In Reply to: Front Loader for Super Major? posted by ZZZeke on March 31, 2014 at 23:14:38:
Hi I think that loader will be a pain in the butt to put on a super major. I put a loader from a new series 5000 on a super once.
it was a whole load of fabrication even although they are similar sized tractors, the only thing they really had in common was blue paint in fitting that loader.
The only part of the brackets original to the loader was the uprights/ cylinder mounts. Every thing else I custom made for the mounting frame.
Looks like the muffler will hit the mounts, the front brackets taper in, the major is probably wider than those brackets/ that tractor it's on now. The rear and front mounts will probably be miles wrong for the major mounts. The steering linkage will probably hit the mounts also.
Basically I figure it"s not gonna work easy if it works at all. keep what you got or find a loader that fits the major, then sell the whole package if you don't need the N. if you can"t find a loader, you need the tractor and a tape measure, to figure out if the loader and mounts are wide enough, that you are looking at. That front pump probably will need work to fit the crank shaft drive as well. I have done a few loaders on other tractors and it"s not always easy, or worth the materials/ time to convert them.If you can"t do it your self properly $1500+ can soon disappear.Not trying to put you off just warning you what this can turn into in a hurry.

Organic Chemistry Alkanes Aromatic Hydrocarbons Alkenes and Alkynes Alkanes Introduction to Organic Chemistry A saturated Hydrocarbon only has single covalent bonds between its carbon atoms
An alkane is a saturated hydrocarbon Defined as an unsaturated hydrocarbon with a cyclic structure, a chemically stable pattern of bonding and a strong aroma.
The simplest aromatic hydrocarbon is benzene (C6H6).
Has three double bonds and three single bonds Unsaturated hydrocarbon: an organic compound in which is comprised of both carbon and hydrogen atoms; however, the carbon are connected by double or triple bonds.
Alkenes and alkynes are unsaturated hydrocarbons.
Alkenes contain a double bond, and alkynes contain a triple bond 1. Identify longest carbon chain.
2. Identify substituent groups
3. Number the carbons so that lowest possible number is given to substituent group
4. Indicate the number of identical substituents using prefixes (di-, tri-, etc.)
5. List all substituents in alphabetical order in final name. Seperate numbers by commas and words by hyphens. Nomenclature By Raymond Chung, Reva Kyrollos, Michelle Tran, and Dilan Somanader Alkenes and Alkynes Aromatic Hydrocarbons General Formula CnH2n+2 Straight Chain Alkane have a long sequence of carbon atoms along a straight line.
Cyclic alkane (or cycloalkane) is a chain of carbon atoms joined to form a closed loop or ring structure.
General formula: CnH2n "A group of atoms found in the molecule which affects its properties" Functional Groups (Branches) Some hydrocarbons contain one or more hydrocarbon branches attached to the main structure of the molecule
An alkyl group is a branch attached to the main structure of the molecule, acts as substituent group A substituent group
is an atom or group of atoms that replaces one of the hydrogen atoms bonded to the central carbon atom. First Five Alkanes and their Alkyl Groups 1 Carbon = Methane - Methyl
2 Carbons = Ethane - Ethyl
3 Carbons = Propane - Propyl
4 Carbons = Butane - Butyl
5 Carbons = Pentane - Pentyl (notice that the alkyl groups end with -yl) Hybridization and Molecular Structure Hydrocarbons containing 4 or more carbon atoms exhibit structural isomerism:
two compounds have the same molecular formula but a different structure. There are 2 alkanes with C4H10, butane and methylpropane.
Butane is straight-chain, while methylpropane has branched structure
Because of change in structural arrangement, they exhibit different physical properties (butane has higher boiling point than methylpropane) A functional group is a group of atoms within a molecule that affect the properties of the compounds Alkanes are sp3 hybridized as each carbon has 4 sigma bonds. Example 1: Naming an Alkane 2. There are two methyl
groups attached to
the same carbon 1. Longest carbon chain is butane 3. Carbons are numbered
from side closest
to substituents 4. There are two methyl groups,
so the prefix di-
will be given 5. The final name is 2,2-dimethylbutane. 1 2 3 4 - Carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities, bonds are evenly arranged
- Molecule is non-polar
- Non-polar nature indicates weak intermolecular Van der Waals forces
- Low melting and boiling points
- Length of carbon chain has effect on the physical properties of alkanes
- Longer the carbon chain, the more likely it is to become 'entangled'
More energy required to untangle them
- Alkanes with longer carbon chains have higher melting and boiling points
-Alkanes are unreactive, does not react with acids, bases or oxidizing agents
Makes alkanes valuable for lubricating and structural materials such as plastics Properties of Alkanes Reactions Alkanes undergo complete combustion in the presence of oxygen Uses Alkanes are primarily used as fuels due to their combustive nature, releasing a lot of energy Examples include: Diesel Tar Gasoline Kerosene Cooking Oil Jet Fuel Sample Molecular Model:
Propane General Formula Alkene: CnH2n
Alkyne: CnH2n-2 Functional Group Alkenes are sp2 hybridized as the double-bonded carbon has only 3 s bonds Nomenclature Example 2: Naming an Alkene Example 3: Naming an Alkyne Physical Properties Reactions Method of Preparation Uses Molecular Models: General Formula Functional Group Hybridization A benzene ring is sp2 hybridized as the molecule is planar and all carbon atoms are bonded to three other atoms. Nomenclature Physical Properties Reactions Method of Preparation Molecular Model:
Benzene Example 4: Naming an Aromatic Hydrocarbon using Naming Convention #1 Uses When a benzene ring has lost one hydrogen atom, it is called a phenyl group, and behaves a substituent group. Functional groups replace hydrogen atom attached to central carbon
-Alkenyl and Alkynyl
Alkenes and Alkynes are more reactive
- they have double and triple bonds
- These bonds are less stable than single bonds, so they are more likely to take part in reactions ethylene propyne Alkenes:
Typically found in plastics
Shampoo bottles, polyethylene plastic bags
Used to synthesize compounds such as:
ethanol found in renewable fuel and polyvinyl chloride in ceiling tiles Benzene has been limited due to its harmful nature, but can still be found in:
•Paint remover
•Gasoline/Petroleum CnH2n-6 When a benzene ring has lost one hydrogen atom, it is called a phenyl group, and behaves a substituent group. An addition reaction is when one molecule adding to another to form a single molecule.
Result: a single bond instead of a double or triple bond is formed hydrogenation reaction: hydrogen atoms are added on both sides of a double or triple bond halogenation reaction: a halogen reacting with an alkene or alkyne to form an alkyl halide. hydration reaction: water reacting with an unsaturated hydrocarbon to form an alcohol hydrohalogenation reaction: a hydrogen halide reacting with an alkene or alkyne. 4 types of addition reactions can occur... Cracking: breakdown of larger and more complex organic molecules into simpler and lighter hydrocarbons. This is classified as an endothermic thermal decomposition reaction as heat is involved. Alkenes and alkynes are both non-polar Higher boiling and melting points when compared to alkanes More carbon atoms in their chain/ring exist as either liquids or gases at room temperature. Typically liquid at room temperature This is due to its non-polar nature as a result of a symmetrical structure
Generally insoluble in water Bonding within a benzene ring causes it to be quite stable
does not easily undergo addition reactions Though they are less reactive than alkenes, they are still more reactive than alkanes Catalytic reforming: a mixture of hydrocarbons is combined with hydrogen gas and is exposed to a platinum chloride catalyst Products are separated from mixture using a solvent
Benzene is isolated using distillation (separating the individual components based on their ability to vapourize in boiling water) Regarded as a parent molecule. It is represented by a hexagon with a circle inside all bond angles equal 120°. Hybridization and Molecular Structure stereoisomer: a molecule which shares the same chemical formula and basic chemical structure as another molecule, but differs in the arrangement of the atoms. cis isomer: in this case, the atoms (or groups of interest) are situated on the same side of the double bond. trans isomer: the atoms are situated on opposing sides of the double bond. Alkenes are sp2 hybridized as the double-bonded carbon has only 3 s bonds.
Alkynes are sp hybridized since a carbon atom containing a triple bond only has 2 s bonds. 2C4H10(g)+13O2(g) --> 8CO2(g)+10H2O(g)+ thermal energy Alkanes can also undergo substitution reactions, in which an alkane reacts with a halogen to form an alkyl halide and a hydrogen halide. CH4 + Cl2--> CH3Cl + HCl Greater electronegativity difference between halogen and carbon, so molecule will be polar. Therefore, melting and boiling points will be higher. 1) Does the length of a chain affect the boiling point? 2) What is the backbone of aromatic hydrocarbons called? 3) Cis isomers have groups located on the ____ side. Trans isomers have groups located on _____ sides. 4) What happens with alkanes in complete combustion with oxygen? 5) What are some uses of alkanes? Yes, the longer the chain, the higher the boiling point. Chemists take advantage of this fact to separate mixtures of alkanes (called fractional distillation) like crude oil from the ground. In addition, the temperature of mixture of hydrocarbon slowly increases. Benzene Same for cis, and opposite for trans There is a greater electronegativity difference between halogen and carbon, making it polar. The melting and boiling point will be high as well. Diesel, tar, kerosene, gas, cooking oil and jet fuel. It produces carbon dioxide, water and thermal energy. Questions Thank You! 1. Identify the longest carbon chain/ring
2. Determine whether the molecule contains a double or triple bond (double is an alkene and a suffix of -ene, triple is an alkyne and a suffix of -yne)
3. If there is more than one multiple bond, indicate using a suffix (i.e. -diene, -triene)
4. Number the carbon chain so that the multiple bond is given the lowest number
5. Name and number the substituents using the same rules as for alkanes
*If the multiple bond is found in the middle of the chain, begin numbering from the side closest to a substituent group 1. The longest carbon chain is pentane 2. This molecule contains double bonds, so it is an alkene 3. There are two double bonds at the first and third carbons, so the suffix -diene will be given 4. Carbon chain is numbered 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Therefore, the name of this alkene is penta-1,3-diene 1. The longest carbon chain is heptane 2. This molecule contains a triple bond, so it is an alkyne 3. There is only one triple bond, so no suffix is needed 4. Carbon chain is numbered. The triple bond is on the 3rd carbon. *Indicate the location of the multiple bond in the name of the parent chain. 5. There is an ethyl group on the fifth carbon. The name of this molecule will be 5-ethylhept-3-yne 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 1. The substituents are attached to the benzene ring, so the root name is -benzene. 2. Number the carbon ring so that the two closest substituents get the lowest number. 3. There are three methyl groups present on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th carbons The name of this molecule is
1,2,4-trimethylbenzene Example #5: Naming an Aromatic Hydrocarbon using Naming Convention #2 1 2 3 4 5 6 1. The longest carbon chain is hexane 2. Number the
carbon chain. 3. There is a phenyl group attached
to the third carbon This molecule is called 3-phenylhexane Two naming conventions Naming Convention #1: Benzene as the parent molecule
The root name will be -benzene
For a single group attached to the benzene ring, the name of the group attached is written before the root.
For two or more groups attached, the carbon atoms are numbered beginning from the first substituent
The numbering then continues in the direction of the next closest substituent. Naming Convention #2: Benzene as a substituent group In this case, the substituent will be referred to in the name of the compound as "phenyl". Alkynes:
Highly reactive
Found commonly as fuel in welding torches (oxyacetylene) 19th century Russian chemist Vladimir Markovnikov formulated Markovnikov's Rule, which is used to predict what product will form and how the atoms will be added to the double or triple bond. Markovnikov's Rule states:
"When a hydrogen halide or water molecule reacts with an alkene, the hydrogen atom will generally bond to the carbon atom in the multiple bond that has the most hydrogen atoms already bonded to it." Hydrocarbons - Organic molecules consisting of hydrogen and carbon only. Classes of Hydrocarbons

First shots with the new Lenses and Body
5 Attachment(s)
So I finally got most of the pieces I wanted to replace the Gear that was stolen so I went out last night and took a few shots. The light wasn't great but I am impressed.
The riding shots are from the boat with the T2i and 70-200 f2.8L lens. The 2 pics of the lake are with the new 16-35 f2.8L lens.
This level of equipment is new to me so feel free to tell me where I am going wrong.
Love the second shot....Any chance you want a foster child?
Very nice! I have both of those lenses and love them both. The riding shots are sharp and look great. You may want to experiment with turning the camera in the portrait position so you can get the water below the rider. Shots look great though! Keep it up and keep posting your work.
Rob, Good advice, I have to get use to using the button on the battery grip. These are all using the AF on mode 2 not sure if I would be better off locking the focus when the rider first gets up. The riding shots were shot at ISO 100 f2.8 1/4000 not sure if that is right but I will keep playing. Actually kind of fun to shoot pics instead of driving in circles all day.
try shooting from the shore. though the shots are good, shots from towboat aren't all that exciting.
Joe, I tend to agree. Not to mention Tony let me know. lol. Since we kind of figured out the one spot that all the pics were taken on the lake i was going to tie up to the slider we have right there so I can shoot from the side. I think all of those shots would have looked much better from a different angle. Just got a price on a waterproof housing for the camera with grip and both lenses so that will allow me to get closer to the action on the tube. waterhousing.com 995 for the housing, port adapter and 2 lens ports. Cant wait for that.
Try this... shoot in Aperture priority, ISO 100, and watch the shutter speed as you crank up the Aperture. If the light is bright you'll find you can probably get to 5.6-7.1 and still keep the shutter speed over 1/1000th. Shooting wide open (2.8) is great when you need it but you'll get an overall sharper image using 5.6-7.1. I very rarely shoot at 2.8 while shooting boarding. I even prefer to let me ISO creep up so I can keep my shutter fast enough while shooting over f4+
Hi Ben,
Those look great, it looks like the combo is focusing well. I agree with Rob, if you have the light lock the aperture at f4-f5.6 (or higher) and adjust the ISO to keep you at a minimum shutter of 1/1000th or more. While I like shooting at f2.8 with the 70-200 as well you just get more keepers in general stopped down a bit, more DOF and less chance of an OoF shot if the cam doesn't focus exactly where you're pointing it.
You mentioned the AF on mode 2, are you talking about the IS mode on the lens or are you talking about Aiservo mode on the camera (vs one shot)?
1 Attachment(s)
Well, I went out and tried Aperture Priority, Much better. I was able to keep the shutter fast and the aperture above f4. Much better. I played with a sequence shot just to see how it would look. I realized I should have adjusted all the pics to have the same light way to late to go back so you can see the difference but not bad for a first attempt.
Rich mode 2 is the IS mode on the lens. Also I am using Aiservo but not sure what the difference is between the settings. Also is it best to use single point AF or let the camera decide on Auto AF?
1 Attachment(s)
Here is a wake shot f4.5 1/1600 Loving this new set up
The lens setting is for the IS modes, setting 2 being the panning mode which disables horizontal IS when moving the camera horizontally. I've always just used mode 1 or turned off IS altogether because high shutter speeds kind of negate it's effects at the 70-200 focal length anyway.
As far as AF point selection goes I generally avoid all points when shooting WBing. I'll use either an outer point or center point but every Canon body behaves differently. Based on your shots I would say your camera is working fine the way you've got it set up but you'll have to decide ultimately based on the number of keepers you're getting.
Best just to experiment and see what gives you the best results. If you shoot hundreds of images you're going to get a bunch of good ones even if your settings aren't optimal, what you're looking for is settings which give you the highest number of in focus shots during any given session.
I do what Rich said, I usually manually set the outer focal point so I am leaving more space in the area in front of the rider. Depending on HS or TS, I will adjust the focal point I am using. When I am shooting from the shore I usually use just the center focal point but I have the Custom Settings set to where it will actually activate the points adjacent to the selected focal point. Pics are looking great! Just keep doing what is working for you.
Ben your getting good bud. Glad to see Tony still rippin!

Hooks with a rounded curve to them make excellent shrimp hooks. The problem is there that there are very few saltwater hooks of this type available; wide gap, arching type hooks are common for freshwater scud and shrimp patterns, however. One excellent hook made specifically for saltwater shrimp patterns is the Partridge CS-54 although finding them can be difficult sometimes. Without having to search for a special Shrimp hook, another solution is to tie a "bend down" type pattern. I tied the fly pictured above on a #8 Mustad 34007 with the forward portion of the shank bent down about 10 degrees. It creates a reasonably rounded topside curve without compromising hooking ability. Gamakatsu SC15 hooks might be another hook to consider for this type of pattern. - Super Hair: A small bunch of Super Hair is laid across the top of the fly and anchored with tying thread behind the eye. Then the 6# Monofilament fishing line is wound forward from the hook bend to the eye forming the segmented abdomen. That small bunch of Super Hair forms the Maxillapeds (mouthparts) at the bend, Carapace base (back)along the body and Uropods (tail) at the eye of the hook. Color used on this fly was Peach; other good choices for the Sound include Shrimp and Spier.

What it shows: A 42-second animation in which a graph overlay showing the downward fluctuations in the multi-year Arctic Sea ice area from 1980 to 2012 is superimposed over a view of the Earth. While the gray disk at the North Pole remains in view, the white shading representing multi-year ice cover—ice that has lasted at least two summers—shifts in shape, with the total area coverage corresponding to the graph overlay. The area of multi-year ice in the Artic Sea is shrinking by 17.2 percent per decade in this period, according to research by Josefino Comiso, a senior scientist at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
Source of the data: Comiso created a time series of multi-year ice using 32 years (from 1980 to 2012) of passive microwave data from two sources: NASA's Nimbus-7 satellite and the Defense Department's Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.
What the animator did: In an interview, Cindy Starr, a computer scientist and animator at the NASA/Goddard Scientific Visualization Studio in Greenbelt, Md., said she received the data analysis from Comiso's team with the biggest challenge solved—reconciling data sets (one set per year of special sensor microwave/imager (SSMI) data) from two different satellites, given that the Nimbu-7 was launched in the late 1970s and yielded relatively low-resolution data compared to the newer satellite.
Because Comiso has been researching climate for 20 decades, and the Visualization Studio has prepared other presentations, Starr said she was able to use some of the techniques her colleagues have used to prepare the Arctic Sea ice graphical overlay. But unlike previous projects, which added data to previously existing time series, this visualization represented a new set of data about multi-year sea ice. She used IDL, or Interactive Data Language, to translate the binary data into a format to be ingested by two visualization tools—Maya, the 3-D animation software package from Autodesk, and RenderMan, the visual special effects rendering software from Pixar. The images of the Earth come from the work of NASA's Reto Stockli and NASA's Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer, or MODIS.
Key presentation choice: Overlaying the graph over the Earth. "Because the shape changes from year to year, where some parts of the shape bulge out and others recede, it's hard to look at the data itself" and find meaning, Starr said. "The shape [of the ice] is continually changing, it morphs every year. That is the reason why we started to put the chart over the top. When you see the area values on the chart, it's very clear to see what is going on."

text: All is as been rather quiet on the public engagement front since my first full academic year at Cambridge began back in October. But whilst in person I have been absorbed by the pleasures and demands of teaching and administration, the 'Close Reading' broadcasts for BBC Radio 4's Open Book programme have been going out steadily every month or so and have been received very well by the public, which is wonderful. The fifth episode will be broadcast this Sunday 24th May, in which I wrestle with a challenging passage from near the opening of Ian McEwan's disturbing novel Enduring Love. Check out my radio pages for links to all the aired broadcasts in the Close Reading Series, covering Elizabeth Bowen, Aldous Huxley, Muriel Spark and Katherine Mansfield.

Bologna President Albano Guaraldi explains why Sunday's game with Juventus had to be called off [12].
"Despite fact we worked every day to keep the pitch clear until Friday evening, the heavy snowfall over night made it too dangerous," explained Guaraldi.
"We could not guarantee the safety of the stadium, the fans coming into the arena or the roads around it, so a unanimous decision was made to postpone the match.
"It will probably be played on March 7 at 18.30 (17.30 UK time, ndr)."
This is the second Bologna home game to be snowed off in the last few weeks, as their tie with Fiorentina was also postponed.
The Emilia-Romagna region has had the worst of the record-breaking arctic weather sweeping across Italy, leading to blizzards that shut down schools, roads and airports.

Should there be a path to citizenship?
Updated 4:33 pm, Friday, January 11, 2013
Congress will face many questions when it takes on immigration this year: Should illegal immigrants be given legal status? Should we raise or lower the number of new immigrants? Should we shift toward taking more skilled workers and fewer relatives of earlier immigrants?
But there's another question that has bedeviled our immigration policy for hundreds of years: Should newcomers, or illegal immigrants receiving amnesty, be put on a path to citizenship or be given a status that would permit them to legally work and travel but wouldn't culminate in citizenship?
This is shaping up as a dividing line between the major political parties. Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida made waves last year by suggesting an amnesty for young illegal immigrants who came here as children (one of the many spin-offs of the Dream Act), but giving them work visas rather than citizenship. Something along these lines was introduced late last year in the form of the Achieve Act by retiring Republican Sens. Jon Kyl of Arizona and Kay Bailey Hutchison of Texas. Even the conservative policy journal National Affairs has an article by a respected political scientist making the case for such an approach for the bulk of the illegal immigrant population.
Democrats generally have pressed for a path to full citizenship for illegal immigrants and for future foreign workers. As far back as 1885, the embryonic labor movement helped pass the Alien Contract Labor Law, which prohibited the importation of guest workers. More recently, the issue caused dissension within the labor movement during the 2006-07 round of immigration debates. The Service Employees International Union made a strategic decision to ally with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in supporting a large guest worker program as the price of passing a "comprehensive" immigration reform bill. The AFL-CIO, on the other hand, stayed true to its opposition to contract labor, as did a number of Senate Democrats, including Barack Obama.
A number of arguments are offered for the non-citizenship approach:
First - and this is more a sentiment than an argument - the previous big amnesty gave full immigrant status to illegal immigrants, and it was a colossal failure. The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 didn't fail because of the kind of status offered, of course (it failed because promises to enforce the law in the future were ignored), but it rightly leaves a bad taste in the mouth. More practically, as Boston College Professor Peter Skerry points out in the aforementioned National Affairs article, by 2009, fully two decades after getting their green cards, only about 41 percent of the 2.7 million illegal immigrants who benefited from the 1986 law had become naturalized citizens.
Some claim that giving illegal immigrants work visas rather than citizenship is an appropriate punishment, given that they knew what they were doing when they settled here illegally, and subsequently broke a whole series of other laws - tax fraud, identity theft, etc. Skerry calls it "a clear and decisive penalty." This has some merit, because the other penalties that illegal immigrants would be subject to under various reform proposals - notably large fines - are merely for public consumption. Few illegal immigrants could afford $10,000 per person to become legal residents, and so the fines would certainly be waived, resulting in no real penalty at all.
Another appeal of the non-citizenship option is that it somehow would not represent amnesty. Politicians on the left and the right are constantly trying to weasel out of the word "amnesty," even though that's the word for legalizing illegal immigrants. But focus-group research told amnesty supporters that the word was to be avoided and, ever since, they've insisted that some feature or other makes their latest proposal "not amnesty."
Visa holders would also not be able to sponsor future immigrants. That means both that such an amnesty wouldn't spark a significant wave of additional immigration down the road and also that the relatives of today's illegal immigrants would not be rewarded with citizenship themselves.
Finally, giving illegal immigrants or foreign workers a status short of citizenship keeps them from voting. This isn't as clear an indictment of Republican supporters of this approach as it may seem; Democrats from Barney Frank to SEIU President Eliseo Medina have been explicit in promoting mass immigration for nakedly political purposes, so it's no surprise that their opponents should also consider its political impact.
My own view is that we should admit fewer foreign workers, not more, and that amnesty is appropriate at this time only for illegal immigrants who've lived here since they were infants or toddlers. But whomever we do admit, or give amnesty to, should be given a path to full membership in our society. The alternative moves us toward the kind of two-tiered society we see in Saudi Arabia, a model we should do our best to avoid.
Mark Krikorian is the executive director of the Center for Immigration Studies.

A constitutional attorney says he's troubled by the Florida Supreme Court's recent decision to strike down the state's school voucher law.
On Thursday (Jan. 5), the highest court in the Sunshine State ruled that the nation's first statewide system that allows some children to attend private schools at taxpayer expense violates the Florida Constitution. Voting 5-2, the court's justices determined the Florida Opportunity Scholarship Program is illegal under the constitution because it sets up an "alternative system" that is not accountable to the state.
In its ruling, the court stated that "diversion of money not only reduces public funds for a public education but also uses public funds to provide an alternative education in private schools that are not subject to the 'uniformity' requirements for public schools." The program currently serves about 700 children in Florida.
The Florida Constitution requires a uniform system of free public schools. Brian Fahling, senior trial attorney with the American Family Association Center for Law & Policy, believes a majority of the justices misconstrued the uniformity requirement.
"I think that's a pretty strange reading of the Florida constitution," Fahling asserts. "Certainly common sense would suggest that you're not talking about schools being homogenous." The attorney suggests that uniformity under the state constitution "really means with respect to availability — but not, for instance, that every school in Florida ought to be a failing public school."
The AFA attorney contends the decision to toss out the voucher system was based on strained reasoning and defies common sense. In addition, he views the ruling as being "fairly hostile to the idea of private schools and [to] the idea that there would be any competition introduced into the marketplace in the area of education or public education."
"It's a troubling decision," Fahling adds. "I think it's really a setback for the people of the state of Florida."
Opponents of the voucher law included the Florida Education Association, the Florida PTA, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and other liberal groups. The US Department of Justice was among the groups that filed "friend of the court" briefs in support of the voucher program.
The Washington Post reports that proponents of the Florida voucher program intend to pursue other avenues for continuing its availability, such as amending the state constitution or appealing yesterday's decision to the US Supreme Court. The Florida Supreme Court's ruling is not expected to have a direct impact on school voucher programs in other states, although it may motivate supporters to closely examine the programs to ensure they are in compliance with their state laws. In fact, officials with the Kansas Board of Education — on the same day as the Florida ruling — announced they were going to delay a vote on a school voucher program that would give at-risk and special education students public money for private school.

Behind the scenes in Brussels: a world where lobbyists oil every decision
Companies invest millions ensuring their people have access to EU policymakers
Former Maltese health commissioner John Dalli: resigned last autumn, prompted by an Olaf investigation into his role in an alleged bribery scandal involving the tobacco industry. Photograph: Georges Gobet/AFP/Getty Images
Amid the swirl of emails that routinely file into the crowded inbox of a Brussels-based journalist, one in particular stood out. "We are pleased to invite you to the launch of the fifth edition of A Guide to Effective Lobbying in Europe. Kindly confirm your participation by 31st May," it notes, before adding that EU commissioner Maros Sefcovic will deliver a keynote speech.
The invitation encapsulates the prevalence – and acceptability – of lobbying in Brussels. The image of slick businessmen with sharp suits and strong handshakes sliding through the corridors of power is not wide of the mark, as companies invest millions in ensuring their people have access to EU policymakers. As in Washington DC, lobbying in the Belgian capital is a formalised part of life.
For many, the prevalence of lobbying is a disturbing indication of the uncomfortable relationship between big business and politics. But others argue that lobbying is important for democracy. Article 11 of the European Union Treaty states that EU institutions should engage with stakeholders and all "parties concerned" when carrying out their activities. "The institutions shall, by appropriate means, give citizens and representative associations the opportunity to make known and publicly exchange their views in all areas of union action," it states.
EU policymakers should have access to opinions when making decisions, the argument goes, particularly when enterprise and private sector activity are at stake.
Corruption allegations
This week one of the most serious EU corruption allegations in recent years reared its head again in Brussels, when the head of the anti-fraud office, Olaf, appeared before a European Parliament committee. The former Maltese health commissioner, John Dalli, resigned last autumn, a resignation prompted by an Olaf investigation into his role in an alleged bribery scandal involving the tobacco industry. Maltese businessman Silvio Zammit, a friend of Mr Dalli, was accused of soliciting a €60 million bribe from a Swedish maker of snus, a tobacco product banned in all EU countries except Sweden, in exchange for securing a change in EU policy on the legality of snus. The extent of Dalli's knowledge of the alleged bribe has been the focus of the investigation. Dalli was in Brussels this week, meeting MEPs and journalists, to tell his side of the story. The European Commission and Olaf have also been forced to defend the handling of the resignation.
The affair has shed a light on the shadowy world of lobbying, but particularly the power of the tobacco lobby. The revelation last week in this newspaper that the Taoiseach met senior tobacco industry figures has raised uncomfortable questions for the Government, even as it swiftly moved to demonstrate its commitment to anti-smoking a few days later by announcing plain cigarette packaging. In Brussels, the tobacco industry is heavily represented, with up to 100 full-time lobbyists. But it is not just tobacco companies. Individual member states with large indigenous tobacco industries, such as Poland, are strongly resistant to more restrictive legislation.
While the Dalli affair has turned a spotlight on the tobacco lobby, focus will soon turn to the imminent reform of the EU's transparency register. Close to 5,500 organisations are listed on the register, established in 2011. While transparency activists are strongly critical of its voluntary nature, the EU points out that most serious lobby groups must be on the register to qualify for meetings with MEPs. It also points to the difficulties in defining and quantifying lobbyists.
The commission defines lobbying as "all activities carried out with the objective of influencing the policy formulation and decision-making processes of the European institutions".
Under this definition, lobbying is not confined to big business, but extends to other representative bodies such as NGOs, religious and social advocacy groups.
In a sphere where influencing policy is perceived as a democratic right, the primary focus in the upcoming reform of transparency rules is likely to be on bringing lobbyists out of the shadows rather than on tackling the existence of the multimillion euro activity.
This is a world where an EU commissioner attending the launch of a book on lobbying is not just perceived as appropriate, but is applauded.

Vaughan Eyes Tough Test
SUNDERLAND midfielder David Vaughan is expecting a tough fixture as the Black Cats visit W12
Under new management the green shoots of recovery are starting to display at the Stadium of Light. Martin O'Neill's experienced hand is looking to guide the Black Cats away from the danger zone.
A chance to leapfrog hosts Queens Park Rangers is in the offing this weekend and Welsh international Vaughan believes that they will have to summon all their courage to come away with a positive result.
'It's a tight ground with an intimidating atmosphere,' he told SAFC.com
'We'll have to have the courage to get on the ball and force the result we want.
'They'll want to get back on track after their defeat to Manchester United, and so we will after losing at Spurs.
'It should be an entertaining game.'
Vaughan featured twice against QPR for Blackpool as they achieved promotion to the Premier League, so he will undoubtedly appreciate the apetite that should be coursing through the Rangers squad at present.
The last time the two sides met at Loftus Road, Ray Jones was on the scoresheet as QPR lost out at home to the eventually promoted Black Cats.

The design and synthesis of $\beta$-D-glucose derived peptidomimetics and the discovery of a novel etherification protocol
The design and syntheses of several $\beta$- scD-glucose derived non-peptide peptidomimetics for the peptide hormone somatostatin and the neurotransmitter substance P are described. Based on SAR data, manipulations in the peptidomimetic scaffold were made in attempts to improve affinity for these G-protein coupled receptors. Manipulations include conversion from an O-glycoside to a C-glycoside, incorporation of 4-fluorophenol, 4-fluorobenzyl, 2-methylnaphthyl and/or picolyl moieties, and conversion from the glucose to the glucosamine scaffold. Assay results obtained for these new analogs range from low nanomolar affinity to complete inactivity culminating in hypotheses concerning binding orientations, optimal side chain length, and solubilizing properties.^ During the synthesis of the above peptidomimetics, a novel etherification protocol was discovered. Treatment of a sugar alcohol with the triflate of 5-azidopentanol led to etherification in vacuo without the addition of solvent or base. This mild method was utilized in the synthesis of over 25 carbohydrates and was essential for the preparation of several base sensitive sugars. Studies on the utility of this novel reaction were initiated and the scope of this method is not limited to carbohydrates or simple primary alcohols.^ The design of future peptidomimetics was based on known potent literature compounds in conjunction with the SARs obtained in this dissertation. Properties which we wish to expand on include solubility, oral bioavailability, and specificity in addition to affinity. The $\beta$- scD-glucose scaffold has proven itself as a privileged platform on which potent peptidomimetics have been derived for both somatostatin and substance P and these peptidomimetics have provided valuable information about these receptors not revealed by their endogenous ligands. ^

In Dokuro, you play as a skeleton dude who's trying to rescue a princess from his own master. Yeah, that's not going to bode well for our hero. Regardless of that, the charming fellow wants to help this princess, and help her he will! You'll progress in the game by solving different puzzles and opening paths for the princess to pass through.
Dokuro features a lovely art style, adorable characters, and fairytale themes. The whole thing looks pretty great, and if you're a Vita owner looking for a new game, definitely keep an eye on this one.
You can expect to play Dokuro next month when it launches on the PlayStation Network.

The psychology of the day: Christmas gifts and other considerations
I remember in the OJ trial, I was interested in the prosecution's recreation of the mental state of OJ on that day: child's recital, being excluded for dinner at the restaurant etc.
In this case too, I was most interested in the Ramseys' own book's narrative of the events of the day preceding JBR's death. I believe that the better clues come straight from the horse's mouth, not because of the truthfulness of this and that assertion but because of what may be inadvertently given away.
Since I also believe that JonBenet's death was the result of an uncontrollable anger blow-up within the family (although I recognize that what I am about to write makes it difficult to say WHO could have had a fit of temper) I was particularly interested in WHAT events would stick out in the adult Ramsey's memory from that day so much that they would include them in a book - after all if a picture is a thousand words - then a day offers zillions of possibilities. Okay gonna post the second part of this separately cause this is getting too long.

So here is what I found to be thought-provoking.
Though I'm sure that those kids received more than one present, there were two that seemed to stand out in the narrative, . (I think a third one of a bicycle (I forget to whom) was also mentioned.)
One of these was the life-sized doll of a replica of JonBenet dressed in one of her costumes which, apparently Patsy had gone to great trouble to order and thought a lot of, whereas JonBenet was apparently not impressed by it. The remark is made that it's funny that gifts that the parents think will be a big deal - turn out to not be for the kids and it is either stated or implied that Patsy was disappointed by JonBenet's reaction.
We know that Burke, on the other hand, received that year's latest Nintendo set, which my then 8 year-old also wanted and got, and which he was so nuts about that I had a hard time separating him from that thing most of his waking hours. We know this because when Burke leaves the house, he takes it with him, which also points to his interest (and might be considered a bit strange to think of it if his sister has just been found dead but whatever ... maybe not).
Not much was said about the Nintendo set in the Ramsey book but those of you familiar with the gadget know that it was a huge hit with kids. The doll, however, received a fair amount of attention. I remember posts commenting on what a strange idea this gift was and I admit that I side with them. I think that the varying interest of these two gifts on the part of JonBenet could well have been the issue of a spat between brother and sister. On the other hand, it is also possible that Patsy, on that particular day, may have seen her daughter as an ungrateful little brat and not feeling much patience towards her. If memory serves, someone recalls JonBenet looking glum and when asked why, answering that she didn't feel pretty. Was this incited by a mother who was resenting her ungratefulness on that day?
I know some of you will think this is all meaningless, but I think the answers to this death lie on the state of mind of the Ramseys on that particular day - just like the OJ case - and fatal blows arising out of anger because someone lost it rely on the psychology of the moment.
P.S. What was Patsy thinking in making such a big deal about that gift? What was the child supposed to DO with it - as opposed to the brother's gift which was all about new and inventive interaction? I also think that this shows that the mother was much more obssessed with the pageant thing than the daughter may have been. Personally I think that the gift of a life-sized doll is somewhat creepy.
Edited to add: it also shows that the mother was out of touch with the child's interests and not happy with the daughter's behaviour not corresponding to her expectations.

Do we know if JBR ever showed any interest in the Nintendo? It has often been said on the forum that it's surprising that Burke should be given the Nintendo for Christmas and, without getting a chance to play it, went straight to bed that night. Some people have the theory that JBR went to Burke's room to secretly play with him on the Nintendo with him and Burke eventually killed her.
Was JBR perhaps jealous that she didn't get a decent present, envied Burke for his Nintendo and sneaked off to his room to share in his more interesting present? Or maybe she wasn't interest in Nintendos at all???
I just don't find the reasoning behind this as anything but reaching for straws. I know LOTS of girls that thought it was the best gift in the world to get those life-sized Barbies and then dress like them. They also have American Girls that you can dress like. I made my step-daughters dresses that matched their dolls for Christmas one year. So I don't think it's a strange gift. It sounds like she went through a lot of trouble to do this gift for her and she was hurt that it was not such a big hit afterall. This has definitely happened to me. I remember feeling so horrible for not getting it right and my child not as excited about a gift that I was. You might hear more about that gift because it was foremost in her mind. If she was like me then she probably felt like she let her daughter down by not having that exciting gift for her. I still remember the disappointment I felt over the gift like that I gave my daughter and she didn't like. I will never forget it either. I think it's because I LOVE giving so much and I always want Christmas to be very special for my children. But that one gift was a real clunker and it ruined almost the entire celebration for me even though my other three were very excited.
Now I'm not saying this to back up the Ramsey's. I am totally a fence sitter and watching to see what happens.
I agree wholeheartedly that the Ramsey's state of mind that Christmas is absolutely key.
While many 6-year-old girls would love to receive a lifesize doll to dress and play with, it was stated in the Ramsey's book that JBR wasn't really into it. I would assume she received other gifts from her parents (and I only assume that because we always got Santa gifts AND a few gifts from our parents), but if the doll was the big one and was built up as the big one and then it was a flop, I'm sure Patsy would have been disappointed.
I've seen no evidence that JBR would have had any interest in a Ninetendo either.
Christmas is a day charged with high emotions for most families. I've had Christmas Days spent with young children and I'll admit that by the end of many of those Christmases, I couldn't WAIT to get them in bed and out of my hair. Maybe JBR threw a big 6-year-old hissy fit (those are always fun!) about that doll. Or maybe her Mom said it was just for display and not play and that made her angry.
I'm feel that this was an inside job - and I don't think it was Burke - so I do believe that one of the adults snapped that Christmas.

The game unfortunately was for just one player and, not only that, it was one of these level jobs where the whole "saving" the game issue was inherently important to the logic of the game. It certainly fascinated not just little boys in my extended family but also little girls AND adults because , for the time, it was graphically well made. Now I can't shake the idea that perhaps a rough scuffle ensued over that game because in our house, everybody was dying to get their hands on it. I doubt that the Ramsey kids were any different. So the brother could have gotten angry because she was wanting to take it from him, or maybe she got to it and erased everything he had accomplished it ... who knows. But it's out of these seemingly insignificant details that kids' anger arises, though Patsy could also have been feeling some re: this whole gift thing.
A word to the poster who spoke of the life-sized Barbie. I also once gave a gift of a huge Dora doll to a child who was roughly the same size of the doll, though she loved it. I think the issue here that posters in 2000 found creepy is not the "life-size" aspect of the doll but rather the true-to-life replica of it. I think that could have been unsettling.
Insofar as Christmas for many kids is mainly about gifts, on Christmas day, it wouldn't be surprising if this was on both on the kids' minds AND the mom. It clearly mattered enough for it to be mentioned in their book. However, like I said earlier, this issue could lead to an outburst of anger from Burke but also of an outburst of anger from Patsy. I just wish I knew more about their respective tempers.

However, what if the child's rejection of the gift was not particularly gracious and one HAD put so much effort into it (which I am sure that Patsy did) and then "clunk" as you more or less said. The book states that Patsy was disappointed - it might be John's narration that mentions that. (Wasn't it? I don't feel like digging the book up now, but maybe will later.)
Okay, well so much for the morning. Now, according to their account, John leaves for a good part of the afternoon between the gifts and the party they went to. (I actually found THAT a little bit odd when I read it but ... whatever). So off they go to the party. Was it at the Whites'? Can't remember. Now it is important to know (as most of you do) that JonBenet's toilet issues were a little bit more severe than the norm. She would not just urinate in her sleep and in her pants during the day, she also was known to soil her pants and, according to Patsy's mom "not wipe properly". Why did even the grandma bring this up to the LE people during their conversations?
Could it be that "she was not feeling pretty" because an accident of this nature had happened and she had been told that "it was not pretty" to do that?
Then, upon getting home, I thought that Patsy had to prepare her and her things for some pageant. Everyone is no doubt tired and there has been disappointment earlier, maybe an accident at the party. So, I think that Thomas comes to a good conclusion which fits the mental state of the day: Patsy is probably feeling like she's had it up to here - hubby gone all afternoon, maybe kids fighting over a game, maybe with all the excitement an accident or two from the part of JonBenet who may have acted bratty and ungrateful about her big gift. Now Patsy has to prepare everything for a pageant and for the trip early the next morning. So maybe all there was was failure to cooperate on the part of JonBenet and an additional toileting incident would have been the straw that broke the camel's back and ... snap.
I say that either Thomas is right within the framework of something like the above scenario OR the kids sneak to the game and a fight over it ensues in accidental death.

I dont know much about the my Twinn Dolls..but Im gathering that they are specially made to look like the reciever of the gift.
If so could that have been the reason JB was still upset that night...she thought the doll wasnt pretty therfore neither was she.
The dissappointment with this gift could have carried on all through the day and into the night.
JB was also said to be feeling ill Christmas morning and spent time in her bedroom....could this have been a case of the sulks?

Very Interest Post! Several of my adult cousins have had these large dolls made to look like their children. I can't remember the name of the dolls, but they came from New York and were terribly expensive. I always thought they were stupid, but then I was never into dolls that were meant to look at and virtually never play with.
In my opinion, JBR's reaction to the doll facimili of her was similar to the tiff the night of the party when she verbalized that she did not want to wear a sweater similar to her mother's. (PR wanted her to wear a red sweater and black velvet pants so that they would be dressed alike.) My mother always had dresses made for me which matched hers when I was young. (Actually, until I was in about the 5th gade... ( I always knew there was some reason why I am such 'damaged merchandise'!!) My extended family all dresses alike at Christmas. Each female of each individual family wears the exact same outfit as her closest female relatives. (and to make it even sicker the males wear coordinating colored shirts!) Extremely Corny!!!!!!!!!! I know! I thought it was fun for a few years and I went along, but I quit doing it many years ago and got poo-pooed on by my family for it. I also am guilty of buying matching shirts for my two sons who are three years apart in age... This came to an abrupt halt when they grew up enough to exert their own independance. (I highly respected them for it.)
The issue with JBR that most concerns me about this is her saying she was not pretty. Wasn't it said that some lady saw her crying on the steps and asked her what was wrong....and that was the reason she gave???
Was this a comment from a child who was damaged by being made-up and paraded around as if she were an object rather than a person with feelings at such a very young age that it had totally warped her internal value system by the age of SIX??? Were her reactions to the doll because it was suppose to look like her and she felt unpretty but no one bothered to notice these !!!!!! signs!!!!! of a kid needing much different forms of parenting than she was receiving????
Or were they the remarks of a child who had been molested? From personal childhood experience, I can tell you nothing in my life made me feel less attractive or less worthy....
As for the bedwetting and soiling...why were common sense solutions such as setting an alarm to go during the night to get them accustom to awakening tried? What about spending some cash on the little sensor belts which alarm at the first sign of wetness? These are prescribed by doctors for heavens sake... Were there alternative methods reported that showed PR ever interveined as a Mother and tried to help her cope or fix JBR's issues with wetting and soiling? All I have read were the reports that JBR was scolded for soiling and wetting and those reports from the housekeeper which said JBR seemed to feel that the bathroom as the place of punishment and that she often heard her crying from the bathroom.
In my opinion this child viewed herself in a very negative light and would have benefited greatly from a day of making mudpies in the backyard with her mother and then over and over agin with some friends her own age... (but then I was just an elementary school teacher... What do I know?...)

My Twinn website: http://www.mytwinn.com/
As for the Nintendo being a one player game, etc. I was in college in 1996 and there were definately 2 player games out back then. I think there was even Playstation then- the 1st version.

One thing that strikes me about the Ramseys' book was that I don't remember Burke being mentioned very much. Can someone who read the book confirm that?

Of course she didn't feel "pretty" when she had to be ordinary Jonbenet.
She started wearing heavy makeup at 4, had her hair styled in elaborate coifs for the pageants....wore feathers and satin high heels.
Then she went home and was supposed to be a little kid again.
Most women who regularly wear makeup don't feel "pretty" when they don't have it on.
It's a learned thing.

The Tomahawk Sports Bar & Grill Review (@TomahawkTally)
I'll admit it, I wasn't planning on making my first trip to The Tomahawk Sports Bar & Grill last week. I intended to go to Bird's Aphrodisiac Oyster Shack, but the parking situation there at 11:45am was brutal. So, I headed off to Tomahawk with a friend where the parking was much better. The last time I was there was back in college when it was The Loop and Tallahassee dining options were far fewer than they are today.
Tomahawk is a welcome change from The Loop!
The Jammin Jamaican Burger with French Fries
I asked our waitress what I should try, and she suggested the Jammin Jamaican burger. The Jammin is a double patty burger with Pepper Jack cheese, jerk sauce and pineapple. It sounded interesting to me, so I went with her recommendation. It wasn't long before this hot juicy burger made it to the booth:
The burger was definitely worth the $9 and Tomahawk seems like its well suited to any lunch day if you're near campus or downtown Tallahassee. At night, it must be a great spot to catch a bunch of games on the numerous TVs. I'm glad that I ended up where I did for lunch. Good service + a good burger = a good review! I marked The Tomahawk Sports Bar and Grill as "I like it" on Urbanspoon and I'll definitely be back in the future to try something else on the menu! For another perspective on The Tomahawk Sports Bar & Grill check out the review on Sweet Tea & Bourbon.
