Barry Marks Retracts Statement re: American States, Tampa, Florida
“It appears that I was misled by the vendor in this matter. Mark Kerrutt of
American States responded immediately and explained the situation (after
seeing information in Leasing News. editor). As I noted before, I was working off partial information and it appears that American States did not stiff the vendor.
“I am merely passing on the other side of the story, but this sounds like a situation where the deal simply busted.
“According to Mr. Kerrutt, his purchase order reads:
‘THIS PURCHASE ORDER SUBJECT TO ‘COMPLETE AND FINAL DOCUMENTATION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DELIVERY AND ‘ACCEPTANCE, UCC/TITLE SEARCHES, AND COMPLETE SATISFACTION OF DEBTOR. ALSO SUBJECT ‘TO NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE IN LESSEE'S PERCEIVED CREDIT WORTHINESS IN THE ‘SECURED PARTY'S SOLE DISCRETION. THE ORDER WILL BE PAYABLE WITHIN 10 DAYS UPON ‘RECEIPT OF SATISFACTORY INFORMATION IN SECURED PARTY'S SOLE DISCRETION.’
“Good language, indeed. Again, I still don't know why American States failed to answer the lawsuit or what the status will be, but I retract any adverse implication about this company “

PinnLeasing USA---Tommy Larsen—Up-Date
The court action against Pinn Fund resulted in the conviction
of its president Michael Fanghella.
Prosecutors gained his help when he pleaded guilty in March 2002 to several federal charges. Fanghella agreed to help investigators in hopes of reducing his possible 14-year prison sentence. Others involved have been prosecuted
with some money being returned and others getting jail time.
PinnFund was a classic pyramid scheme, prosecutors allege. Investors were told that their money was being used to finance mortgage loans. But instead, it was being used to cover PinnFund's massive losses, pay for Fanghella's lavish lifestyle and to give investors a promised 17 percent monthly return.
Fanghella's lifestyle grabbed most of the headlines. Using investor money, he purchased homes in Rancho Santa Fe, bought a yacht and paid $100,000 for dinners and wine at 5-star restaurants. He also gave more than $10 million in gifts to an ex-girlfriend, who at one time had been a porn star.
Fanghella disappeared after the SEC filed its lawsuit. He turned himself over to authorities in August 2001 and has been behind bars since.
Tommy Larsen, president of a PinnFund subsidiary called PinnLease; and Larsen's son Kim Larsen, who also was involved in PinnLease, await a jury

### Press Release ############################
IBM Expands Leading IT Asset Recovery Offering To Small, Medium Businesses To Help Turn Older PCs, Servers And Printers Into Cash
"...customers may pay as little as $25 per item."
ARMONK, N.Y.----IBM announced an expansion of its Asset Recovery Solutions, services providing small and medium businesses with a cost-effective, environmentally responsible and easier way to deal with information technology systems and printers they no longer need.
IBM Asset Recovery Solutions is designed to give more options to a wide set of customers with unwanted IBM and non-IBM IT assets, while also helping them comply with new electronic waste and information privacy laws.
"With the expansion of IBM Asset Recovery Solutions, businesses of any size can benefit from IBM's innovative remarketing services and maximize the value of their unwanted IT assets," says William J. Smith III, general manager, IBM Global Financing, Americas. "If the IT is not remarketable, IBM will work with the customer to identify a disposal option that makes sense. More than 20 years of experience worldwide in the asset recovery business has given IBM great insight and understanding of the used IT marketplace as well as the infrastructure to help customers maximize the value of their IT assets."
The offerings for small and medium businesses through IBM Asset Recovery Solutions include:
-- Cash for IT -- IBM Global Financing will purchase surplus or obsolete IT based on its fair market value and absorb any inventory risk during the resale;
-- Asset Disposal -- For a small fee, items without recoverable value will be disposed of in accordance with EPA guidelines nd meet U.S., federal, state and local laws;
-- Data Overwrite -- Customer are responsible for removing all company data from systems before sending any assets to IBM. However, customers can take advantage of an optional disk sanitization and cleansing service to ensure proper overwrite of data. Hard file data is cleansed with a three-times overwrite process so that data is virtually impossible to recover. The option meets U.S. Department of Defense 5220-22-m 3-pass standards;
-- IBM also offers pickup and shipping services for a fee.
Obsolete IT is a growing problem in the United States and around the world. IT industry analyst firm IDC estimates that most corporations store older computer equipment for up to three years at a cost of about $360 per machine. And then they may pay an additional $218 for its eventual disposal. In 2002, the number of obsolete PCs outnumbered the number of new PCs entering the market by about 3.4 million. According to the National Safety Council, more than 315 million computers will have to be recycled or disposed of by next year.
Built on IBM's foundation of more than 20 years experience in IT asset recovery and previously offered to large customers as Asset Disposition & Support Services, IBM Asset Recovery Solutions provides a quick, cost-effective solution for small and medium businesses -- even one-person companies -- with a surplus of PC servers, notebooks, desktop PCs, laser printers and monitors.
Customers make one phone call to receive a quote from IBM. If the assets are remarketable, IBM pays for the IT equipment. But if the assets have no remarketing value, customers may pay as little as $25 per item.
For more information, or to begin the process, customers can send e-mail inquiries to dispose@us.ibm.com or call 1-888-SHOPIBM, select option 1 and then enter 7615. More information also is available at www.ibm.com/financing/dispose
About IBM Global Financing
As the largest information technology financier in the world, IBM Global Financing offers customers in more than 40 countries leasing and financing solutions for hardware, software and services acquired from IBM and other vendors.

This Day in American History
1713 -Birth of Father Junipero Serra, Spanish missionary to western America. From 1769, he established 9 of the first 21 Franciscan missions founded along the Pacific coast and baptized some 6,000 Indians before his death in 1784. In doing so, he erased the California Indian culture and way of life, often in a cruel manner, but he was on a “mission” and is part of elementary school projects to learn about the Catholic churches built in California. He is credited with helping to bring “civilization” to California coast, including vineyards.

1784- Zachary Taylor’s birthday, the soldier who became twelfth president of the US was born at Orange County, Virginia. Term of office, March 4, 1849-July 9, 1850. He was nominated at the Whig party convention in 1848, but, the story goes, he did not accept the letter notifying him of his nomination because it had postage due. He cast his first vote in 1846, when he was 62 years old. Becoming ill July 4, 1850, he died at the White House, July 9. His last words, " I am sorry that I am about to leave my friends."
1832- South Carolina passes Ordinance of Nullification to challenge

1863-“Lookout Mountain” Battle; part of a major three day major Civil War battle, after reinforcing the besieged Union army at Chattanooga, Tennessee, General Ulysses S. Grant launched the battle of Chattanooga.. Evidently falsely secure in the knowledge that his troops were in an impregnable position on Lookout Mountain, Confederate General Braxton Bragg and his army were overrun by the Union forces. Bragg himself barely escaped capture. The battle is very famous for the Union Army's spectacular advance up a heavily forced slope into the teeth of the enemy guns. Many historians claim this victory gave Grant the momentum of his campaign. My friend Bob Bell talks about a cemetery in his town where 32,000 troops are buried from this battle.

The contestants included nine regiments of the New York National Guard, one regiment of the New Jersey National Guard, the U.S. Engineers, and a squad of regular servicemen from Governors Island. The first president of the association was General Ambrose Everett Burnside, who had commanded the Army of the Potomac during the Civil War.
1880 -In Montgomery, AL, more than 150 delegates from Baptist churches in 11 states met to form the Baptist Foreign Missions Convention of the United States. Liberian missionary William W. Colley was chief organizer, and the Rev. William H. McAlpine was elected the first president.

She attended two years at Cambridge on a fellowship and was refused a degree or a transcript because of her sex. She taught religion at Barnard College from 1919-1940 and taught at Union Seminary along with her husband. She was dean and professor of religion at Sweet Briar College. In 1950 became the first woman to hold a faculty chair at Union Seminary although a few years earlier she had been terminated because her husband (15 years her senior) had retired and it was "assumed" she would be retiring also.

1919 -- The Oscar Mayer Company reopens a meat-packing plant on Madison's east side. The company searched for skilled workers in a recruiting frenzy that included a sweep of Milwaukee's Polish saloons during the Cudahy packing-plant strike. The Oscar Mayer plant had been operated by the Farmers' Cooperative Packing Company, which formed under a strongly worded state law encouraging cooperatives. Prior to the cooperative's opening two years ago, in 1917, Madison-area farmers had no choice but to sell their pigs and cattle to the Chicago beer trusts. Response to the cooperative was enthusiastic -- 5,000 area farmers bought nearly 600,000 dollars of stock in the new enterprise. The nation had only two other farm-owned cooperative packing plants, both in Wisconsin. But faced with mounting wages and operating losses, and no real prospect of new capital, the cooperative was forced to sell the plant to the Chicago firm, Oscar F. Mayer & Brother.

is the tune arranged by Jim Guiffre with Serge Chaloff on baritone

this so unique is not the four together, but the arrangement with the lead in the trombone section? A jazz classic.
