Rocklin ready for trial in ex-officer's civil rights lawsuit
By: Jon Brines, Placer Herald Correspondent
Former police sergeant claims wrongful termination
Rocklin is ready for trial in a federal civil rights lawsuit brought by former Rocklin police Sgt. Rick Eaton, according to the lead attorney defending the city. Eaton filed a lawsuit against the city of Rocklin, City Manager Carlos Urrutia and Police Chief Mark Siemens for wrongful termination. "We'll go to trial and win," defense attorney Bruce Scheidt of Kronick, Moskovitz, Tiedemann and Girard said. Eaton filed suit for unspecified damages after he was terminated from the Rocklin Police Department in 2004. He was terminated after a series of questionable incidents outlined in court documents including insubordination and a violation of the city's anti-harassment policy. Right now both sides are waiting for a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The city filed an appeal, which stated the city manager and police chief have immunity because the decision was part of their job. "The ninth circuit has to decide if they have immunity," Scheidt said. "Public officials, if they make reasonable decisions, get immunity from prosecution." Eaton's lawyers filed a motion to dismiss the city's appeal since it hasn't gone to trial yet. They want their day in court. The city alleges Eaton violated the city's anti-harassment policy during a discussion of breast implants with a female officer. "They were listening to a sexually provocative radio station while he is in uniform and supervising her after the hour of midnight," Scheidt said. "He asked her to see her breasts." The plaintiff's lawyer James Ashworth contends the female officer chose to discuss her breast augmentation surgery with him. "It was serious enough for him to apologize to her. He admitted that," Scheidt said. "He never accepted discipline for this." Instead of firing Eaton, Siemens put him on a 40-hour suspension. "Siemens was practicing progressive discipline," Scheidt said. After a series of instances of insubordination, the city manager was forced to fire Eaton, according to Scheidt. The city's case relies on the findings of arbitrator William Riker who looked at the termination back in 2006 and said there was plenty to fire him over. "One of the issues we're going to bring up in our appeal; if the city could lawfully and reasonably rely on Riker's arbitration decision and could terminate him based on that," Scheidt said. "If that's so, there shouldn't be any lawsuit." The arbitration decision stated Eaton should have been fired because he was disrupting the good order of the police department. Ashworth said Eaton's role was more of a whistleblower to problems in the force. "Our client, Mr. Eaton, raised issues involving the chief," Ashworth said. Scheidt points to an event shortly after Eaton filed suit in State court but before he was terminated, when he dug up dirt on a Rocklin police lieutenant who was conducting an internal affairs investigation against another officer who was allegedly caught driving under the influence. "Eaton admitted he was offering (the officer) assistance in fighting the department's discipline," Scheidt said. "It was not Eaton's place to volunteer this information or use it to influence the outcome of the investigation." The city's case includes numerous incidents where Eaton undermined the police chief and leadership to subordinate officers. "He was in a war against the department," Scheidt said. "Eaton feels he can violate the rules if he is doing the right thing on matters of public concern." The arbitrator said in a paramilitary organization like the Rocklin Police Department, Eaton's type of insubordination was especially troublesome. "You have to rely on authority. They have guns, hurt people and kill people. You can't disparage the chief to subordinates," Scheidt said. "You complain up the chain of command or publicly but you don't complain to the very people you are relying on for peace." Scheidt wants the public to know that even though Eaton has a right to file the lawsuits, he's lost five of the six legal challenges he's raised over the last six years. "When you terminate someone, they have a right to grieve it," Scheidt said. "But at some point you have to accept finality here. Eaton is the most litigate employee I've ever seen." Eaton's sixth and last outstanding claim references equal protection under the law, which the complaint alleges the city violated by treating each grievance by employees differently, which violated Eaton's civil rights. "The concept behind equal protection is that you have to treat all individuals equally," Ashworth said. The complaint alleges Eaton was one of many employees seen by management as non-team players who were terminated or forced to resign after grievances against the city. "There were no more complaints out of the Rocklin Police Department after they canned everybody," Ashworth said. Ashworth has testimony from a number of former Rocklin officers seeking to support Eaton's case against the city. Scheidt said none of their claims will hold up in court either. "Eaton has a lot of malcontents, under-performing people who have problems with their own performance and this is get-even time," Scheidt said. Scheidt said he isn't worried about what they have to say because all the evidence supports that no laws were broken. Scheidt said he is confident the original arbitration decision will ultimately hold up in court. "When you read his side of this, you get a distorted picture," Scheidt said. "The court may just say we think a jury should ultimately decide the one remaining issue here." It could take up to 18 months to rule.

Cool Products at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium
Mar 2013 Issue of Wine Business Monthly
Every year I comb through the booths at the Unified Wine & Grape Symposium (UWGS) for new products that have the potential to change the wine industry. Although there were more notable new products than usual, I think this year was mostly a year for iterative improvements rather than revolutionary breakthroughs. The overall mood of the show struck me as fairly upbeat. The crowds seemed less wall-to-wall than some previous years, but the official numbers pegged the total attendance at a reco...

I've had one my questions answered before and I'd like to thank you for answering it because it was very useful :) Now I've got more!
• Sex with my significant other has been wonderful the past few times we've done it, emotionally. I still wonder about physical, though. I have orgasmed before but only with my own clitoral stimulation. Is there a possible way or technique used to attain vaginal orgasm?
• I've also wondered about unprotected sex...I have not done it yet, but I don't want to rush into things before something bad happens. I am on the pill and we were both virgins when we started. So I know that there is no possible risk of STD's. I heard it feels better for both partners with no condom, so what are my risks and options?
•I always thought that sex in the water was unhealthy. Then I came across a book in my local sex shop about how to have sex in the water! Doesn't the water ruin the latex of the condom or is it safe not to use one in the water?
I'm 16 and have been with my boyriend, also 16, for 5 months. He has only ever fingered me as I don't really like the thought of other sexual activities too appealing but feel I am ready for sex as it is a way to be as physically close to him as I am emotionally.
My only problem is is that my opening is really tight and can fit about 2 fingers maximum-- sorry this sounds disgusting? His friends tell me about his "massive penis" and I'm scared he won't be able to fit it in. We have spoken about sex and both agreed that we want to do it, but now I'm just nervous that it won't go as I'd always expected it because I'm too tight? Please help.
My Boyfriend and I are new to doing anything sexual. We are both virgins and have never had intercourse, just oral. How do I tell him what he is doing does nothing for me and doesn't please me without hurting his feelings, and what should I say to him?
I have been with my boyfriend for about three months and I am not sure if I'm ready to have sex. How do you really know if you're ready? We have talked about sex before and he wants to do it but I'm just not sure if I want to or not. We have done other things and have also talked about those and if it felt good for us. It was just a little bit awkward talking about it with him at first, then I got more comfortable. He's not pressuring me into doing it, I just want to make sure I'm absolutely ready because I don't want to regret it.
There is another question I would like to ask. If you have been masturbating for quite some time (by rubbing my clit), and I mean a long time, will I only be able to get pleasure from rubbing or will having sex feel good too? I have read somewhere that you can get used to one thing and only be able to feel pleasure from it. My boyfriend has fingered me, it hurt a little at first but then it didn't. It's not that I hated it, but I also didn't get pleasure from it. I'm scared that I won't be able to get pleasure from anything else other than rubbing. Please help.
My boyfriend and I were feeling very heated last night, so he decided to finger me. I was fine with that, obviously, because he asked if I wanted it and I said yes. We've decided we want to have sex but are both worried about the pain. And last night, he wanted to explore, and I told him go ahead. He tried to stick his finger in "the hole" and it hurt, very badly. I'm a pretty tight girl, and he had trouble getting even his pointer finger in. Now, it's the next morning and it's still a little achy. Did I get my "cherry popped"? Is my first time with him going to hurt badly because I'm so tight? I'm nervous, help!
Me and my girlfriend were both virgins and just had a go at intercourse for the first time. Unfortunately, her vagina is really tight and is pulling the foreskin on my penis back causing pain for me and also for her. I've fingered her a few times to help loosen it up, and wore a condom to help with the lubrication, but it's just really painful. Is there something wrong with my penis, or just too much wanking?
My boyfriend and I started having sex a couple months ago. Before that, I was a virgin. Since then, we have done it about 4 or 5 times. Well, tonight, he was fingering me and while he was I felt slight pain but it went away pretty quickly. Afterwards, I realized I bled some. It wasn't like period blood though, it just looked like regular blood. Is there any way possible that he could have just now "popped my cherry" even though we have done it a few times before? I thought that happened the very first time. Also, is it possible for a female to have an orgasm if her cherry isnt popped? We talked about the reason I haven't had an orgasm and we have been trying to find the right spot, but after this incident...I was thinking maybe that was the reason I haven't orgasmed.

Due date: 04/06/13
My husband and I have the hardest time agreeing on baby names and when we decided on Finley we thought that we were going to have it easy this time. Well, now that Finley is getting more and more popular with girls (!) we have decided to continue our search. All the names that are "fin" names (except for Finley) my husband declined. After months of searching we decided that we both like Oliver. Only problem is that we already had the middle name of James ( after his grandfather) picked out and our last name starts with an S. It wasn't until this week I realized that his initials are OJS. Are these awful initials or am I over thinking this? My husband thinks that they are fine and refuses to give kids second middle names. I need some advice from someone other then him and my family.

For Emergency Response Dial 9-1-1
To Report a Non-Emergency Crime Dial 456-2233
On Sunday, June 10, 2012, at about 5:30 a.m., Spokane County Sheriff's Deputy Marc Melville responded to 16th and Dishman-Mica Road reference a stolen vehicle call. When Deputy Melville arrived on scene, he saw two vehicles stuck in the trees next to the
railroad tracks.
Deputy Melville spoke with the father and son victims. The father told Deputy Melvi...lle that at about 4:30 a.m. he was leaving his son's home. His son's vehicle was partially blocking his vehicle so he moved it into the road, and left the keys in the ignition.
He attempted to start his vehicle but, due to a problem with his alarm system, had to wait about ten minutes before it would start.
The father went inside his son's house and when he looked out the window, saw his son's vehicle traveling northbound on Dishman Road. The father and son team gave chase in the father's vehicle north on Dishman Road to 8th Avenue. At that point, the car thief
chose to drive southbound on the railroad tracks between Dishman Road and Dishman-Mica Road and the father/son team chose to follow.
When the vehicles reached the area of 16th Avenue, both the car thief and father/son team lost control of their vehicles and drove into a group of trees just south of 16th Avenue. The suspect ran northbound on Dishman Road and the victims lost sight of him.
The suspect was described as a white male, about six feet tall wearing a blue shirt and black pants. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Check at 509-456-2233.Information about this Spokane Sheriff News story is also available at www.facebook.com/SpokaneCountySheriffsOffice

Watch The Doom 3 BFG Edition Trailer
I have to admit I'm a little excited about the Doom 3 BFG Edition. Not only will the disc contain the complete Doom trilogy on the current generation of consoles, but Doom 3 has been updated, and it looks actually pretty great. As is often the case, the release of an updated version of a game as old as Doom 3 suggests some real movement on the long next installment of the series, Doom 4. We'll be at QuakeCon this year, and hopefully we'll be getting a closer look at both the Doom 3 BFG Edition, and Doom 4.
Here's the trailer. Enjoy

Why Do You Need a Checking Account?
A checking account serves a variety of useful purposes. Of course, it is a requirement for getting and maintaining a personal installment loan at King of Kash (and almost any other loan company), but it also provides an invaluable set of opportunities and protections for your money.
Carrying Cash Can be Tricky
A checking account is a safe and secure way to pay for things. Certainly, we all know carrying a big roll of cash with you to pay for rent, utilities, gas, groceries, etc. is not a safe or smart way to manage money. Beyond the obvious of it possibly being stolen there's the chance you could lose some or all of it, or lose track of how much you are spending and wind up short at the end of the month. A checking account lets you pay bills and manage your money using paper checks, debit card or online transfers and bill payment.
Checking Accounts are Available Everywhere!
Almost any bank or credit union will offer consumer checking accounts and you usually have a choice of several types of checking accounts from the simplest type that allow you to draw money out of the account with paper drafts (checks) to more elaborate types of accounts that require maintaining minimum monthly balances, pay interest, offer overdraft protection, etc. For the majority of people, a simple free checking account is the way to go. Although each financial institution is different, a free checking account should offer the following:
- No Low Balance Fees
- Free ATM and/or Debit Card
- No charge for ACH and Direct Deposit transactions
- Free online access to your account
- Unlimited monthly check writing
- No minimum check writing amount
- Free or low cost initial paper check supply
With great power…
It's important to note here that having a checking account is an important responsibility. If managed correctly, it can be one of the most valuable tools available to any of us to manage our money and keep up with obligations. If it's not managed correctly, the financial and even emotional costs can be devastating. If you don't keep track of your money and you wind up bouncing checks you could be paying as much as $37 to the bank for each bounced check and it can turn into literally hundreds of dollars in fees in no time at all. By not managing a checking account responsibly, you can be subject to a bad impact on your credit score, bills that you have to pay with money orders or expensive cashier's checks, the closing of your account and even the possibility of arrest for passing bad checks. To make it all much easier, Financial Planning has a great guide that will help you balance your checking account properly each month.
Overdraft fees and bounced check charges are way more than the interest charged by King of Kash for a personal loan so don't hesitate to call us or stop by one of our loan store locations to discuss your needs. In the long run taking a little time and effort to manage your money properly by working with the banking system can save you money, save headaches and keep your checking account open!
2 Comments
Unfortunately King of Kash requires having an open and active checking account. There are other lenders who tend to be more typical of Payday-type lenders who may be able to help you if you have some other type of account that might be used to guarantee repayment. Best to call around to some closest to you. Good luck

All this talk about bullying in the past week hits close to home with me.
I was a both a victim and aggressor at different points in my school days.
As the bullied, I was so afraid of getting beaten up for a period in junior high that I stayed in the house for six months, leaving only to attend school or play hockey.
When I went to school, I'd sprint home after the final buzzer rather than stick around for the bus and expose myself to potential confrontation.
And, when I went to hockey, my parents or older brother had to pick me up.
I was in survival mode and scared, a lot more afraid than I needed to be.
It was the lowlight of my teen years.
Having always been extremely outgoing and super social prior to this, I was sent to counselling by my worried mother.
Looking back on that, seeing the counsellor got me out of the house and within a few months I was back on track.
As the bully, I was never threatening or violent - not that I can recall anyway - but I did say some pretty mean, nasty and unfair things to people for no other reason than to get a laugh at their expense or to make them feel inferior to me.
My cruel comments were usually about their appearance, something they had done, or some perceived shortcoming.
I'm not going to repeat the kind of things I'd say because I'm still too ashamed - almost 30 years later.
I know it hurt them, shook their confidence or even brought tears to their eyes.
I also know that in those instances, I was an idiot.
And that's the point I'm trying to make, really.
Being bullied is traumatic and can consume your existence, but with help and time, things will get better, a lot better.
For me, luckily, I've aged to the point where being bullied is only a memory, and it's not an entirely negative one, to be honest.
I look back on conquering my fear and anxiety as an accomplishment, a lesson in overcoming adversity and dealing with difficult people - important knowledge that continues to have value throughout adulthood.
But being a bully, on the other hand, stays with you. The hurt you caused others can, and will, haunt you, if you've got any kind of a conscience at all.
Sometime, 10 or 15 or 25 years later, you'll be walking through the mall, or waiting in line at Tim's, or downtown at a bar, and you'll come face to face with one of the people you mocked or insulted.
And you'll hang your head in shame and feel about an inch-and-a-half tall.
And when an occasion arises to apologize, the person won't really buy it, or else they will say with a cold look, "Yeah, you were an asshole."
That's been my experience with bullying, and it's the first time I've ever written about it.
I do so with the goal of giving one victim hope or making one bully stop.

Reviews of Kevin Smith: Too Fat For 40 2010
This is the fourth Q&A from Kevin Smith.
I'm a huge fan of Kevin Smith! I like all his movies, shows, Podcasts. For who is also a fan of him this Q&A is also very funny too see. Lots of background of his movies. And his private life, as a stoner :)
Same as Threevening - plenty of good anecdotes but these are more confined to his most recent projects.
I'm not the hugest fan of Kevin Smith, but I can respect what he does. I like a few of his films, and the rest are okay (I haven't seen the much-maligned Jersey Girl). I guess he has such a cult-of-personality that it can become grating if you're not part of that following.
To his credit, he is a fine orator of anecdotes. Even if I don't agree with his side of the story all the time (learn your lenses,…
Kevin Smith is a very funny man and I love hearing his stories.
bitter kevin smith talking shit and avoiding to answer the question straight away. i feel really bad for anyone who asks him something, because then they have to stand there and listen to him go on and on about every single thing that comes to his mind...
Out of all of Kevin Smith's bullshit (of which there is many), thje thing that annoys me the most is the fact that he feigns interest in interactivity with his audience by hosting these faux Q&A type deals where he clearly has predetermined exactly everything he wants to talk about. No matter what the question is, he will link it to what he wants to talk about. Why can't he just call it a spoken word event or a lecture or even fucking stand up at a push?
After the disappointment of Sold Out and Smiths slow move from filmmaker to Podcaster with his head up his own ass, I approached this one with trepidation. Initially it looked like it was going to be Smith doing his "stand up" routine on stage, but then he threw it out to the audience for questions. He then proceedes to spend the next 3 and a bit hours answering the first and only question. Fortunately he is on fine form this time, finding more to talk about this time than screwing his wife or his dogs anus.
Kevin Smith is an entertainer, plain and simple. He isn't a standup comic, but he is a comedian. This special is basically just Smith telling stories and rambling for two hours, with some interesting insights into his work and career. A solid good time.
I don't think I've really enjoyed a Kevin Smith movie since Dogma. I haven't really liked any comics he's written for over a decade as well. However, I still very much enjoy him as a personality, and I like these specials he does (can we really call them Q and As when he takes so long to answer one question?).
I imagine one knows if one likes Kevin Smith before one watches something like this. He doesn't try to be…
Just like with Henry Rollins , I enjoy Kevin Smith doing spoken word more than what he normally does as a job .
Not bad but it was full of stories I had already heard on Smith's podcast.
Though not technically a stand-up special or a documentary, Too Fat for 40 is genuinely Kevin Smith doing what he does best, and why many fans love listening to him, which is basically tell stories.

Livestock groups led by the National Cattlemen's Beef Association are continuing to fight for defeat of the farm bill. Despite their opposition the measure last week passed the House and is expected to be voted on in the Senate this week. NCBA President Scott George says they're opposing the farm bill because it doesn't fix Country of Origin or GIPSA rules. He says it also failed to put in needed regulatory fixes.
George says if the Senate passes the farm bill, then his group will work for a stand alone bill or other legislation to try and fix those problems.
The National Pork Producers Council and National Association of Manufacturers is also opposing passage of the farm bill.

Saving Graces 4 Felines' Joanne Elkins brought Mikey the cat by the WITN studio Wednesday. He's about 6 months old and full of energy. She says he would be a great pet for a family with children. She says cat "teenagers" are sometimes hard to find homes for because people come into adoption thinking they want a kitten or an older cat.
If you are interested in learning more about fostering or adopting a cat from SG4F you can email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 252-355-3404.
Saving Graces 4 Felines is a non-profit organization formed to help stray, abandoned, and feral cats who have no home and are left to fend for themselves in less than desirable environments. The mutual love that all members of our organization have for these wonderful animals is behind the organizing of this effort.

The First Year Initiative (FYI) Program extends academic support to first year students through programs and services. Programming activities are developed with the first year students' transition in mind by focusing on issues such as meeting people, identifying campus resources, time management, test taking, getting involved on campus and managing homesickness.
The FYI Program is the total collection of programs and services in Blumberg, Burford, Cromwell, Erickson, Pickerl, Rhoads, and Sandison Halls. First year students residing in other halls are welcome to participate in all FYI programs and services. The staff in the FYI areas are dedicated to go the extra mile to ensure freshmen success. The staff will seek out students intentionally to provide them with personal contact and outstanding programs.
The Resident Assistant (RA) lives on the floor with the residents and is responsible for developing a healthy community on the floor by: programming, activities, interpretation and enforcement of policies and procedures, managing conflict, mediation, providing academic support, and by serving as a resource to the students.
The Academic Peer Advocate (APA) lives on the floor or an adjacent floor and is responsible for assisting first-year students in their academic transition to Indiana State University by supporting, facilitating and promoting academic excellence and achievement.
In addition there is an Area Director, Assistant Hall Directors (AHD) and an Assistant Hall Director for the FYI program that will be available in each FYI residence hall.
Also part of the First Year Initiative are Faculty Partner Programs, which include Academic Themed Communities, Faculty Luncheons, and Faculty-to-Student outreach and mentoring. For more information, please visit our Academic Partnerships page.

Ah, the road film. The formula is tried-and-true: usually two people, taking to the back roads of America in order to get somewhere by a certain time or for a particular reason. Along the way, cars break down, trains are jumped, and quirky characters are encountered. It can be funny, sweet, or darkly dramatic. But the formula rarely strays. Because of this, the key to a good road film is what happens during the journey. You want to see lessons learned, growth, and bonding. But you also want to see interesting characters and maybe a good car chase thrown in, too.
Tribeca seems to have at least one of these films every year. Last year it was Chasing 3000. This year, it's Tennessee, a slow-moving but sweet story of two brothers who go back home to find their abusive father; what they find, though is that there's more than one reason to go home. p>
The story is pretty straightforward: in 1993, after finally confronting his alcoholic, abusive father, Carter Armstrong (Adam Rothenberg) escapes from Tennessee to New Mexico with his mother and little brother Ellis. Fifteen years later, the mom is dead, Ellis (Ethan Peck) has leukemia, and Carter is not a bone marrow match. Ellis suggests that they go back to Tennessee to find their father for a possible marrow donation. Carter, who sacrificed a future as a college football star to protect his family, reluctantly agrees.
So they set off on the road in Carter's taxi. Along the way, Ellis befriends Krystal (Mariah Carey), a diner waitress who decides to join the brothers in order to escape her own abusive relationship, with state trooper Frank (Lance Reddick of The Wire). The usual spiritual journeys ensue, with Frank's relentless pursuit of his wife thrown in for good measure.
Watching Tennessee, one can tell that director Aaron Woodley is in love with the varying landscapes in these United States, as he takes loving wide shots of terrain ranging from the dessert of New Mexico to the lush green hills of Tennessee. It makes for a great backdrop for the story, which is low-key in every sense of the word. Even the menacing specter of Frank isn't played up any more than it needs to be. In essence, Woodley makes sure that the exploration of how people can overcome their pasts and redeem themselves is at the forefront of his film.
The performances are what's most notable about the movie. Rothenberg plays the booze-addled Carter with the right combination of self-pity, rage, and restraint. His Tennessee accent goes in and out, but otherwise, his performance is fine. Reddick is realistically scary as Frank. Peck, in his first film role, is remarkable as Ellis, stoic in the face of his illness, but with a sense of responsibility that his older brother never really had. And, if anyone was worried that Carey was going to overwhelm the picture with her star power, there was no need to worry; she properly eschews her glam persona to play Krystal, whose dreams have also been squashed by abuse. She even sports a passable Texas accent, which is no small feat for a girl from Long Island.
As you'd expect to see in most road movies, there are some leaps of faith that need to be made in order to ensure that the journey is completed. It's interesting that none of the stories end the way a person would expect, but sometimes those twists work and sometimes they don't. But those details shouldn't dissuade you from checking the movie out. Tennessee isn't action-packed, but it has a story that should keep you engaged from start to finish.

Tighter supplies, weather and crop condition pushed the grain markets higher. For the week, May wheat gained 16 cents, while the nearby corn contract moved 30 cents higher. Soybeans rallied this week as the May contract posted a weekly gain of 52 cents. Nearby meal prices tagged along, adding $8.40 per ton. In the softs, cotton continued its downward trend as the May contract posted a weekly loss of $1.21 per hundredweight. In the dairy market, May Class III milk gained 48 cents while the June contract moved 13 cents higher. Over in livestock, the June cattle contract fell 75 cents. Nearby feeders were off $3.38. And the June lean hog contract moved 20 cents higher. In the financials, the Euro gained 66 basis points against the dollar. Crude oil lost $1.41 per barrel. Comex Gold declined by $74.50 per ounce. And the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index lost a little more than 5 points to settle at 623.60.
Pearson: Here now to lend us his insight on these and other trends is one of our regular market analysts, Alan Brugler. Alan, welcome back.
Brugler: Great to be here.
Pearson: We've got a lot going on this week. One of the issues that has been on the mind of a lot of exporters recently has been the dollar. We've seen it climbing. This week what is your take on where the dollar might be headed?
Brugler: Well, I think the dollar is starting to pull back a little bit here. We saw that against the Euro particularly -- actually what has been driving the dollar up mostly has been the Japanese Yen. Japan has been trying to weaken their currency, kind of take a page out of the U.S. playbook and weaken the currency, stimulate some exports. That's been really pushing the dollar up. The dollar itself is a basket of currencies, the dollar index, and we saw a little bit of a correction there this week, which is actually helpful for commodity exports in commodities or price in dollar terms.
Pearson: Now, looking at the Yen, they're predicted to continue to continue to try to weaken the Yen. Is that going to have a long-term impact on the dollar's place in that basket do you think?
Brugler: Well, the portion of the basket that is Yen denominated, yeah, it'll be kind of a drag on the dollar, or a push on the dollar I should say. But keep in mind that the U.S. and several other countries have been trying to do the same types of stimulatory things and everybody can't do it at the same time, at least and have any effect on the currency.
Pearson: Okay, so we're all sort of level just --
Brugler: Yeah, it's -- the dollar is cheap compared to what is the way I would put it.
Pearson: Alright, good way to think about it. Well let's take a look at exactly what is being exported. Let's talk the wheat market. We saw some heavy freeze across much of the wheat belt but then we also saw in the report world supplies are looking pretty good. Can you talk to us about what we should expect with wheat here in the upcoming week?
Brugler: Well, this weekend, probably next week as well we'll be very interested in the amount of freeze damage that we saw. We had that freeze at the end of March that affected some of the crop in Oklahoma. Much of the crop hadn't advanced to a stage that it was vulnerable to the freeze. We had another cold snap this past week and it looks like some below normal temps again this coming week. So we're continuing to nick that crop. If there's snow cover it doesn't hurt it so much but if it is jointed or starting to get further on in the heading stage or shooting out stems then it is more vulnerable. So we're definitely losing some hard red winter wheat protection which is the bread wheat. Soft red tends to be grown in a different area of the country. It is actually getting pretty good rains and it's a little behind in maturity but doing okay. So we think overall the wheat crop is down a little from where we had estimated it would be, particularly the hard red. On the global side of things though everybody likes growing $8 wheat or $7 wheat and so you're looking at potentially fairly large crops in the Ukraine and Russia. India has got surplus wheat from last year they're still trying to sell. So it's kind of like the U.S. and Canada down but the rest of the world is trying to make up for it.
Pearson: So now how is the market going to handle that? What is the best way for producers in a situation that they're in right now?
Brugler: Well I think you have to be fairly defensive right now. The normal seasonal pattern, if there is one, is to decline into May or June as we get into harvest and then once the harvest gets put away it goes back up. Now there are years when we have an exception but we've done a fair amount of forward pricing both in the cash market and in terms of hedges and we think we just want to stay defensive until we know just how much the crop has been lost to that weather.
Pearson: So -- so keep an eye on it, see how things shake out in the next week or so before we get a true idea of what is happening on the fields in the Midwest?
Brugler: With a potential for the second or third largest world crop this year you can't, can't wait to sell. You've got to have something on the books.
Pearson: Don't wait until harvest and get caught up. Alright. Well let's take a look at corn. We did see corn kind of reverse its trend that we've been looking at for the past couple of weeks. We saw a rise this week. What is driving the corn market? Can you talk to us a little bit about the supply and demand estimates?
Brugler: Well, basically as you know March 28th we got a bit of a surprise on the grain stocks side. There was more corn sitting there in the country than what the trade had anticipated. If you go back in hindsight you can see what, well, exports were way down so that stuff didn't get shipped out of there and so forth. But -- but the story this week was that USDA basically decided that most of the "excess corn" that was around was going to be used between now and the end of September, excuse me, the beginning of September, that we're basically still in a price rationing mode. We knocked the price down, that ethanol consumption will go up, feed use will go up, exports will probably respond to a degree and therefore they did not fully reflect that stock surprise in their year end projections. That is bullish. And then we got a little bit of life in the wheat market which had been used as a substitute for corn feeding and that also helped the corn.
Pearson: So now looking at old crop corn, this current rally that we're on, how high do you think we can ride this? What is the trade's best level of support to keep an eye out?
Brugler: Well, we've got some chart resistance in the $6.50s and we've got some more in the $6.75 level. I would be very surprised to see it go above $7.00 on the board. We have to be a little careful here because there's probably no deliverable stocks against the May futures so there's potential for a little bit of speculative short squeeze there. The commercial elevators already are moving their bids to the July though so that doesn't mean the farmer will necessarily see it. If the cash business based on the July but it's the May that is going up, you don't get the benefit.
Pearson: Sure. Sure, now taking a look at new crop, what is your best advice to producers out there?
Brugler: Defensive. We are talking about the largest acreage since 1936. I think we're going to get a little nervous about late planting here. The USDA is probably going to come out with their first actual planting progress report for corn this week, just remind people that while we had, you know, 15-20% of the stuff planted last year the average for this week is only 4%. So we're not that far behind long-term history, we are behind last year. Where that will become an issue though is if we plant average or later and then have a hot summer. Okay. The advantage to the early planting is that you get better pollination.
Pearson: Certainly.
Brugler: So, any delays in planting, while maybe not technically a problem, are a problem if it is followed by a hot, dry summer.
Pearson: If we get a repeat of last year's summer temperature wise.
Brugler: Or even two years ago when we had the heat, with adequate moisture it still hurt the yield.
Pearson: Certainly. Certainly. So go ahead and plan on selling into this rally if you've got some uncommitted bushels for new crop do you think?
Brugler: I think there's a lot of producers that are not as far sold as they probably should be given the potential for the down side. Now, flip side of that is that 33 out of the last 37 years December corn futures have rallied enough on a weather scare to take out their January high. That was $6.05 a bushel. So there were four years it didn't but the odds are pretty good that we'll have some kind of weather scare at some point. So it doesn't mean you have to load up the sales here to the max.
Pearson: Alright. Well let's talk soybeans. Soybeans are also being carried along on this recent little rally we've got. What are your thoughts on old crop beans? How did the market interpret the supply and demand estimates there?
Brugler: Well, actually that was bullish as well because USDA left the ending stocks at 125 million bushels, trade had been looking for 10 or 15 million bushel increase there, a little looser stocks use situation. USDA raised the exports another 5 million basically saying we're still selling more. They were cautious I think in that because there are cancellations. There is a potential that some of the sales that are already on the books don't end up getting shipped. People question why they didn't go a little further on the export sales estimate but that's why. And the other reason is we're basically running out of beans at the rate we're going. So it's bullish but, again, South America has got a record crop. USDA did not cut the South American production which had been anticipated. They left the numbers fairly high and so there's a very narrow window for the U.S. to export in and, in fact, the last five weeks our exports have been running below their normal pace. So the South Americans are already starting to eat into our ability to ship.
Pearson: And that has been something we've been talking about for a while now, they're actually beginning to ship out of South America and get caught up. So looking at that what sort of resistance levels do you see on old crop beans?
Brugler: $14.40, $14.50 is pretty stout resistance and we're not that far away from it for old crop. The new crop has been unable to rally really. We've got this short covering type of thing going in the old crop in the December, excuse me, November is just kind of laying there. So, again, I think you have to be fairly heavily hedged on the new crop, maybe not so much on the cash side if you're not sure about your weather and your production. But have some protection against that long-term trend to go down here.
Pearson: Okay. Because it's -- but we still could get that weather scare this early in the year. It could happen. Let's take a look at the softs. Looking at cotton we saw a little bit of a selloff last week. We're down a little over $1.20. What is your thought on the cotton market?
Brugler: Basically the market rallied, the new crop, the December rallied trying to buy acreage. We actually had an 18% change in price from the fall low until the recent high. So that's a fairly substantial move. And then USDA told us in the planting intentions report it really didn't succeed, it really didn't get that many acres but apparently we've given up, okay. The profit taking has kicked in. The exports are still doing well in the old crop but USDA left the projected old crop stocks unchanged at 4.2 million bales. So a little speculative steam is coming out of the market and we do know that there's record large world stocks of cotton. So it's hard to argue that we need to go upright here.
Pearson: So there is a ceiling, just looking at that record large world there's a ceiling on cotton, we're not going to get a lot of excitement into the market.
Brugler: Yeah, we started to move up both our -- we've just about finished our old crop cotton sales and we recommended people move up their new crop as well.
Pearson: Alright. Well let's take a look at livestock. We saw cattle futures get huge on the 28th after we saw the limit down days in corn. Since then we've trended down a little bit this week. Can you talk to us about where you see live cattle headed?
Brugler: Basically the meat business is the key here. Alright, we've got 94%, 93% of last year's cattle numbers on feed. That is a positive, less supply. On the other hand, export sales have been iffy, not that good in February, March got better because the Japanese came in and made a big order. But the box beef price is hanging in there at fairly high levels. Historically still 6 or 8% above a year ago. But unable to crack the $2 per pound for the whole carcass, alright, the $200 mark. As long as that is the case the futures are kind of limited to $128 or $130 for a maximum price. And that is basically what we've been seeing. Cash trade this week was $128.
Pearson: Okay. So we're going to have to wait and see if grilling season can get people out there, get some of this meat sold and consumers willing to pay a little bit more.
Brugler: You nailed it.
Pearson: Alright. Let's talk about feeders. As we look at that in the live cattle market we saw feeders pretty good selloff this week, just about -- just shy of $4. Where do you see the feeder market headed in this environment?
Brugler: Well, feeders are fairly scarce in terms of numbers, you know, the calf crop is down 50 year low and so forth. but the problem is, of course, corn rallied this week, 30 cents per bushel rally it gets priced into the other inputs, which the number one other input is the feeder cattle. So feeders were going to go down unless you saw a big rally in the live cattle so that the feeder could pass that on and that didn't really happen this week.
Pearson: So now as we look out to the future on feeders we're just going to be keeping an eye on corn. Is that going to be the main determination on price in your opinion?
Brugler: Well, the live cattle price has statistically a stronger correlation but the corn is the other main variable. So if one is moving and the other isn't that will drive the price. We think there's pretty good technical support chart, support in the $133 area. The funds had had a record large long position in feeder cattle, now they're actually back to negative position so we washed out all that selling, that's out of the market now and the market should be a little clean technically speaking and if you get a little break in corn or if the cattle gets some traction here with the grilling weather then I think you could see the feeders go back up.
Pearson: Alright, well let's take a look at hogs. We saw a bit of an increase in hogs. Where do you see the hog market headed?
Brugler: Seasonal tendency would be for hogs to go up into the summer here because we have smaller slaughter numbers, less production, you get the barbeque season going and some other things. Right now we're struggling a little bit because the export market is not doing well. The Census Bureau put out the February data this week, we were down 12%. USDA started a report, weekly pork export sales, first week looked pretty good, 34-35,000 tons, last week was in the teens. So the market -- world market is saying we'd like to pay a little less for your pork and once we get that to happen then the market will go.
Pearson: Alright, good things to keep an eye on. Thank you so much, Alan, for being with us today.
Brugler: My pleasure.
Pearson: That wraps up this edition of Market to Market. But if you'd like more information from Alan on where these markets just may be headed visit the Market Plus page at our website. You'll find expanded market analysis, audio podcasts and streaming video of our program as well as links to our Twitter feed and Facebook account all free at the Market to Market website.

"Appalled and Outraged"
Is Obama getting tougher on Iran?
I will not begin a piece with a pretentious literary quote. Meanwhile, F. Scott Fitzgerald observed that the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposing ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. By this measure, President Obama was first-rate at his press conference Tuesday afternoon. He escalated his rhetoric about the violence in Iran but insisted he hadn't changed his posture. He claimed to be outside the 24-hour news cycle while simultaneously manipulating it.
Obama's supporters will call this performance evidence of an admirably supple mind. His detractors will call it slipperiness.
The president started the press conference with his strongest denunciation of the violence in Iran to date. In his opening remarks, he said the United States was "appalled and outraged" and that "we deplore the violence against innocent civilians." Switching to the first person, he continued, "I strongly condemn these unjust actions, and I join with the American people in mourning each and every innocent life that is lost."
This is the strong stuff the president's critics have been calling for. In the nine days since the government of Iran started cracking down on its people, Obama has been reluctant, arguing that if he meddled, he would become a foil for the authoritarian regime. In response to the beatings and shootings in the street, he said he was "deeply troubled" and "concerned," but no more. This weekend he called on the Iranian authorities to stop the violence, but his language contained no new admonition.
Today, he not only upped his rhetoric, he reacted personally, talking about the "searing image of a woman bleeding to death in the streets," a reference to the so-called Neda video. He called the loss "extraordinarily painful" and "heartbreaking."
In recent days, Obama has quoted the expression Martin Luther King Jr. made popular: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." When he cited this quote during his presidential campaign, he asked voters to put their hand on the arc to help it bend. Until now he has said the United States stood "witness" to the events in Iran. Now he has put his hand on the arc.
Why the change? The president bristled at the mere suggestion that it was a change. Yet his press secretary had gone on the morning news shows to preview Obama's new "stern words," the White House had them translated into Persian, and still the president maintained that he'd said nothing new. "I've been consistent all along," he said. It's true that he reiterated his previous noninterventionist position—he did not challenge the legitimacy of the election or withdraw his offer to engage with Iranian leaders. But the language was new.
Obama laughed at the notion that his critics like John McCain had pushed him into a stronger position. "I just made a statement on Saturday in which we said we deplore the violence," he said. But the president's statement on Saturday contains no such tough language.
The president also answered several health care questions. He made it very clear, as he always has, that he wants Congress to present him with a plan that doesn't increase the deficit. "This is legislation that must and will be paid for," he said. He repeatedly returned to this point, perhaps an acknowledgement of the public's fears about growing deficits.

The Vampire Diaries
Is the Cast of Revenge Sexier Than The Vampire Diaries?
For the lingerie brand's annual What Is Sexy roundup, the Victoria's Secret Angels came together to spill on who and what they think is hot in 2013. Not surprisingly, Vampire Diaries beauty Nina Dobrev nabbed herself the award for Sexiest Style — but a different set of actors walked away with the title of Sexiest TV Cast.
Instead of Nina and her TVDers snatching the coveted crown, the cast of Revenge was named the Sexiest on TV. Now, as much as love the show (and Brit hottie Joshua Bowman), we're starting to think we might need to stage a protest.
Seriously, how did The Vampire Diaries not win this award? Does Revenge have Nina Dobrev's eyes, Paul Wesley's hair, Ian Somerhalder's... everything?? We must admit, we're very disappointed.
Do you think the cast of Revenge is sexier than TVD, or should we send some Originals to go change those Angels' minds.
The cast of Revenge is pretty hot!
TVD was robbed!

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (AP) - Malcolm Brogdon and Joe Harris each scored 16 points as Virginia sent North Carolina to another Atlantic Coast Conference loss, 76-61 Monday night.
The Cavaliers (14-5, 5-1) opened a 15-point lead early in the second half. Justin Anderson had 13 points as Virginia extended its best start in league play since the 1982-83 team also opened 5-1.
Kennedy Meeks scored 15 points and James Michael McAdoo had 11 for North Carolina (11-7, 1-4). The Tar Heels avoided the first 0-4 ACC start in team history by beating Boston College in their last game, but trailed almost throughout against the Cavaliers.

Are Mutts Smarter Than Purebred Dogs?
Among the biggest victims of the economic recession are the once beloved family pets surrendered to shelters as their owners deal with extended joblessness. The U.S. Humane Society estimates 6 to 8 million dogs and cats enter shelters each year – and 3 to 4 million are euthanized.
About Irvin CannonIrvin Cannon was a poor kid growing up in Detroit when his family took in a stray dog. It surprised young Irvin that his father would be willing to share the family's meager groceries with a dog, but he soon discovered the return on their investment was enormous. A former police officer in Detroit and Denver, he also worked as a corrections officer in Arizona.

Biography for
Last Great Senate : Courage and Statesmanship in Times of Crisis
Perseus Publishing
Ira Shapiro
came to Washington in 1975 and spent 12 years working in senior positions in the Senate, playing important roles in accomplishments as diverse as the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the Senate Code of Ethics, and completing the Metrorail system. During the Clinton administration, he served as a leading U.S. trade negotiator, ultimately earning the rank of ambassador. He lives in Potomac, Maryland.
