Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Monday July 23rd, 2012 5:21pm
There is a small hole in the World U19 Lacrosse Tournament, and that hole is in the shape of Tiio Adams. Team Canada co-captain Derek Searle described him as arguably the best LSM he ever played with and also the funniest. Canadian goalie Brennan Donville described Tiio as "simply the best". Donville and Searle were supposed to enter Cornell together this September with Adams.
Adams almost certainly would have been a starter for Team Iroquois in Sunday's game with friends too many to count playing on both sides of center. Adams died last January, but Team Iroquois goalie and cousin Trey Adams says with a lump in his throat: "We all know that Tiio's here with us today".
Day 3 of the World Lacrosse Championships started with rain. In the first game, the Czech Republic defeated Wales, 9-7, in a contest that was well played and went down to the wire. Scotland defeated Netherland 9-7 in a similarly close and well-contested match. Finally, Finland scored a minor upset, defeating Germany 10-5. The lacrosse games were relatively close and there was a particular glow in the Finnish community following its win over Germany.
The first marquee game of the day featured Team Canada vs. Team Iroquois. The players on these two teams are well known to each other as virtually all of them play box lacrosse in Canada during the summer. They know each other's strength and weaknesses, their tendencies and vulnerabilities; in many cases they even know their nicknames.
Canada opened the scoring first on a goal by Reilly O'Connor, but Team Iroquois' Seth Oakes responded quickly to make it 1-1. Jesse King, Dan Litner and Brian Cole scored for Canada, and the first quarter ended with Canada up 4-1. Canada continued to roll in the second quarter with Joe French scoring a pair, Litner and O'Connor adding singles and Wes Berg getting his first of the game. With less than 5 seconds remaining in the second quarter Quinn Powless scored a nice screen shot and the first half ended 9-2 for Canada.
This game was expected to be closer than this, and in the third quarter the Iroquois started showing why. Canada and Iroquois traded goals twice, making the score 11-4.
Canada would not score again, but Team Iroquois would. Johnny Powless added his second of the game to make it 11-5 after three quarters.
The Iroquois kept coming. Seth Oakes added another, then Hank Delisle scored, then Randy Staats scored a pair. With six minutes left in the game, Canada led the Iroquois by just two goals. Team Iroquois continued to press but the Team Canada goalie had the lacrosse gods smiling on him, robbing Seth Oakes on the edge of the crease. Canada held on for an 11-9, win but Team Iroquois served notice that it can play world-class lacrosse.
The other key match-up of the day was Team USA vs. Team England. This game was not expected to be close but after the loss to Canada, USA needed a statement game. They got it with a 20-1 win.
Team USA began to make that statement early, scoring three quick goals. The English pushed back, but the Americans were too strong. Stephen Kelly scored a nice goal, and the first quarter ended with USA up 4-0.
Team USA came out even stronger in the second quarter. Steven Pontrello, Michael Tagliaferri and Connor Buczek scored in quick succession to make it 7-0. Buczek scored again, and then Ralph D'Agostino scored a clever goal with his long pole, Joseph Leonard scored and USA led. Matthew Kavanagh scored for USA, and then England's Lewis Curtis sniped one from the top of the crease to cut the USA lead to 10. Gregory Danseglio scores and Kavanagh scored again and the first half ended with Team USA leading Team England 13-1.
Team USA remained equally dominant in the second half and its statement to the other teams in the tournament is coming out loud and clear. Daniel Epp scored, followed by Kyle Keenan and then Michael Tagliaferri. Kyle Keenan scored again, and Brent Armstrong added a single followed by Stephen Kelly. England goalie Michael Connor was superb in net, but the American juggernaut is just too much for the English as the third quarter ended with Team USA up 19-1.
In the fourth quarter, Team USA eased back on the throttle and only scored a single goal. It was a classy gesture and consistent with the spirit of these games. Team USA could have scored another 10 goals if it wanted. At the same time, they showed in the first three quarters that they have the skill and athleticism to play with any team in this tournament.
Based on Sunday's results, Team USA will probably have to play Team Iroquois twice before it gets a chance at Canada again. Sunday's effort showed they are ready for the rematch.
As the day ended, the rain was gone and there was a good vibe among the tournament teams. Team Canada and Team USA have both won, and Team Iroquois played the second half of its game like World Champions. Games in the other divisions were close and penalties were scant. Sunday was about good lacrosse played by athletes who love the game.
And of course let's not forget Tiio Adams. His impact would have been felt during the Canada-Iroquois game, and after the game laughter would have followed him everywhere he went. It was a great day of lacrosse in Turku, Finland, and Trey Adams was right; Tiio was here with us Sunday.

We may be headed into a new year, but Chris Thompson, mining analyst with Raymond James, expects more of the same in the precious metals prices: volatility. In this Mining Report interview, he advises investors to play that volatility. He details why-despite its higher royalty tax-Mexico remains a silver powerhouse, and which companies will feel the royalty pinch most.
The Mining Report: Your research reports make it clear that mine operating costs are creeping up. For investors, which should be the bigger concern, lower commodity prices or climbing operating costs?
Chris Thompson: Both are a concern, but right now operating margins are an investor's biggest concern. For producers, volatility in the metal prices has led to rapidly changing operating margins. Companies are demonstrating their ability to reduce costs, but how far they need to reduce these costs will be determined by the commodity price.
TMR: Do you have a threshold for operating margins; a minimum that you want to see?
CT: It depends on the metal price forecast, but we're happiest with a 50%+ operating margin on the company's total cash cost.
TMR: What are your gold and silver price forecasts for 2014?
CT: We have silver at $25/ounce [$25/oz]. Historically, that is not unrealistic, although it is a significant premium to today's ~$20/oz price. Our gold forecast is $1,400/oz.
TMR: Do you calculate the correlation of equities to the daily spot price?
CT: We calculate correlation coefficients for equity valuations and market valuations relative to metal prices. At the moment, pure play precious metal producers, especially the silvers, correlate very well in many respects with the silver price.
TMR: Some miners publish cost-per-ton numbers; others don't. How does the average investor calculate cost-per-ton for silver?
CT: That's a metric I use a lot because from an operating perspective, it's one of the most relevant metrics in the metals space. It's a metric with a lot of components, including mining costs, processing costs and general and administrative costs-all calculated on a per-ton mill basis. Adding those components together gives you a cost-per-ton milled, which is a pure reflection of mine site operating costs per ton.
TMR: What would be a favorable cost-per-ton in today's market environment for a silver mine and a gold mine?
CT: You need to recognize that the operating cost on a per-ton basis is only one part of the story. We need to look at the metal value or the metal that's encased in rock and the company's capacity to beneficiate that metal.
To answer that question, you have to look at grade, as well as metallurgical recoveries. On a cost-per-ton basis, a mine may be a very high cost producer, but it may also be very profitable based on high grade and good metallurgical recoveries.
TMR: Which three or four silver producers in your coverage universe do you expect to outperform your benchmark index?
CT: Out of the 10 silver producers we cover, one have the potential to outperform their peers: First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE:AG).
TMR: What about the 7.5% flat tax on EBITDA [earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization deductions]? How is that affecting Mexican silver producers and how are you factoring it into your calculations?
CT: The net effect is marginal for marginal producers operating marginal mines. Unfortunately, for operators that enjoy healthy operating margins, it has a much more significant effect on their ability to generate cash flow. It's very much a leveler.
Furthermore, it is a deterrent on investment in Mexico. Companies have to, and are, thinking twice about exploring for, building and operating mines in Mexico.
TMR: Nonetheless, you have buy ratings on just about every company that you cover there.
CT: Our buy ratings are based on our metal price forecast for 2014, and many are driven by multiples to cash flow. Remember, our 2014 silver price forecast is $25/oz, a full 25% higher than spot. This is reflected in high target prices relative to current market prices. Our target prices are more a reflection on valuations should silver prices strengthen to ~$25 oz.
TMR: Your most recent report on First Majestic says to expect growth, but that it will be tapered. Can you tell our readers more about that?
CT: We had two reasons. Number one, First Majestic's key growth asset is its Del Toro mine, where it has slowed its ramp-up plan. The company will scale back on processing concentrates in favor of processing oxide material. This a more cost-effective way of increasing production, but it meant we had to bring our production forecast down. The revised ramp-up may be more economical, but it comes with a slightly lower production growth plan in the near term from Del Toro.
Number two, all of First Majestic's mines are in Mexico and the company enjoys one of the higher operating margins relative to its peers. Consequently, our 2014 cash flow estimate for the company was disproportionately affected, relative to peers, by the higher Mexican royalty. According to our calculations, its valuation has been hit hardest among Mexican silver-focused producers.
TMR: Should investors expect more volatility in precious metals prices in early 2014?
CT: Absolutely. The one thing we can expect in 2014 is pretty much what we had this year. We'll be in a very volatile space for quite some time.
My advice to investors is stay with quality; stay with good management teams that have good asset bases in geopolitically secure regions. Stay with companies that can demonstrate what I call "realistic executable organic growth plans."
TMR: In other words, projects already in the pipeline that should be relatively easy to finance and bring into production with high recovery rates and controllable costs.
CT: Absolutely. That is the most risk-averse focus a company can offer investors right now. In an environment where money is tight, there's little chance of projects being financed, but if they carry palatable capital costs, are attractive and the company has the right skill set to advance the assets to production, that's what the company needs to do. And it's what investors need to look for.
TMR: That makes sense for midcap or small companies. For the slightly larger players, is there enough confidence in precious metal prices for them to enter a fresh round of mergers and acquisition [M&A] activity?
CT: Broadly speaking, there's very little confidence for M&A at the moment. However, within management groups that have in-house expertise to deliver on value, there is a much better appetite for M&A.
B2Gold Corp. (NYSEMKT:BTG) continues to demonstrate this. It has made an acquisition a year for the last three years.
TMR: Before we move onto gold, do you have another silver name for our readers?
CT: Pan American Silver Corp. (NASDAQ:PAAS) has the healthiest balance sheet in the sector at the moment. Its Q3/13 financial results surprised a lot of people. The company is one of the higher cost operators in the sector, but it has really managed to deliver on cost reductions at its South American mines.
The growth opportunity for Pan American lies squarely with La Colorada, where the company wants to expand production.
Coeur Mining Inc. (NYSE:CDE) should be looked at together with Pan American. Both are high-cost, senior producers. Each produces more than 20 Moz silver per year. Both have a history of disappointing investors. Judging by recent quarterly performance, both seem to be turning the corner. Both need another quarter or two of positive performance before investors or the investment community begins to give both companies the credibility that they may arguably deserve. If the price moves significantly to the upside, these two companies, being the most leveraged stories in the silver space, should generate significant cash flow growth.
TMR: Let's switch back to B2Gold. Where will its growth come from?
CT: B2Gold has three operation centers: It has the Libertad and Limon mines in Nicaragua, Masabate in the Philippines and Otjikoto in Namibia.
In Nicaragua, we see limited growth from exploitation of a new zone-the Jabali deposit-at the Libertad Mine. This is a satellite deposit within trucking distance of the mill.
Otjikoto is the most important from a near-term production growth and cash-flow growth perspective. The mine is a little less than midway through a two-year construction period that started early this year. We have it commencing production in early 2015 at a rate of ~140 Koz per year.
Having said that, you have also got to watch Masbate, where the company continues to refine and improve on operating efficiencies. In time, we expect to see growth coming from Masbate. But for now, it's all about optimizing the operation at the current production rate.
In short, we see growth across the board, but primarily from Namibia in the near term, and potentially from Masbate later.
TMR: How would you compare B2Gold's management group with its peers in the gold space?
CT: I think B2 Gold offers a number of strengths as far as management is concerned. The management are very good operators. They proved to be good mine builders and explorers at Libertad and Limon. The Jabali deposit was a grassroots exploration discovery.
The exploration news coming out of Otjikoto's new Wolfshag deposit is very interesting in itself. It presents production growth potential over and above what we're modeling right now for Otjikoto.
As far as M&A goes, B2Gold has a very good team. They can tell the good from the bad. They know what to look for. If conditions are good and the price is right, the team can execute. In total, it's a well-rounded management group.
TMR: And one with a solid following among major institutional investors. What's one thing investors in the precious metals space can look forward to in 2014?
CT: More volatility, I'm afraid, if that's something to look forward to.
You need to play the volatility. This is the time for people to buy stock in solid, high-quality names when the silver metal price is $19-$20/oz. If the silver price strengthens to ~$25/oz, which we think it might, it will be time to lighten the load or offload names.
Often, the little stories that can deliver on all fronts are the stories that investors should gravitate to, regardless of the metal price. You have to play the volatility and acquire positions in good, solid companies when metal prices are low. At these metals prices, there's more upside potential than downside risk.
TMR: Chris, thank you for your time and your insights.

E-mail Craig Wilson at email@example.com
As I was flying into Omaha the other day, the farm fields of western Iowa spread out below me. They were spring green, so green that everything else stood out in contrast. And that included the farmhouses and their barns, little outposts of civilization dotting the rolling countryside here and there.
Some of the barns were white. Some red. Many hadn't seen paint in years. But there they stood, classic symbols of American farm life. And now a symbol quickly fading from the landscape.
I grew up in a barn. It's gone now, burned to the ground a few years ago, but the huge white structure on the Wilson farm was as much a home to me as my parents' house. There were years when I'm sure I spent more time in its haymow than I did in my bedroom.
I can still hear the sound of the barn's heavy door as it rolled to the side. I can still smell the hay, bales of it stacked far and high, perfect for hiding from evil brothers. I can still see the sunlight streaming through the solitary window high up in the south-facing peak.
And I can still remember that following an afternoon of building forts and swinging on ropes from outpost to outpost, the air would be so thick and cloudy with dust you could hardly see the "enemy" a few feet away.
The barn's foundation was nothing more than huge stones, its elegantly arched roof held up with rough-hewn beams. And wide planks made up the main floor, which I swept more often than I care to remember.
Like most barns built at the turn of the century — that other century — it was a handsome building. Proud, if you can call a building proud.
But I was reading in the newspaper the other day that barns, iconic rural symbols from Vermont to Wyoming, continue to disappear at an alarming rate. The Iowa Historic Preservation Alliance, for instance, reports that 1,000 barns are lost in that state every year.
Preservation groups have asked Congress for $25 million to take a comprehensive survey of America's barns and promote their history. Few are hopeful.
Barns are not high on Capitol Hill's agenda. Congress authorized the creation of a barn restoration program in 2002 but didn't approve funding. Only a few states, including New York and Vermont, have put money into barn preservation.
But now a group of barn preservationists around the country is trying to help, adding to the good work of the National Trust for Historic Preservation's Barn Again! program.
Proudly dubbing themselves "barn huggers," what they do is get farmers to either sell or donate their structures, then take them down and reassemble them elsewhere.
It's too late to save the barn of my youth, but maybe others will survive now, starting new lives over the hill or down the road or in another state, perhaps. I hope so.
Rod Scott, who coined the term "barn hugger" and is with the Iowa Historic Preservation Alliance, says he can't imagine an America without a barn on the landscape. Neither can I.
Now go out and hug a barn. While the door is still open.

Following the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir drew parallels Sunday between the anti-LGBT rhetoric of radical members of the Republican party and the language of terrorist groups like ISIS.Whether it's Muslim extremism, Christian extremism, Jewish extremism, or Buddhist extremism, the religions are not the problem, the extremism is.
Weir issued his remarks at this weekend's Bonnaroo Festival, where he accepted the Les Paul Spirit Award for Innovation and Achievement. "As we know, there was a massacre in Florida, not far from here," the famous guitarist said towards the end of his acceptance speech. "I'd like to point out that last week, a distinguished representative from the State of Georgia went on the floor of the House of Representatives of our country and started quoting Bible verses in which he basically promoted, or at least rationalized, death to gay people as a reward for the way they were born."
Weir was referring to an incident that took place on the House floor at the end of May, when Georgia Rep. Rick W. Allen reportedly read from Romans 1:18-32 and Revelations 22:18-19. These passages include lines suggesting that LGBT people are "worthy of death." The reading drew a rebuke from the Human Rights Campaign. "At a time when LGBT people face staggering rates of discrimination, harassment and violence, Representative Allen's comments spread hate that does real harm," HRC Senior Vice President of Policy and Political Affairs JoDee Winterhof said in a statement.

text: Creating a culture of safety A rigorous program of safety procedures and protocols have helped the project nearly match last year's safety record, which was one of the safest on record as measured by the Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR), which captures the project's overall safety performance by including even minor injury accidents. These results continued the steady trend of reductions in the average TRIR since the beginning of the project, largely due to the philosophy that the best response to accidents is to prevent them in the first place. An important element of this philosophy is the expectation that all project workers are continuously identifying hazards and helping to remove and/or mitigate them from their work areas. The Chad/Cameroon Development Project follows United States Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines for recording accidents and injuries, even though the project's activities take place outside the United States. The OSHA guidelines provide a comprehensive, consistent, internationally recognized standard by which the project's safety performance can be evaluated. Safety drills EEPCI's Emergency Response Team (ERT) is the first responder for an emergency at the project's operations facility, Komé 5, or the nearby headquarters for drilling operations, Komé Base. The team is led by an Emergency Response Coordinator and Lead Safety Manager and is comprised of a multidisciplinary group of employees, each of whom has responsibilities in addition to emergency response. The team conducts scheduled and unscheduled safety drills nearly every week, often including members of other departments. 1 of 3 — 2 of 3 — 3 of 3 — Previous Slideshow Image Next Slideshow Image When a high-risk activity is about to be carried out, the ERT members are placed on standby. In an active emergency, their job is to retrieve injured personnel and secure the site. To accomplish this, each member has a predefined role and specialized equipment ready to handle any scenario. The drill pictured to the left involves a hypothetical worker who has become unconscious while working at height on a scaffold. No other information is made available to the response team in order to replicate real life conditions, which often have multiple unknown and dynamic factors. During the drill, the rescuers who are working at height must secure themselves using three-point contacts and maintain continuous communication with their leads on the ground. At the conclusion of every drill, in an effort to improve response times and effectiveness, the team meets to discuss their observations and share any findings they may have. Faustin Lartoloum, ERT and Projects Safety Advisor/Safety Coordinator "We hope we never have to respond, but we continue to practice so if we are called upon, we can respond effectively." Arlene Lee, OIMS/Safety Superintendent "I am so proud of this team. In addition to helping protect our workers on site, the ERT members take their knowledge and experience and act as first responders in their own communities, which can save lives. This is particularly important because many communities in Chad don't have first response capabilities." Komé Integrated Leadership Team A key contributor to the project's strong safety record in 2014 is the Komé Integrated Leadership Team, or KILT. The KILT, which was created following an external Operations Integrity Management System (OIMS) assessment conducted on the project in 2012, is a cross-functional working group focused on ensuring that the work is safely and effectively carried out. The OIMS assessment is a cornerstone of ExxonMobil's commitment to responsible, effective and safe operations. The members of the KILT are the highest level managers at EEPCI and its contractors for each focus area, underscoring the importance the project places on safety throughout the organization. The team consists of five subgroups with rotating members who bring a diverse set of experiences and backgrounds to bear on a number of activities, including planned and unplanned site visits across all areas of the project. For example, a site visit at a drilling rig could be conducted by an EMP superintendent and a warehouse supervisor, each utilizing their unique experience and perspective to uncover previously unseen gaps and to offer new insights on safe work practices. The KILT team regularly meets at Loss Prevention Observations (LPO) meetings. Often, the meetings result in new policy to address a gap that the group has uncovered. Findings are recorded and then fed back into biweekly safety meetings, which occur across the project's functional groups. In that way the entire organization can receive feedback promptly to continuously improve safety and work management practices. Maintaining a safe drilling operation As the project transitioned into its extended drilling program, a mandatory stand down of all drilling and well work operations was imposed for a period of 12 days in October. This was in response to several minor injuries and near misses that had occurred over the prior three months. While the overall number of recordable injuries during the year was still low compared to U.S. petroleum industry rates and other relevant indicators, those minor incidents occurred in close succession, triggering the project's decision to halt drilling and well work operations to identify and correct any causal factors. Joe Pace, Well Work Operations Superintendent "From a safety perspective, the Chad/Cameroon Development Project's Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) is one of the best performing business units within ExxonMobil, a company that is the safest in the world in its industry. What we've proactively done with the stand down is make some improvements in our process to make sure we stay that way." During the stand down, the entire well work organization refocused its attention on safety, with all field operations workers undergoing a comprehensive training and a refresher course on their job requirements, duties and procedures. A safety forum for 700 drilling employees was held with remarks from the EEPCI General Manager, Scott Miller, and other managers. A specialized team traveled from ExxonMobil's Houston, Texas, offices for a week-long review of safety culture, protocols and work habits. This team observed how the crews operate, conducted Job Safety Analyses and met with various functional groups to gather additional information. Findings were discussed daily between functional groups at the operations facilities in Komé, the N'Djamena headquarters and ExxonMobil's corporate offices in Houston. While this work unearthed several contributory factors that led to some of the issues, it also revealed many positive findings. EEPCI'S construction department reaches a 10 year safety milestone The project's construction department in Chad has operated for over 10 years without a single Lost Time Injury. The department's activities, which are considered to involve higher risk than many others, include all crane, scaffolding and construction work in the oilfield area. The department, which logged over one million man-hours in 2014, is leading the LK Liquids, Crude Firing and Polymer Pilot projects, all critical for extending and maximizing production. Recordable incident rate The project continued its strong safety performance from 2013, as determined by a measure of all recordable safety incidents per 200,000 working hours. The project's Recordable Incident Rate has for years been well below the average rate of the U. S. petroleum industry as a whole, and outperformed this benchmark by nearly 40% in 2014. The industry benchmark for the U.S. petroleum industry is derived from reports to the American Petroleum Institute by participating companies. The project achieves these results through setting long-term goals, strict adherence to operational integrity protocol and maintaining an employee culture that is highly focused on safety at work and at home. Albert Ateba, EMP Manager, (formerly Lom Pangar Project Safety Manager) Lom Pangar Modification Completed Safely The Lom Pangar Pipeline Modification project was successfully completed without a single Lost Time Injury over 1.2 million man-hours invested. "This effort required almost 350 new people with 14 different nationalities working on various jobs over 45 kilometers of pipeline. Many weren't familiar with our safety culture, procedures and management system, so we had to work hard to get them up to speed on our practices and keep everyone focused on safety. When you're in the field, safety is no longer about theory. Extensive planning, clear goals, regular training, safety meetings and buy-in by project leadership were all important to our success on this front. Even though this was a highly challenging effort, it was worth it because at the end of the day, we achieved a good result." Spotlight: Uniting for safer roads On November 21, COTCO participated in Cameroon's Road Safety Day. The event was developed in partnership with a Cameroon-based working collective, called the Road Safety Work Team, which is made up of some of Cameroon's largest companies, all of whom travel extensively on Cameroon's roads to conduct their business activities. The group meets regularly to share best practices to not only reduce the risk of traffic accidents within their respective fleets, but to help make Cameroon's roads safer for all drivers. The Road Safety Day brought together a number of various representatives of transportation companies, automotive maintenance service providers, vehicle dealers, companies with large fleets of vehicles and transportation trade unions, many of whom hosted or participated in a range of activities such as workshops on safe driving practices in a variety of road, driver and vehicle conditions. Retrofitting grain milling equipment in the Oilfield Development Area A visit to several villages in the OFDA by a senior manager from ExxonMobil resulted in safety improvements to grain milling equipment throughout the area. The equipment, commonly installed through the community compensation program, significantly reduces the burden placed upon female villagers by drastically reducing the time and effort required to prepare food for their families each day. During the visit, it was observed that the exposed belts and rotating machinery, which are commonplace on these kinds of grain mills, presented a potential safety hazard to the machine operators and bystanders. Although no injuries had occurred, the executive identified the potential hazard, the result of a fresh perspective and extensive risk management training that runs throughout the organization. The company subsequently designed and installed safety devices on 10 mills in the OFDA, and they will be incorporated into new community milling devices the project installs. Ebola preparedness The emergence of Ebola in West Africa has prompted the project's Medicine and Occupational Health Departments (MOH) in Chad and Cameroon to take action to protect project employees and the general population. For months, the department has been preparing for the possibility of Ebola in one or both of the host countries. It has worked directly with the Cameroonian and Chadian governments to develop both preventative and responsive measures for infectious diseases, with particular attention on Ebola. Project staff drew upon the experience gained by their colleagues at the ExxonMobil affiliate in Nigeria, who participated in that country's successful response to the outbreak there. The project's recommendations have impacted national policy. For example, Chad now mandates hand washing stations and temperature screening using no-touch thermometers for travelers entering the country through the N'Djamena airport. Cameroon's Ministry of Health congratulated COTCO for its rapid response and strategic engagement with the country's Ebola preparedness effort. In addition, the project's affiliates in Chad and Cameroon each have an Infectious Disease Outbreak Management group (IDOM), comprised of top management from the major departments within each company. The groups meet regularly to create strategies for managing potential infectious diseases. The following are some of the company-wide actions COTCO and EEPCI have taken based on recommendations by the IDOM groups: Conducting mandatory screenings of every traveler entering company facilities and requiring employees who show symptoms of illness to undergo in-depth assessment and travel restrictions Educating all employees about the disease Restricting employees from reporting for work within one month of travelling from an Ebola impacted country, which exceeds the 2 to 21 day incubation period of Ebola Pre-ordering necessary supplies, including medicine and personal protective equipment (PPE), to avoid triggering regional shortages Conducting Ebola preparedness drills at project facilities to ensure proper execution of procedures and effective use of the necessary PPE Malaria prevention The malaria infection rate for non-immune project workers has been dramatically reduced over the years as a result of the project's intensive malaria prevention initiative. As the graph shows, the annual rate has been cut sharply from 11.44 in 2002, the last full year of export pipeline construction. Free health care consultations for workers at project facility clinics are a valued job benefit in Chad and Cameroon, where health care can be difficult to obtain, especially in rural areas. The majority of this care involved illnesses or other health conditions unrelated to the workplace. EEPCI Sports Association: Keeping fit with co-workers Below, EEPCI employees play football against a team organized by another N'Djamena business, in a game organized by the company's Sports Association. The association is organized by and is open to all of the company's employees as a way to encourage a healthy lifestyle and foster productive relationships and a collegial atmosphere within the company. In addition to the football team, the association holds regular gym sessions and is planning on creating a basketball team as well to accommodate the various interests of its members. 1 of 5 — 2 of 5 — 3 of 5 — 4 of 5 — 5 of 5 — Previous Slideshow Image Next Slideshow Image Stephane Daboulaye, Operations Integrity Management Systems Coordinator, EEPCI "Many of our employees work long hours so it is difficult for them to play on outside teams or have enough time to go to the gym, but we can integrate our schedules with the EEPCI Sports Association. This helps us manage our health and provides a great bonding opportunity by bringing together people at all levels of this company, from management to operations to security to cleaners and contractors."

- Yep .. it is a scam. 100% Grade A fraud. Once you provide your bank account
details they do have ways to clean you lock, stock, and sinker! Believe me
.. I work for a bank, and it CAN happen.
Your best bets are to forward it to the local field office of the fbi. Goto
www.fbi.gov and get the email address there -- for example ours is
You may also wish to forward it to abuse@... and
postmaster@... although given that they are registered in Hong

Of course .. it you have a bit of a sprite in you, you may want to play the

- Hello David,
These type of scams, including this one have been around for many,
many years, even for at least the last 15 years on the internet.
They eventually ask for your bank or credit account number. There
are many evil people lurking on the web. Return addresses (headers)
are regularly forged. Email has made it very inexpensive to flood
mailboxes with this stuff. Governments, International law, police
and technology still fail miserably to control it all.
Until recently, most scams were coming from refugee camps in
Nigeria. The good relief workers thought they were doing the people
a favor by providing them access to computers by which to learn new
The most important thing you can do is to ignore the solicitation.
Don't even reply to the email or the webmaster. Just proves you're
alive and you'll get more.
The second most important thing is to have a public and a private
email address. Don't post your private address on forums, including
this list. They are regularly harvested.
Lastly, have a sense of humor. Here http://www.scamorama.com/ is an
awesome collection of scams (you'll find your favorite there) and
incredibly funny stories of people who scam the scammers. The first
time I read a few of the stories I had to stop, the tears in my eyes
from laughter were too much!

East Kantojo
Modern day Kanto this is where the Kantojan Nationals have chosen as their base with Saferon as their capital. Here is where the game starts and is where Elizabeth and James come from.
The training pits (or as they are known as in the modern set games Gyms) are found in the same positions as they are in the originals aside from the Cinnabar gym which is found in Gringay (Gringey City).
The town names are slightly different as they have been renamed over the hundreds of years between the games they are as following Palette (Pallet), Verdinan (Veridian), Pewter, Cerulan (Cerulean), Saferon (Safferon), Lavenden (Lavender), Vermileon (Vermillion), Celadon, Gringay (Gringey), Fushia (Fuchsia).
It has been reduced to just a part of Kanto now but it was an indapendant nation just north of Mt. Moon. It is ruled over by a monarch Queen Rin and her two children Princess Victoria and Prince Riley. They have very close relations to Kantojo with hints towards their future assimilation into the country.
The towns of Cameron are Rota, Cameran, Meco, Anadia, Hokido and Zeland. Cameran is their capital which is where Cameron Palace is which is where the royal family lives.
Seafoam Islands
A string of Islands just south of East Kantojo including Cinnabar Island. They are ruled by a self-appointed king who is vicious and hostile to the natives who have started to leave for new land. Their capital is Cinnabar and the king hints that he wants to join up with Kantojo, the islands do become part of Kanto.
West Kantojo
The seceding land to the West which will become Johto eventually they started the civil war when they felt that Goldone should be the nation's capital as it is much larger. They also felt oppressed by the easterners. They do become a sponsored state of Kantojo called Tohjo and eventually over hundreds of years an indapendant nation called Johto.
The towns are very similar to the are in modern days with only a few changes Birark (New Bark), Grove (Cherrygrove), Violete (Violet), Azalea (Azaelia), Goldone (Goldenrod), Ecruteak, Rikishii, Olivine, Cianwood, Mahogany, Blackthorn and Silverback (Silver)

It's hard to believe it's been four years since we last saw the Spice Girls. Since reuniting for their 2007-2008 world tour, Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh and Sporty haven't been spotted together in one place. That is, until this week. The Girls got together right where it all started – on the staircase of the St. Pancras Renaissance London Hotel, the location where the group filmed the music video for their breakout hit "Wannabe."
The reunion, complete with all five original members – Melanie Brown (Scary), Emma Bunton (Baby), Geri Halliwell (Ginger), Victoria Beckham (Posh) and Melanie Chisholm (Sporty) – was to to celebrate the new musical "Viva Forever," based on the Spice Girls' music. The musical opens in London on Dec. 11.
Rumor has it that the girls are set to perform at the Olympics in London, but nothing official has been released yet. We've still got our fingers crossed, Girls, so please, say you'll be there!

Child support is a court-ordered monthly financial payment a noncustodial parent pays to a custodial parent. Child support is intended to help provide the child with basic needs such as food, clothing and shelter. Noncustodial parents are required to pay child support until the child reaches the age of majority, which in most states is 18 or 19. If a noncustodial parent fails to pay child support, the child can perhaps sue that parent to collect the outstanding amount upon becoming an adult.
Contact child protection services in your state and find out if you are eligible to collect past due support.
Obtain information on how to collect back due child support. In most states, you have to fill out an application that allows child support services to begin collection proceedings. Often, the child services agency will obtain a judgment from the court to garnish a portion of the noncustodial parent's wages and tax returns until the outstanding amount is paid in full.
Have the custodial parent begin collection proceedings on past due child support, if you are unable to bring the claim yourself. If the custodial parent is deceased, you may be able to bring collection proceedings on behalf of the deceased's estate.
Tips & Warnings
- In the majority of states, only the custodial parent can bring a lawsuit to collect past due child support from the noncustodial parent.

Glorifying God, caring for each other,
and serving our community
in the city of Brampton.
Every Sunday
10:00 am and 4:30 pm
We gather to worship God and to fellowship with each other. Worship includes listening to the Bible read and explained, singing, praying and receiving of sacraments, and giving our offerings to God.
1st Sunday each Month
After Morning Service
Once a month, after our morning church service, we gather together to share a meal and to spend time with one another. Afterwards, we meet in groups to spend time in prayer for the church and our community.
First and Third Wednesdays

Studying God's word together is one way in which we grow in faith to God and in fellowship with one another. Twice a month, we meet together in someone's home and study the Bible in a more informal setting.
We believe that there is one God who has always existed in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
God has revealed Himself in the Bible, where we learn what we are to believe concerning Him, and what He requires of us.
