Lost amid the move this week to reassign 22 New Orleans police officers to the streets from places such as Municipal Court and administrative jobs at the Police Department was this: The "trailer trash" cops are back in the game.
Relegated for two years to former NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas' doghouse — a FEMA trailer parked by the old horse stables in City Park — a handful of veteran captains and one major were quietly reassigned this month to new "field supervisor" posts.
The move was prompted by their successful challenge before the Civil Service Commission of job duties that left the high-ranking police brass reviewing mostly low-level allegations against fellow officers.
They argued that the work was menial and unbecoming for officers who once commanded police districts and other key NOPD sections. Civil Service agreed, and in October, the commission ordered new Police Superintendent Michael Harrison to either demote them, lay them off or find them jobs worthy of their stripes.
The first two options came with legal perils, so in a Nov. 26 letter to Civil Service Director Lisa Hudson, Harrison said he was creating the field supervisor positions and assigning the veteran police brass to fill in on late-night supervision of "major incidents, critical investigations and media inquiries."
Capt. Michael Glasser, one of the "trailer trash" and also president of the Police Association of New Orleans, said he and his colleagues are now responding to crime scenes citywide in their new gigs.
"It's a better job; there's no two ways," Glasser said. "It's good to be out in the street, and it's good to be going out on calls and not sitting behind a desk making paper airplanes."
What began as a group of eight in the trailer two years ago had been whittled to six by retirements.
Along with Glasser, Capt. Fred Morton, Capt. Bruce Adams and Maj. Raymond Burkart are doing the new work. Capt. Bruce Little was reassigned last week to narcotics, and Capt. Heather Kouts, a former 4th District commander, was moved in the fall to the NOPD's federal consent decree compliance bureau.
The work they were doing in the trailer has been reassigned to lower-level district supervisors, Glasser said.
He said the field supervisors are helping fill a void left by a dearth of lieutenants on the force, which is suffering from a steep manpower shortfall.
Glasser complained that the new work still doesn't fit with their high ranks. He also said the current NOPD structure, with lieutenants as commanders of the eight police districts, leaves the captains and major ultimately answering to lower-ranked officers.
"It still does not fulfill the role a police captain is supposed to be. We still have zero subordinates, no command," he said. "But we're happy to be contributing in some fashion."
Under Serpas, the group had been dubbed the Administrative Support Unit, though some members took to calling themselves "trailer trash" for their makeshift office outfitted with discarded hotel furniture.
Together, they challenged their inglorious assignments and won.
First, the Civil Service Commission granted them 10 percent pay raises like those given to members of the Public Integrity Bureau for tasks deemed "unpleasant."
They won again with a ruling in August that required the department to either return them to their former duties or demote them. The city had long argued that the trailer work was in line with the officers' ranks.
Glasser said the group will continue to fight for more appropriate jobs.
"We are looking at it to make sure we agree it's consistent with the responsibilities of a captain," said Hudson, the Civil Service Department director. "We're still in the process of evaluating it."
The officers landed in Serpas' bad graces in different ways. Several are former district chiefs who were kicked to the curb as Serpas set up a new commander tier in 2011, leapfrogging lieutenants into many of the 16 commander posts, which technically do not amount to a new rank.
To the high-ranking cops and their attorneys, the fight was for more than an escape from the trailer, though. It was a battle over the integrity of civil service rules that are supposed to protect police and other city employees from the political and personal whims of department leaders.
For critics of those rules, however, the trailer was a symptom of archaic restrictions that hamper the city's ability to jettison employees who don't meet muster.
That symbol remains. While they serve in their new posts, Glasser said, they remain temporarily in the trailer pending orders to return to headquarters.
"Still in the trailer," Glasser lamented, "and still not in command."

Jerusalem (CNSNews.com) - Israeli troops discovered two huge bombs planted near a Jewish community in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon prepared to meet with administration officials in Washington.
Israel's Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said Israel might extend its withdrawal of troops to Hebron by the end of the week if conditions on the ground permitted.
But Palestinians accused Israeli troops of killing two Palestinians and arresting a third overnight in a West Bank village near Jenin. The Israeli army said it had no knowledge of the incident.
At a cabinet meeting earlier this week, Ben-Eliezer said that opening up areas presents Israel with a dilemma because terrorists take advantage of the easing of the closures by carrying out terror attacks.
Nevertheless, he said on Tuesday that troops might pull out of Hebron by the weekend.
"Right now we are in the midst of talks... on widening the area [of withdrawal] from 'Bethlehem First' to 'All of Judea First,'" Ben-Eliezer said in an interview with Army Radio from Paris.
"We are in intensive talks on this issue and I hope that by the end of the week this will happen if the conditions in the field will allow it," he said.
Earlier, Israel and the PA entered into the Bethlehem-Gaza First understanding, whereby Israel said it would withdraw its troops from PA areas in which it had taken up positions, if quiet was maintained.
Troops pulled out of Bethlehem, which has been relatively calm, but Israeli forces have continued to mount military operations in Gaza to destroy what Israel calls the "terrorist infrastructure."
Israeli troops prevented what could have been a major explosion next to the settlement of Netzarim in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday.
Troops discovered two 80-kilogram each bombs (176 pounds), hidden and connected to each other near the community, an army spokesperson said. Two bombs of 40 kilos each (88 pounds) were discovered in the same place on Monday, she added.
In northern Israel, four people were lightly wounded from flying glass in what was initially suspected of being a terrorist shooting attack on a public inter-city bus, police spokesman Gil Kleiman said.
While there have been hundreds of shooting attacks on Israeli vehicles, most of them have occurred in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, not Israel proper.
Later, it was still unclear if an attack had taken place, or if the bus window had been shattered by some kind of flying debris.
The incidents came the day after Sharon left for Washington for a meeting with the president, other administration officials and congressional leaders. He is due to meet with National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice over dinner on Tuesday.
Bush is expected to press Sharon to lighten up on the Palestinians as well as exercise restraint in the event that Israel is attacked by Iraq as a result of a U.S. strike in the Gulf.
In the past, Sharon's trips have been interrupted by terror attacks back home. He cut short this trip - his seventh since taking office - due to the security situation here.
Israeli troops uncovered an explosives laboratory in Jenin and found explosives belts like those warn by suicide bombers there and arrested a suicide bomber in a refugee camp near Nablus two nights ago.
Over the weekend, an alert security guard foiled a suicide bombing in a restaurant in Tel Aviv. As he was chasing the bomber, three guards from the U.S. Embassy who together managed to wrestle the bomber to the ground joined him. His bomb was defused and he was arrested.

Hey guys, I am a freshman in highschool and i have never had a boyfriend or known about somebody crushing on me. I can kind of understand why. I am not a size 2. I do not have perfect skin. I dont have perfect flowing hair. My family is not rich. I am ALWAYS that ugly friend that just gets ignored. I dont like to talk much but when you talk to me for a while i will open up and I am pretty friendly. It always seems like its my crush that likes my best friend and not me. You may say that i just need to focus on me right now, or that i am too young for a boyfriend but i just need to know. Is there something wrong with me or who i am?

The biggest thing wrong with you is your self esteem. You are so negative towards yourself, it projects outwardly.
Some things you can change. If you're heavy, lose weight. You can get a haircut. You can wear as nice of clothes as you can afford. The bottom line is to be the best 'you' that you can be, rather than comparing yourself to other people.31|20|0

|Kurdish War and end of Cold War II, 2052-2060
| Turkey
| Iran
The Kurdish War would last in Kurdistan from 2052-2060, and would bring cause the United Nations to collapse and therefore ending Cold War II.
Kurdish War startup
By 2050, the Middle East is no longer an influential region in the world. Oil is no longer necessary with flying cars now relying on other sources for fuel.
Also in 2050, conflict between the United States/European Union and the Eurasian Union/China are still sustainable, as there has been no proxy war between the two powers since Peru in 2032-2035.
However, in 2051, Kurdistan, the region located in Turkey, Iran, Iraq, and Syria, experiences a huge economic collapse, and completely loses sovereignty, and anarchy breaks out. Both Turkey and Iran are the only countries who can fix Kurdistan, so they both send troops into the land... but when they confront each other, relations between Turkey and Iran then turn down, and signs of a new proxy war are showing.
Kurdish War, 2052-2060
In 2052, Turkey would declare war on Iran. Immediately after this, the United States, United Kingdom, and European Union get involved in support of Turkey, while the Eurasian Union, Pakistan, and China would immediately get involved in support of Iran.
This war would last for 8 years, and would be the deadliest proxy war of Cold War II. It would cost the lives of 45 million people on the side of the Eurasian Union, China, and Iran. It would cost the lives of 25 million people on the side of the United States, European Union, and Turkey. With 70 million people in total, it would surpass World War II as deadliest conflict in history in terms of death of soldiers. All the military spending would lead to the collapse of the United Nations.
Collapse of the United Nations, 2060
First to go would be the United States, as in 2059 it would undergo a huge financial crisis leading it to collapse in January 2060. The collapse of the US would be seen as a victory for the Eurasian Union... until only 5 days later when the Eurasian Union then collapses itself.
With the USA and EAU now gone, the European Union and China are the worlds two superpowers. The Kurdish War is still going on, but now Turkey's only support is from the European Union, and Iran's only support is from China. Both Turkey and Iran then collapse in February 2060, which should have ended the Kurdish War, but with European and Chinese forces still fighting in Kurdistan, the war is still not over.
Later in February 2060, the European Union then collapses, leaving China as the worlds only superpower. Chinese forces leave Kurdistan, and the president of China declares that China has informally won the Kurdish War. However, China would be the next to collapse in March 2060.
After China's collapse, the whole United Nations collapses, and all nations of the world lose sovereignty, leading riots and anarchy to break out. Only 3 days later, something is done to rebuild sovereignty. The world forms into 8 continental super nations. These would only be economic and governmental nations, and culture for each region inside the super nations would be protected. The governments of these nations would have both elements of Republican Capitalism and Democratic Socialism. These super nations are;
- North American Nation [Capital cities = New York, San Francisco, Mexico City, Toronto]
- South American Nation [Capital cities = Buenos Aires, Santiago, Sao Paulo, Lima]
- European Nation [Capital cities = London, Berlin, Istanbul, Moscow]
- African Nation [Capital cities = Algiers, Dar Es Salaam, Lagos, Cape Town]
- Middle Eastern Nation [Capital cities = Ankara, Cairo, Riyadh, Dubai]
- Southeast Asian Nation [Capital cities - Mumbai, Bangkok, Manila, Singapore]
- Northeast Asian Nation [Capital cities = Shanghai, Seoul, Tokyo, Khabarovsk]
- Oceanian Nation [Capital cities = Jakarta, Sydney, Wellington, Brisbane]

The currents are more massive than they may look from the freeway bridges, and at certain times of the year, the river can present sudden obstacles and serious perils. Nobody knows the river more intimately than Charles Allen — where to find its hidden secrets, how to avoid problems and when the most opportune times may be for an expedition by canoe. He can set you up and put you in, or he can go with you, which is the better deal because he really does know and love this deeply misunderstood old river.
Every Thursday night, the rooftop deck of two-floor Red Light Lounge comes alive with music from The Guild, a group of DJs who have played at Burning Man. The real show, however, is the crowd of regulars who show up in wild-ass wigs, feathers, leather, sequins, tutus, body paint and other outrageous disco costumery. How much time should you put into your couture for this club? They enforce a "no effort, no entry" door policy. Adorn yourself accordingly.
If you're going to give yourself a name like Velvet Elvis, you better be tacky in your execution. And if there's anything that Velvet Elvis does well, it's bad taste. It's everything that a hole-in-the-wall dive located in a strip mall should be: dark, grungy and full of bad art, with no beers on tap (bottles and cans only) and drinks that will knock you off your feet. Like any self-respecting dive, Velvet Elvis is the place to get away from other people, but if you want to hate yourself a little more, there's always karaoke.

Here's the short-but-simple online biography of The Naked Lens: "I figured the world already had enough wedding photographers," he writes. "Most of my best friends are hookers, strippers or burners." The Naked Lens is photographer Mark Kaplan, a former naval air crewman and lifeguard who now works as a freelance shooter. Kaplan can be found photographing parties and events far off the beaten path, definitely not the dressy society wingdings the shiny sheets cover. His pix celebrate the tattooed, pierced, pink-haired and scantily clad. Burlesque shows are a favorite. Kaplan likes his subjects to have some skin in the game.Deep Ellum, 214-444-FOTO, nakedlens.org
In March, award-winning journalist Janet St. James announced she was leaving her job of 19 years at ABC affiliate WFAA and moving to public relations. The next month came worse news: St. James had been diagnosed with invasive breast cancer. The news of her diagnosis and subsequent double mastectomy came from St. James herself in videos posted on Facebook. "I am fierce and strong. But I have breast cancer," she said. She has continued posting updates through chemotherapy treatment (now over). After all those health stories for Channel 8, including exclusives on last year's Ebola patients at Presby, St. James may be doing her best work reporting on her own medical crisis and recovery. (Follow her on FB or on Twitter @janetstjames.)
Dallas Comedy House isn't where you go to see a big-name headliner, but that's what makes it good. Head to the recently relocated Deep Ellum institution if you want to catch Dallas' best up-and-coming stand-up comedians (who might one day become big names) trying out new material and honing their acts. You can take an improv class here, too, and it's the site of the annual Dallas Comedy Festival, which serves as a showcase for hot comics on the way up in the biz.

Connie Carter – Take Your Time
Released: April 19, 2014
Connie Carter started getting dressed this morning when she realized the kind of fun she could be having with her clothes off and her body intertwined with her boyfriend's. Connie leaned into the bathtub where Denson sat reading the soccer scores and planted a deep kiss on his mouth. She dropped her lingerie to the floor and joined him in the tub, giving him a wet and sloppy blowjob. Denson slid his hard cock into Connie from behind, thrusting into her and grabbing thick handfuls of her luscious butt. Watch how this erotic scenes ends, with Connie laying back and spreading her legs wide open to take his cock as deep as it would go.

Oracle embraced Java in early 2010 by taking over Sun corp. Since then it has become one of the hottest computer programming languages in the world. Due to its wide selection of frameworks, languages, database support, and servers, this language has gained preference with almost all software development companies.
Because of the huge demand for Java, companies are in constant search of Java developers. However, when it comes to hiring one, the task becomes quite tricky and rigid. Many prefer
candidates with Java certifications over others who do not possess any. Other companies value experience over a piece of paper.
For any organisation it is very important that the developer they hire must have the right knowledge and skill-set for performing any technical task. Aspects such as education, experience, projects, communication skills etc. all matter to a great extent. Being certified is also one of them. Yet, many recruiters feel that the presence of this specialisation is in theory and it does not give the correct measure of the candidate's competency and achievements.
The debate on the benefit of these certifications is endless, however, here are some pros and cons of being Java certified.
The Merits
#1 High Salary: This is by far the most important aspect of being certified. Certified individuals have the edge to earn more than their non-certified counterparts. Such individuals can earn anything from $84.52 – $108.36.
#2 Hiring advantage: As was mentioned before, Java certifications can highlight an individual during hiring. According to the CompTIA survey of 2011, almost 86% IT hiring managers claimed to prefer the presence of certifications during hiring.
#3 The recognition: Java certifications are recognised all over the world. With over 500,000 internationally recognized certifications, this is one lucrative specialisation for sure.
#4 Validity for life: Java certifications have no expiry date. They can be specialised in at any time of your life and be used for acquiring any type of programming job. There are several institutes that provide these certifications in India. In Pune, especially, these courses have a lot of merit. Attaining Java jobs in Pune becomes quite easy if you have one such certification in your kitty.
#5 The additional benefits: With certifications comes exclusive community and networking benefits. Due to the numerous networking sites and chat forums present online, a developer can engage with others of his kind and share information to increase their technical knowledge base. Also, an Oracle Certified Professional has special access to LinkedIn communities where he can interact with other certified individuals.
The Demerits
#1 Experience more important: Many companies value experience, accomplishments, and track records above everything else when it comes to hiring a programmer. According to a survey by CompTIA in 2011, 97% of IT hiring managers consider that the quality of experience is most important when it comes to evaluating a candidate.
#2 Expensive courses: The certification courses have become more expensive since oracle took over Sun corp. Initially there were no pre-requisites in obtaining this specialisation. There was no registration or hefty training fees. However, now, the rates have moved up.
#3 Not a true measure: A certificate does not define the extent of knowledge an individual possess. Although it is considered as a seal of excellence by some, it is definitely not a true measure of how much you know and how much you don't when it comes to practical application of that knowledge base.
#4 Theories not enough: It has been witnessed by certain mangers that employees with numerous certifications under their belt had no idea about how HTTP GET and HTTP POST worked. This comes to show that theoretical knowledge of a topic is enough to pass an exam, but not through a career.
It is very difficult to decide whether a certification course is vital or not. It is important yes, but definitely not mandatory. If you focus on industry experience and do not set store by a certificate, then you shall definitely progress in life. Get a certification, but do not depend on it blindly to get you a job of your choice. Saying that you have 10 different skills on your CV is not enough. You should be able to demonstrate those abilities, practically, as well.
By the end of the day, it's all about personal choice!

So it's been more or less confirmed that some features of Android Honeycomb will be made available for smartphones.
Viewsonic - which recently launched the Viewpad 7 and Viewpad 10 Android tablets - has said it will be the first to release an Android 2.4 device. But wait - that version will still be called Gingerbread as it is more or less the same software, only loaded with some features from the Honeycomb 3.0 version which is meant to work only on tablets.
According to Pocket-Lint, the update will allow single-core smartphones (as opposed to those packing the dual-core chips that are a hardware requirement for the Honeycomb software) to access Honeycomb apps.
Not only does this jibe with the rumours from last week that the next version of Android would incorporate some features from Honeycomb, it also fits with news we've heard from sources - namely that HTC is not making the Android 2.3 update available for its existing phones until the 'second half of the Gingerbread OS' is released for manufacturers to use. That sounds like it could be Android 2.4, or Gingerbread part II.

Your answer is one click away!
The file
WindowsFormsControlLibrary/Properties/licenses.licx is in my local repository and by error in the remote repository.
I put
*.licx in
.gitignore file.
When I use the command
git pull, I get this message:
error: Your local changes to the following files would be overwritten by merge:
Please, commit your changes or stash them before you can merge.
I do a commit and I do this:
$ git rm --cached WindowsFormsControlLibrary/Properties/licenses.licx
$ git --skip-worktree WindowsFormsControlLibrary/Properties/licenses.licx
$ git --assume-unchanged WindowsFormsControlLibrary/Properties/licenses.licx
$ git reset --hard HEAD
But the message is the same when I use
git pull.
How can I use
git pull without having to merge the
licenses.licx files?
Have you updated
.gitignore locally ? If so you must check contents of the global gitignore file which sometimes influence your local gitignore.
When you did
git reset --hard HEAD, you undid the removal of the license file from the cache. Do
git rm --cached WindowsFormsControlLibrary/Properties/licenses.licx again, then do a
git commit.
To be safe, make a backup copy of your local licenses.licx file before the next step.
When you do your next pull, you will get a merge conflict, since you have removed the file while at the same time someone else has obviously changed it (otherwise you would not be getting the original error). Resolve it using "mine" (or simply remove it from the cache again) and commit.
Note that this will remove the licenses.licx file on other people's machines when they do a
git pull.

Thanks for reading Melbourne Express. See you back here again tomorrow at 6am.
Blewitt's murder has been one of the long-unsolved mysteries of Melbourne's gangland wars.
Blewitt was a suspect in the murder of Graham "The Munster" Kinniburgh, an associate of the infamous Moran family. His hit was ordered by gangland drug boss Carl Williams, police believe, and carried about by Blewitt. Blewitt himself disappeared soon after.
Victoria Police has just put out a press release, and it's a whopper - human remains have been found in the search for Terrance Blewitt. Here's the press release:
Purana Task Force detectives have located what is believed to be human remains during a search of a property in Thomastown as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Terrance Blewitt back in 2004.
Terrence Blewitt was last seen on 12 April 2004 by his partner who reported him missing after he failed to return home the following day.
Mr Blewitt was dropped off on the corner of Lachlan and Hume streets in Melton at 2.20pm by a friend.
Around the time of his disappearance, investigators received information that Mr Blewitt had met with foul play.
Purana Task Force detectives have been searching and digging at the Pelmet Crescent property since Monday morning.
There are now delays of up to 15 minutes on the Alamein, Belgrave, Glen Waverley and Lilydale lines citybound due to a track fault at Burnley station.

The driver was not injured and there wasn't any structural damage to the bridge.

We have a new planet (maybe). It's called... Planet Nine. Here's the story:
Astronomers at the California Institute of Technology have announced they have found new evidence of a giant icy planet lurking in the darkness of our solar system far beyond the orbit of Pluto. They are calling it "Planet Nine."
Their paper, published in the Astronomical Journal, describes the planet as about five to 10 times as massive as the Earth. But the authors, astronomers Michael Brown and Konstantin Batygin, have not observed the planet directly.

A former principal who had a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl student - conduct a magistrate labelled "morally repugnant" - has been spared jail a second time, this time for breaching a court order, reports Adam Cooper.
The man, 56, who cannot be named, maintained a sexual relationship with the girl for almost three months in 2013, after he had been sacked by a Christian school in a Melbourne suburb for sending the girl inappropriate text messages while he was principal.
I already told you 2015 was a record-breaking warm year, on top of the last record set in 2014. How about those years of missing warming? Scientists reportedly now have very good proof that all that missing heat actually ended up... Deep in the ocean.
If you've been travelling on the Sunbury line for the last couple of weeks, you've probably noticed your train running slower than usual. That's due to track work to replace the line's level crossings. Hopefully it's all done soon. Anyway, Metro say it's adding about five to ten minutes to passengers' journeys.

TOP STORY: Police are hunting a man who dropped his shorts and masturbated at two teenage girls on Beaumaris beach earlier this month.
The two teenage girls were sitting on the beach's foreshore on Friday, 8 January, when the man approached them.
He asked if he could take a photo of them. When they declined, he dropped his shorts to his knees and began to masturbate. The two girls fled the beach and told their parents, who called police.
The police have released a photo composite of the man, and ask anyone with information to call Crimestoppers on 1800 333 000.

The Shrinking Machine is an invention of Phineas and Ferb.
When Phineas & Ferb and the gang were bored on a rainy day, a boy named Irving, who claimed to be their biggest fan, suggested Hide and Seek. When Buford asked how one would play Hide and Seek in a house so small, Phineas suggested that they used the shrink ray to shrink themselves down.
After shrinking down
Phineas & Ferb and the gang tested out being small while a song played in the background. Afterwards, Phineas told everyone they can play Hide and Seek now, then Candace came in while talking to Stacy on the phone. She noticed the shrinker and told Stacy she'll call her back, this thing was obviously made by Phineas and Ferb so it must do something. She left the house with the shrinker so she could show it to Mom. Isabella showed Phineas that Baljeet was up on the umbrella stand. Candace opened the umbrella and Baljeet got catapulted up. Phineas told Baljeet they would get him out as soon as they got the shrinker back. Baljeet told him he was freezing from the air conditioner.
Background Information
- Ferb came up with the idea when Buford asks if the house is too small to play Hide and Seek in.

Grains Analysis
Thursday's weekly export sales report was mixed. Soybean sales last week were 436 thousand metric tons, off 28% from the week prior with China getting 206 of the total versus 338 the week before.
China stepped back a little last week as they prepared for their trade visit to Washington this week and a more aggressive buying pattern. Through Thursday, they had purchased 120 thousand metric tons, as well as reaching a long-term agreement for soybean purchases.
The longer-term agreement can be expanded or contracted depending on circumstances like price spikes and weather, so it's not like actual sales - more like a line of credit at $4 billion. We it to turn into sales/exports.
Corn exports reported Thursday were 1.005 million metric tons, up from last week's 694 thousand metric tons, and above the 4-week average of 830. Though China was absent, Egypt took 240, and Mexico for 415 were the big players. Mexico's drought has had them buying U.S. corn for 11 consecutive weeks. The drought continues, so we expect the demand to continue as well.
Domestic demand for corn remains robust as well. The sharp summer high price spikes for the past two years have ethanol producers blending and using the pre-summer low prices to build inventory storage. Therefore, when corn prices surge in summer, along with crude oil and gasoline prices (due to seasonal high consumption), they can sell the previously stored ethanol at a profit. Expect them to continue to buy corn for ethanol production heavily through March.
The USDA came out this week with its 10-year baseline projections for grain production. As usual, the market ignored it. The reason: it only gives planted acreage projections. Because world populations are always growing, they come in with higher acreage estimates to compensate. Population growth throughout the last five years has left acreage increases insufficient to meet demand. The other problem with the report is that it is void of demand indicators. As you know from being a regular reader of my reports, large trading funds controlling price trends focus on demand-side fundamentals over supply-side. Repeat after me: demand...not supply...controls the trend.
Markets are closed Monday for Presidents' Day in the U.S. Traders will be reluctant to add positions or risk, especially with the weather conditions expected in parts of South America. WXRISK.com sees a good soaking of 3 to 5 inches today through Sunday in central and eastern Argentina - the big producing areas of Buenos Aires and La Pampa with 70% coverage and another 1 to 2 inches Monday to Thursday.
Southern Brazil could get .50 to 1.50 inches Monday and Tuesday. If the rain totals are accurate, we should return Tuesday to start the week with lower prices. After last Thursday's February 9 USDA crop report remember we anticipated post-report profit taking by funds for a late February low to buy long and hold into the March 31 planting intentions report. Even longer than that, actually, as the late February low should hold through the summer growing season.
Corn prices advanced 30 cents off the crop report high. Beans gained 35 cents since just before that crop report, greatly influenced by talk of a heat dome entering South America while the beans are still in the growth phase. Wheat was pulled down 50 cents.
All signals in grains remain bullish in the big picture, but profit taking always causes a break after a key crop report.
Once we enter March, all talk turns to the March 31 planting estimates report; weather in South America will take a backseat but we'll be watching ending production and crop losses.
May corn support is $6.20 then $6.16. Any break to this level should be bought. Resistance is $6.48 then $6.56. May bean support is $12.35. Resistance is up at $12.70 then $12.90. May wheat support is $6.25 then $6.15. Resistance is $6.50.
If the rains do not happen in South America after all, then prices will not dip to test supports.

It is both exciting and confusing when starting a new relationship. You become anxious when you try to excite your new partner and also you try to be conscious not to ruin the whole thing before it starts by doing the right thing. Since no one wants to tear down what he or she has labored for. Life is unusual, and once in a while we simply need to come up short keeping in mind the end goal to succeed. No one wants to suffer any heart break. Be that as it may, it happens. It is essential to make sense of the contrast between a past experience and a perfect partner. Here are 10 astonishing rules for starting a new relationship.
- Take your time to be acquainted with each other. At the initial stages, numerous couples get together with different friends. It makes it look simpler yet won't help you become more acquainted with each other. Both of you should pick a day to meet and make sure it is only you two. It will give the ideal chance to become more acquainted with one another better. Spending private time with each other helps both of you to understand each other perfectly and to know what your likes and dislikes are.
- No keeping of destructive secrets. The vast majority of people have a couple of secrets. These secrets are not important to be revealed to your new partner at the beginning of your relationship. Notwithstanding, there are some secrets you have to think carefully about to know which secrets are ideal to be revealed now. Let your partner know if you are still friends with your ex; it will spare your needless argument when your new partner hears you talking to your ex on phone. By doing things like this there will not be any suspicion that you are a cheating partner.
- There should be no close marking. Give each other breathing space. Similarly, nobody will want to begin a relationship and see their new partner give them close marking all about. It is crucial to give each other space because it gives both of you an opportunity to acclimate to your new relationship without making any changes to your personality.
- Be straightforward and let your partner become acquainted with the true you. Speak the truth about what you expect and the true meaning of whatever you say. It is more likely for you both not to fight over a senseless misunderstanding when you understand each other well. Being honest helps a new relationship. Let every passing day count and never be reluctant to give your partner a chance to know the true you. Be yourself and never pretend to be who you are not. There is no gain pretending to be someone else.
- Let the future wait. Let your center of interest be on the present when you just start your relationship. Saying things about the future at this early stage is probably going to cause your new partner to be avoiding you, let the future wait. Appreciate the things you have at that present moment and be glad without scrutinizing his choices.
- Make friends with your partner's friends. You will meet a large number of your new partner's friends each passing day in your relationship. It not necessary you make them your best friends but it is very important you make them your friends too and coexist with them; your new partner's friends make a lot of impact in the early stages of a relationship.
- Keep your old friends in mind! Never forget them. Always keep your existing friends in mind because it is very essential. These people have been friends with for quite a long time and they will always be there for you through various challenges. They are the people to turn to for support when your relationship does not work. So never neglect them. If you just discard them just because you have started a relationship it is not certain if they will be there for when you need them for support. You will keep your friendship alive by spending time with your friends as your relationship progresses.
- Am I comfortable with this in public places? Some individuals are comfortable displaying their love in public while some are not. At the beginning of your relationship you need to make it known to your partner if you are comfortable kissing, holding each other's hands, hugging, and doing much more in public places. If you want to make your dating more comfortable, be honest to make your preferences known to each other. Let your partner know what you like to be done with each other in the public and what you dislike to do in the public. Because human beings are different from each other, some may be to kiss, hold each other's hands, and hug in the public while some people completely hate it.
9. Do not be jealous. In any relationship, there should be no room for jealousy. It is common for men and ladies to stare when alluring individual strolls by. However, it will be foolish if you make a fool out of yourself while walking on the street. This act could bring a bad impression about you to your partner if the relationship just got started. It's alright to be somewhat jealous to demonstrate to him or her that you really care, however not all that much since you'll frighten your partner off.
10. Respect your partner's privacy. Things considered private in your relationship ought not to be discussed anywhere. Obviously, you can make it known to individuals that you are currently in a relationship which you are happy in. Never tell anyone things that are private but you may tell friends some of your experiences. Your new partner will not like the act of discussing your private life with people. Private things such as your bedroom romance should be private. And also don't trace number on your partner's phone.

How has preseason practices been going for your team?
Not bad. We were practicing pretty well and I thought we were really making some good strides. Then we had an injury last week and that made us take a step back. It was our point guard so we have to kind of rethink the way we're going to do things here early in the season. So, we're in the process of a little transformation but the guys have been working hard.
Have there been any players that were on the roster last year that have been standing out or surprised you?
Well, I think Terrell Stoglin is coming off. He was all-freshman team last year and he had a good season. Especially late in the year he put up some good numbers. He's practiced well. He can really score the ball. I'm trying to make him a more complete player. Sean Mosley has really practiced well and played well in our scrimmages. He's a senior and he's done well. Across the board, we have some guys that didn't play a lot that are back from the team whether it's James Padgett, Ashton Pankey or Berend Weijs. Those are three big guys that are playing well for us. Mychal Parker is the same way: a guy who didn't play a lot for us last year that's practicing well. It's all their time to step up and try and produce at this level. Then we have a freshman Nick Faust who has played well for us and has a chance to be pretty good.
Do you like the way this tournament shapes up in terms of the schedule?
Well, I like it [the format] too and the day off. I like these early season tournaments. I think they're great for bonding, bringing your team together, just getting away from home and seeing where you stand nationally. I don't know if our team's ready for three and four days. We're down to seven scholarship players. We'll see. We're going to have to implement a couple of walk-ons into our rotation. That's the way the schedule is and this is our team so we're looking forward to it. I've never played in the Puerto Rican Shootout. I've been to a lot of the other tournaments but I'm looking forward to this one.
Coach, you play Alabama in the first round. What're your thoughts about the Crimson Tide?
Well I haven't studied them a lot. Obviously they have a good coach who has done a great job in Coach Grant. The Green kid and the Mitchell kid are special players. They've had great careers and have helped to put Alabama basketball back on the map, so to speak. They had a great SEC season last year and made a run in the NIT, to the championship game. So, we know they're going to be good. They lost a few pieces and added some new pieces, some good pieces. So, I'm sure like us they're trying to find themselves but they're still very talented and they're picked high. They should be excited about this season. I think they're in most of the Top 20 polls that I've seen.
Thoughts about the second round possibilities (Colorado or Wichita St.).
Well, you never really look forward to that as a coach. A lot of great memories at Wichita State. You know, I'll see a lot of familiar faces because Wichita St. travels well and they'll have a lot of people down there so it'll be good to see some people down there. Then of course Tad and I were together for a long time at Jacksonville St. and Wichita St. and he helped me build those programs and get where we are today. So, you don't look forward to any of those games to be quite honest with you but you've got to play them. I think the Shockers are picked high in their league and they should be good once again this year. And I think Tad is kind of going through a little bit of a rebuilding stage. Obviously, a little bit of a young team. Either way we're going to play a black and yellow team in the second round but it should be fun just to see some familiar faces.
Coach your football team wears some different uniforms. Are you guys doing anything like that this year?
Not this year. We're not planning on it. I think we will in the future. The pride uniforms, the state flag, I think will be one of those once a year type things that we'll do. But as of this point we are sticking to the uniforms we had last season and then next year we'll do some more stuff.
Coach do you have any new updates on Alex Len yet?
No. I don't.
How do you manage three games in four days with a relatively thin roster?
We're just gonna have to play some walk-ons. That's the bottom line. We're gonna get in foul trouble and we're just gonna have to play them. We're gonna practice that way and start preparing that way. Unfortunately, since PeShon's gone down we've had two scrimmages and really haven't had a lot of practice time to adjust to him being gone and it showed in one of our scrimmages this weekend. So, we got to see which walk-on players are most ready to help us and they're gonna play. Give us a couple minutes here and there in the first half and the second half. That's the only thing you can do when you play three games in four days. It's hard to play one game or two games with seven guys. We gotta get our guys in better shape. They are getting in better shape. And maybe change the way we've been practicing. We've been practicing, putting up-tempo, playing a lot faster and unfortunately we might not be able to do that early in the season.
On Pe'Shon and his MRI results.
Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything yet. I was supposed to hear something yesterday and didn't hear anything. He's had the MRI and some people have looked at it and they've given me preliminary stuff but nothing factual like okay this is what the doc said after he viewed the whole thing. I know Pe'Shon's got a doctor's appointment on Wednesday and we'll know more there because not only has he read the MRI but also he can push on Pe'Shon's foot and see how he reacts to the pain and that kind of stuff. So, unfortunately I don't have anything for you. I should have more and I don't. I'm a little disappointed, but hopefully we'll have something by Wednesday.
What kind of ripple effect is Pe'Shon's injury causing on your lineup?
Well it's a big deal. Pe'Shon was a steady point guard for us. We only had two in the program so this knocks us down to one. So now I've got to move Nick Faust to point guard or backup point and he's a really good three man but he's gonna have to play point and he's not comfortable there. It puts a lot of pressure on him and it shortens our rotation. Terrell Stoglin, I think, is more of a scoring point or a natural two even at his size and now he has to play more point. And he's played point. He's played it his whole life. So, we couldn't afford an injury to one of our two point guards and it's happened. We've just got to adjust. This is the way it's going to be. This is our team and we'll adjust. But it's a big ripple effect. It's not just a little thing. Our program is not in the position where we can just plug somebody else in, unfortunately. But we will be next year.
Have you been able to accomplish what you've hoped to accomplish in recruiting so far?
Yeah, so far. We wanna do more. We're not done by any stretch. We still have three scholarships on paper. So, we'd like to add a piece or two before next season. But we've got to add the right pieces. So, we're actively recruiting a lot of people and if we don't get it done early we're gonna do something late. But no, we need to do more.
How have your bigs been coming along?
They're coming. I think Pankey is coming the quickest. He can defend and rebound for us better than the other two. James has shown some ability to score but him and Berend need to know they're gonna play and get relaxed and do what they do in practice. They're all getting better but I think Pankey is coming the quickest.
Closing comments
We're excited. I know Maryland, last time they went down there, they won the tournament. The fans still talk about that, what a great time they had. And they had a heck of a team that season. But we're looking forward to getting back down there. Hopefully traveling well and just bonding as a team. We're looking forward to the challenges and obviously playing Alabama is going to be a great challenge.

Fall 2002
A multimedia 3D slide show produced by NYSS member Paul Pasquarello that tells the story of the 1901 Pan Am Exposition.
The featured presentation will be Electric City, the multimedia 3D slide show produced by NYSS member Paul Pasquarello with support from the New York Power Authority. The show tells the story of the 1901 Pan Am Exposition. It was shown at the Buffalo and Erie County Historical Society during 2001-2002 as part of the city's celebration of the centennial of the historic Exposition.
-The presentation is comprised of three parts. The first segment examines why Buffalo was chosen as host of this world fair. The second segment focuses on the importance of the newfound marvel of electricity. It concludes with a grand tour of the "Electric City," both under the light of day and under the electric lights powered by the mighty Niagara River.
-The show is written by Francis Kowsky and narrated by John Zach. To realize the project, more than 100 original stereoviews were borrowed from public and private collections around the country. They were scanned at high resolution and output to medium format slide film by Anne Dykstra with digital production and editing by John Weiksnar. The photos will be projected with two pairs of medium format projectors.

The latest actress to enter into her own line of fashion is Halle Berry. This time her celebrity name will appear on the feet. Berry is introducing a hot footwear collection that will have a diva strut in style.
A plus to this new collection is that it will be extremely affordable with pricing beginning at €35 ($45). The designs included wedges, sandals and sling-backs, and word is out that they are right-up-to-the-fashion-moment for spring 2012, as seen on the runways.
Her collection will launch on March 5th in approximately twenty-one countries but not in the U.S. as yet. Comprising of about forty styles, the line is simply called "5th Avenue by Halle Berry." If her shoe collection proves to be a success, her future collections will surely make it across the pond.
Berry is no stranger to having her name used, since her previous business ventures included her signature scent "Halle by Halle Berry."
Gucci designer handbags are a favorite of Halle Berry, and she makes use of them as a functional piece to her everyday wardrobe. Working moms, like Halle, need a good diaper bag, and the authentic Gucci Diaper Bag is just part of her vast collection of designer handbags.
Trendy mothers with babies or small children can get out of the house with a sleek and fashionable bag that is a functional diaper bag but can go on its own as an everyday bag too.
The black color canvas of the pre-owned Gucci diaper tote has Gucci's iconic monogram, and is trimmed in black leather. The entire frame can be easily spot-cleaned or wiped and contains an open pocket to store diapers or important documents.
The non-slip shoulder straps in Gucci red/green canvas allows for hand free activities.
The inside of the used Gucci diaper bag is accessible via a top zipper. The interior is comprised of several opened compartments, which can effortlessly hold disposable diapers, pacifier and wipes. There one zipped pocket within to secure keys and other small items.
This innovative Gucci tote also contains a quick changing pad that can hide away within. While there may be other diaper bags to choose from on the market that are frilly and curtsy, the pre-owned Gucci is the one that makes it uncomplicated
Even after the baby and toddler has outgrown the original use of this bag, the authentic Gucci Diaper Handbag can function as a work tote or casual weekend handbag too.

uv sunglasses pt them on her head so far anyway! Just bought these for my 4 month old daughter. Love them! Good quality and fit nicely. She's not been in them long yet, but she was happy with them on for the 20 mins or so she did have them in. Didn't try to pull them off. My son didn't try and pull them off and they seem comfortable for him. Perfect for our holiday. Came quickly. Still a bit wide for our 16 week old but she will grow in to them soon enough! These glasses are fantastic value for money, l Venezuela kitesurfing store ralph lauren flip flops options as they ship direct and Amazon are not responsible for checking this items. So if you are not choosing Amazon as the seller, you may want to check the seller feedback or buy them direct from Ray Ban if you are unsure how to cOslo ray ban portugal hindi lagvag .

Although not a book for the squeamish, I'd certainly recommend it to anyone who (like me) has a morbid fasci Ralph Lauren Outlet ming off, even in a decent wind.
They arrived with the yellow lenses and only criticism, no instructions on how to remove and insert change lenses, so was left with a delicate job which took a while to ensure they did not break.
A very nice looking pair of sunglasses that cut out glare. The only drawback I had was that they did not wrap around my face and as a result there were two areas at the extreme sides were you could see 'daylight'. Good for mountain biking but need a strap/cord as they do tend to slip down the bridge of you ray ban 3413 y, but not quite what I expected..
Very good quality, and very sturdy. They failed to say however, that they are enormous! I was hoping for something small and neat, (John Lennon size) but these are like massive goggles for welding. I've given them to my husband, who has a much bigger head .

One of the biggest targets for the Toledo Rockets right now is Columbus St. Francis De Sales High School product, Brandon Derrow. The six-four, 230-pound defensive end possesses great hands for block shedding and excellent explosiveness as well. The highly sought-after recruit holds an impressive offer sheet as Toledo, Ball State, Western Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Appalachian State, Buffalo, Marshall, Kent State, Akron, Bowling Green, Western Kentucky, Youngstown State, Eastern Kentucky and Rutgers have all offered but a few schools are standing out for him.
"Right now, Toledo is in my top four along with Rutgers, Western Kentucky and Western Michigan. I really like the direction Toledo is going under Coach Candle and how they've shown a lot of interest in me."
As for what he looks for in a school or program, Derrow has a few different requirements.
"I'm looking for a lot of things but mainly how good the school is academically and how I feel I fit into the program. I'm currently undecided on a major but I've been thinking business," Derrow told us.
The three-star is currently ranked as the 22nd-best defensive end in the Midwest region and is someone that could potentially make an instant impact at the next level as his recruitment heats up.
"I would say my strengths are how hard I go, which translates into speed and a good get off. I also think I'm aggressive with my hands," he said on his strengths on the field.
As Toledo continues their pursuit of one of their top targets, they'll be helped by a very good 2017 NFL Draft for the program which saw three players drafted, including defensive tackle Treyvon Hester. Aside from Hester, defensive end John Stepec was also invited to the New York Giants' rookie mini-camp, something that recruits are definitely noticing as the Toledo program gains national attention. As for the other schools in Derrow's top four, he has specific reasons why they've caught his eye.
"I felt really at home at the Rutgers campus and really like the player-coach relationships. At Western Kentucky, I was really impressed with the new coaching staff and it seems like they're really going in the right direction. I have a lot of respect for Toledo for continuing to recruit me heavily and how they really want me to be a part of their program. I was also really impressed with the campus and facilities at Western Michigan," Derrow said on his top four.
As his recruitment heats up, we'll be here with the latest. As always, stay tuned to Scout.

I'm not afraid to voice my opinion, fight for what I believe in and can be hard headed but if I'm proven wrong I will be the first to admit it. I am competitive, ambitious, and driven to succeed. I'm an honest person with a huge heart and always try to help others without being a door mat.
I am also a "old fashioned" kind of guy. Chivalry is NOT dead and I'll prove it. I am a very open person and speak my mind. I don't like playing the games and honestly don't have the time for it.
I love rock climbing, mountain biking and I am planning to get fully involved in kayaking this year. I would like to start hiking/camping more and would love to share these experiences with someone.

El Centenario is a small seaside town located in La Paz Municipality, Baja California Sur, Mexico, approximately 15 km west of La Paz, the capital city. El Centenario had a 2010 census population of 4,696 persons.[1]
El Centenario is the town closest to CIBNOR, one of the leading marine biology institutes in Latin America. CIBNOR conducts studies of the Gulf of California ecosystem (also known as the Sea of Cortez) which is one of the most bio-diverse bodies of water in the world.
El Centenario was founded in the 1960s as an agrarian/fishing ejido by approximately 25 founding families. Each of the original families was delegated land to use for farming and on which to build a dwelling, while the land remained under the ownership of the communal ejido. During the 1990s, due to reforms associated with the North American Free Trade Agreement, Mexican ejidos were granted rights to deliver legal ownership of ejido land to the members, thus changing from communal ownership to private ownership.
Local tradition[edit]
El Centenario locals eat nopal cacti as a main ingredient in tacos, which is unique in the La Paz area. This tradition was brought to El Centenario by the founding families when they moved from the interior of the Baja peninsula, where eating nopal is more common. In early fall, El Centenario holds a town nopal-themed festival. A carnival with rides and games is set up in the town center. A nopal cooking competition is organized by the BEDR 55 (Brigada de Educacion para el Desarrollo Rural No. 55), every year in early autumn (October).
The general year-round climate in El Centenario is similar to that of La Paz, Baja California Sur, and is generally warm, sunny, and dry. The months of July, August, and September are the warmest and most humid, with August and September being the most likely months to receive heavy rainfall.
One local weather phenomenon is the Coromuel Wind, which is a steady breeze that blows consistently during late afternoons in El Centenario. This is due to the cool Pacific Ocean waters creating relative low pressure and the warm Gulf of California waters creating relative high pressure. The wind then blows from the high pressure side, over the El Centenario area, to the low pressure side. Unlike most other parts of the Baja peninsula, there are no high mountains to block this air movement between the two sides of the peninsula.
El Centenario had a 2010 census population of 4,696 persons.[1]
Since its establishment, El Centenario has grown as a suburb of La Paz. The majority of the working residents commute to La Paz or surrounding areas. As of November 2007, many El Centenario residents work at the San Juan De La Costa Mine and the Paraiso Del Mar Resort Development on the El Mogote Peninsula, due the town's close proximity to these two locations.
In recent years, the hillside behind El Centenario has become a favorite location for United States and Canadian citizens to build new houses, either as vacation homes or as primary residences for retirement. The lower cost of living, when compared to the U.S., especially California or Florida, plus the rapid modernization of Southern Baja, has made it an increasingly viable alternative to retiring in the southern United States. New neighborhoods with growing English-speaking populations include Lomas del Centenario and Haciendas Palo Verde.
