 you come into my flippin house and grab my legs and i will give you a BAD BITE too you idiot!
why: why the hell is he sreaming so much he work for national geographic god damnit,he should know that giant python arent poisonus.
Python Attacks National Geographic Host: LOL!! As far as I'm concerned, I'm ion the snake's corner. This guy works for National Geographic?! They Really should consider letting him go - demanding that his partner not let go of the snakes tail, made him feel endangered and was trying to defend himself - This is Not professionalism, nor should the public be exposed to this idiot's theatrics about his 'Really Bad Bite!' - Good on the snake!!
snake: Got a taste of him and took off. yuk! get that taste of human out of my mouth. Don't know where he's been.
He kept asking where the head was: he was afraid it was going to bite his dong and balls
this guy is a drama queen turd: it's a python for christ's sake, it's not venomous, what a big drama queen p*ssy...get off my tv screen bitch!
lol funnyest thing all nite.,,what a dipshiet. heres an idea.,,let the fukn snake go.,,durh.
I am sure he knows it isn't poisonous. But that still doesn't change the fact that he just got about 250 needles jammed into his leg and a few were likely left behind after the snake let go. He should just thank God the damn thing let him go.
No! i dont think it was a bad bite,,he would hav said it was a bad bite ,,if it was a bad bite.,, im sure it was a good bite and not a bad bite.,, what a emo.,,
im always on the animals side when it comes to humans,, dont fuk with mother nature she will snuff u out lik the piss ante your are.

Mushrooms, Porcini
Porcini "Extra AA" Dried Mushrooms, Whole and Powdered
A small, high-quality variety of porcini, these mushrooms actually produce their best flavor when dried and distilled. The liquid used to rehydrate them has the strongest mushroom essence; a dark, rich, woodsy flavor that makes a fantastic base for soups, stocks, and sauces. The rehydrated mushrooms can be chopped and made into French mushroom paste or used in any dish calling for chopped mushrooms.
1 ounce of dried mushrooms is over a cup by volume.
We also carry powdered porcini mushrooms (Boletus edulis). This fine, flour-like powder is the perfect way to add a delicious mushroom flavor to any dish, without changing the texture. Great for sauces, soups, and risottos.

Focused Wright rejects IPL offer
Source -
All-rounder Luke Wright has joined the ranks of England internationals who have turned down a move to the lucrative Indian Premier League.
The Sussex star is a regular member of England's one-day squad, although he is still awaiting a Test call-up.
"At the moment my main focus and priority is playing for my country," the 23-year-old explained.
Fellow all-rounder Ravi Bopara and pace bowler Sajid Mahmood have also turned down the chance to play in the IPL.
The only England player signed up for the IPL is Hampshire skipper Dimitri Mascarenhas, although he is yet to appear in the competition.
Wright was first called up by England last summer, and has played in five one-day internationals and seven Twenty20 internationals.
Like Mascarenhas, he is not centrally contracted by the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB), so he would only have needed the permission of his county to play.
He and Bopara will now line up for the England Lions side against the New Zealand tourists in a four-day match which begins at Southampton on Thursday.
Wright added: "Obviously I was very pleased to be considered for the IPL.
"If the timings were different and it wasn't going to affect my chances of playing for England then it would be something I would seriously have to consider.
"I am now very much looking forward to the match against New Zealand which is obviously a great chance for me to prove myself in the longer version of the game and hopefully push for a Test place."
Bopara has played in 21 ODIs but was dropped from the Test team after the three-match series in Sri Lanka during the winter - while Mahmood has not been picked for England since their unsuccessful World Cup campaign in the spring of 2007.

DALLAS — One reason Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban has a sour attitude toward guard Derek Fisher is because he thought the two were forming a pretty good relationship.
Cuban said that before any NBA team signed Fisher this season, the five-time NBA champion was working his cellphone hard."In particular because when he hadn't been picked up, he called me multiple times asking for advice," Cuban said before Sunday's game against the Oklahoma City Thunder. "So it wasn't like we just signed him or called up his agent and said, 'Would you like to come play for the Mavs? Are you interested?' He was pitching me and calling me and asking me for advice and emailing me a lot. It's that kind of attitude, because I really tried to help him out, and then to have him pull this stuff."The "stuff" Cuban was referring to was a relationship with Fisher that didn't end well.The Mavs signed Fisher to a free-agent contract on Nov. 29, and then his request for a release was granted on Dec. 22 when he said he missed his family a few days after he sustained a knee injury.But 65 days later, Fisher signed a contract with the Thunder, the team with which he finished last season. The Mavs felt Fisher was just chasing another title and concocted a story to leave town because he didn't think the Mavs were going to win this season's championship."I respect Mark. I respect what he's done here with this organization and this team," Fisher said. "My decision had absolutely nothing to do with the team, him, the abilities of the team."It was a personal decision at the time, and after having a chance to step away for a couple of months to reflect on some things and really think about the totality of my career and how I felt like I wanted it to end, I didn't want the last time I walked off the court to be after a knee injury and just sitting at home."Cuban said he didn't feel like Fisher used him to advance his career."My personality is to try and help somebody, particularly somebody that I thought one thing about, even if it didn't turn out to be that way," Cuban said. "And so I was just trying to be nice and help. But usually when you help somebody, you expect some semblance of loyalty back. When you don't get it, then it's more disappointing."Fisher isn't sure if he's surprised by all the backlash he received from the Dallas-Fort Worth area after he signed with OKC on Feb. 25."I guess I don't have a strong opinion about other people's opinions other than to understand that everyone's entitled to their opinion and what they think," Fisher said. "I know where I stand; I've stated that. I've been consistent and honest in that regard. I'm just trying to focus on the here and now and still understand that people are going to have opinions about it."And Cuban's opinion?"I shouldn't have been surprised what happened, but I took a liking to him; I tried to offer him some help," he said. "I thought I offered him some positive encouragement and advice, and then we signed him. So I expected a different turnout than what happened, and so that's the way it goes. I have my big boy pants on, and that's the NBA."Fisher said that once he cleared his mind after leaving the Mavs, there was no way he was going to pass up a chance to return to the Thunder."I felt like this opportunity presented itself, and I wanted to take it," Fisher said. "I felt like it was a great opportunity."Beaubois out indefinitelyGuard Rodrigue Beaubois is out indefinitely after fracturing the second metacarpal on his left hand during the first half of Sunday's game against Oklahoma City.Dwain Price, 817-390-7760 Twitter: @DwainPrice

Add event category background colors to The Events Calendar events.
Have just installed a whole suite of Events Calendar tools and the only thing that it doesn't do is colour the filtering categories - and this plugin does exactly that. Couldn't have been any easier! Thanks so much for building this tool.
Really simple interface for color-coding calendar categories. The "Legend Superpowers" allow you to click on a category and all events not in that category are grayed out. It's terrific for helping visitors find what they're looking for in busy calendars. Documentation is good, and the developer is super-responsive.
A great addition to Events Calendar that greatly helps with more organized presentation. I really like how categories can be turned on and off - very nice!
I wish a similar thing would be available for event tags.
Only thing missing from my calendar was color and you did it - THANKS!
For anyone wishing to easily colorize their calendar events by Tri.be, this is the ticket. Easy to setup.

Dear maintainer of tango and Debian translators, Some days ago, I sent a notice to the maintainer of the tango Debian package, mentioning the status of at least one old po-debconf translation update in the BTS. I announced the intent to build and possibly upload a non-maintainer upload for this package in order to fix this long-time pending localization bug as well as all other pending translations. The package maintainer agreed for the NMU or did not respond in four days, so I will proceed with the NMU. The full planned schedule is available at the end of this mail. The package is currently translated to: cs da de es fr ja pt ru sv Among these, the following translations are incomplete: <none> If you did any of the, currently incomplete, translations you will get ANOTHER mail with the translation to update. Other translators also have the opportunity to create new translations for this package. Once completed, please send them as a bug report against the tango package so I can incorporate them in the build. The deadline for receiving updates and new translations is Friday, February 24, 2012. If you are not in time you can always send your translation to the BTS. The POT file is attached to this mail. If the maintainer objects to this process I will immediately abort my NMU and send him/her all updates I receive. Otherwise the following will happen (or already has): Saturday, February 11, 2012 : send the first intent to NMU notice to the package maintainer. Thursday, February 16, 2012 : send this notice Friday, February 24, 2012 : (midnight) deadline for receiving translation updates Saturday, February 25, 2012 : build the package and upload it to DELAYED/7-day send the NMU patch to the BTS Saturday, March 03, 2012 : NMU uploaded to incoming Thanks for your efforts and time. -- --

and exports
are a reasonable way of expressing module dependencies and interfaces, and the tools for managing modular code are getting better all the time.
Much less of a consensus has developed around the best way to deliver CommonJS modules to a web browser, where the synchronous semantics of require
pose a non-trivial implementation challenge. This module loader contributes to that confusion, yet also demonstrates that an amply-featured module loader need not stretch into the hundreds or thousands of lines.
From NPM:
npm install install
From GitHub:
cd path/to/node_modules
git clone git://github.com/benjamn/install.git
cd install
npm install .
When evaluated, the contents of install.js create a global function called install
. This function is the only external interface to the module loader, and it can be called in two ways.
The first way is to pass a module identifier string followed by a module factory function:
install("some/module/id", function(require, exports, module) {
// CommonJS module code goes here.
// For example:
exports.setImmediate = function(callback) {
return setTimeout(callback, 0);
This makes the module available for requirement, but does not evaluate the contents of the module until the first time another module calls require("some/module/id")
The second way to invoke install
is to omit the module identifier and pass an anonymous module factory function:
install(function(require) {
// Code that uses require goes here.
// For example:
require("some/module/id").setImmediate(function() {
console.log("setImmediate fired");
Anonymous modules are executed in order of installation, as soon as their requirements have been installed. Note that such modules do not have exports objects, because anonymous modules cannot be required.
If a named module has no requirements and does not need its own scope, the following shorthand can be used to install the module:
install("simple/module", { exports: {
one: 1,
two: 2,
buckle: "my shoe"

That was very interesting. What a complex vehicle. It was strange to have no 'up' or down', but she mentioned right and left. I wonder why long haired astronauts do not have to wear hair nets or use hair gel to prevent hair from sticking out all over the place. The exercise equipment looked like a highly engineered piece - probably super expensive. Overall the space station looked kind or roomy except for the sleeping accommodations. But even that space was highly though out for the sake of utility. I cannot imagine sleeping with no 'down' and just floating around. I wonder if you get the need to turn over, since there probably is no 'over.' All directions are the same. So you do not "lay down" to sleep.

Pours a liquid cream corn with a big rollicking winter seas white foam.
Smells of big buttery biscuits, hay, and lemongrass.
Tastes like the Yeaster Bunny ran roughshod on the Banana Hammock District (down on third). Soapy biscuits and light lemon seals the deal.

64oz growler into a Westvleteren Chalice. Reviewed from notes.
Pours .5 finger foamy white head with poor retention. Beer is semi-clear goldenrod. Lacing is spotty and sparse. Oily and thin legs. Average.
Nose is clove, Belgian yeast, candied sugar and tropical fruit. Moderately aromatic. Decent.
Opens sweet and sweet throughout. Notes of clove, coriander and other spices, cane sugar, Belgian yeast, citrus and pineapple sweetness and just a hint of lemon. Sweet and yeasty finish with a touch of yeasty bitterness in the aftertaste. Enjoyable.
Light to medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Smooth in the mouth with some bubbles and goes down quenching. Clean finish with a slightly lingering aftertaste. Real drinkable for a 7% beer.
A decent beer all the way around. That this is a flagship for DC Brau says a lot about the brewery. Worth trying and a real sessionable beer despite the rather high abv.

A rather approachable and easy take on a Belgian Golden Ale.
Presentation: Growler from DC Brau's NE headquarters. Small dry board with general growler offering notes. Served in a tulip glass.
A - Hazy pale amber pour, nice frothy head with fair retention, nice surface memory and some touches of lacing.
S - Soft yeasty nose, caramel, and a touch of fruity spice...
T - Nice yeasty flow, floral and caramel sweetness follows… faint spicy hint, remote punctuation of bubble gum… Maybe it is me, but as I go through a second serving I can see a parallel in the structure of this and their el Heffe, in particular around the malty sweet sense… Pleasing in any case.
M - Medium body soft carbonation with a nice smooth feel.
O - Maybe not as crisp or astringent for some as this should be but it is rather pleasing and quaffable.
Notes: Nothing that remarkable, true. But it has a pretty nice flow and feels like quality. While not something I would eagerly repeat on my own often I´d love to show up socially with a growler of this now and then. I´d say it might be rather engaging for the early curious about craft brews, other styles, without offering a pushy beer.

3.45/5 rDev -2.8%
look: 2.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
Poured from DC Brau growler (acquired same day) into a standard pint glass.
A - Pours a slightly murky golden color. Minimal head retention and no lacing.
S - Yeast is the predominant smell. Smells slightly sweet and bready as well. Not very strong, but pleasant enough.
T - Yeast is the predominant flavor; it has that stereotypical "Belgian" taste to it. There's mild hops and spice flavors (cloves perhaps?) present as well.
F - Full bodied with a nice level of carbonation. Pleasant aftertaste as well.
Overall, The Citizen is an enjoyable beer despite its mediocre appearance. It's quite drinkable for its ABV (it tastes more like a 5% beer) and works well for the hybrid it is. I would have it again.

The appearance is a cloudy orange to amber color, with moderate head. Yeast and clove aromas, which carry over to the palate with a mild hop profile. There was limited carbonation combined with a light mouthfeel that created a watery sensation. Pleasant enough to drink but not something I would seek out.

Got this as a growler fill on a visit to the brewery. For the tasting I poured it into a tulip shaped glass.
It's not real impressive in appearance. The color is a dull yellowy gold and its quite murky looking. There was about 1 finger of head when I poured it into the glass but it did not last long. There's no lacing as the beer disappears from the glass.
Its got some lemony citrus, banana, peppery spiciness, and yeast in the nose. The taste is made up of grains, spiciness, and booze with some faint fruit.
Overall its pretty mediocre. I'm kind of surprised because I had this on tap at the Argonaut in DC a few weeks back and quite liked it but this batch doesn't seem to be as good.

I went to the brewery this past weekend and got a sample of The Citizen. I actually liked this a bit more than the rest of the guys I was with.
Poured a hazy and cloudy golden yellowish color with little lacing.
The smell did not really remind me of the typical Belgian yeast. It was more like buttered biscuits mixed with a fruity sweetness enjoyed this as there seem to be a bit of a hop presence in the smell also.
The sugary and sour qualities stood out in this, especially in the finish. A bit of banana and clove and pale malt. Actually it sort of reminded me of a wheat beer.
Slight tart as when the beer started to warm, the fruit came out. Creamy mouthfeel.

Appearance: Pours a clear goldenstraw with a marshmallow foam head that leaves a few dots behind
Smell: Somewhat phenolic, with band-aids, bread, peppercorn and spice
Taste: Bread and band-aids, with a growing green peppercorn character; there is a build-up of sugary malt in the middle, along with the arrival of bittering hops, but the overall impact is unbalanced
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: I have been impressed with DC's IPAs but this one is a miss
Thanks, Dave_Treat, for the opportunity

Yay craft beer cans. Thanks to kasubot (Reddit) for this one. No date though. Kasubot told me it was canned 12/28/13, and could be a bad batch, so I'll have to come back to this one if possible.
Pours a mild bubbly slight fizzy head that hits almost 1 finger and fades fairly quickly, no lacing though, very hazy carrot orange reddish colored beer.
Nose brings grainy toasty malts, a bit of a toasty wheat like, mild grassy straw like malts, mild citrusy aroma with a little juicy fruit, hint of a pick grapefruit spritz and bitter rind, bit of a candy like malt, mild ester profile with the fruity aromas, bit cracker, bit of hint of eucalyptus like oil.
Taste starts with more cracker malts, a little grainy toasty wheat like, mild sweet caramel and candy like malt, little creamy and bit of a grassy straw character. Then esters, lots of esters, bit fruity, that mild eucalyptus like oil again. A mild bitterness from mild hops, touch minty grassy hop with a little earthy herbal character, nothing too crazy. Finish is dry but sticky, hint of booze warmth, little oily feel, mild earthy herbal like hops, candy malts lingering.
Mouth is med bod, lighter carb, little syrupy.
Overall Meh, syrupy candy malts, hops are not great, ester profile swings too far, just all around not so good.

Ick. Oh no they didn't.
Pours an odd amber hue that is mildly fogged. Soapy nose. Really soapy flavor profile. Candy sweetness which is just not pleasant. I don't like this beer. I don't like it at all.
Too bad I have to end my DC Brau sampling on this one. I'd rather have passed.

Pours a very hazy, dark golden orange with banana yellow edges and a half finger, frothy white head that slowly settles into a thin, lasting ring. Decent retention with sporadic spotty lacing left behind.
Floral, slightly earthy aroma with subtle grassy hops, bready yeast, pale malt and faint light fruit notes. Pretty bland with some piney hops, bread, biscuit, peppery spice, apple and pear.
On the fuller end of medium body with tight carbonation, earthy hops and a prominent peppery spice presence that lingers over the bready yeast, pale malt and light fruit notes into a dry finish. Thankfully this beer tastes more interesting than it smells but the yeast presence is a bit too strong for my preference and it feels more like a wheat/witbier than anything else. Some zesty coriander and grassy, piney hops followed by sourdough bread, bubblegum and lemon zest. Slightly tart and somewhat refreshing but a bit watered down and pedestrian. As it warms, the ester-y light fruit notes start to show with hints of apple, pear and raisin. Still, this beer isn't very complex or interesting. Not bad by any means, but it just doesn't stand out. I'm glad that I only bought a single can.

A- Orange body with some amber highlights. A slight haze to the body that prevents crystal-clear transparency, but enough for light to come through. Head is thin and frothy, with a cream color to it.
S- Banana, clove, herbal hops, toast, bready malt.
T- Taste has a pretty diverse mix of flavors to it. The yeast comes in first with some peppery notes, the big toasted malt bill provides lots of breadiness, with banana flavors sneaking in towards the end. Slight mix of herbal hops in the, with a hint of citrus as well.
M- Crisp, medium-full bodied, sticky lingering aftertaste. Finishes dry.
O- The yeast and the malt dominate this one. It's very different than almost all of the BPAs I have had, but not necessarily in a bad way. It's just different. I probably would not get it again, but I didn't hate it.

12oz can poured into a DC Brau Can Glass.
The beer pours a golden corn color, very hazy with lots of bubbles rising to the top of the glass. Atop the beer rests a lovely, soapy, white head, about 2 fingers high that has fantastic retention and leaves some spotted lacing behind. The aroma is heavy on banana, more banana, and some more after that. Yeasty clove and spicey hop are noticeable with lots of pale grain sweetness. The amount of banana is a bit off putting and really masks the rest of the aromas. The flavors aren't much different, lots of banana, clove, belgian yeast, a bit of an unpleasant saltiness, alcohol, pale grain, earthy hop spice, sugary sweetness at the finish. The nose was a mess and the flavors are just as messy and poorly put together. The body is thin, a bit watery, lacking lively carbonation, coats the mouth moderately well and has a soft, creamy finish.
Verdict: A pretty poor attempt at a Belgian Pale Ale from DC Brau. It has bad balance, lots of unpleasantries, and has few redeeming qualities. While I enjoy their hoppy beers, I might be staying away from their Belgian beers until further notice.

Sampled from a can purchased at Chevy Chase Beer & Wine.
Light golden with a hazy finish and a mass exodus of large bubbles that never really create a sustainable head. Aroma is lemon, black pepper and fruits. Flavor is big on fruity esters with some spicy notes and a moderate sweetness. A moderate consistency but a low carbonation after that initial rush out the door.
This is a tough style to do well; especially given the availability of so many Belgian masters. Drinkable and refreshing but this one needs more work.

Poured a cloudy yellowish gold with two finger head that stuck around a while and left a lace ring. A rather airy, nondescript aroma but I do pick up some spice and grain and touches of bready malt and citric. The yeastiness in this beer helps make it smooth and easy to drink without becoming watery, but I found that the sweet malts are minimal at best (don't expect alot of candi sugar or tropical fruit sweetness or caramel) and that the hops and fruit flavors mostly give off a slightly bitter or acidic crisp bite and offer up some decent citric notes but not too much else. Decent balance so it's not overly sharp or acidic but just one of those beers that seems "watered" down for more mainstream consumption and it was alright but not worth having again.

Pours a hazy orange with bright white head. Strong smell of alcohol and flowers but a nice creamy almost buttery taste.
Not a game changing by any means and as someone said - the lack of bottle conditioning really harms the impact of this beer but don't let that turn you away. It's a great session beer that's perfect for a hot day or a bbq.

12 oz can into a pint glass.
A: Pours a hazy amber color with some notable yeast sediment falling to the bottom of the glass. The white-colored head forms a uniform height of one finger, and fades pretty rapidly to a thin film. Lacing is very sparse.
S: Rather buttery and even a bit corn-like. Maybe I can find a touch of fruity esters with proper concentration, but the Belgian yeast qualities are just too hard to find. There seems to be a bit of hoppiness, though, which is good. Quite the disappointing aroma otherwise.
T: Good news is, there is a touch of Belgian yeast on the finish, giving it a (much needed) crisp touch, and some welcome notes of apple, white grape, and pear - but also gives a faint soapiness. Yikes. All told, this seems rather disjointed, as if the yeast and the bready malts are battling each other, rather then melding like a good BPA should.
M: This is the best part of the brew. It features a creamy texture, and is nicely clean/dry on the back end without over-exposing any of the less-than-great flavors. In spite of its slight syrupiness and medium-heavy body, it's pretty drinkable.
O: Not great, unfortunately. There's little here to make me want to come back for seconds. All this does is confirm my skepticism toward canned Belgian-style ales - without bottle conditioning, what do you have? Not much, really.

Poured from can into tulip. Purchased at total wine in Richmond, va for $1.99.
Pours a slightly hazy golden with 1 finger of head. Aromas of Belgian yeast ever so slightly with macro notes...corn I guess. Taste is simple Belgian yeast that has been dumbed down...its so subtle. Meh, its ok, easy to drink and normal...meh. There is nothing amazing about this brew, its just a super sessionable BPA.

Nice hazy honey colored ale with a solid sheet of fine whites atop. Smells like grain, sweet grain, pears, flowers, some grass and a little biscuit. Smells fresh, I dig that. Flavor is sweet initially with a good floral character with some juicy fruit, some grain and dough. Like the flavor too. A little fuller bodied than I'd dig, but with the softened carbonation, it has a nice feel overall and an unobtrusive finish. Nice beer, surprised and satisfied.

Thanks Fred for this one!
Brassy gold coloration, bright clarity, plenty of light passing through and illuminating the trails of rising carbonation. A finger or so of head initially, which fades to a patchy skim halfway through. Some minor broken lacing left behind at the rim of the glass.
Aroma is yeast driven, estery pear/banana and spicy white pepper. Similar flavors, some banana and pear sweetness, dry spice in the middle that lingers long into the aftertaste with some light residual bitterness. Creamy feel with ample carbonation, medium bodied and smooth. Overall a nice BPA, pretty flavorful and drinkable.

March CBOT corn futures edged slightly higher Monday, supported by strong export inspections seen in Monday's USDA report. Inspections of exportable U.S. corn in the week through Nov. 14 totaled 30.240 million bushels, which beat analysts' expectations. Also, commitments from overseas importers to purchase U.S. corn since Sept. 1 have more than doubled compared with the same period last year, according to the government.
On the daily chart, for now, the recent gains should be considered merely corrective to the primary downtrend. March corn has been mired in a long-term bear market and is in the midst of a little "backing and filling" after last week's push to a new contract low at $4.20.
The market is approaching 20-day moving average resistance at $4.34 3/4 on Monday. That will be a key ceiling to monitor near term. Since early September, the 20-day moving average has largely capped all counter-trend rally moves.
If March corn bulls muster enough strength to crack the 20-day moving average, it would open the door for additional counter-trend corrective rally move back toward the Nov. 12 high and resistance at $4.49 1/2. Daily momentum is rising from oversold levels, which could keep a firm tone to trade near term.
On the downside, major support lies at $4.20. Minor support lies at $4.27 and then $4.23 1/2.
$6.70 -- the contract high $4.31 1/4 -- the 10-day moving average $4.34 3/4 -- the 20-day moving average $4.43 3/4 -- the 40-day moving average $4.20 1/2 -- the contract low
MARCH CBOT WHEAT, combined pit and electronic trading
March CBOT wheat climbed to a slightly higher settlement on Monday, but overall action remained quiet and within recent ranges. Wheat gained amid signs of strong demand. Wheat exports from June 1 through Nov. 14 totaled 16.7 million metric tons, a 45% increase from the same period a year earlier, according to the USDA.
Technically, March wheat has entered a short-term consolidative and corrective phase, following the massive sell-off seen since late October. Daily momentum is rising from oversold levels and the market is mostly correcting via "time" and sideways action as opposed to upward movement. Rallies have been difficult to sustain and initial resistance at the $6.63 zone continues to cap upside probing. That is the key level to watch near term. If gains are seen through $6.63 it would suggest a more substantial counter-trend rally move was unfolding.
The longer term trend remains solidly bearish. But, the market has retreated to just above a zone of major multi-month congestive support and the contract low at $6.47 3/4, hit on Sept. 12. There is a strong zone of support from $6.52-6.47, which could be tough to crack near term.
$9.12 1/4 -- the contract high $6.55 3/4 -- the 10-day moving average $6.64 -- the 20-day moving average $6.82 1/4 -- the 40-day moving average $6.47 3/4 -- the contract low

Game - Better On The Other Side
Artist: Game
Featuring: Chris Brown , Diddy , Polow Da Don , Usher
Producer: DJ Khalil
Album: Michael Jackson Tribute
Avg Rating: 4.8 ( 112 total votes )
In the three short days since news of Michael Jackson's untimely passing shocked fans across the globe, just about everything that could be said about the icon's life, career and legacy has been said; to make a long story short, the man influenced everyone, from all the kids who attempted (quite unsuccessfully, in my case) to moonwalk in their parents' basements to every pop musician who hit the scene after him. The Game, of course, is no exception, and on newly-released tribute record Better On The Other Side (premiered by DJ Skee on Friday morning), the L.A.X. emcee joins forces with a few of the biggest names in urban music to explain just how much MJ meant to him. R&B singer Chris Brown, Bad Boy mogul Diddy, and high-profile producer Polow Da Don each step up to the mic to pay homage to the legend over DJ Khalil's somber piano chords, and sampled contributions from Mario Winans, Usher, and Boyz II Men serve as further reminders of the singer's far-reaching impact. It's sincere, touching, and liable to leave MJ devotees a little teary-eyed—if you're having trouble shaking off those blues, may I recommend this?

Sean Fitzpatrick
Article Free PassSean Fitzpatrick, (born June 4, 1963, Auckland, N.Z.), New Zealand rugby union football player who was a powerful and mobile hooker who came to be regarded by many as the all-time greatest at his position. At the time of his retirement in 1997, Fitzpatrick had appeared in more Test (international) matches than any other forward in the world and more than any other member of the All Blacks (nickname of the New Zealand national team), having played 92 Test matches. He also played in a record 63 consecutive Test matches (1983–95).
Fitzpatrick was born into a rugby family; his father, Brian Fitzpatrick, played 22 times for the All Blacks between 1951 and 1954. The younger Fitzpatrick made his test debut in 1986 and was a member of the New Zealand side that won the inaugural Rugby Union World Cup in 1987. In 1992 he became captain of the All Blacks, and in 1993 he led the team to a series win over the British Lions (now the British and Irish Lions). New Zealand suffered a heartbreaking loss to South Africa in the championship match of the 1995 World Cup. In 1996 New Zealand's fortunes changed as Fitzpatrick led the team to its first-ever series win in South Africa. Earlier that year the All Blacks had also won the inaugural Tri-Nations tournament over South Africa and Australia. Noted for his vigorous play and gamesmanship, Fitzpatrick had an uncanny ability to get away with tough play while goading opposing players into committing infractions.
In 2001 Fitzpatrick was made manager of the Auckland Blues Super 12 franchise, and he guided his former club team through the 2002 and 2003 seasons. He was inducted into the International Rugby Hall of Fame (2001) and the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame (2003).

Violet Ripken kidnapping; New video of suspect released
ABERDEEN, Md. (AP) - Aberdeen police have released a video of a suspect in the kidnapping of Cal Ripken Jr.'s mother.
Police say the video released Tuesday was taken at a retail outlet in Anne Arundel County. The video shows a man in an orange cap and a light-colored coat entering and exiting the store.
Vi Ripken, the 74-year-old mother of the Hall of Fame infielder, told police she was abducted at gunpoint from her house last week, blindfolded and driven around. She was found bound but unharmed in her car last Wednesday.
Police say they don't have a motive and exploring several theories for the abduction. They say they're still investigating it as a "forced abduction not related to any medical or health conditions."
Ripken was abducted on the morning of July 24 and was found unharmed about 24 hours later. She was found about 30 miles from her Aberdeen home.

France is looking to revamp how it handles sexual assault cases, and is taking cues from a program that started in the Bronx nearly a decade ago. NY1's Erin Billups filed the following report.
Since the 2011 sexual assault scandal surrounding former International Monetary Fund Chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn sexism and sexual violence has been a hot button issue in France. Now, French Women's Rights Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem says she's working to change the culture.
"You have every day in France 250 rapes everyday. That's a lot," says Vallaud-Belkacem.
The city's Sexual Assault Response Team program or SART, pioneered by North Central Bronx Hospital, caught her eye and she came in person to check it out and toured the facility.
"This program is exactly what I want," says Vallaud-Belkacem.
Once it's discovered a patient was a victim of sexual violence within the last 96 hours an on-call sexual assault forensic examiner and rape crisis advocate are called to the hospital, within the hour. Patients are given a medical examination and evidence is collected.
"If the victim would like to have the kit released she can release it and file a report," explains SART Medical Director Dr. Brigitte Alexander.
The trained patient advocate walks the victim through the process of filing charges or simply keeps her or him company.
"I remind them that they are human, that they're not to blame, that they deserve medical treatment, that they deserve attention from the police," says Chiseche Mibenge, a SART rape crisis advocate.
The program's success is also due to policy changes like a standard procedure for processing rape kits, sensitivity training for police officers and enhanced ambulance protocol.
"Now you have somebody who calls 911, they don't just go to whichever hospital is closest they'll go to a specialized hospital like a SART hospital," says Dr. Alexander.
Vallaud-Bellkacem took special interest in SART's handling of victims in the long term.
"We provide follow up. We don't want them to get lost," says NCBH SART Program Coordinator Elaine Garbity.
"There are psychological consequences, big trauma that last all their life," says Vallaud-Belkacem.
It's not only France that has shown interest in this sexual assault program. Teams from Jordan and Japan have also come to learn and adopt the methods created in the Bronx.
"Sexual violence is an international crime, it happens everywhere," says Garbity.
"Hopefully they'll take something back and replicate it," adds Dr. Alexander.
All 11 city-run hospitals have the SART program. There are similar state recognized programs throughout New York.

There's a wave of FRESH, GRASSROOTS candidates that are challenging the incumbent status quo politicians that have run Texas fiscally aground. Texans are now over $35 billion in debt for roads. According to federal stats, Texas is #1 in the nation in road debt! Most of it has been to subsidize toll roads with tax dollars while charging us AGAIN to use the road -- a DOUBLE TAX! The debt is unsustainable and irresponsible. There are not enough Texans who can afford to pay this extra tax on driving just to get to work. We need to reverse course & FAST!TEXAS SENATE DIST. 25
DONNA CAMPBELL is the ONLY ANTI-TOLL candidate in the race!
Incumbent Jeff Wentworth wants to raise your road taxes. He voted for every piece of toll road legislation in Austin, including the Trans Texas Corridor. He also voted for controversial public private partnership toll roads which also hand our Texas sovereign public roads over to private, foreign corporations that will charge Texans $.75 cents PER MILE in tolls -- with guaranteed profits and monopolistic non-compete clauses (SB 792 & SB 1492).
He also voted to allow property tax hikes to be used to subsidize toll projects (SB 563). He authored a bill that would have taxed everything that moves in SB 942 - a charge-by-mile toll, congestion tolls, plus a gas tax & vehicle registration hike, including a commuter tax on residents who commute into Bexar County!
Here's just a sampling of the toll road legislation he's supported: HB 3588 (2003), HB 2702 (2005), SB 792 (2007), SB 942 (2009), SB 1420 (2011) & HB 563 (2011).
Wentworth has repeatedy voted to toll 281 & 1604 at the San Antonio-Bexar County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO). Most recently on June 25, he voted to use our ROAD TAXES (Texas Mobility Funds) to convert an existing FREE main lane of Hwy 281 into a toll-bus/HOV lane -- so even though it's 100% paid for, Wentworth wants you to pay a toll, too. It's a DOUBLE TAX MONEY GRAB!
In the Sunday, October 25, 2009 edition of the Express-News (the day prior to the final vote), Wentworth bragged that he was one of the few elected officials on the MPO that would have the 'spine' to stand up and vote AGAINST his constituents on toll roads.
On October 26, 2009, at the MPO meeting at the Alzafar Shrine Auditorium, Wentworth indeed voted AGAINST his constituents who overwhelmingly (93 against, 7 in favor) testified AGAINST tolling 281 & 1604. Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff credited Wentworth and his son Kevin Wolff with garnering the votes needed to keep improvements to 281 and 1604 in the MPO plans as TOLL projects, defying 800 people, standing room only at the meeting. There are 57 toll projects in the MPO plan today. You will NOT be able to avoid this new tax...unless, of course, voters give Wentworth the BOOT!
Wentworth also directly lied to a San Antonio Republican Club when he said he was against the toll toads, when, in fact, he's the REASON we're still facing toll roads all over San Antonio (57 toll projects are in the current MPO plan!) and Austin.
Wentworth's law firm represented Zachry when Spain-based Cintra and partner, locally owned Zachry, slapped that unsolicited bid on TxDOT's desk to takeover and toll 281& 1604 in 2005, and Wentworth blocked that contract from being subjected to the moratorium on those foreign-owned toll roads back in 2007. It wasn't until we went on radio to expose his personal connection to Zachry that Wentworth backtracked and we got 281 & 1604 yanked from Cintra. He's totally ingratiated himself with the highway lobby and pro-tollers his entire career (his campaign finance reports show the money trail). There is NO WAY he should be allowed to make such a claim and get away with it!
Wentworth also received an 'F' for the disastrous 82nd legislative session last year, voting for all of the worst, most anti-taxpayer, anti-property rights, pro-toll legislation since 2003.
By contrast, Campbell will fight for FREEways not tollways, to STOP ill-conceived toll projects, to get ELECTED leadership at TxDOT, and to END road tax diversions! You can contact Campbell's campaign to donate and/or volunteer today.
Campbell and Wentworth face a run-off on July 31. Early voting is July 23-27.

Decent hotel, for the price. The room was mostly clean, but it was obvious not much effort was put into cleaning. For 1 night's stay, it was fine.

Diller Scofidio+Renfro Take on Exhibition Design at the Cooper-Hewitt
Design studio Diller Scofidio+Renfro (DS+R) has certainly had a very good week. As we noted yesterday, the firm's designs for the Columbia University Medical and Graduate Education Building in Washington Heights have just been released, and now today, the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum has announced that DS+R will be working with museum staff on the redesign of the museum's exhibition spaces that are currently under renovation on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
A Spinning Piper Seneca Lands in Central Park
It's a bird! It's a plane! No, it's actually a plane. On the corner of 60th Street and 5th Avenue in Manhattan, a six-seat, twin-engine Piper Seneca aircraft balances on two vertical steel posts positioned at the end of its wings, playfully rotating on its own axis and likely confusing visitors to Central Park. After doing a double take on the surreal scene, find a plaque located nearby and you'll learn that this mysterious aircraft is actually an installation by artist Paola Pivi, whose portfolio includes scenes of zebras on snowy mountaintops and arenas of screaming people. Working with the Public Art Fund, an organization dedicated to present artists' work throughout New York City, Paola Pivi opened her newest installation featuring the Piper Seneca, How I Roll last Wednesday, June 20th.

39 Battery Pl.
Through July 2012
Focusing on the years between 1870 and 1930, News Paper Spires at the Skyscraper Museum considers the buildings where the most important events of the day were committed to the public record with ever-increasing speed. Just after the Civil War, The New York Times, The New-York Tribune, and The New York Post all were headquartered on the so-called "Newspaper Row" to the east of City Hall Park (above), each headquartered in early skyscrapers, where writers and editors worked above, while below typesetters and steam-engine powered printing presses churned out morning, afternoon and evening editions. In this exhibition, the history of these vertical urban factories—including their migration from downtown to midtown—is considered through films, architectural renderings, photographs, typesetting equipment, and the archival newspapers themselves.

Through April 6, 2012
In 1807, to head off health threats and a growing lack of habitable space, New York City's Common Council commissioned a three-year project to organize massive land development north of Houston Street. The Museum of the City of New York presents The Greatest Grid: The Master Plan of Manhattan, 1811–2011 in honor of the bicentennial of the 1811 Commissioners' Plan for New York, which established the iconic street grid from Houston to 155th Street. Along with the original, hand-drawn map of New York's grid plan, other historic documents demonstrate the city's physical development due to the grid's application and evolution over time. Co-presented by the Museum of the City of New York, the New York Public Library, and The Architectural League of New York, and sponsored by the Office of the Manhattan Borough President, The Greatest Grid will be on display until April 6.
Bjarke Ingels, WSJ Architecture Innovator of the Year
If Bjarke Ingels' ascension into starchitecture hasn't been dramatic enough, the Danish architect is again moving up in the world. On Friday, Ingels' firm BIG threw a party to christen their new office space in Manhattan. BIG has expanded its Chelsea presence, moving up from the third to the twelfth floor of the Starrett-Lehigh Building. A press preview of the new space preceded the party a couple floors above. Among those in attendance were Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark, who earlier this month awarded Ingels the $90,000 Culture Prize—the MacArthur of Scandinavia—for his emerging work in architecture.
Now it looks like Ingels' October has just been getting started. The Wall Street Journal Magazine will declare the Danish architect among its inaugural Innovators of the Year. Read More

Selected photographers include Victor Andrade, Ali Karakas, and Roberto Linsker, among others. The selection is diverse, with works ranging from distant portrait landscapes of the towers from the Hudson River, to bold aerial views, black and white night shots, glowing, hazy sunsets, andclose-up structural shots, like the work of Tuca Reines, above. Gallery 1500—the only gallery in the world to focus specifically on Brazilian photography—brings together these poetic works, capturing the power, strength, and beauty of the city as it is no longer.

Follow the commissioner as she takes us through the dog run and points out clever details like the "Get-Downs," the riverside bar stools, and "seat walls."
A Pictorial Description of Broadway in 1899
Last week, we came across illustrator James Gilliver Hancock's series of playful block elevations titled "All the Buildings in New York." It turns out this impulse to sketch block upon block of New York's architecture has been around for quite some time. In 1899, the Mail & Express newspaper company published a graphic journey down Manhattan's Broadway in a book called A Pictorial description of Broadway now archived at the New York Public Library.
The stroll down Broadway 112 years ago reveals just how much New York has evolved over the past century. As the NYPL says, "The result, as you can see here, is a 19th century version of Google's Street View, allowing us to flip through the images block by block, passing parks, churches, novelty stores, furriers, glaziers, and other businesses of the city's past."

TMZ has learned Mel Gibson exploded in anger last night on a college campus after an expert on Mayan culture accussed him of racially stereotyping the Mayans in the movie "Apocalypto."
It happened last night at Cal State University at Northridge in the San Fernando Valley. Gibson was speaking to a film class about his movies, and several members of the Mayan community came to hear the famous director.
After Gibson's presentation, the crowd was allowed to ask questions. Alicia Estrada, an Assistant Professor of Central American Studies at CSUN, challenged Gibson, asking him if he had read about the Mayan culture before shooting the controversial film. Gibson said he had.
Estrada persisted, stating that representations in the movie that the Mayans engaged in sacrificial ceremonies and had bloodthirsty tendencies were both wrong and racist. Estrada and others tell TMZ that Gibson exploded in anger, responding, "Lady, F**k off."
We're told Gibson also became extremely angry when members of the Mayan community protested on how they were portrayed in the film. The emotional Mayan members were escorted out of the room, and we're told Gibson screamed a parting shot -- "Make your own movie!"
UPDATE: Gibson's publicist, Alan Nierob, told TMZ, "This person was a heckler who was rude and disrupted the event, so much so that the event organizers had to escort her out." For the record, Nierob, not Howard Rubenstein, reps Gibson.
hahaha....they pull the Paris Hilton Racist story but they have a personal issue with Mel Gibson at TM Z because he is considered antisemitic.............................interesting OBEJ..hmm Subjective story from y'all..I guess the Hilton skank is still shagging your boss.
#31 mISS vICKIE we put you in big pot of boiling water and cook you like big succulent pig,,mmmmmmmmmmmyou taste good
Back off this guy, he was making a movie people, not a documentary.....these people should f*** off, just like he said.... why does his movie have to be 100% accurate, its a story...go find someone else to bother
Bottom line-The guy is a hot head. There is never a reason if your in the public eye, to go off on anyone. Hello, we are all going to hear about in 3 seconds after it happens. No time for recovery here Mel. Now all your critics can KEEP saying "See, I told you so, the guy is a whack job!"
Behave Mel and you won't have these problems anymore. Tsk, Tsk, Tsk.
He's nothing more than rich low class, just like the rest of them.
He couldnt even debate someone without using foul language.
Good Grief! It is a movie. I can't believe how many people take any movie SO seriously they feel the need to protest. It is a MOVIE, source of entertainment, not to be taken as gospel. *rolls eyes*
Mel is right! Don't like his movie, make your own or don't see it. Seems so simple, but eludes so many.
I agree with you American Girl( #8)...the race card is whipped out at every turn of controversy. Using it constantly seems to dilute the meaning.
Liberals at it again!!! Its only a movie and why in America does everyone feel there is a need to complain constantly. By the way I really would like to see more family movies(good stories, no sex or extreme violence) being made. All we are getting is desensitizing junk.
Members of the Mayan community? How many would that be...3?
I'm opposed to how robots were prortayed in I,ROBOT.
I'm opposed to how single celled animals were portrayed in THE BLOB.
And ants are not the bloodthirsty killers as portrayed in THEM.
And Martians definitely have a bone of contention with how they were portrayed in SANTA CLAUS vs. THE MARTIANS.
Hell, I would have done the same thing. People coming in and disrupting his dialogue with students by protesting should be told what he said. What he said is said a million times a day in the U.S., and it's only bad when a conservative says it.
I'm sick of this guy. A person states their opinion and you go all psycho on her? And the most intelligent comeback you have for her viewpoint is a swear word? Real mature Mel. Hopefully people will start seeing that this is how he really is and he's charmed you all to make money off you all for years. Can't wait to hear the excuses. Depression? Drunk again? Change in medication? Just waiting for one of the usual excuses for why this happened. How about the truth, this is simply how Mel is.
It's a MOVIE! Likely just as accurate as that Al Gore "Documentary"! Go Mel!! I for one am sick and tired of all this PC BS!
Mel got caught again. What a loser. Mel go back from where you came from and take your booze with you. We don't want to see your racist movies anymore.

If you think that a superstorm followed by an impromptu nor'easter might slow social New Yorkers down, well, you'd be right.
But does it stop them? Never.
As the snow pelted Park Avenue, there were tons of events in various states of motion around the city. At the Mandarin Oriental, Phoenix House held its fashion awards dinner and honored Diane von Furstenberg, Jim Gold of Neiman Marcus and Andrew Rosen of Theory. At the American Museum of Natural History, Fashion Delivers, which helps with donated fashion-industry products, threw a cocktail party—they gave an intended 700 dinners to Citymeals on Wheels instead—and honored Albert Boscov, the CEO of Boscov's, Lauren Bush and Stephen Ross of Related Cos. Meanwhile, at 82Mercer, the 18th annual Artwalk NY raised money for the Coalition for the Homeless.

"I'm here for Housing Works," said the actress Patricia Clarkson at the Altman Building in Chelsea, where the thrift shop was hosting its annual Fashion for Action shopping fundraiser. This year, 20% of proceeds were assisting those recovering from hurricane damage in Staten Island and the Far Rockaways. And there were people making their way through the vintage Chanel jewelry, the Tory Burch handbags and the Marc by Marc Jacobs coats. "I have a great life," Ms. Clarkson added. "I can get out of the house in a snowstorm."
Up at the Park Avenue Armory, the preview night gala for The Salon: Art + Design was under way to benefit the Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club. We got there on the later side; the halls were a little bare of people, but there was still plenty of supporters walking around.
"I wanted to stay home," said a bundled-up Marcia Mishaan, pointing to her husband, interior designer Richard Mishaan, "but he wasn't having it. And we have a dinner."
"Staying home is actually forbidden in our house," said the investor Wilbur Ross, as he milled about with his wife, Hilary, both of them in their winter coats.

"We survived Sandy, and now we get this," said the luxury consultant Ketty Maisonrouge, as she mingled and window-shopped with her husband, Francois, a senior managing director at Evercore Partners.

Muriel Brandolini, the decorator who last year sold off many of her own furnishings at the auction house Phillips de Pury, said the snow was "not a problem."
"Anything to come see art," Ms. Brandolini explained.
James P. Druckman, the president of the New York Design Center as well as of the Kips Bay board of trustees, said he wasn't concerned that the turnout at the party would be affected by the surprisingly large snowflakes coming down just outside the Armory doors.
"I didn't panic, we had no panic," said Mr. Druckman. "I was just talking to myself all day hoping that it was going to be good. I knew we would get the Kips Bay loyalists."
Mr. Druckman explained that with its ice-skating rink and various other features, Kips Bay is a "flagship boys and girls club" in the nation. He was looking for something to complement its much admired annual fundraiser in the spring: a decorator show house.
"Nancy, my wife, who sells antiques said, 'There's a new show coming to town,'" recalled Mr. Druckman. "I said if it's at the level of our show house, it would be a great idea.'"
The Kips Bay Boys and Girls Club "is really a ray of sunshine in the city," said Jill Deinst, an art dealer who is on the organization's board. "It's great that people are showing up."
"But can I tell you the best thing here?" asked her husband, Daniel. "The pulled pork sandwiches. She had to drag me away."
We didn't taste a pulled pork sandwich, mostly because we had dinner plans at the Waverly Inn, where the fashion website Mr. Porter was celebrating its collaboration with the Swedish fashion brand Acne. Acne started originally with denim; now, for Mr. Porter, it has moved onto tuxedos and evening wear.
There was nothing overdressed or stuffy about this repast: just hot tea, dirty martinis, Champagne, crab cakes and bananas foster with friends, as the wet snow pelted the cozy Waverly Inn's skylight.
