The problem with UN Agenda 21 is not that it came from the United Nations but that our government leaders have embraced the plan and have worked diligently to naturalize the policy into US law and national, state and local policies. The principles of government promoted by the UN and it's Agenda 21 are antithetical to our form of government that has traditionally put great emphasis on private property rights. This emphasis on individual liberty and property rights is largely responsible for the historic success of United States as a nation.
The implementation of the tenets of Agenda 21 is nothing short of subversion. This has nothing to do with environmental stewardship. It is about control!
There are battles being waged all over the United States as citizens and legislators struggle to protect fundamental property rights against multitudes of non-government organizations and agencies carry out the goals of Agenda 21.
Below is information on two efforts taking place in Oklahoma to defend against the implementation of contrary UN goals, a little history on how the UN policy came to America, one example of how damaging it is to industry and innovation in America and a new agreement (signed Feb 11, 2012) between the EPA and the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
Two efforts to push back taking place in Oklahoma right now. Your support is crucial.
On the county level;
Cleveland County Commissioner Offers Resolution Opposing Agenda 21
On a state level; HJR 1072, Support for the American Sovereignty Restoration Act by Rep. Charles Key. This measure reiterates the intent of the American Sovereignty Restoration Act which would end membership of the US to the United Nations.
HJR 1072 urges Congress and the President of the United States pass legislation and take steps to end membership of the United States in the United Nations. Read HJR 1072
This measure was referred to the House Rules Committee on Feb. 7, 2012 but it needs to be scheduled for a hearing in the Rules Committee.
Let the Rules Committee leaders know that it is very important that HJR 1072 gets scheduled and heard!

Some background;
Land Use Control
Since the mid 1970s, both the United Nations and the United States have been moving toward ever-tightening "public" control of land use.
By: Henry Lamb – Sovereignty.net
Ownership of land is the foundation of freedom in America. The hope of owning even a small plot of ground compelled our forefathers to brave incalculable risks crossing the ocean and challenging the wilderness. Land ownership was so cherished by our nation's founders that they guaranteed that government could not take private property without just compensation paid to the land owner. This founding principle has eroded dramatically over time, especially since 1976.
The United Nations Conference on Human Settlements (HABITAT I) met in Vancouver, British Columbia in 1976. Agenda Item 10 of the conference report was entitled simply "Land."
Here is an excerpt from the Preamble to that item:
"Land…cannot be treated as an ordinary asset, controlled by individuals and subject to the pressures and inefficiencies of the market. Private land ownership is also a principal instrument of accumulation and concentration of wealth and therefore contributes to social injustice; if unchecked, it may become a major obstacle in the planning and implementation of development schemes. Public control of land use is therefore indispensable…."
This policy document was agreed to by the United States. Among the U.S. delegates were William K. Reilly, former EPA Administrator, and Carla Hill, former Trade Negotiator in the Bush Administration.
Here is one example of how the principles of UN Agenda 21 looks on the ground as it is being carried out in the USA.
Signed on Feb 11, 2012-New Agreement between EPA and United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
Administrator Jackson signed the first Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between EPA and United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) during the 26th Session of the UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum, held in Nairobi, Kenya in February 2011. The MOU identifies areas for strategic cooperation, including strengthening environmental governance and regulatory capacity in developing countries; creating healthy urban communities; facilitating the transition to a green economy; responding to global challenges such as climate change; and providing scientific leadership.
WHEREAS the United Nations Environment Programme (hereinafter referred to as UNEP) is the leading organization within the United Nations system in the field of environment;
WHEREAS the mission of the Environmental Protection Agency of the United States of America (hereinafter referred to as EPA) is to protect human health and the environment within the United States and EPA may, consistent with applicable law, cooperate with other nations and organizations to protect the environment globally;

Stung Treng
Stung Treng (also Stoeng Treng) is a small town in northeastern Cambodia, and can easily be described with the word "outpost" more than anything else. Many tourists heading to/from Laos pass through here, though few stay long as Ratanakiri and Kratie offer far more excitement, activities, and remedies.
Get in
By plane
Yes, Stung Treng does have what could be considered an airport, and Royal Phnom Penh Airways flies here for $50 one way, $95 round trip, for a journey taking about an hour. Though this is a fast way to get to Cambodia's remote northeastern provinces, it's a much better idea to head up here either overland or by boat, because there's so much to see in between here and Phnom Penh. Either option is also far cheaper than flying out here as well, so you should generally avoid the airport here unless you are pressed for time and want to get out to one of Cambodia's most remote regions.
By boat
Fast boats are probably the best way to get to Stung Treng based on the absolutely ridiculous state of the highways in this part of the country, but to and from Kratie they only run from July through to December. The cost of the trip is $8.
By road
National Highway 7 from the Laos-Cambodian border to Kratie via Stung Treng is being upgraded during the last year and the process is still going on. So it`s not a problem any more to do the trip by bus/ minbus in either direction. Every guesthouse will sell you a ticket. Keep in mind that it can be quiet difficult to get public transport directly at the border, so it`s wortg considering buying a ticket to your "final" destination. The minibus to the border takes about 1,5h, while it`s a 4-5h drive to Kratie (much more in the rainy season)
Trucking from Kratie is also an option, and will set you back 20-25,000 riel for riding in the back of the truck, and 25-30,000 riel if you wish to ride in the cabin. As discussed on the Kratie page, trucking is somewhat less safe than other modes of transport, and can take much longer. However, trucking in Cambodia puts you in much greater direct contact with the locals (as it's locals you'll be sharing a truck with most of the time), and isn't that one of the purposes of travelling?
Get around
Since the town is so small, there's no point in using anything other than your own two feet to get you anywhere within the town itself. If you decide to see any of the area's limited sights, simply hire one of the few motodops around for no more than a couple of thousand riel.
Most tourists who end up here do so only for a couple of hours before being rushed on south to Kratie or north to the Laos border. But, like anywhere in Cambodia, you could easily spend a day here relaxing by the river (don't plan on a week here, of course). There are a couple of sights to see here, but not enough to seriously keep yourself occupied.
Since the town is so small and out of the way, there isn't a whole lot to do in Stung Treng. As mentioned above, one day is enough here.
There are no banks in Stung Treng, and no place to get Travellers Cheque's cashed or changed, so make sure you've enough cash to get yourself to Kampong Cham or somewhere else where you can get more. Your guesthouse will be able to change money from USD to riel for you if you should so need.
Get out
From here you can head up on to the Laos border, but there are no regularly scheduled modes of transport there, so you're going to have to hire one yourself. The best option, again given the state of the roads in Cambodia, is to hire a fast boat up to the border crossing of Vueng Kham, which should cost about $20. These can fit usually five or so people, so if you're in a group it wouldn't burn nearly as great a hole in your pocket.
For transport to elsewhere in Cambodia, because Stung Treng is so relatively isolated, your options are limited and are going to be more expensive than in Phnom Penh or Siem Reap.

At the November 2 meeting of the San Juan County Commission, Commissioners discussed methods of controlling expenditures. Each month, Commissioners receive a report which includes the total fund balance in the various county accounts.
When Commissioner Bruce Adams asked why the county is spending more than it brings in, IT Manager John Fellmeth said that one challenge is that actual revenues may not match budget projections.
Fellmeth said that "a lot of little things" are adding up to larger problems. In addition, he said that large expenditures are occasionally authorized before grant funds are received or before a contract is finalized. While it is generally just a matter of time before the funds arrive, it can create a cash flow issue in the short run.
As a matter of business, Commissioners say they generally ask if proposed expenditures are within the department budget. However, Fellmeth said budgets may overstate revenue projections.
Commissioners discussed holding requests for expenditures for an additional week in order to verify if funds are available and if budget projections were accurate.
In addition, the county has invested nearly $1.8 million in a project to explore the expansion of the San Juan County jail. Funding for the project has yet to secured.
Clerk Norman Johnson said that the issues will be carefully tracked as budgets are set for the coming year. Johnson reports that preliminary budget requests are "flat" in most county departments.
In recent weeks, the City of Monticello announced that sales tax collections for the year are significantly below projections. If trends continue, the City may face actual revenues that are $100,000 below budget projections.
Cash flow issues are generally more critical for Monticello than for the county because of low fund balances in city accounts. That has not been the case for San Juan County, which has carried fund balances up to $44 million in recent years. The funds were carried over from previous years, when the county had higher revenues and larger tax base.
While the San Juan County fund balance varies from month to month, and will increase this month when property tax payments arrive, the long-term trend has been a steady decline. In the past decade, the fund balance has fallen from $44 million in the early part of the decade to $33 million in recent months.
More than a decade ago, when the State of Utah was earning significant interest revenue on cash reserves, the interest from the fund balance was generating nearly as much revenue as from property taxes. In recent years, the interest earned on cash reserves has been very low.
Commissioners state that they have used portions of the fund balance to purchase assets that better serve the county than simply cash reserves.
Commissioner Lynn Stevens said that the county purchased crushed gravel and stockpiled steel culverts with the Road fund balance several years ago.
He said that the price of steel increased dramatically since that time and the gravel crushing equipment has been a good investment. Stevens said that this represents a better use of the funds than the one percent interest they would have earned by holding the money.

Some NH delegation members hopeful about agreement
Some NH delegation members hopeful about agreement
Most members of New Hampshire's congressional delegation say they encouraged by the development that diplomatic efforts by the U.S. and Russia have resulted in an agreement to find and destroy Syria's chemical weapons.
Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen and Rep. Carol Shea-Porter say Russia and Syria must now take immediate and concrete steps to abide by the terms of this agreement.
Democratic Rep. Annie Kuster says proposed unilateral military strikes by the United States would not be in the best interests of Americans, Syrians, or the country's allies in the region.
Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte said this week that she couldn't support military intervention in Syria at this time because the Obama administration doesn't have a solid strategy.

If you're looking for a great last-minute gift I've got something to show you. Imagekind is a photo service--no wait, it's an online art gallery--okay it's a website where you can buy art and make your own photos into framed art.
The concept is easy, at Imagekind you can browse through online art from emerging artists, using their work to make framed pieces for your wall or you can upload your own photos and do the same thing with your own little works of creative genius.
Though there are other sites where you can upload and store your own pictures, Imagekind is different in that once you upload your photos you can select mats and frames for your photos then Imagekind assembles your choices and ships the completed project to your door (or to grandma and grandpa for a gift that they'll love--grandparents can be so hard to shop for).
What is especially nice about the whole arrangement is that if you want to put together a collage of framed pictures--such as the one you see in the upper right--it can be difficult to get the mats and frames that fit your photos. But at Imagekind the need to haul all the kids in the car to go down to the custom framers and stand in line while you wait to select mats and materials is gone. Everything's online and at your fingertips--couldn't be easier.
So for today's Saturday giveaway I have, courtesy of our friends at Imagekind, a chance for one of you to give this slick new service a try and see how you like it. They're offering a collage made with photos of your choice like the one you see above (only with your own photos of course) which is a $40-60 value. Can I say that is terribly reasonable considering what a custom framing job will run these days? Lovely!
Here's how to win:
Before 12 am Monday go to the giveaway entry form on this page and enter your name and email. I will pick one of the names at random, contact the winner via their email and publish the winner's first name and home town in next Tuesday's post. See the bottom of the entry form for more details.
This giveaway is open to all readers--good luck!

Sometimes, I read a paper, and I'm just suddenly struck by the sheer interconnectedness of the brain. This is one of those papers. Not because of the paper itself, but because when you see the association between one change in the brain (ADHD) and another (circadian rhythm), you can start to intuit other changes that might result from the two systems. Soon, you're just overwhelmed by the idea that it's all a vast web, a pull in one direction changes something in another, different systems adapting to tiny changes elsewhere to maintain homeostasis. The brain is a marvelous thing.
And today's paper concerns an association between two brain "systems" that you might think very different: attention, and circadian clock.
Baird et al "Adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is associated with alterations in circadian rhythms at the behavioural, endocrine and molecular levels" Molecular Psychiatry, 2012.
ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is usually thought of as a disorder of attention, associated with behavioral and social difficulties. Scientists are very interested in associations between ADHD and increased likelihood of drug abuse, and of course they are interested in addressing how to relieve the social difficulties that people with ADHD often face. But there are other features of ADHD which tend to be less studied. In particular, people with ADHD often complain of...problems sleeping. Up to 83% of adults with ADHD report sleep problems, and children with ADHD also show differences in sleep patterns.
What kind of sleep difficulties? Pretty much all kinds, trouble falling asleep, increased nighttime movement, decreased REM sleep, you name it. And all of these things are connected with the circadian clock, which generates your biological rhythms. Everything from being hungry to pooping is modulated by the biological rhythm produced by your body. The center for this rhythm is thought to be in the hypothalamus, in a little area called the suprachiasmatic nucleus.
Our biological clock runs on a roughly 24 hour schedule, mediated by the presence of light during the day, and with other oscillations that are somewhat independent. As the day goes on, the biological clock controls the transcription of genes and the making of proteins in a specific, 24 hour pattern. Messing with this pattern messes with the rhythm and with your ability to do things like sleep at night and remain alert during the day.
So is there a connection between ADHD and sleep? To look at this, the authors of this study recruited people with ADHD (13 of them), and controls (19 of them, low numbers, but human studies often suffer from this, especially as they had to exclude a lot of other factors, like working night shifts and comorbid psychiatric disorders). They had them wear actigraphs to look at when they were active and awake, and took samples of their saliva and mouth mucosa, to look at the expression of clock related genes and hormones associated with circadian rhythm, in this case cortisol and melatonin.
They found that ADHD patients were overall more active than controls (well it IS hyperactivity disorder after all), but they also showed differences in rhythm. ADHD people tended to be much more active at night (they call this a shift toward "eveningness"), and they also had much more trouble falling asleep, on average taking an hour after going to bed to get some z's, while no controls complained of this.
But when they looked at the clock genes BMAL1 and PER2, they saw something particularly interesting:
What you can see here are the rhythms for controls (the two left graphs), and ADHD (the two right graphs). You can see for BMAL1 (top), and PER2 (bottom), the controls show a nice rhythm, with a peak in the middle of the day and lower at night. In contrast, the ADHD patients showed no discernable rhythm. Not a shift in rhythm, but no rhythm at all.
The hormone studies showed something else interesting:
The controls are still on the left, the ADHD patients are on the right. On the top is melatonin, a hormone which helps control circadian rhythm, and on the bottom is cortisol, which varies with circadian rhythm.
You can see that the melatonin had a very large and obvious rhythm in the controls, but that this was dampened in the ADHD group, they just didn't have as strong a rhythm. With cortisol, while both the controls and the ADHD patients showed a rhythm, in the ADHD patients it was shifted, to 3 hours after the time when they usually woke up. No wonder they complained of feeling sluggish in the morning.
And here we come to another aspect of the inter-relatedness of it all. One of the hormones they looked at was cortisol, which varies on a diurnal schedule. The rhythm was different in people with ADHD. But cortisol is not just a circadian hormone, it's a chemical signal strongly associated with stress response. Is there a link to altered stress response here as well? And stress response alterations are often associated with changes in depressive behaviors and addictive behaviors. How deep does the rabbit hole go? And where do we begin to correct it all?
Clearly, this study does not provide proof that ADHD and insomnia always go together. But it does show an association between ADHD and a disregulated circadian rhythm. Of course, here we have a chicken and egg problem, does the ADHD cause the circadian issues? Do the circadian issues result in ADHD? It's a new angle for ADHD research, and one that might be interesting in the long run. If one thing changes, something else changes too, and it may take a deep understanding of how many different systems work together to figure what puts a brain in balance.
Baird AL, Coogan AN, Siddiqui A, Donev RM, & Thome J (2012). Adult attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder is associated with alterations in circadian rhythms at the behavioural, endocrine and molecular levels. Molecular psychiatry, 17 (10), 988-95 PMID: 22105622

Dr Dick, my question is — I'm lactose intolerant. But I find that when I swallow semen it has the same effect on me as drinking a glass of milk. In other words, it runs right through me. Is there something I can do about that? And also, what is the cause of it? What is the nature of semen that has the same reaction as a glass of milk? Thank you very much and I really enjoy your podcasts.
Thank you for your kind words about the podcasts, John. And thank you for your very interesting question.
So let me get this straight; you claim that because you are lactose intolerant suckin' up man seed effects you in the same way drinking a glass of milk does. How did you say it? Oh yeah, "it runs right through me." I'm gonna guess you mean you get the squirts from the spooge you consume, is that right?
So I gotta ask, how much spunk are you ingesting on any one occasion? Are you making a meal of it? Or are your bowels just real sensitive? Either way, I'd say ya gotta cut back on the jizz. Holy Cow!
Listen, I'm not a dietitian; but I do know that lactose is a complex sugar made up of two other more primary sugars — glucose and galactose. In order for lactose to be absorbed into the body, it must first be broken down into these two more basic sugars. The enzyme that breaks down lactose is called lactase. If you are deficient in this enzyme you will be lactose intolerant.
That being said, lets look at the composition of spunk. Semen contains citric acid, free amino acids, fructose (BINGO), enzymes, prostaglandin, potassium, and zinc.
Like I said, I'm only speculating here, but maybe your delicate system is responding to the sugars in baby batter. I've never heard that before, but then again, how many folks are paying as close attention to the connection between spooge consumption and having the runs and the wind?
Lots of people who are lactose intolerant compensate by taking a Lactase Enzyme Supplements. You might try the same strategy. And do keep me posted. I'd love to hear some follow up.
Good luck

Note: This was the first installment of The Kragthorpe Diaries, originally "printed" September 26, 2007 — long before anyone started reading this site. Since then, Kragthorpe has lost to Syracuse (twice), Kentucky (twice), and had Rutgers put up 63 measly points. Needless to say, The Krag's life has gotten worse.
Oh. Shit.
I am so completely fucked. Utterly, totally, didn't have the courtesy of a reach-around fucked.
It all looked so rosy. Top 10 program. Orange Bowl champion. How could I screw this up? I couldn't. No way. I single-handedly turned Tulsa around. Tulsa for fuck's sake. You think anyone wants to go to Tulsa? Shit no. But there I was, winning games and making Steve Kragthorpe a household name.
Everybody wanted a piece of The Krag. Programs wanted me. Schools across the country were throwing money at me. Taking me to expensive restaurants. Showering me with gifts. Setting me up with hot ass ladies. Sure I'm married, but not when I'm on the road. On the road, The Krag has to get him some split-tail, you know what I'm saying? As long as that shit stays on the DL, The Krag is all good.
Man, was I having a good time. Especially in Louisville. Remember this story? You should've seen the red-carpet they rolled out for me. A box at Churchill. Dinner at the Penndennis Club. That shit was off the hook. I didn't see a minority the entire day. That's how it was in Montana and that's just how The Krag likes it.
That was 9 months ago. Today? It's like someone took a dump on my chest. What the fuck? I won a Liberty Bowl, I don't deserve this shit.
How the hell did we lose to Kentucky? Good lord, Kentucky. Who's even their head coach? Is it Saul Smith? I don't have a clue.
I have no idea how it went wrong, either. What'd you say? We need to play defense? Fuck that. Have you seen our offense? It's sick. It's like the 2000 Rams in Madden. I used to play in my office on my old Dreamcast. I owned that game. Brian Brohm is Kurt Warner, Anthony Allen is Marshall Faulk, Mario Urrutia is Torry Holt, Harry Douglas is Isaac Bruce, and some other white dude on our team is Ricky Proehl. Man, wasn't Ricky Proehl sick?
I just don't get it. With this offense, who would've thought we needed to play defense. Not me. And I'm the best coach in America. If I didn't see it coming, no one could. Not even Knute fucking Rockne himself. And he was half the coach I am. Plus he's dead, so he doesn't know shit.
And don't even get me started on Syracuse. Luckily I swallowed some Oxycontin at halftime so that game was a fucking blur.
All this shit is giving The Krag a headache. All I wanted to do was win a national championship. It shouldn't be this hard. It wasn't this hard when I was taking Tulsa to the Humanitarian Bowl. I mean, pulling decent ass in Boise was hard, but the football part was still easy.
This fucking blows. What the hell am I going to do? Ah, fuck it, I'm going down to the Magic Dragon for a rub and tug. Gotta get my mind off this shit.

This is the first module in the Solar Dynamic Observatory (SDO) Project Suite curriculum. Activities are self-directed by students or student teams using online videos and data from the SDO satellite to explore, research and build knowledge about... (View More) features of the Sun. Students build vocabulary, apply or demonstrate learning through real world connections, and creating resources to use in their investigations. Each activity comes with both a teacher and student guide with sequential instructions and embedded links to the needed videos and internet resources. Activity 1A: Structure of the Earth's Star takes students through the features and function of the Sun's structures using online videos, completing a "Sun Primer" data sheet using information from the videos, and creating a 3D origami model of the Sun. Students use a KWL chart to track what they have learned. Activity 1B: Observing the Sun has students capture real solar images from SDO data to find and record sunspots and track their movement across the surface of the Sun. Activity 1C has students create a pin-hole camera to use in calculating the actual diameter of the Sun, and then calculate scales to create a Earth-Sun scale model. Students reflect on their learning and results at the end of the module. An internet connection and access to computers are needed to complete this module. See related and supplementary resources for link to full curriculum. The appendix includes an alignment to the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). (View Less)

This activity focuses on how the search for life on Mars is portrayed in fiction and videos. Learners will consider depictions of Mars from science fiction books and video clips. As a group, children discuss what they know about Mars and compare... (View More) their ideas with the way Mars and imaginary martians are presented in the science fiction works. They then use what they've learned to create their own Mars Science Fiction "Movie Trailer" Zines. It is recommended that this activity is preceded by two or three of the previous activities in the series so that the children will already have an understanding of what life needs and how Mars compares to Earth. This activity may be extended to serve as a tween and/or teen science fiction book club. It also includes specific tips for effectively engaging girls in STEM.

THE number of runners signed up to the OX5 Run passed the 1,000 mark yesterday.
It is the highest number of runners the Oxford Children's Hospital has seen with three weeks to go until the charity five-mile event in the grounds of Blenheim Palace.
The run, on March 30, is the hospital's biggest annual fundraiser for the Headington hospital.
Last year 959 runners crossed the finish line but so far 1,008 people have registered for this year's run.
It means 2014 is on track to be a record-breaking year.
Josh Kirby, from Bucknell, near Bicester, helped celebrate crossing the 1,000 mark while he was being treated at the hospital on Thursday.
The 10-year-old was born with cystic fibrosis and has to visit hospital every few months to fit a line into his arm for intravenous antibiotics.
He said: "The hospital is good. It has nice people – like the doctors and nurses. They make it fun."
His dad James Kirby said the hospital is a bit like a second home to the family now.
He added: "When we first realised he had cystic fibrosis it was a bit of a shock.
"It was unexpected but the hospital and staff have always been there for us.
"It's not scary for him. It's not daunting to him if we say he has to come in to hospital and he enjoys the school there."
The OX5 Run last year raised £98,000 for new hospital equipment and facilities.
Play specialist at the hospital Sam Mortlock said: "It is so important because it buys the things which makes it so much better for the children when they are there.
"All the toys and things distract them from whatever is going on and makes it fun."
Because of the number of people who have already signed up for the run, this year people will not be allowed to register on the day.
Children's hospital spokeswoman Sarah Vaccari said: "We are thrilled that with three weeks until the run more than 1,000 people have already registered to take part.
"This is the best response we have ever had so it should be an amazing day.
"If you, your family, friends or colleagues are planning on registering please do so soon to avoid disappointment.
"This event really does make a huge difference to the children we look after, and the more sponsorship money our runners raise the more we are able to purchase to make life in hospital that little bit easier for our young patients and their families.
"We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has already signed up for the run and also to all the families who have shared their stories about their hospital experiences with the Oxford Mail."

John Deere's new mounting brackets and attachments for smartphone and tablet devices allow business to continue as usual. The brackets include a cell phone mount bracket kit, a tablet mount kit and an accessory mounting bracket kit. They are cross-compatible with current John Deere monitor kits and can be customized to fit each operator's specific requirements in the cab. The cell phone kit is designed to securely hold cell phones, GPS and other devices of similar size without requiring foam pads or other stabilizing materials. The tablet kit is also designed to firmly hold devices, even in rugged terrain, and features easy-to-adjust wing nuts and ball joints that allow operators to change the position of the device as needed. For more information, contact your local John Deere dealer. A New 'Junction' For Hemisphere Hemisphere GPS Inc. is shifting its attention to focus entirely on the agricultural sector. The company has signed and closed a definitive agreement to sell all of the business assets associated with its non-agricultural operations to the Canadian subsidiary of Beijing UniStrong Science and Technology Company for nearly $15 million. These non-agricultural operations include the company's Precision Products portfolio, along with related infrastructure. A change this big deserves a new name, say company officials. Subject to shareholder approval in May 2013, Hemisphere plans on moving forward as AgJunction. "The decision to divest our non-agriculture operations reflects our focus on the core platforms necessary to extend our leadership in precision agriculture," says Rick Heiniger, president and CEO. "The result is a streamlined business that can more effectively capitalize on the expanding market opportunities in agriculture." The name and brand identity of Hemisphere would then be passed on to UniStrong, which intends to name the acquired operations "Hemisphere GNSS Inc." Because UniStrong was already a reseller for Hemisphere, the two companies plan to continue collaborating after the transaction, including supply chain management, customer support and non-competition and perpetual technology cross-licensing. Other than the name change and a plan to update the company's listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange from "HEM" to "AJX," the company is planning no disruptions to its existing agriculture business. AgJunction will operate out of Hiawatha, Kan. Electric Drive Sparks Interest in Planters Precision Planting has developed the vDrive, a new electric drive system for use with 20/20 SeedSense and vSet meters, initially available for John Deere, Kinze and select models of CNH planters. Company officials say the system can replace existing clutches, hydraulic motors and chains or cable drives, and also eliminate chain or cable maintenance. Instead, an electric drive controls each row individually for more precise planting. Regardless of curves, ground speed or prescription zone, it drives each vSet meter to plant precisely to the prescribed population. SeedSense uses GPS, radar and gyro inputs for accurate calculation of each row's velocity. The vDrive module includes an encoder and closed-loop control to help maintain accurate populations for each row in each foot of the field. For more information, visit www.precisionplanting.com.
