U.S. farmers running out of opportunities to sell corn at profit Posted: 30 Jun 2017 12:14 PM PDT By Mark Weinraub WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. farmers who have been holding out for higher prices for their corn may finally sell their grain below target levels in the next few weeks as a government report released on Friday underscores the huge supplies left in storage bins around the country, analysts said. The U.S. Agriculture Department said that farmers still had 2.841 billion bushels of corn in their storage bins as of June 1, the fifth most ever for that time period. It was the highest June 1 on-farm corn storage recording in 29 years and an indication that the market could remain under pressure until harvest.

IMF to participate for 'last time' in Greek bailout: Schaeuble Posted: 01 Jul 2017 06:30 AM PDT The International Monetary Fund, a key creditor in Greece's bailout, will not participate in any further rescues of the debt-wracked country, Germany's finance minister told a Greek newspaper Saturday. "We have all acknowledged (eurozone and IMF) that the third Greek (bailout) payment will be the last with the participation of the IMF," Wolfgang Schaeuble told Greek daily Ta Nea. The German finance chief has been inflexible on the issue of Greek debt relief, in opposition to the IMF which says it needs to be done to breathe new life into Greece's floundering economy.

Philippine top cop says police try to save lives of drugs war victims Posted: 30 Jun 2017 09:43 AM PDT The Philippines' police chief on Friday stood by anti-narcotics officers and rejected a Reuters investigation that pointed to a pattern of police sending corpses of drug suspects to hospitals to destroy crime scene evidence and hide executions. President Rodrigo Duterte took office in the Philippines a year ago, launching a bloody war on drugs that has killed thousands of Filipinos.

Chicago schools make partial payment to teachers' pensions Posted: 30 Jun 2017 03:25 PM PDT The cash-strapped Chicago Public Schools (CPS) said it sent $464 million to its teachers' pension fund by Friday's fiscal year-end deadline, leaving an additional $250 million payment to be made in the fall. "Only CPS has to take hundreds of millions of dollars out of the classroom for teacher pensions, but despite the unfairness of this law, CPS is meeting its obligation to our teachers' pensions today," CPS CEO Forrest Claypool said in a statement. Unlike other Illinois school districts, which are part of a state-wide teachers retirement system subsidized with state dollars, CPS has its own pension fund.

Germany to pass same-sex marriage law Posted: 29 Jun 2017 11:33 PM PDT Germany is expected to legalise same-sex marriage on Friday, joining many other western democracies in granting gay and lesbian couples full rights, including adoption. The election-year bill is being pushed by Chancellor Angela Merkel's leftist rivals who pounced on a U-turn she made Monday -- a manoeuvre that left many of her conservative lawmakers fuming. Gay and lesbian groups cheered the push for marriage equality in Germany where so-called civil unions were legalised in 2001.

Will the Galaxy Note 8 beat the iPhone 7 Plus in the 2017 camera wars? Posted: 29 Jun 2017 06:49 PM PDT The Galaxy Note 8 will have the best camera Samsung ever made. That's something I could tell you right off the bat, without even looking at rumors and leaks. That's because Samsung improves the camera experience on its flagship handsets every year, looking to fulfill its longtime dream to beat Apple in every department. But it just so happens that there's a new Galaxy Note 8 camera rumor in town that says the phone's dual-lens setup will be better than anyone else's, implying that it'll beat the iPhone 7 Plus in this round of the camera wars. According to SamMobile's insiders, the Galaxy Note 8's camera will "offer better image quality and better background defocus (in portrait mode) than competing smartphones with similar dual-camera solutions." That sounds great, of course, especially as there are plenty of phones to feature dual lens shooters, including the iPhone 7 Plus, the recently launched OnePlus 5, the LG G6, the Huawei P10, and others. The Galaxy Note 8 is expected to feature a dual lens setup with 13-megapixel sensors on each lens, the report says. One will RGB and the other monochrome. We're looking at f/2.0 lenses, and optical image stabilization is apparently included. It's very likely the camera setup will be marketed as Isocell Dual. Samsung's looking to establish a strong Isocell brand for smartphone cameras, and Isocell Dual is the sub-brand that will likely apply to the Galaxy Note 8. Oh, and yes, we definitely expect the Galaxy Note 8 to be the first flagship smartphone to sport a dual lens camera. The rumors said so for months, and the first images based on CAD designs, including one that BGR obtained earlier this week, seem to confirm it. All that remains now is to wait until late August when Samsung should unveil the Galaxy Note 8 in New York.

Clinton Critic Spotlighted in Trump Scandal Posted: 30 Jun 2017 11:52 AM PDT Michael Isikoff talks with Rachel Maddow about Peter Smith's anti-Bill Clinton efforts long before he turned up in the Wall Street Journal's reporting on recruiting hackers to find deleted Hillary Clinton e-mails to help Donald Trump.

Note shows gunman in 2016 Baton Rouge ambush sought to kill police Posted: 30 Jun 2017 02:08 PM PDT The note's contents were among new information offered by local District Attorney Hillar Moore III that provided the most extensive details to date of the shooting rampage.

China's Xi talks tough on Hong Kong as tens of thousands call for democracy Posted: 01 Jul 2017 05:03 AM PDT By James Pomfret and Venus Wu HONG KONG (Reuters) - Chinese President Xi Jinping swore in Hong Kong's new leader on Saturday with a stark warning that Beijing won't tolerate any challenge to its authority in the divided city as it marked the 20th anniversary of its return from Britain to China. Police blocked roads, preventing pro-democracy protesters from getting to the harbor-front venue close to where the last colonial governor, Chris Patten, tearfully handed back Hong Kong to China in the pouring rain in 1997. Xi said Hong Kong should crack down on moves towards "Hong Kong independence".

UN demands electoral timetable for troubled DR Congo Posted: 01 Jul 2017 10:51 AM PDT The United Nations on Saturday called on the Democratic Republic of Congo to publish a timetable for elections which are due by the end of the year. Under a deal brokered last New Year's Eve, President Joseph Kabila agreed to a transitional arrangement enabling him to stay in power pending presidential and legislative elections by the end of 2017. In a statement, the UN's special representative for DR Congo, Maman Sidikou, called on the Independent National Electoral Commission (CENI) "to publish an official, consensus-based timetable, without further delay" for staging the elections.

Samsung is investing billions in manufacturing plants for the next iPhones Posted: 30 Jun 2017 05:00 PM PDT When you think of Samsung and smartphones, chances are you're imagining the Galaxy S8 or a gently smoldering Galaxy Note 7. But as well as making its own smartphones, Samsung is also a significant supplier of components to its rival, including Apple. Since there's only a couple months left until the iPhone 8 is made official, we already have a good idea that Samsung is going to have a hand in supplying OLED panels for Apple's latest and greatest. But according to a new supply chain rumor, Samsung isn't going to stop there. ETNews quotes supply chain sources as saying that Samsung will shortly invest billions of dollars into a pair of new plants for producing OLED panels. The plants won't be up and churning out displays until 2019, but when they are, they'll represent a significant portion of the overall OLED supply. With Apple expected to transition its entire iPhone lineup to OLED panels in the next two years (and Apple is the Pied Piper of component design choices), demand is set to explode. Samsung plans to be sitting there, bucket of panels in one hand and bank account in the other. The price tag is significant: approximately $21 billion over the next few years. The end result should be a total production capacity of 270,000 panels per month. That should be sufficient for Samsung to keep its dominance of the OLED panel market, which has obvious immediate benefits for Samsung's displays division. But it also means that Apple will have to stay on good terms with Samsung, even as Apple's Chinese manufacturing partner makes new moves into the display business.

Moderate Republicans warn of trouble for tax reform Posted: 30 Jun 2017 02:40 PM PDT By David Morgan WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Twenty moderate Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives warned on Friday that efforts to overhaul the federal tax code could be jeopardized by demands for including major spending cuts in a fiscal 2018 budget resolution. In a June 30 letter to House Speaker Paul Ryan, lawmakers from the moderate Tuesday Group said that including hundreds of billions of dollars in cuts to mandatory programs could be "extremely problematic" for tax reform and asked for a budget delay until Senate Republicans finish their debate on healthcare legislation.

Joe and Mika implore Trump not to watch their show in blistering, but sticky, editorial Posted: 30 Jun 2017 07:02 AM PDT After Trump tweeted about "Psycho Joe" and "low I.Q. Crazy Mika" yesterday, the two decided to fight back — with more than his trademark, lazy 140 characters. Scarborough and Brzezinski wrote a powerful op-ed for The Washington Post Friday morning, alleging that the President had an "unhealthy obsession" with the show and encouraging him to "keep his 60-inch-plus flat-screen TV tuned to Fox & Friends instead." SEE ALSO: Trump's tweets were so sexist even Fox News was appalled The two denied that they asked to join Trump's New Years Eve party, adding: "He also claimed that he refused to see us. That is laughable." The morning news show co-hosts admit that they did meet the president for a brief period of no longer than 15 minutes proceeding New Years, and only upon his insistence.  "Putting aside Mr. Trump's never-ending obsession with women's blood," the two write, Mika did get a little, "skin under her chin tweaked," but she wasn't bleeding, and more importantly, her face is none of the president's business.  Trump's tweets, the authors claim, are pattern of his chronic mistreatment of women. "More significant is Mr. Trump's continued mistreatment of women. It is disturbing that the president of the United States keeps up his unrelenting assault on women. From his menstruation musings about Megyn Kelly, to his fat-shaming treatment of a former Miss Universe, to his braggadocio claims about grabbing women's genitalia, the 45th president is setting the poorest of standards for our children," Scarborough and Brzezinski write. At points, the editorial slips into dangerous territory when it claims that the President is too "mentally ill" to watch their show. Neither Scarborough nor Brzezinski are trained clinicians and therefore aren't qualified to diagnose him. A person's mental illness shouldn't disqualify them from watching some TV show. Millions of people with mental illness live full, productive lives and are perfectly capable of watching morning cable news programs without tweeting vile things about women's blood. However unintentional, Scarborough and Brzezinski stigmatize the mentally ill by making an unfounded assumption about Trump's own health. Still, the entire editorial is worth a read.

With the exception of the ultra-conservative Aceh province, homosexuality is legal in Indonesia.
