Your Bank Name Here City, State Correspondent Banking Risk Policy NOTE: Policy Is Tentative Until Guidance Is Finalized By Regulatory Agencies Available Via Download From www.mybankersbank.com CORRESPONDENT BANK CONCENTRATION Management intends to formulate strategic plans and internal risk limits to measure, monitor and control correspondent bank credit quality and risk concentrations. Management believes controlling correspondent concentration risk is a sound tenant of banking. Regulation F Compliance Regulation F (12 CFR 206) requires a bank to limit its overnight credit exposure to any correspondent bank to no more than 25% of the exposed bank's total capital unless the correspondent bank can demonstrate it is at least "Adequately Capitalized" as defined by Prompt Corrective Action (PCA) under 12 CFR 6. Under Regulation F, there are no limitations to any correspondent bank that is either "Well or Adequately Capitalized". Responsibilities Management is responsible for ensuring the high quality of correspondent banks, measuring and monitoring of concentration risk, and implementing proper internal controls and reporting. Foremost, management shall maintain compliance with Regulation F. Management shall also fulfill its responsibilities by addressing the following items: Management shall implement procedures for identifying the totality of the banks aggregate credit exposures to correspondent banks and affiliates; Management shall establish prudent correspondent bank credit exposure risk policies, tolerances and procedures; Management shall specify credit assessment ratios to be reviewed on the correspondent bank; Management shall establish ranges or tolerances for each factor being monitored on the correspondent bank; Management shall develop plans for managing risks when limits, ranges or tolerances are exceeded; Management shall report correspondent credit exposure information and ratios to the board of directors or its delegated committee on at least a quarterly basis, and more frequently if the correspondent bank is in a distressed condition; Management shall conduct a credit analysis of any correspondent bank before entering into any credit or funding transactions with any correspondent bank; and Management shall perform its own due diligence when buying loan participations or syndications and will not rely on the lead bank credit analysis. Management shall cease buying loan participations or syndications with a correspondent bank that falls below well capitalized guidelines or correspondent banks that enters into a public enforcement action with serious safety and soundness issues. 1 CORRESPONDENT BANK EXPOSURE LIMITS Correspondent Bank Exposure Limits Management acknowledges its risk concentration limits need to more restrictive than Regulation F in the current banking and economic climate. Therefore, management will establish prudent credit exposure limitations for all possible correspondent bank capital classifications under Prompt Corrective Action (PCA). The limitations are noted as follows and further illustrated within this policy under Schedule of Permitted Exposure Limitations: "Well Capitalized" Correspondent Bank – Maximum of 25% of Tier 1 Capital. "Adequately Capitalized" Correspondent Bank – Maximum of 25% of Tier 1 Capital. Compliance with Correspondent Bank Exposure Limits Management acknowledges that with the volume and types of services provided by its correspondent banks, the prescribed exposure threshold may be slightly exceeded on a daily basis and in the normal course of business. Normal business flow, heavy customer activity and extraneous items may result in volume and activity variances which may be expected or unexpected but unavoidable. These types of volume and activity variances are permitted by policy; however, management shall return to compliance within a reasonable period of time. Any exposures exceeding the prescribe limits for five (5) or more consecutive days shall be approved by the board of directors or a delegated committee. 2 CREDIT EXPOSURE DEFINITION Credit exposure to a correspondent bank includes all banking transactions with the correspondent bank, equity investments in the correspondent bank and debt instruments issued by the correspondent bank that creates a risk for non-payment or default. Credit exposure also applies to any affiliates of the correspondent bank, including the correspondent bank's bank holding company. Credit exposure risks to a correspondent bank includes the following transactional accounts: Demand Deposit Accounts Interest-Bearing Deposit Accounts Fed Funds Sold as Principal Over Collateralized Portion of Repurchase Agreements Under Collateralized Portion of Reverse Repurchase Agreements Credit exposure risks to a correspondent bank or bank holding company affiliate includes the following equity and debt issuances: BHC or Correspondent Bank Common Stock BHC or Correspondent Bank Preferred Stock BHC or Correspondent Bank Trusted Preferred Securities BHC or Correspondent Bank Subordinated Debt BHC or Correspondent Bank Debt Note: All trust preferred securities issued by Independent Bankers Financial Corporation, Irving, Texas (TIB parent bank holding company) are securitized in two ALSECO branded pools and not individually issued to any respondent bank. The parent company has no outstanding preferred stock or subordinated debt issued to respondent banks. Credit exposure risks to a correspondent bank does not include the following: FRB Excess Balance Account – Credit exposure is to the Federal Reserve Bank. Securities Unrealized Gains – Amounts are immaterial. Safekeeping Custody – Safekeeping is conducted in a fiduciary capacity. The proceeds of checks and other cash items not yet available for withdrawal. Loans to third parties purchased from the correspondent with recourse. Loans or obligations of third parties backed by stand-by letters of credit issued by the correspondent. Amounts guaranteed under FDIC insurance. Note: DDA accounts at TIB through June 30, 2010, are temporarily guaranteed under the Temporary Asset Guarantee (TAG) program of the TLGP. The FDIC guarantee is unlimited on DDA through the period noted. 3 CREDIT ASSESSMENT RATIOS The financial condition of correspondent banks shall be assessed using prudent and industry standard assessment ratios. The Primary Assessment ratios are used to assess overall safety and soundness. These ratios serve as long-term indicators of the correspondent bank's viability and sustainability. The Secondary monitoring ratios are used to assess other general banking ratios and are secondary concerns. These ratios serve as indicators of short-term problems that can be corrected in the normal course of business if proper attention is applied by the correspondent bank management. Primary assessment ratios and targets Tier 1 Leverage Ratio must equal or exceed 5%. A regulatory measurement of capital that assesses the correspondent bank's ability to weather economic downturns, absorb any potential or unexpected losses and access liquidity. Tier 1 Risk-Based Capital Ratio must equal or exceed 6%. A regulatory measurement of capital adequacy used to measure the correspondent bank's volume of risk-weighted assets on capital. Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio must equal or exceed 10%. A regulatory measurement of adequacy based on the correspondent bank's risk-weighted assets to capital. The Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio compresses as credit risk becomes more prominent in the correspondent bank. For example, two banks of equal asset size, but one has a concentration of loans and the other credit-free securities. The correspondent bank with a concentration of credit loans will have a lower Total Risk-Based Capital Ratio, because it has a higher denominator or higher risk-weighted assets. Secondary assessment ratios and targets Texas Ratio not to exceed 90%. The Texas Ratio is an asset quality adequacy measurement which measures the amount of problem assets as a percentage of capital. The ratio is used widely by bank analysts and banking companies. The Texas Ratio is calculated by taking loans 90 day past due and still accruing, nonaccrual loans, restructured loans and other real estate owned divided by tier 1 capital plus ALLL reserves. This ratio serves to measure and monitor problem assets within one ratio making it a valid indicator of asset quality. ALLL / Total Loans Ratio of at least 1%. The ALLL to total loans ratio is an asset quality measurement which shows the correspondent bank's ability to cover loan losses with allocated reserves. A low ratio indicates possible provisions need to be made which will hamper earnings. A high ratio shows good coverage and stabilization of provision expense in the future. Return on Average Assets Ratio of Break-Even or better. The return on average assets ratio is an earnings adequacy measurement which shows the correspondent bank's ability to be profitable. A low or negative return on assets is a short-term problem that can be corrected in the normal course of business. 4 STATUS INDICATORS AND ACTION PLANS Definition of Correspondent Bank Status: Pass – Indicates the correspondent bank is operating within all guidelines established by the board of directors in this policy and is in compliance with applicable rules such as Regulation F and Correspondent Concentration Risk. Watch – Indicates the correspondent bank is not in compliance with all credit assessment ratios and/or has a public enforcement action. The correspondent bank shall be required to provide corrective action plans to be achieved in a reasonable time. Failure of the correspondent bank to initiate timely correction action will result in a down-graded status. Critical – Indicates the correspondent bank is operating with ratios of less than "well capitalized; " has operated with non-compliant ratios for an extended period of time without corrective action; or has not provided a satisfactory corrective action plan with 90 days of quarter end. Removal – Indicates the correspondent bank will be removed as a correspondent within 90 days of the determination. Correspondent Bank falls below Primary Assessment Ratios: Per Regulation F, when a correspondent bank is no longer able to demonstrate it is at least adequately capitalized, the bank shall reduce its credit exposure to 25% of tier 1 capital. The reduction in credit exposure must occur within 120 days after the date when the current Report of Condition and Income or other relevant report normally would be available per Regulation F. The correspondent bank shall be put on "Critical" status until such time the ratios are corrected. The correspondent bank, within 90 days of quarter end, shall be required to submit an action plan showing steps being taken to restore primary assessment ratios, including timeframes. The correspondent bank shall be considered for "Removal" status by the board of directors or its delegated committee if the correspondent does not demonstrate satisfactory progress toward restoring primary ratios to acceptable levels. Correspondent Bank falls below Secondary Assessment Ratios: When the correspondent bank falls below one of the secondary assessment ratios, management shall contact the correspondent bank to provide a corrective action plan to be achieved in a reasonable amount of time. The plan shall be provided within 90 days after the quarter end or the correspondent bank will be moved to "Critical" status. When the correspondent bank is below one of the secondary assessment ratios it shall be deemed "Watch" status. When the correspondent bank is below one of the secondary assessment ratios for more than four quarters it shall be deemed "Critical" status. When the correspondent bank fails to provide corrective action after six quarters it shall be considered for "Removal" status, if the correspondent does not demonstrate satisfactory progress toward restoring secondary ratios to acceptable levels. 5 CREDIT ASSESSMENT MONITORING Frequency The financial condition of correspondent banks shall be monitored quarterly consistent with regulatory guidance on Correspondent Concentration Risk and Regulation F requirements. Source The financial assessment ratios used for monitoring upstream correspondent banks shall be those published in the Consolidated Reports of Condition and Income (Call Report) and reported in the Uniform Bank Performance Report (UBPR). Management may also rely on information reported from the correspondent bank as they are federal and state regulated institutions and their information is deemed reliable. Timing The Call Report is due 30 days after a quarter end, and generally available to the public 10 – 15 days after the submission deadline. Within a reasonable time, but no later than 90 days after a quarter-end, management shall provide financial condition ratios to the board of directors or a delegated committee for review and approval. Exempted Institutions Financial assessment ratios shall be provided on all correspondent banks unless otherwise an exempted institution. The Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank system are considered exempt because of their U.S. Government or U.S. Government Sponsored status. Any other U.S. Governmental organization or U.S. Governmental guarantee program account shall also be considered exempted for purposes of this policy. Agency Fed Funds Programs When the bank uses a correspondent bank agency fed funds program, the correspondent bank shall provide the bank with adequate monitoring and reporting to comply with the Correspondent Concentration Guidance and Regulation F. Early Warning Indicators Low or declining capital ratios caused by risky asset growth. Low or declining liquidity balances could signal liquidity concerns.

Not All Evolution Is Good
A big part of this site is the sharing of process by one money manger, me. I write about how I do my job, what I get correct, incorrect and the way I go about learning new things. There are other blogs that are similar to this one that add value.
There are some excellent blogs that focus on short-term trading, currency, options, economics and other areas of the capital markets.
The spectrum of bloggers ranges from real industry heavyweights to highschool age kids. Neither age nor experience has to be a barrier to providing good content. I am convinced that blogs will continue to add utility to what, as a function of numbers, has to be a an explosion in the number of do-it yourself investors.
That being said the reader needs to beware. Not all blogs are worthwhile. Let me be clear that I am not going to name names and I will delete any comment that takes a shot at any other blog. The point here is not to pick on anyone but to create some awareness that there are a few blogs where the input given just isn't very good.
One blog in particular is written in an authoritative tone, implying some experience, but the thought process shared and conclusions drawn are so off base that I think I question the bloggers knowledge and experience relative to how it is portrayed. Because of its authoritative tone people could take action based on input from this seemingly poor source. I differentiate this from any blog written by a self-proclaimed neophyte trying to learn about the markets and blogging his experience.
As you find new blogs I would advise going through the archives to try to really size up the content and to figure out whether that blogger adds value to what you are trying to do with your portfolio and what you are trying to learn.

roger, i can't see the harm done in letting us know the addresses of blogs whose advice you consider questionable. perhaps the most valuable aspect of blogging is that it enables opposing voices to be heard, and also to interact. often, through the debates and conversation, (notwithstanding flamewars, vitriolic trolls, and other champions of stupidity), a deeper understanding is arrived at for all.

I can't say your thought is wrong but it is not right for me. Hopefully people that read blogs will start to think about some of what i have said here. - 4:24 PM

Very well said.
There may be value in blogs but there is always the potential for abuse. I find it challenging to write about stocks as an amateur analyst as well as an investor. I try hard to share with readers all of my own transactions but I do not want to be "pumping up" those stocks either.
It is a difficult line to walk.

** Parental Warning—if you are trying to get your child to cut back on the sweets, then tear this page out of the issue before you leave it to decoratively accent your coffee table. What I am about to share will seriously throw off the parent-child continuum, ruining any adult credibility for many generations to come… .
Sugar does not make children hyper.
As a matter of fact, dozens of studies have disproved this parental posture including a 1995 finding published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
I know! I fell for it, too! So what gives? How could something so annoyingly obvious to millions of parents be so, well, wrong!? The Cornel Center for Materials Research offers two suggestions. To begin with, many of the circumstances in which we allow children to have sweets — like parties — are environments already charged with high energy. Second, as parents, we often perceive our children as being hyperactive following sweets because that's what we've been conditioned to think. This theory was further supported in a study published in a 1994 issue of Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology. The study indicated that "parents who believe a child's behavior is affected by sugar are more likely to perceive their children as hyperactive."
However, before we toss our entire adult belief system out the window and throw chocolate to the wind, let's not forget the countless studies and health organizations which remind us that sugar does play a proven role in health problems such as poor dental health, juvenile diabetes and obesity, to name a few.
So take a good look at the overall health benefits of a high-sugar diet (even if it is only holiday-temporary). On the flip side, I've seen a few adults who could use some advice on food intake and hyperactivity; maybe the fine folks at Cornell need to take a look at coffee before bed.

Everyone is a noob at first. If you hook up with a instance group outside of your guild, and they are being "dickish" about your inexperience, then screw'em. Drop out and get into an new group.
Remind them that EVERYONE did a first run. People seem to forget that others may not always know what they know, or have similar experiences.
I never discount inexperience...I prefer to help and give pointers when asked or needed.

The 2010 Tablas Creek Vineyard Vin de Paille Sacrérouge is Tablas Creek's fifth bottling of this non-traditional application (to red grapes) of an ancient Mediterranean technique for producing dessert wines. Ripe grape bunches are carefully laid down on straw-covered benches in our greenhouses, and allowed to dehydrate in the sun. When the grapes reach the desired concentration (usually in about 3 weeks) they are crushed by foot and fermented in small open-top fermenters using only native yeasts. When they reach their desired level of extraction, we press them and move the juice to oak barrels to continue fermenting until it reaches an alcohol level where the sweetness of the wine is in balance with its acids, tannins, and mineral characteristics. The Vin de Paille Sacrérouge is made from 100% Mourvèdre grapes.
The grapes for our Vin de Paille Sacrérouge were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2010 vintage saw healthy rainfall after three years of drought. The ample early-season groundwater and a lack of spring frosts produced a good fruit set. A very cool summer delayed ripening by roughly three weeks, with harvest not beginning until mid-September and still less than half complete in mid-October. Warm, sunny weather between mid-October and mid-November allowed the later-ripening varieties to reach full maturity. The long hangtime and cool temperatures combined to produce fruit with intense flavors and dark color at low alcohol levels. Mourvèdre was harvested between October 4th and November 18th.
The wine, after pressing, was aged in three new French oak barrels for 15 months before being bottled in January of 2012.
The 2010 Vin de Paille Sacrérouge has a sweet nose of dates, plums, and figs, with dark cherries, black plum, cassis and chocolate in the mouth. The finish is sweet and long with lingering fig, chocolate, and mineral notes.
[...more recent Tablas Creek press]
The Tablas Creek tasting room will be open exclusively for our VINsider Club Members to celebrate our Spring VINsider Wine Club shipment Sunday, April 13th. VINsiders are invited to come to one of four sessions (10:30am, noon, 1:30pm or 3:00pm) at which we'll taste the wines in the recent shipment paired with small bites prepared by Chef Jeff Scott.

Villemond's Run Ends in Consolation Quarterfinals
ATLANTA, Ga. – Priscillia Villemond, the lone remaining Eagle at the 2009 Wilson/ITA Southeast Regional Championships, was knocked out of the consolation draw on Sunday, falling in the quarterfinals.
Villemond (Les Bordes, France), who won a pair of matches on Saturday to advance to the quarterfinal round of the consolation draw, was defeated on Sunday by South Florida's Ecaterina Vasinena, 6-1, 6-2. Farah Leclercq, FGCU's other representative at the tournament, was knocked out in the first round of the consolation draw on Saturday.
With Villemond eliminated, no Eagles remain in either the men's or the women's ITA regional tournaments. This marks the conclusion of the 2009 fall season for both Eagle tennis teams. The women will begin play in the 2010 spring season hosting the Eagle Invitational, scheduled to begin on January 16th. The men are also scheduled to open the spring season on January 16th, hosting Florida A&M at 11 a.m.

Several polls have shown recently that even the most popular radio talk-show hosts who trade in politics on their shows would never get elected to public office. Take it from Dave Ross.
The four Seattle-cops were armed, and it didn't stop them from being shot. The "if-only everyone-were-armed" argument was crazy and reckless before this. Now it's been proven beyond a doubt to be ridiculous.

OMG.. These are like heaven in your mouth! Talk about great taste sensations... I made these for one of my cooking and recipe events that I hold monthly, and these were a HUGE hit... A must try for sure! You can use low fat cream cheese to make these lighter if you like. You can also dip the ends with any kind of finely chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, sprinkles, or dip the ends in chocolate or drizzle with chocolate. You might even try adding some cocoa powder to the cream cheese and make it a chocolate filling. The sky is the limit here, just use your imagination!

As cancer research and development grows, the research and development task to finding cancer of the unknown primary are growing. I have written about Rosetta Genomics with lung cancer and their tests and now we have additional information potentially available from a lab in my back yard. Thousands of people with cancer never know where their cancer originates, breast, liver, etc. and the reason this is so important lies in the treatment plans which are specific to work and basically re-train the protein or gene to react and function differently, in other words the targeted gene. If cancer of the unknown primary is found, then perhaps better specific drugs are given that would target that type of cancer, in other words someone with breast cancer would not be given a drug that is better targeted for liver cancer as a simple example. The one genetic test provided will help determine the possibility of recurrences with breast cancer and we all know the story on that one how it does seem to come back with many. BD

By Chris Turek, Director of Online and Educational Services
Many professions require periodic continuing education and training to stay certified or licensed. Solar Energy International's Continuing Education Series of courses serve solar and renewable energy professionals, electricians, roofers, inspectors, plumbers, architects, K-12 educators and more. Many of these courses are qualified for Continuing Education credits from NABCEP and other professional certification and state licensing authorities. These short duration courses are available for you to enroll in a course and start right away.
New CE course just announced!
CE506: Code-compliant Conductor Sizing for Grid-direct PV Systems
Nov. 16, 2011, 12-3 p.m. Pacific Standard Time (PST)
Professionals from many different industries need further training and continuing education (CE) to maintain their certifications and stay up-to-date with the most current technologies in solar and renewable energy topics. More and more, industries are allowing for training in renewable energy topic areas to satisfy CE requirements. From solar and renewable energy professionals to electricians to roofers and architects, the Solar Energy International On-Demand Continuing Education Series offers a relevant, cost effective, and flexible means to get this needed training.
The newest addition to this series is CE506: Code-compliant Conductor Sizing for Grid-direct PV Systems, a three-hour live webinar Nov. 16, 2011, at 12 p.m. This session qualifies for three hours toward North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) re-certification in the Code category. If you can't make the live session the recording will be available through the SEI Online Campus. In either live or recorded format, you will have 30 day access to the session to view the presentation and be able to print out an SEI Record of Completion for proof of training.
CE506: Code-compliant Conductor Sizing for Grid-direct PV Systems
Nov. 16, 2011, 12-3 p.m. PST
PV system conductors operate in extreme environments - fortunately the 2011 NEC brought much needed clarity to wire sizing for PV systems. This course is an in-depth look at the step-by-step process to meet ampacity and voltage drop requirements for all circuits in grid-direct PV systems. The step-by-step process walks through all the requirements to design 2011 NEC compliant systems. This process applies to all circuits in grid-direct PV systems, regardless of size. Developed in conjunction with industry experts and extensively peer reviewed, SEI's wire sizing methodology takes the mystery out! Full coverage of all NEC Article 310 and 690 conductor and overcurrent device sizing.
Register today for this session >>
View full SEI On-Demand CE Series >>
If you are interested in using this training for other types of re-certifications or continuing education, please check with your certifying authority to see how they view NEC 2011 training as it pertains to your area of emphasis. We hope to see you in the Nov. 16 session or in any of our other sessions.

I am also really interested in this - I am about to start a few blueryder plants in a fox farm soil, but I was planning on using the botanicare nutes in the soil, as well as with my hydro grow
Hey all, I have been using FF complete line of nutes. They work well. But, I hear good things about Botanicare. Which are better?
Whats Fair is Fair, thats Fair and Square
I am also really interested in this - I am about to start a few blueryder plants in a fox farm soil, but I was planning on using the botanicare nutes in the soil, as well as with my hydro grow
Praise God, Love People, Do Right and Take It Easy
Can anyone who has used both give me their oppinion???
Whats Fair is Fair, thats Fair and Square
i havent used botainicare but i have used fox farm grow big and big bloom on my outdoor grow and had very good succes, the grow big get your plants big fast and the big bloom increases the thc on the plant. if you use the tiger bloom and beasie blooms and the other two powders you will have killer results
some of the best growers on RIU just absolutly swear by botanicare's line, im a FF guy myself and i loved the results, if you go FF get grow big, tiger and big blooms, big bloom only has P and K in it and needs to be used with either grow big or should be with tiger bloom for the micro nutes, since going aero i still use cha ching for late flowering...thier additives are phenomenal
SOL: It's the Russian. AVI:A Russian? SOL:To be technical hes Uzbekistanian?AVI:I been dealing with those Russian dogs. AVI:give me a name.SOL:Urinov,Boris TONY:BORIS the BLADE? as in BORIS THE BULLET DODGER?AVI:why do they call him the bullet dodger?TONY: bcus he dodges Bullets Avi
Thanks. I currently use the complete FF line and have very nice results. However, I keep hearing great things about Botanicare. I already use Liquid Karma with the Fox Farm Line.... but, am wondering if I should only use Botanicare? hmmmm...... well, thanks for the response guys
Whats Fair is Fair, thats Fair and Square
I am using the whole Botanicare Pro series line (not the triflex, or power series) and dosing with all the optional supplements, including silica blast. I am a few weeks into veg'ing and seeing good results. Its mostly organic (95%) and its really difficult to burn the plants. I am watering every two or three days.
I will tell you how I do in like 80 or so days.
Ive used botanicare pro series with the grow,karma,cal-mag,sweet,and now the bloom as well. I have it going with G13's power skunk(attitude freebies). Growing with DWC. My plants are all around 7' tall. I havent had great result with flowering though but from what I hear its the genetics of the plants. Im not getting BIG buds just a whole bunch of small to medium. But anyways I cant compare with FF though. Ive only used Botanicare and the Earthjuice line. I would take the botanicare over the EJ though.
I use Cal-Mag religiously and nute with Grow Big and Tiger Bloom. My soil is FFOF. I'm getting the best results ever with this combo, though I've never tried Botanicare's nutrients.
Perhaps you can help me with a prob I have been having. I am a newb, (3 nice harvests under belt) and every single time during weeks 5 and 6 of flowering I see what I believe is a cal/mag deficiency. Rusty looking leaves. Thru my research I have decided that is what it is. Anyway, I have been putting in a teaspoon of epsom salt and just ordered Botanicare Cal/mag plus. How should I use the cal/mag plus? In conjunction with regular nute applications? Can it be used before the problem to prevent it? Or then will it like o.d. on cal/mag? Please help, thanks.

For a while now, I've been observing a strange phenomenon here at the j-school: Some of our computers respond extremely slowly to our own web site. Take two machines sitting side by side on the exact same 100 megabit network. Both machines are configured identically in terms of subnet, gateway, and DNS addresses. Both have static IPs. Now I try to access the jschool homepage. One browser will have the homepage loaded faster than you can blink. But on the machine next to it, the browser's status bar will say "Sending request…" for 4-5 seconds, then the page will come in all of a sudden. No other web sites are affected - only our own site, our intranet, and our development server. The affected machines can access external web sites lickety split, but they bog down completely when accessing sites on our own subnet.
The problem affects about half of our Macs, but does not affect any of our Windows machines. It does not seem to matter whether the Macs are running OS 9 or OS X. The problem is not CPU/memory related - we're talking G4s with 512MBs. Up until a few days ago, my Mac was fortunately unaffected by the problem. But after loading Jaguar onto it (I have a legit copy), my PowerMac, which is my main work machine, is now affected by the problem as well. As webmaster, I reload pages constantly - you can imagine how aggravating this is.
At first I suspected this was a DNS issue, and tried using a variety of alternate DNS servers the university makes available. No difference. Next I decided to bypass DNS by loading the NetInfo database with custom host data. No difference - the problem persists. In fact, the problem persists even when accessing the site by its IP address. Ping times and FTP responses are very fast - it's just HTTP request times that lag inexplicably. Browser used is irrelevant - I get the same molasses-like behavior with IE, Mozilla, and OmniWeb on this machine.
I'm baffled and frustrated and running out of time to spend on this problem. Is there anything in our Apache configuration that could cause behavior like this? Other theories?
Update: As an experiment, I tried shutting down Apache and starting up OmniHTTPD in it's place for a few minutes. The problem seemed to vanish! This indicates an Apache configuration problem. All optimizations in httpd.conf are at their default values. But what kinds of optimizations could affect Macs but not PCs, and only some Macs at that?
Clues appreciated!

TGIF everyone!
Unfortunately for me, it looks like I will be stuck studying all weekend. But I don't mind, as long as I am equipped with a Pumpkin Latte and highlighters in about 6 different colors I feel like nothing can stop me :). Also, have some pretty nails to look at helps too. I decided I needed to perk up my stash with more glitter polishes and I swooned when I finally found the Revlon display with Facets of Fuchsia. As you may know, this is pretty much a drugstore dupe of Deborah Lippmann's Bad Romance. I only have two Lippmann polishes (Waking Up in Vegas & Glitter in the Air) and, although they both exceeded my expectations, I wasn't quite ready to commit to a dark glittery polish just yet. Enter Facets of Fuchsia; a pretty black jelly with purple hex & glitter at a drugstore price.
Application isn't the easiest with this polish. The glitter is suspended in a jelly base and you need to wait in between coats to make sure not to move the glitter around too much. You may also have to push back the large glitter chunks onto your nail if they hang on the sides. But overall, I think this is a must is you spot this polish! What I really like about Facets of Fuchsia is that it convinced me that I LOVE glitters and that I may have to splurge on Lippmann's accross the Universe soon. Let me know what some of your favorite glitter polishes are :)
I used Mavala Protective base coat & Seche Vite top coat.

"We saw days with as many as 24 births in 24 hours," said April Crouch, RN, Clinical Manager of Perinatal Services. "Regardless of whether we deliver one or 24 babies in a day, we focus on providing a unique birthing experience for each family."
Because of its growing number of births each year, SMMC is making plans for a $42.5 million expansion of its birth center, which will begin later this year. The expansion will allow staff to continue delivering babies safely and comfortably, and will have the capacity to deliver 5,000 babies each year.
"Our number of births has continued to grow every year and reinforces the need for our maternity expansion," said Crouch.
In addition to delivering the most babies in the area, SMMC also provides several unique program features to ensure the safest and most enjoyable birth experience possible.
- OB Hospitalists are on staff to increase patient safety.
- A Perinatologist is available to assist in managing more complicated pregnancy cases.
- A Level III Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) provides specialized care for sick or premature newborns.
- A NICU nurse attends every delivery for an additional layer of protection.
- One nurse cares for mom and baby in the same room.

Once you finish watching the movie, you can dive into the extras. Both commentaries are worth a listen. I highly recommend the Behind the Scenes footage of Tom Savini and his army of Special Make-up Effects Artists. Having never been a fan of digital special effects, it's good to learn how they did it in the good ole days.
P.S. I do not recommend the eating of naturally-cased frankfurters while watching this film.
There is just one Special Feature on this film and it is the director's commentary. At times, Hughes delivers some interesting history behind his directorial decisions, but at other times he merely narrates the plot. Too bad the folks at Paramount didn't add a cast member to the commentary. Even without the cast member, fans of Ferris will still enjoy the story behind Cameron's fake voice.
