San Antonio Beer: Alamo City History By The Pint
Brewing history and beer culture permeate San Antonio. The Menger Hotel and its bar notoriously frequented by Teddy Roosevelt and his Rough Riders began as the city's first brewery in 1855. The establishment of San Antonio Brewing Association and Lone Star Brewery at the close of the nineteenth century began the city's golden age of brewing. Decades later, the Volstead Act decimated the city's brewing community. Only one brewery survived Prohibition. Those that bounced back were run out of business by imports coming in on the new railroad. The 1990s saw a craft comeback with the opening of the oldest existing brewpub, Blue Star Brewing Company. Today, San Antonio boasts a bevy of new breweries and celebrates its brewing heritage. Grab a pint and join authors Jeremy Banas and Travis E. Poling for a taste of Alamo City's hoppy history.
San Antonio Beer has the distinction of being apart of the research library of the Daughters of The Republic of Texas, keepers of the most comprehensive library of Texas history; as well as a part of the collection for the Weyerman International Beer Library located at Weyerman Malting in Bamberg, Germany.

Pearl: A Heady History of San Antonio's Iconic Brew
The book will discuss the six periods of Pearl's history. The first period discusses the Pearl Brewery's earliest beginnings as the City Brewery in 1883 and its quick rise to dominance in San Antonio within ten years, quickly moving into the second period that saw fantastic growth, prompting the construction of a new state of the art brewery, stables, offices and bottling house in 1893, as well as cooperation with other Texas breweries in the formation of a Brewers guild to battle the growing rumblings of the temperance movement. The third period discusses the challenges that the brewery faced during the hard times of prohibition, the decision of the company to remain open under a modified business model to keep employees working and the post-Prohibition years that saw Pearl as one of the few remaining breweries in the United States under the leadership of founder Otto Koehler's widow, Emma. After Emma's death' the fourth period begins in 1943 with the ascension of Koehler's nephew Otto A. Koehler, who in addition to returning the name Otto to the management team, he oversaw unprecedented growth until his death in 1969. After Otto A's death, the fifth period is ushered in and sees the struggle of company to maintain its position, its sale and its rapid decline until its closure in 2001. The sixth period sees the revitalization of the Pearl area as a shopping and dining experience beginning in the late 2000s and the eventual return of brewing to the Pearl area in 2012 with the Granary 'Que and Brew brewpub and the return of brewing to the original brewhouse in the form of Southerleigh Fine Food and Brewing in 2015.

(Reuters) - New York prosecutors are investigating whether the early payment of bonuses at Merrill Lynch last year gave the bank's traders an incentive to mark down the value of their trading positions in the last days of December, the Financial Times said, citing people familiar with the probe.
New York's Attorney General Andrew Cuomo has been investigating whether billions paid in executive bonuses at Merrill Lynch ahead of its takeover by Bank of America (BofA) were sanctioned by the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank.
Cuomo's office is now considering whether the early payments encouraged Merrill traders to mark down their portfolios -- which would make it easier for them to post gains fresh out of the gate in January, the paper said.
Three former Merrill Lynch executives told the paper that traders made such changes to their books in late December.
The executives said the markdowns were not outsized, and did not represent a concerted effort to "kitchen sink" the quarter, the paper said, referring to a strategy in which positions are marked down to make later results look better.
In a court filing expected Wednesday, Cuomo will respond to BofA's argument that the disclosure of the individual bonus payments to Merrill employees in December would be an invasion of privacy, the paper said.
Cuomo's office is expected to argue that prosecutors need the specifics of the bonus payments to determine whether important information was kept from BofA shareholders who approved the Merrill acquisition and from federal officials who gave $45 billion in taxpayer funds to the bank, the paper said.
Merrill and Cuomo's office could not be immediately reached for comment by Reuters.

text: Selvaraghavan, who walked out of Kamal Hassans Vishwaroobham, is all set to start his next project. If we can recall, the filmmaker had signed Allu Arjun to star in the bilingual film. Now, he has roped in Anushka Shetty to pair up the actor in the film.It is said that Anushka Shetty had agreed to act in one of the projects of Selvaraghavan before. But it was not sure whether the filmmaker would cast her in Allu Arjun starrer film or the recently planned Aaryas film. Sources say that the director has zeroed in on her for the bilingual film, as she has the ability to appeal both the Tamil and Telugu audiences.The movie, which was rumoured to take-off in August, is reportedly postponed to November. It is because Allu Arjun and Anushka Shetty are busy with their Telugu projects. Whereas, Selvaraghavan has to finish his long-pending project Erandam Ulagam before the commencement of the proposed project.

The great part about writing what you've learned as you've grown older is knowing that there is always someone older than you reading it and rolling their eyes utterly over your shit. This is the kind of thought that both shames from writing and secretly delights me. I'm so over my own shit.
So let me not offer wisdom no one is asking for.
Instead I will let you in on the dirty little secret: as I get older my feelings and emotions have not changed all that much, I've just found ways to cope with these things that are more socially acceptable. There is only so much sympathy for a 52 year old person who is into self-mutilation. Cutting is a young person's self-harm game – browsing Pinterest to bash yourself against your own inability to create perfection is timeless.
I'm getting dangerously close to Mountain Witch levels of wisdom proffering. Let me get to my point: I love crying.
For all the talk about bringing your "authentic self" to work, no one is trying to see you cry at your desk. But sometimes you need to indulge the darkness. That's why there's Spotify.
Building a playlist of doom and gloom has been essential to being a grown person at work (externally) while feeding my malcontent inner teen.
I offer up these pearls so that you can internally wail and indulge the emotional toddler that you actually are while maintaining an outward appearance of a grown adult who knows how to people. To paraphrase Liz Taylor as she chucks couple thousand karats of diamonds at some dude-bros, "these have recently brought me despair."
– Haley Bonar's "Last War" – this one is great for when you need to emotionally rehash and stay in a destructive mental place about unfinished business.
– Sky Ferreira "Nobody Asked Me (If I Was Okay)" – ahhhh, yes let the butthurt flow. A top-notch self-pity jam complete with breathy, urgent vocals.
– Grant Lee Buffalo "Mockingbirds" – what I like about this one is the continuity of sadness it offers me. The same song I could listen to at 16 to weep in my bedroom is the same one I can use to cry in my car in the parking lot of SuperTarget, or plug my headphones in to desecrate the office shitter with a totally new bodily fluid-my tears.
– Santigold "God from the Machine" – A very lonely pep talk for when your entire work team is letting you down.
– Wye Oak "Civilian" – You probably can't drink whisky at work but this will scratch that same itch. Excellent marching beat to keep you working as you internally shut down.
– Two Wounded Birds "To Be Young" – You woke up wanting to atomize yourself. It happens. But you're grown now and you still have a physical form that needs to be dragged through this garbled version of space and time, so you suck it up and get to work. But you don't have to be happy about it. That's why this song exists. Let the deceptive jangly guitars feed your inner optimist while the hopeless lyrics lick the wounds of your rapidly diminishing youth.

Clever thief scams restaurant patrons
Forgot to mention this the other day – but overheard on the Hoboken411 Live Police and Fire Action Channel….
Lesson: Pay attention, people
This past Thursday night, a crafty man posing as a "waiter" conned two groups of people at two different restaurants in town.
Victims described the guy as a mid-20's white male with spiked hair – wearing a typical waiter outfit (khakis, black button down shirt, etc.)
The first incident was over at Hobson's Choice at around 7:30pm – and the other two hours later at Margherita's. In both cases, the guy approached diners after they had completed the tab (money & check on table) – asked if they "needed anything else," then took the money and never returned.
I suppose this reminds you that during the course of your meal, you might want to observe who the employees are – and not just hand over money to anyone.
On the other hand, I told some of my friends about this incident, and they said "What a great idea this guy had!"
At least you can say the economic trouble we've been in can lead to creativity!

Ice Cube is preparing to do big things at Fox.
The rapper, actor, director, and producer inked a two-year deal with 20th Century Fox TV and Fox 21 TV Studios, THR reports.
Under the deal, Cube and longtime manager Jeff Kwatinetz will serve as exec producers on projects they develop and the studio will have the exclusive first right to produce these projects, which will include comedy, drama, and animation as well as unscripted and specials for broadcast, cable, and streaming platforms.
Additionally, the deal allows Fox to tap into Cube Vision's vast music publishing library for use in TV properties. 20th TV has found success with several music-centric series in recent years with Empire, Glee as well as the upcoming first-year girl group series Star.
"It's hard to think of a more multidimensional artist than Ice Cube, whose influence on the culture and enormous talent is virtually unrivaled," said Fox Television Group Chairmen and CEOs Dana Walden and Gary Newman. "He's a performer, a songwriter, a recording artist, an actor and a filmmaker, and his work speaks to a broad, multigenerational audience. We've been dying to be in business with him for years, and we think the combination of Cube and his incredibly talented producing partner Jeff Kwatinetz is going to result in some very compelling television."
Added Cube: "I'm very happy and excited to work with the talented and creative people at Fox. Their ability to bring groundbreaking television of every type through both cable and broadcast makes them the perfect partner for Cube Vision. We are happy to be part of the family."
The deal comes as Cube prepares to launch his remake of Hollywood Squares, aptly titled Hip-Hop Squares, in 2017 on VH1. He's found success as a producer in recent years with films including Straight Outta Compton – based on the early days of his group NWA – the Ride Along franchise in which he also stars with Kevin Hart, and the 2010 TV remake of his film Are We There Yet? He next stars in and exec produces the film Fist Fight, out next year. He is repped by Matt Johnson at Ziffren Brittenham.

Rashi Aditi Ghosh/ Zee Research Group
India's depressing girl child ratio has got worse with five of the nine states surveyed under the newly published Annual Health Survey (AHS) 2011-2012 recording further fall during the last two years.
The states to have observed a fall are Bihar, Uttarakhand, Jharkhand, Odisha and Rajasthan. According to AHS 2011-2012, Rajasthan and Uttarakhand at 875 and 880 sex ratio levels respectively emerged as the worst performers among the lot.
However, three states namely Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Uttar Pradesh performed relatively better on sex ratio count than they did in 2011. Assam has maintained its sex ratio level seeing no change since 2011 Census.
AHS is funded by the ministry of health and family welfare and implemented by the Office of Registrar General in all the 284 districts (as per 2001 Census) in eight Empowered Action Group States (Bihar, Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Rajasthan) and Assam. The fieldwork for AHS was carried out during November, 2011 to April, 2012. The nine states included in AHS 2011-2012 are the high focus states in view of their relatively higher fertility and mortality. These states account for about 50 percent of the total population, 60 percent of births, and over 70 percent of infant mortality, less than age five mortality and maternal mortality in the country.
While sex ratio in Jharkhand fell from 943 in 2011 to 938 in 2012, Bihar observed a slide from 933 in 2011 to 925 in 2012. The sex ratio has also fallen in Rajasthan from 883 in 2011 to 875 in 2012. The national sex ratio average as per Census 2011 was 940.
The data has disturbed the activist community. Dr Hemlata S Mohan, chairperson of Commission for Women, Jharkhand said, "Our inspection suggests that districts like Bokaro, Dhanbad and Jamshedpur have the worst sex ratio scenario. To tackle the same we have formulated a separate crisis intervention wing and through this wing we ensure the proper implementation of Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act (PC & PNDT) by conducting various capacity building workshops."
Similarly, Uttarakhand and Odisha also observed a decline in sex ratio from 886 to 880 and 934 to 932 respectively.
Commenting on the skewed sex ratio scenario in Uttarakhand, Sushila Baluni, chairperson of Commission for Women, Uttarakhand said, "According to our reports, districts like Haridwar and Dehradun have registered underperformance with respect to sex ratio. The declining sex ratio of the state as a whole is a matter of concern for the state and for the commission as well."
The UPA government has made claims in regard to having adopted a multi-pronged strategy entailing schemes and programmes and awareness generation/advocacy measures to build a positive environment for the girl child through gender sensitive policies, provision and legislation.
The Centre formulated the National Inspection and Monitoring Committee (NIMC) that conducts inspections of ultrasound diagnostic facilities. It reconstituted the Central Supervisory Board (CSB) under the PC & PNDT Act to put a check on the declining sex ratio in the country.
The Ministry of Women & Child Development has been running "Dhanalakshmi" – a scheme for conditional cash transfer for the gird child in seven states - since 2008-09. The scheme provides for cash transfer to the family of a girl child on fulfilling certain conditionality relating to registration of birth, immunization, enrolment and retention in school till class VIII; and an insurance coverage if the girl remains unmarried till the age of 18.
Many states like Bihar, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan have their specific schemes like Mukhya Mantri Kanya Suraksha Yojana, Mukhya Mantri Kanya Vivah Yojana, Mukhya Mantri Kanya Suraksha Yojana, Mukhya Mantri Kanya Vivah Yojana and Shubh Laxmi scheme respectively.
A look at the past depicts that sex ratio in India has shown a secular decline since the beginning of the twentieth century, barring some improvement during 1951, 1981, 2001 and 2011 Census.

Hot Pro Volleyball Player Sean Scott27 09 2008
Don't feel bad if you don't know who Sean Scott is. I didn't know who he was until just a short while ago myself. Sean Scott, known for his rock hard abs, is one of the biggest stars and best players on the AVP Pro Beach Volleyball Tour. Maybe I should start paying more attention to the volleyball sports. If the male volleyball players all look like this then it could become my favorite sport haha. Check out the video below of this hot dude in action…

Providing Smart digital solutions online since 2001. I am considered a true web technology expert. Having professional experience in a wide range of digital areas. Everything from Search Marketing, Video Marketing, Content creation, User Experience, application architecture, and web programming.
Understanding how users flow through the web and learning what drives users to interact online has been the cornerstone of what I do. The more seamless the process the better the user experience and the more likely they are to interact again and share their experiences.
After launching my first websites I quickly realized that to get traffic on your site you need to be able to market online. Research and using personal experimentation as to what are the most successful ways to effectively drive traffic to my websites, I was able to successfully build multiple success eCommerce sites. I used my expertise to provide Search Engine Marketing Services SEO to 100's of clients.
In the advent of Social Media in 2006, I had identified it as an excellent opportunity to drive traffic and connect with users. I created many successful sites that integrated with Myspace and then later into Facebook. I was able to monitize the traffic on several platforms, driving in some cases 10K+ clicks daily to the various platforms. I continued to perfect the art of Internet marketing and adapt to new technology and changes.
In 2008 I created my first YouTube video, and channel. Realizing that there was another great opportunity with video I have been experimenting with video marketing and video monization. Youtube being the second largest search engine has a very bright future. As technology progresses the trend has always been quicker, easier means of delivering content always wins out. Images beat out text as they are easier and quicker for us to process, videos beat out images being the most efficient means of getting content to users. As bandwidth increases, and more platforms that can even easier deliver videos become available videos will be the trend for the future.
Understanding technology provides a means to better connect with users.
Applications I've created have entertained, informed and engaged tens of millions of people. I have over billions of page views on various platforms, and have sent millions of click through visitors.
I have developed hundreds of web applications, from micro sites to enterprise level platforms.

But why does Plone have a much lower degree of brand awareness than Wordpress or Drupal for example? What defines Plone and what is the brand identity? What is our target group and how can we reach them? These are the questions Johanna will discuss.

Hollywood's sexiest young actors are in love and wanted everyone to know at MTV's Movie Awards, held last Saturday and airing Thursday.
Katie Holmes and her American Pie hunk Chris Klein did a lot of hand-holding, waist-holding and, well, other body part-holding. Tara Reid, also of American Pie, accompanied MTV's Carson Daly; he wore his classic black suit while she wore a very revealing black pantsuit with a wide-open front. But the award for couple of the evening went to Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. Gellar may have won two containers of gilded popcorn but her favorite prize was stealing kisses from her Prinze.
"When we were coming in there was this one girl I saw out of the corner of my eye who had this Freddie Prinze poster and all these pictures of every movie he's ever done," Gellar says. "And I'm hitting him, going, 'Look over there.' And she was crying and [it] was breaking my heart. And I thought to myself, 'I know what it must be like to be this girl and see this amazing person standing there and to love this man. And he's standing [so close].' So I sort of dragged him over."
Aside from young love, sequels were a big topic backstage. Samuel L. Jackson gushed that he gets to use his lightsaber in the second Star Wars prequel. George Lucas confirmed the report adding, "This film involves more Jedis and Samuel's got a great fight in the next one. That's all I can tell you."
Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss shared what little they knew about their highly anticipated Matrix sequels. "They haven't finished the scripts yet, so I don't know what I'm in for," Reeves explains. "But speaking with [writer/directors] Larry and Andrew Wachowski, they say, 'It's going to be insane.' So I'm looking forward to it." Moss, on the other hand, is enjoying her leisure time before getting back into the intense routine. "All I know is my workout routine for the next two Matrixes is going to be harder. That's why I'm doing nothing but eating until that time!"
Producer Joel Silver teases, "The stuff that we're doing in this next one is outrageous. Forget about special effects that have never been done before ? we're seeing how far we can take it."

I shouldn't laugh but can't help it,
I've dabbled in the weird and wonderful world of online dating, everyone is so fake, only want sex, plain weird, to old, to young or Want to wear my tights! The one date I managed to pull together that I felt interested in to meet the man turned out to be my ex pretending to be someone else, thankfully didn't meet him i would have punched his face in.
Im thinking its me, am I undateable that these men in the online dating world, don't see me as girlfriend material?
I'm so shy that in person if I'm approached by a male in a bar or club that is interested in me I literally hide in the toilets all evening. looking at ways to boost my confidence to be comfortable round the opposite sex even if it doesn't land me a partner it sure beats sitting on a toilet all night staring at my feet lol
So any tips or suggestions would be gratefully received.
Tips and advice?
Have an opinion?

Any more insults you want to throw at me? I usually find that people that insult others usually have issues within themselves. Who I am is me I can't change me, I can't change how others view me either, I only asked a question on how to improve my confidence and the stupid thing I did was ask online.

What Girls Said 1
Do you think if you understand men better and what they want it would make you a little less nervous? Not all guys are the same I had the exact same problem and I read a book it helped me so much. I keep recommending it here because all the questions I see can be helped with it. The main idea is for men to respect you. Not to think you're too high maintenance or too psychotic followed up by too needy and insecure. You also don't want to come across too independent and confident either. It helped me find the middle ground the right amount of praise confidence etc - the book is why men love bitches and not bitch in the term we use it. I found it brilliant and so have friends00|00|0

Vision - A world where all children are inspired and empowered to fulfill their individual potential.
To provide an individualized learning environment where the unique talents of bright, motivated and creative children are recognized and nurtured. By design, our flexible programming also enables all types of gifted children to flourish and reach their highest potential. Spring Hill students become tenacious learners and empathetic humanitarians who engage their world with humble confidence.
In the mid-1970's, Lewis Keizer came to the realization that one of his children was profoundly gifted. He was dismayed to discover that local schools were ill-equipped to provide gifted education and there was simply no place for gifted children in Santa Cruz County. So, he joined with Tess Popper to found Popper-Keizer: The Advanced School for Gifted Children with this mission:
To provide a challenging and rewarding education for bright and gifted children.
To make this education opportunity available to bright and gifted children of all
races, creeds, colors, and religions by providing scholarships.
To sponsor cultural events that generate funding for scholarships.
In the ensuing twenty years, Popper-Keizer created and fine-tuned a very successful curriculum and teaching methodology for bright and gifted children.
When Popper and Keizer departed in 1997, teacher Sylvie Hill took over as Principal. In keeping with Santa Cruz's strong egalitarian culture, Sylvie and her staff sought to broaden the diversity of the student body while still honoring the founding commitment of the school: to provide a much-needed place where teachers understand how to enable gifted students to reach their fullest potential. The school was renamed "Spring Hill - The Advanced Elementary School of Santa Cruz."
Now, almost twenty years later, the Spring Hill community is taking stock of its core principles, vision, and mission once again. Our founding commitment to provide for the needs of gifted children remains a element of our identity and mission. But today with the deep lessons of nearly forty years, we understand more than ever that gifts, talents, aptitudes, and learning styles come in many forms, not just those measurable by an IQ test; and all of our students benefit from learning in the company of this diversity of strengths.
Spring Hill does not claim to be able to address the needs of all students, as many students need forms of learning support that Spring Hill may not be equipped to provide. But our differentiated instruction program, small class size, and warm family environment empower and inspire all types of bright, motivated and creative students to flourish and meet their highest potential. Today more than ever, Spring Hill School is a diverse and inclusive community of learners, and we've updated the Mission, Vision, and name to reflect this.

Nuts & Volts Categories:
A: The first issue of Nuts & Volts was published in 1980. It was originally designed as a newsprint, all advertising publication that was mostly given away. Over the next few years, the magazine continued to grow in readership and advertising, however, not much changed until February 1992 when NV was changed to a tabloid format and started to make the shift to a more content-oriented publication. New editorial features were added along with monthly columns and projects for electronics DIYers. Since then, it has grown into one of the most popular and relevant magazines for the electronics hobbyist in the nation. Beginning with the January 2003 issue, Nuts & Volts was reformatted from a tabloid size back to a standard magazine size. NV now averages about 100 pages and is printed on high-quality paper in full color.
Nuts & Volts is the leading magazine for those seriously interested in electronics. There now remain only a few magazines written for the electronics community with Nuts & Volts being the highest readership, longest running electronics publication left in the US today. And we still have readers and advertisers that have been with us since the early 80s.
Nuts & Volts is written for the hands-on hobbyist, design engineer, technician, and experimenter.

Heartland of Columbia Rehab and Nursing Center
Talk to a Family Advisor:
Reviews of Heartland of Columbia Rehab and Nursing Center
Georgiagg September 07, 2015
I am a friend or relative of resident
My father was at this facility for 2 months. They treated my father like he was a nuisance. Tried to give him a sleep aid or pain med to keep him asleep. Very rude overnight staff that was understaffed. Some people were nice but some were lazy and downright rude. Never answered the phone. Physical therapy staff was great. It was the CNAs that were unsatisfactory.
Caring96940250 December 23, 2014
I am a friend or relative of a resident
My dad was happy at Heartland. It was neat and clean, and they were so nice and kind. They would call and take phone calls. He was there for physical therapy. I would recommend this place.
Bebe123 June 18, 2013
I am a friend or relative of resident
My family member is currently there to have therapy, however meals are terrible "It's not Burger king" this comment from therapist. Call light rings for hours. No one ever available at nurses station, Lose clothing. Regular bathing not done. Hair hasn't been washed since admission(weeks) even after asking multiple times for them to wash it. Trash not taken out regularly finally had to start piling it up in bathroom. Don't change linens. Just turn it over so you can't see it. Communication poor between staff members. Rude when you try to talk with them. Hard to get assistance from chair back to bed. Some nights have to sleep in chair. Don't see staff unless its mealtime to bring tray in room or medication time. Not checked on regularly. My family member will be discharged VERY soon due to poor care he is getting at this nursing center.
Paris1 September 21, 2011
I visited this facility
It smelled REALLY good when I went to visit. I noticed that Heartland didnt have a suggestion box/quality indicator survey in sight. Normally when I visit a nursing home they atleast have this option for visitors to share their opinion. However, they do have a full sprinkler system, they house 132 residents but only has 122 of the beds filled which is more than 90% full. Thats a great thing.

God's Plan in the Service (part 2)
Expand Messages
- (Continuation of the message of HG Bishop Youssef)
God's Plan in the Service (part 2)
3) The Evangelists - those who carry the good news of the gospel to everyone
in the world.
God gave some to be evangelists to fulfill the mission of the church to be
evangelical. If the church is not evangelizing there is something missing in
it because evangelism should be one third of the church ministry. Everyone
of us could be an evangelist in charge of preaching the gospel of the Lord
Jesus Christ to the whole world (Mark 16:15).
4) Pastors are the shepherds who nurture their flock. Their ministry is
devoted to the spiritual care of the flock and to bring back the lost sheep.
In (Ezek 34:4) we read about five categories of the Lost Sheep, (the weak,
the sick, the broken, the strayed, and the lost).
5) Teachers - to keep the doctrine true and sound, in order to edify and
build the church of God in sound faith (1 Tim 3:15) and to equip the saints
for the work of the ministry.
Many people are evangelizing bringing lost sheep and taking care of their
people but if they do not have the right doctrine they are not true
teachers, they are not building the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
By H.G. Bishop Youssef
Bishop, Coptic Orthodox Diocese of the Southern United States
- Christ Is Risen! Truly He Is Risen!
"The Savior comes in various forms to each man for his profit. For to those
who have need of gladness He becomes a Vine; and to those who want to enter
in He stands as a Door; and to those who need to offer up their prayers He
stands a mediating High Priest. Again, to those who have sins He becomes a
Sheep, that He may be sacrificed for them. He is made all things to all men,
remaining in His own nature what He is."
St. Cyril of Jerusalem.
"Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who
prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass."
Psalm 37:7

Good Job, Metro !
It's not often that we get to say something nice about Houston public transportation systemMetro
, so we can't pass up the chance to say,"Good job, Metro!"
Why the kudos? Metro's Northwest Transit Center has been dim and dark (and dangerous, we expect) after nightfall for the last several months due to more than 50 percent of the Center's lights being out. In November, the outage rate started going even higher until just before Christmas when we counted eight out of every ten lights out. That's pretty dismal.
But last night we saw that all the burned-out bulbs had been replaced and the Center was awash in bright, cheerful light. Way to go, Metro! One happy customer told us, "I'm so glad they got the lights on. I didn't even know there was a soda machine in the middle of the courtyard, it was always so dark. Tonight I saw they have two!"
Hmmm, maybe the money Metro is getting from cutting out all those fare discounts is going to do some good after all. It bought a round of light bulbs, at least. -- Olivia Flores Alvarez

This page will continue to be a work in progress, until it isn't. But what can you do?
I tend to be a little reserved when around people I don't know all that well, but I get more gregarious once I've had time to get comfortable. Expect sarcasm and puns in roughly equal measure.
As to general attitude, I used to be a "t-shirt and jeans" guy, but moved on to "t-shirt, slacks, and an overshirt" (aka "business lazy"), though I don't have a problem throwing on a suit and tie or just a blazer if things need a little class.
A lazy afternoon reading or catching up with friends is more interesting than a long hike to me, but suggest something to pass the time and I'll likely be interested.
I'm an avowed geek and I work in the video game industry, so I tend to be up on the latest happenings, even if I don't play a whole lot at home anymore and don't touch MMOs with a ten-foot pole. If you've got similar interests, great! If not, that's also great. Different strokes for different folks.
I read a lot, I keep up to date on all sorts of things, and I enjoy my coworkers, so life certainly isn't as stressful as it could be. All in all, I'm enjoying myself, but I'm certainly capable of admitting that there's room for more.
Apparently I give good hugs, but I wouldn't know.
I'm rather tall, or so I'm frequently told (by short people).
Movies / TV: I've been without cable for a couple of years and my TV reception is awful, so I've learned to live without TV pretty well. That said, Hulu keeps me up-to-date on Parks & Rec and The Daily Show. Other shows I enjoy are Community, Archer, Sons of Anarchy (though it's kind of gone off the rails last season), and Breaking Bad. RIP 30 Rock.
Music: If it's got a beat, I'll probably listen to it.
Food: It says "Mostly anything" over on the side there, and that's about the size of it. Sushi? Yes! Thai? Okay, if it's not too spicy... You can put pineapple in anything and it would be an improvement. I prefer a decent restaurant to a loud bar, but fast food and/or takeout is a viable alternative. The best orange chicken comes from the holiest of hole-in-the-wall Chinese places.
I'm currently on a quest for the perfect Fish & Chip. If you've got suggestions, I'm all ears.
Lately I've been attempting to cut caffeine out of my evening meals, and coincidentally go a teensy bit healthier about what's going into my body.
The necessary apparatuses to read (eyes, glasses, etc.)
A sense of humor
Not caffeine anymore. I am sad about it.
thing 6*
*TBD, as per my whim.
You happily call yourself a nerd/geek of any sort.
You're a firm believer in the Oxford Comma.
You're quick to catch the perfect moment for a "That's what she said!"
If you listed Ayn Rand or one of her works in your favorites section, I'm going to give you a long hard appraising eyebrow. I get to admit to being a snob about something, right?

"Joan Crawford Week!" concludes at Trailers from Hell with producer-director Dan Ireland's introduction to Frank Perry's Razzie winner "Mommie Dearest," starring Faye Dunaway as ferocious momma Crawford.
"No wire hangers, ever!" Joan Crawford once noted in an early 70s interview that among current actresses only Faye Dunaway had "what it takes" to become a true star. Faye repaid the compliment by portraying Joan in this movie based on daughter Christina Crawford's tell-all book about the dysfunctional household she grew up in with her mercurial movie star mom. Despite its numerous "Razzie" awards for Worst Picture it's developed a rabid fan following over the years.

Government network protection at American Systems
ForeScout Technologies
: 23 June, 2009
(Application Story)
US IT support and consultancy support company for Government departments takes CounterACT network access control from ForeScout
ForeScout Technologies has announced that American Systems, an IT solutions provider, has standardised on CounterACT for network visibility and access control across its enterprise. With this announcement, American Systems joins ForeScout's growing list of US customers.
American Systems is a federal contractor with clients such as the US navy; US army; Department of State; FAA, and others. With 17 office locations and 125 field sites, American Systems provides consulting services and IT support for federal government initiatives surrounding command, control, communications, intelligence, readiness, surveillance and national security. Given its federal focus and integration with sensitive government agencies, network security for American Systems' employees and customers is a mission-critical priority.
"Protecting US federal infrastructure as a national security priority will soon become the corporate mandate of federal contractors nationwide," said Brian Neely, Chief Technology Officer at American Systems. "As a trusted government contractor, American Systems continues to work 'ahead of the security curve' and adhere to the highest security standards, leveraging technologies such as ForeScout's CounterACT to deter, prevent, detect, and defend against cyber attacks and eliminate network vulnerabilities."
Wesley Ward, Information Security Manager at American Systems added: "CounterACT is an ideal NAC solution for our federal contractor network; it plugs into our heterogeneous infrastructure, enabling us to gain instant visibility and control of the network while leveraging our existing systems investment."
"CounterACT's multi-faceted alerting and reporting system has made it our solution of choice for WAN-wide compliance enforcement and training," Ward continued. "For example, our corporate policy prohibits the use of public IM and
applications on corporate assets. CounterACT identifies vulnerable out-of-compliance clients, and remediates them."
CounterACT has the ability to see and control every connected IP device down to the switch port. It provides complex policies to enable and enforce security processes and standards, performs access control without the need to first deploy 802.1x, and enforces actions such as peer-to-peer shutdown, post-connection monitoring for threat prevention, and detection/blocking of banned devices - such as USBs, where needed.
Since the original implementation, CounterACT has been used to automate the enforcement of corporate and government IT policy, automatically alerting end-users who are in violation of these use policies, informing them of the consequences and taking necessary action as deemed appropriate by the organisation to remove banned software, etc. CounterACT also combines clientless network access control (NAC) and signatureless intrusion prevention to ensure all connected and connecting devices are in compliance with network security policies and are free of self-propagating threats.
"In times such as these when cyber attacks such as those on the NYPD, Dalai Lama, the Pentagon's Joint Strike Fighter and the US electrical grid are becoming a more regular occurrence, federal government agencies - and their suppliers - must adopt measures to improve enterprise network security," said Gord Boyce, President of ForeScout. "However, the rip-and-replacement of network infrastructure at the expense of American taxpayers is the last thing our government offices and agencies should do. As we have proven with the American Systems application, CounterACT can easily mesh into already existing, stabilised heterogeneous IT infrastructures thereby bringing immediate protection, enforcement and training value that is unsurpassed in the industry today."
If you are interested in learning more about how government agencies are protecting their IT assets today, please accept our invitation to join us to for an upcoming webinar, "Gaining Visibility and Control of the Dynamic Network with NAC" on Wednesday, 24 June 2009, at 5:00PM (BST). Speakers will include William Sieglein, CSO Breakfast Club CEO and Former CSO of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board; Steven Cooper, Strativest Founder and former CIO of Homeland Security; and Don Byrne, ForeScout Technologies Federal Director.

Review of the 2014 Bank Failures and Their Effects on Depositors
The frequency of bank failures continued to trend down in 2014. The year 2014 ended with 18 bank closures. That's a decline in the number that failed in 2013 when 24 banks failed. It's the fourth straight year of declining bank failures. If you were a reader of this blog back in 2010, you probably remember my Friday bank failure posts. Almost every Friday multiple banks failed. Things have changed quite a bit. In 2014 there were months with no bank failures. It's a sign that economic normalcy is returning which will eventually lead to higher deposit rates.
The summary below shows the number of bank closures per year since 2005:
- 2005: 0
- 2006: 0
- 2007: 3
- 2008: 25
- 2009: 140
- 2010: 157
- 2011: 92
- 2012: 51
- 2013: 24
- 2014: 18
Most of the 2014 bank failures were little-known community banks. One trend that started in 2010 and has continued through 2014 is that fewer large banks are failing. In 2014 there were no banks that failed with assets of at least $1 billion. The largest bank that failed was The National Republic Bank of Chicago which had total assets at the time of closure of $954 million. In 2011 there were seven failed banks with assets over $1 billion, and in 2010 there were 23. The largest bank that failed was in 2008 when WaMu was closed. It had $307 billion in assets. WaMu still holds the record for the largest U.S. bank to fail.
Out of the 18 banks that failed in 2014, 10 had assets under $100 million. Only 3 had assets of over $200 million. The smallest had only $19 million in assets.
The small size of the 2014 bank failures helped keep down the cost to the FDIC Deposit Insurance Fund (DIF). The FDIC reported a DIF balance of $54.3 billion at the end of Q3 in 2014. This is up considerably from the previous year when the DIF balance was $40.8 billion. The FDIC reported a DIF balance of negative $7.4 billion at the end of 2010. At the end of 2008 when it was clear that many banks had to be closed, the FDIC increased the premiums it charged banks for deposit insurance. With the number and size of failed banks going down, this should lead to lower premiums which will make it a little easier for banks to offer higher deposit rates.
States with the Most Failures
With 5 bank failures, Illinois had more bank failures in 2014 than any other state. Maryland and Oklahoma were the only other two states with multiple failures (both had two). Since the start of the financial crisis in 2008, there have been 88 bank failures in Georgia, 71 in Florida and 61 in Illinois.
Below is a graph showing the number of banks that failed in each state during 2014:
|Number of 2014 bank failures
Failed Banks That Weren't Acquired by Other Banks
For the previous years since the financial crisis, the FDIC has been able to find buyers for the vast majority of banks that failed. In those cases, the acquiring banks assumed all regular deposits including amounts over the FDIC limit. So for most people who had deposits over the FDIC limit at these failed banks, they were lucky. No uninsured deposits were lost. The only exception was brokered deposits. It was common that the acquiring banks did not assume some brokered deposits. The banks probably didn't see any benefit from assuming these types of deposits since there are no relationships with the depositors.
All of the 18 banks that failed in 2014 were acquired by another bank. That was good news for depositors since that means no bank depositor lost any money in 2014 due to a bank failure. In 2013, only one of the 24 banks that failed wasn't acquired.
The Loss of High CD Rates When Your Bank Fails
The main issue for depositors when banks fail is the loss of the high interest rate on their existing CDs. By law the acquiring banks are allowed to lower the interest rates on existing CDs. Most of the acquiring banks in 2014 did make use of this allowance. The depositors are free to close the CDs without a penalty, but in today's interest rate environment, it's impossible to replace those CDs with new ones with the same high rates.
Most of the acquiring banks didn't publicly announced their policy on the existing CDs from the failed banks. For most of the bank failures in 2014, the FDIC just provided the following about interest rates:
Interest on deposits accrued through close of business the day the bank was closed will be paid at your same rate. Current rates will be reviewed by the new bank and may be lowered; however, you may withdraw funds from any transferred account without early withdrawal penalty until you enter into a new deposit agreement.
Credit Union Liquidations
There were 12 credit union liquidations in 2014. Unlike banks, we didn't see a spike of credit union failures in the financial crisis. The number of failures haven't changed much in the last few years. In 2013 14 credit unions failed, and in 2012 15 failed.
One of the 12 failed credit unions was privately insured. This is the third privately insured credit union to fail since 2011. These were credit unions that were insured by American Share Insurance (ASI) without any deposit insurance from the NCUA. Like the previous failures, the ASI arranged for another credit union to assumed all of failed credit union's share account liabilities (deposits). Thus, no member lost any money.
Out of the 11 federally insured credit unions that failed in 2014, three were tiny credit unions with assets under $1 million. Only 6 had assets over $10 million. The largest one had $51 million in assets. This was St. Francis Campus Credit Union of Little Falls, Minnesota, and its closure was the subject of an FBI investigation.
What To Expect for 2015?
I think it's likely that we'll see fewer bank failures in 2015. The number of bank failures was trending down in 2014. The first half had 12 bank failures, and the second half had only 6 failures.
In the FDIC's Q3 report, the number of "problem" banks declined from 354 to 329. The previous year number had been 515. The FDIC doesn't disclose the banks on this list or the specific criteria it uses to place banks on this list. There are ways that we can make guesses about which banks may be on this list.
There are 401 banks on Calculated Risk's unofficial problem bank list. Last year there were 619 banks on the list. This list is based on publicly available enforcement actions that regulators have released or that have been reported by banks' SEC filings..
In our bank health ratings page, we have a list of the banks with the worst Texas Ratios. The Texas Ratio is an industry standard for calculating the health of a bank, but is not the only factor to consider. Our data is based on Q3 2014 financial data from the FDIC. A Texas Ratio over 100% is considered at risk.
