At this writing, the Kansas City Board of Trade July 2006 wheat contract price is $3.53. Using the five-year average basis of a minus 40 cents for central Oklahoma and the Texas panhandle, the market is predicting a June 2006 cash price of $3.13. Cash price during June 2006 may be between $2.65 and $3.65.
During the last five years, Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle harvest prices have averaged about $3.01 and the range in average June prices was from $2.42 to $3.47. Current supply and demand conditions imply that June 2006 wheat prices may be near the $3 average.
A lot can happen, and usually does, during the six months between now and June 2006. First, Argentine and Australian will harvest their 2005 wheat. And, second the 2006 U.S. winter wheat crop has just been planted. Argentine and Australian wheat production will impact world wheat stocks and the 2006 U.S. winter wheat crop will be the first wheat crop harvested for the 2006/07 marketing year.
Both world and U.S. wheat stocks are below average and relatively tight. World wheat stocks on May 31, 2006, are projected to be 5.05 billion bushels compared to a five-year average of 5.6 billion bushels.
More important than wheat stocks is the stocks-to-use ratio (amount of wheat used divided by ending stocks). The world wheat stocks-to-use ratio is projected to be 22.2 percent compared to a five-year average of 28.9 percent. My records go back to 1960 and the world wheat stocks-to-use ratio has not been this low.
United States wheat stocks are projected to be 530 million bushels compared to a five-year average of 650 million bushels. The U.S. wheat stocks-to-use ratio is projected to be 24.2 percent compared to a five-year average of 29 percent. For the last three years, the U.S. stocks-to-use ratio has been between 23.2 and 27.6 percent. With a stocks-to-use ratio of 24.5 percent, the average price during June 2005 was $3.05.
Relatively low world and U.S. wheat stocks are not enough to result in June 2006 wheat prices being above $3. It will take a below-average 2006 winter wheat crop.
Early estimates are for slightly higher 2006/07 U.S. winter wheat planted acres. Hard red winter wheat acres are expected to be slightly higher than last year and soft red winter wheat acres are expected significantly higher. However, winter wheat planted estimates must be compared to both an average as well as to last year.
For the 2005 wheat crop, HRW wheat seeded acres were one percent less than in 2004 and Oklahoma and Texas acres were significantly lower. Soft red winter wheat planted acres were 19 percent less than in 2004. When the USDA releases the "Winter Wheat Seedings" in January, the estimates should be compared to a five-year average as well as last year's seedings.
Hard red winter wheat seeded acres for the 2005 crop were 29.9 million acres compared to a five-year average of 30.5 million acres. Soft red winter seeded acres for 2005 were 6.1 million compared to 8.1 million acres for 2004 and a five-year average of 7.9 million acres.
The U.S. winter wheat crop is essentially planted and was planted in significantly better conditions than the seedings for the 2005 crop.
Relatively high fuel and fertilizer costs will impact wheat production worldwide. Most producers will have a tendency to apply less fertilizer and not plant marginal acres. This could lead to lower production and higher prices in 2006.
Wheat stocks are relatively tight, which implies that any problems, perceived or real, will have a relatively large impact on wheat prices. This "weather market" may offer opportunities to price wheat before the 2006 harvest.
The keys are to compare actual wheat seedings to the benchmarks and to watch the KCBT July 2006 wheat contract price for opportunities. The market often presents the opportunity to buy put or call option contracts cheaper in January than in April or May.

You've seen the Game of Thronesy images from Universal's Snow White and the Huntsman — now look upon the infinitely more wacky Snow White production, from The Cell director Tarsem Singh.
No real surprise here — Tarsem's brood of fairy tale creatures all look like they were plucked from the technocolored TV screens during the Wizard of Oz days. The blues are so blue! The orange is so bright! This is just classic Tarsem right here. That being said I hope the director left some room to sprinkle a little darkness into this tale. We've hear that there will be comedy and loads of magic in his version of Snow White, but we really hope he can tap into that dark madness from which he created The Cell.

Julia Roberts as the Evil Queen.
Lily Collins as Snow White.

Our ongoing fantasy baseball games through FanDuel haven't been going well for Albert Pujols, or me — poor Albert's batting .208 and I upped my performance in the last game by over 100 places and still finished in the low 400s. It's not a good year for the two of us.
So we're switching it up … this time the Friday League (happening tomorrow night) is offering prizes from a $200 cash pool, but with only 110 seats available in the game. The entry fee is a measly two bucks and you can enter up to three times, but I only get to enter once, with my sad Albert Pujols team. Because of that, you can get your entry fee back on all three of their entries if all of the them beat my team. It's basically free again, with even easier money on top than normal. Sign up before I shake my head at you.
Here's how it works, in case you're a square and haven't played yet:
And with this new set up, you'd be losing money by NOT playing. Sign up now and put me out of my misery!

This Guest Post is by one of the adult students in our dojo (Hikari Dojo), Peerawut Kamlang-ek. He has trained with us for about a year and a half.
"Repetition is the mother of skill!"
I'm sure that many Karate students and people in any practice probably have heard this phrase before. I believe it serves its purpose for motivation and improvement. Therefore, if two students started Karate at the same time, Karate student A who practices a movement 100 more times than Karate student B should be better at that movement.
In my belief that's not always the case.
Surely, Karate student A might have a higher chance of being more skilled at that movement, but what if Karate student B thinks more about what he's doing with the movement when he practices? He might not repeat the movements as much as Karate student A, but he slows down, pauses, and rewinds his movements while practicing in front of a mirror. He might also be analyzing his koshi during the process.
I can't be certain about what other students in the Kishaba-Juku style think, but I find the style challenging in many aspects. The articulating portion of 'catching' the mechanics of koshi would be one of these challenges. It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that it could get frustrating during the process of applying the mechanics, especially the bo kata.
Trying to copy the instructor's and senior student's movements without thinking about what I'm doing with mine will limit my chances of using and understanding koshi. They can do it, but how are they doing it? What can I do to move like that? I have to emulate them with constant reflection. Interestingly, due to the nature of a small privatized training environment, everybody's movements and koshi in our dojo are somewhat personalized and different because of our body size and strength.
One thing the Marine Corps is used to doing is reflecting on training, we call it debriefing. Within our platoon, we would do countless amounts of reaction drills to different attacks from simulated enemy troops. The squad and team leaders supervise and points out what could've been better in the exercise and encourages his Marines to think about how they could do better.
I try to apply such experience to my individual Karate pursuits.
Before we practice movements we must make sure that what we're practicing is correct. It's good that a student consistently trains, but they could also be developing bad habits if they are not thinking about what they are practicing. Consulting our Sensei and fellow students also helps a lot (I always do, especially because I'm a beginner).
With all being said, I believe that there's always something we could improve on if we choose to incorporate the mental effort, not only in Karate, but in any endeavor.

Yesterday Adobe launched the beta of Muse (code name) a new Mac OS and Windows app that promises to let graphic designers create websites as easily as they create layouts for print. The response has this time been pretty, pretty, pretty, pretty good – 120,000 downloads from the Adobe Labs website. Actually those are astonishing numbers and show that designers really need something like this. I bet those other Muse guys would like 120,000 downloads in one day!
The app was developed by some of the folks that built InDesign, which has become the standard for page layout and is now leading the charge towards digital publishing.
We've also seen some commentary, in the forums, from the web developer community regarding Muse. Just a reminder folks that Muse was created for graphic designers to enable them to design and publish professional, unique HTML websites without writing code or working within restrictive (ie boring) templates. It is something that designers have been asking for and will not impact the continued innovation across our other web development tools and technologies.
However we are taking constructive feedback from all constituencies into our product plans, as Muse matures. So keep it coming designers, developers…

No. 12 Sooners Upend Iowa St. Behind Jones' 4 TDs
AMES, Iowa -- Landry Jones threw for 405 yards and a season-high four touchdowns, and Oklahoma (No. 12 BCS, No. 14 AP) beat Iowa State 35-20 on Saturday, moving coach Bob Stoops into a second-place tie with Bud Wilkinson on the Sooners' career win list.
Stoops posted his 145th victory with Oklahoma. He is 12 wins shy of tying Barry Switzer for the most in school history.
Brennan Clay ran for a career-best 157 yards as the Sooners bounced back from a loss to Notre Dame. Oklahoma (6-2, 4-1 Big 12) has won 20 straight following a defeat in the regular season.
Jones' 20-yard TD pass to Justin Brown to open the second half put the Sooners up 21-6. Oklahoma racked up 593 yards of offense, and put it away when Jones' 31-yard TD pass to Kenny Stills made it 35-13 with 10:59 left.
Steele Jantz threw for 191 yards for Iowa State (5-4, 2-4). The Cyclones lost their 21st straight home game against the Sooners, a stretch of futility that dates back 52 years.
Oklahoma outgained Iowa State 325-84 in the first half, just a week after scoring a season-low 13 points in its 30-13 loss to Notre Dame. But it took a 21-yard TD pass from Jones to Stills with 14 seconds in the first half to go ahead just 14-6.
The dominant Sooners caught a break in the third quarter.
Iowa State's Jeremy Reeves got a hand on Jones' try into the end zone. But Reeves' deflection only made it easier for Brown to grab Jones' third touchdown pass of the day.
The Cyclones answered quickly, as Jarvis West scored on a 19-yard end-around run to pull them within 21-13. Oklahoma systematically wore down Iowa State's defense, running 68 plays through three quarters, and Clay's 18-yard TD run made it 28-13 Sooners with 2:04 left in the third quarter.
It was the 10th time Jones has thrown for 400 yards in his illustrious career, and the Sooners converted on nine of 14 third downs.
Oklahoma was held scoreless in the first quarter for the first time this season. But Iowa State couldn't keep Jones and the Sooners off the board forever, as Jones threw a 20-yard TD pass to Sterling Shepard with 10 minutes left in the first half to give Oklahoma a 7-0 lead.
Jones completed 16 of his first 22 passes. But his 23rd and 24th tries landed in the waiting arms of Iowa State safety Durrell Givens.
The Cyclones turned their good fortune into field goals of 27 and 51 yards by Edwin Arceo late in the second quarter. Settling for three points instead of seven, however, came back to haunt Iowa State.
A pair of strong runs by Clay convinced Oklahoma to take a crack at the end zone with under a minute left before the break. Jones hit Brown for 40 yards and Stills for a 21-yard TD, and the Sooners went ahead 14-6 at halftime.
Iowa State played its first game without star linebacker Jake Knott. He was the Big 12 defensive player of the week in a win over Baylor despite a shoulder injury that will cost him the rest of the season.
Damien Williams, Oklahoma's leading rusher with 581 yards entering play, didn't start after injuring his ankle last week.
Williams has just 7 yards on three carries. But Oklahoma still had no trouble thumping an opponent it has owned for generations.
The Sooners are now 70-5-2 against Iowa State and a perfect 8-0 under Stoops.
The last time the Cyclones beat Oklahoma in Ames was in 1960 -- three days before John F. Kennedy was elected president.

pork pie hat from topshop// eyes top from oasap// trousers from matalan // bag from jessica buurman // shoes from yeswalker
Hello, so it has been a while huh, I've got to admit I'm not exactly the best at keep this blog on track. So this is another outfit of mine that I adore, both the top and trousers are so comfortable to wear! This eyes top is like a thin sweater so I can wear a denim chambray underneath it to give it a bit of colour, I don't know what people might think when they see this top since it can probably be associated with the "Illuminati"... but I just like wearing it because it's coooool!
I have also recently discovered a suitable bag for college, it's from Jessica Buurman. I have previously chosen a few other bags but none of which were big enough for me to fit my folders in! Dark red is my favourite colour of all time so that was pretty much the main reason why I chose this bag. There are separated compartments so it makes it much easier to dig for bits and bobs in your bag!

App Services supports four levels of authentication, but only one of them is used when checking a registered user's permissions. The other three levels are useful for authenticating other application or web clients that require higher-level access to your App Services application or organization. Because the scope of access that the other authentication levels provide is so broad (and as a result, so powerful), it's a bad practice to use them from a mobile app. Instead, they're better suited to other client apps, such as web applications.
Configuring authentication levels
Access permissions can only be configured for the 'application user' – this can be done both programmatically and in the admin portal. The application, organization and admin clients cannot be configured, and can only be accessed programmatically via the API.
For more about creating and managing roles and permissions for application users, see Managing access by defining permission rules. For a look at how security features fit together, see App Security Overview.
User authentication level
|Authentication Level
|Application user
This is the standard authentication type you will use to implement user login for your app. The application user level allows access to your App Services application as governed by the permission rules you create and associated with users and user groups. For more on setting permissions see Managing access by defining permission rules.
Each Application User is represented by a User entity in your App Services application. For more about the User entity, see Working with user data.
Admin authentication levels
|Authentication Level
|Application client
Grants full access to perform any operation on an App Services application (but not other applications within the same organization).
Authentication at this level is useful in a server-side application (not a mobile app) that needs access to resources through the App Services API. For example, imagine you created a website that lists every hiking trail in the Rocky Mountains. You would want anyone to be able to view the content, but would not want them to access the App Services API and all your data directly. Instead, you would authenticate as an application client in your server-side code to access the data via the API in order to serve it to your website's visitors.
|Organization client
Grants full access to perform any operation on an App Services organization.
This authentication level provides the greatest amount of access to an individual organization, allowing a client to perform any operation on an App Services organization and any applications in that organization. This level of access should be used sparingly and carefully.
|Admin user
Allows full access to perform any operation on all organization accounts of which the admin user is a member.
This authentication level is useful from applications that provide organization-wide administration features. For example, the App Services admin portal uses this level of access because it requires full access to the administration features.
Unless you have a specific need for administrative features, such as to run test scripts that require access to management functionality, you should not use the admin user authentication level.
