DEGIT Conference Papers from DEGIT, Dynamics, Economic Growth, and International Trade
Cross-pollination can be caused by birds, insects and wind. Genetically modified (GM) seeds are produced each year in a controlled environment to maintain their purity. However, pollen from the GM crop can be transferred to traditional crops. When the GM crop producers are in long-run equilibrium and buy seeds from a monopolistic seed producer, the resulting market equilibrium is identical to that when a seed monopolist produces the GM crop directly. When involuntary genetic contamination occurs, the monopolist eventually loses its advantage and stops the protection of GM seeds. A terminator gene can stop genetic contamination but imposes spillover costs on the traditional producers and reduces their outputs.

With interest rates at historic lows, bonds have become a difficult place to find income (although paradoxically, in 2012, asset flows into bond mutual funds have outpaced that of stock mutual funds yet again), so investors have looked to other assets for yield, most notably high dividend paying stocks. Stocks continue to be attractively valued relative to fixed income and cash. In addition, high dividend paying stocks offer investors the ability to grow the income to help offset inflation, whereas in bonds, the income is fixed. However, despite the attractiveness of stocks, and this ability to grow dividends, investors should not be distracted by a stock simply because it offers a high dividend yield. Instead, investors need to focus on a company's earnings growth, underlying business model, and valuation, in addition to its income stream.
Traditionally, Utility, Telecommunication, and Consumer Staples sectors have been defensive components of portfolios because cash flows from these businesses are generally stable. Therefore, in weaker economic times, investors typically look to overweight these sectors. Because of the relative consistency of the cash flow generated, these companies tend to pay out a sizeable portion of their earnings in the form of dividends. Stocks in these sectors (particularly utilities and telecom), have been an attractive place to satisfy investor's insatiable demand for yield, and as a result, has pushed up valuations within these sectors to unattractive levels. Not only do these companies have a higher dividend yield, but they also payout a very high portion of their earnings in the form of dividend. As of December, 31, 2012, based on a forward price-to-earnings multiple, the S&P 500 was trading at 12.5x. However, those companies within the S&P 500 that payout 70%+ of their earning were trading at 21x earnings, a 68% premium to the S&P 500! Companies paying out 35% of their earnings are trading at 14.5x, still a premium to the entire index, but demonstrably less.* If a company is paying out more than 70% of its earnings in the form of dividends, that leaves little from for dividend growth if the company's growth prospects decline. Investors also need to look at the amount of net debt (total cash - total debt) a dividend paying company has on its balance sheet. If net debt levels are high and the dividend payout is also high, and the company's growth prospects decline, then what may appear to be an attractive dividend, may be in jeopardy. Investors need to do research on each individual company they are investing in to understand the safety of the dividend, rather than simply buy shares of a stock because the yield is high.
In our Income with Growth strategy, we ask ourselves several very important questions before purchasing a high dividend paying stock, regardless if it is a REIT, MLP or common stock: What is the dividend yield? What is sustainability of that dividend? What is the growth rate of the dividend? What is the board's history of growing the dividend? What are the underlying earnings growth prospects of the company? Answering these fundamental questions is imperative to finding solid investments for income portfolios, rather than simply buying a stock because the dividend yield is high.

Kendrick Perkins strains MCL
I interrupt the regularly scheduled trade rumors to bring you news that will, quite appropriately, induce a scowl. Kendrick Perkins, who banged his knee yesterday and was diagnosed with a bruised knee, actually suffered a strained MCL. The injury is to Perk's left knee, or, in other words, the one that had been his healthy knee.
According to CSNNE's Jessica Camerato, Perkins is listed as day-to-day. But he is now expected to miss at least the remainder of Boston's Western Conference road trip, which concludes Monday after games in Denver, Los Angeles (Clippers) and Utah.
The Celtics could be considering a trade of Semih Erden, whose size and potential intrigues teams such as the Cavaliers (who could offer Anthony Parker in return). But Perk's injury could cause the Celtics to lean towards keeping the Turk. Though Perk is listed as day-to-day, this injury only highlights the fragile nature of Boston's roster, and their need to hold on to any and all capable big men.
Get well soon, Perk. May your day-to-day listing be true.

This team has struggled through so much injury adversity. It just strains credulity at this point.

Allow me to grab an obscure silver lining, from this injury. if Perk can't stay 100% for the rest of the season maybe the Celtics can get him on a discount one year deal next season while clearing cap space to lure Dwight Howard in 2012. Get healthy Perk.

calm down, folks. it's a strain. he's day to day. he'll be fine by the playoffs.
the injuries are going to be a blessing in disguise. better it happens now. by the time the playoffs come, they'll be well rested, especially shaq, who's becoming like a secret weapon that we can pull out for later.
i hope they don't trade erden. maybe perk being hurt will prevent that from happening. another blessing in disguise. erden could have a great future with this team.

These injuries are too much…. it's gonna cost us the one seed and possibly the two… which means at bulls and at heat. I'm losing sleep, you don't understand.. I'm a sick man, all I think about is this team and it's a very frustrating year. The whole season without our full roster? That's insane! I'm over reacting but I just can't take it anymore.

frank, take some tranquilizers, man. it's going to be okay. even at the 3 seed should that happen. after all, the c's can win on the road in the playoffs; they proved that last year. so long as we have a better record than the lakers. should we get that rematch, game 7 needs to be in boston.
sometimes it's a jinx to be the 1 seed. ask cleveland last year. if they can get healthy for the playoffs, they are the team to be beaten. hopefully someone can knock chicago out so the c's dont have to face them. they are going to give us the biggest problems.
have faith. the leprechaun is waiting to pop out from that 4-leaf clover and start sprinkling some of his magic dust on the c's bench.
and please everyone, please tell me that sheed is keeping his fat lazy ass in retirement.

Ford 'Red Tails' Edition Mustang GT Celebrates Tuskegee Airmen, Supports Education Program for Young Aviators
Last Updated on Monday, 23 July 2012 22:30 Written by Administrator Monday, 23 July 2012 21:17
DEARBORN, Mich., July 23, 2012 – The engineering and design teams at Ford Motor Company have produced a truly unique "Red Tails" edition 2013 Ford Mustang GT. This car will be sold at the Gathering of Eagles charity auction July 26 during the Experimental Aircraft Association (EAA) AirVenture Oshkosh 2012 – the World's Greatest Aviation Celebration.
All proceeds from the car donation and sale will benefit the EAA Young Eagles program, which has provided free introductory flights to more than 1.6 million young people since 1992, helping inspire and motivate the next generation of leaders, aviators and innovators.
Ford is the exclusive automotive partner of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, held July 23-29 at Wittman Regional Airport in Oshkosh, Wis.
"The perseverance and excellence displayed by the Tuskegee Airmen are qualities we also celebrate at Ford," said Edsel B. Ford II, a member of Ford's board of directors. "With this year's beautiful 'Red Tails' edition Mustang, we've captured the recognizable symbols in honor of their important role in our history, and paired it with the innovation our Ford design and engineering teams build into all of our products.
"Through this project," Ford added, "we take great pride in continuing our support for EAA and the Young Eagles organization."
The Ford "Red Tails" Mustang GT celebrates and commemorates the contributions of the Tuskegee Airmen, comprised of the 332nd Fighter Group and the 477th Bombardment Group, during World War II. This courageous squadron of P-51 Mustang pilots was the United States' first African American military airmen. Known for the red tails of their planes, the Tuskegee Airmen saw combat in more than 1,500 missions in World War II.
This one-of-a-kind car is secured under VIN 00051 in honor of the P-51 Mustang planes flown by the Tuskegee Airmen. The design of the modified 2013 Mustang GT 5.0-liter glass-roof coupe will unify the creative connection of the World War II fighters with a contemporary flair for the serious collector.
The exterior will showcase a unique polished aluminum nonproduction finish paint, accented with Race Red and School Bus Yellow, consistent with the P-51 fighter plane's red tail cues and the logos and markings of the United States Army Air Corps, 332nd Fighter Group and Squadrons.
Unique interior details of this "Red Tails" Mustang include a modified navigation screen, instrument cluster and rear seat-delete. The car's Recaro seats will include the embroidered "Red Tails" logo and floor mats embroidered with the 332nd Fighter Group logo. Additional features include a "Red Tails" script in the illuminated sill plates and puddle lamps that project "Red Tails" imagery when the doors open.
With a Ford Racing 2.3-liter twin-screw Whipple supercharger, handling pack, unique side exhaust, performance quad exhaust from SVT, Forgiato 20-inch aftermarket wheels, GT500 Brembo brakes and rear diffuser, the "Red Tails" Mustang will exude power and performance.
Mustang Chief Designer Darrell Behmer, Design Manager Melvin Betancourt and Chief Nameplate Engineer Dave Pericak led the design and engineering teams that developed the "Red Tails" Mustang.
The Young Eagles Auction is part of the EAA Gathering of Eagles at the EAA AirVenture Museum. The Gathering of Eagles annually draws more than 1,000 aviation enthusiasts in support of Young Eagles and other EAA programs that inspire young people to become engineers, aviators, astronauts, scientists and innovators – the aviation pioneers of tomorrow.
"Ford is a longtime, committed partner of EAA and AirVenture, bringing value to those who make Oshkosh the pinnacle of their aviation year," said Rod Hightower, EAA president and CEO. "These specialty vehicles allow EAA to provide support to its valuable programs and dedicated members in helping us grow the next generation of aviators."
The "Red Tails" edition joins four other one-of-a-kind Mustangs created by the Ford design and engineering teams for the EAA Young Eagles Auction in recent years, each generating excitement among aviation and automotive enthusiasts alike. Ford vehicles sold at auction during past EAA AirVenture events have collectively raised more than $1.5 million to support Young Eagles.
Other unique vehicles produced by Ford in support of EAA Young Eagles include the Mustang AV8R, with cues from the F-22 "Raptor," which in 2008 helped introduce the glass-roof canopy and delivered a record auction contribution of $500,000. In 2009, Ford's AV-X10 "Dearborn Doll" Mustang was crafted in honor of World War II aircraft. In 2010, two automotive icons – the late Carroll Shelby, a former U.S. Air Force flight instructor, and Jack Roush, longtime P-51 pilot – collaborated for the first time to create the SR-71 "Blackbird" Mustang inspired by the legendary reconnaissance jet. Last year's "Blue Angels" Mustang celebrated 100 years of United States naval aviation.
During EAA AirVenture, Ford will offer attendees access to the latest advances in automobile technology at the Ford Hangar, as well as many of the industry's most revered classics at the popular Cruisin' Legends area on the grounds of Wittman Regional Airport. Ford activities include top-tier entertainment and interactive components that will add excitement for the hundreds of thousands of aviation fans in attendance.
Sponsors supporting the build of the "Red Tails" edition Mustang include 3dCarbon, Creations n' Chrome, Ford Racing, Forgiato, Kay Graphics, Roush Performance Products and Takata.

- Design led by Darrell Behmer, Mustang Chief Designer, and Melvin Betancourt, Design Manager.

I heard it again the other day, "It's just community theatre." And, yes, we are amateur, community theatre--the whole organization is run on ticket sales and donations. No one is paid; everyone volunteers. Those making it possible are your neighbors and co-workers who all have day jobs. No one is a professional. But, what is being a professional? Is it just being paid? No! MTVarts is filled with multi-tasking volunteers... amateurs... working full time, as professionals. It is about passion; the quality of the work; the willingness to pursue, to learn, to excel--just for the love of theatre.
Very noble, don't you think? Someone reminds us every year, "It's not about you; it is about the audience. We are giving our community a wonderful gift." But, in the end, it can lead to burnout and frustration. Many of us come to the point of, "I just can't do this anymore. My family is right; this is ridiculous." You pledge to take a summer off and know in your heart that you may not be back. But then you get an email.
My daughter loves this musical (from attending a local school production and from watching the DVD). But we would be driving from Indianapolis, Indiana. What are the performance times, please?
Thank you.
Hi Mark
The evening performances are 7:30 and, unfortunately, this year, because of theatre availability, we only have one matinee... Sunday July 13, at 2:00.
If you chose to stay overnight, we do have some very nice local hotels as well as Holiday Inn Express.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the super-fast reply! I'll plan to make this trip with my daughter.
Great. You do know you can purchase tickets online?
Let us know how you like the show. We try to be an audience-driven theatre company so feedback is our lifeblood. :)
May I ask how you heard about the show?
My angel daughter is a special needs child, and she loves to go to musical productions of her favorite stories. So I Google-search anything possible related to her favorites, and will take her to see them. Most 2014 productions of "Shrek" are on the east and west coasts and Texas, with few in the Midwest. I found your show after narrowing the search to the year and state, along with the name "Shrek the Musical."
Thank you. I will order online.
As the dates get closer, remind me and we will arrange a back stage tour. We work with people with disabilities and two will be in the show. JJ House is the assistant to the director and he could perhaps chat with your little angel. Here is JJ's adventure with us. www.thejjproject.org.
See you in July.
Thank you. Sarah loves to meet performers after the shows, and I have dozens of photo albums of her with cast members. To her, everyone in the show is real, and maybe that's the way she connects with them. She is not very communicative verbally, except when at a show and talking about it afterward. The photos of Shrek from the performances we attended last year were in one of the photo books I sent along with her to school yesterday for her weekly speech therapy. We listened to part of the cast CD on the way to school today, and she told me she wanted to see Shrek and Fiona again. That is what inspired my search for performances that were within a manageable driving distance. We talk about Shrek being a nice ogre, and she said, "He's my friend. He said my name", which is true, as the cast were so kind to her at that school production last year. I always introduce Sarah by name, as she is too shy to speak, but they respond kindly to her, and she remembers everything about who she meets and if they said her name.
Thank you again.
We will do all we can to make this special for Sarah. Our cast is fabulous and will be wonderful with Sarah. We always do a meet and greet after the show where she can personally meet all the cast. If JJ is able, he could be her host. This could be wonderful. :) Keep me posted on your plans.
Meet Sarah She will be traveling to attend 4 of our performances. We can't wait to meet her.
So, you see, it is much, much more than community theatre. This year our inspiration will be Sarah. And we will remember to say her name. Let's keep doing this thing together. It can be so much more.

Stranded jet skier thwarts JFK Airport's $100M security system
A jet-skier who became stranded in a New York City bay reached safety by swimming to shore near New York JFK Airport and then walking undetected past two runways and up to a terminal Friday night.
Much to the consternation of authorities, the man's efforts apparently outwitted the airport's $100 million, state-of-the-art perimeter surveillance system.
The incident began when the man, identified as 31-year-old Daniel Casillo, went out "racing" in his watercraft after drinking with buddies, the New York Post reports.
"They were trying to see who had the fastest jet skis, like idiots," his girlfriend, Deanna Cowan, says to the Post.
But Casillo's jet ski broke down around 7:45 p.m. ET in Jamaica Bay, which fronts JFK airport at its eastern edge.
The Post writes that when his friends didn't notice his absence, "the stranded Casillo swam three miles toward the only thing he could see — the lights of Runway 4-Left, which sticks out into the bay."
Wearing a bright yellow life jacket, he emerged "dripping wet" and climbed an 8-foot-high perimeter fence before walking unnoticed across that runway "and intersecting Runway 31L," the Post writes.
He was arrested and charged with criminal trespass after he approached a Delta ground worker near Terminal 3's Gate 10, according to the Post.
The incident has drawn outrage from local politicians and officials.
"We're dealing with safety here," Democratic Sen.Charles Schumer says to New York's WABC TV. "God forbid a terrorist should get onto a runway of an airport," he adds to the station, which notes in its report that this is not the first problem with the security system.
It also prompted strong words from the police union at the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, where officials want to know how the wayward jet-skier was able to walk undetected past the motion sensors and closed-circuit cameras that are part of the airport's "Perimeter Intrusion Detection System."
The authority paid $100 million for the system that is supposed to help protect the busy New York airport against terrorists.
The Port Authority issued a statement Monday saying that it has taken immediate action to increase boost patrols of the airport perimeter.
"We have called for an expedited review of the incident and a complete investigation to determine how Raytheon's perimeter intrusion detection system -- which exceeds federal requirements -- could be improved," the agency says in an statement quoted by The Associated Press. "Our goal is to keep the region's airports safe and secure at all times."
Prior to the Port Authority's statement, Robert Egbert -- a spokesman for authority's Police Benevolent Association --told the New York Post the union was "demanding a (Port Authority) inspector's general investigation into the failed Perimeter Intrusion Detection System, the cost over-runs and the relationship between the Port Authority and Raytheon, the vendor."
A Raytheon spokesman tells the Post: "We are working closely with the Port Authority to determine what happened."
As for Casillo, one former New York transit authority says there are lessons from his misadventure.
"I think he should be given dinner and a bottle of champagne for showing us our faults," Nicholas Casale, an NYPD veteran and former deputy security director for counterterrorism for the New York Metropolitan Transportation Authority, says to ABC's Good Morning America.

Press Release
Enforcement Officers Conduct Sting Operation - Lee County Man Nabbed for Selling Illegal Rattlesnakes
October 09, 2007
CONTACT: Chief Allan Andress, 334-242-3467
William Gornto, 47, of Phenix City, Alabama was arrested in Lee County by Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (ADCNR) Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division conservation enforcement officers on 57 counts of possession of non-indigenous (non-native) venomous reptiles. The arrest was made on Oct. 3, 2007 after officers obtained a search warrant for Gornto's premises.
Tips from concerned citizens led to the discovery and arrest of Gornto who was illegally selling the snakes on the Internet. ADCNR regulations make it illegal to sell, offer for sale or to possess non-indigenous venomous reptiles without a permit. If convicted, Gornto faces a maximum fine of $500 per count and six months in jail.
The non-indigenous venomous reptiles confiscated included 35 Western Diamondback, 19 Prairie and three Black Tail rattlesnakes.
"If these non-indigenous highly poisonous snakes had escaped and began to breed, it could pose a serious threat to native wildlife," said ADCNR Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division Enforcement Chief Allan Andress. "More importantly, these types of snakes pose a severe threat to people, especially in populated areas." Currently the confiscated snakes are safely contained at an undisclosed location.
Anyone having information regarding non-indigenous venomous reptiles being held in captivity is asked to please call the ADCNR Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division Law Enforcement Office at 334-242-3467 or 1-800-272-4263.
The Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources promotes wise stewardship, management and enjoyment of Alabama's natural resources through five divisions: Marine Police, Marine Resources, State Lands, State Parks, and Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries.

Distance runners pace WC at Capital Classic
Quakers finish sixth
February 18, 2012
Annie Cekada finished second in the 5,000-meter run at the Capital Classic.
BEXLEY — A strong showing by Wilmington's distance runners helped the Quakers to a sixth-place finish at the Capital Classic Saturday.
The Quakers finished with 57 points. Otterbein won the 12-team event with 135.50 points.
"We've had some people who weren't completely healthy, so it was important to get some confidence for them as we head to the conference meet next weekend," Wilmington head coach Ron Combs said.
Annie Cekada (Mineral Point, Pa./Central Cambria) finished second in the 5,000-meter run with a time of 18:44.41.
"Annie looked a lot more like herself. She's definitely not 100 percent, but it was a good race for her, a good step toward next week," Combs said.
Jenna Parlette (Miamisburg) finished third in the mile run and fifth at 800 meters.
Colleen Romeo (Pleasant Plain/Goshen) was third in the 1,000-meter run.
"Colleen had a really good day. Her time in the 1,000 was the fifth-fastest in school history. She also ran a nice leg on our 4x4," Combs said.
Brittany Gibbons (Pleasant Plain/Blanchester) and Tricia Steffen (Baltimore/Liberty Union) went 2,3 in the 3,000-meter run.
"It was a good weekend. I'm happy with the results and how we are looking as we get ready for the conference meet," Combs said.

Troy Donahue
Troy Donahue (January 27, 1936 – September 2, 2001) was an American actor, who was extremely popular from the late 1950s to early 1960s, though continued acting into the late 1990s. Born Merle Johnson, Jr., Donahue was initially a journalism student at Columbia University in New York City before he decided to become an actor in Hollywood, where he was represented by Rock Hudson's agent, Henry Willson. According to Robert Hofler's 2005 biography, The Man Who Invented Rock Hudson: The Pretty Boys and Dirty Deals of Henry Willson, Willson tried out the name Troy on Rory Calhoun and James Darren, with no success before it finally stuck to Donahue. The blond heartthrob established himself with uncredited roles in The Monolith Monsters and Man Afraid in 1957, leading to larger parts in several films. He starred in Monster on the Campus, Live Fast, Die Young, and The Tarnished Angels, all in 1958, and opposite fellow teen idol Sandra Dee in A Summer Place in 1959. The latter made him a major star, especially among teenage audiences. He signed a contract with Warner Bros. and played several successive leading roles in films such as Rome Adventure and A Distant Trumpet. The two co-starred  ( Wikipedia article )

Sam Alert: Attention, Airstream RV Owners!
Posted By Good Sam On July 25, 2011 @ 7:47 am In RV News | No Comments
July 6, 2011
Airstream is recalling certain model year 2008-2012 Interstate Touring coaches manufactured from September 18, 2008, through June 24, 2011. The driver's seat belt buckle wire could be damaged or severed when the driver's seat is adjusted forward, backward, or swiveled. This wire allows communication between the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and the Vehicle Control Module (ECM) indicating if the driver's seat is occupied and the seat belt is buckled.
NHTSA Campaign ID Number: 11V349000
Component: Seat belts: Front: Buckle Assembly
Potential number of units affected: 281
If the driver's seat belt buckle wire is damaged or severed, the seat belt tensioner will not function correctly allowing the driver to not be secured to the seat, preventing proper operation of the SRS which could result in personal injury to the driver in the event of a crash.
Airstream will notify owners, and dealers will repair the coaches free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during July 2011. Owners may contact Airstream at 1-937-538-1268.
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov [4].

Angelita V. Menchaca
When representing a company, you're doing exactly that—giving it a face, a personality, and a personal image. As humans, we relate much better to this than say, the facade of a cold marble building. People are more willing to buy from individuals they personally work with than a faceless corporation--it's simple human nature. But that individuality does not negate the fact that you still have a brand to convey, and if you're not exploiting the opportunity, you're missing a big part of your branding program.
Representing a company is an important assignment. Whether you're a field salesperson or the President, when you meet with a client oftentimes you are the company to them. This places a big responsibility on the representative, but also gives the company being represented an incredible opportunity to brand their employees for success.
The point of branding is to make your company (or in this case the person representing your company) memorable and consistently reinforce your corporate image. Many businesses brand their individuals by having them wear uniforms. Clean, neatly pressed, and with brand mark conspicuously displayed, this is a perfectly legitimate solution for them, but perhaps not for everyone.
Other than uniforms, the options available are wide and varied. Don't limit yourself to what everyone else does. Look over your branding strategy, pick out those qualities your company strives to portray and apply them to your employee's dress. If your driving force is friendly professionals, have your employees wear distinctive ties, brightly colored sports coats, or polo shirts with your embroidered logo. If you want to be seen as a highly professional industry leader, maybe a subtle look would be more appropriate for your employees—have them wear unique shirt pins, or distinctively colored handkerchiefs in the breast pockets of their jackets. The point is to distinguish your employees as members of your particular organization. When a client or colleague recalls them to another, this should be one of the points they can use as a remembrance tool, "…you know, the guys who always wear green bow ties."
It may seem like a small and inconsequential thing to spend time on, but personal branding can really leave a lasting impression on clients. And as any good sales and marketing professional knows, even though you may not be the best out there, simply standing out among the masses as a memorable option is often what lands you the sale.

'Stars & Bars' at Mattatuck
Waterbury Walkabout
|Maloney Magnet School fifth-graders and their teacher, Andrew Dunn, learn about Waterbury's history at the Mattatuck Museum. Michelle Morcey / Republican-American
Instead of moaning about this week's deep freeze, smart folks who don't have to be outside took refuge inside the toasty Mattatuck Museum Arts & History Center. There was plenty of activity there Wednesday morning, with the Community Room getting prepped for a new installation and the museum getting ready to host an exciting event next week.
On Tuesday, the first-ever public reading of "Stars & Bars" will be performed by the Working Actors Collective and directed by CPTV's Ed Wierzbicki. Presented in conjunction with the museum's exhibition "Art for Everyone: The Federal Art Project in Connecticut," the program begins at 7 p.m. (a cash bar and light hors d'oeuvres will be available at 6:30).

Combined export value of U.S. poultry meat and eggs reached a record $5.7 billion in 2012, a 12 percent increase from 2011, according to year-end data released by the Foreign Agricultural Service.
Poultry meat exports set records in both quantity and value in 2012. Export value was nearly $5.5 billion, rising 11 percent year-over-year, and quantity was 4.1 million metric tons, up 5 percent.
Egg exports also reached record levels. Total exports (table eggs plus processed egg products in shell-egg equivalents) were 274.1 million dozen, valued at $263.7 million, up 24 and 35 percent from 2011, respectively.
The U.S. industry, which for years depended on a few behemoths, such as Russia and China, for the majority of its exports sales, is now much less dependent on those markets, as new markets have opened and sales expanded to the rest of the world, said Jim Sumner, president of the USA Poultry & Egg Export Council, in a written statement.

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Hoax device forces evacuations at Fung Lin apartments
Dozens of residents at the Fung Lin apartment complex had to be evacuated because of a device that looked like a bomb.
Officers said the incident was reported about 5 p.m. Saturday at the complex at 844 Chelwood Park.
Investigators said the device was found in front of a second floor apartment.
The bomb squad said the device was not explosive, but it was safely detonated as a precaution.
Sgt. Carlos Gallegos said the hoax device consisted of two cylinders "a watch, batteries and wires sticking out of it."
Police said the incident started when a neighbor noticed the device about 4 p.m. and called it in.
The bomb squad evacuated the building and prepared a controlled explosion to destroy the device.
Unfortunately, police said the explosion caused fatal injuries to a cat belonging to the resident of the apartment the device was placed in front of.
Residents were allowed back in their homes about 8 p.m.

I'm miserable and I'm ready to meet my baby. I am sick of being asked about my pregnancy and the comments "you look like you're about to pop!"
I wish I felt like you do. Kudos, Mama.
LDQAM516:I feel awesome and am in no hurry for this baby to come out! Not ready for our world to be turned upside down yet.
I noticed you are almost 40 weeks! This gives me hope I have a chance of not getting the "get this baby out of me" blues in a couple weeks!!! Thanks!
I felt great at 36 weeks and waas happy to be pregnant. I'm still happy to be pregnant but ready to have my little one and ready to be able to begin getting some quality sleep and be able to sleep somewhere other than the recliner with ice on my a**.
I think a lot of us who do have gripes are just trying to find out if anyone else is having the same issue, and what they are doing about it. It does not mean that we haven't enjoyed being pregnant, it doesn't mean that we want our babies to come sooner than they are ready, it means we are tired, sore, uncomfortable, emotional and ready to meet our babies.
I'm not trying to be rude but until you've walked in some of these ladies' shoes, you have no idea what they are going through, and shouldn't judge.
I'm still feeling good and happy!
As much as I'm looking forward to having my baby, I'm savoring the last days of non-motherhood. I've been blessed that my pregnancy discomforts have been minor.
I'm a Dork. I Can't Wait for Dumb and Dumber To!
I'm still feeling good but occasionally want to complain. Up until 2 weeks ago, I was totally fine! Now that the end of pregnancy is so near, it's definitely a little bitter-sweet. I will miss being pregnant but can't wait to have LO in my arms!
We have to remember that pregnancy affects everyone so differently. I don't think any 2 people have the exact same experience. Sometimes it just feels good to whine and know that someone else has been there and understands.
I have all the pains and discomforts, but no real complaints. He can stay put as long as he needs too, just don't decide to come in the middle of a snow storm!
I feel like I have so much I want to do before he's here anyway.
I'm most uncomfortable laying, and getting out of a laying position. So I put off going to bed, and when I wake up, I sit in bed for awhile because otherwise I really can't stand up/support myself yet. The heartburn sucks too, but I have a prescription to take for that. I just need to actually take it before I need to.
But, this is what I signed up for. When people ask how I am, I say fine. If somebody pries, and asks if I have any discomfort yet, I laugh and say of course I do!
Thanksgiving I actually did just that, and my grandma said that she would pray for me. Pray for what, an early baby? I don't want him to come because I'm uncomfortable, I want him to come because he's ready!
However, I totally understand people feeling "done" with it all.
I am feeling great at 36 weeks as well! I want this baby to keep cooking as long as he or she wants. I really don't want baby coming before the 22nd because that's my last day of work (due date is the 28th), but it would be nice to have a baby before the new year
I am not sick of people asking about my pregnancy but I am sooooo sick of other Mom's telling me "how much I'll miss being pregnant", "how they miss being pregnant", AND "babies love this and this and this...so make sure you have those things". First of all I'm pretty sure once the baby is born I will be happy to get my shape back. As cool as it is to feel baby kicking I'll be ready to not feel jabs that sometimes hurt! AND does EVERY baby like baby swings or diaper warmers or all this stuff "expert" Mom's seem to know. I am sorry it just gets under my skin when other Mom's (especially those who haven't even been a Mom for a year) think they know EVERYTHING about taking care of a baby. That goes along with people handing over babies to me and say, "here you need to practice". NO I don't need any practice thank you...I've been around babies enough with cousins and OH yeah I worked at a daycare for 5 years! UGH!
Okay enough of my rant. But I am feeling great for being 36 weeks pregnant. Then again I hate to hear other people complain so when my cankles hurt, my back aches, and it feels like someone threw a bowling ball at my vagina I try to stay positive and think that other people have it way worse in other situations of their life. Why b*tch when you are the one who wanted to have a baby to begin with?
iandebender:I know everyone is different and we really all have good days and bad. A week ago I wanted to bawl b/c baby isn't here and I'm tired of being huge. This week I'm feeling fine, enjoying the last few weeks of baby in my belly. It's a bond only you and the baby share and its awesome I don't want to look back and think about all the bad. I'm trying to be more optimistic as time winds down.
This pretty much sums up how I am feeling. I am tryng to enjoy the last bit of pregnancy I have left, but am anxious to meet our little girl and want to meet her soon. I also don't want her to be born too close to Christmas for a variety of reasons, including her birthday not being too close and hopefully, so I can try to get a couple of days under my belt so we can have a wonderful first Christmas as a family of 3. I am so excited to meet her and really feel that she is ready to come out, so don't feel bad about having some spicy food and some extra sex. I enjoy both, so if that helps, great and, if not, well, it was fun trying
Sep14 February Siggy Challenge: Favorite Romantic Movie - A Knight's Tale
Happily welcomed healthy baby girl December 2011.
Excited to welcome a new addition September 2014!
I think I'm just getting tired of the whole "you're still here?" questions. While I was taking a bath last night, baby decided to just stttrrrreeeetttccchhh his little legs out and I told him "you must be as uncomfortable as mommy is..maybe it's time for both of us to be comfortable" lol.
Don't know if that will do much, but I'm hoping he's here soon. I'm doing a countdown at work.
I have my fair share of the normal late pregnancy issues, but overall I'm still doing really well.
Anytime I feel like complaining and feeling sorry for myself I remind myself and as much as it sucks right now, life is still a freaking CAKEWALK compared to life as a brand new mother! Not being pregnant anymore isn't going to make life magically all better, so I'm still making the very best of my days left without a newborn demanding my attention 24/7. I'm not getting much sleep now, but I can only imagine how incredibly tough it's going to be once Nugget is here!
Don't get me wrong, I'm absolutely excited to be a mother and cannot wait to love and care for my child, but I'm under no illusion (that some FTM's have) that not being pregnant anymore will make life instantly easier.
Oh and to the sensitive ladies who took offense to this... OP was in no way taking a dig at anyone else, but sometimes the complaining and negativity seem to be ALL we hear on here, so it's nice to know that not all of us are completely miserable... it's great to hear positivity!
I felt great at 36 weeks and waas happy to be pregnant. I'm still happy to be pregnant but ready to have my little one and ready to be able to begin getting some quality sleep and be able to sleep somewhere other than the recliner with ice on my a**.
I think a lot of us who do have gripes are just trying to find out if anyone else is having the same issue, and what they are doing about it.

I'm not trying to be rude but until you've walked in some of these ladies' shoes, you have no idea what they are going through, and shouldn't judge.
Well said! Pregnancy can be a miserable time for some women. I have been throwing up three nights a week for nearly 9 months now, and yes. I am sick of it.

Testimonial by Iank1 on 123teachme.com
I attended here for 1 week in March/07 with my family – 4 of us in total, from Canada. Home stay was at the home of Javier, an owner of the school, my instructor was Demiss. We were all beginner spanish learners – at different levels and the teachers accomodated well to our different needs. This is a small school – they are probably full with 5 or 6 students. Home accomodations were simple and exactly what we needed. Rooms had lockable doors, purified water was always available, and a hot shower was available. Vegetarian food preference was accomodated. A very friendly family with a fun little 5yr old girl who entertained my teenage daughters endlessly. San Pedro is not too big and we felt safe on the streets even at night. You get very good value for the price you pay here – but don't be expecting luxury and high comfort – tortillas and rice will be the base of your diet! On the weekend an overnight mountain hike was offered for additional cost of 100Q each but well worth it – if you're reasonably fit. Afternoon activities were not really outings but – things like a movie, a presentation on Mayan Cosmology, and a group dinner with all the students. San Pedro has most of what gringos want such as nice restaurants/coffee shops/bars without being overwhelming touristy.
