By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate associate editor
The longest-playing drama at Helper's Rio Theatre has never appeared onstage. It has been the story of the theatre itself. Now in its 14th year, the series is about to take a new turn: professional management under contract with the city.
At last Thursday's meeting, the city council voted to allow Mayor Dean Armstrong and City Attorney Gene Strate to draw up a contract with Lund-Fontana Enterprises, LLC, to handle the operations and get the building working as intended.
The council's action drew applause from an audience of one - professional actor Morgan Lund, principal of the firm and the impresario behind the theatre's last full season of performances two years ago.
Lund has been working with the council for months to design an arrangement that would staff the operation with at least some part-time employees responsible for marketing and promotion.
Those employees would draw their paychecks from the company, not from the city. The city would continue to be owner of the property but the company would operate it.
Regardless of who employs the workers, the creation of jobs could free the city from a $37,000 debt to the federal government. Originally, funding for the Rio was intended as a federal grant for economic development. However, when the jobs that were supposed to be created did not appear, the grant became a loan.
Debbie Hatt, executive director of the Southeaster Utah Association of Local Governments, told the council earlier this year that creation of the jobs during the next two years could turn the loan into a grant again.
"One way or another, we're going to spend the money," Armstrong told the council Thursday. That would either be paying off the debt or paying a contractor.
It was the same theme that Lund had followed in an earlier presentation to the city: either send the money to Washington or spend it in Helper.
Lund estimated that the cost of two part-time interns at the theatre would be $17,000 until the end of the city's fiscal year June 30.
Those workers would be involved in drumming up activities, performances, ticket sales and promotion. Lund has said that much of the day-to-day business of theaters these days is conducted on-line, so one of the early objectives is to create a strong Internet presence.
Lund and Councilman Kirk Mascaro have also been seeking funds from the Restaurant/Room Tax Fund recently.
However, as the mayor noted in his comments to the council, one of the difficulties in fund raising has been that there is no one running the Rio.
Before it gets signed, the contract will have to be acceptable to the city attorney, must permit the federal loan to become a grant and then earn the council's final approval.

oh yeah - the Phantom and US do NOT seem to come up on the used market
this is a GOOD sign, butt does me NO good :-(
|23rd January 2013 09:20 AM
Remi: je reste � Montr�al
in terms of distributors, Sharks NO longer supplies windsurfers and SilentSports has only JP.
I check www.windspirit-direct dot com for SB products
unregistered: my one and only new board cost about $1200
i cannot and never could afford $2000+ boards
as you say, I will continue to develop my skills with the good quiver that i have
will get as much TOW as i can and have FUN
fun is my middle name - just ask anyone at work :-)
|23rd January 2013 12:34 AM
I've been out of windsurfing for about 9 or 10 years, recently returned to the sport. The last board I purchased was a seatrend 68 about 10 years ago. I paid $2995 au for it, 10 years ago. I recently ordered an ultrasonic in wood contruction and it cost me $2895 au. So 10 years later I get a vastly superior product for $100 less. I think thats pretty good. Wages go up over time, it's inevitable. As wages rise so do materials and transportation costs as well as labour.
Sails as well seem to have stayed about the same, with some exceptions.(cough, neil pryde) Top end race sails are more costly these days but they have also never been better. the more exotic Masts and carbon booms seem to have blown out a bit but they are not essential items. %30 carbon masts will do the job just fine.
I agree that starboard boards are a bit costly and I practically had to sell one of my kidneys to get one but you are talking about the mercedes benz of windsurfing. You get what you pay for and the starboards are the best.
In my humble opinion %90 of windsurfing performance is the guy riding the board so just buy within your budget and let enthusiasm and dedication drive you to new heights of sailing.
|22nd January 2013 11:56 PM
Hi Unregistered,
Where are you from, anyway if you contact your distributor you can order any of this boards.
You will find here all the Starboard Distributors contact : http://www.star-board.com/2013/home/shops.php
All the best
|22nd January 2013 09:19 PM
krister: NO used US' nor Phantoms in my area
remi: merci pour les informations
there seem to be NO Phantom 320s in my area
for this year i have some sails to replace
butt i always look to the future and how to better my quiver
SB looked like the right stuff and you gave some options
the stuff i look at seems pretty specialized and difficult to find used and new
continue de faire les videos svp ils sont tr�s appreci�s
merci encore !!
|22nd January 2013 12:25 AM
Hi Unregistered,
If you are looking for inexpensive price, you have the Wood version, then Technora, then Ast etc.
For the Race Board recommend you the Phantom Race 320 if you are 80Kgs + or the Phantom 295 under and both are in Ast.
If you are looking for a inexpensive Formula Board we have the Formula Experience One Design who is Ast who is also far better than the Bic. But again is Formula board with his advantages and disadvantage.
For the UltraSonic 147 this board exist in 2 Technologies and deliver with fin each time in Carbon and Wood, the Wood anyway will be way lighter than the Bic and perform better in planning acceleration and speed on reach.
The last all the boards I mention are deliver with fins.
Hope you will find in this what will be your choice. Then if still to expensive then you can look for this boards as second hand.
Hope this will help.
All the best
|21st January 2013 03:33 PM
|Just buy second-hand then, the cost of a 2-3 year old board is very low compared to what you get.
|21st January 2013 02:56 PM
How are average joes supposed to afford these boards?
in my current windsurf quiver i have two(2) boards that i would replace with SB products
i have a Fanatic Ultra CAT longboard of 210 liters , 374 cm length and 66 cm width
as a heavyweight this is the best longboard i have ridden
the obvious replacement would be a Phantom 377 of 263 liters, 377 cm length and 67 cm width
this board new would cost me $3500 taxes in {reduced price on 2012 version}
how is an average joe like me supposed to afford this ??
even half price used = forget about it
{not so sure about those flimsy looking batwings - prefer the 295 look}
my other favourite board is a BIC Techno Formula of 170 liters, 267 cm length and 94 cm width
as a heavyweight this is the best light wind early planer i have ridden
the obvious replacement would be a SB US of 147 liters, 240 cm length and 93 cm width
this board new would cost me $2500 taxes in {reduced price on 2012 version}
once again - how is an average joe like me supposed to afford this ??
half price is affordable, butt where is one to find such a deal ??
fortunately these boards DO come with fins - otherwise it is another $200 + for specialized fins
first the sport of windsurfing went out of the average joe's reach with the racy short boards
now it feels like it is going to go out of reach merely by inflated cost
there is one SB US in my city and NO SB Phantoms {then again i seem to be the only longboarder - besides the KONA}
in my life i managed to purchase one board new and one sail new
now this is all beyond my means
hope i can keep finding good used stuff to keep my quiver going
good luck with sales in 2013 !!!!

BP is fighting the settlement it agreed to last summer that let the oil company avoid thousands of potential lawsuits over the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
Just after the spill, when oil was still gushing into the Gulf, BP touted the $20 billion it set aside for claims. But now it says the claim process is corrupt and is hoping a court will overturn the settlement that established the claims fund.
Ending the claims would mean stopping a well-oiled machine.

Almost any kind of comeback gets New Orleans excited, since the city lost so much in the flood after Hurricane Katrina. That goes especially for food.
One year ago Saturday, New Orleans lost a beloved brand when Hubig's pie bakery burned to the ground. The hand-held, fruit-filled crescents, fried golden-brown, had been delivered fresh to more than 1,000 local stores each morning.
Pie fans have come out in droves to support the company. But it takes more than T-shirts and fond memories to restart a business from scratch.

Last year when New Orleans' main paper, The Times-Picayune, laid off dozens of newspaper employees and cut its circulation to three times a week, residents were shocked.
Sharron Morrow and her friends had bonded over the morning paper at a local coffee shop for the past 20 years.
"I've stopped my subscription, and I mourn the paper almost every day," she says.

The Medical Laboratory Science option provides the student with the scientific knowledge, technical skills, and hands-on experience required to function in all areas of the clinical laboratory.
Successful completion of the required course sequence results in the awarding of a Bachelor of Science degree. The granting of the degree is not dependent upon students passing any type of external licensure or certification examination. Students who choose to take these examinations do so on a voluntary basis after they have graduated from the program. The academic requirements of the Medical Laboratory Science option in the Clinical Laboratory Sciences major fulfill the University's general education course requirements and major course requirements for graduation as well as the curriculum requirements for the national certification examinations.
Medical Laboratory Science Option of Clinical Laboratory Science B.S. degree program
Admission to the Medical Laboratory Science Program is a two-step process.
Qualified students will be accepted on a space available basis.
Selection will be based primarily on:
Students will be notified of decisions by the UMass Lowell email. For further information and an application form please contact:
Kristin Palladino, Program Director
On-campus instruction provides students with didactic and simulated clinical laboratory experiences in each of the six major areas of the clinical laboratory: chemistry, hematology, immunohematology, microbiology, molecular diagnostics, and immunology. Hospital-based clinical rotations are integrated with the didactic laboratory curriculum during the junior and senior years of the program and supervised by adjunct clinical faculty in cooperation with the program director and staff. Clinical assignments are made by the program director and professional staff. Students must provide their own transportation for their clinical internships. While students are on clinical rotations they will not be engaged as employees and as such will not be covered by the hospital programs of social security or unemployment compensation; in recognition and support of this, student performances must be reviewed and co-signed by a recognized approved staff member of the clinical laboratory. Students will not be used in place of employees. Students who work for clinical affiliates do so voluntarily outside the normally scheduled clinical practica hours with pay and supervision, and are subject to the institutional employee regulations.
Clinical internships (practicum) are five weeks long during the semester and are scheduled for half the week. We recommend that students not work during the five weeks that they are on these internships as they will also be taking courses at the University. When not on clinical rotations, this time is unscheduled. We recommend that students use this time to study for their classes.
The Medical Laboratory Science program is offered in cooperation with the following clinical affiliates:

The line goes: "with great power comes great responsibility." But in the case of Kensington's latest iPhone 5 desktop charger, great power just comes with great versatility. The AbsolutePower USB dock is the leading accessory maker's newest Apple charging dock. But it's also quite possibly one of the best accessories of its kind.
Super versatile, the AbsolutePower dock pulls double duty, both syncing and charging not just your iPhone 5, but your iPod Nano and iPod Touch too.
A lot of thought has been put into the design of this Apple desktop charger. For starters, it's sleek and compact, so it'll take up a minimal amount of space on your desk at home or at work. And its non-slip case means that it won't be sliding all over the place either. And if you're in a hurry, you don't even need to worry about removing your phone from its case.
But that's hardly the coolest thing about this iPhone accessory. And we at Pure Mobile have a hunch that it's called the AbsolutePower USB dock because it's one charger to rule them all.
Sure, it works great as desktop iPhone charger. But thanks to its USB to AC power adapter, it's easy to convert it into a portable charger that draws power via USB rather than a wall outlet. And since it's so compact, it's really easy to just toss this charge and sync stand into your bag and take it to go.
So, aside from doubling as a stand for face-time chats, and a desktop charger and syncer for multiple Apple devices, it's also a portable charger. It kind of makes you wonder if there's anything this iPhone dock doesn't do.
After knowing what Kensington's latest can do, it seems pretty clear that the AbsolutePower USB Dock is among the best iPhone docks – and maybe even the best iPhone accessories – to come our way in some time.

Product 4/14
Pattern delivered as an electronic download.
This skinny tee is my favorite pattern so far! The Flashback Tee is a not-too-tight (but definitely fitted) skinny tee sewing pattern for knits in sizes 12 months – 5T that you can customize in endless ways. The instant-download sewing pattern comes to you as an 18-page PDF eBook with full color photographs and pattern pieces, a printable instruction summary sheet, and three alternate neck and hem finishes. You'll find this pattern to be simple, easy to follow, and quick! Some experience sewing knits is highly recommended.
12-18 months, 18-24 months, 2T, 3T, 4T, 5T
For the main part of the shirt, a stretchy jersey, interlock, or 1×1 rib will work nicely. Upcycling old knit garments into new skinny tees works great too! You will also need less than a 1/4 yard of rib knit for the cuffs (stretchy jersey or interlock may also be substituted).
sewing machine (a serger is not needed, but you may certainly use one to sew/finish your seams)
ballpoint or stretch needle for machine
OPTIONAL: walking foot and/or double needle (see this post)
This is a "confident beginner" pattern. I've provided detailed step-by-steps, photos, and hints to help you along the way. However, I do recommend that you have at least some knowledge of and practice with sewing knits before you start (this pattern is not designed to teach someone how to sew with knits; it assumes that you have the experience and equipment necessary to sew simple knit seams with ease). A pretty big factor in all of this is having a decent sewing machine that can handle knits. You may find this post on hemming knits helpful as well. I'm always happy to help as best I can by answering your questions via email!
The skinny tee is designed to fit an average-sized child in each age range for as long as possible. For example: for an average-sized 2 year old, the 2T tee should be a bit big when the child turns two, and a bit more snug as they near the age of three. Please use the measurements on the size chart provided in the pattern to select the size you need (not necessarily the size your child normally wears). You can add/subtract 1″ at the bottom of both the body and sleeve when going up or down a size to adjust the length. The fabric you choose will also determine how fitted it is. Thin jerseys and knits with less stretch will usually give you a skinnier fit, while stretchy interlocks and knits with less recovery tend to fit a little looser.
Designer Terms of Use: Home sewists are welcome to sell handmade garments made from this pattern in your shops, craft fairs, etc. I'd appreciate pattern credit on tags and listings. No mass or factory production please.

High school baseball players in New England understand there are two phases to their season – chilly and warm. April is usually rainy and cool until the final week of the month. Players must deal with the conditions and try to persevere, knowing the warmth of May is eventually going to arrive.
With the temperature climbing to 76 degrees on Sunday, there's a hint that warmer weather is right around the corner. That's good because the division races are starting to take shape and some of this week's games are pretty interesting.
For instance, Tolman High will host unbeaten Johnston this afternoon at McCoy Stadium. The Tigers are 5-2 in Division II-Central and need to make a statement pretty soon. Central High (7-0) leads the Central Division. Tolman dropped an 8-7 verdict to the Dragons. Its other loss is an inexplicable 4-2 defeat to a 1-4 Classical team. How good is Tolman? We may start learning the answer today.
Johnston could be the class of Division II. It has outscored opponents by a 75-16 margin so far this season. Woonsocket, 6-1, is second in the North behind the Panthers and has outscored its foes, 39-13. The Villa Novans, who host Mount Hope (3-4) this afternoon, have relied on strong pitching and timely hitting this season to stay on Johnston's heels.
Woonsocket has a big week on tap. After today's home game, the Novans visit Central on Wednesday and Tolman on Thursday.
Among other area teams, Ponaganset is 3-3 in Division II-North and Central Falls checks in at 2-4. Burrillville and North Smithfield are both 2-5 as the regular season heads to its midway point.
Shea High is 3-3 in Division II-Central. The Raiders beat a 5-2 Juanita Sanchez team on Friday by a 4-2 margin and could be warming up with the weather. They visit Exeter/West Greenwich, 3-3, this afternoon.
Up in Division I, Lincoln High is sailing along with a 7-0 record, good for a two-game lead in the North over Moses Brown (5-2). Cumberland and La Salle are 4-3 and tied for third place. St. Raphael Academy is fifth with a 3-4 mark and Mount St. Charles sits in sixth place with a 2-5 mark.
Any of these local teams can make a move in the second half of the regular season as the weather warms. The Saints beat Cumberland last week. Mount whipped SRA before dropping a tough 6-5 verdict to Cumberland. There's not much difference between the teams chasing Lincoln. It really comes down to who has the most pitching and which team executes the fundamental plays over the final month of the regular season.
Lincoln has a tough road game scheduled on Tuesday afternoon against a 5-2 Cranston West team that is one game behind Hendricken in the always-tough Central Division.
The schedule-maker did Cumberland no favors this week. The Clippers host 7-0 North Kingstown, which has outscored its foes 79-15 this season, on Tuesday afternoon, then visit Hendricken on Thursday. That's a tough week.
St. Raphael Academy visits 1-6 Warwick Veterans on Tuesday and 5-1 East Greenwich on Thursday.
Mount St. Charles, which could be 4-3 if not for two one-run losses already this season, hosts East Greenwich on Tuesday and visits 3-4 Toll Gate on Thursday. At some point soon, the Mounties are going to have to start winning games they have been losing. This is too good a team not to be competing with more success in Division I.

Captain's Report by Capt. Steve--
Mission Statement
The new Tigé Z1 was created to provide the ultimate platform for creating the "perfect wake" for whatever aspects of watersports are chosen at any given time, in a smaller, more affordable package. Not only can the desired wake be dialed in, but the Tigé Touch panel allows the specific parameters to be recalled at the touch of a button for each person being towed. She is also intended to appeal to people wanting an attractive general-purpose sportboat and still have the safety aspects of inboard power.
With classic styling of a sportboat the Z1 is all about creating that perfect wave. An aft facing spotter's seat is directly across from the helm.
Major Features
• Aggressive bottom design. The Z-Series bottoms have been completely redesigned for aggressive functionality.
• Competitive price. Tigé specifically designed the Z1 to be competitively priced against any contenders in the inboard runabout class.
• Exceptional handling and maneuverability. All of our tests on Tigé boats have validated their fine handling characteristics without regard to whether we were cruising, ballasted or light.
• Maximum 8-degree list. For creating the ultimate surf wake, the boat is ballasted to one side. With ballast sacks filled to maximum, the Z1 will only exhibit a maximum list of 8-degrees providing prime surfing output while still maintaining a safe running attitude.
• Balance of space. Even with the roomy cockpit seating there is still plenty of space at the bow for lounging or sunning. A vast improvement over the old style Z1.
Tigé's Alpha Z tower is an award-winning design that adds style and functionality. Notice the integral docking lights, color-matched wet sounds speakers and swivel board racks.
There's something very unique about the styling of a Tigé boat. For example, the Z1 has some traditional features, such as the pointed bow, but as the eye moves back some aggressive styling details start to come into play. Molded-in contour lines, high freeboard and stylish graphics are all signals that a Tigé is on the loose. Add a stylish Alpha Z tower and the Z1 generates gawkers and dock envy.
The styling of a Tigé has as much to do with its appeal as the performance and handling characteristics. She has one of the deepest cockpits in class.
The Full Spectrum...
First things first... how can Tigé make a boat that performs across the full spectrum, and just what is that spectrum anyway? Well, first it needs to be understood that a slalom skier is going to want to have a smooth, shallow wake for keeping up speed while going back and forth across the boat's wake and wash without stumbling. To get a shallow wake on a typical boat, it must go faster so that it planes on top of the water better. But a skier can only be towed so fast. They need a mid range speed in order to stay in control.
A wakeboarder, on the other hand, wants a fat wake to jump off of and get serious air as he flies across from side to side. To get a fat wake, a typical boat must have the bow up high and the stern dragging. That means slowing down which does the wakeboarder no good for high jumps. So what to do?
Planing isn't a problem as most boats will do it at a moderate speed. So the slalom guy is happy. To get the wake up, all that's required is to keep the speed and sink the boat lower. That means adding ballast by filling tanks or removable bags called "fat sacs". But Tigé adds one more dimension.
Playing T.A.P.S.
T.A.P.S. stands for Tigé Adjustable Performance System, and it's exactly as the name implies. Instead of the hull dropping down slightly in the stern like other wakeboats, Tigé's hull has a slight rise, which Tigé calls Convex-V, and behind that, at the transom, is a plate that is adjustable at the helm to control the characteristics of the hull, and therefore, the wake.
The TAPS plate is adjustable much like a trim tab, but it's function is vastly different.
Presto, now we have a planing boat with a light wake, and at the touch of a switch to lower and raise the plate, the operator can squat the stern to increase the wake. For even fatter wakes, add more ballast. It's performance heaven for watersports enthusiasts and this system is on every Tigé hull.
The Perks
Not only does this offer great wake control, but also impressive boat performance at the same time. Thanks to her triple hull tracking fins, the Z1 runs straight, there's very little slide so there's no falling off the turn or losing control.
Since this is a V-drive installation, there's more room in the cockpit without having to work around a bulky engine box in the middle of the boat. PCM engines not only have four engine mounts, but an additional two under the transmission as well. That translates into less vibration and less discomfort for the passengers.
What Makes a Z Series?
The new Z series boats have completely refined aspects of the successful Convex V hull including adjusted characteristics of the deadrise parameters. This was a natural evolution of the design that took what was arguably the best wakeboat and made it into the best wakeboat/surf boat combination.
The result allows operators to create a longer and more crisp wake allowing more room to advance as skills increase. This is without a doubt a professional level boat, yet also allows those new to the sport to cut their teeth with more docile wave characteristics until they are ready for big wake.
The interiors have been redesigned as well -- creating what is among the deepest freeboards in the industry. Secure seating while inside the deep cockpit is of paramount importance especially with the boat at an 8-degree maximum surf wake attitude.
Features Walkthrough
The bow of previous Z1 models has historically been a bit cramped, but this new style creates a good balance of space between the bow playpen and the cockpit. While it's still not large enough for say, a cockpit table, it is large enough to be enjoyed by two people. Padded bolsters run nearly 360-degrees with the exception of the walk-through windshield, adding comfort regardless of where one is sitting. A cooler is located fully forward under a filler cushion.
The bow of the Z1 is now more of a comfortable gathering area thanks to the balance of space between it and the cockpit.
The helm of the new Z1 has been given a complete redesign and is now more reminiscent of a high-end luxury sports car than a wakeboat. Gauge clutter is reduced thanks to the multifunction display of the Tigé Touch. Operator comfort has been given much more attention with the development of a new captain's chair with flip-up armrests and a reclining adjustment.
The Z1 helm shown here highlights improvements made to the styling of the overall operator station.
Tigé Touch allows control of all of the boats parameters… from nav lights to stereo… from towing speed to trim...all at the touch of a finger.
The cockpit offers wraparound seating that is as plush as any in class. Storage can be found underneath the seats. Vinyl is stitched with high-end Gore-Tenera thread which is not only UV-resistant, but has a high tensile strength.
The center transom walk-through offers a flip out cushion creating a full beam sunpad. The lower seat cushion lifts out to reveal a non-skid step. Check out the different textures, patterns and hand-sewn quilting. This really shows multiple levels of quality that go into the Z1 interior.
The stern is as much a gathering and relaxing spot as it is a staging area for putting on boards. The swim platform is low to the water eliminating the need for a reboarding ladder. Storage is located under the sunpad cushions as well as in the transom.
The flip-up transom creates an ideal spot for wet storage. Notice the grab handle in the center of the transom making it easier to pull oneself up onto the swim platform.
It's hard to imagine a more ideal boat for creating that perfect wake for wakeboarding or wake surfing. The Z1 has virtually everything one could desire packaged together in a size that easily transportable.
Because she has a slightly higher freeboard forward than some other inboard ski/wake boats the Z1 is also a viable alternative to a conventional sterndrive sportboat for general use. The added advantage is that she has the safety inherent in inboard power.
Because she still carries the classic features of a sportboat, the Z1 also makes an excellent family runabout.

Quick locking mechanism (MedEasyLock®, QLS®, SnapN)
Increasing customer requirements and various product developments from the last few years caused an important trend in the connector market. The new quick lock connectors increasingly replace the usual threaded connectors like SMA and N.
Important advantages of the quick lock connectors over threaded connectors
IMS Connector Systems offers three Quick Lock connector series. These are QLS, SnapN and MedEasyLock®.
MedEasyLock® - Optimized connectors for use in medical applications
The MedEasyLock® connectors are based on the 4.1/9.5 and 3.5/9.5 connectors. But instead of a threaded mechanism "MedEasyLock®" connectors have an innovative quick-lock coupling mechanism. The MedEasyLock® series was especially developed and optimized for use in medical equipment. Further well suitable applications for MedEasyLock® connectors are RF units in which high frequencies are transmitted like BTS systems in the telecom market.
Functional description
QLS® - The innovative alternative to SMA connectors
The QLS® (Quick Lock Standard) connectors feature similar interface dimensions like the SMA connectors. The difference is that instead of a threaded coupling, a quick-lock mechanism is being used. Therefore QLS® is an innovative alternative to all SMA connectors. The QLS®'s locking mechanism is unique in the connector market and offers important benefits.
Functional description
SnapN - backwards compatible to N connectors
The SnapN connector range is backwards compatible with N connectors. It means that SnapN jacks (f) can be mated with N plugs (m).

(3) in the case of a student who received such a loan before September 29, 1995, an amount up to 85 per centum of any such loan made before such date (plus interest thereon) shall be canceled for full-time employment as a professional nurse (including teaching in any of the fields of nurse training and service as an administrator, supervisor, or consultant in any of the fields of nursing) in any public or nonprofit private agency, institution, or organization (including neighborhood health centers), at the rate of 15 per centum of the amount of such loan (plus interest) unpaid on the first day of such service for each of the first, second, and third complete year of such service, and 20 per centum of such amount (plus interest) for each complete fourth and fifth year of such service;
(4) the liability to repay the unpaid balance of such loan and accrued interest thereon shall be canceled upon the death of the borrower, or if the Secretary determines that he has become permanently and totally disabled;
(5) such a loan shall bear interest on the unpaid balance of the loan, computed only for periods during which the loan is repayable, at the rate of 5 percent per annum;
(6) such a loan shall be made without security or endorsement, except that if the borrower is a minor and the note or other evidence of obligation executed by him would not, under the applicable law, create a binding obligation, either security or endorsement may be required;
(7) no note or other evidence of any such loan may be transferred or assigned by the school making the loan except that, if the borrower transfers to another school participating in the program under this part such note or other evidence of a loan may be transferred to such other school; and
(8) pursuant to uniform criteria established by the Secretary, the repayment period established under paragraph (2) for any student borrower who during the repayment period failed to make consecutive payments and who, during the last 12 months of the repayment period, has made at least 12 consecutive payments may be extended for a period not to exceed 10 years.
(c) Cancellation
Where all or any part of a loan, or interest, is canceled under this section, the Secretary shall pay to the school an amount equal to the school's proportionate share of the canceled portion, as determined by the Secretary.

An agreement under this part with any school shall include provisions designed to make loans from the student loan fund established thereunder reasonably available (to the extent of the available funds in such fund) to all eligible students in the school in need thereof.
(f) Penalty for late payment
Subject to regulations of the Secretary and in accordance with this section, a school shall assess a charge with respect to a loan from the loan fund established pursuant to an agreement under this part for failure of the borrower to pay all or any part of an installment when it is due and, in the case of a borrower who is entitled to deferment of the loan under subsection (b)(2) of this section or cancellation of part or all of the loan under subsection (b)(3) of this section, for any failure to file timely and satisfactory evidence of such entitlement. No such charge may be made if the payment of such installment or the filing of such evidence is made within 60 days after the date on which such installment or filing is due. The amount of any such charge may not exceed an amount equal to 6 percent of the amount of such installment. The school may elect to add the amount of any such charge to the principal amount of the loan as of the first day after the day on which such installment or evidence was due, or to make the amount of the charge payable to the school not later than the due date of the next installment after receipt by the borrower of notice of the assessment of the charge.
(g) Minimum monthly repayment
A school may provide in accordance with regulations of the Secretary, that during the repayment period of a loan from a loan fund established pursuant to an agreement under this part payments of principal and interest by the borrower with respect to all the outstanding loans made to him from loan funds so established shall be at a rate equal to not less than $40 per month.
(h) Loan cancellation
