FLINDERS Preschool celebrated a golden star rating and exceeding the national quality standard in childcare.
Australian Children's Education and Care Authority conducted a two day assessment of the centre to ensure it fit in with new regulations.
The school received a glowing final report that saw it exceed the national standard.
Preschool director Gabriella Howard said staff were feeling a range of emotions from excitement to being overwhelmed.
"In any career it's nice to be acknowledged for great work, so we welcome the rating. However, we really feel privileged to engage with children and their families in a warm and caring atmosphere," she said.
"Ultimately, we're all in this for the kids."
Ms Howard said it was a great way to bring in the centre's 10th year anniversary.
"It is a very stressful process, so I congratulate Kellie and her team for achieving the amazing result and we thank those families who also contributed to the intensive process," Ms Howard said.
"We are honoured to achieve the exceeding rating and acknowledge that we are very lucky to have a career working closely with families and their children.
"Our staff is a mix of younger and mature teachers with their own children and grandchildren, which is very much a strength of the centre."
There are seven quality areas which are checked during the assessment process and to receive an exceeded rating the service must offer a comprehensive preschool program.

Lucy Hobbs Taylor (1833-1910)
The first woman to receive her dentistry degree was Lucy Hobbs Taylor. She first wanted to become a doctor, and headed to Eclectic Medical College, which was the only school that accepted women at that time. When she arrived she found that the school had adopted a new policy not to accept women. She was told to apply to dentistry school, since there was less stress involved. She found a dentist in Ohio who taught her to pull teeth and make dentures. Even with this training, she was not admitted into dentistry school, because she was a woman. She apprenticed with other dentists without a degree, a common practice at that time. She opened her first office in Iowa, and eventually was admitted to the Iowa state Dental Association. Later, she was accepted into the Ohio College and graduated in 1866 with a degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery. She taught her husband dentistry and they started a practice together. She practiced dentistry until she died of a stroke in 1910.

The U.S. Navy is designing what will be its first submarine that accommodates women specifically — and it's headed to New Jersey, according to multiple reports.
The vessel will boast more doors and bathrooms to give women more privacy, along with other subtle modifications.
In 2010, the Navy lifted its ban on females on submarines. There has since been a rise in women in the Navy, which is what sparked the change to the submarines, several sources are saying.

Jul 11, 2012 - By Bruce Tippets, Sports EditorDerick Green broke a 4-4 deadlock for the Lander 11-12-year-old baseball all-stars with a two-run homer in the bottom of the third inning, and it was the game-winner vs. Riverton on Tuesday night in Lander.
Lander pitcher Devon Kuck allowed Riverton one run in the next three innings to compete the best-of-three sweep in a 6-5 Lander win.
"It was just one of those fastballs," said Green on the pitch he hit for the game-winning home run. "Baseball is our game. It's our love and our sport. We just love it so much."
Riverton had a 4-0 lead before Lander started to make its comeback.
"It means a lot to beat Riverton," said Green after the series. "We work hard and do our best. We just work together as a group."
Lander earned a 7-5 victory over Riverton on Monday night at the Ron Saban Baseball Complex in Riverton in the opening game of the series.
"They were two very close games," Riverton manager Mike Fisher said. "Lander is a good team. They did a great job. You have to give them credit."
Lander will now be a No. 1 seed for the district tournament on Wednesday, July 18, through Friday, July 20, in Cody.
"This is a really big win," Lander manager Ernie Vierra said. "Anytime you play Riverton, it's going to be a tough game. It was a good test for us. Riverton is always good."
Riverton has dominated the early postseason series with Lander in recent years.
The top two teams from district tournaments advance to the state tournament. The brackets for the district tournament will be announced in the next few days.
Lander 6, Lander 5
Riverton's Ridge McCoy continued his hot streak at the plate on Tuesday night, clouting a three-run homer over the left field fence in the first inning.
McCoy had two homers Monday for Riverton in front of his home fans.
Kyren Higgs added an RBI double to put the visiting team ahead 4-0.
"When we jumped out to that big lead, that was important for us," Fisher said.
In the bottom of the second, William Atnip put Lander on the scoreboard with an RBI single vs. Riverton starter Dillon Fabricus.
Jacob Lytle connected for an RBI single for Lander, and Spencer Smithbaker hit an RBI double to tie it at 4-4.
"We just let Lander get back in the game," Fisher said.
In the top of the fourth, Cody Frazier produced an RBI single to make it a 6-5 game.
"We had our chances, but things just didn't go our way," Fisher said.
McCoy was called out at home plate to finish the inning for Riverton.
Kuck had to leave the game in the top of the sixth after he reached the 85-pitch limit.
"Devon did great," Green said. "This was one of the best games that he ever pitched. Everybody encouraged him, everybody in the stands and the coaches. He is just a really good guy.
This was the first time Fisher had seen Kuck pitch all season.
"He did a good job," Fisher said.
"He threw strikes. At this age level, if you are going to throw strikes then you are going to win."
Smithbaker walked Matt Fisher, but the right-hander ended the game on a flyout to left field.
"Our defense played really well," Vierra said.
Fabricus went the distance for Riverton.
"Dillon pitched a great game for us," Fisher said. "We couldn't have asked anything more from him."

Training on Advocacy of Migrant Rights:
Five-day long training on Advocacy of Migrant Rights was organized by PNCC from August 9 t0 13, 2014 at Dhulikhel, Kavre. Total 30 members including 15 individuals who were selected from ground level discussion, have been trained about the national and international legal mechanism related to migration, leadership skills and network building, proposal and report writing technique, women migration and other issues. The training was also able to bring migrant community from seven districts of Nepal including PNCC members and staffs who have been working at district level.

Foreign employment has also become a source of lucrative business for a number of recruiting agencies. Many migrant workers recruited through recruitment agencies or brokers are given bogus or misleading information about their job. In general, this would relate to the wages they would receive, the type of work they will do and the number of hours they are contracted to work each day . Most of the recruitment agencies work through a channel of local sub-agents or intermediaries, who become trustworthy to local youths, thus the vulnerability of being victim of deceptive agencies rises. On top of that, lack of knowledge on the process of migration among the youths helps complexion of the problem to greater extent. They lack education, information about recruiting procedures, and the financial means to contract recruiting agencies . Due to lack of proper knowledge and awareness about the process of migration among the migrant workers stringed with no or insufficient knowledge about the destination countries and the work, employers, working conditions and the like provide ample ground to the labor exploitation and other human rights violation.

Future unclear for Goward, but it will all come out in the wash
And then there are the things that can't wait
Pru Goward
gets stuck into the laundry at her Goulburn flat as counting
continues in the seat to determine her political fate.
Photo: Peter Morris
THE MP-in-waiting and possible future party leader Pru Goward has edged closer to securing Goulburn for the Liberals, while Morris Iemma says his star recruit, Jodi McKay, will win Newcastle.
Ms Goward was about 455 votes ahead of her nearest rival, the Goulburn Mayor and independent candidate, Paul Stephenson, yesterday but about 6000 votes, including 4000 pre-polls, are still to be counted.
The former federal sex discrimination commissioner said she went into the election as the underdog but her prospects had improved.
"I feel very comfortable that the absentee vote and pre-poll will get us over the line," Ms Goward said.
In other undecided seats, Port Stephens has emerged as one of the closest, with only 100 votes between the Labor candidate, Jim Arneman, and his Liberal rival, the former mayor Craig Baumann. A result is at least a week away.
Mr Iemma said Labor had claimed Newcastle and Maitland but the Premier was less optimistic about Lake Macquarie, which could be won by an independent.
Greg Piper, Mayor of Lake Macquarie, is expected to snatch the seat from Labor's Jeff Hunter.
Mr Iemma said: "In Lake Macquarie, Mr Hunter is just in front but there are many thousands of postal and pre-polls and a big Seventh Day Adventist community who obviously don't vote on Saturdays, so those votes are still to be counted.
"Lake Macquarie will take many days, Port Stephens will take many days, as will Goulburn, although Pru Goward's position has strengthened."
Scrutineers for Ms McKay have told Mr Iemma the former local newsreader would edge out her main rival, John Tate, with preferences and postal votes.
"Jodi McKay will win Newcastle, Frank Terenzini will win Maitland," Mr Iemma said.
Despite this, Cr Tate, Newcastle's popular Lord Mayor and independent candidate, has not conceded defeat and said a result could still be days away. Cr Tate said he was trailing by about 700 votes. "No, it's not over yet. I am quietly confident. I don't think it will be a big margin if we do win but we really just have to wait and see," Cr Tate said.
It has been a tough campaign for Ms McKay, a political novice. A senior Labor colleague said an unprecedented amount of Labor money had been poured into her troubled attempt for Macquarie Street and the businesswoman has admitted that the past six months had been the hardest of her life.
Ms McKay has not spoken publicly since the election and did not return calls yesterday.

At about 12:45 p.m., Salt Lake City fire crews responded to the Playhouse Daycare Center, at 1760 S. 1100 East, to find heavy smoke in the basement, according to a fire department news release.
Twenty children — five of them infants — were evacuated from the basement day care operation and taken to a building across the street to await the arrival of their parents.
Once power to the building was cut off, the smoke inside the building dissipated.

Mexico City (AFP) July 05, 2013
Four senior Mexican military officers walked free from prison Friday after they were cleared of charges that they protected a drug cartel, putting a spotlight on the controversial use of anonymous witnesses.
As they emerged at dawn from a maximum security prison in Mexico state, the officers accused the previous administration of Felipe Calderon, who was president from 2006 to 2012, of abusing its power by jailing them.
Authorities ordered late Thursday the "absolute and immediate" release of the military officials after the attorney general's office dropped the charges, citing a lack of evidence in a case accusing them of links to the Beltran Leyva cartel.
Analysts say the case was emblematic of the Calderon administration's reliance on so-called protected witnesses, who included members of drug cartels and whose testimony, they say, was used to sideline political rivals.
Generals Roberto Dawe, Ricardo Escorcia and Ruben Perez, along with Lieutenant Colonel Silvio Hernandez, had been in prison since May 2012.
A fifth officer, Major Ivan Reyna, was also cleared of the charges, but he remained in prison due to a separate fraud case.
"I am very upset, I feel aggrieved," Perez told reporters as family members held the arms of the freed officers. "What happened was vile, and it's good that justice is being rendered."
Their release came two months after a former deputy head of the army, retired general Tomas Angeles Dauahare, was freed also due to a lack of evidence in the high-profile case.
"In the end, the one who put us in prison was the previous president and his attorney general (Marisela Morales)," Escorcia said, calling the case "an abuse of power."
The arrest of the military officers came in the last months of Calderon's presidency, which was marked by a massive troop deployment across the country to combat drug cartels.
Jose Gabriel Baeza, a lawyer for two of the officers, told AFP that the officials had "impeccable careers" in the military and that the accusations against them were based on the testimony of two gang members who were in the witness protection program.
President Enrique Pena Nieto, who took office in December, is changing the security strategy to focus on reducing the drug-related violence that has left 70,000 people dead since 2006. But he says troops will remain on the ground until the murder rate drops.
"The previous administration abused the use of the protected witness," Arturo Argente Villareal, director of the law department at the Monterrey Institute of Technology, told AFP, adding that the new government appears to be dropping the use of such testimony.
"The protected witness was used as an instrument to attack or eliminate political enemies," he said, noting that Angeles Dauahare was seen as a contender to become defense chief under Pena Nieto.
Javier Oliva, a defense expert at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), said the case was likely retribution after Angeles Dauahare "questioned" Calderon's anti-cartel strategy at an event that featured then presidential candidate Pena Nieto.
"I think it was political retaliation against Angeles and, by extension, the other generals, in order for the president to reaffirm that he is the commander of the armed forces and that, even though they're retired, they can't move to support anybody," Oliva said.

For the first time, Wilmington University is holding a contest for its computer and network security (CNS) students — and the grand prize is $313.37 in bitcoin.
The contest is the brainchild of David Rhoades, the director of Maven Security Consulting. He's the one offering the hacker-esque prize, and he got the idea last year when he was at an awards event at the school's College of Technology, and not one award was related to CNS.
"There were several (awards) for mobile apps and game design and graphics — but nothing for the lowly hacker," Rhoades quipped.
The winner, announced sometime this spring, will be a CNS student who "best exemplifies a passion for the cyber security profession" by presenting a portfolio of extracurricular cybersecurity work from the past school year. The winner will be chosen by the university.
The school is calling it the "CNS Passion for the Profession Award," but Rhoades thinks that lacks pizzazz. He instead refers to it as the "Elite Award," or "31337 Award" (hence the $313.37 prize amount).
Rhoades, who will begin teaching an ethical hacking course at Wilmington University in January, acknowledges bitcoin might not be the preferred currency for students. "Some of these (computer and network security) majors are just looking to get into the field, not … off running Nigerian scams or anything like that," he said.
So, there's good news for students — Rhoades said there's some fine print to the bitcoin rules that U.S. traveler's checks will also be an option.

Welcome to Christmas in January and February
In 1990 I first published 'Christmas in January' as a collection of Christmas decoration exhibitors as part of our sister publication 'Toys 'n' Playthings' preview to the Harrogate Toy Fair.
Such was the interest shown, that I was encouraged to publish the following year, a stand-alone edition mailed to 5,000 buyers of Christmas-related product. Twenty years on and 'Christmas in January' has grown to be the accepted bible of this industry in the UK. Back in 1990, outdoor lighting was in its infancy, Christmas trees and garlands were primarily made from tinsel and probably within the UK, no more than 30 or so suppliers showed at Harrogate. Fast forward to 2010 and the bulk of the exhibitors at Harrogate are Christmas decoration companies where design and fashion trends shape the various ranges on display.
The industry has made massive strides since I first introduced 'Christmas in January, so much so that in 2000, Christmas in February was published to highlight those exhibitors showing at Spring Fair. With Frankfurt's Christmas World attracting more and more exhibitors and buyers from around the world, Christmas in February will preview both these shows. In addition to the UK circulation of 5,800 copies, we shall also mail 2,000 further copies to selected overseas visitors to Christmas World.

The NFXF relies on the support of its dedicated fundraisers. Aside from providing a dependable source of funding for the foundation, organizing a fundraising event offers unique opportunities for participants who have been touched by Fragile X. These include but are not limited to:
One of the NFXF's longtime supporters is Nancy Reilly. Starting with a small event run from her home, her annual fundraiser has grown each year and is now well known in her local community. Read on to learn about her inspirational fundraising journey:
I founded 'Lizzie's Annual Open House to Benefit the NFXF.' When my daughter Lizzie was diagnosed with FXS six years ago, my husband and I had no idea what it was. It took only a few months for me to realize that I had to do something to bring awareness to as many people as possible. A fundraiser was the perfect answer—it would help make people aware while raising money for research. I had never done this before, but I felt I owed it to Lizzie and those like her to give it a shot.
We enjoyed modest success at our first Open House, and the next year we had three home- based companies selling their products and donating a portion of their earnings to the foundation. By our third year we had moved out into the community, increased our participants to 10, included a raffle, and had many more attendees. We put flyers in our neighbor's mailboxes, asked local merchants to post the flyer in their store windows, and we placed ads in the local newspaper to get the word out about our event. Each year, my goal is to raise one dollar more and make at least one more person aware than we did the year before.
With the help of the wonderful people at the foundation we have learned so much, not only about Fragile X but about ourselves and what we are capable of. Every morning I send Lizzie out to face a world that she doesn't understand and that doesn't understand her, but she walks out the door with a beautiful smile on her face and tackles it head on. The least I can do is to help make that world more understanding of her.
Please be sure to review our Fundraising Guidelines before planning your event. The NFXF is here to assist in any way that we can in order to help make your event a success. Don't hesitate to contact firstname.lastname@example.com with questions on how to get started. Or check out our Fundraising Toolkit, and keep us posted on your plans and progress!

Date: August 13 2014
A straight-talking Wests Tigers side say they are playing for under-siege NRL coach Mick Potter's career against premiers the Sydney Roosters at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday night.
Backroom manoeuvrings already had Potter under pressure, however his tenure is balanced on a knife edge following last weekend's 64-6 hiding at the hands of North Queensland in Townsville.
Back-rower Dene Halatau was frank in his appraisal that the the coach and playing group both faced the axe should they put in another insipid performance this weekend.
However, he refused to accept that the result was a foregone conclusion, emphasising the game would come down to attitude.
"We're playing for our season and for (Potter's) job," he said.
"If we get the result and we do get in the finals, it's going to do him no harm at all. Going into the finals with a bit of momentum would be ideal."
The 12th-placed Tigers are a mathematical chance of qualifying for the top eight but only if they win all four remaining and other results run their way.
Halfback Luke Brooks is considered an outside chance to return from a shoulder injury against the Roosters.
He has returned to training but has not resumed contact work.
Stand-in half Curtis Sironen said Brooks had shown plenty of enthusiasm on the training paddock and did not look far off a return.
Brooks will need to pass a physical test if he is to play this week and is considered more likely to make a comeback next week.
The No.7's absence, along with injuries to James Tedesco (knee) and Braith Anasta (bicep), means the side again will be missing three quarters of their spine.
Centre Chris Lawrence, who will play his 150th match against the Roosters, said injuries and the youthful nature of the squad had contributed to the team's recent poor form.
"We've got an inexperienced side and we made too many mistakes early (against the Cowboys) and had guys dropping their heads and playing a side that, once they're on a roll, they're pretty hard to stop," he said.
"It just felt like the harder we tried and the more we tried to do, the deeper we dug ourselves in a hole."

Stage 16: Finalizing Revisions
Although it is tempting to have some letdown time after your defence, it is important to follow up immediately on any revisions requested by your committee members. This is the last round prior to being officially done!
Step 1: Record any comments and decisions about revision requests made by your committee members during your final defence.
Step 2: Talk to advisor(s) after the defence to clarify their suggestions and present a proposal of the final changes you will complete.
Step 3: Dedicate time to writing your final revisions; make a checklist of tasks.
Step 4: Finish your final content revisions and sentence-level editing.
- Find an outside editor (extra set of eyes) for your final draft. Pay someone if feasible...it's worth it at this point
- Incorporate current editorial guidelines in your field for publishing, such as APA (American Psychological Association) and MLA (Modern Language Association). (Note that these websites are not a substitute for the associations' published style manuals)
- Include final page specifications for the Graduate School (margins, cover page, abstract requirements, etc.)
Step 5: Get final approval for revisions from advisor before submitting.

Adaptively secure multiparty computation is an essential and fundamental notion in cryptography. In this work we focus on the basic question of constructing a multiparty computation protocol secure against a \\emph{malicious}, \\emph{adaptive} adversary in the \\emph{stand-alone} setting without assuming an honest majority, in the plain model. It has been believed that this question can be resolved by composing known protocols from the literature. We show that in fact, this belief is fundamentally mistaken. In particular, we show:
\\item[-]\\textbf{Round inefficiency is unavoidable when using black-box simulation:} There does not exist any $o(\\frac{n}{\\log{n}})$ round protocol that adaptively securely realizes a (natural) $n$-party functionality with a black-box simulator. Note that most previously known protocols in the adaptive security setting relied on black-box simulators.
\\item[-]\\textbf{A constant round protocol using non-black-box simulation:} We construct a \\emph{constant round} adaptively secure multiparty computation protocol in a setting without \\emph{honest majority} that makes crucial use of non-black box techniques.
Taken together, these results give the first resolution to the question of adaptively secure multiparty computation protocols with a malicious dishonest majority in the plain model, open since the first formal treatment of adaptive security for multiparty computation in 1996.

I don't want to have to deal with another box just for DHCP. This
feature would make alot of people happy.
And it will become an more and more requested feature, like for IP Phone

Anti-Gay Minister Out of Presidential Inaugural
BTL Staff Report
Originally printed 1/3/2013 (Issue 2101 - Between The Lines News)
MSNBC reported Thursday that Rev. Louie Giglio, an Atlanta minister and founder of the Passion Conferences, has withdrawn from President Obama's Jan. 21 inauguration because of anti-gay comments he made in the past.
"Due to a message of mine that has surfaced from 15-20 years ago, it is likely that my participation and the prayer I would offer will be dwarfed by those seeking to make their agenda the focal point of the inauguration," Giglio said. "Clearly, speaking on this issue has not been in the range of my priorities in the past fifteen years. Instead, my aim has been to call people to ultimate significance as we make much of Jesus Christ," said Giglio in a statement to the press that also said staying in would not best serve his core message.
Giglio was scheduled to deliver the benediction at Obama's second inaugural. However, ThinkProgress discovered anti-gay remarks Giglio made in a mid-1990s sermon entitled "In Search of a Standard--Christian Response to Homosexuality." Giglio urged Christians to fight the "aggressive agenda" of the gay rights movement and advocated "the healing power of Jesus" as "the only way out of a homosexual lifestyle."
The Presidential Inaugural Committee put out a statement saying, "We were not aware of Pastor Giglio's past comments at the time of his selection and they don't reflect our desire to celebrate the strength and diversity of our country at this Inaugural," Addie Whisenant, a spokesperson for the committee, said. "As we now work to select someone to deliver the benediction, we will ensure their beliefs reflect this administration's vision of inclusion and acceptance for all Americans."
"It was the right decision," Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign wrote in an email Thursday. "Participants in the Inaugural festivities should unite rather than divide. Choosing an affirming and fair-minded voice as his replacement would be in keeping with the tone the president wants to set for his Inaugural."
In 2009, Obama chose Rev. Rick Warren to give the invocation, drawing outcry from some on the left because of Warren's opposition to same-sex marriage.

UPDATE, 12:40 p.m. ET:
The body found encased in concrete in a oil barrel on Toronto's lakeshore was that of a Thornhill man with ties to Asian organized crime, police said today.
Quang Lu, 47, went missing in October 2007, shortly after returning from China. He was reportedly a loan shark, and lived a ''high risk lifestyle,'' said Detective Hank Idsinga of the Toronto police homicide squad.
"Mr. Lu does have ties to Asian organized crime,'' he said.
Police found the body in a barrel in the water near 125 Queen's Quay East not long after they received a tip.
Shortly after his disappearance, the
branded Lu a "millionaire loan shark" from Markham. He was last seen by his family on Oct. 30, 2007. A police source told the newspaper Lu's nickname was
Black Ghost
A source described Lu as the largest loan shark in and around the Niagara Falls casino. "When the casinos opened, the sharks moved from Chinatown to the casinos," the source said. The source said a "gentleman's agreement" put Vietnamese gangsters in Niagara while members of the Big Circle Boys focus on Casino Rama customers. Lu made millions through loan sharking, the source had said. "They wanted him dead 20 years ago," another source said.
Homicide detectives with the
are today expected to release the identity of a
body found inside a rusty steel barrel in Lake Ontario
over the Victoria Day long weekend.
Acting on a tip, police hauled the barrel out of the water on Sunday. Inside, they found a body encased in concrete.
Speculation has already been swirling over who the victim might be. Some believe it might be
Montreal Mafia kingpin Paolo Renda
, who
the body could be that of
, the teenaged girl who disappeared in September 2009, just after arriving from her native Georgia.
Mariam's father, Vakhtang Makhniashvili, was
after storming into a neighbour's apartment and allegedly stabbing the man in a stomach over a noise complaint. At the time, police suggested
his alleged behaviour might have been spurred by the stress
of the search for Mariam.

* Eyes on ECB policy-setting meeting on Thursday * Dollar rises as euro falls ahead of ECB meeting * BHP likely to delay decision on Olympic Dam mine expansion By Chris Kelly and Susan Thomas NEW YORK/LONDON, July 30 (Reuters) - London copper prices fell for the first time in fives days on Monday as investors weighed the likelihood of further stimulus measures later this week from the European Central Bank and U.S. Federal Reserve. Both the ECB and the Fed are set to meet this week. The Fed will start a two-day meeting on Tuesday, with many economists believing the central bank will wait until September to provide more stimulus to a faltering U.S. economic recovery. The ECB's policy-setting meeting on Thursday is receiving more of the markets' attention after the bank's chief, Mario Draghi, pledged last week to do everything to save the euro. But translating his words into action are particularly important given the threat the long-running euro zone crisis poses to the global economy. Bold action by the ECB is at least five weeks away, insiders told Reuters. "People have got fed up with the thinking that rhetoric from the ECB is enough," Standard Chartered analyst Dan Smith said. "The ECB has to be more aggressive to turn things around. Draghi talking about it was enough to give the market a lift but that doesn't last very long. People want to see action rather than words." London Metal Exchange (LME) three-month copper shed $19 to end at $7,549 a tonne. Copper is set to close the month down more than 2 percent, after shedding more than 13 percent from the year's high hit in February. In New York, the COMEX September contract fell 1 cent to settle at $3.4160 per lb, after dealing between $3.4025 and $3.4555. Copper fell alongside the euro as traders cashed in on the gains registered last week and as the dollar rose against a basket of currencies. A stronger dollar makes commodities less expensive for holders of other currencies. CHINA Compounding the headline-driven results from both the ECB and Fed meetings this week is economic data from top commodities consumer China. On Wednesday, China will release its official manufacturing sector index, which will be scoured for more evidence that loosening steps taken by Beijing in the past few months have filtered down to the real economy, helping stimulate growth and metals demand. The index may have inched up to 50.3 in July from 50.2 in the previous month, reinforcing signs that the world's second-largest economy is stabilising due to increased policy support. Analyst Walter de Wet at Standard Bank in London expected the Chinese PMI to come in higher than expected at 50.7, which could spur some short-covering. "However, we maintain that the upside for industrial commodities remains capped and that rallies should fade," he said in a note. Positive signs emerged earlier this month that China's steps were having an effect after a preliminary indicator showed manufacturing output in July grew at its fastest pace in nine months. China is the world's biggest copper consumer, accounting for 40 percent of refined copper demand last year. But demand so far in 2012 has been lacklustre as the world's second biggest economy grapples with a slowdown in its export markets. From a fundamental viewpoint, however, there are arguments for copper prices rising in the longer term, Commerzbank said in a research note. That includes reports that BHP Billiton is likely to put on hold a decision on a $30 billion proposed expansion of its Olympic Dam mine in South Australia. "Given the difficult market environment, other mine producers can likewise be expected to postpone projects, which in the medium and long term will strip supply from the market," Commerzbank said.

Watch: Pakistani Comic Turns Burka Into Symbol of Women's Lib
- By Elias GrollElias Groll is a staff writer at Foreign Policy, covering cyberspace and its conflicts and controversies. He has written for the magazine since 2012 and is a graduate of Harvard University.
- elias.groll
- @eliasgroll
Can a burka be a symbol of women's liberation?
That provocative question is at the heart of a new Pakistani children's cartoon, of all things. Burka Avenger stars a girls' school teacher who dons a burka to combat a cast of Taliban-esque villains with a decidedly conservative view of the appropriate role of women in society (the show contains clear parallels to Malala Yousafzai, the young campaigner for girls' education in Pakistan who was shot in the head by the Taliban). To fight these nemeses, Jiya, the star of the show, employs a novel form of marshal arts that utilizes only books and pens. The message is clear: The pen is mightier than the sword.
But critics have latched on to the choice of the burka as a vessel to convey that message. Why is it, they ask, that this woman has to cover herself to make a difference? This is a debate that has been kicking around in the blogosphere for some time, but now the first episode of the Urdu-language show, which aired in late July on Pakistan's Geo TV, has arrived complete with English substitles. You can watch it here (if you need more of an incentive to watch to the end, the closing credits are great):
Ultimately, the show — in emphasizing the right of girls to an education — is doing something far more subversive with the burka than its critics contend. It's also important to note that Jiya is not covered by day, and only puts on the burka when she assumes her crime-fighting alter ego. That she does so in a burka while running atop power lines to a sweet theme song seems all the better. Suddenly the woman in the burka has been turned into something altogether different — a pretty great superhero.
After all, every hero needs a disguise.

* Brazil real consolidates within 1.95-2.0 per dollar range * Mexico peso outlook hinges on next week's rate decision * Brazil real drops 0.2 pct, Mexico peso dips 0.1 pct By Walter Brandimarte RIO DE JANEIRO, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Latin American currencies hovered around the unchanged mark on Thursday as hopes of continued stimulus from the U.S. Federal Reserve offset concerns about Italy's political stalemate and the U.S. economy. The Brazilian real traded around Wednesday's close during most of the session but posted some losses towards the end of the day to close 0.2 percent weaker at 1.9774 per dollar. It finished February with gains of 0.6 percent, though, as investors bet Brazilian policymakers want the currency to remain within a range of 1.95-2.0 per dollar, slightly stronger than it was in the final months of 2012, to help cheapen the cost of imported goods and fight inflation. Even as Brazil recorded dollar outflows of $2.8 billion in the month to Feb. 22, analysts say banks continue to hold large positions in the derivatives market betting on a stronger currency. "We estimate the local banks are short dollars onshore by $11.4 billion. This is close to the record $12.7 billion short reported back in Feb 2011," Flavia Cattan-Naslausky, Latin America currency strategist with RBS, wrote in a research note. "As long as there is a perception that inflation risks maintain a top in the dollar-real exchange rate, local banks should not hurry too much to cover this position." CAUTION Currency investors traded cautiously as they feared the economic consequences of Italy's political instability and before a series of automatic spending cuts come into effect in the United States, potentially hurting the global economy. Hopes that the U.S. Fed will hold on to its bond-buying program, providing a steady source of dollars that often find their way into higher-yielding emerging economies, cushioned the losses. In Mexico, uncertainty over whether the central bank will cut interest rates next week kept currency investors on edge. The Mexican peso barely moved during the session and last traded at 12.7825 per dollar, 0.1 percent weaker than Wednesday's close. In the previous session, the peso recovered part of the losses incurred this week after a central bank policymaker said he saw "no case" for an interest rate cut, a move that could reduce the appeal of Mexican assets. Bets on a possible interest rate cut in Mexico increased recently as the central bank warned it could loosen its monetary policy if inflation and growth continue to slow down.
