Number Of Available Homes Drops To 28 Month Low

... market is also considerably less than the 900 to 1,100 homes that according to Realtor Victoria Printz make up a balanced market between the seller and buyer. More evidence of the pronounced buyer’s market was seen in the number of homes sold in February. The 159 homes sold were more than any February going back at least six years, according to PBBOR statistics, and was 62 more than in February 2016. “February once again proved to be a record month based on statistics from the previous six years for Midland County,” wrote Carroll Nall, MLS/Member Services director for the PBBOR. “Residential home sales continue to be strong with mid-range pricing being the most sought after and sold.”. Again in February, workforce housing drove the average price of homes sold. In fact, the $257,541 was the lowest average ...

40 Oil? No Problem As U.s. Drillers Snub Opec With Hedges

... OPEC with hedges. By Bloomberg. Published 6:46 am, Monday, March 20, 2017. Photo: James Durbin/Reporter-Telegram. Trinidad Rig 433 on Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016, in Midland County. Photo: James Durbin/Reporter-Telegram. $40 oil? No problem as U. S. drillers snub OPEC with hedges. 1 / 1. Back to Gallery. OPEC’s worst enemy isn’t U. S. shale drillers. It’s the hedges propping them up. American oil explorers who survived the worst of the 2014-2016 market rout are shrugging off the 14 percent slide in prices this year from a high of $55.24 to less than $48 a barrel Tuesday. The price would have to drop to the $30 s or lower to dent the bottom line of many drillers now working U. S. shale fields, said Katherine Richard, the CEO of Warwick Energy Investment Group, which own stakes in more than 5,000 oil and natural gas wells. That’s because many producers have already locked in future returns with financial contracts that guarantee the price of their oil for most of the rest of the decade. Such resilience poses a dilemma for countries that agreed to an ...

No More Flubber-flapping! Mr T Says Dwts Has Made Him 'lean And Mean

... season is set to premiere next Monday, and the beefcake will be facing off against such luminaries as Bachelor star Nick Viall, Glee favourite Heather Morris and Olympic champion gymnast Simone Biles. Feeling grrrr-eat: He boasted he is now 'lean, mean, mobile and hostile'. Exhausted: But he looked like he enjoyed working up a sweat with Kym in LA last week. No need to sucka it in: The star was in great shape as he shot promo shots for the show. Going for gold: Mr T was famous for his pumped physique and collection of chains in the 80 s. Mr T first came to prominence as a celebrity bodyguard, working for the likes of Muhammad Ali, Steve Mc Queen and Michael Jackson. He then shot to fame when he appeared opposite Sylvester Stallone as the brutal boxer Clubber Lang in Rocky III. But his most enduring and popular role was as fugitive ex–United States Army Special Forces ...

Longhorn Steakhouse Takes First Steps In Coming To Midland

... is clearing the way for Longhorn Steakhouse. Members of the Planning and Zoning Commission at Monday’s public hearing unanimously approved a request to change the zoning at Loop 250 and Midkiff Road from Planned District for a Shopping Center to amended planned district at a site just west of Bubba’s 33 on the north side of Midland Park Mall. Longhorn Steakhouse has purchased the property and is looking to begin the building permit process. The zone change now goes to City Council for final consideration. A second public hearing — on a request by Curtis Schmid for a specific use permit without term for a plant nursery at Todd Road south of Marie Drive — drew discussion among commissioners. Schmid explained that the nursery, Superior, has long provided plants to landscapers and developers and was seeking to diversify by opening to individual buyers during a 90-day spring window. “Not much is going on in my niche outside that window,” he said. “The fall ...

Mr. T Willing To Play The Clown To Win 'dancing With The Stars

... about his lack of ballroom skills. “It’s a reality show. It’s all about entertainment. I think it’s designed so the audience can see celebrities in a different light.”. It’s a gig many years in the making for the Chicago native, “A-Team” actor and former professional wrestler and Rocky Balboa rival. “I turned [‘DWTS’] down like five or six times — mainly because there has to be a unique time to be ready for it. I didn’t have the time earlier, because I knew there was a lot of work involved in it. … This time the stars were aligned, and I said yes.”. A cancer survivor, Mr. T is using the competition to boost two causes that help sick kids: St Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, and Shriners Hospitals for Children. “My thing is to hopefully inspire the kids who have been suffering with cancer or anything like that. To let them know never to quit. It’s OK if ...

Dhs Releases Names Of Local Jails That Won't Hold Immigrants

... strictly because of their immigration status. Other jurisdictions have passed local ordinances barring cooperation. As a result, the Obama administration dramatically reduced the number of detainers filed annually, a trend Trump's immigration authorities have pledged to reverse. ICE said that nationwide, from Jan. 28 to Feb. 3, it made 3,083 new requests to jails that immigrants accused of a crime be held long enough for ICE agents to take them into custody. It is unclear how many of those requests were honored. The number of requests made and declined is likely to increase as the government issues more detainer requests, immigration officials said. The officials briefed reporters on the condition of anonymity despite Trump's complaints that anonymous sources should not be considered ...

Robert Herjavec Warned Mr. T He’d Fight Him If He Touched Wife Kym Johnson

... Robert teased of the tonight’s premiere! Just like her first DWTS number, Robert revealed that married life has been amazing as well. “It’s great,” Robert said. “She’s amazing. I’m very lucky.” SO cute. Although we won’t see Robert doing the quickstep on the ballroom floor, he told us that he’s not opposed to working on another show. However, don’t expect him to be memorizing lines anytime soon. “The thing with us Sharks is, we aren’t actors — it’s all live; so I don’t think I’d be doing a scripted show,” he admitted. Nonetheless, “I’m very open to doing something unscripted and have a few ideas up my sleeve for a future project… So if we find the right opportunity, I’m happy to do it.” Fingers crossed Robert turns those ideas into reality sooner than later. When he’s not driving race cars or scouting talent in the tank, Robert is busy running his global cybersecurity business – Herjavec Group – which he founded with two partners back in 2003. He also has an impressive portfolio of successful Shark Tank companies under his ...

Chamber Should Make State Of Education About Schroder

... Midlanders are generally out of touch with what’s taking place in their school district. For years, during the Chamber of Commerce’s State of Education events, we listened to our educational leaders tell us what they thought needed to take place. Then we discovered we were missing the real story. For years, those leaders failed to tell the community about a 10-year performance and achievement decline of a district that once was above-average. Last year, State of the Education gave us a Cliffs Notes report of the depths the district had dropped, Educate Texas’ exemplary efforts and the Education Midland initiative. We were offered hope that things would get better. When the tax ratification election failed miserably in November, we found out we were going to have to wait to see better days. We hope this year, State of Education takes a different turn. Sure, we can have a recap of what has been a busy start of 2017. Even Monday night’s MISD board meeting was newsworthy. So yes, there might be a need to explain how the news made from that meeting will impact the district’s students moving ...

District 2-6a Looking Very Competitive Early On

... Two games into the district slate, that appears to be the case. Midland High sits atop the standings in first at 2-0, but Lee, Odessa Permian, Odessa High and Wolfforth Frenship are all in a four-way logjam in a tie for second at 1-1. Frenship reached the Class 6 A regional semifinals in 2016, Permian made it to the regional quarterfinals last year and Odessa High is ranked No. 20 in the Texas Girls Coaches Association state poll. Even Lee, one year after missing the playoffs to end a string of 11 straight postseason appearances, looks much improved with a 17-4 overall record. In the four games between the top five teams so far, all of the games have been decided by a total of seven runs. “I think it will probably stay that way until the very end,” Lady Rebels coach Wes Overton said. “Obviously, Midland High is the only team that is undefeated, but I don’t think anybody will go through this thing undefeated. The teams are just too close.”. Both Midland ISD teams play key games against those top five teams today. Lee visits Frenship at 7 p.m., while MHS hosts Permian at 4 p.m. at James R. “Buddy” Martin ...

Where's The Line? Theme Parks Aiming To Eliminate Them

... the building, visitors are given a card with one of the colors in the NBC peacock logo. When it's their turn to go on the ride, lights in the waiting area will flash their color and the singers will announce the color. If they don't want to wait in the building, they can return at a designated time. Universal hasn't released many details about how virtual lines will work at Volcano Bay, other than to say a watch-like device named "Tapu Tapu" will be given to visitors. It will flash "Ride Now" when it's their time to go on a ride. Technology and our growing impatience with waiting are driving the move toward virtual lines, Speigel said. The proliferation of cell phone apps, along with the development of wristbands that emit radio signals, pioneered by Disney and able to track movement, made the virtual lines technically possible. America's growing impatience with waiting, from speed dating to Amazon Prime's two-hour deliveries makes it culturally imperative. "Nobody wants to stand in line. We want to be first," Speigel said. ...
