Many businesspeople haven't bothered to return from holiday since Pesach. Moses would have been proud of the exodus from the land of shrinking trade to, if not the "Promised" land, then certainly the "Land Where No Creditor Can Reach". The sentiment being: "I might as well be on holiday and lose money as lose it at work."
Reading the business pages in the past few weeks, one could be forgiven for thinking that we were still in the midst of an economic boom and that all the talk of credit crunches, collapsing banks and the like had just been a bad dream.
As we have become engrossed in stories of duck islands, moats and the "flipping" of second homes of late, the idea of floating a company on one of the public markets has seemed somewhat far-fetched by comparison.
However, there are some encouraging signs that the so-called "IPO market" (IPO stands for Initial Public Offering) is gearing itself up again for new business.
Last week I was at a Charity Conference — both participating and listening to speakers — on "How Charities Should Survive in the Recession". There was a panel of speakers covering all the professions and speakers from the charities themselves. One of the salient points was that the current environment allows people to rethink their whole agenda, not only cutting staff, but looking at pet projects which are either too expensive, or are not what the public want to buy into.
I am feeling reasonably optimistic. The last few months of 2008 were grim. The recession came as a shock — not the reality of it, but the way I felt about it.
I wasn't sure I had the energy for another economic downturn. Thankfully, that mood passed. My business has been through a thorough "service", is fit and healthy and I am up for the challenge of the next phase. If you are an entrepreneur, you cannot sit on your hands. You have to change.
One of the biggest issues facing investors at the moment is to decide both where and when to invest.
While the stock market has shown signs of life during March, bear market rallies are not uncommon during downturns.
Although price earnings multiples for the FTSE 100 are below long-term averages, they are still well above previous bear market troughs. Currencies are expected to devalue further as governments begin the process of "quantitative easing".
I have decided to ignore all media hysteria on the economy. Recession is a very personal matter and so I have evolved the RGV/PRB index as the most accurate method of gauging public confidence and economic trends, this being structured from weekly data gleaned from about 30 friends, colleagues and family.
March is a hectic time in the City. Analysts, fund managers, PR advisers and journalists try to cope with "reporting season". An array of listed companies, having spent a couple of months adding up the numbers from 2008, have been telling us how they did last year and, more importantly, how they expect to do in 2009.
We are now two months into 2009 and, as most people predicted, it is not getting much better. Banks are still getting a fairly bad press and RBS has announced a loss that almost defies description.
People's confidence in the financial sector is badly shaken, which is particularly sad as many people have been loyal shareholders of their banks for years and now have not only seen their capital fade away, their income, certainly in the short to medium term, has disappeared as well.
The banking crisis has left investors with much to mourn. Banks used to be havens of stability, offering savers a safe home for their cash, and shareholders a relatively secure investment with a decent annual dividend. But after a tumultuous year, they're no longer looking so attractive for either group.
So where should investors go to find safety? Savings accounts are still the obvious choice, provided you don't put more than £50,000 (the government's compensation limit in the event of problems) with any single bank.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Chapter 11 Summary
READ THE BOOK: Chapter 11
- Huck comes up with a fun little name and story: he—ahem, she—is Sarah Williams, his/her mother is sick, etc., etc.
- The woman is a chatty bird and tells "Sarah" all about the big news in town: the murder of Huck Finn.
- At first, she says, everyone thought Huck's Pap was the man responsible, but then they decided it was Jim, since he ran away on the same night of the murder.
- There's a reward out for both men: $200 for Pap, who ran away, afraid of getting lynched, and $300 for Jim.
- But woman is sure that Huck's father will wait for the murder business to die down, come back after about a year, and get Huck's $6,000 cool as you please.
- Oh, and the hunting party is going to check out Jackson's Island this very night, since she's recently seen smoke coming from that direction.
- Huck gets all nervous and fidgety. The woman isn't as naïve as she seems, and she asks for the girl's name again. Huck answers: "Mary Williams."
- Oops.
- He backtracks quickly and clarifies: Mary is his middle name, so he sometimes goes by that.
- The woman goes back to talking about herself and her family and her personal problems, and the two of them have some fun throwing lead at the various rats infesting her house.
- Unfortunately, Huck does an all-around awful job of acting like a girl, and the jig is up. The woman calls him out, saying she knows he is a runaway apprentice.
- Huck is all, "Aw, shucks, you caught me" and spins another yarn about being mistreated.
- Still, the women isn't yet satisfied. She asks Huck a series of questions about country life to test his new story.
- Of course, Huck knows all about cows and horses and so on, so he passes with flying colors.
- The woman, who finally introduces herself as Mrs. Judith Loftus, tells "George Peters" (Huck's new fake name) that next time he wants to pretend to be a girl, he should thread a needle properly.
- Good advice, lady. Meanwhile, Huck hauls it back to Jackson's Island and tells Jim that they have to get out.

Analysis: Chaotic oil power Libya far from partition
Written by Reuters, Monday, 07 October 2013
A thousand miles to the east, armed protesters had seized ports disrupting oil shipments into the Mediterranean in support of local activists who appointed a de facto prime minister.
Prime Minister Ali Zeidan's Libya sounds like a country on the verge of splitting into a jigsaw of rebellious enclaves each with their own government, militias and, importantly, their own share of OPEC member Libya's oil.
This weekend's U.S. military raid to snatch a top suspected al Qaeda operative from Tripoli only underscored how Libya's turmoil may make it easier for Islamist militants to find safe haven there.
Two years after civil war ended the 42-year rule of Muammar Gaddafi, federalist ambitions complicate Zeidan's fragile control over former rebels still jostling for more power.
His challenge is clearest in the east, where protesters claiming to protect Libya's oil from corrupt elites have closed ports, dug in and threatened to sell oil independently for their Cyrenaica region, long an anti-Gaddafi stronghold.
There, the main city Benghazi has already set up its own council demanding to run local affairs, and called for state oil company NOC to return to an area that was once Libya's economic heartland.
"The government and congress exploit Libya's wealth and use it to serve their agendas," said Ibrahim al-Jathran, the former head of an oil protection security unit who defected and seized eastern ports as a self-styled federalist chieftain.
Yet as chaotic as Libya appears, it is far from partition or from taking the path of Iraq, where federalism splits oil revenue between Baghdad's Arab-led government and a Kurdish enclave that runs its own administration and armed forces.
Rather than a widespread popular movement, Libya's autonomy protests have grown out of Tripoli's lack of control, tribal loyalties and a series of unresolved local grievances over security, corruption and poor services that have festered since the 2011 revolution.
Independence declarations by Cyrenaica and more recently by the southern Fezzan region change little on the ground politically, analysts say, as they have no mass support for now, and carry no authority under Libya's transitional arrangement.
But the risk is that such demands could drive Libya deeper into chaos, with a weak government paralyzed by inertia and armed militias with little popular support holding Tripoli to ransom by shutting down oil in the name of federalism.
That scenario has already drawn comparisons to Nigeria, where militants with the Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND) have attacked oil installations, kidnapped foreign workers and siphoned off crude for sale under the banner of fighting for the oppressed people of the Niger Delta.
Without a clear central government response, Libya may still slowly fragment with competing regions and cities, loyal to rival tribal and ethnic groups, vying for control of local oil and gas resources.
"They are trying to use this power as a bargaining tool with the state. They want to disrupt the current political process and to do so they threaten to break off from Libya," said International Crisis Group's Claudia Gazzani.
"Whether this becomes an armed confrontation that leads to greater autonomy depends very much on how the government responds to these peoples' demands."
Libyan federalists play upon old divisions dating back to before Gaddafi came to power in 1969. They point to 1951 when power was devolved to Cyrenaica, the southern province of Fezzan, and Tripolitania in the west.
A shaky central government's failure to wrest control from rival militias and provide security in most parts of Libya, and even over parts of Tripoli, only feeds federalist ambitions.
The east's Benghazi was the cradle of the uprising against Gaddafi with long-held grudges its people were mistreated and have since not seen their share of post-revolution spoils.
Libya is still without a new constitution. It must be drafted by a committee chosen from the three regions, who will have to account for rival federalist claims, tribal demands and ethnic pressures.
Iraq, in contrast, already has a federal system that calls for autonomous Kurdistan to ship its oil through the central government's pipelines and in return receive a percentage of the federal budget, although unresolved tensions remain.
"Kurds are a majority in Kurdistan. As for Libya, whether in the south or the east, those demanding autonomy are small groups," said Hadi Belazi, director of Petro Libya, a Tripoli oil services company. "In Libya, in some cases 10 or 15 people can close a pipeline and it's not ... even a whole tribe."
The federalists do not have widespread support for full autonomy, and often appear to use federalism more for leverage against Tripoli, according to analysts, local officials and diplomats.
Southern Fezzan's tribes declared autonomy two weeks ago but rivalries between groups who backed Gaddafi and those who opposed him would scuttle that proposal, say locals, even if discontent with Tripoli was strong.
"Fezzan is a source of gas, water, farming and wealth that goes to the north and the capital. Not one nail has been hammered in here," said Khalil Mohammed, a nurse in a local hospital in Sabha town in Fezzan.
In the more populated west, demands of the powerful Zintan tribe, who had shut the major El Feel and Sharara oilfields, were addressed by pay increases, managing local concerns and by promising more cash for community projects.
"Federalism in the east is a more serious issue and is more plausible. But the amount of support is very limited and if the government can sort out security and spending money, I think federalism will fall away quickly," said one diplomat.
Yet, Libya's eastern area is far from under control. Benghazi, where militants attacked a U.S. consulate in 2012, remains chaotic. Turf warfare among rival militias is aggravated by a strong presence of Islamist hardliners in the city.
In the remote desert oil-producing areas, several thousand armed militiamen led by the federalist leader Jathran hold facilities that account for almost sixty percent of the country's oil wealth.
It is unclear how much support Jathran can draw upon for a real push for autonomy in the east, or whether he would end protests if Tripoli offered more concessions.
The central government has warned it could turn to force, but appears reluctant to confront the armed federalists. For the moment, his eastern oil protesters are keeping their hard line.
But starting exporting oil independently to market though the Mediterranean without any agreement with Tripoli will be tough for Jathran's men. The government has threatened to attack any tankers illegally exporting oil.
"One thing is certain, Jathran and his people will not be able to sell oil, nobody is interested," said John Hamilton at CBI, a business consultancy focused on Africa and energy. "That ship would be marked, this would be oil stolen from Libya."

Also, I would like to state, the owner of this company agreed to refund our money and take back his appliances until he found out we filed a Better Business Bureau Complaint. Once he found out about the complaint he decided to not respond back to us or refund our money as agreed. (I have this documentation in writing) This company now has a D+ rating with the BBB because the BBB did not find that the business made good faith effort to resolve the complaint. So how can you say your company bent over backwards to have this issue resolved? What a joke!
I think this goes to show what type of busniess this is and I would be VERY cautious from purchasing anything from them unless your willing to get RIPPED OFF!!!!!!!

America, Land of the Long-Term Financing for Foreigners
Published: July 5, 1992
(Page 2 of 2)
By giving foreign companies more flexibility, the burgeoning world of interest-rate and currency swaps has also encouraged foreign companies to exploit the advantages that borrowing in dollars in the United States might have over another market at a given time. A company can issue fixed-rate dollar-denominated bonds, then through swaps, choose alternative payment patterns -- ending up, for example, paying floating interest rates in Japanese yen, and the principal in British pounds.
Companies have also discovered it can pay to look abroad for capital because different types of securities may be more highly valued in one country than another. This helps explain why two British biotech companies, British Bio-technology Group and Cantab Pharmaceuticals, are interested in the United States.
In the United States, plenty of investors are willing to buy shares of biotechnology companies that not only have never made any money but have yet to bring a product to market. Although the London Stock Exchange is considering making an exception for biotechnology companies, companies generally cannot obtain an exchange listing until they have a five-year profit record.
Barring a sudden collapse, the overall value of deals in the international equities market seems set to pass the $19.4 billion worth of shares sold in public offerings in 1991. So far this year, companies have sold $14 billion worth outside their home markets, according to Securities Data. That is already more than the $12 billion sold in all of 1990.
Getting into the global market themselves, American companies have sold $5.7 billion worth of common and preferred shares in public offerings outside the United States this year, meaning the 1992 total is certain to exceed the $6 billion in 1991.
However, although investment bankers are confident of strong long-term growth, there are some signs that the international market may be losing a bit of steam. They include the recent withdrawal of an $800 million to $1.06 billion initial public offering by GPA Group P.L.C., an Ireland-based aircraft lessor, after institutional investors in Europe, the United States and Japan expressed little interest. American companies that have postponed deals include Payless Cashways, Gulfstream Aerospace, Franklin Mint and Trident NGL.
GPA's withdrawal may have been an anomaly. Some apparent reasons were concerns about its high debt level, the fragile health of its airline customers throughout the world and the lack of a big home market to serve as a base for the offering.
Investment bankers blame the general pullback on the recent weakening of American and European stock markets and the continuing slide in the Tokyo market, reflecting investor nervousness about those economies. A slide in the Mexican stock market has also deflated what had been one of the hottest international sectors: Mexican stocks.
The bankers, pointing to some post-GPA successes as proof, are confident that planned sales of relatively high-quality shares will go ahead. Delta Air Lines raised $1.15 billion through an international sale of 23 million convertible preferred shares, 10 percent of which was sold abroad. And the French Government's offer of 22.9 million shares in Total, for about $1 billion, was oversubscribed.
Wellcome Trust, a charitable trust that owns 73.5 percent of Wellcome P.L.C., the British drug company, seems confident about international demand for shares it plans to sell in late July. It says its investment bankers believe they can smarket 330 million to 380 million shares, worth $5.42 billion to $6.24 billion at current market prices. Some 80 million shares are earmarked for the United States.
Even if some sellers have to accept lower prices, many investment bankers are confident the international equity market will pick up steam within a few months. "It's a comma and not a full stop," Charles G. T. Stonehill, a managing director of Morgan Stanley & Company, said of the current slowdown.
Indeed, bankers say plenty of the forces that have been behind the rise in international securities deals in general and foreign sales in the United States in particular are still there.
Sellers often have no choice now but to try more than one market. The size of many issues dwarfs their home market's capacity.
A large number of foreign offerings also have involved governments selling all or part of their shares in state-owned companies. The pioneer in such privatizations in the 1980's, Britain, was also the pioneer in international stock offerings. Many proved to be very lucrative for buyers.
But the market really began to soar in the last few years when Latin Americans, led by Mexico, began to do the same. The deal widely seen as having kicked off a flood of international sales was the $2.17 billion sale of shares in the Mexican phone company, Telefonos de Mexico, last year. Goldman Sachs oversaw it.
Investment bankers point out that the privatization boom shows no signs of abating in Europe, Asia or Latin America.
It is also expected that American companies will continue to spin off foreign units in international offers to exploit the higher value investors sometimes place on their individual parts than on their whole. One example was the April sale of Waste Management Inc.'s European unit, orchestrated by Merrill Lynch.
In addition, many American and some British companies that loaded up with debt in the 1980's or early 1990's are now trying to reduce it, or replace it with cheaper debt. These include companies that went private via leveraged buyouts and have recently gone public with international equity offerings, like America's Duracell, Burlington and RJR Nabisco. A planned public offering by Revlon is expected to be international, too.
There is also no sign that banks around the world will open up the lending spigots anytime soon. Indeed, many banks are trying to raise capital themselves to shore up their own balance sheets.
And Japanese companies must soon begin to refinance billions of dollars worth of bonds that were sold with equity warrants attached. Because of the plunging Japanese market, many warrants have been worthless when they expired. That has left these companies in need of equity to strengthen their balance sheets. It also has deflated the market for such bonds, generating speculation that Japanese companies could turn to international equity and bond issues.
"As the Japanese market moves down to a level of valuation comparable to other markets, Japanese stocks will become increasingly attractive to international investors," Mr. Stonehill said.
The importance of the United States to foreigners seeking capital helps to explain why American investment banks dominate the international stock and bond business. These firms -- including Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley, Salomon Brothers and Lehman Brothers -- have vastly expanded their foreign presence in the last five years or so.
Paying homage to this dominance, British firms like Warburg, Robert Fleming and Barclays de Zoete Wedd, have been recruiting talent from them. "Our aim is to join the club," said Ian Hannam, a Fleming director who had been at Salomon.

The owner Frank Folio told me to call when the roof was on the house and he would start the ductwork. He came and started the work and was hit and miss for the next 2 months, on a job he said would only take 3 -4 days. The main trunk lines should have been installed in the 24" floor trusses but because of his delay, the main trunk lines had to be installed on ceiling. This was an additional expense for me because a bulkhead had to be built.
The unit didn't work properly becaust Frank programed the thermostat wrong(mistakes hapen),it took a couple of weeks to get him out to fix it.
I called Frank to come and hook up the HWG portion of the unit (It took weeks to get a hold of him), he said he would be out on Monday. Monday came but Frank didn't. I called him repeatedly over the next 3 weeks and left messages with no reply. I called one morning and left a message using a curse word calling him a name, He returned that call saying "he was done with me and my job" and not to call him agian. Its funny he can't return a call when you talk civil to the man but he sure can when you call him a &$#!#$%.

I asked if the franchise owner would give me a call. I received a call from Brian Keturakis the franchise owner. He was emiditally on the definssive. I told him the situition and toold him I dont feel as if I should have been charged for them breaking off the lug bolts. He completely gave me the run around giving me complete BS examples of what happened and how he felt they were in the right. !st of all, all the examples he gave were nowhere colse to what my situition had to do with. Pretty much it was his way or the highway and he could care less what I had to say. I then told him I would just contact the BBB. Dear lord someone needs anger managment classes I found out after presenting that to him. Long story short I was the one who had to end the conversation by hanging up after the verbal assult I recieved from Mr Keturakis. He wanted to keep fighting and fighting which was getting nowhere. After doing further research on the internet about his car-x locations and his midas locations I found multiple complaints about himself and his business ethics. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT shop with car-x or Midas! You've been warned!

I am anxious to "fix" my loan with a modification or rate freeze so that I may continue to pay my mortgage payments in full and on time.
I just wanted to suggest to anyone going through foreclosure with Option One to request a loan modification so that you may continue to stay in your home. There is help out there and a lot of non-profit organizations that can help you stay in your home. One website I found to be helpful is LoanSafe.org and that website is specifically geared towards homeowners in crisis.
Just my two cents but from what I have read about Option One a class action should be filed against them for predatory lending and predatory servicing.

|Maggiori informazioni:
The existence of missing observations is a very important aspect to be considered in the application of survey sampling, for example. In human populations they may be caused by a refusal of some interviewees to give the true value for the variable of interest. Traditionally, simple random sampling is used to select samples. Most statistical models are supported by the use of samples selected by means of this design. In recent decades, an alternative design has started being used, which, in many cases, shows an improvement in terms of accuracy compared with traditional sampling. It is called Ranked Set Sampling (RSS). A random selection is made with the replacement of samples, which are ordered (ranked). The literature on the subject is increasing due to the potentialities of RSS for deriving more effective alternatives to well-established statistical models. In this work, the use of RSS sub-sampling for obtaining information among the non respondents and different imputation procedures are considered. RSS models are developed as counterparts of well-known simple random sampling (SRS) models. SRS and RSS models for estimating the population using missing data are presented and compared both theoretically and using numerical experiments.

Telangana Bill Gives Key Role to Centre in Water Management
By PTI - HYDERABAD
Published: 18th December 2013 10:53 AM
Last Updated: 18th December 2013 10:53 AM
The Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Bill, 2013, currently under the consideration of the state legislature, envisages a vital role for the Centre in the management of water resources between the successor states of Telangana and (new) Andhra Pradesh.
Sharing and management of water resources between the two states, post-bifurcation, is likely to be a tricky issue given the complex nature of irrigation projects and water allocation in undivided Andhra Pradesh.
The President has given time till January 23 to the AP legislature to return the draft bill after due deliberations.
The draft bill says the Centre would constitute an Apex Council for the supervision of the functioning of two management boards of Godavari and Krishna rivers.
The council shall comprise the Union Water Resources Minister as its Chairperson and the Chief Ministers of the two states as members.
The functions of the council shall include planning and approval of proposals for construction of new projects, if any, based on Godavari or Krishna river water and also resolution of any dispute amicably arising out of the sharing of river waters.
The functions shall also include reference of any disputes not covered under Krishna Water Disputes Tribunal, to a Tribunal to be constituted under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956.
The Centre shall constitute two separate boards to be called the Godavari River Management Board and Krishna River Management Board for the "administration, regulation, maintenance and operation of such projects, as may be notified by the Central Government from time to time."
As stated in the bill, the headquarters of the Godavari River Management Board shall be located in Telangana state and Krishna River Management Board shall be located in Andhra Pradesh.
The two boards shall be "autonomous bodies under the administrative control of the Central Government, and shall comply with such directions as may, from time to time, be given to them by the Central Government." .

I've got an issue using the image widget in the sidebar. With my child theme based on twenty eleven I've noticed that any caption below an image in the sidebar has a very large space to the right of the text. (I'm working locally so don't have a link but every instance I see has essentially the same margin and padding for image captions using this widget, such as this picture. I've found the css for modifying both the title and caption text in the css but for the life of me cannot find the call up to change the text alignment, padding or margins for the caption in the sidebar widget image.
Any ideas on where to look / what to try?
Thanks in advance!

A late split in the pack on the hilly stage to Fisterre allowed Giro d'Italia winner Vincenzo Nibali to move ahead of American Chris Horner and claim the lead.
"I'm surprised, I had no idea there was a gap and didn't know I was leader, I was on the team bus," said Nibali, who was rushed back to the finish area in a team van so he could accept the leader's jersey.
"I wasn't looking for the leader's jersey, all I wanted to do was stay in the front group and keep things under control," he added.
"I knew that Chris and his team wanted to keep the lead, you could see that from the way they worked hard on the front on a difficult stage all day."
Nibali now leads by three seconds from Horner with Ireland's Nicolas Roche eight seconds further back.
"I got boxed in, the split was right at the finish and there was no way to move out in any direction," Horner, who finished 26th, six seconds back, told Reuters.
The American, who at nearly 42 became the oldest Grand Tour leader when he captured the top spot on Monday, said he would attack in the mountains to try to get the leader's jersey back later in the race.
As the pack fragmented on the ascent to Fisterre lighthouse on Galicia's Atlantic coastline, Moreno put aside his usual duties as lieutenant for overall contender and Katusha team mate Joaquim Rodriguez by sprinting to victory.
A late attack by Swiss Fabian Cancellara brought the former Olympic and world time trial Champion to within a few metres of Moreno, who dug deep to claim the second Vuelta victory of his career. Australian Michael Matthews was third.
Moreno, winner of the Fleche Wallone Classic in the spring, said he had told his room mate Joaquim Rodriguez that he wanted to win the stage.
"He said to go for it," Moreno told reporters.
After moving up to eighth place overall, eight places ahead of Rodriguez thanks to Tuesday's win, Moreno said there would not be a switch in the leadership in his favour after his strong race start.
"I will be back to work for Joaquim again tomorrow although stage nine's summit finish is another personal target," he said.

Our lab investigates how the brain controls movements of the body, and translates our findings to advance brain-machine interface technology for restoration and repair of lost or damaged neurological function. A longstanding line of investigation explores control of fine finger movements, like those used in typing, playing a musical instrument, or performing delicate surgery. More recent work explores the combination of reaching, grasping, and manipulating. In both realms, we study how the brain controls a rather complex set of muscles to achieve the required movement.

Mafioso: Lessons From The Lufthansa Heist
Don't flaunt your doughWe all know the show-offs, the flaunters, the ones that want you to know exactly how much they have, or mislead you into thinking they have more than they do. But these are the men that don't know how to handle their money. The second they get their hands on the green they need it out of their pockets. Louis Cafora, the gangster in charge of laundering the Lufthansa dough, was just that kind of guy. He wanted everyone to know he made a score, and he bought a big pink Cadillac right after the job. Pink enough for the feds to get suspicious. However, Jimmy Burke got to Louis and his wife before the feds. As for the Caddy, I guess someone's driving a certified pre-owned accomplice to murder. Cardinal rule when it comes to your money: Whether you have nothing or you have everything, only turn the cards face up when you have to.
Take a pact for what it's worthI know everyone says their word is as strong as oak. I know you think some of your paisans are real stand-up guys. But when money is on the table, everyone is a freaking cripple. Whether it be a handshake, verbal agreement, or pinkie swear, be skeptical about every pact you ever make — the code of honor isn't always honored. Jimmy Burke promised everyone their fair share, but when he realized that meant surrendering some of his hard-earned cash, he killed them off like sheep. There were those who didn't need Jimmy to get killed, but it doesn't matter much, their cut wasn't coming. In the end, if you can, get it all in writing. A heist isn't the type of thing you can get notarized, but for everything else, have them draft something off.
the scoreAs the public consumes fictional films like Oceans 11 through 17, it's easy to overlook the real-life heists involving much tougher casts than Brad, Damon and Clooney. And although most of the Lufthansa players are long gone, and the money has been squandered away on women, suits and Cadillacs, we can still find reasons to revisit some of La Cosa Nostra's most monumental heists. I know we're not all out there ripping off cargo jets for untraceable bills, and I know there is often a feeling of disconnect from something so outside your everyday life. But then again, maybe there shouldn't be.
Mr. Mafioso answers your e-mail
Editor's note: This reader's e-mail has not been edited and is presented as is.
Dear Mr. Mafioso,
I have always heard about the big rackets the mafias organize, but I have always wondered, where did they all start out? I mean, they must have taken baby steps in the beginning.
Thanks, Paris
If you're looking to get your foot in the door, take a couple steps back and rethink. Not as romantic a lifestyle as you imagine. But if you're just curious, then remember this: Most of us guys are old school. We come from neighborhoods where we rely on our paisans for protection. This is the life we know. Some of us, like myself, got out — which is a trend becoming more and more common. Others, however, just can't leave the old-school ways.
Stata Buon,
Mr. Mafioso

Dear Editor:
I seek to counter some of the views and remarks by Mr. Charles C. Nash in his "ELECTION DAY 2008" article in the Nov. 15, issue of the Paper. "My eyes filled with tears" is an amazing response by Mr. Nash to the election of one who may be a Bolshevik or leans greatly in that direction. After all, Obama's coterie of friends are of that ilk: the anarchist Ayers, the European American haters Wright & Pfleger, and the Communist Frank Marshall Davis his boyhood mentor. The 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified Davis as a CPUSA member.
Speaking of Communists, Joseph McCarthy and Richard Nixon, both of whom Nash degraded in his article, were anti-Communists as members of Congress.
Is this the reason Mr. Nash does not speak well of them? Would Mr. Nash be more comfortable living in Communist Cuba? Then, there is the Obama-Acorn connection. Need I say more about the President Elect's friends. So, what are the tears all about?
Is not the past prologue and a person known by their friends? By their fruits ye shall know them as the Book states.
All this personal history may not be known by Mr. Nash since his source of TV news is obviously NBC, a Bolshevik leaning media propaganda merchant, along with many other media "fellow travelers" who gave "Hussein" a pass because they lean more Bolshevik than American. Speaking of "Hussein," the Muslim middle name of the President Elect, who professes to be Christian, I ask, "what Christian, in light of current events with the Muslim world, given a Muslim birth name, "Hussein," would not rush to the Court House to drop that name"?
Everyone I know would, but not the President Elect. Why? Names are important and tell. Do you know anyone who has named a daughter Delilah or Jezebel? So what gives with tears for "Hussein"?
Mr. Nash clearly does not like Sarah Palin, fine. But, liberals, including Mr. Nash, seem to feel that they can demean, regardless of any accurate description, without restraint, those they oppose. I challenge that. The successful governor of Alaska in doing what few others have done in cleaning up corruption, winning the admiration of millions who also stand with her on not killing her newborn and standing firm on the Second Amendment. She is my kind of gal.
Contrarily, Mr. Nash attacks her Founding Father qualities, at least by implication, calling her, in an attempt to demean her as I presume is his goal, "barely literate and ignorant," but we rural Missourians see her as good, courageous, and noble; qualities found in few in public life and not lacking in her.
Alaskan voters surely do not agree with her being about 70 IQ material implied by Nash. How did one "barely literate and ignorant" reign in big oil and corrupt government officials? Her fruits tell a story of wisdom and intelligence.
Finally, Mr. Nash stated the Founding Fathers gave America a democracy when he said, "I could only imagine any of the Founding Fathers observing Sarah -- and having second (or third) thoughts about the whole idea of establishing a democracy in America. A Founding Father, Benjamin Franklin, tells us that the Constitution gave America a Republic, not a democracy, when he said, "A Republic, if you can keep it" in responding to a woman's inquiry as to the type of government the Founders had created. When Americans say the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag, we say "to the Republic for which it stands. James Madison, in Federalist Paper No. 10, states in referring to our government, "the honorable title of republic." The Constitution, Article IV Section 4, "guarantees to every state in this union a Republican form of government. "Madison warned, "Democracies have ever been spectacles of turbulence and contention; have ever been found incompatible with personal security or the rights of property; and have in general been as short in their lives as they have been violent in their deaths" (Federalist No. 10). Who is "barely literate and ignorant?" Palin or __ ?
Madam, editor, my retort is simply to have "iron sharpen iron." I do not know Mr. Nash and have no ill toward him, just his views. As an apparently educated man, I believe he is grossly mislead in his studies and mentors, as so many today are, whereby false presuppositions are formed leading to false thinking revealed by his article with conclusions not shared by rural Missourians, bedrock people of historic America, with whom he is out of touch.
Most respectfully,
Gray Clark

Su Hill has already caused some diners to put the brakes on as they have tried the selections at one of Sikeston's newest restaurants, Joseph's Fine Steaks, 1617 E. Malone Ave.
Hill began by creating an atmosphere where customers can relax and enjoy themselves.
The J-Bar with walls in a deep, rich red color, leather chairs and the copper bar is flanked with small dining tables offering a cozy atmosphere for customers. The restaurant also includes a main dining room which can easily be sectioned off to fit large and small groups; just off the front door is a separate banquet room.
Joseph's uses artwork, glass partitions and spacing to create both large seating areas for groups or more intimate tables for diners. The design mixes modern with a classical look for a unique atmosphere.
Hill's background well-prepared her for the restaurant venture in Sikeston. She learned about food and restaurant management through years in the hotel business. Her introduction to Sikeston was through the Sikeston Country Club, where she served as manager in the late 1990s.
In 1998 she began her own restaurant offering Thai cuisine in Cape Girardeau, which was followed by Saffron's, a pan-Asian restaurant. When she learned of the building becoming available in Sikeston along Malone Avenue, she decided to try another venture.
"I always liked this area," she said. "I saw this as an opportunity to bring in something different, a different way of cooking. People do travel and they have a craving for tastes of real spices and all those things we use."
While wanting to be different, Hill emphasized the menu is designed around local tastes. The selections include pasta, pork, seafood and beef, particularly steaks
"We are proud of our steaks. We bring in the best quality beef we can find. Also we use seasonal vegetables from local growers," Hill said.
To keep the menu interesting to her customers and herself, Hill changes it every other month while keeping the focus on steaks and seasonal specialties. Also nightly specials are available.
The current menu offers appetizers such as escargot or a spinach and artichoke dip while the salads range from the classic Caesar to the J-salad which is a blend of shredded cabbage, carrots and tomato tossed with the sweet citrus vinaigrette and topped with ground peanuts.
The steaks can be a chateaubriand for two, a New York strip or ribeye or even a filet mignon while the other meats on the menu range from chicken to lamb to salmon.
This all can be topped off with desserts such as bread pudding.
She intends for her guests to plan for enjoyable evening. "Good food takes a little bit longer but we hope to offer it in a timely manner," said Hill. "That is why we concentrate on the dinner period when people can come in, enjoy their meal and don't have to rush."
Also an extensive list of wines, domestic and imported, matched with a long list of martinis, gives diners even more reason to linger.
Admitting she has taken on a big project, Hill said she has been asked if worried about her newest venture. "You have to love the business. Everything at times is scary but you have to start from yourself," she said. "To start up is easy but to keep it going is what I'm determined to do."
And she is doing it at her own pace. Hill acquired the building at the beginning of the year and opened in July. Currently, Joseph's opens for dinner at 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Business is "taking small steps," Hill noted with the latter part of the week and weekends more popular with the dinner crowd.
"We want to concentrate on doing things right for our customers the first time. We want people to have a good dining experience," she said.
In addition to the evening dining hours, Joseph's also offers catering and the facilities for luncheons and dinners. Hill said she has already talked with corporate groups about renting out the facilities - including the entire building for special events. Typically, however, the space is set up to easily provide for larger meetings or even small groups.
The lounge/bar/restaurant area seats 80 while the banquet room can provide for up to 140 and the dining area easily seats 125.
Hill noted that when catering events she works closely with clients to enable them to chose their menu. Also she wants to offer reserved-group luncheons and even is willing to do cooking demonstrations for small groups of eight or more who are interested in learning more about cuisine.
In addition to fine dining, Joseph's has live music. On Nov. 18 there will be a jazz group performing with special music planned in December. A New Year's Eve music and dining event is on the calendar, too.
Thus far, Hill said the comments from customers are favorable, many calling the restaurant a special place where they can show off the community to friends and clients.
"We are probably not an everyday restaurant," she said. "We are a unique restaurant. I hope the community will spend some time with us."
