front-end loader
To All,
I'm looking for a front-end loader for my Cub. Any ideas?
Many Thanks
i think on mengers website they have a few complete loaders for sale about $2,500.00. good luck.
Kirk, I've never owned one myself, but I do know they are fairly expensive when you find one. Also that the cub front end isn't sturdy enough to do much work with one. There have been a lot of damged front castings from picking up loads with the loaders.

Billy and John,
Well, I'm glad I asked on the forum because due to the potential damage it can cause and the cost , I think I'll pass on the front-end loader.
They sure look neat on the Cub though, don't they?
Thanks for the advice, guys
I have a Wagner loader for my cub right now I don't have it on, I put it on when I need it but it really gets in the way when doing repairs on the tractor. It works great for pushing out the calf barn and it loads manure real well , but it isn't an excavator, it will move loose dirt etc but it is hard on the tractor. It does look really cool on the tractor, but it seems to take up twice as much room in the barn with the loader on.

Yep, that's what got me interested......the loader just looks really cool on the Cub. And yes, I could use it for light jobs. But from all I've heard, a loader may do some damage to the cub considering what I wanted to use it for. And the price is rather cost-prohibited for me, too. So I've decided to just enjoy lookin' at other peoples Cubs w/front-end loaders for now.
Thanks for your reply
Hi Kirk, My axle extensions have some really ugly scars on them from some welding repairs that were done to them. One thing I will also say is that after driving the tractor with the loader off for the first time it seemed like a sports car, compared to a motorhome with it on. For most of the year we have a 4X4 Kubota with a loader on it to use until it gets moved to my brothers place to do roto tilling and brush hogging, for a few months. I might put it back on for this spring though because my brother want's the Kuboot earlier this year while the calfs will probably still be in the barn and I don't like shoveling. From what I can tell you would do the most damage with the loader on and the bucket full and either getting one of the wheels in a hole or rut or just getting up against something because the front end does look awfully spindly with very little support underneath that loader frame. Tim Ps. they were cultivating tractor originally.

Good info. I know if I ever one across one I'll probably get it. The work I'd use it for would be light yard work.
I'm actually going over to a barn this afternoon that is supposed to have a non-running Cub in it along with implements. I'm not sure what I'll find.....or even if there is a Cub there or not. But I'm hoping for some implements.
Thx for your help,
I have a 65 cub with the IH 1000 loader on it. I have had it for 12 years now with no trouble. It gets used for moving dirt, sand, snow, stone/gravel and even moves the snowplows for the trucks with it. The plows are quite heavy to lift. but if you don't go nuts and know the ability of the machine you can do alot of work with it.
I'm feelin' better about the loader already, Bob. I have a 2 acre yard that I'm constantly working on as I enjoy it. I like to push dirt around and scoop up mulch etc. Sounds like fun to me.
Where would you recommend finding one?
Thanks Bob,
Kirk, It was by chance I found mine. I was looking a long time for one. The ones that I did find cost about $1800.00 and more back then> I got mine in good shape with a new 54A blade for $1000.00. It was 4 hours away in PA. I don't know where to look idown there. You can look at http://www.wengers.com they have them but alot of $$$. I spread about 30 yards of mulch a year with it. Good luck

Clovis Oncology: Pancreatic Cancer Drug Fails Late-Stage Test
BOULDER, Colo. (TheStreet) --Clovis Oncology (CLVS) is shutting down development of its experimental pancreatic cancer drug C0-101 following negative results from a late-stage study, the company said Monday.
Pancreatic cancer patients treated with CO-101 did not live any longer than patients treated with the chemotherapy drug gemcitabine. Median survival in each arm of the study was approximately six months.
"We are obviously disappointed with these results, which are unambiguous," said Clovis CEO Pat Mahaffy.
Clovis shares closed Friday at $21.49.[Celgene (CELG) reported Friday a positive survival benefit from a phase III study of its cancer drug Abraxane in pancreatic cancer.] Clovis' CO-101 is novel, lipid-conjugated form of gemcitabine developed to benefit pancreatic cancer patients with low levels of of a protein known as hENT1. Previous research suggested low hENT1 levels prevented ordinary gemcitabine from getting into pancreatic tumor cells. CO-101 was designed to enter pancreatic cancer cells independently of a patient's hENT1 status. Once inside the cell, CO-101 was converted to the active form of gemcitabine. But Monday, Clovis acknowledged that hENT1 status had no impact on survival for pancreatic cancer patients on gemcitabine. Clovis has two other cancer drugs in early stages of clinical studies. The company anticipates ending the year with approximately $140 million in cash. -- Reported by Adam Feuerstein in Boston. Follow @AdamFeuerstein

TV star's panto fun
2:00pm Thursday 9th January 2014 in News
BRITAIN'S Got Talent judge Amanda Holden didn't shy away from a little audience participation – joining in with the conga when she went to this year's Chippy panto.
The star, who bought a 17th Century cottage near the town last year, went to see Jack and the Giant just before Christmas.
Director John Terry said: "We were delighted to welcome Amanda and her family to the panto for the second year running.
"She's an astute judge of talent, so it was great to see her conga-ing along with everyone else in the audience."
Regular panto-goer David Cameron was unable to attend this year as he was visiting victims of the floods, but his family still went along.
Jack and the Giant runs at The Theatre in Chipping Norton until Sunday.

Tuesday governor Pat McCrory announced that the Pactiv company will expand manufacturing facilities in our state.
The expansion in Lenoir and Iredell counties will create 77 jobs and invest more than $9 million in Kinston and Mooresville.
Pactiv makes food packaging. They currently employ over 850 people in North Carolina.
"Manufacturers like Pactiv recognize that our state's workforce is second to none," said Governor McCrory. "We must continue to support education and job training programs that will help companies produce more goods with the 'Made in North Carolina' logo."
The Governor's office tells 9 On Your Side that salaries will vary by job function, but the average annual payroll for the new jobs in Kinston and Mooresville will be in excess of $2.5 million.
"I am proud that Pactiv has chosen to expand in Lenoir County," said Rep. John Bell. "This is a significant step in our efforts to bring manufacturing jobs back to Eastern North Carolina and improve the state's economy."

NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has filed a $40 million lawsuit against real estate mogul Donald Trump over what Schneiderman calls a phony "Trump University" that promised to make students rich.
Trump has refuted the fraud claim about the university he founded.
"It's a very straight forward fraud case. You're not allowed to make false representations to induce people to pay for your classes and then not deliver on those classes," said Schneiderman.
Trump has said Schneiderman is "a political hack" and is "just trying to get publicity."
"People thought they were going to meet Donald Trump and what they got was a cut out of him. It was a bait and switch," said Schneiderman.
Trump has said the majority of students were satisfied with their education at Trump University.
"A lot of the money went into his pocket. We want to get the money back for the students," said Schneiderman.

With his family "tugging" on him to play, Brett Favre has an "itch" to come out of retirement and report to training camp with the Green Bay Packers later this month, according to sources close to the team and player.
Favre has communicated his potential desire to coach Mike McCarthy but talks have not advanced to a substantive stage, a Packers source said.
The source said the Packers would be reluctant to open the door for Favre because "Brett retired for the right reasons, even though I know his family is tugging on him [to play]."
Another source conceded Favre was "getting the itch" to play football in 2008.
However, Favre's agent downplayed the likelihood that the quarterback could un-retire or that he was prepared to report to camp July 28.
"As far as I know, right now, Brett Favre is retired and until he tells me something different, that's what it is," James "Bus" Cook, Favre's agent, said.
Favre was unavailable for comment. A Packers spokesman said that McCarthy and general manager Ted Thompson were on vacation.
Favre has two years remaining on his contract at an average of about $12.5 million per season. His salary is not currently counting toward the salary cap because the Packers placed him on the reserve-retired list.
If Favre decides that he absolutely wants to play this season, the Packers could be confronted with a sensitive issue. The entire offseason has been spent preparing Aaron Rodgers to play quarterback to the point where "the offensive scheme has evolved" and, psychologically, closing the door on Favre's legendary 17-year career.
If the Packers resist a stronger push by Favre to return, sources speculate that the quarterback could press the team to release him from his contract so that he could seek a job with another team. A league official said that Favre could force a decision by asking the Packers, in writing, to reinstate him to active status. The team would have to comply or release him.
"That's speculation and I wouldn't go there," a team source said. "We value Brett's legacy, we think he values it, and we'd want to protect that. Brett's a high-quality person and he's not going to push it that far. He'll do the right thing [and stay retired]. This was almost predictable, the idea that Brett would get the itch to play as we get closer to the season."
In an interview done with ESPN around the time Favre retired in early March, McCarthy predicted Favre "will have an itch to come back. I saw Joe Montana go through it, even though I was a younger coach in Kansas City at the time."
McCarthy said it was Favre who convinced the coach that retirement was the "right thing to do."
"I tried to talk him out of retirement," McCarthy said back in March. "Tom Clements [Green Bay's quarterbacks coach] and I were trying to sell him on the concept that he could still play at a high level with 80 to 85 percent of the commitment he had last year. Brett thought that maybe he could do it but he reasoned that when you cut back the commitment, you open yourself up to injury, to not being on top of your game -- which was very important to Brett -- and letting the team down in the process.
"Really, what Brett did was very honorable because the stress and pressure he feels is a direct result of the standard he sets for himself."

It was all over facebook last night that some idiot petrol bombed this store "for a bet" and was arrested shortly afterwards. If true I hope he is convicted of arson and endangering life and is locked up for a long time!

Top 5 Ways to Flunk the GMAT
February 16, 2011 | Posted By: Brandon Wu
The best ways to perform badly on your GMAT. Follow each to the letter and you'll be sure to flunk terribly well!
1. Get Yourself Really Stressed Out.In order to really hinder your ability to learn new information and memorize GMAT concepts, be sure to get stressed out to the max. Put yourself under a lot of pressure and resist taking breaks or coming up for air while studying. This will ensure that you cant sleep, get plenty headaches, become constipated and incredibly irritable. Plus, being stressed means that you might not need food, because stress inhibits your appetite. So you can save some money and time cooking, and spend more time studying off an empty tank!
OR, you could...Manage your stress levels sensibly. Stress is what got you this far, it pushed you into studying and taking the test. But when stress gets too much, your studies and performance will suffer. As soon as you think your stress levels are getting too high, be sure to take a break -change up your environment, laugh (with an old friend or at a funny movie), get some fresh air and remind yourself that its not the end of the world. (And there are always GMAT retakes!)
Your memory, understanding and performance will all thank you for it.
2. Go with what Sounds Natural on the Verbal Section.Hey, I dont care what the GMAT takers say, Im a native English speaker and I know what sounds natural!
OR, you could...
Learn what the test takers consider to be correct.
GMAT grammar follows the rules of Standard English - those rules that should be followed but in everyday life tend not to be. This is why this section is difficult for non-native speakers and native speakers alike. Sometimes the correct answer just doesn't sound natural. Just for this period of your life, learn what is GMAT correct, even if it doesnt seem to be common sense correct to you. Whatever the GMAT testers say goes, Im afraid. They are the boss here.
3. Be Sure to Blow your Timing! Spend loads of time on the problems that you cant solve. This way you will never get to the ones that you can solve, but you might, might just be able to crack the most difficult ones, eventually. Yay!
Or you could...
Be vigilant with your time management. Did you know that some of the questions on the GMAT are experimental and wont actually count towards your score? This is just one reason why there is no point spending too long on the harder questions. The other reason is that you will answer fewer questions and you wont be able to get as far with the test, nor get points for the questions that you can solve. Stick to strict time constraints and your score will be much improved as a result.
4. Protect Your Ego At all Costs.Dont hurt your pride - stick with a question until youve solved it.You dont want to admit that you cant do it, so keep trying it until you work out the answer! Yes, even if it takes 20 minutes. Youll feel good at the end of it.
OR you could..
Let it go and move on. It can be uncomfortable for some people to accept, but you have to guess aggressively on the GMAT. Just accept that you cant solve it (in a reasonable amount of time) guess, and move on. Do not let your pride get in the way, and accept defeat graciously. Focus on how you (and your ego) will feel when you get a 780 vs 500!
5. Dont Prepare Physically for the Test.
Study the night before until super late, get a terrible nights sleep, skip breakfast and have 3 cups of coffee instead. Youll be nice and hungry, jittery and uncomfortable, and wont be able to focus. Perfect conditions for flunking the GMAT!
OR you could..
Walk into the test center feeling well-rested, well hydrated and with plenty of time to spare until the test. Get your 6-8 hours sleep if possible. Be sure not to head to bed too early, instead hit the sack when you feel sleepy. This will help you avoid tossing and turning all night. Leave enough time to have breakfast, a drink and use the bathroom is poss. Take a brisk walk and give yourself a pep talk!
Have directions to the test center printed out, research the parking situation (some public parking garages dont open until 8am - dont get caught out!), have change for parking meter, gas in your tank, or bus/ train timetables worked out. Having someone reliable take you in if possible may help settle your nerves.
And if you enjoy a cup of coffee... caffeine is known to increase short term recall and boost performance on mental tests. It can boost your memory and reasoning, and hence your test performance. So feel free to have a cup before the test, just dont go overboard!

Newsletter January 1993, part 2.
Research. SSS initiates major research project.For the first time in several decades, the Society is organising an extensive research project into the use of alternative orthographies in teaching.
Members will recall that Dr Gwenllian Thorstad, an expert educational psychologist, joined the Committee as Research Adviser at the last AGM. Since then she has led a Research Subcommittee in developing ideas for an extensive project.
The plan focusses on using an initial teaching orthography (ITO) for remedial teaching of literacy in secondary schools. It will involve a full-time teacher-researcher working with a large sample of children over two years, and then spending a further year analysing and documenting the findings.
A suitable school for the experiment has been identified in London and it is enthusiastic to participate. Discussions are active now on two further aspects:
It is a precondition that the experiment will use the ITO for a limited period, probably one year, with each child, who will then "convert back" to traditional orthography. ITOs are therefore being examined that offer a compromise between regularity of sound-spelling correspondence and compatibility with TO.
- identification of a suitable researcher, expected to be a post-graduate student working for a PhD in educational psychology;
- a suitable ITO.
The Society will organise and co-ordinate the project, and publish its findings. But it is not expecting to fund the effort alone. We will over the next few months be seeking the bulk of the funds from educational charities, and from individuals who want to help, of course. Our target is to start the project in January 1994.
Personal View.Bob Brown explains.
Enclosed with this Newsletter members should receive the first three issues of a new series of Society publications called Personal View. The series has been established primarily for members to address other members - as a kind of "soap-box" from which to try out new ideas, or to publish views in a less formal way than in the Journal. There will be three or four titles a year if demand for them is sustained.
Issues of Personal View will be kept in print as standing publications,, when appropriate. Some are expected to be useful in responding to enquirers. For example, No. 1 will have such a role in dealing with my correspondents who ask about the link between spelling and literacy, or how reform could be achieved.
To summarise, the first three issues are:
1. Literacy and the way we spell English (Bob Brown).
This explains the probable link between traditional spelling and poor literacy levels in our working population. It also considers the practical aspects of introducing revised spellings.
2. Yurospel (Paul Fletcher).
Presents a digraphic spelling system based on a more international use of the letters than New Spelling.
3. System 2 (Sinclair Eustace) Belatedly presents a spelling system devised within the Society in the 70s. It is basically digraphic but involves one extra letter for schwa.
No. 4 is already in production. In it Ron Footer explains some suggestions for further development of New Spelling.
Members with ideas for Personal Views should contact me, preferably before writing an article. Further copies of Nos. 1-3 are available at 50p ($l) each, including postage.
Professor David Abercrombie died on July 4, 1992 aged 82.David Abercrombie was Emeritus Professor of Phonetics at the University of Edinburgh, and a Vice-President of the Simplified Spelling Society. His interest in the work of the Society dates from the early 1930s, when he was a postgraduate student of phonetics under Daniel Jones and J R Firth at University College London.
The next 15 years after that found him lecturing (briefly) at the London School of Economics in English, and then with the British Council in Greece and Egypt where he spent the Second World War. He returned to the LSE after the war, before moving to Edinburgh in 1948 to found a phonetics department. Over the next 15 years the unit grew under Abercrombie's direction to a strength of ten members. He was appointed full professor in 1964.
Abercrombie's single most influential book is probably Elements of General Phonetics (1967). Other academic interests included the study of early writings on English phonetics, not just in an antiquarian sense but concerned to demonstrate the value of earlier traditions and evoke new interest in them. His paper Extending the Roman alphabet: some orthographic experiments of the past four centuries* is particularly relevant for members and is built on his strong interest in writing systems for English.
David Abercrombie leaves a wife, Mary, to whom the Society expressed its condolences immediately on hearing the sad news.
* In Asher, RE & Henderson, JA (eds.) Towards a History of Phonetics, Edinburgh Univ. Press 1980
In brief.
Members are reminded that subscriptions are now due for 1993, unless recently paid or pre-paid last year. The rate remains at £10 or $20, net of transfer charges if from overseas. Please send your remittance to the Secretary. A few recipients of this Newsletter (who will find a separate note enclosed) still have not paid their dues for 1992. This is a last warning. You will be deleted from the membership if we have not heard from you by the end of March.
Two of the new letter forms
developed for Robert Bridges' Collected Essays published in a phonetic augmented alphabet c. 1930. David Abercrombie undertook the phonetic transcription for the edition.
Harry Lindgren.
It is with sadness that we have to report another death. Doug Everingham recently notified us that Harry Lindgren - the doyen of Australian spelling reformers - and his wife both passed away last year. Messages of condolence can be sent to their daughter: Judy Lindgren.
We still have a reasonable stock of Harry's lively book if any members would like one (£1 towards postage please).
Sunday Times.
Chris Upward has been invited to write a substantial 3,000-word article on spelling for publication as part of a series on language issues being planned for the newspaper. We have no information on likely publication date yet, but watch out for it.
Arnold Rupert.
The veteran (though young-in-heart) Canadian campaigner has kindly made available copies of two booklets describing his augmented alphabet approach to spelling reform. Please write to the Secretary if you would like copies, in return for postage/donation of £1.
When time permits, I will produce a consolidated list of available publications and back-issues soon and send to all members.
Mostly for amusement.The following exchange of correspondence was noticed in the pages of The Economist (October 7 and 21, 1989), triggered by reports of French spelling reform. It is presented mostly for amusement, but does anyone know Mr Starmer? We should invite him to join - I think!
Phonetic English.
Sir - If French needs a phonetic alphabet, English needs one even more so. According to my calculations, there are only about 1,000 words that are phonetic in that they are spelled as they are pronounced, and vice versa. The rest are a horrible concoction that have to be learned individually. How else do we know that anger does not rhyme with danger, how with show, have with shave? How else can we make sense of "A rough, dough-faced ploughman thoughtfully strode coughing and hiccoughing through the streets of Scarborough"?
Various people, notably George Bernard Shaw, have proposed phonetic alphabets. The problem with these is that they are based on symbols which are not available on a present-day typewriter or word-processor.
My solution, published in 1976 and called Starfon, is based on the existing alphabet, with the convention that the vowels a, e, i, o, and u are restricted to their short forms, as in pat, pet, pit, pot and put. G and y are pronounced only as in get and yet, respectively. A distinction is made between "the" in thin (symbol x) and "th" in then (symbol &), while "ch" is replaced by c and "sh" by $. The long vowels are represented by q and the numerals 2 to 9, so that boat becomes bqt, boot b2t, beet b3t, bought b4t, bite b5t, Bert B6t, bout b7t, bait b8t and Bart B9t. "76 trombones" are differentiated from "76 (our) trombones" by underlining the numbers.
Philip Starmer, Ohio.

Margaret Joachim, London PS - Have you tried typing this stuff?
Oxford Companion to the English Language.This 1,200-page volume - remarkably good value at £25 for language-lovers - contains masses of fascinating information on every aspect of English: its world-wide variations, its history, its grammar, the personalities and organisations that have affected it. It also deals not least with its spelling.
It includes substantial articles on the SSS, spelling reform, Cut Spelng, and a catalogue of the ways in which each letter of the alphabet is variously used in English. The most complex letter, by the way, turns out not to be E, as most people expect, but O. It requires almost three densely-printed pages to describe.
While the book is neutral on the pro- and anti-reform arguments, it at least does the cause of reform justice, and contains much ammunition for our campaigns.
Chris Upward contributed many of the spelling-related articles.

Idaho authorities are on the lookout for a Montana man who is accused of rape in Mineral County.
Shoshone County Sheriff's officials said they're searching for William Riley Baldwin, age 37, who's currently on probation in Missoula County.
Deputies attempted to stop a vehicle they believed was Baldwin's, but the driver fled the scene on foot and was never identified.
Montana Department of Corrections information shows Baldwin's criminal history includes burglary and "accountability for operation of a clandestine lab."
Baldwin is described as 5'9" tall, 200 lbs, with hazel eyes.
He has tattoos on his upper arms and scars on his hands.
If you see Baldwin, report his location to the Shoshone County Sheriff's Office at 208-556-1114.
Sheriff's officials say there is currently no warrant out for Baldwin's arrest, but charges may be filed in Mineral County.


text: OMAK, Wash. (AP) - Temperatures in the 30s overnight cooled down a wildfire burning near Shelton. Department of Natural Resources spokeswoman Sarah Foster says the fire remains at 150 acres Friday morning and 100 firefighters who worked through the night have it 30 percent contained. Residents of about a dozen homes who evacuated have been allowed to return. The fire threatened about 100 structures after it took off Thursday afternoon in gusty winds. Calmer weather is forecast Friday in the Shelton area with a high near 70 but still dry. Foster says a state team is taking over management of the fire with at least 200 firefighters and support resources.(Copyright 2012 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

Kokanovic Earns Second Straight A-Sun Player of the Week Award
MACON, Ga. – A week after posting consecutive double-doubles en route to her first career Player of the Week honor, Florida Gulf Coast's Ana Kokanovic notched the school's first-ever triple-double and set a new conference record with 11 service aces in a 3-1 victory over defending regular season champion ETSU, becoming the first back-to-back weekly honoree in the Atlantic Sun since 2005.
The junior outside hitter powered the Eagles to a perfect week, moving back into first place in the conference standings with a pair of wins over USC Upstate and ETSU. The marketing major tallied 37 kills for the week, averaging 5.3 per game and hit a stratospheric .464 against her two opponents. She capped the weekend with 21 kills, 15 digs and 11 service aces against ETSU Saturday evening. Florida Gulf Coast owns victories over the defending regular season champion and the reigning tournament champion (Belmont) in the past two weeks. The Lasarevac, Serbia native wins the honor in back-to-back weeks, becoming the first to do so since Florida Atlantic's Kelly Paiva won consecutive honors in October, 2005.
The Atlantic Sun Conference is a 12-member league committed to Building Winners for Life, with a focus on academic and athletic integrity and a balance between the two for the student-athlete, and maintaining a high level of sportsmanship. Headquartered in Macon, Ga., the A-Sun encompasses six of the top eight media markets in the Southeast. The A-Sun consists of some of the most dynamic private and public institutions in the region: Belmont University, Campbell University, East Tennessee State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, Gardner-Webb University, Jacksonville University, Kennesaw State University, Lipscomb University, Mercer University, University of North Florida, University of South Carolina Upstate and Stetson University.
Other Top Performers
Melissa Merchant, Jacksonville (Sr. – MB – Oakley, Calif. – Business) – Finished the week with 26 kills and 11 blocks, including 14 kills against Belmont Friday night.
Sarah Snider, Lipscomb (Jr. - OH – Oswego, Ill. – Social Work) – Tallied an impressive 71 kills in three matches, helping the Bisons knock Jacksonville from its first-place perch on Saturday.
Jen Darty, Mercer (So. - MB – Orlando, Fla. – Undeclared) – Notched 35 kills in 10 games for the week, helped Mercer extend conference winning streak to four with 15 kills over the weekend.

Brandon Jacobs is now the Giants' starting running back, but he is a little lighter in the wallet after the NFL fined him $20,000 for "unsportsmanlike conduct toward fans."
According to the Newark (NJ) Star-Ledger, Jacobs had a pregame incident with fans last week at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. An NFL spokesperson said that, "Jacobs was observed by an NFL security representative making obscene gestures and yelling obscenities toward fans in the stands."
This is the second fine this season for Jacobs, who was docked $10,000 after a Week Two incident where he threw his helmet into the stands after being taken out of the game.

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Since their October and November installations, the three giant wind turbines turning daily in Blackburn Industrial Park have become a familiar part of the Gloucester landscape.
Thursday night, the city's Sawyer Free Library and the Gloucester Lyceum will host a workshop that aims to tell "everything you wanted to know and now can" about the turbines, how they work, and what they mean to Gloucester, its residents and the businesses that are utilizing them.
The presentation, called "Wind Turbines 101," is set for Thursday at 7 p.m. on the library's main floor, with discussion and a question-and-answer session.
The panel, to be moderated by Gloucester Ward 1 City Councilor Paul McGeary, will include Mayor Carolyn Kirk, Rick Johnson, the facilites manager at Varian/Applied Materials and the Varian turbine project manager, Tim Michelman of Boreal, who will present turbine study highlights, and Sumul Shah, the CEO of Sloaya Energy, who will discus turbine construction and operation.
The Gloucester turbines include one that operates solely for Varian Semiconductors/Applied Materials and two others on the Gloucester Engineering site.
One of the turbines on the Gloucester Engineering also produces power shared by the city of Gloucester, with a savings projected at more than $200,000 for the current fiscal year that ends in January, and of more than $400,000 on an annual basis.

PSYC 391: Practicum is an experiential learning opportunity for students interested in a hands-on placement in an agency or setting involved in human service work. It allows students to see how the knowledge, methods and models they have been studying in the classroom apply in real life situations. Such practical experience is especially valuable both for students who intend to seek employment in a human service area and for those considering graduate school in clinical or counseling psychology, social work, addictions counseling and similar helping professions.
Requirements for Practicum students:
- A sufficient background in psychology (normally a junior or senior).
- Develop a list of practicum objectives, in conjunction with the Psychology department practicum supervisor (currently Dr. Casey Trainor).
- Be accepted for placement by the practicum supervisor and an approved agency.
- Participate fully in the practicum; fulfill agreed upon responsibilities in a professional manner; establish and maintain a work schedule with the agency.
- Keep a daily journal, reviewed weekly (more often during J-term or summer) by practicum supervisor, of what they have seen, done, learned, liked and disliked.
- Meet periodically as necessary with the Psychology department practicum supervisor.
- Write a five-page paper summarizing the practicum experience.
- Request their in-agency supervisor(s) to complete an evaluation form provided by the Psychology department practicum supervisor.
Practicums may be taken for 2, 3 or 4 credits. Each credit hour requires 40 hours of in-agency time under the supervision of agency staff. A typical 3-credit practicum requires 120 hours of time in-agency (approximately 9-10 hours per week in a semester or 30+ hours per week in J-term). Practicum schedule will be arranged in conjunction with the practicum agency based on students' schedules and the program of the agency.
Some agencies require fingerprint background checks and/or certification of immunization record. Expenses, if any, are paid by the student.
Students who have specific names of appropriate agency personnel outside of Sioux Falls may request the Psychology department practicum supervisor contact them and attempt to establish a practicum for the student (normally during the summer). Some local agencies which have accepted practicum students include:
- Augustana College – Human Resources Office, Student Services, others as available
- Avera Behavioral Heath Center – short term, hospital treatment programs, all ages
- Children's Home Society – residential treatment center for children
- Compass Center – sexual and domestic violence programs
- Help!Line Center – volunteer telephone information and crisis (suicide) help line
- Keystone (Canton, SD) – adolescent addictions programs
- Sioux Falls School System – Occupational Therapy Services
- Summit Oaks Center – residential treatment center for adolescents
- Minnehaha County Human Services – work with indigent, homeless and/or addicted population
- VA Hospital, Psychology Service – veterans with various disorders, depending on particular unit
- Volunteers of America – various programs with adolescents, young moms (addictions involved)
The current practicum coordinator is Dr. Casey Trainor.

Incoming Ford School BA student Stephanie Parrish selected to visit Kenya as part of the ONE Campus Challenge
Thursday, May 14, 2009
Stephanie Parrish (BA '11) was one of just five American college students selected to travel to Kenya with ONE, a nonpartisan, grassroots campaign and advocacy organization committed to the fight against extreme poverty and preventable disease, particularly in Africa. Parrish is the University of Michigan's designated leader for the ONE Campus Challenge, through which ONE works to build mobilization and advocacy skills on college campuses. She was selected for the Kenya trip after a rigorous application process. ONE intends for the trip to Kenya to show Parrish and other winners how "their... work in the United States translates to real, positive change on the ground in Africa." Parrish is headed into her junior year at the U-M and will start the Ford School's two-year Bachelor of Arts in Public Policy program in the fall.

Men's Tennis Falls to UCF, 6-1
ORLANDO, Fla. - The FGCU men's tennis dropped to 0-2 on the young season with a 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Central Florida Knights on Saturday.

Bacon played a strong match against Tarek Ben Soltane at the #2 singles slot, but came up short, losing 6-4, 7-6 (7-3).
The Eagles will be off for a couple weeks before they hit the court again, taking on Florida A&M in Tallahassee on Saturday, February 7th, at 10:00 AM. The Eagles will be back at home on Friday, February 20th at 2:00 PM, when they will host Florida Atlantic.

Our Mission
To consider the customer first in everything we do.
About Fanatics, Inc.
Fanatics is a leading online retailer of officially licensed sports merchandise and provides the ultimate shopping experience to sports fans. As a Top 50 Internet Retailer Company, Fanatics comprises the broadest online assortment offering hundreds of thousands of officially licensed items via its Fanatics and FansEdge brands. In addition, the Company powers the e-commerce sites of all major professional sports leagues (NFL, MLB, NBA, NHL, NASCAR, PGA), major media brands (NBC Sports, CBS Sports, FOX Sports) and over 200 collegiate and professional team properties.
Our Beginning
When it was announced the Jaguars would plant roots in Jacksonville, Florida, two football loving, anxious brothers got together and opened Fanatics in 1995 as a retail shop out of a small room in the back of a mall. Although Jaguars gear was selling very well, the brothers recognized there was an even greater need for displaced fans around the world to buy merchandise to support their favorite teams. Thus, we made our first online retail sale in 1997. Business got crazy after that and with the boom of the e-commerce era, the brothers realized they needed to shift focus to online and hired help for the retail stores. (Running through the mall with merchandise in a shopping cart in order to quickly ship to customers just wasn't cutting it!)
Today, those two founding brothers still work in our headquarters which is located in Jacksonville, Florida, and there are now retail stores in malls, along with fulfillment centers for online business.
Why Shop With Us?
At Fanatics we measure our business success in personal relationships, not transactions. We pride ourselves on offering not only the largest selection of top quality products from the best brands, but also the best customer service experience, shipping and return policies in the industry.

We're shoppers too and dedicated to delivering to our customers the kind of shopping experience we would want to have. If your expectations are not exceeded and if you don't look forward to coming back, then we haven't done our job!

The WAH! Nails Book of Nail Art is the latest installment in WAH! owner Sharmadean Reid's latest world takeover plan – one expert manicure at a time. With their idiosyncratic take on nail art – a little bit ghetto, a little bit tongue-in-cheek and with a helluva lot of pop culture references – WAH! has captured the hipster fangirl zeitgeist that exists somewhere between Kim Deal and Kim Kardashian.
Full disclosure: I'm a big fan of WAH! but have yet to get a famous manicure. But I already love their creations, so it seemed to be that giving this book a rave review would be a total no brainer.
And it's a lovely book – it's not just filled with tutorials but pictures and excepts and even a page to colour in your own designs – AND a page filled with stickers. It's the book with everything. In as far as it captures the spirit of WAH!, it's done an excellent job. Once you finish reading the book, which contains twenty-five different tutorials, you feel a bit like you're part of their gang, arseing around Dalston all creative with perfect shiny candy-coloured hair and never-chip nail polish.
So, how do the tutorials shape up? I called in my resident nail-art expert Collette to try the De Stijl manicure. Each tutorial is cleanly laid out, step by step, with both pictures and words. There's something for everyone here – as a total novice I wasn't up to painting Sailor Joe letters on my nails but I did manage a fairly nifty Smash Up manicure, which ended up looking a little bit like lava (but in a good way). You don't need much in the way of tools to do your manicures. If you're missing something it's easy to improvise – we didn't have a black nail art pen so we used liquid eyeliner instead. This is nails for everyone – now if only the book could teach me how to develop a steady hand…
Ta Da! Collette's De Stijl nails – something Mondrian could be proud of.
If you want to try before you buy, you can find two tutorials from the book right here.
The WAH! Nails Book of Nail Art is by Sharmadean Read and published by Hardie Grant Books. Out now.

Our development team have worked incredibly hard year-round and this will be their first break in a long time. For most of them, this is the only time they get to travel to see their families or not have to worry about the constant challenges we throw at them at work. Grinding Gear Games is not going to ask them to cancel their holidays. Instead, they'll come back well-rested and just as eager as you to launch Open Beta.
The other advantage of the extra time is that Jonathan, Erik and I will do extra polishing and testing before the influx of Open Beta players. Between now and January, our Alpha testers will push the 0.10.0 patch to its limits. Their feedback is critical to making sure that the new content is ready for public consumption.

Case No: SC 01-1095
November 12, 2002
(This document has been reformatted for the Internet)
The Sixteenth Statewide Grand Jury of Florida was impaneled on July 17, 2001, and was seated in the Ninth Judicial Circuit: Orange County. The panel was drawn from around the State. The Grand Jury met on sixteen occasions to investigate allegations of multi-circuit, organized criminal activity. The Grand Jury's original term expired after twelve months, but was extended to December 17, 2002. The Grand Jury is adjourning early, subject to recall, if necessary.
The purpose of this report is to record for posterity the work of this Grand Jury, with the hope that its collective voice will be heard and that the citizens of this State will benefit from its efforts.
Since July of 2001 we have received testimony regarding investigations into driver license fraud, identity theft, and a first degree murder. As a result, we issued 19 indictments charging 89 defendants with a total of 906 counts. The indictments allege the following criminal offenses: Racketeering; Conspiracy to Commit Racketeering; Organized Fraud; Grand Theft; Money Laundering; Criminal Use of Personal Identifying Information; Criminal Possession of a Scanning Device; Offense Against Intellectual Property; Forgery; Insurance Fraud; Driver License Fraud; and First Degree Murder.
We issued two reports during our term:
(1) Identity Theft in Florida: First Interim Report
(2) Identity Theft in Florida: Second Interim Report
Our First Interim Report was released in January of this year. That report focused on the Identity theft, but more narrowly on the source of the personal identifying information used by the identity thief and the security of the Florida Driver License.
Numerous recommendations were directed to the 2002 Legislature. We are gratified that the Legislature implemented most of our recommendations for reform.
In November of this year we issued our second report which detailed the nature and extent of the fraud committed by identity thieves once they are in possession of the personal identifying information of another. The Second Interim Report also contains various recommendations including legislative proposals. We have asked our legal advisers to present our proposals to the 2003 Legislature, the Executive branch, and industry representatives. We hope our findings and recommendations on these topics will result in positive benefits for the State.
We are extremely gratified by the tremendous progress being made in the area of driver license security and integrity. A driver license that easily and reliably identifies its holder has been singled out as the most important deterrent to ID theft and all the problems it causes. Since our first report, we have learned that a great many of our recommendations related to the driver license issuance process are being adopted. The efforts to verify and cross-reference documentation presented by applicants, the move toward increased sharing of information, real-time, both across the state and eventually across the nation, and the introduction of a more secure physical driver license card will go a long way to make the Florida driver license the trusted form of identification that it needs to be.
There are a few areas that unfortunately continue to be stumbling blocks to reaching the goals we so desperately must achieve. These include: the purging of the "old style" driver license cards from circulation; the source of funding for the new driver license; the increased presence of law enforcement in and around driver license offices; and the tightening of regulations regarding commercial driving schools.
Enhanced Security Driver License Cards
We have received information on the new high security driver license proposed for Florida and are very pleased with the speed that the recommendations from our first report are being turned into reality. Unfortunately, the integrity of the Florida driver license is only as good as the integrity of the oldest license still in circulation. As long as institutions must accept the old style driver license as identification, the old style license will be the target of choice of the driver license counterfeiter, and the fraudulent licenses obtained prior to the stricter applicant screening processes being implemented will still be out there. Therefore we strongly recommend that steps be taken to minimize the time it takes for the old style driver licenses to be purged from circulation. We have been told that this process is currently planned to take six years from the time the new license is introduced. We feel this is an excessively long time. Every effort must be made to transition the entire population of Florida drivers to the enhanced license in as short a time as possible regardless of any previous expiration dates or renewal policies, or the positive impact of the significant strides we are making will be greatly minimized.
Cost of the Enhanced Drivers
We have heard repeatedly that the increased cost of the improved driver license card might prove to be a significant barrier to moving forward with this initiative. We continue to be baffled by this. The state currently charges a very nominal fee for the Florida driver license; it ranks among the lowest in the nation. We believe the public will appreciate the extra security afforded by a fraud proof driver license and will be willing to pay a modest increase for the peace of mind it offers in the areas of financial transactions and national security. If the policy makers disagree, we recommend exploring additional sources of revenue, perhaps even contributions from the affected financial industries or from federal funds.
Increased Law
Enforcement Presence
We have heard testimony that many forms of illegal activity take place outside certain DL offices that aids individuals in obtaining fraudulent drivers licenses. Recently, we heard testimony that the mere presence of law enforcement in driver license offices and surrounding parking lots has had an immediate and noticeable deterrent effect on the questionable activity taking place in those areas. We strongly recommend that the presence of law enforcement personnel be increased in and around driver license offices either through more frequent patrolling or, in the case of high crime areas, the stationing of an officer on the premises during operating hours.
Regulation of Commercial Driving Schools
In our first report, we identified the complete lack of regulation regarding the operation of commercial driving schools as a significant weakness in the overall integrity of the DL system. We heard repeated testimony that some of these schools facilitate the fraudulent acquisition of drivers licenses by providing fraudulent documentation for a price. Aside from requiring such schools to obtain a license, there is currently no state legislation that regulates their activity or provides for state inspections. We heard recently that there has been little progress made in this area since our last report was published and consequently wish to reiterate our recommendation that a statute be enacted to regulate these enterprises that have the potential to put the integrity of the Florida driver license at risk. This statute should provide for state regulation, supervision, inspection, and penalties for non-compliance.
While the work which we were asked to perform has been difficult, the issues complex, and the schedule exhausting at times, we have enjoyed our service and are proud of our contributions to the State of Florida.
We wish to thank Governor Bush for calling this Grand Jury into existence. We are also grateful to the following government officials and their respective offices for assisting us in the performance of our responsibilities:
Honorable Bob Butterworth, former Attorney General
The Honorable Richard E. Doran, Attorney General
Commissioner Tim Moore, Florida Department of Law Enforcement

We'll begin with the different forms of flowing water. The smallest water channels are often called brooks but creeks are often larger than brooks but may either be permanent or intermittent. Creeks are also sometimes known as streams but the word stream is quite a generic term for any body of flowing water. Streams can be intermittent or permanent and can be on the surface of the earth, underground, or even within an ocean (such as the Gulf Stream).
A river is a large stream that flows over land. It is often a perennial water body and usually flows in a specific channel, with a considerable volume of water. The world's shortest river, the D River, in Oregon, is only 120 feet long and connects Devil's Lake directly to the Pacific Ocean.
A pond is a small lake, most often in a natural depression. Like a stream, the word lake is quite a generic term - it refers to any accumulation of water surrounded by land - although it is often of a considerable size. A very large lake that contains salt water, is known as a sea (except the Sea of Galilee, which is actually a freshwater lake).
A sea can also be attached to, or even part of, an ocean. For example, the Caspian Sea is a large saline lake surrounded by land, the Mediterranean Sea is attached to the Atlantic Ocean, and the Sargasso Sea is a portion of the Atlantic Ocean, surrounded by water.
Oceans are the ultimate bodies of water and refers to the five oceans - Atlantic, Pacific, Arctic, Indian, and Southern. The equator divides the Atlantic Ocean and Pacific Oceans into the North and South Atlantic Ocean and the North and South Pacific Ocean.
Coves are the smallest indentations of land by a lake, sea, or ocean. A bay is larger than a cove and can refer to any wide indentation of the land. Larger than a bay is a gulf which is usually a deep cut of the land, such as the Persian Gulf or the Gulf of California. Bays and gulfs can also be known as inlets.
Any lake or pond directly connected to a larger body of water can be called a lagoon and a channel explains a narrow sea between two land masses, such as the English Channel.

The pools are way too small and get crowded. We found that there were few lounge chairs near the pool because people claimed their real estate and left their stuff there all day...so if I wanted to keep an eye on my 9 year old, I had to sit on the side of the pool.
The food was much better in the dining rooms than on the buffet...and twice they closed the buffet about 30 minutes before the end time stated on the program and completely missed the meals...once at breakfast and another day at lunch.
Overall things were pretty organized although you can't hear the announcements if your in your room or on the balcony, so we didn't know we had to go to the muster station until another passenger told us.
Pictures, souvenirs and drinks are quite expensive, so it's no wonder people try to sneak stuff on board. We were glad we were able to bring at least a bottle of our own wine to enjoy on our balcony one evening!

- Alpha Stockings in Madelinetosh Tosh Sock Review by Zina Reh
A toe up pattern with a clever heel gusset. The cable design is pretty and skillfully adapted for knitting in the round. The instructions are well written. I made two modifications, eliminated the cabled stitches on the heel and altered the ribbing to make it more stretchy.
