Artist of War--Chuck CaldwellToday's independent filmmakers never know when their next great film idea will emerge, which is one of the reasons Cirina Catania, of The Catania Group, never leaves home without her basic capture/workflow tools in an on-board Explorer case. On a flight to visit her mother in Pennsylvania, her case included a Blackmagic Pocket camera, Sony A7r, batteries, a small Lumos light, extra SD cards, a Thunderbolt 2 dock, a 4TB OWC ThunderBay 4 mini and a 1TB OWC Envoy Pro EX. She also hand-carried her MacBook Pro and a small tripod. Because of weight and space limitations, tools like extra lenses and other "nice to have" equipment were left behind. Read More

Along the way, the duo encounters several twists and turns that mirror common production challenges filmmakers face today. Produced by Wonder Lab Films and directed by Michael Anton, the parody is presented in a mockumentary format rife with old-school humor.

Defining The Art of Shaving with Blackmagic DesignFor many men, shaving their facial hair is a necessary evil. If they are not careful, they risk nicks, cuts and irritation, and the process is tedious and sometimes downright uncomfortable. Although shaving can be a chore, it's a must for many, unless they want to look like a member of the Duck Dynasty family. One of the questions that employees receive most often is "What's the difference between a traditional and royal shave?" To help answer this question and help customers better understand its services, Director Christopher Califano recently shot a video that brought the shaving experience to life using the Blackmagic Cinema Camera EF, Pocket Cinema Camera and DaVinci Resolve color corrector.

Metering, as in automatic exposure. Hasn't got a thing to do with focus (But according to my information theres no "gaps", as you're not forced to select only those four points, it can be focused inbetween them)

Thanks! I'll be adding some shots to my blog. I need to take some time to scan them reasonably well (the lab won't scan 6x12 for me.) I will also put up some shots with the Russian lenses when they arrive.
My other camera is a Pentax
Just remembered this thread! Here are the results I posted from my Belair.
I also got email notification that the Russian lenses are slightly delayed. Lomography expects to deliver them in April.
Just got mine today, haven't even loaded a roll yet, but had a couple of questions for you guys.
I can see how the spools would allow the roll to run loose in back, read something about putting some tension on the film spool so it hold a bit tighter. Wondering if you had to/should do that to both the film spool and take-up spools? And any recommendations on how? Seems like it would be easy enough to just wedge a bit of card-stock in.
I did manage to get on the tail-end of an e-bay auction for the Russian glass lenses, and won the 114mm lens. It's coming over the pond from EU, so it will probably be a while till I see it. I'll run a roll of color through the stock 90mm lens, and another when I get the glass 114mm, and post samples.
BTW, first post here. Found APUG when I was looking for info on the Belair.
Forgot one thing. Also read about the shiny black plastic on the 6x6 and 6x9 masks causing reflections/bleed on pictures. Since I'm in a modding mood, I'm soliciting opinion on "roughing up" the fronts of the masks, give it a once over with some sandpaper and see if I can make it more of a matte finish.

Marina probe into collision starts today in Cebu City
More News from Doris Bongcac, Jhunnex Napallacan
A Special Board of Marine Inquiry (SBMI) will start its investigation today into the collision of two vessels that resulted in the sinking of MV St Thomas Aquinas which left at least 75 people dead and 45 missing.
The two captains – Rolito Gilo of Sulpicio Express Siete and Reynan Bermejo of St. Thomas Aquinas- have been summoned to appear before the board at 9 a.m. in Cebu City.
Both skippers are expected to come with lawyers provided by their companies, said Cebu Coast Guard Station Commander Weniel Azcuna.
The ship captain and chief mate of MV Trans Asia 9 were also summoned to appear because Gilo, in his marine protest, mentioned that the Trans Asia vessel had contacted him through VHF radio and requested to overtake the Sulpicio Express Siete on its starboard (right) side.
Trans-Asia may be asked why their crew were unable to help in the rescue effort after the collision.
Key issues for the inquiry will focus on how the two oncoming vessels failed to avoid each other in a narrow channel of Lawis Ledge, where shallow portions require ships to steer carefully and observe protocols about transport lanes and collision avoidance.
"These things will be clarified during the hearing," Azcuna said.
The death toll in the sea accident stood at 75 with 45 missing persons.
Three additional bodies were recovered yesterday as technical divers continue to penetrate the vessel to look for more trapped passengers and plug bunker oil leaks in the vessel's tanks.
The upper torso of a woman was fond floating off the coast of barangay Bangbang in Cordova town.
Azcuna said the hearings will be conducted in Cebu because the Aug. 16 accident happened here and so it's easier for the people involved and the witnesses to appear.
Eventually, he said, the SBMI will also summon the other crew members of the two vessels, some survivors and other witnesses including the fishermen and people who first responded to the accident in Lawis Ledge off Talisay City.
"The result of the board investigation is a basis for a filing of charges of both administrative and criminal charges", Azcuna said.
The SBMI is headed by Commodore Gilbert Rueras, commander of the Coast Guard's Maritime Safety Services based in Manila.
Rueras and other members of the board arrived at 5:30 p.m. yesterday.
The hearing starts at 9 a.m. at the Coast Guard District Central Visayas Headquarter in Pier 3, Cebu City.
Azcuna said the board is composed of officials and legal officers from Philippine Coast Guard and Maritime Industry Authority (Marina) plus some master mariners.
The Cebu Coast Guard only served the summons but is not part of the SBMI.
He said the Cebu Coast Guard is tasked to focus on the search, rescue and retrieval operations as well as the effort to contain the oil spill.
"The board is tasked to conduct a formal investigation regarding of what transpired and what was the cause of the accident", Azcuna said.
2GO Shipping Lines and Philippine Span Asia Carries Corp. both assured that their captains are in their custody and will appear for the investigation.
The skippers are also being monitored by the Coast Guard, said Azcuna.
"The companies will be liable for obstruction of justice if they do not produce the ship captains during the investigation," he said.
Grant Go, Span Asia Carrier Corp. vice president, said the captain of Sulpicio Siete Express was "just staying on the ship" as instructed. The damaged vessel is docked in Pier 7.
Go said his company, the former Sulpicio Lines, is doing its own internal investigation of the mishap.
Lito Salvio, 2Go assistant vice president, said their captain is also under custody, but when pressed for details, replied that it was "confidential."
"Rest assured that we are cooperating with Coast Guard. We are also doing our own investigation. We will have to finish our investigation before the company decides what to do with the ship captain," he said at a press conference.

ndian-Americans may have the highest per capita income among all the major ethnic groups in the US, but more than eight per cent of the nearly three million community are living below the poverty line, according to a latest census report.
The 2007-2011 American Community Survey has said that 42.7 million people in the US had incomes below the poverty level.
The national poverty rate is 14.7 per cent. With 8.2 per cent below the poverty rate, Indian-Americans are far less poor than other ethnic groups and the national average, the Census Bureau report said.
Japanese-Americans too have a 8.2 per cent poverty rate. For Asians, poverty rates were higher for Vietnamese (14.7 per cent) and Koreans (15.0 per cent); Filipinos have the lowest poverty rate of 5.8 per cent.
Poverty rates for Vietnamese and Koreans were not statistically different from each other.
According to the report, for Asians, nine US states had poverty rates below 10 per cent (Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Maryland, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Virginia and South Carolina).
Among Hispanics, the national poverty rates ranged from a low of 16.2 per cent for Cubans to a high of 26.3 per cent for Dominicans.
In its report the Census Bureau said two racial groups had poverty rates more than 10 percentage points higher than the national rate of 14.3 per cent: American Indian and Alaska Native (27.0 per cent) and black or African-American (25.8 per cent).
Rates were above the overall national average for Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders (17.6 per cent), while poverty rates for people identified as white (11.6 per cent) or Asian (11.7 per cent) were lower than the overall poverty rate.
Poverty rates for whites and Asians were not statistically different from each other.
The Hispanic population had a poverty rate of 23.2 per cent, about nine percentage points higher than the overall US rate.
The US Government's definition of poverty is based on income. For example, the poverty level for 2012 was set at an annual income of $23,050 (nearly Rs 12 lakhs) for a family of four.

She spoke softly, calmly recounting
her pain through a furnace of litanies
that helped her hold on to the unbelief
She spoke softly, calmly recounting
her pain through a furnace of litanies
that helped her hold on to the unbelief
that the boy who hanged himself
in her basement was the same boy
silent in the glossy photograph
that she displayed in her hands,
whose memory snarled like
a wild dog at her ankle.
"A murderer," he'd called himself,
remembering the two kneeling Iraqi
captives whose last sight was his AR-14.
"Joe had just wanted something to do,"
whispered the lady with the photo.
So, through the smoke that melted away
from extinguished Iraqi cities, Joe drove his truck.
Joe buried corpses. Joe obeyed orders.
He once stopped at an intersection where he
saw a child torn apart and tossed in bloody indignity.
Her lifeless hands clutched an American flag.
On that memorable day, he shot them.
Unarmed. Bound.
The fear in Iraqi eyes branded a horror
that beckoned his liquor, fueled his despair,
and stretched Mrs. Logan's garden hose.
In the photograph
there is a young girl's blood-stained flag
furled atop the chest of
the young Marine.

Henry George Walker, 1876-1932, was born in the Birchfield district of Birmingham, England, and attended Birmingham Municipal School of Art between 1897 and 1901. He owned his own design studio in 1907 and was successful as an etcher and produced many polychrome and monochrome etchings in the early 1920s until the etching fad receded during the Depression. In the late 1920s, he began to concentrate on pen and ink. This particular etching of Loch Lomond is in excellent condition and has all the original information on the back. The image is 11" by 8" range, a typical range for his work. This one is features town, lake and mountains in the background, a small figure of a shepherd in the foreground with his sheep alongside. Also on the back a typed label says this is a strictly limited edition of artist's signed proofs in color and an original etching. It also says that Henry G. Walker is a member of the faculty of the Arts. The framed size is 19 x 14.5". The back of the frame is enclosed in board. Plate marks are apparent under the glass. Signature is in pencil.

Opinions or crits? Artist website...
How's it going? I ended up with a 3 day weekend and no travel plans. Not really knowing what to do with myself with such a wide stretch of time, I decided to work more. So in three days, I decided to sketch, scan, design, code, and format new content for a complete website redesign. The site is for the photo/video work that I create, and a bit of a promotional tool as an artist. Curious to hear any feedback you might have, be it on the design, layout, etc. It can still be a work in progress. Thanks!
|Apr 2, 2013, 11:11 PM
The design sure is original, and nice photos btw in terms of your work.
Some things worth consideration to change:
Make more prominent the link to view the gallery - either move it top the top or make it a menu item, add some CSS to change pointer to arrow so folks know its a valid link.
Why hide the contact form in the about page? At least make it a menu item so people can more easily contact you from within the web site. In the contact form add in a few options for subject such as "Site Feedback" or "Consult" or something to encourage clients to contact you.
Use the title attribute in links and the alt attribute in src tags for images - not just for accessibility but to add brief comments explaining what that link does.
The right well with the Facebook widget --- too big, use at least 1/3 of that space with a random thumbnail sampling of your gallery pics (say 12 pics, 3 rows of 4 across, small images), with the link "View Complete Gallery" or similar below that. Each thumb links to its parent full sized pic or gallery. Put all this on the top of the well, Facebook stuff underneath.
Nice job.

The visuals are engaging but I think you've got too many hard edges and boxes that halt visual movement across the layout. It's strange that the hand sketch theme in the top right corner abruptly ends and the mechanical boxes motif takes over from there. I'd also like to see more variety of type, much of the text is nearly the same size and face. Although establishing a good grid is paramount, it gets to be boring if all elements fall strictly inside that grid, which is what I see here. Moving forward, I would say push the hand sketch theme further as it differentiates your site from all the others in our WordPress world. Also, don't be so strict about the yellow and black theme. The trick is to get the interface to recede and be easy to use, simply framing your content and letting the content be the star of the show.

Like it.
Congrats to getting on PDN.
The gray background of "project" etc menus looks like bad compression artifact.
Minor technical issue: some or all large images don't have height and width tags.

Thanks for the comments! After finishing up another project, I'm now returning back to the coding to do some housecleaning on it, and using suggestions made from you guys.

A bit disjointed... doesn't have a unifying theme... just 5 boxes floating in space. Where does my eye go?? Doesn't show off your talent as an artist. Consider adding tyour own designs to tie it all together. Do you really want Facebook to have such a prominent position on the main page? Ew. I like the gallery pages. great way to present your work, which is excellent in my opinion.

Enron (ENE) is no longer an Internet company.
Now that dot-com valuations have gone the way of full-service gas stations, Enron is finally owning up to reality regarding the broadband business. "It's like someone turned off the light switch," Enron President and CEO Jeffrey Skilling told investors Thursday morning while announcing an otherwise solid quarter. "Revenue opportunities have just dried up."
Indeed, Enron recorded a $109 million loss related to its broadband businesses, compared with income before interest, minority interest and taxes of $17 million in the year-earlier period. Skilling noted that Enron would dramatically scale back the burn rate for its broadband business and that the expectations for resuming progress in this market have been pushed back by at least a year.The story was so different a year and a half ago. With Enron's shares trading in the low 50s, Enron convinced analysts -- who openly admitted their ignorance of the telecommunications issues important to the broadband market -- that bandwidth delivery opportunities were huge. Enron cajoled the stock price into the $90s by August, after telling analysts that the broadband business alone was worth $37 per share, or $27 billion. Today, despite sound performance in its key, wholesale energy-distribution business, Enron's shares are worth $49.55. Even Wall Street, convinced perhaps that the prospects for an IPO of the once-hot Internet operations are totally dead, has gone back to analyzing energy prospects. Ronald Barone, a "natural gas/energy convergence" analyst with UBS Warburg in New York, lowered his price target Thursday on Enron from $102 to $70. In a report, he noted that his earlier projected price applied a multiple of 40 to his previous 2002 earnings target of $2.10 per share and $17 worth of value for broadband services. Now Barone assumes 32 to 33 times estimated 2002 per-share earnings of $2.15 (the same EPS estimate CEO Skilling offered on Thursday's conference call) and zero value for broadband. Enron must be one of the most promotional companies on the planet. If investors played the old Bob Newhart drinking game and had to refill their mugs every time Skilling said "outstanding" in relation to second-quarter performance, they would have been drunk before the question-and-answer session. But Skilling doesn't like the new reality. "Everything has been taken out of our stock for the bandwidth business," he correctly observed. "We are probably getting a negative impact on the stock, and I don't think that's right." Interestingly, as recently as January, management at Enron suggested to Wall Street that its discounted cash-flow models suggested a value of $126 for the stock, including $40 a share for the broadband business. Why companies feel it's proper even to comment on their own stock prices is a wonder. Skilling had nothing to say about the $126 valuation, and analysts didn't query him about it. Oh, it's right all right. No longer the bright shining prospect, broadband is a real drag on the company now, albeit a small one. Robert Franson, an analyst with Bear Stearns in New York, notes that the old IPO rumor has been replaced by one suggesting Enron will sell or lease its broadband network while maintaining the services businesses built around it. "One great thing about Enron is that it is constantly getting out of businesses that aren't right," he says. Bear Stearns had the luxury of initiating coverage on Enron only in December, so it was able to sidestep the trap of perceived value to the broadband business. Donato Eassey of Merrill Lynch is hanging on to hope. "We believe Enron at current prices offers investors a free call option on the future of broadband, and the ultimate turnaround in the telecom market once it occurs," he told clients in a report. Eassey has a price target of $74.50 on Enron's shares. For what it's worth, in April 2000 Enron traded for about 43 times Wall Street's 2001 earnings estimates of about $1.65 per share. Now the company predicts 2001 EPS of $1.80 (showing the success of its main wholesale business), and is valued at about 23 times its own 2002 earnings estimates. It's worth noting that Enron is a good example of a company that has taken advantage of the Internet. Skilling said 60% of the company's transactions occurred on the Internet in the second quarter. That's impressive, but no more so than all the business Dell or Cisco does online. Efficient use of Internet infrastructure does not an Internet company make. Interestly, Enron is in much better shape than the upstart companies to which it eagerly compared itself 18 months ago in justifying a higher valuation. By giving up all of the hype-driven market value it received from gullible investors with dot-com stardust in their eyes, Enron merely is back to about where it belongs, or, as Skilling argues, perhaps a little lower. Comparable stand-alone "bandwidth" companies like Akamai (AKAM) and Exodus (EXDS) have given up most of their boom-time value. Enron prudently says it will maintain a stake in the ground of broadband services so it can benefit when the market materializes. Perhaps when that happens, Wall Street will value the incremental business for what it's worth, not what they dream it's worth.

Currently, Ms. Ripley is writing lyrics alongside composer Michael Roth for a work titled Landscape the Tar Roof Tree, a performance piece for eight singer/actors.
When Ripley was once asked during an "Ask the Actor" interview by users on Broadway.com how important it is to stay in school, Ripley e-replied, "College is important for a young actor because it is a chance to grow fast in a concentrated time period and learn about the world around you in a relatively isolated environment. In the end, that knowledge mixed with a double shot of courage is what will make you an interesting actor."

This is an eTextbook Learn More
Late one night in 1823 Joseph Smith, Jr., was reportedly visited in his family's farmhouse in upstate New York by an angel named Moroni. According to Smith, Moroni told him of a buried stack of gold plates that were inscribed with a history of the Americas' ancient peoples, and which would restore the pure Gospel message as Jesus had delivered it to them. Thus began the unlikely career of the Book of Mormon, the founding text of the Mormon religion, and perhaps the most important sacred text ever to originate in the United States. Here Paul Gutjahr traces the life of this book as it has formed and fractured different strains of Mormonism and transformed religious expression around the world.
Gutjahr looks at how the Book of Mormon emerged from the burned-over district of upstate New York, where revivalist preachers, missionaries, and spiritual entrepreneurs of every stripe vied for the loyalty of settlers desperate to scratch a living from the land. He examines how a book that has long been the subject of ridicule--Mark Twain called it "chloroform in print"--has more than 150 million copies in print in more than a hundred languages worldwide. Gutjahr shows how Smith's influential book launched one of the fastest growing new religions on the planet, and has featured in everything from comic books and action figures to feature-length films and an award-winning Broadway musical.

85 arrested in 48-hour islandwide anti-drug operation
Published on Aug 2, 2012 12:52 PM
The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) arrested 85 suspected drug offenders in a 48-hour islandwide operation on Monday and Tuesday.
Of these, 78 were arrested for suspected drug abuse and 7 were arrested for involvement in drug trafficking.
In one case, CNB officers arrested a 56-year-old woman at a coffee shop in Aljunied. Eleven straws of heroin were recovered from her handbag. Two men, aged 43 and 44, believed to be her clients, were also arrested in the vicinity. If convicted of trafficking a controlled drug, she faces a minimum of five years' imprisonment. The drug abusers will be investigated for drug consumption.
In another case, a 24-year-old woman was arrested in a Housing Board flat in Ang Mo Kio, where officers seized three straws of heroin, two packets of methamphetamine (ice) and drug trafficking paraphernalia, including a weighing scales and empty straws.

I heard from graphic designer Sarah Roberto from Oh So Good in Toronto this morning concerning her pretty new paper collection and I knew I'd be blogging it… Her flora notebook is my favorite, shown directly below in the first image…
I like that she is recycling vintage paper (including wallpaper) and using it for greeting cards, gift tags and notebooks, a growing trend and a very good one! And of course, her product shots and styling really show off her collection perfectly. It's so important, and I've said it a billion times, to photograph your wares the best that you can for your store. A good product shot goes a long, long way!
Thank you so much for writing to me, Sarah!

After Leslie's Color Me Pretty post yesterday, I've received many questions about how one can find and order Japanese stationery and rubber stamps online. I know there are some great Japanese shops I've referenced here in the past, but that was awhile ago so I think I'll round up just a few of my favorite stores today, some I've shopped and had a perfect transaction every time.
Ginko Papers — Lovely owners, they've sourced Japan and pulled together a curated selection in their online shop. I ordered masking tape from them and some other paper products and the transaction and products were lovely!
Super Buzzy – Japanese fabric and papers. Weeee!
Fabric Tales – Fabrics and more.
This and That from Japan – Great source for everything crafty!
Karaku – This has long been my secret source but I've decided to share… I've been a total shopaholic from this store in the past. Great things. I have rubber stamps, fabric stamp pads, cotton tape, fabrics and more from this seller and have ordered way too many times to confess the exact number. But I heart Karaku. :)
3point5dollars – Another secret source of mine. Shhhh.
Do you have any sources to supply with sites in English? Please share your links if you'd like, we'd all really appreciate it! :)

Move over Martha, Jamie, Rachel and Donna… did you get the memo? Amy Butler is going for world domination (yay!) alongside the best of 'em and she's going BIG, baby! Fabric, bags, giftwrap, tableware, sewing kits, scrapbooking supplies, bedding, card kits, software, patterns, books, rugs, stationery and now office products. I've died and gone to heaven with these… Here are a few glimpses to make you reconsider your office space and how much better it would look with a little dash of Amy where you work!
This collection will be available via Mara-Mi and will include coordinating desktop and office items like folders, organizers, binders and more. The entire collection will be available soon in Amy's web store as well. Stay tuned!

That about sums it up.
The good folks at Marvel and ABC shared some promotional photos of Hayley from Agents of Shield and various lore related scenes. She's quite the busty boss. I really can't imagine anything hotter. Well, there is that riding crop thing, but this is the predecessor to all of those naughty thoughts. Enjoy.

I have been working on genealogy since approx. 1994 -- after my Mother passed away, in going through her stuff, I found the names of my fathers parents (we had never known any of my fathers family). I wondered if I would be able to find them and I was successfull in finding my fathers only living sibling. I live in Des Moines, Iowa, and she lived in Oregon -- I flew out the following Thanksgiving to get acquainted with her and couldn't have been happier. This gave me the "genealogy bug" and I have been searching ever since -- have found WONDERFUL relatives who I never knew existed. Genealogy if great!!
The names I search are CLAYTON, McNEELEY, ARROWOOD, MYERS, SPENCER,just to name a few.

Hi Nancy,
I recently made a trip to Greenwood Cemetery in an attempt to fulfill a few photo requests. In doing so, I actually ended up creating a spreadsheet that includes all the information on Find A Grave, combined with the USGen web file, and the records I found while I was there. I have sent you several update requests. My apologies for the flux of those. Thanks for all you do.

James Riley Clayto
If Levi is your grandfather and Dora is my grandmother, then we are 2nd cousins. James Riley Clayton is buried in Mary's Chapel Cemetery in Clay County, north of Rector. He was married to a Irene Morris born approx. 1851 and died 1885 in Illinois. J.R. moved to the Leonard, Arkansas area in approx. 1895 along with the Davis family. I have a picture of James Riley's tombstone which I took a couple of years ago, before my Find A Grave involvement. I'll find it and post it to the memorial. I have more information that I will send you via email, including some newspaper articles on the settling of Leonard. One interesting note, Robert E. Davis was also married to Nora, Dora's sister, but she was killed in an accident in Illinois and buried there. Were you ever in Rector? That's

Thanks for the transfer
Thanks for the transfer Nancy. Are we related? My grandmother on my mom's side was a Clayton. Maybe that's why you created the memorial? I also noted a message on your profile about a Laura Foster Clayton. I had an aunt Laura Clayton, she was a Foster and she was married to my Great Uncle, Lee, brother to my grandmother. She lived in Leonard, AR which is close to my home town of Rector, AR. Interesting.

It's Official.
November 1999 should be a month long-remembered by the financial-services industry. The governor signed legislation to keep insurers and banks domiciled in Indiana, and the president signed long-awaited legislation to allow common ownership of banks, insurers and securities firms.
Nationally, the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act repeals the Depression era Glass-Steagall Act and amends other statutes, clearing the way for a more dynamic financial-services sector. In reality, the walls between banking, insurance and securities firms were like Swiss cheese. New holes appeared with dozens of court decisions, state law changes and with deregulation efforts during the Reagan era. But the reforms are now official.
Under the new law--known as the Financial Services Modernization Act--banks, securities firms and insurance companies can now affiliate within a financial holding company structure, or FHC. The Federal Reserve Board runs the approval process for FHCs and has some umbrella responsibilities, but existing state and federal regulatory bodies--such as the Securities and Exchange Commission, Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury Department and state insurance and banking departments--retain their "functional" regulatory powers. "Functional" is an important word in the new order. Insurance regulators, for example, will regulate insurance issues regardless of the new structure.
The Fed's interim rules, issued in January, outline procedures by which bank holding companies and foreign banks elect to become FHCs. Immediate applications were permitted so that the Fed could approve FHC status on March 13, 2000, the first business day after the effective date of the act. The rules require a bank holding company's depository institutions to be well-capitalized, well-managed and have at least a "satisfactory" rating under the Community Reinvestment Act.
Solvency safeguards are retained preventing the mix of assets among banks, insurance and brokerage businesses. In addition, non-financial companies are now prohibited from owning commercial banks.
"The largest banks in the country will benefit," according to Brad Kime, executive vice president at Irwin Union Bank in Columbus. Kime says Irwin, a state-chartered bank since 1871 with $1.3 billion in assets, has no current plans to purchase insurance or brokerage firms. But, he adds, "We've been able to sell insurance products since the 1930s and brokerage services since the 1980s," acting as an agent and sales arm. The new federal legislation will "spur large cross-industry mergers," Kime predicts.
The highly publicized CitiCorpTravelers merger in 1998 is an example. It was saddled with a five-year window in which to work out its legal and regulatory bugs. But it should have smooth sailing with the passage of the Financial Services Modernization Act.
Bankers worked for two decades to repeal Glass-Steagall. The American Bankers Association touts the benefits of the new law as increased consumer access to services through one-stop shopping and lower costs through economies of scale, greater competition and eliminating agent middlemen.
But the addition of consumer-protection provisions, including full disclosure of fees and safeguarding customer privacy, became part of the price of passage.
Privacy is a hot issue, from grocery store discount cards that track your every cookie purchase to cookies on your hard drive that track your every Web move. Consumers won new privacy protections in the financial reform act. "There are firewalls to protect certain transactions," says Bill King, president of the Indiana Bankers Association. Although he says that most banks didn't sell in formation, some highly publicize cases triggered the new restrictions.
Chase Manhattan Corp. signed a settlement agreement with New York's attorney general to halt its practice of selling credit card limit and balance information to outside marketers. Under the agreement, Chase customers will have to "opt-out" to indicate they don't want their information shared. A similar "opt-out" provision is included in the new federal law for all financial institutions, with a few exceptions. Kin explains the necessity of releasing some information, such as providing account numbers to outside check printers, in order to serve customers.
Privacy concerns and the many other issues financial-services changes are raising have created new business for law firms. For example Indianapolis-based Baker & Daniels has formed a 19-member insurance team to meet projected client needs under the new law.
"Privacy is on the top of everyone's list right now," says Scott Kosnoff, co-chair of the team along with Charlie Richardson in Baker & Daniels' Washington office. The big reason that banks and insurers wanted to affiliate was to get access to each others' client base. Under the new law, "affiliates have a disclosure requirement but don't have to give the opt-out" choice, says Kosnoff. He says that the privacy battle will now shift to the states, where consumer groups are likely to push for even greater protections.
Larry Forrester, president of the Indianapolis-based National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies (NAMIC), says his organization supported the final financial-services bill. But the price of its support included a clear definition of insurance products, a swift dispute-resolution process between banks and insurance regulators, and redomestication provisions for companies wanting to demutualize.
Insurance companies are regulated by the states, unlike banks, which have dual state and federal regulatory agencies. NAMIC, representing its 1,300 members, was successful in including a provision to give state regulators the same clout as federal regulators in jurisdictional disputes on banking and insurance matters.
Insurance companies historically have fought hard to retain state jurisdiction over the industry, but NAMIC sought an exception and won. Mutual insurance companies can now easily redomesticate (move to another state) if their home state does not recognize mutual holding companies. Forrester says some state regulators opposed the provision, reasoning that companies would now shop around for the best regulatory climate.
"Banks have been selling insurance for many years," says Roger Ronk, executive vice president of the Independent Insurance Agents of Indiana. "It's not a big issue."
But he questions the notion that consumers will want one-stop shopping for all their financial services. "Customers will go to the person who offers the better service," says Ronk. "Our guys are independent business people who are service-oriented and competitive." Ronk also notes the new federal law's prohibition against financial superstores luring customers with offers of better interest rates if they also buy their insurance there.
State Farm, Farm Bureau, Nordstrom and some other nonbanks are winners under the new regulations. Wal-Mart is a loser. Before the legislation was passed, a number of non-banking companies such as Nordstrom and Wal-Mart had made plans to obtain their own thrift charters under an obscure "unitary thrift" provision. But the dike is now plugged, and bankers are breathing easier. Any application that had not been approved or was not in the pipeline as of May 4, 1999, is now dead. Unfortunately for Wal-Mart, it missed the deadline by a month. Of course, Wal-Mart can still partner with a bank to provide in-store customer services, but it's prohibited from owning a thrift.
Meanwhile, the new law opened the door for certain kinds of financial-services firms, including insurance companies, to enter the banking business. One such entry involves Forrester's insurance association, NAMIC.
NAMIC last month was awarded a charter to operate Assurance Partners Bank in Carmel. The bank, due to open this spring, will offer financial products including consumer loans through NAMIC member companies and their agents. As a startup, it will begin operations with $12.5 million raised from 250 of its members.
"Our objective is to provide an array of banking services, primarily lending, such as auto, personal, home equity, residential mortgage and small-business loans," says David Fronek, the bank's president and CEO. The bank, he says, also will offer a limited menu of deposit accounts, including certificates of deposit and money-market accounts.
But in many ways it won't resemble a typical bank, he stresses. "We will be open to the public, but it's really not going to be a bricks-and-mortar type of bank," he says. Don't look for a lobby, ATM or row of teller windows. For most customers the initial contact will come through an insurance company or agent, and much of the business will be transacted through the mail or over the phone.
Meanwhile, the Federal Home Loan Bank of Indianapolis is reacting to marketplace changes by expanding its roles beyond mortgages to benefit Indiana small businesses and farmers. "Many small banks are finding loan demand is exceeding deposit growth," says Tom Williams, vice president of government affairs. With baby boomers choosing mutual funds over savings accounts, "banks have decided not to chase depositors," Williams says. Instead, small banks are relying on borrowed money to finance their loans. And community banks with assets of less than $500 million may now borrow from the Federal Home Loan Bank to finance a variety of business customer needs.
How are changes in financial service affecting those in the securities business? Mike Bosway, president and CEO of City Securities in Indianapolis, says he won't be doing things any differently. "Well before the repeal of Glass-Steagall, there was a breaking down of barriers between the sectors," he says. "That would have continued to happen. The market demanded it." Bosway points to KeyBank's purchase of McDonald Securities, which took place prior to passage of the new law. And the former Raffensperger Hughes & Co. of Indianapolis has been a part of National City Corp. for much of the past decade.
Also, Merrill Lynch has already offered some of the most competitive banking services, from CDs and money markets to checking and mortgages. "But the repeal of GlassSteagall will enable us to do this more efficiently and will give us the flexibility to offer an even wider array of products and services," says Michael Welsh, resident vice president in Indianapolis.
Indiana Bankers Association's Bill King hopes bank customers will eventually want to shop for securities "at a convenient location where they're already transacting business." But he's realistic. "Consumers can e-trade from home for $8--it's hard to get more convenient than that."
Changes in state financial-services laws were finalized in a special General Assembly session last November. The General Assembly saved the day--or thought it did--by allowing the creation of mutual insurance holding companies. Despite the efforts, a long-planned merger of AUL and Indianapolis Life fell apart when Indianapolis Life decided to demutualize and be acquired by Iowa's American Mutual Holding Co., which is also demutualizing. American United Life will be "reviewing all its plans from last year," according to Jim Freeman, the company's vice president of corporate affairs. "In the first quarter, we'll finalize our future plans."
All of this activity is new for the Indiana Department of Insurance. Commissioner Sally McCarty says her department, charged with overseeing the complicated conversions from mutual companies into stock companies, will seek experienced consultants with no ties to the companies being regulated. This likely will mean hiring out-of-state experts.
"The process could take up to a year," says McCarty, "but we're hoping for eight to nine months."
The General Assembly did hit a home run in November with changes in the financial tax laws. Such banks as 1st Source in South Bend and Terre Haute First Financial won't have to move their charters to other states to avoid double taxation.
The bank tax problem occurred after passage of interstate banking deregulation laws. If an Indiana bank acquired a bank in Illinois, for example, and converted its locations into branches of the Indiana bank, it would be subject to Indiana and Illinois financial institution taxes. Such Indiana bank holding companies as CNB and Old National in Evansville--which like many banking companies wanted to consolidate their various banks under a single charter--found that they could save millions by moving their bank charters to a state that didn't tax twice. So they did.
Moving the charter doesn't necessarily equate to moving the bank headquarters. While CNB moved its Civitas Bank charter to Michigan, it remained Evansville-based. "But once the charter's gone, the loyalty's gone," says King, "and any expansion will probably occur in the other state. That's the big impact."
It's essentially a moot point in the case of CNB, because the Evansville banking giant is in the process of merging with Ohio's Fifth Third. But armed with the new legislative protection, Old National is "100 percent committed to moving its charter back to Indiana this July," according to its general counsel and corporate secretary, Jeff Knight.
Irwin Union, one of Indiana's largest state-chartered banks, had not announced a decision to move its charter. But Kime says that with its increase in out-of-state operations, "we were going to look at it seriously if the legislation didn't pass."
Despite the state law changes, "Indiana still taxes financial institutions higher than other states--we're no tax haven," says First Bank Richmond's CEO, Bob Fix. He adds: "Indiana's non-competitive position extends to the insurance and mutualfund industries," as well. Sounds like a new legislative agenda.

Anchorage police on Tuesday arrested a man driving a stolen car in a Dec. 9 car chase and collision that injured himself and a woman in another vehicle, police said.
Officers arrested the man, 24-year-old Joplin, Mo., resident Kevin Wright, upon his release from a local hospital.
Wright was allegedly driving a stolen Dodge sedan about 11 p.m. Dec. 9 when a police officer tried to stop the car, Parker said. With four passengers in the car, Wright drove through a stoplight at 15th Avenue and C Street, then smashed into a Chevrolet Blazer driven by 31-year-old Mylinda Forrester, the police spokesman said.
Forrester, who was partially ejected when the Blazer rolled on its side down an embankment, remained in the hospital's Intensive Care Unit on Tuesday, Parker said. Her condition has been steadily improving, he said.
All four of Wright's passengers were hospitalized, and none were charged, Parker said.
Wright faces charges of vehicle theft, eluding police, assault and driving without a valid license.

New Delhi, July 25: Minister of State (MoS) in the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) Dr. Jitendra Singh said here on Friday that the government's decision is not in any way going to be influenced by the issuing and non-issuing of the admit cards by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC).
"The UPSC follows a calendar of its own, there is absolutely no co-relation between what the UPSC has done and the kind of decision that the government is going to take and follow it up accordingly. And therefore I think it should not be confused and we must make these youngsters understand that the government's decision is not in any way going to be influenced by the issuing or non issuing of the admit cards by the UPSC," said Singh.
"We have already clarified in the parliament. The committee has been again asked to present its report within a period of one week following which we will take a due course of action," Singh added.
He also criticised the previous ruling Congress government for not investigating into the UPSC issue earlier as it has been going on since 2011-12.
"The previous government had only increased its tenure, and this issue which has raised a controversy has been going on since 2011-2012. At that time they didn't hold any enquiry into it but now when they are in opposition they are protesting against it," said Singh
"We are finding a solution and we are going to do it very soon. We are absolutely seized of the matter with all the seriousness, all the sympathy, all the sensitivity at our command. We will not discriminate any student in any way specially on the basis of language," he added.
Students have been protesting against the exam saying there is a need to change the second paper as it makes it difficult for people coming from rural areas of Hindi-speaking states to crack the exam.
The students argue that the questions asked in language comprehension skills are asked in English and no Hindi translations are provided. They want this to be changed.
However, earlier this month also Jitendra Singh made a statement in the Lok Sabha and assured that no candidate will be discriminated on the basis of language.
The UGC issued admit cards yesterday which further fueled the candidates already protesting against changes made in the examination pattern. (ANI)

3. Nobody was trained on hydraulic pumps or gas.
It seems to me that the one designed to be the main was the hydraulic one but I am a bit confused. For what I have understood there were two hydraulic pumps, one for each engine, drive directly. So why do you say that only one could be drive at any given time?
Yes, it seems you are correct. No timeline regarding the last engine going out of service. Anyway I seem to recall that when the last electric pumps stooped to work (short circuit) no ship engine was working, except one of the generators.
I find odd that at this time of the inquiry the time table of events is not yet completely clear.

"much of a muchness…"
I've reached the point where sero-sorting seems an increasingly attractive option. I've had it up to my eyebrows with "neg" guys who just don't get it or are otherwise uninformed about HIV and other STIs. The number of men who are completely unaware about safer sex (including gay men) is alarming.
So, a'sorting I will go.
Ooops – road block number one. I'm in a small city. It's conservative and closeted. There are a lot of guys living with HIV here, but they aren't wearing name tags and they don't hang out where I go. Never mind, I'll look for some small number of my "poz" community and work the room…
Ooops – road block number two. Of the poz guys that are out, mostly they just want to have sex. While I enjoy sex, at this point in my life I'm much more interested in connection – intimacy that includes sex, but that is not ONLY sex. I want to date in that quaint old-fashioned way with flowers and dinners and cuddling. I want to get to know someone before jumping in the sack. I want something real.
"Ooops – road block number three. I'm 53 years old, which in our youth and beauty based sub-culture, makes me an old geezer. Internal beauty is not nearly as important as external beauty. Skateboard boys are all the rage.
I've put out ads looking for both long term relationships and for sex (yes, I still do get horny, if only on occasion). Generally, I don't disclose my status in ads – don't need the haters, and nothing's happened yet. Sex ads will get you 10 responses in the first five minutes; place an ad for a relationship and it's the faint sound of crickets. And the sex responses tend toward "I b clean UB2" or "ddf, you be the same".
Back to the drawing board. . . .
And then there are the academics of it. The academics of sero-anything is just that – think-tank stuff that directs how we should think, but doesn't reflect reality or changes people's minds. Academia develops the terminology we adopt and for guys in the real world (i.e. NOT connected to the not for profit AIDS industry or academia), they simply don't relate to the tacit rules and regulations and politics. They just live their lives. Sero-sorting is a term they don't understand. The same goes for sero-positioning and PReP and heteronormativity, homonormativity and cis-genderism and on and on…Truth is, most gay guys just don't relate.
Of course, there are guys that are looking for connection, but in small cities and certainly even more in rural areas, it's difficult to find them without taking out a full page ad in the local paper. And for me, living with lypoatrophy makes it that much more complicated. Seems no one wants "damaged" goods. Facial wasting reminds guys that they too are "sick". Most guys want perfection – which doesn't exist, but nonetheless must be pursued, whether that be the biggest cock, blondest boy, bubblest butt or whatever.
This leaves me with the fear that I will forever remain "coffee buddy": always great to be around, but not worth getting to know intimately. Most negative guys (including the married ones) are too terrified of HIV to be involved and most positive guys seem to reject relationship. Those are both glaring generalizations, but all glaring generalizations have a glint of truth in them.
If you live in a big city the opportunity to meet other poz guys is that much easier. Even the negative guys might be somewhat more informed. But in small towns, the chances of meeting openly poz guys are few and far between. Sero-sorting remains, for me, an elusive but attractive theory. Somewhere it's out there, but as far away as the crab nebula, as uncertain as the existence of Santa Claus and as delicate as a bubble about to hit the wall.

Duterte: Name tagged David Tan in Davao also fictitious
DAVAO CITY—Mayor Rodrigo Duterte said the name being cited as that of alleged smuggling kingpin David Tan is fictitious, but that he would not hesitate to use the harshest possible methods to fight smuggling in the city.
He said, though, that he would not oppose the release of the shipments of rice that are being held here on suspicion that they were smuggled if duties are fully paid.
Duterte said the name Davidson Tan Bangayan, which was cited as the real identity of David Tan, was fictitious, as far as this city was concerned. He said there was no such person or businessman in the city.
According to Jess Arranza, head of the Federation of Philippine Industries, there was a "high probability" that David Tan was actually David Tan Bangayan, a businessman from Davao City who was initially in the scrap metal business but ventured into rice trading.
Duterte, however, said there was no David Tan Bangayan in his city. The David Tan he knows of, according to the mayor, is a legitimate businessman based in Cebu City.
Two shipments of imported rice are being held here by the customs bureau after these were allegedly imported without permits from the National Food Authority.
Duterte said the Office of the Solicitor General had strongly opposed the release of the rice shipments as ordered by a court in Manila and another in Batangas, ruling on petitions filed by the importers, Starcraft International Trading Corp. and Bold Bidder Marketing and General Merchandise.
Datu Samson Pacasum, Port of Davao collector, said the rice shipments had not been released yet despite the court order.
Pacasum said he had yet to personally see a copy of the court order to release the rice shipments.
Duterte said he would not oppose the release of the imported rice as long as the companies involved in the importation complete the requirements and pay all duties for the shipments.
"As long as they have secured all the permits and have paid, that is not considered smuggling anymore," he said.
Duterte has been criticized by Commission on Human Rights Chair Etta Rosales for saying he would not hesitate to kill smugglers if they operated in his city.
"If I say, don't engage in smuggling here so that you will not die, is that more acceptable?" said Duterte.
"Point out to me the law, which says I could not threaten criminals," said the mayor, addressing himself to Rosales, who called the mayor's statements "unethical."
"Ethics?" Duterte said. "Is that all in the gray matter between your ears? Billions and billions of pesos are lost to smuggling because some corrupt men in the government are robbing the people blind and nobody has stopped it," he said in a news conference he called on Wednesday.
"If I take the law into my hands, I'll answer for it, that's not your problem. Your problem is smuggling," Duterte said.
Duterte said he would fight smuggling, even if he had to kill smugglers in the process and went to jail because of it.
"I'm willing to go to prison," said Duterte. "I will really kill you (smugglers)," he added. Germelina Lacorte, Inquirer Mindanao
