Well you have to give RBA governor Glenn Stevens credit (no pun intended). He is no Alan Greenspan. He got on the idiot box yesterday and told anyone who would listen that speculating on house prices is crazy. Specifically he said that, "I think it is a mistake to assume that a riskless, easy guaranteed way to prosperity is just to be leveraged up into property. It isn't going to be that easy."
There are two reasons why it's not going to be easy, although we don't speak for the governor. The first is that he pretty clearly telegraphed his intention to raise interest rates to what the RBA considers more "normal" levels. "We can't assume rates will remain low," he told Seven. "The relationship between the cash rate and what they pay for mortgages or small business loans is what we think is useful."
Useful for what? For predicting where mortgage rates are headed. And that would be higher if the relationship between the cash rate and mortgage rates persists. "If you look back when the economy was stable and we had low inflation, the cash rate, that is the rate we decide on, the rate has been in the average of 5 per cent."
So if Stevens thinks the economy is pretty normal now with low inflation, then you'd expect the cash rate to rise from 4% now to at least 5% by the end of the year, beginning as soon as April 6th when the RBA meets again to rig the price of money (we mistakenly said they meet today in yesterday's edition.) In February, Stevens said there was a good chance rates were headed up in the first half of this year.
When the man who sets interest rates tells you that you're rising, it would be wise to at least hear him out. Whether you take him at his word is up to you. But if you're making financial plans – say, like you're going to buy a house and are trying to figure out if you can stand a few extra points rise in the interest rate – the man has told you what is going to happen.
Of course there is the chance, mentioned last week, that bank interest rates have decoupled from the cash rate. This was the possibility raised by NAB execs when they said Australia's dependence on wholesale borrowing from overseas meant that the foreign cost of capital would determine the local cost of capital, not the RBA's price for money. We'll see about that.
In the meantime, Stevens has also said the RBA is watching whether or not "the role of foreign purchases [in the Australian housing market] is an important one." We'd submit that it is. This is the second reason it won't be "easy" for Australians to get risklessly rich in leveraged property investments. They'll be outbid!
It's obvious now that the Rudd government has opened the Australian property market wide open to overseas investors in order to keep the housing market bubbling along. The stamp-rich gorging state governments have not objected. The end result is a huge spike in prices that locks out Australians hoping to enter the market at the bottom end of the property ladder.
Some people might call this the government selling-out the interests of its citizens in order to prevent the bubble from popping on their watch. In fact, we just muttered that aloud to ourselves. And we're not even Australian. But as an American, we've seen these desperate attempts to keep the good times rolling before. It always costs the little guy the most.
To be fair, there isn't much data yet on how much of last year's national price surge was fuelled by foreign buying. And let's face it. By "foreign," most of the media accounts mean Chinese. And you know, from a Chinese perspective, buying real Australian houses with money not subject to Australian interest rates is probably a great investment.
But whether it's such a good thing for Australians depends on who you ask. If you're a Baby Boomer with 3.6 investment properties that you're counting on to fund your comfortable retirement, the influx of cashed-up foreign buyers is just what the doctor ordered. If you're a first home buyer…well…you're going to need a bigger grant…or be willing to live in an outer suburb…or rent for the rest of your life.
Can you see now that we have the confluence of two bubbles? The first is Australia's fevered national pastime of speculating on property. It's all good as long as it's making someone – property spruikers or investors – rich. But what if it makes the Chinese rich? And what if the Chinese investment in Australian property is itself a product of China's massive lending bubble?
As always, all bubbles come back to excessive credit growth. You have to prune away at the flowers these bubbles are decorated with. They make it look pretty, desirable, and natural. But beware!
In a great article we read over the weekend by GMO's Edward Chancellor we found this quotation from 19th century economist John Mills: "Panics do not destroy capital; they merely reveal the extent to which it has previously been destroyed by its betrayal in hopelessly unproductive works."
Has Australia over-invested in higher house prices at the expense of other national investment and productive possibilities? Let us know what you think at firstname.lastname@example.com
And if you think we're making up the idea that China has exported its property bubble to Australia, well, that's alright. Free thinking is encouraged here at the Markets and Money. But according to today's Wall Street Journal, "China's banking regulator banned new property loans to 78 companies owned by the central government in an effort to control risks in property credit and curb asset bubbles, which pose a threat to the country's strong economic recovery."
Urban property prices rose 11% in February compared to the same time last year. In fact, there's a way of seeing the performance of the entire commodity sector – and by extension Australian resource stocks – as a function of China's retreat from the U.S. T-bill market and into tangible asset markets like copper, iron ore, coal, and high-rise flats in Melbourne.
We're taking these concerns and questions to a meeting in an hour with Diggers and Drillers editor Alex Cowie. Alex sent us a note yesterday that one of his gold stock recommendations has nearly doubled. But he hinted that there are some decisions he's made regarding the rest of his recommendations. He'll share those with D&D readers when he's made them. But tomorrow, I'll let you know what he thinks about the big picture and the China risks highlighted above.
Until then…

Daily Summary on USD, Euro, GBP, JPY, CAD, AUD and NZD
USD - The dollar is stronger against nearly all of its major counterparts this morning as resurgent concerns over the health of the global economy spurs on a flight to safety. With no major data to persuade investors otherwise, demand remains strong for the dollar on the general outperformance of the US economy and on its continued status as the default global reserve currency. However, the USD's upside potential remains limited by lingering expectations that the Fed may be closer to a third round of quantitative easing than many expect. Last week's rather disappointing nonfarm payrolls report suggested that the above trend employment numbers throughout Q1 reflected an unseasonably warm winter with the numbers now appearing to normalize. While the economy continues to add jobs, a period of protracted growth in Europe and a slowdown in emerging markets could further dim the outlook for the US labor market. As such, investors will look to this Friday's PPI and next Monday's CPI reports for the most recent read on inflation. If prices appear to be in check, expectations will likely rise that the Fed may consider further monetary easing.
EUR - The euro weakened for the seventh straight day against the USD on concerns that Greece will not be able to form a new government. Elections in several Eurozone nations left the political balance in the lurch with France electing the first Socialist president in three decades and no clear majority chosen in Greece. Along with a recent dissolution of government in The Netherlands, the change in political tide is serving as a referendum on the outgoing policymakers' austerity measures in favor of pro-spending, pro-growth policies. Austerity's primary advocate, German Chancellor Merkel, has rejected government stimulus as the path to recovery, setting up a clash with French president-elect Francois Hollande's pro-growth platform. Meanwhile, with both the New Democracy and Pasok parties suffering heavy losses in Greece, a left coalition government could nationalize banks, repeal labor reforms and renegotiate the EU/IMF bailout requirements. With rumors again on the rise that Greece may exit or be forced out of the Eurozone, the common currency has become increasingly vulnerable to further depreciation. However, losses have been slow as investors struggle to find a viable alternative.
GBP - Sterling is mixed this morning, falling against the USD while gaining against the EUR. The pound slipped against the dollar after a report released overnight showed that a gauge of British house prices fell to -19 from -11 in the previous reading. However, losses have been slowed by increased demand for British government bonds as the heightened political and economic tensions on the European mainland spur investors to seek the relative safety of British assets.
JPY - The yen gained against all of its major counterparts overnight on heightened risk aversion. With Japanese officials remaining uncharacteristically quiet, despite the yen's break below 80.0 against the USD, the safe-haven JPY has posted strong gains. The biggest moves have come against higher-yielding currencies such as the ZAR, AUD and MXN.
Commodity Currencies - The high-yielding group of commodity currencies has come under increased pressure overnight with key levels of support now being tested. Raw goods are sharply lower with oil extending its recent declines to $95/bbl, gold falling to $1597 and copper tumbling 3% to $365/lb. The CAD weakened back towards parity with the USD this morning on the falling price of oil, Canada's main export. The loonie fell along with the AUD and NZD, both of which fell below key support at 1.01 and 0.79 respectively. Losses due to general risk aversion were compounded by the most recent reading of the Australian trade balance, which showed that the nations deficit more than doubled since the last reading at -1.57B AUD. With demand for Australian exports clearly lagging, investors have increased bets that the RBA will cut interest rates further in the coming months to backstop the slowing economy. However, it was the ZAR and MXN that suffered the greatest losses overnight as emerging market commodity exporters will be hardest hit by a drop in demand from Europe. As the primary destination for South African exports, any dip in European demand will weigh heavily on the ZAR. However, relatively high interest rates will continue to attract investors once the current wave of risk aversion subsides.

We read with interest the point/counterpoint debate by Drs Corcoran, Rahman, Colice, and Idell in CHEST (January 2014)1-4 regarding thrombolytics in parapneumonic effusions (PPEs)/empyemas. We have treated > 400 patients with PPEs and empyemas with intrapleural tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), and only four patients with chronic empyema needed decortication. We published two articles; one was a randomized placebo-controlled double-blinded crossover trial that was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration and ClinicalTrials.gov.1,2,5,6 We agree with Drs Colice and Idell regarding the optimum tPA dose, and our pilot determined that 25 to 50 mg of tPA was necessary for viscous purulent effusions.3-6 We do not agree that the risk of bleeding is high, and studies have shown that systemic effects of thrombolytics are negligible.3-7 Most cases that reported significant bleeding complications did not perform coagulation studies, or patients were on therapeutic anticoagulation. Platelet function assay (PFA) is the most useful coagulation test, and if within normal limits or mildly elevated the risk of significant bleeding is < 1%. We recommend that the international normalized ratio and partial thromboplastin time be below 4 and 50, respectively. Failure to respond to these viscous effusions may also be related to chest tube size.5,6
We agree with Drs Colice and Idell that the major flaw in the first Multicenter Intrapleural Sepsis Trial (MIST1) and subsequent MIST2 trial is using chest radiographs to document response to thrombolytic therapy.3,4 Chest radiographs cannot differentiate fluid, consolidated lung, pleural thickening, pulmonary infiltrates, or a mass.6 The primary end point in the MIST2 trial was pleural opacity changes on chest radiographs and not surgery. If referral to surgery was the primary end point there would be no significant difference between tPA alone and tPA/deoxyribonuclease (three of 48 vs two of 48). Therapy with deoxyribonuclease appears to have little or no thrombolytic activity, as this group had more surgical referrals than placebo (18 of 46 vs eight of 51).8 Several authors have shown tPA to be effective as a single agent in parapneumonic effusions and empyemas in adults and children.5,6
Critically ill patients who are high surgical risks respond well with minimal complications when treated with tPA instillation, yet we do not give the same option to young and stable patients. We recommend that patients with PPE/empyema be treated initially with intrapleural tPA if PFA and coagulation studies are acceptable (Fig 1). Delaying surgery for 2 days would not be detrimental but could prevent morbidity and mortality associated with surgery and general anesthesia.

Would the following procedural errors result in an incorrectly high or low calculated percent NaOCl in commercial bleach solution?
A student failed to allow the volumetric pipet to drain completely when transferring the diluted bleaching solution to the Erlenmeyer flask. I get incorrectly low.
A student blew the last drops of solution from the pipet into the volumetric flask when transferring commercial bleaching solution to the flask. I get no effect.
A student began a titration with an air bubble in the buret tip. The bubble came out of the tip after 5 mL of Na2S2O3 solution had been released. I get incorrectly high.
Are these correct because this kind of question confuses me. Thank you!

Ex-ambassadors urge US, Russia to mend rift
Credit: The Associated Press
MOSCOW — The U.S. and Russia should overcome their cold spell by focusing on their common economic and security challenges, former diplomats to Moscow and Washington said Tuesday.
The ex-ambassadors, who gathered in Moscow to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the restoration of diplomatic ties, said the strains have been driven by emotions and misperceptions rather than fundamental differences.
They strongly urged the Kremlin and the White House to move past mutual grievances and deal with common threats.

Fire Watch (edition 1998)
by Connie Willis
Work details
Fire Watch by Connie Willis
No current Talk conversations about this book.
I remember reading "Fire Watch" when it first came out in a magazine I took. I remember the power within the story. It still has the same power. The rest of the stories were new to me. From "Samaritan" written in 1978 to "All My Darling Daughters" written in 1985, the stories all bore the hallmarks of the author: a clarity of view, beautifully used language, and well-told stories that make the reader think.
A couple of the stories were deeply disturbing. That doesn't mean I didn't like them, but the story made me itchy inside my skin. Most were serious, but a couple were downright funny. "Mail Order Clone" made me laugh out loud; "Blued Moon" felt like it would make a lovely madcap comedy movie.
I'm a fan of Connie Willis, so it shouldn't be a surprise that I loved the collection. If you like science fiction short stories, I think you'd like it, too. In some ways the writing reminds me of Ray Bradbury -- the skill with which the scene is set comes to mind. The style isn't as lyrical, but is perfect for the stories told.
Short stories. Loved one, liked some, indifferent about others, really hated two.
An excellent anthology of short stories from one of my very favorite authors. Some of them I'd read before, some were new to me, but all of them were excellent.
* "Fire Watch"
* "All My Darling Daughters"
* "The Sidon in the Mirror"
* "Samaritan"
* "Service for the Burial of the Dead"
* "Mail Order Clone"
* "Daisy, in the Sun"
* "A Letter from the Clearys"
* "And Come from Miles Around"
* "Blued Moon"
* "Lost and Found"
* "The Father of the Bride"
A collection of short stories, most of which were from the early eighties, by Connie Willis. These were quick reads and I did enjoy them for the most part. They covered ideas from time-travel to ghosts and some had religious overtones. There was only one that I really disliked (All My Darling Daughters) but if I hadn't already read and liked To Say Nothing of the Dog I might have put her other books at the bottom of my list of authors to read more of soon. Probably not the place to start with Willis.
• Fire Watch. 1982
• Service for the Burial of the Dead. 1982
• Lost and Found. 1982
• The Father of the Bride. 1982
• All My Darling Daughters
• A Letter from the Clearys. 1982
• And Come From Miles Around. 1979
• The Sidon in the Mirror. 1983
• Daisy, in the Sun. 1979
• Mail-Order Clone. 1982
• Samaritan. 1979
• Blued Moon. 1984

Wikipedia in English (1)
Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0553260456, Mass Market Paperback)Fire Watch collects 12 stories from one of science fiction's most decorated authors. Although the stories are thematically unrelated, an undercurrent of mortality weights many of the tales with a powerful sense of humanity's frailties. Two of the best pieces are "A Letter from the Clearys" and "The Sidon in the Mirror," both of which show people reacting to death in characteristically odd (and disappointingly human) ways. Fans of Willis's time-travel books, The Doomsday Book and To Say Nothing of the Dog, will be delighted to find that the title story tells of another hapless Oxford history student sent back to World War II Britain to learn a hard lesson. Just when the book threatens to leave you morose and depressed, Willis reveals her wonderfully absurdist side in "Mail Order Clone" and "Blued Moon." Willis is a master of the novel, but her short stories are superb reading as well. This is a nice collection for a fan's library and a great introduction for those unfamiliar with her work. --Therese Littleton

Where's Evil Doctor's JPG of a rotary when we need it?
I can't believe anybody's still following this tack. My full analysis was somewhere in June when the Hocking and Pollack reports showed up on the COG website; that wasn't in a megathread (though I referred to it at least a few times after that, as in the post linked by CF).
Here's the jist of it. If you disagree with it you might as well disagree with everything that's ever been taught in a business school.
Scenario 1: arena sits empty all year
Revenues 0
Event costs 0
Fixed costs 4 million
Total operating costs = 0 + 4 = 4 million
Net loss = 4 million
Scenario 2: arena regularly holds events
Revenues 15 million
Event costs 10 million
Fixed costs 4 million
Total operating costs = 10 + 4 = 14 million
Net profit = 1 million
The actual numbers don't matter. The point is that the Hocking study (and especially those relaying it, such as Joyce "Beavis" Clark) is implicitly arguing that the AMF should cover total operating costs. That's only correct if the arena
also keeps the operating revenue, but the arena
always kept the operating revenue in any proposed lease.
In other words, Joyce "Beavis" Clark is currently suggesting the following for the arena manager:
Revenues 15 million
Event costs 10 million
Fixed costs 4 million
AMF 14 million
Total net operating costs = 10 + 4 - 14 = 0
Net profit = 15 million
Looks good to me..

Several major retailers made a splash in the news this year with their plans to kick off the Holiday shopping season early – by opening for business on Thanksgiving Day. Many of the pundits reacted by insisting that retailers like Wal-Mart, Target, Best Buy, JCPenney and Macy's are "stealing" Thanksgiving by opening as early as 6 p.m. However, we've got evidence that the idea of Thanksgiving – at least as a sacred 12-hour stretch of family, carbs and football – is waning among key consumer groups.
This initiative on the part of retailers can be seen in one light as just one more facet of the changing cultural landscape. Thanksgiving was historically a combination of religious feelings (giving thanks), extended family gatherings; and major multicourse meals. As a society, we've become more secular, our family size has shrunk, and we are much more likely to be eating our meals on the fly. All of these forces of social change diminish the fit of the Thanksgiving holiday with the way that we live today.
To find out more about how people actually feel about Thanksgiving in general as well as their reactions to retailers' new plans to open their doors on the holiday, we conducted research and found some surprising results.
First, our findings suggests that Americans do feel differently about Thanksgiving, compared to years past. We found a significant decrease in the number of people who expect to feel a sense of nurturance and connection to others over the holiday. When people focused on how they expect to feel this Thanksgiving, the strength of expectations for these emotions was reduced by as much as 20% compared to past Thanksgivings We also saw a very marked increase in people who expected that they might feel somewhat isolated and disengaged on Thanksgiving.
I suspect it's not that Americans don't have the same emotional yearnings to feel connected to their loved ones and to enjoy family time. It's just that the secularization of our lifestyles, the atomization of our household structures, and the mobilization of our eating styles all militate against this holiday.
The Risk Retailers Take
So what about doing business on Thanksgiving? We also asked consumers how they felt about stores opening so much earlier on Thanksgiving, and their perception of stores who might adopt this practice. Here the results are strikingly polarized.
About 15 percent of the respondents don't just like the idea of stores opening earlier, they love it, and they definitely plan to go shopping. These respondents were generally avid shoppers, most of whom (82 percent) say they were already committed to shopping on Black Friday, and three quarters of these consumers say they plan to show up at stores before they open. The prospect of stores opening on Thanksgiving makes these people feel good. They get a sense that the stores understand and care about their needs as harried bargain hunters, and they feel empowered by these new store policies. Finally, they are thinking, a retail brand understands how important it is for me to save money and finish my holiday shopping effectively.
On the other hand, two thirds of respondents appear to loathe the idea of early openings. They state that they "definitely will not shop" on Thanksgiving.
It makes them feel unhappy and disengaged, even defeated. They feel as if these stores and the culture are working against them, thwarting their desire to make the holiday special and meaningful for themselves and their families.
So -- retailers are rolling the dice. Are they better off opening early? Will they increase sales to those who would have already shopped on Black Friday? Will the intensified emotional connection among these shopping enthusiasts translate to better brand connection throughout the holidays – or will retailers simply spread the early spending of this group over two days? Only the sales records of the season will tell.
The potential downside is that retailers may sour their brand connection with the much larger audience. And that's a big risk: These people didn't just have no emotion about Thanksgiving openings, they had very strong negative emotions. Will it be enough to turn them against certain store brands? Some stores seem to think so: Both Nordstrom and Costco, for example, have held fast to their refusal to open on Thursday.
Most likely, stores will make the call based on their own assumptions about core customers.
In the end, however our culture is changing, it's important to realize that we love our families as much as we ever did, whether we are inclined or capable of gathering the clan together in one large group. Thanks to the scattering of American families, that reunion moment seems to be getting harder and harder to pull off.
We fulfill our need for connectedness in other ways. Chalk some of it up to Facebook and other social media, which allows us to connect to distant relations in ways we hadn't before. Getting together has new forms. Who knows? Maybe we are closer to finding a virtual Thanksgiving.
Whether you head off to Wal-Mart or not, have a great Thanksgiving holiday!

Before we get stuck into today's financial world, a request: please don't store petrol in your garage. A reader took us to task for suggesting that last week in our survivalists "to own" list. It was just a list. But her point is well taken. Petrol doesn't keep well. And you may need it later to burn all your paper money and furniture to keep warm. So store it somewhere safe, if you're going to store it at all.
But perhaps all this talk of a Long Depression is premature. We've just finished revising and remaking our case for D2 (the Second Great Depression) in the latest issue of Australian Wealth Gameplan. We were all set with a fairly conventional analysis of the macro-economic scene when we decided to scratch the whole thing and re-write it from a long-term historical perspective.
Usually these attempts are either incredibly stimulating and provocative or really boring for everyone else to read. Hopefully it won't be boring. But our main point is that when you're living in the middle of one, a long depression probably doesn't feel like it. It feels like every day things might get better. But they don't, at least not for a long while.
You certainly wouldn't suggest Australia is in the middle of Long Depression based on yesterday's current account deficit figures. Boy howdy, were they good! The current account deficit went from $16.5 billion in the March quarter to just $5.6 billion in the June quarter. As a percentage of GDP, the current account deficit is now at its smallest level in about 30 years.

The improvement in Australia's terms of trade is what accounted for the big jump. Record prices for iron ore and coal increased what Australia got paid for exports. And import prices – what Australia pays for the things it buys from the rest of the world – did not grow as fast. Presto. Change-o. Record low current account deficit.
Naturally, a record jump in the terms of trade – 12.5% for the quarter and 24.5% for the year – is the sort of spike that would convince us export prices have peaked and the Chinese real estate crash is imminent. Based on the Economic Statement in published in July, the government is counting a record-high terms of trade to support revenues, bring down the debt, and spur mining investment (despite the MRRT).
Speaking of the government, apparently there still isn't one. You might have expected this lack of political certainty (clarity about the future rate of taxation on mining companies) to be negative for the share market. But apparently Aussie investors – and maybe their leveraged global contemporaries – are drinking from the big jug of Kool Aid Ben Bernanke and the Fed have brewed.
In fact, whether Aussie investors are reacting to the prospect of Quantitative Easing from the Fed or not, it's pretty clear that not having a government is not a negative for share prices. Long live the status quo!
But on this issue of the Fed, the relevant question is how QEII would operate. We were going to write "work," but we're certain it's going to fail inasmuch as its ultimate aim is get credit flowing again in America. The Fed is pushing households and businesses to do something they've decided they don't want to do: borrow and spend.
If the aim of QEII is to get consumer spending back up to 70% of American GDP so it can drive global growth and restore the status quo ante the Global Financial Crisis, it will fail and gold and other tangible assets will keep going up. But if the goal of QEII is to buy corporate stocks and bonds to make everyone feel richer so that they might behave with more fiscal irresponsibility, well doggone it, it might just be crazy enough to work!
By work, we mean it might create a bid for stock prices, what with everyone knowing the Fed is there to buy. In fact, it would probably be a very good time to be a seller with the Fed on the other side of the trade. Maybe that's why everyone's buying now, so they can sell to the Fed later.
Of course, there's a long way to go between speculating about QEII will manifest itself and the Fed actually buying stocks outright. But just as a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, so also does the destruction of a currency begin with baby moves.
And finally, about that list of things to stock up on for Long Depression, what do you reckon was at the top of most people's lists? Salt! It was followed closely by sugar, soap, silver, bullets, and booze.
We got many notes on the subject and have read them all. We're not able to reply to each one personally, but thanks for all the effort. We'll compile a master-list and make it available later this week. Meanwhile, here was one of our favourite notes:
Hi ,
On reading your list I thought it appropriate to add rifle etc to the list , particularly as you have bullets on the list. I'd also add the Bible, the Koran, and the Talmud, with appropriate iconography should someone with bigger guns happen by.
I'd also add antibiotics, condoms (you can hope while you despair).
Did I mention a phrase book with simple to pronounce invitations, "To come in into my storage unit for bouncy bouncy" ?
If none of that was of use…I'd then do the unthinkable…invest in a Managed Fund!!

The month marks the 42 anniversary of the last manned occupation of the US' first big attempt to live in outer space – Skylab.
+History in pictures: Skylab: NASA's first space station marks 40 years+
Launched on May 14, 1973, the Skylab saw three crewed manned missions—the last being concluded in February 1974.
In terms of technology the lab was pretty advanced for the time. According to IBM, two Big Blue computers controlled the orientation of the laboratory throughout the mission. The onboard computers, which were arranged redundantly, were models of IBM's System/4Pi, a computer designed for the special weight and environmental requirements of aerospace applications. Each of the IBM computers aboard Skylab weighed 100 pounds and measured 19 by 7.3 by 31.8 inches. They were capable of handling more than 100 signals to Skylab attitude control equipment, IBM says.
There was talk of re-using Skylab after it was abandoned – the Space Shuttle would have been used to bring refurbishings to the craft -- but nothing ever came from those discussions.

On July 11, 1979, Skylab made a partially controlled re-entry intended to scatter the debris across the Indian Ocean. Much of the station burned up during re-entry, but not as quickly as expected. The debris dispersion area stretched from the southeastern Indian Ocean across a sparsely populated section of Western Australia, NASA said.

Shopian, Rajouri (Jammu and Kashmir), Nov 27 (ANI): Omar Abdullah drove on the historic 'Mughal' road today, the road used by Mughal Emperor Akbar 400 years ago to travel to Kashmir.
The road links Shopian in Kashmir Valley with Poonch in Jammu Division.
The road is nearing completion and despite heavy snowfall, the work is continuing uninterrupted.
The State Chief Minister who drove on the historic road on a silver vehicle expressed his gratitude to the Central government for its support.
The government has funded more than 6 billion rupees for the project.
"We are trying to throw open the road for traffic by June-July next year. There will be no dearth of money needed to build the road as the federal government has decided to fund the project," said Abdullah.
The locals here said that transportation would become easier once the road is complete.
"This road will benefit us a lot as transport will become easier for people travelling to Poonch," said Ghulam Hassan, a local resident.
In AD 1856, Akbar led Mughal army had reached this mountainous road and defeated Yousuf Shah Chek, the king of Kashmir. (ANI)

According to the Wauwatosa police report:
As she waited for her bus, the woman said, a man approached the bench from the north side of North Avenue, sat down next to her and pointed a gun at her from his lap.
She said he told her to "give me everything you have."
The woman gave him a wallet containing $30 and an MP3 player valued at $200.
The victim said the man then left and she got on a bus.

We had a wonderful holiday at Tu Y Yo. We were three families together so 14 of us in total and children ranging from 2-18yrs. The villa was perfect as it catered for all age ranges! The swimming pool is plenty big (and deep) enough for large groups and once heated was a pleasure to swim in! There are 7 bedrooms and bathrooms in the property so a great deal of space. We barbecued most days on the double BBQ which was a pleasure.
We found the villa superbly connected for exploring the local area as the tram line connecting Alicante to Benidorm is only a short walk away. Amongst other places, we spent a lovely afternoon in La Vila Joiosa. Highly recommended. Trips to El Campello town and beach were also frequent and easy.
The villa was perfect for a large family, we had our kids and their family with us. Every room had their own bathroom and the kitchen was well provided. The pool and the barbecue was fantastic. It was 5 minutes walk to the tram station and only 7 minutes by tram to El Campello with restaurants and a big beach. We really can recommend the villa.
The villa was wonderful. There were 8 adults in our group including two teenagers and also two small children aged 2 and 3. As my husband and I are the grandparents, we stayed in the room at the top of the house, which was perfect for us if we required some quiet time. The teenagers stayed in the annex, which was ideal for them. We all enjoyed swimming in the pool every day and and having nice barbeques. We loved the fact that each bedroom had an on suite and we felt that there was plenty of space for all of us. If there was any small criticism, it was that the villa was a bit dusty, especially under furniture. We noticed this with the little ones running about. The location of the villa was good, as the tram is very close by and we went to Coveta Fuma most nights which is only one stop on the tram, so the children could play happily in the playground ( with supervision), while we ate in one of the restaurants in the square. The teenagers caught the tram into Benidorm a couple of times, which was great for them and my husband and I escaped for one day and went to Villa Joyosa, which is only 6 stops on the tram and such a pretty place. All in all, it was a relaxing family holiday and a great villa and I would go again.
It was a very welcome surprise, there was plenty of space to be able to be with the family or find a terrace to spend time alone. The table tennis and pool table meant quality time for everyone to be involved and the swimming pool was warm enough to be inviting. Beds were clean and comfortable and the rooms were spacious. The kitchen was very well equipped, he dishwasher made life very easy and 2 washing machines were a bonus! The location was brilliant, far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to the tram to get around. All in all a fabulous week and we will be going again!
We werea party of 13 ranging from 3to 68 the villa we found excellent .the pictures online do not do justice to the size of the property .it is equiped to suit all ages the proximity to the tram makes travelling around easy we have stayed at a number of villas and this one we all agreed is the best no complaints have recommended to a few friends Pauline made the booking process hassle free and couldn't have been more helpful.to sum it up we wouldn't look anywhere else for our next villa holiday.
This is our third visit to the villa. We went in Sept 2010, Oct 2013 and again Oct 2015. It is a lovely massive villa, loads of space and a great place to stay. When you arrive and walk in and see the crystal clear pool, lovely BBQ area and outside eating area you know you have made the right choice. We all love it here and have already booked to go back next April.
The villa is very well equipped and has everything we could wish for. The kitchen is very well stocked with all the utensils you could need. We had many lovely BBQ's each time we went. Sitting out side in the warm evening having food and drinks with friends and family was so relaxing.
The living room has satellite TV which I did not use but the children did. There are many games, DVD's and books available for you to use. It feels that everyone who visits looks after the villa and its facilities ready for then next visitor. There is Broadband available and it is possible to get a wifi connection out by the pool so steaming music was no problem.
All of the bedrooms are clean and comfy with Air Con if needed. Lovely powerful hot showers. There were plenty of towel's provided in every room.
The villa is in a residential area which is quiet and peaceful and only a 3 mins walk from the Tram which is cheap and reliable. You can be in El Campello within 10 mins. El Campello is a lovely place. Lots of restaurants and bars servicing from early morning until late at night. All sorts of food. The Honkong Chinese was very good as was the Cocktail bar Code 1900 if you like your cocktails, The Majito was amazing at 7 Euros about £5 much cheaper than the UK.
El Campello has a wonderful beach which is cleaned regularly, lovely silver sand.
If you want a meal closer to the villa then Coveta is just a short walk (up a steep hill mind) or one stop on the train. Here there are a number of bars, a children's play area and a very good Gym.
The Villa is about 25 mins by taxi from Alicante which is 60 euros each way about £40. We have never hired a car as we have used the local tram but we may next time so we can travel further afield.
We have had 3 wonderful holidays and cannot wait to go back.

Romanian mayor ends hunger strike over cuts
Romanian mayor Florin Cazacu Saturday ended a six-day hunger strike over cuts in heating subsidies after the government handed his town extra funds for fuel oil.
He said thousands of residents in Brad have shivered at home after the government scrapped a centralised heating subsidy which, Cazacu said, left the central Romanian town with a 3 million lei ($912,500) shortfall.
Winter temperatures around Brad fall as low as minus 30 degrees Celsius (-22 Fahrenheit).
The government said Friday it would give Brad 1 million lei, which Cazacu said was a beginning but not enough.
The funds will ensure there is enough fuel oil for a period of 15 days, but let's not forget winter is just starting, 46-year-old Cazacu was quoted as saying by news agency Agerpres.
The government last year introduced tough austerity measures including salary cuts and a rise in value-added tax to one of the highest levels in the European Union.
Romania has promised the International Monetary Fund, which is leading a 5 billion euro aid deal, it will scrap government subsidies for centralised heating. It must also liberalise its gas and power market in stages by 2015.
Cazacu said he gave up the protest on the advice of colleagues.
I confess that my health has deteriorated, he said.
Thursday evening Cazacu was taken to the emergency room of Brad's unheated hospital after complaining of feeling sick.
Cazacu said he will continue to ask the government to supply 2,500 tonnes of fuel oil from state reserves, which would ensure Brad would get heating for the entire winter season.

Dollar Eases, GBP Awaits BoE
The greenback relinquished some of its gains against the euro, slipping toward the 1.4780-region in early morning trading. There was little US economic data for traders to digest with focus shifting to Thursday's weekly jobless claims and trade deficit figures.
JPY Shrugs off Soft Data
The yen firmed against the majors, rising to 87.38 versus the dollar and to 128.81 against the euro as risk aversion continues to be the driving force behind the currency's direction. Japan downwardly revised its Q3 GDP report by more than consensus estimates, which had forecast the revision to 0.6%, instead revealing its economic growth had slowed to 0.3% versus the previously reported reading of 1.2%. On an annualized basis, the revised Q3 GDP was trimmed to 1.3%, falling by more than expected from the 4.8% reported in the preliminary reading. According to Japan's Cabinet Office, the downward revision was the largest since 2002 and raises doubt over the sustainability of Japan's economic recovery.
USDJPY hovers just beneath the 88-level, with support eyed at 87.40, followed by 87 and 86.60. Subsequent floors are seen at 86.20, backed by 86 and 85.50. On the upside, resistance starts at 88.30, followed by 88.65 and 89. Additional gains will encounter ceilings at 89.40, backed by 89.70 and 90.
Sterling's Woes Continue
The British pound slumped to a near 8-week low beneath the 1.62-level to 1.6170 amid lingering concerns over the deteriorating fiscal conditions in the UK. In UK Finance Minister Darling's pre-budget report to Parliament, he said that he expects the net debt to reach 56% of GDP in 2009/2010 and for it to peak in 2014/2015. He also reiterated the UK economy's growth rate of 1 to 1.5% and that he expects the economy to slump by 4.75% in 2009, worst than the initial 3.25 to 3.75% decline previously estimated.
The markets will look ahead to the Bank of England's monetary policy decision due out Thursday morning. The BoE is widely anticipated to leave rates unchanged at 0.5% and also maintain its current program of bond purchases.
Cable has rebounded somewhat in the New York session, stabilizing near the 1.6250-level. Resistance is seen at 1.6270, followed by 1.63 and 1.6350. Additional ceilings are eyed at 1.6380, backed by 1.64 and 1.6440. On the downside, support starts at 1.62, followed by 1.6170 and 1.6130. Subsequent floors are eyed at 1.61, backed by 1.6065 and 1.6030.

As the world increasingly turns to agriculture to help meet a growing need for food and energy, ADM Cares is directing approximately half of its annual budget to organizations that promote agronomically and environmentally sound growing practices; farm safety and education; and better health, incomes and working conditions for farming families and workers in key growing regions. To date, our contributions have:
Supported a US$40 million World Cocoa Foundation/Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation initiative to improve the quality of life for men and women who grow cocoa beans in the West African nations of Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Camaroon, Nigeria and Liberia. The effort complements ADM's own Socially and Environmentally Responsible Agricultural Practices program, which has been in place in Côte d'Ivoire since 2005.
Helped spearhead a campaign to enable soybean farmers in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso to improve their yields and profits without expanding into environmentally sensitive areas. The sustainable farming group Aliança da Terra is our partner in this effort.
ADM Cares will continue to seek out partnerships and projects that help world agriculture develop along a responsible, sustainable path.
