Brewster Kahle, the Internet pioneer who first became famous in 1988 for his creation of WAIS, the pre-Web system for searching through large collections of text, is in the news again for his work to develop Internet Archive, the goal of which is to keep a copy of "everything" ever posted to the Web. In fact, he's going beyond the Internet to include in his Archive such things as a collection of TV coverage of "9/11," ephemeral films such as Prelinger Archives, Michael Hart's Project Gutenberg, etree.org's archives of live concert performances, and an archive of more than 8,000 CD ROMs donated by Macromedia. Kahle calls the Internet the "information resource of first resort," since it is characterized by a hundred million searches a day by tens of millions of users, yet adds that "the Net doesn't have the best we have to offer." Kahle, who is strongly opposed to the Sonny Bono Copyright Extension Act, has been sharply focused on his new "Internet Bookmobile" project, which promotes the downloading and local printing of works in the public domain. "We think there should be lots of books in the public domain."
With digital preservation still in its infancy, there are still more questions than answers about what should be preserved and/or archived, how it should be archived, and who should make all these decisions. In an effort to stimulate discussion and suggest avenues for resolution, Henry Gladney thoughtfully raises a number of issues, including: "For which communities and which kinds of public documents is digital preservation most important?" As Gladney points out, while the quantity of historical data is limited by the simple fact that writing and dissemination were relatively rare and relatively slow in earlier times, the amount of data generated today is mind-boggling. It is neither possible nor desirable to archive everything. The challenge is in sorting the wheat from the chaff. In the public sector, for example, efforts are focused on archiving cultural content, scientific data and records of national significance. In the private sector, items such as medical and educational records certainly warrant consideration for archiving. Ultimately, each archivist must determine which materials to save based on the parameters of the collection under his care.

Scholars of every ilk, from first-year college students to professional scientists, have largely replaced their paper research with Web research; after all, the Web is handy, and a good search engine can turn up numerous resources quickly. But there is a downside to ditching paper. One problem is that many journals do not have their older issues archived, so researchers who only consult the Web won't find material published before a certain date. Another issue is the half-life of Web material. One study found that only about 80% of Web sites were still in existence after one year. And only about 69% of Web pages were still online. Even more disturbing, the same study found that within a year, more than 99% of the pages had changed in some manner. Exacerbating the problem, a growing number of libraries are canceling their subscriptions to print journals, preferring instead to rely on the electronic versions. Writer James Sweetland asks, "Are we, perhaps, eliminating one of the oldest functions of libraries—the archival, or 'group memory' function? And, if so, are we even thinking about what we are doing?" (Library Link Oct 2002) http://alidoro.emeraldinsight.com/librarylink/collection/index.htm

Digital libraries are everywhere, and, even as standards, staffing, clients, and funding are sorted out, the digital domain remains part of every library's future. The extraordinary digitization efforts underway since the mid-1990s in Canada and Europe are largely driven by a cultural imperative, that is, as a reaction to the dominance of U.S. information and culture on the Web. Digital cultural initiatives or digital culture online, as the institutions are generally referred to in Canada and Europe, also support electronic learning programs. Finally, academic and research institutions at the national and international levels strongly influence the direction of and public access to digital heritage print collections.
In his keynote address to this year's Museum Computer Network (MCN), "What Do We Want from the Cybermuseum?" Stanley Katz frequently referred to the rich conversation recorded in a recent report as a key articulation of current concerns in museums on the development of digital technology. The paper is now widely available. Some of the key themes included rethinking institutional infrastructure, especially for coordinating and integrating digital production; new staffing models; the potential of broadband for furthering museum education and outreach; the role of technology in connecting museums with the communities of the future; the relationship between digital presence and the number of visitors to the physical museum; as well as the developing role of NINCH vis-a-vis its museum members.
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has provided funding to the California Digital Library for a one-year project to conduct a cost benefit review of the approaches and technologies available for the capture, curation, and persistent management of web-based state and federal government publications. The review will examine how and in what combination these technologies may be applied to develop persistent scholarly collections. The review will also tease out implications that these technologies have in their application for the organization, operation, sustainable funding, and use of such collections. The project will be informed at appropriate stages by scholars who use government documents in their research, by government document librarians, and by decision makers who are involved in planning for, organizing, and sustaining the development of persistent collections of scholarly information that support research and teaching. The work assumes that research libraries need to assemble persistent and readily accessible collections comprising the web-based documents of US federal and state governments. It assumes further that different libraries may wish to build somewhat different collections (or different views of comprehensive collections), just as they build different collections of printed government documents today. Consequently, the proposed work will examine as distinct facets of a single enterprise some of the more promising approaches to the capture, curation, and persistent management of web-based government documents.
The U.S. Department of Education recently sparked controversy in the education and research communities for its decision to both remove and delete information from its agency websites, in the interests of consolidating information and making it more usable and accessible to the public. Critics charge that it is both an effort to remove information with which the Bush Administration does not agree, and symptomatic of broader long-standing problems facing intra- and inter-agency electronic document and records management. http://www.ombwatch.org/article/articleview/1136/1/153/
The U.S. Department of Education now says it will archive all content removed from its Web site, possibly through an interactive database accessible through the Internet or in a CD-ROM. The soon-to-be-excised material "does not reflect the priorities, philosophies or goals of the present administration," according to a May 31 memo citing the need for the overhaul. John P. Bailey, director of educational technology, assured critics last week that "Files will not be deleted. They will simply be archived in such a way so as to make them available and accessible." But Patrice McDermott, an assistant director of government relations at the American Library Association, said she has "multiple concerns" over the redesign process. "We think there should be stakeholder-community involvement both in the development of criteria and the implementation of it. We don't think these sorts of removals of information should be made on the part of their agency and solely through their internal deliberations. There's a lot at stake here." McDermott said that an online archiving system would be helpful, but that putting it all on a CD-ROM was not an acceptable solution, especially if it is not indexed. "There would be no way of easily retrieving information," she said. http://www.edweek.org/ew/ewstory.cfm?slug=06web.h22 ShelfLife 10/24/02
Two literary lions spent a lot of time talking about technology when Jason Epstein was interviewed by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt as part of the Small Press Center in New York City's series of Interviews with Great Publishers. Epstein discussed many of the issues he raised in his 2001 title, Book Business (Norton). The business is in "difficult times," he said, because superstores have "devolved into being what the mall stores were, just more so," with inventory skewed toward quick turnover and bestsellers. As a result, publishers cannot support the backlist, which should be the backbone of their businesses. The major problem, he said, lies in inefficient distribution. While online bookselling might seem like a solution, Epstein said his experience with the Reader's Catalog taught him how expensive shipping and handling of books can be. A few months into the experiment, his accountant told him that they were losing money on every order. But digitizing books and printing them out at point of purchase would revolutionize the business, Epstein said. He mentioned a digital printer that he said now exists as a prototype that can print a "library quality paperback." He said this would differ from print on demand because POD current machinery still requires technical attention. In addition, POD does "nothing to change the supply chain," because it does not allow books to be printed at the point of sale. Epstein was reluctant to talk more specifically about "The Machine," but said that he would have something to announce in about six months. He did add, "If there were still 4,000 independent booksellers in the U.S., I wouldn't be thinking of this new technology."
While the debate over the future of e-books hums away in the background, the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) promotes its early 2002 acquisition of the electronic book company netLibrary. Citing a 2000 Forrester report that predicted significant promise for the textbook industry, OCLC's Shirley Hyatt and Lynn Silipigni Connaway say a Columbia University study on e-book usage supports a positive forecast. That study found scholars read or browse a bare sampling of most work-related books—the introduction, a few pages to a couple chapters, plus bibliography, footnotes and index. They want to flip between pages, follow a line of reasoning, and easily move from reference to footnote, index to text. Given navigational flexibility, speed and design that takes advantage of interactivity—plus much larger collections—scholars would increase their use of online books, according to the study. In fact, a University of Pittsburgh comparison of circulation of identical e-book/print titles indicates that electronic circulation is already making ground, with access rates 2.5 times higher than their print counterparts. E-book management systems can help libraries facilitate scholars' needs, as well as monitor and manage usage patterns and availability of high-demand content, say Hyatt and Connaway.

Columbia University Press (CUP) and the American Historical Association have announced the launch of Gutenberg-e, a collection of digital monographs in history. The project is now available to libraries on a license basis. The e-books included in Gutenberg-e were selected by a distinguished panel of historians, who then worked in collaboration with the electronic publishing staff at CUP to develop the works for publication. The goal, according to Robert Darnton, past president of the AHA and the founder of Gutenberg-e, is to promote both the best in scholarship and for electronic publishing in general. Founders hope the project will serve as a cost-effective model for peer-reviewed publications in specialized fields of research to replace the crumbling monograph market. Columbia officials say the digital monographs can be read as easily as any other textual resource, but also offer extensive archival material, documentation, images, video, music, glossaries, translations, links to related web sites, and hyperlinks to supplementary literature. The entire contents of Gutenberg-e will be licensed to libraries, universities, or other institutions through an annual subscription. The collection will expand each year to include new works. The current price is $195. http://libraryjournal.reviewsnews.com/index.asp?layout=articlePrint&articleID=CA251708&publication=libraryjournal
At the height of the dot-com bubble, twenty-somethings with goatees were telling us that e-books were the wave of the future. Those e-books they had in mind were like proprietary software: they weren't free (-as-in-anything), they only worked on proprietary hardware, and they came with shrinkwrap licenses and digital rights management. They failed. The successful model that's sneaking under the radar is the copylefted book. Take a look at http://www.lightandmatter.com/article/sneaky.html
The Library of Congress has put the winning entry in its digital talking book contest on display—a hinged device that folds closed like a book and when open, reveals two thick "pages" encasing speakers flanked by a series of buttons that the user pushes to move forward (or backward) in the text, insert bookmarks, or search for a passage. The device, which will be available in three to four years, will replace the bulky plastic tape readers used for today's talking books. Over the next three years, the library plans to spend $75 million to convert about 30,000 titles, mostly standard works and best sellers, to the new technology. After some technical details of the new system are worked out, bids will be sought to manufacture the first 50,000 "dooks," as they're called. The library hopes to begin offering them to patrons sometime in 2008, and slowly phase out the tape players over the following 10 years. The dooks will be offered free to those who need them, just as the current tape players are. (AP 22 Oct 2002)

Three major publishers have filed a copyright infringement suit against a Gainesville, FL copy shop over coursepacks. Much like the landmark Kinkos suit in 1989, the suit filed by Elsevier Science, the MIT Press, and John Wiley & Sons charges that Custom Copies, Inc., and its president Kenneth F. Roberts with "unauthorized mass photocopying." The suit also says the defendants knowingly failed to get permission for material from the publishers' books and journals used in coursepacks sold on the campus of the University of Florida at Gainesville. The matter is being "coordinated" by the Copyright Clearance Center, Inc. (CCC), a for-profit, private agency which facilitates the copying of materials for coursepack producers by clearing permissions and collecting and distributing royalties to the appropriate rights holders. Thompkins White, Custom Copies' attorney, told UF's student newspaper the Independent Florida Alligator that he strongly denied "everything that's alleged against us." White said the copy shop would go back through its records to see if some articles slipped through the cracks, and said the company would pay "the full customary fee" if that were found to be true. As coursepacks have risen in popularity on campus in recent years, copyright clearance has become a major headache, and it is not hard to imagine some works "slipping through" the cracks. But publishers say each time something slips through the cracks, it adds up. "Coursepacks have become an integral part of the teaching experience," said Richard S. Rudick, Wiley's senior vice president and general counsel. "They are also an important revenue source for rights holders who deserve just compensation for use of their intellectual properties."

Google has quietly removed more than 100 controversial websites from its search results received at country-specific Google sites. Removed sites include anti-semitic and pro-Nazi sites from Google.fr and Google.de. Google indicated that the removals came at the request of a foreign government. A new study issued by the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard Law School notes that the issue of Internet blocking and filtering raises questions about the ability of governments to censor the Internet. Government efforts to filter or block Internet traffic are on the rise, and include recent attempts by France, still in court, to force Yahoo to remove auctions featuring Nazi memorabilia. Google was also blocked last month by China, which diverted queries for Google to other sites the government deemed friendlier. The blocking efforts sometimes seemed out of date; at least one Scandinavian site that was devoted to white supremacy has changed its focus since being blocked and is now a Chinese-language site dedicated to legal questions. Silent blocking leaves Google users with no indication of what information is being withheld. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/10/25/technology/25GOOG.html

Ending months of speculation, Wolters Kluwer has agreed to sell its academic trade-journal unit Kluwer Academic Publishers (KAP) to the private equity funds Candover Investments plc and Cinven Ltd. for 600 million euros ($583 million). The announcement comes just months after the publisher announced it would divest its academic units in order to expand its legal, tax, health and education publishing business. Cinven's most recent deal in the publishing sector was the acquisition of the healthcare and business publishing activities of Vivendi Universal Publishing in April 2002. Cinven also formerly owned Routledge, a publisher of academic journals, subsequently acquired by Taylor and Francis. KAP currently publishes 700 scientific and technical journal titles and approximately 1,200 new book titles a year, in addition to managing an active backlist of about 13,000 books. Earlier this year, London's
FINANCIAL TIMES reported that potential suitors for Kluwer Academic included John Wiley and Sons and Bertelsmann, and also re-ignited speculation of a Reed Elsevier/Wolters Kluwer merger, but that talk was dismissed by company officials. LJ Academic News Wire 10/24/02
Law Professors and academic library groups are asking a federal appeals court to modify a recent ruling to make it clear that established copyright provisions, like fair use, sometimes trump software-licensing agreements that would otherwise narrow consumers' rights. The case in question, Harold L. Bowers v. Baystate Technologies Inc., involves the shrink- wrap license on a piece of software Mr. Bowers created to improve computer-aided-design software. Mr. Bowers said Baystate had purchased a copy of his software and then "reverse-engineered" the product—figuring out how it worked and then creating a similar product for sale under Baystate's name. Mr. Bowers charged that Baystate had violated the terms of his software's shrink-wrap license, which prohibits purchasers from reverse-engineering the software. Such licenses are typically found inside the box containing the software, and are printed on the envelope containing the CD- ROM or disk. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit agreed in August that Baystate, based in Marlborough, Mass., had breached its contract with Mr. Bowers. Baystate had argued that the Copyright Act pre-empted the shrink-wrap license's ban on reverse engineering, as well as other restrictions in the license. Such restrictions prevent fair use of copyrighted material, the company said. The scholars who are seeking clarification from the court don't necessarily agree with Baystate that the Copyright Act overrules Mr. Bowers's shrink-wrap license. Rather, they say, they are concerned that the court's decision is a "blanket rule" that shrink-wrap licenses "are never pre-empted." Because the terms of the licenses are written by the sellers and vary widely from product to product, the scholars are worried that the licenses do not necessarily recognize longstanding assumptions of copyright law, such as fair use.
Computer-science researchers are also concerned about the provision in Mr. Bowers's license banning reverse-engineering, which the researchers say is an important technique in their discipline. http://chronicle.com/free/2002/10/2002102501t.htm
The scientific community should work closely with federal agencies responding to new national security threats, said the presidents of the National Academies in a recent statement. But they also asked the federal government to refrain from creating poorly defined categories of "sensitive, but unclassified" information that do not provide precise guidance on what data should be restricted from public access. A recent National Academies report identifies immediate actions the government can take using available technology and identifies critical research and development areas.

At the Library and Information Technology Association (LITA) National Forum, Clifford Lynch, executive director of the Coalition for Networked Information, told attendees that library technology is entering a period of change and instability. Lynch cited four factors contributing to the destabilization of library technology. The first was the growth of portals on college and university campuses. "Everyone wants to be the portal for everything," Lynch explained, noting that he viewed the advent of portals as bridging the world of Google and proprietary content to build "access points that reach across deep and surface web content." The emergence of course management software (CMS) is another factor. While Lynch said that while there was a lot of action in this area, there's no consensus as to where on campus CMS should fit: libraries, IT, and instructional technology departments are all viable contenders. The problem? While Lynch acknowledged that many faculty members want to bring content, including licensed content, out of the library and into the CMS, some CMS companies are talking to content suppliers, whose content the library may already have licensed. "Is this in the best interest of anybody?" Lynch asked. Lynch said that the "open courseware movement," such as the one initiated by MIT, also provided a new challenge for academic libraries. Lynch described the open courseware movement as a "new form of scholarly communication," and a new means of publishing scholarly gray literature, and predicted that student content in open courseware would create a new set of issues for libraries. "While the 90s were the decade of faculty intellectual property rights, this decade we will visit student intellectual property rights and the issue of implied consent," he said. Finally, Lynch cited the emergence of "institutional repositories," such as new MacArthur fellow Paul Ginsparg's ArXiv at Cornell University, as another issue placing pressure on libraries. He described the recent emergence of various digitization projects and major scholarly undertakings that live "on the computer underneath faculty desks" and argued that such content needs "to move to where it can be secure and be preserved." http://libraryjournal.reviewsnews.com/index.asp?layout=articlePrint&articleID=CA253529
The New Alexandria Library opened on October 16. The modern complex, funded by a variety of countries and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), seeks to replace the famous center of learning that was destroyed more than 1500 years ago. The $225 million new facility opened with approximately 240,000 volumes—far short of the eight million originally hoped for. With an annual operating budget of $20 to $25 million, the aim of recreating the original library's role as the world's greatest repository of knowledge has been scaled back to serve mostly Egyptian users. The library was originally scheduled to open in April, but was postponed due to widespread political demonstrations. Critics of the project have cited the Egyptian government's censorship policy. One report has Chief Librarian Layla Abdel Hady saying that potentially dangerous books will be locked up and charges that many of the library's reference books are obsolete, although they are backed up by electronic resources. The collection focuses mainly on Egyptian and Mediterranean civilizations.

Retailer Seven & I Holdings Co. welcomed 1,180 new employees to 15 group companies in a ceremony Thursday ahead of the start of the new fiscal year in April.
Chairman Toshifumi Suzuki greeted the new hires at a Tokyo hotel.
"I hope you will be sensitive to the needs of consumers and changes in the world," he said, urging the newcomers to work with strong determination ahead of the first stage of the consumption tax hike in April 2014.
The 15 group companies include convenience store chain Seven-Eleven Japan Co., retail chain Ito-Yokado Co. and department store Sogo & Seibu Co.
The number of employees rose from 778 the previous year, partly reflecting Seven-Eleven Japan's ambitious expansion plans in the business year to next February. Seven-Eleven Japan alone hired a record 556 new employees, up from 323 the previous year.

Rally Falls Short as Highlanders Take Game Two to Split Conference Doubleheader
With the split on the afternoon, Liberty raises its record to 31-18 on the year and 6-2 in Big South Conference play. The second-game loss ended Liberty's six-game conference winning streak and Liberty's 12-game home winning streak. The Highlanders finished the day with a 35-21 record and an 8-3 mark in the league.
The Highlanders jumped out to an early lead as Cassie Rhodes tripled down the right-field line and scored as Ashley Taylor singled through the right side of the infield, driving in Rhodes and giving Radford a 1-0 lead.
The visitors added to their advantage during the second inning when Amanda Davidson hit her fourth home run of the year, connecting on a solo home run to left, pushing the Highlanders' lead to two runs, 2-0.
The Lady Flames trimmed the lead in their half of the frame as Ashley Williams led off the inning by drawing a walk. After moving to second on a sacrifice bunt by Beth Bennett and to third on a pass ball, Williams crossed the plate as Beth Hensley dropped in a RBI single to left center to cut the lead to one run, 2-1.
Radford kept its bats going in the third inning as a single down the left-field line by Ashley Carlson and a base knock to right center by Rhodes set the stage for Ashley Taylor to hit her team-leading eighth home run of the hit as the three-run blast to left clipped the top of the fence and pushed the Highlanders' lead to four runs, 5-1.
Liberty cut the lead in half during the fifth inning with back-to-back home runs by Jessica Moore and Williams. Moore's solo shot well over the fence in left field was her team-leading 15th of the year and Williams' solo shot to center field, marked her ninth of the year and third of the week.
The long ball contest continued in the top of the sixth inning as Sarah Himan started the inning by reaching on a fielding error. Two batters later, Alex Roderick hit her fifth home run of the season, with the two-run blast to left field, staking the Highlanders to a four run lead, 7-3.
Courtney Johnson kept the home run fest alive with her second round tripper of the afternoon by hitting a solo shot to left center field, cutting Radford's lead to three runs, 7-4.
A two-run blast well over the fence in straightaway center by Shannon McKain, Liberty's fourth home run of the game, pulled the Lady Flames within a run, 7-6, but Taylor was able to defuse a seventh-inning rally by getting three groundballs to secure the afternoon split.
Both teams pounded out nine hits and a combined seven home runs during the nightcap. Rhodes paced the Highlander offense as she was 3-for-4 with two runs scored, followed by Taylor's 2-for-4 outing with a team-best four RBI. Carlson was 1-for-4 in the win with a second inning single down the left-field line, allowing the outfielder to become Radford's single season hits leader with 75 hits on the year.
Moore (2-for-4 with a home run), Williams (2-for-3 with two runs scored) and Hensley (2-for-3 with a RBI) each recorded multiple hits on the game to lead the Lady Flames from the plate.
Bre Felix was the victor in the contest, upping her record to 17-6, as she allowed four runs, three of which were earned, on eight hits during 5 2/3 innings of work. Taylor recorded the final four outs of the game to secure her first save of the year, allowing two runs on the home run by McKain.
Terra Lowe suffered the loss for Liberty to fall to 13-6 on the season as she allowed the first two runs on three hits during 1 2/3 innings of work. Sarah Ellis was roughed up for five runs, four of which were earned, on five hits in 3 2/3 innings of action, before Sarah Swor finished off the final 1 2/3 innings of the game where she allowed one hit and fanned two.
Liberty and Radford will conclude their three-game Big South Conference series tomorrow afternoon with a single game at the Liberty Softball Field. First pitch of the contest is set for Noon, beginning a full day of athletics at Liberty University.
The Flames are hosting the Big South Outdoor Track Championship at the Matthes-Hopkins Track Complex all day and the baseball team plays the middle game of a three-game series against Radford, starting at 3 p.m. at Worthington Field. The athletic day concludes with the football program's annual Spring Game, which kicks off at 3 p.m. at Williams Stadium.

SPORTS >> Devils aware of Cats
Leader sports writer
The week-one battle between Jacksonville and North Little Rock could be labeled many things. One of the main things is a revenge game for the Red Devils. Jacksonville entered last seasons opening game with high hopes and expectations, while North Little Rock was hoping to become a team to contend with, but were still up-and-comers.
The Charging Wildcats scored three touchdowns before most fans got to their seats en route to a 34-0 drumming of the visiting Devils.
This year, its Jacksonville that is rebuilding, and hoping to prove itself a real contender in AAAAA football.
First Year Jacksonville coach Mark Whatley is downplaying the revenge factor.
I havent heard much talk about revenge, Whatley said. Hopefully were becoming a team that prepares for every game the same way. Were very aware of how good they are this year. Thats all were concerned with.
North Little Rock coach Brian Hutson got a good look at Jacksonville last Saturday night in its scrimmage against Greenbrier, and came away impressed.
They looked really good, Hutson said. I was very impressed. Theyve got some big boys and really seemed to have grasped what theyre doing. Theyve got speed on both sides. I just didnt see any weaknesses.
Hutson was very impressed with Jacksonvilles size up front, but his Wildcats are devoid of size and speed.
Hutson has two of the most sought-after recruits in the state in Van Stumon and Jonathan Hicks. Both players can play defensive end and linebacker, while Stumon adds running back to his list of duties with his 4.6 speed.
They are both in the 6-foot-3, 240 range, and both have scholarship offers from multiple major division I schools.
Although Stumon and Hicks are the two everyone knows about, they are far from the only talented players on the team.
Jacksonville coach Mark Whatley saw the Wildcats scrimmage at Stuttgart, and left very impressed.
We immediately came home, changed all the locks on the gates and were not letting em in, Whatley said.
They just seem to have an awful, awful lot of talent over there and a tremendous amount of speed. Theyve got those two big guys on the ends, in very dangerous spots. Were going to have to know where those two are at all times.
Those two are a big reason for North Little Rocks high ranking in all the preseason polls, but Hutson doesnt like all the preseason attention.
Everybodys got us ranked high, high, high, but honestly Id like to know where thats coming from, Hutson said. I do have great, great players, but they cant play the other nine positions too. It takes 11. Theres some talent on this team, no doubt, but I dont know if its what people are saying. This week is going to be a good test.
One thing Hutson spotted he hopes he can take advantage of was the number of Jacksonville players that started on both sides of the ball in the Greenbrier scrimmage.
Were going to have to do that too (play some on both sides), but probably not as much as they did, Hutson said. They may not show up Friday and do that anyway.
If they do, Im hoping well be in good enough shape to be the fresher team in the fourth quarter.
If one team is fresher than the other in the fourth quarter, it makes a difference. It doesnt matter whos playing.
Whatley agrees that keeping players fresh is important at this level, but says thats the hand his team has been dealt right now.
Were hoping by conference time well have some other kids step up that can play those roles and give us some more depth. Right now, though, were playing the 11 guys that we feel like will make us the best football team.
Fridays game begins at 7 p.m. instead of the traditional 7:30 start time.
It will be the KATV feature game of the week.

Breaking down USC's matchup against Hawaii at Aloha Stadium. (Thursday, 8 p.m., CBS Sports Network):
Even if the Trojans put freshman Max Browne or walk-on Anthony Neyer at quarterback, they should still put up enough points to beat Hawaii, even without injured tailback Silas Redd. Cody Kessler and/or Max Wittek can utilize what is arguably the top receiver tandem in the country (Marqise Lee and Nelson Agholor) and should also dust off little-used tight ends Xavier Grimble and Randall Telfer, who can cause problems in the middle of the field. By contrast, who knows what to expect from Hawaii's offense? Coach Norm Chow fired offensive coordinator Aaron Price this month, on the first day of fall camp. Taylor Graham, a transfer from Ohio State, has beaten out senior Sean Schroeder at quarterback. Because of an injury to tailback Joey Iosefa, Hawaii is expected to split carries between freshmen Steven Lakalaka and Aofaga Wily. EDGE: USC
USC's defense, rebuilt under new coordinator Clancy Pendergast, looked good in fall-camp practices, particularly at the line of scrimmage. The Trojans' front-five players should be salivating at the thought of facing a rebuilt, hobbled and not particularly talented Hawaii offensive line. USC should put plenty of quick pressure on Schroeder and ease the pressure on an all-new USC secondary that has more questions than answers. Hawaii figures to do a decent job of testing USC's new quarterbacks, given that the secondary is the strength of the Rainbow Warriors' defense, led by sophomore safety Marrell Jackson. Hawaii ranked 11th nationally in 2012 in pass defense. It's tough to know what to make of the Rainbow Warriors up front. They hoped for a contribution from freshman tackle Kennedy Tulimasealii, but he's out with a knee injury. EDGE: USC
How much can Lee do? A lot, and he will. Count on seeing Lee and Agholor as a formidable kick-return duo, and Lee is also USC's top punt returner. But, given that this isn't expected to be a competitive game and given Lee's shoulder injury during fall camp, USC might hold him out of punt-return duties. USC kicker Andre Heidari, after an inconsistent 2012 that included a knee injury, performed well during fall camp. That's much more stability than the Rainbow Warriors have, as they need to break in a new punter, long snapper and kickoff returner, after Mike Edwards unexpectedly declared for the NFL Draft. A major player here will be receiver Scott Harding, who handled punts last year and likely will field kickoffs as well. Harding even punted a little bit for the Rainbow Warriors, although that job should go to junior kicker Tyler Hadden. EDGE: USC
By now, the "Norm Chow faces USC" and "Norm Chow faces Lane Kiffin" storylines are played out and irrelevant. The bigger, better question is will both of these guys still be employed in their current roles at the end of this season? Will either? Kiffin is under more heat, given that the Trojans went 7-6 last season, and while one blip can be overlooked, back-to-back seasons of underachievement will likely lead to a coaching change. Chow, entering only his second season as head coach, probably has a little more rope, but the Rainbow Warriors didn't show a lot when they went 3-9 last season, and the outlook for this season doesn't seem much sunnier. Chow, like Kiffin, is taking a lot of his fate into his own hands by calling plays. How will Kiffin manage the quarterbacks, and how will it work? That's a huge storyline in this game. EDGE: USC
It's been eight months since the Sun Bowl, also known as USC's Embarrassment in El Paso. If the Trojans aren't fired up to get on the field and start the process of rehabilitating their shared image, something is very wrong. Motivation is key, and there's plenty of it for USC. The quarterbacks each want to prove they can be "the man" and all 11 starters on defense want to show that USC is no longer going to be soft and porous. All that said, it's difficult to know exactly how a team will respond when it crosses the ocean to play a season-opening game in paradise, but the Trojans did it three years ago, in Kiffin's debut as head coach, and took a 20-3 lead in the second quarter on the way to a 49-36 victory. There doesn't seem to be a lot of positive energy coming out of the Hawaii camp, not much to suggest a major upset is brewing. EDGE: USC
USC quarterbacks vs. Hawaii's safeties: How aggressive and confident is Kiffin going to be while calling plays against Hawaii's defense? There's no obvious answer here. Kiffin would love to let Kessler and Wittek wing the ball around and see who performs better, but the secondary is the strength of Hawaii's defense, with Jackson, John Hardy-Tuliau and Charles Clay. That might lead Kiffin to go more conservative and emphasize the ground game, but Redd won't play, and neither Justin Davis nor Tre Madden has had a carry in a college game. As long as USC's defense is stout — as it should be — the Trojans will be able to take some chances down the field. Can Wittek show off his strong arm but make good decisions in the short-passing game? Can Kessler shake his "game-manager" reputation and make some big plays?
There's a temptation to think that Hawaii might make this a game, or even upset USC. The Rainbow Warriors lost to the Trojans in 2010 and 2012, but three years ago, the Trojans went to the island and only won by 13 points. Now, USC is breaking in two new quarterbacks, is a bit unsettled at tailback and has a new defense that will be getting its first test in a game situation. Despite all that, this game should look very much like the one last year, when USC scored a 75-yard touchdown on its first offensive play and rolled to a 49-10 victory. The offense might not get close to 50 points this time, but there's no reason why the defense can't hold Hawaii to one touchdown. There may or may not be any clarity at quarterback after this game, but the Trojans should be able to ease their way into the season with a comfortable victory.

I love these stories.
On Monday, we heard about a large wild turkey roaming in southwest Lodi. Staff writer Wes Bowers put together a story, but we didn't have a photo of the big bird.
Driving along Lower Sacramento Road Tuesday on my way to the gym, I spotted a feathery creature standing in the shade of what appeared to be a Cottonwood tree.
I did a U-turn, hopped out, and trotted across the intersection of Lower Sac and Kettleman.
There, just 30 feet away, was the turkey.
I crept up and snapped a few shots of the bird. I also discovered a bird-lover had put out some water and grain for him. I shot a few pics of the water and feed, too.
As Wes' story pointed out, the turkey is roaming in the same area, south of Panera Bread, where an albino squirrel was residing a few years ago.
Albino squirrels, possums, giant bucks, coyotes. We've done stories on all of them in and around Lodi.
City officials would like to work with state fish and game folks to capture the turkey and release him someplace less prone to moving big rigs.
I hope that happens, and the sooner the better. I'd hate to see this creature meet an unfortunate end.

|Back to Jan. Ed Reporter
A Tale of Parental Involvement
Our Elko County Eagle Forum group decided that we must take an active part in educating the residents in our area about the Goals 2000 plan. Janet Weeks, Kay Dawn Jenkins and I accomplished this with very little help and effort.
Early in the year when the State of Nevada Board of Education was advertising for parents who would like to sit on one of the several boards for Goals 2000, Janet applied. Even though she was not accepted, Janet and a few other concerned parents drove 220 miles to a regional meeting. The state board, sensing Elko County's discontent (we are famous for spurning federal rule), decided to hold a public meeting here in order to push the program through.
This gift from the Almighty gave us the perfect opportunity to educate the citizens of Elko County. Through the use of a donated copy machine and paper, we printed copies of our "Goals 2000 Update." We used portions of a state brief on Goals 2000, the Phyllis Schlafly Report, and even some cartoons. Since Elko County is the largest county in Nevada, we knew we would not be able to take these flyers to every community. We enlisted the help of our Eagle phone tree, area church pastors, and the Christian Coalition to get the word out. The three of us concentrated on the Elko and Spring Creek areas. All this was done in a matter of three weeks.
There are 6 elementary schools, 2 junior highs, and 2 high schools in the Elko area. Each day of the week (this was one week before the meeting), we divided ourselves among three of the schools. With the help of a few other Eagles and our homeschool teenagers, we placed flyers on the vehicles of all the teachers and gave one personally to every parent who dropped off a child for school. The flyer specifically asked them to please attend the meeting and voice their opinions.
This had an explosive effect. So many teachers who were not familiar with the program and many highly offended parents called the state and the local school district to ask about the meeting. Seeing that this program was not going to be easily accepted, the state set the hearing time for 4 o'clock in the afternoon. This only compounded their problem when many working parents became upset that they would not be able to attend. The state finally extended the hearing until 9 p.m.
At this point in time, our county is heavily involved in the fight to get our federal lands returned to the state. Many miners, ranchers, and cowboys in this county feel that government has gone way overboard. We are in a "trim the government down" mode. Knowing this, we highlighted the fact that the Goals 2000 would be the monster of them all, especially since it would step over into the sacred area of our family life.
The turnout was great! Even though the people were divided over whether this program or that program could be good, almost everyone agreed that "government money means government control" and we don't want them controlling our schools any more than they do now.
The state speakers who presented this plan had no rebuttal for the audience on that point. Since the local school board and our brand new superintendent could plainly see that they would be held accountable, they voted the funding and the plan participation down. They also promised the parents that they would use local efforts to improve our schools before we tried any federally funded or state programs.
Time was very limited and so we feel that this was a miracle from Heaven. We really didn't have to do much. We had no funds, the other women and I live miles apart, and so the Lord did most of it for us. Helping Him gave us such a spiritual renewal. We can keep pushing on.
Elko is so diverse. We have mining, ranching, farming, gaming, etc.; there are so many different faiths; most of the population goes to church. Though there are some widely different political views here, most people have this common thread: We all have our property and means of living. We have our families and our churches. We have our life. We believe these things are our God-given rights and that government cannot and should not take them away. Elko is a wonderful place to live.

A HOOK-BASED charity that helps Kenyan street children has received a funding boost.
Glad's House, run by Cliff Ferguson from his home in Driftway, has announced global services giant Ernst and Young (EY) as its corporate fundraiser.
The company has pledged to raise £60,000 by holding a football tournament for its staff in London on Friday, January 24.
The charity aims to improve the lives of street children in Mombasa, Kenya's second-largest city. It hopes to send a team of young people to the Street Child World Cup in Rio De Janeiro, ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Mr Ferguson said: "EY are one of the biggest and most respected businesses in the world so to have their support is phenomenal.
"Our relationship is designed to be mutually beneficial as it will help EY extend their already admirable social responsibility credentials and also allow its staff to shine in a different environment outside the workplace."
Kate Bamford, partner from EY, said: "This corporate fundraising partnership offers the perfect opportunity to give something back, and fundraising for Glad's House is a very worthy cause."
Mr Ferguson set up the charity in 2006 after his daughter Victoria met street children while on a gap year in Kenya.
The charity's fundraising efforts include a regular 1930s golf day at Hartley Wintney Golf Club, where players use hickory clubs and wear plus-fours.
It also has the backing of figures from the world of sport, including Southampton midfielder Victor Wanyama and former goalkeeper Dave Beasant.

Returning from a seven-month layoff, Keyed Entry went gate to wire to defeat four overmatched opponents in Saturday's $100,000 Deputy Minister Handicap (gr. III), the first of six graded stakes on the Gulfstream Park program.
A leading 3-year-old last year after his win in the Hutcheson (gr. II) and third-place finish in the Wood Memorial (gr. I) at Aqueduct in April, Keyed Entry could be a major player on the sprinter stage in 2007 for owners Starlight Stable, Paul H. Saylor and Donald J. Lucarelli. Anthony Sciametta saddled the son of Honour and Glory--Ava Knowsthecode (Cryptoclearance) for regular trainer Todd Pletcher, who is serving a suspension.
"He'd been on the farm with Barry (Berkelhammer, bloodstock agent and advisor) and he got this horse to looking the way he did today," said Jack Wolf of Starlight Stable. "By the time he got back to training, he was just doing super and able to do what we saw today. I would think that as long as we don't screw it up, this horse has a future as a very good sprinter."
Sent from his rail post in the 6 1/2-furlong event by regular rider John Velazquez, Keyed Entry grabbed the lead and led the field through fast and even fractions of :22 1/5 and :44 2/5 before getting a bit of a break on the turn. Keyed Entry, carrying 113 pounds, drew away from the pressing Kelly's Landing when asked and was not challenged inside the eighth pole, winning by five lengths in a time of 1:15 3/5.
"He had a really good trip," Velazquez said. "All I wanted to do was get him out in the clear and keep him going. He did it pretty easily."
Sir Greeley, the slight 17-10 favorite over Keyed Entry, rallied three wide on the turn for Kent Desormeaux but was no threat to the winner while finishing second by 1 3/4 lengths over Nar, who overcame a stumbling start under Javier Castellano. High Finance was a neck out of third and Kelly's Landing, toting high weight of 119 pounds, trailed.
Keyed Entry won the first three starts of his career, including the 7 1/2-furlong Hutcheson on a sloppy Gulfstream track one year ago. He followed that with a second in Aqueduct's Gotham (gr. III) before running third in the Wood on a wet track. Keyed Entry ran last of 20 in the Kentucky Derby presented by Yum! Brands (gr. I) before going to the sidelines following a last-place finish in Belmont Park's Dwyer (gr. II) July 4. Overall, he has a 4-1-1 record in eight starts and earnings of $310,000.
Oakbrook Farm bred Keyed Entry, a $145,000 Fasig-Tipton buy in in July 2004, in Kentucky.
The winner paid $5.80, $3.40 and $2.80. Sir Greeley, second in the one-mile Hal's Hope Handicap (gr. III) at Gulfstream one month ago, returned $2.80 and $2.40. Nar, trained by Nick Zito for Four Roses Thoroughbreds, was $2.80 to show.

JERUSALEM (Feb. 21)
Israeli soldiers used tear gas yesterday to disperse Arab demonstrators and their Jewish supporters in Ramallah protesting the closure of Bir Zeit University by the Israeli authorities last week. According to local sources, several journalists and demonstrators were roughed up by the troops. Seventeen persons were detained.
Five Jewish members of the Public Committee of Solidarity With Bir Zeit were arrested in Jerusalem yesterday after demonstrating outside the home of Menahem Milson who heads the new civil administration on the West Bank. They were released today after their attorney appealed to the Supreme Court on grounds that their detention was illegal.
Bir Zeit University, regarded as a hotbed of Palestinian nationalism, was shut down last week after a representative of the Israeli civil administration was reportedly beaten up by students on the campus. The university had been closed for two months late last year because of anti-Israel demonstrations by the students and had been reopened barely six weeks when the second shut-down was ordered.

Chapter 2:
Background Information for Teachers
The god Shiva, the Creator and Destroyer, is often shown with a cobra, the Naga, symbol of fertility and strength, wrapped around his neck. The god usually has four arms, signifying his superhuman power, each with a hand holding one of his attributes. He uses the trishula, or trident, like a spear to destroy his demon foes. Frequently he holds a drum rattle whose sound creates life as it reverberates through the cosmos. The beads of his rosary symbolize all time (past, present, and future) and its transcendence. The three horizontal lines often seen on Shiva's forehead represent three aspects of the divine: the Creator, the Preserver, and the Destroyer. During puja, many devotees of Shiva mark their own foreheads with these three lines in sacred ash or sandalwood paste.

Yet the painful reality is that the strategy Mr. Romney torpedoed on stage was the best Team Obama had. The president can't run on his legislation; it isn't liked. He can't run on the economy; it's terrible. Pivot to something sunny and big? Too late. And so the early indications from the Obama campaign are that it instead intends to go past Romney caricatures and straight to character assassination

|Richard Salisbury Bull, Jr., was born in Wilkinsburg, Pa., on 6 January 1913. Graduating from the Naval Academy, he was commissioned ensign 4 June 1936. Trained as a naval aviator in 1938-39 at Pensacola, Fla., he served in the fleet in 1941. He became a naval observer assigned to the American Embassy in London, England. Reporting for duty as a fighter pilot on board USS Lexington (CV 2) on 27 December 1941, he participated in aircraft carrier operations against the Japanese in February and March 1942. In the Battle of the Coral Sea 7 to 8 May, he earned the Distinguished Flying Cross, before failing to return from his last mission. Also awarded posthumously was the Purple Heart in 1943.
USS Richard S. Bull (DE 402) (1944-1946) was the first ship to be named in his honor.

Schools to get $60m for upkeep
Page Tools
The State Government will spend an extra $60 million on school maintenance in Tuesday's budget.
It is also set to pay $6 million for a new computer system to keep track of students' academic records from prep to year 12 and ensure the data is kept secure.
The extra money for school maintenance comes after a scathing report by Auditor-General Wayne Cameron last year. The report criticised the Government's failure to conduct an audit of school maintenance since 2000 and raised concerns that 1000 portable classrooms were in a disgraceful state.
A Government working party reviewing the school maintenance system is also believed to have recommended an immediate audit of school maintenance needs.
The $6 million overhaul of the computer system that tracks student academic records will remedy concerns that the present system, set up in 1995, is insufficiently secure for information such as students' VCE results.
It follows an observation by Mr Cameron that the system made it difficult for schools to track the progress of individual students.
It is believed the new program will be able to keep complex records of students' progress that teachers will be able to access.

Bishop At Last
Msgr Peter Okpaleke becomes Bishop amidst fizzling protests at Ahiara Diocese
By Ferdy Ibecheodo, Owerri
The furore that greeted the
election of Mosignor Peter
Okpaleke as the Bishop-elect of Ahiara Catholic Diocese may have been laid to rest following his consecration on May 21 as the Bishop of the Diocese.
For six months, the Priests and some Catholic lay faithfuls of the Ahiara Catholic Diocese have been protesting and petitioning the Holy Sea against the election of the Bishop. The protesting Priests asked for a Priest from the Diocese to be appointed Bishop.
As the date for the Bishop-elect's consecration was slated for last week, the Ahiara Diocese agitators blocked all entrance into Maria Mater Ecclesiae Cathedral, Ahiara, to stop the consecration from taking place.
At the Mass that preceded the consecration, the Most Revd. Lucius Iwejuru Ugorji, Bishop of Umuahia Diocese in a sermon enjoined the new Bishop to serve the people instead of ruling over them, pointing out that as a faithful guardian, he should help all those whom God placed in his care.
Bishop Ugorji: "Listen to what they have to say, attend to them who are his flocks." The Bishop also went into the history of the Church and disclosed that the people of Mbaise welcomed the Catholic church with great enthusiasm, generosity of heart and commitment, noting that the people remained loyal and faithful in the face of difficulties and challenges and trials.
In his speech, the Papal Nuncio of Nigeria, His Grace the Archbishop Augustine Kasujja enjoined the new Bishop to help all who have been placed in his care, stressing that as a steward of God, the Bishop should be faithful in guiding his flock. The Papal representative to Nigeria disclosed that he was the person who announced to the new Bishop his election by the Holy Father, stressing that Bishop Okpaleke was surprised as most of them. Alluding to the protest against the appointment, the Papa Nuncio stated that he was not a Nigerian and yet he is here.
Responding, the Most Revd. Okpaleke started by talking about the events that preceded his consecration. He noted that the venue of this ordination also confirms that the dust has not completely settled. "I am well aware of the volatility of the situation the enormity of the work ahead in terms of healing of memory and reconciliation," he said.
He said he was at peace and confident and hopeful, putting his faith in God who knows how to make all things, including our hearts new. According to him: "I understand the anger and frustration generated by my appointment in some sections of the Diocesan family as fueled by the undeniable fact of the enormous pool and quality of manpower that we have in Ahiara Diocese and in our sons in the religious congregations, other sons of ours, especially from outside the diocese, who tapped into this initial and understandable frustration and went on a rhetorical over-drive. They spread a lot of stories and negative propaganda to cause confusion and misunderstanding among our peaceful people" he said.
Bishop Okpaleke, assured the Ahiara people that God is the Lord of those who love Him, stating that the turbulence of the past months and even the unsettledness of the situation then should not leave them gloomy, dejected or fearful.
The Source observed that only 11 Priests from Ahiara Diocese out of a legion of priests in that diocese came up to congratulate the New Bishop, while more than 100 Reverend Sisters from the Diocese of Ahiara took their turns to embrace the New Bishop, indicating a divide in the opposition from Ahiara Diocese against the Bishop.
The consecration at the Seat of Wisdom Senior Seminary, Ulakwo rather than Okpaleke's Diocese, which is Ahiara is also an indication that all is not yet well.
One Cardinal, 9 Archbishops, 26 Bishops among many other important persons attended the consecration. They included His Grace, Cardinal John Onaiyekan, His Excellency, His Grace Archbishop Brian Udaigwe, Papal Nuncio for the Republic of Benin, Secretary to the State Government represented the State Governor, Owelle Rochas Okorocha.

Small Engine
Small Engine Troubleshooting Problems? Ask a Mechanic Now.
Greetings, My name is James W, and I am here to help the best I can. My goal is 100% satisfaction. Let's get started.
These units have a serious history of needing the tranmission replaced on one side or the other or both
Below is a service manual
I would check the drive belt itself and make sure it is adjusted properly
why do they need replaced?
Examine any pulleys as well,
i have changed pulleys and belt
Because Cub cadet Used to be a very well manufactured product when they were owned and made by International harvestor
That is past tense
what happends in the gear box
Bolens, troy-bilt, yardman, yard power, as well as cub cadet all went oout of business
and MTD bought all the rights to put their "quality name" on their very cheaply made products
the transmissions are not serviceable
i dont care who went out of business or why i just want my problem fixed
MTD even tells the reair techs to just replace them
I understand
what breaks in the gear box
It is a very complicated piece just like an automatic transmission in a car
the answer is ANY one piece that brakes in the transmission makes it to be junk
i am a millwright and auto tech so i understand how it should work
please do not kiell the messenger
just a moment
have you had one a part or you ready from book or?
We have 37 years experience in our shop
we have one service man who specializes in these units
have you had one a part/
MTD does not even makie replacement parts available for the transmissions
There is no reason to take it apart if there are no parts to replace
Here is an example of ALL the parts MTD makes available for their ZTRs
i have fixed a lot things that were not "servicable" I can make the parts.
Not only do you need to find what is broken on one of these
you Have to determine exactly why they broke in the first place
thats what being a mechanic is all about
I am 49 years old and have been involved since age 12 in my brothers shop
The problem cascades
you can replace 12 parts, miss one, and then all 12 brake again
And still be back introuble
I will opt out, if you want a second opinion
I was hoping to get some tech advice about the gear box that comes on the RZT 50 I started when I was 12 and now 55.
Perhaps there is someone who has been around them more than 37 years whose advice you wish to take
My point is, they are Not worth fixing and the average time we have seen before they start acting up and causing problems is about 2 to 4 years
sorry i was hoping for more help than "just replace the trans'
They are not made well at all.
So you say junk the mower?
If you call cub cadet themselves and speak to the engineers, you will get exactly the same answer
they know the quality of what they make
the service school is 1 /2 days long for just these
at the end they say, OK, you know how to determine the problem.
Now, do not even bother trying to fix them.
The Main reason for the school is ONLY to help to prevent you from replacing one that is NOT bad.
So you are saying junk the mower?
It is not like the Old Eaton or Sundstrand Hydo static drive transmisions from years ago
NO I am not
so what are you saying?
My actual advice is to list the mower while it is still running on craigs list
tell them that the transmission is starting to go out
and sell it
the resale value on these is quite high
because the ZTRs look so nice
The still look brand new when mostly worn out and sell well
so sell it to someone and let them figure out i hosed them. That is no way to do business. I have been in the equipment selling business for 24 years. I dont work that way.
The other choice is to USE it until it will not work any more
I undestand
I was saying be honest with them
Tell them the transmission is going out but may last for a while
The only other possibilty is to take it apart
you forgot it moves very very slow, i think they will figure out it
and to change the oil
sometimes changin the oil will improve the problem
the oil gets overheated and then breaks down
that was going to be my next move
replacing the oil can buy you some more time
but do not expect it to be a perm fix
all you are doing is buying time
i was hoping for better tech help
There is no better answer in this case.
Are you 100% sure the belts are not slipping at all
i may try to part it out, i just put $250 in other parts for it last fall
Good answer
If you do not feel comfortable "sticking" someone else with it, that is not a bad decision
yea i just went thru it all last fall hoping to "fix" it
If you want a good ZTR, look at an Exmark, or a Toro or a snapper or a Simplicty
I have enough problem customers i dont need one more.
Most other brands below $4000 are just not made well in the case of a ZTR....
We always tell our customers do not buy a used MTD ZTR
(or new one)
because they seem to always bring them to us crying
I am on the phone getting a 2nd opinion
from the Owner of the dealership
37 years doing just this
He has just said that He agrees with my assessment, and said to apologise for being a bit blunt.
i think i will pull trans apart
He says, you are not going to make it worse....
blunt is the only way to be thats how i am
Then to say Bluntly, we have more trouble with the MTD ZTRs than all other brands added together and especially the transmissions
I wish I could tell you what you wanted to hear, but sometimes the best answer is Don't
I will opt out and let someone else have a chance to chime in
Alright, I will summarize everything that has been said about this unit and add my two cents worth.
I am actually the owner of the shop that Jim used to work in and have been advising him on this question for the last couple of messages he sent to you.
Here is what has actually happened.
The hydros will wear on all parts as it is used. They are built to very exacting specifications. If there is even the slightest wear on the internal parts, the oil will tend to bypass these parts and leak the pressure. Jim did get one part wrong in his answer. There is very little chance that there is a part broken inside the hydro. They usually do not break parts. But even the slightest amount of wear will cause them to malfunction. In order to repair hydros it is imperative that you replace ALL of the parts inside the case that has any contact with the oil. This means the pump motor parts...etc. If any of these parts are not replaced, they will cause the pump to leak internally because of the wear and it will not move as it is supposed to. Hydro parts are EXTREMELY expensive and it usually costs nearly as much for the parts to repair them as it does to replace the entire hydro. I have been to many hydro repair schools and even after we have spent time tearing down the units so we can see how they work, the instructor then says to basically forget everything we have just learned and just replace the hydro. Most of the less expensive hydros do not even have parts available for them.
The only thing that I see that you can do is to drain the fluid out and clean the inside, and then install new fluid. When these hydros start to go bad, the slipping that they do creates a lot of HEAT and it tends to burn the oil inside the hydro. It then thickens to the point that it does not flow well through the system. If the oil is changed, you might have a chance that it would work a little better for a short while.
I do NOT recommend that you try to sell this unit to someone else UNLESS you disclose all of the information that we have talked about here. As you and James said, that would not be the right thing to do. But you will find that there are many people that think they can fix anything and will want to try. But if they know that they may have to replace the hydro before they buy it, then you have done your job and can still sleep at night.
Many of these hydros can go bad also if the customer washes his machine with water or leaves it outside. The water will be drawn into the hydro through the seals and contaminate the oil and cause it to wear out prematurely. Most people and even many dealerships do not really know the DANGERS of washing mower with water. In fact many dealerships are still washing them with a pressure washer before they try to repair them for customers. Washing mower is the second leading cause of catastrophic Lawnmower failure.
If you do not want to spend the money to replace the hydro, then after you do some of the simple things I recommended, the I would suggest that you sell it as described above. Remember that even replacing the hydro would be much less expensive than replacing the entire mower.
I hope that I have cleared things up a little.
As James said, please do not shoot the messenger as I am just trying to help you. Even if it turns out that you can get it working, what we have given you is the information that applies to most of these units when the act as yours does.
Keep me informed as to what you find as I would be very interested to see if you find anything other than what I have suggested.
Feel free to contact me here at this question anytime ...even after you hit the "ACCEPT" button ...and I will try to help further.
Please click "ACCEPT" or I won't get paid.You may also consider sending a bonus if I have been helpful, Please leave POSITIVE feedback for me as this is how I'm rated. Remember, a neutral is nearly as bad as a negative. If not satisfied, contact me and I will make it right. Thanks
I agree that I had a poor choice of words using brake instead of wear. I know better.
My use of Breaks, was in direct answer to your question "what breaks in the gear box".
The better way to phrase it is that they just wear out.
One huge problem is that many homeowners have seen a professional cutting lawns with the big Commercial ZTRs as fast as they possibly can.
And, of course, these users are interested in cutting as many lawns per day as they can. They know they are going to buy new equipment every 2 or 3 years, and that is acceptable to the pro. It is a cost of doing business.
Plus, the unit looks so pretty after 2 or 3 years, they can sell it for large bucks when they are done with it so they can buy their new ones.
The Cub cadets can not be driven this way by the homeowner. But, they do, and they wear them out very quickly.
They go bumping around the yard, and spinning around the turns (sliding even), and cut as fast as they can.
The transmissions and the decks and the frames just can not handle this.

How Much Would You Drop On A Pair Of Sneaks?
Sneakers are supposed to be less expensive than your fancy-schmancy heels, right? Well, it would depend on just how much you want your comfy kicks to make a statement. We already knew that Jimmy Choo was making sneakers, but did you know they were $600 a pop? We have no doubt that the wealthy and celebs will willingly drop that much (we know that Michelle Obama already does this). Yet the trendy sneaker market seems to be getting more pricey in general, in part due to the resurgence of the '80s basketball trainer as a fashion item (thanks, Kanye). Remember the days when you could spend $40 for a cute and colorful pair? Now, even we admit that we've on occasion spent over $100 for some very chic sneakers that we felt we just had to have.
What about you—if you fall in love with a pair of sneaks, how much will you spend on them? How much is just too much? [Times Online]

Lifestyle changes can help control the signs and symptoms of cyclic vomiting syndrome. People with cyclic vomiting syndrome generally need to get adequate sleep. Once vomiting begins, it may help to stay in bed and sleep in a dark, quiet room.
When the vomiting phase has stopped, it's very important to drink water and replace lost electrolytes. Some people may feel well enough to begin eating a normal diet soon after they stop vomiting. But if you don't or your child doesn't feel like eating right away, you might start with clear liquids and then gradually add solid food.
If vomiting episodes are triggered by stress or excitement, try during a symptom-free interval to find ways to reduce stress and stay calm. Eating three small meals and three snacks daily, instead of three large meals, also may help.

Data Archiving
Data archiving enables the user to archive closed and/or resolved requests and move them to a separate storage state. It is most useful since thousands of accumulating active requests could hinder the performance of the help desk on a longer run.
Archived requests:
To view Archived Requests,
To configure Data Archiving,
Request status:
Request status reflects the current status of the requests that have to be archived.
Choose the status of the requests that have to be archived are in.
Time period:
Requests can be archived based on two factors of time:
Requests can be archived by selecting a combination of the above two factors. The requests Created/Closed before the configured time period will be moved to the Archived State during the next scheduled archiving process.
* For example, if the archiving is to take place on 2006-11-20 (November) and you choose �Closed requests�, �Closed Date� and �6 months� from the combo boxes, then the requests closed by the technicians as well as the end users before 2002-06-20 (June) would be archived.
* Similarly, if the archiving is to take place on 2006-11-20 and you choose �Any request�, �Created Date� and �1 year� form the combo boxes, then all requests created before 2005-11-20 would be archived irrespective of the state they are currently in.
A small check box Allow Exception is available in the Data Archiving. This option allows certain requests that fall under the archiving configurations to be retained in the current active request list without being moved into archived folder. It follows the OR condition where requests matching the any of the selected conditions are not archived.
Exceptions are rules that are defined by certain parameters. These rules can be configured by selecting parameters (Column Name, Criteria and Value) from the 3 combo boxes present in the feature. The first 2 parameters are chosen from the drop down list box while the third parameter, an attribute of the first parameter, is chosen from the pop up window by clicking on the choose/pick value icon.
Multiple exceptions can be added to retain more specific requests by clicking on Add more exception or by clicking the add icon and providing the necessary parameters.
For example, if you choose the first parameter as �Priority�, the second parameter as �is�, and the third parameter as �High� from the pop up box, then requests that have high priority will not be moved to the archived state.
An exception can be deleted by clicking on the cross/delete icon.
Process Schedule:
Schedule the archiving process by entering valid data in the �date�, �hours�, and �minutes� combo boxes. This can be done by selecting the required date from the calendar pop up box, and the hours and minutes from the drop down boxes. This process can be executed on a daily basis at the scheduled time.
If you choose �2006-11-20� from the calendar pop up box, �21� from the hours drop down box, and �00� from the minutes drop down box, then the Data Archiving process takes place at 9 o�clock in the night of the scheduled date and repeats everyday at the same time.

Apple IPod Photo
Apple 30GB iPod photoTechHive Rating
[Editor's note: Since this review was first published, Apple has released a 30GB model of the IPod Photo, which is identical to the model reviewed here except for its capacity and price ($349). You'll find the 30GB model ranked in our latest Top 10 Audio Players chart.]
Carrying a wallet full of pictures around with you is so last year. Apple's IPod Photo makes looking at your most beloved pictures while on the go as easy as listening to your favorite tunes. But it isn't cheap.
The IPod Photo comes in two sizes. I tested a shipping 40GB version, which costs $499--$100 more than the plain-vanilla 40GB IPod. A 60GB version of the IPod Photo comes priced at $599.
This IPod variant is the first in Apple's line of digital audio players to feature a color screen. The 2-inch, 65,000-color display is beautiful and crisp, though a bit small for viewing photos. It can also display tiny versions of album art while music plays.
You load photos in the same way that you would load music, via ITunes 4.7 software. Scrolling through thumbnails--even hundreds of them--is lightning fast. You can choose to look at a single photo, scroll through photos manually, or start a slide show. The Slideshow Settings menu lets you specify, among other things, how long each slide displays, as well as a playlist to aurally accompany the slide show. An included cable gives you the option of plugging the unit into a TV's RCA jacks for big-screen viewing.
In spite of the Ipod Photo's color screen, Apple managed to improve the unit's battery life. I squeezed nearly 14 hours of listening and viewing pleasure out of one charge (that's up from about 12 hours of run time on current fourth-generation monochrome IPods).
The price may be steep, but the IPod Photo won me over with its gorgeous color screen and high-quality audio. Now instead of suffering through 40 minutes on the treadmill while staring at the calorie counter, I can pass the time looking at my favorite pictures.
The Apple IPod Photo is an elegant but pricey way to tote around your favorite photos as well as your music.
