The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
The prospects of the Senate passing cap-and-trade legislation were already not looking good, and now we have confirmation that the proposal is officially in trouble: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just told reporters that the Senate could push back a climate bill until next year. According to E&E News (sub req), Reid says that the Senate needs to pass health care and financial reforms before tackling climate legislation:
"So, you know, we are going to have a busy, busy time the rest of this year," Reid said. "And, of course, nothing terminates at the end of this year. We still have next year to complete things if we have to."
This isn't exactly surprising, but a week ago Reid was maintaining that the Senate could definitely fit cap-and-trade into its schedule by the end of the year. On September 9, his office sent me the following statement: "Senator Reid fully expects the Senate to have ample time to consider this comprehensive clean energy and climate legislation before the end of the year."
UPDATE: David Corn asks Robert Gibbs at today's White House press briefing if he sees Reid's new position on the bill as a setback. Gibbs insists "we can continue to make progress." But this will make life much harder for the Obama administration when it shows up at UN climate talks in Copenhagen this December without legislation to cut emissions in hand. You can read David's tweets from the briefing, which also covered health care and other matters, here.

We had a great time at the home on Molasses Pond! Steps from the lake, we found ourselves on the water daily just to relax or splashing in the clear/clean water, very gradual depth from the beach. Water was always warmer than expected for spring fed lake water, even at 6:30 in the AM (a chance to read a book in the quiet and have some coffee before the kids get awake!) Awesome scenery and very enjoyable environment to get away and relax. We had next to zero cell service which is what we needed; I wanted the office to leave me alone for the week! I use AT&T but I understand US Cellular has service in that location. House was clean and everything worked as we expected, appliances, lights, TV, everything! Dale was present on the property at times and helpful but not in our way and a great host.. asking if everything was good whenever we saw him. We used the kayaks, paddle-boat, inner tube floats, life jackets, gazebo, gas grille, fire pit (plenty of firewood!), outdoor furniture - all in good order! No noise from surrounding neighbors and no safety concerns. Wish we could stay longer and we will definitely return if given the opportunity!
The vacation was fantastic! We had a big family and our hosts were friendly, helpful, and had the best beach on the lake. There was plenty of room to spread out and enjoy nature. The lake was warm and calm with the boats available to see more. Great fishing, frog catching we even had a resident bald eagle. Close enough to bar harbor and Acadia state park but far enough that it was peaceful. My family already wants to go back! Thanks for such a wonderful place to spend time. We enjoyed every minute. I will be letting everyone know about this place and we look forward to another vacation here!
We had a great vacation in Maine. Molasses Pond is beautiful and the view every morning was gorgeous. The water is crystal clear! Everything you could need is provided, including linens, towels, paper products, coffee, etc. We played on the kayaks (wide variety of life jackets are provided) and spent lazy days on the beach. We cooked on the grill and ate meals in the gazebo. The owners were so friendly and not at all obtrusive. We ventured to Bar Harbor and Acadia several days (about a 45-60 minute trip). We hiked around Molasses Pond and saw moose tracks, and although we didn't see any moose, we saw deer, turkeys and porcupines. Each morning we woke up to beautiful song birds that we had never heard before (we are from Kentucky). We had a wonderful family vacation and the house was all we could have needed. I'd definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a secluded family retreat.
We came to our week-long visit on Molasses Pond in the middle of August, a family of seven, four of whom were teenagers and young adults. The rental is on the 2nd floor, with a deck facing the lake, giving us beautiful views down to the beach and out onto the lake and hills beyond; the space below is used for storage, so we had lots of privacy. The owner, who was so helpful and friendly when we had questions, but very far from obtrusive, lives on his lot next door in another house he had built. There was plenty of room in the 3 bedrooms. All linens and towels were supplied, and our beds were made up when we got there. The kitchen was quite large with a table that could probably accommodate 10, with plenty of cabinets, and equipped with everything you could think of or need. A living room with big-screen tv and a laundry room completed the living quarters. Everything was spotless and new, or close to new, and we were amazed to know that most of the furniture and cabinetry was hand crafted by the owner. The owner has, I believe, the nicest location on this lake, with a large lot that is cleared down to the sandy gravel beach of the lake, and spectacular views. The lake itself is crystal clear, and I thought to myself what a great place for any family with little swimmers, as the slope is so sandy, shallow, and gradual far out into the lake. There are two great kayaks, which we used often to explore the lake or just drift around in the sun and enjoy the peace and beauty of the shoreline, in addition to a paddleboat. The owner keeps plenty of life jackets near the boats, which we used when we paddled out, although the spring fed lake is super calm. Also adjacent to the beach is a great gazebo with large table and comfortable cushioned chairs, built up on a platform, with net curtains that can be dropped if bugs became a problem; we did not need them. A large gas grill was immaculate and used many a night for dinner at lakeside in the gazebo. The owner built a stone ringed fire pit near the beach, and magically a stockpile of quick-burning firewood would appear there whenever we began to use up our supply in our nightly campfires. We made forays into bar harbor and Acadia several days there, but were mostly just happy to hang out on the beach here, and enjoy the peace and beauty of Maine. Add in the sound of the loons in the quiet mornings and nights, shooting stars and toasted marshmallows...paradise in Maine. Thank you Mr. Jordan!
We had the best time. The house was beautiful and Clean on the outside and inside
we used the grill and outside eating a lot The Pond was so clean with lots of Beach sand my toes loved it The Fire Place was used every night just beautiful. WE WENT TO ACIDIA TO SANDY BEACH A MUST IF YOU LOVE THE OCEAN. WE WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR. Thank you Paul for a wonderful place to have our vacation

If you are looking for a great relaxing get-away vacation with clean water and private beach this is the place to be. It's close enough to Mount Desert Island and close to downtown historical Ellsworth (which is a great center). The house is well appointed, spacious, lovely, and the area is rural and private. It has all the conveniences one would want for a vacation get-away which feels like home. Molasses Pond is larger than what I expected and is the size of a lake. My family and I spent time kayaking, swimming, sun bathing, spending time at night at the fire-pit, and watching the loons on this most beautiful setting and it was FABULOUS! We will be talking about our special bonding family experience for a long time due to this special place. By the way, Dale (the owner), provides a couple of kayaks and a paddle boat! How great is that! Dale is most helpful with guiding you with questions you may have on the area and he is super nice, friendly, and a lovely person. This place beats many other cottages and the setting is gorgeous. We had such a great time and I was depressed when our vacation came to an end. Thank you Dale for sharing your adorable place!

The Takeaway
How Hard Will a Government Shutdown Hurt the Economy?
With less than a day before the current stopgap budget bill runs out, President Obama met with Congressional leaders to try to prevent a government shutdown. But politicians are not just worried about the fallout a shutdown could have for their 2012 campaign. There is also a worry about the economic ramifications, which would ripple down from Capital Hill to Wall Street and, ultimately, Main Street.
Takeaway Washington Correspondent Todd Zwillich and Motoko Rich, economics reporter for The New York Times take a look at the extra costs that add up if a shutdown occurs.

Lessons' startMature
Lizard tried to stop crying, it took a couple minutes to finally get himself under control. When he finally did have himself under control he moved back inside the inn. Thad was sitting at the bar drinking very large amounts of ale. Lizard screwed up his courage then moved up to Thad.
"How can you expect me to be an assassin if you don't train me?" he asked quietly.
Thad turned and looked at Lizard; his eyes were still red-rimmed from crying. "You're training begins tomorrow," he stated simply before turning back to his drink.
Lizard could tell he wasn't going to get anything else from Thad...let alone an apology so he went back to his new room to try to get some sleep. When he got to his room he found LouLou there waiting for him. She came up and curled up against him as he laid down. He put his arms around her and clutched her to himself. LouLou nuzzled her head against Lizard's chest and He sighed as he held her closer. It wasn't long before LouLou was asleep again and Lizard marveled at how small she was, and he felt her chest pressing against his as it rose and fell with her breathing. He immersed himself in the in the feeling of her light breath against his chest, and the slow beat of her heart until he too fell asleep.
The next morning Lizard was woken up roughly by Thad shaking him. Light was just starting to peep through the one window near the ceiling of the room. As Lizard blinked awake...he was used to being woken up early so it didn't take long...Thad shoved two small buns into his hands.
"Follow me and eat on you way."
Lizard nodded gently nudged LouLou awake. He handed her one of the buns then motioned for her to follow as he moved after Thad to begin his training. Thad led him to an underground chamber with a desk and charts full of sketches and drawings of the human body. Thad moptioned for Lizard to take a seat and as Lizard sat down with LouLou beside him, Thad moved to one of the charts. "This is the human body boy...you are going to have to memorize where every single organ and blood vessel is. A good assassin knows where to cut to make it the least obvious, yet still deadly; where the least blood will flow from the wound, yet still kill the target."
Lizard nodded and paid attention to each and every comment Thad made...eager to please Thad and trying to make up for his failure lastnight. By the end of the morning Lizard could name and place every organ in the human body and even most of the major blood vessels. Thad, though he didn't let it show, was very amazed at the boys ability to catch on and memorize information.

Besides the LG G Watch and the second smartwatch, LG will release in the first half of this year, the Lifeband Touch wrist band. This device keeps track of your daily fitness activities. Also due for a 1H 2014 release is the LG Heart Rate earphones, which monitor blood flow into a specific part of the ear. These two LG products will communicate with each other, and various Android and iOS devices running fitness apps.
So far, there hasn't been one particular smartwatch that has captured the imagination of a wide number of consumers. Samsung has already introduced a second generation of its smartwatches, although it did move away from Android and employed Tizen on them. Many are waiting to see what Apple has in store with the rumored iWatch. While Apple probably didn't plan on being last to market with such a device, delays have now given the Cupertino based tech titan the luxury of waiting to see what aspects of a smartwatch are being accepted by the public, and which functions are being ignored.
Thanks for the tip!

Penn State will honor Joe Paterno before its home game against Temple this season, according to a press release about the season's promotional schedule.
On the September 17th game against the Owls at Beaver Stadium, Penn State will hold an pregame ceremony "[c]ommemorating the 50th anniversary of Coach Paterno's first game as Penn State head coach," per the release. Per Onward State, which first reported the news, Penn State has not had any in-stadium mention of Paterno since his last game on October 29th, 2011 (besides his appearance in a few "hype" videos).
Paterno was fired in the aftermath of the Penn State child sex abuse scandal, and died on January 22nd, 2012. His former assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky, was convicted of 45 counts of sexual abuse in June 2012. Read more »

Just expressing myself with words
I won't surrender, I don't mind regrets.
Through the tough times, I'll turn out the best.
Trying to find some peace, but my mind's a mess.
Running out of room, for stitches on my broken heart.
All of the blood that spills, I like to call that art.
Making the best of the worst, trying to find why it doesn't hurt.
Because I know very well that it should.
I've grown to be immune to pain, after all that I've been through.
It might look like a movie, but this right here is true.
I keep my head high, and my shoulders strong.
For these are the shoulders, that the world rests on.
To a cold life, I've fallen victim.
As a young man, I must carry on.
I have an option, and I decide to be strong.
I appreciate my life, as fucked up as it is.
I will make my point, by proving
It isn't ever time
To give in

An awesome job was done by Course Designer Steve Hendrix to create a perfect quick kickoff to the 2015 season. Since we never know what the weather might bring to mid-March, and we're all a little paunchy from being stuck inside more than we wanted to, the idea was to construct 3 short courses with limited navigational dilemma, which would keep participants moving and warm, and that could be run consecutively. All in the name of helping us shake the rust off. Steve executed this immaculately. (This early season format was so successful; we will certainly be using it again.)

At 11 years old, Brit painter Kieron Williamson has already made roughly $2.5 million selling his work. (Well, parents Michelle and Keith handle the transactions. Kieron's just responsible for creating the art.) He's been called the "Mini Monet," since his work resembles that of the great impressionist. In fact, Kieron's pieces are of such a high standard, it's almost impossible to tell them apart from priceless masterpieces—click on to see how they compare.

When first hearing about the documentary showcasing the life of the international artist Ai Weiwei, the only thing that came to mind was sunflower seeds. That's because he had an exhibit in the TATE Modern located in London in 2010 with over 100 million hand painted porcelain seeds. Small porcelain beads, essentially, that have been hand painted by himself and his large team of helpers to look identical to sunflower seeds. The exhibit lay on the floor of the hall in London and Weiwei encouraged patrons to walk on them, sit on them, touch them, just don't steal them. It was quite an amazing feat, and what's better is that it had a powerful message, as does all his work.
The documentary follows Ai as he works on different pieces and also as an activist for the human rights of citizens of Beijing. He is outspoken, uncensored, expressive and caring for the people of his country. Through the documentary, it becomes fatally clear that Ai would give his life for the freedoms of his country. In case you are unaware, Beijing is a communist state and therefore can imprison you for publishing something against the government on your online blog.
Throughout the film, Ai organizes a small army of sorts that all want to help him make a difference. Sometimes a team of people would help him investigate the deaths of thousands of children from an unfortunate earthquake. They discovered that because of the shoddy materials the schools were made of, many more children died that didn't have to. He also worked with people to try and free others like him from being imprisoned. The running plot through the film is when he attempts to testify at a hearing of another activist in order to keep him from going to prison and the police force of that town barricade him in his hotel room and beat him in the skull so badly he needs surgery. It is at this point that you realize you are watching something real, something earth-shaking. It becomes immediately clear that this is not a film for art nerds, it's a film for everyone. Anyone who ever valued their own freedom or thought others were attempting to take it away needs to watch this film. As an American, it is eye-opening to see just how free we are.
He has been compared to Beijing's Andy Warhol, but I think he's closer to today's artist Banksy. Although Ai is not in hiding, like Banksy. In fact, he points out the many security cameras that have been put up by the state to watch his every move. That is part of the reason he takes to Twitter to get his message out. Here in the states we complain about the media coverage being so biased and blatantly ignoring the real stories out there for fear of stock loss. But in Beijing, Ai was working on posting the names of every child that was killed in the tragic earthquake because the government wanted to keep the tally of deaths secret. Once he did post on line, a few hours later, his site was taken offline by the government. He had no say in the matter at all. So, going on Twitter was a way to bypass any Chinese laws and use an international platform for his voice to be heard.
As much as this film covers, which is a lot, I feel that one of the most important freedoms that we take for granted everyday is the largest triumph in this film. Being able to have freedom of speech online to speak to others about the truths going on in his country is a huge leap forward for the people of communist China. Ai documents his life from the modern art exhibits he opens around the world to photos of the cops beating him in his hotel room to the recovery in the hospital. The loudest message to come out the film, for me, was how important Twitter has become in this day and age. Anyone in the world that can get access to a phone with internet can voice their opinion and document real news in real time. It has often been proven as a much more reliable and much faster source for news around the world. Where we used to sit down and watch the five o'clock news and thought it was "breaking" is now just lame and out of date.
The hopes that come from this film are that as social media grows, we do not become more closed off and isolated from each other, but rather, use this form to embrace each other worldwide. Social media tools like Twitter will hopefully help to bring down corrupt governments and free citizens all over the world of rulers attempting to dominate with an outdated idea. Seek out this film, it is eye-opening and very humbling.
I give Ai Weiwei 4 "neolithic pots" out of 5

Elderly man dies in collision with car on Texas 46 By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer An elderly man walking across Texas 46 was killed Monday when he was struck by a car one quarter of a mile east of the county road department. Donald Paul Guenther, 74, of4671 Texas 46 West, was pronounced dead at the scene by Justice of the Peace Howard Smith. The accident occurred about 6:15 p.m. Guenther was walking toward his property when a Honda Accord sedan, driven by Michael David Tschoepe, 44, hit him, Department of Public Safety trooper Randy Wells said. "He had just gotten his mail," Wells said. "He was slowly walking the highway. (Tschoepe) was traveling westbound when he struck him in the middle of the road. "The point of impact was 243 feet from where the body was laid to rest. He was killed instantly." The Honda Accord had its front window smashed and blood was on the driver's door window. Wells said Guenther had a history of medical conditions and had undergone hip replacement surgery. Tschoepe was taken to McKenna Memorial Hospital were he was treated and released. Traffic on Texas 46 was halted in both directions for one and a half mile as emergency personnel from both the New Braunfels EMS and Fire Department worked at the scene. '.r:- • mm* Bulverde area hit by flood After running to higher ground, residents now clean up damage By DAVID DEKUNDER Staff Writer_ BULVERDE — Rushing waters early Monday morning flooded homes in the Oak Village North subdivision, caused damage near the Bulverde Air Park and closed most of Farm-to-Market-Road 1863. Stunned residents of the Oak North subdivision, off FM 1863, were busy Monday afternoon trying to clean up from the flood's havoc. "I have never seen anything like it in my life," Nancy Demel said as she was mopping out her garage, which, a few hours earlier, had been full of water. "The whole house was surrounded by water." The Demel residence was one of five homes on Circle Oak Drive that sustained water damage. Most of the residents flooded out were within the drainage zone of Lewis Creek, which runs through the subdivision and is a tributary of Cibolo Creek. Demel said she and her husband Jim had to flee their home in kneedeep water and wait on the road. "There was about a foot-and-a-half of water on the road," she said. "I heard it thunder and lightning. It came up to the patio door and almost up to the windows. We tried to stack the furniture. Our next-door neighbor told us to get out." The storm system that caused the havoc pounded 3.55 inches of rain on the Bulverde area, Nezette Rydell of the National Weather Service said. The storm hit the Bulverde between I and 2 a.m. Demel said water in her house damaged her car in the garage and her carpet. "I opened my car, and it got wet clear across the seats," Demel said. "I had friends tear the carpet out and suck out all the water." Across the street from the Demels, another family was flooded out of its home. Workmen from the GerlotY Co. were busily cleaning out the house and pumping water out with hoses as valuables, toys, books, hats and assorted items were laid out across ♦ Herald-Zeitung photos by Michael Darnall Rum Boorman and Alana Bania gat out of their car at Camp Huaco Springs Campground on tho Guadalupa River Monday morning at around 5 a.m. The river crested while the couple was sleeping.

It pushed the door out and bent it. We tried to close it but we couldn't." The resident said five years ago during another flood, water came near the back of his porch, but he said this flood came without warning. "The water came up within half an hour," he said. "We lost a lot of stuff." He said there were about 30 inches of water in his home. There were reports that a few cars from one residence on Circle Oak Drive were washed away in the rushing waters of the creek bed. The Demel's next door neighbors, Ken and Barbara Britton, had an early morning wake-up call when the flood waters rushed into their house. "Somebody woke us up at about 2 a.m. this morning banging on the wall," Ken said.

The National Weather Service estimated that 3 inches of rain fell on the western section of the county in a period of less than four hours. County officials said damage from the flood was concentrated in the Oak Hills Village North, Oak North and Bulverde areas. "There was some water in houses and a lot of fences were tom down in the creek beds," said Milton Willmann, county fire marshal. Willmann said he knew of no injuries because of the flooding, but his department's swift water rescue team performed a rescue from a stalled vehicle at Texas 46 and Brand Road.

Comal 1SD planning committee meets today By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer The committee dedicated to helping Comal Independent School District to address skyrocketing growth meets Tuesday to finalize a recommendation for the board. Long Range Planning Committee chairman Caesar Ponce said the group is developing a recommendation for the CISD board of trustees. At a meeting last month, the committee looked at two plans to handle the influx of students and reached a consensus on which plan it favored, Ponce said. The committee opted for the plan that would eliminate intermediate campuses, breaking campuses into elementary, middle and high schools levels. The plan called for eight major building additions and three new schools, including two elementary schools for pre-K through sixth-grade at a capacity of800 and one high school for ninth- through 12th-grade at a capacity of 1,500. Goodwin Primary would be converted to an alternative school. The projected cost for the plan was $48.9 million, including $9.9 in expansions. This does not include the cost to renovate Goodwin Primary or to acquire land. "It's good for everyone in the district, and it looks to where the district needs to be going," Ponce said. "The next step was to discuss cost and maybe phasing of the project." Committee members said they wanted to get a firm handle on the cost projections before it took any recommendation to the board or the constituents, Ponce explained. The committee could complete that task at Tuesday's meeting, he said, and if not, it would only have a little further to go. "If we're able to finalize the recommendation to take to the board, this will be our last meeting," he said. The committee meets at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the cafeteria of Mountain Valley Elementary School, 1165 Sattler Road. The meeting is open to the public. Council appoints lighting board By ABE LEVY Staff Writer New Braunfels City Council approved a plan Monday to form a committee to oversee a proposed holiday lighting project in Cypress Bend Park. The committee's chair will be Anna Lee Hicks, who has been instrumental in studying the project for the city, said Mayor Jan Kenedy. City staff members already have sent out a request for bids to build the lighting displays in the park. The city will consider leasing or buying the Turn to Council, Page 3 Sheriff, administrator espouse need for jail expansion By DENISE DZIUK Staff Writer Comal County needs to start thinking now about the future size of its jail, according to advice the jail administrator and sheriff are giving county commissioners. Comal County Jail Administrator Jim Middleton said the current capacity of the jail is 145. As of Monday morning, the inmate count was at 119. Although the local jail holds individuals for immigration purposes and for other agencies, most are local inmates, he said. "The number of inmates fluctuates, but it's mainly people from our county," Middleton said. Middleton was scheduled to discuss the issue with commissioners in court Thursday, but the item was taken off the agenda because of a prior commitment. A date to discuss the issue with the full court has not been set. However, Sheriff Bob Holder said he and Middleton will meet with commissioners individually in the mean time to discuss present conditions and projected numbers. "I'm going to explain to them where we're at and where we're going," Middleton said. Holder said the need for an expanded jail does not mean crime in the county is up. In fact, the numbers are down, he added. The current jail space was built IO years ago. Since that time, Holder said, the county has experienced tremendous growth and continues to increase, "ami as a result this is not going to meet the needs of the county in the future." "What we're trying to do is devise a plan for the Turn to Jan, Page 3Public access channel good news for city residents. See Page 4. ;

Right, first up is everything I've been buying over the past few weeks... I got my student loan in a while ago and after paying off all my rent and bills I decided to do a bit of retail therapy. All necessary purchases though. (Kinda).
Oh and by the way, those JC look-a-like heels you can see only cost me a fiver. Suck it.
The following pictures are from my main gal's Birthday which was way back in March! We had a lovely lunch in one of my favourite places, The Belle Isle, which happens to be just round the corner from our house. I had a fish finger sandwich, washed down with an extremely over priced mint chocolate martini. Classy, I know. Then after a lazy afternoon we hit the cheesiest night club in town for lots of drinking, dancing, and general good times.

Chicago Mercantile Exchange live cattle futures turned up sharply on Thursday in anticipation of steady-to-better prices for market-ready or cash cattle this week, traders said.
Futures drew more support from their discounts to last week's cash cattle returns.
August live cattle, which will expire on Friday, ended up 1.450 cent per lb at 154.650, and October at 150.100, 2.275 cents higher.
The CME live cattle October contract, which will assume lead-month duties following August's expiration, led advances after punching through the 20-day moving average of 149.72 cents.
So far, cash cattle bids surfaced in the U.S. Plains at $151 to $152 per hundredweight (cwt) against $156 asking prices from sellers, feedlot sources said.
Last week, cash cattle in Kansas and Nebraska moved at mostly $153 to $155 per cwt.
The rise in futures on Thursday and some packers in need of supplies may override sluggish wholesale beef values and processors buying for a holiday-shortened workweek, traders said.
On Thursday morning, the choice wholesale beef price, or cutout, slipped 34 cents per cwt from Wednesday to $247.07. Select fell $2.02 to $235.58.
Investors will monitor beef cutout values for signs of a seasonal downtrend as shoppers transition from outdoor cookouts to preparing meals indoors.
CME feeder cattle gained for a sixth straight session in light volume, fueled by fund buying and live cattle market gains.
August, which expired at noon CDT (1700 GMT), settled up 0.375 cent per lb at 218.525 cents. September , the new spot month, closed 2.675 cents higher at 217.150 cents.
Hogs finish weak
CME hogs posted a loss for the first time in four days, pressured by profit-taking following the downward slide in cash and wholesale pork prices, traders said.
October closed 0.450 cent per lb lower at 95.475 cents, and December down 0.125 cent to 90.375 cents.
USDA's Thursday morning direct hog market prices were unavailable. Midwest hog dealers said prices in the region were 50 cents to $1 per cwt lower.
The morning's wholesale pork price dipped 21 cents per cwt from Wednesday to $99.97, USDA said.
More hogs came to market as producers tried to avoid falling prices, traders and analysts said. Packers will need less livestock with plants scheduled to be closed on Monday for the Labor Day holiday, they said.
Meanwhile, grocers are cautious about buying large amounts of pork until they can evaluate how much product moved over the three-day holiday weekend.
Speculation that packers may need supplies after Labor Day, and futures' discounts to the exchange's hog index at 100.34 cents, minimized Thursday's market losses, a trader said.

text: EVAL - Williams is an explosive player that rarely leaves the field. He runs with a chip on his shoulder when he totes the rock on offense, but he also has great hips and plays with ferocity on defense which helped him gain post-season accolades on both sides of the ball as junior. He is an effective weapon on the offensive side of the ball, but his ceiling may actually be higher as a defensive back.

A/N: My first Gravi fic! It's a YukiShu and TohSugu for the moment. If you don't enjoy incest, sorry. But where I come from, cousins can marry.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gravitation.
Chapter One: Vacation With You!
It was usual mayhem at NG Records. Sakano was whirling around, panicking and freaking out. K was shooting randomly at the ceiling, not minding who he killed on the upper floor. Hiro just grinned and tested his guitar as if it was the most normal thing in the world. Shuichi was again, daydreaming about Yuki and what they would do when he got home. It was then Shuichi noticed Suguru surrounded by a glum aura.
"Fujisaki, is something wrong? You're not being as productive as you usually are," Shuichi asked. Suguru just sighed and turned away from Shuichi, moping. Shuichi mused for a while. "Ah, I understand! You're-in-Love!" Shuichi teased but Suguru stiffened at the mere mention.
"Looks like you're right this time, Shuichi. Do you feel like sharing with us?" Hiro patted the teenager. Suguru murmured a 'No' and slumped down over the table. Shuichi watched Suguru closely. "Fujisaki, come with me. I need to talk to you." Without waiting for a reply, Shuichi dragged Suguru out of the studio and rushed to the elevator. Suguru blinked as the sunlight blinded his eyes momentarily. "…Shindou-san, why did you bring me here?"
Shuichi spun around, arms outstretched and smiled. The light breeze brushed through his hair. "Fujisaki, isn't the wind nice up here? I thought it might make you lighten up a bit. You know, if it's about love, I might be able to help. After all, I'm married to one of the world's biggest bastard who's just having problems expressing his emotions," Shuichi said with a tiny chuckle at the thought. Somewhere else, Yuki Eiri sneezed.
Suguru hesitated for a while. But…it DID concern Shuichi in a way, and he is quite correct. Who better to ask advice from than someone who's gone through the worst and…maybe knows how to deal with it? "Shindou-san…I'm sixteen. And I'm getting those dreams…And the person in it is not who I quite expected…" Suguru started with a light blush. Shuichi stared at him with an incredulous look and started laughing. "Fujisaki-chan has raging hormones now! Who used to say I indulge in my hormones?" Shuichi said in a sing-song voice. Suguru blushed harder.
"Shindou-san, you're supposed to help me!"
Shuichi cleared his throat. "I mean, I'm sorry. So, who's the lucky girl who's got your attention?" "U-Um…It's a guy…" Suguru mumbled, feeling his face grow hot. "What! Wow, then you should have spoke up sooner! You know I'm the one to talk to! So, who is it?" Shuichi asked.
Suguru muttered one word and looked away. The embarrassment will give him jitter-induced insomnia soon, he knew it! "Huh? Didn't quite catch you there," Shuichi replied.
Silence prevailed for thirty seconds as a random pigeon flew over their heads. "You what! Omigod! No wonder you refused to tell us! I understand how you feel!" Shuichi declared. "You do?" Suguru asked, genuinely surprised. "Yes, you need a vacation! And during that period I shall teach you how to capture Seguchi-san's heart! It'll be hundred percent foolproof, I assure you!" Shuichi stated.
Suguru paled. "A vacation with you! No, you're crazy! What do you mean by teaching me how to…"
He never finished his sentence. Someone suddenly grabbed him from the back and he was lifted into the air. "K-san! What are you doing! When did you get a helicopter!" K grinned. "Shuichi has spoken! Now let's get going!" Suguru could see Hiro haul Shuichi into the helicopter as he got tossed in as well. "Where are we going! How come I didn't know you planned this?" Shuichi asked in true shock. Okay, so Shuichi was not the mastermind behind this. He wasn't that smart anyway.
"I have you bugged. As soon as we heard your suggestion, we decided to hop into action!" This female voice could only belong to one person… "No! Not you! A vacation with anyone but you!" Shuichi screamed horror as he saw Rage at the cockpit manoeuvring the helicopter. "Let's go! Bill is waiting with my Panda!"
Tohma was frowning slightly. Sakano was late with his monthly report about Bad Luck's progress. Sakano, bumbling and silly he may be, was never late. Just then, Sakano came in with a bleeding head. Tohma supposed it was K's work. "S-Shacho, K-san has kidnapped Bad Luck with the crazy girl manager called Rage!" Sakano reported, panicked. Tohma perked up lightly at the mention. "What is he trying to do this time?" Tohma asked.
"He said something about parting Shindou-san from Yuki-san and forcing Fujisaki-kun into something before he shot me," Sakano replied. Tohma twitched. The next moment, Sakano was holding Tohma back while dialling the emergency number, in other words, Yuki Eiri. Yuki was working on his latest novel when his phone rang. Expecting Shuichi, he was surprised to hear Sakano.
"What do you want?"
"Please come to NG Records immediately! Shacho is losing control!" Sakano pleaded. "And that has something to do with me because?" Yuki asked. "K-san's kidnapped Shindou-san and he's with the crazy manager Rage! He'll be living sacrifice!" Sakano yelled, starting to lose control. The phone went dead straight away.
"Yuki-san? Yuki-san?"
In half an hour, Yuki was already in Tohma's office. Tohma calmed down at the sight of Yuki, but it was Yuki who started to lose control. "Eiri-san, we're going to rescue them!" Tohma suddenly declared. Sakano had to get an extinguisher to put out all the flames behind his shacho. "Do you have any idea where they are?" Yuki asked flatly.
"Fufufufu…you underestimate me, Eiri-san. I always keep track of my adorable Suguru-chan! Don't worry; your beloved cousin will come to your rescue!" Tohma exclaimed. Yuki stared as if Tohma got another head. "…Hey, looks like you and I are the most normal characters in the fic," Yuki commented. Sakano just sobbed loudly.
"…Forget what I said."
Shuichi was running around in circles in the panda robot. "Where are you taking us! I haven't even said goodbye to Yuki yet! We haven't even got our clothes!" Rage chuckled evilly. "You're a superstar! You can pay for anything you need once we land! Even better, make some beautifully sexy and irresistibly adorable faces to the shopkeepers to give it to you for free!"
"We ain't gonna give out free lust-inducing looks to closet perverts out there!" K yelled. "The only reason I'm working with you now Claude is because your wife promised me a mansion with beautiful boys to serve my every need!" Rage answered huffily. "Then what's our next move on schedule?" Hiro asked, strangely unperturbed by all the irregularities around him. "Hiro, you've been infected with the K disease!" Shuichi yelled, horrified that his best friend wasn't reacting towards the weird things happening around them.
"We'll be landing in America soon and…Wait a minute, we've got pursuers!" Bill announced. A jet was right behind the panda and someone climbed out from the top hatch. It was Tohma. "K-san, I demand you to return Bad Luck to NG Records immediately! Surrender before we hit you!" Tohma announced through a loudspeaker. "Your artists need to get away from slave drivers like you for some time!" K yelled back.
"…Isn't he a slave driver himself?" Shuichi wondered aloud. His bandmates nodded.
Then another blonde came out. "Oh, Yuki's come to save me!" Shuichi shouted in joy, eyes sparkling. Until he noticed the bazooka in his lover's hand. "…Don't tell me…" From a distance, he looked at Yuki crouch, take aim and…
"Everyone, duck!"
Shuichi got to cover just as the shot hit the panda. Rage giggled evilly. "Poor Shuichi, your lover knew full well you are on board and still tried to shoot us down…And he's cheating on you with your boss, to add salt to the wound." That sentence hit two nerves. Two very sensitive nerves. K was pushed back down into the panda as Shuichi and Suguru surfaced, looking very mad, both carrying bazookas and missile launchers.
"Tohma you bastard!" Shuichi yelled firing the bazooka, as Suguru aimed with the missile launcher, "Eiri-san, you're going down!" Both fired at the jet. K whistled. "Seems like they've caught on the Rage disease to me." "Claude, I'm dropping you now! Lose them in the crowd below!" Rage stated, activating the trapdoor. Thus the load was dropped…from a hundred feet in the air.
"AAAAGGGGHHHH, WE'RE GONNA DIE!" Suguru screamed. To his amazement, they lived…by landing on a large Kumagoro balloon figure. K grinned. "Great, this is just the place they won't find you! Get into these costumes now!" Tohma and Yuki landed looking around for Shuichi and Suguru. Their jet already exploded from the attack. "I hate bloody conventions. It makes all the searching tougher," Yuki grumbled. "Worse still, it's a cosplay convention. They might be in disguises," Tohma mused.
Unwittingly, they walked past a group of cosplayers dressed as half animals. K grinned as he watched Tohma and Yuki walk further away. "…K-san, why did you dress me up as a cat? I'll never live down the shame if Seguchi-san saw me like this," Suguru mumbled. He had cat ears, a long tail and furry paws, not to mention the skin tight shirt only reached mid-riff. He was only in ultra SHORT shorts, for Bad Luck's sake! "You look cute that way. Besides, you remind me of the main character in Loveless," K replied cheerfully.
"Then…why the sheep outfit?" Shuichi sniffed. He was being surrounded by many drooling men now. K shot them all down and pulled Shuichi close. "Rage gave me the outfit, don't complain," K answered as he shot three more random people. Shuichi had a chute headgear with tiny horns. He wore little hoof pads on his hands and feet. The rest of his outfit was similar to Suguru, just that his was white and fleecy. "Right, then I must look like a dog," Hiro mumbled. "Nope, just wanted to dress you up as Inuyasha!" K stated.
"There they are!" Tohma yelled. "Oh, must've heard my gunshots. Oh well!" K threw down a smoke bomb and secured the band into a random taxi, throwing the driver out. He sped away, leaving Tohma with an extremely insincere smile it made even Yuki tremble.
"All right, K-san. If it's a war you want, it's a war you'll get."
A/N: How was it? About the cosplay part, Suguru was cosplaying as Ritsuka from Loveless, Shuichi no one in particular and Hiro as Inuyasha! If you don't know, Bill and Rage are from the manga. Bill serves Rage who's position is similar to Sakano but they're from different companies. Rage works at XMR at America.Please review!

Asserting a controversial opinion, Michael McQuarrie takes a fresh look at the state of community development by comparing it to the slums in Mumbai. These vibrant and economically active slums make him wonder: have we created a dependent poor?
Amsterdam has earned a global reputation as an enlightened city with a high quality of life. Well what if the price for that quality of life was that your bothersome neighbors were forcibly relocated to "scum villages" on the outskirts of town?

As London redevelops its troubled East End ahead of the 2012 Summer Olympics, organizers are warning against the post-event developments turning into ghettos of the middle class.

Crippling violence and dangerous streets in the Rose Town area of Kingston, Jamaica, have motivated Prince Charles to bring his Foundation for Architecture and Urbanism to the island ghetto to attempt a rebirth.

"Slum tourism" is on the rise in developing countries around the world. Some say the tours help the affluent understand the dire situations faced by the world's poor, but others say it's just a way to help Westerners feel good about themselves.

This week I started my probably final year of uni. 'Probably' because I said that last year aswell, and here I am, still at uni, doing a second Master in Horticulture, oh well. I really want to learn more about vegetables and fruit cultivation, so it seemed the best option to just do this extra year now, instead of doing it in 10 years or having regret for not doing it at all.
Anyway, yesterday was our first school trip. We visited a company that refines seeds and it was a very interesting day. I don't plan on rambling about everything I saw and learned, but I just wanted to share some pictures with you.
As a real fruit and vegetable addict, I'm a little embarrassed to say that from most vegetables I only know what they look like when they are at the greengrocer. Of some vegetables, I just have no idea how they grow on the plant. For that reason I made a picture of each vegetable I encountered, as still growing on the plant.
Probably not something you've all been waiting for to see here in the blogosphere, but I thought it might be quite interesting (okay, or maybe just a little? No?). You can't stop me though ...
|Green Romanesco cauliflower
|Purple turnip cabbage
|Curly lettuce
|Radicchio Rosso
|Red beet (beetroot)
|White cabbage (giant footballs!)
|Red cabbage
|Savoy cabbage
|Pointed cabbage
|Brussels sprouts (how cute are these!)
|Sweet peppers
This were all vegetables I could spot, the edible ones anyway. They even had fountains in the form of a cabbage and carrots. Quite extraordinary if you ask me.
In the afternoon we got a free lunch and for dessert we got this icecream with red cabbage and apple flavour. It tasted quite special (and looked purple), but it was actually very good!

A HIT video has captured the moment a toddler came face-to-face with a
Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Two-and-a-half year old Zack stands stunned as he spies the animatronic
dinosaur at a theme park in Texas, USA.
The brainy dino fan informs his mum that the creature stood just 50ft away is
a T-Rex.
But when the giant robot roars at them, Zack sensibly decides to make a dash
for it.
The hilarious footage sees the toddler disappear into the distance shouting:
"Run, run."
The 52-second clip which has been seen more than half a million
times on YouTube ends with his parents fruitlessly calling for
him to come back.

New contemporary timber tapware by Melbourne based Oliver Maclatchy of Wood Melbourne. Pictured above – 'Isla' handmade reclaimed timber bath spout. Styling – Stephanie Stamatis, Photo – Tara Pearce.

Wood Melbourne is a new project from self confessed 'carpenter, builder, tinkerer and inventor' Oliver MacLatchy. During a late night tinkering session in his timber workshop last year, Oliver invented these beautiful, functional handcrafted timber water spouts. It was, as they say, a 'lightbulb moment' !
Oliver has worked as a carpenter for 16 years. The first 10 of those years were spent working with his fathers' company, building rooftop apartments in the Melbourne CBD and surrounds. Over the past 6 years, Oliver has worked for himself on various smaller scale residential projects, including two shopfront dwellings in Melbourne's inner north. It was one of these recent projects which first inspired his designs for timber tapware.
'In the last shopfront I did, I was using timber I had reclaimed from the original roof on the shop, and that's where the idea for the spouts came about' explains Oliver. 'I did some research and realised no one was making anything like it, so I went for it!'.
Wood Melbourne officially launched in February this year. At this stage, Oliver's range includes just two spout designs, each handmade using reclaimed blackbutt timber in Oliver's Melbourne workshop. As each piece is made by hand, they can be customised to almost any size. 'I really just make things and refine them until I love them, so my main influence is the timber' says Oliver. 'It's about having something that's very basic and simple but beautiful'.
Oliver is currently working on two other designs for bathroom fittings that he's in the process of registering. Two are timber products which should be ready for release around May, the other two are top secret concepts in development, but he assures us we'll be amongst the first to know! He has plans to open his own show room in West Brunswick in May / June, but in the meantime, his first two spout designs are available to buy in his online shop!

VanGorder noted that the Tigers had a good practice on Friday as they worked out in shorts, shoulder pads and helmets.
"I really enjoyed the design of it in terms of the different situations we were giving the guys learning how to play situational football, which is really, really critical," the defensive coordinator said. "I think within the fundamentals of the game we are seeing some improvements. There were a lot of good things about this morning."
Asked what he wants to see during the scrimmage that will take place Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium, VanGorder said, "I think the two areas right now we have got to concentrate on are the mental errors--cut down mental errors throughout positions.
"Then, what is directly tied into that, is we can't give up explosive plays," he added. "I would like to see that not happen in this scrimmage. That is very, very important."
Offensive coordinator Loeffler noted he will be looking to see how tough his guys are in Saturday's scrimmage. "We are going to try to go out there try to establish toughness as a mentality," he said. "Brian is going to try to stop the run and we are going to try to run the ball. We will see where we are at. It will be a great evaluation to see where we are at after 10 days."
Loeffler added that he will be watching to see how the offense functions with the coaches on the sidelines instead of in the middle of the action giving instructions.
The offensive coordinator said that looking at the big picture at this point in spring practice that he is happy with the progress.
"We need to continue with our fundamental work, we need to continue with our technique, but generally speaking the guys are picking up the system quite well," Loeffler said. "We just need to really, really focus in these last four or five days on working on our fundamentals and improving our technique."
With Jawara White having to give up football due to a medical issue, senior Ashton Richardson is now getting work at middle linebacker in addition to outside linebacker. Chris Landrum, who will be a redshirt freshman this fall, is running a distant number two on the depth chart behind junior Jake Holland.
"We will let those two kind of compete for that backup role right now," VanGorder said. "It is pretty clearcut that Jake is the starter."
Brian VanGorder is in his first season as an Auburn coach.
Landrum, who is from small school power Sweet Water High School, missed last fall's practices recovering from knee surgery. Commenting on Landrum, VanGorder said, "He carries a real good attitude into everything. He is a high-character guy who is in that process...he has got a lot of football to learn.
"The speed of the game is on him so he is not ready to respond like you want him to be able to respond right now," the coach added. "He is a hard worker and it is important to him, but there is a lot of work ahead to get him to where he can really play in an SEC game."
Ashton Richardson
VanGorder said it is a challenge for Richardson having to learn two positions, but said so far the former walk-on has had a "pretty good" spring learning his assignments. "He is bright and he is another guy that it is important to him. That is the way we have to move right now and hope he can handle it."
The defensive coordinator said one of the things he liked about Friday's practice was that the Tigers took a step forward with their communication. "It was much better," he said.
Loeffler, who doubles as quarterback coach, said he was pleased to have junior Clint Moseley be able to do the complete practice on Friday. The returning starter has been limited for more than a week with a sore throwing shoulder.
"It is good to have him back out there," the coach said. "Just like any football player, any time you are missing reps it is tough."
Scot Loeffler
Asked if the sore shoulder has put Moseley behind in the competition to be the No. 1 quarterback, Loeffler said, "There isn't any (competition) right now. What we are trying to do right now is focus on everyday improving...To say that he is behind the competition, I would say absolutely not."
Kiehl Frazier, who will be a true sophomore this fall, has taken many of the No. 1 reps this spring. The only other scholarship quarterback on the roster this spring is early high school graduate Zeke Pike.
Loeffler said that Pike is underdoing "a major adjustment," but added, "I am happy where he is at."
"He is learning the ropes. It is great to have him here kind of getting through his freshman adjustment period now rather than in August and September," the coach said.
In other news and notes:
*Commenting on the running backs, Loeffler said that he is encouraged by what he has seen this spring. "Generally speaking, they are a talented group--fast, powerful, they are learning protections."
*With starter Philip Lutzenkirchen rehabbing from shoulder surgery, Brandon Fulse and C.J. Uzomah are getting plenty of reps at tight end. "Of course, we would love to have Lutz for spring, but I always look at that as a little bit of a blessing in disguise because we are able to develop those young guys who are getting all the reps," Loeffler said. "They are developing. Every day there is something new they need to learn. Every day they are making a step in the right direction trying to improve and doing everything in their power to help Auburn."
The tight ends were a major part of the Temple offense last spring. How big a part they will be at Auburn this fall is still to be determined, Loeffler said.
*Loeffler noted that he likes what he is seeing from the offensive line as a group. "They are young and talented, which is very exciting and very encouraging," he said. "They are working every day to have that demeanor and toughness that has been established at Auburn for many, many years."

5. Scarlett Kidd - LateMature
Scarlett Kidd
I was aware I was late getting to sleep. Lucas wouldn't be happy; I didn't like it when Lucas wasn't happy. He got vicious and possessive. He would understood when I explained though, wouldn't he? He'd accept I was tutoring a friend for the last essay to be handed in, right?
Eventually I drifted into sleep and into Dreamland.
* * * * *
The clear night sky was illuminated by the bright stars - like piercings in velvet letting through small shards of light. I was heading towards the pub where I usually had to meet Lucas. To try and sweeten him up a bit due to me being half an hour late, I wore the short, strapless, silk, deep emerald green dress he seemed so fond of. Over the top to protect me from the harsh bite of the wind, I wore my long thin cardigan. My stuff was carried in a small, brown, leather bag with a long strap and I had some small heels on.
If what I was wearing and my story didn't convince him, I'd be in trouble.
I opened the door to the pub and made my way to our seats at the bar. He turned before I reached him and he looked angry. Before either of us said anything, he looked me up and down and seemed to cheer up.
"I'm sorry I'm late." I started. "I was tutoring a friend for the final essay that needs to be handed in next week and we ran over time a little."
His piercing grey eyes stared right into mine, seemingly searching for the answer to whether I was lying or not. He decided I was telling the truth and pushed a glass of coke towards me. I nodded in gratitude and he took more meaning than was meant, putting his arm around my waist. I tried to move away, but his grip was fierce and pinching when I resisted - I had no choice.
I simply had to await the horrors of this night and hope they got no worse than usual. Then again, he was being more forceful tonight. Was this a bad sign?
