Here is an excerpt from a story I was reading about Wal-Mart rescinding their application from the FDIC:
“ILCs also are opposed by smaller community banks that would face a giant competitor if Wal-Mart offered full service banking. Bankers fear the retailer will set up full-service bank branches in its 3,800 U.S. stores. Without the need for new brick-and-mortar branches, they say, Wal-Mart could force local banks out of business by offering lower loan charges and paying higher rates on deposits.”

Hey Cal,
You should give your staff some video cameras. I think the potential of having a periodic 4-5 minute video clip with the headlines and such should do very well here and bring in a lot more traffic. Plus, as an advertiser here, I think the potential payoff would be well worth the experiment.

I know it's a week late, but happy anniversary regardless. Your contributions here are well appreciated.
