The discussion that follows will cover some of the key themes of our 2014 success and comment on some of our initiatives for 2015 and beyond. But first I would like to express my sincere appreciation for your investment in our Company on behalf of our First NBC team. With- out you, we could not accomplish the results we have achieved since our inception in May of 2006. Our Strategy We firmly believe that our success is directly related to the commitment of everyone on the First NBC team to our corporate strategy. We are a community bank; but to us that is a measure of our state of mind rather than of our asset size. Our focus is on providing a full range of high quality financial services to our customers using a relationship management strategy. We build these rela- tionships through a relationship manager who is charged with the oversight of the total relationship with the customer and with ensuring our products and services meet the financial needs of that customer. We insist that these relationship managers build an understanding of the customer’s financial needs and that we meet as many of these needs as possible. We strongly believe that the Ashton J. Ryan, Jr. customer’s best interests must take precedence over our President and Chief Executive Officer profitability, a principle that the banking industry seems First NBC Bank Holding Company to have lost sight of over the years. Because understand- ing the customer’s needs is a long term process that is Fellow Shareholders: complicated by changes to those needs and the eco- nomic environment over time, we place great emphasis It is my great pleasure to provide our shareholders with on three key parts of our strategy – customer retention, an update on First NBC Bank Holding Company, and its continuity of the customer’s relationship manager and primary subsidiary, First NBC Bank, for the year 2014. gaining additional share of the customer’s financial During the past year, our Company continued its strong wallet over time.

  • Final Environmental Impact Statement West Bay Sediment Diversion, Louisiana
    West Bay Sediment Diversion Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana Final Environmental Impact Statement October 2001 Main Environmental Impact Statement Appendices FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT WEST BAY SEDIMENT DIVERSION, LOUISIANA OCTOBER 2001 LEAD AGENCY: U. S. ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS, NEW ORLEANS DISTRICT ABSTRACT: The proposed project consists of a large-scale, uncontrolled sediment diversion channel into West Bay1 through the west bank (right descending bank) of the Mississippi River at mile 4.7 Above Head of Passes (AHP), in southeastern Louisiana. The project objective is to restore vegetated wetlands in shallow open water. The sediment diversion channel would be constructed in two phases: 1) Construction of an interim diversion channel to accommodate a discharge of 20,000 cubic feet per second (cfs) at the 50 percent duration stage of the Mississippi River, and 2) Modification of the interim diversion channel design to accommodate full-scale diversion of 50,000 cfs at the 50 percent duration stage of the Mississippi River immediately upon completion of a period of intensive monitoring of diversion operations. Contingency plans for closing the diversion conveyance channel would be implemented if hydrographic monitoring of the Mississippi River navigation channel indicates the thalweg of the river migrating toward the diversion channel or if the shoaling substantially increases in the navigation channel downstream of the diversion. The sediment diversion would induce shoaling between river miles 1.5 and 5 AHP in the navigation channel of the Mississippi River and increase saltwater intrusion in the river. The project would convert 9,831 acres of shallow open water to vegetated wetlands over the 20-year life of the project.

  • New Orleans Stripper
    New orleans stripper Continue The poet Wallace Stevens once wrote: Death is the mother of beauty. New Orleans, on the other hand, is busy illustrating the consequence of the fact that almost death produces its own miracles. From the hanging gardens that shimmer on the iron lace balconies in the French quarter to the dozens of first-class restaurants filled with diners, The Big Easy is experiencing a moment of heightened beauty and pleasure. In the two years since Hurricane Katrina, the city's sense of tragedy and fatalism has increased, but as has its dark humour. This humid place at the mouth of the Mississippi still looks and feels like a Franco-African colony under the ferocious subtropical sun, with endless blocks of bright Creole cottages framed by palm wreaths and banana trees. But just take a satirical new weekly called New Orleans Levy and read his mundane motto: We don't hold back anything. The fun, riddled with pain and resilience, is an emotional cocktail too strong for some former residents who have fled to more drought-stricken places. As the out-of-town muttered to his wife recently during a tour of the affected areas, Peoria looks better and better all the time, darling. But others joined the party in this low- powered, hurricane-ridden city founded in 1718 by The King-Baptiste Le Moin, Syeur de Bienville, as a convenient port of the New World. Today it is the fourth largest in the country. Energetic young people are joining the work of Habitat for Humanity and other voluntary institutions.

  • New Orleans Free Clinic
    New orleans free clinic Continue New Orleans is an interesting and dynamic city with enough activities to satisfy everyone. The weather in the Big Easy is usually good, but summers are hot and humid. When you plan what you are going to do, make sure you allow time to get out of the sun. Many of the things you find to do here have a cultural appeal. Even walking or taking a tram from one place to another can be interesting if you don't have the wrong time. Colorful buildings, cast-iron balconies and an upbeat atmosphere lure people into the French quarter. You can find plenty of things to do here. It covers six blocks, over which you will find a variety of offers from fresh seafood to souvenirs. Most of the open-air market is covered, so you can take a break from being in the sun while you hunt for shares of local traders. S. Greg Panosian/Getty Images Grab a bite to eat a local eatery and head over to the New Orleans Music Park Legends to catch a show from a local jazz musician. The park is open-air and is marked with statues of some of the city's musical legends. During the winter months, the air can be a little insipid, but a bowl of gumbo can help keep you warm. If you need a snack, Cafe Beignet is right there with sweet suggestions. Located in the swamps of Louisiana, the Gene Lafitte National Historic Park and Nature Reserve gives you a glimpse into the natural beauty of the area.

  • Lower Plaquemines Parish Is Changing to Area Code 504
    StarLines 7/10/2007 2:52 PM Issue 4 2007 (July/August 2007) LA Lower Plaquemines Parish is Changing to Area Code 504 Beginning July 29, 2007 , communities in Lower Plaquemines Parish will change from area code 985 to area code 504. The change is a result of AT&T Louisiana’s efforts to strengthen its network and better protect low-lying areas from future telephone service disruptions caused by major hurricanes. The telephone switches in many of these coastal communities were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. In the aftermath of that powerful storm, the company began providing telephone service to these communities from telephone switches in New Orleans in order to expedite service restoration. Now that these initial repairs are being made permanent, residents and businesses in these areas will be able to dial more communities on a local basis. Beginning July 29, 2007, calls placed to the communities of Buras, Pointe-a-la- Hache, Port Sulphur and Venice may be made by using either the 985 or the 504 area code. Starting May 1, 2008 , the nine-month transition period will end and callers must use the 504 area code to reach these communities. Consumers may need to reprogram their speed dialing lists as a result of this change. Residents in these communities may need to reprint their checks, personal stationery and other printed materials that contain their area code. Visit our Web site at www.bellsouth.com/areacode for more information. Graphic Design Note: Article accompanied by a graphic of Louisiana highlighting the area code changes in the southeast portion of the state.
