Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis working papers are preliminary materials circulated to stimulate discussion and critial comment.
Differences in Subprime Loan Pricing Across Races and Neighborhoods
We investigate whether race and ethnicity influenced subprime loan pricing during 2005, the peak of the subprime mortgage expansion
Why Do Education Vouchers Fail at the Ballot Box?
We compare a uniform voucher regime against the status quo mix of public and private education, focusing on the distribution of welfare gains and losses across house- holds by income.
Moral Hazard and Lack of Commitment in Dynamic Economies
We revisit the role of limited commitment in a dynamic risk-sharing setting with private information. We show that a Markov-perfect equilibrium, in which agent and insurer cannot commit beyond the current period, and an infinitely-long contract to which only the insurer can commit, implement identical consumption, effort and welfare outcomes.
Dynamic Optimal Insurance and Lack of Commitment
We analyze dynamic risk-sharing contracts between profit-maximizing insurers and risk-averse agents who face idiosyncratic income uncertainty and can self-insure through savings.
Should Easier Access to International Credit Replace Foreign Aid?
We examine the interaction between foreign aid and binding borrowing constraint for a recipient country. We also analyze how these two instruments affect economic growth via non-linear relationships. First of all, we develop a two-country, two-period trade-theoretic model to develop testable hypotheses and then we use dynamic panel analysis to test those hypotheses empirically. Our main findings are that: (i) better access to international credit for a recipient country reduces the amount of foreign aid it receives, and (ii) there is a critical level of international financial transfer, and the marginal effect of foreign aid is larger than that of loans if and only if the transfer (loans or foreign aid) is below this critical level.
Out-of-School Suspensions and Parental Involvement in Children's Education
Do parents alter their investment in their child's human capital in response to changes in school inputs? If they do, then ignoring this effect will bias the estimates of school and parental inputs in educational production functions.
Optimal Auditing and Insurance in a Dynamic Model of Tax Compliance
We study the optimal auditing of a taxpayer's income in a dynamic principal- agent model of hidden income. Taxpayers in our model initially have low income and stochastically transit to high income that is an absorbing state.
Immigration Policy and Counterterrorism
A terrorist group, based in a developing (host) country, draws unskilled and skilled labor from the productive sector to conduct attacks in that nation and abroad.
The Distributional Burden of Instant Lottery Ticket Expenditures: An Analysis by Price Point
This article examines the distributional burden of different price-point instant lottery games. Theoretical reasons exist for expecting higher-priced instant lottery games to be less regressive than lower-priced instant games.
Foreign Direct Investment, Aid, and Terrorism: An Analysis of Developing Countries
Using a dynamic panel data framework, we investigate the relationship between the two major forms of terrorism and foreign direct investment (FDI). We then analyze how these relationships are affected by foreign aid flows.
The Role of Schools in the Production of Achievement
What explains differences in pre-market factors? Three types of inputs are believed to determine the skills agents take to the labor market: ability, family inputs, and school inputs.
An Evaluation of the Employment Effects of Barriers to Outsourcing
Barriers to outsourcing that are being currently implemented in the US effectively tax its companies who "export" jobs through outsourcing. The objective is to raise domestic employment.
Crime and Arrests: Deterrence or Resource Reallocation?
We use monthly time-series data for 20 large U.S. cities to test the deterrence hypothesis (arrests reduce crimes) and the resource reallocation hypothesis (arrests follow from an increase in crime).
Economic Freedom and Employment Growth in U.S. States
We extend earlier models of economic growth and development by exploring the effect of economic freedom on U.S. state employment growth. We find that states with greater economic freedom – defined as the protection of private property and private markets operating with minimal government interference – experienced greater rates of employment growth.
Where Does Noise Fall on People? Evidence from Atlanta Airport
Spatial heterogeneity of the determinants of airport noise is explored using houses sold near the Atlanta airport. Ordered probit locally weighted regressions (OPLWR) produce results substantively different than those using standard ordered probit.
Is the International Border Effect Larger than the Domestic Border Effect? Evidence from U.S. Trade
Many studies have found that international borders represent large barriers to trade. But how do international borders compare to domestic border barriers? We investigate international and domestic border barriers in a unified framework.
Do Large Banks have Lower Costs? New Estimates of Returns to Scale for U.S. Banks
The number of commercial banks in the United States has fallen by more than 50 percent since 1984. This consolidation of the U.S. banking industry and the accompanying large increase in average (and median) bank size have prompted concerns about the effects of consolidation and increasing bank size on market competition and on the number of banks that regulators deem "too–big–to–fail."
Biofuel Subsidies and International Trade
This paper explores optimal biofuel subsidies in a general equilibrium trade model. The focus is on the production of biofuels such as corn-based ethanol, which diverts corn from use as food.
The Effects of Recessions Across Demographic Groups
The burdens of a recession are not spread evenly across demographic groups. The public and media, for example, noticed that, from the start of the current recession in December 2007 through June 2009, men accounted for more than three quarters of net job losses.
The Role of Location in Evaluating Racial Wage Disparity
A standard object of empirical analysis in labor economics is a modified Mincer wage function in which an individual's log wage is specified to be a function of education, experience, and an indicator variable identifying race.
The Revenue Performance of Casinos after a Smoking Ban: The Case of Illinois
Recent state-wide smoking bans are likely the most significant regulations imposed on the casino gaming industry. We explore the effects that the Illinois state smoking ban has had on Illinois casino revenue and attendance as well as casino tax revenue.
Poverty, Political Freedom, and the Roots of Terrorism in Developing Countries: An Empirical Assessment
This paper finds that political freedom has a significant and non-linear effect on domestic terrorism, but this effect is not significant in the case of transnational terrorism.
Foreign Aid as Counterterrorism Policy
This paper presents a model where foreign aid bolsters a developing country's proactive counterterrorism efforts against a resident transnational terrorist group.
Toxic Exposure in America: Estimating Fetal and Infant Health Outcomes
We examine the effect of toxic exposure on U.S. infant and fetal mortality rates between 1989 and 2002 from toxic pollution released by facilities reporting to the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI).
U.S. Commercial Bank Lending through 2008:Q4: New Evidence from Gross Credit Flows
What was hiding behind the aggregate commercial bank loans through the end of 2008? We use balance sheet data for every insured U.S. commercial bank from 1999:Q1 to 2008:Q4 to construct credit expansion and credit contraction series and provide new evidence on changes in lending.
In his classic work on the economics of fertility, Becker (1960) suggests that children are likely "normal." We examine this contention.
This paper offers evidence on the design of subprime mortgages as bridge-financing products. We show that the viability of subprime mortgages was uniquely predicated on the appreciation of house prices over short-horizons.
This paper is an exploration of subprime mortgages over the cohorts from 2000 through 2006, especially those prior to 2004. In particular, this study contrasts subprime originations during the "boom years" of 2004-2006 with originations during an "early period" of 2000-2002.
The Interplay between Preemptive and Defensive Counterterrorism Measures: A Two-Stage Game
A two-stage game depiction of counterterrorism is presented, where the emphasis is on the interaction between the preemptive and defensive measures taken by two targeted countries facing a common threat.
City Business Cycles and Crime
We explore the influence of city-level business cycle fluctuations on crime in 20 large cities in the United States. Our monthly time-series analysis considers seven crimes over an approximately 20-year period: murder, rape, assault, robbery, burglary, larceny, and motor vehicle theft.

15 Questions We Have About Ben Affleck Playing The New Batman
Last night, the Twitterverse practically exploded with Warner Bros. announcement that actor Ben Affleck will play the next Batman in the upcoming Zack Snyder film set to be released in July of 2015.
That's right, Affleck will be replacing Christian Bale as the caped crusader in a film that will feature both Batman and Superman on the same screen for the first time ever. Naturally there were those who supported the decision to go with Affleck, and those who hated it. That's what America is all about!
We here at Elite Daily aren't quite sure how we feel about the news yet. We still have a ton of questions. Here are the 15 questions we have about Ben Affleck playing the new Batman:
Will Matt Damon play Cat Woman?
Will Batman have a Boston accent?
Will Batman still have an inexplicably deep, raspy voice?
Will Jennifer Garner play Rachel Dawes?
Will there be an extensive workout scene like in every movie?
Will Gotham City be shot in Boston?
Will Batman be blind like Dare Devil?
Is this all just a joke?
Will Michael Caine Still play Alfred?
*If not, we REFUSE to see the movie.
Will Liam Neeson find a way to wind up in this movie, too?
Will Harvey Dent somehow become resurrected so he can yell "RACHELLL! RACHELLLLL?"
Will Bruce Wayne have a younger brother trying to follow in his footsteps?
Will Batman accidentally wind up with a dead hooker?
Will Pitbull make an appearance?

November 11, 2003
The University of New Mexico plays its final exhibition game Sunday when it faces the EA Sports Southwest All-Stars. Tipoff is 7:05 p.m. from The Pit/Bob King Court in Albuquerque. This is the second of two home exhibition games for the Lobos. The 101st regular season begins in earnest on Saturday, November 22, against San Francisco State.
The Lobos have already played five exhibition games after taking a Canadian Tour last month. UNM went 4-0 on a trip to Vancouver, British Columbia, defeating the University of Calgary, Trinity Western College, the Vancouver All-Stars and Simon Fraser. Because of the tour - which is allowed by the NCAA once every four years - UNM's first practice was September 27. The Lobos had 10 workouts before the trip, then resumed regularly-scheduled practices on October 21.
TICKETS - Season tickets are currently available at the athletics ticket office at The Pit. Single-game tickets are available online at golobos.com, or by calling 925-5858 or (800) 905-3315. Ticket outlets include the athletics ticket office at The Pit, the ticket office at the UNM Bookstore on main campus, and Raley's and Western Wearhouse locations in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Rio Rancho. Ticket office hours at The Pit are 8:30-5 Monday through Friday. Call (505) 925-5626 for more information.
ABOUT THE OPPONENT - The EA Sports Southwest All-Stars is a collection of former U.S. collegiate players. Lobo fans will certainly recognize the names of Tony Harvey (Utah) and former Wyoming guards Brett McFall and Chris McMillian. The All-Stars play a 13-game schedule between November 1-18. They are 1-5 heading into tonight's game at Oregon State with the lone win coming at Cal State Northridge (88-82). The losses came against Cal Irvine (94-91), Loyola Marymount (84-78), Cal Riverside (86-79), Washington (89-78) and UTEP (88-75). The All-Stars travel to Arizona State Wednesday, Texas Tech Thursday and TCU Friday before meeting UNM on Sunday. EA Sports completes its exhibition season next Tuesday at New Mexico State.
EXHIBITION RECAPS - One constant in the Lobos' 5-0 exhibition record has been hot shooting. UNM has shot a toasty 52.6% from the floor, including a smokin' 49.6% (58-117) from beyond the 3-point line. That's 11.6 treys a game. The Lobos have outrebounded their opponents by five a game (37.2-32.2) and have held foes to 39.3% shooting, including 30% from beyond the arc. New Mexico has increased its point total in every game, highlighted by a 107-point outburst against Team Ezybonds last week.
No one has been hotter than senior G Javin Tindall, who is averaging 20 points a game. He has made 69% (38-55) of his shots overall, including a salty 67% (18-27) from 3-point. David Chiotti is averaging 15.4 ppg and a team-high 6.4 rpg.
Playing four games in three days in British Columbia in mid-October, the Lobos captured four wins thanks to hot shooting. UNM hit 52% of its field goals, including a steamy 50.5% (46-91) from the 3-point line, which was positioned at the international distance of 20'6". That's an average of 11.5 treys a game. The free-throw line was not friendly as New Mexico converted only 62.3% (43-69).
Tindall paced three Lobos in double figures by averaging 18.5 ppg. He nailed 13 of 20 shots from beyond the arc, or 65%, and had 16 assists. Chiotti averaged 15.8 ppg and a team-high 6.3 rebounds. He notched 18 points and a tour-high 15 boards in the win over the University of Calgary.
Sophomore G Jeff Hart came off the bench in all four games to average 13.8 ppg, canning 13 of 26 attempts from 3-point. Freshman F Justin Benson averaged 6.0 rebounds while freshman G Ryan Wall tallied a team-best 18 assists.
EXHIBITION HISTORY - The Lobos have been playing exhibition games since the 1972 season. UNM has a 47-5 all-time record, 42-5 in The Pit. Last year, UNM beat the EA Sports West All-Stars 97-86 and the EA Sports Southwest All-Stars 90-78. Average attendance for 42 home exhibition games is 15,436.

Bristol mayor George Ferguson strikes deal to avoid PCSO cuts
Posted: February 04, 2013|
THE number of PCSOs on Bristol's streets is to stay the same after a deal secured by mayor George Ferguson.
There are a total of 110 police community support officers in Bristol and Mr Ferguson had considered axing 32 of them paid for by the city council.
But he has agreed a deal with the Police and Crime Commissioner Sue Mountstevens to keep the numbers the same. He has split the cost of the police community support officers' wages with police, the housing revenue account and Ms Mountsevens' office budget.
The city council will pay for 20 of the 110 officers, while the Police and Crime Commissioner will fund 10.
Related content
It is a move which will see the council better off by £540,000 without losing any officers.
In other moves Mr Ferguson has deferred decisions over the future of the proposed Bristol East Pool and Hartcliffe Household Waste Recycling Centre for a year. He has sent councillors away to find ways to make the projects cheaper.
He has also accepted the recommendations in principle of two groups on housing and community safety but has asked for further work to be done with officers on finding more savings.
The strategic housing task group devised a plan to spend £60,000 in order to generate an extra £264,000 from empty homes brought back into use sooner than planned over the next year.
Mr Ferguson warned the council "cannot afford to dodge" the £35 million savings needed to be made.
He said: "I agree wholeheartedly with the suggestion that we defer rather than stop the planned new pool in east Bristol and new recycling centre at Hartcliffe. This is a sensible move and means that planning work can continue at minimal cost to keep options open.
"In principle I shall be happy to accept the proposals of the housing task group but before I can make a final decision, I've asked officers to work further with members on the full extent of the proposed alternative savings. I must be certain that the numbers stack up, as made clear to all concerned, because we cannot afford to dodge the £35 million savings requirement, which won't be wished away."
He added: "I am pleased with the proposed outcome of the community safety review that justifies the challenge laid down to the police regarding Bristol being one of very few councils contributing to PCSOs.
"This proposal to reinstate the full overall number of 110, but with a larger contribution from the police budget and extending the job specification, is a significant advance on present arrangements. Again I need to be convinced that the savings in other jobs will compensate for the reduced savings."

Who is the next
Darcey Bussell?
By Jeffery Taylor (©)
Former dancer, Dance Critic and an Arts feature writer for the
The legendary Margot Fonteyn propelled the Royal Ballet's first significant turning point when she conquered New York in 1949. Glory abroad and establishment at home followed. This week in Puebla, Mexico, the company is facing another, some say even more profound, metamorphosis.
For the first time in its 76 year history the Royal Ballet is no longer led by a British ballerina. And the question on everybody's lips is: who is the next Darcey Bussell? The simple answer is: there isn't one.
London born Bussell's retirement after 18 years as Principal Dancer and the Face of British Ballet represents a serious identity crisis for many UK dancer lovers. There are 8 listed resident female Principal Dancers in the Royal Ballet, all of them are world class dancers, but none of them British. Nor are there any obvious native born candidates in the company's middle ranks.
Skipping a generation appears to provide a solution. We asked four of the country's leading vocational classical ballet schools, Central School of Ballet, Elmhurst School for Dance, English National Ballet School and the Royal Ballet Schools to nominate a candidate for the dual role of leading dancer and roving ambassador. "No pressure, than," quipped the Royal Ballet Schools director, Gailene Stock as she introduced her nominee, Claire Calvert, 19. Claire started dancing aged 3 in her home town, Bath and joined the RB Junior School at 11. "I didn't fit in at first," she remembers "I wasn't a typical girl all in pink, I was a bit of a tomboy." Claire joins the Royal Ballet next month, which is precisely, says Stock, when the trouble may start.

It is clear to many in the UK dance world that the generation we skipped in our search for the next Darcey Bussell was lost to political correctness and the Health and Safety Act fatally dumbing down classical ballet training. "It's inescapable," agrees Carole Gable of the Central School of Ballet. "You cannot touch a student and if a child wants to go to the loo, 2 people have to go with them. It's all tied in financially. To get the money to keep the school open we have to abide by the rules."
© Dougie Morrison
Money is the root of Mary Goodhew's problems since she opened Elmhurst School for Dance's new Birmingham premises 3 years ago. "Dancing is best developed when young," she explains, "and we lose most of the best
because not enough government funding is available for all the beautiful young talent we find." Luckily for us she did find Laura-Jane Gibson, 19, joining Birmingham Royal Ballet in August. "If I didn't have a
scholarship," agrees the young hopeful from Ayreshire, Scotland, "none of this would have been possible. There are not enough British principal dancers in our companies," she claims. Then she adds rather aggressively, "but I can change all that."

But is a Face of British Ballet really necessary in today's society in which globalisation and a shaky national identity results in a rather down beat image for the industry? Jane Hackett, director of English National Ballet School, thinks it is. "That very down beat image makes it important that dance has a voice - and a champion," she points out. Hackett sees other social pressures. "Once our society accepted their rights of Empire with confidence, but no longer and we are sometimes reluctant to admit we no longer set the standards. I see many young people at 16 who don't have the same hunger to succeed and be the best that many foreigners have." Next year Hackett will instigate a new pre sixteen training programme to nurture young British talent. Her choice for Bussell's replacement is the extremely confident, if quietly spoken Nancy Osbaldeston, 18, from Manchester. "I want to set the standards in British Ballet and I'm proud to be English."
With or without the next Darcey Bussell, not only the Royal Ballet in Mexico but our whole dance industry faces a crisis of identity, both financially and artistically. There is a lot of growing up to be done, and not just by our four young contenders.

Jake Gyllenhaal showed up to the Golden Globes yesterday with a mystery chick that probably sent Taylor Swift into angry tailspin of songwriting. So who is she?
According to People, she's Jenny Lewis, a former child star and ex-girlfriend of Jakey's.
Lewis is best known now for her indie band Rilo Kiley, and has stayed friends with Jake through the years. So basically she's that chick who he goes back to in between girlfriends.
But before you think she's his next beard, think again. Sources say Jake was flirting with Camilla Belle a few days ago at the Art of Elysium Heaven Gala.
An eyewitness told RadarOnline.com, "They hung out together the entire night. They were talking intimately, and laughing. There really seemed to be chemistry, a connection. Jake and Camilla were flirting all night. And before he left, I saw him very affectionately touching her arm. She is definitely his type."
Living up to his "player" status for sure!

Photos, video and more: UH legends honored at Hofheinz Pavilion

Hall of Fame for Yao? Yes. Retire his jersey? No, for now.
I didn't think this would be that much of a conversation starter, but the discussion of whether Yao Ming is a Hall of Famer or not is quite interesting. Clearly, on what he did on the court alone, Yao would not be considered for the Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame. But the Hall is not […] [Read More]

This week's show was all about mind over matter…
Some people (ahem, Bobbaaaay!) took that to superheroic extremes.
The first thing we loved about this episode?
- Mountains made out of molehills.
Almost everyone sniveled about Harvey's track, which scaled up a hill and back down…
In fact, Tanisha even sobbed over it. A lot of good it did her, as she ended up in dead last place…
…as her team's dead weight. Which brings us to our next item…
- Tanisha's task.
When told that her dead-weight task was going to be transporting horse manure, Tanisha said, "I'm a diva, I don't even clean up my own s***. You want me to clean up horses***?" That's funny, and also…disconcerting. If she doesn't clean up her own s***, who does? Does she have a wiper on staff? Anyway, this was all worth it to watch her struggle and pout. "This some bulls***…no, this some horses***," she whined. Indeed, Tanisha, indeed.
- Sebastian's Kaycee impression.
After all, who doesn't love some jazz hands every now and then?
- Nicole's shirt.
It's a little weird that the layout is Run-DMC-esque (after all, they weren't gangsta) — the one I have is in the N.W.A. font. Still, who could argue with the ironic sentiment?
- Internet bash-back.
In group, Rhonda confronted everyone with "bad press" in the form of what were most likely anonymous comments on the Internet. Sebastian summed up online hating directed toward him: "The Internet is some kid in a trailer park going, 'I want to be in a band, f*** him!'" Really, not everything is about jealousy (there's a sporting component to mockery), but Seb's attack on ageism…
…("If someone doesn't think I'm hot, guess what? I was 19 once. I'm 41 now. It's gonna happen to you too, motherf***er!") was totally dead-on.
- Bobby's philosophy.
The most impressive results of this exercise involved Kevin owning up to some of the gossip out there ("I was a f***in' lazy bum and sat around the house and didn't do anything for a long time") and Bobby's extremely down-to-earth take on being a discussed personality: "That's what we get into this business for, for people to talk about us, people to remember who we are, what we are. So, as long as you spell my name right, I'm cool."
It seems as though he's come a long way from his "why don't they just let me live" days. Our guy is growing up right before our eyes. Love this man.
- The resolution to this comment-reading.
Rhonda then had all of the celebs make up their own gossip headlines to reclaim their stories in a light agreeable to them:
I don't know what I love more: the fact that Sebastian used this opportunity to plug his work, or that it made it to air two months too late.
- Bobby's excuse.
Bobby crapped out of a workout led by walking/swimming/running/living inspiration, Sarah Reinertsen.
His excuse for jumping ship and having to be driven to the end of their running path?
"I got a Charlie horse in my knee!" Oh, and there was also, "It's a hernia that keeps popping out here!"
Someone get this guy a medical degree (or maybe an explorer badge), 'cause he's making trailblazing discoveries of things that never before were discovered where he's discovering them. Really, you could have told that this would go badly from the start…
…just by looking at his face when the challenge was announced.
- Kevin's confrontation with his past (at last!).
Obviously, Shar and Kevin have been dancing around each other and their history for this entire season. It was extremely cathartic, then, for Rhonda to sit Kevin down, explain the toll Shar's association with him has taken on her life and career, and say the words: "Part of the public's problem is it's hard to like you when there's no remorse. You haven't said what you need to say." Look, Kevin's emerged from this show as a likable figure (certainly more so than ever in his career), but let's not lose our heads to love. Sometimes everyone needs their ass handed to them.
- The results.
Jay's goal was 4 lbs. – he lost it.
He has now surpassed his goal for the season!
Kevin's goal was 4 lbs. – he lost 2.
Nicole's goal was 3 lbs. – she lost 5.
Kaycee's goal was 3 lbs. – she lost 2.
Shar's goal was 3 lbs. – she lost 1.
Sebastian's goal was 4 lbs. – he lost 1.
Bobby's goal was 4 lbs. – he lost 2.
Tanisha's self-imposed goal was 5 lbs. – she lost it!
The team breakdowns are:
The spread has widened considerably…but not for the two individuals with the highest Fit Factor points…
…they're neck-and-neck as always. Harvey calls this an "old-fashioned dog fight," but I think it's more a new-fangled one. Mostly, I want to see them play tug o' war using only their teeth.

COLUMBIA CITY — A Columbia City resident said she received a phone call this week from someone who knew her name and address, but wanted her to give them her Social Security number and where to send her check.
Earlier in the week, a county resident called to report that she had gotten a phone call from someone claiming to be with Medicare and after asking some health-related questions, which the woman verified, asked for her Medicare and Social Security numbers.
One of the women gave her information, and one did not. The one who did has had a family member close out bank accounts and called Social Security and other offices to report the possibility of her information falling into the wrong hands.
David Seymour, Social Security Public Affairs Specialist for northeast Indiana, reminds residents to never reply to an e-mail or phone request from someone seeking their personal information. He points out that anyone working for Social Security or Medicare offices is already going to have that number on file and will not have any reason to ask for it.
Seymour warns that scam artists will try a variety of tactics to get your information. He told of an incident in which the caller said that Social Security was experiencing a power outage and needed to verify the person's information.
"Basically, we advise you to always take precautions when giving out personal information," Seymour said. "You should never provide your Social Security number or other personal information over the telephone unless you initiated the contact, or are confident of the person to whom you are speaking.
"If in doubt, do not release information without first verifying the validity of the call or asking for a callback number and extension."
Seymour went on to say that if residents had any doubt at all about someone who claims to be a Social Security representative, they should contact their local Social Security office or calling Social Security's toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 to verify the legitimacy of the call. (If you are deaf or hard of hearing, call Social Security's TTY number at 1-800-325-0778.)
In a separate local incident, a third woman was concerned she was being scammed when an insurance company called for an appointment to discuss changes in Medicare, then missed it, and tried to reschedule. The woman believed the man was acting as a Medicare representative, and felt he was not being upfront about his intentions.
Whether this call was legitimate or not is unknown, but misleading advertising is another tactic of scammers, Seymour said.
"Often, these companies offer Social Security services for a fee, even though the same services are available directly from Social Security free of charge," Seymour said.
Seymour said these services include getting a:
• corrected Social Security card showing a bride's married name;
• Social Security card to replace a lost card;
• Social Security Statement; and
• Social Security number for a child.
He also said that some direct scammers suggest that Social Security is in dire financial shape and that people risk losing their Social Security or Medicare benefits unless they send a contribution or membership fee to the advertiser.
Anyone who believes they have received misleading advertising for Social Security services should send the complete mailing, including the envelope, to: Office of the Inspector General, Fraud Hotline, Social Security Administration, P.O. Box 17768, Baltimore, MD 21235. Also, advise your State's attorney general or consumer affairs office and the Better Business Bureau.

When people ask about the inspiration for our style of videos, I often say that our videos reflect the way that I wish I had learned in school. My learning style wasn't a good match for the way I was taught. Recently we completed a custom video project with the Buck Institute for Education (BIE) that focuses on a Project Based Learning or "PBL", and boy did it open my eyes. I can now see that I needed teachers who put PBL to work. I needed to get up from my desk and engage. I needed to work on... Continue Reading

People often ask how our presentation quality videos are used in professional and educational settings. From talking to educators and influencers, we've learned that our videos are often used to introduce a subject - to get everyone on the same page at the beginning of a class, workshop, etc. Recently, as part of our planning for 2009, we came up with a model that helps tell this story. We call it the A-to-Z Scale. The scale represents the path to learning a subject. On the left side are... Continue Reading
I'm a big believer that every business needs to understand exactly what business they are in - and for us, this has been a journey.

It was just me and I provided consulting services. Once we started making videos, we were hired to make custom videos. Again, we were a services business. In the summer of 2007,... Continue Reading
In a word: Education. Our goal in 2009 is to make explanatory videos that have a positive impact.

You'll see the first of these starting very soon and continuing into February. We're starting with the basics - big ideas that will be... Continue Reading

Gwinnett Sen. Curt Thompson isn't opposed to toll lanes as a concept, but like many of his constituents, he has not been happy with the high-occupancy toll lanes that opened along Interstate 85 a year and a half ago.
Thompson is encouraging his constituents to participate in the process, though, as state leaders consider an expansion to the toll lanes during a public information meeting Thursday.
"I still personally do not feel like these were the best use of money," he said of the 16-mile system converted from carpool lanes. "It works, but only if you can pay for it."
The Democrat from Tucker said he is more supportive of the concept for the expansion, since it will be built along newly constructed lanes from Old Peachtree Road to Hamilton Mill Road.
And while he understands there will still be a lot of people who come to Thursday's meeting protesting the toll lanes as a whole, he wants people to attempt to give feedback on the specifics of the plan. He said that type of feedback was lacking in the original HOT lanes project and led to some problems with the startup.
"I'm trying to be realistic about it at this point," he said of looking more closely at how the process will work.
"I think a lot of folks didn't realize what was going to happen," in the last go-round, he added, which lead to less public feedback on the actual plan. "They had no idea how vehement the response would be."
Thompson said he had hoped to attend Thursday's session, planned for 4 to 7 p.m. at the Gwinnett Center, but legislative committee meetings stand in the way. Next Thursday, March 28, when another session is planned at Braselton City Hall, he won't be able to make it because the Legislature is expected to convene into the evening before the final "Sine Die" of the session.Baby newsState Rep. Josh Clark didn't make it to the General Assembly on Wednesday, but his absence was excused.
The Buford Republican was at the hospital with his brand new baby daughter, born at 6:19 a.m. at Emory Midtown (Crawford Long) Hospital.
Baby Elizabeth Ann, nicknamed Ellie Ann, weighed in at 8 pounds, 4 ounces, and was 20 inches long.
"Chelsey was unbelievably amazing throughout labor and is doing well," Clark said about the birth of the couple's fifth child. "Thank you for your prayers and support. We are so thankful for another blessing!"

I'd like to know how they are going to extend this to Hamilton Mill when the toll lane will have to get pass the I-985, I-85 split in the road for it to continue along I-85. Using the left side of I-85 would be impossible so what are they also planning to build at that spot. There is more than meets the eye to get at the total cost for this project. Point #2: Why waste our time? More people objected to the first toll lane idea but yet it kept on going, just like the Everready bunny! The only hope for the public is to vote out the people making these decisions.

New bridge over I-985- the cheaper choice than the full blown clover interchange...
I wonder if increasing the number of users was the driving force behind HB475, the wonder bill allowing international driver license reciprocity agreements, whether you read English or not, know our laws in the slightest or not since there is NO test.
(In any of the 10 other languages we do currently)
Hey Department of Driver Services, just do away with any license testing at all for your CITIZENS first! Just pass them out when you sign up to vote, maybe we should drop the voting age to 16 too while we're here.
Alot like ATT urging you to "Rethink possible" which is short for:
Rethink possible if you believe you'll reach live customer service, Rethink Possible if you think your service will be cost effective,Rethink Possible if you think you'll actually be heard.
I wonder what "Rethink Possible" equates to in regard to a number of our state elected representatives?
Don_Coyote 2 years, 4 months ago
Tax monies from all who purchase motor fuels will be used to subsidize an easier commute for the few. Unlike traditional toll roads or bridges HOT lane tolls do not pay for the construction of the lanes. Also by the state constitution the motor fuel tax monies are to be distributed evenly by congressional district and as a taxpayer I would prefer other projects in our district be addressed. Or... they could just save money and eliminate SRTA and just widen the road without the hoopla and extra expense.
I guess Sen. Thompson is forgetting a quote from him that we were in total agreement upon when he said: "It felt like these lanes were designed by the people out of a Dilbert cartoon." But why couldn't we get a quote from some of the Republicans? Everyone still in lock-step?

The definition of "insanity" is "repeating the same thing over and over again expecting a different result. How is that working out for you GDP? The hearing is a dog and pony show so that the DOT can say "Well, we had public input..." Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know how well that worked out the last time.
FordGalaxy 2 years, 4 months ago
Once the county or state has decided to do something, then they hold a sham public meeting to, as JohnGalt said, claim they had public input. Regardless what the public says, the state/county will go ahead with their already-decided-upon plan. You think I'm kidding? Just ask the folks on Friendship Road in southern Hall County what happens when the county decides to do something.

From the Atlanta Regional Commission's PLAN 2040 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP): "PLAN 2040 recommendations for the managed lanes system, building off the work of GDOT's adopted Managed Lanes System Plan. The constrained RTP includes $5.4 billion and 151 miles of the network that can be built by 2040. Private investment is a key component to paying for these managed lanes. The total 374 mile, $16.5 billion vision will also leverage private resources through public-private partnerships."
Quoted here on GDP about a month ago: Georgia Department of Transportation spokeswoman Teri Pope said. "There is a no-build option with this project," she said, contrasting it to the first funded by a federal grant. "We're coming out to the public to solicit their input."
So do I think there is really a "no-build" option this time? Not a chance.
Cinsupra 2 years, 4 months ago
I agree, once the county or state decides to do something, it doesn't matter what the public says.
I think the DOT should build a NEW lane! - since I've already paid for it with the penny sales tax.

Quote from the article: "...a controversial overhaul of the state's higher education system, The Star-Ledger has learned"
Everything I read, Kean University is dire for funding for their main campus. Being just curious, how or where did Kean University get $236 Million Dollars for their China Campus? Was this NJ Taxpayer funded? Private donor? Kudos to Kean University but really, if this is money out of NJ Taxpayer's pockets, wouldn't a little transparency be necessitated, Or no? Wouldn't it have helped the UMDNJ / RU problems? The last large sum of funding was to the RU Football Stadium. Where are the priorities and prioritizing of NJHE funding? Again, just curious.
I call Shenanigans.
I think both him and the teller were in on this oversized transaction right along. No bank teller, no matter how small their hourly wage is, would count out $3K for $300. And how in the hell did that Teller's drawer add up at the end of the day? How in the hell can a Bank not know they are missing $2,700??? JP Morgan Chase just lost their pajama bottoms so I guess anything goes these days in the world of finance...sheesh...
Tired of these sports players being paid millions of dollars to carry a ball. Now they are above the law, can cover their lic. plates with tape, and have NJ State Police Escort down the Parkway? I've had it with this state. If this were any "Joe or Jane" that covered their plates with tape, there would be helicopters, news reporters, people banging on the blogs demanding justice...Oh, NFL Players with very expensive cars...oh that's okay if you kill a few people driving on the Parkway, those people can't afford a ticket to your game anyway so go ahead and kill a few tax paying citizens. Yah, like I want a VP who condones this...Run Grandma down, you've got an ultra expensive car, a sports salary, and Trooper Escort...who cares who gets killed. It's NJ.
I loved Houston's singing voice for years. When she wasn't drugged out her skull, she could hit those notes, and perform. Taking this into account, in her beloved memory, her very young adult daughter who inherited her estate, the Performing Arts School with the right fundraising plan and goals, should solicit her for an endowment gift that will enable the school to live-on, even after her daughter spends it to the last penny. No one fundraising should expect money to just drop into their lap because of a particular situation. Until Houston's passing, I hadn't ever heard of the school. In a time with facebook, twitter, Glee, and American Idol, being in NJ, I would think they would be hot recruitment school. My Two Cents...
Ravi was obsessed with his roommate's sexual activity. So much so he had remote camera access being turned on/off by other friends, and uploading his roommate's activity to his (Ravi's) Facebook page. He obviously is so insecure about his own sexuality he started a live camera feed on his roommate partly out of vindictive curiosity, partly out of fear he would fall prey to Clementi's imaginary advances. Ravi, Wei and the whole gaggle of "friends" are immature young adults who don't understand there are consequences to actions. The terrible thought is, if Clementi hadn't committed suicide, Ravi, Wei and Friends would have continued their actions. Clementi should have fought the bully with a taste of his own (Ravi's) webcam.
Talk about Dark Ages...I can't understand how Pro-Lifer's get to stand protesting outside the Federal Social Security Building on Bloomfield Avenue in Montclair!!! Talk about vested interests...WTH is going on there? Really? Can I go and distribute condoms and early pregnancy tests standing next to them in front of that Federal Building? Or is that sign on that building incorrect, and it's not a Social Security Office, but a Planned Parenthood disguising itself with "Social Security" sign on the building. The Local Girl Scout Troop should set a table outside to sell cookies. By all means, if the Pro Life Group can protest there, the Girl Scouts should be able to sell their delicious cookies there too. Oh and , Susan G. Komen...you'll never get a dime from me again.
According to the SL: Salary: $293,550 x 9 years as President=$2,641,950.00 That is an obscene amount of money to earn at a small state university with all the tribulations and supposed scandal running amok on that campus.
Could the SL just post the dates for each hunt? There a huge signs posted that blink the dates but they rotate so quickly, I can't catch all of them before I drive thru the area. Thank You.
It's really idiotic for this incident to happen with all the HIPPA Laws and rules and regs on how medical information is to be stored and released.
This is high profile medical office...for protection of both the patients and staff, they should be scanning and monitoring their computer/LAN system on a daily basis for crap being stored and/or downloaded by the staff. As a patient I would be pissed if this medical office was not sanctioned thru the Feds for HIPPA Regs on storing patient data co-mingled with this doctor's crap. A Medical Doctor storing child porn at his OFFICE where he sees PATIENTS. How uninformed is this Physician's Office as to what is going on around them? Someone seriously took their hands off the steering wheel.
Yah. I heard it. Everyone in the parking lot just stopped and looked around. There was a boom noise. At first I thought it was thunder, but it didn't roll on like a thunder clap does. Weird.
JCP+L I want to thank you for five complete days of no power. Every person I know had lost power for days. First Hurricane Irene, now this. Families with babies, the elderly, the disabled, all stuck. Today I spoke with two men from an Alabama Electric Company who were here helping to restore power. I thanked them. Without the assistance of power companies from other states, JCP+L would not have any power restored at this point. I have so little faith in this company...swear they run licorice on the power poles instead of electrical lines. High Winds, boof-no electricity. Heavy snow storm, boof-no electricity. Someone sneezes in Parsippany, boof-no electricity. This is beyond the ridiculous at this point.
Also, kindly, someone needs to get OEM working better. There were no evacuation centers anywhere close by, and the cities that were offering "warming centers" thru the Red Cross did not offer showers. May sound like a lot to ask for, but when you need to got to work and return home to a 45 degrees with cold water, a temporary shelter with shower facilities would have been nice. In fact I and other neighbors would have gladly donated cash, or services (cooking/serving food, babysitting at the center) in exchange for the use of the facility. Just bad...I don't wish this on anyone. Oh geez...spoke too soon...the lights just dimmed...crap...
Guess what?
If your town doesn't clean up the trees, and plow the snow, then I will take my cash and go spend it where I can navigate the city streets safely.
Why? Who's kidding whom here? Really. Before it's completed, all 400 jobs will have been eliminated.
Police are writing as many summons as they can. Simply, going after a real crime (stolen property, vandalism) doesn't bring in money....writing summons to Frat Parties allegedly serving alcohol to minors is a money maker...how many summons were written during this raid and the cost per the charge? Besides isn't there some legislation somewhere about when serving alcohol to a large crowd you have to purchase a Liquor License otherwise Joe's Bar down the street is going to get pissed they have to pay for a license and no one is crowding their bar because everyone is up at the College Frat Party....Think it through...someone made money off this Frat Party Raid...I doubt that it was the neighborhood crime watch thing that tripped the call to raid...It almost sounds ner-do-well /P.R. like...but that could be the spin put on the article...
That's some commentary coming from a troll who posts with a picture of Patty Hearst...Do you remember 9-11? Do you remember Lockerbie? You say you want a revolution Patty/Melissa dear, but who will you kneel to in the end of your revolution? You and Jane Fonda can both go jump in a lake. 9/11 Crap...really Patty/Melissa...it's called mourning, not self pity. I will forever remember my co-worker sobbing at her desk...her brother worked at Cantor Fitzgerald...
What a fantastic dancer! Such a loss! I forgot how much fun this movie is. The dancing/choreography is just fantastic.

Didi Conn, Travolta, Olivia, Stockard...really good actors/actresses cutting up the gym floor...
