Small ruminants, sheep and goats, are increasingly becoming a major source of animal protein in Nigeria, contributing over 30 percent to total meat consumption in the country. The output of sheep and goat meat was estimated as 100 000 tonnes in 1965 and 163 000 tonnes in 1980 (McClintock, 1983).
Estimates from the Federal Livestock Department in 1983 showed that there are 11 million cattle, 22 million goats, 8 million sheep, 900 000 pigs, and 150 million poultry (both local and exotic) in the country. Livestock production represents approximately 10 percent of agricultural activity and less than 5 percent of the Gross Domestic Product.
In Nigeria, sheep and goats play a significant socio-economic role in the life of the people: they are slaughtered during ceremonies and festivals, and serve as a source of ready cash to small farmers. The skin of the Red Sokoto goat is well known for its superior quality and the high premium it commands in the world market.
The main production systems are traditional, although they differ from place to place due to socio-economic reasons.
Humid zone
In the humid zone with approximately 6.6 million goats and 1.8 million sheep, the main production systems are free-roaming, tethering and confinement. In the southwest, sheep and goats are kept by a large number of rural households as free-roaming village flocks, with little additional inputs. Mating is uncontrolled. Sometimes animals, particularly sheep, are tethered to avoid the destruction of crops during the growing season. Ownership pattern is 2–4 animals per individual.
In the southeast, the traditional free-roaming condition is being modified by high human population density and increasing pressure on agricultural land. Confinement and tethering are important in this area to avoid damage to crops. Animals are fed household scraps, tree foliage (commonly palm fronds) and by-products of food processing (Francis, 1987). Ownership pattern is 3–4 animals per household.
In the sub-humid/semi-arid zone, sheep are grazed with cattle by the nomadic Fulani throughout the year moving from north to south of the country in synchronization with rainfall pattern and pasture availability. In the system practised by the Hausas, sheep and goats are confined in compounds during the cropping season, feeding them through cut-and-carry. Tethering of animals is also important. However, in the dry season animals are allowed to scavenge on farm stubbles after crop harvesting. Crop residues such as groundnut haulms, husks, grain offals and cotton seed are also fed to sheep and goats. Herding of goats by children and elderly people is becoming important in the zone, especially in the cropping season.
The humid zone has varying levels of tsetse challenge and therefore, small ruminant production is limited to those breeds that can tolerate tsetse transmitted trypanosomiasis. The zone therefore supports trypanotolerant West African dwarf breeds of sheep and goats. In the savannah and the semi-arid zone, the large sized, long-legged breeds thrive well. These are the Red Sokoto and Sahel goats, and the Yankasa, Uda and Balami sheep. The Kano brown and Borno white goats are believed to be strains of Red Sokoto (Adu and Ngere, 1979).
Reproductive performance
Reproductive performance of 1.5 lambs/ewe/year, and 2.2 kids/doe/year has been recorded among the West African dwarf sheep and goats respectively in two village groups of southwest Nigeria (Mack, 1983). Survival indices of the kids and lambs up to 90 days are 0.76 and 0.84 respectively (Table 1). Overall mortalities were 23.7 percent for goats, and 21 percent for sheep, with offtake rates of 28 and 38 percent respectively. In the southeast, where animals are confined, the reproductive performance among the goats is 2 kids/doe/year with a survival index of 0.78 pre-weaning.

Little information is available concerning the reproductive traits of sheep and goats kept under traditional systems in the subhumid zone. Bayer (1984) reported fertility rates of 120 percent and 100 percent among the flocks of sheep and goats respectively kept by settled Fulani in southern Kaduna State. Mortalities were 25 and 22 percent in sheep and goats respectively. At Shika in Zaria, Adu, Buvanendran and Lakpini (1979) reported lambing percentages of 128.9 in Uda, and 112.6 in Yankasa sheep, with overall mortalities of 14 and 6.3 percent respectively. In Katsina sheep farm, a lambing rate of 110 percent was observed among the Balami sheep (David-West, 1985). Among the Red Sokoto goats, Adu, Buvanendran and Lakpini (1979) observed 140 kiddings from 96 does at Shika research station.
The production potential of the Nigerian sheep and goats would appear to be high; they experience high mortality from disease, often aggravated by undernutrition and poor management. A special problem is Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) (Akerejola, Schillhorn, van Veen and Njoku, 1979); Opasina (1985). Other disease constraints are pneumonias, parasitic gastroenteritis, trypanosomiasis and ectoparasitic infestation caused by sarcoptic mange as shown in Tables 2 and 3.
In heavily cropped areas, nutrition has been shown to be a major constraint during the rainy season when animals have to be restricted to avoid damage to crops. Undernutrition is also a limiting factor to small ruminant production in the dry season.
Disease control interventions in sheep and goats in the village production systems of the southwest have shown that nutrition could be a constraint when mortality is reduced, and the animal number is subsequently increased.
Livestock policy
The policy of the Nigerian Government is to improve the nutritional status of its people through the domestic provision of high quality protein rich livestock products, to provide locally all necessary raw material inputs for the livestock industry, to provide rural employment through an expanded livestock programme, and to improve and stabilize rural income emanating from livestock production and processing.
The breeding policy for sheep and goats is to select and improve the local breeds.
Integration of sheep and goats into the farming system
The main production systems as highlighted earlier in this paper are those of low inputs: no investment on land, no special feed or housing. The integration of sheep and goats into the existing systems is a sound approach, when one considers the low incomes of the small farmers.

Accordingly, the Nigerian National Livestock Project Department (NLPD) launched a pilot development for small-scale sheep and goat producers in southwest Nigeria in 1983. The programme which includes a veterinary package (PPR and mange control) and establishment of browse trees in the farmers' farmlands, is based on 6 years of farming systems research by ILCA's Humid Zone Programme on how to integrate animal production into the alley cropping system developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture.
The veterinary interventions would lead to reduced mortality, increased animal numbers and a constraint on the existing feed source. In the alley farming concept, fast growing protein rich leguminous trees, Leucaena leucocephala and Gliricidia sepium are intercropped in the form of alleys with food crops. Leaves from the trees provide feed for sheep and goats (through cut and carry) and are also used to maintain soil fertility (through mulching) for permanent cropping. In the southwest, more than 200 farmers are at present participating in the scheme.
In the southeast, where sheep and goats are confined for most parts of the year, due to population pressure on land, the intensive field garden concept is being evaluated. More than 50 farmers are participating in this scheme up to date.
National programme on small ruminant disease control
The policy of the Federal Government is to alleviate animal health problems within the country through disease control strategies.
PPR control
Recent studies by the International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) indicate that vaccination against Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) would result in over 50 percent reduction in small ruminant mortality in the village production systems. The Government has recognized the vital roles which these animals are playing in the life of its people, and accordingly, the Federal Livestock Department of the Ministry of Agriculture, Water Resources and Rural Development in collaboration with the Agriculture Ministries of some states in the humid zone, has embarked on a pilot PPR vaccination campaign. More than 50 000 sheep and goats were vaccinated in two states over a period of two weeks. The vaccination programme is a continuing process, and it is anticipated that more than half a million animals would be covered within this year.
In the next rinderpest campaign coming up in October 1987, another PPR control programme will be launched in two states of the sub-humid zone. It is anticipated that over 1 million animals would be convered in the process.
Sheep and Goat Multiplication Centre
FLD sheep and goat centres. The Federal Livestock Department in 1978 started sheep and goat meat production in 3 sites: one for goats and 2 for sheep. The sheep projects are located at Tuma (940 hectares) and Ladanawa (800 hectares) at Katsina in Kaduna State, while the goat project is at Zugu (14.5 sq.km.) in Sokoto State.
The objectives of the programme are:
To preserve pure breeds of Sokoto goats and Balami sheep.
To identify suitable management for sheep and goat production through optimum pasture utilization, supplementary feeding as necessary, controlled mating programmes, genetic selection within the breeds and adoption of a sound animal health programme.
Considerable progress has been made since the inception of the projects, and at present there are some 1 500 sheep at Katsina and 600 goats at Zugu. The major constraints especially in the Katsina project (drought) are inconsistent availability of water, and difficulty in establishment and maintenance of pastures. Few mature male and female goats have been made available to local farmers with subsidies in order to improve their local stock.
A system of recording of sheep and goats has started in collaboration with the Small Ruminant Group of the International Livestock Centre for Africa, with a view to determining their reproductive indices.
State sheep and goat centres. Sheep and goat multiplication centres have also been set up by some states of the Federation, with a main objective of providing breeding animals to local farmers. Such projects are located at Pampegua in Kaduna State, Kaltungo in Bauchi State, Marguba in Borno State, Rano in Kano State and Fasola in Oyo State.
Fattening of sheep and goats. The National Livestock Project Department is making loans available to a number of smallholders of sheep and goats for a fattening scheme.
Research and training
ILCA Humid Zone Programme. The International Livestock Centre for Africa (ILCA) based in Ibadan, through an interdisciplinary team of scientists, has been researching into ways of integrating sheep and goats into the existing farming systems in southern Nigeria. Apart from the on-farm studies, the centre has focused on basic collaborative research with the national institutes to improve small ruminant production. The programme also organizes seminars, and trains research and extension staff in techniques for the establishment and management of alley farms.
National Universities. Various universities in the humid zone have embarked on small ruminant research and training. Notable among these is the Department of Animal Science of Obafemi Awolowo University Ile-Ife, which is researching on management of West African dwarf goats, in collaboration with the National Agricultural University of Wageningen, the Netherlands, and the International Livestock Centre for Africa.
Research Institutes. Among the institutes engaged in small ruminant research and training in Nigeria are the National Animal Production Research Institute (NAPRI) at Shika, and the National Veterinary Research Institute (NVRI) at Vom.
NAPRI. NAPRI researches into ways of improving reproductive performance of the indigenous breeds of sheep and goats, through breeding, nutritional studies, management, animal health programme and socio-economic studies. The institute has an out station at Ubiaja, Bendel State to improve productivity of small ruminants in the humid zone. The initial emphasis at the station is to breed, select and supply improved males to interested farmers. NAPRI has also adopted a farming system research approach to small ruminant development in the sub-humid zone, and the institute organizes training and workshops from time to time. It works in collaboration with the Department of Animal Science and Agricultural Extension and Research Liaison Service of Ahmadu Bello University and the Leather Institute of Nigeria, in areas of small ruminant development.
NVRI. NVRI researches into sheep and goat diseases, and develops appropriate diagnostic techniques. Of the most significant is PPR. The institute is engaged in providing diagnostic and investigatory services as well as producing vaccine for disease control. NVRI has been organizing training and workshops relating to small ruminant diseases for extension officers.
Although a number of people have been suggesting a more intensive production approach to small ruminant development in Nigeria, the initial capital investment and management constraints associated with such a venture may make the programme unattractive. In the interim, improvement of the existing systems should be the main focus, until technology is ready for intensive production systems. The importance of small ruminants in the life of the people cannot be overemphasized. The Government is quite aware of this development, and as a result, priority is being accorded to sheep and goat production development in the Fifth National Development Plan.

One of ballet's most famous works with some of its best known music. It is Siegfried's birthday and his mother gives him a crossbow and an ultimatum to get married! After the party and finding himself alone he goes hunting. The evil magician Rothbart (half man half bird) keeps beautiful women as swans on the lake - but by night they resume human form. Siegfried is bewitched by Odette, a Princess and one of the Swans. She explains their plight to Siegfried and says the spell can only be broken by someone who'll love her truly for ever. He swears to do so but Odette returns to being a swan as Rothbart's powers are so strong. Siegfried returns to the palace and his mother presents him with a string of women from whom to chose his bride - Rothbart arrives with his daughter Odile disguised as Odette and Siegfried agrees to marry her - only then realising his mistake as Odile reviles him for breaking his vow to Odette. Siegfried returns to the lake and begs Odette to forgive him - then fights Rothbart whom he kills - and the swans are released from the spell.

Three mothers in need of a child. Three children, one not yet born. Three lives that are obscurely linked. Rodrigo Garcia has made his career with films sympathetic to the feelings of women, and his "Mother and Child" is so emotionally affecting because it is concerned only with their feelings. The storylines coil and eventually join, but that's just a narrative device. If these characters had no connection, their lives would be equally evocative.
The film is founded on three performances by Annette Bening, Kerry Washington and Naomi Watts. All have rarely been better. Bening plays Karen, a caregiver at work, where she's a physical therapist, and at home, where she cares for her mother (Eileen Ryan). There will be no one to care for her: When she was 14, she gave up a child for adoption, and now she yearns to have that child back. This is not a film about the wisdom of adoption, however, but about Karen's desire for her child.
Kerry Washington plays Lucy, happily married, childless, trying to adopt a child. She finds one she loves, but the baby's birth mother, Ray (Shareeka Epps), is a piece of work. She considers it a seller's market and is fiercely determined that her unborn baby will find a good home with worthy parents. She's more exacting than an adoption agency. Epps is very good, very focused, here.
Naomi Watts is Elizabeth, a lawyer who is concentrated not so much on her career but on her power, and how her sexuality can be a part of that. She goes to work for a Los Angeles law firm and makes it her business to have an affair with Paul, one of the partners (Samuel L. Jackson). She calls the shots, perhaps because she never knew her own parents, and fears a feeling of abandonment.
A quiet, nurturing person at the intersection of these lives is Sister Joanne (Cherry Jones), a nun at a church adoption bureau. She is childless, of course, but content; she accepts her state as part of her service to God and is devoted to her clients. The nun is one of several important supporting characters who give "Mother and Child" richness. In this large cast, the actors are gifted and well-cast down to the smaller roles, and each one is important to the development of the story — not just added for diversion or variety.
These include Sofia (Elpidia Carrillo), Karen's maid, who has a daughter who sometimes comes to work with her, and embodies some of Karen's regrets. Paul has daughters of his own, as does Paco (Jimmy Smits), Karen's friend at work. They have what she doesn't. Lucy's mother (S. Epatha Merkerson) is a nurturing parent, unlike her mother-in-law, who is cruel about the absence of a grandchild.
Garcia, whose credits include "Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her" (2000) and "Nine Lives" (2005), has created an interwoven plot not just for the purpose of being clever. Each facet revolves to illuminate the others. The characters reflect aspects of the central dilemma of the childless mothers. It doesn't argue that all mothers require children, and indeed the nun may be the happiest woman here. It simply argues that these mothers believe that they do.
Of all the performances, Samuel L. Jackson's is the most surprising. It sometimes appears that the busy Jackson will take almost any role to stay working. (Remember "Black Snake Moan"?) This film provides a reminder of his subtlety. He is a powerful, successful man, relatively helpless with a demanding and sexually skilled woman like Elizabeth. They like the sex, there is no love, she does not want to be involved in his personal life, and there is something there that disturbs him.
Bening, Watts and Washington create three distinct beings with three distinct lives. They don't all "share the same problem," but they believe they share the same solution. Garcia embeds their needs in the details of their lives, so we don't emerge with ideas about them, but feelings.
Glenn Kenny tries to provide some calm, reason, and perspective to today's major Oscar nominations.

Analyst Blog
Defense contractor Raytheon Company (RTN - Analyst Report) won a U.S. Navy contract for AGM-154C-1 Joint Standoff Weapons ("JSOW"). The contract, valued at $80.5 million, is for 200 units of Full Rate Production Lot 9 of JSOW.
Raytheon-designed JSOW is a family of low-cost, air-to-ground 1000-lb. glide bomb that can travel as far as 78 miles to hit a target. For this, it employs an integrated Global Positioning System ("GPS")/ /Inertial Navigation System and terminal imaging infrared seeker, directing the weapon to the target. Raytheon expects to complete work on this order by Jul 2015.
Raytheon is one of the best-positioned companies among the large-cap defense players, such as, Northrop Grumman Corp. (NOC - Analyst Report), Lockheed Martin Corporation (LMT - Analyst Report) and General Dynamics Corporation (GD - Analyst Report).
In fact, Raytheon is one of the largest aerospace and defense companies in the U.S., with a diversified line of military products, including missiles, radars, sensors, surveillance and reconnaissance equipment, communication and information systems, naval systems, air traffic control systems, and technical services. Future growth will be driven by its focus on Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance unmanned systems, training, cyber security, Standard Missile-6, Patriot, Zumwalt and Terminal High Altitude Area Defense.
Recently, Raytheon received an international order worth $106 million for its Paveway II smart bombs. Per this direct commercial sale contract, the company will provide Paveway kits for both GBU-12 (500lb) and GBU-58 (250lb) guided bombs.
Of late, domestic contract flows for Raytheon have been low-priced owing to the defense budget austerity in the U.S. We believe the continued cutbacks in the sector will weigh on the company's profitability. However, strong international orders will offer a relief to Raytheon's business.
Raytheon at present carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). Based in Waltham, Mass., Raytheon Company, together with its subsidiaries, provides electronics, mission systems integration, and other capabilities to the U.S. and internationally.

Follow-Up Postings:
Slugs or snails? If you aren't seeing pests in the daytime, go out after dark with a flashlight and look, then you will know which pest you are targeting and what the appropriate product would be. Please don't guess, and spray first, identify later - it's best to know what you are dealing with before buying and applying a product. |

Tech News & Commentary
Intel (NASDAQ:INTC) needs to make an acquisition to speed the growth of its mobile chip business and MediaTek of Taiwan would be the best target, RBC Capital Markets analyst Doug Freedman said in a research report Wednesday.
Intel would create more shareholder value by purchasing mobile market share as opposed to its current strategy of organic growth, Freedman said in his build-vs.-buy analysis.
If Intel can get to 30% market share in mobile chips in seven years, a buy scenario would create $27 billion in shareholder value vs. $13 billion in an organic build scenario, Freedman said.
Intel Vice President Hermann Eul discusses Intel's mobile strategy at the Intel Developer Forum in Shenzhen, China, on April 3, 2014. View Enlarged Image
MediaTek is one of the few viable acquisition candidates based on demonstrated market share success, he said. If Intel bought MediaTek, it would gain about 16% market share in the smartphone and tablet system-on-a-chip (SoC) market, with MediaTek's revenue mainly in smartphones, Freedman said. Intel currently has a 4% market share in mobile chips.
MediaTek doubled its market share in baseband chip revenue between 2007 and 2013, going from 7.3% to 14.4%, he said. Market leader Qualcomm also nearly doubled its market share during that time, going from 33% in 2007 to 62% in 2013.
MediaTek has found success by focusing on lower-end smartphone chipsets.
On a baseband processor unit basis, Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM) is expected to have 40% market share this year, followed by MediaTek with 28%, Spreadtrum Communications with 14% and Intel with 5%.
"Instead of Intel continuing to spend $4 billion-$6 billion a year to enter the market (higher end of spending range as it achieves success), hypothetically, an acquisition of MediaTek may reallocate Intel's best-in-class under-utilized fabs and financial resources to a rising star in the SoC world, solidifying MediaTek's market position," Freedman said.
Success in mobile processors is critical for Intel because it would help the company to deliver better PC, notebook and server processors and maintain its leadership in those markets, Freedman said.

Internet Controlled Mains Switcher - [Link]
by Peter Demchenko @ edn.com:
The purpose of this Design Idea was to improve reliability, add new features, and replace a latching power switch with a momentary one.
The features are:
The switch has foolproof protection against too frequent switching, which can be harmful for many applications.
It can handle significant power because manual control and switching are separated.
If an unexpected power outage occurs, the switch disconnects and remains off after power returns.
A unit can switch itself off.

Latching relay (a.k.a. impulse relay) can be turned on and off by momentarily applying a voltage across the relay coil. The relay would maintain in its last switched state without the need to maintain the coil current. In this post, I will show a simple circuit which can be used to drive such relays. In the video towards the end, I also included more explanations and some demonstrations.
The relay I am using here is a latching RF relay. It is used to switch the input signal between its two outputs. For this particular relay, the input has an APC-7 connector. One side of the output has an N connector and the other side is 50 Ohm terminated. Although this relay is an RF relay, the method I described below is applicable to any latching relays.
Many dedicated ICs (such as MAX4820, MAX4821) can be used for driving such relays. Because of nature of the latching relay, no H-bridge is needed (although you can definitely use an H-bridge, but it would be wasteful).

This project provides some lighting effect by the blinking pattern of the bulbs connected at its output. Up to 8 Bulbs can be connected in between connector CN2 to CN9 and AC power to control them should be connected at Connector CN10. DC Power should be applied at Connector CN11 in accordance with the polarity marked on this connector. Care should be taken while using this it as it contains Main Power on the board.

The Arduino and Cloud-based homebrewing controller by Martin Kennedy of TheBedroomLaboratory:
It's just a basic site, based on this Scotch.io tutorial, which is currently plotting the temperature in my sitting room. It's got a PHP backend (Laravel framework with RESTful API), MySQL database and an AngularJS frontend with (n3-chart/d3 for the graph). In the house, I've whacked together a quick breadboard circuit which comprises of an Arduino clone, a DS18B20 Temperature Sensor (with resistor for the i2c connection) and an ESP8266 module. Every minute, this wireless sensor POSTs the temperature to our REST API. This value is saved in the database and will appear in the graph whenever the page is opened. To hook it up to a fermenter, the sensor would just be placed in a thermowell in the fermenter bucket so we can see the beer temperature over time.

"The accumulating data from randomized clinical trials provide an exciting opportunity to reconsider the potential role of aspirin in cancer prevention," write the authors. They say several important questions remain unanswered, such as the exact magnitude of the overall cancer benefit and which individual cancer sites contribute to this benefit. "However, these new data bring us considerably closer to the time when cancer prevention can be integrated into the clinical guidelines for prophylactic treatment following regulatory review by the FDA and the European Medicines Agency."

I would like to save some seeds from a California Bluebell flower. The plant has these lantern-like structures after the flowers fall off (see pic), and inside each is a bunch of very small white balls, which I can only assume are the seeds. Getting these little guys out is a pain, and they are all very moist. My question is this- should I just pick off each little lantern for saving, or do I need to open them and dry out the little white ones? Can I plant that lantern or do I need to spread the little white ones? Thanks! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Phacelia campanularia. The pods in the picture aren't ripe. If the seeds inside are still white and moist they are clearly not ripe. You need to leave the pods on the plant longer until they are brown, dry and start to open by themselves. The seeds should like this when ripe: |

Thanks a lot! I probably don't really need to save these as they will fall all over anyway, but being new to saving, I am getting geeked on it. |

Norwood, MA (08/20/2013) - Analog Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, today announced financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2013, which ended August 3, 2013.
"ADI delivered solid results for the third quarter. Compared to the prior quarter, revenue increased by 2% and our operating model produced excellent leverage, driving diluted EPS growth of 10%, excluding special items," said Vincent Roche, President and CEO. "Profitability and cash flow were very strong, and we returned $105 million to our shareholders through cash dividends."
By end market, industrial applications totaled 47% of revenue, communications infrastructure was 21% of revenue, and automotive and consumer applications were 18% and 15% of revenue, respectively.
"Order rates improved across all of our end markets during the third quarter, and we saw the strongest sequential revenue growth from products used in communications infrastructure applications. It appears that customer order rates were in-line with consumption, keeping inventories low," continued Mr. Roche.
"There are signs that a gradual recovery in the macroeconomic environment is underway and we are in a strong position to benefit from the return of capital investments in communications and industrial infrastructure programs. As a result our outlook for the fourth quarter is for our sales to grow in the range of $675 million to $700 million, up from $674 million in the third quarter," said Mr. Roche.
ADI also announced that its Board of Directors has declared a cash dividend of $0.34 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on September 11, 2013 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on August 30, 2013.
Please refer to the schedules provided for a summary of revenue and earnings, selected balance sheet information, and the cash flow statement for the third quarter of fiscal year 2013, as well as the immediately prior and year-ago quarters. Additional information on revenue by end market and revenue by product type is provided on Schedules D and E. A more complete table covering prior periods is available at investor.analog.com.
Outlook for the Fourth Quarter of Fiscal 2013
The following statements are based on current expectations. These statements are forward- looking and actual results may differ materially, as a result of, among other things, the important factors discussed at the end of this release. These statements supersede all prior statements regarding our business outlook set forth in prior ADI news releases, and ADI disclaims any obligation to update these forward-looking statements.
Conference Call Scheduled for 5:00 pm ET
ADI will host a conference call to discuss the third quarter results and short-term outlook today, beginning at 5:00 pm ET. Investors may join via webcast, accessible at investor.analog.com, or by telephone (call 706-634-7193 ten minutes before the call begins and provide the password "ADI.").
A replay will be available two hours after the completion of the call. The replay may be accessed for up to two weeks by dialing 855-859-2056 (replay only) and providing the conference ID: 18639688, or by visiting investor.analog.com.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
This release includes non-GAAP financial measures that are not in accordance with, nor an alternative to, generally accepted accounting principles and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles.
Schedule F of this press release provides the reconciliation of the Company's non-GAAP measures to its GAAP measures.
Manner in Which Management Uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management uses non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP other expense, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share to evaluate the Company's operating performance from continuing operations against past periods and to budget and allocate resources in future periods. These non-GAAP measures also assist management in understanding and evaluating the Company's operating results and trends in the Company's business.
Economic Substance Behind Management's Decision to Use Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The items excluded from the non-GAAP measures were excluded because they are of a non-recurring or non-cash nature.
The following items are excluded from our non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margin, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share:
Restructuring-Related Expenses. These expenses are incurred in connection with facility closures, consolidation of manufacturing facilities, and other cost reduction efforts. Apart from ongoing expense savings as a result of such items, these expenses and the related tax effects have no direct correlation to the operation of our business in the future.
Stock-based Compensation Expense. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, following the death of the Company's CEO, the Company recorded $6.3 million of stock-based compensation expense due to the accelerated vesting of restricted stock units in accordance with the terms of his restricted stock unit agreement. This stock-based compensation expense and the related tax effect have no direct correlation to the operation of our business in the future.
The following item is excluded from our non-GAAP other expense and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share:
Debt Extinguishment Costs: In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company redeemed its outstanding 5.0% senior unsecured notes due July 1, 2014. The Company recognized a net loss on debt extinguishment of approximately $10.2 million, which was comprised of a make-whole premium, the recognition of unamortized proceeds received on an interest rate swap associated with the debt and the write off of unamortized debt issuance and discount costs. We excluded these costs from our non-GAAP measures because they are one time in nature and have no direct correlation to the operation of our business in the future.
Tax-Related Items. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a one-time $3.4 million tax benefit related to the release of a tax reserve for an expired tax year. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a $6.6 million tax benefit as a result of the reversal of prior period tax liabilities. In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company recorded a one-time $1.7 million tax benefit related to the release of a tax reserve for an expired tax year. We excluded these tax-related items from our non-GAAP measures because they are not associated with the tax expense on our current operating results.
Why Management Believes the Non-GAAP Financial Measures Provide Useful Information to Investors
Management believes that the presentation of non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP other expense, and non-GAAP diluted EPS is useful to investors because it provides investors with the operating results that management uses to manage the Company.
Material Limitations Associated with Use of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Analog Devices believes that non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP other expense, and non-GAAP diluted EPS have material limitations in that they do not reflect all of the amounts associated with our results of operations as determined in accordance with GAAP and that these measures should only be used to evaluate our results of operations in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures. In addition, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to the non-GAAP measures reported by other companies. The Company's use of non-GAAP measures, and the underlying methodology when excluding certain items, is not necessarily an indication of the results of operations that may be expected in the future, or that the Company will not, in fact, record such items in future periods.
Management's Compensation for Limitations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management compensates for these material limitations in non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP operating income, non-GAAP operating margins, non-GAAP other expense, and non-GAAP diluted EPS by also evaluating our GAAP results and the reconciliations of our non-GAAP measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures. Investors should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures.
Innovation, performance, and excellence are the cultural pillars on which Analog Devices has built one of the longest standing, highest growth companies within the technology sector. Acknowledged industry-wide as the world leader in data conversion and signal conditioning technology, Analog Devices serves over 60,000 customers, representing virtually all types of electronic equipment. Analog Devices is headquartered in Norwood, Massachusetts, with design and manufacturing facilities throughout the world. Analog Devices is included in the S&P 500 Index.
This release may be deemed to contain forward-looking statements intended to qualify for the safe harbor from liability established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, among other things, our statements regarding expected revenue, earnings per share, operating expenses, gross margin, tax rate, and other financial results, expected production and inventory levels, expected market trends, and expected customer demand and order rates for our products, that are based on our current expectations, beliefs, assumptions, estimates, forecasts, and projections about our business and the industry and markets in which Analog Devices operates. The statements contained in this release are not guarantees of future performance, are inherently uncertain, involve certain risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict, and do not give effect to the potential impact of any mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or business combinations that may be announced or closed after the date hereof. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed in such forward-looking statements, and such statements should not be relied upon as representing Analog Devices' expectations or beliefs as of any date subsequent to the date of this press release. We do not undertake any obligation to update forward-looking statements made by us. Important factors that may affect future operating results include: sovereign debt issues globally, any faltering in global economic conditions or the stability of credit and financial markets, erosion of consumer confidence and declines in customer spending, unavailability of raw materials, services, supplies or manufacturing capacity, changes in geographic, product or customer mix, adverse results in litigation matters, and other risk factors described in our most recent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Our results of operations for the periods presented in this release are not necessarily indicative of our operating results for any future periods. Any projections in this release are based on limited information currently available to Analog Devices, which is subject to change. Although any such projections and the factors influencing them will likely change, we will not necessarily update the information, as we will only provide guidance at certain points during the year. Such information speaks only as of the original issuance date of this release.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL) today announced that the company has earned recognition from the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, California, for its efforts to ensure compliance with standards that call for vessels to slow down within 40 nautical miles (nm) of the shore. The Port of Long Beach introduced the Green Flag Program and Port of Los Angeles the Vessel Speed Reduction Program. The programs urge vessel operators to slow down to 12 knots or less within a certain range of the ports to reduce emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxide (NOx), and sulfur oxide (SOx) in coastal areas to conserve coastal environment, and offer annual rewards to vessel operators that achieve extraordinary compliance percentages. Every year, a total of 250 MOL Group-operated vessels including containerships calling at MOL's TRAPAC container terminal, as well as car carriers, tankers and bulkers, navigate through the area covered by the speed standards. mol.co.jp

Have Pierce the Veil make an Acoustic Album
They don't even have to have new material, just take songs that are already out there that we LOVE and make them acoustic. I think that It'd be great. And our parents may be more likely to let us play it in the car. We all know Vic's voice is simply beautiful. Even a CD that has 5-7 of their top songs - just acoustically. Who wouldn't want that? seriously. And the other band members could be included in anyway possible. this isn't all about Vic, it's about Pierce the veil. so who's with me?

Become involved as a Precinct Delegate.
The Republican Party is about to implode if it loses this election. A dead mouse could beat Obama and yet Romney is stumbling nearly every day. Was it planned this way to discredit the "conservative" Republicans and smooth the way for the Establishment to gain uncontested control of the political process in the U.S.?
It took me thirty years as a Libertarian to wake up and realize that there isn't going to be a Libertarian third party in the United States influential enough to effect elections or to get anyone in federal office. Today it seems to me that the best offense is to co-opt the Republican Party. The only way to do that is to overwhelm the Republican state organizations with libertarian Precinct Delegates. The job is done in many states already dominated by Ron Paul people.
Most importantly, become a Precinct Delegate. Find out who the Ron Paul people are in your county organization and if your precinct has a Ron Paul person in place. They welcome allies. Find out if it is necessary to live in a precinct to represent it and go from there.
Something else that can be done is to get in contact with the Republican Party. There are schedules of meetings and other functions to attend. In the Q&A sessions ask pointed questions about why the elected officials haven't eliminated agencies or programs and be prepared to back up why your questions are relevant to the "Republican" message of smaller government. Ask why the budget is still bloated and why it hasn't been reduced? Find out what the Republicans have been doing to bring your state smaller government. Hold their feet to the fire and make 'em squirm.
Of course the same same strategy can be used with the Democrats. There are many of them that agree with us in many ways.
It only takes one to KEEP AMERICANS FREE. Know your duties & rights as a juror. Stop the unconstitutional conviction of innocents in federal custody. The Fully Informed Jury CALL 1-800-TEL-JURY www.fija.org IMMEDIATELY if not sooner. It's that important.
