|Latino Impact On USA Baseball Is Major League
|Written by Mike Terry
|Thursday, 19 September 2013 03:30
The Number Of Players, Fans Continues To Grow

Best In The Game -- Miguel Cabrera, being congratulated after hitting a home run, is considered the best hitter in the major leagues. Last year Cabrera became the first player in 45 years to win the Triple Crown, leading the American League in batting average, home runs, and RBIs.
This is the third and final part in a series on Latinos and baseball.
Take a look around Major League Baseball in the USA today and what do you see? An international game of diversity, with players from every hue of the human rainbow.
Of the 856 players on the 2013 Opening Day 25-man rosters and inactive lists (750 active and 106 disabled or restricted major league players), 241 – representing 15 countries and territories – were born outside the USA. That percentage, 28.2, is the fourth highest of all-time since the game began tracking such data in 1995, according to MLB officials. That's not even counting those players born in the USA whose surnames suggest they came from somewhere else.

An Iconic Pirate -- The late Roberto Clemente recorded 3,000 hits in 18 seasons with Pittsburgh and was on two World Series championship teams. He was the first Latino elected to baseball's Hall of Fame..
And there's never been a better time to be a Latino ballplayer. "We are currently in the golden age of the Latino impact in organized baseball," notes Anthony Salazar, a Latino baseball historian and member of the Society For American Baseball Research. "We have nearly a third of all major league ballplayers being of Latin descent.
And nearly half of all minor league players are of Latin descent."
Salazar is not the only person unsurprised by what is happening.
"If you take a look at All- Star rosters, the majority of both sides were peppered with Latinos," said Tomas Benitez, a Dodgers blogger and a cofounder of the Latino Baseball History Project of the Baseball Reliquary.
"And it's not just players from Mexico. The islands – Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic – have been critical…when Mexicans came over here from the 1910 Revolution, they didn't come over playing soccer. They were playing baseball. Soccer was a club sport. Baseball had a whole subculture of leagues, teams, and parks for years before soccer had the same kind of infrastructure."
Indeed, the historical presence of Latinos in American baseball runs long and deep. But what has emerged over the past 15-20 years is a level of depth on the playing field that doesn't seem close to reaching its peak.
For example, Miguel Cabrera of the Detroit Tigers last year became the first hitter since 1967 to win the Triple Crown, leading the American League in batting average, home runs and RBIs. He began this week owning the best batting average in baseball (.350) and RBIs (133), and would be chasing a second straight triple crown were it not for injuries and the tremendous home run season produced by Baltimore's Chris Davis.
Cabrera is considered the best hitter in the game today. The man he replaced? Albert Pujols, now with the Angels, who won two World Series rings and three MVP awards with the St. Louis Cardinals. They are not alone. At the beginning of this week, 20 of the top 50 hitters in the majors were Latino.
The arms are also plentiful. Marlins right-hander Jose Fernandez had the second best earned run average (2.19) in baseball behind the Dodgers' Clayton Kershaw (1.94). Jorge De La Rosa of Colorado, and Francisco Liriano of Pittsburgh were tied for fourth in wins with 16. Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera will retire after the season as the all-time leader in saves. And so on.
This is not an aberration, a blip or a trend. The MLB landscape is undergoing a shift in the style and faces of the game. And the party – make that fiesta – shows no signs of stopping.
A Brief Historical Rundown
Nemesio and Ernesto Guilló first introduced American baseball to Latin America in 1864 in Cuba with the foundation of the Habana Baseball Club, according to most historical accounts. Other Latino countries took to the game; Mexico was introduced to it in 1882, Nicaragua in 1888, and Venezuela starting its own league in 1895.
Esteban Enrique Bellán of Cuba became the first Latino player to play for a professional team when he played for the Troy Haymakers and the New York Mutuals of the old National Association, a precursor to the National League. Rafael Almeida and Armando Marsans, who both joined the Cincinnati Reds of the National League in 1911, are considered the first Latinos to play in what was now considered Major League Baseball.
The first Latino star was Adolfo Luque, who won 27 games for the Cincinnati Reds in 1923 and played for 20 years from the late 1910s through the 1930s. Though Luque was successful, many other Latino players of that era were not as fortunate, with brief and undistinguishable careers in the late 1910s and 1920s. And only light-skinned Latinos were given an opportunity to play. Dark-skinned Latinos could play in the Negro Leagues.
In 1949 Minnie Minoso became the first dark-skinned Latino to sign with a major league team (Cleveland), and broke into the majors with the Chicago White Sox in 1951. He would help open the door for others like Roberto Clemente, Orlando Cepeda and Juan Marichal, who had Hall of Fame careers with Pittsburgh, St. Louis and San Francisco.
Baseball Academies
Still, in the 1950s and 1960s, very few Latino players were stars. But the seeds to bring about a change were soon being planted.
"In the mid-1970s, MLB had already experienced the first 2-3 waves of Latino players," said Marcos Breton, a Sacramento Bee columnist and author of the book, "The Life and Times Of A Latin Ballplayer."
"But those 1970s teams noticed a lot of talented players were failing in the minors for various reasons, like not properly assimilating into American culture, and it was something the teams then were not equipped to deal with. There had to be a smarter way to approach it. Free agency was also starting, and some teams felt Latino players were a cheaper alternative."
One solution, Breton said, was to build and develop baseball academies, first in the Dominican Republic and then Venezuela.
"The Dodgers were the first to do it (in 1987), then the Toronto Blue Jays," Breton said. "Both teams had scouts familiar with Dominicans, and those scouts sold their teams on building academies on the island to house players, feed them, drill the players on the game, also teach them rudimentary English, and talk to them about things about America they need to be aware of."
Some players who came from the academy and made it to the Dodgers include Raul Mondesi, Pedro Astacio, and Pedro Martinez, although Martinez would have his best years with the Boston Red Sox.
"Baseball is like all businesses; if one succeeds with something, everyone else jumps in," Breton said. "Just about every team now has an academy in the Dominican or Venezuela. Teams realized they needed Spanishlanguage coaches at the developmental levels, and the more money they invested into the academies the more they want them to work."
But it's not all about practical application. Salazar points out that in several Latino countries, aspiring players are taught to know and appreciate those who came before them.
"(Former) players like Orlando Cepeda and Roberto Clemente are looked upon as incredible pioneers that kids look up to," he said. "It's incredible the way pioneers are revered in those countries. I don't know if you find something similar here, if kids talked about Reggie Jackson and Nolan Ryan in the same way."
Growth Continues
In 1990, Latinos represented 13 percent of major league baseball players. By 1997 that number had increased to 24 percent surpassing the amount of African-American baseball players (17 percent) in the Major Leagues.
"Conditions are much better for Latino players than even 20 years ago. Clubs make interpreters available, and have classes in the minors on American culture, helpful phrases to use, and on American life. The transition is easier," Salazar said.
The growth is not only on the field, but also the stands, especially in big cities like Los Angeles and New York.
"The Dodgers have done a brilliant job of marketing," Benitez said. "There's an old saying; 'If you want people to come, you have to invite them.' They want Latinos to come to the ballpark. The Dodger model (of promotions aimed specifically toward the Latino audience) is very successful and only getting better."
"And if you look at the shifting demographics at where Latinos are living," adds Salazar, "you see interesting pockets in Utah, Indiana, and North Carolina where those minor league teams have Latino promotions. You see it with major leagues. That is part of the evolution.
Clubs recognize the buying power of Latino fans, especially in New York, L.A., Miami – even Seattle. Also indicative is how those clubs are leveraging their social media presence, too, with Facebook and other websites in Spanish to complement the Spanish radio and TV broadcasts."
That doesn't mean all is well. Salazar said more Latinos should be considered for manager and front office jobs. Benitez voiced concerns that the academies can also create false hopes for becoming a major leaguer.
"There is such a fanatical desire to escape rampant poverty, the kids there are exploited in that (teams) bring in 100 and pick one," Benitez said. "If you don't cut it at the academy, they send you back to the sticks and you're left with nothing."
Still, for every Latino youngster who dreams of being another Clemente, Cabrera – even the next Yasiel Puig – there has never been a better time to make that dream come true.

Real insight there. Johnson is NASCAR's best right now, and Jr cant catch a break….. I am in the wrong business…
« Follywood: How long can NASCAR justify two dates for LA area track? | Main | Twitter changing the relationship between NASCAR drivers, fans and media »
It was business as usual for Johnson and Junior in California
By admin | February 22, 2010
By Richard Allen
Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. are without question two of the biggest stars in NASCAR. Both drive for Hendrick Motorsports. That's pretty much where the similarities end.
Over the past four years Johnson has set standards that may never be lived up to by another driver. He has won four championships and 29 races in that time. His team is regarded as the epitome of how a race team is supposed to operate.
Junior, on the other hand, has been snake bit like few others before him. After winning 16 races in his first six seasons, his next four have provided little to get excited about. In the same time Johnson was going about the business of claiming ownership of the Sprint Cup trophy Junior only managed to eek out two victories. In that time, Earnhardt's team has seemed disorganized and ineffective.
Sunday's race at the Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California continued the trends described above for both drivers.
Johnson had a strong car throughout the weekend. He qualified 7th and was at or near the top of the page during the practice sessions. Throughout much of the event he ran close to the front of the pack. But in the late stages of the event he received the break of the day.
Just after Johnson brought the #48 Chevrolet onto pit road, a caution flag flew. His crew was able to complete service on the car and get him back out ahead of the leader, thus keeping him on the lead lap. Other drivers who found themselves in the same situation were not as fortunate. When everyone else pitted under the caution, Johnson assumed the lead. After a brief battle with fellow Californian Kevin Harvick, he pulled away to the 48th win of his career.
There's an old saying that says something to the effect of luck is the result of preparation meeting opportunity. The pit road break was an example of the good fortune the #48 team so often finds and a great deal of that 'luck' is the result of preparation meeting opportunity.
The misery that has marked Earnhardt's career over recent years only continued on Sunday. An average qualifying run led into an average race for the #88 team until disaster eventually set in.
"I've got a flat!†Junior frantically radioed to his crew.
"I think it's a broken axle,†crew chief Lance McGrew declared in his reply.
"I'm telling you I've got a flat!†Junior insisted.
After the crew changed four tires and dropped the jack it turned out McGrew was correct in his assumption. Then, chaos set in.
"We'd better have another axle on the pit box!†McGrew exclaimed to the scrambling crew members. It turns out they did not have a spare which sent crewmen rushing to the garage area to get one. After a few moments of waiting, McGrew told the team to push the car back to the garage. "We can fix it faster back there,†he dejectedly explained.
Ultimately, Earnhardt wound up in 32nd place, twelve laps behind. This was a particularly disappointing result after having the 2010 season begin in a promising way in Daytona with a 2nd place finish.
For Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt, Jr. the Auto Club 500 proved to be business as usual. For one Hendrick Motorsports driver that was a good thing, for the other it was not.

I saw it somewhere else.
"Johnson proves that Daytona was an abberation."
And, so did Jr.
JJ is the best in NASCAR under tha current points system.
People pounded Kurt Busch and said he did not deserve the championship he won. Wonder why we don't hear that about JJ?
IMO, JJ is a two time Champion and J. Gordon is a Six time Champion.
Dave Says:
February 23rd, 2010 at 4:53 pm
Yes, Gordon is a six time champ but Jimmie is still an elite driver. I don't care how good your CC is, 48 wins is an impressive accomplishment. Jimmie rarely makes driving mistakes and knows what to do with the cars that Chad sets up. And yes, the #48 teams knows how to win the Chase but they also rack up a ton of points over 36 races (old system).
Some of Jr's woes have been bad luck, but it's also true you make your own luck. I've always felt Jr was over his head in the Hendrick talent pool. He's a decent driver and a likable fellow but I do not consider him an elite driver. Eventually he'll be moved along like Mears, Vickers, Nadeau, Nemecheck, et al. The marketing $$$ and fan base will buy Jr a little extra time at Hendrick.
Marybeth Says:
February 23rd, 2010 at 6:50 pm
Does anyone know what happened to Jr.'s brakes in qualifying…? The car was brand new, neither raced nor tested, according to their race preview.
HMS needs to let Jr. go, & the sooner the better. They have let enough other drivers go.
Can you imagine Chad's not having a part ready to replace & have to run back to the garage…?

The European Party Is Over
Joshua is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Forward thinking European nations like Germany and Spain have paved the way in developing solar power. The problem is that recessions and massive unemployment have a habit of stopping government subsidies. Investor confidence in the Spanish clean energy projects has been destroyed after the government announced it would retroactively cut subsidies. Germany recently stated it would pull the plug on its subsidies by 2018. Now, a number of solar manufacturers will feel the pain from these cuts.
SPWR Total Return Price data by YCharts
Look at China
Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE) is a powerful Chinese solar manufacture, and its European prospects are falling. The European Union is looking to slap tariffs on Chinese panels. In 2013 the company expects German shipments to fall to 20% of all shipments, down from 23% in Q4 2012. Import tariffs or export caps coupled with falling subsidies will affect China's Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL) as well. In 2013 Germany is expected to record just 19% of its sales, down from 33.1% in 2012.
Yingli's finances are already on weak footing. Europe will only push the company further into the red. Yingli's balance sheet is full of debt with a total debt to equity ratio of 8.68 and a current ratio of 0.8. Low costs simply are not enough. In Q1 2013, its overall non-silicon cost fell to $0.47 per watt, and its overall silicon cost fell to $0.13 per watt, but its gross margin was just 4.1%.
Trina Solar is in a better position than Yingli, but not by much. Trina Solar is stuck with a Q1 2013 overall gross margin of 1.7% and an operating margin of -15.4%. The good news is that its total debt to equity ratio of 1.59 is manageable.
The Other Side of the Coin
While China is stuck in the middle of Europe's mess, American manufacturers like First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR) and Sunpower (NASDAQ: SPWR) are a different story. Around two thirds of First Solar's potential booking opportunities are found in North America and Latin America. The rest of its opportunities are focused in the Asia Pacific region and the Middle East. Europe already plays a relatively small role in the company, and Europe's falling subsidies will have a comparatively small impact.
Sunpower is focused on North America and it is poised to grow, as more of America reaches grid parity. In Q1 2013, it generated $423.3 million in revenue from the Americas, while Europe, Middle East, and Africa generated $68.7 million in revenue. In the past the company has been criticized for being overly focused on the Americas, but now this strategy is paying off.
The Financials
Not only will Europe have little impact on First Solar, the company is already on strong financial footing. Its return on investment (ROI) of 9.9%, gross margin of 32.9% and profit margin of 11.4% place it profitable territory. Its debt is almost non-existent with a total debt to equity ratio of 0.15.
SunPower's financials are not as strong as First Solar's, but the company is working to improve its situation. Its gross margin of 14.6% shows that it has more pricing power than many Chinese manufacturers, but its ROI of -22.7% and profit margin of -13.3% need to improve. Thankfully, its partnerships with the Japanese firms Toshiba and Sharp have allowed it to gain a strong foothold in Japan.
Even if the European Union only places minimum prices and quotas on Chinese panels, this will be a negative force on Chinese manufactures. It will take away their pricing advantage and leave Yingli and Trina Solar exposed to more competition. First Solar and Sunpower are more attractive investments with better margins and less exposure to Europe's troubles. Right now Sunpower is far away from First Solar's profit levels, but Sunpower's high reliability should help it to regain some its pricing power.

TEAMS: Memphis Grizzlies, Boston Celtics, Miami Heat
You can add another name to the list of potential players the Celtics could trade for: Rudy Gay. In a recent article on Grantland, Zach Lowe talks about the salary dilemma the Memphis Grizzles currently face and offers moving Rudy Gay as a solution. He presents multiple teams that Gay could be dealt to and Boston is one of them. Lowe's scenario involves trading Avery Bradley, Courtney Lee and Jeff Green for Gay. No way this deal goes through because the Grizzles newly hired stat guru John Hollinger has been very vocal about his disdain for Green's game and his contract. Even if Memphis were open to this deal, Gay would not be happy. He would have to sit the bench because there is no way Doc Rivers sits Paul Pierce. Sitting Ray Allen is one thing, but sitting the face of the franchise for over a decade when he still has the ability to drop 30 on any given night? No chance.

Debunking Miller's Magic 7
Posted By Bryan Eisenberg On October 29, 2004 @ 3:53 pm In ROI Marketing,Web / Tech | 1 Comment
George A. Miller penned a research paper [1] in 1956, "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information." It was groundbreaking in its time. In it, Miller hypothesized the human working memory can hold up to seven bits of information, plus or minus two, at once. Often referred to as "Miller's Magic 7," that theory is the basis of many Web page design decisions. Below, some modern day extrapolations and design conclusions rooted in Miller's research:
Many advances have been made in understanding human memory since 1956. Why does Miller's Magic 7 survive in light of current science [2]? We can't concede that maximizing this informational processing "capacity" is necessary on a Web site.
I want to offer a more current and commonsensical approach to these design element "conclusions." No designer should be bound by a meaningless number rooted in dusty science.

The Apollon Theatre is a theatre located in Patras east of Georgiou I Square, one of Patras' popular squares. It was first completed in 1872 and was planned by the famous German architect Ernst Ziller. It is a micrograph of the La Scala in Milan and is other oldest in the survived closed theatre of the recent years and the sensational architectural ornament of Patras. The Apollon Theatre is the main stage of the Patras Municipal and Regional Theatre since 1988.
The Apollon Theatre was founded on February 11, 1871 and finished and opened on October 10, 1872. The work was paid from the civil community of Patras. The main erection committee constituted from: Theodor Hamburger (president), S. Hancock, M. Gerousis, Dimitrios Patrinos, K. Lappas and A. Chrysanthis. The list with its users were up to around 100 people. Between them includes the then mayor of Patras Georgios Roufos, Gustavos Clauss, Hamburger, Langouras, the Triantis Brothers, Panagiotis Brothers, father of Dimitrios Gounaris, Epameinondas Maximos, father of Dimitrios Maximos, etc.
The Apollon Theatre is presently one of only three theatres with neoclassical architecture that survives in Greece (the other two are the Malliaropouleio Theatre in Tripoli in which opened in 1910 and the Apollo Theatre in Syros in which it first opened in 1864). Today, the Apollon Theatre of Patras raises tactically the representation from the Patras Municipal and Regional Theatre. The theatre can hold up to around 220 to 300 people.

Last week, Anne Thomas Manes, a research director with the Burton Group, explained why she wrote SOA's obituary and discussed the benefits of doing SOA right . This week, Manes explains what it takes to really do service-oriented architecture and what companies should be doing instead of integration.
Lawson: It doesn't seem like you're really advocating moving away from the ideas of SOA.
Manes: Oh, absolutely not. One of the responses (to the SOA obituary) in a blog post said that the reason people claim things are dead is because they're bored and it's not exciting enough anymore. No, I'm just really tired of banging my head against the wall because I've been telling people that they need to do architecture, but instead of doing architecture, they do integration and they're not actually re-architecting their systems.
"Any time somebody has to switch from one application to another application in order to get a single process done, that's really dumb. Any time somebody has to write something down on paper so that they can go to the next screen and put it in, that's really dumb. Any time that a human has to copy or paste, any time a human has to actually get up and go do something that is not through the computer, well, why is my automation not working here?"
Lawson: My feeling is that there is not a lot of guts for re-architecting right now. Maybe it's resources, will, ability - I don't know-but it seems people aren't willing to completely redo everything.
Manes: I agree with you, and obviously you're not going to re-architect your entire portfolio in a matter of months, right? But what you do is establish your priorities.
I typically say that your SOA initiatives begin with application rationalization. The first thing you have to do is take a look at your application portfolio and rationalize it. Determine what are the applications that I have that actually provide significant value to my business, which applications and how much do each of these applications cost. The applications that provide very little value to the business, but cost an awful lot, are the ones that you want to start getting rid of.
The other aspect of that is to actually understand where you've got duplicative application systems out there. It's like, okay, I've got 10 different applications out here to do billing and why is it that 10 of my applications do billing? Why don't I have one billing service instead of 10 applications that do billing in a different way?
Scheduling is another great example. Lots and lots of applications need to do scheduling. Well, why is it that you have a different scheduler in every single one of these applications? Why don't you have a common scheduling service and whenever an application needs to do scheduling, it calls that scheduling service?
And that's the reason why I keep insisting SOA is much more in the realm of enterprise architecture than it is in individual application architecture. If I'm only doing SOA at an individual application level, what's the difference between SOA and 3-tier or end-tier client/server applications?
If I'm still focused on building this one application that does everything from soup to nuts and I'm not looking at opportunities to externalize a bunch of capabilities from my application and put them into a shared service that other applications can use, then I'm really not doing SOA. I'm still building monolithic applications where this one application may be distributed but it's still a monolithic application. It's solving one end-to-end process and I'm not actually sharing this across any other systems.
Lawson: That brings up a question. You talk about all of these different systems that do the same thing or have some of the same functionality. There is a lot of talk about integrating those because not only are they separate but they often don't even talk to each other. Instead of talking about integrating systems or applications, what should people be talking about doing?
Manes: Refactoring.
Lawson: Refactoring?
Manes: Yes.
Lawson: Okay.
Manes: That is fundamental. That's hard. There aren't too many organizations that are really willing to go do that. That's one of the reasons why I recommend going through the application rationalization process, because that application rationalization will give you an incredibly solid business case to say, "I need to decommission these applications."
You walk into your average large enterprise and it typically has more than 500 applications. In fact, it often has more than 1,000 applications. But, if you actually do an analysis of what it is that this business needs to do and the capabilities that the application software has to support for the business, it usually comes in at somewhere under 50.
Why do I have 500 applications to do 50 things? It's because every single business unit says, "I'm special and the thing that those guys over there are doing - well, it's kind of close to what I do but it's not exactly what I do so I need my own version of it."
Why is it that an organization has thousands of databases often containing almost identical information but it's not semantically compatible? That's because everybody says, "No, no, I have to have my own copy of the data." No, you don't. You might need your own view of the data, but you should not have your own copy of the data.
Having all of this duplication and redundancy in the applications and data architecture is the primary thing that impedes agility. That's because every time you create a new application, you've got to connect it to these other applications. And if all those applications, instead of being monolithic things, were services that implemented a set of capabilities that were much more readily accessible from other things, then integration wouldn't be a problem anymore. You wouldn't have to build all this extra stuff to make this thing talk to that thing.

BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.- Bonita Springs wants some financial help from Lee County in forming a partnership to finance improvements to the downtown area, along Old 41. That section is often called Bonita's downtown, and it needs some upgrades.
The city mayor and manager will meet next week with Lee commissioners, to ask them to form a partnership in community redevelopment. Lee would kick in $13.7 million over a 20 to 25 year period, to finance the improvements to roads, sidewalks, drainage and off-street parking.
Merchants along Old 41 said they believe the county should contribute, but Lee budget planners are not convinced. They are warning commissioners to avoid long-term pledging of cash, since the county has just come out of several very difficult budget cycles.
Bonita city officials believe that Lee and the city would benefit from higher property values in the redevelopment area. It stretches along Old 41, from Bonita Beach road, north to Rosemary.

Necessity is known as the mother of invention—and farmers are resourceful when solving a frustration. That was Ron Hesla's experience when his wife inherited a 40-acre river-bottom tract near their home outside Wakonda, S.D.
The first spring Hesla planted the field, wet soil stuck like glue to his no-till planter gauge wheels and slowed the process to a crawl.
Determined to not repeat the experience the following spring, Hesla began tinkering with a gauge-wheel design. His son, Eric, a student at the University of South Dakota, entered a family business plan based on the design in the school's 2007 Extraordinary Idea Competition and won first place. That same year, he earned second place with the plan in the South Dakota governor's Giant Vision Student Competition.
The multiple successes, including five years of on-farm testing, convinced the father and son they had a practical product that other farmers could benefit from as well. The Heslas formally launched their business, Pro Mags LLC.
Eric says that several things about their gauge-wheel system differ from those currently in the marketplace. "The wheel is made of standard steel, but it has a bright silver finish that helps farmers readily see [from the tractor seat] whether the wheel is rotating properly," he says.
A clear coat of lacquer is added to the finish to prevent fading, chipping and rusting.
Eliminate debris. The gauge wheel has a low-slot perimeter that, coupled with the clear-coat finish, helps dirt and debris roll out from behind the wheel better.
"We realized it would be useful to have wheel slots extend as closely as possible to the outer-rim perimeter, in order to avoid a ridge which would further hold back field refuse," Eric says.
The gauge-wheel system is designed to work on all conventional seed planters and drills. The wheels are currently available in two thicknesses, 13 gauge and 11 gauge, both with a 4.5" width. While both are standard sizes, they are lighter in weight than similar products. No planter modification is required to use the Pro Mags gauge-wheel system.
"It takes about 15 minutes per row to install," says Kevin Gale, who farms 1,000 acres near Irene, S.D.
Gale bought the system because he had difficulty planting the rolling hills on his farm. Debris routinely got trapped in the corn planter wheels that came from the factory.
"Every little valley you'd drive through that was a little wet, my gauge wheels would all plug up. Now we sickle right through them, and that saves a lot of time and grief," Gale says.
As part of the gauge-wheel system, the Heslas designed a new universal scraper. It has a radial design that allows farmers to adjust the scraper blade to make contact anywhere along the edge of the opening disk.
Precise placement. The radial design is a first for the agriculture industry.

The result is a 3.5mm female jack getting out the radio. So when you want to listen to music, set the volume of the radio down to minimum, connect your mp3 player (phone, ipod, etc.) and click play!
We need to remove and disassemble the radio and make 4 little weldings in it. We will use an audio 3.5mm female jack cable (but you can use whatever sound interface you like - es. male 3,5mm jack, female-male 6,3mm jack, female/male RCA audio - )
The VDO RD3-00 is a car radio sold with other cars by Citroen/Peugeot:
Peugeot 206
Peugeot 307
Peugeot 807
Citroen Xara Picasso
Citroen C2
Citroen C3
Citroen C8
Citroen Berlingo
I did get the info for the welding from this article, but didn't understood anything else because it is written in Spanish, I think!
Step 1: Remove the radio
Disconnect the ISO connectors (Black for power and VAN bus data communication; White for the four speakers - see piture) Disconnect the grey cable on the right, too.
Step 3: Remove the CD reader
Step 4: Make welds
We weld the left wire to FLV and RLV (see picture).
We weld the right wire to FRV and RRV(see picture).
We connect the ground to the side of the copper box.
FLV: front left voltage
FRV: front right voltage
RLV: rear left voltage
RRV: rear right voltage
here's in spanish. http://www.taringa.net/posts/hazlo-tu-mismo/8809047/Agregar-entrada-AUX-de-audio-a-stereo-de-Peugeot---Citroen.html

Tanager Photography is the photography division of Headwaters Content.
So what the hell does that mean? Basically, this is the stock photography portfolio of a travel photographer — Kevin Day — whose day job as a content developer for premier travel brands offers a nice crossover of sorts. In addition to licensing these images for marketing and editorial purposes, Kevin also offers custom photo shoots and web content to his travel and outdoor recreation clients. It's like having a really talented visual artist who also knows how to craft web content for SEO, engagement and brand marketing.
Born and raised in Colorado, Kevin has always seen photography as an extension of his other passion: writing. Both involve storytelling, personal expression, show-and-tell, and a touch of navel gazing. These two worlds beautifully/horrifically collide on the Tanager Blog.
Kevin has more than 10 years in the travel industry, working with everyone from major destinations such as NYC, Hong Kong, Colorado and Las Vegas, to ski areas, luxury vacation clubs and boutique spa resorts. His content strategy business optimizes websites for SEO and social engagement, as well as streamlines content marketing efforts across web, print and email.
Kevin travels extensively with his wife, Hailey, and their young daughter, Varenna. Sometimes, Hailey snatches the camera from Kevin and snaps a few photos, which is a good thing because she is enormously talented. Born and raised in Maryland, her great Colorado experiment (which started in 1997 when she arrived at Colorado College) is now indefinite. For Hailey, passions aren't so simple. She paints, she cooks, she knits and she designs websites, graphics, and animations for a living with her own company, HeyDay Creative.
Together, their travels have taken them to across a wide swath of Italy, as well as Spain, Switzerland, Hawaii, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Mexico, Belize, Cape Cod and of course, all over the freaking place in Colorado.

Behold! A Paper Bag!1 Reviews
This is a cute title. Interesting chappie.
Chapter 9 - Behold! A Paper Bag!
Seven teenagers sat staring dumbfounded at the coffee table between them. On it was a large paper bag, its contents recently spilled out onto the table. An assortment of wallets, keys, a gold mirror and some boxes of gum lay on the table. A girlish squeal of delight broke the stunned silence as Neil snatched his mirror of the table,
"Oh, I thought I'd lost you forever! It was such a horrible day without you! I had to keep running to the bathroom to check my hair!"
"So it was just sitting here?" Jay asked as Neil lapsed into silence, gazing lovingly at his reflection. Archie and Atlanta nodded. Having raced home, they had been the first to arrive and discover the package.
"I'll see if I can find some fingerprints that might help us identify our delivery service," Odie picked up the bag delicately by the corner. Jay nodded,
"Get on it, I want to thank whoever brought it back, and find out what they know about whoever took it." Everyone gathered up their possetions thankfully, and Odie disappeared into the basement to do his research.
"So Odie, got anything yet?" Jay poked his head into the dimly lit room, "any fingerprints?"
"Yeah, but I'll get to those later," Odie replied, "you had better come look at this first." Jay approached Odie's work. The bag had been dismantled and was now spread flat on Odie's desk, surrounded by various chemicals Jay couldn't name. A black light shone over it and illuminated the letters someone had wrote:
For fire to take,
And hunter to heal,
Here are your positions,
And here's the deal:
The honorable pirate,
Calls an able-bodied crew,
To rise above terror,
And conquer at keel.
The siege-breaker
Calls he who throws stone,
to settle his voice,
and harness his soul.
The raiser of heroes
Calls the seer of time,
To learn how to save
her friends from the nine.
The controller of thoughts,
Calls the one who has many,
To learn the mysterious treaties,
And speak with the power of armies.
The seducer of danger,
Calls the one with great rage,
To face all his fears,
Take advice from the sage.
The huntress of wisdom,
Calls the red-headed virgin
To run with the wolves,
And consummate the kingdom.
The player of fire,
Calls he with the gold,
To learn how to use it,
And be truly bold.
Seven heroes, seven mentors. The proposition has been made.
Well, there you go, an update. I hope it gets you on the edge of your seats. I tried to make a riddle, but its actually fairly obvious what their talking about. Anyway, anyone who decides they want to try and solve the riddle can review, or I believe you can contact me via my profile. Anyhoo, the best answer gets a prize! It could be a secret answer to your burning question, a wicked cool character based on a profile you give me in the story, a story request, whatever you desire! (My discretion, of course) Anyway, you could always just review like a nice reader. Maybe...
Scout out.

"In Britain, political change is always imposed from the top down - half a dozen people who have houses next door to each other in London come to an understanding, win a contest and impose their vision on the party," says the former Bush speech-writer David Frum. "In America, change tends to come from the middle up - from the activists." And the problem with activists is that they tend to prefer passionate commitment to pragmatism. "I call them say-it-louder conservatives," says Frum, in a coffee shop around the corner from the American Enterprise Institute, a neoconservative thinktank where he now has an office. "If people don't like what you're saying, say it louder! Then they'll like it!"The Next Right is an activist blog fitting that description. Possibly too news-driven for you, but there are some general "where next?" pieces there.
Just remember that there are plenty of us that cannot fundamentally understand how a thinking person could proclaim themselves to be a Democrat.

It was music to my ears when the MTM engineer turned to me and said, "We increased the power yesterday to 730 hp from 702. You're the first to try it." Poor me.
You have to hand it to Motoren Technik Mayer. The outfit may be perfectly sized to take on the current worldwide economic rigor mortis and seize upon those several thousand eternally rich and oblivious. Following the recent 553-hp MTM R8, boss Roland Mayer aimed his shop kids at the burly C6 RS6 Avant and tossed them some modified turbochargers to throw into the engine bay. Chief challenge for the new RS6 Avant is its massive mass of 4,464 pounds. How do you enhance this Monster of Momentum yet make sure it's still a docile pet that's good with children?
Fire Wagon One sure-fire approach is to give the 5.0-liter TFSI bi-turbo V10 in the RS6 Avant 149 more horses and 100 lb-ft more torque to drastically improve the power-to-weight ratio. The standard RS6 Avant reads 7.82 pounds per horse, while the MTM surgery changes that to a mere 6.20 pounds per. While maximum torque, 479 lb-ft on the factory car, can stay flat and full from 1500 to 6250 rpm, the RS6 R begs higher revs with its 579 lb-ft full-on between 2750 and 6280 rpm. Acceleration to 62 mph improves from the standard car's 4.6 seconds to 4.3, and top speed is comfortably let out to 193 mph versus the standard car's limited 155. More muscle to hoist things around with more authority is what I'm getting at.
Another secret lies in a more strict suspension setup to keep the RS6 firmly on the right track. Rather than stay put with the stock adaptive suspension and the optional sport suspension plus which mediates Comfort, Dynamic and Sport settings via onboard software, MTM has chucked all that and drilled the chassis to accept some supremely strong, ten-level-adjustable KW coilover dampers in back and an adjustable screw plate also developed by KW for the front towers. The simple frontal setup allows an adjustment range between 0.4 and 1.6 inches lower than stock, while in back the range is between 0.6 and 1.8 inches lower. My car was set up to the minimum chop, so not so much scraping over the ground.
The ride, with the huge 10.5x21-inch cast Bimoto alloys wearing sturdy 285/30 Michelin Pilot Sport Radial X tires, was a welcome shot of terrific responsiveness at all moments, both tracks widened by an eighth of an inch at each corner using spacers. Couple this wider contact patch and stance to an increase in front-end camber by 1.5 degrees at each wheel, and the standard 2.25 turns lock-to-lock, the RS6 R drives at times like a sports car half the weight and height.
Power and torque pounce up primarily due to the standard RS6 IHI turbochargers now modified to improve maximum boost pressure to 20.3 psi from the standard boost of 10.2. Working with ITG on an all-new air filter system for the intakes, clean, cool air flows much more rapidly to feed the need.
"Under that hood," says MTM development director Michael Weber, "there's almost no room for this modification using existing alternatives." The intake tube and filter phase basically wrap around the V10 and the execution is flawless. Once all is combusted and hurrying toward the tail of the underbody, the new performance exhaust bazookas from Top Gear, attached to a re-bent exhaust from an Audi S6, boom the good news across the landscape.
In an interesting less-is-more move, MTM switched out the ample 16.5-inch front discs and six-pot calipers for its own proven 15.9-inch drilled and granulated compound stoppers with customized Brembo six-pot monoblock calipers. These units stop like nuts, but the action is smooth.
As MTM normally does more or less nothing to its interiors, I'm left scanning the exterior for signs of change I can believe in. Luckily, there's a carbon-fiber front spoiler lip and a carbon rear diffuser, both of which add to the lowered car's low-down street cred and high-speed stability out on the autobahn.
Speaking of which, I did manage to reach at least 180 mph for a long stretch or two, and the staunch stability of the RS6 R cannot quite be rivaled even by the latest Abt-Sportsline RS6 Avant. MTM always goes for more aggression in its treatments, and on a smooth highway with no speed limit, this wagon is unshakeable. If it sprouted wings on the sides it might take off smooth as silk. But for everyday driving, I'd take either the 19-inch or 20-inch Bimoto forged wheels instead of these bodacious cast 21s.
Once the next-generation RS6 variants come out in 2011 or 2012, only then will all of this goodness be available to North Americans.
Burning Fat-paring the B7 RS4 down to fighting weight *The current RS4, like the RS6 Avant I recently heaved around Germany, always felt as though it weighed twice what it should. It was as though I was sitting on an elephant's neck, urging the beast to do-eventually-most of what I pleased. Basically, a chore.
To address my whining, and to bless the sad passing of the short-lived B7 RS4, MTM has created its RS4 Clubsport. I'm greeted by no rear seats, a bolt-in steel cage (that weighs as much as the two missing seats but pulls its weight by adding gobs of rigidity), a functioning hood scoop, large Bimoto wheels hiding substantial suspension and brake improvements, and a four-tip Top Gear cat-back exhaust. Should be swell fun even without a power/torque upgrade.
But a power/torque upgrade there indeed is. From 414 hp at 7800 rpm on the stock RS4 sedan, we leap to a superchargeriffic 542 hp way in hell up there at 8220 rpm (530 hp quoted for the U.S.). Torque shifts from 317 lb-ft at 5500 rpm up to 418 lb-ft at 4800. Sixty should be reachable in just 3.7 seconds versus the old 4.6. I'd say the stage is pretty much set.
Nonetheless, I had to ask the dicey question about how much weight MTM pulled out. Technical know-it-most Michael Weber looked at the ceiling, mentally assessing the kilograms ripped forth, and estimated thus: "Right away we probably removed 200 kg, and that was before doing anything special." As I suspected, weight removal on an Audi is simple work. That's 441 pounds right off the bat, so curb weight plummets from 3,957 pounds to a svelte 3,546.
I sit in the sensational Recaro Pole Position seats and take it all in. Feel in the cabin is truly that of a pilot's cockpit. The combo of the tremendously supportive front seats, missing rear seats and Wiechers half roll cage awakens the butterflies in my stomach.
Hit start and there's a big difference in presentation of credentials, even at idle. There's only a little NVH stuffing left in the front wall and the 4,163cc V8 engine sounds fantastic, as it should. A Lysholm twin-screw compressor clamps onto the top of the engine like an alien on John Hurt's face, space issues necessitating that fetching hood scoop. As I accelerate, the tight feeling of all movements and actions seems utterly new to me. After only a short bit of road, I have to say out loud that not only is this the best Audi I've driven, it's one of the best performance cars period.
Certainly, throttle give-and-take is aided by the 8.7 psi of boost pressure from the supercharger, but I also wondered why exactly they didn't pump it up even more-maybe 12? Weber tells me it was a conscious decision not to open the engine and lower compression. As it is, max pressure is up in the highest revs and I delight in the 8200-rpm shift points that are almost required for getting the most out of the car. Happily, below 5000 rpm the RS4 Clubsport is a solid everyday driver on city streets.
A 270mm single-mass steel flywheel designed in-house couples with a very strong pressure plate and friction plate supplied by Fichtel-Sachs. The system is smooth as can be, not as rattle-inducing as many single-mass setups. The gearing here is modified only slightly from the RS4 factory spec, with slightly longer second and third gears, and a final ratio lowered to 3.89 from 4.11. Holding gears longer-especially second and third-is a nice upgrade.
The Clubsport suspension, as it's called, comes from a tight relationship with KW wherein MTM acts as a chief beta tester. The dampers are adjustable for pressure, rebound, and height via an external valve, and paired with racing springs. It's stiff all right, but more responsive than just bang-you-up stiff. In the set calibrated for my drive time, the Clubsport sits 2.4 inches lower than the original article. And what a damned difference it makes in every dynamic sense.
For now, I'm riding on 9.5x19-inch gravity-cast Bimoto wheels with a 30mm (1.2-inch) offset at each corner, but MTM plans to offer a curious set of forged 9x20-inch lightweight racing wheels with the same offset. The lower stance, wider track, and one degree added negative camber all combine to make the steering feel slightly thick and radically on-center, but the fat RS4 steering wheel feels good in the hands.
Then, of course, the high revs required to wring the best from it all make for a sensational song from the exhaust. The sound is smooth and big, just the way I like my Germans. Thanks to Bessie that the front brakes use dimpled 15-inch discs from Performance Friction in the States. These big steel discs with eight-pot fixed calipers allow prolonged stretches of late braking, handily reeling in all of those thrusting revs. Bloody, square-on fun.
Get yours for just around $70k for all the upgrades mentioned here (no rollcage for North America though, sorry), on top of the base MSRP. It's so worth it.

The Pixies announce a Deal-breaker
Kim Deal suddenly leaves the band
Just as no one saw The Replacements reunion coming, no one saw this going down: Kim Deal has suddenly left those other alt-rock icons, The Pixies. And it appears the band is going to carry on without her.
It was announced by the other three members in a short statement on their official Facebook page (the band's official website hasn't had a news update in a year): "We are sad to say that Kim Deal has decided to leave the Pixies. We are very proud to have worked with her on and off over the last 25 years. Despite her decision to move on, we will always consider her a member of the Pixies, and her place will always be here for her. We wish her all the best -- Black Francis, Joey Santiago and David Lovering.
The announcement caught distressed fans by surprise. Deal has been working with her side band The Breeders to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their album "Last Splash." In an interview in today's Irish Times the subject of the Pixies doesn't even come up, much less indicate any trouble. Nor does Deal's official website mention it.
In an interview with me when the band reunited in 2004, Francis admitted that he had problems with the attention that Deal got from fans (he originally broke up the band via fax).
Much of the tension that broke up the band, Black admits, was that between himself and Deal. He was the main creative force in songwriting; she was the main focus of the band. Years ago, he says, they simply couldn't handle that. These days, aided by "maturity and abstinence," they're able to actually appreciate each other.
"Obviously we're a lot more chill about everything. I'm a lot more chill. I'm less stressed out. There's a lot more kisses and hugs going around with the band itself than there was with our last tour."
"Being the principal songwriter, then constantly being question about it in the past as to whether that was legitimate, I always found that really offensive," he says.
"She is so beloved by the audience that it probably freaked me out even more. I don't know why. I don't know if it messed with my ego or it seemed somehow 'The audience doesn't get it!'" he says. "I'm plenty beloved myself. The whole band is beloved by the audience. But the fact that she is so beloved, I have come to accept and appreciate, even from a totally showbiz point of view.
"What's wrong with this picture? Nothing. The audience digs one of the performers onstage, even when she's just standing there, smoking a cigarette and waving hi. It's that thing known as charisma. There is some charismatic connection between Kim Deal and the audience. As opposed to having my feathers ruffled 15 years ago, I kinda get off on it."
He continues, "Obviously there's something going on that is above and beyond her role as the bassist and sometime-vocalist in the Pixies. There's some other thing that makes her as beloved as she is."
Until there's more explanation, we just have the music. Here's the Pixies' breakout hit "Here Comes Your Man" (a semi-duet between Francis and Deal) and the Breeders' biggest hit, "Cannonball."
Once again, affirming the fact, that everyone is a critic and acclaimed musician in his/her own right.
Make way O ye land lubbers to set sail for distant places. Erect the flag, jib the jab and jab the jib. Weigh anchor and let ye venture to lost worlds filled with a bounty of treasure and loot for all!!!

Today's featured blogger is the lovely Waverly of Pich & Roor. Take it away, Waverly!
Tell us a bit about your blog (and how long you have been blogging):
I started my blog back in December of 2010, it's crazy to think that these past 3 years of blogging have gone by so fast! I guess it's only natural that a fashion website inspired me to create a "fashion" (food/diy/random) blog as I'm sure is the case with many bloggers. Back in 2010 I would spend nearly every evening scouring the Lookbook.nu website checking out the newest looks that had been posted & getting totally inspired. Most of the popular looks that were posted were connected to fashion blogs which I really enjoyed reading & got me to thinking that hey this is something I could totally do! I'm pretty bad at posting regularly, but I have some exciting moving plans coming up which should result in a lot more posts!
How long have you been a CapFABB member and what is your favorite CapFABB memory?
I've been a CapFABB member since Aug of 2011 when I went to my first CapFABB meet-up at Violet boutique. It's so funny to look back at this post recapping my first event, because many of the ladies I met that night have become some of my closest friends. It's hard to pick one favorite memory, but I think that my favorite thing about CapFABB has been getting to meet so many phenomenal ladies who not only have a killer sense of fashion, but are also some of the nicest and most talented people I've ever met .. & I get to call them my friends :)
If you could give any advice to other bloggers what would it be? OR what advice are you looking for from other bloggers?
I don't have any ground breaking advice for other bloggers other than make sure to stay true to yourself & your personal beliefs, don't conform just to gain new followers. Also, to make sure that you're being present in the moment, it's ok to put down your iphone & upload your foodie instagram post later so that you can focus on your convo with your friend (I'm speaking to myself too)!
Tell us about yourself…
I'll give you the basics first — age 24, married, work for a police department, midwestern transplant, permanent travel itch, foodie, chatterbox, foul mouth, jokester, extrovert, & next Fall I will be a college graduate… finally!!
Hidden talent or quirky factoid about yourself…
Ohhh gosh this question reminds me of my childhood when guests would come over & my Mom would ask me to draw animals to show them my "talent", the only thing is that I CAN'T draw so they were hideous & the only way you'd know what type of animal is was would be if I told you. Back to the question at hand, I'd say my talent is that I'm really good at reenacting moments from my life that were very dull/pointless and finding a way to make them extremely dramatic & funny aka it's the closest I'll ever get to the big screen (thanks to my friends who put up with this).
What is your favorite part about living in DC?
I live right outside of DC, but I still get to enjoy it regularly and absolutely love having such a diverse bustling city right in my backyard. I really enjoy just walking around and taking everything in as well as exploring new restaurants, particularly bottomless brunch spots!

What type of blogger are you? Ohh gosh, ehh lifestyle I guess. I love cooking so I do a food post every Tuesday, along with sporadic outfit posts, & fun little D.I.Y.s every once in a while.
