CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 23, 2012) - Avatar Energy Ltd. ("Avatar" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:AVG) is pleased to announce that, in furtherance to its previously announced strategic review process, it has entered into a binding letter agreement to sell its working interest in properties located in the Pembina Strawberry Creek area to an arm's length third party for cash gross proceeds of $3.12 million, subject to adjustment (the "Transaction"). The Transaction will close in two tranches with the first tranche (for $1,120,000) expected to close on November 30, 2012 and the second tranche (for $2,000,000) expected to close on or before February 15, 2013. The Transaction is subject to obtaining TSX Venture Exchange ("TSXV") approval and other conditions customary in transactions of this nature.

Here are my personal highlights from Lindy Focus X (and yes, I know these are suuuuuuuuuuper late):
9) The people!!!
First I need to thank the volunteer staff for being so incredibly awesome. They did a fantastic job making sure that everything was running in the background so that everyone could have a great time. THANK YOU to the cooks, transportation liaison, coordinator, music and sound technicians, hotel staff for making sure we had water, the DJs, photographers, videographers, the lighting coordinators, and everyone else who helped out Michael and Jaya in the background.
Secondly, I want to thank all of the people that attended, especially the students. You and your and enthusiasm are what make doing my job such a treat. You guys made the event as fierce as it was. I get to do what I do because of you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
8) The Nutcrackers.
7) Andrew Thigpen as the MC.
6) Nina Gilkenson impersonating Andrew Thigpen:
5) The Balitquerque party.
The Baltimore and Albequerque scene teamed up some time ago and have been throwing legendary parties at various dance events. At the end of these various events, Dorry (one of the head honchos in Baltimore) would rave about the party and ask us why Kevin and I weren't there. Unfortunately, we never got an invitation. This happened at two events. No bueno (*shakes head). So this year, Dorry made an extra effort to make sure we felt included.
Andrew Munoz dressed up in his tux and cordially informed us that we were invited to (*use your best British accent here) "enjoy an evening of tomfoolery" and that we should swing by room 166 around 7 o'clock. How delightful!
Here are some pictures that barely do the night justice.
This video is too dark to see the madness, but it's a good start 😀
4) Winning the Invitational Jack & Jill with Todd Yannacone. That competition was really hard to judge so I'm very surprised that we took 1st. I am positive the scores are all over the board, so I have to give a shout out to the Relative Placement system! 😀
3) Nath Bugh and Dorry Segev Dueling Piano number from the show on New Years Eve. The video speaks for itself.
2) Performing five new numbers this year, most of which I learned in the two weeks prior to the event.
The most challenging act I did was my solo jazz piece called My Discarded Men. I probably spent around 35 hours putting this routine together and trying to teach myself how to make the particular shapes I did. It wasn't perfect, but I am really proud of myself.
The least physically demanding, and most fun was performing my drunken striptease. Hahhaa, it's so nice to get to be ridiculous sometimes! Otherwise, it was a real pleasure to get to work with Gabby, Kelly, Melanie, Casey, and Natasha on the girls charleston piece in the New Years Eve show, as well as The Killer Dillers on our most recent group number. Finally, Sharon created a gorgeous choreography that had the ladies of the KD mostly naked on the floor.
1) All of the ridiculously awesome social dances I had on the last night!! Ok, so I was a little buzzed off of all the champagne I had, but man, my following was pretty freaking awesome (*toot toot). I had a number of really-freaking good dances that night, but in particular, I felt that I really connected with Todd and Mikey. Not only that, but Jonathan Stout and His Campus Five were playing. Gaaaaaaaaaah, the music was soooooooooooo freaking gooooood!!!

Reasons to Choose Dish Network Salisbury Ma Satellite TV:
Call Now for The Best
Salisbury Ma Dish TV Deal!
America's Top 120, America's Top 120 Plus, America's Top 200, and America's Top 250. Packages include Dish's DVR, "The Hopper."
As low as $19.00 per month for 12 months.
Yes. Salisbury Ma Dish offers satellite connections through its dishNET service.
The Hopper can't be overstated as a great device and benefit of choosing Dish Salisbury Ma. You get a DVR that is extremely capable when it comes to recording media, with a spacious 2 TB HD, which is more than enough to record several hours of high definition programming like sports, movies, and live events. The Hopper's also got the ability to record six different channels and programs at the same time, so there won't be any debates in the house as to who gets cut off. Everyone wins.
A long history of being one of America's best satellite providers goes a long way with consumers. With a reputation for quality service and great programming available, Salisbury Ma Dish continues to be a big hit with those who choose to go with the Salisbury Ma dish over the cable television. Satellite TV needs to stay competitive, especially at a time when it seems like cable options are becoming less and less, so Dish Salisbury Ma continues to make improvements where cable companies seem to be cutting corners.
Plenty of sports packages, including Racetrack Television and Outdoor Sports, which DirecTV doesn't offer. From NBA League Pass, to MLS Direct Kick, and more, there's a lot for sports fans to take into account when they're choosing the satellite TV package that's best.
The value of bundling is something to consider as well if you need satellite internet access. Salisbury Ma DishNET is a highly rated satellite internet service that can provide you with high, stable speeds when compared to DSL and other services, which is why you may want to consider adding it to your package. You can even save every month when you choose to do so, which is good news for consumers that like to see a little extra money in their account every year.
Free premium channels for 3 months , including HBO, Cinemax, Showtime, STARZ, and Blockbuster @ Home. Trial periods are always welcome with premium channels, as you will be able to determine whether or not you want to keep them on once your three month period has expired. You can also enjoy the On Demand content that these channels have to offer as well, so that you can catch up on all of the latest shows and original programming available. A great deal if you want to sample the latest premium television.
Free installation from experienced technicians is also a plus when you're talking about satellite television. We've all heard stories about technicians from the cable companies who take forever to do the job, show up late, or even fall asleep in a customer's home. Salisbury Ma DISH hires qualified and experienced technicians for both installation and any maintenance work that may be needed. You will find that their customer service is also top notch if you have any billing questions or need to request repair to a dish Salisbury Ma.
The Final Verdict
There's no doubt that there's a lot of competition currently out there for your television dollar, but Salisbury Ma DISH is in it for the long term, and their policies and services reflect that commitment. From new offerings like the Hopper and Bluetooth connectivity with their devices, to a keen eye on channel changes and upgrades whenever customer feedback is implemented, it's clear that Salisbury Ma Dish cares about retaining viewership as much as it does gaining it.
Promotional pricing, like the low $19.99 per month for a year deal, are another way that Dish Salisbury Ma introduces itself to a market which may not always be experienced with satellite TV. There's no better way to learn whether or not it's for you than at a price that's very, very affordable, especially when compared to the bloated billing you can find with some cable providers.
Ultimately, Dish Salisbury Ma still has the same considerations that other satellite providers will; TV outages may be expeirenced in periods of severe weather, and Salisbury Ma dish location and clearance is necessary to get a proper reception, but this isn't an issue for most households and rarely, if ever, is noticed in day to day usage. Salisbury Ma Dish's offerings like its DishLATINO package also makes it friendlier to households that are primarily Spanish speaking, and want to follow the latest international news and sporting events. With a lot to offer and plenty to choose from, it's really no wonder that Salisbury Ma DishTV often comes out on top.

Wow, technology has really come along way. You used to have to carry around a deck of cards everywhere you went to play with yourself. Now with any Android powered smartphone you can download this app for FREE from the Google Play Store, and be ready to play faster than you could shuffle a deck of cards. If you are not familiar with the game solitaire you will need to find instructions elsewhere, because they are not included with the game, and don't forget to ask mommy or daddy if its ok to download a new game on their phone. Its a pretty fun game overall, mostly luck of the deal once you learn how to play. The game does you give you the option to deal one card at time, so you will be pretty much guaranteed to win every time if pick that option, nice for times when you just want to feel good about yourself, like you have accomplished something for the day.
Lets check out some comments from the App store (with my comments in parenthesis):
Japhet on February 22, 2012 Motorola Photon 4G with version 1.12.2
Awesome! Great game never had an issue. I play every night before bed.
(haha, seriously? this review is a joke, you really play everynight? please seek help)
Tripp on January 11, 2012 HTC Evo 4G with version 1.12.2
Unrealistic I like the app but the algorithm/probability for this game is ridiculous. Ive played numerous solitaire games and can usually win within several tries. This one on the other hand hardly gives you a chance.
(try the 1 card at a time option…see my comments above about needing to feel better about yourself)
J.T. on December 21, 2011 Version 1.12.2
Wish it told you when you're out of valid moves
This does what it says it does. Really easy to play, too. Only thing missing IMO is that, unlike Windows solitaire, it doesn't tell you when you're out of valid legal moves. Beyond that, great little time killer.
(JT, the game is not that complicated, and you want it to help you out?? Why not find a game that plays itself for you?)
Enjoy Gamers!
and yes of course this is just a stupid post to try to win a tablet….

haunting advise
Posted 01 March 2012 - 12:33 PM
Posted 01 March 2012 - 01:30 PM
Sage is a very good thing to start with, as you've already started it's even better. Sage supposedly keeps spirits at bay and cleanses your soul. REmember to let the smoke go around you and to bring it into every room of the house or place you are staying at. If you're religious at all try praying, because even if you're not belief and will power are very strong forces to keep things at bay.
Don't give up hope and remember that there's always something that you can do. There is always a choice, and suicide is never a good choice to do.
Try burning a candle with the sage and saying a prayer. I do blood prayers when I have things that are bothering me (spirits ect.)
A blood prayer is simple, but it is also powerful. It bases itself strongly on will and your desire to cleanse yourself. Burn a candle of your favorite color, or element, and you cut your palm or finger, let it drip into the fire. (AS fire is often seen as a median to the other world or to the spirits, and to the gods and blood is also seen as a vital and spirtitual liquid) and say a prayer for your safety and that of your family.
DO NOT ask for safety from anything but the god you believe in, and the will to fight on your own. You do not want to get into the debt of anything that could plague you. The prayer must be written carefully.
Light the candle, cut your palm or finger, say the prayer, let the blood estinguish the candle. A lot of people let the fire seal the wound shut. Only do this if you have the pain tolerance for it. If you want me to look over your prayer to make sure that it does not sound like you are trying to contact help from another spirit then I will gladly do so.
IF this doesn't work or you'd like another option, just give me more information and I'll gladly help you more. You may also contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com (just mail.com) that is my email address and I check it 3-4 times a day.
Good luck,

i live in troy ny . aprox a year ago i went to pinewoods graveyard around 4 a.m. finding nothing on my recorder or on film i went ddown the road to elmwood cematery, there i got several class A . e,v,p's and unbielevable pics, aprox one month later i started hearing voices in my apt in the middle of the night, then the nightmares started horrible dreams of myself doing sick things to women, i am a father of two daughters so this espesialy bothered me, i am not a rapist or murderer. then depression set in. i started having thoughts of suicide and thinking im all alone no one cares ect, the final straw came one evening when i was awoke by my dogs barking at the pantry door, i yelled out LEAVE ME ALONE! a second later somthing whispered in my ear,,no.. i set up a video camera and left it recording all night what i got was proof that theres somthing here, sage seems to help and things have quieted down but i know its still here. any help or advice would be greatly apreciated, i posted my video on utube, its,, ghost sword trimmed,,the trimmed part was a mistake but it makes finding the post easyer..also you can hear voices in the backround,,i set the video up to watch my hallway and was amazed at what i got on video,, please understand this is real not a hoax as you will hopefully see, im going to try moving but from what ive read that might not change anything,, again ANY advice or someone i can contact ,, i dont know how much longer i can take this,,
Well, I am not a skeptic, however you said you live in an apartment. If there is an apartment above yours, someone upstairs may walk with dumbo feet, and cause vibrations, which may cause your sword to move as such. I am no expert though. As far as the voices in the video go, maybe a neighbor has their TV up too loud? Again I am not an expert or skeptic, I just always try to find logical explanations for happenings like this.
As for your personal experiences I have no comment on other than something most likely followed you home from the cemetery. Did you do anything to make this spirit want to harm you, when you were at the cemetery, did you taunt it at all so you'd get a reaction? I've been followed home by spirits before, but they eventually end up leaving without causing me harm/distress, so I usually chalk those up to spirits being curious about my curiosity about them. LOL
Posted 03 March 2012 - 07:52 AM
The background noise almost sounds like a television or something, but I couldn't tell. The movement of the sword on the wall is interesting, because the sword next to it doesn't move at all. Are they both hung in the same fashion?
And what's behind that wall? Anything that could cause it to shake?
Either way, you sound like you are in a lot of angst and need some help. I suggest you follow Faye's advice - if you have a priest or clergyman you could talk to, that may help - depending on your personal beliefs.
A cleansing or smudging of the house may help or you could consider inviting a paranormal group that specializes in cleansings to help you. You'll have to look for a group with many years experience. You'll need expertise for this, but here's a good youtube video on it: http://www.youtube.c...feature=related
I hope that you find this helpful. Remember, if you decide to smudge, be certain to get every area of the house, including the attic, basement and any closets or crawl spaces. Please let us know how things go?
Take care.

But I would remove "at the very least," because I feel you really hit on the most important aspect of protecting oneself from unwanted/uninvited spiritual visitation, or even possession. We should all strive to go into a situation, whether it be a formal paranormal investigation or a personal situation that includes some sort of unexplainable experience, with a strong sense of self and inner strength.
You don't have to have a specific faith or even believe in God, but for those that do, if that is what works for them, then so be it.
Everyone needs this.
It's really interesting. I've been in a few groups and observed that some say a prayer at the end of investigations; while others simply state, "You are not allowed to follow me home." Some folks wear holy crosses or medals; others bring crystals or candles, other such objects to protect, but whatever you believe is effective in warding off visitors or spiritual stowaways is all that really matters.
I used to scoff at people when they told me they brought stuff home, but after hearing so many stories of this phenomena, I started to think there was something to it. And although I'd love to hear more of such experiences, I hope it never, ever happens to me!
Posted 13 April 2012 - 02:49 PM
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle;
be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray:
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan and all the evil spirits
who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen. or
ephesans 6
Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devils schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lords people.
of course these prayers i suggest are christian cuz i am, but while saying these prayers i definitely would be saging too

I do like sage and I do like the prayer of Saint Michael. They can certainly help protect you.
While I watched the video I kept feeling that you should slow it down to hear what they are saying. That would be something else a paranormal group could help you with.
If you ever go to a cemetery to take photos/evps again, place protection around you BEFORE going onto the grounds AND when you leave, sage yourself and say that anything or anyone must stay where they are. They are not welcome to follow you.
Also, did you take anything from the cemetery? If so, you need to return it, no matter what it is.

- What I Love About My Small Home:
- Nate and I were hesitant to move into a tiny apartment. He was leaving a roomy loft in North Carolina for my home base in NYC, and I had my heart set on a Lab rescue named George, whose food bin outsized the fridge. But my gut told me the 1911 townhouse with a fireplace and original floors could squeeze us in.
We fit the world in our petite retreat. Carefully curated pieces collected on our journeys pepper our apartment with memories, like the antique Berber door we lugged back from Morocco that anchors the living room.
Family keepsakes balance our far-flung finds. Nathan's beloved grandma's lucky horseshoe props up our drafty window. My dad's bronze andirons add glamour to the rustic fireplace. A trunk salvaged from an estate sale acts as our coffee table and linen storage. Its shipping tags are from 1935—Elvis's birth year!
- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- I wanted a high-functioning livable space — a challenge at 348 ft²! We manage to keep the place feeling fresh by editing, avoiding clutter by allocating a single wall for photos, bold statement pieces, and calming gray paint. Nathan's special request before moving in was a big couch he could comfortably stretch out on; initially I worried that it would overwhelm the room, but it grounds our place. It all worked out, especially for George, since oftentimes that's where he hangs!

Getting the Lead Out
Fifteen years after being effectively removed from the U.S. market, the prolific danger of leaded gasoline becomes clearer.
Think lead poisoning and you probably imagine dilapidated houses where babies and toddlers munch on flaked-off paint chips and inhale paint dust. Indeed, America's lead paint problem is real and damaging, but the history of another, somewhat forgotten source of lead-gasoline—turns out to be alive—and not well.
Leaded gasoline, created to eliminate the knocking sound inside engines that can occur when fuel combusts too quickly, was sold in the United States for roughly seven decades, from the 1920s until a 10-year phase-out ended in 1996.
Even at low levels, lead has been associated with serious health problems, including brain damage, learning and behavioral problems—and even criminality.
Blood tests performed during the period when lead-laced fuel was en vogue were often contaminated and therefore unreliable, making it impossible to know just how much of the lead children in that period took in came from gasoline as opposed to lead ingested from other sources. However, the effects of the fuel ban appear clear: Federal statistics show that nearly 78 percent of children had elevated blood lead levels in 1976, compared with just more than 4 percent in 1994.
Recently, a team of Case Western Reserve University scientists revealed just how big a role leaded gas played in childrens' consumption of the toxic metal.
It was gas—not paint or soldered food cans—that they say was responsible for two-thirds of children's uptake of lead in the latter two-thirds of the 20th century.
The finding not only reinforces the continuing danger in the 10 countries that still use leaded fuel, but also raises questions about the health of adults whose childhood was marred by lead spewed from tailpipes.
A History of Finger-Pointing
"There had been tons of reports showing a correlation between the drop in atmospheric lead and the lead in children's blood," says Norman Robbins, MD, an emeritus neuroscience professor at Case Western Reserve, who spearheaded the research. "So it was extremely clear to us that atmospheric lead was affecting levels of leads in children very, very strongly."
For decades, the lead paint and leaded gas industries have blamed each other for lead poisoning. What's more, industry scientists in the early days of leaded gasoline suggested that the human body naturally harbored lead, so high levels from the product shouldn't be of concern, according to Jamie Lincoln Kitman's award-winning exposé of the industry published in The Nation in 2000.
"This historical debate over liability and responsibility goes back 45 years," says David Rosner, PhD, co-author of the book Deceit and Denial, The Deadly Politics of Industrial Pollution, a history of environmental polluters. "Both the paint and lead industries are polluting the environment and causing lower IQs and have gotten out of it by pointing fingers at the other source."
Kitman says the debate goes back even further. From the time the first leaded gas was pumped at a Dayton, Ohio, station in the 1920s, he says, the automotive industry has battled with government health officials over its safety.
Thomas Midgley, an ambitious engineer who zeroed in on tetraethyl lead (TEL), an ingredient in leaded gasoline, as an anti-knock agent, went to great lengths to prove it was harmless, despite becoming living proof of its dangers. Midgley developed lead poisoning in 1923, but for more than a decade after would continue to demonstrate TEL's "safety" in public appearances by washing his hands in it.
"He was a type of mad scientist," Kitman says, adding that early on, many in the lead and automotive industries became so invested in TEL they made outlandish claims for it. "As they became accepted, they sort of started to believe," he says.
Robbins says that after decades of back-and-forth, he and his team decided to dig in and settle the score once and for all.
Putting the Debate to Rest
Professor of Dental Medicine James Lalumandier, DDS, and Richard Shulze, DDS, then a Case Western Reserve dental student, worked with collaborators at Northern Arizona University to provide, prepare and measure lead in the teeth of 124 Cleveland adults, most of whom grew up in inner-city neighborhoods.
Lalumandier says their teeth acted as a kind of historical record of exposure, as certain molars develop between infancy and age 8, which is when lead is likely to do permanent damage to a child's developing nervous system.
The researchers studied teeth that formed between 1936 and 1993 and had been extracted for dental purposes. Most were from African American patients because, the researchers say, lead poisoning is generally associated with poverty, and black children growing up in the 1960s and '70s were more likely to be lower-income, live near heavy traffic in homes with lead paint and be at an increased risk because of nutritional deficiencies.
Analysis by graduate student Zhong-Fa Zhang and statistics professor Jiayang Sun revealed the gravity of Clevelanders' exposure.
Their research, which was published in the June issue of the journal Science of the Total Environment, shows the amount of lead stored in teeth mirrored the use of TEL. The highest levels of lead ingestion occurred in the teeth of Clevelanders who were children growing up between 1960 and 1975-when use of the fuel was at its peak.
The team reported that, by extrapolation, the average blood lead level when TEL usage was at its highest was around 48 micro-grams of lead per deciliter. That far exceeds the modern federal threshold for elevated blood lead levels of 10 micrograms per deciliter. Many cities, including Cleveland, have set an even more rigorous standard, with 5 micrograms per deciliter as the cutoff.
"Forty-eight micrograms per deciliter would today be considered a medical emergency," says Stuart Greenberg, a 1966 alumnus of Adelbert College, now executive director of the Cleveland nonprofit organization Environmental Health Watch.
Effects Felt Around the World
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 250,000 U.S. children still have elevated blood lead levels. The problem is likely to be an even larger issue overseas, where some developing countries continue to rely on leaded gasoline to power cars and other equipment.
"This is a wakeup call for them to stop using leaded gas as soon as possible," Lalumandier says.
Rob de Jong, head of the United Nations Environmental Program's transport unit, says that as much as 90 percent of lead uptake in developing countries has been blamed on TEL. The countries believed to still use leaded gas are Afghanistan, Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, North Korea and Yemen. Bosnia-Herzegovina, Montenegro, Myanmar and Serbia have said they plan to or hope to stop using leaded gas by early 2011.
Only one company remains that produces TEL. In March, that company agreed to pay $40.2 million after the Securities and Exchange Commission charged it with bribing Indonesian and Iraqi officials to keep buying TEL. The company neither admitted nor denied the charges in agreeing to the fine.
On the Home Front
Cleveland has consistently logged among the highest rates of lead poisoning in the country because of aging housing, traffic and proximity to industries that used the metal. As of 2008, some 3,298 children in the city had lead poisoning, based on the city's strict 5 micrograms per deciliter cutoff.
"No doubt a substantial proportion of Cleveland's population has suffered because of it, and the community has suffered because of that," says Greenberg, of the Cleveland environmental nonprofit.
The problem, Robbins says, is that many people with lead-related health problems are unaware of their source. In fact, many Cleveland residents and others who grew up in parts of the country with heavy traffic in a time where leaded gas was unregulated have suffered health consequences from atmospheric lead they may not know about. And women who were exposed to lead in childhood may have stored it in their bones and passed it along to their children, says Shulze, who is now in private practice.
This October, Robbins presented the group's findings to the Greater Cleveland Lead Advisory Council. Possible public health responses could include testing of adults and educational or behavioral training for people whose health was compromised by lead, particularly those exposed during the peak years of TEL usage, he says.
For now, the Cleveland Department of Public Health's lead poisoning program focuses on getting children tested and remediating homes with lead paint. No determination, though, has been made about whether the study indicates the need for expanded soil cleanup, says Matt Carroll, a department spokesman.
"Environmental impacts on adults would be of interest," he says, "but we're very much laser-focused on young children."
Robbins says the public may have a responsibility to widen that focus.
"If we're correct that the levels they were facing at the peak were 48 micrograms per deciliter, that blood level is associated with lots of problems," he explains. "So it's not just a guess they would have problems—it's highly likely. We kind of owe it to them to help."

Economists with the National Cotton Council say that despite four years of supplemental assistance to growers and continued Council efforts to open more markets in the Caribbean and elsewhere, the U.S. cotton industry remains in peril.
Speaking at the NCC's annual meeting in Dallas, the economists noted the Council's efforts to deliver disaster assistance legislation to growers the last four years and to win implementation of laws such as the Caribbean Basin Initiative. But, they said, those have been offset by other factors outside the Council's or its members' control.
In noting the U.S. dollar's strength and the reality of U.S. manufacturing being unable to compete against artificially cheap foreign products, the economists said, "firm closures and job losses continue across the United States as the nation finds itself unable to establish effective policies to address the situation.
"While the U.S. cotton production sector seeks an effective farm policy in a debate that has now stretched out to a year in length, the U.S. cotton textile industry fights for its very survival. The entire U.S. cotton industry faces unrivaled pressures on its very existence. Farm sector economics are as bleak as any seen in the post-war period. Prices for most commodities have not covered production expenses for five consecutive years."
The economists said that as U.S. cotton considers the transition to an export-oriented industry, each cotton policy component sought by the NCC is "crucial." Among those are unrestricted access to a marketing loan keyed to world price, holding on to a highly efficient yarn-spinning sector by eliminating the Step 2 threshold and seeking implementation of effective regional trade agreements.
For 2002, the NCC economists project U.S. growers will produce a 17.1-million-bale cotton crop, domestic mill use will hold at 7.5 million bales and U.S. exports could reach 10.2 million bales — if China becomes a net importer of raw cotton.
They said many analysts predict China will be in a zero-import position during the 2002-03 crop year, but if the Chinese abide by their World Trade Organization commitments and if they reduce their plantings, then net Chinese imports of 2 million bales or so are possible. The United States should expect to garner some 50 percent of any Chinese raw cotton imports, the economists said.
Based on that production and offtake estimate, the economists projected U.S. stocks on July 31, 2003, would be 8 million bales with a corresponding stocks-to-use ratio of 45 percent.
The NCC economists pegged world cotton production for 2002-03 at 91 million bales, with the bulk of the reduction from the 2001-02 level of 96.7 million bales borne by the United States and China. With world mill use projected to grow slightly to 92.5 million bales, ending world stocks July 31, 2003, would decline to 42.6 million bales and the world stocks-to-use ratio would decline to 46 percent.
The economists noted that the world cotton situation is troubling with world mill use of cotton "in suspended animation" even as the world economy has grown in the past decade. Unfortunately, the growth in world fiber use has been captured by man-made fibers.
"The WTO accession by China was to open up a potential market for more than 3 million bales of the world's cotton," their report noted. "As yet, this remains unrealized and Chinese actions going into the planting season for 2002 are uncertain."
The economists also announced the results of the NCC's 19th Annual Early Season Planting Intentions Survey — total U.S. upland cotton plantings of 14.49 million acres, a decrease of 6.7 percent from 2001 plantings of 15.53 million acres. The survey revealed extra long staple (ELS) intentions of 247,000 acres, which would be a 5.3 percent decline from 2001. With average abandonment, total upland and ELS harvested area would be about 12.87 million acres.
Applying each state's average yield to its 2002 projected harvested acres generates a crop of 17.1 million bales — 16.6 million bales of upland cotton and 535,000 bales of ELS cotton. This compares to 2001's record total production of 20.08 million bales, according to USDA's January 2002 estimate.
Cottonseed production for 2002 is projected to 6.5 million tons in 2002, down from 7.6 million tons the previous year.
Kent Lanclos, assistant director of the NCC's Economic Services, cited weak cotton prices as a major factor behind the expected 2002 cotton acreage reduction.
Based on survey results, the largest decrease in cotton acreage is expected for the Mid-South with a reduction of almost 20 percent. A decrease of 11.6 percent is indicated for the West and a 3.1 percent decline is projected in the Southeast. Upland cotton acreage in the Southwest is projected to increase 1.6 percent because of higher acreage in Texas.

NOGALES, Ariz. - Border security first. That's the rallying cry of many political conservatives who see 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country as clear evidence that the federal government has failed at border enforcement.
And they say, before reforming the immigration system and offer a path to citizenship to those who came here illegally, the government must secure the border.
Here in the communications room of the U.S. Border Patrol's station, two men sit facing a wall of computer screens. Amid the scratch and static coming from the radios of agents in the field, the two men move joysticks back and forth, watching the displays.
They see what the massive cameras mounted along the Mexico border see. A single figure is standing near the looming border wall that separates the two countries. That makes the camera operator suspicious.
"He's talking to someone to see if the coast is clear," the operator says.
This is the modern face of high-tech border security. It's become a massive slice of federal law enforcement spending - $18 billion was spent last year on immigration and port security. That was more than on drug enforcement, the FBI and gun investigations combined.
The Border Patrol alone more than doubled in size in the last decade to more than 21,000 agents. The Homeland Security Department has built 652 miles of steel barriers along the southern border.
Is it working? And if so, how do we define that?
A report two weeks ago from the Government Accountability Office, done at the request of U.S. Rep. Ron Barber, D-Ariz., said despite the massive deployment of resources and spending, defining what is a secure border remains elusive.
"What they found was that there really is a plan without goals, without measurements, or an evaluation function, which means, we really don't have a plan," Barber said.
On the line, the resources are manifest, and there is a sense that they may be making a difference.
Andy Adame, a spokesman for the Border Patrol's Tucson Sector, is driving a dirt trail set against a backdrop of yellowing grasses and looming mesquite trees toward the massive border fence. No longer do strands of barbed wire divide the two countries.
The new U.S.-Mexico border fence west of Nogales actually sits about 40 feet north of the physical boundary, creating a sort of no-man's land marked by low-slung vehicle barriers.
"You don't see that anymore," Adame says. He points to the fence. "This, in order to cross this, you better be 18 to 40 years old and in good physical condition."
It's called the PV-1, 30 feet of diamond-shaped steel bars above ground and six feet more below. It can absorb a pickup truck ramming into it at 55 mph.
"I think we have reached that point where we have a significant amount of fencing where it does now have an impact on illegal immigration and drug organizations trying to bring their illicit cargo across," Adame says.
One measure of success: Apprehensions across the border have dropped; places such as San Diego have reported arrests have dropped to one-third of what they were.
But that doesn't tell the full story. For example, recividism rates declined about 6 percent from 2008 to 2011, meaning many of those crossing illegally are trying again and again. And the agency's Tucson Sector remains the busiest in the country, accounting for more than one-third of illegal traffic.
The numbers can be confusing, too. Arrests of illegal immigrants drop and that's called a success. But the amount of drugs seized goes up and that's also called a success. While 2011's apprehension numbers dropped compared to 2008, drug seizures went up by 20 percent.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano was asked about that juxtaposition last summer by a member of a Homeland Security oversight congressional committee.
"The apprehension numbers are used as a proxy for how many are attempting," Napolitano said. "We actually think that we are now picking up almost everybody that is trying to cross that border illegally."
That created a stir. Members of Congress wanted to know: where?
"Oh, I would have to give you a list. At least one of the Arizona sectors, I think we are getting virtually everybody," she said.
Congressman Barber's proposal: Ask the people who actually live on the border.
"They're going to tell me if they see a lower number of people coming through. They're going to tell me if they can go to town without taking their kids with them, if they can go to the clothesline without wearing a weapon because they feel more secure and safe on their own land," Barber said.
One of those border residents, Jim Chilton, lives 19 miles north of the border in Arivaca. His cattle ranch runs to Mexico. He's seen it all: Dozens of people arrested just back behind his house; spotters working for drug runners laying up in the hills on his ranch watching for agents.
Chilton says the job isn't done.
"A secure border means to me that the United States government is protecting me from foreign threats," he says.
For its part, Customs and Border Protection agreed with the GAO's audit. It has said it will design a plan that defines what border security actually means.
That answer will come next November.
For now, Barber says he's going to hold a series of public meetings in the next few weeks to develop an answer.

Troy names Cunningham new men's basketball coach
Troy, AL – Troy University has named Phil Cunningham its new men's basketball coach.
Cunningham spent the 2012-13 season as an assistant at Western Kentucky after holding previous assistant coaching jobs at Mississippi State, Georgia State and James Madison since 1995.
"It's a tremendous honor and privilege for me to be named the new men's basketball head coach at Troy University," said Cunningham at a Tuesday news conference.
Troy needed a replacement for Don Maestri, who announced his retirement after the Trojans were eliminated from Sun Belt Conference Tournament earlier this month. Maestri led the program for 31 years, guiding the Trojans to 500 wins and the transition from Division II to Division I.
"Don Maestri is as humble as someone gets. I have great respect for what Coach Maestri did here," Cunningham added.
Cunningham spent 12 years as an assistant at Mississippi State before heading to Western Kentucky this past season. He also spent five seasons as an assistant under Lefty Driesell at James Madison and Georgia State.
While at Georgia State, Cunningham worked with current Troy athletic director John Hartwell, then an associate AD.
Prior to his 18 years as a Division I assistant, Cunningham was the head coach for three seasons at NAIA Sue Bennett College in Kentucky. He guided that program, transitioning from junior college status to NAIA, to 48 wins.

"Music service Spotify has decided to target iTunes users by introducing iPod syncing capabilities to its own software. That's not all, though: Spotify is introducing its own MP3 download store, and can now wirelessly sync MP3s to iPhones and Android devices." Well, if they manage to build client software that's better than iTunes, then more power to 'm. Ah what am I saying, it would be a bigger achievement to write client software that's worse than iTunes.

You have to admire the Republicans (in a perverse "hate what you do but admire how well you do it" sort of way) for how consistently they have pulled off their game. They are running both the short and the long con. For decades now, they have been working diligently to wedge the classes further apart. At first I thought they we doing it by decreasing the size of the middle class, increasing the size of the lower class and strengthening both the resolve and power of the upper class via rules and regulations (or lack thereof) designed to achieve said results.
More recently, I've begun to think I completely missed the boat. While it is true that in the US the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer, the most important statistic is that the gap between the top 1%, in terms of wealth, and the rest of us is as bad as it is has been in 90 years. The top 1% of the US have almost 39% of the wealth in the US. And a full 50% of our population own only 2.5% of the over all wealth. (All data above and below is from The Institute on Policy Study).
Change the measurement to stocks, bonds and mutual funds and that percent shifts to a whopping 51% of the wealth being owned by the top 1%. Expand that 1% to the top 10% and 90% (no, that is no a typo) of what I'll call the "Wall Street Wealth" is owned by them. Anyone still wondering why there was a Wall Street bailout and not a Main Street bailout?
It's not that the Republicans are trying to decrease the size of the middle class. They are trying to widen the gap between the wealthy and the middle class effectively reducing the middle class to a working class poor by comparison to the wealthy. I might add that they are rather successfully doing so.
While the top 1% have seen their share of capital income increase by nearly 20% over the last twenty years, the bottom 80% have seen theirs fall by almost 15%. CEO's income has risen 300% in that time. Corporate profits have increased by 106%... and worker's pay has increased a measly 4.3%. You have to hand it to the Republicans – they are good at this.
What is surprising is how well they play the working middle class. A surprisingly high number of that group of people are some of the stanchest supporters of Republicans. The Republicans are playing a long con here, making promises and appearing one way while working as hard as they know how to achieve results that rip off their strongest supporters. All the while, their actions tell the tale saying to those not in the top 10%, "get your own."
Recent battles on the hill should be more than enough to pull the curtain back to reveal congressional Republican's real motivation, as they work hard to stop Obamacare, stop extending unemployment checks and, at the same time, extend tax cuts to the wealthiest 1%. While they do, they wrap themselves in the flag, shout things like "down with socialism" and "no taxes," in an attempt to endear themselves to middle class America. All the while, they are working to install a plutocracy operating under the false front of a democracy in America... and they are doing it in God's name.
And that's where we should ultimately see thorough their ruse most clearly. Adopting Christian precepts to support stepping on the least of these, to intentionally marginalize part of a society, to relegate a particular segment of a population to a place where they struggle to maintain good health, shelter and food while a small percentage of the elite dine of the backs of the least of these... well, that should be a con that just won't sell.
My question is, when is the Church going to do something about it? My question is, when are you, when am I, when are we going to do something about it? We have the numbers, just not the money. We still live in a democracy (for now). When are we going to do something about it?

After Dover, no school district will dare breathe a word about "creationism", unless they want to risk being bankrupted by ACLU lawsuits. The Darwinists have saved the secular sanctity of their temples: the public schools. They didn't win on science, persuasion, or the evidence. They won the way liberals always win: by finding a court to hand them everything they want on a silver platter.
This isn't science…2
The NCSE tells school boards that "evolution isn't scientifically controversial," so "arguments against evolution" are "code words for attempt to bring non-scientific, religious views into the science curriculum." Since U.S. courts have declared it unconstitutional to teach religion in public schools, this amounts to a warning that the school board is contemplating something illegal. If the warning doesn't work, the NCSE calls on the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) for backup, and the ACLU sends a letter to the school board threatening an expensive lawsuit. Since every school district in the country is already struggling to make ends meet, this bullying by the NCSE and ACLU has been quite successul in blocking overt critisizm of Darwinian evolution in public school classrooms.4
The truth is that a surprising number of biologists quietly doubt or reject some of the grander claims of Darwinian evolution. But – at least in America – they must keep their months shut or risk condemnation, marginalization, and eventual expulsion from the scientific community. This happens infrequently, but often enough to remind everyone that the risk is real. Even so, there is a growing underground of biologists who are in disenchanted with the Darwinists' censorship of opposing viewpoints. When isolated dissidents begin to realize how many of their colleagues feel the same way, more and more of them will begin to speak out.5

LCC defeats Louisburg, 3-0, in conference rematch Wednesday.
The Lancers held on Wednesday to continue a four-game winning streak.
Lenoir Community College swept conference matchup Louisburg College after returning home from an eight-game road run that started with a 3-1 win over the Hurricanes.
The Lancers topped Louisburg 3-0 (25-18, 25-16, 25-18), leveling their conference record to .500. LCC is 7-10 overall and 4-4 in Region 10 division after Wednesday�s win. Blocking was huge in the victory as the Lancers tacked 11.
�We want the game played at the net,� assistant coach David Barnes said. �Balls that (Louisburg) passed slightly over the net, we were converting them back over hard. � I thought we did a great job of blocking their hits and blocking their overpasses.�
Middle blocker Deshona Cox led LCC with two solo blocks and one block assist. Caroline Jones added two solo blocks of her own for the Lancers.
Blocking helped Louisburg break ahead of the LCC in the third set Wednesday, as the Hurricanes went up 17-16 off a pair of big defensive move on the net. But Cox had an answer for them on three straight points. She swatted an overpass down to the unsuspecting Canes and tipped the ball to another empty spot for the next point.
When Louisburg trailed by only two, a couple of late hitting errors gave up crucial points. Coach Colby Mangum said such mistakes may have cost her team the match.
�We can�t hit a ball in bounds,� Mangum said. �We rely on blocking every game, and if it doesn�t show up, we�re in trouble.�
Barnes said Louisburg is a good team that the Lancers simply overpowered.
�We made them look not really good tonight,� he said. �We just had a big night at the net.�
When the Lancers weren�t converting blocks into points, they could rely on their hitting game. Cox recorded eight kills, while Perry led LCC with 10. The team kept their attacking errors to a minimum, with only 11 to Louisburg�s 20.
�We worked really hard for this game,� said Perry, a freshman from Raleigh. �We�ve been preparing all week on hitting, placing and communicating.�
Barnes said Wednesday�s team is not the same group from the beginning of this season.
�We�re so much better than we were early,� he said. �You�ve got nine freshmen over there; they�ve grown immensely and we�re going to keep growing because these freshmen are starting to get a little confidence and are playing the game at college speed instead of high school speed.�
With a clearly improved team, LCC travels to Lance-Granville CC Friday to start their last road streak of the regular season.

Suffolk University Law School has launched a new Legal Technology and Innovation concentration, creating one of the first formal programs in the country to equip JD students with the skills and knowledge they need to compete more effectively in a rapidly evolving legal marketplace.
The concentration—which is similar to a major—will prepare students for 21st century legal employment with specialized courses on important legal innovations and technologies, such as automated document assembly, legal project management (LPM), knowledge management and virtual lawyering.
Adapting to change
"Technology is causing dramatic upheaval in the legal industry," said Suffolk Law Professor Andrew Perlman, director of Suffolk Law's Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation. "The new concentration is designed to help students adapt to those seismic changes so that they can more effectively compete in the new legal marketplace."
In addition to taking courses in LPM, automated document assembly and 21st century lawyering, all students must complete a three-credit internship at a company or law firm that employs innovative approaches in the delivery of legal and law-related services. Students also must attend six hours of seminars and programs by leading experts in the field and complete four electives, many of which will be offered jointly with Suffolk's Sawyer Business School.
"We have to get students thinking about how to deliver legal services more efficiently and how to create new niches in the legal industry," Perlman said. "Law schools typically do not offer this kind of instruction, but legal education needs to respond to new realities."
Giving students an edge
Perlman believes that the new concentration will help students to succeed in both traditional and non-traditional legal employment.
"New law-related jobs are emerging in which having a JD is a distinct advantage, such as jobs at companies and firms that engage in project management, e-discovery and automated document assembly." said Perlman. "We're trying to give students an edge when seeking these kinds of positions as well as more traditional jobs."
The new concentration will begin enrolling students immediately. Suffolk Law also offers concentrations in Business Law and Financial Services, Health and Biomedical Law, Intellectual Property, International Law, Labor and Employment Law, and Trial and Appellate Advocacy.
In its brief existence, Suffolk's Institute on Law Practice Technology and Innovation has:
- Sponsored programs
- Created a mobile web app that enables lawyers to find Massachusetts legal resources more easily
- Applied for – and won – an opportunity to use Google Glass in the classroom
- Partnered with a corporate counsel at Kia Motors America on a legal technology audit designed to test the technological competence of outside counsel
Earlier this year, the ABA's eLawyering Task Force ranked Suffolk Law one of the top 13 schools for law practice technology.
Perlman emphasized that these accomplishments reflect the Law School's deep commitment to an increasingly important area of study and education. He said that Suffolk Law School Dean Camille Nelson has been "very forward thinking on these issues" and that the Law School's initiatives "would not have been possible without her leadership." Perlman also praised his colleagues for their embrace of the new developments, noting that the Law School's faculty approved the new concentration unanimously.

It's been about timely big plays and it's been about consistency, and the Hendersonville Bearcats are on their way to the 1-A state semifinal three-game series because they have employed the perfect combination of those two elements in each game of the postseason.
Once again led by an electric multiple-run homer by Justin Sparks to get the HHS offense going, the No. 1-seeded Bearcats handed Lincoln Charter its third loss of the season, 7-3, Tuesday afternoon at The Den.
Sam Linn improved to 14-0 as he gave up the Eagles' three runs over six innings on eight hits, walked two and struck out eight. Christian Hilty took the loss for Lincoln.
"He did it again," said HHS head coach Mark Cook with a grin, of Sparks. "We got big hits when we needed them. Justin hit the ball very well; so did Henry Clements. Shawn (Rogers) beating the ball out to first base (in the third) was a big play for us."
Nathaniel Scoggins (1-for-2, two RBIs, walk) broke the early tie in the third inning when his single to center field sent Hilty home from second base for the 2-1 Eagle lead, but Sparks (2-for-4) responded with a three-run home run in the bottom of the third to put the Bearcats on top for the first time, where they would stay.
That home run got the Hendersonville offense going as it would score two more runs before the third was said and done. Clements (2-for-4) tripled to right field and then scored on a Rogers' blooper down the first base line with which the speedy Rogers (3-for-4, two RBIs) was credited a base hit.
Troy Carter (2-for-3) scored Rogers three batters later with a single to center to take the Bearcats from a 2-1 deficit to a 6-2 lead.
Linn and the HHS defense kept the Eagles at bay in the fourth but gave up their final run in the fifth with Nathaniel Scoggins' sacrifice fly that scored Hunter Dodson (2-for-4).
"Lincoln Charter is a very good team — a good hitting team, good fielding team. They worked Sam a lot and got him high up in his pitch count," Cook said.
Lincoln ace David Scoggins, who went 3-for-3 with a walk, took the mound in the bottom of the fifth after Hilty walked Linn with no outs. The lefty Scoggins struck out the next three straight batters.
Scoggins walked Derrik Doyle (0-for-1, two walks) before Rogers tabbed his second RBI and scored Doyle on a hard grounder to left.
Noah Linhart closed things up on the mound for the Bearcats, who are now 20-5 on the season. The Eagles closed their season at 20-3.
"We got knocked out in the first round last year, but we accomplished our goal this year and put ourselves on the baseball map," said Lincoln coach Mike Hartshorne. "Hendersonville is a very good baseball team for having a junior and sophomore, Linn and Sparks, run things, and Doyle at third base. I've researched these guys and they're exactly what they are on paper."
For back-to-back years the Bearcats will not only advance to the state semifinals, but will face the same team, South Stanly, that put them out of the playoffs last year in two games. Top seed Stanly (26-4) defeated East Surry 2-1 on Tuesday.
Game 1 will be Thursday at The Den.
"This is just great. These kids have put in the work, every day, to get here and they see the big picture. We want to be able to go all the way," Cook said. "With this series coming up we will play every pitch, every inning."
Hendersonville advances to 1-A state semifinal series
It's been about timely big plays and it's been about consistency, and the Hendersonville Bearcats are on their way to the 1-A state semifinal three-game series because they have employed the perfect combination of those two elements in each game of the postseason.
