Australian court hierarchy
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Australian court hierarchy consists of a variety of courts and tribunals at both the federal and state and territory levels, with the High Court being the highest court in the Australian judicial system.[1] A single body[2] of Australian common law is applied in the various Australian courts, and ultimately determined by the High Court now that appeals to the (British) Judicial Committee of the Privy Council have been abolished.[3]
Superior and inferior courts[edit]
The High Court has described the concept of a superior court (and associated 'notions derived from the position of pre-Judicature common law courts') as having 'no ready application in Australia to federal courts.'[4] Despite this, Australian courts are frequently characterised as either 'superior' or 'inferior.' The Federal Court[5] and the Supreme Courts of each State and Territory are generally considered to be superior courts.
There is no single definition of the term 'superior court' (or 'superior court of record'). In many respects Australian superior courts are similar to the Senior Courts of England and Wales. In Australia, superior courts generally:
- have unlimited jurisdiction in law and equity,[6] or at least are not subject to jurisdictional limits as to the remedies they may grant;
- determine appeals, at least as part of their jurisdiction;
- are composed of judges whose individual decisions are not subject to judicial review[7] or appeal to a single judge;
- are composed of judges entitled to the style and title The Honourable Justice; and
- regularly publish their decisions in written form.
Inferior courts are those beneath superior courts in the appellate hierarchy, and are generally seen to include the Magistrates and District (or County) Court of each State as well as the Federal Circuit Court. Inferior courts are typically characterised by:
- jurisdiction conferred by statute and limited as to subject matter or the quantum of relief; and
- amenability to judicial review by a single judge of a superior court where a right of appeal is not available.
Federal courts[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (September 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
These courts among them have jurisdiction over Commonwealth law, that is, law made by the Federal parliament of Australia.
High Court of Australia[edit]
The High Court is the highest court in Australia. It was created by section 71 of the Constitution.[8] It has appellate jurisdiction over all other courts. It also has some original jurisdiction, and has the power of constitutional review. The High Court of Australia is the superior court to all federal courts, and is also the final route of appeal from all state superior courts.[9]
Appeals to the High Court are by special leave only, which is rarely granted. Therefore, for most cases, the appellate divisions of the Supreme Courts of each state and territory and the Federal Court are the ultimate appellate courts. The Full Court of the High Court is the ultimate appeal court for Australia.
Appeals from Australian courts to the Privy Council were initially possible, however the Privy Council (Limitation of Appeals) Act 1968 closed off all appeals to the Privy Council in matters involving federal legislation, and the Privy Council (Appeals from the High Court) Act 1975 closed almost all routes of appeal from the High Court. The Australia Act 1986 eliminated appeals from state Supreme Courts to the Privy Council. Appeals from the High Court to the Privy Council are now only theoretically possible in inter se matters with leave of the High Court under section 74 of the Constitution; however, the High Court has indicated it will not grant such leave in the future.
Federal Court of Australia[edit]
The Federal Court primarily hears matters relating to corporations, trade practices, industrial relations, bankruptcy, customs, immigration and other areas of federal law. The court has original jurisdiction in these areas, and also has the power to hear appeals from a number of tribunals and other bodies (and, in cases not involving family law, from the Federal Circuit Court of Australia.)
The court is a superior court of limited jurisdiction, but below the High Court of Australia in the hierarchy of federal courts, and was created by the Federal Court of Australia Act in 1976.
Decisions of the High Court are binding on the Federal Court. There is an appeal level of the Federal Court (the "Full Court" of the Federal Court), which consists of several judges, usually three but occasionally five in very significant cases.
Family Court of Australia[edit]
The Family Court has jurisdiction over family law matters. It is a superior court of limited jurisdiction and was established in 1975 by the Family Law Act 1975 by the federal parliament. The Commonwealth has power over marriage and divorce under the Constitution. In the 1990s the states referred many of their powers over children of non-married couples to the Commonwealth, which added this power to the Family Court.
Uniquely among the states, Western Australia took up the option of establishing its own Family Court in 1975, and in that state all jurisdiction under the Family Law Act 1975 is exercised by the Family Court of Western Australia and not the Family Court of Australia.
The Family Court is a specialist family law court, involving parental disputes, matrimonial property, child support and other family-related laws. The principles of stare decisis (binding law from higher courts) are the same as for the Federal Court. Appeals from the Family Court are heard by a "Full Court" of the Family Court (three to five judges). Appeals from the Full Court lie to the High Court of Australia, though special leave is required. A single judge of the Family Court may hear appeals in family law matters from the Federal Circuit Court of Australia. Appeals from the Federal Circuit Court must go to either of these courts (Federal Court or Family Court), dependent on the area of law.
Decisions of the Full Court of the Federal and Family Courts are binding on Federal Circuit Court judges, as are decisions of these courts on appeal from a Federal Circuit Court judge. In other circumstances, decisions of a single Federal or Family Court judge are not strictly binding; however, these will usually be followed by sentencing.
State and territory courts[edit]
|This section does not cite any sources. (September 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Each state and territory has a court hierarchy of its own, with the jurisdictions of each court varying from state to state and territory to territory. However, all states and territories have a Supreme Court, which is a superior court of record and is the highest court within that state or territory. These courts also have appeal divisions, known as the Full Court or Court of Appeal of the Supreme Court (in civil matters), or the Court of Criminal Appeal (in criminal matters.)
Decisions of the High Court are binding on all Australian courts, including state and territory Supreme Courts.
The state and territory courts can sometimes exercise federal jurisdiction (i.e. rule on matters subject to federal legislation.) However, an attempt by the states and the Commonwealth to pass legislation that would cross-vest state judicial powers in the Federal courts was struck down by the High Court in Re Wakim [1999] HCA 27 as being unconstitutional. Notwithstanding this failure, however, both state and federal courts can exercise an "accrued jurisdiction," which enables them to hear all legal issues arising from a single set of facts. This enables all courts to deal with virtually all issues arising from the facts of a case, provided that the particular court has jurisdiction to hear the principal cause of action.
Most of the states have two further levels of courts, which are comparable across the country. The district court (or county court in Victoria) handles most criminal trials for less serious indictable offences, and most civil matters below a threshold (usually around $1 million). The magistrates court (or local court) handles summary matters and smaller civil matters. In jurisdictions without district or county courts, most of those matters are dealt with by the supreme courts. In Tasmania and the two mainland territories, however, there is only a Magistrates Court below the Supreme Court.
In the three external territories (that is, territories not directly forming part of the Commonwealth of Australia but administered by the Commonwealth) there is a supreme court and a magistrates court or court of petty sessions. The supreme courts are staffed by judges of other courts, usually the Federal Court. Appeals from those courts lie to the full Federal Court. As these territories have very small populations, the courts only sit from time to time as needed. The three external territories are Norfolk Island, Christmas Island and Cocos (Keeling) Islands.
The remaining external territories (including Antarctica) do not have permanent courts. In the event of a case arising from these territories, the courts of the ACT have jurisdiction.

The Black Health Care Coalition Screens The Gripping Documentary, Unnatural Causes
For Immediate Release:
April 22, 2009
April 22, 2009
Contact: Lorenzo Butler
The Black Health Care Coalition Screens The Gripping Documentary, Unnatural Causes
On Saturday, May 2, at 2 p.m. at the L.H. Bluford Branch, 3050 Prospect Ave., the Library and the Black Health Care Coalition screen two parts of the documentary series, Unnatural Causes. The BHCC will provide boxed lunches between screenings of In Sickness and in Wealth and Place Matters.
The filmmakers crossed the country, investigating the stories and findings that are shaking up conventional notions about what makes people healthy or sick. The documentary also sheds light on mounting evidence of how lack of access to power and resources can get under the skin and disrupt human biology as surely as germs and viruses.
The Black Health Care Coalition, a non-profit organization founded in 1989, is comprised of lay individuals and health professionals. Its mission is to decrease the disparity of health status between the majority and minority communities through health advocacy, education, screenings, and promotion. Additionally, the BHCC is striving to build a cohesive health referral network while encouraging minority youth to become knowledgeable consumers of health care and pursue careers in the industry.
The event is co-sponsored by the Kansas City, Mo. Health Department and the Kansas City, Mo. Health Commission. Admission is free. Call 816.701.3407 to indicate your interest in attending or you may RSVP online.

On the other hand, the book is agonizing in its redundancy, often repeating the same examples many times over to make precisely the same point as the first time the example was used. I'm inclined to think that virtually everything Sinek wrote could have been stated in a 20-page article without leaving out anything important. I daresay it might be possible to do it in five pages. That's part of the beauty of the idea: it's incredibly simple while still being astoundingly powerful. But Sinek doesn't seem to have bothered taking the time to distill the idea down into its essence for straightforward presentation in this book. It reads a little bit like he took articles from his blog, stuck them in a large word-processing document, did some minor editing, and submitted the thing as-is for publication in order to create this book.
So, the idea is worth the cost of the book and the time to read it, but the book itself is, in my humble opinion, very poorly organized and needlessly long.
I would advise those who are interested in Sinek's ideas save themselves a great deal of time and a little expense by first watching his TED Talk:
This covers virtually all the core ideas involved. The one thing Sinek never does either in this presentation or in his book is spell out what "HOW" is. It's a bit confusing in large part because it's different for each of the two communication structures.Read more ›
The genius of simple and powerful ideas is that they are easy to get (if difficult to see until illuminated) and for this Sinek deserves 5 stars - but here he labours that beautifully simple nugget and tortures the reader with such repitition. We get it! (If there was a dollar for every time he says "people don't buy what you do they buy why you do it" you could buy many copies of the book! I actually have the audio book - read by Sinek and it all gets overlaboured and smug. How dumb does he think his audience is? My advice - watch the tead talk - skip the book - as it fails on his why - 'to inspire'!
Sinek's "start with why" premise and catchy "golden circle" approach to business may sound great on the surface, but even minute consideration reveals that there is no underlying theory supporting his claims. Perhaps it's because "Begin with a deliverable company creed" is solid advice which requires no explanation or examples, but Sinek is stretching himself thin on a premise that cant be supported: He found a catchy slogan that relates to the majority of what he wants to discuss, and spends an entire book attempting to make his examples fit his theme. Needless to say, it doesn't work. Look no further than his attempt to correlate the diversity of Apple products with the success of the Wright Brothers under the universally simplistic heading of "why," and you will unequivocally understand that Sinek's premise needs some major revision.
The philosophy:
If you've come to this book looking for a business philosophy that will actually take you to the heart of why, you have come to the wrong place. Sinek, like most of the business world, has mistaken "what" for "why." Although Sinek will insist that he has not made this vital error by assuring his readers that "everyone knows what they do, but hardly anyone knows why they do it," it seems that Sinek himself doesn't even know how to find the why! Sinek is among the many, many writers and critics who ask - not why - but "What makes you different?" The Wright Brothers believed in the power of flight to unite the world. Apple believes in the power of the personal computing device to empower the individual, bringing the world and knowledge to each of us.Read more ›
For those faced with competition, price-war and customer churn, Sinek's book can provide great insights for developing a new long-term strategy to combat these issues once-and-for-all. Sinek explains that while your product's features may be replicated and commoditized, no one can copy the kinship and confidence that your customers feel when doing business with you. This is because those feelings come from intangible values and beliefs that only you share with your customers.
How does one create such kinship with customers? The book explains the Golden Circle concept, which shows business leaders how to inspire instead of manipulating customers or employees to act. Sinek explains that trust is built naturally when you target customers that understand and believe in your WHY. So, if getting repeat and word-of-mouth business is important to you, then use inspiration, not manipulation to get the sale. Also, when business leaders properly articulate their company's WHY to employees, it makes it easier for the employees to believe in what they are selling. When sales reps sound authentic, it builds trust and loyalty with customers. It all starts with WHY.Read more ›

WASHINGTON -- Pentagon officials typically dismiss suggestions that private security contractors in Iraq are rogue actors.
While agreeing with none of those labels, Defense Secretary Robert Gates was anything but dismissive in acknowledging to Congress on Wednesday that the Pentagon may have a problem with security contractors.
"My concern is whether there has been sufficient accountability and oversight," Gates told the Senate Appropriations Committee, adding that he has dispatched a small team of officials from the Pentagon to Baghdad to gather more facts.
It's not that the Pentagon lacks the authority to control its contractors, Gates said, nor that private hires have misbehaved in large numbers. What may be lacking, Gates said, is sufficient resources and information for the U.S. commanders in Iraq whose responsibility it is to oversee the contractors.
Gates said he began probing the military's relationship with its contractors after 11 Iraqis were killed Sept. 16 in a shooting involving Blackwater contractors protecting a U.S. diplomatic convoy in Baghdad.

"The Hunger Games" films may soon have a Japanese competitor as Takashi Miike gets Toho green light for "As God Says" ("Kamisama no lu Tori".)
Top Japanese film group, Toho will make a two-part sci-fi-horror pic based on the popular 1990s comic "Parasyte," having won a fierce bidding war after New Line ceded its rights.
Toho Cinemas, which operates the biggest theater chain in Japan, has ended its ticket price cuts trial.
Toho was Japan's top-earning distrib in the first half of 2010 with a box office of $289 million, according to figures compiled by the Bunka Tsushin entertainment news service.
Toho, Japan's biggest distrib and exhib, has unveiled a 30-pic line-up for 2010 that promises stiff competition for Hollywood in the already difficult Japanese market.
Distrib Toho and its partners have decided to advance screen the last pic of the smash hit "20th Century Boys" sci-fi action trilogy minus its ending.
Citing the rapid digitalization of the U.S. biz where 3-D digtal pics are becoming the norm, exhibs Toho and Kadokawa Group Holdings are partnering to convert their screens in Japan to digital…

Toho has filed suit against DVD distrib Cosmo Coordinate in Tokyo District Court, seeking ¥120 million ($1.2 million) in damages from Cosmo, which has been making and selling cut-price DVDs of Akira…
After getting off to a slow start, distrib Toho finished 2007 with a B.O. bang, setting a new company record of 59.5 billion yen ($561.4 million), for a 2.2% year-on gain.

This time of year it can be tough to get the perfect day for outdoor activities, let alone a graduation. While Wednesday won't be perfect, it will be pretty nice for the Air Force Academy Graduation.
The morning will start cloudy, but we should start to see increasing sunshine after 9 or 10 a.m. Temperatures will be a little cool to start (lower 50's), but should manage the lower 60's by the time the T-Birds fly over.
So, if you have plans to attend, take a jacket, but be prepared to shed it by midday.

Tina Gaudoin Leaves WSJ.
The glossy editor is returning to London.
When WSJ editor Tina Gaudoin was appointed in 2008, we remarked that it didn't seem like she was cut out for the job. Not because she didn't have enough luxury journalism experience — she had oodles of that — but because she didn't have a "ridiculously over-the-top personality and outrageously self-demanding personal (and sartorial) daily regimen." In our experience, that's what you need to run a high-end glossy. It doesn't work when you are a normal person, as Gaudoin proved herself to be when she gave up the editorship of the British women's mag Frank to "have a second baby and spend more time with her then 2-year-old son" in 1998. And now, we learn from WWD, the real world has intruded on Gaudoin's career once again.
She's leaving WSJ., the Journal's glossy luxury title, for "personal reasons," and will return to London to rejoin her husband in August. "It was just not sustainable," she told WWD. "It's been a great privilege to work here and it was a hard decision for me." This won't affect the future of the title, her bosses say, and she'll stick around to help pick her successor. "WSJ. is a phenomenal success, which is why we have increased both the print run and the frequency of the magazine," said Journal top editor Robert Thomson. "Feedback from readers has been very positive and our plan is to continue to increase the frequency in coming years." Let the guessing game about who will take over the gig begin! Let's start by naming all the people who didn't get the top job at rival T, which Sally Singer snagged earlier this month. Horacio Silva and Anne Christensen, all eyes are on you ...

7th Heaven patriarch Stephen Collins is stopping by The Office.
Collins (No Ordinary Family) tweeted earlier today that he's doing a spot on the show, adding the cast is a "ridiculously fun & talented group, including @Rainnwilson who I worked w/in his 1st job in '89 in the Park." The actor will play Andy Bernard's (Ed Helms) father on the show.
And who will play Andy's mom? EW can exclusively report that role goes to Dee Wallace (E.T, Sons & Daughters).
The news comes on the heels of EW learning that The Office is looking to keep the much-discussed manager post in the family. See that interview with Office showrunner Paul Lieberstein and new boss James Spader here.

Studying Children: A Cultural-Historical Approach / Edition 1by Marianne Hedegaard, Marilyn Fleer
Pub. Date: 12/01/2008
Publisher: McGraw-Hill Professional Publishing
The authors discuss the complexities of child development, providing a critique of alternative perspectives of research and notions of development./i>
Studying Children is the first book of its kind to offer a theoretical and practical discussion of how to undertake research using cultural-historical theory when researching the everyday lives of children.
The authors discuss the complexities of child development, providing a critique of alternative perspectives of research and notions of development. They provide a number of case studies following researchers in early childhood as they move from a developmental approach to a cultural-historical framework for observing and planning for young children.
The chapters:
- Provide a solid framework for understanding the foundations of this approach
- Address the importance of viewing research as an interactive technique
- Offer guidance on how to collect and interpret material
- Show how to make observations of and interviews with children, within a dialectical research approach
- Present examples of how to write and present findings using this technique
The book is rich with examples of how to undertake specific methods, such as surveys, experiments, case studies, digital video observations, interviews, and children as researchers.
Studying Children is a valuable resource for academics, researchers and students working in the field of Early and Middle Childhood at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but, I'm having a issue with Premiere Pro CS6 from Creative Cloud. Whenever I put footage in the timeline this happens: . The file's encoding is fine and it happens with every file. I'm running it on a MacBook Pro Retina. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could try and get Premiere working?

It looks like a problem with the playback engine. I would try updating your video card drivers and/or making sure the playback engine (in the project/ project settings/general menu) is set to Mercury Playback Engine Software Only. If that doesn't work, I'd try uninstalling and re-installing Premiere.
I don't know what can cause it on Mac OS, but on Windows seeing something from another application through a portion of a window is generally a sign of a graphics driver being misconfigured or misused by the software in question.

Washington, DC 20590
About half of traffic fatalities occur at night, although only about one quarter of travel occurs after dark. Although intoxication and fatigue contribute to the high rate of nighttime crashes, nighttime driving is inherently hazardous because of decreased driver visibility.
Adequately maintained retroreflective signs and pavement markings improve nighttime highway visibility and reduce the risk of crashes by bouncing light from vehicle headlights off of the traffic control device and back toward the vehicle and the driver's eyes. This makes signs and markings appear brighter and easier to see and read at night. Because the retroreflective properties of traffic control devices deteriorate over time, highway agencies need to actively manage the maintenance of signs and pavement markings in order to ensure that they are clearly visible at night.
Roadway lighting is another means to increase visibility for drivers and other roadway users. Properly designed roadway lighting allows road users to quickly assess roadway conditions and creates a safer environment within the roadway vicinity. New technologies to reduce the long-term costs of lighting need to be balanced with understanding and addressing the needs of the road user.
Use the links below to obtain pertinent information related to these three important areas that impact nighttime visibility. The subject areas are grouped as follows:

I have the longest history with this card and had a $10,000 when it was secured. As of right now all my BOA cards together only have a 7,000 limit which is nothing. My brother and I use the cards for our business and charged almost $75K since NOV 2011 and paid off in full the entire amount..
Any suggestions ??
WOW. I'm surprised you were approved for that many cards without being declined over inquiries. I wouldn't lay low I'd bury myself to stay out of view with that many new accounts. At the same time you bring me some comfort knowing I didn't go overboard with my applications and new accounts.

A St. Paul man has pleaded guilty to shooting and killing his girlfriend while she sat in the back of an SUV with their infant son.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press reports 19-year-old Timothy Hendricks entered the plea Wednesday and said he was too high to remember what he did. He's charged with murder and attempted second-degree murder in the death of 20-year-old Michelle Ploetz in April.
Their 8-month-old son was between them in a car seat at the time. Prosecutors say Ploetz's father got out of the car and ran away after Hendricks also shot him.
Hendricks told police he was addicted to drugs and was hearing voices when he shot Ploetz.
Prosecutors dropped a previous felony assault charge against him as part of the plea.

Written by Jen Finn
ATLANTA -- A small, but determined effort is underway to convince Gov. Nathan Deal to veto legislation that would protect the red drum, or red fish, from commercial fishing.
However, a representative of the Coastal Conservation Association said Thursday its members are confident Deal will sign House Bill 36 into law. The measure, sponsored by Rep. Ben Watson, R-Savannah, prohibits commercial harvesting by declaring the species a game fish.
Robert Morrissey, known around Savannah as Capt. Bob, wrote Deal requesting a veto and urging the Department of Natural Resources to set a smaller daily limit instead.
"Gov. Deal, you can do more with one stroke of your pen to protect the redfish from overfishing," Morrissey wrote. "As chief executive officer for the state of Georgia, order the DNR to reduce the daily creel limit from five to three fish per day."
The Conservation Association pushed for the game-fish designation to preserve a fish that's popular with sportsmen for the way it fights when caught. The 1,800-member organization argues that the economic impact of tourism is greater than the few hundred pounds of fish sold commercially each year.

Treasury Yields Touch 2-Year Highs as U.S. Economy Strengthens
Treasury yields reached two-year highs as reports showed a strengthening jobs market and a gain in economic indicators, suggesting the recovery is strong enough for the Federal Reserve to begin withdrawing monetary stimulus.
The yield on the benchmark 10-year note was little changed after climbing to 2.93 percent, the most since July 2011. Minutes of the Fed's last policy meeting released yesterday showed officials are comfortable with a plan to start reducing bond buying later this year if the economy improves. The U.S. sold $16 billion of five-year Treasury Inflation Protected Securities at the highest yield since 2010.
"Economic growth is continuing at a moderate pace," said Guy LeBas, chief fixed-income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott LLC in Philadelphia, which oversees $11 billion in fixed-income assets. "We've pretty much priced in the effects of the Fed slowing down bond buying later this year."
Ten-year yields dropped less than one basis point, or 0.01 percentage point, to 2.89 percent at 4:59 p.m. New York time, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The 2.5 percent benchmark note due in August 2023 rose 2/32, or 63 cents per $1,000 face amount, to 96 21/32.
The 30-year bond yield slipped five basis points to 3.87 percent after touching 3.94 percent, the most since August 2011.
Relative Strength
An indicator of momentum used by some dealers signaled that the long bond was approaching oversold levels yesterday. The 14-day relative-strength index for the 30-year security dropped to 63, from 68 yesterday. A level above 70 indicates it has climbed too much. The last time it exceeded that level was July 5, which was followed by a two-week rally.
Treasury trading volume at ICAP Plc, the largest inter-dealer broker of U.S. government debt, rose to $369 billion, from $360 billion yesterday. The figure is down from a 2013 high of $662 billion reached on May 22 and up from a low of $148 billion on Aug. 9. The 2013 average is $313.4 billion.
Treasuries have lost investors 3.9 percent this year, according to Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index.
U.S. government securities due in a decade and longer plunged 14 percent in the 12 months through yesterday, the biggest loss of 174 debt indexes tracked by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies.
"The market is saying that the Fed will be tapering," said Michael Franzese, senior vice president of fixed-income trading at ED&F Man Capital Markets in New York. "Everybody is trying to get ahead of everybody else, that's what's perpetuating this downward spiral. The market is way ahead of itself."
Leading Indicators
The number of jobless claims in the month ended Aug. 17 declined to 330,500 a week on average, the least since November 2007, a Labor Department report showed. Compared with a week earlier, claims rose by 13,000 to 336,000, in line with the median forecast of 48 economists surveyed by Bloomberg.
The index of U.S. leading indicators rose in July by the most in three months, showing the world's largest economy will improve in the second half of 2013. The Conference Board's gauge of the outlook for the next three to six months increased 0.6 percent after no change the prior month, the New York-based group said. The median forecast in a Bloomberg survey of economists called for a 0.5 percent advance.
The Fed's debate over when to taper $85 billion in monthly bond buying has roiled financial markets around the world and sparked a selloff in fixed-income assets. The Fed today purchased $1.496 billion in Treasuries maturing from February 2036 to February 2043.
TIPS Auction
The TIPS sold today yielded negative 0.127 percent, the highest yield since April 2010, with investors wary of paying a premium to guard against the threat of rising consumer prices. The last sale, an $18 billion offering on April 18, drew a yield of negative 1.311 percent, the second-lowest on record, after the securities sold at a record negative 1.496 percent in December 2012.
"There are still difficult times ahead for TIPS, as there is caution from investors in reengaging the market fully after the big selloff we've seen," said Carlos Pro, an interest-rate strategist at primary dealer Credit Suisse Group AG in New York. "There is a challenging outlook for inflation, with disinflation still a risk in the U.S. And that backdrop combines with the likely September taper from the Fed."
TIPS have fallen 9.4 percent in 2013, set for the steepest annual loss since they were first sold in 1997, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
Demand Metrics
Investors bid for 2.18 times the amount offered at today's sale, the same as the April auction of the securities and the lowest level since October 2008. The average at the past 10 sales was 2.77.
Indirect bidders, which include foreign central banks, purchased 38.2 percent of the sale, the lowest level since August 2012. Direct bidders purchased 8.1 percent, compared with the average of 8.9 percent for the past 10 sales.
The Fed has said it plans to keep benchmark interest rates near zero at least as long as the unemployment rate is above 6.5 percent and inflation is no more than 2.5 percent.
The U.S. will auction $34 billion in two-year notes on Aug. 27, the first cut in the offering size after selling $35 billion of the securities each month since October 2010.
"One billion dollars is not huge, but the deficit is coming down," said David Coard, head of fixed-income trading in New York at Williams Capital Group, a brokerage for institutional investors. "The funding needs are fading."
Offering Reduction
The U.S. is scheduled to sell $35 billion in five-year notes on Aug. 28 and $29 billion in seven-year debt the next day, with the size of both maturities unchanged since 2010.
The Treasury Department said July 31 it expects to gradually decrease coupon-auction sizes during the coming quarter as the nation's fiscal health improves.
The Federal budget deficit for July was $97.6 billion, bringing the total for fiscal 2013, which ends Sept. 30, to $607.4 billion, the lowest to date since 2008, the Treasury said on Aug. 12.
Primary dealers expected the Fed to reduce the pace of its asset purchases in September by $15 billion, to $70 billion a month, a July survey showed.
The median forecast in the survey by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York saw the central bank buying $35 billion of Treasuries and $35 billion of mortgage-backed securities next month, according to the survey conducted before the Federal Open Market Committee's July 30-31 meeting. The FOMC's next meeting is scheduled for Sept. 17-18.

MP wakes up to seed replacement

A low seed replacement rate (SRR) was one of the main reasons for low productivity in Madhya Pradesh but the realisation has finally dawned on farmers in the agrarian state. SRR is a measure of how much of the total area of crop has been sown with certified, quality seeds rather than farm-saved seeds.
MP's SRR for main crops such as soybean and wheat has increased over the last couple of years, and is inching towards 33 per cent. Since certified seeds cost more, MP farmers had been avoiding them unlike their counterparts in states such as Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra, where the SRR is higher.
Several seed cooperative societies have come up in recent times, ensuring a steady supply of certified seeds. From 174 primary societies in 2005-2006, the number has increased to 2,048. Of these, 622 are members of the MP State Cooperative Seed Production and Marketing Federation Ltd that was formed in 2004. The federation provides breeder seeds to these cooperatives and in turn markets seeds they produce. In 2006, the federation procured 780 quintals and 679 quintals breeder seeds from these societies for kharif and rabi crops respectively. In 2012-13, the corresponding figures are 2,200 and 3,500 quintals.
It's the certified seeds (those that are cultivated, monitored and certified by official agencies) where the numbers are very impressive. From the 2.11 lakh quintals produced from 19,802 hectares in 2006, the corresponding figures in 2011-12 were a record production of 10.29 lakh quintals from 98,814 hectares.
A low SRR in pulses continues to be a source of concern in MP, the country's pulse bowl. The average all-India acreage of pulses is 230.87 lakh hectare. In 2006-07, the distribution of certified/quality seeds for the pulses crop was 9.63 lakh quintals. The SRR, 10.41 per cent, rose in 2010-11 to 22.51 per cent with the distribution of 20.83 lakh quintals.
