It may be time to bid farewell to $6 and $7 corn. USDA's estimates are showing support for much lower prices.
An average corn price near $4 is a great contrast to recent prices of $6 and $7. But, that's what seems to be in the cards.
During its annual Agricultural Outlook Forum this week, USDA released estimates showing a dramatic drop in corn and soybean prices.
Here are the agency's crop price predictions for 2013/14:
- Corn: $4.80 (-33.3% drop from 2012/13)
- Soybeans: $10.50 (-26.6% drop from 2012/13)
- Wheat: $7.00 (-11/4$ drop from 2012/13)
- Cotton: $15.20 (+2.0% increase from 2012/13)
Jerry Gulke, president of the Gulke Group, reminds producers that to have an average price of $4.80 this year, prices could drop even lower.
"We've been talking $4 for quite a while now," he says. Based on Friday's market close, he believes the markets are starting to believe these price predictions.
A key reason prices will drop is the possible return to normal production. Joe Glauber, USDA Chief Economist, says the outlook for 2013 calls for a rebound in crop yields. "This will result in record production levels for corn and soybeans, and by autumn 2013, lower prices for most grains and oilseeds."
Here are USDA's forecasts for 2013 acreage mix:
- Corn: 96.5 million acres (-0.7% from 2012)
- Soybeans: 77.5 million acres (+0.4 from 2012)
- Wheat: 56.0 million acres (+0.5% from 2012)
- Cotton: 9.8 million acres (-19.0% from 2012)
"High grain and oilseed prices support another year of large plantings for wheat, corn and soybeans. Combined acreage for those crops topped 230 million acres in 2012, the highest since 1982, and will likely approach similar levels for 2013," Glauber says.
Gulke believes more corn acres will be planted, than USDA is estimating.
Regardless, he says, average yields this year are not needed. "This is different from the last two years, in that we've cut demand. We're setting here, with demand being curbed, and incentivizing the entire world to plant corn and soybeans."
Gulke says that farmers should be aware of the information released by USDA this week, but also realize these numbers will likely be changed with the March 28 Prospective Plantings reports.

There are six varieties of dachshund: the smooth-haired, with a short, glossy coat; the long-haired, with a soft and silky coat; the wire-haired, with a short, harsh coat; and miniatures of each of these types. The color may be black or chocolate marked with tan, or various shades of solid red. Originally bred to hunt badgers, the dachshund was later used on a wide variety of small ground game. The 12-lb (5-kg) miniature variety was perfected to hunt hares. Today the dachshund is raised primarily as a house pet. See dogdog,

a breed of hunting dog used for hunting such animals as badgers, foxes, and raccoon dogs in their burrows. Dachshunds have long bodies, very short legs, tapering heads, and drooping ears; the tail is swordlike.
The dachshund has been known since antiquity—as early as 2000 B.C. in Egypt. The modern large-sized, medium-sized, and miniature breeds were developed in Europe, principally Germany, in the middle of the 18th century. In the USSR, large-sized dachshunds (16–27 cm tall at the shoulder) in three varieties are bred for hunting: smooth-coated, long-haired, and wire-haired. The coat may be reddish brown, brown, black, or dappled gray. Dachshunds are also bred in many countries as pets.

Louis Henry Wagner began a diary, really a set of what turned out to be four leather-bound diaries, when he was 15 years old. The diaries document some of the milestones, good and bad, that occurred in his life. The diaries are important records of the events in the Wagner and Breithaupt families during the latter half of the 19th century as well as providing an interesting perspective on the life of a young man living in Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario, Canada during that pre-cable television, pre-video game era.
Louis began his diaries on December 15, 1872. His accounts of life at that time are filled with church services that were clearly at the centre of the family's life, completing a range of chores and errands like "fetching" hides for the Breithaupt's Eagle Tannery or loads of hen dung for use as fertilizer, and fishing with his cousins. Christmas 1872 is described as a time of for church services in the morning and the evening. In between, the family "had a splendid turkey for dinner." Louis received a 'cravat' from his mother Margaret (Hailer) Bean (previously Wagner) and her sister "Aunt [Catherine (nee Hailer)] Breithaupt (pictured above right in 1907)." In addition, he received 25 cents from "Grandmother Breithaupt" [Barbara Catharina Goetze].
Louis was born in Grove, New York, USA in 1857. When he was only one year old, his father Jacob died, just a couple of months after moving the family to Berlin, Ontario. Louis' mother, Margaret re-married in 1862, shortly after Louis' fifth birthday. Interestingly, among all of his recording of the family member visits to his home and trips being taken by family members to neighbouring towns and villages to visit relatives, Louis always refers to his mother's second husband, Daniel Bean, as "Mr. Bean" and never references him as his step-father. While I can't assume that there were any problems between Louis and Daniel Bean, the references don't suggest to me a close relationship.
By the time Louis had begun his diaries he was living with the Breithaupt family, his Uncle Louis Breithaupt and Aunt Catherine along with their children, Louis' cousins. It is clear from many of Louis' early diary entries that he felt a particular affection for his Aunt Breithaupt. In early December 1872, Aunt Breithaupt gave birth to her ninth child, Catherina Louise 'Katie' Breithaupt. Aunt Breithaupt, as Louis consistently referred to her as, experienced a tough time recovering from the childbirth. As Louis described in his January 2, 1873 entry, "I had to go along to Preston with the teams to fetch hides today. Aunt Breithaupt was very weak this evening. Johnny [cousin John Christian Breithaupt] and I had to go and fetch Doctor Bowlby. We brought Aunt Brehler [referring to Harriet Brehler (nee Hailer)] along out. When we came home Aunt Breithaupt had given them all a farewell in this world, she thought she had to die, but she got better again."
In addition to describing the gradual recovery to good health of Aunt Breithaupt, Louis left behind a record of weather reports for his southern Ontario town and a unique glimpse into teenage life during a time long past.

Allah says: "As We began the first creation, We will repeat it. (That is) a promise binding upon Us. Indeed, We will do it" (Al-Anbiyâ&": 104).
The Resurrection: is a firm truth proven by the Qur&"an and the Sunnah of the Prophet as well as the consensus of the Muslim scholars. Almighty Allah says: 15- Then indeed, after that you are to die. 16- Then indeed you, on the Day of Resurrection, will be resurrected (Al-Mu&"minûn: 15-16).
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: &"The people will be assembled on the Day of Resurrection barefooted and uncircumcised&" (Agreed upon).
There is a consensus among Muslim scholars that the Resurrection is an affirmed matter. It is a result of Allah&"s wisdom that He sets a certain day on which He rewards them for what He has commanded them to do through His messengers. Almighty Allah says: "Then did you think that We created you uselessly and that to Us you would not be returned?" (Al-Mu&"minûn: 115).
Allah said to His Messenger (peace be upon him): "Indeed, (O Muhammad) He who imposed upon you the Qur&"an will take you back to a place of return" (Al-Qasas: 85).

Migraines are throbbing headaches that last from 4 to 72 hours, usually on one side of your head. They may be triggered by certain foods or smells.
They may cause nausea and vomiting. And light may make the pain worse. Some people have an aura—like seeing wavy lines or flashing lights—before the headache starts.
Although migraines are painful, they can often be treated with pain medicines and sometimes with medicines to prevent the headaches.

5/2 – 5/4/08: Camp Pouch, Staten Island
Our trip to Camp Pouch on Staten Island, NY wasn't like most of Troop 48's trips. Usually, we would go camping deep in the woods, not 10 minutes from a major city like New York City. Our plan was to go to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island on Saturday and to leave Sunday morning. Three people were staying through Sunday to ride in the Five Borough Bike Tour through New York City. The trip was interesting, despite feeling a bit like a school field trip. When we arrived we quickly unpacked and took a night hike. After a little bit of walking we stumbled upon a graveyard. We would have explored the graveyard further, but we decided that some people may not be very respectful to the dead.
On Saturday morning we ate a breakfast of almost perfect half-cooked pancakes and sausage. Then, we made our bag lunches, and started towards the parking lot for the drive to the Staten Island Ferry. The ferry passed the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island in the New York Harbor. Upon arriving in Manhattan, we purchased our tickets, then into the hour or so long wait in line to board the ferry, which would take us to the islands. During the hour wait we took a quick visit to Castle Clinton. Castle Clinton was the immigration center before Ellis Island. Over 1 million people went through Castle Clinton. Also during the wait we talked to this black guy who sang songs and gave advice. He told us that if we talk to black people we would go to heaven. The Final interesting thing that happened during that wait was Blake got to play this cool drum, complementary of a local musician. Finally after going through the over protective security, Troop 48 began its journey into history. At first glance the Statue of Liberty looked amazing. It was a tall outstanding statue in the distance, a historical symbol of our county. At the statue we all got pictures in front of it, and we went through the exciting gift shop. After an hour or so there, we set off to Ellis Island. At first I only saw the main building, but as I looked around I noticed how big of a complex it was. The main building there was full of exhibits, there were tons of them. My favorite was the one with all the olden artifacts from the people who came over. Then, we took a quick stop at Ground Zero. The mood, of one most important place in recent history, was very solemn and honoring. I felt like I was part of something important as I stood there watching them build a new building in the Twin Towers place. When we finished there we trudged back to the cabin. After a filling dinner of pasta we went to bed ending our trip to New York City.

Benjamin P. Gulak necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 169 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
BPG - Motors
am a 20 yr old engineering student at MIT.
I recently started a company which is developing an all electric motorcycle/unicycle called the Uno. The project started out as a highschool science fair project and has evolved into a full time job.
I have always loved motorcycles havign grown up watching OCC, Monster Garage and Junkyard Wars. My grandfather was an engineer and I spent countless hours playing around in machine shops as a kid. I like extreme sports and have also started another extreme sports company which builds these really cool ATVs.
My favorite kind of music is house and trance.
School is not necessarily my thing, but i see it as an amazing opportunity. But my real passion is pursuing these projects of mine.
The Uno first became public a year ago when the magazine "Popular Science" chose it as the invention of the year for 2008 and placed it on their cover. Since then, the Uno has graced magazines and newspapers around the world including the wallstreet journal, The New Yorker, The Chicago Times, National Geographic etc.
for more information google : the uno, ben gulak uno
The target audience for the site is pretty broad. The Uno hits quite a few categories including:
- motorcycle enthusiasts
- green activists (people who are eco friendly)
- urban commuters
I see the target user base for the Uno being the 18-30 yr demographic. People who live in overpopulated and dense cities who are looking for a small compact urban commuting vehicle which is still cool.
The design aesthetic of the bike is critical for me. I wanted to design something which is not only interesting from an engineering standpoint, but also something which is exciting and sexy.
I hate the idea the being green isn't cool and wanted to rectify that.
The real target market for the Uno is countries in Europe, Asia and SOuth America. Places where motorcycles, mopeds and small vehicles are an accepted and integrated mode of transportation already.
completely open ended here. I want something completely new.
Our company builds motorcycles as well as Uno's so it might be cool to have a logo that shows a transformation between an Uno and a motorcycle?
- original type face only
I'm leaving this open to the designers.

Review: 'August: Osage County' Gives Unbeatable Performances But Slips Up in the Dark Comedy
Weinstein Company via Everett Collection
Forget the television commercials that try to reduce August: Osage County to either some madcap romp or some cheery family comedy. This film is dark. Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Tracy Letts, who adapted his script for this big screen version, the black humor of the play does not necessarily translate on screen. Instead, it feels like a bleak downward spiral of a family so full of bitterness and resentment, it's on the verge of implosion.
As directed by John Wells, the film version of August: Osage County may not feel like a fun movie, but it's a terrific study of a family on the brink. As he steers the drama to slow-burning heights, anger both repressed and unchecked coil around each other like two boa constrictors trying to consume the other. The lengthy conversations swell to epic confrontations that are a sight to behold.
The cast offer up sincere performances that take the story to another arena that's more heartbreak than humorous. Violet (Meryl Streep) first appears on screen with short-cropped gray, scraggly hair, chain smoking while both cursing and sweet-talking her husband (Sam Shepard) in a drunken stupor as he attempts to hire service aide Johnna (Misty Upham). "Are you an injun?" Violet asks her.
Violet is an old time "casual racist." But she also has mouth cancer and a habit of abusing pain killers. She seems constantly on the edge of boiling over. She can't seem to bear her proximity to the end while everyone else watches. Hell hath no fury like a narcissist on the edge of death.
Weinstein Company via Everett Collection
The target of much of her anger falls on, but is not limited to, her three daughters. She treats eldest Barbara (Julia Roberts) as a threatening equal (dad's favorite), Ivy (Julianne Nicholson) with passive-aggressive disdain and the youngest, Karen (Juliette Lewis), with mean, outright insignificance. It's such a varied pallet of abuse that it would be decadent if it didn't come off as so cruel. All actresses hold their own, feeding off Streep and the rich script, which offers up one skeleton after another in the family's history of unresolved issues.
Streep's work in August: Osage County could be among the best of her many great performances. She plays an unlikable, often cruel character, which is all the more reason to appreciate how she can turn the angry, abusive matriarch into a sympathetic woman. In the end, your heart will break for what she knows have been missteps in raising a family. Too egotistical a wretch to rise above her failures for a kind word, she seems to clash with her own zealous pride, which gradually unravels through the course of the film.
Wells, who comes to this film — his second feature — after directing several episodes for the Showtime dysfunctional family series Shameless, also seems inspired by the source material. He dresses up the mise-en-scene appropriately. The film's washed out browns and yellows capture the rotting malaise of a family barreling toward disintegration. The music is moving in parts, if somewhat manipulative. This is an emotional roller-coaster of a film.
Ultimately, as it's based on a play, August: Osage County is about performances. Wells gives the actors plenty of room to tear into the material, even if it fails to rise to the play's black comedy. But who cares if August: Osage County does not necessarily pull that off? It instead offers a rather twisted, morose family drama that features some of the year's best acting turns.

MOVIE REVIEW- Down the... I'll have another movie, please
Hollywood professionals can crank out a movie like Made of Honor in their sleep– but that doesn't mean they should.The setup, for those who haven't seen the trailer, is that Tom (Patrick Dempsey) is a womanizer with a strict set of dating rules (e.g., "I don't do back-to-backs," i.e., dating the same woman on consecutive nights) to help him avoid commitment. He can't even say "I love you," except to a dog. He doesn't want to be like his father (Sydney Pollack), who is marrying for the sixth time.
Tom's best friend is a woman, Hannah (Michelle Monaghan). They're a perfect couple but have been friends for so long– ten years– they don't realize they're in love with each other.
If you're a completist you'll want to see the opening sequence, which shows how they met in college when Tom climbed into bed with Hannah by mistake because he had a date with her roommate.
What's it going to take to make Tom realize he needs Hannah? How about a six-week separation while she goes to Scotland on business? It works for him. He realizes, "Maybe there's more to life than just sleeping around," and tells his basketball buddies he's going to pop the question as soon as she returns.
Trouble is, she returns with a Scottish fiancé in tow. Colin (Kevin McKidd) is not only tall and presumably handsome, if you like the type, but he's a duke, and his noble family owns the biggest distillery in Scotland. That's as much as we ever learn about Colin (except when the guys at the gym see "that monsta thing of his!"), who isn't developed into a full-fledged character; he's just an obstacle for the hero to overcome.
Hannah asks Tom to be her "maid of honor," because if he were getting married she knows he'd want her to be his "best man." He accepts, incurring the wrath of Melissa (Busy Phillips, trying to be a young Jennifer Coolidge), one of her bridesmaids, who already hates Tom because she's one of his sexual discards.
Melissa sabotages Hannah's shower, letting Tom take the fall. His friends tell him the way to win Hannah is to be "the best maid of honor ever," so he steps up his game, going to Scotland to help her with the wedding.
It's by-the-numbers from there on, and not particularly clever. This movie's Scots are not funny people, and while you don't expect too much attention to detail, someone might have noted that real Scotsmen don't wear anything under their kilts, and when it's 3am in Scotland it's not broad daylight in New York.
Dempsey manages to be likable without breaking a sweat, and Monaghan is always good but never memorable from one film to the next. They keep Made of Honor from being a total loss.
"When someone makes a mistake, and it's not your place to interfere," Hannah tells Tom, "you say, 'I'm happy you're happy.'" Some people who shell out their money to see Made of Honor will actually enjoy it, and I'm happy they're happy.

A 48 hour bender of coke and booze and pot is probably not what this A list reality star from an A list reality show needed in her life.
She has always had issues with coke and booze and needs rehab but the show needs her filming to keep the money train rolling.
She has been able to cope in the past but her drug use is getting out of hand.
I wouldn't be shocked if someone has photos or video of the 48 hours they are going to sell showing her using.

Why I am upset over this video of new Soulcalibur V character Leixia being played during Paris Game Week?
It's not the missing moves or unfinished command set of the demo version of Leixia. It's not the similarities between the character and her mother, continuing Soulcalibur's tradition of creating offspring characters with very familiar moves.
It's that Xianghua, the character that first appeared as a 16-year-old girl in the original Soulcalibur, has had children. I realize we're skipping ahead a good number of years here, but damn. Now I feel even older than I already do. Somebody get me my Dreamcast and a catheter bag.

This here is a craving buster. I felt like spicy fried chicken so decided to make a version I could eat, and it turned out so good ❤ I freestyled, but recorded what I think is the recipe below in the comments so I can remember it 😊It's gluten, dairy & egg free #popcornchicken #friedchicken #craving #balance #weekend #kfc #glutenfreelife #spicy
Healthy entertaining ❤ I wanted to be able to stick to my health kick, still put out good food with friends over, but not have things I can't eat on it so I'm tempted to cheat. This platter was so good, there is homemade trout pate, smoked trout & cashew cheese, with lots of fresh veggies & some gluten free crackers. Delicious food and I didn't feel like crap afterwards or break out in hives. Loved it. #platter #platters #platterboard
I found a recipe for a trout pate with no dairy or egg and began dreaming of this combination. Entertaining on the weekend I added this to my healthy platter and the combo was as good as I imagined. Today I'm having it for lunch with the extra little jars of pate I made up. Trout pate with lemon & dill cashew cheese on cucumber slicer and topped with caviar ❤#glutenfree #eggfree #dairyfree #allergyfriendly #healthy #healthyentertaining #healthyeating #healthychoices #yum #delicious #canapes #fingerfood
I wasn't sure what to do with the fresh curry leaves I had, so I fried some as a garnish and it totally made this soup. The recipe for this Pumpkin, Carrot, Ginger & Turmeric Soup is up on the blog. Link in bio

Yankees Trying To Get Centered…
The Yankees starting center fielder is…
TBA on Thursday. Seriously? The word is that manager Joe Girardi will announce his starting center fielder on Thursday. He had been toying with playing Granderson in left and Brett Gardner in center, but c'mon, there is really no choice but to start Granderson in center. The higher risk player is Gardner, and if he fails in center, it would be tougher to move Granderson from left to center than it would be to just find a replacement left fielder assuming that Gardner is named to start in left as expected. I suspect that Randy Winn will see a fair amount of playing time, as will Marcus Thames if he makes the roster…and starts to hit (something that he has been unable to do this spring).

Everyone was amazed with the switch-pitching of prospect Pat Venditte this week. The 24-year-old has no hope of making the final roster, and I've always heard that he is not a legitimate major league prospect, but it was still an interesting story. I enjoyed reading the rules about ambidextrous pitchers. I am sure that they had to blow off the dust to find these:
MLB Rule 8.01 (f), regarding ambidextrous pitchers
A pitcher must indicate visually to the umpire-in-chief, the batter and any runners the hand with which he intends to pitch, which may be done by wearing his glove on the other hand while touching the pitcher's plate. The pitcher is not permitted to pitch with the other hand until the batter is retired, the batter becomes a runner, the inning ends, the batter is substituted for by a pinch-hitter or the pitcher incurs an injury. In the event a pitcher switches pitching hands during an at-bat because he has suffered an injury, the pitcher may not, for the remainder of the game, pitch with the hand from which he has switched. The pitcher shall not be given the opportunity to throw any preparatory pitches after switching pitching hands. Any change of pitching hands must be indicated clearly to the umpire-in-chief.
Source: mlb.com
I am still very skeptical if Venditte will ever make the major leagues, but I wish him much luck and success in his journey. It would be tremendous to have a weapon that could turn around hitters without a pitching change.

Phil Hughes found out that he'll be staying in Tampa for an extended spring training, with a first start not scheduled until April 15th. The Yankees do not need a fifth starter during the first couple of weeks of the season, and there had been talk that Hughes would be sent down to AAA until he was needed. This is probably a better and palatable solution for Hughes. Once you've made it to the Show, it's kind of hard to step back a level regardless of the circumstances.
What are the odds of hitting your mother in the stands with a foul ball? That's exactly what happened to the Minnesota Twins' Denard Span today in the Twins' 4-2 victory over the Yankees. He hit a foul ball that struck his mother in the collarbone. The hardest part for Span was watching his mother cry, but fortunately, she's okay. That was definitely a very scary and ironic story…

The Toronto Blue Jays pinned the first loss as a Phillie on former ace Roy Halladay today in the Jays' 5-2 win over Philadelphia. Okay, it wasn't an official loss, but still, there was a bit of irony that the first "loss" would come against the Jays.
Gene J. Puskar/AP
The Phillies decision to go with Doc over Cliff Lee looks much stronger given the recent health challenges Lee has experienced. I still think they should have tried to find a way to keep both, but admittedly, I do not know enough about the team's finances or infrastructure to know if that was even a possibility. Speaking of the Phils, nothing against Jamie Moyer, but I am a bit surprised that the team would go for a 47-year-old as their fifth starter over a solid 25-year-old Kyle Kendrick. Maybe Kendrick is not quite ready, but I would think his upside is much stronger. I guess there's a reason they call the NL the "senior circuit"….
It sounds like trade talks between the Boston Red Sox and Texas Rangers are heating up again involving Mike Lowell. Lowell is a favorite of my good friend Julia, but he is a man without a position thanks to the Sox free agent acquisition of third baseman Adrian Beltre. If Boston is going to pay a significant portion of his salary anyway, you'd think they would just keep him to strengthen their bench. Nevertheless, it would seem this is a trade rumor that will happen. So, Julia, I dedicate this song to you…
In the eyes of a ranger,
The unsuspected stranger
Had better know the truth of right from wrong,
Cuz the eyes of a ranger are upon you,
Any wrong you do he's gonna see,
When you're in Texas look behind you,
Cuz that's where the rangers are gonna be
Good luck to Mike wherever he lands. He is the consummate team professional and he'll be a valuable cog on any roster. Admittedly, I'd prefer to see him on anyone's roster other than Boston's…
Jim Davis/Boston Globe
It's hard to believe that the 2010 season is almost upon us. This is a great time. Every team is equal, and every fan is hopeful that this will be the year. Best of luck to everyone for what I hope will be a truly fantastic baseball season regardless of the outcome. Well, for me, a 28th Yankees World Championship would be good! J

Associated Press
Huguette in her last published photograph, in 1930, on the day of her divorce in Reno, Nevada. The heir to a copper fortune died in 2011 at 104.
A nonfiction book on the mysterious heiress Huguette Clark and her family is being written by an NBC News reporter and one of Clark's cousins.
Ballantine Bantam Dell, a division of Random House Publishing Group, has acquired "Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune," by Bill Dedman and Paul Clark Newell, Jr.
Update: The book is scheduled for publication Sept. 10, 2013. The website for the book is at http://emptymansionsbook.com.
Bill Dedman is a Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter for NBC News who introduced the public to heiress Huguette Clark and her empty mansions through his series of narratives on NBCNews.com and NBC's TODAY Show. He lives in suburban Connecticut, where he discovered the first of Clark's three vacant palaces. His narratives on the Clark family have been the most popular story in the history of NBCNews.com, topping 100 million page views. He received more than 1,000 letters and emails from readers of the Clark series, many of them confessing to an obsession with the mystery heiress. As a young woman in New York, actress Kimberly Belflower, explained to her Twitter followers: "Don't mind me, I'll just be reading about Huguette Clark for the rest of my life."
Paul Clark Newell Jr., a grandnephew of W.A. Clark, has researched the family history for 20 years, gathering a unique collection of Clark family photographs, letters and memoirs. He shared many conversations with Huguette Clark about her life and family, and accepted her invitation for a rare private tour of Bellosguardo, her $100 million oceanfront estate in Santa Barbara, Calif. A grandson of W.A. Clark's sister, Newell is Huguette Clark's cousin, not a descendant of her father, and he therefore is not a party to the legal action by relatives to inherit her fortune. He lives in the mountains of San Diego County, Calif.
Executive Editor Pamela Cannon made the deal for North American rights with agent Michael Carlisle of Inkwell Management.
Though she inherited one of the great mining fortunes of the 19th century, Huguette Marcelle Clark lived quietly into the 21st century, secluded under fake names in hospital rooms for more than two decades. Intensely shy, she was almost entirely alone. One of her attorneys represented her for 20 years without meeting her face to face, instead talking to her through a closed door.
Her father, William Andrews Clark, was one of the Copper Kings of Montana and a controversial U.S. senator, believed to be as wealthy as John D. Rockefeller in his day but largely forgotten since his death in 1925.
His youngest daughter, the reclusive heiress Huguette, became a well-known name again in the last year of her life, after her three empty mansions and sales of her personal property drew the attention of investigative reporter Dedman. Clark soon became a subject of public fascination, a trending topic of searches on Google and Yahoo, with fan pages on Facebook, though the last published photograph of her was made in 1930.
When she died in May 2011 at age 104, her obituary appeared on the front page of The New York Times. A legal battle has begun for her $400 million fortune, even as criminal investigations continue of the men who managed her money.

The world's top-ranked man beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-3, 6-1 in 54 minutes on Friday and didn't mind the brevity.
''I had plenty of tennis last two, three months,'' he said, smiling.
Juan Martin del Potro had to go the distance to upset No. 3 seed Andy Murray 6-7 (5), 6-3, 6-1 for the first time in five tries on hard courts and will play Djokovic in Saturday's semifinals. The Argentine has lost to Djokovic eight times in 10 meetings.
No. 8 Caroline Wozniacki outlasted fourth-seeded Angelique Kerber 2-6, 6-4, 7-5 in a 2 1/2-hour semifinal that included 14 service breaks, including seven in the final set. Wozniacki, who won here in 2011, will play 2006 champion Maria Sharapova, a 6-4, 6-3 winner over No. 13 Maria Kirilenko, in Sunday's final.
Sharapova (27) and Wozniacki (20) are third and fourth among active players for most titles won, trailing only Serena (47) and Venus Williams (44).
Djokovic extended his winning streak to 22 matches dating to Oct. 31, when he last lost to American Sam Querrey in Paris. The Serb is 17-0 this year, including two titles.
''When it was important, I didn't allow him to come back to the match. I didn't allow him to have an opportunity to believe that he can maybe have a break back and get back into the match,'' Djokovic said about Tsonga. ''That was very important for me to stay mentally committed throughout the whole match.''
Djokovic broke Tsonga four times and served out the match with his fourth 40-love game in the second set.
''Jo didn't play his best,'' Djokovic said. ''He made a lot of unforced errors and his serve wasn't going well so it made my life easier on the court.''
Tsonga fell to 0-11 against Top-5 opponents since beating then-No. 2-ranked Rafael Nadal in November 2011.
''I did a lot of mistakes, was tough for me to keep the ball in the court,'' Tsonga said. ''It was a day for me without sensation. Everything I tried to do, I missed it.''
Against Del Potro, Murray double-faulted for the eighth time to end the 2 1/2-hour match, missing with his second serve down the middle to get broken for the third time in the set and fifth in the match. He was playing his first tournament since losing the Australian Open final to Djokovic in late January.
''It was a tough match. There was a lot of long rallies,'' he said. ''It's very warm conditions the first set or two, and sometimes on the serve if your legs are just a little bit tired you can miss serves. Just timing might go a little bit off and you're not quite getting up to them. That's maybe what happened.''
Del Potro hadn't dropped a set in the tournament until he lost the tiebreaker 7-5 on an errant forehand. He's reached at least the quarterfinals in four of five events this year.
''He played like someone that's won a lot of matches recently,'' Murray said. ''Especially in the second and third set when the important moments came, he played well.''
Del Potro considers his wrist nearly 100 percent recovered from the 2010 injury that knocked him off the tour after he won the 2009 U.S. Open.
''I played my best match of the tournament. I was positive all the time, even when I lost the first set, tough first set,'' he said. ''I be aggressive all the time, I'm hitting all the time hard the ball with my forehands, and I play a few slices as well and drop shots.''
In the first women's semifinal, Wozniacki and Kerber resembled junior players at times as they exchanged countless moonballs. Kerber pulled a moonball wide to set up match point and then netted a forehand to end it, stopping her three-match winning streak against Wozniacki.
''I missed a lot of these balls, and, yeah, maybe next time it will be better,'' Kerber said.
Wozniacki led 4-1 before Kerber won four of the next five games to tie the third set 5-all. Wozniacki held at love and Kerber won just one point on her serve in the final game.
''I feel like I have been running and grinding and playing really well this week. I have reached a lot of balls and felt comfortable,'' Wozniacki said. ''I really enjoy going to the net. I missed a few volleys today, but it's definitely something I have been working on and something I feel more and more comfortable with.''
Sharapova earned the only two service breaks of the second set, winning the match with a forehand down the line. She hasn't lost a set in five matches so far.
''I made the first set more difficult than I had to,'' she said. ''I stepped it up in the second set.''
By reaching the final, Sharapova will move from No. 3 in the world to No. 2, overtaking Victoria Azarenka when the WTA Tour rankings come out Monday.
''It's nice,'' she said. ''Better than No. 3, right?''
Kirilenko is projected to rise to No. 13 - one spot from her career-high of 12th - after losing the biggest semifinal of her career.

With this film Paul Naschy added H. G. Wells' classic character Dr. Moreau to his list of onscreen portrayals and he does a fine job. The movie is from 2005 and was made in
Brazil so both Spanish and Portuguese languages are spoken which only adds confusion for someone just trying to read the subtitles! I'm not going to lie- A WEREWOLF IN THE AMAZON is an odd one folks- even for us. Among other strange things this film sports a pretty good werewolf; multiple gory corpses; naked lesbians; naked Amazons; age inappropriate sexual encounters; broad humor; confusing back stories; contradictory character motivations; a bizarre musical number; death by sex; ridiculous sets and a mercifully short running time. Sadly, only those with access to the 'Special Antenna' will be able to check out this late career entry in Naschy's resume but the curious will always seek these things out.
Your humble hosts prattle on about comic books, music and a host of other topics as well as the film we're supposed to be discussing. You have been warned! We get off topic early and often. Please drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com or come see us over on the NaschyCast Facebook page. And if you get the show through iTunes (and I know you do) please consider leaving us a written review over there. That would help us out a lot.

A short post with a question of counterfactual history.
The Celsius temperature scale developed by Anders Celsius (1701–1744) himself had 0 °C at the boiling point of water and freezing was 100 °C.
It had the advantage that negative numbers would not occur in normal use. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit (1686–1736) achieved this for his temperature scale by choosing the lowest temperature in his village or a brine mixture as zero. Negative numbers may well have been controversial at the time. Only in the 17th century the idea of negative numbers was accepted by western mathematicians.
The forward scale we are used to was independently developed by several of Celsius' contemporaries. What would have happened if we had kept to original Celsius scale?
In forward degrees Celsius global warming produces an upward curve. In our current culture that is associated with progress and growth.
In the original Celsius scale the same plots would look more depressing like this.
If the temperature graphs had looked like the graphs of Arctic sea ice would that have changed the course of history? Would we have taken the problem seriously in the 1990s?

Global warming in the original Celsius scale

This may have been driven by the air thermometers that were in use then, where a bulb of air expanded when heated and drove a liquid column down.

Interesting idea. Even if I also suggested an explanation, thinking about it longer, I am not sure it needs one. Both directions were used at the time. The absolute zero temperature was not known yet and they did not have any traditions yet, so one direction did not feel more natural than the other, I would guess.

UConn's Lutrus to miss another game
UConn linebacker Scott Lutrus will not play Saturday when the Huskies tangle with Rhode Island at Rentschler Field (noon, ESPN360.com), head coach Randy Edsall said Thursday.
The junior from Brookfield suffered a shoulder stinger in the Huskies' season opener and will now miss his third straight game.
In each of the last two weeks, Lutrus' status has been announced as "questionable" by Edsall, though the early decision this week on his availability doesn't necessarily mean Lutrus' condition has worsened.
It's likely the Huskies (2-1) are holding Lutrus out until after their upcoming bye week.
UConn's Big East opener is Oct. 10 at Pittsburgh.
In other injury news, UConn defensive end Lindsey Witten missed practice Wednesday with a stomach ailment, though Edsall said he's probable for the Rhode Island game.
Tackle Mike Ryan has a shoulder injury, but he, too, is probable, according to the coach.
Although quarterback Zach Frazer and tight end Ryan Griffin will both miss their second straight games with injuries, it seems as if wide receivers Kashif Moore and Michael Smith will both play against the Rams. Moore's shoulder injury and Smith's knee injury have healed to the point they are both probable.

Ko petitions to join LPGA
(SportsNetwork.com) - Teenager star Lydia Ko has petitioned the LPGA Tour for membership.
Per LPGA policy, players need to be 18-years-old to be a full member, but may petition commissioner Michael Whan to join the tour full-time before their 18th birthday.
Ko won't turn 17 until late April.
"The LPGA has received Lydia Ko's petition and the commissioner plans to review it upon his return from Asia. The decision on the petition will be solely up to the commissioner's discretion and upon his review, he will communicate directly with Lydia and her family," the LPGA said in a statement. "The LPGA does not comment publicly on petitions as they are a private matter between the player and the commissioner."
Ko has won the Canadian Women's Open each of the last two years, and won the 2013 New Zealand Women's Open, which was co-sanctioned by the Ladies European Tour and Australian LPGA. She also finished second at the Evian Championship, which became the LPGA Tour's fifth major this season.
With six top-10 finishes on the LPGA Tour in 2013, Ko's stellar play has helped her soar to fifth in the Rolex World Rankings.
Lexi Thompson petitioned the tour in 2011 and was granted full membership for 2012 when she was 17 years old. She won the Navistar LPGA Classic as a 16- year-old, a year after finishing second at the then-named Evian Masters.

PSB Image Series Speaker System
Quick, which do you think would be more difficult to do: design a cutting-edge, no-compromises speaker or design a speaker that gives the best possible performance for a very affordable price? While coming up with a mind-blowing design without any cost boundaries is undoubtedly a daunting challenge, I would argue that producing a loudspeaker that can deliver killer results for a very affordable price is much harder. Making great budget speakers involves the art of compromise, knowing where you can save money without sacrificing the sonic results you're after.
In many ways, big companies with extensive resources have a major advantage when it comes to building speakers to a price. Small, independent manufacturers often have very talented designers with great ideas; however, when trying to hit a certain price point, there's no doubt that making tens of thousands of speakers at a time is more cost-effective than making a few hundred. Small companies usually have to use off-the-shelf parts, while bigger ones can tool up to make customized parts in big-enough numbers to be very economical. This thinking, however, can be taken too far: The biggest speaker companies tend to make products that appear to be designed to maximize their profit instead of your enjoyment.
PSB occupies a perfect middle ground between these two extremes. They're big enough to make most of the components they use in-house yet small enough to still believe that performance is what really counts. Paul Barton (the P and B of PSB; the S is for his wife Sue) is a man who believes in fine-tuning his designs, relying heavily on Canada's National Research Council facilities in Ottawa. It is here—using a combination of objective testing in an anechoic chamber and double-blind listening tests—that Barton makes his final voicing decisions. The approach is clearly successful: PSB speakers have the enviable reputation of delivering exceptional performance for the money. Prior to this review, I wasn't exactly a PSB virgin, but all of my experience had been with their ridiculously affordable Alpha Series (June 2000). So, I was eager to hear what PSB could deliver for a little more money.
The Image Series lies in the middle of PSB's lineup, between the super-affordable Alpha Series and their top line, the Stratus Series. The real trick behind the Image Series is that Barton has used a modular approach, designing 10 different models using only four basic modules. Each speaker uses either 5.25- or 6.5-inch woofers and comes with or without a tweeter on a molded baffle that has been specially designed to minimize resonance and diffraction. By combining these elements in different ways, Barton has developed a full line of sonically consistent speakers, which makes it easier for the consumer to put together a system without having to worry about whether or not the speakers will sound right together.
I dove right in at the top of the Image Series line with the Image 7PT, a speaker that looks like a two-way tower with three woofers but is really much more cleverly designed than that. This tall, slim tower clearly demonstrates the Image Series' modular nature, as its three modules stack up to form an impressive-looking monolith. My review samples were black, but this speaker is also available in a decent-looking "genuine imitation" cherry. Because it's tall, heavy, and narrow (only 8 inches across), the 7PT comes with outrigger bars on the base that widen its stance, making it less susceptible to being toppled by errant toddlers or dogs.
Although the three 6.5-inch drivers look the same, the tweeter and top woofer operate as a passive two-way speaker, while the bottom two drivers form a powered subwoofer driven by an internal 130-watt amplifier. The amplifier gets its signal either from the speaker-level signal that feeds the top drivers or from a low-level RCA input on the back. Generally, I prefer to use the speaker-level hookup, since this eliminates any chance of getting things out of phase and often results in a more-harmonious blend between the passive and powered parts of the speaker. One big plus of a powered tower is that you can get terrific wallop in the bass, even if you're still using that wimpy little 50-watt receiver you got for Christmas two years ago.
Often, the first thing to be compromised on a lower-priced speaker is the rigidity of the cabinet. The Image Series speakers are quite large for the price, yet the cabinets feel impressively solid. No, it's not exactly like rapping your knuckles on a bank vault; let's say it's more like a solid-wood door. By using molded-plastic baffles for the modular drivers, PSB has reduced the resonance in the critical baffle area, and the baffle incorporates a carefully radiused curve to reduce diffraction, which improves imaging.
The Image 9C center-channel speaker uses the same metal-dome tweeter as the 7PT, flanked by two of the 6.5-inch woofers. This thing is pretty huge for a $400 center, and its size allows it to play very loud and quite deep. If your shelf space is at a premium, you might want to consider the smaller 8C model. For some reason, both center-channel models are only available in the black finish. Perhaps the company assumes that a black speaker will blend in better on top of your TV set.

2015 KTM 125 EXC Six Days
The KTM 125 EXC Six Days was especially developed for the famous enduro competition the International Six Days Enduro.
The motorcycle's backbone is represented by a modern frame comprising lightweight, high strength, chrome-molybdenum steel section tubes. The frame houses a 124.8 cc, 1 - cylinder, 2 - stroke, water - cooled, engine with reed intake and exhaust control. It is also worthy of being mentioned that for 2015, the engine receives new carburettor tuning. Its power is transferred to the ground by means of a 6 speed claw shifted transmission.
The bike's speed is kept in leash by a set of high-tech brakes from Brembo which include a new floating front brake disc and a solid rear brake disc. There is also a new front brake disc guard for the MY 2015.
Hit the jump for more information on the KTM 125 EXC Six Days.
2015 KTM 125 EXC Six Days
Engine:1-cylinder 2-stroke engine, water-cooled, with reed intake and exhaust control
Displacement:124 cc
Top Speed:68 mph (Est.)
For The Toughest Missions
The 125 EXC Six Days is "READY TO RACE " for the world's largest enduro competition, the "International Six Days Enduro". Six days in succession, over a thousand offroad kilometres, 40 hours in the saddle - a gruelling test, not only for the rider. A whole package of high-quality special options makes the KTM 125 EXC Six Days fit for this ruthless contest, in which more than half the starters bank on KTM every year. No other brand is anywhere near as strong and successful in offroad sport. In 2013 the fastest rider overall was once again on a KTM. The Six Days will take place in Argentina in 2014 and the KTM model range has been updated accordingly to be equipped for everything that the South American terrain has to offer. In the form of the new Six Days models, KTM offers well-proven, robust machines that fully satisfy the high demands of this extraordinarily tough competition.
2015 KTM 125 EXC Six Days Key features:
Superior Chassis:
Individual Suspension Setting
Each EXC model has its own individual suspension settings, optimally tuned to weight and engine. At the rear, a PDS shock absorber from WP Suspension works with a direct linkage to the upper side of the swingarm. The PDS shock absorber has been updated with a new Monoseal gasket for MY 2015, for improved sealing and easier maintenance. The wide range of setting options for rebound damping and high- and low-speed compression damping are standard on KTM bikes.
Telescopic Fork
The KTM Six Days models are equipped with a 48 mm 4CS closed-cartridge fork from WP Suspension. The 4-chamber technology (4CS) patented by WP not only provides a key benefit in terms of responsiveness and consistent damping characteristics, it is also lighter and oil services prove to be far simpler than on the conventional closed-cartridge versions. Naturally, the setting can easily be adapted to track and rider in a matter of a few clicks at the top of the fork: compression damping on the left-hand shaft, rebound damping on the right - another advantage of the 4CS technology.
The modern frame design of the 125 EXC Six Days, comprising lightweight, high strength, chrome-molybdenum steel section tubes, combines maximum longitudinal stiffness with optimum torsional stiffness. It guarantees easy handling and precise steering behaviour, as well as excellent ride stability. The frame clearly represents the benchmark in terms of weight and stability.
The cast aluminium swingarm has been developed with state-of-the-art calculation and simulation software and constructed, in terms of design and wall thickness, for minimum weight with optimum stiffness and precisely defined flexibility.
Triple Clamp
Meticulously finished triple clamps, machined from a solid block: Not only do they look classy in anodised orange; they are also designed in such a way that they support the responsiveness and sliding behaviour of the new fork with their special shaping.
High Quality Wheels
The high-quality alloy wheels from GIANT made of extremely stable 7050 aluminium, featuring exclusive Six Days lettering and CNC-machined hubs, are standard on all KTM Six Days models. Developed in cooperation with KTM, the Metzeler tyres provide excellent traction, very precise directional control and a long service life. An additional Six Days standard feature: the Supersprox 2-piece rear sprocket with steel outer ring and aluminium star.
High-tech brakes from Brembo have always been standard equipment on KTM offroad bikes and, together with the floating front brake disc new for 2015 and the solid rear brake disc, they are the measure of all things in terms of brake technology. The new front brake disc guard ensures that it stays this way.
The engine of the KTM 125 EXC Six Days receives new carburettor tuning for MY 2015 in order to achieve better and more uniform power development.
Performance Aplenty:
The airbox on the KTM 125 EXC Six Days allows maximum air to pass through, but minimal dust and spray. Replacement of the twin-air filter takes approx. 15 seconds, without any tools. Absolutely "READY TO RACE".
Slim Ergonomics For Perfect Control:
The KTM 125 EXC Six Days has bodywork with extremely slim ergonomics and excellent contact points between rider and machine. It provides unlimited freedom of movement. For MY 2015, the bike excels again with the graphics restyled in 2014 in the colours of the ISDE in Argentina.
The 125 EXC Six Days is equipped with a tapered Neken handlebar made from high-strength aluminium alloy. In accordance with the proven KTM standard, the handlebar can be fixed in a choice of four positions. The handguards are made from a new material in MY 2015 in order to achieve even greater impact resistance.

Fishermen encounter great white shark off Fla.
FORT PIERCE, Fla. – A group of fishermen encountered what appears to be a great white shark off the coast of Fort Pierce.
The group of men woke up early to go spear-fishing 12 miles off the coast. One of the fishermen jumped into the water, and the first thing he saw was a shark staring back at him.
Another of the fishermen, Steve Maldonado, said that as his friend was getting out of the water, he could see a fin following the man back to the boat.
The fishermen scrambled out of the water and into the safety of the boat. Maldonado said they could see the shark circling their vessel in the crystal-clear water.
At first, they thought the shark may be a giant bull shark or a tiger shark with no stripes, but they wanted to be sure, so they took a video.
The shark followed the group for 20 minutes.
When they returned to land, the men looked at the video on a computer and singled out some still frames of the shark, which they said is almost definitely a great white.
