Formal assessments are due out soon to determine how badly South Carolina's peach crop was damaged by a cruel freeze on Easter weekend.
But regardless of what official government estimates say, growers throughout the nation's No. 2 peach state already expect a tough year, with fewer peaches that might be more difficult to sell.

TAYLORSVILLE -- "It looks to me like the price of pretty much everything has gone up," said Ruth Orman, shaking her head as she tucked three small bags of groceries into the trunk of her compact car. "Groceries went up last month, and they're even higher now.
She's not alone in her assessment. Grocery prices are going up -- something that the U.S. Department of Agriculture and Food already forecast and then confirmed. It can be seen in this month's Deseret News price comparison on a "fantasy" cart of commonly purchased items, where the total of the average prices had increased 5 percent, as well as in national and local news reports.

The irony contained in wordage on the cover of the card should be obvious: "Opting out of the Marin Energy Authority keeps your options open." How staying with PG&E would keep a customer's options open never gets explained in the opt-out notice. On the reverse of the mailer, in the first of three bullet points, the mailer says the Marin Energy Authority (MEA) "isn't asking anyone's permission" and plans to "automatically take control" of electric supply. The opt-out notice on which that statement is written is part of a mandated process designed to ensure customers get a fair opportunity to stay with PG&E rather than go with Marin Clean Energy, which is the first program for the MEA joint powers agency.

There is substantial uncertainty associated with future interest rate developments. Assumptions concerning developments abroad, oil prices and fiscal policy will influence the current assessment of the interest rate outlook.
