A European Union Price Policy Model for Southern Spain
Social accounting matrices (SAM) are databases that focus on the intersectoral relationships in a given economy that close the circular flow of income. This article deals with the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) in Andalusia, a Spanish region that European regional policy classifies in Objective 1. We apply the Leontief model to selected SAMs for the years 1990, 1995, and 1999, in order to develop a price model for assessing the impact of this funding on aggregate and sectoral prices.

She also holds the Hans Fischer Fellowship and visiting Professorship at Technical University of Munich. She runs a translational research programme that investigates hepatitis B and C viral pathogenesis with the aim of developing new therapies and improving outcome for patients with viral associated hepatocellular carcinoma. She has published over 150 research publications with a H-index of index 64 (SCI) and 15,200 citations. Qualifications PhD in virology, University College London, 1987 BSc in Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, 1982 Biography Early career In 1987 I joined Robin Weiss's laboratory at the Institute for Cancer Research to study HIV-1 entry into T cells and antibody neutralization. This work elucidated the role of CD4 in HIV infection (Science 1990), leading to the first clinical trial of soluble receptor mimics. In a series of significant papers we showed that different domains of the HIV encoded glycoprotein gp120 impact virus-receptor engagement and mediate escape from immune surveillance (Nature 1989; Nature 1990). I was awarded a Lister Fellowship in 1994 and the Fleming Medal from the Society of General Microbiology in 1995 for my work in this field. Mid career In 2000 I began working with Charles Rice at Rockefeller University. Our research led to a series of major advances in the field: (1) Discovery of factors that restrict HCV replication and identification of hepatoma cells that support efficient viral RNA replication, one of the key discoveries that made possible the development of effective anti-viral treatments for chronic hepatitis C (J. Virol 2002); (2) The now-classic description of infectious HCV pseudotypes (PNAS 2003) that have underpinned molecular studies to dissect liver tropism (Nature 2007; Nature 2009) and anti-HCV neutralizing antibodies for vaccine development (PNAS 2004); (3) the efficient propagation of HCV in vitro (Science 2005) and in vivo (PNAS 2006) that have significantly advanced the field. Professorial career I returned to the UK in 2006 to establish the Viral Hepatitis research group at the University of Birmingham, where I direct a multidisciplinary research group comprising clinician scientists, virologists and biochemists driving an integrated translational research programme. My research benefits from many national and international collaborators, reflected in my co-authored publications with many of the worlds leading viral immunology labs. Teaching TEACHING PROGRAMMES Medical Science BMedSc Postgraduate supervision The HCV group is actively involved in the supervision and mentoring of doctoral research (Ph.D.) students in the all areas of clinically relevant HCV disease.

For a full list of available Doctoral Research opportunities, please visit our Doctoral Research programme listings Research RESEARCH THEMES Viral hepatitis, virus entry and viral Oncology RESEARCH ACTIVITY Our research focuses on understanding the mechanism of hepatitis C virus (HCV) entry into the liver and how the virus persists to evade the innate and adaptive immune responses. Development of multi-cellular systems comprising hepatocytes and non-parenchymal liver cells have enabled us to uncover new pathways that regulate viral replication. We are exploring the impact of viral and bacterial co-infection on HCV pathogenesis and the role persistent HCV replication plays in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.

The spiritual side of fighting cancer
October 8, 2012
When local resident Edda Hunter was first diagnosed with cancer in 2006, she went to lots of support groups to deal with the challenges of her illness. But although she found the meetings helpful, they didn't meet her personal spiritual needs. So a year ago, Hunter founded and became director of Hope Bearers, a Christ Centered Support group for those facing the challenges of cancer or chronic illness.
Hunter, now a four-time survivor of cancer, has struggled with two more bouts of cancer in the past year, one of which was determined to be untreatable with conventional therapy. She felt that God led her to a clinical trial specifically designed to treat her type of cancer. Her first follow up CT scan since starting the trial has already shown improvement.
"The hardest part is to walk into a circle and say, 'I'm not healthy any longer' to perfect strangers," Hunter said. But though she started Hope Bearers to help others, she also has experienced the power of the support, encouragement and prayer.
"With the two new cancers, I was devastated. I'd tried everything in my power and felt like a failure. But the group gave me so much compassion, caring and comfort. I felt peace knowing I was on the right track," she said.
Sally Landsburg, assistant director of Hope Bearers, was diagnosed a year ago with a rare kind of cancer and given between three and 18 months to live. After several months of debilitating chemotherapy, her doctor suspended treatment because it was not getting results.
Yet at her most recent medical appointment, her doctor said the words that all cancer patients long to hear — he told her she was in remission. They were both thrilled. Landsburg said her doctor told her he doesn't get to prescribe miracles, but he does get to see one once-in-a-while.

Hope Bearers offers prayer, fellowship and encouragement to keep a strong faith in the midst of the challenges and difficulties of cancer and chronic illness.
"We believe that together we will grow in faith and strengthen one another, knowing that God is always present when we gather in his name," Landsburg said. "The prayer support in the group is awesome. We want people to come, be encouraged and loved."
Though the group is Christ centered, they welcome people of all denominations who are faced with health challenges. The meetings also have provisions for caretakers, family and friends. In addition, group members make themselves available by phone to pray or to make a home visit, if needed.
Each meeting begins with a prayer, then there is time for members to share their triumphs and their struggles. The group then prays together and closes the meeting in prayer. If someone needs extra help, they sometimes stay after to offer more support.
"I have great support—husband, family and church. But it is good to talk things over," Landsburg said. "I thought if I talked about what I've been through, it might be able to help someone else. But it has really helped me too. Our group is a place to share the goods and the bads, to share your fears and have someone listen and understand."
Hunter feels that she was divinely inspired to start the group and is committed to helping others with the challenges that chronic illness and cancer create in their lives.
"I know that there are people out there who need this, who are asking themselves, 'Where do I turn?'" Hunter said. "It's not about me or about us. It's about other folks. It's got to be about other people for it to be of service.
"I can say 'I'm really here for you because I know where you are and I will do everything in my power to help.' But it is really God's power that helps. It all started with him."
The group meets at 6 p.m. on the first and third Saturday of the month for about an hour at Foothill Church, 15874 Allison Ranch Road, Grass Valley, For information and directions, go to: http://www.foothillchurch.org/hope_bearers.cfm.

After the news spread that she was looking for coke during Super Bowl weekend, the 'The Hills' star lashed out at the tabloid that created the story.
Kristin Cavallari made tabloid headlines this week for being a crackhead but she refused to let it stay around for too long. She personally took it to her Twitter to deny the speculation and bash Us Weekly for spreading lies. "Get ur facts straight Us Weekly-ur article is complete BULLSH*T," she wrote a few hours after the article was published online.
Putting it as one of its front cover stories, Us reported Cavallari was asking for coke during Super Bowl weekend in Miami. "She was wasted the entire time," the publication quoted a source as saying . "She was going around to everyone, asking them to score her some coke." Her addiction was too obvious to be hidden that if MTV uses the footage of her "The Hills" friends talking about it, the public will take notice.
Cavallari's representative released a statement to E! Online, "She has no drug problem. Us Weekly is a tabloid; they are no better then the National Enquirer. Don't believe everything you read or hear."

Walsall secured a first away win since September thanks to Pedro Matias' 73rd minute winner at Valley Parade.
Chris Shuker and Vinny Samways got off to a winning start on their debuts for the Saddlers.
After a slow start to the game Shuker - on loan from Manchester City - and Samways, who has finally received international clearance from Spain, featured prominently in the second half.
Loan signing Carl Robinson gave Colin Lee's men the lead before substitute Danny Forrest restored parity after 62 minutes with a spectacular equaliser.
But Walsall battled gamely and Matias' first goal of the season means the Saddlers leapfrog Bradford in the Division One table to within touching distance of safety.
Bradford dominated the opening exchanges and the game burst into life just before the half-hour mark when the Bantams were denied a goal by goalkeeper James Walker's superb stop from Andy Gray.
After a disappointing first period, Walsall came out firing and it took just four minutes for them to take the lead courtesy of Robinson's second of the season.
Wrack burst down the left channel and lofted a precise delivery into the penalty area that was met by Robinson, who controlled well before side-footing the ball past Aidan Davison from close range.
The home side responded positively and deservedly equalised just after the hour mark.
Jamie Lawrence waltzed past two static Walsall defenders before unleashing a delightful ball into the box.
Forrest had his back to goal but somehow adjusted his body and connected with a stunning overhead kick into the top right-hand
corner of the net.
The Saddlers' responded with a swift counter-attack that unlocked Bradford's backline and Matias was on hand to grab what proved to be the winner.
Shuker found Matias unmarked at the far post with a wonderful ball that left the Spaniard an easy header to earn his side further breathing space away from the relegation zone.
Bradford: Davison, Uhlenbeek, Wetherall, Bower, Jacobs,
Francis, Jorgensen, Emanuel, Lawrence, Ward, Gray. Subs: Walsh,
Cadamarteri, Standing, Forrest, Ekoku.

Every week, we will seek out expert advice to help a small or medium-sized company overcome a key issue it is facing in its business
Since 2002, Ottawa-based La Siembra Co-operative Inc. has created one of the top-selling fair trade and organic chocolate bars in the country.
Its Camino line has been positioned as a premium product by the 13-employee company, which is owned by 10 co-op members, including chief executive officer Jennifer Williams.
For the first five years, Camino's sales were going gangbusters, rising at an average 40 per-cent clip year-over-year. But in the last five years, that growth has slowed and its share of the market has slid considerably.
Blame the advent of the Green & Black's line of fair trade and organic bars, promoted heavily after it was purchased in 2005 by Cadbury PLC, which was then bought out by Kraft Foods Inc. in 2010.
Those bars, Ms. Williams says, sell for an average of 50 cents apiece less than the Camino bars' selling price of $3.99 to $4.99 for a 100-gram bar. Over the years, other cheaper competing bars have entered the market, too.
Ms. Williams says she began to see Camino's share start to slip in 2007 from virtually all of the fair trade and organic market – a small portion of the overall market – to about 32 per cent currently. Between 2007 and 2011, the Camino line's revenue growth slid to an average 7 per cent a year.
Things took a turn upward last year after La Siembra updated Camino's packaging, helping to boost revenue growth by 26 per cent in 2011.
Still, even though the bars, sold in more than 3,000 outlets across Canada, from big grocery-store chains to specialty food retailers, are generating $2-million in annual revenues – the co-op's biggest seller among its fair trade and organic food products, representing about 30 per cent of overall business – Ms. Williams says her challenge is to get sales growth and market share back up to where they were before.
"Since [Green & Black's]came into the market, it's been really hard to grow our revenues," she says.
She says she can't compete on price: Costs have risen, squeezing margins to around 35 per cent from 50 per cent a few years ago. Besides, she speculates, if La Siembra dropped the Camino price, Kraft and other competitors might do the same.
Instead, she wants to focus on the premium product message, convincing consumers Camino's bars are still worth paying more for.
The Challenge: "We need to get people to understand why they should pay a premium price for a premium product."
Jim Menzies, Toronto-based partner with business advisory firm Grant Thornton LLP
She's right that they can't compete on price, so they need to take their differentiating factor, which is that they're fair trade, organic and a co-operative, and wrap their marketing around it. This whole notion of social responsibility is what's differentiating them. When people hear Camino, that social responsibility and caring for the environment should pop into their minds.
A good way to get that across is to come up with a tagline that reflects who they are and what their product is. It needs to be an easily understood statement that gets customers' attention. If people can see clearly how they're different — and, of course, the bar has to taste good — then they'll pay for that difference.
Marion MacKenzie, president of Toronto-based public relations firm GCI Group
They need to promote the luxury aspect. Like a latte, chocolate falls into that luxury category. To do that, they need to be in environments where the products have a halo effect. Where it's seen as cool. Get it into a Starbucks, art gallery gift shops or something like Fashion Week. They may not bring in particularly high volumes, but that creates the essence of being a premium product. So when people go back to larger grocery stores, the product is perceived differently when it's next to its peers.
I would also give the product to on-air personalities. Give it to people who are the seen and be seen. They should be seen consuming the product. At the same time, sell the message that they're also doing something good in the world. That will make people feel good about themselves when they're consuming the product.
Frank Sorichetti, owner and founder of Toronto-based Aquarian Leather Products Inc., a maker of high-end leather bags and accessories
She has to keep hammering home her message. It's the same with us. We've had to keep telling people that 'I know it's $50 more, but our quality is better, you've got to believe me.' I think she should push the fact that she imports chocolate from Switzerland. A Canadian company bringing in custom-made Swiss products, that could do well.
She also needs to be more exclusive. People don't want to buy something sold at Loblaw's. Her grocery-store market is big, so I'd continue to sell there, but maybe under a different label. She may just have to reduce her price to compete in the regular grocery stores, but she might make it up in volume. She can also make that up by charging more in the higher-end stores.
Create a tagline
Develop a statement that clearly describes what differentiates the brand.
Promote luxury
Push the luxury aspect, having it available at places that speak to the higher end and promoted as a luxury product.
Create two brands
Consider splitting up the line, creating a less expensive brand for lower-end stores, while keeping the Camino brand in higher-end outlets.

Rome (Sep. 22)
The marked reluctance of the Italian press to criticize the Nazi regime in Germany was broken today by the editor of La Stampa, who made a direct attack against the racial theories of the Nazis.
Signor Piazza, in his article which ridiculed the Nazi differentiation between race and nation, declares that a strong nation is not one that falls down in idolatrous adoration before its own image. The thought that a single clan of elects can carry out the historic task of the German nation the editor of La Stampa ridicules as a violation of realities.
In conclusion Signor Piazza expressed his scorn for Adolf Hitler, who instead of uniting the German people, had made membership in the ruling class a question of birth.

What is a Domestic Partnership?
Many people know that domestic partnerships are similar to marriage and can apply to unmarried couples who are living together. Most registered domestic partners tended to be in same-sex relationships prior to the Supreme Court's 2015 Obergefell v. Hodges decision, especially if they lived in a state that banned same-sex marriage. But it remains an option in a few states for partners (same- or opposite-sex) who live together and share a common domestic life. However, some states and cities that offer the arrangement require one of the individuals to be at least 62-years-old.
A domestic partnership is not identical to marriage, but it provides some of the same benefits. Some states refer to the institution as a "civil union," but the definitions vary from one city or state to the next. See FindLaw's Domestic Partners, Civil Unions, and Living Together sections for more information.
How to Register as Domestic Partners
Partners who want to register must declare that their relationship constitutes a serious relationship at a courthouse or other designated government office. For instance, District of Columbia residents seeking to register as domestic partners are required to appear in person at the D.C. Department of Health, submit a single application, and pay a fee. Also, they must provide documentation proving that they satisfy the registration requirements (such as being over the age of 18, unmarried, and sharing a permanent residence).
Domestic Partner Benefits
Domestic partners are entitled to some of the legal benefits of marriage, but not all. Some of the common benefits of domestic partnership include:
- Ability to get coverage on a family health insurance policy
- Right to family leave for a sick partner
- Right to bereavement leave
- Visitation rights in hospitals and jails
Domestic partner benefits vary, as you can see from the following examples:
- California: Domestic partners receive the same benefits and protections as married couples, although federal law does not recognize these unions (which means domestic partners may not collect Social Security benefits from deceased partners, for example).
- Maryland: Unmarried couples may enter into a designated beneficiary agreement, allowing limited rights (such as the right to visit each other in the hospital, share a room in a nursing home, and make funeral decisions).
- Ann Arbor, Michigan: This is limited to Ann Arbor City employees, who may extend employment benefits to their partners.
Wal-Mart and other employers have been sued by employees in same-sex marriages (and labor rights organizations) who were denied certain benefits prior to the Obergefell decision. In addition, many employers are discontinuing benefits for registered domestic partners (typically with a grace period) in light of the marriage equality ruling.
See State Laws: Domestic Partnerships for more specific information about the benefits of domestic partnership in your area.
Next Steps: Free Domestic Partnership Case Review
No matter if you are planning to enter into a domestic partnership or terminate one, knowing the laws of your state is important. Understanding legal matters such as benefits, rights, and responsibilities that go along with this legal union isn't easy. The laws are complicated and are subject to change rapidly. Get a free domestic partnership case review from a family law attorney to learn more about how the laws in your state can impact your life.

Mele Murals is a youth development, arts education, cultural preservation, and community-building project. Local artists, youth, and other members of communities spanning the eight major islands of Hawai`i create a series of large-scale outdoor murals focusing on Hawaiian lyrics (mele) that explore mo`olelo `aina (stories of place) and cultural and historical heritage.
Goals of Mele Murals
Our work honors the last commands of our King David Kalakaua, "Look to the keiki, teach them, groom them, show them wonder, and inspire them." Mele Murals affords a platform to teach young people to become storytellers, painters, and community leaders.
The program's goals are to:
• Create an all-islands public art project that is artistically excellent, deeply connected to the history of Hawai'i, and a source of pride.
• Build and sustain an Art in Public movement across the island chain.
• Beautify the islands with professional works of art.
• Develop arts-interested youth into visual storytellers by educating them on local history, showing them how to connect to ancestors, and developing their artistic skills.
• Provide opportunities for youth to explore Hawaiian oral storytelling tradition, to learn how to read kaona, and to preserve Hawaiian values
• Educate about Hawaii's cultural heritage.
• Teach public art techniques that are not taught in conventional arts classes.
• Increase cross-generation and cross-island engagement by creating new and exciting opportunities for all generations to learn and share mele and stories.
• Develop leadership, organizing, and public speaking skills.
• Enhance student creative and critical thinking skills through the mural arts process and support for arts educators and teaching artists.
• Increase social connection among youth artists by developing and supporting a network of youth mural clubs across the islands and connecting these clubs to area cultural workers.
• Use a broad set of media tools to share the stories of the mele with a broad, global audience, highlighting important artistic, cultural, and historical themes.
Each of the murals will follow a process that includes the following:
• Arts-interested youth, potential advisors, and organizations are identified and encouraged to participate.
• Teams of community leaders, artists, students, and musicians are assembled.
• Youth form a Halau Paheona (mural club) at their school or community center, and begin organizing their mural.
• Haumana (students) participate in online art assignments on edmodo.com.
• Students with support from the Estria Foundation team secure a permissioned wall and gather community support.
• Cultural practitioners ground and ask the land and ancestors what should be painted.
• Instructors from Papaku no Kameha'ikana teach the youth how to write and say an oli (chant) about the subject matter.
• An advisory group of Hawaiian music experts, and cultural practitioners help to pair lyrics to the subject matter.
• Workshops are held on the song's history, on how the mele relates to the place, and on the muralism process.
• Haumana ground and receive ideas for the mural.
• A sketch of the mural is developed by team of artists based on the workshop dialogue and incorporating some of the lyrics.
• The team grounds and asks if the sketch is pono (just, proper) before painting.
• The mural location and team are blessed by a kahu.
• The mural is painted by artists together with youth.
• The mural is unveiled at a community celebration.
• Youth muralists who have completed murals become Mele Murals docents and stewards, and mentors to future youth muralists.
• The entire process is documented through photography, film, social media, and published materials.
• Surveys are taken and reviewed to gauge program's success. Changes are incorporated to improve effectiveness.
• The completed Mele Murals series provides opportunities for ongoing education, cultural tourism, and community development.
In addition, TEF will provide annual Orientations and Conferences. Orientations are 2-day intensive trainings on how to do a mural and is offered to newly formed Halau Paheona. Conferences are 3-days culminating in a day-long youth team battle. Halau Paheona across all the islands will meet and network, and receive advanced training from leaders in the field. At this time convenings, panel discussions, art shows and other events are being considered as well.
Based on a Proven Model
Mele Murals builds upon the tradition of many public art, youth development, art education, and community development programs that have been successful around the U.S. and internationally, including The Estria Foundation's international Water Writes series focusing on critical water issues in 10 cities around the globe, and the Love Letter series in Philadelphia. However, an Art in Public project of this scope, with these goals and this number of partners, across islands separated by water, and incorporating ancient Hawaiian protocols is unprecedented.
Building Community
The Mele Murals workshop process builds lasting relationships by bringing together people whose paths might otherwise never have crossed and empowers voices that may not have been heard before. The project joins diverse community members and the finished mural celebrates their collective creative force. Neighborhood murals transform the visual landscape and remain a living part of the community long after the project is completed. The content of Mele Murals is a visual depiction of community input and dialogue from the workshops. Mele Murals participants become stewards of the artwork and what it represents. Youth participants develop skills in the artform through a safe opportunity for creativity and self-expression with an authentic audience, cultivating confidence as another generation of artists emerge across our island communities.
Murals and Hawaiian Music
Murals are transformative, instantly adding color, beauty, and life to public spaces. Muralism changes lives and strengthens the fabric of a community as people are enabled to explore their artistic voice and beautify their own neighborhoods. The muralism process also passes along local culture and tradition, and develops new leaders. When completed with community and historical content, murals become local monuments and a source of community pride.
Hawaiian music is honest. It celebrates connection to the land, chronicles traditions and stories, and binds Hawaii's people together with the past and the future. During the workshops Mele Murals explores the meaning and kaona (hidden meaning) of songs and chants in the context of past and present community issues. The murals shares these stories and stimulates dialogue among generations of Hawaii residents and visitors.
Local artists will lead and mentor the Halau Paheona. Mele Murals involves youth from local programs and schools, including Hawaiian-focused charter schools. Youth are involved in every step of the mural-making process, from securing a wall to collaborating on a design, to creating the mural and celebrating its completion.
Musicians, community leaders, and cultural practitioners meet with youth and share the importance and meaning of the songs and chants. A team of artists translates concepts generated in the workshop into a mural sketch.
Connection and Sharing
The communities will be connected online to share insight and guide each other through the community-building and creative processes. As youth become more proficient in muralism, they will teach their new recruits. Mele Murals will include events honoring and featuring the work of the Mele Murals communities.
'Oiwi TV will be filming every mural, and sharing these videos through their cable channel and website.
Acclaimed documenter, Tad Nakamura, will produce a feature length film. We will promote and share the mural-making process and stories in the murals with people around the world through film festivals and special screenings.
We are currently seeking partners to create children's books and an adult coffee table book.
Current Needs
We are seeking support in every form at this time. We need financial support, as well as introductions to art educators, high schools, youth organizations, cultural practitioners, and corporate sponsors on all the islands.

Sipadan Island
If you wish for an unforgettable holiday somewhere in a little natural heaven, where the breathtaking scenery surprises you every minute, then the Sipadan Island is the right place to go. This dream destination will take your mind off work, stress and problems during your vacation under the sun.
Pulau Sipadan, as locals call it, is not only a wonderful spot for a peaceful vacation, but also one of the most wanted places in the world for a great diving experience. Even more, the fabulous Sipadan hosts a stunning variety of animals and plants, including rare species of turtles and the outstanding coral reefs. Overall, this is virtually a natural paradise, where you will definitely have the time of your life.
Pulau Sipadan History
Discovered and fully valued by the famous Jacques-Yves Cousteau as an untouched piece of art, Pulau Sipadan is probably the best-known island in Malaysia. When talking about geophysical origins, you should probably know that Sipadan actually consists of corals, which makes it an atoll. These marine life forms have gathered in an amazing way, building an island. Another important aspect in the history of Sipadan is that the island is a natural sanctuary ever since 1933.
How to get to Sipadan Island
Getting to Sipadan requires preparation and bookings. After arriving to Malaysia, you will have to reach Kota Kinabalu and then fly to Tawau, where you can take a ride to Semporna. This will not be your last stop, since Semporna is where you will have to take the boat and get to your dream destination. If you want to spend time in Sipadan, make sure that everything is ready and waiting for you, since you have a long way ahead of yourself.
Sipadan Island Diving
There are many things that Sipadan is world renowned for, one of which is the extraordinary diving conditions that it offers. Apart from its 12 special diving spots, the island provides you with trained instructors and top quality equipment, everything you need in order to dive safely in the clear waters of the ocean. Even more, the spectacular view of underwater life will make Sipadan Island diving feel like the adventure of a lifetime.
Accommodation and resorts
Because it is such an important place for the marine flora and fauna, the authorities have decided to protect Sipadan by getting full time inhabitants out of the island. This is why you will not be able to lodge in Sipadan on your holiday, but you will surely find a nice resort on Mabul island or Kapalai island.
If you are looking for adventure, adrenaline and excitement, as well as stunning sceneries and the beauty of nature, Sipadan is the perfect place to go. This unique place in the Malaysian ocean waters will ensure you the right atmosphere to feel like you will never find a place as marvelous as the Sipadan Island.

A bigger than expected trade surplus and news that Australia's largest trading partner China is implementing new stimulus measures lifted shares higher.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index added 6.6 points, or 0.1 per cent, on Thursday to 5409.9, while the broader All Ordinaries Index also rose 0.1 per cent to 5415.7.
Local shares also had a strong lead from the United States where the S&P 500 closed at another record high.
Australian Bureau of Statistics data showed retail sales grew for the fourth month in a row, up 0.2 per cent seasonally adjusted in February, with household goods the strongest sub-sector. The result was a touch below consensus forecasts for a 0.3 per cent rise.
The softer than predicted result is nothing to worry about given it followed a 1.2 per cent spike in January, Barclays Australia chief economist Kieran Davies said.
"The wealth effect [from an extended period of low interest rates] is providing a further boost to spending. Although wages and employment are still weak, house prices continue to grow strongly, up 12 per cent over the past year, providing a major boost to household wealth and this is supporting spending," Mr Davies said.
Another ABS report showed the trade balance posted a surplus of $1.2 billion in February, well above median expectations for a surplus of $800 million, It was the third month in a row of surplus following a 22 month stretch of deficits.
Westpac senior economist Andrew Hanlan noted a lift in commodity export volumes offset a decline in commodity prices, which fell 0.7 per cent in US dollar terms.
"Yet another month of better than expected trade data is a sign that despite the wind-down in Australia's mining boom its legacy is translating into a new phase of resources production and exports," Credit Suisse Private Banking Australia chief investment strategistDavid McDonald said.
"While the Aussie dollar remains over-valued on a long term view a ramp up in resources exports, particularly in the iron ore and liquified natural gas sector, will should help support it around current levels for the remainder of 2014," Mr McDonald said.
Resources giant BHP Billiton rose 0.4 per cent to $37.53, amid speculation the company could be set to embark on a massive program of divesting non-core assets.
Junior miner Cassini Resources skyrocketed 366.7 per cent to 21¢ on the news it bought BHP Billiton's West Musgrave project for $10 million.
BHP's main rival Rio Tinto dipped 0.7 per cent to $63.68 while iron ore miner Fortescue Metals Group lost 1.3 per cent to $5.39 as the spot price for iron ore, landed in China, fell 2 per cent to $US115.30 a tonne.
China's State Council announced plans to spend more on railways, housing for low-income earners and provide tax relief for small business as part of a new stimulus package designed to ensure the government meets its 7.5 per cent annual growth target this year.
"Troubles in China's shadow banking sector and financial industry are cause for concern in the short term but it is important to remember that commodity demand is still likely to grow, just at a slower pace," Mr McDonald said.
The Markit/HSBC Services Purchasing Managers' Index increased to 51.9 in March from February's 51.0.
Consumer staples was the best-performing sector, up 0.7 per cent, led by a 7.4 per cent recovery in Goodman Fielder's stock to 51¢ as UBS analyst Craig Stafford upgraded his recommendation from neutral to buy due to a dramatic price change. The packaged food wholesaler bounced on Thursday after dumping 22.1 per cent of its market value on Wednesday after the company slashed its full-year profit guidance by $27 million.
Among the biggest supermarket operators Woolworths lifted 0.6 per cent to $35.89, while Wesfarmers, owner of Coles, added 0.8 per cent to $41.66.
- National Australia Bank lost 0.5 per cent to $35.37 following the unexpected announcement chief executive Cameron Clyne will retire in August to be replaced by NAB's head of New Zealand, Andrew Thorburn.
The rest of the big four banks were mixed. Commonwealth Bank of Australia added 0.1 per cent to $77.03, Westpac Banking Corporation fell 0.4 per cent to $34.47, and ANZ Banking Group rose 0.3 per cent to $33.21.
Telstra Corporation lifted 0.6 per cent to $5.09 despite reports regulatory delays could push back an expected move by the telecommunications giant to boost dividends. Telstra is waiting on approvals from Hong Kong's competition regulator over the proposed sale of its stake in Asian mobile service provider CSL, which is part of a $2.6 billion deal.
Childcare network G8 Education was the worst-performing stock in the ASX 200, down 4 per cent to 20¢. Analysts are in the process of re-rating the stock which has climbed in recent weeks following a major acquisition.
Information technology was the worst-performing sector, down 0.4 per cent, as IRESS dipped 1.7 per cent after Eva Dimensions analyst Andrew Zamfotis put a sell call on the financial markets software group.
An ABS report showed the trade balance posted a surplus of $1.2 billion in February, well above median expectations for a surplus of $800 million.

WITH the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow starting on 23 July, budding young athletes will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of their heroes when they run, jump and throw at Yeovil Athletics Arena for Summer 'Startrack' on Monday, July 28.
Startrack is a 3 day Athletics camp organised by South Somerset District Council and Yeovil Olympiads Athletics Club and offers young people aged between eight and 14 the opportunity to learn the basic skills of athletics in a safe, competitive and inclusive environment.
The four-time Olympic long distance athlete, Jo Pavey, who has been training at Yeovil Athletics Arena in preparation to compete at the Commonwealth Games, stressed the importance of young people getting involved in athletics events such as Startrack.
Jo said, "It's always good to see young people getting involved in grassroots sport and Startrack is a great way for young people to discover the exciting sport of Athletics. Participation in sport from a young age is incredibly beneficial and athletics has many disciplines so there is something for everyone. I'm sure that the participants will really enjoy their 3 days of coaching."
Jonathan Calderbank, Facilities Management and Development Officer at South Somerset District Council said, "Following the incredible performance of Team GB at the Olympics and Paralympics in 2012 and continuing success in the World Championships, interest in athletics is high. There are only a few places left on Summer Startrack, so book now.
"Our Monday night Junior Athletics Sessions are at capacity and Startrack promises to be both energetic and inspiring. Startrack is British Athletics flagship grassroots programme and aims to build upon the Olympic legacy by giving young people real athletics experience across the country."
Councillor Sylvia Seal, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture at South Somerset District Council says, "Activities such as Startrack channel the energy and enthusiasm of young people in a structured and positive environment.
"There can be no greater incentive to take part knowing that Startrack was the start of Jessica Ennis-Hill's passion for athletics. She started her incredible journey on her local Startrack scheme as a 10 year old before joining an athletics club. Knowing this should really help to inspire these young athletes. Participants will also be taking part on the same track as Team GB star Jo Pavey has been training on this year."

HOUSTON - A woman was shot to death early Tuesday morning at a northeast Houston sports bar.
The woman shot and killed at a northeast Houston sports bar has been identified as Monsserrat Ortiz, 25, according to the Harris County Medical Examiner.
Ortiz' mother worked at the bar and was one of several witnesses to the shooting early Tuesday morning at the Las Palmas Sports Bar.
It is unclear why the unidentified shooter targeted Ortiz. Police said some bar patrons reported there was an argument between the two shortly before the murder.
A family member, who asked not to be identified, said Ortiz did not know the man who killed her.
That point and several others are still under investigation by Houston Police department homicide detectives.
One witness said the gunman threatened him before leaving the bar.
"I saw the guy face to face. He put a gun to my chest. I thought of playing hero at first and something stopped me and i moved out of the way," the man said.
Security cameras outside the bar recorded the gunman getting into an SUV that looked like a Ford Explorer. The video showed the suspect ramming a couple of cars on the way out of the parking lot.
Police have not released any information regarding the suspect's name or description. He remained at large Tuesday afternoon.
Video cameras inside the bar, not immediately accessible to investigators, may shed new light on the moments leading up to the shooting, police said.
Local 2 Investigates found citizen complaints about Las Palmas Sports Bar in 2012 and 2013 regarding underage drinking, underage bartending, drug use, and after hours liquor sales did not result in fines or violations for the bar's owner after follow-up TABC investigations.

Shipe Named ECAC Libero of Week
Liberty senior Gabrielle Shipe was named the ECAC Division I Libero of the Week, today. This comes two days after she was tabbed the Big South Defensive Player of the Week.
Shipe, a native of Orlando, Fla., is the third player in program history to earn ECAC weekly honors. Lillie Happel was named ECAC Player of the Week on Sept. 13, 2012, while Jade Craycraft was voted Player of the Week on Oct. 10, 2013.
In the 75 years since its inception, the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) has emerged as the nation's largest conference. The ECAC has grown considerably from its charter membership of 58, currently boasting over 300 member schools in Divisions I, II and III, ranging in location from Maine to North Carolina.
Shipe averaged 4.50 digs per set and 0.45 aces per set during Liberty's 4-1 week. She was named to the Brown Invitational All-Tournament team, averaging 4.62 digs per set and 0.44 aces per set during four matches at Brown.
The senior libero opened the week with 16 digs and two aces at Georgetown. She then recorded her second 20-dig match of the season, collecting a match-high 21 digs versus Central Connecticut. Shipe totaled a match-high 19 digs to go with two aces, as Liberty downed tournament host Brown, 3-1. She led Liberty with 15 digs and a season-high three aces during a 3-1 victory over UMass-Lowell on Saturday, and paced all players with 19 digs when Liberty swept Fairfield to end the tournament.
For the season, Shipe leads the Lady Flames and ranks seventh in the Big South with 4.32 digs per set. She has also vaulted up the Liberty all-time digs list, reaching eighth overall with 1,382 career digs.
The Lady Flames (9-4) will travel to Nashville this week to compete at the Bruin Classic, hosted by Belmont on Friday and Saturday. Liberty opens the tournament with a 5 p.m. match against Northern Kentucky on Friday. The Lady Flames will then face Wright State and Belmont, Saturday.

Melbourne (ANI): If there's one man Zac Efron looks up to, then it's the World's Sexiest Man Hugh Jackman. The 'High School Musical' actor revealed he would love to hop the path treaded by Jackman who was a role model for him.
"I aspire to be where he's at some day - to have that drive. It gives me hope a little bit," News.com.au quoted him as saying. On being questioned if he would like to share the frame with the Australian, the 21-year-old replied: "Man I wish, can somebody write that? That could be a musical too. He could pull it off."
Efron went on to say how he was impressed and inspired by his senior actor with whom he shared the Oscar stage. He said: "When I heard I was going to be on stage with Hugh, I was shocked. I was like, ''I can't keep up with that guy. Not only is he a better singer and dancer, he's 6 foot three, or four. He's the tallest guy that I've ever seen be that coordinated."

Going from Bad Maintenance To Good Maintenance In 6 Steps
Maintenance is when you have moved from a negative or surplus calorie zone into a neutral zone. In other words, you aren't gaining or losing on any large or noticeable scale – you are at maintenance. Technically it isn't possible to always land at "zero" in the surplus/negative scale. Still, no noticeable budge in either direction within a few weeks span of time is a good indication of the fact that you are in maintenance.
The last sentence I wrote is extremely important to because there are a lot of people who feel they are working very hard towards their goals (fat loss or muscle gain) but are not seeing any change. For whatever reason (be it mistake in expenditure/intake or metabolic adaptation) this means you are at maintenance. This means you can't rationalize your efforts or lie to yourself about your results. This is one of the most important things you can read about your body composition and can save you a lot of heartache.
You Are Either In or You Are Out
I say this all the time to my clients, friends, and forum members. Don't f**k around. You are either in maintenance or you aren't. Playing these games with yourself only leads to you feeling like you live a life of dieting frustration. All you are really doing is lying to yourself and doing your mind and body harm.
If you really are "dieting" down the whole time, all you have done is cause a metabolic adaptation. You are just avoiding the inevitable refeed that needs to take place. If you just think you are dieting down, you are just making it harder on yourself and creating a mental frustration that leaves you jaded. The same is true for gaining muscle mass.
Don't Create Negative Cognitive Patterns
When you constantly tell yourself you are working towards a goal and you constantly "fail" at that goal, you create a negative cognitive pattern. What you are telling yourself, over and over again, is "I can't do this." What you are telling yourself is "I fail at this." The more you do this – the more you "try" and fail – the harder you make it on yourself. The mind believes very clearly when it can't do something, no matter how it got to believing it.
Think of when you tried to achieve a physical feat and failed. Take a simple game of Red Rover. The rules of the game are simple. A line of people with their arms connected are standing in front of you. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to run as hard as you can to the weakest link and bust through. "Red Rover, Red Rover send YOU on over!" Like a bolting car you run over with all your might towards the arms of your competition. You reach your destination only to be slammed on the ground by defeat of two tightly joined arms.
How do you react the next time you attempt to achieve it? How do you feel now that you have landed flat on your back towards the ground in vicious defeat? You are more cautious and less trusting of yourself. You may hesitate with the speed you run. You may believe because you failed to break through one set of arms, you will fail to do so again. Some people will rise to the challenge and others will quit the game. Be it Red Rover or a diet, the more it doesn't work out for you, the more you are trained to believe it will never work.
Retraining The Bad Pattern
Chances are you have already created the negative pattern in your mind. Chances are, you already don't believe in yourself or the fact that dieting can work. Don't worry, there is still plenty of time to retrain this pattern and the course of your thought process. To help, I have provided these simple steps to follow in order to achieve your goal.
Step 1 – Face The Harsh Truth
I don't care if you write a letter, leave a comment, start a log in the forums, call your mother, or shout it in the middle of the street. You need to be honest about everything. Your lies to yourself, your victories (small or large), and your justifying. Live in the reality of what you have created for yourself. No shame, no drama, just honesty.
Step 2 – Wipe The Slate Clean
Once you understand your past – leave it there. What is done is done. You need to wipe the slate clean and give yourself a ticket to ride towards a new life.
Step 3 – Set Up A Program For Yourself
It doesn't have to be fancy. It doesn't even have to be new. What it does need to be is realistic. Take into account the intensity of your goals and what you feel best serves your outlook. If you need any pre-made programs you can check out the Fat Loss Troubleshoot or the members for the Lean Being Programs.
Step 4 – Accept That Results Will Happen When you Do the Right Things
Leave it at that.
Step 5 – Constantly Set New Goals
One goal doesn't help anything. Ending goals means ending motivation for life. What is the point of living in this world if not to work towards something or to create better (whatever that means to you). Constantly set and challenge yourself to new goals be it in weight or the game of life.
Step 6 – Accept Maintenance For What It Is
No one is perfect because that would be boring. We are all changing, affected, human, and emotional. If you have an off day – so be it. Just acknowledge it for what it is. Sometimes maintenance is for a day and sometimes it is for months. Just see it for what it is. Enjoy your time off when you have it and be proud of the hard work you do. Acknowledge that not eating over and staying in the middle is a victory all own it's own.
Celebrate the victory of maintenance because in maintenance you truly learn to have control over your own life.
