Senate committee to consider Graves' nomination
Published: November 16,2010
WASHINGTON — The nomination of Mississippi Supreme Court Justice James E. Graves Jr. to a federal appeals post is scheduled to be considered Thursday by the Senate Judiciary Committee.
Graves was nominated by President Obama in June to the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. The 5th Circuit, based in New Orleans, hears appeals from the federal courts in Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas.
Graves, 56, is currently the only black justice on the state Supreme Court, where he's served since 2001. Before that, he was a Hinds County Circuit Court judge for 10 years.
Last fall, 5th Circuit Judge Rhesa Barksdale took senior status.
If confirmed, Graves would become the second black on the court. The first was Judge Carl Stewart of Shreveport, La.

افلام سكس اسرائيلي The appearance of a werewolf in its animal form varies from culture to culture, though they are also most commonly portrayed as being indistinguishable from ordinary wolves save for the fact that they have also no tail - a trait thought characteristic of witches in animal form - and that they retain human eyes and voice. Within a 2 week period, A company called my husband to see if he was interested in working for them and I received a raise at my job. You will start looking at yourself, you will start looking at your job, you will start looking at business and other people in a far more exciting and valuable light than you ever thought possible.
Some modern researchers have tried to explain the reports of werewolf behaviour with recognised medical conditions. In Earth`s case, its orbit is nearly circular, so that the difference between Earth`s farthest point from the Sun and its closest point is very small. سكس هندي نيك كس This means that the Earth is rushing through space around the Sun at a rate of about 67,000 miles per hour! The time it takes for the Earth to go around the Sun one full time is what we call a year. Involuntary werewolves, on the other hand, are werewolves by an accident of birth or health. The first accounts of these animals date back to as recently as November 5, 2002, when an Aleta boy apparently mistook one of the animals for a floating log, only to become consumed with terror when the beast moved. The methods for analyzing a space and the ``cures`` to correct the problems can vary from esoteric modalities used for centuries to technological solutions of our current timeline. سكس هندي نيك كس

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Penguins make a big splash at zoo
Manitoba, say hello to Sal, Tubbs and Mooshu, three African black-footed penguins who made their debut this morning at the Assiniboine Park zoo.
The HUB Horizon Insurance Penguin Cove exhibit features a rocky habitat with caves and a swimming area for the penguins.
The best part is the viewing area allows visitors to see the penguins both on land and underwater as they dive and swim.
The three male penguins were greeted first by grade four and five students from Laura Secord School.
"I was excited to see the penguins swim, I've never seen a penguin swim before," said River Sawchyn, a grade four student, who brought his digital camera and was taking photos and video. "They did swim so that was fun to see. "
The exhibit will be at the zoo until Sept. 30.
The $125,000 exhibit is located in the former gift shop area by the former front entrance of the zoo. The zoo's main entrance is now the old south gate at 2595 Roblin Boulevard.
It also allows visitors to view interpretive displays and learn about the struggles of penguins in the wild and conservation efforts taking place to assist in their survival.
Tim Sinclair-Smith, the zoo's director of zoological operations, said bringing penguins to Winnipeg's zoo for the first time gives people a chance to see the amazing birds without travelling to learn about them.
The exhibit includes educational displays, including information about the breed and conservation.
"It's extremely important to us to let people know about how animals, like our polar bears and these penguins, are being affected by global warming, climate change and what we are doing as humans."
A fourth penguin named Jelly will be joining the exhibit in June or July after he completes his moult, a process during which penguins shed their feathers once a year.

Al Aryani misses out on medal
UAE shooter placed seventh in 10m Air Rifle at Paralympics
- Image Credit: Courtesy: JABER/UAE Paralympic Team
- The UAE squad at the Paralympics Opening earlier this week.
Dubai: The UAE's Sultan Abdullah Al Aryani missed out on a medal when he came seventh in the final of the men's R1-10m air rifle standard SH1 at the Paralympic Games at the Royal Artillery Barracks in London on Friday.
Al Aryani, who missed out on a spot in the final after finishing ninth at the 2008 Beijing Paralympic Games, fared much better in the preliminary rounds of qualifying yesterday when he faced a shoot-off against China's Dingchao Gou to secure the eighth and last spot in the final contingent.
The 42-year-old from Al Ain had the third best score of 102.8 in the final, but his scores in the six series during the preliminaries did not help as Al Aryani ended in seventh position ahead of Franc Pinter of Slovenia.
Chao Dong of China went on to pick up the gold medal with a score of 103.5 in the final for a total of 699.5 to downgrade world and Paralympic champion Jonas Jakobsson of Sweden to the silver medal.
Germany's Josef Neumaier, who was second entering the final round, had to be content with the bronze after shooting 99.4. But that medal did not come easy as he had to face a shoot-off against South Korea's Seungchul Lee after the two shooters were tied with a total of 693.4.
Obaid Al Dahmani, the second shooter from the UAE who was participating in the same event, was placed 13th with a score of 587 at the end of six series of qualifying rounds earlier yesterday.
The two UAE shooters will be back in action in the nixed R3-10m air rifle prone event at the same venue on Saturday.
Meanwhile, two track-and-field athletes from the UAE were scheduled to make their Paralympic debuts later last night. Eisa Al Jawhari was scheduled to take part in the F57/58 class of the men's discus throw and Mohammad Wahdani was to run in the T54 men's 5,000m.
Also in the fray today (Saturday) will be Sakina Al Baloushi in the F31/32/51 class of women's club throw, Mohammad Wahdani in the T54 men's 100m heats, Mohammad Al Muhairi in the F33/34 men's javelin throw and Maryam Al Matroushi in the F46 women's javelin throw.

An overhaul is on the way for a handful of Queens parks relatively neglected over the course of the last few decades.
Detailing a plan unveiled last month at Bowne Playground in Flushing by Mayor de Blasio, Queens Parks Department Commissioner Dorothy Lewandowski outlined seven borough green spaces that will be revamped as part of the Community Parks Initiative at a meeting of the Borough Board at Borough Hall on Monday.
State Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) is remaining mum on which party he will caucus with in Albany during the next session.
Last February, Avella joined the Independent Democratic Conference, a group of five lawmakers who joined with the minority Republicans to prevent Democrats from leading the Senate and, they said, to stop the logjam in the body. The move angered Queens Democrats, who ran former City Comptroller and Flushing's favorite son John Liu to oppose him in September's primary.
Nov. 4 is Election Day, and while many in Queens may not be all that fired up about it because there are few competitive races here, all who are eligible should cast their ballot.
It's true that many elections in the borough are effectively decided in the primaries because Democrats are so dominant. Many have no Republican opponent. But some do, in both the state Legislature and in Congress, and there are GOP hopefuls in the races for governor, state attorney general and comptroller, contests in which everyone gets to vote. See our election rundown elsewhere in this edition.
There are few things vaguer to New York voters than ballot propositions that are often as hard to understand as they are hard to locate on a ballot. This Election Day one such ballot proposal New York voters will be asked to decide on is a legislatively referred constitutional amendment to create a redistricting commission to establish state legislative and congressional districts.
Redistricting is the once-a-decade process in which the legislative districts are adjusted to reflect shifts in population. In New York, like most states, the Legislature has for years had primary control of the redistricting process and that has resulted in districts that tend to protect incumbents and produce noncompetitive elections.
With Election Day around the corner, residents across Queens are firing up to cast their votes Tuesday.
Statewide elections
In the race for governor, incumbent Democrat Andrew Cuomo is challenged by Republican Rob Astorino, the Westchester County executive.
Democratic state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli faces Republican Robert Antonacci, the Onondaga County comptroller.
Democratic Attorney General Eric Schneiderman is up against John Cahill, former chief of staff to Governor George Pataki.
In 2009, New York enacted a law that mandates the state to translate and print ballots and all other voting materials in Russian, yet many eligible Russian-American voters who don't speak English have been deprived from voting and are forced to return home because the state has never implemented the measure.
The translation rule was enacted in 2009 by former Gov. David Patterson. The state failed to translate voting materials in Russian, the third-most commonly spoken language in New York City, behind Chinese and Spanish, according to the U.S. Census American Community Survey. Officials cited lack of funding as the reason.
Autumn is here and the chill can be felt in the air. The weather has been very sunny and bright, for many days now, but the chill is still there. I just hope that a certain day in October is a warm sunny day.
That day, the 19th, is important for it is the day of our Wonderful Woodhaven Street Festival 2014. From 12 to 6 p.m., on Jamaica Avenue from 80th Street to Woodhaven Boulevard, we will have pony rides and games, antique cars and a variety of vendors with unique products and our great shops. The entertainment will be the great country western music of the Mary Lamont Band with line dancers and instruction and dancing in the streets, rock and mellow music by local bands Plastic Soul, the Solid State Band, Golden Echo, all from Queens. This year again our special feature will be "The Malaysian Lion Dancers." Also appearing will be our veteran Shorinjiryu Kenryukan karate with instructor Myron Lubitsch, who have appeared in our street fairs for over 25 years and are located right on our Jamaica Avenue.
When area residents were invited to a community town hall meeting at the Pomonok-Electchester Public Library on Monday evening to discuss issues of concern, they arrived in droves, filling the makeshift meeting space to beyond capacity and showed little inhibition in letting the elected officials in attendance know their displeasures.
Hosted by Congresswoman Grace Meng (D-Flushing), in conjunction with state Sen.Toby Stavisky (D-Flushing), Assemblyman Michael Simanowitz (D-Flushing) and Councilmember Rory Lancman (D-Hillcrest), who was unable to attend, the event also featured brief presentations by city Comptroller Scott Stringer and several city agencies.
Following a summer hiatus, Community Board 6 held its first monthly meeting of the new session on Sept. 10, highlighted by an introduction to participatory budgeting.
As defined in the presentation by Christina Prince, representing Councilmember Karen Koslowitz (D-Forest Hills), who is spearheading the process in District 29, participatory budgeting is "a democratic process in which community members decide how to spend part of a public budget."
An incumbent and her running mate backed by the Queens Democratic Party emerged victorious from two competitive races for district leader in the 38th Assembly District in the Sept. 9 primary election.
According to unofficial results, incumbent District Leader Eleanor Errante and Angel Vazquez, chief of staff to Assemblyman Mike Miller (D-Woodhaven), both backed by the Queens Democratic Party, won the male and female district leader positions in the 38th Assembly District, represented by Miller.
Major League Soccer can't seem to quit Queens.
The organization, still searching for a permanent home for its expansion New York City Football Club, is eyeing a site in the borough, again.
Saying he had "fallen just short in the voting booth," John Liu conceded the 11th District State Senate race to incumbent Tony Avella on Tuesday morning.
In a letter to his supporters, Liu, a former city councilman and comptroller, said the campaign was about "holding our elected officials' feet to the fire when we as voters put our faith in them and expect that commitments made on the campaign trail are not abandoned in the halls of government."
Saying he had "fallen just short in the voting booth," John Liu conceded the 11th District State Senate primary race to incumbent Tony Avella on Tuesday morning.
Queens Residents Anna Maria Lopez, Frank Toner, center, and James Shadoff all came out to vote in the primary elections.
Independent state Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) held onto his seat, indicted state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Hollis) lost his in a rout and Gov. Cuomo was notified that not everyone in his party is thrilled by his record following Tuesday's Democratic primaries.
In one of the races that garnered the most media attention this year, Avella defeated former city official John Liu 52.2 percent to 47.8 percent to retain his seat in the 11th District in northern and northeastern Queens, according to preliminary results published by media outlets citing the state Board of Elections.
Assemblywoman Marge Markey (D-Maspeth) received a ringing endorsement from her constituents on Tuesday night, as the incumbent legislator resoundingly defeated Dmytro Fedkowskyj in the Democratic primary.
The 73-year-old Markey, who first won election to the state Assembly in 1998, has secured another two-year term in Albany, as she will run unopposed in November's general election.
Leroy Comrie struck a tone of gratitude and graciousness Tuesday night as he defeated beleaguered seven-term state Sen. Malcolm Smith (D-Hollis) in the 14th District Democratic primary.
"The people made a difficult choice; but they chose decisively," Comrie said before throngs of supporters at the Guy R. Brewer Democratic Club. "The people of the 14th District said they wanted a representative they can be proud of, a representative who will get results from Albany."
Though turnout was relatively low as it was an off-year election, many Queens residents did hit the polls to vote in the Sept. 9 Democratic primary and have their voices heard.
"Voting is a right and I exercise it. Religiously," said Regina Jenkins from Hollis. Her mother worked at the polls and raised her to always come out on an election day. Now Jenkins is passing those values down to her children as well.
A Douglaston resident claims his name, address and a signature that is not his were wrongly included in a letter supporting John Liu sent out by the candidate's campaign team last week.
Liu was mounting a primary challenge, which ultimately failed, against state Sen. Tony Avella (D-Bayside) in the 11th District in northern and northeastern Queens. Avella is a maverick member of the Independent Democratic Conference, which joined the Senate Republicans in a power-sharing agreement, and Liu a former city councilman and comptroller who was supported by the Democratic establishment in Queens.
Anticipated to be a nail-biter, the Democratic primary race for state Senate in the 11th District, which covers much of Northeast Queens, did not disappoint.
Shortly after midnight on Tuesday, various sources, including The New York Times and NY 1, indicated that, with 95 percent of the precincts reporting, incumbent Tony Avella led challenger John Liu 52.2 percent to 47.8 percent.

Tuesday is primary day for state elections, and there are several races for the Democratic nomination being held across Queens. This being Queens, the winners are virtually assured of election in November.
The hottest races are those between 14th District State Sen. Malcolm Smith and his two challengers, Leroy Comrie and Munir Avery, in Southeast and Central Queens; and between 11th District State Sen. Tony Avella and John Liu in northern and northeastern Queens. The results could heavily impact how the state Senate operates come January.
Assemblywoman Marge Markey will square off with Democratic primary challenger Dmytro Fedkowskyj on Sept. 9.

Six Nations 2014: Stop playing catch up, it's time to make the running
Stuart Lancaster's side must impose themselves on Scots after two draining comebacks ended in disappointment
Published: 07 February 2014
Updated: 09:49, 07 February 2014
If England really are genuine contenders for next year's Rugby World Cup then victory over Scotland will be achieved with some ease tomorrow.
Having let the match with France slip through their hands last weekend, England must win to keep their Six Nations title hopes alive and another reverse on the shoddy Murrayfield pitch will leave Stuart Lancaster's team as also-rans when they are supposed to be front runners.
It is the nature of the Six Nations that just one week after believing they were about to launch a campaign to make the rest of the sport take notice, England now desperately need a win just to boost confidence in a young squad that made too many errors in Paris, losing 26-24.
Yes, England dragged themselves back from 16-3 down to lead 24-19 with seven minutes to go but, for the second successive match, the energy it took to make up lost ground meant they came up short.
When England allowed New Zealand to come back at Twickenham in November, a match the tourists won 30-22, it could be excused as they were facing the No1 team in the world. France are not in that class which made the disappointment last Saturday harder to bear.
"Our ambition is to win the Championship and we need a big game," said Stuart Lancaster, who was the interim coach two years ago when his regime was launched with a scrappy 13-6 win in this same fixture.
Now, Lancaster is firmly in charge and the demands on the team from supporters are much greater than they were in 2012. "The expectation is totally different this time and if you want to be a successful team like the All Blacks then you have to embrace it and thrive in the expectation," said the head coach, who has named an unchanged team for the first time in his reign.
"I still believe 100 per cent in the direction we are going and there is a really good team in the making. We don't want to be playing catch up as we did against New Zealand and France and we have talked about that this week."
England have repeatedly struggled to deal with the Murrayfield weather and intimidating atmosphere. Since 2004 they have failed to score more than 15 points in each of their four visits which have yielded just one try — a charge down by Charlie Hodgson two years ago.
The parasites that have infested the pitch have forced the Scottish RFU to sign a large cheque for a new Desso system to be installed next season involving a combination of natural grass and plastic woven together.
For now, it constitutes the worst surface in the Championship which says something when venues include the patch-work quilt that is the Stade de France.
England want to put pressure on Scotland's scrum but if the pitch does not allow a solid footing then it will come down to the patience of French referee Jerome Garces whose influence on proceedings could be crucial.
Scotland are experts at getting bodies all over the ball at the break down to delay possession and allow their defence to realign.
In an attempt to shore up weak areas exposed by Ireland last Sunday, head coach Scott Johnson has made three changes from the team who lost 28-6.
The most striking sees captain Kelly Brown dropped and replaced by debutant Chris Fusaro, of Glasgow Warriors, at open-side flanker. Elsewhere, Tommy Seymour takes over on the wing from the injured Sean Maitland and Matt Scott replaces Duncan Taylor in the centre.
"We are all looking forward hugely to the match," said Johnson. "You want the rivalry that exists. It's intense and great to be part of."
The Scots have to drag England into yet another arm-wrestle and it will be a measure of how far the side have come under Lancaster if they can impose their will on the match.
Hooker Dylan Hartley is one of just four England players to have faced Scotland at Murrayfield and he has great respect for the big men in dark blue — headed by lock Jim Hamilton, who is a walking argument.
This match will test English patience, confidence and technical skills and if they emerge victorious then it will provide the momentum the team need to mount a sustained challenge for the title with home games against Ireland and Wales to come.
It is time for Lancaster's men to prove they really are potential world champions.

Cusack set to play Poe in look at author's last days
Monday 30 August 2010
The role of Edgar Allan Poe in the upcoming thriller,
The Raven, will be played by John Cusack (
Hot Tub Time Machine) who announced it on Twitter, stating: "Send any poe-gold my way as i begin this journey into the abyss" (
The story follows a serial killer inspired by the author's dark tales for his crimes. Set during the last five days of Poe's life, the writer teams up with a detective to find the murderer.
The director is James McTeigue ( V for Vendetta) who is on the shortlist to possibly direct a redo of The Fantastic Four, up against Joe Carnahan ( The A-Team) and David Yates ( Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix).
Michael Sheen, Jeremy Renner and Ewan McGregor were previously considered for the project. Production is scheduled for late fall in Serbia.
Cusack will star in the upcoming thriller Shanghai with Ken Watanabe ( Inception) and directed by Mikael Hafstom.

ProQuest Information and Learning has acquired Nineteenth Century Short-Title Catalogue List (NSTC), a bibliographic database that catalogs the 19th-century holdings of eight of the world's research libraries. The libraries include: The British Library, the Bodleian Library (Oxford), the Cambridge University Library, Trinity College Dublin, the National Library of Scotland, the Newcastle University Library, plus holdings from 1816 to 1919 of the Harvard University Library and the Library of Congress. NSTC was formerly owned and maintained by ABC-CLIO, who moved NSTC from multiple CD-ROMs and integrated them to make them searchable across the series on the Web. ProQuest Information and Learning, a unit of ProQuest Company, creates and publishes databases for libraries and educational institutions worldwide.
NSTC includes bibliographic records of well-known and obscure works of literature, important translations, legal documents, political pamphlets, medical and scientific monographs, journals, and periodicals. Records for more than 1.2 million titles published in the United Kingdom and the United States between 1801 and 1919 are included. NSTC was originally developed by Avero Publications, beginning in 1983 and completed in 2002. It is now available from ProQuest, and in the coming months, NSTC will be upgraded for delivery through a new Chadwyck-Healey interface. ProQuest will maintain and update the catalog's content.
ProQuest has previously developed Early English Books Online, a Web-based, full-page image database of all books printed in English dating from 1473 to 1700. The bases of that collection were The Short-Title Catalogue (Pollard & Redgrave, 1473-1640) and The Short-Title Catalogue II (Wing, 1641-1700). ProQuest collaborated with the academic community to produce Early English Books Online, most notably with the formation of the Text Creation Partnership, which has undertaken the creation of structured SGML/XML text editions for a significant portion of the collection. ProQuest has already digitized a significant volume of 19th-century publications within collections such as Literature Online, the Gerritsen Collection, American Periodicals Collection Online, and PCI Full Text and has extensive microform holdings, including its Nineteenth Century General Collection published in cooperation with the British Library.

New labour laws could create up to 2.3 million new Spanish jobs
The Spanish government has stated how new labour reforms may be able to create up to 2.37 million permanent jobs by the end of 2011. In the financial report it has been estimated that 895,723 permanent contracts could be signed by the close of 2010, with a further 1,474,497 the following year.
Certain elements aare expected to cost the government almost 700 million euros by the end of 2012. This mainly comprises of the Wage Guarantee Fund of eight days compensation, if and when the permanent contract is dismissed. The estimated cost for this is expected to be 123.6 million euro.
The report goes on to state how 212.88 million euros would be the cost for subsidies to hire jobless people aged over 45 and 53.58 million euros is estimated to be the cost for converting training, replacement or substitution of permanent contracts over a period of three years.
A additional 80.54 million euro is estimated to be spent on exemption from contributions to social security in training contracts.
Some observers disagree with the financial content of the report, with a number of economists, businessmen, unionists and lawyers who believe that the reform will not assist in creating short term employment.

When cancer victims and survivors are honored this year at the Relay for Life, the tribute will be paid in the intimate, historical setting of downtown North Platte.
The Relay for Life will begin at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 2. Dewey and East Fifth streets will be closed. Several of the stores will be open. Kids games and live music will held on the streets and luminary candles will line the curbs.
"We think it will be a more comfortable, intimate setting," said Gracie Alexander of the organizing committee. "We approached the downtown merchants about the idea, and they said, 'Oh yeah.'"
"This is the heart of the community, and we want that vibe with the relay," Alexander said.
Twenty-four teams are registered and $36,000 is donated, Chairwoman Megan Duckworth said.
The annual paint-the-town-purple week of preparations began Saturday, July 26 -- the start of the biggest fundraising week for the relay. A kickoff dinner for survivors and caregivers was held Saturday at 6 p.m. at Calvary Baptist Church.
The goal is to raise $64,000 for the American Cancer Society.
Alexander said there will be a kids' movie, face painting and kids carnival games too.
Musicians who will perform include Tynelle Jarvis, Brad Godfrey, Jonathan Rosenberg and the Flatrock Irregulars.
The relay will end at 2 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 3.

Sterling Financial raises $730 million in capital
Spokane bank goes back to hedge funds and institutional investors to raise more money under orders of federal regulators.
Seattle Times business reporter
The parent company of Sterling Savings Bank announced Friday it had raised $730 million from private equity and institutional investors, a milestone that helps the state's second-largest bank avoid being seized by regulators and sold to the highest bidder.
In a regulatory filing, Spokane-based Sterling Financial said it had reached agreements with 30 investors for $388 million through a private placement.
Thomas H. Lee Partners and Warburg Pincus Private Equity X also increased their investments in Sterling Financial to $170 million each in exchange for stock and warrants. Each firm will control 22.6 percent of the company's common stock and get a seat on Sterling's board. The transaction is expected to close Thursday, when it will become the largest recapitalization of a Washington state bank since the financial crisis began in 2008.
"It dramatically increases their chances of survival," said Jeff Rulis, a banking analyst for D.A. Davidson in Lake Oswego, Ore. "Coming from the edge of the abyss, I'd imagine they'd be prudent with extending that credit."
Sterling Financial has been operating under increased regulatory scrutiny for the last year. In the first six months of this year, its net loss was $138.1 million.
Shares of Sterling stock closed unchanged Friday at 64 cents. It has traded as high as $2.98 a share in the last year.
Friday's announcement ends the bank's quest to reel in enough capital to meet regulatory requirements. The Treasury Department had committed to convert its $303 million investment of preferred stock through the TARP program into common shares, contingent on Sterling finding more investors. Essentially, Treasury is accepting 20 cents on the dollar for its investment in Sterling, Rulis said.
The upshot: Sterling said it will issue 4.2 billion shares of common stock, up from 52 million shares outstanding.
Les Biller, former vice chairman and chief operating officer of Wells Fargo, will become chairman of the board, and Managing Director David Coulter of Warburg Pincus and Managing Director Scott Jaeckel of Lee Partners will become directors.
Sterling, with $9.74 billion in assets, absorbed its subsidiary Golf Savings Bank earlier this month. Golf Savings was the third-largest mortgage originator in Washington state.
Going forward, Sterling will limit its construction and real-estate lending, and focus on consumer banking and lending to small and medium businesses, said Ezra Eckhardt, president and chief operating officer of Sterling Savings Bank.
"Our organization will be able to return to a position of strength and be able to grow and meet the needs and expectations of customers," Eckhardt said.
Regulators on Friday shut down two Florida banks and one in Virginia, lifting to 113 the number of U.S. bank failures this year. Eight banks in Washington state have failed this year.

Market Data
The New Zealand dollar was up against the greenback today, ahead of the two day Federal Open Markets Committee meeting that starts tomorrow morning our time.
The kiwi recently traded at US81.08c, up from US80.97c in the morning.
On the Trade Weighted Index against major trading partners' currencies it was at 72.90, up from 72.88.
ASB Institutional head of Institutional FX sales Tim Kelleher said the range the kiwi traded in did not show a great deal of activity today, but the currency started to rally again on the crosses against the Australian dollar.
It recently traded at 77.26 Australian cents, up from A76.98c in the morning.
"On the day today the kiwi held up with a bit of selling on the aussie, probably because of talks in the commodity market of Rio Tinto laying off staff in Australia.
"There are still offshore buyers though, so there will be demand regardless of dips if the commodity story continues," Kelleher said.
"The bigger focus tomorrow morning is the Federal Open Markets Committee meeting at 6.15am our time. The market is hoping the US will come out with more quantitative easing, but a lot of it is priced in already.
"It is really hard to call if it will have any real effect, we may just see some profit taking."
On the crosses, the kiwi was at 63.27 Japanese yen, down slightly from 63.29 yen earlier.
The kiwi was at 65.93 euro cents, up from 65.77 euro cents earlier. It rose to 51.75 pence, up from 51.63 pence earlier.
Kelleher said that up until the Federal Open Markets Committee meeting in New York, the kiwi could trade between US80.75c and US81.30c then it would be "a lottery" depending on the outcome.

GLAAD Study Finds Record Number of LGBT Characters on Broadcast TV
"Glee" and "True Blood" found to be the most inclusive shows on broadcast and cable, respectively, as the number of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender characters on cable also increases.
After a year of decline, the number of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender on broadcast television has increased to the highest level ever recorded, according to a new study from watchdog group GLAAD.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation's 17th annual "Where We are on TV" report has found that the number of regular LGBT characters on broadcast networks has hit a record. Fox's Glee was found to have the most inclusive show on broadcast, with six recurring characters (Kurt, Blaine, Santana, Brittany, Sebastian and Unique).
STORY: CBS, History, TBS Receive Failing Grade on GLAAD's Network Responsibility Index
LGBT characters account for 4.4 percent of scripted series regulars for the 2012-13 broadcast schedule, up from 2.9 percent in 2011 and 3.9 percent in 2010.
Cable networks, too, also increased also increased representation of LGBT characters with HBO's True Blood leading the way which with its six characters. On the scripted cable side, regular LGBT characters rose to 35, up from 29 for the 2012-13 season.
"This year's increase of LGBT characters on television reflects a cultural change in the way gay and lesbian people are seen in our society," GLAAD president Herndon Graddick said. "More and more Americans have come to accept their LGBT family members, friends, co-workers and peers, and as audiences tune into their favorite programs, they expect to see the same diversity of people they encounter in their daily lives."
PHOTOS: GLAAD Media Awards Red Carpet Arrivals
GLAAD reviewed 97 scripted TV offerings across ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and the CW and counted a total of 701 series regulars, with 31 of those LGBT characters and another 19 recurring. ABC led the networks with 5.2 percent (10 out of 194), topping last year's leader, Fox, which ranked second with six out of 118. The CW remained even with four out of 81, with NBC featuring seven out of 166. CBS, despite adding gay-themed comedy Partners this season, improved to feature four out of 142 characters, jumping from 0.7 percent last year to 2.8 percent.
On cable, Showtime featured the highest number of LGBT characters with 12, including seven series regulars. HBO followed with nine, FX (eight), Adult Swim (five) and ABC Family, MTV, Syfy and Teen Nick with four each.
The full report can be found on GLAAD's site.

That's reported by paidContent.org which notes that since joining Discovery from NBC Universal in 2007, the company's been incredibly pleased with his work—cutting costs, adding programming, increasing sales, and partnering with Oprah Winfrey.

Sony Xperia Z Beast Coming Soon in Hopes of Beating the iPhone 6 and Galaxy Note 4: What to Expect
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Precious Silva | August 31, 2014 12:43 PM EST
In the smartphone industry, expectations are high again. Anticipation regarding the releases of new flagship smartphone models is on the rise again, especially now that Samsung has announced its September launch of its new Galaxy Note 4. Sony is trailing behind with an announcement of its own.
A receptionist speaks on a phone under a Sony Corp logo at the company's headquarters in Tokyo, in this file picture taken February 6, 2014. Sponsors Adidas, Sony, Visa and Coca-Cola on June 8, 2014 called on soccer's rulers to deal thoroughly with allegations of bribery to secure the 2022 World Cup for Qatar, an issue overshadowing this week's kickoff in Brazil.
Tech News has been filled with stories regarding the rivalry between Apple and Samsung. But this time, a third, but not really new player, is about to release some headlines of its own. Sony, also an electronics giant, sent invites to their press conference in IFA 2014 for the unveiling of a new product. Although they never mentioned any particular product, discussion has it that they are expected to go head to head with Samsung and Apple with their Sony Xperia Z3 (the Xperia Z Beast).
Reuters reported that the Z3 may be making headway to the U.S., ahead of the Galaxy Note 4 introduction. BGR reports that Sony may be making its announcement during the IFA on September 3 as well.The Xperia Series, though not as popular yet compared to its Samsung rival, is trying to gain momentum by possibly going for a more unique, impressive design and more ultra low-light sensitivity camera sensor.
The Xperia Series is also known as a smart adventurer's smartphone due to its reliability in toughness. It is also dustproof and waterproof. Both adjectives are "must-have's" for thrill-seekers. Both the Xperia Z1 and Z2 received IP58 certifications, after the majority gave it a two-thumbs up response. Following the footsteps of its predecessors, the Xperia Z3 will undoubtedly become even more of a beast with its toughness and resilience.
On pricing matters, the Sony Xperia Z3 is expected to be lined up among the high-end range phones of Apple and Samsung. However, the price is expected to be lower than that of the iPhone 6.
The smartphone battles continue to ensue. When all the new flagship models are released, the public will soon find out who the leader will be.
