COLOR GUIDE FOR CCI USERS

We started with a South Florida color palette.

Most colors were designed to print on only two plates to keep the printing clean and in register.

We found typography that gives the paper an informal contemporary voice.

A historic Wall Street investmentbank, Lehman Brothers, vanishedinto bankruptcy Monday. MerrillLynch, one of its best known broker-ages, was merged with Bank ofAmerica. American InternationalGroup, the world’s largest insurancecompany, teetered on the brink.

Investors around the globe sentstocks tumbling on fears that thefinancial panic is not yet over. TheDow Jones Industrial Average fell504.48 points, or 4.4 percent, to closeat 10,917.51, its lowest point sincemid-July

“I feel very, very bad for all thepeople losing all this money,” saidFred Savlowitz. He’s a Boca Ratonretiree who has lost a substantialsum since last week on his invest-ment in Fannie Mae and FreddieMac, which were taken over by thegovernment last week. “The govern-ment’s bailing out the major corpora-tions, but it is the small investors whoare getting hurt,” Savlowitz said.

With bombshell after bombshellcoming their way, how much morebad news can investors handle? Andhow should they respond?

Investment pros, as a group, urgeno swift changes in course, despitethe extraordinary market turmoil of

the past six months. The risk of in-vesting is something they say youshould factor into your decisions onwhether to be in stocks at all, howmuch to invest and whether the riskswill keep you awake at night.

“We’ve never made money sellinginto fear and panic,” said Alan Bern-stein, president of StratigraphicAsset Management, a Miami firmthat manages $150 million.

If you’ve reached your limit ofmarket worry, a better course ofaction than selling now would be towait for a rebound, when you canstart gradually shifting money toplaces that make you feel more com-fortable, said David Norris, seniorvice president of Oaktree Asset Man-agement in Boca Raton. The firmmanages about $320 million.

Stocks tanked Tuesday as rattled investors fled for safer shores — if they could find

them. » By the end of its nerve-racking ride, the Dow Jones industrial average had

plummeted 449 points, to its lowest point in almost three years. The thrashing came

despite the government’s $85 billion bailout of insurance giant AIG. Just two days

earlier, the Dow plunged 504 points in response to Lehman Brothers Holdings filing for

bankruptcy. » Investors were shaken further by news that the nation’s oldest

money-market fund fell below a key safety benchmark. » Your Money, page 1

More than four in 10 peoplehave moved their moneyfrom one financial institu-tion to another in the pastmonth because of reportsabout ailing banks, accord-ing to a new telephone pollof 600 likely Florida voters.

The poll, conducted Mon-day through Wednesday forthe Sun Sentinel and FloridaTimes-Union, revealed that43 percent of respondentsfelt they were better off find-ing new banks after a spateof failures in the financialservices industry this year.

“It’s not surprising,” Mi-ami-based economist andbanking analyst Ken Thom-as said Thursday. “It’s allabout confidence right now.We’ve had an entire year’sworth — maybe even a dec-ade’s worth — of bad eco-nomic news happen just inthe past 30 days.”

The statewide poll, man-aged by the independentfirm Research 2000, also ad-dressed the broader U.S.economic meltdown.

More than seven in 10 re-spondents described the na-tion’s financial situation as acrisis and many blamed in-vestors and bank executivesfor the turmoil.

Thirteen banks nation-wide have failed in 2008, ac-cording to the Federal De-posit Insurance Corp. Ana-

In the decade since it opened, BankAt-lantic Center has taken in hundreds ofmillions of dollars on everything frompro hockey to mixed martial arts.

It made next to nothing for its owner.Broward County, which underwrote

the $185 million arena, has receivedjust $346,000 in profits. It made no prof-it last year and isn’t expecting one thisyear.

But that’s fine, according to somecivic leaders.

Revenue from the 20,000-seat Sun-rise arena, which will host the FloridaPanthers’ 2008-09 home opener on Sat-

urday, helps promote tourism and re-store area beaches. And as the largestvenue in Broward, the arena brings abevy of entertainment options to resi-dents.

“It was a moment in time. The monieswere available. The hoteliers came tothe county commission and said ‘Weare OK with you taxing us; we think itwill be good for tourism.’ Absent that, itwouldn’t have happened,” said CountyCommissioner John Rodstrom, a pro-ponent of the arena’s financing pack-age. “We never intended for it to be arevenue generator.”

How can state leaders shrink Flori-da’s state-backed home insurerwhich has become a behemoth?

That’s the question the CitizensProperty Insurance Corp. MissionReview Task Force will start ex-ploring at its first meeting today inTampa.

State legislators created the taskforce this year as a first step to re-turn Citizens to its original purposeof being an insurer of last resort forFlorida property owners. Thegroup is expected to report its find-ings and recommendations to Gov.Charlie Crist and House and Sen-ate leaders by Jan. 31.

The task force — comprised ofinsurance industry executives,consumer advocates and stateleaders appointed by Crist andother state officials — will identifythings that triggered Citizens’ bal-looning to the state’s largest prop-erty insurer with nearly 1.2 millionpolicies and come up with ways torevamp the state insurer.

HOPES RISE FOR BAILOUT

WAR OF WORDSIn their first face-to-face clash, John McCain goes on the offensive early and Barack Obama fires back aggressively on Iraq, taxes and spending

JIM BOURG, POOL PHOTO

McCain: Never mentioned Florida, but seemed to ad-dress its Jewish voters by blasting Obama’s statementthat he would meet with Iran’s president without pre-conditions. “What Senator Obama doesn’t seem tounderstand that if without preconditions you sit downacross the table from someone who has called Israel a‘stinking corpse,’ and wants to destroy that country andwipe it off the map, you legitimize those comments.”

Obama: Addressed offshore oil drilling, an issue ofspecial interest to Floridians because of their concernsabout preserving clean water and beaches. “We can’tsimply drill our way out of the problem. What we’regoing to have to do is to approach it [energy independ-ence] through alternative energy, like solar and wind,and biodiesel, and, yes, nuclear energy, clean-coal tech-nology.”

Rambling and re-petitive about his bipartisanship and budget cutting.Despite invitation by moderator Jim Lehrer to speakdirectly to Obama, addressed most remarks directly tocamera.

Obama: Exuded confidence most of the night, speakingdirectly to McCain, forcing him to play defense. Avoidedtendency to be long-winded and wonkish.

McCain: Compared Obama to President Bush by sayingthey both had stubbornly refused at first to see the val-ue of sending more troops to Iraq to stabilize that coun-try. McCain tried throughout the debate to distancehimself from the unpopular president and audaciouslysuggested that Obama shared Bush’s bad judgment.

Obama: Thrust on the defensive through much of thedebate, he said again and again that he agreed withMcCain on many matters, including the need to curbpork-barrel spending. “But the fact is that eliminatingearmarks alone is not a recipe for how we’re going toget the middle class back on track.”

Blanca Rosa Marmol, a justice in Venezuela's highest court

By Mark LeibovichASSOCIATED PRESS

While the Democratic Party was flirt-ing with civil war, Sen. Hillary Clinton spent her weekend in the relative fun and frolic of the Caribbean.

She danced to funky reggae on Fri-day night and spent the better part of Saturday rolling through dense neigh-borhoods for six straight hours while waving, blowing kisses and bobbing to songs blaring from a 15-foot-high sound truck.

She broke from her regimen only to take phone calls from Harold Ickes, her point man in negotiations over the disputed Michigan and Florida delega-tions that were in the process of degen-erating, on live television, in Washing-ton.

“For me, it was a totally entrancing experience,” Clinton said of the cara-van on Sunday. The caravan was also a tidy reflection of the primary campaign itself: loud, winding and seemingly end-less. And Clinton was determined to

keep rolling to the end as if she were on the precise course she had set for herself.

Last year at this time, “inevitability” was the watchword for Clinton’s appar-ent electoral juggernaut. Recent days have brought a different flavor of inevi-tability, that something is about to end.

They have been difficult days for Clinton, friends and advisers say, though not without a measure of defi-ant pride, satisfaction and gratitude as she concludes her primary march. She split much of last week between Puerto Rico and South Dakota, which holds the last primary, along with Montana, today.

Late last week, before taking off from Rapid City, S.D., Clinton wandered to the back of her campaign plane and held forth for the last smattering of her traveling media chroniclers. She spoke of the virtue of “finishing the job,” a guiding principle through her career, whether in the context of staying in this presidential race, sticking with her marriage or outlasting her political ad-

versaries.“I feel really good about going

through the weekend,” Clinton said, which was about as far into the future as she would indulge anyone. “I feel good because so many people react to my having stayed,” she said in an inter-view in San Juan on Sunday, mention-ing that she had just met a basketball coach on a rope line in Rapid City who thanked her for setting a good example for her team by not quitting until the final whistle.

Publicly, Clinton and her staff have been denying that their fight for the nomination was ending; privately, how-ever, staff members were discussing plans for after today, engaging in gal-lows humor (with one dubbing Puerto Rico the campaign’s Fantasy Island) and acknowledging the obvious.

She planned to give her post-primary speech in New York tonight, a rare de-parture from the campaign trail.

Signs of the end?There were signs Monday that Clin-ton was moving to wrap up her race for the presidency. Former Presi-dent Clinton in Milbank, S.D. fueled the speculation. “I want to say also that this may be the last day I’m ever involved in a campaign of this kind,” he said.

McCain criticizes Obama on IranMcCain raised the specter of a nuclear Iran in a speech to a pro-Israel group in Washington D.C., once again chastising Obama for his willingness to meet with leaders of Iran and other U.S. foes.

The new intelligence lawThe new law, which took effect last week, requires all Venezuelans and foreigners in the country to comply with requests for information from the agencies, whose secret police and community-monitoring groups are loyal to Chavez.

The thunderclaps and lightningflashes of Victor Frankenstein’slaboratory seem far removed fromthe sunshine, hotels and snorkelersof the South Florida coast.

But the town of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is pursuing the dream of us-ing electricity to help generate life.

The town plans to install a clusterof electrified artificial reefs off thebeach and run a low-voltage cur-

rent through steel frames to stimu-late the growth of corals, creatinghabitat for fish, crabs and other ma-rine creatures. Shaped like airplanehangars, the six undersea struc-tures each would stretch 6 feetalong the ocean floor. Two buoyswith solar panels would deliverelectricity through insulated cables.

Coral reefs, often called the rainforests of the ocean, have been bat-tered by global warming, pollution,overfishing and ship groundings.Hoping to reinvigorate its reefs,

Lauderdale-by-the-Sea has ap-proved a $60,000 contract withGlobal Coral Reef Alliance of Cam-bridge, Mass., which has con-structed electrified reefs in Mexico,Jamaica, Indonesia, the Maldivesand other countries.

The electric current, too weak toharm swimmers or fish, draws dis-solved calcium carbonate and otherminerals from seawater, helpingcorals build their skeletons.

NURI DUCASSI, SUN SENTINEL SOURCE: KEN CHRISTENSEN

When Midwesterner Ken Christensen came to Florida, hemoved into a house with a pool and was baffled.

Christensen, author of the Romantic America series oftravel books that focused on romantic places to stay, was acreative guy. Chemistry was never his forte.

Blindly, he brought his water samples to the pool store,they told him what to do and he did it.

But the Sept. 11 tragedy’s impact on tourism, combinedwith wife Cindy’s ovarian cancer diagnosis, caused him torefocus his life. In 2004, he took a job as a pool technician

and learned swimming pool chemistry wasn’t brain surgery.After Cindy died, a friend suggested he write a book. The

result was I Love My Pool! (Romantic America, $19.95).“The purpose was to make it very simple so people could

understand how easy it is to take care of a pool,” said Chris-tensen, who lives in Melbourne.

Here is his take on pool care.

How much can you save by caring for your own pool?It costs about $1,200 a year for a pool service. Your chemi-

cals should cost about $30 a month. That means you could

BY THE NUMBERS

Fantasy FootballWith the NFL season kicking offThursday, Challenger, Gray &Christmas is estimating fantasyfootball players could cost em-ployers nearly $10.5 billion in pro-ductivity during the season.

The Chicago outplacement firmmeasured estimates of 13.6 millionfantasy players against an averagewage of $38 an hour and 1.19 hours aweek managing teams. But the firm

encourages embracing the hobby.“An across-the-board ban on all fan-

tasy football or sports Web sites couldbackfire in the form of reduced morale and

loyalty,” firm CEO John Challenger said.“The result could be far worse than the loss of

productivity caused by 10 to 20 minutes ofteam management each day.”

When Jen Vargas was suddenly laid off from her jobas a senior administrative assistant at Universal Or-lando in June, the 30-year-old woman’s resume wasout of date and she had no active job prospects.

But she did have one advantage: She’s a member ofthe networking sites LinkedIn.com and Facebook-.com.

“People who I wasn’t directly associated with atwork, or who worked in neighboring departments,are the ones who sent me job leads,” said Vargas, who

is still looking for work. With work-place issues a focus on this LaborDay, such sites have become vitaltools in the search for a new job. Asmore people get fired, switch ca-reers or worry about losing theirjobs in today’s struggling economy,networking sites are becoming somuch more than just places to postphotos and connect with old collegebuddies.

Like Vargas, Carla Parks joinedFacebook and LinkedIn because

they were the Web sites du jour, notbecause she thought it would helpher career.

“It was nice to have, but it waskind of a second thought,” saidParks, 34, of Winter Park. “I thoughtit was a neat tool to keep in touchwith people, but it definitely wasn’t afocus.”

Now Parks lists the Web addressof her LinkedIn profile on her re-sume and checks the site regularlyas she looks for work. She left her

job as head of public relations for aLongwood advertising agency at theend of June when the agency sold itsPR accounts. It’s the first time in fiveyears that she has been job hunting.

“It was completely different then,”said Parks, who hasn’t landed a jobyet. “The biggest electronic compo-nents were looking on CareerBuil-der.com, Monster.com and using e-mail as a follow-up.”

The first sign that something was wrong seemed harmless: Anew Dell credit card arrived in my mail one afternoon.

More landed in the mailbox the next day. Macy’s. Bloomingdale’s. Crate and Barrel. Radio Shack.

Then later: Visa Sony, Toys R Us and Lowe’s cards turned up. I didn’t request any of these cards. My first call to Dell re-

vealed what I suspected.Someone had applied for a credit card using my name.I felt violated and vulnerable. Then, it hit me: I’ve become a

statistic, a victim of identity theft.A thief had taken my name, my credit and my identity and

managed to spend more than $8,000 (money that, I’m grateful,I didn’t have to pay).

I still don’t know who the culprit was or how it happened. All I know is that if this happened to me — a Sun Sentinel

consumer affairs and watchdog reporter — it can happen toanybody.

And the golf in Las Vegas is nearly as renowned asits gambling and partying. Although there are a fewcourses on the Strip (Wynn, Hilton and MandalayBay), most are within a 30-minute ride. To play someof the top courses (where you’ll pay top greens fees)in Las Vegas, you need to be a guest of the hotel com-pany that owns it.

What if your car spit out a report to the police depart-ment every time you hit 81 miles an hour?

To the chagrin of its police officers, the city of FortLauderdale is using satellite car-locaters in patrolcars to watch for speeding. Any officer driving fasterthan 80 — whether on duty or off — is busted.

Since the monitoring began a year ago, 29 officershave been written up or disciplined for speeding, ac-cording to city records. Some officers were caughtdriving faster than 90 mph, even while off duty, andone was nailed for speeding 30 times.

Law enforcement agencies across South Floridaand the country use vehicle-locaters in police cars tohelp dispatchers find the closest officer to send tocalls, or to find officers who might be in danger if theycan’t be reached on radio. But Fort Lauderdale may beunique in using it to monitor speed.

Internal affairs workers sift through the reports to

Busted for speedingIn the past year, Fort Lauderdale records show the following officers wereamong those counseled or disciplined for driving faster than 80 mph whilenot on an emergency call:

Alexander Griss, fired in August2007 after being charged with ve-hicular homicide in the death ofpedestrian Althea McKay. Investi-gators estimated he was driving 79mph at the time, while the globalpositioning device reported he wasdriving 91. It also reported 15 in-stances in the month before theaccident of Griss driving faster than110, mostly on interstates. Hereached 118 twice on Interstate595 and 114 once on State RoadA1A, where the speed limit is 30 to35, those records showed.

William Lauginiger, given letter ofreprimand for speeding faster than90 mph in May 2007, then sus-pended one day in June this yearfor driving faster than 80 while onduty on 10 dates from February toApril. He retired in July.

Jacqueline Sanchez, counseledin April for driving faster than 80mph and given letter of reprimandin June for speeding off duty.

David Santiago, counseled fordriving faster than 90 mph in Janu-ary, then counseled in April andagain in June for driving faster than80.

Wesley Taylor, sped faster than90 mph on 10 occasions and wasgiven a counseling slip in January.In June, he got a letter of repri-mand because he exceeded 80 on20 dates in February and March, allwhile off duty.

Dianna Zimmerman, got counsel-ing slip in January for driving fasterthan 90 mph and again in April fortraveling faster than 80.

The policy“Officers operating personallyassigned vehicles while on or offduty shall operate the vehicle in amanner consistent with all applica-ble traffic laws and regulations.

Under normal non-emergencyoperating conditions and whileresponding to routine ‘Code 1’ callsfor service, employees of the FLPDwill strictly adhere to all trafficlaws and drive defensively in a safeand courteous manner.”

Real estate ads these days include listing after listingof bargain-basement prices. But those who buy ahome in a foreclosure or a pre-foreclosure saleshould know that future property bills may be no bar-gain.

Just because someone snags a home at a low pricedoesn’t mean the tax bill will tumble. Property taxescould be as high as ever.

Foreclosures and short sales — in which lenderstake less than what is owed on the mortgage and for-give part or all of the remaining debt to avoid foreclo-

sure — represent a large share of the real estate mar-ket in Broward and Palm Beach counties as moreowners are unable to keep up with mortgage pay-ments. But that doesn’t matter when local propertyappraiser offices draw up the tax rolls.

In fact, state regulations bar counties from factor-ing in foreclosures and other distressed sales inwhich the seller is forced to accept less money thanthe market price. Appraisers and some real estateagents worry unsuspecting buyers will expect a taxwindfall.

THE HATE-O-METER

Michael Cunningham is The Hater. Here’s his guide to who and what should be hated on in sports this week.

» Mild aggravation » Moderate contempt » Hardcore hate

BRETT FAVRE’S COMMERCIAL »

Yes, the one with guys in jeans playing something resembling football. The ad is annoying but keeps hanging around though The Hater wish-es it would go away. Sort of like Favre.

THE HATER’S OLE MISS- FLORIDA COLUMN

It sounded too much like real hate and not the fun kind practiced by The Hater’s role model, Silky

Johnson. It’s never personal with The Hater,

who serves penance with some deserved self-hate.

O.J. SIMPSON’SCONVICTIONS

Why would you ever get yourself in front of a jury again, Juice? The Hater could have told you about the O.J.-angst in his hate mail any time he writes about race. Now he must convict you for chronic stupidity.

KIMBO SLICE’S LOSS TO PINK-HAIRED DUDE

This was so bad that you can hate on Kimbo with-out even mentioning those Web pictures of Seth Petruzelli looking like Dr. Frank-N-Furter. How did Kimbo let Goldust beat him down like that?

»

You don’t start with Randy Shan-non or Patrick Nix or the dualquarterback system. You don’tstart with that 12th man on the fieldwho changed everything Saturdayor the successive home losses inwhat could become another longautumn at the University of Miami.

You start by asking a NFL scouthow many Miami players will bedrafted next spring.

“They’ll probably be shut out,”he said Tuesday.

Shut out of the first round?“Shut out, period,” he said. “No-

body off that team is probably go-ing to get picked. They just don’thave anyone that I want to take achance on.”

If it happens, it would be a first at

Miami since — get this — Nixonwas president. The spring of 1974.You could argue it should be 1980since Miami only had a 12th-roundpick that year and the draft onlygoes seven rounds today.

Whatever you pick, 1974 or

INSIDER PERSPECTIVEBarack Obama’s younger sister remembers visiting a bakery with her mom and brother, knowing they’d be given free

coconut bread when there wasn’t much food at home. One of John McCain’s fellow prisoners of war recalls the vigorous

political discussions held under the watchfulness of their Vietnamese captors. Maya Soetoro-Ng and Bud Day walked

with the presidential candidates through some of the roughest patches of their lives. See how those experiences — and

others — shaped the candidates’ personalities, priorities and politics. » Pages 2, 3

In a little less than three weeks,the nation’s financial system hasbeen torn apart.

With shocking speed, WallStreet watched its major invest-ment banks fail or turn them-selves into commercial banks.Stocks tumbled. The governmenttook over Fannie Mae, FreddieMac and the insurance giant AIG.The largest bank failure in history,Washington Mutual, happenedFriday.

Yet economists say that the bail-out Congress is debating, no mat-ter how many billions are spent torescue banks, won’t re-float thesinking U.S. economy or substan-

tially fix the housing and creditproblems that have hit South Flor-ida particularly hard.

“I actually think that the finan-cial crisis has taken attentionaway from the overall economy,”said Senior Economist Mark Vitn-er of Wachovia Securities. “Thathas deteriorated significantly inthe last 30 to 60 days.”

Even before Congress settles onwhat its terms will be, the propos-als have generated plenty of out-rage.

“I know the $700 billion bailoutis very important to keep the econ-omy rolling,” said Bertram Lieber-man, 66, of Delray Beach. “But Ihope they protect the people. I

Outlook

To drill or not to drill. That’s one pivotalquestion facing voters in the presidentialelection.

Their decision Nov. 4 will shape the na-tion’s energy policy for at least four years byelecting John McCain, a recent advocate foroil and gas drilling offshore, or Barack Oba-ma, who opposes it unless it’s paired withconservation and alternative fuel plans.

The stunning rise in gasoline prices overthe summer to more than $4 a gallon shookconsumers and dramatically shifted the en-ergy debate toward boosting domestic pro-duction of fossil fuels. Even so, most energyexperts contend more drilling would not re-duce fuel prices.

McCain, once an opponent of drilling insensitive environments, suddenly em-braced this cause and turned it into a majorcampaign issue.

Obama, thrust on the defensive, remainsopposed but is compelled to compromise.

The focus is on Florida — specifically, theshallow waters off its west coast — becausethat’s where the energy companies mostwant to tap large deposits of natural gas,plus some oil. President Bush and manyCongress members want to exploit this re-source to boost domestic supplies and re-duce the nation’s dependence on foreignsources.

Everyone knows about California wine, but here are three great areas that have been kept bottled up.

Pulling it off

Be inclusive. Inviting feedback from the whole staff generates buy in as well as ideas.

Get help. Take advantage of whatever professional help you can afford, even if it’s just advice.

Set a reasonable timeframe. Execution in some editorial systems can take longer than you think.

Have courage. There will always be resistance to change, even long after your launch. Don’t chicken out.

Listen and adjust. Don’t stop. Continue to perfect and evolve.
