The market has closed lower, with the benchmark S&P/ASX200 falling 19.1 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 5142.5. the broader All Ords slipped 18.1 points, or 0.4 per cent, to 5142.5.
Mining services company Worley Parsons has scored a contract to build a rail link between an African port and a coal mine owned by Brazilian resources giant, Vale.
The ASX-listed company will build a 584km-long rail line connecting Vale's coal mine in Mozambique with the Port of Nacala in the country's north-east.
When it is finished, the rail link will be able to transport 18 million tonnes of coal a year.
The Nacala Rail Corridor Project will be undertaken by WorleyParsons' Mozambique and South Africa divisions.
They will also complete the detailed design and maintenance of the facility at Nacala.
WorleyParsons shares were down 0.7 per cent at $21.94 in afternoon trade.
Rio Tinto's aspiration of producing 360 million tonnes of iron ore each year is achievable, despite concern about its Pilbara expansion, analysts say.
The mining giant has been showing analysts around its port, rail and mine operations in the north of Western Australia this week, and some believe Rio's cost cutting targets for its iron ore business are very conservative.
Rio has targeted a reduction of $US5 billion ($5.49 billion) in its overall operating cost cuts by the end of 2014.
It is also yet to decide on allocating a further $US5 billion on an iron ore expansion to achieve 360 million tonnes a year.
UBS analyst Glyn Lawcock believes the company will achieve that tonnage target after this week commissioning a stage of its expanded port, rail and mine operations that will increase output to 290 million tonnes a year.
That is up from expected production of 265 million tonnes in 2013.
China's former domestic security chief Zhou Yongkang, one of the country's most powerful politicians of the last decade, is helping authorities in a corruption probe and, contrary to media reports, is not currently the target of the investigation, sources told Reuters.
The investigation could take weeks, maybe months, to complete. Even if Zhou is implicated, he is unlikely to follow in the footsteps of disgraced ally Bo Xilai and face prosecution, said the sources, who have ties to the leadership or direct knowledge of the matter.
The scandal involving Bo, who is awaiting the verdict of a trial that concluded last week on charges of corruption and abuse of power, and the rumours surrounding Zhou are the most serious convulsions within the ruling Communist Party in decades. The probe Zhou is helping in has already reached deep into China's state-owned oil companies and several senior executives are being investigated for graft.
President Xi Jinping, who formally took power in March, has vowed strong action against corruption, but he may not yet be powerful enough to take on Zhou, who still wields political clout through proteges he had promoted into key positions.
BusinessDay's Michael Pascoe has been keenly watching the would be Treasurer Joe Hockey, and he's not impressed:
Remember all the times shadow treasurer Joe Hockey furrowed his brow, shook his jowls and growled that Australia had a budget crisis? Turns out he was only joking.
Either that or his "costings" disclosure is a joke. Or both.
After all the huffing and puffing, Hockeynomics is only proposing a $6 billion improvement in the budget's cash bottom line over four years. In light of the past four years of hyperbolic fiscal posturing, this is genuinely astounding.
Even if you take year three and four budget projections seriously (and you really can't, as everyone should now know), that works out to be an average improvement of $1.5 billion a year on a $400 billion budget – all of 0.375 per cent. It's not even a rounding error. A half-decent Queensland storm can blow that away in half an hour.
By way of comparison, Tony Abbott is blowing $1.8 billion on reviving the novated lease/FBT tax lurk enjoyed by a minority of new car buyers, let alone an even smaller minority of voters. Consider the massive percentage increase in the Coalition's budget improvement goal that could be obtained by implementing just this one tax policy based on principle and equity instead of subsidising a few salary packaging firms. Hey Joe, do the math.
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey says a Coalition Government will make some $40 billion of savings, if it wins the federal election.
Mr Hockey and coalition finance spokesman Andrew Robb on Thursday announced another $9 billion tranche of savings, on top of the $31.6 billion worth announced last week.
They also announced $33 billion of proposed expenditure and said the budget bottom line would be improved by $6 billion under a coalition government.
''Only the coalition will live within its means and get Australia back on the path of strong economic growth,'' they said in a statement.
Gold advanced after the biggest drop in a month after the Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted to authorize President Barack Obama to conduct a limited US military operation against Syria, boosting haven demand.
Bullion for immediate delivery gained as much as 0.3 per cent to $US1,395.07 an ounce, and was at $US1,393.49. Prices retreated 1.5 per cent yesterday, the most since August 6. Gold for December delivery rose 0.3 per cent to $US1,393.80 an ounce on the Comex in New York.
The committee's vote is a first step toward congressional endorsement of military action, and clears the way for the full Senate to consider the resolution. The US is weighing an attack in retaliation for Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons against civilians. Bullion declined 17 per cent this year amid speculation that the Federal Reserve will curb stimulus.
''It's given the market a bit more clarity that the US will vote to take some military action,'' said David Lennox, a resource analyst at Fat Prophets in Sydney. The haven attraction ''will never leave gold,'' he said.
Hong Kong's flagship carrier, Cathay Pacific Airways, said today it has filed objections to the Air Transport Licensing Authority against giving approval to Jetstar Hong Kong Airways Limited to operate air services out of the city.
Cathay said the approval of Jetstar's application, which has not yet been granted, would violate the territory's Basic Law and undermine Hong Kong's economy.
Now that most of the global PMI figures have come in, we can see where we rank, and it doesn't look too pretty.
Australia's manufacturing activity ranks among the lowest in the world, after the Australian Industry Group's (Ai Group) Performance of Manufacturing Index marked its 26th consecutive month of contraction in August.
In fact, we're worse off than Greece, with its PMI rising to a 44-month high at 48.7, compared with our's sitting at 46.4.
The good news is our rate of decline is slowing, with the index rising 4.4 points on July's figure.
Ai Group chief executive Innes Willox says manufacturers are getting a mixed reaction to the falling Australian dollar.
- The fall in the value of the Australian dollar is beginning to be felt, with some businesses reporting improved competitiveness against imports.
- However, exports continue to struggle, while the lower dollar is also pushing up average costs for non-labour inputs, many of which are imported.
Activity rose in only three of the eight manufacturing sub-sectors, with food beverage and tobacco products recording the strongest reading.
The petroleum, coal, chemical and rubber subsector expanded, while printing and recorded materials also had a gain.
Metal products continues to be the weakest sector.
Australia's manufacturing activity ranks among the lowest in the world, with our PMI marking its 26th consecutive month of contraction in August.
Share markets around the region are mostly higher:
- Japan (Nikkei): flat
- Hong Kong: +1.2%
- Shanghai: -0.1%
- Taiwan: +0.9%
- Korea: +1%
- India: +2.4%
- Singapore: +1.1%
- New Zealand: -0.2%
Another reaction to Newcrest's review of its market disclosure: Australian Investor Relations Association chief executive Ian Matheson says Maurice Newman's report contains some valuable insights into how the industry has been affected by widespread job cuts.
Dr Newman said it was becoming more difficult for companies to keep analysts abreast of developments, because there were increasingly fewer of them.
Matheson said AIRA would consider Dr Newman's recommendations as it continued updating its "best practice guidelines" for the investor relations industry.
"The recommendations support our view that investor relations is a business critical function that needs to be adequately resourced and staffed by professionally trained executives who are also tapped into senior management and the board," he said.
"Appropriate investor relations practices and controls are essential to good governance but also for the integrity of the Australian capital markets and to ensure a level playing field for access to information by all stakeholders."
The dollar's rise this week has inspired some bold predictions, with ANZ currency strategist Andrew Salter seeing the currency heading up to 95 US cents and beyond:
- We are starting to tell our clients from 92 through to 95 is which you should start positioning for longer-term depreciation in the currency.
- There is quite a high degree of short-positioning in the market, so the market is expecting the currency to go down when the information we have been getting is telling us it should go higher. That is challenging those short positions and a lot of investors are stopping out of them and in the process pushing the currency higher.
- There's still some volatility expected and it's hard to be precise about currency targets because of global economic data and unpredictable events. But all that being said, the fundamentals for the world economy are slightly improving. That's a positive.
- China's growth is appearing to base . . . and the short positioning in the currency is going to be impetus to get [the Aussie] up.
The July trade data may have been disappointing, but the outlook is brighter as shipments of iron ore to China remain strong.
Iron ore exports to China from Port Hedland, which handles about a fifth of the global seaborne market for the steel-making raw material, rose 9 per cent in August from July.
Ore shipments of 22.3 million tonnes, the second highest on record, were up a hefty 33 per cent on August last year and not far from all-time highs hit in May.
Since the figures are released just a few days after the end of the month, they offer a timely leading indicator of demand in China.
Iron ore is Australia's single biggest export earner, bringing in around $60 billion in a good year. The strength of shipments increases the chance that Australia will again report a trade surplus for August, and also add to economic growth.
Chinese regulators should strengthen policy coordination to ward off potential financial risks, some of which stem from high debt levels in some sectors, Hu Xiaolian, a vice central bank governor, said today.
Concerted efforts are needed to rein in risks in China's banking sector, as well as capital and insurance markets, Hu told a financial forum in Beijing.
Separately, Jiang Yang, a vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), pledged to speed up preparatory work for launching crude oil futures.
Apple has invited Chinese journalists to an event in Beijing on September 11, a company spokeswoman said, just hours after it is widely expected to unveil its newest iPhone models in the United States.
The event will mark the first time that the company has held near-simultaneous briefings in the United States and in China, the world's biggest mobile phone market where Apple has been losing its star power to rivals like Samsung.
"Apple has hosted satellite events in London and Tokyo in the past," Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu. "It will be a broadcast of what happened in California."
Wu declined to give details on what would be announced.
News of the Beijing event fuelled speculation that Apple may announce a long-awaited deal with China Mobile, which is the world's biggest mobile phone company by customers and the only major Chinese carrier that does not have an agreement with the US tech giant.

And here's a bit more on why the trade balance plunged into deficit, courtesy of ANZ:
- The $765 million deficit was driven by a sharp rise in import values, particularly 'fuels & lubricants', in part due to higher oil prices.
- The previous three month's trade surpluses have been revised lower by a cumulative AUD1bn, mostly due to upward revisions to capital imports. This was flagged in both the merchandise imports and Balance of Payments releases.
- The value of exports rose 0.2% m/m in July, with the volatile non-monetary gold component declining a sharp 18.9% m/m.
- The value of resources exports (excluding the volatile non-monetary gold category) were 1.8% m/m higher in July.
- The value of metals, ores and minerals (three-quarters of which is iron ore) were 0.9% m/m higher, broadly in line with our expectations. The value of coal exports also rose a solid 2.8% m/m.
Australia's trade balance
Some Twitter reactions to the weak trade data:
Non-monetary gold the main catalyst behind the weak trade data. Exports -$941m, imports +$401m. Without we'd have had a surplus #ausbiz
— David Scutt (@David_Scutt) September 5, 2013
Of the $22.338b of exports in July - China accounted for 34.7% (+0.4%), Japan 18.9%, Korea 5.2%, US 3.6% (+14.1%), India 2.8% (down 19.7%)
— Chris Weston (@ChrisWeston_IG) September 5, 2013
J-Curve showing up? Trade deficit $765m - well wide of estimates of $100m surplus. Solid rise in value of imports...
— Stephen Koukoulas (@TheKouk) September 5, 2013
The ASX is close to the day's lows, down 0.7 per cent, after the weak July trade data accelerated selling.
Traders say investors have also turned cautious ahead of Saturday's election and US employment data out on Friday.
"Politics is at the forefront of most traders' mind today. We are expecting volumes to be reasonably light over the next couple of days," says James McGlew, executive director of corporate stockbroking at Argonaut in Perth. "We certainly haven't gathered the momentum that we saw with US stocks."
IG market strategist Stan Shamu in Melbourne says that investors are taking profit after the recent good run and in wait-and-see mode ahead.
Here's a broker's reaction to Newcrest's review of its disclosure practice, which found no clear evidence of wrong-doing.
Shaw Stockbroking analyst Vincent Pisani says Maurice Newman's report is clearly hampered by a lack of access to important people and important information:
- There were more caveats at the beginning of that report than I have ever seen, but I guess he could only work to the degree that he was allowed to work, and you can't get into other people's emails outside the firm unfortunately.
- So his investigation was obviously fairly restricted, and restricted by a lot of the compliance officers at the bigger brokers that would normally keep quiet until they finish their own investigation.
But Pisani says Newman has too much respect within the investment community for his report to be dismissed entirely, even if it was commissioned by Newcrest:
- He would have done everything in a super-above board way.
- I think it was conducted properly and I think he has done a good job with the availability of the information that he was able to act with.
Some more from the bond market: investors are flocking to Kangaroo notes issued by AAA borrowers from Frankfurt to Washington, pushing relative funding costs to the lowest in two years.
Foreign entities with the same top rating as the Aussie sovereign last month issued $1.98 billion of securities, the most since May, as the paper's higher yields were favoured by money managers including Pimco.
Issuance of notes with longer tenors was led by Landwirtschaftliche Rentenbank and International Finance even as demand at government auctions of 2024 and 2029 bonds was the lowest for federal Australian securities since 2011.
"In order to enhance yield, investors prefer Kangaroo issuance to government bonds," said Akira Takei, head of the international fixed-income department at Mizuho Asset Management. "Foreign issuers rushed into the Australian bond market."
The average yield on Australian-dollar bonds from supranational, sovereign-backed and provincial issuers last month dropped to 58 basis points above federal debt, a level unseen since July 2011, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch indexes.
Australia's trade balance has dived into the red, posting a deficit of $765 million, a big turnaround from a surplus of $243 million in June.
Analysts had expected a surplus of $100 million in June.
The dollar has come under pressure on the back of the disappointing trade numbers, falling about a quarter of a cent to 91.63 US cents, or near the day's lows.
Another bad month for bond king Bill Gross: his Pimco Total Return Fund, the world's largest bond fund, had $7.7 billion in net cash outflows in August alone.
The fund has now lost $US41 billion of its assets in the past four months through withdrawals and price losses, according to data from Morningstar. Its assets have shrunk by 14 per cent to $US251 billion at the end of August from $US292 billion at the end of April.
Investors have pulled cash out of bond funds this year as rising interest rates have made fixed-income securities vulnerable to price losses.
Gross and his co-chief investment officer at Pimco, Mohamed El-Erian, are watched closely because they have made money by anticipating big moves in the economy and interest rates way before other investors.

Moody's has downgraded the credit ratings on subordinated debt issued by Australia's big banks, amid signs regulators are toughening their stance on any future bank bail-outs.
After launching a review in June, the credit agency today cut by two notches the big banks' ratings on subordinated debt, which ranks after other types of debt if a company fails.
The decision affects subordinated debt issued by banks including the Commonwealth Bank, Westpac, ANZ, NAB and Macquarie. It does not affect the banks' overall credit ratings.
Airlines are looking a bit shaky today after the sell-off overnight in Europe on the back of Ryanair's profit warning.
Qantas is down 2.4 per cent and Air New Zealand has lost 3.4 per cent. Virgin is bucking the trend, up 1.2 per cent after the ACCC gave its OK to Air New Zealand raising its stake in Virgin to 26 per cent, from 23 per cent.
All eyes in Canberra today will be on the Coalition's policy costings, or rather lack of.
It's looking like the Coalition has not submitted its climate change, broadband and asylum seeker policies for independent costing ahead of the final release of figures before the election.
Shadow treasurer Joe Hockey will reveal the Coalition's election costings later today, leaving voters just hours to digest the numbers while also refusing to say when the budget would return to surplus. The precise time that he will make the announcement has not been released.
Follow the debate on our Election Live blog.

Investors appear to be betting on the Reserve Bank taking its foot off the easing pedal.
The Aussie has rallied more than 2 US cents since Tuesday when the RBA kept interest rates on hold and made no reference of a possible rate cut in the months ahead.
The Australian dollar strengthened further when the quarterly GDP figures came in slightly higher than market expectations (0.6 per cent compared with 0.5 per cent) on Wednesday.
The dollar is currently fetching 91.59 US cents, after strengthening further in overnight trade where it hit a high of 91.87 US cents.
''Obviously supporting the Aussie has been an unwinding of those rate cut expectations,'' Westpac currency strategist Sean Callow says. ''As of now, it (expectations) has really come down; 12 basis points, so half a cut effectively is priced in by March. A week to 10 days ago that was more like 26 basis points. So there is definitely a very tangible rise in Australian yields and far less confidence that the RBA is going to cut again, not at Westpac, in the Market,'' Callow says adding he believes that the RBA will cut again in November, citing a sluggish economy.
Here's an overview of the ASX200's main winners and losers this morning:
Winners and losers this morning.
A review of Newcrest Mining's market disclosure practices has found no clear evidence of wrong-doing, and instead accused analysts from big investment banks of being slow to adjust to changing market conditions.
The review by Maurice Newman was commissioned by Newcrest in the wake of the market disclosure crisis surrounding its now infamous June 7 corporate restructure.
Numerous investment banks downgraded Newcrest shares in the days prior to the pessimistic June 7 restructure, prompting accusations that Newcrest had selectively briefed certain big shareholders before the rest of the market.
But Newman today reported that he could find no "smoking gun" piece of evidence that proved malpractice at Newcrest.
Newcrest shares are flat at $13.39.
The stock market has opened flat to slightly lower. The benchmark S&P/ASX200 index is down 3.4 points, or 0.06 per cent, to 5158.2, while the broader All Ords slipped 2.4 points, or 0.04 per cent, to 5154.1.
Among the sectors, materials are down 0.6 per cent, while financials are flat.
Some more airline news: the competition regulator will allow Air New Zealand to increase its stake in Virgin Australia to 26 per cent, which will let it cement its position as the largest shareholder.
The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission today ruled that it will not oppose Air New Zealand following through with plans to complete the purchase of another 6 per cent in Virgin.
Air New Zealand raised its stake in Virgin by 3 per cent to 23 per cent in June, and signalled its intention to buy another 3 per cent. But it needed regulatory clearance to complete the acquisition.
Middle Eastern airline Etihad also raised is stake in Virgin from 10.5 per cent to 12.3 per cent this week. It has approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board to build a stake of as much as 19.9 per cent.
Trade data for July is released at 11.30am. Expectations are for the trade balance to have shifted into a small surplus of around $100 million.
The monthly merchandise imports release suggests that goods imports increased by around 5 per cent m/m in July, ANZ economics says:
- This, and the preliminary Balance of Payments release, also pointed to upward revisions to goods imports in previous months, implying that June's trade surplus will likely be revised smaller.
- The rise in imports in July was driven by fuels and lubricants, in part due to higher oil prices. We estimate that exports values rose slightly in July.
A bigger slump in the deficit could affect the dollar, which is currently buying 91.71 US cents, still buoyed by yesterday's better than expected GDP data.
Ryanair has issued a shock profit warning that the Irish no-frills carrier blames on intense competition and falling airfares, sparking a share price plunge across Europe's airlines sector.
The airline overnight said the group's annual net profits could miss forecasts, pushing the value of its stock market value down by almost 15 per cent at one point.
Shares in Ryanair's main rival, British low-cost carrier Easyjet, as well as in Germany's Lufthansa and Air France-KLM all retreated in the wake of the Irish airline's warning.
Ryanair ''certainly did take the market by surprise'', says Stephen Furlong, transport sector analyst with Davy Stockbrokers. ''We've never had a statement like this at this time of the year from Ryanair.''
The Washington Post's new owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, long wary of journalists, held a series of meetings with the paper's editors and reporters overnight, saying that he is optimistic about the future of journalism and wants to create a "daily ritual bundle" that would appeal to a variety of readers.
Mr Bezos, who has agreed to purchase The Post for $US250 million, said he plans to invest in the paper and rejected the idea that news organisations could cut their way to profitability or stability, or attract advertisers without adding readers.
Asked how he would define success, he replied: growth. Continuing to contract by cutting the staff would lead to extinction, he said, "or, at best, irrelevancy." He told a group of reporters and editors Wednesday morning that "making money isn't enough. It also has to be growing."
"What has been happening over the last few years can't continue to happen," Mr Bezos said.
"All businesses need to be young forever. If your customer base ages with you, you're Woolworth's," added Mr Bezos, who created the world's leading online retailer. "The number one rule has to be: Don't be boring."
The Australian stock market looks set to open higher following Wall Street's jump after strong US car sales pointed to strength in the manufacturing sector.
What you need to know this morning:
- SPI futures are up 15 points at 5171
- The dollar is buying 91.67 US cents
- On Wall Street, the S&P500 rose 0.8%
- In London, the FTSE100 inched up 0.1%
- In Frankfurt, the Dax gained 0.2%
- US crude oil fell $US1.31 to $US107.23 a barrel
- Spot gold dropped 1.5% to $US1391 an ounce
- Iron ore lost 0.5% to $US138 a tonne
For more on how the main offshore markets performed overnight, read this morning's need2know.
Macquarie Group is exiting its real estate and leveraged-finance investment-banking businesses in Canada, Bloomberg reports quoting a person with direct knowledge of the change.
Macquarie Capital Markets Canada cut "a very small number" of jobs today in areas that aren't considered essential, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information hasn't been made public.
The firm is focusing on oil-and-gas, resources, infrastructure and related equity capital markets in the country, the person said.

Forums >Technical Support>Garmin USB question?
When I plug in my Garmin 210 I keep getting a message that reads "USB device not recognized". I had the 205 and never had this problem. I got the 210 for xmass and this is now going on. I just want to know if it's the device or the user (me) that is the issue. Any help or point in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
First thing I'd do is run the Garmin WebUpdater (from Garmin's site) to verify that the Garmin software on the PC or Mac are all current and working. Then use the Garmin Communicator Test (from Garmin's site) to test the communication with the device.
When you get it all sorted out, and the test page reports good, then RA will find the device.
Here is Garmin's page on troubleshooting the USB error message you're getting.
Once we rode together in a metal firecracker
Thanks so much MilkTruck! Everything worked great. Really appreciate the help.

Liuixalus Li, Che, Bain, Zhao, and Zhang, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 48: 311. Type species: Philautus romeri Smith, 1953, by original designation.
None noted.
Chep Lap Kok, Lamma, Lantau, and Po Toi islands, Hong Kong, China to northern Vietnam.
Li, Che, Bain, Zhao, and Zhang, 2008, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 48: 302-312, suggested that this taxon is the sister of all rhacophorids, excluding Buergeria, as did Yu, Rao, Yang, and Zhang, 2008, Zool. J. Linn. Soc., 153: 733-749; Yu, Rao, Zhang, and Yang, 2009, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 50: 571-579; and Li, Che, Murphy, Zhao, Zhao, Rao, and Zhang, 2009, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 53: 509-522. Pyron and Wiens, 2011, Mol. Phylogenet. Evol., 61: 543-583, confirmed the monophyly of Liuixalus and its placement as the sister taxon of remaining rhacophorines, but by using an antiquated taxonomy they obscured this result. Hertwig, Das, Schweizer, Brown, and Haas, 2012, Zool. Scripta, 41: 29-46, also confirmed the placement of Liuixalus as the sister taxon of remaining rhacophorines and provided a tree of the species. These authors also placed Philautus albopunctatus as a member of Liuixalus, but did not document the change. See comment under Theloderma asperum.

Hands of Time by cogdogblog on Flickr.
@dailyshoot 2010/12/02: Make a photo today that features a hand in a creative way. #ds382 Mom really hates what time has done to her hands, 80+ years does take its toll. I can allways remember her hands as being skinny and with prominent veins, which she always said was all the work she did. The hands age, the pages turn, but the ring stays the same.

Different Halves of the Same Thing
April 26, 2012
Take a pair of twins. Look at them – matching brown hair, brown eyes, freckles across the nose. Matching birthmarks on the elbow, except one wears it on the left and the other carries it as a mirror image. The eldest (by six minutes) is slightly tanned, but she's just been on holiday. They're identical in almost every way, except one: their personality.
Take the same pair of twins. Look at them again – the brown hair is the same shade, but one sister wears hers long, whilst the other one keeps hers religiously styled in a harsh bob. The freckles? One covers them up every day with make-up. The eldest (by six minutes) has just come back from volunteering in Borneo, which explains the tan. Her sister would rather spend the weekend in a boutique hotel in Edinburgh.
Actually, they're not identical at all. Some of the differences, like the haircut, are purely environmental. The more interesting and challenging question is why one twin chose the harsh bob whilst the other stuck to the more natural look. One explanation may lie in transposable elements, tiny pieces of DNA which can change their relative position within the human genome.
If we consider the genome to be like an extremely long Word document, the transposable element can either be a 'copy and paste' or a 'cut and paste'. As with the Word document, this function can either create a masterpiece or reduce what has been written to unintelligible nonsense.
Previously, transposable elements had almost exclusively been considered junk DNA, DNA without purpose. The transposable element had one aim, which was to cause havoc within the cell, to reduce our document to nonsense by inserting this junk disruptively in the middle of a sentence. This idea was supported by the fact that porphyria (think the Madness of King George), immunodeficiency and predisposition to cancer have all been linked to transposable elements.
More recent research, however, suggests that there may be a more positive developmental role for the transposable element. These roving pieces of 'junk' could insert themselves into the cells of the body, including the brain. If this happens outside the germ line, then the changes in DNA architecture will not be transmitted into the next generation. If the changes occur after the original fertilized cell has split, then two individuals who started out exactly the same may end up being different.
Developmentally, these two twins started with identical stem cells. These stem cells contain all the genetic information needed to create a full human being, and at this stage, the information tells the same story. In the womb, however, some of these stem cells started to develop into neuronal progenitor cells; cells which have started the path to becoming important parts of the brain. During this development, the DNA found within the cell starts behaving differently, with genes that lead to neuronal proteins being switched on, and those that are more appropriate for a muscle being turned off.
During this genetic rearrangement, it is possible for transposable elements to move around. This has the ability to change the genetics of the individual, even just slightly. Muotri and colleagues at the University of Sao Paolo, term this development a 'genetic mosaic signature', implying that each stamp is different in each individual. The team also recognise that this information has a huge potential to change the way that we view the genome, as previously science had viewed genetic information as static.
Although research into the transposable element may have redefined certain areas of genetics, it remains to be seen how much this type of DNA may actually affect us in daily life. The team at the University of Sao Paolo suggest that these elements could affect anything from cognition to health, and may present us with a way of determining why some identical twins can be so different. This could be particularly informative in twins who have relatively similar environments, as non-genetic environment is also important in the development of personal differences.
Take another look at our twins. They seem so similar on the surface, but they really are very different. Although no-one knows quite why, transposable elements could be key in determining their cognitive differences. They might even explain our own.
Brief Hiatus

Sorry if you were enjoying my posts before I disappeared off the planet! I'm currently attempting to revise for my exams. When I get started, I will incorporate that into my blog posts so you should see some nice interesting blogs about miRNA and heart disease, I promise.
I hope everyone is well.
I was watching a film with the honourable Mr. Justin Timberlake in yesterday, and I realised something. I really do not find him attractive. Sure, I never have, but before I just chalked it up to him being handsome in a generic way; just "not my type". This time I really didn't find him attractive, and I actually kind of thought he looked kinda foetal. So why do I feel this way?

It's something we've all seen before: someone gets rejected in the dating game and they automatically reach for the bottle. Little did science know that this reactionary measure is common to a number of species, including the humble fruit fly. Maybe human coping mechanisms aren't so human after all.

Part of the NCAA's core mission is to provide student-athletes with a competitive environment that is safe and ensures fair play. While each school is responsible for the welfare of its student-athletes, the NCAA provides leadership by establishing safety guidelines, playing rules, equipment standards, drug testing procedures and research into the cause of injuries to assist decision making.
The Committee on Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sports serves to provide expertise and leadership to the NCAA in order to provide a healthy and safe environment for student-athletes through research, education, collaboration and policy development. The committee is made up of 20 members who serve four-year terms, each of which comes from medical, administrative, legal, coaching or student-athlete backgrounds. View the current roster here.
Being active in hot and humid conditions poses special concerns. Heat stress and resulting heat illness is a concern in these conditions. Although deaths from heat illness are rare, exertional heat stroke is the third-leading cause of on-the-field sudden death in athletes. Intense exercise, hot and humid weather and dehydration can seriously compromise athlete performance and increase the risk of exertional heat injury. The risk of sudden death is highest when athletes begin any new practice period, especially within the first few days. And sport injuries can be three times higher during the preseason than in the regular-season practice periods. Conditioning sessions are also a higher risk activity than the normal sport drills and skills sessions. Constant surveillance and education are necessary to prevent heat-related problems.

Another vintage style dress using the Elisalex bodice but this time I did some major pattern adjustments to make a much better fit. It 'nearly wasn't' because I initially thought the fabric was rubbish so I thought I was making a toile, never to be worn. But it turned out much better than I anticipated and now has pride of place in the wardrobe!

nice, and congrats
hmmmmm, another CIA, FBI or other LEO operative right?
I had thought long and hard if I wanted to post this picture online or not.
I do not believe in posting pictures of my weapons online and I have never posted a picture of any large game I have taken online before.
Call me strange but I do not want a bunch of strangers knowing my business.
That being said I dont take part in any social websites or any non-sense like that. I live my life off this trap called the internet but I do enjoy this site so I wanted to add to it instead of just taking from it (in taking I mean looking at everyone else's awesome pictures).

Congrats...what's all that fuzzy stuff on the antlers? Hahahahaha
Posted 24 September 2012 - 04:33 PM
He is an old buck. Really old. My guess is at least 10 yrs old.
His ear has a couple tag holes in them and he was castrated(he had no balls). Thats why im assuming he still had velvet. He was a confused buck and probably never any off spring and why he never got bigger than a fork n horn. He actually had extra points growing behind his eye gaurds but they never sprouted. If he had never been castrated this buck would have been HUGE.
Im assuming because of all the fires in the area he had just moved into that canyon. His chest was completely devoid of hair from him laying on rocks most his life.
I had scouted the area before archery season and during archery season and never seen him. This is sad to say but I used the stupidy of other hunters to get him. I watched a couple hunters walk into a canyon and waited on the other side for something to run up.
For new hunters reading this. Please....please, if you find an area with a lot of deer sign try not to ruin the area with your scent. I spent time in the pre-season scouting the area and knew of most the deer in the area but come opening day of rifle season all the rookie hunters ruined the area. Some of the idiots pitched tents right in the deer's nature funnel area. I was completely amazed at some of these people but there was nothing I could do but keep on keep'in on. I got lucky with this one but am happy with him.

Concerning the photo... I am the same way. I don't like photos of myself plastered all over the web. I'm not on Facebook or any other place like that. I am only a member of a few airgun forums and this hunting forum and that's the way I like it. If I get any hogs or bobcats this year and I get a photo of me taken with it I'll have the same type of smile face on me too.
By the way, I'll take your advice (and I'm smart enough to know better anyway) and I won't track my scent through prime deer areas and ruin it for everyone. You did good though by using the other hunter's mistakes to your advantage. Nice job.

Melissa Joan Hart, the girl-next-door child star, is revealing her secret wild side in an explosive new tell-all – From drug-fueled nights on the town to steamy affairs with co-stars, the 37-year-old actress has a lot of dirt to dish in her new book, Melissa Explains It All, on shelves Oct. 29—but first she's spilling all in the new issue of Life & Style, on newsstands now.
"I experimented with weed, Ecstasy, mushrooms and mescaline for about a year and a half," Melissa admits to the magazine. One of her crazier adventures involved taking Ecstasy at the Playboy Mansion in 1999, making out with a girl in the limo ride home — and then heading to a Maxim photo shoot while still high! "That was my third or fourth time on Ecstasy," she reveals.

Foot Health Podcast
Last week on my way into the Foot Solutions I was listening to a talk show, which turned out to be a radio show with a focus on Men's health. Local here in the Atlanta area, I called and talked to the host later that day suggesting he consider doing a segment on feet – the foundation of our bodies. A week later he called me and asked if I would be a guest on his show to discuss the importance of foot care, fitness and answering common foot-related questions. A few controversial questions came up during the podcast regarding shoes vs. going barefoot, and the hot topic of 'toning shoes'.
Before shoes existed, our ancestors walked the earth barefoot. Keep in mind that pavement and concrete sidewalks didn't exist either. Walking barefoot on natural, uneven terrain supports the arch, unlike flat roads and sidewalks.
So many things happen to our feet as we age- it's important to take proper care of the foundation of our bodies! Similar to our eyes, our feet age. Most aging adults will need some type of corrective glasses…feet are no different in the fact that feet need support so they can continue to work properly.
Did you Know?
- 3x your body weight is forced on your feet with every step

This week's 'On the Streets' is not just another hefty review of Art Basel Week, but a surprisingly balanced overview of some of the most inspirational, moving and vibrant works from around the globe. Leading off is D*Face with his newest mural in Shibuya district, Tokyo. A tribute to Roy Lichtenstein's iconic 'Girl with Ribbon', (now hung in Tokyo's National Gallery), the piece is a crafty fusion of pop and subversive imagery. Take a closer look below to a truly mighty wall! Other outstanding works come from Jimmy C and Jonesy in London, Escif in Valencia and Faith47, Miss Van, Reka One and RONE, highlighting this week's creative activities in Wynwood, Miami.

On December 1st 2010, the snowstorm came in with a vengence. My family and I made it home from Annunciation School in Elma as we passed 2 accidents with 2 SUVs in a ditch on Clinton Street. Most likely they were too confident. Now we are snowed in on December 2nd. At 7pm 12/02 I measured 24inches.

text: Home Culture A Rapper's Blueprint to Megastardom With a book and a Western, Common is next in a line of emcees who sought success beyond the mic. By: Genetta M. Adams Posted: Oct. 31 2011 1:12 PM 0 Getty Images Like many rappers, Common has a lot of irons in the fire. He's been promoting his new memoir, One Day It'll All Make Sense, which recently landed on the New York Times best-seller list. He's set to star as a freed slave in AMC's new Western drama, Hell on Wheels, which begins Nov. 6. He's putting the finishing touches on his latest album, The Dreamer, The Believer, which hits stores Nov. 22. The Chicago native joins a long list of hip-hop artists who have branched out into other areas of entertainment -- including TV, movies, books and fashion. It's become common, so to speak, to see rappers on screens both big and small. But artists such as Queen Latifah and Ice Cube are extending hip-hop's reach behind the scenes with productions deals for movies and TV shows that create roles for African-American actors. Some artists, like 50 Cent, are even turning enterprise into philanthropy. And one artist -- Shawn Corey Carter, aka Jay-Z -- is taking hip-hop further into the upper reaches of business and politics. During hip-hop's Jurassic period (late '80s to the mid-'90s), artists would catch heat if they weren't "keepin' it real" -- staying true to the 'hood. Corporate America had yet to tap the aura of cool that came with hip-hop's blessing. Those days have long been gone, replaced by the hustler's ethos to make money by any means necessary. And the "means" these days include TV shows, clothing lines, movie deals and even -- in the cases of Jay-Z and Will Smith -- ownership of sports franchises. Success is no longer being measured only by record sales, cars and jewels; now it's being measured by return on investment in diversified portfolios, too. Hip-hop, more than most genres, is subject to the vagaries of youth -- the music industry is always on the hunt for the "new hotness" that will attract the fickle teenage market, especially as record sales continue to slide. So it makes sense for rap artists to pursuit other endeavors to stay in the limelight. Early on, Def Jam co-founder Russell Simmons embraced the idea of expanding hip-hop's reach into fashion and TV. But Will Smith was one of the first performers to cross over into other areas of pop culture when, in 1990, he parlayed his Fresh Prince persona into a wildly popular TV series, which led to roles in blockbuster films such as Independence Day, Men in Black and Bad Boys. The transition to TV and films was a smart move for Smith since hip-hop was developing a harder, grittier edge -- the opposite of the fun-loving, party music he and DJ partner Jazzy Jeff were churning out. Earning Oscar nods for his performances in Ali and The Pursuit of Happyness proved the rapper from Philly could do more than just talk the talk. Now he and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, are raising the next generation of stars. Daughter Willow is finishing a debut album after releasing a few buzz-worthy singles, and son Jayden starred in the highly successful reboot of The Karate Kid. Smith paved the way for Latifah, who branched out from rapping to reign over both TV (Living Single) and the big screen (Set It Off and Chicago, which earned her an Oscar nomination). Now Latifah is finding success as an executive producer for two TV shows -- BET's Let's Stay Together and VH1's Single Ladies. Latifah knows none of it would have been possible without hip-hop. "I'm proud of everything I do, but I think I'm the most happy about becoming a rapper. It was my entrance into everything," she told Parade.com. "That helped me get into acting. That's a tough business for anyone to crack into, but having some marquee value already as a hip-hop artist helped me get into acting." Page 1 of 2 NEXT PAGE > Powered by Livefyre

COMMERCE - Los Altos High School was so close to advancing to its second CIF-Southern Section girls water polo championship game since 2010 it could taste it.
But the outcome of games are not determined by halftime.
The Conquerors learned that the hard way Wednesday.
Grace Shade scored on a loft shot with two minutes remaining and goalie Jessica Harris had 19 saves, including a key stop in the final 20 seconds, as Troy rallied from a four-goal deficit to score a 7-6 victory over Los Altos in a Division 4 semifinal at the Brenda Villa Aquatic Center.
The Warriors, getting two goals from Allison Lany, improved to 24-8 and advanced to face La Serna, a 10-9 winner over Bonita, in Saturday's championship game. The time will be determined today.
Stephanie Contreras scored two goals for the Conquerors, who finished 22-9.
"They took the momentum right out of us," Los Altos coach Chris Coleman said. "We stopped playing. We played like we were trying to protect a lead rather than get a win."
Troy, which trailed 5-1 in the second quarter and 6-2 at halftime, took advantage and cut the deficit to 6-4 after three quarters following goals by Lany at 1:37 and Shannon Grossman with 55 seconds left in the quarter.
Minna Mattis and Alicia Tully had back-to-back tallies early in the fourth to tie it at 6-6.
Los Altos, which outshot Troy, 31-29, was frustrated by Harris, who had 10 saves in the final quarter. She stopped Contreras on a breakaway with 3:10 left, then blocked another Contreras attempt from the side with 1:27 remaining.
"Their goalie won the game for them, no doubt," Coleman said. "Their goalie was their best player.
"We had two breakaways, we just couldn't put it away."
Los Altos had one last chance, but Erica Venegas' shot with 15 seconds left was blocked by Harris before Troy ran out the clock.
"Their goalie game up big," Coleman said. "She blocked that shot, too."

1. Man vs Wild
The only thing I like to do more than watch Man vs. Wild is talk about Man vs. Wild, especially if I'm drunk. When I bring up Man vs. Wild, someone will inevitably say "It's fake, there are youtube clips that prove that Bear exaggerates how much danger he is in."
I guess I just don't really care. He thought to squeeze an elephant turd into his mouth for the fluid, a trick he learned "from an old ranger."
He weaved a rope out of willow branches to try to corral a wild horse to ride to safety. I'm a fan, I just like his style.

This is the sturdy decorative wrought iron frame that safely displays Christmas stockings in front of a fireplace. Unlike hooks that perch precariously atop a mantel and require nails, tacks, or other adhesives, the powder-coated 1/2"-diameter frame includes five S-hooks that support up to 22 lbs., ideal for fully laden stockings. The base has two Y-shaped feet that prevent tipping, placing the decorative crossbar bearing a reindeer-driven sleigh 35" off the hearth or floor, high enough for most fireplaces. The five hooks may be positioned anywhere along the crossbar (and may be removed to match the needed stockings). Minor assembly. 38 1/2" H x 35 1/2" W x 13" D. (1 1/2 lbs.)

Appearance is deep copper that's clear and clean.Well displayed head that settled slowly.A nice hop aroma with a presence of fruits,malt,nuts and a bit of spruce.I was expecting more of theses same flavors in the taste, but it turned out to be a little underpowered.Mouthfeel is a bit on the watery side as well.All in all, a nice, tame seasonal that's worth a try.

It has a good level of foam and lacing and it offers a nose of citrus, pine, and malty toffee. Moving to the taste, Winterhook impresses even more. This winter warmer has a flavor similar to what the nose leads you to expect, but with greater intensity. It does have flavors of citrus, pine, and toffee, but I can also detect other flavors like bread, earthy hops, and even a touch of chocolate, tea, and herbs. The complexity is greater than expected and the beer remains reasonably smooth. Winterhook reinvented itself this year as Winterhook #29 and this seasonal brew is among the better ones I have tasted in the series. You don't get the nutmeg/cinnamon and other spices like you commonly taste in the typical winter seasonal. This is a more straight- forward beer without the holiday additives. I like it more and more with each passing sip and I think it is safe to say that most guests at your next holiday party will feel the same. Give it sampling and enjoy the taste of the season, courtesy of Redhook.

Part of a haul of Christmas themed ales I picked up for the season. Unique bottle design, to say the least. Poured into a nonic. Dark chestnut ruby in colour, with a quarter inch of light foam that recedes into a thick ring. Nose is still fairly malt-forward, but there is a nice earthy grassy hop presence coming through as well. Solid winter warmer that is malty enough to fall within that heavier brewing category, but has enough pale ale elements to be quite drinkable. Malty, bit of chocolate, earthy hops, light taste of pine, bit of fruit and spice, grassiness. Mild booziness to it. Tasty enough brew - it isn't the big winter warmer I was expecting, but it is certainly a tasty ale with a good hop presence.

S - The aroma starts off non existent, disappointing, so you must let it warm for the grassy, spicy hops to arise. A grain back bone, like an English or A P A. T - Pale Ale flavor, very well balanced between hops and malt. Great finish. Great food beer. Hops start the parade, with flowers, grass, fruit, bright flavors, followed by a nice long malty core, not sweet, and a tingly long finish. I really liked the flavor. If you pale ale, you'll like. M - Very crisp, good weight. Refreshing, but hearty . D - I could enjoy more than one! Good beer, must try, there are better winter warmers: Widmer, Sierra. As one reviewer wrote - let it come to cellar temp to appreciate its spicy complexity and tease out more aroma. True of all these winter focused beers! One of Red Hook's best?

The hostel was very nice, however, this one man working at the front desk was very creepy. One of the nights that I was checking in back to my room, he made me very uncomfortable by asking me for a hug and when I went back to my room, he was knocking on my door for 5 minutes!! I felt very uncomfortable and checked out immediately the next morning. I was very unpleased with this experience :/

Back in business
Weare Center Store is back in business after fire
On July 23, 2012, a three-alarm blaze tore through an addition to the Center Store, destroying that part of the building and causing the roof to collapse.
Luckily, Ali Rustam said, the store he has owned with his brother Mohammad Nowaz for two-and-a-half years was insured.
"It was hard to see the store destroyed," said Rustam. "But it is better than before. People are very happy we are open. The neighborhood is very happy."
But a new staircase leading from the parking lot to the store, saving people from having to walk around the building to the front entrance, has received a lot of praise from returning locals.
The cause of the fire was never determined, according to the state Fire Marshal's office, however it did not appear that the fire was suspicious in nature.
