7 U.S. Code § 7911 - Establishment of base acres and payment acres for a farm
prev | next
(a) Election by owner of base acres calculation method
(1) Alternative calculation methods
For the purpose of making direct payments and counter-cyclical payments with respect to a farm, the Secretary shall give an owner of the farm an opportunity to elect 1 of the following as the method by which the base acres of all covered commodities on the farm are to be determined:
(A) Subject to paragraphs (3) and (4), the 4-year average of the following:
(i) Acreage planted on the farm to covered commodities for harvest, grazing, haying, silage, or other similar purposes for the 1998 through 2001 crop years.
(B) Subject to paragraph (3), the sum of the following:
(i) The contract acreage (as defined in section 7202 of this title) used by the Secretary to calculate the fiscal year 2002 payment authorized under section 7214 of this title for the covered commodities on the farm.
(2) Eligible oilseed acreage
(A) Calculation
For purposes of paragraph (1)(B)(ii), the eligible acreage for each oilseed on a farm during each of the 1998 through 2001 crop years shall be determined in the manner provided in paragraph (1)(A), except that the total acreage for all oilseeds on the farm for a crop year may not exceed the difference between—
(i) the total acreage determined under paragraph (1)(A) for all covered commodities for that crop year; and
(B) Effect of negative number
If the subtraction performed under subparagraph (A) results in a negative number, the eligible oilseed acreage on the farm for that crop year shall be zero for purposes of determining the 4-year average.
(C) Offset of contract acreage
The owner of a farm may increase the eligible acreage for an oilseed on the farm by reducing the contract acreage determined under paragraph (1)(B)(i) for 1 or more covered commodities on an acre-for-acre basis, except that the total base acreage for each oilseed on the farm may not exceed the 4-year average of each oilseed determined under paragraph (1)(B)(ii).
(3) Inclusion of all 4 years in average
For the purpose of determining a 4-year acreage average under this subsection for a farm, the Secretary shall not exclude any crop year in which a covered commodity was not planted.
(4) Treatment of multiple planting or prevented planting
For the purpose of determining under paragraph (1)(A) the acreage on a farm that producers planted or were prevented from planting during the 1998 through 2001 crop years to covered commodities, if the acreage that was planted or prevented from being planted was devoted to another covered commodity in the same crop year (other than a covered commodity produced under an established practice of double cropping), the owner may elect the commodity to be used for that crop year in determining the 4-year average, but may not include both the initial commodity and the subsequent commodity.
(b) Single election; time for election
(1) Notice of election opportunity
As soon as practicable after May 13, 2002, the Secretary shall provide notice to owners of farms regarding their opportunity to make the election described in subsection (a) of this section. The notice shall include the following:
(c) Effect of failure to make election
If the owner of a farm fails to make the election under subsection (a) of this section or fails to timely notify the Secretary of the election made, as required by subsection (b) of this section, the owner shall be deemed to have made the election described in subsection (a)(1)(B) of this section to determine base acres for all covered commodities on the farm.
(d) Application of election to all covered commodities
The election made under subparagraph (A) or (B) of subsection (a)(1) of this section, or deemed to be made under subsection (c) of this section, with respect to a farm shall apply to all of the covered commodities on the farm.
(e) Treatment of conservation reserve contract acreage
(1) In general
The Secretary shall provide for an adjustment, as appropriate, in the base acres for covered commodities for a farm whenever either of the following circumstances occurs:
(A) A conservation reserve contract entered into under section 1231 of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3831) with respect to the farm expires or is voluntarily terminated.
(2) Special payment rules
For the crop year in which a base acres adjustment under paragraph (1) is first made, the owner of the farm shall elect to receive either direct payments and counter-cyclical payments with respect to the acreage added to the farm under this subsection or a prorated payment under the conservation reserve contract, but not both.
(f) Payment acres
The payment acres for a covered commodity on a farm shall be equal to 85 percent of the base acres for the covered commodity.
(g) Prevention of excess base acres
(1) Required reduction
If the sum of the base acres for a farm, together with the acreage described in paragraph (2), exceeds the actual cropland acreage of the farm, the Secretary shall reduce the base acres for 1 or more covered commodities for the farm or the base acres for peanuts for the farm under subchapter III of this chapter so that the sum of the base acres and acreage described in paragraph (2) does not exceed the actual cropland acreage of the farm.
(2) Other acreage
For purposes of paragraph (1), the Secretary shall include the following:
(B) Any acreage on the farm enrolled in the conservation reserve program or wetlands reserve program under chapter 1 of subtitle D of title XII of the Food Security Act of 1985 (16 U.S.C. 3830 et seq.).
(3) Selection of acres
The Secretary shall give the owner of the farm the opportunity to select the base acres or the base acres for peanuts for the farm under subchapter III of this chapter against which the reduction required by paragraph (1) will be made.
(4) Exception for double-cropped acreage
In applying paragraph (1), the Secretary shall make an exception in the case of double cropping, as determined by the Secretary.

On Oct. 13, the Carbon Cross Country team headed to the Region 10 meet in Park City. The Dinos made a very strong showing with the girls taking second place and the boys grabbing third.
Park City's home course has the first two miles of steady uphill and the last mile rolling up and down. For the Lady Dinos, Regan Powell had the best race of the season and her career. She placed fourth overall and was the only one that broke up Park City's dominant top seven. She stopped them from a perfect score. She ran a time of 19:35, a new personal best for 5,000 meters. Powell was also was named to the All Region Squad. Rachel Goodrich also ran a personal best in a time of 20:44 finishing 9th overall. Both girls beat their previous times on this course by over a minute.
"Park city was stunned to say the least that we were in there top seven," said Coach Telisse Allen.
Diana Olsen finished 12th overall and a new season best of 21:54. Kristen Jewkes had a strong second half of the race and finished in 15th in a time of 22:23. Karissa Nelson was 19th in a time of 23:28. This put all five Lady Dinos in the top 20.
"They finished second to Park city and beat Wasatch by five points. For not having a complete girls team nearly all season we surprised both Park city and Wasatch with our performance. That race moved Regan (Powell)and Rachel (Goodrich) into a top 20 ranking at state," Coach Allen added.
The Carbon boys finished a strong third. The boys shuffled the line up a bit this race. Austin Pullan crossed the finish first for Carbon in a overall place of 8th in a time of 17:19. Pullman received All Region honors.
Garrett Marsing was 11th in a time of 17:30, Justin Hepworth was 16th in a time of 17:47, Cody Hunt was 22nd in a time of 18:20, Kaleb Kulow was the fifth and final Carbon runner to cross the line and add to the team score. He ended in 24th with a time of 18:36.
Coach Allen added, "We were not far off Wasatch in points. We plan to get them at State when the numbers are on our side. Honorable mention for me was Brenden Hepworth who finished eighth for the Carbon team and shattered his career best by over two minutes in a time of 19:51."
Both the Dino boy's and girl's teams will continue onto the state meet on Oct. 22 at Sugarhouse Park.

WASHINGTON — In a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor (R-Va.) listed the beliefs he said united Republicans, urging them not to "confuse tactics with principles."
"The differences between us are dwarfed by the differences we have with the Democratic Party," he declared.
But in the Capitol's halls, as bruised and defeated Republicans discussed what had befallen them, those internal divisions seemed only to widen.
"It's pretty hard when we have a circle of 20 people who stand up every day and say, 'Can we surrender today, Mr. Speaker?'" said Rep. Tim Huelskamp (R-Kan.), referring to moderate Republicans in the House.
Rep. Charlie Dent (R-Pa.), one of those centrists, countered that he was merely a "truth teller."
"Some people have a hard time when others state the obvious," he said, noting that Republicans cannot enact major legislation without support from Democrats, who control the Senate. "We might as well accept that reality and deal with it."
The 16-day government shutdown drew to a close Wednesday night as the House prepared to approve a Senate-passed budget compromise. But even as Congress was ending the shutdown and averting the prospect of the government defaulting on its debts, the volume of political recriminations was growing.
Republicans had initiated the confrontation last month hoping to block or delay President Obama's healthcare law. Having failed in that effort and with their internal divisions vividly exposed, they spent Wednesday in a furious round of finger-pointing in both chambers.
"Everybody is frustrated. We got to put Humpty Dumpty back together again," said Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.).
House Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), who has been unable to unite his troops, did not appear in danger of losing his post, in part because no challenger has stepped forward to try to take the job.
But relations between the party's moderates and tea party conservatives are raw. Both sides — but particularly tea party conservatives and advocacy groups — have threatened to try to stage primary challenges to unseat incumbents.
"If anybody should be kicked out, it probably is those Republicans — and not Speaker Boehner — who are unwilling to keep the promises that they made to the American people," said Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho), a leader of the House's ardent conservatives, many of them recently elected.
Many conservatives, such as Rep. Matt Salmon (R-Ariz.), a veteran of the last government shutdown who returned to Congress this year, seemed satisfied with Boehner's leadership.
"I think he personally did a phenomenal job trying to deal with very disparate feelings and emotions and ideas and opinions," he said. "While I may still have disagreements with him, he's earned my respect."
Some moderates, by contrast, said they were increasingly unhappy with the leadership's willingness to placate the party's right wing.
"I felt like I needed to give my leaders the flexibility that they were asking for," said Rep. Aaron Schock (R-Ill.), calling himself part of a silent majority in the GOP ranks. "I'm going to be less likely to give them that flexibility … if we're going to go along with some of these tactics that I don't think are going to be successful."
In the Senate, Republicans who wrested control of the budget fight from the House to reach a bipartisan compromise expressed frustration that their House colleagues had picked a fight over Obamacare that they could not win. They worried conservatives might do the same all over again.
"We've been saying from the beginning, 'What is the endgame? How does this end? How do you achieve what you are purporting to achieve on defunding Obamacare?'" Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) said.
"If they are saying that the defunding issue is going to come up again in three months, then they have learned nothing from this."
The animosity stirred up by the intraparty conflict over the anti-Obamacare strategy led by tea party Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) broke out in the form of speeches on the Senate floor.

Jets tryout Norwegian kicker
Jordan , TheJetsBlog.com
Jets tried out Harvard Rugland. He's a Norwegian kicker that makes insane trick shots.
All I have to say is wow. When you watch this video you're not going to believe the kicks the dude makes. I really wouldn't mind seeing him in green & white. Maybe he can play QB?
Rugland had this to say: "It went well," Rugland told Norwegian broadcaster NRK. "They tested me on field goals and kickoffs. Obviously you feel a little more pressure here, but I stayed pretty calm.

As France's socialist government gears up to push for the legalization of same-sex marriage, the French people are fighting back. On January 13 a crowd estimated at around 500,000 took to the streets surrounding Paris' Eiffel Tower to show their support for traditional marriage and their opposition to normalizing homosexual relationships as "marriage."
Reuters News reported that the massive, half-million-strong crowd marched through the streets of Paris on Sunday, January 13, demanding that Socialist President Francois Hollande withdraw a "reform bill" that would legalize same-sex marriage and give homosexual couples adoption rights. Opponents are demanding a national debate on the issues.
Many participants said that the protest was aimed at the government's apparent refusal to budge on its plans to push through the legislative measures, and the huge crowd was fueled by the government's intransigence. The display did not move government leaders, with Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, the socialist government's women's affairs minister, telling Reuters that the plan to pass the reform bill through parliament by June 1 would continue as scheduled. "The government is totally determined to achieve … this historic progress that is not the victory of one camp over another, but progress for the whole society," she said. "We take note of the demonstration, but this will be discussed in parliament and not in the street."
Interior Minister Manuel Valls mirrored the government's position, telling France's Le Monde that "we always thought the turnout would be strong and it was.... All the more reason to stay focused on the goal of passing the law."
French law already allows same-sex civil unions, but during his presidential campaign, Hollande pledged to deliver marriage to gays, as well as adoption rights.
Opposition parties, by contrast, expressed their resistance to the move, with Jean-Francois Cope, president of the UMP (Union for a Popular Movement), telling Reuters that the protest represented a major obstacle for Hollande, showing that there are "clearly millions of French people who are probably concerned by this reform."

At least one north country Democrat wouldnt have voted for the state gun control measures signed into law last week: U.S. Rep. William L. Owens.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed into law sweeping gun reform legislation that, among other things, caps magazine capacity at seven rounds, bans the sale of assault weapons and requires background checks on all ammunition sales.
Im sure I would not have voted for Governor Cuomos bill, Mr. Owens, D-Plattsburgh, said Friday.
But Mr. Owens thinks its possible to reach compromise if people sit down and have a conversation about gun law reform.
He said President Barack H. Obamas extensive gun law reform package unveiled this week is a good place to start the discussion.
Mr. Obamas proposals include a universal background check on gun buyers, a ban on assault weapons and a limit on magazine capacity to 10 rounds.
Everyone agrees that we have to prevent, to the maximum extent that we can, anything like Sandy Hook from happening again, Mr. Owens said, referring to the Dec. 14 massacre in Connecticut that killed 27 people, most of them children.
I think were seeing some consensus on the issue of background checks, which I think is a good thing, Mr. Owens said.
He cautioned, however, that details on federal propsals are still very much in the dark.
Acknowledging that roughly 40 percent of guns in the United States are purchased from private dealers, thus avoiding background checks, Mr. Owens said universal background checks are crucial to preventing future massacres.
That is the pre-eminent issue that needs to be debated and acted upon, he said.
But other measures are not likely to get the congressmans support.
Its highly unlikely, unless a compromise was reached, that I would vote in favor of an assault weapons ban and a magazine ban. There are hundreds of thousands of those weapons as well as hundreds of thousands of magazines out there. You wouldnt be stopping the problem, Mr. Owens said.
And Mr. Owens said he isnt feeling any pressure from within the district to push for further gun control. Mr. Owens is one of only two Democrats in Congress to have received an A-plus rating from the National Rifle Association.
It reflects the district, Mr. Owens said of the rating. We have a lot of folks up here who are hunters, sportsman – we dont want to infringe their ability to enjoy the sport they like.
He said the debate at the federal level is a lot different than discussions about the recent changes in state law.
The gun ownership issue is more complex because its a constitutional right, Mr. Owens said.

When you think of Louisiana, what images come to mind? Cypress trees festooned with Spanish moss draped lazily over a slow-moving bayou? Fearsome-looking alligators lying in the shade along the banks of a muddy waterway? Lively Cajun fiddlers and accordionists playing their melodic instruments and singing sweet love ballads in the French idiom?
If you answered "all of the above" you would have all the elements and more of the Louisiana Swamp Festival held annually at the world-renowned Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. The Louisiana Swamp Festival, or Swamp Fest for short, is being held over the weekend of November 3-4. The festival features Cajun food, music, crafts and other unique contributions introduced by the state's earliest settlers and carried on for many generations right up to the present.
With more square miles of wetlands than any other state in the Union, Louisiana and its centuries-old culture have revolved around the swamps and bayous ever since the first French and Cajun settlers arrived in the 1700s. And, in a state that hosts more festivals than any other, it should surprise no one to learn that there is a festival celebrating the swamp culture that evolved here.
At this year's Swamp Fest you will see your favorite swamp critters, especially alligators, some of which have grown to over 10-12 feet in length. You'll get to chow down on popular Cajun food delicacies like jambalaya, gumbo, fried alligator, boudin, crab cakes with crawfish sauce, catfish po-boys, crawfish bread, cracklins (fried pork skins) and much more from some of the best New Orleans restaurants and caterers in Southern Louisiana.
And, of course, no New Orleans festival would be complete without a healthy helping of Louisiana Cajun music and its hybrid offspring, Zydeco. Some of the top performers in the Cajun and Zydeco genres will perform for your entertainment and, if you don't know how to already, experienced dance instructors will teach you the "Cajun Two-Step." Here is this year's schedule of performers:
Saturday, November 3

11:45am – 12:05pm – Zydeco Dance Lessons (Capital One Stage)
In addition to being renowned for its food and music, Cajun culture also abounds in artistic creativity. Genuine Louisiana arts and crafts will be sold throughout the Zoo with a showcase of cypress wood furniture, one-of-a-kind Louisiana paintings, woven cypress baskets, colorful and realistic-looking duck carvings and more. This is your chance to bring home a piece of Louisiana's heritage with one or more of these unique Cajun creations.
At the Louisiana Swamp Festival you can learn more about the Cajun culture with special animal feedings and hands-on encounters, in addition to pirogue-building and wildfowl carving presentations in the zoo's award-winning Louisiana Swamp Exhibit. Cajun storytellers will regale you with eerie tales of the Loup Garou, the werewolf of the swamps, and other legends and myths that have been handed down for hundreds of years.

At each of our hospitals, you'll find innovative skin cancer treatments and technologies—all under one roof. Our skin cancer experts use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools, including advanced imaging and laboratory tests, to evaluate skin cancer. This diagnostic evaluation takes about three to five days.
Then together, we develop a comprehensive skin cancer treatment plan that works for you. Your individualized plan will include advanced medical treatments and technologies, combined with integrative oncology services to help reduce side effects and keep you strong in body, mind and spirit.
Potential skin cancers are first examined visually. Your doctor or dermatologist will first examine the area, noting its size, shape, color and texture, as well as any bleeding or scaling. Your doctor may also examine nearby lymph nodes to see if they are enlarged. At this point, if you are being seen by a primary care physician, you may be referred to a dermatologist who can perform more specialized tests and make an accurate squamous cell carcinoma diagnosis.
A dermatologist may use a special microscope or magnifying lens to examine the suspicious spot more closely, a process called dermatoscopy. They may also take a digital or photographic image of the spot.
Within the first two days of your arrival at our hospital, we will perform a complete array of diagnostic tests, and thoroughly review your medical records and health history.
We understand that waiting for test results can create a great deal of stress. To ease anxiety and help you begin your breast cancer treatment sooner, we provide reduced wait times for appointments and test results.

COCO MADEMOISELLE is the modern embodiment of the spirit of Gabrielle Chanel, a light, sensual fragrance, seductive and distinctively modern. A subtle blend that emphasises the fierce independence of a sexy, captivating woman. Jacques Polge, the creator of this fragrance, describes it better than anybody : "In the top notes, I have moved away from the classic citrus notes of COCO, and kept only the freshness, however a more abstract freshness. In the middle notes, the COCO rose is a honey rose, the COCO MADEMOISELLE rose is a morning rose. The base notes of COCO express a sensual, voluptuous femininity. Here I have brought out a casual, sexy charm, lighter and with a hint of masculinity ".
Fresh, Oriental.
Top notes : Sicilian Orange, Calabrian Bergamot.Middle notes : Morning Rose note, Oriental Jasmine.Base notes : Indonesian Patchouli, Haitian Vetiver, Vanilla from Réunion, White Musk note.

By DEBBIE PAPPASCarbonville
I am responding to the letter in the Tuesday, Jan. 4 issue of the Sun Advocate titled "Maybe test would help".
I am Debbie Pappas, the rehabilitator over Second Chance Wildlife Rehabilitation. I just wanted to say that a test as suggested in the letter would not help this situation. These actions are taken by cowards. These people have no regard for wildlife or anything weaker than they. Educating them about endangered animals or taking a test will not change their ethics. These people are not hunters or sportsmen. They are just as Mr. Wheeler put it, "dastardly people" and I guarantee that they know the laws and know exactly what they're shooting at. They just don't care.
This is not the first animal that I have had in rehabilitation that has been shot or poisoned and unfortunately, it won't be the last since these type of people pass their morals (or lack thereof) onto their children. Educating children about these issues does help (I believe), but the problem will continue and in rural areas, it is much worse than in other areas.
For the readers information, the hawk in the story that Mr. Wheeler wrote the letter about has had to put up with three surgeries to date and will have to have at least two more. She's less than a year old and already had to endure a great deal of pain and stress, all because of someone who doesn't respect life and the law.

Christine L. Davenports questions about the paranormal arose after an incident involving an iPod that was mysteriously propelled across a room.
The answers were discovered in her attic in rolled up scrolls dated from the 1800s.
Mrs. Davenport was one of the about a dozen attendees of a paranormal town hall meeting hosted earlier this month at Flower Memorial Library sponsored by the Parascience Journal, an Internet radio show hosted by Evans Mills resident George D. Stadalski.
A few of the attendees, like Mrs. Davenport, brought along their paranormal stories.
Hers began shortly after moving into an old house on state Route 180 between Stone Mills and LaFargeville in 2007.
She was unpacking from her move from Stockton, Calif. Her children were at school, her boyfriend was at work and her dogs were outside in a fenced-in area. She had the music style she loves, punk rock, blaring from her iPod, which was plugged into a mini stereo unit in a corner of another room.
The music suddenly stopped.
I thought, Gee, thats odd, Ms. Davenport said.
When she got to the room, she saw the iPod unit was tipped over. I thought maybe the house bounced or something. I repositioned it real good, she said.
She continued her tasks. But the music stopped again. Entering the room again, she discovered the unit was unplugged. She plugged it back in and continued her unpacking.
The music stopped for a third time. When she entered the room, she said she found her iPod unit was three feet across the floor and unplugged from the wall.
There was no tremor in the house to make (the unit) be over there, Mrs. Davenport said at the town hall meeting. That kind of made me feel a little bit odd.
She got the sense that somebody didnt like the music she was playing.
You feel, Sorry! Ill play different music! she said.
Over time, Mrs. Davenport sensed an unusual feeling whenever she walked by the corner where the iPod had been plugged in.
And I kind of started to get these impressions, she said.
That impression, which she couldnt shake, was of a woman who wore her hair in a bun with a bonnet. She was looking out of the window in the corner, gazing in a certain direction.
I even told friends and family members that feeling; that somebody sad was looking out that window, Ms. Davenport said. I had people say theyve felt things in different houses that I didnt feel. I never really thought too much about it.
That changed when a work crew was putting insulation in her attic last spring.
The guys came down and said, We found something, she said.
It was two old scrolls rolled up, dated from the 1850s. One was a charcoal sketch. It was unrolled and the woman in her vision, complete with a bonnet, was revealed, she said.
I was tripped out, Ms. Davenport said.
The other is a funeral notice/poster that says in part, In loving remembrance of my dear father & mother. It notes the deaths of Hiram Mitchell, who died at age 74 in 1882, and his wife, Ann, who died in 1885 at the age of 77. Times files say they were Jefferson County pioneers.
Within sight of her house, Ms. Davenport said, is a graveyard for the Mitchell family.
Ms. Davenport theorizes that the woman in her vision was Mrs. Mitchell.
That woman sat in that window after her husband died, mourning his loss, and looking at his grave, she said.
In 1958, the Mitchell homestead became the first farm in Jefferson County to be recognized by the New York State Agricultural Society as a Century Farm, noting that it had been continuously owned for at least 100 years by the same family. Ms. Davenport believes the home was finally sold out of the Mitchell family in 1998.
Since the discovery of the scrolls, Ms. Davenport hasnt experienced anything unusual in the house.
Its all positive energy, she said. Everybody loves the house when they come in now. I figured whoever might have been there, or whatever essence was there, is now satisfied.
Mr. Stadalski, who as a member of the Region 7 Paranormal Research team performs paranormal investigations in the Northeast, focusing on Central, Western and Northern New York, said he is working with Ms. Davenport to schedule an investigation at her property. Ms. Davenport said she plans to have three independent paranormal investigations of the house.
focusing on science
Mr. Staldalski hosted the town hall meeting to gather topics for his Parascience Journal, which is heard at 7 p.m. Tuesdays on the Global Radio Alliance. The focus of the show is the scientific method and how it can be incorporated into investigating the paranormal.
Mr. Stadalski told the approximately dozen who attended the town hall meeting that science is the key to investigating paranormal experiences. He said its more than using high-tech equipment at investigations.
The scientific method is there to help us along the way, Mr. Stadalski said. Its not just setting up fancy equipment and standing in the dark. You have to formulate a hypothesis and come up with an experiment followed by peer review.
He said that paranormal television shows have brought more people into the field.
They are going out and basically mimicking what theyve seen on TV, Mr. Stadalski said of the new investigators. Thats a great start. But I think the key to do something right is to educate yourself.
When answers are discovered about certain paranormal activities, Mr. Staldaski said the results may be surprising.
I think were going to find out some of the answers were looking for, but I think a lot of the stuff were going to find out, when we do figure it out, is going to be completely different from what we thought it was, he said. Its going to be something in a total different direction.
paranormal portal
At the town hall meeting, Sherry L. Pennock, Watertown, shared several photographs she took on her property, which contains, she said, some sort of paranormal portal or a brief dimensional window that shows what once was and that still exists in another realm.
The digital photos Ms. Pennock took on her property contain wispy shapes and forms often called ecto-mist by investigators. Subjects she saw in the photos range from horses, a fetus and a 20-foot guy standing on her garage.
Ms. Pennock, who lives in a residential area on Washington Street hill, said she started getting the images about a year-and-a-half ago.
She noted that she is a paranormal investigator and was preparing to investigate other locations when she was readying her camera on her porch.
I was setting the night vision, and I started getting stuff, Ms. Pennock said four days after the town hall meeting.
She claimed other people have taken photographs on her property and gotten the same effects.
I always believed, always sensed things, but never actually took a picture of it, Ms. Pennock said. I didnt know you could until I started doing it.
She said two of her photos won first and second places at the 2012 Jefferson County Fair in the digital art category.
Ms. Pennock also sells calendars of her work, but said shes not motivated by financial gain.
I havent really made any money on it, she said.
She added, Its only going to be a matter of time before I have a stockpile of video. Ive got a full-spectrum camcorder that has infrared and ultraviolet.
Mr. Stadalski said he couldnt explain Ms. Pennocks photographed phenomena, but noted there is one theory that when a digital camera cant register an image correctly, it creates an orb of confusion.
Im not saying the orbs arent real, Mr. Stadalski said. Im saying this is what I know about them. Im not saying that any one thing is right or any one thing is wrong because Im not qualified to do that. I like looking at everything and seeing all of it and trying to gain a better understanding.

Brownfields Project Completed in West Fresno
In September 2012, EPA completed an Implementation Plan for an Urban Garden in West Fresno (PDF) (33 pp,1.5M). The plan responded to a request from the Fresno Youth Council for Sustainable Development, part of the Center for Multicultural Cooperation to help them establish an urban garden. The plan shows the process the youth used to pick a site and the next steps needed to turn the site into a garden. EPA Region 9 will be conducting an assessment on the parcel to see if there are any contamination concerns. For more information, visit EPA's Brownfield to Urban Agricultural site.
In January 2011, the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Fresno (Fresno RDA) received technical assistance from the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to conduct brownfields training and capacity building community forums involving local community groups. The primary purpose of the community forums was to inform an Action Plan for community-led brownfields reclamation in West Fresno.
Despite having the impacts of decades of public and private disinvestment, West Fresno possesses strong civic, cultural and physical assets upon which revitalization can build. As with many communities around the country, despite the strong social and cultural assets present, the physical and economic environments reflect the negative impacts of disinvestment in many ways including but not limited to brownfields and other environmental challenges.
The goal of the EPA technical assistance is to improve awareness on brownfields issues and to increase the capacity of West Fresno community organizations and citizens to organize and facilitate community-led revitalization of brownfield properties in West Fresno in a manner consistent with their priorities and needs. Central to this assistance is the notion that brownfields can be the focal point for strategic community collaboration whose outcomes catalyze larger revitalization.

As the new administration continues to pursue individuals and institutions who it believes are implicated in hiding assets from the IRS, President Obama has explained the process will boost economic growth and jobs at home.
A statement issued by the White House says the current tax code offers a competitive advantage to companies that invest and create jobs overseas and provides opportunities to avoid taxes through offshore tax havens.
To prove that, it cites statistics indicating that almost one-third of all foreign profits reported by U.S. corporations in 2003 came from just three countries, namely Bermuda, the Netherlands and Ireland, known for their low tax levels.
To remedy the situation, Obama has proposed replacing tax advantages for investing overseas with incentives to do so at home by reforming deferral rules that give tax breaks to those who reinvest overseas.
He has also vowed to continue to "get tough" on overseas tax havens.
"It is the downpayment on the larger tax reform we need to make our tax system simpler and fairer and more efficient for individuals and corporations," the president said at a joint news conference with Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner.
The White House estimates the plan will save around $200 billion over the next decade and will discourage companies from enhancing their foreign operations at the expense of creating American jobs.

By Larry CarterGreen River
I debated as to writing this opinion letter due to my experience with the media in the past. I am a Viet Nam veteran and while serving my country found the media to be a very unfriendly profession to the soldiers who were fighting for their freedom. The soldiers who fought were in their minds serving their country with their very lives, but came back to find anger and resentment against them due to the media coverage. I don't know of any one that was in that war that didn't come back with either a mental, physical or emotional issue.
Now for my opinion Patsy Stoddard wrote an opinion piece on Nov. 9 (Emery County Progress), stating "Emery County what have you done?" Rick Shaw wrote one on Nov. 16 (Sun Advocate and Emery County Progress), defending her right to publish her opinion. Ms. Stoddard's article was by the editor, and Mr. Shaw's was by a publisher. My point is their articles were 985 and 819 words long while those who took the time to respond to Ms. Stoddards piece in the Progress followed the guidelines of the opinion page of 350 words. A few went over but Mr. Geary's was 283 words, Mr. Johnson was 408 words and Mr.and Mrs. Dellos was 294 words. Why don't we all have basically the same rules, so that we stand on level ground?
As a veteran I took the right to vote very seriously, and to have someone insult my right makes me reflect on the day's right after Viet Nam. What gives you the right to question my decision or any other individual's decision when it comes to an election? You over stepped your position and you need to apologize to this county.
I was proud to see that approximately 60 percent of Emery County voted. Did you not see that all but one area in the whole county voted for Mr. Funk by majority, so please remember what elections stand for and not degrade our God given right of "For the people by the people."
This should have meaning to you, so shame on you because this is the way we do things in Emery County.
Proud to be a free American.

NEWPORT–Anna Bingham had a pair of goals and an assist to lead North Country (8-3-1) over Lyndon (1-10-1) 4-0, giving coach Joe Batista his 200th career victory.
"The first thing I want to do is thank Peter Alexander, who has been a JV coach and an assistant coach for me for years, and for the last few seasons he has been a co-coach," said Batista
"He is very knowledgeable and helps out tremendously on the defensive end of things. He and I have worked very well together and I want to give him a lot of credit.
North Country 1, Milton 0
MILTON– Mariah Roberts had the only goal of the contest as the Falcons (3-7-2)picked up their third win of the year, defeating D II Milton (3-8-1) 1-0.
"It was a phenomenal game," said coach Chantelle Bouchard. "The defense was outstanding. Everyone played their positions and backed each other up when they had to."
After a scoreless first, Roberts knocked in the winner at 11:36 of the second half to give North Country the win.
Danielle Gabucci had six saves in the game for the Falcons.
NEWPORT–Jade Piette scored four minutes into overtime to give the UCA girls (2-7-2) their second victory of the season, a 3-2 win over Concord (2-7-1).
"I feel amazing," said coach Molly Smith. "These girls gave us everything. Now we are on a two game winning streak and this is my team."
The Lady Crusaders were the aggressors early in the contest, dominating the first half.
Amy DeLaBruere, who has ben playing both up front and back on defense this year, scored the first UCA goal in the thirtieth minute of the half.
NEWPORT–UCA scored two goals in the opening fifteen minutes and never looked back, defeating Mid-Vermont 2-1 on Thursday.
"It was nice to get a win and break our tie streak," said coach Alyssa DeLaBruere. "I'm glad we scored early because we can rely on our defense to hold a lead."
Justin Limoge and Ji Kim teamed up for the contest's opening tally just ten minutes into the first.
Limoge found Kim, who let a bullet fly, beating goalie Austin Sayers.
"Overall I think we played as a team and guys were passing and trying to set each other up for a goal," said Kim.
NEWPORT–With heavy rains falling and field conditions poor at best, North Country (3-7-1) battled through and defeated BFA St. Albans (2-8-1) 1-0 in a much needed win.
"We are feeling great," said coach James McKenny. "The boys deserved it, bouncing back from Mount Mansfield. Coach (Stanley) and I see these guys every day and we know what they put in to it and it is rewarding to see them get the win in front of the home crowd."
ORLEANS–Tyrah Urie had three goals and Tori Adams had the other as Lake Region (10-2) cruised to the 4-0 win over Winooski (2-9) on Tuesday afternoon.
While the win was nice, Ranger coach Brad Urie sees a trend forming with his team that has him concerned.
"We play poorly in the first half and then play pretty well in the second," said Urie. "If you look at our scoring, that is what we do. I don't know why we stay in such a funk, but hopefully we fix that before the end of the year."
Much like Urie said, the girls in white got off to a slow start against the Spartans.
Staff Reports
THETFORD–With the rain having soaked the course, the fifty-two boys and forty-one girls teams were faced with less than ideal conditions for the 2012 Wood's Trail Run on Saturday.
The race featured some of the top teams in New England and New York.
Both Lake Region and North Country were at the race and had a respectable showing.
NCU finished 18th/52 teams (507 points) on the boys side and 32nd/41 teams (833 points) on the girls side.
Alex Cotnoir crossed the line first for the boys team in 62nd place (24th Vermonter– 18:36).
NEWPORT–The final varsity game of the Maniatty weekend saw the North Country (6-3-1) and U-32 (4-2-3) girls battle it out in front of a loud and supportive mix of Falcon Faithful and Raider Nation.
The weather would go from wet, to dry, from cold to warm, back to cold but try as they might, neither team could break the 1-1 deadlock, so after 100 minutes of action, the two teams were forced to settle for the tie.
"We had a good effort," said coach Peter Alexander. "There was a little too much kickball, but they played hard and it was a gutsy effort."
NEWPORT–North Country (2-7-1) and Mount Mansfield (8-2) engaged in one slobber-knocker of a soccer game on Friday afternoon.
Bodies flying, yellow cards, red cards, screaming and yelling; It was awesome.
Sadly the Falcons lost the match in OT 2-1, but they got their money's worth out of the Cougars, that is for sure.
"It's a tough loss," said coach James McKenny. "They (MMU) capitalized when they needed to and that is the way the game goes. They have to feel pretty lucky getting out of here with a win."
NEWPORT–They say practice makes perfect, but while they are not perfect, nor did they get the win, the North Country football team's hard work paid off as they had their best showing in four weeks, breaking a three game scoreless streak in a 55-20 loss to Bellows Falls on Friday night.
"We made some adjustments and kept drilling them all week and it is starting to pay off," said head coach Tim Simoneau.
Jason Hatin returned to the Falcon line-up, but it was Jacob Buckles under center as North Country started the first series of the game from their own thirty.

Radiation uses high-energy X-rays or other particles to kill cancer cells. For Hodgkin disease, the radiation comes from a machine that is directed to the outside of your body. This is called external radiation.
For this treatment, you see a radiation oncologist. This doctor specializes in the use of radiation to kill cancer cells. This doctor decides how often you need radiation and at what dose.
Usually, you will receive external radiation therapy five days a week for several weeks. Most people with Hodgkin disease go to the hospital or clinic every day, excluding weekends, for this treatment. The person who gives you the radiation is a radiation therapist. The experience is a lot like getting an X-ray, only it takes longer.
Your doctor may recommend radiation if the cancer is limited to one place in your body or to a few places that are close to each other. It is also usually part of the treatment (along with chemotherapy) if the Hodgkin disease has grown into a large or bulky tumor mass, usually in the chest. Most people who have radiation for Hodgkin disease have already had successful short-course chemotherapy. You will have radiation directed where there is (or was) a tumor.
Radiation therapy affects normal cells as well as cancer cells. Side effects of radiation depend on the part of your body being treated. Here are some of the common side effects:
Red, dry, and itchy skin
Feeling tired
Dry mouth
Lowered blood cell counts
Because radiation irritates and sensitizes the skin, you should avoid direct sun exposure or cover the skin and use sunscreen for a period of time during and after radiation.
Long-term side effects depend on the part of your body being treated. One of the most serious is an increased risk of other cancers in the part of your body getting radiation. Radiation can also cause long-term damage to certain organs. For example, radiation to the chest can damage the thyroid gland or the heart.
Talk with your doctor and nurse about both short- and long-term side effects.

It might look like Apple has its hands full with out of control iPhone 5 sales and an impending iPad mini launch, but they have made time to put a couple of great new iPod models together. Apple has just hit us with a seventh-generation iPod nano and a fifth generation iPod touch.
At a glance, you might mistake the iPod touch for the iPhone 5. The new iPod touch uses the same 4-inch display and is exactly the same height as the iPhone 5, making it taller than the iPhone 4/4S and all previous touch devices. With its loop button and wrist strap in place, it looks like a really thin digital camera.
The iPod touch has Apple's dual core A5 chipset, with twice the processing power and up to seven times the graphical abilities of the last touch. This chipset is more than enough to keep iOS 6 in the groove. It really shines when it comes to gaming and multimedia apps. The 5th-gen is available in 32 GB and 64GB versions. This touch also gives you Siri, Apple Maps, the new Facebook integration, and AirPlay Mirroring.
The iPod nano is the most frequently redesigned Apple product. This nano is smaller than the palm of your hand, but twice as long as the last nano version. It definitely is a stripped-down mini music player. It's a typically Apple-slick device, but it does little more than play audio files.
In one of the first nano reviews, The Verge noted that the lack of iCloud capability keeps users stuck in the traditional iPod setup of having to manage their music files via iTunes, a concept dating back over decade.
As The Verge report put it, "It's like taking a time machine to 2010. If you're cool with managing files, the new iPod nano is the best dedicated music player on the market. It's the sort of product that only Apple can make; a seamless slice of metal and plastic that feels essentially inevitable once you hold it."
Just like the iPhone 5, the new iPods use the tiny Lightning jack. Be warned, neither model ships with an AC adapter. You'll need to charge them up using your computer or through a USB-based AC adapter.

Balancing quality and economy, the Silverstar formulation provides a firm foundation for this Tama kick drum.
The Tama Silverstar Bass Drum delivers the quality and sound you expect from more expensive drums, but at a price that you can afford. Using tried and true methods and materials, Tama has produced the highest quality instrument possible, with you in mind. And with a wide variety of drum sizes, you have an open ended sonic palate to create the new sound of your dreams. 100% birch, 7-ply and 8mm shells make this a bass drum for the creative musician. Silverstar drums combine tradition, excellence, and affordability to give you everything you want in a kit.
Only carefully selected birch materials are utilized for the shells in the Silverstar series. By using the same molding methods used for our high-end drums, a powerful sound, rich tone, and warm resonance usually only found with high-end drums are achieved.
The claw hooks stabilize the wood hoops on bass drums and feature built-in rubber lining which helps protect the wood and maintain tuning even during long performances. Also, the new rubber spacers help protect the die-cast zinc claw hooks and tension bolts from damage when the bass drum is placed on the ground.
The Silverstar sound just got a bit more polished. Order today!

No matter what you're after, chances are this island has got it! You'll soon understand why this happening hub draws people from all walks of life, from jetsetters to backpackers. In your free time, head into Mykonos town and wander through the maze of tiny streets lined by whitewashed, cube-shaped houses. Maybe grab a table for lunch in the village and feast on fresh local specialties, like olives, feta and tzatziki dip. Chill for the afternoon with friends on the island's world famous beaches and cool off in the azure waters. Wrap up the day with a drink at one of Mykonos' hip bars and watch the sun go down. But don't stop there, toast the start of the cruise back on board and hit the ship's nightclub with the group
- Visit Mykonos town & see the traditional Cycladic-style houses
In the morning, wake up to the Turkish port town of Kusadasi. Rummage through the Grand Bazaar and go local bargaining for leather goods, jewellery or local crafts.

Choose an optional excursion to the Palace of Knossos where our Local Guide will tell you the story of this 4000 year old mythical Minoan Palace, where the minotaur (half-man/half-bull) was slain.
Next up: Santorini. This island will make your jaw drop with its stunning natural beauty – the result of a massive volcanic eruption. From the water look up at the iconic blue–domed, whitewashed churches.
Once we're back on land, head up the cliff and the twisting stone steps, save your breath on a donkey ride or take it easy in the cable car for views of neighbouring volcanic islands.
Your Rep will fill you in on Fira – dramatically perched on the edge of the crater - as the group explores its narrow streets. Get tips on the best places to pick up a piece of Santorini's famous jewellery and where to try out the delicious local speciality, domatoktedes (fried tomato balls).
