The Continental Illinois National Bank and Trust Company was at one time the seventh-largest bank in the United States as measured by deposits with approximately $40 billion in assets. In 1984, Continental Illinois became the largest ever bank failure in U.S. history, when a run on the bank led to its seizure by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Continental Illinois retained this dubious distinction until the failure of Washington Mutual in 2008 during the financial crisis of 2008, which ended up being over seven times larger than the failure of Continental Illinois.[1][2][3]
Continental Illinois can be traced back to two Chicago banks, the Commercial National Bank, founded during the American Civil War, and the Continental National Bank, founded in 1883.
In 1910 the two banks merged to form the Continental & Commercial National Bank of Chicago with $175 million in deposits – a large bank at the time. In 1932 the name was changed to the Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust Co.[4]
In May 1984,[5] Continental Illinois became insolvent due, in part, to bad loans purchased from the failed Penn Square Bank N.A. of Oklahoma—loans for oil & gas producers and service companies and investors in the Oklahoma and Texas oil & gas boom of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Due diligence was not properly conducted by John Lytle, an executive in the Mid-Continent Division of oil lending, and other leading officers of the bank. Lytle later pleaded guilty to a count of defrauding Continental of $2.25 million and receiving $585,000 in kickbacks for approving risky loan applications. Lytle was sentenced to three and a half years in a federal prison. The Penn Square failure eventually caused a substantial run on the bank's deposits once it became clear Continental Illinois was headed for failure. Large depositors withdrew over $10 billion of deposits in early May 1984.[6]
Due to Continental Illinois' size, regulators were not willing to let it fail.[7] The Federal Reserve and Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) feared a failure could cause widespread financial trouble and instability. To avert this, regulators prevented the loss of virtually all deposit accounts and even bondholders. The FDIC infused $4.5 billion to rescue the bank. According to Daniel Yergin in The Prize: The Epic Quest for Oil, Money, and Power (1991), "The Federal Government intervened, with a huge bail-out–$5.5 billion of new capital, $8 billion in emergency loans, and, of course, new management."[8] A willing merger partner had been sought for two months but could not be found. Eventually, the board of directors and top management were removed.[9][10] Bank shareholders were substantially wiped out, although holding-company bondholders were protected. Until the seizure of Washington Mutual in 2008, the bailout of Continental Illinois was the largest bank failure in American history.
The term "too big to fail" was popularized by Congressman Stewart McKinney in a 1984 Congressional hearing, discussing the FDIC's intervention with Continental Illinois.[11] The term had previously been used occasionally in the press.[12]
Continental Illinois was renamed Continental Bank. It continued to exist, with the federal government effectively owning 80% of the company's shares and having the right to obtain the remainder (ultimately exercised in 1989) if losses in the rescue exceeded certain thresholds. The federal government gradually disposed of its ownership interests in Continental Bank, completing the process on June 6, 1991. In 1994, Continental Bank was acquired by BankAmerica in order to broaden the latter's midwestern presence. In 2007, successor bank firm Bank of America has a retail branch and hundreds of back-office employees at Continental's former headquarters on South LaSalle Street in Chicago. Bank of America operates dozens of retail branches in the Chicago area and purchased LaSalle Bank in 2007 to expand its Chicago business and several lines of corporate and investment banking business.
Continental Illinois Venture Corporation, an investment subsidiary of the bank, formed a semi-independent private equity firm, CIVC Partners, with backing from Bank of America.
Part of the bank's required reserves were held in silver dollars, which provided the opportunity to profit from a rise in silver prices. The hoard, estimated to be 1.5 million silver dollars, was sold to a coin dealer to raise money in the early 1980s.[13][14]

"I?ve used loads of different wall paints over the years. This was runnier than most but covered a dark colour in my kitchen very well (2 coats) and dried to a lovely smooth finish. It was a perfect match for my Wickes Mocha Mix mosaic wall tiles. Initial impression is that the surface is hard and not chalky and soft. Very impressed and would definitely use again."

Introducing Alpha.Data.gov
When the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy announced its call for 18 Presidential Innovation Fellows last summer, US Chief Technology Officer Todd Park also asked folks across the country to support these Fellows with great ideas and valuable feedback.
Over the past few months, through video chats, conference calls, and in-person meetings, thousands of Americans have connected with us to learn and share ideas about our work—and this Administration's commitment—to unleash data from the vaults of the government as fuel for innovation. Time and again, we were asked why more people weren't aware of these "Open Data" efforts, their numerous benefits for Americans, and how to get engaged.
After hearing this feedback, we had an idea: create an online showcase, highlighting the very best Open Data resources and how they are already being used by private-sector entrepreneurs and innovators to create new products and services that benefit people in all kinds of ways—from empowering patients to find the best healthcare right when they need it; to helping consumers detect credit card fraud; to keeping kids safe by notifying parents when products in their home are recalled.
Screenshot from the new alpha.data.gov experimental website, created by the 2012 Presidential Innovation Fellows.
On scrap paper, we sketched out a simple one-page website that would tell the story of Open Data: Alpha.Data.gov. As the name suggests, this is an experimental release. Over time, it will grow and evolve to help catalyze future improvements to the design, content, and infrastructure of Data.gov.
In the meantime, think of Alpha.Data.gov as a first draft. To make it better, we need your help. We've seen firsthand that your feedback, ideas, and stories can spur new Open Data innovations. So please send your feedback to @ProjectOpenData on Twitter. And if you're a front-end designer or front-end developer, we'd love to get your feedback directly on GitHub, so that we can design this collaboratively.
2013 promises to be a busy year for Open Data efforts at The White House and across government. But this story isn't just about us. It's about what we can all do together to spur game-changing innovation through the application of Open Data.
To learn more about the Presidential Innovation Fellows, please visit: WhiteHouse.gov/InnovationFellows
To learn more about Open Data resources currently available, please visit: Alpha.Data.gov and Data.gov
Danny Chapman is a Presidential Innovation Fellow working on MyGov at the General Services Administration.
Ryan Panchadsaram is a Presidential Innovation Fellow working on Blue Button for America at the Department of Health and Human Services.

2013 Tax Season Opens January 30th for 1040 Filers
The Internal Revenue Service will begin to accept and process 1040 applications on January 30th because of the recent tax law changes enacted by Congress in early January. However, there are several forms that require more extensive programming and testing because of the late legislation. At this time these forms are expected to be accepted in late February or March.
IRS Extends 2012 Filing Deadline
The Internal Revenue Service has announced a two-day extension to the tax return filing deadline for 2012.
Taxpayers will have until Tuesday, April 17, to file their 2011 tax returns and pay any tax due because April 15 falls on a Sunday, and Emancipation Day, a holiday observed in the District of Columbia, falls this year on Monday, April 16. According to federal law, District of Columbia holidays impact tax deadlines in the same way that federal holidays do; therefore, all taxpayers will have two extra days to file this year. Taxpayers requesting an extension will have until Oct. 15 to file their tax returns.

IRS Ready to Accept All Returns
The IRS announced today that it is now ready to accept all income tax returns. "The IRS is now accepting all the 1040 forms," IRS Commissioner Doug Shulman said. "We worked hard to update our systems and get the changes in place as quickly as possible. We appreciate the patience of those impacted by the delay. We urge taxpayers to use e-file with direct deposit, and they can get their refunds within days." In late December 2010, the IRS announced it would delay processing of some tax returns in order to update processing systems to accommodate the late tax law changes.

Late Changes in Tax Law Delay Tax Season for Some
The start of the 2011 filing season will begin in January for the majority of taxpayers. However, last minute changes in the law mean that the IRS will need to reprogram its processing systems for three provisions that were extended in the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010 that became law on Dec. 17. Only three specific categories of taxpayers are affected by this:
- Taxpayers claiming itemized deductions on Schedule A
- Taxpayers claiming the Higher Education Tuition and Fees Deduction
- Taxpayers claiming the Educator Expense Deduction
Education Tax Credits
As the April 15th Tax Deadline fast approaches don't forget about the American Opportunity Credit. This credit which was part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act modifies existing education credits and makes them available to a broader range of taxpayers. It also adds required course materials to the list of qualifying expenses and allows the credit to be claimed for four post-secondary education years instead of two. Many of those eligible will qualify for the maximum annual credit of $2,500 per student. For more information visit IRS.gov.

Deduct Donations to Haiti on Your 2009 Tax Return
The United States Congress has approved a bill that will allow taxpayers to deduct recent contributions to the Haiti relief effort on their 2009 tax returns. To qualify the donation must be monetary and be made to a qualifying charity assisting in Haiti. For more details on how you can help visit the USAID website.
Avoid An Unpleasant Surprise in January
Millions of taxpayers started taking home more money in their paychecks this past April thanks to the Making Work Pay Tax Credit. However, changes to the IRS withholding tables cannot take into account single workers with multiple jobs or dual-income married couples for example. All these changes could mean a smaller refund or larger balance due next year. Now is the time to review and adjust your W-4 and ensure that you are withholding the correct amount. This IRS Withholding Calculator can help you avoid an unpleasant surprise come tax time.
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act & You
The Canton Public Library and H&R Block have partnered to present a program on April 5 at 1 p.m. to help residents learn how the act affects them and how to prepare to claim these tax credits on their income tax form. Phyllis Wood, H&R Block Tax Specialist, will tell you how to plan for and document tax credits, what information you'll need for your tax return and some of the differences between this year and last year's allowances.

5 is ******** , the guardians of middle earth kept that blade. One that looked like it stabbed frodo, doesnt make it the same blade
#78 to #75
gihadflab (03/26/2013) [-]
in both the book and movie they explain that the Mogul Blade was buried in the tomb of the king who owned it. The fact that the blade is brought out of the tomb which cant be broken into suggests the presence of a powerful necromancer, Sauron. And as you know, the Hobbit is before the LOTR trilogy. so it makes sense that the mogul blade would be in the trilogy

It has rocked at our shows and it feels like we recorded a version that puts you right there in the first ten rows."
"All People is about the beauty of diversity, being your authentic self in a crazy world and the infinite power of love," added Franti. "For everyone that's been with us for days or decades, I really appreciate the love that you've given us. The music is for you and you inspire us."
Franti's impressive career spans decades, albums and many achievements. The singer, poet and activist has amassed an extensive and rabid fanbase, and draws sell-out crowds by virtue of his electrifying live shows.
All People follows 2010's The Sound Of Sunshine, which was the highest Billboard Top 200 Album Chart debut of Franti's career. The album was nominated for a 2010 NAACP Image Award and its title track held the #1 spot on Billboard's AAA Singles Chart for eight consecutive weeks.

Apple Snow on Phyllo Leaves
Photo: psfreeman
Amazingly light and temptingly creamy, this unique recipe is elegant enough for dinner guests. Apple Snow can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 2 days. If you want to make your own applesauce, follow the recipe for Homemade Applesauce. Instead of phyllo cups, use a cookie cutter to cut leaf-shaped sections of phyllo dough and then bake. Instead of cinnamon, try sprinkling apple snow with crumbled vanilla wafers or your favorite cookie.
Yield: 8 servings
Community Recipe from
Recipe Time
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
1 Hour
- 2 1/2 cup(s) applesauce, store-bought
- Powdered egg whites and water equivalent to 3 large egg whites
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) cream of tartar
- 3 sheets (14 by 9 inches) frozen phyllo dough, thawed
- Butter-flavored cooking spray
- Ground cinnamon
- Step 1 Place the applesauce in a large bowl and chill for 30 minutes.
- Step 2 In another large bowl, beat the powdered egg whites and water with a mixer on slow speed until they begin to foam, about 1 minute. Add the cream of tartar and beat at high speed until shiny, stiff peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Step 3 With the mixer still on low speed, add the applesauce, 1/2 cup at a time, scraping down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Then beat the applesauce and egg-white mixture on medium speed for 1 minute until the mixture is stiff enough to hold its shape on the spatula.
- Step 4 Spoon it into a serving bowl, cover with Saran™ Cling Plus® Wrap and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Step 5 Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Then lightly spray the cups of a standard muffin tin with cooking spray. Also lightly spray three sheets of phyllo dough, dust each with cinnamon, and layer the sheets one on top of the other. Cut into 8 rectangles approximately 3 1/2 by 4 1/2 inches to fill 8 cups of a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
- Step 6 Gently place each phyllo rectangle halfway into the muffin cup, letting the edges come up a bit (as shown in photo). Bake in the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until light golden brown. Carefully remove the baked phyllo cups and cool them on a baking rack. These can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container.
- Step 7 Place each phyllo cup on a plate, spoon in apple snow and sprinkle with cinnamon.

Holman Christian Standard (CSB) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins | 1 As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, |
2 in which you previously walked according to this worldly age, according to the ruler of the atmospheric domain, the spirit now working in the disobedient. | 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. |
3 We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and by nature we were children under wrath, as the others were also. | 3 All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. |
4 But God, who is abundant in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us, | 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, |
5 made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. By grace you are saved! | 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. |
6 He also raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus, | 6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, |

What Do Dads Want on Father's Day?
Father's Day is set for Sunday, as millions of dads grill, chill and settle down with their families to enjoy the day.
But deep down inside, are dads really getting what they want from Father's Day? Or do they believe they're getting short shrift compared with the fairer sex on Mother's Day?
The firm RetailMeNot.com says the gift dad really wants this weekend is quality time with the family.
Those are questions asked -- and hopefully answered -- by the online shopping site RetailMeNot.com, which shared its findings with us.
The Austin, Texas-based firm, which bills itself as the largest online coupon provider in the U.S., says that the gift dad really wants this weekend is quality time with the family. What he doesn't want are #1 Dad T-shirts and ties.
Under the surface, RetailMeNot says, dad may be harboring some bruised feelings about how Father's Day may be overshadowed by Mother's Day. Seventy-seven percent of men and women surveyed by the company says that sentiment would not be unwarranted; they say mothers definitely get more attention than dads get on their respective holidays. Some other takeaways from the RetailMeNot survey:- Only 35% of father's want gifts that actually cost money on Father's Day. That's compared with 52% of moms who said they wanted gifts that cost money for Mother's Day.
- Of those dads who do want gifts that cost money, gift cards (13%) and electronics (8%) were at the top of their wish list.
- Forty percent of dads said they wanted "quality" time with their family this Sunday. Only 3% opted for "time alone" for the day, compared with 11% of moms for Mother's Day.
- Fifty-one percent of respondents said they spent between $1 and $100 on Father's Day gifts. That compares with 67% who expressed the same sentiment on Mother's Day.
- Sixty percent of dads expected no gifts at all for Father's Day.

Good Fit
I really like these kicks, they don't have the vulcanized sole, which means you get some extra pad support. I like the mesh in the uppers and the styling on the tongue looks great. The sizing is good and the quality so far is good.

OpenSource World Conference & Expo Announced
IDG World Expo announced the launch of OpenSource World Conference & Expo, an event that will include features of LinuxWorld with an emphasis on open source technology.
Scheduled for August 10-13, 2009, at San Francisco's Moscone Center, OpenSource World will include a full conference program and an exhibit floor featuring Linux and open source companies. The event will be co-located with IDG's Next Generation Data Center (NGDC) event, which will offer separate conference tracks but share the expo floor. Whereas LinuxWorld included a three-day expo hall, the new OpenSource World expo will be reduced to two days.
Prior to the new event announcement, LinuxWorld organizers announced a move to Moscone West, a smaller conference hall.
O'Reilly's OSCON event has moved to take place in San Jose three weeks prior to OpenSource World, making the two events head-to-head competitors.

Top 5 favorite Hawaii places to watch a sunset

Waikiki, Oahu

Waikiki, Oahu
(Last year: #1)
Favorite place to catch a Hawaii sunset? How could the annual crowds that continue to hold up Waikiki as the state's visitor Mecca be wrong? With its typically gentle and long-lasting wave break, the waters are perfect for learning how to stand up on a surfboard or help paddle an outrigger canoe. While much of daily water-sports activity takes place near the Duke Kahanamoku statue, the best view of Diamond Head Crater is on the sand edging the pink Royal Hawaiian Hotel. Waikiki area also includes Fort DeRussy Beach, Kuhio Beach, and Queen Surf Beach.

A prepublication report on the study appears in the online issue of Journal of Infectious Diseases (JID).
The researchers showed that the vaccine completely protected ferrets from a lethal nasal infection against not only the original virus the vaccine was made to thwart, but also against a newer variant that has already proved fatal to humans. The ferrets experienced a more significant reduction of virus multiplication than otherwise would have occurred, the researchers reported. Moreover, the infections failed to spread out of the upper respiratory tract to the lungs or brain.
"These findings are especially significant because ferrets are known to be an excellent and accurate model of influenza infection and immune response in humans," said Elena Govorkova, Ph.D., a staff scientist in the Department of Infectious Diseases at St. Jude. "Restricting the infection to the upper respiratory tract is important since in humans the virus has been isolated from specimens taken from the cerebrospinal fluid, feces, throat and blood serum. Therefore, limiting the spread of virus in an infected human is crucial to saving that person's life." Govorkova is the lead author of the JID paper and led the research team conducting the study.
The team also showed that the optimal strategy for vaccination of immunologically na�ve individuals will be the use of two doses, which in the ferrets triggered more antibody protection than a single dose. Immunologically na�ve individuals are those whose immune systems have not been stimulated to respond to a particular antigen.
The St. Jude study was the first one to show cross-reactive immunity against current H5N1 variants in ferrets, according to Robert Webster, Ph.D., a member of the Infectious Diseases department and holder of the Rose Marie Thomas Chair at St. Jude. Webster is an internationally renowned expert on avian influenza viruses and is senior author of the report in JID.
Cross-reactive immunity is the protection that a virus vaccine confers against not only the same virus, but also against variants of the original virus. "Such cross-protection would allow the use of a stockpiled vaccine until a vaccine against the specific variant causing the outbreak is developed," Webster said. "So our success with ferrets is extremely promising news."
Using reverse genetics, the team mixed genes from a safe, laboratory bird flu virus with a gene for the hemagglutinin (HA) protein from the H5N1 virus isolated in Hong Kong. The virus uses the HA proteins on its surface to infect cells in the respiratory tract. The resulting vaccine had the outside appearance of a dangerous virus that would stimulate the immune system, but the inside genes of a harmless variety of virus that could not cause disease. The St. Jude team was the first to use reverse genetics to make a vaccine against H5N1 that moved out of the laboratory and into clinical trials: http://www.stjude.org/media/0,2561,453_5484_4638,00.html.
Other authors of the study include Richard Webby, Jennifer Humberd and Jon Seiler, all of St. Jude.
This work was supported in part by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health and ALSAC.

"excellent location & value for money"
The apartment is in an excellent location, just a 10 min stroll to the far end of los cristianos. The outside space of the apartment is amazing. A very big balcony on 2 levels that gets the sun from 11 until sunset. There are some very good local bars/restaurants, our favourite being Manhattens. There are 2 supermarkets within 1 minute of the apartment. The apartment was very clean & had everything you need for a self catering holiday. Our favourite beach was playa vista just a short stroll along from los cristianos. There is a lovely bar/restaurant overlooking the beach called the sea breeze which I would highly recommend. Andy & Sam were a pleasure to deal with & always emailed back very quickly & made the booking easy. I would recommend the airport pick up that can be arranged as it is the same price as a taxi. All in all an excellent holiday & we cant wait to return the same time next year. the weather was amazing, 6 days of wall to wall sun !! what more can you want.

"Immaculate Apartment in a beautiful residential setting. Ticks all the boxes for a relaxing fuss free holiday."
Where do i start! Casa Del Ross is a beautifully maintained holiday home, with all amities you need for your stay, in fantastic condition and importantly easily useable! I stayed at Casa Del Ross for a week with 2 other friends all of us in our late 20's. We all agreed that the apartment ticked all the boxes, It was spotless, it has everything you'd need and we all felt that we were in the comfort of our own home.The balcony ( there are views of the sea) area is a sun trap with 2 sun loungers. At night we made use of the 4 chairs and a table, to have a glass of wine as the sun went down over the sea. From contacting Samantha ( so helpful and friendly) to getting into the apartment, we had an easy and pleasant transaction to the most relaxing holiday we have all had to date. The apartment is residential so you feel like you're coming home and really part of a Spanish experience. We hopped a taxi to Las Americas one evening and cost us nothing at all, and there are taxis available all night. There are local restaurants and every cuisine imaginable, a supermarket 2 minutes walk away, local pool that cost €15 all you can eat and the use of a stunning pool and buses to take you on day trips. All in all a fantastic experience, book with confidence, it will be everything it advertises. I am returning for a second time, this April and i can't wait!
Thanks for your great review of Casa Del Ross,we hope you enjoy your stay in April and September even more now as we have ourselves just returned after a brief stay and have made a few improvements based on previous tennants reviews. We have given the place a lick of paint, purchased a new fridge and 2 new 27cm deep memory foam mattresses which I have to say felt devine after a hard day doing not much! Local bars and restaurants get better every time we return and the Spa over the road is great value for a lazy day. Thanks again.

Are Mixtapes More Profitable Than Albums?
Joe Budden
Joe Budden's dedicated fans tend to rock with him no matter what, but aside from his self-titled Def Jam debut, there's a clear difference between his mixtapes and his retail work. When he's left to his own devices on mixtapes, the result is Mood Muzik, a seminal mixtape series of somber, candid recollections of his personal life and dumb out sessions alongside emcees like his Slaughterhouse groupmates, Pusha T and Lloyd Banks. Unfortunately, his later retail discs are plagued with formulaic production. Hopefully, his hot new "She Don't Put It Down" single with Lil Wayne and Tank is a sign that he's on the right track for his next project.
