MarketBeat calculates consensus ratings using the most recent rating from each brokerage that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Since brokers often use different ratings systems, each rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings. Each stock's consensus rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0-1.5 = Sell, 1.5-2.5 = Hold, 2.5-3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months.MarketBeat will no longer include ratings and price target data in its consensus calculation if a broker drops coverage and MarketBeat has received a report that coverage was dropped. Ratings from certain research firms that issue ratings using purely quantitative methods (such as Zacks, Vetr and ValuEngine) are not included in consensus calculations. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.Ratings Breakdown: No ratings tracked in the last 12 months.Consensus Rating:N/A (Score: NaN)Consensus Price Target: N/A Analysts' Ratings History for Londonmetric Property PLC (LON:LSP) Show: Only the Most Recent Rating From Each Brokerage All Ratings For This Stock DateFirmActionRatingPrice TargetDetails9/1/2015J P Morgan Chase & CoBoost Price TargetOverweightGBX 185 -> GBX 1958/28/2015Canaccord GenuityReiterated RatingBuyGBX 1898/24/2015Jefferies Group LLCDowngradeHoldGBX 163 -> GBX 1658/5/2015Panmure GordonReiterated RatingBuyGBX 199(Data available from 7/26/2015 forward) Earnings Earnings History for Londonmetric Property PLC (LON:LSP)No earnings announcements for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Estimates Earnings Estimates for Londonmetric Property PLC (LON:LSP)Current Year EPS Consensus Estimate: $0.00 EPSNext Year EPS Consensus Estimate: $0.00 EPS Dividends Dividend History for Londonmetric Property PLC (LON:LSP)No dividend announcements for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Insider Trades Insider Trading History for Londonmetric Property PLC (LON:LSP)No insider trades for this company have been tracked by MarketBeat.com Headlines Headline Trends for Londonmetric Property PLC (LON:LSP) Latest Headlines for Londonmetric Property PLC (LON:LSP) Source: All Sources Trusted Sources MarketBeat.com Bloomberg MarketWatch Motley Fool NASDAQ Reuters Seeking Alpha The Street The Wall Street Journal Yahoo Finance DateHeadlineLondonmetric Property PLC's (LMP) Hold Rating Reaffirmed at Liberum Capitalwww.americanbankingnews.com - March 14 at 12:23 AMDIRECTOR DEALINGS: Two LondonMetric Non-Executives Buy Shareswww.morningstar.co.uk - July 7 at 8:56 AMLondonMetric Nets GBP8 Million As Joint Venture Sells UK Retail Parkswww.morningstar.co.uk - May 10 at 12:58 PMLondonMetric Property Sells Taunton Odeon Cinema For GBP9.1 Millionwww.morningstar.co.uk - April 14 at 12:39 PMLondonMetric Property Buys Three UK Warehouses For GBP21.8 Millionwww.morningstar.co.uk - March 18 at 11:29 AMDIRECTOR DEALINGS: LondonMetric Property Executives Sell, Buy Shareswww.morningstar.co.uk - February 8 at 10:08 AMLondonMetric Sells Odeon Multiplex In Preston For GBP10.2 Millionwww.morningstar.co.uk - January 25 at 9:49 AM Social Chart Londonmetric Property PLC (LSP) Chart for Wednesday, July, 26, 2017 This page was last updated on 7/26/2017 by MarketBeat.com Staff

To the surprise of practically no one, the Archdiocese of New York is moving to large-scale parish closings, according to a story in Capital:
"The Archdiocese of New York took a major step last week toward consolidating its dense network of 376 parishes, entering the final stages of planning for what is likely to result in the most significant sweep of parish closings seen here in recent memory.
Early last week, an advisory board that has been working for months with outside consultants to find ways to streamline the centuries-old archdiocese quietly sent its preliminary recommendations to local working groups—known as clusters—for review. It is the first time a broad consolidation plan such as this has been handled this way."
The report went on to say:
"It's unclear how many churches have been targeted for closure by the 40-member board. But archdiocesan officials acknowledge the closures could be far more significant than the last round, in 2007, when 21 parishes were closed amid protests by long-time worshipers. Dozens of churches could be shuttered in the current sweep.
'I can't put a number on it at this point because there's still a lot of process that needs to go through, but that certainly is a possibility,' Joseph Zwilling, the spokesman for the archdiocese, said last week."
Stay tuned.

Suburban water districts say Portland plan is hard to swallow
Portland City Councils looming decision to fluoridate water from Bull Run Reservoir could prevent a lot of children from getting holes in their teeth.
But the speedy-quick decision is punching holes in Portlands relations with Gresham and other communities that buy 40 percent of Portlands Bull Run water supply.
We really feel like we got blindsided on this issue, says Mark Knudson, chief engineer for the Tualatin Valley Water District, the second-largest water utility in Oregon.
The Washington County district, and the dozen other suburban water utilities that depend on Bull Run water, met Aug. 8 with officials from the Portland Water Bureau, Knudson says, and not a word was said about fluoride.
They found out about it the next day, when The Oregonian published a story about the stealth lobbying campaign by public health groups to press for fluoridation, and support for the idea from City Commissioner Randy Leonard, who oversees the Portland Water Bureau.
Bad vibes among the 13 suburbs and water districts that buy much of Portlands water may do little to halt what seems like an inevitable City Council vote Sept. 12 to fluoridate Bull Run water, after a cursory public hearing Sept. 6. But if the public concludes that Portland botched the process such as by making a decision before taking public testimony or consulting with its largest customers and business partners that could spur residents to sign petitions to overturn the decision at the ballot box.
Gresham officials are so miffed that theyre threatening to deny their share of the reported $5 million construction cost, plus annual operating expenses, to add fluoride to the water.
We have been left on the sidelines, learning about the issue in the media, without a viable role in the decision-making process, Gresham Mayor Shane Bemis wrote in an Aug. 24 letter to Portland Mayor Sam Adams. Especially given the lack of voice given to the wholesale customers on this issue, I trust that we will not be billed for any expenses associated with this change.
Talking to customers
West Slope Water District ranks as one of the medium-sized water utilities with long-term contracts to buy Portland water. Yet the suburban Washington County community still serves 14,600 residents and pays $1 million a year to the city, says Jerry Arnold, general manager.
Weve always had what I would call a partnership with the city of Portland, Arnold says. This certainly runs counter to that. It sure leaves a bad taste in our mouth.
Leonard says he left it up to Upstream Public Health and other advocates to lobby his peers on the issue, since he has supported fluoridating water since 1975. Then he left for vacation in early August, planning to go public with his support at an Aug. 22 press conference.
I was going to meet with the wholesale customers before that, Leonard says. But then the issue got away from him.
While I was still on vacation, he says, the mayor and (City Commissioner) Nick Fish came out and said they would support it.
That meant the decision was essentially made without so much as a public hearing, or consultation with the other communities that pay $15 million a year for Portland water.
The proposal to fluoridate Portlands water didnt come from the Portland Water Bureau, says bureau Administrator David Shaff; it came from the boss who hired him, Leonard. I wasnt in a position to say, Hey, this is whats being talked about, Shaff says.
Shaff says he first learned about Upstream Public Healths lobbying effort in February 2011, when fluoride opponents got wind of the underground campaign and appealed to him to oppose it. Charlie White, an opponent of fluoridation who lives in the Tualatin Valley Water District, was the one who approached Shaff.
He assured her his bureau wasnt pushing fluoridation, White says, but Leonard declined to meet with her.
Leonard and Shaff say the city gets to call the shots on how it runs its water system, under terms of the long-term contracts. The wholesale customers concur, though they say the city consulted them in the past on key policy decisions involving the water system.
Nobody is contesting the fact that Portland has the power and the ability to pass this, says Eric Chambers, senior adviser to Gresham Mayor Bemis. Theres a difference between the ability to do something and the right way to do something. If they were talking to advocacy groups back then, it sure seems like they could have talked to the wholesale customers.
Leonard says they have a point. I think they legitimately have an argument they need to know more about whats going on, he says.
However, Leonard adds, in the end theyre going to get fluoride, and thats part of the cost of delivering the water, so they must pay for it.
Gresham disagrees. Its obligated to pay for essential improvements to the water system such as fixing pipes, Chambers says, but adding fluoride is an elective decision. That would not be covered, we believe, by the terms of the contract, Chambers says.
Metzger decision
Tualatin Valley Water District isnt as miffed as Gresham. But it may have more issues with its constituents. The district was formed in 1991 by the merger of two smaller water districts.
Voters in the former Wolf Creek Highway Water District, which serves 183,157 citizens in suburban Washington County, voted 60 percent to 40 percent in 1963 to add fluoride to the water supply. But the 19,439 residents of the other part of the district, in the former Metzger Water District, never took such a vote. Ever since the merger in 1991, district leaders have promised they wouldnt add fluoride to the Metzger part of the district without a public vote.
Now that appears to be a hollow promise.
Leonard says the wholesale customers wont have a choice of whether or not to fluoridate the water they get from Bull Run. Thats because its far cheaper and easier to add the fluoride at the water bureaus plant at Lusted Hill, soon after the water flows downhill from the Bull Run Reservoir, and where the bureau already adds chlorine to the water.

Moscow (RIA Novosti) Nov 06, 2007
A deal to build a leg of a major Russian oil pipeline to China will not be signed during Prime Minister Wen Jibao's visit to Moscow on Tuesday, a Russian government source said on Monday. In Moscow, the final destination in Jibao's tour of former Soviet states which comprised Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Belarus, the Chinese premier with meet with his Russian counterpart, Viktor Zubkov.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Zhukov said on a visit to China in September that a deal on a leg of the 4,100-km (2,550-mile) pipeline, which will transport crude from Siberia to Asian markets, could be signed at the two premiers' meeting in Moscow.
"The agreement will not be ready by this meeting," an official said.
The official said talks on the pipeline are continuing, and the energy-hungry China is receiving Russian oil by rail.
"Supplies have been carried out in full. China is not worried about their continuity now," he said adding Russia wants a comprehensive treaty on long-term supplies with purchase guarantees and a pricing policy set out in it.
"We need a comprehensive deal, not the one dealing with the construction of the pipeline only," he said.
Oil supplies by rail to the Asian nation will be increased to 15 million metric tons a year. Under the current agreement, Russia is to supply China with a total of 48.4 million metric tons of oil between February 2005 and December 2010.

Comments Written By Paul Jones 9:31 AM, 08 May 2014 The MasterChef semi-finalists were on Albert Square last night, aiming to bring fine dining to the residents of Walford. "We're more used to pies round here," said one – but that didn't mean they weren't looking forward to something a bit special. So after a hard morning in the Queen Vic, landlord Mick Carter (aka Danny Dyer) was not too happy about being kept waiting for his grub... "I wish they'd liven theirselves up, know what I mean? Twenty minutes I've been waiting…" "Oh, it's comin' out now, look, go on. 'Ere we go…" "Beautiful. Look at that, look. Get on it!" "Listen mate, I'll tell you what, it's freezing! If it was just a bit warmer that'd be nice… Gotta eat it lively, gotta eat it quick!" "It had the potential to be beautiful, that's the frustrating thing. But, nah, you can't 'ave a bit of cold parsnip wrapped round yer." After a hard day's cooking, John and Gregg head off for a well-deserved pint – and maybe a bit of a barney with the landlord...

Utah renews one of its spicier rivalries this week when it travels to Georgia, but the Gym Dogs are still dealing with controversy over their meet with rival Alabama before they can turn their attention to the Utes.
On Friday, Alabama beat Georgia 197.025-196.175 in Athens, Georgia's fourth straight loss. Alabama coach Sarah Patterson complained afterward in a press release that her team was able to win despite an unexpected uneven bars setup.
Patterson said she received a memo from Georgia stating the meet would use freestanding bars instead of cable bars, the latter being more common now because they are sturdier and shake less.
Patterson said as a result of the memo her team trained on the freestanding bars "all week."
Georgia coach Suzanne Yoculan said she didn't know where the memo came from, because Georgia no longer includes an equipment list with the packet it sends to teams. In checking into the matter, Yoculan found out Alabama requested an equipment list on Wednesday and a secretary e-mailed it to the school, not realizing it was several years old and listed older mats as well as the old-style bars.
Yoculan is furious, believing Patterson intentionally used the mistake as a way of portraying Georgia as cheating, and pointed out that Alabama wouldn't have had a week to prepare on the bars since the e-mail wasn't sent until Wednesday.
Mark it down as the latest spat in a long-standing battle between the SEC coaches, which is why the two no longer compete outside of their conference schedules.
Utah coach Greg Marsden said he received an e-mail from Yoculan on Sunday reiterating cable bars would be used Friday.
"I'm not going to get in the middle of something between those two, but it wouldn't make much difference to us," Marsden said. "We don't have any [free-standing] bars anyway. We just go to the arenas and adjust to what they have when we get there."
No longer at the top
As expected, Utah lost its top ranking Monday, when the rankings switched to the regional qualifying scoring (RQS) system instead of the season average. The RQS uses six scores, throws out the high, then averages the rest, three of which must be road scores.
LSU is the new No. 1 team, followed by UCLA, Michigan and Utah.
BYU is 13th, SUU is 16th and Utah State is No. 25.
Individually, Utah's Ashley Postell is ranked No. 3 in the all-around and Annabeth Eberle is No. 10. Rachel Tidd is fourth on the uneven bars and Nicolle Ford is eighth.
Gritty wrist
Utah senior Gritt Hofmann is hoping to get back into the lineup for Friday's meet, at least on the floor, after sitting out the Nebraska meet.
Hofmann has been bothered by a sharp pain in her left wrist, and had a cortisone shot in it a week ago. However, the injection made it more sore, although it is feeling better now.
"It hurts when I do handstands," Hofmann said. "I hope I can at least do something Friday, if not all [her events]."
Where's the hitting coach
After opening the season with three straight scores above 195, BYU has scored in the 194 range in three of its last four outings, including Friday's 194.75-194.475 loss to Southern Utah.
"It's like a hitting slump in midseason, when a team does really well then all of a sudden, things quit clicking," BYU coach Brad Cattermole said. "But we can't look back, we'll get through this."
Watering down
Those who attended the BYU-SUU meet probably paid particular attention to SUU's Carly Geronimo on the floor, an event she spent much of the season ranked in the top 10. However, she performed only a watered-down version of her routine, as did her teammates, because they couldn't get used to BYU's floor.
"We just couldn't adjust to it, we were dying on that thing," SUU coach Scott Bauman said.
Geronimo still scored a 9.825, and is ranked 20th on the floor in a tie with teammate Sheena Shaw.
Disappointing crowd
Nebraska hoped for a big crowd for Sunday, with the then top-ranked Utes coming to town, and with the men competing against Oklahoma at the same time. However, just 1,993 fans turned out for the meet, only 943 more than were in attendance for Nebraska's only other home meet, against Oklahoma. It was more than Utah expected, but not what Nebraska coach Dan Kendig had hoped for. Nebraska averaged just 1,331 fans last year.
"It's disappointing to have the No. 1 team in here and it isn't filled to the rafters," he said.
Aggies on the run
After losing its first five meets, Utah State has won its last two, scoring a 194.55 to beat Boise State, which had a 193.4 on Friday. Freshmen Jacki Fogli, Katie Omann and Megan Tschida combined for seven career highs and four top three finishes in the meet.
Around the nation
Stanford, which comes to Salt Lake City next week along with Florida and California, lost to defending champion UCLA 196.3-194.625, but the meet was closer than the score indicated through the first two rotations, when UCLA led just 98.3-98.25. Stanford fell apart on the balance beam, scoring only a 47.55.
This week
Friday: Boise State at No. 25 Utah State, 7 p.m.; No. 4 Utah at No. 8 Georgia, 5:30 p.m.; No. 16 SUU at Cal State Fullerton, 8 p.m.
Saturday: Boise State at No. 13 BYU, 7 p.m.

* Canadian dollar at C$1.3003 or 76.91 U.S. cents * Bond prices mostly lower across the maturity curve TORONTO, July 28 (Reuters) - The Canadian dollar firmed against its U.S. counterpart on Tuesday as investors positioned themselves ahead of Wednesday's Federal Reserve interest rate decision. The price of oil, a major Canadian export, remained under pressure amid a sell-off in Chinese stocks and concerns about oversupply, but was a touch higher after sliding earlier in the session. The U.S. central bank kicks off a two-day meeting on Tuesday and will issue its policy statement on Wednesday. Some expect the Fed to give a clearer signal as to when it will hike interest rates, with many economists forecasting September. Slowing growth in China, the world's second largest economy, and soft commodity prices have spurred speculation that the Fed could delay a rate hike - the first since 2006 - until next year. A U.S. rate hike this year would be in divergence to the Bank of Canada, which has already cut rates by 25 basis points twice this year, and is expected to eventually drive the Canadian dollar toward even weaker levels. * At 8:55 a.m. EDT (1255 GMT), the Canadian dollar was trading at C$1.3003 to the U.S. dollar, or 76.91 U.S. cents, stronger than the Bank of Canada's official close of C$1.3045, or 76.66 U.S. cents on Monday. * The loonie, while off 2004 lows, was still trading between C$1.2996 and C$1.3043 on Tuesday. * In Canada, data showed producer prices rose 0.5 percent in June from May due to higher prices for energy and petroleum products, as well as motorized and recreational vehicles. * U.S. crude prices were up 0.08 percent to $47.43 a barrel, after going as low as $46.68, while Brent crude lost 0.94 percent to $52.97, after sliding to as low as $52.28. * The Canadian dollar, which was stronger than many of its currency counterparts, is expected to trade between C$1.2970 and C$1.3050 against the U.S. dollar on Tuesday, according to RBC Capital Markets. * Canadian government bond prices were mostly lower across the maturity curve, with the two-year down 3 Canadian cents to yield 0.435 percent and the benchmark 10-year falling 41 Canadian cents to yield 1.5 percent. The Canada-U.S. two-year bond spread widened to -23.9 basis points, while the 10-year spread narrowed to -76.6 basis points. (Reporting by Solarina Ho; Editing by Paul Simao)

Field Mouse - You Guys Are Gonna Wake Up My Mom
Field Mouse were a group of people that existed within my circle of friends but I don't think we were ever in the same place. Mathematically, it seemed that we would eventually run into each other and when I did, I was excited to invite them over to record. Field Mouse are currently working on an EP to be released this summer. There has also been some talk of a split with Very Okay.

By Jayne O'Donnell, USA TODAY
Just like cellphones, cars are getting more high-tech, with dashboard navigation systems, touch-screen climate controls and often hundreds of satellite radio channels to scroll through.
Automakers have been working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration as it drafts guidelines to reduce distractions from in-car technology. The first phase of the guidelines is expected this fall.
Members of the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, which includes most major automakers except Honda, agree to follow their own procedures for "information and communication systems" to reduce distraction. The Association of International Automobile Manufacturers, which represents 15 imported automakers, says its members make their own decisions on in-car distractions.
WEIGHING IN: Runge: Focus on driver distractions misdirected
WRONG WAY? Is distracted-driving attention overdone?
VIDEO: Faces of distracted driving
Consumer Reports said this month that the touch-screen computer standard in many Ford models to control the radio, temperature and navigation was "overly complicated and distracting" and dropped its recommendation of models with it. Last fall, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood criticized General Motors' OnStar communication system for allowing people to verbally update their Facebook or Twitter status while driving.
The department's own research showed talking to passengers was the leading distraction in 7,000 crashes NHTSA studied last year, but it says a conversation involves only "cognitive" distraction, while other activities, such as texting and presumably interacting with your dashboard, involve a more dangerous combination of "manual, visual and cognitive" distraction.
AAM's guidelines say drivers should not have to look away for more than two seconds at a time or a total of 20 seconds to complete a task. "Entertainment systems" were grandfathered in because people have been changing the radio for decades.
What some automakers are doing:
•BMW. Navigation controls can be used while the car is moving and were tested using driving simulators. Drivers with BlackBerry devices can also now read three lines of their e-mail through the cars' computer screens; the rest is read aloud by the computer.
•Hyundai. Voice-activated navigation systems with a backup operator will be on two 2012 models. Hyundai customer satisfaction director Barry Ratzlaff says using a touch-screen navigation system while driving is as safe as a touch-screen radio and far safer than reading printed directions or doing what his father used to do when he got lost: Stop in the middle of the road.

BALDWIN PARK - In a 3-2 vote Wednesday, the City Council decided to move forward with a $90,000 study to evaluate a contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
After a much heated debate between council members who had differing interpretations of the city's financial data and the actual costs associated running the city's police department, Mayor Manuel Lozano and council members Marlen Garcia and Monica Garcia supported moving forward with the second phase of a study on the feasibility on opting for the Sheriff's Department. Council members Susan Rubio and Ricardo Pacheco voted against the move.
On July 2, the City Council directed staff to explore options to address long-term fiscal challenges, including possibly outsourcing public safety services.
The first portion of the study was presented Wednesday, showing that a contract with the Sheriff's Department could result in an estimated $4.5 annual savings. However, council members Pacheco and Rubio questioned the city's projections and the savings associated with those estimates.
Rubio requested that the council take more time to evaluate the first phase of the study before moving forward, however Lozano made a motion to proceed with the $90,000 study, which could take up to six months to complete. That study will provide a more extensive analysis into the start-up costs and a review of personnel, equipment and the police facility, according to a staff report.
Baldwin Park is projecting a $1 million deficit in its $23.5 million budget for the current fiscal year. City officials have said it's the long-term challenges posed by pension and retiree medical benefits that have them concerned.
The contract proposal includes a 40 percent increase in sworn patrol officers who would work out of Baldwin Park's current police facility.

The scientist took vergil's blood and cloned Vergil and fused demonic essense so Vergil is stronger. The game begins when Nero can no longer activate his devil trigger because the phantom disappeared. I believe that Nero's trigger phantom is Vergil's soul. When the clone the scientist made is finished, Vergil's soul takes over the body and Vergil is back, stronger than ever.

WHEN Anthony Mundine finished questioning Daniel Geale's Aboriginal heritage, much of the rest of yesterday's press conference centred on the things the Tasmanian had that Mundine wanted: the two belts he currently holds.
Mundine and Geale will fight for the IBF title but doubts still surround the prospect of the controversial Mundine fighting to become the unified middleweight champion of the world, which would put him closer to what he truly wants, a shot at American Floyd Mayweather.
''I want the best fights,'' Mundine said of his motivation.
This is expected to be one of those. How significant it is depends on crucial discussions still taking place.
Geale's US promoter Gary Shaw is negotiating with WBA officials and said yesterday: ''As of right now, there's no resolution but we're continuing to work on it. But I will say this, Anthony Mundine - if you have a telephone with a camera on it, you should take some pictures of the belts, because that's as close as you're going to get to them.''
No date or venue was announced, although the likelihood is the fight will be held in January.
While he was forced to respond to questions about whether a defeat could end his career, Mundine, 37, maintained he was ''in his prime''.
''I'm looking to dominate the fight … and finish him when I'm ready,'' Mundine said. ''I just want to exterminate him. That's what I want to do.''

BUSINESS leaders canvassed by the Herald are solidly in favour of creating a sovereign wealth fund to bolster Australia's future, but they differ on its design and purpose.
Executives from Lend Lease, Tabcorp, Foster's, Mirvac, CSL and Coca-Cola Amatil have joined the Fairfax Media chairman, Roger Corbett, and the Commonwealth Bank chief executive, Ralph Norris, in calling for a sovereign wealth fund to better manage the nation's legacy from the resources boom.
They are concerned about the long-term cost to the economy of high commodity prices and high terms of trade, and believe the nation should take advantage of the boom while it lasts.
But there is little agreement as to the design of a fund, with some calling for a stabilisation fund and others saying the fund should be used for savings.
"I see two major benefits arising from the formation of a fund,'' Mirvac's chairman, James MacKenzie, said. ''The first is that it would assist in spreading the benefits of the minerals boom over many generations, rather than risk blowing the resulting wealth over just a decade or two.
"Second, there is some prospect that a fund with an appropriate investment mandate … could play a role in moderating the value of the Australian dollar, thereby assisting in maintaining the competitiveness of non-resource industries."
Others are concerned whether the fund should be financed by a new tax on "extraction companies" or created from the existing tax take.
"The other question is who should manage the fund, with the Future Fund model offering the most ready opportunity," the Foster's chief executive, Ian Johnston, said.
The Future Fund is not a sovereign
wealth fund but was set up to manage the superannuation of public servants.
As the issue of a mining tax heats up following this week's record $US10.6 billion half-year profit from BHP, and record profits also from Xstrata and Rio Tinto, economists have called for calm.
HSBC's chief economist, Paul Bloxham, said the issue of high commodity prices was too politicised at the moment and needed to be discussed rationally.
"How much better does it need to get before we start thinking we should be doing this in time for the next disaster, or the next time there's a cycle?" Mr Bloxham said.
"There should be some serious thought going on right now about exactly how we will structure a fund, and the best way to do so, with some serious consideration for introducing one."
The issue has come to the fore in recent weeks with Mr Norris breaking ranks with the banking fraternity to call for a Norwegian-style sovereign wealth fund.
''We need to look [at] what Norway has done with regard to its oil resources and setting up a fund - which is well insulated for the future when it no longer has any oil to draw upon - to make sure their economy continues to provide the support for its population that it does today,'' Mr Norris said.
The comments added to calls by Mr Corbett for the government to lock up proceeds from resource exports for the benefit of the future.
The Business Council of Australia said the mining boom would continue to pose supply-side problems, and such a fund could be used to aid structural adjustment. But it cautioned against introducing the fund too quickly. ''One means of sensibly handling the proceeds of a resources boom may be the concept of a stabilisation fund," a council spokesman, Scott Thompson, said.
The most popular candidate to manage the fund is the Future Fund's board of guardians, but its chairman, David Murray, declined to comment.

The Governor's Education Excellence Commission wants 66 percent of Utah adults to have college degrees or postsecondary certificates by 2020.
The commission, which includes education leaders, lawmakers and members of Utah's business community, approved that goal Tuesday after months of work. State Superintendent Larry Shumway said about 35 percent of Utah adults now have postsecondary degrees and about 10 to 15 percent have certificates, earned through training in areas such as diesel mechanics or medical assistance.
"We believe it's an attainable goal without a huge investment," said William Sederburg, Utah's commissioner of higher education and a commission member. "We, frankly, don't have a choice not to do it. If we don't try to meet these needs, Utah is going to slide down. The economy is going to demand we step up and do this."
The 66 percent is based on a report from Georgetown University's Center on Education and the Workforce that says by 2018, about 66 percent of jobs in Utah will require at least some postsecondary education.
"This study is supported by our business community and what we believe we will need to be competitive on not only the local stage, but on the regional and national stage for business," said commission member Mark Bouchard of the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce.
Commission member Sen. Howard Stephenson, R-Draper, expressed concern Tuesday that the 66 percent goal was "very, very big" but said he supports looking at new concepts to improve education.
"I'm interested in making sure that the product of this commission comprises a new paradigm for delivering education and not just new paint over old barnacles, and so far, I think what we've done today is compatible with that. But the details are going to be what really matter," Stephenson said.
Sederburg said he believes higher education can reach the goal if funding remains steady and with help from the private sector, online education and the Utah College of Applied Technology.
But many of the details are still being discussed.
The commission recommended Tuesday several draft strategies to reach the 66 percent goal, including: bolstering early childhood education; improving instructional quality and curriculum alignments; strengthening postsecondary education; aligning education with economic development; and using technology.
Commission members will work on details of implementing those strategies in coming months, but initial proposals unveiled Tuesday included continuing optional, extended-day kindergarten; raising teachers' salaries; funding universities based on their missions; and encouraging the State Board of Education to develop a plan to ensure 90 percent of students are proficient in math and reading in third and sixth grades.
Gov. Gary Herbert said Tuesday the plan is a work in progress. While he's hopeful the group will have specific proposals for the Legislature, he said, "I want to make sure we do it right, and that's more important than doing it quick."
"We're doing something a little revolutionary," Herbert said. "I'm committed to making us come together and getting some things done to raise the bar for education in the state."
The 66 percent goal comes amid a governor's race that has often focused on education. Herbert's Democratic opponent, Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, unveiled his own education plan in August one that included sharpening high school graduation requirements and called for more funding.
Corroon's running mate, Rep. Sheryl Allen, R-Bountiful, said Tuesday she commends Herbert for "recognizing what Peter Corroon recognized in August, and that is that we need a 10-year education plan."
She said Corroon's plan does a better job of addressing funding.
Herbert said Tuesday he wasn't feeling pressure from Corroon to release a plan.
"This is about education excellence in Utah, our student population in all of its different forms and improving opportunities to develop skills," Herbert said. "This has nothing to do with politics."
Allen also said there's no reason to delay holding a special session until November to approve $101 million in federal education funding for Utah.
Christine Kearl, Herbert's education director, said a special session might not be called until then to give legislative leaders time to shore up support for the money in both houses of the Legislature.
Commission's education vision
The Governor's Education Excellence Commission wants 66 percent of Utahns age 20 to 64 to earn college degrees or postsecondary certificates by 2020. The commission recommended several strategies Tuesday to reach that goal, including: bolstering early childhood education; improving instructional quality and curriculum alignments; strengthening postsecondary education; aligning education with economic development; and using technology.

Man found 2 decades after conviction
Published 10:00 pm, Sunday, August 17, 2003
CHEHALIS -- Authorities spent two decades trying to track down former Vader School Superintendent Robert Fluetsch, who disappeared after being convicted of stealing $500 from a school safe.
They came close to finding him several times, but the break in the case didn't come until recently, when he was stopped in Tennessee, traveling under another man's name, The Chronicle newspaper of Centralia reported.
Late last week, Fluetsch was back in Lewis County Superior Court, where he faced charges of violating probation, his sentence for the 1980 theft conviction. Bail was set at $50,000.
Latest videos
"We consider him a flight risk," said Andrew Toynbee, chief criminal deputy for Lewis County.
Fluetsch didn't offer much information about his life at his brief court appearance Friday, saying only that he was married and poor.
He was granted a court-appointed attorney after telling Judge David Draper he could not afford one.
Fluetsch told the judge that his wife makes about $1,600 per month, he does not have a job, and the couple has racked up significant credit-card debt.
"We traveled internationally this summer," Fluetsch said. "We've been flying on our credit cards, your honor."
Fluetsch disappeared the first time in December 1979, not long before school district officials realized there was money missing from a safe.
At first, people thought he had drowned in the Cowlitz River.
"It was a rather massive investigation for Lewis County," Davis said. "It's not too often a superintendent disappears."
Later that winter, Fluetsch was found in San Francisco and brought back to Lewis County, where he pleaded not guilty to a charge of second-degree theft.
He was sentenced to probation, then after moving to Idaho, he disappeared again. Authorities assumed he had fled the country.
"He's turned up on our radar two times ... both in the early '90s," Toynbee said.
"On one occasion. he was convicted in Australia (for having a false passport). In the other one, he was entering New Zealand with numerous identifications under different names."
Lewis County officials said they did not extradite the former superintendent from either country because the complications and expense of doing so would have surpassed the magnitude of his crime.

Plot summaryEdit
Hill House is an eighty year-old mansion built by a man named Hugh Crain. The story concerns four main characters: Dr. John Montague, an investigator of the supernatural; two young women, Eleanor, who is shy and resents having lived as a recluse caring dutifully for her demanding invalid mother for years, and Theodora; and a young man, Luke, the heir to Hill House, who is host to the others.
Doctor Montague hopes to find scientific evidence of the existence of the supernatural. He rents Hill House for a summer and invites several people whom he has chosen because at one time or another they have all experienced paranormal events to stay there as his guests. Of these, only Eleanor and Theodora accept. Eleanor travels to the house, where she and Theodora will live in isolation with Montague and Luke.
Hill House has two caretakers, Mr. and Mrs. Dudley, who refuse to stay near the house at night. The blunt and single-minded Mrs. Dudley is a source of some comic relief. The four overnight visitors begin to form friendships as Doctor Montague explains the building's history, which encompasses suicide and other violent deaths.
All four of the inhabitants begin to experience strange events while in the house, including sounds and unseen spirits roaming the halls at night, strange writing on the walls and other unexplained events. Eleanor tends to experience phenomena to which the others are oblivious. At the same time, Eleanor may be losing touch with reality, and the narrative implies that at least some of what Eleanor witnesses may be products of her imagination. Another implied possibility is that Eleanor possesses a subconscious telekinetic ability which is itself the cause of many of the disturbances experienced by her and other members of the investigative team (which might indicate there is no ghost in the house at all). This possibility is suggested especially by references early in the novel to Eleanor's childhood memories about episodes of poltergeist-like phenomena that seemed to involve mainly her.
Later in the novel, the bossy and arrogant Mrs. Montague and her companion Arthur Parker, the headmaster of a boys' school, arrive to spend a weekend at Hill House and to help investigate it. They, too, are interested in the supernatural, including séances and spirit writing. Ironically, and unlike the other four characters, they don't experience anything supernatural, although some of Mrs. Montague's alleged spirit writings seem to communicate with Eleanor. Mrs. Montague's lack of social skills provides another source of comic relief in the novel.
Many of the hauntings that occur throughout the book are described only vaguely, or else are partly hidden from the characters themselves.
Eleanor and Theodora are in a bedroom with an unseen force trying the door, and Eleanor believes after the fact that the hand she was holding in the darkness was not Theodora's. In one episode, as Theodora and Eleanor walk outside Hill House at night, Theodora looks behind them and screams in fear for Eleanor to run, though the book never explains what Theodora sees.
By this point in the book it is becoming clear to the characters that the house is beginning to possess Eleanor. Fearing for her safety, Doctor Montague declares that she must leave. However, Eleanor regards the house as her home, and resists. The others have to practically force her into her car, but she is then killed when her car crashes into a large oak tree on the property. The reader is left uncertain whether Eleanor was simply an emotionally disturbed woman who has committed suicide, or whether her death at Hill House has a supernatural significance.
Stephen King, in his book Danse Macabre, a non-fiction review of the horror genre, lists The Haunting of Hill House as one of the finest horror novels of the late 20th century and provides a lengthy review. According to the Wall Street Journal, the book is "now widely regarded as the greatest haunted-house story ever written."[2] In his review column for F&SF, Damon Knight selected the novel as one of the 10 best genre books of 1959, declaring it "in a class by itself."[3]
The book has been adapted to film twice, in 1963 and again in 1999, both times under the title The Haunting. The 1963 version is a relatively faithful adaptation and received critical praise. The 1999 version, considerably different from the novel and widely panned by critics, is an overt fantasy horror in which all the main characters are terrorized and one is killed by explicitly supernatural means.

The company first announced the planned restructuring in June. A statement by News Corp did not specify a date for the planned split. The phone hacking scandal that took place earlier this year at News Corp's British newspapers has weighed on the business since. The company had to forgo its planned purchase of pay-TV provider BSkyB as a result, and shareholders have been angered by the damage to the company's reputation and the costs it has had to incur as a result.
The chatter on Main Street (a.k.a. Google, Yahoo! and other search sites) is always of interest to investors on Wall Street. Thus, each day, TheStreet compiles the stories that are trending on the Web, and highlights the news that could make stocks move. -- Written by Brittany Umar.

A new three-minute video by the Heritage Foundation traces the evolution of what we're being told about the cause and administration's knowledge of the attack on our embassy in Libya.
The video of television news clips juxtaposes initial claims that the attack was an impromptu response to an offensive with acknowledgements that it was a premeditated terror attack.
It then provides clips of claims that the administration's intelligence knew within twenty-four hours that the attack was a terror attack, even though it took several days for the administration to abandon its narrative blaming outrage over the video.
As CNSNews.com previously reported (including video):
- White House Press Sec. Jay Carney initially downplayed the link between the Sept. 11, 2012 attack and the 9/11 attack in 2001,
- Pres. Obama used a forum at the United Nations to blame the "crude and disgusting video," and
- Pres. Obama eventually admitted the attack "wasn't just a mob attack" - without acknowledging that it was an act of terrorism.

Background information on aspects of the plays.
The Plays and the Guilds
In medieval York the Mystery Plays were an expression of civic piety on the Corpus Christi festival. The Creation to Last Judgement narrative was paraded through the streets on waggons as actors presented the great moments of Christian history at twelve playing stations designated by the city banners.
Staging the Plays – practicalities
Staging a multiple site and processional event is, by any standards, a challenge. Taking several hundred willing volunteers from the community and, with them, converting the centre of a major tourist and commercial city into one large venue for the Mystery Plays, is no small task.
Literary significance
The York Mystery Cycle is cosmic in scope: it is set in heaven, earth and hell and in time past, present and future. lts blend of realism and the supernatural and its games with chronology anticipate modern cinematic techniques.
The Christian message
Pilgrimage is an important aspect of all the major world faiths. People
who belong to a faith tradition find it important to journey to the heart
of the faith beginnings. In the medieval age travel was not as easy as it is today and many people
could not get to the root of their faith beginnings.
The music
From medieval times up to the beginning of the 19th century every British town and city of any note had a band of Waits. Their duties varied from time to time and place to place.
An inheritance shared by all
2010 saw the fourth quadrennial production of York Mystery Plays 'brought forth' by the York Guilds and Companies. Nobody owns The York Mystery Plays, but the York Guilds and Companies have the greatest claim to be their guardians.

text: X Factor 2014: Cheryl, Mel B, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh go to war New promo video for the eleventh series of ITV's reality mega-hit sees the new judging panel raise armies of supporters to do battle on the karaoke machine Comments Written By Radio Times staff 2:14 PM, 02 August 2014 "I'm going to win the X Factor this year..." "Really? You and whose army?" This exchange seems to be the concept behind ITV's new glossy promotional trailer for the 2014 series of their big-money singing contest. Showcasing returning "nation's sweetheart" Cheryl Cole, I mean Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, I mean just Cheryl - the minute long video also gives us a glimpse of brand new judge, former Spice Girl Mel B, who's promising things are about to get a whole lot louder (let's hope's it's just big talk, eh?) Throw into the mix Simon Cowell and that most permanent part of the X Factor furniture, Louis Walsh, plus a sub Game of Thrones-style theme and you have yourself millions of little Britons excited about another three months of pro-celebrity televised karaoke. Here's that minute-long film in all its glory... Like this? Share it. Facebook Twitter Google Tumblr Pinterest Blogger Reddit VKontakt Print Email

Best Slightly Illegal Way to Head Off Into the Sunset
Tucson Mountain Park
Staff Pick
Have someone drop you off somewhere along Gates Pass Road. Hike off into the desert with your pack. Work your way along the Tucson Mountains, and find a spot looking out over Avra Valley to the west. Throw down the pack; lay out the sleeping bag; cook some dinner on the tiny gas stove; and wait for sunset. The popping sounds you'll hear around sunset are the last bad guys of the day getting their just desserts at Old Tucson. Listen as the silence crawls across the land, and watch the giant golden orb of the sun sink before your eyes. See the telescopes of Kitt Peak glinting in the distance. Watch for that first fluttering bat of the evening. Sleep like a baby knowing there's no one else out there.

5 Examples Of The "Kobayashi Maru" In Dating
In the fictional "Star Trek" universe, the Kobayashi Maru is a Starfleet Academy training exercise for those cadets who are training for command roles. Without getting in to deep with the nerdy specifics, in the simulated exercise, the Kobayashi Maru is the name of a disabled civilian vessel located in the Klingon Neutral Zone. The cadets participating in the exercise must decide whether to enter the Neutral Zone to rescue the crew of the Kobayashi Maru — violating a treaty between the Klingons and Starfleet, and risking all out war — or leave the Kobayashi Maru to certain destruction. Essentially, the exercise tests how a cadet would handle and react to a no-win scenario.
In our real lives, no-win situations arise in all facets of life — work, friendship, and, of course, dating. After the jump are five examples of the Kobayashi Maru in sex and relationships — how would you handle these no-win scenarios?
1. Falling in love with a friend's ex. By some luck of the draw, you find yourself romantically interested in a friend's ex, who also reciprocates those feelings. You know your friend would totally disown you if you ever entered into a relationship with her ex. Do you sacrifice the potential for true, lasting love in favor of respecting your friend's prior relationship? Or do you risk losing that friendship to follow your heart?
On "Star Trek: The Next Generation," Counselor Deanna Troi used to be romantically involved with Commander William Riker. Even after they stopped seeing each other, there was still a certain amount of intimacy between them — and then Troi and Commander Worf fell in love. Riker was admirably understanding about his ex taking up with one of his closest officers. In the end, Worf went on to marry Dax from "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" and Troi and Riker eventually got married. Imzadis for life!
2. Dating someone of a different religion who has been clear that ultimately they want to marry someone of the same religion. You met a great dude! He's smart, and handsome, and funny, and basically everything you're looking for — except he has no intention of marrying someone who doesn't share his religion. You're having a blast and the thought of ending things breaks your heart. But so does the potential for him to end things down the line. Do you keep dating him, hopeful that he'll either change his mind or you'll be able to stop your feelings from growing any stronger? Or do you end things immediately because it seems like no matter what, the relationship has a shelf-life?
3. You're looking for a serious relationship but the person you're dating isn't. After going on a string of bad dates, you finally meet someone you really like. The sex is great, the conversation is lively, you had so much in common! Except for one thing: you're in the market for a longterm relationship while the object of your affection isn't keen on what they've called "settling down" anytime soon. But they want to keep dating you! But do you want to keep dating them, knowing that you want different things, at least right now? It seems a little soon into the relationship to be thinking so seriously about the future, so you're very tempted to just see where things go. After all, what if you fall in love? Surely they'll want a serious relationship then, right? But maybe not. Maybe because they're not open to falling in love, they won't. Is it best to cut and run and keep your schedule open for someone who wants the same level of relationship as you do now? Or keep dating them, leaving it up to fate to decide whether you're meant to be?
In a related example, on "Star Trek: The Next Generation," Data (an android), in his quest to learn all that he could about human emotion (something he lacks), by attempting to date a female office (a human) named Lieutenant Jenna D'Sora on board the Enterprise. She had been crushing on him like WHOA, so Data decided to play the part of devoted boyfriend, not really realizing that it would only make her fall even harder. Ultimately, she wanted more from Data than he could ever give her, and they broke up.
4. There's a major emotional connection, but you disagree on a number of dealbreakers. Everything about the person you've been dating is magical and your connection is intense. It feels just so right in every way but one — the two of you disagree on one or more of the major dealbreaker issues: having children, marriage, politics, etc. Sure, it makes for some passionate debates — and the makeup sex is glorious — but eventually, arguing over issues related to values and life goals will get really old, really fast. Do you pay attention to these glaring red flags of incompatibility and end something that might be destined to fail, as much as the thought of doing so wrecks you? Or do you consider the possibility that people grow and change together and hold out hope that as your relationship grows, your views on the world will sync up?
5. You're in a serious committed relationship and were just offered your dream job — thousands of miles away. Huzzah! You've just been offered the job of a lifetime and it's located in the city of your dreams. Unfortunately, taking the job would mean moving thousands of miles away from your long-term love. You've been together for a couple years and are very happy together, but your S.O. is unable/unwilling to leave their current job to move with you. You both agree, for whatever reasons, that a long distance relationship wouldn't work. So, do you stay or do you go?
Starfleet officers deal with this all the time as they are reassigned to various posts throughout the galaxy. While Starfleet is great about letting officers bring their immediate families with them if they'd like, those couples who both work for Starfleet are often forced to make a choice between love and career when they're assigned to posts in different sectors, not just separated by thousands of miles, but light years. Those who do the long distance thing are seriously thankful for warp drive!

Healthier Hospital Food, Cookies by the Book and Bottle Delivery by Droneby Amy Reiter in News, June 4th, 2014
Healthy Foods to Help You Heal: Just the thought of hospital food can make a person feel a little sick, but there's a movement underway to change that. Hospitals are increasingly rethinking their menus, abandoning those salty (but otherwise tasteless) broths, quivering cubes of gelatin and beige foods, and instead they're embracing healthier fare like fresh fruits and vegetables and sustainable, locally grown foods. "Good food can help speed the healing process, and hospitals can be really good models," Lucia Sayre, co-executive director of the San Francisco Bay Area Physicians for Social Responsibility, tells U.S. News. What's more, adds dietitian Susan Levin, who works with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, providing healthy foods on those trays is "probably the best opportunity in educating the patient in how not to return." [U.S. News]
Eat Your Words: Summer reading season is just around the corner. And if you're looking for a literary snack to sustain yourself as you stretch out with a good novel by the pool or on the beach, you might consider whipping up a batch of book-worthy cookies. The website Book Riot has assembled a collection of literary cookie cutters — in the shapes of open and closed books, favorite literary characters, and beloved writers — that will make you want to reach for your cookie recipes and set to baking. Because the only thing more delicious than devouring a good book is doing it with a plate of fresh-baked cookies at arm's reach. [Book Riot]
Making a Play for Soccer Fans: McDonald's has unveiled a special line of World Cup Sandwiches, in honor of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, which will be available at more than 800 McDonald's locales throughout Brazil until June 25. Each of the seven sandwiches in the collection, created to celebrate "the culinary traditions" of customers' "favorite teams," will be available on a specific day of the week. So while Sunday is McBrazil (Angus beef, mayonnaise, special Brazilian vinaigrette, lettuce and Emmental cheese) day, on Thursday it's all about the McItaly (polpettone meat with tomato sauce, grated Parmesan cheese and pepperoni), and Saturday belongs to the McUSA (Angus beef with barbecue sauce, crispy onions, pickles, lettuce, bacon and cheddar cheese). [BusinessWire]
In Other Food News: A Las Vegas club, The Marquee Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan casino, is offering bottle service by drone — with a minimum order of $20,000. I'm not sure I'd want to stand directly under it on one of its test runs, though. [VegasSeven, KLAS-TV] Giada De Laurentiis' first restaurant has now officially opened its doors in Las Vegas. She told The Today Show she'd worked to "create a homey environment" at the restaurant, named Giada, so diners "felt like they were coming over to my house for dinner." [Today.com]

I had such a good day today. I decided when I woke up I would have a Lauren day, and I would do all the fun things I had been wanting to do all week. Well I did..and it was awesome! A while back I posted this DIY on making your own necklace out of an old ring. You can see the post here. If you didn't read it, the reason I wanted to do this was because my husband and I have matching rings that are memorable to us. I never wear mine anymore, because I have a wedding band and engagement ring, so I decided to tarnish it and put it on a chain. I found a perfect chain at Michael's this morning for 3.99. It had a nice tarnished look, and I was so excited about it, but decided to get the clasps at Walmart, because they were cheaper. These are the materials I used:
