The Master Planner
Altruis the Sufferer in western Nagrand has asked that you recover the Master Planner's Blueprints.
All forge camps have a master planner. The master planner dictates what types of structures are present at a forge camp and how each structure is situated. Moreover, this information is kept on a set of blueprints that the planner carries around on their person.
We need the master planner's blueprints. Armed with such exacting information, we could persuade an acquaintance of mine to lend some assistance.
Find the mo'arg master planner and take his blueprints. He will be stationed behind the forges.

Parras de la Fuente (Spanish ; is a city located in the southern part of the Mexican state of Coahuila. The city serves as the municipal seat of the surrounding Parras Municipality, which has an area of 9,271.7 km2 (3,579.8 sq mi).
At the census of 2010, the population was 45,423. There are a large number of factories that produce denim, including a Dickies factory, and Parras is also a wine-making place. This region is the oldest wine-making in the Americas.
The former Hacienda del Rosario is the place where Parras de la Fuente was founded in 1598, by Capitán Antón Martín de Zapata. There, the revolutionary and President of Mexico Francisco I. Madero was born in 1873.
In 1846, during the Mexican-American War, Parras was held by U.S. troops. Also, French forces were defeated there in 1866 during the French intervention in Mexico.
The local legend claims that the oldest winery in the Americas is in Parras de la Fuente, and was founded by Lorenzo García in the 16th century. The origin of this myth is none other than Jose Vasconcelos and his biography of Evaristo Madero, but recent research has debunked this assertion. Even earlier research has proven that during most of the 16th century many wineries were founded in central New Spain, Peru, Chile, and modern-day Argentina.

The Jonas Brothers: 3-D Action Heroes
The Jonas Brothers hit downtown Los Angeles yesterday to shoot scenes for their latest 3-D movie, set to air on the Disney Channel in February 2009.
The bros hopped, skipped and jumped for scenes that look more action-packed than what they filmed for the same flick in Central Park this summer.
Unlike that other day of filming, there was sadly no scene with Kevin Jonas slipping a hot dog to Taylor Swift. And no, that's not what the kids are calling it these days.
Especially these kids. For them, a wiener is just something you pop in a bun and eat with purity ring-adorned hands. Hold the relish.
This segment of the movie is clearly bro-heavy, with no room for girls. Which is just fine. For chaste men, the Jonas Brothers certainly get enough female attention.

Lakers clinch NBA title
The Los Angeles Lakers clinched the NBA title on Wednesday with a 113-107 victory over the New Jersey Nets.
Shaquille O'Neal's Lakers went into the game at the Continental Airlines Arena in Rutherford with a 3-0 lead in the NBA Finals.
They knew a 4-0 lead would ensure the seventh sweep in NBA Finals history and the first since the Houston Rockets beat the Orlando Magic in the minimum number of games in 1995.
O'Neal turned in another dominating performance, scoring 34 points.
The "three-peat", and the manner in which it was achieved, confirmed the Lakers dynasty and elevates the team, their coach Phil Jackson and O'Neal to places among the all-time greats.
With the Lakers' clinical dissection of the Nets, Jackson surpasses Pat Riley for most career playoff wins with 156 and clinches his ninth championship ring, marking him out as a coaching legend alongside Boston Celtic great Red Auerbach, whose mark he equalled.
Only five teams in NBA history have strung together three consecutive champion seasons and Jackson has now coached three of them having also done it twice with the Michael Jordan led Chicago Bulls from 1991-to-1993 and 1996-to-1998.
O'Neal, meanwhile, was an overpowering presence dictating play whenever he was on the court.
His tour de force performance earned him a third consecutive MVP award and confirmed his credentials as the dominant big man of all-time.
Despite a painful arthritic right big toe, O'Neal embarked on a rim-rattling rampage registering 15 post-season double-doubles.
Through the finals O'Neal was virtually unstoppable, the hulking 7-foot, 1-inch, 330-pound centre scoring 145 points in four games.
The Nets stepped onto the court for Game Four aware history was against a comeback, no team having ever clawed their way back from a 3-0 deficit to win an NBA playoff series.

Natalie Portman Birthed This Guy's Son
"Bonjour, bitches!"
To the anguish of nerds the world over, Natalie Portman has given birth to Benjamin Millepied's son, according to People. And exactly as you'd expect from a Jewish vegan actress and French ballet divo, they've chosen not to reveal the name of their progeny, so just assume it's something really pretentious like Hiram Baryshnikov Alouette Millepied The Thousand and Oneth. "Non, non, non, those swine shall not know my swan prince's name until they dance ze Nutcracker!" is how I like to pretend that conversation went.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth, TR's daughter, she of the famous blue gown and doyenne of Washington society in her day, reportedly kept a sofa pillow in her salon bearing the cross-stitched legend: "If you don't have anything nice to say about anybody, come sit next to me."
In a moment we'll plump onto an adjacent pillow and have a heart-to-heart about the Santa Fe Opera's brand new double-bill of Mozart's The Impresario, his satirical cream-puff about operatic rivalries, and Stravinsky's tender fairy-fable, Le Rossignol. But first, a word or two about operatic double-bills and why they can be notoriously problematic. Not always, of course—witness the pairing of that sure-fire hyper-verismo duo, Cavalleria Rusticana and Pagliacci. Against that, though, consider the infamous 1935 Met pile-up of Puccini's rib-tickler, Gianni Schicchi, with believe it or not, Strauss' Salome.
The SFO has several double outings under its belt, commencing in 1957 with an unlikely pair: Pergolesi's La Serva Padrona and the premier of Marvin David Levy's The Tower. Bold first-season programming, of course, but less than impressive. The most successful double-bill hereabouts was the 1973 staging of Ravel's L'Enfant et les Sortilèges along with the company's hitherto most recent production of Le Rossignol, a magical, imaginative fairytale combo that clicked thematically and stylistically.
Even the 1914 premier—unsuccessful—in Paris of Le Rossignol was prefaced by Rimsky-Korsakov's Le Coq d'Or (incidentally and irrelevantly my first opera age 7; I was hooked). Diaghilev staged both as opera-ballets with dancers onstage and singers in the pit.
Expectations ran high about this new, bright-idea Mozart/Stravinsky pairing, both composers with long-standing connections with the SFO, and both captivating works with the potential to provide another enchanted evening.
The concept sounded more than OK on paper: Mozart's competitive sopranos would vie for the plum role of the Nightingale in the Stravinsky work, the impresario himself would assume the part of the emperor of China, and parallels aplenty would emerge between the personnel of both operas. Mozart's piece is neither holy writ nor tamper-resistant. Its problem: only 20-some minutes of music. Too few notes, Mr. Mozart.
So, augmentation happened. The SFO commissioned Ranjit Bolt to dash out a new libretto for The Impresario, one linking it with Le Rossignol, and then fleshed out Mozart's meager musical offering with a handful of brief pieces borrowed from the composer's catalog. And—hey presto—a great gallumphing pastiche emerged, purporting to twin Mozart with Stravinsky. The thing runs for 65 long, long minutes, dwarfing the evening's much more economical second half.
That's not the fault of those musical insertions. There's a tongue-twisting patter song for baritone; an aria from Don Giovanni in a most surprising context; "Bona nox!," a (tsk) scatological canon à 4; and most significantly, the hair-raising coloratura showpiece, "No, che non sei capace."
As staged though, it's a frantic, Hellzapoppin' farrago—all over-the-top sight gags, double entendres, mugging and mayhem—that makes one long for the finale. That aforementioned showpiece, well and truly sung by Brenda Rae, gets lost amid her jogging about with a blue boa, and the sparkling overture vanishes under nonstop onstage mimed japery.
Blame not the singers. Bruce Sledge is the capable tenor, here christened Vladimir Vladimirescu, and Rae plays his pungent wife, Vlada. Erin Morley sings the rival soprano with enormous aplomb, and Meredith Arwady makes a massive impression as a third competitor for top billing in l'affaire Stravinsky. Anthony Michaels-Moore enacts the Diaghilevian impresario, with rubber-faced Kevin Burdette as his business manager. Soon enough, the onstage whimsy turns into whamsy.
When the action shifts to China, Sledge is now Stravinsky's Fisherman, Morley sings the Nightingale peerlessly, Rae is the Cook, Michaels-Moore the Emperor, and Arwady's remarkable true contralto personifies Death. Again, no complaints about the singing. Kenneth Montgomery leads a crisp account of the Mozart and a skillful, richly detailed reading of the Russian opera, notable for its extended orchestral passages. It's sung in Russian, by the way.
To return, then, to Longworth's forthright pillow and to saying the not-so-nice. Take that production team. Please. Granted that Le Rossignol's spare plot—Nightingale charms Emperor; Emperor, stupidly bewitched by Japanese mechanical bird, banishes Nightingale; Nightingale's song rescues Emperor from Death—lacks much drama. It's all about the music, Stravinsky's opalescent score, and the accompanying exotic, should-be spectacular chinoiserie.
Director Michael Gieleta's self-indulgent "concept" nearly ruins both. His Rossignol opens with the comic tableau that closed the Mozart, its goggle-eyed cast huddled center stage in the impresario's office. Then, during Stravinsky's timeless pianissimo orchestral introduction, the singers frantically change costume and rearrange the set (an ugly one by James Macnamara), drowning out the music and destroying the crystalline mood the opera proposes.
Worse yet, Gieleta's showy coup de théâtre returns at opera's end when the cast reassumes that pointless comic tableau, again ignoring the delicacy and stillness of Stravinsky's conclusion. Well, I could go on, Mrs. Longworth, about frenetic choreography (Seán Curran) and Fabio Toblini's costumes (fun for Mozart, not-so-much for Stravinsky). Your pillow invites candor. Though this SFO production disappoints in many ways, it still succeeds entirely in one vital element.
The voice of the Nightingale. Erin Morley in a could-be Paul Poiret gown. The real thing.

Dear Mr. Cheap,
You know exactly who you are so I don't feel a need to name you. While I know that you think that you are being sly and saving yourself a lot of money, let me say that your true nature shows through loud and clear. This would not be an issue except that you call yourself "frugal" when in fact all you are is "cheap." In claiming to be something that you are not, you do a great disservice to all of us that are truly frugal. You see, many people have the impression that cheap and frugal are the same thing because of people like you.
Let's lay it all out from the start. First and foremost, you get on everyone's nerves to no end because cheap people are annoying. Me saying that you are "annoying" is being quite diplomatic about it and I'm sure that many others would use a few more choice words that can't be printed in this article. No, they probably don't say it directly to your face because they actually have some manners, but I assure you that they say plenty about how they feel when you aren't around.
As an example, when we go out to eat as a group, none of us cares whether we split the bill by the amount each person bought or divide the bill equally among us. What we find extremely annoying is having you immediately grab the bill each time when it comes and deciding which way we will pay that day depending on what is less costly to you. Furthermore, if someone leaves an extra generous tip in their share, that doesn't mean that just because you have chosen to be in charge that it is acceptable to only leave a 10% tip and pocket the difference.
I wish that I could say it stopped there, but unfortunately your cheapness shines through in many more places. While you complain that you are overweight, this is a direct result of you being cheap. There are many people in the office that are kind enough to bring in cookies, pastries and candy from time to time to share with everyone. This is by no means expected, although the kindness is always appreciated so it's not an issue that you never do this for others. However, this does not mean that once you have calculated that everyone has had one of these snacks that the rest are yours. In fact, I am probably being generous in assuming that you calculate that far. While it is obvious that you don't realize it, people don't bring the snacks so you can replace your meal with them on those days.
In the same vein, when the office manager places free things on the "free for anyone" table, this doesn't mean that everything given away is exclusively yours. There are others who would enjoy taking home a freebie from time to time, but since you pass by the table every hour on the hour, nobody else has a chance. This alienates you among your office workers and it is another reason why you may feel that nobody here particularly likes you. Another little hint, it could also be a prime factor in why you don't have any friends which you constantly like to complain about.
But by far the most annoying habit that shows your cheapness through and through is your belief that in the name of saving money that common rules don't apply to you. Just because the office provides free toilet paper for the bathrooms doesn't mean that you are free to take it. Not only is it theft (I'm sure that your friends and family will be exceedingly proud of you when your 15 minutes of fame comes to you upon your photo appearing in the local newspaper for being arrested for stealing toilet paper to try and save a buck), it's a real pain when I've finished going to the bathroom to find there is no toilet paper in the stall — or any of the other stalls.
I would probably be willing to forgive these transgressions if I knew you weren't making a lot of money and money was tight, but the fact that you make more than most of us (and definitely more than I do) only perpetuates our hostility toward you even more.
Being cheap is not a badge of honor that you seem to think it is. What is so pathetic is that you believe that being cheap is saving you money, but in reality it's just making you look cheap. There is a difference between getting the lowest price and getting the best value for the price. Cheap people always go for the lowest price while frugal people will always look for the best value. This is the fundamental difference that you have failed to master which can be seen in the way you decorate your office and actions you take.
Stop pretending that you are wise with money and nobody but you understands what it takes to save a buck these days. We do and we know a fraud when we see one.
The rest of the office

Mental Holocaust: The Path To Pathocracy
A coup d'état is forceful way to overthrow a government. They happen all over the world. At the moment there is a coup happening in the United States where our form of Government is being changed to satisfy those who control the global markets using Despotism.
They want to continue their politics as usual without setting them aside so that they can understand that the rules of the game are changing at a rapid rate and that at this time in history the United States government will have to play within the boundaries of a global agenda that has been put into play by despots that have rendered your ability to have life liberty and the pursuit of happiness useless.
Despotism is so alien to the American mind that we foolishly believe we have banned it and outgrown it, and that, like slavery, horse-drawn carriages and smallpox, it is a forgotten relic of the distant past never to be seen again. But though it is contrary to our national mythology to say so, despotism is everywhere in human relations, if not uniform. It can appear in the workplace, in relationships and in family situations. We are so used to it than when it appears in our government we tend to accept it as a "necessary evil." However allowing it to continue creates a whole group of problems. Many of them are now appearing in the mainstream. The inaction of the people is unprecedented.
The reason no one wants to believe that America is plunging towards despotism is because we have "image and action parameters" that determine whether or not we are in a democracy or despotism. We all have an image of dictators and the horrible things they have done.
The problem that faces us is not the outward face of tyranny. We see the obvious indicators that there is a path being laid towards pathocracy however the success of tyranny is not based in the threat of rights being taken away, violence or being imprisoned in FEMA detainment camps.
Subtlety has been part of the success of it and people ignore it because it is not obvious to them.
The conspiracy of bringing down the United States is not a secret conspiracy but an open conspiracy. Tyranny succeeds because the victims become "willing executioners" in the absence of better choices.
We have all been duped into believing in the smooth pabulum that has been created by consultants, ad agencies and spin doctors that downplay and belittle the reality of tyranny. They blind side the public with issues like abortion, immigration, gay marriage and global warming. Things like constitutional rights are no longer important to the average American citizen. Fear has determined that the constitution is a worn out document that is a death sentence.
The mainstream narrative that supports the open conspiracy of tyranny has gained it's power now because they have learned that in order to hang on to the information monopoly they must demonize those who ask questions. They purposefully espouse the notion of silencing anyone who questions them and go to great measures to report that any truth movement or conspiracy theorist promotes an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically-based violence or to advance a political, religious view that could abruptly disrupt the social engineering that they create.
With the proclamation of the 23 orders for gun laws and the medical surveillance mechanisms to monitor the mental health of gun owners it is obvious that America has been led to support what is known as the "unitary executive policy", where the President possesses a level of supremacy over the other respective branches of the U.S. government.
We witnessed the media driven apotheosis of Barack Obama where a man who was already quite enamored with himself was elevated to godhood and messianic stature. Obama never discouraged this apotheosis, he relished it. He created an entire enterprise based on hope, change and messianic charisma.
During his campaign he was pitched as the deliverer, prophet, and pipeline to divine intervention. He had single-handedly convinced an entire nation that he could make things better by reviving a dead economy, reverse draconian proposals from the previous administration, create a socialized health care system and win the peace in a war effort that was created on fraudulent exaggeration.
None of those things happened. In fact, during the Obama leadership is obviously being controlled by very powerful men who create false undocumented evidence, and also spin the narrative in order to provide a way to open a dialogue where the American people will surrender voluntarily the very rights that were given to them in order to protect their freedoms.
Zbigniew Brzezinski is the author of a book that should have been read by every American interested in the future of this country. Entitled The Technetronic Era, it was commissioned by the Club of Rome. The book is an open announcement of the manner and methods to be used to control the United States in the future. Brzezinski, speaking for the Committee of 300 said the United States was moving "into an era unlike any of its predecessors; toward a Technetronic era that could easily become a dictatorship." A dictatorship that could be forged through mass mind control, electronic control, and the devaluation of basic needs in society.
It seems that what Brzezinski was doing was giving the blueprint for asserting social and political control over the individual so that they will be compelled to obey the "master". It is now possible to assert almost continuous control over every citizen and to maintain up-to-date files, containing even the most personal details about health and personal behavior of every citizen in addition to the more customary data.
To quote Brzezinski:
"These files are subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities. Power will gravitate into the hands of those who control information. Our existing institutions will be supplanted by pre-crisis management institutions, the task of which will be to identify in advance likely social crises and to develop programs to cope with them. Any crisis will be "cured" through a new and totalitarian rule."
Brzezinski is a relic of the cold war and literally controls and advises Barack Obama on his foreign policy. He despises Russia and China and as you can pretty well figure out, he is also a great campaigner for mass mind initiatives that will suppress open society and keep us enslaved by our own greed and desire for material well being. He has been involved in the mass mind alchemy since the days of Jimmy Carter. He is an advocate of the committee of 300 agendas that create marked social change. These changes led us into the policies and mandates that we see now.
This all began with the driving fear of foreign terrorism. Now in the era of Obama the terrorists are our veterans, constitutionalists, conspiracy theorists and second amendment supporters. The war on terror has evolved into a war on extremism of all breeds. The war now is at home and the shadow of a civil war looms at home.
Terrorism and terrorists were cited repeatedly in sound bites at both the Democratic and Republican gatherings and by news organizations and candidates but there never was any serious discussion of the problem of how to solve terrorism. It is a trigger phrase that keeps Americans in a cloud of anxiety. It is like a psychological inoculation that stings every time it is injected into the public psyche.
Now the terrorist is the American citizen with an assault weapon. Every American will be under medical surveillance for any signs or symptoms of extremist behaviors that would warrant gun confiscation. This type of medical surveillance will move beyond gun ownership and may lead to genetics directives that could include reproductive laws, infanticide, and doctor assisted suicide.
Many people now may not see the potential of how far this surveillance state can go, however with enough trauma based shocks to the system like school shootings and terrorist attacks at home there will be the proposed need for mass incarcerations, biometric tracking and the use of electronic chip identification.
Fishbowl shootings, subway bombings, bio terror and so called extremist fears are all part of a mass trauma based control program that set us up for a master and slave mentality. If we do as the master says the pain will stop. If we give the master what he wants there will be no monsters to destroy our lives. In some respects many Americans have developed a dissociative disorder. This is a survival mechanism that is in response to trauma and abuse. This why we do not see many people respond violently to passive attacks on rights and freedoms. We accept it as the "perfect system" of punishment and reward. The question is what happens when the reward is no longer given?
Each time Americans are faced with a crisis or fear we are wounded inside. And the psychological sting continues to linger even after years of thinking that we have completely healed from an attack. The sad thing is that once we are healed we realize that we are still at war and live in a surveillance state.
Barack Obama had claimed that with his presidency there would be a New Dawn in America. He said that with this New Dawn there would be most definitely a time of transition, but warned there would be risks involved.
He called it a "time of vulnerability" where vanquishing old threats like Osama Bin laden would give way to discovering new threats at home.
The language of fear has become common place and now some Americans will do anything outside of their morality to survive. They are participating now in paving the road to pathocracy.
A pathocracy is developed during the interaction of normal human ignorance and weakness. An extremely active group of psychologically deviant individuals will then exploit the ignorance and weakness. The school shooting at Newtown left us emotionally weak and the media was used as a tool to exploit that weakness and encourage ignorance, and it also demonized those who questioned the incident.
Just as it is normal in the life of any human to experience a decline in psychological or physiological resistance, the pressure to act irrationally to such crises may be caused by the influence of the media, a heightened hysterical condition, or a general spiritual crisis in the environment.
There are studies in ponerology that show pathocracy as the result of a macro social infestation of a viral meme that is detrimental to the consensus and weakens it.
The resulting weakness in proper reasoning and critical thinking skills leaves an opening for the activity of psychopaths and characteropaths. Their influence then results in a further decline in moral and intellectual functioning.
The plan for gun confiscation and voluntary surrender will be the first step in securing a despotic pathocracy. Then there will be the surveillance apparatus creating criminals who are merely people who fall victim to secret laws that are unknown to the citizenry. Then we will be a pathocracy well crafted where workers can no longer strike, where the supreme court becomes futile and private property is limited to the privileged. There will be more class warfare, increased preoccupation with race hatred, religious intolerance, and fear of domestic terrorism and extremism. We have had it beaten into us that we have to accept a "new dawn" even if it is not mentally healthy for us.
The future of the economy is a global flushing of the banks in order to centralize more. A single currency will be created and participating states would have it distributed to them by private banks.
The crisis is global, so there is now a reason to create a global government that runs checks and balances on all banks in all countries. The implementation of new measures is inevitable and the global currency is being created and is ready to be distributed. This is a global concern and as you will witness in the near future leaders will act in other capacities and not just as "leaders" of countries. They will act as "kings," "monarchs" and "magistrates."
All of your actions and choices then benefit the state.
Remember that a Luciferian system in dry dock eliminates any chance of real choice. You are damned if you do and damned if you don't. You then find yourself rationalizing your lack of choice by claiming that you acted on what you felt was the lesser of two evils. This is what pathocracy is – allowing for the adjustment of evil for the sake of social acceptance.
Remember everything is permitted by those who have control over the money. Now there is no doubt as to who is more powerful – whomever the banks decide to fund. Whoever decides to "play their game." There is a money trail for every war, election and terrorist attack and yes, even every school or mall shooting that brings the terror to your neighborhood.
You need to remember that the sick irony is that while we were told that we needed the Patriot Act I and II to keep terrorists form attacking us. The terror still found a way to arrive, this time it was carried out not by Muslim extremists but by American extremists which makes it all look like evil has found a willing servant and that it can now be carried out even in a system where so called checks and balances took away civil rights of the individual. Now you see that we are trapped in a prison system where the crazy people are our wardens.
This New World Order is not some prophetically speculative or futuristic fairy tale, but a real world reality. It is not some "wacko conspiracy theory" advanced by the fringe of society like the powers that be would have us believe. It is now a blatant and fully reported because we the people demanded "Change." As I had said before, this is a New Dawn and what it entails is a a projection of what each individual thinks they will be rewarded. The slave has been told he will be rewarded for his servitude.
Now unfortunately what is happening can't be reversed using normal methods and soon the entire nation will know that there will have to be some sacrifices in order to maintain a government that is not based in pathocracy.
This 'New Dawn' has been a long time in the making, its pieces fitting into place from divergent realms and different players. Gears and levers of history have been moved and adjusted, and a large-scale game of Cognitive dissonance has been played. Using real nightmare scenarios using real currency and real assets shifting hands – a game with very real winners and losers. It has now arrived and many people will be psychologically bruised as the "change" does not fit their expectations.
The goal is nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. They will distribute shelter, food, and water to which they feel should receive it.
In more general terms, the trauma-based terror programming and the removal of any reward unless other criteria are met is undoubtedly the greatest mental holocaust of any age.
[…] Tonight on Ground Zero, we are very excited to have one of the most important minds in the fields of alternative history and conspiracy research: the one and only Jordan Maxwell! An esoteric scholar that has been "bringing light into a world of darkness" for five decades, Jordan will join Clyde to help break down the 'New Dawn' imagery and symbolism surrounding us all. This is a 'Mental Holocaust: The Path To Pathocracy'! […]

Pain and pain management is a complex area of medicine. There are numerous treatment options from medication and therapies to mind-body techniques. Pain can be treated with over-the-counter medicine if it is a milder form, or stronger medications such as muscle relaxants, anti-anxiety drugs, antidepressants, strong painkillers or steroid injections at the site of pain. Other methods of pain management may include surgical implants, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation therapy (TENS), bioelectric therapy, physical therapy, exercise, psychological treatment and alternative therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic treatment and massage. Anesthesia is a way to control pain during surgery or a procedure by using medicine called anesthetics. During labor and childbirth, local anesthesia, an epidural or general anesthesia might be used.

OLYMPIC champion Sally Pearson is so scared of failing a drug tests she won't even take dietary supplements - it's a culture of fear she says is clearly lacking in Australia's highest-paid sports.
While Pearson is subjected to dozens of drug tests each year in and out of competition, she said she was "flabbergasted" to discover that AFL players only averaged about one test a year.
"That's unbelievable. You think every sport is equal and should have the same sort of rules and regulations," the 26-year-old told The Sunday Telegraph.
"Last year I was tested 11 times outside of competition, you know those testers when they come to your door at six o'clock in the morning and say 'we are here for a drug test'.
"I had 11 of those. Then you have all your in-competition tests as well. I am flabbergasted by it [by the lack of tests in AFL]."
AFL statistics show about 1000 tests on 800 players are conducted under the anti-doping code each year, and include a combination of urine, blood and EPO testing.
Pearson said she has always avoided supplements and won her Olympic gold for the 100m hurdle on hard work and "fruit and veg".
"I don't take any supplements," Pearson said.
"You can get your dietary requirements through the fruit and veg in the local supermarket - you should not take anything that is not guaranteed to be safe. I have always done that.
"Even ASADA can't guarantee what is in supplements. If there is no guarantee, why bother? It is too risky. I freak out every single time I get a cold - what do I take? Only Panadol. It's part of what you do. If you want to be an elite athlete you have to be careful about what you put in your body.
"For athletes like myself who work so frickin hard every day - I don't get the same recognition as those who are under suspicion of using drugs and are getting paid millions of dollars to do their sport. It now emerges they are maybe cheating - it is really disappointing."

Netflix Users: Everything Is About to Change
I thought we were friends, Netflix. In fact, you were my only friend. The only one I trusted. I skipped bowling night with the fellas in favor of a night home with you so many times. And how do you repay me?
Apparently, Netflix has decided that the wonderful option of Unlimited Streaming teamed with Unlimited One-DVD-at-a-time DVD Rentals for $9.99 is no longer a possibility. They are separating the two options and pricing each at $7.99 (or, if you want two DVDs at a time, $11.99). The option we all currently hold so dear will amount to $15.98 per month once the changes are in effect: September 1 for existing members, and immediately for anyone who signs up after this point.
This will be Netflix's first time offering a DVD-only option; the company rationalizes that they never anticipated the success of this type of option, which they offered as a $2 add-on to the $7.99 Unlimited Streaming deal (the pairing soon became the norm), and that $2 to supply DVD rentals through the mail is not a frugal choice on their behalf.
But what about us, Netflix? The loyal followers of the major world religion that you have become? Unlimited Streaming cannot exist on its own to ample satisfaction at the state it is in now: the majority of movies and TV series available through the company are only offered via DVD rental. If you do intend to carry out this plan, Netflix, I beseech that you at least amp up the Unlimited Streaming selection. At the very least, throw in The Wire!
So what can we do, existing Netflix subscribers? WATCH EVERY MOVIE EVER IN THE NEXT MONTH AND A HALF. That's my plan, anyway… further bowling nights will have to wait.

Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle: 'It's just another year'
Toronto Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle told reporters Thursday "it's just another year" when asked about whether he was feeling any added pressure for the upcoming season.
Carlyle faced questions about his job security last season as Toronto went 2-12 in its last 14 games and missed the playoffs for the eighth time in the past nine seasons. The team signed him to a two-year contract extension in May, but three assistant coaches were not retained.
The 58-year-old said Thursday "we have to change", and that attempts to get the Maple Leafs to play more of a puck-possession game last season were derailed, in his view, by injuries and suspensions.

"It's just another year as far as I'm concerned," said Carlyle, in an extended meeting with the press. "I have a job to do. I have an opportunity to change this group, to earn the respect back for this hockey club."
Carlyle became Toronto's coach late in the 2012 season and has gone 70-62-16 in his time with the team, including a playoff appearance in the strike-shortened 2012-13 season.
Before joining the Maple Leafs, Carlyle coached the Anaheim Ducks for six-plus seasons, leading the team to a Stanley Cup championship and five total playoff appearances before he was fired in 2011.
Toronto reported to training camp on Thursday.

The former 'Transformers' star is in talks to join the cast of Judd Apatow's next directing vehicle where Rudd and Mann will reprise their 'Knocked Up' roles.
Megan Fox is likely to make a return to big budget Hollywood movie with "Knocked Up" spin-off. The 24-year-old beauty who parted ways with "Transformers" film franchise last year is said to be in talks to star in the untitled Judd Apatow project.
A next directing vehicle for Apatow, the movie will reunite Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann who will reprise their "Knocked Up" roles as Pete and Debbie respectively. Fox's role, meanwhile, is still kept under wraps, so The Hollywood Reporter says.
The movie will take place several years after "Knocked Up" and focus on the married couple, Pete and Debbie. Apatow, who also writes the script, has not shared much about the film, but he previously said, "People were really taken by those characters," about why he would make the spin-off project. He added, "I think people really emotionally connected to the challenges of their marriage and I thought, you know, they were only a small portion of the movie."
Megan Fox's latest starring vehicle that got a wide release is "Jonah Hex". She also stars in "Passion Play" which has received "dismal" reviews at recent Toronto International Film Festival, and will open in limited U.S. theaters on May 6. She is currently in production for "Friends with Kids".

(April 16, 2010) -- Just four days before it's scheduled to adjourn for the year, the Alaska state legislature Wednesday approved a bill that will lower the controversial head tax from $46 to as little as $19.50 per person.
Although the base head tax will only be lowered to $34.50 per person, Terry Harvey, a spokesman from State Rep. Cathy Munoz's office, says cruise lines will be reimbursed an additional amount each time a ship calls in Juneau, Ketchikan or both. Refunds will total $7 per person for calls in Ketchikan and $8 per person for calls in Juneau; if a sailing calls in both ports (which 75 percent of Alaska cruises do), $15 per person will be refunded to the line, thus reducing the amount from $34.50 to $19.50 per person.
A representative from Princess Cruises tells us that, once the bill is signed by the governor, it won't go into effect until the end of October, meaning none of the passengers booked on this year's itineraries will be affected by the change. However, beginning with the 2011 Alaska season, the line hopes to avoid charging the additional $7, $8 or $15 to passengers in the first place. Royal Caribbean and Holland America both echoed those sentiments.
Last month, Alaska Governor Sean Parnell proposed the agreement to persuade several major cruise lines -- which claimed the tax was unfair and possibly illegal -- to drop a lawsuit they had filed against the state to contest the tariff, which was passed in a 2006 vote by Alaska residents as part of a larger initiative.
According to the Juneau Empire, the most recent bill passed in a 17-3 vote; the majority seems unsurprising, though, given the fact that Alaska expects to see 140,000 fewer passengers this year than it did last year.
Major lines like Royal Caribbean, Princess and Holland America have pulled ships from the region in the past couple of years -- a decline that could seriously impact already-suffering small businesses in the region. Juneau alone is expected to lose more than $25 million in revenue in 2010.
However, in spite of the change, the Juneau Empire also reports that not everyone is happy. Because other factors -- including a lack of proper marketing and promotion for the region, as well as the recently lackluster economic climate -- have also been blamed for Alaska's decline, it remains to be seen whether tourism (cruise tourism, in particular) will pick up in coming years.
But, Harvey is optimistic and states that the cruise lines have officially dropped the suit. He adds, "The next question is: Will we see some redeployment of vessels for 2012?" The agreement between Alaska and the cruise lines encourages, but does not require, lines to return cruise ships to the region.
We'll keep you updated.

Three-time Coretta Scott King Award winner Angela Johnson writes a wrenching, honest audiobook about surviving the unimaginable and finding a way to go on.
Scotty compares herself to tofu: no flavor unless you add something. And it's true that Scotty's friends, Misha and Falcone, and her brother, Keone, make life delicious. But when a terrible accident occurs, Scotty feels responsible for the loss of someone she hardly knew, and the world goes wrong. She cannot tell what is a dream and what is real. Her friends are having a hard time getting through to her and her family is preoccupied with their own trauma. But the prospect of a boy, a dance, and the possibility that everything can fall back into place soon help Scotty realize that she is capable of adding her own flavor to life.
With artfully spare prose, acclaimed and award-winning author Angela Johnson explores the ramifications of unexpected death in this compelling coming-of-age story.

Let's suspend reality for the moment, dismiss the ominous threat of an owner-ordered NBA lockout this summer and peer into the future.
If the Sacramento Kings decide they want to move to Anaheim – or anywhere else – in time for next season, the relocation process is strictly defined.
Tim Frank, senior vice president of NBA basketball communications, said Friday that he would not address hypothetical situations, but he outlined the relocation process that would apply for any team.
Frank said in an e-mail that any team interested in relocating must apply in writing to Commissioner David Stern by March 1 if it wants to play in the new city as soon as the next season.
The commissioner then appoints a relocation committee to study the application and within 120 days provide a report to the NBA Board of Governors, along with the committee's recommendation.
The Board of Governors, comprised of one person (typically the owner) from each of the 30 NBA franchises, then must vote on the application within seven to 30 days after receiving the committee's recommendation. A majority vote of owners is needed to approve the relocation.
If approved, the Board of Governors "also has the right to attach a relocation fee at that time," Frank said, stressing there is no standard fee. (For example, there was a $30 million relocation fee when Seattle's franchise moved to Oklahoma City in 2008, so it's reasonable to assume there would be a similar fee if the Maloof family, which owns the Kings, decided to move its franchise.)
Contrary to widespread published reports, Frank said current NBA rules do not require a relocating team to pay a territorial rights fee to compensate existing teams in the same market. (That means the Maloofs would not have to pay the Lakers and Clippers to move to Anaheim and, theoretically, would make relocation a more appealing proposition.)
The Maloofs openly have been exploring their options and listening to proposals from other cities – San Jose, Seattle, Kansas City and Las Vegas also have expressed interest – because the Kings owners have not been able to secure a new arena in Sacramento to replace the antiquated Arco Arena, renamed Power Balance Pavilion earlier this week.
It is not known how motivated the Maloofs are to leave Sacramento, but there are signs of financial trouble in their business ventures. The Maloof family also owns the Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas, and Bloomberg News Service reported last week that two private investment firms are negotiating to acquire a controlling interest in the hotel after violating a loan agreement.
If the Maloofs are having trouble making payments on outstanding loans – they also have at least $68 million left on a loan with the city of Sacramento and have taken out substantial loans with the NBA – there might be more of a sense of urgency to move to a market with better demographics, more potential corporate sponsors and an NBA-ready arena.
A Sacramento radio station reported this week that the Maloofs met recently with Ducks owner Henry Samueli to discuss his latest proposal to bring the Kings to Honda Center in Anaheim, a proposal that reportedly includes a $100 million loan to the Maloofs.
Michael Schulman, Ducks CEO and Samueli's top business advisor, would not comment on the report, nor would he confirm that the Maloofs and Samueli have met. But Schulman did say, "I'll meet with anybody interested" in talking about an NBA franchise. To me, that means they have met.
Anaheim and San Jose are considered the most likely destinations if the Kings move, because they have NBA-caliber arenas and businessmen with deep pockets willing to help them financially. Billionaire Larry Ellison, the Oracle CEO who unsuccessfully tried to buy the Golden State Warriors and New Orleans Hornets, wants to bring a NBA team to HP Pavilion in San Jose, home of the NHL's Sharks.
At least we should find out in the next six weeks how serious the Maloofs are about moving.
Mulligan, please: After incorrectly predicting the winners in three of last weekend's four NFL wild-card games, I'm exercising columnist prerogative to take another shot.
The So-Called Expert will take the Steelers over the Ravens, the Packers to upset the Falcons (yes, I know Atlanta rarely loses at home), the Bears over the 8-9 Seahawks (sorry, Pete) and the Patriots over the Jets.

Due to cutbacks in the 2004 city budget, the Cambridge Police Departments Special Weapons and Tactics team has, for the moment, stood down, said Chief Richard W. Wayt.
Its not actively training, Wayt said of the SWAT team. Because of the money crunch, its inactive right now. I hope it will, in the future, be brought back to active service.
The seven-member team, reactivated a few years ago under Chief Brian Neff, is highly trained in, among other things, the advanced use of specialized firearms, building entry and clearing tactics and resolution of hostage situations.
Scenarios in which the team may be utilized include the serving and execution of high-risk warrants, confronting armed assailants in businesses, schools and other buildings, searches for jail escapees or other persons sought by officers and the rescue of hostages.
Wayt said the combined expenses of training aids ammunition, flash bang distraction devices, tear gas canisters and others schooling for members and overtime pay had to be trimmed from the police departments budget.
The overtime was necessary, he added, because during the time the team was training the regular shifts of its members had to be covered by other officers.
The weapons and equipment the team used have not been sold, Wayt said, and there are no plans to do so in the future. In the meantime, the skill and expertise of the individual members is carried on in their regular duties as patrolmen, he said. And the city will not be without a tactical capability should the need arise.
If someone is actively shooting people, he said, you have to do something ... now.
Under the Quick Action Deployment program, patrolling officers are armed and trained in the rapid deployment to the scene of an immediate crisis, evaluate the situation and act to reduce or eliminate injuries and loss of life.
Wayt said grant money is available to the department for training, including QUAD.
Development of QUAD began in the wake of the Columbine High School shootings in April 1999. As officers at the scene waited for a SWAT team to deploy, Wayt said, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris shot and killed several classmates.
In most cases, Wayt said, the QUAD response time would be faster than that of the SWAT team, as members of the latter needed to be paged, assembled, outfitted and deployed.
Though QUAD may not offer all the services of the SWAT team, it provides an immediate response. And other options are available to the city department, if needed.
Were taking steps in the meantime, explained Wayt. Ive already contacted the FBI. They maintain a SWAT team for the area. Theyve told me Were here, just give us a call. Ive talked to [Guernsey County Sheriff Mike McCauley] about the situation. If an incident occurs where we would really have to have something, he has told me he would be more than happy to work with us and do whatever they can.
But Wayt said that having your own in-house SWAT team is the most desirous arrangement, as it provides officers with the knowledge that their own tactical personnel will always be available to respond to a crisis.

About Bacteriophages
Bacteriophages are naturally occurring viruses that are highly specific for the bacterial hosts they infect. They can rapidly kill their host, amplifying themselves in the process. Bacteriophages are unaffected by antibiotic resistance and are able to disrupt bacterial biofilms. Such biofilms are a major line of defence for bacteria, contributing to antibiotic resistance. Bacteriophages are able to penetrate biofilms and replicate locally to high levels, to produce strong local therapeutic effects.
Forward Looking Statements
To the extent that this press release discusses expectations or otherwise makes statements about the future, such statements are forward-looking and are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made, including without limitation the risk that bacteriophage-based therapies may not be successfully developed, will require extensive and expensive pre-clinical and clinical testing, may not be safe or efficacious, and may not be approved for marketing by the United States Food and Drug Administration or any foreign regulatory agency. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statements to reflect future events or circumstances after the date of such statements.

Wednesday was another fateful day for the Spanish stock market, which was dragged down not only by doubts about the US economy, but also misgivings about the Spanish banking system after Standard & Poor's downgraded the ratings of 16 Spanish lenders on Monday. These doubts need to be cleared up as soon as possible.
The announcement of the Stability Plan and its accompanying reforms as the "backbone" of the government's economic policy has done little to boost confidence. As an economic guide and tool to convince investors, the plan has a number of inconsistencies and weaknesses, which turn it into little more than an exercise in political voluntarism. It is not that the government has misjudged what its objectives should be, given that the correction of the public deficit is an unavoidable necessity, but rather that the government seems to have incorrectly calculated the effects of the recession on its ability to comply with budgetary targets.
The principal inconsistency is to be found in the commitment to bringing down the public deficit by more than three percentage points of GDP during a financial year that will see a contraction of 1.7 percent. This is very unlikely to happen, and, as such, generates mistrust among the financial sector and compromises the rest of the stability forecasts.
If a deficit of 5.3 percent is not achieved this year, it will be impossible to reach three percent in 2013, and begin the path toward a primary surplus. In that case, the government will find itself in a bind, and only the European Commission will be able to save it should it decide to extend the timetable for stability.
Nor do the forecasts for growth seem credible. It is not easy to argue that from a contraction of 1.7 percent in 2012 we will achieve growth of 0.2 percent in 2013 — not just due to the quantitative jump, of two whole percentage points, but also because the sources of this growth have not been explained. As in the case of the deficit, an error in the prognostics of growth, which is fairly likely in this macroeconomic framework, compromises the rest of the decisive variables for economic recovery, such as the creation of jobs, increased consumption and the confidence of foreign investors.
There is another problem: the political instruments that are included in the plan have not been defined with sufficient precision. The economy team has made a generic declaration of discipline in all public administrations, but it has not laid down the fundaments of how they will be applied nor has it quantified the savings that will be achieved. The plan has an inconsistency at its very root, which is that of identifying cuts and reforms. An economic reform would be a rise in VAT and a reduction in social security costs in order to create jobs, but it is not clear as to whether that will be the strategy of the government; a cut is to communicate to the state and the regions that they have to shave 10 billion euros off health and education spending.
This government is selfishly maintaining that mistaken identification. But citizens are beginning to notice (and feel) the difference.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to acarbose: oral tablet
The most frequently reported adverse events include abdominal pain, diarrhea, and flatulence.[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Abdominal pain (19%), diarrhea (31%), flatulence (74%)
Uncommon (0.1% to 1%): Nausea,, vomiting, dyspepsia
Postmarketing reports: Ileus/subileus, pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis[Ref]
In large-scale clinical trials, a majority of patients have complained of gastrointestinal (GI) side effects. GI side effects usually developed within the first few weeks of therapy, were usually mild to moderate in severity, and typically decreased over time. The most common GI side effects were due to the fermentation of unabsorbed carbohydrates and resultant gas production. The severity of GI symptoms may be decreased by dosage reduction and by avoidance of gas-producing foods and sucrose.
There have been rare postmarketing reports of pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis associated with alpha-glucosidase inhibitors including this drug. If suspected, discontinue therapy and perform appropriate diagnostic testing.[Ref]
Very common (10% or more): Serum transaminase elevations (14%)
Postmarketing reports: Fulminant hepatitis with fatal outcome, jaundice and/or hepatitis and associated liver damage[Ref]
Treatment-emergent elevations of AST and ALT to greater the upper limit of normal, greater than 1.8 x ULN) and greater than 3 x ULN have been observed in 14%, 6%, and 3% of patients in studies of up to 12 months with doses up to 300 mg 3 times a day. The elevations were more common in women and generally asymptomatic and reversible. Additionally, these elevations appear to be dose-related.
International postmarketing experience: There have been 62 reports of of serum transaminase elevations to greater than 500 international units/liter, 29 were associated with jaundice. Of these 62 cases, 41 were receiving treatment with 100 mg 3 times a day or greater, 33 of 45 patients for whom weight was reported weighed less than 60 kg. In the 59 cases for which follow-up was provided, 55 had improvement or resolution of hepatic abnormalities with drug discontinuation, in 2 cases the hepatic abnormalities remained unchanged. Five cases of fulminant hepatitis with fatal outcome have been reported in Japan.[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Small reductions in hematocrit
Postmarketing reports: Thrombocytopenia[Ref]
Frequency not reported: Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis[Ref]
Postmarketing reports: Hypersensitivity skin reactions (e.g. rash, erythema, exanthema, urticaria)[Ref]
Postmarketing reports: Edema[Ref]
This drug when administered as monotherapy should not cause hypoglycemia, but when administered with other agents, it may increase the potential for hypoglycemia. Low serum calcium and low plasma vitamin B6 levels were associated with use of this drug, however, they are thought to be spurious or of no clinical significance.[Ref]

Internal Noise from the gun
Today I bought my first revolver (S&W model 686-6" .357 mag). For some reason when I move the revolver it sound very strange noise from the inner gun. I push the trigger and it still work but I want to know if it is normal.
Most of my smith revolvers have a little rattle. A LITTLE. If you pick up you gun and it sounds like a chainsaw, mabye take it to get looked at IMO. Otherwise if its accurate, Cylinder is in spec. yada yada i wouldnt worry to much about it.
I found a Sig at a pawn shop, it as also had a little internal noise. I shook it a bit, then asked the guy if it was supposed to sound like a bag of quarters? I then asked if they carried any firearms they thought were safe to shoot. I think it went downhill from there...
You're not holding the gun close enough to the computer for us to hear it......:p
Seriously- and this is not meant as a snide remark- how much experience have you had with S&W revolvers? If you mean sounds when cocking it- yes, the cylinder bolt retracts, allowing cylinder to turn, hand pushes on the rachet, cylinder turns, stop drops into place locking cylinder, sear engages notch on hammer. Mine sound sort of like sha-clink-click-click.
However, if you are in doubt, drop in to your local gunsmith or gun shop with the UNLOADED revolver, have them take a look/listen.
The most common "rattle" you will hear in a Smith revolver is the hammer block. This just tells you it is not gummy on the inside. Next most common is the ammo in the cylinder, it will rattle back and forth a bit.
It is my first revolver, in fact I shoot with it today and it was very impressive very accurate with both calibers. This week will buy more 357 mag and 38 for the next weekend. The noise look like between the trigger and the hammer like a metallic sound. Apparently what I read here seems a normal noise. I was very worry to have bought something damage.

(CNSNews.com) - Conservative commentators and media watchers Thursday came to the defense of commentator Rush Limbaugh following Limbaugh's resignation as an ESPN football analyst. Limbaugh had been under fire for comments he made about Philadelphia Eagles' quarterback Donovan McNab.
During ESPN's Sunday NFL Countdown, Limbaugh told viewers he thought McNabb, a former NFL all-star, was overrated.
"I think what we've had here is a little social concern in the NFL. The media has been very desirous that a black quarterback do well," Limbaugh said on Sunday. "There is a little hope invested in McNabb, and he got a lot of credit for the performance of this team that he didn't deserve. The defense carried this team."
A mountain of criticism ensued, including from several Democratic presidential candidates who called for ESPN to fire Limbaugh. McNabb said it was "sad that you've got to go to skin color. I thought we were through with that whole deal," he told the Philadelphia Daily News.
Against this backdrop, Limbaugh Wednesday night issued a statement that he was resigning
"My comments this past Sunday were directed at the media and were not racially motivated. I offered an opinion. This opinion has caused discomfort to the crew, which I regret," Limbaugh stated.
Limbaugh added that he did not want to be a "distraction to the great work" done by all who work on NFL Sunday Countdown. "Therefore I have decided to resign. I appreciate the opportunity to be a part of the show and wish all the best to those who make it happen."
Thursday, conservatives, including Amy Ridenour, president of the National Center for Public Policy Research, defended Limbaugh. Those involved in "excoriating Rush Limbaugh...are hypocritical grandstanders or opportunists," Ridenour stated.
The furor over Limbaugh is centered on his success as a right-leaning radio talk show host "and a white guy on top of it all," self-described libertarian pundit Neal Boortz wrote on his website.
"Limbaugh is seen by the left as a huge, almost insurmountable threat to their designs on regaining control in (Washington) D.C.," Boortz said. "Limbaugh crossed a politically-correct line. Only liberals are allowed to bring race into any issue."
Tim Graham, director of media analysis for the Media Research Center, the parent organization of CNSNews.com, said the episode was an example of a media "double-standard," and suggested Limbaugh's resignation may have been forced.
"I think that the response of ESPN afterwards, saying this was the appropriate action to take (for Limbaugh to resign) suggests they wanted him to resign. They were happy he resigned," Graham told CNSNews.com.
When asked whether ESPN considered keeping Limbaugh after he offered his resignation, particularly in light of the reported 10 percent ratings spike since Limbaugh's inclusion in the network's pre-game show, ESPN spokesperson Dave Nagle told CNSNews.com only that "Rush offered his resignation and we accepted it.
"We think the device of the '(Rush) Challenge' (the segment featuring Limbaugh) was one of many factors that helped this season get off to a good start and it's hard to say what will happen going forward," Nagle said.

As we pause to consider 2014 and beyond, we can see there is a lot of change afoot in our world. Change is certainly not a new characteristic of the strategic environment for agricultural business. However, the speed of change now working its way through our world in technical innovation, communications, social media, culture, government policy and our collective weltanschauung (perspective of the world) is very new and compels us more than ever to keep one eye on the present moment, executing our current plans well, and the other eye squinting toward the horizon for clues about tomorrow's opportunities and coming challenges.
Simply knowing what is likely to come is not sufficient to qualify for a seat at the table in the future. In "Six rules for Effective Forecasting," (Harvard Business Review, July-August, 2007), Paul Saffo notes that the "goal of forecasting is not to predict the future, but to tell you what you need to know to take meaningful action in the present." More than ever before, flexibility and the ability to be creatively restructuring today for tomorrow's opportunities is the price of admission to long-term access of the stock of scarce global resources: Characteristics and resources we must acquire to feed a growing population with rising incomes and demands for food.
As hard as it is to comprehend in an industry and a world that has struggled economically now for more than half a decade, the opportunity presented by what is coming is without question more exciting. It also is more profitable and even more human than what we have experienced in our world to date, but it will not be available to everyone.
As in every great move forward, there is a driving force, an insight or a discovery that unlocks a new era of progress for a world ready to step up and possess it. The key that unlocks the next step in our future is the emergence of precision as both methodology and mindset for technical innovation and applied practice. Those who can embrace both have a ticket to ride.
Precision to Identify Issues Sooner
Precision is about details and about achieving the goals we set out to accomplish with greater frequency. Precision is about understanding far more quickly when, where and why things are going awry and being able to make timely and targeted responses to fix problems in effective manner. That requires some dramatic changes in what we measure and the way we measure it in order to close the deviations gap between our planned production goals and our actual outcomes.
Peter Drucker, the 20th century's most celebrated business management expert once said, "If you cannot measure it, you cannot manage it." Now consider that in modern pork production, apart from test barns, no one measures what an individual pig consumes or weighs at any time during the production process. Therefore, when an individual pig is starting to fail to achieve our production goals, there is no way to know the precise moment it is happening or when intervention might be successful. In fact, the extent of the failure must reach a pretty high level before an individual animal begins to draw significant attention to warrant a possible intervention on its behalf.
In the Past, It's Been About the Group
We only measure the weight of the group, perhaps at weaning or when loaded on the truck for market. We divide the total weight by the number of head on the truck and believe we have useful information for profitable production. Many farms don't even do that. On those farms, all weaned pigs are magically 12 to 14 lbs. Since we are not measuring pigs at all, we cannot and do not manage them in the current production technology. We care for them and hope for a positive outcome. Management is the activity that achieves, or makes real, the plans we set out in advance. Caring and hoping are fine things to do, but they are not management.
What we seemingly manage is the outcome of the group, or do we? Most farms only measure group feed consumption and pig group weight after the fact, i.e., when the last feed truck ticket is summarized (which can be several days after slaughter in some systems). Producers discover actual pig weights when the kill sheets are received, so it is hard to mount a credible argument that we even manage groups of pigs much less individuals. What we have come to call management is observing what happened after nothing can be done about it and then reacting too late with a reasonable strategy for the last group, which often has little relevance to the present/future group.
Consider These Parameters
The focus on feed during the production process is to ensure there is not a stock out of the appropriate diet in the bins. Some farms have developed means to understand if the flow of feed or water consumed is different from expectation so that an intervention can be made if something is broken or disease is emerging but this is hardly something we can call a precision practice.
Judging from the number and characteristics of pigs that make it into a finishing barn's "hospital pen," we can clearly see the gap between catching a few pigs that need serious intervention and effectively identifying and flexibly applying a new strategy (be it small changes in diet, changes in temperature, stocking density, ventilation etc.) to the bottom 33 percent or even 50 percent of pigs by weight in a barn.
The "Bottom 50 Percent"
As gross a measure as this sounds, the bottom 50 percent is not readily identifiable by the human eye in a quick walk through and a glance. A few extreme individuals in the group may be pointed out, but that is much less than the number of possible subjects of an intervention to mitigate emerging deviations from our plan and/or goals.
Enter Precision Technology
The emergence of precision technology in agriculture happened first in cropping enterprises some twenty-plus years ago. Its emergence was tied to the technical breakthrough of GPS technologies being made available to the public. Once it could be known exactly where a tractor, truck or combine was located at any given time, field maps in layers containing different sets of information about every square foot of farm were married to GPS location tracking. This allowed producers to achieve precision input application and to both discover emerging problems (through satellite photography and infrared imaging embedded on maps) and precisely apply the fix to just those areas needing attention.
How Does This Translate to Pig Production?
At the present time, every pig in a typical finishing barn is fed the same diet at the same time despite the fact that in late finishing, there may be a 100-pound difference in the largest and the smallest pigs, the presence of barrows and gilts together, varying health status among the pigs and different environmental conditions across the pens. What might happen to growth rates, feed efficiency, labor requirements, overall animal welfare and throughput performance of the barn if an analogous map of the building was available daily or weekly for pigs, allowing the differential application of inputs and treatments to individual pigs? And what if we could then measure responses and make more adjustments versus the current one-size-fits-all for the group? Lots of people are working on pieces of this puzzle right now and some have made bold forays into actual barn and equipment investments testing promising ideas of precision agriculture in pig production.
In the coming year we will explore some of the advancements on the drawing board and/or being made in building technology, measurement systems, software and feeding systems. These technologies will help ensure your place in the future of global pork production through precision practices.
