I saw the same thing. I've seen this quite a bit more than usual with the Wings as of late. If I remember correctly, after we blew a few big leads (Blues in Jan-3 goal lead; Coyotes in March-3 goal lead, Edmonton in Jan, etc...)....you started hearing the players talking about practicing "getting the puck behind there (opposing team's) D, and battling for the puck down low". I understand this being effective when you have the lead, but I've been seeing it more and more when we DON'T have the lead. Scary. This team thrives on offensive creativity and puck possesion. We are not built to be a dump and chase team. Jiri Hudler is not a player you want dumping and chasing-he's like 5' 7''. Dats, Modano, Cleary,....not dump and chase. At any rate, want to see the Wings get back to their style that's made them so effective.
He seriouly doesn't even look like he's trying.
How about late in the game, we've got a potential 3-on-2, and he juts dumps it in on the goalie who freezes the puck. Seriously Johan?
Start moving your feet, start going to dangerous areas, start hitting, shooting, just show some effort. It's infuriating.
In this same spirit, I've been pretty critical of Babs as of late. He's got to figure this out and I'll be watching what he does as the playoff's approach. In my eyes, pressure is on Babs this year come playoff time.

Wherein I Surprise MyselfRachel Matthews
I have discovered something about myself, something that surprised and delighted me.
I am a runner at heart.
I have always been athletic, always loved to play sports and be outside – but I would never in a million years have thought that I would be someone who loved to run.
Earlier this year some friends talked me into doing the Color Me Rad 5K with them. {and it was awesome}
I had every intention of training for it, but I just couldn't get motivated. I did the 5K, but I only ran the first and last little bits of it. I was proud of myself for doing even that little bit, but I wanted to do more.
Color Me Rad was a blast, and our group immediately started searching for other fun 5K type things that we could do. I swear y'all, I didn't even recognize myself. Voluntarily wanting to run or do obstacle courses – who is this girl???
Inspired by the fun we had, and the feeling of accomplishment and pride that I felt, I decided to give running a try. I want to cross the finish line with my team.
I put on my big girl shoes, downloaded the Couch to 5K app and got started.
On Day 1, I could barely jog for 1 minute without feeling winded and wanting to stop.
Today, I finished Week3 Day 3. I ran two stretches of 3 minutes a piece without stopping.
There are days of it that I've repeated, because I won't move on until I can finish each running cycle without stopping, and with each change in the running cycle I feel a little trepidation, a little gnawing of doubt that I won't be able to do it. Each time I feel that, I lace up my shoes, pop in my earphones and I put fear in its place.
With each day and each new accomplishment, I discover a part of myself that's stronger than I realized.
I am proud of myself, and I like that feeling.
I like what running is doing for my mind, my stress level, and of course for my body. When I exercise I find that I pay more attention to what I put in my body, I'm more conscious of how what I eat (and drink) makes me feel.
I'm still new at this, but I'm loving it.

Injuries and illnesses rates down again in 2005
October 20, 2006
Nonfatal workplace injuries and illnesses occurred at a rate of 4.6 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers among private industry employers in 2005. This was a decline from the 2004 rate of 4.8 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers.
Goods-producing industries as a whole had an injury and illness incidence rate of 6.2 cases per 100 full-time workers, while service-providing industries had a rate of 4.1 cases per 100 full-time workers. The incidence rate for goods-producing industries declined by 0.3 cases per 100 equivalent full-time workers and the rate for service-providing industries fell by 0.1 case per 100 equivalent full-time workers compared to the rates reported for 2004.
Among goods-producing industry sectors, incidence rates during 2005 ranged from 3.6 cases per 100 full-time workers in mining to 6.3 cases per 100 full-time workers in construction and in manufacturing. Among service-providing industry sectors, incidence rates ranged from 1.0 case per 100 full-time workers in finance and insurance to 7.0 cases per 100 full-time workers in transportation and warehousing.
Data from the BLS Injuries, Illnesses and Fatalities program provide a wide range of information about workplace injuries and illnesses by industry sector. Additional information is available from "Workplace Injuries and Illnesses in 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 06-1816.

Summers at Skirball
On a recent afternoon at the Skirball Cultural Center in the Sepulveda Pass, a little girl with a big red bow in her hair sat in a photo booth at the end of the "Monsters and Miracles" exhibit, printing out a souvenir bookmark.
"She heard we were coming to the museum and wanted to dress fancy," her mother said.
The museum, it turns out, is a destination for kids this summer.
"Monsters and Miracles: A Journey Through Jewish Picture Books" offers a look at Jewish culture through the lens of the storybook. Headphones with celebrity recorded readings, shelves of books and interactive activities keep the kids enthralled while adults enjoy the original artwork of Eric Carle, Maurice Sendak, Uri Shulevitz, and Margret and H.A. Rey.
"Monsters and Miracles" closes Aug. 1, but the Noah's Ark permanent installation remains a strong draw for kids with its menagerie of animals made of repurposed materials, climbing structures, and dozens of cranks, handles and pumps for kids to activate.
The Drop-In Art Studio, open during museum hours through Sept. 5, has baskets full of yarn, fabric and colorful fasteners that kids can use to create burlap books or fanciful creatures.
Saturday and Sunday afternoons through Labor Day weekend, the Skirball hosts family-oriented performances at its amphitheater, including Aaron Nigel Smith from PBS' "Between the Lions"; circus arts performers Kinetic Theory; family dance and drum circles; and the music and dance of Africa, China, Japan and Micronesia.

The West Contra Costa Unified School District (W.C.C.U.S.D.) has long experienced problems of chronic school truancy and high rates of juvenile delinquency. The district encompasses 6 cities (the largest being Richmond, north of San Francisco) and serves 31,348 students, of whom 51 percent are from low-income families (qualifying for free or reduced-price lunches) and more than 75 percent are African-American, Latino, or other minorities.
In 1995, more than 16 percent of the total student body was designated chronically truant as a result of three or more consecutive unexcused absences. Using crime-mapping techniques, police identified a strong relationship between truancy and juvenile crime activities. Juvenile burglary rates were particularly high during school hours, a problem attributed to large numbers of youth being out of school. However, in 1996, only 41 percent of youth on probation were enrolled in school, 44 percent had dropped out of the school district entirely, and there were no school records on the remaining 15 percent.
The Truancy Enforcement Program is a cooperative effort of six county law enforcement agencies, the County Probation Department, and W.C.C.U.S.D. and is coordinated by the Richmond Police Department. Police officers conduct intensive sweeps throughout the school district and deliver truant youth to the School Welfare and Attendance Team (SWAT) office, where probation staff and district school staff assess the level of truancy of each youth based on school records and determine a course of action. Parents are called and must pick up their children to return them to school. Youth who have not been enrolled in school are either enrolled in school at that time or placed in one of the alternative school programs. Parents and youth are counseled regarding the State Education Code's compulsory attendance requirements and are provided with recommendations for remediating truancy and nonenrollment problems. Youth with a history of chronic truancy are referred to the Student Attendance Review Board (SARB), which is made up of nine representatives from social service agencies and youth-serving organizations. Parents and students are required to attend a hearing before SARB to discuss factors contributing to the student's poor attendance (e.g., fear of violence, illiteracy, substance abuse) and to institute a contracted plan of action.
In addition to the intensive sweeps to pick up truant youth, local police officers are encouraged to make contact with all youth on the street during school hours. Students without a written excuse for being out of school are transported to the SWAT office.
The multiagency truancy enforcement efforts were immediately productive. In the first 4-day intensive sweep, March 1114, 1996, 175 youth were picked up, of whom 118 were taken to the SWAT office, 26 were taken directly to school, 25 were taken home, and 6 were arrested. Two months later (May 1317), another 4-day sweep netted 176 youth: 84 were taken to the SWAT office, 42 were taken back to school, 46 were taken home, and 4 were arrested. At third sweep, November 1921, 1996, resulted in 110 youth being taken to the SWAT office, taken back to school, or returned home. More than 460 youth were picked up in the 1996 sweeps; 669 youth were picked up in three sweeps conducted in 1997; and in 1998, three intensive sweeps resulted in 840 youth being returned to school. In addition to the intensive truancy sweeps, officers of all six enforcement agencies have stepped up regular beat activity (by 35 percent since the previous year) by identifying and picking up truant youth whom they see or who are reported to be on the streets.
Student enrollment figures increased by 1,561 students (a 5-percent increase) from 199495 to 199798 (an increase attributed partly to the truancy enforcement program and population growth), and the rate of truancy dropped dramatically. The program is reported to have evoked a positive response from the entire school community. Police appreciate the program because it helps keep youth off the streets and reduces juvenile crime. Responses from parents of truant students have been overwhelmingly positive. In addition, community residents regularly call the SWAT office to report that youth are on the streets during school hours. The program is not punitive, and even the youth have acknowledged that they prefer to be in school.
The Richmond Police Department's role in the Truancy Enforcement Program is one component of the city's initiative to reduce gun violence. The W.C.C.U.S.D. Truancy Enforcement Program is also being replicated by other cities in the East Bay Corridor.
Finally, the East Bay Public Safety Corridor Partnership (see profile 5) is assisting W.C.C.U.S.D. in developing a comprehensive Truancy Reduction Program that includes the Truancy Enforcement Program, SafeFutures Probation Aftercare, Family/Schools Community Partnership, Girls Mentoring, and Family Preservation Services.

While most of Warren Buffett 's $63 billion fortune is wrapped up in Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B), he does own other stocks that are beyond the prying eyes of the media.
One sector where Buffett has found value over the past few years is banking. Berkshire's #1 stock holding is Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), with Berkshire owning 8.8% of the bank. Back in 2011, Berkshire invested $5 billion in Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) in exchange for preferred shares.
In a 2012 interview with CNBC, Buffett revealed that he personally owns shares of JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), although Berkshire does not. Buffett has praised JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon for writing the best annual reports in the business.
There's no way to know for sure that Buffett is still an owner of JPMorgan -- but by all indications, he still loves big banks. (My colleague David Sterman recently profiled another reviled big bank that's deserving of investors' attention.)
Berkshire has been buying more and more shares of Wells Fargo since 2012. And earlier this year, the firm locked itself into owning Bank of America's preferred shares until 2019.
Even though the banks have rebounded nicely from their lows after the financial crisis, there could still be further upside. All the major banks have underperformed the market over the past year. Shares of JPMorgan are up a mere 5.1% compared with the S&P 500 Index and the Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF), which are up 17.2% and 10.9%, respectively.
This month, JPMorgan beat second-quarter earnings forecasts with $1.46 a share, above the Wall Street consensus of $1.30. The company posted a smaller decline in trading revenues than expected, and its deposits, card sales volume, client investment assets and business banking loan originations were all up year-over-year during the quarter.
Its book value was up to $55.50 at the end of the second quarter, which puts shares trading at a price-to-book (P/B) ratio of just under 1.1. Meanwhile, Wells Fargo is trading at 1.65 times book value. JPMorgan also trades at a forward P/E ratio that's below Wells Fargo and Bank of America.
Assuming the markets for M&A activity and IPOs remain robust, JPMorgan could be one of the biggest benefactors. One of the top advisors when it comes to M&A and IPOs, its J.P. Morgan investment bank remains the top generator of global investment banking fees. During the second quarter, its advisory fees were up 31% year over year and equity-underwriting fees were up 4%.
JPMorgan has been preparing for higher rates for some time. With employment on the rise and GDP growth strengthening, Wall Street expects the Federal Reserve to start raising rates in mid-2015. (My colleague Joseph Hogue looked at why the market may be misreading the Fed's intentions on interest rates.)
JPMorgan has revamped its investment portfolio, where it's been investing in short-term maturities so that it can reinvest as rates rise. The other key is that it has spent the past four years amassing a large deposit base. With deposits of around $1.3 trillion, the bank is the largest in the U.S. by deposits, which is a huge positive. As short-term rates start to rise, JPMorgan can invest these deposits at higher rates, earning more income with little risk.
JPMorgan's dividend pays an enticing 2.7% yield, and the bank expects to complete a $6.5 billion buyback plan that it introduced in April by next spring.
Risks to Consider: JPMorgan is not immune to another slowdown in the global economy. Trading revenues have been in decline across the industry, which could put further pressure on earnings.
Action to Take --> Follow Buffett's lead and buy JPMorgan Chase for upside to $70, a gain of 18% from current levels. The bank is positioned to profit from higher rates and has one of the industry's best CEOs at the helm.

COLUMBIANA - A new athletic director will replace Bob Spaite this June for the city school district.
Spaite stepped down from the position in January, citing the position's heavy workload as a reason. He is still coaching football for the Clippers, but his assistant, Erin Heasley, will be taking over the AD position.
The move was approved by the school board Tuesday.
Heasley has spent the last five years working as Spaite's assistant for the AD position. She has been employed with the district since 1997 when she was first brought on as varsity volleyball coach.
She has continued coaching in the district over the years, serving as assistant varsity softball coach and junior high volleyball and basketball coach.
The district brought her on as a teacher in 2003, and she currently teaches seventh and eighth grade social studies.
She said she went for the AD position because she has a "love for athletics."
"I'm excited to be able to work with all of the coaches and athletes. Bob and I worked together very well. Hopefully it's a smooth transition," she said.
Superintendent Don Mook said the job was posted internally after Spaite's retirement announcement and that it was clear Heasley was the right candidate.
"She is more than qualified ... She is very organized and detailed. Her athletic background is extensive," he said.
Heasley said she is currently pursuing a master's degree in athletic administration through Ohio University's online program.
She was awarded a one-year supplemental contract and will earn $5,954 a year, although Treasurer Lori Posey noted that figure could change following negotiations this spring.
In other business, the board approved:
- The retirement resignation of Holly Downing, middle school aide and part-time custodian, and the retirement resignation of Nadine Martin, high school art teacher, both effective June 1.
- David Gigee as assistant softball coach.
- Peggy Mills as part-time custodian, 186 days a year, retroactive to Jan. 18, for the 2012-13 school year.
- Debra Ulam as part-time high school secretary, 186 days a year for the 2012-12 school year.
- Elizabeth Coffey as tutor for the 2012-13 school year at a rate of $24.25 per hour, retroactive to Jan. 28.
- A change in salary for teacher Amy McCormick.
- Five people as substitute teachers and six people as volunteers.
- Payment in lieu of transportation for two students.
- A first reading of policies relating to the use of medications, payment of accrued, unused vacation leave and school calendar.

Boston, MA (PRWEB) August 20, 2013
With a small group of testers anxiously waiting, ITM Financial released its binary options 60 second and 5 minute indicators this week. The indicators are designed to give traders an advantage in the quickly evolving binary options market. The indicators, which help predict the movement of a certain option over the next 60 seconds or 5 minute time frame, have strong demand among day traders in Europe, the US, and Asia. "The amount of downloads and testing of the indicators was really fantastic for the first few days," added CEO, Curt Dalton. "With a success rate of over 65% and many traders wanting more advanced products, we consider the first 24 hours a huge success," added Dalton.
Binary options can be traded on worldwide platforms and include such asset classes as currencies, commodities, stocks, and futures. "You can basically trade the direction of Apple stock, the EUR.USD currency pair, or even gold, all in the same 60 second or 5 minute time frame," added Ali Khan, CTO of ITM Financial. "It gives traders a quick way to hedge an equity position without having to risk a ton of capital," added Khan.
ITM Financial develops trading tools for financial firms and traders in the forex market as well as the binary options market. Their soon to be released US stock market picking software is creating a large buzz among hedge funds and traders who use scalping techniques. "Right now everyone in the trading world is looking to gain an advantage in their knowledge base. If we can give traders a new insight or angle they haven't seen before, then that could lead to tremendous profits." added Dalton. "The 60 second indicators and 5 minute indicators give the trader just that, a glimpse into which direction an asset is going to move in a very short time period.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- On one of the first drills of New England Patriots training camp in 2010, coach Bill Belichick had the football placed at the 2-yard line. The message couldn't have been any clearer.
After a 2009 season in which red zone struggles were too prevalent -- too many field goals, not enough touchdowns -- getting better production in that area was going to be a primary point of emphasis over the course of the year.
The plan ultimately worked, the tone set on the first training camp practice.
Fast-forward to the present season, and the timing is right to highlight the 2012 version of the 2010 red zone story.
Welcome back, running game.
Thanks to you, other areas of the offense, such as play-action passing, open up.
If there was a game that reflected the Patriots' renewed commitment to the run, it was the Sept. 30 matchup against the Bills, when they rang up 247 yards on the ground. The Bills kept their small lineup on the field, daring the Patriots to run. The Patriots did, with remarkable success.
Would the Patriots of old have done the same thing?
"I think the coaches did a great job this offseason making that a point of emphasis for our offense, to make sure we get this running game going and stick with it. That's what [coordinator] Josh [McDaniels] has been doing," receiver Deion Branch said Friday.
"Overall, that was something we were lacking last year. The thing is, when something is working well, you stick with it. Even though we were throwing the ball all over the place [in 2011], as a team we still wanted to run the ball. We just took advantage of whatever the teams gave us.
"I think this year, more of a point of emphasis was to be a little more balanced than last year. I think our pass-run ratio was high pass, less run. I think if you want to be an effective team in November, December, January and February, you have to be more balanced. I think that's what is helping us out. As a receiver, we always want to catch the ball, but I think to be a complete team, you have to be able to run the ball."
The Patriots have 276 rushing attempts through eight games and 323 pass attempts.
Last year through eight games, it was 199 rushing attempts and 321 pass attempts.
In averaging 34.5 rushing attempts per game this season, the Patriots are easily outdistancing their average carries per game from the previous three seasons -- 27.4 in 2011, 28.4 in 2010 and 29.1 in 2009.
Interestingly, as noted by ESPN Stats & Information, quarterback Tom Brady's play-action passing stats are actually down from the past three years:
But this looks like a case in which stats don't tell the full story, as evidenced by the team's most recent game, a 45-7 rout of the St. Louis Rams.
The play-action game was lethal against the Rams, as Belichick detailed in his weekly film segment on the team's official website when he showed a 25-yard catch by tight end Rob Gronkowski and said, "It's almost impossible to get receivers open like this when you just drop back and throw."
Brady's final touchdown pass of the game, a 14-yarder to Gronkowski, also came on play-action. On the year, Brady has six touchdowns on play-action and no interceptions.
This all goes back to the offseason and the early days of training camp.
"The more Coach Belichick and Josh drive it into us in practice ... we'd be out there one day and spend all day running the ball," Branch said. "The message was that's what we're going to do."
The Patriots also had that previously mentioned defining moment Sept. 30 in Buffalo. After being disappointed with their rushing attack in the second and third weeks of the season, they broke out against the Bills. New England will look to build on that success this Sunday, when the Bills visit Foxborough.
"Each and every game is so different, but I think we've been pretty much balanced all season. There have been some games when we ran the ball a lot more than throwing it and were very successful," Branch said.
"Most defenses probably looked at our team in the past and said, 'This team is going to throw the ball.' So everybody is dropping and they're only rushing three or four guys.
"Now I don't think teams come to play us thinking it's all about throwing. We're a lot more balanced than we were in the past. That's a credit to the coaches and players, guys buying into us doing what we're supposed to do and sticking with the running game."

Income Tax Advice: What Should I keep?
Income taxes are fast approaching. I've stumbled across some great information from the National Tax Advice Day website.
Records to hold on to:
It's a good idea to keep your records in order by date, broken down by category. Organizing your receipts, pay stubs and various financial forms as the year goes along will make it easier to get the numbers you need when it's time to file your tax return. Several software programs on the market are designed to help you maintain records; however you should still hold on to original receipts and tax forms. It's a good idea to use a folder, envelope or binder to keep all of your records for the tax year together and then store these yearly files away in boxes or on shelves for later reference.
You should keep your records a minimum of three years but our tax professionals recommend a minimum of seven years. Even though you may not need to hold on to these records for tax purposes, you may wish to maintain them for proof to creditors or for use in insurance claims. The IRS does recommend that you keep copies of your W-2 forms until you're eligible for retirement in case there's a discrepancy.

Experts Discuss Urban SDG Targets
December 2013: Participants at the Experts' Workshop on Sustainable Cities and Human Settlements called for a stand-alone urban goal in the post-2015 development agenda and discussed possible targets.
The workshop took place from 5-6 December 2013, and brought together representatives from governments, UN agencies, experts and Major Groups to discuss sustainable urbanization within the context of the future UN development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with the aim of advancing just, prosperous and sustainable city-regions as a key element in the post-2015 development agenda. According to the organizers, an urban Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) would reflect urbanization as a "megatrend shaping the 21st Century—socially, economically, environmentally," and raise awareness of cities as critical elements in achieving poverty eradication, sustainable human development and universal provision of public services.
Participants reviewed the targets proposed in six preparatory papers, which covered: integrated urban planning and design for city-region connectivity, efficiency and inclusive public space; participatory democracy, poverty and inequalities reduction; prosperity and jobs for all within planetary boundaries, with a focus on youth and women; universal access to affordable and quality social services and public utilities, including energy, shelter, transport and water and sanitation; linkages with rural development, including food security and resources provision; and resilience through risk prevention and management and environmental sustainability.
The targets on integrated planning and design build on Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 7, and aim to influence Habitat III's urban agenda. On prosperity and jobs for all, the group stressed that growth and prosperity-related SDGs must be relevant to city-dwellers. Proposed targets on universal access to affordable and quality social services and public utilities include quantitative targets, such as halving per capita consumption of fossil fuel-based energy in the global north, as well as governance targets, which are focused on monitoring performance, coordination across levels of government and agencies, accountability and community level data.
Workshop discussions will feed into urbanization discussions at the Seventh Session of the Open Working Group (OWG) on the SDGs through the submission of a synthesis report, which will present proposals for an urban SDG and urban targets, and a booklet of real-world experiences gathered from local and regional authorities. OWG 7 will take place from 6-10 January 2014, in New York, US.
The Communitas Coalition organized the meeting in collaboration with the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA) and the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN). Communitas is composed of UN Human Settlements Programme (UN-HABITAT), Tellus Institute and ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability and Network of Regional Governments for Sustainable Development (nrg4SD).

A printer which is compact and delivers high speed rints is always desirable. Sam sung ML 1660 monochrome laser printer ful¬fills both these cri teria effortlessly. The ultra compact form factor for the printer is quite impres¬sive. Strategic glossy and matte finished plastic makes the printer quite an eye candy. It hasjust two buttons: power and print, on the left-hand side above which are present two status indicators.
Since it's a monochrome laser printer it comes with a single toner which is easily installed. The paper feeder tray is located at the base and the output collection tray in on the top of the printer. The tray quality is strictly OK. Since it is a no frills monochrome printer, it does not feature any memory card or USB slots. Neither does it have a network printing option. It has air only 8.2 seconds for a normal text print and the best quality text print took 8.7 secs. Printing a mixed document took 11.9 secs (Best quality) and 11.1 secs (normal quality). Continuous printing is also quite fast, and our 10 page print test took a mere 47 secs. Text print quality was quite good in both the modes, but mixed document tends to be printed lightly in the normal mode. Overall, quality is quite decent.

RICHFIELD - Some bobby pins and hair spray will give girls heading to the prom a new look. It also will give hope to teen girls in Indonesia as a Richfield salon sponsors an event known as Go Glam.
Your Hair Till Eternity salon opened its doors earlier this year along Main Street in Richfield. Owners Kristen Kreider and Nikki Barner say they want to sponsor the Go Glam event to bring awareness to the sex trafficking problem in Indonesia and other parts of the world including the United States.
For a $20 donation young women can get their prom hair style, and/or a make-up make over for a $10 donation. All proceeds from the donations received will go to benefit Compassion First, an organization that aids young girls caught up in the world of sex trafficking by helping them escape to a safer environment and providing the resources they need to achieve a better life.

Sentinel photo by Tabitha Goodling
Salon owner Nikki Barner of Your Hair Till Eternity completes a new hair style for East Juniata High School student Sara Samples, 15, of Thompsontown.
Kreider was a missionary with the group a year ago as a cosmetology teacher. She taught girls who had formerly worked in the sex trafficking industry in an effort to help them find employment. Kreider - who will return to Indonesia this October to work with the young women - said her prior experience had a profound impact on her life, and she is anxious to support Compassion First here at home as well.
"The girls in Indonesia were incredibly receptive to learning cosmetology. They were so excited and eager. Two of the girls went on to further their education in cosmetology and are working toward being employed in a salon," Kreider said.
"It was an awesome opportunity to teach them these skills. It was practical skills that they could take with them. Even if they didn't want to do that profession for the rest of their lives, they now knew how to perform different haircuts. Coming from poverty stricken families, they were so thankful," she explained.
Barner said she was ready to help any way she could, and was ready to open the doors of their new shop and spread the word. And while it may be a sacrifice for a new business to leap into such a large fundraiser, Barner said she is not worried.
"Most prom 'dos are just about time," Barner said, "It's basically bobby pins and hair spray."
The shop is even offering the hair styles for free to anyone who cannot afford a donation. Barner said area residents wanting to support Compassion First can do so by donating money for a young woman to come to the salon. Checks can be made out to Your Hair Till Eternity and sent to 820 Main Street, P.O. Box 74, Richfield, PA 17086.
The Go Glam special is available for East Juniata and Juniata High School May Day events as well.
The ladies ask that interested girls call the salon at one of these numbers: (717) 694-0180 or (570) 541-1674 for an appointment. It is suggested girls show up with dry hair not recently washed - and should plan for the appointment to last about an hour.
Compassion First's mission will be explained to those who come for the appointment, Kreider said.
"We will be touching on this ministry when the girls come in to our salon. We also have the opportunity to share with them how fortunate they are to be able to attend their prom,"she said. "And with that opportunity to attend, they need to make wise decisions and make it a prom that they will remember because of the good things."

Mini Super Cub Motor Problem... All help required !
Hello everyone me again!
I am a complete RC plane noob.
I have had my mini super cub for 2 days, today I lost the spinner in a field and have ordered a replacement. Since this has happened the motor is making a HORRIBLE noise on full throttle. It is really loud and sounds like a buzzing noise sort of...
It also sounds like the prop is spinning against something but I made sure it wasn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated people !
Oh off the top of my head I'd say you bent a shaft or prop.
As bad as you discribe it, you should be able to see it by rotating the prop by hand.
Look for two things, the shaft moving up and down as it rotates, and/or the prop blades not running in a straight line, viewed from the side.

Sorry for the bad explanation!
I see from your other thread you had a slight incident with mother earth. Forgot to mention that? Giving ALL the info related to your problem will greatly help you in getting help from us.
Did you get all the mud out?
First now that you checked it by hand, spin up the motor very slowly, and recheck it.
Work the throttle up and see if at a certain point the vibration/noise show up.
Look to see if maybe the prop got pushed back into the cowl, or if it's a gear box set up, look for a bind in the gears from your nose in.
And something else for your benefit, stick with one thread, you'll get a lot more help that way, instead of having three going one for each problem. Or find the thread dealing with the mini Cub, as the folks there will prety much have the problems all figured out and will be able to assist you a lot better.

In terms of the mother earth incident. I got all of it out apart from some caked on bits on the inside of the cowl.
The heavy vibrations start at about 75-100% throttle. At low RPM the prop has always been a bit shaky which I reckon is normal.
It looks quite smooth at high RPM until the horrible vibrations start.
The prop is a bit frayed I will put the spare on and see how it goes. It could also be because of a loose nut or bolt although I have tried tightening them.
Once again thank you for your help
I'll go back to my original thoughts on your problem now. Yep I bet you bent the shaft or prop. Why? now you say the problem gets worse as you throttle up. A bent shaft or bad prop will tend to magnify the problem as it speeds up, so even thou you didn't see a problem when you hand spun it, running it up shwed it was there.
Also the prop being "torn up" is another dead give away you have a problem there.
Yeah for safety sake and to be sure of your problem, you may have damaged both the prop and motor or shaft, take the cowl off.
Best of luck to you.

Where is the prop shaft? Is it the cased bit above the motor that runs behind the prop?
If it is a damaged Motor is it easily fixable?
Is a damaged shaft easily fixed?
Once again thank you so much.
Hang on there. THis is the HobbyZone version right?
If so go here. http://secure.hobbyzone.com/catalog/...per_cub_parts/
This is the parts listing for it. 4th one down is the prop shaft, 16th one I believe is the whole gearbox assy.
This is very much the same set up as the old ParkZone Cubs used. Just smaller.
As I said before, you boink it, more then likely you bent either the prop or shaft, or drove the prop or shaft back and it's binding up, or you could have even broke the gearbox itself. Any of these would cause the noise/vibration/lack of power you are getting.
Let's start all over. Unbolt the prop and take it off. Now power up the motor, listen and look at the prop shaft. See if its wobbling and if you can hear/feel the vibration.
If not, you more then likely lucked out and just have a bad prop.
If you still hear/feel/see that you still have the problem with the prop off, now it's time to take off the cowl.
Spin up the motor again, and watch the big gear on the prop shaft, if it's wobbling you damaged the prop shaft. Also you may have done more. You'll need to check to see if maybe you damaged the shaft bushings, or gearbox.
Easy enough to do. First look real close at where the shaft runs in the gearbox for cracks or splits. Then look at where the motor mounts for the same.
If you are good there, it's time to check the shaft bushings. Remove the motor screws that hold it to the gearbox, you may need to unbolt the gear box to do so, no big deal.
Once you have the motor off, spin the prop shaft. It should spin very easily. If not, you damaged the bushings, again no real problem. Pop the prop shaft off, and look at the bushings, there will be two, one at the back and one at the front of the gearbox.
If they are damaged, they are easy to replace, but if you hit it hard enough to damage them, you may be better off to replace the shaft and bushings both, or the whole gearbox.
Let me know what you find, I'll keep checking back.

It is the HZ version and I am currently searching for a phillips small enough to get the cowl off !
If you can't find a phillips, a very small straight screwdriver will work. Anyone at you place wear glasses? If they have an eyglass screwdriver kit, one of those would work just fine.
Or, and I've done it myself. Take a small nail, and hammer the pointed end flat, till you have a point that will fit the screw. If the screws are tight, use a pair of pliers on the nail to twist it.

The bigger gear when disconnected from the motor span freely (however it only spun for a second before stopping, it definatlely wasn;t stiff)
I put it all back together and the loud better but still there slightly and so are the vibrations. I think it was the prop and everything is 80% smoother than before I fiddled.
Thank you for your help, as soon as the weather picks up and I get my new spinner Ill let you know how it goes !
I looked at the picture of the gearbox. Your's uses bearings and one what appears to be a bushing. It should allow you to spin the prop shaft very easily, and it should spin for quite a bit just by using your finger to flip it into motion. Keep an eye on it once you get it back together.
Lotsa luck to you.

I got a mini supercub and unfortunately the front end has come loose. When I look underneath the front cowling I see that the spikes the go through the sterofoam fuslage easliy slide back out.
My question is what kind of glue should I use that will not damage the strofoam but probably hold the spikes back in place.
thanks for all of your help

CRCS is not accepting applications at this time. Please check back in Fall 2017.
The Harvard Center for Research on Computation and Society (CRCS) solicits applications for its Postdoctoral Fellows and Visiting Scholars Programs for the 2016-2017 academic year. Postdoctoral Fellows receive an annual salary to engage in a program of original research and are provided with additional funds for travel and research support. Visiting Scholars ordinarily come with their own support, but CRCS can occasionally offer supplemental funding.
We seek researchers who wish to interact with both computer scientists and colleagues from other disciplines and have a demonstrated interest in connecting their research agenda with societal issues. We are particularly interested in candidates with interests in:
- Economics and Computer Science
- Healthcare Technology
- Privacy & Security
- Social Computing for Societal Problems
- Automation & Reproducibility of Data Analysis
- Network Science
- Text Analysis
The ideal researcher will have a technical background in an area related to computer science and a desire to creatively use those skills to address problems of societal importance. CRCS is a highly collaborative environment, and we expect Fellows and Scholars to engage with researchers both inside and outside of computer science.
Visit http://crcs.seas.harvard.edu/research to learn more about the exciting research at CRCS!
There are numerous opportunities for CRCS Fellows and Visiting Scholars to engage with Harvard faculty, students and scholars in computer science and other disciplines including: the bi-weekly CRCS lunch seminar series, the CRCS annual symposium, various informal CRCS lunches, and other research group meetings. Additionally, CRCS has close ties with Harvard's Berkman Center for Internet and Society and CRCS Fellows attend the weekly Berkman Fellows' meeting.
Harvard University is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer. We are particularly interested in attracting women and underrepresented groups to participate in CRCS.
For further information about the Center and its activities, see http://crcs.seas.harvard.edu/.
Application Procedure
A complete application will include:
- A cover letter addressing what you can contribute to and what you hope to receive from the CRCS community
- 3-5 page research statement
- At most, three research papers
- Three letters of reference
The cover letter should describe what appeals to you about joining CRCS and describe how you would contribute to the existing community. Please also make clear in your cover letter whether you are applying for the Postdoctoral Fellow or Visiting Scholar position, as well as whether you are supplied with your own funding.
References for Postdoctoral Fellows should send their letters directly, and Visiting Scholar applicants may provide a list of references rather than having letters sent.
The application deadline for full consideration is Tuesday, December 1, 2015.
