Who will be bringing a Cub with them? I would hate to see Rick bring the dyno down if no one will be using it. It looks like the Bash will be a great place to get your Cub going so you get peak performance.

HILLSBOROUGH — Orange Countys top prosecutor will deputize three special assistant district attorneys to help him navigate the uncharted waters of the states criminal cases against sports agents accused of providing improper benefits to UNC-Chapel Hill football players.
Jim Woodall, the Orange district attorney, elaborated on the novelty of the criminal allegations Wednesday, just minutes after a Georgia-based agent made a first appearance in court.
Terry Watson, 39, of Marietta, Ga., has been charged with 13 counts of providing illegal benefits to three former Tar Heels Greg Little, Marvin Austin and Robert Quinn.
All three are now in the NFL. Little is a receiver with the Cleveland Browns, who reportedly signed him to a $4.4 million, four-year contract in 2011. Quinn, a defensive end, was a first-round draft pick in 2011 by the St. Louis Rams. Austin, a defensive tackle, signed with the Miami Dolphins last month after the New York Giants released him in August.
Watson, who was released on a $50,000 bond, also is accused of one felony count of obstruction of justice for initially refusing to let state investigators scrutinize his records.
The arrest came six days after a former UNC tutor, Jennifer Wiley Thompson, was charged in a case being watched by prosecutors and defense attorneys across the nation.
Because an Orange County grand jury recently handed down indictments in five cases that were immediately sealed, three more arrests are expected.
Although there may be some things that have to be tied up as to the indictments that have already come down, I think in large part its been concluded, Woodall said about the investigation Wednesday. Whether or not there are going to be more investigations or other people investigated, thats a question that only the Secretary of States office can answer.
The criminal accusations, thought to be the first of their kind in the nation, stem from a protracted investigation launched by the Secretary of States office after a 2010 NCAA probe exposed questionable activity between sports agents and the UNC football program.
Investigators have collected documents including phone records, bank statements and correspondence. Investigators had to go to court to compel the NCAA, the governing body for college athletics, to produce documents and details related to the case.
Other schools, agents?
Though there have been mounting concerns nationwide about improper contact between athletes and sports agents, legal analysts have speculated that few criminal charges result because of the time and money it takes to investigate and prosecute such cases.
I think its a good use of resources, Woodall said Wednesday, because I think its something we need to take seriously.
He did not count out the possibility that the investigation into agents connected to the UNC scandal might lead to inquiries at other schools inside and outside of North Carolina.
It would be nice if some other states get involved and do some investigations, Woodall said.
Watson, listed earlier this year by the NFL Players Association as having negotiated six active contracts, has been stung over the past two years by key clients leaving his firm for larger and more prominent agencies.
The indictments unsealed Wednesday accuse him of illegally providing Little with about $18,200 in cash $6,600 of which was provided after NCAA investigators began their inquiry in Chapel Hill.
Watson also is accused of providing Little with two round-trip airline tickets between North Carolina and Florida the last weekend in May 2010, at a value of $1,574, and a hotel room with Internet service at the Doubletree by Hilton Surfcomber in Miami benefits valued at $683.24.
The defendant is accused of providing Austin with $2,000 in cash on May 4, 2010.
The accusations related to Quinn, the only 2011 first-round draft pick of the three players, are for two round-trip airline tickets between North Carolina and Florida on May 26, 2010 and a hotel room with no Internet service benefits valued at $675.74.
Uncharted territory
Russell Babb, the Raleigh lawyer representing Watson, said he had not had time by Wednesday afternoon to read what was alleged in the indictments.
This is uncharted territory, Babb said after the hearing. Im going to study the indictments. Were going to scrutinize this statute. We look forward to the criminal discovery process so we can determine whats backing up these allegations.
Woodall said he plans to deputize Erin Finucan and Dena King from the Secretary of States office and Mitch Garrell, a former prosecutor in Durham who is now in a new white-collar crimes post created by the N.C. Conference of District Attorneys. Woodall and the three spent time with state investigators recently studying the North Carolina law that regulates the behavior of sports agents.
We had to figure out what the law was and how to write the indictments, Woodall said.
NCAA rules allow agents to meet with college athletes, but forbid the students from entering into contracts, verbal or written, while still eligible to play. Players cannot accept meals, gifts, transportation or other incentives to sign contracts later.
The NCAA regulations govern the athletes and schools, but not the agents.
Under North Carolina law, sports agents are required to register with the Secretary of States office and are prohibited from providing cash and other benefits to student athletes.
In addition to mandatory registration, the law requires agents to notify schools immediately when they sign college athletes. The students are given 14 days to change their mind and cancel contracts.
Schools have the legal right to sue agents who violate the law, though that option is rarely exercised. Agents who fail to comply can be punished with civil or criminal penalties.
Though a criminal conviction carries up to 15 months, the nature of the law, Woodall said, is that anyone convicted who has no prior criminal record would get probation, not prison time.
A glimpse at the case
Search warrants and other court documents associated with the Secretary of State investigation offer a deeper glimpse into part of the prosecutions case.
Little, according to a warrant unsealed last month, told agents with the Secretary of States office that he received more than $20,000 from Watson in 2010, his final year on campus before leaving school.
UNC had declared Little permanently ineligible amid the widespread NCAA investigation that resulted in sanctions against the UNC football program.
The NCAAs investigation found that multiple football players received impermissible benefits valued at more than $31,000.
State investigators contended in court documents that Little told them in January that he had received a steady stream of cash from Watson during his time at UNC.
The affidavit says that after Little agreed to let Watson become his agent, Watson came to North Carolina and provided Little with $5,000. Little told the state investigators that Watson gave him a monthly cash allowance of $2,200, and that he received $20,000 from Watson in 2010 alone.
Payments sent to tutor
The affidavit revealed that Little did not want to receive the payments directly from Watson for fear of potential scrutiny from the NCAA, so he had payments sent to Thompson, the former UNC tutor who also was cited in the NCAA infractions report as engaging in academic misconduct by helping players too much with their homework and school papers.
Thompson made a first appearance in Orange County District Court last week on four counts of athlete-agent inducement, a low-level felony that carries a maximum of 15 months in prison and also the possibility of civil penalties up to $25,000.
Prosecutors contend that Thompson provided Little with two $579 round-trip plane tickets to Florida as part of an attempt to persuade him to enter a contract with Watson.
Later that year, the indictments charge, Thompson delivered packages to Little containing $2,000 and $150 in cash.
Watson, according to the affidavit from search warrants unsealed earlier this year, sent payments to Thompsons address, and then she would forward them to Little.
Both Thompson and Watson are scheduled to make appearances in Orange County Superior Court in mid-December.

PUSD, Armageddon and Trust
Original post made by Start Afresh on Jun 13, 2011
Superintendent Ahmadi has been advised this past year on several occasions that she has inherited a "Trust Deficit" brought on by prior superintendents. The advice was coupled with recommendations to restore that trust through sound educational, managerial and fiscal excellence and new best practices in K-12 education.
This year's budget process, together with the Measure E campaign, was an exercise in Armageddon fear mongering as described here (Web Link).
Rather than comb through voter records to determine which supporters did not vote and strategize how to run a better GOTV marketing/political campaign, PUSD would better serve the community by doing what is right for the students.
Restoring trust with effective educational leadership will serve PUSD and the community well.
on Jun 13, 2011 at 10:19 pm
The community does trust the school district. We have excellent schools. I support PUSD running a better marketing campaign. Doing that is doing the right thing for our students.
on Jun 13, 2011 at 10:26 pm
I agree with concerned parent. The post has a definite 'When did you stop beating your wife?' quality about it. Just a way for Start Afresh to trot out tired old views as a means probably of deflecting attention from more interesting, thought-provoking threads.
on Jun 14, 2011 at 8:56 am
Seems like it is not over for Start Afresh's campaign to build distrust in this community. She preaches to distrust before listening to the facts, ignore the truth behind the school budget, and then claim fraud. She really takes us for idiots to think we haven't done our homework to find out what is going on at the state level to fund our schools. All that Start Afresh and her blog does is build more distrust for her and this fraction of our community that is out to take down what the rest of us work so hard to build. Really Start Afresh, what have you done for the schools to improve them?

RALEIGH — A new generation of music agents, promoters and music industry executives could get their start in Wake County thanks to the help of recording superstar Usher.
In a partnership with Ushers New Look Foundation, Wake County middle school and high school students will be able to take courses that will teach them about careers in the music industry. The new Music Moguls program will be piloted in the 2014-15 school year by 10 Wake schools before expanding in the states largest school system.
The excitement level was high when school administrators gave an overview of the program last week to school board members.
The content itself is so engaging that I really do think it will help with some of our kids who wouldnt traditionally enroll in a business and marketing class or stick with school, said Marlo Gaddis, Wakes director of instructional technology and media services.
The program is the latest philanthropic effort by Usher, an R&B singer who is one of the best selling artists in American music history. Usher founded New Look, a nonprofit organization based in Georgia, to provide leadership training to young people.
Were using the celebrity of Usher to really get the kids interested and to make the content relevant to them, Shawn Wilson, president of New Look, said in an interview Friday.
Wake is one of six districts nationally, and the only one in North Carolina, thats piloting the music industry leadership program. Wake school officials said the other districts are Del Mar in California, Douglas County in Colorado, Gwinnett County in Georgia and Palm Beach and Polk counties in Florida.
Theyre one of the most forward-thinking districts, Wilson said of Wake. You can see theyre embracing a 21st century school district mentality.
Some classes to start in fall
Wake school officials got the chance to meet Usher last year as they cemented the deal, which will cost the district $99,000.
It was certainly fun to meet Usher, said Todd Wirt, Wakes assistant superintendent for academics. But we looked at it as an incredible opportunity to provide another alternative for students, especially in the middle and high school level.
Initially, the program will be offered locally as part of the career and technical education programs at Holly Ridge and Wendell middle schools; Cary, Enloe, East Wake, Heritage, Millbrook and Southeast Raleigh high schools; the Wake Young Mens Leadership Academy and Phillips High School.
New Look will send trainers to Wake in April to give students and teachers a look at what will come next school year.
Teachers will begin offering some of the new material in the fall semester. But Tonya Long, Wakes senior administrator for career and technical education, said they expect to fully implement the new Music Industry Leadership 101 course in high schools in the spring 2015 semester.
Future courses will include Marketing and Branding in the Music Industry, Finance and Mathematics in the Music Industry and Talent and Career Development in the Music Industry.
When you hear Usher, you think immediately of music, Gaddis said. But thats not what this is about. Its really about getting the marketing and business and finance behind the music industry.
Wilson said that students will learn about 30 different music and marketing careers, such as graphic design. He said that the classes will also benefit aspiring performers because theyll need to know about the marketing side of the business if they want to be successful.
Wilson said an exciting part of the online-based program is that students will be able to watch videos from industry leaders. For instance, he said DL Warfield, whose artistic work includes some of Ushers album artwork, will talk about the latest trends in marketing.
Relevant to students
School leaders expect the program to easily draw student interest.
I dont think were going to have an unpopular course, said school board member Bill Fletcher.
Students who complete the program will have access to the iLead application, a system that will allow them to keep in touch with music industry leaders. A few students could get the opportunity to attend festivals and tour with Usher.
Locally, Wake is also trying to arrange partnerships with businesses to provide internship opportunities to students.
One of the nice pieces about it is that automatically you have the Usher name, Gaddis said. Every time I mention that, people are like, Id like to be part of that, please.
In the end, school officials expect the program to be a hit with this generation of students.
I think you would agree that the average middle- and high-schooler probably has a couple of favorite songs and favorite artists, so music is definitely a hook for them, Long said. The content is relevant and real life.

BEIRUT -- A rocket slammed into a building in Syria's northern city of Aleppo and two suicide bombers struck near a mosque in the south Friday, capping a particularly bloody week in the country's civil war with more than 800 civilians killed, including an unusually large proportion in government-held areas.
The residential building struck in Aleppo was in a part of the city controlled by regime forces, as was a university hit earlier in the week in an attack that killed 87 people, mostly students.
The government accused rebels in both attacks, saying they hit the locations with rockets, a claim the opposition denies.
Ballet chief has
surgery after attack
MOSCOW -- An acid attack on the artistic director of the Bolshoi ballet has shone the spotlight on the fierce "Black Swan"-like competition for starring roles at the famed Russian dance company.
The attack on Sergei Filin could be in retaliation for his selection of certain dancers over others for the prized roles, his colleagues said Friday.
They expressed fears that Filin, a 42-year-old former Bolshoi star, could be left partially blind after a masked assailant threw acid in his face as he returned home in Moscow late Thursday.
Autopsy conducted on Ill. lottery winner
CHICAGO -- Authorities on Friday exhumed the body a Chicago man who was poisoned with cyanide after winning the lottery and conducted an autopsy in the hopes that it will help solve the mystery surrounding his death.
The body of Urooj Khan was exhumed from a cemetery Friday morning and placed inside a black hearse, which was escorted by four police cars to the Cook County Medical Examiner's Office.
Khan, 46, died in July as he was about to collect $425,000 in lottery winnings. His death initially was ruled a result of natural causes. But a relative whose identity remains a mystery asked for further tests that revealed in November that he had been poisoned.

Larry Mermelstein began his study of Buddhism while completing a B.A. in religion at the University of Michigan, where he concentrated on Sanskrit and Buddhist studies, along with ethnomusicology. He spent a month in the summer of 1971 at Samye Ling in Scotland, his first encounter with Buddhist practice, which led him to seek out Trungpa Rinpoche in person at Tail of the Tiger in Vermont.
Upon finishing college, Larry moved to Boulder in 1973, worked at an offset printer in Denver, and assisted Jonathan Eric, acting director of Karma Dzong. That fall, Larry was among the first paid staff ($72/week) at the emerging Naropa Institute, serving as faculty administrator, director of the library and bookstore, and assistant to the director for the first two years. Tibetan-language studies began in earnest during Naropa's first summer. Rinpoche asked Larry to begin teaching dharma courses there in early 1975.
Larry taught at the 1975 Seminary and then in residence at Karme Choling. A year later, he was appointed co-director of RMDC. A translation center was envisioned there, with Lama Ugyen Shenpen, Dana Dudley, Robin Kornman, and Larry, but the program demands overshadowed such scholarly pursuits, so Rinpoche moved the translation focus to Boulder in 1978.
Larry became an editor at Shambhala Publications upon returning to Boulder, eventually becoming the managing editor, and he has continued to serve as a consulting editor ever since. He also became executive director of the Nalanda Translation Committee in 1978.
Full-time work with the Nalanda Translation Committee began just before moving to Halifax in 1986 where he currently resides with his wife, Gina, and daughter, Julia, now in college. Since the early 1980s, Larry participated in meetings of the Vajradhatu/Nalanda board of directors, and in 1990 he was appointed as a member of the newly formed Shambhala International board, serving until 2005. Larry was appointed by Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche as an acharya in 1996.

If it seems unlikely for a
vegetarian (that would be
me) to own a couple of table-
bound pigs, it probably
seems downright absurd
that their names should be
Tender and Delicious.
And yet, there they are, in their little house, behind their fence, a couple hundred yards behind the house here at Schoolhouse Farm. They've been here since earlier in the summer.
For my part, I've never been so glad to have had a series of sinus allergies that have impaired my olfactory abilities.
Having spent even just a little bit of time with them, I've begun to wonder exactly how it is that pigs ever became such a popular farm animal. Perhaps it is a testament to the supreme gastronomical pleasure of bacon and pork chops, because they seem to be among the more difficult animals to bring from farm to table.
First, there's the smell. Oh. My. Lord. The smell. It would be more pleasant to raise a herd of skunks with major anxiety disorders. Then there's that legendary pig intelligence.
Since I was a little girl, I've heard people compare pigs to dogs because of their intelligence. I have it on good authority that one of the farmers at The Farmers' Museum teaches the pigs there to sit in order to get their daily meals.
P.S. If you ever have pigs, teach them to sit in order to get their food. The difference between a pig who will sit and a pig who just wants to eat is like the difference between a wolf and a golden retriever.
At my house, we have wolves. They are small, pink, oinking wolves, but wolves nonetheless.
Remember the pig scene in "The Wizard of Oz," before the twister and Dorothy's trip to the Yellow Brick Road? Dorothy is walking along the pigs' fence like a balance beam, and falls into their pen. All the adults drop what they're doing and race to her rescue.
This Wonderful Life: Are pork chops really that good?
If it seems unlikely for a
vegetarian (that would be
me) to own a couple of table-
bound pigs, it probably
seems downright absurd

Pitbull Fires Back At Lindsay Lohan And Now They Will Battle It Out In Court!

"When he accepted the fight against Jon Jones, I couldn't sleep.... He never gets tired. Bisping said, 'Ah, I'm going to get Vitor tired and then I'm going to punch and kick him.' I think he needs to change his mind and he needs to look for something different because Vitor never gets tired [laughs]. Sorry Bisping, but I think it's going to be very fast [smiles]."
-- Joana Prado, a former Brazilian model and Playboy Playmate who doubles as the wife of former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Champion Vitor Belfort, recently weighed in on her husband's upcoming showdown with Michael Bisping in the UFC on FX 7 main event, which will take place later this evening (Jan. 19, 2013) from the Ibirapuera Arena in Sao Paulo, Brazil. "Feiticeira" -- who admits she couldn't sleep when "The Phenom" was booked to battle the dangerous Jon Jones at UFC 152 -- doesn't have the same feeling this time around when it comes to the "Count." Indeed, it must be remarkably nerve-racking to be married to, or romantically involved with, a professional fighter (just ask Pat Barry for proof positive). But, Prado now appears to be at ease, scoffing at all the mixed martial arts (MMA) "experts" who think that Bisping can win if he can out-pressure and out-cardio Belfort, a hard-hitting fast starter who historically is most successful sooner rather than later during his fights. In fact, she doesn't appear very concerned at all and predicts her man will make quick work of the British barker. Does this match up amuse you, too, or will the Bisping clan have the last laugh when the dust settles?

ALS Express Bike Ride-- Phelan's Phighters by Karolina - about 1 year ago
"This is a photo of our team--Phelan's Phighters (about 25 riders) taken on June 15, 2013 in Wildwood, NJ. We were taking part in ALS Express Bike ride for research. My husband, Tom, was diagnosed with ALS in January of 2013, and we gathered a team to ride for him. Some of us rode 25 miles, and some rode 10 miles. We collected over $11,000 for the ALS Association Greater Philadelphia Chapter, and the money will go to research to find a cure for ALS. It was a very emotional and tiring day for all, but we are already talking about next year. We want to be even bigger! Thanks CustomInk for making our team T-shirts. We chose bright orange color, and we were all very visible to the cars on the road and to each other! CustomInk made designing our team T-shirts very easy, and every member of our team loved them! We did not take them off after the ride, but kept them on all day!!!"

Richmond police need your help finding the man behind a double shooting. They say he got into an argument at the Hull Street Valero, chased the person down, and shot into his car, hitting two people.
"It appears to be a dispute between two parties that got out of hand," said Detective Jon Bridges.
Police hope his outfit will spark someone's memory. He was wearing a purple shirt, hat, and jacket with the shoes to match.
"Community involvement here is absolutely important to solving this," said Detective Bridges.
Investigators say the argument started at the Valero at Hull Street and Warwick Road. Investigators say the suspect chased down the victim and shot into his car.
"It is an incident we are quite concerned about," said Bridges. "There seems to be an element of road rage associated with it."
The two people riding in the car were shot. One person is okay, but the other person is in critical condition.
"We're hoping for a full recovery," said Bridges. "But he is quite injured."
It is up to you to help police spot a suspect decked out in purple. He is possibly driving a black two door Mercedes Benz

The Jacksonville University women's basketball team will look to claim the top spot in the Atlantic Sun as they face Florida Gulf Coast on Thursday, Jan. 23. Both teams are unbeaten in conference play and are on a five-game win streak. Tip-off is slated for 7:05 p.m. and the contest will be streamed at no fee on ESPN3.
The Eagles command the all-time series with an 11-1 landslide. The Dolphins sole victory over FGCU occurred on Jan. 5, 2008 which was also the first meeting between the two.
JU then continues their road trip on Saturday, Jan. 25 against defending conference champion Stetson at 1 p.m. The Hatters hold the series record with a 19-13 advantage.
After a stressful December, the Dolphins opened conference action rejuvenated and refreshed.

JU had three players finish in double-digits with senior guard Stephanie Edwards leading the way with 16 points.
Averaging 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds, sophomore guard Queen Alford was also clutch in the team's last two victories. In the 86-65 win over the Lipscomb, she led JU in scoring with 17 points to go alongside seven rebounds, four assists and two steals and against NKU she chipped in with 14 points and eight boards.
There has been a recent surge in the Dolphins that only conference play can explain. Over the last five games, the Dolphins have five players averaging double-figures.

The Eagles (11-6, 5-0) have won 41 consecutive Atlantic Sun games in the last three seasons for the nation's second-best streak. Senior captain Sarah Hansen currently leads the team with 13.7 points and 6.7 rebounds per game. She is trailed closely by redshirt-sophomore guard Whitney Knight who is averaging 13.2 points and 4.7 boards on the season.

Cheat Codes - Vortex and Texas Hold'em
For the first time ever on the iPod, Apple has released cheat codes that unlock hidden levels and power-ups found in its fifth-generation iPod games Vortex and Texas Hold'em. Multiple codes can be combined in each game, making it much easier to beat difficult stages.
In Vortex, you need to bring up the Main Menu without a game in progress. You'll see an option called Personal Info. Select Rename, and enter one of the following new player names using the letter selection tool. Hold down the iPod's center Action button until the code activates.
ME_PAZ activates the laser power-up, which burns through bricks in a straight line.
I_GUNZ activates the gun power-up, which destroys bricks one at a time.
FORSIX gives you 24 lives.
_PWR_B (space PWR space B) gives you the powerball, which shatters multiple bricks at a time.
NO_ID_ (NO space ID space) unlocks special backgrounds not found anywhere in the game's 40 original levels, or in the randomly generated ones that appear after those have been completed.
Texas Hold'em
In Texas Hold'em, go to the Options menu, and select New Player. Enter the cheat code as a new player name using the letter selection tool. Once the cheat code is entered, the iPod will jump to the checkmark (done) character. At this point, you must hold down the center button until the code activates, and you'll see the word Secret appear on screen.
By entering YOUCHEAT, you'll activate a secret menu that gives you five options: unlock all tournaments, start with $100,000 in cash, show tells and/or down cards, and adjust the AI to fold normally, often, or never. Other cheats are below.

Another cheat for vertex is in game pause press menu multiple times until you get 99 lives repeat this as needed

When playing vortex, if you pause in the middle of a level (hit menu) and then hit the next song button, it automatically beats the level. But it also changes the song…which sucks if you are listening to a good one.

Do these cheats only work on 5th gen ipods, I have a 3rd gen Nano. Does 5th gen mean soft ware release or iPod gen?
Posted by Steve Risk on April 19, 2009 at 11:49 PM (CDT)

Skip a level: when you are playing vortex sideways on the new nano you hit the>>| and it will pause it, then you hit menu and play /pause or(>||) . then it will skip the leval you are on.

BOSTON (AP) - Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is campaigning with U.S. Senate hopeful and fellow Republican Gabriel Gomez.
The two men walked along Boylston Street on Thursday, shaking hands. They stopped at Marathon Sports near the location of the Boston Marathon bombings and greeted firefighters at a nearby fire station.
They also planned to stop by the memorial for the victims of the twin bombs in Copley Square.
Giuliani said the fact the area has come back to life so quickly and that people are eating outside shows "a resilience that is really a defense against terrorism."
Giuliani, who is 69, also praised Gomez because he is a fresh face to politics and referred to Markey, without naming him, as "really old."
The 66-year-old Markey has been in Congress more than three decades.

LITTLETON, Colo. — With two weeks left, the outcome of the presidential election could hinge on a relatively small group of suburban voters in swing states, who are genuinely conflicted about and often disenchanted by the choice before them.
They are people like Mark Bremmer, 50, a freelance designer who is something of a unicorn in the current political climate: An educated, informed and truly undecided voter still waiting for either side to tackle real problems in a way that feels truthful.
"What I want are common sense, pragmatic approaches to our very real problems, which are being grandstanded and marginalized by the rhetoric used to characterize them," he said recently. "I would like honest dialogue. That's what I'm looking for." Bremmer said he's leaning toward Republican Mitt Romney but remained unhappy with the lack of solutions from either side.
As a group, suburban voters are more affluent, more educated and more female than the population generally, and, although anxious about the economy, they survived the economic crash better than their fellow citizens in rural areas, better than blue-collar workers and better than city dwellers.
It's in the nation's suburban swing that President Obama and his campaign hope to build a margin that will help bring him 270 electoral votes. They believe the grass-roots organizing they initiated in 2008 — with neighborhood team leaders responsible for reaching out individually to voters, precinct by precinct — works especially well among suburban voters, who build off existing PTA, church and playground relationships. And it is here that Romney is counting on disenchantment with the president and the economy to swing voters his way.
The battle for these voters will be fought in places such as Loudoun and Prince William counties in Virginia, Jefferson and Arapahoe counties outside Denver, the suburbs of Cleveland and Columbus in Ohio, the Orlando area of Florida — and they are likely to, once again, shape the election's outcome in November.

"Dangerous" road shelves Credenhill houses
Updated 8:21am Tuesday 4th February 2014 in News
DEVELOPERS looking to build nine houses at Credenhill will have to wait after planners delayed making their decision last week.
With a number of unreported road accidents on the development's access road raised at the meeting, the deferral will force the applicant, Peter Griffiths, and council planners to consider all options – without the risk of a costly appeals process to the council.
While the plans were fully supported by planning officers, local representatives cited the access on to a "dangerous" stretch of the A480 as their main reason for opposition.
Residents claim that the road sees a minor accident on average once a week, but, councillor Bob Matthews told the meeting, very few are reported to police.
Access to the Cross Farm development comes at a point on the A-road near to bus stops and a pedestrian crossing well used by elderly villages and children from the nearby primary school.
And, the deferral – approved by nine votes to two – will give both sides to look at a proposed remodelling of one bus stop that will allow busses the space to pull off the main road.
Planning officer Kelly Gibbons said the issue of access was given "very serious" consideration, but based on the evidence, the addition of nine houses would not have a created an excessive increase in traffic on the road.

Muchachos Drum & Bugle Corps seeks new members
Vachon, of Litchfield, serves as publicity director for Manchester's Muchachos Drum & Bugle Corps. The group, one of only two remaining active drum and bugle corps in New Hampshire, is holding open rehearsals next Sunday from 12:30 to 5 p.m. at its headquarters in the Brady-Sullivan Tower, 1750 Elm St.
"We're hoping to get as many people as we can to come out," said Vachon. . . . . We've expanded our recruiting area to include all cities and towns in the state and Greater New England."
The band, led by director Al Gagne, has evolved over the past 53 years.
In the early 1960s and mid-1970s, the Muchachos competed on several drum and bugle corps circuits in New England. The Granite State had more than a dozen active drum and bugle corps at the time, with membership in the Muchachos open to individuals up to age 21. Today, the Muchachos has about 40 members.
"I think we reached our peak membership of about 85 members in 1975," said Vachon. "The Muchachos ceased active operations in 1985, due primarily to dropping membership numbers and a lack of operating funds."
The corps remained quiet until the fall of 1996, when Manchester celebrated its 150th anniversary. A group of alumni joined forces in an effort to march one more time down Elm Street, but enough interest was generated to re-establish the corps. The Muchachos are now registered as a 501C3 non-profit group, opening up the age range to include youth and adult members.
The band will begin its 2013 season by marching in the Manchester St. Patrick's Day Parade and the Holyoke, Mass., St. Pat's Parade.

Carbon or BATES throwout bearing which one to use ?????

Carbon or BATES throwout bearing which one to use ?????
I am at the point there where I need to decided on what throwout bearing to use. Do I want to stay with the original carbon style or go the next step and hopefully better design and buy one of the Bates throwout bearing??
I have emailed Rudi in hopes he could give me some "words of wisdom" and he is waiting for a response from the Bates Corp. on wheather they fixed the problem the bearing getting ate up, or what ever has been occuring.
Has the Bates bearing getting ate up by the pressure plates arms an isolated case?
I myself really like the idea of a roller bearing design, but I really don't want to split the tractor back apart and going back to an OEM carbon in a few weeks or months, especailly with a putting on a new paint job.
Keep in mind with this tractor there will be a LOT of stop and go running and PLUS my 12 year son wants to drive it and I have one heck of time in keeping him from riding the clutch on my 8N. I don't think the carbon would hold up as well as the Bates on a "clutch rider" and I know he will.
Please let me know any and all views and how the Bates actually works. I want to order "A" bearing this week and get this thing back together and painted.
Thanks, John Niekamp
I have had a Bates TOB in my '50 for a little over a year. It has worked flawlessly for me. I didn't install it, so it must have been done right. I must say that the bearing doesn't have a lot of time on it. By that I mean that, since I use the Cub for mowing only, the clutch probably doesn't get pushed in and released more than a half dozen times per mowing session.
Bottom line - I really like mine and would use another if I had another Cub.
My worst day on a Cub is better than my best day at the office!
John, The one Bud is rebuilding for me is getting the bearing type throwout. I read the posts, but decided to go with it anyway. I got mine from http://www.jptractorsalvage.com I'm not sure, but I think they get theis from a different supplier than Bates does. If you decide to get the original type, get one from a dealer. I bought an aftermarket one once to save money, and replaced it 3 times in 14 months before I bought one from a dealer.

I'm one of the ones who have had trouble with a Bates bearing, it was chewed up after less than 2hrs running time. I spoke w/ the kind folks at Bates, and I decided I would try another Bates- the bearing type just makes more sense to me than the graphite block. I should be installing it in the next week or two, and will let ya'll know the results.
In most Cubs the original has lasted for up to 50 years.
I will stay with the OEM.
30 + tractors including 2 French Super Cubs, French Cubs, 1963 Industrial Cub, 1955 Cub Highcrop etc...German and French built IH tractors and some bigger IH tractors. Of course I have about 20 IH trucks and an IH refridge in the Shop.
When I did Ole Malley, I took the clutch, flywheel and TOB to my clutch specialty shop in Johnson City, TN. They specialize in rebuilding clutches for Tractor trailer rigs. He immediately knew what the pressure plate was out of when I tossed in on the counter (a real old timer). He said my original graphite TOB needed to be milled flat, which he did, and said it would be good for another fifty years. He also set my clutch finger adjustment on a special machine to make sure that they all were exactly adjusted to be even. Even used a feeler gauge if I remember correctly. It's been ten years and the original graphite TOB is doing just fine. Not a question IMHO.

Bates roller Bearing ,went out on me , Less than 1 hour run time.Bates sent me a new one.Great people and a great business to deal with.Will let you know when I get it out ,I will be sending the old one back to them.What are you going to do, s**t happens. Don't sweat the small stuff.The engine parts I got from them work great.
I'm using a Value Built for the last 15 months. Will post if and when I replace it.
Young man for work, old man for advice
I installed a new Bates bearing when restoring my 49 and within 2 hours running time the entire front flange of the bearing was ground away..I noticed that the bearing turned somewhat stiff and was skeptical whether it spun or not..anyway I sent it back and they replaced it, this one spun very freely but started to do the very same thing, I could lay under the tractor running and engage the clutch by hand and see the metal dust flying off the bearing, this has to be an alignment problem, if the bearing isn't perfectly centered on the fingers then is is constantly scrubbing and wearing..no adjustment there except to bend the bracket left to right..after the 3rd split I installed an IH graphite bearing and haven't had any problem with several hours plowing snow and using the clutch a lot..So I don't reccomend the Bates..Gary L.
Gary L.
Thanks Gary for feedback , I noticed the same thing when mine was installed.Now I'm sweaten I don't want to do this the third time.My paint job is chiping off.Please lets not turn this(cub) into somthing like my job
To be honest I am leaning towards the factory original carbon bearing, BUT the "VALUE BUILT" has sparked my interest too now.
Can anyone give me some more information? is this somthing even different?
What I am reading into this, with the way the factory bent up engagement fork (if you will) can cause the Bates bearing to go off center of the pressure plate fingers causing this to run off center and ruin the new bearing. Am I on the right track here?
I guess like someone else said the carbon has lasted 50 or more years in several cases.
John Niekamp
I think it is just as good. Lots of parts for a Cub even from a Dealer are after market. Lots of what I have bought from dealer was made in Taiwan.
Actually I got mine from Ebay still in the box for $28.
Young man for work, old man for advice
I don't understand why this is still a question. No one has ever (to my knowledge) had a problem with the graphite bearing. Several people have reported having problems with the ball bearing type TOB. What is the advantage to changing to a roller bearing TOB? A little less friction when engaged? The pressure and thrust on the crankshaft will be the same with either type. What am I missing?
YD, Grover and Ole Malley

Yo's Dad,
Why would you replace something that worked for 50 yrs with some new fangled thing.......Why would you go and buy some inferior after market battery box........Why would you convert your tractor to 12 volt when a 6 volt works just fine ( if you did it right)...... Why would you buy from someone other than your IH dealer?
The reason......people are cheap......and these are the same people who complain that there isn't an IH dealer near them anymore.
Wonder why.........it's hard for them to stay in business when you don't buy from them.
My 2 cents........I'd give you a nickles worth but I can be cheap also.
30 + tractors including 2 French Super Cubs, French Cubs, 1963 Industrial Cub, 1955 Cub Highcrop etc...German and French built IH tractors and some bigger IH tractors. Of course I have about 20 IH trucks and an IH refridge in the Shop.
I don't know that so much of it is being cheap. Some people think the technology of 50 years ago can't be as good as todays new stuff.
Breaking your tractor in half is a lot of work and guys want to go with the best they can afford. I don't think anyone wants to have to replace a TOB any more often then necessary. Granted a new ball bearing type TOB would seem to be a "Better" alternative to the old graphite type; but, in this case, there appears to be mixed results.
I like the graphite bearings I have had one in my '48 for 14 years with no problems and it looks like it will last for at least another 5 to 8 years.

Spring is officially here and it's time to say hello to short sleeves and dresses but not everyone is ready to flaunt the body that's been hiding under layers of clothing all winter. Hollywood's Dr. Aaron Rollins is offering his clients the perfect treatment to looking their best in those new spring clothes- Airbrush Laser Lipo.
Dr. Aaron Rollins is the liposuction doctor to the stars, as well as, the founder of Elite Body Sculpture in Beverly Hills, California and Sacramento, CA. Dr. Rollins is considered a specialist in body sculpting and has performed thousands of laser liposuction procedures.
Airbrush Laser Lipo is a minimally invasive 3-step procedure that removes fat without the use of a needle, scalpel or stitches. The treatment actually feels like a massage for most patients since they are awake the entire time. Patients see instant results the day of the procedure and most can go back to their regular workout routines within a week.
Airbrush Laser Lipo for the arms is the number one request among patients who can't wait to wear sleeveless shirts in the spring. Patients can be out the door in as little as 20 minutes (arms are the quickest healing area) with full recovery in about 4 days.
3 Steps To Perfection:
Step 1: numb the fat
Step 2: laser and melt the fat and tighten the skin
Step 3: use the airbrush laser lipo tool (smallest possible tube) to gently remove fat without hurting other tissues.
