Lockdowns lifted at nearby schools
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - UPDATE: Police have arrested a person of interest in this shooting. Full story here.
Colorado Springs police are investigating the deaths of two people near the intersection of South Circle Drive and Airport Road on Monday afternoon.
Police received reports of a shooting around noon at a residence in the 200 block of Bassett Road. Police say that when they arrived on scene, they found two people dead.

First Principles HTML version
So the doctrine of baptisms is a foundation of believing, that causes you to step up to the reality of who Jesus says
you are. Water Baptism demonstrates your Belief in that. Holy Ghost Baptism launches you into a reality of it, in
terms of Power. Baptism is suffering the experiences, which we welcome and rejoice over, because they enable
Christ to be seen more clearly. What a great foundation! If you don't have that foundation in your life, you'll just live
out of the old.
[Closing Prayer]
Perhaps there's someone here who's never taken the first step to receive Jesus Christ. This is what Jesus said: "To
as many as believed in Him, He gave power to become a child of God". This is a day for you to become a child of
God. This is a day for you to open your life, to receive the spirit of God, and the moment you receive the spirit of God
- as you turn away from sin and put your trust in Jesus Christ - trust that He died as your representative. He took all
the punishment of sin, and has made a way for you to be changed. As you believe and embrace that in your heart, I'll
tell you something - you are changed. You are changed. You're going to be a new person, different person. The old
will have passed away, and straight away after that, you'll just want to get water baptised - find a bath and full it up, or
go to a river if it's a clean one - whatever, but get baptised real quick.
Let me just lead you in a simple prayer. I wonder if we could just pray the prayer together:
Father in heaven, I come to you in Jesus' name. I thank you for loving me, for sending Jesus Christ to die on the
cross for my sins. Lord Jesus, I turn away from sin today. I receive you as my saviour. I give you my life today. I ask
you to forgive me, to make me clean inside. By faith I receive forgiveness now. I receive your spirit into my heart and I
give you my life today. Before heaven and earth I declare: Jesus Christ is my saviour, and Lord, and my friend
forever. Amen.
If you've prayed that prayer for the first time: welcome to the family of God! God's spirit has just come upon you, and
touched you. Next thing you'll want to do is get water baptised. Someone who's there as a believer can take you to
get water baptised. Otherwise fill the bath up, and do it there - but get water baptised; make a declaration to the spirit
powers of your identification with Jesus Christ, and that you are truly rising up to be a new person.
Summary Notes
1. Introduction
Heb. 6:1-3 "Let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundations …"
T he foundation of any building is unseen, but it determines the size and capacity of the building.
Our life and relationship with God must also have solid foundations for us to grow and mature.
In order to grow and "go on' there are two conditions (i) Hope foundations (ii) Permission of God.
Heb. 6:1-3 Lists foundations essential to build our relationship and life with God.
(i) Repentance from dead works - turn away from activities that have not the
life or love o f God.
(ii) Faith towards God - trust in the word and character o f God, express ed in words and obedience.
2. Doctrine of Baptisms
T he Doctrine of baptisms forms the next part of the foundation.
Doctrine = NT 1322 = teaching or instruction (about the meaning of baptisms)
Western thinking "doctrine" is about knowledge or information.
Hebrew thinking "doctrine" is about teaching that is lived out experientially (Act 1:1)
Baptisms = NT 909 = Baptismos Greek It is a Greek word written in English and not translated.
Mk 14:20 "…it is one of the 12 who dips with me in the dish" Dip = bapto = to immerse.
Lk 16:24 "..send Lazarus that he may dip the tip of his finger in water …" Dip = bapto = to immerse.
Baptize = to dip or totally immerse one object into something.
Bapt = NT 9:11 = to overwhelm, cover wholly with a fluid, to stain with a dye.
Baptism is the immersion of one thing into another so that it becomes changed.
Baptism is meant to impart to you a foundation of chang e.
3. Different Baptisms (4x)
Baptisms – is plural, there is more than one baptism – each one is to bring change.
(i) Baptism by Holy Spirit into Christ
1 Cor 12:13 "For by one Spirit we were all baptised into one Body…"
T he Holy Spirit brings about a change in identity and destiny when we receive Jesus Christ.
We become joined to Jesus Christ and become part of a Body of people repres enting Him.

Softball recap: Rams run past Rebels, 5-2
April 27, 2012
By Meredith Danner
Athletic Media Relations
LAS VEGAS, Nev. – The Colorado State softball team faced off with the UNLV Rebels to begin its third series within the Mountain West on Friday and notched its third conference win of the season. Thanks in part to a grand slam from CSU's Shae Rodriguez and another solid pitching performance from junior Kacie McCarthy, the Rams took Game 1 by a score of 5-2.
CSU moved back above .500 with the win and is now 23-22 on the season (3-4 MW). The victory also marked the Rams' first road win since April 4, when they defeated Northern Colorado, 10-6, in Greeley. UNLV, meanwhile, dropped to 19-22 and is still currently winless in conference action (0-4 MW).
"They were relaxed, but extremely focused," CSU Head Coach Jen Fisher said about the team's performance on Friday. "We really liked their preparation all week. They came out playing hard. This team is really competitive and they want to win."
The game remained scoreless through the first four innings, but in the top of the fifth, the Rams capitalized on a bases-loaded situation and broke it open with one swing. Freshman Taylor Hutton led off the inning with a single to left-center field, and with an early jump, advanced safely to second when sophomore Ashlie Ortega reached on a fielder's choice. Sophomore Kendal Butterfield was then hit by a pitch to load the bases and bring Rodriguez to the plate with no outs.
"We're just really happy about the little things we did well to even put Shae in that position to hit that grand slam," Fisher said.
On a 1-2 count, Rodriguez smacked one over the right-field wall. The homer was Rodriguez's third of the season and first CSU-career grand slam.
"She just turned on it and it stayed fair," Fisher said. "I was a little worried when it went up that it might have been foul, but it was actually five or ten feet fair, so we were really excited."
In the sixth, Ortega added the Rams' fifth run with her 22nd RBI of the year, a single to left-center field.
McCarthy, now 14-8, tossed her 14th complete game of the season and did not allow a hit until the bottom of the fifth. The Rebels threatened in the bottom of the seventh by scoring two runs, both unearned, but UNLV junior Tayler Aleman was tagged out at first base to end the game and prevent the comeback. McCarthy walked three and fanned five, giving up just three hits.
The Rams will look to take the second game and win the series on Saturday as they take on the Rebels at 2 p.m. MT. The game will be televised on The Mtn. (DirecTV channel 616, Comcast channel 411 in Fort Collins and Denver). Fans not able to see the live game on Saturday can catch one of three replays, which will air at 8 p.m. MT Saturday evening and 11 a.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday.

Thea Galehouse has always known how to take care of herself. With a flighty club-owner mom and a standoffish, recovering-alcoholic dad, Thea has made her own way in her hometown of New York, attending the prestigious and competitive Stuyvesant High School. But one chat with Will, a handsome and witty senior, and she's a goner—completely hooked on him and unable to concentrate on anything else.
Always worried that she loves Will more than he loves her, Thea is pleasantly surprised when their romance weathers his move to college and Will goes out of his way to involve her in his life. But then, Thea misses a period. And that starts Thea and Will on a wild ride that neither of them could have possibly prepared for. When they decide to keep the baby, their concerned parents chip in what they can to keep Will in school and give both teenagers a comfortable place to raise their child. But when a freak accident leaves Thea shaken and threatens to upend their little family altogether, Thea is forced to turn to the last place she would have chosen for comfort: her stiff, uncompromising father.
Hooked is a strange book – the synopsis hinted at a kind of epic romance and relationship between Thea and Will, and is one of the reasons why I picked it up in the first place. Coupled with the hook of teen pregnancy, I was ready to completely lose myself in it.
However, the relationship is totally devoid of any real romantic, or even other, kind of connection between Thea and Will. It felt really awkward – they meet, get together, Thea finds out she is pregnant and after deciding to keep the baby, they play at happy families. I also never felt like I really got to know the characters – they were pretty bland and unmemorable, apart from their bad points.
Will has very little loyalty or bond towards Thea or the baby. Obviously having a child was not yet in his life plan, but he pretty much uses any excuse to be negative and bordering on negligent towards both of them. He blames Thea for every little thing that goes wrong, and in fact when something does go quite terribly wrong he immediately turns on her. And yes, perhaps this is a realistic reaction from a character who has been forced into something by circumstance, but I just wanted him to man up and take some responsibility.
I was hopeful that Thea's family dynamic would instead be the part of the plot that gripped and moved me, but despite the fact her parents are dysfunctional, it all felt a little over-blown and hyped up unnecessarily – sure, Thea's father was a difficult character, but it's not like there was a huge, intense blow-out between them, and he stepped in to rescue her without much drama at all.
Overall, Hooked was a disappointment for me – it felt like the characters were just going through the motions, there was very little emotion or drama and both Thea and Will were actually very supported, both financially and emotionally by their families – just not by each other.
The idea of Hooked was great, and had so much potential, but the characters and the lack of sense of realism really underwhelmed me. It's like the author was continually hinting at something that could have been, but never really was.

With PageBuilder, what you see when editing a page is pretty much what the page will look like when published. This means that previewing a page is mostly automatic.
There are two ways to preview content: from within the web editor, or through the Web browser.
Add your content to a menu before you attempt to preview it in the Web browser. All HTML content should be included in a menu (except news items, which are never placed into the menu). Placement on the correct menu allows you to find your content and preview it more easily. See
How to Work with Menus for more information.
To use preview mode, follow this process:
After you are finished editing your content, click the Checkin button on the top toolbar.
(Checking in your content makes it accessible to others with editing privileges on your site but does not move the content into the workflow.)
Go to the browser view (the one in which you're logged in). You should see the following buttons.
Click Preview. You will notice that the magnifying glass turns into a red arrow, and the colored boxes no longer appear around content on the page.
Use the menu to navigate to your content. You will see the preview of how it will appear on the site.
If the previewed content needs editing, go back to the workarea and edit the page. When you are finished, preview it again if you have made changes or submit it for approval. (Hint:
Previewing while you edit is a great time-saver).
To exit preview mode, go back to the browser view, and click Preview again. The red arrow will turn into a magnifying glass. You will notice that only published content is now visible and the content-block outlines will appear.
When editing a piece of content, the Preview icon is located just to the right of the Save icon (which you should never use—always Check In or Submit).
Clicking the Preview icon will open a new window to let you see the content as it would appear on the website. This option lets you observe actual changes to Web.
Note: Brand-new content that has never been checked in nor submitted will not display the Preview icon. This option only becomes available if the content is opened for editing a second time.

|More information:
Born illegitimate on New York's Upper West Side, with nothing to recommend her but blonde good looks and a ferocious intelligence, she used sex, street smarts, acid humor, and money to plot a career more improbable than anything in her own fiction and drama. At ten, Clare Boothe understudied Mary Pickford on Broadway. At twenty, she was both a suffragette and a siren to well-placed men on both sides of the Atlantic. She spurned the handsomest to marry the richest: George Tuttle Brokaw, an alcoholic Fifth Avenue millionaire more than twice her age. At twenty-six, she was free of him, financially secure, in the full flower of her beauty, and ambitious enough to scorch silk. Clare Boothe set about transforming herself into a caption writer at Vogue, staff writer and managing editor of Vanity Fair (glossiest of the Deco-era magazines), and author of Stuffed Shirts, a satiric short-story collection brilliant enough to arouse the envy of Andre Maurois. Then, in three days at age thirty-three, she wrote The Women, the hit play whose dry-martini dialogue ("I'm a virgin - a frozen asset") still elicits gasps from audiences around the world. By then Clare Boothe was married again, this time to a man who was her equal in force of character: Henry Luce, the youthful publisher of Time and Fortune. On their honeymoon, she helped plant the seed of his greatest success, Life. For Luce, meeting Clare was a "coup de foudre," a lightning stroke that transformed him overnight into the most ardent and generous of lovers. To Clare, whom a French artist once described as "a beautiful facade without central heating," Henry was only the latest, and by no means the last, of the men she cruelly disillusioned. Although the marriage endured, this clear-eyed biography chronicles its deterioration from passion to partnerships. Other admirers, including Max Reinhardt, Conde Nast, Joseph P. Kennedy, Randolph Churchill, Noel Coward, Bernard Baruch, Paul Gallico, Isamu Noguchi, and Jawaharlal Nehru, crowd the pages of Rage for Fame - even Gertrude Stein, in one hilarious episode. All testify to Clare Boothe Luce's extraordinary charm and guile. However, she had powerful detractors, notably Franklin D. Roosevelt, David O. Selznick, Frida Kahlo, and Dorothy Parker. Copious quotations from her own diaries, as well as from those of her daughter, Ann, and the letters of her doomed literary mentor Donald Freeman, reveal dark undercurrents of deceit, ruthlessness, and narcissism in her personality. Behind the blue eyes and flirtatious manner, she was, in Irwin Shaw's words, "feminine as a meat axe." By the time she was thirty-seven, Clare Boothe Luce had written two more Broadway hits (the opening of her anti-Nazi play Margin for Error attracted not only Albert Einstein but Thomas Mann), a bestselling book on the 1940 fall of France, and numerous articles for Life, which employed her as a roving correspondent in the early days of World War II. Always fascinated with military strategy and intelligence, she was an ardent advocate of U.S. intervention in both hemispheres. After Pearl Harbor, her rage for fame became a rage for power that only politics would satisfy.

In an unprecedented move, probably never to be repeated, the Toronto Awesome Foundation elected this month to award TWO full $1000 prizes, instead of one! After a riveting performance by our four shortlist contenders (Park Yourself Here, Penny Project, Little Free Library, I'm Lost), we awarded money to both Park Yourself Here, a Park(ing) Day art installation to create public space in downtown Toronto by taking over a parking space, and Little Free Library, a project to build tiny pole-mounted libraries to be installed at Trinity Bellwoods Park and in other locations all across Toronto! Check out the video of our pitch night evening here:
Q&A with Bill Wrigley of Little Free Library:
Congratulations! What's your project all about?
The short term project of me and my team is to install Little Free Libraries in one of Toronto's larger and popular parks; Trinity Bellwood's located in Mike Layton's ward of Trinity-Spadina.
Little Free Libraries are miniature buildings the size of a doll house mounted on a post in a public area that have a sign saying: "Take a Book-Return a Book". They are for the public's pleasure and it's free. There are now over 2000 of them world-wide and growing fast. The first library opened in Toronto 9 months ago in front of our home. There are now 7 in operation with another 8 under construction. In addition, there are two other public parks that we are talking to about a similar arrangement.
Trinity Bellwoods park is always filled with people of all ages and has a very active "Friends of the Park" association. This is an ideal place for Little Free Libraries. We are committed to making the Little Free Library project happen there. However, the construction and installation costs of lumber, hardware, paint and labour will exceed $1000. We can provide the direction and project management. We can even provide a builder. However, we cannot provide the money.
The $1000 award that Awesome provided us will ensure that the project will happen much to the joy of those who use the park. More importantly, it will become the motivation for other parks to follow suit.
I've got/need books! Where can I find one of these libraries?
Once a Little Free Library is registered with the Little Free Library Organization, they appear on the organization's Google Map that is part of their web site (http://www.littlefreelibrary.org/). These libraries are all over the world: take a look for yourself. For Toronto, click in on the Toronto area of the map then click on one of the library icons closest to you. A picture of the library will pop up with the address of its location. As the Toronto libraries are recent installations, some of them are yet to be registered. In time we expect to have most of them on the Google Map.
I want to get more involved! Where can I learn more about Little Free Libraries, like how to build my own?
To start, visit the Little Free Library site that is loaded with pictures, ideas, plans and building tips, Go to: http://www.littlefreelibrary.org/.
For further information, Google "Little Free Libraries, Bill Wrigley" and see what crops up. There are tons of stuff regarding Toronto and the GTA to explore.
You can also me at email@example.com (remove nospam) to get into detailed questions. I can really help.
Q&A with Andrew Chiu of Park Yourself Here:
Congratulations, what's your project all about?
'PARK Yourself Here' is about transforming a Toronto downtown street parking spot into a temporary urban park. Rather than a placeholder for a single car this installation will become a place for people to gather. Interacting under the floating silhouette of a car, the passerby will have a chance to escape the hustle of the urban core.
This installation is to celebrate Park(ing) day, an annual open-source global event where citizens, artists and activists activate the metered parking space as a site for creative experimentation, political and cultural expression, and unscripted social interaction.
When is Park(ing) Day and where can I see your installation?
On Friday, September 21, hundreds of cities around the world will participate in transforming metered parking spaces into healthier and more beautiful places for their inhabitants. Here in Toronto, we will transform the metered parking space on Queen St. and Peter St. into a colorful and interactive experience for pedestrians. We will officially launch it at noon and it will run until 9:00pm.
Where can I find more information and get involved?
Please find more information and help fund our project at the crowdfunding website. Any donation will help us, thank you.
Congratulations to our winners!

Consumer NZ chief executive Suzanne Chetwin said the intense competition was good for consumers, even though one company, Genesis, recently pulled out of door-to-door sales.
"I also think what's happening a little bit is that when people do decide to switch the losing retailer contacts them and offers them a deal to stay," she said.
Electricity Authority chief executive Carl Hansen on Monday urged people to check whether they were getting the best deal available.
"Winter is a good time to check again since everyone tends to use more power over the colder months," Mr Hansen said.
"Even if you've already switched, it's beneficial to keep checking your options regularly."
On the authority's figures, the biggest savings available last year were in the Bay of Plenty, where the average consumer could save $288 a year or $24 a month by switching to the cheapest option. Ms Chetwin said many people in the region were loyal to Tauranga-based TrustPower and "they are expensive".
Meanwhile in Masterton, a representative for the Citizens Advice Bureau said it is always dealing with consumer concerns regarding power companies, but hadn't noticed a major increase in people coming in during the winter.
He said he has noticed that most power companies in Wairarapa have stopped door knocking or trying to persuade customers to stay with them if they decide to change companies.
"That kind of thing is frowned upon now."
The Citizens Advice Bureau can help you compare prices for power companies to find which one is best for you or you can go to www.whatsmynumber.org.nz/ or www.powerswitch.org.nz to compare prices.

Notes On The Cover Songs That Appear On The "Please Please Me" album
General Points Of Interest
Our study of the songs of the Beatles would not be complete without a modicum of attention paid to "the covers"; at least a brief comparison of the Beatles versions to the originals, as well as a consideration of the the cover repertoire in its relationship to the emerging Lennon/McCartney compositional style.
The group maintained an astonishingly broad variety of cover songs in their stage repertoire while on their way up, but when it came time to establish themselves as recording artists, it seems clear that they had, from the very beginning, a strong preference to record their own material. Witness for example their pushing back as early as September '62 on George Martin when he wanted them to do "How Do You Do It" for their first single instead of "Love Me Do". Even more significantly, note how, in England, they carefully avoided releasing any cover on a single, even as a B-side! Filling out EPs and LPs was one thing, but not for singles.
It is most common to rationalize the specific cover song choices on the "Please Please Me" album as having been selected on the basis of their nicely showcasing the talents of the group and providing a way for them to pay hommage to the music which they themselves enjoyed and which most directly influenced them.
Beyond this common wisdom, I think our cursory notes on each song below tend to suggest a number of additional ironies surrounding these cover songs:
- 1) They were at least partly chosen for the way in which they rounded out the group's repertoire or filled gaps in what the they were interested in or compositionally capable of providing for themselves at this stage of their career; i.e., these covers provided a type of material ready-made that they could/would *not yet* write as a matter of lacking some combination of technique, imagination, or nerve. On the later albums, (e.g. "For Sale" and "Help!") perhaps the very appearance of any covers was quite frankly a shortcut to filling out two sides of vinyl. At this early stage, it was a matter of fleshing out the act itself.
- 2) As much as the Beatles might be said to have been "inspired" or "influenced" by these specific cover songs, it is curious to note the extent to which these songs do *not* manifest very many, if any at all, of what we have come to see as the punchlist of early Beatles musical trademarks; the tricky chord progressions, the pungent vocal harmonies, the clever word play etc.
- 3) Most surprising of all is the way in which, for some of these covers, the Beatles' version transcends the original recording, not just by virtue of performance quality, but because of structural tweaks to the arrangement and composition!
Song-By-Song Walkthrough
KEY D Major
FORM Intro -> Verse -> Mini-refrain -> Verse -> Bridge -> Verse -> Bridge -> Verse -> Mini-refrain (complete ending)
COMPOSER Alexander
INFLUENTIAL VERSION Arthur Alexander (1962)
The original version is in the key of C and is slightly less syncopated than that of the Beatles. The Beatles arrangement closely follows the original with two telling differences: 1) it does not mimic the way that Alexander adds a string section to the backing starting in the second verse. This sort of layering would later become a common technique for the Boys but they didn't take the hint this time. 2) They replace the fadeout ending of the original with a complete one; already this had become a marked preference in their own material.
Among the six particular songs in this group, this one is among the most Beatles-like as a result of the love-related anguish in the lyrics, the slightly free-form phrasing of the verse, and of course, John's intense single track vocal. This is, btw, the only one of the six covers here to have been recorded by its composer.
Harmonically, note the emphasis on the I-vi progression starting right off in the intro, and the use of the minor iv chord in the bridge. Both these devices are fairly widespread and I don't mean to imply that their frequent use in the original songs of the Beatles is in any way directly related to *this* song; by the same token though, the appearance of such harmonies in this song *does* help reinforce whatever Lennon/McCartney-like resonance it may already have from other sources.
KEY B-flat Major
FORM Intro -> Verse -> Verse -> Bridge -> Verse -> Bridge -> Verse -> Outro (fadeout)
COMPOSERS Goffin/King
INFLUENTIAL VERSION The Cookies (1962)
The original recording is in the higher key of 'D.' and is performed a bit slower than the Beatles version. As with "Anna", the two treatments are remarkably similar with the exception of a saxophone used in one and an harmonica used in the other.
The verse of this song is in 12-bar blues form, and though its in a Major key, there are a number of minor-sounding inflections in the melody making the music sound both more bluesy and exotic. As I've written elsewhere (in an article on the Quarrymen in _Illegal Beatles #17_, as well as a 'Note' on the song "Birthday"), it seems that when it came to The Blues, that the Beatles preferred ordering takeout rather than take a chance with cooking it up for themselves; this song, as well as "Boys" below are certainly examples of this phenomenon.
The fadeout of the original version loops on a rote repeat of the final phrase; the Beatles characteristically stretch out one of those repeats, over a minor iv chord, no less.
KEY E Major
FORM Intro -> Verse -> Verse -> Bridge -> Verse (guitar solo) -> Verse -> Bridge -> Outro (fadeout)
COMPOSERS Dixon/Farrell
INFLUENTIAL VERSION The Shirelles (1962)
The original version is in the higher key of G and includes a piano and sax in the arrangement. The Beatles needed to change some of the words in order to make the gender pronouns come out right for a male lead singer, though they went beyond this and also changed the scat-sung phonemes for the backing vocals. The Shirelles save that backing vocal for the second verse but the Boys start it right off the bat -- further evidence that they had not yet learned the layering trick.
This song employs the 12-bar blues form throughout by use of a fairly old trick in which the backbeat and arrangement are modified for the "bridge" in order to disguise the fact that the music (or at least the chord progression and phrasing) is identical to that of the verses. The placement of the second bridge at the very end with a third repeat of it into the fadeout is an additional formal novelty, though personally, I don't think it is sufficient to prevent a certain monotony from setting in.
Intentional or not, this song started what would develop into a long-lived tradition for Ringo to be relegated to covers and/or novelty numbers for his carefully rationed solo vocal assignments. Up until Rubber Soul, the only *non*-cover was "I Wanna Be Your Man", and from then onward, even with his own few original compositions, we'd hear him more often than not on the likes of "Yellow Submarine" and "Octopus's Garden."
"Baby It's You"
KEY G Major
FORM Intro -> Verse -> Verse -> Verse (first half, piano solo) -> Outro (fadeout)
COMPOSERS M. David/Bachrach/Williams
INFLUENTIAL VERSION The Shirelles (1961)
Again, the Shirelles play it in the higher key of B-flat (the same relative transposition as in "Boys") and their vocals are more breathy and soulful, though perhaps, compared to John, less "intense." The original features an organ instead of a piano for the instrumental solo. And you might say that the Boys more smoothly join the gap between solo and second half of the middle verse.
This one is also rather Beatles-like for many of the same reasons enumerated above re: "Anna", right down to the heavy use of the I-vi chord progression. Other subtle touches which resonate with the Lennon/McCartney style are the verse opening on IV instead of I, the minor chords which hang like a cloud over its middle section, and the way its final phrase is rhetorically extended to an uneven length.
The form is very unsual, likely a consequence of the longish verse and slow tempo. There are only three verses in the song, and in instead of a real bridge, the first half of the middle verse is done up as break-like instrumental solo passage with the regular vocal part resuming in the second half. Although the form of "From Me To You" is otherwise quite different, the instrumental break there is very similarly handled.
"Taste of Honey"
KEY f# minor
METER 3/4 (Verse) and 4/4 (Bridge)
FORM Intro -> Verse -> Bridge -> Verse -> Bridge (complete ending)
COMPOSERS Marlow/Scott
INFLUENTIAL VERSION Lenny Welch (1962)
The original is in the lower key of e and runs a bit faster. It also has a *third verse* (plus bridge) absent from the Beatles version; perhaps their slower tempo argued in favor of dropping it. The arrangements are otherwise rather similar, although the Beatles feature a scalar walking bassline and a complete ending whereas the original fades out.
The music features a number of tricks: the slow intro and outro, the modally inflected minor key, and the constant switching between ternary and binary meters from section to section; the latter would eventually make its conspicuous appearance in several Beatles compositions, but not until much later.
This also happens to be a type of sticky sweet ballad of the sort to which Paul must have always been drawn but did not write for himself until, say, "And I Love Her" Interestingly, that particular song is not only heavily in the minor mode, but also has one special detail in common with "A Taste of Honey" -- both end surprisingly on a Major chord.
"Twist And Shout"
KEY D Major
FORM Intro -> Verse -> Verse -> Bridge + Arpeggio buildup -> Verse -> Bridge + Arpeggio buildup (complete ending)
COMPOSERS Russell/Medley
INFLUENTIAL VERSION The Isley Brothers (1962)
IMHO, this is the cover in which the changes made by the Beatles result in the most radical change of character and impact. The Isle"Yellow Submarine" play this in the higher key of F and the rhythmic swing of their performance and their brassy arrangement gives the song an entirely different feel from the Beatles' rendition; bluesy in an almost Latin way, as opposed to hard rock.
What the Beatles do to the *form* of the song, though, is what really counts; even more so than John's unprecedented vocal performance. The Isle"Yellow Submarine" end the song with an extended jam on the verse which follows the first arpeggio buildup. The Boys had the savy to not only repeat the bridge and buildup but to parlay the latter into a slow-triplet-bound complete ending. This gives the overall thrust of the song a much greater sense of teliology, of having "arrived" somewhere; the Isle"Yellow Submarine" (itself not at all a bad version by any means) sounds in comparison more like just static vamping.
Two other musical features, the use of only three chords (I-IV-V) throughout, and the antiphonal backing vocals, are reminiscent of the Beatles' own style, even though they had not yet, at this stage, written original songs with quite the same blistering beat in them as this one has. But that they surely would do, soon enough.

FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. – Tucson Catalina Foothills product Laura Jabczenski and Columbian standout Susana Mejia have signed a National Letter-of-Intent to attend Northern Arizona University and play golf, Head Coach Brad Bedortha announced on Wednesday.
"I think both players have the ability to come in and play for us immediately," said Head Coach Brad Bedortha. "We will need them to compete for us."
Jabczenski was a two-time Arizona State champion at Catalina Foothills High School for coach Mark Polich. She was named the Arizona Daily Star 2009 and was selected to the Arizona Republic's 2009 All-State team. She set nine Catalina Foothills school records including lowest scoring average and was chosen to represent Arizona at the Mary Cave Cup.
"We are very happy to sign Laura," said Bedortha. "She is a two-time state champion. She has a great personality and attitude and has excellent interaction with her teammates. I think she is going to be awesome for us."
She recently won the 2010 Arizona State Division II medalist honors, the seventh player from Southern Arizona to win a championship and the second to finish with back-to-back titles. She shot a five-over 145 with rounds of 71 and 74, helping her school win their second consecutive state championship. She follows her sister, Heather, who played at NAU from 2003-07 and was selected to the National Golf Coaches Association All-Scholar team.
Mejia attended Montemayour Sagrado Corazon and has won six tournaments in Columbia, while pacing second in four others. She has earned several top-five finishes at national tournaments and was been ranked No. 1 in the state rankings for the last four years and seventh in the Columbian Federation Junior Golf Rankings.
"She has the ability to be a very good golfer and has shown the skills to be a successful player," said Bedortha. "I saw her play in Florida this summer and really liked her game."
She finished 30th at the Optimist Junior International held in West Palm Beach, Fla., in August.

Subtract the volume of the plug, add what you get back from no brass case, add in the taper and freebore limiting how far back you could seat the bullet, and you'd probably come up with about the same chamber volume the .458 started with,
Normal engineering standards say a threaded length of 1.5 diameters are are strong as threads get, so a breech plug from 5/8 to 3/4" long would do.
Black powder performs a bit differently than most smokeless. With black, there's usually no real advantage to a necked-down case, so they were either straight or had long sloping shoulders to neck them down to smaller bullets.
Smokeless powders typically perform well in necked-down cartridges, and even the angle of the neck makes a detectable difference in performance. PO Ackley used to play with that kind of stuff.
Anyway, there's no reason you can't plug the chamber and run full .458 smokeless loads. It would be interesting to see how an AK receiver would handle that sort of thing, though.
Of course, being an AK, it's trivial to re-rivet or replace the receiver if necessary...
I was looking at building a black powder rifle a few months ago. Barrels are relatively inexpensive, but the lock mechanisms are outrageously priced. So I started looking at inline ignition using ordinary rifle bits, then realized there was no reason not to run smokeless if I used an appropriate barrel, and then found out Savage was already selling smokeless muzzle loaders, and... it was another "learning experience."

Back on track
THE humble two-wheeler has its own place in Sir Rod Eddington's $18 billion transport blueprint for Melbourne. It is a small place; $60 million to improve bike paths from Werribee, Williamstown and Footscray, the inner-north, Hawthorn, Richmond and Southbank.
The Eddington proposals dovetail neatly with Bicycle Victoria's plan to ease Melbourne's traffic and public transport woes. Sceptics might deride the cycling proposals in the Eddington blueprint as tokenistic, but they do recognise that bicycles will play a part in the city's transport future. And Bicycle Victoria chief executive Harry Barber is not going to argue with that.
In January, Premier John Brumby asked for ideas to improve transport flows in and out of the city. Bicycle Victoria responded by devising a detailed map of bike routes within a 10-kilometre radius of the CBD - the average distance travelled by beginner cyclists in Australia. The plan includes suggestions for how to make these routes more bike friendly and has borrowed ideas from Denmark and the Netherlands, where about 30% of the population rides to work - a figure Bicycle Victoria believes is achievable here. Other ideas have come from Montreal and Vancouver.
And they are not the only cities backing bicycles. London, for instance, wants to increase cycling around the city by 400% and plans to spend more than $1 billion over the next decade improving cycling routes and expanding the bike-hire network (an idea it borrowed from Paris). Eddington also proposes introducing bike-hire schemes in the inner-city and major suburban centres. And he suggests creating cycle "superstations" to provide parking, showers and lockers for commuting cyclists, an idea now being tested in London.
Bicycle Victoria's strategy aims to quadruple the number of cyclists commuting to work in the city. In March last year, bicycle traffic accounted for 7.9% of all vehicles entering the CBD (up from 3.9% in 2006). Some of Bicycle Victoria's ideas are simple and inexpensive, such as painting the bicycle lane green, or placing a rubber strip or a vibrating line between the bicycle lane and the road. Others are more sophisticated and expensive, such as the route now in place in Swanston Street where concrete barriers and a row of parked cars stand between cyclists and the traffic. This has become known as the Copenhagen lane.
In Australia, twice as many men as women cycle but in Denmark, the Netherlands and Japan, which enjoy a high standard of bike paths and other facilities, equal numbers of men and women ride. This suggests making the roads more bike friendly will encourage women riders. Barber says almost as many women as men ride along the Swanston Street's Copenhagen lane, which has become one of the busiest bike routes in Melbourne.
According to Barber, the Swanston Street case proves something else as well: cyclists will appear whenever steps are made to look after their interests. He believes Melbourne people want to cycle and will if the opportunities are there. According to the last census, the number who rode a bike to work in central Melbourne increased by 42% from 2001. The next best result was in Adelaide, where the increase was 31%.
But unfortunately the cycling renaissance is largely an inner-city phenomenon. Barber says bike strategies could also be developed around outer-suburban centres where traffic is dense, such as Dandenong. Eddington proposes that all new roads and infrastructure developments include walking and cycling components and that a new "whole of government approach to cycling policy and infrastructure" be adopted with the purpose of making cycling competitive with cars and buses for commuting and short trips.
The City of Yarra provides an interesting study. In the 2006-07 financial year, it built 3.18 kilometres of new bike lanes, improved bicycle access at 20 intersections and upgraded 6.5 kilometres of existing bike lanes - all for $500,000. It is no coincidence that more people ride to work in the city from Yarra than from any other municipality, says Barber (slightly more than 10% in 2006, twice the rate recorded in the City of Port Phillip, which has its own plans to improve city access for cyclists). Yarra and Port Phillip are part of the Inner Melbourne Action Plan, which also includes Melbourne and Stonnington. The four councils have worked together to develop the network forming part of Bicycle Victoria's strategy. Census data, counts of cyclists undertaken by volunteers during Super Tuesday, a Tuesday in March 2007, and data gathered by mechanical counters installed by Vic Roads at key locations, have also informed the proposal. The Eddington report suggests funding be given to seven cycling projects (see above) enhancing bicycle access from east to west, also to the CBD.
Melbourne's flatness is derided by more topographically varied cities to the north, but it does make it a good place to ride a bike. Barber says more people are cycling because petrol costs are rising, traffic is worsening, public transport is more crowded and there is a greater awareness of the importance of regular exercise. And of course global warming is one more good reason to keep the car at home and start pedalling, if you are able.

These dissolve instantly and no unpleasant taste. They seem to disappear within minutes meaning they are entering the system completely, unlike some that take about an hour.
Superior Source MicroLingual Methylcobalamin B-12

The micro tablets dissolve almost instantly and have no lingering after taste. I immediately felt the difference a boost in vitamin B-12 had on my system: no more brain fog, no more lethargy, and no more angst. I purchased two bottles: the second one for my mom. She also felt an immediate boost in energy and noticed her mental processing is becoming clearer.
ultra fast melt
Reviewer2882806님께서 11 11, 2012 에 작성하셨습니다. | 실제 주문자가 작성한 글
The pills are definitely small and red. I am currently using 1000 mcg once or twice a month. I was taking 5000 mcg once a week, which gave me insomnia and prostate pain. High levels of B12 apparently increases prostate cancer risk. Without blood tests, it's hard to know the right dose. These are very low in sugar. The bottle has a screw cap with cardboard in the cap. There is an absorbent in the bottle. It was messy opening the bottle - the cotton piece pulled out a few pills and red dust got all over the bottle. The foil seal peels off fairly clean with no sticky residue. I might try capsules next time, since I don't think sublingual tablets are necessary for most people.

See my other review! They make a product that looks the same and comes with 100 pills per bottle instead of 60, bottles just a few cents different in price. I pick the bottle with 60 ct. because the B-12 come from Methylcobalamin, my research says that is the best. Sly changing the count instead of adjusting the price to keep both at 100 ct., just want to point out the difference. Don't think you can find a brand that disloves even close to these. So much easier on your body, and you get more from each dose.
Great b 12 product

Nice way to get b12 without the fillers, etc. So far I really like this product and I've used it for about a month now.

Can not tell any difference when using this. Nothing at all. I have ridges on my thumbnail and when I take B-12 my nail will start to smooth out and the ridges get smaller - not with this B-12. They got larger and started to get some on my other thumbnail. No energy, no nothing, could not tell I was even taking this.

Reviews of this property
My experience in this adventure in Madrid was great. Already the accommodation is well equipped (washing machine, cooker, fridge and small dining table) Living room with TV and a balcony overlooking the main street. And above all they make available wifi very well for news of his family if one has no access to the net with his mobile phone. The hosts are welcoming and helpful. I spent a good time in this slot while getting to know other people.
Mon expérience dans cette aventure à Madrid à était super. Déjà le logement est bien équiper ( Lave linge, cuisinière, frigo et petite table à manger) Salon avec télé et un balcon donnant sur la rue principal. Et surtout ils mettent à disposition le wifi très bien pour avoir des nouvelles des siens si on a pas accès au net avec son téléphone portable . Les hôtes sont accueillant et serviable. J'ai passé un bon moment dans ce logement tout en faisant connaissance avec d'autres personnes .
I had very good stay, Fanny is a charm (Julian did not know him); comfortable and quiet room. Everything it's OK.
Tuve muy buena estancia, Fanny es un encanto (a Julián no lo conocí); la habitación cómoda y tranquila. Todo muy bien.
Esperienza davvero bella! Padroni di casa favolosi e molto disponibili in qualsiasi momento. Casa molto carina, in una posizione ottima. Esperienza che spero si rifare presto.
Maja gente.
La habitación confortable, limpia, tranquila y muy situada. Intentare repetir con ellos.

Buena relación calidad/ precio

The room was confy. I stayed in Madrid for 11 days.
The kitchen wasnt the best but totaly enough for normal requirements.
(2 out of 4 heating plates from the cooker didnt work)
One big problem is that you cant look your own apartement door!!
The host´s were very nice to us! Fanny and julian are always here for you.
(You can call them any time of the day!)
The location is super good! Directly at he Metro Station Diego de Leon!
If i could lock my own room with a key i would always come back at any time!
I spent a week in this apartment and I have to say that it was great value for money. Fanny and Julian are very nice people and are always available to give advice to me. I didn't have any significant problems with this flat it was quite central and despite its being on the 4th floor there was a lift. In addition the area wasn't really that noisy during the night. Had a great time and would recommend to anyone looking for reasonably priced accommodation.

Jon Lester: Talks 'very, very positive … our door is always open'
|03.29.14 at 12:29 pm ET
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Red Sox left-hander Jon Lester discussed the "pause" that the Red Sox and he agreed to take in negotiations of a potential contract extension, suggesting that he found the talks "very encouraging," that he still wants to remain with the Sox beyond the expiration of his current contract at the end of this year but that the two sides felt that, with Opening Day upon them, it made sense to resume talks at a subsequent time. Lester, who'd said talks would have continued into the season had they reached "the 5-yard line," said that they had not reached the "red zone," thus resulting in the decision.
Still, the pitcher said that the "door is always open" to talks during the season, but that he'd be less directly involved in them in deference to his in-season responsibilities. He characterized the dialogue as "amicable," and showed no evidence of pessimism about the potential for a deal ultimately getting done.
Here is a transcript of some of his remarks:
On reaching the decision to 'pause' talks:
"We talked yesterday about it. That was a collective kind of statement from both sides. At the point where I felt like if we continued it would be a distraction. Just felt like for right now, that's probably the best decision for both sides."
Is there any disappointment that, given your interest in getting a deal done, you haven't accomplished that yet?
"I don't know if disappointing is the right word. I think any time you go into a position like this, you have to prepare yourself for something to not happen. Like I've said from the beginning, both sides, it was very encouraging, the stuff that was going on, but like I said and like Ben said, where we're at right now isn't a good time to continue. Just put it on pause for now and see where we go from there."
Have the negotiations been amicable?
"Absolutely. Absolutely. I don't want to say it's been pleasant. I don't think anytime you have a negotiation process it's pleasant. But amicable is a good word, a good way to describe it. Both sides have communicated very well. I've felt like I've been a part of it. Things have been pretty positive. I don't think there's, by any means, a bad end to this right now. I think everything ended on a positive note. Just for right now, we're going to put it on hold and maybe resume it a little bit later."
Could you talk again before the end of the season?
"I think so. I think both sides, like I said, have been really receptive. You just, our door is always open and I feel like their door is open. Like I said, just right now, with everything that's going on at the beginning of the season, we both decided that it would be a good time to just kind of take a step back, kind of regroup and see where it leads us."
If they called in, for instance, mid-May, and said let's try again, you'd be receptive?
"Yeah, I think, this is obviously different circumstances. I won't be as involved. When I say distraction, that's probably what I mean moreso than anything. We'll leave that to [agents Seth and Sam Levinson] and those guys and [GM Ben Cherington, CEO Larry Lucchino and principal owner John Henry] for them to get in a room or for them to get on a telephone and talk, and when things maybe get closer, then maybe me starting to get a little bit more involved. Just, with everything going on — we've got a lot going on these next couple weeks, this next month, so we just felt like it was a good time to take a step back."
Dustin Pedroia ended up talking with the team last spring training and then signing an extension in the summer. Can you envision a similar scenario?
"I think different circumstances. I don't know anything about a timeline. Like I said, I know as far as yesterday, I talked to Seth, I actually talked to Ben on the phone. We all collectively came up with this agreement. I think we all said yesterday that we're not going to put a timeline on it. If things progress and Ben and John and all those guys want to get together with Seth, like I said, our door is always open."
You still want to stay in Boston?
"Yeah. Yeah. That doesn't change anything. This hasn't been a war of words, like I'm sitting here pounding my fist and they're screaming at us. This has been, I feel like, very positive. I'm not going to go out and badmouth the Red Sox organization and I would hope they don't badmouth my side and my representation for the way we've handled it. Like I said, I think both sides have been very, very positive. Just for whatever reason, just the timeframe now, we just didn't get a deal done."
Did it get to the red zone?
"If it was the red zone, we'd still be talking. And I think that would be ideal. But like I said, for whatever reason, the timeline that we had here in spring training, we didn't get to that point. With that being said, that's not a negative. From day one, things have been very positive and good dialogue, but when you have something like this, Pedey's deal is a little bit different. I'm going into free agency. It's a little bit different circumstance. We're making sure that we cross our T's and dot our I's on everything and they're doing the same thing."

Ticks Found Here!
Here's a scary thought: Bush honeysuckle increases the risk of tick-borne disease.
It's not only scary, it's true!
A team of scientists with tick expert Brian F. Allan from Washington University in St. Louis conducted an extensive study of the relationship between ticks, deer and the invasive plant known as bush honeysuckle.
Though the study was done in the suburbs of St. Louis what they learned applies to Pennsylvania as well. Namely, that in dense stands of bush honeysuckle there are a lot more deer than usual, a lot more ticks than usual, and a higher proportion of the ticks carry disease.
More deer than usual? The researchers ran deer density counts inside and outside the honeysuckle areas. In the honeysuckle zone there were 5 times as many deer.
A lot of ticks? You bet! One of Brian Allan's tick traps caught 5,000 nymphal stage ticks in a single location. Ticks don't walk far to get a meal — less than 10 feet — so that spot in the honeysuckle was loaded and dangerous.
Even worse, when they ground up the ticks and tested the mash for bacterial and deer DNA, they discovered that ticks found inside the honeysuckle zone were 10 times more likely to carry bacterial disease than those outside — and they caught it from deer blood.
So why do deer like honeysuckle so much?
People used to think that deer liked honeysuckle for its berries but the researchers proved the deer don't care about the fruit. Deer hang out in the honeysuckle because it provides great cover. It's 18% denser than our native vegetation and it's first to leaf out in the spring (it's the only green shrub right now) and it's last to lose leaves in the fall. Deer love it. They sleep there.
The result is that you're much more likely to catch a tick-borne disease if there's a lot of bush honeysuckle around. In Missouri you'll catch Ehrlichiosis, in Pennsylvania, Lyme disease.
Bush honeysuckle is everywhere, especially in parks and gamelands.
But there's one positive take-away. This news may prompt people to try harder to eradicate bush honeysuckle — and that would make our native plants very happy.
Read more about the study in this October 12, 2010 article in Science Daily. Don't miss Brian Allan's description of his tick trap.

Lyme's disease has puzzled me for years now. In New Jersey according to the CDC as of 1999, 25% of nymphs and 50% of adult deer ticks carry Lyme's. Knowing how easy it is to for a human to "get" a visible (ie. lonestar or dog tick) tick, it must be as easy to "get" the less visible deer tick. Given the level of exposure for most outdoorsy people, I would figure that just about everyone of my friends should have Lyme's by now. So far, I do not know anyone personally who has been diagnosed. I wonder if there are other unknown factors which aid in the transmission, genetic vulnerabilty for instance. I believe that Lyme's exists. Among other strategies, I try to stay out of leaf litter in the spring and brush in the fall. I try to stick to the middle of wide paths as I do not wish to contract Lyme's. However, I wonder if these and other restrictions I put I my activities are necessary. Most people do not use any precautions and most people have, so far, not contracted Lyme's. What does anyone else think?
# Joshua Schultzon 05 Apr 2011 at 11:02 am
Umm . . . not to sound disparaging, but I wouldn't worry too much about this. As long as you steer clear of honey suckle you shouldn't be affected, and if honeysuckle is irradiated, the deer will find some other dense bush to sleep in and the ticks will follow them there. Saying that honeysuckle causes more ticks is like saying that low laying areas cause more water, it's just were they tend to collect. As far as getting rid of an invasive species, on the other hand, go for it.
# Kate St. Johnon 05 Apr 2011 at 12:44 pm
Yes, it's a mystery where ticks are & where they aren't. The only non-mystery is that they'd be where deer sleep => bush honeysuckle.
I hike a lot & sometimes bushwhack (when acting as a Land Steward I had to bushwhack to check the boundaries). In my travels I've found places that are tick-infested beyond anything I can stand: the Belle Plain State Forest in NJ and a place on the Clarion River in Jefferson County near Hidinger Rd where I used to be a Land Steward for WPC. I have no explanation for the infestations as those two places. They were so infested that people who lived there kept guinea fowl (they eat ticks).
In spring-summer-fall, I always wear long light-colored pants and (when off-trail) I pull my socks over the bottoms of my pants. I check my clothes religiously over & over while I'm in the field. I HATE ticks.
Predictable places to find them: In my experience they are off trail, in brushy places, often near a stream. If I see a tick on my pants I know that it's a site where I can NEVER SIT DOWN. All the other precautions are fine but if you sit down where there are ticks, all bets are off.

Funny that you mention sitting down. I've also noted that sitting down is the surest way to attract attention from the meal-searching set.
# Joshua Schultzon 06 Apr 2011 at 11:47 am
If you want to know where to ticks hang out, just ask my dog. I can't think of a time we went on a hike with her that she didn't get ticks! Also, interestingly enough, she has contracted lyme's disease, which causes her to limp sometimes. She seems to be doing just fine otherwise.

Finally Mandy likes music which resides between techno and house. She is one of the kind who formed and developed minimal techno especially in the eastern part of Germany.

If ever there were two schizophrenic snow seasons in Steamboat, it was the back-to-back winters of 2010-11 and 2011-12. While both entered the record books, they did so for markedly different reasons — the former for its bounty and the latter for its bleakness.
The 2010-11 season was unprecedented — including a 433-inch ski season, a 90-inch record November and a May snow stake on Buff Pass registering 732 percent of average, the deepest snowpack in Colorado history. Someone even put a snorkel on the Buddy Werner statue atop Mount Werner. Fast forward a year, and it was the exact opposite. Despite a 24-hour midmountain record 27 inches on Presidents Day, the same snow stake on Buff Pass clocked in at just 7 percent of average in May, and the resort tallied just 228 inches.
"The past two years couldn't have been more different," says Art Judson, a former avalanche forecaster and climatological observer for the National Weather Service.
So what does all of this spell for this year? Who knows. While old-timers might watch this year's skunk cabbage, woolly bear caterpillar's stripes, hay crop harvest, blackbird migration and beaver dam height, here's our prediction: It won't be any worse than last year or any better than the year before.
"The good news is we've never had two record low years in a row," Judson says.
Our advice? Stock up on P-tex and powder snorkels.

The Australian sharemarket may have finished in positive territory on Friday, but it glosses over what was an otherwise disappointing day as major Asian benchmarks outperformed.
Domestic shares and the currency enjoyed early gains, but these were chewed up by lunchtime and both measures flat-lined in afternoon trade.
Investors now turn their attention to the US, where October non-farm payrolls data are released. Arguably, there's more than just the direction of the market riding on the outcome of this one, as it's the largest major data point for the US voters before Tuesday's presidential election. Sweatin' on it.
It's been an otherwise odd week for the US, where superstorm Sandy prompted the suspension of Wall Street trading on Monday and Tuesday. Bond markets were also shut, though some electronic trading in commodities, futures and currencies still took place.
It was the longest Wall Street closure since the September 11 terrorist attacks, and the first weather-related full-day closure since Hurricane Gloria in 1985. This may have unsettled traders' plans to prepare themselves for Friday night's jobs numbers, so it's been a very wonky week.
■ Futures were tipping Wall Street to open 0.06 per cent lower tonight, and had been sliding through the afternoon.
■ The S&P/ASX 200 closed 2.45 points, or 0.05 per cent, higher at 4460.1. Volume was a below-average 720 million shares.
The index had been as high as 4486.4 in early trade following a 1 per cent gain on Wall Street on Thursday night, but none of that momentum seemed to carry over.
– Materials (1.19 per cent), IT (0.66 per cent), industrials (0.17 per cent) were the best sectors of the day. Weakest were utilities (-0.68 per cent), consumer staples (-0.47 per cent) and financials (-0.40 per cent).
– For the week, the S&P/ASX 200 was down 0.27 per cent. The benchmark rose in four of the five sessions, but it was the 1.31 per cent slump on Thursday – the biggest one-day fall since July 23 – that had the most impact on the week's overall performance.
For the week, materials (1.03 per cent), IT (0.62 per cent) and utilities (0.53 per cent) were best, while consumer staples (-1.04 per cent), financials (-0.82 per cent) and energy (-0.76 per cent) were weakest.
■ The Australian dollar was fetching $US1.0395 in afternoon trade, drifting below the Thursday night close of $US1.0401.
For the week, the currency was up 0.2 per cent. November 3 marks two years since the dollar closed above parity with the greenback.
■ Traders are pricing in a 56 per cent chance the RBA will cut the cash rate 0.25 percentage points on Tuesday. Softer-than-expected September-quarter producer price inflation data released on Friday may have prompted some market watchers to think the door was still open for a rate cut, but consumer inflation data released in the previous week has done the most damage to those hopes.
■ Government bonds were continuing to sell off in afternoon trade. The yield on the benchmark 10-year bond was up 5.2 basis points at 3.172 per cent and the yield on the 3-year bond was up 6.5 basis points at 2.622 per cent.
■ Around Asia, Japan's Nikkei was up 1.11 per cent at 9046.22, Hong Kong's Hang Seng was up 1.42 per cent at 22,132.25 per cent and China's Shanghai Composite was down 0.04 per cent at 2103.55.
