The world's top potash producers may abandon attempts to rein in output to keep prices high, switching to a strategy of ramping up sales as they face rising competition and big buyers of fertilizer take an increasingly aggressive stance.
Such a shift would change the game for the giant North American and Russian-Belarusian producers, which export the fertilizer through Canpotex Ltd and Belarusian Potash Co,
Instead of reining in output to support prices, and then selling potash to big buyers in contracts that set a benchmark for other deals, the miners might maximize sales through marketing organizations in what some see as a throwback to cartels of the past for commodities such as coffee, rubber and tin.
By boosting sales volume, the established producers could drive down prices to the point where opening new potash mines might make no sense for competitors.
Canpotex and BPC account for about 70 percent of world exports. If that dropped to 50 percent as competitors open new mines, "reasonable economic players" will simply not implement the current strategy stressing price rather than volume, Vladislav Baumgertner, chief executive of Russia's Uralkali OAO, told Reuters in an email.
"In this situation, we will look more like traditional industries: the main competitive advantage will be the production costs and the cost of capacity expansion," he said, warning that the addition of any more potash from newly opened mines could overload the market.
Canpotex and BPC, and the producers behind them, face supply challenges from new mines planned by BHP Billiton Ltd, K+S AG and a raft of junior players, as well as pressures from buyers smelling an opportunity to seek deals on more favorable terms.
But Baumgertner said he doubted that many of the proposed mines will get built, because potash prices are too low to make them viable.
Demand for potash, a nutrient that improves yields of corn, rice, palm and other crops, boomed in the past decade as diets and incomes improved in developing countries and demand for food rose.
Prices soared in 2008, prompting an unsuccessful, $39 billion bid for Potash Corp of Saskatchewan, the world's biggest producer by capacity, from global mining giant
BHP Billiton.
They fell back in 2009 and bottomed out in 2010 as farmers balked at sky-high prices. Potash recovered modestly in 2011 before drifting lower last year. While most in the industry continue to see strong demand growth long into the future, some question whether there is too much new capacity being readied, a case that has gained momentum with the current lackluster
Spot prices for potash are now around $460 per tonne, well below the price of $550-$600 that Mike Wilson, CEO of No. 3 Canadian producer Agrium Inc, sees as needed if new entrants are to make money.
"Every one of these (potential rivals) are getting their capital cost reports and they're cringing," Wilson told Reuters in an interview. "They're sitting there choking."
A BHP spokesman declined to comment on what potash price it requires for the board to give final approval to its Jansen, Saskatchewan mine, but pointed out that hundreds of people
continue to work on building the project.
While the new mines pose big questions about the future of the market, the present hasn't been so hot either.
China and India, the two big importers whose purchases traditionally set a floor for global potash prices, stayed out of the market for much of 2012's second half, bruising Potash
Corp's balance sheets.
Deals that China and India eventually signed included steep discounts on big volumes, and the two are also taking small steps to loosen their dependence on Canpotex and BPC with deals to buy future mined potash from upstarts Prospect Global Resources Inc in Arizona and Karnalyte Resources Inc in Saskatchewan, respectively.
But existing producers still have advantages against new entrants, because it's cheaper to expand existing mines than to build new ones.
Shifting the priority to volume from price would be ironic for Potash Corp, given that concern about the BHP bid for Potash Corp centered partly on fears that BHP would not curb output and weaken Canpotex, which handles sales of Saskatchewan potash from Potash Corp, Agrium and Mosaic Inc.
BPC handles sales for Uralkali and Belaruskali.
"You've got to get some wind back in your sails to get prices back moving up," Potash Corp Chief Executive Bill Doyle said of his own company on a Jan. 31 analyst call. "Of course, the wind for us is volume. We focus so much on price, but you've got to have some volume coming back in the market."
Potash Corp shut several mines for weeks at a time this winter, seeking to match supply to demand.
But Agrium's Wilson said a lower price is no guarantee of extra sales. "We've got to strike the right balance," he said.
Canpotex member companies say they do not co-ordinate production to set prices, the traditional mark of a cartel. But they conduct off-shore sales and co-ordinate transportation
through Canpotex in an arrangement that critics say is cosy.
"It's not a clear-cut situation," said Mike Burt, director responsible for industrial economic trends at the Conference Board of Canada. "I can't really say what's going on inside the organization. The public statements are that the companies are setting their own production. But it's obviously a fairly close relationship."
He said the global potash trade might best be described as an oligopoly, dominated by Canpotex and BPC. It can be compared to the iron ore sector a few years ago, when a few big producers set market prices with Japanese steel buyers.
That situation changed when China became the world's dominant buyer, and BHP Billiton switched to a strategy of maximizing volume, establishing itself as the low-cost producer.
Canpotex declined requests for an interview.
Bargaining Clout
Canpotex and BPC struggled in 2012 to maintain their bargaining clout.
With China and India on the sidelines, North American potash supplies ballooned to 37 percent over the five-year average in December. And while Potash Corp does not see many of the planned mines getting built, it still expects global capacity to grow 24 percent to 77 million tonnes by 2017.
BHP is digging two mine shafts in Saskatchewan for what would be the world's biggest potash mine, ahead of a final board decision this summer. Germany's K+S started work on its mine in the Canadian province last summer. But Vale SA recently delayed projects in Canada and Argentina.
In a recent report, Scotiabank analyst Ben Isaacson said a volume-over-price strategy could help Potash Corp by frightening away competitors and reducing the per-tonne cost of production.
"Perhaps one of the most important benefits of dropping potash prices to the low $300s (per tonne) would be that the continued spending of capex by almost all greenfield sponsors
would no longer make sense. We believe the majority of greenfield projects, including many brownfield expansion projects, would be shelved," Isaacson wrote.
Among the big buyers, fertilizer companies and farmers in India would respond quickly if prices fell to compete better with urea, a more common nitrogen fertilizer, said a senior
official from an Indian fertilizer co-operative, who declined to be named.
But it is hard to predict what will happen. The Indian government plans to cut its fertilizer subsidy for 2013/14 to take advantage of lower potash prices.
Ultimately, whether potash producers change course depends largely on decisions in the boardrooms of potential rivals.
"It's tough for us to get a picture on when those projects will come to market," said Rick McLellan, Mosaic's senior vice-president of commercial sales. "Our strategies will develop
as new competitors enter."

The Dhamma is not for a layperson to sell because they need to "eat" I think the notion is rotten. No way can I see the Buddha giving sanction to such a thing. If the Dhamma isn't for the ordained to sell, it sure as heck isn't for laypeople to sell.
By which of course I am not saying that laypeople should not teach, or that there doesn't need to be recovery of costs for a retreat or meditation center. However, that's a separate matter from costs related to supporting the teacher.

Ok I am so confused! The doctor told me I look like I have epileptic seizures but he's not sure. The Keppra is working and I don't have anything but auras now for almost two weeks! He told me he has no idea so he's going to call it non-epileptic seizures but still give me keppra and all that. WHAT???? Will someone please explain to me what the heck is going on? Two EEGS are normal so what does this mean? I know that I have PTSD but I really don't think I am having psychogenic seizures. I know that can happen but it doesn't make sense for my situation. I have my PTSD issues well controlled with counseling and therapy. I am in the best part of my healing since I started therapy four years ago! I am happy he is keeping me on the keppra but at the same time I don't understand? I feel like he is giving up on me and basically telling me I have no idea why you are having seizures so I'm going to blame it on something else. If it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck isn't it a duck? I've had a friend who had to have five FIVE EEGS and they still don't know what is wrong with him but they said it was epilepsy finally after five of those tests! I don't want anymore of those tests. I feel fried and upset and jittery and not to mention having a seizure freaking hurts! Someone please tell me what to do? I know a seizure is still a seizure but in a way I feel like the doctor is just saying I don't know so here's some epilepsy medication and continue therapy. I wanted a definite answer because I am not sure... I thought it would help me cope better somehow. Am I just being overly emotional? Can anyone just tell me what to do?! I feel like my whole life is just up in the air because no one can give me a diagnosis. Has anyone ever been where I have been? if you have please tell me what you did and if you think I'm just being overly emotional you can tell me I won't get mad. I feel like my mom who doesn't have seizures is just not understanding me she just tells me why are you letting it bother you. I just wanted it in black and white and no one is giving that to me. I felt like if I had it in black and white then I could somehow cope. Is this normal to be so upset about this kind of diagnosis or rather unsure diagnosis?
Thanks for listening

UPDATE: Eagles reportedly fire Reid
Andy Reid will walk onto the field with his Philadelphia Eagles to begin Sunday's season finale against the New York Giants. The real question is, what will Monday bring?
Reid's 14-year coaching tenure is, by most accounts, at an end. His team struggled through the season and entered Sunday's road game 4-11. Most observers said it's a matter of when, not if, owner Jeffrey Lurie will make the call.
— Recap: Giants 42, Eagles 7 | Full Week 17 scoreboard | Playoff picture
"Black Monday," the day after the NFL regular season ends, traditionally is the day coaches are fired. Teams already are lining up possible replacements, so the best of the bunch will be hired as soon as New Year's Eve.
Reid made his intention clear last week. "I want to coach. That's what I want to do," Reid said Friday.
Teams believed to be ready to make a change include the San Diego Chargers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns. That's just the short list.
It would not be surprising to see Reid fired—or see him land with another team soon. The Chargers have been mentioned.
With so many teams in the market, it would behoove the Eagles to make their decision as soon as possible.
That plan is not without problems. Lurie knows Eagles players support Reid, and retaining him for a while would allow Reid a chance to set his charges on course for offseason work.
It's also worth remembering Lurie's close ties with Reid, and the simple fact the owner must pay his coach $5.5 million next season regardless of his employment status. Firing Reid would mean hiring a replacement, possibly at a similar salary.
Reid might know his fate after he walks off the field Sunday.
Both The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., and The Philadelphia Inquirer see scenarios for keeping Reid. And the Inquirer says GM Howie Roseman is likely to remain, because like Reid he has a contract that must be fulfilled regardless of employment status. Reid and Roseman could be bought out, but it's more likely Roseman would remain even if Reid is canned.
In a media meeting Friday, Lurie left himself an out on a coaching decision. Saying the season's outcome is unacceptable, he added: "There are always exceptions."
Reid could be the exception.

@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
Paul George :vomit:
Nice game from Danny, Roy, Lance, and Luis.
Stop quoting people I have on ignore!
Raptors, last I checked, begins with an "R". I vs T looks much more fun. I demand a mod makes these changes.
I want Toronto in the 2nd round
I think they end up as the 3 seed in the East. Now that they seem to have embraced the "winning" strategy as opposed to the "tanking" strategy, they are playing really good basketball. With Horford going down, the 3 seed is wide open. Why not the Raps? Played us hard twice in a week, beating us once, and played Miami hard. Plus they got rid of the Gay Cancer. Always a winning recipe.
Great overall game by our guys. So many contribution from different players tonight, including our bench guys Scola and Granger. Just enough to buffer PG's slump. Hope that PG gets an explosive game tomorrow.
We won. I'm happy.
Really hoping Paul gets over whatever this current "thing" is soon.
Hibbert sent Valanciunas to school. Utter domination down low.
I was going for any of the weird/funny/wrong adjectives. I got something right.
The beginning was looking like Roy was getting ready to foul out I'm glad he corrected and was able to stay in the game.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
I don't really get what everyone else sees in Valanciunas. In the games I have watched, he has looked wildly mediocre. Then again, in most of the Raptor games I've watched, he's been going against Hibbert.
Lance with another near triple double and some very sweet passing.
follow me @TruenoPanda - lets talk Pacers!
Anyone watching this George McGinnis special that came on FSI after the game? It's pretty good.
16,000 people came out to see the Pacers play Toronto with these ****** roads and low temps. I'm very happy to see that, and Toronto's Media Relations was impressed as well:
B.Viddy @B_Viddy 6 Jan
@RaptorsMR I hope ppl in Indy are allowed to drive to arena to watch u guys play tomorrow.
RaptorsMR @RaptorsMR 23h
@B_Viddy Small crowd could be to our advantage.
THE PACER MANIAC @TheSandman21 23h
"@RaptorsMR: Small crowd could be to our advantage." Oh #area55 and #g2zone... #challengeaccepted
RaptorsMR @RaptorsMR 22h
@TheSandman21 Hmmm.... don't recall issuing a challenge. Said "coud" be an advantage.
RaptorsMR @RaptorsMR 3h
@TheSandman21 Healthy crowd tonight from the hearty folks in Indy. Well done in the "home of basketball." One of my fav NBA stops.
Well ****ing done Pacer fans. Well ****ing done.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
Toronto's a good team, but we were able to weather the storm tonight. Loved what Lance brought tonight, and I thought Granger, Roy, and Scola were all real solid.
Size and wingspan? Check.
Fundamentals? Check.
Athleticism and mobility? Check.
Post moves and footwork? Check.
FT shooting? Check.
Defensive potential? Check.
But most importantly he had the willing to bang down low. He is a very tough kid that had the body of the Center and wanted to play like a Center. That wasn't the case for another very talented Lithuanin prospect, Donatas Motiejūnas. Donatas preferred to play in the perimeter but Jonas wanted to play inside. That's why he was a very effiicent player.
I was very high on him and I still am. He can create his own shot, he has a serviceable jumper (much like Roy) and he is a good finisher inside with good hands. I just don't think that Toronto has done a good job at developing him.

By the way I guess we can call off the Paul George MVP campaign.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
VERY impressed with turnout considering circumstances. I'm in the suburbs, and I can barely get out of my neighborhood. Roads still very bad here. Anyone who went: kudos! That's commitment.
Quick thoughts tonight...
1. This team is in a stretch where it's winning games on talent alone, but not exerting consistent effort. I thought defensive effort was there most of the night minus Ian reverting to Bad Ian a lot and Paul George just committing silly/lazy fouls. This team can win games on defense alone, but I'd sure like to see some work put into getting this offense out of its funk.
2. Danny Granger could really be huge for this team, huh?
3. I'm sure Vogel is already telling him this, but Paul George needs to take a deep breath and refocus his game on getting to the rim/line. Settling for way too many long jumpers. They fell earlier in the season. They're not now. I just don't want him to get cold in the playoffs/home stretch and forget the bread and butter of his offensive game.
4. It also occurs to me that this is the tallest team that seems to refuse to dunk or finish strong at the rim. I get that a lot of guys on this team just aren't built this way, but 2 or 3 times a game, the opportunity is there and the player just goes soft to the rim.
5. I think Roy Hibbert won this game, and that's really about as simple as it gets.
Couldn't have met a more humble and nicer guy...

Roy and Lance are sharing this Man of the Match award. They were absolutely crucial. Roy going 12/13 from the FT line was huge and I absolutely love that he can do it. Lance was amazing as usual. I wanted to see the offense run through him in the final minutes in order for him to get his well-earned triple-double but it didn't happen. Oh well, we can't have it all.
PG is in a mini-slump right now. He did a better job defensively but he fouled too much. He has to step it up a bit because opposing fans are starting to doubt him.
West was mediocre offensively but great defensively. He and Roy completely dominated Toronto's frontcourt.
Hill was great when he was playing aggressive in the first half. He was quiet in the second half, though. His defense on Lowry was good but it could have been better (Lowry shot over 50% and that's rare for PGs going up against Hill). He had a solid game overall.
Luis should have shot better tonight (4/11 is not bad but he can do better) and hit the boards hard. However, Patrick Patterson took the best of him on the other side of the court. Now, it's not his fault that Patrick caught fire from 3 (it happens sometimes) but that dunk in the 4th was just poor defense. Of course, Patterson is much more athletic than him so that blow-by is natural. All in all, he had a good game and I'm loving what he's giving us. He has been golden.
Danny was good. He shot 50% and he would have shot better if that 3 wasn't rescinded due to that off ball foul. He crashed the boards, he moved the ball and he was efficient. Good game for him and I'm glad that he seems able to handle 32 minutes. I don't want him to play so many minutes in a consistent basis since I want him fresh for the playoffs but it's nice to see that his body can handle it.
Ian was solid. He didn't foul a lot tonight. He was there when the Raptors made their run in the 4th but I don't think that I can attribute it to him.
CJ had a solid game as well. He hit all of his shots and played good defense on DeRozan at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.

Stanton credits Derby with restoring homer stroke
MIAMI -- Giancarlo Stanton may not have won the Home Run Derby, but the event helped the Marlins slugger regain his power form.
Stanton had been in a home run slump before the All-Star break. The 24-year-old snapped a drought of 75 plate appearances without a blast Friday night in Miami's 9-1 loss to the Giants at Marlins Park.
On Saturday, Stanton connected again, boosting his National League-leading total to 23.
"Having to lock in for the Derby made me feel better," Stanton said. "I wasn't myself the last couple of weeks. The short time off and the Derby kind of helped me out. I think it will be all right."
At the Home Run Derby, which took place last Monday at Target Field in Minnesota, Stanton belted the longest homer of the night. It sailed into the upper deck in left field, estimated at 510 feet.
Oakland's Yoenis Cespedes won the Derby, with Stanton being eliminated in the semifinals.
Throughout his career, Stanton has had the knack of belting home runs in bunches. He's also demonstrating his pure power. Off Madison Bumgarner on Friday night, his blast was measured at 466 feet by ESPN's Home Run Tracker website. The drive off Sergio Romo on Saturday was estimated at 417 feet.
In terms of distance, Stanton stands alone in the Majors. Of his 23 homers, 19 have been measured at more than 400 feet. His average distance is 425.3 feet, tops in the Majors. San Francisco's Michael Morse is second at 420.5 feet.
Often, you hear about the Home Run Derby negatively impacting a player's swing. In Stanton's case, the event helped.
"I had to lock in," the slugger said. "I had to get my swing in the perfect groove."

Aubrey McClendon's out!
But isn't that like saying Chesapeake's (CHK) out?
Aren't they synonymous?
I have to think that here's a company that's been built lock, stock and barrel by McClendon, and, like it or not, it's modeled in his image -- not anyone else's.
While Aubrey can't certainly be considered a gunslinger, can it really be as cut and dried as easy come, easy go?
Were his transgressions just enough to get him thrown out? Or was he tired of the lack of freedom from a real board that watched his every move?
I am sure we will find out soon enough.
Look, McClendon's cut from a different cloth. He always operated Chesapeake as a private company with public shareholders, taking huge gambles and giving himself J.R. Ewing perks.
He never played by everyone else's rules, although I think that if you bought the stock you pretty much figured that out.
Aubrey's tenure at Chesapeake will stand out for two reasons. One is the huge wager he placed on natural gas as a fuel for the future and two is the failure of that huge wager to pay off in his time with Chesapeake. In a way he was just too successful, singlehandedly discovering big prospects and exploiting them only to have their abundance and the abundance of other shales overwhelm the system, driving prices down to where his whole company became uneconomic.
Now McClendon has spent the last year trying to undo what he built without losing too much production and he had largely succeeded in his plan, which is why we need to know more about this departure.
But I will always consider McClendon as the great proselytizer for an industry that truly does need proselytizing.
On a personal note, I always liked Aubrey from the day I meet him several decades ago. I know that, judging by the publicity around some of his maneuvers, that probably doesn't sit well with many of you. But he told me early on, when no one ever thought it was possible, that we had enough natural gas in this country to transform the nation into an independent energy producer. As it is, we have enough oil and gas in the continent that we can already see independence in our sites.
I will always wonder if, somehow, the nation had embraced natural gas as a surface fuel Chesapeake would be riding high and McClendon riding higher still.
Instead, Chesapeake will have to go without him.
The cynic in me says that McClendon's leaving will mark the low in the price of natural gas.
But the optimist in me hopes that his vision of a natural-gas-fueled car-and-truck nation will eventually be realized even as it will not be a McClendon's Chesapeake that reaps the benefits.

Hibbert taking some large baby steps
Oct 14, 2008
It might seem odd for someone that stands 7-2 and weighs 278 pounds, but the key to Roy Hibbert's NBA career lies in his ability to keep taking baby steps.
His progress won't always be as obvious as it was Monday night, when he racked up 17 points, nine rebounds and three blocks in 23 minutes in a 103-95 loss in Memphis. But it must be steady and continuous. From all indications, he has the makeup to maximize his physical gifts
Hes a real worker and hes a student of the game, said Coach Jim OBrien. He wants to know what we want him to do very specifically and then he says, Ill do it, and then he does. He is learning quicker than most rookies because hes a very good listener, very good at questions, he studies the game and hes in remarkable condition.
Hibberts impressive outing followed up an 18-point showing from fellow rookie Brandon Rush in Fridays victory over Chicago. Though Rush struggled through a 3-of-11 night when thrust into the starting lineup for the first time due to injuries to Danny Granger (sprained left elbow) and Marquis Daniels (strained groin), Hibbert stepped forward.
I think I learned a lot from that game, Hibbert said. If you look at it, statistically, I did OK but there were a lot of things to work on. I got a lot of quick fouls so I have to go back and watch the tape, adapt and learn.
OBrien sends message: Injuries are no excuse
With no fewer than nine players on Tuesdays injury report, OBrien said the team didnt have enough healthy bodies to practice, so they went over the video of Monday nights game and went through light drills.
When I brought them out and got the trainers assessment of our health, it was going to be three-on-three and we had to use me and Larry (Bird), he said with a smile. Thats not going to work out too well.
All kidding aside, OBrien said he told the players the health issues were not an excuse for the teams slow preseason start. The Pacers have been without at least two starters (Mike Dunleavy and Troy Murphy) in all three games and added a third to the list (Granger) in Memphis.
What I said to our players today and I dont want them to think Im overreacting after three preseason games but its an 82-game schedule and maybe you play five games when youre totally healthy as a team, he said. The other 77 youre banged-up in different degrees, so win basketball games. Whether youre banged-up or not, it doesnt matter. That was the message.
OBrien even went so far as to retract his previous statement after the 105-71 loss to New Orleans in the preseason opener in which he addressed the possibility of the players having tired legs after a rigorous training camp.
I regret saying that. I think that was an excuse and I take it back, he said. Im not worrying about the guys getting worn out. In order to be the best-conditioned team in the league, youve got to run through some aches and pains and persist in your conditioning.
Daniels, Murphy (sore left Achilles tendon) and Travis Diener (sore left foot) will not play Wednesday against Dallas in Conseco Fieldhouse. Granger, Dunleavy (sore right knee), Maceo Baston (ill) and Austin Croshere (ill) are day-to-day; and Josh Davis (sprained right ankle) and Stephen Graham (groin) are probable.
Ball pressure, quicker tempo needed
Movement of the ball, to the ball and by the players was the other theme of the day. Defensively, OBrien wants to see more pressure on the ball. Offensively, he wants more ball movement and a more consistent commitment to a quick tempo.
Everything that was a problem (Monday) is correctable with ball pressure, closing out on somebody and reading what the situation is, OBrien said. Were making strides in every area defensively. Offensively what we need to do is just run our butts off and create the tempo we want to create.
Other than our second game against Chicago, about two quarters were the type of tempo we need meaning up and down, north and south, and then east and west with ball movement. Weve played 12 quarters and Ive been happy with the tempo two of those quarters.
Fast breaks
Dunleavy went through his hardest on-court workout of the preseason and said the pain in his right knee has receded to the point he hopes to be back real soon. He said hes targeting either Fridays home game against Memphis or Saturdays game in San Antonio.
There was no word from the Pacers Tuesday as to the status of Eddie Jones. The veteran guard was acquired in the Shawne Williams trade Friday but has yet to report to the team. The 48-hour deadline to report expired Sunday at 5:30 p.m.
This is an unusually grueling week for the Pacers. Mondays game in Memphis began a stretch of four in six nights. They play at home Wednesday against Dallas and Friday against Memphis and travel to San Antonio Saturday.
I'm starting to think maybe Hibbert is going to be the surprise of his draft glass!

From the sublime to the ridiculous, here's William Beaudine's Voodoo Man on Blu-ray.
In the 1940s, horror films were really more like fantasies, in which no one was ever really at risk. At Universal, the studio put Dracula, the Frankenstein monster, the Mummy, and the Wolfman through their predictable paces; at RKO, Val Lewton was busy producing a series of low budget horror films such as The Cat People (1942) and I Walked With A Zombie (1943) which are now justly considered classics; Paramount tried and succeeded with Lewis Allen's memorable ghost story The Uninvited (1944), top-lining Ray Milland; and 20th Century Fox also tried their hand at horror, with John Brahm's marvelously atmospheric The Undying Monster (1942).
Columbia produced a series of films with Boris Karloff, most centering on the theme of "science gone mad," the most effective of which was probably Edward Dmytryk's The Devil Commands (1941). Producers Releasing Corporation also cranked out low-budget horror films such as The Devil Bat (1940) and Dead Men Walk (1943), but the circumstances of their production was so threadbare that the results were fatally compromised, while Republic Pictures, better known for their Saturday morning serials, still managed to create several memorable stand-alone films, such as Lesley Selander's The Vampire's Ghost (1945, and still unavailable on DVD), with an excellent script by the great Leigh Brackett.
Somewhere between the major studios and the bottom of Poverty Row was Monogram, an odd studio that built its "reputation" on westerns, horror films, and lowbrow comedies, usually shot in a week or less, and often directed by William Beaudine, one of the most prolific helmers in Hollywood history, along with the even more prolific Sam Newfield (aka Sherman Scott and Peter Stewart, to disguise his torrential output), who usually worked for PRC, which was run by his brother, Sigmund Neufeld.
Monogram's films were made quickly and efficiently – as actor John Carradine once observed, "it was just like Universal, except they moved twice as fast on the set" – and more often than not had to be endured rather than enjoyed on any level, with a few notable exceptions, such as Beaudine's The Face of Marble (1946), which was essentially remade in 2015 as The Lazarus Effect.
Voodoo Man is another Monogram film that manages to intermittently hit the mark, and has now been digitally remastered in a superb restoration by Olive Films, an interesting independent label whose catalogue swings all the way from Hollywood classics, to foreign films, to obscure contemporary releases, and in this case, program horror films.
As the British critic Graeme Clark describes the film's preposterous yet oddly compelling narrative, "a lone woman driver is out in the countryside one night when she finds herself slightly lost, but as luck would have it she sees a gas station up ahead and stops to ask for directions.
A middle-aged Englishman appears and offers to help, giving his advice to carry on up to the fork in the road; she thanks him and carries on, little knowing she has been duped for the station owner, Nicholas (George Zucco) has sent her to her potential doom. He gets on the phone to two henchmen up ahead, and they uncover a hidden route, then place a detour sign on the official road, leading the motorist the wrong way, whereupon her car breaks down and the henchmen pounce, dragging her from it and towards a trapdoor in the bushes . . .
It's debatable which cast member was the titular fiend for there were at least four options, but for the purposes of this we had to assume Bela Lugosi was that character . . . that said, the star wattage for vintage horror fans was not to be sneezed at, for producer Sam Katzman had hired three icons of the genre.
Lugosi here was ending his contract with the notoriously cheap 'Poverty Row' outfit Monogram Pictures, having made nine films with them of which this was the last, a selection that many buffs like to collect as if they were a matching set, though some are easier to come by than others.
Typically, the star would take the part of a mad scientist or practioner of supernatural arts as he did here, though he had a catatonic wife to add pathos since he wishes to revive her by transferring the life force of the kidnapped women into the body of [his wife] (Ellen Hall), a practice which appears to succeed for a few seconds before leaving the doctor distraught that he has lost her to the whims of fate once more . . .
Yes, those ritual sequences were quite something seeing as how it united the trio of horror stars – Lugosi, Zucco, and John Carradine – and had them act out a curious scene, the first two decorated in some striking Aleister Crowley-style decorated robes [while intoning] some nonsense about 'Ramboona' and Zucco makes a couple of lengths of rope tie themselves together (Beaudine pulled the ropes apart and ran the clip backwards), as the two ladies in question stare off into space.
In a spot of apparent autobiography on the part of screenwriter Robert Charles, the hero in this case is Ralph Dawson (stage actor Tod Andrews under the pseudonym he used for cheapo efforts), who is a screenwriter ordered to script a film about the disappearances by his boss at Banner pictures, S.K., who sadly was not played by the actual boss at Banner pictures, Sam Katzman, but it was an in-joke they could cheerfully make when working with such a low stakes production – just listen for the final line for the ultimate in cheek in that respect.
Ralph loses Stella (Louise Currie, the last member of the Citizen Kane cast to pass away) on that darned road, who in a coincidence is the cousin of Betty (Wanda McKay), the woman he's supposed to be marrying that week – Stella was driving over to attend the wedding. With the cops not much help, Ralph and Betty take it upon themselves to sleuth, bringing together the cast for a denouement to a movie that paradoxically moves briskly under the prolific William Beaudine's functional direction, yet feels oddly leisurely."
It's certainly no masterpiece by any stretch of the imagination – or lack of it – but at the same time, the "leisurely" pace of the film makes the entire effort somehow more claustrophobic and intimate, and Lugosi, Carradine, and the ever-menacing George Zucco throw themselves into their roles with abandon, well aware that the end result will be just another horror film from one of Hollywood's most cost-conscious film factories.
Voodoo Man offers the viewer a look into the world of 1940s bread-and-butter horror films, which audiences, tired from the cares of World War II, flocked to in droves. Then, too, at 70 minutes in length, no one is going to get bored, and Beaudine does keep the project moving along "briskly" – even as it seems to inhabit a twilight zone of phantom reality.
Voodoo Man – newly restored – is thus an an authentic talisman of a lost era.

Reasons to be cheerful… Part 1
Redbridge was always going to be a tough race. On this challenging closed road, purpose-built cycling circuit, Astrid, Helen, Lydia, Nicola and Tamina kitted up, warmed up, and took to the line....
I could now give you chapter and verse on who did what, who came where, what went well and what didn't go so well - but let's leave that for a moment. After all, the season started months before the Team arrived on that line in Redbridge.
Firstly, what was the reasoning behind the formation of the Team? One driver was the disparity of opportunity for women in sport and CTC's belief in supporting participation through action rather than words.
One thing is for sure - we've put CTC into the spotlight not just in cycling circles, but beyond them. We've made friends in the world of women's media magazines, recreation and sport alliances and government departments. Our impact on CTC's social media has been phenomenal too, bringing the organisation to new audiences.
Don't get me wrong - we are serious about competing and our results are important - but for me it's just as important to fulfil the riders' aspiration, give them the opportunity to compete in races and share their experiences to encourage others to get on their bikes.
Equally, and just as significantly, there is another side to the Team and its formation: charity events, local community activities, sportives, meeting with CTC member groups and relating the riders' personal 'pathways' to cycling. While the women on Team CTC are cyclists first and foremost, each has a story to tell and they didn't become racers overnight. The bike is a lifestyle choice for them all.
As the Team is not precious about a selected 'top of the pyramid' few, it has been attracting a number of guest riders from around the country, giving them an opportunity to compete throughout the season. We have, though, a core of 5 excellent riders who will maintain the competitive edge, each with their own strengths and areas for development. It's very encouraging indeed for me, as their manager, to see the way in which these riders meet, greet, welcome and encourage our guests. And the race results from Redbridge were deeply rewarding too.
Redbridge results:
Team Series Race Results for Team CTC - 7th, 24th , 27th, 31st, 33rd (72 finishers) on a pacey closed circuit - an encouraging start for a team who will target mid-season races, and are just coming out of winter training.

NAPA COUNTY -- A surgical team led by Dr. Andreas Sakopoulos, at St. Helena Hospital, Napa Valley, part of Adventist Heart Institute, has performed the first procedure using an Impella heart pump in the North Bay area.
The Impella procedure joins a long list of St. Helena firsts in cardiac treatment spanning more than three decades, including the first to offer coronary angiograms, coronary angioplasty and coronary bypass surgery, as well as the first to offer "off pump" coronary bypass surgery and endovascular repair of thoracic aortic aneurysms.
"We utilized this device recently on a patient with a heart that was functioning at 10 to 15 percent," Sakopoulos said. "With the use of the Impella, the patient had a five-way bypass operation. Without this new technology he would have had a harder time recovering from surgery and might not have survived."
The Impella, the world's smallest artificial heart pump, can be inserted through a catheter in minutes, using a small incision in the groin. Smaller in diameter than a pencil, and only 10 to 12 centimeters in length, the Impella does not require a sternotomy.
Approved by the Food and Drug Administration for partial circulatory support for six hours, the device delivers 2.5 liters of blood flow per minute, drawing blood from the left ventricle and pumping it into the aorta and out into the body. A larger model is also available, which can pump 5 liters of blood per minute, replacing the entire heart function.
"This is an exciting advance in cardiac care, creating a new standard," Sakopoulos said. "What this means for our patients is that we can now perform life-saving procedures on many who would previously have been considered ineligible for angioplasty or surgery because of the severity of their heart condition. This is a minimally invasive procedure that supports cardiac function delivering blood to the body while we work on a heart, performing angioplasty/stenting or coronary artery bypass surgery."
Manufactured by Abiomed, the Impella established a successful track record in Europe for a number of years before it was approved for use in the United States. It is considered ideal for patients with reduced heart pumping action who need to have the blood vessels to their hearts opened. In addition to providing support during angioplasty, the pump can also be used to help a patient's weakened heart gain strength before and after surgery. This opens up the possibility of life-saving procedures for more patients than ever before.

The Weekly Health Quiz: Migraines, Drinking and Belly Fat
September 22, 2017,
Coughing up blood is the spitting up of blood or bloody mucus from the lungs and throat (respiratory tract).
Hemoptysis is the medical term for coughing up blood from the respiratory tract.
Hemoptysis; Spitting up blood; Bloody sputum
Coughing up blood is not the same as bleeding from the mouth, throat, or gastrointestinal tract.
Blood that comes up with a cough often looks bubbly because it is mixed with air and mucus. It is usually bright red, although it may be rust-colored. Sometimes the mucus contains only streaks of blood.
A number of conditions, diseases, and medical tests may make you cough up blood. These include:
Medicines that stop coughing (cough suppressants) may help if the problem comes from heavy coughing. These medicines may lead to airway blockages, so check with your doctor before using them.
Keep track of how long you cough up blood, and how much blood is mixed with the mucus. Call your doctor any time you cough up blood, even if you do not have any other symptoms.
Get medical help right away if you cough up blood and have:
In an emergency, your doctor will give you treatments to control your condition. The doctor will then ask you questions about your cough, such as:
The doctor will do a complete physical exam and check your chest and lungs. Tests that may be done include:

Girl Rising: Producer meets girl revolutionaries
When director Richard Robbins got the idea for Girl Rising -- a film about girls struggling to get an education -- he was determined that it should be part of a social action campaign to improve the lot of girls around the world.
Critically-acclaimed producer Martha Adams helped make the film and subsequently became the creative director for the campaign. She spoke to World Vision about both roles.
* * *
What was your role as producer?
Initially, I was asked to go out into the world to find these girls. I was interviewing hundreds of girls and trying to identify candidates who would be a good match for our writers, and whom we thought would make a good story.
How did you break the ice with the girls and the writers?
We listened to the girls first and foremost. What would they like to do? We also had to work in the writers' own desires: "Can we travel to her birthplace? Can I go to school with her? Where does she go when she likes to unwind?"
Of course, sharing those experiences with the girls, their family members, and with the writer made for a very memorable and moving day. As you can imagine, a lot of our writers and the girls became very close.
Were the girls' stories what you expected?
When I first got the call to do this project, it was a chance of a lifetime, because I have always cared deeply about these issues. But like most people, I was under the impression that the situation was bleak; that the notion of girls being empowered across the developing world was unattainable.
Now, I've gone 180 degrees in the opposite direction; I know that not only is it obtainable, but we are already on our way.
What makes you so optimistic?
Because the girls I met in the field were game-changers. They're revolutionaries. We're so conditioned to define "revolutionary" in a certain way, and to think of it as the face of the intifada or Gandhi.
But these girls are just as powerful in their ability to change and stop the cycle of poverty.
Can you give an example?
When you interview someone such as Nazma -- who is in a World Vision program in India -- and you say: "How old was your mom when she was married?" "She was 8." "Does she know how to read?" "No." "How many children does she have?" "10."
And then you say, "Nazma, can you read?" "Oh yes, I love this book, I love that book." "Can you write?" "Oh yes, I just wrote an essay about this." "What do you want to be when you grow up?" "Oh, I want to open a school -- be a principal." "Do you want to have any kids?" "Yep, maybe two, maybe three."
All because an organization came -- in this case, World Vision -- and gave her a uniform, paid for her book supplies, and provided her a safe place for her to do her homework. It's not that complicated.
After finishing the film, you became the creative director for the social action campaign. What does it involve?
It's as varied as making a 60-second video that loops inside a taxi cab during a world convention, all the way over to, here is a talented graffiti artist. Let's figure out how to work with him to create an interactive street campaign. In this world, we have to find the most innovative ways to engage.
Many producers would be looking for another film project by now. Why not you?
This project is all-consuming. You feel passionate about wanting to see the greatest amount of change come from this experience. This is not a typical film by any stretch. It's more like a life-changing experience.
Girl Rising will be in theaters in March. Directed by Academy Award-nominee Richard Robbins and narrated by world-class actresses including Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Kerry Washington, and Selena Gomez, Girl Rising tells the stories of extraordinary girls faced with unforgiving circumstances.
Request a screening of Girl Rising today.
Sponsor a girl today and help provide her with the basics she needs to build a hopeful future -- like access to education, nutritious food, clean water, medical care, safe shelter, and more.

1) Continuous Run Time:
The most important attributes when you are shopping for a paper shredder is not just the sheet capacity, but the continuous run time, which is the duration of non-stop shredding prior to overheating. When a shredder overheats you will likely wait 30-60 minutes before it can restart again. This run time rating is not always shown on some paper shredder descriptions. The longer the run time, the better and more expensive the motor is and therefore more durable. Better shredders will have a run time of 8 mins or more. Some shredders are called heavy duty and can have a run time of 15 mins or more.
2) Quiet Operation:
Secondly, look for a quiet motor that runs <58db or less. This means the motor is using an induction motor and not a universal motor that is used by shredders that are louder. Most smaller, light duty shredders will use a universal motor because it's less expensive and lighter than induction motors. The larger capacity shredders may use either motor types. You can also tell by the weight of the shredders since induction will weigh almost twice as much as a universal motor.
3) Shred Speed:
A faster speed is important not because it can shred paper faster, but it means that the components are made of more durable parts. A speed of 7.5 ft/min or more is a decent rating.
4) Shred or Cut Type:
There are many types of cutters out there and they can be confusing to most. There are really just 3 types of cutters in the market, but some have alternative names. The 3 types of cuts are strip cut, cross cut and micro cut. Strip or straight cut means the blade makes a thin straight cut from top to bottom of a sheet of paper. Cross cut means the blade can make cross section cuts along a strip of paper. This is also called confetti cut because the cross sections resemble confetti. Diamond cut is another name for this, but it's trademarked and the shredded paper resemble diamond shapes.
5) Shred Size and Security Level:
Although there are only 3 shred types, there isn't really an industry standard that is regulating what the shred sizes are for each type. Shred size is the final shredded paper size that falls into the waste bin. Every manufacturer seems to have their own standards and sizes. The smaller the cut size the higher the security level.
6) Features:
Auto Start and Stop, Reverse mode are must-have features. Some shredders have auto stop when a jam is detected. This helps prevent the motor from grinding further and strip the gears. The better shredders will have warning indicators to let you know the bin is opened and overheat detection.
Things to look for when shopping around for a paper shredder:
Feel free to contact firstname.lastname@example.com with any questions.
I hope this helped!

Summer is a time for warm weather, barbecues, bonfires, and most of all... camping! Who doesn't love a good weekend of camping with a group of friends, sipping cold drinks, and roasting marshmallows? I sure do! However, one thing that may turn people off from camping is the idea of sleeping in a tent on the cold, hard ground, but don't worry, I have a simple solution to that problem... get one of the SimplySleeper air mattresses and get ready for one of the most comfortable night's rest you'll experience in the outdoors. I can honestly say from experience that these mattresses are worth taking on your next camping trip! Below are just a few of the many air mattresses that can be used for camping:
This bed has so many great features that come with it, and it is such a convenient product to bring camping. It is a twin size bed with a built-in foot pump, which means no need to hook it up to an outlet; you can pump up the mattress in just two minutes without any hassle. The SS-25T is extremely light weight, weighing in at only 6 pounds, and it comes with a carrying case so you can easily bring it with during your travels. The quality of the material is very durable so you don't have to worry about rips and tears. Take a look at this awesome model under SimplySleeper: http://www.simplyglobo.com/ss-25t.html
Another unique model that's worth checking out is the SS-SNG54Q, and it's a very useful item to bring along on your next camping trip. This is a queen size air mattress which means more room for sleeping (great when camping with your significant other). This particular model has a rechargeable battery pump that automatically inflates and deflates the bed in only 60 seconds! All you would have to do is put the deflated mattress inside your tent and the pump will do the work. Once again, these air mattresses are made to be durable and puncture resistant, so it can handle the grueling environment of the outdoors. Check out this air bed, and I promise you won't regret it! Here's the link to the SS-SNG54Q: http://www.simplyglobo.com/simplysleeper-ss-sng54q-queen-airbed-w-rechargeable-pump.html
So, if you're thinking of going camping sometime soon, think about purchasing one of the SimplySleeper air mattresses so you don't have to worry about sleeping on the hard ground ever again!

More than three months later, the incident offers a window into the Yemeni government's efforts to conceal Washington's mistakes and the unintended consequences of civilian deaths in American air assaults. In this case, the deaths have bolstered the popularity of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the terrorist network's Yemen affiliate, which has tried to stage attacks on U.S. soil several times.
Furious tribesmen tried to take the bodies to the gates of the presidential residence, forcing the government into the rare position of withdrawing its assertion that militants had been killed. The apparent target, Yemeni officials and tribal leaders said, was a senior regional al-Qaeda leader, Abdelrauf al-Dahab, who was thought to be in a car traveling on the same road.
U.S. airstrikes have killed numerous civilians in Afghanistan, Pakistan and other parts of the world, and those governments have spoken against the attacks. But in Yemen, the weak government has often tried to hide civilian casualties from the public, fearing repercussions in a nation where hostility toward U.S. policies is widespread. It continues to insist in local media reports that its own aging jets attacked the truck.
Meanwhile, the Obama administration has kept silent publicly, neither confirming nor denying any involvement, a standard practice with most U.S. airstrikes in its clandestine counterterrorism fight in this strategic Middle Eastern country.

Cool. It'd be pretty great if he looked good right off the bat.
Figures we'll miss that one. Oh, well.
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
Yippy! And Granger's also playing tonight!! (In my best Lil' John voice) Y-E-A-H!!!
From Pacers.com...
Dunnleavy and Danny Granger both will return for tonight's game against Dallas...
Last edited by NuffSaid; 11-27-2009 at 02:05 PM.
Tonight's game just got a lot more interesting!! I'm pumped
I'd like to say an injured granger goes off for 30+ tonight. I'm excited to see how our bigs match up against the aging Nowitzki. I'd like to see the always scrappy Hansbrough match up with Dirk, although there will be a significant size advantage. Also, I bet Watson will get the majority of the minutes tonight against Kidd for Defensive purposes.
I'm so glad to have Dunleavy back! Lets get back to .500 tonight!!!!
Passion, Pride, Playoffs, Pacers
[In my goofy WaterBoy voice...] Stop making fun-a-me.
Okay, so it's just a LCD-TV. I'll still be glue to my seat right in front of it watchin' the game while eatin' leftover turkey, a ham sam'ich and sippin' on a big glass of red KoolAide. Yum-Yum! Thanksgiving leftovers has got to be the only meal that tastes great the 2nd-time around.
I'm excited and nervous for tonight's game. I'm not expecting much from Dunleavy, but there's always the chance that he's completely healed by next season and can play at 100%.
There is a way to see how Dunleavy's knee is truly feeling, regardless of what he says to the media. I'll be looking at it tonight.
How will Dunleavy react to nearby loose balls? Will he make an effort to pick up or not? If it's low, does he try to pick up without bending his knees or does he fully commit? Is his reaction time fast or slow? Does he compete for it if one or more players are going after it?
To me, this is the one clear way of knowing how a player is feeling. Granger, Dunleavy, Marquis, Jermaine, Bender, etc. have all shown the same pattern multiple times (lack of pursuit, straight legs when bending down, slow reaction time, easily giving up pursuit). Usually the bad knee reports follow within one/two games of seeing it on the court.
::keeping fingers crossed::
Just got the facebook update that he will be back. I am so excited, I hope he gives us a better showing than when he came back last year still hurt.
EDIT: Just read that Danny will be back too? Not sure how I feel about that...I hope he is sure he's ready to go.
I hope Granger is not rushing it now.
It will on FSIN at 8 PM.
Ok, I'm going to assume that whenever he is taken off of the min. restriction count that he is going to get anywhere from 30-35 min. a game so who do we eleminate?
S. Jones is now officially gone because we will now see plenty of Troy at the center spot.
Brandon Rush will drop his min. (can't say this will be all that bad, I'm mean he is almost as bad on offense as Mike is on defense).
D. Jones will have his min. cut. This is actually criminal to be honest with you.
Tyler will also see his min. decline, which may be the most dissapointing thing of all.
Roy will also have his min. drop because he will not fit in with the faster paced lineup and lack of perimeter defense will lead players to up the middle and Roy will continue to foul like he has the past few games and so JOB will yank him early and often.
Needless to say I am less than thrilled with this turn of events. Over the summer I thought we were going to commit to defense and more toughness on the floor. Well now we are just back to the same old offense first second and third lineup.
Believe me I hope I'm wrong here. I hope that JOB mixes and matches on the floor and has Dunleavy with D. Jones and I hope that we don't see Murphy at center (ever for any reason) but the M.O. on JOB says otherwise.
Sorry to be the downer of the thread
I'm not particularly excited, mainly because I hope he's not rushing it.
Same for Granger, actually.
You're caught up in the Internet / you think it's such a great asset / but you're wrong, wrong, wrong
All that fiber optic gear / still cannot take away the fear / like an island song
- Jimmy Buffett
Nevertheless, we do need an offensive boost. This lineup has some mojo:
"Look, it's up to me to put a team around ... Lance right now." Kevin Pritchard press conference
A lineup of
sounds great to me. Have murphy sub in for hibbert as the 6th man. When dun needs a break move granger to the three. Then you have rush to sub with jones and granger when he needs it. I dont see a major log/jam. Just a few of the players that have been extended min will get them cut back some.
Peck from the way you are talking you make it sound that dun is the worst defensive player in the league. I am not sure where he gets this reputation at but he is not that bad. I was honestly say he is a average defender and with his length at the 2 can really challenge shots.
The game can not only be about defense. The other team is going to put points on the board no matter what. We have seen our best defense collapse and lose us games simply because we couldnt score points along with defending.
Way to many times this year have we had 7,8,9 min stretches where we could not score a f/g. No one is at fault, we simply have young players and while we preach defense we still have to be consistent on the offensenive end. We have to be able to score to ball better than the other team. While jones and rush probably shouldn't have their min cut, rush simply cannot be counted on, he does not have the intensity to be a 12-20 pt scorer in this league. He seems to be happy with just launching the three ball when it comes his way. Even though Jones is my favorite pacer at this current time he is a one trick pony. I like to call him the modern day fred jones with defense. You know he is going right, you know he is going to lower his shoulder and cup the ball. You know its going to be a lay up. He will surprise you a few times a game with a nice midrange jumper but 90% of his offense is the bull rush. Sometimes you need a player that can come in and make the OTHER PLAYERS BETTER, that is what Dun used to bring to this team. Hopefully he can still have that same effect and really influence a basketball game with his bball IQ.
I really think having him in the game along with hibbert is really going to help hibbert. He really feeds the post well and knows just the right time to get the ball down low.
We will see if he can still be a nba talent or if he is going to be back on the end of the bench.
The worst defender sadly is our starting power forward.
Dunleavy is just a below average defender.
All I can say is we better score and score a lot because we are not going to stop anyone with the starting lineup I see coming.
Don't get your hopes to high, I am pretty sure that with JOB you are going to see more this line up
This would be the same line up who was giving up more than hundred points per game, your are going to also see a line up with Troy as center and Tyler as PF at the same time
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
That is really a good way of putting it right there. My guess is that if Brandon played for the Nuggets or the Lakers he would probably be considered an asset, however since we really needed him to be the second best player on the team he is falling way short in that area.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
But didn't JO'B say that we'd use a 9-10 man rotation?
Well, as some of us have mentioned before.....I'll believe it when I see it.
