Market Makers = Crooks-R-Us.......2002-03-25
An eye-opener. Even after all the security laws/regulations passed during/after the Great Depression, there is still an insiders club that exists within the Stock Exchanges. And that "club" continues to fleece the average retail investor. The Exchange rationalizes the "club" as necessary to stabilize market prices. When in reality, the "club" introduces instability for its own gain. Corporate insiders have to disclose stock transactions. Why not the market makers? Even though the book is thirty-years old, it still rings true today. The club still exists and the government still has done relatively little to reign in the abuses of the insiders "club."

Book Description
Adjusting to his parents divorce is a tough way to spend the summer for twelve-year-old Toby. Missing his dad and his friends, Toby tries to get to know his new, multicultural neighborhood, but right away he notices something creepy about 7th Street: everyone is sullen and angry. They all seem to be afraid of a teen gang that rules the neighborhood. Are they behind the mysterious car fires, packs of wild dogs, and a freak hailstorm?
No one has answers except for Tobys only friend, Moe, a homeless man who lives near an old warehouse bearing the gangs repulsive graffiti. One wall depicts a despicable mural of horror and violence that has a magical effect on the neighborhood. By tapping into its centuries-old power - linked to a famous Iroquois peacemaker - Toby and Moe find the courage to fight the gang and take back their neighborhood.

Rebuilding a Neighborhood by Reclaiming Lost Dreams........2007-07-21
An Exciting Story About Rebuilding a Neighborhood by Reclaiming Lost Dreams.
Wall On 7th Street
July 14, 2007
This is the second book that I've reviewed in the last year after a brief hiatus and it was well worth the wait. This book satisfied the cravings felt by anyone in search of a good book. It was colorful, well written and the plot was outstanding!
Toby and his sister have moved into a new neighborhood after their parents' recent divorce. It's a new neighborhood for Toby and his sister Beth but it's their mother's childhood neighborhood. Toby's mother has fond memories about this neighborhood, but now it has been overrun by a gang called the "Strafers."
Toby befriends a homeless man named Moe and is given a reason to love the neighborhood that he has thus far despised. Moe and Toby will fight the Strafers with a rather unconventional but effective weapon ... a paint brush.
As the book progresses from the normal to the paranormal there are so many reasons to keep on reading. This book will engage your imagination in a manner reminiscent of Katherine Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia. Toby begins to see what Moe has already seen and then the reader and the other residents of the 7th Street neighborhood are privy to their vision. Together they will fight back to regain control of their neighborhood and to make their visions a reality.
An exciting and well written piece of Children's literature through and through; The Wall on 7th Street is a classic fit for the silver screen.

Evan L.-The Wall On 7th Street.......2007-03-27
Well I thought this book was really good, and too tell you the truth i didn't think it would have been that great at all. What I liked about the plot is that they used a gloomy neighborhood of quiet and nasty people, But then it changes to a nice place and not so scary anymore. I liked how determined Moe and Toby were to get all these paintings on the wall and all of the bad things on 7th street out. I think that they could have made the Strafers a little bit nicer because it made me said when it said they picked on the little old lady sarah. I also didn't like when Toby just got their and gets beat up right away. Also when they beat up moe and ruined his little house. I would recommend this book to a kid whos 13 and likes a good mystery. Also if you like bright colors. Also if you'd rather sort it out in a non violent way instead of a punch and hurt kind of way.
Tremble, cry and cheer with the people of 7th Street........2006-02-01
Genre: Youth Fiction
Title: The Wall on 7th Street
AUTHOR: Diane Martineau
Toby Maxwell's 13 year-old world is crumbling around him. No teenager is prepared for the word `divorce' but now Toby, his Mom and sister Beth have moved into a sad and lonely neighborhood run by bullies. The Strafers have control of the street and the huge warehouse wall that dominates the landscape. Strafer art consists of monsters, war, murder and mayhem and intimidates the people of 7th Street.
Toby's only friend is Moe the homeless man, who is the bravest man on the street. He and Toby plot to overturn the Strafers' power in a rather unconventional way.
The Wall on 7th Street is chocked full of entertaining, colorful characters who interact in a most interesting way. Educational, enlightening and inspiring the story will capture the interest and the hearts of young readers. The cover art portrays the wall beautifully.
Author Diane Martineau is a retired art teacher living in upper New York State in what was once Iroquois Land. Her interest in the Iroquois culture shines through in this novel as well as her experience with paint and art. As a retired teacher, she understands the psyche of young people and her writing appeals to their interests and problems.
Pick up a copy today and tremble, cry and cheer with the people of 7th Street. Highly recommended by Shirley Roe, Allbooks Reviews.
Looking for a Good Read?.......2006-01-03
This captivating story mixes real life with a bit of fantasy. Although it was written for younger audiences, it would be great reading for any age. It was inspiring to see how this young boy didn't want to give up on the difficult situations he faced, but used ingenuity to make things better for the whole neighborhood. I especially enjoyed all the many varied people that Toby meets and his growing friendship with the homeless man, Moe.
The author uses great description, so that I could actually picture the neighborhood and interesting characters. I really wanted Toby to succeed.
A FANTASTIC BOOK! Recommended by a kid for all kids........2005-10-03
This is now one of my ALL TIME favorite books! You start it and you won't stop reading until the end. I think that it is a good book for either boys or girls up to about age 15. (I am 14 and loved it, and now my 11 year old brother won't give it back and he usually hates to read.) It talks about things that kids really experience and you can tell that the author really knows kids and respects them. What's best about the book is how great the characters are. They are like real people. I also liked learning about the Indians and thought that having the boy in the book have a friend who is homeless was excellent. It gives you a new perspective on what people experience who are homeless. I think that you see people in that situation differently after you've read the book. I recommend this book to any kid who is looking for a really good book. Or it's a great idea for any adult who is looking for a gift that a kid will really like.

Book Description
In the best-selling How to Read the Financial Pages, Michael Brett stripped the mystique from the world of investment and finance and sold over 180,000 copies as a result. In How to Figure Out Company Accounts the author once again applies the same practical, jargon-free method to help us all understand company accounts. For investors, both professional and amateur, or anyone in business, the annual report and accounts is the critical document that reveals the health (or otherwise) of a company and points the way forward towards the company's growth plans and strategies. It is the annual scorecard from which much can be revealed - if you know what you are looking for. If you want to get inside a company, all the information you will need is there for all to see. But in order to understand that information, the “language” of the report has to be learned. This includes not only the financial information as set out in the balance sheet, profit and loss account and the cash flow statement, but also the Notes which contain critical data on how the company is run and by whom, the Chairman's statement, the CFO's financial review and the general Review of the year's operations. All these elements are looked at and analysed in the author's no-nonsense style. Key financial ratios are also explained, which in themselves provide a critical snapshot of how a company is performing. This is not about creating a set of account. It seeks to set out clearly the language of existing accounts for anyone who needs to understand or interpret them in the course of their work or their personal investment decisions. It assumes no previous financial or accounting knowledge. With his a step-by-step approach Michael Brett guides the non-expert through the basic concepts first before moving on to the more complex detail.

Book Description
This latest book in the Ruffin Series in Business Ethics is the first work to analyze the significance of gender in the ethical management of business organizations. Scholars from the fields of business ethics and women's studies come together in this book to offer fresh new perspectives on business ethics. The contributors examine the value of feminist theory and scholarship for business ethics, and from this examination four overarching themes emerge. The first theme is that corporations are socially constructed organizations that assume, in their practice and ideology, that men are the standard of measurement. Secondly, this work highlights the power of feminist critiques to bring gender into focus as a central organizing principle of economic life. The third theme explores the existence of "frames," unexamined habits of mind that are taken for granted and prevent alternative ways of thinking, especially about the role of women at the periphery of organizations. The fourth theme is that business ethics itself has been feminized in its subordinate position relative to the dominant fields in the hierarchy of business management, such as finance and strategy. Women's Studies and Business Ethics brings together some of the most important thinkers on organizations and gender issues today. The confluence of experts in these hitherto disparate fields, and the rich and lively dialogue it produces, results in a book that will be fascinating reading for scholars, students, and professionals involved in all aspects of business and management.

From the supplier: Security records should be properly kept as these may prove to be crucial evidence in negligent security lawsuits. The importance of good record keeping was highlighted by a recent case involving the rape and murder of a young and pregnant doctor in her Bellevue Hospital office. The plaintiffs used the hospital's own security logs to buttress its case, claiming that it showed security lapses. However, the defense countered that the hospital provided adequate security and any lapses were reasonable under the circumstances. It said the perpetrator was allowed inside the hospital premises since the temperature was below freezing. It also proved that the floor where the crime occurred was patrolled. The jury ruled 10-2 in favor of the defendant, citing reasonable security.
