James Franco reveals he doesn't get (or care) how the internet works
James Franco has turned his celebrity into something of a spectator sport — both wittingly and (probably) without meaning to. So he couldn't have been too surprised when David Letterman chose to broach the topic of his Instagram account on The Late Show Thursday night.

Selfies, which is not a word I use naturally in my real life, are a way of taking ownership of my body and deciding how I want to be seen.
5 rules for taking #selfies on Instagram (if you must)
First, let's define what a selfie is. Just so we're clear: 1. It's a picture with your face in it. 2. You took the photo yourself. Another human being was not involved.3. It is shared on the internet — Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, or whatever.
Now, the rules:
Essentially, ask yourself, "What would Kim Kardashian do?" Then do the opposite.

Pittsburgh Penguins' general manager Jim Rutherford certainly has a full plate heading towards the date of Jul. 1.
And for that matter, the rest of the offseason.
Having yet to announce the team's next head coach, Rutherford is in the process of interviewing candidates. And although he hasn't focused on anything other than naming his new head coach, he has given us a taste of what to expect for the draft on Jun. 27.
Pittsburgh is set to select 22nd, which is reminiscent because that's when the organization took defenseman Olli Maatta back in 2012. However, unlike Maatta's position, Rutherford is thinking offense for their first-round selection.
According to Dave Molinari of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Rutherford has made it clear that he intends to take a forward in this year's crop. Here's what he said, per Molinari:
"We're going to really lean toward a forward at this time." he said. "My preference is take a forward."
Pittsburgh's system is flourished with young defensemen, and, believe it or not, they've got some fine prospect goaltenders beyond Jeff Zatkoff. So, it makes sense they're in line to nab a forward.
Right now, the Pens have some promising forwards – Beau Bennett, Brian Gibbons, Jayson Megna, Anton Zlobin, etc. – but the time will come when some of their older players depart. Craig Adams will surely be gone next summer, and Pascal Dupuis and Chris Kunitz's contracts will be up after the next two seasons.
Building a stable group of young forwards is the right move.

Greetings all,History:Last Friday my home network went off-line for the first time in 9 months for no apparent reason. After a hour or so of diagnostics, reboots, restarts, etc... I connected my laptop directly to the Comcast modem and found out that my IP Address changed for the first time in over a year. Not a big deal, after all that is what DHCP is suppose to do.However, I was unable to get a IP address into my router, but my laptop can get and IP just fine. I cloned my MAC address from my laptop to the router and I got a IP instantly, but if I turn off cloning I loose the IP address. I swapped from my Cisco router to a Linksys, same thing occurred. I swapped from my Linksys to and old D-link same thing occurred. I tried cloning my Desktop computer's MAC and I was unable to get a IP from Comcast. We tried both of my room-mates computers MAC's and those too failed. I contacted Comcast and explained the problem that the router was not being issued an IP address and that I couldn't get online. They started in with the whole "did you restart your router? Have you changed your configurations?" blah blah blah. I told them it worked just fine before last Friday when I was issued a new IP address via DHCP. And I explained that I could get online if I cloned my Laptops MAC into the router. They told me that was what I was suppose to do. I told them that I didn't want to do that because I didn't want to have THAT MAC address blocked too because it was the only one working. They just told me that I would have to contact their home networking division. Who appearently is not available for comment (well at least they dont answer their phone.) Problem: Currently I am connected to the internet using my Laptop's MAC... but now, I cannot connect my Laptop via wired connection because of conflicts between my laptops burned in MAC and my routers cloned MAC.Question: Clearly Comcast is doing some serious MAC address filtering. So how the hell do I get a MAC address that will allow me an IP address from Comcast, and allow my Laptop to connect to the network wired so I can transfer files to and from my desktop?
The modem will remember the last device plugged in, and you're only allowed 1 MAC, so you'll need to clear the modem of the laptop MACPower off the modem and disconnect any devices plugged into it.Wait 1 minute before restoring power to the modem.Plug in your router.Reconnect your other devices to the router. You should have an IP now.If you don't, it could be that the router is bad, repeat the power off procedure trying another router.
1) shut down all PC's, shut off router, shut off modem (if emta remove battery also)2) plug router's ethernet into modem3) connect PC(s) to router4) turn on modem, wait for sync5) turn on router6) turn on PC(s)No cloning needed, whenever you switch devices connected to router you need to turn off and restart modem, otherwise it will not recognize the "new" device.optional: instead of using dhcp, set your pc's to use a static address, usually 192.168.1.x with the gateway 192.168.1.1 (check router documentation since some use 192.169.0.x instead of 1.x).--a mind is a terrible thing...
infact it is suggestted that the customer never remove the battery. that reset button on an EMTA is ment for the causal resets.--[65 Arcanist]Filan(High Elf) Zone: Broadband Reports
resetting the emta with the reset button should be the last resort cause by doing that,the emta resets to the original factory config and whatever updates on the firmware that were downloaded will be erased.
I have never seen an MTA lose firmware updates when reseting it.
That did the trick. It was the battery. I didn't even know that modem had one. Once I pulled the battery, unplugged the thing and reset everything, my router was able to get back online all on its own. Because Comcast installed the modem, I didn't get any instruction manual, so I had nothing to refer to, but appearantly the thing has a battery that will last for 8 hours or so, so that my phones will work for a while in the event of power outage. I find it disturbing and slightly alarming that the Comcast tech I talked to, didn't know to pull the battery, or that pulling the battery was the solution.
On a different, but related note: Anyone have any idea why the modem decided to dump or block the MAC address originally? I wouldn't think that an IP change via DHCP would have anything to do with that.
Modems will usually remember the last item's MAC address that was connected.If you change items without resetting/powercycling, the MAC will be different than what is in memory and connectivity will be denied.Resetting or powercycling will erase the memory and it will have to remember the new item.Should work fine then. --Think outside the Fox... Opera
I was in class at the college when my IP address changed here at the house. There was nobody home to cycle the power on either the router or the modem. Yet it blocked the MAC address and wouldn't give a new IP address. It picked up my laptops MAC address hours after the system was effected, and then locked that MAC in and wouldn't accept any other.So why did it drop and block my router MAC in the first place?I am just trying to understand everything that happened so that I can be prepared for the next time things go to hell.
1 recommendation
Ah... upgrade.Upgrade = instability and wackyness ensuesGot it.Thanks alot everyone for your help.
Comcast can reset modems from their side - usually.A power "hiccup" could have occurred.Unknown.Either way, a reset or powercycle would have fixed it(still will if it ever happens again).YOU HAVE TO ERASE THE MEMORY or no other machine's MAC will be accepted.Resetting or powercycling is the only way to erase the memory.--Think outside the Fox... Opera
Hi Nivar, I posted this as a new post before I saw yours -- it sounds like the same thing and we are both in the Pacific Northwest. --We have the Comcast Triple Play. It has been reliable since we got it several months ago. Today the internet connection suddenly disappeared. I will not bore you with the blow-by-blow detail of the two calls to Comcast and the 27 shutdown/startups of the PC, nor the myriad router power cycles and resets. Of the two Comcast excuses, one was old "your router messed up" and one was new "your PC booted up too fast."I had to call Comcast back on a cell phone because we have phone service from them. In order to get the PC to connect, they had to reset their modem box from their side, which would have ended the phone call. After they did that, the direct connection to the PC started working. But the router still couldn't get an IP address from Comcast.What I ended doing was to upgrade the router firmware, reset it back to factory defaults, and clone the MAC address. Then it finally started working. It took half a day. The exercise also included my husband going out and buying a new router because I had despaired of ever getting it working again, then taking the new router back because I had fixed it by the time he got home.We speculate that Comcast reconfigured something, then somehow wouldn't reprovision the router. It had to reprovision the PC directly. Will never know for sure.
well this is interesting indeed. Yesterday my comcast connection exhibited the same symptoms. I called comcast, no help. When plugging the cable modem directly into the computer worked, comcast declared their duty fulfilled. However, our router couldnt get a connection. so thinking we had a bad router, we bought a new WRT54G... same thing. so we replaced the motorola surfboard modem that comcast gave us with an RCA one from comcast... same thing. But cloning the mac address of a computer on the network solved the problem. our 3 macs, 2 windows machines, and 2 linux machines all got their internet back at once.Weird... same place, same time, same problem. I agree... comcast changed something somewhere and things went haywire...

How to easily (and cheaply) capture dietary mercuryMercury is the most easily-captured heavy metal of all. In any laboratory environment, mercury is well known to be a "sticky" element because it sticks to instrument tubing and vials. If I place a known quantity of mercury in a vial of nitric acid and water, for example, a measurement of the vial shows less mercury than should be present because some of that mercury sticks to the walls of the very instrument used to carry out the testing.
Interestingly, it turns out that mercury is also "sticks" to certain dietary fibers. In particular, my research has found that insoluble fruit fibers are extremely effective at capturing mercury during digestion. Mercury is unique in this way, as such fibers are very poor at binding with lead, cadmium, arsenic and other metals. But they stick to mercury like glue.
As part of my research into this phenomenon, I tested many dietary fibers, including psyllium husk fiber, guar gum, vegetable fibers and fruit fibers. The most effective fruit fiber of all was -- believe it or not -- strawberry fibers. (See full list below for the mercury binding effectiveness of various foods.)
Until today, nobody has known this seemingly simple fact, and even I didn't know it until I conducted this research. Now, I'm freely passing on the knowledge to you in the hopes that you will share it with others: Eat strawberries to block dietary mercury!
Captures over 95% of dietary mercuryIn my tests, strawberries were able to capture over 95% of all the mercury added to the gastric acid solution in a human digestion simulator.
This effect was also confirmed for freeze-dried strawberries but not strawberry juice because pure juice lacks fibers (pulp).
Why strawberries? Because strawberries are the only common fruit with seeds on the outside. Under a microscope, you can see that each tiny strawberry seed is connected to the center of the strawberry via a bundle of plant fibers. These fibers, it turns out, are incredibly strong and are not easily digested in human digestion. They pass through you largely intact, much like psyllium husk fibers or insoluble vegetable fibers.
Isolated under a microscope, these strawberry fibers are alsotranslucent, by the way. And what's really amazing is that they even resist digestion with nitric acid. Somehow, these fibers are amazingly strong and resilient, yet nearly invisible to the naked eye.
In the gastrointestinal tract, they function as "mercury sponges" that mop up mercury with amazing efficiency.
Even better than green grassesIn my laboratory testing, strawberries worked even better at binding to mercury than green grasses such as barley grass or wheat grass (see the full chart below).
This is great news for those who want healthy eating options which are also great-tasting. Simply eat some strawberries with your meal to mop up most of the mercury found in whatever else you ate (such as sushi, tuna, ocean fish, etc.).
If you don't like strawberries, you can use other fruits such as citrus fruits (eaten raw and whole, of course, with all the fibers intact). The next best fruits after strawberries are citrus fruits, followed by apples and pears.

text: HP laptop with Intel i2350 chip, Windows 7 Pro. I have had this machine about 9 months. Always hibernate when not in use, only reboot when Windows installs updates. Never had an issue until a couple days ago when it came out of hibernate with no video. Once the hard disk activity stopped I tried ctrl-alt-del but nothing happened. Had to force a shutdown by holding the power button. Then it rebooted normally (although the screen came up saying Windows had shut down unexpectedly). Today it did the same thing. Normally I only use the laptop a few times a week but am on vacation so it's being used, i.e., coming out of hibernate mode, 6-8 times/day.Does this sound like a hardware or software issue? I should note that I have not made any system (software or hardware) changes recently.

Panther Thoughts From The Offseason

NFL Scoreboard

Team STATS

Team Roster
Team Injuries
I was out of town for a few days this week for a family matter and no one there wanted to hear what I had to say about the Panthers. I had to hold it in. Until now.
1) Rivera says Panthers only have to replace 10 catches a game from WRs. Statistically that is correct. But, can the group we have next year make the big catches that Steve Smith made on 3rd and 4th down? Can they block downfield like Smitty and Brandon Lafell. Will anyone bring the on field swagger that Smitty brought?
2) Rivera says it could be Bell at LT and G. Williams or Chandler at RT. Makes me hope the Panthers take an OT early in the Draft. That lineup could result in the Cats getting worse at LT, RT and RG. And, this O-Line was already a weakness a year ago.
3) Roman Harper can at least tackle. For all my worries about Harper in coverage at safety, I am damn sure he can handle the in the box tackling. According to Pro Football Focus, he is the only Defensive Player with more than 15 tackles who did not miss a tackle. But, can he stay healthy?
4) This Hardy thing could get sketchy. Sounds like there hasn't been much movement in long term deal talks with The Kraken. That is bad on multiple fronts. One, it could help free up more cap money right now. And, two, if you have to franchise him again next year, the fee goes up 25 percent to almost $16 million.
5) Those comments by Rivera about Smitty were honest, but I don't know if they will help the cause next season when the two parties meet in Baltimore. Questioning his speed and whether or not he will wear down, seem like they could lead to some extra "blood and guts."

I came across an article that introduced the concept of using packer software to hide an executable file in another

Can anyone recommend a legit/safe packer that I can use for my testing purpose? Thanks.

Sean Patrick Nolin (born December 26, 1989) is an American professional baseball pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays of Major League Baseball.
Nolin was drafted by the Toronto Blue Jays in the sixth round of the 2010 MLB Entry Draft out of San Jacinto Junior College.[1] He had originally been selected by the Milwaukee Brewers in the fiftieth round of the 2008 Major League Baseball Draft, and by the Seattle Mariners in the forty-eighth round of the 2009 Major League Baseball Draft, but did not sign either time.[2]
Nolin missed the first month of the 2013 baseball season with a groin injury suffered during spring training.[3] On May 23, 2013, it was announced that Nolin would be called up to the Major Leagues to start on May 24, 2013 against the Baltimore Orioles.[4] He was formally called up on May 24 when J. A. Happ was transferred to the 60-day disabled list.[5] Nolin took the loss in his debut, pitching 11⁄3 innings and giving up 6 earned runs and one walk. He was optioned back to Double-A New Hampshire following the 10–6 loss.[6] Nolin was ranked as the number 5 prospect in the Blue Jays organization on July 26, 2013, when the revised Top 100 Prospects list was released.[7] Nolin was promoted to the Triple-A Buffalo Bisons on August 17.[8] Nolin was optioned to the Buffalo Bisons on March 16, 2014. He posted a 4–7 record in the minors in 2014, with an ERA of 3.43 and 88 strikeouts over 97 innings pitched.[9]
Nolin was called up to the Blue Jays on September 1, as part of the September roster expansion.[10] He would make just 1 appearance for Toronto in 2014, pitching 1 inning of relief on September 22.
Pitching style[edit]
Nolin's fastball runs in the high-80s to low-90s in MPH and he also throws a curveball (72-75 MPH), changeup (low-80s in MPH), and slider.[11][12]

text: hello? hello? the trickle down theory doesn't work. perhaps it IS aptly named as tiny crumbs do not help an economy. some idiot on tv is spouting the same stupidity about not taxing the rich because they won't create jobs if they are taxed more they are not taxed highly now and they are not creating jobs. demand is low because many of those working folks aren't paid enough to buy enough crap with real money as opposed to plastic. anyway getting more people to buy stuff is not sustainable. you can only fill a balloon so much before it pops. but what do i know?

Windsurfing News
- 11 August 2014 | Windsurfing
Levi Siver delivered a spectacular wave sailing show to clinch the Pacasmayo Classic 2014, in Peru.
The Pro finals got underway in impeccable swell conditions, with mast-high waves rolling through the Peruvian surfing arena. The final had Kevin Pritchard and Levi Siver fighting for points and prize money, in a nerve-racking 30-minute clash.
Siver opened Pacasmayo Classic 2014 showdown with a fantastic ride scored at 8.60, but Pritchard wasn't ready to give up. He kept improving his overall score, until Levi decided to complete one of the best waves of the contest - an 8.60-point ride in his last attempt.
- 11 August 2014 | Windsurfing
Philip Köster and Daida Moreno are the champions of the 2014 Dunkerbeck-Eyewear Siam Park Tenerife PWA World Cup, held at El Médano.
The German windsurfer continued his dominance of El Cabezo to move up to second overall in the world rankings. He may well defend his PWA wave world title.
"I didn't land my double planing, but it was a good one and a solid start to the heat, I also got my best wave of the contest in the super final, so I was super happy. It feels great to win again, and I'm super stoked," says Philip Köster.
- 09 August 2014 | Windsurfing
It's one of the worst things that can happen after a long windsurfing session. When the mast gets stuck or blocked by a few grains of sand, you'll know you need to do something before going home.
Many people give up and will keep their giant mast out in the garden. In one piece. Stuck masts can last forever, but they're definitely not portable at all.
Windsurf masts get blocked when they're rigged in the beach, before each windsurfing session. A couple of hours later, when you're tired and surfed out, you've got a problem in your hands. Are you driving with a giant mast on the roof of your car?

I really slacked on the blogging didn't I?! Man! All I can say is that it's been a very busy week full of a lot of hiking and still trying to get my Insanity workouts in. Tough battle I must say!
Things otherwise are great as I'm making some wonderful friends through the various groups I work with and I'm definitely learning a lot. As long as I've lived near this area there are so many things I have yet to learn about the birds, botany and everything else! The naturalist I work with are truly amazing and I'm always inspired to go and learn so much more about the environment after I talk to them!
I must say, eating has been a whole new game at this job though. Being limited to a very small fridge and even no microwave has been tricky. I'm switching rooms this week so hopefully I'll get a microwave this time and I'll be able to use some of the new goodies I got this week. Here are some of the things keeping me sustained throughout the week:
I am living off a serious amount of nutrition bars. I wish I could make my own and could then regulate the insane amounts of sugars that are normally in these, but I can't. So I've been focusing on only eating one bar a day and having other sorts of dense snacks like…well, lots of trail mix with lots of nuts. And chocolate chips. LOL. So much for limiting the sugar huh? I crack myself up.
I've been eating out a lot during the week because I'm simply exhausted after the amount of time we spend hiking and out in the elements, but this week I'm determined to not need to eat out more than 3 times and make my own meals at home! I geared up with some of these goodies:
There is a Sprouts Market in the desert that I'm able to go to get my healthy eating products, which I'm so grateful for! In addition to the canned items and rice packets, I bought some fresh vegetables that don't need a whole lot of refrigeration so I can add in some freshness to the meal. It's amazing how much you miss a big ol' salad when you don't have the ability to eat one!!!
Of course there is also a plethora of fruit laying around my room to snack on anytime I want. Apples are the easiest thing to bring out in the field without getting smashed or spoiling so I got three different varieties for the week. I also have had an abundance of strawberries since they're in season and those have been going into my smoothies in the morning. Which in fact, I bought a new flavor and a vegan variety to mix in this week with all the working out I'm going to do!
Anyone tried this Vega variety? I think it's the same one that I got a few years ago except they've changed the look of the packaging and it's in an individual package instead of a big bag that I had in the past. I've been having smoothies in the morning with it being so warm where I am and it really helps having them with some of the things in the next picture to keep my fueled up!
No, I'm not sticking crackers, popchips of kettle corn in my smoothies, but my favorite panda puffs! I seriously could eat a whole box of those things in a few days, but luckily I simply don't have time with all the work I'm doing lately! So these are just some of the goodies that I've got floating around to keep my tummy happy and add a bit of variety and excitement to what could be a very dull diet!
I also have a fridge full of things like tortillas, natural pb, strawberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, sprouts, avocados, spinach, lettuce, hummus, mustard and a few other things so I don't feel like I'm getting in absolutely nothing fresh into my diet. I must say though, it's been hard nothing have a freezer to just stick things in and make them last a whole lot longer!
All in all it hasn't been the easiest and best to eat in a hotel, but you have to make it work right?! It just means you have to be creative about what you get, how you use it, and the varieties you can come up with with your limited supplies of stuff!
Any other suggestions for me? I would love some feedback and of course everyone has great recipes combos that could help out always!

Can you believe we didn't notice? Can you believe nobody noticed? Can you believe nobody who reblogged the box art noticed? Can you believe we did side by side comparisons to argue over things like his cheek being slightly off model.
We already sent the box out to printers but we literally have to "stop the presses" to fix this detail.
We are so stupid. I cannot believe we made a whole game given how stupid we collectively are.
The good news is we noticed it now instead of a month from now.
The bad news is that we are stupid.

amerimold 2014: MAINTAINSponsored by: Mold Maintenance & Repair
Goal: To develop the skills and systems necessary to understand how much unscheduled mold stops are costing your company; identify and target these and other high cost mold operating issues (part quality, mold function, tooling and labor costs, etc…) that take large bites out of the profit margin; recognize a substandard maintenance environment that dictates not only daily bench habits but also negatively influences the desire and motivation of your team to raise personal skill levels and excel in this hands-on trade; and, see the benefits of advancing the skill levels of craftsmen so they can repair the many dings, nicks, scratches, scuffs, etc., encountered on tooling components and how it will reduce repair costs and downtime. It does not require 40 years of experience to weld, fit and polish many tooling components. It's about appropriate training in specific crafts and the desire to learn.
Who Should Attend: Molding Facility Owners, Plant Managers, Toolroom Managers and Supervisors. OEMs and those responsible for tooling productivity and costs, plus personnel at mold building companies who are responsible for repairing and maintaining their customers' tools should also attend.

amerimold 2014: Thermoplastic Composites for AutomotiveSponsored by: TenCate Advanced Composites USA | C.A. Litzler Co. Inc.
Sponsored by:
Presented by:
CompositesWorld | Plastics Technology | Automotive Design and Production
Capitalizing on the recent growth in automotive and advancements in new technology that promise further innovation, CompositesWorld and Plastics Technology will combine to produce a conference program that will be co-located with amerimold 2014, scheduled June 11-12 in Novi, Michigan. The program will consist of presentations from materials and equipment suppliers, including new innovations in composites molding that will be displayed at the K Show from the likes of Arburg, Krauss-Maffei and Engel. It will also feature presentations on advanced composites technologies that offer car makers more opportunities to lightweight vehicles while maintaining (if not improving) performance.
The Novi location is strong for automotive. The show has historically pulled in strong numbers among companies who identify themselves primarily as injection molders regardless of location. Now, for the first time in the history of the show, these attendees will have access to a conference program—situated alongside the amerimold program for moldmakers—that will get them up to date on the latest advances in manufacturing technologies impact their business. It will also expose this audience to advances in composites fabrication technologies that may become part of their processing operation in the future. For companies in composites and looking for an entrée into automotive, this event will have a two-pronged effect of exposing them to new technologies in their field, and to injection molders that already are part of the automotive supply chain.

Shock, disgust and fear spread across the campus of the Colorado university — the man who shot up a midnight movie was identified as James Holmes, and faculty members suspected they knew him.
As professors and others questioned what to do and feared for their safety, some shared the tidbits they knew about Holmes via email. He briefly had a girlfriend, who was in India at the time of the attack. He had a few friends, though none in the neuroscience program he'd just left.
The new details are in thousands of emails the University of Colorado, Denver released Wednesday after news organizations, including The Associated Press, requested them to learn about Holmes' year at the school.

Market volatility threatens mortgage and deposit rates
October 17, 2014
In the first 12 trading days of October, the Dow Jones Industrial Average suffered six daily losses of 100 points or more. Given that the month started off with encouraging economic news, what could be plaguing the market?
It seems the market has slipped into a worst-of-both-worlds mentality. That could make stocks a volatile place to be, and could eventually impact consumer interest rates.
The worst-of-both-worlds outlook
Toward the end of September, the Bureau of Economic Analysis released an upward revision to their estimate of second-quarter GDP growth, pushing it to 4.6 percent. A week later, the Bureau of Labor Statistics released an report showing strong employment growth -- 248,000 new jobs -- in September. With such a positive lead-in to October, why has it been such an ugly month for the stock market?
There are a couple of factors at work. For one thing, the market has long been wary that signs of growth will bring higher interest rates, something that can have a suppressive effect on both economic growth and stock valuations. Meanwhile, the other factor is that a variety of developments have recently cast doubt over global economic growth rates.
As a result, the market seems to be suffering from a worst-of-both-worlds outlook, viewing the economy as just strong enough for interest rates to rise, but not strong enough to withstand a global slowdown.
Impact on bank rates
The worst-of-both-worlds scenario could result in the widening of two interest rate spreads that impact consumers:
- The spread between mortgage and savings account rates. Current mortgage rates may seem low, but according to the MoneyRates.com CLIP Index, they are actually unusually high compared to rates on savings accounts. This could actually get worse, as the Fed has already largely discontinued its active program to keep long-term rates low, but may keep short-term rates down a little longer if global growth concerns become pervasive.
- The spread between rates for bad and good credit customers. A slow economy often means lower interest rates, but it also raises credit concerns. So, people with shaky credit histories may actually see rates on things like credit cards and mortgages rise, while general market rates hold steady or decline. The message is, this is a very important time to keep your credit history in good shape.
After the Fed held interest rates at unnaturally low levels for such a long time, letting those rates rise always had the potential to be disruptive. Now, a variety of factors on the global scene threatens to further shake up the interest rate picture.
The message for consumers is to lock in borrowing rates, and be alert for changes in savings rates. At just over 4 percent, current mortgage rates are still historically low, meaning that people in the market should act soon to secure their mortgages, and favor fixed over adjustable-rate loans.
People with savings accounts, meanwhile, should closely watch both their own rate and the market for rates in general. A volatile environment tends to create both opportunities and risks.
Report reveals unfavorable banking trends for consumers
October 4, 2014
The FDIC recently updated its annual Summary of Deposits, which tallies the number of banks and branches in the U.S., along with the amount of money they have on deposit. These figures, along with the FDIC's running total of bank closures, reveals some noteworthy -- and contradictory -- trends for bank customers.
The good news is that the banking industry continues to become more stable. The bad news is that consumers may be paying a price for that stability, in more ways than one.
Changes in banking
Here are some of the key trends indicated by the FDIC data:
- Failures continue to slow. Considering that it is still just a few short years after of the financial crisis, when the banking system seemed on the verge of collapse, perhaps the most important trend in banking is that the system continues to stabilize. Just 12 banks failed in the first half of 2014, 25 percent fewer than went under in the first half of 2013.
- Despite fewer failures, banks are disappearing. While fewer banks have been failing, the total number of banks is declining at a rapid rate. As of June 30, 2014, there were 281 fewer banks than there had been a year earlier. Even though there were not many failures, these numbers reflect a continuing trend of mergers and acquisitions in the industry. This consolidation is a response to the new, tougher financial environment for banks, which means that customers can likely look forward to further rising fees on their checking accounts.
- Branches are becoming more scarce. The total number of bank branches declined by 1,614 in the space of a year. This also reflects the industry's challenging financial realities, meaning that in addition to higher costs, customers can also look forward to less service in some areas.
- Deposits continue to grow. Even with reductions in the number of banks and branches over the past year, deposits increased by a net total of $679 billion. Despite low interest rates, rising fees and service reductions, banks are having no trouble attracting deposits. That is bad news for depositors with savings accounts -- with money continuing to flood in the door, banks have little incentive to raise interest rates to attract deposits.
- It is still a highly fragmented industry. The number of banks may be on the decline, but there are still more than 6,500 banks in the U.S. In addition, the proliferation of online accounts has broken down geographic barriers to make more options available in some areas. So, as a way of coping with rising fees and falling savings account rates, remember that there are many choices out there. Consumers who shop around can neutralize some of the negative trends in banking.
Ultimately, stability is what matters most to bank depositors, and the U.S. banking system continues to demonstrate its ability to deliver that precious attribute. Unfortunately, between low interest rates, rising fees and dwindling service, that system is providing little more than security to customers today.
Savers benefit from rare inflation break
September 22, 2014
With average rates on savings accounts near zero, bank depositors have been long been waiting for some sort of relief. They got it from an unlikely source last week -- the report on inflation for August.
News that consumer prices actually declined in August was a sort of instant win for savers. The big question now is whether that win will prove to be short-lived.
An bright moment for savers
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) declined by 0.2 percent during August. Seasonally adjusted, this is the first decline in the CPI since April of last year, and is tied for the largest decline since December 2008.
A drop of 0.2 percent may not sound like much, but if continued over a full year it would project to a decline in prices of more than 2 percent. Any decline in prices increases the purchasing power of savings, which is how this decline in CPI represents an instant win for savings accounts.
The ideal situation for savings accounts would be for economic activity to pick up to the point where interest rates started to rise. That, however, is likely to be a long and halting process. In the meantime, the average savings account rate is stuck at 0.06 percent, meaning that in order for savings accounts to gain purchasing power, inflation virtually has to turn negative. This does not happen often, but it happened in August.
Instant, but temporary?
At this point, the question becomes one of how much lasting value this gain in purchasing power will prove to have. That instant win for savings accounts may prove to be temporary.
For one thing, inflation figures tend to be pretty erratic from month to month. This is especially true in the energy sector, and it was a decline in energy prices that was the primary reason the CPI declined in August. A drop in energy prices one month is often followed by a bounce back the next month, so the recent decline should not be looked at as a trend that is likely to continue.
The other issue is that any decline in consumer prices raises doubts about the strength of the economy. One month of falling prices does not put the economy on a long-term deflationary path, but it was enough to drag the year-over-year inflation number down to 1.7 percent. This is below the 2.0 percent level the Federal Reserve considers healthy. So, August's decline in prices might hurt interest rates in the long run by delaying the return of monetary policy to more normal rates.
Taking all this into consideration, today's inflation news represents the dilemma for interest rates right now. Too much inflation erodes purchasing power, and too little could delay the return of rates to normal levels. The temporary win savings accounts got from the drop in CPI will only have lasting value if it is followed by stronger economic growth.
Interest rates languish despite encouraging economic data
September 4, 2014
The last week of August saw confirmation that economic growth is back on track, yet interest rates hardly moved in response. It may not be so much that investors are ignoring economic developments as they are simply skeptical about them.
Stronger growth is still the tonic most likely to cure low interest rates, but it is increasingly evident that bigger doses of this tonic may be required.
Growth gets back on track
On August 28, the Bureau of Economic Analysis announced that it was revising its estimate of second quarter, 2014 growth upward by 0.2 percent, to a 4.2 percent real annual rate. This reinforced the impression that economic growth has gotten firmly back on track after stumbling badly in the first quarter.
In fact, not only is a 4.2 percent growth rate very good in its own right, but the upward revision of the earlier estimate created a positive contrast with the way data for the first quarter evolved. The official estimate of first quarter GDP growth was revised downward twice, finally settling at an annual rate of -2.1. In other words, reports on the first quarter were a case of bad news getting worse. So far, assessment of the second quarter's growth looks like a case of good news getting better.
Negative real rates
Another factor in the interest rate mix is inflation. Ordinarily, people do not want to invest or lend money without a reasonable expectation of getting back more purchasing power than they pay out. This is why interest rates historically have exceeded the inflation rate, but the past few years have been an anomaly in this respect.
For example, over the past year inflation is running at a 2.0 percent rate. That's actually a fairly moderate inflation rate by historical standards, but its is more than enough to beat the interest rates on savings accounts, money market accounts and most CDs, and even enough to exceed the yield on Treasury securities of five years or less.
An abundance of caution
Why are interest rates staying so stubbornly low? It seems as though investors are acting with an abundance of caution.
A 4.2 percent growth rate is all well and good, but the economy has still yet to show that it can string together consecutive quarters of such growth, rather than just showing occasional flashes followed by disappointment. The economy has not strung together consecutive quarters with real growth rates in excess of 4 percent since 2003. Only when the economy can sustain that kind of growth for three or four quarters at a stretch will the confidence of consumers, lenders and investors be restored enough to boost interest rates.
In the meantime, people turn to vehicles like savings accounts out of just the sort of caution that characterizes the current environment. The irony is that with interest rates trailing the rate of inflation, the reward for that caution has been a steady loss of purchasing power.
Savers, borrowers get a break from weakening inflation
August 22, 2014
Inflation eased in July, thanks to help from an unexpected source -- energy prices -- which had been a prime mover in a surge of inflation over the prior three months.
On August 19, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) announced that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose by just 0.1 percent in July. That moderate rate of inflation comes on the heels of accelerating price increases in the second quarter of the year, and this easing is good news for consumers fighting rising prices, for mortgage shoppers hoping to still take advantage of low mortgage rates and for beleaguered depositors in savings accounts.
The only question is, can this respite from faster-rising prices last?
Inflation slows in July
Prior to the most recent CPI report, inflation had been on a troubling course. After spending much of the past few years at around 2 percent or lower, CPI rose at an annualized pace of 3.5 percent in the second quarter of this year. This higher rate of inflation would have been very challenging for consumers who have seen minimal wage increases in recent years.
A 3.5 percent rate of inflation would also have wrought havoc on interest rates. With rates on savings accounts under 1 percent, higher inflation would have meant that savers would have seen the purchasing power of their nest eggs eroded at an even faster pace. Also, with current mortgage rates barely above 4.1 percent, a 3.5 percent rate of inflation would have made such low rates almost certainly unsustainable, resulting in higher borrowing costs.
Thus, it came as a relief when the BLS announced that the CPI rose by just 0.1 percent, thanks largely to price declines in July across all components of the energy sector. That kept inflation for the past year at a manageable 2.0 percent, and set price increases back to a more moderate pace for the time being.
Implications for savings accounts and mortgage rates
What does this mean now for savings accounts and mortgage rates?
It is possible that a rise in inflation would have meant higher savings account rates, but this would have been a hollow victory if it came at the price of higher inflation. Now, more moderate inflation gives savings account rates a chance to close the gap against rising prices a little -- especially if banks start to raise their rates in response to a strengthening economy.
As for mortgage rates, the easing of inflation buys mortgage shoppers a little more time. Higher mortgage rates may be in the cards if the economy continues to gather momentum, but it will likely happen more gradually that way than if there were an inflation shock.
This moderate inflation scenario depends on energy prices continuing to moderate, and inflation not spreading to other sectors of the economy. For now though, consumers can celebrate good news on the inflation front.

LTC: Ripoff or Reality?
Friday - 5/8/2009, 4:00am EDT
Personality wise, are you a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty type? Take this test using the pending 5 to 25 percent hike in premiums for some folks in the Federal Long Term Care insurance program.
News of the premium hikes, the first in seven years, infuriated many.
Most e-mails we got said Uncle Sam or somebody is guilty of breach of contract or gross stupidity or indifference. The 7-year contract which guaranteed no premium hikes expired earlier this year. It has been replaced by a new 7-year contract of which details are still coming out.
But a number of policy-holders note that premiums held firm (as promised) during a 7-year period when inflation was going up, up, up. In January of this year, CSRS federal retirees, military retirees and people who get Social Security got a 5.8 percent cost of living adjustment to keep pace with 2007 inflation. Those COLAs are based on the Consumer Price Index. But medical inflation during that period was much higher.
So is the new contract, which we haven't seen in detail yet, a ripoff or does it simply reflect reality?
Here's what we know now.
Roughly 224,000 federal workers, retirees and dependents enrolled in the federal LTC program since it was launched seven years ago. During the initial sign-up period, people could get policies without underwriting. That was a blessing for older individuals and people in bad health who otherwise might not make the cut.
The new contract provides a variety of options and premiums that will do the following:
- Nobody who was age 70 or older when their LTC policy was issued will be in line for any premium hike under the new contract.
- There will be no premium increase for those who have the Future Purchase Option for inflation. Many older workers and retirees have that option. The no-new-premium pledge for them is good news and it contradicts what I heard, and reported, earlier this week.
- For others it will be possible to avoid, or minimize, any premium increase if they are willing to make changes in benefits, or in the inflation option. For example you might be able to avoid a premium increase by switching from a promised lifetime benefit, to an option where benefits are guaranteed for 1, 3 or 5 years. And you might be able to avoid (or minimize) a premium hike if you make changes in the inflation option.
- The new contract will include a benefit option to increase home health care reimbursement, as well as the option to purchase higher daily benefit payments as well as new benefit periods. Someone who purchases a short-term (3 or 5 year) benefit would pay less than someone who opted for a lifetime benefit payment.
- The 5 to 25 percent premium increases will apply to those who have ACI (automatic compound inflation) protection. Many experts say that the ACI is essential, particularly for people who purchase LTC at younger ages.
- There will be a special sign-up period, similar to an open season, when individuals can change options (to pick up more benefits or minimize or escape premium increases). During this decision period (dates to be announced) individuals will have the chance to switch to the new plan without underwriting. This means they won't have to undergo a review of their current health status for the purpose of coverage.
Some federal union leaders, and officials familiar with the LTC program, say the changes and the price hikes (for some) are unfortunate but consistent with similar changes in private sector LTC plans. Those changes generally must be approved by state insurance commissioners whereas those under the federal program are subject of OPM review.
