Gillard scores win with Beijing accord
PUBLISHED: 09 Apr 2013 20:09:00 | UPDATED: 10 Apr 2013 08:18:00PUBLISHED: 10 Apr 2013 PRINT EDITION: 10 Apr 2013Prime Minister Julia Gillard visiting Chenjinglun High School in Beijing. Ms Gillard said the elevation of the relationship with China was "justified by the times". Photo: Luke Marsden
Angus Grigg AFR correspondent
Australia has formally elevated its relationship with China to a notch below the United States, after Prime Minister Julia Gillard claimed a rare foreign policy victory by forging a "strategic partnership" with Beijing.
Ms Gillard, who has often been criticised for neglecting ties with Australia's biggest trading partner, signed the agreement with Chinese Premier Li Keqiang on Tuesday.
It will lock in an annual meeting between the Australian Prime Minister and the Chinese Premier, along with meetings involving the Foreign Minister, Trade Minister and Treasurer.
In a speech prior to the official signing, Ms Gillard said the elevation of the relationship with China was "justified by the times".
"The relationship will be described as a strategic partnership to reflect the importance both countries place on it," she said in a separate statement.
Official launch of regular talks
After a ceremonial welcome including a marching band and military honour guard, Ms Gillard and Mr Li held a one-hour meeting. "This can be regarded as the official launch of our annual regular talks," Mr Li said.
China has strategic partnerships with Russia, Germany and Great Britain and a similar arrangement with the US.
Australia's deal with China has been nearly a decade in the making and was first raised in the final years of the Howard government.
At that time, Australia was concerned about the signal it would send to Japan and a lesser degree the US.
Australia again toyed with the idea after former prime minister Kevin Rudd came to power, but baulked after China's violent crackdown on the Tibetan riots in 2008 and a tough approach to anti-Chinese sentiment during the Olympic torch relay.
"It's about saying to China, we are not just in this for the money," said former diplomat Richard Rigby, director of the China Institute at the Australian National University. "It puts China right at the centre of a small number of major relationships that Australia has, including the United States."
Signature foreign policy achievement
Wang Zhenyu, an associate research fellow at the China Institute of International Studies, said the deal would help Australia move into its "Asian Century" and would ensure stable development of the economic relationship.
He said it showed a "page had been turned" since the diplomatic fallout after the jailing in China of Rio Tinto iron ore executive Stern Hu.
The deal aims to elevate the strategic and political relationship to a level approaching economic ties, which have seen a tenfold increase in trade over the past decade.
But it will not involve an alternate set of meetings in Australia and China each year as part of the deal. Along with the leaders meeting, the Treasurer and Trade Minister will meet annually with the chairman of the National Development and Reform Commission, China's top economic planning agency.
Australia's Foreign Minister will also meet annually with his Chinese counterpart, who is China's second-ranked official in this portfolio.
At present, a state councillor (cabinet member) with responsibility for foreign affairs is the top-ranked office in this area. This is thought to have been a sticking point during negotiations.
The strategic partnership is likely to be the signature foreign policy achievement of Ms Gillard's prime ministership, which, if polls are correct, will end after September's federal election.
Ms Gillard is known to have first raised the proposal during a meeting with former President Hu Jintao last April and in a phone call in March when Mr Li officially became Premier.
Executive director of the China Studies Centre at Sydney University, Kerry Brown, said if properly utilised and managed, the agreement should allow both sides to talk about contentious issues and achieve outcomes.
"This is a very good outcome for the Prime Minister," he said.

With experimental masses updated from AME11, the predictive power of relativistic mean-field (RMF) mass model is carefully examined and compared with HFB-17, FRDM, WS*, and DZ28 mass models. In the relativistic mean-field model, the calculation with the PC-PK1 has improved significantly in describing masses compared to the TMA, especially for the neutron-deficient nuclei. The corresponding rms deviation with respect to the known masses falls to 1.4 MeV. Furthermore, it is found that the RMF mass model better describes the nuclei with large deformations. The rms deviation for nuclei with the absolute value of quadrupole deformation parameter greater than 0.25 falls to 0.93, crossing the 1 MeV accuracy threshold for the PC-PK1, which may indicate the new model is more suitable for those largely-deformed nuclei. In addition, the necessity of new high-precision experimental data to evaluate and develop the nuclear mass models is emphasized as well.

Microsoft issues temporary fix for malware via image security issue
Posted By Denise On November 6, 2013 @ 9:38 AM In Windows | No Comments
Windows has been exploited thanks to a group of hackers finding a vulnerability. Finally, Microsoft has developed a way to plug the hole, so to speak, and keep hackers from installing malware on computers running the affected version of Windows and Office.
The vulnerability, which we covered already [2], is related to how some Microsoft products and versions of Windows read TIFF image files.
Microsoft hasn't come up with a permanent fix, yet, but they have found a temporary solution. The fix [3] can be downloaded to your computer and it keeps the graphic from being rendered. The graphic is what triggers the malware. Other options available is a registry change that prevents TIFFs from being displayed and the Enhanced Mitigation Experience Toolkit [4] to block the potentially dangerous download.
Microsoft has issued several advisories warning their users about this vulnerability. They are currently working on a permanent fix and will issue it as soon as it is available.

The following is a brief excerpt from the newest e-book from Renegade Training™, " More than a Game". "More than a Game" is an in-depth look at Hockey Training for intensely dedicated players. Encompassing nearly 300 pages, this book reveals the proper dry-land training methods for the world's fastest game. The book is available immediately at www.renegadetraining.com/more_than_a_game.html The following section pertains to Medicine Ball training and specific use of restorative circuits. It is applicable to virtually any individual involved in fitness, health or athletic based training. Medicine ball training is one of the most effective training mediums available. It allows for a free range of motion, is easily adaptable to athletes of all abilities, can be used for explosive power training as well as general recovery and fitness work, and is highly affordable and transportable. No training program would be complete without Medicine Ball work . As a training medium, Medicine balls are one of the most versatile of all items. It allows for simple adherence to the Renegade Concepts of Training™ and one of the few items definitely required within Renegade Training™. It is a safe, affordable resistance medium for users with a variety of goals and athletic abilities. The benefits of medicine ball training are enormous and extend to every component of the Renegade Wheel of Conditioning™. Med ball work equally allows for all three planes of movement in the body, unlike many other pieces of equipment. With all these factors in mind, it is an absolute must for Hockey dry-land training. Med ball training could be loosely categorized within four major areas:
Certainly the first two sections are very closely related to one another. My consideration for distinguishing the two relates to the varying planes of motion and the concern of dynamic flexibility within the torso, which is of course a highly important sport-specific function. With the progression of physical abilities to advanced levels, the concept of being able to stabilize within destabilized environments is displayed as the user is able to perform these circuits in imperfect environments, the most extreme being on an Indo Board, thus displaying an increased awareness of the body in handling diverse functions simultaneously and in tactile response. This is only in advanced levels where intense harmony of hands to feet, shoulders to hips, elbows to knees are displayed with the duality of mind and body unity and thus limited exclusively to highly advanced athletes. Once this occurs, the imperfect or chaotic environment has been adapted to and evolves to a perfectly calm setting. With a heightened level of intensity, whether in the form of the weight of the ball or the force of the throw in return similar exercises can be used for point 3, introductory explosive training. Renegade Training™ coaching tip Through the first use of med ball training, the following 2 circuits are performed to assist in generalized muscular recovery (generally speaking on Tuesday / Thursday and Saturday, opposite to major "lift" days of Monday / Wednesday and Friday). Ensure work is done with proper technique, perfect posture and never reinforce bad habits. Utilize a light 5-8 lb med ball and err on the side of caution. Each movement is performed with 5-10 throws per exercise depending on levels of fitness, generally within 24 hours before and after an intensive day of exercise. Circuit B is optionally performed in conjunction with other weighted movements that emphasize core development such as Overhead Squats and Split Jerks. Please note not only should circuit B be done in a manner to assist recovery and regeneration but in a highly explosive manner to promote vicious turning power. Medicine Ball Circuit A Please note these are presented as restorative circuits and should be performed with a modestly light medicine ball, reflective of strength levels. Typically I suggest a four to eight pound med ball. Additionally these exercises can be highly explosive and such as in this case, you'll want to use a heavier med-ball like the one used in the photos which is 20lbs.

New Dishwasher in Less Than 2 Weeks
Thinking about getting my new DW today, as I went through the day. I'm prepared to put unrinsed (but scraped) dishes into the dishwasher and let it do the work for me. Today I made a cake and put the bowl, with a fair amount of batter into the sink and let it soak for a few minutes before I rinsed it thoroughly and put it in the DW--and later did the same with the bowl in which I made the frosting. So, if I had the new DW today,what would I do? Would I still soak the bowls? Would I scrape them more fully, without rinsing, and then put in DW? Or would I put them in, dripping with batter or frosting as-is?
At dinner, i sauted some mushrooms over high heat, which resulted in a couple brown spots on the bottom of my frying pan, as a result of a combination of a little bit of oil and high heat. I know the new DW wouldn't get that off ,as I have to scrub it with a stainless steel scrubber (Norwex). So, in that case, i suppose I would riksent out and scrub away the brown spots before putting in the DW?
It seems ridiculous to have to ask these questions, but this will be the first time I will have a DW that doesn't require extensive pre-rinsing (current DW is >20 years old).
I hate to admit it, but I have put the dripping cake batter and frosting bowls in the DW at one time or another--usually when my little guy tells me at 9pm he volunteered us to bring cupcakes to school the next day for some event or other and I'm exhausted and looking for the easiest path to get through the task. They have come out sparkling. With that being said, I do scrape before loading and only rinse really sticky things like egg yolk or oatmeal/cream of wheat. And then it is truly just a rinse of water--not a full on washing of the item before loading. I learned the hard way that the new DW detergent formulations can ruin pots/pans so I don't put mine in anymore. However, the example you gave of the saute pan would need more attention than most DWs in my experience can provide to come completely clean.
Hope this helps!
Yes, thank you. I felt a little foolish even posting this, so I appreciate that you took the question seriously and responded. It seems like the answers should be common sense, but i'm still adjusting to the idea of having a DW that doesn't require extensive pre-rinsing (or, as DH calls it, pre-washing).
No "modern" dishwasher requires prerinsing the items unless maybe if it's a really low-end unit with a poor filter design.
The only dishwasher I've had that was a bad performer was an early 1980s builder-grade machine that was in the first house I bought. It had only a rudimentary filter, if even that. I was accustomed to the 1975 KitchenAid that my familiy had, we didn't rinse anything. I tossed the unit out after the first time running a skillet with some bits of Hamburger Helper remains and beef particles were left showered over everything.
These items have been sitting in my dishwasher for almost two days (since Friday evening), and they'll come out perfectly clean, guaranteed. I'm sure your new unit can easily handle them.
I throw everything but most pots and pans in the dishwasher with scraping and not pre-rinsing*, and have done so in several apartments with cheapo dishwashers. Everything comes out fine.
* I do rinse flatware with cream cheese on it. And I don't throw bowls or tools with yeast flour dough on them in the dishwasher.
I rinse nothing before placing it in my new DW. It is generally not advisable to wash any nonstick cookware in a DW. Also, I would be more apt to wash frying pans by hand, depending on how 'greased up' they were.
I can never figure out how to post 2 pictures at once on a post, so I'll post before and after pics (probably in 2 separate posts) of a baked on, crusted on peach cobbler baking dish mess that I scraped but did not rinse or soak before putting into the DW. I actually laughed before I put the baking dish in. Oh...and it also sat in the DW for 2 days before I ran the load.
I throw everything in as is - if it come clean - perfect - if any residue, it is easy to fix - but most everything comes out great.
Dripping cake batter bowls, pans, baking dishes (My favorite thing to throw into the DW so I don't have to deal with wet soggy crumbs - yuck!),
There are differences in DW - so each brand will clean differently and the DW makes a difference as well.
Brown spots from overcooking - no problem!
Have fun!
Cake batter is nothing - stainless steel pans might require some work, though. Otherwise... just toss it all in!

Wow, thanks everyone. It will be truly weird the first few times I load the DW, but I'm determined to get its full value outof it. Can't wait to give it a try. The photos are especially inspiring. It's almost hard to believe those can come clean in the DW, but I believe you.
I was afraid this post might be dismissed as a stupid question, so I really appreciate your taking the time to answer and "spell it out" for me.
Last week I ran a 13"x9" glass dish similar to what KarenLee56 shows above (but mine doesn't have the blue decoration). Seasoned chicken breasts (sundried-tomato) had been baked in it. The dish sat for several days, loaded as-is without scraping, including burned crusties and a layer of grease. Came out clean like new. Sorry, I don't have pics.
Fascinating. I've never had a DW that could do anything like what's described above. If I put a glass pan like Karenlee's in there would be gross residue left everywhere when I came out. And I can't even tell you what a nightmare I'd find in the DW full of Dadoes dishes after it ran. Why can't any DW I've owned do that? I'm not sure there is an answer, but I'm profoundly stumped as to why that is every time I read a post here about how DW are supposed to clean dirty pans. Scraping had never been enough for me.
My current almost 4-year old Kenmore cleaned a little better than now when we first owned it. My glasses (even those that just had water in them) come out with a greasy film all over now. Or maybe I just didn't notice it when we first bought it. Next year I plan to look for a Miele floor model, and I'm hoping I get as good a result as those pictured above!
Breezy, That's where I was coming from when I asked the question. I tried washing dishes without thoroughly pre-rinsing only once, under duress. My dishes were nothing like the examples here. Anything that was heavily soiled I did rinse. But glasses and dinner plates were just scraped (very well) or emptied out and put in the DW. Then the DW was run immediately. Terrible results---had to carefully inspect each item before putting it away. Most didn't pass inspection and, since they had been through the dry cycle, they had to be scrubbed by hand and put back through the DW.
What about peanut butter? Once a week my child makes a peanut butter sandwich and throws the knife, with a generous amount of peanut butter remaining on the blade, into the sink. Do I really just put that in the DW as is? Yuck--I think I'd at least wipe off the excess. But, if I didn't, should it come clean?
Breezy and sailaway: It is only fair to say that many dishwashers out there don't do half the job that they are supposed to or expected to do, especially for the money spent. Read some of my posts about my expensive GE profile dishwasher that I finally gave up fighting with after little over two years of disappointments. I didn't actually rinse everything all the time, but there was a period of time when I thought that was the answer. It was designed poorly, probably didn't have the right water pressure, and just rarely cleaned the right way. I ALWAYS had to check each piece when I took it out, and I also had to inspect every glass and every piece of silverware. Many times I rewashed much of the load by hand. I truly couldn't take it anymore. I came to learn that over all, the domestic brands leave a lot to be desired.
On the opposite end, many of the Bosch, KitchenAid, and Meile DW's give the kind of results that we expect- and then some! I can't speak for Jenn-air because I've never even heard of a Jenn-air DW. Any amount of peanut butter should be fine in any dishwasher because it melts. Almost anything at all should be able to be put in a dishwasher with very little scraping and definitely no rinsing, or in many cases no scraping either. I truly do laugh at some of the things I put into my Meile, and then see the perfect results that I get. Items should not be rinsed before being put into the dishwasher because the enzymes found in most detergents need the food particles in order to work effectively. If there is no food waste to break down, apparently the enzymes have nothing to stick to and end up etching the glassware and dishes instead.
I guess if the dishwasher is not all that great, then you really need to be cognizant of which detergent you are using. Many people here like the Finish Quantum tabs, while others like the Smarty tabs. Everything in between has also been used in this forum. I had tried quite a few different brands of dishwashing detergents in my ill-fated GE DW, and by trial and error, I learned that Cascade Complete tabs worked the best. I should not have had to try many different detergents, however. That was ludicrous!
Sailaway, I do hope that once you start using that new DW, you will be posting your own miraculous pictures! :)
The pictures here are NOTHING compared to some of the stuff I've run through my KA over time. However, I will say that I usually spray off the big stuff before it goes into the machine, so wet cake batter would get sprayed off. And whatever the spray would do to the peanut butter.
Burned items soak in the sink until they break loose, then into the machine.
I do not do nonstick in the machine. DW detergent is bad on the nonstick finish.
And I pretty much always use the 'High Temp Scrub' option. This adds a bit of time and raises the temp to (I think) 140F.
Allrightythen. Done. Normal/Eco cycle, est. 88 mins including dry period. Prewash, main wash (125F), rinse, rinse (125F), dry.
WeedMeister ... SailAway is either unable to run even these examples of soil through her current dishwasher due to its poor performance, or is leery of doing so. Yes, of course, non-stick items are not recommended for dishwasher washing. However, I run everything through the dishwasher that fits (with rare exceptions), and I do hand-wash that skillet occasionally and "re-season" it with a bit of vegetable oil.
My DW is >20 years old, so I am essentially pre-washing without the soap before putting anything in the DW. I'm looking forward to having a new DW which, hopefully, will perform as most of you have described. Until then, I will continue to pre-rinse so I don't have to face the consequences of not doing so.
No, I've never put nonstick pans in DW and don't intend to do so.
Dadoes, I think you replicated a generous amount of peanut butter perfectly. I see that not only did the knife come clean but so did the DW rack. I'm convinced. What DW do you have? Alas, though, you have reopened an earlier question I've had about DWs--the prewash, which I assume is the same as the rinse cycle. I thought I needed a rinse cycle so that I could rinse dishes that I might leave overnight and not actually wash until the next day when the DW was full. I thought it would help prevent odors from the dirty dishes. I was told repeatedly NOT to rinse, that it would actually cause odors to do that. Did you use the prewash for illustrative purposes, or do you find the rinse cycle is useful after all?
One point - the new DW need dirt to work
Really - the new phosphate free dish soaps need dirt to interact with the enzymes - so challenge them.
Now - here is a fun video - I sometimes use it when training our electronic medical record software classes. iPad chopping block
Just enjoy the video - it is a riot but a German DW should not require pre rinsing :-)
You've said that your dishwasher is old, but haven't stated a brand and model. Being "old" does not inherently make a dishwasher a bad performer. My sister is using one of my previous units, a KitchenAid I bought in January 1992 to replace the aforementioned "builder-grade" machine in my first house, so it's now 21 years old and still does a great job.
My current dishwasher is a 9-1/2 years old Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer. If you've done much research on dishwashers, you've probably found numerous bad reviews of them ... so if mine can clean peanut butter (and other soils) that nicely, think about how much better your new machine *should* do. :-)
My reference to prewash is not separate rinse/hold cycle. My machine does have a rinse-only cycle but I don't use it. Prewash is the first fill & drain of the selected wash program. Two detergent cups. The first dose, which is optional depending on the selected cycle and how soiled is the load, is released in the first fill & spray period. Various available wash programs consist of a different number of fill/drain (wash or rinse) periods and target temperatures. As I noted above, the Normal Eco program that I used for the peanut butter example consists of
- Prewash (with or without detergent as the user desires)
- Main Wash (with detergent of course, heated to 125F)
- 1st Rinse
- 2nd Rinse (heated to 125F)
- Dry
For comparison, Normal (non-Eco) is
- Prewash
- Rinse
- Main Wash (heated to 140F)
- 1st Rinse
- 2nd Rinse (heated to 150F)
- Dry
@whirlpool trainee - Amazing pics. I need some of the Miele DW detergent! Our new Bosch is light years better than the old Kenmore Elite, but I still soak the baked on crusty stuff for 5 or 10 minutes. Otherwise, some of it is still on after a "Heavy" wash cycle.
@sailaway - Our peanut butter knives are pre-rinsed by the family dog. She even knows the sound of the jar hitting the counter top and comes running, to do her job.
Thanks for the tip, jakvis. I actually have tried doing the DW washes, and it didn't make much difference. We've already ordered the DW (and other appliances) from a local store, so we won't be keeping this one. I think I could have kept going with this DW a while longer, but I definitely would have to keep rinsing thoroughly. I might try cleaning it out again, if I thought someone might be willing to take a 20+ year-old DW. I hate giving up on appliances that are still working.
Sail-Away, what specific model is your KitchenAid? A 1990 unit should be quite a powerful cleaning machine. Seems something is wrong there, somehow ... maybe a heating element not working, clogged water valve causing insufficient fill level, clogged filter or wash arm.
The first dishwasher my family had was a 1975 KitchenAid, Imperial model KDI-17a. Two aunts also had KitchenAids. One of them is on her 3rd KA machine since 1969, she has always been highly pleased with them.
And as I mentioned, I bought a KA in 1992 (Superba model KUDS22) that my sister is using now.
None of the KA machines I've used required prerinsing. Even the 1975 unit that had a wash arm only under the lower rack did a bang-up job with anything and everything we threw at it.
Clearly, I needed you guys back when I first got my old DW. I have always, always rinsed dishes; and, frankly, I remember being so excited because this DW didn't require me to actually wash the dishes beforehand.
Yes, the high loop is as it should be. It's not that food redistributes, it's just that what has dried on stays on. Really, the worst offenders are things I can't see but I can feel dried on plates after I rinse them (if I don't scrub the plates). Milk rings on the bottom of glasses will still be there if they are allowed to dry. Anything stuck on silverware will stay there. So it's just easier to rinse everything and not worry about it. I go by feel--if anything is stuck on after rinsing, I scrub it off. I can (and do) put glasses or cereal bowls in without rinsing IF I'm going to run the DW immediately after.
I'll definitely mention your thoughts to DH so he can make sure we don't have some preexisting issues that could affect the efficiency of the new DW.
We have the DW installed and I ran it for the first time last night. We had skins-on garlic mashed potatoes, and I put both the colander that I used for draining the potatoes and the pot in which they were cooked into the DW without any rinsing. We had various dishes from a day or two previously (plates, bowls, wine glasses, regular glasses, etc.), as well as cooking utensils and silverware. I did have two knives with residual peanut butter on them. Without thinking, I wiped the excess peanut butter off of the knife my child had used, so I didn't exactly duplicate Dadoes' test above. (Thanks again for doing that---I owe you a spoonful of pb).
I'm happy to report that everything came clean, except for a small spot of potato slush on the cooking pot. I figured that was the biggest challenge, as the starchy potato film on pans always seem a challenge to get clean. I think the one spot was left due to my not placing the pot in the DW exactly right. It ended up tipped up, with potato water remaining in the pot. However, the colander that was just as starch/potato encrusted as the cooking pot was spotless. I just ran some soapy water around in the cooking pot and it immediately came clean. Before running the DW, I told DH that the cooking pot and colander might not come clean, but if everything else did I would be VERY happy.
I'm also very happy with the noise level---we could hardly hear it and only if we really listened for it. And I LOVE the way the racks glide open and closed with no effort; I could push them closed with my little finger, but I don't. I did get the extra top utility rack, and I really like that, too. If we don't have any major problems with the DW in the next few years, I will consider this a very good purchase.

[Mac OS X] Discover cool new Mac apps with Bodega
Posted By Tucker On January 18, 2013 @ 9:42 PM In Mac OS X | No Comments
[1]Apps are like books: no matter how much you love them, you'll probably never have the time to check out all of them in your lifetime. When it comes to find new Mac Apps, you've got a few options: read a tech blog to discover cool new apps, search for the app by name (or by keyword) on Google, or poke around the App Store on your Mac. These are all okay options. But there's another way to discover and download Mac Apps that might have passed under your radar. It's called Bodega, and it's a virtual storefront for browsing and selecting cool new apps that you might have otherwise missed out on. Bodega is developed by Winninpeg-based freshcode.
Main Functionality
Bodega lets users search, research, and browse new apps, as well as learning the latest Mac news. Bodega is like a storefront right on your Mac's desktop, and contains an ever-growing catalog of software to meet your every computing need.
[2]Okay, I'm probably dating myself here, but here goes. Do you remember going into video rental stores back in the day? My favorite part of the experience was always checking out the wall of employee picks. There were always some cool movies that had flown under my radar, and I was thankful for the tips. Bodega is a bit like that, although I wish the "Shopkeeper's Picks" section had a deeper bench of indie and overlooked apps. There were a lot of big, well-known app names on that recommendations list.
That being said, I do think it's super convenient that Bodega will automatically update any apps you've purchased through them. However, sometimes the new version of an app isn't as feature-rich or stable as the old version, so you might dislike this feature.
Bodega is a lot easier to navigate than the App Store, in my opinion. I also love the thrill of finding a new Mac App that I never would have stumbled across while using the App Store. There are some seriously cool apps I've found that are sure to be the subject of future reviews.
I don't think Bodega will replace the App Store for me, but I do plan to keep using it in concert with the App Store to help me track apps that aren't getting App Store exposure. One big benefit on my older Mac is that Bodega doesn't send my CPU temp flying like the App Store does. Bodega is a cool idea, and definitely worth checking out for yourself.

Morgan Stanley Profit Up 69% as Traders Redeem Themselves (Update 2)
Updated from 8:11 ET with additional details throughout.
- Morgan Stanley reports second-quarter profit from continuing operations of $1 billion, or 43 cents a share.
- Profit up 69% at $1 billion vs. $591 million in the second quarter of 2012.
- Net revenue comes in at $8.5 billion for the second quarter compared with $6.9 billion a year ago.
- The consensus estimate among analysts was EPS of 43 cents a share on revenue of $7.89 billion.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Morgan Stanley (MS - Get Report) profits rose 69% in the second quarter on higher revenue on the back of strong equities trading results and a solid performance in a difficult quarter for fixed income.
Equity sales and trading net revenues of $1.8 billion, up from $1.3 billion a year ago.
"They coined money," said Sanford Bernstein analyst Brad Hintz of the equities results. Hinz said Morgan Stanley and Citigroup (C) were the strongest performers in equities trading in the second quarter among global U.S. investment banks. Morgan Stanley shares were up 4.14% to $27.64 about an hour before the market opened Thursday. Bernstein's Hintz was also impressed with Morgan Stanley's fixed income revenues, which, adjusted for an accounting oddity known as debt valuation allowance, were down 24% vs. the previous quarter. The rest of the industry is down about 22% and Goldman Sachs (GS) was also down about 24%, according to Hintz. "For a firm that does not perform well in fixed income this is pretty good," Hintz said. Across the company, Morgan Stanley earned $1 billion from continuing operations, or 43 cents per share as revenue rose 29% vs. a year ago to $8.5 billion. Chairman and CEO James Gorman cited "significant" revenue growth in each of the bank's five main business units compared to a year ago. "Of particular note, equity sales and trading results were strong across all products and regions, while investment banking delivered top-three rankings in announced and completed M&A, global equity offerings and global IPOs," Gorman stated in a press release. The EPS calculation included a negative adjustment of approximately $152 million, or 8 cents per diluted share, related to the previously announced purchase of the remaining interest in the Morgan Stanley Smith Barney (MSSB) joint venture from Citigroup. Results in Morgan Stanley's brokerage division, which Gorman has made a major focus since taking over leadership of the company, were strong. Wealth management margins of 18.5% were the highest since the inception of the joint venture. Nonetheless, they lagged the 28% margins at Bank of America's (BAC) Merrill Lynch unit, Morgan Stanley's major competitor. Compensation expense of $4.1 billion increased from $3.6 billion a year ago on higher revenue. Non-compensation expenses of $2.6 billion increased from $2.4 billion in the prior year reflecting increased litigation costs and higher volume driven expenses. -- Written by Dan Freed in New York.

War. Thule. Ancient geography[edit] Now Pytheas of Massilia tells us that Thule, the most northerly of the Britannic Islands, is farthest north, and that there the circle of the summer tropic is the same as the Arctic Circle.
But from the other writers I learn nothing on the subject—neither that there exists a certain island by the name of Thule, nor whether the northern regions are inhabitable up to the point where the summer tropic becomes the Arctic Circle. The Roman geographer Pomponius Mela placed Thule north of Scythia.[10] Sybaris. Sybaris (Ancient Greek: Σύβαρις; Italian: Sibari) was an important city of Magna Graecia.
It was situated on the Gulf of Taranto between two rivers, the Crathis (Crati) and the Sybaris (Coscile). In 510/09 BC[A] the city was subjugated by its neighbor Kroton and its population driven out. Sybaris became a dependent ally of Kroton, but Kroton again besieged the city in 476/5 BC, probably resulting in another victory for Kroton. Two attempts to reoccupy the city failed around 452/1 BC and 446/5 BC when the remaining Sybarites were again expelled by the Krotoniates. After a call for help the Sybarites reoccupied their city later in 446/5 BC with the assistance of new settlers from Athens and other cities in the Peloponnese.
Asian culture. Chantecler (play) Chantecler is a verse play in four acts, written by Edmond Rostand.
The play is notable in that all the characters are farmyard animals including the main protagonist, a chanticleer, or rooster. The play centers on the theme of idealism and spiritual sincerity, as contrasted with cynicism and artificiality. Much of the play satirizes modernist artistic doctrines from Rostand's romanticist perspective.

Normally the cans of grape concentrate sold by Alexander & Sons/California Concentrate Company are meant to be sold in pairs, as the default recipe is for a 5-gallon batch, and requires 2 46fl.oz. cans.
I'm not up for 5gallon batches yet (no room), so here we are with the recipe numbers converted and usable for smaller batches.
These will be calculated out per gallon of finished wine. Each can has enough for 2 1gallon batches, with some concentrate left over for backsweetening if you desire.

Valve has released SteamOS into the wild, and invited us to play.
And so I have, well outside the recommended parameters of their system requirements… because where's the fun otherwise?
For reference: http://store.steampowered.com/steamos/buildyourown
My SteamOS test machine is an old Intel Core2Duo-based Mac Mini with an nVidia Geforce 9400 GPU. Not really a beefy gaming box, but adequate for simple games and playing videos with hardware acclerated decoding.
I started with the custom installer from the link above, and the install went surprisingly smoothly following their directions – until it came time for the recovery partition steps. Those flat out… Continue reading
Trying my hand at brewing from a raw cider again, putting the last year of learning and experience to test.
The first batch is sitting there in secondary now, the second is in primary (in the tub in case of spillover)
The green bottles are the product of my last wine batch. Not amazing, but drinkable.
Hopefully the cider will turn out well. I'm going for a Crispin BareNaked feel with the unfiltered cider. As always, time will tell.
I haven't built it yet, but the basic design is complete.
It's based around a spare Dell 17″ LCD, and a miniITX board I aqcuired.
The speakers are 2 small Tang-Band drivers, more than enough oomph.
If anyone decides to build it, send me pics!
About 5-6 years ago, I was poking around the internet, looking for information on this cyberpunk RPG I'd heard about called Shadowrun.
This led me to a simple little corner of the Shadowrun Webring, a page run by a chummer known as shapcano. He wrote a series of fantastic short stories, and a few short novels that really brought the world of Shadowrun alive to me.
Thanks to him and his stories, I was approached by a group looking for Shadowrun RPG players, and although I'd never played a pen-and-paper RPG before, I loved Shadowrun so much that I jumped… Continue reading

Well, I had intended to bottle my raspberry apple cider this evening, but it needed a bit more time.
So I pulled out this little half-gallon of red wine I've had on oak for a few months to throw out as a failed experiment. To my astonishment and utter surprise, it is quite drinkable. Not utterly fantastic, but not the biting hobowine it was after secondary.
Good enough that I bottled it.
Not bad for a first go. Amazing what a little bit of time and oak can do.

Regional banks slow to recover
PUBLISHED: 16 Nov 2011 00:04:17 | UPDATED: 21 Nov 2011 07:39:45PUBLISHED: 16 Nov 2011 PRINT EDITION: 16 Nov 2011Jane Searle
Poor returns on equity are hampering the prospects for regional banks as the effect of the Queensland floods and higher funding costs drag on performance.
The assessment from KPMG comes as the asset quality and interest margins of the big four banks recover at a faster rate than their smaller peers.
Operating profit before tax for the regionals rose 16.1 per cent to $828 million in 2010-11, with three of the four lenders posting profits: Suncorp Bank, Bendigo and Adelaide Bank and Members Equity Bank.
Bank of Queensland was hit by losses from three large troubled loan exposures and the Queensland floods.
KPMG banking partner Martin McGrath said the key question for regionals was how they could increase their average returns on equity of 6.7 per cent to long-term, sustainable levels. "Getting some growth in that figure is a real challenge and 6.7 per cent is not good enough in the long term," he said.
"Funding remains a critical issue and regionals need to find sources that are more cost-effective, such as covered bonds or securitisation."
Returns on equity for the regionals ranged from 3.2 per cent for Suncorp to 9.1 per cent for Bendigo and Adelaide.
In contrast, the major banks' average return on equity rose to 16.7 per cent due to a significant fall in loan impairment costs.
Bell Potter bank analyst TS Lim said the margins of Bank of Queensland and Bendigo and Adelaide Bank were lower than the majors partly due to their higher wholesale funding costs, while many of the smaller unlisted mutuals could rely wholly on deposit funding.
Mr Lim also pointed to the higher cost base of regional lenders as a weakness.
He believes that they should merge to improve their return on equity position. "They could get together. Then they'd have synergies and it would drive their cost-to-income ratios down – for Bendigo and BoQ it could be brought down to around 40 per cent."
Any merger would also improve the funding positions of regionals by lifting their credit ratings, potentially from a BBB+ to an A-.
Former Suncorp chairman John Story recently said all regional banks had to work on their issues before considering any consolidation, alluding to the ongoing rundown of Suncorp's non-core loan portfolio and the troublesome property exposures of other lenders.
Others have noted that the recent appointment of Bank of Queensland chief Stuart Grimshaw may also open doors to merger opportunities, though he is not expected to make any immediate moves.
Mr McGrath disagreed that the regional banks were struggling with their cost bases and said they had recorded competitive cost-to-income ratios. "The cost-to-income ratios reflect well-managed institutions," he said.
"Across the sector the cost-toincome ratio averaged 52.2 per cent [and] Bank of Queensland led the way with 44.5 per cent, a ratio that compares well with any of the major banks."
Even so, since the start of the credit crisis the gap between the margins at major banks and the regional banks has grown significantly, Mr McGrath noted.
Some fund managers have dropped the regional lenders from their portfolios due to disadvantages around funding costs and pricing power.
Average margins among the regionals rose by 0.03 percentage points to 1.64 per cent this year thanks to their growth in retail deposit balances and consumer lending.
This compares with an average margin lift of 0.01 of a percentage point to 2.27 per cent for major banks, which benefit from pricing in their more profitable corporate and institutional lending businesses.
Mr McGrath said the rising trend in impaired assets was a concern for the sector. "In 2011, all four regionals experienced a [lift] in gross impaired loans with Bank of Queensland experiencing a significant increase, in part due to the impact of the Queensland floods, but also some commercial exposures," he said.
Together the regionals recorded impairment losses of $574 million, down 9.3 per cent from last year, as a fall in impairment expense for Suncorp was offset by a $97 million lift in bad debts for Bank of Queensland due to write-offs in its commercial book and the floods.
"The majors' impairment charges have declined at a more significant rate than the regionals, excluding Suncorp," Mr McGrath said.
Total impairment charges for major banks reduced by 36.9 per cent to $5.3 billion and accounted for the bulk of improvement in profits in the last financial year.
Despite the challenges, Mr McGrath noted that 2010-11 had been the second year since the onset of the credit crisis where regional lenders had recorded improved profitability. "The regionals, despite ongoing fierce competition in the retail sector from the majors, continue to perform strongly with growth in retail lending and deposits," he said.
