Question: – In what may be a first in US history, the White House press secretary is reportedly going to receive protection from the Secret Service. A source tells NBC News that the service will protect the home of Sarah Sanders on a temporary basis starting Wednesday. President Trump has the power to sign off on Secret Service protection for any staff member, and sources tell CBS News that it is possible that he will grant extra protection to other high-profile employees soon. The move comes as controversy rages after the Red Hen restaurant in Virginia refused to serve Sanders last Friday. Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters later called for the public to confront members of the Trump administration whenever they could. The Secret Service won't say whether it is protecting Sanders. "For operational security purposes the Secret Service does not comment on its protective operations," a spokesperson tells CNN. The Secret Service usually protects current and former presidents and their families, along with foreign heads of state and major presidential candidates, reports Fortune, which calls it an "unusual level of protection" for a press secretary. Congressional leaders and Cabinet members also sometimes receive Secret Service protection. (Elaine Chao and husband Mitch McConnell were confronted by protesters Monday night.)
Let's expand this into a news article: (CNN) White House press secretary Sarah Sanders is expected to receive Secret Service protection as soon as Wednesday, two sources familiar with the decision tell CNN, but they did not specify how long it will last. 
  
 The Secret Service declined to comment, telling CNN: "For operational security purposes the Secret Service does not comment on its protective operations." 
  
 The news comes days after Sanders was asked to leave a small Lexington, Virginia, restaurant because of her role with the Trump administration, a move that has since sparked a national conversation on civility and public service in the age of Trump. 
  
 Sanders did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.

 No reason was given as to the extension of protection to Sanders. The Secret Service told CNN, “For operational security purposes the Secret Service does not comment on its protective operations.” Sanders didn’t provide comment to news organizations. 
  
 The Secret Service typically protects the president, vice president, their immediate families, former presidents (along with spouses and children under 16), foreign heads of states, and major presidential and vice-presidential candidates and spouses. Press secretaries are not generally on the list. 
  
 The Trump Administration has been criticized over Secret Service costs due to the large size of Trump’s immediate family and his frequent travel to his Florida resort, Mar-a-Lago, to play golf and meet with guests. 
  
 Over the weekend, the owner of Red Hen, a restaurant in Lexington, Va., asked Sanders to leave because of differences with her politics. President Donald Trump later castigated the restaurant on Twitter, saying that the restaurant’s exterior was dirty. The restaurant has also received thousands of negative Yelp reviews. Unaffiliated restaurants with the same name have received calls threatening murder. ||||| White House press secretary Sarah Sanders will receive U.S. Secret Service protection at her home on a temporary basis, sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News. 
  
 The anticipated protection comes after Sanders, one of the most visible members of Mr. Trump's White House, was refused service at the Red Hen restaurant in Lexington, Virginia, Friday night. Sanders said she was told to leave the restaurant in a tweet Saturday, and the incident snowballed to dominate social media and much of the news cycle. 
  
 The Secret Service is not commenting on the matter of Sanders' home protection, which was first reported by NBC News. 
  
 Sources said it is possible other White House staff members will receive similar protection. President Trump can personally sign off on additional protections for members of the White House staff. 
  
 Last week, protesters confronted Homeland Secretary Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen outside a Mexican restaurant in Washington. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, were confronted by a small group of protesters Tuesday evening. 
  
 The Sanders incident in particular has renewed debates about political civility.

– Will American shoppers soon be saying, "I can't believe I can't afford butter?" Butter prices hit a record high on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange this week, and with the levels of the stuff in storage down 42% over this time last year, "Americans are about to be reminded that butter is a luxury," according to Quartz. Butter's price has surged 62% this year, notes Bloomberg, and demand keeps going up: US consumption of the commodity has reached its highest level in 40 years as consumers turn toward natural foods instead of processed ones like margarine. "Ultimately, there's good demand for cream-based products that’s tightening up the market," a broker explains to Bloomberg. "We haven't had a tremendous amount of milk to deal with either, and the quality of fat in milk has gone down." But in the heart of dairy country, an analyst for the University of Wisconsin-Madison predicts prices will start going down again when businesses have finished stocking up for the holiday season. The price of butter "is not going to stay up," a sixth-generation Wisconsin dairy farmer tells the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. He says that the high prices now will allow dairy farmers to get through tougher times like 2009, when farmers were paid less for milk than it cost them to produce it. (Some people have started putting butter in an unusual place—their coffee.)

Answer: Let's expand this into a news article: The price for a pound of butter hit an all-time high Friday on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, the latest in a line of dairy products to see soaring prices this year. 
  
 Butter hit $2.8225 a pound in Friday trading, topping the $2.81 record price it reached in 1998. 
  
 "We're not sure where the top is on this anymore," said Curtis Bosma, an account manager at High Ground Dairy brokerage in Chicago. 
  
 The cash price for butter on the CME began the month of August at $2.40 a pound. Also this year, the price of cheddar cheese hit a record on the CME. 
  
 "We've had high butter prices (in past years) but this is really high," said Mark Stephenson, director of dairy policy analysis at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. 
  
 For now, the market is reacting to butter being in short supply when compared with prior years. 
  
 A U.S. Department of Agriculture report issued Friday showed that butter in cold storage as of the end of July was 42% below where it was last year. 
  
 This time of year is when businesses tend to stock up on butter in preparation for the annual sales increase that occurs as the holiday season approaches, and there is not enough of it in storage, Stephenson said. 
  
 The price of butter is among the factors that make up the price dairy farmers receive for their milk. 
  
 For dairy farmers, the high butter prices are seen as a good thing. But don't look for a massive spending spree among Wisconsin's 10,860 dairy farms. 
  
 The price of butter "is not going to stay up," said Keith York, a sixth generation dairy farmer near Lake Geneva in Walworth County. 
  
 He points to 2009, when the price farmers received for their milk was less than it cost to produce it. 
  
 "There are still farmers who are trying to recover from that," York said. 
  
 York's farming business, which has 1,400 cows, is preparing for the eventual drop in prices. "When the prices are good, we try to increase our equity or increase our cash reserves so we can get through the low prices," York said. 
  
 "We're hoping it doesn't get back to the 2009 prices," he added. The CME cash price for butter that year was as low as $1.09 a pound. 
  
 Wisconsin is the top cheese producer in the U.S. and is second only to California in the amount of butter it produces, according to the Wisconsin Milk Marketing Board. 
  
 Dairy farms in Wisconsin have nearly 1.3 million cows that produce 3.2 billion gallons of milk annually. ||||| Butter futures reached an all-time high in Chicago as Americans’ rising appetite for the fatty dairy spread and rising exports erode U.S. inventories. 
  
 Domestic consumption is projected to rise 0.8 percent to 788,000 metric tons in 2014, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That would be the second-highest ever in data going back to 1965. Shipments in the first six months of the year were up 42 percent from 2013. Demand is rising as milk production trailed analyst expectations, while fat content, used to make butter, is also dropping, according to Eric Meyer, the president of Chicago-based HighGround Dairy. 
  
 Consumers have increased purchases for five straight years, while margarine sales dropped, according to researcher Nielsen NV. The gains left U.S. stockpiles in July 42 percent lower than a year earlier, USDA data show. Tight butter supplies are contributing to higher costs for buyers including Panera Bread Co. 
  
 “Ultimately, there’s good demand for cream-based products that’s tightening up the market,” Dave Kurzawski, a Chicago-based senior broker at INTL FCStone Inc., said in a telephone interview. “We haven’t had a tremendous amount of milk to deal with either, and the quality of fat in milk has gone down.” 
  
 Butter futures for October settlement climbed 1.1 percent to $2.55 a pound at 11:12 a.m. on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, after touching $2.5500002, the highest ever for a most active contract. The commodity is up 62 percent this year. 
  
 U.S. prices are higher than those from other producing nations, signaling American shipments will slow. Butter is averaging $2,985 a metric ton ($1.35 a pound ) in New Zealand, the world’s biggest exporter, the USDA said yesterday. 
  
 “We have a gaping hole with where U.S. prices and where world prices for fat are,” Kurzawski said. “That’s going to have to close at some point.”
