Does your 308 Leak Oil? How much?
Hi folks. I just picked up a 308 the other day. It has a somewhat annoying oil leak. At first glance, it appears to be coming from the flat seal under the distributor. Can I simply pull the dizzy, replace the seal (actually there appears to be two in there), and fix it? Or does this require retiming the car again (I guess it can't hurt). Note, I know very little about these cars right now.
Secondly, there seems to be another leak coming from the other side, near where the cam belts attach (the seal that mates the cam with the head). This (I would suspect) would be a bad one to replace, as it would require the removal of the cam belts, obviously. I'm going to clean the car off underneath tonite, and then run it to see if I can more accurately spot the leak.
The thing is, the car has had just about every seal replaced about four years ago (about 2000 miles or so). I think that the seals probably got dried out from the previous owner not driving the car, and are now starting to leak (I've seen this many times on Porsches, particular since they are air cooled and expand more).
So, how much does your car leak? Systemic problem on these cars (someone told me they all leak).
It is not uncommon to find a bit of an oil leak associated with the cam seals. This seems to be especially true if a synthetic oil is used. At least this has been my experience.
My recommendation would be to drain the oil and replace with a mineral based oil. I have been using Valvoline's "Higher Milage" oil (or whatever it's called). It has conditioners to help older seals on older cars. If the leak doesn't slow considerably, get the cam seals replaced by someone who has done it many times before. Don't expect it to stop completely - it is an Italian car after all.
The synthetics leak so much with my car that I quit using them altogether with the exception of track events where my oil temp pegs out and I need the added protection of the syns. I'll drain my regular oil and fill it with Redline then when I am done I take it right back out again.
You've just encountered the two most common 3x8 engine leak areas, the alternator & cam seals.
It's possible that the seals have dried out. It's equally possible & maybe more likely that they weren't installed properly in the 1st place.
The cam seal leaks are the more serious ones as there's risk oil getting on the timing belt & it jumping teeth under high revs or sudden rev changes. This is a interfering engine, so jumped teeth can result in valves thru pistons and/or damaged heads (ie: an instant $10K down the drain).
Also, the alternator is located down below the front cylinders, between the exhaust manifold and the block. Just where any oil dripping from the cam seal area will get sucked into the alternator & will destroy the slip rings & voltage regulator(been there...).
There are also some model specific distributor shaft leak problems with well known fixes.
What year & model 308 is it?
These leaks are fixable, but it takes careful work and knowledge of a few tricks. They also have a tendancy to reappear after too few years.
BTW, the cam belts must be changed every 3-5 years, and or 15,000 miles whichever comes first. It's a very good idea to replace the tensioner bearings at the same time.
Both the small leaks you noted when you saw the 308GTS here are now gone. She is bone dry and works great :-) Even cleaned the alternator and new bearing! The folks at KTR did a wonderful job :-)
Enjoy the Drive,
Steven R. Rochlin
Verell is correct to suggest that they may not have been put in right to begin with. That is why I recommend someone who has done it many, many times before. Guess how I know?
I do all my own work myself. I have quite a bit of experience with Porsches (see here: http://www.101projects.com), but not too much experience with these cars.
What are the tricks that you are referring to?
Hello Wayne,
My 328 used to leak at the cam cover on the front bank. Two summers ago I did the service. Mine does not leak at the moment. I have never had a distributor leak but I hear they are somewhat common. When you reseal it, note which way the cam turns and the direction of the threads in the seal. The oil must be 'screwed' inward. Enjoy your F car. I've owned mine for over 15 years.
Now if I can get my pan gasket on my Porsche to stop leaking.
From your web site it looks like you're quite a bit more experienced mechanic than the usual newcomer. BTW, the FerrariChat has just switched to a new system. The prior system with frozen contents is still available & searchable & has 99% of the topics dating back several years. It's down at the bottom of the home page as 'OLD FerrariChat.com Archives'. The link is:
Getting the distributor seal on w/o popping the internal spring out is probably a no-brainer for any experienced mechanic. The following thread captures most of the tips & tricks that I recall:
In addition to the usual challenge of getting the cam seals on w/o popping the internal springs out, The cam cover-head joint where the seal(seal housing & o-ring in the newer Quattrovalvole(QV) (ie:: 4-valve 328 & 308 QV) engines mounts is problematic. It's much worse in the QV engines as the design is very different in that area. The gasket has to be carefully trimmed back so that when oil swells it it doesn't cut the edge of the seal (or the O-ring in the QV engines). Then a matchead sized dab of sealant (RTV) applied to fill the gap.
The biggest problems in this area are are:
- Seal popping out (fix: ding mounting area perimenter w/center punch)
- Gasket slipping away from the problematic joint just enough to let it leak.
I've concluded that using RTV or an anaerobic sealant as a gasket dressing is a major contributor to this problem. The sealants are just too slippery. I'm now recommending Hylomar due to it's tackiness.
What I really want to try is to drill & press fit a steel pin into the head about 1/4" back from the joint & protruding about 1/8", with matching holes in the cam cover and gasket. The pin should put a stop to the gasket slipping away from the joint.
If you search the archives, and find my prior posts about sealing the cam cover, you'll probably find them humorous. I was learning as I went.
- QV engines only - O-ring being pinched/cut by the sharp corner of the head-cover joint. (Fix: break the sharp edge very slightly with a file.)
These are a start & represent my most recent experience. I recommend you search the old archives for several threads on sealing cam covers.
BTW, there's Ric Rainbolt's cam belt replacement write-up that you may find useful in the following web site:
The Online Service Manual ( Go to www.ExpensiveCar.com, & click on 'Ferrari' for table of contents):
I'm supposed to co-author a major update the next time I do a major service.
The 308 GTB Register's TechTips also has several other service procedures you may find useful:

Welcome to Fchat Wayne. And we like Porschephiles here too. I also lurk about on the tech site on Pelicanparts.
I have the same leak under the dizzy on my 75 308. It is about 5 table spoons after I drive it and park it in my garage for a week. It is quite a bit involved to remove the dizzy, cam, plug it up with a plug, and put it all back. So, i am waiting for the next time I do a cam belt before getting into it. In the mean time, a drip pan under the car keeps it from getting out of hand.
One thing i can say about porsche is at least you can make them not leak. I can't seem to do that with the Ferrari, so far.
If you find oil inside the distributor then the distributor seal is leaking.
If you find oil leaking beneath the distributor but none inside the distributor, then the small O-ring on the distributor shaft needs replaced. I replace mine routinely, they flatten out with age.
Replace the O-rings, lightly grease the shafts and O-rings, replace distributors and reset the timing.
Guess everyone has their own problems. I can't get my Porsche not to leak. My Ferrari, for the first time in years, is not leaking. The Porsche is getting its second pan gasket in two years. Labor intensive job....
Engines (and oil pans) are not designed to leak. Not Ferraris, not Lotus' and of course not Porsches. If you need to replace a seal or gasket more than once in a short period of time, then you should look at either the guy doing the job, or a problem with the parts you're putting together. Simple as that. Some jobs require a high level of skill to do right (the Lotus TC engine, Ferrari cam seals) and some are easy. If it's an "easy" job and it leaks, then something is out of whack with the parts. This whole notion that Ferraris are supposed to leak is just another way of saying you can't afford to fix what needs fixing, or you don't know how to do the job right.
1: Shift shaft seal on a 308 (328, or 348 for that matter), The shaft is sealed by 2 simple O-rings. By virtue of the fact that the shaft has to slide, it has to have some clearance for that sliding action, and therefore when the oil is hot, it leaks out the seal. That is a matter of DESIGN, Stupid Design may I add. What happened to a good shift linkage that would bypass the oil pan altogether.
2: Early 308 distributor cam-shaft has no end plugs and is sealed to the internal part of the dizzy by a simple o-ring, with simple sliding on pressure with no groove or notch to seal against. This simple oring is NOT going to hold back 100 psi of hot oil pressure from the camshaft. The factory actually later recognized this problem by installing end plugs for the shaft so the oil will be stopped. Again, that is a bad, stupid design.
So, I'll admit to some amateurish, inexperienced hands if you also admit to getting off your high horses and stop calling everybody incompetent.

Well, I wasn't aware I was calling everyone incompetent, just that some amatures have oil leaks and blame the equipment.
Not being a Ferrari owner, I can't say first hand just how badly designed the mentioned seals are. If they ARE designed to leak, then I stand corrected.
My Lotus TC engine is a famous leaker, and know what? Mine doesn't leak. I can see WHY it would leak: putting the front cover on right is an art, and the valve cover needs to be torqued exactly right. Plus, you have several different metals all with different coefficients of expansion...that's not a brilliant design either in some respects. But when joined correctly, it doesn't leak. Perhaps I gave Ferrari too much credit for having a design that actually holds oil. If it just doesn't work, then I'm pretty appalled.
How much work is it to install the aluminum plugs on the older 308s? I keep replacing the O-rings.
2. Machine a 1/2 inch long aluminum plug to fit the end of the adapter plugs of the Camshaft(s). make it long enough to cover the holes for the retaining pins so that the oil will not leak through to that point.
3. Install plug, tight, and with some glue/sealant, and now you have covered up the holes for the pins.
4. Drill a hole through the new plug to allow for the pin to mount through
5. Install the adapter plug back on the camshaft
6. Now, install the oring seals and the dizzy.
It requires a high quality lathe, and a high quality drill press with decent machine works skills. I would not try it if you lack a decent machine shop.

Put some Permatex #2 on the O-ring!! It's non-hardening. My car has had a problem here since new, and only the use of good ole #2 stops it.
Wow, lots of good knowledge here. If anyone has any Porsche 911 questions, I'll trade info (see here: http://www.101projects.com).
I cleaned off a lot of the engine (it was already pretty clean) last night and then drove it. I didn't smell the oil dripping on hte exhaust (that air-cooled smell), so I'm not sure if it's still leaking? The car sat for awhile, I'm hoping that running it for awhile will help - this does work sometimes for the Porsches...
Hi Wayne!
The distributor o-ring are easy to replace as noted above.
The cam seals are bigger problem. If not done right.... the fix wont last for long. Pay close attention to what Verell said... the expanding cam cover gasket can cut into the cam seal and cause a new leak within a few hundred miles of replacement. Trim the cover gasket back a bit and its no biggie.
As it was said, using RTV or some other typical type of sealant wont cut it. I used Locktite red 518 flange sealant. Works like a champ. Pretty sure its an anaerobic (sp) sealant as mentioned.
It wouldnt surprise me if you do have such leaks given only 2000 miles in 4 years. These cars will really punish you if you dont use them!
If Wayne does end up doing a cam belt replacement and service on his car you F-chat guys better get ready! It will be the MOTHER of all tech articles on the subject! I have read 101 projects and own the Engine rebuilding book wayne wrote.... simply fantastic stuff. If Wayne were to do a similar cam belt article..... Ferrari dealers around the nation would put out a bounty on him!
Regarding the topic subject line:
My car has always had 2 leaks.
I fix them, and instantly 2 different ones show up. This has happened several times. Fix the steering rack, and the diff leaks. Etc.
I took it to my mechanic to have ALL engine seals replaced. Drove it around Portland for several days, dry as a bone. Got it home and it pee'd perhaps a cup of oil on my driveway. I have no idea where it came from, but it never did it again. Just like a little child throwing a tantrum.
Since then, one distributor started leaking (O-ring, I'm sure), and the studs on the oil pan each have a drop of oil hanging from them. Not sure where this oil is coming from, but I've heard it's possible that the studs themselves can leak.

Texas towns along the Louisana border are cleaning-up this after a direct hit from Hurricane Humberto. Here's the latest from Houston Public Radio's Jack Williams.
In the city of Orange, just this side of the Louisiana border, residents lost power and saw trees and signs blown over. One business went up in flames as the storm passed over and a number of homes were damaged. Orange fire battalion chief Joe Mires says Humberto was nothing compared to Rita two years ago.
"With Rita, everything was damaged. With Humberto it appears as if a lot of the dangling branches that were in trees leftover from Rita are now on the ground. We have some minor damage to structures, portable buildings knocked over, that sort of thing."
In nearby Bridge City, an 80-year-old man was killed when his metal back porch collapsed during the storm. Police major Joey Hargrave says even though the town escaped serious damage, the loss of a life is hard to deal with.
"It saddens us to lose any life or have any type of injury of course, especially this gentleman. He lived here forever. Everybody knew him and liked him. That's really the sad thing. You have to be thankful for what you have I suppose. It could always be worse."
Crews in the area are still clearing roads and assessing damage. Both Rita and Humberto passed directly over both Orange and Bridge City.

To many New Zealanders, a quarter-acre means a big section and a hard slog with the lawnmower.
But to property tycoon David Henderson, it is the size of his inner-city penthouse.
He has put his waterfront property up for sale in what is expected to be one of this year's most spectacular deals.
Mr Henderson owns the top floor of Shed 21, the Princes Wharf block where the 166-room Hilton Hotel is spread over seven floors.
His Kitchener Group developed the six wharf "sheds" but Mr Henderson kept the best part for himself.
He got Leuschke Group Architects to design an apartment with a big "wow" factor, perched at the top of the most northern waterfront block, looking towards the harbour bridge and North Shore.
Mr Henderson said he was selling because his four children were grown-up and the place was too big for one person.
He plans to spend more time at his Potts Point apartment in inner Sydney. He will buy again in Auckland, although when he returns he will stay in a two-bedroom Princes Wharf apartment he owns on level five of Shed 20.
"It's been a fabulous place to live in but I'm rattling around in there these days, so it's time for someone else to move in and enjoy it," he said.
The northern tip of the unit houses the largest of five living areas and finishes in a prow-shaped deck.
A teenagers' wing at the city end has its own decks, kitchen, suite of bedrooms and snooker room.
The apartment has 1061sq m of internal floor space and decks of 416sq m.
Fiona Mackenzie of Kellands said the apartment was the largest in the country and today she will begin marketing with the logo "I own this city". She is expecting offers well over its capital value of $5.3 million. The place could sell for more than $10 million but prospective buyers were told of the deal only yesterday.
Kellands is marketing the penthouse in Australia, Britain, the United States, Dubai and Asia.
The buyer will not only need a fair wad of cash - he or she will also need to be mega-rich to keep it because it costs more than $140,000 in annual outgoings. Mr Henderson pays $11,576 rates to Auckland City, $2789.06 to the Auckland Regional Council and $130,000 in ground rent, to be reviewed in 2010.
His apartment has gas fireplaces in every lounge and a dressing room with 14 separate clothes-hanging sections and 31 shoe shelves, each storing more than five pairs of shoes.
Two years ago the developer was caught up in the so-called "celebrity drug ring". He was convicted and given a suspended sentence for trying to buy cocaine.
Luxury penthouses are going for top prices. The level-30 penthouse of the Sentinel at Takapuna is expected to fetch more than $10 million.
Australia's most expensive apartment is a 795sq m, $19.5 million penthouse in the Gold Coast's 77-storey Soul Tower. In Sydney, owners of a harbourside home have rejected offers of more than A$50 million ($55 million).
And in the US a house called The Pinnacle is going on the market at US$155 million ($222 million). The Montana house will have a heated driveway and a ski lift that can be boarded inside the house.

Dozens of protesters have marched to Parliament to protest the closure of state houses.
The group chanting "stop the war on the poor'' are protesting over access to state housing including the closure of Housing New Zealand properties in Auckland's Glen Innes and the Lower Hutt suburb of Pomare.
They will present a petition with about 1000 signatures to MPs from the Greens, Labour and Mana this afternoon.

Astute Tamworth trainer Barry Lockwood is confident Outback Dream can surge into the winners' list, starting at Lismore today.
The well-bred Choisir 3-year-old filly, who weighs in at 530kg, tackles the Lismore Come To The Heart Maiden Handicap (1100m) first-up with gun Gold Coast jockey Chris Whiteley in the saddle.
Outback Dream had four starts at her initial campaign and while she didn't post a win she ran some cracking races.
"She has promised to do it but hasn't managed to win yet," Lockwood said.
"She's a good type, a big, strong filly who I believe has got a good future.
"She won a trial on her ear at Newcastle before her first start then got pipped at Grafton.
"Last campaign, through unsuitable tracks and whatnot, I wasn't able to give her the gallops she needed.
"This time in she has matured and is a better filly. She has had a nice preparation.
"If she can toughen up a bit more I think she'll have a good campaign."
Outback Dream is raced by Graham Diamond and Peter Shanahan who own food outlet Outback Jacks in Tamworth.
"Graham has a number of horses with Sydney trainers including Gai Waterhouse," Lockwood said.
"They send me up a couple of horses. We've had a bit of luck together."
While Outback Dream hasn't trialled ahead of her return, Lockwood has her a jump-out.
Outback Dream will jump from three and will carry 58kg.

PortraitKees van Kersbergen is a Professor of Political Science at VU University Amsterdam. He served as director of the Centre for Comparative Social Studies until 2007 and has also been professor of political science at the Radboud University (Nijmegen). He is the author of Social Capitalism 1995), which won the Stein Rokkan Prize in Comparative Social Science, and co-editor of Expansion and Fragmentation. Internationalization, Political Change and the Transformation of the Nation State. Philip Manow is a Professor of Political Science at the University of Konstanz. Previously, he was a researcher at the Max-Planck Institute for the Study of Societies, Cologne, and visiting fellow at the Centre for European Studies, Harvard, and at the Centre d'Etudes Europeennes, Sciences Po, Paris. His work has been published in numberous journals and collections, including European Journal of Political Research, West European Politics, Comparative Political Studies, The New Politics of the Welfare State (2001), and Federalism and the Welfare State (2008).
Pressestimmen"Religion, Class Coalitions, and Welfare States is the most authoritative work so far on the impact of religion on welfare state development. It provides us with both a grand theoretical perspective and hugely rich analysis of how Protestantism and Catholicism meshed with politics and class in the evolution of social policies in Europe and America. This book has no rivals and is unlikely to have any for some time to come. It will have a tremendous impact on welfare state research in the coming years. This is historical and comparative social science at its very best, and Van Kersbergen and Manow deserve our thanks for putting it all together." -Gosta Esping-Andersen, Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona "If you think you know everything about class coalitions and social policies, think again. Kees van Kersbergen and Philip Manow's brilliant edited volume starts with the best recent work in political economy and pushes the cutting edge deep into history and contemporary policy debates. The book explains the origins and trajectories of different varieties of welfare states and traces out the roles that religion and conflicts over religion have played in the politics and political economies of advanced industrial societies. Scholars in economics, history, political science, policy studies, political economy, religion, and sociology will enjoy reading ten crisp chapters. Invite the contributors over to dinner at your own risk-they all know how to talk about politics, religion, and economics." -Andrew C. Gould, University of Notre Dame "This is a brilliant volume, which compels wide attention in the field of comparative politics, political economy, social policy, the welfare state and religion. It constructs a coherent account of the origins of the welfare state which integrates religious and economic cleavages, electoral rules and political institutions, in a historically grounded, theoretically tight manner. It challenges previous theories while moving the argument forward. A great book, a must read!" -Peter Gourevitch, University of California, San Diego "This book is an intellectual tour de force on the role of religion in the development of the modern welfare state. The editors outline an entirely new approach to the field, and the individual chapters offer a goldmine of historical research. It will become a standard reference for anyone interested in political parties and in European social, economic and political history." -Torben Iversen, Harvard University "This superb and highly integrated edited volume will be a central reference point for work on the role of religion in the political construction and evolution of the welfare state and more generally comparative political economy. It contains six excellent country chapters with serious historical depth. And it is structured analytically around the coalitions which Christian democratic and social democratic parties have been able to forge in different types of electoral systems, an analysis which Manow has played a large part in developing. We should be grateful to van Kersbergen and Manow for producing an unusually coherent and useful book." -David Soskice, Duke University

My mom once sent me this photo, accompanied only by the subject line, 'What is it?'
Correct answers include: A towel. A deranged towel baby. The Hampton Inn housekeeper's cry for help.
So in that same spirit, I ask you, friends: What is it?
Need a hint? Here,
perhaps a little context would help.
Here it is on display with other similar products:
So, in this case acceptable answers would be:
A dog bone.

36 year old female that looks 27. I take very good care of my skin but have noticed a small amount of cheek sagging in the last year. I am also trying to lose 20lbs and im afraid that my cheeks will sag more. Will filler in my cheekbone area lift my cheeks a little or at least keep them where they are at now with maintenance. I'm confused on where to start. I want something long-lasting but non- surgical. I didn't send a picture because you can't see any sagging in the picture.
Which Filler is Best for Volume Loss in Cheeks?

Posted by James Staten on November 22, 2011
We know that enterprise infrastructure & operations (I&O) professionals are under tremendous executive pressure to get to yes on cloud computing and that this can be an uncomfortable proposition. Understanding the security, maturity and return on investment from cloud services can be challenging, and in many cases you might argue that you provide the same capabilities from your own data center. But there's no denying that enterprises are increasing their consumption of these services and that their value proposition is unique and compelling - if not to I&O directly.
Since cloud became a household word, vendors and enterprises alike have jumped to declare victory on cloud with services and infrastructure implementations that really don't deliver cloud value but have the same foundation - something we call "cloudwashing." This is a dangerous gambit as you claim legitimacy but don't activate the same economics, deliver the autonomy that cloud services offer to your internal users and aren't standardized or automated enough to deliver transformative agility. In other words you claim cloud but are achieving only incrementally better value.

Serves 4
Recipe: Medium Complexity
Raymond Kersh and Jennice Kersh chef and restaurateur
4 cornfed chicken breasts
200 g (7 oz) quandongs or peaches
75 g (2-1/2 oz) butter
8 cups warrigal greens or silverbeet (Swiss chard), blanched
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 pieces of pig's caul, about 20 cm (8 inch) square
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, diced
1 clove garlic
100 g (3-1/2 oz) Swiss brown mushrooms, sliced
45 g (1 -1/2 oz) shiitake mushrooms, sliced
45 g (1-1/2 oz) shijemi mushrooms, sliced
Native Thyme Broth
3-1/4 cups (825 mL/26 fl oz) chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon native thyme
1 teaspoon ginger
1 stalk lemon grass, soft part only, chopped
2 teaspoons ground coriander
Fresh coriander (Chinese parsley) leaves to garnish
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C (400 degrees F). Butterfly the chicken breast into halves. Sauté the quandongs in a frying pan or skillet in half the butter. When soft, place a quarter of the cooked quandongs in the middle of each chicken breast. Place cup of the warrigal greens on top of each pile of quandongs and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll up each chicken breast and then wrap each one in a piece of the pig's caul. Pan-fry the chicken in the olive oil over medium heat until browned, then bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes. Remove pan from the oven and keep warm.
Sauté the onion with the remaining butter, then add the garlic, three types of mushrooms and the remaining warrigal greens.
To make the thyme broth, place the chicken stock, native thyme, ginger, lemon grass and coriander in a large saucepan and bring to the boil. Reduce in volume by half over high heat, then strain through a fine sieve. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the pan and slice into 4 rounds. Place the mushroom mixture in the middle of each warmed serving bowl and place the chicken on top. Pour the broth around the outside until it reaches the mushrooms. Garnish with coriander leaves and serve immediately.

text: I just found one in ten words or less: http://www.dell.com/xfr - - - Updated - - - You can't print a schematic from a book either, you connect your laptop to a printer and print it out. Infact, you can connect your laptop to a plotter and print 60 inch wide x what ever length schematics you want Actually I stand corrected.... you can print anything you want up to 128 inches by how ever long the roll of paper is with this one.: Mimaki 320DS This 128 inch roll-fed printer uses eco-friendly aqueous ink for a direct dye sublimation printing and comes with a customization kit that allows you to add a ditch for ink runoff to prevent unwanted penetration of more porous materials such as mesh or flag. The Mimaki320DS has a staggered head array, utilizing four printheads for high speed printing. The printer also comes with Mimaki's automatic nozzle failure detection, uninterrupted ink supply system, Rasterlink Pro III RIP, and automatic registration for doublesided prints. Made for the flag, banner, trade show fabric graphics, P-O-P, and soft signage markets this is a great printer with a max 720×1440 dpi resolution that can print 645 sq ft per hour. Is 128 inches big enough for your schematics?

Metro Hockey Update: The Olympic Edition
Metro Hockey Update:
The Olympic Edition!
By Andrei Petrovitch
Hey, Commissioner Bettman Take Notes!
Be honest: Olympic hockey is more exciting than NHL hockey. There is more artistry, more back and forth action, and way more scoring chances. The larger Olympic ice surface allows talented players to show off their creativity, while simultaneously preventing teams from engaging in the clutch-and-grab play that has tarnished the NHL for the last decade. Unfortunately, installing larger ice surfaces is impractical and expensive for many of the league's 30 franchises. However, there is another difference in the international game that can be implemented.
Under the current NHL rules, it is illegal to pass the puck across two lines (from behind either blue line to anywhere past the red line). However, such passes are legal in the Olympics, and the results have led to greater offense.
Want proof? Simply look at an Olympic box score. Such a rule change would allow superior playmakers such as Adam Oates, Mario Lemieux, and Joe Sakic to execute daring breakout passes to wingers skating on breakaways. The game would open up a LOT more, as it would be impossible for teams to implement stifling trap defenses. And just think of the scoring chances!!!
Sound nice, right? Sure it does. But many of the team general managers around the league are traditionalists by nature and are usually reluctant to make such drastic rule changes. Yet, such a rule change could give the stagnant sport of hockey a much-needed boost.
It's time for the National Hockey League to abandon the hard-line conservative thinking that has prevented the sport from catching on in America. It's time to make the game more exciting to watch. It's time to allow the star players to show off their talents and attract a larger audience.
It's time to get rid of the red line.

Seahawks good, but maddening
Sun., Oct. 20, 2013, midnight
Friday: What's the best word or phrase to describe the Seahawks right now? Dominating, sure. Winners, OK. Maddening? I'm pretty sure that works too.
When you become a fan of a sports team, you become invested in that team's successes and failures. Around here, it's more often the latter than the former, at least it seems that way.
But it should be different this year with the Seahawks. They are good, 6-1 good. They have won both their games against NFC West foes. And yet, they have a tendency to mix failure and success into the same game-winning mix.
I guess that's a nice way of saying they do some of the dumbest things you'll ever see an NFL team do – and it doesn't seem to matter.
Let's take a short section of Thursday night's 34-22 win over Arizona as an example. We'll start midway through the second quarter, when the Hawks had a great chance to put the Cardinals away, already leading 14-0. Arizona punted from deep in its territory and Golden Tate gathered it in at his 46. He wasted no time, took off up the middle, veered right and raced to the end zone, diving in to create a golden photo opportunity, if you pardon the pun. Except linebacker Mike Morgan blocked a Cardinal in the back. A Cardinal that had no chance to make a play on Tate.
Instead of leading by three touchdowns, the Hawks had the ball at midfield. That's OK, right? They would still score. Nope. One Marshawn Lynch run gained nine yards and two others gained none – the first was a bad spot and probably should have been challenged, but who cared, right, the Hawks would pick up the first down.
Pete Carroll, showing his utter confidence in a broken-down offensive line, went for it from the Arizona 43. One problem. The Hawks called a quarterback sneak that forced the linemen to stretch for their blocks. A tight end couldn't stretch far enough and Wilson was stuffed.
The defense made sure the turnover on downs led to only three Arizona points but it gave the Cardinals life. And when Jermaine Kearse decided to bring a kickoff back from five-yards deep in the end zone only to be blown up at the Hawks' 13, Seattle was in trouble. Big trouble because Wilson was stripped and sacked two plays later, Arizona recovered at the 3 and, one play later, was in the end zone.
A possible 21-0 blowout was turned into a 14-10 nail-biter in the course of about nine minutes. Or to put it another way, in the course of two bad plays, one poor decision and one stupid one. Maddening. Of course none of that seemed to matter an hour later when the Hawks were pulling away in the second half. But such things do. Because they will come back to bite you, and not in the nails, against good teams.
Thursday: At the end of next college football season there will be a mini-playoff of sorts to determine a national champion. One of the biggest steps toward that mini-playoff occurred Wednesday, when the names of the selection committee were officially released. I can't lie. I'm a little disappointed.
When the news broke there would be a mini-playoff replacing the fraudulent BCS, and that there would be a selection committee, I started campaigning for a spot.
All the hints I dropped to people in the know, all the anonymous emails I sent to the powers that be to look at the Grippi guy, all the subtle clues I left in this column over the past few months, they all went unheeded.
A bunch of athletic directors and, god forbid, a woman. Yep, the championship of our national sport is going to be decided by a woman.
Oh, the horror.
At least they didn't put any other godforsaken retired sports writers on the committee, because that would really hurt. Wait, what? There is a retired sports writer on the committee? And it's not me?
Some guy who worked for USA Today, where they don't even get to write complete stories? Jeez. A woman and a sports writer. What is this world coming to?

When uterine cancer is diagnosed, your WellStar physician will categorize it by the current stage. Each stage describes the progression of the disease and whether the cancer has spread to other parts of the body. You should talk to your WellStar physician to understand each stage, and what it means for your treatment plan.

South Carolina educrats are once again using taxpayer-funded time and resources to lobby the federal government for money they don't need … a flagrant violation of the state's ethics laws that has unfortunately become standard operating procedure in this state.
What hasn't become standard operating procedure?
Educating our children …
Anyway, the latest education funding debate centers around $143 million that liberal pork baron Jim Clyburn says would save the jobs of 2,600 school teachers in South Carolina. According to the fiction writers over at The (Columbia, S.C.) State newspaper – a.k.a. La Socialista – South Carolina is being denied this money because U.S. Sen. Jim DeMint "doesn't appear willing to help South Carolina" obtain it.
Needless to say those are their words … not ours … because we'd have politely reminded you that DeMint's party isn't in charge in Washington, Clyburn's is.
Nonetheless, our state's educrats are mounting a full-court press to have this money included in a lame duck spending bill – and once again they're using taxpayer-provided resources to spread the propaganda of the S.C. Association of School Administrators (SCASA), the state's uber-liberal bureaucratic union.
Here's an example of your money going to fund this sort of propaganda:

Subject: Legislative Alert-Action Needed to Save 2,600 Teacher Jobs
Good morning,
It appears that the effort to obtain $143 million for South Carolina to save 2,600 teaching jobs is stalled. In order for SC to receive the money, the language in the funding resolution needs to authorize the U.S. education secretary to grant a waiver enabling a state to use the older, less strict, funding threshold of combined spending on public schools and higher education.
If the language is blocked, South Carolina loses $143 million which translates into 2,600 teaching jobs. This is not a Republican or Democratic issue; this is an issue about jobs in our state. We need each of you to call your Congressman and/or Senator ASAP and ask them to work together to save teaching jobs in South Carolina by adopting the less restrictive language.
Listed below are the names and numbers to call:
Sen. Lindsay Graham -202-224-5972

Thank you for your help and immediate attention to this matter!

Hmmmm ….
What this taxpayer-funded email (and The State newspaper's status quo water-carrying) neglects to mention is that South Carolina's public schools are being funded at record levels – just like the rest of state government.
According to the latest spending figures released by the state, our public school system received a record $8.8 billion in 2009 – a $400 million increase in funding from the previous year. That works out to a record $12,268 per pupil – which doesn't even include the hundreds of millions that local districts have stored away in reserve accounts.
All told, S.C. taxpayers spent 4.7 percent more on public education in 2009 than they did in 2008. And as was the case in 2008, non-classroom expenditures are once again eating up the vast majority of the new money. In fact, the percentage of total education funding devoted to the classroom slipped from 44.3 to 43.8 percent in 2009 – even as classrooms received $105 million in new money.
To view the data for yourself click here.
Obviously, this massive influx of cash has done nothing to improve our state's abysmal academic performance. In fact, South Carolina's public schools are falling further behind the rest of the nation … which itself is falling further behind the rest of the world.
South Carolina's overall graduation rate remains among the worst in the nation – which is consistent with our state's declining SAT and stagnating ACT scores. Also, South Carolina's rural graduation rate currently ranks dead last in the country – while our overall graduation rate has improved by a meager 1.5 percent over the last decade, one of the worst percentage improvements in the entire country.
In an effort to hide these miserable outcomes from parents, House Speaker Bobby Harrell (aided by liberal lobbyist J. Warren Tompkins) has been working hard to dumb down the state's costly and inefficient academic assessments. Also, South Carolina remains the only state in America that does not release graduation rates for minority students – yet another effort to conceal the generational failure of our current system.
Worse still? S.C. Gov.-elect Nikki Haley clearly isn't committed to the reforms necessary to turn things around … choosing to turn her back on market-based accountability for all schools (and on the 109,000 children currently trapped in perpetually failing schools).
But it's the overpaid local educrats who are truly failing our state's children.
As we've said in the past, "if these people put as much energy into educating our kids as they obviously put into demanding more tax money, our public schools might actually be worth a damn."
But they're not … and never have been.
Dumb Spiro Spero, right?
Obviously we will fight to preserve the First Amendment right of South Carolina school teachers to petition their government (local, state or federal) for a redress of grievances – but we refuse to tolerate them doing it on taxpayer time, using taxpayer resources.

Axiata Almost Doubles Payout to $966 Million as Net JumpsBarry Porter
Axiata Group Bhd., Malaysia's largest mobile-phone operator, almost doubled its proposed annual dividend payout to 3 billion ringgit ($966 million) after boosting profits.
The carrier, based in Kuala Lumpur, declared a final dividend of 27 sen per share, including a special dividend of 12 sen, according to a stock exchange filing today. That brought its total planned 2012 payout to 35 sen per share, compared with 19 sen a year earlier.
Axiata, which has operations in countries including India, Indonesia and Singapore, began paying dividends in 2011 after previously retaining earnings to fund growth and acquisitions in emerging Asian markets. It increased its payout ratio to 70 percent of earnings in 2012 from 60 percent a year earlier. That's excluding the special dividend.
Net income climbed 4.9 percent to 571.1 million ringgit, or 7 sen per share, in the three months ended Dec. 31, from 544.6 million ringgit, or 6 sen, a year earlier, it said. Revenue gained 4.7 percent to 4.45 billion ringgit.
"I'm very pleased with the group's excellent growth in revenue and profitability despite competition," Jamaludin Ibrahim, Axiata's chief executive officer, said in a separate statement.
Full-year profit rose 7.1 percent to 2.51 billion ringgit, or 30 sen per share, the filing showed. That missed the 32.2 sen average of 34 analysts' estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
'Value Creation'
"In 2012 Axiata's share price grew 28 percent, with total shareholders' return at 32.7 percent, outperforming" the FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI Index for the third consecutive year, Azman Mokhtar, chairman of Axiata and managing director of its biggest shareholder Khazanah Nasional Bhd., said in the statement. "This, alongside the increased dividends, goes a long way toward value creation for shareholders."
Axiata rose 1.9 percent to 6.33 ringgit at the close in Kuala Lumpur. It's dropped 4 percent this year, while the benchmark index has lost 4.4 percent amid investor concern over the outcome of Malaysia's general election this year.
The group also owns stakes in mobile operators in Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Cambodia. Axiata has expressed interest in a license in Myanmar, the company said Jan. 25.

Arsenal central defender Johan Djorou has joined Honnover 96 on loan until the end of the season. The 25 year old Swiss international has only played 2 games this season for Arsenal; He was the captain against Coventry and Reading in the Capital One League Cup. Djorou has featured for the North London Club 144 times since making his debut in2004. He went on loan to Birmingham during the 2007/08 season where he played 13 games. Djorou has had limited first team games mostly due to injuries. He has been capped 30 times by Switzerland and featured in the 2006 World Cup and Euro 2008.
The 25-year-old has a contract at the London club until 2015 but has fallen out of favour with Arsène Wenger, with Per Mertesacker, Laurent Koscielny and Thomas Vermaelen all preferred to him this year. Djorou would be a very good addition to the defence line of the mid table club. The Bundesliga's club coach, Mirko Slomka, has also welcomed the move, praising Djourou's "physical robustness, his tactical understanding and his high level of commitment.

PHL unemployment rate highest in ASEAN? Baldoz says numbers used are incomparable
MANILA (Mabuhay) – Following media reports saying that the Philippines has the highest unemployment rate in ASEAN, Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz on Monday said the numbers used were incomparable.
"Practices in the measurement of unemployment using these criteria through the Labor Force Survey vary from country to country, such as periodicity of data collection, relaxation of a criteria, and reference period, thus, resulting in non-comparability of unemployment rates," she said in a statement e-mailed to media outfits.
At the same time, Baldoz admitted that the Philippines is facing "the challenge of 'jobless growth' squarely and with more vigorous efforts."
Programs to boost employment include: intensified job-skill matching and employment facilitation; enhancement of the productivity of micro, small, and medium enterprises; and facilitating the mobility of professionals.
Baldoz said the Philippines' job placement mechanisms have been cited by the ILO Global Employment Trends 2014 Report saying they will benefit both economies and workers in the ASEAN.
All these government efforts, she said, seek to enhance the employability of workers and the competitiveness of enterprises.
Why 'non-comparable'?
Baldoz cited three differences that resulted in the "non-comparable" comparisons:
- Frequency of data collection
"Malaysia and Thailand collect unemployment data every month, while Cambodia collects data only once a year. On the other hand, Singapore, Vietnam, and Indonesia conduct their LFS every quarter, like the Philippines," she said.
- Definition of criteria for terms in calculating the unemployment rate
"Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia have relaxed their application of the criteria 'seeking work,' while Thailand, Singapore, and Vietnam have not. Specifically, the Philippines has relaxed the criterion 'seeking work' in its unemployment measurement to include those who did not actively looked for work on account that no work is available, temporary illness/disability, bad weather, awaiting result of previous job application, and awaiting for re-hire/job recall," she explained.
- Use of "reference period"
"The Philippines follows the ILO standard 'available for work during the reference period' with an added two weeks following interview date. Singapore and Cambodia use the reference period 'two weeks following interview date.' Thailand uses the reference period 'past week' while Indonesia and Malaysia use 'not specified,'" Baldoz said.
The media reports on the comparative unemployment rates in the region quoted the International Labor Organization's Global Employment Trends 2014.
Baldoz said the Philippines adheres by the ILO standards of measurement of unemployment.
"Without belaboring the ILO Report further, I state that the Philippines adheres to the 1982 ILO Standard on the measurement of unemployment which considers an individual unemployed using the following three criteria: without job, looking for work, and available for work," she said.
Nevertheless, the labor chief said, the government is improving its labor market information delivery systems, "working on a cross-country skills recognition framework through the Philippines Qualifications Framework and Asian Qualifications Referencing Framework." (MNS)

Commonwealth Honors College World Film Series: "The Battle of Algiers"
September 16, 2013
7:00 pm
Commonwealth Honors College Building
Room: 160A
One of the most influential political films in history, The Battle of Algiers, by Italian director Gillo Pontecorvo, vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafés, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them. Pontecorvo's tour de force has astonishing relevance today.

Two hundred years before surf-seeking families descended on the Jersey Shore, Victorian blue bloods were strolling the sidewalks of the Garden State's first beach resort. Fortunately, Cape May hasn't lost an ounce of its laid-back historic charm: trolleys and bicycles still ply streets lined with perfectly-preserved gingerbread houses, while nature lovers spend lazy days spotting humpback whales and migrating birds from the beach.

Bordered by sand dunes and beach grass, La Mer Beachfront Inn looks out on unobstructed views of the glittering Atlantic. Each sophisticated Ocean View Room features cherry wood furniture, a granite wet bar, and Wi-Fi access, as well as a private balcony for soaking up romantic sunsets. A fully equipped fitness center ensures a productive a.m. workout, and an outdoor pool keeps guests cool on Indian summer afternoons. In the evenings, enjoy a classy tipple on the open terrace at the Pier House, La Mer's Mediterranean-inspired restaurant.
"At the southern tip of the Garden State is the jewel of the Jersey shore: Cape May, a beautifully preserved Victorian beach resort that's popular with romance-seeking couples drawn by the impeccably restored inns and quaint vibe..."-- Frommer's
