'He never bowed knee in surrender'
Chief Raph Uwechue, OFR, currently President General, Ohanaeze Ndigbo , was Nigeria's first ambassador to France. He has also served as Minister for Health. He was once a presidential aspirant under the banner of the defunct Social Democratic Party (SDP), as well as vice-chairman of National Democratic Coalition (NADECO). He has equally served as ECOWAS Special Representative in Cote d'Ivoire. In this interview with Okungbowa Aiwerie he shares memories of his association with the late Dim Emeka Odumegwu-Ojukwu and reflects on the Biafran experience
How did you feel on hearing of the death of Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu?
Every Igbo person that has followed the happenings in the country in the past several years feels greatly saddened by the demise of Dim Odimegwu Ojukwu. His passing away is like the passing of an age in the chequered history of the Igbo nation. Here is a man who stood up at a time when his people needed him, organised the defense of their dignity and political rights within Nigeria, and the support he got - which was virtually unanimous - is evidence of the confidence that Ndigbo reposed in him. Obviously the civil war which he conducted ended in a way different from what the Igbos would have liked, but that does not in any way detract from the fact that he stood up for the defence of Ndigbo and their political interest and rights within the Nigerian family. What led to the civil war had to do with massacre of Ndigbo in Northern Nigeria a year before, and the tearful exodus of those who survived back to the East. Ndigbo did not immediately under Ojukwu opt for secession. They felt that an arrangement should be reached within Nigeria to accommodate the security concerns of the various ethnic groups that make up our country. They encouraged and agreed to going to Ghana where the Aburi Agreement was struck under the chairmanship of the Head of State of Ghana, General Ankrah that guaranteed within Nigeria the security of the various regions. We thought peace would be based on that, unfortunately the Federal Government did not at the time keep to the terms of that agreement. So the Igbos said if we are not safe within Nigeria, and an agreement we all reached to guarantee the security of both the Igbos and other people cannot be kept, then we are really being rejected. That was the basis of the support that Ojukwu got .We stood up; he did not cave in. He stood up to say "No" either we stand on Aburi which keeps us within Nigeria but retains our security within Nigeria or we do not belong here. So his passing away is something that every Nigerian and every African at the time who knew what happened would feel that an age has passed in the history of not just Nigeria but of Africa.
When did you first come in contact with Dim Ojukwu?
It was the civil war that brought us together. I opened the Nigeria embassy in Paris in May 1966 then developments in the country began to happen which eventually led to the declaration of hostilities in May 1967. Now, Ojukwu was the leader of the Eastern Region just as Col Adekunle Fajuyi was the leader of the Western Region, and Major Hassan Katsina was of the North. That was the first time I noticed Ojukwu. When hostilities broke out, although I come from Delta which then was in Midwest Region, it was clear that the ethnic thing was an important element in the struggle. People who suffered in parts of Nigeria came from both the Eastern and Western side of the River Niger. So it became a uniting factor for Ndigbo to rally and defend themselves. So I said if Ojukwu stood up to defend Ndigbo I will join him. So did people like Major Patrick Kaduna Nzeogwu , Col Okwechime , Col Nwawor : they all said "Okay" if we have to defend our people let us do so. That was my first contact with Ojukwu, but we never met face to face until six years after the civil war at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris. He came from Cote d'Ivoire. For me it was an idea and an ideal. But obviously we were corresponding and we knew what each other was doing during and before the civil war. We supported his ideals and we still know that many Igbos did at the time.
When was the last time you spoke with him?
This was about a year or so ago at Owerri - there was a meeting organised by a tripartite group which included the traditional rulers of the East, the governors of the South East and Ohaneze Ndigbo. He delivered the keynote address on that occasion; that was the last time we met.
In what capacity did you work with Ojukwu during the civil war?
I quit the federal service. I resigned and started representing the Biafran government in France but I made it clear that I did not support secession. But as long as there was a war in which people were being slaughtered and being bombed, we joined to defend them. So I was representing the struggle that Ojukwu was leading at the time in France.
People always say nice things about the dead. But what would you say were his strengths and weaknesses as a man and leader?
As a leader, Ojukwu has demonstrated great intellectual acumen and ability to communicate with people especially in words what people call oratory. He showed courage as a leader - these were his strengths. As for weaknesses, we all have our weaknesses. I am unable to pinpoint any immediately because we were not really close in everyday life.
Is there any particular incident that you remember which captured the essence of the man?
Much of what we know of him and his activities are related directly or indirectly to the civil war; that was when he came into prominence and showed his true colours. There was a time when people came to him saying that because of the onslaught that was being unleashed on the Igbo population that he should surrender, Ojukwu said "never " and did not. So, that attitude struck me as a reflection of his true character. He did not participate in the surrender ceremony. Ojukwu said he would not bow and left Nigeria on voluntary exile.
In the end Biafra collapsed. Is the failure of the secession not tantamount to a failure on the part of its leader?
The fact that the Biafran episode ended the way it did is due to a collective input both by the leadership and those who supported the leadership massively in what the leadership was doing .The word 'collapse', obviously while it is apt, was near inevitable simply because the match was uneven .The Federal Government got the support of the international community and the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) at the time because they were opposed to secession. So, military help came from different parts of Africa for the federal side. What Biafra got was just a trickle compared to the massive support given to the federal government to fight secession and defend the integrity of the Nigerian state; just as it did in the Congo when Moise Tshombe had tried a few years earlier to secede from the Congo. The international community opposed it, so Ojukwu was fighting an uneven war like an ordinary person against a giant.
On his return from exile he plunged straight into NPN. Was it a mistake that he went into partisan politics? Would Igbo unity have been better served he had stayed out of the fray?
Well, Ojukwu did what most other people would do if they were interested in political activity. There was no way an individual comes prancing around to defend any interest, nobody will take you seriously .You had to join a party to so do and he chose one and did so. He was interested in politics and needed a platform to project his beliefs and the agenda he thought was okay for Nigeria. I would not say it was a mistake. If he did not succeed to become President or to become anything politically he will certainly not be alone in that category: Zik tried twice, Chief Obafemi Awolowo tried.
Many feel that his mystique was greatly diminished after he became a politician. Do you agree?
Anything that lasts long has various points in the process of lasting long. There are ups and downs in people's assessment of anyone who stays long on the political scene, but the outpouring of emotion and encomiums that we now see after his death shows that if there has been any diminution at any stage that certainly did not last.
What was his role in and relationship with Ohanaeze Ndigbo while alive?
Well, Ojukwu had a quite a close relationship with Ohanaeze Ndigbo before even my own assignment as President General .The record is there. In my own case when I became elected to head Ohanaeze Ndigbo he phoned me. I happened to have been in the house of Admiral Ndubuisi Kanu in Lagos. He said he was phoning to congratulate me on my election as President General of Ohaneze. So he has always kept interest, but you know he did not die suddenly: his health waned over a period, so did his participation in general activities so to say.
Does his death make the dream of an Igbo emerging president more realisable in 2015?
Whenever a people are united by any cause - especially by a tragedy - they reflect on what they need to do jointly. So it is conceivable that Ojukwu's passing away will make Ndigbo realise the need to rally and get a leader at national level who will replace him in their thoughts, and no better position can be thought of than the Presidency of our country

"Social Psychology" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American comedy television series Community. It aired in the United States on NBC on October 8, 2009.
Jeff (Joel McHale) begins to bond with Shirley (Yvette Nicole Brown) over their mutual distaste for Vaughn (Eric Christian Olsen), Britta's (Gillian Jacobs) new boyfriend, a laid back hippie. However, in an effort to show that he and Britta could be friends, Jeff tries to refrain from making fun of Vaughn, but can't help himself from sharing a poem that Vaughn had written for Britta. The incident breaks up the relationship and brings up the question of dating and intimacy within the group. Meanwhile, Annie (Alison Brie) joins Professor Duncan (John Oliver) in a psychology test that tests people's patience, which has Abed (Danny Pudi), Troy (Donald Glover) and Señor Chang (Ken Jeong) as test subjects.
Around 4.87 million Americans watched "Social Psychology".[1]
Todd VanDerWerff of The A.V. Club rated the episode B+, praising the way the show "keeps shuffling around which characters share storylines with which other characters, giving everyone a chance to get some screen time with someone else."[2]

San Antonio
San Antonio Travel Guide
You can't visit San Antonio withoutstopping by the Alamo, the famed site of a disastrous 1836 battle between Texans and Santa Ana's army. Not only is the Alamo a cornerstone of the city's history, it's also an incredibly convenient destination: So many of the other things to do in San Antonio are located nearby. But here are some other experiences that will enrich your visit:
Visit the other missions. The Alamo is not the only mission in town. The San Antonio Missions National Historical Park, which features not one but four missions, offers a well-preserved look into the Spanish colonial past—plus, it's much less crowded than the Alamo.
Sit in on a mariachi mass. Even if you're not Catholic, you'll find that the musical service at Mission San José is one of the most unforgettable things to do in San Antonio.
Shop in Market Square and El Mercado. This three-block area is home to Mi Tierra as well as 32 little shops where you can find pottery, tiles, piñatas, jewelry and every other gift-shop treasure you can possibly imagine, all at great prices.
See world-class art. The McNay Museum is housed in a Spanish Colonial mansion and includes works by Van Gogh, Picasso, Matisse, Renoir, Cézanne and O'Keeffe.
Plan a kid-friendly outing. San Antonio is home to such child-friendly places as Six Flags and Sea World, as well as Brackenridge and HemisFair parks. During basketball season, you can also join the locals as they cheer on their beloved Spurs.
There is arguably no better way to spend a hot summer Saturday than floating the Guadalupe or Comal Rivers. Rent inner tubes from companies such as Texas Tubes before the two-hour trip.
Ostrich, zebras and ibex come right up to your safari vehicle on this 400-acre ranch loaded with over 500 animal breeds, including 40 exotics. Look out for the year-old twin reticulated giraffes, the only pair in the U.S.
Head here for hands-on exhibits—throw on your hard hat for the Lend-a-Hand Ranch; zip up your astronaut gear for Destination Space—in downtown New Braunfels.
Established in 1981 and housed in what was once the Lone Star Brewery Complex, the San Antonio Museum of Art boasts one of the largest collections of ancient Mediterranean art in the southern United States, as well as one of the nation's finest Asian collections.
Despite its Spanish Colonial belfries and arches, the museum's strong suit is Impressionist and modern art (Van Gogh, Picasso, O'Keeffe, Pollock).
Cookbook author Melissa Guerra stocks hard-to-find housewares from Central and South America and Mexico. Molinillos, hand-carved milk frothers from Mexico, and Chilean clay earthenware pots make useful souvenirs.
Years as agent: 35. Other specialties: Italy, the Iberian Peninsula. Consulting fee: From $350. email@example.com
Why It's Cool: This granddaddy of river walks charms with four miles of cypress-lined cobble- and-flagstone paths along both sides of the narrow San Antonio River.
A reverential tone is everywhere in the mission itself, from the trinkets in the gift shop to the admonitions on the wall asking visitors to keep their voices down, as though this were a church, which, in a sense, it is.

Willing to lie how we met
I know what I want out of life and where I want to get in life. I am doing what I can day by day, but in the meantime I am getting what I can out of the military life. I can be silly and goofy at times. I am pretty down to earth and chill. I can be reserve and quiet at first, because I like to observe. I begin to open up once I feel comfortable and/or buzzing =) I love to watch sports, play soccer, golf, snowboard, listen to most music genres, learn new things, travel, and see my family when I can. I'm just looking for friends and people to hang out with. If things lead to more I'll go with it, but a relationship isn't a priority in my life at the moment. I think life is extremely vast and a blessing; you never know whose path you'll cross and the impact you or the other person will have in their lives. So make�conversations, smile, and be friendly.

Class of 1967 Fall Letter
Fall 2013
Greetings to the Luther Class of '67!
It is the fourth week of October as I write this, but in northeast Iowa we have just had our first significant frost of the fall, a couple of weeks late from the usual pattern of things. Typically, the week after the first hard frost is the time when the colors of the earth show themselves most intensely in the hardwood trees, but the view of the beautiful Oneota Valley from the Luther campus was none-the-less spectacular during Homecoming week early in the month.

LED Light Upgrade program
We consistently hear from riders who have there doubts about LED Aux lights. Some just are not sure of their capabilities, Some have seen the LED lights that are extremely bright to look at yet put out very little forward lighting,
Many have been bitten by the allure of what appears to be inexpensive or less expensive LED lights. Only to have failures when they needed the products the most. This is very prevalent in Chinese made LED lights. There is a lot more that goes into an LED than throwing a Cree emitter in a case. Thermal degradation, thin wires and weak mounts are just a few issues. I have never seen a quality LED light made in china.
If you have a failure,and you will, all the sudden that inexpensive light cost you much more. In the long run, wouldn't it be better to buy quality in the first place?:deal
There are good reliable LED lights from Cyclops and other companies.
You do not need to spend an arm and a leg for quality products. Look at the total cost of wire harnesses, ease of install and most of all reliability. It doesn't take much to see that value is more than the bottom line.
We are offering a $75 credit for your broken, failed or just inadequate LED lights toward the purchase of a set of the lifetime warrantied Long Range LED's with dimming harness.
seen in this thread . Quality and value meet here.
This is a limited time offer and not good with any other discount
Awesome promotion!
Nice deal. I have two model 30s from advmonster that have stopped working. $75 each will go a long way towards buying your. How do I do this?
You would PM me and then send the lights in.
$ 75 is the total allowance.
I've also got a broken adv monster light, would that work? :evil
I dont know how long we can do it for.
Great promotion idea, hope it goes well.
I'd be interested in upgrading my Super Sherpa's LED single lamp to one of your 10 degree singles or maybe a dual, if that would work with your $75 LED trade in upgrade credit. It's only got a 15 amp alternator, and I have some Gerbing heated gear plugged in at times.
The offer is good for a set of lights with the dimmer, I cant do it on single lights and stay in business.
A set of the long range or NXG prime lights will pull less wattage than the single light you have, so that should not be an issue.
What might be an issue with the Long Range for you is the mounting, The Long Range lights are quite a bit larger than the light you currently have (3x3)
I could see a set mounted to each side and maybe slightly lower than your current setup.
Otherwise I know of a good light bracket for the KLR
PM sent,
Need some new lights for the 1200 gs LC
Pm sent
PM sent.
Thank You
Thanks everyone.
We have quite a pile of trade in lights stacking up here:clap
Please note that the offer includes the dimming harness and is not available with the standard harness.:deal
We do have a ADV discount code for those that do not want the dimmer.
Code is ADV
1 800 624 0278
Any discount for turning in HID set up?

The battle for mobile device Operating Systems has created a full ecosystem of go-to-market strategies for digital goods and services. This service focuses on the revenues of the large end-to-end mobile ecosystem companies including Apple, Google's Android, Amazon Kindle, Microsoft's XBOX and phone platforms as well as monetization on emerging platforms such as Mozilla, and Android Open Source Project (AOSP). ABI Research reviews these not from a device perspective, but from a monetization and strategic perspective. This service reviews application revenues by O/S vendor, as well as category and looks at the B2B relationships between O/S vendors, OEMs, and operators. Finally, this service delves beyond mobility to other emerging application areas, including smart TVs, automotive applications, and wearables.
A number of elements of the application ecosystem which extends to a specific content including advertising, music, storage, etc., extend beyond the boundaries of a single O/S or platform; we track those in the sister service, Cloud Content and Services.

Tried fasterfix and a couple of different modems. Guess I'll flash back to 2.9.2 to see if GPS works there first since its the easiest thing to do and I'll report back.
I think once you get locked, it'll show how many satellites you're locked on. That's how I use it. I also use GPS test and it does the same thing but shows the satellites in a bar graph. Then I just use Google maps and try to GPS my position right there. It'll start off with like 1500 meters, so I just exit out and go back in and see if it gets more accurate.
Make sure you turn off wifi if you're connected to a router. I've notice when I'm on wifi, Google maps keeps the accuracy at 20 meters and not closer. Without wifi and just on 3g/gps, i can get an accurate reading of 6-8 meters.
For a great list of safe apps to remove, download (this link is on the OP):
Open it with 7-zip then open the Remove apps with Notepad++ or something similar. It is a great list of apps that are safe to remove. You can even edit it to remove all the apps that you want while leaving the rest.
(7-zip and notepad++ are windows applications.)
edit: s9amme beat me to it also this link lists all the removed apks without needing to download open with notepad.

U.S. corn, soybean futures rise as demand strengthens
CHICAGO, July 28 (Reuters) – U.S. corn and soybean futures
rose on Monday with both markets supported by strengthening
demand and isolated dry areas that could hamper development of
the crops in the Midwest.
Wheat futures were lower but trimmed losses in the wake of a
U.S. Agriculture Department announcement showing a wheat sale to
Nigeria and a soybean sale to top importer China.
Sugar rush at ethanol plant fuels fight with Nebraska corn farmers
CHICAGO (Reuters) – An ethanol plant in Nebraska corn country is pumping out fuel made from sugar beets, and corn farmers are suing to stop it – a small-town dispute that offers an unusual take on the debate over the market-distorting impact of sugar and corn subsidies.
The dispute in Aurora, population about 4,400, brings into conflict two of the largest U.S. farm programs, one promoting sugar production and the other corn-based ethanol. Aventine Renewable Energy Holdings Inc, a privately held Illinois firm, is reaping profits producing ethanol with cheap sugar, thanks to a U.S. Agriculture Department subsidy of beet sugar.
U.S. Army Corps to close upper Mississippi as waters rise
CHICAGO (Reuters) – Rising flood waters were expected to make 11 locks and dams impassable on the mid- and upper-Mississippi River and force the closure of the river later on Monday from Bellevue, Iowa, to Saverton, Missouri, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers said.
The closure would be the most extensive since 2008 on that stretch of the country's busiest waterway, said Ron Fournier, public affairs officer for the Army Corps' Rock Island district. At least 80 barge tows are expected to be affected by the closure.
Wheat set for biggest monthly drop since 2011 on weather hopes
CHICAGO, May 30 (Reuters) – U.S. wheat eased on Friday to
the lowest in nearly three months, capping the futures' biggest
monthly decline in almost three years as improving weather for
crops kept the market focused on comfortable global supply.
Corn fell also fell to a roughly three-month low while
soybeans declined on favorable weather forecasts for final
spring sowings and for early crop development in the United
"Generally, the weather for growing conditions is excellent
in most areas," said Sterling Smith, futures strategist at
Citigroup in Chicago. "If you draw a line from central Nebraska
to central Ohio, there's a good mix of rain and sunshine for the
next several days."
Wheat was also pressured by cheaper supplies elsewhere in
the world. The U.S. Agriculture Department showed exports of
wheat last week at a net cancellation of 52,400 tonnes for the
current marketing season, below analysts' expectations.
"We are pretty noncompetitive globally," Smith said of U.S.
wheat prices.
Benchmark Chicago Board of Trade July wheat fell 5-1/4
cents to $6.27-1/4 per bushel, lowest since March 4. Wheat
fell about 12 percent for the month for the largest such decline
since September 2011.
July corn eased from earlier gains to shed 3-3/4 cents
at $4.65-3/4 per bushel, lowest since Feb. 28. Futures
snapped a six-month streak of monthly gains for the largest
monthly decline since September of last year.
"The U.S. market is still under the pressure of the
improving weather conditions which enable farmers to end corn
sowing. The wheat crops are benefiting from rains which favor
their development," French consultancy Agritel said in a note.
The improved crop conditions in the United States come as
countries such as Ukraine and Russia have undercut U.S. shippers
in international markets, despite concern that tensions between
the two countries would disrupt grain trade.
"There is hardly any purchase of U.S. wheat at these levels
so there is potential for more downside in wheat prices," said
Kaname Gokon, general manager of research at brokerage Okato
Shoji in Tokyo. "We might see the price fall below $6.30 and
then $6.00 a bushel in June."
Soybeans edged lower as the market continued to weigh up
tight old-crop supply against prospects for large U.S. and
global production this year.
CBOT July soybeans were 5-3/4 cents lower at
$14.93-1/4 per bushel. Soy lost 2.5 percent for the month, the
first monthly decline in four months.
Wheat falls 7th day, corn nears 3-mth low on weather
CHICAGO, May 29 (Reuters) – U.S. grains slumped on Thursday,
with wheat futures heading for their seventh straight session of
declines on investor long liquidation tied to favorable weather
for crops and cheaper supplies on offer in Europe and the Black
Sea region.
Wheat futures have fallen sharply from the more than
10-month high they notched early this month amid a deep drought
in the southern U.S. Plains hard red winter wheat belt. But
crop-friendly rains fell over the weekend, while a weekly
weather report early on Thursday showed drought conditions
Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures for July delivery
eased 7-1/4 cents to $6.31-1/2 per bushel, the lowest in about
three months. Wheat on a continuous chart was on track to
shed about 11.5 percent this month for the worst such
performance since September 2011.
Corn futures for July delivery were down 4-1/2 cents
at $4.68 per bushel as of 11:46 a.m. CDT (1646 GMT). Corn was
hovering just above the near three-month low notched in the
previous session.
Showers were lingering in the Midwestern crop belt, while
further precipitation forecast next week should benefit recently
planted corn seeds, the Commodity Weather Group said in a note.
The weekly U.S. Drought Monitor showed a slight expansion of
abnormally dry areas in the Midwest even as the most severe
drought conditions eased in the Plains.
"The reality is hitting the market," said Don Roose, analyst
at U.S. Commodities in West Des Moines, Iowa. "Funds have been
big longs throughout the spring and they're sitting with a
sizable position in a more favorable weather environment."
U.S. regulatory data last week showed that speculative
investors, a category that includes hedge funds, reduced their
long bullish bets in corn for a third straight week and switched
to a net short, or bearish, position on wheat futures.
The better conditions in the United States come as countries
such as Ukraine have undercut U.S. shippers in international
"Ukraine is selling wheat in our backyard to Mexico. We have
Europe beating everyone to the punch. The competition is keen,"
Roose added.
CBOT July soybean futures edged 1-3/4 cents higher to
$14.99-1/2 per bushel, boosted by snug supplies and strong bids
by domestic processing plants.
"Soybeans are getting a boost from tight U.S. stocks," said
Andrew Woodhouse, a grains analyst at Advance Trading
Australasia. "Crush margins in China have improved over the last
couple of weeks, before which soybean cargoes were being
diverted from South America to the U.S."
China has more than 5 million tonnes of U.S. soybeans on the
books for 2014/15, on its way to an estimated 72 million tonnes
from all suppliers for the year. It now represents about two
thirds of global soybean imports.

Corn, wheat hit near 3-month low on improved crop weather
CHICAGO, May 27 (Reuters) – U.S. grain futures fell more
than 1 percent on Tuesday, with corn and wheat hitting roughly
three-month lows, as favorable crop conditions and signs of
easing tensions in major export hub Ukraine sparked investor
long liquidation, traders said.
Bull spreading in Chicago Board of Trade corn <O#C:> and
soybean futures <0#S:> saw new-crop contracts posting larger
declines than nearby contracts, reflecting forecasts for mostly
dry conditions for planting in the U.S. Corn Belt.
Analysts on average expected the U.S. Agriculture Department
in a report due late on Tuesday to say farmers caught up on corn
and soybean sowings after a slow start to the spring planting
"We're definitely taking the concern off this market about
planting progress, especially given the forecast. We have a very
good forecast for very good potential yields this year," said
Rich Nelson, an analyst at Allendale Inc.
Most-active July corn futures fell 6-3/4 cents to
$4.71-1/4 per bushel, the lowest level since March 4. New-crop
December corn shed 8-1/2 cents to $4.66-3/4.
Soybeans for July delivery were down 23-3/4 cents to
$14.91-3/4, while November beans were down 24 cents at
$12.41-3/4 as of 10:38 a.m. CDT (1538 GMT).
Wheat futures fell for the fifth straight session and for
the 13th time in the past 14 trading sessions as substantial
rainfall in parched areas of the U.S. Plains reinforced the
outlook for a large global crop. Tuesday was the first trading
session this week for U.S. futures after the U.S. Memorial Day
holiday on Monday.
Grain prices overall were also undermined by relief that
there was a decisive outcome in Sunday's presidential election
in Ukraine, a major grain exporter, despite fighting in
pro-Russian strongholds in the east of the country.
"There is a bearish tone in wheat and corn markets after
elections in Ukraine and there is improved weather in the U.S.
grains belt," said Kaname Gokon, general manager of research at
brokerage Okato Shoji in Tokyo.
"Rainfall in the south of the U.S. is improving the chances
of a good crop, which should ease the currently tight supply
situation in the U.S., as well as resulting in a further
inventory build worldwide," Commerzbank analysts said.
The recent slide in international wheat prices has been
reflected in selling by investment funds. Noncommercial traders,
a category that includes hedge funds, switched to a net short
position in CBOT wheat in the week to May 20, regulatory data
released on Friday showed.
Prices at 10:38 a.m. CDT (1537 GMT)
CBOT corn 471.25 -6.75 -1.4% 11.7%
CBOT soy 1491.75 -23.75 -1.6% 13.7%
CBOT meal 495.40 -7.20 -1.4% 13.2%
CBOT soyoil 40.11 -0.27 -0.7% 3.3%
CBOT wheat 643.25 -9.25 -1.4% 6.3%
CBOT rice 1513.00 -11.50 -0.8% -2.5%
EU wheat 192.25 -0.50 -0.3% -8.0%
Barge shipments of Brazil soy bound for U.S. Midwest crushers -trade
CHICAGO, May 8 (Reuters) – Deep discounts for Brazilian
soybeans are creating an unexpected new market with U.S.
processors and animal producers far upstream in the heart of the
Midwest farm belt where the beans will be shipped on barges.
While light soybean imports by U.S. users along the Gulf and
East Coast are not uncommon, it has been nearly two decades
since South American supplies were unloaded at the Louisiana
Gulf and towed up the Mississippi River to inland processors.
Corn near 3-week high on slow planting; wheat gains
CHICAGO, April 29 (Reuters) – U.S. corn rose more than 1
percent on Tuesday, heading for the third straight session of
gains and nearing a three-week high as rains and cold
temperatures prevented farmers from planting in much of the
Midwestern crop belt, analysts said.
Wheat and soybeans also climbed at the Chicago Board of
Trade as speculative investors made bullish bets tied to adverse
weather conditions in the United States even as crop-friendly
rainfall fell elsewhere in the world.
Corn led the way higher after the U.S. Agriculture
Department in a report released after the close of trading on
Monday said spring plantings were behind schedule and below
analyst expectations.
"The planting figure may be up from last week but it is
still short of the five-year average," said Vanessa Tan,
investment analyst at Phillip Futures. "The USDA data gives
further evidence of delays to the U.S. planting season this
U.S. farmers had planted 19 percent of their corn crop as of
April 27, behind the five-year average of 28 percent and the
average analyst estimate of 21 percent. More rains were moving
across the Midwest and southern Delta region on Tuesday,
stalling planting of corn, rice and soybeans until at least the
weekend, meteorologists said.
"If corn was 23-24 percent planted, the trade wouldn't care
about this week's weather," said Mike Zuzolo, analyst at Global
Commodity Analytics in Indiana, adding that the USDA was likely
to report another behind-schedule planting figure next week.
Farmers who cannot plant were turning bullish on grain
prices, forcing ethanol and sweetener makers to bid up in
efforts to entice sales.
"The bull spread is very active. There is a cash pipeline
issue – it's pretty tight right now," Zuzolo said of the cash
corn market.
CBOT July corn was up 6-1/4 cents at $5.20 per bushel
while new-crop December futures gained 4-1/2 cents to
$5.14-1/4 as of 11:06 a.m. CDT (1606 GMT).
Most-active CBOT July soybeans were up 12-1/2 cents to
Wheat futures reversed earlier losses to turn higher as an
annual crop tour of fields started in top wheat-growing state of
Kansas. Early tour reports showed wheat plants partially damaged
from cold and dry weather, with recent rainfall helping to
mitigate drought conditions but coming too late to boost yields.
USDA on Monday reduced the condition of the wheat crop by 1
percentage point, to 33 percent good to excellent. That was well
below the five-year average of 49 percent.
Wheat futures were pressured overnight by showers in growing
regions in Australia and eastern Europe and news that Argentina
authorized an additional 500,000 tonnes in 2013/14 wheat
exports, bringing the official exportable surplus for the season
to 1.5 million tonnes.
CBOT July wheat was up 6 cents to $7.14-1/2 per bushel
while Kansas City Board of Trade July wheat jumped 11
cents, or 1.4 percent, to $7.97-1/2.
Wheat falls on profit-taking after 2-week high
CHICAGO, April 28 (Reuters) – U.S. wheat fell for the first
time in five sessions on Monday, declining from an earlier
two-week high as investors took profits and meteorologists
forecast crop-friendly rain in Asia, Europe and Australia,
analysts and traders said.
But the top wheat-growing region in the southern U.S. Plains
remained dry, buoying prices for the variety of the grain used
most widely in breadmaking ahead of an annual crop tour in re
"Globally, we've had really great weather in a lot of areas
- key rains in Australia, China and the FSU (former Soviet
Union)," said Austin Damiani, an analyst at Frontier Futures in
Minneapolis. "The big picture is that the world wheat prospects
are better today than last week. We still have supply concerns
in the U.S., but Chicago is trying to price in this global
Benchmark Chicago Board of Trade wheat for July delivery
eased 1 percent, or 7 cents, to $7.01-1/4 per bushel after
earlier hitting the highest level since April 16. Kansas City
Board of Trade July wheat was down only 3/4 cent at
$7.78-3/4 per bushel as of 11:01 a.m. CDT (1601 GMT).
KCBT wheat reflects the hard red winter wheat grown in the
southern U.S. Plains, an area suffering under severe drought. A
tour of crop fields hosted by the Wheat Quality Council kicks
off on Tuesday in Manhattan, Kansas, and will estimate
production for the HRW wheat crop on Friday.
The CBOT wheat contract is based on soft red winter wheat
grown primarily in the eastern U.S. Midwest and used in crackers
and cakes, but with the highest volume in global wheat
derivatives the contract more closely tracks global trends.
Political tensions between Ukraine and Russia – top grain
shippers from Black Sea ports – also underpinned grain prices.
CBOT July corn edged down 3/4 cent to $5.12 per bushel
after earlier hitting nearly a three-week high while soybeans
for July delivery rose 3-1/4 cents to $14.97-1/2.
U.S. President Barack Obama announced new sanctions against
seven powerful Russians with close ties to President Vladimir
Putin on Monday, freezing assets and imposing visa bans. The
United States also sanctioned 17 Russian companies in reprisal
for Moscow's actions in Ukraine. The latest sanctions, which
followed measures taken when Russia annexed Crimea last month,
were aimed at dissuading Putin from fomenting a rebellion in
eastern Ukraine. The president said he was holding broader
measures against Russia's economy "in
"If there is escalation in tensions, it may cut exports from
Ukraine and Russia," said Vanessa Tan, an investment analyst at
Phillip Futures. "As of now, exports have not been impacted. But
going forward, there is risk as sanctions could bring financing
Growing areas in western Australia received widespread
weekend rains while showers were forecast for much of the next
10 days in Europe and FSU crop areas, improving soil moisture
for the wheat and corn crops there, the Commodity Weather Group
said in a note to clients.
Storm systems brought deadly tornadoes that killed at least
16 people in Arkansas, Iowa and Oklahoma. The storms also halted
fieldwork in much of the U.S. Corn Belt, delaying already
behind-schedule spring sowings.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture is expected to show in a
report due after the close of trading on Monday corn plantings
at 21 percent complete, below the five-year average pace of 28
percent, according to a Reuters poll of analysts.
Soybean seedings were estimated 3 percent planted, below the
normal pace of 5 percent, according to the poll.
Football players are first college athletes to vote on union
CHICAGO/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Football players at Northwestern University on Friday became the first U.S. student athletes to cast ballots in an election to decide whether to unionize.
The vote, which has the potential to upend college sports, was supervised by the U.S. National Labor Relations Board in a university building near the football field on the Evanston, Illinois, campus.

Posted by: Marita on: December 10, 2011
There are so many fabulous blog posts about Autism and Aspergers that I discover each week I thought it was time to showcase them.
I'm posting on Saturdays so I can link up with the wonderful #SpecialSaturday on Twitter.
1. Twelve Tips for Helping Those Living with Autism Have a Happy Holiday Season
"While many happily anticipate the coming holiday season, families of people on the autism spectrum also understand the special challenges that may occur when schedules are disrupted and routines broken. Our hope is that by following these few helpful tips, families may lessen the stress of the holiday season and make it a more enjoyable experience for everyone involved."
This time of year is so stressful and each year I find another tip / idea that helps us cope a little better.
2. Autism Advocacy and Points of View
"I can't tell anyone else what to think but I can post helpful (not judgmental) comments. I can offer support and alternatives and I can try to promote a positive view via my blog. It's the best I can do. I can offer change but I can't force it. "
A thought provoking post from Gavin about how we can accept that others have different points of view and questioning the need to try and change differing points of view. Honestly Gavin's blog is just brilliant, you should set some time aside to read all his posts.
3. Do more children have autism now than before?
Research into Autism Spectrum Disorders is at an exciting stage, where we can examine how genes and the environment combine to cause this condition.
If the next 20 years of research is half as fruitful as the previous 20, it's a good bet that we will get to the bottom of the supposed "autism epidemic".
Thank you to one of the Mum's at school for pointing this brilliant article out to me. It is refreshing to see the fact based approach in this article rather than the usual hysteria found elsewhere. I personally get frustrated that so much research time and money was wasted due to Andrew Wakefield and his vaccine fraud – it could have been put to far better use either finding the real cause of autism or even better helping those on the autism spectrum – children and adults (yes adults autism is for life, not something you can cure) – either through advocacy work or research into ways that came help them in their day to day lives.
4. The Obsessive Joy Of Autism
"One of the things about autism is that a lot of things can make you terribly unhappy while barely affecting others. A lot of things are harder.
But some things? Some things are so much easier. Sometimes being autistic means that you get to be incredibly happy. And then you get to flap. You get to perseverate. You get to have just about the coolest obsessions. (Mine are: sudoku and Glee. I am not ashamed.)"
There are just no words to express how much I love this post, I read it just after watching Heidi and Annie open their advent presents and the joy the author writes about was all there with Heidi jumping and flapping and throwing herself into my arms, she was so excited and happy about the little toy gorilla she had received. Soft toys that have just the right sensory texture make Heidi happy.
5. A cup of cold coffee….a short story.
"She may never find out exactly why her son was upset but she's learned that she will find out if she needs to know. She lives in the moment because it's all she can manage right now."
I read this post with tears in my eyes, it could be written about our lives, our morning routine.
Have you written an Autism post this week? Feel free to link up and share your post here.
Hi Marita, again a wonderful list of posts! I especially loved the one explaining about the obsessive joy of autism – that, in particular spoke to me this week.
I have linked up a post from earlier in the week about looking after our carers – not an easy job but we need to look after ourselves properly in order to look after our kids.

And I know that I let you have all the power...
But I was in a good mood today.
I made brownies.
And danced in my kitchen.
And played baseball.
And jumped on the trampoline.
And played Scattegories.
In Ceramics I finally got my pot to be 6 inches!
I call it....the beast.
And the best part of all.....
A Boy. :-O
;-) We'll see, we'll see.

Tentacles On Broadway: The Secret World Issue 4
The Secret World's 'Issue 4â?³ update will burst flailing onto the streets of virtual Manhattan later this month. It's going to include a raid in which you fight your way across the streets of the Big Apple, as well as a range of other content, including chainsaws. How you get the chainsaw seems a little gruesome. Can't secret society soldiers just go to a hardware store?
The update is also ' bizarrely ' going to introduce The Albion Theatre, which will allow groups of players to use props and sound effects to put on 'plays' in the game for other Secret Worlders to watch. Bonkers.

In laser sclerostomy, a piece of the sclera (the white part of the
eye) is removed to create an opening where fluid can drain out of the eye. This
procedure is rarely done and can only be done at hospitals that have the
special lasers it requires.
Laser sclerostomy:
If a special medication (5-fluorouracil) is used, less scar tissue
usually forms after this surgery. This medication can be used with other
surgeries for glaucoma to decrease scarring.
This procedure has many risks, including:

The best is yet to come...
During the nice weather you're likely to find me outside hiking, riding, kayaking or just enjoying a great cup of coffee...preferably outdoors in a cozy cafe. I love a good cup of coffee! I'm just as comfortable throwing on a ball cap and hitting the bike trail as I am dressing up for a night on the town. I love to dress up! I'm comfortable in my own skin and easy to talk to. I enjoy meeting and getting to know people and consider myself a good communicator and listener. I have a true love of travel. It doesn't need to be epic, just an exploration of somewhere new or different. I approach travel as an adventurist rather than a tourist. I'd love to hear your stories and share some of my own. Another passion I have is volunteering and helping those in need. Some qualities I find attractive in a man are intelligence, humor, good communication skills and a caring disposition. It would be great to have some interests in common, but I welcome the opportunity to explore new and different hobbies. I'm mature in my relationships and am looking for the same in return. It would be great to meet and get to know each other a little better. Hope to hear from you soon.

I Love music! You'll hear tunes playing more often at my house than the noise of the TV. My new hobby of cycling is becoming a favorite pastime and I embrace travel adventures…epic or small, doesn't matter!
I have diverse interests....music, reading, kayaking, hiking, bicycling, cooking. I'm teaching myself to play piano and also learning a bit of spanish (un poco). I enjoy home improvement projects try to do a lot of them myself (still learning!).
Fiction adventure/thriller/suspense would be my genre of choice at any given time. I also enjoy history and historical fiction.
