Managing the Marketing Gap
Marketing in every industry is undergoing a radical transformation, with technology, data, and new skills and processes enabling customer-driven interactions, automated cross-channel campaign management, and rapid feedback loops. The speed and extent of this change has created a gap between what is currently possible in customer-centric marketing and the readiness of many Life Sciences brands to make full use of those capabilities.
The Imperative for Change for Life Sciences Marketers
The pressure on Life Sciences marketers has never been greater. In place of one or two trusted information sources, customers may now consult hundreds. Both physicians and patients are more self-directed and discriminating. In addition to changing customer dynamics, marketers also face greater financial pressure to demonstrate performance, a more conservative regulatory environment, and significant political uncertainty. In short, marketers are being asked to do more with less money, in an environment of greater complexity.
This is also a time of phenomenal opportunity for Life Sciences marketers. There is more data available to help them identify needs, design relevant customer interactions, and sequence activities for maximum effect. They have flexible technology tools to enable the marketing process – tools that can radically improve marketers' view into all of their marketing efforts and provide the means to both optimize their tactics and communicate real value to management. And there is an opportunity for professional growth and learning that is unparalleled in the last 20 years of our industry.
Other industries have been on this journey for a long time—and some of the results have been impressive. A 2003 Harvard Business Review case study titled Optimal Marketing describes how Samsung transformed its marketing approach to be insight-driven, fact-based and organized around data. The results were game-changing for the company. In the decade following the article's publication:
- Samsung went from a mostly unknown OEM supplier of electronics to one of the world's best known, fastest growing companies.
- According to a study by Interbrand, Samsung's brand value grew 30 percent in a single year while Sony's decreased 7 percent. It gained widespread name recognition and became the other major player (in addition to Apple) in the smart phone and tablet markets.
- Revenue increased 25 percent year-over-year and net income more than doubled.
- Samsung's stock price increased more than 7 times while Sony's declined by more than half.
What does the change look like?
To address market changes, marketing is evolving to be more customer-centric, integrated across channels, and insight-driven to deliver measurable performance. For Life Sciences organizations, this means the sophistication of their marketing capabilities must increase for them to remain competitive. The steps along this journey involve first bringing together all relevant customer information, then integrating channels to shape the customer experience, and finally learning to leverage data to achieve optimal and demonstrable performance.
Life Sciences marketers who lag in this journey face significant risks to their brands, while those who embrace it have a tremendous opportunity to increase their impact, grow their skills, and outperform their competition.
The three-step process to create your change plan
The change that Life Sciences marketers must help their companies undergo requires three steps:
1. Take stock of your current approach to marketing
Before you can create a roadmap for the future, you first have to know where you are now. The IMS Health whitepaper Managing the Marketing Gap contains a Marketing Maturity Diagnostic to help you establish a baseline for your marketing approach across four categories: Customer Information & Segmentation; Customer Experience; Marketing Analytics; and Marketing Technology. After you complete the Diagnostic, your total score will serve as a baseline to help you determine gaps, develop action plans, and track progress.
2. Assess the gap between your current marketing status and your desired market situation
Your total score for each brand indicates your current position on the Marketing Maturity Curve (Figure 1). There are four stages along the Curve, ranging from tactic-driven to insight-driven (or informed) marketing. This assessment can help you identify opportunities for growth in your marketing capabilities, especially in light of what is possible with new technology and other advances. In looking at these scores, however, keep in mind that the most advanced stage is not necessarily the best choice for each brand. Your market situation is really the key factor for determining the right fit.
Figure 1: Marketing Maturity Curve
3. Establish an action plan to close the gap and move rapidly up the Marketing Maturity Curve
Three interconnected components are essential for achieving insight-driven marketing: skills for working with data, new operational processes, and marketing technology. None of these components will be fully effective without the others in place.
The evolving commercial model for Life Sciences must be enabled by new marketing technology, operational processes, and skills in the strategic use of information assets. Business pressures demand that Life Sciences marketers rapidly increase the sophistication of their marketing efforts, which will require capabilities that in many cases are not yet in place within the industry.
Marketers, along with the commercial operations and analytics teams that enable them, have an opportunity to lead this transformation, one that can radically change how they meet the needs of their customers while ensuring strong performance and showing management that they are good stewards of their marketing budgets.

There in mid January, and of course, had to pick the week when it hit in 40's every day. Was impressed at the beautiful mountain, with unbelievable lodges and top quality lift service, no waiting in lines, cheap lift tickets, very nice people.
Unfortunately, the mountain was a solid ice cube due to the weather, not their fault of course. Spent all day explored every nook and cranny for anything soft, no dice. At end of the day was thinking about canceling the trip and flying back home since weather was to be sunny and 40's for next 5 days. Had there been snow would have been a great place to ski.
However, decided to try out powder mountain nearby the next day and to my amazement there was fresh, deep, untracked powder everywhere off piste, hadn't snowed for week and a half either, really surprising.
The bad:
Unfortunately, I am a black diamond/double black skier, both mountains are typical Utah black diamond skiing, either steep black runs for a very short while followed by very very long green or blue runs all the way back down, or the reverse. Utah just doesn't have tall and steep the whole way down like Jackson Hole or Colorado do. Also, after skiing the double blacks here, you kinda chuckle to yourself "That was a double black?" You have to hike to get to the real ones.
Caution, the trail map shows long blacks, but they are not even close.
Also, if staying in Eden or Huntsville, and you are accustomed to eating real food, whatever you do, drive back Ogden or Layton to eat out. You've been warned.
The good:
Absolutely perfect for beginners and intermediates.
Gorgeous mountain.
$56 lift ticket.
Great on mountain food at reasonable prices.
2 gondolas, 1 tram, fast lifts
1st class resort
Friendly people.
Road to Snowbasin is safe and easy with no 'scare' factor. (unlike the rest of Utah). Cheap 2 wheel drive rental no problem at all.

text: You might think that, since the game of golf has been around for a long, long time, it would stand to reason that the profession of golf course architect has also been around for a long, long time. You would be mistaken. The American Society of Golf Course Architects (ASGCA) dates only from the late 1940s. As you might expect, the organization has a small membership. You might also assume that, with profession. In truth, the aura exceeds the reality. What Shiels (who has coauthored books with Larry King and Donald Trump) has done is to give brief observations, stories, and insights from 118 members of the ASGCA (which sponsored the book). Of particular note, many of the golf course architects "happened" into the field, and these stories are particularly interesting. The book covers a raft of viewpoints on design issues, construction problems, client egos, and professional golfers whose sole contribution to course design is their name. Dipping into this book is sort of like meeting a new friend in a lounge for a drink and sharing a story or two. Shiels has managed to take individual observations and create a seamless story bolstered by drawings and spectacular photographs. Recommended for sports collections.

Secretary-General's remarks upon receiving final report of the UN Mission to Investigate Allegations of the Use of Chemical Weapons in Syria
New York, 12 December 2013
Good afternoon, Ladies and Gentlemen.
As you just saw, I have now received the final report of the United Nations Mission to Investigate Allegations of the use of Chemical Weapons in Syria from the Head of the Mission, Professor Åke Sellström.
He is accompanied by his team leaders from the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons and the World Health Organization.
I have not read the report, but will do so immediately after this briefing.
The report will be posted shortly on the website of the Office for Disarmament Affairs. My Spokesperson will ensure the link is sent and tweeted as soon as possible.
Tomorrow afternoon, I will brief the General Assembly, and on Monday I will brief the Security Council.
I know you will have many questions. I encourage you to first read the report. After I have briefed the Assembly, my High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, Under-Secretary-General Angela Kane, along with Professor Sellstrom and the team leaders, Mr. Scott Cairns from the OPCW and Dr. Maurizio Barbeschi from the WHO, will brief the press.
I again commend the team of experts led by Professor Sellström for their important and courageous work. They have carried out their tasks with the highest degree of professionalism, and did so in the face of many dangers.
Much has happened since the first allegations of the use of chemical weapons in Syria in March of this year. The Syrian Government acknowledged that it possessed chemical weapons and subsequently joined the Chemical Weapons Convention. An OPCW-UN Joint Mission was established and continues to oversee the timely elimination of Syria's chemical weapons programme in the safest and most secure manner possible.
The use of chemical weapons is a grave violation of international law and an affront to our shared humanity. We need to remain vigilant to ensure that these awful weapons are eliminated, not only in Syria, but everywhere.
I thank you.

Stock wherever brawling broads are sold.
Inspired by Hollywood's Fight Club, Extreme Chickfights Reloaded (the sequel to Extreme Chickfights) is a genuine put up or shut up, throw down and beat the crap out of each other fighting title - with chicks.
Although the fights seem to be completely underground, legally questionable and feature young girls who look like they were snatched right off the street corner, each event is fully structured - with a legitimate boxing ring, a referee, announcers and medics.
Unfortunately, it's hard to rip off another girl's clothes with those big, clumsy boxing clubs. But the final fight is a bare-knuckle brawl that ends with some bare boobs and a broken nose.

- Description
Arizona Denver 609 Multi Fuel 7.8 kW Matt Black Inset Stove
The easy, economical alternative to an open fire
Buying the Arizona Denver inset stove is a no-brainer if you currently have an open fireplace.
Burning Wood: 6.5 kW 74% Efficiency
Burning Anthracite: 7.8 kW 68% Efficiency
At present you'll be losing around 75% of the heat generated straight up the chimney. Installing the Denver will reduce that figure to 24%.
Other benefits include:
- Easy installation – it simply slots into a standard tapered 16 inch wide by 22 inch high fireplace and is held in place by two clips. It can be fitted in minutes.
- Convection heat recovery system to get an efficient and environmentally friendly burn.
- Airwash system to keep your glass clean and increase heat output.
- Simple controls capable of keeping your stove burning overnight.
"Effective and easy to use. It convects heat throughout the house. Much more controllable than an open fire so you get the temperature you want."
Susanna Bichard. Read more reviews.

- Excellent stove, prompt delivery, quality product
Bought this two weeks ago and have now fitted it. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and I am very happy with the service. The delivery was exceptionally prompt. the young delivery man helped me lift it into the house..... he could not have done this alone. So If I had not been home he would have dropped at the kerbside. I've seen complaints about this but I think this is unjustified Delivery and drop off is very well explained and so nothing to complain about. The product is heavy duty and was well cheaper than other suppliers. this fire works extremely well and throws out plenty of heat. I'm very pleased.

Taken a while to find some-one to fit this wood burning stove, but at long last it is in, hooray. The stove looks very good, very efficient as was the service. I certainly made the right choice and although I only saw it on line am extremely happy with it and the help from Adam who has been in contact with me for a while now. Thank you very much for a wonderful service and a fantastic wood burner, which does what it says on the label. A great experience, happy to recommend this company and product, thank you.

- all good
The stove fitted neatly into the space where our living flame gas fire had been The fitters found it easy to install. The fire is easily lit using heat logs and newspaper with a little bit of firelighter and it burns really nicely with logs at the back and coal at the front. The space for fuel is bigger than I expected so we can build up a really decent fire.
The only possible problem was that it was delivered by one man who could no have carried it into our home. Fortunately we have a garage so he placed the pallet in there.
We had been warned that our marble fire surround might be damaged by the heat from the fire but so far it hasn't been a problem.

- Cracking stove
We did a bit of homework prior to buying a stove as we were uncertain as to go with a log burner or a multi-fuel burner. In the end we opted for the Arizona Denver multi-fuel as we felt it looked good on the website & it gave us the option to burn coal or peat should our supply of wood deplete. We had it fitted just a few days ago so we have not had it working to full capacity but the early indications are all good. It fitted very neatly into what used to be our open fire & it looks fantastic. Heat wise, it seemed a bit slow to throw out a decent heat at first but on building up the fire & learning to control the air flows it has not disappointed. We are now thinking on getting one of the wee fans to sit on top of the unit to help blast the heat out through out the room. Delivery from Gr8fires was superb, we live in rural Highland Scotland & the fire was delivered without any issues at all. Many thanks!

After deciding upon an inset burner i bought the Arizona Denver. I was curious as to the ease of installation as other reviews have said how simple it is to install. They were right, it really is a simple procedure. It slots straight into the existing opening. I have sealed mine in with Fire rope also.
It burns brilliantly, the large window and convecting vents on the top and sides warm the room quickly. It radiates more than enough heat to warm the the ground floor of my three bed dormer bungalow.
The fire uses a surprisingly small amount of fuel. The overnight burn function is very simple to master. Just back the fire up with fuel and close the vents. Open them up in the morning and within 20 minutes the fire is fully awake.
Excellent service from the company, and a great product. I recommend this for anyone who wants the simple way to joun the wood burner club.

Absolutely delighted with fire and with the service that gr8fires deliver. One small thing that would help is recommending which glass beading to buy and also some installation instructions.
Gr8fires reply: A new manual will be available on the product page as a download shortly. The stove should be fitted with a 2m 12mm loose bound rope kit.

We are delighted with our black enamel Denver 609. It looks as though it's always been there. Effective and easy to use. It convects heat throughout the house. Much more controllable than an open fire so you get the temperature you want. Excellent service from gr8fires.
The only slight niggle for the installer were the clips which were fiddly - not such a great design. However, he is going to recommend this to someone else.

- Excellent stove
Bought this from gr8fires about two months ago. It proved quite a hassle fitting it into the existing fireplace. Most of the issues were ensuring that my chimney satisfied regulations.
I commissioned the stove just over a week ago and am now delighted with the finished product. My lounge is wonderfully cosy and by using smokeless briquets and shutting the vents, the stove is warm and ready to fire up in the morning. Well worth the money.

- Delivery & service first class
Delighted with the Arizona Denver & service from GR8 Fires - the fitting was fine but fiddly - it's a catch 22 situation as you have to secure the fixing lugs through the flue spigot but not possible especially if a flue liner is connected to it.

Consumer Spending in U.S. Rose in June by Most in Three Months
Consumer spending in the U.S. rose in June by the most in three months, ending the quarter on a strong note and signaling that continued job growth will bolster the world's largest economy.
Household purchases, which account for about 70 percent of the economy, climbed 0.4 percent after a 0.3 percent gain in May that was larger than previously estimated, Commerce Department figures showed today in Washington. The increased matched the median forecast of 74 economists in a Bloomberg survey. Incomes also advanced 0.4 percent.
A strengthening job market is supporting consumer confidence and giving households the means to spend as the economic expansion heads into its sixth year. Companies such as Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. are optimistic sales will keep improving in the coming months.
"We have perhaps the best consumer that we've had this entire cycle," Jacob Oubina, senior U.S. economist at RBC Capital Markets LLC in New York, said before the report. "The fact that wages accelerated decently in the second quarter suggests some good momentum going into the second half of the year."
Projections for spending in the Bloomberg survey ranged from gains of 0.3 percent to 1 percent. The May reading was previously reported as an increase of 0.2 percent.
The Bloomberg survey median called for incomes to also rise 0.4 percent, matching the previous month's gain.
July Payrolls
A Labor Department report today showed payrolls climbed by 209,000 in July and the jobless rate increased to 6.2 percent from 6.1 percent in June.
Today's consumption data showed that after adjusting consumer spending for inflation, which generates the figures used to calculate gross domestic product, purchases rose 0.2 percent after a 0.1 percent gain the previous month.
Spending on durable goods, including automobiles, increased 0.4 percent after adjusting for inflation following a 1.3 percent advance in May. Purchases of non-durable goods, which include gasoline, rose 0.3 percent.
Household outlays on services increased 0.1 percent after adjusting for inflation. In addition to health care, the category also includes utilities, tourism, legal help and personal care items such as haircuts. This typically makes it difficult for the government to estimate accurately in the preliminary report.
Today's data also showed the core price measure, which excludes fuel and food, increased 0.1 percent in June from the prior month and was up 1.5 percent from a year ago, the same as in May.
Price Gauge
Total prices tied to consumer spending rose 1.6 percent in the year ended June, after advancing 1.7 percent in May. Federal Reserve policy makers aim for prices to increase around 2 percent a year.
An improving economy is buoying results in some cyclical sectors, such as lodging. Starwood Hotels, which owns high-end brands such as St. Regis and W, last week reported adjusted earnings that beat analysts' estimates and raised its outlook for the year.
"Our results are very much in line with the state of the U.S. economy," Chief Executive Officer Frits van Paasschen said on a July 24 conference call with investors. "Corporate profitability is high, consumer confidence is back where it was in early 2008, both of which bode well for increased demand for high-end travel."
Disposable income, or the money left over after taxes, climbed 2.3 percent in June from a year earlier after adjusting for inflation, the same as in May.
Growth Rebounds
A report earlier this week showed the U.S. economy rebounded from a winter weather-induced slump, as second quarter gross domestic product climbed at a 4 percent annualized rate after contracting at a 2.1 percent rate that was smaller than previously estimated.
Even amid the pickup in growth and payrolls, the Federal Reserve said the labor market has plenty of room for improvement, bolstering the case for keeping interest rates low.
The Federal Open Market Committee's policy statement earlier this week diminished the unemployment rate as a measure of progress toward its full-employment goal, saying "a range" of indicators suggest "significant underutilization of labor resources."
Policy makers continued to trim the asset purchases that have enlarged the Fed's balance sheet to a record $4.41 trillion, leaving them on pace to end in October. The central bank tapered monthly bond buying by $10 billion, to $25 billion. The FOMC repeated it's likely to reduce purchases in "further measured steps" and keep interest rates low for a "considerable time" after ending them.

Alberta's NDP government now sees a potential path forward for the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline through British Columbia, as interprovincial talks continue linking future electricity sales to pipeline approval. Premier Rachel Notley has said she won't back Gateway, which would send Alberta oilsands crude to the northern Pacific coast for shipment to Asian markets, because obstacles to the project […]
British Columbia's environment minister says potential polluters will face new penalties for spills and stronger rules governing cleanups as the government moves to amend environmental legislation. Mary Polak said Monday amendments to the Environmental Management Act also seek to establish a new spill preparedness and response system to tackle environmental emergencies. "This legislation will allow […]
Notley says the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project benefits all Canadians, but she understands B.C. concerns about the $6.8 billion project.
The B.C. Liberal government proposes creating an industry-funded group to prepare for and clean up oil spills on land similar to a federally-mandated body that exists for marine spills. The government believes a model similar to the Western Canada Marine Response Corp. (WCMRC) could help create a world-leading spill response system, which it says is needed for it to support heavy oil pipelines to the B.C. coast.
The B.C. government's removal of requirements for environmental assessments for sweet natural gas processing plants and for new and expanded ski and all-season resorts represents a continued slide towards deregulation in the province, the West Coast Environmental Law Association charged Tuesday.
There is no evidence of an increase in radiation in the environment "much above background level" as a result of the 2011 tsunami in Japan that caused meltdowns at the Fukushima nuclear energy plant, the president of the Vancouver Aquarium said Tuesday.
The Alberta government hailed the National Energy Board's conditional approval for Enbridge's controversial Northern Gateway oil pipeline, but flashpoints remain around environmental issues, First Nations' rights and the economic benefit the megaproject delivers to British Columbia. In its decision released Thursday, the federal agency's joint review panel found that Gateway — a $6.5-billion line which would transport oilsands crude to the B.C. coast for shipment to Asia — would be economically beneficial to Canada.

Bringing Storage Technology to Life in Mkushi, Zambia
By Louisa Parker, Manager External Affairs, Africa & Middle East
In June Bags2Bulk held its first demonstration day showcasing the bulk storage technology to grain traders. GSI Africa and the installation team worked tirelessly to have the demo unit ready for the event held In Mkushi which was well attended. It was great to see the response of the traders now that they have been able to see and touch the technology as the project team was pleased to receive the local Agricultural Commissioner Mr. Luka Mwamba as guest of honour at the event.
This is the first of several demonstration events that will take place at five locations throughout Central and Eastern province in Zambia during the course of the pilot. The team is now following up on a number of sales leads and GSI is now looking at several candidates to take forward the role of sales assistant to support the project.
Speaking at the event, the Commissioner noted that he had seen the GSI technology and was impressed by what he'd seen. He said "previously, this technology has only been available to large commercial farmers. I am pleased that now this is available to farmers and traders both large and small." While he praised the technology, he was quick to state that the government supports the Bags2Bulk initiative and encourages other players in the agriculture industry to come on board. Still, he cautioned "Of course nothing comes for free. Financing will be key to accessing this technology. It is good to see the banks here today. My message to you is work hard to develop a finance solution so that the farmers can take advantage of this new technology." To the traders, he reminded them that farming is a business not a charity. In closing, the Commissioner said "we look forward to seeing many shiny new silos on the small scale farms across Mkushi district in the months to come".

Rural Hospital's Future Is Bright Thanks to Biomass
Biomass, as a sustainable fuel, does more than just help the environment—it saves lives. Many rural hospitals have antiquated boiler systems that burn oil for fuel during the cold winter months. This is not a sustainable heat source, and the cost is putting many of them in the red. These hospitals often are the only close access to medical care in low income communities.
Piedmont Geriatric State Hospital in Burkeville, Virginia, is using biomass to keep its buildings warm during those long winters. The hospital burns around 3,000 tons of native warm season grasses (NWSG) as biofuel, supplied by FDC Enterprises, from November to May. The hospital saves, on average, more than $1,300 per day during those seven months.
On an energy basis, biomass is roughly one-third the cost of fuel, which quickly adds up. Glenn Farris stated, "For many rural hospitals, being able to save over $200,000 per year is the difference between staying open or closing their doors. It can also be the way to bring that next important lifesaving machine or a new doctor to their facility. It can't help but make you feel good to know you work for a company and in an industry that can make great things like this happen."
By using biomass energy, hospitals can save money normally used to heat the building and instead better serve the community. Biomass is a win for rural hospitals, the communities they serve and the environment. To learn more about AGCO Biomass solutions, please visit: http://bit.ly/AGCOBiomass.
The King of Collection
Little known to our dealers and for many of our employees is the fact that our large square baler, the 2170XD and now the 2270XD, is recognized as the "King of Collection" for the baling of corn stover and wheat straw for the fledgling cellulosic ethanol industry. For over 5 years, AGCO has been working with both leading industry and university associates to develop an economical biomass feedstock supply chain. Now our balers are the centerpiece of the supply chain critical to the success of the first 3 major projects for the industry. These three projects are Abengoa's Hugoton, KS project; Dupont's Nevada, IA project; and POET/DSM's project in Emmetsburg, IA. Each one is making ethanol from corn stover. Taken together these projects will require over 1,000,000 dry tons of material or roughly 1.8 million bales of which over 1.5 million will be large squares. With the corn harvest lasting only 6-8 weeks, to say there is intense activity for the baling of corn stover is a huge understatement.
Whether collecting this material for his or her self or having a professional harvester do it, this is a source of additional income for our farmers. Data has also shown an additional benefit resulting from this undertaking of residue management. With corn yields continually increasing, our farmers are producing rising amounts of corn stover as well. In fact so much residue is available after harvest that leaving it all on the field is not providing the same benefit it has in the past. The evidence is clear that removing some of the stover results in better yields in a corn on corn rotation. Uniformity of seed placement and depth, faster soil warming, less nitrogen fixing and less disease all help increase yields from 5-10%; this with the added benefit of less tilling.
Last year, during the 2013 corn harvest we had over 100 of our 2170's and 2170XD's at work making over 1,000,000 bales of corn stover for the ethanol industry. This amounted to over 90% of the large square balers working in this market. AGCO is working through product development to continue to improve our large square baler to support this dynamic new industry and our farmers. Better densities; data acquisition, management and evaluation; all helping to improve the operators of our equipment; and producing the most reliable and efficient large square baler in the market. This makes it easy to understand why our large square baler is considered the "King of Collection".

AGCO Bag2Bulk Roadshow Kicks Off in Central Province, Zambia
By Louisa Parker, Manager External Affairs, Africa & Middle East
To support AGCO's new partnership with USAID on the Feed the Future Partnering for Innovation project in Africa, the first kickoff Bags2Bulk Roadshow event was held in May and attended by grain traders from Central Province in Zambia. Working with our Zambian distributor GSI Africa and local partners Musika and Ybema Grain Services, we were able to share details of the Bags2Bulk project and educate the traders on the benefits of moving from bagged storage for maize and soya to bulk storage via the GSI technology. Benefits will not only be gained by the mid-size trader, but pass along to the small farmer as well – in the forms of reduced grain loss and better grain quality for longer storage periods allowing the trader to sell when the timing is optimal.
Traders received short presentations from a number of supporting organisations including two of the largest grain commodity traders in Zambia. The larger traders are keen to see this shift from bag to bulk as it also improves the efficiency of their operations. Ultimately, it means they can buy and sell more maize in a season also. For smallholders, the benefits are threefold 1) improved connections to the market, 2) greater transparency on pricing, 3) being able to recycle their grain bags and use them more than once.
Of course, we learned as much from the traders as they learned from us. We got a much better understanding of the challenges they have with logistics, commissioning trucks, aggregating the harvested maize from the small holders and trading their harvest in time to hit the trading season all while monitoring the quality of the grain they are trading. All of these aspects can be improved by moving to bulk storage and adding a portable auger. Additionally, they'll enjoy the added bonus of dramatically reducing post-harvest losses which continues to plague Africa today.
Fuel In The Field
If not in its infancy, biomass farming is perhaps still toddling along. Yet, most indicators point to a significant increase in production and an additional source of revenue for farmers, as well as a variety of other benefits, depending on the crop being grown.
Signs point to a number of infrastructure, process and equipment enhancements that will make the harvesting, transportation and storage of biomass much more efficient in the next few years, if not sooner.
For starters, consider the harvesting of corn stover, which in many areas of the country can increase corn yields for the following year. Also, perennial grasses such as miscanthus and switchgrass can be grown on marginal land, require little in the way of inputs, and offer a number of environmental benefits, such as helping to filter runoff and prevent erosion.
Among such biomass-producing crops, stover already has a foothold. It's readily available in many parts of the Corn Belt, where a partial harvest does help yields.
Now farmers and the biofuels industry are looking ahead at increased production of all things biomass, including the crops mentioned above, as well as energy sorghum, woody biomass and more. The U.S Department of Energy predicts total crop- and pastureland planted in bioenergy crops will increase from less than 10 million acres today to between 60 and 80 million acres over the next 15 years.
As a result of this increased demand, new processes and technologies are in development to help make the gathering and transport of biomass, particularly stover, more efficient and profitable for the farmer. Especially promising is single-pass harvesting, which promises the operator considerable time and fuel savings over other methods currently in use.
"AGCO has a unique solution for single-pass harvesting equipment with their new series of combines that are single-pass compatible," says Dr. Matt Darr, assistant professor of Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering at Iowa State University. "AGCO is also a leader in the industry with single-pass baling products to provide producers and large energy companies the opportunity to make single-pass harvesting a reality within a supply chain."
The technology in Hesston® by Massey Ferguson balers is ready-made to handle stover, as well as other biomass crops. Already, the Hesston 2170XD large square baler has earned its stripes for how densely it can pack the bulky crops, says David Ibbetson, a Kansas-based custom baler who uses two 2170XD balers to bundle some 15,000 bales each year in Iowa. He also uses Hesston round balers to bundle another 1,500-plus bales closer to his home in Yates Center.
Several other pieces of equipment that will aid in the harvesting of residue are now in the pipeline at AGCO. One such tool is a corn header that can harvest upwards of 150% higher volumes of corn and MOG. Another is a receiver chute that's attached to the front of the baler and allows it to take in MOG without it being deposited on the ground before baling. "By having the baler accept the residue directly," explains Maynard Herron, AGCO's engineering manager at its Hesston, Kan., plant, "you cut in half the amount of ash in the bale. Those cleaner bales, of course, are more valuable and make this approach to stover more profitable to the farmer."
Watch a video of Iowa State's Dr. Matt Darr explaining when harvesting corn stover can increase yields, save money and time, and generate revenue at http://www.myfarmlife.com/crops/the-case-for-stover/.

Research Institution:
AbstractAlameda Applied Sciences Corporation (AASC) proposes to develop a new type of high voltage, high power diamond switch potentially capable of switching GW power levels at ~100 kV. The basic element of this switch is a thin disk of natural or CVD diamondthat supports up to 25 kV, is triggered into conduction by UV radiation, achieves rise/fall times <1 ns (limited mostly by the rise/fall times of the trigger) and conducts ~1 kA/cm2 at repetition rates ~10 MHz. This basic element may be combined in seriesto hold-off higher voltages and in parallel to carry higher currents. Our Phase I goal is to demonstrate a 25 kV/10 A unit module, followed by series/parallel combinations to achieve 100 kV/10 A or 25 kV/40 A switching. Such UV triggered switches could bethe key enabling technology for a variety of pulsed power applications that have had to rely either on bulky and unreliable gas switches or stacks of semiconductor switches in series. Our Phase I project aims to establish well founded limits to thecapabilities of the new diamond switch, in the context of competing technologies such as series stacks of Si IGBTs, light triggered GaAs switches and emerging SiC technologies.The research proposed here could lead to a family of new solid-state switchesthat will find widespread application in aerospace systems, military radar, power transmission in the grid, high speed rail traction, uninterruptible power supplies for semiconductor manufacturing and automobile manufacturing.

FORT MADISON, Iowa (AP) - President Barack Obama says investments in clean energy technologies can help return jobs to the country's heartland and ensure that America doesn't fall behind other nations.
Obama made the comments at a wind energy plant in Iowa that employs more than 600 workers with help from tax credits in last year's economic stimulus law.
It was the president's first stop on a two-day Midwestern trip aimed at convincing voters his economic policies are working despite continued high unemployment.
Obama said wind power could generate as much as 20 percent of the country's electricity two decades from now. And he predicted passage of sweeping energy legislation that's in limbo in the Senate, saying the country's security and economy - and even "the future of our planet" - depend on it.

Have fun and enjoy!! *I used this recipe to make my gingerbread house, but the directions are slightly different for this. **See bottom of page.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 cup butter flavor shortening
- 1 1⁄4 cups sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup molasses
- 1⁄3 cup hot water
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ginger
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 4 cups flour
- raisins
- Place cloves in hot water; set aside.
- Cream shortening and sugar.
- Add egg and beat.
- Add molasses, beat.
- Remove cloves from water, discard cloves.
- Add clove water, beat. *Dough will look "curdled".
- Add rest of ingredients, except the last 4 cups flour, and beat. Gradually beat in last 4 cups flour.
- Chill dough.
- Roll out to 1/2" thick or slightly less.
- Cut into shapes.
- Decorate with raisins if desired.
- Place carefully on ungreased cookie sheet.
- Bake at 375° for 8-10 minutes. Do not over bake.
- *GB House directions:.
- Make dough the same as above, but roll dough out thin, 1/4" at most.
- Bake in 325 oven for about 20 minutes.
- Remove to racks to cool, and let harden/dry out a bit overnight for sturdiness if making large pieces.
- *Doors and windows need to be cut out PRIOR to baking. Fill any with crushed hard candy before baking, too. And pieces filled with hard candy baked the best on foil. Non candy-filled pieces were baked on parchment paper.

I had never made gingerbread cookies before and thought this was the perfect recipe to start with (as I already had all the ingredients on hand). The cookies turned out great and were so easy to make. The cooking times were spot on and the directions easy enough to follow. The results were awesome tasting gingerbread cookies. I also liked that these cookies were a bit on the softer side. Before, I never would have thought to make my own gingerbread cookies, and now I will never think to buy them from a store. Thank you!
The cookies turned out soft and delicious. Steeping the cloves in the water seems to ease the "bite" that you get with cloves sometimes. I reduced the heat and baking time a smidge for the "second roll-out" and the cookies were perfect.
These cookies are AMAZING! I didn't have molasses though so I used 1/2 dark brown sugar and 1/2 honey. The dough broke up quiet a few times but was very easy to mold back together, loved working with the easy to mold dough. So yummy, thank you so much.

'No No: A Dockumentary' Benefit
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of Dock Ellis' LSD no-hitter
By Will Eidam,
4:46PM, Wed. Jun. 9, 2010
No matter what is said in the next couple of paragraphs, no matter how impressive I make myself sound, just remember that none of it even comes close to what an eccentric African-American baseball player did 40 years ago. My proudest sport moment revealed only to have it one-upped a mere two paragraphs later ...
While in college, I once played an entire round of beer pong without missing a shot. 10 cups, nine shots. (I had nailed a shot with my patented no-look double bounce which is worth two cups.) Proudest sports moment of my career, right next to throwing a no-hitter with Mark Mulder versus my buddy Brett in the MLB 2006 video game. (For the record, I did that twice.)
For anyone who has played beer pong, y'all are probably thinking, "Big deal, that happens all the time." Maybe it does. But I was already 12 beers deep by the time I played my perfect game. That multiplies the difficulty level by about 10, right?
I mean, you have to consider that when you've downed a dozen Keystone Lights – (I was in college, remember? – that you're going to at least have one moment where you throw a pingpong ball six inches away from the nearest cup. It's just science. I don't even remember a ball even coming close to missing. Then again, by the end of the night I probably had finished close to a case of beer so I really don't remember much about that night at all. Come to think of it, did the perfect game even happen, or did I just dream about it while passed out? Ah ... college.
Having said that, whether it happened or not, it still doesn't compare to what former Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Dock Ellis did in 1970. You think playing a perfect game of beer pong while being wasted is impressive? Try throwing a no-hitter in a professional baseball game ... while on LSD.
That's what Ellis claims he did on June 12, 1970. And in three days, on the 40th anniversary of the LSD no-no, that story is going to be explored in detail at the Highball at 1142 South Lamar along with the premiere of the trailer for the locally produced No No: A Dockumentary. Filmmaker Jeffrey Radice (along with the rest of the film's production team) and Austin Film Society members will be in attendance as well. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Center for Independent Documentary, which is the nonprofit fiscal sponsor of No No: A Dockumentary.
According to the doc's co-producer and marketing director Mike Blizzard, "[The] film, currently in production, will provide the back-story on Dock's infamous no-hitter, social context for his exploits, and a forum for his voice. The film … uses Dock's controversial and flamboyant career as a basis to examine America, baseball, civil rights, and drug policy over the past half-century."
The release date for the documentary is TBD but the celebration of the 40th anniversary, complete with live music from Le Freak and Flounders Without Eyes as well as a special clip of Ellis talking about drugs, three years before his death in 2008 from a liver ailment, takes place this Saturday, June 12, from 6-10pm.
Meanwhile, the documentary for my perfect game is still being shopped around to several potential production companies. If you're interested in filming me tell stories of what may or (likely) may not have happened on that amazing night, please contact me at The Austin Chronicle. But if you'd rather hear about a much more entertaining achievement, head on over to the Highball on June 12.

Everything seems to be going against the odds in these unpredictable NFL playoffs.
Prior to this season, no 8-8 playoff team had won a game in the postseason. So what happens? The Vikings and Rams both did it over the weekend and on the road, too. Since 1990, almost 73 percent of the playoff home teams won during the first round. Over the weekend, three of the four losers were home teams.
No dome team has ever gone on the road and won two games to go to the Super Bowl. The Colts have a chance to be the first. Who knows? It's been an unpredictable season with unexplained results.
Perhaps the most sacred NFL axiom is at stake. Defenses supposedly win championships. You have to go back to the 1983 Raiders to find a team that won the Super Bowl that didn't rank among the top 10 defenses in either scoring or yards allowed.
Since last season's NFC and AFC title games, the landscape in the NFL changed. The Patriots pushed the limits of the illegal contact rule all the way to a Super Bowl title. But will that come back to haunt them? A lot is on the line this weekend.
The impact of the new emphasis on illegal contact was monumental in the first round. Points increased to more than 51 per game, better than four per game over last season. Passing yardage skyrocketed. The NFL wanted more offense and it got that.
In many ways, the NFL got the best of both worlds. Offense increased, but the penalties didn't seem to slow down games.
The results were predictable. The last time the NFL wanted to re-enforce the contact rules was in 1994. During that season, illegal contact penalties soared from 40 in 1993 to 117 in 1994. Pass interference penalties jumped from 178 to 216 during that period. Scoring increased from 37.4 to 40.5 that year, and yards per completion increased form 11.55 to 11.66.
The changes were just as pronounced this year.
Illegal contact penalties rose from 79 to 122. Pass interference penalties actually decreased from 238 in 2003 to 176 this season. Offense improved under those conditions. Scoring went from 41.66 to 43 and yards per completion went from 11.29 in 2003 to 11.8 this year.
Already, the shift towards the offensive side of the ball has had an impact during the playoffs. Only four top 10 defenses remain -- the Steelers, the Jets, the Patriots and the Eagles.
More coaches are talking about offense being important in winning playoff games. This weekend will be another test.
• New York Jets at Pittsburgh Steelers, Saturday, 4:30 ET: Jets defensive end Shaun Ellis predicted the Jets would beat the Steelers if they had the chance to meet again in the playoffs. On Saturday, the Steelers will try to make him regret those words. Though the Jets showed they could play with the Steelers, they wore down as the game went on. It was a fast, physical, run-oriented type of football game won by the Steelers, 17-6. It's hard to see anything different Saturday. The difference between the two teams is the Steelers' ability to get more out of their running backs. While Curtis Martin out-rushed Jerome Bettis in this game 72 yards to 57, the Steelers used the play-action pass to set up their offense. The Jets didn't. By using the play-action and having safeties bite on fake handoffs, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger has a better chance to get a few big plays downfield. Although Roethlisberger completed only nine of 19 passes in this game, three of them went for 21 yards or more. Chad Pennington was struggling with his ability to throw deep coming off a rotator cuff injury and ended up with three interceptions. The weather will be a little colder than their last meeting, and the winds of Heinz Field will affect Pennington more than Roethlisberger. The Steelers will also have Plaxico Burress, who should give them even more opportunities to get the ball downfield. The Steelers can choose between Bettis and Duce Staley now that Staley has recovered from his hamstring injury. The score of the last meeting was 3-3 heading into the final quarter when the Steelers took total control of the game. Pennington can't afford to make mistakes and commit turnovers. Don't expect Jets defensive end John Abraham to play. Though he's practicing, he's five weeks into a knee injury that usually takes six to eight weeks to heal. If he plays against the Steelers, it would be an unbelievably courageous effort on his part.
• St. Louis Rams at Atlanta Falcons, Saturday, 8 ET: The Rams have to figure out a way to stop Falcons quarterback Michael Vick. They failed in their first meeting, a 34-17 Falcons victory in the Georgia Dome. Vick completed 14 of 19 passes for 179 yards and a touchdown and rushed for 109 yards on 12 carries. The game was closer than the score, though. The Rams rallied from a 14-point deficit in the third quarter to tie the game heading into the fourth quarter. But things fell apart for the Rams after a Warrick Dunn touchdown run that gave the Falcons a 24-17 lead. On the ensuing kickoff, the Rams were called for unsportsmanlike conduct, forcing them to start from their 10. Falcons defensive end Patrick Kerney sacked Marc Bulger at the Rams 1-yard line. On the next play, defensive end Brady Smith blind-sided Bulger, forcing an interception that was caught by Smith for a touchdown. Ball game. This is a better Rams team than the one that started the season. Their defense is coming on because of more aggressive play along the defensive line. Defensive end Bryce Fisher is hot. Jimmy Kennedy is becoming a force in the interior. The linebacking corps is playing better. After allowing 27.2 point a game during the first 11 games, the Rams have allowed 18.8 during their last six. Obviously, the Rams are a good offensive team. Getting improved play from the defense gives them a good chance. The key stat, though, will be turnovers. The turnover ratio for the Rams is minus-24, and teams that make that many turnovers without creating them usually don't go very far in the playoffs. Bulger is getting better each week, but it will be hard for him to overcome a two-or-three turnover game.
• Minnesota Vikings at Philadelphia Eagles, Sunday, 1 ET: The Vikings are great theater. They have their biggest win in years, upsetting the Packers in Green Bay, and the talk is about Randy Moss' fake moon touchdown celebration. While Moss is carrying the headlines, the real story is how healthy the Vikings will be going into this game. They left everything on the field Sunday in Lambeau. It was a physical game on a frozen field, and the Vikings are aching. The Eagles, meanwhile, are fresh. But are they too fresh? They haven't played a meaningful snap in a month, having rested starters for the final two games of the regular season and during the bye week. That might lead to a slow start for the Eagles, who have some questions heading into this game. The offense isn't the same without wide receiver Terrell Owens, and Andy Reid didn't let Donovan McNabb get used to not having Owens. Brian Westbrook has to get his timing down after not doing anything for almost a month. The Eagles won the first meeting, 27-16, on Sept. 20, but the Vikings gave the Eagles one of their toughest games of the season. Daunte Culpepper threw for 343 yards and a touchdown. The Vikings had 410 yards of offense to the Eagles 317. For time of possession, it wasn't close. The Vikings had the ball for almost 38 minutes compared to the Eagles 22. The difference was the efficiency of McNabb, who hit tight end L.J. Smith for an 11-yard touchdown and Owens for a 45-yard touchdown. If the Vikings have anything left from their victory over the Packers, this could be a pretty good game.
• Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots, Sunday, 4:30 ET: There are four reasons that the Colts have a chance to get over the hump against the Patriots and they involve injuries and rule adjustments. The rules adjustment is in the passing offense. Officials are tightly enforcing illegal contact and the Patriots secondary is a patchwork of undrafted rookies, wide receivers and linebackers playing safety. The three key injuries involve cornerbacks Ty Law and Tyrone Poole and defensive end Richard Seymour. Law and Poole are on injured reserve and their absences will make it tough to contain the Colts passing offense. Law has had success in the past against Marvin Harrison. Now, there is no one player who can match up against Harrison. Seymour has a knee injury, and no one knows for sure whether he will play. Take three key defenders away from any team and it will be hard to match the 27-24 victory the Patriots had in the opener. But, the Patriots are at home, and they do have Bill Belichick calling the shots. The Patriots have always had an edge on Peyton Manning. In Manning's past four games at New England, he has a quarterback rating of 56, has completed only 54.9 percent of his passes, and has thrown just five touchdowns and 11 interceptions. What's usually lost in translation is how well Tom Brady plays against the Colts. He's 5-0 against them with a 99 quarterback rating. He'll have homefield advantage, and the Colts defense will be in a deep zone most of the game trying to minimize big plays. In some ways, this is a Super Bowl quality matchup. The Patriots could be coming to the end of an era and they want to secure their place as a dynasty. Offensive coordinator Charlie Weis is off to Notre Dame next season. Defensive coordinator Romeo Crennel could be Cleveland's next coach. Law may not be back next season and he's considered one of the team's best defenders.

SDCC: "Gotham" Cast, Producers Tease Court of Owls, Cult of the Joker in S3
Comic Books, TV
X-Men writer Chris Claremont gets the Graphic NYC treatment this week: A stylish photograph by Seth Kushner and an in-depth interview with Christopher Irving. And this is just part one. Claremont starts out with an account of what might have been: His first foray into comics was thanks to a required internship while he was a student at Bard College. Not sure of what to do, he asked family friend Al Jaffee if he could do an internship at Mad Magazine.
"As it turned out, he went to my parents and said 'There is no way in hell I'm going to recommend your son for an intern—Do you know what we do? Do you know what happens when we get together? You'd never forgive me!'
"He said 'I'm friends with Stan Lee. Would you be willing to work for Marvel?' and I said 'Hell, yes.'"
"So, Al called Stan, Stan called me, and I told him I'd work for free. Stan, and Marvel, were never one to turn down a free lunch in those days, and he said 'Come in and be a gopher for two months.'"
The rest, as they say, is history, and the interview that follows is a must for anyone interested in the inner workings of Marvel Comics back in the day.
"So, Al called Stan, Stan called me, and I told him I'd work for free. Stan, and Marvel, were never one to turn down a free lunch in those days, and he said 'Come in and be a gopher for two months.'"
"Then I spent the next thirty years re-writing the same X-men story over and over again."
Why do fans insist on tearing down old pros who gave us so much good stuff over the years? So Chris Claremont lost you somewhere along the way — that doesn't change the fact that a good portion of the comics during his run on Uncanny X-Men were stone-cold classics.
It's like dismissing everything Steve Ditko ever did because Speedball sucked. What's the point?
Interesting interview, though.
The same X-Men story that sold and sold and sold.

....you have to take your glasses off to put it on. What you do with your glasses while you use both hands to put on your helmet is not always easy. Recommended for people who don't need glasses.
Just started riding with my boyfriend, so was looking for an inexpensive helmet. This fit the bill. It was comfortable and I assume it would do the trick protection-wise, should I need it.
When I was looking to buy my first motorcycle helmet, I thought about taking the cheaper side because they all are DoT certified. So I attempted to buy the Fuel full face helmet. size medium.
When it arrived, in fact there was a LARGE helmet inside the box. Even though marked on the package M. So I attempted to return it to my local walmart. However when I pulled the boxes off the shelves, no matter what the sizing was on the box. The helmets were all the wrong sizes. One might think, they are just randomly tossing helmets into boxes, and shipping them out to retal sites. After walmart clear up the mess with the mispacked items, they found me a medium sized helmet. when looking at the helmet, the white fuel logo in the front, does not exsit on any of the helmets i've seen. Only a faded grey fuel marking on the rear. It did have 5 air vents, which are nice, and provide overall decent cooling. On the road, it provides a nice field of view. And the helmet fits snug. But a huge turnoff however, when you reach 60mph, the visor lets a surprising amount of air underneath it. So you might as well just only use teh visor to keep bugs, larger dust, and birds away. Not to forget, you need saftey glasses under you helmet, to protect from the wind. So this leads me to the visor, I tried to replace it with a "smoked" visor. Good Luck, as the dont exist. Other shopping sites claim they are "out of stock" while fuel's, company website offers them. Yet when you call them, it offers no way of buying one. So. If you was a cheap helmet, just to pass your state law. This might be suited for you. Just keep in mind, at highway speed the wind issue presents itself. A user going into entry riding however, These might be a pain, and turn riders away from helmets entirely. Fork up the extra cash. It's cheap for a reason.
