Top 10 Hottest Basketball Cards June 2010
TOP 10 HOT LIST
Basketball Cards On eBay
1 – Kobe Bryant Autographs – Memorabilia Cards ~ Last Month (1)
Kobe Bryant capped off another brilliant season by winning the NBA Championship against the hated Boston Celtics in 7 games. It's the 2nd straight title for the Lakers and Kobe's 5th overall. Sales of high end Kobe Bryant autograph and game used cards were on fire during the NBA Finals and have remained so after the thrilling game 7 victory.
Kobe Bryant Rookie Card Checklist
It remains to be seen if Kobe can equal or even surpass the 6 NBA Championships that Michael Jordan won during his illustrious career. With Phil Jackson returning to coach the Lakers in 2010/11, they are the early favorite to three-peat as league champions. Many of Bryant's top auto/game used cards were selling for over $1,000.00, prices typically reserved for high end Jordan cards.
2 – Michael Jordan High End Cards ~ Last Month (2)
Whenever the NBA Playoffs get going, Michael Jordan's name comes up a lot. Loyal fans still pay thousands of dollars for his autograph and game used cards. His name was at the top of the most watched basketball trading cards on eBay throughout the month of June, eclipsed only by Bryant cards.
If Kobe continues to win championships, it will be interesting to see the difference in price, if let's say Jordan and Bryant both have 6 rings. My guess is that Jordan will always win that battle, even if Kobe wins a 7th or 8th title. The love for Michael runs deep, but Kobe is right on his heels in terms of popularity amongst younger collectors.
Michael Jordan Rookie Card Checklist
3 – Rajon Rondo Rookie Cards ~ Last Month (5)
Throughout the NBA Playoffs, Rajon Rondo proved he was amongst one of the elite point guards in the league. He is a threat to go off for a triple double on a nightly basis. Sales of his cards started to really pick up steam as the Boston Celtics made their charge in the playoffs. Prices were not overwhelming, but the pop in sales was enough to move Rajon up to #3 on the list.
Rajon Rondo Rookie Card Checklist
4 – Kevin Durant Rookie Cards ~ Last Month (6)
Durant has appeared on the Basketball Hot List for the last several months. March #1, April #2, May #6, and this month he moves up to #4. He is on hobby radar screen now, and prices have remained steady after the Oklahoma City Thunder's performance against the L.A. Lakers in the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs.
Kevin Durant 2007/08 Rookie Card Checklist
The sky is the limit for Durant and the value of his cards. He has the potential to be one of the best players in the entire NBA. He does play in a very small market, but the exposure he got against the Lakers in the playoffs was enough to put his name on the map. Should he get his team deeper into the playoffs, it should push the value of his cards higher.
5 – High End Kevin Garnett Cards ~ Last Month (7)
Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett got the most love from collectors during the Boston Celtics playoff charge. Garnett in fact saw a nice pop in the sales of his high end autograph and game used cards. Collectors who got in the last couple years while Garnett has been hurt saw a nice up tick in the price of his cards. It's interesting to note that Paul Pierce and Ray Allen did not see significant movement in the price of their autographs.
Kevin Garnett 1995/96 RC Rookie Card Checklist
6 – LeBron James High End Cards ~ Last Month (4)
The season did not end well for the NBA Golden Child LeBron James. The Cleveland Cavs were ousted from the NBA Playoffs by the Boston Celtics and James did not play well during crunch time. Now the LeBron Free Agency Tour has officially begun and he has got teams such as the Knicks, Bulls, Heat, Clippers and the Cavs tracking his every movement hoping to woo his interest.
LeBron James 2003/04 Rookie Card Checklist
It will be very interesting to see where James ends up. If he does bolt out of Cleveland that will mean a whole new production of cards that will feature James in a new uniform. It could provide a boost to the basketball hobby if he does end up changing teams, but fans of the Cavs don't want to hear that!
7 – 1999 UD Retro Wilt Chamberlain Inkredible Autograph ~ Last Month (NR)
One of the hottest cards on eBay during the month of June was this spectacular 1999 Upper Deck Wilt Chamberlain Inkredible Autograph. The auction was the most watched basketball card during it's time on eBay. The final price was an astounding $2,011.00.
1999 UD Retro INKredible WILT CHAMBERLAIN Auto SP
Sold: June 2010
Watchers: 80
Final Price: $2,011.00
8 – Derrick Rose Rookie Cards ~ Last Month (8)
Derrick Rose has been creeping around the bottom of the Basketball Hot Lists for a couple months now. The idea of him teaming up with one of the top free agents on the market, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh get the collectors juices flowing. Sales of Rose's rookie cards have remained steady, even climbing upwards just a bit. Depending who the Bulls are able to land this off-season, a deep playoff run could fuel his cards even higher.
The thing that worries me about Rose is that his jump shot is not the best. He can get to the basket almost at will, but his mid-range and of course his three point shot need a lot of work. If Rose is in the gym working on those aspects of his game then he could become one of the top 2 or 3 point guards in the league.
9 – Russell Westbrook Rookie Cards ~ Last Month (9)
Westbrook is still hanging around the bottom of the Basketball Hot List after peaking at #1 in April. He teamed up with Durant to challenge the L.A. Lakers in the 1st Round of the NBA Playoffs. Russell showed quickness and a willingness to take the ball to the rim. Like Derrick Rose, Westbrook needs to work on his outside shot, but that is typically something most players need to work on.
10 – 2009/10 Panini Timeless Treasures Basketball ~ Last Month (3)
Collectors are really liking the high end cards that have come out of this set. The Laundry Tags and NBA Logoman cards have been a huge hit. Several of Kobe Bryant's autograph/game used cards sold for $1,000++ on eBay during the Lakers Championship run.
2009/10 Panini Timeless Treasures Checklist
With the 2009/10 Panini Basketball product line finishing up, it looks like Panini has a winner on their hands with Timeless Treasures. Basketball collectors have waited patiently for Panini to put out more sets with high end cards and they were rewarded for their wait with 09/10 Timeless Treasures.

Chalet Dominique	standard bookings run from	Sunday	to	Sunday.
Undoubtedly the best location in Morzine – opposite the Pleney slopes and in a quiet spot in the middle of town! Right behind many of the ski schools.
Hi Ben and Beth we had a great week and everything you organised or said you'd do did indeed happen promptly, thank you! Dominique is a great chalet, location amazing, and hopefully we'll be back next year.
Chalet was great - we will certainly be back next year!
A huge thanks for helping Christmas be a memorable one. From the minute we arrived until leaving we felt looked after. Chalet Dominique was so warm and cosy and even had a Christmas tree lit up waiting for us.
The kitchen and dining area is stocked with absolutely everything you can think of. Plenty of pots, pans, bowls and dishes. Better than most cottages we have stayed in back in the UK which made the few nights dining in a relaxed and stress free affair.
We were most comfortable all of us both in the lounge area and bedrooms. The TV was actually far better (though a little tricky to work out) than ours back home!
Thanks also for all your advice on where to eat and where to hire equipment from, again it just to out the stress of things.
Look forward to staying with you again in the future!
We are just home from 2 weeks staying in Chalet Dominque for our summer holiday. There were 7 of us ranging from 6 -70 and found the accommodation to be spacious and perfect for grandparents having the studio apartment downstairs. The chalet was well equipped and was great to have a nice new oven and hob which made cooking so much easier. Chalet centrally located but quiet location tucked down a little side street. So perfect for wandering down to pool, cable cars, walks along the river and eating out at night time. Lots of great restaurants to try within a 2 min walk and perfect to send teenagers out for croissants and baguettes in the morning! We arranged transfers through Alptitude and this went so smoothly and efficiently. Now back home and missing Morzine already. Thanks to the Alptitude team for a cracking fortnight away.

CTV marches for freedom
Cape Town TV (CTV) will be staging a march on parliament to call on the South African government to keep community television on air. The march will take place at 10am on Wednesday, 25 November 2009. It will start at Keizersgracht Street (opposite the Castle) and end at the gates of Parliament.
The state's broadcast regulator, ICASA, intends to switch off all community television stations next year as part of its digital broadcasting migration strategy. ICASA has not allocated any other frequencies for CTV to use and now plans to take the channel off air early next year to make way for cell phone TV.
But this is only one of the factors that directly threaten the existence of CTV and the other community television stations in SA. One of these is the thorny issue of government funding for the sector. Without government subsidies, it is very difficult for community organisations to sustain this form of public service broadcasting.
Certain costs are particularly problematic for community television, the main instance being transmission costs. Non-profit community TV stations are charged commercial rates for transmission facilities by the state-owned signal provider, Sentech.
Recently CTV had to go off air because it could not afford to pay Sentech. Says CTV Station Director Karen Thorne, "Through the Cape Town community's support the station is now back on air, but this is not a long-term solution. Government funding is vital for this type of public service television to survive without being commercialised.
"CTV supports the Public Service Broadcasting Fund proposed in the Public Service Broadcasting Bill, but it could take years for community TV to benefit from it. In the meantime community television stations are under constant threat of being cut off."
"An aggravating factor is that community TV operators are licensed through a one year 'temporary' license, which means they are not seen as secure long-term investment prospects and consequently struggle to attract financial support. The licensing period must be longer for community TV to be sustainable."
In addition to these problems, community TV stations are not protected during and after the migration to digital terrestrial television broadcasting. To add insult to injury, government structures have no clear plan in place to secure community TV's space on the airwaves after 2011 when all the other television broadcasters have made the transition to digital broadcasting.
CTV is demanding the following actions from government:
That CTV is not switched off when ICASA licenses a new cell phone TV operator next year but that a frequency is allocated to carry the channel.
The creation of a interim support fund for existing community TV stations, in addition to the speedy implementation of the Public Broadcasting Fund.
That Sentech provides CTV with a good quality signal and transmission for free or at a significantly reduced rate.
That community TV is protected during and after the migration to digital terrestrial television. •
Comments CTV Chairperson Martin Jansen, "Most citizens are simply not aware of these threats to community television and have not made their voices heard. If we want to save community TV as the people's voice, it is critical that we stand up for our right to communicate. We call on all citizens to join us in the march to parliament on Wednesday."
For further information, contact CTV Chairperson Martin Jansen on 021 447 2727 or Karen Thorne on 021 447 8377.

Рубен II (, 1165–1170) — вірменський князь із династії Рубенідів, шостий за ліком правитель Кілікійського вірменського царства. Син Тороса II

Життєпис
Рубен був сином вірменського правителя Тороса II та його другої дружини. За правом спадкування він після смерті свого батька мав зійти на трон Кілікії. Однак, коли 1169 року помер його батько Торос II, Рубен ще не сягнув повноліття. Через це в Кілікії розгорнулась боротьба за владу. Регентом молодого спадкоємця став його дід за материнською лінією — Томас (за іншою версією — Фома). Однак це не сподобалось брату покійного правителя — Млеху, який, узурпувавши права законного спадкоємця, змусив визнати себе спадкоємцем свого брата.

Втративши трон, Томас увів Рубена II до Антіохії, де той помер за кілька років.

Aluminium foam sandwich (AFS) is a sandwich panel product which is made of two metallic dense face sheets and a metal foam core made of an aluminium alloy. AFS is an engineering structural material owing to its stiffness-to-mass ratio and energy absorption capacity ideal for application such as the shell of a high-speed train.

Production and materials
In terms of the bonding between face sheets and foam core the processing of AFS is categorised into two ways – ex-situ and in-situ bonding.

Ex-situ bonded AFS

Ex-situ bonding is achieved by gluing face sheets with an aluminium foam by adhesive bonding, brazing or diffusion bonding. Foams used in this method are either closed-cell or open-cell. When a closed-cell foam is used then it is produced from aluminium alloys either by liquid metal route (e.g. Alporas, Cymat) or by powder metallurgy route. Open-cell foam core is made of aluminium and other metals as well. Face sheets are chosen from a variety of aluminium alloy, and other metals such as steel.

In-situ bonded AFS

For in-situ bonded face sheets the core is closed-cell foam. The goal of in-situ bonding is to create a metallic bonding between the foam core and face sheets. This is achieved in three ways. A foamable precursor is expanded between two face sheets.  When the liquid foam comes in contact with the solid face sheets a metallic bond is established. This is difficult to realize as the oxidation of both aluminium face sheets and foam prevent forming a sound bonding. There is also a risk of melting the face sheets. This procedure is successful when steel is used as face sheets instead of aluminium, while the foam core is aluminium.

Another strategy is to rapidly solidify the surface of a foamable molten metal before it can foam into a dense skin while the interior of the metal evolves to a foam structure. This process yields in an integral-type foam structure. Integral foam sandwich is made of aluminium alloys (AlCu4, AlSi9Cu3) and magnesium alloys (AZ91, AM60). In this process the material for the core and face sheet is the same.

The third way to achieve in-situ bonding consists of compaction of metal powders together with face sheets. This sandwich-compact assembly goes through several rolling steps to attain desired precursor and face sheet thickness. After which this three-layer composite is heated to transform the core layer into foam. The melting point of the face sheet material is above the melting point of the foamable precursor material. The precursor composition is usually Al-Si, Al-Si-Cu or Al-Si-Mg alloys while the face sheets are 3xxx, 5xxx and 6xxx series aluminium alloys.

Pre- and post-processing of AFS panels

It is possible to manufacture a complicated 3D shape from in-situ bonded AFS. In case of the second type, i.e. integral foam moulding, the desired geometry of the foamed part is achieved by designing the mould inside which the foam is cast.

In the case of the third type the three-layer composite precursor is reshaped prior to foaming. Heating of such part yields in a 3D shaped foam part. The three-layer composite AFS panels are also reshaped after foaming by forging. If an AFS is made of heat treatable alloys, the strength is further enhanced by age hardening. In order to join two AFS parts or to join an AFS part with a metallic part several joining technologies are employed, such as laser welding, TIG welding, MIG welding, riveting, etc.

Q: Images in CSV file don't show up in Anki I'm trying to import a CSV set of notes that include image references into Anki.
I have a file with Cloze substitutions and in one note I am using an image in the text:
 <img src="duck.jpg"> This picture is of a {{c1::duck}}

I've put duck.jpg in the media.collection folder (along side a lot of working media), but when I import it I see a broken image icon inside Anki.

A: It turns out OpenOffice was being "helpful" (or should that be "helpful") by turning my quotation marks in the img tag into curly quotes (") instead of normal quotes ("), which caused the img tag to be broken. I went through the file and replaced with single quotes, which OpenOffice didn't mess with, and the tag now works fine and the images show up properly in Anki now.

On the verge of facing the last year at the head of the autonomic television, SECUOYA has made a balance with his partners in the Region of Murcia. The current contract with the CARM is 8.9 million euros a year of which 3,521,844 euros, 40%, have gone directly to other production companies in the Region of Murcia that have produced and broadcast sports, cultural or social programs.
Another big part of the budget, 32%, is assigned to the staff, specifically 2,852,000 euros. The arrival of SECUOYA in the Region of Murcia has led to the creation of 106 direct jobs in Molina de Segura's headquarters of "La 7 TV", of which 90% are undefined. In the last year and through the 33 production companies that have worked for "La7 TV", another 179 jobs have been created, which means a total of 285 jobs. Another 10% of the budget falls on other auxiliary industries in the Region and the rest of it remains for emission rights and other general expenses.
The introduction of the programming that Secuoya and the regional production companies have in the civil society of Murcia is evident in the number of retransmissions that throughout the year have been made, a total 390; 324 retransmissions, more than those committed in the offer.
In a recent meeting held on Tuesday with the president of SECUOYA Raúl Berdonés and some audiovisual producers, he highlighted "This management model of an autonomous television is working as a real lever in the audiovisual sector of the Region as never before and as it has never occur in any other Autonomous Community".
More than 30 producers from Murcia wrapped up the Secuoya event in a balance sheet that was made at the CROEM headquarters after 4 years of management at the head of La7. SECUOYA domiciled CBM in the Region of Murcia, the company awarded the autonomic television, and has already signed more than 50 exclusive contracts with other audiovisual producers in the Region to go together to the next contest convened by the CARM to manage the autonomic. To the president of the Associations of Audiovisual Producers from Murcia, APROMUR, the model is working "the percentage of producing companies that have worked and still work for the autonomous channel is very high, allowing our business to increase". He adds "The future is promising as long as the current model is maintained in the new public tender".
Secuoya is currently developing activities in 5 countries with 1,800 audiovisual professionals in permanent staff and has become a worldwide referent in the sector. Nevertheless it has become the NETFLIX's partner in Europe, setting in Tres Cantos their first fiction production in Spain.
"La 7 TV" has grown year after year, coming from 0,7% in 2015 to 3% in 2018, which means more than 400% growth of TV audience in the last 4 years. This way, public TV in the region is closing the year above the other autonomous channels from Baleares, Castilla y León and the Valencian "A Punt". Throughout 2018, 1,278,000 viewers tuned "La 7 TV", 250.000 persons in average every day.
Special notice must be taken of the news on the channel, clearly aiming locality and proximity. All their daily editions double the average of the channel. The information coming from the communes is very important to this success. Thanks to the branches distributed among the region, "La 7 TV" consolidates the closeness of the information. For another year, each one of the communes of the region had visibility in the programs of "La 7 TV".
Only in 2018, 390 retransmissions have been done, 490% more than the committed and 2,946 hours of Public Services have been broadcasted, 34,89% more than committed. On its side, the website of "La 7 TV" had more than 4,880,000 views and 4,308 hours of self-production, 12,72% more than the offered.
Concerning accessibility, 8,873 hours of emission were subtitled, 55,67% more than the mandatory ones and 341 hours of audio-description were made, 9,29% more than what is stipulated by law. Concerning sign language, 378 hours have been done, 21,15% more than committed.

Michael Bloomberg to spend $100 million in Florida to help elect Joe Biden

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, who spent $1 billion on his 2020 Democratic presidential bid before dropping out, plans to inject at least $100 million to help Democrat Joe Biden's effort against Republican President Donald Trump in the important swing state of Florida.
The decision comes as Trump's initial financial supremacy over former Vice President Biden earlier this year has largely evaporated after high spending from the campaign and a surge in fundraising by Democrats.
Florida is one of the biggest prizes on Election Day, and it is also the most expensive of the expected battlegrounds in which to campaign. But polls there show a race that is effectively tied.
The Republican president, who trails Biden in national opinion polls before the Nov. 3 election, told reporters last week that he would spend his own money if needed.
"I thought Mini Mike was through with Democrat politics," Trump said on Twitter in reaction to the news. "Save NYC instead."
Trump's re-election campaign and the Republican National Committee on Wednesday said they raised a combined $210 million in August, falling far short of matching Biden's record-breaking haul of $364.5 million for the month.
"Mike Bloomberg is committed to helping defeat Trump, and that is going to happen in the battleground states," said Bloomberg adviser Kevin Sheekey, who said the spending "will mean Democrats and the Biden campaign can invest even more heavily in other key states like Pennsylvania, which will be critical to a Biden victory."

This past month, the 2018 Gartner Data and Analytics Summit exceeded expectations as the modern innovator's playground, striking a balance between capturing the pulse of today's data landscape and looking toward to the future of data-driven IT. The presentations and conversations provided considerable insight and sparked a lot of thinking around how the data landscape is evolving and how ASG could add value.
While managing and analyzing data was the lifeblood of Summit buzz, a few presenters took a step back to consider how the people behind the data can contribute to bettering analytics — diversity being one of the most momentous and important conversations. In her session, "Diversity in Data and Analytics Fuels Innovation on the Path to Digital Transformation," Debra Logan, VP and fellow at Gartner, pinpoints exactly where digital transformation and diversity intersect: an industry need for talent. Organizations want to put analytics at the center of digital transformation, but the skills and experts needed to do so are scarce. By embracing diversity and inclusion, companies can recognize and move beyond their own human biases and can cast a wider net building a higher performing team that brings a broader set of skills and perspectives to bear.
Logan called on IT decision makers to build a business case for diversity, highlighting the role that diversity plays in innovation, broader customer understanding, brand enrichment and benefits for recruiting and retention. Closing out her presentation, Logan drove home that when it comes to jobs, data and analytics positions can be filled by a broad range of professionals — kindling Summit conversations around how to seek out diversity actively and reach into new areas for talent.
Talent and the role of IT were hot topics at the Summit, with presenters predicting a huge evolution in how IT will function within organizations, sparking both concern and curiosity. Based on various sessions, exhibits and sideline conversation, it's clear that this change must start from the top. In fact, Gartner predicts that 80% of large enterprises will have a chief data officer (CDO) office in place by 2020.
As IT is redefined, the set of skills required of the modern data and analytics professional must also shift. In his presentation, "How to Create and Lead High-Performance Data and Analytics teams," Alan D. Duncan, research VP at Gartner, cited Gartner predictions that by 2019, 55% of citizen data scientists will surpass data scientists in the amount of advanced analysis they produce. At the same time, Gartner predicts that 40% of data science tasks will be automated by 2020 — relieving professionals of time-consuming tasks and making way for more strategic work. Automation was a largely talked-about theme at the Summit, with several perspectives offered on job making or taking. In this case, however, Duncan cited that automated data science tasks will result in increased productivity and more and better insights by citizen data scientists.
In addition to building the metadata that enables data pipelines, today's data engineer has become the "data guru" across both business and IT — promoting the role and capabilities of IT around data and analytics and collaborating with business units to enable data access and understanding. The twist is that, while data engineering requires a diversity of skills, including analytical, IT and interpersonal, Heudecker recommended that core data engineering tasks should be automated. By automating as much as possible — from data maintenance and data quality to data insight — companies can drive efficiency and reduce data engineering drudgery. Another point for automation!
The faster we can glean insights from our data, the better — a race to the finish that most Summit attendees knew well. Yet according to Ehtisham Zaidi, principal research analyst at Gartner, in his session, "From Self-Service to Enterprise Data Preparation — The Next Wave of Disruption for Pervasive Analytics," organizations are still reporting that more than 70% of their time is spent finding, accessing, preparing and sharing data for further analysis. Cue the rise of data preparation.
According to Zaidi, data preparation can shrink the time-to-insight for organizations. And while it was once used mostly by business or citizen users, or for self-service, data prep is now being leveraged for higher IT productivity. By incorporating data integration, data quality and metadata management, prepared data is becoming more trustworthy and can enhance organizations' ability to monetize information — a key action needed to drive digital transformation forward. In fact, Zaidi predicts that by 2020, organizations offering users access to a curated catalog of internal and external data will realize twice the business value from investments compared to those that do not.
There are three steps organizations can take to extract value from data: monetize, manage and measure. This approach to data meshes digitally-driven business initiatives with traditional (and still essential) data management — allowing organizations to know what information they have, where it came from and how to build a framework for effective use. Such insights can empower C-level decision makers to generate measurable economic benefits they can attribute to data assets — allowing them to better leverage the value at their fingertips.
As the value of data explodes, we need to learn how to harness it, fast. From the networking on the floor, to the engaging exhibits, to the powerful lineup of presentations, the 2018 Gartner Data and Analytics Summit did not disappoint. It was a powerful reminder of the momentum that can be created when the best minds and innovators come together for an exchange of information and vision. Of course, my favorite highlight was our session with ASG's Sue Habas and American Fidelity's Mark Nance, detailing how Mark used data to lead the digital transformation of his company.
If you didn't attend the Summit, keep your finger on the pulse of industry happenings by reading this ASG blog post on what we expect to see from data in 2018. And for information on how to tackle and maximize those trends, visit our product page.

New UA48 cotton variety impresses. Developed by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture.
The new UA48 cotton variety developed by the University of Arkansas System Division of Agriculture has set a new standard for fiber quality of upland cotton, the type grown in the Mid-South and South, according to reports from farmers and the StaplCotn marketing cooperative.
Jody Nail, a Prairie County farmer, said the UA48 cotton he delivered to the StaplCotn cooperative had a staple of 41. "The chart only goes to 37. They thought it was a mistake and retested it. It was literally off the charts."
A staple length of 41 means lint fibers were 1.28 inches long. Normally, a rating of 36 (1.125 inches) is considered excellent for the upland cotton grown in the Mid-South, said Frederick Barrier, vice president for domestic sales with the StaplCotn cooperative in Greenwood, Miss., which markets most of the cotton grown in Arkansas.
"It is a very exciting product. You've got a bale (of cotton) here that exceeds anything we have had in the past," Barrier said. UA48 cotton delivered to StaplCotn also posted very high scores for strength and uniformity of fiber length.
Barrier is optimistic about obtaining a price premium for growers. However, he could not predict how much the premium will be until buyers are identified for what he considers a unique product that exceeds current quality standards for upland cotton but is not Pima, the generic name for extra-long-staple cotton grown in California and Arizona.
"I think we can compete with California cotton," Barrier said. "I will market the heck out of this, but we don't have enough" from the 2011 crop. "You have got to find your customers for this product and develop the market."
Joe Townsend, a crop consultant in Lula, Miss., said one of his clients picked a very high yield of UA48 cotton on 540 acres, and it had a staple length of 40. The grower does his own marketing and is pursuing a lead on a California buyer who is said to be in the market for superior quality upland cotton.
Fred Bourland, the Division's cotton breeder and director of the Northeast Research and Extension Center at Keiser, developed the UA48 variety. He has other breeding lines with similar genetics for exceptional fiber quality, high yield and early maturity.
In addition to a staple length of 41, UA48 fiber from Bourland's test plots over several years had a "very high" strength rating of over 35 g/tex; a "base range" micronaire of 4.8, which relates to weight and fineness of the fiber; and a "very high" length uniformity of 87, which relates to the ratio of long to short fibers.
The Division of Agriculture and other public breeding programs have not marketed cotton seed in recent decades. They normally contract with private seed companies that purchase rights to a breeding line. However, at the urging of several growers, the Division sold about 1,150 fifty-pound bags of UA48 seed for planting in 2011 while pursuing a licensure agreement. Texas based Americot, Inc., bought the rights and is marketing seed as "AM UA48," a non-transgenic conventional variety, for planting in 2012.
Tom Barber, Arkansas Extension cotton specialist, said UA48 yield reports from Arkansas growers varied, but many reported excellent yields. The seed sold in 2011 was from cotton grown in a single field in Texas, and it had a relatively low germination rate, which required a higher seeding rate, but the problem was not variety related.
Americot general manager Terry Campbell said the seed company will assure a high germination rate for the AM UA48 seed it markets for planting in 2012. "We will have a limited supply, and our priority is to service our Arkansas customers with top quality planting seed."
Pima cotton grown in western states and other semi-arid or arid regions, where conditions are ideal for cotton production, is a different species than upland cotton and does not yield well in the Mid-South, Bourland said. Pima cotton must have a staple length of 1.375 inches or longer to meet the standards of Supima, the promotional organization for Pima cotton growers.
Although UA 48 cotton does not meet the length standard of Supima, it produces a noticeably superior yarn and fabric compared to some other upland cottons, said David Clapp, director of fiber processing for Cotton Incorporated, a cotton research and promotion organization based in Cary, N.C.
Bourland said UA48 typically does meet the length standard of 1.26 inches (40 staple) for extra-long-staple upland cotton set by Cotton Incorporated.
Clapp said Cotton Incorporated is acquiring several bales of UA 48 cotton to spin into yarn and make fabric for further research and development.
Fabric made from the breeding line later named UA48, which was grown in a performance test in Texas, exhibited "an excellent hand" -- a term that relates to the smoothness and softness of fabric as well as an excellent appearance.
Cotton Incorporated wants to develop a thorough understanding of UA48 properties at the fiber, yarn and fabric levels, Clapp said. A major priority of the organization is to encourage plant breeding and crop management practices to increase the overall quality of upland cotton and returns to the producer.
Cotton Incorporated provides funding to support breeding programs and other research across the Cotton Belt. Bourland said the organization has provided extensive resources for performance and fiber quality testing of his cotton breeding lines.


Hypertrichosis is characterized by excessive and abnormal hair growth anywhere on the skin and may develop after prolonged local irritation, such as application of a cast, injury, or a bite. Pressure garment/silicone therapy is often used to prevent hypertrophic scar formation. The adverse effects of gel sheet application include rash, skin breakdown, cessation of scar responsiveness, pruritus, contact dermatitis, and dry skin. We report on 7 burn patients who developed hypertrichosis following application of pressure garment/silicone therapy to prevent hypertrophic scarring.

Whilst on holiday in the beautiful Snowdonia National Park a few weeks ago, I sneakily took my aerial photography platform and Virtual Tour equipment with me so I could capture some photographs of the wonderful cottage where we were staying. You can see one of the resulting aerial photographs and a Virtual Tour I created on the right.
The cottage enjoys a peaceful rural setting on a working farm nestling in the rolling green hills near the market town of Bala, Gwynedd. Lovingly furnished with all the creature comforts you could need for a week away from home, the cottage was a truly welcome sight after a day out walking in the wild (and in November, wet!) Welsh hills!
The Virtual Tour allows you to look around this beautiful cottage as if you were there. Click and drag your mouse to look around each location, click on the red hotspots to jump location, or alternatively toggle the map display or panorama selector and jump directly to a particular location. The more observant viewer will also notice that in the two outdoor Tour locations there is a blue photo icon in the sky – clicking this will bring up the aerial photograph as shown to the right of this blog post.
With the internet has come many new ways to experience buildings and environments before you visit them – photographs and videos are commonplace, but Virtual Tours are a much underused (and in many ways superior) alternative. If you have a special project, building or location that you want to show off to your website visitors through the power of one of our Virtual Tours, please do get in touch and I will be happy to help.
