That's all from us here at Markets Live today. Thanks for being with us.
Enjoy your evening, we'll see you tomorrow.
For our friends across the ditch, New Zealand's benchmark NZX 50 index rose 0.9 per cent or 42.7 points to finish the session at 4,693.6, an all-time high.
Here are the best and worst performers for the day on the ASX200:
The market has finished higher, with the benchmark S&P/ASX200 jumping 28.4 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 5248. The broader All Ords gained 27 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 5241.7.
Privately-owned software firm MYOB has reported a surge in the number of new customers buying subscriptions to its online services, as the rise of cloud computing shakes up the sector.
MYOB, now owned by Bain Capital, made its name in the 1990s selling accounting software packages for small businesses to install on desktop computers.
But in recent years it has faced growing competition from new rivals such as ASX-listed Xero providing similar services over the web.
After reporting a 7.6 per cent rise in first half revenue to $115.7 million, chief executive Tim Reed said the share of new customers coming to the business via online subscriptions had surged to 42 per cent and would soon be much higher.
MYOB was listed on the ASX until January 2009, when it was taken private by Archer Capital before being sold to Bain for $1.2 billion in 2011.
Mr Reed played down the chances of it re-listing anytime soon.
Lynas is set for the sharpest gain in two months in Sydney after it renegotiated the terms of a $225 million loan facility.
The shares gained as much as 9.9 per cent to 44.5 cents, the most since July 11, and are currently trading at 43.5 cents, up 7.4 per cent.
A loan facility with Sojitz Corp and Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corp deferred to March 31, 2015 from Jan. 19, 2014 the date by which Sydney-based Lynas is required to meet targets for production volumes and cash operating margins, the company said in a statement.
The renegotiation reflects ''subdued global rare earths demand and previous delays to the start up of the Lynas Advanced Materials Plant,'' in Malaysia, the company said.
''Lynas is finally starting to turn a corner, and they are getting to a stage now where they can actually ramp up,'' says IG's Evan Lucas. ''The renegotiation of the loan is actually not a bad thing, it means they can get on with the job.''
Commentator Gordon Akman has asked if we can give Discovery Metals a prize. While we like to remain objective here at Markets Live, we can provide you with an update and a nifty chart.
Yes, Gordon, just like Wet 'n' Wild.
Discovery Metals shares have plummeted 11.5 per cent to 11.5 cents today after the miner said it was advanced discussions with one party in relation to a re-financing proposal, but there was no guarantee that an acceptable binding proposal would come of the negotiations.
Discovery said it and its lender have jointly agreed to extend the date for a final board recommended offer to September 30, 2013.
The last 12 months has been rough for Discovery Metals.
Housing prices continued their rise in the week after the federal election, new figures show.
The RP Data-Rismark Daily Home Value Index for the five mainland state capitals rose by 0.5 per cent in the week ending Sunday, September 15.
The rise brought the annual rise in housing prices, which bottomed out in mid-2012, to 5.7 per cent.
Aside from Perth, with a fall of 0.2 per cent, the other four capitals in the index posted rises last week.
Sydney was at the front of the pack, with a gain of 0.8 per cent for the week and 8.0 per cent for the year.
Adelaide had the weakest annual increase of just 0.1 per cent, while Perth had the biggest annual rise, 8.8 per cent.
The weekly auction clearance rate for the combined capitals was 74.6 per cent, down only marginally from the week before which was the strongest result since late 2010.
The market has been underpinned by a rise in demand relative to supply, with the number of homes on the market down by 14.1 per cent from a year before, led by a 28.6 per cent fall in Sydney.
Energy giant AGL has appointed an interim chief executive and three new directors to the Australian Power and Gas Company (APG) as part of its takeover of the electricity provider.
AGL has now acquired an 81 per cent stake in APG and has announced a 52 cent a share on market offer for remaining shares.
Today it announced APG chief executive James Myatt had left the company and chief financial officer Warren Kember has been appointed interim CEO.
AGL shares are down 1 per cent.
Anyone expecting a decidedly risk off tone going into this week's Fed meeting will be thinking again, with markets seeing very positive price action, says IG's Chris Weston:
- As mentioned before, the market continues to climb the wall of worry and one by one the macro issues holding the bulls back are being priced out.
- Life with Larry Summers at the helm would have potentially been very different from life under Ben Bernanke; it's these uncertainties that keep markets held back. In theory if Larry Summers had got the job, we could easily have seen Janet Yellen step down from the Fed and return to academia, which would have had negative ramifications on the composition of the Fed in Q2 2014, with the board not just losing a key note dove, but also its last voting female.
- This has now changed, and while we know Donald Kohn has been interviewed, if Janet Yellen doesn't get the job there could be an outcry given a large number of Democrats and certainly market participants have been campaigning for her appointment.
- In an ideal world Ben Bernanke would stay on, but the fact that back in June President Obama publically spoke out that Ben Bernanke had stayed on 'a lot longer than he wanted or was supposed to', suggests that probability would be extremely low.
Interesting blog post by Paul Krugman on Larry Summers' exit from the race to lead the Federal Reserve:
It's really, really hard to see how Obama can justify not picking Janet Yellen at this point. Nobody else is as qualified; any other choice would look like spite.
Just a personal reaction: I've known Larry for all our adult lives, and looking at this sad play I realise how lucky I am to have reached a place where I'm no longer in the rat race.
Unleaded petrol prices have risen by 5.6 cents per litre to 155.6 cents a litre in the week to September 15. But the terminal gate (wholesale) price has fallen over 4 cents a litre in the past seven days, pointing to relief ahead, CommSec chief economist Craig James says:
- The easing of the Syrian crisis and the lifting of the Aussie dollar represent a double whammy benefit for Aussie motorists.
- There is further good news today with the Aussie dollar gaining around US1 cent following the withdrawal of Larry Summers as a candidate to become the next Federal Reserve chairman.
- Retailers should be feeling more chipper with confidence levels up and the petrol price set to fall. But while the higher Aussie dollar boosts consumer confidence, it also makes consumers more likely to buy goods online from abroad.
Most markets around the region are higher on news that Larry Summers has dropped from the race to head the US Fed, prompting speculation that the successful candidate will extend the lifetime of super-easy money in the US.
- Japan: closed
- Hong Kong: +1.3%
- Shanghai: -0.25%
- Taiwan: +1.3%
- Korea: +0.6%
- Singapore: +1.6%
- New Zealand: +0.7%
Investors are wagering that US monetary policy will stay easier for longer should the other leading candidate for Fed chair, Janet Yellen, get the job.
Markets had perceived Summers as less wedded to aggressive policies such as quantitative easing and more likely to scale it back quicker than the more dovish Yellen, who is currently second in command at the Fed.
"Short-term interest rates are going to remain at zero for longer than you ever would have imagined," should Yellen get the chair, says Chris Rupkey, chief financial economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ.
It's even possible a first hike will be pushed out into 2016, rather than 2015 as currently planned, he says. Going by Yellen's past speeches, she would likely make getting the jobless rate down a priority.
"Yellen looks like the clear front-runner, and seems to be the public's popular choice," he argues. "The Fed will shoot to lower the unemployment rate to the full employment level and this means the new target could be more 5.5 percent, not 6.5 percent."
Most Australians don't believe they will have enough retirement savings and say superannuation funds are not transparent enough on fees and charges, a survey has found.
The survey - of 1000 working-aged people by the Financial Services Council and ING Direct - found that 48 per cent of respondents did not know the fees they pay for superannuation, but two-thirds believed super funds did not make clear their costs.
According to a recent report by super fund research body Rainmaker, Australians paid a record $18.6 billion in fees to their superannuation fund over the year to June, about four times the amount households paid in bank fees.
The FSC is a lobby group representing funds managers and super funds. ING Direct, best known in Australia for its online-only savings product, now offers superannuation products.
According to the two bodies, the average super balance for women is $112,000; for men it is $198,000. Financial services company Challenger last year tipped that the median Australian balance would reach $200,000 by 2017.
On how much they expected would be needed for retirement, 46 per cent of respondents to the FSC–ING survey said $500,000 would be sufficient, while a further 38 per cent said $1 million or more.
Sixty-two per cent said they did not believe they would have enough for a comfortable retirement.
Insurance comparison website iSelect should have immediately disclosed to the market that it was being probed by the corporate regulator, the peak shareholder body says.
The company told the market today that it was ''corporate policy'' not to comment on communication with the regulator, but said it was fully co-operating with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission's inquiry.
The comments come after a report by BusinessDay revealed the regulator had demanded internal documents from the company following its disastrous stock exchange debut.
''iSelect's corporate policy is not to comment on confidential communications with regulators,'' it told the market.
''However, given today's media coverage regarding a 6 September information request from ASIC, the company considers the existence of ASIC's request to no longer be confidential.''
iSelect shares are down 3.2 per cent at $1.36.
One of the nice euphemisms to have gained prominence over the past two months is "salary packaging"- it actually means "tax minimisation", writes BusinessDay's Michael Pascoe.
Not that there's anything wrong with that, as everyone filling out a tax return will attest. It is wrong though to create the illusion that a tax lurk enjoyed by a minority of citizens is somehow of great benefit to us all. And it's particularly wrong for any government to effectively hand over money to the fortunate tax-minimised few because of political cowardice or naked opportunism. On the motor vehicle "salary packaging" front, governments of both stripe have been guilty of the former while the Coalition enthusiastically embraced the latter in the spirit of the election.
As it turned out, Tony Abbott really didn't need the tax minimisation industry's votes to win and now incoming treasurer Hockey is stuck with endorsing a dud, expensive and inequitable policy in the midst of his alleged "budget crisis". Despite that endorsement, the car statutory method FBT/novated lease lurk is so large and growing that it will have to remain a target on the political horizon for at least a little fine-tuning.
That could be the regulatory risk conceded by McMillan Shakespeare CEO Michael Kay upon breaking his six-week silence. "Regulatory risk is a permanent one," Mr Kay said. "Some people will take the view that regulation risk has increased, some will take the view that it has significantly decreased."
The dollar has retreated from its early morning peaks, which it reached in the initial enthusiasm over Larry Summers' withdrawal as a candidate for the Fed's top job.
But the currency, trading at 93.45 US cents, is still about a cent higher than on Friday, putting it roughly back where it was before the soft local jobs data curbed some enthusiasm for the currency on Thursday.
Paradoxically, today's squeeze higher for the Aussie increases the risks the Reserve Bank will resume its easing policy to offset the impact of a strong currency on the economy.
Markets are only pricing in around 5 basis points of easing on a 12-month horizon. Yet a majority of economists expect an easing by year-end as the RBA looks to stimulate non-resource sectors to replace a peak in the mining boom.
Many analysts suspect that should the Aussie hold above 90 US cents, the RBA could opt to cut again.
"I don't think the Aussie gains are sustainable, it's more positioning adjustments than genuine buying," says a trader at a European bank in Singapore, citing stop-loss buying activity. "The move seems over-done and 92.50 US cents is where it should be," he said.

Pimco, which runs the world's biggest bond fund, says short-term Treasuries will be among the biggest beneficiaries after Lawrence Summers quit the race to head the Federal Reserve.
Fed vice-chair Janet Yellen is now the front-runner for the job when Ben Bernanke's term expires in January, says Mohamed El-Erian, Pimco's chief executive and co-chief investment officer.
''Markets will likely interpret this as significantly increasing the probability of broad policy continuity at the Fed,'' El-Erian wrote in a commentary on the Business Insider website. ''This would be seen as being particularly supportive for the front end of the Treasury curve,'' referring to the spectrum of maturities.
Bill Gross, Pimco's other co-chief investment officer who runs the $US251.1 billion Total Return Fund, wrote on Twitter that 30-year yields should rise relative to those on five-year notes.
Here's one market not on a Summers high: oil prices are falling for a second day amid speculation that the threat of imminent military strikes against Syria has eased as the US pursues a plan to confiscate its chemical weapons.
WTI for October delivery has slid as much as $US1.45 to $US106.76 a barrel, while Brent decreased as much as $US1.45, or 1.3 per cent, to $US110.25 a barrel.
''The market is unwinding the Syria premium,'' says CMC chief market analyst Ric Spooner. News of the U.S.-Russia deal ''is reducing the probability of escalation".
While auction levels rebounded following the weak federal election weekend, auction clearance rates remained elevated, ANZ writes in a note:
- Sydney posted the highest weekly clearance rate at 84% while Melbourne's clearance rate also posted a strong 74% on high auction levels.
- Of the other capital cities, Adelaide posted a strong 62% clearance rate, the seventh straight weekly clearance rate above 60%.
- While this week's strong auction levels partly reflect some rebound from the negative impact of last weekend's election, sustained strong clearance rates and home price gains are expected to support solid sales levels as we move further into the peak spring selling season in the coming weeks.

Westfield's strategy to re-weight its portfolio to dominant malls, with income-generating management fees, has led brokers to upgrade the stock to a buy rating.
Analysts at Moelis say today's deal to sell seven US non-core assets and increase the percentage of earnings from the management business, is sound because it will increase both return on equity and earnings per security (EPS):
- We believe Westfield can again trade on a 4.5 per cent yield. If we take our 2014 distribution per security estimate of 54¢,this implies a share price of $12.00, which is fairly consistent with our 12 month target price of $12.49.
- This would be augmented by long term EPS growth of at least 5-6 per cent, albeit this may be less consistent in the short term as the timing of divestments may not always be matched exactly with the execution of the buy-back and the returns from development investment.
- We upgrade our recommendation from Hold to Buy.
According to John Kim of CLSA, Westfield is looking for recycling opportunities to replenish realised development profits from Westfield Sydney and Stratford, of which he estimates Westfield will book $118 million and $50 million in 2013-14:
- We estimate Westfield will start $8.9 billion developments by 2017, which may provide potential gains of up to $488 million.
- Another source of future profits may be residential developments, as it has approvals for up to 2,622 London apartments adjacent to its existing centres.
Investors are taking the withdrawal on Sunday of former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers as a candidate to head the US Federal Reserve as a green light for risk, betting the bank's next chief will extend an era of easy money that has flooded global markets with cash.
Asian stocks, US stock index futures and Treasury futures are all rallying as a result of the news, and investors and analysts say the gains will likely extend further into the session.
"My first thought was that the markets will rally on this," says Scott Frew, managing partner and owner of Rockingham Capital Advisors. "There's certainly a perception that Yellen is more dovish than Summers."
Yellen has been a forceful advocate of the aggressive steps taken under current chair Ben Bernanke to spur US economic growth, earning her a reputation as a policy "dove" who would tolerate a bit more inflation to drive down unemployment that she deemed too high.
Analysts say a Yellen nomination will boost markets because of that sense of continuing Bernanke's approach.
"I expect not only a rally in stocks but also a decrease in yields, as the Fed remains in the same path Bernanke set" under a Yellen nomination, says Michael Yoshikami, CEO and Founder at Destination Wealth Management.
But Yellen's nomination - and her perceived dovishness - are hardly guaranteed, with other options such as Donald Kohn, Timothy Geithner or Roger Ferguson possibly in the mix.
"The Obama administration has shown little, if any, enthusiasm for Yellen, however, so we're not convinced she will necessarily get the nod," notes Paul Ashworth, chief US economist at Capital Economics in Toronto.
And while we're looking at the local banks: analysts have downgraded their views on two of the nation's big banks to the point where earnings estimates imply final quarter profits shrink, new research says.
According to Deutsche Bank analyst James Freeman, consensus estimates imply NAB's profits will contract 1.6 per cent and Westpac's will shrink 4.3 per cent in the final September quarter.
The consensus for ANZ Bank is a 0.4 per cent lift in earnings in the quarter, Mr Freeman said in a note to clients.
The Commonwealth Bank reports profits its profits over the year to June, while the other big three report on a year to September basis.
Freeman says analysts are forecasting shrinking quarterly profits because they expect an increase in bad debts, but he argues the consensus estimates are too pessimistic:
- This scenario appears too bearish for us. As such, we would expect that should the current benign conditions continue the banks are well placed to exceed earnings expectations at their full year results.
- The final quarter of the year is one the busiest periods for cleaning up banks' assets, which can lead to higher bad debts when credit quality trends are deteriorating.
Here's an interesting yarn by the AFR on Wall Street's latest worry: Australian banks
Major banks' shares have surged this year to record highs, prompting several investors and analysts to speculate they are in bubble territory.
International fund managers and Australian companies attending an investment conference in New York last week were told that some big hedge funds were convinced the major banks were overvalued and would inevitably fall to more normal levels.
"I should warn you I was in London last week and one of the bigger questions I got was 'why the hell are the Australian banks performing so well?'" Bank of America Merrill Lynch chief global equities strategist Michael Hartnett told his bank's conference.
"There are a number of hedge funds that are short the Australian banks right now, trying to play on that demise of the emerging markets."
Mr Hartnett displayed a chart to the audience showing the market capitalisation of the Australian banks has swelled from 2 per cent of the global banking index to 14 per cent over the past decade.
Here are the main winners and losers in the ASX200 this morning:
Winners and losers in the ASX200 this morning.
Rare earths miner Lynas has widened its full year loss but has set the ambitious goal of becoming one of the the world's leading rare earths suppliers.
The company's full year loss grew to $107.4 million for the 12 months to June 30, from $102.6 million.
The company obtained its first pay cheque before the end of the fiscal year: a modest $900,000 for rare earths products but a symbolic first step.
Shares are up 4.2 per cent.
Another asset rising on the Summers decision is gold, which is profiting from the drop in the US dollar.
Spot gold has recovered as much as 0.8 per cent to $US1336.40 an ounce this morning, after plunging 4.7 per cent last week. Gold for December delivery rose 1.6 per cent to $US1329.70 an ounce.
Asian markets are also posting gains in reaction to news that Larry Summers has dropped out of the race to head the US Federal reserve.
While Japanese markets are closed for a holiday, MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan gained 0.5 per cent and South Korea jumped 1.1 per cent.
Summers' surprise decision comes just before the central bank meets on Tuesday and Wednesday to decide when and by how much to scale back its asset purchases from the current pace of $US85 billion a month.
Markets had perceived Summers as less wedded to aggressive policies such as quantitative easing and more likely to scale it back quicker than the more dovish Yellen, who is currently second in command at the Fed.
''It's quite positive for equities,'' says George Boubouras, chief investment officer at Equity Trustees. ''It puts Yellen back on the cards as the favourite. She's more aligned to retaining accommodative policy and not being as brash as Summers might have been.''
Westfield Group will sell seven malls in the US for $US1.6 billion to an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group, the investment firm led by Barry Sternlicht.
Westfield is divesting the malls, which it deems non-core, to redeploy capital to other projects, it said in a statement to the Australian stock exchange. Westfield will retain a 10 per cent interest in the shopping centres, which will be managed by Starwood, it said.
Westfield is exiting lower-quality properties in the USto reinvest in higher-return assets and projects.
The company's shares are up 1 per cent.
And shares are off to the predicted strong start, with investors cheered by the news that Larry Summers, the hawkish candidate for the Fed chairmanship, has decided not to run.
The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index has jumped 41.7 points, or 0.8 per cent, to 5261.3, while the broader All Ords has gained 40.6 points, or 0.8 per cent, to 5255.3, with both indices hitting new five-year highs.
Gains are across the board, with materials rising 1 per cent, financials up 0.7 per cent and gold stocks rallying 3.2 per cent.
Fed vice-chair Janet Yellen might now be the leading candidate to replace Ben Bernanke, but so was Larry Summers until this morning.
There are a few other names being tossed around, including former Treasury secretary Tim Geithner.
Here's an overview of the main candidates.
Leading contender: Janet Yellen, vice chair of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Photo: AP
Some more on Summers pulling out of the race for the Fed's top job and why the move is being cheered by the markets, from Rivkin analyst Tim Radford:
- Janet Yellen is now expected to be the successor of current Fed chair Ben Bernanke. And it's widely believed she will continue Bernanke's pro-growth policies, if not taking a more aggressive stance.
- By Summers pulling out of the race there is now a great deal of certainty over the future of US Federal Reserve monetary policy moving forward.
- Summers was the clear favourite within the White House, given his contribution in guiding the US economy through the global financial crisis under US President Barack Obama.
- But with growing opposition in Congress to the man that has been widely criticised and blamed for helping cause the 08/09 financial crisis due to his influence on deregulating the financial services industry, Summers has essentially been forced to pull out from the race.
Britain's top companies have boosted cash holdings by more than a third in the past five years, opening the door to future acquisitions or bumper shareholder returns, research showed on Monday.
Gross cash holdings of FTSE 100 companies have risen by 42.2 billion pounds ($72.19 billion) since 2008, according to research by Capita Asset Services.
That leaves companies with a collective 166 billion pounds on their balance sheets, which would be enough cash to buy more than 8.5 per cent of the FTSE 100, or more than triple 2013's forecast dividend payout for the index.
While unlikely to be returned to shareholders in one fell swoop, the cash, accumulated and held onto in the fall-out from the financial crisis, could find its way back to productive usage as growth returns to the economy.
Following the crisis in 2008, companies diverted cash usually returned to investors or used for new business investments in order to shore up their balance sheets.
Larry Summers feared an 'acrimonius' process if he went ahead with his bid to replace Bernanke, this coming after three Democrat Senators voiced their opposition to him last week. He is a controversial figure, having supported the deregulation of the banking indutsry while serving as Treasury Secretary under Bill Clinton.
He was also a key economic aide to Barack Obama, who oversaw the administration's response to the economic and financial crisis early in Obama's first term.
He withdrew his candidacy in a letter to Obama.
Out of the race: Larry Summers. Photo: Bloomberg
The market is set to open stronger after the overnight news that Larry Summers has pulled out of the race to replace Ben Bernanke as Fed Reserve chairman.
The news saw the Australian dollar shoot up by over a cent, while Wall Street futures are projecting a gain of up to one per cent, which points to a strong start on the Australian sharemarket this morning. The SPI futures have not been updated, it is pointing to only a 10-point gain.
Here's what you need2know this Monday morning:
- SPI futures up 10 points to 5238.
- AUD fetching 93.42 US cents, 91.99 yen, 69.67 euro cents, 58.36 pence
- On Wall St (Friday), Nasdaq +0.1%, Dow Jones +0.5%, S&P500 +0.3%
- In Europe (Friday), Eurostoxx +0.2%, FTSE100 -0.1%, CAC, +0.2%, DAX 0.2%
- Spot gold up to $US1326.95 an ounce
- Brent oil up to $US111.70 per barrel
- Iron ore fell to $US134.50 per tonne

Lord of the Ringlings
My second comic in an ongoing series for Tor.com, Lord of the Ringlings, is now live. Please click the link to see the entire piece.
After I did this sketch I realized that Gollum needed to be in water, and I also thought it would make sense to tart up the typography in a more circus poster-like manner; you can see the end result on tor.com. I was a complete Tolkein fanatic as a kid, I dug his own illustrations in The Hobbit too, so this one kind of flowed out pretty easily. Here are some beautiful British stamps that were made from some of his Lord of the Rings images, a few are by his son Christopher. The inner geek is alive and well.
Thanks again Irene!
Have a nice Fourth of July everybody.

Hong Kong Artist 'Sellwords' La Sardina DIY Black CameraWhen Sellwords started, it arose from a romantic sentiment. On the 1st of January 2013, Sellwords started to regularly upload their words to social networks and to send to readers.

Saltwater anglers invest a small fortune (and many of us even staggering ones!) in fishing tackle, more specifically in rods and reels. Surprisingly, just a small percentage will go the extra mile and provide the TLC these outfits need to perform flawlessly season after season. Given the price tags on some of the more sophisticated reels and rods, I'm astounded when I see such gear banging against the gunwales of a boat, getting doused with salt water, being washed and stored improperly, or getting spooled up with old and compromised fishing line.
Following is a tackle-care list I adhere to whether I'm crossing to the Bahamas or chasing inshore game fish a couple of miles from the boat ramp. Practice these tips, and you can be confident your tackle will be in perfect shape to handle anything a trophy fish can dish out.
1. Scrub-A-Dub-Dub
The proper way to wash a reel at the end of the day has always made for great debate. That being said, the late Dean Hicks - a former Fort Myers, Florida, tackle-shop and reel repair-center owner - took such a chore personally. Dean O, as he was affectionately called, had cleaned and repaired thousands of reels in his day, and he'd come up with bulletproof techniques for cleaning and caring for reels.
Dean O warned you should never use of any kind of pressure when rinsing reels, like aiming a hose or spray nozzle directly at a reel; this forces salt, sand and dirt into the reel. Instead, he recommended a simple and very light freshwater rinse at the end of each fishing trip. This goes for the rods, guides and reel seats. After rinsing and drying a reel, Dean O applied a light coat of lubricant to the reel and its components. And since many products can break down the properties of fishing line, he had his three favorites: Super Slick Slick Stuff, Reel Magic and CorrosionX. Although with the last, he advised using it sparingly and with great care, as it can damage some reel finishes and rubber seals.
One final tip on rinsing reels: Advance the drags - especially on spinning reels - which will prevent water from seeping into these systems. It's also wise to hold a spinning reel upside down (drag toward the ground) when rinsing, giving water even less of an opportunity to invade the reel. Then, when the reels have been dried and wiped down with a lubricant, back off the drags to store the outfits.

Let's get this out of the way right off the bat: the Suns were the more aggressive team and they deserved to win Game 3. Amare Stoudemire was fantastic because he played more aggressively than he did in Games 1 and 2. The Lakers weren't aggressive against Phoenix's zone and that cost them.
With all that said, though, the free throw disparity in this game was kind of ridiculous. Nobody is saying both teams should get called for the same number of fouls, but the fact that Phoenix shot 42 free throws compared to just 20 for the Lakers is, well, fishy. Stoudemire himself nearly shot more free throws (18) than the entire Lakers team, and while Amare was aggressive driving to the basket, he also got bailed out several times. Or, more accurately, he got foul calls the Lakers didn't get. As SB Nation's Lakers blog Silver Screen and Roll writes:
Between Kobe's hot hand and teamwide success on the offensive glass, the Lake Show appeared to be chugging along, untroubled by life away from Staples, except... well, except for one small thing.
The whistles. Dude, the whistles. The Suns attempted 11 FTAs in the first period to the Lakers' zero. Amare alone was awarded seven freebies in the first period. Most of them seemed fairly earned, as he attacked Pau Gasol on the dribble and got to the rim repeatedly. The Lakers, however, weren't getting the same calls on the other end.
As an impartial observer, I think that's being very diplomatic. Sure, the Lakers have themselves to blame for their inability to get to the line, but while 20 free throws in a game is low, it's not that low. The more abnormal stat was Phoenix's 42 attempts. It seemed like, whenever the Suns drove to the basket, they were given the benefit of the doubt with a foul call. In addition, there were several ticky-tacky loose ball fouls that killed the Lakers in the final period, when they were trying to rally. The stretch began at the 4:32 mark, when Derek Fisher was called for a foul trying to get through an off ball screen, the kind of play that is never called, especially down the stretch of a close game. Then, Kobe Bryant was called for a foul on a rebound when Robin Lopez appeared to slip and fall, giving the Suns the ball back. Finally, after a Lakers miss, Lopez ran over Lamar Odom trying to change ends, and the call went against Odom. That was Odom's sixth foul, taking him out of the game with the Lakers trailing by six.
None of those plays won Phoenix the game, mind you. The Suns won with aggressive play and a zone defense that befuddled the Lakers. But they did contribute to a free-throw disparity that shouldn't have been nearly as wide as it was. I really shouldn't complain, since this means we at least have a series, but I would have liked to see Phoenix win without the benefit of some friendly whistles.

@FGCU_MTEN Sees Undefeated Opening Round At FGCU Fall Invitational
FORT MYERS, Fla. – As day one of the FGCU Fall Invitational drew to a close the FGCU men's tennis team exited the courts boasting a 9-4 record after just two rounds of play in the main singles draws. The Eagles kicked-off their successful ways as they went a perfect 6-0 in the first round of singles play earlier this morning
"Today was a great opening day for the FGCU Invitational," head coach C.J. Weber said. "We started off the day really strong. We went 6-0 in the morning session and just really built up some great momentum after playing great matches. This afternoon we picked up some key wins in the top draw as Jordi and Bao remained alive, and Lance is still in the gold division. The guys fought hard today and competed like crazy so I'm really proud of them."
The tournament began with play in all three of the singles draws where the Eagles soared past six opponents to remain unbeaten.
Picking up a pair of wins in the blue draw were Jordi Vives (Barcelona, Spain/IES Ferran Tallada/USC) and Tianyu Bao (Tianjin, China/Bayshore HS). After falling 0-3 right out of the gate, Bao closed the gap to tie Jonathan Raude of FAU 3-3, before fiercely claiming the first set 7-6 (5). After his dominant comeback Bao continued to control the match as he took the second set 6-2. Vives easily secured his spot in the second round as he defeated Aidian McNulty of Boston College 6-1, 6-2.
Registering three wins in the green draw were Lucas Vaz (Sao Paulo, Brazil/Colegio Fleming/Tulsa), Dean Tsamas (Lexington, Ky./Henry Clay HS) and Gabriel Echeverry (Popayan, Colombia/Gimnasio Calibio). Earning his first singles win of the fall season was Vaz after and intense battle with FAU's Robbie Dubuque, taking the match in straight sets 7-5, 6-4. Earning the Eagles another win was Echevery as he defeated Alexandre Thirouin of BC 6-4, 6-4. The third and final win of the green draw came from Tsamas' thrilling 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 over UCF's Reece Acree.
In the first round of the gold draw Lance Lvovsky (Dania, Fla./Broward Virtual School/Jacksonville) cruised to beautiful 6-2, 6-1 victory over Stefan Burnett of FAU.
The Eagles saw a successful afternoon session as they pulled out three wins in straight sets in the second round of singles action. Highlighting the afternoon was Bao's second-round win over one of Miami's top players Gabriel Flores. After point-for-point play in the first set led to a 7-6 (4) outcome, Bao controlled the second set as he won 6-3. Also staying alive in the blue draw was Vives who took down Ahmed Triki of Barry 6-2, 7-6 (4).
"I think we showed a lot of intensity out there today and represented ourselves well," Tianyu Bao said. "Congrats to Lucas on getting his first singles win as an Eagle, he is getting better every day. Personally I played well today; I was comfortable on the court and was glad I was able to pull away two tough matches. We want to thank everyone who came out to support us today, it was pretty awesome."
In the gold draw Lvovsky picked up the Eagles third straight-set win as he topped Jack Murphy of Miami. In the first set, Lvovsky trailed Murphy 4-5 but was able to hold his opponent and score three unanswered points as he won the set 7-5. The second set remained close but again Lvovsky came out on top earning a 6-4 victory.
Also playing in the gold draw was Chris Perrigan (Tallahassee, Fla./Maclay HS) falling 6-3, 6-1 to Miami's Bernard Tefel.
In the second round of the green draw the Eagles gave their opponents a challenging match, but ultimately fell short. After losing 7-6 (7) in the first set, Tsamas was able to fight of match point multiple times in the second. After his opponent Pete Thomason of Arkansas jumped to an early 5-2 lead, Tsamas put up an hard fight before ultimately falling 7-5.Taking their matches into three sets were Echevery, who fell to UCF's Chris Barrus 6-1, 1-6, 6-1, and Vaz, who was defeated 6-0, 3-6, 6-0 by Miami's Henrique Tuskamoto.
The Eagles will return to tomorrow playing seven singles matches and three doubles matches beginning at 9 a.m.

BCl Recruiting Update: January 27th. Recruits lost to UVA, Harvard. Can BC pillage the wreckage at Rutgers?
According to "a source close to him" Yuri Wright gave his commitment to Colorado. While that doesn't sound promising for RU, it's far from a signed letter of intent. For some reason this feels like it's a report that is just about to be refuted. Let's hope so too for Yuri's and RU's sake. To me, Schiano seems like he's much better suited to turn this guy into a squeaky clean dominant CB, than Colorado. I'll keep my fingers crossed that this changes in Rutgers' favor by next week.

In the 3rd of 4 UFC 162 preliminary card fights slated for the FX broadcast, Northern Ireland's Norman Parke (17-2 MMA, 1-0 UFC) meets Japan's Kazuki Tokudome (12-3-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) in the lightweight division. Believe it or not this is one of only two lightweight fights on the evening, with Edson Barboza/Rafaello Oliveira as the other 155 lbs battle.
This is Parke's first fight since winning TUF: The Smashes, while Tokudome tries to make the most of his US debut. You can catch the UFC 162 preliminary card special on FX starting at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT, and after Joe Rogan and Dana White shout at you for a few minutes you can turn on the PPV main card at 10 PM ET/7 PM PT.
How do these two stack up?
Parke: 26 years old | 5'10" | 70" reach
Tokudome: 26 years old | 5'11" | 73" reach
What have these two done recently?
Parke: W - Colin Fletcher (UD) | W - Stephen Coll (TKO) | W - Marcos Nardini (UD)
Tokudome: W - Cristiano Marcello (UD) | W - Kengo Ura (SUB) | W - Jung Hyun Jo (SUB)
How did these two get here?
Parke has finished all but 1 of his opponents on his way to joining TUF: The Smashes and representing Team UK. He won the show by winning all of his fights by decision, including the tournament final versus Colin Fletcher last December. He was due to face Jon Tuck at UFC on Fox 7 but when Tuck pulled out due to injury it forced Parke's removal from the show as well. Tonight he looks to win his first UFC fight post-TUF and extend his professional winning streak to 8.
Tokudome has spent much of his career in Tokyo, Japan, where he once challenged for the King of Pancrase lightweight title, only to lose by TKO to Isao Kobayashi. He won his next two fights and earned a UFC call against Cristiano Marcello in Saitama, Japan. Tokudome used superior striking to beat Marcello by unanimous decision. Tonight's matchup with Parke marks his first fight in the United States.
Why should you care?
The UFC wants you to care because Parke is a TUF champion, so let's just go with that. Otherwise this isn't a standout fight even as a prelim.

McNerney Votes Against Funding Troops
Proving once again he has no interest in being a "moderate" Democrat, Jerry McNerney has again voted in opposition to supporting our troops in harm's way. He's making a habit of this.
Here's the update just in from the NRCC:
Washington Rep. Jerry McNerney (CA-11) voted last night against fully funding our troops who continue to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan (House Roll Call 431).
"Jerry McNerney has failed to support our men and women who are serving on the front lines providing for our national security," said NRCC spokesman Ken Spain. "There is no excuse for Jerry McNerney's unconscionable vote against this critical funding for our troops. His complete disregard for safety of our troops is disgraceful."
By voting against this troop funding bill, Jerry McNerney also opposed funding for:
Military, Reserve and National Guard personnel
Weapons and Ammunition
Combat vehicles, including armored vehicles for force protection purposes
Defense Health Program, specifically for psychological health and traumatic brain injury
Counterterrorist operations
Jerry McNerney's incomprehensible decision to vote against our troops speaks to the core of his priorities in Congress to deflect his duties to provide for our national security at every turn. McNerney's constituents in California deserve an explanation for his blatant disregard to fund American men and women in uniform.

Patriotic Republicans send our children off to wars so as to give them the opportunity to become heroes for America. Then namby-pamby types like McNerney want to skwuander our tax money on those who return from war mamed and injured. What a wuss! I want my tax money spent on bombs not wounded or unsalvagable vets.

Tunisia has done the seemingly impossible, crushing Angola in the 2011 Afrobasket championship game 67-56. With the win, Tunisia earns a spot in the 2012 London Olympics. Angola will now be forced to qualify via a last-chance tournament in July 2012, at which three bids are up for grabs. Those bids tend to fall into European hands.
The level at which this result is unexpected is astounding. Angola had won every African championship since 1997 (when it took bronze thanks to a semifinal loss to host Senegal), and, excepting that loss, had taken Africa in every tournament since 1989 -- more than two decades of rarely disputed dominance. Before this tournament, Angola hadn't lost a single game in African competition in a decade. (By contrast, this was Tunisia's first championship game since 1965.)
But the signs that Angola was not up to its usual standard came in early, as Senegal took a game off the Angolans in group play. Angola later needed overtime to escape Cameroon and fought a close match with Nigeria in the semifinals. But Tunisia delivered the crushing blow behind 21 points from point guard Marouan Kechrid, who plays professionally in Morocco.
Earlier Sunday, Nigeria beat Cote d'Ivoire to win a bid to the Olympic qualifying tournament. That 12-team field will assemble in July 2012 to decide the final three entrants in the Olympics, which begin July 27, 2012, in London.

An LED basketball scoreboard is the cornerstone for timing and scoring in any school gymnasium or recreation facility. Not only for basketball, these scoreboards can be used for any sport where timing and score keeping are required, such as volleyball, wrestling and floor hockey. Employing the latest LED technology, these durable score boards are manufactured in Canada and are designed to provide years of trouble free, dependable service backed by a five year manufacturer's warranty!
A basic basketball score board displays game time, home and guest scores, and period. It will also have bonus and possession indicators. Intermediate basketball scoreboards also show team fouls, and the number of the player that scored the last foul. For larger facilities, more advanced models such as the BB 5220 will display Time Outs Left (TOLs) as well as individual player statistics: Player numbers, number of Player Fouls and number of individual Player Points.
Note: When not used for game situations, all our basketball scoreboards can function as a Time of Day clock, and are pre-programmed to adjust automatically for daylight savings time.
Great scoreboard for basketball in a small gym with timing, scoring and period information.

JONESBORO, Ark. — After a month of releasing videos, witness interviews, autopsy reports and investigative summaries about the shooting death of a man handcuffed in the back of a patrol car in Jonesboro, Ark., the police department appears to be wrapping up its case.
Both officers present at the July 28 shooting that ended with 21-year-old Chavis Carter slumped over and bleeding in the back of a squad car are back on the streets, one with a written reprimand.

I am in the process of exploring more effecient ways to work as an electrical contractor. I recently started working on a design-build job, and the CAD files were obviously done using Project Navigator (PN). The ZIP folder contained views, constructs, sheets, etc. However, it did not come with the .APJ file. When I requested the file, I got it no problem. However, now that I have it, I apparently have no idea on how to link the files I have to the project file. When I open the Windows Explorer location through PN, it brings me to the correct location and I see the files in Windows, but not in PN.
Am I doing something wrong? I'm sure I missed a step somewhere, but I just can't seem to figure it out.
Solved! Go to Solution.
In order to have the dwg files show up in the project navigator you need to have the individual xml files for EACH dwg. This is how the PN knows that a file belongs in the project. You can either request all of the files or open up in file and save it into your project. If you do not have many files then this is probably the fastest way to go. If you have alot of files then you should request that the file owners also send the xml files with the dwg files.
Thanks for the quick reply.
I believe I tried that by doing the following:
I understand what it's saying, but is there a way to remove the previous link, or to override that link with the new file?
I should have mentioned that before, You will have to move the file out of the directory before trying to add it or you will need to rename it. Another option is to create a blank file and add it to the project. Then open up its xml file and note how it is made including the naming for the division, level, etc. You can then just rename the name of the xml file and add it to the same directory as the original dwg. It will then add the file to the project. The xml file should look something like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<File Name="V-CN-L01-SUSPENDED (US Metric)">
<Description>V-CN-L01-SUSPENDED (US Metric)</Description>
<Cell Level="1" Division="1"/>
I don't usually recommend mucking around with xml files manually but these are simple to create and if you mess one up it won't have any adverse affect on your model other than placing it at the wrong elevation.
Good Luck!
P.S. I created that out of Autocad MEP 2013. You should create one using your software and mimic the version number from your software instead of using the one I showed.
Ahh, that helps it make sense.
So the EASIEST way to do this, regardless of how big or small the job is, would be to obtain these XML files from the creator of the APJ file?
The next best option is to remove any constructs, views, sheets, etc from their respective folder, then add it back in manually.
Yes, the easiest way would be to obtain all of the files from the owner of the project.

CATEGORIES MoviesHoly smokes, Batman!
If your other senses were feeling neglected while streaming the film's entire soundtrack, don't despair -- with only eight days (!) to go, everything's coming up "Dark Knight."
First up: the legitimately terrifying IMAX poster. You may not be able to understand Bane, but, a picture is worth a thousand words. ("Ahh!" counts.)
However, it's not all about Bane in the Gotham. Director Christopher Nolan teased that there might be a Catwoman spin-off in the works.
"She's an incredible character and we're very excited to see her and hopefully we'll leave people wanting more," he told Access Hollywood.
"For me, Gotham and these characters, I'm done. I've told our story and I'm moving on," he continued. "[But] I certainly think she deserves [another chance], she's incredible."
And last but not least: A new clip from the film also hit the web today. Here, Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale) is limping around -- (Caned Crusader!) -- while Morgan Freeman (Lucius Fox) teases a new vehicle he calls "The Bat."
Take a look at the clip above and the poster below. (Who's speaking incomprehensibly now?)
"The Dark Knight Rises," starring Bale, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Freeman, Michael Caine, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard and Gary Oldman, hits theaters July 20.

product works,but..........
By Missy
from Calgary,A.B.
This is a lovely product-but will have to be used more often than recommended, as the effect doesn't last as long as stated.Therefore the bottle won't last as recommended.On the positive side tho,no more "flyaways" & your hair will feel more silky.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

I was amazed at the difference this product made to my hair! I color my hair and this product absolutely maintains the color, wash after wash! This is the only product that got rid of the brassy color from my hair. The bottle is very large and should last a very long time.

Student Experiences
"The MBRS RISE program makes all your hidden career fantasies, become an unforgettable experience!"
- Christophe Arteaga
"I can't stress enough how important programs like MBRS RISE are for minority students such as myself. If it weren't for these programs many of us would never be exposed to research, and therefore hindering us from achieving our full potential as well rounded students."
- Requel Peralta
"Most individuals think about the future with anxiety. Will I be successful? Will I be able to fulfill all my dreams? Will I be able to become the person I am working so hard to become? The MBRS RISE program is an alternative designed for students that instead of wondering rather experience the future. "
- Lina Arencibia
"Before enrolling in the MBRS-RISE program, I was just a normal student with a good academic record. Thanks to the MBRS-RISE program, I graduated from Barry University with more than a good academic record. The program exposed me to research off campus, which helped me to develop new laboratory skills, activities such as poster presentations to enhance communication skills, and a variety of workshops relevant to my academic progress as a researcher. It was through the MBRS-RISE program that I was able to become a stronger candidate for the chemistry PhD program."
- Maria Perez
"I have been a part of an amazing program while being at Barry. The MBRS RISE program has helped me in developing my science skills and has broadened my perspectives of the biomedical world. I will forever be grateful for that experience."

A funny thing happened on the way to see the whales in Alaska. We spent an extra day in Seattle to do a bit of sightseeing and the restaurant where we ate dinner had a gluten-free menu. My salad arrived with small, spherical, delicately crunchy, slightly salty 'croutons'. Best crouton substitutes ever! I decided in that moment that I had to learn to make oven-roasted chickpeas like these!
Such was the beginning of several weeks of experiments in search of those perfect croutons. I should have taken a picture because the only memory retained was the slight saltiness, the pale color, and the delicate crunch. Once back home the search began with home-cooked chickpeas.
Option 1: After several batches of chickpeas, different internet recipes, varying lengths of time in the oven; nada, none of the batches were even close I did not want to give up. Friends sampled them and we agreed – the spicy taste was great but the texture was not, certainly nothing like my memory of those delightful little salad morsels. On the plus side I had plenty of roasted chickpeas saved in the freezer.
Option 2: Fast forward ahead to Sister's Day with Mandie, who recently moved to Austin and much closer to me! I brought over a batch of Roasted Chickpea and Artichoke Salad (inspired by Ricki Heller's Recipe ) for our lunch. As we ate I described the dilemma with the mysterious gluten-free, grain-free crouton. I can laugh now when I think about the scenarios we brainstormed. We even considered soaking chickpeas in a lye solution as in making hominy to achieve the white color!
While we talked Augie Dog was barking louder than we could talk. Mandie banished him to the backyard but since it was blazing hot she threw him in the pool to cool off. If he was still barking when he dried out it was 'back in the pool'! When he quit barking and curled up on the porch he was allowed back inside. He was finally quiet and fell asleep in her arms.
Then Mandie brought out a special treat that she and Eric love – macadamia nuts. These were the treasured CROUTONS! Toasty, tender, delicately crunchy, I bought a POUND of them. After nibbling a handful for several days I sadly realized that these are meant for a not-very-often, once-in-a-while treat. They just don't agree with my system – BOO! HISS! I thought I was done with this kind of disappointment when I gave up gluten!
Option 3: Back to the drawing board and the chickpea obsession rolled on as I remembered an earlier post and thought about the flavors of Falafel (from August 2009!). What if instead of frying falafel patties in a skillet, the olive oil is added to the batter? Then the batter is scooped in to tiny little portions and baked in the oven? Could those be croutons? Out came the recipe and the ingredients.
1 cup (120 grams) garbanzo bean flour
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon cumin, ground
1/4 teaspoon coriander, ground
1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup hot water (not boiling)
You will need a medium sized bowl for mixing, a microwave-safe measuring cup for the liquids, and a flat baking sheet lined with parchment (it makes transferring and cleanup a breeze). I purchase parchment at the grocery store in the aisle featuring foil and waxed paper. Set your oven to 350*F. A small scoop is very handy (I bought mine a year ago to make gluten-free pfeffernusse cookies).
Combine all of the dry ingredients in the bowl and mix together thoroughly, a whisk is good, do not attempt to sift the flour. Mix the lemon juice, olive oil, and water in the measuring cup and heat the mixture in the microwave. Then add the hot liquid all at once to the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Let the mixture rest for 10 minutes.
Using a small scoop or a teaspoon, measure out bits of the falafel dough onto the baking sheet. Move the baking sheet to the oven and bake for about 30 minutes. When they are very pale golden brown turn off the heat and leave them to cool in the oven.
Go start the laundry, walk the dog, or go to a Qigong session. Take the falafels out of the oven after an hour, let them cool to room temperature, and put in a lidded jar. If they are not used up in a few days then label the jar and put it in the freezer. Makes about 36 falafel balls of this size.
My taste testing team at The Caring Place voted these the best yet. They are toasty, crispy, crunchy, and very close to what I was looking for. Maybe round is just too precious? It would be so easy to pat the dough flat with a spatula and cut into 2 inch squares and make falafel crackers.
So why don't I just make croutons from stale, gluten-free bread? I usually make my own gluten-free bread or go without. Homemade gluten-free bread is way too precious to allow it to go stale – leftovers get wrapped and frozen for future reference. These little falafel crisps are so simple and so easy; they are basically chickpea flour, seasonings, and hot water for the dough. Make a batch and you are set for two or three salads.
