My First Sale by Meg Cabot
I can't remember when I first started reading Meg Cabot, but it was before she started publishing her Princess Diary series. I met her once at a book signing. She wasn't quite as famous, but she was just as endearing then as she is now. Her effervescent personality, which shines through even a photograph, is only part of the reason why she is so successful. Most of her success can be attributed to her determination and refusal to just not quit. She's been blogging since 2003; writing dozens of books; attending movie premiers with Julie Andrews; and giving author tips on how to behave in public. If you haven't read a Meg Cabot yet, you should. It will put a smile on your face. Queen of Babble in the Big City is in stores on May 29.
It wasn't until my dad died suddenly fourteen years ago (I was twenty-six) that my husband pointed out that life is short: Maybe I should try to get some of the books I was always writing for fun (but never showed to anyone–including him) published.
I realized he was right. What did I have to lose anyway? The worst they could say was no.
My first rejection letter came the following week. It was followed by two years of rejection letters from agents almost daily (not on Sundays or major holidays, when there was no mail delivery). I kept all my rejection letters in a US postal mail bag under my bed. I vowed when I got published I would a) sneer at everyone who'd rejected me, and b) show the bag to school kids and tell them never to give up on their dreams.
I don't know why I didn't quit. Especially when I got such widely divergent rejection letters, everything from the word NO! scrawled across my own query letter and mailed back to me in my SASE, to offers from agents who wanted to help rewrite my book(s–"I wasn't sending out query letters about just one book. I had letters out for several completed mystery series and four different historical romances) for a mere $500.
Then one day the phone rang. An agent (whose agency had rejected me three times before, but this particular agent was brand new–"in fact, I would later find out it was her practically first day) liked the partial for one of my medievals. She asked to see more.
I had been down this road before. I figured she was going to ask for $500. But I sent the remaining half of my book anyway.
The next week, that agent called to say she would represent me. FOR FREE.
I really consider that my first sale, because for me getting an agent has been the hardest part of the publishing process. Forty-five novels later, Laura Langlie (currently an independent agent based in Brooklyn) is still my agent–"the only living person who has read everything I have ever written (that I have actually shown to anyone), including many, many manuscripts that to this day have still never been published.
Laura never actually managed to sell that medieval. She did, however, manage to sell my first published book, a Victorian romance I wrote under the pen name Patricia Cabot (Where Roses Grow Wild) for $5,000 to Jennifer Weiss at St. Martin's Press, who liked the medieval but felt that time period wasn't doing well.
But, you know, seriously? That first sale was totally anti-climatic compared to getting an agent. Until what happened next.
Fast forward another couple of years: I was thirty, a published author, but still working my day job. I started writing a book about a girl whose mom was dating her teacher (because mine was). To disguise it so no one would think I was writing about myself, I made the girl 14 years old, and a princess. I gave the book to Laura.
She said, "I think this would be a great movie.–? I laughed. "Good one!–?
She co-agented the film rights with a film agent, Bill Contardi (still my film agent today), who sent the manuscript out to Hollywood. Laura started peddling the publishing rights in Manhattan, everyone seemed to hate The Princess Diaries. I collected huge amounts of rejection letters to add to my postal bag.
Until one day the phone rang. Abigail McAden, a twenty-five year old assistant editor at HarperCollins Children's Books, called to say she loved the book. She bought it (her first hardcover sale ever) for $8,000 (Abby–"now Editorial Director of Point, Scholastic's new teen imprint, for whom I'll be writing three new series–is still my editor today).
Then a few weeks later the phone rang AGAIN. It was Laura to say that Bill Contardi had called. Whitney Houston wanted to produce The Princess Diaries as a film. Eventually Disney came on board as the studio, and Garry Marshall signed on to direct. Someone conned Julie Andrews into starring. I thought it was all a load of hogwash until a check with a lot more zeroes than I had ever seen before showed up in the mail with my name on it.
And the rest, as they say, is history.
Oh, except, for my US postal bag with all my rejections in it! I should mention that this bag, which I still have, turns out to be way too heavy to carry, so I have never actually taken it to any schools to show kids how they should never give up on their dreams. Although I do go to schools and tell them that. I just don't bring the bag as a visual aid. The truth is, I can't even lift it.
And I've never sneered at any of the people who rejected me. Because sneering isn't very princessy.

Enjoy Any Natural Space Near Your City

- Anywhere. Everywhere.
Most cities, like my adopted home of Chicago, invest in some kind of tax-funded forest preserves, wetlands, or other natural public spaces. This means that you, an average tax-paying citizen, own a chunk of nature within reasonable distance of where you are right now. Run, don't walk, to that nearest space and keep on running without fear of traffic. Take ownership of what's rightfully yours, protect it from commercial interests, allow your kids to get a little dirt under their toes, and allow your inner kid to get a little dirty too.

Congress: Weights and Measures
10:53 AM, Dec 27, 2013 • By GEOFFREY NORMAN
The year-end verdict on Congress is pretty stern according to CNN, which publishes a poll indicating:
And Drew Desilver of Pew Research points out that:
All of which is, no doubt, true. But misses one essential fact. The 113th Congress did not pass any laws that ran to 2,000 pages, intended to "fix" the health care system. By that measure, it has been, if not productive, then certainly merciful.

Frances Ha
- Year:2012
- Rating:M
- Director:Noah Baumbach
- Cast:Greta Gerwig , Adam Driver, Mickey Sumner
- Release Date:August 15, 2013
- Distributor:Transmission
- Running time:86 minutes
- Film Worth:$18.00
- FILMINK rates movies out of $20 - the score indicates the amount we believe a ticket to the movie to be worth
Greta Gerwig is superb in this smart, candid and charming feature about navigating early adulthood in the big city.
When Frances attempts to pay for dinner in one of Frances Ha's best scenes, her card declines, and she blurts out, "I'm so embarrassed – I'm not a real person yet." And that earnest but beguiling sentiment is at the centre of the latest feature from writer/director, Noah Baumbach (The Squid And The Whale, Greenberg), who's crafted a smart, wry and surprisingly tender film about standing at the crossroads of adulthood.
Greta Gerwig (who shares a co-writing credit) plays the eponymous character, an aspiring dancer in New York who, at 27, has probably passed the age of making her big break. Early on, Frances rebuffs her boyfriend's offer to share an apartment, only to be dumped and then learn that her best friend and roommate, Sophie (Mickey Sumner), is moving out. We then follow Frances through various living arrangements as she attempts to both break from and cling to her past.
Taking its cues from its disarming lead character, Frances Ha is packed with scenes that make epic cinema out of the most intimate moments – watch as Frances makes an emergency run to an ATM, or pirouettes through the streets to David Bowie's "Modern Love." Shot in gorgeous black and white, Frances Ha takes the familiar notion of being young in a big city, and makes that template fresh and romantic again. It's not devoid of pain, however, as we watch Frances struggle to make ends meet, with Baumbach deftly revealing that while endless twentysomethings may fall in love with New York, it's a city that doesn't always love them back. But the way that Frances (brought to life in an irresistible, idiosyncratic but grounded performance by Gerwig) navigates these challenges and ultimately accepts adulthood is quietly heroic.

Malta needs Climate Change Legislation

Friends of the Earth (FOE) Malta said it is glad to note that the labour spokesperson for the environment, Leo Brincat is taking political action on climate change, in particular the proposal to pass a Private Members' Bill at Parliament level.
In a statement on Thursday, FOE said "that this is the way forward to make sure that the current, and subsequent, governments are committed to act on the pressing issue of climate change."
On a political front, FOE are participating in the European wide Big Ask campaign with the aim to lobby the government to adopt a Climate Change Bill in Parliament by the end of 2010. Friends of the Earth Malta has been collecting petitions since February 2008 and this campaign has been very successful and popular with the public. However little action has been taken in Malta to foster renewable energy and thus contribute to the fight against climate change.
"Although proper research and debate are required, organising conferences and writing voluminous reports are not enough to combat climate change. The country needs to move forward; there is a need for immediate reduction in our greenhouse gas emissions and this can only be achieved by increased investment in renewable energy. We believe that this will also assure energy security to the Maltese population." FOE continued.
The petition that is being circulated by Friends of the Earth Malta states that the European Commission has requested that by 2020, 10% of our energy requirements will be derived from renewable sources. Malta has also been granted a 5% increase in carbon dioxide emissions above 2005 levels. Friends of the Earth Malta welcomes this agreement. However Friends of the Earth Malta believes that Malta can better this target.
Friends of the Earth Malta is lobbying for the enactment of a National Climate Change Legislation that enforces a net decrease of 10% below 1990 levels. This would promote: national legal enforceable targets, encouragement towards investment in Research and Development for innovation in the renewable energy sector, inspiration for new business markets, promotion of a low-carbon economy.
Friends of the Earth Malta said it is advocating the enactment of a National Climate Change Legislation to ensure a net decrease of 10% in carbon dioxide emissions below 1990 levels.
FOE's petition can be signed online at www.foemalta.org/bigask

WeNews correspondent
Thursday, August 26, 2004
Controversy has erupted in a key Senate race in Florida. EMILY's List, the political action committee that supports pro-choice female Democrats, is being charged with illegally coordinating campaigns with Democratic front-runner Betty Castor.
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (WOMENSENEWS)--As the primary races for a wide-open U.S. Senate seat heat up in Florida, a political activist is charging EMILY's List, the Washington, D.C., political-action committee, with illegally coordinating campaigns with the Democratic front-runner, Betty Castor.
Lori Glasser, a supporter of U.S. Congressman Peter Deutsch, the Democratic rival closest in the polls, has filed a Federal Elections Commission complaint against Castor and EMILY's List. Glasser--who is pro-choice and also supports much of Castor's political agenda as well as that of EMILY's List--says she's doing it because she's tired of membership groups from outside the state influencing elections in Florida.
"I'm not happy it's EMILY's List," Glasser told Women's eNews. "But I made up my mind four years ago that the election was stolen from us, and I don't want another outside agency influencing Florida's election again . . . I'm sorry it's EMILY's List."
The Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002, popularly known as the McCain-Feingold bill, restricted the amount of "soft money" contributions from membership organizations to federal candidates. But a federal tax provision allows groups to raise unlimited funds to support a candidate as long as they don't give the money directly to a candidate or work with them on the message or the timing of the message.
The Deutsch campaign is also considering filing a complaint, a spokesperson said.
Both EMILY's List and the Castor campaign deny the allegations.
A Castor campaign spokesperson said well over $1 million can be attributed to EMILY's List supporters. That's almost half of Castor's entire campaign war chest.
In addition, EMILY's List has bought about $800,000 worth of television commercials supporting Castor in major media markets in the state.
"There was no coordination at all. We saw (the TV commercials) just like everybody else did," Castor spokesperson, Matt Burgess, told Women's eNews.
The controversy is expected to have little impact on the election. It could take the Federal Election Commission more than a year rule on the complaint, but both EMILY's List and the Castor campaign could face civil and criminal penalties if the FEC's investigation confirms the allegations. No Castor campaign contributor, including members of EMILY's List, has been accused of giving more than the federal limits.
According to a Mason-Dixon poll conducted this week, Castor was leading, with 45 percent of the vote to Deutsch's 31 percent. If she wins, Castor would be only the second woman--after Paula Hawkins--elected to the U.S. Senate from Florida. Only 14 women currently serve in the U.S. Senate.
The crowded field of four Democrats and eight Republicans will be thinned out in an Aug. 31 winner-take-all primary, before the party victors face off in November. U.S. Sen. Bob Graham, a popular Democrat who is retiring after an unsuccessful bid for the presidency, currently holds the seat.
Graham won the seat in 1986 after beating the one-term Republican incumbent, Sen. Paula Hawkins of Winter Park. With their party only barely in the majority in the state, Democrats are eager to hold onto the seat.
EMILY's List spokesperson Ramona Oliver wouldn't confirm how much her organization has contributed, saying the money is sent by individual contributors, not by the organization itself. By "bundling" the contributions so they go directly to the candidate and are disclosed by the candidate, the organization avoids federal laws prohibiting groups with hidden contributors from running television ads promoting candidates within 60 days of an election.
The group makes it a policy not to disclose how much it steers to candidates, she said.
EMILY's List is currently supporting 19 female candidates in U.S. House, Senate and gubernatorial campaigns and has supported more than 300 candidates in its 20-year history, Oliver said. The group has helped elect 11 women to the U.S. Senate as well as 55 female members of Congress and seven female governors.
"Betty Castor is a very strong candidate, and EMILY's List members are extremely excited and energized in supporting her," Oliver said. "She is a strong leader and ran a strong campaign focused on how she can solve problems."
In the sworn complaint, Glasser cites U.S. Supreme Court precedent that showed there need not be an express agreement between campaigns working together for there to be illegal coordination of the campaigns. She charges that Castor's campaign cut back its media buys in the markets where EMILY's List bought TV spots promoting Castor's achievements during her tenure as state education commissioner, when she put together a health plan for poor children.
Glasser also charges that former EMILY's List employees are now working on the Castor campaign.
The Deutsch camp, meanwhile, has been promoting the congressman's 100-percent pro-choice voting history and his push to expand research using embryonic stem cells to combat diseases such as Alzheimer's and diabetes.
In an interview, a campaign staffer said Deutsch has been raising more money from within the state than Castor has.
"Congressman Deutsch is raising money from the voters in Florida and has received a substantial amount," said Deutsch spokesperson Roy Teicher. "We do not have a special interest PAC that's campaigning on our behalf."
In response, Oliver defends the group's efforts and says EMILY's List shouldn't be characterized as an out-of-state or outside organization as Glasser and the Deutsch campaign charge. About 10,000 of its 93,000 members live in Florida, she said.
"We're Floridians, we're Pennsylvanians, we're individual men and women who are focused on the goal of getting good women candidates elected," Oliver said.
In the Republican primary former U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development Secretary Mel Martinez and Bill McCollum, a member of congress for 20 years who lost four years ago to U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, are in a dead heat, according to the latest polling data. McCollum is best known for being one of the leaders in the impeachment push against President Bill Clinton, who was acquitted by the Senate.
Martinez, who is getting a lot of White House support, has a better chance of beating Castor than does McCollum, according to the Mason-Dixon poll. Republican insiders are so sure Martinez can carry it off that they have scheduled him for a short speech on the final night of the GOP convention, just two days after the primary, according to National Review political reporter John J. Miller.

It is official. Funnyman Jon Stewart has jumped from fake news to real power broker.
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner in early April held a private meeting with Stewart, according to Geithner's appointments calendar released by the Treasury. And Geithner even came to him, holding court in Stewart's office at the world headquarters of "The Daily Show." There it is on Geithner's calendar from 12:30 to 2 p.m. on April 2: "Off-the-Record Meeting with Jon Stewart, Jon Stewart's Office, 604 West 52nd Street."
"Jon Stewart is influential in America, so we took the opportunity for the two to meet and to discuss the economy," a Treasury spokesman told Bloomberg News, which earlier had ferreted out the Stewart meeting….
Uncertainties lingering over the financial regulatory landscape are slowing down economic recovery in the West, as Hong Kong and Singapore emerge to compete with London and New York as new global centers of finance, Blackstone Group Chief Executive Stephen Schwarzman said.
Speaking at a lecture at Hong Kong University today, Schwarzman warned that the slow speed with which regulators around the world are defining new rules to govern the global financial system is hampering economic growth, particularly as banks will remain cautious about lending until they have greater clarity about what's expected of their capital structures.
"Uncertainty is the enemy of economic growth," said Schwarzman, as customers remain "starved for funding," thereby "retarding economic growth and job creation in the West."
He said it isn't clear that the "proliferation" of new agencies in the U.S. to regulate the economy, particularly in consumer finance, is the answer, though greater scrutiny is undoubtedly needed to protect consumers.
"To provide the funding needs for a meaningful business recovery, banks need to know how much loan volume to add to their balance sheets…and not exit income-generating businesses" at a time when banks need "all their income sources to rebuild capital bases." He also warned that new regulation such as the so-called Basel III rules for banks and the Dodd-Frank Act were "ill-conceived" as they were driven less by economic rationale than "populist anger."…..

As a follow-up to my review of the latest Oliver Stone film, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," I thought I would offer up something for you film buffs with a little time on your hands this weekend or later this autumn.
The history of Wall Street is a history of fear and greed, temptation and envy, fleeting glory and ruin–themes that are all beautifully explored in the following six films:
Wall Street (1987): Oliver Stone's iconic statement of 1980s Wall Street excess. In Michael Douglas's Gordon Gekko, we get a Nietzschean ubermensch for the ages. And in Charlie Sheen's Bud Fox, we get a working class striver who is seduced by Wall Street's charms before finding his true self and bringing down Gekko. The movie may seem a bit dated, but its take on Wall Street still holds true. Lunch is still for wimps and greed is still good.
Glengarry Glen Ross (1992): David Mamet's masterpiece and the "Death of a Salesman" of my generation. Two days in the life of four struggling real-estate agents desperate for the "good leads." Want to understand Wall Street? Watch Alec Baldwin's speech as Blake, the successful agent lording over his loser colleagues. "We're adding a little something to this month's sales contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac Eldorado….Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is you're fired." Fear and greed. The real-estate bubble. It's all there…….
Swearing may help you do your @#!%ing job.
Yeah, you read that correctly.
Specifically, a few choice and colorful words vent the psychological steam that can cloud thinking and hamstring productivity, according to a new paper in Psychosomatics journal. Swearing also conveys the sort of aggression that is rewarded with honors and promotions in high-stress workplaces.
Dick Fuld, apparently, was onto something.
The authors, both psychiatrists, focused on swearing in hospitals, noting that curses have the power "both to hurt and heal." On the plus side, they wrote that expletives offer a "channel of catharsis" that purges "negative emotion."
In other words, some profanity actually clears the head, a finding that echoes a 2009 study on swearing….

It wasn't a good day for Wall Street vets or watchdogs in the New York primary.
Reshma Saujani, a former lawyer for hedge fund Fortress Investments and white shoe law firm Davis Polk, lost the Democratic primary race for a Congressional seat representing Manhattan's Upper East Side.
Saujani was easily defeated by long-term incumbent Carolyn Maloney. Interestingly, during the campaign, both candidates sought to defend Wall Street, where many of the district's residents work, against populist attacks, mostly from their own party. Saujani had backing from financier Steven Rattner and people close to New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg. But in the end, Maloney raised more money
Rick Lazio, a former lobbyist for J.P. Morgan Chase who was taunted by opponents for earning a $1.3 million bonus during the 2008 bailout, lost out in the Republican primary for governor. The former Congressman was beaten by tea party candidate Carl Paladino, who made waves when he compared Obama's health-care overhaul to 9/11. In one campaign ad, Paladino created a parody of the poster for the new Oliver Stone "Wall Street" movie. In the spoof poster, Lazio was portrayed as protégé of Gordon Gekko, according to the NY Times.
So was this a vote against candidates with ties to the financial industry?

In the spring of 2009, writers of things macroeconomic were reducing to seeking out microeconomic signs that the U.S. economy was recovering. In weak economic reports, commentators peered into the nooks and crannies for something, anything, to hold on to: improved consumer spending here, strong hotel bookings over there, a slower decline in housing starts elsewhere.
Alas, those incipient green shoots seem to have withered in the East Coast's scorching summer. The latest economic reports are viewed by the markets as uniformly depressing and suddenly the historical allusion du jour is to Japan's Lost Decade.
Recently, Japanese bank analyst J. Brian Waterhouse of CLSA and Mike Mayo, Credit Agricole Securities banks analyst, held a conference call titled "Lessons from a Lost Decade." The uptake? That while there may be similarities between the position of Japanese banks in the early 1990s and U.S. banks now, the U.S. isn't going to be another Japan. Here is an edited version of Mayo's argument from a transcript of the call:
If I were to summarize the big difference between the Japanese banks…and US banks, the 'short reads' would be #4, #8, and #13. It took the Japanese 4 years to recognize the losses, 8 years to recapitalize the banks, and 13 years to even adjust the policy towards some of the root causes. The 'long way' would be to use the letters: J. A. P. A. N.
J stands for Jobs: In Japan, it's been more a case of preservation of jobs over preservation of profits. That's not the case in the U.S. There are still profit-maximizing banks in the U.S. The U.S. has double-digit unemployment, 1 out of 10 people are unemployed. That is bad, but it's also recognition that sometimes there will be short-term pain for longer-term benefit.
A stands for Accounting: It took the Japanese banks four years to take loan-loss provisions. Before that, the Japanese banks weren't allowed to take provisions until after a default. While 1989 was really the start of the Japanese problems, the crisis didn't start until 1993 under Basel I, when the Japanese banks stepped up and started to recognize the losses.…There are many problems with U.S. banks and accounting right now….But having said that, banks have recognized a good level of their bad loans…and increased loan-loss provisions.
P is for Policy: [In regard to] policy in the U.S., I have many criticisms. I think in some ways it's not tough enough. That said, it certainly isn't Japan…..
By Joyce Li, of China Real Time Report:
Johnny Carson used to say, "Never follow an animal act or child act." How about a politician?
Well Michael Douglas, famous for playing the unscrupulous takeover artist Gordon Gekko in the movie "Wall Street," has agreed to appear at CLSA's investor conference in Hong Kong this September. While Douglas follows in the footsteps of other celebrities who have appeared at the brokerage house's annual get-together, the most recent speaker was former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who made her international debut at the 2009 forum, speaking about the Federal Reserve's role in the financial crisis.
Other previous speakers include former U.S. President Bill Clinton, his vice president, Al Gore, and Nobel Peace Prize winner Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
Douglas, of course, won the Oscar for Best Actor for his role as the avaricious corporate titan in the original "Wall Street," released in 1987. Gekko's famous line, "greed, for lack of a better word, is good," came to embody the money-obsessed 1980s, replete with its leveraged buyouts and corrupt bankers.
He will speak on Sept. 15 on "topics ranging from filmmaking to nuclear abolition and the prevention of small arms proliferation," according to a news release. More than 30 other speakers also will appear, including contrarian investor Marc Faber.

Jeannette Neumann, of The Wall Street Journal, reports:
In February 2003, the chief executive of the California Public Employees' Retirement System, or Calpers, was sent this letter making a number of predictions.
It forecast that a housing bubble would soon deflate and wreak havoc on average consumers.
It urged Calpers to resist risky investments in a push for higher returns.
Aggressive investing, it said, could jeopardize retirement benefits.
The letter even suggested–tongue-in-cheek–it might be wise to bury gold in the backyard in anticipation of the looming burst of the housing bubble.
The housing market, of course, did collapse–beginning in late 2006. Some Calpers investments from risky land deals to massive housing complexes went bust. The fund, underfunded, recently raised employer contribution rates and is considering lowering its annual return goals. Since February 2003, the price of gold is up about 240%.
The prescient letter, sent to former Calpers Chief Executive Fred Buenrostro, wasn't from a Wall Street analyst or a Federal Reserve governor. It was from the leader of a small highway-patrol union in California.
Jon Hamm is chief executive of the 14,000-member California Association of Highway Patrolmen, where he has worked for 26 years. He has never held a position in finance or economics. Rather, he is an economics junkie who pores over financial websites in his free time. "I don't count myself to be an expert," the 51-year-old Hamm says.
Still, Hamm notes, he considers his interest more than a leisurely hobby. Having a view on what is to come economically helps him when he negotiates benefits with an eye to the long term, he says.
Members of his union and acquaintances have been among Hamm's key economic indicators. Around the time he sent the letter, he had been mentally filing away anecdotes about highway patrol officers and friends purchasing $400,000 homes. Hamm negotiates union members' salaries–officers earn an average of around $60,000 a year–so his antennae went up…..
Gregory Curl, who lost a high-profile battle last year for the top job at Bank of America, doesn't appear ready to retreat permanently to his cattle ranch just yet. The 62-year-old Midwesterner has been spotted recently using an office at New York investment bank Sandler O'Neill + Partners.
It isn't clear if Curl, who maintains a farm in Lebanon, Mo., is working for Sandler O'Neill or simply camping out while he scouts for other opportunities. Curl couldn't be reached to comment.
Curl isn't working for Sandler O'Neill in "any official capacity," said a person familiar with the situation, but the firm has given the former Bank of America executive a space there, this person said. Another person familiar with the situation said Curl has been seen in the hallways recently and is using a large, previously unoccupied office.
At Bank of America, Curl was the architect behind a string of acquisitions that cemented the institution's status as the nation's largest bank by assets, ending with the late 2008 decision to buy securities firm Merrill Lynch. He was a trusted adviser to former CEOs Ken Lewis and Hugh McColl as they turned a small, upstart bank into a coast-to-coast powerhouse.
Sandler O'Neill represents a lot of small and midsize banks around the country. Just this week it advised TIB Financial, of Naples, Fla., in a deal handing control to a group of former Bank of America executives, including McColl and former Bank of America Vice Chairman Gene Taylor…..
The vintage street sign marking the corner of Wall Street and Broad Street that American financier John Pierpont Morgan saw every day on his way into the office sold for $116,500 during an auction on Tuesday.
The sign, which stood outside of the J.P. Morgan & Co. bank headquarters at the turn of the 20th century, was sold through Christie's to an unidentified telephone bidder, the auction house said. It was previously held by a private owner and on display at the Museum of American Finance, just yards away from where the street sign originally stood. (Click here to read Deal Journal's earlier post on the owner's attempt to sell the sign on eBay.)
The new owner gets a piece of financial history, but it isn't exactly in mint condition. The sign has some slight damage, most likely from shrapnel from the 1920 Wall Street bombing when a wagon loaded with dynamite exploded outside the bank. The attack killed 38 people and caused severe damage to the J.P. Morgan headquarters.
Nobody was arrested in the bombing, and the street sign was taken down shortly afterward.
At the time the sign was taken down, the Dow Jones industrial average was calculated at about 100 points and included components like Studebaker and Baldwin Locomotive.
The sign's value was originally estimated at $60,000 to $80,000, according to Christie's website.

I just recently moved to Wyoming to attend the University. I moved my horse from Colorado to go there. So she is used to some pretty cold weather. However it is quite a bit colder up here. Now she is sore, it looks like her hips, and her hocks make a popping sound when she walks out. (like on the lunge line). I have not ridden her since I have arrived in Wyoming, and she wasn't sore before we came. I have been getting up there every other day and walking her around the arena, and the popping sounds dimish the more we walk.
Is there anything that I can give her to help the soreness and stiffness? And is there anything that I can do to help it?

Slate of early-season injures benefited West Greene underclassmen
TribLIVE Sports Videos
The injury bug did not do West Greene any favors early last season, and the losses on the field easily could be correlated to the losses on the bench.
In the first game of the season, West Greene lost starting running back/linebacker Curtis Jones and were hit again in the second game when back-up running back Donnie White went down.
In the second game, the offensive line lost guard Cody Jacobs for the season with a concussion.
Coach John Coss said he hopes the 0-9 overall record and 0-8 mark in the Class A Tri-County South Conference will be an aberration.
"I didn't know what to expect when those guys went down," he said. "(The team) did respond and played well for a few games in a row. When we go into the meat of the schedule, we didn't do well, but we hung in there."
Senior wide receiver Matt Johnston is expected to maintain his leadership role and help second-year starting quarterback Dalton Wildman take a step forward.
In 2011, the Wildman-to-Johnston combination showed flashes of what could be. Wildman threw for 575 yards, with 270 of those yards going in Johnston's direction.
"I think Dalton was under a bit of pressure early on in some of those games, but he seemed to settle in," Coss said. "I think he'll take a few steps forward this year and have a good year."
The team's strength will be its offensive line, which features a slew of players who saw the field last year. Trevin Bedilion (tackle), Beau Jackson (center), Bray Jackson (guard), Will VanNorman (G) and Damon Green (T) will start up front.
"Those guys up front are going to have to play well and stay healthy for us to improve," Coss said. "If one of them goes down, we'll be in trouble because I think our depth is going to be an issue."
West Greene was shut out in four games, including the last three last season, but will look to notch the first "W" of the year when it meets Bentworth in Week 1. Bentworth went 1-8 overall and 1-6 in the Class A Black Hills Conference last season.

You'll be on the move, but I suspect that you will enjoy that aspect. And by the looks of it, it is the beaches that have the biggest appeal.
I would tend to suggest cutting out Chiang Mai because you really aren't there long enough to do anything once you allow for travel time, etc. Instead, return to Bkk then fly from there to Phuket and add those days on to Koh Samui or another island. You will lose a full day getting from Ko Phi Phi to Koh Samui, and only manage it if you catch the night ferry to Koh Samui (which leaves 10pm or so from Surat Thani ). Otherwise, you'll stay the night in Surat Thani and catch a ferry the next day - but that'll take at least 1/2 day by the time you get to the day ferry Pier (Don Sak), and travel to Samui.
On the days that you travel aim for the earliest time possible to maximise your time in your arrival destination (ie flight to Phuket). Otherwise a lot of time is wasted just hanging around, waiting.

? Offshore: Still not many reports coming in from out deep - the weather has been keeping most boats on the dock. A few boats out of Port Canaveral found king mackerel around the Pelican Flats area while trolling live mullet over the 70-foot reef areas. Three- to five-foot seas are in the forecast for the weekend, but light winds could allow larger boats to explore the blue.

Mann Elementary School Reviews
Do not let your child go here if you can help it.
I attended Mann Elementary School from 1992 to 1994 for all of first and most of second grade. I was beaten up regularly. I had been punched, kicked, and even thrown down stairs. The walks home were horrendous, as children from Mann school were trying to start "gangs" in the 5th grade.
When I was switched to a county school I was incredibly far behind in most subjects. I also remember that at the end of the 93 school year and beginning of the next - our recesses for whatever reason were about two hours long. That's great for kids, I guess, but all there is to play on is a large black sea of asphalt.

Sun to scrap mobile Java; iPhone effect?
updated 04:40 pm EDT, Fri October 19, 2007
Sun Scrapping Phone Java
Sun is pushing its software development towards a single, monolithic version of Java that could have a significant effect on the future of cellphones, according to comments by company VP James Gosling at a press event. Though Sun has previously split its development of the near-universal platform into desktop and mobile versions, the company has confirmed that it would like to move every device to the full Standard Edition. The change would allow more advanced handhelds to take advantage of more features and would eliminate the compatibility problems that plague Java Mobile Edition, Sun says. Java ME is typically limited by default and requires extensions for more features, which prevents developers from safely writing for one mobile OS and knowing it will work for another.
The JavaFX Mobile platform demonstrated what Sun could do in this regard, according to CNET. The software is optimized for the small footprint needed for portable devices but includes nearly all the foundation of Java Standard Edition. Gosling noted that Sun was "pushing" Java ME towards the Standard version, though executive software VP Rich Green warned it could take as much as ten years to completely move Java to a desktop version.
Such moves may have long-term implications for the iPhone platform as well as other more advanced phones, many of which are now increasingly turning to desktop-like software as hardware performance improves. Apple chief Steve Jobs downplayed current forms Java as a "ball and chain" that would not be necessary in an age of Javascript and other, less demanding web code. However the iPhone's CPU also incorporates hardware Java support and could potentially run multiple Java programs that could be more readily ported to or from different phone plaforms.

December 1, 2015
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) -- Kurt Busch and Penske Racing have parted ways after yet another embarrassing incident for the 2004 NASCAR champion.
Penske Racing says in a Monday statement it is evaluating its options for the No. 22 Dodge.
The split comes after six bumpy years for Busch and Penske. Although Busch won 10 races since joining the organization in 2006, his meltdowns on his team radio were notorious and two crew chiefs have left the team in the last three years.
Busch also sparred this season with the media more than usual, and was fined $50,000 last month by NASCAR after he was caught on video by a fan being verbally abusive to an ESPN reporter.
Busch admitted last week he is seeing a sports psychologist for what he called personal issues.

Former Congressman Tim Mahoney charged with DUI
"Regrets" the arrest
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - In a black polo and black pants, former U.S. Representative Tim Mahoney walked out of the Palm Beach County jail around 11:30 a.m. Saturday morning facing DUI charges.
"I got arrested for DUI last night and it's regrettable," he said. "I'd like to thank law enforcement for all they do. They do an outstanding job."
In this instance, Palm Beach Gardens Police say the good job goes to a North Palm Beach officer who initially spotted the former Democratic U.S. Representative sleeping behind the wheel of his car. A Palm Beach Gardens Police spokesman said the vehicle was found near the southwest corner of U.S. 1 and PGA Blvd. on the Palm Beach Garden city line.
"I haven't had a chance to talk to my attorney. I plan to plead innocent because I made a conscious decision not to drive last night."
This is the latest chapter in Mahoney's public life. Mahoney was elected to Congress in 2006 when incumbent Mark Foley resigned in disgrace over emails he sent to teenage boys, but Mahoney's re-election was doomed when he admitted to cheating on his wife.
"There have been multiple relationships over the years that's why the situation with my family has to be repaired," Mahoney said in a previous News Channel 5 interview.
He also admitted to paying a former mistress, Patricia Allen, to avoid a sexual harassment lawsuit.
"It did not come from campaign funds it came out of my own pocket. I paid for it personally," he said in a previous interview with News Channel 5. "I regret how I treated (my wife). It was all handled very poorly."
Regret, that he feels once again on this day as he sat alone on his long cab ride back home.
Under the law, a DUI charge can be filed even if a car isn't moving as long as the driver has actual physical control over the vehicle.
