A.M. Best Affirms Ratings Of National Interstate Corporation And Its Property/Casualty Subsidiaries
A.M. Best Co. has affirmed the issuer credit rating (ICR) of "bbb+" of National Interstate Corporation (NATL) [NASDAQ: NATL]. Concurrently, A.M. Best has affirmed the financial strength rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and ICRs of "a+" of the operating members of National Interstate Group (National Interstate). The outlook for all ratings is positive. All companies are domiciled in Richfield, OH, except for Vanliner Insurance Company, which is domiciled in Fenton, MO. NATL is 52% owned by Great American Insurance Company, a wholly owned subsidiary of American Financial Group, Inc. (See below for a detailed list of the companies and ratings.)
The ratings reflect the group members' excellent operating performance, which outperforms the peer composite over the long term, strong risk-adjusted capitalization and demonstrated expertise within the transportation industry, which is its niche market. In addition, the ratings acknowledge the experienced management team and conservative operating philosophy. National Interstate's specialty focus provides the group with a sustainable competitive advantage, particularly in terms of pricing, claims adjusting and loss control, resulting in high policyholder retention rates despite the competitive operating environment. Management has effectively broadened the group's product base through expansion into underserved markets as evidenced by growth within its Alternative Risk Transfer (ART) segment. Additionally, the group's financial flexibility is enhanced by its publicly traded immediate parent, NATL, which maintains modest financial leverage and strong interest coverage.
Partially offsetting these positive rating factors are the concentration of business within the passenger and truck transportation industries, the inherent risks associated with modest new business premium growth occurring within the group's ART business component, and to a lesser extent, the risks associated with the 2010 acquisition of Vanliner Group, Inc.
Positive rating actions could be taken on National Interstate's ratings if underwriting and operating results materially outperform other similarly rated commercial auto insurers while maintaining a strong level of risk-adjusted capitalization. Key factors that could trigger negative rating actions on National Interstate's ratings include the deterioration of risk-adjusted capitalization and/or operating results, particularly if the resulting performance trails that of similarly rated peers.

Three of seven defendants caught in a $500,000 fraud investigation at the Crow Tribe Historic Preservation Office changed their pleas to guilty Tuesday in separate hearings before a federal judge in Billings.
Larkin Troy Chandler, 46, and Mark James Denny, 33, both former CTHPO employees, pleaded guilty to counts of theft from an organization that receives federal funds. (The National Park Service provides grants for CTHPO operations.)
According to documents filed by Assistant U.S. Attorney Carl Rostad, the government will seek $44,546 in restitution from Chandler and $73,046 from Denny. Denny plans to challenge the government's calculations. The amount involved could affect sentencing.
The third defendant, Frederick Paul Deputee Jr., 25, pleaded guilty to a count of larceny. He was accused stealing $15,325 from GCM Services, a subcontractor hired by Westmoreland Resources to do archaeological work in advance of a planned expansion of its Absaloka coal mine at Sarpy Creek.
Deputee was not a CTHPO employee, but is the grandson of former CTHPO director Dale Old Horn, 67. Old Horn hired mostly family members to serve as archaeological technicians to monitor construction and other developments on the reservation. Their job was to ensure that areas of cultural or historic importance were protected.
Old Horn is awaiting trial on an indictment that charges him with bypassing tribal requirements that companies contracting with CTHPO pay the tribe for monitoring services. The indictment charges that instead, Old Horn began instructing companies to pay monitors directly. Monitors purportedly charged $400 a day. Those who were employed by CTHPO were also being paid by the tribe for the same hours, documents said.
Chandler told U.S. District Judge Richard Cebull that the tribe paid him $10 an hour for being in the office and $25 for work in the field.
The government contends that monitors were reimbursed for far more hours than they actually worked.
From July 2009 to November 2011, more than $500,000 in monitoring-service payments from companies doing business on the reservation were paid to CTHPO employees and two non-employees, including Deputee.
Deputee and Denny were among five monitors assigned to the Westmoreland project. A GCM representative told government investigators that the monitors often didn't show up, and that when they did, they worked only for one to three hours.
Denny said he did work the hours he was paid for by both the tribe and the companies he was monitoring, and that he was assigned to the Westmoreland project for only a week. Old Horn made out and submitted the invoices to the companies for him, he said.
Deputee admitted that he billed for hours he didn't work.
On their watch, a 2,000-year-old bison kill site was excavated near the proposed expansion of Westmoreland's strip mine. The excavation, which involved heavy equipment, destroyed the site, angering many on the reservation who claimed that tribal officials and elders were not informed and that the kill site should have been preserved.
Cebull set May 1 as sentencing date for all three defendants. Other counts charged against them in the indictment will be dismissed, including charges of conspiracy to defraud the Crow Tribe and corrupt diversion of tribal revenues.

Where are new grads being hired right now?
0Aug 23, '12 by vwgirl22I would like to get an idea of whats happening with new grads across the country. Where are new grads actually being hired? What are the stats on the new grad programs (how many apply for how many postions, etc.) Please share what you know about your state/region on the new grad outlook.
1Aug 23, '12 by vwgirl22I'll start. I live in Sacramento, California. I went to school in the San Diego area. The outlook in CA is bleek. Stanford medical center-600+ applicants for 15 spots. UC Davis 600-700 applicants for roughly 10 spots. With those odds..who knows. Its definitely hard here in California.PeacockMaiden likes this.
0Aug 23, '12 by perioddramaDown in SoCal, UCLA had almost 2000 last time and not a handful of spots. Same with USC almost 2000 applicants. The other smaller hospitals get several hundreds of applicants for less than 10 spots total for all departments.
Absolutely brutal from NoCal to SoCal. -
0Aug 24, '12 by Soccer_nurse26I am in TN and was able to get a job at my first choice hospital about a week after I graduated (I start orientation Monday). I know two other classmates were hired as well, although they were already employed as CNAs. I was not a CNA first and was still able to get a job, and another classmate of mine who was not a CNA has an interview at this same hospital. It is tight in TN but not nearly as bad as some areas.
0Aug 24, '12 by Bottomed out, BSN, RNTennessee, Arkansas and some parts of Texas. East and West Coast are rough.
0Aug 24, '12 by Fumanchuesday, ASN, RNi am in NW Louisiana and I got a job at my first choice hospital. I was also given the option of which floor and which shift. However, I went to nursing school in south Louisiana (New Orleans) where only 4 or 5 of my graduating classmates out of 27, have been able to secure jobs (we graduated at the end of June). I dont believe any of them had many options as far as what hospital or what floor. Down there it seems like you take what you can get.
0Aug 24, '12 by peanutsauceI graduated May of 2012 in Norcal. Of my cohort of 85, there are 12 of us with jobs so far. Three are out of state. Of the other 9, all are in acute-care hospitals, one in LTC... all over the state. CA in general is pretty bleak, and the SF Bay Area is worse than Socal.
0Aug 24, '12 by somedaypedsColumbus Ohio. No new grads. Everyone wants experience.
If you live in Columbus and know somewhere that is hiring new grads, pray tell. -
0Aug 24, '12 by eleectrosaurusQuote from peanutsauceNorcal, cohort of 25 graduates this may, 7 with jobs, locals are 3 acute-care, 1 ltc. 3 moving out of state, all to acute-care.I graduated May of 2012 in Norcal.

6 got jobs via a connection, 1 on his own. -
0Aug 24, '12 by ♪♫ in my ♥I spoke with the coordinator of the nurse residency program at UC Davis in Sacramento. She said that they received thousands of applications for their program last year and presently only have 10 seats in their upcoming program. She expected the program to close within a few hours of opening due to the deluge of applications and advised applicants check the website every day until it posts.
I've heard similar stories from other hospitals in the area. New grads are being hired but at a ratio of about 1:100 compared to applicants and graduates.

The Evanston Township High School Marching Band is off to see the wizard.
Coinciding with 75th anniversary of the film "The Wizard of Oz," football and band competition audiences will be wowed by a set list of 10 classic movie tunes.
While the 80-member Wildkit band – 26 of them new – follow the Yellow Brick Road, ETHS theater actors will portray Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Cowardly Lion, Dorothy and the Witch, and the color guard will play the Munchkins of Munchkinland.
"I really like the movie," said Dina Baron, 14, an ETHS freshman percussionist. "We all want to be Flying Monkeys but I don't think that's going to happen!"
But there's room for interpretation, said Matt Bufis, co-director of bands. Props, many in the dreaming stage, will be added.
"We're excited to be here, back from band camp in our first full week of rehearsals of the fall season," Bufis said.
Bufis, who shares directing duties with Michael Lehman, spent the third week of August fine-tuning the band after camp earlier this month at George Williams College of Aurora University in Williams Bay, Wis.
"We're really excited for the new school year, the startup of our marching season and the opportunity to bring the "Wizard of Oz" to our fans for our half-time show," Lehman said. "We have enjoyed a wonderful start to our season, and look forward to the next two months of football games, competitions and [Northwestern University] outreach events.
This year's drum majors are Angela Wong, 17, a senior and Zoe Ryan-Hubbard, 16, a junior.
"I'm really excited to do the Wizard of Oz," said Angela, who has been drum major for two years. "I feel like the Wizard of Oz was a part of almost everyone's childhood.
"I loved watching it as a kid and I still watch it as a teen now."
The program has five movements including the cyclone, coroner's song, Munchkinland, "Follow the Yellow Brick Road," "We're Off To See The Wizard," "If I Only Had A Brain," Miss Gulch (the Wicked Witch theme), flying monkeys, "Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead" and "Somewhere Over The Rainbow."
"I think this is one of our best shows yet," Zoe Ryan-Hubbard said, who chatted at rehearsal on ETHS Dodge Avenue.
"I think people actually 'get' the show," Zoe said, of the intergenerational storyline.
"I feel honored to lead such a great group," Angela Wong added.
The color guard is coached by Emily Long.
"I think it's going to be a lot of fun," Long said.
The only male color guard member is Ben Sanders, 15, a freshman.
"It's harder than I thought," Ben said, of the skill required to toss and catch a rifle, as well as twirling a flag. "I really like the Wizard of Oz. I'm really glad we're doing it this year. I'm a role model, maybe"
Ben has a costume different from his female peers.
"It's something I get attention about," he said, of his decision to be in color guard. "I wanted to get involved in an extra curricular activity and this one interested me."
His coach is proud.
"A lot of boys don't do it for fear of ridicule," Emily Long said. "It's a shame it doesn't get more support across the world, but it's getting better."
Catch the show
• The band will perform Friday, Sept. 5 at 7:30 p.m. at the ETHS Football Athletic Hall of Fame game.
• Band members will perform at the NU Band Day halftime at Ryan Field Sat. Sept. 6 and will attend the 6:30 p.m. Boosters Sherman Plaza Parking rooftop "Boosterpalooza."

Another upstate New York tourist town is looking into the idea of casino gambling.
Lake George Mayor Robert Blais has scheduled a public forum Tuesday evening to get a sense of where residents stand on casino gambling in Warren County.
Officials in Saratoga Springs and Essex County have already expressed an interest in a gambling casino.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo has outlined a plan to boost tourism and economic development by allowing as many as three resort gambling casinos in upstate New York. The proposal would be subject to a referendum.

Alternative Bargain Shopping
Drugstores have become a dime a dozen, growing so swiftly in numbers they're often within walking distance of one another, and the increased competition combined with the current economic climate has spurred many a makeover. Some Duane Reades, for instance, feature sushi stations and smoothie bars, in addition to large makeup displays and, oh right, the pharmacy.
"Drugstores today are the 7-Eleven of yesteryear," says Christine Frietchen, editor-in-chief of ConsumerSearch.com. "They're designed so you can find anything you might need quickly."
They're also a great place to find some discounts you may have otherwise overlooked, so MainStreet spoke to saving experts to find out the best ways to get deals at your local drugstore.

At the screening of Spring Breakers that I attended, I counted eight viewers who walked out of the movie, and stayed out, well before the end credits rolled. In all honesty, I'm amazed the tally wasn't higher than that. The movie being touted in print and in trailers promises a rowdy, randy romp in the sun with built-in audience-grabbers: Disney princesses acting nasty! James Franco with cornrows and grillz! But the movie that writer/director Harmony Korine has actually made – despite, indeed, its also being a rowdy, randy romp in the sun – bears so little relation to its cheeky, borderline-innocuous advertising campaign that patrons can be easily forgiven for feeling badly misled and deciding to bolt. It would be like going to see Dumbo and instead getting Gus Van Sant's Elephant.

It's entirely possible that you'll need to have seen an awful lot of horror movies – particularly an awful lot of awful horror movies – to be jazzed by Silent House, considering that it's basically just 90 minutes of a young woman being terrorized by barely glimpsed figures and startling noises in her family's lakeside summer home. (Contrary to the title, this house is anything but silent.) Yet if you can get past the paper-thin storyline and a climax that's less "Aa-a-a!!!" than "Hu-u-uh?!?", the movie proves to be a terrifically nerve-racking and utterly fascinating scare flick, because from first shot to last, the action not only takes place in real time, but seems to have been filmed in one continuous take.

Early in director Steve Pink's new comedy, miserable fortysomethings Adam (John Cusack), Nick (Craig Robinson), and Lou (Rob Corddry) decide to cheer themselves up with a weekend retreat to the beloved ski lodge of their youth, taking Adam's similarly downbeat nephew Jacob (Clark Duke) along for the trek. In the 24 years since the friends' last visit, the lodge has turned into a weathered dump. But their old room still has a jacuzzi, and after a debaucherous night of liquor, cocaine, and bubbling hot water, the four men awaken, and gradually discover that they've been magically transported to 1986. Gazing at the agent of this disruption with the space/time continuum, Nick says, "It's like some kind of ... hot tub time machine." And then, with the slowest of head movements and the deadest of deadpans, Nick turns and stares down the camera, as if to say, "Are you freaking kidding with this?"

The summer months are usually our watest months of the year. That grows all the lush grass the plains are famous for. But, this year, the grass looks like it does in the dead of winter. Virtually no green in sight. In the first picture, you can see even the cactus are having a tough time making a go of it this year. |
Follow-Up Postings:
The weather extremes lately have been dramatic. The drought and hot temps. The tornado outbreaks with very powerful storms. The major snows on the east coast. It does raise an eyebrow. We had our wettest spring ever. |
We had nothing come up on our ranch. The creek is dried up and the water tank is down 75%. |
Yeah, the state water board is listing our big lake here at "zero" percent of reserves. The only other lake used as a drinking water source is at 22 percent. We've had 1.4" precip in over 8 months. |

That's too bad, hope things are turning around soon, we're heaving good moisture again for the second year after around 15 year drought. Thanks for showing these cool dry shots. |
Wow, 15 years of dry. That's bad. Glad you are getting some moisture. Hope we don't have to go that long. |
It was so weird to go to the ranch in Texas and see all the dryness, then to drive back to Tucson and it has rained 6 days in a row, 4 more in the forecast. |
Location, location, location I suppose joe. I've noticed on radar that the high that is over us is letting the summer monsoon moisture roll over the areas just a little more to the west. Everyone needs it so I'm glad someone is getting some. Normally this is our wettest time of year. |
So strange. Northern Midwest has plenty of water, south none. |
Location, location, location, Joan! As I understand it the jet stream steered all the moisture and storm systems north during the winter and spring, and now we have a big high pressure system over us that just steers them in a big circle around us. The things that are making us dry are making others wet. I'm sure the folks flooding in the mid-west and along the Mississippi earlier this year would've been happy to share some of their water with us! I remember a few years ago when the Southeast was baking and dry, we were wet here, for us, because all the moisture got pushed over our way. I'm definitely ready for something to move or change. The famous Dust Bowl in the 30s was centered in this region. For calender year 2011 we are four times drier than any year during the Dust Bowl. Of course, drought length adds to severity too, but, we be dry. |
