BEAUMONT (June 25, 2014) A Beaumont police officer was on administrative leave Wednesday after shooting and killing an 80-year-old man who refused to drop his rifle after a woman reported that her landlord had fired at her.
Police Wednesday identified the man as Stanley Leger, a Beaumont taxidermist.
A woman called 911 Tuesday night and reported that a man fired at her from across the street while she was outside a residence, police Sgt. Rob Flores Jr. said.
She wasn't hurt.
Police say Leger was carrying a rifle as officers arrived and refused to drop the weapon.
Leger was shot after he pointed the rifle at an officer, who was not injured.
Leger died at a Beaumont hospital.
Flores had no information on whether the woman and Leger had a dispute.

I'm about to rant a bit, but I'll try to keep it calm.
I've been using WP for about 6 months to develop sites for a few clients. WP seemed like the best solution at the time, but now I'm having second thoughts. I should explain my background a bit, because it might be relevant: I spent 10 years as a UNIX/C application developer, then the past 15 years as a web designer / developer. While I no longer really consider myself a "coder", I can get by with PHP and Javascript. More importantly, I believe that everything should be "tweakable".
WordPress(.com)-hosted blogs seem very easy for the novice user, and it's not that hard to do a self-hosted WP site if you stick with a pre-built (and pre-tested) theme, and just live in WYSIWYG world. But since I need to customize things for my clients in ways that just can't be done within digging into the code, I find myself constantly bumping into roadblocks. Not only are things like pages, posts, and categories sometimes confusing in their behavior, but it's often hard to find the PHP file where something critical is happening.
It seems to me that WP was a fine blogging platform, but now has so much stuff duct-taped on in an attempt to support more than just plain blogging sites. Unfortunately, it feels like a house that had 20 different contractors put on additions, without much regard to what others have done or with the overall plan.
I'm also constantly astonished out how brain-dead the admin screens are sometimes. It's as if the people who built their look and functionality never used them for a site with more than 10 pages. I'm happy that others have written great plugins that streamline my site building and admin tasks, but there shouldn't *have* to be plugins to do this - it should be native. So for my second analogy, it's like WordPress is a car you buy, but with a stick for steering, a few bricks on rope you throw out the window to slow down, and some lawn chairs for seats. If you want anything fancier, you have to get the "steering wheel", "brakes", and "seats" plugins.
It's great that there is such a robust "ecosystem" around WP, with thousands of developers working hard and contributing plugins, themes, etc. And I get it that WP is free. But I just want to give my clients the ability to edit their own content (without breaking my design) and be able to throw in some cool functionality. Why does WordPress make that so hard?
Am I just being cranky in thinking that WP feels more like "alpha" code ("beta" at best) but isn't really "ready to ship" yet?
Really interesting in hearing others' opinions...

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Apr 04th, 2007
Running Time: 129
Company: Sinsation Pictures
Cast: Kaiya Lynn, Kimberly Kane, Katja Kassin, Jenna Presley, Luci Diamond, Angela Stone, Mika Tan, Melissa Lauren, Nyomi Marcella, Eva Angelina, Felix Vicious, Julie Night, Avy Lee Roth, Nicki Hunter, Shy Love, Jenaveve Jolie, Michelle Sweet, Jasmine Byrne, Mia Smiles
Critical Rating: AAA 1/2
There's no question that this all-girl masturbation release (no pun intended) has some of the hottest girls in the industry; it's a virtual who's who of slutdom. And it's not very often that you'll get 20 beauties on one title. However, it's a slippery slope to navigate in the porno world of vigorous throat fucks and gaping anal reamings. Will a female whack title hold up?
The high points are many in My Space; a clever moniker derived from the popular online community. The music is slick, the settings are cool and the solo performances by Eva Angelina and Kimberly Kane are outstanding.
The threeway bonus scene with Kane, Felix Vicious and Michelle Sweet just might be the highlight of the title for those who like to see actual body contact.
Everyone has their own sexual bag (or rub, as it were) and it's tough to scrap with the gonzo boys, but Sinsation pulls out all of the stops with this one.

I'm consistently running into an invalid selector exception when I attempt to set multiple UIBarButtonItems in MonoTouch.
In the simulator, there are no issues at all. Each button I add works correctly. Only when I deploy to a test device (iPhone 3G with iOS 4.2.1 installed) does it throw this error:
-[UINavigationItem setRightBarButtonItems:animated:]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xef7af0
I have tried using the RightBarButtonItems property and the explicit SetRightBarButtonItems method, passing a UIBarButtonItem[] instance in each case.
Maybe the way to get around this is to use a ToolBar with a custom view, but I'd rather just use the API as advertised, especially if it works correctly in the simulator.
Anyone run into this?

khloe kardashian
Khloe Kardashian in JET Black Glazed Skinny Jeans
Khloe Kardashian was spotted making her way to her store DASH in West Hollywood, California. The reality star wore a pair of JET Black Glazed Skinny Jeans with a bomber jacket and Louboutins. I think this is a good head-to-toe look. The slick back wet hair look is different from what we usually see from the sisters. It's a good change.
Khloe is loving her JET jeans right now. She has been wearing so many of their styles lately. As she is one that is more bold with her denim choices, I am interested in seeing what other styles by JET we will see her in. They have a studded pair that I could see her wearing. You can click here to purchase these jeans from the JET website for $198.
Khloe Kardashian in Jet Jeans Patch Moto Skinny jeans
Khloe Kardashian and her brother Rob were photographed while catching a flight out of the Burbank airport. I feel like since Kim had her baby, the Kardashians haven't been photographed out as much.
Khloe wore a pair of Jet patched skinny jeans with a long sweater and heels. We haven't seen as many celebs out in JET as we used to, but Khloe was just seen in a pair a couple of months ago. I do think that I prefer this pair since I like how the patches are a more streamlined version of the popular moto style. You can buy these jeans online from Jet Jeans for $194.
Khloe Kardashian in Rag & Bone Skinny Jeans in Bromley
Khloe Kardashian headed in to Bruce Jenner's Malibu beach house to film for the family reality show Keeping Up With The Kardashian's.
Khloe wore her favourite Rag & Bone The Skinny Jeans in Bromley with a chambray shirt and booties. We have spotted her out in these jeans quite a few times now, I think they might be her favourites at the moment! You can buy these jeans online at Shopbop.com for $220.

Khloe Kardashian in J Brand Embroidered Skinny Jeans
Khloe Kardashian was spotted in yet another all white look during a stop to check out some artwork in the canyons of California. The tv personality wore a pair of the J Brand Embroidered jeans with a pair of studded Louboutins and a white t shirt.
Along with being a huge fan of all white this summer, Khloe seems to be a huge fan of shopping at Intermix. She is constantly caught in their exclusives, whether it be by Rag & Bone or J Brand. This pair (part of J Brand's 20th Anniversary Collection) here is just another cool pair added to her collection. What do you think of them? You can click here to purchase them EXCLUSIVELY at Intermix for $299.

Ost leads Bison to district title

The awards are presented annually to eight of the country's
most experienced school sports leaders who deliver quality
sporting opportunities for their pupils, and influence
sporting agendas, in both their school and the wider
To have two awarded in Dunedin exceeded the odds, Mr
Reddington said.
The two will go to Melbourne in November to look at some of
the Australian sports schools and colleges and attend the
Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and
Recreation Conference, where they will give a presentation on
the New Zealand Sport and Education Project.
It was hoped the trip would also help make the project more
She said the project involved weaving sport into all areas of
the curriculum.
''We're looking for teachers to use sport and the values of
sport to connect with their subjects.

Cold, Flu, & Cough Health Center
What Puts You at Risk for the Flu?
In this article
Are you more likely to catch the flu this season? What about your family members or colleagues?
Knowing what boosts your odds of getting the illness can help you and those around you avoid it.
Did You Know?
Under the Affordable Care Act, many health insurance plans will cover preventive care services, including checkups, vaccinations and screening tests, at no cost to you. Learn more.
Skipping the Shot
You're most likely to get the flu if you don't get immunized against it. The best way to avoid catching it is to get an annual flu vaccine.
Because the strain of flu virus changes over time, doctors come out with a new vaccine every year. So, it's important to stay current and get vaccinated each year -- preferably during October or November. But anytime before flu season begins is good.
The American Lung Association offers an online flu-vaccine clinic locator. Visit the site, enter your zip code and a date (or dates), and you'll get info about clinics scheduled in your area.
There's also a nasal flu vaccine called FluMist, which contains weakened live viruses. Don't get this nasal spray vaccine if you're pregnant, or if you have HIV/AIDS or another medical condition that weakens your immune system. FluMist is approved for healthy people between 2 and 49 years old. Also, the CDC now recommends the nasal spray vaccine for healthy children 2 through 8 years old.
Not Washing Your Hands
Frequent and thorough hand washing is key to keeping the flu away. Wash often during the day, and use warm water. Scrub them clean for about 20 seconds -- as long as it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" twice. Teach your family members to do the same.
Keep hand sanitizer with you at all times in case you can't get to a sink.
Remember, the flu is spread by people who are already infected. The most common "hot spots" for the virus are surfaces that an infected person has touched and rooms where she's been recently, especially areas where the person has sneezed.
Not Taking Care of Yourself
Your immune system may not be up to par if you don't eat a balanced diet, get regular exercise and plenty of sleep, and manage your stress.

A teenager has died after being shot with an airgun he and
four friends were playing with while they were drinking at a
Manurewa home last night.
Neighbours and people at the home tried to help the
18-year-old before he was rushed to Middlemore Hospital,
where he died shortly after arrival.
Police are considering whether charges will be laid as a
result of the death.
Detective Inspector Dave Lynch said the five youths at the
home "had been playing with an air rifle and an air pistol as
well as drinking alcohol".
"At this stage there is no indication that the shooting was a
deliberate act, however the exact circumstances around how
the 18-year-old was shot will be subject to a thorough
investigation by police," Mr Lynch said.
"The investigation will determine whether anyone will face
charges as a result of the death."
He said air guns were "powerful weapons that have potential
to kill or seriously injure".
"They need to be handled in the same manner as firearms and
certainly not used by anyone under the influence of alcohol.
"This tragedy should serve as a painful reminder that these
weapons are not toys and need to be used in a controlled
environment by responsible people with appropriate target
awareness and knowledge of their power."
A post-mortem examination is planned for today.
Mr Lynch said police were not looking for anyone else in
connection with the shooting and both weapons had been

More consistent use of condoms, oral contraception or both was reported by a group of teenage girls who took part in a youth development intervention aimed at reducing pregnancy risk in high-risk adolescents, according to a report.
The United States continues to have the highest rates of teen pregnancy and childbearing among industrialized nations, and each year more than 750,000 young women ages 15 to 19 become pregnant, resulting in more than 400,000 births, according to background information for the study, which appeared Feb. 25 on the website of JAMA Pediatrics (formerly the Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine).
Renee E. Sieving, RN, PhD, FSAHM, of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, and colleagues examined sexual risk behaviors and outcomes with a 24-month follow-up survey, six months after the conclusion of a youth development intervention.
The intervention, Prime Time, is for girls at high risk for pregnancy and designed for primary care clinics. The focus was on promoting change in selected psychosocial attributes linked to sexual risk behaviors and other behavioral outcomes through case management and peer leadership.
Of 253 sexually active 13- to 17-year-old girls who met specified risk criteria, 236 (93.3%) completed the 24-month survey. The trial included 126 girls assigned to the intervention and 127 assigned to the control group.
"Findings suggest that health services grounded in a youth development framework can lead to long-term reductions in sexual risk among vulnerable youth," the researchers wrote.
At 24 months follow-up, the intervention reported "significantly more consistent" use of condoms, hormonal contraception and dual-method contraception (hormonal contraception plus condoms) than the control group, according to results of data from self-report surveys. The girls in the intervention also reported improvements in family connectedness and self-confidence to refuse unwanted sex, and reductions in the perceived importance of having sex.
"Together with previous findings demonstrating reductions in sexual risk behaviors, relational aggression and violence victimization among Prime Time participants, results from this study suggest that involvement in a youth development intervention that combines individualized case management and youth leadership components holds great promise for preventing multiple risk behaviors among youth most vulnerable to poor health outcomes, including early pregnancy," the researchers concluded.
The study abstract is available at http://archpedi.jamanetwork.com/article.aspx?articleid=1655499.

The Beatles took part in only four official autograph signing sessions, two of which were on this day.
The first was at Dawson's music shop, at 29 Albert Road in Widnes, Cheshire. The signing began at 4pm and lasted for half an hour.
This was the day after the group's first single, Love Me Do, was released. Each Beatle signed their name on the single's red and silver label. Copies today are extremely valuable, due in part to the short duration of the signing.
The Beatles' second autograph signing session took place later on this day, at The Music Shop, 134 Widnes Road, Widnes.
The third signing occurred on 24 January 1963 at NEMS, Brian Epstein's record store in Liverpool, to coincide with the release of the Please Please Me single. A fourth session took place at the Wimbledon Palais, London on 14 December 1963, following their show for the Southern Area Fan Club members.

Dublin band the Original Rudeboys, rapper Example and R'n'B star Pitbull have also been lined up for a bumper weekend of music.
Rock fans may well be disappointed by the line-up – what with recent years seeing hit bands such as Cold Play, the Killers and the Foo Fighters all taking to the main stages at the Kildare festival. UK rapper Labrinth and pop star Rita Ora are also on the bill.
International DJ David Guetta will be back in Ireland after playing at Dublin's Marlay Park last summer.
Ireland is a popular venue for the house music producer, who is sure to have fans bopping along to classic hits such as Sexy Chic, Titanium and Without You.
The festival is on during August 2, 3 and 4 – bank holiday week. Dance act Calvin Harris was the first act to be unveiled.
He will be joined by hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks. On Tuesday, rappers Pitbull and Example were also announced.
Example has become one of the UK's biggest rap sensations having sold out his recent arena tour of Ireland and the UK.
Award-winning DJs Jack Beats and Duke DuMont have also been announced to play the Kildare festival. They will be joined by DJ Fresh, Soul Wax, Nero, Nicky Romero, Sasha, Wretch 32, The Dead Presidents, John Gibbons, Devlin, Otto Knows, Iggy Izalea, Dimitri Vegas and Like Mike.
Tickets go on sale this Friday from Ticketmaster. Early bird prices for a three-day weekend camping ticket are €149.50, and a two-day weekend, non-camping ticket is €129.50. The early bird tickets are available for 24 hours only.
The popular festival was "rested" last year following the 2011 extravaganza with speculation that ticket sales were dwindling. The 2011 concert had a stellar line-up, with Beyonce, Coldplay, the Black Eyed Peas and the Foo Fighters all performing.

There's an excellent
Submitted by jim on Mon, 12/11/2000 - 11:45
There's an excellent review of The Blood Poets over at Salon. A thoughtful look at violence in the movies; much better than the common "there's too much" theme.

"We don't need a film to show us that violence is sordid and repulsive. We already know this." Wrong! Lots of people don't know this, and we need at least as many movies to show us this as present glamorised violence.

Is there a way to rotate only the origin, without rotating the geometry? All I can think of is rotating the whole object in object mode. Once the local axis points in the direction I need, then I go in edit mode and rotate the geometry back in the opposite direction, to its original position. I can live with that, but is there another (faster) way to do this?
First go into Edit Mode (Tab). Select the whole mesh (A) and copy it to the buffer (CtrlC).
Leave Edit Mode Tab and rotate (R) your object as you like. Then go back into Edit Mode, delete the whole mesh (X or DEL).
While still in Edit Mode, paste the mesh from the buffer (Space and type "Paste Selection from Buffer" then hit Enter).
Now leave Edit Mode and the mesh is back in place, but the object is rotated.
Not a direct button to do what you want, but this is pretty quick to do.
In object mode you could press Ctrl A, then select
WARNING : This will lose any modifiers and materials on the object – gandalf3
NOTE: You'll have to rename the object as its new name will be "Plane".

STOCKTON, Calif. - For the second time in eight months, a Stockton Ports starting pitcher came a few outs away from tossing a perfect game at Banner Island Ballpark. Eight months after Tanner Peters came two outs away from accomplishing the feat in August, Tim Atherton (3-0) fell five outs shy on Thursday night versus the Lake Elsinore Storm. Atherton retired the first 22 batters he faced before allowing a double to Diego Goris in the eighth inning as he helped the Ports to a 5-1 victory and their first series win of the season.
The Ports opened the scoring in the second as Aaron Shipman drove in his first run of the season with a two-out RBI single off Storm starter Joe Ross (1-2) to give the Ports a 1-0 lead. It was widened to 2-0 in the third when Matt Olson hit a solo homer to left-center with two outs.
Ross, the Storm starter, suffered the loss after going five innings and allowing two runs on six hits while striking out five.
Meanwhile, Atherton struck out two in the first, two in the second, and one each in the fourth and fifth as he continued to set the side down in order.
After striking out Gabriel Quintana to begin the eighth, Goris came to bat and on a two-strike pitch lined a double over the head of Ports center fielder Billy McKinney to break up the perfect game bid. Luis Domoromo followed with an RBI single up the middle to score Goris and make it a 2-1 game, at which point Atherton was lifted.
Atherton went on to earn the victory, tossing 7.1 innings and allowing the one run on two hits while striking out nine.
Austin House (SV, 2) was summoned from the bullpen and, after walking Stephen Carman, got John Nester to hit into an inning-ending double-play to preserve the one-run advantage.
Stockton tacked on three runs in the eighth off Storm reliever Ben Paullus. Dusty Robinson led the inning off with a single and Ryon Healy followed with a two-run homer to right to make it a 4-1 lead. After Bobby Crocker reached on a bunt-single and stole second, Wade Kirkland brought him home with an RBI single to right to make it 5-1.
House struck out two batters as part of a scoreless ninth to pick up his second save in as many chances for Stockton.
The Ports, riding their longest win streak of the season, welcome the High Desert Mavericks to town on Friday to begin a three-game series. Hunter Adkins (0-0, 10.80 ERA) will make his first start of the season for Stockton. First pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. PDT.

Conditions With Symptoms Similar to Depression in Children and Teens
Topic Overview
Certain medical or mental disorders can produce symptoms similar to depression. Before depression is diagnosed, it may be necessary to rule out other causes of the symptoms that your child or teen may be experiencing. These other disorders may be present along with depression. Examples of other conditions that can cause similar symptoms are:
- Dysthymic disorder, which has fewer symptoms and may be less severe than major depression but lasts longer.
- Substance abuse or dependency, which also can increase the risk of suicide in a child or teen.
- Anxiety disorders.
- Conduct disorder.
- Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
- Bipolar disorder, which consists of alternating episodes of depression and mania (irritability or elevated mood).
- Eating disorders.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder.
- Hypothyroidism.
- Anemia.
- Schizophrenia.

New research has put the official stamp on what many British motorists have long suspected: that our roads are the busiest and most congested in Europe.
Figures gathered by World Bank reveal that there are 77 vehicles per kilometre of British road. That's 76 per cent higher than the European average. In comparison, Norwegian roads, which are the quietest in Europe, have just 29 vehicles per kilometre of road.
Yet despite these figures, British motorists can drive safely knowing their roads are some of the safest in the world. Just 28 people were killed on our roads per million of population in 2012. That's the second lowest total in the EU after Malta.
There were 33,760 road deaths in the US throughout 2012. That's one of the highest road fatality figures in the developed world and is three times higher than the UK fatality rate. A total of 1.24 million people are killed in road accidents around the world each year.
Although traffic has increased, UK road deaths have declined steadily. 7.700 deaths were recorded in 1972, 5,500 in the mid '80s and 1,754 in 2012. The current average is five deaths a day.
Serious injuries have decreased by 62 per cent since that date. Less serious injuries make up the main casualty numbers. 171,000 of these were recorded in 2012, but there could be more, as 40 per cent of whiplash claims go unreported.

Al Franken is (intentionally) making shit up in his latest fundraising email
Now this is a meeting with some serious comedic potential.
SEE ALSO: Michele Bachmann is making shit up in her latest fundraising email
When Michele Bachmann makes shit up in her fundraising emails, it's kinda funny, but unintentionally so. When Al Franken does it, it's just kinda funny.
In his latest please-give-me-money message, Franken harkens back to his comedic days of yore and places his email within the context of (fabricated) political fundraising history. Has he lost a step or two since he gave up the yuck yucks and headed to Washington? You be the judge.
Here's Franken's email (via the National Journal):
1808: Charles Cotesworth Pinckney's campaign sends history's first fundraising email, requesting 75 cents to "help defeat the scourge of the Embargo Act of 1807." Note: 75 cents would be around $10 in today's dollars.
1828: Andrew Jackson's campaign asks supporters to "give a Jackson to stand with Jackson." This failed because Andrew Jackson was not yet on the $20 bill and no one had any clue what he was talking about.
1924: Calvin Coolidge earns the nickname "Silent Cal" after his web team accidentally sends out a blank fundraising email. (It does surprisingly well.)
2012: (Insert your name here) donates $5, $10, or even $20 to help my campaign raise the $20,000 we need to keep our operation going and growing this month.

It's only advisable to push this to those who prefer "real-looking" performers.
Only the first of the three scenes is anything close to a gangbang, showing a slightly rough-looking Afro-babe called Shani taking on about five guys. There are some inspired moments here and there, though it'd be better if there were natural sounds heard and not the overbearing music track.
The last scene shows some poor soul trying to lay some pipe on Tori and Tee Tee, two rather big-boned babes. It doesn't look easy.

Consider that one want to keep a backup of some data by placing a media in a secret place (under earth, in a rock, in a wall...). What would be the best media with the best long term data stability (like 50 years or more) for such an experiment and why : a USB key, a DVD, a SD card, a HDD, a SSD or others, considering that no access will be performed on this media for 50 years.
Best media for long-term backup without access : USB key vs DVD vs SD card vs HDD vs SSD vs …? [closed]

Many good questions generate some degree of opinion based on expert experience, but answers to this question will tend to be almost entirely based on opinions, rather than facts, references, or specific expertise.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Your best option is M-Disk. You also should consider availability of a DVD players at the moment of access in future, for example consider reading a magnetic tape or a punched tape today. Not a trivial task. Same goes for all other options, of course.
Your second best option is Blu-ray disk, which is superior to DVD in terms of longevity with estimation of about 100-150 years. But you should consider a good package for that type of disk, since it's estimation goes for a living-room quality storage type. See also.
USB, SD, SSD, HDD are all relatively unreliable in terms of long-term storage and you can expect about 10 years before degradation of data starts.
P.S. have found recently that M-Disc is also now available as Blu-Ray discs too.
I found a nice chart which shows the expectations of storage longevity in used and unused cases.
(I don't claim that the data shown in this picture is 100% correct. But the creators provide sources to every data of storage type.)
Keep in mind that the tricky part is how to access the data in 100 years if the technologies to read it back is only available in museums.
Some of their sources
A USB key, SD card, and an SSD are all flash memory. An HDD is magnetic, and a DVD is optical. So this question becomes flash vs magnetic vs optical.
I would say optical media (DVD, CD, etc.) would be best for this scenario. While all three of these data mediums are non-volatile (they don't require a continuous power input to hold their contents), I think that optical media will degrade less over long periods of time (assuming that you're keeping this medium in a sealed location where there are few outside forces acting on it). Flash and magnetic media use electric/magnetic charges to hold data, which may degrade over time. The charge may get weaker with time. Optical media, especially if you are using a read-only disc, will be much more reliable because the laser used to burn the data into the medium actually creates a permanent change.
Of course, I could be talking out of my ass right now. In which case, please correct me. It'll be a good learning opportunity as well.

Crennel and the Chiefs beat the Packers that way...
The timing is so important for passing teams like the Saints/Packers that if the niners are able to disrupt teams with the bump-and-run it may work.
Is this the key for us to beat the Saints and Packers?
Have we played a lot of press coverage during the season? (I haven't watched enough games to notice)
Do we have the personnel that can play good press coverage?
Should we play a lot of nickel/dime packages and play press coverage with safety help?
Maybe we should dare teams to run ... will the niners be good at stopping the run even in their nickel/dime packages?

Wheat Climbs on 'Surprise' Demand From China, Weather Concerns
Wheat futures extended the biggest advance in a week on unexpected demand from China for exports from the U.S., the world's largest shipper.
China, the biggest consumer, bought 116,000 metric tons from the U.S. in the week ended March 17, the most for any week since July 2005, Department of Agriculture data showed. Wheat in Zhengzhou jumped to a record last month on speculation that drought in the country's growing areas would cut supplies. Rains and irrigation have partly eased concerns since then.
"Imports will rise by more than 30 percent this year to top 2 million tons, because we suspect that the local harvest may be 11 million tons short of the government estimate," Li Qiang, managing director of Shanghai JC Intelligence Co., said in a phone interview today.
Production will be little changed at 115.1 million tons in the year ending June, the China National Grain and Oils Information Center predicted this month.
"From a regional standpoint, if China's having a problem in their central and northern growing belts, it would probably show up first in wheat" crops because the growing season is earlier than corn, said Mike Zuzolo, the president of Global Commodity Analytics & Consulting in Lafayette, Indiana. China also may be buying to cool food inflation, he said.
Wheat futures for May delivery climbed 0.6 percent to $7.4425 a bushel at 10:33 a.m. in Beijing today after yesterday increasing 3.5 percent, to $7.395 on the Chicago Board of Trade, the biggest gain for a most-active contract since March 17.
Price Surge
The price has surged about 56 percent in the past year as drought spurred Russia to ban grain exports, while floods eroded crops in Canada and Australia. Worldwide food expenses reached a record last month, the United Nations said.
Chinese food costs jumped 11 percent in February from a year earlier. The country is expected to be self-sufficient in wheat this year after becoming a net importer in 2010 for the first time in five years, according to the USDA.
The amount was a "surprise," said Larry Glenn, an analyst at Frontier Ag in Quinter, Kansas. China in 2010 was a net importer of corn for the first time in 14 years, USDA data show.
"Based on my experience, if you're really expecting China to buy corn, you'd expect them to buy wheat first," Zuzolo said. "Their policy is to try to keep more corn in-house, not export it, but not import it either. Their policy is more prone to bringing in wheat than it is corn."
High Quality
China's purchase announced yesterday included 90,000 tons of the hard, red spring variety, 20,000 tons of white wheat, and 6,000 tons of soft, red winter wheat, the USDA said. Spring wheat, grown in the north central and northwest U.S., is used to make bread. White wheat is for bread and noodles, while the soft, red winter variety is for cookies and pastries.
"The Chinese demand for animal feed is robust, so China may import high-quality U.S. wheat for flour and use its own low-quality varieties as feed," Shanghai JC's Li said. "China is also importing Australian feed wheat these days."
Futures also gained on speculation the U.S. Great Plains won't get sufficient rain to relieve dry conditions, Glenn said.
Texas has its worst drought in 44 years, according to the state climatologist, and dryness stretches to Oklahoma, Colorado and Kansas. Some areas may get 0.5 inch (1.3 centimeters) of rain in the next week, Commodity Weather Group said.
"We do have some moisture headed at the Plains states, but I don't think it's going to be enough," Glenn said.
Wheat was the fourth-biggest U.S. crop in 2010 at $13 billion, behind corn, soybeans and hay, government data show.

Christie, who claimed the World Cup title in the 1000m this season, won both her heat and semi-final in the 1500m in Debrecen to reach the final, where she was the only European entrant. However the 22-year-old, who won gold over the distance at the European Championships in January as well as in the 1000m for second overall, couldn't work her way onto the podium. She finished in sixth place in a time of 2:59.703minutes as Park, who won the 1500m, 3000m and overall world title in 2010, took gold ahead of compatriot Shim Suk Hee with Canada's Marianne St-Gelais claiming bronze. Christie was the only British finalist on the opening day with Charlotte Gilmartin, who won bronze in the 1500m at the European Championships, being penalised in her semi-final. Two-time Olympian Jon Eley didn't make it out of the heats of men's 1500m but Paul Stanley put up a fight to just get edged out at the semi-final stage as Sin Da Woon completed a Korean double. It was also a Korean one-two in both races as Kim Yun-Jae collected silver behind Sin, who clocked a winning time of 2:27.062, with another Canadian in the shape of Charles Hamelin in third. And to complete a fine first day for Korea, their ladies' 3000m relay team was the fastest of the qualifiers out of the semi-finals clocking 4:15.233 with China, Japan Canada and joining them in the medal race.

Higher education means intellectually advanced
Published: Sunday, June 1, 2008 at 12:29 p.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, June 1, 2008 at 12:31 p.m.
I appreciated the respectful tone he took in referring to me as "the writer," instead of "the ignoramus."
Unfortunately, I must disagree with Mr. Black once more. I don't believe that abstaining from watching or reading pornographic literature should be labeled "immature."
The subject of human sexuality is a popular theme within academic circles. However, as it is also a popular theme within adolescent circles, I don't think its mere presence should be considered plausible evidence of maturity.
Many assume that literature with sexual content is more "grown-up." Those who view it more conservatively are ridiculed by Mr. Black as "gutless puppies" who aren't mature enough to face "the real world of college."
Colleges were instituted for the pursuit of higher education "higher" implying intellectually advanced or more profound, not just taller than you were in middle school.
Education should heighten the student's character, not shipwreck his morality for the sake of his becoming more "open-minded."
Academic freedom will not be attained by blindly swallowing every publication you find in your path (or in your textbook), but by carefully selecting good literature that edifies the reader.

Salt and Your Blood Pressure
The link between sodium and blood pressure has been rocky in recent years. Two decades ago, the landmark study known as Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) showed that a low-sodium, low-fat diet -- high in calcium, fruits, and vegetables -- had a direct impact on lowering blood pressure.
But a study last year challenged that dictum. It indicated that high-sodium intake is a marker for a poor-quality diet. It wasn't the sodium that affected blood pressure, but the lack of other important vitamins and minerals. That study was funded by the salt industry.
David McCarron, MD, a longtime paid consultant for the salt industry, presented these findings at the American Heart Association's 57th annual high blood pressure research conference last year.
However, a new report from the DASH research group shows -- once again -- that cutting sodium improved blood pressure, especially as people hit their 40s and 50s.
"In general, people who are older benefit more from lowering their sodium. Around age 40, 50, we begin to see a real difference," says Daniel W. Jones, MD, a hypertension expert with the University of Mississippi, and spokesman for the American Heart Association.
Whether a person is salt-sensitive is at the heart of this issue. Everyone's response to sodium is different, Jones explains. Obese people and black people, seem to benefit more from sodium restriction than white people do, studies have shown.
But he says "that most people have some salt sensitivity," says Jones. "Some have more than others." Problem is, there is no easy test for determining salt sensitivity, he explains.
His personal philosophy: "Everyone hopes to become old, and as we get older, we become sensitive to salt. It makes sense to start early enough to affect your health. I think the direct health benefits from restricting sodium -- like the DASH study -- does call for restricting sodium," says Jones.

Early years
Edsel Galeos was the sixth of seven children of Jesus Mondragon Galeos and Vicenta Albina Amatong, former public school teachers. He was born on March 12, 1959 in Argao and spent his elementary years in town. By his own admission his family was not well-off; although the Galeoses and Mondragons and the Amatongs are descended from various powerful and wealthy families such as Ceballos, Lucero, Kintanar, and Espina, by the time Edsel was born the family was already struggling. In an interview with The Freeman, he noted that "he did not enjoy a comfortable life while he was growing up. He would walk to school everyday, had only one pair of pants and had to give up his dream of becoming a doctor because his family could not afford to send him to medical school. He instead took up engineering and relied on a scholarship so he could finish college. He strived hard to become successful, thinking that he would not let his children go through the same hardships that he went through.1"
However, as characterized by many of his family members, he was a resourceful and hardworking individual who eventually finished a degree in engineering.
He married Grace Flores Sarmago, two years his junior and a sixth cousin through the Flores line, on September 8, 1989, in Argao, Cebu. Their children are Ian (b. 1990), Grazel (b. 1991), and Eron (b. 1997).
Ancestry & Relationships with other leaders

Political Career
After the end of Wilfredo Caminero's term in 2007 the political factions of Argao once more gathered to see who can best serve the town as mayor. Before long, an unlikely candidate was found in the person of Edsel Galeos, a successful engineer and businessman who was, in all respects, a newbie at politics. Edsel Galeos's entry to politics was unconventional. He had just recovered from a serious illness which almost killed him, and his second lease at life was what finally convinced him to run for mayor. In a speech he gave in 2008 during the Garbo 400 Awards Night: "As some of you may know, I was seriously ill throughout most of 2006. But I made a deal with God. I vowed to Him that if He were to give me another chance, another shot at life, I would dedicate every waking second of it to Him. I do not know what I have done to deserve a second chance at life, but when I was declared cured from my illness I agreed to run for mayor of Argao after various political leaders and members of different sectors requested me to run for office. By the grace of God, I have been blessed with the cooperation and dedication of most of our employees. We have been showered with financial support from both the government and our own citizens."
After getting the support of various political factions and interest groups in town Edsel Galeos embarked on a campaign of honesty, integrity, work dedication, discipline, performance, and transparency. Initially, a former councilor of Mayor Caminero, Alfredo Lanticse, ran for mayor as well but backed out of the race at the very last minute. Thus, Edsel Galeos's candidacy was unopposed.
Mayor Galeos's First 100 Days. Mayor Edsel Galeos, upon starting his administration, was guided by two slogans: the first, "Sa atong panaghi-usa ug pagpakabana, kalambo-an sa Argao" – through our unity and awareness, progress for Argao; and the second, "Lihok Argao! Kung dili ikaw, kinsa man? Kung dili karon, kanus-a man?" – Move forward (or work) Argao! If not us, who? If not now, when?". These were the inspirations of Mayor Galeos when he reached out to the various sectors of Argao to encourage them to support him.
Mayor Galeos immediately consulted with the various sectors of the town to help identify the priorities for his first 100 days in office. The different departments of the municipality were reorganized and the administration called for the reiteration of commitment of all employees. A general clean-up and uplift of the different offices and surrounding areas of the pueblo was started with the newly created Mayor's Action Team taking the lead. The municipal plaza was given a complete make-over and improved with new plants, benches, and landscaping. Lights and sound and internet connection was installed in the plaza. The make-over of the plaza, renamed the Argao Unity Plaza, impressed many officials from the province and Governor Garcia even once called it the most beautiful plaza in the whole of Cebu.
The town's public market was also improved, with additional spaces provided to vendors. Bleachers were constructed at the farmers' trading post. Also, a motor poll site at barangay Canbanua was fenced off to serve as a garage for all vehicles of the local government, which include heavy equipments and other municipal properties. Public terminals were constructed and established for the benefit of both the passengers and public utility vehicle operators. Other projects included road asphalting, construction of a roasting area at the abattoir, improvement of the municipal stage and tennis court.
The new administration also called on the support of the barangay captains. Above all, the town became a leader in e-governance with the implementation of full computerization for all government transactions. Through the creation of an IT office with Mr. Querubin Lucero Momongan taking the lead, the municipality was able to fully automate the Real Property Tax Assessment, Collection and Delinquency Tracking System. Other computer application programs developed and now being used include New Government Accounting System, Treasury Operations, Police Crime Tracking System, Human Resources Management and Information System, Infrastructure Project Inventory and Payroll System, Botica ng Barangay Order, Sales and Inventory Form, and Web Development and Hosting System. After having been acknowledged on the success of its civil applications system automation, Mayor Galeos received one unit of Enterprise Server from the Presidential Management Staff of the Office of the President, through Honorable Cerge M. Remonde, Director General of PMS. This gift was given Argao in recognition of the IT Department's being the champion of eGovernance among LGU's nationwide. With the acquisition of an Enterprise Server, the dream of connecting Argao to the world has become a reality. The Local Broadband Network, also known as WI-MAX, project is in its initial stage now and before long twenty (20) barangays will be enjoying free internet and voice communication through VOIP. It is expected that by 1st quarter of 2009, all forty-five (45) barangays will be electronically connected to the municipality. With the connection of all barangays, the Municipality's services can be accessed at the Barangay level. The residents, especially those at the upland areas, may pay their taxes at their respective barangay. This monumental project is a testament of Mayor Galeos' commitment to bring Argao to the world stage in Information Technology and is just one of the many life-changing projects that Mayor Galeos has initiated for the Municipality of Argao. The town also launched, in 2009, the eBayad system where people may also start paying their taxes and other government-related transactions in the comforts of their home.
National Consultant for Waterworks. In 2008, President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo designated Mayor Edsel Galeos as a consultant for the National Government's water projects, impressed as she was by the southern town's irrigation scheme. Arroyo, who visited Argao last May 19, 2008, saw the system that, for only P300,000, has benefited about 80 families without using any electricity.
According to then Presidential Management Staff Chief Cerge Remonde, the President was very impressed with this because as this was part of the government's program, especially since the Philippines has been confronted with the global food crisis and the government has been trying to enhance food production. So, she immediately ordered the National Irrigation Administration to go to Argao to study the Galeos model. She then appointed Mayor Galeos as a national consultant for small irrigation projects.
Although Mayor Galeos was no longer eligible to receive a separate salary as consultant because he was already a government official, as an incentive President Arroyo promised to give Argao P20,000 for every small irrigation project that the mayor can help create elsewhere in the country.

Being an engineer himself, Mayor Galeos's thrust in governance has been focused on infrastructure. Asphalting and construction of roads, rehabilitation of schools, and many more have so far been implemented by the mayor.
2nd term. In 2010 Mayor Galeos ran for a second term under the administration ticket of Governor Garcia's One Cebu Party. Despite his running under the Garcia-Soco ticket, almost everyone in Argao voted for the Liberal Party's official candidates, Argawanon Hilario "Jun-Jun" P. Davide III and his running mate Vice-Governor Greg Sanchez.

"Pheonix park ? nope" Top 5 Page for this destination Around Dublin Tip by sourbugger

Looking over a map of Dublin's transport network, you might think it would be nice to visit Pheonix park for the zoo, the wellington monument and the other attractions - and it has a handy railway station.
nope, sorry. The station is built on the site of the former racecourse and is nothing more than a commuter station stuck out on the N3. Dozens of tourists get caught out every month..it's a long walk from the station - and there are no signposts or clues to help you.
