Stocks hit new record highs
Page Tools
The Australian share market, spurred on by a surge on Wall Street, achieved record highs today with resource stocks leading the way.
It was the seventh consecutive day of rises for the market with the the benchmark S&P/ASX200 rising 18 points to 4238.4 by 1730 AEDT and recording an intraday record of 4247.9 in early morning trade.
The all ordinaries soared 16.8 points to 4218.7, easing back from its intraday record high of 4227.
At the end of day trading on the Sydney Futures Exchange, the March SPI futures contract was 19 points stronger at 4236 on a volume of 13,427.
Macquarie Equities private client adviser David Halliday said there was broad strength across the market, from resources to the property trust sector and the energy sector was pushed higher by the rising cost of oil.
"With resources, it's the same old theme - commodity prices are very strong and demand continues to remain high globally," Mr Halliday said.
BHP Billiton gained 34 cents to $19.29, Rio Tinto added 52 cents to $47.43 and oil and gas producer Woodside put on 30 cents to $22.90.
On Friday, US blue-chip stocks surged to their highest close in more than three and a half years after a better-than-expected jobs report boosted optimism about the economy but didn't raise worries about accelerated interest rate hikes.
The Dow closed at its highest level since June 2001, up 107.52 points to 10,940.55. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index ended up 11.65 points at 1,222.12 and the Nasdaq Composite Index was up 12.21 points at 2,070.61.
The banking sector eased after opening strongly with the Commonwealth Bank the only major to finish in the black - 22 cents richer at $36.65.
"The banks wax and wane," Mr Halliday said.
"We are seeing big swings in bank prices as the market's mood swings between defensive on the positive side and concerns over higher rates on the negative side."
National Australia Bank was 11 cents weaker at $29.35, Westpac gave back nine cents to $19.42 and ANZ lost five cents to $21.75.
In retail, Coles Myer improved 16 cents to $9.63, Woolworths was steady at $15.80 and David Jones firmed one cent to $1.96.
The Hills Motorway Group, which owns Sydney's M2 motorway, today rejected Transurban's offer of 1.47 Transurban securities for each Hills security.
Hills said it will restructure and pay security holders higher distributions should a takeover bid by tollway operator Transurban Group fail.
Hills shares hardened two cents to $11.00 while Transurban slid 21 cents to $7.28.
Beer and wine group Foster's reversed five cents to $5.26 as it extended its takeover offer for winemaker Southcorp by 14 days to 31 March 2005.
Southcorp crept up one cent to $4.31.
In media, News Corp lost five cents to $22.70 and its non-preferred scrip weakened six cents to $22.06.
Publishing & Broadcasting was off 16 cents at $16.11 while Fairfax nudged down three cents to $4.25.

Comic-Con 2012: Yvonne Strahovski on the '180' From 'Chuck' to 'Dexter'; Running in Heels for Showtime
"I'm really excited to do a complete 180," Strahovski, 29, tells Celebuzz at Showtime's Dexter party at the Wired Café in the Omni hotel.
The Australian actress plays Hannah McKay, who meets Dexter (Michael C. Hall) while working on a cold case. The kicker lies in that she went on a killing spree with her boyfriend when she was younger. Then after getting caught, she turned on him!
"I go from playing a CIA agent enforcing the law to someone who is not part of law enforcement, someone who's darker, someone who has a mysterious past that we'll explore obviously throughout the season," she tells us. "And to be part of this amazing Emmy award-winning show, I mean, I don't think I could have asked for anything better after Chuck."
Strahovski is clearly excited to be part of the dark drama and says that she braved the Comic-Con streets in freakishly high shoes to make sure she arrived to the cable network's party on time.
"I'm wearing six-inch platform high heels and we were stuck in so much traffic and we knew we were going to be late for this," she says. "So, we got out of the car and we all ran, through crowds, it was very epic."
Celebuzz talked to Strahovski earlier this year about the Chuck series finale and her nude SoBe water campaign. Find out how the body paint artist comforted her on the set in the video below:

The world's largest listed pure play wine company,
Treasury chief executive David Dearie said he had developed a three-pronged strategy to better capitalise on growing Chinese premium red wine consumption.
"Our brand spending is small in terms of our total spend, it is less than 10 per cent," Mr Dearie told The Australian Financial Review. "I want to significantly rachet it up."
Treasury launched Australia's most expensive new wine in Shanghai last week and plans to increase staff numbers across Asia and lift the amount of premium wines available to importers, fine wine stores and restaurants.
The aim is to tap into growing demand for wine in the world's most populous nation.
Launching the 2008 Special Bin 620 Coonawarra Cabernet Shiraz, at $1000 a bottle, is part of Treasury's push to build the perception in China that Australia produces great wines.
Australian producers are making promising inroads into the Chinese market. While in volume terms exports to China are a fraction of what Australia ships to its two biggest markets, the UK and the US, the average price per litre is rising.
Wine Australia figures show that in the past 12 months the average price per litre for wine sold into China reached $4.65, up 60 per cent.
Excluding bulk wine exports, the average bottled wine per litre was $5.83, putting Australia close to France, which commands an average $6.10 per litre for its bottled wine exports to China.
China is now Australia's largest export market for wines above $10 a litre and only France exports more wine to China.
Mr Dearie said the industry must capitalise on China's growing appetite for new world reds but warned producers against flooding the country with cheap wine as Australia still struggled with excess production.
A rush to exploit demand for Australian wine in the UK and moves by producers to shift excess production, helped by strong-armed UK retailers, pushed the average price per litre for Australian wine in the UK through the floor in the past five years. The average price per litre in the UK is $3.51, down from a peak of $4.74 in 2003.
"As an industry we are in danger of doing the same thing [in China] because we cannot fix our oversupply. We have to deal with our oversupply issue in Australia, that is the most important thing," Mr Dearie said.
"The solution is not to make it in the first place because we are in terrible danger of dragging ourselves into the cheap and cheerful."
He said Treasury's production was in balance but it would be at least a year before Australia worked through its oversupply and it was important to hold price points in China in the meantime.
"We have to stay committed to producing at that price point. We have to have discipline and we have to learn from the past. That's the key."
China's increasing taste for Australian wines has helped fuel speculation that its government-backed companies may move to buy wineries including Treasury.
Bright Foods, which recently bought Manassen Foods, has stated its interest in buying more Australian food and agriculture assets.
Don St Pierre jnr, chief executive of Shanghai-based fine wine importer ASC Fine Wines, said China's appreciation of wine was growing but its willingness to pay a premium for known wine brands was limited.
"They are not going out and acquiring well-known brands. I don't think they are at the point yet where they will pay a premium for an international brand," he said.
Mr St Pierre distributes Penfolds, Beringer and Wolf Blass for Treasury in China.
He said he thought there was a lot of nonsense being floated around about the Chinese buying premium wine brands. "I think the Chinese are interested in paying a premium for other things that are in the ground in Australia such as coal and oil."
Mr St Pierre, who also sells a stable of French wines in to China, said Australia was not viewed as a "traditional" wine producer but was seen as "the most important new area of wine that consumers have to try".
"The Australian wine industry needs to continue to focus on premium brands and products. It is a huge mistake in China to play in the entry level."

Taylor Dobbs hit the big time on Friday.
The former VTDigger intern and Montpelier resident found himself in the middle of the frenzied reporting on the Boston Marathon bombing investigation.
Dobbs, a journalism student at Northeastern University, was playing the new HD version of Age of Empires II on Thursday night when he got the text from his girlfriend: Twitter reports claimed there had been a shooting at MIT.
Dobbs who lives near the university soon met up with an acquaintance, Seth Mnookin, an MIT professor, and Brian D'Amico, a photographer and Northeastern student. The three men soon learned that a police officer at the university had been wounded.
As a half dozen Boston Police cars sped off in response to a call over the scanner for backup in another part of the metropolitan area, Dobbs, D'Amico and Mnookin followed in pursuit — navigating their way with a police scanner app and Google maps — Tweeting news snippets as they went. They heard about the carjacking on the police scanner.
Soon they found themselves in the vicinity of the Watertown shootout between the Tsarnaev brothers and law enforcement officials — five minutes after the firefight, in which 200 rounds of ordnance were fired, ended. Shortly after they arrived at the corner of Dexter and Nichols streets, the police cordoned off Mnookin's vehicle behind a safety perimeter. When law enforcement officers saw the trio, they demanded that they identify themselves. Mnookin answered: "Press." The response? "Get out of here."
Undeterred, the three men made their way to the press area and continued tweeting. Dobbs, D'Amico and Mnookin were the first reporters on the scene in Watertown, and they tweeted everything they saw and heard. They saw police pull a man out of his car and order him to strip and they also witnessed the aggressive police search of another man who was wearing a backpack.
By the wee hours of Friday morning, the men had tweeted more than 160 minute-by-minute live updates on the death of Sean Collier, the MIT police officer, the Watertown shootout and information about the investigation.
Dobbs, who is a journalism student at Northeastern University, took dozens of photos with his iPhone. He'd had recent practice in the art of breaking news photography already: On Monday, he took shots of the dazed crowds that aimlessly wandered the streets in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombing.
By Friday morning, Dobbs found himself in the maelstrom of media attention. His Twitter feed had been picked up by more than 2,000 new followers overnight — some of whom happened to be reporters from other news organizations.
One of those journalists, Matt Ryan, a reporter with the Burlington Free Press, recounted the reporting adventure in a story accompanied by Dobbs' photos of police involved in the midnight manhunt.
Dobbs was also interviewed by the BBC, Al Jazeera, Fox 44, WPTZ and several Canadian radio shows.
Looking back on last week's events, Dobbs says he isn't sure why he threw himself into the media fray, but he's glad he did.
"I was scared and tired and confused, and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else," Dobbs said.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Chi SPACCA is a restaurant concept that grew out of chef Chad Colby's celebrated "salumi night" at Mozza's pizza school. So is it any wonder that the restaurant has a lockdown on the best charcuterie in town? The "salumeria" portion of Chi SPACCA's menu — split among "whole muscles," "salami" and "pâté and terrine" — is its smoky, salty focal point. The salami are dense but also melting, imbued with ingredients like intensely aromatic fennel pollen, or the bright, biting, almost fruity Tellicherry pepper. Pancetta comes wrapped around breadsticks, looking like meaty, twirly candy. If there's a must-try among the pâtés and terrines, it's the bacon tenderloin pâté, one that conveys all the intensity of crisply cooked bacon but turns it meatier, softer and more herbaceous all at once. Here's the thing about Colby and what he's doing at Chi SPACCA that's so cool: Amidst the big, important, celebrity chef-driven machine that is Mozza is a young chef, a Willy Wonka of meats, who doggedly pursued a passion project that wasn't even possible in Los Angeles before he made it so. 6610 Melrose Ave., Hlywd.

The food at the Trails Cafe in Griffith Park is scrumptious enough to satisfy Los Angeles gourmets: The avocado sandwich — full of sprouts and soy "bacon bits" — is particularly yummy, and the cookies are, without fail, amazing. But the spot is best utilized by parents of young kids, particularly those whose offspring tend to cause chaos at restaurants. That's because, for one thing, the seating is outdoors — on picnic benches and hay bales — so you don't have to worry about the kids' noise or the mess, and there's plenty of room to run around. Once you're done eating, simply cross the street, where you'll find a full kids' playground on a sandy floor, as well as the trails, which weave through the woods and alongside a brook. Overall, it's an environment in which you won't encounter a single angry eyebrow from another adult, and one that ensures your rugrats will later go down for a solid nap. 2333 Fern Dell Drive, Los Feliz.

Cooking classes aren't hard to come by in Los Angeles. But as long as sanitary requirements are followed, why should food education always mean endless, stainless-steel surfaces and the whirring of exhaust fans? Poketo, Angie Myung and Ted Vadakan's design firm/shop in the downtown Arts District, is about creativity of all stripes. So the husband-and-wife team puts the bright, airy square footage to work by hosting a series of hands-on food-making classes, with no demo mirrors or headset mics involved. Recent sessions have included mustard and other condiment-making with Zach Negin of SoNo Trading Company; a lesson on traditional kimchi techniques taught by Myung's mother; and summer sodas and vinegar-based shrubs with Emily Ho, an L.A. maven of food-swapping (the sharing of handmade food — Poketo has served as a venue for the swaps). Workshops aren't limited to food; eager crafters also have tried their hand at calligraphy, floral design, wreaths and holiday decor. 820 E. Third St., dwntwn.

What the Hollywood Sign is to Hollywood, Circus Liquor' 32-foot-tall, neon-clown mascot is to North Hollywood. The nightmare-inducing liquor store clown towers over Burbank Boulevard and has been seen in just about as many movies as the Hollywood Sign itself, although its connotation isn't always positive: Cher got held up in its parking lot in Clueless, and the liquor store serves as a crime scene in Snoop Dogg's video for "Murder Was the Case." On-screen reputation aside, Circus Liquor doesn't clown around with its impressive selection of hard-to-find craft beer from Europe, Asia and North and South America and its nearly two dozen American beers offered in quarter and half kegs for all your Valley rager needs. Like any reputable liquor store, Circus Liquor even stocks its own branded T-shirts, trucker hats and baby apparel, so you can always be sure to represent. 5600 Vineland Ave., N. Hlywd.

From the owners of Chipotle — yes, Chipotle — comes a new Southeast Asian chain. ShopHouse shares many of Chipotle's best attributes: fresh ingredients, "sustainable" meats and quick, choose-your-own-adventure, assembly-line service. But we'd argue that ShopHouse's food is actually better than Chipotle's. You choose from cold rice noodles, or brown or white rice, then one topping from each category: protein, vegetable, sauce, topping and garnish. You end up with a bowl piled high with food, a pretty substantial serving for less than $8. But the most surprising thing about ShopHouse is how bold this food is. It's possible to get a low-heat meal, but most of this food is aggressively and appropriately spiced. The curry sauces are thicker than many Thai curries, and pretty intense. The green beans are cooked with chile jam, and pack quite a kick. The eggplant is full of Thai basil and appropriately smooshed and delicious. If ShopHouse's dreams are realized and it takes over the nation, as Steve Ells' other venture did, then this is a chain restaurant we'd gladly pull off the interstate to frequent. 6333 W. Sunset Blvd., Hlywd. (323) 462-2856, shophousekitchen.com. —Besha Rodell

Next Challenge for Obamacare: Tax Forms
If signing up for Obamacare wasn't bad enough, wait until consumers have to fill out their tax forms.
The government has yet to release final instructions on how to fill out the new forms, but Houston CPA Randy Reimer already calls it daunting at best for many of the low to moderate-income people who signed up.
"There are a lot of folks that are getting the Obamacare insurance who traditionally had very easy returns to do that are all of sudden going to have some boxes to check out and things to handle they've never done before," Reimer tells KTRH News.
That means proving which plan they bought, any subsidies they received, or even if they're exempt. All this is voluntary for 2014 taxes, but required in 2015.
"If people that are as smart as CPAs are starting to have some questions and confusion about it, you can imagine what the population in general is going to struggle with," says Texas State Rep. John Zerwas.
All this comes as reports surfaced the medical device tax under Obamacare has fallen short of its revenue target. The IRS has already made the
"Once again we're going to see Obamacare trip up on all these complexities and so forth, after giving people the sense that it was just going to be all fine and everybody would have the chance to buy insurance," says Zerwas.

The first wave of devices running BlackBerry 10, Research in Motion's new smartphone operating system, have entered carrier certification labs around the world, the company said today. The lab entry allows cellular carriers to begin evaluating the smartphones for use on their networks and is a key step toward them going on sale.
RIM didn't disclose the carriers or the countries involved. CEO Thorsten Heins said he had spent several weeks visiting partners around the world to demonstrate the operating system.

Microsoft's deep ties with enterprises make its new OS a potentially serious competitor for business use.
The BlackBerry has long found support among enterprise IT departments, but consumers have increasingly jumped to iPhone and Android platforms, putting pressure on companies to support other platforms. Just last week the Department of Defense said it is planning to build a system to support phones other than BlackBerry, and the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency said it would buy iPhones for its more than 17,600 employees.

Legal pot in Colorado hasn't stopped black market
DENVER (AP) - Authorities say the black market for marijuana is alive and well in Colorado, despite it being the first state to legalize recreational sales of the drug.
Recent drug busts and violence have raised concerns among police, prosecutors and pot advocates. They also worry that because possession of up to an ounce is legal in Colorado, illegal dealers and sellers believe they are less vulnerable to prosecution.
Among the concerning cases is the January killing of 25-year-old Nathan Tallman. Police say he disappeared after going to meet a man for a "marijuana transaction." Authorities found him dead of a gunshot wound more than a month later along a rural Wyoming highway.
Advocates say legalization needs more time to unfold before black market sales will dissipate.

A new pertussis vaccine requirement for junior high school students will set a precedent in Iowa and also will make school nurses happy because of the protection it offers adolescents, experts say.
The Iowa Department of Public Health has begun to discuss the requirement that pre-teens have the TDaP booster vaccine to guard them against pertussis — better known as whooping cough. The regulation, which is expected to be enacted no sooner than August 2013, will put Iowa in line with 40 other states that already have the "secondary-level" vaccine requirement.
Except for South Dakota, all of Iowa's neighboring states, including Illinois, have the secondary-level TDaP requirement.
Students who are 11 or 12 years old and in the sixth or seventh grades would be required to have proof of receiving the TDaP booster before they could continue to attend school in Iowa.
"We continue to see pertussis cases occur in Iowa schools," Don Callaghan said. "There's waning immunity to the disease, and that's behind the suggestion to get a booster at about 11 to 12 years old."
Callaghan, the bureau chief of immunizations with the Iowa Department of Public Health, pointed out there is a national recommendation
for older students to get the booster shot. Children get the original vaccination during infancy.
"School nurses will cheer for joy when this happens," predicted Carol Harris, the head of nurses in the Davenport Community School District.
The nurses will have an extra workload when the requirement is enacted, but they think it will lessen the number of pertussis cases they see in the schools every year.
Children at the age level in question travel a good deal, so they can spread the virus to many people, Harris said. When a case of pertussis is confirmed in a student, the school district and county health department have to track down all who are exposed, distribute letters of warning and instructions for care and then monitor the ongoing illness.
The workload that results from actual pertussis care is why nurses will welcome the vaccine requirement, Harris said.
In Scott County, 15 cases of pertussis have been confirmed since July. In the same time period the year before, there were 197 cases, and that is when the county had what was termed an "outbreak," with many of the cases occurring in the schools.
Pertussis is a respiratory illness that causes severe coughing spells, which may be followed by vomiting. The disease begins like a cold, with a runny nose and an irritating cough. It is characterized by severe coughing spells that end in a "whooping" sound when the person breathes in. Pertussis is spread through the air when infected people cough or sneeze and others inhale the infected droplets.
Illinois requiring vaccinations this year
Illinois began the secondary-level requirement this year, said Sally O'Donnell, the director of school health programs for the Rock Island County Public Health Department. Students entering the sixth and ninth grades need to show proof that they have received a TDaP booster before they can attend classes.
"I think all physicians' offices, pediatric and others, are encouraging parents to do this," O'Donnell said.
But the requirement will not necessarily protect against an outbreak, especially as it is being introduced to an area. For example, pertussis cases were reported around Christmas in the Riverdale School District, she said.
Pertussis is a miserable condition that anyone would want to avoid.
"You cough, up from your toes, and the cough can last for weeks," Harris said.
Students lose time out of school and parents miss work, O'Donnell said. If one athlete on a sports team gets the illness, all of the others on the team have to be notified and monitored for pertussis.
'Cocooning effect' recommended
Pertussis is especially dangerous to infants, who have not built up immunity with the vaccination process.
"That's why we encourage parents, siblings, caregivers, grandparents and any others around a newborn to be vaccinated to protect the infants," said Bethany Kintigh, the program manager for Iowa's immunization program.
The vaccination process for family members is called "cocooning," and it is being promoted to obstetricians and physicians who treat families with small babies, O'Donnell said.
Reasons behind recent pertussis outbreaks in the United States are not fully understood, but there is agreement that the vaccine effectiveness wears off, Juliette Tinker said. A native of Iowa City, Tinker earned her doctorate in microbiology at the University of Iowa, and now she researches and writes on pathogenic bacteriology and vaccinology at Boise State University in Idaho.
Idaho adopted the TDaP booster at the secondary level this year and enforces it for seventh-graders, she said.
Iowa is still investigating to determine at what grade level it should make the recommendation, said Callaghan of the state health department.
Tinker — who is working on a vaccine against staph infection — said the pertussis vaccine is highly effective when issued at the proper time. Outbreaks still will happen in schools, she said, because not all students will be completely and effectively immunized.
In Iowa, students will have to be vaccinated unless they have medical reasons to opt out, such as a compromised immune system, Callaghan said. There also are religious exemptions to vaccination, but no philosophical exemptions are allowed.

Citation: Raper, R.L., Arriaga, F.J. 2005. Effect of vehicle load, transducer depth, and transducer type on soil pressures. ASAE Annual International Meeting. Paper No.051159. Interpretive Summary: Extremely heavy agricultural vehicles excessively compact soil and hinder crop growth. However, the ability to determine when a vehicle is too heavy is difficult due to transducers which are difficult to use and require significant instrumentation. An experiment was conducted that compared the ability of a simple rubber pressure bulb to measure differences in soil compaction with a more complicated electronic transducer. The transducers performed similarly, but the rubber pressure bulb had greater sensitivity and could distinguish between the loads applied to greater depths than the electronic transducer. Continued testing and development of the rubber pressure bulbs could lead to improvements in soil compaction management by allowing producers to know when their vehicle loads are excessive and could cause significant soil damage.
Technical Abstract: Measurement of soil pressures caused by vehicle loading is difficult and often subject to extreme variability. Two types of soil transducers were compared in an experiment conducted in a Norfolk sandy loam soil in the USDA-ARS National Soil Dynamics Laboratory's (NSDL) soil bin facilities. Stress state transducers (SST), electronic transducers developed at the NSDL for measuring six directional pressures and determining the stress state, were used for this experiment. Rubber bulbs connected by a rubber hose to a dial pressure guage, which measure hydrostatic pressure, were also used in this experiment. Both transducers were buried at depths of 7.5, 15, or 23 cm and were used to measure soil pressures caused by a 30.5L-32 tire with dynamic loads of 19 or 37 kN. The SST's were buried by inserting them into an excavated hole while the rubber bulbs were inserted by a special tool designed to leave the soil surface and surrounding soil undisturbed. Peak values of mean normal stress (calculated from measurements of pressure) from the SST and hydrostatic pressure measured with the rubber bulbs were found to be affected by both loading and burial depth. Similar magnitudes and variation were observed for each transducer. Residual pressure, defined as the pressure remaining after loading was removed, was found to be affected by both loading and burial depth when measured with the rubber bulbs. Continued development and testing of the rubber bulb transducers could provide a simple method of determining levels of compaction that could damage soils and thus prevent excessive trafficking.

text: It comes as a shock to no one (except, possibly, for a handful of stubborn computer manufacturers) that PCs are, for practical purposes, a thing of the past. Old-fashioned laptops won't be far behind. Last year, Microsoft tried to overhaul Windows for these new generations of computing platforms and products. They've has limited success. So, Redmond engineers are hard at work with a Windows update to help fix what's wrong. Windows 8.1 is expected to be released later this year. Apple is also trying to offer the right combination of features to keep interest high for their laptops and desktops. On Monday, Apple announced the next big upgrade for OS X, the increasingly popular desktop/laptop operating system. Basically, version 10.9 (Mavericks) will add a number of features similar to what's offered in iOS, Apple's mobile operating system. It's a fact. Tablets are the new laptops. And, as tablets get cheaper and cheaper (Asus has just announced an upcoming, 7-inch tablet with a starting retail price of $129) manufacturers' profit margins will decline as well. So, what is the next? The hot items, these days, seem to be wearable computing devices (such as exercise-based, watch-like computers or the much heralded Google ( GOOG) Glass. There is also a lot of industry-generated news being released concerning advanced computing devices for car dashboards (as announced by GM, BMW, and others). But, there are already concerns being voiced about both new types of mobile computers. Drivers talking on cell phones is bad enough. Now, there are warning about additional distracting electronic devices interfering with a driver's concentration. And, it's not just drivers at risk. Google Glass fans must be aware that performing relatively simple tasks - maybe crossing a street or cooking - while using the device might cause problems. Some are suggesting restrictive laws must be passed now to avoid future tragedies. If some big, new product is on the horizon we might hear about it by the end of the month. The industry is holding their annual, mid-year event called CE Week here in New York, the week of June 24th. Hopefully, someone will be showing something that will excite. --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

The Case for Heading Over the Fiscal CliffDeborah Solomon
Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- So what if we went over the fiscal cliff?
Crazy as it sounds, some in Washington and on Wall Street are beginning to ponder whether it would really be so bad to let the pending $607 billion in tax increases and spending cuts take effect in January 2013.
The Congressional Budget Office has warned that failure to deal with the spending austerity and expiring tax cuts will plunge the U.S. back into recession, with the economy contracting at an annual rate of 1.3 percent in the first half of next year.
But there's a silver lining to going off the cliff: The U.S gets its short-term budget deficit under control, bringing down debt from an estimated 76 percent of gross domestic product in 2013 to 58.5 percent by 2022. It also gives lawmakers -- particularly Republicans -- a bigger pot of revenue from which to start tax-cut discussions.
What ultimately happens depends entirely on the election, and armchair strategists disagree about whether a newly elected Mitt Romney or a re-elected Barack Obama stands a better chance of making a Grand Bargain. Obama said this week in an interview with the Des Moines Register editorial board that he'll pursue a debt deal within the first six months of a second term. As my Bloomberg News colleague Richard Rubin has reported, congressional Republicans are discussing options for a post-election deal but are far from being solidified. House Speaker John Boehner has said he's "not confident at all" in the ability to strike a post-election deficit deal.
Republicans may simply be bluffing in an attempt to convince voters that real deficit reduction will only happen if Romney is elected. But it may not be disingenuous.
Here's why: Any tax and spending deal Obama puts forward will include new revenues (i.e. higher taxes) that Republicans oppose. Obama wants to let the Bush tax cuts expire for the wealthiest and may, along with congressional Democrats, push for other revenue raisers. Democrats and Republicans also disagree on defense cuts included in the so-called budget sequester.
Could Republicans simply cross their arms and refuse to agree to a deal? It's possible. They would simply blame Democrats for allowing taxes to increase on everyone (not just the wealthiest) and then claim credit for any subsequent -- and inevitable -- deal to cut taxes. Deutsche Bank AG chief economist Peter Hooper, in an interview this week with Bloomberg, said going over the cliff is "an inefficient way of dealing with revenues" but that the markets - - after suffering a near-term hit -- could be buoyed by the fact that the U.S. has dealt with its crushing debt load.
Still, the negatives probably outweigh any positive effect of heading down the cliff. In 2008, Republicans were all set to let the emergency financial bailout bill die -- until the stock market plunged 700 points. No one knows exactly how the markets will react to failure to get a fiscal cliff deal.
But given the recent pleas from business leaders to come to agreement, one can guess the reaction will make the near-collapse of TARP in 2008 seem like a day at the park. And that, more than anything else, could prompt some compromise.

Heavy Equipment
Heavy Equipment Repair Questions? Ask an Expert Now.
If the engine has external injectors with the heavy steel lines running to them, just loosen the nut at the injector and have someone crank the engine over. You should let it leak out until it start to spurt the fuel out under pressure. If it just bubbles it still has air in it.
If it does not have external lines, then it should bleed itself out. To help one the is difficult, loosen lines up to the engine and away from the engine to help fill them. Again have someone crank it while you loosen the lines one at a time, just wait to see fuel run out before closing it.
I hope this is helpful, I don't have direct experience on New Holland machine but, most work the same.
Thanks for using Just Answer. If you find my answer helpful, please remember to "accept" it.

I personally think Belton is terrible
Monsters Doing Coke
Big B.A.D Rots
for the price you are right..... rusto fo life
^ yeap!! and once i used this dulux stuff it was so shit cap cloged heaps and the spray was so inconsistent
Everyone tries it once, and never again.....
I think it's mostly the cap on them, you have to rack from cleaning products, or do some mad heavy modding.
The above post is 100% false and should not be taken seriously, it is a lie.
Bored Of Your Average.
some valspar colours, like the textured red, comes out like clear pink, the normal valspar colours are good though, except for white, but i like the pink, purple, teal, chrome and gold.
never bomb with montana 94, bad idea
walmart dollar paint white is shit, the black is iight but the red blowssssssss
flourescent anything usually sucks, is too thin and drips, use it for fill only.
that latex spraypaint from random dollar stores is shitty for anything other than handstyles
krylon 360 = fills
colourtool is dope for bombing, except for cherry wood tone and blackberry, the light green is pretty shit too.
car paint with fan tips usually suck, fills only
Best cheap paint in my opinion,DAP Touch n Tone: aluminum and flat black Spray Paint
Shittiest Lowes dollar cans
ex. of touch n tone cans
@Corona: still looks pretty good
Worst piant I used was some German "tractor paint" wattery, non covering, but just 1,5 euro a can
99 cent Walmart cans
Not only was it shit, there's less paint in it than in a rusto
^99 cent walmart cans all vary in quality, I have found that if you install a valspar cap on a red can with a round top you get fat lines. The gloss blacks are some of the shittiest of the shitty.

Hollywood agrees on digital standard
Page Tools
Hollywood's top film studios have agreed on a long-awaited and crucial technical standard that clears the way for a new era of digital film distribution, officials have announced.
The accord, reached after three years of bitter wrangling within the film industry, marks a crucial milestone in the evolution of cinema from celluloid reels to high-definition digital movies that can be piped directly into theatres.
The agreement sets uniform specifications for projectors that film theatres would use to show high-quality digital films in neighbourhood film theatres, allowing the new medium to flourish.
It was unveiled by Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI), a joint venture set up in 2002 by the Disney, Twentieth Century Fox, Paramount, Sony, Universal and Warner Brothers studios to establish voluntary specifications for a digital cinema standard.
"We now have a unified specification that will allow manufacturers to create products that will be employable at movie theatres throughout the country and, it is hoped, throughout the world," said DCI technology officer Walt Ordway.
"In fact, the specification is being translated for international markets," he said of the accord that studios, theatre operators and other sectors of the industry battled for years to refine.
"Hallelujah - It's about time!" commented famed Hollywood director Robert Zemeckis whose 2004 movie Polar Express was filmed in digital format.
A remaining stumbling block to digital projectors reaching local cinemas is the debate over whether film studios or theatre owners will foot the bill for the extremely costly digital projection gear.
"These specifications should provide a common ground to spur innovation and encourage many more players who were previously resistant to invest capital in technology that may or may not have been viable," said Mr Ordway.
As the market gets more competitive, the price of the equipment and its installation should drop to the point "where that stumbling block should no longer be of consequence," he said.
The major film studios represented by DCI, notably Warner Brother, hailed the new standard and announced plans to begin releasing feature films in the designated digital format.
A global digital film standard was "essential" for the film industry to thrive, said Fox executives Paul Hanneman and Bruce Snyder in a statement.
Experts said the standardised format would help Hollywood, which is battling flagging audience numbers and ticket sales, compete with other media, including DVDs and the internet by boosting the visual quality of films.
"The film-going experience is a special one, but in order to continue drawing large audiences, theatres must outpace competing media," said Charles Swartz of the University of Southern California's Entertainment Technology Centre.
John Fithian, president of the National Organisation of Theatre Owners (NATO), described the digital standard as "an important step toward making digital cinema a reality."
The new standard was also hailed by film-making titans George Lucas and Rick McCallum, who pioneered digital theatrical projection with the release of Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones in 2002.
It marks "a giant leap forward for those of us who create movies and, perhaps more importantly, for everyone who sees them," the pair said in a statement.
The "Star Wars" producers said they had been advocating a digital film standard for a decade, and "this is a day we have long hoped would come."
Standardised digital theatre equipment is as important to the film industry as digital video discs were for the home video industry, said Toy Story 2 director John Lasseter of Pixar Animation Studios.
Digital screening of films avoids the wear commonplace with traditional film and results in the final screening of a movie being "as pristine as the first," Lasseter said.
"Digital cinema will revolutionise the cinematic experience for moviegoers around the world," well-known directors Jim Cameron, of Titanic fame, and Jon Landau said.

Park Models are constructed under ANSI standards and are not required to meet the exposure C and D windload standards of the HUD approved mobile homes.
1. Park Models may not have additions that expand the habitable space by more than 400 square feet. The same standards with regard to additions apply to park models as to mobile homes. No site built additions may be authorized. All expansions such as tip outs or add a rooms must be constructed under the ANSI or HUD standards and must not expand the habitable space by more than 400 square feet.
2. Free standing detached open decks and screen porches are not considered expansion of habitable space so long as they are not enclosed by any rigid material such as but not limited to glass, wood, block or lattice.
3. When the park model has a previously permitted addition that has increased the habitable space by greater than 400 SF, it is a nonconforming structure and no additional permit will be issued for further expansion except for open or screened, detached, structurally independent decks or porches. If the open deck is already existing and part of a nonconforming structure the screening of the open area must be calculated as a nonsubstantial improvement.
4. Roof overs designed for installation over park models and mobile homes are allowed as a weatherproof cover and are not required to be counted in the nonsubstantial calculations as long as the roof over does not change the configuration of the existing roof such as from a flat roof to a gable roof. If the roof over is designed for installation as a weatherproof covering to a park model or mobile home and the design of the roof is altered, the roof over is then considered an improvement and must be calculated as a cumulative substantial improvement unless the park model or mobile home is elevated at a minimum on 36" reinforced piers. Roof overs may not connect a nonconforming site built addition to a park model or mobile home. Siding applied to park models or mobile homes are considered improvements and are counted in the nonsubstantial calculations unless the park model or mobile home is elevated on 36" reinforced piers.
We are located at the Athens Park Homes Factory and we believe that you expect and deserve a well-built, high quality Park Model at an affordable price.

As a sixth-round pick of the Chicago Bears, San Jose State QB David Fales will be joining his mentor Jordan Palmer at Halas Hall later next week. The 6-1, 228 Salinas, Cal. native is eager to work again with Palmer, whom he first met before the Senior Bowl.
"I can't wait to take advantage of this opportunity," Fales said after being drafted. " I met him a while ago and we've worked together several times since then. I definitely view Jordan as my mentor. To have the chance to learn form him on a daily basis is beyond anything I could have imagined."
Fales spent his first two collegiate seasons as the starting quarterback for Monterey Peninsula College. This was followed by a brief stint at Nevada, where he soon realized the system in place did not fit his talents or comfort level.
"I realized right away that what they wanted wasn't a good fit for me. They wanted me to be more of a runner," Fales said.
As a sophomore, Fales received All-Coast Conference recognition. In December 2011, Fales signed a letter of intent to San Jose State University, a school he felt would help him develop his talents. Another plus for the young quarterback: it was "right down the road" from his hometown.
At San Jose State, Fales helped drive one of the country's elite passing attacks.
"I learned so much and felt I had the chance to develop and maximize my talents there," Fales said.
In 2012, Fales ranked sixth nationally with 4,193 passing yards, or 355.92 yards per game. The following season, Fales ranked fourth in the nation with 349.67 yards per game.
"It was a great time to compete and learn," Fales said. "That is the path I hope to continue now that I will be with the Bears. I know the work of the Bears' current quarterbacks and it's extremely impressive. There is so much they have to teach me."
What about possibly competing for the backup QB position with his old mentor Palmer?
"I don't view that as a competition at all," Fales said. "I'm just here at this point to soak things in, to learn. I spent some time already before the draft working with [QB] coach [Matt] Kavanaugh. I think I demonstrated enough to make him feel I'll be a good addition to this team."
In terms of skill set, Fales feels his strength lies in his footwork, mechanics and consistency. He was told prior to the Senior Bowl his arm strength could improve, and Fales also intends to work on that aspect of his game.
As far as getting the chance to work with Coach Marc Trestman, consider by many a "QB guru", Fales could barely contain his enthusiasm.
"It's an honor to have this opportunity," Fales said. "I know I'll be learning from the best. I'll be around the people who can make me better every single day. It doesn't get any better than that."
Beth Gorr has been covering the Bears for the last 12 years and is the author of Bear Memories: The Chicago-Green Bay Rivalry. She is currently working on a second book about early Bears history.

Let it rain. Let it pelt down with rain.
That's the message Brumbies coach Jake White gave New Zealand press when asked if Hamilton's dodgy weather forecast concerned him ahead of Saturday's Super Rugby final against the Chiefs.
"The Chiefs have got the most offloads, the most tries (in the competition), so I hope it's pelting down," White said.
"There's no doubt that rain will be a leveller."
Slippery weather conditions at a sold-out Waikato Stadium are less likely to disrupt the Brumbies, as their kicking game plan relies on forcing a penalty or turnover in good field position through the likes of departing veteran flanker George Smith.
The South African-flavoured style has yielded them more penalty goals than any other side this year, many of which have come from the boot of icy-cool kicker and former Waikato player Christian Lealiifano.
But even if it does bucket down, winning a final in Hamilton against the defending champions will be a tall order for the Brumbies.
No Australian or South African side has ever won any type of finals match in New Zealand in the competition's 18-year history.
The Brumbies have also had a gruelling four-week travel schedule that is similar to what the Sharks were forced to endure before falling to the Chiefs in the final last year.
Yet White seems more than happy to trumpet the underdog card.
"We've got no chance, we've travelled around the world, we've been in four time zones in four weeks," he said.
"But, that is what the romance of sport is all about."
One factor in White's favour is the luxury of naming an unchanged Brumbies 22 for his third consecutive week.
The Brumbies look to be peaking, and another game with unchanged combinations might see them step up another notch from their historical 26-23 underdog win against the Bulls in Pretoria last week.
While the Chiefs have also named an unchanged 22 following their 20-19 semi-final win against the Crusaders, they're sweating over the fitness of star winger Lelia Masaga.
The one-Test All Black averages the most metres per carry in the competition, and showcased his unrivalled talent for keeping his feet last week when he barged over three Crusaders players to score the opening try.
Outside backs like Masaga work seamlessly off silky skilled five-eighth Aaron Cruden, and their punishing attack has scored more tries than any other this year despite having the least amount of possession.
Masaga, captain Craig Clarke, Toby Smith, Richard Kahui and Brendon Leonard are all departing the club at the end of the season.
If victorious they'll become just the fourth club to win back-to-back titles, while a Brumbies win would elevate them to Super Rugby's second most successful franchise with three championship titles and three runners-up.

Microsoft wants to bring power generation inside the rack, and make data centers cheaper and greener in the process. The company says it will test racks with built-in fuel cells, a move that would eliminate the need for expensive power distribution systems seen in traditional data centers.
In a new white paper, Microsoft researchers say the use of methane-powered fuel cells at the rack level offers the greatest efficiency and savings. It's a new twist on the convergence of data centers and renewable power, which has seen eBay use fuel cells as a building-level power source in its Utah server farm, eliminating the need for UPS units and generators. Microsoft says integrating fuel cells directly into data center racks can eliminate power distribution systems and even server-level power supplies, dramatically reducing energy loss.
This approach builds on Microsoft's goal of creating "data plants" that operate with no connection to the utility power grid. The company is deploying a proof of concept in Cheyenne, Wyoming featuring a modular data centers housed at a water treatment plant. This waste-powered data center will use electricity from a fuel cell running on methane biogas from the plant.
Microsoft now wants to take this a step further. Using a rack-level fuel cell can "collapse the entire energy supply chain, from the power plant to the server motherboard, into the confines of a single server cabinet," said Sean James, Senior Research Program Manager for Microsoft Global Foundation Services.
"The main distinction between this data plant concept and previous architecture ideas is the notion of bringing the power plant inside the data center, instead of putting the data center in the power plant," James writes in a blog post. "A lot of energy is lost in today's data center energy supply chain. We show how integrating a small generator with the IT hardware significantly cuts complexity by eliminating all the electrical distribution in the grid and data center."
James said Microsoft is in the "early stages" of exploring the concept, but believes this design could improve efficiency, reduce the total cost of operating a data center, and improve reliability by distributing risk. If a fuel cell fails, it would affect only one rack rather than an entire data center.
"We plan to install a fuel cell with servers to get first-hand measurements," said the white paper.
The Microsoft team explored several approaches to incorporating fuel cells into data centers, evaluating the cost and efficiency of using them at the utility power level and even at the server level. Using fuel cells to replace the utility feed improves efficiency, but allows a failure to affect the entire data center. Small fuel cells can be integrated into servers, eliminating the need for power cabling, but this approach isn't cost effective.
Integrating fuel calls into racks eliminates the need for power infrastructure – including UPS units, generators and switch gear – by replacing it with gas pipes to distribute fuel. This approach would also cost more to cool. Microsoft estimates this design would reduce capital expenses by 16 to 2o percent, while cutting operating costs by 3 percent or more.
"Having fuel cells close to the servers makes direct DC power distribution possible," the researchers write. "This can also eliminate the AC power supply unit in servers, currently used to convert AC input to internal DC power."
"We see tremendous potential in this approach, but this concept is not without challenges," said James. "Deep technical issues remain, such as thermal cycling, fuel distribution systems, cell conductivity, power management, and safety training that needs to be further researched and solutions developed. But we are excited about working to resolve these challenges.

A dog was rescued after being left tied to a railing with no food or water. The brindled Staffordshire cross was discovered whimpering, hungry and thirsty by the steps of Mersey Vale Nature Park in Stockport.
It is unclear how long the dog, which has been named Rudolph, had been tied to the railings, but he was only found by dad-of-three James Locke as he made his way home from a night out.
He took Rudolph home and the dog is now being cared for by the RSPCA.
James, who lives in Greenside in Heaton Mersey, Stockport, found the dog last Thursday.
He said: "It was pitch black but as I walked past I could hear this dog barking and whimpering.
"I'm not really a dog person – in fact I'm quite scared of them – but I couldn't just leave it there.
"When I went up to him he was really friendly.
"I took him back home and he was so dehydrated but just really happy to sit on my wife's knee on the sofa.
"The way he was abandoned there is disgraceful. I don't think he would have lasted the night."
After caring for Rudolph overnight, the little dog was handed to the care of the RSPCA.He is now being looked after by staff at the charity's animal sanctuary in Warrington, who hope to rehome him once he has recovered from his ordeal.
Thought to be around six years old, Rudolph has no collar or identification chip to help trace his owners, or those who may have abandoned him.
RSPCA inspector Andy Harris said: "This is a lovely little dog but he's very thin and has obviously not been well treated.
"We think he must have been dumped by someone and any information to lead us to that person would be very welcome – if we find them we would prosecute under the Animal Welfare Act. We would also like to find him a loving new home for the new year."
Anyone with information or who wants to offer Rudolph a new home should call 01925 632944.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. -- Fourth-ranked Northwestern used a 7-1 run covering both sides of halftime to overcome a feisty Notre Dame squad Wednesday evening, downing the ninth-ranked Irish 10-8 at Arlotta Stadium in South Bend. Senior Erin Fitzgerald scored four points (three goals, one assist) and junior attacker Kat DeRonda contributed a career-best three goals to NU's 14th straight win over the Fighting Irish.
After the 'Cats built a five-goal advantage with 22:57 to play, the hosts did their best to rally with a 4-1 run in the middle third of the second half. But sophomore goalkeeper Bridget Bianco -- who recorded seven first-half saves on her way to nine for the evening -- and the Northwestern defense kept the Irish off the scoreboard for the final 11 minutes of the game to secure the win.
Northwestern's willingness to do the dirty work defensively was reflected in a 24-17 advantage in ground balls for the evening, led by senior Ali Cassera's career-high-tying six as well as five from her classmate Taylor Thornton.
Fitzgerald put the Wildcats on the board offensively when she answered Notre Dame's first goal of the game with a score off a free position attempt and, after the NU defense forced a turnover in front of its own goal, Alyssa Leonard fired home a left-handed shot to give NU an early 2-1 lead.
The Irish put away two goals in a span of just 11 seconds to restore a 3-2 advantage at the 22:43 mark, but the Wildcats countered by running an efficient offensive set that ended with Fitzgerald feeding a cutting Kaleigh Craig for Craig's sixth score of the year. NU took a 4-3 lead soon after when Beatrice Conley wrapped the crease to score and Bianco kept Northwestern's lead intact with back-to-back saves on a fast-break opportunity for the Irish.
With eight minutes to go in the first, NU extended its lead when freshman Nancy Dunbar fed DeRonda in space for Northwestern's fifth goal of the evening.
With the Wildcats later protecting a one-goal lead, it appeared NU's final possession of the first half would end without the 'Cats getting a good look on cage, but the Irish were whistled for defensive three seconds with only one second left on the clock. Fitzgerald converted the ensuing 8-meter attempt to send Northwestern into the locker room with momentum and a 6-4 advantage.
Northwestern then came out strong in the second half, controlling possession and taking a 7-4 lead when Leonard wove her way through the defense and set up DeRonda on the doorstep. Barely a minute later, sophomore Jess Carroll used her speed to dodge straight down the middle of the Irish defense and beat Ellie Hilling in goal, notching her second goal of the season and forcing a timeout by Irish head coach Christine Halfpenny with 22:57 remaining.
The timeout paid dividends for Notre Dame, which was able to score once from the run of play and again off the free position arc to pull within three with 18:03 left. DeRonda briefly restored a four-goal NU edge with an 8-meter goal of her own, but Notre Dame notched two goals in a span of just 13 seconds to inch back to within 10-8 on the scoreboard and set up an exciting final 11 minutes.
After the teams traded turnovers, Northwestern worked several minutes off the clock before attempting a shot on an empty cage that went inches wide, returning possession to the Irish with 2:28 to play. Following a timeout, the 'Cats withstood a flurry in front of their own cage that saw Notre Dame ring a shot off the post and have another saved by Bianco before the Irish turned it over on a bad pass to seal the NU win.
Senior Gabriella Flibotte also chipped in with three ground balls and two draw controls in the midfield.
Northwestern puts the finishing touches on the 2013 regular season at 1 p.m. Saturday when it hosts Ivy League champion Pennsylvania at Lakeside Field. Be sure to arrive early to help the Wildcats celebrate Senior Day, with seven NU seniors playing their final regular-season game at Lakeside Field. All Northwestern students are invited to a free pregame tailgate beginning at 12:30 p.m., and all fans in attendance are welcome to participate in a postgame autograph session.
