U.S. 70 was more parking lot than highway for about two hours Tuesday morning in western Havelock after a series of four crashes sent three people to the hospital and caused a massive rush-hour traffic jam.
U.S. 70 was more parking lot than highway for about two hours Tuesday morning in western Havelock after a series of four crashes sent three people to the hospital and caused a massive rush-hour traffic jam.
�Seven o�clock in the morning in that area is always heavily traveled,� Havelock Police Chief G. Wayne Cyrus said of U.S. 70. �There�s always a lot of traffic there.�
�It�s a matter of being cautious as operators and of being aware of what�s going on around them,� Cyrus said. �There were several factors that were the likely cause of all four of the accidents. You get those who likely want to see what�s going on and they fail to pay attention. Until we get the full report on those other crashes, we just don�t know.�
The first crash happened on U.S. 70 at the Walmart traffic signal shortly before 7 a.m. Cyrus said Jerry Warren, 43, of Pikeville, was driving a tractor trailer east when the light turned yellow. Cyrus said Warren explained that he was not able to stop in time because of the speed and weight of the truck.
Cyrus said Warren collided with Travis Lewis Jr., 52, of New Bern, who was attempting to pull his 2003 Ford from the service road onto U.S. 70. Cyrus said Lewis indicated that his traffic signal had turned green, and a pair of witnesses gave conflicting accounts as to the status of the light at the time of the crash.
Lewis was transported to CarolinaEast Medical Center in New Bern where he was treated and released, according to a hospital spokeswoman.
Cyrus said police were investigating and no charges have yet to be filed.
As police worked to clear that wreck, another crash happened further west on U.S. 70 between Tucker Creek and MacDonald Downs at 7:18 a.m. It involved five cars and sent two people to the hospital.
All five vehicles were travelling east in the left lane when the chain reaction crash happened.
Chelsea Nicole Flohe, 34, of New Bern, was driving a 2008 Land Rover when she stopped for traffic in front of her. Behind her was Joseph Lee Rosalez, 29, of New Bern, driving a 2012 GMC, then Kevin Lloyd Jenn, 55, of New Bern, driving a 2006 Honda, and Naomi Lynn Bearden, 36, driving a 2012 Cadillac. As the four drivers were slowing to a stop, a fifth car, a 2003 Saturn driven by Jonathan C. Doskocil, 26, of New Bern, failed to stop and struck the Bearden vehicle, Cyrus said.
�Mr. Doskocil had failed to recognize that the vehicles in front of him were slowing and stopping and he was unable to stop before striking vehicle number four in the rear, which pushed that vehicle into vehicle number three, which pushed that vehicle into vehicle two, which pushed vehicle two into vehicle number one,� Cyrus said. �It was a chain-reaction type of accident.�
Two people were taken to CarolinaEast, including a 2-year-old juvenile from the Bearden car, but their injuries were not life-threatening.
Cyrus said the wreck is still under investigation and no charges have been filed yet.
While traffic was backed up for the five-car wreck, there was another wreck on U.S. 70 in the westbound lane near the entrance to the MacDonald Downs subdivision at 7:44 a.m. It involved a 2008 Chevrolet operated by Christopher Bilby, 29, of Jacksonville, and a 2010 Hyundai driven by Kevin Nkeng Alembong, 32, of New Bern, Cyrus said.
In that crash, Bilby failed to recognize that the Alembong vehicle was slowing and stopping for the traffic ahead of it. Bilby ran into the back of the Alembong car, Cyrus said. That wreck had no injuries and minor damage, and is still under investigation.
A fourth wreck happened at 8:38 a.m. near the intersection of Hickman Hill Loop Road and U.S. 70 East. In that wreck, Shannon Horst O�Conner, 34, of Havelock, driving a 2011 Toyota, struck a 2003 Lincoln driven by Micah David Hickman, 25, of Havelock.
Cyrus said O�Conner was turning left from Pine Grove Road onto U.S. 70 East, as Hickman was turning right off Hickman Hill Loop Road heading east as well. He said O�Connor changed lanes without realizing Hickman was there, striking his car in the left side.
Cyrus said no one was injured with only minor damage to the cars.
All the crashes caused a large backup of rush-hour traffic on U.S. 70 East for about two hours. At one point, vehicles backed up to near Stately Pines.
The service road in front of the Tucker Creek subdivision also backed up as drivers tried to find a quicker way around the delays on the highway. But those who thought they were in for a shorter ride ran into a slew of vehicles driven by parents who were dropping their children off for classes at Tucker Creek Middle School.
All this occurred as Marines and employees at Cherry Point were returning to work after the three-day Labor Day holiday weekend.
�It did create some issues for us as far as traffic,� Cyrus said. �We had several factors that contributed to the amount of traffic. Any morning we have significant traffic in that area with employees and military trying to get to work on the base. You�ve also got motorists who travel through Havelock or into Havelock on their way to work. You have parents trying to transport their children to school at Tucker Creek. You have residents of Tucker Creek, both military and civilian, trying to get to work at that time of the morning. Plus we were coming off of a long holiday weekend.�

CHARLESTON, South Carolina (Reuters) - The first female graduate of The Citadel military college said on Saturday she will run in the Republican primary against South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, who is one of several Republican incumbents facing challenges from the more conservative wing of the party.
Nancy Mace, the first woman to graduate from the previously all-male military college in 1999, announced her candidacy at a local Republican Party meeting in Goose Creek, South Carolina.
Graham, who is seeking his third term in 2014, already has one primary challenger in businessman Richard Cash, and political analysts said there could be more. Graham has a campaign war chest of more than $6 million.
He has been criticized by conservatives for supporting immigration reform and compromising with Democrats on some other issues, though overall he has a conservative voting record.
"There are powerful forces in Washington that consider individual liberty pass and the Constitution a dead letter. I believe our state desperately needs new leadership," Mace said in announcing her bid.
Mace is the daughter of a former Citadel commandant, retired U.S. Army Brigadier General Emory Mace. She is the author of "In the Company of Men: A Woman at The Citadel."
Several Republican senators up for election could face challenges from the political right. The Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, has a primary opponent backed by the Tea Party movement, which seeks deep cuts in U.S. government programs.
The sparring within the party led to the loss of at least one U.S. Senate seat in the 2012 election, when a Tea Party-backed challenger defeated incumbent Republican Richard Lugar in Indiana, only to lose to a Democrat in the general election.

LONDON, (Reuters) – When Roger Federer hangs up his rackets his sublime artistry will be his lasting legacy but yesterday's win over Juan Martin del Potro at the ATP World Tour Finals showed when the chips are down he can also fight like an alley cat.
For most of yesterday's Group B shootout for the right to play Rafa Nadal in the semi-finals, the 17-times grand slam champion was heading for the exit but the Swiss refused to budge under the Argentine's brutal power and clawed out a thrilling 4-6 7-6(2) 7-5 win.
It has not been a vintage season for Federer, who has dropped to world number seven, but he is ending it on something of a high and insists he will come out swinging when he faces world number one Nadal for a place in the final.
"I feel very happy and very upbeat," Federer, who was behind all the way against del Potro until 6-5 in the deciding set, told reporters. "I'll give it one more big shot here tomorrow and hopefully I'll make it to the finals."
Federer's enthralling victory over del Potro sealed the runners-up spot in Group B behind Novak Djokovic who will face Federer's compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka in what could be a landmark day for Switzerland.
Wawrinka would have enjoyed the sight of Djokovic grafting for more than two hours late yesterday to beat Richard Gasquet 7-6(6) 4-6 6-3 in a dead rubber, albeit one that earned the Serb another $142,000, 200 ranking points and extended his winning streak to 20 matches.
Federer, who has won only two of his last nine matches against Nadal, will have to go up a notch after a display of wild fluctuations against del Potro, an opponent to whom he had lost three times in a row before a confidence-boosting victory at last week's Paris Masters.
An error-strewn first set saw him go 5-1 down and he always seemed to be fighting himself as well as his opponent before his class finally shone through.
"There was a lot of coming from behind, trying to get back into the match, and it was amazing that I was able to pull it off," a delighted Federer said.
"I could never play free-flowing tennis. I fought hard, maybe got a bit lucky at times."
The 32-year-old Swiss seemed to sacrifice substance for style as he casually lost serve twice in the opening set before an exhilarating comeback fell just short of repairing the damage.
He seemed poised to get back to 5-5 but del Potro twice found huge first serves to save break points before pocketing the opening set.
Six-times former champion Federer had only once fallen in the round-robin phase of the season-ending event in 11 previous appearances and never since it switched to its spectacular London setting in 2009.
He found himself a break down in the second set too but reeled off 12 consecutive points as the pendulum swung his way. He then played a majestic tiebreak to level.
Inexplicably, Federer dipped again at the start of the deciding set when a netted forehand gave del Potro a 2-0 lead.
"I was really getting angry at myself, thinking how I could just play a loose game, why is this happening? I'm trying to focus so hard for it not to happen, and it did," Federer said.
However, he channelled his anger into some forceful tennis to put del Potro on the defensive and broke back when the Argentine's erratic forehand malfunctioned in the fifth game.
Some of the tennis was scrappy but the sell-out crowd roared its approval at 4-4 when del Potro produced an incredible lob played between his legs and Federer replied with a smash on the run over his shoulder before finishing the point with a whipped forehand winner.
It set the stage for a thrilling finale to the match which had the atmosphere of a Davis Cup tie with Swiss cowbells jingling around the stands and chants of "Roger" ringing out.
A cool Federer served to stay in the match at 4-5 and then pounced to gain the decisive break for 6-5.
Even then del Potro looked like forcing a deciding set tiebreak but Federer would not be denied and belted down his 10th ace to complete a remarkable victory.
"I don't get a day off, I've got to back it up and be ready to go again tomorrow," Federer said.
"I'll try to make his (Nadal's) life a bit difficult."
Del Potro was left to rue a match that got away but was encouraged by his return to the top five after some injury-plagued years since winning the 2009 U.S. Open.
"I think I'm doing great matches against the top guys," said 25-year-old del Potro, who has posted wins against Nadal, Djokovic, Andy Murray and Federer this year.
"I think I am the only player who beat all of them in this season, which means something for me."

TIMONIUM, MARYLAND -- I had received a good number of laser removal treatments from Monarch and was pleased with the fact that my tattoo was finally showing signs of removal. I was told that I only had a few treatments left and that I was that much closer to having it removed. I had been receiving treatment at the Timonium location and went faithfully every 6 to 8 weeks which cost me thousands of dollars. My tattoo wasn't that big and it's located on my ankle. Well, I went in for another treatment and it was the worst experience in my life. I left there in so much pain. I couldn't even walk by the end of the day. I had severe purple, reddish blistering initially.
It was swollen and red all around the tattoo area and up part of my cafe. The blistered area had black spots here and there on it. Parts of the blister would bleed, did I mention that I could not walk. My leg hurt so bad! I called Monarch and asked if this was normal and they said to give it a day or so that they had increased the power of the laser and that could be why it's so painful. It just didn't seem normal. I had gone to the hospital and they said I had been burned by the laser and that the laser was placed to close to my skin. They had given me cream to place the area told me to be sure to keep it wrapped so no infection set in.
I followed up with Monarch and went in for them to check out the area. They apologized and told me that the girl who gave me my treatment did in fact place the laser too close to my skin. They also placed some pretty expensive burn cream on my leg to help with scarring. Once the blisters started to come off I was left with an area of raw meat. I went to see a burn doctor who had giving me a special burn wrap to wear on my leg to help with scarring. Needless to say after all that I still have some of the tattoo there and scarring on my leg. I would have thought for sure that with the way my leg was burned that the tattoo would be completely gone.
My god the entire area was a slab of raw meat. It was absolutely horrible and I have a ton of pictures to show. Words do no justice. If I could find a way to post my pictures of my leg then everyone could see what I was talking about and went through. I paid thousands of dollars to Monarch to have my tattoo removed and trusted that they would take care of me. They didn't even offer to refund any of my money. How heartless is that?!
I'm sorry but I will never give them a good referral and in fact when someone mentions possible going to Monarch I tell them all about my experience and then show them my pictures. I hope this doesn't happen to anyone else. Also, if anyone knows how I can post my pictures please let me know. I would love to place them on here so everyone can see what I'm talking about.
KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- My wife had her procedure in the summer of 2011. After mothering 4 children she was quite depleted up front and wanted this for herself. She used a Dr. through Monarch Med Spa near King of Prussia and they supposedly went over all the possible complications and results and she was forced to sign a form saying she can't give any bad feedback about her experience. Well I didn't sign anything and people need to know what can go wrong. She chose silicone implants.
The doc prefers to go in just under the nipple, not under the breast, which my wife preferred but wasn't told at all about the complication that followed. The scar under the nipple can somehow grow and attach the whole way into the implant area so that when her muscles tense at all her nipple bottom pulls/sucks in like an invisible finger is poking the tissue. Not right. The forewarned "encapsulation" of tissue around the implant did happen and causes the area to be harder than desired and didn't allow the implant to lower as it was supposed to. This causes the nipple to be lower and not appear quite right.
We did all the physical therapy we were instructed to do. Guys, you have to help and this isn't fun or sexy at all pushing and pressing hard in certain ways as the tissue heals to help prevent scar tissue build up and proper setting. It was quite a turn off to have to man handle the new breasts and cause my wife much pain and discomfort, several times daily.
We went back with complaints and the doc went in for a little outpatient surgery the next week to try to clean up the scar tissue that pulls the nipple in. The office did this free of charge to try to get us to be satisfied customers. I took off work to take her for the procedure where he made another incision under the original and pulled out much scar strand and cut off. Weeks later the nipple still inverts, pulls in with muscle contraction only slightly less and now can you not only feel the original scar (like a thin shoelace stuck under the flat scar) but now there are two.
He says this is super rare to happen and he's only ever had this happen once or twice ever depending on how different bodies heal. I don't feel this way at all. I feel for $8000 there should be no complaints or flaws. I feel he didn't do something right and am sure they did not go over this possible complication.
KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- Monarch med spa is the worst service. I went in for a consult and was getting my knee area don't and inner thighs. Never had a problem with my upper back legs or area below buttocks but dr said I need fat taken out of my what they called bananas. She said she would give me a better deal, yes that she did. I paid $8000.
I explained to her I like the look of my buttocks and I don't think its bad but she insisted I needed some help so her being the expert I listened. I get the surgery go back for my 6 week check and expressed to her that I was not happy with the lump of skin bellow my buttocks. They tell me it will go away it's swollen. I believe them. I wait 2 months it's still there.
I go back with the same complaint and the nurse tells me the dr who did my surgery is no longer there and then they tell me she took out too much and the only thing that can be done is to go in and redo it and it won't guarantee correction. The only guarantee correction would be to surgically remove the skin which will scar for life. Well I lost my life. Then they said they would redo it for free if I would pay for another area to be done, like my abs. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I said "let me understand this, you mess up and you want me to get another area done at a place that messed up." I couldn't believe it. So I had to pay every month for their mistake.
I had to pay the credit off. Now thanked paid off I have to pay another plastic surgeon to remove the skin and cause scarring for life. Now keep in mind I wouldn't be getting it done if it wasn't so noticeable through jeans and tights. And by the way I couldn't do a thing because they kept telling me it will go down, it was swollen and by the time I realized it wasn't swollen and it wasn't going down the statue was done.
So need I say they knew what they were doing as far as running the state out and I couldn't bring a suit on them. But any good business would have wanted to fix the situation. Need I say anymore. Whatever you do don't use Monarch med spa. They don't know what they're doing.
KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- If you are going to pay money to treat yourself to a cosmetic procedure, you should enjoy the experience and feel that the people you are getting your treatment from are looking out for your best interest. Therefore, do not go to Monarch Med Spa. They are money hungry scam artists. They will no do what they say they will do. And, if you really have an emergency and cannot make an appointment... prepare to pay $75. Even in your emergency landed you in the ER.
Technicians: some are very unfriendly and when your having a procedure like laser hair removal, why should you feel uncomfortable? Staff: lack of professionalism, unkind, and enjoy fighting with the customers. Client: victim of poor customer service and poorer
PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- I had my procedures done on August 15th 2008 and August 26 2008. I had smart lipo with vaser done on my upper and lower abs, bra fat area, upper back, arms, and arm pit area. First of all, I am STILL wearing a garment on my stomach. This is true liposuction. Don't be fooled by the advertisement of being non-invasive. It is very invasive. I couldn't move hardly for up to a week after my surgery. Using my stomach to lift myself out of bed was out of the question. Raising my arms to put on shirts was a tedious and painful process. Even weeks and weeks later, I was not able to lift my arms straight up or do any kind of rigorous exercise using my stomach muscles.
The appearance of my stomach is lumpy till this day! I did lose fat, but after 12000 dollars, it was not worth the poor results I received. Hardly any fat was removed from my back and arms. Therefore, there has been no change in their appearance. Other than that I have scars all over this size of cigarette burns in my skin!!! I don't recommend this surgery at all. It only seems to be effective on the lower chin from the observations I have made of others as well.
It is a very long healing process. The side of my stomach still feel weird four months later and all my fat is not gone. I could handle the money, pain, and scars if there were reasonable results... This procedure was unsatisfactory and I am an "ideal" candidate - 30 years old, healthy, and 10-15 pounds overweight.
KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- I went to Monarch Med Spa for spider vein removal from November 2006- April 2007. It is a 3 treatment process with 8 weeks in between each treatment. The first session was great. The nurse took her time explaining the procedure to me. She was very thorough when performing the actual treatment (about 45 minutes time). I did not see results right away, which is typical, but was looking forward to the results after everything was done and over with. My second treatment was terrible. I had a different nurse (even though I requested the same from my first appointment).
She treated me as if I was interrupting her personal time and it was a hassle for me to be there. She missed spots (I kept pointing this out to her) and kept having issues with calibrating the laser. The treatment lasted about 10 minutes. Again I went home, waited a few days and saw absolutely no change. With only one treatment to go and $1000 in the hole, I was determined to make this work. Before my 3rd and final session started, I complained about how I was treated the second time around. They seemed unhappy seeing me unhappy (or so I thought). I had a new nurse come in and perform the final procedure.
She took her time and went over the same problem areas about 2-3 times (which I have now learned is not correct). My legs were red and sore when I left. I thought it was a reaction from receiving a very strong treatment. By dinner time, I couldn't walk and my feet and ankles were swollen. I called the Med-Spa and they told me to put my feet up. The next morning I woke up and my legs were covered in huge blisters and a heat rash. Everything was painful, from taking a shower to getting dressed. When my feet were not elevated, they throbbed. I called again and they told me to come in.
I saw a doctor and the nurse that did the shoddy job my second time around. Their response was "we have never seen this before" and "can we take some pictures?". They took several photographs of my legs in their horrible looking state... which I thought was strange since I asked to see before and after photos of previous patients prior to my treatment and they responded with "No. That would violate HIPPPA policies". In the long run, I had to use some sort of ointment that they gave me for around 5 weeks.
The blisters and the rash did not heal for three months (and it was summer time) and the itching was positively unbearable. I was lucky enough to not have any scarring. If your going to get this done, go to a dermatologist that actually knows what their doing. Please learn from my mistake.
KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- Subject: Refusal to Refund for Pre-paid services, that were not used. The Advertisement was to get laser tattoo removal 50% off, so I purchased 10 sessions @ 125.00 each paid in CASH. Total $1250.00. I received 6 treatment's. I asked for a refund for the other 4 sessions @ $125.00 per session, because I do not require further treatment. I was told I could get a refund at the time of my purchase if I did not need all 10. I was then told after requesting a refund, that since I purchased a "package deal", "unknown by me" I would have to pay more for the individual treatments and therefore a refund would not be issued.
After I argued that excuse, then, I was told that a credit for another service, I received, (for which I also paid $585.00 CASH), would be deducted from the refund. I offered to send my receipt for this additional service they claim I did not pay for, and they declined. The next response I received was that they checked there "books", and could not locate a receipt for the additional service, that I claimed I pad CASH for, and therefore, if their books do not indicate the CASH purchase "their books are correct", and I somehow forget handing someone $585.00.
The sales rep also stated she e-mailed me a explanation that broke down everything to me, I asked her to re-send it several times and still have not received it to date. E-mail is a beautiful thing I have them all, and I will pursue this at any cost, there is now &500.00 owed to me. It is a matter of principle at this point. They should be ashamed of themselves, and they should have handled the situation in a professional manner. Perhaps an audit is in order for the CASH purchases they received from consumers such as myself, as they neglect to have record of such? I surely keep all of my records in proper order.
Paula C.
I have read your review of Sona Medspa and I wanted to respond to your frustrations. Sona Medspa in Grapevine does NOT do Laser Tattoo Removal and they never have. Again, I apologize for your frustrations just know that we do not provide that procedure, so you may have your companies mixed up.
Thank you
Sona Medspa
KING OF PRUSSIA, PENNSYLVANIA -- I purchased treatments from Monarch Med-Spa for which I had to wait 2 months an appointment. The day of my appointment it snowed several inches, the roads were icy and there were many accidents. I live almost 30 miles from Monarch and drive a car which is not good in the snow. I contacted Monarch to reschedule but was informed I would be charged $75 for cancelling, regardless of the weather. They quoted their 24-hr cancellation policy which does not include any flexibility for actual emergencies, weather-related or otherwise.
They fully expect clients to drive from where ever they may be coming from and risk getting into an accident or worse just to come in for a cosmetic appointment. Several times in the past two years they have cancelled my appointments within a few hours of the appointment time due to their scheduling conflicts, but did not compensate me for the inconvenience they caused or the lack of 24-hours notice they gave me. They do not seem to care about their clients; only about the money they can get from them. I have already spent several thousand dollars on treatments but Monarch does not seem interested in keeping customers or treating them fairly.
They will now lose quite a bit of money from other treatments I was going to schedule as well as referrals I will not give out. Their lack of customer service and poor treatment of clients shows just how little they care about their clients, but they would rather charge $75 than keep a long-time client.

He traced prospects for almonds and other nut crops in the state during the recent 2001 Spring Ag Outlook Forum of the California Chapter of the American Society of Farm Managers and Rural Appraisers in Sacramento.
California tree nuts, in general, he said, deserve some mid- to longer-term optimism, although recent large crops make for a dimmer outlook for the near future.
"Our almond trees are more productive today than they were 20 years ago. Average production per acre is about 1,500 pounds now vs. 1,000 pounds before," he said.
He also noted that the large almond crops of more than 800 million pounds in 1999 and 700 million pounds in 2000 fostered precipitous drops in returns. Additional production of new plantings driven by high returns in the mid to late 1990s compounded the decline.
"It takes new trees three to five years to come into bearing, and by the time the farmer gets the economic signals to stop planting, the industry has more acres than it needs."
Bearing acreage in 2000 reached 500,000, and some visionaries say one-billion-pound crops are only a few years off.
Non-bearing acreage is estimated at 100,000, and MacIlvaine said it may be even more. "There's no question we are in a period of rapidly rising supply."
Domestic consumption of almonds, he said, has increased in recent seasons, spurred by sharply lower prices, plus a U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing the Almond Board of California to resume its domestic consumer promotion.
The U.S. population, however, cannot possibly consume the all the almonds, so export sales have risen steadily over the past 15 years to nearly 80 percent today.
As recently as 1997, 75 percent of the exported volume went to Western European developing nations and Japan. New markets and more sales, he said, will rest with the 80 percent of the world population in China, India, and the Middle East, where relatively few people have even seen almonds. Recent spikes in demand in China and India demonstrate the growth potential of Asian markets.
Most almonds bound for China enter, in-shell, at Hong Kong, where they have a 30 percent duty, plus a value-added tax of 17 percent. China's admission to the World Trade Organization would hopefully reduce those charges to a total of about 25 percent, MacIlvaine said.
Mostly shelled product is shipped from Hong Kong elsewhere in China, but a new product, roasted and salted, in-shell Carmels or Nonpareils, has "exploded" in popularity, he said.
All almond shipments to India are in-shell to be shelled out, entirely by hand, and sold as kernels. The California product, he said, has nearly completely replaced traditional supplies from Pakistan and Afghanistan.
"California's advantage is its dominance in world trade in almonds. Although Spain used to be an exporter, it is now a net importer, although it does then compete with us with processed almonds," MacIlvaine said.
Turning to California's 193,000 acres of walnuts, he said acreage has remained relatively flat. The 1999 crop of about 283,000 tons brought prices of about 44 cents per pound, although a smaller crop of about 240,000 tons in 2000 was expected to raise returns to the low 60-cent range.
Exports of walnuts have also been increasing, the current share more than 40 percent, vs. 25 percent in 1980. Chief customers are Spain, Germany, Japan, and Italy, but all are mature markets for walnuts with little indication of growth.
One challenge walnut growers have is China, where, as an example of costs, nursery plants go for about 60 cents apiece in contrast to the $12 to $15 California growers pay.
MacIlvaine, who visited a walnut-producing area of China earlier this year, said walnuts are shelled by hand and separated into 10 different grades for export. "The process looks fairly crude, but the product they are putting out is very attractive."
The nearly 80,000 acres of bearing and 20,000 acres of non-bearing California pistachios, he said, have seen a more modest growth rate than almonds. Instead of new growers getting into pistachios, the expansion has been "internal," or additional acreage planted by existing growers.
Since about 1981, growers have been using verticillium- resistant rootstocks and are planting in the best production areas of the state. Although as little as 30 percent of original trees on susceptible rootstock lived with the fungus, all trees in the resistant plantings survive it.
Prices of pistachios have been flat for the past decade, at around $1 per pound, while growers concentrated on yields to improve returns. so those with above-average yields have managed to stay in business.
In 1997, California benefited from the European Union's decision to ban aflatoxin-tainted Iranian pistachios. But last year's record 147-million-pound California crop posed a marketing challenge, and MacIlvaine said he expects some softening of prices, along with inability to move the crop in a single season.
He said Iran, with its plantings at higher elevations, is subject to weather impacts on production. At the same time, California growers cope with the crop's trait of alternate bearing. These situations, he said, translate to a highly variable world supply.
The industry, he added, needs to do a better job in stimulating exports, and the ability to store the nuts from one season the next will be critical.
California tree nuts, he said, still have good things going for them over the longer term, including health benefits, the ability to improve diet more cost-effectively than meat products, and adaptability for blended into native diets.
Yet California growers with smaller nut acreages, he warned, have not only water and energy challenges but also the need to be more efficient. "People in these industries are going to be successful based on their individual operations."

An unknown nickname for khangaroo located in Berkeley, San Diego, and Vietnam. This species is larger than its fellow peers, thus tending to be stronger and more dominant when it comes to mating. It also has a rich outer appearance due to its intense smoothness. Lastly, its intellect is superior compared those it surrounds due to its personal experiences. This khangaroo attracts mass media and groups of people because they have a fascination with its peculiar yet charming behavior. However, most people do not identify the khangaroo by its nickname since not everyone is able to comprehend the intricacy of the word. It is a wonder to behold to gaze upon the khangaroo, and truly a blessing to feast with it.

Something truly magical happens when our special riders and our horses come together. Therapeutic horseback riding challenges individuals to improve and achieve both physically and mentally. The horse becomes a trusted ally and the rider responds with progress in areas that had been difficult before they rode.
The riders sit up taller, they speak more clearly, their self-confidence increases....the improvements are wide and varied. We have had so many parents tell us that their son/daughter would not do their stretches at home, but that is the first thing they do when they are mounted. Or that their balance, or their upper body strength is sooo much better! But the common denominator for all our riders is that they have so much fun! The children in our program get to do something that most of their friends have only dreamed of---they ride a horse! And they do it very well.
Our riders grow and flourish in our unconventional therapeutic milieu. One Mom stood at the rail in tears as she heard her 11 year old daughter say; "Walk". This was her daughter's first intelligible word! Or a tactically defensive, doesn't like to touch or be touched, young man that reached out and touched a volunteer. An autistic child that interacted for the first time, participating in a game on horseback. The little girl that tried for 4 years but did not have the courage to participate, but once she finally took the step and found the courage to start riding, her confidence and self esteem grew exponentially. We will showcase different riders periodically so you can see what we mean.

I've been a big fan of FreeBSD since I first acquired 4.4 on 4 CDs. By that point, I had already spent a lot of time in Linux, but I was always put off by its instability and inconsistency. Once I had FreeBSD installed, it felt like a dream. Everything worked the way it was supposed to, and the consistency of its design meant even older documentation would be mostly applicable without having to figure out how my system was different. There is a reason why in the early days of the Internet, a huge portion of servers ran FreeBSD.
But, that was a while ago. Since then, Linux has matured greatly and has garnered a lot of momentum, becoming the dominant Unix platform. FreeBSD certainly hasn't stood still, however. The FreeBSD team has kept current with hardware support, new features, and a modern, performant design.

Jim Cramer is eagerly awaiting the third-quarter earnings season, which begins Tuesday with a report from aluminum maker Alcoa.
Being as aluminum is used in many products across many industries, Alcoa is often considered an economic bellwether. In turn, its results typically set the tone not only for the markets, but for all of earnings season.
"While the company's operating surprisingly well, earnings will be hurt by a glut of high cost Chinese aluminum," Cramer said. "The Chinese don't want to shut down their dirty, polluting, expensive plants because it would involve huge layoffs. But they sell aluminum well below cost and it kills all of the other producers."
Nevertheless, the "Mad Money" host noted Alcoa sells into "some very hot markets," such as the aerospace and automobile industries. It also sells to the construction industry, which has been struggling.
"So without big construction and with huge exposure to the sagging European market, as well as the awful Chinese market, Alcoa's going to be hard pressed to get to the mid-teens, where I think it would be if China weren't producing 5 million more tons of aluminum than it needs," Cramer said.
(Read More: Alcoa's Third-Quarter Profit Expected to Fall.)
Meanwhile, restaurant operator Yum! Brands will also deliver its quarterly results Tuesday.
Yum! operates the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant chain, which Cramer noted does a sizable amount of business in China. Being as China's economy has slowed, he worries KFC might not have sold that much chicken. Still, he still likes the stock in the low $60s.
(See: Yum's China Performance Watched.)
On Wednesday, discount retailer Costco Wholesale will announce its earnings results before the opening bell.
The Issaquah, Wash.-based company recently reported better-than-expected September sales at stores open at least a year, helped by higher gasoline prices and stronger dollar. Its same-store sales rose by 6 percent while some analysts expected an increase of 5.7 percent, including the impact of fuel prices, according to published reports.
"Those terrific September numbers … got me thinking that I am too negative about this stock," Cramer said. "But if there's one point I must never stop driving home, it's that owning expensive stocks is risky."
In turn, Cramer recommended investors to be cautious with Costco's stock and consider taking profits.
Grocer Safeway will report earnings on Thursday. To Cramer, this food store's stock is a "falling knife."
"So many people have tried to call the bottom in this stock and all they have is thousands of shopping cart wheel ruts on their backs," Cramer said. "I'm thinking that Safeway will one day be like the checkout line — ten points or less."
When it comes to grocery store stocks, Cramer noted that he prefers Whole Foods Market.
After Thursday's closing bell, Cramer will look for earnings results from JB Hunt Transport Services.
"JB Hunt can move the transport index and the transport index can move the overall market by confirming any advance," Cramer said, adding that unlike Federal Express or United Parcel Service, the U.S.-based trucker is not greatly impacted by economic slowdowns in Asia or Europe.
(Related: FedEx Says Economy Is Worsening, Cuts Outlook.)
JPMorgan Chase, which Cramer currently considers one of the best international banks, will report earnings Friday. Cramer has been critical of CEO Jamie Dimon lately, but still thinks the bank could report an "astonishing number." Its stock has made a huge move higher lately, too, so Cramer recommends investors consider taking profits.
Finally, Wells Fargo will also announce earnings Friday. In Cramer's opinion, Wells Fargo is one of the best domestic banks right now.
"This stock has done nothing of late," Cramer said. "I think it can gallop on the strong number that I'm expecting."
—Reuters contributed to this report
When this story was published, Cramer's charitable trust owned JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo.

The airline industry has changed dramatically since I began flying more than three decades ago. It has become increasingly self-service with the advent of booking tickets online, printing our own boarding passes and even tagging our own bags.
Delta Air Lines is the latest U.S. carrier to test the next self-service function likely to spread in the years to come — automated boarding turnstiles at departure gates. It allows passengers to scan their own boarding passes and proceed down the jetway onto the aircraft without interacting with an airline employee. Delta tested the machines recently in Atlanta and Las Vegas.
The former Continental Airlines, now merged with United , also began testing similar equipment at its hub at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport in previous years. And Lufthansa has been actively using self-service boarding gates for years at airports across Europe.
Delta currently has no plans to expand on the test at this time, company spokesman Morgan Durrant told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. The airline declined to discuss details of the test, or the feedback received from customers using the machines, according to the report.
I've used the machines, when flying with Lufthansa in Europe, and I absolutely love them. With a scan of my boarding pass at the waist-high machine, a barrier retracted into the unit and I could walk right through. I'm a highly tech-savvy traveler and prefer to use automated systems to handle almost every aspect of my experience from booking tickets to scanning my own passport when checking in for an international flight. But will they catch on with everyone?
The machines aren't anything new, really. Similar self-service devices are already in use at train stations and subways all across the U.S. You slide your ticket into a slot, and pass through a turnstile-like gate for entry to the platform. But air travel isn't as commonplace for everyone, so it might take some time for the infrequent flier to get used to the automated change.
While the machines are expensive — Lufthansa reportedly paid between $19,500 to $26,000 for each unit — airlines could possibly benefit from reduced staffing levels and other efficiencies.
Tell us what you think. Would you enjoy self-boarding or do you see it as air travel becoming even less personal?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The offensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs looks a lot like a grade-school game of musical chairs, only with 300-pound behemoths jumping around from spot to spot.
Take second-year pro Zach Fulton. He's been forced to play three different spots along the line due to a litany of injuries this season. And he wasn't even supposed to be a starter.
It's not just along the offensive line, either. The Chiefs have used fullback Spencer Ware as a change-of-pace running back, and wide receivers have lined up all over the field. On defense, guys are moving around so much that it seems as if change is the only constant.
All of which underscores the value of...

BOSTON – Paul Pierce scored 22 points and the Boston Celtics held off a late comeback to beat the Los Angeles Clippers 106-104 on Sunday and improve to 4-0 since losing Rajon Rondo for the season.
The Clippers had cut a five-point deficit to 103-101 on a 3-pointer by Eric Bledsoe with 56 seconds remaining. But Avery Bradley drew an offensive foul on Los Angeles' Jamal Crawford with 26 seconds to go, and Pierce held on to the ball before making a 3-pointer with 2.5 second left to clinch the win.
The teams played without the point guards voted starters in the All-Star game in Houston on Feb. 17 — the Clippers' Chris Paul and Rondo.

ST. JOHN'S, ANTIGUA--(Marketwired - May 15, 2013) - The Honourable Diane Ablonczy, Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas and Consular Affairs), today announced that Canada will assist young people in the Caribbean to gain greater access to post-secondary education. Minister Ablonczy made the announcement today in Antigua on behalf of the Honourable Julian Fantino, Minister of International Cooperation, as part of her seven-day, seven-country tour of the Eastern Caribbean.
"Canada is committed to helping countries in the Caribbean build a more prosperous and integrated community, generate sustainable economic growth and increase opportunities for its citizens," said Minister Ablonczy. "Helping the region's young people develop the high-level skills needed to contribute to the work force is a key step toward reaching those goals."
Canada's engagement in the Americas seeks to work with partners to advance three goals: to increase economic opportunity, strengthen security and institutions, and foster lasting relationships.
The University of West Indies Open Campus will be the main implementing partner of this project. The University of the West Indies serves 16 Caribbean countries and territories. Advances in communication technologies have helped to expand access to post-secondary education, reduce costs in learning resources, and reach learners in remote and rural communities. The project will help increase access to post-secondary education for remote and under-served communities at up to 42 learning sites across the Caribbean using distance education technologies. The ultimate aim of the Strengthening Distance Education in the Caribbean project is to increase employment opportunities of Caribbean citizens and generate economic prosperity.
"The project will support economic growth and increased employment through the development of human capital," said Minister Fantino. "By integrating higher education into the Caribbean, Canada is enhancing the ability of Caribbean countries to address the economic and labour market challenges they face, ultimately helping to lift millions of people out of poverty."
Canada is a leader in promoting economic opportunity in the Americas, and Economic Action Plan 2013 affirms Canada's commitment to international development investments such as access to education for children and youth. The new Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development will maintain the mandate of poverty alleviation, and help the Government of Canada achieve greater efficiency, accountability and focus to continue to improve the lives of people in need around the world.
Minister Ablonczy's visit to the region is part of ongoing efforts to deepen Canada's engagement in the Americas. For more information on Minister Ablonczy's tour of the Eastern Caribbean, please visit the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) website.
Canada Increases Access to Distance Education in Caribbean
Minister Ablonczy announced today Canada's support to the Strengthening Distance Education in the Caribbean project. The total contribution is $19.6 million over five years (2013-2017).
The project will provide technical assistance for new program development and to help build the capacity of the University of the West Indies (UWI) Open Campus. This project will enable the Open Campus to increase access to post-secondary education for remote and under-served communities at up to 42 learning sites across the Caribbean using distance education technologies.
The University of the West Indies was founded in 1948 and serves 16 Caribbean countries and territories: Anguilla; Antigua and Barbuda; The Bahamas; Barbados; Belize; British Virgin Islands; Cayman Islands; Dominica; Grenada; Jamaica; Montserrat; Saint Kitts and Nevis; Saint Lucia; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines; Trinidad and Tobago; and Turks and Caicos.
In August 2008, the University created the Open Campus, based in Barbados, offering courses through distance education to non-campus countries. The University's Open Campus will be the main implementing partner of this project. In 2010, Bermuda joined the UWI family as an associate member.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. – For the second year in a row, Oklahoma Christian University (OC) is the beneficiary of a seven-figure gift from a special couple in Houston, Texas.
This week, OC announced a $1 million gift from Benton and Paula Baugh to serve as startup capital for the university's newly reorganized College of Engineering and Computer Science.
Just last year, the Baughs gave $1.7 million to endow a preaching chair in OC's College of Biblical Studies.
"Our society desperately needs talented, Christian engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists as leaders for tomorrow," said Dr. Byron Newberry, formerly the chair of OC's Graduate School of Engineering who now serves as dean of the College of Engineering and Computer Science. "The generosity of the Baugh family will help grow OC's influence in these fields. Their gift will help us continue to mentor students to see their talents as more than simply a means to a career, but as tools to serve others, much like Benton has done in his life."
Benton is an energy engineer and inventor with 50 years of experience in oilfield and sub-sea systems. He holds more than 100 patents and founded Radoil, Inc. He has previously worked with Newberry, donating patents to OC's ABET-accredited undergraduate programs in computer, electrical and mechanical engineering so faculty and students could develop new solutions to practical problems.
"We are incredibly honored by Benton and Paula's generous hearts for our students and their strong belief in OC's mission," President John deSteiguer said. "Their investment is an exciting challenge for us to pursue an even higher level of excellence in our engineering and computer science programs."
Though the Baughs did not attend Oklahoma Christian, they have fallen in love with the university through an OC trustee who serves as their minister at Memorial Church of Christ in Houston. David Duncan and his wife Barbara are 1989 OC alumni, and their passion for the university rubbed off on the Baughs.
"Ever since they learned about OC through the Duncans, Benton and Paula have been fascinated with this Christian university and its thriving engineering programs," Vice President for Advancement Kent Allen said. "They were very impressed with Byron's leadership, and Benton has even said that if he were starting his career again, he would choose OC. This gift truly speaks to their generous hearts."
The Baughs' gift is one of the most significant donations announced thus far for OC's Thrive campaign, which launched in June. The $30 million campaign is helping fund 30 high-impact, student-focused projects over the next three years.
Oklahoma Christian offers undergraduate programs in more than 60 fields of study, an undergraduate Honors Program, and graduate programs in engineering, accountancy, business administration, ministry, divinity, and theological studies.
The last nine years have featured OC's nine highest total enrollments ever, including a record 2,424 students in 2013-14. Another record enrollment is expected for the 2014-15 academic year, which begins next Monday.

Mobile & Wireless Slideshow: BYOD: What Your IT Service Technicians See
By Don Reisinger | Posted 08-23-2012
IT service technicians who provide bring-your-own-device support for the enterprise are reporting a major upswing in demand over the past six months. But, even as they're seeing increasing demand for BYOD support services, IT technicians are noting that few enterprises are turning to them to address major security loopholes in employee-owned devices. OnForce, which provides on-site tech talent in field services in the cloud, surveyed 500 technology services professionals nationwide at companies with more than 100 employees July 23-24, 2012. The survey is conducted as part of the company's quarterly Confidence Index report, which reflects the opinions of IT field service decision-makers. The Q3 2012 Confidence Index shows that confidence among IT service technicians has slowly risen over the past nine months from a rating of 37 to 45 (50 or above is considered optimistic). This increasing optimism about the current economic climate is a positive sign, although 25 percent of respondents admit that they are uncertain about what next six months will bring. Here, CIO Insight shares key perspectives from the report on how service technicians are viewing enterprise BYOD and the economy.

MARIBOR, Slovenia — Lindsey Vonn beat rival Tina Maze on the Slovenian's home snow and in her best discipline Saturday, earning a surprising victory in a giant slalom and her second win in a week.
Maze still clinched her third giant slalom discipline title by placing second. Maze had a near-perfect first run, but a poor start to the second cost her valuable time and she finished 0.08 seconds behind Vonn.
Vonn proved again she's back to her best after an intestinal illness landed her in the hospital two months ago, managing two good runs in what is traditionally her weakest event to win in 2 minutes, 22.2 seconds.
"In the second run I decided, OK, it's all or nothing, I had to go for it," Vonn said. "It's been a rough year for me in GS, so it's just perfect."
Vonn was third after the first run but overcame several errors to have the fastest time in the second and create a margin that Maze couldn't overcome. She earned her first GS victory since last March and back-to-back wins after taking the downhill last week at Cortina D'Ampezzo.
Vonn took nearly a month off over the holidays to recover from her illness. While her break allowed Maze to build an even bigger lead in the overall standings, Vonn said it's clear she made the right decision.
"A couple of weeks ago, everyone was thinking I was crazy taking this time off," Vonn said. "But I felt my body wasn't ready. Now I am ready."
With her 59th World Cup win overall, she's just three away from equaling Annemarie Moser Proell's record on the women's side.
Austria's Anna Fenninger was third, 0.57 seconds behind Vonn.
Maze's closest rival in the GS, Kathrin Zettel, only managed sixth. Maze is 238 points ahead of Zettel with just two GS races remaining this season.
Maze also extended her lead in the overall standing to 748 points against her closest challenger, Germany's Maria Hoefl-Riesch, who finished fourth. Vonn stands another 66 points back in third, having missed several races while sidelined.
The 29-year-old Maze performed in front of a passionate home crowd and was 0.48 seconds ahead of Vonn after dominating the first run.
However, she ran wide at the start of the second, leaving her 0.13 seconds behind her rival at the first checkpoint. Despite the cheers of the fans urging her on, Maze couldn't make up the time and finished with tears in her eyes.
While the overall World Cup title may be Maze's to lose, Vonn will be a favorite to dominate next month's world championships in Schladming, Austria.

Who knew Tony Abbott was such a dab hand at irony? "Oppositions have a tendency to talk our country down," he told Chris Uhlmann on ABC radio this morning. Well, he would know.
But he's also correct about much of the reaction to the Toyota news, some of it going right over the top by suggesting it will cause a recession.
University of Adelaide's Professor John Spoehr has taken the union movement's claim of 50,000 lost jobs from Holden closing and multiplied it to get "hundreds of thousands" of jobs. Bill Shorten has let the hyperbole run right away with him, claiming "the shockwaves of this economic tsunami are unprecedented".
It's no surprise Shorten has a degree in law, not history or economics.
And then there's Victorian Premier Denis Napthine saying he was extremely disappointed by "the suddenness" of Toyota's decision. Apparently he's of the "Pussy's on the roof and won't come down" school of bad news, if you know the old joke.
Inevitable end
For reasons spelt out in the Productivity Commission's position paper, the end of making cars in a small, expensive market was inevitable. Contrary to the knee-jerk reaction, much of it politically motivated, the PC's cooler heads found "there is no compelling evidence that spillover and multiplier benefits (of ceasing production) exceed the costs of assistance to the industry".
And "decades of transitional assistance have forestalled but not prevented the structural adjustment now being faced by the industry" while "assistance imposes costs on the community and dulls incentives to improve productivity, seek export opportunities, and diversify into other industries".
There is no denying the pain of those in the front line of restructuring, those losing well-paid jobs they've often enjoyed for many years.
There's not much car workers can tell people in the newspaper industry about that.
But the telegenic quality of a worker about to lose his or her job shouldn't cloud the process of weighing the overall impact on the economy.
Doomsday forecasts
Doomsday forecasts tend to make a couple of regular mistakes that are certainly in evidence today.
Firstly, they take no account of the opportunity cost of the subsidised car industry.
The Productivity Commission does. All forms of protectionism mean money that could be spent in other parts of the economy is instead lavished on those protected.
The impact of freeing up that money has to be weighed against the more obvious losses.
Secondly, they inevitably underestimate human ingenuity and intelligence.
It's our ability to adapt that sets us apart, that has put us at the top of the food chain.
Parts suppliers have three years' notice of the need to diversify into other areas of manufacturing.
The smart ones have already been doing that as they could read the writing on the windscreen.
Not all will be able to adapt and diversify. Money and long histories will be lost. But that doesn't add up to a recession.
The government is correct to point out that many thousands of jobs are always being lost and many thousands more are always being created.
New jobs
In some ways, the automotive workers are lucky because they are on the right side of Pascoe's Law of Disaster: "If your house burns down, hope that all the others in your street do too."
There will be retraining packages and special assistance offered that will add up to nine figures – that doesn't happen for the workers in the average small-to-medium company that closes.
The reality is that we don't know what new jobs will be created over the next several years – we never have known, but they've come anyway.
The Doomsday forecasters tend to assume that everything else will remain exactly the same, when it does not.
But fear has always been a good way to sell a story for the tabloid media.
The reality is much more likely to be in line with what I think is the best piece written on the industry in recent years, Peter Hartcher's effort back in May, way back when Opposition Leader Tony Abbott was being quoted as saying "above all else, without a motor industry (this) is not an Australia that makes things any more and is not a first class economy".
Oh well, apparently opposition leaders have a tendency to talk our country down.
Cheaper cars
By the way, a sidelight to the end of manufacturing here would be the possibility of opening up the Australian market to the rich possibilities of grey imports, as New Zealand did when it dropped protecting inefficient motor vehicles.
There are plenty of grey imports occurring at the very top end of the market, but allowing the masses into the game would face a huge lobbying war by car importers, many of whom currently enjoy spectacular margins on their Australian sales.
Compare the price of a BMW or Mercedes here and in their country of origin.
My guess is that the importers' lobbying will be successful again, as it was in killing the previous government's FBT reforms.
