We can probably expect to see more of this. It will no doubt go on through the Republican convention. I mean the parade of Republican presidential wannabees now preparing to kiss up to Mitt Romney after attacking him so viciously — and accurately — during the seemingly interminable GOP primaries. (Which, by the way, are not officially over yet.) The latest to apply the chapstick and pucker up is Texas governor Rick Perry.
You may remember Rick Perry from his family's unfortunately-named hunting camp, video highlights from his inspired New Hampshire speech, or the "strong" reaction to his viral web ad. Most recently. however, the man who arguably had the best hair in the Republican presidential field made the news for flipping his endorsement to Mitt Romney.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday affirmed his support for likely GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney, after initially backing Newt Gingrich's rival campaign following his own withdrawal from the race.
"Mitt Romney has earned the Republican Presidential nomination through hard work, a strong organization, and disciplined message of restoring America after nearly four years of failed job-killing policies from President Obama and his administration," the Texas governor said in a statement. "So today I join the many conservative Republicans across the nation in endorsing Mitt Romney for President and pledge to him, my constituents, and the Republican Party than I will continue to work hard to help defeat President Obama."
Perry praised Romney's "vision and record of private sector success."
His announcement came following reports that Gingrich would exit the race next week.
Gingrich is officially out as of tomorrow, and is expected to endorse Romney. It makes sense that Perry would follow Newt's lead and endorse Romney, since he followed Newt's lead so well in attacking Romney during the primaries.
As much as I'd like to take credit for teaching Rick Perry the term "vulture capitalism" with my post from early January, I can't do so honestly. After all, Newt Gingrich made attacking Mitt Romney's days at Bain Capital so easy that even Rick Perry (whom Paul Begala dubbed "the candidate for those who thought George W. Bush was too cerebral") could do it. And do it. And do it.
He may be praising Romney's "vision and record of private sector success" now, Rick denounced Romney's record as "vulture capitalism" as recently as January (just days after my post, by the way).
Addressing a retiree community in South Carolina, Perry criticized Romney's Bain Capital firm for two business deals that caused job losses in the state. He said private equity firms are "just vultures" that feed off sick companies no matter the human toll.
Campaigning in South Carolina, Perry accused Romney of "looting a company in Gaffney, SC.
"I had to shake my head yesterday when one of the wealthiest men I suppose has ever run for the presidency of the United States, the son of a multimillionaire, Mitt Romney, he said 'I know what it's like to worry about whether you're going to get fired. There were a couple times when I worried about whether I was going to get a pink slip.' He actually said this," the Texas governor said at a campaign stop in Anderson.
"I have no doubt that Mitt Romney was worried about pink slips, whether he was going to have enough of them to hand out because his company Bain Capital with all the jobs that they killed, I'm sure he was worried that he'd run out of pink slips," he continued.
Perry brought Bain Capital's takeover efforts home to South Carolina, saying that Bain "looted" a photo company in nearby Gaffney and a steel company further downstate in Georgetown.
Just a couple of days later, Perry doubled down on Romney's "vulture capitalism."
"There's a real difference between venture capitalism and vulture capitalism," Perry told Fox News Channel's Sean Hannity Tuesday night. "Venture capitalism we like. Vulture capitalism, no. And the fact of the matter is that he's going to have to face up to this at some time or another, and South Carolina is as good a place to draw that line in the sand as any."
Whether Perry actually thought through the likely reaction to his attacks on Romney's "vulture capitalism" I can't say. Perry probably didn't think Sean Hannity would compare him to to Occupy Wall Street, or that Rush Limbaugh would compare his to Fidel Castro. Newt's attack amounted to a convenient bandwagon that had plenty of media buzz following it. Perry probably jumped aboard without thinking that he was joining Newt in asking questions that Republicans aren't capable of asking.
So what changed Rick Perry's mind? Gingrich and Santorum are expected to endorse Romney, but other former Republican contenders appear to be in no hurry to endorse the all-but-inevitable nominee. Maybe Perry is hoping for another $10,000 bet. Or maybe Perry's just beating the rush and jumping aboard the last bandwagon left.

News: world's first dog clone

Wow Karlin!
This is exactly what I was posting about a few weeks ago on Chad's site. I think if we keep getting SM in our beloved Cavaliers then it might be the only way forward.
I don't want it for a clone of Maxx but just to save the breed from dying out. I mean if every 'breeder' stopped breeding from dogs and bitches that are affected by anything (MVD, SM, etc etc) then we're going to end up with a breed that are even rarer than they were 20 years ago.
I do find genetics very interesting as a subject though and maybe find it more acceptable than maybe 'joe public' having worked with medicines most of my life!

But cloning isn't really a solution to that. You wouldn't increase the gene pool at all by producing more animals w/ exactlly the same genetic make-up. It'd be the same as only breeding from unaffected dogs (which would limit out gene pool to.. what? 10%?? :shock: )
there was a video on the BBC article where they said that cloning was a solution to genetic problems because they could fix the gene - (gene therapy) and then reinsert it into an empty egg and grow it up as a clone with the fixed gene. Interesting idea. But we have to figure out the gene therapy first! And it doesn't do much good if we can't figure out what the genes are that cause the disease or if there are multiple genes causing a disease.
And if we know the gene and can screen for it, we could theoretically just breed away from it anyway w/o the use of cloning....
4th August 2005, 05:49 PM
The other problem right now and for the foreseeable future is that clones seem to not live very long and have various health issues (Dolly died long before a normal sheep would die, for example, and there's a whole set of ethical questions about indiscriminately creating clones for this reason). So it wouldn;t be a reeproductive solution but more, that if they can better understand gene therapy, it might be a way to learn enough about, say SM or other genetic conditions, to find a way of curing or breeding around it. Here's hoping!

No matter what their occupation or station in life, there are a few dates that most folks can recite from memory with little problem � their birthday, Christmas, their anniversary.
No matter what their occupation or station in life, there are a few dates that most folks can recite from memory with little problem � their birthday, Christmas, their anniversary. If they happen to be an outdoor sportsman there is probably another one � opening day of dove season.
The first day for hunting our state�s favorite game bird has traditionally come on the first Saturday after Labor Day. This year, because of the configuration of the calendar, it will be on Labor Day (Sept. 2). Opening day for other species will follow but this is the beginning. It�s a holiday, a celebration and a reunion all rolled into one; not a day to be taken lightly. It�s the kick-off to another season in the fields, the woods and the marshes.
This year, for the second time, dove hunters can begin shooting a half-hour before sunrise and continue until sunset. In years past, the season didn�t open until noon on opening day as a concession to all those families and clubs who celebrated the day with a cookout or pig-picking. That, of course, still occurs in some parts but now it�s more likely to take place beginning in the late afternoon after those in attendance have spent a day in the field.
Regardless of when they head out, dove hunters should be aware that there are some �Dos� that will help insure their opening day is a good one:
Do check your shotgun. It�s amazing how a summer in the gun cabinet can cause an autoloader to malfunction when it�s put to use again. Small patches of unseen rust or gummed up lubricants can cause all kinds of problems. The sight of a hunter trying to field-strip his 20-gauge with a pocket knife while birds zip by overhead might be funny to his buddies but you can bet he sees little humor in the situation. It can be avoided with a little pre-season care. Also, make sure you have plenty of ammo for your favorite scattergun and that different gauges aren�t mixed. A twenty-gauge shell stuck in a 12-gauge chamber by mistake can be disastrous.
Do practice a little beforehand. Shooting a shotgun is an exercise that requires hand-eye coordination. That, like an unused tool, can get rusty over time. Pro golfer John Daly has said that a golfer who skips practice before playing is likely to �shoot himself in the foot the first few holes.� Hopefully, a dove hunter won�t take off one of his tootsies but, if he hasn�t swung on a moving target since last hunting season, the odds are greater that he�ll miss the first one or two on opening day. Then, he�ll start �bearing down� and, as in golf, it�ll probably go downhill from there.
Do make sure your hunting license is current. The morning of opening day is not the time to find out your license expired the week before. You can renew a license online but, if the state�s computers happen to be down or you don�t have access to one at the last minute, you�re up the creek. Or, more precisely, you�ll be in line at WalMart or some other NCWRC license agent behind dozens of other hunters who failed to plan. Dove hunters need a valid hunting license and, if they will be on Wildlife Commission game lands, a Game Lands Permit. If the game land is one of those where a special dove hunting permit is required that also must be in the hunter�s possession.
Do make sure you know the regulations. Opening day of dove season is undoubtedly the busiest day of the year for NCWRC Wildlife Enforcement Officers. They will be out in force checking to make sure hunters have a current license and that their shotguns are �plugged� (can�t hold more than three shells). In addition, they will be looking for folks who shoot over their daily limit (15) or are hunting over bait. In the case of the latter, hunters should be aware that it is their responsibility to check beforehand and make sure there is no grain scattered to attract birds in the areas they are hunting. Failure to do so can be embarrassing and expensive.
Do prepare for hot weather. Don�t forget, this is the South and, barring some meteorological anomaly, opening day is likely to be hot and humid. Smart hunters plan accordingly. They make sure they have sun glasses, sun screen ointment, bug spray and plenty of water. The last is critical for those who are accompanied by a dog. Every year some retrievers suffer terribly and a few even die from heat stroke because of careless owners.
Once hunters are in the field, there are a few �Don�ts� as well:
Don�t crowd other hunters. Those who arrive after others have taken positions around a field should make sure they know where everyone else is and set a safe, courteous distance from anyone else � usually a hundred yards or more.
Don�t shoot at low-flying birds. Small bird shot isn�t likely to kill someone when fired from a distance but a single pellet can put out an eye or cause other damage. At the very least, peppering another hunter with shot is incredibly rude and could result in the offender suffering some bodily harm of his own. This is one case where violent retribution might be justified.
Don�t hang decoys on active utility lines. Even though it�s a popular practice in some places, doing so constitutes trespassing and a hunter can be cited for doing it. It is also possible that he could get the shock of a lifetime. Better places for decoys are on tree limbs, fences or poles erected for that purpose.
Don�t combine game bags with other hunters. The law says you can harvest 15 doves per day � period. It doesn�t say you can take your 15 and then bag another seven for your buddy who�s having a tough shooting day. That is illegal as well as unsporting.
Don�t sky bust. While shooting at birds that are way out of range isn�t dangerous or illegal, it is stupid. Opening day flocks of doves usually include young birds that are less wary than they will be later in the season. Smart hunters know if they let them get close � within 40 yards or so � they are much easier to hit and more easily found on the ground. They also know that the bozos who blast away at birds flying in the ozone layer are doing nothing but wasting ammunition, educating the doves and making it harder on everyone else.
Hunters who pick their shots carefully almost always have a better shooting percentage than those who fire indiscriminately; which means they are more likely to get their limit; which means they have more fun. And fun is what opening day of dove season is all about.
A tip for finding downed doves
Every hunter knows how frustrating it is to have a dove on the ground and not be able to find it. With their brown/gray coloring, it can be especially troublesome in a weedy field or among corn stubble. Bird markers may help. They are nothing more than fishing weights with 12� � 16� strips of orange flagging tape tied to them. When a dove is shot down, the hunter pulls one out of his pocket and, before he takes his eyes off the spot, tosses the marker to where the bird fell. Then, if he is distracted by other birds and gets off track, he can always go back to the general area where dove when down. Bird markers won�t take the place of a well-trained, non-slip retriever but, if you don�t have one of those, they can save a few birds that might be lost otherwise. Most folks can toss a four-ounce bird marker about 40 yards with reasonable accuracy. They might not throw it right on top of the bird but they can get a marker close enough to keep them in the ball park until he is located.

It's Louis CK's world, the rest of us are just living in it. This week, the comedian released his latest hour special on his own for just $5, experimenting with the idea that content can be kept out of the hands of corporations that drive the price up for consumers (it worked!), and he's been seemingly everywhere promoting and talking about his latest. You can also check him out on The Tonight Show, watch this feature on him from Nightline, listen to him on Fresh Air, and read his great AMA on Reddit.

It was a big week for comedy in Chicago.
Last week, Conan O'Brien brought his crew to town for a week of tapings of his TBS show, "Conan," as part of the Just for Laughs Chicago Festival. Big names like Aziz Ansari, Nick Offerman, Vince Vaugh and more performed their own shows. And then over the weekend, Sarah Silverman rolled through Chicago with a troupe of some of the best comedians around--Hannibal Buress, Natasha Leggero, Kyle Dunnigan, Marc Maron, Reggie Watts--for one of the better showcases of the week. Somehow, Silverman managed to pack a two-hour show into an hour-and-a-half time slot. Why the tight squeeze? Because despite the clear 7:30 p.m. start time and repeated pleas over the loud speaker from Silverman herself-- "It's 7:42, sit the fuck down!"--most of the crowd was still trickling in closer to 8 p.m.
I hate to assume that someone who waltzes into a theater 30 minutes late with a glass of wine and a big fat grin on his or her face doesn't regularly attend comedy shows, but I'm pretty sure these people don't regularly attend comedy shows. No problem! Let me help you jokesters out. Here are a few things to keep in mind the next time you throw down for some comedy show tickets, at a theater or a smaller club, to ensure that you, the comedian and everyone around you has the best time ever.
1) Show up whenever you want
The start time on a ticket is actually a "suggested time." Comedians have no insecurities or repressed anger, so you can walk in whenever you'd like, loudly shuffle your way to your seat and it won't really bother anyone.
2) Snacks are necessities
What, you thought you could last more than an hour without food or drink? Not possible. Stock up for the winter with popcorn, hot dogs, $8 wine and a spare Diet Pepsi so you don't end up fainting after going 20 minutes without putting something in your mouth.
3) Make your presence known
Comedians like to know they're appreciated. Wait for the perfect moment during a set to shout "I love you _____!" loud enough so that they can hear you, acknowledge you and show their gratitude that you bought a ticket to the show. You could also wait for the right moment to start a dialogue with the comedian when you disagree on an issue. They love that.
4) Pics or it didn't happen
I've never regretted anything more in life than that time I forgot to post a photo of [insert famous name here] on stage to my Facebook page. Nobody believed that I really went! Keep that phone at the ready throughout the show to get a good pic.
5) Get wasted
Let's be real: This is the only reason you're there. Why else would you drop $50 to sit in one spot for two hours? Even better: Get pre-wasted before the show so your genius wit and special drunk laugh arrive on cue when the show starts. Sitting next to a drunk is always good times.
6) Don't do any of this, you idiot
It's pretty simple and shouldn't need to be told to audiences before every show: Mind your damn manners. Enjoy the show. "Have an experience," as Silverman begged the audience at Saturday's show. Put the world on hold for an hour, stop pissing off the comedians with your desperate attempts to ruin their show and double-check the start time on your ticket. I missed the Nick Offerman show after Silverman's at 10 p.m. because of these people, and, yeah, I'm still mad. But the good news is that these people learned better for next time, right? I guess sarcasm doesn't translate well to the Internet, does it...

"We love the way these turned out. They look amazing, and we were very pleased to get pictures on both sides of the card. And quick delivery too!"
"The cards were delivered quickly which was great! It was nice to be able to have several photos on the card as we have lots of friends and family who do not have access to computers to see the kids on social media or email. The only thing I was disappointed in was that a few of the cards were stuck together from the ink during the printing process. This meant the cards were ruined. Frustrating considering the cards weren't cheap. This is the only reason for the lower rating. Would have been nice if there would have been a quality check. Overall pleased with the product."
"Such precious announcements and very high quality. I would definitely recommend."

SAN FRANCISCO — The Giants are getting the band back together, and that tactic isn't limited to those who marched in the 2012 championship parade.
Andres Torres, a key contributor for the 2010 championship club, signed a one-year, $2 million deal on Thursday after passing a physical. The popular outfielder likely will split time with Gregor Blanco in left field, and also can back up Angel Pagan and Hunter Pence, locked into the other two spots.
A longtime journeyman, Torres, 34, broke through in 2010, hitting 16 homers, stealing 26 bases and posting an OPS of .823. After a down year in 2011, Torres was traded to the Mets last offseason along with Ramon Ramirez in a deal that brought Pagan to San Francisco.
The Giants kept Pagan in the fold at the winter meetings, and also have re-signed second baseman Marco Scutaro and left-hander Jeremy Affeldt.
"It's a comfort thing," Affeldt said this week when asked about the offseason strategy. "Comfort brings confidence. It's about confidence, not necessarily having a big-name lineup."
Torres likely will be in the lineup against left-handers. The Giants had been looking for a right-handed hitting platoon partner for Blanco, and Torres, a switch-hitter, had a .286 average against left-handers last season with a .382 on-base percentage. Overall, Torres batted .230 in 132 games for the Mets.
Torres attended multiple Giants postseason games in October and was a favorite with fans and teammates in his first go-round with the Giants.

Delia on Family Tree Circles
view: full | list
Journals and Posts
Trying to find where David and Jane (nee Younger) Reid moved to after 1861.
David and Jane were born in Alloa, Clackmannanshire about 1822. They married and came to Australia on "The Wanderer" with their child Isabella Campbell Reid (my ggrandmother). They come with Jane's brothers Alexander, Andrew and John (who drowned on the way) and their sister Margaret landing in Victoria in 1853.
Jane and David had 3 children around Melbourne/Brunswick, two of whom die there.
The families eventually settle in Ballarat where David and Jane's youngest son John is born in 1861. According to oral family history around this time David and Jane leave Isabella with Jane's youngest brother, Alexander Younger in Ballarat to complete her education and took babies Margaret and John and head outback to be drovers. Unfortunately they were never heard from again.
Wondering if anybody has these people in their family as we desperately would love to know whatever happened to them. Isabella went to her grave never knowing what became of her parents. We all wonder if they ended up in New Zealand, America or even Canada thinking they would send for Isabella when they settled, but just never did.
Seeking birth and death records Abraham Morgan of Broadmeadows - Campbellfield, Victoria
Abraham Morgan married Hannah Land in 1840 at St James c of e in West Melbourne. They had 3 children at Pentridge (Coburg)Frederick John MORGAN, Isaac James Fyfe MORGAN and Louisa Jane MORGAN and two children at Campbellfield Edward MORGAN and Thomas MORGAN. No one in the present day seems to know where Abraham came from, and there appears to be no oral history.
Abraham died in 1853. I can't find his death in Victoria or where he is buried. If I had one of these I may find where and when he was born. However I do have a copy of his will, and have found the legal notice on Trove relating to executing the will, where everything is left to Anna Morgan.
Hannah kept on farming in the Broadmeadows area, as she is mentioned in the directories of the time. Hannah died in 1887 at Campbellfield and is buried in the Will Will Rook cemetery. Edward and Thomas are also buried here, both dying in 1891, but there is no mention of Abraham in these records.
Hoping someone out these know what's happened to Abraham.
Looking for Joseph Emrose who married married Augusta Maria Hermel in Lobethal, South Australia on 23 June 1862.
I am searching for Joseph Emrose's identity.
Looking for John TEAL of Skipton, Yorkshire who married Frances TATHAM in Liverpool Oct, 1844 and came to Ballarat, Australia after 1851 but before 1857.

The language used in the thesis shall be English or Hindi unless otherwise specifically permitted by the Vice-Chancellor. The thesis shall comply with the following conditions:
(i) It must be a piece of research work characterized either by the discovery of new facts or by a fresh approach towards interpretation of facts or theories. In either case, it should prove the candidate's capacity for the critical examination, sound judgment and clarity of expression. The candidate shall indicate how far the thesis embodies the result of his/her investigations and in what respect it appears to his/ her to advance the study of the subject.
(ii) A critical edition or translation of work, approved specially for the purpose by the Research Board at the time of registration, when accompanied by an adequate introduction and commentary of the scholarly nature, may also be considered for the award of a Ph.D. degree provided that the other requirements are fulfilled.
(iii) A certificate shall be furnished by the supervisor indicating how far the work is the original work of the candidate.
C.1.(24) The thesis when received shall be referred for the evaluation to the supervisor and three external examiners. This panel will have eight names giving details regarding designation, postal address, telephone numbers and field of specializations out of which at least five must be at Professor's rank. The Vice-Chancellor shall appoint examiners out of this panel. However, the Vice-Chancellor may also appoint examiners from outside the panel suggested by the supervisor.
C.1.(25) (a) The examiners shall be requested to send their reports on the thesis normally within three months. If all the examiners recommend that the thesis is suitable for the award of Ph.D. degree, a viva-voce examination (to be conducted by two examiners including the supervisor) shall be held in all the cases.
(b) If the original examiner(s) are not available for the viva-voce, another person from within the country may be appointed by the Vice-Chancellor.
(c) The examiners shall send their reports independently to the Vice-Chancellor by name marked 'Confidential'.
(d) If in the first instance, all the examiners evaluating the thesis as well as those conducting the viva-voce examination recommend the award of the degree to the candidate, the degree shall be awarded.
(e) If the majority of the referees recommend rejection of the thesis, the thesis shall be rejected.
(f) In case of divergence of opinion among the three referees, the report of each referee will be sent to another two, with a view to obtaining agreement among them. If even exchange of reports, the case is not decidable under clauses (d) and (e), the following procedure shall be followed:
If two examiners have accepted the thesis while the third has asked for its revision, the Vice-Chancellor, on the recommendation of the supervisor, shall either allow the candidate to revise the thesis or appoint a fourth examiner. If a fourth examiner is appointed, his opinion shall be final. If two examiners have accepted the thesis and the third has rejected it, the thesis shall be sent for evaluation to the fourth examiner and his/her opinion shall be final. If one of the three examiners has accepted the thesis, another has rejected it, while the third has asked for its revision, the thesis shall be rejected. When the thesis is rejected under such circumstances, the candidate can get himself/herself registered afresh on the same subject. If the candidate fails to satisfy the viva-voce examiners or if there be a difference between the viva-voce examiners, the candidate may be allowed, on the payment of prescribed fee, to appear at a second viva-voce examination to be held not later than one year from the date of first viva-voce. If at the second viva-voce the candidate fails to satisfy the examiners, his/her thesis shall be finally rejected.
C.1.(26) If a candidate is permitted to improve and resubmit his/her thesis, he/she shall be required to submit it not earlier than six months and not later than twelve months from the date of such permission along with the prescribed fee.
The thesis so resubmitted shall be sent to the same panel of examiners, who evaluated the original one, for adjudicate. The Vice-Chancellor shall, in such contingency, appoint another external examiner or examiners, as the case may be, from the original panel suggested by the supervisor and approved by the Research Board. The revised thesis shall be accepted if at least three examiners recommend acceptance. Candidate shall not be allowed to resubmit his/her thesis more than once.
C.1.(27) The reports of the referees (including those of the viva-voce test) shall be placed before the Vice-Chancellor for approval. After approval of the Vice-Chancellor, the degree be awarded to the candidate at the next convocation of the Vidyapith. Meanwhile if the candidate wants to have a copy of the certificate, the provisional certificate may be issued on the submission of the application and prescribed fee by the candidate.
C.1.(28) Notwithstanding anything contained in the above Bye-laws, if any work relating to the edited texts or calendars of unpublished manuscripts, records or documents, duly accompanied by an adequate introduction and critical appreciation of an outstanding nature, is submitted to the Vidyapith and the experts to whom it is referred for the opinion find it suitable for the purpose, the same may be considered on its own merits for the award of the Ph.D. degree of the Vidyapith provided the other requirements are satisfied.

By: Jennifer Stewart, Purdue University Extension
With spring approaching, a Purdue Extension dairy specialist says now is the time for dairy producers to assess their farms and work through a checklist of duties, including facility and pasture maintenance and taking inventory of forage supplies.
After a particularly harsh winter with higher-than-normal snowfall, dairy farmers can expect to find a lot of mud in their pastures, cow lots and heifer pens - something Mike Schutz said needs to be addressed.
"Producers who have any animals outside need to be sure those cattle have adequate dry areas to lie down," he said.
Farmers also need to take a look at their feed supplies to determine whether they have enough high-quality forage to keep cows fed until the first forage harvest.
Further, they should be evaluating forage stands as plants start to green up to determine the health of the coming crop. If perennial forages are in bad shape, farmers have some options, said Keith Johnson, Purdue Extension forage specialist.
One of those options to get an early forage harvest to fill a void would be to plant spring oat on land normally used for corn or soybean. Producers who choose this option need to look at plantback restrictions of herbicides used on last year's crop before planting oats.
But because that takes land out of already planned crop production, Johnson said it might be best to consider purchasing forage supplies.
"Producers really need to assess the severity of their inventory problems," he said. "If the quantity and quality of forage needed can be found from suppliers and the price is reasonable, it may be best just to buy it."
In the meantime, farmers can work on rehabilitating perennial forages or starting completely over.
"If a field of perennial forage winterkilled, the key is to get another perennial forage back into production as quickly as possible," Johnson said.
Many dairy producers also use corn silage in their feed rations and oftentimes employ custom workers to harvest that crop. According to Schutz, dairy producers need to communicate with custom workers as they plan the growing season.
"It's really important to work closely with custom harvesters to plan the timing of corn silage maturity," he said. "That allows custom workers to plan harvest for you and their other clients."
Facilities and equipment maintenance also should be on the list. Many dairy producers have been forced by volatile milk prices and high feed costs to put off some on-farm maintenance for the last few years.
Now that feed costs are down and milk prices have been steadier, profit margins have started to expand. That has put many producers in a better position to improve their farms.
Finally, Schutz said, producers need to keep farm safety on their minds.
"This likely will be a later spring than what we're used to, so people will be anxious to get out there and get their on-farm tasks completed," he said. "It's important that farmers not use speed in place of safety. That applies to all farmers - not just dairy producers."

In the future, hydrogen can play an important role for the energy industry as an energy carrier. For the first time, scientists at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt; DLR) have now successfully set up a 100-kilowatt pilot plant which uses solar energy to produce this important energy carrier in a renewable, CO2-free way.
Solar energy is by far the most widely available source of energy on Earth. Hydrogen, on its part, is an excellent energy carrier thanks to its high energy density. Moreover, the combustion of hydrogen produces only water and heat. For more than six years already, solar research at the DLR Institute of Technical Thermodynamics (DLR-Institut für Technische Thermodynamik) has been aimed at developing innovative reactors for the solar, thermochemical splitting of water, in the context of the HYDROSOL I and II EU projects. In these reactors, solar energy is used directly to split water into hydrogen and oxygen, bypassing the need to generate electrical power first. The research results obtained in the 10-kilowatt power range have now been successfully applied in a 100-kilowatt pilot plant.
The plant, which has been set up at the Plataforma Solar de Almería (PSA), has a novel solar reactor and was only officially inaugurated this spring. At the moment, its size and level of automation already make it an important prototype for future industrial plants. The reactor technology for this plant was developed by DLR. The reactor is heated to 800 to 1 200 degrees Celsius by concentrated solar radiation. These temperatures then allow hydrogen to be extracted from water.
"Solar" hydrogen is a CO2-free energy store
Renewable hydrogen production using solar energy and the resulting storage of solar energy by this chemical energy carrier are of the greatest technological and economic interest for the energy industry. After an extensive thermal qualification of the solar tower plant, which took place this summer, the plant was recently fitted for the first time with solar absorbers covered in a special coating that enables them to split water and thus to produce hydrogen in a CO2-free way.
Towards commercial application
The successful production of hydrogen marks an important milestone in the ongoing HYDROSOL II project, the more so as the hydrogen yields that were already achieved early on far exceeded expectations. Over the next few months, the hydrogen production tests on the so-called SSPS tower (Small Solar Power System) at the Plataforma Solar de Almería will be continued and stepped up. The primary focus will be on optimising the plant's operating conditions and efficiency. Additional tests using differently coated solar absorbers should then provide pointers to the best materials to use.
The design of the 100-kilowatt pilot plant is based on a modular concept. As a result, this technology can be readily scaled up to the megawatt range. This can be done by multiplying the available reactor units and by connecting the plant to heliostat fields (fields of sun-tracking mirrors) of a suitable size, such as the ones already used commercially in Spain and elsewhere to generate electricity.
The HYDROSOL project has already received international accolades
The HYDROSOL project is implemented by an international consortium of partners from Germany, Spain, Greece, Denmark and the UK. Because of its potentially far-reaching consequences, the research and development conducted in the context of HYDROSOL I has received a number of awards, including the Descartes Research Prize of the European Union and the Technical Achievement Award of the International Partnership for the Hydrogen Economy.
In the field of solar research, the DLR Institute of Technical Thermodynamics is one of the leading institutions in the world specialising in concentrating solar power systems. Its objective is to develop, in cooperation with industrial partners, concentrating solar power systems for heat, electricity and fuel generation in order to achieve a sustainable energy supply. In addition to test facilities and laboratories in Cologne and Stuttgart, the research team also has access to the largest European test centre for concentrating solar technologies, the Plataforma Solar de Almería in Spain, through a permanent on-site delegation.
