Hi, is there a way to have this addon go through all the movies in our database and have it write imdb tags to all our movies (Using IMDB tags)?
EDIT: I think IMDB calles them Plot Keywords.

yes there is a way to look at all of your movies on imdb. The problem is, when you go over 100 movies on imdb watch list, it displays it on more than one page. this add-on only looks at the 1rst page only.
The way you can fix this is by going to your imdb watch list and go to the bottom of the page and click page 2. once you're on your second page, copy that URL in the add-on settings. it should add the 2nd page of 100 movies. you can do this up to 500 movies i guess.(limitations of 5 URL)
It's kind of a flaw for this add-on to look at the http://www.imdb.com. it could be unlimited if it looked at the RSS feed. Plus it would simplify it. Hopefully we will see this on future releases.
...i realize this post is really old but i just spent hours trying to figure this out. hopefully this will help someone else.

Fixed for Kodi 14 and 15, removed Trakt and Music. Use RSS instead of the normal URL - see OP. Have also submitted to the official repo now, so should be much easier to install and manage.

Really love your addon, thank you.
Can we hope on getting more than 5 URL to add more watchlists?
As a Watchlist fan, I really love to add much more lists and watch them growing with my database over the time.
Also have a question, when running as a service.
I set the refresh-interval-hours to 96, which should be ok for my database.
I turn off my OpenElec RP2 Kodi from time to time for a couple of days.
What happens to the counter (96 hours) then? Does it start all over or does it continue or will it eventually skip the database update?
possible to add https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_st...ed_Kingdom
to the "URLs that we will be searching for comedians" (from main.py) ?

Thank you
I have to upgrade some stuff at home before I can release an official update to the repo, but in case you feel like getting friendly with your pet python:
a) More watchlists is easy; have a look at line 13 of settings.xml, just add another value to that enum, ie:
<setting label="30905" visible="eq(-1,true)" default="1" type="enum" id="32099" values="1|2|3|4|5|6"/>
this would give you one more. Then add a pair of these ones at the end of that list (these would become line 24 and 25, with /category being line 26)
<setting label="30906" type="text" visible="gt(-9,3) + eq(-10,true)" id="32054" default="http://rss.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/watchlist"/>
<setting label="30903" type="text" visible="gt(-10,3) + eq(-11,true)" id="32084" default="DefaultText"/>
just increment the id (not the label) ie 32054 becomes 32055 and 32084 becomes 32085. Wash, rinse repeat. The code keeps on taking URLs until the number it gets from line 13 is reduced 0. So long as you increment the ids, it will keep on finding the next one.
Good point. The timer is pretty basic (read: not very clever). It's just a big number that gets slowly smaller. If the device is sleeping I have to imagine that the number is not getting smaller. I could implement a date-based version. Good idea.
I think I did - if something isn't matching there are a few possibilities. First though i should explain that all I'm doing for Standup is searching for 'movies' containing the comedians name in the title. This protects me from all the false positives where comedians become actors and visa versa. But it makes a big assumption: comedian name in title. The wiki URLs I'm searching are on 349-353 of main.py (feel free to add more):
Some possibilities: wiki has changed their formatting and it broke my regex, comedian name is somehow irregular (dashes, three names, one name etc) and my regex isn't smart enough to recognise this, movie title does not contain comic name, etc. See if you can narrow it down a little - also try the debug option - it will give you a lot of info. Then just search your XBMC log for all the 'teg-gen' entries. Are other UK comics being tagged? How about other titles for this comic? Is his/her name in the title? Comics from other regions? You get the idea.

Thank you :-)
I was looking at the source code and tried to change something into something other, but now, with your explanaitions, I'll try again :)
Also, I'm not sure, what happens to my additions, when you update the addon in the repo and Kodi automaticly updates it on my system. I guess, my additions will be overwritten?
So I'd better contribute to your code at github, but I never have done this before and need to read some documentation first, which...will...take...some...time...
I asked, because I didn't saw the UK URL in the lines of main.py.
So I assumed, they're not checked, beside the listed ones, like US- or Aussie-ones.
But again, with your explanation, I found, that some of my StandUp-Movies does not contain the comedians name, so that could be a reason too.
I was thinking also, if it could be "better" to include the comedians name as an actor, but then we would end up with too many movies not being StandUpComedies, but bad movies, where the comedian showed up as an terrible actor ;-) So the way it is, is ok, imho.
here is my settings.xml which allows up to 19 Watchlists (limitation was given by the already existing ID 32099 and I didn't want to change the main.py atm)
I also changed the example-URLs from "http://rss.imdb.com/user/ur12345678/watchlist/" to "http://rss.imdb.com/list/ls012345678/" which seems to be the actual format now.

playing with some lists, I'd like to suggest a feature whish :-)
Add a RadioButton (or somewhat) to let the user chose what the given List contains. (klick on the links below to see)
IMDB Watchlist URL (rss): http://www.imdb.com/list/ls054398016/
Set this tag in Kodi: WL_FAV_DIRECTORS_TAG
Chose type of list: ( ) Actors (o) Directors ( ) Movie Titles
IMDB Watchlist URL (rss): http://www.imdb.com/list/ls058718139/
Set this tag in Kodi: WL_FAV_ACTORS_TAG

Hmmmm... nevermind. Must be something weird with fetching the data from IMDB... I restored the version, which had problems and its working right now as expected.... murphy...
U don't need to read the rest...
(when using the "write all tags" or "write IMDB tags" feature)
is it possible to specify this error message a little bit in the next releases of this useful addon?
I really don't know, where I can start my search for solving this error.
If its a rss URL from the config, the number or name would be good to see 8-)
Opening all the rss feeds from my config to the browser showed valid results.
So I'm stuck here...
I fiddled a little bit in with the settings and now I get a message:
Quote:03:06:01 T:7272 NOTICE: TAG-GEN: http://rss.imdb.com/list/ls004187379/ contains no IMDB IDs. Check URL and retry.but, when you open the list, you see, it has a lot of entries, so still no luck.
the log wasn't helpful either:
01:19:16 T:12048 NOTICE: Previous line repeats 1 times.
01:50:18 T:12048 WARNING: RunScript called for a non-script addon 'script.tag-generator'. This behaviour is deprecated.

glad you got it fixed - as a general rule, Debug Mode should make things more verbose (good for cases where a specific movie/standup isn't behaving as expected) and 'I found no IMDB IDs' means that either IMDB changed their website and it broke my regex, or somehow we have internet access but that page isn't loading any text for us to search. Sooner or later the former will happen.

Is there any chance that the Trakt option could be re-added? The trakt plugin no longer supports tagging from watchlists since v3.0.

Album Review
The Raspberries
' history was a study in joy mixed with frustration -- a well-nigh perfect power pop band that, through a combination of bad timing, record label lethargy, and personnel and personality conflicts, never quite lived up to its commercial promise, leaving behind three great albums and a fourth that was not as good, for a total of about three-dozen stunningly worthwhile songs. And one thing that they never did at the time was a live album, this despite the sterling accounts of their concerts, which were borne out in some of their surviving television clips. The ex-members must have looked on with astonishment as the band started getting written about as one of the most lamented losses of the 1970s, and their albums (especially the first three) soared in value on the collectors' market. Musical and personal differences, coupled with singer/principal composer
Eric Carmen
's successful post-band pop career, all conspired to rule out any kind of serious reunion until the end of the 1990s, and then that was delayed a while longer. It ultimately took until 2007 -- from a 2005 gig at the House of Blues in Los Angeles -- to get this long-awaited document of the group in concert released to the public. The tendency toward unbridled enthusiasm among fans might be somewhat tempered by the fact that a lot of latter-day reunions of this type don't amount to much more than the bandmembers going through the motions of impersonating their youth. But in this case the right participants are here:
Jim Bonfanti
on drums,
Wally Bryson
on lead guitar, and
Dave Smalley
on bass joining
(playing rhythm guitar and some piano) with a minimum of the usual extra help you often see in shows like this -- one female harmony singer and a very unobtrusive keyboard man -- but the core of the sound and all of the leads are the quartet's work.
The voices may have darkened in tone ever so slightly, but these guys can still sing their hearts out and play their asses off (and that goes double for
on the drums), and whether it's "I Wanna Be with You," "Tonight," "Nobody Knows," or any of the other band originals that they must have played a thousand times, or renditions of
the Who
's "I Can't Explain" or the
hit "Needles and Pins," they sound like they're putting 102 percent into it. The harmonies are all there, with no studio retraces or overdubs that are obvious, and everyone gets represented well -- the crowd can heard chanting "
Wally Bryson
" at one point, and he and
Dave Smalley
get their songs in; indeed,
's "Should I Wait" and
's "Come Around and See Me" and "Last Dance" are all unexpected highlights of a set that is pretty much filled with great moments. The only place where the band fails in what it does is on the harder-rocking numbers such as "Party's Over"; an artifact from their flawed fourth album, in which they tried to toughen up their sound, this and one or two other numbers show
the Raspberries
trying to be a hard rock band, something they never really were very good at. But those lapses don't detract from the overall value of the 21-song double-CD set. It would be wonderful if, say, a professionally recorded 1971-vintage
live show were to surface someday, but it's unlikely that such a live recording would capture the playing as well as this double-CD set does, the power and impact of the bass as well as the two guitars,
's drumming, and those still-superb harmonies.
Live on Sunset Strip
is accompanied by a booklet that's mostly devoted to song lyrics, and therein was found the set's only flaw: small stray ink blotches over some of the words. [The deluxe version of this album features a bonus five-song DVD of live performances from the same show that comprised the audio release -- here
Eric Carmen
is very much the focus, as the five songs featured are all written and sung by him, but the producers do their best to give
some good moments on camera.
handles that double-necked guitar as if he were born with it;
is an intense figure on the bass, breaking that stoicism when he throws in his harmony singing; and
Jim Bonfanti
looks like he's enjoying it all behind the drum kit. The only complaint is that one wishes the whole set had been released on DVD.]

Doom 4 was first announced in 2008, so you can forgive people for getting impatient. A YouTube video has appeared on the game trends site N4G, called 'Is this leaked video from Doom 4 trailer?'. The answer to that question is 'no, it's not.'
If you don't look too closely, the bleak alien landscape might look Doom-ish. Take a look.
An eagle eyed user called Akilwari recognized the footage from a Sci-Fi short called 'Archetype', by Aaron Sims.
Doom developers ID Software last shipped Rage, which didn't capture people's attention like Doom did in 1993. It's reported that Doom 4's development would follow Rage, but nothing has been seen or heard from it since.
Many fans are hoping for a move away from the claustrophobic corridors of Doom 3, and a return to the wider spaces of the first two games. This may explain why people would jump on this fake video's big landscape.
We're certainly excited about a new Doom game, and we'll keep our eyes open for any genuine information about it!

GULF SHORES, Ala. -- The Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shores should sell out within days, but there's already no room at the inn on May 20-22, according to festival organizers and rental agencies.
Crowds of 35,000 each day will enjoy lineups including Paul Simon, the Foo Fighters and Widespread Panic, and a number of alternative pop acts such as Flaming Lips and Cee Lo Green.
"We've out-booked anything here in the last 30 years," said Shaul Zislin, owner of The Hangout and founder of the music festival. "Many of the bands are bringing their families and staying longer, which is great for the area."
Condo units and hotels closest to The Hangout on the beach booked first, and as the vacancies disappeared at the Gulf, the music fans turned to Foley, Pensacola and Mobile for accommodations, according to rental agents.
Festival organizers spent $250,000 on lodging reserved for production, site staff, some vendors and a few VIPs, Zislin said. Most bands booked rooms at their own expense, he said.
There are 14,200 condo units at the Gulf and 1,942 hotel rooms, according to the Alabama Gulf Coast Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"We have a location advantage that other rentals don't have," said Marie Curren of Brett/Robinson in Orange Beach, which owns the Phoenix All-Suites hotel next to the Hangout. Brett/Robinson also built and manages Island Winds East and West, two condo towers on the beach next to the festival site. The company manages 2,000 rental units overall.
Zislin rented 90 percent of the rooms at Phoenix All Suites for production and ticket packages he's been selling, Curren said.
"Shaul has turned this weekend from a nothing pre-Memorial Day weekend with not a lot of people coming to one where the entire island is sold out," she said.
Brett/Robinson, Meyer Vacation Rentals and Kaiser Realty, both in Gulf Shores, are the accommodation sponsors for the festival. Each set aside a number of rooms for the festival organizers as early as February, said Sarah Kuzma of Meyer, which manages 1,650 rental units.
"When booking rooms for bands, it's not about the number of bedrooms, but how many beds are available in the unit," she said. "These artists are going to be so impressed with our beaches. It's really a chance to showcase our area to people that travel a lot and see a lot of pretty resorts. They will be pleasantly surprised to see our beaches."
Many of entertainers request rooms in gated communities and check in under aliases, according to Emily Gonzalez of Kaiser Realty, which manages 600 rentals.
The rental agencies provide the rooms and keep them clean, but if guests want amenities such as groceries in the units, the agencies call fridge filler services, Gonzalez said. The fridge fillers offer a variety of plans to stock a visitor's refrigerator, including organic or Kosher foods, she said.
"We want to make sure the guests are comfortable and their privacy is maintained," Gonzalez said. "And we want them to have an amazing experience here and spread the word that it's a great place."
Zislin said he has already booked rooms for next year's music festival.
"I think the rental agencies are going to be absolutely amazed how many people will reserve rooms ahead of time for next year," he said.

UPDATE: Former Mecosta County township officials plead no contest to sex assault, child abuse
MECOSTA COUNTY, MI - Two former Mecosta County township officials are headed toward trial on multiple sexual assault charges.
Jack Bark Sr., 70, and Cathleen Martin, 47, served as Fork Township supervisor and clerk, respectively, when deputies in August arrested the pair for alleged sexual assault incidents dating back to 2009. They resigned from their positions.
A district court judge on Tuesday, Oct. 29, decided there was sufficient evidence to send the cases to circuit court.
Two of the alleged victims are related to Martin and are sisters, authorities said. One of the girls contacted a school official in August.
Additional interviews conducted by authorities with the Mecosta County Sheriff's Department revealed a third person claimed to have been sexually abused by Bark.
Bark and Martin lived together, but Martin is married to someone else, deputies said. The two told authorities they live together for "medical reasons." They are Barryton residents.
Bark is charged with eight counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and three counts of second-degree criminal sexual conduct, according to court records.
Martin is charged with eight count of first-degree criminal sexual conduct and one count of second-degree child abuse, records show.
The pair remain lodged in Mecosta County Jail on a $5 million bond.

This meal is an American classic!
Sure, lots of the meals I make are variations on meals that traditionally contain gluten. However, I also make many that just happen to be gluten-free. Here's one of my favorites.
Grilled pork chops are an old stand-by. Cheap, easy to prepare, and delicious. I serve this version with steamed fresh broccoli and carrots, along with mashed white sweet potatoes. The result is a quick, delicious summertime meal that is easy on the budget and leaves plenty of calories for wine or a nice dessert.
3-4 Pork chops
12-16 broccoli or broccoli spears (3-4 per chop)
3-4 white sweet potatoes (cubed)
¼ cup butter
Splash of milk
Splash of Balsamic vinegar
Place pork chops on a hot grill (475-500 degrees)
After 1 minute or so, rotate chop 90-degrees.
Making sure chop is well-seared, after 1 more minute or so, flip chop. Repeat the process, rotating the chop 90-degrees again after about 1 minute.
For thicker shops, use longer sear times.
When chop is done, remove to a plate and let rest five minutes.
White Sweet Potatoes and Carrots:
Just before the putting the chops on the grill, place sweet potatoes and carrots on separate sides of a large steamer pot with hot water.
While chops cook, steam sweet potatoes until soft enough to easily slide a fork though.
Remove carrots when tender, but firm.
Place carrots in a dish with a bit of butter, and cover.
Place in a large bowl. Do not rinse.
While chops are resting, and before mashing sweet potatoes, place broccoli into steamer and cover.
Mash sweet potatoes.
Add butter and/or a splash of milk.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Place sweet potatoes on plates next to chops.
Remove broccoli when tender to fork.
Place on plates with chops.
Splash broccoli with aged balsamic vinegar.
Serves: 3-4 persons
Note: By 'white sweet potato," I do NOT mean the red-fleshed, orange-skinned tuber that Americans call a "Yam." I mean the white-fleshed, paler-skinned version that often appears alongside the at the market, both of which, according to botanists are actually sweet potatoes, not yams. Sweet potatoes are low-glycemic, which makes them ideal for diabetics. They also taste really good mashed with butter, salt and pepper.
And, yes, if you're feeling particularly potato-ish, you can use good old regular potatoes instead.

Earth Day 2011 is the 41st anniversary of the founding of a grassroots movement to explore the relationship with the Earth. As it has done for the past 11 years, PEEC, Los Alamos's nature center, is organizing community activities around Earth Day.
Join Arno Ilgner and the Los Alamos Mountaineers Wednesday for a discussion of how to apply Ilgner's "Warrior's Way" mental training to rock climbing and other challenging situations.
Ilgner distinguished himself as a pioneering rock climber in the 1970s and '80s, when the top climbs were bold and dangerous first ascents. These personal exploits are the foundation for Ilgner' s unique physical and mental training program — The Warrior's Way.
The Santa Fe Raptor Center has three new educational birds that will visit Pajarito Environmental Education Center at 7 p.m. March 16. Educators from the Raptor Center will bring a Swainson's Hawk, a Kestrel Falcon and a Great Horned Owl to PEEC, 3540 Orange Street, for a free evening talk.
Hundreds of injured and orphaned birds are found each year in New Mexico. Birds can be injured by flying into power lines and vehicles, be poisoned by eating pest control products and be shot at by humans.
Over the past two weekends, audiences have enjoyed the non-stop laughter and unexpected moments in the Los Alamos Little Theatre's production, "Moonlight and Magnolias," the story of how the "Gone with the Wind" screenplay was rewritten in only five days.
The Los Alamos County Council issued a proclamation at its March 1 meeting proclaiming support for the 18th Annual Empty Bowls Project. The annual event will be from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday at the Betty Ehart Senior Center.
For a donation of $10 or more, attendees can choose a hand-painted bowl and enjoy a soup from one of the local restaurants, along with homemade bread and cookies.
Sometimes it feels as though weekends are nothing more than a rut.
The same routine is churned out over and over again until the two days off from work begin to feel worn out. To breathe life into the weekends, the conventional needs to be kicked aside for an entirely new experience. To achieve that objective, visit the New Mexico Art Museum's new exhibit, "Case Studies from the Bureau of Contemporary Art."
Each work defies conventional and traditional views of art in favor of new, different interpretations.
The Los Alamos Concert Association's 2010-2011 season continues on March 18, when back by popular demand, Imani Winds returns to Los Alamos. The concert will begin at 8 p.m. in Duane Smith Auditorium on the Los Alamos High School campus.

Any politician who believes sending the nation off the "fiscal cliff" is a smart strategy deserves to be thrown into an electoral abyss.
Fortunately, saner heads seem to be gaining ground days after some congressional Democrats said that allowing the nation to undergo spending cuts and tax increases on Jan. 1 might be a good strategy to gain an advantage in negotiations.
Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., and some other Democrats have suggested their party leaders should hold off on trying to reach a budget deal until next year in hopes of bringing additional leverage against Republicans.
Murray and company believe Republicans would take the biggest blame for a failure to reach a deal. Voters should make sure she and others in Congress know otherwise.
For months, warnings have been issued about the ramifications of failure to come to an agreement to cut the deficit by $1.2 trillion as required by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Economists have warned the automatic tax increases and spending cuts mandated without a budget deal could send the nation into another recession.
That would be bad news for millions of Americans who still are trying to crawl back financially from the Great Recession.
While the economy has improved, it's running more like a fouled, two-cycle motor rather than the finely tuned performance engine we need. With Europe expected to go into recession and other headwinds, the U.S. economy already is facing challenges.
That will only worsen if all of the Bush-era tax cuts are repealed and across-the-board spending cuts are implemented as required by current law.
This means nearly every American will see less money in their paychecks because of higher taxes. In addition, the spending cuts - dubbed sequestration - could mean more layoffs. Half of the $109 billion in spending cuts would come from defense with the rest from domestic spending.
While we believe there is enough fat so that federal spending can be cut, reductions should be targeted, not hacked off with a meat cleaver.
The White House Office of Management and Budget has released a report stating that sequestration will result in cuts of 9.4 percent to non-exempt defense discretionary funding, 8.2 percent to non-exempt nondefense discretionary funding, 2 percent to Medicare, 7.6 percent to other non-exempt nondefense mandatory programs and 10 percent to non-exempt defense mandatory programs.
On Friday, officials from both parties were sounding a more optimistic tone that a budget deal could be reached before the end of the year.
Reaching a compromise still will require considerable work, and it's important that Americans keep the pressure on both parties to come to an agreement.
Coming out of the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression, our nation needs time to heal, not more injury because it was thrown off a cliff for political gamesmanship.

The Stone Carvers
The Canadian National Vimy Memorial sits on a preserved battlefield in France where the Canadian Expeditionary Force took part in the Battle of Vimy Ridge during World War I. The huge marble monument took 11 years to build and has giant human sculptures representing sacrifice, mourning, and strength and includes over 11,000 names of Canadian soldiers missing in action.
In Jane Urquhart's novel The Stone Carvers, we meet three fictional people who wind up working on this magnificent monument. Their lives are transformed both by the beauty of art and the horrors of war.
Klara and Tilman Becker grow up in rural Canada in a German immigrant community at the turn of the century. Their grandfather is a wood carver with high hopes for Tilman to learn the master craft. While Tilman has a natural carving ability, he is proves unable to stay on the farm. Even as early as 12, Tilman must migrate. Nothing his family does can keep him on the farm, not even a chain.
Klara learns to carve from her grandfather and how to tailor at an early age. She remains deeply rooted on the farm, earning a living for herself and her father. But even steadfast Klara is eventually moved by both personal grief and the greater losses of a county deeply wounded by war.
This book isn't about World War I specifically (you learn very little about the actual Battle of Vimy Ridge), but instead it is about overcoming grief even if that grief is indeterminable. I found myself cheering on the characters when they had trouble articulating in a relationship. In that sense, I am reminded of Erdrich's The Master Butchers Singing Club and one of my all time favorites Deafening by Frances Itani. Both of these novels are also set in immigrant communities rural areas (one in North Dakota and one in Canada) and have characters who participate in World War I. The themes of language, communication and sound in Deafening specifically are truly amazing. I hope rural World War I novels don't seem too obscure!

Grand Wailea's rooftop apiary with 10 beehives, has been buzzing with sweet nectar since it was set up in 2009.
This year, its sister property, the Waldorf Astoria New York, also started its own rooftop apiary. That's when a friendly banter between the resorts started on whose honey is best.
This was eventually settled during National Honey Month with the Waldorf Battle of the Bees media event in New York.

The honey is used in all restaurant menus at the Grand, in the Beehave cocktail at Botero Bar, and in bottles at Cafe Kula.

Back in the days of cowboys and indians. The cowboys would go out into the loan range for long periods of time, and come back with only the clothes on their back. This would mean they would be forced to strip down to there boots (which would be left on to avoid rattle snakes)to wash their clothes. Hence in order to avoid confusion with passers by, the cowboy would shout (or call if you will) "booty, booty" so people would be able to take measures to avoid seeing him.

Competitions which was founded in Grayshott, Hampshire in January 1901. We
believe the league, which draws its member clubs from Surrey, Hampshire and
Sussex, to be the oldest continuously-operating village cricket league in
England, and possibly the world. If you are part of, or know of, a competition
which has existed in unchanged format from an earlier date, we'd be delighted

OKC Thunder (5-0, 2-0 road) at Dallas Mavericks (1-4, 1-2 home)
TV: FS Oklahoma (Cox 37, HD 722, Tulsa Cox 27, DirectTV 679, UVerse 754)
Stream: Click here
Radio: WWLS The Sports Animal (98.1 FM, 640 AM, 97.1 FM Tulsa)
Time: 7:30 CT
Offensive Rating: Thunder – 108.5 (8th), Mavs– 98.2 (22nd)
Defensive Rating: Thunder – 102.7 (15th), Mavs – 106.4 (21st)
Pace: Thunder – 94.0 (10th), Mavs – 95.7 (5th)
View from the enemy: The Two Man Game
I keep telling myself that at some point, the Mavericks are going to snap out of it. I thought it was happening against Oklahoma City, but then Kevin Durant did his thing. Following that, Dallas picked up its first win against Toronto, but then got worked by the Wolves. As constructed, the Mavs are still a good team, but probably not anywhere near the team they were last season.
Still, they have that No. 41 guy and they're always dangerous.
Dallas coming in: The Mavs played and lost to the Wolves last night, meaning those old legs might be feeling it a bit.
Three Big Things
1. The perimeter. The Thunder controlled the Mavs pretty well in the first meeting, but Dallas worked back into the game by getting things going from outside a bit. Jason Terry can heat up in a heartbeat, so containing him will go a long way in the Thunder taking down the Mavs again.
2. Russell Westbrook. He looked to get back to being himself against Phoenix, but Dallas has always done a good job of bottling him. He put together a nice few minutes at the end of the first game, but OKC really needs Westbrook to show up for four quarters.
3. Turnovers. The Thunder probably would've beat Dallas by 15 if not for 26 turnovers that led to 29 Maverick points. Valuing the basketball has been an issue for OKC so far this season, but that's not new. The Thunder turn the ball over a lot. That's just life. OKC's second in the league right now turning it over 18.4 times a game. The Thunder are better than the Mavs, unless they give Dallas a bunch of extra possessions.
Tip at 7:30 CT. Go Up the Thunder.

Jonah Hill Telling A True Story
Along with James Franco
Since Moneyball saw him A) switching successfully to drama, B) working with Brad Pitt, and C) scoring an Oscar nomination, it's no surprise to learn that Jonah Hill is planning a combo of at least the first two elements for an upcoming film. He'll star alongside James Franco in True Story.
The script was adapted from Michael Finkel's memoir, and will find Hill playing Finkel, who was working for the New York Times magazine back in 2002 when he sniffed out a likely story. The FBI had captured criminal Christian Longo (Franco) after he'd spent a few years on the FBI's Most Wanted List for killing his family.
So far, so standard crime tale, right? But here's the twist: Longo had been using Finkel's identity while on the run. And to add one more wrinkle, the NYT fired Finkel the day after Longo was nabbed after deciding he'd falsified chunks of a recent investigative article. But when Longo declared that Finkel was the only journalist he'd talk to, and that he wanted to prove his innocence, a weird relationship grew with Finkel looking into the mystery and trying to redeem himself as a writer...
So where does Pitt factor into it? Well, he's producing the movie via his Plan B company, having won the rights to the project back from Paramount. Rupert Goold is directing, and while there's no financing in place you, you've got to figure the combo of Oscar nominees would be enough to make investors ready to jump aboard.

Bras are a tricky business. Not only do you have to find your perfect cup size, you also have to figure out which bra best suits which outfit. There's so much to get right that I sometimes catch myself obsessing over every little detail.
While my rational self counsels that my choice of bra for my important interview isn't going to change either my performance or the eventual outcome, I can't help obsessing over the significance of this one decision.
Why? Because the Chaos theory is true.
The idea that one little butterfly flapping its wings in a distant corner of the globe can cause enough atmospheric changes to create a hurricane on the other side of the world fills me with dread.
Seemingly insignificant decisions can turn out to be the best or worst thing you ever did.
But the outcome is almost always unforeseeable, since it is only with hindsight that you realise how your actions changed the course of events. Ultimately, I know that flip-flopping between my plain black bra and my lacy pink one is what's most likely to ruin my prospects – since my irrational indecision will make me late!
In The Rose Petal Beach by Dorothy Koomson Tamia's small ripple leads to a bigger ripple, and then to a giant wave which threatens to smash her world to pieces.
Compared to Tami's life, mine's a breeze. So thanks to Dorothy Koomson, I now know it really doesn't matter which bra I decide to wear!

"Yet that first murmur of spring opens up a world of freshness every year and jump-starts the creative process. That's not to say that we chefs keep our creative juices in the chest freezer for the winter–it's just an extension of what Mexican people call vuelve a la vida–'return to life.' It's something all humans are encoded to feel with the approaching vernal equinox." Evan supports local producers, but has a significant home garden.

Internet firms surge in rank as banks hold fast
The Chinese Internet industry has been growing by leaps and bounds this year, with leading service providers seeing the value of their brands soar, Interbrand, the world's largest brand consulting firm, said on Wednesday.
It's the sixth time Interbrand has released its Best China Brands List.
The rankings are compiled using companies' sales revenue, independent consumers and market research.
Shenzhen-based information technology service provider Tencent Holdings Ltd became the fastest-growing brand in China, with its brand value up by 84 percent to more than 90 billion yuan ($14.78 billion).
Tencent's stupendous growth dwarfed 2012's fastest-growing Chinese liquor brand Kweichow Moutai Co's 30 percent and saw it leapfrog from eighth place to No 4 in 2013.
Most agree its rapid growth can be largely attributed to the success of its instant messaging tool WeChat. The number of WeChat users increased by four times to reach 400 million.
"Tencent has devoted much effort to build its brand by providing first-rate service to its customers, which is the core value of the company," said Thomas Chen, managing director of Interbrand China.
Tencent's ascendancy is in line with a trend seen in this year's Forbes' China Rich List, said Russell Flannery, Shanghai bureau chief of Forbes China, as Internet businesses are bringing in the most wealth in 2013.
Pony Ma, co-founder and chairman of Tencent, is ranked fifth on Forbes' 2013 list, with a personal wealth of 62.2 billion yuan, up from 39 billion yuan last year.
Search-engine service provider Baidu Inc saw its brand value surge by 57 percent to put the company at No 11 on this year's list. Its growth rate is the fourth-fastest among the top 50 brands. Baidu's rapid growth also has brought wealth to Chief Executive Officer Li Yanhong, who is ranked third on this year's Forbes China Rich List, with a personal net worth of 67.7 billion yuan.
Chinese Internet portal Netease Inc also saw its ranking rise, from 32nd place last year to 29th.
It should be noted that the Chinese largest e-commerce service provider Alibaba was not on the list as no public financial information was released as the company prepared to go public.
With the world's fastest-growing brands worldwide all Internet companies, "China is finally catching up with the international community in this regard," said Yao Chenggang, strategy director of Interbrand China. No Chinese firm, however, was in the top 100 of Interbrand's Best Global Brands 2013 list.
Although the nation's biggest telecom operator, China Mobile, topped the Best China Brands list, its brand value shrank by 7 percent to about 196 billion yuan this year from about 210 billion yuan a year ago.
"It is an inevitable trend to go digital and mobile these days. A new structure has been formed, with Baidu, Alibaba and Tencent taking the most shares of the market," said Tang Yaqian, deputy strategy director of Interbrand China.
"China Mobile has, of course, sensed the tight competition and realized the timeliness of changing its strategy," Tang said, adding that "being more customer-oriented is of utmost importance in the process of its restructuring."
Banks still take the lion's share of the top 50 brands in China, with 13 banks shortlisted. Even they, however, are increasingly reliant on the Internet industry.
China Merchants Bank, seeing its brand value increase by 13 percent to put it in ninth place on the list this year, has been running its WeChat official account quite successfully. Inquiries on the account get answered within 3 seconds, as compared with phone inquiries, which could take up to 60 seconds.
According to Tang, the mobile account "helps to increase China Merchants Bank's credibility and, of course, its customer loyalty."

The usual thing that nurses like me do is injecting medicine to a patient. If you handle several patient wards in a shift, anything that can save time will be a great help. This product is one of them. It saves us time because all we need to do is to take it from its container and then we can swipe it directly to a patient's skin. Getting cotton and putting alcohol in it wastes time. I would also suggest homes to have this.

MUSKEGON, MI – MLive and the Muskegon Chronicle sent reporter Lisha Arino to review Wednesday night's headliner, Chicago, at Coast West Music Festival at Heritage Landing in Muskegon. Here are a few of her thoughts on the performance.
Rating: 4
Attendance estimate: 15,500
Synopsis: A crowd came out for Chicago's performance on July 3. By the time the band came on at around 9 p.m., patrons had filled the grassy area in front of the stage. Chicago played a two-hour set that covered many of its hits throughout its years as a band.
Initial thoughts: The band was a little mellower than some of the rock acts that have played Coast West so far, but it still put on an energetic and engaging performance. I loved hearing the horns as well as the instrumental solos interspersed throughout the performance. At times however, the show felt a little long, but I've been a little sleep deprived lately and they did promise a lengthy set, so I didn't count it against them. Overall, I thought Chicago gave an enjoyable performance, but it didn't blow me away, so I gave the set a "4."

obviously everyone has their favorite tastes and genres of music, but being objective as possible in the electronic music realm, what do you see as becoming the most influential and important music style of the next several years?
trip hop/downtempo/ambient
hip hop/glitch hop
well you're on the right track keeping hip hop in all the options. im sure this garbage shit people produce will be around for many years to come. hopefully it gets better.
something we don't know about yet, hopefully.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
Music will keep getting more diverse. Thanks to the internets people can download just about anything meaning really specialized genres can thrive despiste mainstream trends.
But I really hope that dub/reggae/dubstep/garage/grime doesn't pick up anymore steam.
My husband is into that dubstep stuff, and I'm kind of annoyed by it anymore.
the busy bee has no time for sorrow.
none of those
none of the above.
Although I do see a continuing trend in indie electronic acts that are a bit more challenging than standard electronic fare (i.e. Animal Collective)

problem , if this is an "old catia user" (who has already start catia before creation of MytoolBar), then MytoolBar is not available. The only solution that I have found is , delete the "UserSettings" , restart CATIA , so MytoolBar is available . BUT I do not like this solution !!!!
c) same problem if I modify MytoolBar , I have to remove for all user the UserSettings to take into account the modification
=> Is there any better solution to create a tool-bar and give access to several user ?

I have had exactly the same problem here. The method you have described, getting hold of modifications to the toolbar is the same as I have been using. This is not ideal as users can have their own settings that are then lost when performing a deltion of the user settings. I have also found that toolbars defined by myself can dissapear and again leads to the same problem as above.

It looks like this may be something that we need to submit to Dassault.
To me at least, why incorporate the amazing ability to do all that we are allowed to do with code (VBA) and not include anyway to distribute it?
Or, at the very least let us modify the CATSettings files. Does Catia come with any software that allows you to manipulate the settings directly? I'll start a new thread for this to make sure it get's seen.

I have experience with CATIA V4 , it was very easy for the administrator to customize the main menu (add new command, modify the multiselection list ......)
Now with CATIA V5 , every "end user" has the hability to do it , but the administrator do not have a simple way to customize the toolbar.

I worked at Boeing, and non-admins were allowed to create menus, commands, etc.
I guess we didn't lock people out though. It is very surprising though that you can't distribute something in V5.
One of my VERY FEW big complaints so far.

You can distribute toolbars thru the Administrator Settings. I think they are under the FrameGeneral.CATSettings or FrameConfig.CATSettings. Of course, if the user has additionally customized your toolbars, they won't see any changes.
COE Administrator
[Admin Group]
Hello Jim,
What do you mean "can distribute toolbars thru the Administrator Settings" ?
I have understand :
a) modify the ToolBar in Admin mode
-> the modification is in the file FrameGeneral.CATSettings and FrameConfig.CATSettings
b) to take this modification into account for all user , copy FrameGeneral.CATSettings and FrameConfig.CATSettings under the "UserSettings" directory of all user (or remove both files)
This is a solution but I think there are 2 problems
1rst : this will delete (lost) the user specific modification in his own ToolBar (I do not know at the moment if this is an important restriction ?)
2nd : you have to access for all user to the directory "UserSettings" , this is not easy if this directory is in the local disk of the PC
COE Administrator
[Admin Group]
Usually CATIA is launch using a "CATMenu" an inhouse CATIA launcher, you can put a script in the CATMenu to clean (some/all) CATSettings...
Yes When you set the toolbar as an admin (REFCATSettings), users have to clean theirs... But cleaning CATSetting is something we are used to do (several times a week)
Ask your users what they need, create several ENVIRONMENT, use a CATMenu to chose the ENV (with the proper REFCATSettings, licences, DLNAMES...). This is part of the admin job...
Bonne chance
Jim Strawn

We have found that, once the user's have the toolbar in question, you can change it's contents in the Reference Settings directory (i.e. in Admin Mode), and they will see the changes - even if they have customized their own toolbars. The only time they don't see it is if they have customized the toolbar that you have provided.

More thoughts on Mike Miles and new versus experienced teachers in DISD
I posted an item on Oct. 26, "Some credibility issues with Mike Miles, DISD superintendent," that I've yet to follow up on, largely because the election got in the way. One of my big complaints was that Miles cited a study, the Widget Effect, that he claimed would show a plateau effect minimizing the importance of long-term experience on teacher effectiveness. In other words, after about two or three years, a new teacher is really equal to a teacher with, say 12 or 15 years of experience in terms of their ability to raise student performance levels. Miles used this to justify his position that, after about five years in the job, DISD teachers need to think about moving on. It struck me as unbelievable callous and wrong-headed.
So I read the Widget Effect, and it said nothing even close to what Miles claimed it said. Click here if you want to read it for yourself. I followed up with Miles' highly paid communications chief, Jennifer Sprague. It took her until the following week, but she finally responded. She suggested I read pages 10-12 of the Widget Effect, which she said "indicates that there is virtually no distinction made in the profession with regard to the evaluation (and proficiency) of teachers. In other words, if experience made a significant difference, we would expect to see a difference in teacher evaluations after the first few years."
I read those pages — and you should read them, too. And I challenge you to find anything close to what Sprague and Miles assert. Those pages deal with ineffective evaluation methods, not ineffectiveness levels among experienced-versus-inexperienced teachers.
Sprague suggested I look at two additional studies: one by The New Teacher Project, which was founded by former Washington D.C. schools chief Michelle Rhee, and another from the National Bureau of Economic Research: What Does Certification Tell Us About Teacher Effectiveness: Evidence from New York City? This study also has heavy input from Rhee.
Let's keep in mind that MIchelle Rhee's mission — one that I support — has been to end the practice of teacher tenure in public schools and to break the union stranglehold that allows bad teachers to stay in their jobs long after they should have been fired. Neither tenure nor union control exists in DISD, so I'm not sure this study has much application here. It is far, far easier for DISD to get rid of bad teachers that, say, the New York or Washington school districts.
Nothing earth-shaking there. The study then looks at the rate of growth in effectiveness and finds that the highest rate is found among new teachers. Again, that's hardly surprising. "Teachers improve the most early in their careers. One study found that 'close to half of the teacher achievement returns to experience arise during the first few years of teaching. The shift from no experience to some experience makes the biggest difference. One study found that 'the bulk of the experience effects occur during the first year,' while another noted that 'the effect of moving from being completely inexperienced to having a full year of experience' matters most."
Then we get to the paydirt Miles and Sprague are looking for: "However, most teachers reach their peak after about five years in the classroom. Teachers gradually reach a plateau after 3-5 years on the job. As one study put it, 'there is little evidence
that improvement continues after the first three years.' Another found that, on average, teachers with 20 years of experience are not much more effective than those with 5 years of experience. Some studies suggest that effectiveness actually declines toward the end of a teacher's career. For example, the most experienced high school math teachers may be less effective than their less experienced colleagues and even their inexperienced colleagues."
The National Bureau of Economic Research study is more than 50 pages in length, so I won't get into nitty-gritty details. The abstract says the study uses "six years of data on student test performance to evaluate the effectiveness of certified, uncertified, and alternatively certified teachers in the New York City public schools. On average, the certification status of a teacher has at most small impacts on student test performance. However, among those with the same certification status, there are large and persistent differences in teacher effectiveness. This evidence suggests that classroom performance during the first two years, rather than certification status, is a more reliable indicator of a teacher's future effectiveness. We also evaluate turnover among teachers with different certification status, and the impact on student achievement of hiring teachers with predictably high turnover. Given relatively modest estimates of experience differentials, even high turnover groups (such as Teach for America participants) would have to be only slightly more effective in their first year to offset the negative effects of their high exit rates."
This study mainly focuses on the debate over certified versus uncertified or alternatively certified teachers, and compares the results each group's students attain on standardized test scores. The study finds that Teach For America teachers (who normally are recruited to serve only two years, then move on) have high rates of success in motivating students and attaining better test results.
I wouldn't use a study of New York's heavily unionized school system as a basis for telling Dallas school teachers that they should consider finding work elsewhere if they've spent more than five years on the job.
I've listened carefully to Miles, not just in our board room but also when he's speaking to the community, and I'm troubled by his attempt to use teachers as a scapegoat for what's wrong in DISD. Some teachers are part of the problem. Some principals are part of the problem. Some entrenched administrators and a previously bad superintendent were a big part of the problem.
But let's not forget that students arrive at school every day carrying the huge baggage of their experience outside the classroom — in their neighborhoods and in their homes. Many have parents who really have no business being parents. Many students are from multiple generations of mothers who got pregnant while they were teenagers. High poverty rates in the neighborhoods surrounding many underperforming DISD schools, particularly in southern Dallas, have a very important role in determining how students perform academically.
To assign the bulk of the blame to teachers, as Miles so clearly does, is irresponsible and outright wrong. His studies don't justify his callous attitude, and Miles contradicts himself on a very key point: If it's the fault of experienced or entrenched teachers, then why is Miles adopting the Harlem Children's Zone approach to the neighborhoods surrounding Pinkston, Lincoln and Madison high schools? The Harlem Children's Zone approach is very clear in saying that multiple factors outside the classroom are the reason why schools fail their students. You have to change the entire culture in the surrounding neighborhoods if you want to fix the schools.
I would love to hear Miles and Sprague answer that key point. But I won't hold my breath.

BEAUMONT, Texas — A Texas man pleaded guilty Tuesday to possessing child pornography, announced U.S. Attorney John M. Bales, Eastern District of Texas.
The joint investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), U.S. Marshals Service, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, the Orange County Sheriff's Office, and the police departments of Lumberton and Beaumont, Texas.
Timothy Arthur Steinbarth, 49, of Lumberton, pleaded guilty Aug. 7 to possessing child pornography before U.S. District Judge Thad Heartfield. Steinbarth was indicted by a federal grand jury on May 16.
According to court documents, HSI agents executed a search warrant at Steinbarth's residence on Jan. 21, 2011. Several computers and digital storage mediums were seized during the search. A forensic analysis of the seized property revealed 100 videos and more than 100 images of child pornography. Some of the material could be considered sadistic or masochistic and depicted prepubescent children under the age of 12.
Steinbarth faces up to 20 years in federal prison. A sentencing date has not been set.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Christopher T. Tortorice, Eastern District of Texas, prosecuted the case.
This investigation was part of Operation Predator, a nationwide ICE initiative to protect children from sexual predators, including those who travel overseas for sex with minors, Internet child pornographers, criminal alien sex offenders and child sex traffickers. ICE encourages the public to report suspected child predators and any suspicious activity through its toll-free hotline at 1-866-DHS-2ICE or by completing its online tip form. Both are staffed around the clock by investigators.
Suspected child sexual exploitation or missing children may be reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children, an Operation Predator partner, at 1-800-843-5678 or http://www.cybertipline.com.

The Edmonton Oilers should be so lucky as to get the kind of arena Joel Cadieux's family created.
Thousands of Lego blocks and more hours than they care to count went into their dream arena painstakingly built from the ice up in their basement imaginarium.
And in keeping with the fantasy theme, tiny Lego Oilers are at centre ice celebrating another Stanley Cup win.
"It's dedicated to our favourite team, the Oilers. It's kind of projecting into the future," he says optimistically.
The project is the culmination of a year's work for Joel and his family of helpers: Noah, 10, Dallis, eight, Elijah, seven and Davis, four.
Driven into the basement by a heat wave last year, they began work.
The roughly one-metre-by-1.5-metre arena is impressive. Constructed from — at best guess somewhere between 10,000 to 15,000 building blocks and other speciality parts — the cross-section arena stands almost a metre high.
"I wanted to make it bigger but we ran out of Lego."
His arena comes complete with an impressive main entrance featuring five giant replicas of the Oilers Stanley Cup victories.
A large, impeccably recreated Oilers logo adorns one wall. It had to be constructed building from one side to the other to create the distinctive oil drop that Gretzky and company first made famous.
The stands are filled with about 300 Lilliputian fans celebrating their team's triumph. Ingenuity abounds. TV cameras perched in the corners of the rink were designed and built from scratch. Likewise, the toilets and sinks in the stadium-style washroom created just for fun had to be cobbled together from various odds and ends.
For the Cadieux family, large-scale Lego creations have passed idle pursuit and become a full-fledged passion. A scale model of Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump was featured in the Advocate in 2008. Since then, a baseball stadium and castle among other creations have taken shape block by block.
Their basement shelves are lined with workshop drawer units, filled with thousands of carefully organized Lego pieces, the culmination of years of buying and selling online.
After a few months, they are dismantled and the next project is planned. The arena will share the same fate.
"This is going to be ripped down and built into something different."
Daughter Dallis is already thinking about another castle. Her favourite touches in the current project are the TV cameras, the Jumbotron hanging from the arena rafters and the Stanley Cups.
"I like the little details, like the cameramen," she says.
Noah says, "I think everything here is so cool, from the Stanley Cups at the back to the Jumbotron."

Primal diets seem to exclude grains, oats, and corn. Yet these are foods that have the best soluble fiber. Fruit and vegetable fibers are far less bulky. Is there a recommended Primal solution for getting extra soluble fiber into a diet?
What about the idea of using oat bran/fiber, which is very low carb, yet retains most of the valuable soluble fiber in the oat?
I have been supplementing with grapefruit fiber as well, which I have read has good cardiovascular effects, but it isn't as bulky as fibers in grains/oats/corn.
I looked for corn fiber, and I did not find it. I guess it is not economic to produce?
Norak's Primal Journal:
2010-07-23: ~255lbs, ~40.0"
2011-11-03: ~230lbs, ~35.5"
2011-12-07: ~220lbs, ~34.0"
Why do you want fiber anyway? Are you a cow? Are you a goat? No. You shouldn't need fiber.
My smartphone makes me about $100 per month
Updating my journal again after a 2 year break.
Vegetables are mostly insoluble fibers, cellulose.
Starchy foods are soluble, like potato, apple (no skin), etc...soluble is what will make you poop, insoluble is what will get ya plugged up or cause obstruction, letting fluids rush by making it look like diarrhea, when it isn't.
Stay away from grains (except white rice which is low on fiber and passes through quickly), because grains have too many side-effects over long term to be healthy. Small fruits being eaten with skins such as berries are also a great choice.
To bulk up without causing constipation use white rice or potatoes. Vegetables seem to cause clumping and form a giant boulder that's hard to pass. (in large amounts).
Don't be paranoid about the insulin response from white rice or potato, you're not going to become diabetic from any of these unless you consume them daily, with every meal over MANY years.
Dietary Fiber: Insoluble and Soluble Fiber
In terms of soluble fiber, one half cup of fruit will get you about 2 grams of soluble fiber. The equivalent amount of oats would get you 8 grams. To get to the recommended amount of 40 grams of soluble fiber per day, you would be eating fruit non stop morning to night.
It might be the case that the Primal diet either has nothing to say about getting more Soluble fiber, or it might take the position that you don't need it. I don't see any harm in having soft bulky well formed stool, and I certainly do see harm in constipation. If those are my choices probably I would prefer the former to the latter.
Can someone see any harm in taking Oat Bran, which is an extremely low carbo form of oats? Oat Bran is mostly just the oat bran fiber without the kernel.
You should consider then that the "recommended amount" of soluble fiber is to offset other detrimental foods in the standard American diet. I don't eat any kind of grain except for white rice on occasion and my stool is regular and well formed. Why do you think you need this kind of fiber?
Depression Lies
Issabeau and Westes, you guys have this backwards. Directly from Westes' source:
Insoluble means they don't dissolve and stay intact, which increases volume of stool. If you have constipation problems, take it as a sign that you're not eating enough leafy greens or other vegetables.Insoluble fibers are considered gut-healthy fiber because they have a laxative effect and add bulk to the diet, helping prevent constipation.
So if volume is what you want, then soluble is by far going to give you more result per gram ingested.

No recent book shows more admirably the close relationships between medicine, history, and sociology. Society is gradually taking over increased responsibility for the welfare of children in diverse areas, and the whole field of child welfare is becoming more and more intimately connected to medicine, in its broader sense.
Health care in the narrow sense comprises a substantial part of the volume, with such topics as children's hospitals, visiting nurses, school health programs, infant mortality, mental hygiene, and birth control. Equally important are problems slightly more to the periphery, such as the illegitimate child, the supervision of foster homes, mothers' aids, juvenile delinquency, problems of child labor and education.
Readers who are frightened away by the subtitle, "Documentary History," will miss a work that is both fascinating and significant. There is nothing dull about the "documents" in the present instance. Material is derived from newspapers, popular magazines, professional journals, biographies

RBA Set for Longest Pause Since 2007 on Jobs: Australia Credit
Reserve Bank of Australia Governor Glenn Stevens is poised to keep borrowing costs unchanged for the longest stretch since 2007 after the nation's record job growth slowed, money markets indicate.
The yield on June interbank cash futures dropped 2.5 basis points to 4.78 percent on the Sydney Futures exchange yesterday, matching the biggest fall in almost two months. It rose 0.5 basis point today, implying an 86 percent chance Stevens will keep the overnight cash rate target at 4.75 percent for a sixth meeting, the longest he has stood pat since a seven-meeting pause in 2007. Yesterday's report showed the weakest January-to-April employment growth since 1999.
Stevens has scope to pause as retail sales weaken after household savings reached what the RBA calls a two-decade high and the currency's surge to a record curbs tourism and manufacturing, giving mining greater capacity to expand. The RBA's 175 basis points of rate increases from October 2009 to November 2010 has helped shield the economy from global inflation pressures that are spurring Asian and European policy makers to tighten.
"The jobs report throws an extra element of uncertainty into the equation and, combined with the soft retail sales number, suggests that the RBA is likely to just sit and watch a little bit longer," said Adam Donaldson, Melbourne-based head of debt research at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, the nation's largest lender. "The chance of a move in June has receded."
The RBA will add a percentage point to borrowing costs in four steps, Commonwealth Bank predicts, starting in August and ending in the second quarter of next year.
Contrary Predictions
Commonwealth Bank is among 15 of 24 institutions surveyed by Bloomberg News forecasting the RBA will extend its pause next month. It is the only one of Australia's four major banks to predict no change.
Economists at Westpac Banking Corp., National Australia Bank Ltd. and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group Ltd. say that the central bank will increase rates by a quarter percentage point to 5 percent on June 7.
Data yesterday showed Australian employers shed 22,100 workers in April, the most since 2009, including 49,100 full-time jobs, the most in two years. The jobless rate held at 4.9 percent, and the labor force as a percentage of the working-age population -- the participation rate -- fell to 65.6 percent from 65.8 percent.
Household Spending
Household spending accounts for 54 percent of Australia's economy and a government report last week showed retail sales unexpectedly fell 0.5 percent in March, the first decline in five months, and sales adjusted to remove inflation stagnated in the three months through March from the previous quarter.
Employment rose 22,900 in Queensland and Western Australia, states that are the biggest participants in the largest mining-investment boom in the country's history, yesterday's report showed. In contrast, the number of jobs in New South Wales, Australia's most populous state, fell 44,000, its biggest decline since 1992.
Last month's drop in total jobs brings to 26,300 the number of net new positions created in the first four months of the year, the weakest start to a year since 1999. Australia created 362,300 jobs in 2010, exceeding the previous record of 339,100 set in 2006.
Government bonds have returned 2.7 percent this year, including reinvested interest, offering gains for four straight months, beating the 1.5 percent profit on U.S. Treasuries, Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes show.
Australian Debt
The benchmark 10-year Australian government bond yield fell to 5.37 percent as of 5 p.m. in Sydney from 5.43 percent on April 29, extending four months of declines, the longest stretch since December 2008. The premium offered over similar-maturity Treasuries shrank to 215 basis points, down from this year's high of 230 on Jan. 7.
The yield differential will likely fall to less than 200 basis points by year-end as Australian bonds outperform their U.S. counterparts, said Donaldson at the Commonwealth Bank.
Bill Gross, who runs the world's biggest mutual fund at Newport Beach, California-based Pacific Investment Management Co. Gross said May 3 investors should prefer Australian and Canadian debt and shun Treasuries amid inflation risks.
Demand for Australian assets has spurred a 19 percent advance in the country's dollar over the past year to $1.0672. It reached $1.1012 on May 2, the strongest since the currency was freely floated in 1983.
Department Stores
The record-high Aussie dollar is driving consumers to purchase cheaper goods over the Internet, hurting domestic retailers, Patrick Elliott, chairman of JB Hi-Fi Ltd. said April 3. The advance in the household savings rate, which reached 9.7 percent at the end of last year from 1.5 percent three years earlier, is further crimping profits.
Myer Holdings Ltd. and David Jones Ltd., Australia's biggest department store chains, on May 11 reported declines in quarterly sales.
Melbourne-based Myer's sales fell 2 percent to A$657 million ($696 million) in the three months ended April 30, and Sydney-based David Jones, the second-largest chain, posted a 1.4 percent drop in revenue to A$411.7 million in the same period.
Budget Surplus
Further weighing on consumers, the government said this week it will end 23 years of spending growth to ease inflation from the mining boom and support the return to a budget surplus.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard's administration is trying to reduce the need for higher borrowing costs for consumers and businesses after the central bank said last week that an advance in rates will likely be needed "at some point" to contain inflation.
The RBA's rate increases over the past two years contrast with the U.S. Federal Reserve, which has held its benchmark rate near zero since December 2008.
Australia's central bank said in its May 6 quarterly policy statement that "most leading indicators point to further growth in employment over the months ahead, although at a slower pace than in 2010." It also predicted the jobless rate would fall to 4.25 percent by December 2013.
Tony Morriss, head of interest-rates research in Sydney at ANZ, said it's too soon to rule out a rate rise next month because government reports due this month on first-quarter wages and private capital expenditures will give RBA officials a better reading on the economy's health.

Idea of the Day: The Conservative Backlash Against Courts that Order Education Reform
Conservative governors and legislators across America are angry at the third branch of government. Some of these lawmakers are pushing legislation that could throw judges off the bench, while others are pushing to limit judicial authority. In one state, a governor unilaterally removed a justice of the state supreme court. Another Republican governor has publicly vowed to defy a ruling in a pending case if he does not like the outcome. Many of these proposals violate the separation of powers principles in their respective state constitutions. But some of these politicians want to amend their state constitutions to give the executive and legislative branches exclusive control over judicial appointments.
This conservative backlash is a response to court rulings that require the legislatures to spend more money on education or to distribute those funds more equally. These proposals send a message—a warning to judges that legislators have the means to punish courts that rule against the state.

The backcountry can be an intimating place under the best of circumstances. Even with a full crew of riders, photographers and filmers you still fee alone, one little speck in a great outdoor expanse. This past winter Tadashi Fuse did something that not many others would have been able to do and spent the season filming solo in the BC backcountry.
This episode of the Yes. Missions, can best be described as Tadashi vs. the wilderness. With his dedicated filmer Taro Koeji he spent the season finding new jumps and lines in the Whistler backcountry. What came out of his exploration is one of the most impressive edits of the year. His hard work most certainly paid off as he again proved why he has long been a backcountry powerhouse.

Acids and Bases
Acids and bases are two related types of chemicals. Each type has a number of common properties when dissolved in a solvent, usually water. Acids solutions usually taste sour and turn litmus paper red. They react with metals like zinc to produce hydrogen gas. Solutions of bases, also called alkaline solutions, taste bitter and turn litmus paper blue. When an acid solution is mixed with an alkaline solution, they neutralize each other forming water and a salt.
