Could the Aussie banks outperform?
Page 1 of 1
While the banks have begun to stabilise in relative-performance terms, there is insufficient evidence to suggest they are about to outperform the broader market, technical analyst Lesley Beath says.
As far as global equity markets are concerned, Australia took the wooden spoon last week. The All Ords declined by 2.4 per cent, whereas the best performer, the Japanese Nikkei, was up 3.5 per cent.
European equity markets fared well, while the smaller Asian markets were mixed.
In the US, the major indices were marginally higher. Once again the US Banks Index was one of best performers, adding another 2.2 per cent.
The index gained 7 per cent in August. It pushed through lateral resistance during the week, confirming the break of the 2015 downtrend.
European and Japanese banks also performed well over the month, with the Euro Stoxx Banks Index up 6.4 per cent and the Topix Banks Sub-Index up 7.4 per cent (according to the Financial Times, 31 August).
In comparison, the ASX Banks Index declined by 2.3 per cent in August. Tthe ASX Banks Accumulation index posted a 1.4 per cent loss.
The action in the US equity market, as I said last week, is a little disconcerting as the major indices trade in a tight range. But they are holding up at this stage, so there are no real cracks in the price action.
The Dow Transport Index remains below its key barrier--a 1.8 per cent rise last week pushed the index closer to that lateral resistance.
The VIX tumbled on Friday, giving up the gains (albeit marginal) of the past couple of weeks. It signals a high degree of complacency, as it has since mid-July. However, that doesn't constitute a sell signal.
I remain cautious on the US equity market at this stage, but it has yet to register a confirmed sell signal.
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I expected the US to underperform its European peers, and that is still the case.
We have been watching the German DAX and its break of the 2015 downtrend--the French CAC confirmed a similar break last week. Spain and Italy have also pushed above resistance.
In Japan, both the Nikkei and the Topix are below their 2015 downtrends. They are now in close proximity to their 200DMA. As such, they are approaching an important barrier.
Action in both indices appears constructive, but whether or not they can break topside is uncertain.
As I mentioned earlier, Australian equities had a poor week. Resource stocks weighed heavily on the market, with the ASX Materials Index down by almost 4 per cent. The ASX 100 Resources declined by a similar amount.
That kept the various resource/industrial ratios (that have been highlighted in recent reports) below the resistance that we have been monitoring.
We will be keeping a close eye on these ratios, in an attempt to determine whether or not the run of outperformance by the resource stocks, since early this year, is finished.
If so, and that is not confirmed at this stage, could it be the banks that will outperform?
Let's think about that.
In July, the ASX Banks Index pushed above the downtrend linking the August 2015, December 2015 and the May 2016 highs. However, the index failed to make much headway as it was unable to break above lateral resistance.
The index has drifted lower since early August and is now back at the downtrend. A quick turnabout is needed if the index is avoid retreating into the downtrend.
(One could argue the correct downtrend on which to focus is that which emanates from the March 2015 all-time high. If we look at that one, it was broken some time ago. But in my opinion, I think the August 2015 is the one to watch.)
The weak performance by the banking sector in August was due to Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA) and Westpac (ASX: WBC). The former traded ex-dividend and ended the month 7 per cent lower. Westpac dropped 5 per cent.
The other two majors advanced. CBA is now probing the lows of the past 12 months. As those lows represent a 50 per cent retracement of the 2011-2015 advance they act as substantial support.
If broken, the next downside target is toward the $64 level. So it is important that recent lows are not violated.
Westpac is trading below its declining 200DMA, whereas National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB) is now testing that average. Australian and New Zealand Banking Group (ASX: ANZ) is the only one of the big four trading above it.
At this stage, although the banks have begun to stabilise in relative-performance terms, I do not think there is sufficient evidence to suggest they are about to outperform the broader market. Let's keep a close eye on the situation.
On a different subject, it is interesting to note there are a number of stocks that have retreated to their 200DMA.
Regular readers will know the importance of the 200DMA and the fact it can act as support in a rising trend. In fact, it is not uncommon for price to retreat to that average during a corrective phase.
At times, in a sharply rising trend, the 200DMA can sit at a significant distance below the current price level.
We looked at Bellamy's (ASX: BAL) and The A2 Milk Company (ASX: A2M) a few weeks ago, noting that price fell some 40 per cent before testing the average. But that is not the norm, and in most cases, the distance from the 200DMA will not be as large.
At the moment, the stocks which have pulled back to their 200DMA include: CSL Limited (ASX: CSL), Transurban (ASX: TCL), Westfield Corporation (ASX: WFD), Brambles (ASX: BXB), Alumina Limited (ASX: AWC), Adelaide Brighton (ASX: ABC), and gold stocks Northern Star (ASX: NST) and Perseus Mining (ASX: PRU).
Given these stocks are diverse, I think their near-term action may give some guidance as to the health of the broader market. A break of the 200DMA would be a negative development.
Among the others are, AGL Energy Limited (ASX: AGL), Origin Energy (ASX: ORG), Woodside Petroleum (ASX: WPL), and Santos (ASX: STO).
In the case of the latter three, the pullback to the 200DMA comes early in the new uptrend, so there has been little price erosion. There is no threat to the uptrend at this stage, but I would not want to see too much more weakness.
Qantas (ASX: QAN) on the other hand rallied up to its 200DMA the week before last and subsequently declined.
The average will act as a significant barrier. Price needs to break above the August high at $3.58 to improve the profile.

Joachim K. "Joe" Loeber
Joachim K. "Joe" Loeber, master artist and teacher, died Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2013 at his home in Key West after challenging terminal cancer for more than six months.
He passed his 93rd birthday on July 8, and continued his artist workshop there until shortly before his death.
Key West was his home from 1973, although there were years of shared residence and teaching with his first home in Westfield, N.J.
Mr. Loeber was an artist of great accomplishment over a long life that spanned Germany and Europe, then America: New Jersey, and Key West, Fla.
Born in 1920 in Sorau, Germany, and a portrait painter from childhood, Joachim "Joe" Loeber entered the Berlin Academy of Fine Arts at the age of 16. But in Hitler Germany, he was appalled as he saw the arts becoming a propaganda medium, with abstract art outlawed. So, while pursuing formal studies at the academy, he also began working actively with a clandestine neo-Bauhaus group of international young artists under the guidance of professors including H. M. Th. Dannenberg.
Through the sponsorship of Professor Arnold Waldschmit, Mr. Loeber was introduced to the eminent abstract expressionist master Edvard Munch in Norway.
Resistant to the realities of life in Hitler Germany, the red-haired rebellious young Loeber managed to survive and paint with whatever resources were available.
He was deeply interested from youth in the art of creative masters including Klee, Kandinsky, Picasso, Feininger. But he was also a classically trained portrait artist and muralist, and those skills helped him after World War II to become a professor of art in Germany, and then emigrate to America with his small family.
In post-war Germany in 1948, Mr. Loeber was invited to head the Department of Art in the Erlangen Army Education Center, affiliate of the University of Maryland. There, in addition to administrative duties as department head, Professor Loeber conducted classes, held lecture courses, and painted numerous murals and portraits, also completing 24 stained glass windows for the Education Center Library there. His portraits included powerful generals and other military leaders.
Drawing ultimately from his creative resources of German expressionist and abstract painting, Joachim "Joe" Loeber emerged over a long lifetime from classical portraits and landscapes into powerful abstract and semi-abstract paintings with amazingly diverse talents and skills that developed in Europe and reached full expression in America, where he emigrated in 1952.
In the United States, he was popular as both a lecturer in art, and a researcher of art materials and the chemistry of art, working to develop products such as a "gel" medium and do experimental testing with his friend the late Ralph Mayer, author of "The Artist's Handbook," a classic reference for professional artists, and several leaders of companies including Utrecht.
During his years in New Jersey, the artist counted as one of his good friends the late artist Ben Shahn, whose book "The Shape of Content" was published in 1957 and based on a series of six lectures that Mr. Shahn gave during a term as a Harvard University Professor.
After emigrating to the U.S. and opening a private studio in Westfield, N.J., Mr. Loeber taught private and semi-private classes and conducted a master workshop for promising students, a practice he also continued in Key West for more than 35 years.
While teaching at the Summit Art Center (now New Jersey Center for Visual Arts) for years, he was also elected president of the New Jersey Academy of Fine Arts. During that time, he also conducted European study trips and was featured in a one-man show preceding a Chagall exhibition at the Rau Gallery in Bamberg, Germany. He later served as president of the Painters and Sculptors Society in New Jersey.
In Key West, where he "fell in love with the city, the location and the people," he was featured in a one-man show with the Key West Art and Historical Society at the East Martello Gallery and Museum. At the time, critic Stephen Langford in The Key West Citizen wrote "The greatness of Joachim K. Loeber would warrant guiding busloads of schoolchildren through his exhibit, in order to show them what a master painter was doing in the year of our Bicentennial. Here is an enormous talent. As a colorist he would rank with Vasareky; his mastery of design is without equal in these parts; his versatility is such that to list his favorite themes would sound like an index to an art encyclopedia. He has no style, so varied and brilliant is each work..."
After settling full-time in his Key West home in the 1970s, Mr. Loeber and his wife Irene, also an artist known professionally as Irene Stanton, shared their large, airy studio space, and over the years welcomed many students and guests to their studio and gallery.
Joe Loeber has also exhibited his work at the Gallery on Greene in Key West.
Insistently maintaining his personal privacy as an artist, Mr. Loeber supported the arts in Key West, including regular contributions to the Anne McKee Artists Fund Auction, and donations including his "Treasure King," a large oil painting that reflected his personal awareness of the triumph and tragedy of the quest of the late Mel Fisher and his family for lost Spanish treasure galleons, which was given to the Fisher family.
In 1997, featured as "Loeber: A Singular Artist" in The Key West Citizen, the artist voiced a principal theme: "Art to me should make the invisible visible, and the common uncommon...."
Artist, painter of diverse skills and choices of media, Joe Loeber always emphasized "Life is what I am trying to express in my art work."
He is survived by his wife Irene; two sons by a previous marriage; three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
As no memorial services are planned, family suggestions would be for contributions to the Hospice and Visiting Nurse Association of the Florida Keys, 1319 William St., Key West, FL 33040. Dean-Lopez Funeral Home is handling arrangements.

Mexican driver Sergio Perez looks set to be on his way out of McLaren after just one season with the British team.
Perez has posted an open letter on his Twitter page, thanking McLaren "for giving me the opportunity to be with them this season" and wishing the team "the very best in the future."
McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh says "no 2014 deal has yet been signed with any driver except Jenson (Button)."
Perez replaced Lewis Hamilton as Button's partner at McLaren and has won 35 points, failing to make a podium.
There are two races left in the 2013 season, in the United States and Brazil.

Scientists are using powerful analytical and imaging tools to study artworks from all ages, delving deep below the surface to reveal the process and materials used by some of the world's greatest artists.
Northwestern University chemist Richard P. Van Duyne, in collaboration with conservation scientists at the Art Institute of Chicago, has been using a scientific method he discovered nearly four decades ago to investigate masterpieces by Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Winslow Homer and Mary Cassatt.
Van Duyne recently identified the chemical components of paint, now partially faded, used by Renoir in his oil painting "Madame Léon Clapisson." Van Duyne discovered the artist used carmine lake, a brilliant but light-sensitive red pigment, on this colorful canvas. The scientific investigation is the cornerstone of a new exhibition at the Art Institute of Chicago.
Van Duyne will discuss his research on Renoir's painting as well as his studies of Winslow Homer's watercolor "For to be a Farmer's Boy" and Mary Cassatt's pastel "Sketch of Margaret Sloane, Looking Right"at a Feb. 13 press briefing at the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) annual meeting in Chicago. The briefing, "Paintings: At and Under the Surface," will be held at 10 a.m. CST in Vevey Room 3 of the Swissôtel Chicago.
Van Duyne also will speak about "Detecting Organic Dyestuffs in Art with Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy" Friday, Feb. 14, at the AAAS meeting.
To see what the naked eye cannot see, Van Duyne used surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) to uncover details of Renoir's paint. SERS, discovered by Van Duyne in 1977, is widely recognized as the most sensitive form of spectroscopy capable of identifying molecules.
The show runs Feb. 12 through April 27 at the Art Institute of Chicago, 111 S. Michigan Ave. More information is available at http://www.artic.edu/exhibition/renoir-s-true-colors-science-solves-mystery.

Texas has racked up $282 billion in debt -- one of the highest state debts in the nation -- according to a report released today by a D.C.-area nonprofit.
"These deficit numbers are staggering and should be frightening to the American public. Due to budget gimmicks, many states fail to give an adequate picture of how much trouble they are really in," said Bob Williams, president of State Budget Solutions. "This report makes it clear that if legislators in Texas don't act immediately and decisively, their state will be facing a budget crises that we have never seen before."
Vermont, North Dakota and South Dakota were among the states with the smallest debts.
This report comes on the heels of a Fort Worth Star-Telegram story on budget gimmicks used by Texas lawmakers.
From the Star-Telegram story by Aman Batheja:
By delaying payments and effectively writing IOUs this year, lawmakers kicked billions of dollars in costs to the Legislature that will convene in 2013. At the same time, they arranged to collect hundreds of millions of dollars earlier than expected, preventing that money from being available in the next legislative session.
The financial maneuvers complicate assessments of the state's economic picture. While Gov. Rick Perry's presidential campaign has repeatedly touted him as having six balanced budgets under his belt, others don't agree, especially when looking at the current two-year budget.
"If he wants to say that, that's fine, but in all reality the budget is not balanced," said state Rep. Garnet Coleman of Houston, a Democratic leader in the House. "I believe it's disingenuous."
Talmadge Heflin, director of the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation's Center for Fiscal Policy and a former House member, is also critical of the one-time fixes and gimmicks lawmakers use to make budgets look good on paper. While this year's budget was technically balanced, Heflin said, "If you look at what will have to be spent in the biennium, you can certainly make the argument that from a practical standpoint ... it is not."
That's lower than Rhode Island's per-capita debt of $3,000 or Oregon's $2,960.
States with the lowest per-capita debt include Nebraska at $21, Wyoming at $78 and Indiana at $196.

|[jira] Commented: (LUCENE-709) [PATCH] Enable application-level management of IndexWriter.ramDirectory size
|Sat, 11 Nov 2006 01:57:38 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-709?page=comments#action_12448923 ] Chuck Williams commented on LUCENE-709: --------------------------------------- Mea Culpa! Bad bug on my part. Thanks for spotting it! I believe the solution is simple. RAMDirectory.files is a Hashtable, i.e. it is synchronized. Hashtable.values() tracks all changes to the ram directory as they occur. The fail-fast iterator does not accept concurrent modificaitons. So, the answer is to stop concurrent modifications during sizeInBytes(). This is accomplised by synchronizing on the same objects as the modificaitons already use, i.e. files. I'm attaching a new version of the the patch that I believe is correct. Please emabarass me again if there is another mistake! > [PATCH] Enable application-level management of IndexWriter.ramDirectory size > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: LUCENE-709 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-709 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 2.0.1 > Environment: All > Reporter: Chuck Williams > Attachments: ramDirSizeManagement.patch, ramDirSizeManagement.patch > > > IndexWriter currently only supports bounding of in the in-memory index cache using maxBufferedDocs, which limits it to a fixed number of documents. When document sizes vary substantially, especially when documents cannot be truncated, this leads either to inefficiencies from a too-small value or OutOfMemoryErrors from a too large value. > This simple patch exposes IndexWriter.flushRamSegments(), and provides access to size information about IndexWriter.ramDirectory so that an application can manage this based on total number of bytes consumed by the in-memory cache, thereby allow a larger number of smaller documents or a smaller number of larger documents. This can lead to much better performance while elimianting the possibility of OutOfMemoryErrors. > The actual job of managing to a size constraint, or any other constraint, is left up the applicatation. > The addition of synchronized to flushRamSegments() is only for safety of an external call.

Install a dishwasher in an existing kitchen cabinet
I finally snagged a dishwasher and we need to know how to go about removing the existing kitchen cabinet. I can post pictures later if needed. The cabinets are site built and there are no seams between the individual cabinets. It has a drawer and a middle and lower shelf.
Any advice or 'thou shalt nots' will be appreciated.
[Water supply and electrical are no problem.]
Well, basically you need to cut out a 24" section. You say they are built in. Is that last year or 40 years ago? With no joints you will need to make one or two pretty precise cuts depending on if your DW placement is in between cabs or at the end. You can also cut the opening an inch larger and cover the cuts with corner moulding. Depending on the top is fastened could present another problem. Many tops were nailed screwed into the cabs from the top. If this is the case you will either have to break away the cabs (bad idea) or cut the fasteners with a sawzall.
Once you have the opening it jut a matter of running the electric and plumbing. You said no problem there.
Don't forget to support the counter top if this DW is going on the end.
I really appreciate your feed-back. Actually the house is 24 years old. The D/W will be sitting between two cabinets so I hope the counter top won't be an issue. Anyway, it's a cheezy old formica top and will be replaced next year. And I'm thinking the sawzall will be what we have to use.
I would expect we would 1st remove the drawer from the cabinet, draw our horizontal lines on the shelves and vertical lines cabinet face [minding the bubble, of course.] Then I would expect we would 1st remove the middle shelf. Since the shelf is one long piece that extends into the next cabinet, the remainder will have to be braced some how. Will it be enough to just add a cleat to the back side of the front of the cabinet beneath the shelf? All it holds is some bake ware, no great amount of weight.
I would expect that actually removing the cabinet face would be next and the lower shelf, and kickspace last.
This question is probably a little late to ask but when the dishwasher is described as 24" wide, is that the part that fits into the cabinet, or the part that you see from the front? [We are purchasing the dishwasher 2nd hand, it was a deal we could not refuse!]
On a job next week, we are retrofitting a dishwasher into existing lower cabinets.
I will post pics during and when we are done!
Wow, that would be great! If possible, can we see before-and-after pix?
I just noticed, you guys are just up the street from me, IH 35, that is :laughing:

What is an Actuary?
An actuary is a business professional who analyzes the financial consequences of risk. Actuaries use mathematics, statistics and financial theory to study uncertain future events, especially those of concern to insurance and pension programs. They evaluate the likelihood of those events, design creative ways to reduce the likelihood and decrease the impact of adverse events that actually do occur.
Actuaries are an important part of the management team of the companies that employ them. Their work requires a combination of strong analytical skills, business knowledge and understanding of human behavior to design and manage programs that control risk.
SOA members work in life insurance, retirement systems, health benefit systems, financial and investment management and other emerging areas of practice. The majority of actuaries work within the insurance industry, although a growing number of actuaries work in other fields.

Re: WWE 2004: Road to WrestleMania XX
Raw Feedback
Opening up with Triple H & Randy Orton made sense, giving them a one last chance to hype up their respective matches at Backlash by way of promo. What Triple H said was really well written, enjoyed it to be honest and couldn't really fault it. Randy Orton putting himself over but I think it's obvious he fears Foley/Cactus/Whatever. The Cell match between these two should be interesting, just don't for the love of god throw Cactus off the top of the Cell. Out comes Rocky and he's in typical Rocky fashion, I felt sorry for the fake Mankind & Dude Love here
Triple H & Orton take both Rock & Cactus out here so I expect to see Cactus/Rock gaining the win/upper hand in the match later on tonight. Overall, a good opening segment.
Garrison Cade in 2004 = Not interested. Didn't like him at all, especially under that God awful name Garrison, he needs to be repackaged imo before you even think about using him. Palumbo & The Bull could be a nice addition to the tag team division I think. Decent little Haas & Benjamin segment, got the job done tbh.
Not much to say about match one, when I saw the paragraph, I thought it was a match with a good length of etail but it just turned out to be Eugene fucking about. I'm hoping you don't use him too much tbh, granted he had an epic match with Triple H @ SummerSlam '04. Maybe you can eventually get a good storyline out of Eugene, maybe that he was on Retard Pills or something and he has been took off them and he turns into a normal character. The backstage segment sort of reminded me of real life, didn't Eric force Regal to train Eugene or something similar? Anyway, it got the job done I suppose.
Some detail! FTW! Bravo!
A nice little match here but you didn't give away too much which was good since they are now going to face at Backlash. Storm was so underrated and underused, I hope you can make him somewhat relevant and a proper Submission win over Ric Flair would do the job nicely I think because lets be honest, Flair doesn't need it.
Christian & Trish pulling out all the stops to dismantle Jericho, eh? Jericho kind of easily beat La Resistance, he didn't have much of a challenge tbh until he got his ass handed to him by all 3 of them but when A-Train came out, I'll be honest, I loved it. New Problem Solver for Christian? A-Train destroyed Jericho here. I can't see Jericho losing at Backlash now tbh, unless A-Train gets involved again so you can really get him over.
This has been annoying me for a while in this thread, it's Bubbah Ray not Buh Buh, he was Buh Buh in ECW but when he came to WWE he was renamed Bubbah. Just annoys me and felt I should point it out.
Bubbah getting the win was expected tbh but I'm not expecting the Dudleys to win at Backlash. Make the oldies put over the Young ones.
Evolution have a plan it seems? Interesting.
BRUTAL. Jesus Christ, the Cell coming down was expected because lets be honest, why else would it be in attendance? It was just a brawl here, Foley & Rock coming out on top was a nice touch, makes it less obvious who is going to win at Backlash now both sides have successful attacks in one night.
Eric laying down the law was a nice touch, hopefully a guarantee that we will have an epic Triple H/Rock encounter without Triple H needing his buddies to score a win.
Nice ending to Raw imo. Benoit's promo was very in character so it worked for me, failure not being an option showed some intensity to him. HBK's accomplishments hyped up by JR. I'm unsure about this but is HBK supposed to be a tweener/heel? Because that's what he came across as to me here. I honestly have no idea who will win this one, I actually think it could go either way but, having Benoit win would be the only option that makes sense, puts him over big time and makes him look like a legit main eventer. (As if beating HBK & HHH at WrestleMania wasn't enough.
Overall, it was a good show, not much in terms of matches but the promo's delivered on what they intended to do, hype for Backlash certainly looks good and I'll definitely be reading and popping a review in for that. Hoping for it to be in full too please.

Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street Looks Awesome
OK, now we're hyped.
Sure we liked Hugo, and The Departed was slick and entertaining and everything, but it would be pushing it to say that the great Martin Scorsese has made anything even close to his best work (Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, etc.) in recent years. Not that we're jumping the gun here and saying Scorsese the artiste is officially 'back'; but this trailer, scored to Kanye West's "Black Skinhead", has got us salivating at the mouth just a little.
Starring – take a deep breath – Leonardo DiCaprio, Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, Jean Dujardin, Jon Favreau, Rob Reiner and Spike Jonze (!!!), Scorsese's latest follows a New York stockbroker (DiCaprio) who refuses to cooperate in a large securities fraud case involving corruption on Wall Street, the corporate banking world and mob infiltration.
Who else is hyped?
The film will be released on November 15th in the U.S., and January 17th in the UK.

Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that eradicates sperm and is inserted vaginally prior to intercourse to prevent pregnancy.
Learning Objective
Describe spermicides as a birth control method
Key Points
- A spermicide is a type of contraceptive that kills sperm, and are used in combination with other contraceptive barrier methods such as condoms, sponges, and diaphragms.
- Nonoxynol-9 is the most commonly used spermicide. It is found in several forms, including gel, foam, and film.
- Spermicides have a failure rate of 18% per year when used correctly and consistently and 29% under typical use.
A substance used for killing sperm.
A spermicide that attacks the acrosomal membranes of the sperm, causing the sperm to be immobilized.
Full Text
Spermicide is a contraceptive substance that eradicates sperm and is inserted vaginally prior to intercourse to prevent pregnancy. As a contraceptive, spermicide may be used alone. However, the pregnancy rate experienced by couples using only spermicide is higher than that of couples using other methods. Spermicides have a failure rate of 18% per year when used correctly and consistently, and 29% under typical use. Usually spermicides are combined with contraceptive barrier methods such as diaphragms, condoms, cervical caps, and sponges. Combined methods are believed to result in lower pregnancy rates than either method alone. Spermicides cause irritation and according to the CDC, studies have shown that spermicides increase the risk of HIV.
The most common active ingredient of spermicides is nonoxynol-9. Spermicides containing nonoxynol-9 are available in many forms, such as jelly (gel), films, and foams, but are not recommended for use by the CDC. The World Health Organization says that spermicidally lubricated condoms should no longer be promoted. However, they recommend using a nonoxynol-9 lubricated condom over no condom at all.
Nonoxynol-9 has a number of possible side effects. These include irritation, itching, or the sensation of burning of the sex organs of either partner, and in women, urinary tract infections, yeast infection, and bacterial vaginosis. These side effects are uncommon; one study found that only 3-5% of women who try spermicides discontinue use due to side effects.
Spermicides are believed to increase the contraceptive efficacy of condoms. However, condoms that are spermicidally lubricated by the manufacturer have a shorter shelf life and may cause urinary-tract infections in women.
Concern has been raised over possible increased risk of birth defects in children conceived despite spermicide use, and also in children of women who, not yet aware of their condition, continued spermicide use during early pregnancy. However, a review in 1990 of large studies on spermicides concluded that there appears to be no increased risk of congenital anomalies, altered sex ratio, or early pregnancy loss among spermicide users.
Several types of spermicides exist
The most commons forms are creams or spermicidal sponges, both pictured here.

(nb the above is sarcasm tinged with disgust, all the more so because I can't find any indication it's not what ISU officials actually believe).
What bothered me about this case, was that it came out of nowhere (not even the rules, I believe). There was never any apology for Vise and Trent, and the new rule of next-in-line finally came into being. It's like 'Oh, that was a mistake, we'll fix it and move on' Nothing for the victims. It's somewhat like Cinquanta just eliminated the individual scores of the judges in 2003 which just came not so much of nowhere but from what I believe was fear. He even stopped the investigation and let France be the only one at fault. Again, let's fix it and move on.
I realize most fans are not that concerned about the ISU as long as they can watch figure skating somehow, and talk about the sport and are oblivious about its administration.
Just one more thing, Tony, if I may. That meeting they have in May to discuss changes; is their agenda ever published and if something was not taken up the reasons why would be given? The results of changes would, of couse become new rules. (Can't help but think about the US Supreme Court's dissenting opinions.)

1) In China, skaters on the national elite team (also applies to many other sports) are an arm and tool of the State. This is not a secret here. With the exception of high achievers on the international stage over a long period of time (such as a Shen/Zhao and that only in the last several years), Chinese skaters are means to national glory rather than individual glory. They are "owned" and they do know this--their training/housing/eating/all aspects of life are strictly controlled, in return for complete financial support from the Federation, and for some skaters...also their families...for as long as they continue their usefulness/achievement in the sports world. The closest similar model would be the former East German or Soviet sports training systems.
2) It is a sad fact that many things in China don't change except with some huge "loss of face" that can't be hidden from the public, and some resulting outrage. Stripping medals and titles, and/or banishment for a year, would definitely cause more national embarrassment in China than in most other countries. It would also produce sympathy for the skaters themselves, and a search for the head of the rotten fish, and possibly some positive change at the Federation level. Which is ultimately what one is after for the long term. I agree that the skaters as individuals would be "collateral damage" in the short term. This is a very tough and seemingly heartless stance to take, but it is likely the most effective.
3) The concept of "right" and "wrong" in the Western sense is not widely present, as the cultural underpinnings of society are completely different. The best way I can describe it (oversimplifying for brevity) is:
"right" = something that produces the result you wanted, and "wrong" is the opposite. Grand principles of morality don't exist so are irrelevant. So entering three pairs if you aren't entitled to it, but you get away with it, is Right. But if you get caught out and shamed, and other material consequences follow, is Wrong.
The ISU side of the equation is a related but separate matter. Again, if the ISU would only come out with which rule, regulation, communication, etc. authorized the legitimate inclusion of a third Chinese pair, then this would go away.

You didn't explain why they used seeded skaters who already had qualified for the Finals who were permitted to knock off other skaters after the entries were completed.
You do not explain why the rule changed. Was there a guilty feeling among the ISU voters? Do you know? I can guess too.
What was the real reason to use seeded skaters, and what was it about a Rule change when there was no rule to begin with? Do you know?

Well if it makes anyone feel better, in 2008 China qualified for 3 at the 2009 World JRs but only 2 skated.
I don't recall seeing board members making such a fuss about that.
I know you can't bank skaters from one year to the next but maybe it's to make up for an ISU mistake?
For those of you so adamant that the Chinese Federation is behind this, can you imagine China giving up an opportunity to skate 3? Especially when the pairs program is all they got. Perhaps they get 3 in 2010 because of injury last year or another special rule us common people don't know about.
Unless you are an ISU official you are just speculating.
Anyhow I feel some members feel too strongly about this for whatever reason (whether prejudice or not). Please relax. Thank you.
That was China's decision to only have two pairs teams compete in 2009. It happens all the time with Federations. Georgia and Switzerland almost instantly gave back their second ladies spots this year for the Olympics, and there were even countries that didn't use their full spots in the pairs competition in this very event (such as Switzerland, who was allowed to send two pairs teams but sent none).
I'm not saying anything about the Chinese Federation nor have I the entire time. I have a feeling someone in the ISU sent paperwork saying three pairs could compete and they just went along with it. I mean, who wouldn't? The final call is obviously that of the ISU and not a skating federation.
If you're saying that I feel too strongly for wanting to know why the rules were broken, I don't know what to tell you. The ISU publishes EVERYTHING on their website as far as rules go, so there's no "common rule" that we don't know about.
If you scroll down to the last paragraph on page 7 you will see the rule that says, if a team is skating in their non-scoring event and finishes higher than someone else, the lower-finishing skater (like Vise and Trent) does not move up and get the points for the higher finish. So this was an actual rule for 2007-08 (and also for 2006-07).
This article from the Golden Skate archives mentions that
http://www.goldenskate.com/articles/2007/sa_1.shtmlPair teams can compete in a third event if there is an open slot, however, it is considered "non-scoring" in terms of points. Prize money still applies according to placements.
From what I have uncovered, I think the rules were gradually changed over a three or four year period to give the ISU greater and greater control over the Grand Prix series, vis-a-vis the organizers of the individual events. In 2006-07, for instance, the rules permitted any skater to skate in a third, non-scoring, event, if he/she was invited. (Sasha Cohen did so, for instance.) The reason for this is that the individual event organizers wanted to make money from television and the live gate, so they wanted to be able to invite the top draws in all disciplines.
By the 2007-08 season, the ISU was tightening its control and they changed the rules to prohibit singles skaters and ice dancers from doing more than two events. Pairs were allowed an exemption to the new rule because there were not enough top-flight pairs teams to go around. This loop-hole for pairs was closed by a rule change the following year (2008-09).
There were a bunch of other rules changes during those years, all designed to require skaters to toe the line laid down by the ISU and correspondingly restricting the rights of the event organizers to do whatever they wanted to, as had been more-or-less the practice in the past. Some of the individual events pre-dated the Grand Prix series, and the organizers of Skate America and Skate Canada, at least, dragged their heels as much as possible in complying with the new rules.
Some of these new rules were that skaters could not skip Grand Prix events and appear in shows and cheesefests instead, that skaters could not appear in the exhibition if they didn't skate in the competition, that skaters who performed in the gala must do a real exhibition program, not just repeat their short program, etc.
So if you ask why the rules were changed several times. I think the answer is only partly to make the competitions more fair. It was also part of the ISU consolidating control.
The issue that Tony Wheeler, Watchvancouver, Gsrossano, Nylynn, etc., are raising on this thread is quite a bit different from the question of why the ISU changed the Grand Prix rules in 2006 and and again in 2007 and again in 2008. In the case of the 2010 Junior Worlds, the rule is clear and as far as anyone can tell the ISU violated its own rule.

Nonetheless, I find this statement very hard to believe.
But you've inspired me to explore the question a little. Starting here...
^^ Remember that much of ancient and traditional Chinese philosophy, including about responsibilities, obligations, honor, and behavior towards others, has in the PRC gone mostly out the window in the last several decades, at least towards strangers and towards the public/society at large. And there's somewhat of a vacuum now as far as replacement philosophies go. So the academic stuff is nice but is just that...and not much apparent in the current reality. Mostly as individuals, groups, organizations, governmental entities, etc., the attitude is either overt or stealthily pushing at all costs, to get what you want. The ends is what matters rather than the means.
That's why it is not surprising to me (or to most Chinese citizens) when they hear of sporting scandals that involve high officials, such as the falsification of age records for Olympic gymnasts, etc. Which involved collusion on the governmental side not just the sports federation. The truth is out about 2000 on that one, and eventually 2008 will come home to roost as well (not sure about 2004). What's surprising (to the Chinese) is that nobody else (Intl sporting bodies, etc.) is willing to put the hammer down with meaningful sanctions and punishments, which is a language the Chinese can absolutely understand. Absence of thi is the same as giving them the green light to continue. Should the ISU have purposely or inadvertently allowed the third pair against their own regulations, I have no doubt Chinese sports-meisters are laughing their heads off--which will embolden them even more, as they see that they are able to bend rules with impunity, to their benefit.

It's a clear case for Tony Wheeler's topic. Yes, it has been resolved but why not bring it up again?
If it was a decision, then the ISU should admit it, which it didn't. And what would be the reason for establishing a Rule so that these rash decisions will never happen again.
There was no rule change because there never was a Rule. They decided to establish a Rule to cover up the mistake in permitting top skaters to fill gaps - and of course, move on.
Here are the official rules, taken from the ISU Grand Prix Technical Announcement for the 2002-03 season (the first season of the new judging system.)
Special consideration is also give to pairs, outside the top six.2.1 Seeded skaters/couples
a) According to the results of the previous World Figure Skating Championships, the skaters/couples ranking 1 - 6 in each of the 4 categories (Men, Ladies, Pairs, Ice Dancing) shall be seeded in two events. A 3rd event is optional to these skaters for participation.
b) In case of retirement or ineligibility of any of the top 6 skaters/couples seeded (see paragraph a) above), the next placed skater/couple shall be seeded.
c) Such seeded skaters/couples must commit on their two assigned events (counting for points). Priority will be given to the home event, if possible.
d) The 3rd event in which the seeded skaters/couples are invited for participation will not count for points, but prize money will be awarded according to the placement. Only one skater/couple per discipline per event can be accepted as "additional third event". Priority of choice has to be given to the higher placed skater/couple.
e) Each ISU Member concerned must announce by August 1st, 2002 latest which events will be the "scoring events" (two events) and which event has to be considered as the "non-scoring event". (see also paragraph 2.1. d) and 3.3). If a skater/couple fails to announce the additional non-scoring event until the a.m. deadline, the Chairman of the ISU Management Commission is entitled to decide.
Pairs have always been given special treatment in the rules, since traditionally there have not been as many top pairs teams worldwide and the ISU wants to encourage the development of this discipline. For instance, in the 2002-03 season pairs (but not singles or dancers) were allowed to skate in both the Junior and the Senior Grand Prix.2.2...(b) No invited skaters/dance couples (except seeded skaters/couples in accordance with para 2.1) may compete in more than two events of the "Grand Prix of Figure Skating". These events will count for points and prize money will be awarded according to the placement. Exception is given to Pairs.
c) Pairs may compete in a third event, which will not count for points, but prize money will be awarded according to the placement. This additional third event must be declared through the Member concerned as the "non scoring event" by August 1st, 2002. If a pair fails to announce the additional non-scoring event until the a.m. deadline, the Chairman of the ISU Management Commission is entitled to decide.
The provision that allowed the top six to skate in three events was changed for the 2007-08 season, except for pairs, which continued with the same rules until they were changed for the 2008-2009 season.Skaters/couples entered for an event of the "Grand Prix of Figure Skating" may not participate in the same discipline of an event of the "Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating" in the same season, except for Pairs.

A few more crmubs about this on my site.
In nosing around on this I discovered an unrelated but intersting (to me at least) item. Dick Pound who criticized IJS before the Olympics and was then later basically caled an idiot by Ted Barton in a subsequent interview, signed up to be a medal presenter for the Dance event. OC nixed it because of the comments Pound made about IJS. If you cross OC there is always payback, even if you are a senior IOC member.

Google TV
When we look back at the success stories of 2011 it seems certain that Android will be top of the list. That said not everything Android touches turns to gold and Google TV already looks to be a prime case in point.
The platform is certainly off to a shaky start. Launch device the US-only Logitech Revue (pictured) has received a largely negative press reaction and an asking price of $299 for what is essentially a web streaming product isn't helping. More critically, however, the software itself has come in for criticism with numerous bugs and performance issues. Patches has been quickly released, but there remains a long way to go.
In fact such are the shortcomings that the New York Times reported Google took the unprecedented step of asking its hardware partners to delay the release of their Google TV devices. Further stories claimed Logitech had stopped production of the Revue after just two months, something the company has since denied.
The other serious problem facing Google TV is a lack of content. This would seem ludicrous for a device which collates and organises web content, but multiple services are blocking access to Google TV as they look to protect their premium media meaning major negotiations are required.
The saddest aspect to these struggles is there remains space for a definitive web-based media player. The Boxee Box is impressive, but Apple TV leaves a lot to be desired and WD TV remains primarily focused on local content. As it stands, however, Google TV does nothing to dispel the notion that it is simpler and better to just connect a PC to your TV or buy a nettop.
Also for the chop: Apple TV, at least in its current form. A full move to iOS and third party apps surely awaits in 2011. Otherwise put an HDMI port on an iPod touch and cancel it please Steve.

Caralluma Burn Review
What is Caralluma?
People who are obese and overweight know just how bad it feels to carry the extra weight. Not only does it make them lethargic and sluggish, it also makes them the target of ridicule. They get targeted for something that they do not even want for themselves, and because the extra weight makes it harder for them to move around, it makes losing the excess fat even more difficult. What's even worse is that obesity actually makes them prone to various diseases, including heart ailments, which is almost like adding insult to injury.
It's no wonder a lot of them, and also people who are not overweight but want to shed some pounds, are resorting for weight loss pills, because they think that it's the only way they can lose fat easily. However, a lot of these actually do more harm than good, bringing a lot of negative side effects that can cause diseases, and even death, because of the various chemicals these products contain. If people have to take weight loss pills, they are better off with supplements that are actually made of natural ingredients. That way, they can make sure that they will be taking substances that will not cause lasting harm to their systems. Caralluma, which is found in Caralluma Actives, is one of these.
Caralluma is made from all natural ingredients!
Caralluma actives is essentially an all-natural appetite suppressant that can help people lose weight without having to starve themselves or spend hours slaving in the gym. Since It is made of all-natural ingredients, you won't have to worry about experiencing any detrimental side effects to your health. The weight loss effects of Caralluma can be felt in as fast as 30 days.
The primary ingredient contained in Caralluma is Caralluma Fimbriata, a herb native to some parts of India that is best known as an appetite suppressant. It has been used for hundreds of years by laborers to suppress their appetite during long hours of working manual labor. The best thing about it is that the side effects of Caralluma are virtually nonexistent, so you don't have to worry about suffering from any health problems as a direct result of taking the product. The product has been proven effective by those who have tried it. If you want confirmation about its efficacy, you should look for Caralluma reviews online written by consumers themselves. Most of those who have tried it only have good things to say about it so you can be assured that it is 100% safe and effective.
Caralluma works by suppressing your appetite for foods that are high in fat and sugar. It also prevents pre-lunch hunger, making you want to eat less and avoid eating in-between meals. Since it increases satiety, you won't have to worry about your food cravings, as the urge to eat won't be as strong as it used to. If you combine this product with a sensible diet and a healthy exercise plan, you should get the body you want in just a few months.
For every order of Caralluma, you get a free membership to their online fitness program, where you can gain access to more information about losing weight. You will also get to communicate with other people who are trying to lose weight as well. Aside from a lifetime membership to their fitness program, you will also receive two gifts; an eBook that contains all the weight loss tips you need to know and a special subliminal MP3 that will further encourage you to continue in your efforts of losing weight. While there are many other weight loss products out in the market, nothing can quite compete with the efficacy of Caralluma.
The benefits of Caralluma!
Caralluma is actually one of the plants in the cactus family. Its variant, Caralluma fimbriata, is what is used in Caralluma actives. This is a plant that is indigenous in India which has long been used as an appetite suppressant by tribesmen when they are on a hunt. Later on, Caralluma fimbriata was used by the labor classes to prevent hunger pangs from occurring and to enhance their endurance as they work. This earned it name famine plant, because it is the food people eat during famines to ward off thirst and hunger.
These days, Caralluma fimbriata has found its way into the tasty dishes of the Indian people. It can be eaten raw, pickled, or cooked. However, no matter how it is prepared, people have not forgotten how Caralluma is an effective appetite suppressant. It is widely used in India as an effective tool to fight obesity and compulsive eating, which dieters are known to do. Now, the famine plant has been brought to the West to help other people experience the effects of Caralluma: shedding the extra weight to look and feel good.
Caralluma reviews talk of nothing but praises about this wonder drug. What it essentially does is that it targets your brains appetite control area without actually causing damage to the hardware. As a result, you wouldn't feel any hunger pangs or cravings which will prevent you from continuing with your weight loss program. What's great is that it doesn't just work as an appetite suppressant, it's a fat burner too. What it does is that it boosts your body's ability to burn off fat, which is actually what causes obesity, by preventing what you eat to turn into fat and blocking fat cells from depositing to your system.
Using Caralluma is a benefit to your health!
You may find yourself wondering if this is too good to be true. What are the side effects of Caralluma? The answer: none. Using Caralluma will not cause any unwanted side effects that will be hazardous to your health. Caralluma fimbriata has no known toxicity, so it's perfectly safe for consumption.
To experience the full benefits of Caralluma and to lose weight faster, combine your dosage of this with regular exercise and a healthy calorie intake. Sticking to this weight loss program will definitely see you shedding those extra pounds in no time at all.

For Healthcare Professionals
Applies to lapatinib: oral tablet
All clinical trial data were from trials of lapatinib (the active ingredient contained in Tykerb) in combination with capecitabine.[Ref]
To report suspected adverse reactions, contact GlaxoSmithKline at 1-888-825-5249 or the FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.[Ref]
Diarrhea was the most common adverse reaction resulting in discontinuation of study medication.[Ref]
Gastrointestinal side effects including diarrhea (65%), nausea (44%), vomiting (26%), stomatitis (14%), and dyspepsia (11%) have been reported.[Ref]
Hematologic side effects have included laboratory abnormalities in hemoglobin (56%), neutrophils (22%), and platelets (18%).[Ref]
Dermatologic side effects including palmar plantar erythrodysesthesia (53%) (also called hand-foot syndrome or acral erythema), rash (28%), dry skin (10%), and nail disorders including paronychia have been reported.[Ref]
Hepatotoxicity may be severe and deaths have been reported. Causality of the deaths is uncertain. The hepatotoxicity may occur days to several months after initiation of treatment. Liver function tests (transaminases, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase) should be monitored before initiation of treatment, every 4 to 6 weeks during treatment, and as clinically indicated. If changes in liver function are severe, therapy with lapatinib (the active ingredient contained in Tykerb) should be discontinued and patients should not be retreated with lapatinib. If lapatinib is to be administered to patients with severe preexisting hepatic impairment, dose reduction should be considered. In patients who develop severe hepatotoxicity while on therapy, lapatinib should be discontinued and should not be retreated with lapatinib.[Ref]
Hepatic side effects have included laboratory abnormalities in AST (49%), total bilirubin (45%), and ALT (37%).[Ref]
Due to potential cardiac toxicity with HER2 (ErbB2) inhibitors, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was monitored in clinical trials at approximately eight-week intervals. LVEF decreases were defined as signs or symptoms of deterioration in left ventricular cardiac function that are grade 3 (NCI CTCAE), or a 20% decrease in left ventricular cardiac ejection fraction relative to baseline which is below the institution's lower limit of normal. Among 198 patients who received lapatinib (the active ingredient contained in Tykerb) capecitabine combination treatment, three experienced Grade 2 and one had Grade 3 LVEF adverse reactions (NCI CTC 3.0).
The QT prolongation potential of lapatinib was assessed as part of an uncontrolled, open-label dose escalation study in advanced cancer patients. Eighty-one patients received daily doses of lapatinib ranging from 175 mg/day to 1800 mg/day. Serial ECGs were collected on day 1 and day 14 to evaluate the effect of lapatinib on QT intervals. Thirteen of the 81 subjects were found to have either QTcF (corrected QT by the Friedericia method) greater than 480 msec or an increase in QTcF greater than 60 msec by automated machine-read evaluation of ECG. Analysis of the data suggested a relationship between lapatinib concentration and the QTc interval.[Ref]
Cardiovascular side effects including decreases in left ventricular ejection fraction and QT prolongation have been reported.[Ref]
Other side effects including mucosal inflammation (15%), pain in the extremity (12%), dyspnea (12%), back pain (11%), and insomnia (10%) have been reported.[Ref]
Oncologic side effects including genotoxicity have been reported. An impurity in the drug product was genotoxic when tested alone in both in vitro and in vivo assays.[Ref]
It is recommended that patients be monitored for pulmonary symptoms indicative of interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis. Lapatinib (the active ingredient contained in Tykerb) should be discontinued in patients who experience pulmonary symptoms indicative of interstitial lung disease/pneumonitis which are greater than or equal to grade 3 (NCI CTCAE).[Ref]
Respiratory side effects have been reported including interstitial lung disease and pneumonitis in monotherapy or in combination with other chemotherapies.[Ref]
Hypersensitivity side effects including anaphylaxis have been reported.[Ref]

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
any tips on the easiest way to get to this from Central London?
I have registered for this race back in December however dont think I have received any information about his run. Do we get numbers, maps etc? I'm sorry I'm very new to the world of running and dont really know what to expect!
I hope you can help!
Shida - I haven't received anything either but am just going to chance it and turn up! There is a phone number 07969 533 124 for the course organiser if you want to double check.
p.s. normally you do get something in the post, general info and a race number. I haven't been to this one before so not sure how it operates.
thanks catherine! I'm just going to shimmy along and hope for the best!!
good luck !!
It does say somewhere that you pick up your race number on the day. If you are in then you'll appear on the list on F3's site.
In November I entered on the day and walked straight to the front of the 'on the day entries' queue. Conversely, the queue for the pre-entered runners who were picking up their numbers was really long!!!
And, for anyone questioning whether the route is 10k (5k) or not, I G-mapped the track around the lake and made 1 lap equal to 4.94k (so it's 60 metres short per lap). However, I can't quite remember if they pushed the finish line slightly 'back' to make up the distance if you know what I mean?!
Check out the link:
URL for this route is: http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/?r=1678356
Well if you want someone to show you around the course - I'm your man...
See you on Sunday, x
Let me clear up the question on whether it is accurate.
I wrote to them and asked exactly this question. It is not officially measured by BARR or any indepentant body. They themsleves have measured it using GPS, so it is only officially 10k according to themselves.
I am sure it will still be a good race, but don't rely on it being the exact length
Ber careful about the phrase Officially 10k, it is not. But is it around 10k in length
HI there,
Pics are now up and live on www.antbliss.com - just search by your race number.
On a 35% discount for next two weeks.
There is a link to the F3 events from there when they get the results up.

rearend swap
how can I swap the big 10 bolt rear out of my 79 camero in to my 83 monte carlo
if memorey serves me right, the camaro is a leaf spring rear, and the carlo is a coil spring. you would have to first check the lenths of the rears to see if it`ll line up correctly with the wheel wells. secondly you`d have to remove the leaf spring perch`s and weld on coil spring perch`s, and this is a lot of work. if your carlo has the 7.5 rear, the other way out would be to find a rear from a 82 - 87 firebird t/a or camaro Z28 and get the guts out of it and swap into your rear. this is what I did to my cutlass, my car came with a 2.14 non posi, I swapped the guts from a 83 T/A rear which was a 3.23 posi unit. this way, you don`t have to remove the rear in your carlo. if your interested in doing this swap let me know and I`ll post the codes on the T/A and Z28 rears.
but the thing is I had just put in a brand new eaton posi unit and new 4.10 gears in the camero then wrecked it and got a good buy on the mone carlo but had spent more on the rear in the camero than the m/c cost and was hopeing to save some money
my advice would be to sell the camaro`s rear unless you have a cutting torch, welder, and the time and money needed to correctly set up the camaro`s rear in the monte. I had heard before the Monte Carlo SS came with 8.2 rears, but I don`t know how true it is, if it is true, you could just swap guts from your camaro`s rear to the monte SS rear.
I seen a monte SS in the junk yard, and it`s rear wasn`t a 7.5, by looking at it I couldn`t tell what it was, it was bigger than a 7.5, that`s the thing about junk yard cars, never know what may have been swapped into them before they made it to the yard.
my 82 cutlass have an 7.5 rear non/posi 10 blots 2.41 ratio I think it's 26 spline not sure on that. Need help on that one, But my ? is where can I get GM 7.5, 10 Bolts POSI unit 3.42 or higher, that will fit in the original rear end
my 82 cutlass have an 7.5 rear non/posi 10 blots 2.41 ratio I think it's 26 spline not sure on that. Need help on that one, But my ? is where can I get GM 7.5, 10 Bolts POSI unit 3.42 or higher, that will fit in the original rear end
I saw on a monte carlo page that turbo buicks from 84 to 87 used the 8 1/2 inch 10 bolt with coil springs they are a direct bolt in

The Ferris State University women's basketball team found a way to pull out a victory at Jim Wink Arena on Thursday (Jan. 22) evening as the Bulldogs topped Wayne State 77-74 in an exciting Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) encounter at Big Rapids, Mich.
Bulldog sophomore guard Becci Houdek scored with 12 seconds left to give FSU a two-point advantage and after a Warrior missed shot, senior forward Caitlin Hutchison hit one of two free throws with four seconds to go. The Warriors had a chance to tie the game at the buzzer but a long three-pointer by Chastidy Miller came up short.
Ferris took a slim one-point halftime lead and neither team led by more than five points in the final half. The score was tied nine times in the back and forth contest and the lead changed hands 17 times in the game.
FSU overcame 24 turnovers by shooting 61.7% (29-47) for the game and holding the Warriors to a 41.2% (28-68) shooting figure. Ferris was seven-of-12 (58.3%) behind the three-point line and 12-of-15 (80%) at the free throw stripe. Meanwhile, Wayne State connected on only six-of-22 (27.3%) three-pointers and was also 12-of-15 (80%) at the line.
Senior guard Teghan Thelen paced Ferris with a team-high 15 points. She also added four rebounds, three assists and three steals in the victory. Sophomore guard Chelsea Simonetti was the only other Bulldog player in double-figures with 10 points and eight assists.
The Warriors had four players reach double-figures. Both Brittany Smith and Chastidy Miller tallied a team-high tying 19 points, Brooke Bowers added 16 points and Jasmine McCall totaled 10 points in addition to six assists and six steals.
WSU managed to outscore FSU 40-26 in the paint and 27-19 off turnovers. However, the Bulldogs' received 31 points off the bench compared to only 21 for Wayne State.
Ferris also finished with 24 assists and maintained a 32-27 rebounding edge despite 17 offensive boards for the Warriors. FSU also had eight steals.
The Warriors recorded 18 assists, 17 steals and four blocked shots. They had 12 turnovers in dropping to 5-11 overall and 3-8 in the GLIAC.
The win was FSU's second in its last three contests as the Bulldogs improved to 5-10 overall and 3-8 in league action. Ferris also improved to 11-1 all-time against the Warriors under head coach Tracey Dorow with the triumph.
FSU concludes its five-game homestand by hosting the Northwood Timberwolves on Saturday (Jan. 24) afternoon with tipoff set for 1 p.m. (EST) at Wink Arena. Saturday's game will also represent FSU's annual Community Health Day as a variety of health-related informational tables and screenings will take place during the doubleheader inside the FSU Sports Complex.

The Corps One Hundred Years Ago
THROUGH the instrumentality of an Order Book of the old Washington Headquarters that has successfully withstood the ravages of time, it is possible to present to the Corps of today a faithful mirror in which can be seen the life of the Corps in the early years of the nineteenth century.
