Your Not Forgotten - A Gift for Our Troops And Their Families This Holiday Season

Connecticut (I-Newswire) January 1, 2012 - This month, as the last U.S. combat forces left Iraq, the holiday parade in Hickory, North Carolina, featured a first: marchers carrying the names of all the state?s troops who died in that war and in Afghanistan... ?The older men stood and saluted; some people cried,? said Mike Beasley, an ex-Marine who organized the display through his church. ?It opened a lot of people up to what had happened.? -- Sons of Conover Made Iraq Sacrifices as Small Towns Hit Hardest : Bloomberg, 29 December 2011.

You might have noticed this holiday season that those who sacrificed their lives, to provide the freedom and security we cherish every day, were in many cases not news worthy topics or mentioned in our holiday shows. In case some have forgotten, we are still in the midst of a global War Against Terrorism.

Country Music Association Artist H-II: Stephen Michael Apatow and supporters of the HRI: United Nations Arts Initiative would like to extend our deepest sympathies and regards for our troops and families that have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect our country and the international community by serving across the globe. As a token of this appreciation, Stephen is offering free digital downloads of the Album: Country Goes Global to those serving as a member of U.S. or NATO forces, their families and veterans.

To obtain access to the download site, Stephen is asking our serviceman, their families or veterans to share about themselves and contact him directly:

Keeping Our Troops and their Families in Our Thoughts and Prayers

In 2011 More US soldiers killed themselves than were killed in combat.

When guns fall silent and ceasefires are agreed, wars live on in the minds of the men and women who fought them. And a killer still stalks them, more deadly than the enemies they once faced. -- US war woe: Suicide kills more soldiers than combat : RT, 23 December 2011.

6,303 U.S. service members have died in Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. -- Remembering 6303 Fallen Troops - Human Rights Day 2011

The Fight For A Green Energy Manufacturing Base

As China rises to the status of a global power, it gives way to face off against a United States that has seemingly always had its way. The two countries appear to be butting heads more often, sizing each other up as they travel the dangerous path on the brink of a trade war. Already, the US and China appear to be flashing the weapons they?re packing as the politically driven dump probes from both nations have begun to appear in declaration of trade territory.

For the United States, concern over the alleged dumping of solar panels by Chinese manufacturers prompted an investigation to determine whether China was seeking an unfair trade advantage at the costs to US producers. Led by SolarWorld and a coalition of seven US manufacturers, a petition to stop unfair trade practices helped lead to the probe against its Chinese competition. US-based solar companies such as First Solar (FSLR) & Sunpower (SPWR), have lately found themselves in decline as their once lucrative margins began to thin out. For its own part, First Solar recently announced a change in strategy in a public acknowledgement of the changing dynamics the industry is facing.

According to research firm SolarBuzz, over the last 12 months, prices have dropped quicker than costs as supplies have outpaced the growth in demand. While beneficial for the end retailer as solar panels reach self-sustaining economics, such a violent slashing of prices have led to outcries across the board as the competition stiffened. In a retaliatory claim, Chinese companies have sought a counter probe into whether the United States was illegally propping up its domestic industry to provide an unfair advantage.

Apart from the solar industry however, the international rivalry also continues to build in the nascent wind-tower industry. Recent complaints filed by the likes of US-based Broadwind Energy (BWEN) and Otter Tail Corp (OTTR) show similar grudges against its foreign competition. With towers from China selling at 64% of their normalized value, Broadwind and Otter Tail Corp have pursued domestic US protections through form of a countervailing-duty against China.

Yet Chinese companies too have not been silenced in their own complaints over newly established industries. A dumping probe on the US export of distiller?s dried grains has likewise been extended against US livestock feed companies in a protective maneuver by Chinese ethanol producers. US-based ethanol producers like Pacific Ethanol (PEIX), Archer Daniel Midland (ADM), and Valero (VLO) are bound to be affected should the investigation lead to more authoritative action. As a byproduct of ethanol production, DDGs produced by such companies like PEIX and ADM are often sold on the markets under subsidized conditions by the United States.

Throughout this ongoing battle for protective actions, we find that the one common trend is a stiff fight between green energy producers. As signs of a trade war between China and the United States show an intensification, it?s not hard to see that it?s becoming a fight for the positioning of a manufacturing base of green technology. For investors who might see the trend of ?going green? as a fad, this growing fight between global powers ought to lend credence to support green energy?s development and the companies that expand its influence. With clear support on a national level, there can be little doubt that renewable green companies have a brighter future ahead of them.

NFL Four Downs: Pirate hoaxes of the Circle K

First down

San Francisco at St. Louis

11 a.m., TV ? Ch. 13

Reason to watch ? Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo called you up and made a personal plea for you to watch this game, as the only way he gets the Rams to overlook his 10-37 (soon to be 10-38) career record and not fire him is by getting every nfl fan in the world to watch this game and thus convince the team he is ratings gold. Though his motives are self-serving, you still appreciate that he took the time to call. Not every NFL head coach does.

Reason not to watch ? You suspect your efforts will go for naught, and then it will have just been a colossal waste of time.

The line ? San Fran. by 101/2.

The pick ? San Francisco. If you do the math, 10-38 works out to a .208 winning percentage.

Second down

Story continues below

N.Y. Jets at Miami

11 a.m., TV ? Ch. 2

Reason to watch ? You heard Jason Taylor was retiring after this game. And while you don?t know much about football, you did love his performances on "Dancing With the Stars." Big guy sure can pirouette!

Reason not to watch ? Damon Huard. Jay Fiedler. Ray Lucas. Brian Griese. A.J. Feeley. Sage Rosenfels. Gus Frerotte. Joey Harrington. Daunte Culpepper. Cleo Lemon. Trent Green. John Beck. Chad Pennington. Chad Henne. Tyler Thigpen. Matt Moore. But not Andrew Luck. Hope you?re happy with those five wins. Dumb.

The line ? Miami by 3.

The pick ? N.Y. Jets. On the one hand, Mark Sanchez is no Dan Marino. On the other, he?s no Matt Moore, either.

Third down

Kansas City at Denver
