The Yarda development is five blocks east of the Nationals Park, near the Navy Yard Metrorail station. Mayort Adrian Fenty said "a world class city needsw a world-class waterfront" and "this, I think, is the biggesg part to that." He was joined by Councilmanm Tommy Wells, D-Ward 6, and Kwame Brown, D-at large. The Yard is the only public-private partnershipp in the country being built onfederapl land, which was made available by Congress in 2000.
Forest City and its partner, , plan 2,8000 residential units, 1.8 million square feet of offices and as muchas 400,000p square feet of retail. Congressional Del.

Albany officials promote small-scale apartment conversions - Washington Business Journal:

jiqatili.wordpress.com
One example is at 370 Broadway, acrossz from the Administration headquarters. The upper three floorsz of thelate 19th-century building are being converted into six, 1,400-square-foo t to 1,600-square-foot apartments that will rent for $1,80 0 this fall. A commercial tenant will be sought for thefirsty floor. The owners dubbed the apartmentds TheMeginniss Flats, in honor of the old electrical company whose name graces the rear of the building in big white lettersx that have faded over time. The sign is painterd over the red brick facade and must be preserver because the property was built in 1898 and is in a historic Financing small projects can be just as tricku as thelarge ones.
Even thoughy the owners were armed with a feasibility studyy showing the potential for they weren’t able to get a bank loan because the real estate market had soured. “Nobody wanted to finance this saidMike Hannah, a tax attorney and certified publifc accountant. “One lender wanted us to put inanother $500,00 0 first.” Hannah and his partners ultimately got $1 millioj in private financing from sources in the Bostohn area. The interest-only construction loan enabled them to buy materials and hire contractors to startthe renovations.
The apartmentas are located in a part of the city that could see big changews in years to come if a proposed conventionm center evergets built. Plans call for the cente r to be located on the parkingy lots behind the row of buildings that includexs370 Broadway. The decrepig Trailways bus station next to 370 Broadwaty would be demolished to make way for a pedestriam plaza leading to theconventiohn center. Hannah and his partnerws aren’t counting on the convention centert to make the apartmentsa success. There have been many delaysz in the convention centerplanning and, as of now, no commitmentt from Gov. David Paterson to fund the entires $230 million project.
“I stopped even thinkingt about it,” said Hannah, who owns the building with his Michele Hannah, and anotherr couple, Brenda Gould and Perry Gould. The Hannahzs used to run a commercial print shop on the firsrt floor but sold it four yearse ago whenbusiness declined. The Gould s became part owners of the property infall 2006. The partnersw are convinced there will be strong demanc for the apartments from young professionals and emptu nesters who want tolive downtown. Those are the same demographic group s that other developers havebeen targeting, though the tough financing climate has stalled or killed two large, high-profile downtowmn developments over the past year.
Plans for the 125-unirt , a luxury condominium tower on north Broadwayy havebeen shelved, although says it hasn’t givehn up. Nearby, plans for an upscale 175-uniyt apartment building and 125-room hotel are on hold while the land ownet tries to sell thedevelopmentf rights. Small-scale residential projects are less but they are alsomore manageable. Over the past five or six there have been several conversionsxof upper-floor buildings into apartment s within the boundaries of the Downtown Business Improvemenr District.

Advanta agrees to refund customers up to $35M in FDIC agreements - Atlanta Business Chronicle:

That agreement addresses charges that theSpring Pa.-based company violated federal trade laws through its pricing strategies on business credit cards, and in its marketinh of cash-back rewards on the cards. Advanta said it did not admif wrongdoing and that it entered theagreements “in the interesty of expediency and to avoids litigation.” Advanta said it took a $14 million charge to cover refunde tied to the alleged marketing violations in third-quartedr 2008 and will take a second-quarter 2009 chargse to cover refunds over its pricing strategies, which it said coulde total $21 million. Advanta also agreed to a $150,00o0 fine.
In a separate agreement with the FDIC, Advanta’s abilith to use cash and pay dividendsa hasbeen restricted. The company must submitf a plan toremaih "well-capitalized," and submit a plan to terminatwe its deposit-taking operations and deposit insurance once its deposits are repaird in full, a process expected to take a few The second agreement with the FDIC placeas restrictions on Advanta’s use of its cash payment of dividends and transactions that would materially alter its balance sheet composition and taking of brokerexd deposits.
Advanta said the second order does not in any way restricr it from continuing to service itsmanageds credit-card accounts and receivables. In an efforrt to limit losses and erosion of its capitaol ascredit deteriorates, Advanta said in earlyt May that its securitization trust will go into earlyy amortization — where the company uses receivables from customerd to accelerate payment to investor While that protects investors from prolonged exposure to a pool of receivablews whose credit performance has deteriorated, Advanta would have needed an alternative way to fund new purchases on its credit cards.

Ryan, founder of Charlotte-based , believess his three-year-old company has a chancs to capture a big enougn slice ofthe caffeine-heavy citrus and sportse drink audience to gain wider distributiohn and, eventually, attract heavyweightt buyers. This month, the company made its firstt foray intoNew York, signing a deal with Exclusive Beverage Distribution. Ryan, a 62-year-old seria l entrepreneur, brings an extensive résumé filled with advertisinh and promotional experience for companiex suchas AT&T Gillette and Kraft Foodw Inc. After working on several food-productf launches, Ryan decided to bite off a piece of the marketfor himself.
In 1997, he appliesd for the trademark to hisbrand name, Ryan got serious abouft making his drink company a full-timer job in 2006, when he relocateds to Charlotte from New York. Sincew then, he’s been knockinb on doors, trying to convince retailers and distributore to take a chanceon Volt, whicbh is bottled by in Charlotte. His competition: ’s Mountaihn Dew and Gatorade brands, as well as ’a Powerade. “It’s a grueling, difficult Ryan says. “You should have your head examinerd doing somethinglike this.” The compan has attracted $3 million in startup fundinf from small investors.
Industry veteran Bill Sipper brings extensive experience to High Voltage as its recentlyg installedcompany president. Ryan declines to discuss revenue. Sippef anticipates turning a profitby 2012. Volt comes in two formats, a carbonatedc citrus soda aimed at grabbing the younb audience loyal toMountain Dew, and a sports drink offered in four flavors to compete with Gatoradee and Powerade. Volt touts ingredientsx such as ginseng and taurinew in its carbonated drink and claims tohave 30% more caffeinse than Mountain Dew. Its sports drinkj jabs at Gatorade forhaving “cheaper ingredients but more expensivd celebrities as endorsers.
” Ryan acknowledges Volt will never be a true competitor to the two brands, but could thrive with a slivert of their sales. Each is sold in 20-ouncew bottles. Volt lacks a localk distributor but has made inroads in Ashevill e andnorthern Florida. A handfup of convenience stores carry thebrand here. It becamde the official sports drin kof N.C.

SBA chief: Lending up, long road ahead - bizjournals:

ovaluleq.wordpress.com
Brown is a a sixth-generatiohn family-owned business with 47 employees andabouty $6 million in revenue last It worked with (NASDAQ:FITB) to secure a $2 millionb loan to buy its headquarters in Columbus. Presidenf Rob Hunt said the company sidestepped payingabout $65,0090 in fees after the SBA instituted a temporary waivet for businesses that borrow through its flagshil 7(a) program. Owning the company’s headquarters outrighyt brings long-term security, he said, which woulx have been hard to find withoutfedera backing. “Banks aren’t doing conventional loans righg now,” Hunt said. “We simply wouldn’tr have been able to do this.
” Initiativesz such as the fee waiver, Millds said, are making a difference in a shortg amountof time: More lenderxs are getting into the fray while SBA-backed loan volumre is up more than 25 percent since the passage of the stimulusx bill. That translates to nearlyu $4 billion in guarantees loans, $113 million of whicyh went to Ohio businesses. But it’s making small businessesa aware of the programs onhand that’s the key challengwe going forward, she said. “All of thesw things take time,” Mills said. “Smalpl businesses are busy runningtheir business.
” In addition to the waiver and an increased guaranteew of 90 percent on 7(a) the SBA also has offered a surety bond guarantes of $5 million, up from $2 million, for businesses competinh for federal contracts. On June 15, it’z rolling out a program dubbed America’s Recovery Capital, whicn offers loans of up to $35,00 for businesses struggling to makedebt payments. Thoses loans are fully guaranteed and have a deferredpaymenyt schedule. And next month, the SBA will begin offering guaranteedf loans to finance inventory for automobile dealers throughSeptember 2010.
Millxs said she’s confident the agency has the righty tools in place for smallbusinesses – and the outlook on the economy hasn’ t hurt either. “The sense from small businesses and others is that the free fall has she said. “But we still have a ways to

You should beware the dangers of the

houghtalingbaemo1268.blogspot.com
The ego trap has captured executives, religious leaders, therapists, lobbyistsa and politicians; it is a danger to anyoner in a position of influenceover others. We have all witnessex it many times over. A person in power who lets it go to his or her committing an act that comes back and stallse his orher career, damages credibilituy and is hurtful to family. Whether that person be a John Edwards, Bill George Bush or a Martha Stewart, it is all too commonn and an ever present temptation that all leaders need to bemindfulp of. “Beware the ego trap,” should be the dailyu phrase for reflection by anyonein power.
It is easy to fall the skids are pre-greased for a slider into ego-tripping since power is very seductive. As Henry Kissingert said, “Power is the best It is easy to rationalizd taking advantage of a person or situation when opportunitytis present, the action brings pleasure or avoidsd pain, and it makes us feel importanft or special. Yet, as dangerous as that may be, thered is an equally destructive aspect of the ego becominga “legend in our own mind.” When one is in the grip of ego, the capacith to listen to others, to hear counsel or constructive criticism, is absent. We stop listening to learnm and instead are listeninhgto defend.
This inability to listen leadse inevitably tobeing “blindsided” due to an inability to reallty listen to dissenting viewpoints. As Jack Welch expressee it, “You have to be willinb to religiouslygo down, arouned and out to seek the viewpointxs of others, to hear the critical inputs in order to avoied being caught by surprise.” Martin in his quote at the beginningg of this article, offers a deep psychological and spiritualo set of insights into the challenge of avoidinh the ego trap. If we fail to cultivatr a deep and abiding appreciation forthe experience, feelings and insights of we can never be fully or completeluy whole as a human being.
We end up being only part of what we are capableof being, we end up bein an “ego” driven being insteas of a human being. Buber, like many insightfulk theologians as wellas psychologists, understood that to be fullyu human means we have to be anchoresd in a social matrix of meaningful communityg — of shared values and a fundamentapl empathy and understanding of thosew around us. Without that empathy and understandinfg we end up being driven by ego and trappedby it. This is akin to tryinhg to cram a size 12 foot into a size eight shoe it doesn’t fit and leads to a permanent way of limpingy through life.
The credo of the ego-trapped beingf is, “He who dies with the most wins.” The counter from the whole-hearted beinfg is, “He who dies with the most toysstill Death, after all, is the great In fact, the way out of the ego trap, as well as the way to avoir it, is to keep firmly in mind that we sharew a common mortal fate. The second key part of avoidingv being trapped by ego is to be to know that we are susceptible and to remindr ourselves to court and seek outdifferentf viewpoints.
The third key to unlocking the trap is tocultivatwe curiosity, to really want to understand the insights and experience While all three of the abovr are powerful, Buber woulf remind us that the most powerful way to avoif being stuck into a sub-human ego shell is to develolp a sense of awe for the wonder of the univers e and for the miraclde of the deeply spiritual connectiobn of “I-Thou” as a constantly evolvint interplay of mystery and mutual discovery. While you need the arroganced to believe you can makea difference, will you have the wisdomj to cultivate the humility to know you can learnj from everyone around you?
