Hedge markets for executives and corporate agency
This paper analyzes the implications of executive hedge markets for firm value maximization in an optimal contracting framework. The main results are as follows: Without any hedging ability, the manager underinvests in risk at the firm level to diversify his own compensation risk. If the manager can trade a security correlated with firm specific risk, the underinvestment in risk is reduced, optimal managerial share ownership and equilibrium effort increase. If the manager can hedge by simulating the sale of his shares, however, he can completely undo any incentive scheme. The model predicts that a higher degree of financial market development implies higher managerial share ownership and more efficient risk taking at the firm level.Download Info

Degas's Dancers at the Barre: Point and Counterpoint
(Oct 1, 2011–Jan 8, 2012)
Exhibition curator Eliza Rathbone discusses Degas's Dancers at the Barre: Point and Counterpoint.
Edgar Degas (1834–1917) was fascinated by the world of ballet. Bringing together about 30 paintings, works on paper, and sculptures from some of the world's finest collections, the exhibition traces ballet in Degas's art from the 1870s to 1900. The first exploration of Degas's dancers in Washington, DC, in 25 years, this exhibition celebrates the Phillips's Dancers at the Barre (early 1880s–c. 1900) as a crowning achievement in the artist's four decade career and presents discoveries from its recent conservation. Immersing the visitor in the world of Degas's studio, the exhibition uncovers the intricate process behind this late masterpiece.

Madeline Rogero, Mayor
Officer Honored for Arrest of Bank Robbery Suspects
View Officer Award Winners
View Civilian Award Winners
April 24, 2012
- Knoxville Mayor Madeline Rogero and Police Chief David Rausch today named Officer Benjamin McVay the February Officer of the Month for the Knoxville Police Department. Officer McVay has been with the department since March 2005.
Chief Rausch said that on February 24, 2012, at approximately 1:06 p.m., an individual entered the Community South Bank at 625 S. Gay Street with the intent of robbing the bank. Within minutes officers had responded and established a perimeter of the immediate area. Once a possible description of the suspect was obtained, Officer McVay immediately began a hasty search of the area.
Chief Rausch said, "Officer McVay located the suspect behind a nearby business attempting to enter a vehicle with another individual. Officer McVay was able to quickly ascertain that this was the suspect from the bank even after the suspect had removed his hoodie and sunglasses that were a part of his disguise."
Officer McVay immediately detained both suspects for investigation. In addition, clothing worn during the robbery as well as cash taken from the bank was recovered from the suspects.
Chief Rausch said, "Officer McVay did an outstanding job of canvassing the area and locating two suspects who were working together in the commission of a felony. Due to his quick action two criminals were removed from our community."
Mayor Rogero said, "We appreciate Officer McVay's actions that resulted in the apprehension of two dangerous individuals."

Cockpit Chronicles: How pilots choose their schedules
We had some snow pass through Boston a few hours before departure but the airplane was already de-iced and ready to go by the time we arrived. Since the flight time was over 8 hours for the day, we had a relief co-pilot (FB) on board. Tom was the FB, which meant he would typically do the walk around inspection while I did the interior preflight. I stayed nice and warm while loading the FMS (flight computer that stored our flight plan and works similar to a GPS) and checking the equipment.
The flight down to Santo Domingo went without a hitch. We talked a bit about what trips everyone would be flying in March. For most pilots, there are two dates around the middle of the month that are almost like Christmas. The first is the day our bid sheets come out and the second is the day we get our schedule for the next month. A bid sheet is a print out of every possible schedule we can fly. It shows the trips and the days you'll be flying them. You simply arrange your preferences in the order you want to fly them and hope someone more senior doesn't pick the schedule that you're hoping for.
For those pilots flying the 757 and the 767 internationally from Boston, there are 27 different schedules we can choose that fly four different kinds of trips:
- Turns (one-day trips) – to Saint Thomas, Santo Domingo or Aruba. These high time trips give you the most days off.
- A three-day Barbados – not much flight time, which means you'll fly more days in a month, but the full day on the beach on the second day makes up for that.
- The two-day London – a high time trip that most pilots prefer.
- The three-day Panama City and Caracas – that departs very early the first day and gets back after midnight on the third day.
If you're at the bottom 20%, you're likely to find yourself on reserve, which is like being 'on call.' If someone calls in sick, the company will call you to fly. Usually you find out what you'll be doing the day before. Reserve pilots usually fly less often than a scheduled pilot would and they get paid a flat 90% of a full schedule.
I've been lucky enough to hold a line for the last six months straight, but I was awarded a reserve schedule for next month. Hopefully I'll get called out for a NY or Miami based trip (they often run short of pilots there) to someplace we don't fly to from Boston.
We go to training every nine months, and I'm scheduled to go down for five days of training next month. Of course I'll be writing about that.
As we approached Santo Domingo today, we had our usual challenge in understanding the controllers there. The tower controller was especially difficult to understand. Since the runway is closed for repairs, we're landing on what was formerly the taxiway. Because of this, we had to turn around on the runway to taxi back to the gate. After our runway "U-turn" we were looking straight at a Cessna Caravan a few hundred feet off the ground heading toward us. The Caravan pilot obviously saw us, and I'm sure he just continued his approach until it became completely obvious that the controller's plan wasn't going to work. He went around and lined up again for landing a few minutes later.
Maybe I'll bid around flying to Santo Domingo for a while. With just a little more seniority I should be able to reliably hold the Panama City/Caracas trips. And once you get a schedule, you are free to trade around, which is how I've been able to fly to London and Barbados on occasion.
With your seniority number deciding what trips you fly, what base you fly from, when your vacation occurs and, most importantly, when you will upgrade to captain, you can imagine just how important this number is to pilots. It's so important, in fact, that it can even hold up an airline's merger plans.

Hello Kent,
First off I will like to say I am very happy I found this. I am about to start on the road of becoming a commercial pilot and I find this information on here very valuable, my question to you Kent is a personal one if you don't mind. I always hear that being a pilot is tough on the home life with the family (wife and kids) because you can potentially be are away from home a lot. I was wondering in your opinion even if you are not married how has this affected your life with your family or how have you seen it affect the life of other pilots you know?
Also I was wondering if you have any advice you can give someone like myself who is about to pursue being a pilot. In my case it has been my dream to be a pilot for as long as I have been able to think freely.
Kent Wien Mar 3rd 2008 10:51PM
Hi Darrel,
Just the fact that you're asking the question tells me that you won't have any problem. I'm lucky to be married to someone who was a flight attendant for another airline for a time and who understands the reality of a pilot's job. We're not all out partying with flight attendants, that's for sure. So once that's understood, there's the time away issue...
This can really vary from airline to airline. Corporate pilots at NetJets and ExecJet usually are away for a week, with another week off after that. The same applies to many UPS and FedEx pilots.
Regional airline pilots may have as few as 8 days off to 15, depending on seniority and the airline.
Majors can be all over the place as well. But for the most part, I'd say I'm luckier than most 9 to 5'ers.
I'll email you offline about other advice. Good luck!
Ray Mar 3rd 2008 11:17PM
I have really enjoyed reading your stories. I'm not sure if you have seen the video of the flight in Germany that the plane was nearly sideways. Have you ever had a landing like that?
Kent Wien Mar 3rd 2008 11:31PM
Thanks Ray,
Well, not that was caught on film!
Seriously though, uh, no. Haven't seen that maneuver before.

Rachel Mar 4th 2008 4:41AM
i love this blog! just found it by accident yesterday when looking at footage from the crosswind landing video by lufthansa. i live in geneva so doubt i'll make your flights, but i listen to the transatlantic ones on occasion so maybe i'll hear you!
off topic question - i fly yearly to australia. for the 14 hour leg, is there more than just one "relief" pilot? i always wondered how the crew maintains any stamina in 14 hours of darkness, pretty much.
Kent Wien Mar 4th 2008 9:12AM
Good observation, Rachel.
On the long haul flights (flights that exceed 12 hours) a 4th pilot is needed. Often it's two captains and to first officers (co-pilots), but it can also be one captain and three first officers.
Most of these trips are flown with aircraft that actually have a crew bunk as a rest area as opposed to a first class or business class seat that we get on the 757/767.
Sue Mar 6th 2008 6:30AM
If someone you cared about was starting their career as a flight attendant, what advice would you give them?
Whit Mar 9th 2008 12:19PM
My boyfriend just started work as a pilot and is on reserve. Let me tell you, the schedulers seem hell bent on keeping he and I apart. lol There have been a few times where they've taken days off of the two days a week he has off to add them to other weeks or whatnot. He's a FO right now and enjoys what he's doing, I just hope he gets a route sooner rather than later so I KNOW when I'll be seeing him. lol
I enjoy reading this since i'm just starting to learn about "airline life" from the boyfriend. lol. All sorts of new vocabulary to pick up. lol
757flya Mar 12th 2008 5:22PM
hey kent, i personally would have gone with the 757, ( easier to fly, imo ). you did a good job describing the life of a pilot i am currently a 757 f/o for delta and i am loving it! i will definetly be adding your blog to my favorites.

Good restorable trunk lid for Toronado. I'm fairly sure this is off a 1966 but it may also be from or for a 1967.
A very solid lid with some flaky surface rust on the inside of the rear lip but the metal is solid. These are very rust prone along the rear lip and this one looks like it will blast clean.
I will pack this and ship it so send me an email with your location and I will get you and estimate of the cost.

In this case, brand matters
For a long time, I felt that Waitrose's brown sauce was as good as HP, but much cheaper. However, some time ago I bought a bottle of HP and immediately noticed the difference. So now I'm sticking with the original - and with a bottle of this size the price difference per 100 g is small enough to make it worth it.

Thanks for the hint! I have inserted a disclaimer accordingly.
BR, Fayssal
Thanks Daniel for the hint! It should be rectified now.
Yes there will be!
I have already read the article from Loren. Congratulations for putting this book together!
It's true! And this is stated in the description of the submission. A link to the original document is also included in the references list of the presentation. I submitted this presentation because it is more visually appealing, and it is much lighter to digest than the original document. Does it matter at all? The goal here is that people find these guidelines and adapt them to their programming practices. I also don't see the legend you are talking about, since these are commonly used guidelines in other languages like Java and C++. However, Richard Johnson did a very good job in putting these guidelines together for MATLAB. If you are interested, he even has now published a book on the subject: http://www.amazon.com/Elements-MATLAB-Style-Richard-Johnson/dp/0521732581/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1297535830&sr=1-2
By the way, this presentation is not PowerPoint. It is a Lyx beamer-based presentation.
Please look up the definition of Functional Programming. This has nothing to do with functional programming.
Thank you very much!

In mid-July, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and Greene County Prosecuting Attorney Stephen K. Haller announced the indictment of three individuals for engaging in a tree-trimming theft operation that targeted elderly victims in Greene, Butler, Franklin, and Montgomery Counties.
The indictments were the latest development in a statewide effort to increase the number of consumer protection cases prosecuted criminally.

Jörg Widmann is one of Germany's most distinguished composers and heir to the traditions of Beethoven and Wagner. His concerto, co-commissioned by the SFS and the Berlin Philharmonic, is performed here by Grammy®-winning pianist Yefim Bronfman.

Local teachers rally to demand an end to systematic dismantling of public education
03/04/11 Lisa Marzilli, Beth BellLast Call Friday | Listen to this entire show:
On today's Last Call we spoke with teachers who were attending one of several rallies that took place in Pinellas County on Friday afternoon. They're demanding an end to the defunding and dismantling of public education as well as the scapegoating of teachers that's going on in Florida and across the US.
Florida ranked 37th in average teacher pay for the last school year and is expected to plummet to No. 47 in the nation according to a new report from the National Education Association.

Ron Oberleitner and his family trusted their instincts about his son Robby. At around 15 months of age, Robby gradually started to lose skills he once had. He began avoiding eye contact, preferred to lie under his crib, and lost just about all his speech. "Over the next 22 months, we took Robby to many different doctors and specialists. They ruled out numerous disorders and diseases, but only after enduring sleepless nights, tantrums, and overall confusion in our family, it was a reluctant psychologist who finally helped us confirm Robby had autism," said Ron.

Professionals: A
The campaign hit the ground running with a new season of health care professional conferences for 2007. In addition to attending and sponsoring booths at conferences, the "Learn the Signs. Act Early." team has begun to implement a few new tactics, such as continuing education materials and advertisements in publications reaching health care professionals. The campaign is also increasing its presence and visibility at conferences through speaking opportunities.
Another goal for this conference season is to deepen
partnerships with health care professional organizations like the
Continued African-American Outreach
The campaign has begun to expand its reach within the African-American community through outreach to mega churches. Having an average Sunday attendance of 2,000 or more, mega church congregations make an ideal target audience for distributing campaign material and communicating key campaign messages. Not only do they have large congregations, but mega churches also represent a core connection point with the African-American community, providing health, educational, and child care services. By exploring opportunities ranging from exhibiting to educational sessions to luncheons, "Learn the Signs. Act Early." has the opportunity to reach more than 15,000 members per church with campaign messages! Stay tuned for more details.

A bachelor's degree in professional accountancy provides you with the knowledge to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). This degree significantly enhances both salary and advancement potential for new accounting professionals and opens a variety of doors both in the private and public sectors of the global economy. Today's CPAs have numerous career opportunities in addition to public accountancy. These include, but are not limited to, comprehensive personal financial planning, forensic accounting, white-collar crime specialist, and senior officer positions with multi-national enterprises (MNEs)
CPAs are in high demand. In recent years, three factors have combined to drive a higher demand for CPAs:
There are many other specialty disciplines that have evolved within the accounting profession as well. Some of these include:
Employment of accountants and auditors is expected to grow faster than the average for all occupations through the year 2012. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), in addition to openings resulting from growth, the need to replace accountants and auditors who retire or transfer to other occupations will produce thousands of job openings annually in this large occupation.

I think I got it!
So here was my problem:
I had gone maybe a month or two without using Steam. When I tried to start it, I would type in my username and password, and after the rainbow-Apple wheel spun for about 1:00, it would say "can not connect to steam, this is either a problem with your internet or steam's network." Well, what I tried was: -Drag the Steam application from the applications folder to the trash -Drag the Steam folder from "yourusername/library/application support/ to the trash -EMPTY THE TRASH -Download Steam from Steam's website and drag it to the desktop, then to the application folder. -I can't remember if I tried just running Steam or running Portal 2, but either way you have to log in. So I entered my username/password, and the authentication code. Then it took forever to verify but it said it STILL couldn't access the steam network. -BUT this worked, try running Portal 2 (or any steam game/or just steam) and while it loads, go up to the toolbar and click "Games", then "View Games Library." What happened for me, is it stopped trying to "log me in" and just opened up the Steam application. I am currently downloading a new game, and hopefully it will have fixed the problem for good... |

I had this problem too, and I just solved it. Running 10.6.8.
I deleted the Steam application support folder, it's at /Users/xxxx/Applicaiton Support/Steam. Delete that Steam folder. Then delete the Steam application from your Application folder. Then re-download the Steam application from Valve's website. All working fine now! |

Had this same problem (this thread was first to show up on a search). Found the solution for any others with the same issue. Go to ~/Library/Application Support/Steam and remove the ClientRegistry.blob file. It will be remade once you open Steam again.
Seems this may have been why removing the entire folder works for others. But, this way, you don't delete extraneous data. Hope this helps others. |

I got this from Steam Support and it worked for me:
Please exit Steam and go to the folder Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Steam Delete all of the files in this folder except for SteamApps. Restart your computer. Launch Steam and re-test the issue. Note: This process will not affect your currently installed games. Note: If you are using Lion please do the following to enable your Library folder: 1. Open Terminal 2. Type chflags nohidden ~/Library 3. Close Terminal You should see the Library folder available through the Go menu on the menu bar while holding down the option key.

My Issues, Resolved, If It Helps Anyone
Just wanted to post really quickly with the support I got from Steam. My support was specific to Skyrim, but seems like it could be more broad too.
The first bit below I had already checked, so it wasn't a permissions or game cache issue for me, but the part just after that, regarding manually running the three installers int he game folder worked like a dream for my connectivity issue and 'game not available' message. Hope that helps someone! Thank you for contacting Steam Support. If you are currently running Vista or Windows 7, please complete the instructions in the following link: Title: Windows 7 and Vista Troubleshooting Link: http://support.steampowered.com/kb_a...5688-IFHZ-2170 If you are running in Windows XP, take the following steps: 1) Exit Steam. 2) Go to the "Start" menu, select "Run", type "regedit" and click "OK". 3) Navigate to the following registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\VALVE 4) Right click and select "Permissions" 5) Check the "Allow" boxes for "Admin" and "System" for both "Full control" and "Read". The remaining steps apply to *all* versions of Windows. Please also verify the GCF for this game as outlined here: Title: Verifying Game Cache Files (GCF) Link: http://support.steampowered.com/kb_a...2037-QEUH-3335 Note: Files may fail to verify. This is normal and can be ignored. Then test the issue. If you still have difficulty, you may also need to manually run secondary installers required by this game. Exit Steam entirely. Browse to your Skyrim installation folder (Usually C:\Program files\Steam\Steamapps\common\skyrim\) Run the following installers: ...\Steamapps\common\skyrim\DirectX10\dxsetup.exe ...\Steamapps\common\skyrim\DotNetFX\dotnetfx35setup.exe ...\Steamapps\common\skyrim\VCRedist\vcredist_x86.exe Reboot your computer and test the issue again.

@dwynnejr bit of a late reply, but it wasn't anything to do with steam for us, but we had software installed, called peerguardian, which would block connections when the program was ran, however, it started acting up and uninstalling it finally fixed the issue with steam not being able to connect, and for me, also my mail not being able to contact the mail servers

You need to find the port that the client uses
First of all, hello all, and I'm glad to be able to post a solution that I found to this error.
Ok, so here's what I did: 1. I went into my router and forwarded all the incoming and outgoing ports to see if the problem was with my port forwarding, or the ISP. I was able to connect after forwarding all my ports. 2. I went into terminal and used this command: lsof -i | grep LISTEN , to see what processes were listening to which ports. 3. I found steam listening to port 57343, so I went into my router again and disabled the forwarding of all ports, and only left port 57343 open. 4. logged out of steam and shut it down, opened it back up again and it now works perfectly. I am writing the instructions as well, because other people's machines might be using other ports, or the port might change from day to day, so you might need to change it if it does. P.S. I hope that people know how to forward ports, and that you might need to forward the Steam specific ports (3478, 27000-27050) to be able to download games. |

How do you forward ports? Is that router specific I assume? Thanks!

Its the steam beta program
please all make sure you turn off the option to "opt" for the steam beta program, i was having this issue as well, although i am hesitant to change code i was willing.. i thought it was perhaps the fact that a majority of us use Bootcamp as well as Mac OS.. but nope
ITS THE BETA! seriously, log in using offline mode, disable the beta option in preferences and viola hope this helps |

More than half a dozen of the wildfires that ravaged Oklahoma during the past week may have been intentionally set.
And as investigators look for the people responsible, those affected are left sifting through the ashes and wondering how someone could do something like this.
8/7/2012 Related Story: Edmond Psychologist Talks Arsonists' Mindset
Assistant State Fire Marshal Joanne Sellars said they have only been called in to investigate the fires in the Cleveland County area. However, Sellars said out of all the suspicious fires they are called in to investigate, almost half of them are intentionally set.
Investigators in Cleveland County, Oklahoma County, Grady County and Payne County are looking for the person or persons who may have intentionally set these destructive fires.
"They have to think before they do something," said Sellars. "You are not going to dive into a swimming pool with no water, so do not throw a cigarette out of a moving car in these dry conditions now or any other time."
Sellars also warns that even those with the best intentions may accidentally start a fire that can end up burning out of control.
"We need to stop things that we're normally used to doing until a period of time passes where we see Mother Nature has returned to greener times," she said.
The Oklahoma County Sheriff's Office is looking for the driver of a black 2008 Ford F-150 pickup truck, after a witness claims he saw the person throw burning trash out the window.
8/6/2012 Related Story: Police Release 911 Call In Suspected Arson Case In Luther
That is what investigators believe started the wildfire that caused so much destruction over in Luther. The fire chief in Grady County also believes the Ninnekah fire was purposely set.
8/6/2012 Related Story: Ninnekah Wildfire Believed To Be Intentionally Set
And the same is true for the fire in Cushing, leaving fire crews and the State Fire Marshal's Office stressed to the max.
"Year in and year out, between 45 to 50 percent of our fires are determined to be deliberately set fires," she said.
Since the governor has put a burn ban in place, you are no longer allowed to set any campfires, bonfires, or burn any trash. You are also encouraged to have a bucket of water or running hose when doing any yard work. The penalty for violating the burn ban is a one thousand dollar fine and up to a year in jail.

A bit frustrating that I had to sign for the parcel because I work full time and therefore rarely at home. But as always the whiskey I bought as a gift was beautifully packaged.

Adelaide Festival Centre Announces Upcoming Exhibitions
Adelaide Festival Centre will present a range of exhibitions during February in honour of the 40th anniversary of the Festival Theatre and the centenary of Her Majesty's Theatre. These exhibitions will celebrate South Australian ceramics, revered composer Richard Wagner and his great musical drama, and documentary photography showcasing the seldom seen areas of the Festival Centre.
2013 marks an incredibly significant event: the 40th year anniversary for both Adelaide Festival Centre and Adelaide's Jam Factory. To celebrate this, Stirring The Pot will bring together leading South Australian ceramic artists who vigorously sought their artistic voice in the rebellious 70s. Featured artists include Margaret Dodd, Jeffery Mincham AM, Christopher Headley,
Jo Wilmot, Liz Williams, and Silvia Stansfield, many of who were instrumental in establishing the Jam Factory and continue to exert their influence.
The Festival Theatre has played a starring role in two productions of The Ring Cycle. In 1998, State Opera of South Australia brought to the Festival Theatre the Théâtre du Chatelet's 1994 Paris production of The Ring Cycle. In 2004, State Opera created the first fully Australian production of The Ring Cycle. Wagner's masterpiece is one of the most complex and demanding operas to stage, both artistically and technically, and Wagner, the Ring and Us will celebrate these momentous productions and the bicentenary of the German composer's birth through a display of costumes, set models and designs, props, and photos.
An exhibition of photography by Neville Cichon will display rare insights into the nostalgia, humour and mechanics of the iconic performance spaces at Adelaide Festival Centre. Over a two year period, Adelaide documentary photographer Neville Cichon walked the stages, greenrooms, corridors and catwalks throughout the Festival Centre and Her Majesty's Theatre to capture the rarely seen backstage areas. The resulting photos have been collected into Neville Cichon: Backstage Pass. This exhibition is one of many events in 2013 that celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Festival Theatre and centenary of Her Majesty's Theatre.
More On: Richard Wagner.

I.C.E. (In Case of Emergency) is a simple idea that came from Bob Brotchie, a Paramedic in Britain in May 2005. He thought that everyone could put an ICE contact in their cell phones. I.C.E. tags used this concept and placed this contact information on a handy tag. You can order the I.C.E. tags as wallet cards(no hole), keychain tags(one hole), or shoe/helmet tags(two holes).
Having three children with medical conditions, and another with mild autism I think I.C.E. Tags are a great product to keep where my children are when I am not around. I personally chose to get most of the kid's I.C.E. tags made into the shoe/helmet tags that way they have two holes if I want to place them on their shoes but can still just use one to place on their backpacks...which is typically where they are. I also have one on my keychain. Our I.C.E. tags did not come with any rings or holders, so I used a spare keyring to place them on the kid's backpacks. The tags are made of a strong and sturdy plastic material(like a credit card). The information does not rub off or wear off and the card is flexible enough that you can bend it and it does not break. They are small enough to fit anywhere, and simple enough to ensure that a loved one is notified if needed!
I.C.E. tags are a simple idea, but put contact information out there easily so that it is available In Case of Emergency! You can purchase I.C.E tags by visiting http://www.iceincaseofemergency.ca/
disclosure: I received I.C.E tags for free to review. These are my personal opinions.
