Universal Brings New Footage And The Stars Out To Vegas As Travolta, Theron, Renner, Stewart Hit The Stage : CinemaCon
deadline.com – Universal may have been the last of the seven studios participating here in Las Vegas at the 2012 CinemaCon but their one hour and forty minute presentation today at Caesars Palace's Colisseum theatre was perhaps the starriest of all. Hosted with confidence and self-deprecating humor by the studio's Chairman and 13 year U veteran Adam Fogelson, the exec made good use of his background as the studio's former marketing head to really sell their summer slate – and beyond – with good old fashioned star power and well-chosen clips.

The boy is Kate's first child with Muse frontman Matt Bellamy and the couple are said to be thrilled with their new arrival.
Kate, 32, recently revealed she couldn't wait to meet her unborn baby because she wanted to find out its sex.
She said: "I'm really excited. I'm not in a rush, I don't have nerves, I'm so excited to have another baby, for our family, we are all really happy, so I can't wait.
"And I'm getting to the end, so I'm like, 'Ahhh, what is it going to be, who is it, is it going to come out screaming, is it going to come out quiet, is it going to have eyes open, is it going to be shut, is it going to have hair?'"
Earlier in her pregnancy, Kate revealed that her son thinks she is going to have a girl.
She said: "It feels like a girl, but I don't know. Ryder thinks it's a girl."

Federal grant will pay for 25 Calif. officers
Despite the grant, Oakland will continue losing officers this year through attrition
By Matthai Kuruvila
The San Francisco Chronicle
OAKLAND, Calif. — The U.S. Department of Justice has awarded Oakland a $10.7 million grant that will enable the city to hire 25 police officers for three years, bolstering a force that was stripped of dozens of officers last year because of budget cuts.
Oakland was one of 238 cities to win a Justice Department grant after Police Chief Anthony Batts proposed using the funds to hire officers to work on youth violence, human trafficking and juvenile delinquency around four middle schools.

BBC Radio 4's sketch comedy programme The Now Show has just posted a special podcast focused on Thursday's EU-UK referendum called The Vote Now Show: EU and Yours (MP3); it's both hilarious and intensely factual, which is a sadly compatible state of affairs.

Tag: Agronomic Design
Whether you rolled through planting season mostly unhindered, with the typical ups and downs, or with more challenges than you care to remember, it's time to start evaluating how your planter performed.
Pigweed, morningglory, lambsquarters, waterhemp and marestail. You don't need a survey to tell you these weeds can cause big trouble. But you do need a sound approach and effective applications to minimize losses. (more…)
Protecting your crops from pests balances several factors, from product selection to treatment timing to stewardship. Ultimately, you want to cost-effectively achieve full yield potential. Take time now to evaluate your application methods and equipment. (more…)
It's tough to knock spring rains. The moisture is welcome and critical to help your crops get off to a good start. But with the recent rainy stretch slowing planting across wide swaths of the country, Case IH track technology can help bring timeliness and efficiency to your operation. (more…)
The saying goes: If you don't like the weather, just give it 15 minutes. The same goes for field conditions: If you don't like them this spring, just wait until next year. The problem is that sitting out the season isn't an option. (more…)
Green grass, the sound of a tractor humming in a field across the section, the smell of diesel mingled with blooming trees on a crisp, spring morning make it a whole lot easier to get up and off to a fast start during the growing season. Your crops, however, require more. (more…)
Sprayer nozzle selection and performance might have more impact on your bottom line than any other equipment component. At the very least, their impact is greater than we think. So give your nozzles the attention they deserve before heading to the field this spring. (more…)
The Case IH True-Tandem 375 disk harrow is just one of the diverse tillage options designed to help you precisely manage conditions field by field this spring.
From fertility to planting to pesticide applications to pinpoint harvest data collection, precision agriculture can bring greater profit potential to your farm. Case IH can help you achieve similar precision in your tillage regime. (more…)
Tough crop residue requires aggressive management to achieve soil conditions ideal for uniform crop emergence.
Today's high-powered genetics produce more grain than ever. Those advanced traits also yield record amounts of plant material — tough, stubborn crop residue that demands aggressive management. The new True-Tandem 335 Barracuda vertical tillage tool from Case IH provides the help your fields need. (more…)
Case IH turned to its customers to help redesign the new 2000 series Early Riser planter.
From the all-new rugged row unit to the factory integration of the industry's most accurate planter technologies, Case IH redesigned the new 2000 series Early Riser® planter to ensure faster, more uniform emergence. And we made enhancing your productivity our top priority.

Connecticut authorities have accused a Norwalk hedge fund manager of stealing some $845,000 from his hedge fund.
According to the state's Department of Banking, Ronald Marvin wired more than $700,000 from his RMV Partners to himself. He also allegedly wired another $145,000 from RMV's account at Sloan Securities, where he was a broker-dealer. Marvin repaid the latter amount, but was still fired and barred from the industry by the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority in October for it.
The Banking Dept. said Marvin stole the $700,000 after he was barred.
Connecticut did not say how large a fine it would seek against Marvin, who is permitted to contest its findings.

There are few beauty rules that simply shouldn't be broken.
Quick touch ups on the go are a-okay but public preening is a definite no-no. Save
the brow plucking, spot squeezing and hair brushing for behind closed doors.
Long hair is gorgeous but too much of a good thing isn't. To your bra strap and
just below is the way to go. To your butt is too much.
We know where your lips are so make sure your lip liner matches your lipstick.
Flawless foundation is the key but don't forget to match your face to your neck.
To avoid looking like you're wearing a mask, blend your foundation down to
your décolletage.
All that glitters is not gold. Err on the side of subtle shimmer instead of blinding
disco ball. If you have to ask if it's too much, it is.
Can you add to this list? What beauty rules do you always, always stick to?

Satyricon stream new album
Spoiler: it's probably not very good.
Aha, and I can't even stream it in the US. Dodged a bullet there I guess.
It'll be better than their last few albums, thats about it.
Digging: Astronoid - Air
I can't stream it in Greece too. I mean, wtf is this stream intended for England only?
Digging: Thenighttimeproject - Thenighttimeproject
Satyricon stream new album for just our friends in the UK
fuck you had 5 cups of tea today
No luck in Aust.
oh hurray that means i can listen to it
yeah probably not going to listen to it
7 apert...god.
"The owner of this track has not made this sound available for streaming in your location."
Although that's probably a good thing considering new Satyricon albums are always shit
page cannot be found
gave a song a try
it was shit
pretty glad they removed the stream!
band is decent i suppose
they posted a new track
it's pretty awful
it doesnt even blast beat
i don't get what's with that production
pretty much all detail in the drums is totally lost so you wouldn't even be able to tell if it was using blastbeats or not
and otherwise it's just kind of lifeless
song wasnt as bad as k.i,g.n or whatever the fuck but still
I guess they used up all their good ideas for songs on their first three albums
^Lol [2]
Glad I can make you laugh with the truth! :D
I listened to it a few times on Monday (It was streamed by Metal Hammer magazine, which I guess is why it was only available to us brits). It's not better by the band's last few albums by much, but does have a few decent head nodders here and there.
Digging: Qrixkuor - Three Devils Dance
i always kind liked the riff in K.I.N.G. to be honest...it's not KVLT BM but who the fuck cares really? other than some sad people in their mom's basements...
yea if kign was a muse song u guys would eat it up
Here's a new track posted at Nuclear Blasts's YT channel..
Track's rather bland and the production is weak (drums are buried...)....
i already posted it why does no one listen to me ]: ]: ]:
My bad, I should have checked the song from your post.

Maybe it's because you rated the new Saturnus album with a 2/5 *kidding*
Haven't heard it in its entirety, but based on the track they let out, I tend to agree.
I consider the track they let out to be one of the worst songs on the album.

A nuclear Winter, that is. According to a new study published in this month's Science journal, the world is much likelier to end as a result of the aftermath of nuclear bombs being dropped, rather than the direct impact of the bombs themselves. Sound a little strange? Welcome to a new world order: since the Cold War ended, we don't so much have to worry about the massive nuclear arsenals of the U.S. and Russia being unleashed simultaneously. Rather, so-called "regional" nuclear conflicts, between India... READ ON
In other exciting Peruvian news, Peruvian president Alan Garcia has declared March the month when punctuality will sweep the nation:

Tallying tardiness, he said Peruvians as a whole were annually late by 3 billion hours. That works out to over 107 hours of tardiness for every man, woman and child.... READ ON

Panasonic Lumix DMC-LC43 review
Can't complain really, knew I was getting a P&S and have made the most of it, focus on composition is what my teacher always told me, so now I can. Love the color reproduction, I really don't want a camera to work how the picture should turn out, thats a bunch of Sh"T for lamens. I like that it accurately depicts lighting conditions and colors...
Like it old skool look, boxy and gold almost manual looking, adds to that Lecia feel.
Like that it uses plain, good ol AA, means I can use it anywhere in the world essentially.
Tips, learn how to hold your breath for no shake even at 1/3s, didn't think it was possible
Its low light performance is not so great, work around that by overexposing...I wonder if the fixed that in the LC70.
Flash is poor
Plastic body??
The new one is cheaper
Lens Cap seems pretty useless
And the biggest one- Tired of companies disabling features (A and S priority) simply to allow them to sell essentially the same product but $100 more b/c it is now prosumer rather than consumer. BS

I wish I'd taken my own advice and bought shares in Garrett, a turbocharger manufacturer, in the mid-noughties.
Back then, I suggested to NZ Autocar readers that there was a great opportunity beckoning as Garrett was forecasting that its production of turbos would double over the next five years.
It has since done that and a lot more, so anyone who bought into the company on my tip would have seen the value of those shares soar.
There's more to come with the potential for growth in the turbocharger business, as I suspect that it won't be long before just about every car utilises one to recover extra energy from spent exhaust gases.
The normally-aspirated holdouts will be cars like this Audi RS4 - cars that are targeted entirely at driving enthusiasts who have a penchant for high revs.
For there's just one thing wrong with fitting a turbo to a performance car to my mind - it automatically imposes a maximum of about 6500 crankshaft revolutions per minute.
Free of the tyranny of forced induction, the 4.2-litre V8 of the latest RS4 can go to 8500 revolutions per minute, and it sure sounds good when it's stretching out.
The 331 kilowatt, 430 Newton metre V8 is one of the older components of the RS4, having also done motivation duty for the previous model. When the latter appeared in 2003 there was only a single type of gearbox that could handle its talent for high revs - a good old shift-it-yourself manual. Despite being available only in three-pedal format, the previous RS4 sold well in New Zealand, with more than 150 Kiwi buyers stumping up the $169,000 required to secure one.
Five years later, the new RS4 is available as a wagon only, with a more convenient two-pedal driving interface, and costs $154,000.
As someone who thought the previous model was a great buy, that $15,000 price prune is eyebrow-raising, especially when you consider all the new hardware that the four-wheel-drive powertrain now sports, downstream of the engine, in the torque flow.
In comes a new seven-speed direct-shifting twin-clutch gearbox, a new crown-geared centre differential that is capable of greater adjustments in the amount of grunt distributed to either the front wheels or the rears, and a new rear diff that increases the torque distributed to the outside rear wheel when powering out of a corner.
The latter effectively pushes the car around the corner, snuffing out the power-on understeer that's usually a characteristic of a four- paw performance car.
With all this mechanical grip channelled into sticky Pirelli P Zero tyres of a suitable size and width, the stability control system of the RS4 is virtually made redundant on-road.
Take it to the track, however, and you might just find the one weak spot in what is an almost crash- proof chassis: if you get the corner entry speed wrong, the stability sentries will have some work to do correcting the understeer.
The RS4 is the performance car for all occasions thanks to the ability to tailor it according to the mood and application of the moment.
Four elements of the car - engine/gearbox, suspension, steering, and the rear differential - can be tuned to either comfort, automatic, or dynamic settings.
Audi's performance arm, Quattro GMBH, make only one RS model at a time, and they've now finished this run of RS4s, and are hard at work on a new turbocharged RS6. So if you'd like an RS that's capable of singing to the heavens, you'd best move quick.

Netherlands dedicates new chrysanthemum named Azeri to Azerbaijani people
09 January 2014 [09:45] -
On the initiative of the Dutch Friends of Azerbaijan Association (DufoA), the Netherlands has grown new species of chrysanthemum named Azeri in honor of the Azerbaijani people.
For the first time in the history of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, a certificate has been issued to name flowers not in honor of a great personality, but after a nation, the State Committee on Work with Diaspora said.
During the Flower Festival in Baku on May 20, 2013 marking the 90th jubilee of the national leader of Azerbaijan Heydar Aliyev, it was decided to name the new species of the chrysanthemum grown by DufoA Azeri in honor of the Azerbaijani people. In the Flower Festival, a ceremony was held to sign a special certificate in this regard. The document was signed by President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, his spouse Mehriban Aliyeva and President of the Dutch Friends of Azerbaijan Society Marion van der Vegt.
DufoA plans to grow the flowers to be named in honor of our poets, writers and historical cities in Keukenhof, the most visited park in the world. Two more flowers - dark red Alstroemeria has been grown in honor of Karabakh as a symbol of viability and the white flower in honor of Shusha as a symbol of mourning. The dark red flower gives the impression of blood and fire. The white flower neutralizes other colors, expresses mourning and sorrow.
The Dutch Friends of Azerbaijan Society has put forward an idea to name the new flower species grown in the Netherlands as DufoA in honor of Khojaly, one of the occupied regions of Azerbaijan.

NSA chief heckled as he defends agency's surveillance programs at hacking conference
- Hecklers told NSA Director Keith Alexander to 'read the Constitution'
- Alexander spoke at the Black Hat security conference in Las Vegas, which attracted about 7,000 cybersecurity experts and hackers from the private and public sectors
National Security Agency Director Keith Alexander jousted with a few hecklers as he defended the U.S. spy agency's surveillance programs at the Black Hat security conference on Wednesday, but largely kept the crowd of cybersecurity experts and hackers on his side.
'Read the Constitution!' one heckler shouted at the 61-year-old four-star general as he responded to polite but tough questions selected in advance by conference organizers.
'I have. So should you,' Alexander shot back, triggering sustained applause.
Scroll down for video
Hacks: NSA Chief Keith Alexander responds to questions after giving the opening keynote address at the Black Hat USA 2013 hacker convention
Hack Heaven: Hackers and security personnel attend Black Hat conference on Wednesday in Las Vegas
The four-star general, who wore uniform shirt sleeves, was the opening keynote speaker at the annual convention in Las Vegas, which drew about 7,000 cybersecurity experts and hackers from the private and public sectors.
Alexander has been under fire from many civil liberties advocates and lawmakers since former NSA contractor Edward Snowden leaked documents revealing previously secret telephone and internet surveillance programs run by the U.S. government.
Snowden, facing U.S. criminal charges and holed up in Russia, disclosed details on how the NSA gathers and stores telephone calling records of virtually all Americans, and works closely with Google Inc, Microsoft Corp and other technology companies to obtain communications from users in other countries.
The NSA is the U.S. spy agency that monitors foreign electronic communications.
The NSA protects some of the companies represented at the conference and hires some of their best employees. At the same time, many security experts have profound enthusiasm for the causes of internet freedom and privacy.
Hecklers: Alexander was heckled by protesters during Wednesday's conference
Alexander's comments in Las Vegas did not go beyond those he previously gave before Congress and at other public appearances in the past two months. He argued that the NSA surveillance programs helped disrupt more than 50 "terrorist-related" plots but said he supported wider discussions on how to balance national security priorities with privacy rights.
Alexander, who is also in charge of the U.S. Cyber Command that handles military cyberspace operations, said the NSA initially examined only several hundred phone numbers, then looked outward to see who else those people had spoken to.
His tone was mostly conciliatory, though he asserted that allegations of indiscriminate eavesdropping by the NSA had not been borne out by a Senate committee investigation, internal audits or reviews by administration officials.
'We get all these allegations of what they could be doing, but when people check, like the intelligence committee, they found no times' that NSA internet surveillance had been willfully abused, he said.
The furor over the NSA surveillance programs threatens the overseas business of some U.S. companies, as technology buyers look to local alternatives to replace U.S. services that can be intercepted.
Leaks: Former NSA contractor Edward Snowden is seeking asylum after leaking sensitive documents about the NSA's electronic surveillance programs
The first question from the audience for Alexander after his conference speech was whether he believes the NSA is hurting the ability of U.S. technology companies to compete for foreign customers. He said that companies should be able to disclose how little they actually turn over, as the industry is asking to do.
Alexander also said the vast majority of countries have similar 'lawful intercept' programs and the NSA's version was an unusually good model because it was subject to U.S. court review, albeit in secret.
Though not as critical as Congress and the courts, the security professionals at Black Hat still represent a key audience for Alexander. 'This is the greatest center of technical gravity in the world,' he said of his audience. 'It is important that we put the facts on the table.'
Black Hat conferences bring together corporate, government and independent cybersecurity experts including some hackers.
Asylum: Russian President Vladimir Putin has declined to hand Snowden over the U.S. officials
Because information on so many Americans is subject to collection without any suspicion of wrongdoing, Snowden's revelations have provoked a large privacy outcry.
'I've never sensed this level of tension or apprehension in the community,' said Black Hat founder Jeff Moss. He recalled the debate over U.S. restrictions on cryptography exports in the 1990s but said that "pales in comparison" to the fight about mass communications interception now underway.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted last week not to cut funding for the NSA's calling-records program.
The U.S. government on Wednesday released some declassified documents on the NSA's mass collection of telephone data.
The documents included an April order by the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court that directed Verizon to hand over data from millions of Americans' telephone calls and described how the data should be stored and accessed.

Halloween costume winners announced
This year's entries for the Register's Kids Halloween Costume Contest are as sweet as candy corn.
Some costumes are cute, and some are scary. But they all impressed with their creativity and attention to detail.
We received 62 entries for the contest, which was sponsored by Goodwill of Orange County and the Register's parenting website, OCMoms.com.
Congratulations to the winners, 2-year-old Turner Scrip of Mission Viejo, who received the most votes (4,730); and 5-year-old Brody Howland (pictured at 3 months) of Santa Ana, who was the judges' pick. They will each receive a $100 gift card.
Turner's mom, Margie Sheehan, came up with the idea to make up the boy as The Incredible Hulk. "He always wants to be naked as a jaybird because he runs hot," Sheehan said. "I put him in other costumes like SpongeBob, but they were too uncomfortable and warm. He would start to rip them all off." Hmm ... just like the Hulk does!
Brody's costume of a lobster with a sweet little crustacean smile won the judges' hearts. Also, perching the boy on the beach among seaweed and sand was a great touch.
Congratulations to Marielle Kaminski of Corona, the winner of the contest's Keurig giveaway. Marielle's name was randomly picked from all registered voters in the contest.

As if playing on what East Union softball coach Brian Goulart calls a "million dollar field" at Stagg High wasn't enough, the Lancers had to make the most of the opportunity.
East Union High's baseball team found itself one out away from a shutout victory over Tokay, but the Lancers could not close the door, allowing the Tigers to come clawing back for a 5-4 extra-inning loss Friday in Lodi.
In a meeting between two former Trans Valley League foes, the Ripon Christian girls soccer team were all over Modesto Christian, outshooting the Crusaders 25-4 on their way to an easy 5-0 win Friday in Ripon.
Ripon Christian's boys basketball team was able to negate 6-foot-10 Brendan Keane in its NorCal Division V quarterfinal at St. Joseph Notre Dame in Alameda Thursday.
Just two matches into the Valley Oak League tennis season, impressive freshman Logan Staggs of Tracy's Kimball High has already established himself as the runaway favorite for the singles tournament title.
Over the past three seasons Manteca High's baseball team has dominated without cease, outscoring the Titans 38-4. Things have changed in the Titans' program, and Thursday the Buffaloes had their hands full in a 8-5 victory at Manteca High.
Ripon High's boys golf team isn't celebrating yet after its 213-228 win over defending Trans Valley League champion Escalon at Oakdale Golf and Country Club Thursday.
Ripon High's softball team improved to 4-1 in non-league play with its 14-4, six-inning rout of visiting Ripon Christian Thursday.
The Sierra High varsity baseball team overcame a sluggish start by finishing strong in the 13-3 victory over visiting Modesto Christian on Wednesday.
Jerrica Hauck broke the East Union pole vault record in dramatic fashion Wednesday at Sierra High's Daniel Teicheira Memorial Stadium, but it was the host Timberwolves' girls team, led by distance runner Katelyn Carbiener, that squeaked out a much-needed win to open the Valley Oak League season.
In what looked like one of the best efforts in the Lathrop High baseball program's history, the Riverbank Bruins decided to spoil the moment with three runs in the top of the seventh for a come-from-behind 3-1 win over the host Spartans Wednesday.
This is one tie Sierra High's girls soccer team will gladly settle with.
LATHROP – In the opening stages of Lathrop High's nonleague contest with the Ripon Indians, Lathrop looked evenly matched with the Ripon, holding the lead for the game's first four innings. Ripon eventually took over in a major way, closing its 17-2 win with 14 runs in the last two at bats.
Sierra High wasted little time jumping out on the host Tokay Tigers, pushing across a pair of runs in their first at bat on their way to a 5-2 win over the Tigers Wednesday.
The Valley Oak League schedule got underway Tuesday, and Sierra High did everything it needed to do to open the season with a win. Its match with Kimball High finished in a tie, resorting to a tie-breaker method that left Sierra coping with the loss at Uninon Road Tennis Courts.

Really I don't even know why I am here other than I have hit a person on a bike before and yes after 24 years I still remember it and can give a detailed account of what happened (this was not my fault) but it doesn't make it any better. I don't know exactly what happened in this wreck but I hope everyone and there families are ok and coping well. This may have been caused by many things but in the end somebody had there attention distracted for a moment and an accident happened. I doubt speed bumps, rattle sticks, or any other deterrent can make people pay attention and this may have been prevented by either person paying closer attention. I see far too many people driving while texting or reading putting on makup combing hair or whatever while driving. I also see so many people walk across the street without looking or bikes passing on the right and running red lights (especially downtown). Just because somebody is driving a car doesn't make them absent of mistakes. Please be careful today

I just thought I'd write a quick review of this website as they've saved me a packet. I naively thought that because I was loyal to my bank that they'd give me a good credit card deal - and when I checked a few years ago I'm sure I had. I now feel a little bit silly (to say the least). I should have followed the advice in the Compare And Save guide and shopped around. Using the calculator on the website it looks like I'll actually save about £250 a year - which seems crazy to me as we're actually creating more waste (plastic cards etc - so it can't actually be cheaper).

The Reserve Bank is leaving the official cash rate unchanged at 2.5 per cent and is flagging the first rate rise will not be until 2014.
New governor Graeme Wheeler said economic growth slowed in recent months and inflation has been low, while unemployment was rising.
"On balance, it remains appropriate for the OCR to be held at 2.5 per cent," he said in today's Monetary Policy Statement, which was seen as keeping rates firmly on hold.
There was no hint that rates could be cut, despite extremely low inflation and high unemployment, so the statement was seen as "hawkish" or tough on inflation by economists. That saw the New Zealand dollar rise from about US82.5 cents to about US82.9c on the statement.
Unemployment at 7.3 per cent, a 13-year high, was largely dismissed as a statistical blip and it should be back around 7 per cent at the next reading.
Wheeler indicated that the first rate rise would not be until 2014, though ASB economists still expected it sooner, by September next year, because of a stronger growth outlook compared with the central bank's.
The Reserve Bank's own 90-day interest rate forecast indicated the first move up in the OCR in March 2014, but it would only rise modestly after that.
The central bank warned that interest rates could rise if house prices keep rising and household credit growth gathers steam. Auckland house prices have risen about 12 per cent in the past year and nationally prices are up about 5 per cent.
Westpac Bank economists said it expected the housing market to remain buoyant, and so it expected the cash rate to start rising in September 2013.
TD Securities, which earlier expected rates to start rising as soon as March 2013, pushed that out to June, with the cash rate rising to 3.25 per cent by the end of the year - a much steeper track than others expect.
TD Securities expected the Canterbury construction boom now under way would push up wider inflation in due course, and so dictate the first rate rise. New Zealand's was likely to be the first central bank to lift rates, TD said.
The Reserve Bank said that despite a sluggish economy recently, in the next two years growth is expected to pick up to between 2.5 per cent and 3 per cent a year. The global outlook remained soft but was less threatening than earlier in the year.
Repairs and rebuilding in Canterbury were gathering pace and the housing market was getting stronger, especially in Auckland. The Reserve Bank is now expecting about $30 billion of quake-related work in Canterbury, but over an extended period.
Lower funding costs for banks and increased competition had seen mortgage interest rates fall from already low levels.
In the statement, the Reserve Bank warned that if the housing market continued to gather steam, there was a risk of a stronger pick-up in household credit and rising house price inflation. Higher house prices and greater household spending was likely to lead to higher inflation than is currently projected.
"All else equal, such a development could necessitate a higher official cash rate," the bank said. But government belt-tightening and cautious spending by households and businesses were offsetting factors for the economy.
The high New Zealand dollar remained a "significant headwind" Wheeler said, restricting export earnings and encouraging demand for imports.
But the overall outlook was for stronger domestic demand and so "excess capacity" in the economy would be eliminated by the end of next year.
That was expected to see inflation rise gradually towards the 2 per cent mid-point of the central bank's target range.
Latest annual inflation was extremely low at 0.8 per cent, just below the bottom of the target range.
The bank was keeping close watch for any further "moderation" in inflation and was mindful of recent surprises with high unemployment at 7.3 per cent and low inflation.
But Wheeler also warned that with the reconstruction pick-up in investment "now clearly underway", the bank would also keep watch for higher inflation than presently assumed.
"On balance it remains appropriate for the OCR to be held at 2.5 per cent," Wheeler said.
The cash rate has been held at the historically low rate since March 2011, when it was dropped to help counter the impact of the Canterbury earthquake.
The bank's projection for 90-day bank bills remains flat for all of next year, before gradually turning up early in 2014, but only reaching 3.3 per cent by early 2015, compared with about 2.7 per cent recently. The track for 90-day rates is slightly flatter than in September's Monetary Policy Statement.
While unemployment was up to 7.3 per cent in official figures the Reserve Bank said that was overstating the worsening picture and that the economy continued to expand, albeit slowly.
Housing investment is projected to be up almost 20 per cent in the year to March 2013, jumping 29 per cent in the following March year as the Canterbury rebuild ramps up.
The Reserve Bank is also projecting economic growth of 2.2 per cent in the year to March 2013, and then 2.8 per cent in the following March year.
Unemployment is expected to fall from 7.1 per cent in March 2013, to 5.9 per cent in the March quarter in 2014.
But the Reserve Bank holds out no relief in sight for exporters, with the New Zealand dollar expected to remain high for the next few years. That would continue to dampen export earnings and encourage imports with import volumes expected to remain high.

To quote the ABC News article from a few days ago:
"Knies's doctors say that in rare instances, a patient can break the 'biological rules.' But most often in those cases, the initial pathology of the tumor was suspect.
"'In her case, the pathology was 'not controversial,' according to her surgeon, Dr. Robert Spetzler, director of the Barrow Neurological Institute at Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center in Phoenix.
"In his 35 years as a neurosurgeon in the United States, Spetzler said he has never seen such a triumph against a stage 4 glioblastoma.
"'It's one of the most malignant tumors there is,' he said. 'Invariably it will come back and pop up somewhere else in the brain and it's uniformly fatal.'
"'It's not unheard of that that a few survive -- it's a bell curve and there are outliers,' he said. 'But in her case, not only has she survived, but she is perfectly normal and there is absolutely no evidence of a tumor on her MRI scan.'
"Knies has a few of her own theories for why she is still alive today.
"'One, being God had a plan for me,' said Knies. 'I also had a great team of doctors and wonderful family and friends with a positive attitude.'
"'The mind is so much more powerful than anyone can imagine,' she said. 'People believe that when they get cancer, it will kill them. But I never once thought that.'"
When, as is so often the case, people *don't* recover from cancer, if there are religious believers around, one hears a lot of dancing around the question, in the form of the following:
1. God is not a magician, performing tricks at our request.
2. If the patient had had more faith, he might have lived.
3. God actually did heal the patient--by taking him to heaven.
4. Cancer and all other ills are the result of the Fall of Man. One day, in Heaven, all diseases will be merely a memory.
Or, as was the case when my little niece died of a brain tumor at age 4 some years ago, her Christian parents were anxiously consulting their pastor as to whether she had reached "the age of accountability" (meaning, could she have been "saved' and gone to Heaven, even though they had never actually heard her say she had "accepted Jesus in her heart").
Rather dismayingly to me, as an atheist, I have come to expect to hear, from some other atheists, thinking that is just as hackneyed and unoriginal, on the order of the following:
1. The doctors misdiagnosed her cancer to begin with. She never was as sick as they thought.
2. The tumor only appears to be gone. It will come back, and she will die.
3. People recover from cancer for all sorts of reasons.
4. You're probably a closet religious believer for even posting something like this in the first place.
In the present case, I would expect the religious person to say something like the following:
"You heard the doctor--she's not just cancer-free (and still fertile) but there's no evidence of a tumor, which he implies is unique. Only a supernatural healing could wipe the slate clean like that."
My answer as an atheist is
"That a flesh-and-blood tumor disappeared from a flesh-and-blood organism--a human body--is as much an argument that such events *are,* indeed possible in medicine, but by processes as yet unknown to scientists. To rule this impossible from the outset and place it 'across the line' in a 'spiritual world' by nature inaccessible to us is premature."
Finally, the whole thing reminds me of a question to which I posted an answer on Quora the other day. The question was "Will atheists start believing in God if God's existence is proven?" I wrote:
"Let's suppose that, contrary to atheists' belief, there really were a God, by which I mean:
"a) A being inherently above, beyond, and outside of the reality we know that consists of energy and matter, unmoved by that physical reality and yet able to pervade and affect it
"b) A being outside of time itself (which must follow from (a), since time is merely a physical dimension), such that linear time was, to this Being, like a thread running through the space inside a sphere
"c) A being possessed of the attributes of a mind, meaning that it had consciousness, intention, purpose, choice, etc.
"d) A being who was perfect in knowledge, wisdom, power, and the embodiment of whatever one took to be "the good"
"e) A being who, alone and unaided, and at its sole discretion, had brought into being the entire material universe that we know of
"Suppose such a being really existed. It is impossible for me to see how the existence of such a being could ever be *proven.*
"People who speak this way seem to have, at the back of their minds, the idea that if something is sufficiently amazing, 'well, then, if it's not done by human agency--it must be God!'
"But why?
"Suppose you met someone who said, 'You only exist in three dimensions of space and one of time, but I actually exist in five dimensions,' and he did something remarkable that you were convinced 'couldn't possibly' have been done 'by a human.'
"But suppose someone else walked up and said 'Don't listen to him; I exist in 10 dimensions,' and he suddenly did something even more remarkable, just as unlikely to have been achieved by 'mere humans.'
"And then suppose someone else walked up and said 'Those two are in kindergarten compared to me; I exist in 250 dimensions,' and he also did something unspeakably amazing.
"No human could have any way of judging between the claims of the three speakers since we only perceive in three dimensions of space and one of time. And these cases only suppose that a human is trying to distinguish the claims of beings still, like himself, within the bounds of the universe of energy and matter that we know.
"But suppose someone walked up to us and said 'I am an archangel, momentarily embodied; forget all this 'dimension' stuff; I am from a spiritual world above and beyond all 'dimensions.' The most advanced and complex creature in your physical universe is as an insect compared to me, and yet I am as a small child compared to our Father, the Creator of All.'
"Again, how could any human, or any sentient being within physical reality have any means of judging the truth or falsity of such a claim? There is none, that I can see.
"I think people talk this way because they've never really thought clearly about the implications of what they are saying."
Applying this to Knies's case, suppose the three people claiming to exist in 5, 10, and 250 dimensions walk up to us and each claims credit for her remarkable recovery. Suppose a fourth person walks up and says "Their claims are fraudulent. I am from the future, where we have discovered time travel and where treating even the deadliest of cancers is child's play. I came back to do this pro bono and to alert 21st-century doctors to what will one day be possible."
And then suppose the person claiming to be an archangel walks up and says "No, something like this could not have come from within the world of energy and matter; it was the work of our Father, who alone is capable of effecting such a healing work."
What basis would we have of judging among the five?
That is why, as an atheist, I think it's best to stick with certain basic principles. One is that no matter how unlikely something may seem in the physical world, it is an unwarranted leap to decide, right now, that science will *never* be able to explain or duplicate it, no matter how much we might learn and that it must, consequently, be from a "spiritual" world "on the other side" whose principles we can only dimly grasp.
It's understandable that people might think that way, but still fanciful, for all that.

Reshiram and Zekrom are said to represent the different sides of the Yin Yang, and Kyurem is said to represent emptiness..cold...
The cold hatred that was left when the twin brothers separated the single dragon that once represented unity.
But, now that dragon has returned!
As Tao Kyurem:
Yes, I know, a lot of people probably have done this already, and I also know that it's not the best. But I wanted to show it to the PokeCommunity so that I can hear some thoughts! Heck, maybe it'll inspire a better artist to make a Tao Kyurem themselves;
The dragon will return to its true glory!
About 80% custom
I made the head, the tail, the arms, and I heavily edited the torso of Zekrom, and added the legs of White Kyurem.
This is the first sprite I've actually put a lot of effort in, and I'm quite proud of it :D
