Bills' Glenn tackles tough assignments
Cordy Glenn is not eager to accept any compliments on how well his rookie season is going.
Glenn already has a firm grasp of the reality of life for a left tackle in the NFL. Every week there's a star defensive end ready and waiting to make you look bad.
"Every week you're gonna be impressed watching the tape because usually that's the defense's best player or one of its top players you're going against," Glenn said Wednesday. "Once again, it's another challenge this week, so I'm just looking forward to it."
Glenn faces one of the toughest tests of his young career Sunday in Indianapolis when he lines up against Colts veteran Dwight Freeney, a seven-time Pro Bowler whose 104.5 career sacks rank fourth among active players.
Glenn, the 6-foot-6, 345-pounder from the University of Georgia, was a hotly debated second-round pick. Numerous draft analysts doubted whether a man his size could handle left tackle in the NFL. Yet after seven starts he has allowed just one half of a sack, according to unofficial News figures. He has been largely inconspicuous in pass protection, which is a good thing for an offensive lineman.
"He's shutting some people up, I can guarantee you that, and it won't be the first time those guys are wrong," said Bills center Eric Wood, referring to draft analysts.
"I saw part of rookie minicamp [in May], just being up here while I was rehabbing," Wood said. "And I could tell you right away that he could play tackle in this league, just based upon his feet. Heavy-footed tackles don't bode well in the NFL. Defensive ends are the best athletes on the field in terms of size with speed and athleticism. You gotta be able to match up and he's got the feet to do it."
Glenn said he didn't pay a lot of attention to draft forecasts and doesn't use it as motivation.
"I'm not really big on being into the media," Glenn said. "I just was sure that everybody who said that either never saw me play or just thought because I'm a big, massive guy I only belong inside. I think it was more people not actually doing all their homework as they might portray they do. I'm pretty much faster than most linemen so you should put two and two together."
Glenn has played every snap the last three games after missing three games with a sprained ankle.
"He's done an excellent job," coach Chan Gailey said. "I hated that he got hurt, that he lost all those games, because I think he would be even further ahead at this point. But nursing the injuries that he's had, I think he's played extremely well for a rookie."
Teammates say his unexcitable nature is an asset.
"He's a real low-key guy, even on the field," said running back Fred Jackson. "He'll make a great play and you'll congratulate him, and he'll say, 'Thank you.' He'll get a false start and say, 'Darn it.' There's not much high and not much low with him. I think that's a good attribute to have."
"He's an extremely quiet guy – almost introverted," Gailey said. "It gives him a certain amount of patience on the football field, which at tackle, playing those speed rushers, is a good thing. If you get too jacked up you can make some mistakes."
"It's my personality," Glenn said. "Just don't try to get too high or too low on most things. Just staying consistent is the big thing for me."
Glenn had exceptionally strong games early in the season against Kansas City and Cleveland. He had key blocks on two TD runs against the Chiefs. He held his own in two games against New England rookie Chandler Jones.
He showed his mobility on a 14-yard TD run by Jackson at New England. Glenn got a chip block on the defensive tackle, then moved out on linebacker Jerod Mayo to seal off an alley for Jackson to cut through on the way to the end zone.
"He did a good job of pinning the edge, and then I just had to find the crease," Jackson said.
"We did a good job of staying on our blocks and going to [when] the whistle was blown," Glenn said. "You always get told that in drills – keep going to the whistle."
Against Miami last week, Glenn mostly faced edge rusher Koa Misi and end Jared Odrick.
The Dolphins' top rusher, Cameron Wake, mostly faced right tackle Chris Hairston.
This week, both Bills tackles face undersized speed rushers – Freeney and Robert Mathis, who has 89.5 career sacks. Those two are especially effective in the Colts' loud, domed stadium.

Melissa Walker, Sunshine Industries, Inc. of Ardmore Executive Director, said the local agency recently "aced" two state audits with perfect performance scores.
"The most recent audit was conducted by the Department of Human Services, Developmental Disabilities Services Department Quality Assurance Unit. The audit of the entire company was performed last week and Sunshine was notified, out of 206 conditions, there were no cites of deficiency," Walker said Friday.
Earlier in the month, the Oklahoma State Department of Health audited Sunshine Adult Day Services, a branch of Sunshine Industries, and found no areas of noncompliance.
With a staff of 47 people Sunshine Industries, Inc. serves more than 100 people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in six counties of Southern Oklahoma.
"The Sunshine Board of Directors can't begin to express our great pride and confidence in the staff," said T. Todd Hicks, Board President. "Their experience and care has resulted in much success for our service recipients. It's wonderful to have the State Department of Health and Department of Human Services verify what we have believed all along."

Train keeps a rollin' indeed. No matter how battered or broken Aerosmith has appeared to be over the past couple of years, the band soared through a 90-minute homecoming Tuesday at the TD Garden.
Aerosmith and openers Cheap Trick sold out the Garden, and both return Thursday for another show. Tickets are still available.
At first it seemed the acrimony that built up when singer Steven Tyler joined the cast of "American Idol" lingered. After Tyler and guitarist Joe Perry emerged together from the end of a ramp extending from the main stage for the raucous opening number "Draw the Line," the singer spent much of his time orbiting his bandmates.
Perry, fellow guitarist Brad Whitford, bassist Tom Hamilton, and drummer Joey Kramer hung back with the hired guns on keys, background vocals, and percussion.
But then Tyler did huddle with the crew when Aerosmith dove into the slinky new "Oh, Yeah." It was here you could see all of the members working together, feeling their collective way through something that 40-odd years of reflexive muscle would not know.
From there, whenever Tyler took off for his flights of fancy, it seemed simply that he trusts the guys behind him. And those guys trust him to be a fireball fully committed to the job of selling Aerosmith.
Everything balanced out just right. The show, while tightly choreographed around visual pizzazz, never stifled the raunchy charm of the music. Whitford and Perry let loose throughout the night, and Kramer got a lengthy solo break.
The set list favored the band's more rocking side, with the evening's highs clustering around '70s gems "Last Child" and "No More, No More." Latter-day Aerosmith was served up early with a run through "Living on the Edge," "Cryin','' and "Jaded," all still better choices than the power ballad "I Don't Want to Miss a Thing," a big hit omitted.
Closing with the primal grit of "Train Kept a Rollin" was as simple a retort to Tyler's tenure on "American Idol" as anyone needs.
Cheap Trick, a classic band in its own right, delivered an hourlong opening set of beautifully crafted, frenetically played power pop.Scott McLennan can be reached at

Diagnostic text and information is available for better understanding of whether applications are operating as directed.
The machine monitor application provides the user instantaneous readings about the status or condition of the machine. Values shown in the machine monitor vary by application, but typically include parameters like engine speed, coolant temperature, and ground speed. The machine monitor supports run page modules in the layout manager, allowing the user to populate specific machine parameters directly to a run page.
NOTE: The machine monitor application replaces part of the universal performance monitor in previous machines.
File manager is located on the system page in the menu. Users can export, import, or delete single files or all files with the Generation 4 CommandCenter. Files can be imported exported, or deleted with the following filter options:
Users manage all setup data in John Deere Operations Center when using a 4100 or 4600 CommandCenter. Setup files transfer between displays via USB, for customers using GS3 2630 Display and Generation 4 CommandCenter in their operations.
Users can add one or more guidance lines, clients, farms, or fields without overwriting all of the information on the display.
Users can import a single item from the John Deere Operations Center without having to recreate the entire display database.
This ensures integrity of existing data on the display and improves data transfer time.
The work monitor application displays the performance information about the task being performed by the machine. The user is shown averages, totals, and productivity of the machine, such as area worked, average working speed, and fuel usage. The values of the work monitor can be reset by the user at any time. Specific values of the work monitor can be configured by the user to be shown on a run page.
NOTE: The work monitor application replaces part of the Universal Performance Monitor in previous machines.
The 4100 Processor is base equipment and only offered on 6R, 7210R, and 7230R Tractors. It offers:
The GS3 or GS2 Display can run in dual display mode with the Generation 4 CommandCenter.
Generation 4 CommandCenter may be configured to run with the following John Deere displays connected at the cornerpost:
All precision activations purchased on GS2 or GS3 Display are defaulted to run on the cornerpost display while in dual display mode. Activations cannot be shared between GS2 or GS3 Displays and the Generation 4 CommandCenter. The second display must have its own activations to run AMS applications. RDA can be used on either GS3 2630 Display or Generation 4 CommandCenter in the same session.
Precision ag applications, such as AutoTrac™ assisted steering system, Section Control, and documentation, cannot run on both displays at the same time. When a cornerpost display is installed, precision ag applications will automatically be disabled on Gen 4 CommandCenter.
Tractor applications will always be located on the Gen 4 CommandCenter.
View on screen help to properly set up display when in dual display mode.
Tractors with a 4100 CommandCenter are equipped with one video input and 7R, 8R/8RT, 9R/9RT/9RX Tractors with a 4600 CommandCenter have four video inputs. 6R Tractors equipped with a 4600 CommandCenter have two video inputs. The operator has the ability to set a variety of triggers, including reverse, power take-off (PTO), hitch, and selective control valve (SCV) levers to activate the camera. The image will then appear on the CommandCenter display. The camera (video observation system) is available through JD Parts and Ag and Industrial (A and I) Products.
John Deere Generation 4 CommandCenter processors
A Generation 4 CommandCenter is made up of a processor and a display. Two processor options are available for the Generation 4 CommandCenter.
The 4600 Processor is the premium processor, offered as an option on all 6R*, 7210R, and 7230R Tractors and is standard on 7250R, 7270R, 7290R, 7310R, 8R/8RT, and 9R/9RT/9RX Tractors. Available features with the premium processor include:
*Only compatible with infinitely variable transmission (IVT™) and DirectDrive™ transmission
Generation 4 CommandCenter is available in the following configurations:
For growers wanting to maximize their viewing real estate, the 254-mm (10-in.) touchscreen color display is an excellent choice. With the 254-mm (10-in.) display, the title bar and all shortcut keys may be viewed at all times. Operators can monitor more information at once on the 254-mm (10-in.) touchscreen display.

Generation 4 CommandCenter Display works in dual display mode with GreenStar (GS) 3 2630 Display, GS2 1800 Display, and GS2 2600 Display. For complete feature comparison and dual display compatibility information, please see the display comparison chart and GS3 and AMS display compatibility chart.
Boundaries can be imported from the following sources:
All 8R and 8RT Series Tractors come standard with an 85-cc displacement integrated hydraulic pump. This pump provides 227.1 L/min (60 gpm) of hydraulic flow.
A dual-pump option, featuring 85-cc and 35-cc displacement hydraulic pumps, is available for all 8R wheel models. The dual-pump system provides a hydraulic flow of 321 L/min (85 gpm), ideal for running at lower engine speeds.

Operating the tractor at reduced engine rpm contributes to a quieter cab, reduced fuel usage, and maintains the vacuum while turning and raising the planter on end rows. At 1500 erpm with a 321 L/min (85 gpm) system there will be an available flow of 229 L/min (61 gpm). This is an improvement over an available 162 L/min (43-gpm) flow when operating with a 227 L/min (60 gpm) system at 1500 erpm.
The maximum flow through one selective control valve (SCV) with a standard coupler is 132 L/min (35 gpm). A 19.1-mm (3/4-in.) high-flow coupler allows for a maximum flow rate out of one SCV of 153 L/min (40.5 gpm).
The hydraulic system is a closed-center, power-on-demand system using a load-sensing pressure-flow compensated axial piston pump with full-flow charge and flow prioritization for steering and brakes.
The pump outlet pressure available on demand can range from 3000 kPa (435 psi) for track models and 4000 kPa (580 psi) for wheel models at low standby to 20,400 kPa (2958 psi) at high standby.
Hydraulic pump options:
The brakes are designed with large-diameter rear disc brakes and powerful activating pistons. The brakes run in oil for cooling and long life in the most demanding situations. Braking in the field during a turn can be accomplished with light pedal effort and excellent modulation of brake forces.
Hydraulically actuated, power wet-disc brakes:
An integrated park brake is included with all transmission options.
Front wet-disc brakes are included on 8R Series Tractors equipped with the 50-km/h (31-mph Independent-Link Suspension (ILS™) axle and 7R Series Tractors equipped with a 50-km/h (31-mph) Triple-Link Suspension (TLS™) Plus front axle. Front Brakes are optional equipment on the 8R 42-km/h (26-mph) ILS axle and 40-km/h (25-mph) TLS Plus front axles.
Foot brakes on tractors equipped with AutoPowr™/Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT™) transmissions have an integrated AutoClutch™, as described in the IVT section. Similarly, foot brakes on tractors equipped with e23™ transmissions have integrated AutoClutch™, as described in the e23 section.
For towing very large loads, the 7R and 8R Series Tractors can be equipped with a complete air-brake-system or a hydraulic brake coupler, or both. The brakes supply air or oil pressure to a brake-equipped trailer or implement.
How exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) worksEGR reduces the high temperatures where nitrogen oxide (NOx) compounds are formed in the engine cylinders by replacing excess oxygen with a prescribed amount of cooled exhaust gas. Exhaust gases contain more carbon dioxide than oxygen. The EGR valve in conjunction with the venturi and engine control unit (ECU) allows a controlled amount of exhaust gas to enter the intake manifold to mix with the incoming fresh air. Replacing excess oxygen with cooled exhaust gas leads to lower combustion temperatures, creating less NOx. In addition, EGR allows for advanced timing, leading to optimal performance of the engine, maximizing fuel economy. The following diagrams illustrate how air flows through the engine. For added performance and efficiency, the engine passes the exhaust gases through an EGR cooler before it enters the engine.
Flow of exhaust during engine operation Exhaust airflow enters into the EGR cooler from the exhaust manifold near the turbocharger. Based on engine load, air temperatures, and rpm, the engine control unit (ECU) opens or closes the EGR valve, allowing a measured percentage of exhaust gas to enter the intake manifold. The gases mix with the rest of the incoming air from the turbocharger and aftercooler before entering the cylinders.
The 7R, 8R, and 8RT Series Tractors feature two lighting package options:
The cab lighting pattern provides 330 degrees of coverage while the hood lighting provides the remaining 30 degrees for completely programmable 360-degree, stadium-style lighting. This ensures there are no dead zones or lighting adjustments needed. The lighting configurations are available to match various applications and ensure maximum around-the-clock productivity.Bulb housings are large, allowing for optimum total lumens and available light. The standard lighting packages use 65-W halogen bulbs, whereas the premium lighting package uses light-emitting diode (LED) lights. In the premium lighting package, these tractors take advantage of the high-performing and efficient LED technology.
The low- and high-beam driving/work lights are adjustable. Please refer to the electrical section in the operator's manual for complete details on adjusting lights.

Operators can quickly select a lighting mode on the steering console:
The CommandCenter display allows operators to customize light settings. Operators can select only the lights they need or want for a given application and store these settings. The operator-programmed configurations can then be turned on or off with the push of a button on the CommandARM™ controls.
NOTE: Road/loader lights are also referred to as high-mounted driving lights for use in front hitch applications that obscure the headlights. See the Attachments section.
The battery power saver feature is also standard. When the engine is off and the outside lights have been left on, this feature is designed to avoid battery run down. After the lights have been left on for 30 minutes and the key is in the off position, the lights cycle or blink on and off five times as an alert. The lights continue to illuminate for one more minute and then automatically shut off to protect the battery.
Field-installed options are also available. To find this information, use the Build Your own Configurator application for US/Canada or Build & Price in John Deere Sales Centre for Australia/NZ.

12 cab roof-mounted lights:
The premium lighting package replaces all previous halogen and HID lights with LED lights. The only lights that are not LED are the low-beam driving lights, they remain halogen. This allows each LED light to work at a lower temperature and no one light works harder than any other. The uniformity in LED coverage allows only one type of light output surrounding the tractor.
The lighting pattern in the premium package provides industry-leading performance in nighttime visibility. LED bulbs provide maximum brightness and a true color output for excellent field definition that is easy on the operator's eyes.
The LED lights provide 40 percent greater coverage width and 10 percent more light coverage in the rear. LED lighting packages use 45 percent less amps than standard halogen lights and have an increased life expectancy over HID lights which leads to lower costs of ownership over the life of the tractor.
NOTE: Lighting packages may vary depending on region.
Another feature is programmable exit lighting. Exit lighting allows the lights outside the cab to stay on for up to 300 seconds. They can be programmed in increments from 0 to 300 seconds.
Refer to the operator's manual for complete instructions on programming field, driving, and exit lighting.
The John Deere Waterloo Operations Gold Key Program was designed to recognize and honor those purchasing Waterloo-built tractors. The Gold Key tour provides an opportunity for a customer to follow his or her tractor as it is built on the assembly line. If a Gold Key customer is unable to visit the day the tractor is on the assembly line, the customer may elect an alternative date within 90 days to schedule a tour. This will be recognized as a Gold Key experience where the customer adopts a tractor to follow rather than watch his or her own tractor being built. After 90 days, the visit will be deemed a VIP tour and Gold Key memorabilia will not be provided.
A Gold Key tour entails an exclusive, behind-the-scenes guided tour of the assembly production lines. The customer, or product owner, may bring up to three additional guests on the tour. Tour participants will wear Gold Key owner identification bump caps and other personal protective equipment while being escorted privately by a tour guide. Every attempt will be made to make sure the customer will see the specific tractor ordered come off the final assembly line; however, in order to satisfy delivery needs, the first priority is to keep the manufacturing lines running at full capacity.
The Gold Key visit date is based on when the customer's tractor is expected to reach the final line. It is John Deere's goal that a customer drives his or her tractor off the final line at the end of the tour. It is imperative to notify the John Deere dealer from whom the tractor was purchased in order to initiate a Gold Key tour. The John Deere dealer will be required to register guests on the Gold Key registration website as soon as possible if a Gold Key visit is requested. The owner will be presented with a gold key, a certificate, and other memorabilia at the conclusion of the factory visit. Breakfast and lunch will also be provided the day of the tourisit.
The owner will need to notify the John Deere dealer where the Waterloo-built 6000 Series – 9000 Series Tractor was purchased. The Gold Key coordinator will be the sole contact with the dealership representative to make visit arrangements and confirmations for the visit.
Shortly after the Gold Key coordinator confirms the request, all appropriate paperwork and information will be sent to the dealer. The customer will then receive all welcome documents in the mail. The Gold Key coordinator will also make direct contact with the customer to confirm the visit.
Ahrens Farms of Owatonna, MN participated in the Gold Key Tour at John Deere Waterloo Works in 2015. They purchased a 9470RT Tractor.
While every attempt will be made, and the factory will do everything possible to allow a customer to see his or her tractor being built, production schedules change for many reasons. Should production change at the last minute, the owner may arrive only to find that either the tractor has been pushed back or pulled ahead and already built. While that is certainly not the intention, the possibility remains.

The transmission control lever is placed on the CommandARM's left side closest to the operator for convenient setting and adjustment.
ThrottleThe throttle design incorporates buttons which control FieldCruise speed, foot pedal mode (if equipped), and transmission eco settings.
Hydraulic and hitch controls utilize fingertip paddle pots for raise/lower and extend/retract functions. An optional crossgate joystick replaces fingertip paddle pots for control of SCVs and allows for programmable hydraulic functionality according to operator preference. Rear hitch position can also be controlled with the encoder wheel located on the right side of the CommandARM. The encoder wheel allows for finite positioning of the rear 3-point hitch.Three buttons near the encoder are for hitch set, lock, and return to height. Adjustment knobs for the 3-point hitch are located under the cover for the CommandARM's storage compartment and allow for adjustment of the rate of drop, hitch height limit, and depth control.
Tractor function controlsLocated just to the right of the throttle is the Auto-Trac activation button and four sequence controls for iTEC functions. Behind the iTEC sequence controls, there are buttons which control the activation and deactivation of MFWD and differential lock. Differential lock can also be activated by the foot switch on the cab floor.
Controls for radio, lights, rotary beacon (if equipped), hazard flashers, and HVAC system are located to the center-right on the CommandARM, along with PTO for both front (if equipped) and rear PTO.
Seat swivelThe design of the CommandARM allows for up to 40 degrees of right-hand seat swivel.
The Generation 4 CommandCenters feature fast adjustment of tractor functions and controls and are integrated into the CommandARM to create a seamless control center. The 4100 CommandCenter features a 178-mm (7-in.) touchscreen display and is standard equipment on 7210R and 7230R models, while the 4600 CommandCenter features a 154-mm (10-in.) touchscreen and is standard equipment on 7250R – 7310R models, as well as all 8R and 8RT models.
The following functions can be adjusted using the CommandCenter display:
With ACS, John Deere has designed one of the most robust and full-encompassing steering system in the industry. Whether in the field or on the road, ACS reduces steering effort, which can result in reduced operator fatigue and can improve operator comfort.
There are four key features of the ACS system:
Dynamic road wheel offset:
Variable ratio steering:
Elimination of steering slop and hand wheel drift:
Variable effort steering:
The ACS system is fail operational, which means steering is still functional in the event of any single-point failure. John Deere has gone to great lengths to help ensure the operator has the ability to steer the tractor if something goes wrong in the steering system. For example, if the primary controller fails, a second controller takes over. If power from the alternator fails, the battery resumes control. If the engine quits running and is unable to supply hydraulic oil to the system, an electric-driven backup pump is used to supply the oil. There is a backup for ACS components.
The ACS system consists of several key components:

The RE58827 9-pin electrical connector is required for TouchSetTM depth control to be used with implements with this feature. The harness provides a position input to the tractor selective control valve unit enabling the TouchSet system.
This feature allows the operator to adjust height and depth of remote lift cylinders by using the TouchSet controls in the cab.
Available as either a factory- or field-installed attachment, the battery disconnect switch is used to disconnect the batteries in preparation for 20-day to 90-day storage periods. The switch cuts the power to the entire tractor to aid in maintaining battery life. An indicator light allows for safe and proper disconnect. The light will flash until it is safe to disconnect. This allows the diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) tank and lines to purge. (Final Tier 4 has an indicator light and Interim Tier 4 has no indicator light)

The ISO cab implement controller area network (CAN) bus adapter is available to connect any ISO compliant implement or device to an 8R, 8RT, 9R, 9RT, 9RX (including Scraper Special) Series Tractor. These connectors are commonly used for planter frame control boxes.
Refer to the operator's manual, sections 16 (CommandCenter™) and 25 (Operator Station), for additional information on ISO implements.
NOTE: If the harness is not in use, unplug it from the ISO 11783 location or plug the 4-pin connectors together on the harness. If neither of these are done, implement CAN communication errors will occur.
The implement switch indicates to the CommandCenter™ when the implement is raised or lowered, to provide accurate data collection when using a performance monitor.
In today's agricultural environment, accuracy and precision are more important than ever. For something as basic as ground speed, operators need key information for precise control of various implements and the tractor. To support these needs, tractors can be ordered with a dual-beam radar unit as a factory- or field-installed option.
There are several key features that have changed from previous designs.
First, there are two horns for exit of the radio beam. This dual-beam design assures a powerful and accurate signal that will cut through interference that at times makes single-beam units inaccurate. (See 1 in the image above for beam locations.) Dual-beam output makes radar less susceptible to hard surface or tall/wavy grass interference.
Accuracy is aided by a heavy-gauge mounting bracket and rubber isolators that reduce chances that vibration can affect the radio signal.
Dual-beam radar has a fast update rate. When the tractor comes to a stop, accelerates, or varies speed, the indicated ground speed on the tractor display will closely match the actual ground speed. This is important for implements that use radar speed to control operation such as planters, seeders, fertilizer applicators, and sprayers.
In addition, the dual-beam radar does not require calibration to assure accuracy. Its self-calibrating ability is sure to save setup time by elimination of a special procedure that was required in the past.
The radar true ground speed sensor activates the following CommandCenterTM or performance monitor readouts:
Radar usage improves the accuracy of the following CommandCenter or performance monitor functions:
Dual-beam units are compatible with controller area network (CAN) bus and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) bus electrical systems.
To better accommodate governmental or commercial sales, a back-up alarm is available as a factory- or field-installed attachment on select models. An alarm sounds whenever the transmission is placed in reverse. The alarm provides a high level of warning that the tractor is changing direction. A backup alarm is base equipment on Scraper Special Series Tractors.
The optional cold start package is recommended for tractors frequently started at or below -6°C (21.2°F).The kit includes factory-installed activation switch and ether valve with ether canister. A 110-V, high-wattage block heater and grounded cord are also included with the factory-installed option.
The engine ether kit is recommended for tractors frequently started in cold weather. This kit injects ether into the engine allowing quick combustion in below-average temperatures.
The severe-duty water separator factory-installed option or field-installed kit is available for locations where fuel quality can at times be in question. This kit will extend service intervals and help protect the tractor fuel system from damage if the fuel contains more water than the base filtering equipment can handle on a continual basis. The 60 micron constructed of stainless-steel filter element must be backflushed whenever the bowl is half full of water. The filter can be backflushed up to five times before the filter must be removed and cleaned. Filter element must be replaced when light is no longer visible through the filter. The replacement interval will vary depending on fuel quality.
All 8R and 8RT Series Tractors offer a Category 4 drawbar, with or without heavy-duty supports. The heavy- duty support option provides a maximum vertical load-carrying capacity of up to 4990 kg (11,000 lb). A Category 3 drawbar is also available for wheel models. The Category 4 drawbars include a 50-mm (2-in.) pin, and the Category 3 drawbar includes a 38-mm (1.5-in.) pin.
All drawbar options provide an easy-to-use linkage that allows the drawbar pin to drop into the field position when hooking up to an implement. This linkage is activated when it is tapped by the implement drawbar.

The Category 4N/3 and Category 3/3N cast Quik-Couplers provide increased clearance between an implement and the tractor's tires, and allow fast and convenient attachment to implements.
A – Pressure couplerB – Motor returnC – Load senseD – Case drain
To assist hooking up large equipment where multiple connections are required, factory-installed auxiliary hydraulic couplers are available.
The sump coupler kit allows oil to return from the hydraulics motor at low pressures. This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.This coupler is required for correct attachment to current-production seeding products with case drain lines.
The hydraulic motor return couplers can be used as couplers for return oil flow, from hydraulic orbital motors and other devices, to the tractor's low-pressure return port, labeled R on the tractor.
Use of this connector specifically in the return to sump port position is for hydraulic components that require a leak-off line connection to the tractor. Components and implements that require this typically are larger orbital motors that require a drain for seal protection. The connector in the sump port is not to be used to carry return flow from a function to the tractor.
Power beyond provides live hydraulic power to equipment. This kit supplies oil pressure to implements when the engine is running.
Any implement using power beyond must have a way to control oil flow. Use an independent control valve that is pressure-and-flow compensating (supplied separately) to control the oil flow rate from this coupler set. Power-beyond functions require a load-sense signal to regulate pump pressure, therefore, a load-sense hydraulic line is used. Certain equipment may require modification.
The auxiliary hydraulic optional equipment includes the following:
A – Pressure couplerB – Load sense couplerC – Return coupler (motor return)
The field-installed electronic SCV kits are made available for tractors needing additional SCVs. These kits provide metered flow rates and timed detents with pressure and load sense compensation. The additional SCV(s) can also be integrated into the Headland Management System. The field-installed kit includes International Organization for Standardization (ISO) lever-assisted breakaway couplers and armrest control lever.
Lift assist wheels are often used with heavy 3-point-hitch-mounted implements. The hitch auxiliary raise kit provides hydraulic power for use with the lift assist wheels. Turning and transport are made easier using this feature.
The 7R and 8R Series Tractors offer dual-line hydraulic trailer brakes, dual-line air trailer brakes, or dual-line air and dual-line hydraulic trailer brakes, which allow the tractor braking system to connect to implements with high-pressure air or hydraulic brakes. Both systems automatically balance the brake pressure of both the tractor and implement to provide comfortable braking performance.Trailer brake settings are fully customizable by adjusting gain and pre-brake settings. Trailer brake gain will give customers the ability to adjust how aggressive the trailer brakes are as the tractor brake pedal is depressed. Pre-brake adjustment will allow operators to adjust when the brakes are initiated in reference to the tractor brake pedal being depressed. This along with AutoClutch™ system settings will help the operator achieve optimum braking performance of both tractor and implement. Operators will also be able to test the trailer brake park release while the tractor is still in park during connecting and pre-trip activities.
Factory options include dual-line hydraulic trailer brakes, dual-line air trailer brakes, or dual-line air and dual-line hydraulic trailer brake systems. The dual-line hydraulic trailer brake option is also available as a field-installed kit.

John Deere has taken advantage of advanced lighting technology. This lighting provides the operator with industry-leading performance in nighttime visibility. The important part of the system is the use of Xenon high-intensity discharge (HID) bulbs. These bulbs provide extreme brightness and a daylight color output for excellent definition of the field. The performance of this system allows the operator to easily view as much as 250 percent farther ahead, compared to previous tractors. A further benefit is there are no filaments in the HID bulb. Bulb life is increased by as much as 10 times vs. filament-style bulbs.
The front lighting package adds three high-intensity discharge (HID) lights to the front grille (see 1 in the image above). To further enhance all-around tractor lighting, there are two additional 65-W halogen work lights added to the left- and right-hand cab roof.
The center of the bulb has a semi-spot lens, and the outer light housings have a flood lens. In row-crop, the operator will notice there is a longer beam of light in the center for following marker furrows. The overall width of the lighting pattern for a non-row-crop operation will be obvious so tilled or seeded passes are easily identified. The inner, larger-diameter light assemblies are used for road transport and use conventional halogen 60-/55-W H4 bulbs. These larger light housings are also used in the base lighting system. With the dual-wattage H4 bulb, the operator will notice that there is a true automotive-style high/low function when operating in the road position.
The cab roof lights can be adjusted to aim to the side or rear of the tractor.
The premium HID lighting package (code 1720) adds two adjustable-position HID lights on the rear fenders.
Unlike aftermarket lights where the operating ballast is integral, these lights use a smaller housing with remote-mounted ballast. The smaller housing decreases obstruction for a clear view looking out the rear window. Using the light's wide-angle flood lens will make it much easier to monitor the widest or longest equipment available.
Nighttime visibility can be improved on tractors with two roof-mounted front floodlights or two roof-mounted side floodlights.
Option code 9779 on the 7030 Series Large-Frame Tractors includes the rotary beacon light. The light features a fully-adjustable, double-clamp design that provides a more rigid vertical support stem.
Rotary beacon lights can be installed for additional transport visibility and commercial or governmental applications. The rotating, high-intensity light rests securely within an amber-colored lens.
The rotary beacon light is installed to meet requirements in commercial or governmental applications. The rotating, high-intensity light rests securely within an amber-colored safety lens. Both the light and lens are replaceable if damaged.
The rotary beacon light features a fully adjustable, double-clamp design that provides a more rigid vertical support stem.
With loads of capacity, two removable shelves, and an innovative front door and lid design, this new tractor utility box breaks new ground for convenience, versatility, and rugged design. Grease guns, tow chains, hitch pins, and many other essential items can be stored safely and can be easily accessed, putting an end to cluttered cabs.
Built from welded, heavy-gauge sheet steel, this new box offers long-term durability not seen with other toolboxes. A heavy-duty gas strut on the lid and locking pins make opening and locking simple and easy.Specifications:
Track tensioning hose kit must be used to relax/tension the track when changing tracks.
Kit includes hose and shutoff valve.
The power strip provides six additional electrical outlets that give either permanent or ignition-key-controlled power for such items as:
The power strip is not a surge suppressor. Electrical equipment with program memory or capacity for data storage requires protection from the damage of electrical surges and spikes that could occur in systems without transient voltage protection.
An electrical power strip can be installed on tractors not equipped, providing six additional outlets for powering monitors or other electrical equipment. Three different adapters may be ordered separately through Parts.
The CommandARM bracket for Final Tier 4 (FT4) tractors offers a convenient way to mount a cell phone or tablet to the CommandARM for easy use of a mobile device. This bracket is not compatible with joystick-equipped tractors.
NOTE: Cell phone, tablet, and Ram mount hardware sold separately.

The electrically adjustable mirrors on both sides of the cab are handy to assist in getting the view needed of variable-width implements, wagons, or carts.
Field-installed kits are also available to convert a manual mirrors to electrically adjustable. See the attachment section for further information.
NOTE: Electrically telescoping mirrors are not compatible with 8RT and 9RT Tractors.
The foot-operated speed control increases productivity of the tractor/operator unit by allowing the operator better control of engine speed for loader work, maneuvering in tight spaces, and transport. This option provides the operator excellent modulation of engine speed on wheel tractors.
Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT™) equipped tractors can have an automotive-type operation with the use of foot throttle. This is especially useful in transport applications. Foot throttle and AutoClutch™ clutch action of the transmission are easily coordinated by the operator for smooth operation.
The John Deere/Bosch radios are available with or without a compact disc (CD) player.
The system also features:

The 3-in. field-installed seat belt kit is designed for use with the 8R and 8RT Series Tractor operator seats. The seat belt kit is offered to meet regulations that require a seat belt anchorage force similar to the SAE J386 (including previous versions up to 22.2 kN anchorage strength), IOS 6683, and OSHA requirements (29CFR1926.602) for earthmoving operations and non-agricultural tractor operations.
NOTE: John Deere recommends reviewing the seat belt kit performance capabilities to ensure compliance with local, state, regional, and national requirements.
A favorite worldwide, the RAM self-leveling cup holder is now available as a kit - designed specifically for Deere equipment. It is easily installed to keep your favorite beverage upright even in the roughest terrain. The perfect accessory for any cab that has 10-mm mounting bosses.
The new cup holder features a unique self-leveling design. This pivoting design allows easy adjustment for the holder while offsetting motion of the vehicle when moving.Features and applications:
The pull-down shade for the front windshield improves operator visibility on sunny days by blocking the sun's bright light and reducing glare. The pull-down sunshade allows the operator flexibility in the amount of window coverage desired through an infinitely adjustable range of movement and more positive friction detents found in a scissors-style linkage.
The sun shade is included in all CommandView™ III cabs.

The accessories bracket is available for mounting monitors, phones, radios, and other accessories in one convenient location.
The bracket connects in the existing holes inside the cab.
The optional refrigerator, available for standard or premium cab models, offers improved operator comfort and accommodation. Located to the left of the operator's seat, the refrigerator provides ample cooling capacity to keep food and beverages fresh. The large-capacity slide-out tray eases loading, unloading, and cleaning. The refrigerator is activated by turning the key to the on position or starting the tractor, and shuts off when the key is turned off.
NOTE: IPM is only available for Tier 3/Stage IIIA, Interim Tier 4/Stage IIIB, Final Tier 4/Stage IV engines, and not for Stage II engines.
This feature is for many typical farming operations that use the rear power take-off (PTO) in high-power applications or the tractor as a transport vehicle. Operators who are looking for more power in non-stationary PTO and transport applications will be interested in the IPM feature.
In high rear PTO power applications such as forage harvesters, rototillers, and beet or potato harvesting equipment or where heavy trailers, carts, or implements are moved to and from various locations, this feature provides significant additional capabilities. The solution improves productivity with more consistent ground speeds, quicker acceleration, and the ability to better hold desired transport speeds.
This two-in-one tractor solution successfully operates in power-intensive PTO and transport applications at reasonable low fuel consumption without being disadvantaged by the higher weight, the bigger proportions, and the extra costs of the next higher horsepower model.
This feature is available as a factory- or field-installed option.
Rear PTO field applications
Transport applications
This is not intended to be an inclusive list of all applications but shows the wide range of uses for additional engine horsepower.
IPM provides engine power increase in levels proportional to the size of the tractor. IPM provides a controlled power boost of up to 26 kW (35 engine hp) to tractor under the following operating conditions:
Power increase is not provided under draft applications or non-loaded rear PTO applications. Power increase is only provided when required.
There are specific operating parameters when IPM functions to boost engine power. It is the "intelligent" part of the system that provides seamless operation while adjusting the engine horsepower depending on how the tractor is being used. For engine horsepower boost activation, the tractor must already be running an application that is using the full power capability of the tractor.
PTO activation
Power must be sensed going through the PTO drive clutch by the tractor's electronic systems. The tractor must be moving at least 0.5 km/h (0.3 mph) and PTO consuming moderate power before power boost engages. The speeds shown above, assume lowest possible gear or speed setting and the engine running at 2100 rpm.
NOTE: If the tractor is equipped with a front PTO, additional IPM power will transfer through the front PTO. However, IPM activation is only sensed through the rear PTO. Adequate load must be sensed on the rear PTO in order for IPM to activate.
Transport activation
When in transport applications, power transition is smooth. The engine will respond seamlessly as load changes, such as when going up and down hills. Additional power is available at a useful working speed with minor differences between tractor models and transmissions.
The minimum ground speed is where additional power will begin to be applied, assuming the engine is already fully loaded. Ramp up to full additional power occurs as speed continues to increase. Full additional power occurs within a 3 mph (5 km/h) band.
Transport during acceleration: power boost occurs in steps through the range from 23 km/h – 28 km/h (14.3 mph – 17.4 mph).
Transport during deceleration: power boost ramps down in equal steps in the range from 23 km/h – 18 km/h (14.3 mph – 11.2 mph).
Some operators will run the tractor at full loads and/or run transmissions in auto mode in transport. This means that the engine most likely will not be operating at rated rpm. As the engine is loaded, it will eventually drop off of rated rpm and use the power bulge as rpm slows. This is the way every John Deere PowerTech™ Plus engine operates when it is loaded to maximum power and torque.
IPM (shown in purple in chart above versus standard power shown in blue) provides additional engine horsepower from rated engine speed down to approximately 1600 rpm (shown on the x-axis in image above, with power kilowatt shown in the y-axis), which is peak engine torque.
Horsepower levels are increased above base equipment power bulge values.
If the PTO is engaged and the engine rpm stays near rated speed of 2100 rpm, the full additional power potential for the tractor model will be available for use to handle additional load from the implement or changing terrain.
If the PTO is not in use and in transport operation, and the rpm has dropped off of rated speed, usable additional power boost of IPM will taper off as rpm decreases. The chart above (with 8345R Tractor power curves) shows the relationship of how much additional usable horsepower is available in the operating range. All tractors operate in a similar manner with this feature.
All tractors have the power meter display function as base equipment. The operator can observe when full capabilities of the tractor are being utilized. This function graphically displays power utilization up to rated horsepower and power bulge.
The power meter can be found in the CommandCenter™ display. If the engine is off or has minimal load, the power meter will not fill in. The meter is similar in concept to a cellular phone's signal-strength meter. As the power increases, it will fill in bars in an icon. The display will also show the level of additional power being used. The long section represents up to the rated power. The smaller section represents power bulge and is an indicator of additional power available with IPM.
Via the CommandCenter, there is also the ability to enable or disable the function. The operator's manual provides simple details about navigating the engine screen.
IPM is automatically enabled each time the tractor is started.
IPM has been thoroughly tested by John Deere engineers to be compatible with the base tractor equipment with no impact to reliability. John Deere provides IPM as opposed to unapproved aftermarket devices that boost power without regard to engine, transmission, axles, and drawbar, or hitch capability.
This feature provides optimal utilization of tractor components. For example, with PTO operation, power goes through axles to move the tractor along the ground and turn the PTO shaft and implement. Adding power to both of these systems does not overload either one individually. At transport speeds, drive train torque load decreases significantly from levels seen at low field speeds. Adding power at transport does not overload transmissions or axles.
Aftermarket devices are not selective when power increases are available. Great amounts of power increase are promised with these devices. Large power changes are not compatible with base tractor equipment. To note, base tractor equipment changes as power increases. Larger parts, like hitches, drawbars, tire size, drive train components, axle diameters, and engine calibrations for emission performance and cooling, ensure durability of the total vehicle as power increases. Operating outside of the design capabilities of the tractor base equipment will have an impact on durability and reliability.
Field-installed kit (AL71345) allows for a door handle to be installed that has a key different from the tractor ignition key.
Front idler weights can be used by operators to add additional idler weights to the front of a track tractor to offset the weight of a hitch-mounted or drawn implement that exerts heavy loads on the rear of the tractor.One pair of starter weights is required per idler to add additional wheel weights on the inside and outside of the front idler wheel.
A field-installed wide track conversion kit is available for 8RT Series Tractors to extend the track width beyond the base 72 in. to 120 in. The additional width permits track spacing from 112 in. to 160 in. in 4-in. increments.
This kit allows the tractor to operate in many specialty crops such as potatoes or sugar beets where additional width is needed. The additional row width is also a benefit in corn planted in 20-in. or 22-in. rows.
NOTE: The axle width changes to 173.3 in. (4400 mm) with the kit installed. Durabuilt™ 5500 Series tracks are highly recommended with 160-in. spacing kit.

By Chandrahas Choudhury Mar 7, 2012 10:28 PM GMT+0500
Perhaps more than 90 percent of news items that bring together India and Pakistan, the subcontinent's two great powers, report something negative: tensions along the border, bickering over the disputed state of Kashmir, concerns about terrorism, or, at its most benign, a storm of jingoistic sentiment and flag-waving on both sides on the eve of an important cricket match (as when the two countries met in the semifinal of the cricket World Cup last year).
So it came as a surprise last week when Pakistan's announcement of a "negative list" of items that couldn't be traded with India was warmly welcomed by the governments of both countries as a positive development. Margherita Stancati and Tom Wright reported in the Wall Street Journal:
Pakistan announced a goal of normalizing trade with India by the end of the year, a gesture that is part of tentative attempts to improve relations between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
In a statement Wednesday, the office of Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani said the government planned to phase out major restrictions on Indian imports by Jan. 1, 2013.
Pakistan recently scrapped a system of allowing imports of fewer than 2,000 items from India. It moved instead to a "negative list," which bans around 600 items from India but allows trade in all other goods.
Must news of an opening up of trade relations between neighbors that have gone to war on each other thrice in six decades be phrased by governments in such a contorted way? Apparently it must, or no one will take it seriously. The technicalities of this statement, and its implications for bilateral trade, were explained in The Times of India:
The Pakistani cabinet's decision to switch over to a negative list for trade with India could mark a historic step in bilateral relations. The move comes in the wake of Indian commerce minister Anand Sharma's recent visit to Pakistan that saw Islamabad promise normalisation of trade relations, eventually culminating in the granting of most-favoured nation (MFN) status to India. Although India had granted Pakistan MFN status way back in 1996, Pakistan maintained a restricted positive list of 1,900 Indian import items. [...]
Liberalised two-way trade has been a long-standing demand of the business community on both sides of the border. However, political exigencies have prevented business relations from reaching their full potential. Two-way trade currently stands at $2.7 billion but is expected to touch a high of $6 billion by 2014 after restrictions are removed.
As the article notes, trade between the two countries, with a combined population that is one-fourth of that of the world, stands currently at a pitiful $2.7 billion. As a World Bank study in 2007 on the prospects of bilateral trade as a growth driver for both countries noted, current volumes of India-Pakistan trade amount to "only 9 percent of the trade that occurs between Argentina and Brazil, two countries of comparable size and proximity." As things stand, the balance of what little trade that exists is heavily weighted in India's favor. The decision, therefore, has much more significance, both as an opportunity and a challenge, for the struggling Pakistani economy, and many Pakistani newspapers voiced fears that local industry would be jolted by a flood of cheap Indian imports.
But the larger context of the news wasn't so much economic as political. The more that two neighboring countries trade with each other, the harder it is for them to go to war. In the case of India and Pakistan, the walls against trade erected by both governments are even more tragic given the subcontinent's long history as an integrated market and as the site of one of the world's most ancient and storied trade routes: the Silk Road, encompassing present-day India, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.
People in both countries carry family histories, and, inevitably, memories of trade, rooted in a world that now lies across the border (the prime minister of India, Manmohan Singh, was born in 1932 in a part of west Punjab that now lies in Pakistan; Pervez Musharraf, the former president of Pakistan, was born in New Delhi). These memories continue to circulate, as I found out last week when I said to the fruit vendor on my street in Delhi that his pomegranates weren't very good and he replied, "You should have been around in the old days, when pomegranates used to come in from Pakistan. Oh, they tasted like honey!"
The same World Bank study noted that South Asia's intra-regional trade was the lowest in the world, lower even than local trade in sub-Saharan Africa. It explained how trade between India and Pakistan had been in a state of regress over six decades:
At the time of independence, almost three-fifths of Pakistan's total exports were directed to the Indian market, and one third of its imports came from India. The situation began to change when Pakistan refused to devalue its currency after India's devaluation in 1949 and later imposed import restrictions. Bilateral trade declined sharply during periods of conflict or heightened tensions. It increased only slowly as political relations improved. Trade between India and Pakistan almost ceased altogether from the mid-1960s to mid-1970s due to the 1965 India–Pakistan war and the 1971 East-Pakistan war, which led to the creation of Bangladesh. More recently, bilateral relations between the two countries became tense after the 1999 Kargil war, as well as after the attack on the Indian parliament building in December 2001 by allegedly Pakistan-trained Kashmiri terrorists. Overall, it took four long decades before trade volumes (measured in nominal terms) between the two countries exceeded the levels of the early 1950s.
This may now change, perhaps to the extent that there occurs -- to use the jargon of international relations -- a long-awaited paradigm shift in the relations between the two countries. The most ringing endorsement of the work done by the two governments was supplied by the political analyst C. Raja Mohan in The Indian Express:
In a great irony, one of Pakistan's weakest governments, led by President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani, has broken one of the country's biggest political taboos by throwing open its borders for trade with India. Until recently, Pakistan's leaders had a simple political guidance: no trading with the enemy until the question of Jammu and Kashmir is resolved. Islamabad is now ready for business, and its new course could alter the economic, political and security landscape of the north-western subcontinent.[...]
Despite some residual opposition, Zardari and Gilani have delivered on normalising commercial relations with India. Their boldness vindicates Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's policy of engaging Islamabad despite the lack of progress in bringing the plotters of the November 2008 terror attack on Mumbai to justice. Dr Singh's decision in the summer of 2009 to break the political linkage between the resolution of the Mumbai case and renewed dialogue with Pakistan drew much flak in India. Pakistan's civilian leaders had little to do with the Mumbai attack; nor were they in a position to confront the forces that had organised it. It would have been utterly unwise for India to turn its back on Zardari who came to power in 2008 promising to open a new chapter in relations with India. [...]
Annual bilateral trade is expected to grow rapidly from the current pitiful figure of US$ 2.7 billion. According to business chambers in the two countries, trade volumes could reach US$ 10 billion by 2015, as the current indirect trade flows through the official channels. That is just the beginning. As part of the current trade liberalisation, the two sides are close to easing the current restrictive visa regime, which was established way back in 1974. Other agreements are on the anvil for letting their banks open branches across the border, permitting mutual investments, connecting electric grids, and promoting overland petroleum trade.[...]
[But] Delhi will have to do a lot more to nurture and deepen the emerging economic engagement with Pakistan. For one, it must be politically sensitive to the current imbalance in bilateral trade which is likely to further widen in India's favour as Pakistan opens up. India's current exports to Pakistan are nearly eight times the value of imports. Just as Delhi complains about the unequal trade with Beijing, trade deficit is bound to emerge as a political issue in Pakistan in the not-too-distant future.India must consciously facilitate more imports from Pakistan. Demonstrating that trade with India can be both free and fair is a major strategic imperative for India.
As Zardari delinks the political from the economic, Dr Singh must signal that contentious security issues are not being taken off the table.
And in a piece entitled "Economics scores over mindless patriotism" in The Economic Times, Amiti Sen wrote:
Pakistan also needs to be applauded for managing to separate the Kashmir issue from trade. For decades the two have been linked and the Pakistani government had been maintaining that it could give India MFN only when the Kashmir problem was satisfactorily resolved.
Pakistani foreign minister Hina Rabbani Khar [...] pointed out that Pakistan's founder Muhammad Ali Jinnah had bequeathed to the people "normal trade relations" with India at the time of the country's creation in 1947, and that these arrangements had continued till 1965, when the two countries fought a war.
In the last 47 years since the war, a lot of water has flown under the bridge and both India and Pakistan are facing completely different economic and political realities. Since regional trade groupings have become the new trade order now, it is time for both countries to bury their differences and work together to make the South Asia free trade agreement more meaningful.
Of course, there is still plenty of wariness on both sides because of the continuous history of troubled relations between the two countries over core issues of foreign policy. The Indian Express warned that "it must be remembered that subcontinental foreign policy — especially in Pakistan, and with regard to India — is prone to sudden domestic reversals which can unravel deals already secured."
Even so, my fruit-loving self hopes to see a day not very far in the future when I can buy Pakistani pomegranates in a Delhi winter, and then voyage to Lahore or Karachi in the summer (the Pakistani government having generously liberalized the current forbidding visa regime, and my friends among Pakistani novelists -- such as the dashing HM Naqvi, who owns as many fur-lined jackets as Imelda Marcos had pairs of shoes -- having invited me over) to find in the markets there the splendid benishan mangoes of south India.

Hollywood's most celebrated fake feud reached its epic climax Thursday when Matt Damon took over "Jimmy Kimmel Live" for the night. It was an hour of sweet, highly entertaining revenge for the Oscar-winning star, who's been "bumped" from Kimmel's show hundreds of times over the years.
With his nemesis bound and gagged in a chair to the rear of the stage, Damon had free rein over the entire broadcast, which he kindly renamed "Jimmy Kimmel Sucks." It all began with a monologue in which Damon ruthlessly taunted Kimmel (sample dialogue: "I am Luke Skywalker and Kimmel is the Death Star -- big and round and easily destroyed through his garbage hole") and proved himself an adept stand-up performer. (Seriously, Matt, if the movie star thing doesn't work out, you may want to give hosting a shot.)
From there, Damon upgraded Kimmel's supporting players, tossing aside bandleader Cleto and sidekick Guillermo in favor of Sheryl Crow and Andy Garcia. He also revealed the true origins of their bitter rivalry: It turns out that Kimmel, a failed actor, really just resents Damon for beating him out for parts in "Good Will Hunting," "The Bourne Ultimatum" and "The Adjustment Bureau." Damon even had the audition tapes to prove it.

The Shawmut Street Extension isn't much to look at, only a short block in Bay Village bounded on one side by the colorless skin of a concrete parking garage, and on the other by a small, empty lot covered in cracked asphalt.
But 71 years ago on Thursday, the most devastating building fire in New England history occurred here when the Cocoanut Grove nightclub, overcrowded and underprepared, erupted in a suffocating, lightning-fast blaze that killed 492 people.
It's a tragedy that has been embedded in Boston lore, but one whose exact site remains unknown to nearly all but neighbors and zealous history buffs. That disconnect is about to change, if slightly, when the tiny Shawmut Street Extension is renamed Saturday as Cocoanut Grove Lane.
"Everybody can tell you about it, but nobody can tell you where it was," said Dr. Ken Marshall, a plastic surgeon whose mother was a Boston City Hospital nurse who tended to victims over four nonstop days. "My mother never recovered emotionally."
Mayor Thomas M. Menino is expected to unveil the new street sign at the corner of the extension and Piedmont Street in tiny Bay Village, joined at the 10:30 a.m. ceremony by scores of people with emotional connections to the tragedy — survivors, descendants of the dead, neighbors who have long been aware of this horrific piece of history in their midst.
"It will be closure for me," said Ann Marie Gallagher, an 87-year-old survivor from Keene, N.H., who plans to attend the ceremony in her first return to the site since the frigid night of the fire. "Whenever this time of year comes, I still have things that hit me. It's something that never leaves you."
Gallagher lost her mother and father in the flames, as well as her boyfriend and his parents. They had traveled to Fenway Park from Keene that day for the Boston College-Holy Cross football game, in which Holy Cross stunned undefeated BC, 55-12.
While their parents ate dinner, Gallagher and her high school boyfriend, Fred Sharpy, headed downstairs to dance. Soon, the young couple caught sight of the flames, followed by screaming and pandemonium as an estimated 1,000 patrons ran toward doors that had been locked or were designed to open inward, which became impossible against the crush of people trying to flee.
The fire's origin remains in question, but a discarded match is believed to have begun the inferno among the many flammable decorations and palm fronds that gave the Cocoanut Grove its tropical theme and helped make the nightclub among the most popular in Boston.
"We saw where the fire was, first off, and Fred said to me, 'Ann, get on your hands and knees and cover your face,' " Gallagher recalled. "That's the last thing I remember."
When she woke up, Gallagher was in Massachusetts General Hospital, where the 16-year-old stayed for more than three weeks recovering from respiratory damage caused by toxic chemicals and smoke.
To this day, she has no idea how she escaped.
Ed Murphy, 94, is scheduled to make his first visit to the site. The Holy Cross football captain was heading to the nightclub from the Parker House, where he was staying, when Boston Mayor Maurice Tobin invited him, a teammate, and their dates to a private party upstairs at the hotel.
"We stayed for a while and tried to leave, but they had a big guy at the door who wouldn't let us out," said Murphy, who lives in Tewksbury. "Finally, I complained to the mayor, and he said, 'You don't need to get out of here. We've got a band, we've got dancing, we've got great food, anything you want.'
'Whenever this time of year comes, I still have things that hit me. It's something that never leaves you.'
"He kept us in there the whole night."
John Rizzo, a 93-year-old from Lynn, plans to travel to Bay Village, too. As a 22-year-old waiter, Rizzo considered himself fortunate in 1942 to have a job at the club, which needed replacements for the staff who had left to serve in World War II.
As flames raced around the Cocoanut Grove, Rizzo fled toward an exit but was forced to a downstairs service bar, where he broke a narrow window and frantically pushed patrons headfirst through the opening and into the night. After helping about 20 people to safety, Rizzo followed suit.
Outside, he looked back and saw a chorus girl in a fur coat sitting by an upstairs window as the fire ravaged the club.
"I yelled, 'Listen, you've got to get out of there. You've got to jump,' " Rizzo recalled. "As soon as I said that, she jumped right on me."
Marshall, the plastic surgeon, said the idea to rename the street came over a "good cigar and a cup of coffee" with Mike Hanlon, who worked for Kevin H. White, the former mayor, and is keenly aware of the minutiae of the fire and its aftermath.
"We're the last generation to have a direct connection with this," Marshall said. "If we didn't do anything, nothing would happen."
The pair also have been helped by Paul Miller, a real estate developer who lives near the site.
"We have a collective history in Boston, regardless of whether you've been here six months or 300 years," Miller said. For that reason, he added, marking a site as important as Cocoanut Grove is appropriate for a city that has always kept its past close.
The renaming, which rarely occurs in Boston, encountered no opposition from the few abutting property owners, Marshall said. On Saturday, the new street sign will join an existing historical marker and a plaque in the red-brick sidewalk.
That plaque, dedicated in 1993 and crafted by a former busboy who survived, describes the site as "Phoenix out of the ashes" — a reference to the many improvements in fire regulations, both locally and nationally, that followed the blaze.
Christopher O'Neil of Dartmouth and his extended family also are trying to create something positive from the long-ago fire. O'Neil lost two of his grandparents to the blaze, which meant that their three children, including his father, were split up and raised in two new households.
The O'Neil family has launched a foundation to raise money for the families of pediatric burn patients to offset travel expenses incurred during weeks and months of treatment. The foundation has given the Shriners an initial gift of $10,000.
"We're trying to alleviate the second tragedy, which, in our minds and in our situation, occurs with the separation of families," O'Neil said.
On Saturday, about 30 members of the family are planning to travel to Boston in a rented bus for what is expected to be an emotional ceremony.
"For us," O'Neil said, "this is an incredible honor."Brian MacQuarrie can be reached at email@example.com.

There are sites on the internet which accuse Fr. Seraphim Rose's monastery of being a new age cult:http://www.pokrov.org/controversial/hoom.htmlWhat the heck is the deal?
Also, I have read some of your other posts about Fr. Seraphim Rose, what other Orthodox writers have you read? Your scope seems to be somewhat narrow in focus, ie you are basing everything you believe on what Fr. Seraphim Rose wrote.
Me? My scope? While I'm not necessarily a Fr. Serpahim apologist and realize that his views are just his Theologuemena for the most part, I think that he's probably correct on the majority - even if he errs on the side of being "too conservative"..
I was referring to Matthew777 not you.
Platina/St. Herman Monastery is under the Omophorion of His Grace Bishop Longin of the Serbian Orthodox Archdioces of America.
I thought it was under the Russian Orthodox Church Abroad. May peace be upon thee and with thy spirit.
St. Herman's monastery still publishes Fr. Seraphim Rose' books.
This is by far the wierdest Orthodox-related stuff I have ever seen.
Fr. Herman (Fr. S's body from a ways back) became the defacto ruler from his ivory tower in Platina. At the present, Fr. Herman from what I hear, resides at Wildwood (the women's monastery further up the road from Platina) but does not perform any priestly duties.
Wow. I'm reading "Father Seraphim Rose: His Life and Works" right now, but I don't see Fr. Herman doing anything un-Orthodox. Do you have any more info about this?
Gleb used to have me on a mailing list for the publication and by then they were supporting Old Calendar Greeks in the US. Sorry to hear he went so far astray.
I've read that book, aweseome stuff. Perhaps my favorite book, and i'm never going to forget it, infact i reccomend it to everyone! I myself don't recall anything un-Orthodox occuring in the book either.
I used to think that Fr. Seraphim and the ROCOR had followed after the Donatist heresy by refusing to recognize sacramental grace in the non-Orthodox churches. I changed my mind after reading this book (together with some other 'Traditionalist' writings on Orthodox ecclesiology).See, for being the 'Fr. Schmemann fan' many on this forum know me to be, I respect Fr. Seraphim Rose just about as much. I hope to eventually see both glorified as saints.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Feb. 14, 2013) – Sophomore forward John Walton (Memphis) scored a career high 23 points and the ETSU men's basketball team led wire-to-wire in a 79-70 win over Kennesaw State Thursday night at the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
With the win, the Buccaneers – who led by as many as 17 points in the first half – improved to 9-18 overall, 7-7 in Atlantic Sun Conference play, while the Owls dropped to 3-22, 2-11.
Along with Walton's game-high 23, the Bucs also got 22 points from senior guard Jarvis Jones (Memphis), while sophomore guard Rashawn Rembert (Tampa) matched his career high with 18 points. The Bucs shot an impressive 53 percent from the floor and 48 percent from 3-point range in the victory.
"We didn't think it would be easy, but obviously in the first half we played very well defensively and that's the first Division I win for us at home that we led from start to finish," said ETSU head coach Murry Bartow, whose team won its second-straight game for the first time this season. "John Walton played by far the best game of his career and I couldn't be more proud of him. He was the star in our comeback at Stetson, and tonight he was our MVP.
"Jarvis and Rashawn continued to play well tonight and made several big shots for us as well."
Walton was certainly the story of the game, but his play was particularly notable in the first half, as he eclipsed his previous career high in the opening 20 minutes by scoring 17 points on a perfect 6-of-6 from the field and 5-of-5 at the foul line. His efforts helped propel the Bucs on a 14-0 run early in the game and staked ETSU to a 17-point lead at 26-9.
However, the Owls battled back to make it a 10-point game by halftime thanks to an 8-0 run of their own at the end of the half. Before the intermission, ETSU shot an impressive 63 percent from the floor and 50 percent from 3-point range, while forcing Kennesaw State into eight turnovers.
After the break, the Owls got to within single digits on multiple occasions and actually made it a four-point contest at 51-47 with just over 12 minutes left in the game. The Bucs responded at that point with a 13-4 offensive run of their own to make it 64-51 with 8:08 remaining, and KSU never mounted a serious challenge from there.
The Bucs dished out 16 assists on the evening and also shot 81 percent from the free throw line. Meanwhile, KSU finished at 42 percent shooting from the field.
For the Owls, Delbert Love scored a team-high 22, while three other KSU players reached double figures.
The Bucs will return to action at home on Saturday afternoon, taking on league rival Mercer at 4 p.m. inside the Dome. For more on ETSU men's basketball throughout the 2012-13 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the men's hoops link.
