Michelin Ag says it has taken radial technology to the next level.
Last month the company rolled out its new IF800/70R38 Axiobib radial tire with Ultraflex technology, first previewed last year at the National Farm Machinery Show (see April 2006, page 38). The tire represents a new category of radials with "IF," which stands for "increased flexion." IF provides large-volume tires (those wider than 520 mm) with the additional flex or "bulge" in the sidewall they need to support the weight of new 4-wd tractors — without requiring more air pressure.
The technology, which Michelin has branded "Ultraflex," allows its new Axiobib tire to run at 20% lower inflation pressures, or carry up to 20% more load at the same inflation pressures, as standard radials. "We think that going from standard radials to Ultraflex could be as big a step as going from bias to radial," says Kevin Lutz, technical manager for Michelin North America Agricultural Tires.
To illustrate what the new technology can mean for tire buyers, Michelin invited journalists to its headquarters in Greenville, SC, for a two-day training and test drive. The new Axiobib tires with Ultraflex were put on a prototype of AGCO Challenger's behemoth 570-hp MT975B tractor, which will be the largest 4-wd tractor in the world when it goes into production later this year.
"We sometimes assume people know a lot more about tires than they do," Lutz says. "And one of the things we assume they know is what a radial tire is."
He explains that the radial tire, which Michelin patented in 1946, is made from layers of rubber-coated plies of fabric. The plies are laid side by side at a "radius," or 90°, to the center line of the tire. Additional material is then wrapped around the top of the tire to reinforce the crown or tread area.
Bias tires, in contrast, are made with plies that are laid crisscross over each other. These plies form both the tread and sidewall. Because all the layers in a bias tire are interconnected, the sidewall cannot flex or "bulge" without shifting the whole tire. In radial tires, because the crown is built separate from the sidewall, the sidewall can flex and the tread can stay planted on the ground.
Sidewall flex is important in tires because it allows for better performance, Lutz says. He says radial tires, known for their sidewall bulge, have been proven to provide superior traction, better fuel economy, better ride comfort, improved handling, and longer life than bias tires.
Because of these advantages, 99% of passenger car tires today and 95% of over-the-road truck tires are radial, according to Michelin figures. Ag tires, in comparison, are only 30% radial because not all farm vehicles require the same level of performance. For example, tires on chore tractors and small combines are still predominately bias.
However, the percentage of ag radials jumps to 90% for tractors over 120 hp. "If you look at the 20% of farmers doing 80% of the production, 90 to 95% of the tires on their primary production tractors are radial," Lutz says. In those applications, radial tires are critical because of their ability to minimize soil compaction.
Soil compaction is caused from downward pressure. Radial tires create less ground pressure because their sidewall flexibility allows for lower inflation pressures. When air pressure is reduced, the tread of the tire lengthens out, resulting in a bigger footprint. A larger footprint distributes the weight of the tractor over a larger area, thereby lowering ground pressure.
Lower ground pressure reduces compaction, which in turn can lead to higher yields. According to a four-year continuous corn study conducted by Iowa State, corn grown on soil farmed with equipment exerting 6-psi surface pressure yielded 9 bu./acre more than corn grown with equipment exerting 16-psi surface pressure. On a 1,000-acre farm, a 6 bu./acre yield advantage results in $18,000 in additional revenue if corn is priced at $3.00/bu.
The standard ag radial sold today was designed for a 400-hp tractor. "The 800/70R38 was reverse-engineered," Lutz explains. "[That is], if I have a 400-hp tractor, what size tire do I need to be at 8 psi in front and 6 psi in the rear, which are the optimal numbers to minimize soil compaction? But what's happened?"
He says that, in the last five years, horsepower ratings have taken a leap in the category of 4-wd tractors. The most recent examples are a 530-hp tractor released in 2005 and the new 570-hp Challenger MT975B.
Increased horsepower requires a corresponding increase in tractor weight to transfer power to the ground. As a rule of thumb, 100 lbs./hp of tractor weight is required, according to Lutz. "So if you have a 570-hp tractor, it should weigh about 57,000 lbs.," he says.
The inflation pressures required to support that weight are 14 psi front and 10 psi rear (see chart). "The question we asked is, Are farmers who are used to running at 8 and 6 psi going to like 14 and 10 when they go to a bigger tractor?" Lutz says. "Not if they are concerned about soil compaction."
Lutz says a new type of radial tire had to be designed that could support the weight of bigger tractors without requiring higher air pressures. The result is the IF category radial tire, which Michelin is the first to market.
The IF800/70R38 Axiobib tire with Ultraflex technology is dimensionally the same as the standard 800 radial. But it has several major differences that allow it to carry up to 20% more load at the same or lower inflation pressures as those recommended for standard radials. These differences include:
A flatter crown profile and a special rubber compound that provide longer service life and soil protection;
Reinforced shoulders that reduce casing distortion;
A larger deflection zone — the area on the sidewall that allows the tire to flex.
The Axiobib can be used for any application that calls for large-volume tires. Michelin expects the biggest market to be 4-wd tractors because of their recent growth in size, horsepower and weight. It expects demand to be less for manual front wheel assist (MFWA) tractors, where load weights are typically less than those of 4-wds.
Large combines are a potential market, but the current IF sizes are not typically used on combines. "We have advanced radial technology that meets the need right now," Lutz says. "We have the only steel belted radial combine tire on the market."
The Axiobib is being sold through the original equipment market. Michelin plans to make it available through the replacement market later this year. Michelin tires will be standard on the Challenger MT900B series 4-wd with the Axiobib available as optional equipment. The tires are available in five sizes at a suggested list price of about 20% more than the price of standard radials.
Michelin will continue to make its standard radial, the MachXbib, for tractors whose weight puts them at the recommended pressures of 8 and 6 psi. "Or if soil compaction is not a concern, the MachXbib is a good option," Lutz says. "But if you own a big tractor and your tire air pressures have gone up, we now have this new tire option."

IF vs. standard radial
I tested the new Axiobib tires with Ultraflex on the 570-hp Challenger MT975B. The tractor was set up with two different sets of tires: the Axiobibs on the left and standard 800 radials by Firestone on the right. Both brands were inflated to their recommended pressures, which means the Axiobibs had 20% lower pressure.
Bob Reese, Michelin's manager of survey tires, guided me through the two-part course. On the first leg, railroad ties laid across half of the road to simulate rough field conditions. I drove over the ties in 10th gear with the Axiobib tires first, then doubled back to test the standard radials. With the Axiobib tires, I could feel the tread spread out over each tie, which dramatically eased my ride. I swayed back and forth as we drove over the ties but remained in full control of the wheel.
When I turned the tractor around to make the same run with the standard radials, the difference in ride was dramatic. The higher air pressures and shorter footprint magnified the uneven road, resulting in an extremely bumpy ride. My body jerked with each bump, and there were a few times when I almost slid off the seat. All the jerking resulted in instant back pain.
On the second part, Reese instructed me to shift up to 16th gear to simulate road conditions. One side of the road was deeply rippled so I could assess the tires' handling ability. Even at top speeds, the Michelin tires were able to hug the road despite the ruts and gravel. I kept the wheels straight and stayed on the road without a problem. When I doubled back to test the standard radials, I experienced noticeable wheel slip, which made driving more challenging. The ride was rougher, too, causing my compromised back to hurt even more.
The whole drive lasted only about 20 minutes — far short of a typical 12-hour day in the field. But it was long enough to show what a difference the Ultraflex makes in ride comfort, performance and handling.

Does putting its large track tractors on wheels mean Challenger is moving away from tracks? No, says Paul Sparenberg, product marketing specialist for AGCO Challenger. "Our story for years has been about better traction and lower compaction," he says. "That story doesn't change with the expanded product range."
But he says there is a large demand for articulated 4-wd tractors for various reasons. "People are either not familiar with tracks or are in areas not conducive to track advantages," he says. "So they want tires. And we have answered the call."
When track tractors first came out in the early 1980s, experts predicted tracks would claim 70 to 90% of the tractor market. "Although track adoption is growing, roughly 60% of the market is still wheels," Sparenberg says. "So the demand is out there."
Challenger hopes to claim 12 to 15% of the wheeled market with the new MT900 series. At the same time it believes its wheeled offerings will help sell more tracks by making more farmers aware of both options. "In the past, some farmers saw Caterpillar and Challenger as only track brands," Sparenberg says. "And if they didn't want tracks, they didn't see the need to talk to us. Now some of the guys will talk with us. And we can show them the benefits of both tracks and tires."
Challenger MT900B tractors will be released to dealerships this spring. They will come down the same production line as the Challenger track tractors made in Jackson, MN. Suggested list price will be about $320,000, roughly 8 to 10% less than the price of their counterpart track tractors.

"If you are only going to buy two new tires, where should you put them?" asks Michelin test driver Mac Demere during a crash course on car tires that the company gave for journalists at its Laurens, SC, Proving Grounds.
Demere says most people, including those who install tires for a living, will say "the front." But the correct answer is the rear because the rear tires are what stabilize the vehicle. "Without stability, without the rears having grip, steering and braking are useless," Demere says. "And this is whether you are driving a car, truck, van, SUV, front-wheel-drive or rear-wheel-drive vehicle."
To prove it, Demere took us to a wet track, where high-pressure sprinklers provided a steady inch of standing water. He told us to put helmets on and take a spin at 50 mph with two different cars: one with the new tires placed in front; the other with new tires on the rear.
"On the car that has the new tires on the rear, the front tires will lose grip first, making it impossible to steer," Demere says. "Your natural reaction will be to lift off the gas and leave your hands where they are. And most likely it will be a non-event. On the car where the good tires are placed in front, the rear tires will lose grip first and the car will start to fishtail."
On that note, I signed a liability waiver and started to drive the car with the new tires installed in back. As Demere predicted, the drive was basically uneventful. When I reached my top speed of 50, I could feel the front tires hydroplane as the water from the sprinklers exceeded the tread depth of the tires. But with a quick touch of the brake, and a firm grasp of the wheel, I was able to keep the car on the track.
Then it was time to switch cars. Same drill. Only this time, the car did a 360 despite all my attempts to correct for it.
Demere says the reason is that new tires have a deeper tread depth and will grip the road and channel water more effectively than worn tires. "If all four tires have the same tread depth, the tires will hydroplane at the same time and it will be no big deal," he says. "But if the front tires are newer, the rear tires will lose their grip first and the average driver will be unable to control the vehicle."
The message for tire buyers, Demere says, is "insist that the two new tires be installed on the rear of the vehicle."

Australian stocks are haunting levels not see since the pre-crisis heydays of 2008, but the word "pause" best describes today's open, with the S&P/ASX 200 sitting flat after yesterday's mini-loss of 0.1%.
Moves are muted among the banks and other financials, though QBE Insurance is up 3%, carrying on from the previous session's post-earnings gains.
Among the big miners, BHP Billiton is down 1.1%, with Reuters saying talks to sell its Mount Nimba iron-ore deposit in the West African nation of Guinea appear to have fallen through. Rio Tinto is down 1.8% after the death of a worker has halted bauxite operations at its Gove refinery.
But the mining sector is also hosting some gains, with Whitehaven Coal up 2.6% after it posted a significant narrowing of its first-half loss, as well as a more-than-40% rise in revenue.
Speaking of earnings, the prognosis is mostly negative on today's batch, with BC Iron down 3.1%, Lend Lease Group losing 3.5%, and AGL Energy off 2.7% after their respective reports.
And Westfield Group, the shopping-mall developer whose results are the centerpiece on today's earnings table, is trading 2.3% lower after a roughly 7% fall in net profit for 2013, with Dow Jones Newswires attributing the weaker income to the sales of less profitable assets shrinking Westfield's global portfolio.
But to end on a high note, shares of mining-and-energy-services major Worleyparsons are up 4.9%, with its chief executive reportedly saying the firm will conduct an "in-depth" review the business after fiscal-first-half net profit declined by close to 30% compared to a year earlier.

Japanese equities are starting on the downside, as would be expected after gains for the yen and losses for Wall Street. At this point, the blue-chip Nikkei Average is carrying a 0.5% loss, though off its opening 1% deficit. Likewise, the broader Topix is down 0.6%
Among the sectors, the big banks are weak-ish (Mitsubishi UFJ down 1.5%, Mizuho Financial down 0.9%, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial down 1.4%), while the retailers are seeing selling of their own (Aeon down 2%, J. Front down 2.3%, Fast Retailing down 1%).
But then there's Panasonic. As MarketWatch reported earlier (see here), Panasonic has been in the running to build a big U.S. battery plant for electric-car maker Tesla. But now it's been reported in the Nikkei (the Nikkei!) that talks between it and Tesla are underway. That was enough to bring in the buyers, sending Panasonic shares up 5.6% in the early minutes.
Elsewhere on the Tokyo bourse, some new ratings from J.P. Morgan are helping save a couple of auto makers. Honda Motor is up 0.3%, and Mazda is higher by 0.4% after JPM initiated coverage of the pair with an overweight call. Suzuki Motor also got the overweight stamp from J.P. Morgan, but it's down 0.2% anyway.

Apparently, Chinese markets still haven't recovered after heavy losses in the previous day.
After getting spooked by the central bank's tightening of liquidity on Tuesday, as well as recent sharp declines in China's currency, investors in Shanghai remained mostly on the sell-side Wednesday, as the Shanghai Composite Index dropped 0.2% to 2,030.47.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong markets struggled to overcome weakness in financial and property shares, with the rise of Chinese new-energy stocks helping lift the Hang Seng Index up by 0.3% to 22,378.90.
As shares of U.S. electric-car maker Tesla hit a record high overnight on Wall Street, BYD Co. — China's own electric-vehicle and battery manufacturer — also soared 5.8% in Hong Kong, after Beijing said Tuesday it would build "massive" numbers of charging stations for new energy-powered vehicles this year. The government said it has already picked 100 locations for fast-charge public stations in urban areas, and it plans to complete the constructions of 1,000 charging stations this year.
New energy shares advanced, as China Everbright International Ltd. climbed 3.2%, Huaneng Renewables Corp. gained 2.2%, and Huadian Fuxin Energy Corp. rose 1.6%.
Banks and financial shares remained weak after a selloff the previous day, as China Taiping Insurance Holdings declined 2.4%, and China Merchants Bank lost 1.5%, while Agricultural Bank of China and Bank of China gave up more than 0.9% each.

Shanghai opens down almost half a percent, Shanghai pulls into positive territory, Shanghai is back down, now it's up, etc.
And so it goes for much of Asia today, as indexes show the sort of choppy seesawing trade more often seen on days when half the market is on holiday.

- by Mike Kitchen

After suggestions yesterday that Japanese authorities might sit this one out, it looks like there will be a probe in Tokyo-based bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox after all.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga said today that the police, the Finance Ministry and unspecified others were probing the sudden, unexplained closure of the popular bitcoin merchant.
This, after The Wall Street Journal reported U.S. prosecutors have subpoenaed Mt. Gox. (Read details here.)
Meanwhile, the Japan Times reports of at least one bitcoin trader who traveled from his home in London to picket the Tokyo building where Mt. Gox has its offices in an effort to recover his investment.
But, the report adds, Mt. Gox's offices are now empty of all staff, according to a security officer at the location.

An up-then-down day for Japanese stocks. The Nikkei Average has finished 0.5% lower, enough to knock it back below the 15,000 level that it reclaimed earlier this week for the first time this month. (Today's close was 14,971, a loss of about 81 points).
Forex was not a huge factor, as the yen meandered, with the dollar sticking in a range around ¥102.20-¥102.40.
Retail stocks helped to weigh on the market, with many trading ex-divdend. And of course there was Panasonic, the day's star performer, ending 5.3% higher on hopes for a Tesla deal (as mentioned in an earlier post in this blog).
And tomorrow? Who knows — we could remain quiet until Friday morning, when the government drops its monthly cluster-bomb of data, including consumer prices, industrial output, retail sales and unemployment.

Final Bell at St. Ben's: Part of Strasburg
History for 79 Years
Albasin, Ted. "Final Bell at St. Ben's: Part of Strasburg History for 79 Years." Emmons County Record, 16 May 1989.
When the final bell rings at St. Benedict Catholic School in Strassburg May 26, the book will be closed on the school's 79-year history. The three students who will graduate on Friday will be the last class to graduate from St. Ben's.
The old school will be sorely missed by many people in the area, including graduates of the past years and the students who will move into the Strasburg Public School system next year. But it will be missed most by older generations.
"The older generation, those in their fifties and sixties, are the ones who feel the loss most, said Sister Richarde Marie Wolf, principal and teacher at St. Ben's. "And they are also the most verbal."
Although Sister Richarde doesn't feel that economics or a dwindling enrollment are major reasons for the closing, she does believe that it would only be a matter of time before those things became real issues.
"We're still operating in the black," she said. "We still have quality education, top notch teachers, and an ideal classroom situation where children get individual attention."
But all that could change with lowering enrollment."
During the 1988-89 school year, St. Ben's had an enrollment of 33 in kindergarten through the eighth grade. Next year that would have dropped to 23 students.
"Interests in Catholic education has dwindled," said Sister Richarde. "Young families just don't see the value of a Catholic education as their parents did."
The ultimate decision to close St. Ben's was made by Bishop John Kinney of the Bismarck Diocese. A committee was appointed to consider the fate of several small Catholic schools in the diocese. According to Sister Richarde, she knew the school was one of those being looked at, she knew the Rev. Leonard Eckroth had some concerns as to the school's future economic status. "He was concerned that if we continue to operate we eventually might not be able to," she said.
Sister Richarde's main concern was how the school would survive with only 19 families involved. Over the past eight years school families had been able to pay over half the school's operating expenses through tuition and fundraisers, she pointed out. "And past patrons were also very supportive. That's how we survived for 79 years. We couldn't have done it without those dedicated families."
Although the school's closing was announced earlier in the year, Sister Richarde said the realism didn't sink in until Bishop Kinny came to Strasburg in April for a Mass and dinner for the school parents.
"That's when it really hit us," she said. "When the parents and children were together and the children saw their parents actually shed a tear. I remember on second grader who stood behind Sister Rosemary, and saw her cry. He looked up at her and said 'good-bye Sister,' finally realizing the finality of the school closing. He still prays in class that the school won't close. Children really feel it."
One such student who will feel a deep loss when St. Ben's finally shuts its doors is Marie Wikenheiser, a fifth grader. The daughter of Clarence and Nina Wikenheiser of Strasburg, Marie has attended St. Ben's for five years.
Despite her young age, a Catholic education is very important to Marie, especially at St. Ben's. "I like out teachers and we can have a Catholic education so we can learn to be better people and be nicer to each other," she said. "We get to know what's wrong and try not to do that. I think I would understand more if I stayed here."
Marie says that her friends and classmates at St. Ben's feel the same way about the closure as she does. "We wish it could stay open but we know it can't."
The things Marie will miss most next year are the Sisters, Friday Masses and religion. Highlights of the school year besides the Friday Masses are the Sing of peace in Christ, Catholic schools week, band, sports, Christmas programs and the Marian Year celebration. But religious training won't be lost entirely to the children. The brick St. Ben's building will be used as a CCD Center, where Catholic students will spend one hour a week in religious classes.
Following the school year, Sister Richarde will return to Dickinson. She has spent 13 years as a teacher, and principal for the last eight years. She will miss St. Ben's and Strasburg. "This has been home to me, because in a small community you get to meet a lot of people. I've been invited to a lot of their homes."
St. Benedict Elementary School has weathered a lot of storms in
its 79-year existence, including the diphtheria epidemic of 1916,
the Great Depression of the '30s, and declining enrollment.
When its doors finally close on May 26, it will be missed by former
students, patrons and friends. But it will also provide a lot of
fond memories.
St. Benedicts opened in 1910
By Ted Albasini
Strasburg's first parochial school opened its doors on Nov. 7, 1910, some six weeks before the completion of St. Peter and Paul Church. The first teachers were Ursuline Sisters whose Motherhouse was in Calveriensberg, Ahreveiber, Germany. Father Max Speckmeier was the first parish priest, and then the school's enrollment jumped from 70 to 170 in six months. By 1913, 200 students were enrolled.
In 1916 the school was closed because of the diphtheria epidemic, but two years later a new brick building was built at a cost of $50,000. That building is the same one where St Benedict now holds classes.
Enrollment soared to 300 students by 1920, and a Catholic high school was started. That project was abandoned during the 1923-24 school year.
St. Benedict's became an elementary and high school in 1930-31, but the high school closed in 1931-32 when Strasburg Public operated an elementary and high school. The school was hit hard during the Depression. In the years 1934 through 1937, the St. Ben's Elementary School was in operation, but ceased to operate during the years 1937 through 59. In 1949 a new addition, which became Emmons Central High School was built to house St. Benedict's Elementary School. In the school years 1960-61 through 1965-66 there was a St. Benedict's elementary and high school in operation. Emmons Central High School opened in the school year 1966-67 and St. Benedict's became an elementary school without any first graders.
During the 1980's enrollment declined in many Emmons County schools, including St. Benedict's. Since 1969 the school consisted of only grades one through eight.
In 1943 the Ursuline Sisters left St. Ben's and were replaced by the School, Sisters of Notre Dame, whose Motherhouse is in Mankato, MN. The Sisters of Norte Dame are still at the school.

The bitter coldness of the Winter season tends to bring out the inner Roger Ebert in even the most positive among us. From chapped lips, to slushy sidewalks, to criminally expensive utility bills- laundry lists of complaints are not difficult to compose this time of year. On the plus side, the act of complaining about the latest Blizzard or the biting 10 degree wind can bring a sense of unity to people of all walks of life. Winter may be punching you in the face, but it is punching us all in the face- regardless of creed, race or religion. Say what you will about old man winter, but he is truly an equal opportunist.
Besides the comfort offered by a new found comradery with your fellow man, this Winter you can find solace in the knowledge that you are doing your part in protecting the environment while reducing your ever-growing energy bills by following any combination of the following tips!
Windows: Not surprisingly, seeing as they are by their very nature portals to the outside, windows tend to be one of top culprits in heat escaping your home. Luckily, there are ways to prevent your windows from going all Billy the kid on your valuable heat. Try installing heavy curtains or sealing your windows with plastic. If you notice any significant leaks, be sure to seal them with weatherstripping or caulk. Same goes for doorways, don't let their trustworthy exteriors fool you, doors can be just as guilty of heat thievery as their window brethren.
While you are at it, make your windows work for you. No, you will not need to give them a paycheck come the end of the week, just try opening your blinds when the Sun is out to utilize its incredible heating abilities. No need to check references, the Sun is known for doing a bang up job supplying warmth. If you do not believe me, just ask your cat, Senor Whiskers, next time he is curled comfortably in the one slither of sunlight in the entire house.
Thermostat: Listen, I know you love rocking the cut-off jeans look 24-7-365, but it is time to give those bad boys a few months off and turn down the thermostat. No, I don't mean down to 75, let's be reasonable. Try keeping the thermostat set to 68 or below when you are at home, and even lower when you are not or you're in bed. You should think about investing in a nice, Cosby-like sweater and a programmable thermostat that will take the think work out of all of these temperature adjustments. I know there is not too much time for thinking with that Van Halen cover band you started last year.
I am fairly certain 85 percent of Americans and 12 percent of dogs received a Snuggie this holiday season, so this is the perfect time to crank down the heat and bust out that stylish blanket.
Fan: "Fans, they are not just for summer anymore!" – The Council for Fan Awareness. If you missed this entirely fictional campaign by the CFA this fall, you may not be aware of the fact that your ceiling fan is not a place to hang birthday balloons off of during winter months! Ceiling fans in reverse at a low setting help to redistribute warm air that pools near the ceiling.
Furnace: Furnace maintenance is important. I am not just saying this because the American Furnace Workers Union sent me a Snuggie this holiday season. Your furnace will work less hard and use less fuel if the filter is kept clean. Depending on your furnace, these filters should be cleaned or replaced every one to three months.
Snow Removal: Shoveling may have the prestigious position as the most complained about winter activity, right after luging. Other than waiting for the warmer weather of the Spring, which depending on where you live may not come until late May, shoveling is the most eco-friendly way to remove snow from your sidewalks. Also, it will help give you rippling abs that will make you a total babe come beach season. If you just can not fathom parting with your snow blower, opt for electric models. Avoid ones that run on gas, for they release more harmful greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
Water Usage: Heating is not alone to blame for your soaring utility costs this winter. Hot water is still a factor, so try to cut down shower times, or take cooler showers- a tip that will help protect your dry winter skin as well as your bank account. You may also try washing your laundry- which hopefully will be cut-offs free for the season- in cold water.
Winter can be a cruel mistress, but with a little effort you can make these cold months a little easier on the planet and your wallet. So put on your best Cosby sweater, grab a shovel and commiserate with a neighbor or two. Come Spring, small talk is going to get a whole lot trickier.

The Recitation Hall at Mount Hermon was built in 1884, funded by royalties from "Moody & Sankey Gospel Hymns." It contained recitation rooms used to teach all of the school's subjects except for science, a reading room, and the school's main library. In the upper floor was an assembly hall, used for daily and Sunday religious services as well as large-scale lectures. In 1886 the "Student Volunteer Movement," in which 100 young Mount Hermon men signed up to serve as missionaries, was initiated in this building.
The Silliman Science Hall (also called Silliman Laboratory) was built in 1892, the gift of Horace B. Silliman of Cohoes, NY. Dwight L. Moody, the founder of Mount Herman, wished to provide the best technology possible for its students and outfitted this hall with labs for physics, chemistry, biology, agriculture, recitation rooms, and a lecture hall that seated 234. Its iron-free 102' x 52' structure also housed a museum, large mechanical drawing room and a science library.
Being four miles from town, Mount Herman may have had to depend on well water. It may have been drawn using wind power, as evidenced by the tall windmill in the foreground.

Just when we think we've seen all existing memorabilia about Westminster Kennel Club (WKC) in Babylon, something new surfaces. However, a rare editorial titled "Manly Sport of Pigeon Shooting" with a clubhouse closeup photo from The Illustrated American March 24, 1894 isn't really new.
The 108-year-old article is a commentary reflecting the attitude of wealthy shooters during that era. The accompanying photo of well-dressed men standing outside the clubhouse is the only picture known to exist of a pigeon shoot at WKC Babylon.
The source of such a precious artifact? Well, eBay, of course. On May 5, I received simultaneous emails from Mary Cascone, Babylon Town historical archivist and Bill Frohlich, former Town historian saying that something that matched "WKC in Babylon, NY" had just gone up for auction. I was at the Babylon Shelter and could only make out the year 1894 on my tiny smartphone, designed for the notso smart owner. I had no articles from 1894 so I rushed home to see the listing on a bigger computer screen. Click: "Buy It Now." Sold!
For those readers unaware of the search for Sensation, Westminster had a clubhouse and kennels on 64 acres in Babylon, just west of Southards Pond. Sensation the WKC emblematic Pointer was buried under a flagpole on the clubhouse front lawn in 1887. With the help of WKC, historians and other incredible people within and outside the dog world, I have been hunting for that precise spot over five years now, while chronicling discoveries in "Pets." More than 40 WKC columns are archived at www.babylonbeacon.com. Much of the evidence points to one spot as the Pointer's final resting place but definitive confirmation still eludes us. That's why additional information is so useful.
Let's look at new WKC clues within a historical context. The Illustrated American was a weekly news magazine published in NYC, London and Paris at the turn of the last century. The Civil War had been over almost 30 years. Among the material in this 1894 issue is a picture of a Mr. Maurice Barrymore (ancestor of Lionel and Drew) in a play on Fifth Avenue, plus a lament about the delay in the completion of Grant's Tomb- "If the gentlemen having in charge the construction of Grant's tomb had been intrusted [sic] to them the conduct of the war, it is safe to say the distressing event would have been continued to our own times."
Westminster kept a sportsman's club in Babylon from 1880 to 1904 to house up to 200 dogs and to host pigeon shoots. Because of a revival of interest among moneyed men, pigeon shooting was added (and contested) as an event for one time only during the 1900 Olympics in Paris. Detailed scores of each Babylon shoot appeared in local papers as well as the NY Times and Brooklyn Eagle, and a photo of a Babylon match was chosen for The Illustrated American testimonial defending the inhumane sport where birds were released from underground traps and blown to smithereens.
Take a look at the article's rationalization: "There are persons who look upon this as a cruel pastime. But when one considers that the ultimate end of a pigeon is to have his neck wrung and to be sold in the market, it would appear far less cruel that he should end his days like a flash of lightning, and dying, enjoy the reputation of having done good service for the manly sport. Before it comes to their turn to take their places in the traps, these pigeons have a pleasant time of it. They are specially bred for the purpose and very well cared for in order that they may be strong on the wing." Oh, really? The article goes on to say that the most stylish shoots are held in Monte Carlo.
All this brings us to the fabulous new photo. Does it provide location clues? Mr. Stifel, WKC historian, had never seen it. The only close-ups we have belonged to the Ewell family that purchased the clubhouse from WKC in 1904 after NYS outlawed pigeon shoots. Gathered are about 20 men in front of the shooting house waiting their turn. You can see part of the large clubhouse in the background, a good view of the pulling box and scoring booth, and under a magnifier, a wooden chair behind the shooter. The shooter but not the trap is visible, so it is impossible to tell if the WKC complex is as close to the pond as I think it is. Once again the area seems flatter and more spacious than the same property in the woods is now, even though old aerial photos show a peculiar clearing there. The clubhouse burned down in 1918.
Sensation had died seven years before 1894. Our eyes focused in this new photo on what appears to be part of a flag flying over the shooting house. Why don't we see the pole? Is this flag on the Sensation flagpole or is it a second flag attached to the gable of the shooting house?
Mr. Stifel gathered other WKC Babylon flagpole photos on one document to examine its position and compared it to the newly discovered photo. The pictures went out to the canine contingents- Mary Bloom, WKC photographer, Barbara Kolk, former AKC librarian, Karen Blasche, historian for the American Pointer Club; and to local history buffs, Bill Frohlich and to Sensation search enthusiast Don Whalen in Maine who grew up on the east side of Southards Pond in the 1940s. The email debate continues because with each new clue, the sensational mystery is compounded rather than clarified. Oh, a time machine would be much easier!
For Adoption at Last Hope Animal Rescue (631-946- 9528), 3300 Beltagh Ave. Wantagh: During the Last Hope Wantagh first anniversary celebration, seven desperate dogs were airlifted from a packed Kentucky shelter by a team of three pilots via a Pilots N Paws transport. The happy dogs landed at Republic Saturday. Shown here are "Star" & "Sugar" part of the rural Beagle surplus, and "Spunky" a Shih Tzu/Brussels Griffon mix. Other new KY arrivals include "Mater," a Jack Russell mix and "Fancy" a tiny Border Collie mix. Originally from Babylon Shelter are "Mattingly" the Cocker and "Trump" the German Shorthaired Pointer who was featured here last week.

duplicity of locofocoism — much remains to be added the cass and butler press designedly omits till reference to another vote of mr fillmore in reference to the resolutions of giddings — before the lat ter withdrew his resolutions another ques tion came before the house to wit : shall lhe main question he now put '" mr fill more with a majority ofthe house voted no thereby refusing to entertain the main question which was " that tlie house do ai_ree to the resolutions see journal house of representatives 2d session 27th congress pages 007 s !) and 370 it is true that mr fiiiraore voted a gainst the preamble and resolutions offer ed by mr w.ller his object was to treat giddings with withering contempt as a brainless crazy fanatic not to ele vate him into consequence by an appear ance of persecution he wished to see the resolution kicked out ofthe house as the effusion of a madman and besotted bigot mr fillmore voted against all proceedings on ihe subject deeming it as much beneath the dignity of the house to discuss mr gidding's insane folly as it would have been gravely to debate a pro position to dissolve the union or to change the form of our government that these were tlie motives which influenced mil lard fillmore is evinced by a fact care fully kept from view by his detractors viz : that mr fillmore did every thing in his power to deny to giddings an oppor tunity of making a speech in his own de fence for having presented the obnoxious resolutions an extract from the journals will sufficiently sustain this fact and make still more manifest the gross and glaring injustice of the locofoco press extract from the journal of the house of re presentatives 2d session 27th congress march 22d 1842 page 573 " pending the motion of mr weller for the previous question mr giddings inquired oflhe | chair whether the effect ofthat question ifsus tained would be to exclude him from giving his reasons why the resolution should not pass ? the speaker decided that if mr giddings desired to be heard in his defence and claimed il as a malter of privilege he would not enter lain the previous question at this lime as it would cut him off from his right of defence ; " mr giddings then moved that the further consideration of this subject be postponed until thursday week next to the end that he might prepare his defence " debate arising on this motion mr fill ' more submitted ihat debate was not in order and ihat the motion for lhe previous question by mr weller should be now entertained by the speaker the speaker then decided thai in hisjudg j ment the matter before lhe house was a ques tion of privilege ; and that on a question involv ing the privilege of a member of lhe house lhe previous question could not be applied and consequently that the motion for postponement was open for debate " from this decisien mr fillmore took ap \ i peal to the house and afier debate j the previous question on the appeal was | moved by mr hopkins and was demanded { and put viz : shall the main question be now i ! put ?" i and passed in the affirmative i on the next day the question was put viz : ! " shall the decision ofthe chair stand as he j < judgment of the house ?" and it was deter i i mined in the negative : yeas 64 nays 118 i so that mr fillmore's views were manlained j by the house and mr giddings was thereby ! refused the privilege of speaking in defence of j i his odious resolutions < and now whigs and demacrals we have j ' laid bare lo you the disreputable juggling of ' i that party which seeks to retain power by fraud ! i and falsehood beaten at all points ;

Panasonic might reign unchallenged as king of plasma, but the LED-powered TX-L42E30B proves that its commitment to LCD is no less fierce.
The 42-inch set sits near the top of Panasonic's 2011 range and is only out-specified by the smaller, 3D-toting TX-L37DT30B and TX-L32DT30B. The E30 range also features a pair of smaller screens, the TX-L37E30B and the TX-L32E30B.
It's a bit of a looker, too. While some recent Panasonic TVs appeared to have been designed by a collection of three-year olds armed with a bunch of black crayons, this one hits all the right notes.
Combining a sleek cabinet factor with a thin bezel around the screen and a neat, dark grey finish. It's not as eye-catching as Samsung's new D8000 series LEDs, but many will find its mature aesthetics a better match for their living room.

RAS Corporate Services Ltd.
The company is a small handful of individuals that manage a large base of financial clients in the Bahamas. We want to keep our appearance modern and edgy but still very strong, professional and corporate looking.
Our target market is mostly our current client base and any new customers that are referred to us. Our current clients trust us to manage their finances as well as other areas of their life and we want our image to reflect that trust!
We would like a logo for the name:
RAS Corporate Services Ltd.
We want something corporate and professional looking but still somewhat modern and edgy. We are located in the Bahamas but we don't want the flag colors included or anything too "beachy" in the logo (like I said, it needs to be professional and the flag colors have been done to death here). We are a financial based company but we don't want dollar signs or money of any sort being depicted in the logo (too tacky). Also, we want the colors to be fairly business like (no hot pink :) Any logos or imagery you use should depict strength, security and trust.
Other than that, you are free to come up with anything you'd like. We are open to whatever interpretations you have for the design and are very excited to see what you come up with.
The files we require are: .AI (CMYK w/ text converted to outlines) and an EPS.

Design sleek, modern, forward-looking corporate logo expressing the identity of a global real estate development and investment company, focused on urban mixed-use, housing, retail, lodging and other commercial properties designed for today's Urban Lifestyle Generation. See website page holder image at "http://www.urbcent.com" for a feel of who we want to become.
Urban Century Group
The logo design should incorporate the name "Urban Century Group", or possibly "Urban Century" with Group in smaller somewhere below, but should have a defining icon as well, above, below, to the side or otherwise attached to the words.
It should inspire modernity and express the Group's mission.
The Group's mission will be to invest in the development and ownership of significant urban assets that can transform neighborhoods and cities for our age's urban future and lifestyle choices. We dub this age the Urban Century. We seek to create an organization whose activities will enable vibrant & healthy urban growth, in and around the existing urban cores, to serve the generations of dwellers that are redefining urban culture in old cities and growing new ones.
Three defining themes underlie our long term vision for Urban Century Group: (i) Migration towards an Urban Planet, (ii) Sustainability in Urban Development, and (iii) the Urban Lifestyle Generation.
Keys words/ideas to think of are Urban Density, Proximity to Mass-Transit nodes, High-Rise Bldgs, Sustainable and Green Bldgs, Fully Amenitized & Serviced Properties connected to the Urban Core in major global cities.
