Disney to Release Space Mountain Graphic Novel with Gorgeous Kelley Jones Art
- Written by ThanosCopter on Monday, August 05 2013 and posted in News with Benefits

Disney has entered the graphic novel market. Disney Book Group, a publishing arm of Disney that seems to mainly publish children's book tie-ins to various television and movie properties, has announced Space Mountain, a new original graphic novel written by Bryan Q Miller (Batgirl, Smallville: Season 11) with art by Kelley Jones (Batman, Sandman). Here's an early inked page of the graphic novel, which won't be released til next May.
Well, that looks fantastic.
The graphic novel will feature two young cadets of the Magellan Space Academy who are chosen to go on a mission into the future. Predictably, the mission goes awry, and the cadets have to find a way to escape from Space Mountain before the universe is destroyed.
Don't be surprised to see this get nominated for a few Eisners in 2015.

What was once a military base is now one of the most successful technology centers in the nation. As a matter of fact, Reese Technology Center is the only military base in the country to undergo such a rapid transition and become financially self sufficient.
Reese Technology Center is a vehicle for economic growth, hundreds of jobs have already been created and with the current research, not only is Reese profiting, but it's now known as a research hub around the world.
In an effort to educate leaders across the city of Lubbock, dozens gathered at Reese Technology Center Thursday for an update on its successful growth.
"We're the only Air force/Military base that completed the redevelopment in record time. Normally it takes about 25 years and we did it in three years," says Eric Williams, Executive Director of Reese Technology Center.
Williams says Reese has grown to be the 5th largest research park in the United States. "Reese is profitable and we're bringing new jobs. That's one of the main things we're working toward, as a matter of fact over the last three years 572 new jobs and over 4000 college students right here at Reese."
As a matter of fact Reese has brought nearly $27 million into this economy. Reese now has a fiber optic network and wireless system, that will allow distance education, voice over Internet protocol and uninterrupted two way live conferencing. "That's Technology that's just simply not available to cities the size of Lubbock. It's been termed as the backbone to the Internet and it really puts us into a league where we can compete with New York, California, Phoenix, Arizona, Dallas, really makes the opportunities we have not only at Reese but in Lubbock endless when it comes to economic development and creating jobs and new opportunities," said Lubbock Mayor Marc McDougal.
They are currently training more than 400 people at Reese, and expect to train another 2,000 next year. As research expands and new research begins, more companies will move to the area, creating even more opportunities.

Investing in contemporary art can be fun and very profitable…
by Harry Newton
This painting sold for $120 million in May 2012, Contemporary art is enjoying a major boom.
It ebbed after 2008, but didn't bust. Now it continues on its parabolic way up, defying all expectations. It is more attractive to look than paperless stock "certificates."
So that's a benefit.
This Edward Munch's #120 million The Scream. This is the closest I could get to it over Christmas at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
You can see it and other more interesting (and cheaper) paintings, like these:
Figure on spending at least four hours. MOMA has grown dramatically in recent years. In addition to their permanent exhibits they have fun ones, like this shadow thingee. You perform in front of this "projector" which transforms your silhouette into wonderful shapes.

There is reason for optimism. Not only are single-family home prices steadily climbing, but the Joint Center for Housing Studies at Harvard University in a June report said inventories of new, single-family homes in March were at the lowest level in 49 years.
The upshot: It would take fewer than six months to sell the current inventory, the traditional boundary between a strong and weak market, says Eric Belsky, managing director of the center.
To be sure, some promising signals during the recession turned out to be false alarms. In mid-2009, the 20-city S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index began a yearlong rise, only to fall again. Yale professor Robert Shiller, who called both the early 2000s stock-market crash and the recent real-estate bust, says he isn't certain prices have bottomed.
But even if the absolute nadir hasn't been reached, most economists say the odds are good that real estate will be stronger over the next few years than it has been in the past few.
The easiest way to make a broad bet on home builders is through an ETF, such as SPDR S&P Homebuilders (XHB: 22.43, 0.26, 1.17%) or iShares Dow Jones US Home Construction (ITB: 17.34, 0.31, 1.82%) . Given the market's run-up, however, it might be smarter to stick with specific home-related stocks that have the most room for growth, says Bob Wetenhall, a senior analyst at RBC Capital Markets.
KB Homes (KBH: 10.74, 0.64, 6.34%), for example, has shown improving new-home orders that set it above other home builders, Mr. Wetenhall says. What's more, after accounting for tax benefits that it accrued during the housing downturn, the company's price/book ratio is 1, about 30% below that of other home builders, he says.
Lennar (LEN: 31.49, 0.78, 2.54%), which has a price/book ratio of 1.5 after adjusting for tax benefits, looks expensive next to its peers. But since it gets revenues not only from single-family homes but also multifamily housing and other kinds of real estate, it will be buttressed, Mr. Wetenhall says.

Commodity prices can be roaring, but as long has globalization drives down wages at home, as it has for the last 30 years, their overall impact will be modest, at best. So add it all together, and you get an inflation rate that is stagnant at low single digits. You are obviously not working hard enough.
I am interested in all this because I have a dog in this fight. I happen to be short out of the money call spreads on the Treasury bond ETF (TLT). I also have more than a passing interest in the (TBT), a leveraged ETF that bets that the Treasury bond interest rates will rise and prices will fall. I used to think that a resurgence of inflation would take it from the current $14.50 to $200. I don't believe that anymore. I instead think we will see a rise only to $43, which equates to a ten year Treasury bond yield of 4.10%, up from today's 1.45%.
That is still a potential gain of nearly 300%, which is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick in this zero return world. And that middling profit will not be delivered by a reincarnation of the inflation beast, but by the sheer volume of issuance of bonds demanded by our enormous budget deficits.

But you shouldn't limit yourself to the world of ADRs. Doing so may eliminate some otherwise great investment opportunities.
Consider BMW, which I mentioned above. I love BMW for precisely the same reasons I like Daimler. Luxury German cars are an aspirational status symbol around the world, but particularly in emerging markets. I consider BMW a fine "backdoor" way to profit from the rise of China's nouveau riche, and the company's operating results have been nothing short of stellar even in the midst of a European debt crisis.
BMW had record profits in 2011 and raised its dividend to a new record level. More rises are likely. I'd prefer the ease of buying BMW as an ADR, but I would be perfectly comfortable buying it on the German exchange as well.
Much the same could be said for the two fashion brands I mentioned above. I love ADR-traded LVMH as an indirect bet on emerging market growth. But if I love LVMH, why would I also not love Burberry or Prada? All three companies are wildly profitable, have incredible brand equity and cater to the taste of high-income earners in Asia and elsewhere.
As capital markets become more globally integrated and information more dispersed, the barriers to buying and selling locally-traded shares are getting smaller.
Most large, foreign blue chip companies publish their annual reports in an English version, and even for those that do not there is usually ample data available to help you in your decision making. Reporting standards do vary from country to country, but this should be no impediment to a motivated investor willing to roll up his sleeves and do a little research.

Billionaire investor and Dallas Mavs owner Mark Cuban "likes" Facebook, but he doesn't love it.
In a blog post, Cuban says he has snatched up 150,000 shares of Facebook. Specifically, he says he bought 50,000 shares at $33 a pop, 50,000 at $31.97 and another 50,000 at $32.50.
But he doesn't have any plans of holding these shares for the long term. Far from it.
"It's a trade, not an investment," Cuban says. "Kind of like buying a Mickey Mantle, a Hank Aaron and a Barry Bonds rookie card knowing there is a card show in town next week."
Facebook shares closed up 3.2% at $33.03. So, he's in the money. The stock is still down 13% from its $38 IPO price.
Facebook's trading debut last week was marred by technical glitches at Nasdaq, prompting the exchange to delay the social network's opening trade by about a half hour. The confusion left investors unsure of whether their orders to buy and sell shares had been fulfilled.
The Facebook IPO destroyed investor sentiment at a time when confidence was already extremely low, Cuban says.

There's a saying on Wall Street: There's no such thing as a safe investment, only one whose risks aren't yet apparent. Investors keep learning it all over again. J.P. Morgan Chase stock, anyone? Best Buy?
How about some Greek government bonds? After all, they're members of the euro zone now, they should be fine!
At least here you'll know you're gambling. And you're getting paid for the risks.
So, in the words of Clint Eastwood's steel-nerved Inspector "Dirty" Harry Callahan: "You've got to ask yourself a question. 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
If you're looking for cheap fuel, this is it. Uranium prices have collapsed 30% since the Fukushima tragedy in Japan last year. A pound of uranium traded for $140 in 2007. Today: $52.
Since Fukushima, governments have scaled back plans for new reactors. Germany is going nuke-free. But it's not the whole story. World energy demand is expected to rise 40% over 20 years. Getting there without more nuclear reactors will be especially tough. Meanwhile, the world hardly mines enough uranium to feed the reactors that already operate. Uranium is well below replacement cost.
Uranium Participation is a Canadian closed-end fund which owns physical uranium in a warehouse, the way a gold fund owns gold. The stock, which trades under the symbol "U" on the Toronto Stock Exchange and as "URPTF" in the Pink Sheets over-the-counter market, trades for about 20% below the net asset value.
Way out in the Alaskan wilderness, in the far, far northwest, is an area known as Donlin Creek. There is gold in them thar hills. Lots of it.
Developers say they've found at least 34 million ounces of "proven and probable" reserves—with a gross value today of $54 billion—and there is almost certainly much more.
The Donlin Creek gold project is 50%-owned by Barrick Gold, one of the world's largest gold-mining companies, and 50%-owned by NovaGold, a small one. At $5 and change a share, NovaGold is valued at $1.7 billion.
It will be many years—maybe eight—before Donlin Creek actually starts producing its first ounces of gold. There is many a slip between cup and lip.
Gold exploration is famously exciting for investors, and not always in a good way. In this case you are taking a flyer on production, and on the future of gold prices.
Some really smart people have joined the gamble on this stock, including hedge-fund managers Seth Klarman and John Paulson and Fidelity Investments' star fund manager Will Danoff. Speculative, but fun.

As an ex-Wall Street Institutional Investor ranked analyst, I've written on many stocks and IPOs before, including: LNKD IPO (here), BankRate IPO (here), and even a piece on Facebook back in 2007 where I argued Yahoo! needed to buy Facebook (here) for $6-7b.
Importantly on Facebook, I think when one looks at the company's potential, it's paramount that one thinks bigger picture and longer term – this post is predicated on this.
In the essence of being succinct, below I point out my Top 5 reasons I'm bullish on Facebook long term, as well as my Top 5 concerns. There are an endless number of items for each list, but I think these items sum up the major points.
1 – Facebook is a Force Majeure @ 900m Users – Facebook dominates one of the largest forces on the Internet, Social. It clearly embodies everything we do that's social from posting pictures, to sharing our real time thoughts, to connecting with old friends, to making new friends.
It reflects how we behave offline and exemplifies how social behaviors pervade much of what we do on a daily basis. Facebook is the king of one of human's most basic communication needs – sharing. Further, the company has managed to expand outside its own website or app.
3 – Mobile Monetization is Just Starting – Facebook grew revenues ~45% in the most recent quarter – that's impressive. However, what is most astounding, is that >50% of its monthly users visit the platform via a mobile device and these users haven't been monetized yet. Facebook is just starting to monetize >50% of its user base! Imagine the lift in the financials from not only growing the users, but by merely monetizing over one-half of the current un-monetized base.

Lots of people are familiar with the NFL draft, where professional football teams swap, deal and finally pick the most promising collegiate players looking to join the league. In fact, the latest episode starts tonight.
What if you could do that for stocks?
CNBC's "Street Signs" will be trying to do just that, beginning today. It will feature a "stock draft" where seven well-known stock pickers will play the part of NFL owners, picking and choosing among a pool of 21 popular stocks (i.e. the promising players).
For investors, what may be more telling is which stocks don't get picked. The "drafted" picks will be tracked and monitored up to the next Super Bowl (just like players for the upcoming season). Performance will be measured on a percentage basis. So the traders may elect to pick a beaten up stock (like some techs and retailers of late) in hopes of a good bounce instead of one that is currently in good standing.

Columbia Large-Cap Growth Equity Strategy Fund (RWG): Up 20.53%
This is the top performing active ETF year-to-date; with gains nearly double that of the S&P 500, RWG can certainly boast bragging rights when it comes to bottom-line returns.
This ETF has been able to charge ahead of most broad-based equity benchmarks thanks to its creative security selection approach; the management team behind RWG combines fundamental and quantitative analysis to select large cap securities which are deemed to have above-average growth prospects.

FINE watches have long been about more than just telling time. They have served as gifts for graduation and retirement. They have been collected and coveted for their craftsmanship. They are often flaunted as status symbols.
Even so, the current economic climate would not seem conducive for timepieces filled with wheels and springs — the finest ones do not use batteries — that start at $15,000 and go up to $1 million or more. Plus, any cellphone can tell you the time.
It turns out, though, that the market for vintage timepieces has been booming. Watches are now the sixth largest department at Christie's, accounting for $116 million in sales in 2011. That was a 26 percent increase from the year before, and much of the growth is being driven by Asian collectors.
"We have new collectors looking at watches as alternative investments," said Sam Hines, head of watches in Asia for Christie's. "There has also been the formation of a trophy market."
These trophies are watches that are very rare, if not one of a kind. Last year, the most expensive wristwatch sold at auction was a Patek Philippe chronograph from 1928, which sold in Geneva for $3.6 million, a record price for that model.
The demand is only partly driven by [continue]…

Migration, Skills and Productivity
AbstractThe literature on international migration has repeatedly emphasized that the extent and structure of migration has an important impact on the competitiveness of regions and countries. This report provides an overview of the extent and the potential effects of high-skill migration to the EU27. It shows how many high-skilled migrants live in the EU, where these migrants come from, and how the European Union is positioned in the international competition for talent. Second, we examine how high-skilled migrants fare in European labour markets. Finally we address the issue of the effects of high-skill migration on multifactor productivity, gross value added and GDP per capita growth as well as patenting activities at the sectoral and regional levels. We find that - despite substantial heterogeneity among individual EU countries - high-skilled foreign-born are an important source for high-skilled labour in the EU27. There was some evidence that - on average - EU OECD economies (EU) had a lower share of highly qualified migrants than the (arithmetic) average of the (high migration) non-EU OECD economies. However, our results also suggest that this increasing selectivity of immigration regimes is countered by a relatively low qualification structure of short-term migrants in the EU. A second important policy relevant finding of this study is that high-skilled migrants in the EU face a number of challenges when entering the European labour market, that make them distinct from other migrant groups such as less skilled migrants. In particular the high-skilled migrants - in contrast to less skilled migrants - have lower labour market participation rates, higher unemployment rates and lower employment rates than comparable natives and face substantially higher risks of being employed in jobs that do not fit their skill structure. Our analysis regarding the impact of migration and of high-skilled migration in particular on sectoral productivity and gross value added (levels and growth) yielded a number of interesting results though still being preliminary. Particularly interesting was the difference of the impact of the share of migrants in levels and growth specifications, as well as the importance of a break-down by different groups of migrants (from EU and RoW). There was also a relatively robust result of a positive impact of the share of high-skill migrants and of an interactive effect of high-skill migrant share and ICT technology. As regards the analysis of migrants and regional growth and regional technological development (proxied by patents per capita) we found a positive relationship between the share of high-skilled employed persons and of high-skilled migrants and the growth rate of regional GDP per capita.

Participation in LA Times Festival of Books
Does Blurb plan to have a presence at the LA Times Festival of Books (April 26-27)? This would seem to be an ideal opportunity not only to publicize Blurb, but also to give Blurb authors a chance to show their books to an extremely wide & diverse audience. If Blurb were willing to do this, I would certainly be happy to pay a reasonable fee for the opportunity to display my books, and I suspect that other Blurb authors would also be interested.
I'll be interested in all replies.
Hi spengilly,
The Festival of Books was not on our radar until now, so thanks for the tip. We'll definitely look into it, but no promises that we'll be attending, of course.
Love suggestions like these. Please keep them coming.

Is That a Problem?
Posted on Monday, April 13th, 2009 at 4:41pm.
One thing that often gets overlooked is cracks. Cracks can mean a lot of things, and can make people anxious about the condition of the home. A house can look fresh and newly painted, but if cracks-even very small ones- are showing up in the floors, on the walls, around the edge of the bathtub, etc. an alarm will go off with potential buyers. They may not even mention it to their agent. They will just walk away making assumptions that may not be valid.
Go through your home and see it the way an outsider would look at it. You are used to the cracks, but others are not. Determine if there are structural issues that need to be addressed and disclosed. If not, start repairing these problem areas. Use care and good workmanship. It will pay off with your potential buyers.

Spelt Muffins with Blueberries and Orange Zest
Feeling a little adventurous? Venture on down to the store and pick up some spelt flour. It is an excellent way to incorporate whole grains, iron and protein into your diet. Spelt flour has a nutty flavor and is slightly sweeter than wheat flour. Spelt is also good source of fiber, protein, niacin, thiamin, iron and magnesium. Combine these benefits with the antioxidant power of blueberries and the nutritional benefits of oats and you have yourself a winner!
1 1/4 cup Rolled Oats1 cup Spelt Flour1 T Baking Powder1/2 tsp Salt1/3 cup Sugar1 T fresh Orange Zest1 Egg1 cup Milk1/4 cup Corn Oil1 cup Blueberries, fresh or frozen
Instructions:Preheat oven to 400F.
In small bowl, stir together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder and salt. In a medium bowl, beat the egg with a fork. Add in milk, sugar, orange zest and vegetable oil.
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until barely combined, be careful not to over stir. Gently fold in blueberries, again do not over stir! The batter will be runny.
Fill a muffin pan with paper liners or use silicone muffin cups. Divide batter equally among muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full.
Remove muffins from oven and cool on a rack. Enjoy!

Being in love with your best friend sucks2 Reviews
I tried to cover up my emotions that were threatening to spill over and engulf me by going crazy. I jumped off amps, attack the mic stand like it was a murderer. I could tell I was gonna pay for this in the morning when every muscle in my body ached, but it was work it, because Gerard looked over and me and grinned that heart melting smile.
The set eventually finished and we walked off stage. Gerard hugged me for the briefest of seconds before going off to hug everyone else. My whole body tingled from his touch and I was left rooted to the spot until Mikey came up and high-fived me. keep your cool Frank. You can't give away your feelings. It would ruin everything
I couldn't risk everything me and Gerard had. He was my best friend, and I couldn't let my stupid emotions get in the way of that, no matter how much it hurt me.
After walking back to our tour bus, we all sat around and talked for a while. Eventually people starting drifting into the bunk area to sleep. Soon it was just me left with Gerard. He smiled at me and I swear I died and went to heaven.
We sat in silence for a few minutes before Gerard yawned.
"Dude, how are you not tired? I mean, you were totally going nuts!!! was your side of the stage on fire or something?!" he asked with his adorable laugh.
"I guess I'm kinda tired, still just pumped from the show" I explained
"Well man, I'm gonna hit the sack, i'll see you tomorrow"
"Night Gee"
"Night Frankie" He smirked.
After he'd left the room I threw my head into my hands, wondering what I'd ever deserved to be put through this.
Just so you know... Being in love with your best friend sucks.

A thoroughly readable list of stats from a survey conducted by Writer's Digest, with some fascinating results.

Ciardaran off, no Pokemon left to save her. "I just want my Tranquill to live....." she said as she left.
Meanwhile, Tanisa repeatedly Air Slashed the Seviper.
Kyo watched and Ivy backed up from pansear. "Are you sure we shouldnt do something? ... "

"They'll be fine. We should finish this battle," Chili responded.
Cress sighed in annoyance. This is going to be annoying to take care of...
OOC: Tanisa can't attack. They're both bound with Wrap.
A wild Gothitelle ran after Cress and then it used Psychic on all the Seviper to free the other two. "Okay, that's not mine!" Ciarda said.
OOC: You can't do that with wild pokemon. Besides, it would never get into the building.
OOC: Then explain how Tanisa and Ciarda got in with Gothira.
... Kyo nodded and turned back to the battle. "Alright. Then Ivy, use Wrap!"
Ivy took one last look at the battle going on before shaking it off and following her trainers commands. Once more her body wraped around the Pansear, squeezing it tight.
"Now use Vine Whip to get into the air and do a body slam!"
Ivy smiles at her trainers odd orders, and her vines as he instructed. Once she has Pansear in the air, she lets the pair drop from the air, still binding Pansear untill they hit the ground.
(woot :D and the game thinks Snivy cant do a body slam lol.)
Pokemon Black- 3439-6961-3323
Pokemon Black2-4342-0303-5375
OOC: Gothita was in a pokeball. It was a trainer pokemon, not a wild pokemon.
At this, the Pansear fainted. Chili returned the pokemon. "Looks like you won! Nice final move. Here is the Trio Badge," Chili said, handing Kyo the badge.
"What do we do with these pokemon now?" One of the workers asked Cress.
Cress sighed. "I'll be right back." He left the building and went to Ciarda.
"What now?!" Ciarda said as Cress neared her.
((Is it okay if I co-GM with you?))
"We....Ivy we won!" He called to her happily.
"Iv...vy" She replyed with a smile before colapsing
"Ivy!" Kyo yelled, voice filled with concern as he ran and picked up the now barely concious pokemon.
Pokemon Black- 3439-6961-3323
Pokemon Black2-4342-0303-5375
OOC: Sorry, but no. If I need a co-GM, I'll ask for one.
"Looks like she needs some treatment. She hasn't quite fainted yet, so..." Chili pulled a Hyper Potion out of his pocket and handed it to Kyo.
Cress sighed again. "Like I said before, what you did was a public offense. I just need you to never do it again. Please come with me so you can pick up your pokemon. You are able to get them under control, aren't you?"
"My Tranquill's no big deal. It's Gothira I'm worried about." said Ciarda.
"You caught it recently, didn't you? You may want to do some training with her at the trainers' school."

September 2013 Issue
He's only five minutes late, but Austin Laufersweiler calls one morning in May to apologize and explain that he just got out of a meeting. As the new president of UGA's Student Government Association (SGA), he has many demands on his time. But Laufersweiler is not the average student—once a victim of bullying, he remade himself into an advocate, effecting change and receiving accolades at the local, state and national levels. Now he's putting his skills to work in the service of his fellow students at UGA. While campaigning for SGA president during spring semester, Laufersweiler and his team emphasized retooling the organization to better serve student needs and also create a culture change—one that encourages students to get more involved on campus. Measuring success with the latter goal is going to be tough, but Laufersweiler thinks that figuring out what they're passionate about—it could be athletics, research, theater, social justice or just about anything—will help students graduate with a much …

Our wine week continues with a wine spritzer recipe. Refreshing, effervescent and light, this simple cocktail combines white wine, muddled berries and seltzer in an easy sipping spring drink. This practically screams patio season. I used a Pinot Grigio from Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, and the notes of fresh peach and citrus complemented the juicy, muddled berries. Feel free to swap out berries or try a different white- a white zinfandel will add more floral aromas.

Japan's Nikkei fell early Monday amid caution before this week's Bank of Japan policy meeting and on profit-taking after the index Friday posted its biggest one-day point and percentage gain since March 2011.
Investors were cautious before the outcome of the Bank of Japan's two-day policy meeting on Tuesday. The central bank is widely expected to undertake a series of fresh monetary easing measures to more closely align itself with the government's policy demands including the adoption of a 2.0% inflation target and an additional Y10 trillion in asset purchases.
"For all the political pressure on the BOJ to deliver, we don't expect anything beyond the 2.0% target, maybe a cut in the interest on excess reserves and another extension of asset purchases," Westpac Global Strategy Group's Sean Callow said in a note to clients.
"(The) USD/JPY thus seems to be prone to disappointment on the week, which is likely to cause some collateral damage to the AUD, NZD and EUR via yen crosses," he added.
The USD/JPY was recently at 89.85, down slightly from 90.10 late Friday in New York after rising as high as 90.25 early Monday, while the EUR/JPY was at 119.55 compared with 119.93.
Given stretched positioning, thin volumes with U.S. markets shut for a holiday and speculation before the Bank of Japan's policy meeting outcome, David Scutt, Treasury dealer at Arab Bank Australia tipped a day of "wild swings" for yen crosses.
"With all the major pairs overbought and aggressive easing already priced in, if there are any risks today, they are slanted to the downside," he said in a note.
Japan's Nikkei dropped 0.6%, with exporters mostly lower: Honda Motor fell 1.2% and TDK slipped 1.3%. Heavyweights Fanuc and Fast Retailing were also among Monday's losers, down 2.8% and 1.1%, respectively.
Apple-related plays were lower before the company reports fourth-quarter earnings later this week: Softbank slipped 1.7%, Mitsumi Electric fell 1.7% and LG Display was off 0.7%.
Australia's S&P/ASX 200 was modestly lower, down 0.1% amid a lack of clear drivers.
Among gainers National Australia Bank rose 1.4% after The Sunday Times reported that Spanish bank Banco Santander is weighing making a 2 billion pound bid for its U.K. branch networks, while OZ Minerals advanced 4.3% increasing the mineral-resource estimate at its Carrapateena deposit in South Australia by 43%, in addition to making a new discovery near the site.
Sims Metal Management dropped 4.6% in Sydney after flagging a 60 million Australian dollar writedown after finding the value of its U.K. inventory to have been materially overstated.
South Korea's Kospi fell 0.5%.

On 3rd December Tough Love will release the self-titled debut album from Brighton's The Soft Walls.
Recorded over the space of nine months, The Soft Walls is the product of time spent in solitude by Cold Pumas member and Faux Discx overseer, Dan Reeves. Incorporating a broad palette of sonic textures that include psychedelic folk, ambient & found sounds, lo-fidelity garage, disjointed krautrock, and the more inward-looking mutations of house, the diverse range of influences on show ultimately forge what is a very singular and unique vision.
Thick with the fog of tape static, claustrophobic ambience and the cavernous effect applied to Reeves' vocal, The Soft Walls conjures a similar turn-of-the-century anxiety as that of peers Women and Liars. However, there remains something suitably European in The Soft Walls' unease, at once close heat, then slanting rain. It's increasingly rare to find music of this type made in Britain and it's the Otherness of The Soft Walls noise and invention that allows it to stand-alone.
Previously released via Reeves' Bandcamp page and as a limited edition cassette on Suplex, Tough Love are now making the record available on limited edition vinyl (100 copies only) as well as through all the usual digital services.
Pre-order the 12" here.
Pitchfork have posted 'Black Cat' from the record here. Or listen to the song below.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Jurors in the trial of two men accused of orchestrating the killing of a prominent South Florida businessmen heard a day of testimony about crime scene evidence and firearm ballistics.
Two police experts testified Wednesday in the trial of Anthony "Big Tony" Moscatiello and Anthony "Little Tony" Moscatiello. The two face the death penalty if convicted in the February 2001 slaying of Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis. Prosecutors say he was killed in a struggle for control of the lucrative SunCruz Casinos gambling fleet.
The experts testified that Boulis was fatally shot with a .380-caliber handgun at close range. A witness previously said Boulis was shot in his car on a Fort Lauderdale street by a man who pulled a car alongside. The experts said four shell casings were found.

My love for him is like a burning torch which cannot be extinguished. A love that will
live forever into eternity. An unsatisfied hunger that can only be remedy by him, a
Love that is multiplying into zillion folds and still unfolding. How do I go on that he no
longer wants me- his love for me was only conditional,and yet I want him. How do I
allow my heart to surrender to his, when he testes and probes me to see if I am
suitable be with him. Why do I yearn to be next to him when I now the out come
that he never love me unconditional, a love that could only lost through eternity.
And, yet I still miss him. Now he is gone because he no longer wants me because I
came to my senses and refused him. Hoping and praying that he will return to me
and love me the way, I should and deserve to be truly loved by him.

It was inevitable, it was bound to happen, blogs like these, Neil Strauss' "The Game', etc has unleashed itself on the world, and girls, (who of course can't control themselves in sticking their noses in everything) have found out, and are now watching out for Game on the dating scene. Out in the field, more and more girls are not only aware of game, but have read enough to be on the look out for it, and call a player on it when he's running game. The first time a player is called out can be off putting, unexpected, and can jolt him out of his state. How is one supposed to run game on a girl that knows game, and knows that you are running game? Has the magical veil been lifted? Have you been blown out?
Girls that know of game, have read about it, and are defensive about it, are still just as susceptible to game. Why? Because what game does is trigger her biological and psychological seduction urges. Her having knowledge of game cannot and will not guard her against the impulses that generations of evolution have given her – the impulses ensconced in her dna. It merely provides her with a strong defense and a somewhat surprising shit test that you need to know how to deflect, or maneuver around.
You need to keep gaming girls that know about game and shoot out accusatory remarks to signify to you that she's on to you. You need to have the state of mind that says, 'I don't give a fuck that you know I'm gaming you, I'm still going to do it, and it's going to work' – it's kind of like calling your shot before you hit a grand slam – it's the right kind of confidence that will break her defense and allow you to score.
Girls that do this will be defensive about any obvious game ploys and will be desperately trying to prove that it doesn't work, and/or it's misogynistic. She will scoff, mock, and use shame tactics. These are of course just shit tests. What she's really doing, unaware's of herself and her actions, is giving you a well laid out strategy to game her. She might as well GPS her vagina to your cock. All you have to do is start acting sincere, and run opposite game. She'll keep shit testing you the entire time, but you just deflect, agree and amplify and pass the onslaught appropriately.
She: Was that a neg?
You: Neg? Is that a character in Twilight?
She: Oh now you're misdirecting. You're totally running game!
You: You want to play a game? What do you like, chinese checkers?
She: Chinese checkers? (giggle) You're crazy.
You want to be able to say things that most guys with weak game don't. You need to be all the things that game teaches you: cocky/funny, aloof, indifferent, standing firm against her tirades and emotional onslaughts, and agree and amplify. When she brings up game as a defense, it is no different than anti-slut defense, you just need to comfort her that you aren't a 'player' and aren't just there to pick her up – even though you both know that's exactly what you are doing.
She is coming at you with this defense because this is her frontal brain talking – game is about triggering the hindbrain which is where attraction comes from, and why taking what a girl says seriously has catastrophic effects. Dealing with a girls frontal brain can confuse a man into getting off his game, if you get into it with her you'll see your head spin around and you'll vomit emotions like a demon is possessing you. After that you will need a master gamesmen to exorcise that shit out of you.
The best thing here to do is just run contradictory game. Meaning, she's spelt out what and who she thinks you are, so you only need to maintain a confident state, spit witty remarks, but contradict game every once and a while – a little sincerity is good, while still remaining funny. You want to be able to be genuinely interested in what and who she is, it will be enough to comfort, while you are still running game and activating her hindbrain sexuality triggers. You can escalate at will after passing a few shit tests, she's already expecting you to – so if you pass the shit tests and she thinks you're sincerely interested in her, she'll want to fuck.
