The company also is in talks withbondholders about a debt for equity swap, the source said. But the source in the bondholders’ group said manybondholders were pursuing a “debt for new debt” exchange andthat a debt for equity exchange was not a real consideration. CIT is in search of $2 billion to $3 billion of financing,according to the source, who declined to be identified becausethe talks were private. “They haven’t thrown the towel, and they still are tryingto work very hard to get some sort of funding, but at the endof the day I still think that there is a very high risk of abankruptcy event,” said Sameer Gokhale, an analyst at KBW.

Bankruptcy, however, is still possible over the next fewdays, and CIT, a 101-year-old lender that services nearly onemillion small- and mid-sized businesses, is continuing to talkwith regulators about the situation, the source said. * CIT turns to JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs for financing Stocks  |  Mergers & Acquisitions  |  Funds News  |  ETFs News  |  France  |  Bankruptcy * Bondholders to hold conference call Saturday * Talks turn to DIP financing – reports * CIT shares moderate gains, bonds up (Adds CIT’s removal from S&P 500) By Paritosh Bansal and Jennifer Ablan NEW YORK, July 17 (Reuters) – CIT Group Inc (CIT.N) is intalks with JPMorgan Chase & Co (JPM.N) and Goldman Sachs GroupInc (GS.N) about short-term financing as it looks for ways toavoid bankruptcy, a source close to the company said on Friday,sending the lender’s shares and bonds up.

All of them stand where they do or prospered because they had ready access to the sea or to waterways. How can the history of London be understood without constant reference to the sea? The offices of The Independent are now at Canary Wharf in Docklands, as maritime an address as you could find. Even Birmingham, the least seafaring of places imaginable, is well served with canals.In a marvellous passage in his lecture, Professor Kennedy took as his example the Tyne, where he was brought up. The maritime history he wishes to read – and which he may indeed have to write if nobody answers his call – would observe that on the Tyne the social structure was simple. Apart from the doctor, the schoolteacher and the clergy, everyone was working-class and lived in terrace houses next to the sea. As for politics, Tyneside was first Liberal and then Labour but pacifism never took hold It provided the bedrock for “patriotic Labour”. And in place of Braudel’s remarks about snow, there would be a brief study no doubt of various pub names in Wallsend – The Ship, The Nelson, Trafalgar, The Anson, The Mauretania (built at Wallsend), the Admiral Collingwood (born locally), the Galleon, Admiral Benbow, The Gibraltar Rock and the Victory.History like this – ambitious, intensive, complicated as it would need to be – would undoubtedly be worth writing for its own sake But Professor Kennedy didn’t stop his argument right there.

He went on to say that Britain’s present circumstances reminded him of the 1920s. Then the questions were whether there would ever be a major war again, would there be fighting in Europe or only in “brush-fire” situations overseas, would Britain always have allies in battle and who would the next enemy be: the Bolsheviks, the French, Japan, Germany? And rather than spending money on the nation’s defence, it was also asked 70 years ago, would it not be better to balance the budget, and to invest instead in education and improve the social fabric? These discussions of the 1920s do indeed have a familiar sound today.But today it is much harder to make the case, as Professor Kennedy does, for maintaining or even enhancing our naval power. This is his second reason for having a proper maritime history – it would help the argument for a big navy At this point I part company. Since the Second World War, the United Kingdom has spent a significantly higher proportion of her national wealth on defence than most other comparable industrialised nations. We do it out of habit, because it has bought us a bit of influence and because military tasks are something we are good at.

These are not convincing reasons for spending much more on defence than similar countries do. I am sure that the nation has been literally poorer as a result. Let us have a full account of Britain’s maritime past; let it be well taught in schools and universities But let us also accept that those days have finally gone.. Tower blocks may be a thing of the past, but tragically most of the disastrous mistakes of 1960s social housing have been made all over again this decade. Despite so much evidence, the human and social lessons of the past have been ignored. How do you make a housing estate work? It is a fascinating human puzzle that excites social engineers. How can these artificial “communities” of the poor be made bearable? The evidence was all there, had they chosen to heed it.
The Government, loathing local authorities, put its faith in housing associations.

But several reports – one from the Audit Commission, another from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation – show they have now created another generation of human dust-heaps. How did it happen?Trying to kickstart the housing market, under intense pressure from building contractors stuck with unsaleable private houses, in November 1992 Norman Lamont suddenly released a lot of money for housing associations to buy off-the-peg private estates. The catch was, they had to borrow half the money and they had to spend it all within four months It is hard to imagine a better recipe for disaster. In those four months, 18,433 units of social housing were acquired.

The Beatles and Rolling Stones were well-known for the quality of their B-sides, but more recent bands have produced similar efforts. I can think of flipsides from The Jam and The Beat to Rancid and Weezer, which easily match the A-side. It is therefore, easy to re-discover all those brilliant B-sides you’d forgotten all about. Better to have a combination of favourites and also-rans which you may not play all the time, but which you never tire of either. Another point to remember is that some records are more suited to juke-boxes than others, in the same way that some records work at parties while others don’t Take Rod Stewart, for example He has a great juke-box voice. “Maggie May”, yes, but “Do You Think I’m Sexy?”, probably not. Records like “Maggie May”, of course, have the advantage of being double A-sides, so you can flip over to the equally good “Reason to Believe”, if the mood takes you Which leads me to my third point: don’t forget the B-sides.

A lot of people can’t be bothered to turn records over to see what is on the other side, but when you’ve got a juke-box the machine does it for you. Play a record too many times and you might get sick of it for ever. By loading too many favourites in the rack you risk having too rich a mixture. You have only got to switch on the telly these days and you are more than likely to hear one of these tunes accompanying some commercial or other. The trouble with a lot of these classics is that they are heard so often there is a danger of overkill. Anyone who already owns a juke-box will tell you it is hard to resist pushing the buttons every time you walk past. How to load a juke-box.

Sounds easy doesn’t it? If you are lucky enough to have recently acquired a juke-box, or have always dreamed of owning one, then you might think that all you’ve got to do is load up with your favourite 50 or 100 singles and you’re ready to go, right?

Wrong I’m afraid it is not quite as simple as that. Choosing records for your juke-box requires careful consideration as there are pitfalls for the unwary. So, to avoid disappointment, you may find the following short guide useful.
To start with, you’ll probably be tempted to include certain “pop classics”. Records like “When a Man Loves a Woman”, “Layla” and “Alright Now” spring to mind But think again.
