Uncovering the Hesston Story: Lyle Yost
For 65 years, this rural burg on the eastern edge of the Great Prairie has been home to a brand that shares its name and is fertile ground for the development of game-changing agricultural machines.
During the Dust Bowl years, a "hill" on an otherwise flat stretch of the Great Prairie was often a piece of farm machinery buried by the era's black blizzards of blowing topsoil, then deserted due to a hole in the social fabric called the Great Depression. Folks did what they could to survive, and a young Kansan named Lyle Yost helped make ends meet by scouring the countryside around his family's farm for these mounds of dirt and steel.
"He was as young as 14," says his daughter Susan, "and as soon as Dad learned how to drive, he would take the truck out into the countryside and look for [abandoned] farm equipment." Yost, who passed away last year, would excavate what he found and bring it home, where he and his father would use it for spare parts or repair it for sale. "Not only did Dad learn how to build and rebuild [farm equipment], but he got acquainted with farmers," Susan says. "He learned from them and found out what they needed. The idea of Hesston Corp. was planted when he was a teenager. I don't think he knew the direction, but he knew that he had a calling, which was to help farmers."
That direction became clear years later when he took on a problem that afflicted practically every farmer and harvester who owned a combine back in the day. Unloading just took too much time. Yost's contemporaries used shovels and gravity to get the grain out of the bin, losing valuable time to get the grain up and out of harm's way.
Yost, however, had an idea for a better way to move that grain, and after a particularly difficult harvest in 1947 and with memories of Dust Bowl storms still fresh, he and blacksmith Adin Holdeman went to work developing his unloading auger design. They made five of them in about a month, Susan recalls, and sent Yost's cousin Earl Burner out to sell them. "He got back in 3 hours and said he needed 10 more."
When they returned to the harvest the next summer using their new machine, others witnessed the speed at which the augers unloaded grain, and orders began arriving from as far as Texas and North Dakota. Buoyed by that success, the three men set up an assembly line near their homes in Hesston, and Hesston Manufacturing was born.
More than a half-century later, Yost's focus on farmer-oriented solutions lives on today. Still located in the small, rural town where it all started, the Hesston facility has gone on to develop some of the most productive machines in agriculture, with the harvesting equipment made there now being sold worldwide.

New MF Precision Planter Hits the Field in Australia
New to the Australian Market, the MF Precision Planter is generating interest amongst farmers and agronomists in Australia's row cropping regions.
The Planter's Positive Air Metering system (PAM™) handles seed gently and accurately with low, positive air pressure, resulting in controlled populations and higher yields for farmers.
Unlike vacuum seeding systems, which typically draw air from around metering units, The PAM™ system draws air from above of the planter's row units. This reduces the amount of dust drawn into the metering system and the amount of wear and tear on parts – making the MF Precision Planter virtually maintenance free.
Demonstrations of the MF Precision Planter have been taking place at Griffith, a productive row cropping region in southern NSW and are set to move to northern NSW and southern QLD in the coming weeks.
Local farmers and agronomists are able to see first hand the exceptional performance of the planter in a variety of crops including cotton and corn and hear from the MF Seeding and Tillage Product Manager about the machine's application in sorghum, sunflower, soybean and canola planting.
Australian MF Dealers in row cropping regions will also be undertaking comprehensive planter training, equipping them with the information and skills to support customers with knowledge that will improve the productivity of their farms.
The MF Precision Planter demos have also featured the MF7600 Row Crop Series tractor – impressing farmers with low fuel use and flexibility in various applications, it has proved the ideal row crop machine.
For more information take a look at the MF Planter and MF7600 this in-field video or this product walkaround video, or visit www.masseyferguson.com
Comfortable, Powerful, Versatile
"Designed with comfort and versatility in mind, the new Massey Ferguson® 6600 Series tractors are an ideal fit for loader work, hay production, planting and tillage, livestock and dairy applications, and general on-the-farm use in any operation," says Matt McDonald, advanced product marketing manager for under-150-hp Massey Ferguson tractors.
"Each model features a standard-powered front axle, as well as a new six-post cab that is identical in size to the larger Massey Ferguson 7600 Series tractors.
"They also feature a newly refined 4.9-liter, 4-cylinder AGCO Power engine that meets the stringent Tier 4i emissions requirements for North America."
Available in three models from 130 to 150 engine hp (100 to 125 PTO-hp), McDonald adds, "this engine is the newest rendition of a proven power plant featuring AGCO's advanced e3 clean air technology. The benefits include exceptional power and performance with greater fuel economy."
Making them all the more versatile, the new 6600 Series tractors, which include the MF6614, MF6615 and MF6616, can be tailored with multiple configurations and features to fit the exact needs and specifications of the customer. The options begin with three different transmissions, depending on the model: the Dyna-VT™ (continuously variable), Dyna-6 (24-speed, semi-powershift) or Dyna-4 (16-speed, semi-powershift). All three transmissions provide efficient power transfer under any field condition.
The 6600 Series tractors are available in a choice of Classic, Deluxe or Premium editions for the desired amount of comfort and control. The Premium version, for example, features everything from electric mirrors to advanced Control Center Displays and a multipad joystick control. Other advanced options—seldom available on a midsize tractor—include a suspended front axle (standard on Deluxe and Premium editions), front 3-point hitch and Auto-Guide satellite-assisted steering.
"Customers also have a choice when it comes to the type of hydraulic system, flow rate and remote valve controls," says McDonald, noting that three different systems are available. "The most basic package provides 15 gallons per minute (gpm), while a high-performing closed-center, load-sensing system delivers up to 29 gpm of flow to the implements and remotes."

Jose Valverde Rumors
Mets Release Jose Valverde, Fire Hitting Coach
The Mets have released Jose Valverde and fired hitting coach Dave Hudgens, ESPN New York's Adam Rubin reports (Twitter links). Vic Black is expected to replace Valverde on the Mets' active roster, Mike Puma of the New York Post tweets. Hudgens will be replaced by minor-league hitting coordinator Lamar Johnson.
Valverde allowed four runs while blowing a save in the Mets' 5-3 loss to the Pirates Monday. He had a 5.66 ERA with 23 strikeouts and 10 walks in 20 2/3 innings this season after the Mets signed him to a minor-league deal in February. The 36-year-old has also pitched for the Diamondbacks, Astros and Tigers in his 12-year big-league career, racking up 288 saves. His career began heading downhill with the Tigers in 2012, and he posted a 5.59 ERA in 19 1/3 innings before being released by Detroit last season. His fastball has lost velocity over the years, falling from 95.8 MPH in 2009 to 92.8 MPH in 2013 and 2014.
Hudgens had served as the Mets' hitting coach since 2011. The Mets' offense currently ranks 10th in the National League in runs scored and has endured poor seasons from Ruben Tejada and Lucas Duda, as well as disappointing performances from newcomers Curtis Granderson and Chris Young.

Parnell Says 50-50 Chance Of Tommy John Surgery
THURSDAY: Parnell tells Rubin that team doctors have told him there's a 50-50 chance that he will require Tommy John surgery. Parnell adds that he might not wait the full six weeks described by Alderson yesterday and could have an answer within two weeks. He would like to have the surgery sooner rather than later, if necessary, in order to be ready as early as possible in 2015.
WEDNESDAY: Because the tear occurred in a thicker part of the ligament, Parnell may be able to avoid a Tommy John procedure, GM Sandy Alderson told reporters, including ESPNNewYork.com's Adam Rubin (links to Twitter). Parnell will go through a program to see if he can stay free of surgery, with a final determination in six weeks time.
In the meantime, Alderson said the club will "continue to monitor" free agent relievers but will wait to see how "things shake out" with his current options before making any moves.
TUESDAY: One day into the season, the Mets are already facing the prospect of an extended absence for their closer, as the team announced that Bobby Parnell has an incomplete tear of the medial collateral ligament in his right elbow (All links to Twitter). Parnell will be shut down completely for two weeks and has already received a platelet-rich plasma injection in the elbow, but surgery is a possible outcome. In the wake of the injury, Andy Martino of the New York Daily News tweets that the Mets "will consider all options," including veteran free agent relievers.
The free agent market contains three names that come with significant experience as a Major League closer; Ryan Madson, Joel Hanrahan and Kevin Gregg are all unsigned, though Madson and Hanrahan are each working their way back from arm injuries (Frank Francisco is also available, but for the time being, I'll assume that ill-fated matchup won't be revisited). As Martino notes in the aforementioned tweet, New York watched Hanrahan throw this winter but didn't elect to send scouts to Madson's showcase.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets that D'Backs right-hander J.J. Putz is "very available" in trades, but he points out that the Mets have already tried that avenue as well in the past (the results were less than spectacular). Sherman hears from scouts that Putz isn't throwing well, and beyond that is the fact that he's set to earn $7MM this season. In a second tweet, he speculates that the Mets won't react by making a big move; the team didn't prioritize the position in the offseason and overvaluing the closer's role isn't GM Sandy Alderson's way, Sherman opines.
For the time being, Jose Valverde will step into the ninth inning for the Mets. After signing a minor league deal this offseason, Valverde had a solid Spring Training and worked 1 1/3 scoreless innings in his first game with the Mets yesterday, including the escape of an inherited bases-loaded jam. The Parnell injury has potentially lucrative ramifications for Valverde, who can reportedly earn up to $1.5MM on top of his $1MM salary based on appearances and games finished (full breakdown here).
Alderson tells Marc Carig of Newsday that a move to the bullpen for Jenrry Mejia isn't an option (Twitter link). Other internal options for the Mets could include Jeurys Familia, Vic Black (though he struggled mightily in Spring Training) and Kyle Farnsworth. For further updates on Parnell and other closer-related news throughout the season, you can follow @closernews on Twitter.

Added To The 40-Man Roster: Wednesday
Between now and Opening Day, several minor league signees will win jobs with their clubs and earn 40-man roster spots. Here are today's additions:
- Reliever Jose Valverde will make the Mets Opening Day roster, tweets Adam Rubin of ESPN.com. The 36-year-old will occupy a 40-man slot. Last year, in 19 1/3 innings with the Tigers, Valverde threw to a 5.59 ERA. But he allowed only three earned runs in nine innings this spring, and more importantly struck out seven against just one walk.
- The Indians have informed reliever Scott Atchison that he will be on the Opening Day roster, Paul Hoynes of the Plain Dealer reports on Twitter. Accordingly, Atchison will need to be placed on the club's 40-man. The soon-to-be 38-year-old was non-tendered by the Mets before hooking on with Cleveland on a minor league deal. He had a strong spring, allowing just two runs and one walk in eight innings while striking out eight batters.

Mets Sign Jose Valverde
SUNDAY: Joel Sherman of the New York Post tweets the breakdown of Valverde's performance bonuses: $75K for appearing in 40, 45, and 50 games; $100K for appearing in 55, 60, and 65 games; $100K for finishing 30 and 35 games; $250K for finishing 40 and 45 games; and $300K for finishing 50 games. Valverde also has a March 26 opt-out, tweets Sherman.
WEDNESDAY, 10:51am: Valverde can also earn up to $1.5MM in performance bonuses, according to Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (Twitter link).
9:11am: The Mets have signed right-hander Jose Valverde to a minor league deal that contains an invitation to Major League Spring Training, the team announced on Twitter. Jon Heyman of CBS Sports reports (also via Twitter) that the Praver/Shapiro client will earn $1MM if he makes the club.
This marks the second former closer that the Mets have signed to a minor league deal in the past week, as the club has also invited Kyle Farnsworth to camp. Valverde is the more accomplished closer of the two, but his recent struggled are well-documented. "Papa Grande" posted a 3.00 ERA with 7.9 K/9, 4.1 BB/9 and 110 saves for the Tigers from 2010-12. However, he began to unravel late in the 2012 season and in the 2012 playoffs. He would eventually return to Detroit in May 2013, briefly solidifying the closer role before allowing six home runs in eight appearances. The end result was a 5.59 ERA that caused the Tigers to designate Valverde for assignment.
Valverde adds another experienced arm to the Mets' bullpen depth, and he'll try to break camp with the team in order to join a bullpen that figures to be headlined by Bobby Parnell and young flamethrower Vic Black.

No Deal Between D-Backs, Valverde
10:25am: Valverde told Enrique Rojas of ESPN Deportes that he does not have a deal with the Diamondbacks and has recently switched agents. Formerly with Scott Boras, he is now represented by Praver/Shapiro (Spanish Twitter links).
8:15am: The Diamondbacks and Jose Valverde have agreed to terms on a minor league deal, according to Jon Heyman of CBS Sports (on Twitter).
With this deal, the 36-year-old Valverde returns to the organization that signed him as an international free agent in 1997. "Papa Grande" spent the first five seasons of his career with the Diamondbacks (2003-07), leading the National League with 47 saves in his final season there. He was then traded to the Astros for Chris Burke, J.C. Gutierrez and Chad Qualls that offseason.
Most recently, Valverde is known for his work with the Tigers. Valverde posted a 3.00 ERA with 7.9 K/9, 4.1 BB/9 and 110 saves from 2010-12. However, he began to unravel late in the 2012 season and in the 2012 playoffs.

The end result was a 5.59 ERA that caused the Tigers to designate Valverde for assignment.

Free Agent Rumors: Cruz, Benoit, Valverde, Giants
As Day Three of the Winter Meetings in Orlando comes to a close, plenty of free agents are still seeking new teams. Here are the latest updates on a few of them:
- Rockies people tell Troy Renck of the Denver Post (Twitter link) that nothing has changed with Nelson Cruz. There's interest in the free agent outfielder, but it's not being characterized as serious at this point.
- The Mariners have been ardent Cruz pursuers from the start of the winter, and one baseball source tells Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com they'll continue to be in the mix for him even after adding Robinson Cano, Corey Hart, and Logan Morrison.
- Teams believe reliever Joaquin Benoit's likeliest destinations are the Indians, Padres, Mariners, Cubs, or Yankees, tweets Jeff Passan of Yahoo! Sports.
- Agent Scott Boras says client Jose Valverde, who turns 36 in March, intends to continue his big league career and has drawn interest from two big league teams, writes James Schmehl of MLive.com. The Tigers released their former closer in August after his Triple-A reboot didn't go as well as he hoped.
- Earlier in the evening, assistant GM Bobby Evans expressed optimism that San Francisco would find a left fielder by trade or free agency by the day's end, with Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com naming Franklin Gutierrez as a candidate. However, the Giants no longer expect resolution on their left field situation tonight, says Baggarly (via Twitter). The CSN Bay Area scribe also takes a more in-depth look at some of the club's options.
- Catcher Kurt Suzuki is talking with the Rockies, Cubs, and Twins, tweets Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle.

Tigers Release Jose Valverde
The Tigers have unconditionally released former closer Jose Valverde, the team announced on Twitter. The 35-year-old Valverde had previously accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Toledo as he looked to regain his form after being designated for assignment at the end of June.
In 11 innings at Toledo, Valverde picked up seven saves with a 4.09 ERA, 10 strikeouts and six walks. While not stellar numbers, it's an improvement from the 5.59 ERA he posted in 19 1/3 innings as the Tigers' closer earlier this season. Valverde's return to the ninth inning for the Tigers started well, but over his final 7 1/3 innings he surrendered six homers, resulting in 11 runs and his subsequent DFA.

Valverde Accepts Outright Assignment To Triple-A
THURSDAY: Valverde has accepted an outright assignment to Triple-A Toledo, according to Tigers manager of media relations Rick Thompson (on Twitter).
FRIDAY: The Tigers have designated Jose Valverde for assignment tweets Jon Heyman of CBS Sports.
The 35-year-old Valverde returned to the Tigers following the start of the season and stepped into the closer's role admirably. He converted six of his first seven save opportunities, allowing one run over the course of 12 innings in that time. Over his past 7 1/3 innings, however, Valverde has allowed 11 runs on the strength of six homers.
Tigers manager Jim Leyland recently said that Joaquin Benoit would handle the majority of the closing duties, but shied away from officially naming Benoit the team's closer (MLB.com's Jason Beck reporting on Twitter).

Tigers Notes: Closer, Scherzer
The Tigers are eight games above .500, feature a powerful lineup and dominant rotation, and seem as good or better than last year's World Series entrant. According to Fangraphs, Detroit projects to finish with the second-best record in baseball. But the team has one much-discussed weakness: the back of the bullpen. Long rumored to be exploring trade options to fill the closer role, the Tigers will generate even more discussion given the team's recent shedding of incumbent Jose Valverde and the approaching trade deadline. Here are a few notes on that and other topics:
- Detroit GM Dave Dombrowski insists that, in spite of designating Valverde for assignment, the team "still think[s] he can close games for us." As Drew Sharp of the Detroit Free Press reports, the team hopes Valverde will clear waivers and accept an assignment to Triple-A.
- In the same piece, Sharp offers that the true purpose of Dombrowski's supportive words is to position the club on the trade market. According to Sharp, Dombrowski is confident that the team can take the division even if it bides its time solving its 9th-inning dilemna. By playing it slow, then, the GM is trying to avoid being forced to overpay for a big-name arm well in advance of the trade deadline.
- While the closer role will always get more attention, the Tigers are also looking for better consistency amongst their setup men. The club recently recalled Al Alburquerque, who has dominating stuff but struggles to control it. In his first outing since returning to the big club, his control issues featured prominently. The performance of the club's middle relief/setup corps could also factor into its trade deadline plans.
- Meanwhile, the Tigers have enjoyed incredible production from starter Max Scherzer, who rates in the top five league-wide as measured by fWAR. (In fact, look at the rest of the list and you will notice that the club has four of the league's top twelve starters by that metric.) As FOXSports.com's Jon Paul Morosi writes, Scherzer's breakout has set him up for a big payday. Agent Scott Boras says that Scherzer is "one of the top pitchers in the game," and will enter a "changed" pitching market "when [he] hits it" after 2014. With Scherzer posting remarkable strikeout totals and superior results, he will not only get a nice arbitration raise next year but has greatly raised the price of a hypothetical extension. Detroit may regret not taking up Ben Nicholson-Smith's suggestion before the 2012 season that a four-year, $30MM extension was a fair target. Now, the team will have to decide whether it can afford to lock down both Scherzer and fellow 29-year-old starter Doug Fister, with long-term deals already on the books for Justin Verlander and Anibal Sanchez.

Mets, Yankees Deny Making Offer To Valverde
5:58pm: A National League source told Buster Olney of ESPN.com (on Twitter) that the Mets didn't make an offer to Valverde either.
4:31pm: WFAN's Sweeny Murti tweets that Yankees GM Brian Cashman denied the claims made by Valverde. Cashman said that not only did the Yankees not make an offer, they didn't even have discussions with Valverde and Boras.
3:55pm: Jose Valverde is back in a familiar role as the Tigers' closer, but he could've been in a very different situation had wanted to this offseason. The 35-year-old told Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports today that the Yankees and Mets both offered him a Major League contract this offseason (Twitter link).
Neither the Mets or Yankees wound up adding much in the way of bullpen help on Major League deals. The Mets reportedly had interest in Brian Wilson at various points throughout the winter. Ultimately, they elected to sign Brandon Lyon and add Scott Atchison and LaTroy Hawkins on minor league commitments. The Yankees, meanwhile, re-signed Mariano Rivera and swung a deal with the Mariners to land right-hander Shawn Kelley.
Valverde signed a minor league contract with the Tigers in early April which was re-worked into a Major League deal yesterday. The Scott Boras client clearly would not have been a candidate to close for the Yankees with Rivera in the fold, though it seems possible that he could've gotten some save opportunities for the Mets.

Bruxie launched its first gourmet waffle sandwich stand in November 2010 in Old Towne Orange. On Tuesday, Catterton Partners, a Connecticut private equity firm, announced plans to invest in Bruxie's growth. The chain plans to expand beyond Orange County.
Locations: 292 N. Glassell St., Orange (flagship stand opened November 2010); 215 W. Birch St., Brea; 22205 El Paseo, Rancho Santa Margarita; 13865 City Center Drive, Chino Hills; 180 Fifth St., Huntington Beach; 14376 Culver Drive, Irvine
Coming soon: 279 E. 17th St., Costa Mesa (formerly Greek Town Grill). Also in Los Angeles, San Diego and Denver. A pancake mix, Bruxie Pancakes Too, will be sold in specialty markets.
Milestones: In 2011, Bruxie ranked as Yelp's No. 2 most popular restaurant in the nation.
Early investors: Bill Allen and Paul Fleming, creators of Fleming's Prime Steakhouse & Wine Bar, and Harald Herrmann of Irvine-based Yard House. On Tuesday (Oct. 1), Catterton Partners, a Connecticut private equity firm, announced plans to invest in Bruxie's growth. The company's portfolio includes Noodles & Co. and Mendocino Farms.
Review: Restaurant Critic Brad A. Johnson weighs on on the "bold" fold
In November 2010, Dean Simon and Kelly Mullarney bet big on a never-before-seen meal mash-up called Bruxie. Taking waffles beyond the breakfast table, the chefs, trained in fine dining, used them as a vehicle to deliver a beloved American comfort food: the sandwich.
But would customers get it?
On Day 2, they got their answer. Lines snaked around the 400-square-foot food shack near Chapman University. Simon frantically cooked the dimpled, airy waffles, while Mullarney stuffed them with upscale ingredients – prosciutto di Parma, Gruyere and goat cheeses, Angus beef patties, Nutella.
They ran out of batter after lunch. Bruxie had to stop taking orders, an exhausted Simon told dozens of curious foodies in line. He was certain everyone would walk away and never return. Instead, they paid and waited 75 minutes for their first "bold fold" bite.
"That was the day I said to Kelly, 'We got something here,'" Simon said.
Three years later, customers continue to crave Bruxie's gourmet waffle sandwiches sold in Orange and locations in Brea, Rancho Santa Margarita, Huntington Beach, Chino Hills and Irvine. In an interview with the Register, the founders revealed the next phase for the unconventional concept that has sparked a waffle revolution.
At the end of the year, a seventh Bruxie is coming to 17th Street in Costa Mesa. Major expansion is planned for Los Angeles, San Diego and Denver – growth aided by an infusion of investment funds from legendary restaurateurs Bill Allen and Paul Fleming and private equity firm Catterton Partners. A Bruxie pancake mix is also in the works.
"Now we're looking to prove it outside of Orange County," Simon said.
Validating the waffle phenomenon should be easy for Bruxie.
Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom, Irvine-based Taco Bell and Jack in the Box have studied Bruxie's menu – creating copycat waffle sandwiches at their venues. Waffle-centric menus are popping up at food trucks and restaurants across the country -- from Washinton D.C. to Chicago.
Creating 'the bold fold'
A trip to Belgium, a case of the munchies and a USC sports scandal led to Bruxie's birth.
Simon, a produce wholesaler, discovered the sweet, cotton candy smell of Liege waffles and the less sugary Brussels waffles during a 2002 business trip in Belgium. A chef with a penchant for experimentation, Simon saw potential in adapting the Brussels waffle for use in America.
After a few years, he perfected a savory (not sweet) Brussels waffle recipe. He began selling "Brux Waffles" to restaurants and Crystal Cruises. He knew he had something special when 65 "waffle love letters" came pouring in from cruise ship travelers.
"They went crazy for it," Simon said.

T3 personal mobility stand-up trike suited for police patrols
Made by T3 Motion, the T3 is designed for police patrols and other security scenarios where horses, bicycles or cruisers aren't effective. The T3 three-wheeler offers enhanced visibility from its 8-inch riding platform and can turn on its rear-wheel axis. Top speed is 25 mph. The vehicle runs on two rechargeable batteries that give it a range of about 30 miles. Total weight with batteries is 240 pounds.
T3's president Neil Brooker told me the T3 will sell for about $6,200 and two batteries with charger run about $1,800. In the near future he'll offer a trailer to enhance the utility. I think it has potential as a warehouse runner if a service body could be adapted. Brooker gives the T3 a 450-pound payload. But for now the flashing police lights and siren are pretty cool.

Target Data Breach Should Not Affect Big Card Processors, Says KBW
TheStreet) --
Target Corp.
(TGT) is being cagey about how it managed to allow data for "approximate 40 million credit and debit card accounts" to be stolen, but it would appear that blame for the theft falls squarely on the retailer, and not on payment processors.
Target announced the data theft on Thursday, and CEO Gregg Steinhafel said the usual "we regret any inconvenience this may cause," rather than saying "we regret the inconvenience." The company also said it had "alerted authorities and financial institutions immediately after it was made aware of the unauthorized access, and is putting all appropriate resources behind these efforts."
The company also said "information involved in this incident included customer name, credit or debit card number, and the card's expiration date and CVV." That means whoever stole the data has everything they need to make online purchases.
Target seemed to get a little cute in saying in its Thursday press release that the data theft "may have impacted certain guests," considering that whoever stole the data got all the key pieces of data needed to use make fraudulent purchases.
Target said "You should remain vigilant for incidents of fraud and identity theft by regularly reviewing your account statements and monitoring free credit reports. If you discover any suspicious or unusual activity on your accounts or suspect fraud, be sure to report it immediately to your financial institutions." However, Target didn't make the obvious point that those 40 million credit card accounts will have to be cancelled, with new credit cards issued to customers.
The retailer's shares pulled back only 2% on Thursday to $62.15. In premarket trading on Friday, Target was down another 0.32%.
The retailer has provided very little information about the data theft so far, other than its nauseating scope. A good reason for this may be that the theft occurred right at the stores, and that the company doesn't want to give any other potential data hackers any bright ideas.
"Given the limited details available as we do not know where the data breach occurred (in-house system or the payment terminal level), it is currently hard to determine who will ultimately bear the cost of the breach," wrote KBW analyst Sanjay Sakhrani in a note to clients late Thursday.
The analyst said he had spoken with intermediary payment processors Global Payments, Inc. (GPN), Heartland Payment Systems (HPY) and Total System Services (TSS), "and all three companies have confirmed that Target is not a client on the merchant acquiring side."
Sakhrani also said he didn't expect "any impacts" on the major credit card processing networks run by American Express AXP, Discover Financial Services (DFS), Visa (V) and MasterCard (MA).

Bill O'Brien Of Penn State Named 2012 Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach Of The Year
HOUSTON, Jan. 18, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Bill O'Brien of Penn State takes the 2012 Coach of the Year title at the Marathon Oil Corporation Paul "Bear" Bryant Awards, which raises funds annually for the American Heart Association.

The Coach of the Year winner is selected each year by the National Sportscasters and Sportswriters Association and announced live at the awards dinner.

Penn State capped its remarkable season with a 24-21 overtime victory over eventual Big Ten Champion Wisconsin on an emotional Senior Day, with 31 committed and dedicated seniors introduced before the game. O'Brien's eight wins were the most by a first-year Penn State coach in the 126 years of the program and led to a plethora of accolades for his leadership, coaching acumen and commitment under unprecedented conditions. The engaging, detail-oriented and intense O'Brien spent 14 years coaching college football at Brown, Georgia Tech, Maryland and Duke before spending five highly-successful years as part of the NFL New England Patriots' staff. The finalists competing with O'Brien for the Coach of the Year Award included: James Franklin of Vanderbilt, Urban Meyer of The Ohio State, David Shaw of Stanford, Bill Snyder of Kansas State and Kevin Sumlin of Texas A&M.

Yes, there is...Get a cheap video adapter.
For your video card you need a low profile card with a low profile mounting bracket, which works within the contraints of your 220W P/S.
This one should work just fine. You will need to remove the regular profile bracket that the card comes with and replace with the low profile bracket included in the box.
It goes in that longer black slot running parallel to the bottom of the picture below.
Below is the service manual if you need to see how to gain access to the inside of the PC.
This card comes with an HDMI out port which means you may lose your onboard video after you install it.
Should that happen, reboot the PC after you install the card and tap the F10 key to gain access to the BIOS.
Find the onboard audio setting. It will be set to either Auto or Disabled. Change the setting there to Enabled and hit the F10 key to save the setting, and again when you exit (save settings and exit).
When you restart the PC, the onboard audio should be restored.

Thank you Paul,
I will give this a try. It looks like it may be a tight fit, but it is hard to tell how big the vidio card replacement is from their picture of it on the website.
Thanks again

You're very welcome, Kevin.
You may be able to find video cards with thinner heat sinks if they come with a fan.
I am not a fan of fans because of the noise and the possibliliy of the fans going bad.
However on the plus side in a small case a fan may be more desirable to evacuate the hot air out of the case forcefully rather than passively.
Just make sure you get a low profile card with low profile brackets and one that won't blow out your power supply.

Legends Luncheon – Part 1: A look into Dayton Moore's plans
Around the Horn got a treat today with the final State Farm Legends Luncheon of the season. General Manager Dayton Moore and manager Trey Hillman chatted with former Royals Al Fitzmorris and Willie Wilson for a few hours in downtown Kansas City and we got to listen.
For today, we're going to give you a taste of what went on during the event.
If you haven't been to one of these, we here at ATH strongly recommend them. Wilson and Fitzmorris serve as the host and talk to guests who are connected to Kansas City baseball or even players and coaches who represent the legacy of the Negro Leagues and Buck O'Neil. For more info, check out www.bestofbuck.com.
Today's session started with a thank you to all those in attendance. Through nine years of Luncheons, over $100,000 have been raised for the Negro Leagues Museum. That's a substantial sum for what started as an idea hatched in a conference room.
Once Wilson and Fitzmorris took the stage, they introduced Hillman and Moore. Wilson, who endorsed TeamSmile before the interview started, thanked Moore and his staff for bringing back the Royals Alumni. Wilson said he really enjoys being involved in the organization again and feels it will help re-instill the tradition of the franchise to the new players.
Wilson said it means a lot to him because he has a strong connection with the Royals. He worked his way through the system. So when he got to the bigs, he felt ownership over the team and pride in the uniform he wore. Similar to how he felt once he reached the Majors, Wilson said 60 percent of the Major League club needs to be grown through the farm system.
Moore agreed with him and spoke about being able to draft. He said that in the past, it wasn't totally an issue of money being put into the draft, but instead the picks which did get the money didn't pan out the way they should have. The philosophy has changed.
"You have to draft on ability and not signability," Moore said.
Moore then talked about growing scouting everywhere and not just looking at the draft as a means of acquiring talent to be groomed. At this moment, the team is working on developing a foothold in the Eastern Rim – with area scouts and talent evaluators. The team is also ramping up efforts in Latin America and becoming more aggressive in the Dominican Republic, where the Royals already have a baseball academy.
To grow the system even more, programs are in place for the Fall Instructional League that will allow players who workout during the day and attend classes at night at Glendale (AZ) Community College. They will learn about leadership, character and responsibility on and off the field. Moore said this is something no other team is doing.
Wilson said home-grown players have an attachment to the "Blue and White," a bond they've formed with the team since entering the organization and then continued as they flourished inside of it. Moore seconded his thoughts, saying "Players have to feel strongly about putting on the Royal uniform."
These programs are making the Royals the toast of the league. In some respects, the Major League club may not be the strongest competition, but scouts are raving about the work going on in the Minor Leagues and at the scouting level. But there is still a lot of heavy lifting to be done.
For example, he threw out a few names the Detroit Tigers picked up over the last offseason. To acquire Edgar Renteria, the Royals would have had to give up Luke Hochevar and Dan Cortes. To get Dontrelle Willis and Miguel Cabrera they might have had to fork over Hochevar, Cortes, Derrick Robinson and maybe even Danny Duffy. Those trades would have decimated a thin minor league system. Moore said beyond those few, there was a large gap to get to the next tier of talent in the system.
"Before we build a great farm system, it will be very difficult to impact the Major League team," Moore said.
The Royals are 10-5 this month, eclipsing their 2007 September win total with 11 games left in the season…When Brandon Duckworth struck out Wladimir Balentien to end the sixth inning; the 2008 pitching staff become the Royals strikeout kings. They passed the 1990 staff which had 1,006 punch outs with Duckworth's K and ended the night with 1,010 for the season. That number is sure to skyrocket with Gil Meche and Zack Greinke likely to get at least two starts still (both are in the American League's top 10 for K's this season)…As a team, the K.C. offense produced a cycle in the fifth inning last night. It was the first time since June 14, 2007 that the Royals have singled, doubled, tripled and homered in one inning.

Today's Official Game Notes.
The Second Season
Whether you count the All-Star break as the halfway point or you're technical about it and measure the year in 81 game halves, the season is past its halfway point.
The Royals have 96 games in the bag. Tonight is 97 and the start of a short three game trip to Chicago. Trey Hillman said it yesterday when he noted that we have a tough stretch ahead.
To look a little further at what's to come and where we've been, let's go Around the Horn…
General Manager Dayton Moore and manager Trey Hillman addressed the media yesterday before the team's workout at Kauffman. The biggest thing they stressed is more consistency from the bats and the arms. To get started off right, Zack Greinke will get the ball tonight. Greinke earned the No. 1 slot with consistent pitching. They want him pitching to both divisional foes, throwing tonight in Chicago and again on Wednesday in the last game of the series against Detroit.
He's been nasty to hitters, striking out 104 so far this season and becoming the first K.C. pitcher to record 100+ punch outs before the All-Star break since 1997. Greinke also holds a .188 batting average against when there are men in scoring position, which is second in the A.L.
Trey said that pitching coach Bob McClure and the starters worked throughout the All-Star break at the Stadium. Trey cited a reason for the streaks the team has rattled off – both good and bad – has been because of the pitching, specifically the starting rotation which holds a 31-39 record. Last season the starters were 28-39 through 96 games.
Consistency is the motto and there is improvement. The biggest difference between 2007 and 2008, however is that seven pitchers have started games this year. 13 pitchers started at least one game last season.
The state of the position players was also addressed by General Manager Dayton Moore. He said the organization is looking for Billy Butler to continue to improve, Alex Gordon to become more consistent and Mark Teahen to build upon the improvements he's shown over the last month. Moore also mentioned David DeJesus and acknowledged the outfielder's continuing success.
DeJesus is among the elite in the game right now. He entered the break with a .460 batting average with men in scoring position, which leads the Majors and is 41 points higher than Rangers' All-Star Ian Kinsler who is second. In fact DeJesus' mark is the eighth best entering the All-Star break since 1974 when RISP became a stat. Among those higher than DeJesus at the Midsummer Classic, Tony Gwyn's .500 in 1997, Barry Bonds' .500 in 1990 and Rod Carew's .467 in 1975. Needless to say, DeJesus established a Royals record, topping Mike Sweeney's .438 in 2000 and Hal McRae's .427 in 1982.
It should be noted that John Buck is 10th in the Majors with a .361 RISP average, the highest catcher in the Majors.
And as we wrap position players, Jose Guillen has to be mentioned. He's had an outstanding season at the plate. So far: he's tied a single game RBI record with seven in June 7, eclipsed last year's RBI season high with 65 this year (tied for fourth in the A.L.), belted 13 homers (seven of which have given the Royals the lead) and he's ranked in several other offensive categories.
As a team, the Royals have four players at 10 or more home runs with another sitting on nine. In 2007, only two players hit 10 or more and four hit 10 or more in 2006.
Dayton Moore mentioned that the team is always looking to improve itself through trades or signings but does not want to compromise the current core of young players for a few months of service time or even a year of service unless the team felt it absolutely necessary…The team hired Sports Psychologist Andrew Jacobs, who was introduced to the team before yesterday's workout…Leo Nunez was moved to Double-A Northwest Arkansas for rehab, because of Triple-A Omaha's All-Star break. He pitched two innings of relief last night, recording a pair of strikeouts.
The Royals return home for seven games on Monday. Plenty of promotions are in the works for the home stand including Frank White powder blue T-shirts Dan Quisenberry bobbleheads an Emerson Drive concert and the return of Girl's Night Out.
Tonight marks the first of 28 straight games against opponents with winning records, 16 of which are at Kauffman. The combined record for the seven teams is 368-297 for a .553 winning percentage.
Hope you didn't miss the All-Star game coverage here from our man Swanee who was in New York on Monday and Tuesday for the festivities and in the dugout during the game.
Extra Innnings
The Royals are working on a number of things for Military Appreciation Day, which is August 2. Around the Horn would like to request some help from our faithful here at mlblogs.com.
