Well, that's all from us here at Markets Live for 2012. A big thank you to all you readers, we hope you've enjoyed the blog as much as we have.
Best wishes and stay safe this holiday season.
We'll be back Monday January 21, 2013....We hope to see you then.
Wayne Swan's decision to jettison Labor's commitment to get the budget into surplus next year is only a big deal for the economy and perceptions of its management if Labor does what Swan says it won't, and attempts to buy itself another term in office.
Swan's central proposition is correct, and for that reason there is a limit to the political mileage the opposition can extract.
As the September quarter national accounts confirmed, the economy is now running well below its long term growth trend. The annualised growth rate during the quarter was only 2 per cent, and the government's tax receipts in the first four months of the year to June were $3.9 billion lower than estimated.
The hole has mainly been caused by lower commodity prices and competitive pressures on the economy that are partly related to the refusal of our dollar to follow commodity prices down, but Swan has taken the advice of experts including the OECD and decided against finding spending cuts or new revenue to try and fill it.
Here's a snapshot of how blue chip stocks performed today:
- Rio: -0.6%
- Westpac: +0.7%
- Fortescue: -3.4%
- Woolworths: +0.3%
- Wesfarmers: +1.3%
- Telstra: +0.2%
The dollar changed hands at $US1.0475, from $US1.0484 early, pulling away from a three-month peak of $1.0585 hit last week. The Aussie has fallen nearly 1 percent this week.
Charts show some vulnerability with support at $US1.0440, a double bottom from earlier in the month. A break would suggest a move under $US1.0400. Resistance was initially seen at $US1.0535, the previous session high.
Foreign investors have been cooling their interest in bonds sold by Australia's state governments just as some have been feeling pressure on credit ratings.
However the nation's big banks have been stepping in to pick up the shortfall, as they prepare for the introduction of new rules forcing them to pump up their holdings of assets.
Overseas ownership of of state government bonds - also known as semi-government bonds - fell by $1.1 billion in the September quarter, according to figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.
This has seen the overseas percentage ownership of semi-government's fall to 33.8 per cent from 36.2 per cent in the June quarter.State bonds on issue rose by $10.2 billion to $203.8 billion in the September quarter, according to the ABS data.
Among the sectors, financials and consumer staples both pushed up 0.7 per cent, while gold and energy shares lost 0.6 per cent and materials was relatively flat, down 0.1 per cent.
The market has finished stronger, with a fresh 17-month high close. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 added 16.3 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 4634.1, while the broader All Ords rose 13.4 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 4646.6
Hong Kong's de facto central bank says it will probe Swiss banking giant UBS over claims of possible rigging of Hong Kong's interbank offered rate (Hibor).
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) today said it had received information from overseas regulators about ''possible misconduct'' by UBS involving submissions for Hibor and other reference rates in Asia.
Now that the small stuff is done, onto the big story of the day.. Will be #BHP make in 12 in a row, something not achieved since 17/2/1987? — David Scutt (@David_Scutt) December 20, 2012
The Bank of Japan eased monetary policy today by expanding its asset-buying and lending programme, a widely expected move in response to intensifying pressure from incoming premier Shinzo Abe to deliver bolder steps to beat deflation.
The central bank topped up its asset-buying and lending programme by 10 trillion yen to 101 trillion yen by a unanimous vote, expanding stimulus for the third time in the past four months.
It also said the board would review at its next policy-setting meeting in January its guidelines for medium- and long-term price stability, which is now set in a range of zero to 2 percent consumer inflation.
JPMorgan economist Tom Kennedy said Swan's comments meant that there would be less pressure on the Reserve Bank in its easing of monetary policy.
"I think the fiscal drag will obviously be less over the current financial year and I'm assuming so into the 2014 financial year as well," he said.
"For that reason we think at the margin it takes a bit of pressure off the RBA, because now we have the two arms of policy - the monetary arm and the fiscal arm - moving in a more congruent manner, rather than going in the opposite directions."
Mr Kennedy said while Mr Swan was emphasising a "temporary hole" in the budget, a deficit should be expected as growth fades next year.
"When you look at the outlook for 2013, you've basically got growth fading. ... In addition, you've got commodity prices that we think have certainly seen their peak in terms of pricing. You had very high prices for coal and iron ore in the back end of 2011 and I think the economy is still adjusting to the lower prices," he said.
"I think considering the current outlook, a deficit will certainly be what occurs with the budget."
Surprise,surprise - a surplus is unlikely for 2012-13 thanks to revenue hit. The Govt has done the right thing to drop surplus commitment — Shane Oliver (@ShaneOliverAMP) December 20, 2012
Here's some good news for retailers from our small business team, businesses may get that sales boost they've been begging Santa for after all, with a new survey showing a rise in consumer spending ahead of Christmas.
More from the Swan presser, When asked about what Labor would say heading into the next election, Mr Swan said Labor had delivered ''responsible economic management''.
''Unlike the rest of the world, our budget is still in relatively good shape,'' he said.
''We are going to continue to apply our fiscal rules in a commonsense view. If we were to engage in cuts immediately ... that would be counterproductive for growth and jobs in the economy.
Only a handful of suburbs in Melbourne and fewer than 50 in Sydney are cheaper for aspiring owners to buy a home in than to rent.
Of Melbourne's 668 suburbs, only six were more affordable to buy than rent and among Sydney's 967 suburbs, only 48 fit the bill.
But in other parts of the country the recent fall in interest rates and stable house prices has boosted the number of suburbs and country towns where it is cheaper to buy than rent.
In October there were 388 localities, this month there were 494, according to RP Data's latest Buy vs. Rent report.And if prospective home owners were willing to chip in another $50 per week, that number rose to 1726 localities, the report said.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics says super fund assets have risen by $56.1 billion to almost $1.4 trillion in the September quarter, as cash holdings reached a record high of 15.9 per cent of financial assets.
CommSec chief economist Savanth Sebastian said Australian super funds were holding almost double the ''normal'' amount in cash and bank assets, a reflection that equity investments were less than the cash inflows recorded by fund managers.
''The risk for fund managers is being caught with too much money on the sidelines while equity markets track higher,'' he said in a research note.
''As term deposit rates fall and the global economy strengthens, pension funds will need to allocate a larger proportion of inflows to growth assets.''
The Finance Department's latest monthly statement released today shows cash receipts for 2012-13 so far totalled $111.6 billion at the end of October, down $3.9 billion on expectations.
''Now that's a really big hit to revenue, it's a huge whack to revenue,'' Mr Swan told reporters in Canberra.
''Now, obviously dramatically lower tax revenue now makes it unlikely that there will be a surplus in 2012-13.''

In case you missed it earlier, here's another reminder: this will be the final edition of Markets Live for 2012.
We'll be back on Monday, January 21, 2013.
The Commonwealth Bank has been flirting with the $100 billion market cap mark in recent weeks, but has been met with some resistance as everyone winds down for Christmas.
JPMorgan banking analyst Scott Manning said CBA's recent performance compared with the other major banks had a lot to do with the dividend cycle.
"Commonwealth Bank typically does very well in the couple of months between when the other banks go ex-dividend and when it works into its dividend," Mr Manning said.
"Typically that outperformance is maximised up to about 45 days before the ex-dividend date, which is that minimum holding period for franking credit."
Mr Manning said there had been a similar pattern over the last two years and while CBA has a chance at becoming a $100 billion company next year, it is unlikely to happen in 2012.
"With volumes quite down in the market towards the end of the year, it's hard to to see in the relative sense, strench higher.
"The only thing that would probably allow it to crack the $100 billion mark[in the near term] would be a broader push north for the financial sector."
Global condom and glove giant Ansell has appointed a Johnson & Johnson veteran to its board.
Annie Lo, formerly chief financial officer of Johnson & Johnson's worldwide consumer and personal care group, will join the $2 billion Melbourne-based company from January 1.Chairman Glenn Barnes said Ansell was "delighted" with Mrs Lo's appointment.
"Annie's business experience and her strong and diversified background in finance, developing markets, business integration and medical devices will further strengthen our board and complement our existing expertise as we pursue our global growth objectives, both organically and by way of acquisition."
Bloomberg reports that BHP Billiton sold a record $US14.2 billion of bonds in 2012 at borrowing costs as low as 1 percent to fund its biggest acquisition and new low-cost mines, even as the commodities boom peaks.
Australia's biggest company raised more than twice its previous highest annual total and included $1 billion of 2015 notes with a coupon of 1 per cent, the least the Melbourne-based miner has ever paid, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
BHP issued 30-year notes, matching the longest maturity debt the company has sold, and returned to its home credit market after an absence of more than a decade, the data show.
BHP ''recognized the benefit of the current low interest rates environment, in particular for long maturities up to 30 years,'' the company said in an e-mailed response to questions. The sales had ''good support from investors,'' it said.
And now for the major sliders on the ASX200:
- Ten: -4.33%
- Aquila: -4.15%
- Seven West Media: -3.69%
- Billabong: -3.53%
- Cabcharge: -2.42%
Boart Longyear shares are charging ahead - up 9 per cent for the day. Here are the other major gainers on the ASX200:
- Dexus Property: +3.47%
- GWA Group: +3.23%
- Mirvac: +3.18%
- Navitas: +2.98%
- Oz Minerals: +2.53%
Miguel Audencial, sales trader at CMC Markets, has shared a few observations about markets today:
Volume is high so far today, but this is most likely due to the expiry of various futures and options contracts. I expect volumes will be subdued leading up to Christmas and all the way to the New Year unless there are any significant developments in the fiscal cliff negotiations.
US unemployment claims, US existing home sales, and the Phily Fed Manufacturing figures are due tonight. However, expect these to be placed in the back seat of any fiscal cliff related news.
Gold is ending the year on a low note. The shiny stuff has traded near the lowest level since August as the US budget impasse helped support the US dollar.
Spot gold was dopwn fractionally in morning trade to $US1667.95 an ounce after dropping 0.2 per cent yesterday and falling to $US1,661.10 on Dec. 18, the lowest level since August 31 on signs of progress in the US negotiations. Gold for February delivery rose 0.1 percent to $1,670.10 an ounce on the Comex.
''We've had a few violent moves towards the downside,'' said Jonathan Barratt, chief executive officer of Barratt's Bulletin.
''Looking into 2013, we still feel confident about prices eventually moving higher,'' he said, citing prospects for increased ETP demand, central-bank buying and a weaker dollar next year.
Troubled agribusiness and automotive interiors supplier Elders has blamed a weak market for lower sales and earnings in the first two months of its fiscal year.
The debt-laden company also said the sale process for two of its businesses - Elders Rural Services and Futuris Automotive - was having an effect on the company.
''Market conditions during the first two months to November had featured dry conditions, subdued activity and lower prices in livestock markets and production schedule cutbacks in the automotive sector,'' chairman John Ballard said at the company's annual general meeting in Adelaide.
''Trading results have reflected this climate."
Westpac chief currency strategist Robert Rennie said that as the year's end approached, improved sentiment in Europe had taken some shine away from the Australian currency.
''Global investors have spent the last three or four years underweighting European assets, and overweighting Australian ones,'' he said.
''But if you look back over 2012, two of the most important global economic events were the LTROs (long-term refinancing operations) and OMTs (Outright Monetary Transactions) for the euro zone.
"I think (European Central Bank president) Mario Draghi should take pride in achieving those things, and removing left-field risk from Europe. For this reason, the movement we've seen in euro crosses, including the euro-Aussie dollar, are fairly significant."
The Aussie was trading recently at 79.24 euro cents, its lowest point since October. It was also down against the greenback to $US1.0465.
BHP is higher and has given itself every chance of notching its 12th day of gains. The big miner was down 0.84 per cent shortly after the open, but is now showing a gain of 0.1 per cent.
The rescue of Nine Entertainment remains on track with the Federal Court ruling that opponents of a crucial scheme of arrangement cannot stop the deal going ahead.
Nine owes its creditors almost $3.4 billion, and a senior lenders' agreement covering $2.24 billion of that debt will expire on February 7.
A submission tendered in the Federal Court on Monday said: "The company will almost certainly not be able to repay the total sum which falls due on that date."
But the Federal Court ruled today that the scheme of arrangement could go ahead.
This was despite the complaints of a group of Nine's secured lenders - including GE Capital Finance, National Australia Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland - that they were not involved in recent negotiations between Nine and some of its senior and subordinated lenders.
New Zealand's GDP growth was weaker than expected, rising by only +0.2% in Q3 (market had +0.4%). Downward revisions meant y-o-y growth slowed to +2.0% (market had +2.5%).
Growth was held back by continued seismic activity, the high NZD and the global slowdown, HSBC notes:
- However, recent business surveys show improving conditions in Q4, as the post-earthquake rebuild in Canterbury gathers pace. We expect this to be a key support for growth in 2013.
- While today's GDP numbers were weak, they were broadly in line with RBNZ forecasts. We expect the RBNZ to keep rates on hold until late 2013.
Tokyo stocks have opened 0.7 per cent lower after yesterday's year-best gain of 2.4 per cent as investors wait for the outcome of a Bank of Japan policy meeting.
The Nikkei 225 index was down 67.29 points at 10,093.11 this morning after it chalked up the year's biggest gain to close above the 10,000 level for the first time in more than eight months on Wednesday.
''Stocks will likely tread water as players await the Bank of Japan's next decision on monetary policy due today,'' says SMBC Nikko Securities general manager of equities Hiroichi Nishi.
Stocks had risen on the back of a weaker yen following a landslide win by the opposition Liberal Democratic Party and its ally in Japan's national elections on Sunday.
The Bank of Japan is under scrutiny to see if its stance or rhetoric reflects an increase in pressure from the incoming coalition to further loosen monetary policy.
The bank wraps up a two-day policy meeting later on Thursday.
''Given the supermajority election wins, the BoJ would be very unwise to ignore the people's decision,'' an equity strategist at a foreign brokerage told Dow Jones Newswires.
''Iron ore markets: Making hay while the sun shines,'' is what RBS Morgans is calling its morning note on the bulk commodity:
- The iron ore spot price has risen to $135/t in the last week. We believe prices are up due to a number of factors - economic activity is up (cars, housing and rail production are all up) as well as aggressive re-stocking after a slump in September.
- It's a knee jerk response to a rapid pick-up in economic activity, it just depends on how long this can be maintained and if this is a sustained Chinese comeback, or if this just a bounce off a low base.
- We suggest investors trade the current pick-up in sentiment/momentum.
- 72% of Rio's NPAT comes from iron ore. Rio remains one of the lowest cost producers with the highest leverage to current high prices. FMG is also highly levered to the iron ore price, and upside may come from the re-start of the construction of their Kings project.
The federal government has lauded the competition watchdog's provisional approval for a Qantas partnership with Emirates as a win for both domestic and international travellers.
Tourism Minister Martin Ferguson says the tourism industry will benefit from the stability the alliance gives Qantas.It also would help create the efficient air links vital to attracting long-haul passengers:
''The alliance will allow Qantas to concentrate on timetabling flights from Asia at times visitors want to travel.
"(It will) ensure visitors from Europe and the Middle East can fly to Australia with greater ease on a single ticket, often with only one stop.''
And some more on the ACCC's Qantas-Emirates decision: CBA equities analyst Matt Crowe says investors expected the regulator's draft ruling to be in favour of the deal because it was a ''very competitive industry''.
''We would be extremely surprised if the final determination [from the ACCC] is any different."
Crowe says it was probably ''bit of wishful thinking'' on the part of Qantas and Emirates to expect the regulator to propose granting approval for 10 years.
Qantas's revenue-sharing agreement with British Airways on the kangaroo route to Europe had been approved for five years, while Virgin Australia and Air New Zealand's tie-up on the trans-Tasman routes has anti-trust approval for three years – two years less than the airlines had sought.
The Qantas-BA alliance will end in March, just before the Australian airline officially teams up with Emirates (provided they gain final approval from the ACCC).
More from the ACCC. The competition watchdog has also blocked Carsales.com's takeover of the Trading Post website as it would reduce competition in the car classifieds market.
Carsales.com shares were 13 cents worse at $7.45.
And Qantas shares are broadly flat after the ACCC gave preliminary approval for the airline's tie-up with Emirates. Qantas shares were trading at $1.45 after climbing to $1.47, while rival Virgin Australia was flat at 40.5 cents.
IG Markets market strategist Stan Shamu said that after a few weeks of positive political banter in the US, political leaders had disagreed overnight about the Republicans' 'Plan B' to avoid the cliff.
''It's quite clear the markets are trying to price in some caution because of course the rally was solely on the fact everyone was expecting to go through without any problems,'' he said.
''With that in mind it's currently flat and it seems the balance of power has shifted away from risk assets, particularly resources, and back to yield plays and some of the more defensive sectors.''
The competition watchdog says Telstra proposed acquisition of the smaller Adam Internet would reduce competition in phone and internet services.
Telstra wants to buy South Australia's Adam Internet and turn it into a national no-frills broadband company with lower-cost products, offering Telstra a two-brand strategy in the market.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said the deal was likely to result in a substantial lessening of competition in the supply of retail fixed voice and broadband services.
The ACCC expects to make a final decision on February 7, and has asked for more submissions before January 24.Telstra said it would ''continue to constructively engage with the ACCC regarding the proposed purchase of Adam Internet''.
The company's shares were steady at $4.34.
The big banks are faring better than the big miners in a flat market:
- CBA is flat at $61.33
- ANZ is 0.45% higher to $24.75
- NAB is 0.12% higher to $24.83
- Westpac is 0.27% higher to $25.87
Sector by sector on the ASX200 - defensives in the ascendant, miners a drag on the market:
- Utilities: +0.76%
- Info tech: +0.49%
- Telecoms: +0.46%
- Industrials: +0.41%
- Financials: +0.27%
- Materials: -0.47%
- Energy: -0.46%
More on OZ Minerals. Resources reporter Peter Ker writes that OZ Minerals is set to report 2012 earnings that are about 15 per cent lower than the year before, and the slide may continue into 2013.
Responding to a share price slump of close to 10 per cent on Wednesday, the copper and gold producer told the ASX that heavy trading on the stock was likely to be the result of analysts updating their evaluations based on previously disclosed information.
OZ has previously advised that its South Australian operations have moved into lower grades of copper in recent months, and would continue to do so in 2013.
At the same time the company has increased expenditure on trucks and other fleet, and OZ said this morning that a combination of factors were likely to see 2012 earnings be "more than 15 per cent" lower than the year before. But the final result can't be confirmed until after the results are tabled after December 31.
Shares in Tony Lambert's Cape Lambert Resources are down 7 per cent after fedeal police yesterday raided the company's headquarters. The company has offered no comment on the raid. More on this one as we get it too. Coverage here.
OZ Minerals has responded to the ASX about yesterday's 9.8 per cent share dive. More soon. It's shares are 1.4 per cent higher early.
In early trade, the All Ordinaries index is 1.6 points higher, or 0.0 per cent, to 4634.8, while the benchmark S&P/ASX200 is 2.4 points higher, or 0.1 per cent, to 4620.2.
A sidenote to the falls on Wall Street overnight. The Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index, known as the VIX, aka 'the fear index', jumped 12 per cent to 17.42 for the biggest gain since October 23. The VIX measures the expected volatility on the S&P500 over the next 30 days.
Apparently the standoff now on show in Washington is starting to rattle investors.
A note from Arab Bank's David Scutt on one of the ASX's standout performers this month:
#BHP has finished higher for 11-straight sessions. The last time it made it 12 in a row was 2-20 Feb 1987 #ausbiz #thebigaustralian
— David Scutt (@David_Scutt) December 19, 2012
Iron ore has continued its blockbuster run overnight, adding another $US3.30 to $US135.50. It was last at that level on 9 July this year, before sliding to $US86.60 on 5 September. That makes it gains in 11 out of 12 sessions.
In major corporate news this morning, the competition regulator has given a tentative nod of approval to Qantas's close alliance with Emirates but knocked the airlines back on their request for a 10-year timeframe for their deal.
In a boost to the Australian airline's fortunes, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission today released a draft ruling proposing to allow the airlines to co-operate on passenger and freight operations across their networks.
The ACCC's chairman, Rod Sims, said the alliance was likely to result in ''material, although not substantial benefits'' to Australian consumers.
Aussie stocks look set for a sluggish start after Wall Street eased into the close as the game of brinkmanship over the US budget continued.
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 3 points higher at 4606
- The $A was trading at $US1.0494
- In late trade, the S&P500 had lost 0.38% to 1441.36
- In Europe, the FTSE100 added 0.43% to 5961.59
- China iron ore added $US3.30 to $US135.50 a metric tonne
- Gold added 0.4% to $US1669.30 an ounce
- WTI crude oil added $US1.58 to $US89.51 a barrel
- RJ/CRB commodities index was flat at 295.59

Taped on location in Hawaii, this audio program provides a rare opportunity to listen in on a profoundly moving dialogue between two of the three "most spiritually influential people alive" (Watkins Magazine).
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer and Eckhart Tolle delve into everything from ancient spiritual texts to contemporary pop culture as they tackle questions we all wrestle with, such as Who am I? What is real? and What is the meaning of life? Yet even as they discuss weighty topics such as the economy and addiction, the mood remains graceful, loving, and even humorous. Through their combined wisdom and perception, Wayne and Eckhart bring you inspired lessons for an exhilarating spiritual awakening. This, according to Eckhart, "consists of relinquishing identification with the conditioned mind through the cultivation of awareness."Although these lessons are full of rich, philosophical insight, they are also very practical and can easily be applied to the individual listener and the world at large. For, as Wayne explains, when we "create a world of extraordinary people who look beyond what they were programmed to become, we impact the entire consciousness of this planet."
©2013 Hay House (P)2013 Hay House
"Great listen and funny too!"
I love Dr. Dyer and Eckhart Tolle is great too. Lots of fun when these guys get together. Highly recommend this audiobook .
"Dyer and Tolle are very authentic and inspiring"
Yes, with great results.
I liked the way they interacted with each other, they are clearly good friends with like minds.
Watch what you say after the words "I am..."
This seems to be a recent recording since Wayne is talking about his former illness. I've been a big fan of Wayne Dyer for many years and it is heartwarming to see how he has mellowed and grown to be such a positive force in many lives. My favorite quote is when he described himself as "A basket case of love".
"It was painful to listen to Wayne Dyer"
a. If described as a contrast of consciousness and claimed consciousness; can you perceive the dissonance? I would have been much better informed PRIOR to purchase.
Absolutely yes to Tolle. Absolutely NO to Dyer.

Melanoma of the eye is cancer that occurs in various parts of the eye.
Malignant melanoma - choroid; Malignant melanoma - eye; Eye tumor; Ocular melanoma
Melanoma is a very aggressive type of cancer that can spread rapidly.
Melanoma of the eye can affect several parts of the eye, including the:
The choroid layer is the most likely site of melanoma in the eye.
The cancer may only be in the eye. Or it may spread (metastasize) to another location in the body, most commonly the liver. Melanoma can also begin on the skin or other organs in the body and spread to the eye.
Melanoma is the most common type of eye tumor in adults. Even so, melanoma that starts in the eye is rare.
Too much exposure to sunlight is an important risk factor. Persons who have fair-skin and blue eyes are most affected.
In some cases, there may be no symptoms.
An eye examination with an ophthalmoscope may reveal a single round or oval lump (tumor) in the eye.
Tests that may be ordered include:
Small melanomas may be treated with:
Surgery to remove the eye (enucleation) may be needed.
Other treatments that may be used are chemotherapy y or biological therapy (interferon).
You can ease the stress of illness by joining a cancer support group . Sharing with others who have common experiences and problems can help you not feel alone.
The outcome for melanoma of the eye depends on the size of the cancer when it is diagnosed. Most patients survive at least 5 years from the time of diagnosis if the cancer has not spread outside the eye.
If the cancer has spread outside the eye, the chance of survival is much lower.
Call for an appointment with your health care provider if you have symptoms of melanoma of the eye.
The most important way to prevent eye melanoma is to protect the eyes from sunlight, especially between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m., when the sun's rays are most intense. Wear sunglasses that have ultraviolet protection.
A yearly eye exam is recommended.

Best pore cleanser ever - 2/15/2015 2:28:12 PM I've struggled with blackheads on my nose and cheeks since I was a kid. I've tried scrubs and peels and this and that and had finally resigned that they'd never get better. But with this cleanser I actually noticed a difference. I had smaller pores, fewer blackheads and my skin's appearance was just better overall. And I know it works - not just because of the initial results but I recently switched to a different regimen and ran out of this cleanser. Thought that the new stuff would take it's place. But not so - I've noticed a resurgence in pore size and how noticeable my blackheads are. So I'm reordering and will never run out again! This stuff WORKS!Battery died after less than 2 years - 2/8/2015 3:58:51 AM I got the Aria in 2013 and have used it quite a few times. However, by the end of 2014, the Aria no longer held a charge and was completely useless. So very disappointed!Cleaning never felt so good! - 1/31/2015 2:48:46 PM I've been a happy Clarisonic user for many years, but lately some of the brushes have felt a little harsh (maybe it's the winter weather). This brush feels so, so soft and makes cleansing a treat. It also cleans thoroughly, especially with a cleanser like Skinceuticals Simply Clean. If you're looking for exfoliation, this brush probably won't do it but it's great for tender, irritated, or sensitive skin.It really feels like cashmere on your skin! - 1/28/2015 7:29:00 PM Once you try this, you cannot go back to the normal brushheads. It's so gentle yet it does help to clean your skin very efficiently. The only downside is that it's so expensive..shocked by how well this soft brush works - 1/15/2015 12:05:52 PM I've been using Clarisonic for years and was quite skeptical of this very soft brush. What I begain to notice is because the brush tip is softer and longer the product seems to stay on the face to cleanse better than previous brushes. I've seen great results from the radiance brush and product line.Way Too Soft - 1/5/2015 5:29:54 AM Thought I would try this brush head but should have returned it. This brush head is way way too soft. The one I took off did a better job than this one. Not for me but if you have extremely sensitive skin, this may work for you.The best Clarisonic Set! - 12/15/2014 2:58:28 PM I have been using my Clarisonic for about four year with various cleansers. This is the first time I decided to try their facial care products. I love it! The brush is great, the evening peel cleans all the makeup away, and the morning illuminating wash worked right away. After two weeks my skin is softer, smoother and I have been getting compliments. Don't let the price scare you, a little goes a long way.Great brush for winter beaten skin - 12/14/2014 2:35:24 PM My skin feels especially raw and dry during winter months, therefore I'm being very delicate whilst cleaning my face. This brush is gentle enough: soft bristles and nice gliding feeling. It suits me even better than the Sensitive brush head but because the bristles are longer, it tickles my nose! :) I like to use it as part of my evening double-cleansing routine (which I do only when I've applied full makeup on, ie. CC cream/ foundation). First, I would dissolve my makeup with an oily makeup remover. Then, I would finish off with a creamy cleanser, using the Clarisonic. Last, toner and night serum. This leaves my skin smooth and bouncy, not squeaky at all. I would recommend the Cashmere brush to Clarisonic beginners!Love this Product - 12/13/2014 8:35:04 PM My face has never felt so clean and refreshed. After using this product just one time, my face took on a tight and glowing look. It reminded me of when I was in high school and I'm 65 years old. Thank you Skin Store for this wonderful deal !This is the one! - 12/12/2014 12:25:44 PM I have used several Clarisonic brush heads: Cashmere, Delicate, Sensitive, Deep Pore, and now finally Sonic Radiance. Cashmere was too soft, but I would think its an excellent brush for anyone with the most sensitive, delicate skin. Delicate and Deep Pore, in my use, felt like the same brush, great brushes both of them, but I wanted something that was still a bit gentler. Sonic is in between Cashmere and Delicate in terms of softness. This Sonic Radiance brush is perfect for my sensitive skin, its the brush I was looking for as it removes all my makeup and there is NO irritation afterwards. I also tend to rub a bar of gentle soap on the bristles after using it, rinse thoroughly, shake out the excess water and dry it with a towel. I do this with all my brush heads and they last over 3 months easy. I've used this new brush head for several weeks and I'm very satisfied. -

The Clarisonic cleansing system is clinically proven to enhance the effectiveness of daily facial cleansing. Studies have shown that using the cleanser in place of a washcloth or the hands cleanses twice as much of the skin oils and impurities that can irritate the complexion and clog the pores if left in place. The powerful, yet gentle vibrations produced by the oscillating brush heads also lift away six times as much residue from makeup, leaving the skin fresh. By exfoliating as it cleanses, the Clarisonic brush even improves the absorption of the treatments and moisturizers in the other steps of your regimen, boosting the performance of topicals.
No two complexions have the exact same needs, so Clarisonic has introduced a number of different models and cleansing systems, ensuring that there is an ideal power cleanser for every person in the collection. Whether you suffer from frequent hypersensitivity, breakouts or signs of skin congestion like blackheads, Clarisonic has a cleansing solution that will help address your dermatological concerns while helping you get better results from your entire skin care regimen. The cleansers come in a variety of colors and in full and compact sizes, allowing you to select the one that suits your personal tastes and your lifestyle.
In addition to solutions for the facial skin, Clarisonic has made great innovations in body skin care. Systems are available for addressing dull, rough trouble spots like the elbows and the knees, and the brand has developed highly effective pedicure systems.

khanster wrote:Early Christianity and reincarnation:Notice that the Pharisees questioning John were expecting the reincarnation of an Old Testament prophet. And John did not refute the concept of reincarnation when he stated his ignorance about having a past life as Elijah. But Jesus was not ignorant about John. Jesus knew better and said so in the plainest words possible:
This is the one ... there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist ... And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come. He who has ears, let him hear. (Matt. 11:11-15)
Jesus revealed John to be Elijah; but John denied it. Which of the two people are right - Jesus or John? The answer should be very clear. John's denial of his own past identity as Elijah does not mean he did not have a past life as Elijah. This is especially true when Jesus claimed that John was indeed Elijah.
Good grief!
The Pharisees were not expecting a reincarnation of an Old Testament prophet, they were expecting THE Old Testament prophet. John wasn't lying when he said he wasn't Elijah and Jesus was correct when He called him Elijah because John the Baptist came in the office of Elijah, doing the work of Elijah. That is why Jesus followed that up with "He who has ears to hear, let him hear."
Jesus was basically saying, "You wanted to see Elijah, well, here he is, listen to him and believe what he says" But, they did not.

Acute mountain sickness is an illness that can affect mountain climbers, hikers, skiers, or travelers at high altitudes, usually above 8,000 feet (2,400 meters).
High altitude cerebral edema; Altitude anoxia; Altitude sickness; Mountain sickness; High altitude pulmonary edema
Acute mountain sickness is caused by reduced air pressure and lower oxygen levels at high altitudes.
The faster you climb to a high altitude, the more likely you will get acute mountain sickness.
You are at higher risk for acute mountain sickness if:
Your symptoms will also depend on the speed of your climb and how hard you push (exert) yourself. Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening. They can affect the nervous system, lungs, muscles, and heart.
In most cases, symptoms are mild. Symptoms of mild to moderate acute mountain sickness may include:
Symptoms that may occur with more severe acute mountain sickness include:
The doctor or nurse will examine you and listen to your chest with a stethoscope. This may reveal sounds called crackles (rales) in the lung. Rales may be a sign of fluid in the lungs.
Tests that may be done include:
Early diagnosis is important. Acute mountain sickness is easier to treat in the early stages.
The main treatment for all forms of mountain sickness is to climb down (descend) to a lower altitude as rapidly and safely as possible. You should not continue climbing if you develop symptoms.
Extra oxygen should be given, if available.
People with severe mountain sickness may need to be admitted to a hospital.
Acetazolamide (Diamox) may be given to help you breathe better. It can help reduce mild symptoms. This medicine can make you urinate more often. Make sure you drink plenty of fluids and avoid alcohol when taking this drug. This medication works best when taken before reaching a high altitude.
If you have fluid in your lungs (pulmonary edema), treatment may include:
Dexamethasone (Decadron) may help reduce swelling in the brain (cerebral edema).
Portable hyperbaric chambers allow hikers to simulate conditions at lower altitudes without actually moving from their location on the mountain. These devices are very helpful if bad weather or other factors make climbing down the mountain impossible.
Most cases are mild. Symptoms improve quickly when you climb down the mountain to a lower altitude.
Severe cases may result in death due to lung problems or brain swelling, called cerebral edema.
In remote locations, emergency evacuation may not be possible, or treatment may be delayed. This can have a negative affect on your outcome.
Call your health care provider if you have or had symptoms of acute mountain sickness, even if you felt better when you returned to a lower altitude.
Call 911 or your local emergency number if you or another climber have any of the following symptoms:
Climb down the mountain immediately and as safely as possible.
Keys to preventing acute mountain sickness include:
If you are traveling above 9,840 feet (3,000 meters), you should carry enough oxygen for several days.
If you plan on quickly climbing to a high altitude, ask your doctor about a medication called acetazolamide (Diamox). This drug helps your body get used to higher altitudes more quickly, and reduces minor symptoms. It should be taken the day before you climb, and then for the next 1 to 2 days.
If you are at risk for a low red blood cell count (anemia), ask your doctor if an iron supplement is right for you. Anemia lowers the amount of oxygen in your blood. This makes you more likely to have mountain sickness.
While climbing:
You should avoid high altitudes if you have heart or lung disease.

Your doctor may order this test if you have signs of low iron (iron deficiency) or too much iron.
Note: mcg/dl = micrograms per deciliter
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

Dear OncoLink "Ask The Experts,"
Weijing Sun, MD, Assistant Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, the Director of Upper GI and Pancreatic-biliary-hepatic Cancer Group and the Associate Director of the GI Cancer Program, responds:
There is no particular chemotherapy regimen for appendiceal cancers. In clinical practice, we typically apply the regimens for colon cancer to appendiceal cancers. These include some combination of fluorouracil (5-FU), leucovorin (which is not a chemotherapy drug per se, but a form of folic acid that is used to make the fluorouracil more effective), oxaliplatin, irinotecan, and capecitabine.
Jan 20, 2011 - The combination of chemotherapy with intensity-modulated radiation therapy is equally as effective for the treatment of anal cancer after two years as the combination of chemotherapy and conventionally delivered radiation therapy, as well as less toxic, according to a study presented at the American Society of Clinical Oncology's annual Gastrointestinal Cancers Symposium, held from Jan. 20 to 22 in San Francisco.
