My son is 9 yrs old with severe autism and currently weighs 105 lbs. Topamax certainly seems to help with the appetite....I have not experienced much change in his behavior. I was told that it can also reduce some of the self-injurious behavior and tantrums....I can't say that has happened to date. Sometimes it's hard to tell when using multiple meds what's doing what.

I don't know what the deal is..but I think they rough up the cutcle so much, that hair looks dry & damaged. Mine did. So I had to use a conditioner afterwards, (which I normally don't because it makes my fine hair limp), to get the comb thru & to give it some slip & movement. My hair was a dry, birds nest after this shampoo!
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Light is a little cooler, than traditional halogen lamp. I compared with halogen lamps of 35w. I changed halogens to these led, but led got less light (not so bright) that 35w halogen.

Color temp seems correct, is a bit cooler then incandescent light. Very bright, i advise it to be used as indirect lighting. I states Luminous Flux is 510 Lumen, but to me it seems a bit less.

plenty light for ok price. fits in most armatures I bought it to replace halogen bulps 12V, but as the halogen driver puts ac current out, in contrast to LED drivers, the LED will flikker. this could have been circumvented by adding a condensator to the design.

It offers a pleasant light, cooler than a traditional halogen lamp. The luminous flux is effectively about 500 lumens that is sufficient to light up a desk from an height of 1 metre from the top of the desk. It is also very confortable because, on the contrary of the halogen lamps, produces very little ... Read more

How the Hornbuckles overcame heroin

In this postmodern age, it's sometimes hard to tell the difference between a brilliant, faithfully executed parody and the real thing (see: Die Antwoord) — and that's exactly the case with Bad's self-titled debut. What is certain is that the album packs such a broad range of rock clichés into its 33-minute run time that it's hard to know what, exactly, the band is mocking, if that's even the case. There's the melodramatic touch of opening with a shouted a cappella poem, the Cheap Trick butt rock of "Where THE Bad Kids ARE," the Thriller-type Dracula breakdown in "When I Die." Carter James's vocals sound like a combination of an opera-singer spoof and the B-52s' Fred Schneider. A couple of songs traffic in sad-key, Alanis Morissette-style piano ballads. It's a glorious, confusing mess, and it all adds up to a wink and a nod...or maybe it doesn't.

Unbelievable they are discontinuing this. This is my favorite shade from the butters. It's a milky lavender color and gorgeous on cool tone skin. I am NW20 and I have gotten a bunch of compliments when I have worn this.
As with all the butters they don't last for a long time but the color and formula is amazing. Revlon please don't ditch this color!

For the person below: I found this (along with several other shades) at Big Lots last week for $2 each! This is a pretty, moisturizing lavender shade on my lips. Staying power isn't super but I don't mind- I don't reach for these with the intent of them being long-wearing.

Here I sit again with a sheer moisturizing, (as one reviewer describes...milky)lavender purplish pink lipcolor that I LOVE and Revlon has to go and discontinue my favorite shade. This looks great on light olive toned skin like mine. Does anyone know where I can get this still???? I put I would not buy again because obviously I can't because they did away with it for some other new not so favorite shades.

Gumdrop is not as purple as it looks in the tube. On the mouth, it's a sheer, milky, pinky-lavender with a glossy sheen. My lips are more pigmented, though, so those with paler lips might find this to be a truer purple. This shade is a bit stiffer than my other Lip Butters-still soft and creamy, just a little more solid. This product looks okay from a normal distance, but I notice that up close, it definitely looks uneven, and it only gets worse if your lips touch, as they're bound to do. This product is sheerer and designed to be less long-wearing, but I still pulled around 3 hours of wear, which isn't bad. When it comes to moisturizing my lips, I found this to be just average-my lips weren't worse for wear, but it's definitely not as good as a balm.

I have tried 5 or 6 of the lip butters all the more cooler toned colors and this is hands down been my favorite. I go through these so fast cuz I wear them more as everyday around the house. I stopped buying them cuz I have over a hundred lip colors tried to use some...Now I can't find this shade..I've seen people saying they bought it on clearance...which doesn't sou d to good...I have the lip whisper lavender for awhile which is about the same color but don't feel anywhere as nice. It is an awesome color for us cool toned people.

Urgh! I wanted to like this so much after reading all the rave reviews but the formula doesn't work for me. It feels dry and clumpy, looks blotchy on me. If I could give it a zero, I would.

Obsessed. This is an HG product for me, but unfortunately, it is getting harder and harder to find in stores. The coverage is sheer-ish, but is more pigmented than many comparable products. The color is a lovely soft nude lavender that really complements my skin tone. I go through the tubes rather quickly (about one tube every 2-3 weeks), but luckily the price is reasonable.
Two of my local Targets have stopped carrying it, which leads me to wonder if it is being phased out of the lineup altogether. As of two weeks ago my local Ulta still carries it. If it eventually disappears, I will be heartbroken.
MUAers, if you love Gumdrop, head to your beauty retailers en masse to make sure it stays on shelves!

I was in the mood to buy a purple sheer shaded lip colour and liked how Lip Butters promise to be smoother and not a full on color punch when you want something light and sheer.
This product is smooth and moisturizing for your lips so it's definitely not dry, which is good.
This color is more like a sheer pastel purple which is pretty to look at in the tube and goes on exactly the same soft color when you put it on. Wearing it for a few hours it can turn your lips into a patchy, uneven, light color because it doesn't wear well throughout the day.
This particular color is just meh for me, I wouldn't buy it again because I hate worrying if my lips look pastey and crusty with a light lip color on and have to check my mirror when I'm on the go. I would say take a pass on this one even if it's a great price and not very expensive, save your money and buy something that looks better throughout the day.

I love this lip butter! If you're too "scared" to do a full on lilac lip use this! You can either put it on so it's sheer or you can make it a pretty opaque lilac color. It also feels really good on your lips. I can even use these without putting chap stick on and it's no problem! Hope it never gets discontinued! :)

I love this color!!!!!!! Revlon really makes the best lipsticks!!!!! Their lip butter line is a little more sheer but is great when you want a little pop of color!!!! The gumdrop shade is just the prettiest pale lilac you've ever seen!!!!! It's a fun kinda trendy color that is actually really wearable!!!!! Love it!!!!! And the ormula is really creamy and your lips really will feel like butter!!!!

|"It's a pity they died..."
Someone died, who are they going to haunt? Does the person/people being haunted ever learn about the haunting? What happens next? Do they meet Freddy Kruger? ...He's scary, I wouldn't want to meet him, but I bet Buffy could take him.
I'd prefer cross genre- or cross- medium hauntings, but really it's up to you. Please note I count cartoon/anime and live action stuff separate mediums.
So perhaps Joey from YGO haunts Xander, or perhaps Buffy or Willow would be more up his alley. Or Buffy haunts Yugi!
...Or someone's being haunted by a chain of increasingly weird people.
But please, don't think I just want a Yu-Gi-O! / Buffy cross. Its whatever you think of with Buffy or Angel.

Looks like FNBO came out with a secured card. As well as Union Bank since FNBO owns its credit cards.
Union Bank:https://www.unionbank.com/personal-banking/loans-l
never in a million years saw this one coming lol
i tought FNBO was a very conservative bank
well im sure this is a good chance for someone trying to establish or rebuild their credit history
with a big bank
i wonder what are the requirements for aproval ?????

A pulse, money, and a credit file?
*edit: looking at another "site," I've noticed they'll go as low as mid 6's for their standard products, so I'd guess it's probably mid 5's as a low. After all, you're providing them with an interest free deposit for them to use.
FNBO has offered this for years. Not sure what the criteria is to setting it up etc. It was originally designed to help their local banking customers who needed to establish credit to get a secured card to help them build. THe problem is that they are so conservative that a person struggling with credit cannot open an account with them. You use to have to have a fairly decent credit score to have a checking account with them. Not sure if that has changed in the past few years or not.

Since its introduction 20 years ago, the FICO® Score has become a global standard for measuring credit risk in the banking, mortgage, credit card, auto and retail industries. 90 of the top 100 largest U.S. financial institutions use the FICO Score to make consumer credit decisions.>> About myFICO

One of the most unusual parts of working in the food industry is acknowledging obscure food holidays. April, for instance, is "National Grilled Cheese Month." There are certainly other important dates in April (Easter, my anniversary and my birthday, to name a few), but we will be putting time aside to celebrate melted cheese on toast.
It's the year of the goat. Everywhere I turn: goat dinners, goat tacos, goat talk. This means I should let you in on a little secret about Leonora. It's the most luscious Spanish goat cheese on the planet. The texture is gooey-soft, and it comes in a slightly flattened brick that looks like a melting ice cream cake roll. If you've sworn off sweets for Lent, you might want to pick up some Leonora for dessert.
I never grew up eating Pecorino, but this winter it's become my go-to cheese to serve with soups. The nutty flavor of this quintessential Italian specialty comes from sheep's milk, and because it's a rich, fatty cheese a few curls shaved onto a broth add beautiful dimension.
As far as I'm concerned, cheese and coffee make up their own food groups. The dynamic flavors and chemistries attainable by both of these items allow for thousands of different possibilities. I've had a long-term relationship with coffee for a few years now, while cheese is a slightly newer affair (luckily coffee hadn't caught wind of it). Leading up to this past weekend, I decided it was time to introduce coffee to my mistress.
9th Street cheesemonger Mark Bomalaski and VP of Culinary Pioneering Emilio Mignucci make a goat cheese pizza using Caprichio de Cabra (Spanish goat cheese), Pantaleo (Sardinian goat cheese), kalamata olives, and arugula.
9th Street Cheesemonger Mark Bomalaski and Emilio Mignucci show us how to make a simple, but delicious Pizza with Fresh Dough, Roasted Tomatoes, Taleggio, Fontina, Rotondo Dolce Prosciutto, and Baby Spinach.
So it's that time of year again, That special time where the leaves turn orange, and yellow, the nights come sooner than usual and the weather turns brisk and chilly. While others argue that Fall means the end of tanning on the beach, shorts and outdoor activities, I see fall as a perfect excuse to cuddle up with a loved one under a blanket and enjoy those wonderful beers that the heat of summer may not have allowed.
Learn about Jamon Iberico, one of Spain's most exquisite cured hams, from Di Bruno Bros. Culinary Specialist Tommy Amorim.
Chef Rob Sidor and Emilio Mignucci share a simple recipe using burrata: roasted squash and beets with applewood smoked bacon, arugula, and Di Bruno Bros. own homemade burrata.
As we enter the season of decadence, I can't help but crave Roquefort. It's as luxurious as fur, and it pairs well with so many things associated with the winter season: ripe pears, dates, figs, honey, walnuts. After a big meal, this triple-crème sheep's milk blue becomes the evening's star, especially when served with a glass of nectar-like Sauternes.

Gear Question

Member since
Does it have the same "surfy ride" as the skate banana? I like that it's softer!
Member since
The Chillydog tech provides a super fun and catch free ride. The Chillydog feel is way looser than the skate banana.

Albemarle Supports EPA Efforts To Address PBDEs
BATON ROUGE, La. , July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In a letter to Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) today offered its support of the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to finalize its proposed actions on Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Such action will ensure that decaBDE will not be imported into the United States after December 31, 2013. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111129/MM14279LOGO )
BATON ROUGE, La. , July 10, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- In a letter to Administrator Lisa P. Jackson, Albemarle Corporation (NYSE: ALB) today offered its support of the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to finalize its proposed actions on Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs). Such action will ensure that decaBDE will not be imported into the United States after December 31, 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111129/MM14279LOGO )
In the letter, Dr. David Clary, Albemarle's Chief Sustainability Officer, commented, "Albemarle supports the EPA proposal to amend the PBDE SNUR to designate manufacturing, importing, or processing of decaBDE for any use which is not ongoing after December 31, 2013 as a significant new use. Further, Albemarle supports the EPA's efforts to promulgate a test rule for PBDEs if it determines that manufacture (including import) or processing of PBDEs has not ceased by December 31, 2013."
Albemarle, in cooperation with the EPA, announced a voluntary phase out of its production of decaBDE in 2009. The company is on schedule to cease commercial production of decaBDE entirely by the end of 2012 in accordance with its agreement with EPA and will limit commercial sales within the United States in 2013 to only transportation and military applications requiring that additional transition time.
While many science-based and peer-reviewed studies have shown decaBDE to be safe in its intended use, Albemarle is committed to delivering safe and effective products with increasingly smaller environmental footprints. The company's proactive innovation has allowed it to bring two polymeric flame retardants to market in the last few years: GreenArmor and GreenCrest. These polymeric flame retardants, marketed under the Earthwise ™ portfolio, represent the latest fire safety technology and provide additional certainty about product safety as they can't be absorbed by animal or human cells. GreenCrest has successfully completed review by EPA's New Chemicals Program and GreenArmor has been submitted for such a review.About Albemarle Albemarle Corporation, headquartered in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is a leading global developer, manufacturer, and marketer of highly-engineered specialty chemicals for consumer electronics, petroleum refining, utilities, packaging, construction, automotive/transportation, pharmaceuticals, crop protection, food-safety and custom chemistry services. The Company is committed to global sustainability and is advancing its eco-practices and solutions in its three business segments, Polymer Solutions, Catalysts and Fine Chemistry.

Hey I was wondering what you guys use for a chain guide for the nomad. I know its not ISCG so I was wondering if there were some good ones and bad ones to get. I've read some good reviews and presonally use the Gamut on my DH bike but I already have a bashgaurd on my Nomad, so I'm trying to avoid buying a chain guide system that has a bashgaurd.
Little info:
Cranks are Truvativ Stylo and I've taken the big ring and the granny ring off and running a 1x9 with a 32T or 34T ring. I converted it last week and where I ride the chain jumps off constantly so its starting to get annoying. I just need to get off my lazy but and order one up and install it!!

Findings of Institutional Requirements for Interoperable Smartcard Fare Payment Systems 15 � Establishing a governing body or project sponsor, � Identifying and mitigating operational differences, � Establishing a framework for program funding, � Creating a rollout schedule, and � Developing a contracting strategy. 2.1.1 Establishing a Governing Body or Project Sponsor One of the primary challenges of implementing an interoperable fare payment system in a multi-agency environment is encouraging agencies to work together for the overall good of the region and riding public. In many areas of the United States and Canada, transit agencies work autonomously toward accommodating the needs of their patrons. As a result, agencies become accustomed to controlling all decisions. Operational decisions are made that preclude the shar- ing of resources and limit effective cooperation with peer agencies. One of the first steps in implementing any regional fare payment system is to establish a gov- ernance structure, which will identify the institutional oversight structure and define the following: � Items under regional control, � Documentation of the governing structure, and � Participant representation. The governing body oversees the common elements of the interoperable fare payment system, which may include third-party services. Table 4 lists the different types of governing bodies. Par- ticipation in a governing body may require an agency to cede complete control over the common elements of the interoperable system. Even agencies that have an excellent working relationship may find adapting to a common governing body challenging. The planning and implementation of a smartcard-based interoperable fare payment project is a long and often difficult process. Once the governing body is established, a project sponsor needs to emerge to direct the effort and provide leadership for the participants. It is critical that the full commitment and support of the member agencies are obtained and that a clear management Table 4. Overview of different types of governing bodies.

16 Smartcard Interoperability Issues for the Transit Industry structure is in place before starting planning and design. The three most common types of proj- ect sponsorship are lead agency, regional planning organization, and management committee. 18.104.22.168 Lead Agency Delegating project management to one lead agency may be an option in a region where a regional transportation planning organization does not exist or where one agency has the criti- cal mass for establishing a system for meeting its own needs cost-effectively. The system imple- mented by the lead agency is used by the other participants. All participants share the cost of common services, but pay separately for any additional capabilities to meet their specific needs. A lead agency's responsibilities are similar to those of the regional planning organization. In gen- eral, a project often benefits from a shorter design and implementation schedule when a lead agency is responsible; this can result in cost savings. The challenge for the lead agency is estab- lishing the agreements with the participating agencies. 22.214.171.124 Regional Planning Organization The project may also be managed by a regional transportation planning organization. A regional planning organization's responsibilities are similar to those of a lead agency and man- agement committee. For this option, the regional planning organization solicits each member agency for input on agency-specific issues before making design decisions. The project often ben- efits from a shorter design and implementation schedule--this can result in cost savings; how- ever, the specific needs of participating agencies may be overlooked or not fully addressed in the interest of moving the project forward. 126.96.36.199 Management Committee Regions that lack a lead agency or a regional planning organization to champion the inter- operable fare payment project may elect to form a management committee to oversee the project. Each of the participating agencies is represented on the management committee. Each of the member agencies on a management committee can actively participate in project decisions. The management committee must be established early in the project life cycle in order to avoid spending valuable time and resources revisiting early project decisions. Management committee responsibilities may include critical functions such as � Preparing a governance plan--A governance plan documents the rules and bylaws by which the interoperable project operates, including areas such as dispute resolution and decision- making regarding new service offerings and addressing member agencies that leave or join the program; � Identifying the type of integrator contract--This includes identifying the types of services pro- cured or addressed in house and who will act as the contract administrator; � Assigning member roles and responsibilities--This includes how and when design reviews are completed and obligations regarding attendance at project meetings; � Drafting interagency agreements--This addresses subjects such as project cost allocations and information-sharing arrangements; and � Developing technical direction--This includes adherence to established standards and adop- tion of system features. A management committee structure requires special consideration of the contracting strat- egy. Given that contracting relationships must be formed between two legal entities, the man- agement committee may need to assign a lead agency or a regional planning organization as the contract owner for the project. Based on the surveys conducted for this project, governance issues are being resolved for most of the projects. Most projects proceed without first establishing the governing body. Projects

Life.is.sucky.I "stood up" Ryan last night. I didn't *mean* to. It just happened. Which I'm sorry and stupid for not calling him to let him know I wouldn't make it. I'm never *that* flaky, I usually call when I know I can't make it, but I guess the shock of my father (my step-father, not the son-of-a-bitch that "donated" the sperm ie -- impregnated my mother) being sick totally made me unlike myself. But *she shrugged slightly* looks like he dealt. Which congrats to him and Wade by the way, for being together and all. And Eliza's deleted. Which really fucking sucks because she was my only "buffy bitch" around here ;) and then there are people leaving all of a sudden. Which really blows, I hate that. People leaving. But yeah anyway, damn where is the alcohol at? *she grumbled slightly and went in search for a bottle of jack*

You may have decided again and again, and again and again you have failed - not because smoking is such a great phenomenon that you cannot get out of it, but because you are trying from the wrong end. Rather than becoming aware of the whole situation - why you smoke in the first place - rather than becoming aware of the process of smoking, you are simply trying to drop it. It is like pruning the leaves of a tree without cutting the roots.
And my whole concern here is to cut the roots, not to prune the tree. By pruning the leaves and the branches the tree will become thicker, the foliage will become thicker. You will not destroy the tree; you will be helping it, in fact. If you really want to get out of it you will have to look deeper, not into the symptoms but the roots. Where are the roots?
You must be a deeply anxiety-ridden person, otherwise chain-smoking is not possible; chain-smoking is a by-product. You must be so concerned about a thousand and one disturbances inside, you must be carrying such a big load of worries on your heart, on your chest, that you don't even know how to forget them. You don't know how to drop them - smoking at least helps you to forget about them. You say: "I have tried hard."
Now one thing has to be understood. The hypnotists have discovered a fundamental law; they call it the Law of Reverse Effect. If you try hard to do something without understanding the fundamentals, just the opposite will be the result.
It is like when you are learning how to ride on a bicycle. You are on a silent road, no traffic, early in the morning, and you see a red milestone just standing there by the side of the road like Hanuman. A sixty-foot-wide road and just a small milestone, and you become afraid: you may get to the milestone, you may hit against the milestone. Now you forget about the sixty-foot-wide road. In fact, even if you go blindfolded there is not much chance of your encountering the milestone, crashing into the milestone, but with open eyes now the whole road is forgotten; you have become focused. In the first place, that redness is very focusing. And you are so much afraid! - you want to avoid it. You have forgotten that you are on a bicycle; you have forgotten everything. Now the only problem for you is how to avoid this stone; otherwise you may harm yourself, you may crash into it.
Now the crash is absolutely inevitable; you are bound to crash with the stone. And then you will be surprised: "I tried hard." In fact it is because you tried hard that you reached the stone. And the closer you come, the harder you try to avoid it; but the harder you try to avoid it, the more focused you become on it. It becomes a hypnotic force, it hypnotizes you. It becomes like a magnet.
It is a very fundamental law in life. Many people try avoiding many things and they fall into the same things. Try to avoid anything with great effort and you are bound to fall into the same pit. You cannot avoid it; that is not the way to avoid it.
Be relaxed. Don't try hard, because it is through relaxation that you can become aware, not by trying hard. Be calm, quiet, silent.

Oprah Winfrey debuts her 'OWN' channel
Talk Show
Queen Oprah Winfrey is launching her own cable channel Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN), which is set to streams live into 85 million US homes.
Winfrey, 56, has had a successful run of 35 years on 'The Oprah Winfrey
Show' since it was first launched in 1986.
Los Angeles-based OWN shares a contract with Discovery Health Channel that was initially set to launch in 2008 and will be finally launched today after three years of delay, Chicago Sun-Times reported.
"I'm really just trying to get on the air. I'm trying to think of the role OWN is going to play on January 2, and the 3rd and the 4th," Winfrey said.
From the couch-jumping episode of Tom Cruise to interviewing Bollywood couple Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan, Winfrey has come a long way.
Winfrey says she was initially reluctant to end her hugely popular daytime show.
"What I realized is the 'Oprah' show has had its time and its run and its ability to affect and influence, and that now it's time for something else," she said.
OWN, a 24-hour cable channel, will feature programmes that aim to guide viewers and establish itself as a "force of good" a platform that helps people "see the best of themselves," she added.
The innumerable talk shows that have played out in the US living rooms for so many years will also be re-run for some time on OWN until Winfrey develops more programmes and finds a stronghold in the cable channel market.
On OWN, the multiple Emmy Award winner will feature a cooking series with Cristina Ferrare, a sex advice show with Dr Laura Berman, style makeovers with Carson Kressley, a
series about the mother-daughter relationship of Naomi and
Wynonna Judd, a "docu-reality" series about women prisoners in Indiana and TV release of film 'Precious'. She will also be seen in the series "Oprah Presents Master Class" and "Your OWN Show: Oprah's Search for the Next TV Star".
Discovery Health, one of DISCA's channels, is ending and being rebranded as the OWN. Winfrey's production company and Discovery Communications each own a 50 per cent stake in the new network. Shares of Discovery Communications (DISCA) were trading higher today on the eve of OWN's debut.

Southwestern American Literature is a biannual scholarly journal that includes literary criticism, fiction, poetry, and book reviews concerning the Greater Southwest.
Since its inception in 1971, the journal has published premier works by and about some of the most significant writers of the region.
Southwestern American Literature is indexed in The MLA International Bibliography, which can be found in most North American and European higher-education institutions, and Humanities International Complete, which can be found in libraries throughout North America.
© Center for the Study of the Southwest, Texas State University.
Current Issue: Volume 39. Number 2 - Spring 2014
This veterans' issue compounds the momentum of last fall, as it embodies an experience, point-of-view, and voice in our region—in our country —that is often misunderstood, misrepresented, and/or overshadowed by long-established social and literary conventions.
When we started this project, our mission was to provide a multifaceted perspective of our men and women who join the military, serve our country, and return to civilian life. To accumulate this perspective, we opened submissions to veterans, current service men and women, and family members and friends of veterans. Hoping to provide a genuine, dynamic presentation of the military experience, we also opened submissions to atypical forms, including but not limited to personal testimonies, song lyrics, journal entries, and historical documents. As a result, you will read personal narratives that recount psychosis, prejudice, disconnection, and tribute. You will encounter song lyrics that express disillusionment. You will find contributors' service details and statements attesting the role writing played during and after military life. You will receive the perspectives of an ex-wife, a son, a daughter, and a friend.

Nov. 29 (Bloomberg) -- The cost for European banks to fund in dollars rose to the highest level since October 2008 for a fifth day, indicating a longer-lasting credit crunch than that following the collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc.
The three-month cross-currency basis swap, the rate banks pay to convert euro payments into dollars, was 154 basis points below the euro interbank offered rate at 1:40 p.m. in London, from minus 149 basis points yesterday. The gap has widened from as little as minus 8 basis points on May 4.
Euro-area finance chiefs meeting today in Brussels are under pressure to contain the region's two-year debt crisis that threatens global economic growth. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development lowered its global growth forecast yesterday for this year and next, citing Europe's debt crisis as the main threat.
Banks face more sustained funding pressure compared with 2008, because investors "are panicking about the exposure to sovereign debt and any fallout from a potential breakup of the euro," said Marchel Alexandrovich, an economist at Jefferies International Ltd. in London. "Until the political mess is resolved and there is clarity on the future of the euro, banks are going to be shrinking their balance sheets, hitting economic growth in the process," he said.
The one-year basis swap was at 103 basis points under Euribor, compared with minus 104 basis points yesterday, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.
The Euribor-OIS spread, a measure of banks' reluctance to lend to one another, rose one basis point to 94 basis points, data compiled by Bloomberg shows. A basis point is 0.01 percentage point. The spread, which is the difference between the borrowing benchmark and overnight index swaps, was at 98 basis points on Nov. 3, the widest since March 2009.
Lenders increased overnight deposits at the European Central Bank, placing 281 billion euros ($375 billion) with the Frankfurt-based ECB yesterday, up from 256 billion euros on Nov. 25.
Three-month Euribor, the rate banks say they pay for three- month loans in euros, was unchanged from yesterday at 1.477 percent. One-week Euribor fell to 0.905 percent from 0.909 percent yesterday.
The dollar London interbank offered rate, or Libor, for three-month dollar loans rose to 0.527 percent from 0.523 percent yesterday.
