The race at the Mount Fuji was started twice behind the safety car but eventually suspended and stopped due to heavy rain and atrocious weather conditions.
Lotus Praga Team would have largely preferred to give the public a reward for coming to support them. Unfortunately an hour before the regular end of the race time it was decided to not re-start the race. Lotus Praga LMP2's race strategy was playing out well at that tiime as they were the only LMP2 car one pitstop ahead of all others.
The Lotus Praga Team is looking forward to the next round in Shanghai and hoping that they can replicate last year's pole position.

There are a number of things to consider when looking for professional services on anything about carpeting, including deep cleaning, carpet installation, carpet vacuuming, etc. It will be tempting to go for the television advertisement or to choose the lowest bid; however, you should be very careful when choosing a contractor for this service. First off, avoid getting quotes over the phone. You want to make sure that the professional you hire has the right skills set, experience, and the tools to do the job to your satisfaction. If professional cleaning doesn't do the job, contact carpet spring tx for all your flooring needs.
Find out if the professional has experience in carpet cleaning. Generally, it is advisable to choose professionals who are certified by the appropriate organization or agency to offer the service. You should also find out if the professional has a license to offer the carpeting service you need. A competent carpet cleaning professional will ensure that the work is done well and that the right products are used. This means that you will not have to worry about environmental hazards and any damages to your household. You should find out if the contractor uses Seal of Approval cleaning equipment and solutions and whether they vacuum before deep cleaning.
In most cases, customers want to create a good relationship with carpet cleaning professionals. You may not need this service just once, and if you plan for repeat services, then you should be hiring someone with whom you feel very comfortable. The level of customer service offered by the company is one of the things to not ignore. The way a professional treats you is as important as the way he or she treats your property. You'll know that a carpet cleaner is worth your time and attention from the way they answer to your phone call, from the way to ask and answer questions, and their commitment to provide the service on time.
You may also want to compare rates from different carpet cleaning companies if you are on a tight budget. However, do not be lured into thinking that affordable means great service. At times you may be required to pay highly for the best service. You'll be able to get the best carpet services if you take these points into consideration.

PIERCE, NE - SEPTEMBER 26: Chad Potts unloads a 1957 Chevrolet from the Lambrecht Chevrolet dealership in a field on the Lambrecht family farm on September 26, 2013 in Pierce, Nebraska. The car will be auctioned along with about 500 other from the Lambrecht dealership this weekend. When Ray Lambrecht, who ran the dealership with his wife Mildred for 50 years, would get in a new model year car he would put any unsold cars from the previous model year into storage along with any used car trade-ins that remained at the dealership for too long. These leftover cars along with dealership memorabilia will be sold at the auction. Many of his 500 cars being offered at the auction have never been titled and have less than 20 miles on them. An estimated 10 to 12 thousand car enthusiasts from around the world are expected in Pierce, a town with a population of 1,700, for the auction. Bidders from about a dozen countries have already started the bidding at Proxibid.com (Photo by Scott Olson/Getty Images)

Proximal renal tubular acidosis is a disease that occurs when the kidneys don't properly remove acids from the blood into the urine. As a result, too much acid remains in the blood (called acidosis ).
Renal tubular acidosis - proximal; Type II RTA; RTA - proximal; Renal tubular acidosis type II
When the body performs its normal functions, it produces acid. If this acid is not removed or neutralized, the blood will become too acidic. This can lead to electrolyte imbalances in the blood. It can also cause problems with normal function of some cells.
The kidneys help control the body's acid level by removing acid from the blood and excreting it into the urine. Acidic substances in the body are neutralized by alkaline substances, mainly bicarbonate.
Proximal renal tubular acidosis (Type II RTA) occurs when bicarbonate is not properly reabsorbed by the kidney's filtering system.
Type II RTA is less common than Type I RTA. Type II most often occurs during infancy and may go away by itself.
Causes of type II RTA include:
Symptoms of distal renal tubular acidosis include any of the following:
Other symptoms can include:
The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about the symptoms.
Tests that may be ordered include:
Other tests that may be done include:
The goal is to restore normal acid level and electrolyte balance in the body. This will help correct bone disorders and reduce the risk of osteomalacia and osteopenia in adults.
Some adults may need no treatment. All children need alkaline medicine such as potassium citrate and sodium bicarbonate. This is medicine that helps correct the acidic condition of the body. The medicine helps prevent bone disease caused by too much acid, such as rickets, and to allow normal growth.
The underlying cause of proximal renal tubular necrosis should be corrected if it can be found.
Vitamin D and calcium supplements may be needed to help reduce skeletal deformities resulting from osteomalacia or rickets.
Although the underlying cause of proximal renal tubular acidosis may go away by itself, the effects and complications can be permanent or life-threatening. Treatment is usually successful.
Untreated, distal renal tubular acidosis can lead to any of the following conditions:
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of proximal renal tubular acidosis.
Get medical help right away if any of the following emergency symptoms develop:
Most of the disorders that cause proximal renal tubular acidosis are not preventable.

NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Twenty-two senior Westminster College students from the "Auditing" course visited New Castle-based accounting firm Carbis Walker LLP in mid-September for a presentation and networking luncheon.
Students enrolled in the Auditing course study auditing standards and are introduced to the evaluation of internal control, preparation of work papers, report writing, professional ethics, and current auditing trends. They are also taught tools to pass the CPA exam, required for becoming a certified public accountant. According to Jesse R. Ligo Jr. `82, professor of accounting and course instructor, trips to businesses like Carbis Walker allow students to experience the accounting field in a real-world setting.
"It gave our students the opportunities to experience a business luncheon in a relaxed atmosphere and to interact with current accountants and CPAs about their careers and plans," said Ligo. "Carbis Walker provided a professional level experience for Westminster's students as they begin to prepare for interviews and career decisions."
Carbis Walker routinely welcomes area college and university students to their facility to give them background and first-hand information about the public accounting profession. Westminster students attended presentations by Managing Partner James Hunt, Partner and Coordinator of Audit and Accounting Services Brian Kassalen, and Director of Human Resources Natalie Campbell.
"The trip to Carbis Walker was one of the most valuable experiences I have had regarding my education here at Westminster," said business administration major Celeste McBride. "Not only did I learn about the accounting field itself, including information about the CPA exam and the daily responsibilities of the accountants, but Mrs. Campbell was also able to give me direction for my future goal of obtaining my CPA license and information about what to expect in the business world."
"The knowledge I gained from this experience is invaluable simply because it is not the kind that is found in our textbooks, but rather, it is the real-life knowledge that will give me an advantage after graduation," McBride continued.
McBride is a daughter of Kevin and Tracy McBride and a graduate of Grove City High School.
"Going to Carbis Walker was a great experience. It provided us the opportunity to talk with experienced professionals and the see the line of work we would likely get into," said accounting major Sean Figore. "We learned the importance of obtaining a CPA license and the different paths it allows one to explore. This trip allowed me to realize the type of person that public accounting firms are looking for. I feel confident in job searching knowing that Westminster students were able to obtain jobs at respected institutions such as Carbis Walker."
Figore is a son of Timothy and Debbra Figore and a graduate of Springdale High School.
Several Westminster alumni were also at the luncheon as current Carbis Walker staff: Corey Altman `10, Joshua Masters `12, and Kevin McCarty `13.
"I find it very reassuring that firms like Carbis Walker are looking for and hiring Westminster students and graduates," McBride said. "It makes me feel as though my education here at Westminster has real value in the business world."
The accounting major at Westminster is under the Department of Economics and Business. Recent graduates have found employment with PNC Financial Services, UPMC, Moody Investor Services, Ernest & Young LLP, Deloitte LLP, and more. Furthermore, Westminster graduates have recently held or are currently holding six seats on corporate boards of directors, more than 40 presidential positions, and more than 30 vice presidential positions in corporations such as Aetna, Alcoa, Citigroup, Columbia Gas, Fireman's Fund, General Electric, Liberty Mutual, Mellon Bank and PNC.

First the useless printing on farbics, for it imitates a pattern usually produced by the cloths structure itself and therefor is bad design; second a call for the global wear-out of political symbols, for it is perfect to polarize the masses opinion without further knowledge of the matter (in regard of gothic fashion trends, like Keffiyehs used as scarfs by super-models, AK47 toy accessories, and German army jackets); and last but not least a call to peacefully, but destinct protest the actual G8 conference in Kobe the month after. It is a call for "green thinking" in radical matters. An alternative life could produce a world wide society living in peace and harmony with nature. My stand as designer is clear. I know my abilities to produce pretty things that advertise and blind peoples minds, but this is by no means pretty. It is pure concept and only a change of colour.

I couldn't resist sharing a few recent acquisitions. I've been pretty disciplined about buying fabric lately because I'm making a really concerted effort to use what I already have. (I'm trying to 'shop the stash' first.) But I'm always on the look-out for some good I-spy fabrics and those kitsch-y Japanese prints are my weakness.
These two are from Kerri's Etsy shop. (I love shopping with Kerri and I always love her selection!) Check out these two storybook prints. I always crack-up at the German or French text on Japanese prints. And how can you not love those selvages?!
Anyway, I happened to be in the area of Material Girls in South Jordan, Utah one Saturday and found this awesome print from Caramel Town by Lecien. Oh dear, I love this. The best part? It was 25% off that day. As was everything else in the store . . . and that's when I succumbed. Not out of control, mind you, but cash was exchanged. And I'll stop there.
If you are looking to loose a little restraint yourself, Anna at Crafty Girls Workshop is offering a 10% discount with the discount code 'smartquilter'. She's got more Dream On Charm Packs too. I'm just saying . . .

Sailing Toward Standards for Diabetes Device Interoperability (Wind Needed)
A fellow person with diabetes from Germany has braved the open ocean and sailed around the world despite his living with type 1 diabetes.
But when it comes to getting his D-devices to talk to each other and share data, adventure sailor Bastian Hauck feels it's like sailing against the wind into rocky waters.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
My friend had breast augmentation and they just put the implants without tissue expansion.
Rachel McKenna, MSN, CRNP, Nurse Practitioner in the Division of Plastic Surgery at the University of Pennsylvania Hospital, responds:
Placing implants after mastectomy is very different than putting in implants for cosmetic augmentation. When women have an augmentation, their skin and breast tissue are left intact. These healthy tissues are better able to stretch to accommodate and cushion the breast implant. After a mastectomy, your breast skin is very thin. The breast surgeon needs to make sure that all breast tissue is removed and in order to do this you are left with only a very thin layer of breast skin. This breast skin is not able to stretch in the way it needs to in order to accommodate an implant. This is why we have to very slowly and gently stretch the tissues using a tissue expander.
Nov 9, 2010 - Breast cancer patients who undergo post-mastectomy reconstruction report higher satisfaction with silicone implants than with saline implants, according to research published online Nov. 8 in Cancer.

Play Ball! Minnesota was created in 2004 as a partnership between the Twins Community Fund and the organizations that operate youth baseball and softball programs throughout the state of Minnesota. It is a first of its kind collaboration on youth recreation in the region. The goals of Play Ball! Minnesota is to promote and advance the games of baseball and softball for youth.
Play Ball! Minnesota members meet bi-annually to discuss the current state of youth baseball and softball in Minnesota and share ideas to improve the leagues and increase participation. In addition, Play Ball!

Minnesota Mr. Baseball/Ms. Softball Award and the Play Ball! Minnesota High School All-Star Series.
Play Ball! Minnesota celebrates the start of the youth season at the annual Play Ball! Minnesota Youth Coaches Conference. Minnesota Twins alumni, members of the Twins front office and Play Ball! Minnesota members lead general and breakout sessions. The conference features instruction on a variety of timely and pertinent youth topics. The conference is held at the home of the Minnesota Twins, Target Field.
The Play Ball! Minnesota Coaches' Clinics are free for communities to host and are available through an application process. The current clinic format, developed by Play Ball! Minnesota Ambassador Brian Raabe is designed to teach coaching techniques in all of the key aspects of the game. The clinics are perfect for beginner coaches and are also a great way for experienced coaches to learn new concepts and techniques.
The Play Ball! Minnesota Youth Clinics are available to participants and communities free of charge. The Play Ball! Minnesota Youth Clinics format, which focuses on throwing, hitting and base running, was developed by Twins Senior Advisor to the General Manager Terry Ryan and former Twins executive and current Arizona Diamondbacks Special Assistant to the General Manager Bob Gebhard.
The Play Ball! Minnesota Coaches Award honors youth baseball and softball coaches who work to provide a positive youth athletic experience for their players.

I did a thesis on Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) using Cognitive Psychology and Activity Theory as a background. Cognitive Science fascinates me but I have little experience with it. At the moment I'm a PhD student at the IT University of Copenhagen, at the PIT lab studying HCI, but I mainly have a software development background.
In 2007 I got my bachelor degree in applied informatics in Belgium. Immediately after, I started working at the company where I did my internship, AIM Productions. I liked the work and colleagues at the company too much to give up entirely for further studies, so I decided to combine the two. In 2009 I started studying for my master in Game and Media Technology at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands and I graduated in 2012.

Thursday, January 10, 2013
DOVER — Andrew Leach knew his young St. Thomas Aquinas High School boys hockey team was in for its stiffest challenge of the season on Wednesday.
"It was a matter of our kids trying to handle it and they couldn't handle it."
Salem's Kyle Svenson scored to make it 4-1 nearly five minutes into the second period. St. Thomas' Zach Leavitt answered two minutes later on assists from Liam Ross and Palmer, but Soucy completed his hat trick late in the period to give Salem a 5-2 lead. |

We realize that it's only been a few weeks since you received your letter of acceptance to Butler University. We also know you're already starting to think about who you'll be living with next year. With only 231 days left until move-in day, it's perfectly fine to start thinking about whom you'll be bunking with this August.
As a reminder, your housing forms will be sent once you've submitted your deposit. Since you've never lived on a college campus before, we wanted to familiarize you with Butler University's Residence Life. Live-in staff play a huge part in the development and management of our residential communities. In addition, our staff members promote student development through a variety of programs for groups as well as individual interactions. A Resident Assistant (RA) lives on each unit in the residence halls to help students' transition to college and maximize their experience. A full-time Residence Life Coordinator (RLC) manages each residence hall. One or more faculty members live in each residence hall to facilitate a living learning community.
Now that you know a bit more about how Butler operates, here's a list of tips to helping you choose your perfect 'roomie':
- Get a roommate that is like you. You've heard that opposites attract? That's not always the case when it comes to college roommates. If you're sloppy then make sure to get a sloppy roommate. If you're a clean freak then make sure to get a clean freak roommate. If you're a quiet person then get a bookworm roommate. If you love to go out every Friday night then get a roommate that likes to go with you. Be sure to get a roommate that is similar to you and nobody will complain about a messy room or loud music.
- Live with someone you don't know. It probably sounds like a good idea to live with a friend as opposed to a complete stranger, but this isn't always the case. Just because you're friends with someone doesn't mean that you're compatible as roommates. We suggest having Residence Life pick your roommate for you (they have a very high success rate) or finding your roommate on the Class of 2017 Facebook page.
- Set expectations from the beginning. Before you even arrive for move-in day, let your roommate know as soon as you can about your little quirks and preferences. It's not fair to expect him or her to pick up on them right away, and communicating what you need is one of the best ways to eliminate small problems before they become bigger problems.
- Be open to new people and change. Your roommate may have a different lifestyle or religion than you and it is important to be open to new ideas and experiences. You should expect to learn and grown during your time at Butler. Likewise, your roommate should expect the same. As the semester progresses, be comfortable addressing any issue you have and being flexible to your changing environment.
- Pick which residence hall you want to reside in. At Butler, we have on-campus housing for all of our first-year students. All first-year students not living at home with a parent or legal guardian are required to live in one of the University residence halls. Most freshmen live in Ross Hall (co-ed) or Schwitzer Hall (all female) and a few first-year students even live in the Residential College. You will be able to state your preference on your housing forms. We do offer triples for a reduced rate as well.
USA Today College and US News Education both provide helpful articles to help you pick your perfect roommate. Just don't end up with a roommate like this…

Reminders: 12 Ways to Use the Doorknob
Door reminders (or doorknob organizers, or door hangers) are popping up all over the place. I saw this cute erasable one from Day Runner at the NAPO conference. And it's a good thing I did - it's next to impossible to find on their web site. Unfortunately, it's only sold at Office Depot. But there are plenty of other options.
For a somewhat similar product, over at Unica Home, you can find the Knob Note.
The most famous door organizer - it was mentioned on Oprah - is the Doorganizer from Israeli company Monkey Business. It's widely available, at places ranging from The Container Store to Target to Amazon.com.
Over on Etsy, Milk Pail sells this doorknob organizer. [via Apartment Therapy, where the readers expressed some reservations about its functionality and suggested using it somewhere other than on a doorknob]
This door hanger comes from The Paper Princess. [via Cool Mom Picks]
Bob's Your Uncle makes this door hanger pad.
If you want something less garish, here's another door hanger memo pad.
And here's another doorknob memo pad, with a different look.
Here's another reminder pad - this one with a checklist.
If you'd like an "organiser" instead of an "organizer," here's a door handle organiser from the U.K.
And if you'd like to make your own door organizer, FamilyFun has a suggestion. Or you could crochet one.

That MAY have all just changed. Last week I attempted to make sugar cookies with Hannah (age 4) and managed to make it all the way to cookies-in-the-oven without scolding, shouting or pulling my hair out.
I started while she was playing by measuring out the ingredients, eliminating the first of many frustrations. This included cracking the egg, softening the butter and putting all the containers away.
When I called her in I already had the stand mixer in place and the ingredients prepped. She was excited to be cooking and didn't notice the lack of opportunity to throw flour around the room.
I allowed her to pour, spoon and dump in the ingredients one at a time. She allowed me to take pictures.
Based on this idea from Gourmet Mom-On-The-Go, we split the dough into three pieces and colored one pink and one green, leaving one regular cookie color. Then Aunt Stacy came home and helped her roll out the dough. Note: It is MUCH easier to bake with kids when there is another grownup around. Especially Aunt Stacy. No, she is not for hire, she is MINE.
Then I stacked up all three colors and rolled them into a log. And Aunt Stacy took pictures.
We refrigerated the dough log for about half an hour. When I took it out of the fridge Hannah was amazed at the swirl inside the log of dough. Doing sugar cookies this way eliminated another stressful step for me, cookie cutters. I know, I'm not winning any mommy awards here, the cookie cutters are the most fun part. BUT my goal was baking with my daughter, in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. WIN.
The swirls really did look cool.
I will definitely be baking this way again with my kids. Low stress, yummy cookies, lots of (good) memories and great pictures. Not bad for one afternoon!
UPDATED: I didn't initially post the recipe that I used because, honestly... the texture was a bit off and I didn't want to throw anyone under the bus out here for all the internets to see. Then I found out that you shouldn't cook sugar cookies on stoneware or they turn out more like biscuits. Second batch was great! Annie, I knew you wouldn't fail me. I should have had more faith from the beginning. Here's the recipe.

I have been managing international teams on global improvement programmes for FTSE and Fortune 100 companies for the last 10 years or so, and have a pretty good grasp on managing productivity from myself and teams of up to 100 - but still loads to learn.
Got my Prince2 foundation, and familiar with it through various public sector contracts.
I am a long term member of Mensa, the high IQ society, and head up two professional bodies in Scotland: ISACA and the Institute of Information Security Professionals.
Have founded two consultancies, and run large teams for two global professional services firms - so have an excellent view of the balance required at both ends.
Tend to look at the bigger picture, rather than the benefits of a specific tool.

Micrognathia is a term for a lower jaw that is smaller than normal.
In some cases, the jaw is small enough to interfere with the infant's feeding. Infants with this condition may need special nipples in order to feed properly.
Micrognathia often corrects itself during growth. The jaw may grow a lot during puberty. The problem can be caused by certain inherited disorders and syndromes.
Micrognathia is can cause the teeth not to align properly. This can be seen in the way the teeth close. Often there will not be enough room for the teeth to grow.
Children with this problem should see an orthodontist when the adult teeth come in. Because children may outgrow the condition, it often makes sense to delay treatment until a child is older.
Micrognathia may be part of other genetic syndromes, including:
You may need to use special feeding methods for a child with this condition. Most hospitals have programs where you can learn about these methods.
Contact your health care provider if:
The doctor will do a physical exam and may ask questions about the problem. Some of these may include:
The physical exam will include a thorough check of the mouth.
The following tests may be performed:
Depending on the symptoms, a child may need to be tested for an inherited condition that may be the source of the problem. The child may need surgery or devices to correct tooth position.

Another day, another blog. It's been a very interesting day, but unfortunately it has come to an end. We'll see you tomorrow at 9.30am.
IG Markets analyst Chris Weston notes the local market was weak before the jobs figures.
''It hasn't really changed the landscape at all,'' he says. ''We've seen a pretty weak market. Wall Street didn't provide us with much of a backbone to go on.''
But he says there are some positive signs in the US with President Barak Obama saying a resolution to the world's biggest economy's economic woes could be found within a week.
On the other side of the ledger, BHP and Rio offered the most support, rising 0.35 per cent and 1 per cent respectively.
So much for the Commonwealth Bank breaking the $100 billion barrier today: the stock was one of the biggest drags on the market, falling 1.2 per cent, putting the market cap at $97.3 billion.
The market's losses were led by the energy sector, which fell 1 per cent, while financials slipped 0.4 per cent and materials ended flat. The gold sub-index had another bad day, dropping 1.3 per cent.
The market has closed today, pretty much where it's been most of the session: the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index fell 11.1. points, or 0.2 per cent, to 4509.3, while the broader All Ords lost 12.3 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 4515.7.
Some more on the stubbornly strong dollar, which is currently trading at $US1.0461:
- The Aussie is expected to remain resilient in the months ahead, mostly due to a lack of high yielding alternatives, a Reuters poll has found.
- The median forecast of 53 analysts showed the Aussie at $US1.0400 in three months before edging slightly lower to $US1.025 by this time next year. This compared with $US1.0470 where it currently stands.
- But the forecasts ranged from a low of 86 cents to a high of $US1.1200 for the 12-month view, suggesting great uncertainty in the outlook.
- The resilience of the currency would not sit well with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), which reiterated this week the local dollar was "uncomfortably high".
From the ABS today comes a long-awaited correction, Peter Martin notes - employment growth didn't stop during 2011 - it continued at a reasonable pace.
Until today the official figures for 2011 showed fairly flat employment (a loss of 1200 jobs). On paper it was the worst calendar year since 1992 when Australia was emerging from the early 1990s the recession.
In May this year Tim Colebatch took issue with the figures, explaining the Bureau had systematically biased them down during 2011 by plugging in lower than real population growth figures to compensate for earlier mistakenly high population growth estimates.
When the Bureau eventually plugged in the real population growth figures, as did after each census, it would all be revised and the reality would become apparent.
His point was the that the Bureau should have revised as it went rather than biasing future employment estimates to ease away past mistakes.
The head of the Bureau, Brian Pink, stood his ground saying at the time: ''We do not believe that the employment growth that we have shown has been biased in some way by the method - that's our view."
Not now. Today's published revision shows employment grew 48,700 throughout last year rather than falling 1200.
The Bureau is changing its method as well. From now on it'll revise old figures as it goes, at first revising for new information about population every six months, and then from 2014 quarterly.
Following on from that last post on the dollar, here's an interesting chart showing just how strongly the dollar's exchange rate with the greenback and the cash rate have diverged since early 2009. It's a graph the RBA is unlikely to appreciate...
Telstra has won a new contract worth $24 million, providing managed satellite services for Vision Asia, a satellite broadcaster.
Looking back at the general market, CMC Markets trader Ben Taylor says the ASX200 has struggled to hold ground today despite positive overnight leads and an unemployment number which bucked the trend:
- Today's unemployment read caught the market by surprise. The daily onslaught of economic doom and gloom, talk of Australian companies doing it tough and stories of workers being laid off had the market ready for a lift in the unemployment rate.
- The result was a real kick in the teeth to those shorting the Aussie dollar today. Falling job ads, a fall in GDP, our manufacturing industry in heavy contraction mixed with the RBA dropping rates; you'd be forgiven if you believed that today's result would see a rise in unemployment.
- The result paints a merry picture for the Australian economy which is showing signs of uncanny employment resilience despite all the news and data to the contrary.
- If the RBA looks to the unemployment result for guidance it will make it very difficult to see rates cut again in February.
Gina Rinehart has also hit out at Ten, saying the struggling broadcaster could have done more to cut costs in the past.
Mrs Rinehart said the troubled network should have been more prompt in reducing costs during the past two years.
''I think we could have done more there and obviously we are not doing well enough yet with our programming,'' she told reporters after Ten's annual meeting for shareholders.
''So these are things that I hope we will see some more improvements on.''
And here's what Gina Rinehart has to say on her participating in Ten's capital raising:
''[I'll decide] by tomorrow, if I could also add, I did participate fully in the last one.''
As an institutional investor, she has until 5pm Friday to decide.
BusinessDay's Malcolm Maiden has chipped in on Channel Ten and Gina Rinehart.
Ten chairman Lachlan Murdoch told today's AGM that three of the free-to-air broadcaster's big four shareholders - Bruce Gordon, James Packer and himself - will take part in the capital raising, but Mrs Rinehart has yet to commit.
She has until 5pm tomorrow to make her mind up.
Malcolm writes:
It will be very interesting to see what she decides.
A decision not to support the issue and allow her stake to be diluted would pose obvious questions about her continued tenure on the board but she may see Ten as a distraction now – and a costly one at that.
Her losses since she bought in in 2010 are estimated at about $140 million, with total losses for the four billionaires close to $600 million.
BuinessDay's Matt O'Sullivan has more on Andrew David, the Tiger Australia chief executive who's joining Jetstar. Matt writes:
Jetstar's chief executive, Jayne Hrdlicka, said a key part of Mr David's role would be the ''smooth integration'' of new Boeing 787 Dreamliner planes into the airline's fleet, the first of which are due in the middle of next year.
''He understands low fares and he understands our key markets,'' she said. ''We're putting additional leadership in place now to support this growth into the future.'' Mr David will be based at Jetstar's Melbourne headquarters.
Back to the jobs data and Michael Rafferty of the University of Sydney's Workplace Research Centre who says that the negative mood in the labour market - which comes despite the better employment figures - stemmed from a fear of becoming unemployed.
"I think that what's happening is that people are pessimistic despite the reasonably buoyant labour market and the reason is that people are finding it hard to get by," her said.
"And I think they are worried that if they were to become unemployed, lots of things could unravel for them.
"There's a genuine fear because people are struggling to make ends meet. The labour market aggregate figures are missing that story that people are feeling more precarious."
More on Ten and major shareholder Gina Rinehart, who said after the meeting that she hasn't made a decision on whether to back the capital raising announced today.
Ms Rinehart - who owns 10 per cent of the troubled broadcaster has until until 5pm tomorrow to make up her mind.
Tiger Australia's chief executive, Andrew David, has resigned from his role at the budget airline after just over a year to become the head of Jetstar's long-haul operations, writes BusinessDay's Matt O'Sullivan.
His departure comes just five weeks after Virgin Australia moved to take a controlling stake in Tiger's Australian operations. At the time, Virgin declined to comment on who would lead Tiger in the event that its purchase of a 60 per cent stake in the budget airline is approved by competition regulators.
Mr David, a former senior executive at both Virgin and Air New Zealand, will start at Jetstar next month in the newly created role of chief executive of long-haul operations.
Workers at the collapsed company Gourmet Food Holdings, which produces Rosella tomato sauce, may be able to keep their jobs, writes BusinessDay's Georgia Wilkins.
Ferrier Hodgson, receivers of the company that went into voluntary administration last week, said they had received close to 100 expressions of interest from potential buyers considering purchasing all or part of the business.
"If we continue to receive this valuable support from customers, suppliers and transport operators, the business should be able to continue operating and employees will keep their jobs
"Given the level of interest in the business amongst potential buyers, I have an increasing degree of confidence that the group has a future," partner Jim Sarantinos said.
The stong dollar is driving Asian students to shun Australia in favour of the United States and Britain.
Global banking group HSBC says that while Asian expats appreciated Australia's lifestyle opportunities, the strong currency was a particular turn-off for students.
HSBC's Australian head of retail banking Graham Heunis says the problem has worsened since the local currency hit parity with the US dollar in October 2010.
''We've seen a 12 per cent drop for students since 2010,'' he said.
A quick look now at some of the best-performed stocks on the ASX200:
- Fleetwood Corp: +4.41%
- Linc Energy: +3.4%
- Alacer Gold Corp: +2.11%
- Carsales.com: +1.77%
More on jobs. Annette Beacher, the head of Asia-Pacific Research at TD Securities, is wondering why the labour market is again healthier than expected.
She says the biggest shock in today's data is the retreat in the unemployment rate, from 5.4% to 5.2% (the market predicted 5.5%, TD 5.6%).
"Why were we (and the market) wrong? Job vacancy data plus anecdotes of job shedding by the public sector et al have foreshadowed a weakening labour market for months now, yet the 'hard data' are yet to reflect this reality," she said.
"Is employment growth actually improving to catch up with the job vacancy series?"
Michael Pascoe takes a look at today's jobs numbers and makes the observation that "unemployment keeps refusing to skyrocket the way the doomsday brigade, tabloid headlines and the federal opposition promise."
He also makes these interesting points:
The latest release contains statistical revisions based on better population numbers. The main impact is to smooth out some of the lumpiness in employment and participation rates over the past couple of years. Turns out employment growth hasn't slowed as much as previously thought, because it was already fairly slow. The relative surge in employment in late 2010 has been revised away.
The welter of other statistics released over the past week points to the labour market weakening further as population growth picks up and Australia's mini-fiscal cliff (OK, let's call it "Australia's steep creek bank") takes its toll.
Stephen Koukoulas questions the accuracy of data produced in the ANZ jobs ads series, which showed on Monday that unemployment was expected to worsen, with the amount of jobs advertised online and in newspapers falling for the eighth consecutive month in November.
Unfortunately, it appears that the ANZ job ads series is missing something given how weak it has been vs jobs data
— Stephen Koukoulas (@TheKouk) December 6, 2012
The ASX200 is off its lows for the day. It touched a loss of 0.34 per cent at about midday but has since found reasons to be more cheerful, clawing back about 0.2 per cent to be 0.14 per cent down for the day.
Network Ten related, sort of. Some more lifestyle advice from Gina Rinehart, courtesy of CBD columnist Ben Butler:
Live within your budget and stop taking overseas holidays, urges Her Roy Hill Highness, Gina Rinehart, in her latest column for Australian Resources and Investment magazine.
Rinehart also warns of the dangers of excessive household and government debt.Her plea to earn before spending came as the Ten Network, where she's a director and major shareholder, went to the market to ask its long-suffering shareholders for an extra $230 million, much of which will be used to pay off a $210 million debt that falls due in March.
Here's a chart showing the unemployment rate, both trend and seasonally adjusted, since around this time last year:
Back to Ten for a moment, and here's a fresh Liz Knight analysis. A link to the full text will follow shortly.
A very astute professional fund management quipped this week that investing in a company whose shareholders include a bunch of billionaires is a recipe for disaster because all of them can afford to lose money.
Yesterday the directors - who no longer include Packer who retains his holding but has resigned from the board -had to stand before the other shareholders and explain what went wrong ...
The Ten board was damning with faint praise for its new chief executive, James Warburton, in what was a fairly frank assessment of the network's performance over the past year.
Execution was a problem, ratings are abysmal, the advertising market is soft for all the networks but worse for Ten and promised cost cutting program has been limp.
But it left lingering questions about where the finger should be pointing the blame for the dismal and worsening ratings and revenue performance - particularly since August.
The doomsters got it wrong on jobs. So says CBA's Savanth Sebastian:
More jobs created, more hours worked and fewer people unemployed. Overall the Australian economy is holding up well despite a very uncertain global environment. While there are a number of high profile company failures and job losses, beneath the surface small and medium-sized business are still keen to put on more staff. The anecdotal evidence is that it is hard to attract and retain staff and today's jobs figures back up these observations.
Matthew Johnon, interest rate strategist at UBS, said the jobs numbers were ''surprising''. He said:
Headlines are much better than expected. The details in the data are probably not as big a change as headlines suggest but it makes it more difficult to see the RBA moving rates in February. The RBA will need to see higher unemployment rate and very low inflation to cut again in February. This labour market report puts the higher unemployment rate a little further away.
I still think global markets are pretty soft and inflation low and see a rate cut in February though it is a little less likely than yesterday.

Some context on the jobs data:
Unemployment rate (per cent)
- October 5.4
- September 5.3
- August 5.3
- July 5.2
New jobs added
- October +10,700
- September +14,500
- August -8800
Reader 'willow, syd' asks:
interesting job numbers ... is that the end of the rate cut cycle?
Anyone care to offer their thoughts on that one?
RBC strategist Michael Turner on the jobs result:
"Unemployment at 5.2 per cent is a big shift from the rise that we've been seeing over the past few months. But we see the data as still broadly pretty soft across the economy so we still see a case for lower rates."
This brings to mind that Paul Keating quote about a beautiful set of numbers, albeit in a different context:
GDP with a 3 in front of it, unemployment 5.2%, cash rate 3%, iron ore ~US$120/t, copper US$3.66/lb, coal improving. Cheers to 2012 #ausbiz

The dollar certainly welcomed the jobs news - it shot from $US1.0442 prior to the annoucement to $US1.0479, close to a two-month peak of $1.0491 hit last week. Currency traders obviously think this lessens the likelihood of another rate cut.
Jobs. Full-time employment fell by 4200 to 8.132 million in November and part-time employment was up 18,100 to 3.414 million, taking the net gain for the month to 13,900 jobs, the Australian Bureau of Statistics says.
Jobs. Expectations were for unemployment to rise to 5.5 per cent in November from 5.4 per cent in October. This result is a surprise. The participation rate was steady at 65.1 per cent.
BREAKING Unemployment down to 5.2 per cent in November, bucking expectations. Dollar jumps.
Ten board member Gina Rinehart was meant to have been at the AGM - there was a nameplate put out for her on the podium - but she has yet to show up.
She's caught up in traffic.
And talking of Ten and its billionaire investors, here's a tweet from Stephen Mayne:
Interesting that Ten says 33% of shareholders are backing capital raising. Billionaires own 42% so who isn't putting up? Gina? LM? Packer?
— Stephen Mayne (@MayneReport) December 5, 2012
A little more than an hour into the day and the market, after opening up a bit, has fallen back.
In recent trade, the All Ordinaries index is 6.2 points lower, or 0.1 per cent, to 4521.8, while the benchmark S&P/ASX200 is 5.9 points higher, or 0.1 per cent, to 4514.5.
RBS Morgans Brisbane private client adviser Bruce Smith said that at first the market had followed the lead of Wall Street which closed higher.
''We opened slightly higher on the back of a good night on Wall Street,'' Mr Smith said.
''It's also been driven by the miners who have opened strongly.''
American giant Chevron has revealed a $9 billion cost blow-out on its massive Gorgon gas project in Western Australia, BusinessDay's Peter Ker writes, ending years of silence in regard to constant speculation about cost and schedule over-runs.
The size of the blowout, which many feared would be even larger, means the project now has a total cost of $52 billion, making it almost certainly the most expensive resources project ever attempted in Australia.
Continuing the themes that have dogged Australia's resources sector in recent times, Chevron named the cost of Australian labour, and local productivity rates as some of the main factors in the blow-out.
Chevron vice-chairman George Kirkland said the project remained financially attractive despite the blowout.
''While investment requirements have grown, oil prices, which directly impact the overall revenue stream, have increased by approximately 80 per cent over the same time period,'' he said.
More still on Ten and the capital raising:
RBS Morgans Brisbane private client adviser Bruce Smith said that while the big billionaires might be happy to dig deep once again, other investors would not welcome another share issue.
''I think the market will react quite negatively to that given that they raised money not that long ago, and the general fundamentals of Network Ten appear to be not all that solid with their viewer content diminishing at a rapid rate,'' he said.
''I would think that the market will take a dim view of it and they will have difficulty getting much support from your average retail punter.''
CBD's Ben Butler has written on Gina Rinehart and Network 10:
Live within your budget and stop taking overseas holidays, urges Her Roy Hill Highness, Gina Rinehart, in her latest column for Australian Resources and Investment magazine.
Rinehart also warns of the dangers of excessive household and government debt.
Her plea to earn before spending came as the Ten Network, where she's a director and major shareholder, went to the market to ask its long-suffering shareholders for an extra $230 million, much of which will be used to pay off a $210 million debt that falls due in March.
Rinehart is concerned that advertising is down, ''and professional jobs are being terminated Australia-wide''.
Perhaps a reference to the 100-odd jobs, including those of newsreader Helen Kapalos, lost from Ten?
Lachlan Murdoch is at the Ten AGM in Sydney this morning. It wasn't clear if he would attend following the death yesterday of Dame Elisabeth Murdoch, his grandmother.
All in all, a big week for the Murdoch clan. Restructure and the abandonment of The Daily announced on Monday. Matriarch dies on Wednesday. Lachlan faces Network Ten shareholders on Thursday. Fair to say he's probably looking forward to the weekend.
Something for BHP watchers. In a note this morning the big miner said:
The miner today announced plans to transfer responsibility for its Olympic Dam operation to the Base Metals Customer Sector Group.
The announcement follows decisions in August this year to investigate an alternative, less capital-intensive design of the Olympic Dam open-pit expansion and to sell the Yeelirrie uranium asset in Western Australia to Cameco Corporation.
The incorporation into Base Metals will consolidate the management of the next phase of studies for the open pit expansion, align with the Company's cost control strategy in the current economic environment and position Olympic Dam to support BHP Billiton's long term copper strategy.
Boral is to cut 90 jobs with the decision to switch to importing cement clinker at its Waurn Ponds plant near Geelong, west of Melbourne.
The building products group said the switch follows a review of operations, aimed at cutting unprofitable operations.
The strong Australian dollar and low shipping costs, along with high energy costs, had made it cheaper to switch to imports, rather than produce cement clinker locally, it said.
It also cited the downturn in building sector activity for the decision.Clinker production at Waurn Ponds will be suspended from April, 2013, it said, with the prospect of a write-off against the $100 million book value of the asset.
And if you're wondering what cement clinker is, here's the Wikipedia definition:
In the manufacture of Portland cement, clinker is lumps or nodules, usually 3–25 mm in diameter, produced by sintering limestone and alumino-silicate (clay) during the cement kiln stage. Clinker is ground (usually with the addition of a little gypsum, that is, calcium sulfate dihydrate) to become Portland cement.
The ASX200 just took a dive south, losing almost 15 points in a big hurry. That's pushed the benchmark index into negative territory for the first time today - now down 0.2 per cent.
We've got official jobs data for November in an hour and expectations among many analysts are weighted to the downside:
AU labour force stats out in a hour. With ANZ job ads off 8 months in a row, risks on this occasion clearly slanted to the downside #ausbiz

The miners are catching people's attention this morning:
Rio Tinto with a 6 infront of it this morning, BHP eyeing $35. While consensus talks down iron ore and mining boom, traders moving opposite.
— Peter Esho (@PeterEsho) December 5, 2012
Here's how the other sub indices on the ASX200 are performing early on:
- Industrials: +0.16%
- Financials: +0.06%
- Energy: +0.06%
- Health: -0.51%
- Consumer disc.: -0.4%
- Info tech: -0.36%
- Utilities: -0.23%
Materials stocks are leading the market higher - up 0.45 per cent - with the big miners among the best performed stocks on the ASX200 in opening trade:
- BHP is 1.17% higher to $34.69
- Rio is 1.58% higher to $60.29
- Fortescue is 0.27% higher to $3.76
Local stocks are higher, but only just.
In early trade, the All Ordinaries index is 5.6 points higher, or 0.1 per cent, to 4533.6, while the benchmark S&P/ASX200 is 6.5 points higher, or 0.1 per cent, to 4526.9.
Turning our minds to markets, Ten remains in a trading halt and could stay there until Monday.
And here's some happy news for CBA shareholders. Its equities are up 24 per cent since the beginning of the year, pushing the stock to record highs - the bank's market capitalisation is now less than 2 per cent away from $100 billion.
That's an impressive rebound. CBA shares hit $61.33 on Tuesday after trading at $47.50 in early March.
Overnight, Citigroup's new CEO announced the bank would shed 11,000 jobs.
Michael Corbat, who took the lead of the mega-bank on October 16, said it would slice more than 11,000 jobs, mostly in its global consumer banking division, and take a $US1 billion charge in the 2012 fourth quarter and another $US100 million in the first half of next year.
What does that mean for the Australian outpost? BusinessDay's Glenda Kwek checked with a Citi spokesman who said local operations and staffing would undergo minor changes, but he refused to put a number on job losses.
"We will continue to offer the full range of products and services and our commitment to the market in all products and areas remains the same," Citi spokesman Steven Blaney said.
Mr Blaney would not detail local job losses but said that Citi "constantly review [its] business model to ensure it meets with market conditions".
"If that requires some minor changes in particularly areas, that will be done. But the business has been consistently reviewing its operations to make sure that it is running a very efficient operation in this market."
Are you a Citigroup employee in Australia who just lost your job? If so, drop us a line.
Ten is in the news again this morning, and not just because of today's AGM. The ailing broadcaster has implemented more cost cutting and launched a $230 million offer of new shares in response to its recent poor performance.
Chairman Lachlan Murdoch, whose grandmother died late yesterday, said the new initiatives were being taken to "secure and build the business".
"Poor execution of our spring programming schedule, compounded by a weak advertising market, has negatively impacted our results," he said. Previous cost cutting in Ten's newsroom has resulted in 100 job losses.
Here's a snapshot of the company's woes and how they affect its billionaire owners, and here's the news from this morning. Fair to say its going to be a difficult AGM for management.
The major piece of economics data for today is the November jobs numbers from the ABS. The data is expected to show unemployment rose to 5.5 per cent during the month, up from 5.4 per cent in October. A Bloomberg survey expects the economy added no new jobs over the month, but some forecasters are predicting the economy shed jobs last month.
We'll have full coverage here as soon as the arrives.
For a comprehensive look at this morning's business news, check today's need2know. Here are this morning's key markets numbers:
- The SPI was 6 points higher at 4531
- The $A was trading at $US1.0466
- In late trade, the S&P500 added 0.16% to 1409.28
- In Europe, the FTSE100 added 0.39% to 5892.08
- China iron ore added 80 US cents to $US117.90 a metric tonne
- Gold lost 0.1% to $US1693.80 an ounce
- WTI crude oil added 30 US cents at $US88.20 a barrel
