How Do Frictions Affect Corporate Investment? A Structural Approach
Maria Cecilia Bustamante
Department of Finance, University of Maryland
July 17, 2015
Journal of Financial and Quantitative Analysis (JFQA), Forthcoming
This paper provides a structural approach to test investment equations based on the log-likelihood function of a non-linear investment rule. The analysis integrates the predictions of the q-theory for the commonly studied active region of investment, and provides new inferences on how real and financing frictions affect the probability that a firm invests. Our empirical findings are consistent with the macro-finance literature suggesting that q-theory models with non-convex investment frictions better explain the data. We also find that both real and financing costs of investment are related to the capital intensity of the industry in which firms operate.

This paperback book contains 12 articles by 11 contemporary authors, who have all been associated with the existential approach to psychiatry. Most of the authors are practicing psychiatrists and psychotherapists. It is interesting to observe that passionate disagreements and heresies are already rampant in this young fresh movement, recalling the early years of Freud. For this reason it is not possible to draw any conclusions or to make any generalizations about existential thought from the work of any one author.
This book is of particular value because it includes almost the entire spectrum of viewpoints in this vaguely delimited area either through authorship or by allusion.
It includes brief articles that contain some of the fundamental formulations of existential Swiss psychiatry by Ludwig Binswanger and Medard Boss who were initially responsible for the application of the philosophy of Martin Heidegger to psychiatry. It is surprising to note

(based on an article from NH Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty)
State Representatives, council members, selectmen, advocates, victims, and survivors attended the February 1, 2011 hearings on House Bills 147 and 162. HB 147 would add to the categories of offenses punishable under the capital murder statue. This bill proposes to make homicides committed in a person's home by someone who is "not invited" to be there, a death-eligible case. HB 162 would go even further, turing all cases now considered first degree murder into capital cases, and converting those now 2nd degree into 1st, punishable my a mandatory sentence of life imprisonment without possibility of parole.
Members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee heard testimony from family and friends of murder victims, and individuals who opposed, supported, or felt indifferent about the proposed legislation. Rep. Elaine Swinford, Chairwoman of the Committee, read a letter by Governor John Lynch, who endorsed the concept of adding home invasion homicide to the capital murder statue. Quiet and empathetic listening filled the large auditorium as David Cates spoke of the night his late wife Kimberly was murdered. The sponsors of HB 147 have proposed to name this law after Kimberly Cates, who was murdered in Mount Vernon. He emphasized the lack of the remorse shown by her attackers and how important it is for this bill to be passed. Representative O'Brien of Mount Vernon and Representative Bettencourt of Salem testified and echoed Mr. Cates sentiments about supporting HB 147 to send a "clear" message to the people of NH that as legislators they are committed to protecting our homes. However, for advocates like Marti Hunt who opposes HB 147, expanding the death penalty does not increase her sense of security and safety. Marti implied that a more active police presence would make her feel safer in her small, rural community in Sutton, NH. In addition, Marti read a letter by Anne Lyczak of West Lebanon, NH who is a widow of a murder victim and a victim of attempted murder. Anne's written testimony states, "HB 147 and HB 162 simply increase the possible killings. I am asking you to vote NO on these bills. A society must be based on moral bedrock. Killing by anyone, under any conditions, should not be tolerated—and that includes the government."
The Committee also received testimony from Margaret Hawthorne, a member of Monadnock Quaker Meeting, whose daughter Molly Hawthorne- MacDougal was murdered in her home in 2010. Margaret spoke gently but powerfully about how another death would only increase trauma and will not bring her daughter back. "Murder is murder," stated Margaret, who explained that advocating for murder by the government would not deter criminals from committing murder. It is also a poor exemplification of also undermines our humanity. Margaret emphasized that eliminating the death penalty is not synonymous to letting criminals off the hook; rather, it allows our government to put our limited resources toward improving upon our law enforcement and offering assistance and support to the victims' families.
The opposition of HB 147 continued through testimony from Renny Cushing, whose father was killed in 1988 in his home. Renny suggested that the death penalty does not work and is failed public policy. Representative Frances Potter asked, "could this bill increase excitement in potential murders looking for the thrill." In addition, she reminded everyone in attendance that the State of NH would have to build a death chamber and train an official who can carry out an executions. Arnie Alpert testified that there is an illusion that passing the expansion of the death penalty will enhance our safety. Brother Paul Crawford read a letter on behalf of Bishop McCormick who is opposed to the expansion of the death penalty, emphasizing our moral obligation to not support the killing of another human being.
Testimony also came from Senior Assistant Attorney General N. William Delker, a member of the NH's cold case unit. Although the Attorney General's office could not testify about the capital cases currently in court, Addison, Brooks, and Mount Vernon cases, he did comment on the language used in the bill and the impact it may have on prosecution. Delker testified that the proposed bill as it is written would cover a wide variety of offenses. For example, if a man invites his brother to his house, then tells the brother to leave but the two fight and the homeowner is killed during the fight, then the brother has committed a capital offense. Delker implied that the proposed bill as written is problematic, because there is no legal definition of home invasion. The passage of this law would lead to one to three additional capital cases prosecuted by the AG's office a year. Given the resources and time it takes to prosecute one capital murder case, Delker implored the legislators to carefully consider giving the highest quality of resources to the AG's office. Delker's testimony supports research that shows that the death penalty is not cost effective compared to life without parole. The NH AG's office spent more than $4 million during only the trial phase of two capital murder cases and only one defendant received the death penalty.
After lunch, the Committee took more testimony on HB 162, covering much of the same ground.
Although the frigid and inclement weather prevented some of us from travelling to the State House to testify, there is still an opportunity to tell your state representatives that you oppose death penalty expansion.

SHOW LOW, Ariz. (AP) - As one of the worst wildfires in the history of the West devoured more ground Tuesday, President Bush declared the charred region a disaster area and consoled evacuees at a school that has become a mass shelter, telling them: "Hang in there. You're brave and great people."
The president toured the area by air and saw a string of devastated mountain communities that have lost at least 390 homes and dozens of businesses to flames feeding on paper-dry underbrush and stands of ponderosa pine. Some 30,000 people have fled their homes, and some will be helped by funds made available under the disaster declaration.
"We're kind of used to big fires out West," Bush said, "but this is the biggest of big fires."
The blaze has blackened 375,000 acres or 586 square miles - an area larger than Los Angeles - with no containment in sight. Smoke has spread across the Southwest and was seen as far south as Las Cruces, N.M.
The Missionary Ridge fire glows in the distance as it approches the town of Durango, Colo. early Tuesday, June 25, 2002. Several subdivisions south of the fire were evacuated Monday as the fire continues to burn.

It is by far the biggest and most damaging fire of what is still a very young fire season.
A blackened buffer zone carved overnight kept the fire on the outskirts of the mountain town of Show Low, the region's abandoned economic hub. But the blaze roared on its western flank, where 15 more homes burned.

"It's like a tidal wave; it's just amazing," fire spokesman Ed Perault said. "It's fire like a lot of folks have never seen."
With his shirt sleeves rolled up, Bush told about 300 evacuees at a high school cafeteria in nearby Eagar that "a lot of people in our country are pulling for you."
"They understand that a lot of you are living in tents when you'd rather be in your own bed," Bush said.

US President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney tonight face each other in the third and final presidential debate.
After Romney bossed the first encounter before Obama hit back in the town hall style debate last week, which also saw Romney ridiculed for his comments about "binders full of women".
This time the attention focuses on foreign policy in the debate at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida.
The debate is due to start at 2am UK time, with CBS Face the Nation host Bob Schieffer moderating.
Polls show Obama with a small advantage about which candidate is best prepared to handle US foreign policy in chaotic world. Romney will do his best in the 90-minute debate in Florida to minimise the president's accomplishments and win the support of the small slice of undecided voters among the millions watching.
The former Massachusetts governor has been hitting Obama hard on the administration's changing explanations of what happened in last month's attack on the US Consulate in Benghazi, Libya, where militants killed four Americans, including US Ambassador Chris Stevens.
The Syria violence, Iran-Israel tensions, China, terrorism and the war winding down in Afghanistan were expected to come up in the final debate.
As the November 6 vote approaches, 41 of the 50 US states are essentially already decided, and the candidates are fighting over the remaining nine battleground states, including the critical Ohio and Florida.
The battleground states assume outsized importance because the presidency is decided in state-by-state contests, not by a national popular vote. The system can lead to a candidate winning the popular vote but losing the presidency, as former vice president Al Gore did in 2000.
With early and absentee voting already under way in many battleground states, including Ohio, North Carolina and Iowa, tight poll results indicate that the race could be decided by which campaign is best at getting supporters to the voting booth.
In addition to the political fight over the Obama administration's handling of the Libya attack, reports flashed around Washington over the weekend about developments in the administration's efforts to end Iran's suspected drive to build a nuclear weapon. The White House denied a New York Times report that there was an agreement in principle for bilateral talks with Tehran after the election.
Iran's economy is suffering under international sanctions aimed at convincing it to stop uranium enrichment, a precursor to creating a nuclear weapon. Obama has said if diplomacy and sanctions fail, he was ready to use military action. So has Romney, although he has said US threats should be more robust.
Obama has ranked well with the public on his handling of international issues and in fighting terrorism, especially after the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. But the administration's response to the Libya attack and questions over security at the Benghazi consulate have given Romney an issue to question Obama's foreign policy leadership.
The economy and other domestic issues remain the main focus of most voters and both campaigns.
Romney claims Obama has failed to tell Americans what he would do with a second four-year term. Obama insists that Romney is hiding details of his much-promoted plan to cut federal income tax rates. Obama says Romney cannot make all the tax cuts he has proposed without adding to the deficit or shifting more of the tax burden from the wealthy to the middle class.
Romney also has vowed to repeal the president's health care reforms, but Obama says Romney has failed to say what he would do to replace the law which would provide health insurance to 30 million Americans who now have no coverage.
Hello again, and welcome to Mirror Online's coverage of the third and final Presidential Debate, from Boca Raton, Florida. While the debate is ostensibly on Foreign Affairs, domestic issues will surely come to the fore again. With Florida being a crucial swing state, there might even be a few local issues coming up. Indeed, Marco Rubio, the popular Florida congressman, was the star turn at the Republican conference, and with Romney lagging among Latinos (it is the demographic who still support the President by a large margin) there may be a pitch to the voters who elected Congressman Rubio 2 years ago. We will have all the build up, live coverage of the debate and some reaction afterwards, as this extraordinary campaign enters its final fortnight. Stay Tuned!
The foreign affairs debate can often be a long winded, and tame affair, especially with neither candidate wanting to make a slip up so close to polling day. However, issues like the Benghazi attack, and China illicited the most fiery debate in New York last week, the candidates inches from each other faces during the Benghazi exchanges last week. Romney had two major slip ups last week, getting the timing of the Presidents speech on Benghazi wrong, and his much maligned "binders full of women" remark, which has become an Internet phenomenon of Gangnam proportions in the intervening period.
The format is strict, however, so it could be that the attack in Benghazi could be limited to one question, though expect it to be returned to again and again. Obama will feel the most emboldened following last weeks exchange, but, timing slip up aside, Romney will feel that the president hasn't quite wriggled free of criticism just yet.
In a not entirely unanticipated move, the popular weekly current affairs Magazine the New Yorker has endorsed Barack Obama for a second term. While far from a shock, their essay is worth a read http://www.newyorker.com/talk/comment/2012/10/29/121029taco_talk_editors
The American relationship with Israel is also sure to be a topic for discussion. It is something of a convention in US politics that someone who annoys the pro-Israel lobby simply doesn't have much success, but the President has been pretty outspoken on the halting of Israeli settlements in the west bank. Romney will attempt to put the President on the back foot regarding this.
The point of the President's attack on his rival will be that he is a man unfit to be commander in chief. Expect a mention of Mitt Romney's under whelming (to say the least) visit to London immediately before the Olympics, and a haughty claim by Obama that Romney is using the attack on Benghazi for some Political Gain
Rumours flying around Twitter that influential former Secretary of State (and republican) Colin Powell will endorse Barack Obama for re-election following the debate. As with all Twitter rumours, this should be taken with a pinch of salt that even Mitt Romney's caffeine free heart would be shaken by.
Just a small matter of housekeeping, to avoid confusion we will be calling Barack Obama BO, Mitt Romney MR, and CBS moderator Bob Schieffer Mod. We chose not to use his initials for obvious reasons. Not the most Da Vinci code of pseudonyms, but we hope it keeps you on track through what is sure to be a furiously paced debate
As we mention in every story on this election, this election is settled by just a handful of swing states, of which Florida, scene of tonights debate is one. The electoral college slight disadvantage toward Mitt Romney means he has to win more of these crucial swing states.
Given the election authorities seeming obsession with rotating the means of debate, we have a new format today: sitting down. The first debate took the form of an old school debate lectern format, while last week in New York we were treated to the somewhat alpha male spectacle of the two men out of their seats and in each others faces. Today, we come to the slightly more sedate surroundings of the two men sitting behind a desk.
we are now t-1 hour, and a quick glance through the bookmakers tells us that the first cliche to be used by either man "osama bin Laden" is odds-on. Expect the president to trumpet that achievement at every turn
One thing that will change is the rigidity of timing. Both the previous hosts have allowed the candidates to play fast and loose with the allotted 2 minutes to answer questions. Expect that to be enforced tonight, and it's easy to get frustrated if you aren't allowed to finish off your prepared lines with a rhetorical flourish.
What's that? You want to see a picture of Mitt Romney with his massive family in a room covered with portraits of himself? Well, here you are then https://pbs.twimg.com/media/A52YHgGCQAAKXBj.jpg
So, our debate prep has probably mirrored that of the candidates. We expect Israel, Libya and Iran to pretty much exclusively dominate the debate, with nods towards the spiralling situation in Syria, and the perceived threat of China and Russia. But there remains a chance that a curve ball could be thrown. Perhaps a question on our own Special Relationship? But, make no mistake there could be a question that throws everyone, candidate and journalist alike, off guard.
The sky news panel is now speculating along the same lines as us: with their speculation focusing on whether there could be a question on near neighbours Mexico, a relationship which is about so much more than drugs and immigration. Even closer (at least to the debate) could a question on Cuba throw the candidates off their guard?
Pro - Obama, pre - Debate spinning is centring on two phrases "courage" to give the kill order on Osama Bin Laden. And, curiously, "war - weary" a phrase used by Democrats in the spin room. Is this an indication that Mitt Romney will be portrayed during the debate as a warmonger, with a Bush esque preemptive strike policy? It would appear so.
As we near the big moment a reminder you can get in touch with your thoughts pre, mid and post debate through either the comments below, or by tweeting @DailyMirror
We were about to say "a quick note on the polling" but to be honest its night on impossible. National Polls swing anything from a 7 point lead for either man to a dead heat. Obama is clinging on for dear life in the crucial state of Ohio, whilst Romney seems to have the debate state of Florida all but wrapped up. It's tight folks, really tight, and you will have to stay with us to see if there is a game changing moment.
Torture, could be the elephant in the room. Advanced interrogation techniques, to give it it's focus group friendly term, was halted by Obama quite soon after he took office, but would Mitt Romney reinstate it? Like many things, the position is unclear, but don't bet against him being asked.

Davis is no workout wonder like Tony Mandrich, Robert Gallery or Matt Jones. The Maryland phenomenon tore up the ACC for three seasons, leading the conference in receiving yards as a junior, more than Miami's Sinorice Moss. He's speedy enough line out wide and strong enough to line up at fullback.
The intimidating part is besides ridiculous speed and sure hands, he can actually block. In fact if you talk to him he'll say he relishes blocking most.
He has all the physical machinery to make an impact at the position the league has never seen. He has the body of Shannon Shape. He's got hops like Antonio Gates. He's got an ability to find creases like Jeremy Shockey and the speed of a.. Well no tight end has ever had his speed.
In a class jam-packed of athletic skill players, Davis totally stands apart. By the time he's finished, Davis could influence the tight end position on the same plateau Lawrence Taylor did at linebacker.
HALOTI NGATA WON'T BE THE FIRST DEFENSIVE TACKLE TAKENJust like Ngata, Brodrick Bunkley has a nasty looking presence to him and that's meant as a compliment. Unlike Ngata, Bunkley plays like a beast. Ridiculously sculpted for over 300 pounds, Bunkley has speed and playmaking ability attached to him Ngata can't rival.
While Ngata will be a rock-hard run stuffer, especially in a 3-4 setting, Bunkley can throw an entire offensive line off its game. A great combine solidified Bunkley's rise from a late first/early second rounder into the middle of the first round and perhaps higher. Don't be the least bit stunned if Buffalo tabbed him eighth overall.
JAY CUTLER WILL BE THE SECOND OVERALL PICKEverybody and their great grandmother has Matt Leinart disappearing second in their mock draft. Not so fast.
Freshly anointed New Orleans head coach Sean Peyton is a quarterback's guy first and foremost. He's said to be enamored with the way Cutler threw at the combine and for good reason. Not only did Cutler impress everyone merely by working out while Leinart and Vince Young took a pass, he did it beyond impressively. He made throws all over the place and ran a very respectable 4.77 40-yard dash. He also threw up 225 pounds 23 times, more than some linemen could boast. It wasn't just the numbers that were impressive; it shows how hard he's willing to work.
While Leinart is measured the more polished quarterback its Cutler that has the greater upside and projected NFL capabilities. Don't be at all surprised to see him go second overall and if you're Detroit at nine you can forget him unless you're trading up.
MARCUS VICK WILL BE DRAFTED ON DAY ONEVICK ARRESTEDYou've got to hand it to the NFL Network and the league in general. They refused to let Vick be a significant point of the NFL combine. Despite interview requests that would make Angelina Jolie jealous, Vick was not given a main podium to address gossip seekers. His quotes barely got on the air and NFL Network rarely showed him working out.
The reason is because mostly what you hear is true. Marcus is a bad apple. There's many around the league who say he came off as unapologetic and borderline ignorant during interviews.
Still, the bottom line is he's a good football player, much better than Maurice Clarrett, who was drafted in the third round last year. Best case football-wise he can be a lesser version of the Vince Young experience. A team like Dallas, Oakland or of course big brother led Atlanta may take him in the third.
JIMMY WILLIAMS IS SLIPPINGJust a short time ago Williams was running neck and neck with Michael Huff to be the first defensive back chosen. At worst he was projected as a top 12 pick. Now he may be lucky to be the second DB taken.
While Williams is as striking as ever physically, reports are speculate he's been coming across as unsteady during team interviews. Some clubs whom originally had him high on their board now wonder about his attitude and motivation.
Tye Hill and Jason Allen, either or both could possibly go before Williams. Both had inspiring combine workouts.
ERNIE SIMS IS RISINGThere's probably not a faster linebacker in the entire draft, including AJ Hawk and teams are starting to take notice. Not long ago he was considered a reach in round one but now scouts are comparing him to Johnathan Vilma. He could easily be gone when Philadelphia picks 14th. There's no way he lasts until 25th when the Giants pick, as many mock drafts indicate now.
ONE MIAMI PLAYER WILL GO IN FIRST ROUND, BUT NOT WHO YOU THINKSinorice Moss and Eric Winston are two Canes' that have been projected as low first round picks. Both will go early in the second but unless something funny happens neither will have their card called by Paul Tagliabue during ESPN's 11-hour round-one coverage.
The only Miami player who's going in the first round is Kelly Jennings. He's a blanket cover corner who will go somewhere between San Diego, Kansas City and Cincinnati. Several are calling him the best cover corner in the entire draft.
THE BEST NFL RECEIVER IN THE DRAFT WON'T GO UNTIL THE SECOND ROUNDSantonio Holmes is regarded as the finest prospect in the receiving class and is likely be the first wide out taken. Chad Jackson wowed scouts with a crazy 4.32/40 and climbed into the first round.
But in the NFL, the best receiver of this crop is going to be Michigan's Jason Avant. He didn't run the forty at the combine so his speed will be an issue. What scouts can't take issue with are his incredible hands and instincts to set up opposing corners. Coaches thought he wore crazy glue at the combine because he didn't drop anything. While it would be ridiculous to compare him to Jerry Rice, he has the ability to be that type of receiver.
Some teams will take a pass because speed will be their apprehension. They'll live to regret it.
VINCE YOUNG IS GOING TO THE RAIDERSSome people, many in fact expect Tennessee to take Young with the third pick in the draft. It's not going to happen. The Titans are going to take D'Brickshaw Ferguson third overall and worry about left tackle again in about a decade.
The Jets picking fourth have redone Chad Pennington's deal and will bring in a one-year veteran like Jon Kitna as insurance in case he breaks down again physically. They'll take Mario Williams (or will they? See below), who takes over for John Abraham after he's traded somewhere.
AJ Hawk and Vernon Davis will be the next to go which brings the Raiders into play at seven.
Notwithstanding taking Andrew Walter in the third round last season and liking him, Davis is the kind of owner willing to take a gamble on a talent like Young.
Are you going to get the Vince Young that demonstrated more poise than any college QB in history in the Rose Bowl? Or are you receiving the Young that was woefully not ready for interview and intelligent tests at the combine, knowing millions of dollars could be on the line?
Nobody knows for sure right now what kind of NFL QB Young will be, but the hunch is Davis is going to find out.
BUSH WILL GO FIRST, BUT NOT TO HOUSTONNew York Jets Logo PinTexans general manager Charley Casserly is posturing a lot less than you think when he talks about dealing from the top spot. As great a player and marquee name Reggie Bush is, the club is happy with Domanick Davis and have their eyes on one of three players; Ferguson, Mario Williams and Hawk.
At the end of the day, Casserly will pull off a trade with the New York Jets and move down to four where he's still guaranteed to get one of the three. New York, despite having so many other needs will take the bait. The Jets then have the guy who'll give Curtis Martin an earlier-than-anticipated send off.
The Jets will still be terrible in 2006. But at least they'll be terrible with Reggie Bush.

Despite Spending $46 Million, California Rejects PG&E
Paul Hogarth: Outspent over 1,000-to-one by a monster utility company, consumer advocates defeated by a 52-47 margin an odious measure that would have cemented PG&E's monopoly. To call this a David & Goliath victory does not give it justice.
LA Progressive: May 9 to 15, 2010
Articles by Rev. Irene Monroe, Randy Shaw, Georgianne Nienaber, John Delloro, Ed Rampell, Noman Solomon, Paul Hogarth, Paul Loeb, Ivan Eland, Jim Fuller, Carl Matthes, Andrea Christina Nill, Tom Hall, Charley James and Lulu Demaine, Berry Craig, Tom Degan, Robert Reich, Carl Bloice, Tracy Emblem, Tina Dupuy, Jeffrey Blankfort, Anthony Samad, Michael Sigman, and Johnny Townsend
Proposition 16: Bad for Californians
Tracy Emblem: California allows cities and counties to purchase electricity or develop it locally through an energy provider of their choice. Currently, 68 percent of California's electricity is generated by investor-owned utilities. Proposition 16, on the June 8 primary ballot, would alter local government's ability to develop electricity service and is bad for California's residents and businesses.
California's Prop 16 is Worst Measure on June Ballot
Paul Hogarth: Every election cycle has an awful state ballot proposition, with plenty of corporate funding to fool voters. For the June primary, it's Prop 16 – a thinly veiled power grab by PG&E to shut down competition to keeps its monopoly.

And it wasn't just him either.
The entire first team defense paced the Clemson football team in the final scrimmage of fall camp Saturday.
While stats from Saturday's weren't immediately available - they didn't need to be.
The defense played very well.
"We went out there thinking, 'let's have some fun today get out there and make some good plays,'" Anthony tells CUTigers. "We did some good things today. Everybody came out with an attitude today and everybody did their job. We worked well together.
"We took a step forward."
Returning the majority of its front seven from a top 25 defense a year ago, expectations are naturally high for this unit. However two weeks ago, the first-team offense came out on a 13-play drive and went right down the field in the first scrimmage of camp.
Saturday, there was nothing of the sort to report.
"I thought the defense set the tempo today," head coach Dabo Swinney said afterwards. "They played a pretty clean scrimmage. (We didn't) Have some of the mistakes we had defensively the other day." "We created some turnovers. We had a pick six on the second play of the game - Jadar [Johnson] picked it off. We mixed it up a lot today."
Players also talked about how well the front seven played in short-yardage situations, essentially shutting down Clemson's first-team offense.
"We set the tone up front today," said senior defensive tackle Deshawn Williams, also smiling after leaving the field. "We take pride on defense not losing competitive situations like short-yardage. There's that time where you have to get out there and be nasty. So we take pride in that."
The team will now get a small break as students report back to campus this weekend in preparation for the start of classes Wednesday.
After that, the attention turns towards the season opener at Georgia.
"We definitely had a good camp. We have a strong understanding of everything and we are just trying to get better everyday," Anthony said. "We really haven't talked about Georgia too much just yet. It's been more about us."
"But that's about ready to change. Real soon."

Paul Hogarth: President Obama has been justifiably slammed for not pushing hard enough for a public option, but the truth may be even worse than that.

CLARK/DL5/PX Ophthalmic Glasses
These sunglasses complement your look with an accessory that is a cut above the rest. True to the Edel-Optics motto "SEE AND BE SEEN", you are on a par with celebrities, impressing in every environment. Would another colour not be a better match for your favourite outfit? Check also the other styles of CLARKin our 2015, and 2016 Smith range.
The unisex Smith model makes no distinction between men and women. Eyewear is in. Full rim is extremely popular, because you feel that you get more eyeglass for your money. It is not just about their resilience, but also about the visibility of material and design, which are of the highest quality. The quadratic shape makes the face appear longer, due to its straight outer edges. The frame is, therefore, particularly advantageous for more rounded facial features. Plastic frames like these combine durability and are comfortable to wear. The CLARK is a very snug fit on the ears and nose. Black is one of the undisputed classics. It can be combined with any outfit and simultaneously radiates elegance and naturalness. Grey lenses are a classic in sunglasses. Their high degree of neutrality with regard to the field of view, makes them particularly suitable for everyday use. This brand of sunglasses, of course, also provides your eyes with optimum UV400 protection.
If you press the button "order with prescription lenses', our digital dispensing optician will install the lenses in the original tint or as you wish. Your dioptre values are the only thing we require from you.
Even if this Smith is presently not in stock, it is worth ordering now, because the current price can't be beaten. And because Edel-Optics is a paradise for bargain hunters, you can get this top model at an incredibly low price. What is labelled as "in the sale" at other online shops, is for us "all-day-everyday" prices.

Exchange and Capital Controls as Barriers to Trade
This paper considers the effect of exchange and capital controls on trade in the gravity-equation framework, in which bilateral exports depend on the distance between countries, the countries' size and wealth, tariff barriers, and exchange and capital controls. The extent of exchange and capital controls is measured by unique indices. In view of the degree to which countries have liberalized their exchange systems, controls on current payments and transfers are found to be a minor impediment to trade, while capital controls significantly reduce exports into developing and transition economies. Thus, further capital account liberalization could significantly foster trade. Copyright 1999, International Monetary Fund

I absolutely love my MIL, shes the sweetest person ever and i just adore her but she has been driving me crazy for 2 weeks.
This is whats going on: We had an AC window unit in our room and it broke about a year or so ago so we needed to get it replaced. We decided to get a portable AC Tower thing. And we have been having problems with it for some time now. Since his parents still own the house we live in we pretty much rent from them supper cheap and they fix and or replace any appliances. So i told her that the AC was not working well. It rattles all the time, leaks water, and dosent cool sometimes. we put elevated the tower so we could put a bucket under it to catch the water and it needs to be emptied out almost everyday. We just tried to make due with what we have since it was manageable. but recently about 2-3 weeks ago it started leaking from random places and wouldnt drip into the bucket and we ended up waking up to puddles of water. I called the company and told them of the problem and they asked that we send a copy of the receipt to see if its still covered under warranty to see if the repair would be covered or what they can do and not to use it until its fix. Well we have no other way of cooling the room other than this AC since our room use to be the patio. the Central AC dosent cool our room. We live in florida where its freaking hot! I called MIL right after and asked her for the receipt of the unit so i can get the ball rolling. She no longer had it, so i told her that since it was purchased with a credit card she just needed to go to Home Depot with the card and they would reprint it for her and then i can send it in. That was 2 weeks ago and still nothing. I ask her EVERYDAY!! and she gives me the same answer, i will do it tomorrow, I just didnt feel good today. Now she does have some health issues but if she can find the energy to go shopping for groceries which is in the same plaza as the damn home depot i think she can walk in and ask for the receipt! I mean come on!! they are right next to each other!! I even offered to drive her and she just blows it off.
Anyway so because of this problem i haven't been geting sleep. Its so loud and it just leaks water everywhere it cant be on. I dont want to be cleaning up puddles and puddles of water all day and night. and i cant just ignore it, the last thing i want to do is wake up and slip n fall at 7 months prego. I also dont want my daughter to walk into the room and slip n fall and hurt herself.
I just asked her again today, i decided to call her and remind her i needed it and i just blew up on her when she said she would try to go on Monday. I told her not to even worry about it since she clearly wasn't I was going to go to home depot and use the rent money to buy a new AC unit for the room and i was sick of her nonsense.
Now that its all said and done its raining like crazy, i cant go anywhere, sure as heck can't lift an AC Unit i was just so damn angry i just lost it. I feel bad for getting upset but i dont feel like i need to apologize to her for what i said.

Burrito Filling
Total Time
Prep 10 mins
Cook 20 mins
This is my burrito filling recipe. I am bad about measuring and even worse about writing it down and changing it as I go. Feel free to taste test this and add stuff that your family enjoys! Please let me know your ideas! This uses my seasoning Taco Seasoning - Budget Friendly Seasoning for Tacos, Burritos.. 166030. If you are using another, use the amounts specified for that particular one. The amount here would equal two, 1.25 store bought packets.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 lbs ground beef or 2 lbs ground turkey, cooked or 2 lbs cooked chicken, cut up and shredded
- 1 white onions or 4 -6 green onions, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 tablespoons taco seasoning, Using Taco Seasoning - Budget Friendly Seasoning for Tacos, Burritos..
- 6 ounces water or 6 ounces beer or 3⁄4 cup broth
- 14 ounces stewed tomatoes or 1 pint tomatoes, home canned
- 1⁄4 cup fresh cilantro stem, minced
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)
- Saute onion in a large skillet adding garlic and cilantro during the last minute or two.
- Add meat and seasonings and stir well. Allow to saute for a minute or two, letting the meat absorb some of the flavors.
- When it seems that it is really dry and the mixture is starting to stick add the tomatoes and liquid and scrape all the browned bits from the bottom. TONS of flavor there. Add sugar if using. ( The sugar makes the tomatoes taste more like home grown and home canned or even organic).
- Reduce heat to simmer and cook for 20 minutes or so. When you are ready to use the mixture return heat to high and cook off almost all the liquid so that your filling is not runny or wet.
- Use to fill tortillas or in a casserole.
Most Helpful
This was very tasty!! I only gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I thought it was a little incomplete for a burrito filling - once I added black beans and sharp cheddar cheese it was perfect! I omitted the onions and used garlic powder instead of cloves but other than that followed the recipe exactly using beef broth and home canned tomatoes. I also used the taco seasoning (made with homemade chili powder made from dried habanero peppers) recipe and loved it! Thanks for sharing!
Great recipe! I used 1 1/2 pounds ground meat instead of the two pounds and left out the cilantro as I didn't have any. Filling still turned out great. I also used the seasoning recipe. Thanks for sharing.
I searched and searched for the perfect burrito filling...this is it! I love the seasoning recipe too. Perfect!

The VIX, the Variance Premium and Stock Market Volatility

Journal of Econometrics, Vol. 183, No. 2, pp. 181-192, December, 2014
We decompose the squared VIX index, derived from US S&P500 options prices, into the conditional variance of stock returns and the equity variance premium. We evaluate a plethora of state-of-the-art volatility forecasting models to produce an accurate measure of the conditional variance. We then examine the predictive power of the VIX and its two components for stock market returns, economic activity and financial instability. The variance premium predicts stock returns while the conditional stock market variance predicts economic activity and has a relatively higher predictive power for financial instability than does the variance premium.

After the shooting in Orlando, mainstream media outlets reported the shooting as "the worst in U.S. History." Most Native people and activists knew this to be untrue and took to Twitter and Facebook to fix the headline and clarify.
I have never been able to find that place to stand to cleanse myself of all bias. If that place exists, getting there involves abstaining from much that is important to me.
A Kurdish pop star has crashed the media scene from the Middle East to Cannes to Los Angeles with a call for peace and unity while wearing golden heels, military camos and confronting the Islamic State, on video.
The Washington Post poll that came out last week showing that nine out of 10 Native Americans surveyed did not find the term Redsk*ns offensive drew outrage from Indians all over the internet, and from tribal leaders and scholars who have been leading the charge for changing the team nic
For many, the key take away of the recent survey conducted by the Washington Post is that the vast majority of American Indians do not take offense at the name of the local professional football team.

The problem with white saviors isn't necessarily that they're paternalistic, or dumb, it's mostly that they aren't dependable. Where is my white savior when I want a jar opened? Ultimately, if you give a white person too much power as an ally they will betray you.
The Revenant is not for the faint hearted as the bloody and brutal violence constantly spews across the big screen like a horrific nightmare. The ambience of the opening scene is cloudy and dark, giving viewers a sense of eeriness, stirring up feelings of terror and suspense.
The Revenant is a film that revamps American mythology. There's an expediency and urgency as it's photographed in panoramic long seemingly one shot takes. It couldn't be done on film, had to be digital.
During the 20 years that Russell Means and I were writing partners, from 1992 to 2012, Hollywood made several movies that misrepresented American Indians and their cultures in insulting ways.

Amid the ruins from the Market Street building collapse, investigators have spent the last two weeks sifting through the rubble in search of personal belongings of survivors - and the dead.
The list of items lost was long. A wallet. A purse. Keys. A cellphone. A favorite family photo.
Yet when the painstaking search for those things ended this week, very few had been found.
Those looking for personal belongings came up mostly empty-handed, and many of the items, now imbued with history and tragedy, may never be recovered.

Make tomato aspic layer: In a small bowl, mix 1 envelope of gelatin with ¼ cup cold water. Add tomato juice, lemon juice (from ½ to 1 lemon) and hot pepper sauce. Cool completely. Mixture should still be runny. Put into a well-oiled 8- to 10-cup oval mold. Let set completely in refrigerator.
Make egg layer: Mix remaining 2 envelopes gelatin with remaining ¼ cup cold water. Add the 1 cup boiling water and mix until gelatin is dissolved.
Separately, mix chopped eggs, mayonnaise, salt, ketchup and remaining 3 tablespoons lemon juice and add to gelatin mixture.
Gently place mixture on top of firmed tomato aspic layer and cool in refrigerator several hours.
To serve: Cut around mold, then invert onto a serving platter. Set a hot, wet dish towel on the top of the inverted mold for a few minutes. After a few minutes, lift up and wiggle slightly and mixture should unmold onto platter. If it does not come out, put hot towel on for another minute and repeat until mixture unmolds. Serve garnished with greens.
