For years during the Congressional Black Caucus' festive annual gala, black professionals whispered about the perceived extravagance associated with one of Washington's premiere black social events. On Capitol Hill, where perception is everything, black members of Congress were known more for throwing lavish parties than sponsoring serious legislation.
Over cocktails and shrimp, questions were raised privately about whether the Congressional Black Caucus was actually working in the best interest of black Americans while accepting money from corporations to pay millions of dollars for expensive receptions, fashion shows and long-winded testimonials to honor each other.
But nobody dared to talk out of school.
Last week, The New York Times put an abrupt end to the whisper campaign, reporting that of the $55 million the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) raised from 2004 to 2008, only $1 million went to its non-profit network.
"The caucus says its non-profit groups are intended to help disadvantaged African-Americans by providing scholarships and internships to students, researching policy and holding seminars on topics like healthy living," according to the Times' blockbuster investigation. "But the bulk of the money has been spent on elaborate conventions that have become a high point of the Washington social season, as well as the headquarters building, golf outings by members of Congress and an annual visit to a Mississippi casino resort."
"In 2008, the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation spent more on the caterer for its signature legislative dinner and conference — nearly $700,000 for an event one organizer called 'Hollywood on the Potomac' — than it gave out in scholarships, federal tax records show," the Times reported.
Today, there are more questions – and serious concerns – about the CBCF, an organization which appears to have dubious fundraising practices and little regard for how money is spent on worthy causes for disenfranchised black citizens.
And worse, all eight current House investigations involve black Caucus members "and most center on accusations of improper ties to private businesses," according to the Times.
Have black congressional leaders betrayed the trust of African Americans who are suffering? Has money been siphoned off from black single mothers and single fathers, raising children alone? What about black high school students who have great promise but no financial resources for college? And have black seniors received their fair share of funding for assistance with health care in their communities?
To say the CBCF has an image problem is a huge understatement. What's clear is this: The Caucus needs an extensive – and immediate – overhaul along with an impartial auditor to oversee the books, page by page, line by line. There are no quick fixes here. The Times story alleges there is so much co-mingling between the Congressional Black Caucus and the CBCF, that it's difficult to determine where the politics end and non-profit work begins.
And here's some irony: Each year, the CBCF offers forums during its conference, internships and retreats designed to mentor young black professionals – "the emerging leaders of tomorrow." So with eight Caucus members under investigation for potential ethics violations, what message is the CBCF sending to young black men and women who are considering a life in public service or thinking about running for elected office? Is this the best our current black leaders in Congress have to offer young people?
And there's more.
"Even as it has used its status as a civil rights organization to become a fund-raising power in Washington, the caucus has had to fend off criticism of ties to companies whose business is seen by some as detrimental to its black constituents. These include cigarette companies, Internet poker operators, beer brewers and the rent-to-own industry, which has become a particular focus of consumer advocates for its practice of charging high monthly fees for appliances, televisions and computers," according to the Times.
These accusations beg for a more detailed response from the leadership of the CBCF.
The new chairman of the CBCF – Rep. Donald Payne of New Jersey – hasn't publicly uttered a word on the subject. Payne inherited this embarrassing mess from outgoing CBCF chairman Rep. Kendrick Meek of Florida, who is busy running for a U.S. Senate seat. Some of the CBCF's alleged mismanagement happened during Meek's tenure as chairman, but Meek, like Payne, has also been silent on the need for checks and balances inside the CBCF.
Later this year, the CBCF will host its 2010 legislative conference, which is likely to include an awards dinner, a fashion show, and tons of food. Perhaps it's time for the CBCF to scale back on the gala and related parties, go easy on all the self-congratulatory receptions and offer black participants more in the way of substance – especially in these troubling economic times, where the black unemployment rate is a staggering 16.4 percent.
Meanwhile, the CBCF Web site is promoting an upcoming musical event in New York City on Feb. 26 – "a night of high-energy" and Broadway entertainment.
"Proceeds from ticket sales will support CBCF's mission to advance the global black community by developing leaders, informing policy and educating the public," the CBCF promises.
We'll see.

Why Matt Forte Makes Sense For Patriots - And Why He Doesn't
By Matt Dolloff, CBS Boston
BOSTON (CBS) -- Veteran Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte announced on Instagram Friday that the team will not re-sign him. The 30-year-old Forte will become an unrestricted free agent when the trading period begins at 2 p.m. on Wednesday, March 9.
Now that it's official that Forte will be on the free-agent market, he will be arguably the top running back available - even at age 30. The New England Patriots have a need at the running back position and figure to clear plenty of cap space in the offseason, so would it make sense to bring Forte to Foxboro?
Let's go over the reasons why Forte would make sense for the Patriots to acquire - and also why he would not.
Why Forte Makes Sense For The Patriots
1. He would fill a need and be a dynamic weapon for Tom Brady and the offense. Assuming Forte still has some juice left in the tank, he is big enough to run between the tackles and has some of the best hands of any running back in the league, which could keep him on the field for all three downs for the Patriots. Most importantly, Forte would be a legitimate threat to make big plays every time he touches the ball, something the Patriots haven't had at the running back position in some time.
That wheel route play that Brady and Josh McDaniels love to run so much with their running backs? Forte could nail it.
2. He wants to win a Super Bowl. "My only regret is not being able to win a Lombardi trophy for the best fans in all of sports," Forte said in his Instagram post bidding farewell to the Chicago faithful. He clearly wants to win a ring before calling it a career, and there would be few better franchises, if any, that would give him a chance to accomplish that than the Patriots.
Most of the 2015 playoff teams are not in need of a premium back, which would leave Forte off their wish list. This could likely leave the Patriots competing with teams like Seattle, Dallas, Houston, and the New York Giants for his services. If the interest is mutual, perhaps Forte could agree to a team-friendly deal rather than break the bank.
Why Forte Doesn't Make Sense For The Patriots
1. The Patriots already have their third-down back - and his backup. As good as Forte could be on early downs, much of Forte's value comes from his pass-catching ability, and the presence of Dion Lewis would eat into some of that. Lewis emerged as a legitimate weapon for the offense and signed a contract extension, which ensures his place in the offense for at least one more season, and James White proved to be a serviceable backup in that role after Lewis went down with a torn ACL.
It seems more likely that the Patriots add a less pricey power back to complement Lewis, and that guy could come off the scrap heap just like No. 33 did. Speaking of price tags...
2. His contract might not be desirable for the team. Forte could be the top running back available on the free-agent market. 2014 rushing leader DeMarco Murray scored a five-year, $40 million contract ($21 million guaranteed) with the Philadelphia Eagles as the best back available last year. Forte, however, is 30 years old with plenty of tread on his tires, and didn't have nearly the kind of season Murray had in 2014, so he's more likely to sign a deal in the range of what DeAngelo Williams and Frank Gore (both 32 years old) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts, respectively.
Gore signed a three-year, $12 million contract with the Colts as a 31-year-old, including $6.5 million guaranteed, while Williams signed with the Steelers for two years and $4 million with just $1.13 million guaranteed. The Patriots could certainly work with a cap hit in the range of $2-4 million for Forte, but would they want to lock him up for multiple years when they already have several major contracts to work out on the defense?
Forte makes a lot of sense for the Patriots on the field. He meets a pressing need for the Patriots and could be outstanding in McDaniels' offense, as long as he hasn't lost much of his explosiveness. He would be motivated to win a Super Bowl and conduct himself like a consummate pro, which the Krafts would love.
However, Forte is 30 years old and could be on the verge of a steep decline, would be redundant on the roster as a pass-catching back, and could be out of the price range the Patriots may have for the position anyway. The price tag will ultimately be the deciding factor in whether Forte signs with New England, and if Forte is willing to sign for short money, Bill Belichick could consider bringing him in.

Ketosis is a state reached when the body is deprived of carbs-the body's main source of energy- for some time. When this happens, the body is forced to depend on another source of energy; stored fat. The unused fat that has been stored in the body is thus broken down into compounds known as ketones, and these ketones are then used for providing the body with energy. As soon as the body starts depending on fat rather than carbs for energy, ketosis has been reached.
Reducing carb intake and replacing it with a high fat intake can propel your body to start depending on the fat for its energy. But there is another quite simple way: fasting.
Yes, fasting can get you into ketosis. It goes without saying, or you can look at it in this crude way. The body is deprived of all kinds of nutrition (including carbs) for a period of time. It is then forced into generating energy by burning whatever stored fat it can find. But as simple as this may seem, it has to be done correctly to derive the best benefit and not cause health complications to self.

One thing about the Nigerian football league is that it is full of talented footballers, but most of them aspire to play outside the country. Many scouts visit the nation because of the abundant talents, and one Super Eagles player recently left the nation to play in another country.
The reward and aspiration of every footballer are to win trophies and Super Eagles defender, Anayo Iwuala, who left Enyimba for Esperance in less than two months won his first trophy with the club.
Iwuala is making the money Esperance paid on his behalf count already, he scored the winning goal and won the man of the match award in the Tunisian Super Cup, when his club faced CS Sfaxien.
This is his fourth club as a professional because he previously played for Kada City, Delta Force, and Enyimba before joining the Tunisian side. This is his first professional trophy, and he surely hopes it is the first of many.
Fans love him already, congratulations to him.

A great editorial in the Wall Street Journal today written by Pat Toomey, President of the Club for Growth, which is in the same spirit as Sonoran Alliance's approach to intra-political struggles. Even our own Congressman, Jeff Flake, is mentioned as one of today's national conservative leaders.
Here is the reprint:
In Defense of RINO Hunting
By Pat Toomey
The Club for Growth Political Action Committee has long been attacked for intervening in Republican primaries and targeting the party's most economically liberal incumbents.
In 2000, Pennsylvania Rep. Jim Greenwood called the Club "cannibals." When the Club ran ads against Ohio Sen. George Voinovich and Maine Sen. Olympia Snowe for resisting President Bush's 2003 tax cut, Karl Rove deemed the ads "counterproductive."
And Newt Gingrich, the man who ushered in a conservative Republican majority in 1994, once denounced the Club. "Their strategy is explicitly wrong," he said. "The key is to elect more Republicans and have a bigger majority and be more inclusive."
Now comes Oklahoma Rep. Tom Cole, the man charged with rebuilding the GOP majority in the House. In a New York Times Magazine article, he denounced the Club for Growth's involvement in a special election in Ohio's fifth congressional district.
"The problem I have with the Club is I think they're stupid," Mr. Cole said. "They spend more money beating Republicans than Democrats."
Republicans would be better off, the argument goes, if the Club PAC spent its money targeting Democrats instead of liberal Republicans. This is the argument of politicians who care more about maintaining power than using that power to implement conservative policies.
Thus comes the demand for an uncompromising obeisance to the bottom line: Elect as many Republicans as possible, regardless of how they will vote once in office.
It is for this reason that challenges to incumbents are deemed sacrilegious, no matter how far the incumbent has strayed from conservative principles. And it is for this reason that party leaders defend some of the most liberal incumbents, also known as RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), and assail the Club PAC for helping to elect true conservatives.
In 2000, Rep. Tom Davis, then the chairman of the National Republican Campaign Committee, denounced the Club for supporting Scott Garrett's challenge to New Jersey Rep. Marge Roukema. Mr. Cole and the entire Oklahoma establishment backed Tom Coburn's primary opponent in the 2004 Senate race, Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys, viewing Mr. Coburn as too conservative to be electable. Led by President Bush, the GOP cavalry rallied behind liberal Arlen Specter in 2004, and Lincoln Chafee of Rhode Island and Joe Schwarz of Michigan in 2006.
Mr. Chafee, you may recall, is the same senator who refused to vote for the president in 2004, and voted against the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts and Justice Sam Alito's nomination.
This year, Mr. Gingrich and conservative favorite former Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele stumped for liberal incumbent Rep. Wayne Gilchrest against conservative state Sen. Andy Harris in a primary. Mr. Gilchrest was also defended by the Service Employees International Union. He lost by 10 points.
Let us take a moment to consider how these liberal Republicans are serving the GOP today. Mr. Specter, just in the past year, joined Democrats in voting for "card check" (which allows unions to organize without holding a secret ballot election), for increasing the minimum wage, for expanding the State Children's Health Insurance Program, and for the bloated farm bill.
Mr. Chafee, who was defeated, switched his party affiliation to Independent and has endorsed Barack Obama for president. Following his loss to conservative Tim Walberg in the 2006 primary, Rep. Schwarz of Michigan backed a state-level tax hike, and threatened to run against Mr. Walberg as a Democrat. Mr. Gilchrest has hinted recently that he will endorse the Democratic nominee for his seat. All four of these pols were heralded by the Republican establishment as genuine conservatives who would go to bat for the party when it mattered.
Conversely, many of the Republican candidates the Club for Growth's members have supported over the years are now leaders in the conservative movement and favorites among the party's grass roots. Sens. Coburn and Jim DeMint and Reps. Scott Garrett, Jeff Flake, John Campbell, Jeb Hensarling, Tim Walberg and Mike Pence are just some of the brave leaders who have led the fight for limited government and greater economic freedom.
Winning for the sake of winning is an excellent short-term tactic, but a lousy long-term strategy. Just look at the consequences of the 2006 congressional elections, when the GOP lost control of both houses of Congress.
A Republican majority is only as useful as the policies that majority produces. When those policies look a lot like Democratic ones, the base rightly questions why it should keep Republicans in power. As the party gears up for elections in the fall, it ought to look closely at the losses suffered under a political strategy devoid of principle. Otherwise, it can look forward to a bad case of déjà vu.
Mr. Toomey, a former Republican congressman from Pennsylvania, is president of the Club for Growth.

Women In Refrigerators is a website created in 1999 by known comic book writer Gail Simone. She got the name from a Green Lantern comic in which a love interest, Alexandra Dewitt, was killed and stuffed in a fridge for the simple purpose of motivating the male lead, Green Lantern. She and her friends were noticing a pattern: the sheer amount of women in fiction who are raped, maimed, or murdered for the sake of a man's character development or story. Originally the term referred to comic book storylines only, but in the two decades since, the term – most commonly known as "fridging" – has been expanded to refer to any medium. It appears most egregiously, in my opinion, in video games, but can be found in any medium. Here is, for example, a supercut of fridging in movies.
(Please note that TV Tropes include any character who suffers to motivate another character; in its original form, and in the way most people use it, it refers specifically to female characters killed for the sake of male characters development. When it's men, it is mostly often more accurately referred to as "dead men defrosting". Feminist Frequency has an excellent video about this entire subject.)
Think about it. How many heroes in video games have wives or daughters who were killed or raped, leading them on a rampage or to seek revenge? How many time is men's motivation, their call to action, the suffering of a woman? This is a mark of lazy writing, true. But what it really is, is a mark of the sexism in our society.
I once read an article (which I cannot find anywhere, but I did find another one that mentioned it) that pointed out that it wasn't only that women were hurt for men's development; it's also that women aren't treated the same way when it comes to backstories and motivations. Women are not only more likely to be permanently damaged or dead than the men, especially in comics, where the men come back to life or miraculously heal while the women very rarely do; it's also that in their backstory, it isn't that men but the women themselves who are tortured or raped. That is, in order to create a suitably tragic backstory for men, the writers hurt one or more of the women in their lives; in order to create a suitably tragic backstory for women, the writers also choose to hurt the women.
This came up for me recently (well, last summer) when I tried to make my way through Red Rising. Despite the many recommendations I got for the book, I was dismayed to find that no one had warned me about the fact that the plot is kick started by a woman getting herself killed in order to motivate the male lead into action. Again, this is lazy, sexist writing, and it frustrated me to the point that every time I try to pick it up and continue reading it, I can't help but think about this blatant fridging. (It's also, as far as I can tell, blatantly a rip-off of The Hunger Games, but on Mars, which doesn't help at all.)
When I brought it up in a conversation on discord, the people there responded with astonishment. Not only had they not thought about it, they couldn't imagine why I would find it appalling or offensive. I don't blame them for not noticing it. It's so common, it's hard to point it out. But when you do, you start seeing it everywhere. You realize stories you enjoy, maybe even love, are sexist. But we live in a sexist environment. We cannot ignore the sexist connotations of a trope. Things exist in context, and context cannot, and should not, simply be discarded when convenient.
I believe, more or less, in Death of the Author. We shouldn't rely on paratext in order to understand the media we consume. But that doesn't mean that when we interpret a text, we need to lay it completely bare, look at the text alone, and ignore the fact that it exists in the context of a wider environment. In fact, it is impossible to read a text without having our own paratext (in the wider sense) bleed into what we read, because we are human, and have a tendency to look at things a certain way. A gay person will look at the same text differently than a straight person, because they have different life experiences and therefore different biases. Similarly, a person with a degree in literature is most likely going to read a book differently than a person who never went to high school, because one is probably going to have a knowledge of literary theories the other does not. (Probably.)
So I believe in Death of the Author – to an extent. Books belong to their readers. You don't have to believe anything JK Rowling has said about Harry Potter outside of the actual text of the books. But just the knowledge of what JK Rowling has said about the books is going to color the way you read the books. And similarly, you can't say "but it serves the narrative" regarding fridging. It might, in fact, serve the narrative. But it exists in the wider context of a sexist society that likes to see women hurt. It exists in the wider context of a sexist trope that leads to seeing women as objects. It exists in the wider context of women deserving better.
From Deadpool 2 to Crimes of Grindelwald; to The Killing Joke; to Into the Spiderverse; to The Last of Us; to Bourne; to Game of Thrones. Fridging is insidious, pervasive, unavoidable. It is lazy writing in a sexist society. It's time we took our female characters just a little more seriously.
So dear writers, stop friggin fridging.

What The Cast Of 'The Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants' Looks Like Today
"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants," which is based on the novel of the same name by Ann Brashares, came out in 2005. It was followed by a sequel in 2008, and a third film is being developed (via IMDb). While there is not much known about this third installment, this does give fans a chance to review the cast and see what they all look like today.
First up is America Ferrera, who is 37 and who was 20 when she first played Carmen Lowell (via In That Movie). She went on to portray Betty Suarez in "Ugly Betty" between 2006 and 2010, Amy in "Superstore" from 2015 to 2021, and Astrid in the "How to Train Your Dragon" TV shows and films.
In her personal life, she married Ryan Piers Williams, an actor and writer, in 2011, and together, they have two children: Sebastian Piers Williams, a son born in 2018, and Lucia Marisol Williams, a daughter born in 2020 (via Instagram).
The movie focuses on four best friends who find a special pair of pants
Another main character from "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" books and movies is Tabitha Anastasia Tomko-Rollins, a.k.a. Tibby, and she is played by Amber Tamblyn. This actress has been seen in television shows such as "General Hospital," "Joan of Arcadia," and "House" and in films like "The Ring," "127 Hours," and "Django Unchained" (via IMDb).
In real life, Tamblyn is married to actor David Cross, known for his role in "Arrested Development." In 2017, they welcomed a daughter, Marlow Alice Cross, into the world, as reported by People.
According to In That Movie, this 37-year-old was 21 when she first started playing a teenager who found a magical pair of jeans with her best friends. It is common to see stars play younger or older characters at different times throughout their careers, and only one of these cast members was actually in her teens, as seen down below.
Only one of these stars was actually in her teens while playing a teen
Blake Lively had a small role as Trixie/Tooth Fairy in "Sandman" in 1998, but her first big role was playing Bridget Vreeland in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." Since then, she has gone on to appear in films like "Accepted," "The Age of Adaline," and "A Simple Favor," and, of course, she starred on "Gossip Girl" as Serena van der Woodsen from 2007 to 2012 (via IMDb).
As many know, Lively has been married to actor Ryan Reynolds since 2012, and the couple shares three daughters: James, who is six; Inez, who is four; and Betty, who is one, as reported by the Daily Mail.
As mentioned above, Lively was the only member of the cast to actually be a teen while playing a teen. Though she is now 33, she was 16 years old during the time of this film, according to a site called In That Movie.
All of these actresses have children (whether they wanted the world to know it or not)
Finally, when covering the cast of "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" then and now, there is Alexis Bledel, who is 39 years old and who was 22 when she first played Lena Kaligaris.
Like Lively, she also had a small role in 1998, when she was an uncredited student on "Rushmore." Then, in 2002, she was Winnie Foster in "Tuck Everlasting." She went on to appear in television series such as "Mad Men," "The Handmaid's Tale," and, of course, "Gilmore Girls," and she even reprised her role of Rory Gilmore in "Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life" in 2016 (via IMDb).
Bledel met Vincent Kartheiser on the set of "Mad Men," and the two tied the knot in 2014. They keep their personal lives very private, including the news of their growing family (via E! Online). They had a baby boy in the fall of 2015, and the news actually came out when Scott Patterson (a.k.a. Luke Danes) mentioned it to Glamour in May 2016!

text: Teachers' in-depth diagnostic thinking has been shown to be crucial for student-centered teaching as they need to perceive and interpret students' understanding for well-informed decision-making on adaptive teaching practices. The paper presents a content-related approach to analyzing diagnostic thinking processes with respect to the mathematical knowledge elements that prospective teachers identify as students' resources and obstacles. Prospective teachers' challenge is that some relevant knowledge elements first have to be unpacked, because compact concepts (such as the place value concept) or procedures (such as for multi-digit multiplication) comprise several smaller knowledge elements (such as the positional property) that have to be made explicit for students to foster their learning processes adequately. Our study examines what knowledge elements prospective teachers perceive and interpret in a transcript vignettes on multi-digit multiplication (of decimal and natural numbers) and its underlying basic arithmetic concepts (place value understanding and meaning of multiplication) in written diagnostic judgments on students' resources and obstacles (N = 196). A comparative design within the vignette is used to investigate how far the process of perceiving can be supported by thematic cues. The analysis reveals that those knowledge elements cued in the vignette by being already unpacked and explicitly addressed are perceived and interpreted more often (but with lower correctness) than those that are uncued and therefore have to be unpacked by the prospective teachers themselves. This confirms the need to prepare prospective teachers for unpacking mathematical concepts themselves.

The action in the wheat market may be poised to lead the grain markets higher after a potential upside breakout on Thursday. The wheat market has been strong this week, led by the KC wheat complex, which saw the July contract finish 53-3/4 cents higher on Thursday to $11.77 a bushel. The price move was fueled early in the week with a cut to the India wheat crop projections from 113 MMT to 105 MMT and the talk of India halting or limiting wheat exports. The strength on Thursday was fueled by the U.S. weather forecasts. Expected rainfall across the southern Plains was disappointing over the past couple days, as areas missed on needed rainfall totals. In addition, forecasts for next week are targeting the first heatwave of the season with temperatures pushing into the 90s to 100s across the southern Plains, adding more stress to a historically poorly rated wheat crop. This has triggered new money flow into the wheat market, as prices are trying to break out of the consolidation wedge pattern the market has been building since hitting highs in March. The key after today's price move will be follow-through buying, pushing prices higher. If this is truly a new price move for the wheat market, the entire grain complex will likely see some buying support.

CORN HIGHLIGHTS: Corn futures closed with modest gains of 2-1/4 to 3-1/2 cents. Sharply higher wheat prices and some talk China may be in the market now that a holiday period is over added underlying support. Jul corn gained 3-1/4 cents to end the session at 797-1/2 and Dec added 2-1/4 to close at 7.38-1/2. Depending on where you are in the Midwest, planting is about to pick up in a major way, or remain delayed. Cumulatively, progress will advance as temperatures increase and drier conditions in the East prevail in the days ahead.
Export sales were supportive at 30.8 mb old crop and 29 mb for new crop. Year-to-date sales are now at 2.295 bb or 91.8% of total expected sales of 2.5 bb. If less than ideal weather persists in Brazil, look for a potential increase in export sales in the very near term. Next week's Supply and Demand report could show an increase of expected sales as the world is looking for inventory to fill the void from Ukraine, and it will likely come from the U.S. The dominant weather for price direction will come in the form of weather. We just can't put ourselves into a category to argue that weather is a dominant factor affecting yield at this time. Yet, each day that passes weather will become more critical for the planting season, in particular for those who are very wet and are looking at more rain in the forecast.
SOYBEAN HIGHLIGHTS: Soybean futures firmed, closing modestly higher gaining 6-1/2 cents to close at 16.47 and Nov added 5-1/4 to end the day at 14.91-3/4. Traders were buying meal (after hitting 3-month low yesterday) and selling oil. Meal gained 1.70 in Jul, while Jul soybean oil gave up 58 points. Export sales at 27 mb put the total for the year at 2.143 bb or 1.3% above the total forecasted sales of 2.115 bb. The 18 mb increase above the total forecasted suggests the USDA will raise exports next week on the WASDE report and lower carryout.
Keeping prices in check is a surge in the U.S. dollar and expectation for more soybean acres as was reported on the March 31 acreage estimate. However, probably the biggest determinant of soybean acres is how well corn planting goes. With some very saturated soils, it is likely there could be some re-measurement of whether or not to plant corn in these areas if it stays wet through the end of next week. They may choose to shift to more soybeans. We don't believe, at least in conversation with producers, that there was much switch back to corn acres. Once farmers began conversations with vendors, they found fertilizer prices were either too high or there was no guarantee they could have delivery. Therefore, they likely stuck with their intent to increase soybean acreage.
WHEAT HIGHLIGHTS: Wheat futures again traded sharply higher on several supportive news items outlined below. Jul Chi gained 30 cents, closing at 11.06-1/2, and Dec up 26-1/4 cents at 11.08. Jul KC gained 53-3/4 cents, closing at 11.77, and Dec up 49-3/4 at 11.81.
The news that India may be restricting or banning wheat exports is still not confirmed, but the fact that the Indian government reduced its production estimate to 105 mmt is significant. Down from an expected 111.3 mmt (and with some private estimates below 100 mmt), India likely won't play a major export role. In addition, Pakistan and Bangladesh are said to have lower wheat crops as well and they could ultimately be importers. Aside from the India news, there was another item of note which likely contributed to higher prices today. Oklahoma's wheat crop is projected at just 57 mb (vs 115 mb last year) and yield at 23.5 bpa (vs 39 bpa last year). This information comes from the Oklahoma Grain and Feed Association. Aside from that, Texas may be in dire straits; their crop is rated only 8% good to excellent and 77% of the crop is rated poor to very poor. With triple-digit temperatures expected there in the coming days, the drought concerns are only on the rise. On a bearish note, export sales data was unspectacular. USDA reported an increase of 4.4 mb of wheat export sales for 21/22 and an increase of 1.6 mb for 22/23.
CATTLE HIGHLIGHTS: Cattle futures finished lower in some profit taking, as grain prices traded higher, led by a wheat price surge that triggered long liquidation in the cattle market. In addition, strong selling pressure in the equity markets likely spilled over and pressured cattle markets. Jun live cattle were 1.050 lower to 133.775, and Aug live cattle fell 1.050 to 136.025. May feeder lost 1.925 to 160.325.
Jun live cattle futures failed to push through the 200-day moving average. The path of least resistance seemed to work lower. The price action was soft today, as prices closed at the bottom end of the daily trading range, which likely leaves more downside trade for Friday. The steady tone in the cash market has helped limit gains in the cattle markets. Light cash trade began building on Thursday with $140 cash trade in the South, steady with last week, and North ranging around $146. Northern dress trade was at $232, again steady with last week. Trade was quiet on Thursday, and there may be a few wrap-up deals to end the week. Beef retail values at midday saw carcass values trade lower (Choice: -2.91 to 256.83, Select: -1.78 to 245.90) on movement of 114 loads. Choice/Select spread narrowed to 10.93 and could be reflecting a more current cattle supply. Weekly export sales reported new net sales of 14,600 MT for 2022 were up 28% from the previous week and 1% from the prior 4-week average. Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan were the top buyers of U.S. beef last week. The feeder market was also lower with triple-digit losses as the strong tone in grains triggered some selling pressure. Feeder price action was weak, and charts turned technically weaker, leaving the door open for additional long liquidation int Friday. The action of the grain markets will stay as a trigger for buying or selling in the feeder market. Cattle markets have had a good start to this week, but prices are pressured, giving back those gains. Cattle prices will be watching the grain market and money flow trying to push cattle prices lower. The market seems poised to go and retest recent lows, especially if the grain market can find strong buying support again.
LEAN HOG HIGHLIGHTS: Hog futures found another round of short covering, pushing hog prices higher with strong triple-digit gains for the second consecutive day. May hogs traded 0.200 higher to 102.800, and Jun gained 1.975 at 107.075.
Jun hogs got the key follow-through off Wednesday's strong gains, posting its first higher high of the week. The strong price action on the day leaves more upside room for prices to challenge back to the 100-day moving average and the 10-day moving average at the $109-110 levels. The cash market still looks to be an issue, limiting the front end of the market. The Lean Hog Cash Index lost 0.11 to 101.04, and back trading at a discount of 1.760 to the May and 6.035 to Jun contracts, limiting upside. In morning direct cash trade, prices were 2.66 lower to 101.58 and a 5-day average of 101.31. Retail carcasses were firmer at midday, gaining 4.28 to 108.11 on light demand of 135 loads. Carcass values, in general, have been choppy trending slightly lower on the week, so with strong midday trade, the afternoon close will be key for price direction on the Friday open. Weekly pork export sales report new net sales of 23,800 MT for 2022 were down 24% from the previous week and 13% from the prior 4-week average. Top buyers of U.S. pork last week were Mexico, South Korea, and Japan. The hogs may be putting in a season-low with the firming price action on Wednesday and the follow-through higher on Thursday may help confirm the move. The technical picture on deferred contracts looks more friendly, as the nearby months are still dealing with demand issues and a choppy cash market.
DAIRY HIGHLIGHTS: The Class III June contract fell from a contract high of $25.60, set on April 18th, to a daily low on Tuesday of $23.57, more than a $2.00 drop in 12 trading days. In the two days since, about half of that has been recovered. Fundamentally, some help likely came from another friendly export report for March and spot cheese prices have avoided a sell-off, closing 2.6250 cents higher today at $2.3650/lb. However, while the setback on milk prices was severe, the market was getting due for a retracement after a very sold first half of April. Other fundamentals continue to turn bearish with higher milk and dairy product production and a break in world prices. So far, the 2023 contracts have not been able to garner as much of a recovery as the nearby futures.

I want you to memorize a specific confession of faith today and say it from your heart often, starting today and for the rest of your life. That confession is this: "Because I breathe, I carry His call."
That's a powerful statement; a powerful confession of faith: "Because I breathe, I carry His call."
You need to understand that your existence is absolutely not happenstance. It's not a chance occurrence in the universe. God's Word says, "Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them" (Psalm 139:16).
No, your life was not an accident. Your life is not currently an accident, either. The Lord God planted you on this earth for such a time as this.
The enemy wants you to believe that your life is an accident, though. The enemy will try and lie to you, telling you:
- that you are a failure;
- that you will never survive;
- that you never should have been born, or that your parents didn't mean to have you.
That old accuser, the devil, then goes on with his extended lies by saying, "You'll never be good enough. You'll never amount to anything. You might as well settle for a passive mentality and accept a lifestyle that your flesh desires, but your spirit hates." But all of these things are lies, and only lies.
Here's what you need to know to dominate your domain today:
You are not fighting against flesh and blood right now—not even against your own flesh and blood in your own body. No; you are currently engaged in an ancient battle, wrestling against principalities and powers and spiritual wickedness in high places (Ephesians 6:12). You are right now engaged in the battle of good versus evil, and you will be in that battle all your life.
You were not created to accept what you are in the flesh and deny what you're called to be in the spirit. You were not meant to live with walls around you—walls that fence you in and limit your opportunities and possibilities.
God never intended you to accept your circumstances and call tribulation your friend. He did not engineer you to say or even think that your failures are part of your personality, part of "who you are."
Instead, God fashioned you with His hands and designed you specifically to fulfill His call on your life.
You are alive because God placed you on the earth for such a time as this. You are breathing right now because you have His call on your life. It's His oxygen that you are taking into your lungs; and because He allows you to breathe it—and indeed sustains and propels every cell of your body by the very word of His power—then you know that He has a plan for you.
You possess a calling from God that no one can ever negate or destroy—not even you.
God has good plans for you, and He wants you to carry them out today. He has divinely ordained you to carry them out. At the end of days, you will not stand before God and hear Him say, "I understood it was hard, so We excuse you from your call."
But you know what you will hear?
When you stand before God, He will ask you, "What did you do with the skills and gifts and talents I gave you? What did you do with the call that put on your life? What did you do to bring people with you to stand before Me in this moment?" We will all hear those very same questions from God—and we will all have to give an account.
Life is a vapor. It is a moment that comes and goes so quickly.
Young people often think, "I've got a long, long time. I've got plenty of time before I need to be in church and before I need to give my life to the Lord." And old people say, "I'm too old, and I already missed the best moments of my life. I might as well just passively let it go at this point."
But you know what? Our Creator doesn't excuse us from His call because of our excuses. Our Creator will still ask each and every one of us, "What did you do with what I gave you?" He will look for the blood of Jesus on your life, and He will look for the fruit that determines your reward.
Let me ask you this question: What would it look like if the church left the building?
We often say, "Elvis has left the building," and it means that the star of the show is no longer present with us. The show is over. Well, I'm here to tell you today that Elvis has left the building—he has left the church-house! The CHURCH has left the four walls of its building, and we're going out into the streets!
It is your God-given responsibility as part of Christ's Body to leave the building.
The church is not made up of four walls and a roof. Instead, the people breathing the breath of life are the church—and the church has to be able to say, "I left the building."
This has never been more important!
"To leave the building" means to accept the responsibility of God's call on your life. It means you are stepping out of the doors of the church-house, and even stepping out of the door of your home, and saying to the world:
- "I'm taking on the responsibility of my calling."
- "I'm going to do what God called me to do."
- "I am going to be a disciple of Christ."
- "I am going to prayerfully and willfully win somebody to Jesus."
- "I'm going to represent Jesus to my family and to my tribe."
- "I'm going to be a man of God."
- "I'm going to be a woman of God."
- "I'm going to be a child of God."
- "I'm going to be the person who pursues everything that God has placed on my life."
And the only way you will do that is to recognize that you're not a waste of time.
You have a purpose. You have a call on your life. As it says in Jeremiah 1:4-5, "Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: 'Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.'"
God assigned you a divine calling when He breathed the breath of life into your mother's womb and you became a living soul.
You are not an accident. Your life is not mere happenstance, and your call has not expired. Because you breathe—because you are alive on this earth and being upheld by the very word of God's power (Hebrews 1:3)—then you are still in the middle of those days written in His book before any of them existed (Psalm 139:16). It's time to fulfill your call.
Because you breathe, you carry His call. What will you do today to fulfill this call that God has placed on your life?

Potential role of tigecycline in the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia.
Journal Article (Journal Article)
Tigecycline is a member of the glycylcycline class of antimicrobials, which is structurally similar to the tetracycline class. It demonstrates potent in vitro activity against causative pathogens that are most frequently isolated in patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP), including (but not limited to) Streptococcus pneumoniae (both penicillin-sensitive and -resistant strains), Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis (including β-lactamase-producing strains), Klebsiella pneumoniae, and 'atypical organisms' (namely Chlamydophila pneumoniae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Legionella pneumophila). Comparative randomized clinical trials to date performed in hospitalized patients receiving tigecycline 100 mg intravenous (IV) × 1 and then 50 mg IV twice daily thereafter have demonstrated efficacy and safety comparable to the comparator agent. Major adverse effects were primarily gastrointestinal in nature. Tigecycline represents a parenteral monotherapy option in hospitalized patients with CABP (especially in patients unable to receive respiratory fluoroquinolones). However, alternate and/or additional therapies should be considered in patients with more severe forms of CABP in light of recent data of increased mortality in patients receiving tigecycline for other types of severe infection.

Apple TV Plus looks like it's ready to challenge the streaming elite for a place at the top table.
The company's streaming platform has amassed plenty of plaudits with its heart warming soccer-based series Ted Lasso, and it appears that Apple TV Plus is set to build on that success with its next big TV offering.
Foundation, Apple's live-action adaptation of Isaac Asimov's ground breaking sci-fi novels, has finally received a release date – and it's coming sooner than we thought.
- Here's everything you need to know about Foundation on Apple TV Plus
- Ted Lasso season 2: launch date, trailer, cast, plot and more
- Best Apple TV Plus shows
Foundation will arrive on Apple TV Plus on September 24, which is only three months away at this point. This was revealed alongside a new trailer for the project.
The latest video, which was uploaded to Apple TV Plus' social media channels on June 28, provides a better look at what Foundation's plot will entail.
The series, which looks like a sci-fi epic of Game of Thrones proportions, will star Jared Harris as Hari Seldon, a mathematician who tells the Galactic Empire's rulers that, unless humanity alters its path from its current trajectory, its galaxy-spanning empire will falter and be destroyed for 30,000 years.
Check out the new trailer below:
Analysis: Foundation will fill the Game of Thrones and Star Wars voids in your life
It may come as no surprise for you to learn that Asimov's Foundation novel series was hugely influential on some of pop culture's biggest phenomenons.
The author's books inspired the likes of Star Wars and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Judging by the latest footage, too, it certainly has a Game of Thrones vibe about it, what with the sheer amount of characters and politicking on display.
Apple, then, will be hoping that audiences tune in and make Foundation their next go-to TV series, as it searches for another crossover hit. It has the potential to be that, but it's worth bearing in mind that Foundation won't be released until the first wave of free Apple TV Plus subscriptions have expired.
According to CNET (opens in new tab), Apple repeatedly extended users' free trial subscriptions whenever they purchased a new Apple device. However, most of those subscriptions are due to end on July 1, which means you'll have to pay to watch Ted Lasso season 2 and Foundation when they arrive.
If you're in that category, you'll have to stump up a monthly fee – just like you do for Disney Plus, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video – if you want to watch Foundation. Currently, Apple TV Plus costs $4.99 per month, which isn't bad when you take the prices of its competitors into account.
You can check when your subscription expires by heading to the Settings app on your iPhone or Apple TV device. It seems, though, that most subscribers will have to pay for the privilege of watching Foundation when it eventually arrives.
Foundation season 1 will launch exclusively on Apple TV Plus on Friday, September 24.

WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden added a stop to his visit to Poland this week for urgent talks with NATO and European allies, as Russian forces concentrated their fires in cities and detained civilians in Ukraine's nearly month-long offensive.
Biden will travel to Brussels first and then to Poland to meet with leaders there, Press Secretary Jane Sackie said in a statement on Sunday night.
Poland is an important ally in the Ukraine crisis. It is hosting thousands of American troops and taking more people fleeing the war in Ukraine than any other country in the biggest European refugee crisis in decades – more than 2 million.
Biden will travel to Warsaw for a bilateral meeting with President Andrzej Dudar scheduled for Saturday. Biden will discuss how the United States, along with its allies and partners, is responding to the "humanitarian and human rights crisis created by Russia's unreasonable and unprovoked war on Ukraine."
Ahead of his visit on Monday, Biden will discuss the war with European leaders. French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Schulz, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson are expected to attend, the White House said on Sunday.
White House officials say Biden has no plans to travel to Ukraine. Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, while in Poland this month, briefly traveled to neighboring Ukraine to show solidarity with the country's foreign minister, Dimitro Kulebar. Poland is one of the most vocal countries in terms of considering the involvement of fellow NATO members in curbing bloodshed.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression in Ukraine has largely united the United States and NATO and European allies, as well as allies in Asia and elsewhere. The United States and European governments view Moscow's military aggression as a threat to their security and strategic interests.
Biden and NATO have repeatedly said that while the United States and NATO non-NATO members will provide arms and other defense assistance to Ukraine, they are determined to avoid any escalation by Kiev that could lead to a greater war with Russia.
The Pentagon on March 9 rejected a Polish proposal to supply MiG fighter jets to Ukraine through NATO air bases, saying allied efforts against Russian aggression should focus on more useful weapons and that migration of MiGs with US and NATO ties would "drive" a high risk of escalating war. "
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has called on the United States to provide its military with more aircraft and improved air-defense capabilities. NATO and the United States have rejected his request to establish a "no-fly zone" over Ukraine to suppress Russian air power, saying it would lead Western forces to a direct confrontation with Russia.
The resistance set by Ukrainian fighters when Russian tanks and troops entered Ukraine in late February quickly thwarted Russian forces' efforts to storm the Ukrainian capital and overthrow the western government. Denying an easy and early victory, the Russian military is returning to the burning ground tactics of its past attacks in Syria and Chechnya and hitting population centers with airstrikes and artillery barrages that enable civilians like the port city of Mariupol to exit safely. For food or water, to bury the dead, or to escape.
After Biden initially called on European allies to join a massive embargo against Russia for the attack, his tasks now include dealing with some NATO members who are pushing for more involvement in direct combat. This includes Poland's offer for peacekeepers.
Biden's visit includes a summit of NATO leaders on Thursday, who will now use the meeting to strengthen the bloc's own resistance and defense, both immediately and in the long run, to deal with the openly conflicting Putin.
NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told CBS's "Face the Nation" on Sunday that NATO's "purpose is to show our readiness to support Ukraine, but also to show our readiness to protect and defend all NATO allies."
"And by sending that message, we are preventing the escalation of the conflict into a full-blown war between NATO and Russia," Stoltenberg said.
NATO members on the alliance's eastern front-line are also calling for improved US and British air defense systems to protect Russia from the type of missile and air strikes it is launching on Ukraine.
"We need to strengthen the eastern part of NATO. We've been talking about this for years, but now it's time to act, "Estonian Prime Minister Kaza Kallas told CNN's" State of the Union. "
He added: "We need some more capabilities to support ourselves and to defend ourselves by the air defense system, which is of course necessary here, but the troops present there also act as a deterrent to the Russian military."
Noting that Russia is "firing missiles from so far that they can even reach Paris from where they are now firing," Calais said European leaders must "understand that this defense is our common problem, and that this is not a theoretical discussion, but a real one." Problems. "
Biden will also attend a summit of the European Council to discuss allied sanctions on Russia and humanitarian efforts for the millions of Ukrainians displaced by Russia's invasion, Saki said last week.
Saki said his agenda included a meeting of leaders of the Group of Seven countries to discuss the punitive financial and economic sanctions imposed by the West and its allies for Russia's invasion.
