Transforming Classification
The Public Interest Declassification Board (PIDB) at the National Archives has been hard at work this year developing recommendations to the President of the United States to transform the national security classification system. PIDB is an advisory committee established by Congress to advise and provide recommendations to the President and other executive branch officials on the identification, collection, review for declassification, and release of declassified records of archival value. In addition, PIDB advises the President on policies regarding classification and declassification of national security information.
Through their "Transforming Classification" blog, they have solicited hundreds of public comments and ideas on ways to reduce inefficiency and increase public access to improve our classification and declassification system.
The work of the PIDB embodies the principles of open government, transparency and participation, and I encourage you to provide your feedback on their blog as they continue to tackle the challenge of improving the national security classification system, especially as it relates to digital records.
On Thursday, December 6th, the Public Interest Declassification Board will host an open meeting to discuss its recommendations to the President on Transforming the Security Classification System. The full Report to the President will be published online on December 6th . The meeting will focus on the Board's fourteen recommendations, centering on the need for new policies for classifying information, new processes for declassifying information, … [ Read all ]

Weingarten Realty Closes On Strategic Sale Of Industrial Portfolio To A Fund Managed By DRA Advisors LLC
Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE: WRI), a leading owner, manager and developer of shopping centers, announced today that it has closed on the previously announced sale of its wholly-owned industrial portfolio to DRA Growth and Income Fund VII.
The portfolio is comprised of 52 industrial properties, aggregating approximately 9.6 million square feet located in Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. The portfolio is predominately unencumbered, with DRA assuming one secured loan of $4.9 million. The sale price was $382.4 million, representing a capitalization rate of approximately 8%.
Weingarten will use the proceeds from this transaction to pay down amounts outstanding under its revolving credit facility and repay a $200 million unsecured term loan, resulting in a further strengthening of the Company's balance sheet and providing additional capacity to fund growth opportunities in its core retail markets.
"The completion of this portfolio sale is a significant step in our previously outlined capital recycling initiative and effectively positions Weingarten as a pure-play retail REIT. We will continue our commitment in building shareholder value through the repositioning of the retail portfolio into core markets with high barriers to entry, strong growth potential and strong demographics," said Drew Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer.
David Luski, President and CEO of DRA Advisors LLC said, "We are pleased to acquire this sizable industrial portfolio featuring solid income returns and value-added upside. This transaction is exemplary of our strategy of collaborating with public REITs who wish to strategically divest assets via outright sale or joint venture." J.P. Morgan Securities LLC served as financial advisor to Weingarten on the sale. About Weingarten Realty Investors Weingarten Realty Investors (NYSE: WRI) is a commercial real estate owner, manager and developer. At March 31, 2012, the Company owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through its interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 374 developed income-producing properties and 11 properties under various stages of construction and development.

Mark Thoma tackles the question of why--and how--the field of economics retreated from what he calls its "public mission," in an essay for the Institute for Public Knowledge. While once a discipline that engaged routinely with citizens and leaders in the public sector, Economics spent much of the latter half of the twentieth century exploring issues that, while important, were not part of the general discourse. Thoma calls this "The Great Disconnect," and he examines several reasons for it:
Mathematics and the Desire to be a Scientific Discipline
...Michael Bernstein makes this point as well, as the discipline became more and more mathematical – the language we speak is increasingly symbolic rather than verbal – it became less accessible to outsiders.
Positive and Normative Economics
...economists have become less willing to take sides in public debates, and more importantly unwilling to wade into public debates when doing so can be perceived as supporting one side over the other.
Sociological Factors
...As economics has become increasingly mathematical and theoretical, it has also become more cliquish.
Interest in Different Questions
...The fact that those inside and outside of academics are interested in different questions may have also play a role in severing the ties of academics to the outside world.
The result, Thoma argues, is bad for the field, for economists, and for society in general:
For all of these reasons, economics lost communication with policymakers and practitioners leaving room for all sorts of "charlatans and cranks" to fill the void. In doing so, academics ceded important ground to think tanks aligned with one party or the other, to self-appointed economic experts, to business economists maximizing profit rather than public knowledge, and to a media that doesn't always comprehend the economics that underlie a particular issue. Even in cases where there actually was fairly wide agreement among academic economists about a particular policy proposal, the public debate in the media did not convey that economists were largely united on the issue.
But there is good news. The last five years have brought about a lot of positive change. Thanks to social media and blogging, more and more economists are writing for a public audience. Thoma has seen the benefits of engaging with the public through his own blog, Economist's View (one of many daily reads for The Watch). He extols the virtues of blogging and writing for the public at large in the second half of his essay. Read New Forms of Communication and the Public Mission of Economics: Overcoming the Great Disconnect here.

Whew. After about 44 hours of traveling I've made it home :-D. All in all it went well. I almost had to pay $110 due to a too-heavy carry on, and one of my bags missed the plane from LA to Denver, but it's all right. I didn't have to pay the money and my bag eventually made it.
It's good to be home :) I hung out with my best friend for awhile the day after I got home and will be going with her tomorrow morning to pick up some CD she wants from a music store.
My girlfriend called at about 7:45 this morning :-P Despite the early hour I was really happy to hear from her. I'm soooooo excited because it's almost definite that she's going to be spending about 10-12 days with me down in San Antonio while I'm down there visiting my Dad & Stepmom. :: does a happy dance ::

- Allergy and Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics - http://www.aanma.org -
On June 14, 2013 @ 12:57 pm In All Articles,Blogs
[1]Allergy & Asthma Network Mothers of Asthmatics (AANMA) is concerned about the increasing "do-it-yourself" trend that treats allergy and asthma patients more like piggy banks [2] than people with serious health concerns. A recent story in USA Today [3] about home allergy tests is a case in point. Here's AANMA's response:
To the Editor:
The "do-it-yourself" MyAllergyTest featured in Cathy Payne's "Home Test Kit for Top Ten Allergens, Including Cats" trivialize what is a serious, debilitating and sometimes life-threatening condition.
Allergy testing is not done for curiosity's sake as quipped by MyAllergyTest ImmuneTech's CEO Lisa Elkin. If it involves any level of frivolity, save your money. You don't need it.
MyAllergyTest cannot be compared to a "yes" or "no" home pregnancy or blood-pressure test. Allergy test results have no value without context provided by expert pre- and post-testing assessment by a board-certified allergist.
The problem is, many non-physicians are practicing allergy immunotherapy without training or certification by the American Board of Allergy & Immunology.
For a $20 co-pay, people can get real allergy testing from experts and apply what they learn at home, school, work and play. Those unemployed or without health insurance can least afford to waste money on tests they do not need.
DIY assessment leaves us vulnerable to over/undermedication, suffering and risk. Elkin's DIY test advises people who are allergic to ragweed not to mow the grass. Try this: Get a qualified diagnosis and a long-term treatment plan from a board-certified allergist and you might be able to run marathons during ragweed season like some of our members.
Allergy testing, diagnosis and management is not for do-it-yourselfers!

#BarackBenghaziObama Blowing Smoke
Posted By Bosch Fawstin On March 18, 2013 @ 12:36 am In Cartoon Corner,Daily Mailer,FrontPage | 8 Comments
I don't know what Barack Benghazi Obama did on the night of September 11, 2012, but whatever he did that night, he has to pay for what he didn't do, and that's to act as Commander in chief to do all you can to save Americans who are in peril.
This is the 5th cartoon from my AWOL #BarackBenghaziObama cartoon series. Here's the 1st – 2nd – 3rd & 4th.
As I often say, my name is Bosch and I'm a ̶r̶e̶c̶o̶v̶e̶r̶i̶n̶g-̶ recovered Muslim.
I will be speaking at The University of Baltimore on Islam, Pigman & Free Speech
Come join me on March 26 at my talk for The Federalist Society at The University of Baltimore School of Law. I'll be talking about my Muslim background and how, after 9/11, it had a lot to do with the creation of my anti-jihad superhero, Pigman. The main thrust of my talk will be about the The First Amendment and how Crucially important it is to America and to me personally. See the below poster for more info and check out the Facebook page of the event for further details.
Hope to see some of you there.

SCOPE's SAFE Act Voter APP for 11-4-14
News and Actions on NY S.A.F.E.
SCOPE asks Candidates to Sign a Repeal the SAFE Act Pledge
Our own Governor said, "Keep your guns just register them." (this to was a misleading lie as you can only keep them until you die then they must be turned in or sold out of state.) The continued emphasis on registration says it all. NY has been registering handguns for over 100 years with the Sullivan Act. Using the logic of the left, handgun violence should have ended in New York fifty or sixty years ago. The SAFE Act turned legally owned semi automatic rifles into a state defined "assault weapon" and required registration. The ammunition database scheme is a backdoor registration based on calibers purchased. The failure of the Sullivan Act has proven that registrations don't deter crime. So why are the leftists so adamant about registration? Registration leads to confiscation.
On 11 – 4 – 14 or "one one four one four" you will have the opportunity to send a definitive message to Albany, but you have to be registered to vote to do so. Check your registration and make sure your registration is up to date with your latest address. Register any kids or grandkids that are turning 18 in 2014. Talk to the members of your clubs and churches.
Make sure they are registered to VOTE we can SCOPE THE VOTE! Click this link and a voter registration form will be mailed to you.
Think about this when you see the thousands of Repeal Yard signs.
If you like you Senator that voted for NY SAFE, You might as well give up your guns.
If you like gun control, don't vote.
Remember that the Colorado Recall started with 2 guys hand painting signs in a garage. There are 6 million gun owners in New York state and it only takes 3 million to win an election.
SCOPE Asks Candidates to Sign a Pledge to REPEAL NY S.A.F.E.
Governor Andrew Cuomo is rated F by SCOPE!
The Governor's Race!
Governor Andrew Cuomo is rated F by SCOPE! Plain and simple.
Rob Astorino is rated an A by SCOPE.
Rob Astorino has stated that he will seek to Repeal the NY SAFE Act
SCOPE will not play the game that ACORN or OFA does and present the information in such a manner to make believe that once elected he has the power to do so. We know that he does not.
If we can also use our common power to (as Donald Trump would say) "Fire" many of the other legislators that voted for NY SAFE then we have a chance.
Rob Astorino has accomplished something very significant with his announcement that he will seek to repeal the law. He has made NY SAFE Act an issue in the campaign.

"We found Rose cottage was perfect for a quiet family…"
We found Rose cottage was perfect for a quiet family holiday with everything provided for our baby and toddler. We got a very warm welcome with a glass of wine on arrival while our daughter ran off to play in the toy-filled garden; the cottage was spotlessly clean and included linen and a welcome pack. We booked dinner on our arrival day, which was excellent and well worth the money. The weeks holiday was unbelievably good value for money

Test your book knowledge with Bookopotamus trivia app
I'm not usually one for cell-phone/tablet games (OK, I do have "Word Mole" on my BlackBerry), but Bookopotamus could quickly grow on me.
The audio-book trivia app is totally fun for anyone who reads a lot.
The game works like this: You get audio of a quote and are asked to guess, against the clock, what book the quote is from (it's multiple choice). The quotes comes from bestsellers ("Girl with a Dragon Tattoo") and the classics ("Moby Dick"). There are contextual clues that can help if you're slightly less well read. Scores are based on the speed of the answer.
I got "The Metamorphosis" in two words; "One morning." Just saying.
And, so you don't feel bad about the hours you will no doubt spend playing the game, its maker, Findaway World, is donating up to $10,000 to the nonprofit First Book based on how many people download and how often they play the game. Donations will continue to accumulate through March. First Book has distributed more than 100 million books and educational resources to programs and schools serving children from low-income families throughout the United States and Canada.
You can download the app through the App Store or Google Play.

That's all from us here at Markets Live for this week.
For the week, the ASX200 added 9.5 points, or 0.2 per cent.
The market has closed higher, with the benchmark S&P/ASX200 jumping 47.7 points, or 0.9 per cent, to 5123.4. The broader All Ords rose 48.5 points, or 1 per cent, to 5115.2.
Alibaba is planning a management structure that would allow its partners to nominate the board and retain control over decision-making after it goes public, the Hong Kong Economic Times (HKET) daily reported today.
The Chinese e-commerce firm is widely expected to launch an initial public offering worth more than $15 billion by the end of the year, with Hong Kong tipped as the likely venue.
The HKET report cited sources familiar with Alibaba's thinking and gave no further details. An Alibaba spokesman in Hong Kong declined to comment on the report when contacted by Reuters.
Alibaba's partners include Chairman Jack Ma, former Chief Financial Officer Joe Tsai, Alibaba's current Chief Executive Jonathan Lu and other senior managers and company founders.
Reuters had earlier reported the company was in talks with the Hong Kong stock exchange about allowing its founders to maintain control after the IPO, possibly through a dual class listing which favours a company's management and founders over individual investors.
The Hong Kong stock exchange generally disapproves of dual class listings and the sources told the HKET daily that Alibaba was not planning such a move.
Hi guys - we seem to be having a few technical difficulties with comments.
We are working on it and hope to have everything back to normal soon.
Thank you for your patience and sorry the inconvenience.
A Coalition victory in the September election might be good news for major ASX-listed healthcare stocks Primary Health Care, Sonic Healthcare, Ramsay Health Care, API, Sigma and Virtus.
UBS healthcare analysts Andrew Goodsall and Dan Hurren say Coalition health policies are "directly positive" for the companies, which derive between 70 and 80 per cent of their income from federal funding.
The Coalition's healthcare policies include allowing the health minister to approve PBS listing for medicines that would cost the taxpayer up to $20 million a year, instead of $10 million - good news for drug companies.
But despite the Coalition's criticisms of means testing of the private health insurance rebate introduced under Labor, the analysts say a conservative government wouldn't reverse the changes in the short term.
"Coalition policy is positive to private health insurance, but unable to reverse [the] trifecta of Labor cuts weighing on [the] private health insurance outlook, unless 'fiscal circumstances allow'."
They conclude: "On a stock by stock basis, we rate the Coalition's policies as directly positive. The Coalition's history of policy stability is favourable and merits modest additional sub-sector premiums versus sovereign risk de-rating experienced under the Labor government, in our view."
Taking another look around the region, the majority of indexes are in the black:

Brisbane has great potential to attract more high-rolling gamblers from China, says casinos operator Crown.
Crown chief executive Rowen Craigie says Perth is attracting about five times the volume of business from VIP gamblers that Brisbane does despite Brisbane being a comparable city.
Crown operates casinos in Melbourne and Perth and is in the final stage of negotiating with the NSW government to build a $1.3 billion resort and VIP-only casino in Sydney.
Crown's rival, Echo Entertainment Group, operates Sydney's only casino at present, The Star.
Echo also operates casinos in Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Townsville in Queensland.
''Brisbane is clearly an opportunity,'' Mr Craigie told reporters on Friday.
''The more options that Australia can give the Chinese high-roller, the better - it is about critical mass.
''If Australia is going to compete against Las Vegas and Singapore and Macau, it needs to have multiple, high-quality offerings (casinos), not just one.''
China Mobile has awarded initial 4G contracts worth around 20 billion yuan ($3.6 billion), with Chinese firms securing more than half of the biggest prize in the global telecoms industry this year and foreign firms winning about a third, industry sources said.
Telecoms equipment makers, such as global leader Ericsson and Huawei Technologies, have been waiting for China Mobile's 4G tender to lift the fortunes of an industry that has been hit by a lack of spending worldwide.
The development of a 4G network by the carrier, which with more than 700 million mobile customers is the world's largest by subscribers, is also regarded as key to it clinching an agreement with Apple to carry its blockbuster iPhone.
"This is the tender that global telecom equipment vendors have been vying for this year," said an industry source.
"Even though we see Huawei and ZTE getting the bulk of the contracts and foreign vendors getting around a third, I'm sure they will keep going back to China Mobile and get a bit more share."
Shenzhen-based Huawei and crosstown rival ZTE have obtained about 25 per cent each of the total 4G procurement in China Mobile's tender this year, said the sources, who are familiar with the negotiations but declined to be identified because they are not authorised to speak to the media.
European vendors Ericsson, Alcatel-Lucent SA and Nokia Siemens Networks (NSN) have obtained a share of around 10 per cent each, the sources said.
The film and entertainment business 21st Century Fox - recently spun off from News Corp - might again seek full control of UK satellite broadcaster BSkyB, according to an investment bank.
News Corp two years ago dropped its bid to buy the remaining 61 per cent of BSkyB it didn't own after phone-hacking by its UK newspapers was revealed.
Last month, James Murdoch, the deputy chief operating officer of 21st Century Fox, was quoted saying: "We have no intention of bidding for the rest of BSkyB today or in the near future."
But Macquarie has forecast strong cash generation for 21st Century Fox - "cash that can be used to buy in the stakes in Sky Deutschland and BSkyB".
"While we believe Fox has its sights on both acquisition targets, we see SkyD as the more likely," it told clients today.
Macquarie estimated that BSkyB, in which Fox owns 39 per cent, was worth $US13.3 billion. Sky Deutschland, in which Fox owns 55 per cent, was estimated to be worth $US4.2 billion.
21st Century Fox, nicknamed the "good" News business, holds the Fox film studio, Fox broadcast network and cable networks, and stakes in BSkyB, Sky Deutschland and Sky Italia. The much smaller publishing business, News Corp, holds Australian and international newspaper assets such as the Wall Street Journal, pay TV interests Foxtel and Fox Sports Australia, and online property classifieds business, REA Group.

Twice spurned suitors private equity firms Centerbridge Partners and Oaktree Capital have once again come knocking at struggling retailer Billabong's front door, throwing down a $US325 million recapitalisation proposal the bidders claim trumps an existing bid by the Altamont consortium.
Details of a new offer from Centrebridge and Oaktree, put to the Billabong board, reveal a proposal the private equity partners believe will provide Billabong with greater flexibility for addressing the company's short term and longer-term capital and operational needs when compared to the revised Altamont deal.
In a never-ending tussle over the future of Billabong, only two days ago the Takeovers Panel declared Altamont's original recapitalisation deal unacceptable due to a number of factors including a sizeable break fee of $65 million and interest rates as high as 35 per cent linked to a convertible note issue.

The world's biggest milk processor, Fonterra, has suspended operations in Sri Lanka because of an unstable situation in the country.
Earlier this week Fonterra, which has been engulfed in a contamination scandal, was banned by a Sri Lankan court from selling products.
The New Zealand company is in a dispute with the country's food safety authorities about the presence of a toxic agricultural chemical in some products.
''The temporary suspension is the right thing to do,'' Fonterra chief executive Theo Spierings said. ''It is a precautionary measure to ensure our 755 people working there are safe. We have closed our plants and office in Sri Lanka, and have asked our people to stay at home.
"Recent events, however, have made it difficult to maintain day-to-day operations, and we need to get them resolved."
Good midday read by Paul Krugman on 'the age of bubbles':
So, another BRIC hits the wall. Actually, I've never much liked the whole "BRIC" — Brazil, Russia, India, and China — concept: Russia, which is basically a petro-economy, doesn't belong there at all, and there are large differences among the other three.
Still, it's hard to deny that India, Brazil, and a number of other countries are now experiencing similar problems. And those shared problems define the economic crisis du jour.
What's going on? It's a variant on the same old story: investors loved these economies not wisely but too well, and have now turned on the objects of their former affection.
A couple years back, Western investors — discouraged by low returns both in the United States and in the noncrisis nations of Europe — began pouring large sums into emerging markets. Now they've reversed course. As a result, India's rupee and Brazil's real are plunging, along with Indonesia's rupiah, the South African rand, the Turkish lira, and more.
The ASX200 has retreated a bit from its earlier peaks but is still strongly higher, with gains across the board. Today's rally is rounding out a busy week of earnings results, BBY private client adviser Henry Jennings notes:
"The reporting season has been trundling along, and it hasn't been too bad at all," he says. "There's been more positive than negative, and the market generally feels like it wants to go up."
BHP Billiton is cutting long-term bonus pay-outs to its chief executive and management committee by 35 per cent after shareholder returns fell.
CEO Andrew Mackenzie will receive 243,126 of the 450,964 bonus awards originally granted to him. He elected to forgo 50,000 awards on top of the 35 percent cut, BHP said.
"While the committee recognised that total shareholder return performance was delivered in a difficult business environment, it also felt that more closely aligning the experience of shareholders and executives was important," BHP said. The bonuses also "reflect a more modest approach to renumeration befitting the times," it said.
BHP in April said Mackenzie will receive less pay than his predecessor Marius Kloppers at a time of declining commodity prices and revenue for the industry. Mackenzie, who took over in May, will be paid a base salary of $1.7 million during fiscal 2014. Kloppers' base salary in 2007, when he became CEO, was $1.85 million, according to BHP's annual report.
Lower interest rates coupled with a weakening Aussie will fuel a quick switch from defensive stocks in the next six months, Equity Trustees chief investment officer George Boubouras predicts:
- Investors are hugging the big materials, like BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, as well as the big banks and cyclical industrials. But market sentiment will flip very quickly in the months ahead.
- If there is a cyclical recovery in the the economy, which is what a lower rate environment and a lower Aussie dollar is about, then there is going to be a bit of a change in sentiment.
- What does that mean? It means you'll be switching from the high dividend paying stocks towards the more growth oriented ones and that will give more leverage to accelerating earnings going forward, and what's the evidence of that? That is the lower cash rates feed through to obviously stimulate the economy and what that leads to in our world in a steeper yield curve.
- That steeper yield curve is indicative of increased economic pulse in the future, therefore more GDP created, therefore from a macro perspective, more earnings growth versus the previous year.
- That switch has yet to happen but that will happen in the year ahead, which will mean in the March reporting period there will be a noticeable improvement.
Staying overseas, European Central Bank governing council member Ewald Nowotny says the recent ''stream of good news'' from the eurozone economy has removed any need to cut interest rates to a fresh record low.
''I would not see many arguments now for a rate cut,'' Nowotny, who heads Austria's central bank, said ahead of a central bankers' gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, late yesterday.
At the same time, he ruled out an early monetary tightening, saying ''the most recent developments will have no immediate effects on the policy of the European Central Bank''.
With the euro area emerging from its longest-ever recession last quarter, ECB officials led by President Mario Draghi are seeking to quell any speculation in financial markets that they will shift to tighter policy prematurely. Draghi has pledged to keep the ECB's benchmark rate at a record low of 0.5 percent for an ''extended period.''
Markets around the region are opening higher, rebounding from losses in the previous sessions. Tokyo's Nikkei is 2.3 per cent higher after the greenback strengthened against the yen
''The currency is showing that investors are moving away from their previous risk-averse positions, and that's breeding a sense of sense of security in the equity markets,'' says Naoki Fujiwara, Tokyo-based chief fund manager at Shinkin Asset Management. ''If the Federal Reserve begins tapering amid global economic strength, then the markets are going to take it positively. Japanese shares aren't extremely cheap, but the Nikkei 225 in the 13,000 range is a good price to buy.''
Otherwise, traders say little is expected from a market still lacking in trading incentives before data and announcements slated for September, such as decisions on Tokyo's bid to host the 2020 summer Olympics and on Japanese plans to raise the national sales tax.
Hong Kong's Hang Send index is up 0.6 per cent, futures on China's CSI 300 index are also pointing to gains.
Resimac has raised its bid for the rump of mortgage lender RAMS by 1.5 cents to 49.5 cents a share, seeking to neutralise a rival bid from Pepper Australia.
In the latest twist in the takeover battle for RHG – formerly known as RAMS – mortgage lender Resimac today unveiled its latest offer.
It is up against a bid from Pepper comprising 35 cents a share in cash and shares in listed fund manager Cadence Capital.
Based on previous trading price of Cadence shares, the two offers are worth similar amounts, but Resimac says the latest proposal comes with the certainty of cash.
RHG directors said they were considering both proposals.
The market appears unmoved by the latest bout of activity - RHG shares are flat at 48 cents.
Activist investor Carl Icahn says he will meet Apple chief executive Tim Cook in September and discuss the ''magnitude'' of a share repurchase plan.
Icahn made his announcement in a tweet, just over a week after he indicated he had taken a stake in the US tech giant, which he called ''extremely undervalued''.
''Spoke to Tim. Planning dinner in September. Tim believes in buyback and is doing one. What will be discussed is magnitude,'' his Twitter message said.
Icahn indicated last week he would press Apple to increase its stock buyback, in which the company purchases its own shares in a bid to boost its value.
Earlier this year, Apple yielded to pressure from the hedge fund Greenlight Capital, agreeing to return some $US100 billion to shareholders over the next two years, including $US60 billion in share repurchases.
Icahn told The Wall Street Journal last week that Apple could boost its share value by borrowing money and buying back shares.

Former Gunns chairman John Gay has been convicted of insider trading and fined $50,000 in the Tasmanian Supreme Court.
Gay, 70, pleaded guilty to the charge on the basis that he ought to have known the 2009 sale that netted around $3 million was illegal.
Justice David Porter said in sentencing Gay that he ought to have exercised far greater care in making the sale, which was influenced by the state of his health.
Justice Porter accepted that Gay was of exemplary character, and having learnt he had prostate cancer, decided to get his affairs in order and reduce debt.
But the December 2009 sale of 3.4 million shares at 90 cents was made after company directors learnt of a slump in Gunns revenue, and before the information was released to the share market in the company's February 2010 half yearly report.
This was "high grade" information, Justice Porter said.
"I hope that I have made clear to you the seriousness of insider trading," he said.

The longer-term game is no longer about Murdoch versus Fairfax, or Seven versus Nine, writes BusinessDay's Elizabeth Knight.
In a perfect world, media companies could stage a content-only battle but the game has moved on. For newspaper businesses, including those owned by Seven and Fairfax, the new competition from online digital classified operators such as Seek and Carsales continues to steal revenue. The challenges were laid bare as Seven West and Fairfax were forced to write down the value of their intangible assets whose returns no longer justify their carrying value. Seek, on the other hand, delivered strong earnings - hostage only to the economy, not structural forces.
Against this backdrop Nine has to convince would-be investors it can out-rate Seven (Ten is a tail-end Charlie in this contest) and do so without overpaying for ratings-generating programs.
In the US, Gap has raised its earnings per share outlook for the year, after its northern summer lineup helped boost second-quarter results and advanced its turnaround push.
The higher guidance was short of Wall Street expectations, but the company also hiked its annual dividend by 20 US cents, or 33 per cent, to 80 US cents per share.
Its shares rose one per cent to $US42.43 in aftermarket trading. Over the past year, the stock is up 21 per cent.
Gap, which is based in San Francisco, owns Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime, Athleta and Intermix stores, in addition to its namesake chain.
The company is the US' largest mall-based clothing chain operator, and its results provide insight into consumer spending.
For those who are interested, the iron ore price slipped slightly to $US137.70 per tonne.
It sounds like magic, far-out fiction, a California dream. Yet earnest scientists are hard at work on a new alchemy: brewing fuel for cars - synthetic gasoline - from little more than water and sunshine.
Mimicking the way plants turn sunlight and carbon dioxide in the air into energy and oxygen, the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis at the California Institute of Technology is in a race to trump nature and slow global warming.
Nate Lewis, a Caltech professor and solar energy research star, has a plan to remake fuel as we know it.
"If we couldn't get to that, we wouldn't be doing it," Lewis said in an interview last month.
The effort is backed with $US122 million ($136 million) of US Energy Department funds and combines the talents of 120 scientists at Caltech; Stanford University; the University of California's Berkeley, Irvine and San Diego campuses; and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
Gaming company Crown has seen its profit fall more than 20 per cent amid weak consumer confidence and losses from the sale of its stake in rival Echo.
Crown made a net profit of $396 million in 2012-13, down from $513 last year.
The result was affected by a near $70 million loss on the disposal of Crown's investment in rival Echo Entertainment along with nearly $26 million of refinancing and development costs.
Revenue was up three per cent at $2.89 billion while earnings before interest and tax were down 12 per cent to $514 million.
Property group Mirvac's net profit has dropped 66 per cent following a writedown of its development projects.
The company reported a net profit of $139.9 million for the 2012/13 financial year, down from $416 million for the previous year.
The result was affected by $273.2 million worth of writedowns in the value of developments in Queensland and Western Australia, it said.
Operating profit, which excludes significant items, was up three per cent to $377.6 million, while total revenue was down 10 per cent at $1.57 billion.
All major sectors have opened higher:
- Materials: +1.2%
- Gold: +3.2%
- Energy: +1.1%
- Property trusts: +0.6%
- Consumer discretionary: +0.4%
The market has opened higher, with the benchmark S&P/ASX200 rising 26.5 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 5102.2. The broader All Ords has added 26.2 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 5092.9.
Air New Zealand has confirmed it plans to cut 180 jobs in Auckland but denies union claims it's closing a large maintenance facility.
The Engineering, Printing and Manufacturing Union says the national carrier plans to close the wide body aircraft heavy maintenance facility by July next year, with the loss of 180 jobs.
The airline has since confirmed it has entered into consultation with staff at the Auckland Technical Operations engineering base about plans to cut 180 jobs.
It says the changes reflect an expected fall in future demand for wide body maintenance services from within Air New Zealand and from external customers.
Builder and developer Lend Lease has lifted its net profit 10 per cent thanks chiefly to a revenue boost from its Barangaroo project in Sydney.
Lend Lease made a net profit of $551.6 million for the 2012/13 financial year, up from $501.4 million the previous year.
The company said it recorded a nearly 18 per cent increase, to $506.6 million, in after tax profit from its Australian business, primarily due to earnings relating to relating to the first two commercial towers at Barangaroo South.
The company declared an unfranked final dividend of 20 cents.
As we near the end of the biggest week of earnings season, and with 65 per cent of the 193 ASX companies expected to report having posted their results, IG's Evan Lucas sums up:
- Having a look at the sale and earnings lines; only 41% of the 126 companies have surprised on the upside on the sales line, while 49% have surprised on the earnings line (with 2.7% coming in line with expectations).
- This suggests one thing: the biggest theme to FY13 reporting season is consolidation. This isn't new companies across every sector have stated very clearly that the sales environment has been 'challenging' (most common buzz word in market land at the moment) and that this is expected to continue in FY14.
- The fact that 52% (including the in line results) of companies improved the earnings line illustrates that consolidation is well underway. The winding down of discretionary spending is working and these companies are making the 'right' decisions in this challenging environment.
- FY14 guidance also suggests that the earnings line will continue to be the line that will surprise on the upside, as we have seen several companies this week suggesting there is still 'plenty of saving' to be made across their respective business.
- Breaking these figures down into sectors, the differentials between sales and earnings become a stark reminder of why the RBA and the like are calling the 'slowdown of the mining sector'.
- Of the 17 basic material companies that have reported, only 21% beat sales estimates, but 61% of them have beaten the earnings line. Of the 28 industrial companies, 40% have beaten on the sales line with 44% on the earnings line. Of the 31 financial firms (including REITs) to report so far, 41% have beaten the sales line with 50% of them beating earnings expectations.
- These have been the sectors that have been the most vocal about the current 'challenging' environment. They are the sectors that have cut hard into discretionary spending, which explains why companies that offer services to mining, finance and consumers, have been hardest hit; as they have products and services that are deemed to be unnecessary and can be discarded (i.e. life insurance, mining exploration and engineering).
- There are a few sectors that are seeing revenues ramping up and these sectors have been well flagged as well. Oil and gas have seen 80% of the companies that have reported beating to the sales line with only 50% of them beating on the earnings line. The difference here is that most of these companies are going through major capex projects (which will increase production even more in future financial years). Once completed it will put the sales line under even more upside pressure.
- Telecommunication companies are in a similar boat; although a small sector is dwarfed by one player, Telstra, there are several IT communication players that are up and coming with very interesting business models and projects. It is these companies that are looking to integrate technologies that Australians want such as 4G (really 5G), cloud services and other forms of high speed communication.
Sims Metal has reported a net loss of $466.1 million for the year to June, due to a decline in metal prices and sustained weak economic conditions.
This represented a loss per share of 228.1 cents, the company said. In the absence of statutory net profit, the company determined not to pay a final dividend.
"The company remains focused on business factors most within its control; including maximising the gross margin through careful management of the trade-off between intake pricing and volumes, attention to capacity utilisatition, and operational cost reductions," the company said.
The company said the board was continuing to search for a new chief executive, after Daniel Dienst retired in June. It expected to announce an appointment by the end of the first quarter of 2014.
US stocks have managed solid gains despite the three-hour shutdown of the Nasdaq market that disrupted trade on other exchanges as well. Good readings in global manufacuring indices and further signs of improvement in the US labour market boosted optimism.
At the finish the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 66.19 points (0.44 per cent) at 14,963.74. The broad-based S&P 500 added 14.16 (0.86 per cent) at 1,656.96, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 38.92 (1.08 per cent) to 3,631.78.
"The upturn is being led by Germany, where growth accelerated again in August, driven in turn by rising domestic and export demand," said Markit chief economist Chris Williamson. "So far, the third quarter is shaping up to be the best ... since the spring of 2011," Williamson said, cautioning that the bloc was not yet entirely in the clear.
Shares of fashion retailer Abercrombie & Fitch sank 17.7 per cent to their lowest level in nine months after the company's second-quarter income sank, coming in at half of forecasts.
Yahoo shares jumped 3.1 per cent on an industry report that traffic at its websites surpassed that on websites owned by search rival Google in July.
Hewlett-Packard sank 12.5 per cent on its weak quarterly earnings report, as the personal computer market continues to shrivel.
Financial services group IOOF has reported an underlying net profit of $108.8 million for the year to June, up 13 per cent from the previous year.
The company said it had experienced strong fund growth during the period, and expected it to continue into 2014.
"With superannuation legislated for continuing growth, we will be well positioned to continue to gain greater market share," managing director Christopher Kelaher said.
"As major regulatory hurdles are cleared, our focus will shift back to value-adding initiatives for our advisors and their clients."
The company posted a final dividend of 22.5 cents per share, fully franked, to be paid on October 16.
The biggest news overnight was the 'flash freeze' on the Nasdaq: computer malfunctions shook US equity trading for the second time this week, freezing thousands of stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market for three hours and raising fresh concerns about the fragility of exchanges.
The second-biggest American exchange operator, home to 3200 companies from 37 countries, halted transactions in all of its securities shortly after noon, local time, a decision that caused buying and selling to stop on its platform and dozens of others where the securities trade. Errors in the feed used to disseminate quotes and prices were to blame, Nasdaq said on its website.
Many of the country's most-traded shares, from Apple to Google and Facebook, ground to a virtual standstill as brokers were unable to execute customer orders. Nasdaq equity indexes didn't update during the outage and volume in stocks listed on the rival New York Stock Exchange also dwindled as liquidity dried up around the country.
"The real fear is that we get stuck wearing some kind of risk because of an interruption that is not of our doing," said Max Breier, a senior equity derivatives trader at BMO Capital Markets. "Any halt in information or ability to trade is going to hinder our ability to manage our risk and take positions."
It's not going to be quite as big a day for earnings as yesterday, but there are still a number of companies reporting. Here's the first one:
Waste handler Transpacific Industries is continuing to make slow progress with its turnaround, posting a heavy $200.4 million net loss in the year to June following further asset write-downs.
The loss was a reversal from the profit of $32.2 million a year ago. Revenue was steady at $2.3 billion.
An impairment charge of $276.8 million was booked, which accounted for much of the earnings reversal.
Earnings before interest, depreciation, amortisation was $412.2 million, with the range estimated earlier of $405-415 million.
No quick improvement is anticipated, with market conditions expected to remain at the subdued levels experienced in the June half, it said.
As much as 13 per cent of the group's branch network has been earmarked for possible sale, it said.

Easy Things to Do to Prepare for an Emergency
Posted By Jessica Fisher On September 26, 2011 @ 1:18 am In Health and Safety,Home Management,Homekeeping | 17 Comments
September is National Preparedness Month. You might have noticed that I've shared a few things about how to be better prepared for an emergency over the past few weeks. There have been plenty of stateside events, big and small, over the last month, to make us think twice about how to handle an emergency.
While I haven't done everything that I could or should do, I've made some baby steps.
I loved Lauren's suggestions about packing emergency, or evacuation bags [5], for everyone in the family. I found $2 backpacks at Target's back to school clearance, so I snatched up six to pack each of my kids a bag of things they might need if we need to leave home in an emergency.
I also started my stockpile of bottled water. I am too overwhelmed by the idea of buying 24 gallons at one time. Heavens! So, each time I go to a store, I'm adding a couple jugs to the cart. That extra $2 doesn't make a big dent in the budget, but I'm working toward having a backup water supply in case we are without it.
And I've got a list of things to tackle in the coming weeks like:
In case you missed any past posts on emergency preparedness, it's never to late to catch up — or get prepared.
The Eat Well Spend Less series [9] also looked at Emergency Preparedness this month. I love these ideas for what to stock in my emergency boxes as well as what to cook if the need should arise.

by Woody Sherman The Sony Handycam® HDR-PJ230 projection camcorder lets you enjoy your captured movies almost anywhere. A Saturday to remember...and relive It's been a busy Saturday for your youngest. First there was his little league game, and even though he was playing center field, your Sony Handycam® HDR-PJ230 camcorder zoomed in to see his wide-eyed expression as he ran toward the pop fly. Later, playing at the dog park, he tossed the frisbee to the pup as you ran alongside catching the action. And now, the overnight campout in the backyard: you aim your 'PJ230 at the bedsheet you strung up, turn on the projector function, and presto! There he is in all his fly-snagging glory. Cue the laughs and giggles. It's good to be a parent. Check your wish list The Sony Handycam® HDR-PJ230 may sit at the budget end of Sony's camcorder lineup, but it sure doesn't act like it. This is a camcorder that checks all the tick-boxes on your wish list: Full, lush 1080/60p recording? Yes. SteadyShot™ image stabilization that tames the shakes on zoomed-in shots? Another win. And don't forget, the 'PJ230 records in both high-detail AVCHD 2.0 and Internet-friendly MP4, so you'll have the format you need for every occasion. Challenge buster With a high-quality Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® 27X zoom lens, you'll be set for all the shooting challenges you might encounter while traveling — or during family outings — or documenting sporting events. The camcorder is designed to perform with distinction in low light, while being handheld and zoomed in. An intelligent auto mode will take the guesswork out of camera settings, and dedicated scene modes will help you present specific opportunities, like sunrises, or fireworks, or beach settings, to their best advantage. Convenience and creativity The 'PJ230 records to commonly available, inexpensive SD/SDHC/SDXC and Memory Stick memory cards. Keep several on hand and you'll never miss a fleeting moment. Highlight Playback mode turns the camera into your personal video editor, identifying and compiling key scenes from your shoot and assembling them into a short, entertaining movie — complete with music and transitions. Should you wish to share your raw footage with others, you can connect to an HDTV via the camcorder's HDMI output. A built-in USB cable conveniently connects the 'PJ230 to your household's computers. And the camcorder will directly connect to an external hard drive without the need for a computer, for archiving your videos. For that, you'll need an optional USB adapter cable available from Sony (the VMC-UAM1 cable). Here's another trick: you can access media on that hard drive using the 'PJ230's handy playback controls, and display those files on your HDTV via an HDMI connection from the camcorder. Product Highlights:Storage and Formats:records high-definition video to optional Memory Stick® PRO Duo or SD, SDHC or SDXC memory cardsmaximum video resolution: up to 1920 x 1080/60p (AVCHD 2.0 format); 1280 x 720/30p (MP4)Features:1/5.8" (3.1mm) back-illuminated Exmor® R CMOS image sensor for improved detail and lower noisebuilt-in high-contrast 13-lumen projector lets you display up to a 100" image (diagonal) on just about any flat surface27X Carl Zeiss® Vario-Tessar® optical zoom lens (32X extended mode; digital zoom to 320X)captures 8.9-megapixel still images in photo modeDolby® Digital 2-channel audio from built-in zoom microphone (in AVCHD 2.0); MP4 recording produces 2-channel AAC audio2.7" widescreen LCDSteadyShot image stabilization with Active Mode and 3-Way Shake-Cancelingface detection mode with Smile Shutter helps you capture subjects at their bestIntelligent Auto mode for easy, worry-free shootingautomatic or manual focusHighlight Playback mode identifies key scenes from your shoot and creates a short movie complete with music and transitionsConnections and Dimensions:built-in high-speed USB cable for video transfer to a computermicro HDMI output (cable included) for watching your videos on an HDTVincludes AC adapter/charger and rechargeable lithium ion battery (NP-FV30)operating guide2-3/4"W x 2-1/4"H x 4-15/16"Dweight: 7.4 oz. without batterywarranty: 1 year parts, 90 days laborOur 60-day money-back guarantee Shoot videos for posterity or posting online From birthday parties to YouTube antics, camcorders let you capture moments you can share with friends and family, or the world at large.

Great Camera, better than expected Written By SeanPsyD, Georgia on Monday, July 01, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My wife talked me into this camera for the feature that you can display movies and pictures on your wall or celing with the built in projector, and that is actually a neat and useable feature. It is amazing how clear the pictures come out, even on a rough ceiing or wall. This camera's best feature though, is that it automatically takes snapshot pictures while you are filming and somehow it catches some awesome shots that are not "staged" like when posing people for a still shot. You get natural smiles, laughs, and body language. We often like these "random" pictures better than the ones we choose to take. The ability to pick up sounds is great and even in noisy environments, the camera seems to know what you want to hear and mutes other noises (like the engine on a boat, for example). The camera is very small and actually fits in my pocket much better than my small digital still camera. It is also very lightweight. The only downside is that it does not do as well in low light environements as I would like, especially for still pictures. For indoor still pictures or in a darker area, missing a flash is noticeable, especially on faces. Other minor draw backs are navigating the menus and the software to load onto your computer. The menus are not as easily navigable as my JVC camera was and the software must be downloaded from the internet. I think there is some bug in the software as I've downloaded it twice and both times it causes my computer to shut down sometimes Pros: projector display, sound quality, takes random pictures while filming. Cons: menu not easily navigable and software for viewing and downloading to computer may have a bug in it as my computer randomly shuts down only when viewing videos. Nothing gets lost, but it is annoying. (And, my computer only does it with this software and never did it prior to downloading it) Other con is that pictures are not real good in low light situations. The camera does not have a flash or light, and doesn't really make up for the dark as well as it likely should.

Great news in from Pinewood: they are opening a new facility in the Dominican Republic.
The facility will offer 5,000 sq m of sound stage space along with 15,000 sq m of associated production support facilities. The 35 acre site will include an 8 acre water effects facility including a 75m x 75m exterior water tank with natural ocean horizons, blue screen capabilities and a fully equipped diving and marine department. When completed it will be the only tank of its type and size in the region. Construction starts this month (feb).
It is good news but really a great shame for the British Film industry as it was Buckinghamshire County Council who refused to pass planning permission for Pinewood to expand its facility here. They did want to invest £200 million for a scheme that would have included a permanent lot designed to replicate European and American locations. The lots would have included a Parisian square, a Venetian canal and the brownstones of NewYork. There was also talk of opening it up to the public as a theme type park. They would have also created a large number of houses for the local area as well as more jobs. Great for the Dominican Republic but not so great for the British Film Industry...Ta Beaurocrats!

Hello, not sure if this was the right place to ask this question, so if so, I apologize. For a few months now, I have noticed a mass that randomly appears and disappears right beside my clitoris. It's not on the skin, but underneath. When it appears, it hurts to touch. It's usually the size of the top joint to the tip of a thumb. Then during the day, it will dissapear and then reappear within a few hours. I know it's not cancer, because cancer doesn't just come and go. Could you help me and tell me the possibiblitie's of what it is. Also I jsut had a pelvic exam not too long ago, and I'm clean of sti's. I've been with the same faithful guy for a year now, and he's never cheated on me and is also clean. So that rules sti's out of the question. Thank-you yet again.
I suggest getting a second opinion and having a biopsy done.
Glad that you will have the lump check by your doctor. Please keep us updated.
July 7, 2011 - 4:23pmWell this is an on-going struggle. The time's I've gone to the doctor he has said cyst, the thing you suggested, or an STI. I have been treated for the first two, and have had extensive sti tests. I'm 100% completely free of any STI. Nothing seem's to be working. I have PCOS, but I've only had 1 cyst on my ovary in my entire life. I'm starting to really worry that it actually might be a type of vulvar cancer, due to everything else being ruled out. I've tried everything, hot baths, compresses, antibiotics, natural remedies. Nothing will make this disappear. It's starting to hurt more often when it appears, and I get "twinges" in my clitoris that I wouldn't say are painful, but deffinatley distracting. Any advice?
July 23, 2012 - 3:41amHi,
That is quite unusual. Does the lump feel hard or soft, as if it is fluid filled?
It can possibly be a Bartholin cyst. According to the Mayo Clinic, "The Bartholin's glands are located on each side of the vaginal opening. These glands secrete fluid that helps lubricate the vagina. Sometimes the openings of these glands become obstructed, causing fluid to back up into the gland. The result is relatively painless swelling called a Bartholin cyst. At times, the fluid within the cyst may become infected, resulting in pus surrounded by inflamed tissue (abscess). "
Sometimes, soaking in a tub filled with a few inches of warm water several times a day for three or four days helps. If indeed this lump is a cyst, there appears to be a drainage problem. It forms, disappears and then forms again.
But, to be safe, call your doctor about this lump. I have given you information not a diagnosis.
Thank-you very much for the usefull information. I really do appreciate it. I made a doctors appointment, and will be getting it checked out. I'll update you! Oh, also...this lumo does feel like it's full of fluid. But it's extrememly painfull when touched. Also it's not at the opening of my vagina, on either side. It's up way higher right beside my clitoris.
