Rurik Nackerud, an instructor in the Graduate School of Education's Curriculum and Instruction Department and doctoral candidate, has been named an Emerging Leader by Phi Delta Kappa International. He is among the 25 recipients that PDK has identified across the US under the age of 40 that demonstrate innovative practices in education. The 2013 Emerging Leaders are hosted at an event in Washington, DC, in December, and will spend two days networking, meeting with education leaders, and talking to policymakers.
Mr. Nackerud's work in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction is helping to advance technology usage and research in preK-12 classrooms. In addition, he is doing doctoral work on games as learning tools—an emerging field in education. This summer he was assigned to the GSE's iPad Research Initiative and helped to distribute and train faculty and students in the use of iPads and iPad minis in preK-12 teacher education classes.
"Through his leadership and his skills with technology, he has impacted not only my research project in a positive way, but also myself—as a professional researcher educator," says Professor Esperanza De La Vega who supervised his work this summer. "Because of Rurik, I find that I take more risks and am willing to try new ways of organizing and using technology in my professional and personal life."
Mr. Nackerud represents a new generation of university instructors who grew up with computers and technology, also known as "digital natives." Because of his familiarity with online games, he was invited to a faculty book club last year to lead a demonstration of multi-player online games and how they could be used for learning. Dr. De La Vega explains, "At one point, I remember turning to Rurik and saying, as my online character failed the task, 'Oh no, I died'." Rurik used that moment to catch our attention with 'Dying is good!' He went on to explain how learning from failure was good and that there was much to learn from digital games and how our brains were given another opportunity to do-over and try again."
The GSE is already benefitting from his work on projects like the iPad Research Initiative. He is a valuable resource for other faculty members and will certainly help contribute to the knowledge base.
Along with a hosted trip to the nation's capitol, the PDK Emerging Leader program will provide Mr. Nackerud opportunities to publish and travel.

WASHINGTON — The cavernous ballroom of the Washington Hilton had the feel of Old Home Week as hundreds of former campaign staff and volunteers for President Obama's reelection bid assembled there Sunday morning, greeting each other with whoops and bear hugs and breaking out into intermittent chants of "Fired up? Ready to go!"
But the gathering, dubbed the Obama Campaign Legacy Conference, aimed to be more than a reunion for the on-the-ground organizers who helped build Obama's grass-roots army.
As Obama took his official oath of office for a second term, top campaign officials exhorted activists to remain committed to their cause.
The vehicle: a new tax-exempt group called Organizing for Action — that will fight for the president's legislative priorities. The group nods to its origins by borrowing the initials of the campaign's formal "Obama for America" title.

A BlankTV Premiere Presentation:
Davey Suicide - "World Wide Suicide"
Artist Bio:
The name, "Suicide" is a constant reminder that unless we kill ourselves, there's no ceiling for what we are capable of." Davey Suicide is ruling the underground by fusing the live aesthetic of an arena rock show into a club setting. The Los Angeles insurgent injects gutter grit and theatrics back into a rock industrial genre that's been salivating for it's next messiah. The band flanked by (Drayven Davidson, Needlz, Niko Gemini & Derek Obscura) distills heavy metal, industrial, and punk into anthems that are as corrosive as they are catchy. Currently, Davey Suicide is supporting their sophomore release, Worldwide Suicide, after spending the past four years extensively touring the US along with their first UK tour on their self titled debut album. This video marks the first video that the band has released since their departure from their former record label in May of 2015.

They're Playing Our Song
The PlaySound.php script (Listing Two) uses PHP to dynamically form an MP3 stream by concatenating shorter MP3 files. The PHP header() function writes out the content-type as MPEG. Then, I start the stream with a short introduction that simply says, "Please enter these four numbers." This is the Intro.mp3 file, which starts the stream.
The script then retrieves the four numbers from the $_SESSION array. The numbers are stored in the array as a single string, so the script pulls the string apart, storing the numbers in a filename array. Then, for each number, the corresponding MP3 file is added to the stream. This is the section where you may want to include some additional words.
Finally, the stream is printed to standard out and, thanks to the content-type header, is interpreted by the browser to be an MP3 file. Naturally, there are many different ways to play audio on the Web. I chose MP3 because it's easy to concatenate separate files due to the fact that there is no header information to be concerned with as there is with .wav files. You may want to experiment with different file types for your own CAPTCHA, perhaps Flash for example.
<?php session_start(); header('Content-type: audio/x-mpeg'); /* put an intro in first */ $thisFile = "Intro.mp3"; $fh = fopen($thisFile, 'r'); $allAudio = fread($fh, filesize($thisFile)); fclose($fh); /* add the numbers to the file */ $str = $_SESSION['captchaAnswer']; /* this works under PHP4, can use str_split() here instead in PHP5 */ $fileName = array(); for ($i = 0; $i < strlen($str); $i++) $fileName[] = substr($str,$i,1); foreach ($fileName as $fileNumer) { $thisFile = $fileNumer . ".mp3"; $fh = fopen($thisFile, 'r'); $allAudio .= fread($fh, filesize($thisFile)); fclose($fh); } /* output the resulting MP3 */ print $allAudio; ?>
The last file, CaptchaSubmit.php (Listing Three) serves to check user input and outputs a simple message to indicate success or failure. CheckAnswer() first checks to see if anything was posted at all and if the PHP session is set. Then, it checks the user posted answer against the challenge initialized in the index.htm file, returning True or False (1 or 0) as is appropriate.
<?php session_start(); header('Content-type: text/html'); // true if correct answer function CheckAnswer() { if (!isset($_POST['userAnswer']) || !isset($_SESSION['captchaAnswer'])) return 0; else if ($_POST['userAnswer'] == $_SESSION['captchaAnswer']) return 1; return 0; } print ""; print $_POST['userAnswer']; if(CheckAnswer()) print " is correct."; else print " is not correct, please go back and try again."; print""; ?>
You will want to replace the lower half of this script, that outputs success or failure, with your own success criteria, probably a redirect back to your blog or other media page.

By Tom Hals
Sept 30 (Reuters) - Comcast Corp is prepared to
bid if it can force a sale of the financially troubled,
regional-sports network that carries the games of the Houston
Astros baseball team and the Houston Rockets, the city's
basketball team, court papers show.
Affiliates of Comcast, which owns NBCUniversal, on Friday
filed for involuntary bankruptcy against Houston Regional Sports
Network LP, and said in court papers the network should be put
up for sale for the benefit of creditors.
Comcast "believes the network's assets have meaningful
value, and would be prepared to make a bid to acquire either the
network (under a plan of reorganization) or substantially all of
its assets," the media conglomerate said in court documents.
Comcast also said that it wanted the court to appoint a
trustee to replace the network's management, which is at a
"complete impasse," according to court documents.
The network's three-member board consists of representatives
of Comcast, the Houston Rockets of the National Basketball
Association and the Houston Astros of Major League Baseball,
according to documents filed by a Comcast affiliate.
The network has been locked in a dispute with cable and
satellite television providers over how much it should receive
per subscriber, which has limited the network's reach.
Comcast, which loaned the network $100 million through an
affiliate, also said it was prepared to provide the financing
necessary to keep the network operating until the bankruptcy
could be resolved.
The Astros called the filing "improper," although the team
had not been paid its media rights fees by the network for the
last three months, according to a Friday press release.
Creditors can put a company into bankruptcy involuntarily if
they can prove the debtor is not paying its bills. The company
generally has about 20 days to respond to the filing.
Creditors of Allied Systems Holding Inc, a major hauler of
cars for auto dealers that was majority owned by private equity
firm Yucaipa Cos, used an involuntary bankruptcy petition to
force the company into Chapter 11 last year.
The case is In Re: Houston Regional Sports Network LP, U.S.
Bankruptcy Court, Southern District of Texas, No. 13-35998

Public lecture examines untold story of Rome's most famous statue
Loyola press release - January 30, 2012
The Loyola University New Orleans Department of Languages and Cultures presents "The Lost Eagle: The Untold Story of the Legionary Eagle on Rome's Most Famous Statue," on Monday, Feb. 6 at 8 p.m. in Nunemaker Auditorium in Monroe Hall. This lecture explores the Prima Porta Augustus, the most widely-recognized marble statue from the Roman Empire, and is free and open to the public.
The Prima Porta Augustus statue depicts Roman emperor Augustus Caesar and features a central scene on his armor in which a bearded barbarian returns the lost eagle standard of a Roman legion to an armored figure. From the time of the statue's discovery in the 19th century, the scholarly consensus was that the eagle depicted on the armor represented one of the standards lost to the Parthian Empire by Roman generals Marcus Licinius Crassus and Mark Antony, and recovered by Augustus in 20 B.C.E.
According to Bridget Buxton, Ph.D., a leading expert on ancient history and Mediterranean archaeology, close analysis of the statue proves that it does not reference the so-called Parthian standards at all. In her illustrated lecture, Buxton will explore the archaeological and historical evidence that proves the Prima Porta statue was commissioned to commemorate another entirely separate event that occurred on the northern frontier many years after the Parthian standards were returned.
Buxton is an assistant professor in the Department of History at the University of Rhode Island. She specializes in underwater archaeology and has worked at underwater sites off the coasts of Turkey and Greece, as well as in the Libyan and Black Seas.
The lecture is co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost, the Classical Studies program and the New Orleans Society of the Archaeological Institute of America.
For more information, contact Loyola professor Connie Rodriguez, Ph.D., at firstname.lastname@example.com.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. (AP) -- A Springfield ordinance that bans people under 18 from commercial tanning beds goes into effect Tuesday.
Aldermen approve the ban in October. The young people can't tan, even if their parents say it's OK. The ordinance doesn't apply to spray tans or tanning beds at private residences.
Springfield's proposal was sponsored by Alderman Sam Cahnman. He says he'll send a copy of the ordinance to all tanning businesses to remind them of the ban.
State law bans children under 14 from tanning at salons and requires parental consent for 14- to 17-year-olds.
Springfield's ban carries a fine of $75 to $750 for first offenses. A second offense in a calendar year is a minimum fine of $250.

–NSBA's 2012 Economic Report indicates one in four small businesses lack necessary capital–
BETHESDA, MD–(Marketwire–February 8, 2013)–According to The Interface Financial Group (IFG), North America's largest alternative funding source for small to medium-sized enterprises, U.S. small businesses are less optimistic than last year about the overall economy. The news is a result of the February 6 release of the 2012 Year-End Economic Report from the National Small Business Association (NSBA).
The report shows that there were modest gains in those small businesses that foresaw U.S. economic expansion, but the majority, 86 percent, continue to believe the U.S. economy will be recessionary or flat during 2013, many projecting no growth in their own businesses. These small business owners see economic uncertainty as their number one challenge and all of them want Congress to reduce the national deficit.
Additionally, 38 percent anticipate their firms will grow in the coming year—the lowest this indicator has been since December 2009. The number of small-businesses projecting employment size decreases in 2013 rose from 12 to 16 percent.
Although lending shows 73 percent of small businesses reporting the ability to garner adequate financing, one in four small businesses lacks necessary capital.
"We have seen this lack of confidence among new invoice factoring clients who finally realize that traditional bank loans are difficult to get these days," said IFG Chairman and Chief Executive Officer George Shapiro. "Our spot factoring services, however, offer business owners an excellent alternative to traditional financing."
IFG's spot factoring provides alternative funding required by a small business to sustain growth during this slower recovery, so they can continue making payroll, purchasing supplies and services, and in some cases, hiring additional staff for sustained business growth.
Unlike a loan spot factoring is the purchase of one single invoice. For example, when using spot factoring for funds, a construction firm can realize a fast turnaround on a single invoice due for the completed stages of a construction project – even within 24 hours. Spot factoring requires no co-signers or fees upfront. IFG has no minimum sales volume requirements, and professional fees are competitive.
IFG does not expect to buy 100 percent of a company's receivables and professional rates are competitive. The program allows choices of invoices to be factored, enabling customers to retain most of their money, to spend the minimum fees, plus guarantee adequate cash flow.
IFG's financing solutions also include: Export Factoring, providing services for companies who export from the United States and Canada; Construction Factoring for contractors; Purchase Order Financing; and Inventory Financing, a solution promoting a company's growth by funding them when they must expand and purchase inventory.

Cee Lo Green, a judge on NBC's top-rated singing competition show "The Voice," was charged on Monday with furnishing a woman with ecstasy at an L.A. restaurant last year.
The 38-year-old, whose real name is Thomas DeCarlo Calloway, pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors declined to file sexual assault charges against Green, citing a lack of evidence.
Dressed in a relatively subdued all-black ensemble, Green, the Grammy-winning singer of the hit "Forget You" and half of the duo Gnarls Barkley, appeared before an L.A. County Superior Court judge Monday afternoon. He was accompanied by his attorney, Blair Berk, who entered his plea and waived his right to a speedy trial.
PHOTOS: Celebrities by The Times
Green is alleged to have put ecstasy in the 33-year-old woman's drink as they dined together at a Wokcano restaurant in July 2012. The woman told authorities she later woke up naked in bed with the singer in her hotel room.
Berk said her client had "consensual relations" with the woman, and called the claims of sexual assault "false and unfounded."
"We are pleased that the Los Angeles County district attorney has completed its investigation," she said Monday.
If found guilty of furnishing a controlled substance, a felony, Green could face up to four years in prison.
"The Voice," which won the Emmy for best reality-competition series, is NBC's highest-rated entertainment program and one of the top shows on television, drawing 13.8 million viewers last week. It has also proved to be a valuable lead-in for other series, like the network's freshman hit, "The Blacklist."
NBC representatives were not immediately available for comment on the case.

Paul Martin has shown skill for periods of time making him worth EVERY cent paid to him.
Martin has also played very poorly at times, resulting in goals against, and very likely losses for the team.
Martin is what he is, and not what many fans want him to be. If he played his game, which meshes will with ONE of the Pens styles, then he's got a spot here. If not.....
My issue with Martin is which guy are you going to get? Can you rely on him come playoffs? In GMRS I trust to do the right thing, whatever that is.

starts a StopWatch
subroutine start_watch (watch, clock, err)
Starts the specified clocks of the specified watches. Any time previously accumulated in the clock is NOT cleared before starting. (Use reset_watch to clear accumulated time.)
One or more watches must be specified. The argument watch can be a single variable of type watchtype (see stopwatch(3)) to start one watch, an array of type watchtype to start several watches, or a variable of type watchgroup (see stopwatch(3)) to start the watches in a group.
The optional argument clock specifies which clocks to start on the specified watch(es). If omitted, the current default clocks (see option_stopwatch(3)) are started. If present, clock must be a character string containing 'cpu', 'user', 'sys', or 'wall', or an array of such character strings.
If present, the optional intent OUT integer argument err returns a status code. The code is the sum of the values listed below.
An error message will be printed to a specified I/O unit (unit 6 by default) if print_errors is TRUE (default is TRUE). The error message contains more detail about the cause of the error than can be obtained from just the status code, so you should set print_errors to TRUE if you have trouble determining the cause of the error.
If abort_errors is TRUE (default is FALSE), the program will terminate on an error condition. Otherwise, the program will continue execution but the watch(es) will not be started.
See option_stopwatch(3) for further information on print_errors, abort_errors and I/O units.
The relevant status codes and messages are:
In addition to the run time diagnostics generated by StopWatch
, the following
problem may arise:
type (watchtype) w1, w2(3)
type (watchgroup) g1
integer errcode
call start_watch(w1)
call start_watch(w2, err=errcode)
call start_watch(g1, (/'cpu ', 'wall'/), errcode)
The first call starts the default clocks on a single watch. The second call starts the default clocks on three watches given as an array and returns an status code. The third call starts the cpu and wall clocks on the watches in the group g1, and returns a status code.
It cannot be determined whether or not a watch variable or watch group has been created (passed as an argument to create_watch or create_watchgroup). If a watch or watch group that has never been created is passed into start_watch, it might generate a Fortran error due to passing a pointer with undefined association status to the Fortran intrinsic function associated. Some compilers will allow this as an extension to the Fortran 90 standard and recognize that the pointer is not associated, in which case the ``Watch needs to be created'' error message is generated.

Prince William & Kate Middleton: A Royal Split
Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton have called it quits after nearly five years together.
The couple had reached an "amicable agreement" to separate, UK's The Sun newspaper reported Saturday.
The split is said to have been caused by Prince William's career in the army and pressures by the media (there was much speculation about wedding plans).
Prince William, 24, and Kate, 25, last appeared together on the horse tracks at Cheltenham Festival on March 13.
The weekend before that, the couple hit the slopes in Switzerland for a ski trip together.
So ladies, Prince William is single again!!!!!!
UPDATE: Pictures below include the last Kate Middleton sightings taken last week in Dublin, Ireland. Kate (sans Prince William) is pictured with her mother, Carole Elizabeth, on April 5 and with a gal pal on April 3.

If you're going to mount a dance inspired by the opera "Carmen," naturally you people it with a heroine in gypsy garb and colorful toreadors, right?
Well, no, not if you're Gustavo Ramirez Sansano, whose highly original "Carmen.maquia" looked more like a Picasso painting come to life amid a stark, stately Art Deco playground.
"Whenever I compose, I look for ingredients I think the piece needs, and while 'Carmen' is a story, what it seemed to need was a nonliteral medium," he said. "We set out not to tell Carmen's story, but to reveal what she feels."
Both ambitious and risky, "Carmen.maquia," the title of Sansano's version last spring, proved a major accomplishment, a complex, expressionistic dance that evoked the tale by means of geometrically stylized dance and a scenic counterfoil to the great Georges Bizet score, a counterfoil that wound up paradoxically reinvigorating the story's deep emotions. Sansano is an unabashedly abstract choreographer, to be sure. "I don't really like acting," he admitted. "Those moments where we had to rely on acting were the most difficult."
"Carmen.maquia" also provided Sansano the chance to create great roles for two of Luna Negra Dance Theater's best talents: Monica Cervantes, steely and seductive as Carmen, and rubbery Eduardo Zuniga, a speedy, elusive Don Jose. "It's almost weird as a choreographer to find two people who can take what you give them and make it newer and better," he said of his stars.
In the two years since he took over the artistic direction of Luna Negra from founder Eduardo Vilaro, Sansano, 34, has introduced Chicago audiences both to his consistently fine work and to that of others, including such innovative voices as Brazilian-born Fernando Melo. He has bolstered the troupe's credentials as one of the more adventuresome — and sometimes challenging — in our city. Earlier this year, he inaugurated a program of gutsy new works, performed at the Museum of Contemporary Art and returning with new offerings this June. "This year, there will be both live dance and a movie," he said, with Zuniga down for an original dance film.
At the more family-oriented end of the spectrum, he has also boosted Luna Negra's calendar with the "Moniquilla" children's series, about the trials of a trio of friends, which enjoyed its second installment Nov. 30-Dec. 2 and promises to be a new holiday staple.
Now the trick is to reach more audiences. With only two concerts annually at the Harris Theater, fall and spring, Luna Negra may well be the best dance company you're not seeing. "Reaction from people who come to see our company is really good," he said. "We've put a lot of money and energy into our art, and that's always important. Now we need to put a little more of that toward marketing. If we don't sell our one single night each Harris engagement, it's over, and people miss it."

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – Amber Kistler of Concordia (Neb.) has been named the NAIA National Division II Women's Basketball Player of the Week, the national office announced Tuesday. Kistler was selected based on her performances from Feb. 6 – 12 and was chosen out of a pool of conference/independent/unaffiliated groupings.
Kistler continued to prove herself as one of the nation's top long-range snipers in a big week for her and No. 2 Concordia. Her 14-for-19 shooting effort from beyond the arc ignited the Bulldogs to three wins over the past week, including victories over No. 7 Northwestern (Iowa) and No. 11 Briar Cliff (Iowa). In the 102-96 triumph over Briar Cliff, she poured in a career-high 37 points on a near-perfect shooting night in which she netted all eight 3-point field goal attempts. For the week, she averaged 25.7 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.3 assists and shot 24-for-35 (68.6 percent) from the field and 15-of-16 (93.8 percent) from the charity stripe.
The 5-foot-9 senior guard from Minatare, Neb., is second on her team in scoring with 14.5 points per game, while ranking 11th in the nation in free throw percentage (84.8) and 12th in 3-point field goal percentage (41.4). Kistler has Concordia atop the Great Plains Athletic Conference with a 16-2 league mark.

When Jesus Portillo (BSBA '13) entered the Dr. Sushil Bhatia Competition for Innovative Ideas last fall, he didn't even think he would make it past the first round.
He not only finished as a finalist, but he's currently turning his idea into a real-life product on the market. His product, called iRead, is an electronic device similar to an iPad. It's specifically designed for visually-impaired people, allowing them to read, surf the web, take tests, and much more, all with just one device.
Portillo came up with the idea for the iRead after an experience he had in a Suffolk University classroom. Sitting in class, he noticed the struggles one of his visually-impaired classmates was facing every day.
"I was really curious about how could she manage to take notes, use textbooks, or take tests," he said.
Portillo described how the student would have to take separate quizzes in braille, and use multiple laptops and electronic devices just so she was able to do things as simple as take notes, or look up information on the Internet.
"So then I thought, 'what if I could combine all her devices and add some improvements to allow her to download tests, class notes, etc.?' And that´s how I came up with iRead," Portillo said.
After months of brainstorming and developing, Portillo entered his idea in the Competition for Innovative Ideas.
Portillo Wins 13K for His Big Idea
In the final round of the competition, Portillo pitched his product to the judges. It was up to them whether Portillo's idea was worth an investment.
"I loved the day I presented," he said. "All the judges were very professional and supportive. They asked important questions that ultimately helped me make the product better. When it was over, I felt that even if I didn´t win, the experience was worth every minute of my hard work."
The judges were impressed with Portillo's idea. They awarded him $3,000 in cash and $10,000 in services to help him get product off the ground.
Today, Portillo is working with a Miami-based company that he's hoping will invest in his product.
And the competition is also helping him stand out in job interviews.
"I've had about 10 job interviews since winning, and every employer is extremely interested in learning more about the competition. It shows that I'm innovative and self-motivated. And it's a great way to prove that I'm a skilled researcher and presenter."

Art / Statues > Fine Art Prints > Prints of the Saints and Notables >
These top-quality Fine Art Prints are printed on 100 percent acid free cotton archival Fine Art Paper: fine art velvet or ultrasmooth, depending on paper size. Ultrachrome inks enhance the archival properties of the media ensuring a print life of many generations.
The prints are reproduced as accurately as possible based on the original paintings. The images are not distorted in any way to make them fit standard print sizes. The images are enlarged or reduced proportionally to fit as close to the standard size as possible. This means the images are not cropped and each print will have every detail of the original painting. Consequently most prints will have a white border which can be covered with matte board prior to framing.
All orders are custom printed and shipped flat in boxes for domestic orders. Our largest prints and International orders are shipped on rolls due to shipping size restrictions.
A very important note: Each print is custom made to order and is therefore non-returnable. In the unlikely event that the print has a production defect, it will be replaced with the same size reproduction of the same exact piece of artwork. There are no exceptions to this policy.

Fortune has dealt Alabama farmers another bad card this year. If Hurricane Ivan wasn't bad enough, producers now have to contend with skyrocketing fuel prices — all the more frustrating for farmers, because much like weather, it is a factor entirely beyond their control.
As one expert observes, the two factors, bad weather coupled with the price spikes, have left "farmers stuck in the middle."
"There is real irony here," says Robert Goodman, an Alabama Cooperative Extension System economist and Auburn University associate professor of agricultural economics. "Alabama farmers are out gathering the produce of a largely bountiful crop but they nonetheless face a sobering future due to high energy costs and low crop prices."
With harvesting under way throughout the state, the hike couldn't have come at a worse time.
"Almost everyone ends up getting pinched," says Tim Reed, Extension coordinator in Franklin County, "but it's especially hard on farmers who must pay for higher-priced fuel not only to run their trucks but their cotton pickers and combines as well."
Reed estimates that on a good day, a four-row cotton picker burns about 80 gallons of diesel fuel picking 20 acres of cotton.
"Add another 10 to 20 gallons each to run the tractors and other equipment and the costs could run as high as $170 a day for diesel," he says. Farmers running mid-sized combines are spending at least $30 more each day to harvest corn and soybeans compared with last year.
The news gets even worse for larger-scale cotton producers who are paying as much as $1,000 a day for fuel to operate three large pickers and other equipment during harvesting, Reed says.
The fuel cost spikes aren't limited only to diesel fuel. For many producers, there is the added expense of propane and natural gas. Corn producers use propane to dry corn for storage to prevent molding. When propane costs are at their normal level of around a dollar a gallon, it only costs 4 cents a bushel to dry them. This year, though, they are now well above this level, Reed says.
Broiler producers are especially vulnerable to spikes in propane and natural gas costs, he says.
It's common for poultry producers to use between 3,000 and 4,000 gallons of propane annually to heat a broiler house — a sobering thought for many growers considering that propane is running 30 cents a gallon higher than last year.
Natural gas already is up 5 cents per 100 cubic feet compared with last year. By winter, it's projected the costs could rise another 50 percent.
"I'll just have to cut back on spending in other areas to pay the higher propane bills," says Franklin County broiler producer Mike Clay.
Clay predicts the higher prices over a prolonged period will be reflected in higher poultry prices at the grocery store.
Finally, there is nitrogen fertilizer, a farm staple derived almost entirely from natural gas. Currently, about the only people feeling this price pinch are winter forage producers and wheat producers. These higher costs already have forced some Tennessee Valley cattle producers to reduce their normal nitrogen fertilizer applications to fescue pastures this September, Reed says.
Virtually every producer will be affected if the high prices carry over next year into spring planting.
The price spike likely will prompt some producers to search for alternatives.
"Forage and livestock producers will be looking for ways to reduce their fertilizer costs and this might include the use of forage legumes and organic waste material such as broiler litter," says Don Ball, and Extension forage crop agronomist and Auburn University professor of agronomy and soils.
Unfortunately for most producers, there are no short-term solutions. High prices undoubtedly will prompt many producers to try to replace nitrogen fertilizer with broiler litter.
Reed believes farmers could reduce their fertilizer costs by as much as 65 percent using broiler litter as a substitute. The biggest challenge remains getting the litter and applying it in a relatively short time. The Alabama Department of Environmental Management requires that the litter be spread no more than 30 days before planting — a factor that likely will make this more practical for forage producers than row crop producers.
It's an even bigger challenge for other producers for whom adequate alternatives aren't available.
"When a farmer is confronted with extremely high fertilizer and fuel prices and pitifully low prices for cotton, soybeans and corn, the chances of turning a profit are slim," Reed says. "In the Tennessee Valley many farmers need to pick 800 pounds of cotton an acre to stay profitable this year."
For his part, Goodman believes farmers will survive by doing what they've always done — keeping a level head and thinking on their feet.
"If history is any guide, they'll somehow find a way to cope and adapt to these extreme prices and continue producing the fiber we all need to survive," he says.

So, you're asking yourself, which Call of Duty is the best from the entire series of games by Infinity Ward? Well we have focused on what the community thinks and broken the list down to two of the favorites and most seriously taken games from the franchise.
Which game do you think is the best and also do you think the other titles should be taken more seriously?
Not a fan of the series but definitly 1 and 4.
The original Call of Duty came out at a time when the market had seen MANY WW2 games, especially shooters. It still managed to differentiate itself and shine above the rest.
Call of Duty: 4 more or less did the same thing but with modern military instead of WW2
Call of duty 4 Modern Warfare, favorite maps: crash and shipment

Augusta's new Walmart store to open June 12th
Construction is nearly complete on the new Walmart store in Augusta scheduled to open on June 12th.
Soon store associates will begin stocking shelves in preparation of the grand opening of the approximately 120,000 square-foot store that will feature a full line of groceries, including a bakery, deli and fresh produce section. There also will be an expanded garden center. There will also be the Walmart wide assortment of merchandise.
According to a release from Walmart, the new stores feature many energy-saving elements, part of the company's overall efforts to reduce the total amount of energy used in stores and other operations. These features include LED lights in signage, freezer cases and the parking lot. This technology uses about 50 percent less energy than traditional lighting.
Augusta Walmart Manager Shannon Thummel advised that between 140 and 150 associates will be employed at the new locations and applications will start being accepted in mid-April.
Thummel also reported that the current Augusta Walmart store will close the evening before opening day of the new Walmart.

Commissioner Tony Clark Statement
June 20, 2013
Docket Nos. ER13-93-000, ER13-94-000, ER13-98-000, ER13-99-000, ER13-836-000 & NJ13-1-000
Item No. E-1
ColumbiaGridss Order 1000 Compliance Filings
This order rejects key elements of the Filing Parties Order No. 1000 compliance filings related to transmission planning and cost allocation for utilities serving the Pacific Northwest. I dissent because I would have, in large part, accepted the filings.
The Commission has stressed throughout the Order No. 1000 process that flexibility and respect for regional differences would be a hallmark of this undertaking. I believe this order runs afoul of that stated principle. The Pacific Northwest is a unique region of the United States as it pertains to transmission planning. Approximately 75 percent of the transmission service in the region is provided by one entity: the Bonneville Power Administration (Bonneville), a federal agency that the Commission cannot compel to participate in the Order No. 1000 regime. Jurisdictional and non-jurisdictional utilities in this region have been planning together through ColumbiaGrid since 2006. In the compliance filings, these entities propose to continue this planning process while incorporating key elements of Order No. 1000. While Bonneville is either unable or unwilling to commit to the sort of binding cost allocation envisioned by Order No. 1000, I view these filings as a best effort to comply with the spirit of Order No. 1000, while acknowledging the reality of the transmission grid in the Pacific Northwest.
Substantially accepting the filing would allow those much smaller jurisdictional utilities that are deeply embedded within the Bonneville region to effectively participate in an Order No. 1000-like process along with Bonneville and other non-jurisdictional utilities. By rejecting key elements of this filing, I am concerned that we may do more harm than good in this region. I hope that Bonneville will find a way to continue to participate, but by failing to accommodate the regions unique characteristics, this order may cause the region to fracture, and thereby strand a number of jurisdictional utilities for purposes of Order No. 1000 planning. How those utilities would proceed under such a scenario, I do not know, for it is hard to contemplate an effective regional planning effort that ignores the reality of a region dominated by one non-jurisdictional transmission provider.
Therefore, I respectfully dissent.
