MALVERN, PA -- USA Technologies is expanding its JumpStart cashless vending program, which is designed to make operator implementation fast and cost-effective.
JumpStart originally offered vending operators and bottlers the opportunity to acquire USAT's ePort Edge cashless terminal at no cost and to pay a low monthly service fee thereafter -- eliminating the need for substantial initial investment.
The ePort Edge, which won an Innovation Award from the National Automatic Merchandising Association at the recent OneShow in Chicago (see story), is a one-piece cashless reader and controller that accepts conventional swipe cards. It is equipped to comply with Payment Card Industry (PCI) Level 1 security requirements.
The swift success of JumpStart has led USAT to offer its state-of-the-art ePort G8 terminal as an option. The ePort G8 is a two-piece design with a reader bezel that can be mounted in a vender's standard bill validator opening, or surface-mounted up to three feet away from the controller. It not only reads magnetic-stripe cards, but also proximity cards like PayPass, payWave, Zip and ExpressPay. It can accommodate "m-commerce" transactions made with mobile phones equipped for near field communications, as well as First Data's Go-Tag, a "smart" sticker that can be affixed to a phone (or many other things) to provide NFC-like cashless capability.
Also new in JumpStart is a "GoBo" (Get one, Buy one) plan that enables operator customers to obtain hardware devices free of charge if they commit to purchasing the same number of devices by December 31 of this year.
The JumpStart package also includes USAT's comprehensive ePort Connect services package for wireless connectivity, card processing, consumer services and online reporting, as well as over-the-air (OTA) machine alerts.
USA Technologies president Stephen P. Herbert reported that JumpStart has been very successful to date. Operators have committed to take some 12,300 devices, he said, "and interest in the program continues to grow."
The JumpStart program has contributed to the number of cashless connections USAT has added to its USALive Network, and accounts for about 79% of ePort unit shipments during the quarter ended March 31, the company said. As of that date, there were some 73,000 devices connected to the USALive Network, which exceeded the company's goal of 71,000.
Herbert attributed this market acceptance to the simplicity USAT brings to what otherwise can be a complex and tedious process. "With ePort Connect, we take care of everything for our customers, from merchant account setup and wireless SIM activation, to business deployment planning and '24/7' customer service and support," he said.
Vic Pemberton, president of Pepi Food Services (Bainbridge, GA), noted that the program's orientation toward operating company needs and its straightforward approach are attractive.
"The JumpStart program is helping our company accelerate the deployment of the ePort cashless payment system in our vending machines," Pemberton reported. "Because we have no capital outlay, we can install ePorts quickly and enjoy the benefits right away. And with USAT helping us with deployment planning, we know we are putting the ePorts where they will make us the most money."

- Double clicking on the window bar does not maximize windows, even if the window management settings say it should. Not sure if this is a Xubuntu or an XFCE issue.
- Thunar is lightning fast once it's been run for the first time, but the first run takes longer than I was expecting from such a lightweight file manager. On the same hardware, Dolphin needs less time for that first run under Kubuntu.
- When booting the system, once I enter my credentials on the Xubuntu login screen, the time to load the desktop is a bit slower than usual with other distros/DEs.
- Configuring automounting external drives on startup is not possible through the UI (at least I didn't find how), so I had to do a bit of
- Loading Conky scripts as I ran them in Ubuntu didn't bring the expected results. The Conky window was not below nor transparent, so I had to do a bit of research before I found the right parameters to make it work correctly.

Xubuntu 12.04 REVIEW

nice review & desktop configurationReplyDelete
Hello! I'd like your config file Conky for me..ReplyDelete
- AnonymousMay 12, 2012 at 12:08 AM
With Xfce/Xubuntu, you can manage removable drives by opening Thunar's 'preferences' dialogue and clicking on the 'advanced' tab.ReplyDelete
You might want to try PCManFM, which works like Thunar but has a multi-folder, tabbed interface.
Dolphin works fine as well, although it brings along ca. 100MB of KDE dependencies, which is a lot for a file manager.
Finally, tint2 will let you switch efficiently among open programs and from one virtual desktop to another. Very efficient; supplements the basic Xfce dock nicely, and it all looks great with the Faenza icons.
@Green Tea: That's conky grey I am using. The changes I had to make to it in order to get it to work correctly were:ReplyDelete
own_window_type normal (as opposed to override)
own_window_argb_visual yes - To force transparency
own_window_argb_value 0 - 100% transparency
@Anonymous: The removable drive tip that you mention is the same I have tried because the advanced tab takes you to the same screen you get to from System Preferences. In there, the only option I see to automatically mount external drives like that is "Mount removable drives when hot plugged", which was ticked to start with and never worked for me.
I am happy with Thunar as is, and if I want more power or other features, Kubuntu is right there for me to run Dolphin natively. Benefits of multibooting! :)
As for tint2, it looks interesting, I will give it a go at some point.
How did you manage to lose the black background on the Cairo dock and get that translucent effect?
Your blog post was immensely helpful in customizing my install.
@Nikhil: Glad it helped. I didn't do anything, just chose the elementary theme in Cairo dock and that was it.ReplyDelete

"...(expect an Ubuntu Studio 12.04 review soon!.)..." ?ReplyDelete
Thanks for the Xubuntu 12.04 review, ...and can't wait for the UbuntuStudio 12.04 review.
Have you had a chance to play around with US-12.04 yet ?
Yes, I have been using it for the last few days and I am very happy with it. It took me a couple hours to get my Ubuntu 9.04 setup back to live (configure Jack, create drum libraries again, etc.), but it is rocking now.Delete
Back in the Jaunty days, there were many things I had to give up on, like having wireless or using my two soundcards at the same time (was probably possible, but would require tons of researching and trial/error, and I couldn´t be bothered), and it all works pretty straightforward, easier than ever.
Hopefully will get the review out next week!

"...I do enjoy the new desktop paradigms GNOME Shell and/or Unity propose and I use both regularly..."ReplyDelete
Is that why you're now playing around with Kubuntu, and Xubuntu as you said ?
Ubuntu/Unity/Gnome SHell SUCK the big one, and everyone else knows it. just get a Tablet of you want Unity.Replies
That´s really not it... I have used KDE for years, way before any of the new stuff appeared. Xubuntu is just another distro I have tried and liked, but like I said, I have Unity and GNOME Shell in my other machines and use them regularly. Both are great and I am particularly happy with GNOME Shell, just a shame that nobody takes the time to give it a proper chance or learn the couple things that are needed for a proper experience.Delete
Btw, for a tablet I would get Plasma Active... ;-)
Hey I just installed xubuntu on my laptop.ReplyDelete
unfortunately being with 512 ram my laptop is but sluggish on Ubuntu and Kubuntu is out of reach.
so i installed xubuntu.
nice post, This is the first post i read after installing xubuntu. I just installed and i quote "Faenza icon set, the Ambience theme and window decoration and then changed fonts from Android to Ubuntu. Cairo Dock, Conky and a fitting wallpaper complete the list of changes"
Keep it up !!Replies

Nice review, for the Thunar issue check the Xubuntu FAQ (#2):ReplyDelete
Thanks for the tip and glad you liked the review!ReplyDelete

Great review, I love xubuntu also. I was a huge Ubuntu 10.10 fan and really hate Unity, I tried Cinnamon and Gnome classic on top of Ubuntu 12.04 but it just was not the same. It took me a little to figure out how to setup panels but once I did it was really great. I somehow deleted the Mac like panel at the bottom and can't figure out how to get it back but that is ok, I don't really need it.ReplyDelete

xubuntu is now my main distro. I use crunchbang or antix mepis for machines under 1ghz and SliTaz for my 300mhz dinosaur. Mint 13 is good for machines that are only 3 or 4 years old.ReplyDelete
Does macro from libreoffice calc work on gnumeric? I still consider this feature to install Xubuntu on my Acer 3684, Intel Celeron 1.84 Ghz and 512 MB RAM.ReplyDelete

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I take it you basically just want to remove the front and back vent windows.
The front doors look to be relatively simple. The back might have the problem of the dogleg at the bottom of the door. You might just not have the room to lower a full hight window in the back doors.
As for the front doors. the first place I would start is the scrap yard. You'll need some tracks to replace the ones the vent windows provide. Basically look for another set of tracks similar to your lock side tracks. reverse left and right tracks and they should get close with little modification. Since your not going frame-less you shouldn't need the reinforced tracks from frame-less cars but they would work also if thats all you can find. You'll have to fab up a continuance of the window frame down the front to replace what the vent window filled in. Donor doors might fix you up on both accounts.
As for the back windows I would basically start the same but with the dogleg at the bottom you might not be able roll the new window down all the way. Now this is were I would start thinking of going a little farther than most. I would chop the top so that the new shorter windows didn't have to go down as far. Chop the top just enough to make sure the windows clear the dogleg. Don't know for sure if it would look right chopped but I would think about it myself. Then again I'm American and we're all a little off here. Chop the car first before doing the front windows though
|Dragon J
|Hi murray- I did this on my Henry J- but also went pillarless by welding tops of doors onto body. If you keep the door tops it will be easier- just strip all the stuff in the way of the window travel in the vent window area and install felt channels for the windows (J.C Whitney out of Chicago still has them) or you can get them at swap meets- at least in the states! You will have to make the channel that supports the bottom of the window longer and re-adjust the tracking- or do as me and get an electric window kit. Make a cardboard or masonite template of the new sized window without the vent window- check fit and travel- then have your glass cut. Sounds simple, but you may need to weld in a section of fabbed channel depending on how it looks after all the 'junk' is removed. It is a great look though- take it apart and see if you want to go for it!!!
|Thanks BstMech ,
I know someone on here will be able to help you on this.
I only see one thing wrong though, your steering wheel is on the wrong side!

Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries
Private Lands Program
There are now 13 wildlife biologists throughout the state whose primary responsibility is to help private landowners and land managers with their wildlife management activities. Private Lands Biologists (PLBs) can perform a variety of duties on private properties around the state. One of the most common activities is assisting landowners and hunting clubs with management of their deer herd. This may involve established programs such as the Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) which provides landowners with tags and guidance regarding their deer harvest. Other landowners simply want advice and suggestions to help them manage their harvest. Even though deer get a lot of attention, assistance from PLBs is not limited to deer. Private Lands biologists can also help landowners with dove field establishment, management of waterfowl impoundments, forest management, and general habitat management for a wide variety of wildlife.
One of the most important things these biologists do is to listen. Landowners own and manage land for a variety of reasons. For some it is purely for recreation, for others, income generation is a very important consideration. Some landowners and managers have the desire and resources to engage in very intensive management, while others take a low maintenance approach. Some landowners have very specific interests, bobwhite quail management, for example. Others simply want to see and enjoy a wide array of wildlife on their property. The assistance provided by the Private Lands Program is guided by the objectives, needs and resources of the landowner.
The department's private lands biologists are familiar with a variety of programs and sources of funding that can provide financial assistance for management. Not all landowners need or want financial assistance, but for those who do, funding may be available for practices such as prescribed burning, tree planting, native grassland establishment, field border development, or invasive plant control. Navigating the myriad of funding sources can be daunting for many landowners, but PLBs can be a valuable resource to help landowners find the financial assistance they need.
While landowners will have varying interests and needs, one common thread in all private lands work is the need for the biologist to evaluate the quality and quantity of the habitat. The biologist may conduct a systematic assessment such as a browse survey or may be able to evaluate the habitat simply by an overall inspection of the property. The biologist will be evaluating the amount of food and cover the property provides and noting factors that limit the abundance of wildlife on the property. One thing that will receive consideration is how the property fits into the landscape. In other words, what kind of habitat does the neighboring property provide and how does that impact the subject property? This landscape consideration is most important on smaller tracts. Once the biologist has completed the habitat evaluation, a plan can be developed.
The plan can range from a simple conversation with the landowner to a comprehensive written document. Landowners are encouraged to seek a written plan to help them maintain a long-term and consistent management approach. Even the best plan will have to be modified as experience and conditions dictate, so landowners are encouraged to maintain contact with their PLB. The landowner and PLB should regularly evaluate the habitat, assess the impacts of management and make changes when needed.
Some landowners may already be working with a natural resource professional such as a consultant forester. The PLB will not replace these other professionals, but will work closely with them to integrate the landowner's wildlife objectives with other management objectives and programs. If the landowner is not working with other natural resource professionals, but needs their assistance, the PLP can help find one.
The department's PLBs can be a valuable resource for landowners and managers. Each PLB is responsible for 4-7 parishes and is familiar with local conditions, activity on other properties and programs that can benefit local landowners. PLBs may be able to offer ideas and suggestions that landowners may not have considered. For instance, landowners in some areas may want to consider replanting a harvested loblolly pine stand with longleaf pine, others may benefit from using native vegetation as a food plot to reduce costs, still others may find that creation of small openings in the forest are an effective way to improve habitat.
There is no cost to landowners to utilize the services of the department's PLBs (there is a cost associated with enrollment in the Deer Management Assistance Program). Whether interested in hummingbirds or trophy bucks, looking for a comprehensive management plan or simply have a management question, your local PLP can help. Contact one of these professional biologists to help you improve your wildlife habitats, today. Offices are located in Monroe (318/343-4044), Minden (318/371-3052), Pineville (318/487-5885), Lake Charles (337/491-2575), Hammond (985/543-4777), Opelousas (337/948-0255), and New Iberia (337/373-0032).

yep, its a beauty Graeme. You should be as pleased as Punch.
(Have you ever wondered who Punch was and why the son of a bitch was so smug ?)
google google google
Ah ... it is as might have been guessed a Punch and Judy reference. So I apologise Graeme for saying you were as happy as a self agrandising , wife beating, serial killer.
Yep - that's quite a change!
Not only is it more attractive (hell, it's beautiful), but it also appears to be a thousand times more usable.
Great job, man!
I can't help but look back in the thread and see what it used to look like...
and now:
I've almost forgotten.. What a nice change, and it's about time too.
|Thanks guys, I'm just about done for now but when I do get the cooler top on I'll be sure to post back. I've got a good idea, I just need to find time to implement. Hopefully it'll turn out.. if not, I'll just try another idea! I built it, I can take it apart and rebuild it! Not the whole galley of course, just the lid.
|Beautiful job!
|a most excellent job!
So I think we are just about at the end of the galley updates for Stargazer. It's been a really long haul and I'm almost perfectly happy with what has been done up to this point. This update covers the installation of the fiddle, trim and shelving.
I last left off with all of that wood stained and ready to be varnished. Well, with a few days behind me I managed to get it all done with 3 coats each side that needed it. With that done I was finally able to take it on it's one way trip to the boat and get on with installing.
The first thing to get in place was the trim around the water tank front:
It was a bit of an afterthought but I did mitered edges there and managed to get it all in and looking decent. I can't decide just yet on what to put on the top but I'll think of something in time. For now it just looks better. It was a bit of a hassle creating these pieces because I wanted them to match the trim that was in place already beneath the cabinet in depth. So they shouldn't stick out more than that trim was and unfortunately the water tank stuck out a bit more in one area and less in another.. Combined with that I didn't have the right wood hanging around and ended up doing a bunch of planing (1/16th inch at a time) to get the wood to the right thickness and then some routering to another piece to make up for some missing bits on the aft end of it. Hard to see in the pics though..
Next up was getting the fiddles on. I had to shape the forward one a bit to get the curve right but all in all it was a simple install. I didn't bother countersinking them further in and covering the screws, I instead decided to go with more strength by countersinking less and just screwing the screws in flush. Looks fine I think.
A side story though, I had a surveyor in that day and he was moving all about in the boat and had to get under the sink area there to check it out. When he was supporting himself on the way down he actually used the cupboard door a little to support his weight/balance.. all I could do for that split second was take a quick sharp breath and hope for the very best. All was well, no cracks or anything. I can't believe he just naturally thought that cupboard doors are something to support yourself on. With that he launched himself upwards from the floor by holding on to the galley itself, that held up just fine and it was good to know. He definitely weighed more than I do.
Anyways, side story out of the way.
After getting on with the fiddles I also decided to cover up the rest of the front of the counter top/plywood with some very very thinly planed down mahogany. Almost like a veneer thickness. Looks good too, just need a bit of varnish on those:
So, as you can see in that picture I also got the shelving into place. I still have a bit of screwing to do but it all fits nicely and looks good I think. I may see how it goes but I'm thinking of maybe bringing down the shelf an inch, it might just be a tad high for what I want to use that area for.
So that's about it for this update. I still have the cooler top to do but I'm not in a big rush as I don't have a cruise to go on just yet. The galley has really come a long ways, it's going to be nice to use.

Sorry the pics are so dark, but I left the camera at home and had to use the (no-flash) phone instead. The timber and furnishings are dark anyways, but we haven't seen the sun here for weeks now!..

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|I believe the Studebakers had this arrangement and theres a differential in Europe called a Salisbury which is similar o the D44; this was used in the Jags and Sunbeam Tigers and I think maybe the early AC Cobras
|big gear head
|I rebuilt a '55 T Bird Dana 44 a while ago and it had one piece axles in it. The Dana 44 in Jeeps had the two piece axles. There may have been others with two piece axles.
|Does this version of the D-44 use the tapered/keyed axles (I believe theres a large nut and cotterpin involved but its been forever) ? If someone didnt know any better, they can do a lot of damage trying to remove the drum/hub.
|big gear head
That's great. The Dana 44 is a better rear end and parts are eazy to get and cheap. I didn't know that they used the 44 in those cars. I thought it was a T Bird only rear end in back then.
You don't need a housing spreader. I've built many Danas without using one. I've had a spreader for many years but only used it on aluminum rear ends. If you decide that you want to use one Randy's Ring & Pinion has one that doesn't cost a lot.
|So I'm gathering from looking around and also from finding my shop manual, this is a Dana 44 axle and I'll be needing a housing spreader tool.
|big gear head
I've only had one of those early Ford rear ends apart and I don't remember exactly how it was built. It may have a solid pinion bearing spacer instead of a crush spacer. If it does then you might need some shims for it. If it has a crush spacer be sure that you use a new one. Also use a new pinion nut and put some red Locktite on it when you do the final assembly.
Be sure that you check the backlash BEFORE you disassemble it. Also use some gear marking compound and check the pattern BEFORE you disassemble it. Take pictures of the pattern so you will know what it looks like when you put it back together. You can get the yellow gear marking compound at a GM dealer, or from Randy's Ring & Pinion, Tom's Differentials or DTS. This works better than grease and MUCH better than the blue stuff that some people use.
1) Is there's anything I shouldn't bother with because it's not likely worn out and/or too difficult?
2) Any equipment I should have for the job? I'm assuming I'll need a hydraulic press and plan to get one, but any guidance on what I should get would be appreciated?
You will need an inch lb. torque wrench to properly measure the pinion bearing preload. A long bar for leverage to crush sleeve if using a new one.
You will need a dial indicator setup to measure ring gear backlash. Something to check tooth pattern with. I use white grease.
There are many online sites to help with inspection and gear tooth patterns.
1955 Mercury axle rebuild
Having kids and a wife has taken me mostly out of the hobby over the past 12 years or so, and things are getting to a point that I'm getting back into it. I'm getting a frame sandblasted and powdercoated, so my current project is getting a rolling frame together for my 1955 Mercury Montclair frame-off restoration.
I've never done an axle rebuild. I worked as an engineer at American Axle for a while, so I've got a working familiarity with axle internals. I'm not familiar with the specifics on my axle, so I'm looking for some resources. I have 2 axles to work with, and I only suspect that both need at least some seal replaced, so my assumption is I might as well replace all seals and replace bearings while I'm at it.
My questions:
1) Is there's anything I shouldn't bother with because it's not likely worn out and/or too difficult?
2) Any equipment I should have for the job? I'm assuming I'll need a hydraulic press and plan to get one, but any guidance on what I should get would be appreciated?
3) I looked at C&G Early Ford and this is the shopping list I put together, is there any parts I need that's missing?

To apply for financial aid at Emmanuel College, incoming students must complete the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by the February 15th priority filing date. Additional documents may be requested.
Learn more on our Applying for Financial Aid page.
What is Emmanuel College's Federal School Code?
Emmanuel College's Federal School Code is 002147. This code is required for Emmanuel to receive your Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
What happens if I miss the February 15th priority filing date?
Incoming students whose FAFSAs are received after the priority filing date will be awarded on a funds-available basis. You may find that even if you apply after the priority filing date, there is sufficient funding available for you to be able to afford to enroll at Emmanuel College.
Are there options available to pay the balance after financial aid?
Many families cover the balance due after financial aid utilizing the College's interest-free monthly payment plan or private alternative student loans or parent loans.
Learn more about our payment options.
What are the best ways to further reduce my costs?
- Apply for private scholarships.
- Choose the least expensive housing option available to you.
- Stay on track academically and graduate on time. Emmanuel has an award-winning academic advising program that challenges, supports and guides students as they become active participants in their own learning and explore options and make choices within the liberal arts and sciences curriculum.
What is the average financial aid package?
Emmanuel College awards financial aid to students based on an evaluation of the student's and the student's family's ability to pay for his or her education. For this reason, each student's financial aid award is unique. Emmanuel College understands that paying for college can be challenging.
We are committed to working with students and their families to make an Emmanuel College education a reality.
When is the bill due?
The fall semester bill is available online via EC Online Services in early July and is due by early August. The spring semester bill is available online in mid-November and due by mid-December.
Read more on Important Steps & Dates.
Will my deposit be reflected on my bill?
All accepted full-time undergraduate students who wish to enroll at Emmanuel College pay a $300 tuition deposit ($500 if they are living on campus) to secure their place in the class. This deposit is applied to the first semester bill.
Read more on Depositing to Emmanuel.
Will my financial aid be deducted from my tuition bill?
Yes, financial aid will automatically be deducted from your bill, except for the following situations:
- If additional information is required to complete your financial aid application, you will receive notification regarding this. Estimated aid will not credit your tuition bill.
- If you are borrowing with a Federal Direct Subsidized and Unsubsidized Loan, you must complete 1) a Master Promissory Note and 2) Entrance Counseling. Both of these requirements may be completed online at studentloans.gov. The Direct Loan will not appear as a credit on your bill until both requirements are completed; we encourage you to do this by June 30th. If you wish to decline the loan, please e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
- If you were awarded Federal Work-Study, it is not deducted from the tuition bill. Students will receive a paycheck directly deposited into their bank account every two weeks for hours worked.
- If you received private scholarships, they may be used as a credit toward your bill by submitting the check or scholarship notification letter to our office.
Can my financial aid change?
Estimated Financial Aid Award Letters are based solely on the information provided on the FAFSA and are subject to change upon receipt of actual tax return data and/or other verification documents. Instructions for completing the financial aid application process are included with the Estimated Financial Aid Award Letter.
How do private scholarships or outside awards affect my financial aid?
We encourage students to apply for private scholarships. At Emmanuel, we reduce unmet financial need before reducing previously awarded financial aid.
Please inform us of your eligibility for outside sources of aid, including private scholarships, tuition remission, veteran's benefits, etc., as soon as possible so that any adjustments required to your aid award can be made.
Is my financial aid renewable?
Emmanuel College makes every effort to offer the same aid each year. Emmanuel funding is limited to a maximum of eight semesters and is contingent upon timely application (the FAFSA is due by February 15th each year), same level of demonstrated need, satisfactory academic progress, and the same enrollment and housing status as the prior year. Merit-based scholarships require full-time enrollment and the cumulative GPA as required by your scholarship notification letter.
Can I apply for additional financial aid in future years?
Emmanuel College makes endowed scholarships available to currently enrolled students. The applications are available each January and are due on February 15th. Students should continue to seek out and apply for private scholarships to reduce costs for future years.
The College also offers scholarships to Resident Assistants; this scholarship is available to sophomores, juniors and seniors and is equal to 75% of room and board for the first year of service and 100% thereafter.
Can I view my information online?
Your MySaints account is your one-stop place for all things Emmanuel. Here you can communicate via e-mail, and find important information from the OSFS and other offices including Residence Life and Academic Advising. Through MySaints, you can also access EC Online Services, where you can view requested documents, your financial aid award and tuition bill and make online payments.
Can my parents have access to view my tuition bill online?
You may provide parents, and/or others, access to your tuition bill by clicking on "Manage Account Access" from your tuition bill home screen. They will receive an e-mail notification with instructions on how to create their own log in to view and make payments on your tuition bill.
What if I borrowed additional funds for rent and/or books?
If you have a credit on your account after paying your bill, you may request a refund through EC Online Services via MySaints. Students who request their refund through EC Online Services may request to have the funds directly deposited into their bank account. You may also reduce your loan or have the credit applied toward the next semester's balance.

Is health insurance required?
Yes. The Commonwealth of Massachusetts requires all full-time students to be covered under an acceptable health insurance plan. If you already have qualifying coverage, you must submit a waiver to decline the College health insurance plan.

Coming off Tuesday's 3-2 loss to the Washington Capitals at the Bell Centre, Canadiens coach Michel Therrien shuffled his lines at practice Wednesday morning in Brossard and announced that Peter Budaj will start in goal against the Sabres Thursday night in Buffalo (7:30 p.m., CBC, RDS, TSN Radio 690).
Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin also announced that Budaj has been signed to a two-year contract extension that will take him through the 2014-15 season. Budaj, who is earning a pro-rated $1.2 million during the lockout-shortened season, will get a slight raise to $1.4 million on the two-year, $2.8-million extension.
In eight games this season, the 30-year-old Budaj has a 6-1-1 record with a 2.17 goals-against average and .917 save percentage with one shutout. He joined the Canadiens as a free agent on July 1, 2011.
Rene Bourque, who started Tuesday's game on the fourth line, was bumped up to join Tomas Plekanec and Brian Gionta at practice Wednesday, while Michael Ryder was with Lars Eller and Alex Galchenyuk. The David Desharnais-Max Pacioretty-Brendan Gallagher line was kept intact, while Brandon Prust dropped down to the fourth line with Travis Moen and Jeff Halpern.
The defence pairings were: Josh Gorges-P.K. Subban; Andrei Markov-Francis Bouillon; Nathan Beaulieu-Davis Drewiske; Tomas Kaberle-Yannick Weber.
"We tried something with Bourque yesterday by putting him with Pleky and Gio and we'll continue with the same lines," Therrien told reporters after practice.
Below is the video interview The Gazette's Dave Stubbs did with Therrien before the start of the strike-shortened season:

After last week's column on Warm Blessings, I have another wonderful community outreach done by some of the employees at Fort Knox National Co. Fort Knox National Co. is an electronic bill payment company specializing in payroll deductions for both military and civilians.
Beyond their daily work, employees at Fort Knox National Co. in Elizabethtown have harnessed their culinary skills and found a way to raise money for Hardin County's Angel Tree program.
They started out a couple years ago with an Iron Chef competition. Four employees made different versions of chili and employees voted for their favorites. They crowned Rick Boswell their first Iron Chef. Their chili entries were: Chef Rose "The Mad Hatter" Halberg; Chef Jason "Fire is not Enough" Goodman, who produced an oldie, but goodie batch of chili that caused the fire alarms to go off; Chef Sharon "Wilcat" Johnson, who relied on her Go Big Blue Spirit; and Chef Rick "If It's Not Moving I Put It In There" Boswell relied on traditional Texas chili. His recipe is in today's column.
Just before Christmas of 2012, they tried something new — using food they prepared to raise money for the Angel Tree. Several employees brought in about 10 pies, each cut into bite-size pieces so each employee could sample them. Then, they voted on the best dessert. The winner was a pecan pie, with two chocolate pies tying for second. They raised more than $200 for the Angel Tree. Recipes appear in this column.
After reading my column on soup several weeks back, they had a soup cook-off. For the competition, there was potato soup, vegetable soup, white chili, broccoli soup and chicken tortilla soup. Rita Orr won the votes for her potato soup. Rose Halberg, a former student of mine, made the broccoli soup and her family even enjoyed some the night before and raved how good it was. They had fun with this, and by taking a donation per bowl of soup, they raised more than $60 for the Angel Tree project.
"We have a lot of fun doing our cooking. Here at Fort Knox National Co., we love to cook and we love to eat," employee Sharon Johnson said.
They are eager to have another competition and raise more money for the Angel Tree project.
If you and fellow employees at your work site would be interested, pick a favorite charity and have cook-offs similar to what Fort Knox National is doing for the Angel Tree project. I would love to hear about other projects. It would put your cooking skills to test and make a valuable contribution to our community.

Sabres are Scary Bad
Third period dooms Sabres again
'"We're finding ways to lose instead of finding ways to win right now," Sabres right wing Jason Pominville said.'
Regier willing to tinker with roster at deadline
'Like it or not, toughness is an issue. I'm not talking about fighters. Andrew Peters, Adam Mair and Paul Gaustad can scrap with anyone. The Sabres lack physical forwards who can wear down opposing defensemen, and they lack physical defensemen who can overpower physical forwards. It's usually a factor in the playoffs.'
Briere eclipses NHL's brightest
'"I'm coming from a long way out," Briere said. "Maybe what happened earlier in my career makes me appreciate a lot what's going on right now, because I know I'm very lucky to still be playing hockey in the NHL."'

NY Islanders 5, Buffalo 3
'"It just happened to be (against) Buffalo, but it's special any time you can come back in the third period of a game like that," current Islanders coach and former Buffalo coach Ted Nolan said. "Getting three of four points this weekend against teams like that is a good sign for us."'
NY Islanders 5, Buffalo 3
'New York was trailing 3-2 in the third period when Asham tied the game with his second goal of the contest on a slap shot from the high slot that beat Miller 6:53 into the final frame.'
Sabres Lose Lead Again; Isles Win 5-3
'Aaron Asham notched his second goal of the game seven minutes into the third to even up the score at 3-3. Then with just three minutes left in the third, New York took back the lead on a goal by Randy Robitaille that deflected passed Ryan Miller. The Islanders finished off Buffalo with one minute left on a goal by Andy Hilbert to cap off the 5-3 victory.'
Victory Slipped Away in Third
'Off a Toni-Lydman turnover, the Islanders took the 4-3 lead with just over three minutes remaining in regulation. Randy Robitaille trapped Lydman's clearing attempt along the boards and fired a quick wristshot on net that Miller never saw to register his eighth goal of the season.'
Game # 51: NY Islanders 5, Sabres
'Of greater concern and cause for alarm is how Buffalo (24-1-2 when entering the final stanza with the scoreboard advantage, prior to the All-Star break) squandered leads, entering the third period, and allowed their opponents to outwork, outhustle and, ultimately, outscore them, 5-0, in the past two contests.'
Islanders hand Sabres third-straight defeat
'"Every loss matters," Sabres' coach Lindy Ruff said. "I think we have some players who are a little out of synch now. With the break, and having some guys at the All-Star game, we need to get a few heads back on shoulders."'

Buffalo lets one get away
'"Our game is puck control, complemented by defense. I think we need torealize that that's the way it has to go. When [coach] Lindy [Ruff] talks about a lockdown mode, so to speak, I don't think he's talking about just sit back and play defense. He's talking about just be smart. I think once we learn the difference, we're going to be able to shut teams down. There's a big difference between sitting back and playing defense, and making smart plays and playing defense."'

Daniel Cardinal DiNardo said it best during his opening prayer at the 63rd Annual Mardi Gras Gala when he commented on "hearts rejoicing" at the University of St. Thomas. More than 400 donors, alumni and friends of St. Thomas celebrated Fat Tuesday with "A Mardi Gras Tradition" on Feb. 12 at the Royal Sonesta Hotel Houston.
In a room decorated with purple, green and gold, chairs Gina and Dr. Devinder Bhatia welcomed guests and celebrated the giving spirit of the largest UST scholarship fundraiser of the year. More than $800,000 was raised to support University scholarships. The University awards more than $11.6 million in scholarships and grants annually.
University President Dr. Robert Ivany reflected on his recent pilgrimage to the Holy Land. He disclosed thoughts about his journey and the role UST plays in the world.
"The only way we can address the challenges in our country and in the Holy land is to do what we are doing at St. Thomas: educating leaders of faith and character," he said. "The more scholarship funds we can raise, the more students can enter in and graduate from St. Thomas."
The Gala honored the Franciscan Sisters, and attendees saw a compelling video of the Sisters' impact on the campus community.
Emcee Sonia Azad, an Emmy-award winning field reporter with KTRK ABC13, introduced the live auctioneer who rallied the group to open up their hearts and pocket books. A trip to England with the Ivany's was the most bid on prize garnering $47,500.

We are a full-service advertising agency with a history of creating powerful emotional connections to brands. In creating these connections we do more than make our clients' brands top of mind for their target. We find soul mates for our clients' brands.
We are able to achieve this because we don't use a rational approach to sell a brand, but rather emotion to make people want to share ownership for that brand. Such emotional bonds can rekindle the love customers once had for a brand, attract new enthusiasts, motivate employees and reinforce existing loyalists.
Our enemy is complacency, mediocrity and the conventional. We rally against the ordinary and hold sacred the power of inspiration: to transform, to instigate, to delight, to create devotion.
Unlike most great creative agencies, Carmichael Lynch owns and operates a sister public relations firm, Carmichael Lynch Relate, that has achieved Agency of the Year honors from PRWeek, Holmes Report and PRNews trade magazines. For many of our clients, Carmichael Lynch works hand-in-glove with Carmichael Lynch Relate, which is regarded as the undisputed champion of best practices in public relations with few PR firms winning more awards for their work nationally.
Creative agency Carmichael Lynch named Julie Batliner president of the agency today.
Batliner will continue in her current role as managing partner and president of PR firm, Carmichael Lynch Relate, and will report to recently appointed Carmichael Lynch CEO, Marcus Fischer, who previously held the role of president.
"I'm thrilled to have Julie as president of Carmichael Lynch. Julie's commitment to collaboration and evolving our offerings has been key to our success," said recently appointed Carmichael Lynch CEO Marcus Fischer, who previously held the role of president. "Her ability to orchestrate cross-discipline campaigns is unsurpassed, and she's proven to be a game-changer."
This consolidation of management further demonstrates Carmichael Lynch's commitment to providing clients with a fully integrated offering as Batliner will oversee the direction and leadership for both agencies.
Batliner's promotion comes after four consecutive years of double-digit growth for Carmichael Lynch and a year of unprecedented success for Carmichael Lynch Relate. Under Batliner's leadership in 2016, Carmichael Lynch Relate revenue grew more than 47 percent and head count increased more than 50 percent, all while maintaining a less than 3 percent turnover rate. The success culminated with the prize for Outstanding Midsize Agency of the Year at the 2017 PRWeek Awards.
"It's an exciting time for the agency and I'm thrilled to help continue the momentum," said Batliner. "With the unique relationship between Carmichael Lynch and Carmichael Lynch Relate, we have a world-class advertising agency and an award-winning public relations firm that can integrate seamlessly as needed. We have a powerful set of tools at our fingertips for clients."
Batliner's business intuition and ability to build client relationships has had a significant role in new business during her 11 years at the agency and has driven substantial organic growth. She's furthered the expansion of the agency's rapidly growing content lab and social media department, and helped spearhead an agency rebrand that further integrated the advertising and PR firms.
Batliner has been recognized for her business acumen as a recipient of two Stevie Awards in the categories of Female Executive of the Year and Woman of the Year and as a Champion of PR by PRWeek. Earlier in her career, she was named one of Forty Under 40 by both PRWeek and The Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal. She has also received a Women in Business award from The Minneapolis St. Paul Business Journal.
Batliner prides herself on being a role model for working parents. She is committed to helping parents find success in the workplace, and has helped implement numerous family-friendly benefits and company policies. She was named a 2016 Working Mother of the Year by She Runs It.
Batliner's work has also earned industry-wide recognition, including an Effie Award in the Sustained Success category, multiple PRSA Silver Anvils, SABRE Awards (Superior Achievement in Branding and Reputation Excellence) and PRSA Classics awards for work on behalf of clients such as U.S. Bank, Jack Link's Protein Snacks, Genuine Thermos Brand and Sherwin-Williams.

Blast hole quality and productivity with ROC F9CR
Atlas Copco launches the ROC F9CR, equipped with the 2nd generation of COPROD® high production straight hole drilling system. This surface crawler drill is ideal for quarries and open pit mines requiring adaptability, speed, reliability and productivity – including the ability to tackle difficult geological formations. <BR>
Combination of good characteristics
COPROD® is suited for fast and straight drilling in challenging rock conditions. It combines the benefits of tophammer drilling and the accuracy of down-the-hole drilling. The unique combination of an impact rod and a drill tube in one single section makes up COPROD®. The impact rods are used to transmit feed force and impact energy while the outer tubes transmit rotation and flushing. Rapid bit changes compared to down-the-hole systems ensure that regrinding and frequent bit changing do not cause undue delays.
COPROD® better than ever
The 2nd Generation COPROD® offers reliability and long service life of the drill string components. The flushing is also improved, which reduces risk of bit plugging. The increased stiffness of the sections gives superior hole quality and hole straightness. Says Olivier Vandenabelle, Director of the Belgium drilling contractor DGO M3:
- With COPROD you can drill anywhere with no problem. There is not as much flushing air as with DTH, but it is enough. This is particularly important when drilling the front line holes in bad ground.
Money back on performance
ROC F9CR is capable of drilling to a depth of 30 metres, which accommodates the requirements of most quarries. It is equipped with the new powerful 25 kW COP 2550CR rock drill, featuring Atlas Copco´s unique double-dampening system which ensures long drillstring life and high penetration rates. Says Markku Teräsvasara, Vice President Marketing, Surface Drilling Equipment:
- We have developed the 2nd Generation COPROD® in close relationship with our customers. Although COPROD® is a substantial investment, you get your money back in performance. For example, nearly all users have increased the diameter of drill bits due to increased confidence in maintaining correct hole alignment. This means that they need fewer holes to blast the same amount of rock.
The rig gives more than enough power to drill straight and fast holes by the 224 kW (304 hp) diesel engine. An on-board Atlas Copco screw compressor, 210 l/s (445 cfm) at 12 bar (175 psi) provides excellent air flushing and ensures clean holes that are easy to charge. A double drill tube support with breakout table for improved guidance when collaring the hole, which lowers the drill and blast cost and optimises the drill pattern. ROC F9CR offers a safe and comfortable cabin – a basic requirement from a productive driller.

I'm about to graduate with Bachelors degrees in English and Slavic Languages & Literatures from a large public school in America. I've studied in Russia in the past and spent some time (though not a lot) in Poland and Hungary.
I'm thinking of going to graduate school in either Russian or English, but I'd like to teach abroad for a while in Central or Eastern Europe (including the Southeast, with Bulgaria and former Yugoslavia). I can speak Russian, understand Ukrainian, and generally read the rest of the Slavic languages -- but not produce them. What should I do next in order to teach in one of these East/Central European countries?
I've read a few guidelines and getting some sort of TEFL cert. seems to be mandatory, but I'm not sure about the specific requirements for these places. I know that getting work in places like Prague and Budapest might be hard, but I wouldn't mind living in Bohemia or somewhere in Slovakia. Russia would be great, but I have experienced the troubles of visas there. What chances do I have in getting even a sorta-decent job teaching in these areas with degrees in English and Slavic Languages?
One last question -- I have worked at my university's writing center for two years, where we serve a ton of ESL students (almost half of the students we help). Can this count as teaching experience?
Thanks! Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.

I wish I could say the same for those that think there is no merit. Some seem to like to continually pee on the small cell discussions. BTW, I'm not try to point at you or say your one of the peers NCSteve... just responding to your statement

XD's are great and nice having 13+1 without the fat grip
I love Colt....I had a Commander...and loved it...but I traded for the extra 7 round I get from my new XD45acp....I have to say i love it..and it is as accurate as my Colt...but an extra 7 shots...is a great switch.
XD's are great and nice having 13+1 without the fat grip
I just picked on up and I love it. It doesn't recoil as hard as a friend's Springfield 1911 that I shot.
I have 3 XD's and two of them are the XD-45ACP's. They are the best shooting .45 I've ever shot. I keep one on the nightstand with the light/laser combo, and the other I shoot in IDPA each month. The other XD, the XD-40SC is the most comfortable gun in .40 that I've shot even though it is a sub compact! 8)
I like the new 45s, I have the service and the tac-I think the tac is going to become the night stand piece--still to see. I like the way both shoot and my wife likes shooting them but what surprised me was after she shot the XD 9--she took it in place of her KIMBER for a carry gun. Never did I think I would see that day come.
I hope my friends don't hear me but after having the XD's now for over a month and shooting them along with my glocks which have been my favorite guns for over 15 years. I now like the XD better. I still love my glocks but just found something better in their class. I thought this day would never happen.
It's OK SD. At least you were man enough to stand up and admit it. You're not the first to be converted by the XD! Enjoy! And welcome to the fold. 8)
As soon as they make a 10mm XD, I'll have one. Hope they hurry (but I'm not holding my breath).
Welcome to the polymer gun generation. Soon, that will be all you can buy
I'm holdin' out for the plastic, .50 cal. high-cap, compact model.
That would be the .50 BMG right 8)
50 BMG short :-DOriginally Posted by scooter


text: My "fun" or general-purpose AR. Base gun is a Bushmaster 16" custom Dissipator upper assembly with 4-rail rifle-length free-float tube, on an assembled-by-me lower. Burris E-1 variable power 2-7x scope with multi-distance reticle in a RRA quick-detach mount; back-up iron sights; Magpul stock, pistol grip, and vertical grip; RRA two-stage match trigger; Harris bipod for longer shots off the bench or prone; Lancer L5 transparent magazine so you can see the money/ammo you are about to convert into smoke and noise. Useful for most types of AR shooting or hunting, but specialized for nothing in particular.

Maybe you stopped at one of the mom and pop bait and tackle shops along the way to buy your 'minners' and grab a cold pop to go with your cheese sandwich wrapped in waxed paper. Re-live that time again as you walk through the Bass Pro Shops White River Outpost.
This 40,000 square-foot Ozark Lodge themed store evokes memories of those long-ago golden days and is a tribute to the fishing and boating heritage along the White River,
Just driving up to the Bass Pro Shops White River Outpost you will be flooded with memories of the historic tomato factories, button factories and fishing guide camps that once stood on the banks of the
Massive log and rock work frame the Grand Entrance where inside a fire crackles in the large stone fireplace which flanks the lodge entrance and opens to the 218' long clerestory with log columns and antique heart pine siding and timbers. This construction culminates in a 20,000 gallon aquarium and waterfall complete with an old mill and waterwheel. The aquarium will be stocked with fish native to the area--rainbow and brown trout, large and small mouth bass, blue gill, crappie, catfish and more.
Inside, down the center of the building, a large, gabled clerestory reaches over 45' in height allowing a tremendous amount of natural light to stream through a series of roof dormers. Giant, exquisitely crafted outdoor themed chandeliers, made by Bass Pro Shops own artisans hang throughout the store. The ceiling is comprised of hand painted tin and wildlife tracks are imprinted and etched into the concrete floor.
Tribute is paid to the many diverse historical aspects that comprise this area of the Ozarks through the use of photographic and painted murals throughout the new Bass Pro Shops store. Indeed, the whole store is a memorial to the area and its people and, like other Bass Pro Shops stores, takes on the flavor and atmosphere of the region in which it is located. Using area artifacts, antiques and memorabilia the store becomes a living museum of the hunting, fishing, camping and other outdoor legacies of the Ozarks.
Museum quality wildlife exhibits adorn the entire store including state record fish mounts, turkeys, native waterfowl, quail, and full body whitetail mounts. One large animal diorama featured is that of deer running down the hillside by the aquarium and crossing over to the hunting area.
But the attention to detail doesn't stop with store design and imagery elements. The same consideration is given to merchandise selection. Visitors will have a selection of freshwater rods, reels and fishing accessories, all hand-picked and specially selected for the area, to choose from. The cedar White River Fly Shop, with murals depicting the rich trout fishing history of the area, features antique and collectible fly fishing memorabilia, and has a vast selection of the latest in fly fishing gear. Experts will continue the art of hand-tying flies on site and assist customers in making the perfect selection.
More than a fishing and hunting store though, visitors will also find items perfect for camping, hiking, outdoor cooking, bird watching, men and women's apparel, footwear, water sports and marine. A gift and nature center, reminiscent of a historical variety store, is stacked high with items from a bygone era, but also offers today's customer a selection of items from artwork to lamps, to bird feeders and home decorating accessories and gifts for the holidays.
An incredible historical display of boat and trolling motors from the past adorn the walls of the Tracker boat sales area and would make "Big" Jim Owens of
Another special feature of the Bass Pro Shops White River Outpost will be the unique floating White River Fish Company Restaurant which will offer 6,800 square-feet of interior dining as well as about 4,000 square feet of outside dining. Here you can relax on the banks of the Taneycomo and enjoy the great local taste of the Ozarks. It will also have a small fishing pier for children. The marina and restaurant will open at a later date.
The White River Outpost has hired associates from the Branson area that have a passion for the outdoors so customers will be assured of getting local skilled, knowledgeable assistance with questions and selections. The store will also offer Outdoor Skills Workshops for adults, kids and families that will help maximize outdoor fun by teaching new skills and improving existing ones. The store will also work closely with local conservation organizations to help continue the tradition of maintaining the great outdoors just as our Ozark ancestors did.
For the best in hunting and fishing gear, shop Bass Pro, your Branson sporting goods store. The Bass Pro Shops retail store in Branson is a leader among Branson fishing outfitters, with a great restaurant and amazing waterfall. Whether you need gear for fishing in Branson, or simply want to maximize your outdoor fun, shop Bass Pro.

Fifteen years after a horrific experience in a deceptively inviting ginger bread house, an orphan Hansel (Jeremy Renner) and Gretel (Gemma Arterton) have become famous for ridding the countryside of witches. Despite their stellar success record, the brother and sister face a unique challenge when an extremely powerful witch is identified as the culprit stealing children from a local village with the intent to sacrifice them in an ancient magical ceremony to be held on the night of the Blood Moon. As Hansel and Gretel race against the clock, making several unlikely allies on the way (among them include a troll and a witch hunter fanboy), they unexpectedly come across a link to their own pasts and the secret their parents took with them when they disappeared. The film was directed by Tommy Wirkola. Actresses Famke Janssen and Pihla Vitala co-star. ~ Tracie Cooper, Rovi

Your grandmother enjoyed them as much as anyone today, but hers were probably not as colorful as the great hybrids we enjoy now.

SPC students may apply for this loan if they meet the following requirements:
- They are registered for classes
- They have a complete Financial Aid file
- They are meeting Financial Aid Satisfactory Academic Progress
- They have been awarded a loan
- Loan awarded is:
- A 30-day hold and other aid awarded is less than the total tuition and fees, OR

Eligible students are awarded based on first-come basis and funds availability. The loan amount will pay for tuition and fees only. Students must be enrolled in all classes for the semester before applying for the loan. Additional loan funds will not be awarded for classes added or other additional costs after the original loan.
Students must repay the loan no later than 90 days after the loan credits the student's account. The loan may be paid with other financial aid awards or personal funds.

Undergraduate students usually apply to field in their junior year. Applications are usually requested in February of their spring term. The application may be found on the Social Work Department website under Field Forms. Remember to attach a copy of your resume!
All field application are reviewed and requests are matched. Someone in the field office will contact you and give you the name and phone number of a supervisor in your potential placement agency. You will contact the supervisor to set up an interview. After your interview, you will report back to the field office and the field office will confirm your field placement. If you have an agency in mind where you want to do your field placement, we ask that you talk to the field office FIRST.
Treat this interview as if you were applying for a job in the agency. Dress for success, not a college class. Be prepared for the interview by researching the agency and go with a list of questions to ask, such as "What do student interns do in this agency?" Take your updated resume and remember to be professional.
Before the start of the semester, touch base with your supervisor. Review any correspondence from the Social Work Field Office regarding any mandatory orientation to field and review the field calendars on the Social Work Department website. Confirm your start date and ask if there is anything that you need to do before your first day. Some agencies require a PPD, background check, driving record, etc.
Undergraduate students spend 16 hours per week in field while school is in session, both fall and spring semesters. Most students spend Tuesdays and Thursdays in field, but that may be flexible at times based on the placement and student schedule. At this time, we do not have any evening or weekend field placements available. You will need to make yourself available two days during the normal work week in order to complete your field practicum.
You will receive supervision from an agency-designated supervisor, usually a licensed social worker, and you will have a Salisbury University faculty member serve as your Field Liaison.
Both semesters are spent in the same agency.
The only stipend available for field is through the Title IV-E Program. Stipends range from about $7, 000 to $9,500 per year. Please review the information on the Field Education website link if you are interested in doing your placement in a public child welfare program as it is restrictive and a competitive process. You must do a field placement in a local Department of Social Services in Maryland (Maryland Department of Human Resources); you must seek employment after graduation with DHR; you must be available to attend mandatory trainings on campus throughout your field placement and in the spring in Baltimore; and you must have a valid drivers license. In the event that you are not able to fulfill any of the commitments set forth in your contract, you will be required to repay your stipend to the school within 3 months.
