Current Position
Position Date: 2010-10-10 08:10:02
Position Latitude: 28.0056
Position Longitude: 86.8579
With over 40 days since I left home and several weeks until I return, I am at that weird point in the expedition where all my other life starts to fade away. Whatever other existence I lived no longer has utility here. My hopes, dreams and future plans still exist, they are just tucked safely away. My attention is devoted to only this moment. Maria, unfortunately, faces the brunt of this condition - although I suspect she experiences some similar emotions. Time for me now is only a series of instants.
I might feel a little more melancholy about my situation if I hadn't experienced this so many times before. Both in the Arctic and Antarctic, a weird calm settles over my psyche around day 40. With few other distractions, it is just you and your mind. My physical and mental energy shift into survival mode as the disconnect between my life on the expedition and the rest of the world grows.
Please have some fun for me, but don't tell me about it right now. I don't want to know.
Tshering and I continue to explore the differences in our cultures. Supermarkets, parking lots, laundry There is no real beginning, end or purpose in our discussions, we are simply connecting the dots between opposite sides of the planet. In understanding how we are different, we are, in the same instant, finding common ground.
I spent some time the other day thinking about all the things that expeditions have taught me. There are a lot of lessons to be learned out here, but they are rarely written in black and white. Decisions, I have learned, sometimes unfold slowly. It would have been easy let my sore back dictate the outcome of our climb. Instead, my wait and see philosophy paid off. Time can be as much of a friend as an enemy.
My senses, still have not dulled to the grandeur of this place. Each loud rumbling sends me racing outside the tent looking for the slow motion cascade of snow, ice and rock. Avalanches are as regular as clockwork here, yet their force continues to capture my attention. At night, I listen to the loud cracks and pops triangulating the sound to determine, in my mind, exactly which piece of ice is fracturing.
I have developed a new hobby, if that is possible here. For, the past couple days, I have been hiking into Gorakshep and watching all the trekkers coming and going. It is an interesting contrast to my life at base camp, and if nothing else, uses several hours of my afternoon. After an hour or so, put on my pack and head back to base camp. Sun setting, alpine glow, narrow trail. There are rarely any trekkers left and my mind drifts serenely enjoying each step.

From Portland to Yellowstone then Ark.
After a visit to my local AAA office (not to be confused with AA, I'm still in the denial phase you see), on the top of my desk is a map with highlighted with a tentative route. My MP3 player is loaded up with The Doobie Brothers, Bee Gees and Dr.Dre; music, check. Dry bag loaded with camping gear, check. Thanks in part to the collective knowledge of ADV, equipment,.. check, for now, until I'm far from home.
The time I have for this trip is fairly flexible but like most of us, budget is not. I've been reading a lot of threads about how to sleep on the cheap, and reading the threads about estimated costs vs "actualized" costs is adding a bit of pee to my cheerios already. In any case, although I'm seasoned rider, this will be my first ever cross country trip.
I would welcome your advice on the following. In return, I plan on contributing some of my own gained knowledge as the result. E.g. "Crap, the Aero Press doesn't work so well as a BBQ flavor injector."
1. Nice, quiet but cheap places to stay on the way. (Due to budget, campgrounds preferred but will more than likely stay at hotels every third or fourth day)
2. Critique my route, offer alternatives, places I need to see along the way.
3. Tips and wisdom (i.e., money saving tips, possible pitfalls, gained perspectives from life on the road).
My route, a rough draft: From Portland, OR take 84 then 12 to Missoula, take 90 to Yellowstone (visit Cody while there), drop down 287 to Ogden, then take 6 to Moab (Arches, Canyonlands), take 191 town to Monument, then down to Sedona past Flagstaff. Here's where my planning turns a bit grey: Take 40 all the way to Ark past Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma City into Ark? Looks like a good straight path from there. I've not planned fully the return route but hope to have enough lembas bread left for the trip home.
I'd like to thank YFFS in advance for your help and assistance.

Just got back from Yellowstone.
Two things:
1. Buffalo may view motorcycles as challenging their herd. We got stuck on the road with 30-50 buffalo snorting walking by us. We didn't move a muscle. They are bigger than cars, in the rut, and have calves. Don't get caught like we did. We were almost famous on the internet!
2. It's only a little out of the way and can be done in a half day. Cody, WY north to Cheif Josephs highway, over the Beartooth pass and drop into Redlodge, MT. Then back up and over the pass. That's a awesome ride.
In Columbus, MT (along I-90) there is a free city campground along the Yellowstone river. Quit nice, they supply free firewood too.

What I'd do....
40 Will get you there quick, but why the interstate? If it were me I'd stay a little north and ride 160 accross Colorado and Kansas. I've ridden the stretch from the state line to Pagosa springs. When you get to Springfield MO head south on 125 then pick your way how ever far into Arkansas you want to go. You could check out the Canyon De Chelly in North East AZ on the way and tell me about it.
I can't find my maps but I remember riding in the mountians in New Mexico between Roswell and Santa Fe. That was nice, you will end up kinda far south, but if you do go check out the alien stuff. Santa Fe/Taos is scenic, but crowded.
Bad news is Kansas isn't much fun to cross. Neither is Oklahoma. At least anyway I've done it.

Where in Arkansas you ending up? That'd sure help on the route planning. If you do want to ride the slab across OK to Springfield (I sure wouldn't), I'd be happy to wave as you go down 125.
If you hit Ark from far SE Ok, there's some killer riding down there too

Savory Tomato Basil Penne Kugel
I have always loved the comforting taste of the classic sweet noodle pudding of which kugel is characteristic. I created this dish to recreate it in a new dimension of a side dish which would complement any meal using some lighter ingredients. The use of tomatoes and their compliment, basil, adds a fresh taste and reflect the flavors of Italy that my husband and I love.
- Ready Time : 0 min
- 1 - 16 oz. boxes Penne Pasta
- 4 oz. Neufchatel Cheese softened
- 2 Cloves large Garlic pressed
- 1 1/2 cups Light Sour Cream
- 1 1/2 cups Cottage Cheese low-fat
- 4 whole Eggs slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup Asiago Cheese divided use
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper freshly ground
- 1/4 cup Fresh Basil chopped
- 1 cup Plum Tomatoes fresh, seeded, chopped
- 1/2 cup Wheat Germ toasted
- 2 tablespoons Pine Nuts
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil optional
Heat oven to 350º F. Spray a 13 x 9-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain. Meanwhile, with electric mixer, beat neufchatel cheese until creamy. Mix in garlic and sour cream. Stir in cottage cheese and eggs until thoroughly mixed. Add 1/4 C. grated asiago cheese, black pepper, basil and tomatoes. Mix in pasta noodles, by hand. Pour into prepared pan. Bake in 350º oven for 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together wheat germ, remaining 1/4 C. grated asiago cheese and pine nuts. Remove noodle kugel from oven and sprinkle wheat germ mixture over top. Return pan to oven and bake for additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.
Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting into squares. If desired, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil.

Melanoma of the uveal tract (iris, ciliary body, and choroid), though rare, is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. The mean age-adjusted incidence of uveal melanoma in the United States is approximately 4.3 new cases per million population.[1] The age-adjusted incidence of this cancer has remained stable for the past 50 years.
Uveal melanoma is diagnosed mostly at older ages, with a progressively rising age-specific incidence rate that peaks near the age of 70.[1] Host susceptibility factors associated with the development of this cancer include Caucasian race, light eye color, fair skin color, and the ability to tan.[1,2] In view of these susceptibility factors, numerous observational studies have attempted to explore the relationship between sunlight exposure and risk of uveal melanoma. To date, these studies have found only weak associations or yielded contradictory results.[1] Similarly, there is no consistent evidence that occupational exposure to UV light or other agents is a risk factor for uveal melanoma.[1]
Uveal melanomas can arise in the anterior (iris) or the posterior (ciliary body or choroid) uveal tract. Iris melanomas have the best prognosis, whereas melanomas of the ciliary body have the worst. Most uveal tract melanomas originate in the choroid. The ciliary body is less commonly a site of origin, and the iris is the least common. The comparatively low incidence of iris melanomas has been attributed to the characteristic features of these tumors, i.e., they tend to be small, slow growing, and relatively dormant in comparison with their posterior counterparts. Iris melanomas rarely metastasize.[3] Melanomas of the posterior uveal tract are cytologically more malignant, detected later, and metastasize more frequently than iris melanomas. The typical choroidal melanoma is a brown, elevated, dome-shaped subretinal mass. The degree of pigmentation ranges from dark brown to totally amelanotic.
Most uveal melanomas are initially completely asymptomatic. As the tumor enlarges, it may cause distortion of the pupil (iris melanoma), blurred vision (ciliary body melanoma), or markedly decreased visual acuity caused by secondary retinal detachment (choroidal melanoma). Serous detachment of the retina frequently complicates tumor growth. If extensive retinal detachment occurs, secondary angle-closure glaucoma occasionally develops. Clinically, several lesions simulate uveal melanoma, including metastatic carcinoma, posterior scleritis, and benign tumors, such as nevi and hemangiomas.[4]
Careful examination by an experienced clinician remains the most important test to establish the presence of intraocular melanoma. Ancillary diagnostic testing, including fluorescein angiography and ultrasonography, can be extremely valuable in establishing and/or confirming the diagnosis.[5]
A number of factors influence prognosis. The most important are cell type, tumor size, location of the anterior margin of the tumor, the degree of ciliary body involvement, and extraocular extension. Cell type, however, remains the most often used predictor of outcome.[6] The selection of treatment depends on the site of origin (choroid, ciliary body, or iris), the size and location of the lesion, the age of the patient, and whether extraocular invasion, recurrence, or metastasis has occurred. Extraocular extension, recurrence, and metastasis are associated with an extremely poor prognosis, and long-term survival cannot be expected.[7] The 5-year mortality rate caused by metastasis from ciliary body or choroidal melanoma is approximately 30%, compared with a rate of 2% to 3% for iris melanomas.[8] In a group of patients with large tumors of the choroid or choroid and ciliary body, the concurrent presence of abnormalities in chromosomes 3 and 8 was also associated with a poor outcome.[9]
In the past, enucleation (eye removal) was the accepted standard treatment for primary choroidal melanoma, and it remains the most commonly used treatment for large tumors. Because of the effect of enucleation on the appearance of the patient, the diagnostic uncertainty encountered by the ophthalmologist (particularly in the case of smaller tumors), and the potential for tumor spread, alternative treatments, such as radiation therapy (i.e., brachytherapy or external-beam, charged-particle radiation therapy), transpupillary thermotherapy, photocoagulation, and cryotherapy have been developed in an attempt to spare the affected eye and possibly retain useful vision.[10,11] One of the clinical trials of the randomized Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study compared iodine 125 (125 I) episcleral-plaque brachytherapy to enucleation in treating patients with medium-sized choroidal tumors.[12] Eighty-five percent of the patients treated with 125 I brachytherapy retained their eye for 5 years or more, and 37% had visual acuity better than 20/200 in the irradiated eye 5 years after treatment.[12] No significant differences in mortality were observed between the two study arms after 12 years of follow-up, whether considering death from all causes or death with histopathologically confirmed melanoma metastasis.[13]
Primary intraocular melanomas originate from melanocytes in the uveal tract.[1] Four distinct cellular types are recognized in intraocular melanoma (revised Callendar classification):[2]
Most primary intraocular melanomas contain variable numbers of epithelioid, spindle A, and spindle B cells (mixed-cell melanomas). Pure epithelioid-cell primary melanomas are infrequent (approximately 3% of cases).[1] In the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study, mixed-cell type melanomas predominated (86% of cases).[3]
Several microscopic features can affect the prognosis of intraocular melanoma, including cell type, mitotic activity, lymphocytic infiltration, and, possibly, fibrovascular loops.[1] Cell type remains the most often used predictor of outcome following enucleation, with spindle A cell melanomas carrying the best prognosis and epithelioid cell melanomas carrying the worst.[1,4]
Tumor Size
Uveal melanoma most often assumes a nodular or dome-shaped configuration, but occasionally tumors can be flat or diffuse and involve extensive areas of the uvea with little elevation.
Tumor size classifications according to boundary lines are as follows:
In clinical practice, the tumor base may be estimated in average optic disc diameters (1 dd = 1.5 mm). The average elevation may be estimated in diopters (3 diopters = 1 mm). Other techniques, such as ultrasonography, should be used to provide more accurate measurements.
An important function of ophthalmic ultrasonography is the detection of extrascleral extension.[5,6] Extrascleral extension measuring 2 mm or more in thickness can invariably be demonstrated provided it is located behind the equator where the intraocular tumor, sclera, and adjacent orbital fat are readily imaged.[7] Orbital extraocular extension of choroidal melanoma may be found in eyes with medium and large tumors, but it is very rare in eyes with small melanomas.
Metastatic Disease
Because the uveal tract is a vascular structure without lymphatic channels, tumor spread occurs principally by local extension and by dissemination through the blood stream. If regional preauricular, submandibular, or cervical lymph node involvement is seen, subconjunctival extension of the primary tumor has occurred.[8]
Systemic metastases are generally hematogenous in origin, and the first site identified is usually the liver.[9] Lung, bone, and subcutaneous sites are also common.[9] In the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study trials, the liver was the only site of detectable metastasis in 46% of patients with metastases reported during follow-up or at the time of death; 43% had metastases diagnosed in the liver and other sites.[9] In patients with a history of ocular melanoma who present with hepatic metastases of unknown origin, metastatic melanoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
It is particularly unusual for choroidal melanomas of any size to invade the optic nerve or its meninges.[10] Metastasis of choroidal melanoma to the contralateral choroid is also rare.[9,11]
Other Classification and Staging
An American Joint Committee on Cancer staging system has been developed for melanoma of the uveal tract,[12] and its widespread utilization has been advocated.[13]
Melanocytic stromal proliferations of the iris are the most common tumors of the iris. Clinical differentiation between an iris nevus and a melanoma might sometimes be difficult and at times impossible. Melanomas of the iris are usually small discrete lesions, though occasionally, they may be diffuse, infiltrative, multiple, and they may result in heterochromia, chronic uveitis, or spontaneous hyphema. Iris melanomas that involve more than 66% of the angle circumference are associated with secondary glaucoma.[1]
Routine evaluation of iris melanomas includes gonioscopy, transillumination of the globe, and indirect ophthalmoscopy with 360° of scleral depression. Photographic documentation is essential to document progression in size or growth of the tumor.[2] Anterior segment fluorescein angiography may be helpful to demonstrate the vascularity of the lesion but is not diagnostic. High-resolution ultrasound biomicroscopy can be used to measure small lesions (basal dimensions and thickness) and to assess tumor involvement of the anterior ciliary body, angle, and overlying sclera.[3] The main disadvantage with this technology is its limited penetration of large lesions. In these cases, conventional ultrasonography is more accurate.
In general, iris melanomas have relatively good outcomes, with a 5-year survival rate of more than 95%. Iris melanomas are predominantly of the spindle cell type and are usually smaller in size than posterior melanomas because of earlier detection. Clinical features, including prominent tumor vascularity, rapid growth, and heterogeneous pigmentation, are associated with an epithelioid cell component.[4] Involvement of the iridocorneal angles is frequently associated with ciliary body invasion.[4]
Conservative management is generally advocated whenever possible, but surgical intervention may be justified with unequivocal tumor growth and with extensive disease at initial examination.
Standard treatment options:
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with iris melanoma. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
General information about clinical trials is also available from the NCI Web site.

Melanoma involving the ciliary body is a rare tumor that carries a poor prognosis. This malignancy is often diagnosed late, and in some cases, diagnosis may be difficult because of similarity to other eye diseases. The differential diagnosis of ciliary body melanoma should be considered in cases of unilateral pigmentary glaucoma and chronic uveitis.[1]
Ultrasound biomicroscopy can be used to evaluate tumor shape, thickness, margins, reflectivity, and local invasion.[2,3] Patients with tumors greater than 7 mm in thickness are at increased risk for metastatic disease and melanoma-related death than patients with thinner tumors.[4]
There are several options for management of ciliary body melanoma. The choice of therapy, however, depends on many factors.
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with ciliary body and choroid melanoma, small size. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
The natural history of small choroidal melanoma remains poorly understood. Small, pigmented choroidal lesions cannot always be differentiated reliably on examination. Growth is a presumed indicator of malignant potential.[1]
Although patients diagnosed with small choroidal tumors were not eligible for participation in the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study, these patients were offered participation in a prospective follow-up study to evaluate the natural history of small lesions. Two-year and 5-year tumor growth estimates of 21% and 31%, respectively, were reported.[2] Clinical risk factors associated with tumor growth included increased tumor thickness, presence of subretinal fluid, orange pigmentation, absence of drusen, absence of retinal pigment, margin at the optic disc, and epithelial changes surrounding the tumor.[2,3]
The 5-year melanoma-related mortality rate in patients treated for small choroidal melanomas has been reported as high as 12%.[4,5] Several studies indicate that the two most important clinical factors predictive of mortality are larger tumor size (at the time of treatment) and documentation of tumor growth.[6]
Typical features of the tumor on ophthalmoscopy, fluorescein angiography, and ultrasound examination of the eye contribute to the clinical diagnosis. Accuracy of the tumor thickness measurement by echography is an important issue with very small tumors. Wide-field photography is helpful to detect the rate of choroidal tumor growth.[7] Although these techniques have improved the diagnostic differentiation of larger size melanomas, the accuracy of diagnosis for small melanomas is more uncertain. Furthermore, smaller tumors may not produce symptoms, depending on their location with respect to the macula, and may go undetected unless discovered during the course of a routine eye examination.
The management of small choroidal melanomas is controversial. The likelihood of progression from the time of diagnosis to growth warranting treatment has not been well characterized. In the past, many ophthalmologists advocated observation. This was justified on several grounds, including the difficulty in establishing a correct diagnosis, the lack of any documented efficacy for globe-conserving treatments, and concerns for severe treatment-related morbidity. Some investigators have advocated earlier therapeutic intervention, since smaller tumor size at the time of treatment appears to be associated with lower mortality rates.[3,8,9]
The management of choroidal melanomas depends on many factors; most important are tumor size and location.[10] In otherwise healthy patients, a small choroidal melanoma in the posterior fundus is amenable to several treatment options, including radiation therapy, laser photocoagulation, transpupillary thermotherapy, a combination of these methods, or even enucleation.[10,11,12,13]
Enucleation remains the standard therapy for most large choroidal melanomas and melanomas that cause severe glaucoma or invade the optic nerve. One of the two clinical trials of the Collaborative Ocular Melanoma Study (COMS) compared preoperative external-beam radiation therapy plus enucleation to enucleation alone in patients with large choroidal tumors to address the concern that enucleation might precipitate tumor metastasis and shorten survival.[1] After 10 years of follow-up, the cumulative all-cause mortality rate for each treatment arm was 61%. In addition, the 10-year rates of death with histopathologically confirmed melanoma metastasis were not significantly different (45% in the pre-enucleation radiation arm and 40% in the enucleation-alone arm, P = .40).[1][Level of evidence: 1iiA]
Episcleral radionuclide plaque brachytherapy and external-beam, charged-particle radiation therapy offer patients eye-sparing and vision-sparing alternatives to enucleation.[2,3] Both treatment approaches result in relatively slow regression of uveal melanoma during a period of 6 months to 2 years. Most tumors regress to approximately 50% of their original thickness; only occasionally does a tumor regress to a completely flat scar.[2] Local control is achieved in a large proportion of treated eyes with either technique. The probability of visual preservation and of eye retention with either method is related to tumor size and location.
Plaque brachytherapy is the most frequently used eye-sparing treatment for choroidal melanoma. Iodine 125 (125 I), gold 198 (198 Au), palladium 103 (103 Pd), and other ophthalmic plaques can be effective in the treatment of medium-sized melanomas.[4,5,6,7]125 I is the most commonly used isotope because of its good tissue penetration, accessibility, adequate shielding of the source, and lesser risk to other ocular structures and medical personnel. Methods to ensure proper plaque placement are critical to successful radiation therapy.[8,9,10,11,12]
Results from the second COMS clinical trial, which compared 125 I plaque brachytherapy to enucleation in patients with medium-sized choroidal tumors, revealed no significant difference in cumulative all-cause mortality between the two study arms at 12 years of follow-up (43% for 125 I plaque brachytherapy vs. 41% for enucleation; risk ratio = 1.04; 95% CI, 0.86–1.24).[13][Level of evidence: 1iiA] In addition, the 12-year rates of death with histopathologically confirmed melanoma metastasis did not differ significantly between the 2 study arms (21% in the 125 I brachytherapy arm and 17% in the enucleation arm, P = .62). Among the patients treated with 125 I brachytherapy, 85% retained their eye for 5 years or more, and 37% had visual acuity better than 20/200 in the irradiated eye 5 years after treatment.[14]
Charged-particle radiation therapy can be performed with a proton beam or helium ions.[15,16] Some investigators report better tumor control with helium ion irradiation than with 125 I episcleral plaque treatment in terms of local tumor control and eye retention; however, more anterior segment complications are found.[15,17]
Another radiation therapy technique occasionally employed but not as extensively studied is Gamma Knife surgery. Preliminary evidence suggests that Gamma Knife surgery may be a feasible treatment option for medium-sized choroidal melanomas.[18]
Tumor growth pattern is a factor in the therapeutic decision. If there is a diffuse melanoma or if there is extraocular extension, enucleation should be considered, but radiation therapy can be employed for less extensive disease.
Medium-sized choroidal melanomas
Large choroidal melanomas
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with ciliary body and choroid melanoma, medium/large size. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
Extrascleral extension usually confers a poor prognosis. For patients with gross tumor involvement of the orbit, treatment requires orbital exenteration often combined with preoperative or postoperative radiation therapy; however, there is no evidence that this radical surgery will prolong life. Most patients with localized or encapsulated extraocular extension are not exenterated. This subject is controversial.[1,2,3,4,5]
No effective method of systemic treatment has been identified for patients with metastatic ocular melanoma.[6]
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with extraocular extension melanoma and metastatic intraocular melanoma. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.
The prognosis for any patient with recurring or relapsing disease is poor, regardless of cell type or stage. The question and selection of further treatment depends on many factors, including the extent of the lesion, age and health of the patient, prior treatment, and site of recurrence, as well as individual patient considerations. Clinical trials are appropriate and should be considered whenever possible.

Wheat lost ground last week, with most of the losses coming in the winter wheat exchanges (because of harvest pressure). Minneapolis fared better, as slow planting progress and less wheat acres in Canada help limit losses. For the week ending June 27, September Minneapolis dropped 8.5 cents, September Chicago dropped 31.25 cents and September Kansas City dropped 34 cents.
Wheat started the week lower with pressure spilling over from the lower corn market. Additional selling was tied to a disappointing export shipments estimate. The winter wheat exchanges were the worst performers, extending the session losses because of better-than-expected yield reports. Minneapolis' losses were limited by position squaring ahead of Statistics Canada's acreage report. Early estimates are showing less wheat and more canola.
The June 25 session also showed wheat struggle, with much of the selling tied to the advancing harvest. A sloppy performance in corn added to the losses. Minneapolis did see some early session support from the Statistics Canada report. Statistics Canada estimated Canada's total wheat acreage at 25.9 million acres, up 9 percent from last year. Spring wheat acres are estimated at 19.1 million, an increase of 13 percent from last year. Position squaring ahead of the June 28 U.S. planted acreage report and quarterly grain stocks report was also seen.
Wheat traded in a mixed fashion June 26 and 27. The winter wheat contracts were under pressure from harvest progress, as yield estimates in Kansas City are coming in better than expected. Minneapolis was able to limit its losses from production concerns, as planting progress continues to lag behind the five-year average. Additional market activity was centered on position squatting ahead of the acreage and quarterly grain stocks reports. Early trade estimates have wheat's quarterly grains stocks at 750 million bushels, compared with 743 million for last year. Wheat's planted acreage estimate has all wheat acreage at 55.75 million, compared with 56.4 million in March. Spring wheat acreage is estimated to be at 12.12 million, compared with 12.7 million in March.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture's quarterly grain stocks report was friendly for wheat, as stocks were slightly tighter than expected. USDA estimated wheat stocks as of June 1 at 718 million bushels, compared with expectations of 745 million and 743 million for last year at this time. The planted acreage estimated had mixed news for wheat. The all wheat acreage estimate was at 56.5 million, 600,000 acres more than expected, but only 9,000 more than estimated in the March report. Spring wheat acreage was estimated at 12.3 million, 17,000 acres more than the traded expected, but 400,000 less than expected in March.
As of June 23, 96 percent of the nation's spring wheat crop was planted, compared with 92 percent the previous week and 99 percent for the five-year average. Ninety percent of the nation's spring wheat was emerged, compared with 84 percent the previous week and 97 percent for the five-year average. Spring wheat's crop condition rating improved 2 percent to 70 percent good to excellent, 25 percent fair and 5 percent poor to very poor. Winter wheat harvest is estimated at 20 percent complete, compared with 11 percent the previous week and 37 percent for the five-year average.
The corn market was choppy last week as traders looked forward to the quarterly USDA report. The weather was also non-threatening and the longer-term forecast looks favorable for development of the crop. As of noon on June 28, the July contract gained 6 cents and December was down 44 cents for the week.
Corn traded lower to start the week. Weakness came from the negative outside markets. The export inspections were poor and at a five-month low. The futures were lower again on June 25 from an improvement in corn's crop condition rating. Weather forecasts are expected to be non-threatening in the next two weeks for most of the Corn Belt, as it will be cooler and drier. The futures were slightly lower again on June 26, with a favorable long-term weather forecast for crop development
New crop corn closed lower for the sixth day in a row June 27. Traders were positioning ahead of the USDA report, which was bearish for corn. Traders expected a drop in planted acreage as a result of the wet planting season, but USDA actually increased the planted acreage estimate to 97.38 million, 2 percent more than traders expected and about equal to the March estimate. This is the largest acreage number since 1936. The bright side of the report was that stocks were below estimates at 2.76 billion bushels.
The crop progress report showed 96 percent of the corn is emerged versus 100 percent one year ago and a five-year average of 100 percent.
Soybeans traded with gains last week with most of the support coming from strong old crop demand, as well as position squaring ahead of USDA's reports. For the week ending June 27, July soybeans were up 55.25 cents, while November was 1.75 cents higher.
Soybeans traded lower through much of the day June 24 before a late push to close mostly higher and near the highs of the day. June 24 export inspections were bullish, coming in above the amount needed to keep pace with USDA's projection.
Soybeans traded higher June 25, as old crop supplies remain tight and late planting concerns linger. The June 24 crop progress report saw planting progress below market estimates, and wet conditions will make planting the final 5 percent of the crop difficult. The July contract was the leader, as commercial demand for old crop continues and the basis remains strong. Statistics Canada released a report June 25, increasing soybean acreage to 4.59 million acres, up from 4.15 million acres last year.
Soybeans traded mixed on June 26 and 27 ahead of USDA's acreage and grain stocks reports. Strong support was seen in the July contract, tied to tight old crop supplies and short position liquidation. November was lower both days with a more favorable five-day forecast. June 27 export sales were bullish, coming in above the amount needed to reach USDA's projection. USDA announced a sale of 172,500 metric tons of soybeans to unknown destinations for 2013 and 2014 delivery.
USDA released the June acreage report June 28. Soybean acreage was pegged at 77.73 million acres, compared with 78.02 million expected and up from 77.13 million acres in March. The June quarterly stocks report pegged soybeans at 435 million bushels, compared with 441 million expected and 998 million in March.
Planting progress as of June 23 had 92 percent of the U.S. soybean crop planted, compared with 85 percent the previous week and the five-year average of 95 percent. Soybean emergence as of June 23 was at 81 percent, compared with 66 percent the previous week and the five-year average of 89 percent.
USDA estimated barley stocks as of June 1 at 80.3 million bushels, an increase of 34 percent from last year. Barley acreage for 2013 was estimated at 3.48 million, 4 percent less than expected in March.
As of June 23, 93 percent of the nation's barley had been planted, compared with 92 percent the previous week and 98 percent for the five-year average.
June 27 cash feed barley bids in Minneapolis were at $4.95 per bushel, while malting barley bids were $7.
USDA estimated durum stocks as of June 1 at 23.5 million bushels, a decline of 8 percent from last year. Durum acreage for 2013 was estimated at 1.54 million, 10 percent less than traders expected and 12 percent lower than expected in March.
As of June 23, 93 percent of North Dakota's durum crop was planted, compared with 88 percent the previous week and 91 percent for the five-year average.
Durum emergence was at 81 percent, compared with 76 percent the previous week and 88 percent for the five-year average.
Cash bids for milling quality durum were at $8.25 per bushel in Berthold, N.D., while Dickinson, N.D., bids were at $8.20.
Canola futures on the Winnipeg exchange closed the week ending June 27 with $14.30 (Canadian) losses. Canola started the week sluggish as a result of position squaring ahead of Statistics Canada's acreage report. But this was overshadowed late in the session by spillover support from a higher U.S. soybean market. Late week pressure was from improving crop conditions and reports of a near-complete planting season. Pressure was also from traders rolling position out of July and into future contracts (July is in delivery).
Canola acreage for 2013 was estimated at 1.31 million, 21 percent less than expected in March. North Dakota canola acreage is expected to be 860,000, a decline of 30 percent from the March intentions.
As of June 23, 85 percent of North Dakota's canola crop had been planted, compared with 71 percent for the previous week and 96 percent for the five-year average. Emergence was at 64 percent, compared with 54 percent for the previous week and 93 percent for the five-year average.
June 27 old crop cash canola bids in Velva, N.D., were at $26.11 per hundredweight, while new crop bids were $23.54.
Dry beans
As of June 23, 88 percent of North Dakota's dry bean crop had been planted, compared with 66 percent the previous week and 99 percent for the five-year average.
Minnesota producers reported planting progress at 95 percent complete, compared with 86 percent the previous week and 100 percent for the five-year average.
All sunflower acreage for 2013 was estimated at 1.567 million, 7 percent less than estimated in March. Oil sunflower acreage is estimated at 1.268, 9 percent less than in the March intentions report.
As of June 23, 78 percent of the nation's sunflower crop had been planted, compared with 55 percent the previous week and 89 percent for the five-year average.
June 27 old crop cash sunflower bids in Fargo, N.D., were at $22.80 per hundredweight, while new crop bids were $23.35.

Leechburg Man Sentenced To Prison For Fraud Scheme
PITTSBURGH, Pa. - Acting United States Attorney Robert S. Cessar announced today, May 6, 2010, that Raymond Pugliese, a resident of Leechburg, Pennsylvania, has been sentenced in federal court in Pittsburgh to 38 months in prison, a $5,000 fine, and three years of supervised release on his conviction of Conspiracy, Mail Fraud, and Money Laundering.
United States District Judge David S. Cercone imposed the sentence on Pugliese, age 57.
According to information presented to the court by Assistant United States Attorney Brendan T. Conway, Pugliese and Michael Smarto participated in an insurance fraud and kick back scheme. Smarto operated a company, Tippins Projects, Inc. Some of the company's equipment was damaged in a September 2004 flood that was caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ivan. Pugliese operated a company, Mastek Industries, Inc., that cleaned and refurbished the flood-damaged equipment.
Unbeknownst to the insurance company, Smarto and Pugliese had agreed to fraudulently increase the quotations to be submitted by Pugliese's company by more than $400,000. Pugliese prepared the fraudulent quotations that Smarto provided to the insurance company.
The insurance company, based in part on the fraudulent quotations, paid Tippins Projects, Inc. for the work done by Mastek Industries, Inc., and Tippins Projects, Inc., in turn, paid Mastek Industries, Inc. Pugliese then arranged to kick back to Smarto more than $320,000 through wire transfers to two other corporations controlled by Smarto but otherwise unrelated to the insurance claim.
Mr. Cessar commended the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service for the investigation leading to the successful prosecution of Pugliese.
Protect yourself from fraud, and report suspected cases of financial fraud to local law enforcement.

Vice President Biden Talks About the American Jobs Act with First Responders
Yesterday, the Vice President traveled to Philadelphia to participate in a roundtable about the American Jobs Act with Chiefs of Police from the region.
Alongside Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter, Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy Gil Kerlikowske, and more than 10 local police chiefs, the Vice President underscored how the piece of the American Jobs Act the Senate is considering this week would put thousands of cops back on the job.
"I call on the members of Congress to step up this week. Step up and make a choice. Make a choice. Make a choice for the people in your district. Should they have more teachers back in school? Should they have more police on the beat? Should they have firefighters in the firehouse? Or should you save a millionaire from a $500 tax? Ladies and gentlemen, it's that basic and that simple."
The Chiefs told the Vice President about the devastating impact budget cuts have had on their communities. Chief Scott Thomson of Camden, NJ, had to lay off 168 officers – nearly half of his force – in January of this year. In the wake of those layoffs, Camden has seen a 14 increase in violent crime, and homicide has risen 30 percent.
The story echoed what the Vice President heard last week in Flint, Michigan – a city that has also seen an uptick in crime and a significant increase in police response times after cutting their police force in half since 2008. Today, we released a video that shows what Flint's first responders say the impact of the American Jobs Act would be:

In an air-cooled graphite channel in which heat is being generated by oxidation, the length of channel cooled is a function of the heat transfer coefficient. No diameter effect other than that accounted for by the heat transfer coefficient was observed. Cooling rates and temperature differences (between the graphite and air) vary very slowly in the cooled section of the channel. Temperature changes vary rapidly with time in the section of channel in which more heat is generated than is removed by the air stream. These changes do not affect the cooled section of channel.

Did a bug ever fly in your mouth? Usually, the story ends there. You spit it out. Goodbye, bug. But sometimes — gulp! — you might swallow it so it ends up in your stomach. Less often, someone might inhale a bug into the lungs.
You have probably heard that old children's song "I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly." Most people don't swallow flies. But we know of someone who's sure she swallowed a tiny gnat. Another boy had a close call when a yellowjacket flew out of his can of soda and into his mouth while he was taking a sip. (He spit it out before getting stung.) And would you believe that someone said she inhaled a lightning bug and could feel it in her lungs?
There are two paths a swallowed bug might take:
If the bug ends up in your stomach, it will get mashed up and digested just like any other food. And whatever's left of it will "come out the other end" when you go to the bathroom. It's gross, but unlikely to cause you any more trouble.
If you feel like you inhaled the bug and you think it could be in your lungs, tell a parent or another adult. Usually this will make you cough and feel a little uncomfortable. Your mom or dad will want to check with your doctor. Unlike your stomach, your lungs won't digest the bug.
In your lungs, the bug will get trapped in a layer of slimy mucus. Maybe you're thinking "Gross, there's slime in my lungs!" But it's good to know the mucus is there for a reason. It protects your lungs and airways from situations just like this one. The mucus helps your lungs stay clear so that you can breathe properly. In other words, no bugs allowed!
