The city of St. Charles began the public hearing process to renew Charter Communications' cable franchise agreement Tuesday evening during its City Council meeting. But no competing cable providers, such as AT&T, are expected to come forward to form their own agreement.

At the time the Nauvoo Charter was passed, a new state capitol building was being used for state business even though it had not been completed. Seen here is a reconstruction of the Old State Capitol, the fifth statehouse in Illinois and first in Springfield. It served as the seat of Illinois state government from 1839 to 1876.
The Nauvoo Charter was, in essence, authorization to franchise the city of Nauvoo, as had been done with several other cities in the state. It was introduced to Illinois legislators on Nov. 27, 1840.

Intangible assets facilitate insurers' capacity to retain existing business and attract new clients. In this study we analyze how the incentives to protect intangible assets affect asset risk-taking behavior of property and liability insurers.

Consistent with the view that highly levered firms may go for broke, asset risk of highly levered insurers is less elastic to intangible assets than that of lower-levered insurers. An additional notable finding of our article is that tangible factors like firm size and capitalization increase insurers' appetites for asset risk taking.

The Ohio Valley Redcoats' traveling baseball show rolls back into Lafayette, Ind., today.
A scheduled three-game series between the Redcoats and Evansville Otters will offer fans in Tippecanoe County a second chance to show they can support a Frontier League ballclub. Otherwise, folks in Lorain, Ohio, may have the edge in landing the franchise, a charter member of the independent league that has moved around a lot during the past eight years -- from Parkersburg, W.Va., to Huntingburg, Ind., and then to Kenosha, Wis., and Ozark, Mo.

The Colorado Springs Sky Sox have always maintained the origin of the franchise dates to 1918 with the Sacramento Solons. New research by the Pacific Coast League, however, indicates the franchise could be a charter member of the league.
According to PCL media relations director Steve Hurlbert, the Sky Sox franchise likely began in Portland in 1903, along with five other charter members of the league -- Los Angeles, Sacramento (which transferred to Tacoma in 1904), Oakland, San Francisco and Seattle.
