Australian shares end slightly higher, led up by the banks, but investors remain cautious amid worries about the US fiscal cliff.
5.20pm: That's all for today. Thanks everyone for reading this blog, we'll be back tomorrow at 9.30am.
Here's our evening wrap of today's session.
5.02pm: Skate and surfwear company Globe International has been forced into a board spill after shareholders rejected its executive pay structure for a second straight year.
Almost 86 per cent of votes cast at Globe's annual general meeting on Wednesday were against the company's remuneration report for the 2011-12 financial year.
That follows a 74 per cent vote against Globe's pay policy at last year's annual general meeting.
Under new corporate laws, shareholders of a company receiving two consecutive votes of 25 per cent or more against its remuneration can force the company's board to face re-election. Globe shareholders have voted for a spill meeting, which must be held within 90 days.
4.34pm: Coles food and liquor business is showing growth into the second quarter and price deflation is easing, Wesfarmers says.
"We have been happy with the start to the financial year which Coles has made, with underlying volume growth in the food and liquor businesses continuing to be strong," chief executive Richard Goyder told shareholders at the AGM.
Goyder noted Wesfarmers food and liquor's like-for-like sales growth of 3.7 per cent in the first quarter, while Coles Express fuel volume grew 0.4 per cent.
4.24pm: Among the main sectors, financials gained 0.6 per cent, while energy dropped 0.6 per cent and materials shed 0.3 per cent.
4.16pm: The sharemarket has ended slightly higher, led up by the big banks. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index rose 8.6 points, or 0.2 per cent, to 4388.4, while the broader All Ords gained 6.5 points, or 0.1 per cent, to 4410.7.
4.01pm: Australia has to wake up to the fact that it can't do everything at once, Sydney Airport's outspoken chairman, Max Moore-Wilton, says, arguing that politics was stopping Sydney Airport from handling more planes and better utilising its runways.
''It is almost immaterial what you and I do,'' he told Qantas chairman Leigh Clifford at a lunch today. ''It is what a few goats in Sydney and Canberra do that is going to make whether you make money or whether we make money – which I find incredibly depressing.
''The last thing on infrastructure that we need to do when you come to work in the morning and see the gridlock and the fact that there isn't a decent traffic network in Sydney, is to spend $10 billion on building a second Sydney airport.''
3.45pm: Perhaps exhausted after all the selling done on Tuesday, the Australian sharemarket had a more civilised performance today however caution was again the prevailing theme in the lead up to the US fiscal cliff deadline, says CMC Markets trader Tim Waterer:
- Banking stocks were able to bounce back best after the heavy selling yesterday, with the financial sector helping to prop up the broader index amid softer showings elsewhere, with the energy sector again struggling.
- But overall, investors still appear unwilling to venture into risk assets. The spectre of the fiscal cliff is serving to downplay financial market performance until such time as this colossal hurdle is overcome by Washington.
- In the meantime, downward shifts in the market will likely by sharper than any shifts to the upside whilst ever the chance of a double dip recession remains even a faint cha
3.22pm: Top marketing executives from Telstra and Optus have been ordered to attend mediation over an advertising dispute about their respective 4G networks in Brisbane.
Optus launched legal action on Monday claiming Telstra engaged in misleading or deceptive conduct by "making a representation that Telstra is the only network offering 4G in Brisbane, and a representation that Optus does not have 4G in Brisbane," according to documents lodged with the Federal Court in New South Wales.
3.14pm: Qantas will be vindicated within three years for its massive jobs cuts, withdrawal from loss-making routes and deferred aircraft orders, the flying kangaroo's new partner Emirates says.
Emirates chief executive Tim Clark told reporters he supported the shake-up by Qantas chief executive Alan Joyce, adding that if he was in the same position he would have done the same things.
Mr Clark backed Mr Joyce's approach, saying the struggling Australian carrier would emerge from this period of restructuring with the ''basis for something solid''.
3.03pm: Webjet has lost a lot of the ground is had picked up over the last six months after warning of "very low growth levels" in the leisure travel market.
2.45pm: As we approach the final hour of trade, here's a look at how markets around the region are performing:
- Nikkei(Japan): +0.1%
- Shanghai: -0.2%
- Taiwan: +0.2%
- South Korea: -0.1%
- Singapore: -0.6%
- New Zealand: -0.2%
2.25pm: DuluxGroup has posted a lower annual profit but is forecasting an improvement in its underlying performance in the year ahead.
The company's net profit in the year to September 30 of $89.5 million was down four per cent from $93.2 million in the previous year.
The result includes several one-off items relating to tax benefits and the costs of its acquisition of building products and garage door maker Alesco.
The previous year's sales were also negatively impacted by the impact of flooding on DuluxGroup's factory in the Brisbane suburb of Rocklea.
Chief executive Patrick Houlihan had this to say:
DuluxGroup has been thoroughly tested this year by weak market conditions, changing competitor and retail customer landscapes, significant input cost pressure and increased operating costs as a consequence of the Rocklea flood.
Dulux shares have fallen 0.3 per cent today - a cent - to $3.29.
2.19pm: Shares in CSR have soared today, despite the building products maker reporting that its first-half profit has fallen 50 per cent.
CSR blamed a weak housing market - which it says is set to remain challenging - for profit in the six months to September 30 of $17.5 million was down from $34.9 million in the previous corresponding period.
The company confirmed analysts' expectations of a full-year profit in the range of $35 million and $45 million.
Shares in CSR are up 6.1 per cent at $1.65.
2.10pm: A recent rally in steel prices in China, the world's top steel market, is facing headwinds despite falling inventories, as overcapacity will continue to bite into margins, the China Iron & Steel Association says.
Total inventories of five main steel products including hot-rolled coil and rebar in 26 major markets fell 2.8 per cent from the end of October to 12.08 million tonnes last week, the association said today.
Financing costs for the country's large steelmakers jumped 29 per cent to 61.2 billion yuan for January-September from a year earlier.
2.00pm: Treasurer Wayne Swan has joined in the chorus of good cheer about today's uplifting economic data.
He's especially excited by the Westpac-Melbourne Institute index of consumer sentiment index which jumped 5.2 per cent to its highest level since April 2011. The Treasurer had this to say:
Obviously not every Australian feels like they're on easy street, but it's really good to see that families are feeling the benefit of the lower interest rates they're seeing under the Gillard government. 'Families right around Australia are benefiting from the government's responsible strategy to return the budget to surplus, which has given the RBA room to cut rates repeatedly over the last year.
1.45pm: The Victorian government's strategy of relying on hundreds of millions of dollars in dividends to prop up its surplus is a risky business, the auditor-general says.
The state posted a $571 million surplus for 2011-12 but this was underpinned by $490 million in revenue from dividends from agencies outside the general government sector and one-off transactions.
Auditor-General Des Pearson said relying on dividends to prop up general government sector revenue may mean that waste and poor decision-making were not addressed.
''Relying on agencies outside the GGS (general government sector) to pay dividends to support GGS revenue is a risky strategy,'' Mr Pearson said in a report tabled to parliament today.
''It is dependent on the capacity on the non-GGS agencies to either generate surpluses or raise borrowings to pay the dividend, and could potentially risk the financial sustainability of those agencies.''
An extra $204 million in dividends from water retailers and Melbourne Water was poured into government coffers in 2011-12.
1.36pm: The thing which really irks Bruce Robertson is not just that the giant power companies are threatening to sue him but that their lawyers are demanding he pay for their costs, writes BusinessDay's Michael West.
"It was a service I never requested," quips Robertson, who has had to resort to black humour since the letter from Grid Australia arrived out of the blue last week.
In the quintessential act of corporate bullying, the nation's electricity transmission giants are threatening to sue the corporate-analyst-turned-cattle-farmer from the mid-north coast of NSW.
Robertson has been a constant thorn in their side this year, revealing how the industry's 'gold-plating', dodgy forecasts and misleading rhetoric have been the main factors behind the nose-bleed rise in power bills.
And so Grid Australia, the peak body for the transmission giants, is trying to muzzle him with legal threats.This story is not just about power companies gagging an outspoken critic. It is about governments too. Grid Australia's members are mostly state-owned power companies. They speak for $10 billion in network assets and they don't like Robertson accusing them of gold-plating one little bit.
1.25pm: Today's wage price index showed a slower than expected growth rate in the third quarter, but wages for the year continue to rise at reasonable levels, although this is heavily varied across industries, said CBA economist John Peters.
- Wage outcomes across industries varied widely. This is consistent with the varied business conditions currently being experienced across different sectors. Over the year to September, the largest wage rises were in wholesale trade (+5.3%) mining (+5.2%), electricity, gas, water and other utilities (+4.4%) and professional services (+4.2%). The lowest wage increases over the year were in retail trade (+2.3%), accommodation and food services (+2.9%) and media and telecommunications (+2.9%), all well below the national outcome of 3.7%. The State outcomes also tell the same story, with the mining boom state of WA reporting the strongest increase in wages over the year at 4.5%.
- The wages and inflation debate has gained some prominence recently because of Australia's relatively poor productivity performance. Added to that there are a number of goods (and services) industries exposed to tougher selling conditions because of the high Australian dollar (AUD). But there are also other sectors, like resources, utilities, health and education, where domestic pressures are likely to maintain overall wages growth in the 3% to 4%pa range. We expect the national unemployment rate to edge higher, to 5.½ % or a little above, as industry restructuring continues. It is likely to dampen wages pressures in the adjusting sectors. But it may be offset by the higher wages growth in those sectors immune to restructuring or with a larger capacity to pay (i.e. mining etc.).
1.18pm: Shares in Japan's embattled electronics maker Sharp have rocketed on reports the company may get a cash injection of hundreds of millions of dollars from chip giant Intel.
Sharp was up 7.23 per cent at 163 yen in early trade on the Tokyo Stock Exchange tday after surging 10.5 per cent briefly.
The Asahi daily said Sharp and Intel were close to agreeing a Y30-40 billion ($485.76 million) injection.
The Yomiuri said Intel, which has joined hands with Sharp to develop digital products equipped with its microprocessors, may purchase 30 billion yen of Sharp bonds that could be converted into shares.
1.09pm: Kitchen appliance maker Breville expects its earnings to rise by 10 per cent to about $50 million in the first half of the 2012-13 financial year.
Sales in the four months to the end of October have been strong, despite uncertain and increasingly competitive retail conditions around the world, chairman John Schmoll told Breville's annual general meeting on Wednesday.
Breville expects its earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) for the six months to December 31 to be 10 per cent higher than in the same period in the previous year, Mr Schmoll said.
The company's EBITDA was $45.2 million in the previous corresponding period, and its net profit was $29.4 million.
Breville shares were down 0.9 per cent to $5.79.
12.59pm: After an hour spent deciding which way to turn, the Australian market has got a boost out of the various postive economic data and is higher, led by gains in the mining giants.
Just before lunch, the benchmark S&P/ASX200 index was up 8.7 points, or 0.2 per cent, at 4388.5, while the broader All Ordinaries index was up 5.7 points, or 1 per cent, at 44409.9.
Wealth Within analyst Dale Gillham said Wall Street had not fallen as much as expected which had caused the Australian market to pick up a bit.
''The Dow was not down much at all, it is almost just a grain of sand,'' he said.
''That has caused our market to get in and do what it needs to do.''
12.54pm: More on Fortescue which has played down reports which claimed it was considering selling stakes in its port and rail assets to rivals such as Gina Rinehart's Roy Hill iron ore project and Atlas Iron.
''There's potential interest in selling a portion of [the assets] if we can do it in a way that left us with total control,'' development manager Peter MeursMeurs said. ''Is it likely? I think it's highly unlikely.''
He said the rail assets were ''incredibly valuable'', and as long as it has full control over operations on the rail line, it remained open to providing rail access to competitors who have their own port capacity.
''It just makes absolute sense for us to provide the transport service for them,'' he said.
12.48pm: Directors are more pessimistic about business conditions than they were two years ago, and believe regulation and personal liability is excessive, writes BusinessDay's Lucy Battersby.
The directors' outlook for the Australian economy - a survey of 540 directors by the Australian Institute of Company Directors - is dire, with 56 expecting growth over the next year to be weak or very weak.
Overall, the director sentiment index now sits at just 56.3 points, compared with 93.6 points at the start of 2011. A score of 100 is "neutral", while 200 would be "optimistic".
12.44pm: Strong government finances combined with solid banking institutions and a stable political framework mean Australia is highly likely to keep its AAA ratings in the foreseeable future, ratings agency Moody's said.
Australia enjoys one of the world's lowest ratios of gross debt to domestic product at 22.1 per cent in 2011. In contrast, the US, Britain, Germany and France all have debt levels exceeding 80 per cent.
"We are very comfortable with Australia's government finances and economics," said Steven Hess, a senior credit analyst for Moody's.

12.39pm: The Australian dollar is higher on improved consumer sentiment and better wage price data.
Just before lunch the dollar was trading at $US1.0440 up from 104.07 cents on Tuesday.
Since 0700 AEDT, it has traded between $US1.0425 and $US1.0456.
Westpac chief currency strategist Robert Rennie said better consumer sentiment figures and wage price data which suggested there was room for a rate cut next month, had helped drive the dollar on.
We got a really strong [consumer sentiment] reading. It suggests that, finally, we're starting to get some traction on confidence from rate cuts over the last year. Within the data, households seem like they're becoming more comfortable with the global outlook. [We also got] a clear indication of moderation in wage cost pressure. We still expect a rate cut in December, and another one in the first quarter of next year.
12.25pm: Age property editor Simon Johanson has been looking at Apple's so-far fruitless search for floor space in Melbourne's CBD.
It has shops in three Melbourne shopping centres, but nothing to compare with its two flagship Sydney locations, in George Street and at Bondi Junction.
So far the company has rejected potential shop suitors at 233 and 271 Collins Street, as well as the Australia on Collins building.
A mooted leasing deal with new Emporium redevelopment, which has already attracted a string of high-profile luxury brands, also appears unlikely because it won't provide a street front store.
''We've got the feeling Melbourne is too hard for them and they're focusing on Asian expansion. We may not get a flagship store for some time,'' an industry source said.

12.20pm: Shares in Leighton are down 1.9% today after the construction company said it had written off its $63 million investment in troubled Brisbane toll road operator BrisConnections.
Leighton shares are at $16.40 after losing 31 cents. BrisConnections' unit trusts - which are suspended from trading - last traded at 40 cents.
11.59am: Fortescue says it will decide next month on whether to go ahead with developing its Kings mine to take production capacity to 155 million tonnes a year.
"We'll make that final decision when we look at the market in December and say 'do we have the confidence to move forward?'," Fortescue development manager Peter Meurs told a resources conference in Perth.
In September, Fortescue slammed the brakes on plans to lift its annual capacity to 155 million tonnes by digging the Kings mine as a slide in world iron ore prices to under $87 a tonne coincided with a mounting debt pile.
Shares in Fortescue, which is due to hold its AGM later today, are up 4 cents at $4.01.
11.50am: Surveys, surveys and more surveys. Here's another one from home loan provider Mortgage Choice. Their annual survey of first-time homebuyers found that about one in five - 18 per cent - of people looking to buy a home in the next two years put retaining employment as their biggest concern, compared with 11 per cent a year earlier.
Such worries come as the jobless rate stands at its highest level in 2½ years at 5.4 per cent. Mortgage Choice's Belinda Williamson summmed up the findings:
While many of the economic indicators such as rate cuts, lower house prices and improved affordability might suggest now is a good time to buy, people are still nervous about their ability to sustain employment.
11.43am: Total hourly rates of pay, excluding bonuses, rose by a seasonally adjusted 0.7 per cent in the September quarter, official figures show.
The wage price index rose 3.7 per cent from a year earlier, the Australian Bureau of Statistics said.
The median market forecast was for a rise of 0.8 per cent in the September quarter. The index measures movement in underlying wages by calculating the change in wage and salary cost across a range of occupations.
11.25am: Here's something ineteresting to squirrel away somewhere, maybe for lunchtime - a video biography of Mark Zuckerberg tracking his ascension from a Harvard dorm to the floor of the Nasdaq.
It's the real story told by the real people rather than the movie version of The Social Network and features Zuckerberg himself outlining his vision for the future of social media.
11.16am: The market in general may be unsure of which way to travel but the heavyweights - the big banks and miners - are all up so far today.
Among the big banks
- CBA is 0.02% higher to $58.71
- ANZ is 0.29% higher to $24.12
- NAB is 1.08% higher to $23.36
- Westpac is 0.04% higher to $24.81
Among the big miners
- BHP is 0.24% higher to $33.83
- Rio is 0.66% higher to $58.05
- Fortescue is 1.01% higher to $4.01
11.08am: Starting a small business can be an exciting, anxiety-provoking, hectic, costly and rewarding exercise. With so much to get your head around, it's little wonder some important tasks get overlooked.
So here's a guide to some of the most common start-up mistakes - and how to avoid them.
11.04am: Take one look at the graph above and you can see that the market has been up and down like a yo-yo this morning, in the absence of any clear offshore leads.
In recent trade the the All Ordinaries index is 5.4 points lower, or 0.1 per cent, to 4398.8, while the benchmark S&P/ASX200 is 3.5 points lower, or 0.1 per cent, to 4376.3.
Commsec market analyst Steven Daghlian said local rather than offshore factors might change the direction of the Australian market on Wednesday.
The ABS wage price index for the September quarter is due out soon and the Westpac/Melbourne Institute survey of consumer sentiment is out already, and has gone up 5 per cent.
''If wages come in significantly higher than what was expected, that could suggest inflationary pressures and affect the likelihood of an interest rate cut,'' Mr Daghlian said.
''We have had about a four per cent rise in wages in the last 12 months.''
10.57am: Shares in broadcaster Seven West Media, which rose 11 per cent yesterday on the back of cutting announcements at its AGM, are up again today.
Seven shares have risen 5 cents - 3.9 per cent - to $1.34.
Seven squeeked past a first strike yeterday, after 23.96 per cent of voting shareholders rejected the remuneration report
10.47am: Households are feeling better off and more confident about the economic outlook following recent cuts in interest rates.
The poll of 1200 people by the Melbourne Institute and Westpac Bank showed its index of consumer sentiment rose 5.2 per cent in November to 104.3, the highest since April last year.
The result followed increases of 1.0 per cent and 1.6 per cent in the previous two months. Westpac chief economist Bill Evans said:
After a long 16 month period when the Index held below 100 for 14 of those months, we are finally starting to see that the Reserve Bank's 150-basis points of interest rate cuts is having an impact.
10.42am: Webjet shares have dropped 9 per cent this morning, after it said net profit may fall in the current financial year.
Shares have fallen 37 cents to $3.76.
Webjet said the leisure travel market has shown very low growth levels in the past four months so it had increased its spending on marketing by about $1 million, which has been reflected in its market share.
Webjet also continues to expand in the Middle East, and the cost of that expansion will be no more than $1.5 million in the year to June 30, 2013, it said.
Webjet expects its earnings and net profit in the 2012/13 financial year, before the impact of expansion costs, to increase by at least 10 per cent.
10.38am: And now for some of the early risers on the ASX this morning:
- Linc Energy: + 2.17%
- Paladin Energy: +1.69%
- Beach Energy: +1.47%
- WorleyParsons: +0.81%
10.34am: David Scutt at Arab Bank sums up the open pretty well. He tweets:
Sad and sorry start for the #XJO this morning. Barely in positive territory as offshore concerns and the high #AUD continue to weigh #ausbiz
10.32am: Here are some of the early sliders on the ASX200 today:
- Karoon Gas: -2.17%
- Caltex:-1.54%
- Santos: -1.34%
- Oil Search: -1.00%^
- Woodside: -0.56%
10.27am: Fairfax Media - the publisher of this website - has sold its United States rural media business for $US79.9 million ($A76.96 million).
Fairfax's Rural Press (USA) includes the Farm Progress and Miller Publishing Company businesses, which were separate to the company's Australian and New Zealand businesses.
Fairfax acquired the US business in 1997.
It has been sold to Penton Media, which is owned by private equity firms.
10.19am: Here's how the various sub indices on the ASX200 are performing in early trade:
- Utilities: +0.44%
- Financials: +0.28%
- Telecoms: +0.23%
- Energy: -0.48%
- Info tech: -0.14%
- Consumer staples: -0.1%
10.15am: The Australian share market has opened around a quarter of a per cent higher. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index is up 11.5 points, or 0.26 per cent, at 4391.3, while the broader All Ordinaries index was up 10.3 points, or 0.23 per cent, at 4414.5.
On the ASX 24, the December share price index futures contract was up 10 points at 4399, with 8908 contracts traded.
10.11am: Further to the SingTel result, Optus's first-half profit has fallen 7.2 per cent and the company says revenue growth has slowed because of price competition.
Optus made a net profit of $319 million in the six months to September 30, down from $344 million in the previous corresponding period. Operating revenue in the six months of $4.48 billion was down 3.7 per cent from $4.65 billion in the same period the previous year.
Lower equipment sales, a reduction in the mobile termination rate and the introduction of service credits with handset repayment plans contributed to the fall in revenue, SingTel said. Optus's customer numbers rose to 9.54 million, as of September 30, but average revenue per user (ARPU) fell because of discounts on bundled plans.
10.07am: Shares are up but not dramatically - about 0.2 per cent as markets open.
10.04am: SingTel, southeast Asia's biggest phone company, has posted second-quarter profit that missed analyst estimates after currency appreciation hurt earnings. Net income fell 1.6 per cent to S$868 million ($US710) million in the three months through September from S$882 million a year earlier, the company said today.
That compares with the S$953 million average of three analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Sales fell 0.8 percent to S$4.57 billion.
9.58am: Some analyst rating changes for this morning:
- Incitec Pivot rated new 'outperform' at CIMB
- QBE Insurance cut to 'neutral' at Macquarie
- Mirabela Nickel raised to 'buy' at Argonaut Securities
9.56am: Negative sentiment in global markets regarding European debt and the US fiscal cliff has prompted another rise in Australian bond futures prices.
At 8.30am, the December 10-year bond futures contract was trading at 97.040 (implying a yield of 2.960 per cent), up from 97.025 (2.975 per cent) at Tuesday's close. The December three-year bond futures contract was at 97.500 (2.500 per cent), up from 97.490 (2.510 per cent).
Commonwealth Bank interest rate strategist Phillip Brown said a generally negative sentiment in the market was pushing bond prices higher.
''Movement in the past week has been biased towards rally. Investors are suspicious of what's happening in the US and Europe. We had data from China that was good for them, but not good for Australia - their imports were down. So, there's not much good news coming from anywhere,'' he said.
9.51am: In corporate news this morning, building products maker CSR's first-half profit has fallen 50 per cent because of a weak housing market, which it says is set to remain challenging.
CSR's net profit in the six months to September 30 of $17.5 million was down from $34.9 million in the previous corresponding period. The result includes $2.9 million in costs from the restructure of its building products business and its aluminium joint venture.
''The key external drivers that impact CSR's profitability were all materially worse this period, driven primarily by weakening global economic conditions and the flow-on effect to aluminium prices as well as local construction activity,'' managing director Rob Sindel said in a statement today.
9.46am: On markets today, Ben Le Brun of Markets Express expects to see some of yesterday's losses pared back in today's session. He says there'll be" bargain hunters snapping up some stocks that were heavily sold for no good reason yesterday." In a note early today, he wrote:
In the short term, the name of the game is closing above the psychological 4400 mark.
Commodities prices were mixed overnight although copper and iron ore were positive so that maybe supportive to the materials sector. The Westpac Melbourne Institute consumer sentiment may give the market some direction in mid morning trade.
9.42am: It should be a solid day for local news. In economics news we're expecting:
- ABS wage price index for September quarter
- Westpac/Melbourne Institute Survey of Consumer Sentiment
While in company news we've got some high-profile AGMs and results:
- The following companies hold annual general meetings: Wesfarmers, Fortescue Metals Group, Computershare, Webjet. Click here for a full list of AGMs.
- DuluxGroup full year results
- CSR first half results
9.40am: Stocks could be in for a better day today after yesterday's almost 1.5 per cent loss as investors snap up a few bargains. For a comprehensive look at this morning's business news, check today's need2know. Here are this morning's key market links:
- SPI futures are 12 points higher at 4401
- The $A is higher at $US1.043

Old rumors become new at Hall of Fame Library
By Trevor Hayes
Rumors are nothing new to baseball.
But no matter how unsubstantiated they may be or at least may seem to be, they had to come from somewhere. Earlier this week we saw yet another example: Albert Pujols, arguably the biggest name in the game, considered in a trade for Ryan Howard, the slugging St. Louis native.
Both stars balked. They say haven't heard anything and the clubs aren't saying anything. When the report surfaced, it also spawned references to Joe DiMaggio for Ted Williams, another famous non-deal.
In 1946, the Yankees and the Red Sox both denied the idea – in the media at least. Combing through the Library at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, you can find a number of items about what could have been – a blockbuster that would "set the American League on its ear!" as Richard Ben Cramer put it in the DiMaggio biography "The Hero's Life."
The Sporting News headlines just before and during the 1946 World Series show both teams denying interest. But after trading Joe Gordon – another future Hall of Famer – to Cleveland, accounts hint the Bombers needed an overhaul with the Yankee Clipper on the trading block.
The dynamics of DiMaggio for Williams were much simpler than Howard for Pujols. Both pull hitters could have easily taken advantage of their new parks: Williams hitting into the short porch in right wearing pinstripes, and DiMaggio banging hits and lofting flies over the Green Monster in crimson stockings.
Gossip started swirling before the Series started, but denial on both sides all-but-signaled the death of the story. In the Oct. 16, 1946, Sporting News, Red Sox management said Williams wasn't for sale while the Yankees expressed a lack of interest.
That set the stage for one of the most inconspicuous conversations in baseball history at Toots Shor's in New York City. Sometime in December 1946, the future Hall of Fame executives of the two rivals sat down for a long night at the tavern. After several hours, Yankee owner Larry MacPhail proposed the swap to Red Sox owner Tom Yawkey. MacPhail said DiMaggio could play next to his brother, Dom, and let fly over the Monster – just 315 feet away. Yawkey suggested Williams could crush Ruth's record aiming at stands just 296 feet away. Before the night ended, the two shook – DiMaggio for Williams, straight up.
But the next morning, Yawkey called MacPhail to nix the deal. According to the book "The Era" by Roger Kahn, Yawkey said: "I can't do it. They let Babe Ruth out of Boston. If I let Williams go, the fans will crucify me."
Some versions of the story, like the one in "Emperors and Idiots" by Mike Vaccaro, say Yawkey tried to salvage the deal by asking for "the kid catcher from Newark" but MacPhail declared: "You're out of your mind," to throw in Yogi Berra, who would also be enshrined in the Hall of Fame.
It goes to show that you can never be sure about baseball rumors. Howard for Pujols? It could happen. DiMaggio for Williams almost did.
Trevor Hayes is the editorial production manager at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

Janet, I would like to hear everyone's ideas from everything. However, I have already heard a lot of your ideas so unless this is something new I'd prefer to avoid the redundancy. I already know about how you think the RRB should appear and later pair off with the PPG so if it's more of that, no thank you.

Ok this is really going out on a limb but it could be true.
The ETs we call "Greys" are technically not ETs at all, but HUMANS from the distant future. About 40,000-50,000 years from now. They traveled back by using a Tipler Cylinder engine and now reside on Zeta-Reticuli because they know it will be uninhabited in this time.
The abductions/hybridization project is being conducted to save their/our race from eventual extinction. The hybrids are then sent back to the Greys "home time." The ships are either able to get back on their own or uses time dilation to get back. The new hybrids are kept in suspended animation until then. The Greys that stay in this time are working to help us advance but at a rate we can handle. The more Human looking hybrids are tasked with this.
Certain high level government and military officials know of this project.
This puts together bits of information from a few sources. The Hill Abduction, Jim Pennistion's account of the Rendlesham Forrest Incident and some of my own idea.

There is also probably a respectable-sounding guy out there that teaches nuclear weapons are a myth invented for the purpose of control. And, he may go on believing that all the way up until the very moment he is vaporized by a nuclear blast. But even with all his reasonable sounding arguments, he has absolutely no bearing whatsoever on the fact that nuclear weapons do indeed exist--even if they are factually used for the purpose of control. There is no argument about it; the concept of hell is regularly used to put fear into people of weak mind and faith. But that doesn't mean hell doesn't exist. We can debate until the cows come home about where hell is... be it underground, in another dimension, or whatever. But that debate is completely irrelevant as to whether or not hell exists.
The video and the priest reject the teachings of Christ and, if only indirectly, label Him a liar. Therefore if this priest is indeed a bona fide priest, then he is a dark priest.
Jesus mentions hell (be it "Hades" or a "lake of fire" or a "fiery furnace," etc.) over 70 times. If what He spoke of is nothing more than propaganda for the purpose of control, that would make Him a deceiver. Sorry, but I'm not on board with that and never will be. I want nothing to do with this heretical, blasphemous teaching.
Y'all enjoy.
As for me and MY house, we will serve the LORD.

Baby cradles and bassinets from Kmart keep your baby comfortable and safe
When you first bring your newborn home from the hospital, you want to have a small sleeping space in your room just for the baby. A bassinet or small cradle is the option you're looking for. Designed for newborns, these tiny baby beds will allow your little one to sleep soundly through his or her first few weeks of life.
With a new baby in the house, you want to make sure that you keep him or her close, whatever you're doing. You'll find yourself staying up at night just to watch the baby sleep. With bassinets, you can easily move the baby from room to room. Cradles and bassinets are much smaller than cribs and you can either keep a couple of them throughout the house or you can transport them to each room you're in with ease. You can find bassinets that are part of complete baby furniture sets or bassinets that are sold separately for your convenience.
Before the baby is old enough to play on the floor with a play mat, you want to keep your little boy or girl safe when you can't be holding them. You can safely rest him or her in one of the stylish baby cradles and bassinets. To keep baby occupied when he or she is in the cradle, hanging an infant mobile is the perfect way to engage your little one. With bright colors, movement and sound, your baby will love laying in his or her bassinet staring up at the musical toy.
Before you know it, your tiny baby will outgrow his or her cradle, and move on to his or her crib and nursery. With stylish baby decor and beautiful nursery furniture, your little one will sleep soundly in the room you designed just for them. As your little one grows, you can keep the bassinet for future children or for your child to play with when he or she gets older. Little girls love playing with dolls, and a bassinet is the perfect place for a doll to sleep.
When you start shopping for baby, you want to make sure to have all of the necessary furniture pieces that you need for your little one. From bassinets and cradles to strollers and high chairs, you can find everything you need by shopping at Kmart. We've got all of the baby gear that you're looking for and more.

Coupe Cereal Bowls, Set of 4
Perfect little bowls!
I was afraid these might be a bit small, but I've come to love their size! We use these bowls constantly! They have held up well to multiple uses and trips through the dishwasher.
August 26, 2010
Love the simplicity
I'm a bargain hunter, practical, stylish, and a frequent entertainer. We'll have at least two parties a month, either sit down or buffet.
We ordered a set of the salad plates and coupe bowls to see how wear and tear would be for everyday use. I wasn't sure they would be quality pieces since they are so inexpensive. These have not only stood up to constant use, but also look crisp on a dressed up table. The food stands out and the decoration pieces on the table stand out.
The only drawback is that the dishes get very hot before the food does in the microwave.
I've just placed an order so we'll have 12 bowls, salad plates and dinner plates. Can't wait until it all arrives!

The Yankees strive to provide an accessible environment for all their Guests at Yankee Stadium. Wheelchair accessible and designated aisle seats are available at various price points and locations and include Yankees Premium seat locations. The Stadium also offers enhanced accessibility for Guests with hearing loss or low vision and for Guests who are deaf or blind.
For additional information about accessibility at the Stadium or if you have any questions or comments, please contact:
Disabled Services: (718) 579-4510 (voice) or (718) 579-4595 (TTY) or email us at the following address:
While at the Stadium during a game or public event, Guests may request to speak with a member of Disabled Services in person at any Guest Relations Booth or Kiosk or in the Yankee Stadium Lobby, adjacent to Gate 2.
The Access-A-Ride bus stop is located adjacent to Gate 4 on East 161st Street.
Home-game schedules and other print materials are available in Braille or large print upon request through Disabled Services.
Assistive listening devices are available at no charge at the Guest Relations Booths. A valid credit card or acceptable form of picture identification (e.g., valid driver's license or nondriver government-issued photo ID card) is required as a deposit.

All ATMs at Yankee Stadium are marked with Braille. ATMs are at the following locations:
There are two dedicated open-caption video boards for Guests who are deaf or have hearing loss: one in left field, just below Section 233B, and one in right field, just below Section 206. Captioning is also provided on the right-center field video board, on the high-definition video board in the Great Hall, on high-definition televisions throughout Yankee Stadium and on the video board in the New York Yankees Museum presented by Bank of America.
Guests requiring assistance at any food service area should notify the nearest Yankee Stadium Team Member*, including those working at that concessions stand. Concessions stands have pens and paper and some combination of menus in Braille and/or large print and a reader to provide assistance in communicating.
Directional/way-finding signage throughout Yankee Stadium assists Guests in getting around. Most of the directional signage is traditional mounted signage with large white lettering on a navy blue background. There is also large-scale electronic directional signage in the Great Hall.
For information on dropping off or picking up Guests with disabilities, please contact Disabled Services.
Electrical outlets available for recharging wheelchairs, scooters and other medical equipment are located at the Guest Relations Booths and at the following wheelchair accessible seating areas: Sections 021B, 029, 104-106, 109, 111, 114A, 116, 118-121B, 124, 127A, 130, 132-134, 211, 225, 226, 305, 306, 309, 310, 313-315, 317-320A, 320C-323, 325-327, 330, 331, 333 and 334 and in the Bleachers at Sections 203 and 235-237.
There are 16 public elevators at Yankee Stadium, and elevator operators are stationed in each elevator used by the general public:
Should there be an immediate need to evacuate Yankee Stadium, Guests will be given instructions via, to the extent available, the public-address/open-caption systems, video boards and high-definition televisions in the concourses. Guests are encouraged to:
There are two escalator banks at Yankee Stadium: one adjacent to the Yankee Stadium Ticket Office, located near Gate 4, and one adjacent to the Guest Relations and Ticket Sales Booth, located near Gate 6 in the Great Hall. Please be advised that escalators may be turned off and/or reversed during the course of the game or event. Please note that elevators are available as an alternate means of getting around.
Emergency medical personnel and ambulances are at Yankee Stadium during all games and public events. There are three first-aid locations: Field Level at Section 128, Main Level at Section 221 and Terrace/Grandstand Level at Section 320C. Automated external defibrillators are located at various points throughout the Stadium, and designated medical personnel have been trained and certified to use them. Guests in need of medical assistance should notify security personnel or the nearest Yankee Stadium Team Member* or go to the nearest first-aid station. Roving medical personnel are also available throughout the Stadium.
Guest Relations Ambassadors are at Yankee Stadium to help ensure that all Guests have a safe, enjoyable experience. The Stadium's two Guest Relations Booths are open during games to assist Guests with questions and address any needs they may have. The booths are located adjacent to Gate 6 in the Great Hall and on the Field Level at Section 128. Guest Relations Kiosks are also available in and around the Stadium.
A limited number of handheld radios are available at no charge at the Guest Relations Booths.

Induction loops have been installed at approximately 50 locations throughout Yankee Stadium, including some concessions stands, first-aid stations, merchandise stores, Guest Relations Booths and Yankee Stadium Ticket Windows. For a list of locations, please contact Disabled Services or visit a Guest Relations Booth.
Monument Park, a museum in and of itself, recognizes former Yankees greats. On game days, it opens with the gates and remains accessible for Guests' enjoyment until 45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time of the game (subject to capacity limitations). Please note that the line to Monument Park may close earlier than the Park itself. Monument Park is accessible via elevators adjacent to Gate 8. Please ask a Yankee Stadium Team Member* for assistance.
There are two ramps located inside Yankee Stadium: one adjacent to Gate 2 on the left-field side of the Stadium and one adjacent to Gate 6 on the right-field side of the Stadium. Both ramps are accessible for Guests who use wheelchairs or scooters.

After the ticket has been stamped/signed, Guests may exit and re-enter the Stadium only through the lobby.
In the case of an emergency, a TTY telephone is available at the Guest Relations and Ticket Sales Booth, adjacent to Gate 6 in the Great Hall.
All Yankee Stadium tours are accessible for Guests who use wheelchairs or scooters. For those requiring interpreting services, please call (646) 977-TOUR at least three weeks prior to the anticipated tour date.
Guests may store their wheelchairs/scooters at Guest Relations Booths or have security personnel assist with storing the wheelchair/scooter as close as possible to their seat location. The Yankees are not responsible for the damage or theft of any stored item.
The Yankees strongly recommend that Guests who use a wheelchair/scooter bring a wheelchair/ scooter to move around at their convenience and to access restrooms, concessions stands and other areas, as Yankee Stadium does not have wheelchairs to rent or loan for any portion of the game or event. Courtesy wheelchair transfers (when available) may only be provided from the gate Guests enter through to their seat location and from their seat location to an exit gate when they are ready to leave. If the need arises, the courtesy wheelchair transfer service may be halted because of medical situations. Guests may request this courtesy service from security personnel. Please be aware that there will be a period of time that Guests will have to wait for a wheelchair transfer. Wheelchair transfers are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Wheelchair transporters are not permitted to leave the Stadium to pick up or deliver Guests outside the gates.
* Please note that Yankee Stadium Team Members are not necessarily employees of the Yankees. All those who work in the Stadium and provide services to Guests are referred to as "Team Members" even though they may not be employed by the Yankees.
Be advised that the Yankees reserve the right to take appropriate action against individuals who fraudulently obtain wheelchair accessible and/or companion seats, including, without limitation, ejection and legal action.
NOTICE: For the safety of every Guest, all persons specifically consent to and are subject to metal detector and physical pat-down inspections prior to entry. Any person or property that could affect the safety of Yankee Stadium, its occupants or its property shall be denied entry. Guests may bring into the Stadium one soft-sided bag no larger than 16 inches by 16 inches by 8 inches.
WARNING: For the safety of everyone in Yankee Stadium, all Guests must stay alert and be aware of their surroundings at all times, as during all batting practices, fielding practices, warm-ups and throughout the course of all baseball games and the baseball game experiences, hard hit baseballs and bats and fragments thereof may be thrown or hit into the stands, concourses, walkways, concessions areas, Monument Park and all other publicly accessible areas within the Stadium. Further, Guests concerned with their original ticketed location by reason of the foregoing, at any time before, during or after the baseball game or the baseball game experiences, should contact a New York Yankees Ticket Representative located throughout the Stadium to request that they be relocated; however, please remember that: (a) any requested relocation is subject to availability; (b) any alternate seat or standing location may be in a section and/or level of the Stadium and/or within a price category that is not in the same section and/or level and/or price category of the Guests' original ticketed location, regardless of their original ticketed location; and (c) any Guest requesting relocation is responsible for paying the incremental price increase, if any, of the ticket price for the available alternate location.
NOTICE: The Yankees reserve the right, with or without refunding any amount paid by the ticket holder, to refuse admission to and/or eject any person who: (a) is or appears to be impaired; (b) deliberately conceals alcohol or illegal substances while attempting to enter Yankee Stadium; (c) uses foul or abusive language; or (d) wears or fails to cover obscene or indecent clothing. Ticket holders acknowledge and agree that the Yankees' ban on foul/abusive language and obscene/indecent clothing does not violate their right to free speech and/or expression and that such time, place and manner of the restrictions are reasonable to ensure the safety of all Guests and event participants and to preserve the enjoyment of the game or event for all Guests. In addition, ticket holders further acknowledge and agree that by entering the Stadium, they hereby consent to the ban on foul/abusive language and obscene/indecent clothing and waive, to the fullest extent they may legally and effectively do so, any objection they may now or hereafter have to such ban and the penalties that the Yankees may impose for any violation of the same.

Seizing Opportunities
Quincy Thomas
AMC sophomore Quincy Thomas was in the fourth grade his South Windsor, CT elementary school needed someone to play a brass instrument for the band. Quincy was chosen to play the euphonium, a small tuba, and since then he has known that music has to be a part of his life. Throughout junior and senior high, Quincy honed his musical abilities while exploring other talents, which he discovered by participating on the wrestling and football teams. He was adept at both and in his senior year he made the all-state wrestling team. "It took a great deal of discipline for me to keep up with everything," explains Quincy. "I also had the tremendous support of my family."
With so many accomplishments, finding the right college where he could continue to grow his abilities became a challenge. "My parents didn't go to college," states Quincy. "As a first generation student, my family and I were unfamiliar with the search process." Thankfully, as Quincy puts it, "Anna Maria College found me." With budding band and football programs, Quincy was a perfect fit for AMC.
After deciding to attend Anna Maria, Quincy began to think through his major. Criminal Justice appealed to him but he was determined to follow his dream of exploring the music field. "I was afraid that I would always regret it if I didn't try to do something with music," he shares. "The music education program at AMC made sense as it would allow me to study music while preparing me for the teaching profession."
As a music education major, Quincy takes music classes, as well as education classes that expose him to the teaching profession. "It is interesting to see how a classroom works from the perspective of the teacher rather than the student," comments Quincy. "Now I am able to understand what comprises a good learning environment."
Since joining AMC, Quincy has been able to be a part of many firsts for the College. He was the first student to sign the register for the new St. Ann Hall; he is a proud member of the first marching band; and he is a committed team member of the first football team. As part of the football team, he also helped to make history for Anna Maria with the first football victory in November. "It was great to get that first win," states Quincy. "We all feel vindicated and proud of what we were able to accomplish."
Quincy believes that his college experience is a step to the future, so while he is at AMC he plans to make the best of all four years by achieving in academics, sports, and music. "At a small school like Anna Maria, you have the potential to accomplish many things," Quincy shares. "I believe in living life to the fullest and seizing the opportunities. AMC is helping achieve my dream."

Copyright, 1922, by 'She College N�w� f^ews �Volume IX. Nq. 3. BRYN MAWR. PA., WEDNE DAY, OCTOBER 18. 192� Price 10 Cents JOB TO BE ALUMNAE S.,r JOB NOVEMBER FIRST Stuart Walker Play Will Be Staged For Regional Scholarship Eastern Pennsylvania1 � * � ANCIENT MUSIC PLAYED The Philadelphia public, as well as die Bryn Mawr public, will have "an oppor- 4 tunity on Wednesday, November 1, at the Academy of Music, both at three and .eight o'clock in the evening, to see Stuart Walker's production of "The Book of Job," which the Bryn Mawr Alumnae Associa- tion of Eastern Pennsylvania is bringing to Philadelphia .for the benefit of the Alumnae Regional Scholarship. This has been founded by the Alumnae Association to enable girls of great promise in need of financial assistance to come t* Bryn Mawr. .Stuart. Walker has found a fresh dra- matic" inspiration in the one of the least modern sources, the Bible. Taking the tremendous spiritual drama of Job, he has transplanted it from the pages of the King James' version to a modern theatre stag'e and together with beautiful music and ex- traordinary light effects has accomplished something well out of the ordinary. Presented on the stage "The Book of Job" at once becomes vivM drama. It contains the requisite "conflict of'wills," a seldom equalled dramatic, climax, * and a technically sound denouement. It conforms in all details to the requirements of the stage in that definite characters speak in x consecutive dialogue. For the first time the strains of ancient Hebrew music have been heard in the mod- ern theatre. To heighten the authenticity of the rendition of the melodies, the prin- cipal instruments used in the orchestra- tion arranged for the production are harps. In truth it falls to Stuart Walker's lot to reveal to the' American people that the Bookvof Job is one of the most poignanf and noble plays in the history of the drama, written or spoken. OVER FOURTEEN HUNDRED TO ATTEND INAUGURATION Delegates of Ninety-four Universities Will Be at Ceremony in Honor of President Park MANY DISTINGUISHED GUESTS VIRGINIA MILLER, '24, ELECTED VICE-PRESIDENT OF UNDERGRAD Constitution Amended and Conference Committee Elected Virginia Miller, '24, was elected Vice- President of the Undergraduate Associa- tion at a meeting of that body held in Taylor Hall on October 9. Miss Miller, succeeding Marian Russell, *24, who re- signed on account of work, was a member of 1924's Freshman Committee and served on the Cut Committee last year. Elections were also held for the Con- ference Committee, a committee of stu- dents chosen from the Junior and Senior classes, which confers with the Faculty and represents the undergraduates. A. Fraser, '23, and C. Goddard, "23, are Senior Members. E. Pi'erson, '24, is one Junior representative, and another will be chosen at the next meeting. An amendment of the constitution stat- ing that the constitution need not be read until within one week after Thanksgiving, and that Freshmen should not be allowed to vote until after the Thanksgiving holi- days, was moved and accepted. This re- form was suggested in view of President Park's remark that it would be well for the Freshmen to learn regulations and rules of various organizations gradually, as it is hard for them to get accustomed to their new life.

Miss King, with Miss*Lowber, her travel- ling companion, spent a month with ex- President Thomas in a villa on the Bos- phorus, which had been lent to Miss Thomas by Mrs. Embrick, of the Near East Relief. Every day Miss King and Miss Thomas went into Constantinople, where they gave all their* time to visiting mosques, museums, and ruins with always a half hour at least in St. Sophia. They also had the gqod fortune to obtain a private view of the Sultan's palace through the influence of Dorothea Chambers, '19, who is now running' the Y. W. C. A. in Constantinople. The Sultan's private secre- tary, a poet and musician, conducted the party through the palace whose kioske Miss King describes as "marvelous." Mucfi of the rest is modern Empire style "and is very entertaining." Finally they were served with coffee in diamond-studded holders from a coffee service ornamented with beautiful nineteenth century enamels. Among the most interesting of her ex- periences. Miss King relates a visit to a cafe at Chanak. Upon their entrance an air of stiffness was manifest and they were asked if they were English. But with their answer, "American," the atmos- phere changed at once and everyone be- came gracious and friendly. One old Turkish soldier eves, arose and saluted in formal fashion.

01.09.2000CLASSIQUE : REF. 1801BR/12/2W6The Tourbillon WatchOn the 7th of Messidor, Year 9 ( June 26, 1801 ), theMinistry of the Interior of France awarded Breguet a patent for a new type of regulator called Tourbillon, whereby the entire escapement of a watch movement was subjected to permanent regular rotation. Cancelling the effects of gravitational attraction, his ingenious system provided at the time exceptional precision. Today, we take pride in perpetuating Breguet's legendary brainchild with a variety of Tourbillon designs, including this Grande Complication wristwatch in 18K pink gold with a handwound movement featuring a seconds hand fitted directly on the Tourbillon shaft. Its silver-plated gold dial is engraved by hand on the rose engine while the hand-engraved coverlid bears the inscription "Tourbillon".

5 True masterpiece, a work of artNomakk | 26/05/2013 | See all Nomakk's reviews (4)Simply superb. Maybe not the best technically and with some possible improvements on usability, but this game is something else. It is all about dialogues, interaction, choices, moral dilemmas, fine storyline. Voice acting is great, like characters' "look and feel". Everything is very deep, emotional and often heart-touching.The gameplay is also varied, with clever alternance of fighting, stealth and puzzle-solving situations. Just fun.The cinematographic cut is also a nice touch of style.A true must-have and must-play game
5 Pure ClassRinston | 21/04/2013 | See all Rinston's reviews (44)I don't normally go for adventure type games, but I enjoyed the TV series and noted the positive reviews for this so downloaded it from Steam.The story and characters are the real standout here. From start to finish you get involved, love them or hate them, they are so well written and acted. The story is a kind of parallel to the TV series, with a couple of characters in both.The graphics are a stylised comic style which works well, the locals feel atmospheric and brooding, danger is never far away.Combat is effective, as with dialogue you have to act fast and make quick decisions which adds to the atmosphere of tension.The only negative I could find which has no real impact, is the camera view can mean you are sometimes unsure of the limits of the area.I'm sure that 99% of people who finished this game would like me be suprised at how good the characters are, particuly the little girl you end up looking after, Clementine, I doubt you will ever care more about a computer character.I won't do a spoiler, but the final episode.....I quote Vinnie Jones from Lock Stock,"Its been emotional"
5 Loved it!Mgh1987 | 15/04/2013 | See all Mgh1987's reviews (1)I got this as an app on my iPad and didn't put the iPad down for days while I completed. I would highly recommend this game, I'm a big walking dead fan and this didn't disappoint

How about no? Seriously, don't. Stay on topic, or get the fuck out.
Rule 1) Respect the elders and newbies alike.
I've noticed some people come in and act like they own the place. Wrong. If you ever think you own the place, write down your address and I'll be over with a quick order of "Kick-in-the-balls". Heh, my cat's sleepy. Anyway, before saying something you know will offend take a look at their join date. If it's higher, you're out. Certain exceptions are when someone's being a complete moron and seems to be breaking a stupidity barrier. If that's the case then give them one for me. You'll know when this happens because EVERYONE will notice. Don't take it upon yourself to conduct a crusade on someone you think is being an idiot. Seriously. Apologies if I'm not being too (double O's if it refers to an excess) clear about this but the general rule is:
Don't be a douche bag. Respect others opinions, especially if they joined earlier than you. However, if they are a true moron that defies logic, then have at them.
