After 30 years of government-supported and stabilized corn markets, the new biofuels era features no government- or farmer-held corn reserves and highly volatile corn prices. It's an economic environment in which ranchers have never before operated.
The result is that the traditional cattle cycle is broken, and the cattle industry is massively restructuring to respond to the new economics. Many of the tried and tested past economic relationships probably will not hold in the emerging biofuels era.
What's different in the current run-up in corn prices is that it is demand, not supply, driven. This increased demand is expected to last several years; some suggest it will be a decade before cellulose becomes the primary input source for ethanol.
A look at corn prices
Figure 1 presents the corn-futures history from early 2002 through December 2010. In general, corn prices from 2002 through September 2006 were in the $2/bu. range, rising to $3-$4 in 2007, and surpassing the $5 range in 2008.
As this is being written, the futures market through 2010 is well above $5/bu. Cash-corn prices in Omaha went to $5.27 the week of Feb. 29. My analysis suggests cattle prices have failed to adjust fast enough to these increasing corn prices.
Given what a weather scare this year in the Cornbelt could do to cattle prices, I encourage ranchers to explore price protection on their 2008 calves. USDA offers several subsidized livestock price risk management programs. All ranchers should look into how these risk-management packages might fit their ranch.
Suggested planning prices
Table 1 depicts my futures-based February 2008 price projections. What's notable is that my futures-based fall 2008 price projections are stronger than fall 2007 actual prices, which runs counter to my intuitive thinking.
For a variety of reasons, the cattle market appears unable to make the needed price adjustments to return profits back to the cattle-finishing sector. I keep expecting feeder-cattle and feeder-calf prices to weaken more due to the impact of higher feedlot gain costs, but it's yet to happen to the degree needed to return profits to cattle feeding.
Based on several queries I received on my January issue column, I will share how I adjusted the February futures price with a five-year average basis to localize the futures prices to Eastern Wyoming/Western Nebraska. This the primary area of my client base.
Basis is defined as cash price minus nearby futures price. Since basis is so difficult to predict, market analysts tend to use a three- to five-year average as the projected current year's basis. Each region of the country, however, has a different three- to five-year average basis.
An excellent source of readily available localized basis data is www.beefbasis.com, where you can pick your state and a local salebarn within that state. This is my source of basis data for this article.
Table 2 presents the beefbasis.com data generated for Torrington, WY salebarn basis data for selling feeders off grass for mid-September 2008. I ran this model for the 15th of each of the 12 months in 2008; the results of the feeder cattle-based model are presented under the "5-Year Avg." column in Table 3.
The suggested planning prices on the right of Table 3 are the futures-contract prices for each specific month as of Feb. 20, 2008, adjusted by the monthly Torrington five-year average basis.
Planning for 2008 grass cattle
Let's build a business plan for putting 625-lb. steer calves on grass May 1, 2008 and harvesting them as 850-lb. feeders in mid-September. Let's first look at generating a projected planning price for "going on grass" in early May 2008.
The Feb. 20 futures price for May 1 (Table 3) was $111.75. I used a five-year beefbasis.com basis average of a +$3.50, so this adds up to a suggested (localized to Eastern Wyoming/Western Nebraska) basis-adjusted May 2008 planning price of $115/cwt. for 700- to 800-lb. feeders.
Second, let's adjust this localized planning price to the weight of "my" cattle. My Eastern Wyoming/Western Nebraska February 2008 calculated price slides (see my January column for how I did this) for May 2008 projects a $126/cwt. planning price for 625-lb. steers going on grass in my study region this year. (Actually, this price can also be extrapolated directly from Table 1, Spring '08 column). Now we have a planning price for putting 625-lb. steers on grass this summer.
My new ranch business plan for the emerging biofuels era calls for the marketing of 850-lb. feeders off grass — heavier than normal for my ranch. The September 2008 planning prices in Table 3 suggest a 700- to 800-lb. feeder-steer planning price coming off grass at $115. I used my calculated price slide for 850-lb. feeders off grass and came up with a planning price off grass of $108. (Again, this price can be extrapolated from Table 1. Since 850 lbs. off grass in Sept. '08 is halfway between Sept. '08, 800 lbs. and Sept. '08, 900 lbs., the market price is halfway between $111 and $104. Or, take $111 + $104 and divide by two = $107.50, which rounds to $108 as the price off grass. With this technique, Table 1 provides prices for many different weights of feeder cattle.).
Let's review what I did. I used the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) futures market for a given contract month as my base price. I then localized the CME price to my geographic location via the basis adjustment, giving me a futures-based localized planning price.
I then adjusted the localized suggested planning price by my calculated Torrington price slides to adjust the planning price to my specific weight of cattle being marketed locally. I ended up with two planning prices — $126 feeder calves going on grass and $108 feeders coming off grass.
This suggests a buy/sell margin of a -$18/cwt. of feeder calf purchased. Can you make money with a -$18 buy/sell margin on grass cattle in 2008? My numbers say "no" if you charge for your grass, but "yes" if you give away your 2008 grass.
Visit www.beefeconomics.blogspot.com to see my completed "2008 Business Plan For Grass Cattle In The Emerging Biofuels Era." Scroll down to the article by that title; "Running grass cattle" is the third marketing alternative from the left in the projected "Fall Calving Cow Profit Center Projection."

I wholeheartedly encourage ranchers to go to www.beefbasis.com and build a set of basis data for your location. I also encourage ranchers to routinely update the left-hand column of Table 3 with current futures prices — every Wednesday. You can update this table in just 10 minutes on your computer.
Whenever you can't explain why prices went the way they did, check with your state Extension marketing specialist or your local sale-barn manager for their opinion. Now you have become a price watcher, and I'll bet you become a better feeder-cattle marketer.

The Responsibility to Protect, the innovative international law doctrine that establishes a framework for international intervention in the domestic life of countries where significant numbers of people are subject to violence or grave deprivation, seems tailor-made for the current civil war in Syria. But the United Nations has hesitated to do more than commission former Secretary General Kofi Annan to undertake two failed peace missions to the region. While there is ample reason to hesitate before intervening in Syria, evidence of indiscriminate government attacks on its citizens is sufficient to warrant an array of measures under the R2P doctrine short of all out force to protect Syrians from their murderous leaders.
Commentators lay the blame for the failure to intervene on the opposition of Russia and China, veto-wielding members of the Security Council. Even if no vetoes blocked international action, of course, there are lots of reasons to hesitate to intervene militarily. Syria's defensive capabilities would make armed intervention costly for any outside force. The unsettled outcome of the Bush Administration's unnecessary and unjust war of choice in Iraq, moreover, with its still ongoing internecine violence, cautions against outsiders trying to resolve ethnic differences with an enforced settlement.
Furthermore, the failed American and allied experience in nation-building in both Iraq and Afghanistan also suggests how fraught with difficulty establishing a just peace in Syria may be. The fragmentation of the armed Syrian resistance and its disconnect from the political resistance of the Syrian National Council weigh heavily in favor of a post-Assad future afflicted by interethnic and inter-religious violence. Without prior agreement international forces could be embroiled in civil conflict, increasing the overall violence in the situation. All the same, R2P affirms a common duty to resist the mass killing of innocent civilians by their own governments.
The unremitting violence of the Assad regime, not only against the current militia forces but especially earlier against unarmed demonstrators and their sympathizers, provides ample reason to presume that international intervention is justified to end the slaughter. Before and since the spread of armed rebellion, the regime has kidnapped, tortured and assassinated civilians in their homes. The victims of torture have included many children. Sharpshooters have killed unarmed demonstrators as they marched, and in town after artillery barrages have demolished entire neighborhoods on suspicion of sympathy with the regime's critics. Organized mobs have slaughtered entire villages and urban neighborhoods. More than a quarter million Syrians have fled as refugees to neighboring countries, with tens of thousands more displaced in their home country. All the attacks on civilians are violations of the laws of war and crimes against humanity. Navi Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has urged that these crimes be referred to the International Criminal Court and that the Security Council take action to forestall further atrocities. Without doubt there is just cause for international intervention.
Barriers to Action
There are essentially two obstacles to intervention, one political, the other, ethical. The political barrier to action, of course, is the lack of consensus on the UN Security Council. The ethical barrier is the uncertainty, one might even say the excessive difficulty, of reaching a peaceful settlement by armed intervention. The framers of the R2P doctrine did anticipate situations in which the Security Council might be deadlocked and allowed that it would be "unrealistic to expect that concerned states will rule out other means and forms of action to meet the gravity and urgency of these situations." The political barrier is not insuperable. For example, a coalition of states, like "the Friends of Syria" or the Arab League, might undertake a 'legitimate," though not formally legal, intervention as in Kosovo in 1999. So, the need for action could be met in other ways than through an all-out military intervention under the authority of the Security Council. Those other means ought to be aimed at reducing the obstacles to international execution of the responsibility to protect and at facilitating conditions for a just peace in post-bellum Syria.
Hesitancy about intervention derives in large measure from the disunity of the opposition, both the array of independent fighting groups and the lack of clear connection between the government in exile, the Syrian National Council, and the fighters. The transition can be better secured and post-conflict instability reduced through efforts to unify the opposition. This can be done through outside mediation between factions and through arms transfer and other aid conditioned on the opposition closing ranks and accepting unified command. As a once-secular and nonsectarian rebellion turns more sectarian and as groups like Al Qaeda begin to make added trouble, the consolidation of the opposition becomes imperative to prevent chaos after the change in regimes and political fragmentation across the region.
Uncertainty over the shape of a post-Assad regime may be reduced by making public at least the elements of a transition plan, such as has been reported to have been prepared by the U.S. Institute for Peace at the request of the Syrian National Council. While the Council or its representatives may have bought in to such a plan, publicity will allow others in the diffuse opposition to buy in or negotiate for changes in a post-conflict regime, reducing the squabbling otherwise bound to come after the overthrow of the Assad government.
A particularly thorny problem in regime-changing conflicts like that in Syria is the question of transitional justice, that is, how to hold those responsible for atrocities accountable for their crimes. It is particularly vexing because often to wind down the conflict a choice must be made between exacting full accountability and advancing the end of armed conflict by extending amnesty to some of the perpetrators. That choice also exists in the Syrian conflict. With military intervention or without, a cessation of hostilities could be speeded up by extending amnesty to military and government officials who surrender or defect by a certain date.
Given the government's unrelenting war against protestors and dissenters these last two years, not to mention, the regime's history of violence against its own people, the opposition will be wary of amnesty, but except in egregious cases, it may be the price to be paid for peace. Worries about former agents of the regime returning to power could be handled, as it was in some eastern European countries after 1989, by lustration laws, prohibiting their return to political or civil offices. Again, this is not an easy choice, especially since the United States after its failed experience with de-Baathification in Iraq, has warned against excluding former officeholders from public life; but the tradeoffs between justice and the basic functioning of government should be made by the liberated Syrians themselves. They should decide how heavily the American lessons of Iraq should weigh in the design of their new state.
Finally, neighboring states, the UN Refugee Agency and the Syrian Red Crescent are doing good work in providing aid to refugees and others displaced by the fighting. The international community should take steps to expand work to meet this complex humanitarian emergency, prepare for winter and begin the work of post-conflict reconstruction. The international community has much improved skills in this area, but given the global economic recession planning and the acquisition of resources will need to begun as quickly as possible.
So, even without military intervention, the Friends of Syria can act under R2P to:
--publicize a transition plan in the interest of building consensus and, where necessary, promote negotiation among opposition factions;
--extend aid, including arms, on condition of consolidation of a unified opposition under civilian command;
--offer limited amnesty in return for defection and a cessation of hostilities, and
--prepare for post-conflict emergency aid and peace building with planning and funding.
Drew Christiansen, S.J.
The secret of transforming a Bronze Age culture into a Space Age culture has never been found. (OTOH, transforming a Bronze Age culture into a Bronze Age culture with Space Age weapons is all too easy.) Unless there is a reasonable plan for making the situation better, the best that can be done is not to make it worse.
So the deafult position on armed intervention ought to be to oppose it.
Not to mention that the use of violence is always contary to the gospel.
God Bless

Self-Proclaimed Non-Birther Hannity Promotes Another Birther-Related Conspiracy
Blog ››› ››› TERRY KREPEL
For someone who claims to not be a birther, Sean Hannity sure loves to promote birther conspiracies. He did so again today on his Fox News show by giving a platform to the birther-friendly claim that Obama enrolled at Columbia University as a "foreign exchange student."
Hannity's guest was Wayne Allyn Root, who was on to promote his assertion -- which he has been peddling since at least 2008 -- that he never met Obama when they were students at Columbia and that no one Root knew "at Columbia ever met him, ever heard of him, or ever saw him." FactCheck.org has pointed out that it's "absolutely untrue" that nobody has stepped forward to claim they knew Obama as a college student.
After making the Trump-esque claim that Obama has spent "millions of dollars" to keep his records sealed, Root went on to demand that Obama release his college transcripts, then speculated that the reason he hasn't done so is because he was enrolled as a "foreign exchange student." That claim has its origins in a fake news article sent around as an April Fools' joke.
Hannity did not challenge any of Root's claims. In fact, he introduced Root as part of his ongoing efforts to "vet the president" and "unveil the president's college years."
Root is feeding into the same kind of right-wing conspiracy-mongering about Obama's background that produced the birther movement -- indeed, the birthers at WorldNetDaily have promoted Root's claims. Perhaps that's why Hannity added at the end of Root's segment, "I've never been a birther. I thought delaying release of the birth certificate was interesting."
But Hannity's denial conflicts with his record of promoting birther theories:
- Hannity Wages All-Out Campaign To Promote Birther Conspiracy Theory
- Hannity Continues His Birther Defense: "All Donald Trump Said Was, 'Show The Birth Certificate And Move On' "
- Hannity Passionately Defends Birtherism, Demands, "Don't Bring Up Race"
- Hannity's Nightly Birther Devotional: He's "Just Curious" Why Obama Doesn't Show The Birth Certificate
- Hannity: Birtherism Has "Never Been My Issue," But "I Don't Know, I Can't Tell" If Obama's Birth Certificate Is Real
- Hannity Helps Promote Trump's Birtherism
- Hannity Hannitizes Trump's Birtherism: "He Said It Was Peculiar That [Obama] Won't Release" Birth Certificate
- Hannity Hosts WND Birther Joseph Farah, Who Used The Platform To Push Birther Theories
- For Hannity, Pushback Against False Birther Conspiracy Theories Is "Media Bias"

(Reuters) - Safeguards to ensure that U.S. surveillance measures are not abused have worked but must be improved as technology advances, President Barack Obama said in an interview with CNN that aired on Friday.
The Obama administration has been on the defensive since former U.S. contractor Edward Snowden revealed information on the sweep of secret government surveillance measures.
The president has made a point of saying the programs were not spying on Americans. But documents released this week showed the National Security Agency may have unintentionally collected as many as 56,000 emails of Americans per year between 2008 and 2011. A secret U.S. court subsequently said the program may have violated U.S. law.
The revelations led to new questions about operations by the eavesdropping NSA and its oversight by the secret U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC).
Obama said the discovery of the mistake and the court's demand that safeguards be improved showed the system of oversight had functioned appropriately.
"All these safeguards, checks, audits, oversight worked," he said in the interview on CNN's "New Day" program.
But the president acknowledged, as he has before, that more could be done to increase the public's confidence in the programs.
"There are legitimate concerns that people have that technology is moving so quick that, you know, at some point, does the technology outpace the laws that are in place and the protections that are in place?" he said.
"Do some of these systems end up being like a loaded gun out there that somebody at some future point could abuse?" he added.
Obama said he was confident the NSA was not abusing its powers.
"What I recognize is that we're going to have to continue to improve the safeguards and, as technology moves forward, that means that we may be able to build technologies that give people more assurance, and we do have to do a better job of giving people confidence in how these programs work," he said.

On the Street…Tailored Tee, Paris
CommentsClose comment
90 comments
Looks better on the girl. She looks so effortlessly chic.
The first one is a slim fit tee, yo ucan find them anywhere in Europe, got a purple one from Zara the other day. The second one is soooo cleverly draped!
2 key elements to a plain white t-shirt, it has to fit the shoulders (like his does) and it has to be of substantial weight to smooth over chest hair and nipples (like hers doesn't and I expect we'll see more postings on that). It is a great look if that all pieces of the outfit are basic, well constructed, and well-fitted. I adore those persols and may have to buy me a pair soon! Jorge from W Palm Beach
He wears it much better than she…
i think the cortina shot was on mens style, no? i love the length of the tee, it ever so subtlely hits the top of the pants. the photo of the girl is great – formal pleated wool trousers with a plain white t – its a great juxtipostion.
Nice and Fresh
So sweet this girl…
Basic white tee fits everything.
ohh her pleats are PERFECT.
i also love the way her gorgeous bangs are blowing.
great shot, sart!
white tees rule. always. and. forever.
Is this really tailored or is it just too small for him?
I don't think I really like Muscles Magee, on the top. He looks too James Dean-ish. I men's trousers on the young lady, below, though. It's cute. Is she wearing a head band?
The T-shirt is always a good choice.
A great fallback for that day you just want to be comfortable.
In both pictures, the trousers are more remarkable than the tee
My favorite post of the gentleman, who pretty much defines basic accessories here and chooses them in perfect scale. When you wear a watch and carry a phone the watch becomes mainly an accessory and I've noticed a lot of people dispensing with them lately, but he knows better- the look needs the watch. Classic. The young woman looks just as classic in her own way. A simple outfit and her freshness is all she needs.
if done stylishly, as both of these are, you don't look like my dad mowing the lawn. bravo to both.
white t-shirt aside (yes, it's fabulous), i love this girl's pants!!! of course i am always looking for inspiration for my own personal style, and these are pants that i think even girls without perfect long and skinny barbie legs can wear!
unless… will a big booty mess them up??
oh, the laments of a pear-shaped lady…
What is Jorge talking about? She doesn't have any chest hair!
Both worn so well. Love her pleated pants.
No wardrobe should ever be without one of these! Sean John (believe it or not) makes a GREAT version … high quality cotton, slim in the midsection, tapered at the sleeve, and comes three to a pack … im wearing one under my biker jacket now :-)
She is adorable. Love her trousers. More than her outfit, I love this shot – her hair blowing – perfectly timed.
The girls outfit is so perfect, love it, black and white and nothing more. Simple and stylish!
i feel like the white tee on the guy is too tight for his age. the woman pulls it off perfectly. they both embody the simplicity and beauty of a white tee.
Your boyfriend's back and there's gonna be trouble…
The top photo demonstrates that fit is everything. The outfit is exactly what my 83 year old dad wears to the breakfast table. It looks better on this guy. :-)
He's hot
Well, simple but not spectacular at all…
both their outfits are so simple but it's that sense of confidence they're exuding that really makes their look. especially the girl. she seems so effortlessly well put-together.
His looks Too Small, or Dryer-shrunken, not "tailored." Looks like the ones my father used to have to throw away after too many years of use. Nothing elegant about it. It's 'okay' across the chest, but the arms are too "too," as if he's just too vain about his arms. Sorry. I've loved just about everything else i've seen him in. The pants are great. And, Persols. Why no iPhone, though? What up with that?
She looks cute, but her shirt is unremarkable.
I have to strongly disagree with Jorge's comment above. I see no need to "smooth over" a woman's nipples…. Nipples good.
Anon said, "In both pictures, the trousers are more remarkable than the tee."
I've always seen that as the point of wearing a white t-shirt (or a white button-down.) The simplicity allows the other elements of your outfit and you accessories to stand out more. I agree with Dan in Richmond that the watch is a pivotal part of his look. The sunglasses (Persol I believe) serve the same purpose. In both photos they demonstrate an ability to use a classic piece to build a great look. Well done Sart.
I love the simplicity of both outfits, though I wish we could see the girl's face. She looks like a friend I have yet to meet…
the first one is pretty hot. OMFG. someone knows him? ;)
I once heard the line "the best style accessory is to be fit." I really think this is true. The reason such a simple look works for that guy is that he is in great shape.
Style is about looks, and fitness is an integral part of that. We all have different body types that we have to work with, but why not make your style choices more flexible by remembering the above line.
is he rockin the persol or tom ford shades? they look kind of like my tom ford's but the bridge makes me think they might be persol.
a little blown out, no?
she looks effortless, i think it works. i'm not sure that it's such a good thing on him… maybe less of the 'gun show' and a more of an understated fit on the guy. not diggin it with those pants, is that wrong?
Nothing fresher than a nice t, but I agree that the guy's is just too tight. On a side note, love the lady's pants! Yay pleats yay!
I hope this comment is not too racy. What makes the look for the woman is the hint of nipple. It changes the look from sweet to sexy.
Scott, I apologize if you feel this comment is inappropriate.
A fitted tee is the last thing I need (LOL). But it looks great on him. And she looks adorable!
That's odd; just this morning in college I was envying a girl who had on a very similar pair of pinstriped trousers. She kind of resembled the girl in the picture too. Paired with the white T-shirt it looks great – smart and simple but also fresh and interesting.
I'm not altogether keen on the guy's outfit, though – just a little too tight IMHO, it comes across as kind of narcissistic rather than effortless.
Good lord, who knew Mr. Cortina had that body under his fabulous clothes? Thank you, sir!
very clean nice look
Thanks to Jorge, ben schmidt, and ck dexter haven for interrogating the term "tailored" here. Neither shirt looks tailored to me, but they fit all right in the ways their wearers seem to desire. I, too, think a little more nipple coverage would enhance the woman's look–this look is more for the beach.
Anon said, "I've always seen that as the point of wearing a white t-shirt (or a white button-down.) The simplicity allows the other elements of your outfit and you accessories to stand out more.

In both photos they demonstrate an ability to use a classic piece to build a great look. Well done Sart."
But the whole point of the entry is the tailored tee and not the other pieces of clothing/accesories on them, isn't it?
gotta have those pleated pants she's wearing!
That top look is classic Brando, right down to the slightly high waisted cut of the trousers. For the film version of Streetcar Named Desire they altered a shirt and shrank it to his form before shooting- they did not manufacture fitted tees at the time.
They look cold… but so cool!
Her windblown hair is lovely. She makes the pants look adorable.
Wake me when this one is over. Yawn.
ohhh, the girl is so perfect!
Yet another person wearing the classic Persol 614 sunglass. I'm going to start referring my clients to this site. The they will see first hand how effortless and cool that particular sunglass is.
The beautiful young lady and handsome gentleman are both spectacular looking in their sleek white tees. It's their very presence that draws me in– not what they're wearing: You can't hide behind the stark simplicity of a white tee. Nothing to do with fashion, just pure style and confidence.
And your composition is awesome sir! Your uncanny ability to capture that one perfect fleeting moment in time that defines the your subject's style is always inspiring.
Thanks for sharing,
This man is handsome and sexy! Who cares about whether his t-shirt is shrunken or tailoered! WOOF! He ahs style in spades!
Adore the girl with the pleated pants! Love how she looks so relaxed and comfortable.
looks so effortless! love the bangs! :)
less is more.
i love it.
i think her PANTS are more interesting))
I just LOVE these photos! I really like the simple look and a great fitting white t-shirt is one of my favorite staples!
Top photo: George Cortina or Mickey Rourke?
The girl in the bottom pic is adorable. I love her face and hair!
Great simple look the bright white give a great look to the outfits.
Does anyone know where to buy pleated trousers like hers?
maybe there are some jealous guys posting that his shirt is too small?
maybe…you have a large gut that would make you look like a oompa loompa if you wore something similar?
With the jacket on, I think the look would be more complete… possibly negating the "too tight comments" or what not for the gentleman… For the beautiful woman, I think that the t-shirt is perfect. Nipples in Paris won't raise anyone's eyebrows.
Hers was lovely. So fresh and so clean. Simple yet elegant.
her look: simple; perfect.
really love that clean and fresh look of the girl…she looks so cute and somehow undramatically beautiful.very natural also as her hais looks so healthy and unstyled and i can't recognise make-up…
Oh my god this guy is sooo hot! Great shape in his 40′s…
To anonymous, 5:17PM -
Aw, as soon as I hit 'Publish' I knew someone was going to say that! I personally tend to think of narcissism as being a negative attribute applying to one's whole personality rather than aesthetic vanity, and very different to simply wanting to look good or being into fashion.
Anyway, it was a harsh choice of wording; I was just trying to imply that I thought it looked overtly self-conscious, but looking back, he does actually look really good – it commands attention, rather than seeking it as I had previously thought.
i'm dying to know what she had on her feet… Sart?
Is that the guy you shot ages ago, wearing the polo with high side vents… he was wearing something similar to this photo. It suits him well…
I believe those are Persols 714
Im actually rather bored of the white "let me pretend I dont care how I look" tee, specially if you carry your blazer like that. Just simply dull
omg she's unbelievably hot…
People, People, c'mon! they both look great!
Nipples ? They hardly show. What is this obsession with nipples ?
i love her trousers and slouchy tee
The pants on her are Isabel Marant, I can also tell the shop behind is Isabel marant in Paris.
My favourite place!!
Great shots
Yet another example that effortless 'cool' can be translated flawlessly via a simple white t-shirt.
Where would I find a t-shirt the same equivalent as this. It is so hard to find a tee these days without some stuppid graphic on it.
love her look – the hair esp. i want the trousers -any ideas where from? also wondering what kind of shoes she was wearing? suggestions?
So effortless! Two of my wardrobe staples- a plain slim-fitting white tee and a loose-fitting black trouser. I am interested to see what shoes she's wearing though.
That man is o so very charming.
Could his t-shirt be any shorter and tighter?:-) I don't see anything special about his outfit.
The girl, on the other hand, looks great. Love her pants.
i really like the white t-shirt look. you cant beat it with a pair of great raw jeans. classic 50′s america thing.
Simple but cute! :D
Persol 649, Great glasses.
I think she looks a bit dossy.. the white tee looks effortless, but the pants looks nice though
proof that the potency of an individual, makes fashion irrelevant…
to me
Very stilish t shirt, simple but awesome…
She needs only a Coolsquare' s touch !

San Diego likes to claim the great 20th-century hardboiled detective writer Raymond Chandler as much as Los Angeles does. Although Chandler wrote about the City of Angels more definitively, it's well known that he wrote The Long Goodbye, Little Sister and Playback in La Jolla, where he lived in the late '40s and '50s. Playback, his last novel, was even set there.
Tours of Chandler's San Diego are well-documented online in blogs: people visit his extant but renovated house in La Jolla; the soon-to-be-demolished Whaling Bar in the La Valencia Hotel, where several scenes in Playback take place; and his gravesite at Mount Hope Cemetery.
But Chandler isn't the only legendary crime writer to have lived and written in San Diego. The other is Jim Thompson.
Maybe you've never heard of him.
But you might've seen Michael Winterbottom's 2010 adaptation of Jim Thompson's 1952 novel The Killer Inside Me, one of the most contentious films in recent years, starring Casey Affleck, Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba. The controversy revolved around the film's graphic depiction of violence against women by psychotic Texas Deputy Sheriff Lou Ford.
Winterbottom's defense of his depiction of extreme brutality was in part that he was being faithful to Thompson's book, whose first-person narration took readers boldly, horribly, directly inside the messed-up mind of a mentally ill killer. Whether or not one accepts Winterbottom's defense (most don't), few questioned its accuracy— probably because most of the critics who hated the movie hadn't read the book.
Thompson's books sold OK in his day, but not well, and not for long. They supplemented a living that he largely squandered in a loop of alcoholism and recovery—when he lived in San Diego during the 1940s, he was in and out of rehab 27 times. His novels were published as pulp fiction— those luridly packaged pocketbooks printed on cheap pulp paper that were the mid-20th-century version of today's grocery-store books—and, to this day, such genre fiction is often ghettoized as second-class literature.
Yet even as their literary reputations have been shaped by the perceived limitations of the crime genre, the best classic-noir writers, like Chandler and Thompson, whose work has endured and defined the motifs of the genre, also elevated it, making it both visceral and meaningful.
In The Killer Inside Me, Deputy Ford attempts to seduce us into seeing things his way, as Thompson filters the novel's world through Ford's banal, folksy, yet sadistic, perspective. Thompson's remarkable fabrication of this wildly untrustworthy voice is what gives the novel its power as a work of art, and what makes the cold objectivity of the camera in the film feel like a failure.
Although The Killer Inside Me is fatalistic rather than redemptive, the antecedent that it brings to mind for most readers is Crime and Punishment. Writer Geoffrey O'Brien once called Thompson a "dime-store Dostoyevsky," and the description fits.
Thompson's stories are depraved but also tragic, surreal and experimental in perspective and form. It's hard not to recognize the literary merit in his effort to expose the horrible heart of a broken mind.
The Killer Inside Me was Thompson's fourth novel, and his second published true noir. His first was written in San Diego, where he lived during the 1940s, at the beginning of his emergence as a crime author.
What follows here is a guide to Jim Thompson's San Diego, should you be brave enough to take a detour from your reality to trace the footsteps of a man with a very troubled mind from which rose some savagely brilliant art.
In his definitive 1995 National Book Critics Circle award-winning biography of Thompson, Savage Art, Robert Polito recounts the journey that led Thompson to San Diego: He came to California in 1940 with his wife, kids, mother and cousin from his home state of Oklahoma to deliver his friend Woody Guthrie's Plymouth sedan to a Communist Party lawyer in San Francisco.
Thompson had been a writer most of his life, publishing journalism and short fiction in periodicals since he was a teenager. A disillusioned communist who'd directed the Oklahoma Federal Writer's Project and written an unpublished working-class oral history, Thompson arrived in San Diego a 34-year-old raging alcoholic who considered himself a complete failure. He'd grown up in the shadow of his charismatic but financially unstable father, a smalltown Oklahoma sheriff who was disgraced out of his job and was always on the run, sometimes from his own family. Resentment toward his father became a central theme to work through in his fiction.
At the urging of his wife, Alberta, Thompson tried to get work writing in Hollywood but had no luck. There he met the great screenwriter Samuel Fuller in a bar in Hollywood. Polito doesn't identify it, but my guess is it was Musso & Frank Grill on Hollywood Boulevard, Thompson's favorite Hollywood hangout, popular among hardboiled writers like Chandler and Sam Fuller. The bar remains entirely unchanged and would make an excellent out-of-San Diego destination on your Thompson tour. Fuller invited him to National City for a Christmas party at the home of celebrated writer Nathaniel West, who would die tragically less than two weeks later with his wife in a car crash near El Centro.
Thompson's cousin Neddie and her husband lived in a small house in Bankers Hill, and took in Jim's family. Thompson took a job scraping paint off of an airplane factory floor. That job led to progressively better jobs via the burgeoning San Diego defense industry build-up for World War II, though he complained that the cost of living was too high in San Diego. He became a timekeeper for Solar Aircraft, and Alberta worked there, too.
First stop on your tour: the Solar Aircraft Co. (now Solar Turbines) factory building at the corner of Laurel Street and Pacific Highway, where a walk around the premises affords glimpses of the WWII-era offices, chapel, Quonset huts and hangars. This was originally a tuna processing plant, and then the site of Ryan Aeronautics, where Charles Lindbergh's Spirit of St. Louis was built.
Now walk up the Laurel Street hill and head south on Second Avenue. Polito quotes Thompson quipping about that walk: "You can tie your shoelaces on [those hills] without stooping."
Arrive at a little Spanish duplex at 2130 Second Ave. This was the first house that the Thompsons rented after moving out of his cousin's house. Polito writes that although the Bankers Hill duplex was "a pressure-cooker" for Thompson's family, "from his front steps he could smoke cigarettes and watch tramp steamers glide out of the harbor."
To get writing done in the cramped quarters, Thompson "was forced into the bathroom, his typewriter plopped down on the toilet seat as he straddled the rim of the tub." Read Nothing More Than Murder, his breakthrough first crime novel, a dark homage to James M. Cain, written in that bathroom in Bankers Hill.
Polito summarizes some of the places Thompson liked in San Diego where you can still see stuff that he saw: "He appreciated strolls in Balboa Park, weekend outings to the Del Mar race track with Alberta and Sunday morning breakfasts at Mission Beach." An insomniac, Thompson would wander the city looking for a drink, and perhaps working out a plot or character: "He enjoyed the nightlife south of Broadway, or he rambled the Spanish Old Town." Imagine a 6-foot-5, lanky man, sleepless, intoxicated, wandering the streets of downtown San Diego at night. That was Thompson. Passersby didn't know what lurked in his brain.
By the following year, the Thompsons had found a cheaper home in Linda Vista, a dull little box of a house at 2601 Nye St. This is where they would live for the rest of the decade. Nothing More Than Murder was a well-reviewed success, but he couldn't find a publisher for his follow-up, Recoil, which would eventually find a publisher in New York a few years later.
For a while, he worked as a reporter for the liberal newspaper The San Diego Journal and briefly as a rewrite man for The Los Angeles Mirror, but his drinking got him fired from both.
Convinced that San Diego was jinxed, Thompson began spending half of his time writing in New York. By the early 1950s, he'd moved his family back east. Over the next few years, he churned out a dozen crime novels, including The Killer Inside Me, The Alcoholics (set inside a rehab institution based on his time in them in San Diego), Savage Night, A Hell of a Woman, A Swell-Looking Babe, After Dark My Sweet and many more—an unprecedented period of productivity that would fizzle, stall, recover and then come to an end in the '70s due to his ongoing struggles with alcoholism and related health problems. When he was dying, he correctly predicted and told his family that he would finally receive recognition a decade after he was gone.
Thompson's daughter Patricia characterized her time in San Diego, constantly feeling the need to protect her mother from Thompson's alcohol-fueled verbal and emotional abuse in an interview with Polito:
"That wasn't a particularly glorious time for me. I don't care if I ever go back to San Diego—I wouldn't care if I never heard the name of San Diego again."
At least we can be glad that, in spite of Thompson's failings in San Diego, his time here also gave us Nothing More Than Murder, his first great thriller, the one that began his legacy as a master at making art from failure.

Eleven wrestlers traveled to Richfield, UT to compete in the tournament, including Matt and Mark Beh, Justus Robison, Thomas Anderson, Tyler Draper, Brayson and Gage Wilcox, McKayd and Keldon LaRose, Zac Musselman, and Shandon Bradford.
The team brought home the third place trophy. This is quite an accomplishment considering there are only 11 wrestlers and the first place team had 56 wrestlers.
Individual medals are awarded to Gage Wilcox (fourth at 104 pounds), Brayson Wilcox (third at 90 pounds), McKayd LaRose (third at 112 pounds), Zac Musselman (first at 120 pounds), and Shandon Bradford (first at 116 pounds).

Bank Name: The Connecticut National Bank of Bridgeport
State: CT – Connecticut
Charter Number: 927
Lifetime: Operated 1865 to 1921 | Total Issue – $5,013,300
Series: $1 – Original Series National Banknote
Sheets Printed: 10,600
Value: Call, Text, or Email For A Quote | email@example.com | 864-430-4020
Basic Design:
Rarity and Value: These typically aren't prohibitively scarce. However, they usually do represent the earliest bank notes that are available from most institutions. A very generic note could be worth as little as $400. Notes from rare banks could be worth several thousand dollars. The best of the best could sell for more than $10,000. Contact us for details. Don't forget to check the serial number. Number 1 notes always sell for nice premiums.
Current Market Analysis: The best notes from Connecticut were issued prior to 1900. Some 1902 red seals have the chance to be worth good money, but they are still relatively common for the type. Very few blue seals from Connecticut are considered scarce or valuable. The same applies to small size notes from 1929. You want to look out for traditional rarities like first charter deuces. Denominations higher than $20 are also scarce. There are lots of beautiful notes from Connecticut that can be bought for very reasonable prices. Generally speaking, the type of note is more important than the town. This is common for banks in New England.
We Are Buyers!!!

We are also collectors, experts, and appraisers. We have contributed to numerous price guides and are considered specialists in the field of national currency.

Strawberry-Almond Cream Tart (Adapted from Cooking Light)
For the crust
11 whole rectangle graham crackers
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
4 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
pinch salt
For the filling
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
pinch salt
For the topping
3 cups hulled small fresh strawberries, divided
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 tablespoon potato starch
1/2 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
To prepare the crust
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a food processor, add graham crackers and process until crumbly. Add sugar, melted butter and salt - pulse until the mixture is moistened. Scoop mixture into a 10" round tart pan coated with cooking spray. Firmly press crumbs over the bottom and 3/4" up the sides (make sense?). Place pan into the oven and bake until lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove and place pan on a wire rack to cool completely.
To prepare the filling
In a medium bowl, add cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, almond extract and salt - stir until smooth and combined. Scoop onto the crust and evenly spread over the bottom with an off-set spatula.
To prepare the topping
In a food processor, add 1 cup strawberries - process until pureed.
In a small saucepan, add strawberry puree, sugar and cornstarch, whisking until smooth. Set over medium heat - bring to a boil, stirring constantly - reduce heat to low and cook for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and press mixture through a fine sieve over a bowl - set aside and let cool.
In a medium bowl, add remaining 2 cups strawberries and lemon juice, tossing to coat. Arrange berries, hulled side down, in a circular pattern over filling. Spoon glaze evenly over the top of the berries. Sprinkle toasted nuts around the edge. Cover and place tart into the refrigerator to chill for at least three hours before serving.
Makes about 8 servings.

Resolution of the Board of Directors of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers Calling for an End to the War on Drugs
New York, New York
November 4, 2000
WHEREAS, billions of dollars have been spent by the federal and state governments to eradicate the use of drugs by imprisoning close to a million convicted drug offenders without significantly reducing the availability and use of drugs;
WHEREAS, during the last twenty years there has been a significant erosion of civil liberties, particularly involving the right to privacy, in the name of winning the so-called War on Drugs;
WHEREAS, the population of the United States constitutes less than 5% of the world's population, yet its prisons now house 25% of the worldwide prison population, principally due to the incarceration of drug offenders;
WHEREAS, the number of Americans imprisoned for violating the drug laws increased from 1980 to 1996, from 41,000 to 958,000 while the number of young Americans serving sentences in state prisons for drug offenses quadrupled from 31 per 100,000 in 1986 to 122 per 100,000 in 1996;
WHEREAS, application of our nation's drug laws has been racially discriminatory, whether intentional or unintentional, in that a disproportionately high percentage of African-Americans (62.7% of the drug offenders sentenced to state prisons are African-American although they only constitute 12% of the population) have been sentenced to prison despite the fact, that according to government estimates, approximately five times as many Caucasians use cocaine than African-Americans;
WHEREAS, federal minimum mandatory sentencing for cocaine offenses unreasonably punishes possession and use of cocaine base far more severely than possession and use of cocaine powder resulting in longer terms of imprisonment for African-Americans than Caucasians for committing similar offenses;
WHEREAS, in California, for example, 5 African-Americans are in prison for every 1 enrolled in a state university;
WHEREAS, states with higher rates of imprisonment for drug offenses also have had higher rates of continuing drug use thereby demonstrating that harsh sentencing laws do not significantly deter drug use;
WHEREAS, in a nation of 200 million people the number of drug users is relatively small given that reasonable estimates of the number of marijuana users is around 10.5 million while the number of cocaine and heroin users is only around 2 to 3 million people;
WHEREAS, abuse of legal drugs such as alcohol and tobacco represent a far more serious health problem than use of marijuana, cocaine, or heroin in that alcohol abuse is a relatively common factor in assaults and vehicle accidents causing far more damage and injury to others than marijuana, cocaine or heroin use;
WHEREAS, addiction to any substance, whether legal or illegal, is really a health problem best treated by the medical community and others trained in the causes and treatments of addiction;
BE IT RESOLVED that the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, the pre-eminent organization of criminal defense lawyers whose membership numbers more than 10,000, calls upon federal and state governments to:
1. End the War on Drugs by declaring all drug use to be a health rather than a criminal problem and immediately repeal all laws criminalizing the possession, use and delivery of controlled substances;
2. Cease and desist from all involvement in foreign countries calculated to end the cultivation and or production of controlled substances;
3. Release every individual now imprisoned solely for conviction of a drug offense;
4. Create and adequately fund a federal Department of Drug and Addiction Services (DDAS) which shall sell previously denominated controlled substances to any person over the age of 21 at prices below their street value so as to end the black market in drugs while setting aside a portion of the revenues collected to establish and maintain free clinics nationwide for drug education and the treatment of addiction.

From GEMwiki
Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM)
Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) is a broad-based, community-initiated research program on the physics of the Earth's magnetosphere and the coupling of the magnetosphere to the atmosphere and to the solar wind. The purpose of the GEM program is to support basic research into the dynamical and structural properties of geospace, leading to the construction of a global Geospace General Circulation Model (GGCM) with predictive capability. This GGCM model will be modularized and will complement parallel developments of magnetohydrodynamic models. The strategy for achieving GEM goals is to undertake a series of campaigns and focus groups, in both theory and observational modes, each focusing on particular aspects of the geospace environment.
The Geospace Environment Modeling (GEM) program is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences.
What's New
- The annual GEM mini-workshop will be held in San Francisco on December 14, 2014 before the Fall AGU Meeting. Stay tune for more details.
- The 2014 GEM Summer Workshop was held during June 15-20, 2014 at the Renaissance Portsmouth Hotel & Conference Center in Portsmouth, Virginia. See the 2014 Summer Workshop page for the Focus Groups that conducted sessions at the Workshop.
- The following new Focus Groups have been selected to start from Summer 2014:
- Geospace System Science
- Inner Magnetosphere Cross-Energy/Population Interactions (IMCEPI)
- Quantitative Assessment of Radiation Belt Modeling

The Boudler-based "Beetle Book"
Boulder-based Steve Jenkins, whose cut-paper art won him a Caldecott Honor, has a new book on one of the Earth's most prolific creatures.
The stats include some that are a little unnerving if skittery six-legged critters give you the creeps.
Even if you don't much like beetles in real life — hey, I left Florida partly to escape cockroaches big enough to serve as passenger vehicles — it's impossible to deny that some of them are gorgeous, especially the rose chafer beetle (on the dust jacket, and page 8) and the aptly-named jewel beetle.
Jenkins' collection of arcane facts is addicting. The plumed antenna of a feather-horn beetle help it detect chemical messages; the spiky golden hairs on the African jewel beetle sense approaching predators.

if the eight bonus zones are meant to represent the eight tribes, then why does each chief not live in his home area instead of elsewhere? the chiefs ought to start neutral (2 neutrals each) because of their importance to bonuses.
