He's the success story of the decade, for my generation anyway: Jesse Thomas, 25 years old, with what seems like a lifetime of experience. "Everyone says I talk and act like I'm 35 -- or 45," he said. A typical email from him goes something like this: I was just exhibiting at Artomatic in Arlington all May.. http://www.flickr.com/photos/22024929@N00/470801472/ I got accepted to this Cuba poster design challenge thing thru AIGA.

SBA Deadline to Apply for Economic Injury Disaster Loans is December 26, 2007
The U.S. Small Business Administration is reminding businesses in Broward, Collier, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties in the State of Florida that Economic Injury Disaster Loans are still available to small businesses economically impacted by the fire November 19, 2006 at the strip mall located at 1890 SW 8th Street, Miami, Florida. "Small businesses that suffered economic losses as a result of the disaster and want to apply for low-interest loans from the SBA are urged to do so before the December 26 deadline," said Frank Skaggs, Director of SBA Field Operations Center East. Small businesses may apply for loans up to $l.5 million if they suffered substantial economic injury from the disaster. These working capital loans may be used to pay fixed debts, payroll, accounts payable, and other bills that could have been paid had the disaster not occurred.
Hillary Clinton's Radical Summer
OAKLAND, Calif. � In a life marked largely by political caution, one entry on Senator Clinton's r�sum� stands out: her clerkship in 1971 at one of America's most radical law firms, Treuhaft, Walker and Burnstein. One partner at the firm, Doris Walker, was a Communist Party member at the time. Another partner, Robert Treuhaft, had left the party in 1958, several years after being called before the House Un-American Activities Committee and labeled as one of America's most "dangerously subversive" lawyers. The Oakland-based firm was renowned for taking clients others rejected as too controversial, including Communists, draft resisters, and members of the African-American militant group known as the Black Panthers. To this day, Mrs. Clinton's decision to work at the unabashedly left-wing firm is surprising, even shocking, to some of her former colleagues there and to those supporting her bid for the presidency.
