Walras Equilibria : Finiteness and Local Stability
We study a class of exchange economies where the characteristics of the agent are fixed but the initial endowments. We define a notion of regular economies which encompasses the different approach of the literature. We then prove that a regular exchange economy has a finite odd number of normalized equilibrium price if the excess demand function satisfies a boundary condition. Then we study the set of regular economies and we prove that it is generic and open under usual assumptions.Download Info

Levin knows that his old guard, neocon, troglodyte conservatism is on the wane and libertarianism in ascendence and he's just trying to rope in new listeners. He, Rush and Hannity are caricatures of a once successful but now loser salesman.

Baby boomlet passes, but competition is stiff
Frantic parents were reassured a few years ago that it would get easier for high school students to be admitted to their top-choice colleges. The theory was that once the teenagers of the baby boomlet were in college, their younger brothers and sisters would face less competition for coveted spots.
Now, some parents and college counselors are wondering whether that time will ever come, while other experts are already seeing competition easing somewhat.
Steve Cohen, author of six books including "Getting In!" — the best-selling book on college admissions — said it is still very difficult to secure a spot at a selective school.
Even though the baby boomlet has subsided, the competition has not abated, because more foreign students and immigrants are applying to college.
"More kids are applying to more schools," Cohen said. "The largest cohort ever was two years ago, the high school class of 2009. It went down since then, maybe a half of percent from 2009 to 2010. That's not going to affect very much."
Mahwah High School Director of Guidance Dominick Gliatta says he does see the improvement.
"It is definitely a little easier, because the numbers have dwindled," Gliatta said. "The last couple of years, colleges were in the driver's seat because they only had a certain number of spots but an exorbitant amount of applications.
"Now the roles are kind of reversed a little bit," Gliatta said. "The student has a little more power now because there is not as much competition. However, the elite schools are always elite schools, such as Harvard. They only accept 7 percent of their application regardless of the number of applications."
Technology is also playing a major role. With the increasing popularity of the Common App — an online application accepted by more than 400 colleges and universities — students can apply to as many colleges as they want with the click of a button.
"It's kind of easy because everything is there for you and you only have to fill out one application … and it transfers it all over to all of the schools you check off," Gliatta said. "Many students use it as a crutch. Students are now applying to a few more schools because it is easier. Our guidance office processes about 3,000 applications."

Since the dawn of internet media, all including small business rely on designing sites that will give them enough space where they can even encourage individuals to see their website and thus create an impression of whether to use it or not. Some surfers agree to the extent people will use the internet to drive out a good reward system.

How to design sites for fitness equipment companies will definitely make a way to produce sales.

Aside from that, they may even lift a good stand as to when they may be able to reach a goal of owning a fitness gym. Creating a web design is unique and it unfolds the knack of creativity in you.

Are there people in big time sports who use drugs? Absolutely. Are there some who don't get caught? Yes. Two crew members from a high-profile team were arrested Tuesday, but that is hardly an indicator of a culture of rampant drug use within the sport. That they had 10.5 pounds of marijuana and were charged with trafficking certainly didn't look good. But again it is two people.
Sure, numerous individuals in the sport have tested positive since NASCAR implemented mandatory drug testing before the 2009 season, but is it any different than in any other walk of life? The percentage is still small.
Zero tolerance a must
Jim Peltz
The more salient question is whether NASCAR knows the full extent of the problem. The alleged violations of the two Earnhardt Ganassi employees were a relatively easy call because they were charged and arrested by police. NASCAR has strengthened its substance-abuse policy in recent years.
After former trucks series driver Aaron Fike revealed in 2008 that he used heroin before a race, the sanctioning body moved from testing mostly when there was "reasonable suspicion" to a policy more in line with other sports, including random testing during the season. That's led to discipline against several crew members.
But it goes without saying that in the dangerous world of motor sports, NASCAR must make sure that "zero tolerance" isn't just a slogan.

This is the first short story I ever wrote (that I completed, anyway). I was a senior in high school, and it was later published in its original form (which is not that much different than this version) in a collection of student writing called "26 Odd: Creative Works by Creative Writers." It's still my favorite story I've written, and I don't feel like I've topped it yet.
Her name was Angela, and her life ended soon after her birth.
She was 68, but her saggy wrinkles and poor posture made her appear decades older. She rarely wore any makeup to hide her age, but she did dye her hair when her whitish-gray roots began to show. Yet she used a completely unnatural reddish-blonde hue that only made her apparent age more obvious. She wore an old pair of eyeglasses with thin rounded frames she had bought used at a church bazaar years before, a prescription that fit her daily needs. Angela did not need a cane, for her back was still holding out, although her hands were fragile and her nails were bitten down. Her fingers, however, were strong enough to grip the banister of the stairs just outside her second floor apartment as she descended them every Thursday and Sunday. Thursday was grocery day, and this tradition was almost never broken. Sunday was the Sabbath day, and, of course, this tradition was never broken.
Angela was a staple at the local Catholic church. She hadn't missed a day since she was baptized, and her love for the mass was as warm as the greeting she received every Sunday morning from Father Barnabus. Barnabus was a tall man, slim and aging but commanding in voice and stature. His gray hair and gaunt cheekbones could not hide the fire in his eyes, a burning passion for his work. The echo of his voice throughout the high ceilings of the church (a sound which he himself reveled in) demanded respect, and no one respected him more than Angela. The pair standing next to each other was a pure visual contradiction, but the notable difference between them was obviously auditory. Her soft-spokeness was easily overpowered by Barnabus' declarations, for it seemed like every syllable he uttered was a vocalization of his faith, a never-ending homily on an imaginary pulpit. And Angela hung on his every word, her faith only growing stronger as the years went by. To show her eternal gratitude towards the church, her retirement checks, as meager as they were, were always split between rent, grocery bills, and the collection plate.
In fact, whenever anyone entered her cramped apartment, he would have to wonder how much of her check really went towards her survival. The walls were bare except for a silver crucifix above her bed, and the off-white paint was chipped, the cracks crawling up and across the ceiling. The only furniture was her mother's old couch and a set of table and chairs left there by the previous tenants, most likely because three of the four chairs had slightly skewed or broken legs. It didn't seem to matter, though, considering she never had any guests to sit in them to complain.
There was only one other object in the apartment worth noting, and that was the bookshelf that sat perpendicular to the uncomfortable mismatched couch. It had just two shelves, both of which were covered with a thick layer of dust, and the only books on them were the King James version of the Bible, three volumes of an uncompleted encyclopedia set, The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck, and a few grocery store romance novels from her youth. On top of the bookshelf was a lamp whose shade did not quite correspond with its base. This was the lone source of light in the apartment besides the window in her bedroom, which faced the graffitied wall of the adjacent building and provided little light. Next to the lamp was an old photograph in an even older frame – a picture of Angela in her late teens with her arms around an old lover, who seemed just as blissful as she was at the time. She rarely looked at the picture, and, eventually, it seemed as if she had forgotten about its existence entirely.
As for the rest of Angela's things, they were as plain as the walls. Her wardrobe was of the same caliber – limited and dated, practical but in no way fashionable. She hand washed everything, just after dinner on most nights. Her church offerings left her little for her meals, which consisted of soup, sandwiches, and TV dinners. The latter is ironic in itself, considering she hadn't owned a television in years. The day Father Barnabus gave his sermon on the evils of movies and television and their corrupting influence on children, as well as adults, was the same day she had the man next door remove it from her home. Ever since, she had no way of drowning out the incessant noise coming from the apartment below, occupied by everyone's favorite tenant, Cornelius.
Cornelius was a down-to-earth sort of guy in his mid-twenties, a real "party animal" in every sense of the term. There was always something going on at his place on the weekends, and Angela never missed a beat of it. She never walked downstairs to complain, though, quite frankly out of pure fear. Cornelius towered at least a foot and a half over her, was about a foot and a half wider, and his face was covered with various piercings, from his bottom lip to his left eyebrow. His ears were gauged and his hair was jet black, spiked with a bit of gel in parts here and there. His clothes were as black as his hair, covering his various tattoos and well built arms. Deep down, however, Cornelius had a heart of gold and a sense of genuine goodness and honesty that could be seen through his piercing blue eyes. His friends were even known to call him "Corny" because of his hopelessly romantic nature. Few took the time to look beneath the surface, and he was easily stereotyped by most, including Angela. She had never seen him at Sunday mass, and that was all she needed to know.
Things went on like this for years, for nothing ever really changed in that little city or in Angela's life, especially after she had retired. Her checks came, the math was done, and the collection plate was full – that is until one fateful day when the mailbox was empty. She couldn't understand why but continued to faithfully check it on a daily basis, only to turn up empty handed every time. Two weeks later, she received a letter in the mail saying something about a change of address, but she had never made such a request. She wrote a confused letter in return asking for clarification, but never received a reply.
Left with no other choice, Angela began to dip into her savings for her expenses. She had kept a healthy bank account for just such emergencies. Her timing could not have been worse, however. Father Barnabus had a very different sermon for his followers that Sunday. "Brothers and sisters," he began, "look around you at the walls of our beautiful church. Take a closer look now…observe the paint slowly chipping away! Notice the crack in the bottom of St. Peter's window! The warped wood that makes up the very pews you sit in and that balcony above you! Hear the organ's keys as they go flat! This is God's house! These imperfections are abominations! They are an insult to his grace and beauty! That is why you must give brothers and sisters! Give like you have never given before!" His face was bright red and his arms flailed around, his deep green robe with gold trim washing over and then receding back from his hands like the ocean hitting a beach and then crawling back again. Only his bony, rigid index finger, poised and accusing, could be seen at all times.
Angela reached deep into her purse, took out her glasses, pushed them up across her nose, and took out all she had left with her. She knew she couldn't afford to give more than the usual offering, but this was indeed an emergency. When the plate came to her, she dropped all she had onto it and looked back up at the altar, smiling a bit. The smile on Barnabus' face was much wider, however, as his eyes focused on the plate. "If you give God a little of what's left, that's exactly what you're going to get from God." His well-chosen words had made their mark.
That night, Angela lay on her bed and stared up at the ceiling, wishing the creaky old fan above her was still working. All of a sudden, there was a knock at the door. She sat up with a startled jump and put a hand to her racing heart. Taking her glasses off the nightstand and putting them on, she quickly walked to the door as someone continued to pound, and stood up on her toes to peer through the peephole. There before her was the distorted image of Cornelius, his face stretched across the peephole like a reflection in a bubble. He was anxiously swaying back and forth awaiting a response.
Angela pulled the bar away from the lock and nervously peeked out. "What do you want?" she quietly inquired.
"Well that's a greeting, isn't it? Hello to you too!"
There was no response.
"I hate to bother you, miss, and I know this sounds like the worst cliché ever, but the store down the street's closed and I need some sugar for my coffee. Have you got any I could borrow?" She nodded and walked into the kitchen to get the bowl of sugar.
The door slowly creaked open and Cornelius took a step inside, leaning against the door frame. When Angela came back in, she saw him and jumped again, dropping the bowl and spilling the sugar all over the floor. Cornelius scratched his cheek and said, "Sorry, I didn't mean to startle you. I know I haven't shaved in a while, but I wasn't aware I looked that scary!" As he bent over to help her clean up the mess, she slowly backed away and stared at him in trepidation, watching his every movement. "You know, I'm really not as creepy as I look. I didn't come here to rob you or anything." He stopped himself and looked around. "Not that there's much to steal around here anyway, unless I'm interested in ancient holy relics." He pointed at the cross on the wall and laughed a bit. Angela was not amused.
"So you're telling me you don't get bored around here? No TV, no music, no pictures on the walls…Hey, who's this? Your husband?" He picked up the picture next to the lamp, brushing the dust away, and Angela quickly snatched it away from him.
"I was never married."
Cornelius' eyes widened. "Sorry I asked."
"First you disturb my peace, then you enter my home without my permission, then you insult my home, and you top it all off by trying to pry into my personal business! Then, as soon as you get what you want, you'll go back downstairs and blast your so-called music and party with your hoodlum friends until all hours of the morning while I lie here awake all night and…" She stopped cold, realizing the floodgate she had just released.
"How long have you been waiting to say that to me? Impressive…very forceful for such an unsuspecting little old lady. I like that. You know, I don't think I ever caught your name."
He waited a moment, and she sharply replied, "Angela."
"Well, Angela, pleased to meet you. I'm Cornelius." He extended his hand, but she just kept her arms crossed. "Listen, I'm sorry about the noise pollution, Ang," he implored. "I'll tell my friends to try and keep it down from now on, okay?"
"Do not call me Ang," she snapped.
His smile quickly faded. "You don't get many visitors around here, do you? What do you do for fun? Do you even go out at all?"
"I go to church every Sunday and God fulfills my daily life. Therefore, I have no fear of straying from the path to heaven. That's all I really need," she said affirmingly.
"Who are you trying to convince – me or yourself?" Cornelius quipped.
"And what is that supposed to mean? Are you insulting my beliefs now too?" Angela was turning redder by the minute.
"No, believe what you like. Whatever gets you through the day, lady. The thing that bothers me is that you gave up on everything else in your life. Don't you believe in having a good time sometimes? Associating with your neighbors perhaps, even if it's to tell them to shut the hell up?"
Angela pointed her finger towards the door and shouted, "Leave!" Cornelius couldn't help himself any longer. It's not that he wanted to upset her further or attack her religion; it's just that he took pity on her because she could not see the life that had passed before her eyes. He had seen it all before, especially in his own family.
"Haven't you ever questioned the Bible? Or why you buy absolutely every word of it so easily? Was it even your choice or is this the life your parents chose for you?" He didn't give her enough time to answer. He wanted to get his point made before she threw him out. He quickly pointed to the offending picture. "What? Didn't he make you happy? Didn't life make you happy enough? The life that God gave you, with the gift of free will attached no less. I think the real reason you despise my friends and I so much is because you're jealous. You're jealous that we can live life with such carefree abandon because we don't know where we're going, and we frankly don't give a damn! Wouldn't you, even for just one day, like to live your life without having to constantly watch everything you do, looking over your shoulder for some imaginary disciplinary figure to reprimand you every time you squeezed a bit of pleasure out of everyday existence? You're not celebrating your faith; you're obsessing over it!"
Angela, for one of the first times in her life, took charge and ordered, "Get out! Out of my home this instant!" She repeated this over and over until he just shook his head and walked out.
Just as she was closing the door, however, Cornelius had to leave her with one last thought. "Anything you place that much faith in is bound to collapse." She slammed the door hard and sat back on the couch, slipping her glasses off again and taking the picture in her hand, staring at it intently. Slowly, but surely, she began to cry.
Angela didn't sleep that night. All she could think about was Cornelius' words and the "what ifs" and "could have beens." For the first time since her youth, she felt an emptiness growing inside of her heart. The boy in that picture was Angela's high school sweetheart. It was the conventional happy-go-lucky relationship that sappy Friday night movies are made of. They both had similar tastes, hung out with the same crowd, and had an equal passion for life that had kept them both past curfew on more than one occasion, but they knew it was worth any punishment for just one more breath of fresh air as it flew past them at eighty miles per hour on the open roads, miles away from their homes, their city, and their troubles.
College came up before they knew it, however. She wanted to stay close to home with an undeclared major; he wanted to move to another state and study science. This was their only difference. While she used to fight it as a teenager, she was raised and would always be that perfect little Catholic schoolgirl inside, and there was no place for science in that world. "Whatever happened to that 'undecided' part of me?" she thought as she sat with her legs dangling over the side of her bed, but just as quickly dismissed it. She lay on the bed and stared up at the crucifix above her. It was decided. Tomorrow, she would see Father Barnabus.
Bright and early the next day, Angela was knocking lightly on Barnabus' door, a rather lavish place that sat just a few feet from the church. As she waited for him to answer, she noticed that the door was artistically carved with a large cursive "B" with vines growing through and around it. The rest of the outside of the home still smelled a bit of fresh white paint covering the ugly, darker jade it was before, and the evergreen roof on top appeared to be recently re-shingled. The door suddenly swung open and there he stood, garbed in white and gold this time. "Angela!" he exclaimed, wrapping his arms around her small frame twice. "What brings you here this fine Monday morning my child?"
"Well," she began, "I had a visitor last night…"
Cutting her off, Barnabus began a story of his own. "I, too, had a visitor last night, Angela. It was one of the architects that are helping with the restoration of the church. It seems the costs are going to be much higher than I had previously anticipated. And I noticed that your offerings have gotten significantly smaller over the past few months…" Angela bowed her head a bit, guilt rushing over her face. "But it is no matter. I'm sure we'll find some way to raise the money. What is it that you wanted again?"
"Oh, nothing. I'll see you on Sunday, Father," she replied slowly, placing her hand over her heart as she felt her emptiness grow a bit more.
"I'll see you on Sunday then, my child."
As she walked home, Barnabus turned and a shadow fell upon his face. His pearly white teeth showed through the darkness, however, as his grin climbed from one side of his face to the other. The smile was so wide that his cheeks curled around it and it seemed like a few extra teeth had grown in just to complete it.
Angela's savings depleted faster and faster over the following few weeks, which became more and more obvious in her appearance. The reddish-blonde hair dye had long since faded, whitish-gray roots grown almost fully in. Her wrinkles seemed to multiply and grow like the roots of a tree across her body. The sparkle in her eyes even seemed to dim a bit, as if they were two stars knowing the sun was right around the mountain. Her nights were restless and her days dragged on and on. She treaded even slower than she used to, and, most unusually, she barely made it to church on time. The walk there seemed longer and longer every Sunday, and Angela just couldn't seem to find a reserve driving force inside her to move any faster.
Her offerings continued as usual, though, and other things had to be sacrificed. First the dining room set, then the couch, the shelves, and the bed frame. After just two more weeks, the entire apartment was no longer affordable. Angela held onto her crucifix and made a home of the alleyway behind her former place. There she lived on anything she could scrounge together, for her money was long gone, even for the church. Her thoughts were clouded and jumbled, and she'd stare up at the sky mumbling prayers to herself for days.
Finally, that Sunday, the bells rang as usual, but it was a much more of a glorious sound to Angela than it had ever been before. She stood up and tried to run towards the noise, stumbling over every crack and indentation in the sidewalk on the way, like a toddler just learning to walk. Excitedly, with the last bit of strength she had, she flung open the church doors and thrust herself in. The entire congregation, including Barnabus, had their backs turned and did not notice her. She went to speak, but her throat was so dry that she could not force a word out, so she grasped the elegant angel sculpture holding the holy water and began to drink from it.
Just then, Barnabus turned and spotted her. He signaled the head usher in the corner and mouthed, "Remove her," as quietly as possible. Some of the congregation turned around and gazed on her actions with horror; others completely ignored the spectacle as Barnabus continued with the mass. The ushers came running and seized her by the arms, thrusting her into the street once more. Her frail body hit the ground with a thud, her glasses falling off her face and shattering all over the sidewalk. She scrambled to pick up the broken lenses, but had no energy left to get up and protest. Angela already knew her words would do no good.
Angela tried to make it back to the alley, but she collapsed several times on the way. A day or two passed, and no one even seemed to notice the living obstruction on the sidewalk. She finally lay on the curb, exhausted and starving, her dress dirty and torn, hair molting – a living corpse at best. The emptiness had overtaken her heart, her motivation long gone. The last thing she remembered seeing was a car pulling up to the traffic light near the curb. It was a brand new red Cadillac, and the automatic window slowly rolled down. It was Barnabus at the wheel. Their eyes met for one brief moment and fixed on each other, his face remaining stoic and expressionless. The window slowly moved up again without another thought, cutting off her last bit of human contact, and the car rolled away. Minutes later, it was said that Cornelius happened by, saw her lying on the ground, took her in his arms, and lay her head finally down to rest.
Her name was Angela, and her life ended soon after her birth.

You can opt for the NEM billing rate or elect to stay with your residential rate. The bill credits you earn and the energy you consume (not covered by bill credits) will result in the rate you choose.
To make a smart decision about which rate is right for you, perform a simple self-analysis of your regular energy usage:
If your electricity use during on-peak hours (11 am – 6 pm weekdays) is less than the amount your solar system is producing, the NEM billing rate could help lower your annual electricity costs.
The price of energy is much higher during on-peak hours, especially during the summer months, when your system typically produces maxiumum electricity. This means that every excess kilowatt-hour your system generates is credited to your account at the higher rate during the on-peak period.
If you reduce your energy usage during the on-peak period, your solar system sends the excess energy to the grid and you get credited for this. The higher credits you receive can offset the cost of electricity during times when you may need electricity from the grid.
If you use more on-peak electricity than your system produces, you'll be charged the higher rate for the energy you use. It's possible your bill could end up being higher than it would have been under the standard residential rate.

The Descendants is humane, decent, and close to real quality.
Payne is an unobtrusive director, a filmmaker who lets the script do the walking - in this case, perhaps too much.
One of the year's best films, a bubbly meditation on family and responsibility that weighs just enough to matter.
In the hands of writer-director Alexander Payne, Clooney has rarely seemed so much at home.
In playing an everyman stranded between anger and duty, Clooney earns an emotional payoff that a lesser actor would simply demand.
With so many balls in the air the temptation is to rush from one plot strand to another, but Payne takes the opposite approach. He also captures the complexity of emotional reactions that grief stirs.
The Descendants is an exercise in why women are such horrible, despicable shrews. When this film isn't demonising its female characters for daring to be unhappy in their marriage, it's condescending them for showing too much emotion...
A truthful, warm-hearted, deeply moving film about loss, about death, about legacies and, yeah, family.
People looking for a good lei would be wise to say aloha to 'The Descendants,' Alexander Payne's Hawaiian-set luau in which laughter and tears combine for a cinematic feast.
A beautifully touching, tragic and amusing follow-up film from the director of Sideways.
The Descendants manages to even surpass those stratospheric expectations most fans will have walking into the theatre.
Like "Sideways" and "About Schmidt," "The Descendants" lets Alexander Payne show us the Other America and the Other Americans - little lives caught up in small but epic problems far away from the La La Land of Hollywood hype, sex and violence.
Each year there are usually one or two films that don't deserve all of the insane praise they get (last year's The Fighter is a prime example) and it looks like "The Descendants" is one for this year.
Understandable when dealing with Payne's typically directionless protagonists, The Descendants occasionally feels like it is unsure of where it's going, yet it still always ambles along at a pleasant pace regardless.
A thoroughly rewarding assembled-for-adults dramedy that benefits immensely from both its island locale and one of George Clooney's finest performances.
The Descendants is a devastating and rewarding emotional journey.
Will keep you soaked in its melancholy until the very end...
Sort of like a shotgun marriage between Jimmy Buffett and Harry Chapin.
There's some pretty tricky material for Payne and crew to navigate, but anchored by a terrific cast it's a journey of hurt and healing that lingers.
overrated, but not a bad movie
"The Descendants" goes on too long, but that's its only flaw. And frankly, I can see why Payne and his editor decided to go with this print instead of making some awfully tough decisions.
George Clooney gives a wonderful lead performance in his new film The Descendants but Clooney has always been more than just a handsome face, he's a proper movie star and in that old Hollywood tradition, he's also an everyman, one of us.
No doubt the awards hype around the film will get people into cinemas but it doesn't warrant the attention considering Payne's previous work and Clooney has put in much better performances.
Payne manages to give the film a lightness that makes it uplifting or at the least fulfilling, rather than depressing.

Audience Reviews for The Descendants
And, like his other films, it's a blend of humor and sadness, though I think this one might be the least funny, and the most emotionally stirring. It's rather depressing, but it's also quite real, which is what I love and hate about his films, since they can be really hard to watch at times, yet they are films that are must-sees.
The story here revolves around Matt King, a disillusioned workaholic lawyer in Hawaii who is forced to re-examine his life after his wife becomes comatose following a boating accident. Even before the accident he already had a lot on his plate: work consumes him, and, even more pressing, he has been wrestling with the decision to sell his family's land which had been handed down from Hawaiian royalty and missionaries. That, and as he puts it, "I was the understudy parent", so his relations with his 10 and 17 year-old daughters isn't exactly wonderful.
Like I said, despite the heavy plot, which is one heck of an emotional roller coaster, there are some wonderfully funny and wry moments, and some really finely observed moments in general. That, and Payne has one tremendous cast to work with. Clooney takes the lead and really sells the complexities of the situations that Matt finds himself dealing with. Amara Miller and especially Shailene Woodley are wonderful as his daughters, and I feel like this film will be to Woodley what Winter's Bone was for Jennifer Lawrence. And we can't forget the great supproting roles from familiar faces like Beau Bridges, Robert Forster, and Matthew Lillard, who surprisingly really nails a more dramatic role. I was amazed by his work. Nick Krause is also by far the primary comic relief here, though he also pulls off a really profound and poignant scene with Clooney, that, even though I kinda expected it, was still great when it happened.
When the end credits began to roll, I was stunned. I really wasn't sure I had felt about this movie, as it was a lot to take in. I was initially thinking that I would give it somewhere between a 4 and 5, but was honestly unsure about what it really deserved. Well, I slept on it, gave it some more thought, and, even though I gave this same grade to two other Payne films, it gets a 4.5 from me. I feel okay about this, but at the same time, I have a lingering thought in my mind that, while Payne's films do deserve this type of praise, I think I might be falling into that rut where, like other directors, I find it almost impossible to get too negative or grant that low of a score. I hope I'm wrong though, and that Alexander Payne really is one of the greatest directors of his time, and of all time.

Thomson Reuters Launches New Equity and Fixed Income Index Solution for Asset Servicing Industry
Northern Trust is first asset servicing provider to offer the new solution to institutional fund clients for benchmarking purposes
NEW YORK, November 13, 2012 - Thomson Reuters, the world's leading source of intelligent information for businesses and professionals, today announced the launch of a new benchmarking solution to help asset servicing providers (custodian banks) with investment decision-making and measurement of performance. The Thomson Reuters equity and fixed income benchmarks will provide custodian banks with performance measurement analytics that are cost effective and highly correlated with other major global market indices. Northern Trust is the first asset servicing provider to adopt the Thomson Reuters indices as benchmarking solutions for its institutional fund servicing clients.
Thomson Reuters equity and fixed income indices are available as part of a new commercial model, which packages the indices into a simple, cost effective way that defies the complex, high fee structures associated with the index industry. The launch of this model supports Thomson Reuters vision to connect and enable the global financial community and represents a significant step forward in addressing the benchmarking needs of the investment community.
"Thomson Reuters is delighted to be working with Northern Trust, a market leading name in the asset servicing space," said Steven Carroll, head of indices at Thomson Reuters.

Thomson Reuters is committed to providing cost effective solutions for benchmark index requirements across global capital markets, and this is an example of our ability to innovate and deliver."
"We welcome this opportunity to be the first to work with Thomson Reuters on this initiative to provide our clients with more quality options for their evaluation needs," said Joe Nardulli, head of the investment risk and analytical services index product at Northern Trust. "Across the retirement and fund servicing industries we have seen increased restrictions and costs added to operating models. This new solution helps Northern Trust begin to offer more options for our clients."
Northern Trust has provided risk and performance services to institutional asset servicing clients for more than 30 years. Capabilities delivered through the Investment Risk & Analytical Services group include risk monitoring, performance evaluation and compliance services. These new capabilities enhance the existing suite of investment risk and analytics solutions.

Additionally we offer Sovereign Bond Indices for 28 markets and indices for a variety of other asset classes - such as the recently launched TR/GPR Real Estate Indices, Venture Capital Indices and Shariah compliant Indices for Islamic Finance.

works well, if you replace a tool make sure it will fit without hitting the person carrying it in the back of the head when they are running. Ideal for when you get in the house and find an additional locked door.

Autobiography of Mark Twainby Charles Neider

Publisher Perennial Language English Edition Softcover › Find signed collectible books: 'Autobiography of Mark Twain' |
[*Edited by Charles Neider]
[Read by Michael Anthony]
Mark Twain's daughter, Susy, wrote: ''Papa . . . doesn't like to go to church at all, why I never understood, until just now, he told us the other day that he couldn't bear to hear any one talk but himself, but that he could listen to himself talk for hours without getting tired, of course he said this in joke, but I've no dought [sic] it was founded on truth.'' -- from the book.
Here is one of the great autobiographies of the English language: exuberant, wonderfully contemporary in spirit, written by a man twice as large as life, who -- he said so himself -- had no trouble remembering everything that had ever happened to him, and a lot of things besides.
Nothing ever happened to Mark Twain in a small way. His adventures were invariably fraught with drama. Success and failure for him were equally spectacular. And so he roared down the years, feuding with publishers, being a sucker for inventors, always learning wisdom at the point of ruin and always relishing the absurd spectacle of humankind, whom he regarded with a blend of vitriol and affection.

NEW YORK (CNNmoney) - The U.S. government said Wednesday it no longer will issue 30-year Treasury bonds because they don't meet the government's cash needs and discontinuing them will save U.S. taxpayers money.
"We do not need the 30-year bond to meet the government's current financing needs, nor those that we expect to face in coming years," Peter Fisher, the Treasury Department's� Under Secretary for Domestic Finance, said in prepared
Fisher said the decision would cut borrowing costs, since the government currently pays a higher interest rate for long-term bonds than for short-term bonds.
"They've been moving in this direction for a couple of years, reducing the size and frequency of 30-year auctions," said Bill Hornbarger, bond analyst at A.G. Edwards. "The big surprise is the timing, not the act itself. It happens in front of a couple of years where it looks like we'll be running deficits."
The price of the 30-year bond
5-10/32 points to 107-28/32 after the announcement, pushing its yield, which moves inversely to the price, down to 4.87 percent, the lowest in nearly three years, from 5.21 percent late Tuesday.
The announcement also contributed to a boost to
U.S. stocks
, which extended earlier gains after the news.
By driving up the price of 30-year bonds, the government may also be trying to drive down interest rates on other long-term debt, such as home mortgages. Though short-term rates have plunged after nine
interest-rate cuts
by the Federal Reserve, long-term bonds have been less pliable.
"It's a good move. It flattens the yield curve and brings long-term rates down," Hornbarger said.
On the other hand, while short-term bond rates are lower, it's also possible that issuing more of them will lower their price and raise their interest rate, somewhat defeating the government's purpose.
"They're going to be borrowing more money at the shorter part of the yield curve," Hornbarger said. "Is that going to push short-term rates higher? It's pretty fair to say that's going to happen."
Other observers pointed out that long-term debt offers more flexibility than short-term bonds, and some said the 30-year bond could make a comeback in the near future.
"If the government's so smart, then why haven't corporations done this a long time ago?" said John Lonski, senior economist and bond market analyst at Moody's Investors Service. "Corporations have actually stepped up 30-year bonds because they think they will minimize borrowing costs over time."

The Treasury Department said the government's near-term cash needs are unexpectedly large, due to a weak U.S. economy and the aftershocks of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, and it could run a budget deficit - not seen since 1997 - in 2002 and 2003.
"But our expectation is that these heightened financing requirements will prove short-lived, as the economy eventually strengthens, and as the pressures for increased federal outlays stemming from the attacks of Sept. 11 subside," Treasury's Fisher said.
An eventual economic and budget recovery would make long-term borrowing unnecessary, and a quicker-than-expected recovery would make it even more unnecessary, Fisher said. If the economy doesn't recover as quickly as expected, then the government will still have saved money, and re-introducing the 30-year bond, if necessary, won't cost anything, Fisher said.
The government began selling 30-year bonds on a regular basis in 1977, issuing more than $600 billion of the bonds to the public. For a time it was the benchmark security against which others were judged, but demand for it has declined, diluting its effectiveness as a financing tool for the government.
The government
Monday that its 2001 budget surplus shrank to $127 billion from $237 billion in 2000, the first time since 1992 that the budget's bottom line hasn't improved. Most economists agree that a likely economic recession, commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of shrinking
gross domestic product
, and increased government spending in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks will put the government's budget into the red next year.
The government is stepping up its short-term borrowing to meet needs in the wake of the attacks. Treasury plans to borrow $31 billion in the fourth quarter, a reversal from previous financing plans. Just three months ago, the government planned to pay down $36 billion of the national debt.
Fisher also announced that a government program to buy back a portion of the national debt, which was initiated in March 2000 after a 70-year lull, would be reviewed on a quarter-to-quarter basis. Fisher said the government plans to repurchase about $6.5 billion of debt in operations in November and December. But no buyback operations would be conducted in January 2002.

SCOTTSBORO, Ala. —
Former Salt Fork and current Parkland College golfer David Keenan shot a one-under par 71 in Friday's final round to win the NJCAA Division II National Golf Tournament individual title.
"It does feel pretty special to win and I am still trying to get used to it," Keenan said. "We
Keenan ended up with a -8 for the four rounds at Goose Pond Colony, winning by five strokes over a group of four players — South Mountain (Ariz.)'s Jake Argento, Ben Seward and Will Twitty and Calvin Freeman of Southeast (Neb.).
The sophomore entered the round down a stroke after leading the first two rounds, but was one of seven golfers under par.
"I felt a little pressure in the third because I slept on the lead those first two rounds," Keenan said. "The greens were dry today and it was breezy so I was happy to have one of the few under par rounds of the day."
It is the first Parkland individual title and earned Keenan All-American honors.
Keenan had the highest finish for a Cobra since 2009, when former Bismarck-Henning golfer Michael Davan took ninth.
"It feels pretty special to get past a golfer like him, because he did well and has gone on to play professionally," Keenan said.
As far as Keenan playing pro after this, he is going to stop at college first.
"Next year, I am going to play at Chicago State so I will play for a couple of years and see where I can go after that," Keenan said.
Steve Souchek of John A. Logan, who had the one stroke lead over Keenan entering Friday, shot an 81 to finish 12th for the week.
South Mountain won the team title by 19 strokes over second place Walters State (Tenn.).

Syracuse school district employees have elected a new president of the Syracuse Teachers Association.
Kevin Ahern beat the current president, Anne Marie Voutsinas, the union announced Friday. Balloting was Thursday, but a vote total was not released.
"We're facing enormous changes in terms of Race to the Top, the state mandates in order to comply," he said. "The economy is a real problem for us" with getting enough funding a challenge.
Ahern, 51, of Syracuse, is a Nottingham High School graduate. He taught English for 12 years at Levy School, Corcoran High School and Clary Magnet School. He has worked as a union officer since 2004.
The union represents 3,400 teachers, nurses, teaching assistants and other district employees.
Ahern takes over as president on July 1.
Voutsinas became president in 2008, when Kate McKenna retired and left the job with two years remaining in her term.

Trojan: Any program with a hidden intent. Trojans are one of the leading causes of breaking into machines. If you pull down a program from a chat room, new group, or even from unsolicited e-mail, then the program is likely trojaned with some subversive purpose. The word Trojan can be used as a verb: To trojan a program is to add subversive functionality to an existing program. For example, a trojaned login program might be programmed to accept a certain password for any user's account that the hacker can use to log back into the system at any time. Rootkits often contain a suite of such trojaned programs. |
