Prior to joining MedStar Physician Partners, Dr. Geloo was on the staff of MedStar Washington Hospital Center. She is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and has been Clinical Director of the Institute for Advanced Studies in Aging and Geriatric Medicine since 2005.
Dr. Geloo was great! She listened to my needs, was thorough with her check-up and gave me great advice. The only negative was how long it took to check out of the office -- the computer froze, so there was a long line of people that needed to check out and get blood work done.
Dr Geloo was professional and friendly. She was running a bit late but apologized, and I felt I hardly waited at all, really, between when the nurse took my vitals and Dr Geloo entered the room. She was thorough and listened well.
Dr. Geloo was so thorough. She spent 30 minutes with me to gather as much information as possible. Her support staff were equally as professional.
Dr. Geloo is awesome! I have been looking for a smart, caring doctor in DC for over 10 years and finally found one in Dr. Geloo. She is understanding, asks the right questions, listens and is up on medical research, which enables her to make recommendations and answer questions. She is personable, and I immediately connected with her. I highly recommend her!!
Nice, professional, impersonal. She got right down to business and I didn't feel any fear of judgement because she kept it impersonal and professional
I love my visit with Dr. Geloo. I finally found a doctor thanks to ZocDoc.
Dr. Geloo was great - asked a lot of questions and follow-up questions, trusted that I knew what was going on with my body, and offered suggestions when I didn't know what was going on. I will continue to see her and definitely recommend her to others!
Very good doctor. Remembers details very well.
Great first visit!
She was extremely professional and friendly.
Dr. Geloo was thorough, professional and everything I expected from a good doctor. I would certainly offer her my recommendation.
Everything went well.
Dr. Geloo was a good doctor and I will probably see her again the next time I need to see a physician. However, don't bother making an appointment with her through ZocDoc. Both times I tried making an appointment with her using ZocDoc, I have received a call the next day saying the doctor wasn't available at that time and I would need to reschedule.
Dr Geloo is one of the best Physician i have went to, my visit was very good, I did not have to wait long ( 10 minutes) and she is always polite and professional
I visited more with Dr. Geloo's internist, who had the best bedside manner of any doctor I've seen in years. The internist asked questions, listened to my responses, offered opinions and recommendations, and genuinely wanted to help. I will go back to the office, most definitely. Very clean office, attentive staff who are happy to help, even on the busiest day of their week, Friday.
Dr. Geloo was excellent. Will definitely be coming back and recommending her to others.
She was professional but I didn't feel that she had as much knowledge as I would have liked about one of my concerns. In addition, she appeared somewhat judgmental about my lifestyle choice. This may have been a miscommunication so I'm willing to attempt another interaction as all of the requests I made were granted.
From start to finish, this was the best medical appointment I have ever been to. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable, I basically walked right back to the exam room and had bloodwork done onsite immediately following my consultation. All in all, it could not have been any better.
She is awesome
Excellent visit! Dr. Geloo was very informative and professional.
She is excellent--great at talking to patients and super knowledgeable about all different topics.
The office staff was efficient and friendly. I was in my patient room and being seen before I even finished my paperwork. Dr. Geloo addressed all my needs and kept a thorough record of our discussion and next steps in a computer note-taking system. In addition, I left with a copy of these notes. I was in and out of the office within an hour.
Good. Dr. Geloo comes across as very knowledgeable and also engaged, but not particularly warm. If you want a warm & fuzzy doctor, that's just not Dr. Geloo's style (with me), but her obvious intelligence inspires confidence. Also, she has always made time for all of my questions and answered them carefully and with compassion. I trust her and like her.
Dr Geloo has a wonderful bedside manner. She is warm and never makes me feel as if she is rushed to see other patients. (And she always has stellar shoes)
I had to tell her how to do her job! If I'm complaining of a symptom, throughly check it. When I ask you to check it again, do look frustrated, just do your job. It's not about going to the "next patient", but providing quality patient care. And I feel shortchanged.
The office staff was not friendly and claimed ot have no record of my appointment.
Helpful, efficient, congenial. Pleasant office though "check out" area is a little confusing.
I found Dr. Geloo professional, respectful and approachable. She is a good listener and takes what I say into consideration. The doctor takes her own medical histories, rather than using a paper and pen form. I thought this a very positive experience. I am busy telling my friends about my experience.
Very professional
I have always been consistent with my medical care, and therefore in 46 years I have seen many doctors. Dr. Geloo is the most attentive and straightforward doctor I have ever seen.
I really liked Dr. Geloo. I have a lot of things going on medically right now and she was able to work with me to try to figure out a solution. The office staff is nice, a little brusque, and you definitely have to wait a little. But I was in and out of there in less than an hour, which I consider a good visit.
She is an excellent physician. Very thourough and attentive
Dr. Geloo was very friendly and very helpful. The support staff were also very polite. The appointment did not take long, and I felt that I had adequate time to ask questions etc. Very good.
Dr.Galoo was very thorough and she really cared about getting me to get my health back on track and make healthy choices.
It felt really brief, I didn't get much time with her. Great if you need a prescription but not an in-depth appointment.
Everything went as expected. Very professional.
Was very sweet but also too checklist professional for a doctors visit and first time patient
The doctor and her office staff were very helpful to this out-of-town visitor to DC. Those who live in the area would be fortunate to have Dr. Geloo as a primary care physician!
I had heard some negative reviews about this place so I was hesitant to book here. However, given its convenient and I really needed to see a doctor I made an appointment. I honestly wish I had ignored the negative feedback and gone here sooner. (I think it's true that people are 7x more likely to leave negative feedback than positive feedback... well I am hopefully making up for some of that!). Dr. Galoo is adorable. She was very personable, warm, and I felt she spent enough time talking with me despite the fact that there was a waiting room of people. And even though the waiting room was full I was seen nearly right away. All of the staff is so incredibly helpful and friendly - from the front desk, to the nurse practitioner, to the person who drew my blood (which I hate having done but she was really good). I'm sure we all have off days, but I think even on an off day this place has to be significantly better than other places I have been in DC.
The Dr. was very nice, but some of the receptionists were a bit rude and the wait time was very long.

How To Hold A Roller Hockey Stick
In order to reach your full potential in hockey, you have to be able to hold a roller hockey stick correctly. If you aren't that into the sport, learning this is not really a big deal. However, if you hope to be in the NHL someday you should start by learning how to hold a roller hockey stick. Here are a few steps that will help get you a step closer to the pros.
- Hockey gloves
- Hockey stick
- Wear your gloves. Even though it might help, you do not have to be fully dressed in skates and pads to learn how to hold a roller hockey stick. On the other hand, you should wear your gloves to do this right.
- Use both hands. You may notice on TV that professional hockey players use one hand to hold a hockey tick. They can do this because they are professionals, but you are just starting out. It is best if you start out by using both hands. With practice you will get better.
- Hand position. One of your hands should be placed at the top of the stick with your thumb facing down. Your other hand should be about a foot down the shaft. Your thumb on this hand should also be faced down.
- Take a few swings. Test out how the grip feels by taking a few swings. Reverse hand positions. This will allow you to evaluate which hand feels more comfortable and where.

Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
I realize most, if not all, Houston Texans fans soured on Jacoby Jones, especially after he muffed the punt in the AFC Divisional Playoff game in Baltimore last year. Although he showed signs of greatness, he seemed to have trouble with drops while playing for the Texans.
So he was released, the Ravens signed him, and he went on to the Pro Bowl, caught a huge pass to tie the game against the Broncos in the AFC Divisional Playoff game, and made a comeback 56 yard catch for a TD and returned a second half-opening kickoff for a record 109 yards in the Super Bowl.
So, do you think he simply had "issues" while playing for the Texans, or was he simply not coached properly? It seems awfully odd that a player would have such a dramatic fall and rise so quickly in the span of one season. Had he remained a Texan, do you think he would have accomplished what he did this year, or would he have been a bust?
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Wrong forum
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
I think it is a mix of things. He wasn't used properly, as evidenced by his lack of use in kickoffs. The coaches always maintained that his skill set was best used in punt returns but not in kickoffs.
His skills set was also a bad mix with his QB. With Flacco he is able to outrun a defense, but Schaub has never been able to rocket a deep ball to him like Flacco.
He also had a lot of maturity issues here in Houston. I think Baltimore is benefiting some from Kubiak's mentoring of Jacoby. But, once he muffed that punt in Baltimore his time in Houston was done.
I wish him nothing but the best and think he should have been the SB MVP.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
I don't think it is the wrong forum. JJ was drafted by the Texans, so I am wondering if you believe he didn't pan out in Houston moreso due to his own failures, or was the blame more on Kubiak and the ST coach?
I have heard that Kubiak was hard on Jones, but I do not know that for a fact. It just seems surprising that a player who is released goes on to such a dramatic turn-around in one season.
Do you wish he would have remained a Texan?
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Wrong forum²
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
No, I do not think we should've kept him. The dude was very immature when we drafted him. Kubiak and Co got him right, but was the king of bumble. We all know how much Kubiak dislikes drops and fumbles. It was time for him to go. Plus, he would've never been right in the head again due to the fans verbal assault. Dude had to quit Twitter. lol
He's got the smallest hands I've ever seen as a WR, so he will drop a lot of balls.
Wrong forum because he's no longer a Texan
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
not just the football related issues but...
falling asleep drunk at a red light
missing a team plane.
Dude was a knucklehead here.
Getting cut was probably the wake up call he needed to start taking football seriously.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Jacoby & Holliday are proof, Texans coaching staff headed by Kubiak are uptight & don't connect with a certain type of player (character) who are typical NFL playmakers, from a positional viewpoint historically its always been Texan returners. Which has been coached since Texan inception by Joe Marciano. It should be a no brainer to fire him, but I have this feeling that would be using him as a scapegoat, that the problem is deeper than that. From a draft viewpoint I was in favor of both, talent & playmaker was self evident, at least Rick Smith recognized it & drafted them to help the Texan coaches. How long will HE continue to put up with his own people misuse, & discard talented players who do fit needs for excellent value :hankpalm:
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Happy for the guy, because people need change. He needed to find "greener pastures", if you will.
I don't know if he's doing THIS in Houston. Elsewhere (especially after getting RELEASED), he needed to show folks he wasn't done or he would be done. NFL does indeed stand for "Not For Long", and if he were to have the same issues he did in Houston, he'd be cut again; possibly out of the NFL altogether.
He's a new player, basically. No more acting a damn fool until it's time to act a damn fool. Jacoby Jones did something great, and him leaving Houston, TX was the best possible thing for him as a player, and maybe even as a man; made him a little more mature.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
As for why he didnt stick here .... you need look no further than the boneheaded decision he made in the divisional round against your Ravens.
His lack of development as a reciever here was more due to the fact that he just didnt grasp the complexities of the offense. He was asked to do more than he was capable of ... In Baltimore his job is to run past the coverage and try to catch the ball , he's not expected to run sophisticated routes , that and a big armed QB suited him to a tee.
Hope he doesnt fall asleep drunk in his car at an intersection again or have any other off the field mishaps ....
Im glad the change of scenery worked out for him .... and hope his next contract sucks up a whole lotta Baltimore's cap space. :corrosion:
Boom or bust.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
I'll keep it short and simple. I always have, and always will despise him. (wrong forum) ;)
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
We all pretty much were in agreement that he was done for in Houston after that colossal mistake.
Boom or Bust.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
My overriding theory is that this is NOT a good reflection upon Kubiak as a leader and mentor and coach of players. He gives a lot of loyalty to players, but very little real "accountability," and with the way this franchise randomly rewards failure for some players (Amobi Okoye, Travis Johnson, Matt Schaub, etc.) yet randomly cuts that same caliber of player (Jacoby Jones, Eric Winston, etc.) it probably isn't the best way to try and build up a locker room's belief in the team's direction.
This was not a fluke. Jacoby just happens to be a player who more than likely felt like his head coach was always waiting for him to screw up (Gary did this same damn thing to Trindon Holliday, btw). I mean, the head coach doesn't even watch game-deciding field goal attempts. Why? Because he doesn't think we're going to win and he doesn't want to face the disappointment of watching the kick go wide left or wide right. THAT, my friends, although some say it's not a big factor in Gary's skill/talent as a HC, it is a pretty accurate "marker" for me. He thinks the worst instead of the best.
For Gary, if the game came down to a game-deciding FG attempt....well, for Gary it means his guys just didn't execute on Sunday like they had all week in practice leading up to the game. He'll find ways to mentor and coach and build 'em up in the next week's practice.
Gary's system is very devoid of any real, tangible "game day" feeling to it. It's all automated. Do this, like we practiced, and it will work. We ran this a hundred times in practice, running our routes down to the very inch on the field where we were supposed to make the cut...so therefore they can't stop us when we're on our game on Sundays. We are good guys. Our fans love us. Our owner loves us. Our head coach is fanatical and cult-like in his defense of us if things go wrong. Our head coach will stand at a podium and say "It's on me, as a head coach, I have to get them in better position."
All these things lead to what I think is really a sham of a football program when it all gets boiled down to its base element. Boil the water and see what remains. What I see, as proven by Jacoby Jones in the post-season games versus Denver and in the Super Bowl versus 49ers, is that Gary Kubiak is not nearly the adaptive, creative guy some people think he is today.
Which means "What if the players, across the board, have caught onto this?" At some point this season, and I think it was after the two OT games we won, the locker room fell flat for Gary. It was almost like they were tired of winning. But hey, Gary will have them ready "next time." See a pattern?
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Duck Judas Jones!
My sincerest hope is that the next time the Carrion...excuse me Ravens play the Texans his former team mates light his 3itch ass up like a Christmas tree every time he FANTASIZES about TOUCHING the football! He can shove THIS :trophy: and the ring he sold his former team out for up his @$$ and SPIN on it at 3500 RPM. May MANY cracked ribs and concussions be in his future.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Thoughts. Well he's been winning playoff games for the Ravens for two years now, so great job Jacoby.
Ten bucks says we see his SB Ring on an episode of Pawn Stars within two years, because he hawked it.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Jacoby needed to grow up and maybe he did in Baltimore, we'll see.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
A couple things in reply:
1.) Jacoby Jones got himself out of Houston. He never learned to secure the ball the entire time he was here. He bobbled and/or fumbled the ball on special teams so often that no one felt comfortable with him back there. The fateful fumble in the playoff game last year was just the logical conclusion to a series of indicators. Jacoby Jones is no victim and any attempt to paint him as such should be categorically rejected. He did it to himself (and us).
2.) Jacoby Jones had a chance to shine as the #1 WR when AJ went down. In his first game as the #1 WR, against OAK, he was targeted 11 times and managed to pull one in. Many players never get one chance in the NFL. Those that fail on that one chance don't often get a second chance, unless they're a high round draft pick. Kubiak came back to JJ again and again and again. Hell, in the Super Bowl, he showed that his hands still aren't good when he managed to pull that one catch in off his face.
Jacoby Jones is in BAL because he blew it in Houston, not because Houston abandoned him. Houston took a chance on him, gave him multiple opportunities, and finally parted ways only when he finally proved beyond the shadow of a doubt that he couldn't be trusted.
Re: Thoughts on Jacoby Jones
Jacoby Jones is the player he was last year for the Texans. Nothing at all changed (imo). He is still only a #3 WR who has dangerous speed and can make a game-changing play (either bad or good for his team). Jacoby Jones is a player I always cringed when he caught a punt. Although he didn't make as many mistakes this year as a Raven, he is still that player. I do not miss him being in a Texans uniform at all.

Bait bikes produce 4 arrests in Sacramento
Updated On: Feb 16 2014 08:32:04 AM PST
Sacramento police made four arrests with bait bikes in a 24-hour period ending Saturday morning.
The bait bikes were left locked downtown and in Oak Park -- and quickly produced results.
The Sacramento Police Department said 23-year-old Heriberto Torres stole the first bike near McGeorge Law School. It was found later on Second Avenue.
In the same area, officers found Cordell Syce, who was wanted for a parole violation.
Another bait bike was deployed along the 300 block of J Street.
"When these bikes get taken or tampered with, we know," Officer Doug Morse said. "An electronic signal goes off and officers immediately rush to that area in hopes of tracking that bike."
Officers quickly found James Jones and Kenneth Howe, who were arrested on theft charges. One of the men was also booked on narcotics charges.
Morse said signs have been posted downtown near bike racks warning that thieves will be caught

15-year-old Kelvin Doe lives in Sierra Leone. Electricity in his area is erratic, only turning on a handful of times each month. What can you do? Well, this very clever teen went about finding a solution and he ended up building a battery to power his family home.
Fellow Sierra Leone native and MIT doctoral student, David Senegh, saw Kelvin's incredible self-taught engineering skills and advocated for him to visit the prestigious campus. Senegh runs Innovate Salone, a non-profit that supports high school students who are finding ways to improve their home country. Through his non-profit, Senegh raised enough funds for Kelvin to visit the MIT campus as a guest resident for three weeks.
In the video, Kelvin talks about his inventions and you can see him working alongside Senegh with "total creative freedom." You can donate to Innovate Salone and Kelvin on Crowdrise.

1977, UK/USA, Lewis Gilbert
The Spy Who Loved Me is by far the most popular of the Roger Moore Bond movies in terms of fan adoration and critical response. Let me assure you then that it is not without qualms that I confess to finding it somewhat disappointing on repeat viewings. Since Ian Fleming gave strict instructions that his very uncharacteristic novel could not be adapted for the screen, an original plot had to be worked out. The word "original" is probably not quite appropriate in this case, since there are more than a few resemblances to earlier Bond movies - especially You Only Live Twice, also directed by Lewis Gilbert. It's also the film in which the wry comedy of the previous films begins to turn into outright clowning. In fact, that's the problem; it's neither one thing nor the other. If you want a straight Bond film then this seems to be too silly, but if you want outright slapstick fantasy action, then Moonraker is considerably more inventive. While I appreciate that this is very much a minority view, I feel that Spy falls between two stools.
The tenth Eon Bond film, Spy was released in Jubilee year, 1977. So while the Sex Pistols were assuring us that there was no future in England's dreaming, Bond movies were comfortably on the way to slumberland. In this film, Britain's pre-eminent position in the world is taken for granted, America is barely mentioned for half the running time, and only Anglo-Soviet co-operation can save the world from total annihilation. Even when the USA makes an appearance, CIA agents are conspicuous by their absence - presumably too busy buggering about in Central America to be concerned with the threat of nuclear armageddon. The excuse for the action set-pieces in this one is the theft of a nuclear submarine tracking system by Karl Stromberg, a sea-loving nutter who wants to destroy corrupt civilisation and start a new world underwater. In order to do this, he's been stealing Superpower nuclear submarines and stockpiling the missiles. Stromberg is played very colourlessly by Curt Jurgens - webbed fingers being the only concession to flamboyance - so his henchman is, as so often, more interesting. Of course, it's Jaws (Kiel), not only massive but with teeth made out of steel. He's also got a natty blue flared suit. Jaws gets everywhere - the pyramids, a vulgar Cairo nightclub, under the sea and he even, somewhat unconvincingly, fits into the wardrobe of a train sleeping compartment.
As you would expect, The Spy Who Loved Me is very glossy and entertaining. Roger Moore is at his most stylish and amusing, having finally settled into the Bond role, and his delivery is good enough to persuade us that the jokes in the script - mostly contributed by Christopher Wood, creator of the Confessions films - might actually be witty. In the disposable role of the requisite Bond girl, Major Anya Amasova of the KGB, Barbara Bach is adequate. It's supposed to be a triumph of feminism to have a woman as Bond's KGB colleague, but since she still ends up in a revealing costume screaming, it's not exactly "The Female Eunuch". There's some tedious soul-searching about Bond having killed Anya's boyfriend in the spectacular pre-credits scene for which Anya wants revenge, but this is as far as character development goes. In the secondary role of one of Stromberg's henchwomen, Caroline Munroe is, surprisingly, a knockout, with a wonderfully kinky villainy that is over all too soon. Otherwise, the cast perform dutifully, with Bernard Lee and Desmond Llewellyn providing the usual strong base for the film to rest on and welcome appearances from the likes of George Baker, Sidney Tafler and Edmund De Souza.
Lewis Gilbert's direction is, as ever, competent and uninspired - rarely has a mediocre director been better served by good collaborators such as DP Claude Renoir and composer John Barry - but he loses the plot a little in the final third once the action moves inside Stromberg's massive tanker, the Liparus. It's an incredibly impressive set, which involved the building of the massive OO7 stage at Pinewood, at the time the largest interior set ever built. As usual, Ken Adam's design work is stunning throughout, but the scenes within the set are much too repetitive and people of my generation are likely to be distracted by memories of Chris Kelly's Clapperboard which seemed to be reporting from the 007 stage every other episode. However, the excellence of the designs is impressive in itself, and the model work by Derek Meddings throughout the film is quite extraordinary. Some of the other set-pieces in the film are considerably more impressive than the big finish, notably the classic scene where the Lotus Esprit turns into a gadget-ridden submersible and a rather wonderful fight in a Cairo building site.
Let's be fair about this. The Spy Who Loved Me is considerably better than drivel like A View To A Kill but it doesn't quite work. The violence is surprisingly brutal in places which doesn't sit well with the slapstick knockabout, and there is at least one climax too many. The similarities to You Only Live Twice are grating as well - there is one moment which is identical to a scene in the earlier film, right down to the camera angle. Although many fans love this film, I don't think it's the classic that its reputation suggests.

I also had this problem, specially with rubber parts or soft plastic . I 'll try coating them with another layer of paint to see if it helps with removing the sticky layer...another solution could be using a little turpentine (aguarraz) to remove it ...

10 Health And Beauty Benefits Of Being In Love
We are frequently looking for a magic pill to help us feel better and happier. What is the one thing you can do in your life to feel happy, look good and feel good? The answer is love! Here YourTango Experts examine 10 health and beauty benefits of love.
1. More energy. Emotional love works to lift spirits and physical love (sex) leads to better all-around mental and physical health. So much for re-energizing with an afternoon nap—try an afternoon romp instead!
2. Look and feel younger. A happy love life means more smiles and laughter. Research shows that people who stay positive look and feel better as they age than those who don't.
—Linda Marie, Dating/Life Coach
3. More generosity = more happiness. The most positive things about most people's day is doing things for or with others. Positive Psychology teaches us the paradox: Giving is receiving. What better place to practice "giving and receiving" than in relationships? Loving others allows us to focus on the joys of giving, yet allows us to more graciously accept what is given to us, as well. (Seligman, Ryff, Snyder, Lopez)
4. Less stress. Being "in love" allows us to accept another person's influence and assistance, which according to relationships expert and researcher John Gottman, is a big predictor of marital (and relationship) success. This is particularly important for men, who feel more pressure to be in charge and to be the decision-maker, and so benefit from the reduced stress of sharing the load.

When John Fawcett and Graeme Manson first set out to make Orphan Black, all they had was an idea Fawcett has originally pitched in 2001: A woman bears witness as someone who looks exactly like her jumps in front of a train. They didn't know she would be a clone, they didn't have anything planned beyond that simple premise. But the idea would eventually become the exhilarating opening scene of a series that has transfixed fans all over the world since its premiere in March 2013.
What they've developed over the course of nearly two seasons has evolved into an addictive mystery thriller that is progressive in its exploration of subjects and topics that most other TV shows tend to shy away from.read more

She makes the dizzying discovery that she and the dead woman are clones… but are they the only ones? Sarah quickly finds herself caught in the middle of a deadly conspiracy and must race to find answers about who she is and how many others there are just like her.
Co-showrunner of Orphan Black Graeme Manson tells Larry King and the fans what to look forward to in season two.
Orphan Black star Maria Doyle Kennedy answers fan questions, including which clone she'd take to lunch, and what it's like filming a two-clone scene with Tatiana Maslany.

From director Jim Henson, this experimental film depicts a man who finds himself in a white cubical room and has no idea how he got there. Although anyone can enter the cube, the man cannot leave. Panels in the cube open temporarily to admit various visitors, some of whom seem to know the man or want to offer advice.
A student, an ex-con, an engineer, a social worker, a cop and a mentally handicapped person are caught like rats in a trap in a maze of interlocking cubes with no apparent way out. They're clueless as to how they got there or why they were chosen. Food or water is nowhere to be found, and upon further investigation, the six discover some of the rooms are booby-trapped with destructive devices.
Seven complete strangers of widely varying personality characteristics are involuntarily placed in an endless maze containing deadly traps.

Nueces County to get help drafting dune erosion response plan
Local professor will advise county
CORPUS CHRISTI - Nueces County commissioners will pay up to $40,000 to get help drafting a dune erosion response plan the county will submit to the state.
Commissioners at Wednesday's meeting approved signing a service contract with Jennifer Smith-Engle, a geology and environmental science professor at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi, for her advisement in drafting dune erosion response plan. The county has agreed to pay her $90 an hour for her services with a pay limit of $40,000.
To cover the costs, Commissioner Chuck Cazalas agreed to transfer the amount from his precinct's 2011 road and bridges fund to the county public works department, which will oversee the contract. Cazalas' precinct includes North Padre Island, Mustang Island and Port Aransas.

I've been fermenting my own kombucha for only a couple months now, but the other week I developed the beginnings of an ulcer. In researching ulcers I found that a certain strain of bacteria can cause ulcers, but it is not one that is supposed to be in kombucha. My dad tried my kombucha and soon after, he developed what the doctor initially thought was a urinary tract infectiona, but now thinks its something else.
Possibly unrelated, possibly related, this is the bottled kombucha from the last batch. It's been cold around here so this is about two and a half weeks old. I bottled it with non-alcoholic apple cider from the orchard down the street. Is it supposed to look like this? Now I'm scared to drink it :P
I've also just discovered that the sediment is solid as well as liquid looking, and even though it moves like liquid, it won't budge from the bottom of the bottle. Looks über weird.
The sediment could be pectin from the unfiltered apple juice.
As far as infection, the Ph is likely too low. Might want to get test strips to be sure.
Without a definitive diagnosis of your father's condition, all we can do is conjecture at this point.
If you have the resources, have your KT analyzed by a lab. Maybe chat up a biology professor at a local college.
Making the world a bitter place, one IBU at a time.
Axé Cidery and Aleworks
Primary: Social Lubricant
Secondary: Tongue Oil
Lagering: Icy Paralyzer
Bottle conditioning: Liquid Courage
Drinking: Loud Mouth Soup
The types of yeasts and bacteria in kombucha are highly unlikely to cause any infections. They are more likely to clear up infections due to tthe low pH of the solution. The probiotics are known to fight off the bad bacteria and yeasts (like Candida) that make us sick.
The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to a Herxheimer reaction.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jarisch...eimer_reaction
@skadalajara & @kyt thanks- I did test the ph and it is quite low. I'm thinking for me at least, possibly the acidity could have caused my problem (I was drinking a bottle every day)? My stomach is healing and is now only sensitive to vinegar and citrus.
That "blob" at the bottom should a SCOBY.
Is that not what you ferment your kombucha with??
You're missing a verb in your statement, Johnny.

So the co. has the below key stats from yahoo.
I want to know what the board stance on the Debt profile and low cash balance vs. cash flow is... and how risky the high debt load is or is not and why?
Please let me know, I am going to dd this further on my own as well and post my opinion on the debt balance, but any opinions on this vs. the current operating profile will be helpful.
Balance Sheet
Total Cash (mrq): 161.27M
Total Cash Per Share (mrq): 0.38
Total Debt (mrq): 3.45B
Total Debt/Equity (mrq): 241.47
Current Ratio (mrq): 0.70
Book Value Per Share (mrq): 3.13
that is if we trust their returns..
and if they are a research firm what do you think this will result in?
how do you know they are meeting with them?
HK, CLR, DVN, CHK..... on the services PDS PES... probably a bunch others I don't follow... HK a little more similar to SD in price and size but still I see your point... WRES holding up somewhat...
SD needs a break... and the overall market taking a big flush ATM
Look it up.. rather interesting... one must ask why? He got a 90M payoff from SD, not to mention all his other moneys he has had... he was very comfortable and wealthy... so why put together funding and go back to where SD is at?
Is he crazy or does he know something we do not?
a buyout is a different story... if miss lime proves to be manageable output and the acreage alone has value, not to mention the other assets they own... and you get bought out on a premium if you can prove value.
GET US GAAP EARNINGS and GAAP Net Income growth pay down debt and pay the common a dividend in 5-6 years while growing the salt water treatment slowly and MLP that in 3-4 years along with a more productive oil rich region and perhaps a pipeline for steady income.
Less BS more taking pages from Anadarko and CLR and DVN's books.
Bennett I challenge you to have an open forum for investors to discuss these opportunities in further detail... more importantly quit outspending revenues unless you can prove beyond doubt that you are successfully drilling in the shallow regions...
Continue cost cutting, look for joint ventures that will reduce the amount of capital you need to spend... and get some stable cash flows that have longer term exposure and growth for equity holders and less exposed to volatile market downtrends in the underlying commodity...
Proved reserves needs to be proven... period... no more #$%$. Let's fix this company once and for all before it is too late.
The name Sandridge is currently not trusted... make it trusted again.
Sick and tired of honest share holders getting it in the #$%$ from oil/gas conglomerates that are outspending and giving way too competitive compensation at very senior level... this needs to be looked at by activists TPG and Cooperman... Executive compensation should be performance based excessively monitored by the board considering every million matters to SD's bottom line profit.
its postings like this that add no value to an investment decision of buying selling or holding...
If you believe its going to three short with everything you own.
just stating what we already know... oil seems to be flushing out... with SD, PBR, HERO, EXXI on top of those lists of selloffs....
This pain is unbearable. Longs know the pain, shorts might know pleasure for now..
There has been action in the biz yest with Encana buying Athl. but Athl. was performing well in Permian I believe...
Seems market is distrusting of SD and lacks hope in the silence and lack of updates... and the production proforma growth rates...
If this can really hit proforma growth of 19-23% annually that is a major accomplishment with the cost savings of 2.9MM per well or less drilled.... supposedly EURs slowly improving... and 90+ oil still yields a 60% IRR or greater....
Now, there are major problems... liquidity being the most prime concern at heavy debt load... 3x leveraged... maturities have until 2020 so we have time to fix the situation or get bought out....
A company would absolutely assume debt with a buyout if this thing starts churning off some serious oil/gas but right now it definitely appears to be pretty grim from a shareholder holding perspective and shorts seem to just be bludgeoning this and taking control... Could SD get bought out today? Sure... Will they realistically? Probably not until they prove some more accomplishments to the industry...
Could a company like BP or DVN or others buy them? Sure... will they? Maybe..
Could the leverage stop in 2016 when earnings supposedly doubles? Sure... it could slowly be dropped and drop to 1.5x leverage in 2017-2018... will it? I don't know... Does coop know? Probably not... but he thinks this is a valuation play... which often times valuation and fundamental plays can be value traps....
Does SD have some assets to sell off? Yes, but not as much as they used to...
Can they slowdown CapEx? Yes... but will they? probably not since the main goal is to get oil wells producting to increase revenues which ultimately pays down debt... which is a double edged sword to take more debt
Dear Bennett, Coop, TPG, Chang,
You are saying the stock is worth 9-15... put your money where your mouth is... cut the capex, buy back the shares, slow down your outspend and pay down and debt with everything you can... and cut the work force.
what the hell?

Rear Adm. Robert C. Parker, USCG, is the new director of security and intelligence (DSI) at Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), located in Miami. He is the only person ever to hold that title because the position was created the day he reported for duty in April; he also is the only member of the Coast Guard to hold a director position in any U.S. Defense Department command.
The admiral shares that being the first Coast Guard officer to hold a directorship is personally exciting, especially because he is taking part in an organization as innovative as SOUTHCOM. "If you had asked me two years ago if this would ever happen, I think I would have said probably not in my wildest dreams," he states.
The role is well suited for a Coast Guard officer because unlike some other combatant commands, SOUTHCOM undertakes few military operations and has no major armed forces peril in its area of responsibility. One example of how SOUTHCOM works differently than other commands is in its employment of two deputies—a military officer and a Senior Executive Service (SES) civilian.
SOUTHCOM solves problems through interaction from a variety of government agencies and even nongovernmental organizations. Adm. Parker explains that SOUTHCOM is a natural fit for the Coast Guard because of the regular interactions with international governments and interagency representatives. The Coast Guard works frequently with other agencies and the general populace during the course of its normal duty.
Say the words "security clearance" in a conversation with defense contractors, and the vast majority has a tale to tell of long waits and missed opportunities. Those two words have people in Washington, D.C., talking too. For two years, the organizations in charge of the security clearance process have worked hard to improve it. But for many, the time for revamping the old is over, and the time for creating a new process has begun.
Some experts who have followed promises of improvement for decades say talk is cheap and change costs money—the one element that has been missing from many of the plans. While the Security and Suitability Process Reform plan does not address this specific issue, it does focus on a number of problems that have been the downfall of patchwork solutions. The Joint Security and Suitability Reform Team, known as the Joint Reform Team, composed the plan in response to a presidential directive issued on February 5, 2008. The team comprised members of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the U.S. Defense Department, the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Office of the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The U.S. Army's LandWarNet program is reinventing itself as it progresses toward its goal of full connectivity from the command level down to the individual soldier. Technologies deployed in support of warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan are leading to changes in the overarching program, and capabilities introduced by the private sector are adding a new flavor to the Army's contribution to the Global Information Grid. Numerous application and system advancements have been introduced into the theater of operations, and they are the focal point of many of the Army's LandWarNet modifications. Lt. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sorenson, USA, Army Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G-6, states that these advances are changing the communications infrastructure for LandWarNet along with the type of data and applications it is providing.Gen.

The U.S. Army's LandWarNet program is reinventing itself as it progresses toward its goal of full connectivity from the command level down to the individual soldier. Technologies deployed in support of warfighters in Iraq and Afghanistan are leading to changes in the overarching program, and capabilities introduced by the private sector are adding a new flavor to the Army's contribution to the Global Information Grid.
Numerous application and system advancements have been introduced into the theater of operations, and they are the focal point of many of the Army's LandWarNet modifications. Lt. Gen. Jeffrey A. Sorenson, USA, Army Chief Information Officer (CIO)/G-6, states that these advances are changing the communications infrastructure for LandWarNet along with the type of data and applications it is providing.

One of AFCEA's missions is to provide a forum for ethical dialogue between government agencies and industry. In the past, this has only taken the form of conferences, symposia and exhibitions. But today, both AFCEA and SIGNAL Magazine are forging a path in cyberspace to provide yet another avenue for discussion.
In addition to their traditional Web site features, each now provides snippets of material directly from the conference site as well as full coverage by way of audio recordings, usually available within a week of the event. But listening is only one side of a dialogue, so AFCEA and SIGNAL also invite virtual visitors to share their own insights and knowledge by commenting on the blogs and contributing to the wiki. Whether part of the Millennial Generation or ready to retire, participants in these forums are using the tools of their trade to download information into the hard drive they call a brain and suggesting new ways to solve old problems.
The WEBINAR SERIES offers insights about topics that will be discussed during a future event or a burning topic of interest to the AFCEA community.
Superman isn't the only one faster than a speeding bullet. The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) recently achieved Milestone C on its Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) project six months ahead of schedule. Program personnel used a combination of a new test and evaluation master plan template and the organization's breakthrough acquisition model to reach the milestone early. They hope to encourage other programs to speed up their processes as well.
Military developers working on information technology-related projects have been struggling for years to meet U.S. Defense Department acquisition and evaluation requirements while fielding their products on a relevant timescale. If developers respond too slowly to warfighter requirements, the troops work around acquisitions to create what they need. Another problem, especially for information technology projects, is that technologies that take too long to field may be out of date by the time they arrive.
In an effort to reduce the lag time between requirement identification and solution provision and to reduce costs, DISA began its ABC acquisition policy: adopt before buy, buy before create and create if necessary. Using that model, the NCES program was able to accelerate the rollout of several of its capabilities, including the portal function. NCES adopted the Army's Knowledge Online (AKO) to create Defense Knowledge Online, eliminating the need for NCES personnel to start from scratch or even buy technology to develop a new portal. "The AKO portal stood out as already serving a great number of people and providing most of the capabilities [NCES] was looking for," Dr. Steve Hutchison, DISA's director of test and evaluation, explains.
Throughout the 1990s, the end of the Cold War brought with it a new approach to military doctrine. Planners throughout the newly enlarged Free World modernized their forces around information technologies. In the United States, network-centric operations became the modernization catch phrase as the military moved to embrace new enabling technologies and transform for new missions and obligations.
But, as with most military modernizations in peacetime, the effect of information technologies on the fighting force largely was theoretical. Planners designed architectures around systems that then were acquired and fielded; but at the end of the day the effectiveness of the network-centric force could be evaluated only by limited training and experimentation.
That changed on September 11, 2001. The United States found itself at war, and the military soon was pressed into service in Afghanistan and Iraq. Suddenly the new network-centric systems had moved from the theoretical to the actual battlefield. The technologies and the concept itself would undergo the ultimate live-fire test—war.
Early grades were good. Warfighters liked many of the new technologies, which they found especially useful against the Taliban in Afghanistan and Saddam Hussein's army in Iraq. Some systems making their way through the procurement pipeline were sent to the battlefield on an accelerated schedule, and they also were received warmly by the troops.
Opening-day remarks at the Navy Blue Coast Small Business Conference by two of the Navy's top acquisition officials conveyed a clear message that the Department of the Navy values small businesses. John S. Thackrah, assistant secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition, specifically asked for small business input and ideas in his kickoff address at this second annual Navy small business event. He encouraged small businesses to be persistent in their efforts to communicate their ideas to the Navy and remarked, "Small business is where all of our great innovation comes from." Thackrah's enthusiasm for the promise of the small business contribution in support of overall maritime strategy was evident throughout his remarks.
Rear Adm. Seán F. Crean, USN, deputy assistant secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) Acquisition and Logistics Management, in his address to the group after lunch, echoed Thackrah's sentiments. Adm. Crean added that when it comes to small business, the Navy understands. "We know that 40 percent of our high-tech workers are employed in small businesses. We know that most of our innovation comes from small businesses."
Both Thackrah and Adm. Crean have small business backgrounds, which helps explain their zeal. Thackrah was once a small business owner himself and understands first-hand what it means to manage a business. Adm. Crean is a Reserve component flag officer currently serving on active duty. In his civilian life, Adm. Crean works for the U.S. Small Business Administration's Office of Government Contracting.
Disaster zones are the latest home for a system that is more often seen in command centers and Pentagon offices than in operations. The Deployable Site Transport Boundary (DSTB) is a local area network extension capability that can enable up to 200 warfighters in the field to tap into the Navy/Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) using one public Internet protocol address. The capability was developed by the U.S. Marine Corps and EDS to enable humanitarian relief efforts with a small equipment footprint.
Ron Bowlin, manager, NMCI Enterprise Engineering Services, EDS, says the genesis of the capability occurred in mid-2006 when the Marine Corps needed instant plug-and-play access to the NMCI network during a deployment. The capability did not exist then, but by spring 2008, what has been donned "NMCI in a Box" was not demonstrated but actually used during exercise Cobra Gold in Thailand. Also, the 3rd Marine Logistics Group, based in Japan, recently used the capability while deployed to Burma as part of Joint Task Force Caring Response, a humanitarian relief mission.
The box this NMCI connection comes in is no ordinary container. About the size of a steamer trunk, it is both ruggedized and waterproof. Among the components inside is a router, virtual private networking technology, a wide-area data services application accelerator called Steelhead and an uninterruptible power supply.

Take a Look at the Best Drinks

It was the first dry spell after days of rain. At 8:30 on a Tuesday night at Coconuts, French doors opened to accommodate a cross breeze and people-watching. Just-right lighting ensured that the dining crowd looked especially attractive. Canvas shades had been unfurled for a backdrop. Boat lights twinkled in the Intracoastal. That cold front I'd been hearing about had arrived. I took a seat at the bar, facing the water.
"What is your name?" asked my bartender, Derek. In between the recitation of a handful of specials and a bulletin that all bottles of wine are half-price on Mondays and Tuesdays, Derek introduced me to his fellow bartenders and the guy next to me. My bar mate, a lawyer for the airline industry, segued between reading Jon Krakauer's Under the Banner of Heaven and talking to me about the book.
Coconuts, the restaurant in the choke of tourist traps near A1A and Sea Breeze Boulevard, has a clunky name that connotes plastic flamingos, spray tanning oil, and a rack that's a couple of cup sizes larger than peaches. Despite the dopey connotation, the place is charismatic and even graceful, especially on nights like tonight, when the service is on.

Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

Region: Fort Lauderdale
Part of its appeal is that it caters to locals. Coconuts used to be a sibling to Mangos on Las Olas. Back then, it dished out expensive, subpar food, like many restaurants on the ocean stretch. Five years ago, a Houston's company guy, Elliott Wolfe, bought it, recruiting colleagues Merv Jonota and chef Luc Limage of the Miami branch to join him to run the place. "We loved Houston's, but we wanted to start a place with friendly, local appeal," said Jonota, the restaurant's general manager. Wolfe has recently signed a lease on the restaurant's adjacent space, and the trio will open B&G Oyster Bar there this December.
Coconuts is the first restaurant where I'd had lunch in Fort Lauderdale, when my editor took me last July during my interview for this job. I was expecting a fried fish basket or blackened seafood. And although those items are available — dear God, with the '80s long gone, why won't blackened anything go the way of raspberry coulis? — the menu also offers some ringers. Two favorites are the delicious banh mi on crusty French bread with marinated pork, pâté, pickled carrots, jalapeños, cucumber slices, and cilantro for $15, as well as a soft-shell crab on a poppy roll for $18, served with homemade aioli, bib lettuce, a wedge of ripe tomato, and pickled red onions.
Coconuts is also where I became enamored of Florida fish dip, a starter listed on so many menus throughout South Florida. Here, it's made with mahi-mahi or kingfish, Miracle Whip, mustard, and thyme. Served with relish and Tabasco, the dip is meant to serve as a one-bite Saltine spread, with room for adjustment of sweet and spice.
As I've learned in half a dozen visits to Coconuts, polished service is not always the norm, particularly at lunch, when a waiter might skip the paper and pen and subsequently bring out the wrong item or double back after he has walked away and forgotten the order. I'm told by chefs to expect better service at night in South Florida, where the power lunch almost does not exist, but the discrepancy in service between shifts is baffling.
On this Tuesday night at the bar, the service is seamless. Derek delivers a bottle of Italian Vitiano Rosata. At $12, it's a deal and pairs nicely with the night's special. A $28 bowl of paella is the menu addition on Tuesdays and Fridays, when a line cook tends to the rice dish on the patio. It's a delicious amalgam of saffron-infused rice; a half lobster tail; a braised, bone-in chicken thigh; mussels; whitefish; roasted red peppers; and haricot verts. I'd asked for and scored some extra socarrat, the caramelized, toasted rice on the bottom that's the best part of any paella.
Like the service, the food can also vary, though I have yet to have a bad meal. By the list of specials, you can tell that Luc Limage is having fun in the kitchen. While the main menu lists standards such as a $16 steak salad, $19 coconut shrimp, and an $18 yard bird with rosemary and lemon, the specials reward more-adventurous diners. Specials also allow Limage to test dishes such as the banh mi or soft-shell-crab sandwich on a conservative dining public. The sides are more stylish than the rest of the menu, with $3 to $4.50 offerings such as mac and cheese, sausage and sage stuffing, pigeon peas and rice, and deviled eggs.
Occasionally the presentation is sloppy. For lunch one afternoon, I'd ordered the heirloom tomato salad minus blue cheese, which arrived as if beautiful red, yellow, and purple tomatoes had been sliced with a plastic serrated knife. Uneven, oversized chunks of tomato were presented with jagged skins. The bowl was enormous, containing no fewer than three giant tomatoes.
Whether it's a salad, sandwich, or entrée, expect gargantuan portions, and order accordingly. Each entrée will likely serve two or double as the next day's lunch, which adds value to dishes that range from $9 to $26.
Despite a goofy name, the owners of Coconuts are succeeding in creating a place that's authentic and charming. With a little polish and smoothing out of the kinks, Coconuts could provide regular dining that's as lovely as the scene on deck on a balmy Lauderdale night.

I've been a few times by boat and loved it but was treated like crap the last time by the waitress and manager and have not been back. I think it's time for a second chance.
Dinner at Coconuts followed by drinks at the Trove is #1 Fort Lauderdale first date. That's a fact.
Love going in on Monday's and Tuesday's - half off on every bottle of wine on the wine list! Scoobies are fabluous and the specials are always so delicious. This article doesn't do coconuts any justice to the food and service! They're extremely good at all aspects!
The food at coconuts is amazing. The servers always have a great smile and it seems that they work as a huge team. I really appreciate when restaurants don't come to the table and start calling off names of food and try to figure out who had what. They know where all the food goes and who is eating what dish, which i love. Food is always consistent and changing with the season. Always expect fresh vegtables and fruits.

Mortgage REITs remains the one sector in the U.S. that has been enjoying record low interest rates for some time now. Today we have tried to identify five small-cap mortgage REITs (with market caps of less than $1bn) that we believe are the best candidates for long positions. Most of these high-dividend yielding small-cap mortgage REITs have been able to increase their asset yields, despite a flattening yield curve environment.
Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. (AMTG)
Apollo Residential Mortgage operates as a small-cap mortgage REIT with a market cap of $508 million. The company seeks to invest in both Agency and non-Agency residential mortgage-backed securities. A majority of the portfolio is mde up of Agency residential mortgage-backed securities. The company also aims to diversify its assets portfolio with the passage of time with a broad range of other residential assets, including residential mortgage loans. Non-Agency securities form 12% of the company's entire assets portfolio, while the remaining are Agency securities. Asset yields for the quarter ended June 30, 2012 were 3.3%, against 3.6% in the linked quarter. Despite a decline in the assets yields earned, the company was able to increase its total interest income by 78% to $21,990 over the previous quarter. Interest spread that the company earned during the second quarter of the current year decreased by 30bps to 2.8%, as compared with the first quarter.
The company's projected net interest income will decline by 4.2% if an instantaneous parallel shift of -0.5% occurs in the yield curve.
Dynex Capital Inc. (DX)
Dynex Capital is another small-cap ($590 million) mortgage REIT that operates in the U.S. financial sector. The company seeks to invest in shorter-duration high-quality Agency and non-Agency mortgage-backed securities. A large proportion (approximately 82%) of the assets portfolio is made up of Agency securities. All of the Agency residential mortgages that the company holds are hybrid adjustable-rate mortgages. Asset yields decreased from 3.58% in the prior quarter to 3.29% in the second quarter. However, the interest income that the company earned during the second quarter remained flat at $19 million. The company earned an interest rate spread of 2.18% during the second quarter of the current year, as opposed to 2.41% in the linked quarter and 2.45% in the same quarter of the previous year.
The projected net interest income for the coming quarter will increase by 4.4% if an instantaneous parallel shift of -0.5% occurs in the yield curve.
PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust (PMT)
PMT, another small-cap mortgage REIT with a market cap of just over $900 million, primarily focuses on distressed securities. For the purpose of operations, the company has two business segments; Correspondent Lending and Investing Activities. Besides constructing a portfolio of distressed securities, mortgage-backed securities, real estate acquired in settlement of loans and mortgage servicing rights, the company also purchases originated mortgage loans to securities and resells them. The portfolio of securities that the company holds consists of both performing and non-performing securities. The company was able to enhance the interest rate spread that it earned from 0.59% in the first quarter to 1.67% in the second quarter. An increase in the average annualized yield on assets and a decline in the cost of funds was associated with the increase in the net interest spread. Cost of funds decreased 42bps while asset yields increased 66bps when compared sequentially. The company pays $0.55 per share in dividends and had EPS of $0.79. This reflects the company's ability to continue this dividend distribution in the foreseeable future.
AG Mortgage Investment Trust (MITT)
AG Mortgage Investment Trust is another small-cap player in the U.S. mortgage REITs industry. It has a market cap of just over $500 million. The company seeks to invest largely in Agency mortgage-backed securities. It also has non-agency mortgage-backed securities in the asset portfolio. Despite a record-low interest rate environment and the flattening of the yield curve, the company was able to enhance its annualized average asset yield from 3.22% in the first quarter to 3.31% in the second quarter of the current year. The increase in the asset yield was primarily associated with a 106% increase in the non-agency securities in the asset portfolio. The stock offers a dividend yield of 11.8%, which is strongly backed by an operating cash flow yield of 14.4%. Despite the headwinds from a flattening yield curve, the company was able to increase its asset yields. Investors can expect this growth to continue. This suggests the company has the ability and the muscle to sustain and even grow dividend distribution in the future.
If the yield curve shifts instantaneously by -50bps, the company's projected net interest income will increase by 5.8%.
Crexus Investment Corp. (CXS)
Crexus Investment has a market cap of just over $800 million, and seeks to invest primarily in commercial mortgage-backed securities of any credit rating, including below investment grade. Additionally, the company also purchases residential mortgage-backed securities that are sponsored by the U.S. government. Despite a 42% decline in average interest earning assets during the past one year, the net interest income for the company increased from $12.9 million a year ago to $17.6 million for the second quarter of the current year. The increase in net interest income was primarily associated with recycling of maturing assets into higher coupon loans. Asset yields increased from 4.64% in the second quarter of the previous year to 11% in the second quarter of the current year. The net interest spread that the company earned during the second quarter of the current year and the same quarter of the previous year were 7.51% and 2.15%, respectively. As a result, net interest income increased from $12.2 million to $17.3 million over the same time period. Crexus earns the highest net interest spread among the mortgage REITs being considered in this report. The stock offers a handsome dividend yield of 10.14%.
On a 25bps simultaneous decline in the interest rate yield curve, the projected net interest income for the company will decline by 0.44%.
