The Indian Scout was a smaller, lighter (hence better handling) and faster version of the Chief. (By "faster" I mean it accelerated faster but top speed was probably less, depending on gearing and the state of tune of the Scout and Chief.) It was the sport model of Indian, like Harley's Sportster or V-rod is compared to the big touring "baggers". Hence the Scout was often used (very successfully, even into the 1970's) for racing. (There were Scouts and Sport Scouts and smaller 600 c.c. Pony Scouts.) The very last "pre WWII" Scouts (1940-42, with apologies to the British who had been fighting the Nazis without US aid from 1939 until the start of 1942) got big skirted Chief type fenders, just like the H versions of the 1960's Sporster started to look like Duo-Glides and Electra-Glides and like Ford Thunderbirds after 1957 got bigger an heavier and more luxurious until they got so bloated and ill-handling they were replaced in the sports role by the Mustang. But I digress.
The Scouts in their V-twin 750 cc side valve (flathead) version did not reappear after the war except for a few dozen Big Base racers sold to private racers. Instead a British parallel twin (e.g. Triumph) styled model (but only 440 c.c. a seemingly odd size but copied by Honda circa 1965 for their CB450 which was really 444 c.c. but I digress) appeared but it was released too quickly and was a "lemon" full of "bugs". The later 500 cc version called the Warrior was much improved but by then (1950) it was too little too late.
BTW, if you didn't get here directly from the big brother site, www.IndianChiefMotorcycles.com, check it out later. (There is a link at end of this page.) The main site includes a history of Indian brand motorcycles 1901 to 2013, hundreds of photos of Chiefs, Fours and English made Indians, features on racers and customs, and rare prototypes, etc.
At Mid-Ohio in summer 2014 at the new Polaris-owned Indian company's official display I saw a superb privately customized and modernized late 1940's 440 Scout twin (converted to 500cc Warrior size). It was built by Tony Prust (AnalogMotorcycles.com). This gorgeous and meticulously fabricated bike would appeal to fans of British cafe racers. Actually I was disappointed with the Cafe Racer display in another tent as there were so few English bikes and many of the non-English bikes were not cafe racers.
Next (what a contrast yet from roughly the same era) are photos of a cluster of Indian Scout racers (750 cc flatheads) that I saw in the paddocks at the same mid-Ohio event of 2014. These were true 1940's style racers, looking crude, rough and tough and done on a small budget, probably like things were for most private racers back in the day. Note the batteries serving as side stands (racers do not come with stands). You would really think it was the 1940's at this paddock site. A time warp! Never seen anything like it. So a "shout out" and "bottoms up" to these brave and tough retro guys (2014) and those original guys (1940's).

Offered on Ebay in Sept. of 2014 was this 1941 Big Base Scout racer with Crocker style paint job on tank:
Also seen for sale was this peach and red 1941 Big Base Scout: The second of the four photos shows the magneto, driven off the top rear of the chaincase, indicating a Sport Scout and sitting atop the gearbox, (hence in the third photo of the mill, there is no distributor atop the oil pump, just a blanked-off hole). Compare to the black and red Scout above where a huge magneto sits atop the oil pump where the distributor with its condenser and contact breakers "points" would be on a standard Scout model. On stock Scouts there is no magneto and the generator is driven off the front of the primary case, sitting low and in front of the motor. (See orange 1940 model further down this page.) On the stock Chief the generator is above the rear of the primary and driven by a belt. (Bonneville Chiefs had a magneto driven by gears in the timing case, and it sat where the ignition coil sits on the standard models) Frankly I am confused as to whether all Big Base scouts had the magneto atop the pil pump (as in several photos in this website) or could have altnernatively been driven off the clutch basket/sprocket Sport Scout style as in the peach and red job below). In other words is the bike below a genuine Big Base or just a Sport Scout custom racer?
On display and not competing in the races at Mid-Ohio (2014) was this big base Scout and a retired hillcimber Scout:
Here are three shots of a rare and beautiful 1942 Sport Scout seen on Ebay August 2014.
Below is a video courtesy of YouTube of guys trying to start one of the Burt Munro Indians - which was based on a 1929 Scout engine but very, very modified. The movie starring Anthony Hopkins "The World's Fastest Indian" was about Burt and his bike. Note in this video Jay Leno is in the crowd and makes a few wisecracks.
Next is a YouTube video of a British fellow starting his 1925 Scout.
Here is a shot of a 1927 Scout wiith sidecar:
One thing I recently learned was that the now highly valued "101" series of Indian Scouts (only made from 1928 thru 1931, i.e. four years) are so valuable because not only were they the first Scouts to have front brakes but mainly because they were lower and longer and more raked than earlier Scouts and they still had pure Scout frames which were a bit different and lighter than the Chief frames. In 1932 the factory "homolgomized" and gave the Scouts the heavy Chief frame (with very few mods). This slowed the Scout and changed its appearance and probably its handling. (It was no longer called 101, just "Scout".) The adverse consumer reaction lead to the 1934 Sport Scout which had a lighter frame, different forks and aluminium alloy cylinder heads. It only lasted until about 1941, a production run of eight years. (During 1934 - 41, I assume there were probably a lot of regular Scouts as well as Sport Scouts built and sold. Nowadays only an expert can tell if a bike is a genuine Sport Scout or just a 1932 -41 Scout disguised as a Sport model, e.g. with alloy heads. I have never seen a post 101 Scout without alloy heads and when I checked the photos below (new photos added on Valentine's Day, 2013) I could not find any with iron heads, and all have the same style of forks, so I wonder if there were any non Sport Scouts sold, but I am positive that the WW II military models were wimpy non-Sport Scouts. I think the genuine Sport Scouts had magnetos instead of battery and coil ignition (and probably higher performance cams and carb tuning). Speaking of aluminium alloy cylinder heads, interesting that the Harley Sportster was sold with iron heads from its inception in 1957 until 1986, almost a 30 year stretch, and even the Harley K and KH (so-called flathead Sportster) and Knucklehead had alloy heads back in 1952 and 1936 respectively. So if alloy heads were used on the OHV Big Twins since 1936, and on Indians since 1934 and all British OHV bikes since around 1950 (except the BSA A-10's and their Ariel clones until about 1960), why did the Sportster, a sport bike in its day, use heavy and heat-holding, detonation-prone iron? I read somewhere that when H-D tried to use aluminum alloy heads on racing Sportsters (XLR's) sometime around 1980 the valve seats fell out! Before any irate Harley fans write in, I do own a '66 Sportie as well as a '64 Duo-Glide, and have owned other Hogs in the past, namely a 1950 or '51 Hydra-Glide (cannot remember), a 1941 model U, a 1980 FLT and a 1979 ex- police FL.
Here is a photo of an un- restored 1939 Scout, and a restored one.
The following photos of a 1939 Sport Scout and the accompanying story (click on thumbnail to open in new window, bigger) are from the Aug./Sept. 2001 issue of BRM, an excellent New Zealand MC mag, and are reproduced with their kind permission.
Next we see a "bobber" version of a standard Scout, probably a 1939. I photographed this in Stouffville, North of Toronto in the mid to late 1990's. The bike has a custom seat, bobbed rear fender, (necessitating relocated rear lamp and licence plate) disc brake on the front, and a 16" rear tire/rim and unknown rear hub/brake. (Plus a non-stock paint job.) The bike looks real fast and racey. I never get tired of oggling this fine example of craft and art. Would the owner please let us know who he is and what mods I may have missed?
Next is another bobber 1930's Scout, then in light blue, a photo courtesy of Zippy Lowson, showing a West Coast Scout bob job. It looks fairly stock except for chopped fenders and upswept exhaust.
Next, seen at the Rhinebeck NY AMCA meet in mid June 2013 was this 1928 Scout 101 customized with electric starter, turn signals, mechanical parts from earlier and later years, 1948 Chief fenders modified to fit, etc. Note all the useful gauges and idiot lights on the dash. This bitza is owned by Butch Baer.
Below left is a 1940 Sport Scout hillclimber blasting up Mount Douglas (Victoria B.C.) in 1945, ridden by the late Bob Shanks. Note the magneto under the seat instead of generator extending to the front of the primary case as on regular Scouts. Indians were popular hillclimbers in the 1940's and 50's, before the OHV BSA's, Triumphs and Sportsters took over. Compared to a sidevalved Harley, a competition Chief or Scout was more powerful and lighter. Hillclimbing is as much about skill and raw guts as it is power, so Indians were still doing well in hillclimbing into the 1970's. If you've never watched a hillclimb, treat yourself. It is the most exciting form of motorcycle racing to watch. To the right of it is another hillclimber piloted by Laughing Indian Riders Club President Don Doody. (Latter photo courtesy Allan "Zippy" Lowson.) I am not sure but I think this was in the mid to late 1980's.
In 1940 the Chief style fully valenced fenders were installed on the Scouts and Sport Scouts, but not the new Chief plunger rear suspension. I also learned that the Scout transmission was different from the Chief (despite both being hand shifted three-speeds), and that one can install a Chief gearbox into a Scout.
Here are 2 shots of a nicely restored 1941 Sport Scout (light green and cream)
Below are two shots I took some years ago of another 1940 or '41 Scout which is stock except for the paint job, Harley style air filter cover and a bit of extra chrome. The whitewall tires were likely "period accessories".
Next are shots of three recently restored (perfectly stock) Scouts, all 1940 vintage. One is orange, one blue and one olive (military color but glossy). The olive one is a Sport Scout, with a magneto. (I really doubt any actual army models were Sport Scouts.) For the orange one we see a closeup of the generator and a closeup of the ignition coil, battery, tool box and seat springs. These bikes were on sale on Ebay.
Below are a Left and Right view of Marilyn Crawford's 1941 Scout at the Old Bastards VMC rally in Sept. 2013. Marilyn and her husband Fred (on his 1947 Chief) rode the bikes across Canada a few years ago for a charity event, averaging 400 miles per day!
Below are two shots of an unrestored 1941 Sport Scout in faded Sea Foam Blue paint on Ebay Oct. 2013:
America did not enter the European theater of WWII until it was half over (in Europe, the Brits with the aid of their Commonwealth countries and volunteers from Poland had been single handedly holding off the Fascists since 1939 and the US did not really enter the war until the beginning of 1942.) So in this site WWII refers to 1942-45, with apologies to British, Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, and South African readers. Below are typical WWII Indian models based on the civilian Scout. Model 741 means 500 cc built from 1941 thru 1945, 641 means the 750 c.c. version. (The muffler on the first bike is too short.) Not shown on this page are the Chief versions, e.g. 341 means a 1200 cc. built 1941 - 45. More popular were the Harley-Davidson V twin flatheads built for the Allied forces, almost all of them 750 cc models. W was the model number for the civilian model, WLA was built for the US Army mostly in 1942, WLC for the Canadian Army mostly in 1943. The only real difference between the WLA and WLC was that on the WLC the front and rear brakes were the same and could be quickly interchanged, and most of the WLC's had a hand (cable operated) clutch instead of the foot treadle; both modifications thanks to Bernie Nicholson who was in charge of motorcycle training and maintenance in Canada and was a motorcycle expert (he wrote Modern Motorcycle Mechanics - final edition was in 1974 but it is still in print as so valuable to restorers - so he understood the value of being able to interchange parts and of the hand clutch.) This author does not know if the WLC clutch lever was on the left handlebar and the front brake lever (normally on the left on flathead Indians and Harleys) moved to the right. One would expect so as the right hand could close the throttle, move the gearshift lever, and return to the throttle while the left moved the clutch lever in and out. I actually plan to do this on my next Chief and am fascinated to learn (in late 2012) that this was how Canadian Army dispatch riders rode (I think). Other than WLA and WLC, perhaps there was another suffix for WL for another country? Maybe a WLF for France, and WLSA for South Africa, a WLNZ for New Zealand and a WLOZ for Australia since WLA was already "taken". (Just kidding.) Does anyone who has a WL in those countries know about this? In the British Army they used their own Matchless and Norton and BSA 350 c.c. singles, along with a few Indian models for the Air Force according to a Classic Bike article. Note the shots I took at Oley in 2012 show a model 6 or 7 with the rifle holder on the right of the fork, a metal box on the left fork (for ammo, medical supplies, maps?) and a mesh covering the distributor. This was standard Army equipment. The last four shots in this cluster are of a 641 restored by Jeff Grigsby of Indian Motor Works, offered on Ebay in very late 2012. I suspect the white color of the seat is incorrect as is the metal corrugated flexi-hose over the exhaust pipe headers, but otherwise an impeccable restoration.
Just to give you an idea of how much work and skill and time and money and parts are required to restore an old motorcycle (or car or airplane), here is a shot of a 641 engine that needs restoring. Compare it to the close up of the restored engine just before it. It appears that on the unrestored the carburetor is hanging out from being the rear cylinder (it is supposed to be between the cylinders and should be invisible from this side.)
Below is a fifteen year old photo of one of Harold Carlaw's restored Army 750's, probably a model 6. My daughter (who was then aged 2) and I (who was thinner then) had a brief ride in the sidecar. It was fun. My only time in a "chair". The second shot shows the rig in front of the Memorial War Museum which is another good reason to visit Campbellford, Ontario, Canada; although I've heard that it is only open part-time now so best to phone for an appointment.
On the topic of military Harley 45's, lately there seem to be a lot more WLC's than WLA's advertised for sale or shown in magazines in the USA than before. Previously one never saw a WLC. Obviously these were exported from Canada, South to the USA. Did the WLA's tend to get scrapped or turned into ugly choppers? According to an interesting YouTube video:
which has many WWII photos of US Army Harley 45's, there were 60,000 built as WLA and another 40,000 as WLC. The text of the video is in French but even if you can't read French it is worth watching - lots of photos of WL's taken in France after the D day invasion and until war's end. A great resource for restorers of army 45's.
Harley fans may be interested to learn that before the US entered the war (1939, 1940) there was a civilian WLD which had more power. (Military engines are detuned for reliability and mileage, and by law during the US war era 1942-first half of 1945, no civilian motorcycles could be made except "essential use" such as police.) Harley also made an better breathing WLDR and later WR full race model, probably postwar. In their Servi-Car tricycle (which first appeared in 1932) they used an R engine until 1937 (total loss oil system) then a W or G engine until 1973, which was basically a WL with cast iron heads and less power. The Harley "45" resumed civilian production postwar and lasted until 1952, using, I think, a WL engine. Hot rodders and racers postwar sometimes used Indian Scout pistons and/or Chief flywheels to increase bore and stroke. (called Chouts) See video below of a 1940 Scout done this way.
Here are some YouTube videos copied on 30 Dec. 2012. First is of a guy starting and riding off on a 1941 Harley WL painted in desert sand color, and second is a guy starting and riding off on a civlian Harley 45. Then is a 1942 civilianized Indian 741. Then the "Chout" bobber. Looks great, sounds great, goes around the corners fine and only weighs 370 lb.
Below is a shot, courtesy of Zippy Lowson, of a postwar Scout hillclimber with Edison-Splitdorf magneto driven off the top of the oil pump and the usual traction chains on the rear wheel. The aluminum cast wheels suggest this was being used as late as the 1970's or later.
Next is a photo of the Laughing Indian Riders MC racer, circa 1995 from the now-gone Westwood race track East of Vancouver. Note the AMC (Norton) gearbox and front brake .
It was ridden by Alan "Zippy" Lowson.
Below is a photo, courtesy of Zippy, of George Routelier's early
flatracker Chief. Compared to modern flat trackers, this is a ver ylong machine.
As discussed above, during WW II the Allies used lots of Harley 45 CID (750 cc.) and Indian flathead V-twins of 500 - 1200 cc (30.5 to 74 CID) displacement. (My Dad rode a Chief, which in the Canadian army was likely called a model 340.) The rare Indian 841 was a transverse rather than in-line V, with other Moto-Guzzi-like features such as shaft drive and foot shift and cylinders at a 90 degree angle, but the barrels and head were not new and were from the 750 Scout. The 841 never saw action and only about a thousand were built. Much more common were the model 741's of 500 cc and the model 641's of 750 cc. (Confusing, as one would expect the 642 to be a 600 cc. built in 1942 and the 742 to be a 750 built in 1942, but Indian seemed to lose its logic during WW II and never recover from it. It was likely the only US company to lose money instead of make big profits from selling equipment to the military.) In Western Europe, especially England, and in New Zealand and Australia one finds many 741's still running around. In New Zealand there is a big racing scene around them. There are also a lot (relatively speaking, meaning "a few") of army Chiefs in North America. (Compared to the Indians, ex-army Harley 45's are very common.)
Below left is a 1940 Sport Scout I saw at Oley Pennsylvania in 2005. I assumed it was a non-runner. To my surprise not long after I took the photo I saw it running around the rally site sounding strong and perfect, starting easily, never missing a beat. Goes to show you can't judge a book by its cover. I saw several other slightly beaten up unrestored "street fighter circa 1945" style Chiefs which turned out to run fine too! Seemed the owners of these "beaters" were having more fun, certainly getting more riding, than the $25,000 over-restored trailer queen bikes. In their day Indians were work horses, like pickup trucks, with riders putting on many miles and expecting reliability. The thing with old Hogs and Injuns is if used regularly they run much better and trouble-free than when used infrequently. (Come to think of it, same applies to the human body.)
Compare the unrestored 1940 Sport Scout bike above with the restored one below. Further down is a 1940 Scout which has been chopped. :
After the war and to this date, Ozzies and Kiwis have been "civilianizing" the 640's and 741's, prettying them up and in the case of the 45 inchers, which were detuned Sport Scouts, converting them to Sport Scout specs. (As noted above, the Sport Scout came out in 1934 to replace the 101 Scout. The Scout got more finning and skirted fenders in 1940 but not many were produced in 1940 and '41 and production of civilian and military Scouts ceased around 1944.) Another hop-up trick is to use Chief 74 inch flywheels and rods in the Scout, to make a 950 cc. Chout. (Wonder whether 80 inch Chief would also work, or even the new 84 inchers made by Kiwi? Obviously you'd have to put base spacers in to lengthen the barrels. Then the intake manifold might not be long enough as the heads would be further apart. Meanwhile the heads would be sitting so high they might foul the fuel tank or not clear the frame. Such is the fun of modifying a motorcycle.)
Many Indian riders were irate that there was no V-twin flathead
Scout for sale after the war. Privately owned Scouts continued to win races
for many years after the war. Some privateers put Chief flywheels in to get
950 c.c. (57 CID) and a lot more power out of their racing or souped up street
Scouts, and these "Chouts" are still valued today. The factory did relent
somewhat in 1948, but only for racers, by producing 50 racing Scouts stamped
FDH, but commonly known as the big base Scout or the "648 Daytona" as Daytona
was where most were raced. (This proves that Indian had the ability to keep
making Scouts after the war, and it was a management decision to stop just
before 1949 when the "torque" models went on sale.) The model 648
big base Scouts performed extremely well in their class (Class C) and continued
to win races for the next six years! In fact at various other types of races
across the USA, racing Scouts continued to do well and even win up to the
1970s! Their demise (other than being many years old by then) was likely due
to the Harley K model and British twins such as the Norton, Triumph and BSA.
Above right is a photo of Jerry Chinn's Indian flat trackers. I think this photo was taken in the late 1990's or early 21st century. Racer number 13 is a Big base 648. Enthusiasts make reproduction crankcases and other parts for the model 648, attesting to the merits of the design. If you think an Indian 750 cc flathead is wimpy like a Harley "45" (750 flathead) you should hear these racing Scouts being warmed up in the paddocks at the annual AMA Vintage days in mid-Ohio. Music to the ears! Imagine how many more years these 648 Scouts and privately souped up Scouts could have won races if they had had a four speed footshift gearbox like the British bikes instead of the ancient 3 speed hand shifter. Of course part of the success of the V-twin Scouts was the riders who raced them: Ed Kretz, Floyd Emde, Johhnny Spiegelhoff, Ted Edwards, Art Hafer, John Greenlee, Jack Horn, Bill Huguley, Bob Holt to name just a few.
In retrospect it can be argued that Indian made a big mistake by dropping the V-twin Scout. It was a popular model and its "high tech" replacement the OHV but miniscule Warrior was a flop. Indian could have easily converted the 45 CID flathead Scout to 57 CID (950 cc) using Chief bottom ends, and used the military 841's frame, to keep them competitive for a few more years. Harley did not come out with its OHV sports model until 1957.
In 1945 with the war over, Indian gave up on the V-twin Scout as obsolete, and spent a few years and all of its money developing the OHV "Torque" series designed by Chief Engineer Briggs Weaver. The Torque series was modelled after British designs, and came onto the market in 1949. Harley also copied the British about three years after Indian tried, but Harley did not use a parallel vertical twin engine and kept to its tried and true (and popular) V-twin engine design. It brought out a new flathead 750 in 1952 (the K). Like the new OHV Indian twin sport bike, the K too was also a poor seller initially. It had gearbox problems and was far too slow to compete with the British. The gearbox was gradually improved and the engine size was upped by about 140 cc to 888 cc for the 1954 model year. As the power increased, so did sales. This KH evolved in 1957 into the OHV Sportster of 883 cc which is still a big seller.
After WW II Indian tried to make its own version of a typical English twin (e.g. Triumph) and called it the Scout (in 1949). The engine was a parallel vertical twin (2 cyl.) OHV with British type gearbox and controls. The bike looks completely English except that for some reason the primary drive was on the right side instead of the left. However these new bikes were rushed into production for the 1949 model year (to replace the Chief which had been dropped as "obsolete" for that year) with countless problems unsolved and the new Scout only had 440 cc and was a big flop. The third reason it failed was that the relative currencies of the US dollar and British pound sterling has changed, so that English bikes were quite cheap and the Indians could not compete price-wise. Dealers were irate and the Chief was re-introduced the next year (1950). By that year most of the problems with the Scout had been solved and the engine upped to 500 cc (30 CID) and the bike renamed Warrior but the bike had established a hopeless reputation and was still not a good price compared to Triumphs, BSA's, Nortons, Matchless, AJS, Royal Enfields, Ariels and Panthers which were being imported from Britain. The last few were made in 1952. When you see these bikes in real life they are quite small even compared to their British cousins.
Below are two shots of a maroon Scout, then (below) a stock black one with (to its right) a black chopped version (actually a rare 1950 Warrior). Underneath is a pretty yellow 1949 Scout, followed by three shots of a very rare red-orange 1952 competition model. Max Bubeck used to successfully race one of these and actor James Dean bought one. The red-orange Bubeck replica was superbly restored at great expense by British Motorbikes of North Hollywood. I have never ridden a postwar Scout or Warrior but I wonder if the location of the oil tank causes burns to the rider's left thigh on hot days?
In collaboration with Friedel Munch, Clymer hoped this German made combination of state of the art chassis (for 1968) and 1940's Scout engine would "set the world on fire". Even as a teenager at the time I thought it was bizarre. Due to projected costs being so high only one prototype was made. It still exists and was sold in late 2009 to a collector / full-time restorer of Indians. More photos of this fascinating motorcycles are in www.indianchiefmotorcycles.com, on the "1955-85 era" page.
Jumping ahead to about a decade ago when Indians were being made in Gilroy California and there were Scout models, the following road test of one is reproduced with the permission of the copyright holder CANADIAN BIKER magazine (an excellent magazine I might add.) The issue was March 2001. It is interesting that the practical top speed of the new Scout, despite its large engine (88 CID or 1430 cc, being 130 cc bigger than a Chief of fifty years prior), and weighing only 35 pounds more than a 1951 Chief, was around 85 mph (same as my much heavier 1980 H-D FLT) and the comfortable top speed (due to vibration and handling) was only 60 mph. (105 kph). Progress? One would have more comfort on a old Indian V twin since the flathead engines tend not to vibrate, and the same top speed with a Chief or model 101 Scout. Half a century later and no better performance!
Some of the fastest and sweetest looking "hopped up" Scouts are from James (Jim) Mosher in New Mexico. Check out this 58 CID strocker (about 950 cc) with magneto and British gearbox and 1969-70 Triumph/BSA front brake:
Jim even built a twin engine Scout and raced it at the Bonneville salt flats:

USNH tuition freeze? That is not enough
In the last budget, both the community college system and the University System of New Hampshire took steep cuts. The cuts at USNH totaled about $100 million, or nearly half the system's state subsidy, over two years. The university system has undertaken a lobbying and public relations push to have that money restored. Hassan says that won't happen without a tuition freeze.
That is not much of a demand. The university system had already offered to freeze tuition for the next two years in exchange for the budget restoration. That offer has been on the table for six months. Hassan's announcement on Monday that this will be the price of renewed funding is simply an acceptance of the system's proposal.
Unfortunately for students, this offers no solution to the very serious problem of ever-increasing tuition and fees. A two-year tuition freeze simply holds the already high tuition rate steady for half the time it takes to get a four-year degree. After that, universities are free to raise rates again.
Instead of insisting on a short-term tuition freeze, Hassan should demand serious structural reforms that will actually lower the cost of providing an education at USNH institutions. Only through substantial reductions in operational costs can the system make college truly more affordable in the long term.
Offering the system a sliding scale: say, $25 million for an X percent cut in operating expenses, $50 million for double that, etc., would be one way to go about it.
By simply agreeing to a short-term tuition freeze, Hassan would gain future students no advantages at all while obligating them (as taxpayers) to finance double the state subsidy the system now receives. A roughly 50 percent increase in state funding is a huge incentive. Hassan misses a tremendous opportunity if she fails to use it to the students' fullest advantage.

Derek Stepan politely declines credit for saving the New York Rangers' season with his heady defensive play.
He's just glad he prevented a possible sweep in the Stanley Cup finals by sweeping the puck off the goal line in the waning moments of Game 4.
Stepan pushed the motionless puck underneath goalie Henrik Lundqvist, preventing the Los Angeles Kings from equalizing and likely forcing overtime.
Making the play solely on instinct, Stepan knows he was lucky not to knock the puck into his own net, or right onto the stick of a Los Angeles player. He also figures the Rangers were due for some luck in this series.
Stepan and the Rangers returned to Staples Center knowing they'll need more smart defensive play in Game 5 on Friday.

Tv, News for AMA Supercross 2014 live rd9
By tomakhan26 | Sunday, March 02, 2014, 00:19
It's a testament to the quality of competition and track design that
such an amazing group of racers are all within reasonable grasp of the
title at the halfway point of the series.
Watch Indianapolis – Ama Supercross 2014 Live stream here
Watch Indianapolis – Ama Supercross 2014 Live stream here

Unfortunately, the field is
thinning a bit with recent injuries to Chad Reed and, last weekend,
Justin Barcia (below). Barcia is expected to at least ride practice this
weekend in Indianapolis, however, and that's great news as his hunger
for podium finishes seems stronger than ever before. Things are turning
around though, starting this weekend Dean Wilson will take Reed's spot
on the Team TwoTwo Motorsports Kawasaki in the 450SX class and Cole
Seely is set to step onto Trey Canard's factory MuscleMilk Honda
CRF450R. Also freshly returned is Josh Grant (who actually showed up
last weekend in Atlanta), and soon we will see the return of Davi
Millsaps (scheduled for Daytona) and Canard (Detroit).
Martin Davalos managed to keep his KX250F on two wheels for the
entire 250SX main event and come off with his first win after nine
seasons of trying. He's always been one of the fastest riders on the
track in the class, but crashes that have lead to not finishing up high
in the points have allowed him to remain in the class and not "point
out" for this long. It's possible that this year he may have brought a
little something extra to the plate and seems to be a legitimate title
hopeful. However, outdoors-style racing has never been his forte so he
probably needs to make up as many points on his teammates Blake Baggett
and Adam Cianciarulo this weekend as he can.
Speaking of the rookie points leader Cianciarulo, he continues to
impress with his speed and poise, not to mention that he hasn't missed a
holeshot yet in the four starts he's been a part of in his young AMA
Supercross career. Adam needs to be on the lookout for Davalos, though,
because as fast as this youngster has been, it seems clear over the last
two Saturday nights that the veteran has him covered speed-wise, it's
just the consistency he needs to work on. Two points separate them,
while Baggett is another nine back in third.
Another rider who'd been expected to make a run for the
championship is Geico Honda's Justin Bogle. Coming off a pre-season
injury that was fairly serious in nature, Bogle's natural ability
carried him through the previous weekend in Dallas, but in Atlanta it
seeemed Justin rounded a corner in his recovery and ran the pace
necessary for a win. Fourth in points and only eleven points down is not
a bad place to be, so don't count out the Oklahoman for the title just
yet, as he's sure to be even better in Indy this weekend.
That's the state of the series heading into Round 9 in
Indianapolis this weekend. The points are tight in both classes, we've a
new wild card in the 450 class (Wilson), and three teammates battling
for the win in 250s. To catch all the action, check here at
AMASupercross.com for Live Timing & Scoring during practice and the
races, and our Facebook page for updates throughout the day. Also check

Mount Sherman Climber's Log
[ Sign the Climber's Log ]
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: August 04
|The most uneventful 14er I've done. This is a very good beginning 14er. This will let you begin to interpret weather issues at altitude without overtaxing yourself.
|Posted Oct 14, 2005 4:27 pm
|Route Climbed: Iowa Gulch via West Ridge of Sheridan Date Climbed: October 8, 2005
|Excellent day, perfect weather. Climbed Sheridan, Peerless, Horseshoe, Sherman, and Gemini. Got tired right below the summit of Dyer and headed down.
|Posted Oct 9, 2005 12:53 pm
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: October 2, 2005
|Very easy, short and enjoyable climb despite some incredibly strong winds. Great day in the sun and early snow with climbing partner, Alan Arnette.
|Posted Oct 2, 2005 8:00 pm
|Route Climbed: Iowa Gulch Date Climbed: Sept. 7, 2005
|Easy by 14er standards, though there was quite a bit of scree and loose rock. No one else was coming from the Leadville side today, so I was surprised to find myself alone at the trailhead.
If you park at the road closure sign, make sure you walk up the road for 3/4 mile before diving into the basin at a cairned turnoff. I bushwhacked quite a bit before finding the trail. After that it was a slog up rocky slopes all the way to the summit.
A few false peaks, and a long ridge on top.
|Posted Sep 16, 2005 7:56 pm
|Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge from Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: August 22, 2005
|My first 14er, hope it's not my last. Think I did pretty well for an overweight and old flatlander from Indiana. Thanks to my new son-in-law, DJ, for showing me the way. I love you son.
|Posted Sep 6, 2005 1:36 pm
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: September 3, 2005
|Climbed with my ten year old son. His first fourteener. There were probably 100 people on the mountain this Saturday of Labor Day weekend. I was surprised at how late many of them were starting given the clouds forming.

|Posted Aug 25, 2005 9:32 am
|Route Climbed: Iowa Gulch Date Climbed: 8.21.05
|Easy climbing, pretty rocks.....thunder, lightning rock my socks
snow on summit , rain below....means the mountain loves me so.......:-)
|Posted Aug 22, 2005 10:19 pm
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: July 2005
|Not exactly a wild mountain by any stretch, but enjoyable none-the-less. Never has a 90 Schilling tasted so good than at the summit :)
|Posted Aug 10, 2005 4:30 pm
|Route Climbed: Leavick Date Climbed: July 30, 2005
|Holy crowds!
|Posted Aug 4, 2005 5:13 pm
|Route Climbed: 4 mile Creek Date Climbed: May 31, 2003
|We had perhaps our most bizarre 14er experience ever on Sherman. As we were descending Sherman on our way to Gemeni, my wife & I approached a couple of people that were fixated on a large furry object on the ground. Hush my mouth & kiss my grits! it was a beaver about 20 of 30 feet from the summit of Sherman. This was extremely bizarre. At the end of the day we concluded that the rodent was carried up the mountain by a raptor of some description. It appeared injured/dazed.
This is one of Colorado's easiest 14ers.

|Route Climbed: Four mile Date Climbed: Feb 14th 2003
|Great climb in the winter. It was a blizzard the entire time. High winds and dumping snow.
|Posted Jul 24, 2005 5:09 pm
|Michael Crofford
|Route Climbed: FourMile Creek Date Climbed: July 12th, 2005
|I really like this mountain...I''m not sure why. I think Sherman is kind of underrated. 5th CO 14er.
|Posted Jul 24, 2005 3:27 pm
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: July 18, 2003
|My 1st 14er! I was foolish enough to make an easy fourteener moderate by climbing straight up a scree slope instead of taking the trail. Being from the east, I was out of breath on moderately steep scree with no place to rest! I was very happy once I got to the easier terrain of the summit ridge.
|Posted Jul 19, 2005 9:03 pm
|Route Climbed: Southwest Ridge from Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: July 16, 2005
|Easy but rocky trail. There are multiple ways to hike up this mountain.
|Posted Jul 19, 2005 11:32 am
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: May 29, 2003
|Piece of cake for number 8. Up and down in shade over 2 hours with Shane and Peter. Old coal mines added a little flavor to this enjoyable hike. Great view of Democrat and and classic cirque. Everybody should do Sherman!
|Posted Jul 18, 2005 10:23 pm
|Route Climbed: standard Date Climbed: July 16 2005
|Up and down in 2 hr, not by choice though I had to get back to Denver and pick up my wife from work.
|Posted Jul 17, 2005 7:05 pm
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Date Climbed: May 21, 2004
|7th 14er!
|Posted Jul 13, 2005 3:17 pm
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek Date Climbed: June 2, 2005
|Started from the mine at the very bottom to make sure I did 3,000, decided that's my standard.
|Posted Jul 8, 2005 8:02 am
|Route Climbed: Fourmile Creek via scree slope Date Climbed: July 3, 2005
|Started at 7am, made the mistake of groggily following the first group up and ended up on a steep scree slope instead of the saddle. Probably saved a little time. We actually had the summit to ourselves for a few minutes! I think we saw 'myrone' at the top.

BENKELMAN-The Hershey volleyball team won both matches of a triangular against Dundy County-Stratton and Perkins County on Tuesday.
The Lady Panthers (12-7) began the day by beating the host team, Dundy County-Stratton 25-21, 21-25, 25-20.
"Dundy County had some kids who swing well," said Hershey coach Amy Beyer. "We missed way too many serves and we need to be more solid in that aspect of the game."
Against Dundy County (15-9), Daynlee Miller and Brooke Munsen were tough at the net with 19 and 14 kills, respectively.
The Panthers then finished up with another three-set victory by beating conference rival Perkins County 19-25, 25-16, 25-20.
"We really struggled hitting in the first set," Beyer said. "But we settled down and made some rotation changes in the last two sets. We had better serving, passing and defense compared to the Dundy County game."
Miller had seven kills against Perkins County (4-16), as did Ryce Troyer. Miller also served for 14 points in the match.
Jenna Young and Bobbi Brannan, the two Hershey setters, both had 28 set assists in the two matches.

They cost 1/3 less than the 1k, and with the beefy/lug sole, have slightly less "dress" pretensions than the 1k. But yeah, worse than the damage is that they thought it was a good idea to put that in their product photo. Or knew it wasn't a good idea and being that they're a small startup just didn't realize they had options. Can imagine the anxiety that caused. Nice looking boots otherwise. Wonder how the fit is.

Bill Pearce • Tom Watson
TLC's Board of Directors normally meets monthly. Members are welcome to attend the public portion of Board meetings. However, as a considerable portion of our work deals with property transactions and financing, significant portions of the agenda must be dealt with in Camera, to protect negotiations in progress.
TLC Volunteer Board Minutes available online
Residence and Occupation: Salt Spring Island; Writer/Researcher.
Your interest, vision or focus with TLC: As a Director, I will cherish and cultivate the skills, passions and contributions of members and staff that give so much to the work we all care so deeply about, and that sustain us – socially and financially. My professional work in conservation offsets will also provide new avenues for revenue generation to ensure that our legacy is protected.
Skills, knowledge and/or experience that you are bringing to the Board: Consultant to land trusts for biological inventory, communications, environmental education, including 8 years with the National Trust in Britian. PhD in Geography on land conservation; Adjunct Professor University of Victoria. Writer, researcher, broadcaster, journalist, lecturer, artist. Developing expertise in conservation offsets.

Developing founding principles of TLC with other members/donors coming together to save places they loved.
Membership in other Organizations: Member of Land trust Alliance of BC; Director, Raincoast Conservation Foundation; member of Saltspring Conservancy; Environmental Advisory Committee, Islands Trust; Advisor, Child and Nature Alliance; Member, Sustainable Energy Association of B.C.
Frances Pugh – Acting Vice-Chair
Occupation: Fruit and vegetable grower on the Saanich Peninsula
Skills, knowledge and/or experience: I bring a myriad of skills from my self employment: running a small business. As well, I have considerable non-profit organizational skills and knowledge from my role as Past Chair of the Saanich Inlent Protection Society, and from the experience of a very challenging past year on TLC's Board of Directors.
Interest and Vision for TLC: I want to work to help TLC's involvement in implementing the Greenspace Tax Levy passed by the CVRD. I also want to continue working for a more financially solvent TLC, to maintain and increase our membership, and to continue to support our staff and raise public profile. We need innovative campaigns to start to support past projects that need to, once again, be a focus of The Land Conservancy. Many properties need serious maintenance and upgrades. These issues need to be addressed before focusing on new acquisitions. We have to be more than just a "collector".
Involvement with TLC: I have been a member of TLC since 2002, and a member of the Board of Directors since 2009. I am a fundraiser/supporter for the Sea to Sea Greenbelt campaign, and a proponent of the greenspace tax levies in the CRD and CVRD.
Other Organizations: Saanich Inlet Protection Society; Resident and Ratepayers of Central Saanich; Sea Change Marine Conservation Society; World Wildlife Fund; SPCA (Wild Arc); Alaskan Malamute HELP League.
Mel is a long time community activist who is interested in preserving and protecting special places. Some of his successful projects include; saving a heritage church from being torn down and then turning it into a thriving community space – St. James Community Square; preserving the character neighbourhood of West Kitsilano by getting a bylaw to stop demolition of houses in that area; helping to have part of the Point Grey Foreshore declared a a natural foreshore in perpetuity and thus not allowing development in this oasis of urban nature. Mel was also instrumental in bringing a Farmer's Market to Kitsilano.
Occupation: Self Employed- Researcher for the Cohen Inquiry as well as working as a naturalist and deck-hand during summer months in Port McNeill BC.
Skills, knowledge and/or experience: I have experience in planning community environmental demonstrations such as the paddle for wild salmon where 100's paddled down the Fraser River in an effort to inform the public of the issues wild salmon are facing. In 2010 I was sent to Norway by the Wilderness Tourism Association to speak with fish farming industries operating in B. C's waters. I am an activist, researcher and naturalist, and a very hard working young woman.
Interest and Vision for TLC: I have lived on Northern Vancouver Island for most of my life where I have been heavily involved in environmental issues there. The biggest of these would be the loss of wild salmon in not only my area but Vancouver's as well. I want to get other young people involved in protecting important environmental habitats by teaching them the importance of species such as fish and the many species that depend upon them. I feel Vancouver is a great opportunity for me to get more young people involved and informed of environmental issues happening around them. It is easy to lose sight of these things when living in such a place as a city.
Involvement with TLC: I am a new member, so my involvement with TLC is only beginning. I am very excited to get going.
Other Organizations: Rotary, Wilderness Tourism Association, Raincoast Research, Sable Fish Association and Save our Wild Salmon.
Occupation: Consulting Forester
Skills, knowledge and/or experience: I have extensive experience with silviculture and woodlot management and issues relating to private woodlots licensing and organization.

Senate rejects Democrats' bid to raise debt ceilingBy ANDREW TAYLOR
The Associated Press | October 13,2013WASHINGTON The focus of efforts to end the government shutdown and prevent a U.S. default shifted Saturday to the Senate, where leaders were in talks aimed at resolving the twin stalemates.
Word of the negotiations between Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and the top Republican, Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, emerged as the Senate, as expected, rejected a Democratic effort to raise the governments borrowing limit through next year.
This bill would have taken the threat of default off the table and given our nations businesses and the economy the certainty we need, the White House said in a statement.
Republicans objected because they want the extension to be accompanied by spending cuts.
The spotlight turned to the Senate as the partial shutdown reached its 12th day. It also came with the calendar edging closer to Oct. 17, when administration officials have said the government will deplete its ability to borrow money, risking a first-time federal default that could jolt the world economy.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told fellow Republicans earlier Saturday that his talks with President Barack Obama had stalled.
The Senate needs to hold tough, Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., said Boehner told House GOP lawmakers. The president now isnt negotiating with us.
GOP senators said the talks between Reid and McConnell had started Friday. That was confirmed by Senate Democratic aides.
The only thing thats happening right now is Sen. Reid and Sen. McConnell are talking. And I view that as progress, said the second-ranking Republican senator, John Cornyn of Texas.
Saturdays Senate vote derailing the Democrats debt-limit measure was a near party-line 53-45 in favor of the bill. That fell seven short of the 60 required to overcome Republican objections to considering the measure.
The White House said it was unfortunate that the common-sense, clean debt limit increase proposed by Senate Democrats was refused a yes or no vote.
House conservatives said Obama was to blame for the talks with their chamber running aground.
Perhaps he sees this as the best opportunity for him to win the House in 2014, said Rep. John Fleming, R-La. Its very clear to us he does not now, and never had, any intentions of negotiating.
It doesnt have to be this way. Its not supposed to be this way, Obama said in his weekly radio and Internet address Saturday. Manufacturing crises to extract massive concessions isnt how our democracy works, and we have to stop it. Politics is a battle of ideas, but you advance those ideas through elections and legislation not extortion.
A bipartisan group of senators, closely watched by Senate leaders, is polishing a plan aimed at reaching compromise with Obama.
An emerging proposal by Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, and others would pair a six-month plan to keep the government open with an increase in the governments borrowing limit through January.
Obama has turned away a House plan to link the reopening of the government and a companion measure to temporarily increase the governments borrowing cap to concessions on the budget.
In the face of disastrous opinion polls, GOP leaders have signaled they will make sure the debt limit is increased with minimal damage to the financial markets. But theyre still seeking concessions as a condition for reopening the government.
Obama met Senate Republicans on Friday and heard a pitch from Collins on raising the debt limit until the end of January, reopening the government and cutting the health care law at its periphery.
The plan also would strengthen income verification for people receiving subsidies through the health care law and set up a broader set of budget talks.
The Collins proposal would delay for two years a medical-device tax that helps finance the new health care law.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in... Full StoryHoliday Festival Full StorySpeed blamed Full Story

A 25 year old 1988 vintage. That's quite enough about me though. Feeling a little guilty that I haven't got to this whisky already (we received the package with the sample about a month ago), I'm now making a concious effort in these busy 'already-sort-of-started-but-also-still-building-up-to-Christmas-retailing' times to get to it before my birthday, after which I'll suddenly have a little less in common with it.
Everybody enjoys getting their hands on a whisky distilled in the year of their birth, it's fun. It's one of those things that shouldn't really matter perhaps, but many people are willing to fork out that little bit (or lot-a-bit) extra to get their paws on something from 'their vintage'. Something that's spent the same amount of time on this oblate spheroid as they have. Indeed, some whisky lovers go out of their way to secure these as often as possible. But if it's the same age as you as well? Better still, surely?
