Dreaming of driving cross-country this summer? Or perhaps your parents just broke the news that this year's vacation involves the family minivan, your whiny younger sibling, and one very carsick family pooch. No matter what the circumstances, a road trip's likely to feature into your summer plans.
Whether you're driving to the beach for the day or putting serious miles on your dad's hand-me-down pickup, when you're in the driver's seat, you'll want to be prepared.
Stay focused on your driving. Try not to let passengers or your cell phone distract you. Although you'll want to keep your cell phone handy for emergencies, avoid talking or texting while you drive. Not only does it interfere with your concentration, it may get you a ticket in some states. Most importantly, pull over and take a break if you feel sleepy. Driving while drowsy is a major cause of car crashes. In fact, it can affect a driver's judgment as much as alcohol or drugs can.
Watch your speed. It's easy to cruise along with the music cranking and suddenly find you're over the limit. Not only does speeding play a huge role in teen driver crashes, it's also a great way to invite a ticket, which could put your license at risk. Plus, speeding penalties in some states can run several hundred dollars.
Know the limits of your license. If you have an intermediate license, you may be restricted to driving at certain times (some states don't let intermediate license holders drive during nighttime hours, for example). You may also be limited in the number of passengers you can take with you. And if you're driving through other states, be sure you know their laws before you hit the road.
Plan your trip ahead of time so you can concentrate on the road, not the map. If you're driving with friends, ask one of them to navigate. And be prepared to handle emergencies. Your basic roadside safety supplies should include a flashlight, a first aid kit, jumper cables, and a spare tire and flat repair kit that are in working order. And don't forget to check that you have your insurance information and vehicle registration card with you before hitting the road. (You can get a ticket for driving without that information.)
Family vacations can be challenging enough without long, tedious drives. If you'll be spending most of your time in the passenger seat, be sure to bring plenty of boredom-beating entertainment on the road.
If you have your license, ask your folks about sharing the driving. It gives them a break — and gives you a reason to escape the back seat when Fido's looking a little green. If you have your learner's permit and your parents are willing to let you drive, family road trips are a great way to rack up the hours needed for your license. (If you'll be crossing state lines, though, be sure to check whether other states allow you to drive with your permit.)
The prospect of cramming your family into a small space, adding wheels, and multiplying the experience by hours may seem downright horrifying. But you never know — the open road could lead to open minds. Perhaps you'll find you communicate better with parents and siblings away from the daily grind. At the very least, you can sit back, observe, and learn a lot about how your family interacts.
Safe driving!

2012 Movie Trailer : by Sony
I just watched the 2012 trailer for the new movie coming out. 2012 Movie Trailer on Youtube
How many ways can you say fear….how many ways can Hollywood instill fear into the people? Here is the official website for the show: SONY
My view of 2012 is not like this movie. It is inevitable that the earth at some point will have changes that take place and sinece is even beginning to say that these things are possible and will more than likely happen at some point in out future. However, one must understand the human experience and the human existence in order to recognize that WE have the ability to change the outcome of these types of events with our thoughts.
I will be watching this film when it comes out so that I can then explain how this is not the future of humanity.
My focus on the Great Gathering and humanity coming together in their hearts….no matter what the future holds WE are the creators of our world. THAT is what we need to focus on.
Messages from the Tall blond aliens were clear on this point. WE are capable of so much more than we realize and through unity we can overcome anything, change anything and be anything we choose to become. This is the message from people around the world who have had direct contact with these alien beings and we are here to assist in the message that no matter where you are, no matter what happens, no matter what you do…..you will be OK……no matter what happens if you are in your heart.
Love Miriam

"From the section I read of your untitled novel, it seems too fragmented and dreamlike to be a good commercial bet."
"Thanks for having sent me your untitled novel. You write clearly and well, but I felt that the novel jumped around so much that it did not hold interest, and I would not be the right agent for it."
When Ross went public with what he had done, he expected the publishers and agents to be a little embarrassed that they had turned down a National Book Award-winning novel.
But, he told me when I interviewed him at the time, "I guess not. I went to the American Booksellers Association convention to talk to the publishers about what I did. They all thought that it was very amusing or silly. They agreed that it probably could happen again tomorrow. But the attitude was, 'So what?'"
As lovely as the J.K. Rowling/Robert Galbraith saga is, what would have made it even better, and turned it into more of a cliffhanger, is if Rowling had gone the Chuck Ross route:
If she had, without revealing her identity, sent "The Cuckoo's Calling" to publishers cold -- if she had submitted it and let them think that it really was by a novice named Robert Galbraith.
Would any of them have snapped it up?
It may be a terrific book -- but so was "Steps." And without Kosinski's name on the manuscript, "Steps" couldn't find a publisher. Or an agent.
Even though it had already won the National Book Award.
What a business. It's enough to drive even Harry Potter to drink.

From Slashdot
"While many hoaxes have circulated in the past about cell phone numbers being opened up to telemarketers, it now may actually happen. A bill, HR 3035 (PDF), has been introduced in Congress, that would create numerous exceptions to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, which banned autodialed and prerecorded robot calls to cell phone numbers. If passed, HR 3035 would permit a wide range of autodialed and prerecorded calls to cell phones that are currently prohibited, and would preempt practically all state laws providing similar protections. This is being applauded by debt collectors and banks (PDF) … as if the bailouts weren't enough, now they get to make you pay for their calls to you."
Robot calls are harassment and nuisance. Many robot calls are scam, fraud.
Again, a Republican threatens to make our lives more miserable. $$$$$$$$$ is never enough for this greedy sytem. Many people are sooooo pissed off by all these bad news and lobbying. Greed of the corporations (minority) create unnecessary suffering for our people (majority). People already struggle, then companies decided to devote their "careers" to make our lives more miserable.
We don't have billions of dollars to influence Congress with "donations". We only have the truth, justice, common sense and our people on our side.

For the first time a senior US counterterrorism.
Official calls the deadly attack on the US consulate in Libya an act of terrorism.
Matthew Olsen director of the National Counterterrorism Center.
Made the comments after several administration officials described the assault as a spontaneous.
All of this comes as intelligence sources tell Fox News they believe.
The attack was the work of al-Qaeda led by a former Guantanamo detainees.
Let's bring in congressman Peter King he is chairman of the house homeland security committee.
The administration stocks so long with the notion that this attack that killed our ambassador in three other people.
Came on 9/11 and you know and and -- apparently did not involve.
A whole lot of you know.
Street outrage it was pretty much -- directed attack on our embassy.
They called it just a spontaneous.
-- if he was in fact a terror attack why -- it for so long.
On this was absolutely -- responsible by the administration to have UN ambassador going on national television 45 national shows.
Insisting that this was not a terrorist attack when at the very least they had to know at that time that there were terrorist elements involved.
And to do that makes it personal sense -- sign of weakness to our enemies is sending it sends a confusing signal to our allies the only rationale forward and it's inexcusable.
Is that the Obama administration wants us to think the war against terrorism is over.
That the president's policies have worked we have nothing to worry about al-Qaeda that is dangerous if you're responsible and it was wrong and I commend Matt Olson saying what he did yesterday.
At the senate Homeland Security here.
Well and and now there is word that this -- on -- cool move the possible leader of this attack is a guy that we had in American custody.
At Guantanamo Bay and released him.
We did and we also knew the last several years a -- -- testimony before my committee.
About a year and a half ago.
About his activities in -- in Libya.
How active he was and we knew that al-Qaeda.
Is in that area we know there are Qaeda affiliates that says and South Korea are in that area.
We knew there -- a number of al-Qaeda militias in that area and for the administration to ignore all out.
And to say this is all because of -- a showing of a pornographic video about Mohammed.
It was really disgraceful amount if they believe what they're saying at the time and that's even worse I mean it's -- confident I think they were attempting to use this for political purposes.
To show that the administration is on top of the war on terrorism and really in effect a -- been defeated in either event they acted wrong and responsibly.
And they can do damage to a policy by encouraging our enemies and confusing our allies.
Just breaking from the Reuters news wires -- as we've been speaking congressman.
Is the word from the White House the White House now says it is self evident.
That the Ben Ghazi violence was a terror attack.
Our Bill Hemmer was speaking -- bedlam bowl the press spokesman for the president's campaign not the White House but for the campaign.
Asked him earlier whether the president would be addressing this this.
I guess controversy these confusing statements.
-- -- what metal bolts of the bill Bill Hemmer.
Well again the director of the National Counterterrorism Center yesterday -- career national security.
Official shared with the American people.
The information that we have about us I understand that but I know this time when I don't engage in and speculation like everybody -- watching this tends to everybody watching this.
Knows that President Obama is the commander in chief.
It's his job will he address the American people and clear up these stories.
Well listen the administration testified before congress yesterday and share the information that we have.
At this time it.
So if our embassy is attacked.
On 9/11 and you know.
Is there is there I guess is the is the administration.
Have -- been avoiding to this point calling it terror attack because they don't want.
The blame.
For having and -- this kind of an attack fall on their watch.
Yeah I think that's -- all about so that was spreading false information to the American people and to the world during the presidential campaign.
Spreading false information to cover the president's record against terrorism and they knew was wrong they had -- was wrong to go out as early as they did and the I really is.
That President Obama was pontificating last week.
Accusing governor Romney of speaking before we knew all the facts so now what the president and his administration done with -- -- investors -- And Jay -- has done a spokesman for the administration is -- 45 days they -- -- false story to the American people.
And they can't deny it was -- which is no way they -- made a blanket statement that this was not a terrorist attack at the time they did when all we indicators war.
That it was a terrorist attack now they've had committed the terrorist attack.
Is it docked -- for the administration they have a list terribly.
And again if it -- them to help them politically is almost -- right.
What is significant is in such a dangerous part of the world the administration show that you -- what I was talking about.
Or was intentionally misleading the American people and the world.
And that is bad news that is the wrong thing to do.
We have a deadly and -- al-Qaeda.
A quick question about the blind sheik Omar Abdel -- -- you and a number of other Republicans wrote the administration saying you heard.
And that it was possible he was being considered for released -- Egyptian authorities this guy convicted in connection with the first one terror attack on the walk on the World Trade Center the White House says it's never been under consideration.
Are you satisfied with that -- No not I was -- management -- were told by senior people in federal law enforcement.
That this is being considered we don't know what is and how we were told -- by people we reason to believe that awards.
That's why we contacted the administration we've got have not been unequivocal answers.
State Department says there is no plan and there's been no recent contact with the Egyptian government we know the president Marcy has acted has asked for this in the past now.
I'm not saying it is a current plan I don't they say though there is no -- they -- say one thing.
The white people -- in American prison -- the only answer to that and they were.
Refused to give that the semantics are important congressman Peter king of the house homeland security committee.
Congressman thank you.

Welcome back to foxnews.com.
Live and fox lifestyles we have got you covered when it comes to entertainment.
And things going on -- want to keep your finger right on the polls.
And what that it's movies the weather let's let's face it has at least on the East Coast not been a lot of fun so a lot of people want to get to the movie theaters this weekend and that.
Maybe you want to get sent to the movie theaters as well wherever you are and there are some really good movies coming out let's bring in.
Matt actually editor in chief of rotten tomatoes.
Right tomatoes dot com -- I was just telling people before the break this is -- my very favorite segments of the whole week.
To hear that's -- it's true it's true because -- talk about the movies that are coming not and what people are saying.
About the movies so quite honestly we don't waste our time and we make sure that -- in on the buzz of the good rising doce.
So for -- welcome happy Friday thanks for being with us as always.
And we want and that's exactly why we're here yeah.
Trying to protect people from seeing bad.
And we you know I still and we -- -- I still have to get to see -- And flight.
You know I don't want these movies to go away before they get out of the theater wanna see them in the theater.
And definitely I gotta tell you here.
In the fox studios in the streets of New York people have been talking nonstop about Lincoln.
Everybody is talking about this movie it sounds like it's a must see what say you rotten tomato man.
-- -- -- -- -- you know you have the advantage in New York are being able to see Lincoln we should warned people watching.
We can really only opening in limited release in New York an -- and may be a couple other theatres transit only and a handful of theaters this week.
But if you're New York you could see it and it's absolutely worth seeing it's a fantastic movie Daniel Day-Lewis puts in an amazing performance.
I think that really at this point the Oscar race for best actor is gonna come down to -- and Denzel Washington.
You heard it here first I think those are going to be the two favorites you know it's it it's directed by Steven Spielberg and this is a -- -- -- In development for.
You know 1015 years at one point -- Neeson was gonna play.
Lincoln but he aged out of the role it's -- Daniel -- is -- Sally Field plays Mary Todd Lincoln this cast is really are astounding.
Tommy Lee Jones shows David strip there and you've even got great actors in small parts.
Like James Spader.
-- outside Tim Blake Nelson and I Joseph Gordon-Levitt -- Lincoln signed and he has maybe fifteen lines in the whole movie wow.
But you know you're Steven Spielberg you can try to get anyone you want to come -- and do these bit parts -- your movies.
And the movie really I think is really solid it sure it's it's focused mainly -- line.
The passage of the thirteenth amendment so it's really a lot of the ins and outs of what happened in the House of Representatives.
And how Lincoln hired a lobbying firm to get this past.
You know -- -- kind of the same kind of political you know the politics that have to happen.
To pass laws now that's exactly what was happening back -- I will say one of the things that's unusual about this movie is that this is a mainstream Hollywood movie.
That really plays -- Kind of a love for the Republican Party because as we know that's the party that really pushed abolition.
You wouldn't expect out of a Hollywood movie -- these days kind of considering.
The way things get done but I think in this case you've got a really good movie it's really entertaining the language gets a little stilted at times but for the most part the critics really like it.
It's 92% or 93% of the tomato meter.
Right in the low ninety's certified fresh and absolutely a must see.
And I wanted to ask say I wanna talk about sky fall quickly but I it's I feel like it's been cracked me if I'm wrong but I feel like it's been awhile since I've seen Sally Field -- a movie.
Has a been a while.
It has been a lot you know she was an amazing Spider-Man -- You know it and I hate to put it this way you know as actresses get older it can be hard for them to transition.
Out of you know -- playing younger roles and older role she seems to be making that transition.
Okay as sky fall certainly if you see if you've seen the commercial I mean you want to jump out your window and get to the movie theater.
As soon as possible -- let's talk about James Bond.
Yeah this is a fantastic -- 93% certified fresh absolutely -- must see.
I would recommend don't read too much stay off the Wikipedia page for sky fall that'll spoil the whole movie be careful about -- views you see.
Before you see the film but it's worth seeing it's got a lot of great action but it's directed by Sam -- who brought us.
Road to perdition and American Beauty.
And revolutionary road this is a very dramatic film and a way that we haven't seen -- was spotted eagle on much more -- an emotional journey.
I really like this but I have to -- -- came out of this with a feeling similar to what I felt when I came out about and begins in that.
I was really surprised that I got a much more serious movie -- the popcorn movie I was expecting and I think that's a good thing here.
OK very good I want to put you on the spot.
If I've got you know the twenty dollar bill in my hand and I'm going out to movie this weekend if I can see Lincoln and my choice is between Lincoln and sky fall.
-- -- -- I have due to stifle really I can only isn't it you are.
No I I have to tell you I have to say sky fall because it you know it.
It's much more exciting I think the only -- good but stifle you come out of -- that feeling that you get that was a good movie like who that was a really great.
Like -- just been on a roller coaster ride I'm exactly exactly fun.

Pack up whatever belongings might exist, crawl in the car with the Department of Human Services worker, wave goodbye to the latest guardian and quietly ride to the next house that will be considered home for however long that might last.
This is the life of so many children in Oklahoma custody that are bouncing around the foster care system. They are all ages and many have siblings that may or may not get to travel between the temporary homes together.
Several families in Tulsa and the surrounding areas choose to foster children, not knowing if these children will eventually go back to their biological parents or be adopted by another family or even eventually call foster mom just mom.
Local couple, Trace and Stephanie, decided to open their home to foster children 10 years ago after they had spent several years unsuccessfully trying to start a family. Their original plan of inviting one child into their home was soon changed despite their initial reservations.
"They called and said can you take these two boys and, of course, my first comment was, 'I told you one,'" Trace said. "The worker talked us into taking the boys because they had been in the system for several years and had bounced around nine or 10 different foster homes. Parental rights had already been terminated so they didn't have anyone to go back to."
Brothers 4-year-old Ben and 2-year-old Tom came into Trace and Stephanie's home and fit in from the start. Biological brothers, they had been through a lot together but seemed to adjust nicely to their new foster parents. The brothers had a sister, Jessica, who had been separated from the duo and was living in a foster home nearly two hours away.
While the children weren't adopted yet, Trace and Stephanie couldn't stand that the sibling group had to spend so much time apart. Visitations soon led to Jessica moving in with her brothers to complete the trio even though her therapeutic foster mom at the time had a great impact in her life and played a role in who Jessica is becoming to this day.
"I know people just want one and worry about sibling groups but what we've found over the years is that these kids, their bond is so strong and they really do support each other," Stephanie said. "Those boys were so close, they needed each other and you can't separate that."
On a date in June, set by the court, Trace and Stephanie gave Jessica, Ben and Tom a permanent home full of love and a commitment that they weren't leaving, no matter what. To reinforce the bond formed in the hearts of the new parents, the date happened to fall on their 10th wedding anniversary.
An incredible foster and adoption experience led Stephanie to become a stay-at-home mom and inspired the couple to foster more children while raising their own. Bearing the joy and the heartache of inviting children in and caring for them, then watching them be reunited with biological parents or other guardians lasted for about 5 more years.
Finally, an infant with some major medical problems entered their home. At 3 months old, Anna was underweight, failing to thrive and severely ill; requiring a feeding tube and constant supervision, Anna would have needs that the first three didn't.
"Her story is really cool," Stephanie said. "All of them are, but she was not supposed to walk or talk or do anything for that matter. She was essentially brain dead when we got her from the hospital."
Developing extraordinarily late, Anna took her first steps at 20 months and was able to experience life without a feeding tube by the age of 2. Trace and Stephanie remained foster parents and were unsure if they would be given the opportunity to adopt her.
After years of providing Anna with all the love and medical attention available, Stephanie and Trace officially adopted her just after she turned 3.
"(We) did not plan on having three, certainly not four," Stephanie said. "But we were kind of hooked, we loved the kids."
Foster care is a terrific gift to give children that are looking for some stability but adopting out of foster care gives that assurance of permanence and unconditional love and acceptance. Adopting a child in the state's care comes with benefits including counseling and financial assistance.
Trace and Stephanie made the decision to save Jessica, Ben and Tom from a traumatic emotional rollercoaster of unending foster homes and uncertainties. They sacrificed and put aside personal needs to nurse a gravely ill child back to a full functioning, walking, talking and occasionally spunky little girl.
"There are so many kids out there in the system and they need some place to go and 99 percent of these kids, if you put them in a good situation and give them a lot of support and love, they are normal kids," Trace said. "They'll behave like normal kids, they'll do the things that normal kids do that you don't like and they'll do the things that you love. There's nothing wrong with them and they just need someone to give them love and support and guide them through life. If someone is a person that can do that, they'll love it."
Jessica, Ben, Tom and Anna, now respectively 16, 15, 13 and 8, still deal with the scars of their past but have two parents that are willing to walk through the trials and tribulations of life with them. Children all over the state are looking for caring adults like Trace and Stephanie, just two individuals wanting a family and willing to sacrifice and love to accomplish it.

Systemwide Revenue Bond Program - Auxiliary Organization Debt Refinancing and Construction Financing |
Overview During fiscal year 2002/03, the California State University (CSU) Board of Trustees (Trustees) approved its first issuance of systemwide revenue bonds (SRB) that included auxiliary organization projects. In order to finance an auxiliary project with SRB's, it was necessary to create a financing lease business relationship between the Trustees and the auxiliary organization. An auxiliary organization's decision to enter into this type of arrangement results in an auxiliary project being financed with better interest rates, increased bond ratings, reduced bond issuance costs, no debt reserve requirement, and lower debt service coverage when compared to the financing an auxiliary organization would be able to obtain on its own credit. Although the SRB covenants in the bond resolution allow for a loan of bond proceeds to an auxiliary, the CSU Bond Act of 1947 does not permit the loan of bond proceeds. Thus, the financing lease relationship was established.* Management's Intent The Office of the Chancellor's intent is to utilize the campus as a "pass-through" entity in order to facilitate the debt refinancing (of existing auxiliary organization debt) for the auxiliary organization or debt financing of an auxiliary organization construction project. This is accomplished through the issuance of SRB debt by the campus and the campus entering into one or both of the following two agreements with the auxiliary organization:
To facilitate the debt refinancing and secure the SRB debt issued by the campus, the campus enters into a facilities purchase contract with the auxiliary organization whereby the underlying asset (auxiliary project) is sold to the campus. The campus then simultaneously enters into a ground and facilities lease agreement with the auxiliary organization in order to lease such asset back to the auxiliary organization. In effect, this creates a "sale-leaseback" arrangement between the campus and the auxiliary organization, thus creating the "pass-through" of the new debt obligation from the campus to the auxiliary organization. To facilitate the debt financing for an auxiliary organization construction project, the campus enters into a ground and facilities lease agreement with the auxiliary organization prior to the SRB issuance. This is necessary in order to obligate the auxiliary organization of its commitment to pay the debt. The campus uses the proceeds from the SRB issuance to construct the asset. When the constructed asset is completed, the asset is leased to the auxiliary organization. The term and payment schedule under the ground and facilities lease agreement mirrors the term and debt service schedule of the related SRB debt issued by the campus. Accounting Treatment It is our opinion that the above transactions between the Trustees (campus) and an auxiliary organization meets the capital lease criteria as described in FAS 13, Accounting for Leases. The campus and an auxiliary organization are considered related parties. In accordance with FAS 13, paragraph 29: "Except as noted below, leases between related parties (as defined in paragraph 5(a)) shall be classified in accordance with the criteria in paragraphs 7 and 8. Insofar as the separate financial statements of the related parties are concerned, the classification and accounting shall be the same as for similar leases between unrelated parties, except in cases where it is clear that the terms of the transaction have been significantly affected by the fact that the lessee and lessor are related. In such cases, the classification and/or accounting shall be modified as necessary to recognize economic substance rather than legal form. The nature and extent of leasing transactions with related parties shall be disclosed." In this case, the economic substance of the transaction is that the Trustee's SRB program is being used solely for the purpose of refinancing the auxiliary organization debt or financing an auxiliary organization construction project in order for the auxiliary organization to achieve the benefits discussed above. Debt Refinancing In summary, the auxiliary organization's old debt (refunded debt - auxiliary issued debt) is replaced by new debt in the form of a capital lease obligation payable to the campus. Additionally, the underlying asset (leased asset) is recorded on the auxiliary organization's financial records. The end result for the auxiliary organization is that it now reports a capital lease obligation instead of a long-term debt (bond) obligation. Additionally, any bond premium or discount resulting from the campus' issuance of SRB debt is "passed-through" the campus (i.e. not recorded by the campus) and recorded by the auxiliary organization as an "unamortized premium/discount on capital lease obligation", which is deferred and amortized over the term of the related capital lease. Any loss on refunding resulting from a refinancing transaction is also recorded by the auxiliary organization. For GASB entities, this loss must be deferred and amortized over the life of the new or old debt, whichever is shorter, and netted with the gross capital lease obligation payable balance for reporting purposes. For FASB entities, this loss must be expensed in the current year. On the campus' financial records, the campus records the gross outstanding balance of the SRB and the corresponding capital lease receivable due from the auxiliary organization. Note that any bond premium or discount related to the SRB debt is not recorded by the campus but is instead recorded by the auxiliary organization as discussed above. Debt Financing For An Auxiliary Organization Construction Project Note that in certain situations, the total construction costs of the asset may ultimately be more or less than the SRB issuance amount. In these situations, the campus and the related auxiliary organization would need to come to agreement on how to handle the resulting "excess" or "shortfall". Upon agreement, the campus and the auxiliary organization must consult with the Office of the Chancellor, the independent auditors of the auxiliary organization, and the independent auditors of the campus in order to determine the proper accounting treatment for the transaction. Other considerations include:
Please contact Sedong John at 562-951-4577 or email@example.com, or Lily Wang at 562-951-4628 or firstname.lastname@example.com, if you have any questions. Legend: GVA:LW:td AD 06-06 | ||

Resources → Editors → Publishing with Maney
What can Maney offer you?
Innovation and service
Maney delivers personalised service to authors, societies, readers and libraries for the publishing and international dissemination of high quality, peer-reviewed scholarship and research. Specialising in print and electronic journal publishing, Maney is committed to technical and editorial innovation combined with traditional values of quality and collaboration.
New proposals
Maney is always pleased to consider proposals for the launch of new journals or the publishing of existing journals should a society wish to change its current arrangements. We have a particular interest and expertise in the following subjects: Languages and Literature, History, Archaeology, Materials Science, Energy, Healthcare and Biomedical Science.
If you are in the UK, Europe or Rest of the World, please send your proposal to:
Mark Simon
Publishing Director
Maney Publishing
1 Carlton House Terrace
London SW1Y 5AF
Tel: 020 7451 7384
Email: email@example.com
If you are in North America, please send your proposal to:
Kimberly J. Martin
Executive Publisher
Maney Publishing (USA), Inc.
Tel: 1-717- 261-1419
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
For more information about the kind of information we need when considering a proposal, please read on.
Publishing with Maney
Download the Publishing with Maney Newsletter here.
To publish a journal with Maney is to form a partnership, with the aims of the journal, its parent society, editors, readers, and authors paramount in the relationship. No two publishing agreements are the same; each is individually developed. This fundamental approach of responding to the needs of our partners, instead of imposing an off-the-shelf formula, has won us many friends. It is a matter of pride on our part, and satisfaction to our clients. Many of our contracts have now been renewed not once but twice in their history.
Maney members of staff have gained their knowledge and experience in some of the largest publishing companies, and our versatile and growing team is supported by a widening international circle of consultants and freelance colleagues, technology partners, agents, and distributors. We are committed to training and development, and participate regularly in publishing, library, and academic meetings. This page will give a flavour of our business philosophy and strengths. Much more can be learned from the other pages in this website, the journals, and our staff.
Key clients
Maney has formed enduring partnerships with many societies. The English Goethe Society is the oldest client, having worked with us since 1947. The Modern Humanities Research Association (MHRA), now with seven journals and three book series, came to us in 1963. We have published the journals of the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining since 2002. Other clients include the Energy Institute, the Royal Photographic Society, Pharmaceutical Users Software Exchange, the Costume Society, the Society for Medieval Archaeology, and the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine.
Copyright and ownership
When we publish for a society, the ownership and copyright of its journal are retained by the society. The contractual agreement gives Maney a license to exercise the publishing rights for a fixed term, normally five years. Maney manages the copyright for the benefit of the society, and in turn handles sublicensing and requests for permission to re-use published material. We also own a number of journals that we have either launched ourselves or acquired from other companies.
Editorial development and control
Societies maintain intellectual control over their journals through the appointment of Editors and Editorial Boards who are responsible for the refereeing process and quality control. Maney does not interfere in such matters. At the same time, journals evolve as their subjects and communities grow, and we can advise on the positioning and development of journals when invited to do so. We support editorial diversity, whether by the publication of review articles, thematic issues, or commissioned editorials. Our interest is to develop the quality of the content for the benefit of society members, researchers and other library users.
Maney is introducing an open access option to some of its journals. For a fee, authors can decide that their articles will be open access on publication.
In 2010, Maney's response to the changing requirements and expectations of our customers (authors, researchers, academic libraries), and those funding bodies which support research and scholarly communication, is to introduce a service to publish open access papers in our journals. MORE OpenChoice is compliant with existing open access mandates and will in future accommodate new mandates that may be required by sponsor organisations. Maney journals currently qualifying for MORE OpenChoice will carry the MORE OpenChoice symbol on the journal homepage. Where funding bodies mandate it, final versions of MORE OpenChoice papers will be deposited in nominated repositories with links through to a PDF "print" version accessible from our hosting platforms, IngentaConnect/Highwire. For more information please click here.
No-one involved in editorial decision-making of papers (neither editors nor peer reviewers) will be notified of an author's request to publish an open access paper. Authors will only be offered the option once their paper has been accepted. This removes any potential charge of bias in assessing the merit of funded papers.
Financial security
Every journal contract that we have signed has improved the financial return to the copyright owner, often beyond all expectations. Onerous administrative and production tasks are removed from the society, while international marketing, online publishing, and enhanced production standards are provided. Fair contractual agreements that support editorial offices and a royalty to societies are put in place at the outset. An annual page budget is agreed, and all costs are borne by Maney.
Active international marketing
Regular promotion of a journal brings many benefits. It increases the number of readers, which in turn increases the journal's citation rate. It increases the number of submissions, thereby giving the Editor more choice in the selection of articles. As we raise a journal's international profile, librarians are more likely to renew their subscription, and new orders will be placed. The paid circulations of many of our journals are growing, in contrast to the publishing industry trend. We achieve this with carefully designed publicity material that highlights key aspects of each title: the editorial team, the best papers published, the impact factor, and the route to online access. This material is mailed to named specialists from prepared lists, distributed in parallel publications to society memberships, and included in delegate packs at conferences.
Maney exhibits at several major international conferences throughout the year such as the American Library Association's Annual Meetings, the International Congress on Medieval Studies, the Materials Research Society (MRS), Materials Science & Technology (MS&T), the American Society of Oriental Research (ASOR), and the Modern Language Association (MLA) Annual Convention, where our marketing literature is available to a wide range of academics, industry experts, and librarians.
We produce annual marketing plans, devised by our marketing team in discussion with Editors and society officers, and assign significant budgets to each annual campaign. Supporting this are extensive website entries for each journal (with useful external links and discursive aims and scopes), subject catalogues, and well-received material like our annual newsletter, News@Maney. Our E-marketing software allows us to promote our journals via email in order to increase online usage.
Production quality and status transparency
Maney-branded publications have a long-standing reputation for quality of production. Production workflows at Maney are matched to the copy flow and publication requirements of individual journals in order to maximise efficiencies throughout the production process.
Copyediting is a publisher's responsibility, and we combine computerised systems for the 'pre-editing' and formatting of text with textual editing by professional sub editors. Paper, printing, and binding are always of a high standard. Quality of reproduction is assured with those of our journals that are illustrated. We have weighed the benefits of printing in full colour and seen the dramatic improvements in presentation in titles such as Textile History, The Cartographic Journal, and The Journal of Orthodontics. All colour figures are provided online at no extra charge. Our journals are printed on sustainably sourced paper using vegetable-based organic inks.
Maney invests in new covers and textual designs and appreciates that journals are read online as well as in print. Digital printing is employed to facilitate the publication of 'niche' journals with circulations and turnover that other publishers would find uneconomic. Editors and authors are supported by Production Editors who work consistently with the same journals and who aim to make the actual process of producing a journal in print and online as smooth and as timely as possible.
Academic Editors are given access to ManeyTrack, Maney's web-based production tracking system. Via ManeyTrack Editors are able to view, at any time, live information regarding their journal's issue production status and scheduling details. Correspondng authors are also supplied with secure log-in details in order that they may view live article status.
Electronic publishing
All Maney journals are published in print and online [visit our Online area here], and we partner with IngentaConnect for electronic delivery. 'Fast track' online publishing in advance of appearance in print is offered for many titles so that papers can be viewed and downloaded as soon as they are proofed and corrected. Every institutional subscriber is entitled to online access — and actively encouraged to maximize that access. The online version of each issue is posted in advance of the distribution of the printed copy, and the online list of contents offers free sample content and trial periods. We, and Ingenta, offer statistics on usage which are COUNTER-compliant. The COUNTER project (Counting Online Usage of Networked Electronic Resources) has developed international standards so that publishers, libraries and others can compare statistics from a variety of sources in the knowledge that these are being generated consistently.
Maney is a member of the CrossRef project, a collaborative reference linking service used by participating publishers to enable readers to follow links from an article's references to the online content of the cited article, if that article is available in electronic format. A researcher clicking on a reference link will be connected to the corresponding journal or publisher's website, showing a full bibliographic citation of the article and, in most cases, an abstract. The complete text of that article will be available through the appropriate mechanism. This hyperlinking ability increases the visibility of journals that use the CrossRef system.
All journals joining Maney's list are published online [visit our Online area here], and any existing online archives transferred. We have begun to digitize journal back volumes, and in 2010 the subscription price of these journals includes access to the entire archive.
Electronic licensing
We have developed our MORE (Maney Online Research E-journals) Collections to allow libraries, library consortia, and multinational organisations to purchase our full list of journals in any or all of our three subject groupings: History & Humanities; Materials Science & Engineering; and Healthcare and Biomedicine. Purchasing journals as packages has become a popular way to acquire content. Libraries can offer more content than they would otherwise be able to buy, bringing new journals to the attention of much wider audiences.
Some Maney journals are also sublicensed to full-text aggregators like EBSCOHost, which in turn supply journals to a market that would not normally purchase full-price subscriptions, such as colleges that teach to first degree level only. Maney also contributes appropriate journals to projects like HINARI that deliver journal content free of charge to academic institutions in those countries with the lowest per capita income worldwide.
Service to Editors and society officers
To every Maney journal is assigned a Managing Editor, Marketing Executive, Production Editor, and Customer Sales and Service Executive. Journal Editors work closely with Maney staff.
Behind this four-strong team are the full resources of the company.
Peer review
Maney is committed to high-quality peer review in all its journals, and we have stimulated improvements to the quality of all our journals. With greater choice of articles, Editors are able to be more selective. Peer review is managed by the editorial office of each journal. In order to support journals that have significant numbers of submissions, Maney has adopted the Editorial Manager™ (EM) software as its online submission and peer review system. Each journal's EM website is configured to the appropriate workflow and offers authors and editors real-time information on the status of their paper. The implementation of EM has resulted in a significant reduction of the time from submission of a paper to the decision on acceptance. For more information about peer review with Maney please click here.
International Editorial Boards
We regard Editorial Boards as an important resource for journals and have encouraged international appointments. Beyond their role as referees and subject advisers, we seek board members' advice on marketing and conference attendance. Members of boards are always supplied with free access to their journal, in either print or electronic format.
Supporting our authors
Effective peer review is a key requirement of authors. Our Editors provide quick decisions and fruitful feedback so that papers can be revised and improved. Proofing, in the form of PDF files, is straightforward and efficient. Live article production status can be viewed at any time via ManeyTrack , Maney's web-based production tracking system.
Authors can post the post-prints (defined as the peer reviewed, revised and accepted versions, but prior to copyediting and typesetting by Maney) of their articles on personal and institutional websites or repositories. Pre-prints (defined as the submitted article prior to completion of the peer review process) may also be posted, but should always be replaced with the post-print once the article has been finally accepted. Authors will receive an Eprint of their final published paper upon publication of the issue that they may circulate to colleagues but may not make available on their own website or any institutional or subject specific open access repository. However, Maney does understand that on occasion authors will be required to post a copy of the final published article into a repository of a funding body or similar organisation if they have been in receipt of financial assistance. In such instances, permission to post the Eprint will be given upon receipt of supplementary documentation from the author detailing the specific funding body and their requirements.
To view Maney's specially dedicated author pages that are rich with resources and information please click here.
Abstracting & indexing (A&I)
We recognise how important citations are to authors. All eligible Maney journals are included in Scopus and Web of Knowledge (Science or Social Science Citation Index) and we encourage journals to follow legitimate strategies to raise impact factors. All journals are submitted to appropriate A&I services. Language titles are included in the MLA Bibliography, and most medical titles in MEDLINE.
Global reach
The market for Maney titles is worldwide: here, we illustrate how we support two key markets in addition to our presence in Europe.
It was vital that, as Maney developed its journal list, we supported our North American customers, editors, editorial board members, and authors with a local office, and in 2000 we opened our customer service facility in Cambridge, Massachusetts (click here for full address of US office). Information on Maney's titles is always available from this office, which acts as a forwarding address for mail sent by internal Canadian and U.S. mail, and has a vital role in promoting our journals, and ensuring maximum renewal rates from the library community. In 2007 we appointed an American Executive Publisher to work with North American clients and prospective customers. We have marketing and distribution networks for our books in America under which they are immediately available through online bookstores and library suppliers, and promoted at subject-specific conferences.
Maney was one of the first publishers to establish electronic licensing agreements for China, and a very significant number of academic institutions within the People's Republic now have access to Maney's technical and medical journals. An agreement with the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information in Beijing offers access to the entire online files of these journals. In addition, Maney has agreements with the main Chinese subscription agents to import its journals and has seen a significant increase in the number of copies bought for Chinese libraries in the last five years. Maney supports this market with active marketing at the Beijing Book Fair, meetings of Chinese librarians, and appropriate subject-based scientific conferences. We also have a Chinese-language website that provides full information on the submission of articles and access to the journals.
Distribution and subscription administration
We have a state-of-the-art subscription system which manages over 30,000 subscriptions from almost every country in the world, dealing directly with subscribers and with several hundred subscription agents who place orders on behalf of libraries. Interlocking systems (EDI) between these agents' and our systems ensure accurate and speedy annual renewals, while we actively pursue late renewing subscribers throughout the year by mail, email, and telephone. We have smoothly transferred to our system the subscriptions the journals previously handled by societies themselves or by other publishers. We normally mail printed copies of our journals by air; replace undelivered issues at no cost; and maintain a substantial archive of back volumes.
New journals
As scholarship and research advances, emerging subject areas require new journals and Maney has launched several journals in the last few years, including: Energy Materials, Family & Community History, and Tribology: Materials, Surfaces & Interfaces. In 2009, Bubble Science, Engineering & Technology and The Historic Environment have been launched. New proposals are always welcome and investigated carefully.
Book publishing
Maney publishes about forty books a year in a number of long-established, prestigious series associated with societies whose journals we also manage. The Legenda series, which we publish with the Modern Humanities Research Association, is one of the most important for European language and literature research.
In addition to our U.S. office, we have two offices in the United Kingdom. Our Leeds office is located in a former restored textile mill, while we have an office in central London in Carlton House Terrace very near the Royal Society and the British Academy. Visitors are most welcome at either location [click here for our contact details].
Going further
If what you have read persuades you that Maney can offer you, your journal, or your society, a responsive, rewarding publishing environment, we would be delighted to hear from you. Please contact either Mark Simon, our Publishing Director (firstname.lastname@example.com), or Kimberly Martin, Executive Publisher (email@example.com). We will meet you in your office or ours, or at a conference (future Maney attendances can be seen in the subject "Spotlights" on our website - see the right hand menu for links).
It may be that your journal is currently contracted to another publisher. Nevertheless we would be happy to discuss the range of our services now, so that when the current contract is reviewed, you have a clear picture of a viable alternative to your existing arrangements. We are proud of the service Maney Publishing offers the scholarly and professional community. We hope you will give us an opportunity to present our skill and experience in journal publishing in a period of transition and change. We would be pleased to provide you with the names and addresses of society officers with whom we work so that you can obtain references for the experience, skill, and motivation of Maney staff, and the success of the publishing arrangements that we have entered into.
New Proposals - Further Information
In order to evaluate a proposal for a new journal, we would need the following:
1. Main title and subtitle, with some alternatives.
2. The initial number of issues, and the number and type of articles that might be published (reviews, commentary, primary research, methods, educational summaries, etc).
3. A short Aims and Scope of up to 150 words and a longer discursive one of 4-5 paragraphs (the former might appear in the journal itself, the latter would be used for marketing and on the Maney website).
4. The name and address (postal and email) of the proposed Editor and Co-editors.
5. The names of people who might serve on the Editorial Board (subject to confirmation).
6. A comprehensive review of the competition with the salient features of each title and the reasons why the new journal would be different.
7. A list of topics on which the journal would seek to publish and a list of past papers that it might have published.
8. At least seven headwords that could be used for a database search to assess the number of potential authors for the new journal.
9. National and international conferences that potential authors and subscribers would attend.
10. The prospects of the journal being adopted by a professional or scholarly society. In such circumstances, would the journal be included in the membership fee?
11. The possibility of receiving sponsorship for some of the start-up costs.
12. The names of societies from which we might be able to obtain mailing lists for promotion.
13. The names and addresses of at least six referees that would be able to give us an assessment of the merits of the proposal.

Reading between the Headlines
It's been a busy week – Tiger's back, the competition for spring training jobs are tightening up, and Luke Wilson is sponsoring (or it could be AT&T, at this point, I can't really tell) some college basketball tournament that must not be too popular because it's on during the day and only on CBS. Anyway, on to this week's headlines…
- Tiger Woods announced he is returning to golf at the Masters.
Shocker. He picked a tournament at a private, all-male club that has a small field of competition and restricts "patrons" from sneezing without asking for permission first. Wake me when he plays somewhere that allows "commoners." Meanwhile, we got a sneak preview of what the next "Tiger Woods Golf" video game will look like.
- The Big East got hammered on the first day of the NCAA tournament.
Thanks for nothing, Georgetown and Marquette. JTIII will be getting a bill for my bracket. What the hell, Big East? Just because you got 8 bids doesn't mean you need to lose them all the first weekend. Villanova, we still cool. But remember, you're playing for Barry.
- ESPN's Buster Olney reported that the Philadelphia Phillies had internal discussions about trading Ryan Howard for Cardinal first baseman Albert Pujols.
While St. Louis fans spent the week arguing over who was worse: Keith Law or Olney, Philly fans instead got drunk and burned down both of their houses.
- After apologizing for using cocaine and subsequently failing a drug test, Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington also admitted smoking pot and using amphetamines back in his playing days.
Ron Washington seems like a lot of fun. With one ex-addict already on the roster, Wash is sure setting one hell of an example for the rest of the team.
- The NFL plans to vote on changes to the overtime rules for next season's playoffs.
And somewhere, Marty Mornhinweg smiles, as he will still "take the wind."
- Lance Armstrong is mad because Tony Kornheiser made a joke about running bicyclists off the road on his local radio show.
Lance, it's called "context." Get over yourself. Have you ever driven in DC? Tony is right; the bicyclists there are insufferable and apparently color-blind as they appear unable to see red lights.
- John Fox thinks Tim Tebow had a "very, very good workout" for pro scouts the other day.
A) It's a workout. B) This is the same guy who let Jake Delhomme start football games last year. Pardon me if I wait for someone else's opinion.
- The NBA approved Michael Jordan's bid to purchase the Charlotte Bobcats – thereby becoming the first ex-player to ever hold a majority interest in an NBA team.
Congrats to MJ. I can't wait until he uses a first round pick to draft his son then summarily trades him for a pair of Mom jeans.

When we think about stay-at-home motherhood, it's often in the context of the "mommy wars,'' the overhyped state of judgmentalism that inspires guilt, attachment-parenting manifestos, suspicious glances on playgrounds, and cathartic chick lit. What we don't hear, so much, is the husbands' point of view - maybe because it isn't always pretty. A new research paper posits a controversial, husband-centric explanation for why women are so underrepresented on corporate boards and in executive suites: What if some companies are unfriendly to women, because they're run with men with stay-at-home wives?

I borrow more European countries are now falling back into recession and as austerity measures failed to revive their economies.
How -- we change policy going for dole should wait joining me now is Matthew -- chief executive of strategy economics and a columnist for MarketWatch -- Matthew.
It seems to me there's an austerity backlash going on in Europe.
The question is will Germany ever -- in its view all of budget restraint.
Democrats and that's the big question in regard we -- -- presidential -- coming up their phones of the weekend as you probably night.
That's likely to run by the socialist Francois along these.
He made a -- key a key campaign pledge that he was to take back against austerity.
We see in the Spanish Spanish back in recession.
Officially this week the Spanish government is saying hey you know that it's -- the Dutch government.
As fallen that they the current us governor got a -- French government that because of the austerity packages.
So I think you know the kind of German view that -- -- have you know austerity the album in years I've been the government -- -- as part of the government -- -- nine -- wrong.
That was part of the number not the entire problem and it's not -- -- I mean that this that is about anymore more austerity across a cause problems.
And that -- country and they'll best up like structural reform that's all good getting deficit under control.
That's all good -- it is situation where economies and recession -- -- the making the situation was.
Right MSCI what's been inching up to this point I think the relationship between Angola Merkel of Germany and and Sarkozy of France is really kinda kept this thing together is Sarkozy goes.
What kind of relationship -- we expect between Merkel and -- -- And -- that's not very good -- that's pretty fractious what does that do to the Euro as a whole.
Whether I think come on that mean if the polls are right and -- all the -- -- along is gonna win that we're gonna saucy if you file exciting next week.
And as you say you know -- daisy ad and I'm not gonna be really key to -- this you know you -- prices have the last two years.
They pretty much had -- united front of fund manager that had disagreements behind the scenes.
Admitting you have you know what Carlton -- -- France and Germany agreed that the two big countries about a that they -- -- united and they can just about keep us on the right.
But there's not much evidence of -- not -- there's not in the it in in the in the bond markets.
Get -- -- five and that that's not gonna be but that's -- communities have to get relations gentlemen that dividends and political spectrum.
But also as we decide -- -- long -- as kind of placed himself.
That's kicking back against austerity that -- -- -- right manages the Germans are gonna like it I mean the German the Germans kind of -- to the needs of that that's among the big austerity retirement if they're not getting it.
You know who dies with the Germans accepted I think and then today they probably will put out there and very reluctantly put a lot of protests lot of tensions -- of -- of people walking yet.
All the try to stop the markets -- Matthew about.
Thirty seconds tops Spain do you believe Spain is gonna need a bail out and is it too big to -- -- too big to fail.
How about thirty seconds none of our kidding about that and -- -- what is -- okay and whether that what vegetarian -- Is what they didn't doing great in Greece which is restructure the debt that they -- they've.
They they wasted two years have ever crisis and -- today in Greece.
What they finally we start to the debt what is that you do in Spain is is it that NASDAQ went on really -- instead we get a restructuring that.
-- and -- by the two years a crisis that would be a big relief for after what.
Indeed it would all right thank you so much Matthew -- MarketWatch had joining us from London this -- and Matthew thank you very.

D-scene: Nov. 7-13
For years, the simple venue on 14 Mile Road in Madison Heights has maintained its Irish roots (if only by name). That all changed on October 19 when the Orange Barrel made its debut. The sports bar and grill replaces McLovin's Irish Sports Bar (pictured) which opened last April. The two-story, 3,000 square-foot bar was also the Naughty Irishman, which closed after about four months, McCool's Sports Pub and Shenanigans.
