The nominations for the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards were announced Thursday morning by the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn. at the Beverly Hilton. In a sign of the ever-increasing breadth of quality television and the sometimes idiosyncratic taste of the HFPA, a host of newcomers such as "Orphan Black," "Orange Is the New Black," "House of Cards," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" and "Masters of Sex" received nominations, while established awards favorites "Mad Men" and "Homeland" were shut out entirely.
In the TV drama series category, AMC's Emmy-winning "Breaking Bad" and PBS' "Downton Abbey" were nominated along with new entries "Masters of Sex" (Showtime) and "House of Cards" (Netflix). The CBS legal drama "The Good Wife," currently earning rave reviews for its fifth season, earned a slot for the first time since 2010, ending an awards trend that saw broadcast television shut out of the category in recent years.
On the comedy side, the HFPA skewed toward the networks. Fox's freshman cop show "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" was nominated along with Emmy juggernaut "Modern Family" (ABC), "The Big Bang Theory" (CBS) and "Parks and Recreation" (NBC). Last year's winner, the HBO series "Girls," was the only cable program to score a nod.
The premium network Starz fared surprisingly well in the miniseries or TV movie category, where it picked up nominations for the historical epic "The White Queen" and for the jazz-era "Dancing on the Edge." Other contenders include the Emmy-winning "Behind the Candelabra" (HBO), "Top of the Lake" (Sundance) and "American Horror Story: Coven" (FX).
The acting categories included a similar mix of old favorites and fresh faces. Bryan Cranston earned his final drama actor nomination for "Breaking Bad," where he will face off against newcomers James Spader ("The Blacklist," NBC), Michael Sheen ("Masters of Sex," Showtime), Liev Schreiber ("Ray Donovan," Showtime) and Kevin Spacey ("House of Cards").
Tatiana Maslany, a critical favorite for her performance in the BBC America sci-fi series "Orphan Black," received her first nomination for best actress in a drama series, as did Taylor Schiling for Netflix's similarly praised "Orange Is the New Black." Other contenders are Kerry Washington ("Scandal," ABC), Julianna Margulies ("The Good Wife") and Robin Wright ("House of Cards").
In the comedy actor category, newbies Michael J. Fox ("The Michael J. Fox Show," NBC) and Andy Samberg ("Brooklyn Nine-Nine") will face off against perennial nominee Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory") and last year's winner, Don Cheadle ("House of Lies," Showtime). Jason Bateman, a winner in 2005 for "Arrested Development" when it was on Fox, was nominated for its revival this year on Netflix.
"Parks and Recreation" star Amy Poehler, who will cohost the awards telecast with Tina Fey, was nominated once again for actress in a comedy or musical, a category which tended toward established favorites. Also receiving nods were defending champ Lena Dunham ("Girls," HBO), Emmy favorite Julia Louis-Dreyfus ("Veep," HBO), Edie Falco ("Nurse Jackie," Showtime) and Zooey Deschanel ("New Girl," Fox).
The acting nominations for TV movie/miniseries also proved an eclectic mix. For best actress in a TV movie or miniseries, the nominees are Helena Bonham Carter ("Burton and Taylor," BBC America), Rebecca Ferguson ("The White Queen"), Jessica Lange ("American Horror Story: Coven"), Elisabeth Moss ("Top of the Lake") and Helen Mirren ("Phil Spector," HBO).
The leads of "Behind the Candelabra," Michael Douglas and Matt Damon, both received nods for best performance by an actor in a miniseres or TV movie. Other nominees include Chiwetel Ejiofor ("Dancing on the Edge"), Idris Elba ("Luther," BBC America) and Al Pacino ("Phil Spector").
For supporting actress in a series, miniseries or TV movie, the nominees are Jaqueline Bisset ("Dancing on the Edge"), Janet McTeer ("The White Queen"), Hayden Panettiere ("Nashville," ABC), Monica Potter ("Parenthood," NBC) and Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family").
And for supporting actor in a series, miniseries or TV movie, the nominees are Josh Charles ("The Good Wife"), Aaron Paul ("Breaking Bad"), Jon Voight ("Ray Donovan"), Rob Lowe ("Behind the Candelabra") and Corey Stoll ("House of Cards").

Health Benefits
When it comes to figuring out what makes apricots so good for you, take a hint from the bright orange color. Apricots derive their pigmentation from carotenoids such as beta-carotene and beta-cryptoxanthin.
The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which contributes to healthy eyes, skin, hair, gums, and glands. Beta-cryptoxanthin may reduce the risk of lung cancer.
Another antioxidant in healthy supply, vitamin C boosts immunity and promotes quick wound healing.
This fragile, peachlike stone fruit also contains its fair share of minerals, too, most notably potassium. An electrolyte, potassium helps regulate blood pressure, maintains muscle function, and converts blood sugar into glycogen, a type of energy that the body stores and uses when needed.
If you can't get fresh, go with dried apricots-and reap their nutritional rewards. Ounce for ounce, the dried variety has more than three times the fiber of fresh, plus more iron and potassium. (Removing water concentrates nutrients.) In fact, with 755 milligrams of potassium per serving, dried apricots have nearly twice the amount as a banana.
Grilled Apricots and Pork Tenderloin with Honey Glaze
Simple Poached Apricots
How To Buy
Choose plump, golden-orange-hued apricots without soft spots. Once home, they shouldn't sit for too long. Apricots ripen more quickly than other stone fruits. Because of this, they don't travel well; buy locally grown apricots to ensure the most flavorful fruits. Refrigerated ripe apricots should last two days.
With dried apricots, note that most varieties are treated with the preservative sulfur dioxide to maintain their bright orange color. Instead, seek out unsulfured fruit.
Cooking Tip
If you need to peel a fresh apricot, first cut an "x" in the skin, then blanch the fruit by submerging it in boiling water for 20 to 60 seconds. When the skin starts to wrinkle, remove and plunge it into a bowl of ice water. Once cooled, peel the skin with your fingers or a small paring knife.
Did You Know?
The Hunza people of northern Pakistan, whose diet is especially apricot-rich, are renowned for their overall excellent health. Their longevity is often attributed to their consumption of the small orange fruit.

Struggling Panthers ready for Markstrom eraby Alain Poupart
SUNRISE, Fla. -- The Jacob Markstrom era has arrived for the Florida Panthers.
Long touted as one of the best goalie prospects around, Markstrom should be in line for his first extended action in the NHL with veteran Jose Theodore out 5-6 weeks with a leg injury.
Even Panthers general manager Dale Tallon acknowledged that Markstrom's time has come.
"You'd have to say yes," Tallon said Tuesday morning. "We've got a lot of confidence in the young man and he's got a lot of confidence in his abilities. He's big and strong. We were hoping to hold off a little bit, but let's go. Let's see if he can do it, and I'm very confident that he can."
With both Theodore and veteran backup Scott Clemmensen struggling, Markstrom was called up from San Antonio of the American Hockey League and started against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Feb. 22 and the Boston Bruins two days later.
Even so, Markstrom was sent back to San Antonio after his two starts before getting the call again.
"He's a kid on his way up," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said. "Obviously, with two goalies right now it gives us the option that Jacob is going to get a good body of work here and be able to get away from and not talk about potential and get to the real deal. I have a strong belief in him as a person and as a goaltender."
Markstrom, a second-round pick in the 2008 NHL Draft, made his debut in the League when he appeared in one game in the 2010-11 season after he made the move from his native Sweden to North America.
He also appeared in seven games last season, and now he's ready for his big chance.
"Obviously, I've been wanting to be here for three years and I've been working hard and here is the opportunity," Markstrom said. "Obviously, you don't want to see Jose hurt. He's a great guy and a great goalie. He's really been helping me all last year and this year when I've been up here. You don't want to see a guy like that get hurt. But hopefully I get to play and we win some games.
"I've been feeling like I'm ready a long time. Just working hard down there in San Antonio, and now I'm here. I'm just excited to be here."
Although Dineen doesn't reveal his starting goaltender, it's expected Markstrom will get the nod Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets.
"I've seen him play. He can make the difference in the game right away. Right away, he becomes the equalizer."
-- Jets coach Claude Noel on Jacob Markstrom
Jets coach Claude Noel not only said he was expecting Markstrom to start, but he mentioned him first when he talked about the reasons his team shouldn't take the struggling and injury-ravaged Panthers lightly.
"Markstrom, first of all, can win a game by himself," Noel said. "He's starting. I've seen him play. He can make the difference in the game right away. Right away, he becomes the equalizer."
The 6-foot-6 Markstrom, who turned 23 on Jan. 31, was recalled Sunday after Theodore was placed on injured reserve.
But any thought of Markstrom getting the start against the Carolina Hurricanes that day vanished when his equipment -- along with that of defenseman Nolan Yonkman, also called up from San Antonio -- failed to make his flight to Fort Lauderdale.
Markstrom said he had some old gear at BB&T Center, but was missing his skates. So while he waited for his equipment to arrive, goaltending coach Robb Tallas served as Clemmensen's backup for the first 16 minutes of Sunday's game.
"Tallas is a good goalie," Markstrom said with a smile, "I have no problem seeing him out there."
Now, Markstrom has his equipment and he's ready to show what the fuss was all about.
Markstrom is one of the many highly touted prospects in the Florida organization. He's joining three others who already are making significant contributions: defenseman Erik Gudbranson, center Drew Shore and left wing Jonathan Huberdeau, who was named NHL Rookie of the Month for February and had both Panthers goals in Sunday's 3-2 loss to Carolina.
"It's a big opportunity," Gudbranson said. "The exciting part about it is seeing him walk into the room knowing he's got a big chance here to prove himself and earn himself a spot. As a team, we're very excited. He's one of the top young goalies coming up, for sure. He works hard, he's big in the net and he's a pretty good teammate too. He's good to have around the room. We're very excited to have him."

Pregnant women should get flu vaccination
The Florida Department of Health in Franklin County urges pregnant women to receive the flu vaccination due to the increased impact that influenza infections are having on pregnant women and their babies in Florida this year.
�The flu vaccine is the single best way to prevent flu,� said Marsha Lindeman, administrator of the county health department. �We want to make sure people understand how important it is for pregnant women to receive the influenza vaccination to protect themselves and their babies.�
The county health department recommends all individuals age six months and older receive the flu vaccination each year. It is especially important for pregnant women to be vaccinated due to the increased risk of complications associated with contracting the flu while pregnant. The flu vaccination is safe and will protect the mother, her unborn child, and babies during the first months after birth.
Additional flu prevention steps include washing your hands often, keeping your hands away from your face and covering your mouth and nose with a tissue when sneezing and coughing. Symptoms of the flu include headache, fever, severe cough, runny nose or body aches. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, see your primary care provider immediately for guidance on treatment. For more information on pregnant women and influenza, visit www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/vaccine/pregnant.html
It is important for you and your family members to get a flu vaccine every year. Flu vaccines are offered in many locations, including doctor�s offices, clinics, health departments, retail stores, pharmacies, health centers, and by many employers and schools. Check with your physician, the county health department or visit www.floridahealth.gov/prevention-safety-and-wellness/flu-prevention/locate-a-flu-shot.html to search for a location to receive a flu vaccine.
DOH protects, promotes and improves the health of all people in Florida through integrated state, county and community efforts.

What's in a name? Child abuse?
Everyone needs a hobby. Mine is Fun Name Change Cases. I first got hooked 15 years ago, when I read about Michael Herbert Dengler, who wanted to change his name to 1069. "The only way [my] identity can be expressed is 1069," he insisted. Twice. To state supreme courts. With an elaborate theory for each digit: For instance, "The third character, 6, is equal to the relationship I have with the universe in my understanding of space of my spatial occupancy through this life." Now this was a field of law to watch, I knew.
Then came the news last week about Talula Does the Hula From Hawaii, a 9-year-old New Zealand girl. A New Zealand Family Court judge apparently viewed this name as a form of child abuse—the girl had complained that "[s]he fears being mocked and teased" about it—and asserted legal custody over the child so as "to ensure that a proper name was found for her."
Now that this has been validated as a matter of global legal significance, I present the following brief work of legal scholarship. Would-be 1069s and Talulas Do the Hulas, here are the precedents:
1. 1069. No dice. The North Dakota Supreme Court (1976) and Minnesota Supreme Court (1979) both say: Names can't be numbers. [Petition of Dengler, 246 N.W.2d 758 (N.D. 1976); Application of Dengler, 287 N.W.2d 637 (Minn. 1979).]
2. III, to be pronounced "Three." Nope, on the same grounds, said the California Court of Appeal in 1984 to Thomas Boyd Ritchie III. A concurring judge asserted that the problem was that III was a symbol, rather than just that it was a number. Such subtle distinctions are what law is all about. [In re Ritchie, 159 Cal. App. 3d 1070 (1984).]
3. Mary R. No, decided the Pennsylvania Superior Court in 2000, dealing with a petition by Mary Ravitch, who no longer wanted to use her ex-husband's last name and who didn't want to return to her maiden name (Gon). "Appellant's desired surname is so bizarre that it would likely be met with repeated suspicion and distrust in both business and social settings." [In re Ravitch, 754 A.2d 1287 (Pa. Super. 2000).]
4. Misteri Nigger, second "i" silent. No, said the California Court of Appeal in 1992, because it constitutes "fighting words": "[I]f a man asks appellant his name and he answers 'Mister Nigger,' the man might think appellant was calling him 'Mister Nigger.' Moreover, third persons, including children hearing the epithet, may be embarrassed, shocked or offended by simply hearing the word. This example illustrates how use of the name may be 'confusing' with the potential for violence." Definitely does sound like asking for trouble; "Russell Lawrence Lee" is much safer. [Lee v. Superior Court, 9 Cal. App. 4th 510 (1992).]
5. Santa Claus. A split among the courts: An Ohio judge in 2000 rejected Robert William Handley's attempt to become Santa Robert Clause, because:
The petitioner is seeking more than a name change, he is seeking the identity of an individual that this culture has recognized throughout the world, for well over one hundred years. Thus, the public has a proprietary interest, a proprietary right in the identity of Santa Claus, both in the name and the persona. Santa Claus is really an icon of our culture; he exists in the minds of millions of children as well as adults.
The history of Santa Claus—the North Pole, the elves, Mrs. Claus, reindeer—is a treasure that society passes on from generation to generation, and the petitioner seeks to take not only the name of Santa Claus, but also to take on the identity of Santa Claus. Although thousands of people every year do take on the identity of Santa Claus around Christmas, the court believes it would be very misleading to the children in the community, particularly the children in the area that the petitioner lives, to approve the applicant's name change petition.
But the Utah Supreme Court in 2001 let David Lynn Porter become just plain Santa Claus, and never mind the children: "Porter's proposed name may be thought by some to be unwise, and it may very well be more difficult for him to conduct his business and his normal everyday affairs as a result." (D'ya think?) "However, Porter has the right to select the name by which he is known, within very broad limits." [In re Handley, 736 N.E.2d 125 (Ohio Prob. Ct. 2000); In re Porter, 31 P.3d 519 (Utah 2001).]
6. Koriander, with no last name, apparently chosen because of Rosa Linda Ferner's "attraction to a name that sounds appropriate for her work as an artisan." Just fine, a New Jersey judge ruled in 1996. [In re Application of Rosa Linda Ferner to Assume the Name Koriander, 685 A.2d 78 (N.J. Super. L. 1996).]
7. They, again with no last name. OK, said a Missouri judge to a petition by the inventor formerly known as Andrew Wilson. They (not they, They) explained the rationale: "'They do this,' or 'They're to blame for that.' Who is this 'they' everyone talks about? 'They' accomplish such great things. Somebody had to take responsibility."
8. Darren QX [pronounced 'Lloyd'] Bean!. No problem!, holds our friend the California Court of Appeal in 2006. [Darren Lloyd Bean v. Superior Court, 2006 WL [pronounced 'Westlaw'] 3425000 (Cal. App.).] Bean!, who recently sat for the Oregon State Bar, reported that, "Many of his close friends greet him as 'Bean!' When saying his name, friends raise the pitch and the volume of their voices above their usual spoken tone." The court didn't opine further on this, because "this information is not contained in the appellate record." Still, the court reasoned, if O'Rourke is fine, so is Bean!. What's more, the court reported,
At least three people have changed their names to the names of websites with a ".com" in the name. Virginia animal rights activist Karin Robertson legally changed her name to GoVeg.com in 2003 to bring attention to a website of her employer, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. Other activists also changed their personal names to websites with ".com" in the names, including "Kentucky fried cruelty.com" and "Ringling beats animals.com." We do not find a legal distinction between a period inside a word, a hyphen between words, an apostrophe in a word, and an exclamation point at the end of a word.
Speakers of !Xóõ and similar click languages must be happy about that.
9. Boys changing their names from, or to, Sue. No known cases.

A Pro's Own Bathroom with a View
Home Work: Design Professionals' Own Baths
What plans do professional, award-winning designers create for their own rooms? With Home Work, we peek into the houses of leading architects and designers to see the bathrooms they have produced for themselves.
The Arizona desert outside designer Lori Carroll's bathroom window gave her the brainstorm she needed when it came time to remodel the room.
"My inspiration came from a grove of mesquite trees and a natural wash and the yearning for a relaxing environment," she says. From there, the design process became a little more amorphous.
"I don't always know where it comes from," admits Lori, who has her own design firm in Tucson and won the National Kitchen and Bath Association 2006 Pinnacle of Design award for Best Overall Project and for Best Bath award.
Lori says she started with materials she liked and put the design together from there, with no backward glances or second guesses, which is good, because she was on a tight schedule. Lori and her husband bought the circa-1990s home in late 2002, and she had only a couple of months to come up with designs for the areas they wanted to change. One of those changes included turning the original master bath, a suspect blend of pink porcelain and Southwest-style tiles, into an office and taking space from an extra bedroom for the master bath. The main reason for the rearrangement was privacy. The old master bath had huge windows around it with a view straight into the next-door neighbor's house.
Lori found that designing her own space was a whole different design ballgame from working for clients.
"It's hard when it's your own house, because you have to live with it," Lori says. It's one thing to dream, create and design a space for a client, she says, since it's the client who lives with it day in and day out. It's another thing entirely to live with it day in and day out yourself. Fortunately, says Lori, she still loves her bathroom, which is the ultimate test of a design's success.
Lori listens to her clients' requirements and starts the design process from there. And that was what she did this time, too: What did she need and want in a master bath? A steam shower and storage were at the top of her agenda, and Lori met those requirements as well as others, such as leaving the toilet in the same place, all done with style.
That style includes a masterful mix of materials, a signature trait of her work, which gives Lori's designs variety and interest without enormous fuss. Her own master bath design was no exception; slate and pewter tiles, granite, glass, wood and silver leaf are some of the materials Lori used, their colors echoing the desert outside.
The steam shower has desert-colored prairie slate from floor to ceiling, the walls covered with large tiles in rich hues of gold and gray, interspersed with 1-inch mosaics surrounding 4-inch square pewter and prairie slate tiles. A custom-designed Grohe shower system supplies the steam part of the shower and a custom-made glass door keeps the steam inside. Looking through the door from the shower, there's a view of the line of mountains that lie beyond the desert, a purposeful alignment, according to Lori.
Pewter tiles also line the backsplash above the vanities, surrounded by the prairie slate mosaics. The countertops below are seafoam green granite with undermounted Kohler sinks and sleek Kohler faucets. Just above each sink are mirrors that Lori first used in a design house. She liked their irregular shape and backlighting so much, she used them in her own house, and their asymmetrical quirkiness is just the right accent for the geometric lines of the bath. Behind them, ICI Paints Khaki Green, a warm sage, brings out the other desert colors in the vanities and chest.
The vanities are anigre wood veneer and the chest in between them is custom-made. It's constructed of MDF and covered with green-tinged silver leaf. A glass top makes it bathroom-friendly. Across from the sinks and chest is a built-in anigre cupboard with shelves above a two-door storage area on the bottom. Three graduated floating anigre wood shelves above the silver-leaf chest hold pictures and other decorative objects.
For lighting, Lori went with Artemide's modern classic Tolomeo design in a suspension version with a lamp on each of two arms sprouting from a central rod, one above each sink. Square lights from Bega, almost flush with the wall, are set on each side of the sinks for additional lighting.
The square lights echo the mosaic slate and pewter tiles throughout the bath, as well as the square bronze Century hardware on all the cabinetry; even the ottoman's material has squares sprinkled throughout. The curving linear grain of the anigre wood provides a nice contrast to the recurring cubist theme.
It all adds up to a luxurious but easy-going master bath. Lori says she wouldn't do anything differently, except perhaps to spend less money, a universal wish among home remodelers. And her favorite thing about the bath? The steam shower.
"I use it every single morning!" she says.

lessons learned in improv
gets into some weird situations.
He lives in Danbury and works as a computer programmer. But on a recent Saturday night, he found himself in Ridgefield, interviewing a woman who knits with potatoes.
Hodder, 48, could have walked away and told her she was nuts, but he didn't. Because the interview was part of an improvisational comedy performance called "Whose Barn Is It Anyway?" The show was presented by the Role in the Hay Players, "Anadrol 50" a six member improv troupe at the . Hodder is the troupe's director and fearless leader.
"When doing improv, anything goes," said Hodder. "You deal with whatever scenario is presented and make the most of it."
Hodder's task was to accept the woman's claims as truth, and then make her look good. So naturally, he asked her to talk about her potato knitting book.
"One trick to doing this sort of thing is to be in the moment," said Hodder. "Don't be thinking, Oh, that's impossible!' Just go with it and enjoy the ride."
In this case, the subject of expertise potato knitting was chosen from random words suggested by the audience. It was part of what improv players call "the interview game."
"There's no script to follow," said Hodder. "The great thing about improv is that it's all about creating an atmosphere where people can express themselves and they don't have to be afraid of making a mistake.
"It's very freeing, because you never have to worry," he said. "It puts you in Winstrol W Tabletkach Cykl a situation where no matter what you say, everyone will support you, meaning they'll go along with what's out there. So you feel more comfortable taking chances. That's where assertiveness comes from."
With assertiveness comes confidence, and that too is a useful skill not just on stage, but in life, said Hodder.
Another benefit of this fun and funny art form: It teaches people to be quick on their feet to think fast and be creative.
Sharing an example, Hodder said he was once in an improv game where he played the head of an insane asylum. Someone approached him and was supposed to say "Look out, they're all psychotic!" but mistakenly said, "Look out, they're all psychic!"
"People started acting as if they were psychic and started predicting the future, saying what would happen to me," he said. "They embraced the mistake and got creative."
Hodder loves to make people laugh and never worries that he won't come up with something to say or do. Part of that is because he's had lots practice. He's worked with "Anadrol 50" Gotham City Improv in "Anaboliset Aineet" New York City. And he's training with the Upright Citizens Brigade, also in New York City, started in part by (from "Saturday Night "Achat Anabolisant Belgique" Live").
He's taught improv before and has a class going on in Ridgefield; his students range in age from their 20s to their 50s. They practice exercises like the interview game. In one class a Testosterone Enanthate Cycle Length student "4-chlorodehydromethyltestosterone Ireland" with no knowledge of crocheting was interviewed about it and had to make up its history on the spot. She said it was started by monks and the word "crochet" comes from Bishop Crochet.
Another exercise is called "the tableau game." Someone yells out a word, like "subway," and everyone uses their body to create a still image that represents it, in this case a subway scene. One person might be a straphanger, and so on.
"It helps people get out of their Winstrol 40 Tablet. 2 Mg/Tabl shell," said Hodder, of improv. "Whenever someone tells me they're moving to a new town, I tell them if they want to meet people, join a theater or improv group. You get an instant family that's like a ring of support around you.".


text: Have Corn Prices Peaked? September 13, 2012 09:31 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email USDA's higher-than-expected corn production forecast will likely keep prices under pressure as harvest progress accelerates. Yesterday, USDA's National Agricultural Statistics Service released the September Crop Production Report that contained new survey-based forecasts of the size of the U.S. corn and soybean crops. The World Agricultural Outlook Board released the monthly WASDE report that contains new estimates and forecasts of U.S. and world supply and consumption of corn, soybeans, and wheat. University of Illinois ag economist, Darrell Good, discusses the reports: Here's a brief summary and analysis of the reports, as provided by Good. Corn For the 2011-12 marketing year that ended on August 31, the estimate of U.S. exports was reduced by 10 million bushels to reflect actual export data. The expectation for feed and residual use to be revealed in the September 1 Grain Stocks report was reduced by 150 million bushels in recognition of the likely higher than normal consumption of new crop corn during August. September 1 stocks of old crop corn, to be revealed on September 28, are expected to total 1.181 billion bushels. For the current marketing year, the forecast of the U.S. average yield was reduced by 0.6 bushel to 122.8 bushels, while the forecast of acreage harvested for grain was unchanged from the August forecast. The resulting production forecast of 10.727 billion bushels is only 51.2 million bushels smaller than the August forecast and about 325 million bushels larger than the average trade guess. Compared to the August forecast, the average yield forecasts were increased for most southern and eastern states. Forecasts for the Midwestern states were within 2 bushels of the August forecast, with the exception of the 6 bushel decline in Illinois. The supply of corn for the 2012-13 marketing year is now forecast at 11.983 billion bushels, 108 million larger than the August forecast. The projection of feed and residual use of corn was increased by 75 million bushels, to reflect in part the use of new crop corn during the last month of the previous marketing year. The projection of exports was reduced by 50 million bushels to a 27 year low of 1.25 billion bushels. Year-ending stocks are projected at 733 million bushels, 83 million above the August projection, and the forecast of the 2012-13 average farm price was reduced by $.30, in a range of $7.20 to $8.60. For the rest of the world, the largest changes this month included a 2.3 percent reduction in the expected size of the EU-27 coarse grain crop and a 6 percent cut in the expected size of the Russian crop. The forecast of world ending stocks of coarse grains was about unchanged from the August forecast. Soybeans For the 2011-12 marketing year, the estimate of U.S. exports was increased by 10 million bushels and the estimate of the domestic crush was increased by 15 million bushels. Both changes are in line with observed consumption and were generally expected. Year ending stocks, to be revealed on September 28, are projected at an 8-year low of 130 million bushels. For the current marketing year, the forecast of the U.S. average yield was reduced by 0.8 bushel to a 9-year low of 35.3 bushels and the forecast of harvested acreage was unchanged. The resulting production forecast of 2.634 billion bushels is 57.7 million bushels smaller than the August forecast, but essentially equal to the average trade guess. Yield forecasts were increased for some southern and eastern states, but were reduced 4 bushels for Iowa, 3 bushels for Nebraska, and 2 bushels for Missouri and Ohio. Yield forecasts were unchanged for Illinois and Indiana. The supply of soybeans for the 2012-13 marketing year is now forecast at 2.785 billion bushels, 72 million below the August forecast. The small supply will force a cut in consumption of 587 million bushels (15.4 percent) this year and result in minimum year ending stocks of 115 million bushels. The marketing year average farm price is projected in a range of $15 to $17, unchanged from last month's projection. The forecast of the 2013 South American soybean crop was unchanged at a record 5.45 billion bushels. That large crop is being counted on to alleviate the tight supply situation created by this year's small crops in both South America and the U.S. Wheat No changes were made in the supply and consumption forecasts for the current U.S marketing year. The final estimate of the 2012 crop size will be released on September 28. The forecast of the 2012-13 marketing year average farm price is in a range of $7.50 to $8.70, compared to the August forecast of $7.60 to $9.00. For the rest of the world, the only significant change was a 9 percent reduction in the expected size of the Russian crop. Future Price Implications The recent price decline for corn reflected clear indications of a slowing in consumption and some recent reports of higher than expected yields, so that yesterday's reports were not a complete surprise. Still, the higher than expected production forecast will likely keep prices under modest pressure as harvest progress accelerates. Yesterday's production forecast is the second of the season. The USDA October production forecast has historically been reasonably close to the final production estimate as actual harvested acreage and yields are captured. A reduction in the estimate of harvested acreage and another small reduction in the yield forecast would not be a surprise next month. Unless the September stocks report provides a major surprise, however, the slowing pace of consumption suggests that corn prices have likely peaked. Yesterday's reports for soybeans were generally well anticipated. The confirmation of extremely small supplies and the ongoing rapid pace of consumption, however, underscore the need for high prices to ration the small crop. Following recent price declines, prices are now expected to strengthen modestly, at least until there is some confirmation of a slowdown in consumption and crop size is confirmed next month. …………………………… Coverage, Analysis of the Sept. 12 Reports See all of the data, coverage and analysis of today's World Agricultural Supply and Demand Estimates and Crop Production reports.

This is probably utterly boring for anyone who isn't in the UK, but The Apprentice is back!
In the UK we have Sir Alan Sugar, and glorified garden gnome who is in charge of a 800 million empire – I mean garden.
The candidates are uber annoying this year. Let's identify the most annoying;
Sacked in week 1, Nicholas de Lacy-Brown. At 23, he is a trainee Barrister. Whatever, anyone with a name like de Lacy-Brown deserves to be sacked.
Nick likes art. "Some people compare me to Dali."
Yes, and some people compare me to Cindy Crawford.
Also in the boardroom was Raef Bjayou. When I first saw his name, I thought my dyslexia had got worse again, but no, that really is his name.
Says Ralph:
"I am a terrific conversationalist and raconteur with stories to tell…"
Someone, somewhere, loves him:
Sara Dhada has eyes that would outstare a waxwork doll. I am scared, very scared. Oh and she has a really annoying squeaky voice. Girls! Get your squeaky voices to-ge-ther.
Lucinda Ledgerwood is 31. And I'm….12?
Alex Wotherspoon, not Witherspoon, needs to brush his damn hair. What is with the men this year? Grooming, people:
Claire Young, who is luminous orange on the TV, was team leader. I have insider knoweldge that this lady was sacked from her last job so…how they vet their candidates, I don't know:
Mate, your in the wrong reality TV queue, you want the one for 'Make a Boyband':
I don't know why, but this guy is the spitting image of Matt Lucas (from Little Britan):
Michael Sophocles, possibly a descendent of THE Sophocles, loves to be arrogant and has hair like a 20s flapper:
Mmm! This is what I call the creme of Britian! Not!
