As Manager
James David Riggleman (born November 9, 1952 in Fort Dix, New Jersey) is the current manager of the Cincinnati Reds Triple-A affiliate Louisville Bats. He is a former Major League Baseball manager and coach. Riggleman was an infielder and outfielder in the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals minor league systems from 1974–1981. After his playing career ended, he managed in the Cardinals and San Diego Padres minor league systems until 1992, when he became the Padres' manager. From 1992–2011 Riggleman managed the Padres, Chicago Cubs, Seattle Mariners, and Washington Nationals, and also served as a major league coach with the Dodgers, Mariners, and Nationals between his managerial stints. His most recent major league coaching job was as manager of the Nationals, a post he resigned from on June 23, 2011. Subsequently, he was employed as a scout with the San Francisco Giants. He is currently employed as the manager of the Louisville Bats, a Class AAA team affiliated with the Cincinnati Reds, after coaching the inaugural Class AA team with the same organization, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos to a 68-70 record.
Playing career[edit]
Riggleman was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers in the 1974 amateur draft out of Frostburg State University.[1] He was assigned to the double-A level Waterbury Dodgers, where he played third base and second base.[2] During the 1976 season, Riggleman transferred to the St. Louis Cardinals, where he was assigned to the double-A Arkansas Travelers and played in both infield and outfield. His career peaked at the triple-A level, which he reached in the Cardinals organization in 1977 and 1979. His career ended after the 1981 season at the age of 28.[2]
Coaching and managing career[edit]
In 1983, Riggleman became manager of the St. Petersburg Cardinals, a class-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals. He managed at the double-A level in the Cardinals organization—including with the Arkansas Travelers, the team which he spent most of his playing career with—and at the triple-A level in the San Diego Padres organization.[2]
Riggleman made his major league managerial debut with the Padres late in the 1992 season—after already managing a full season with the triple-A Las Vegas Stars—due to the late season departure of Greg Riddoch, and was retained through the 1994 season.[3]
In 1995 he became manager of the Chicago Cubs. In 1998, Riggleman's Cubs earned a wild card postseason appearance that ultimately resulted in a loss to the Atlanta Braves in the National League Division Series. Riggleman would manage the Cubs through the 1999 season.[3] He then spent 2001–2004 as bench coach for the Los Angeles Dodgers under manager Jim Tracy.
Riggleman began the 2008 season as the bench coach for the Seattle Mariners under new manager John McLaren. He was promoted to interim manager upon McLaren's dismissal on June 19, 2008,[4] but was not retained by the Mariners after the season ended.
Riggleman was named bench coach for the Washington Nationals for the 2009 season, and was promoted to interim manager on July 12, 2009 following Manny Acta's midseason dismissal.[5] Riggleman picked McLaren as his bench coach. He was retained as manager for the 2010 and 2011 seasons, but on June 23, 2011, he resigned as manager of the Nationals after a win against the Seattle Mariners and after the team won 11 of its previous 12 games. Riggleman was unhappy that the team had yet to pick up his contract option for the 2012 season. He said he told team management before the game that he "wanted to have a conversation" about his contract before the team left for a series against the Chicago White Sox, but "they didn't want to do that," so he offered his resignation. "I'm 58, I'm too old to be disrespected," he said.[6][7]
Later career[edit]
Riggleman was employed as a "special assignment scout" for the San Francisco Giants.[8]
For the 2012 season, he managed the Cincinnati Reds AA minor league affiliate Pensacola Blue Wahoos, ending the season with a 68-70 record.[9]
On December 12, 2012, Riggleman was promoted to manage the Reds' Class AAA team, the Louisville Bats, in 2013.[10] On January 6, 2014, the Reds announced that Riggleman will return as manager of the Bats in 2014.[11]

Ditto. The fewer screenshots of Northrend I see, the better. Just talents and class changes for me.
I'm also avoiding Death Knight information. I already know the basics, but I want to avoid inundating myself with all the fine details until I actually get to spin one come release.
I've actually stopped going to the leak wiki because of their SS of the day feature.

Lefty pitchers facing the Rangers this year just lost three Ks a game as righty, Ryan Garko, was added to the roster to spell Chris Davis. Then again, maybe not. If Seattle passed on him for a Kotchman/Sweeney blahtoon, what makes you think he's going to light it up in Texas?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ryan Garko
Matt Lindstrom was named the Astros closer. Over/under on game-winning HRs given up to Pujols: 3. Lindstrom had a 1.65 WHIP and a 5.89 ERA last year. So, no, I don't think he's safe. Would I own him? Sure. I also don't think the Astros will have that many saves so it's not worth holding onto Brandon Lyon, unless your league's very deep or you don't trust yourself to be the first one to the waiver wire to grab Lyon if/or when Lindstrom's removed from the closer role. Just think, better you wasted a low draft pick on Lyon than $5 million per year over three years. Somewhere, Ed Wade's toupee shrugs. Anyway, here's what else is going on in fantasy baseball:
Ian Kinsler – May start the year on the DL. More like a month of May start. Okay, if you're not paying attention to my hints over the last two days of posts, I'm officially worried about Kinsler. If he's not good in April and not good in the 2nd half, when's he going to be good? May through June? I'd pull up on the Kinsler throttle if I were drafting this weekend. If you're already pot-committed, I would just hold tight and hope for the best. You don't short sell your 2nd round pick, unless of course you're getting a 2nd rounder back. Why am I so worried about Kinsler and not, say, Reyes? Reyes is coming two to three rounds later. Reyes can run at full speed; Kinsler can't run. He hasn't been able to run since March 12th. Earth to Kinsler owners, that ain't good.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Orlando Hudson to the Twins. Anyone ever wonder about how Disneyland and Disney World are both in an Orange County in two different states? Weird, right? Yeah, deep thoughts with Grey Albright. So Orlando Hudson goes to the Twins and retains the same value he's had with every other team. You can set your watch to "Blah" and Hudson will get there every time. He's around the same value as Crapolanco. He'll slide into the two hole in the lineup and slash around 85/10/65/.290/10. As they say, a better real baseball move. And by "they," I mean whoever says that. The best part of signing Hudson is that Twins fans can say see-ya to Casilla as a starter at 2B and punt Punto to under 200 plate appearances. Anyway, here's some more signings and goings-on for 2010 fantasy baseball:
Orlando Cabrera — To the Reds. Orlando Cabrera is slightly more exciting than Hudson, but really it couldn't have been more yawnstipating. O-Cab brings a bit more speed potential with a slightly lower average. Think 80/10/75/.275/15. Not a bad name to look at late at MI, but you'll definitely grow bored of him sometime in April.
Please, blog, may I have some more?The comments were shut off on the Position Eligibility for 2010 Fantasy Baseball post because that post was just listing players and their eligibility for 2010 fantasy baseball. Now, in this here post, we get down to business. Or bidness, if you mispronounce business. That business is pointing out players that gain some advantage by having more eligibility than they know what to do with. Are you going to finish the rest of that 3rd base eligibility?
Please, blog, may I have some more?Ryan Garko was traded to the Aints for Scott Barnes, no relation to Priscilla. Not sure why the Indians traded a cheap guy with 11 homers and a .285/.362/.464 line. Maybe the Giants offered some trinkets to the Indians. Besides his season line, Garko has been hot recently (.429 in his last seven games with two homers). Pac Bell/AT&T/The Fridge That Sandoval Raids is not a hitter's haven, but Garko should hit in the heart of the order and see every day playing time. Definitely worth pursuing in NL-Only leagues and 12 team leagues, if you're hurting at corner.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Yesterday, we went over the top twenty catchers for '08 to draft here to add to our top ten overall and our 11 thru 20 draft list. Thankfully, we're moving onto a meatier position as we go around the horn to our 1st basemen draft list for 2008.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

SQL Server DATEDIFF() Function
SQL Server Date Functions
Definition and Usage
The DATEDIFF() function returns the time between two dates.
Where startdate and enddate are valid date expressions and datepart can be one of the following:
datepart | Abbreviation |
year | yy, yyyy |
quarter | qq, q |
month | mm, m |
dayofyear | dy, y |
day | dd, d |
week | wk, ww |
weekday | dw, w |
hour | hh |
minute | mi, n |
second | ss, s |
millisecond | ms |
microsecond | mcs |
nanosecond | ns |
Now we want to get the number of days between two dates.
We use the following SELECT statement:
SELECT DATEDIFF(day,'2008-06-05','2008-08-05') AS DiffDate
DiffDate |
61 |
Now we want to get the number of days between two dates (notice that the second date is "earlier" than the first date, and will result in a negative number).
We use the following SELECT statement:
SELECT DATEDIFF(day,'2008-08-05','2008-06-05') AS DiffDate
DiffDate |
-61 |

What is the role of the family and caregiver in Alzheimer's treatment?
Perhaps one of the greatest costs of Alzheimer's disease is the physical and emotional toll on family, caregivers and friends. As it makes inroads into a person's memory and mental skills, Alzheimer's also alters his or her emotions and behaviors. Patients can experience extreme agitation and feelings of anger, frustration and depression. They can begin to exhibit bizarre behaviors such as pacing, wandering, screaming and physical or verbal aggression. These changes in a loved one's personality, the need to provide constant, loving attention for years on end and the physical demands of bathing, dressing and other caregiving duties are major reasons for caregiver exhaustion and depression and for placing persons with Alzheimer's in nursing homes.
The caregiver or family member of a person who has Alzheimer's faces many challenges, both in adjusting to new roles and coping with the profound changes in a loved one. If you're facing this role, knowing what to expect can help you cope better. In turn, you'll be able to do the most good for your loved one. In fact, caregivers' participation in education programs and support groups – sometimes called "caregiver interventions"- is now viewed as a critical facet of care for people with Alzheimer's, one as essential as pharmacological therapy.
Research shows that when family members and caregivers are educated about the disease and involved in the person's care, the person who has Alzheimer's benefits. When the family and caregiver of a person with Alzheimer's understand the disease and learn how to communicate and interact with the person in ways appropriate to the disease stage, they are better able to reduce behavioral problems and improve the quality of life for all involved.
What can I do to be better prepared to help my loved one with Alzheimer's disease?
As the family member or caregiver of a person with Alzheimer's, one of the most important things you can do is increase your knowledge of the disease and its management. Here are some of the ways you can do this:
- Visit a local library or book store to find books about Alzheimer's disease and about coping as a caregiver.
- Join a support group for caregivers, or participate in Internet support networks
- Get involved with local organizations that serve the Alzheimer's community in your area, such as your local Office for the Aging, or regional Alzheimer's Association chapter. Through these organizations, you can learn about programs and services available in your community, and take advantage of them!
- Ask your doctor to help you locate services appropriate to your loved one's needs, and ask if he or she can recommend quality programs.
What types of caregiver education programs are beneficial?
Caregiver interventions come in many different forms, and ongoing research funded by the National Institute on Aging is investigating which programs and program components are most beneficial. Strong evidence backs the use of interventions that go beyond education to include various forms of psychosocial support (psychological counseling within the context of one's social role) and/or training about techniques in behavioral management.
Examples include:
- programs that educate families as a group about psychological issues faced when a loved one has Alzheimer's;
- programs that combine extensive individual and group counseling with participation in support groups;
- home-based training programs that teach caregivers how to manage behavioral problems in people with Alzheimer's.
Studies show that such programs can significantly delay the time to placement in a nursing home, which is often precipitated by unmanageable behavioral problems. In addition, participating in these types of interventions can reduce depression, anger, tension, fatigue and confusion in caregivers.
Should caregivers be concerned about their personal health?
At the same that you are managing the health and day-to-day needs of your loved one, you must not overlook your own health and well-being. Your health can suffer from the stress of round-the-clock responsibilities and the emotional toll of witnessing the disease's devastating progression in a loved one. Be mindful of your physical, psychological and spiritual needs. By taking care of yourself, you'll be able to better care for your loved one.
Studies have shown that caregivers who are under chronic (prolonged) stress may have a diminished immune response, which can potentially make them more slow to heal after injury and more susceptible to common infections such as the flu or common cold. To combat this, caregivers need to learn how to manage stress and find ways to relieve the tremendous burden of constant care for a loved one. Don't become isolated; enlist support from other caregivers, a caregiver support group, family and/or friends so you can carve out time to pursue activities that you enjoy and maintain social connections.
Many communities or long-term-care facilities offer respite programs that enable caregivers to take needed breaks from caregiving while knowing their loved one is well taken care of. Such services may be available from home healthcare agencies, assisted-living facilities or nursing homes. Enrolling the person with Alzheimer's in an appropriate adult day care program can also provide a necessary period of respite for the caregiver. In later stages of Alzheimer's, it may be necessary to investigate hospice care for your loved one.

Speaking of which, I saw a bald eagle the other day.
With the light winter we had last year, there seemed to have been an overpopulation of squirrels over the summer. Which led to much more roadkill. Plenty of food for the crows. I'm sure the crows thrived, and maybe became a little overpopulated themselves.

Research in Lowndes Co., GA can be challenging because the courthouse burned in 1858 and 1869. Many records that we would ordinarily look at, are missing.
The population in Lowndes Co., GA more than doubled between 1830 and 1840. Some of this population growth is reflected in the 1835 tax list, with a number of "new surnames" in the county, compared with the 1830 tax list.
The 1835 tax record includes people who owned property, (sometimes their agents, trustees, administrators of their estate, or their guardians. Occasionally it mentions that an individual is a widow, or a minor or the "parent of __".
The tax list also includes men who did not own property, and only paid the Poll tax.
One benefit of the tax list compared to the 1830 and 1840 Federal Census records, is that all adult men are listed.
The list was completed by November 1, 1835.
Column headings on the record include: Name and Militia district name; Poll; Slaves; Pine Land; Oak to Hickory; Quality; [(sometimes) Inland Swamp, Qlty, Within 3 Miles W. C..]., Counties; Section; District; Number; Grants; Waters, Dollars; Cents; Mills; Totals; [(sometimes) Stock & Trade, Bank Stock, Stalions, (?) Seasan in $, (?)Ceason, (possibly Chasons), 2 wheel P. C., Town Lots (value)],
The 1835 tax list is not indexed. I will look for your person's name.
"Document Found" – Means I found the name and I will provide a scan of the record.
"Document not Found" – Means I did not find the name on the record.

What is Biga?
Our Biga – our yeast – is what makes our Napoletana-style pizza different. Making the crust chewy, light and flavorful, Biga is a simple starter ingredient that creates a remarkable final product. Baked in a 900-degree wood-burning oven, our pizza crust ends-up slightly charred, as all real Napoletana pizzas should. You will notice that our menu is simple. It is not meant to replicate the typical Italian-American restaurant. In addition to creating the traditional pizza of Naples (that just? cannot be found in Michigan), we also offer wonderful rustic small plates featuring items like Risotto Balls, Meatballs and Potato Croquettes.

According to Wikipedia, Autism is defined as ' a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and verbal and non-verbal communication and by restricted, repetitive or stereotypical behavior.'

There has been plenty of rubbish talked about the use of marijuana over the years.

- How to Read a Study Record
To evaluate a new vascular sealant compared to control for the control of suture line bleeding after vascular reconstructive surgery.
Condition | Intervention | Phase |
Peripheral Vascular Disease |
Device: Gelfoam/Thrombin Device: VascuSeal |
Phase 3 |
Study Type: | Interventional |
Study Design: | Allocation: Randomized Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment Masking: Single Blind (Subject) Primary Purpose: Treatment |
Official Title: | Randomized Study to Evaluate Safety & Effectiveness of Vascular Sealant to Control Suture Line Bleeding |
- The primary effectiveness endpoint is sealing success defined as complete anastomotic suture line sealing within 10 minutes following restoration of blood flow without use of an adjunctive hemostatic technique different from the assigned treatment. [ Time Frame: intra-operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- The proportion of immediate sealing successes at treated anastomoses by treatment group, with immediate sealing success defined as a site with no suture line bleeding after blood flow is restored [ Time Frame: intra-operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- The proportion of overall sealing successes (within 10 minutes) at treated anastomoses in each treatment group. [ Time Frame: intra-operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- At each site, time to hemostasis was determined from the time circulation was restored after treatment application until bleeding had stopped (assessed at intervals of 1, 3, 5, 7.5 and 10 minutes). [ Time Frame: intra-operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Time to wound closure was determined, with wound closure defined as the elapsed time between initial clamp removal at the last anastomotic site until skin closure. [ Time Frame: intra-operative ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Enrollment: | 69 |
Study Start Date: | April 2007 |
Study Completion Date: | May 2008 |
Arms | Assigned Interventions |
Experimental: VascuSeal
Consists of two liquids that when mixed together in situ rapidly cross-link to form a biocompatible absorbable sealant that is tissue adherent. These liquids are sprayed onto tissues using the Dual Liquid Applicator. The formed Sealant remains intact for approximately 2 to 7 days. During this period the Sealant undergoes hydrolysis where it is absorbed into the circulatory system and is excreted through the kidneys.
Device: VascuSeal
Active Comparator: GELFOAM/THROMBIN
Device: Gelfoam/Thrombin
Detailed Description:
Vascular surgery encompasses a wide range of surgical procedures. In these procedures reduction of blood loss and creation of suture line is of utmost importance to the surgeon. Bleeding at the suture line may require transfusion, as well as prolonged operative and anesthesia time. Suture hole bleeding is common following using synthetic and biological grafts for vascular repair. Several topical hemostatic ans sealing agents have been developed to control suture line bleeding. This new vascular sealant possess high bonding properties, minimal tissue reaction, is biodegradable and absorbed by the body quickly. The primary focus of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the vascular sealant with standard of care methods used today, specifically gelfoam/thrombin and sponge like material.

xfm 1.3
Using a file manager is a matter of personal taste. Some of the hard core Unix users prefer to type their Unix commands (probably not even using a GUI), while others click away at a file manager, which takes over some of the mundane file operations. As one of those people in the first category, I had avoided the use of a file manager until I saw the utility and the flexibility of xfm, which is one of the file managers supplied with the Slackware distribution of Linux (but you probably haven't configured it yet).
Not only does xfm provide the usual services of a file manager—allowing the insertion, deletion, copying and movement of files and directories, but, in addition, its Applications window allows you to start programs by clicking their icons à la Windows.
Figure 1 shows a sample File Manager window, with some of its many pixmap icons (that make it look a lot better than Xfilemanager, the other manager that comes with Slackware). The two yellow folder icons denote directories. The directory folder on the upper left with the arrow heads can be double clicked to go up a directory. The other directory folder (nextdir) shows there is one directory below the present one. Double clicking on it opens that directory. The other icons are for different types of files (there are about 35 different file icons to distinguish between files ending in such things as ps, gz, tar, gif, etc). Double clicking a regular file—the one in white—brings it up in your editor, while other actions are associated with the other file types: double-clicking a PostScript (PS) file brings it up in ghostview, and clicking a gif file displays it. Pushing the right mouse button on an file icon brings up a menu of edit, move, delete, information, and permissions, each or which then causes a dialog box to open for (or with) more information. These menu options are all self-explanatory.
The three the buttons, File, Folder, and View, at the top of the File Manager window have drag down menus. For the File button there are numerous options, including select all and delete, a combination that would empty a directory. Under Folder are the options make a new directory or go directly to a new directory, so that you don't have to click through the entire directory tree to go from top to bottom, chasing folder icons. Home is a convenient option as well. View changes the file display in the File Manager—files can be listed by name (much like an ls -l listing) rather than with icons. A portion of the directory tree can be shown instead or you may elect to show the hidden files.
To move files between directories, it is convenient to open several File Manager windows—one for each directory you are using—by clicking the right button on a folder—this time we get a new menu allowing open, move, delete, information, and permissions, so we chose open. Or we can drag a directory folder out of the File Manager onto the root window and release. The moving process is simply done by selecting a file with the left mouse button and then dragging the file from one directory window to the other. To copy files, you do the same using the middle mouse button. (Note: files must be copied, not moved, between different file systems, otherwise you get a cross-device error.)
The Applications Manager that comes along with the File Manager window can be configured with the applications that you use frequently—and it's not just one windowfull, you change to different configurations by using the toolkit approach. More about this later.
Some of the icons in my Applications window (see Figure 2) do the following: Double clicking the Xterm icon brings up a color_xterm with a scroll bar and tcsh, while dragging an executable program from the File Manager window and dropping it on the Xterm icon executes that program. Every icon can have two actions—one for double clicking, one for drag and drop. Dropping files onto the trash can moves them to a directory called .trash for later disposal. Dropping PostScript files on the PSPrinter icon prints them out.
Type xfm.install (a program included with xfm) will add the directories .xfm and .trash in your root directory and place several configuration files in .xfm. You may then modify these files to optimize the program for yourself. These configuration files include xfmrc, a file that associates file types to icons and actions, and xfm-apps that lists the applications and icons that appear in the Application Manager and the associated double click and drag and drop actions. xfmdev is a listing of devices (disk drives/CD) and the mount and umount commands (see "Linux Tips", Linux Journal, April 1995 page 41). Finally there is a file for each of the additional "tool boxes" that you wish to add.
The man page that comes with xfm is very well written and explicit on its use. Be sure to read it before doing any changes.
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Nov. 2005 -- Broad diversity among breeds of sheep is a precious industry resource. This breed diversity can be managed to increase performance and profit through use of crossbred ewes mated to rams of a terminal sire breed. Differences among breeds in performance for survival, growth, carcass, wool, and reproductive traits are due to the unique genetic history associated with each breed. Beneficial genetic effects of each breed can best be realized in terminal crossbreeding systems that use sire breeds to complement characteristics of maternal line crossbred ewes, thus greatly improving efficiency of commercial lamb production. Evaluation of breeds for important traits is necessary to determine their appropriate use in terminal crossbreeding systems designed for specific production and marketing situations. The relative performance of breeds can best be determined from large-scale experiments that are designed to give unbiased results.
The above fundamental genetic concepts provided justification for an experiment to comprehensively evaluate five breeds of sheep. The experimental objective was to determine differences among Romanov, Finnsheep, Dorset, Texel, and Montadale for survival, growth and carcass traits of crossbred lambs and for reproductive traits of crossbred ewes in both fall and spring breeding seasons. The practical goal was to provide unbiased information so that producers can select and use breeds that maximize profits in terminal crossbreeding systems.
Experimental Procedures
Romanov, Finnsheep, Dorset, Texel, and Montadale rams were mated to western whiteface and Composite ewes. The MARC Composite flock, created in 1980, has a breed composition of half Columbia, quarter Hampshire and quarter Suffolk. The crossbred offspring of these five breeds were compared in three distinct phases of the experiment. In the first phase, differences among crossbred lambs for survival, growth and carcass traits were evaluated in 1991 through 1993. In the second phase, crossbred ewes were appraised for reproductive traits after mating in August, October and December of 1991 through 1995 to lamb at one, two, and three years- of-age. In the third phase, 4-, 5- and 6-year-old crossbred ewes were mated during March and May of 1995 through 1999 to investigate differences for percentage of ewes lambing after mating in the spring.
Lambs were born in an enclosed building. Ewes giving birth to triplets or quadruplets were generally limited to rearing only two lambs, with excess lambs artificially reared in a nursery. Male lambs were castrated at about 14 days-of-age, at which time all lambs were offered a total-mixed creep diet. Dam-reared lambs were weaned at about 56 days-of-age and nursery-reared lambs at about 32 days-of-age. All lambs were switched to a total-mixed growing diet at about 10 weeks-of-age. Lambs were reared in a drylot facility with access to an open-front building. Lambs were weighed at birth, weaning, 10 and 20 weeks-of-age. Productivity of ewes (litter weight) is often measured to weaning, but dam- and nursery-reared lambs were weaned at different ages in this experiment. Therefore, it was not reasonable to summarize weights of dam- and nursery-reared lambs at weaning. We chose to measure ewe productivity at 20 weeks-of-age, when lambs of both rearing types were weighed. Also, litter weight at 20 weeks of age is a better indicator of income per ewe rather than litter weight at weaning.
Crossbred Lambs. Romanov and Finnsheep crossbred lambs had higher survival to weaning than crossbred lambs by Dorset, Texel and Montadale, whereas differences among all crossbred types in weight at 20 weeks-of-age were slight. When compared at a common carcass weight of 63 pounds, Romanov and Finnsheep crossbred lambs had lower dressing percentages than other crossbreds. Crossbred lambs by Dorset and Montadale had the least fat depth at the 12th rib and the longest carcasses. Carcasses of Texel crossbred lambs were most compact, being shortest in length and having the largest rib-eye area. Finnsheep crossbred lambs had the smallest rib-eye area, followed by Romanov crossbred lambs.
Crossbred Ewes in Fall Breeding. Crossbred ewes by Dorset and Montadale were the heaviest at three years-of-age and ewes of the other crossbred types were similar in weight. The percentage of ewes lambing fell into four groups: Romanov crossbred ewes had the highest percentage lambing, followed by Finnsheep, then Texel and Dorset, and crossbred ewes by Montadale were lowest. As expected, crossbred ewes by Romanov and Finnsheep produced the greatest number born per ewe lambing. Romanov crossbred ewes had the heaviest litters at 20 weeks-of-age per ewe lambing for both dam- and nursery-reared lambs, followed by Finnsheep, then Dorset and Montadale, and finally Texel. Fleeces of crossbred ewes by Montadale and Texel were heaviest. Stayability was measured as the percentage of sound ewes remaining in the breeding flock at three-and-a-half years-of-age. Romanov and Montadale crossbred ewes stayed in the flock at a higher rate than crossbred ewes by Finnsheep, Dorset and Texel.
Crossbred Ewes in Spring Breeding. Differences among crossbred types in percentage of ewes lambing depended on breeding season. In March breeding, percentage lambing was 92 percent for crossbred ewes by Romanov, 91 percent for Finnsheep, 90 percent for Texel, 88 percent for Montadale and 83 percent for Dorset. In May breeding, a more challenging month, percentage lambing was 89 percent for Romanov, 72 percent for Finnsheep, 62 percent for Dorset and 52 percent for both Texel and Montadale.
Results averaged over both March and May breeding seasons were calculated. Percentage lambing was highest for crossbred ewes by Romanov, intermediate for Finnsheep, and lowest for Dorset, Texel and Montadale. The same ranking of breeds was detected for number born. The 20-week litter weight of dam-reared lambs per ewe lambing was heaviest for crossbred ewes by Romanov, intermediate for Finnsheep, Dorset, and Montadale and lowest for Texel. Romanov and Finnsheep crossbred ewes produced the heaviest litters of nursery-reared lambs.
To focus on traits that most affect production efficiency and to summarize results in a simple manner, crossbred types are classified for four key traits in Table 1. This approach clearly separates Romanov and Finnsheep from Dorset, Texel and Montadale. Furthermore, based on actual performance, Dorset, Texel and Montadale are fairly similar to one another. In contrast, Romanov and Finnsheep plainly differ from each other, with Romanov crossbred ewes outperforming crossbred ewes by Finnsheep for percentage lambing, number born and length of seasonal fertility, as well as stayability.
Small advantages of breeds for individual traits can accumulate to create a large effect on overall product value, much as money compounded over time can increase several fold. To account for differences among crossbred types in percentage of ewes lambing, number born, lamb survival, lamb growth and ewe stayability, a comprehensive trait was calculated. Total weight of lambs produced from one to three years-of-age by each ewe entering a fall-breeding flock was calculated as the sum of 20-week weights for dam- and nursery-reared lambs. At one extreme, a ewe that died before lambing at one year-of-age would have a total weight value of zero pounds. A ewe that produced one lamb (88 pounds at 20 weeks-of-age) at one year-of-age, two lambs (75 and 82 pounds) at two years-of-age, and two lambs (80 and 85 pounds) at three years-of-age would have a value of 410 pounds for total weight. To account for length of seasonal fertility, total weight was also calculated in a similar manner for each mature ewe in the spring-breeding flocks (total weight of lambs produced from four to six years-of-age by each ewe entering a spring-breeding flock). Values of crossbred types for total weight in fall- and spring-breeding seasons are illustrated in Figure 1.
Total weight of lambs produced by Romanov crossbred ewes in fall breeding (394 pounds) was 24-percent greater than Finnsheep crossbred ewes (318) and 63-percent greater than the average of crossbred ewes by Dorset (242), Texel (228), and Montadale (252). Crossbred ewes by Finnsheep were 32-percent more productive, on average, than crossbred ewes by Dorset, Texel and Montadale.
In the spring breeding flocks, mature Romanov crossbred ewes (312 pounds) produced 55-percent more lamb weight than crossbred ewes by Finnsheep (201) and 110-percent more weight than the average of crossbred ewes by Dorset (171), Texel (117), and Montadale (157). The advantage of Finnsheep crossbred ewes relative to Dorset, Texel and Montadale crossbred ewes averaged about 36 percent.
Whereas differences among young Dorset, Texel and Montadale crossbred ewes in total lamb weight in fall breeding were minor, mature Texel crossbred ewes were considerably less productive in spring breeding. Considering these and other research results, Texel rams should be used as terminal sires to complement characteristics of crossbred ewes in terminal crossbreeding systems. The appropriate use of Dorset and Montadale sheep is likely for crossing with prolific breeds to make crossbred ewes. Recognizing this crossbreeding role, the development and application of appropriate selection procedures by producers of purebred Dorset and Montadale sheep would improve the usefulness of the Dorset and Montadale breeds for commercial producers.
Romanov and Finnsheep should provide the reproductive foundation for maternal lines used in terminal crossbreeding systems. As the number born to purebred Romanov and Finnsheep ewes is often too high for practical use by commercial producers, these breeds are typically used to produce crossbred ewes. The crossbred ewes can be produced by first cross (F1), rotation, or composite mating systems so that breed composition is optimized to match production resources such as labor, facilities, land, feedstuffs, managerial skill, etc. The Polypay breed is an example of a maternal composite based on one-quarter Finnsheep genetics.
Romanov crossbred sheep had superior performance for lamb survival, percentage of ewes lambing, number born, and length of seasonal breeding. In addition, stayability of crossbred ewes by Romanov was greater than Finnsheep crossbred ewes. Two issues with Romanov bear attention. First, the behavior of purebred Romanov ewes in intensive production situations is often described as ?flighty.? Second, decreased wool and pelt values are associated with this breed. Nonetheless, we strongly recommend greater industry use of Romanov crossbred ewes as maternal lines in terminal crossbreeding systems, especially for annual or accelerated production systems that breed in the spring. Research is underway at MARC to evaluate the Dorset, Rambouillet, Dorper, and Katahdin breeds for their ability to complement Romanov genetics as crossbred ewes in fall- and spring-breeding production systems.

Local Woman Arrested for Stealing from Boss
Posted: 3:06 PM Jun 8, 2012
Reporter: Daniel Armbruster
Local Woman Arrested for Stealing from Boss
21 checks and $78,202.64 later, James Lock, owner of Collision Research Associates, is trying to find his retirement.
"I put as much money as could into my retirement account but it wasn't going in there," said Lock.
Police say 47-year old Deborah Yates, of Caldwell, took blank checks, signed by Lock, and filled them out to herself. The scheme allegedly began in August and ended June 1, 2012 when she was arrested at Lock's office where she worked.
"It's kind of like a woman being raped by a friend," said Lock.
Lock says Yates was making $24 an hour as an office manager at his business, but living the life of the CEO.
"Carnival Cruise reservations for her and her family," said Lock.
Lock became suspicious when Yates began making big purchases he says included big screen TVs for her children and a new car that can all be found at her home. While Yates wouldn't come outside to talk to NEWS 3, police tell us she is cooperating with them.
"She did visit with detectives that day. She did turn herself in when she promised to turn herself in," said Officer Rhonda Seaton, College Station Police Department.
Lock is cooperating with police as well and says his business will survive.
"I've got full confidence that we'll bounce back."
If convicted, she could face between 2 to 10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. James Lock says he plans to sue her in civil court to try and recover his losses.
