The Annex bookstore sells a variety of books about the Caribbean African and Latin American cultures that are written by local and international authors of those same backgrounds. Co owned by husband and wife team Itah Sadu and Miguel San Vicente Sadu said when they purchased the bookstore years ago they mainly sold academic literature. Today they ve maintained that as well as expanded their inventory. There are books for everybody from children s to adults whether you re two or you re Sadu said. A children s author herself publishing her first book in the couple sells a range of books for teens and adults including cultural and historical stories classics poetry and children s books. My interest in participation purchasing the store was in children s literature so we expanded on that and in our relationships with the schools and education Sadu said. Because Sadu said she feels it s important to give back a large part of their philosophy at A Different Booklist is outreach to the community. Throughout the year they participate in a variety of programming with education being high on their priority list. Besides donating books to school libraries Sadu said local and international school groups often visit to interact with authors of their favourite books or to interact with stars such as actor Mario Van Peebles who recently stopped by the bookstore. Some Grade and s came to see him here and he spent half the day with them Sadu said. He was so engaging and had conversations with them and more importantly wanted to know about them. The bookstore also supports local and international authors from Africa to Jamaica by hosting book launches. Sadu said she hopes to inspire people to read Caribbean literature from a variety of authors because oftentimes people end up reading only American literature. When Americans come into the store they comment on diversity and the range of voices from different areas of the world people from the continent say that too she said. Sadu said her customers are like family and people don t just come to shop they bring their families and visitors from outside the city. She said it s also a community meeting place where people can get information. People come in and want to know what s happening in the city. They ask How can you connect me to this And then people also bring visitors . from the States people bring their youth groups she said. June Lewis is one of those people who happened upon A Different Booklist about six years ago when she had a problem regarding her daughter Shaye s reading level. The teacher wasn t impressed at the fact that she was reading chapter books and it got me really upset because they were saying she didn t understand a lot of the words she was reading and they thought it was too advanced for her Lewis said. Looking for some outside advice Lewis went to her favourite bookstore only to find it wasn t there anymore and instead came across A Different Booklist. I spoke to Itah to get some feedback about the problem and see if anyone else in the community was having that problem she said. There were also a couple of teachers that happened to be there and they gave me feedback as well. Not only did she come out of there feeling encouraged Lewis said she was also inspired. It motivated me even more to continue on the path that I was on with my daughter and there was nothing wrong with the level she was reading at she said. From then on going to A Different Booklist became Lewis and Shaye s Saturday adventure and they spent hours reading books and buying their favourites. Recently moving to Etobicoke Lewis said they still visit the bookstore often and recommends it to others. When parents tell me their kids don t like to read I tell them go to the bookstore and I tell them the books to look for she said. That word of mouth praise from their patrons has even reached celebrity ears. We ve seen the likes of Queen Latifah Shaquille O Neal Johnny Cochrane . it s one of the fringe benefits of owning a bookstore Sadu said. With the Internet many people turn to the computer rather than go to a bookstore but Sadu said there is room for both and a bookstore can offer something a computer can never replace. It s a centre of engagement where people come in to explore ideas or talk about concepts and it becomes a university and a speaker s corner of expression she said. Sadu also said A Different Booklist is a place of inclusion where everyone is welcome. It s important to convey that this is a store that s open to all people.it s all people and we re proud about that.

The Atlanta based bank awarded James M. Wells III million in base salary and in non equity incentive plan compensation. Wells who has served as president and CEO since January also received option awards valued at . million on the days they were granted and in above market earnings on deferred compensation. Additionally SunTrust awarded Wells in the all other compensation category which included financial planning services use of company aircraft club memberships and k matching contributions. The AP s total pay calculations include executives salary bonus incentives perks above market returns on deferred compensation and the estimated value of stock options and awards granted during the year. The calculations don t include changes in the present value of pension benefits and they sometimes differ from the totals companies list in the summary compensation table of proxy statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. According to SunTrust s proxy filing executive compensation is tied almost entirely to corporate performance. The compensation committee annually reviews a select group of peer companies including Bank of America Corp. Fifth Third Bancorp KeyCorp and Wachovia Corp. as well as the broader financial services industry to ensure it continues to offer competitive compensation. During the fourth quarter SunTrust recorded a million loss tied to the purchase of securities from money market funds managed by a subsidiary and from structured investment vehicles. SunTrust purchased the securities because of the lack of an active debt market. As delinquencies and defaults among loans especially mortgages have increased investors have shied away from buying securities backed by the trouble loans. That has forced banks to reduce the value of the securities. Instead of recording a loss in the investment funds SunTrust purchased the securities at actual value and then recorded the losses on its own books. SunTrust also recorded million in write downs tied to other securities and mortgages. For the full year SunTrust earned . billion or . per share down from . billion or . per share in . Last week the company said Wells will assume the role of chairman at the company s annual meeting April replacing L. Phillip Humann who has been executive chairman since January . Humann served as SunTrust s chairman president and CEO for nine years. In he received compensation valued at million according to AP calculations. He will remain with the company for one year as a consultant before retiring in . As of Sept. SunTrust had total assets of . billion. It operates more than branches in Alabama Arkansas Florida Georgia Maryland Mississippi North Carolina South Carolina Tennessee Virginia West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
