Twins Decline Option on Scott Baker Making Him a Free Agent
The Twins declined to pick up the $9.25 Million team option on Scott Baker's contract making him eligible from free agency. The Twins would like Baker to return but not for that price. Baker missed all of the 2012 season after getting ligament replacement surgery on his elbow (Tommy John Surgery). The 31-year old Baker has a 63-48 record with a 4.15 ERA while with the Twins in his career.
Baker was a 2nd round pick by the Twins in 2003. The Twins are bringing back starting pitcher P.J. Walters. Walters agreed to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training. Walters was 2-5 with a 5.69 ERA in 12 starts for the Twins this past season.

Hillary, huh? Presidential polls, pols, and piffle
February 02. 2014 4:54PM
The polls are out! The polls are out! And if you pay any more attention to them than you do to the odds on NEXT year's Super Bowl, you may want to seek professional help.
We don't mean the polls for elections that will happen later this year, although even these need to be taken with several grains of salt.
We mean the presidential polls. They are becoming as thick as fleas at the circus and are just about as useful. A lot have to do with name recognition and little else at this stage. But people who are paid for these polls and the companies or groups who are paying for them feel the need to promote them to the rafters and to opine on their supposed deep meanings.
We let most of this go out with the next day's tide but we were surprised by a UNH pollster's comment last week about his poll. It showed more than 80 percent of Democrats here favoring HIllary Clinton. His conclusion? Hillary doesn't have to come to New Hampshire.
First, her stature is certainly more than name recognition. But we are skeptical of the conventional wisdom that anyone can be a given for a presidential nomination so far in advance. A lot of things can happen between now and then.
Second, it is wrong to say Madame Clinton need not come to New Hampshire. That kind of attitude could backfire and we think she and her team are smart enough to know it.

Pac-12 Basketball Fantasy League: Recapping Round OnePosted by Connor Pelton on June 2nd, 2012
In an attempt to pass time throughout the long summer months without basketball, eight Pac-12 writers will be attempting something different this offseason. Beginning this week, the following Pac-12 writers (in first round drafting order) will participate in a fantasy style snake draft of the all-time Pac-12 players and coaches:
1. Andy Wooldridge (Building the Dam)
2. Jack Follman (Pacific Takes)
3. Ben Knibbe (UW Dawg Pound)
4. Connor Pelton (Rush the Court)
5. Drew Murawa (Rush the Court)
6. Mark Sandritter and Jeff Nusser (CougCenter)
7. Adam Butler (Pachoops)
8. David Piper (Addicted to Quack)
The purposes of the fantasy league are: (1) to determine the top 80 players and eight coaches to have ever played/coached for a current Pac-12 school, and (2) to have fun and pass time throughout the long summer months without anything but MLB and soccer. The only guidelines for the draft are that a coach must have been a HEAD COACH at a current Pac-12 school to be eligible, while players have had to PLAYED at a current school to be eligible. After the draft, all eight teams will be placed into a bracket and will advance based on a vote by you, the readers. So far, one round of the draft is complete. We recap it below.
Round One
#1 (Andy Wooldridge) – Kareem Abdul-Jabbar/Lew Alcindor, Center, UCLA
No question on this one. Two-time Player of the Year, three-time First Team All-American, three National Championships, and three NCAA Tournament Most Outstanding Player awards make Abdul-Jabbar/Alcindor an easy choice at number one.
#2 (Jack Follman) – Bill Walton, Center, UCLA
Walton's accomplishments are very similar to that of Abdul-Jabbar's. Walton was named Player of the Year twice, was a three-time First Team All-American, and won a pair of National Championships. While Jabbar was a no-doubter at number one, Walton was the easy second choice.

In Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep on the PSP, long before Sora was chosen by his Keyblade, the worlds' safety lay in the hands of Keyblade Masters. Three youths – Terra, Ventus, and Aqua – have been training long and hard under Master Eraqus to prove that they, too, exhibit the Mark of Mastery. But they will soon find themselves in the middle of a crisis affecting worlds far beyond their own – just as another Keyblade Master, Xehanort, goes mysteriously missing. Three friends, three destinies. Everything will link back to the beginning.

For Release: June 10, 2004
Commissioner Librera Praises Independent Assessment of High School Graduation Test;
Vows Further Improvements to Ensure a World Class Education for All Students
Commissioner of Education William L. Librera has praised the findings by an independent nonprofit organization recognizing that New Jersey's new graduation test is doing a better job of preparing graduates for life after high school. The findings were released today in a report, Do Graduation Tests Measure Up?: A Closer Look at State High School Exit Exams, prepared by Achieve Inc. New Jersey was one of six states that volunteered to allow Achieve, Inc. to conduct an extensive review of its graduation test, the High School Proficiency Assessment.
"Achieve's findings validate our efforts at the state level to strengthen requirements for a high school diploma," Commissioner Librera said. "Our new graduation test is linked closely to our Core Curriculum Content Standards, which state the knowledge and skills we expect of our high school graduates."
"Governor McGreevey and I are committed to maintaining New Jersey's position as a leading state in the field of education," Dr. Librera continued. "Our willingness to subject our tests to the Achieve study is a sign of our continued commitment. We respect Achieve's findings and recommendations, and we recognize that much work remains to be done."
New Jersey joined Florida, Maryland, Massachusetts, Ohio and Texas in volunteering for the study, which is available from Achieve Inc.'s Web-site:
In general, the report released today showed that the states' graduation tests in mathematics are particularly strong in areas such as algebra, geometry and data analysis, but the tests for language arts literacy (reading and writing) should contain more challenging reading questions. These positive observations are offset with findings that mathematics tests are generally covering seventh and eighth grade materials and reading tests are often not challenging enough to meet college admission tests requirements.
The Commissioner noted that Department of Education staff will review the general findings to determine what specific changes New Jersey needs to make to improve the High School Proficiency Assessment.
The report released today commended New Jersey for the writing portion of its language arts exams, noting that New Jersey was one of the few states that actually requires samples of student writing as part of its graduation exam.
Achieve's analysis of the six states' tests recommend that they stress more challenging content, ask more challenging questions, and raise the passing scores. The report notes that more rigorous exams will probably result in lower passing rates initially, but will improve over time. Among other recommendations, the report recommends that states expand their assessments beyond a single exit exam.
Commissioner Librera noted that New Jersey has recently adopted state regulations along these lines, by authorizing schools to give students the option to demonstrate they already have learned required knowledge and skills courses in certain courses, such as world languages, that would otherwise be required for high school graduation.
"We are continually exploring ways to create multiple and diverse paths for student success, and we are pleased to see that some of Achieve's recommendations are in harmony with our objectives," Commissioner Librera said.
Achieve analyzed the 2003 High School Proficiency Assessment for its study. The HSPA was first administered to eleventh graders in the spring of 2002. Passing both sections of the test (language arts literacy and mathematics) is a requirement for a high school diploma.
Achieve, Inc. was created by the nation's governors and business leaders as a bipartisan, non-profit organization that helps states raise academic standards, improve assessments and strengthen accountability to prepare young people for postsecondary education, work and citizenship.

LONDON (AP) — The man in charge in Britain's economy says he won't change direction despite a rating agency's decision to downgrade the nation's credit rating and he spurned renewed calls from the opposition for more stimulus for a flat-lining economy.
Treasury chief George Osborne declared that the action by Moody's Investors Service redoubled his commitment to the government's police of cutting spending in an effort to reduce deficits.
But Labour Party spokesman Ed Balls said Saturday that the government should increase borrowing to give immediate stimulus to the economy.
Announcing the downgrade one notch from the top AAA to AA1 on Friday, Moody's said sluggish growth and rising debt were weakening the British economy's medium-term outlook.
Osborne had once boasted of the triple AAA rating as validating his policy, but he soft-pedaled its importance as a downgrade became increasingly likely. Two other major rating agencies — Fitch and Standard & Poor's — have Britain still at AAA but on negative watch.
Howard Archer, chief European economist for IHS Global Insight, said the expectation of a downgrade "may actually mean that there is little negative economic impact from the move."
"The negative impact for the U.K. is also likely to be limited by the fact that there are now very few countries left that have a AAA rating from all of the credit rating agencies," Archer said.
Public sector borrowing remains stubbornly high, and is forecast by the government's Office for Budget Responsibility to be around 120 billion pounds ($182 billion) for the year ending in April, little changed from the previous year.
The U.K. economy stagnated in 2012, with just one quarter of growth.
Osborne said in a statement that the downgrade was "a stark reminder of the debt problems facing our country," with a debt accumulated over the years exacerbated by Europe's economic crisis.
"We will go on delivering the plan that has cut the deficit by a quarter, and given us record low interest rates and record numbers of jobs," Osborne said.
Balls charged that Osborne was incapable of admitting a mistake.
"The plan has not worked," Balls said.
"I think the prime minister (David Cameron) is going to have to ask himself, 'how do I get change in our economic policy for the good of the nation?'" Balls added.

MEXICO CITY — Federal police have arrested two men who may be connected with the fatal shooting of a U.S. Border Patrol agent just north of the Mexico/Arizona border, a Mexican law enforcement official said Thursday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to release the information, said it was unclear if there was strong evidence linking the men to the shooting of Agent Nicholas Ivie.
Ivie and two other agents were fired upon Tuesday in a rugged hilly area about five miles (eight kilometers) north of the border as they responded to an alarm that was triggered on one of the sensors that the government has installed along the border. The wounded agent was shot in the ankle and buttocks and released from the hospital after undergoing surgery. The third agent wasn't injured.
Ivie was a 30-year-old father of two who grew up in Utah and was active in the Mormon church. He was an agent for four years.
Authorities have declined to provide other details, including what they believe prompted the shooting and whether the agents were ambushed. Still, they suspect that more than one person fired on the agents.
The last Border Patrol agent fatally shot on duty was Brian Terry, who died in a shootout with bandits near the border in December 2010. Terry's shooting was later linked to the government's "Fast and Furious" gun-smuggling operation, which allowed people suspected of illegally buying guns for others to walk away from gun shops with weapons, rather than be arrested.

A Snapshot of Contemporary Figurative Chinese Sculpture
Artsy Editorial
Cai Zhi Song draws inspiration from statues created during the Qin and Han Dynasties (221–206 BC and 206 BC–220 AD, respectively), eras of rule that defined the political structure and artistic output of his native China. Cai's life-size sculptures—depicting figures who resemble dynastic leaders, warriors, and servants—combine traditional aesthetics with contemporary forms, materials, and concepts. In his "Motherland" series, characters adorned with ancient hairstyles and clothing assume expressive, non-traditional poses and are fashioned from contemporary materials like fiberglass, resin, copper plate, and brass wire. By fusing past and present, Cai evokes themes of regionalism, globalization, and cultural exchange.

Not all Cascade Locks residents are pleased about having a tribal gambling casino site in their city.
In fact, about 20 activists have decided their rural quality of life is worth fighting for. So, they are mounting a campaign to protest the proposed gaming center that is based on numerous arguments — with facts to back them up.
"We've always been here. We've always been in disagreement with this but we've been in the background just waiting for an opportunity to be heard," said Richard Randall, chair of Cascade Locks No Casino.
He said the potential environmental, social, criminal, and traffic problems created by a casino should concern citizens Gorge-wide. Therefore, he and other No Casino members are hoping to draw support from throughout the Mid-Columbia.
"Educating people is probably the most beneficial thing we can do. So far, all we've heard is the positive side of this thing but there are a lot of negatives too," said William Mohr.
Cascade Locks No Casino has decided to inform their fellow citizens about the "other side" of a casino. Next week they are mailing out a flyer that lists a host of potential problems. In addition, they have posted a Web site, www.cl-nocasino.org that provides statistical information about the perils of gambling. Also listed is the negative economic impact on many other cities located near a tribal casino.
Opponents also point to the environmental impact of having a huge gaming center built near the city's largest wetland. And the potential for traffic congestion from a projected three million annual visitors is very likely, even if a new freeway interchange is constructed.
"People from Washington are going to cross the Bridge of the Gods and come through town and it's going to be a mess," said Donna Mohr.
Randall said for the past several years residents have been given the impression by government leaders that the casino was basically a "done deal." And they were not informed that even if Gov. Ted Kulongoski signs off on an off-reservation site, there are still avenues of appeal.
Secretary of the Interior Gale Norton has to agree with the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs' plans to build a 500,000-square-foot casino in the Port of Cascade Locks' industrial park.
"Even if the governor approves this casino, it's still possible that it won't get through the federal level so this is a critical point," said Randall. "In the past people have been pretty apathetic because they didn't think it would do any good to fight — but this isn't a done deal and we still have a voice."
He and other citizens have protested the casino at meetings of the Cascade Locks City Council but they don't believe they were heard. Randall said the quest for economic development appears to have blinded officials to the potential problems that would be brought by a casino.
For example, he said the National Opinion Research Center (NORC) found a drop-off in the income to local restaurants and bars once a casino came to town.
"Study after study shows that casinos don't help local businesses, their customers are either driven away by traffic problems or go to the casino where they can get a cheaper meal or drink. We don't feel it's going to be the economic boon for Cascade Locks as we've been told," said No Casino member John Randall.
NORC found that the overall per capita income for the involved city did not really change — but crime problems created by pathological gamblers roughly doubled within a 50 mile radius.
"I'm against gambling because of the destruction it does to families," said Todd Mohr.
The CL No Casino Web site also provides contact information so that citizens can easily address their concerns with federal officials. A survey is included on the home page that members hope will counteract the one conducted by the city several years ago. Randall said it appeared that only supporters of the project were called so that the results would be overwhelmingly in favor of the Warm Springs proposal.
Richard Randall believes the results of the online survey will most likely be closer to one conducted by an independent pollster that showed citizens nearly evenly split on the issue.
The flyer sent by Cascade Locks No Casino will also include a letter from Ronda Hatefi of Oregonians for Gambling Awareness. She outlines how her brother, Bobby, got addicted to gambling and how it destroyed his life.
"Having a casino in your town will affect you. You do not have to be the one doing the gambling. We are just asking you to think ahead. Think about the families in your area that will be affected, the jobs that will be lost, the wages and work time that will be lost, and crimes that will happen. Think about what you will lose if Cascade Locks is taken over by outside gambling interests. The money that will come into the area is not worth the loss of control of your town and the lives that will be ruined," writes Hatefi in an appeal to get people to join Cascade Locks No Casino.
Randall said her words basically sum up the arguments raised by his group.
He is hopeful that the people of Cascade Locks will listen and fight to retain their small town character.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
For Release: May 13, 2004
Students From New Jersey Honored For Art and Essays Developed Around "Keeping The Promise: 50 Years of Brown v. Board"
Todays Event Planned by JPMorgan Chase and the New Jersey DOE
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Brown v. Board of Education, JPMorgan Chase today partnered with The New Jersey Department of Education (DOE) to present "Keeping the Promise: 50 Years of Brown v. Board," one of a series of events the DOE has held since May 2003.
NAACP Chairman Julian Bond addresses the nearly 2,000 in attendance for the DOE and JPMorgan Chase's joint Brown v. Board event Thursday morning at Rutgers University in New Brunswick.
More than 1,200 students from across the state are attended the event, held at Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP, served as the events keynote speaker and helped present awards to 10 students from New Jerseys public school system for their participation in a statewide art and essay contest. Participants were encouraged to submit pieces that expressed the historical significance of the landmark decision and how it has affected society as a whole.
"At JPMorgan Chase we are proud to be in such esteemed company as Julian Bond and New Jersey education officials to provide todays students with a deeper understanding of the impact this decision has had on society and more specifically on their educational system," said Lewis Jones, President of The J.P. Morgan Chase Foundation.
"We have worked throughout this past year to recognize and honor one of the most important legal cases in history one that made sure every child, regardless of his or her race, receives the education he or she deserves," Commissioner of Education William L. Librera said. "We have partnered with others who see the benefit of recognizing both the work completed over the last 50 years, and the need for more work to come.
"We are so very pleased to partner with JPMorgan Chase and to welcome Julian Bond in sharing his experiences," Dr. Librera said. "We continue to stress that the Brown v. Board of Education decision is as important a legal decision in shaping public education as there ever was. Such events present the unique opportunity for all of us to learn from past lessons and make sure the students of today and tomorrow do the same."
Todays celebration was held at the Rutgers College Avenue Gymnasium in New Brunswick from 9 a.m. to noon. The kick-off celebration was held in Trenton on May 14, 2003 at the War Memorial. There, students and educators alike celebrated the decision, while at the same time acknowledged that it is vital to share past experiences with future generations.
Recognizing the critical role of education for the well-being of our society, JPMorgan Chase has a long tradition of actively partnering with government, organizations and schools directly, to build meaningful programs that can prepare students to be productive citizens, actively engage them in the learning process and provide for opportunities to advance their knowledge and skills to succeed in the 21st century. Through its corporate philanthropy and sponsorships efforts, JPMorgan Chase seeks to impact the teaching and learning process by focusing on teacher professional development, building leadership capacity within school systems, and by supporting programs that research has shown, can lift achievement in areas such as arts education, technology and project-based learning. Where possible, the intellectual capital of the firm is leveraged through volunteerism, to support various educational initiatives. In addition to today's 50th anniversary observance of "Brown v. Board," JPMorgan Chase is proud to be presenting sponsor through October 2005 of the Newark Museum's "Once Upon a Dime" exhibit, which provides important financial education to youth.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama are getting their anniversary date night after all — just a few days late during a busy re-election campaign.
The Obamas arrived at Bourbon Steak in the Georgetown section of Washington, D.C., on Saturday night for a dinner to celebrate their 20th wedding anniversary. The couple hit the milestone on Wednesday, the day of the first presidential debate in Denver.
During the debate, the president wished his wife a happy anniversary and reminded her "a year from now" they wouldn't be marking the occasion in front of millions of viewers. Republican nominee Mitt Romney congratulated Obama, joking that the debate stage was "the most romantic place you could imagine — here with me."

CAIRO – Thousands of Egyptians marched across the country on Friday to denounce the rule of Islamist President Mohammed Morsi and his fundamentalist Muslim Brotherhood, in a show of defiance to hardline Muslim clerics who issued religious edicts this week calling for the killing of opposition leaders.
Carrying Egyptian flags and pictures of slain protesters, demonstrators took to the streets in Cairo, Alexandria, the restive Suez Canal city of Port Said and several Nile Delta cities where the Brotherhood's popularity has been sharply eroding.
"Down with the rule of the Guide," the crowds chanted, referring not to Morsi but to the top leader of the Brotherhood, Mohammed Badie, who critics say is calling the shots for the president from behind the scenes.
In Cairo, protesters gathered at the central Tahrir Square and outside the presidential palace, where clashes turned violent last week and cameras filmed a shocking scene of a protester stripped naked and beaten by security forces. In Kafr el-Sheik, some 110 miles north of Cairo, riot police fired tear gas at protesters rallying in front of the office of governor Saad el-Husseini, who is a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. In Alexandria, protesters tore down a Brotherhood sign at the group's office and set it on fire. In Tanta, also north of Cairo, security forces fired tear gas canisters in clashes with rock-throwing protesters.
Egypt has witnessed a fresh cycle of violence over the past two weeks since the second anniversary of the 2011 uprising that deposed longtime autocrat Hosni Mubarak. Clashes across the country have left scores dead and hundreds injured. Incidents of abduction, torture and the killings of activists have raised concerns of excessive use of force by police, which was one of the main drivers of the 2011 uprising.
Egypt's opposition is demanding Morsi form a new coalition government, open an investigation into the killings of protesters over the past months and give guarantees that upcoming parliamentary elections will be fair and free. They also want him to form a commission to amend the country's newly adopted constitution, which was drafted by an Islamist-led panel and approved last December in a rushed referendum in which only 32 percent of eligible voters took part.
Morsi and his allies accuse the opposition of trying to incite street violence to seize power after failing at the ballot box.
In a statement on Friday, Murad Ali, a spokesman for the Freedom and Justice party -- the Muslim Brotherhood's political arm -- warned the opposition that it would be responsible for any acts of violence that occur during protests. He also called them "losers."
The Friday protests come amid substantial public anxiety after hardline Muslim clerics issued religious edicts, known as fatwas, calling for the killing of Morsi's political opponents, and while Tunisia is witnessing a new wave of unrest after an anti-Islamist opposition leader was gunned down.
Tunisia is the birthplace of the region's so-called Arab Spring uprisings in 2011 that brought an end to three decades of rule by Egypt's Hosni Mubarak, eventually leading to Morsi's election last summer.
The opposition says it will continue protests despite the fatwas, which the presidency and the government condemned as "terrorism."
Hamdeen Sabahi, a leader of the opposition National Salvation Front, said in a message posted on his Twitter account: "We will continue our peaceful struggle with the Egyptian people and revolutionary youth to continue our revolution."

The Auburn women's basketball team fell to No. 10 Tennessee in Knoxville, Thursday night, 93-63.
The Lady Vols, coming off a heartbreaking home loss to Kentucky, came out strong to start the game, shooting 60 percent from the field in the first half to lead Auburn 54-33, the most points given up by Auburn in a half this year. The Tigers committed 10 of its 18 turnovers in that first stanza, allowing UT to generate 17 points off miscues.
"Tennessee is very good at home, and they score in bunches," said head coach Terri Williams-Flournoy. "You can't let them take control like that."
Auburn played better second-half defense, limiting the Lady Vols to 39 points on 38 percent shooting. The Tigers were led in the second half by sophomore Tra'cee Tanner, who scored 10 of her 14 points after the break. She finished the game shooting 6-of-15 and had a double-double with 10 rebounds.
"When you're down by 21, there's really nothing to lose but to play harder," Williams-Flournoy said. "Tra'cee (Tanner) scored inside better in the second half, but those same possessions were there in the first half, she just wasn't as aggressive."
Despite being in foul trouble, four Auburn players finished the game with double-digit scoring. Tyrese Tanner finished the game with a team-high 15 points in only 19 minutes played, her 23rd double-digit game this season. Freshman Brandy Montgomery scored 12 points and Hasina Muhammad added 10 (playing only 20 minutes).
Auburn returns home to host Georgia on Sunday, Feb. 23 for Senior Day. Tipoff is set for 2 p.m. from Auburn Arena. The Tigers will honor seniors Tyrese Tanner and Peyton Davis, as well as manager Quintin Miles.

Rising Tide!
A rising tide of oil inventory is calming the oil market in a scary world. Word that Ukraine would restart an offensive against pro-Russian militants after the apparent torture and killing of a politician from the loyalist party. West Texas crude fell against Brent crude as inventories in the U.S. hover close to record highs. Add to that weak manufacturing data in China is not exactly signaling strong oil demand growth.
The Associared Press reported that Factory activity in China shrank for the fourth straight month in April, though the decline was slightly slower, a survey on Wednesday said, is a possible sign the slowdown in the world's No. 2 economy is stabilizing. The preliminary version of HSBC's purchasing managers' index edged up 48.3 from March's 48.0 on a 100-point scale on which numbers above 50 indicate expansion. The report said output and new orders decreased at a slower rate. However, new orders for customers in export markets overseas shrank after expanding the previous month.
The American Petroleum Institute reported that US crude oil inventories rose by 519,000 barrels last week. That adds to the record supply in the Gulf Coast oil inventories according to the Energy Information administration, 207.2 million barrels on 11 April, a record high. Over all stocks in the country are approaching all-time highs as reported by Reuters, after building 10 million barrels in the week ending April 11 they reached 394 million barrels, close to the record 398 million barrels hit last year.
Surging U.S. crude (NYMEX:CLK14) production which stayed steady at an impressive 8.04 million barrels a day as well as the reversal of Seaway and the TransCanada's Pipeline, and a seasonal drop in crude oil inputs is providing cushion to the market and a sense of stability.
Gasoline inventories which are at the lowest level since 2011 continue to fall. The API reported that Gas inventories fell by 3.39 million barrels due to the summer blend switch and healthy exports. Distillate on the other hand increased. Distillate demand should stay strong as US farmers start to plant the U.S. grain crop. Refining runs came in at 89.8% of capacity. Imports fell by 201,000 million barrels.
Nat gas (NYMEX:HPK14) inventories are behind the eight ball. This week guesses on injections are ranging early from 25 to 57 Bcf. Either way a far cry from where we need to be. This market is a tinder box and while we are overbought technically fundamentally we are still very bullish.
Coffee is (NYBOT:KCK14) crazy again as a report provided us a glimpse of a dismal coffee crop. Coffee hit a 26 month high Volcafe Ltd., a unit of commodities trade house ED&F Man Holdings Ltd., said it expects Brazil to produce 45.5 million 60-kilogram bags of coffee, down 11% from its January estimate. Dow Jones sad that Volcafe changed its forecast after surveying fields Arabica coffee for delivery in July jumped 7.1% to end at $2.1340 a pound, the highest settlement since Feb. 10, 2012, on the ICE Futures U.S. exchange. May-delivery coffee gained 7.7% to settle at $2.1180 a pound.
Sugar (NYBOT:SBK14) was higher as well. July raw sugar rose 0.5% to settle at 17.62 cents a pound, the highest for the most-active contract since March 31. At least we got a slight break on cream as milk futures settled a bit lower. Daily Heard management reports that Near-historic high milk prices are improving dairy producers' balance sheets. Breakeven prices for dairies in Southern Idaho and Washington are estimated between $17-$18/cwt. Current strong markets follow a healthy 2013, where Northwest FCS relationship managers' analyses reveal average dairy profits between $1.00-$1.25/cwt.
Priorities for dairies' reinvestment include rebuilding balance sheets, completing deferred maintenance and purchasing farm ground to control feed supplies. However, relatively high agricultural real estate prices are creating pause in some Northwest dairies' decisions, where careful analysis precedes farm ground purchases. Few dairies express immediate interest in expansion.

Cozy Keys

Difficulty [Mellow]
So if you're like me, you've gotten tired of doing the early-morning yoga position I call The One Legged Key Fumble. This is the knee-up, hunched-over position taken as you balance all your belongings and morning beverages against your body and confront your overlarge collection of keys. As you hold your breath for a count of ten, lean back, and shakily extend your hand towards the door; you pray for some deity to aid you in finding the correct key before you topple over.
Perhaps it was divine enlightenment that prompted me in how I could solve this problem AND use up leftover sock yarn cluttering my stash. They also make quick gifts and impress your boy/girlfriend's mother. Perhaps the rest of you are more graceful than I am - but even knitters such as yourselves, gazelle-like in your poise and physical coordination, ought to appreciate a bit of color-coded cuteness before the caffeine kicks in.

(Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Thursday reinstated a Texas abortion restriction that was blocked by a lower court this week, allowing nearly all of the state's sweeping anti-abortion law to go into effect.
The decision by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals means doctors who perform abortions in Texas must have admitting privileges with local hospitals within 30 miles of their clinic, according to court documents.
The Texas law passed in July was the most fiercely debated proposal to restrict abortions in the United States this year. Republican efforts to pass the law sparked an unsuccessful filibuster by Democratic state Senator Wendy Davis, which propelled her into the national spotlight and encouraged her to announce she will run for governor.
"This new ruling represents a huge pro-life victory," said the Texas Alliance For Life in a statement.
The Appeals Court overturned U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel's ruling on Monday, a day before the law was due to go into effect, that a section of the measure pertaining to admitting privileges was unconstitutional after supporters said it would force clinics to close.
"This fight is far from over. This restriction clearly violates Texas women's constitutional rights by drastically reducing access to safe and legal abortion statewide," said Cecile Richards, the president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the family planning and reproductive health group.
Supporters of the right to abortion have warned that the reinstated measure could force up to one third of the state's clinics to close immediately, cutting off access for some 22,000 women, because those clinics have not been able to gain admitting privileges for their physicians since the law passed.
Whole Woman's Health will close three of its five facilities in Texas on Friday because of the ruling, according to Amy Hagstrom Miller, the organization's founder and CEO, who spoke on the Rachel Maddow Show on Thursday.
"Just this evening, we had to call all our patients and cancel their appointments for tomorrow," Miller said.
Doctors do not have the required admitting privileges at the three clinics located in Fort Worth, San Antonio and McAllen.
However, Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas said in a statement on Thursday that its "doors are still open."
Attorney General Greg Abbott, a Republican who is running for Texas governor, had asked the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals to overturn Yeakel's ruling and requested a full court hearing on the issue in January.
"This unanimous decision is a vindication of the careful deliberation by the Texas Legislature to craft a law to protect the health and safety of Texas women," he said in a statement.
The appeals court granted Abbott a hearing on the issue in January.
However, the court let stand Yeakel's ruling that blocks the state from enforcing the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's abortion pill protocol for women who are 50 to 63 days pregnant if a doctor determines a surgical abortion is unsafe.
In 2012, another federal judge in Austin struck down the state's law requiring women to get a transvaginal ultrasound before abortions. An appeals court reversed that decision and the ultrasound requirement has gone into effect.
Earlier this week, Elizabeth Nash, state issues manager for the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports the right to abortion, said nine states, including Texas, passed laws requiring doctors to have admitting privileges, but they are in effect only in Kansas, Tennessee and Utah.
Laws were blocked by courts in four other states and have not yet taken effect in Arizona, Nash said.
Some 18 states, including Texas, have enacted laws restricting drug-induced abortions or holding them to the stricter federal guideline, Nash said.
Such laws have gone into effect in 14 states, but have been blocked by legal action in North Dakota, Wisconsin and Oklahoma, and are being challenged in Iowa, she said.

STOCKTON - Pension reform signed into law in Sacramento in September also changed the rules for the thousands of current and former employees in the San Joaquin County retirement system.
STOCKTON - Pension reform signed into law in Sacramento in September also changed the rules for the thousands of current and former employees in the San Joaquin County retirement system.
The rules include the same steps designed to prevent abuse and make public pension systems more sustainable, but exactly how they will be implemented in the county and how they will impact the governments and employees that are part of the San Joaquin County Employees' Retirement Association in the years to come is still coming into view.
The reform mandates that new employees in the state will receive less-generous pensions. County officials expect government will see cost savings from the changes building over the years, but officials and workers alike worry the changes could make it harder to recruit staff.
State reform also calls for current employees to pay at least half the cost of providing their own pensions, though it's unclear exactly when that 50-50 split will be implemented in the county. Add that to some pending legislation in Sacramento that would make some tweaks to the new law, and it will be a while, at least, before pension reform in the county takes its final shape.
"I think it's going to unfold, and it's something that will change on an ongoing basis," said Steve Bestolarides, chairman of the San Joaquin County Board of Supervisors and also a member of the Retirement Association's governing board.
The Retirement Association manages pensions for roughly 9,000 current and former employees from local government agencies, though it is primarily the retirement system for county government employees. It is one of 20 similar county retirement systems, separate entities from the state's pension giants, California State Teachers' Retirement System and California Public Employees' Retirement System.
"Legislation can never address every scenario," said Eraina Ortega, legislative representative for the California State Association of Counties. Those different systems are looking for more direction from the pending legislation while determining what principles they'd like to see in their individual systems.
Ortega and local officials doubt new legislation would change the basic tenets of the pension reform.
Under the reform, new San Joaquin County employees will enter into a second-tier pension plan, offering less-generous pensions and requiring employees to take on at least half of the cost of their own pensions. County government would still be paying a larger share of the total pension costs to cover unfunded liabilities and market dips affecting the pension fund, according to the Retirement Association.
The benefits received by current county employees when they retire will not change because of the new legislation, but it does allow for current employees to contribute more to the cost of providing that benefit while working.
Current retirees won't see any change to their benefits.
But retirees must wait 180 days after they retire before returning to work again in the county system, part of the reform's attempt to address so-called "double dipping." It also had measures to combat pension "spiking."
To that end, new employees will have their pension based on an average of their pay over 36 months, instead of what they were paid in their final year. And it changes what kinds of payments would be allowed to count toward compensation. For example, money paid to reimburse employees for their uniforms cannot be counted toward benefits.
In San Joaquin County, the 12-month rule applies to current employees and uniform reimbursement counts toward pension, said Annette St. Urbain, chief executive officer of the Retirement Association. If there is a question about whether or not compensation should apply toward pension, the Retirement Board has the authority to decide that, she said.
The new law also prevents employees from cashing in several years' worth of vacation time in their final year to boost pensions. That is not something current employees are able to do, she said.
Efforts to rein in pension costs had already begun in San Joaquin County government.
Most employees agreed to pay more toward their retirement benefits, and agreements between administration and workers had begun to create a second tier for new employees.
It will take at least a few years before a significant portion of the county's work force will be new hires in the new tiers, County Administrator Manuel Lopez said. But it will grow. "That's going to be a very positive impact."
On the other hand, the new law sets a $136,440 cap on pensionable income, which could make it more difficult recruiting higher-paid workers, he said.
And since the county includes San Joaquin General Hospital, that means competing with the private sector for physicians, Supervisor Larry Ruhstaller said.
"It's hard enough to get a doctor to the San Joaquin Valley in the first place. ... Now we have one hand tied behind our back," he said. The region has traditionally suffered a shortage of physicians.
Service Employee International Union Local 1021 represents about 70 percent of the county's work force. You won't find very many members in the union earning close to that cap, said Pat Ikeda, president of the county branch of SEIU.
But he, too, is worried about lower benefits making it harder to recruit new public employees.
"The trade-off has traditionally been we accept less compensation, now, in return for better job security and better long-term security," he said.

ACCLAIMED British Light ARTIST REturning To U.S., UnveilING three NEW pieces in 2013
Bruce Munro's second-ever U.S. exhibit of his large-scale lighting installations will transform Nashville's Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art into a nighttime dreamland
December 12, 2012 (NASHVILLE, TN) – Internationally renowned British artist Bruce Munro will exhibit Light, an exhibition of 10 breathtaking, large-scale outdoor and indoor lighting installations coupled with indoor sculptures, at Nashville's Cheekwood Botanical Garden & Museum of Art from May 24 through November 10, 2013. The exhibit will include four installations never before seen in the U.S.
Using an inventive array of materials and hundreds of miles of glowing optical fiber, Munro will transform Cheekwood's magnificent gardens, manicured grounds and rolling hills into an enchanting, iridescent landscape that emerges organically at nightfall.
Munro's site-specific exhibit will mark only the second time he has showcased his solo work in the U.S. In 2012, Munro debuted Light at Longwood Gardens in Kennett Square, Pa., drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors and critical acclaim. Cheekwood's Light will include three entirely new installations: Bell Drop Chandelier, Fagin's Urchins and Light Reservation. Two of these new works were inspired by the subtleties of Cheekwood's grounds and the third by a lighting technique that Munro only recently began to explore. Blue Moon, which will be in Cheekwood's Japanese Garden, is a work never before seen in the U.S.
"Cheekwood is honored to host Bruce Munro's Light and to invite Nashville residents and visitors from around the world to experience the transcendent power of his inspired installations," said Jane Offenbach, president and CEO of Cheekwood. "We were among several premier botanical gardens nationwide actively courting Munro, and are thrilled he selected Cheekwood to mount his mesmerizing exhibit. Cheekwood's Dale Chihuly exhibition in 2010 was a huge success, and I am confident that Light will draw record crowds and solidify Cheekwood as a preeminent setting for other major artists to showcase their work."
Wiltshire-based Munro is an installation artist working with light in all of its forms. His work has been exhibited at London's Victoria and Albert Museum—the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design—and at the 13th century gothic Salisbury Cathedral, where it garnered international praise. Munro's work has also been shown at the Holburne Museum in Bath, Kensington Palace in London and the Guggenheim Museum in New York City.
"During my first visit to Cheekwood earlier in the year, I had a visceral reaction to the scale and positioning of the estate's buildings. They are at one with the landscape, breeding a sense of understated balance and harmony that truly inspired me and undoubtedly permeates the visitor experience," said Munro. "This is the most perfect place to exhibit because it provides a variety of opportunities to respond to – each space varies in both scale and topographical character. In addition, Cheekwood's world class exhibition galleries are a veritable jewel in its crown. I feel lucky and privileged to install my work at this prestigious and beautiful estate."
At the center of the exhibit's 10 site-specific installations will be the Field of Light (pictured left) featuring 20,000 lighted glass spheres, each rising from the ground on a slender stem. The sheer volume of spheres, the glow of the lights and the gentle shapes create an effect that is both natural and otherworldly. Notably, the Field of Light that Munro will create at Cheekwood will be his most expansive to date.
In Cheekwood's color garden, 40 monumental towers made of recyclable water bottles will evanesce and reappear in a glowing dance as the individual towers change color in synchronization with music. This installation, Water-Towers (pictured on page 1), seeks to "capture the spirit of life's continual flux," explains Munro. "It reinforces the idea that reality is simply a beautiful improvised dance that lives in the moment."
Along with the large-scale outdoor installations, Light will also feature a collection of illuminated sculptures within Cheekwood's Museum of Art, including a gallery dedicated to Munro's works. Again, several of these works have never before been installed in the U.S., including the Bell Drop Chandelier – comprised of 500 fiber optic cables – that was created for the main stairwell of the museum.
Located on the western edge of Nashville, Cheekwood is a privately funded 55-acre estate built by the Maxwell House Coffee fortune and one of the finest examples of an American Country Place Era Estate in the U.S. The Botanical Garden at Cheekwood is a spectacular showcase of color and horticultural diversity with eleven specialty display gardens and stunning natural landscape. Cheekwood's Museum of Art, housed in a 30,000-square foot Georgian-style mansion, features world-class collections of American and contemporary painting and sculpture, English and American decorative arts and traveling exhibitions. With its history, beauty, year-round family-friendly activities and stylish seasonal celebrations, Cheekwood attracts more than 250,000 visitors annually.
While hosting Light, Cheekwood will offer extended hours on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings until 10:00 p.m. to share the luminous beauty of the exhibition in its most stunning state: under the night sky. On First Tennessee Fridays, Cheekwood will open its Pineapple Room Restaurant for dinner, host several bars with drinks and snacks throughout the property, and feature live music to enhance visitors' Light experience.
Light is presented by First Tennessee Foundation and co-sponsored by Gullett, Sanford, Robinson and Martin, PLLC. Additional sponsorships are available; for information call Bennett Tarleton at 615-353-6983 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Head coach Jim Harbaugh of the San Francisco 49ers gets a laugh from Field Judge Jim Quirk during an NFL game against the Arizona Cardinals at University of Phoenix Stadium on October 29, 2012 in Glendale, Arizona. Credit: Ralph Freso/Getty Images
You're born, and your life is great. Then, you get a little brother or sister and everything changes. Suddenly, time with the family is ripped between the two siblings. Toys must be shared. The television must be split between two pairs of eyeballs. Then you grow up and go to school. You have to live in your older brother's shadow, or worry about your younger counterpart tattling on you for doing something out of line. Everyone goes through the traditional sibling rivalry, and by the time you become an adult and start pursuing your own life, the conflict typically falls by the wayside.
But not for John and Jim Harbaugh. Who cares about some adult brothers who are still going at it? Well, John and Jim are the coaches of the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers, respectively. And it just so happens that those two teams are competing in this year's Super Bowl. Winning this ultimate game would be the absolute pinnacle for any former athlete and professional coach. One of the brothers will win, and the other will lose, thus fueling an already likely sibling rivalry that will continue to go forward.
Fortunately, most siblings don't have to play out their competition on national TV. But that doesn't mean the conflict isn't there. Have you ever been in a situation like this? Did you square off against your sibling in a business setting? Did you go into similar career fields and compete for the same jobs? What about academically? And twins face even more pressure. Have you and your sibling felt it? Call in and let us know. (And tell them to call in, too!)

Family Power: My Two Moms
In 2011, when he was just 19, Zach Wahls stood before the Iowa House Judiciary Committee and poured his heart out. "Not once have I ever been confronted by an individual who realized independently that I was raised by a gay couple," he said. "And you know why? Because the sexual orientation of my parents has had zero impact on the content of my character." Since his speech went viral on YouTube, Wahls has continued to fight for marriage equality. He spoke at the Democratic National Convention in 2012 and released My Two Moms: Lessons of Love, Strength, and What Makes a Family. He'll be discussing the book and his message that same-sex parents and their children are not alone at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the North Fourth Arts Center.

Snowboard World Cup returns to Ruka
This Thursday and Friday, Ruka, Finland, will host the 2014 FIS Snowboard World Cup season's second halfpipe competition.
About 75 snowboarders from 20 nations will compete in the 145 metres long 22-foot superpipe which was perfectly prepared by FIS Technical Advisor Alli Zehetner over the past couple of weeks. Besides battling for precious World Cup points riders will also strive to qualify for the 2014 Sochi Olympic Winter Games in the antepenultimate contest of the qualification period.
Qualifiers for the Ruka World Cup are taking place Dec 12 with the semi finals and finals scheduled for Dec 13.
Main favourites in the sole halfpipe World Cup event on European soil, which will be primarily held under flood light are the Finnish rippers led by 2013 FIS Snowboard Freestyle World Cup title winner Janne Korpi and 2011 Ruka winner Markus Malin.
2013 Halfpipe World Cup Standings runner-up Yiwei Zhang (CHN) as well as Dimi de Jong (NED) and Arthur Longo (FRA) are also top contenders for a podium finish.
On the women's side of things, 2010, 2011 and 2012 Halfpipe World Cup champion Xuetong Cai of China and her fellow countrywoman Jiayu Liu are the ones to beat while French riders Lucile Lefevre, who clinched the 2011 Ruka World Cup and Sophie Rodriguez seem to be their main competitors for victory.
The 2014 FIS Snowboard Freestyle World Cup
The 2014 FIS Snowboard Freestyle World Cup consists of three events (halfpipe, slopestyle and big air) and features a total of nine competitions with the third event and thus second halfpipe contest of the season taking place in Ruka, Finland, mid of December, 2013.
