I purchased a '49 Farmall Cub three years ago. I want to grow some grass and have decided to put the little guy to some gentle use around here. I live up in the Huachuca Mt. of SE Arizona, and have had literally hundreds of loads of red dirt/clay hauled into my property for landscaping and fill. The problem is that it gets so hard its almost impossible to grow anything. So...I want to start dragging something around with the cub, but never having farmed, I'm not sure how to proceed. I am considering a disc and also a harrow rake. Would a small disc be easier to pull for the cub? Also, the Cub does have hydraulics...a "lifting bar" is centered over the drawbar, but I do not have the three pt. style hitch. Are these available? Would this allow me to vary the depth of cut of the disc? Do I need to locate a Cub disc or would a Sears or other manufacturer work? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Mike, there are disks made for the cub that will allow you to use them without a 3 point hitch. That would be the cheapest way to go. 3 point hitches are expensive. Check the implement pictures on the TM Tractor site or look at some of the manuals on Rudi's page for a visual. I have also seen landscape rakes rigged up using the cub drawbar and the rear rockshaft for lifting.
And welcome to the board!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.

Hello Bigdog
Thanks for your fast reply. I am anxious to get going now and get something done before our summer rains begin in late June or July. We are hoping for some above average rainfall this summer.
Please tell me the disc you would recommend, wher I can order it
and if the disc would be easier for the Cub to pull. ( rather than harrow rake ). I want to break up the ground but not more than three to four inches max. I also want to go easy on the Cub and not get him too dirty. Its a really nice machine....I have been looking at it for too long now and just have to drive it around awhile. This should not be a problem as far as messing anything up.
Should I use only granny low gear for discing.
Thank you again.

HI Mike, and welcome aboard!! An old horse "team disk" or team harrow (meaning meant to be pulled by 2 horses) should do the trick for you. They can be easily adapted to hook on a tractor drawbar, and many have been in the early days of tractor farming. You might be able to find one kicking around an old fence row somewhere.
V.P. of T.S.A. (taking stuff apart)
Here is an example of a cub pull type disc harrow (I bottowed this pic from JP Tractor Salvage):
If you are sowing grass, I usually disc first and then use a drag or spike harrow to smooth it up on the final pass. You can also use a spike harrow to lightly cover the seed. Some people also use a drag, which is simply some oak 6x6's bolted together to smooth it up after disking but before before seeding. If you get the implement sized for the cub it should handle anything you want to pull.

More Help for the Novice Cubber New Guy
Hello again and thanks for all of the help and patience with a NOVICE. Great web site too.
I received a Northern Tool & Equipment Catalog in the mail yesterday. They have some good looking disc cutivators that are made for use with ATV's. Some have the three point hitch, some have some tires on the back that I guess you have to manually lower to pull the thing around without cultivating. They are all between 48 and 53 inches wide. What do you think about using the ATV tools with the Cub?
I'm thinking I should get the 3 pt. hitch for my Cub. Would that allow me to raise and lower the disc with the rock shaft arm. Being able to lift the cultivator would seem like a good thing. Would it allow me to vary the depth of my cut into the ground? The hydraulics on my Cub are all newly rebuilt and work great as does the PTO.
Looking forward...I also will need a good mower. I have seen many Cubs on Ebay with the Woods Belly Mower. This looks like the way to go but does this mower make a good smooth cut? Does the Woods mower work well with all of those belts and pullys, or is that a problem? The Northern catalog also has some drag along rotary power mowers and some 3 and 5 gang reel mowers made for ATV's What mower would you recommend?
What will a GOOD Woods mower and all needed suspension, pullys and belts run me? Are these still available new? Can one of you quote me a price for a good 3 pt. hitch?
Thanks again.
Mike Tiemann
When I was looking, Worksaver had one but I believe the price was $550. I had mine made for less that $100. Go to Worksaver's site or order their catelog. It is probably better to go with a category 1 rather than category 0. It's a little more popular for attachments.
Mike, Woods still makes mowers for the cub. But they are pricey - about $1200 - $1300 if I recall correctly for a 5 foot finish mower. You can find the 42" mowers used all the time from places like J.P. Tractor Salvage and also from private owners and on ebay. You can pick one up usually anywhere from $250 - $450. The 42" mower cuts very well if kept sharp and maintained. Not a manicure cut lawn, but good.
The atv implements will work with your cub, but not as well as properly sized , heavier-built implements. The 3 point hitch is nice but again very pricey as Rocketman said. But hey! it's only money!
If you can't fix it with a hammer, you've got an electrical problem.
My wife says I don't listen to her. - - - - - - - - Or something like that!
http://www.worksaver.com has the 3-pt hitch for Cubs. They run around $600 or so. A new Woods mower will be over $1000. The belts/pulley system works very well and the finishing mower will do a really nice job.
The style of mower you need depends on the vegetation you intend to cut, how tall it gets between cuttings, overall condition of your Cub's engine, the terrain (lawn, field, ditches, size/shape of cutting area, grade, uneven versus smooth ground) and what you want the finished job to look like.
Lurker Carl
After trying to find a decent used belly mower for my '55 Loboy, I bit the bullet and purchased a new Woods L59, about $1300 w/everything, including 2 casters. As I bought it last fall, I really haven't had a chance to mow with it, but I can tell you that it fits the tractor perfectly--good design.
I'll be painting it when it gets a little warmer...

Jeff How far will your tractor travel after pushing in the clutch. Slipping the pto lever out of gear as you depress clutch may be ok when you know where your are going stop but what about in a emergency. My old C2 I guess it is has a free wheeling clutch on it. Just wondering?
Young man for work, old man for advice
I've got a C-3 and I figure on about 10 feet - more or less depends on speed, incline and how good (or bad) the brakes are. An over-ride clutch can spoil you! It's a shame it wasn't part of the C-3 package.
Of my two mowing Fords, one has an ORC and the other cannot. A better plan than kicking the PTO out of gear is to kick the transmission out. Either way, it must be done quickly just as the gears go from driving to driven. Then stopping isn't a problem.
I'm sure the Cubs would work the same since they are both sliding gear transmissions.
George Willer
The most affectionate creature in the world is a wet dog. Ambrose Bierce
I was going to make the same suggestion as George. Gear shift is a lot easier to reach than the pto shifter, and also more durable. I used to work on the maintenance crew at the local hospital where we had a cub with a 59 inch Woods. We mowed aobut 5 acres, with alot of shrubs, trees, curbs, etc. I got real good at hitting the clutch and slipping the transmission out of gear when I needed to make a quick stop. It takes a little practice to move the transmission shifter at just the right time when the engine load is off, and before the flywheel action of the mower starts pushing you.

The information below was compiled from Ms.
Sarah Winn's Food Science History, 2006.
The Early Years
The Department of Food Science officially was
formed in 1961, however, scientific studies of food processing
began much earlier at NC State University. The earliest work was
in the area of dairy foods. A creamery was operating on campus
in 1918 that was equipped to pasteurize milk for soldiers at a
local Army base. This was the first milk pasteurized in North
Carolina. A continuing need was seen for better dairy research
for the southern states. With the help of the governor and study
group, $100,000 funding was secured for the best dairy equipment
money could buy (in 1944).
The first fruit and vegetable research was conducted
beginning during the Depression, one of few new programs to be
funded at the time because of the pressing need for preservation
of foods. Peaches, cucumbers for pickles and other native vegetables
were the main commodities that were studied. Research into canning,
brining and dehydration of foods came to the forefront to assist
in feeding the soldiers in WW2. After the war, the emphasis of
research projects expanded to include frozen foods. A small pilot
plant facility was built. A degree program designated "Fruit
and Vegetable Processing" was started in 1945. To assist
with the increasing research needs, chemical labs, processing
and pilot plants was built in the new Horticulture Department
Building in 1953.
Meat and Meat products research began in 1942,
assisting and educating the owners of frozen food locker plants
around the state. Slaughter and processing facilities were located
in the basement of Polk Hall. Extensive research began in the
late 1950's on developing temperature-humidity controlled atmosphere
for the curing of country-style (salt cured) hams. Because of
this, North Carolina became the number one state in the production
of country-style hams. Poultry products research began in 1955,
with research mirroring the concerns from the rapidly growing
poultry industry in the state. Classes on poultry products were
taught beginning in 1958.
In the 1950's the Governor felt that food processing
should play a significant role in the expansion of industry of
the state. A study was conducted and a report ensued that stated
that the cultivation acreage of tobacco was declining and alternative
crops were sought. The development of the processing industry
could create markets for new crops and stabilize prices of fresh
products. The report included the recommendation that a building
that will be used by personnel with mutual interest. In 1961,
money was requested from the Legislature to start a new department
of Food Processing. Governor Terry Sanford made improving food
processing the first priority of his agriculture program. In 1963,
money was slated for construction of the Food Science Building
and lab equipment. The building was dedicated and named for Ira
Obed Schaub, a graduate of NC State in the late 1890's, professor
of Agriculture, director of the Agricultural Research Service
and Extension Service and Dean of the School of Agriculture.

BYRON TWP., Mich. (WZZM) - A Kent County man who was the focus of several 13 On Your Side reports is facing more charges.
Jason Cooper is accused of offering home improvement services, accepting money, and notdoing the work.
The most recent case involved a couple in ByronTownship. Cooper offered toput a new roof on their barn in November of 2011.The couple gave him a $2,970 down payment.He never did any ofthe work.
Since the report was filed in April of 2012,four morevictims have comeforward with the KentCounty Sheriff's Department and the Walker Police Department.
Cooper ischarged with a felony charge of false pretenses over $1,000. At the time of his arrest, he was out on bond on an unrelated felony case.
In April of 2012, Cooperalso offered services to a homeowner in Sparta. She gave him $3,600 for a new roof. He never did any of the work. He was later charged with false pretenses. That case is pending in 63rd District Court.

Man shot in head during robbery

Was it the black male that lives under the overpass, on stevens creek trail, behind the nursery, behind the BMV dealership on the corner of el camino and grant? That black male?

We need a stop and search policy in that neighborhood. This was almost the story of a man shot in the head in broad daylight over probably a cell phone and some pocket money.
Think about the story that was so close to happening:
A body, shot in the head in broad daylight lying in the streets of Mountain View on a bright sunny day...sounds like Pakistan or Mexico cartel country.

Yeaaah the perimeter search failed because he was most likely hiding out in a room at the Ramada or the Westwood Garden Apartments.


text: I always thought that Debi was on the slower side. She skated with muscularity and overt athleticism, but I never really thought of Chin as being much behind her in terms of speed. Plus, Chin was exquisite. It's hard to compare jumps, because after 84, she was only good for usually one or two triples in a LP, but her axel was gorgeous, and with her whole head/muscle imbalance thing it was pointless to compare since Chin was on her way down. The Fassi skaters, Kadavy and Trenary, were faster than Debi from memory. Was there really a feeling of Chin being given more a push than Debi? I seem to recall way back in 1985 that Debi was being given the push. Both were pioneers for their race in the sport and I think the USTA was happy to have both. I'll have to go rewatch 85 Nationals and compare. Chin 85USN LP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgbP4AZE2fg Kadavy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gg-9xiwPv6U&feature=related (notice Caryn nose pre-rhinoplasty) Thomas: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5ctt2Lkb54 This is how I would have ranked the LPs. Chin had the "It" factor, Kadavy was lovely and graceful, and Debi was a bit behind in her presentation even though she attempted twice the triples. I'm just not seeing how Debi was placed down to favor Chin, "Sasha Cohen" of the 80s. The next year Debi was US and World champ for heaven's sake and Chin was skating as fast as she could to oblivion.

A Misty Hike with Middle Schoolers
Despite typical fall Portland rains, ten middle school students and two leaders forged ahead and enjoyed a misty Saturday in the gorge while most Portlanders stayed indoors and missed out on this gorgeous day.
Our original plan was to hike to Elk Meadows, which we changed to Ramona Falls upon realizing that the stream crossing would likely be fairly intense with the fall rains. We then made another change the morning of the hike, however, because we received word that the bridge over the Sandy River heading to Ramona was already taken down for the winter. Armed with resolve to find a beautiful hike that involved a waterfall, we headed toward the Columbia River Gorge.
We met at the Cabell Center at 8:30 am, bright and early. After a quick get-to-know-each other game we boarded the bus and drove east. The sky lightened a bit as we drove, and we decided to seize the opportunity created by the early foul weather to do the well-known but usually-avoided hike (due to crowds) to Wahkeena and Multnomah Falls. We had the first three-fourths of the trail basically to ourselves, and it hardly rained!
After a few miles of switchbacks, we stopped for lunch at the highest elevation point. Students enjoyed the adventure of mini-stream crossings, and especially enjoyed allowing the mist from both Wahkeena and Multnomah Falls to land on them. The 5.2 miles of hiking whizzed by!
This group of students proved to be emerging outdoor leaders. Not only did the chilly weather not stop them, but neither did the steep terrain. The four 8th grade boys all enthusiastically agreed they look forward to climbing St. Helens this year, and the five 6th grade boys and one 6th grade girl held their own keeping up with the swift pace of the older students.
We made it back to school by 3:00 and felt thankful that the shorter drive allowed for a longer hike. We can't wait until the next one!

We had been watching the HAL Panama Canal Cruise and when the price dropped this spring..we booked an outside cabin and we were upgraded to another outside.
The CREW was outstanding! They not only were especially friendly, saying hello and good morning and good evening at every turn.... they were always easy to find.
Our room was in fine shape and clean. I found the Lido deck crews, especially Mari-Ann helpful and funny. You NEVER had to search for service.
The excursions...
Half Moon Cay was GORGEOUS. If you get to the beach EARLY, as recommended, you will find plenty of chaise lounges and lots of tree shade. We were very disappointed to find the " shells" shade tops combined with lounges were all sold out a couple of weeks before. BUT our early arrival got us perfect trees and lounges..NO CHARGE !!The Beach is GORGEOUS, CLEAN,..the water fabulous and lots of great huge swim floats in shallow enough water to be used by anyone. No Charge!!
Aruba & Curacao we took a local tour bus right from the pier.. one for $20 PP, the other for $15 PP. They were great and showed us enough of the island to get an idea of what it offered.
I think both were about 2 hours. Enough time for us to then wander around town on our own to shop or cafe stop. The Iguana Cafe in Curacao had wifi and we were able to log on our " NOOK' to collect and send email for free.. !! Nice !!
Panama Canal was very interesting. We had done a Canal Du Midi trip ourselves before and had an idea what the locks might look like. We were happy to just cross to the Lake. gave us enough of the lock experience with spending hours looking at locks.
Our excursion was $99 PP and a bus traveled 1 1/2 hours to another part of the canal where we got into shaded flat boats holding about 16-20 people and a guide. We wound our way around smaller inlets to see ( to our delight) white face monkeys and sloths and a huge Iguana..... The monkeys came right on the bow of the boat to eat a gift of banana and grapes. bring some !!
Costa Rica we took the Ariel Tram excursion for $ 124. PP. That also had a 1 1/2 hour bus trip to the rainforest's. It's a nice way to get the overall look at a new environment. certainly not a rich country... but not shacks... just small stucco homes, some nest, some not. It was Easter Good Friday so many school children were in the many rivers swimming or picnicking with their families.
The last 2 days were sea days. I think the trip would have been fantastic if they could have planned another HALF MOON CAY day on the way back. Instead we just enjoyed our NOOK readers, which were loaded at home and enjoyed the smooth seas on the side decks.
My only and biggest complaint ( on most ships) is the music. I've always thought they should create a position for someone to walk around all public areas and gauge the social temperature. LOOK AROUND.... is the average age 70??? Then why are you playing a mix of rap and VERY LOUD music???? Do you think we listen to that at home??? Even the speakers on the NICE steel drums were TOO MUCH. I love music....really!! Just background music.
If you wanted to sit with others and people watch and read some there were no QUIET AREAS to do that in. Also there are NEVER ENOUGH DECK CHAIRS in shaded areas....never. Several fellow cruises were always dragging chairs and tables to the shaded area. Doesn't anyone in charge see this??
The food in the main " anytime dining" was fine. Always a nice selection. The Canaletto dining room was very nice. A FREE option for dining. RSV required. I think a more extensive menu is in order. We went there 3 nights....not just for different food, but to escape the formal night with the jacket/tie requirement. I enjoyed the Chicken Marsala and the Limoncello deserts.YUMMY !!!
All and all... a good trip for the money. Met lots of nice people and would take another HAL anytime.. !! We were home in Venice by noon !!

A couple of thoughts emerge from this article. What was the board doing to have this happen to all of the small charities that TVCF was supposed to be helping? If everything that is in this article is true then the board may be grossly deficient in their job. Secondly, are we allowing boards of directors to operate without good training? I know that there are "schools" that can teach a board how to operate as a responsible group to oversee an organization. That being written, I have been on many boards and never been offered the opportunity to be taught what to look for as a board member. This kind of problem is happening far to frequently and maybe we need a regulatory organization to oversee the boards - this hurts my conservative nature but maybe it needs to be done. Another question is about the directors insurance. Does it apply if the director is negligent in their duties? And who decides what is negligent?
This whole thing is a mess and never should have happened. How many dreams of organizations that deposited their funds with TVCF have been wiped out because the board members were negligent in their duties or proper training was not implemented to catch wrongful acts? This has to stop and every board of directors of every non-profit needs to get training for their board.

Interesting quote from the auditor, ""As of June 30, 2009, the foundation had a decrease in total in net assets of $550,963. As a result of these deficits, restricted funds from agency funds were used for working capital purposes with the donor's consent."
That means the Board, which included Ron Hyde at the time, knew about restricted funds being raided. I wonder if any board members checked with the donor's to make sure they really gave their consent. Or did the board even read the auditor reports. David is right that most board members do not have the background at all, or training, to understand financials and audit reports. Not just boards of non-profits like this but I believe this is the case of our elected boards also (e.g., school boards). For the public boards, you can see on TV that the board members just gloss over the details, partially because the employees try to confuse everybody and overwhelm them with information. We see this for public meetings but the same things can go on at non-profit board meetings, as we have seen here. I doubt there were many accountants/CPAs on this foundation board. I feel it is important to have accountants on these boards and I will lump into that category engineers as they are curious by nature and want to understand the data and they have the training to break things down so that the data is understandable. Not saying the whole board needs to be filled with people of these positions but there should be some people on the board who can understand the financials and get into the details.
Whenever an employee of a public or private board, or a board member tells another board member that they are micromanaging and they should trust the employees, that should be a red flag. The boards are responsible and they should have an understanding of the details and ask the tough questions. They should not just trust, but rather verify.
Interesting if you watch the school board meetings, the one people who asks the most questions, Valerie Arkin, has an MBA. The others on the board and staff members try to silence her. The others would rather the board meetings be a meeting of cheerleading of the staff members instead of doing the real work and asking questions.

This never would have happened in the private sector. Just another reason to lower our taxes to keep regulators out of our life. The tide is rising.

Eagles Prevail Over Oklahoma State, 10-7
STILLWATER, Okla. - Zach Maxfield and Austin Gaines combined for seven RBI to lead the FGCU baseball team to a 10-7 victory over Oklahoma State on Wednesday night in Stillwater, Okla.
The Eagles improve to 15-9 on the season, while OSU drops to 15-7.
Jack Wagoner (Berlin, Conn.) earned the win for the Eagles. Wagoner (1-1) came in and threw one inning in relief. Richie Erath (West Palm Beach, Fla.) earned his first save of the season after throwing one inning and striking out two batters.
Patrick Nathanson (Maitland, Fla.) received his six start of the season. Nathanson (2-1) earned the no decision after throwing 5.2 innings and allowed five runs (five earned) on six hits, while striking out six Cowboys.
Trevor Walch received the loss for Oklahoma State. Walch (0-1) threw 2.1 innings, gave up three runs (three earned) on three hits.
Once again, FGCU took an early lead, scoring three runs in the first inning. Stephen Wickens (Whitby, Ontario) led off the inning with a double down the right field line. Later in the inning Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla.) reached on a walk and was followed by back-to-back singles by Tim Roberson (West Palm Beach, Fla.) and Zach Maxfield (North Port, Fla.). Maxfield's single brought in Wickens and Alvarez. Roberson later scored on a groundout by Austin Gaines (Dunedin, Fla.) to give the Eagles an early 3-0 lead.
Nathanson threw three scoreless innings until Oklahoma State got on the board in the fourth inning. A home run to right field by Mark Ginther cut the Eagles lead down to 3-1.
Two innings later, the Cowboys used a four-run inning to take the lead. Tom Belza led off the Cowboys sixth inning with a single to centerfield. After Nathanson retired the next Oklahoma State batter, Nico Rosthenhaus sent an RBI triple to the right center gap and later scored on a pass ball to even the score at three. Nathanson fanned the next hitter, but the Cowboys used a single by Luis Uribe, an RBI double by Kevin Chambers and an RBI single by Dusty Harvard to take the 5-3 lead.
After the Eagles three-run first, FGCU scattered only three hits before regaining a 6-5 lead in the top of the seventh. Alvarez singled to right field to start the inning, but the next two Eagle hitters were retired to bring up Gaines. Gaines sent a 1-2 pitch over the left field wall for his third home run of the season that tied the game at five. FGCU's final run in the inning came off the bat of Kurtis Mullaney (Jacksonville, Fla.), Mullaney singled through the right side and scored Pete Woodworth (St. Petersburg, Fla.), who entered as a pinch runner.
Oklahoma State threatened in the bottom of the seventh, putting runners on first and third with one out. FGCU reliever Jack Wagoner was able to pickoff Davis Duren at third and later get Rosthenhaus to pop out to third to end the Cowboys' threat.
In the top of the eighth, FGCU added four more runs to take a 10-5 lead. Roberson singled with one out, and Maxfield followed with a two-run home run. Gaines followed Maxfield's fourth home run of the season with a walk, and Luke Smierciak (Gainesville, Fla.) brought in Gaines with a triple to center field. Just one pitch later, Josh Chester (Westin, Fla.) singled up the middle to score Smierciak.
Oklahoma State would not go quietly as they scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth to cut the Eagles lead down to 10-7. Eric Walker's single to center field scored both Harvard and Chambers who each walked.
Four Eagles recorded multiple hits on the night, Maxfield led the way going 3-for-4 with four RBI. Alvarez went 2-for-5 with two runs scored, Roberson finished 2-for-6 with two runs scored and Mullaney went 2-for-5 with an RBI. Gaines drove in three RBI as he finished 1-for-4 with two runs scored.
FGCU returns to conference play on Friday, April 2 at 6:30 p.m. at Swanson Stadium against Mercer. The A-Sun match up concludes on Saturday with a doubleheader beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Disclaimer: Seagate sponsors my show. In a year I've done about 300 interviews and none have paid anything to get on my show other than Seagate, so can't say thank you enough to Seagate.
But here we have two videos. One where execs show off the new products they just announced in New York. But the second one is interesting. I sit down with Seagate's CEO and some of the top execs and we talk about what role solid-state memories will play in Seagate's future business. Why does that matter? Because Seagate is largely a hard-drive company today.
Now, are these advertisements? Yes. But they aren't ads like you'll see on mainstream TV, that's for sure.
Marketing through having conversations. Hey, sounds like a famous book I remember.

The sheriff's office, whose jurisdiction includes St. Petersburg and its suburbs, built its facial-recognition system over more than a decade, relying for most of that time on mug shots collected at prisons and police booking centers across the state.
The system now has partnerships with the sheriff's offices in more than half of Florida's counties and many other government agencies. This year the unit added the ability to search more than 20 million driver's-license records, bringing the number of facial images in the database to 30 million, official say.
The Pinellas County system also has access to 250,000 mug shots — though not driver's license images — from the Northern Virginia Regional Identification System, a joint project of Washington area jurisdictions, including some Maryland counties.
Pinellas Deputy Jeremy Dressback, a community policing officer, uses access from the laptop in his patrol car to keep track of the people he encounters on a dingy country stretch notorious for prostitution, drugs and seedy motels.
On a recent patrol, when a scruffy-looking man he did not recognize walked up to one of the motels, Dressback stopped him on suspicions of trespassing and asked for identification. The man did not have a driver's license but gave his name — James Shepherd, age 33, from Kentucky — and said he was staying at the motel with his girlfriend.
Dressback pulled out a digital camera, asked permission to take a picture and then snapped a shot. When the image did not match anyone in the facial-recognition system, Dressback downloaded the picture to his laptop computer and attached it to a field report on Shepherd as a "suspicious person."
Shepherd, who said he was a roofer returning from work, grumbled at the intrusion, even though he had agreed to have his picture taken. "I'm not a criminal, so there's really no reason for me to be in a criminal database," Shepherd said before adding, "But I have been arrested quite a few times."
When his girlfriend walked by moments later — they were indeed staying at the motel — Shepherd directed her toward their room.
"Get out of here," he said. "You'll be in his database in 10 seconds."

View of the Prins Hendrikkade and the Kromme Waal in Amsterdam, 1874
Claude Monet (1840-1926)
Monet painted the end of the Prins Hendrikkade in Amsterdam, then called the Kamperhoofd, from a boat on the IJ. To the left is the Kromme Waal, with the Waalseilandsgracht where boats could moor. Monet used small dabs of paint to represent the rippling water, in which the sky, the quay and the boats are reflected. The houses on the Kromme Waal form a grey skyline in the background. Monet depicted the buildings on the Kamperhoofd in greater detail.
However, this rapidly painted scene is not a realistic rendering of the location but an impression of light and atmosphere characteristic of the impressionist movement. Monet worked with loose brushstrokes and light colours, whose effect is mainly evident at a distance.
*Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam, acquired with the financial support of the BankGiro Lottery, the Stichting Nationaal Fonds Kunstbezit (with contributions from Philips Electronics, Shell, Unilever, ABN AMRO, ING, Fortis and Heineken), the Rembrandt Association, and the assistance of the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds and a donation from VNU, the Dutch Ministry of Education, Culture and Science, the Mondrian Foundation, the VSB Fonds and the Vincent van Gogh Foundation.

DENISON, TX - A 3 year old Denison girl died Thursday night, and police say the stories family members have given just aren't adding up.
Police say Wednesday night the little girl had to be rushed to TMC from a Denison neighborhood.
The next night, her injuries were so serious she had to be flown to Dallas Children's Hospital, where she later died.
As investigators try to figure out what really happened, neighbors are reeling from the news.
On Wednesday night a 3 year old girl who once lived on this street in Denison, was taken from her home in an ambulance, and never came back.
"I heard an ambulance come over in the neighborhood, and I didn't see what house it was but I knew something had happened because they were real quick to leave," said a neighbor.
Though police have not confirmed what house the girl lived in, they did say it was on Mundt Street, so we visited the area to hear what people had to say.
A lot of people around here say they heard sirens Wednesday night and some of the neighbors we talked to say they heard the little girl fell and hit her head.
They didn't want to go on camera, but told us the family has always been nice, quiet and kept to themselves.
But TMC staff called police Wednesday night because they said the stories they were being told by the girl's family members didn't make sense with her injuries.
"Just some of the things we're hearing and seeing just, just aren't adding up," said Denison Police Lieutenant, Mike Eppler.
On Thursday night the little girl had to be flown to the Dallas Children's Hospital for further treatment.
She died later that night, leaving police and the community with a lot of questions.
"I'm shocked that anybody would treat a child that way, there's lots of places you can take them and put them on a door step like a church," said a neighbor.
"It's still under investigation. We've talked to several people and we still have several more to talk to," said Lieutenant Eppler.
No arrests have been made and no charges have been filed.
At this point investigators say they're waiting for a report from the Dallas Medical Examiners Office.

Following the Patriots' 23-20 OT win over the Ravens, Baltimore LB Ray Lewis told the Baltimore Sun that his team would like another crack at New England, saying, "If we see them in the playoffs, we will be ready again."
Fellow LB Terrell Suggs, echoed the statements, letting reporters know that his shouting match with Tom Brady wasn't finished.
"(Brady) just better hope that he doesn't see us again," Suggs said.
On Monday, the All-Pro QB responded, telling a Boston radio station, "(Suggs) had his chance. Maybe if he gets another chance he can try to back those words up, but he had a chance yesterday. You know, we've played those guys a lot, and they've beat us one time in all the times that I've played them.
"They talk a lot for beating us once in nine years."
The way we see it
Brady's facts are correct. Since he became the team's starting QB in 2001, the Patriots have faced the Ravens five times, with New England holding a 4-1 record in those games. The only loss was in the wild-card round of last season's playoffs, which Baltimore won 33-14. Based on the way the two teams are playing this season, the possibility of a rematch in January 2011 is quite likely. If that happens, both teams' coaches should have plenty of bulletin-board material.

Maryville has beat out a number of applicants and has been chosen to host the Tennessee Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) rally in May of 2013.
Thousands of Harley-Davidson owners will come to Blount County for the week-long rally.
"The City of Maryville is thrilled to learn that we have been selected to host the 2013 Tennessee State H.O.G. Rally," said Maryville Mayor Tom Taylor. "Because 2013 will be the 110th anniversary of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles, this rally will attract thousands of visitors to our community to enjoy our natural attractions and support local businesses. In addition to the 2103 Tennessee State HOG Rally introducing a whole new group of guests to our city, these rallies typically generate $2.5 - 3.5 million in economic impact within the community. Maryville loves special events, and we look forward to hosting the 2013 Tennessee State HOG Rally for our community."
Bryan Daniels, president and CEO of the Blount Partnership, said an agreement was recently reached with the Tennessee State H.O.G. Rally, and he also predicted a beneficial economic impact for the entire Blount County community. He said that the event is scheduled for May 27 through June 2 and is expected to bring up to 6,000 bikers to the area.
"This is wonderful for our commercial businesses - the hotels, motels, restaurants and shops that will see an increase in revenues," Daniels said. "That leads to an increase in our sales tax revenue, and in these tough economic times, that's good news for all of us."
Daniels notes that the Blount Partnership is setting its sights on other events like this, which bring in dollars to the community without long-term demands on the community's infrastructure.
The Tennessee State H.O.G. Rally last visited Blount County in 2008 with event headquarters in Townsend. Scott Maddux, principal of Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson, said that the event is a great way to introduce motorcyclists to the area. "This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase Blount County and all the tourist opportunities we have in this market. We still see people coming back after visiting during the last rally that was held here," Maddux said.
Maddux and the team at Smoky Mountain Harley were instrumental in assisting with the proposal. He worked with a team of government and Blount Partnership officials to try to convince the H.O.G. leaders to return to Blount County.
"There are so many excellent rides in this area," Maddux said as he described the primary appeal that Blount County has to offer Harley Davidson owners, mentioning the Foothills Parkway, the Dragon (Hwy 129) and many other locales in the Smoky Mountains as prime examples.
Maddux said that other rides, such as the Cherohala Skyway and Blue Ridge Parkway, are within an hour's ride.
"Our vision is to create a memorable experience for our guests with our beautiful surroundings, unique skyways and highways, and Southern hospitality," Maddux added.
The weeklong event will feature bike shows, concerts, contests, special rides, vendor fairs and many other activities. Maddux says that details and locales will be planned over the next year to create a memorable experience for the H.O.G. members. This year's event was held in Jackson, and the 2012 event will visit Cookeville.
Ed Mitchell, Blount County mayor, commended the team that worked with the H.O.G. State Rally planners, which included the Blount Partnership, the county, and the cities of Maryville, and Alcoa.
"It's pretty amazing the number of people who come to these events and the amount of money they spend," Mitchell said. "Anytime we can bring an event to Blount County that draws 6,000 to 7,000 people, that's tremendous revenue. With tourism as one of our top industries, we look forward to their arrival and hope they fall in love with the area and come back like so many have in the past. I especially want to thank the Smoky Mountain Harley Davidson crew, Scott Maddux and his whole team, for being such a great asset to Blount County and for all that he has given back to this community. I've been very impressed and appreciative of everything Scott has done."

PHOENIX -- If it wasn't for the second deck at Chase Field, Brandon Allen's fifth-inning home run on Tuesday night might still be going.
"It was the farthest left-handed-hit home run I've seen here," right fielder Justin Upton said.
Upton was caught by cameras looking in amazement as the ball landed.
"Statistics say I hit a couple longer," Upton said. "I don't believe it."
Allen's homer carried an estimated 455 feet by ESPN Stats and Information.
"I guess it was a good shot," Allen said after Tuesday's loss. "I'll take it."
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson, who was known to hit a long home run or two back in his day, was as amazed as Upton with the home run.
"Oh, my gosh," he said. "How do they measure that?"
Putz nearing return from disabled list
PHOENIX -- D-backs closer J.J. Putz has only one more hurdle to clear before being activated from the disabled list.
"Personally, I'd like to see him pitch back-to-back [days]," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said. "I want to make sure. I don't want him to be available one day in the closer's role and not the other."
Putz pitched an inning of scoreless relief on Tuesday night in extended spring training, threw 17 pitches, induced three ground-ball outs and reported no discomfort on Wednesday.
"It went well," Putz said. "Everything feels good. I still think I need maybe one more outing in a competitive atmosphere."
Gibson said on Wednesday that he expects Putz to head to Triple-A Reno and pitch Friday and Saturday before the team makes a decision on when to bring him back.
"It depends on when I go back-to-back days," Putz said. "I figure if I pitch Friday and don't pitch Saturday, it's kind of pointless for one game then a day off.
"It's good to get out there that second day and see how everything feels," he continued. "Not so much how you feel that day, but after those two days."
Putz has 21 saves with a 3.12 ERA in 34 games this season. He has been sidelined since July 1 with a right elbow injury.
"Realistically, probably the beginning of the next road trip," he said.
Worth noting
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said the team wouldn't make a decision on how to fill the fifth spot in the rotation until Sunday.
He said Barry Enright, who was optioned to Triple-A Reno on Wednesday, will stay on schedule and didn't rule out the possibility of the right-hander making a second consecutive start.
Left-hander Zach Duke, on the possibility that he could return to the rotation, said, "I'm open to anything. If I continue to throw well out of this role and it helps the team win, then that's what it's all about. It's about winning games at this point, and if that's the role I can best help the team, I'm all for it."

With both defensive midfielder Luiz Gustavo and left back David Alaba suspended for the Champions League Final, an irregular starter for Bayern Munich could find a starting place. Croatian international Daniel Pranjic only has nine starts and 16 total appearances for Bayern this season, but due to his ability to play either central midfield or left back, Jupp Heynckes will be tempted to put him in the lineup.
The question is, where? Who does Heynckes have less faith in, Anatoliy Tymoshchuk or Diego Contento? Could he opt to start Pranjic in midfield just so he doesn't have to take Toni Kroos out of his preferred No. 10 spot? None of Bayern's options are idea with Luiz Gustavo and Alaba unavailable, but Pranjic's versatility means that Heynckes won't have to play a completely makeshift lineup.
Thomas Müller is one of the 11 best available players for Bayern, so it makes sense that they would rather move Kroos deep to fit him into the lineup, rather than starting Pranjic, but moving Kroos might alter the team significantly. Bayern Munich has struggled when Kroos plays deeper in midfield, alongside Bastian Schweinsteiger, and Pranjic could allow them to keep Kroos in his preferred place.
We'll have updates throughout the week in our 2012 UEFA Champions League Final StoryStream. For more on Bayern, head over to Bayern Munich blog Bavarian Football Works.

"We basically just come out here and just help the kids, we do homework with them. We make sure they do all their homework first," said Singleton.
"We play with them, we do all kinds of activities, organized activities but we also focus on their homework," added Wilson.
Saturday the Fever are holding a free event, Fever Fun Day, at the Southridge Sports Complex to raise money for their program.
"It's going to be a big deal at least we're hoping it is. We're just looking forward to getting out there and having the community just be a part of it," said Wilson.
"And it's something that I wanted to do for the community, kinda get the community involved and kinda see what were doing out here in the community," added Singleton.
Fever Fun Day runs from 10am to 2pm and will include tons of activities for the family, like a photo booth, autographs, and a football skills test.

Grading UM vs. FSU
By Jorge Milian
Saturday night was a step in the right direction, but there are still miles to go before the Hurricanes are ready to compete with the elite in college football.
OFFENSE: After scoring 44 points against North Carolina State, the Hurricanes have combined for 37 in their last three games. The running game generated a season-low 29 yards on 21 carries, the fourth time the Hurricanes have been held under 100 rushing yards this season. The passing game wasn't much better. After missing practice all of last week, Stephen Morris seemed out of rhythm with his receivers. In the first half, Morris completed only two passes to somebody other than a running back. Before UM's final offensive possession, no wide receiver had a catch for longer than 12 yards. Not sure if the left ankle was bothering Morris, but he was certainly not at his best. The offensive line had a miserable night – it allowed a season-high four sacks and produced few running lanes for the ground attack. The biggest worry coming out of Saturday night is the status of Duke Johnson, who left the game in the second half with a leg injury. Johnson is the UM's offense one true playmaker and without him, scoring points won't be easy. Not sure what happened to Phillip Dorsett after the North Carolina State game, but he's completely disappeared from UM's offense. In his last three games, Dorsett has combined for six receptions and only 54 yards. Like my mother always told me, don't say anything about UM's tight ends if you've got nothing good to say. GRADE: D.
DEFENSE: An improved effort, but it's pretty obvious that the best the Hurricanes' defense will provide this season is a few series or maybe a quarter of quality play. Needing a stop after UM cut FSU's lead to 16-13 late in the third quarter, the Hurricanes' defense wilted and allowed the Seminoles to score two touchdowns and a field goal on its next three possessions. Run defense continues to be a huge problem. Since holding Boston College to 96 rushing yards in the season opener, Miami has permitted its next seven opponents an average of more than 271 yards per game. That included 218 yards to FSU. This is no news flash but the interior of the Hurricanes' defensive line is basically non-existent. Offensive tackle Malcolm Bunche was credited with as many tackles (2) as starting defensive tackles Darius Smith and Olsen Pierre. With no ability to stop the run, opposing quarterbacks are free to pick apart UM with the pass as well. FSU's EJ Manuel didn't have a particularly good game on Saturday but still completed 21 of 31 passes for 229 yards without an interception. Manuel was sacked twice, but generally wasn't pestered much when he dropped back to throw. Pressure on opposing quarterbacks has been as rare this season as a solar eclipse. How bad has UM's defense been? With four regular-season games to go, the Hurricanes have permitted 3,993 yards of total offense which already the eighth-most given up in a season by Miami. It wasn't all bad for UM's D on Saturday. It did hold FSU to 16 points through three quarters and the Hurricanes' did receive some solid play, especially from linebacker Denzel Perryman and flashes from other players like Brandon McGee, Tyriq McCord, Tyrone Cornelius and Ladarius Gunter. But this defense is a long, long ways from being capable of winning games. GRADE: C.
SPECIAL TEAMS: The on-side kick to start the second half could have been a huge play, but the kick went out of bounds. Dalton Botts had another solid day. Botts might be the Hurricanes' most consistent player this season. Jake Wieclaw hit both of his field goal attempts. FSU's Dustin Hopkins had 7 touchbacks on 8 kickoffs, which is an excellent way to make Duke Johnson and Phillip Dorsett non-factors in the return game. GRADE: B.
COACHING: Al Golden clearly had his team ready to play early, but the guy can't block or tackle the Seminoles. I'm a big fan of offensive coordinator Jedd Fisch, but Saturday wasn't one of his better nights. The run-pass ratio was way out of whack, especially considering UM wasn't really forced to throw until later in the game when it was playing catch-up. A 3rd-and-2 pass from the FSU 10-yard line late in the third quarter (with UM down 16-10) still has me baffled, especially since the attempt was to the seldom-used Robert Lockhart. A better outing for Mark D'Onofrio's defense, but there's no escaping the fact he's showing up to a gun fight week after week brandishing a safety pin. GRADE: C.

A. Material
1. The material is sturdy, unlike the fragile stuff that one gets from retail shops.
2. The metal fins snugly fit into the charging socket. Do not disengage during bumpy rides.
B. Features:
1. The ball and socket swivel joint is very functional. Useful when shotgun / rear seat passengers need the charging port.
2. The indicator is not very bright but does well to indicate if power is on.
C. Looks:
1. Fits well along with the car's decor. But this is only from a beige i10 point of view.
D. Flipkart:
1. Awesome service. The tracking feature is very useful.
E. Verdict:
A Very... (Expand)
Perfect Charger for a car ... charging my Samsung galaxy s3 and Samsung galaxy note 2 simultaneously without any issues ... also able to charge ipod ..... very good build quality ... working without any issues ... best buy ....
With the number of gadgets one need to carry along on the go these days, a single cigarette lighter car point is pre-historically inadequate.
With your phone, gps, lap-top etc......even two might not be enough for many.
So till car manufacturers start keeping points for at-least three CL sockets you may want to use one of theses.
nice utility item
this is a good car charger for people who have 2 mobile phones to charge at the same time. the build quality is good, far better than those 100 rupee chargers you get from other online retailers. it has a small orange led light which indicates the power on status. both usb ports work well simultaneously and charging is fast. flipkart delivered it quickly and very nice packaging.

Allow imported prescription drugs
"Allow Americans to buy their medicines from other developed countries if the drugs are safe and prices are lower outside the U.S."
Subjects: Health Care, Trade
No new rules for drug imports in health care law
Updated: Thursday, April 8th, 2010 | By Louis Jacobson
During the presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to "allow Americans to buy their medicines from other developed countries if the drugs are safe and prices are lower outside the U.S." But such a provision was not included in the final health care law that passed both chambers of Congress and was signed by the president.
The motivation for the promise came from an existing trend of Americans crossing the Canadian border to buy cheaper prescription drugs. Yet for the most part, it remains illegal for Americans to buy prescription drugs there -- for safety reasons, the Food and Drug Administration says.
But in the wake of negotiations with the prescription drug industry -- one of the first big health industry players to support the White House's health care reform effort -- Obama's drug importation promise faded into the background. Now, with passage, it's officially off the table.
Instead, the drug industry will pay billions of dollars annually in new fees beginning in 2012, and brand-name drugmakers will provide a 50 percent discount on prescriptions filled through the Medicare Part D coverage gap beginning in 2011.
Such concessions will undoubtedly aid American consumers' pocketbooks -- perhaps even more than a new reimportation rule would have, though it's hard to know for sure. But the specific promise Obama made was not kept, so we rate this Promise Broken.

Political deal slows promise on purchasing imported drugs
Updated: Thursday, October 15th, 2009 | By Angie Drobnic Holan
With drug prices so high in the United States, many people have been crossing the border to buy cheaper prescription drugs in Canada. Yet, for the most part, it remains illegal for Americans to buy prescription drugs there. (The Food and Drug Administration says this is for safety reasons.) During the campaign, Barack Obama said he would work to allow imported prescription drugs. Now, however, Obama's promise is being slowed by a political deal involving his plan for health care reform.
The prescription drug industry was one of the first big players in the health industry to support President Obama's plans for health care reform. Drugmakers agreed to forgo $80 billion over 10 years as part of reform efforts to reduce costs.
As the negotiations in Congress over health care have progressed, though, it appears the White House will not push Obama's campaign promise to allow consumers to buy imported prescription drugs, nor another measure to allow Medicare to negotiate lower drug prices.
Billy Tauzin, a former congressman and now president of Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America, or PhRMA, has told several reporters that his group has an agreement that the White House would not support new rules to allow consumers to buy imported drugs. Reports from the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times and the Huffington Post have outlined the contours of the deal.
The White House has confirmed the $80 billion threshold and suggested that health reform would make the importation of drugs unnecessary .
Some members of Congress have said they do not feel bound by any deal the White House made, so this may not be the end of the story. Still, the Senate Finance Committee recently approved health legislation, and nothing in there allowed consumers to buy imported drugs. Given that committee action and the news reports on the matter, we rate this promise Stalled.

Norway, Maine — Benjamin Franklin Hull, III, of Norway, Maine, formerly of Rockport, died of liver disease on New Year's Eve at the Androscoggin Hospice House in Auburn, Maine. He was 71 years old.
Ben was born on March 26, 1941, in Gloucester, to the late Dorothy Ross Hull and Benjamin F. Hull, Jr. One of only two children, he leaves his sister, Kathryn Heinze, and her husband, Andrew, of Rockport; he also leaves two nieces, Julie Young, of Rockport, and Megan Cucitrone, of Providence, R.I.; and one nephew, Paul Heinze, of North Andover. Ben had four great-nephews and three great-nieces. He also leaves his very dear ex-wife, Anacleta Fitzgerald, of Norway, Maine, and many faithful tried and true friends.
After graduating from Rockport High School in 1959, Ben went on to study mathematics at Boston College, and graduated in 1963. He then spent 30 years programming computers in the Boston area. He started to build his cedar log cabin in Maine in 1973, and became a full time Maine resident in 1990.
Ben had a troubled adolescence, and battled emotional issues all his life. As a youth and as an adult, he "marched to a different drummer", and could be defiant and rebellious, but he was also kind, generous, and honest, and always stood on the side of what was right and just. For years, when he lived in Boston, he edited and distributed "The Boycott Gazette", a newsletter that warned consumers of companies that exploited others for profit.
An inveterate letter-writer, many of us are deeply saddened to think that we will never again find a letter from him in our mailbox. There was no mistaking his letters, with their distinctive hand-writing, and P.S.'s written helter-skelter on the back of the envelope.
Ben loved nature, was from his youth an avid and knowledgable birder, loved music of all kinds, loved people, loved his cat, and loved poetry. He wrote poetry all his life, and In 2010 he proudly published a book of poems entitled "Boston to Maine". All proceeds from its sale went to the Western Foothills Land Trust, to help acquire and preserve land in Maine. He was also an accomplished photographer, composed music, and played piano by ear.

No. 67 Miami Hands Men's Tennis 6-1 Loss
CORAL GABLES, Fla. – Coming off a 5-2 victory over FAU Friday night, the FGCU men's tennis team fell to No. 67 Miami, 6-1, on Saturday night in Coral Gables, Fla.
The Eagles fall to 5-6 while the Hurricanes improve to 9-4 on the season.
To start the match off, Miami scored an easy doubles win from the No. 2 doubles team Diego Soto and Gabriel Flores, who won 8-4 against sophomores Michael Beiler (Palm Harbor, Fla./Dunedin HS) and Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS-FL). That was followed by the No. 3 doubles team, Marco Stancati and Henrique Tsukamoto, dominating their match 8-1 against juniors Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS) and Lance Lvovsky (Dania, Fla./Broward Virtual School/Jacksonville).
Omar Aly scored Miami's first single's win at the no. 4 spot with a quick 6-2,6-4 outpacing of his opponent, senior Jackson Moore (Bradenton, Fla./Lakewood Ranch HS/Georgia State). Flores followed up for the Canes by scoring a 7-5,6-1 win over Bao. At this point, Miami was up 3-0, one point away from clinching victory, but all of their remaining matches were very close.
Sophomore Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada/USC) won the only point for FGCU when he defeated top-seeded Diego Soto in three sets, 5-7, 6-1, 6-3.
William Albanese ended the match with his win, which was followed up by victories from Wilfredo Gonzalez at the No. 3 singles spot, and Marco Stancati at the No. 5.

Rock Revival Charlotte Easy Boot Stretch Jean 7 7
Awesome Jeans! These are my favorite Rock Revival Jeans. The color and fading is just right and very flattering. The black sequins and black stone accents make these jeans look sexy hot! and my favorite part is the black patent leather patch. I got one size smaller due to the eased fit. April 16, 2012
Rocks I love rock revivals!! They always fit me perfectly! Just wished they had more mid rise in stores. August 31, 2013
Classy Denim! These Rock Revivals are the perfect jean for a night out. Love the black sequins, they provide just enough glitz without calling too much attention to your backside. And the shade of demin is perfect. They seem to fit snugger than some of my other Rocks so no need to order a smaller size. September 24, 2012
These will become your favorite jeans! These are hands down my favorite Rock Revivals and one of my favorite pairs of jeans overall! The color is fabulous and flattering, the fabric is very comfortable, and they have just the right amount of stretch! The pockets are fun and sparkly without being too over-the-top, which makes these jeans perfect for both casual and dressy wear! June 21, 2012
So worth it! I just bought these! They are beautiful! The pockets are so cute, but the denim is a bit lighter than the picture. May 18, 2012
