Mo. Senate passes local vehicle sales tax bill
Cities and counties would be able to resume collecting taxes on cars that were not purchased at Missouri dealers under a bill passed by the Senate.
The Senate voted 28-0 to send the bill to the House on Monday.
A Missouri Supreme Court decision last year has prohibited local governments from collecting sales taxes on cars bought from out-of-state dealers or from a private sale between Missouri residents.
The legislation would allow counties and cities to immediately collect local taxes on such sales. It would also require a vote between November 2014 and November 2016 in counties and cities on whether the tax should be kept.
Gov. Jay Nixon vetoed a version of the bill last year that would not have required a public vote.

All Day in a Rich Guy's Limo Makes for a Very Silly Novel
Cosmopolis , by Don DeLillo. Scribner, 209 pages, $25.
Soon after Sept. 11, editors began phoning novelists to commission essays, in the hope that literary writers could offer a better, deeper response to the attacks than mere journalists could. Don DeLillo's name turned up at the top of everyone's wish list. That's how we think Read More

T-Mobileclue.com Officially Revealed Look, at this point if you didn't believe that the Samsung Vibrant was indeed the device behind the T-Mobileclue.com mystery, we can't do much to help that. Or maybe we can? T-Mobile has revealed, likely ahead of schedule the entire puzzle to reveal, surprise surprise, the Samsung Vibrant! Well maybe not the actual unveiling of the device, but the name itself that we know correlates to the Samsung Galaxy S. Mystery … [read full article]
Samsung Galaxy S, Possibly The T-Mobile Twitter Mystery Device? As many of you have already guessed, it is our belief that this mysterious T-Mobile Twitter game will ultimately reveal the Samsung Galaxy S. Are we 100% positive? No. Are we positive enough to write this story? I think that answers itself. So why do we think it's the Galaxy S? Just like the HTC HD2 T-Mobile is using this device as a way to shore up content deals with partners in … [read full article]
Verizon Now The Dominant Android Player, T-Mobile In Second Place? I suppose in hindsight I really shouldn't have been as surprised as I was over the results of a recent study regarding Android usage. I would have thought that T-Mobile, as the originating Android carrier would have remained the dominant player in the game, but the handset is really the buying decision now, not the carrier. With that in mind, according to a recent study by Chitika Research, Verizon is now the dominant player in … [read full article]
Leaked T-Mobile Calender Contains Four Upcoming Devices? Thanks to my friends over at Phonedog who received a juicy training calendar that contains secrets regarding upcoming products and services.

Samsung Galaxy S Passes Through FCC Well, what do we have here? Courtesy of the FCC, word comes that the Samsung Galaxy S is on its way to the good ole US of A.

Samsung Galaxy S Confirmed For T-Mobile? Well, what do we have here? Howard Chui of Howardforums.com fame was lucky enough to get his hands on a Samsung Galaxy S and out of his video, rumors are flying that it's a T-Mobile variant.

In this analysis of data from the historic Women's Interagency HIV Study, HAART decreased immune activation, exhaustion, senescence, and apoptosis in CD8+ T cells (cohort mean age: 41.2 years). However, these levels did not become normalized even after a year of HAART. Therapies that reverse immune system aging used in combination with HAART may be warranted, the research suggests.
For more information, read CROI poster 331, "Impact of HAART Initiation on Immune Regulation in Aging HIV+ Women: Women's Interagency HIV Study," presented by Seema Desai.

Quintessa Meritage Red 2009
Agustin and Valeria Huneeus developed Quintessa in 1990 to establish the property as one of the great red wine estates of the world. Quintessa bears the same name as the vineyard from which it is made.
Tasting Notes:
A fresh floral, violet aroma mingles with plum and currant in the nose. On entry, the wine is supple with pleasing richness and density that leads through the midpalate. Warm clove spice, sassafras and a touch of vanilla complement nuances of toast to deliver a complex mix of flavors and texture in the mouth. The wine finishes long and satisfying with dark berry fruits, cassis and chocolate.
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
Full and dramatic early on, but will age gracefully beyond 2013.

Transportation funding is an "explosive" issue facing the country, the nation's top air cargo representative says.Posted on 06/11 at 07:14 AM

The transport business community often bristles when Democrats control the White House and Congress because regulations and, at times, red tape increases. Four top Obama administration officials strongly defended their increased policing and regulatory enforcement, compared with the rather lax enforcement some transport officials say was in place during the George W. Bush administration. That can be seen just in the number of regulations affecting shippers and motor carriers coming out of Washington.

Scarce federal resources are forcing states to leverage the limited funds available for freight projects and need to be more creative in the manner in which those funds are distributed, Virginia's transportation secretary says.
High-speed rail is coming to America—but not without the cooperation of five Class 1 freight railroads in North America, the nation's top transportation official says.

While the economy is slowly showing signs of bouncing back, its uneven recovery throughout the world has myriad impacts on global trade patterns, commodity flows, and subsequently freight transport flows, according to the findings of a recent research report from the International Transport Forum.

Less-than-truckload freight transportation services provider YRC Worldwide is currently seeking pension cuts with the Teamsters, according to a report from the website of Teamsters for a Democratic Union.
Business logistics costs fell to a record low of 7.7 percent of Gross Domestic Product last year, compared with 9.3 percent of GDP in 2008, according to a new annual benchmark report issued Wednesday.
The Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported today that its Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI) was up 0.3 percent in April from March. This marks the third straight month the Freight TSI grew on a sequential basis.
While the ubiquitous social networking tool Twitter has been used by myriad shippers, carriers, and industry associations, freight transportation services provider Con-way has taken an entirely different approach in terms of gaining new business via the "Twit-a-sphere."

Hey look, ESPN is crediting Jay Glazer by name now!
Encouraging signs of a changing of the guard in Bristol? Saturday, Fox's Jay Glazer fired another shot at ESPN accusing them of not crediting him for breaking a story and folding his work into Bristol's mysterious "sources." After an exchange with an ESPN producer, Glazer was incredulous over learning that his work was included with ESPN's own reporting under the monolithic "sources" tag. Make no mistake, this wasn't about "who had it first on Twitter." This exchange was about ESPN admitting to using Glazer's work as a source, but passing it off (intended or not) as ESPN's own work.
At the beginning of the NFL's Black Monday, Fox's Jay Glazer reported that Cleveland Browns head coach Pat Shurmur was fired. Ten minutes later, the above graphic appeared on the morning SportsCenter as NFL reporters Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen were on set discussing the news of the day. ESPN credited Glazer and Fox by name for the report, even doing so on Twitter.

CNET Editors' review
Ashampoo Cover Studio is a versatile program that allows user to create cover art for CDs, DVDs, and other media in a variety of formats. We liked that the program contains both attractive templates and plenty of options for user customization.
The program's interface isn't the most intuitive thing we've ever seen, but on the whole, it's attractive and pretty easy to figure out. Users first choose from among several cover formats, including cases and booklets for DVDs and jewel cases and slim cases for CDs. After that the program walks users through each step of the process, adding title information and track listings. Users can create custom graphics by using their own images and inserting and formatting text, tables, and shapes, but the program also has a nice variety of templates to choose from. We've seen similar programs that come with pretty cheesy templates, and it is true that a few of Cover Studio's templates are a little tacky and reminiscent of clip art, but most of them are based on high-quality, professional-looking images. The program's Help file is well-written and thorough, with plenty of screenshots. Overall, we felt that Ashampoo Cover Studio struck a good balance between being easy to use and having a strong set of features. It's a good choice both for users who need to create covers for the occasional mix CD and users who need professional-grade covers for business materials.
Ashampoo Cover Studio has a 30-day trial period. The program installs and uninstalls without issues. We recommend this program to all users.
Publisher's Description
From Ashampoo:
Ashampoo Cover Studio was already the easiest way to label your discs and create slick case covers and booklets to go with them. Now version 2 makes a great product even better, adding LightScribe burner support, direct scan for copying CD labels and covers, a faster editor and many more powerful new features--all without making the program any more complicated to use. You don't even need to do any designing because Ashampoo Cover Studio 2 comes with even more ready-to-use themes. You just choose a theme, enter your text and print. It couldn't be easier. Or you can create your own great designs and save them as templates that you can reuse just like the built-in themes. If you've always wished you could produce discs with attractive labels then give Ashampoo Cover Studio a try.
What's new in this version: Version 2.2.0 improved template handling.

"Excellent interface"
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
Interface is very intuitive and works well with LightScribe
'Curved' text does not follow the arc of the CD
Terrific application for printing LightScribe disc labels. I would recommend it highly.
"Easy to use, simple and efficient"
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
Good instructions, easy to follow, good after sales support
Cannot resize type
Good value for money, especially when on special offer.
"works well with lightscribe"
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
use it mainly for my lightscribe and does the job nicely
haven't used extensively enough to find any bad points
I used the 2.2.2 version before buying and found it quite adequate for my uses. Saves me loads on ink cartridges. Am happy with Cover Studio.
"have used Ashampoo products for awhile with no complain"
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
Does what it says
Haven't found any yet
You can't go wrong!
"It doesn't value the price."
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
It delivers what you expect.
There are free softwares that do the same.
"Too steep a learning curve"
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
since its essentially unusable to me-- none.
no embedded template library. What's up with that?
Why can LightScribe offer a free template labeler that is so simple to use? What I had hoped to get from Ashampoo was a more sophisticated riff on that free utility. It's hardly your fault since I evidently did not read the product description thoroughly enough. I'm happy with your products although Shrink and Burn gives out too many error messages and refuses to shrink and burn DVD's that the free DVD Fab and DVD Shrink have no problem handling. I'm getting skittish about using it since LightScribe capable DVD's are still relatively too expensive to discard for a software anomaly.
"Great Product Does everything I want to do"
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
Every thing I want to do with my CD s will get done , love the Light Scribe support since I have Light Scribe on both my desktop and laptop
Not many things to complain about
Love the LightScribe feature Makes choosing covers simpler now.
"Ashampoo products are good, this is no exception."
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
The ability of lightscribe compatability, is a plus, as well as various other formats available for printing. Ease of use is good, and easy navigation. I am very happy with this program. Reasonably priced when I purchased it as well.
As yet I have had no negative issues with the software, so no Cons i can think of .
"The best price, easy and it does the job"
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
In 2 min. you start and al is working
combi of pictures is not possible
it makes visible every customer with their own logo on CD / DVD etc
"Fine for the price. It does the job."
Version: Ashampoo Cover Studio 2.2.0
Ok for those with light scribe printers. As for paper labels, Memorex labels are under "Pressit" and I suspect the Avery labels are under Zweckform number.... I didn't check. Once you get the hang of it, Cover Studio does the job.
. Everything is not so obvious . Nearlly gave up from the start . Luckily, I don't give up easily!
On opening, the user should be invited to select labels or lightscribe. The labels list shouldn't be mixed with the printers. I finally found the Stomper lablels, but beginning with CD.... misleading to say the least. Little things, yes, but you're on the way to a lovely product.

Debates, comedy, music, radical ideas, songwriting sessions and plenty of audience participation… and all programmed by Billy Bragg
WHERE TO FIND IT: Right bang in the middle of the site, on the road between The Other Stage and West Holts
Glastonbury differs from all other major rock festivals in that it has an underlying ethos: To make the world a better place. At Left Field, we endeavour to give that ethos some edge by bringing together activists and artists who strive to articulate that better world through argument and song.
We begin with two daily panels where left-wingers convene to discuss and debate how to build a fairer society. Contributions from the audience are always welcome.
That's followed by the Radical Round-Up, which pitches up-and-coming topical songwriters in with festival veterans to take turns in sharing their songs.
Our early evening comedy spot brings biting satire into the mix before we bring on the bands. Left Field has a tradition of bringing young artists together with those who have spent their careers speaking out on the issues of the day and this year is no exception.
Come down to Left Field and help us to kick out the jams!

Grape Creek RV Park Campground and Cabins
[ 10/10 ]
This was our second year to spend time at this RV park and we plan to return next summer. We really like this well maintained RV park. The setting is in the lovely countryside with views that we would never tire of. We could not access the Wi-Fi where we were parked this past summer but I could use my Verizon air card. We enjoy the little town of Westcliffe and the mountain hiking trails that are nearby. This park is a special place.
Rockport, Texas
A Bay Breeze RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
We stayed at this RV park for a week and enjoyed the peaceful setting, back off the main road and in a setting with live oaks. Appeared to be well maintained and buildings being painted when we were there. Camp hosts were friendly and helpful. Wifi worked good for us and we enjoyed having the cable tv. The location is between Rockport and Aransas Pass which worked well for us as we enjoyed both areas as well as Corpus Christi. When we return to this area we will stay in this park again.

The three fishing shirts I ordered for my grandson arrived ahead-of-expectations, and beat the orders we are still waiting to receive from other retailers. These shirts are my 8-year-old grandson's favorite attire, so he'll be thrilled to have three bright new colors for the New Year. Hats off to Columbia for prompt delivery, and having the merchandise we wanted in time for holiday gift-giving. The only improvement I would suggest is including a gift box, to make it easier for your customers to wrap.

Judy's Zucchini Pickles
These pickles make a great accompaniment to the famous Zuni Hamburgers served at the Zuni Caf; in San Francisco. The restaurant's chef and owner, Judy Rodgers, shared the recipe with us.
Get More
Subscribe to Martha Stewart LivingIngredients
- 1 pound zucchini, washed, trimmed, and very thinly sliced
- 1 medium yellow onion, very thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fine sea salt
- 2 cups apple-cider vinegar
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
- 1 1/2 teaspoons slightly crushed yellow mustard seeds
- Scant 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
Step 1
Combine zucchini and onion in a large shallow bowl. Add salt; toss to combine. Add a few ice cubes and enough cold water to cover, stirring until salt dissolves. Let stand, at room temperature, until zucchini are slightly salty and softened, about 1 hour.
Step 2
Drain, removing any remaining ice cubes. Dry thoroughly between two towels, or spin, a few handfuls at a time, in a salad spinner (excess water will thin the flavor and spoil the pickle). Rinse and dry the bowl. Return the zucchini and onion to the dry bowl.
Step 3
In a saucepan, combine vinegar, sugar, dry mustard, mustard seeds, and turmeric, over medium heat; simmer for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and let stand until just warm to the touch.
Step 4
Pour the cooled brine over the zucchin-and-onion mixture, stirring to combine. Transfer to sterilized jars. Cover, and refrigerate for 1 to 2 days before serving. Will keep for about 3 months, refrigerated, in an airtight container.

As an employee and later co-owner of Combine Music, where he worked from 1964 until the company was sold in 1986, Beckham was also a key player in the success of such songwriters as Ray Stevens, Larry Gatlin, Jerry Reed, Tony Joe White, Bob DiPiero, Bob Morrison and Dennis Linde (who married Beckham's daughter).
Beckham was born July 8, 1927, in Stratford, Okla. He began working in a traveling entertainment show when he was 8 and subsequently dabbled in movie acting in California before returning to Oklahoma. He became a U.S. Army paratrooper at the age of 17 near the end of World War II.
Beckham made his entertainment debut on the national stage in the late 1950s, recording as a pop artist for Decca Records and touring with the label's then-child star, Brenda Lee. He scored two chart singles for Decca, "Just as Much as Ever" (No. 32, 1959) and "Crazy Arms" (No. 3, 1960).
Following his move to Nashville in 1959, he served as a songplugger for Lowery Music and then worked briefly for Shelby Singleton Music before settling in at Combine. In 1990, Beckham established HoriPro Music in Nashville, a division of Japan's Taiyo Music publishing company.
He retired from HoriPro in 2006.
One of Music Row's great storytellers, Beckham held court at his designated table at Valentino's restaurant until shortly before his death.
Funeral arrangements are pending.

February 26, 2013 (CHICAGO) -- Snow continues to fall across the Chicago area with Lake and McHenry counties taking the brunt of the winter storm.
A winter storm warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Wednesday for Lake and McHenry counties, according to the National Weather Service. Snow was falling at a rate of 1 inch/hour in Lake County Tuesday evening- and total accumulation could crack double digits and maybe exceed a foot by daybreak.
High winds are whipping up the snow, leading to whiteout conditions with near zero visibility in some areas.
VIDEO:Winter storm warning in Lake, McHenry Counties
Residents in the area are urged to stay inside, and be careful shoveling the heavy, wet snow. Traveling is considered very hazardous.
Meanwhile, a winter weather advisory was extended until 6 a.m. Wednesday for Cook, Kane, DuPage, DeKalb, Boone and Winnebago counties. As much as 4 to 7 inches could fall in parts of the area, and winds are as high as 35 mph.
"This is not ending anytime soon," ABC7 Meteorologist Mike Caplan said. "An ugly afternoon rush, and it's not even going to be done tomorrow."
The heaviest snow was expected between 3 p.m. and 9 p.m. and in McHenry and Lake counties. Light snow could continue overnight. That could lead to an additional accumulation of 1 to 2 inches.
At O'Hare Airport, the official measure as of 6 p.m. was 3.8 inches of snow. That makes it the biggest snow of this season.
School programs, sports canceled
Some area schools canceled classes and extracurricular activities for Tuesday afternoon. Chicago Public Schools canceled all sporting events for Tuesday afternoon, including the six regionals basketball games the district was hosting.
Click here for a list of school closings
Slick roads, spinouts across Chicago, suburbs
High winds of up to 30 mph are making travel hazardous with low visibility.
"Can't see the car in front of you. Lots of fun," Dino Alexakos, who was filling up his gas tank at the Des Plaines Oasis, said of driving on the highway.
"It's scary. The wife's in the car having little panic attacks. But I say, 'I've got it.' I've been doing this for 23 years. I'm OK," Shane Brown, driver, said. He thinks visibility was at half a mile or less.
Roads are slick and icy as temperatures hover slightly above freezing. Several spinouts have been reported across the area. As much as three to six inches could fall across the Chicago area.
Snow plows and salt trucks have been mobilized across the city and suburbs. The Chicago Department of Streets and Sanitation has its full fleet of 280 snow plows and trucks out on the main arteries.
"The advantage we have now is that the surface temperatures are still pretty warm. It's breaking down," said Commissioner Charles Williams, Chicago Department of Sanitation. "The rush hour will be slow, but our trucks are out there." Track the city's plows at chicagoshovels.org
Streets and San said that a new crew will come on at 10 p.m. and work overnight. They're replacing those drivers who have been out throughout the afternoon.
"We sent home a full group of drivers this morning, told them to rest up, because we know we're going to need them tonight," Mike Claffey, Illinois Department of Transportation, said.
The Illinois Tollway also mobilized its full fleet of 182 snowplows Tuesday morning to get a start on the storm. Crews will work around the clock to clear the roads for the evening commute and Wednesday morning's rush hour.
To deal with the weather, the Tollway has canceled all temporary lane closures until Thursday, February 28 at 7 a.m.
Drivers are urged to allow extra time on the roadways and to be careful shoveling snow.
"About a third of all heart attacks during times of physical or emotional stress. And if you're not used to doing physical activity shoveling snow is a very intense physical activity and you should be cautious," Rush University Medical Center's Dr. Clifford Kavinsky said.
Hundreds of flights canceled
More than 330 flights were canceled Tuesday at O'Hare International Airport, while 170 flights were canceled at Midway Airport. Other flights are delayed 30 to 60 minutes.
The Chicago Department of Aviation is encouraging airline passengers with flights scheduled for Tuesday to check the status of their flights before heading to Chicago's airports. ABC7 Flight Tracker.

Embarkation: We arrived at the port around 11:30. We had a difficult time locating the parking/unloading area. We drove in circles for quite some time and finally found it by following another luggage loaded truck that was lost too! After going through all the procedures we arrived on the ship around 1:00.
Ship Experience: The ship was very clean. Someone was constantly cleaning some where on board. Our room was spacious and offered plenty of storage space. The only problem we had was with the ventilation in the bathroom. Our "vent" didn't seem to work and would often cause our cabin to be rather warm after taking showers. The Sensation has the new Carnival bedding. The duvet and pillows were very comfortable.
I found the ship layout to be a bit confusing. It took me several days to locate all of the "hidden" areas and determine which floor I needed to go to. I noticed I wasn't the only one with this problem, several people commented on the elevator about not knowing where to go.
Dining: We had late dinner seating. When we arrived on board we were assigned early seating and had to stand in line for 30+ minutes to have it changed (even though we had requested late). The food in the dining room was well presented and tasty. Some nights were a little better than others, but overall the dining room experience was well worth it. There was always something yummy available on board through the buffet, pizza, deli, or room service. We didn't go hungry.
Ports: Our first stop was Calica which is not a very developed port. We went on the Tulum express excursion. It was extremely hot, and the mosquitoes were vicious! Our second stop was Cozumel which was wonderful. The weather was perfect, our beach break was relaxing, I just wish we could have stayed in port longer!
Overall: Our family had a wonderful time on this cruise and made many happy memories. The Sensation is a good ship for her age and a great value for the price! It was a good ship for the first time cruisers in our group to get "addicted" to cruising with! I think our next cruise will be on a larger ship in a different port.

Well, it's been eight days since Tom Petters was declared guilty on 20 counts of felony fraud. And the series of print ads pointing fingers at business associates of Petters and government prosecutors keeps growing and growing.
When we first visited this subject, we wrote about Minneapolis adman Bill Hillsman, head of North Woods Advertising, creating ads for the so-called Stop the Petters Scam Foundation, which ran a series of finger-pointing newspaper ads in the Minneapolis Star Tribune during jury deliberations.
The jury's in, but the folks paying to place the ads still seem to have some extra cash to keep them coming. Not to mention the group, whose newspaper ads also are posted on the website www.stopthepettersscam.com, had some ads left on overset.
The Star Tribune earlier this week refused to keep running the ads because North Woods Advertising didn't sign an advocacy advertising form before the series of ads started running.
That didn't stop the series of ads from continuing, first on the group's website with a "Censored by the Star Tribune" tag on them, then, on Thursday, putting a "Now in the (St. Paul) Pioneer Press" notice on both ads censored by the Star Tribune.
Thursday's ad continued the finger-pointing by the Petters Scam Foundation, which is backed by Ritchie Capital Management LLC, a company that lost millions in the Ponzi scheme Petters was convicted of masterminding.
It highlights Larry Reynolds, a convicted con in the federal witness protection program, and his role helping Petters defraud investors of billions of dollars.
Like all the other ads in the series, Thursday's ad teases an upcoming Friday ad, which, it claims, will outline "how the misdeed of the Metro Gang Strike Force resemble the government's handling of the Petters case."
Look for it in the St. Paul Pioneer Press.
The inve
Rather, government evidence showed, investor funds went to support the money-losing businesses that operated under the Petters Group umbrella, as well as to fund the extravagant lifestyles of Petters and his cronies.
"The conspirators became wealthy off the conspiracy," said Marti, one of three federal prosecutors on the case.
Petters, the government said, siphoned off $82 million between 2003 and 2008 for his personal bank accounts and $315 million for his companies. White, the government said, personally received $14.5 million in the same period and Coleman took home $14.4 million.
stigation came together in a frenzy, leaving Assistant U.S. Attorney John Marti bleary-eyed as the first coconspirators began making appearances to enter guilty pleas in St. Paul last fall. "Like the song says, 'I'll sleep when I'm dead,'" Marti said at the time, quoting the lyrics of rocker Warren Zevon.
Petters' co-conspirators pleaded guilty one after another. They include former executives with Petters Co. Inc., Deanna Coleman and Robert White; business associates Michael Catain of Shorewood and Larry Reynolds of Los Angeles; hedge fund manager Gregory Bell of suburban Chicago, and one of his accounting executives, Harold Alan Katz.
But Petters held fast to his claim of innocence, testifying in the 18-day trial that he had trusted some people too much to run the company after his son John was fatally stabbed in Italy during a college study trip in 2004.
Most of the Petters business enterprise has been dismantled. Polaroid Corp. was auctioned off for $85.9 million in a bankruptcy proceeding this year and the remainder of Petters' business and personal property is being liquidated for disbursement to his many creditors, who likely will get pennies on the dollar.
The case against Peters began on Sept. 8, 2008, when Coleman — a longtime employee, confidante and onetime lover — went to federal authorities and gave them their first look at a massive investor fraud scheme.
The government wasted no time to get to the bottom of the operation and immediately fitted Coleman with an undercover recording devices. The government had her race back to corporate headquarters to begin recording hours and hours of discussions between herself, Petters and other intimates within the Petters scheme.
The government played 70 excerpts of those tapes for a total of 17 hours and 37 minutes. They presented the core of the government's case with Petters, who at one point is caught declaring, "This is one big (expletive) fraud. That's what it is."
The fraud collapsed on Sept. 24, 2008, when scores of federal agents raided the corporate headquarters of Petters Group Worldwide in Minnetonka and the personal residences of Petters and his accomplices.

How I lost my fear of elevators and learned to pitch
For those of you who are new to the biz, an elevator pitch is a brief, concise presentation of your novel's central story. At its best, an elevator pitch is a clever and effective nugget that summarizes your entire manuscript. Think of it as a brilliant tag line for a movie. Here are some noteworthy tag lines you may have heard over the past 30 years:
"Eight legs, two fangs, and an attitude." (Arachnaphobia)
"She brought a small town to its feet and a corporation to its knees." (Erin Brockovich)
"The last man on Earth is not alone." (I Am Legend)
"Escape or die frying." (Chicken Run)
Ideally, one's elevator pitch should be brilliant enough to compel any editor or agent to scream, "You, author! Send me your pages!" Or better yet: "Sign this six-figure contract!"
Back in 2006, when I was a newish writer (I'd published four books under a pseudonym, but nothing on my own), I attended my first Sleuthfest. I was filled with trepidation--make that terror--about my elevator pitch. I didn't even want to go into the elevators, because I was afraid I'd run into an agent and blow my chance to pitch.
During the actual conference, I hung back. I watched as writers hounded an increasingly embattled group of agents and editors. Some even pursued their targets into the bathrooms to deliver a pitch. Over the course of the weekend, the expressions of the publishing professionals became glazed and semi-fearful, so accosted were they by the phalanxes of pitching newbies.
Here's what I learned about elevator pitches: Don't deliver one in an actual elevator, and never pitch to a publishing professional unless they specifically ask for it. Learn to read body cues; back off if you sense that your listener is merely being polite about your pitch, as opposed to genuinely enthusiastic.
At Sleuthfest, I was so afraid of pitching, I decided to limit my attempt to the "Agent Fest." This is where you sign up for 15-minutes of face time with an honest-to-God agent. This is the time to make your pitch.
But I was still nervous. At the last minute, I cancelled my appointment with my assigned agents, and gave my time to another writer (who seemed incredulous that I'd handed away such an opportunity).
I did keep my appointment with a NY editor, however. Here's why: the editor had actually read 30 pages of my work before our meeting. The agent's reaction would depend solely on my verbal skills. The editor would base her reaction on the actual writing. In the end, I trusted my manuscript more than my mouth.
It all worked out. The editor liked my story enough to request the rest of the manuscript. I went home and hurriedly wrote query letters that contained my pitch. I honestly can't remember what my pitch ended up being for the first Fat City Mystery, although it was something like, "Nancy Drew grows up, gains weight and develops a potty mouth." It must have worked, because within a half dozen queries, I had an agent, followed soon by a contract with a major publishing house.
Over time, I've become much more comfortable with pitching. It was helpful to attend meetings of Sisters in Crime and Mystery Writers of America, because both groups help you refine your speaking skills. Over the past few years I've been on panels and delivered presentations in person, so the whole speaking thing comes a tad easier these days.
But at my next conference, I may still avoid the elevators. I don't want to press my luck.
What about you? Have you had success with your elevator pitch? Does the idea of delivering one make you nervous? Any tips you can share?
13 comments:
I've given talks on how to pitch and even have a handout, but I still get nervous when it comes down to delivering one myself. If I already know the agent or editor, it's easier. But I'm better at writing the book than the tag line or cover copy. We writers need more classes in advertising skills.
ReplyDeleteGood points, Kathryn. Pitching is hard. No doubt about it. But the thing we all need to remember is that the agent or editor really wants to find a good book to represent or buy. They love books and the hunt for the next hit, or they wouldn't subject themselves to the situations you describe at conferences or the mountains of queries the received each day. They are not the enemy. Finding new talent is critical for staying in business.
Pitching tip: practice, practice and practice.I'm with you, Nancy--still easier to write than speak. But at least I don't get sick anymore right before a presentation, like I used to! Jordan, I still don't like pitching. I'll take writing back cover, any day. They're not the enemy, Joe? If I'd only known, lol! BK, you're right that passion is the key. It's much easier to sell someone an idea--anything, in fact--that way.
ReplyDeleteI find pitching to be frustrating more than nerve-wracking. At every conference I've pitched my work at agents and editors alike have said "Wow, sounds good!" then not signed me up/bought it.
It feels like when I was in high school and all the hot girls in my theater team all acted like they were attracted to me, flirted with me, confided in me and even trusted me to give them massages back stage between acts, or be around them as they changed their costumes. But in the end they always seemed to feel like I was their nice brother and other guys got to take them out on dates.
Even my way more beautiful than I expected to be married to wife admitted years later that she felt that way about me at first. Had her English language skills been better at the time she would've probably been able to ask advice about some other guy.
I think I'm feeling pessimistic as I gear up to start a round of pitches all over again with my next story. Someone please slap me with a smile stick so I can get back to positivity.- AnonymousMarch 20, 2012 at 5:32 PM
Off topic, sort of
What's the difference between a pitch and the back cover copy? One sells your book to an agent/editor and the other to the reader? Can you use the same copy for both? Also, how does one approach the pitch/back cover copy for the second and subsequent books in a series? For example, do I start with a callback to the first book by saying, "In his second outing, River Madden blah, blah blah..." Or do I do the second book with no callback to the first and let other indicators do that work (like a tag line on the cover "River Madden Book Two")? I would love to see a post on this subject from one of you in the future. And thanks for taking the time to write your blog. As a new indie author, I learn something interesting every week.
Kathy aka K S Ferguson
Tag line for my contemporary fantasy novel: Light bulbs talk to River Madden; God doesn't. Like you, at my first conference I avoided pitching in elevators or out and about - the agents looked so harassed and glazed by the onslaught of all the other newbie writers they didn't need me as well! I sat at a table at lunch next to the woman who would become my first agent. About three other authors pitched to her across the soup bowls but I waited until we had chatted a bit and then, and only when she asked, did I give her my synopsis. She read it, liked it, asked for the first 50 pages, liked that, asked for the whole manuscript and then became my agent. Nowadays I feel like I still need the elevator pitch so I can give anyone who asks a short pithy summary of the book(or books) I have written. You never know who you might meet in an elevator or otherwise so it helps to be prepared!
ReplyDeleteAnon 5:32, my idea of a tag line versus back cover: the tag line is the first punch you throw when selling the book's "Big Idea", and the back copy is the follow through. The tag line would be the beginning of the pitch, and the follow-through (more details) would be similar to the back copy. When I sent query letters to agents, I started with the tag line, then added a paragraph, which later became a version of the back copy. Other writers may have different ideas, however!
ReplyDeleteI'm late chiming in here, Kathryn, but I have to say I'm still awful at pitching. Just can't do it very well.
Everyone knows their limits, and pitching poorly is mine. Unless, of course a group of friends brainstorm with me to produce one.
So, you ask, how did I land my editor and agent? Networking. Chatting at lunches, dinners, in bars. I found getting to know editors, agents and other authors gave me the time I needed to eventually get to the point of my work--by discussion! LOL!!
Luckily, it worked. But, it probably took longer than it would have if I developed a good pitch! So, I recommend learning to pitch.

The Mini John Cooper Works GP will be made as a hatchback only. There have been spy shots of Mini Coupes believed to have more hardcore upgrades, and a two-door GP with sportier styling would seem a logical step forward for the brand.
But the GP's development chief Jorg Weidinger has all but killed off the chances of further GP variants, despite the heavy investment that's gone into the special edition's all-new suspension components and bespoke Kumho Ecsta tyres.
'For the moment there are no plans to share these components with any other Minis' Weidinger told evo. 'The GP has history: it was a hatch, it is a hatch and it should stay a hatch.'
He also ruled out a chase for any Nurburgring headlines, despite the new GP lapping the Nordschleife substantially quicker than its predecessor, and its 8min23sec time hauling it towards the front-wheel-drive records set by various Renaultsport Meganes.
'The Nurburgring was just for development.

February Conferences – SES & LAC
In February I will be at two conferences both of which are in London.
This year will be a change for me as I will be heading to the iGaming London Affiliate Conference (LAC), this year being held at Earls Court, not to speak on a session, but I will be moderating the SEO track for the day on Saturday 8th February. There are some great sessions lined up from Technical SEO to The Future of Link Building to Future Trends in SEO, with a bit of Black Hat vs White Hat thrown into the mix too. I've only moderated the odd session before at conferences, as I'm normally the one presenting, so it will be a good day I reckon and I hope to be able to bring a bit of my insight into each of the sessions being run.

Abstract | The usage of electroconvulsive therapy for the acute resolution of catatonia in autistic children and adults is a novel area that has received increased attention over the past few years. Reported length of the acute ECT course varies among these patients, and there is no current literature on maintenance ECT in autism. The maintenance ECT courses of three patients with autism who developed catatonia are presented. Clinical, research, legal, and administrative implications for ECT treatment in this special population are discussed. |

Financial Crisis NIMBY
This is interesting. I think the more important question is whether or not the above breaks are extended thus kicking the can a little further down the road or whether these breaks come to an end and the country begins to have some sort of reckoning for all of the incredibly easy and consumer friendly policies and the various too big to fail protection policies enacted.
My own belief system (which is probably not relevant) calls for tearing off the band aid, I've said this all along and of course that is not what has happened. Many believe that housing and jobs are the two important parts of the US economy. Housing is still drifting lower (for the most part) and while employment numbers have not looked as bad as housing (we'll see if the increase in participation rates persists) we are still way behind most other past economic downturns in terms of job recovery.
It would shock me if somehow the political will was exhibited such that the country turned the corner on being accountable for all that has gone on. The Fed's intention to keep rates at zero into 2014 supports the idea that no such corner will be turned, at least not yet.
I don't know when the country will ever be accountable but if it happens it could be very ugly. It seems as though many accept that not everyone will get what they want but far fewer believe that they will be the ones to give anything up. This is very visible in the comments on posts about social security. Some folks believe that to not get their full payment is to be stolen from by the government.
Without getting into either side of that sentiment, if you are fully entitled to benefit from some pool of capital (like a pension) starting in five years and three years from now that pool of capital goes bust then entitled or not you face the reality of not getting paid. Pensions have PBGC but social security does not. While a five year timetable for social security is not correct the 2030s could be and so people of a certain age, who will absolutely be entitled to X amount may only end up with some percentage of X or not be able to start accessing X until much later than they expect.
I have no doubt that such an outcome would cause a huge outrage. There's a NIMBY sense to what must occur if there is ever to be a financial reckoning but whatever the reality is that sacrifice of some sort will be in everyone's back yard, hopefully everyone plans and prepares accordingly.

financial reckoning?
Have you ever considered just shutting the television off?
Much of the chatter out there is just that: Chatter. Talking heads that really don't know very much.
Considering other eras mankind has gone through, we're actually living in one of the sweet spots. - 6:45 AM

I hear you on the expiration of serveral tax reductions. It's going to be VERY interesting. Well, actually probably more pathetic.
I'm more inclined to rip the bandaid off as well - let the tax cuts all expire - but given the role of Grover Nordquist in all of this, I have zero idea how it will turn out.And of course that affects the investment changes I've made, but such is life. - 7:34 AM

i think it will be means testing so the wealthy and even not so wealthy will be affected.
- Justin said...
Surely means testing is fairer, as long as you're not faced with losing thousands if your income or wealth reaches a certain figure. For example a multi-millionaire wouldn't receive anything and someone whose income is $100k would receive reduced entitlements.

who knows how far it will come down, Obama obviously thinks $250k is "rich" although this would happen after he is out.

For the first time since September 2005, the Broncos have three kicking specialists on the 53-man roster.
Joining Jason Elam and Paul Ernster for practice on Wednesday morning was Central Florida alumnus Matt Prater, who was signed off the Miami Dolphins' practice squad.
Prater kicked for the Atlanta Falcons in Weeks 1 and 2, and while his leg was strong, he struggled with accuracy. Three of his four kickoffs went for touchbacks and he averaged 71.3 yards per kickoff, but he was 1-of-4 on his field-goal attempts, making one from 45 yards away but missing from 26, 43 and 44 yards before being released.
Prater joined Miami's practice squad last month.
Prater is the third member of a growing UCF alumni society on the Broncos' roster, joining Brandon Marshall and Paul Carrington. All were seniors on the 2005 team that turned a winless finish the year before into a Hawaii Bowl bid.
Denver still has one vacancy on its practice squad after its decision to promote Roderick Rogers to the 53-man roster Tuesday.
