L.A. Teens Win More Than 70 Medals at Maccabi Games
Team Westside's luggage was a little heavier on its return flight from the Maccabi Games in Houston last month. Athletes won a combined total of 18 medals in three sports at the annual competition, which took place Aug. 5-10.
The boys' 16-and-under basketball team took home the gold medal while one of the two Team Westside boys' 14-and-under squads took silver. Team Westside, which sent 65 athletes total, won five medals in tennis events and swam away with 11 medals in various individual and team swimming events.
Although the majority of the week was spent in competition, all of the athletes at the Maccabi Games engaged in a community service day as part of "JCC Cares." On Aug. 7, Team Westside athletes created art projects with inner-city youth in a partnership with a local YMCA.
This year marked the 30th anniversary of the Maccabi Games, which is organized by the Jewish Community Center Association.
Though the competition is only once a year, Westside JCC Assistant Executive Director Ronnel Conn said that the Team Westside athletes would engage in social and bonding activities throughout the year, including group Shabbat dinners.
"At Westside JCC, we stress that this is not just a one-week competition," he said. "The Maccabi Games are a yearlong experience."
Meanwhile, Team Milken, which participated at Maccabi Games in Rockland, N.Y., and in Memphis, Tenn., also claimed a hefty number of medals. In Memphis, Team Milken took home 60 medals, including 40 in track and field events and 16 in swimming. In Rockland, Team Milken recorded 32 more medals, with 25 in swimming.
After the closing of the Milken JCC in West Hills earlier this year, Team Milken competed in the 2012 Maccabi Games under the auspices of the Westside JCC. Team Milken sent 115 athletes to the two venues.
"We had a fantastic year," said Philip Benditson, who chairs the Milken delegations. "Our athletes had a fantastic time, and we're very blessed to be this athletically talented."

On August 1, 1981 MTV was launched. It was an idea that most people thought ridiculous and doomed to failure. Most people associated with the start up of MTV, on the air and behind the scenes, had had no previous experience in the media. If that wasn't daunting enough, when MTV started there was an incredibly slim selection of music videos to play. But it soon became obvious that MTV would play an important role in shaping the musical tastes of Middle America as well as having a dramatic impact on the artists whose videos were shown. Tune in tonight as Inquiry talks with writer and editor CRAIG MARKS. Along with writer Rob Tannebaum, Craig has written the definitive history of this music video revolution, the wild careers of the early VJs, the accusations of racism in MTVs early programming and the craziness of trying to come up with ideas for the new music vids. Marks and Tannebaum's book is titled I WANT MY MTV: THE UNCENSORED STORY OF THE MUSIC VIDEO REVOLUTION.
For hundreds of years, there have been conspiracy theories that have suggested that a small group of powerful men in secret societies have run the governments of the world for their own benefits. Most of these conspiracy theories are grandiose, unwieldy and unfalsifiable. Many of these theories demonize other social or religious groups like Jews or Catholics. Tonight on Inquiry we talk with writer and researcher ARTHUR GOLDWAG about his latest book THE NEW HATE: A HISTORY OF FEAR AND LOATHING ON THE POPULIST RIGHT. His book delineates the historical precedents for modern groups like "the birthers". We also talk about the nefarious Protocols and the Elders of Zion, that infamous anti-Semitic tract that has influenced paranoid conspiracists like Hitler and Henry Ford for over a hundred years.

I contacted the Falconer researcher several years ago. Based on the
information she had, there was not connection. A number of years ago,
I also asked the Pictou historical folks to check for my Jane Elliot's
baptismal record. One of their volunteers went through their records
and there wasn't a match.
An update on my search. A friend with Ancestry found an Elizabeth
Falconer death records for Montreal. I asked on the Montreal list,
and one of the list members looked up the record. The record gives
her maiden name, McDonald, and her address. The address matches one
of the places the Elliot's lived in Montreal, so that is my
great-great-great grandmother. Not the most informative record, but I
now have her maiden name and that will be a real help.
The friend also found an Elizabeth Falconer arriving in New York by
ship in 1858 and then continuing on to Canada. I'll take a look at
that next time I'm at the library, but that isn't an uncommon name, so
won't get too excited about it.

ANZ's Smith wary of wholesale funding
There was an undercurrent of tension when
The tension simmered below the surface during the briefing for analysts in the morning and then busted into the open during the media briefing on Tuesday afternoon.
Smith made it clear to the media that he thinks the market has got it wrong in its valuation of the only big four bank with a comprehensive Asian strategy.
The super regional Asian strategy being pursued by ANZ includes a commitment to have 25 to 30 per cent of earnings from Asia by 2017.
Never one to stick with convention, Smith broke one of the golden rules in the CEO handbook when he told journalists that ANZ shares were undervalued and Tuesday's spike in the share price was more than justified.
The stock jumped about 1.17 per cent to $33.63 on a day when the market was down half a per cent.
There is no doubt that ANZ is less highly rated than its peers. Its price earnings ratio of 13.7 times is well behind the two leading banks,
That contextual background makes it easier to read between the lines of the latest ANZ profit numbers for the year to September as well as interpret statements made by Smith and his chief financial officer
The first notable feature of the result was ANZ's upside surprise on its final dividend of 91¢ a share. That beat market expectations by about 5¢ a share.
It was a surprise because ANZ said earlier this year it would pay out about 67 per cent of its earnings. Instead its payout was about 69 per cent. No shareholder will complain about that.
The full year dividend was $1.64 a share, up 13 per cent on 2012. ANZ will pay out about $4.5 billion in dividends for the 2013 year.
But the 40 per cent rise in the share price since last year means the stock is yielding less than it was at that time. The yield has dropped from about 5.6 per cent to 4.8 per cent. That is before taking account of the benefits of franking credits.
The next surprise from was the decision by the bank to provide revenue guidance for 2014. That is unusual because since the global financial crisis the big four banks have steered clear of giving guidance.
The world economy was regarded as being too volatile to provide firm guidance, particularly in relation to revenue. The big banks were happy for the analysts to do their models and then live with consensus numbers.
ANZ has not necessarily taken a huge leap forward by saying that its revenue will grow the year to September 2014 by 4 to 5 per cent. The bank is simply putting in black and white the consensus numbers already in the market.
However, it could be argued that in providing revenue guidance Smith has expressed his confidence about the ability of his management team to execute the pan-Asian strategy.
As well as providing guidance on revenue, ANZ has promised to hold expense growth at about 2 per cent. That is actually a pretty big call given that ANZ is already one of the country's most efficient banks. Smith was not content to stick two stakes in the ground for 2014. He provided two other promises in relation to costs and return on equity.
The bank says that by 2016 it will get its cost to income ratio down to 43 per cent and will lift its return on equity to 16 per cent.
These forecasts are brave given the uncertain outlook for the global economy and the rapidly changing competitive environment in Australia and Asia.
Chanticleer's back of the envelope calculations suggest that with ANZ's current capital position, a return on equity of 16 per cent would add another $500 million to profits or 12¢ a share in dividends at the current payout ratio.
It is difficult to forecast what a 16 per cent return on equity would mean for profits in 2016 but depending on the capital position it could mean annual profits of about $8.5 billion.
Whatever way you look at it, ANZ's pursuit of a unique Asian strategy has the potential deliver strong total shareholder returns if management can deliver what they have promised. It would appear that Smith has done everything in his power to provide the ammunition for a re-rating of the stock.
He says the bank is not only firing on all cylinders, it has plenty of gas in the tank. An appropriate analogy for a man who owns several Aston Martins.
The Japanese are normally known for their reserved and methodical approach to business transactions. Nothing is rushed and everything is considered in a slow and deliberate manner.
That reasonably well founded perception of the Japanese does not match what Kirin's
Lion could have slowly soaked up stock in the takeover target at $8.50 a share over a period of weeks.
Instead, it went in with a sledgehammer and picked up 9.9 per cent of the company at $9.25 a share.
It has shown in the most emphatic way possible that it wants a seat at the table if
Warrnambool faces three separate takeover bids. The share and scrip offer from
The bid from Murray Goulburn Co-operative could be made more attractive but it must run the gauntlet of the Competition Tribunal. The bid from Canadian diary giant Saputo was the most attractive financially before Lion turned up but it faces approval from the Foreign Investment Review Board at a time when jingoistic nationalism is strengthening its grip on Canberra. About 46 per cent of Warrnambool's issued capital is now tied up in the hands of three players: Bega Cheese 18 per cent, Murray Goulburn 17.7 per cent and Lion 9.9 per cent.
Lion has a strong commercial interest in Warrnambool's future because of a supply agreement with Warrnambool for the supply of bulk cheese.
In addition, Lion leases a cut and wrap facility from Warrnambool and the Simpson production facility. These two lease agreements apply to both land and buildings. The cut and wrap facility handles the Great Ocean Rd cheese supplied to Coles supermarkets.
Lion's everyday cheese business sells about 12,000 tonnes annually, the overwhelming majority of which is produced by Warrnambool. The contracts between Lion and Warrnambool have a change of control clause. There is nothing to stop Lion making its own bid for Warrnambool but it may well use its stake as leverage to negotiate with the final winner of the bidding war.
The only missing link in the evolving battle for Warrnambool is New Zealand dairy giant Fonterra. It may well have been scared away by the Kirin sledgehammer.

Target: Missouri Governor Jay Nixon
Goal: To make large-scale commercial dog breeding houses ("puppy mills") illegal in the state of Missouri, the nation's largest puppy mill provider
Large-scale commercial dog breeding houses, better known as "puppy mills," are notorious for negligent treatment of the dogs they breed. The mills often sell their dogs to pet shops or directly to the public via the internet or newspaper ads. Due to the big-business philosophy of these operations, animals suffer in substandard conditions while profit is made the top priority.
Disease runs rampant in puppy mills due to the lack of accurate medical and lineage records and the failure to remove ill animals from the breeding grounds. Veterinary care is usually inadequate and the conditions are often overcrowded and unsanitary. Many puppies are brought home with deadly parvoviruses, intestinal parasites, pneumonia, and other illnesses.
Anxiety and unsociable behavior are often observed in puppies from puppy mills, most likely from the trauma endured at these breeding grounds. Puppies are also removed from their litter and mothers at a very young age, which has shown to negatively impact the development of attachment and other important social factors.
Today, Missouri is the leading provider of puppy mills in the country. It would be ideal to eventually put an end to puppy mills in the entire nation. By beginning with the nation's largest puppy mill state, we can set an example to other states and the nation as a whole. Please help to make large commercial breeding operations illegal in the state of Missouri by petitioning Missouri Governor Jay Nixon so that eventually we can help dogs in puppy mills across the country.
Dear Governor Jay Nixon,
The state of Missouri is the largest provider of large-scale commercial dog breeding operations—better known as "puppy mills." These mills have shown to provide substandard health care and living conditions on the breeding grounds, resulting in a great amount of illness and anguish for the animals. Physical and mental consequences are often observed in these dogs once they are taken home.
I ask that you help set an example for the rest of the nation by making large-scale commercial dog breeding operations illegal in the state of Missouri. By doing so, you will help support small-scale, responsible breeders and promote the welfare for dogs across our nation.

Fairfax Media's Domain Property Group has agreed to pay $50 million for Allhomes, the leading real estate marketing website in Canberra.
The Australian Financial Review, published by
Allhomes serves more than 180 real estate agencies in the Australian Capital Territory and the brand will be retained, operating in tandem with Domain in the market.
"I think it does make sense for Domain, given there are big synergies in that sort of business because you just put it onto your website," said
It is understood the $50 million price tag reflects a multiple of less than 10 times earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation.
Fairfax was advised by PwC, while Allhomes was advised by Origin Capital Group with legal advisers Connor Stevens and Meyer Vandenberg.
Allhomes, a private company that is majority owned by the high-profile Blackshaw real estate family, is thought to have spurned an offer from utility joint venture ActewAGL about three years ago.
Domain chief executive
"Allhomes has been a strong operator in the Canberra market for 14 years and is the go-to destination for all property buyers and sellers in the ACT," he said.
Fairfax also owns a national radio network and metropolitan newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age, but given the structural issues in print, Domain has quickly become the company's trophy asset. The property business generated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation growth of 33 per cent to $29.4 million for the six months ended December 31.
Mr Catalano has moved quickly since taking the helm of Domain last year, spending $80 million in acquisitions, re-branding the company and hiring 100 new staff.
Domain is in the process of hiring its first chief financial officer, with the applicant list down to 10 candidates and an appointment expected in the coming weeks.
One leading analyst said the Allhomes acquisition would initially add about $3 million to $4 million a year to Domain's EBITDA. "This is a sensible acquisition for the company," said the analyst.
"There is no argument about this being a reasonable deal."
Fairfax shares closed 3.3 per cent higher at 94¢ on Thursday, while the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 was up by 0.2 per cent.

Microcystins (MC) are potent hepatotoxins produced by the cyanobacteria of the genera
Cyanobacteria are photoautotrophic bacteria commonly found in fresh and brackish waters all over the globe. The cyanobacteria in eutrophic waters and under specific environmental conditions can grow excessively, producing blooms. Cyanobacteria growth is a natural phenomenon, but it is becoming more frequent and severe as a result of anthropogenic activity. One particularity of cyanobacteria is the production of secondary metabolites which are toxic to other organisms. These toxins under situations of excessive cyanobacterial growth can be accumulated in aquatic wildlife and transferred to higher trophic levels with the risk of livestock and human poisoning. Therefore cyanobacterial blooms are regarded as a serious human health issue [
The microcystins (MC), produced by species of the genera
Nevertheless there are identified over 80 variants of this molecule [
Human health problems are most likely related with chronic exposure to low MC concentrations through consumption of contaminated waters and food (agricultural products, fish, prawns, and mollusks), dermal exposure and inhalation. Liver is the most affected organ in humans but the exposure to the toxin is likely to affect organs such as kidney and colon as evidenced by
The MC are non-ribosomal peptides synthesized by a multi-functional protein complex containing non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) domains [
The molecular mechanisms of microcystins toxicity are being investigated and advances have been reached in the knowledge of the activity of this cyclic peptide at cellular and molecular level. Moreover the molecular basis of MC biotransformation is being elucidated. This review aims to analyze the information published so far regarding the molecular aspects of MC toxicity and bio-transformation in animal systems. A summary of the main proteins reported and their roles in MC mediated cell injury is presented in the
MCs cannot readily diffuse through plasma membrane due to the high molecular weight and structure. It is also known that due to the cell specificity and organotropism of MC-LR, selective pathways of MC up-take might exist. Ericksson
One of the most studied pathways of MC activity is the inhibition of serine/threonine protein phosphatases by interacting with the catalytic subunits of these enzymes [
Two pathways of DNA repair, the nucleotide excision repair (NER) and the DNA double strand break (DSB) repair by the nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) have been shown to be inhibited by MC, pointing out the genotoxic attributes of the toxin [
The calcium-calmodulin-dependent multifunctional protein kinase II (CaMKII) is activated by Ca2+/calmodulin, autophosphorylation and limited proteolysis. CaMKII can be activated by caspases thereby contributing to the downstream events in apoptosis. Fladmark
The Nek2, a member of the NIMA-related serine/threonine kinase family, is a cell cycle dependent protein kinase that participates in the control of mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. Expression of this protein has been related with a wide variety of human cancers [
The nuclear phosphoprotein P53 is induced in response to cellular stress. It plays a role as a transcriptional trans-activator in DNA repair, apoptosis and tumor suppression pathways [
Another protein putatively involved in MC toxicity is Bcl-2. Lin
Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPKs) regulate the expression of proto-oncogenes which on the other hand regulate the transcription of genes involved in the growth and differentiation [
A biochemical feature of MC toxicity is the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This ROS generation has been reported using
The excessive activity of leukocytes in lesion areas of the body has been regarded to induce tissue injury and microvascular dysfunction. This is the result of the release, by the neutrophils, of proteolytic enzymes and reactive oxygen and nitrogen metabolites which will promote tissue damage [
Multi-xenobiotic resistance (MXR) is a physiological process analogous to the multidrug resistance (MDR) reported in tumor cells. It is a defense mechanism that contributes to the decrease in intracellular concentrations of many unrelated but cytotoxic compounds. The processes are characterized by the increase in the expression of multidrug transporters such as the P-glycoprotein (P-gp). In mammalian tumor cells this increase of P-gp expression leads to a drop in the accumulation of chemotherapeutical drugs as well as the formation of resistant tumor cells [
MC are potent hepatotoxins, with genotoxic properties. They are strong inhibitors of the serine/threonine phosphatases PP1 and PP2A. This is probably the main mechanism of action of these toxins through which alters cell's metabolism and triggers a cascade of events leading to the necrosis or apoptosis of animal cells (

Vilnius (XNA) Feb 25, 2016
Vice-President of the European Commission (EC) responsible for the EU's energy union Maros Sefcovic met with Lithuanian leaders on Monday to discuss the creation of the Energy Union, regional energy projects and concerns on the security of Astravyets nuclear power plant in Belarus.
Sefcovic started his two-day visit to Lithuania with meeting Lithuanian President Dalia Grybauskaite. According to the president's Office, Grybauskaite emphasized the security concerns in regards to the Astravyets nuclear power plant which is being built in neighboring Belarus, around 50 kilometers away from Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital.
"We must demand, through the concerted efforts of the EU and the whole international community, that the Astravyets power plant complies with the highest international security standards, that a transparent and independent environmental impact assessment is made and that risk and safety assessments are carried out," the Lithuanian president was quoted as saying during the meeting in a press release.
Grybauskaite has also criticized the second line of the gas pipeline Nord Stream planned to be stretched under the Baltic Sea saying that it "can become a second Mistral test for the European Union."
Lithuanian leaders and Vice-President of the EC have also discussed the creation of the energy union, the EU wide project aimed at creating a single energy market with integrated legislation and integrated systems.
Sefcovic has also presented the Winter Package, a proposal from the EC on new regulations aimed at strengthening energy infrastructure and increase the level of liquefied natural gas supplies in Europe.
It's been more than a year since Lithuania built itself an LNG terminal to diversify its natural gas supplies and lower dependency on Gazprom, the Russian gas supplier. Lithuania's LNG project has been put as an example by the Winter Package.
"We've been speaking about the LNG terminal in Klaipeda as the EU wide success story," Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas Butkevicius told a press conference after the meeting.
During his stay in Lithuania, Sefcovic is to visit the country's terminal in Klaipeda seaport, Western Lithuania. The Vice-President said he was pleased to come to the country that has managed to change its landscape in a "short period of time and in a positive manner."
"For me it would serve as a clear example that if the energy union works, the prices go down," said Sefcovic in a joint press conference. He highlighted that with the new terminal gas prices in Lithuania decreased from 36 euros per megawatt-hour to around 17 euros per megawatt-hour.
Butkevicius paid special attention to synchronization of the Baltic States' electricity systems. After building electricity interconnection links with Poland and Sweden, the next most important strategic goal for Lithuania is the synchronization of electricity system with Europe, according to Butkevicius.
"We have a clear cut-off date when we would like to accomplish it and this would be 2025," said the Vice-President of the EC.

Environmentalists are praising the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's first-ever rules on mercury emissions from gold mining.
Earthworks, an international mining reform group, said gold operations contribute 10 percent of the toxic mercury about 2,775 pounds that is released from all U.S. industrial facilities, based on EPA's tally of pollution sources, the Toxics Release Inventory.
"It's high time the gold industry is required to limit mercury emissions that have long been a danger to children's health," said Earthworks' Bonnie Gestring. "The industry has been enjoying record profits, while releasing needlessly high amounts of mercury pollution."
Eight of the regulated gold operations with total mercury emissions of 2,564 pounds in 2009 are in Nevada and have been suspected as a source of mercury in Utah lakes and streams. Some of the highest levels of mercury's toxic form, methylmercury, have been found in the Great Salt Lake.
The lake has the nation's only consumption advisory for waterfowl because of those high mercury levels. In addition, mercury-contaminated fish have prompted consumption advisories in 16 Utah lakes and streams.
Airborne mercury lands in water, where fish and waterfowl accumulate methylmercury in their flesh. Humans who eat contaminated fish also can build up high levels, so the advisories are aimed at reducing the risk of ingesting too much mercury.
Women of childbearing age and children are at greatest risk because methylmercury damages developing brains and nervous systems sometimes even before children are born.
The new emission limits will require gold producers to cut mercury releases by more than 75 percent of 2007 levels.
And, while Kennecott's copper concentrator generated 29.4 pounds of mercury air emissions in 2009, according to the TRI, company spokeswoman Jana Kettering said Kennecott would have to read the new rules to understand how they might apply. The Salt Lake County operations produce about 400,000 troy ounces (around 13 tons) of gold a year.
EPA said more than 20 facilities that extract gold from ore will need to meet the new requirements within three years. Some reductions already have been realized thanks to monitoring and clean air equipment that already has been required by the state of Nevada.
Utah environmental consultant and activist Ivan Weber applauded the new limits, though he called them too long in coming.
"It's clear that mercury from Nevada comes here by air," Weber said, noting that the limits should have some impacts in Utah.
"It will help prevent further poisoning of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem. Whether this heals [the environmental damage already done], we don't know," he said.

So businesses sales will definitely fall (including some of JC's because of the shark injectors) when a program like this comes out. Also since we would be able to save different tunes, you wouldn't really have to know how to tune, you could in essence use someones tune. So I think that JC has realized this and now is holding off on it until the last possible second.

What Jim needs to do is a setup like this
I used to tune GM cars and every car I tuned I charged the client 100$ for 2 credits depending on car right off the bat that money went to Hptuners. Now Jim would make a fortune with a setup like that.
Incryption is in the OBDII controller and credits stored in ROM instead of the software.
I cant wait for Jim to release Shark edit.... Does Jim come to this forum sometimes?!?
Jim if you are reading this PM me if you need help with encryption programming...I can offer my help for free...for the community.

Delivery firms are providing warehouses and vehicles to UN agencies to ease logistical problems and other firms are donating millions of dollars.
Telecoms firms, meanwhile, are sending staff to rebuild shattered networks.
More than 150,000 people have died, with millions left homeless and economies ravaged across the region.
"We're very, very happy with the level of corporate donations," World Health Organisation crisis co-ordinator David Nabarro told AP.
Hands-on help
Among those firms contributing in kind are DHL, which is giving free use of warehouses in Jakarta to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees and sending planes to help transport aid.
Fellow delivery firm TNT is donating trucks to take aid from Jakarta to Aceh province, the worst-hit area of Indonesia.
Both firms are part of the Disaster Resource Network, an organisation started by members of the World Economic Forum in 2002.
Other firms in the network are helping manage incoming cargo at Sri Lanka's main international airport in Colombo.
British Telecom, Cable & Wireless and DaimlerChrysler have all sent engineers to the region.
Other practical assistance has included drugs from companies such as Altana in Germany and Sanofi-Aventis in France, as well as food aid from firms such as Switzerland's Nestle.
New donations on Tuesday included $5m (£2.7m) apiece from the US's Dow Chemical and UK bank Standard Chartered; 2m euros ($2.65m; £1.4m) from Swiss insurer Zurich Financial; 1m euros from German insurer Allianz; and $1m from French telecoms group Alcatel.
Other donors to date include Pfizer, Coca-Cola, Exxon and Microsoft in the US, and BP, HSBC and Vodafone from the UK.
Many firms such as BASF in Germany are offering to match their staffs' donations, while some European mobile phone companies say they will give up to one euro for every text message sent to a crisis hotline.
In Asia, Australia's Qantas, Fosters and several others giving 1m Australian dollars ($760,000; £400,000) apiece.
News Corp - now listed in the US but still headquartered in Australia - contributed US$1m.
Japanese companies have traditionally been slower to participate in charitable activities.
But with many exporters running big manufacturing operations in the region - and thanks to a particularly strong existing aid relationship with Sri Lanka - the tsunami crisis is different.
Toyota Motor is donating a minimum of 100m yen ($960,000; £510,000), with Matsushita sending 20m yen along with food packages and thousands of electric torches and batteries.
Among others, Toshiba is donating 22m yen, Hitachi is giving 20m yen and food maker Ajinomoto says it is donating 40m yen.

I chose St. Andrew's because of the emphasis on the integration of our theological studies with practical ministry experience and community involvement.
St. Andrew's blessed my life with social struggles and deep faith.
St. Andrew's prepared me
for a lifetime of ministry
and congregational service.
I grew in confidence over time, due in large part to the support of teachers, family and friends and the tenacious presence of the Spirit.
I am grateful for what I have experienced and learned from
St. Andrew's College including
a strong sense of community.
There's a whole new approach to telling the story of St. Andrew's College.
A video that captures the college's spirit, sense of the community and commitment to justice-driven education for Christian leadership is one of the ways in which St. Andrew's is sharing its story with prospective students, the United Church community and those who support the college.
"The video seeks to serve as an invitation to those who may be considering theological education and to share with everyone something of life at St. Andrew's these days," said principal Lorne Calvert.
"Most of the filming for the video was done during our orientation week early in September and so it focuses on the group of our students who are on campus this term."
The video produced by Tara Yolan Productions of Saskatoon saw hours' worth of video shot by a three-person crew during the course of several days. Yolan then edited the interviews and images into a fast-moving, four-minute presentation.
In addition to filming the student gatherings, chapel service and other activities that took place during orientation, several students and faculty members took part in interviews to share their thoughts about the St. Andrew's community of learning, faith and fellowship.
"I knew that St. Andrew's would be the place that I would want to go if ministry was the path for me," student Mitchell Anderson says in the video. "I really knew this was the place for me."
"To be here," adds student Doug Neufeld, "on campus, in the community, in the culture is really exciting."
The production touches on the contributions of the college's faculty and their role and commitment in delivering a theological education rooted in social justice and delivered with a Prairie perspective.
"We are so not about dogma," says Prof. Nettie Wiebe. "We are so about Christian leadership and practice in a world that seeks — that cries — for justice."
It also highlights the way in which the college, through the generous assistance of its many supporters, is working to make students' goals of a career in ministry a reality through financial support, including a tuition-paid residency experience as students participate in practical ministry.
"Students come out of here ready to go," notes Prof. Don Schweitzer. "They have a confidence in who they are, what they have learned and their ability to do ministry."
The video helps to put on a face on the college community — students, faculty and staff — and serves an accessible and easily approachable way to introduce prospective students to what St. Andrew's has to offer. It will also used by principal Lorne Calvert for presentations to United Church congregations and other supporters as a way to invite them to share in the spirit of St. Andrew's. Copies on DVD will be available those who may want a copy for congregational or community use.
The video may be viewed on the St. Andrew's YouTube channel and on the college's Facebook page. Still photos from the video shoot may be viewed on the St. Andrew's College Flickr page. We invite you to watch the video and share it with your friends, fellow church members and those interested in the how St. Andrew's is continuing its long tradition as The United Church of Canada's centre for theological education and ordination in the Prairie region.
As an Affirming Ministry within the United Church of Canada, we are welcoming and inclusive of people of all sexual orientations and gender identities.

Papa Jack Weil, owner of Rockmont Ranch Wear in Denver, Co, died last Wednesday. He continued to show up for work every day, even when he was 107 years old.
We lost the oldest CEO in Colorado, and probably in the U.S., this week. Rockmount Ranch Wear founder Jack A. Weil died Wednesday at the age of 107.RIP Papa Jack Weil, 1901–2008
Grandson Steve Weil, Rockmount's 49-year-old president, recently told Rocky contributor Bill Gallo that "Papa Jack" had reduced his work schedule in recent times from 12-hour days to five mornings a week. "But he was still active. He loved being the greeter. He talked to 50 people a day."
"My grandfather was to Western shirts what Levi's was to blue jeans," Steve Weil told Gallo. "One of his most remarkable traits was an ability to live on his own terms. That's probably the result of growing up in the early 1900s and enduring the Depression. He was self-made and self-educated, and he had a strong code of ethics."

TALKING: Jumbo Loans; Shopping Around for Good Deals
By ANDREE BROOKS
Published: March 26, 1989
AS the prices of homes have soared - particularly in areas like the Northeast and West Coast - so have the needs for buyers to seek jumbo, or ''nonconforming,'' mortgage loans. These are loans that exceed $187,600, the limit for individual dwelling set by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac, the Government-chartered corporations that regularly buy home loans from lenders.
As a result, the lender must turn to a private investor pool to unload a jumbo loan, or keep it in his long-term portfolio - which reduces the lender's liquidity. Thus the jumbo loan has traditionally been more costly and difficult to obtain.
But lenders increasingly view the jumbo market as worthwhile because so many more properties are now involved. Moreover, private investor pools are more willing to buy these loans. The Boston Five bank, for instance, now writes one jumbo loan for every 10 regular loans compared with hardly any 10 years ago, said John Battaglia, vice president of residential lending.
Further, writing one jumbo loan has turned out to be many times as profitable as taking in dozens of smaller, conforming loans. For example, one $500,000 loan generates, on average, the same initiation fees as 10 smaller loans, each valued at $100,000, but that one jumbo will cost the lender far less time and effort to process than handling 10 applications. ''No wonder it's becoming a very active and competitive area of lending,'' said Barry Havemann, president of HSH Associates, a mortgage monitoring service in Butler, N.J.
The borrower may be in a far stronger bargaining position when shopping for a jumbo loan, but how does he get the best deal?
First, some conventional wisdom may have to be reappraised. In contrast to the more modest home buyer, brokers report the higher-priced customer needing the jumbo loan traditionally resists shopping around in favor of a bank with which that buyer regularly does business. ''They tell you they prefer to deal with their own sources,'' said Lila Murphy, a broker with Douglas Elliman Pickering of Greenwich, Conn.
However, while these sources may provide superior and highly customized commercial or personal banking service, they may not be able to offer the best deals on a jumbo home mortgage.
Barbara Fox, president of Fox Residential Group of Manhattan, which specializes in higher priced properties, tells of the buyer of an $800,000 co-op on the Upper West Side. The man was a longtime and valued customer at one of the best-known banks in New York City so he was certain, she said, that it would give him the best rate. Thus he had not looked elsewhere and was amazed, she recalled, when she was able to counter the deal his bank had offered with less costly terms from a lesser-known lender from Boston.
Shopping is vital, insists Mr. Havemann, because of the sharp variations in interest rates charged on jumbo loans. Earlier this month, he noted that the most expensive lender in the New York area was offering jumbos on an adjustable rate schedule that started at 7.5 percent. Another was pegging his initial rate at 10 percent. On a $500,000 loan this would mean paying $4,400 a month compared with $3,500.
However, comparison shopping among jumbo lenders often means taking a national or regional sampling, so anyone seeking a jumbo loan may be well advised to work with a mortgage broker who has national contacts or use a mortgage monitoring service.
For example, Manhattan Mortgage Company is a New York City mortgage brokerage concern specializing in jumbo loans. It represents two dozen jumbo lenders nationwide. These range from institutions whose names are household words to those that few people outside the industry know, according to Ellen Feldchreiber, the president - although all, she insists, are reputable.
Increasingly, she said, these jumbo lenders are offering interest rates slightly lower, not higher, than for a conventional-size loans - possibly because the competition is now so fierce.
ALTHOUGH she was reluctant to divulge names, she said that two lenders with which she works also decrease their standard points charge as the size of the loan increases. Such discounts are usually offered, she said, once the loan exceeds $250,000. Other perks may include a more advantageous margin above the index used on the adjustable schedule.
But a spot check of some of better-known lenders in the New York area showed that most still charge more for jumbos - about a quarter to a half of a percentage point higher if a fixed rate is being requested. The cost of the adjustable loan, however, remains the same regardless of the loan amount. The application fee should not rise with loan size, but there may be an extra charge for a second appraisal, which many banks require when dealing in big numbers.
Another way to check out these different deals is through a service like HSH Associates. Mr. Havemann said his jumbo loan list has become the most popular type of mortgage comparison list he offers to consumers. He charges $20 for the list and the same if the borrower prefers to buy the information on computer disk, which can evaluate data entered by the borrower. For a further $20 HSH will fax the 20-page list. Write: HSH Associates, 1200 Route 23, Butler, N.J. 07405. Or call: 1-800-UPDATES.
The qualifying criteria at each lending institution may differ sharply when applying for a jumbo loan. For example, People's Bank of Bridgeport, Conn., tends to be more strict when it comes to the larger borrower. ''We look more closely at a lot of things,'' said John Jackson, vice president of mortgage lending.
Total carrying costs, he said, are normally limited to 24 to 26 percent of gross monthly income, compared with the bankers' customary rule of thumb of 28 to 33 percent. By contrast, the Boston Five often increases the loan-to-income allowance on jumbo loans, going as high as 40 percent of income. The rationale is that the percentage left over is so much more that the borrower will probably not be under much of a strain.
People's wants the jumbo borrower to have a net worth of around 1.5 times the loan amount to act as a cushion in case the borrower's high income is suddenly curtailed. Without that net worth the bank may lend only 60 to 70 percent of value instead of the full 80 percent normally provided. Chemical Bank may lend only 70 percent of value whenever a loan exceeds $500,000.

Condensed Matter Seminar, Tk Lee, "Recent progress on the variational approach to understand high temperature superconductors".
Abstract: Since the pioneering proposal by Anderson that the superconducting state of high-Tc cuprates can be described by the resonanting-valence-bond (RVB) state, a number of important results to support the idea were obtained by using the variational approach to study the t-J model. However, two major issues were not addressed at the underdoped region. The presence of "Fermi arc" in the pseudogap state and the seemingly ubiquitous stripe states have attracted many works to search for competing mechanisms not included in the theory. We will demonstrate that the fluctuation of the mean-field order parameters used in the RVB state is actually the origin of the "competition". A simple model is proposed to explain the observation of half-doped stripes observed by neutron scattering experiments on cuprates. Furthermore, we will present a numerical formalism to carry out the variational Monte Carlo calculation using the RVB state with particle number fluctuation.
Up to now almost all of the numerical results were obtained using the projected wave function with a fixed number of particles or in the canonical scheme as contrary to the BCS wave function with a constant phase. Results of the two methods will be compared in this talk. Prospect of using this wave function to understand the pseudogap state will be discussed.

Lions vs. Packers: Critical Loss Proves Detroit Is Not Ready to ContendOctober 6, 2013
The Detroit Lions traveled to Lambeau Field on Sunday and suffered their second defeat of the season at the hands of the Green Bay Packers and remain tied for first place in the NFC North rather than furthering their lead.
While quarterback Matthew Stafford and Co. were without star receiver Calvin Johnson, the Lions were exposed as a team weak in multiple areas and clearly unprepared for a trip to the playoffs in 2013.
Detroit lost 22-9, which is kind considering the team failed to score a touchdown until about two minutes remained in the contest.
Stafford and the offense obviously missed Megatron, but there is no excuse for Stafford only tallying 262 yards and one touchdown while connecting with eight different receivers. The offensive line certainly didn't help matters, as Stafford was sacked five times.
Defensively, an area where Detroit continues to be nothing but mediocre, the Lions gave up 449 total yards and allowed Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers to complete 66 percent of his passes en route to 274 yards and a touchdown.
The dominant pair of defensive tackles Nick Fairley and Ndamukong Suh? They did little as Rodgers was sacked just once and routinely had all day to pick apart what is clearly a shaky at best Detroit secondary.
Keep in mind the pair's ineffectiveness came against a weak Green Bay offensive line that allowed Rodgers to be sacked 10 times in three games prior to the contest.
The defense was not any better against the run, allowing rookie back Eddie Lacy to gash the front for 99 yards and the team as a whole to rush for 180.
Speaking of running, Detroit's star back Reggie Bush was bottled up and limited to just 44 yards on 13 carries.
All in all, the overall performance for Detroit is in no way a shock. The Lions could not defeat the Packers last year with a healthy Johnson (who went for over 110 in each game) and have defeated only one team with a winning record so far this season.
Blame Johnson's absence for the coverage sacks and lack of running room, but this is a similar Lions team that only won four games last year and too-heavily relies on one player to cover for a plethora of gaping holes on the roster.
Until Detroit can stop surrendering 25 points per game and find another weapon on offense that does not hinge on Johnson's presence to produce, the Lions will continue to falter against contenders.
There is plenty of season left and Detroit remains in first place, but there are no games on the remaining schedule that can be considered a guarantee. Until the grievous issues on display against Green Bay are resolved, Detroit will struggle to compete consistently with the NFL's best.

Rear 1.5" lower than front
The rear of my 01 325i Sedan w/ sport package is noticeably lower than the front. I've only had the car a couple of months so I'm not sure what could be causing it. Measurements from the ground to the fender: 26" in front 24.5" in the rear. The tires are size 225/45/17 in the front and 245/40/17 in the rear. Anybody have any ideas?
check your rear shocks you could have a blown shock, i read earlier about a guy that came out and his car was lower in the back and there was fluid on the ground and the shock was blown. It could also be a broken spring? im not sure just get it all looked at.
Check to see if ur spring are not broken.
Your springs are broken. 1.5" suggests that the break is roughly two coils up from the bottom. This is a VERY common problem (especially in northern states). Take this as an opportunity to replace the shocks and springs with something better, since you shocks are likely blown as well.
Like everyone else said, broken rear spring. Depending on how long it's been like that it has probably caused the rear shock to become blown. Time to upgrade! :thumbsup:
if your springs are broken I have a set of stock sport springs that you can have for cheap, PM me of you want them
Any of you guys running the H&R Cup Kit or FK Highsport? I plan on doing a few autocross events but it is my daily driver. I want something under $1000 with a drop of no more than 1.6". Any other suggestions?
Then the cup kit will do find for you.
The rear fenders are cut lower than the fronts by design to allow more room for the fronts to turn.

You add in ~ 3- 3.5 inches for tires and you are spec on.

1910-1994The source of the given name of Leta is "laeta",
a Latin word meaning "Gladly" or "Joyfully"
Click on photo to enlarge
Born in Buffalo, Erie Co., New York, the daughter of Edward Oliver Hamilton Logan & Adele Voos/Vohs, Leta married Frederick Lawrence Hapeman, the son of Edward Hapeman & Laura May Mitchell.
The family was living at 1329 Niagara St., Buffalo, in Jan 1920. Leta was just 9 years old. Leta attended Public School #9 until the end of the sixth grade. Due to family financial problems, she was forced to leave school to find employment. Her field of expertise was child care and she found a position as governess for the four children of George P. and Florence Urban, of the George Urban Milling Co. She lived at their residence on Linwood Avenue for a number of years. Their children were Katharine, Henry, Florence and Ada Marie. You can view their silhouettes as young children in the 1920s
(click to enlarge)
Her knowledge of crafts included sewing, crocheting, & knitting.
She taught her daughter all but knitting.
Leta's lack of education did not stop her from performing wizardry with finances after she married Fred. During the depression years when Fred was out of work, she did the menial job of house cleaning for affluent families. For a while Leta worked for Mary Lincoln Candies, as a chocolate dipper. She also held a factory position at Colonial Radio, where she learned how to solder wiring. Fred said that she was better at the task than he. At the onset of World War Two, Leta worked at Curtiss-Wright on Grider Street where she learned to rivet and was one of the original 'Rosie the Riveters' of that era. Riveting was to be her trade for the rest of her career. After the war, she was employed by an aircraft factory, Twin Coach Industries, Cheektowaga, New York, until she retired in 1971.
In the summer of 1971, Leta and Fred sold their Olympic Ave. home and retired in San Diego, California. They purchased a lovely home on Wendell St. It was in San Diego, that Leta developed a love of gardening. She raised many fine vegetables, which she canned or gave to others. As the love of the outdoors drew her, she joined The Geranium Society and The Cactus and Succulent Society and was a member for many years. Leta never seemed to tire of learning. While in her late sixties, she attended classes to make sewing patterns.
About 1992 she developed signs of Alzheimer's dementia. Fred, up in years, and in poor health, could no longer care for her. Fred and Leta moved to their daughter's home in the Mira Mesa area of San Diego, where she lived until her death at home in 1994
Sorrento Valley, San Diego.

If you want to know the state of our political class, just review what has transpired over the past four weeks. First there is the John Boehner confession in which he discovered that Barack Obama is not all that serious about cutting spending and the President views our present fiscal crisis as merely a revenue problem. The problem with Boehner's discovery is that it was self-evident for a long time that Obama always wanted to grow government and transform America. Why this it so hard to believe for many beltway Republicans and a few conservatives? For Boehner to have a Eureka moment after negotiating with this President for four years simple indicates a naivety on his part.
The second is Ed Koch's revelation that he is not surprised Obama would quickly change his policy toward Israel away from his pro-Israel proclamations during the election but it was done so quickly after the election. The former Mayor has always viewed the support of Israel as one of his key issues but yet he supported a President who views he didn't truly trust. He even made a public proclamation that Obama will continue to support Israel unequivocally, encouraging his fellow Jews to support Obama. Koch observed: "I did what I thought was warranted and intelligent. He was going to win… I thought it would be helpful to have a Jewish voice there, being able to communicate." He added that, "Jews were going to vote for him no matter what." There you have it, a Democrat tells his fellow Jews to vote Obama because well, they were going to vote for Obama anyway but yet felt that many Jews would be disappointed with his second administration policy toward Israel. I don't think I have to add any more to this.
Then there is the infamous platinum coin solution. We have individuals including economist Paul Krugman suggesting that if the Republicans want to tie spending cuts to the debt limits, there is a way out for President Obama. Print up a Platinum trillion dollar coin and stick it in the treasury. You read that right, print up a Platinum trillion dollar coin and viola, problem solved, debt limit secured and we can go on our merry way. Ann Althouse summed up the absurdity of this, "It's strange that it's come to this, but I don't believe the President of the United States would choose to do something that will strike the people as so bizarre, even if he feels capable of articulating the legal theory with a straight face. The President must maintain the people's trust and confidence. He must be comprehensible as normal, sound, and sane to ordinary folks." Yes, it has come to this. We have some of the best and brightest coming up with an idea that doesn't even pass the plausibility test. Why not print up 16 trillion dollars worth of platinum coins and eliminate the debt all together? I won't even bother to deal with the theory behind this nonsense only to suggest that we have members of the ruling class that are naïve, deceptive to their own supporters and finally, coming up with just plain nutty ideas!

When Chris Canty and Rocky Bernard left as free agents in the offseason, Giants fans were right to worry about the depth on the defensive line. Bernard had been a stalwart against the run, and Canty was a versatile player who could defend the run and also rush the passer when it was called for.
After a busy offseason and, the defensive line is now completely revamped. Cullen Jenkins and Linval Joseph were brought in as veteran free agents from the Eagles, while Johnathan Hankins and Damontre Moore were added with New York's second and third round draft picks, respectively.
With Jason Pierre-Paul still not practicing because of back issues, depth on the line is a necessity. The good news is that Justin Tuck likes what he sees from the young players.
"I see a lot of guys who are making our defensive staff's job very difficult," noted Tuck. "The competition is very heated in that group. I really don't see anybody out of that group who isn't going to have a job somewhere. Obviously we can't keep them all, but everyone in that defensive line room has a chance to play somewhere this year. And that's rare."
If Pierre-Paul can't start in Week 1, the Giants still have Tuck, Mathias Kiwanuka, and Moore to rush the passer. That's not even counting Adrian Tracy, who has developed into a pretty good pass rusher after three years in New York's system. On the inside, Jenkins and Patterson should provide support to Linval Joseph. Veteran Shaun Rogers and rookie Hankins should be more that adequate as reserve players.
"We've got a good group," said Tuck about the defensive front. "The two rookies on our D-line have stood out. Moore has been explosive. He's still very raw, but you can see the talent; you can see the potential there. Hank is quiet. He's more polished. You can tell he's had great coaching, he's played big-time football. Both of them have, but Hank just seems to be a little more polished right now, but with potential, Moore is off the radar right now."
The Giants have more depth at tackle right now and would probably prefer Moore to be the more polished rookie, but beggars can't be choosers. The rookie out of Texas A&M won't need to be more than a pass-rushing specialist if Pierre-Paul and Tuck are healthy.
Meanwhile one of the forgotten men on the line is Marvin Austin. He was drafted with a second round pick in 2011, but missed his entire rookie season with a torn pectoral muscle. Last season, he was limited by a back injury and only played in part of eight games.
"Last year I felt good coming into training camp. I worked hard, was in shape and everything," explained Austin. "And then I had the back injury and stuff. That really took a lot out of me. I lost all the strength in my right leg. I couldn't run. I couldn't do anything for a month. That's why I sat out all of those games. I felt like I came back a little too early; I never got a chance to heal."
Now that he's finally healthy, Austin is convinced that he can add to New York's strength on the interior.
"I feel really healthy now," said Austin. "Taking all the proper precautions, making sure my core is strong. Making sure my body is as strong as it can possibly be. If you watch the film, you can see that I'm a totally different player than I was last year."
Just as it is during every training camp, we only see the players at their best. The team looks great on paper now, but we won't really know if it has improved until we see it in action.
"We won't know that until we start playing games," said Austin on how the revamped line will perform. "The names don't mean anything compared to what we're doing on the field. I can't really say anything about that until we go and play against the Cowboys and these other teams and see how well we do against them."

Volunteers from the RSPB will be out searching the coastline in north east England for dead seabirds which have been washed up on the shore.
The information will be used to see how the birds died - from starvation, oil pollution or from natural sources.
An RSPB spokesman said the poll was a "valuable tool" in helping the birds, and it could help save them in future.
The RSPB is worried that there could be another incident like in March 2004, when hundreds of fulmars died of starvation and were washed up on the shore.
It's thought this was caused by a shortage of sandeels - small fish which the birds eat.
The government has announced plans for better protection for marine birds and animals, which the RSPB says is good news, but the spokesman added that action is needed urgently and must be enough to make a difference.

For Zack Kopplin, it all started back in 2008 with the passing of the Louisiana Science Education Act. The bill made it considerably easier for teachers to introduce creationist textbooks into the classroom. Outraged, he wrote a research paper about it for a high school English class. Nearly five years later, the 19-year-old Kopplin has become one of the fiercest — and most feared — advocates for education reform in Louisiana. We recently spoke to him to learn more about how he's making a difference.
Kopplin, who is studying history at Rice University, had good reason to be upset after the passing of the LSEA — an insidious piece of legislation that allows teachers to bring in their own supplemental materials when discussing politically controversial topics like evolution or climate change. Soon after the act was passed, some of his teachers began to not just supplement existing texts, but to rid the classroom of established science books altogether. It was during the process to adopt a new life science textbook in 2010 that creationists barraged Louisiana's State Board of Education with complaints about the evidence-based science texts. Suddenly, it appeared that they were going to be successful in throwing out science textbooks.
"This was a pivotal moment for me," Kopplin told io9. "I had always been a shy kid and had never spoken out before — I found myself speaking at a meeting of an advisory committee to the State Board of Education and urging them to adopt good science textbooks — and we won." The LSEA still stood, but at least the science books could stay.
No one was more surprised of his becoming a science advocate than Kopplin himself. In fact, after writing his English paper in 2008 — when he was just 14-years-old — he assumed that someone else would publicly take on the law. But no one did.
"I didn't expect it to be me," he said. "By my senior year though, I realized that no one was going to take on the law, so for my high school senior project I decided to get a repeal bill."
How 19-year-old activist Zack Kopplin is making life hell for Louisiana's creationists

The big miners led the local sharemarket marginally higher on Monday as improved Chinese data over the weekend outweighed a lacklustre export result from the world's second-largest economy.
This is near the index's 2012 high of 4571.1 points on October 19.
The market surrendered solid rises in early trading, after China's exports disappointed at just 2.9 per cent growth in November from a year ago, with imports unchanged for a trade surplus of $19.6 billion.
Analysts had expected 9 per cent growth in exports and a 2 per cent lift in imports. Yet miners were supported by the detail in the data, which showed iron ore imports rose 8.2 per cent over the same period.
Pengana Global Resources fund manager Ric Ronge said the result confirmed China had bottomed and was growing again.
"All those companies [BHP, Rio and Fortescue] are iron-ore related –as a better China equals a better iron ore price," Mr Ronge said.
The iron ore price on Friday gained 2.2 per cent to $US121.
BHP on Monday jumped 2.8 per cent to $34.95 while Rio rose 2 per cent to $61.30.
Fortescue lifted 6.9 per cent to $4.05 for its largest daily gain since September 18, after reaching an agreement with joint-venture partner BC Iron, which included a partial divestment of its interest for $190 million and increasing capacity on their Nullagine iron ore project.
Mr Ronge suggested the market was also reacting to a better than expected jobs figure from the US on Friday. The world's largest economy added 146,000 jobs in November as the unemployment rate fell to 7.7 per cent, it lowest in nearly four years.
Yet the fall in unemployment was driven by a drop in people seeking work, with labour force participation at 63.6 per cent – close to its lows of the 1981 recession.
The Federal Reserve is expected to announce an expansion of its QE3 bond buying program when it meets on Tuesday and Wednesday, given no material improvement in labour market conditions. An extension would see the US central bank continue to buy $US45 billion a month of Treasury securities under its "Operation Twist" program.
Domestically, housing finance to owner-occupiers was little changed in October, edging 0.1 per cent higher and well below expectations for growth of 3 per cent. The result was constrained by a dip in lending to first home buyers, down 2.8 per cent.
