Royals Uniform History: 21
On Thursday, June 14, the Royals host Milwaukee and it is "Frenchy Quarter Thursday" in honor of #21, Jeff Francoeur. You can reserve your seat in right field for $21. The ticket includes a Frenchy Quarter T-shirt and Mardi Gras beads (blue, of course). For more information, visit
Frenchy has worn 21 since joining KC last year. Let's look back at the history of #21 with the Royals:
Catcher Buck Martinez (left) made his Major League debut on June 18, 1969, becoming the first Royal to wear 21. Buck would wear number 6 from 1970-71 and 42 in 1973 before returning to 21 from 1974-77. That left 21 available for former Kansas City A's pitcher Aurelio Monteagudo (1970) and manager Bob Lemon (1972).
Martinez and Mark Littell were traded to St. Louis for Al Hrabosky in 1977. That left the number open for Art Kusnyer (1978), Eduardo Rodriguez (1979) and Jeff Twitty (1980).
Kansas City hired Dick Howser as manager for the 1981 season. Number 10, now retired in honor of Howser, belonged to Clint Hurdle at that time. Howser wore 21 in 1981, then moved to 10 when Hurdle was traded after the season.
The 21 jersey passed from Keith Creel (1982-83, at right) to a short stint with Bucky Dent (1984). Outfielder Lonnie Smith (left) wore 21 as he helped the Royals win the '85 series. Smith departed after the 1987 season.
The next February, KC traded for a 25-year old relief pitcher who had worn '40' in his lone Major League season. That number belonged to Bud Black at the time, so the righty assumed Smith's old number, which Jeff Montgomery would keep for 12 seasons as he recorded a team-record 304 saves.
The new century would see coach Tom Gamboa (2001-03) don 21 along with pitchers D.J. Carrasco (2004-05) and Mark Redman (2006).
In 2007, a 21-year old wore 21. His name? Billy Butler. The professional hitter switched to 16 once it became available, paving the way for Miguel Olivo (2008-09) and now, Frenchy!
In summary, 21 has been worn by a Hall of Famer (Lemon), two Royals Hall of Famers (Howser and Montgomery), two Royals All-Stars (Montgomery and Redman) and two current Royals (Francoeur and Butler).

Garden Island grows on you
Hike in downpour tests the mettle of newlyweds
Red mud caked my wife's once-white-and-fluorescent-pink Nike running shoes; dark clouds threatened more rain and a slippery return hike, but we continued down the trail. We were hiking at Kauai's Hanakapiai beach, nearly two miles from the trailhead, but only halfway to the waterfall that was our destination.
In one of the island's torrential downpours — much like one we had seen the day before — getting back to our rented Corolla would be a miles-long mud run. The hike was already a far cry from the rest of our honeymoon, which consisted mostly of fancy dinners and sipping overpriced mai tais with an ocean view.
The car we rented five days earlier was a steal despite its quirks, which included an engine that sounded like it was constantly threatening to sling a piece of itself through the dash. When you're 241/2 years old, rental car agencies don't care how soon you'll be 25 or how responsible you claim to be. The young driver fee would be about double the price per day of just renting a car. But not at our little rent-a-wreck stop a couple of miles from Lihue Airport.
The rental car representative, who smelled like a mixture of beer and cheap wine, even picked us up for free the night we arrived. He needed to get off Kauai, he said, because there just aren't enough women. Plenty of chickens, but not women. That was fine with me. It was my honeymoon, and the only woman I wanted around was in the back seat imagining how the rural road would look in the daylight.
We paid cash for the dirty, white Corolla with its peeling tint job; our hope was that it would get us to our hotel a half-hour south of the airport, and that we wouldn't need to call the rental agency for roadside assistance later on.
Alyssa and I were soon pulling into the extravagant Grand Hyatt Kauai, cruising loudly into the grandiose valet check-in. In the lobby hung a massive, sparkling chandelier. The hall opened up into a courtyard, complete with a cafe serving $4 black coffee — and ocean views. Two levels of pools and a water slide wound alongside hundreds of beach chairs. Several bars around the pool area served average-tasting $14 cocktails.
We went to a luau the next day, with all of the necessary hula dancing, shell necklaces and twirling of flaming sticks. The mai tais were included in the price, and the female guests with botoxed lips were getting their money's worth. The emcee explained the difference between Kalua barbecue — the juicy smoked pig that filled two of my plates — and the Kahlua that goes in a White Russian.
The days were long, slow and warm, filled with reading, snorkeling and attempting in vain to get a tan while wearing SPF 30 sunscreen.
On day three, we headed along Kauai's south coast to Hanapepe, to take a boat ride around half the island to the Na Pali Coast. The water was still churning from high winds the day before, but we jumped in at the snorkeling spot to chase after schools of brightly colored fish and search for turtles. The sea reptiles were keeping their distance from the area crowded with pale tourists who were staring at the sea floor and bumping into one another.
Back on the boat, we saw a trio of humpback whales, including a calf, spouting a few hundred yards away. They dove out of sight, as our boat captain explained where we got the term "high tailing." We saw about 10 more whales, including a couple of calves learning how to breach.

Proud Conservative? You Should Be Ashamed! (Video)
AATP / May 4, 2013
If theres one thing that so-called conservatives are good at (besides lying, cheating, stealing, killing, racism, bigotry, misogyny, ignorance and destroying nature), its language. And I dont mean speaking it, or writing it because weve all seen the signs. I mean that theyre masters at Orwellian double-speak, and making positive words negative, and vice-versa. They frequently muddy the waters in this way, playing on peoples general stupidity and ignorance of history. Its how they manage to claim Abraham Lincoln (a progressive) as their own, whilst simultaneously calling the democrats of today the party of the KKKthough the ideological switch of the parties and the exodus of racist democrats to the GOP all occurred as a result of the Civil Rights Act (which conservatives opposed) and thanks to the Southern Strategy has been this way ever since.Super Progressive Thom Hartmann explains what conservatives are, and what theyve done,
Watch this amazing video, and share with anyone who thinks that being a conservative is something to be proud of! http://youtu.be/8TxP78IScIo
They say that conservative means someone who embraces traditional values, limited government, moderate change, and fiscal restraint. But those are just weasel words, the velvet glove over the brutal fist of an autocratic, authoritarian, and oligarchic form of governance. Heres the reality of what Conservatives have ACTUALLY done to this nation in its 230-year plus history.
First off, it was Conservatives who opposed the American Revolution, and many of them joined the British in fighting against George Washingtons army. Then, conservatives, at the birth of our nation, pushed to restrict voting rights at the federal level to only white men who owned property although progressives like Thomas Jefferson and James Madison blocked those efforts so conservatives at the state level picked up that cause.
It was Conservatives who wanted to keep the traditional American value of slavery and fought progressive Abraham Lincoln so fiercely it led to an incredibly bloody and horrific Civil War. In the aftermath of the Civil War Conservatives supported Jim Crow laws to keep freed slaves as second-class citizens.

text: By David LottUNL Extension Educator Bird watching during the winter has become a major spectator sport for people of all ages and abilities. Long winters here create an opportunity to provide food and water to songbirds that might be in scarce supply. Retail centers, garden centers, and hardware stores provide a variety of bird feeders, bird food supplies, and water heaters for consumers to consider and purchase for their yards in the hope of attracting songbirds to eat and drink outside of their windows. In return, feeding birds can provide hours of enjoyment and interest. A wide variety of magazines and Extension publications from across the United States are available for feeding birds. While reading and enjoying this material, the key is to consider recommendations that match the local climate and birds that are in the area for the winter. Here are some basic items to consider when planning for and feeding songbirds for the winter. • Which songbirds are in the area for the winter? Try keeping a list of the songbirds that are noticed. This will help indicate which type of feed to purchase and where to place the feeder. • Where do these birds potentially reside in your yard, neighborhood, or area? Place feeders and water supplies where the birds will find them. Location of feeders depends on the specific bird. Generally, a location in close proximity to trees, branches, shrubs, or other potential perching locations is helpful. • Select a feeder that is well suited for the birds that arrive in the yard. There is a wide variety to choose from locally or through online shopping. Selecting the best suited feeder will help increase the chances of birds actually eating out of the feeder. • Choose feed for the birds that you know are in the area for winter. Feed may also be chosen and correctly placed to try to attract birds of specific interest that may not readily visit the yard, but could if food was available. Feed will vary in content, and which birds it will attract. Doing the homework ahead could save money on wasted or uneaten feed. • What about the squirrels? They seem to find ways to get into feeders, and scare away desired birds when they eat. If squirrels are a problem, consider setting up a separate feeder in the yard for the squirrels to eat out of. Feeders using ears of corn are very popular. Choosing bird feeders that make it difficult for squirrels to feed in may be an option as well. Providing a consistent source of thawed water will help attract birds as well. Water heaters can be purchased to place in birdbaths or other containers to help keep the water supply thawed and available for the birds to drink out of. Use water containers that will withstand the winter cold, and are the correct volume for the heater's ability to thaw the water. Please read and follow all water heater instructions when using them outside. Provide a consistent source of electricity for the heaters so they can continue to heat and keep the water thawed. The extension office has a wide variety of publications on feeding songbirds. These publications contain specific material for specific bird species on feeder type, preferred feed, and where to place the feeder for maximum use. If you have any questions about feeding songbirds in the winter, please contact me by sending an e-mail message to

A man accused of throwing a chair during a brawl at a Detroit Pistons game last month appeared in court Tuesday in Rochester Hills for a brief hearing.
Bryant Jackson is the only person facing a felony charge in the brawl between Pistons fans and Indiana Pacers players.
Monday, a judge scheduled a preliminary examination as well as a separate identity hearing for Jackson on January 25. The judge told the Flint-area man that he'll need a separate lawyer to represent him for the identity hearing.
Police say defense lawyer Kenneth Karasick identified his client as the chair-thrower, which could make him a witness and possibly force him off the case.

Exfoliation is a necessary step in any healthy skin care regimen. Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators are intended to complement any regimen from Jan Marini. Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators help to dissolve the dead skin which can cause the complexion to look dull and uneven. Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators can also help to clear pores, clarify problem skin and improve the look of discoloration. Regular use of Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators will help to create a clean slate and allow the active ingredients in other Jan Marini products to work better.
By eliminating the barrier of dead skin cells, products can penetrate deep within the layers of live cells. Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators are not intended to replace daily cleansing but are instead indicated as supplemental purification when cleansing is not enough to remove all of the cells that the skin turns over regularly. Healthy skin starts with a clean base and that is why Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators can help promote radiance.
All skin is in need of regular exfoliation. Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators are beneficial for all skin types as they rid the complexion of dead cells while minimizing the irritation that is associated with common chemical exfoliants and scrubs.
Jan Marini Skin Zyme uses enzymes that lift dead skin cells away without affecting the health of live cells. This means that it can be used by even sensitive skin that ordinarily cannot tolerate strong exfoliators. Jan Marini Intensifiers/Accelerators instantly smooth the skin's surface to make it look brighter and more even. Continued use can soften fine lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of acne scars and discoloration and keep acneic skin clear and free of blemishes. Jan Marini Skin Zyme is a very effective tool at treating skin that has been damaged by the sun. Jan Marini Skin Zyme can be safely used by all skin types including the most fragile.
Jan Marini Clean Zyme should be used in conjunction with Jan Marini Skin Zyme. Jan Marini Clean Zyme should be used as a cleanser in order to prepare the skin for exfoliation. After using the Jan Marini Skin Zyme, Jan Marini Clean Zyme can then be applied again in order to remove the exfoliator. The two products work well together to provide a complete effective exfoliation. This system can be used up to four times a week depending on need. Some skin types benefit from frequent exfoliations while other do best with exfoliating just once a week.

Need Immediate DDoS Mitigation Support? A Verisign DDoS expert will contact you shortly
or Call +1‑703‑948‑4299
With the reliability and scale of Verisign domains, you can provide your customers with a complete Web services package.
When you become a registrar, you establish a steady, renewable revenue stream for your business and provide your customers with a more complete Web services package. To register domain names in these TLDs, you must become a domain name registrar with Verisign.
Different TLDs have different requirements and processes. Most businesses start with .com and .net certification and then add more TLDs.
Different TLDs supported by Verisign have different requirements and processes. Most businesses start with .com and .net certification, and then add more TLDs.
|.com, .net, .name, .tv, .cc Registrar
Become a Registrar
|Get started
ICANN Accreditation
|Required (.com, .net, .name) None (.tv, .cc)
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the international governing body that has the responsibility of managing the Domain Name System (DNS), controlling the root domain and assigning control of each general TLD (gTLD) to a domain name registry. ICANN maintains registry agreements with Verisign for the operation of .com, .net and .name (ICANN Archived Registry Agreements). Businesses must be accredited by ICANN before beginning the certification process with Verisign. Verisign has no control over how long the ICANN accreditation process may take. ccTLDs such as .tv and .cc do not require ICANN accreditation.
Employ Media Authentication
The .jobs TLD is managed by Employ Media. To become a .jobs registrar, you will need to execute a Registry-Registrar Agreement with Employ Media located on their site: Become a Registrar
Before establishing an account, Verisign requires each business to be authenticated. Authentication means providing proof of your business and your authority to represent and act on behalf of your company. When Verisign receives notification from ICANN that your business has been accredited, we will ask ACP, a Verisign vendor, to contact you and request documents for authentication. For .tv and .cc, ACP authentication is triggered when you submit your account information. If you have been authenticated by Verisign for a TLD before, you may not need authentication to add another TLD.
Establish an Account (legal agreements and data forms)
Each TLD has its own set of required documents including Registry-Registrar agreements and a Registrar Data Information Form. Complete the required forms and return them to Verisign. When approved, Verisign will send you a username and password.
Financial Requirements (credit account and payment security)
Registrars pay a set fee to Verisign for each domain name registered. Verisign requires registrars to complete a credit application and establish a payment security based on expected monthly registrations. Existing registrars may use their existing payment security to support additional TLD transactions. If you expect a considerable increase in your monthly transaction volume, you should re-evaluate the amount of your payment security and adjust it accordingly.
Technical Readiness (EPP integration and testing)
Registrars must demonstrate full and correct operation of client systems within the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) environment before connecting to the Shared Registration System (SRS). Registrar software and system requirements depend on each company's expertise, business model and registration volume. Verisign offers Software Development Kits (SDKs) and implementation guides to assist registrars. Our global support desk is available 24/7 with assistance in 150 different languages.
Internationalised Domain Names
Enable Internet users to navigate and communicate online in their preferred script or language, transforming the Internet into a truly global and multilingual tool. By adding IDNs to your .com, .net, .tv, .name and .cc domain name options, registrars have the opportunity to expand services and potentially increase revenues.
Learn features and benefits of the domain names powered by Verisign.
Enable customers to reach target audiences in their native scripts and languages.
Verisign has established a referral process to help companies interested in offering domain name registrations without becoming a certified registrar. To become a domain name reseller, complete the application form.
Domain names are registered for a period of 1 to 10 years by an individual or an organisation. A user contacts a registrar or reseller to register a domain name. The registrar verifies that the domain name is available by checking with the registry that manages the corresponding TLD. If it is available, the registrar registers the domain name with the registry, which adds it to the registry database. At the end of the registration period, the domain name registrant has the option to renew the domain name or let it expire.
Verisign makes it easy for companies to register domain names for their clients. The Verisign DNS has maintained operational accuracy and stability 100% of the time for more than 15 years. As the authoritative directory provider for .com, .net, .name, .tv and .cc, Verisign's network routes more than 100 million domain names and billions of queries daily without fail. Billions of consumers and businesses worldwide rely on Verisign for commerce and communications and Verisign has committed to continually invest, improve and expand the Internet infrastructure to meet the growing demand.
To learn more about industry trends, see the Domain Name Industry Brief or learn more about Verisign's registrar products.
Registrars process name registrations for domain name registrants and then send the necessary domain name system (DNS) information to a registry for entry into the centralised registry database. The registrar database contains customer information in addition to the DNS information contained in the registry database. The customers of the Verisign registry are registrars who have executed the appropriate Registrar-Registry and Name Store Agreements for the domains managed by Verisign and who have been accredited by ICANN.
Verisign requires registrars to complete a credit application and establish a payment security based on expected monthly registration volume. The payment security is held without action unless invoices are not paid in accordance with the terms of Registry-Registrar Agreements.
Registrars must demonstrate full and correct operation of their systems within the Operational Test and Evaluation (OT&E) environment before connecting to the Shared Registration System (SRS). Registrar software and system requirements depend on each company's expertise, business model and registration volume. A low-volume registrar may require modest infrastructure investment; a high-volume operation may require a significant investment in people, software, hardware and network services. Verisign offers Software Development Kits (SDKs) and implementation guides to assist registrars. Our global support desk is available 24/7 with assistance in 150 different languages.
The .tv and .cc registries are ccTLDs and do not require ICANN accreditation for registrars. Verisign requires registrars to complete account information, meet financial requirements and demonstrate technical readiness to become a .tv or .cc registrar. The .name and .jobs registries are gTLDs and do require separate ICANN accreditation as well as Verisign certification to become a .name registrar or become a .jobs registrar.
The Shared Registration System (SRS) was created in 1999 to help stabilise the Internet and protect consumers. SRS is a system of associated hardware and software developed by Verisign that permits multiple registrars to provide Internet domain name registration services within the top-level domains (TLDs) administered by Verisign. The SRS includes the following subsystems: a database server subsystem; a registration subsystem ensuring non-discriminatory access to the registry by all registrars; an invoicing subsystem; a systems development and testing subsystem; a TLD zone file generation subsystem; and a Whois subsystem. The SRS is consistent with, and supportive of, the provisions of the Statement of Policy on Domain Name System administration, Management of Internet Names and Addresses, 63 Fed Reg. 31741 (1998) (the "White Paper"), as well as the Cooperative Agreement NCR-92-18742 between the U.S. government and Verisign.

Manchester man set to run Boston Marathon to help vets
MANCHESTER - For Derek St. Cyr, post traumatic stress disorder was the unnamed shadow that haunted his father and their family.
That shadow will follow St. Cyr as he runs in this year's Boston Marathon to raise money to benefit the Run to Home Base Program, which provides clinical and therapy services to combat veterans suffering from brain injury or PTSD.
His dad, Leo, served in the Army during the Korean and Vietnam wars and came home with a condition that at the time had no diagnosis. Instead of therapy, Leo "self-medicated" and turned to the bottle, St. Cyr said.
"He became an alcoholic and was emotionally and physically abusive," St. Cyr said.
He said he did not serve in the Armed Forces, primarily because his father did not want the same fate for his son. The memory of his father, who died five years ago, gives St. Cyr, 39, the motivation to raise money for veterans suffering with PTSD, he said.
"I've seen the ugly head it can rear," he said. "It's something I can do as a tribute to my dad because I want (today's soldiers) to have the help he never did."
St. Cyr is hosting an event at 6 p.m. Saturday at Jillian's Restaurant in Manchester with the goal of raising at least $3,000. He has local celebrities, including WMUR's Sean McDonald and musician Chad LaMarsh, serving as "beertenders" who will donate their tips to the cause.
"We're looking forward to it and we wish him great success," said Wendy Fisher, manager at Jillian's.
The event has a $10 entry fee and features several raffle items. All proceeds from door fees, raffle entries and tips to the celebrity bartenders will be donated to the Run to Home Base Program, which is run by the Boston Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital.
The raffle items include a golf package donated by Holloway Motors and tickets donated by the Manchester Monarchs and New Hampshire Fisher Cats.
But other items include sports memorabilia and tickets to Celtics, Red Sox and Bruins games, all of them donated out of St. Cyr's pocket, he said.
"Every dollar is so critical for these veterans," he said. "There's no such thing as having enough money for this."
St. Cyr said he has completed six marathons. His fastest time was 4 hours, 30 minutes, but he said his goal for the Boston Marathon, which will be run April 15, is to finish in under 4 hours.

Good day all. I operate a single server ZCS installation for my company. About a day ago, generating printable versions of email messages has become quite slow. Checking the trace logs, I found that the amount of time it takes has gone from 1-3 seconds up to 25-30 seconds. I have not see, nor has anyone reported any other issues recently. I also do not see anything that jumps out at me in the logs, there doesn't seem to be anything amiss on the server itself and zmstat-charts as well as our own internal health monitoring don't show anything out of the ordinary on the server over the past couple of days.
Typically, I'd classify this as not a big deal, but it seems one of our departments prints a lot of email out for record keeping purposes and this issue is severely hampering their workflow. Can anyone point me in the right direction for tracking this issue down? Normally I'd just restart Zimbra, but since this is a single server install, that's the absolute last resort as many people use this server 24/7 and tend to get upset when things are unavailable.

My bosses gave me a very simple task, "Solve the confusion surrounding some of the questions our customers have around cloud computing and service management."
I told them I'd have it done before lunch.
And if you believe that, you have way too much faith in my marketing abilities (hi, mom!).
In all seriousness, you have questions about cloud computing. Lots of questions.
Cloud is everywhere and there's a lot of information that our customers are having to sift and sort through.
Which is why back in May, I assembled a group of sales leads, marketing peers, development executives...literaly a "who's who" of cloud computing at IBM and asked them this:
What are the questions our customers have around cloud?
That started a series of conversations that led us to several core questions, and we got to work.
We enlisted some of our top people working on cloud and we asked them to get in front of a video camera and talk directly to you about these questions.
The result is a video series we call, "Cloud Enabling Your Data Center."
Today, we are releasing the first video: "Achieving Greater Efficiencies With Virtualization And Cloud Computing (Service Management Across The Entire Infrastructure)"
This video features two of our top sales executives; Bowman Hall and Barbara Korte. Barbara is a sales executive for Integrated Service Management and you might remember Bowman Hall from the Cloud demo during the Pulse General Session.
As I said, this is the first of the video series. Future videos will be released in the next few weeks.
- YouTube Playlist: Get Cloud Ready
- Blog Tag: get-cloud-ready
- Twitter Hash Tag: #getcloudready
We also have a short URL that goes to a landing page we've put togther with additional cloud materials and (most importantly) a full list of Pulse Comes To You and Impact Comes To You events that are happening in your area.
- Short URL: ibm.co/getcloudready
Even if you went to Pulse or Impact in Las Vegas this past year, these local events are great opportunities to deep-dive into a topic like cloud computing as well as meet your peers and local subject matter experts.
More to come and please feel free to comment below about your thoughts on Cloud.
And, as always - for more information contact your IBM sales rep or one of our Business Partners using the Business Partner Locator website.
PS also this week, we announced a new version of IBM Tivoli Service Automation Manager (Announcement Letter 211-256). The new release allows IT service providers to onboard multiple customers, deploy IT services very quickly across multiple platforms and hypervisors, maximize resource utilization and drive cloud operations effectiveness and efficiency by adding storage support and expanding on network integration.

Agricultural equipment consists of farm field and farmstead machinery used for the production of crops and agricultural livestock. Major product lines include wheel and track-laying agricultural tractors, planting and fertilizing machinery, tillage equipment, fertilizer and chemical application equipment, harvesting machinery, haying and mowing machinery, milking machines and other farm dairy equipment, poultry equipment, barnyard equipment, sprayers and irrigation equipment, grain dryers and blowers, commercial turf and grounds care equipment, and parts for farm machinery.
Because of the rugged construction and long service life of many farm machines, replacement parts represent a significant industry segment. Tractor mowers and some irrigation equipment used as commercial turf and grounds care equipment are also included in this industry definition. The industry is classified as farm machinery under NAICS Code 333111.
Industry Overview and Global Competitiveness
Some 1,000 companies manufacture agricultural equipment in the United States, according to the U.S. Bureau of the Census, employing nearly 53,000 workers in 2006 (latest data available). U.S. manufacturers of agricultural equipment reported sales worth $19.8 billion in 2006, the last year for which complete data is available, according to the Census Annual Survey of Manufacturers.
Over the last 20 years, worldwide consolidation has concentrated manufacturing and sales of high-value added, self-propelled farm field equipment in three major U.S.-based firms and one smaller European competitor. These full-line manufacturers are Deere & Company, CNH Global, and AGCO. A German firm, Claas KG, is also major global manufacturer of farm field equipment, with strong positions in the U.S., European and other international markets. These firms lead the agricultural equipment industry around the world because of the high value and relatively long production runs of their premier product lines, as well as the extensive service that they provide to large-scale commercial farmers who buy this equipment.
Other leading categories of agricultural equipment include irrigation technology, commercial mowers, and farm dairy equipment. John Deere and the Toro Company are leading U.S. manufacturers of commercial turf, grounds care, and irrigation equipment. Other leading U.S. irrigation equipment manufacturers include Valmont Industries, the Lindsay Corporation, and the Rain Bird Corporation. Bou-Matic and BECO Dairy Automation are the principal U.S. manufacturers of automated milking parlors and related systems and equipment.
Farm income is the leading influence on sales of agricultural equipment, domestically and around the world. The revenue that farmers receive from selling the commodity crops they grow (especially corn, wheat, soybeans, and cotton) is the principal component of farm income. Beginning in 2000, commodity prices rose steadily from low levels, topping out at historic highs in the spring and summer of 2008, before dropping significantly by the end of the year (January 30, 2009 release of Agricultural Prices by the U.S. Department of Agriculture).
Though still well above their 2000 levels, sharply lower commodity prices will definitely have negative consequences for U.S. manufacturers and exporters of agricultural equipment in 2009 and beyond. The blow may be softened to the extent that many farmers in the United States and other developed countries are likely to have cash on hand and relatively low debt, after eight years of strong income growth. Domestic and international sales will also be affected adversely to the extent that many manufacturers will find it increasingly difficult to obtain working capital or offer supplier credit to their dealers and customers.
Global Competitiveness
The United States exported $9.8 billion of agricultural equipment in 2008. Most U.S. agricultural equipment is exported to other industrialized market economies, where agriculture is highly capital intensive, reliant on sophisticated technology and integrated into the global economy. In recent years, Canada, Mexico, the European Union, and developed economies in the Pacific Basin (especially Australia and Japan) have accounted for 70-75 percent of U.S. exports. Since 2003, Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan have grown dramatically as markets, accounting for more than 12 percent of U.S. exports in 2008.
The United States is generally a net exporter of agricultural equipment. In 2008, total U.S. imports were worth $7.3 billion, resulting in a surplus of $2.5 billion. Since the 1990s, the United States has consistently exported 25 to 30 percent of its output of agricultural equipment. In 2006, exports rose to 34 percent of manufacturers shipments and may have gone even higher in 2007 and 2008.
While North America, the European Union and other OECD markets account for the majority of U.S. exports, most of these markets are fairly mature. For about five years, until the fall of 2008, dynamic market growth was most conspicuous in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstancountries that were engaged in long-term modernization of their large and historically under-capitalized agricultural economies. A number of new member states of the European Union also offered strong, long-term growth potential, due to their growing access to markets and capital, as well as the need to modernize production. China and India, the worlds two largest agricultural economieseach with low levels of mechanizationrepresent significant long-term prospects, although each pose major commercial challenges, as well.
Domestic Competitiveness
The agricultural equipment industry is composed of many niches. Rarely do more than three or four companies occupy a niche, although there are some important exceptions. Deere, CNH and AGCO can be said to occupy one of those niches--for "full-line" manufacturers of equipment for growing and harvesting grain, cotton, and sugarcane. Some of their product lines compete with those of "short-line" manufacturers; examples include sprayers, grain carts, and implements for heavy tillage. These three companies, however, are the only global full-line manufacturers. Their products' high cost and relatively long production runs mean that they account for a significant share of domestic production. From a trade standpoint, their products constitute a large share of international commerce in agricultural equipment.
Overall, U.S. agricultural equipment is very competitive in the domestic market, although the scope and intensity of this competition varies significantly among the industrys many niches. The scale and diversity of the U.S. agricultural economy provide a strong base for those that wish to do business internationally, as well as for many that are satisfied with the domestic market. Across a wide range of specialized sub-sectors, U.S. manufacturers are almost invariably among the leaders in their fields.
Some segments of the market can be very crowded, however, making the competition all the more intense. The market for low-to-medium horse-power agricultural tractors--up to approximately 275 HPis especially competitive, both domestically and internationally. Some of the more prominent foreign manufacturers competing in the United States include: Argo Tractors S.p.A. (Italy), Kubota Tractor Corporation (Japan), the Mahindra Group (India), SAME-Deutz-Fahr (Italy), Daedong Industrial (Korea), the Yanmar Co., Ltd. (Japan), and Zetor a.s. (Czech Republic). The three full-line U.S. manufacturers compete in virtually all of the many sub-categories for such tractors, offering premium products in a much broader market. In addition to their iconic brand names, much of the premium depends on the extent and reliability of these companies service networks. Even in the high HP range--where Deere, CNH and AGCO are much more dominantGermanys Claas and Buhler Industries (of Winnipeg; now a subsidiary of Russia's Rostselmash) also compete.
The large and lucrative U.S. market attracts great interest from foreign competitors in other sectors. In the irrigation equipment segment, Netafim, Ltd. (Israel) and Jain Irrigation Systems, Ltd (India) have large and growing U.S. manufacturing operations. In addition to tractors, Japans Kubota sells a range of commercial mowers in the United States. GEA Farm Technologies (Germany) and DeLaval International (Sweden) manufacture and import milking parlor and other farm dairy equipment, as well as a wide range of other equipment and supplies for the dairy industry.
Domestic Environment
The development of biofuels is a major public policy issue for many U.S. agricultural equipment manufacturers. A number of U.S. agricultural equipment manufacturers consider biofuels, especially corn-based ethanol, a major source of sales growth for their industry. The leading full-line manufacturers produce all the equipment necessary to grow and harvest corn, sugar cane, and various grasses and other crops that are current or potential feedstocks for ethanol and biodiesel. Manufacturers of grain storage buildings and other specialty equipment also stand to benefit from biofuels development.
While, in the short term, increases and decreases in biofuel production appear to be dependent on the price elasticity of carbon-based fuel, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) continues to view biofuels as a critical component of any energy policy seeking to improve environmental stewardship and energy independence. Consequently, AEM supports: maintaining the biofuel production targets set forth in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007; continued funding of research to improve the efficiency of biofuel production; continuing the tax incentives for biofuel production established by the 2008 Farm Bill, and increased funding for agricultural research to increase agricultural output.
Another group, the 25x25 coalition of equipment manufacturers and other agribusiness companies, advocates that by the year 2025 Americas farms, forests and ranches will provide 25 percent of the total energy consumed in the United States, while continuing to produce safe, abundant, and affordable food, feed and fiber.
AEM and U.S. agricultural equipment manufacturers also advocate for permanently shortening the depreciation schedule for their products in the U.S. Tax Code to five years. The Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 cut the schedule from seven years to five for equipment purchased in 2009. This provision expires in 2010, however, and the industry would like it to be made permanent. AEM argues that the shorter depreciation schedule will encourage farmers to invest in new machinery that is more environmentally friendly and safer to operate, and that it will support Americas rural economy, as well as the U.S. manufacturing sector, while having a nearly revenue-neutral affect on the U.S. Treasury.
In all agricultural equipment segments, development of the manufacturing work force is a concern. Skills such as welding, machining (CNC, CAD-CAM, etc.) and others related to metals fabrication are in high demand. Manufacturers frequently report a significant shortage of such skilled labor.
Trading Environment
The U.S. agricultural equipment industry is a strong global competitor. Large or small, U.S. manufacturers tend to be global leaders in their fields. After a period of prolonged growth, however, the U.S. agricultural equipment industry is likely to see both its domestic and international markets contract as a result of the global economic downturn. Especially in Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan, U.S. exporters will not be able to sustain the level of sales seen there in recent years. While the United States more mature export markets will probably also decline, their relative strength and stability will make them all the more important in the global marketplace for agricultural equipment.
The leading manufacturers and industry associations have long been strong supporters of free trade and work closely with the Commerce Department. Organizations such as the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and the Irrigation Association (IA) also support the ongoing development of international standards for agricultural equipment. The International Agri-Center, a non-profit organization located in Tulare, California, owns and operates the largest annual agricultural equipment exhibition in the world.
Also in California, the International Center for Water Technology (ICWT) at the California State University Fresno works closely with MAS and the Commercial Service to support U.S. exporters of irrigation equipment and other water management technologies. The North Dakota Trade Office (NDTO) is very active in promoting the export of agricultural equipment from the Upper Midwest to many emerging markets, also in close cooperation with MAS and the Commercial Service.
Russia Combine Harvester Tariffs
In January 2009, the Russian Government announced the imposition of a 120-euro duty on each kilowatt of engine power on agricultural equipment imported into Russia. Initial reports indicate that the tariff is being applied to all types of self-propelled equipment. This action follows and expands on several years of efforts to impose tariffs or other trade barriers to restrict the importation of combine harvesters from the United States and the European Union (Germany and Belgium). U.S. exporters also report that the leading Russian agricultural bankand probably other state-owned banks, as wellwill stop all lending to support imports of agricultural equipment.
The Russian Government launched an initial effort to impose a duty on each kilowatt of engine power of imported harvesters in 2006. This attempt was forestalled in November 2006 by a side-letter to the U.S.-Russia bilateral WTO accession agreement. Subsequently, in February 2008, the Russian Government initiated a safeguards investigation of imported combine harvesters to determine whether or not the domestic Russian industry was suffering undue harm from an alleged surge in imports. The 120-euro tariff is not an outcome of the safeguards investigation, which continues.
The Machinery Team remains engaged on this issue with colleagues in MAC, IA, and USTR, as well as with AEM, Deere & Company, and CNH Global. While the Russian market will decline for purely economic reasons in 2009, it should be noted that Russia was the United States third-largest market for agricultural equipment in 2008, with U.S. exports of $656 million.
OECD Tractor Testing
With respect to international standards and testing, a working group of engineers from the leading U.S. and foreign tractor manufacturers are planning for the future of OECD-sanctioned tractor testing in the United States. For many years, the University of Nebraska has been home to the Nebraska Tractor Test Station, which carries out product testing according to procedures set out by OECD. For local political reasons, the State of Nebraska has decided to alteror possibly endthe universitys role as U.S. host for the OECD tractor testing regime.
An industry working group, sponsored by AEM with strong participation by Deere & Company and CNH Global, has been working to develop alternatives. The Machinery Team has learned that one possible outcome of the working groups efforts may be a proposal to institute a national tractor testing program, possibly with involvement by the Department of Commerce. While no authoritative draft legislation has been forthcoming, a tractor testing proposal involving the Commerce Department directly is problematic for a variety of reasons. The Machinery Team is monitoring this issue pending further developments.
The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) is the leading trade association for the agricultural equipment industry. AEM is the international trade and business development resource for over 800 companies that manufacture equipment, products and services used worldwide not only in the agricultural industry, but also in the construction, forestry, mining and utility industries. As such, AEM represents industries that enable commerce and the standard of living Americans have come to enjoy.
AEM works to ensure that its members views and business concerns are addressed in the areas of legislation, trade policies, regulations and standards. For many years, AEM has worked closely with the Department of Commerce on a variety of export marketing activities and has been the recipient of several Market Development Cooperator Program awards. Nick Yaksich, AEMs Vice-President, Global Public Policy, is a member of the Industry Trade Advisory Committee for Automotive Equipment and Capital Goods (ITAC 2).

HERNDON, Va. (WUSA) -- I peruse a lot of local blogs and newspapers, always brainstorming for story ideas for both the broadcast and online arms of dc.highschoolsports.net.
Here at dc.highschoolsports.net, we are charged with digging up stories from all over the Washington region and as you could imagine, that part of the job can get pretty overwhelming.
So it was to my delight that a local blog made mention of a local Virginia soccer player who was recruited this summer to play for the professional/amateur (pro-am) women's soccer team in the area.
With the departed Washington Freedom leaving a vacuum for top-flight women's soccer, the pro-am W-League decided to set up shop with "D.C. United Women" (excuse me, but I'm still learning all of the different levels and affiliations of both men's and women's soccer. I was and still am, terrible at any sport that requires me to directly interact with a ball).
With all of this moving and shifting of teams this past winter and spring, the D.C. Women had a short window to piece together a roster. When D.C. Women began seeing offensive woes with its roster of professionals, college graduates, and current college players, D.C. United Women coach Mike Jorden decided to use some of his high school-level contacts and find an answer.
Stone Bridge High School rising junior and recent James Madison University-commit Ashley Herndon was his answer.
Because of the W League's structure, Herndon's eligibility was never in question. What concerned Jorden was Herndon's durability. He snatched up the scorer fresh off her high school season and in the midst of her club schedule.
"It's different because it's a faster game, the girls are older and have been through college," said Herndon.
If Herndon was wearing out, you couldn't tell. The reserved rising high school junior gets after it on the field, attacking the goal and looking to score, which was exactly why Jorden brought her on the team.
"Her club coach is a friend of mine, so I talked to him about Ashley and he said she's one of the better goal scorers in the area for a 16-year-old, and we need goals," said Jorden.
Already, Herndon has logged minutes on the field, appearing in three games for D.C. United Women. Wasting no time, Jorden rolled out the teen amongst grown adults and started Herndon in her first match in mid-June as a member of the team.
"She came into the first game and didn't know what to expect and was a bit tentative, but as the game went on, she got more aggressive," said Jorden.
Similar to how Herndon has had to settle into a higher level of play, the 16-year-old has had to adjust to playing with all women in their twenties. According to teammate Christy Bush, who is 12 years Herndon's senior, younger players like Herndon tend to be quieter and it's crucial for the older teammates and coaches to communicate effectively to the younger players.
Herndon has taken to her stint in the W League well, gaining the most valuable type of experience: consistently playing against competition that is better than you. Her talents have boded well for her, proving she can hang, and even succeed, at the next level.
"She's a little bit raw, but she has immense talent and things you can't teach. She runs off the ball, she's always finding herself on good places. Although she's got a lot to learn, she's got a bright future," said Jorden.

This blog is amazing! The best one out there right now (sorry Brophy and Chris Brown). This is the blog I've always wanted to write, but didn't have the time or expertise to do. Man, this is great!ReplyDelete
Great Article! I am enjoying and learning from the information you are explaining in your blog.ReplyDelete

I too love the blog, but don't like this particular blitz. Why not just have the WS/SS take the TE, and have the DE rush? You still have the same number of rushers from the roughly the same spots without the risk of a linemen covering a good receiver. Especially with the caliber of TEs we are now seeing at the NCAA level. Would really like to see this blitz on film.ReplyDelete
The blitz is effective in large part because the offensive line defines down linemen and blitzers in completely different ways. The confusion of having 4 down linemen, 3 blitzers, but a non-traditional 6 man rush can overwhelm the protection and QB. The blitz is also good vs. TE run game and PA pass.ReplyDelete

Wondering about the DE's technqiue on this one. Sinking hard at the snap? Mug the TE and then release? Bail pre-snap?ReplyDelete

SPRING MILLS - As the Wheeling Central Maroon Knights began running the ball against the Spring Mills Cardinals on Saturday, Wheeling Central coach Mike Young got what he wanted.
The Maroon Knights rushed for 444 yards and scored 41 unanswered points in beating Spring Mills, 50-20.
"This was a big momentum builder for us heading into next week," Young said as the Maroon Knights improved to 6-4, raising their likelihood of reaching the postseason. "We had been in the playoffs the last 16 years, and we did not want to disappoint anyone by not making it this year."

Wheeling Central took charge, scoring 21 points in the opening quarter.
Isaac Rine and C.J. Burch combined for 70 yards on six plays on the Maroon Knights opening possession. Rine rushed for 8 yards before Burch scored on the next possession on a 54-yard run to cap off a three-play, 77-yard drive. Joe John added another touchdown for Wheeling Central on a 46-yard run from a direct snap.
The Maroon Knights added 13 more points in the second quarter.
Rine found John on a 5-yard pass to cap a eight-play, 70-yard drive to stretch the lead to 28 points with 4:30 to play in the half. Two minutes later, Burch scored on a 39-yard touchdown trot to make the score 34-0 at halftime.
Following a sixth touchdown by Central to start the second half, Spring Mills got on the scoreboard.
William Sweeney and Alex Rideout started out the Cardinals' opening drive of the second half with three runs combining for 15 yards. Lane Riner then found Sweeney for a 10-yard pass play, and Spring Mills added 14 more yards from a Wheeling Central personal foul.
On third-and-11 from the Maroon Knights 15, Riner connected with Sweeney on a 12-yard pass, throwing the ball off his back foot for a first down. Riner then found Demetrius Jalepes two plays later for the touchdown with 2:24 remaining in the quarter.
Wheeling Central's first drive of the final 12 minutes stalled, resulting in a 37-yard field goal by Alex Calvert. The Maroon Knights scored a touchdown on their next possession following an interception by Adam Campbell.
Wheeling Central capped a seven-play, 37-yard drive with a Matthew Gruber pass to Luke Fahey to make the score 50-7.
Even as the Maroon Knights carried the momentum throughout the 48 minutes, Spring Mills ended its inaugural season on a positive note.
Following the Maroon Knights touchdown, the Cardinals relied on Hezekiah Dupree, who made his debut following a recent move into the school district.
"He did a good job on a short week working with us," Cardinals coach Derek Munson said of Dupree. "In the future, he is going to be a nice asset for the program."
Dupree commanded the rushing on the drive, bulldozing his way to six carries for 69 of his 85 total rushing yards and capping the drive with a 3-yard touchdown plunge.
The Cardinals recovered an onside kick and relied on a pair of carries from Jalepes, one for 15 yards and the other for a 31-yard touchdown, to round out the scoring.

Tulane University School of Medicine's dermatology department will offer free skin cancer screenings from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday, May 10, in the Dermatology Clinic on the fifth floor of Tulane Medical Center, 1415 Tulane Ave.
"Screenings offer the best chance for catching cancer early, when it is most curable," said Dr. Andrea Murina, assistant professor of clinical medicine. "We encourage everyone to take charge of their health and participate in our free skin cancer screening opportunity."
The free screenings involve full- or upper-body skin assessments or spot skin checks by a Tulane dermatologist. If suspicious lesions are found, patients will be encouraged to contact their personal physicians, or they will be referred to a Tulane dermatologist.
No treatments or biopsies will be performed, and appointments are not necessary. Walk-in patients are welcomed.
The most common serious form of skin cancer is melanoma. According to the American Cancer Society, melanoma accounts for less than 5 percent of all skin cancer diagnoses, but the vast majority of skin cancer deaths, and incidence rates for melanoma have been increasing steadily for the last 30 years. Approximately 76,690 Americans will be diagnosed with melanoma this year, and 9,480 will die from the disease.
Those who have experienced severe sunburn or have a history of sun exposure, those with fair skin who burn easily and anyone experiencing a recent change in the appearance of a mole should consider being screened.
Validated parking is available in Tulane's LaSalle St. Garage, located on the corner of Tulane and LaSalle streets.
For more information on Tulane's free skin cancer screenings, please contact the Tulane Dermatology Clinic at 504-988-1700.

... Yes that is the G-5 Deluxe, and I think we will have a Military by the end of 2009
I really fancy the UCE Classic, but am I alone in thinking the price is a bit too rich for a middleweight single, produced in a third world economy? The much stronger US Dollar doesn't seem to have been reflected in the price to me. I would have thought around 5 grand would have been about right, but i expect I'll be proven totally wrong. 6 and a half-ish? I would like one, but it's too rich for me.
From what others paid last year , and the new technology you are getting next year, that sounds about right to me.Some of your better dealers may be able to get more with prep, customer service, and add on 's, I wish they were $1000 each ,so I could buy 2 or 3 more.
Hello all you Royal Enfield owners. I have been looking at purchasing a Royal Enfield for some time, I was first drawn to them because of there looks. How much different will these new bikes be from the "traditional" bikes.

ASHBURN, Va. (AP) - While almost all of the focus at Redskins Park this month has been on whether coach Mike Shanahan will return for the fifth and final year of his contract, seven of the nine current players who preceded him in Washington could also be wearing burgundy and gold for the final time during Sunday's game at the New York Giants.
The list includes four-time Pro Bowl inside linebacker London Fletcher, receiver Santana Moss, three-time Pro Bowl cornerback DeAngelo Hall, and two-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker Brian Orakpo.
Moss said Thursday he doesn't like to even talk about it. He arrived in March 2005 in a trade with the New York Jets and has been in Washington longer than any current Redskin. Moss says, "It's nothing I can control."
