Spain's Debt Buyer Of Last Resort Becomes Seller In Scramble To Fund Deposit Outflows
Several days ago we reported that Spanish financial institutions suffered the largest deposit outflow on record in the month of July when a whopping EUR74 billion, or 5% of the country's entire asset base, picked up and left, the bulk of it most likely taking the well-known path of least resistance to the safety of Swiss and German bank vaults. We showed how this looks visually, and as the chart below confirms it can be summarized in one word only: waterfall.
And while in isolation this news was bad enough, a far more troubling implication arises when one considers that in Europe's financial Ice-9 world, in which the interbank market has been dead for over a year, and where the ECB is the shadow lender of only resort, providing funding via various repo channels to local banks to fund Spain's deficit by purchasing sovereign bonds in the primary market. To wit: since the entire financial system's liabilities (deposits) just declined by a record EUR74 in one month, since the consolidated balance sheet has to balance, either Spain's (thoroughly insolvent) banks had to generate EUR74 billion in shareholder equity in one month, i.e. profits - a prospect which is rather amusing considering Spain's banking system recently officially demanded a European bailout, or banks had to sell a like amount of assets in order to fund this outflow. Naturally, they chose the latter. The problem is that the security they sold is the one which only the banks have been buying recently in order to preserve the illusion that Spain is solvent. It was Spanish sovereign bonds.
Spain is beginning to lose the support of its banks as last-resort buyers of government debt, with lenders selling out of their holdings at the fastest pace in more than two years in July, ratcheting up pressure on the European Central Bank to step in and put an end to the country's burgeoning debt crisis.
The sales are a blow to Madrid, which was increasingly reliant on domestic banks to buy its debt after an exodus of foreign investors. Domestic lenders, under political pressure to support the sovereign, used cheap loans from the ECB to buy an extra EUR87bn of debt between December 2011 and March this year.
But that support has begun to ebb, with Spanish banks selling over EUR17bn of debt since then, according to ECB data. In July alone, domestic lenders reduced their holdings by EUR9.3bn, in part to meet an outflow of deposits, signalling that money is now too tight to support the sovereign.
Spanish banks are facing problems of their own. Data released last week showed that customers withdrew EUR74bn of deposits in July alone - equivalent to 4.7% of total deposits and the biggest monthly outflow since records began. Since June last year, clients have withdrawn EUR233bn, or 13% of the total then.
A need to raise cash to meet those withdrawals may have prompted the recent bond sales, as other assets owned by banks - mainly loans and mortgages - are far less liquid. Spanish bank bond holdings are dominated by Spanish government debt, but also include those of other countries.
Furthermore, as the chart below shows, the supreme irony is that Draghi's biggest enemy in the fight to preserve the illusion of Spanish solvency, is Spain itself, and specifically its depositors, whose bank jog suddenly becoming a sprint, is the worst thing that Spain, and the ECB, can possiby face. Indeed, since Draghi's "whatever it takes" speech, Spanish bonds have roundtripped and are now virtually unchanged. The primary culprit? Spanish banks forced to sell the bonds they bought in the primary market.
As a reminder, while Mario Draghi is furiously trying to come up with a bond buying plan that is endorsed by Germany, Buba and Weidmann, all of whom have, to date, said, "9-9-9", regardless of what the final construct is, whether it includes the ECM, EFSF, and/or ECB buying bonds directly, the key distinction is that no monetary authority can buy bonds in the primary market, as that is a direct breach of Article 123/125, and absent a thorough revision of the Maastricht Treaty, investors will dump as soon as the ECB starts breaking the rules unilaterally. Certainly bonds can be monetized in the secondary market, but someone has to buy them from the government. And if Spanish banks are unable to stem the deposit outflow, there is simply no practical possibility for banks to be buying SPGBs in the primary market even as they are forced to dump them in the secondary market.
In other words, the ECB may or may not surprise next week, but unless the Spanish public is convinced its banks are safe, and the remaining EUR1.5 trillion in Spanish deposits do not explicitly remain within the Spanish bank system, anything Draghi does will be for nothing.
Finally, add to this the surge in Spanish bad debt, which as we reported recently soared to an all time high: NPLs which will have to be provisioned for with cash-hungry charge offs, and one can see why suddenly from a perfect summer, Spain may head straight into the perfect storm.
Spanish loan delinquencies bad and getting worse in a hurry...
And with the August vacation now in the rearview mirror, here is why should the deposit outflows persist, Spain may have a problem or two funding itself now that the peak of its gross issuance is upon us:
- 6 September: Spain auction. Bonds
- 18 September: Spain auction. Bills
- 20 September: Spain auction. Bonds
- 25 September: Spain auction. Bills
- 4 October: Spain auction. Bonds
- 16 October: Spain auction. Bills
- 18 October: Spain auction. Bonds
- 23 October: Spain auction. Bills
Graphically, supply is set to rise significantly in September and October for Spain:
And even if all works out in 2012, it is all downhill from January 1, 2013. As UBS explained:
Even assuming that the Spanish Treasury sticks to its original funding plan of EUR 86bn, the Tesoro will need to continue to sell around EUR 6bn of bonds per month. Monthly net issuance should average nearly EUR 3bn. Moreover, gross issuance could potentially rise to around EUR 8bn per month and total net issuance could reach EUR 13bn if Spain adjusts for the increased net-borrowing requirement.
Considering that Spain usually carries out two auctions per month, this would imply an average issuance of around EUR 4bn per auction. The last time Spain was able to sell such an amount at a single auction session was in early March. Monthly supply has ranged between EUR 5-6bn since April (we exclude the first three months of 2012 when Spanish supply was largely supported by the two 3Y LTROs). Since that time, Spanish banks' capacity to absorb new government paper has deteriorated.
In our view this should continue to keep Spanish bonds under pressure each time supply approaches, making Spain very vulnerable to a possible loss of market access should other adverse domestic economic factors or events cause demand to fall even further.
Spain's situation is even more worrisome when looking at next year's funding requirements.
In 2013, Spain will need to refinance around EUR 60bn of maturing Bonos and Obligaciones while issuing an additional EUR 45bn to cover its public deficit. In this analysis, we assume that the government's targets for next year are reached. This amount needs to include the funding for the deficit of local administration since regional issuance is unlikely to resume next year. Similarly, the central government very likely will need to cover the EUR 15 billion of Spanish regional debt maturing in 2013, which as it stands now cannot be otherwise refinanced. Additional central government funding may also need to be provided for maturing Spanish international and agency debt such as FADE bonds for a further EUR 3-4bn.
All in all, the total amount of gross bond issuance from Spain in 2013 could be in excess of EUR 120bn. That is around 40% higher than this year, 10-20% higher than in 2009 and almost four times larger than the average amount of Spanish bond issuance recorded in the previous four years.
Perhaps at this point the only thing that can save Spain now that the 1 month respite from reality is over, is fast forwarding straight to the Christmas break, and the inevitable LTRO X, which the ECB will have to do in order to provide additional funding to Spain, which unlike before, however, will no longer work as Spain and the rest of Europe, are out of eligible collateral, meaning the ECB will have to get the Buba to agree to even more last minute rule changes to keep Spain "solvent."

Look for the little girls with the rifles in the pre-Wikileaks newsreel.
Who is buying all the bonds the Spanish banks are selling?
We have no idea how deeply our unaudited Fed has mired itself (us), counter to its operating charter, in the whole European mess.
To what degree did they go joint and several after Timmy did his world tour to talk them out of austerity?
I'll be the first to admit Bernanke is the master if his mathematical formulas somehow ease us out of this without a total reset, but if QE did not work, what is so special about "unconventional easing?"
Who knows, we're controlling a robot on Mars and are about ten years away from routinely creating replacement human organs. Machines are close to inventing machines and taking mankind into a hyperdrive rate of creation. Maybe we are on the cusp of transcending the laws of supply and demand, and controlling fear and greed from a centralized point.
I don't enjoy my lack of economic faith, but until I see the wounds for myself, I'll continue building a defensive personal plan.
They even use robots in many surgeries now.
It gets even more tricky when one considers the Spanish autonomous communities. Katalunia and Valencia admitted they are broke and need close to 10B euro from the Regional Liquidity Fund (FLR). And that is only for 2012!!! Others to follow. However, the fund has only a total of 18B and is backed by the central government and the national lottery. Charles Ponzi would be so proud. Almost needless to say that in line with the central government the regions/communities are also 'slightly' off-track when it comes to deficit reduction.

Shiva is worse. He says : Now that karma has done this I can fill it with good ole spice. Imagine the pain. I think Draghi is Shiva. He will fill those cornadaed banks with vanishing money. Bank runs need money to run away with. The more he pours in the more the country takes on as public debt, the more the oligarchs run away with as private profit. Well played Shiva.
"We are bankrupt and need ECB tutoring."... Then Spain becomes Greece and the golden fleece goes to...Italy!
Rinse and repeat Draghi; umm Shiva!

Cash moved from a Spanish bank to a German bank will sit in a vault..??
The cash will go straight back to Spain to buy new debt.
I sold my PM's and am betting on big returns in short term Spain bonds.
Thanks, Monti...
The Bogus has a point here. The Spanish cash deposited in German banks can be loaned, with some sort of ECB 'guarantee', to Spanish banks, which buy new Spanish debt, which is then flipped to the ECB......
Runs on deposits might cause an increase in the 'notes on issue' liabilities of the ECB relative to total liabilities, as more people move into physical cash, but I can't see this can not being being kicked further. At least as long as ECB liabilities are 'money good'.
I didn't sell any PM's, that I may or may not have, though.
Somebody pull the trigger, I'm tired of waiting for the big reset
Start treating the liabilities of government & their central banks for what they are... junk.
The big reset won't happen until no one expects it anymore and everyone is snoozing.
When the asset base of a country is leaving in 5% chunks, the reset has been triggered.
When this begins to happen with the world's reserve currency, the reset will be in full force.
Got leadership?
The only small problem, with this ( and I am not saying that it will not happen ), is that ECB dose not have the way to spread inflation all over the world as FED has.
So the more they monetize, in any form and way, the more prices will spike in Europe, and this for certainty will have a quite-wide-spread mass disturbances, with following crash of any political system. And one is certain, the Europeans are extremely sensitive to any price increases due to their painful ( and very vivid, especially in Eastern Europe ) inflationary-economics history lessons. That, for ones, is an extremely powerful common bondage across the Pan-European plane.
Yes. This is why austerity was their last viable chance to limit the pain to only contained paychecks and reduced social services.
Right, because liquidity traps always work out so well.
Maybe germany will offer spain a loan with negative interest rates. Hell, I would take out another business loan if the bank is going to pay me to do it.
Not even a weak attempt, come on MDB, I know you can do a lot better.
Is that milliondollarbonus milliondollarboner or milliondollarbogus? We need a milliondollarbonehead..
great points.
after that helicopter crash I remain cautiously pessimistic and expect handsome return on my short positions.
next week could be riot!
bring it on!
Helicopter Crash? If there had been a helicopter crash, why had all the markets been green? If Draghi offers some surprise next week and Germany's Constitutional Court gives the green light to ESM the week after, your shorts will be blown up... Even if the Fed disappoints in 2 weeks, the prayer for QE3 in November will begin instantly. It's a bull market. Fundamentals matter no more.
Exactly, The Great Lie will continue. They will not let the markets adjust naturally and will do anything and everything to keep kicking the can, otherwise the ponzi gets exposed. Every time the markets start to adjust, somebody somewhere gives a speech declaring they will fix this and by that they mean print. This is why I don't think we need to study The Great Depression, no, we need to study Zimbabwe and Weimar Republic stock market charts. That's the only conclusion since they've chosen to stimulate with monetary policy instead of addressing the fiscal policy.
Look at it this way, the government is giving all power (and responsibility) for fixing (wallpapering over) the government's screw-ups over to the FED. This takes attention away from the real source of the problem, the government itself.
"This is why I don't think we need to study The Great Depression, no, we need to study Zimbabwe and Weimar Republic stock market charts."
Or perhaps Japan of the last 20 years - at least for a while. Which bring us to this:Japan plans to cut state spending, could run out of money in a month
And don't forget that the VAT/IVA just increased from 18% to 21% from today here in Spain. Good job I cleaned out my local Barcelona coin shop of all it's Silver Eagles some years back.

It's actually a good place to live if you have taken the right steps to protect yourself.
Your right, it is a great place, however if your not a farmer "or have an abundance of food stored away" I would consider getting out as well.
With the new taxes being implemented "i.e. Huge Austerity " people will no longer have the money to purchase near as much, we will see sales drop and stores close. Most are hanging on by a thread now, lets see where this gets them.
Good Luck Spain !!!
Agree - Still a great place to live, but we live in Catalonia, which is rich compared to other regions.
Going to be interesting here on the 11th - La Diada - National Catalonia Day...
Excellent article. It is this kind of coverage that is so valuable when trying to cut through the obscuring fog generated by government and quasi-governmental entities.
The analysis is flawed. Spain can still ELA to absorb the SPGB issuances. Even Greece can use ELA to manage to finance its government through treasury bills. Why can't Spain use ELA to kick the can farther?
Indeed. And there are other options as well. Here's the quote:
Bonds can be monetized in the secondary market, but someone has to buy them from the government. And if Spanish banks are unable to stem the deposit outflow, there is simply no practical possibility for banks to be buying SPGBs in the primary market even as they are forced to dump them in the secondary market.
So what if banks withdraw from the primary market? That still leaves primary dealers (hello, Goldman Sachs!) and hedge funds to flip newly-issued bonds to the ECB for a profit ... as in QE II in the U.S., exhaustively covered here at ZH.
One can't just treat the shadow banking sector as if it didn't exist.
"One can't just treat the shadow banking sector as if it didn't exist."
...until it doesn't?
Tic toc tic toc
Best guess? Because Greece is a gnat compared to Spain. I've been waiting for any sunlight of reality to enter the minds of the bond market, but funding Spanish debt solely through the ELA might just do it.
Safety deposit boxes in Germany and Switzerland stuffed with ----- the Yellow Metal i bet.
"Safety deposit boxes "
Last place I'd keep my PM's in this environment. There will soon be some confiscating going on just watch and see.
Agreed. PM's don't do much for you when the bank lock the door and you can't even get to your safety deposit box.
It the same for trading accounts at a firm that is having financial or lquidity issues. Sorry, your account is frozen until we figure things out.
In other words, you're screwed.
Isn't it interesting that if someone would go through the process of buying PM's because they don't trust the money and banking system, they would then have their PM stored at the very institutions they don't trust?
Fraud has a lifespan, doesn't matter how good you are at it, how hard you try, or how much help you have. Fiscal irresponsibility is ultimately self limiting.
very true, however in this case, much of the fraud is also committed by the ones supposedly protecting us from it. Hence the longevity of the crime at hand.
Revolution appears to be the only key to change in this environment.

Seems like capital controls may not be too far away for Spain... The ponzi is unraveling....
"...in Europe's financial Ice-9 world..."
Ice-9- Love reading your references. Perfect description. One crystal and everything freezes up tight.
Since I began covering the Eurocrisis, I have noticed that European officials always wait until the weekend to release bad news. Had this news hit the wire during the week, it could have caused a swoon. The plan with bad news releases is to wait until the weekend so that the sundry bureaucrats, banksters and politicians could spin it.
The first spin is within the first two lines of the article where we learn that Spain will "inject" capital into Bankia by "pumping" €4.5bn into it. The words is quotes are euphemisms for giving the taxpayers' money to the banks.
Bankia is on the road to failure, so it is important to note that this money is being thrown away. If you don't think that Bankia will totally fail soon, than you have not been paying attention to the GFC. Whenever losses begin at an entity, they are underestimated until the day the entity fails and becomes a ward of the state. Remember AIG or Merrill or Greece?
When Bankia fails, the shareholders will lose their entire investment. Additionally, depositors who were sold subordinated debt with the pitch that it was as safe as their deposit accounts will also lose all of their money. There are calls for the Spanish government to bail out ordinary Spanish citizens who purchased this debt, but the EU is insisting that they take losses. This is a politically untenable situation for Rajoy's government.
Spain is undergoing a bank run. The Spanish banks are holding up the Spanish sovereign and vice-versa. If one falls, they both do.
"Had this news hit the wire during the week, it could have caused a swoon."
Nothing causes a swoon any more....Benny's got the market's back covered. It's all Bullshit!
It makes you really appreciate the way the US has dealt with those issues in relatively short time and in action that stabilized the banks. The US system is more transparent than almost any other country, which makes the problem look more painful because they are more exposed. On the other hand, it forces you to deal with the earlier in actually resolve the issue.
Sometime you look at the decision made in Europe the and reaction is REALLY? - http://rsilberman.com/?p=525 - and like this article says, when companies take action that makes you say "Really?", like the recent Adidas shoes or the new Coke years ago, they suffer consequences in the market. It takes longer for countries to suffer the same painful result that makes you want to avoid those situations.
Hard to believe the U.S. is more transparent when we have no idea what the Fed has done or is doing.
the FED is where the scams are invented, tried out for "proof of concept", packaged out with a mega mark up via TBTF, then exported to all and sundry. Manifest destiny in financialista scamistan all guaranteed in HFT mode!
The Navy seals couldn't match that expertise!
What was that about transparency?
Oh yes! There is no shadow banking system in the uSA...right?
700T of 'you scratch my back I scratch your nuts"...is a game the FED knows nothing about; except that its practised and perfected by its main shareholders! You know, the magnificent Seven of WS. Who advise and play on both sides with the ECB.
'unless the Spanish public is convinced its banks are safe'
They'd have to put more than flouride in the water for that.
When I read the article I got the impression that the bankers within each bank are crooks and above prosecution such that even if they were bailed out by the big crooks like Draghi, the individual crooks would simply and safely move the bailout funds into something else either through selling them or converting them into foreign bank accounts with their individual name on them or perhaps selling off portions of the bank properties or renting them out as brothels and then putting that money into private offshore accounts. The banking mafia must be a difficult business to run once laws are removed to protect those at the top.
So maybe all the illegal military buildup in the US is to keep the bankster mafia in line among other unwillings once the SHTF in America.
Nice article BTW
Ben Bernanke is a magical wizard.
Apparently, so the story goes, Ben was disappointed with the size of his penoose and therefore he asked his masters (Dimon, Blankfein etchetera etchetera) for some cash to upgrade himself.
Of course they agreed and told Ben it would be ok to 'run off a few more bills for himself on the next QE'
Ben squeeled with delight and glee 'I'm going to have the biggest cark in DC'
Fast forward to the Ghan (Af-Ghanistan) and Ben is helicoptered into a remote village fabled for it's donkeys. Ben joyfully wanders through the flocks of donkeys peering at their undersides in search of the largest dong. He strokes the balls of many sampling donkey carks hoping to find a keeper.
FINALLY he has what he wants - and needs - an abnormally large carck which is attached to a glorious donkey. 'Yes - I shall have that one!' shouts Ben
And the army surgeons quickly go to work carefully slicing the cark from the donkey then splicing it onto Ben's woeful member.
As Ben emerges from the surgery the doctors hold a mirror so he can inspect his new giant donkey cark.
'YES' says Ben what a happy day this is. Finally a cark of epic proportions! 'I will now be the stud of DC. I will be one substantial swinging dick'
And with that Ben is whisked back to America where the adventures begin..........

Art in the Open Philadelphia, May 13-15, 2016
Art in the Open (AiO) is a biennial citywide event that celebrates artists, their inspirations for creating art, and their relationships with the urban environment. Art in the Open debuted in June 2010, bringing a jury-selected group of artists to the Schuylkill Banks - from the historic Fairmount Water Works to Bartram's Garden - to inspire new ways of seeing the river and the city it runs through. Every other year, a new group of artists is chosen for a three day event, creating new works of art outside, in a creative process open to everyone.
The public is encouraged to participate in Art in the Open by visiting often during the three-day event, to see the works of art evolve and talk with the artists about their creative process. By actively engaging with AiO, you become part of that process - shifting ideas of the art audience, and as part of the environment the artists are considering, influencing how the art take shape. Artists' working times will vary with their project's particular needs; most activity takes place between 9 am and 5 pm.
Partnering civic and cultural organizations throughout Philadelphia also offer extensive opportunities for public engagement with the event, showcasing the vibrant community of working artists, galleries and institutions that make Philadelphia a major Urban Art Center, and its two rivers: waterways which continue to inspire creative response and also serve as an ecologically critical lifeline for its residents.

The deadline for submissions has been extended to Friday, January 29, 2016

Finitely presentable, non-Hopfian groups with Kazhdan's Property (T) and infinite outer automorphism group
Abstract | References | Similar Articles | Additional Information
Abstract: We give simple examples of Kazhdan groups with infinite outer automorphism groups. This answers a question of Paulin, independently answered by Ollivier and Wise by completely different methods. As arithmetic lattices in (non-semisimple) Lie groups, our examples are in addition finitely presented.
We also use results of Abels about compact presentability of -adic groups to exhibit a finitely presented non-Hopfian Kazhdan group. This answers a question of Ollivier and Wise.

Dear Friends,
Last August, I had the chance to visit one of my favorite places in Africa. This special place straddles the western arm of the Rift Valley adjacent to Lake Eyasi and the vast Serengeti plains of Tanzania. Just north of here lies Olduvai Gorge and some of the oldest hominid fossils ever found. These areas comprise the core homeland of the Hadza people, one of the last hunter-gatherer tribes left on Earth, and together we call it the Yaeda Valley (read more about our work in this region in the current issue of Nature Conservancy magazine).
On this occasion I was standing on a big rock, or kopje, with a group of staff to learn about our important conservation work. On that day and at that time, we could feel a certain energy vibrating around and through us. For me, it was like the wisdom and experience of our ancestors was being channeled through the wind. I felt it viscerally in the body, and yet it was almost impossible to describe verbally. The Hadza would say that our bodies were simply absorbing the presence and knowledge of others who have been on the kopje before us for thousands of years.
That knowledge must be helping all of us, because 2015 was another great year of conservation work that you have all enabled. I just want to highlight a few key outcomes we all can be proud of in Africa. We protected the Loisaba Conservancy, a 56,000-acre reserve in Kenya that is essential for elephant movement and various other endangered plains game. We secured a commitment to establish 400,000-square-kilometers of marine protected areas in the Seychelles, the biggest in the West Indian Ocean. Our Gabon program formally launched with approval of the Gabonese government for TNC to work there. Fundraising success helped us leverage over $21 million in public funding, including $12.4 million from USAID for our Northern Tanzania Rangelands Initiative.
This is really great stuff that is built on a firm foundation of wisdom from others and the strong flow of support and collaboration we share with all of you. We feel your energy in everything we do, and we can't thank you enough for helping us build something that will last for generations to come.
Thanks for a great 2015 and we look forward to more successes in 2016.
David Banks, Regional Managing Director, TNC Africa Program

"That may be the case, but judging by Google's share price, the company has a long way to go to convince investors that the Nexus One was a win".
N1 is not and, as far as I can tell, was never going to be a big cash cow... Why do you think it should affect the company share price?
If you just want to stimulate the you don't do it like that. You sell through existing channels.
Google went out to take a direct share of the market and discovered
1) The users didn't want it
2) They couldn't support it and
3) The other Android vendors wouldn't stand for it. They would have jumped ship (HP did).
Next we'll have Microsoft railing about what a success the Kin was.
Using that same unconvincing reasoning, investor's disappointment with "Buzz" caused them to lose $30 billion in market value. You can insert any variable you want in the paragraph above to imply there is a causal link, but it doesn't make it true. Google's growth in the phone market through the Android operating system also started around the same time and has been both unanticipated and explosive - maybe that's the cause you are looking for?
they should have been patient. i didnt buy the nexus1 but sure i'd want a nexus 2. i was hoping they will launch gingerbread w/ nexus 2. stock android, better UI, instant updates, better hardware, no contract... sigh.
sure theoretically it's possible to open up a mobile market for google to sell ads, but would it actually be opened up and if it does, would it really benefit Google? I don't know. The whole fixation on open-source and certain fixation on pursuing a technological dream would end up dooming google, I remember Sun was the poster child for investing and promoting technology, yet it's sold now and its invention such as Java, while popular, failed to generate much money for them.
Please no more causal links in articles. There are literally billions of factors involved in stock prices and trying to assign a causal link to one variable makes the wsj look just as silly as the meteorologist who assigns the blame for the Texas Twister to one specific Brazilian butterfly.
Not sure what Nexus One did for Google, but surely it put HTC in the limelight as the premier Android phone maker.
Android overall doesn't make money, but it does buy Google some brand loyalty for some geeks who frequent gadget blog sites everyday. But frankly, I wouldn't say they are the best customers out there.
The last line killed the whole article.
Its too bad actually. The Nexus One is still a great phone and quite possibly the fastest phone so far with its JIT compiler.
I read this article about why this new marketing strategy was such a failure. You can check it out at http://getyourgadgetsgoing.com/2010/05/17/google-takes-nexus-one-back-to-the-basics/
doesn't android make life so wonderful for users of google apps.. that could well be the next big cash cow for google.

Joseph Jayakumar;
Thanks for your kind words of encouragement. I am simply allowing God to use me. In the new year my teaching ministry will go forth and hopefully there after I will get my own TV show. Keep me in your prayers.
Again, thanks.

A conversation with Kirk Albert: KeyBank still keyed up about SE MichiganComments Email Print
Like many other regional banks, KeyBank has shifted strategy in recent years. In 2006, Edward Reilly, who had just been named Michigan market president for the Cleveland-based bank, told Crain's he planned to embark on an ambitious expansion in Southeast Michigan. Then the recession hit. Crain's reporter Tom Henderson caught up with current market President Kirk Albert to talk about KeyBank's plans.
What has happened since Ed Reilly made his announcements?
In 2006, Ed had just done the acquisition of Sterling Bank and was planning on a fill-in strategy for our footprint. That didn't happen, but Michigan is a bright spot, again, for KeyBank. It's the No. 1 middle market we see. We've hired an asset-based lender. We've hired two more middle-market lenders, and we'll hire two or three more in 2015. We've hired a dealer finance manager and a private-banking manager.
KeyBank weathered the recession rather well. How?
What is the bank's footprint?
We're in the northern half of the country, from Maine to Alaska, along the ice belt.
Any expansion plans?
What do you like about the local market, including Ann Arbor?
We're one of the largest SBA lenders in the country. There's a resurgence of owners who want to sell their businesses, baby boomers who might have sold in 2008-2009 but didn't because of the recession. There are a lot of acquisition opportunities. Private banking, which includes wealth management, is strong here.
What's your background?
I grew up in Westland and was a finance major at UM. I graduated in 1991. I started my banking career as an intern at National Bank of Detroit and then joined Society Bank in 1992, which merged with KeyBank in 1994.

Welcoming, comfy in need of some updating
Stayed for 1 night in July 2015, 2 adults and 2 dogs in the room.
We couldn't have been made more welcome this is a very dog friendly establishment they even served breakfast in the bar for us so the dogs could stay by our side whilst leaving other diners in peace. The room was small for the 4 of us but that was only to be expected. The furniture was dated and had we stayed for more than 1 night the sticking drawer on the set of drawers in the bedroom would have been a problem. Most importantly, the bed was very comfortable and clean and there was plenty of hot water in the shower. We did report a sticking shower door and were told that a workman was waiting to sort it. I get the impression that updates to the decor are going to be ongoing. We enjoyed our evening meal in the bar and cooked breakfast. Would definitely stay here and eat here again.

Four-star San Francisco hotel in Redwood City Welcome to the Sofitel San Francisco hotel, a modern luxury resort located next to many Fortune 500 Technology companies - from Facebook and LinkedIn to Electronic Arts. Ideally situated in Redwood City between San Francisco and San Jose, this four-star hotel is only 10 minutes south of the San Francisco Airport. Enjoy luxury service and beautifully appointed accommodations in a relaxing hotel oasis on the shores of a tranquil lagoon.
The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly
That we couldn't stay longer
The view from our sixth floor room was beautiful. There were birders in our room and birds could be seen in the trees close by as well as the beautiful lake. We loved seeing the sunrise and the mountains. Just walking around the grounds was a pleasant experience. Thank you for a lovely stay from Southerners who spent Christmas in your lovely surroundings.
I like sofitel brand and the amenities
The rooms are in dire need of remidel. Bathroom had molding joints and wallpaper coming off the wall.
This hotel cancelled my reservation without explanation during the last week prior to my stay which caused the booking.com to commit fraud against me by making another reservation at a different hotel without my permission and instructed to not do that but did it anyway causing loss of funds which the other hotel refused to refund due to their booking policy which was completely contrary to to printed policy I had received from booking.com from the first and only reservation made by me. It's a scheme to make money from you regardless of what you do with a reservation. Do your homework on these online booking sites folks. It pays to stay away!
One of the nicest hotels I have stayed at in the area. Very clean and great customer service.
Needed a place to stay for family and friends to attend my daughters graduation from college. The location was convenient, clean, comfortable. I wish I had found it sooner when I would come to visit her. If I were to stay in the area again, this would be my first choice to seek out a bargain.
This hotel can be pricey, I was fortunate to find an Internet deal that had costs comparable to surrounding lodging. In addition, the parking at $25 per night was a bit steep as well. Cost will be the largest consideration for me on a return visit.
Hector was very helpful and friendly... he went out of his way giving us information. He couldn't do enought for us.!!! Thank you
Beautiful lobby, bar, pool
Please serve coffee all day instead of making us buy it at the coffee shop. Keep the pool a bit warmer.
This is a very nice hotel with lots of amenities.
In general the front desk staff was cold and impersonal.
The room was very nice and clean
There was a college football team that stayed in te hotel - they stopped all the elevators for all the guest except the team and we had to walk down 7 flights of stairs that exited into a dark alley leading to the streets. When we told the manager she just looked like oh well.
We arrived after a long drive over to discover that ALL food and beverage was SHUT DOWN until the following morning due to an OUTBREAK of noro virus, which causes violent diarrhea and vomiting. Did we receive a call or an email? NOPE. When I told them we didn't receive a call or an email, the front desk simply stated "Oh, we didn't know your area code." That's what Google is for! STUNNING lack of initiative from the staff of a so called LUXURY hotel.
Staff was very friendly and accommodating
First room had discolored carpets, stained sheets and a phone that didn't work.
Very comfortable room, especially the bed. Very nicely appointed hotel public spaces and helpful, friendly staff, although the front desk was somewhat short staffed when I checked in.
I hate being nickel and dimed -- or dollared -- to death. The rate was about right for the room, but it did not include breakfast ($16 for continental), parking ($20), or Wi-Fi in the room. And there were no other food facilities anywhere near. Hotels are learning about add-on charges all too well from the airlines.
The personalized care and service was outstanding.
The space was very clean and the staff were attentive.
The air conditioning was not working for the length of the stay - the hotel did nothing to notify guests of the problem. When asked about it, guests were told on Monday that it would not be fixed before Thursday, if then. There was no offer for refund. They needed to be proactive and reach out to their guests.
The staff are so welcoming and helpful! The beds are amazing! I could not have been happier with my overall experience. I have been staying here once a month for business for the last 6 months. I would not stay anywhere else in this area.
Sometimes the cafe does not have FACE nonfat yogurt. Really , I know , I had to search deep for a criticism.

Professional services firm, Deloitte was a title sponsor of the inaugural World Retail Congress Africa, held last month in Sandton. I spoke to Ilse du Toit, a manager within the Strategy & Innovation practice at Deloitte Consulting.
Is Africa the Dark Continent when it comes to the advertising industry? On the contrary, says Alan Edgar, Regional Creative Director, Ogilvy Africa and one of regional judges for African and Middle Eastern categories at this year's Loeries. It's alive and vibrant, but in dire need of world-class tertiary training institutions to tap into that potential.
Y&R is committed to having 20 agencies on the African continent by 2015. Leading the charge to achieve this is Yossi Schwartz, chairman of Y&R South Africa.
Uganda's annual PRAU Excellence Awards, the event that recognises public relations and communications excellence in Uganda, which was set to take place in November 2012, eventually took place on Friday, 22 March 2013 at Imperial Royale Hotel. This years event coincided with the East African Public Relations Conference (EAPRC) which took place from 20-22 March in Kampala, Uganda.

MetropolitanRepublic, a newcomer in Uganda's advertising industry became the first local agency to win an award at this year's Loeries in September.

Alex Rukundo, the managing director MRU speaks about the award and the value that intimacy brings to advertising business.
Higher advertising and circulation revenue helped Vision Group, a Ugandan multimedia company, post a 28% growth in profit after tax during the year ending June 2012.
Day 3 of the 14th Pan African Media Research Organisation (PAMRO) and All Africa Media Research Conference that ended on Wednesday, 29 August 2012, in Kampala, Uganda included a session that explored ways to measure ROI on social media.

LONDON, UK: Video streaming will be the next big wave of online content use in Africa. There are still considerable network challenges but... the level of existing use shows that once these issues are resolved, the volume of users will be in the millions. Russell Southwood spoke to the biggest player in the market, Google's YouTube. Elijah Kitaka explained how it sees the potential of video streaming being realised.
Many companies in Africa are embracing social media to reach their online customers like elsewhere in the world. Moses Serugo, an arts journalist, social media marketer and proprietor of Kampalaone.com spoke to Bizcommunity about the benefits of social media marketing in Uganda.

To create a coverage filter rule:
In the Coverage Settings dialog box, enable model coverage.
In the model window, right-click a model object and select Coverage > Exclude.
The following table lists the Exclude menu options. Depending on which option you select, the Type field is automatically set for the coverage filter rule you selected; you cannot override the value in the Type field.
|If you select Coverage > ...
|The rule type is ...
Exclude this block
Exclude all blocks with type <block_type>
Exclude all blocks with type MATLAB Function
Exclude all blocks with type Truth Table
Exclude subsystem with all dependents
Exclude referenced library: <library_name>
Exclude subsystem with all descendants
Exclude chart with all descendants
Exclude mask type <mask name>
Exclude state with all descendants
Exclude this transition
Exclude temporal event <event_name>
Optionally, you can add text that describes why you want to exclude that object or objects from coverage recording, and might be useful to others who review the coverage for your model. When you add a new coverage filter rule, the Coverage Filter Viewer opens. To add the rationale:
Double-click the Rationale field for the rule.
Delete the existing text.
Add the rationale for excluding this object.
The following graphic shows examples of text in the Rationale field.
Note: The Rationale field is the only coverage filter rule field that you can edit in the Coverage Filter Viewer.
From the Coverage Filter Viewer, you can navigate back to the model to create as many coverage filter rules as you need. To return to the model window, click Add new rule by right-clicking in the model.
For each rule that you add, the Coverage Filter Viewer opens so that you can specify a rationale for excluding that object from coverage.
After you define the coverage filter rules, save the rules to
a file so that you can reuse them with this model or with other models.
By default, coverage filter files are named
In the Coverage Filter Viewer:
In the File name field, specify a file name for the filter file or accept the default file name.
Click Apply to save the coverage filter rules to that file.
If you make multiple changes to the coverage filter rules, apply the changes to the coverage filter file each time.
Attach a coverage filter file to your model so that each time you open the model, the coverage filter rules apply when you simulate your model.
In the Coverage Filter Viewer:
Select Attach file to model.
Click Apply.
Note: You can also attach a coverage filter file to your model in the Coverage Settings dialog box, on the Filter tab.
You can have only one coverage filter file attached to a model at a time. If you attach a different coverage filter file, the newly attached file replaces the previously attached file.
Two or more models can have the same coverage filter file attached. If a model has an attached filter file that contains coverage filter rules for specific objects in a different model, those rules are ignored during coverage recording.
Whenever you define a coverage filter rule or remove an existing coverage filter rule, the Coverage Filter Viewer opens. This dialog box lists all the coverage filter rules for your model. For more information, see Coverage Filter Viewer.
To open the Coverage Filter Viewer, right-click anywhere in the model window and select Coverage > Open Filter Viewer.
If you are inside a subsystem, you can view any coverage filter rule attached to the subsystem. To open the Coverage Filter Viewer, right-click any object inside the subsystem and select Coverage > Show filter parent.
To remove a model object from coverage filtering, in the Simulink® Editor, right-click the object and select Coverage > Remove. The Coverage Filter Viewer opens. The coverage filter rule for the selected model object is no longer on the list of rules.
Use the Coverage Filter Viewer to remove multiple coverage filter rules at once:
To open the Coverage Filter Viewer, right-click anywhere in the model and select Coverage > Open Filter Viewer.
Select all the rules that you want to remove.
Click Remove rule.

Chicken & Cheese Noodle Bake Recipe
This is the recipe my daughters and I often make for new parents when they come home from the hospital. With its creamy spaghetti filling and melted cheese topping, this casserole holds a nice cut and comforts hungry tummies. —Fancheon Resler, Bluffton, Indiana

I wish there were more cards that paired Matt Kemp and Clayton Kershaw together. My two favorite players and two main collecting interests are the faces of the franchise, and cardboard should reflect that more than it already does.
My newest Matt/Clayton combo hails from the Team Pinnacle subset of Panini's 2013 Father's Day release. It's the Lava Flow parallel and though it isn't numbered, it's apparently got a print-run of 25 or less. It was had for a paltry $3.04 shipped.
The back is a nice action shot of Kid K minus the lava flow design from the front.

The finality of their season ending with Saturday's AFC divisional playoff loss to New England gave way to uncertainty for the Indianapolis Colts.
The contracts of more than two dozen players expire in March. They become free agents. Players without a home, until another team shows an interest.
"When the offseason comes it's kind of like getting hit by a train," said punter Pat McAfee, one of the pending free agents. "You've been in this routine – it's been like Groundhog Day.
KRAVITZ: It's on GM Ryan Grigson now
INSIDER: 5 lessons learned from Colts' season
"With this, you don't know who's going to retire, who's going to be back, who's going to wind up where."
The Colts' list of free agents includes McAfee, safety Antoine Bethea, placekicker Adam Vinatieri, cornerback Vontae Davis, running backs Donald Brown and Ahmad Bradshaw, linebackers Pat Angerer and Kavell Conner, wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey, offensive linemen Mike McGlynn, Jeff Linkenbach and Joe Reitz, and defensive linemen Fili Moala and Aubrayo Franklin.
WAYNE: Veteran WR confident he'll return better than ever
Indianapolis Colts depth chart, offense and defense
A few snippets from the locker room as players cleaned out their lockers:
Bethea: "You never like cleaning out your locker. (Pending free agency) you deal with it. That's the business side of it. I've had eight great years here in Indy. Comes down the road, just play the cards that are dealt. Would love to stay here, but if not, I've got to keep it moving.
"I've done my part. Go out there, play every game, play the game the way it's supposed to be played. Other than that, I can hold my head up high. Wherever I am next year I'll do the same thing."
Vinatieri: "We all know the situation. Things change. Teams change. I have not heard one way or the other. I love it here. I'd love to be here. We'll see how it goes.
"As long as I'm an asset and not a liability, I still want to play. I know at 41 and 18 years in the league, I've been around a long time. I think I could go a few more years."
McAfee: "Indianapolis has become my home. Everybody in the world knows that. I love this city. I hope I'm back. We'll see how it works out."
Brown: "I don't know what to think. Hopefully I'll be putting the clothes back in the locker. That's my plan. That's my hope. We'll see how the next month sorts itself out.
"This past season was almost like an interviewing process. Now you just wait and see what job offers you get. Just take the one that makes the most sense for me and my family."

The Marshall Plan, or America's decision to rebuild Europe and Japan after World War II, was quite revolutionary. It went beyond traditional notions of geography and history to embrace a new vision using free trade and democracy to create a series of interlocking relationships that end war.
The Marshall Plan birthed history's first democratic empire. It also exemplified what is great about this country - its democratic ideal, its spirit toward the greater good. And it worked, not just to make the world safer, but to make it better. The success of post-war America represents the triumph of democracy and modernity over feudal disunity.
But there has been some interesting hangover from this success. With the rise of America, the global balance of power shifted away from the old European powers. One of the more predictable responses has been an undercurrent of jealousy about the relative strength and position the United States enjoys in the world.
President Bush's invasion of Iraq provided the old European powers with some convenient cover to act out this jealousy. If you listen to the European leaders, it often sounds as if they are blaming America for what happened on Sept. 11. They talk less about the terrorists and more about America's wealth and wastefulness. In such a manner, they transform the United States into a Texas-sized target for all the ills of modern society. Cue the envy and resentment. The United Nations responds by lashing out at the abuse of Iraqi prisoners. They do not pass resolutions when an American is decapitated live on the Internet.
If this seems like odd behavior considering that we keep U.S. troops stationed in Europe for its own protection, it is also somewhat predictable. It's basic scapegoating, a way to claim intellectual and moral superiority over the lone superpower, to identify yourself as part of a resistance and provide some psychological linkage to the glory days of the old European empires. It's the rhetorical equivalent of asserting your masculinity. Anti-Americanism is how France, which has the GNP of Georgia, is able to still occupy a place on the world stage.
We see a similar - albeit more vitriolic - response from nonwestern countries. As Samuel P. Huntington observed in "The Clash of Civilizations": "The underlying problem for the West is not Islamic fundamentalism. It is Islam, a different civilization whose people are convinced of the superiority of their culture and are obsessed with the inferiority of their power."

Super cute. Possibly very slightly less elegant than they appear in the pictures but still a gorgeous shoe. Runs very small and a bit narrow - I never wear a 9, usually 8-8.5 but I had to return the 8.5. 9 fits great though.

The sole of the shoe itself fit perfectly. However, the straps were too large and I could not keep from falling out of them. Even if I added extra holes in the strap to tighten them, the rest of the strap was still loose. I was very sad to have to return them, as they do look really cute.

Fact Sheet

Without these thick rafts of sea ice, the world's largest bear will not survive. Yet at this moment, the polar bear's Arctic abitat is literally melting away beneath it due to global warming. The polar bear is also under pressure from industrial development and toxic chemicals. Over-hunting and commercial trade in polar bear body parts are making these threats worse.
