text: Keep your current truck-hypermile it-which means pulse and glide in the city. It almost NEVER makes sense to dump a paid for-or nearly paid for-reliable vehicle- to buy a new or newer vehicle(usually smaller less versatile) JUST FOR MPG. For example-assume you get 13mpg-and the new vehicle gets 17 mpg. Student so assume 500 miles per month 500/13=38.5 gallons/mo= $154 USA 500/17=29.4 gallons/mo= $118 You save $36 month or $435 year Trading yours for a New Colorado-cost at least $12,000 more- or 25 YEAR PAYBACK. Now if you could find a straight even trade-sell yours buy a Colorado You would still just save $36 month The full sized GMs are usually cheaper and easier to DIY repair-easier to find used parts used low mile engines-get parts anywhere in country And they are generally considered to have more reliable drivetrain. Smarter play-hypermile your 1/2 ton- get 2 mpg better-so the difference per month is just $20 Keep the truck you KNOW-and which must be reliable-since you mention no problems with it. Yeah-usually a mistake to buy a newer vehicle just for better FE- many folks did just that in 2008-dumped low mile low year Suburbans to get 3 mpg crossovers-and $30,000 notes-since they were usually still upside down on loam Keep your truck-unless it is unreliable Hypermile it Charlie PS I'm a mpg nut-will go a long way to get better FE-cars are 2006 Prius 1998 Suburban- 1/2 tons GMs can get 14-16 mpg in pure city with mild hypermiling-even better depends on actual trip length, temps, redlighs etc-and close to 20 mpg hy at 60-65 mph Make sure you run tire pressure at LEAST door decal-and closer to sidewall max is better(if ride doesn't get too rough) Pulse and gliding in city has replaced "old style" egg between foot and gas pedal in modern vehicles-worth maybe .5-1 mpg better than "egg under foot"

Woman questions crash investigation
City police are investigating an accident involving their officer in Gulfport.
By CHRISTINA SILVA, Times Staff Writer
Published November 14, 2007
ST. PETERSBURG - Jody Robinson believes she has been wronged.
She was driving to pick up her prescription from Walgreens in Gulfport in October when she got into a car accident with a St. Petersburg police officer.
Ultimately, St. Petersburg police determined that Robinson had attempted to change lanes illegally and issued her a traffic citation.
But Robinson said Officer Michael Ward had been speeding when his unmarked police car crashed into hers as she was switching lanes. That information was included in a Gulfport report but not in the St. Petersburg police report.
Now, Robinson, 55, is determined to prove her innocence. St. Petersburg police say they acted routinely and Robinson is trying to avoid a blight on her driving record.
Robinson questions several factors surrounding the incident:
- St. Petersburg police investigated the crash, even though it took place in Gulfport.
- No witness statements were included in the St. Petersburg police crash report, including Robinson's.
- St. Petersburg police did not record the estimated speed of either driver at the time of the crash, despite Robinson's claim that Ward had been speeding.
St. Petersburg police spokesman William Proffitt said police did not include witness statements in their report because none of the parties in the accident were charged with a crime.
On Oct. 20, Robinson was driving her Nissan Altima east on 22nd Avenue S in Gulfport. She needed to pick up a prescription at Walgreens, so she prepared to make a U-turn near 54th Street S, according to a statement she gave Gulfport police.
She told police that she looked in her rearview mirror and was switching lanes when she saw a silver vehicle approaching rapidly from behind in the left lane. The approaching car slammed into the left rear end of her car.
Both vehicles were nearly totaled, and both drivers received minor injuries.
More than a dozen St. Petersburg officers suddenly arrived. They told Gulfport police they would handle the investigation.
Gulfport police spokesman Lt. Robert Vincent said the law allows police departments to investigate traffic violations outside their jurisdiction if their agency's officer is involved.
Even so, it's "inappropriate," Vincent said. "I know we wouldn't do it."
Eileen Navarro said she didn't see the accident but came out of her boutique on 22nd Avenue S once she heard the crash.
"At one time I counted, and there were 18 officers. I said, wow, this is certainly a lot of officers for what seemed like a minor traffic accident," she said.
Robinson is set to appear in traffic court soon. If found guilty, her insurance company could hold her responsible for covering Ward's workers' compensation claim, said Diane Bailey, a St. Petersburg attorney representing Robinson.

Alrighty then, first, lets not make this a cop bashing thread. Second, I especially want LEO's and lawyers input on this. Does this look fishy to you? If so, how should the police agencies reacted. Lastly, does this lady stand a snowballs chance in hell of winning this case?
If it were not an LEO involved, she never would have gotten the ticket, as the law is if you rear end another vehicle, it is your fault.

I am a volunteer firefighter and have been to a few scenes that were officer involved accidents. I strongly believe that the agency involved in the accident shouldn't do the accident investigation. For example, the two most recent call were both our local PD. One investigation was done by our local PD and one was done by the California Highway patrol. In both cases the Officer was cleared of any wrong doing but in the first accident a lot of mistrust was created because of how the investigation was done.
I just think it makes a lot more sense to ask a different agency to do the accident investigation.

"Not only do the people who put their lives on the line to protect the rest of us deserve better, we all deserve better than to have our own security undermined by those who undermine law enforcement." -Thomas Sowell
Where I come from, if you are hit in the rear, the hitter is at fault. Failure to control your car and keep a safe distance. She will win if she has a lawyer with have a brain. It's not against the law to change lanes properly.
I was rear ended by a cop's wife. The cop got on scene and convinced the investigating officer that a phantom vehicle caused his wife to hit us, even though the story was all wrong. Ended up suing the woman (insurance co) for damages, and found out recently that the state police are investigating them both for insurance fraud, because the damage to their vehicle got worse between the our accident and their damage claim. Personally, I hope they go to the big house, and he gets whatever rewards come with his felony conviction. I hate crooked cops, and there is a big crackdown in these parts over fraud.

And yes, another agency should do the INV. I was involved in a on duty crash a few years ago, another agency did the report. It turned out to be a fatality, I was not at fault. Of course all the mouth breathers out there said there was a cover up, until two of the most well known traffic units in the state came up with the same result. It just goes with the territory I guess... its much more fun to look for the easy answer than the truth.

"Just blame Sixto"
I reserve the right to make fun, point and laugh etc.
My wife was rear-ended by a relative of a cop. My wife was stopped because the person in front of her was making left and waiting on traffic. The woman who rear-ended her was not in control of her vehicle. Hit my wife's car and pushed my wife's car into the car in front of her.
When the cop recognized the woman who rear-ended my wife he would not even give my wife a report of the incident. He tried to 'persuade' my wife that this was not something that should be reported. She had to jump through hoops just to get an incident report for the insurance company. She even had to get a lawyer for damages to her car and her medical bills.
In accounting, the people who have custody of the money are not the same people who account for the amounts of money coming and going. To not have the appearance of something "fishy" the investigation should be handled by a different agency.
CPA's have a rule that there cannot be even the appearance of a conflict of interest. Too bad that doesn't apply to the LE agencies in this case.
I'm glad I'm in Indiana.
About a month ago, I was driving in the right lane on a two lane road (one direction). There was a stop light about 200 feet ahead of me, with a line of cars stopped in the left lane (stalled vehicle?). I noticed this and started to slow down (which also was needed because I was going to take a right before the light). Next thing I see is a lady in the left lane speed up (she was initially stopped) to merge into the right lane and get around the stalled vehicle, hitting the front left side of my vehicle, ahead of the wheel. She did not have a turn signal on, I had no one in front of me, traveling well below the speed limit (going to turn no more than 20 feet from where she hit me), and in the end, her insurance pays (detailed and all too! ) In the report, it states that the cause was her failure to yield. So, in relation to this story, I can see it being the lady's fault for making a lane change without making sure it was safe.
I have the highest respect for police officers, having had many as friends, and pertners on my volunteer rescue squad. I do believe though, that there is an inherent conflict of interest when an agency investigates an accident with one of their officers. I've seen what "attitude" does to anontherwise fine department. A friend of mine was involved in an accident 15 or so years ago while driving an ambulance ro a call.. An elderly driver ignored, or didn't see/hear the lights and sirens, and pulled in front of him from a shopping center parking lot. The accident was clearly the older genteman's fault, and he was killed in the accident. Now, my friend wasn't liked very much by the local officers. Their investigation was bungled, either inadvertantly, or intentionally, and they found my friend at fault. Another accident investigator, a former state police officer, and subsequently a private consultant, found numerous errors, such as when they calculated the speed from the stopping distance, taking the weight of the vehicle into account, the weight they used was for a totally empty unit, where there are hundreds of pounds of equipment in a typical advanced life support ambulance. My friend's life was almost ruined by their investigation of the accident, and there wasn't an officer inolved, just a bad impression of the driver involved. I certainly would not want Metro to investigate an accident that I was in if an officer was involved (By the way, this incident occured when I lived in another state. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department was not involved in the incident that I described. Just want to be fair to Metro).

Dunga has been named successor to Luiz Felipe Scolari as Brazil coach.
The 1994 World Cup-winning captain on Tuesday afternoon conducted a press conference after being appointed manager by Brazil's Football Confederation.
Scolari resigned after Brazil finished fourth in the recent World Cup they hosted, suffering a humiliating 7-1 semi-final rout by Germany in the process.
Dunga coached Brazil at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa but was sacked following a 2-1 defeat by Holland in the quarter-finals.
His record during the four years of his first reign read won 42, drew 12 and lost six. He has beaten former Corinthians manager Tite to the post.
The 50-year-old's first game in charge will be a rematch with defeated 2014 World Cup quarter-final opponents Colombia in Miami on September 5.
Dunga launched his second spell at the helm with an attempt at dampening expectations of the national side by stressing that Brazil always have a target on their backs.
"I'm very happy for the opportunity the CBF (Brazil Football Confederation) have given me. We need to stop thinking we're the best and work harder," Dunga told reporters.
"Before the World Cup happens we sell to the public the idea we're going to win, but we don't know if we'll win.
"We need to be more modest. It's important to compromise because our opponents always want to beat us because we're Brazil.
"The Brazilian shirt is very respected, but everyone wants to beat us. We have to be prepared for that.
"We can't think that we'll pull on the Brazilian shirt and win the World Cup before it's even started.
"Nothing happens before the game starts. The most important thing is what happens during the 90 minutes on the pitch because that's when you win or lose."

2 weeks post injections, where did my juvederm go? (photo)
i had 1 syringe of juvederm xc injected into my lips. It's been 2 weeks and now that the swelling went down, I look the same as I did before the injections. Did my body reject it, or was it the technique? I'm disappointed I spent so much money for little/no results. The first 3 pics are "after" pics .working on .last 2 are some older pics I found on my phone..Any suggestions? Should I contact the center that provided the treatment?

Return to the clinic where you received your injections and discuss your concerns.
Return to the clinic where you received your injections and discuss your concerns. Assessing before and after photos is always beneficial. There are various products which contain differing degrees of consistency. Perhaps try a thicker product.

Case of disappearing Juvederm
When in comes to results after injectable fillers, before and after photographs are soooo important. The first thing I would do if I were unhappy with the results is return to the practice that performed your injection and ask them to show you your before and after pictures. Most clinics that do injections insist on using photos to document changes and results. Did you notice a temporary change and then it seemed to go away? Often times after using Juvederm or other injectable fillers you will develop larger lips partly due to the filler but partly due to swelling and trauma from the needle. The swelling is temporary and usually goes away after a week or so. Often people think that their lips have returned to the size they were prior to the injection, but when they view their before and after pictures they realize that they are larger then they were prior to treatment but not quite as large as they were right after the injection.
Bottom line is you should return to see your doctor to discuss the fact that you are not happy with your results.

Great comparative photos for juvederm
It is DEFINITELY important to have great comparative photos before and after for Juvederm because it is easy to forget. I have never experienced a case of disappearing Juvederm in my own practice. I suppose it could be technique or type of Juvederm used. Hopefully you had the Juvederm Ultra Plus XC which is longer lasting? Was a certification stamp placed in your chart? You best go and talk to the MD that did your injections. The MD should be able to explain all of what was done to you and why? If everything was done properly and you truly have zero result, many doctors will offer you a complimentary treatment or refund. Juvederm is a great product and in its newest form Voluma, it is attaining even more acclaim. Juvederm is a great product. Search out an answer. My Best, Dr C

Date of Stay: July, 2015
We stayed at Mahoney for a few days. The site was mostly level and there was plenty of grassy space between sites. The entire campground was very shady with established trees. The restrooms and showers were clean. We had electric, but no water or sewer. There was a dump station conveniently located on the way to the campground. There are lots of fun activities for the family, swimming, putt putt, horseback rides, paddle boats, fishing, hiking, and more. We will definitely stay here again. Great destination spot.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
We stayed at the Rawlins KOA twice on our way to and from our destination. The campground is sufficient for an overnight stay when you are on your way somewhere else. It is easy to get to from I-80. Neither of the sites we stayed in were remotely level. I doubt any of the sites were. We reserved spots with a windbreak, but didn't get one either night. Both nights we were told we were getting an "upgrade" to a better spot, but yet they gave us partial refunds both nights. They told my husband "the computer picks the site". So, don't take a lot of time choosing a spot ahead of time like I did. The staff was friendly, and the one time I used the restroom, it was clean. Each site has a little weed patch, which is expected in that area of Wyoming. Overall, a satisfactory place to sleep, but not much else.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
Very nice campground. Came here after canceling reservations at another campground. Nice sites, trees provided nice shade. Great grassy areas at each site. There were great sites on the river too. Nice little nature trail and greenbelt. River access for fishing. Small playground for the kids. Lots of craft classes available. We had two kids and two dogs, and it was nice and quiet. A lot of people here rent for the season, so some sites had trailers, but no occupants. Nice staff, and a great little sundry area with great prices for the little things you run out of.
Date of Stay: August, 2009
We had reservations for two nights, but left after approximately a half hour. Front Office people were nice, but campground had everyone packed in like sardines. There was very little space between sites. There is no grass nearby for dogs to use. We had a small weed patch that was supposed to be our "grassy area".There are ATV's all over, and just loaded with people. We found it very noisy. We found another campground nearby that had space for our kids and dogs to play.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
We have stayed at Three Island Crossing State Park twice this summer, and enjoyed it both times. Great space between sites, and wonderful grassy areas. Great for kids and pets. The Oregon Trail Museum was very nice and staff was great to talk to. Lots of space to ride bikes and nice walking trails. Fishing available on the river. The park is kept up very well, and is nice and quiet. We'll stay here again for sure!

A sad state of affairs....
You know, I was coming back from lunch and got caught by a train. Seems the jerk who drives it waits until I get there everyday to slowly putt across the track (but I have not been able to prove it yet). He smiles and waves hi to me, I wave back and tell him he is Number one. Anyways, every day, it is the same thing:
China shipping conainer, china shipping container, china shipping container.
Nothing against CHina or another country... but Holy Crap! It is no wonder our defecit is out the freaking roof! I wonder what other countries import basically everything. I bet you don't see USA Shipping running across the lines in China.
Want to know the extreme? Go to WalMart (You know, the Made in the USA Store). Buy an American Flag. Fly it proudly in your front yard, but don't look too closely at the little white tag on the bottom. It says:
Made in China.
Now what does that tell ya?
Dad, haven't you been following the news? China is a wholly owned subsidiary of Walmart!
Even scarier than that, where do you think all those sterile glass containers In Vitro Fertilization labs use come from? Just think, these American parents are unaware that even their babies are "made" in China products.
Nah, I think Walmart is a wholly owned subsidiary of China. Now they are entering the Americas Cup. The boat might be painted nice but the electical wont be worth a crap and the Stainless will be rusty!!
Sorry for the jab. No offense to anyone. Just joking.
Or......look into who runs the Panama Canal since we gave it away.
WalMart hasn't said much about "Made in USA" (Usa being a small town in Japan) since Sam W. died. If you follow the business press, his heirs are not at all unanimous about the change. But, WalMart offers what the American people want: the illusion of cheap. And even then, they admit it is often the *illusion*, much of their stock is competitive but not cheaper, some of it is even higher than the competition.
I don't blame WalMart, I blame Washington, and I hold the hoi-polloi that fall for the same nonsense from every politician responsible for THEM. What was Walt Kelly's line? "We have met the enemy, and they is us!"
Granted, China is a developing nation and that will always be an advantage if played properly. But...the US could have played differently. We could have paid attention to our educational system. To our crimes and prison system. To many points, all of which we keep ignoring. And if anyone tries to FIX the system? Oh, no, we can't do that here. It costs too much. (sigh)
First, shoot all the lobbyists. No, wait a minute, guns are evil, so let's just CLUB 'em all to death. There are something like 32,000 registered lobbyists now, versus some 50 in the 1950's.
Then we ban "corporate entities" from making any political contributions at all, and stop treating Big Business like it had voting rights.
Won't help much, but it's a start.
Just remember one thing, with all the money we "spend" to China? There's only one way that money can be used, it has to be SPENT on something from the US in order to be ultimately used. If they can't spend it here, the joke is on *them*.
Apart from the fact that they can use the dollars to stockpile oil and commodities, and buy the wells etc. Any left they can spend in the USA buying stock, banks, property etc, real assets before the dollar declines in value.
Aw, let 'em buy all they want. In fact, sell them the whole country. Then we can nationalize the whole shebang and bankrupt 'em all. Then we loan 'em the money to pay off the debt...wait, that's where we are now, isn't it?
"Apart from the fact that they can use the dollars to stockpile"
Can they? Only if someone else thinks they in turn can redeem the dollars back in the US. Either way, the buck still has to come back and be spent here to be redeemed. If the dollars are overvalued, it's a game of musical chairs and someone--not the US--will get caught without a seat.
We wouldn't be the first country to devalue currency and say "Haha, you lose."
But that, in the meantime, still does not address the issues at hand. It only speaks to the question of whether those issues can damage us--or not. Remember all the big money the Japanese spent on US real estate before values boomed and tanked? The money all came home, their loss not ours.
The real fun starts in 15-20 more years, when a new Chinese middle class starts looking for wives. And discovers, the millions of Chinese girl babies who were sold into adoption in the US (and the Chinese government makes a nice buck off that). Wives? Yes, they are in America. With some very different cultural values. Hmmm...Could be interesting.<G>
Of course, we could do the same thing that MANY of these countries already do. "Yessir, you want to set up an auto plant in the US? Why, sure you can. But you can only own 49% of it, you'll have to find a US citizen or corporation to own 51% of it." Shoe sure fits on the other foot, doesn't it?
Then we can nationalize the whole shebang and bankrupt 'em all.
Why that would be......communistic!

The Green Music Center opening weekend was full of good omens when a harvest moon shone over Weill Hall on Saturday and a brilliant sunlight maneuver awed the audience with its timing on Sunday morning.
World-renowned pianist Lang Lang performed to a wildly enthusiastic crowd on Saturday evening and welcomed them to "this great new hall." Even Lang Lang knew it had taken a long time in coming but was worth the wait.
After his performance, the Chinese superstar confessed that he had played the seven works -- three Mozart piano sonatas and four Chopin ballades -- for the first time that night. "So let's do something new each time," he said, sounding a note for the future.
The hundreds of guests who walked the red carpet toward the reception and performance brought a touch of elegance to the evening with their ball gowns and tuxedos. The air was alive with excitement.
And just the right amount of common sense was shown by thousands who braved the 50° weather to sit outside on Weill Lawn and Terrace. They were rewarded with an intimate and mesmerizing look at the concert on large monitors that displayed Lang Lang playing, from multiple camera angles, including one from inside the Steinway piano. Lang Lang played two encores, responding to demands from the audience both inside and outside the hall.
One guest thought the hall's acoustics seemed "brighter" with the doors open, which occurred for the first time that evening.
SSU's resident piano legend Marilyn Thomson observed how Lang Lang's idiosyncratic playing thrilled the audience.
"Lang Lang found and used so many of the truly unique qualities of the American Steinway piano he played to portray the musical dialogue and character of each piece that he performed," she said.
"It was as though he and the piano were having a profound conversation with one another," she said." And not one sound -- from the very hushed pianissimo to the most tumultuous fortissimo - was lost in the phenomenal acoustics of Weill Hall."
The celebratory mood throughout the evening excited longtime supporters as well as the new friends who were being made at the reception.
The Wine Country elite from both Sonoma and Napa counties and San Francisco, rubbed shoulders with Governor Jerry Brown and First Lady Ann Brown, Nancy and Paul Pelosi, Lynn Woolsey, MasterCard Worldwide CEO Ajaypal Banga, many Bank of America officials, and local legislators at an event that was only imagined a year ago as final planning began.
"Sonoma State University is the kind of place where good things happen at the last minute," said President Ruben Armiñana in his opening remarks, noting the early history of the University that had been created by the stroke of a pen with last-minute legislation in 1961.
The evening was full of speeches and testimonies to founders Donald and Maureen Green, Santa Rosa Symphony Conductor Emeritus Corrick Brown, Joan and Sandy Weill, and the 1,800 donors who contributed $62 million as the project grew from a vision of a small choral hall in the 1990s to the $145 million facility it is today.
Armiñana particularly paid homage to his wife Marne who he said was primarily responsible for the Green Music Center's role in the cultivation of the arts at a state university.
Sandy and Joan Weill, new to Sonoma County and whose $12 million donation boosted the project to completion this year, paid homage to their friend Lang Lang whom they first met when the pianist was 17.
"I told him then he was the Tiger Woods of the piano," Sandy Weill joked. "But now I think we are going to have to change that."
Lang Lang, who has been supported in his efforts by the Weills to create his own music foundation for young artists, called the couple "my favorite people in the world."
Rohnert Park Councilmember Gina Bellaforte felt the facility was not only a stage for world-class performers but will offer inspiration to future music students who will choose to come to Sonoma State and the area to study and pursue their passion for music. This idea was spelled out many times throughout the evening by those who commented on the new cultural opportunities that will be possible for the region.
Musical fireworks followed Lang Lang's performance before invited guests made their way to the white tent behind Prelude for a special dinner where seating ranged from $10,000 to $30,000 a table.
The dinner featured a menu by celebrity chef Michael Chiarello. Dinner guests were treated to music by the University Jazz Band before the dinner and were serenaded afterwards as they left past midnight.
Observers said that nearly a third of those at the reception appeared to be new to the campus confirming what many said that this music center will help make new friends for the University.
SSU-TV professor Ed Beebout asked U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi about her impressions of the event. "Tonight we saw a real tribute to the people of Sonoma County. The vision, the building, the appreciation of an other-worldy performance like Lang Lang's. We saw the generosity of the Greens and the Weills and we heard some fabulous acoustics." she said.
MasterCard Worldwide CEO Ajaypal Banga told Beebout that his sponsorship of the opening season - and construction of an outdoor pavilion behind the hall - is part of what his company "can do very well" to offer their customers a "priceless" experience.
"What can be more priceless than the kind of location that this school and this hall provides. I think the location of a school like Sonoma State University and a hall like this is an outstanding vision and we want to be a part of it," he said.
Armiñana said at the dinner that those who had been known in the early days of the project as "the three accents" -- himself (Cuban), Corrick Brown (Canadian), and Donald Green (Scottish) -- had made hundreds of appearances throughout the community in the initial years of fundraising would now be joined by a new accent -- a New York one --- with the involvement of Sandy and Joan Weill.
At the dinner, Don Green spoke movingly about his initial vision for a choral hall as a way to create a rich cultural center in Sonoma County that would attract engineers to the then burgeoning Telecomm Valley industry that he was pioneering at the time.
Many shared President Armiñana's sentiment that what happened Saturday night is only a hint of what is to come.
On Sunday, the Santa Rosa Symphony transitioned to its permanent home at Weill Hall. The San Francisco Symphony will call it their North Bay home beginning later in the season.
Carnegie Hall will offer a Visiting Artists in Residence program at SSU in 2013 whose musicians will reside on the SSU campus for a year, fully engaging musically with the SSU community and throughout the local community, including its schools.
Noted Sonoma County historian Gaye LeBaron said at the reception in the early evening that the outcome of the project fits in with her "third law of progress - everything always takes 20 years."

Re: Inner product can be modified?
General point: Mathematica has a programming language that is not tied to
Mathematics - if you can use the generality to get what you need efficiently
then use it.
I have certainly made use of Inner to generalize Dot, but I can't trace
this at the moment. However, consider finding the volume of a hypercube in
n-space with edges parallel to the axes and with the ends ot the principle
diagonal given by v1 and v2:
v1 = {a, b, c};
v2 = {A, B, C};
Inner[Subtract, v1, v2, Times]
(a - A) (b - B) (c - C)
Times @@ (v1 - v2)
(a - A) (b - B) (c - C)
The "Inner " form looks cumbersome, but it is faster, certainly for higher
v1 = Table[Random, {100}];
v2 = Table[Random, {100}];
Do[Inner[Subtract, v1, v2, Times],

text: I've been having problems with my TiVo Mini (Lifetime Service) ever since it was setup & installed. It continuously restarted each time I turned on my TV Monitor - that was defaulted to the HDMI1 port (TiVo Mini port). It didn't happen everytime, but what seemed like if the TV had be off for more that a few hours. I tried several things, changing ports, relocating the power supply to an outlet instead of UPS/Power strip. Nothing seemed to make any difference. I called TiVo Support and they were'nt able to HELP solve the problem. So they said they would send out a replacement ASAP. Within a day or so I started getting a message at the top of the TiVo Central screen, telling me to call and activate my TiVo Mini ... with an UNKNOWN within the text. It also stated UNKNOWN on the Account Information screen, under account status. I am assuming that they have removed the lifetime service from my defective device, as I saw a new one listed in My Account devices screen on the tivo.com site. & my current device gone from my account. What is strange is that it still seems to work fine, live TV and I can play shows from my Premiere. (I still have the restarting issue that I REALLY hope is fixed by the replacement) hopefully the replacement will show up soon, they said it would take a few days to be shipped out to me.

Application for Part 1 of Kansas' State Stabilization Funds Approved Today
June 3, 2009
Contact: Sandra Abrevaya, (202) 401-1576
U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan today announced that $301 million is now available for Kansas under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. This funding will lay the foundation for a generation of education reform and help save hundreds of thousands of teaching jobs at risk of state and local budget cuts. Kansas will be eligible to apply for another $148 million this fall. Today's funding is being made available per Kansas's successful completion of Part 1 of the State Stabilization Application, which was made available on April 1st.
"The $301 million Kansas will receive today is part of the single largest boost in education funding in recent history," said Duncan. "The President's leadership and support from Congress have made this historic investment possible. Kansas can now utilize these funds to save jobs and lay the groundwork for a generation of education reform."
To date, Kansas has received $98 million in education stimulus funds-representing a combination of funding for Title I, IDEA, Vocational Rehabilitation Grants, Independent Living Grants and Impact Aid. On April 1, Kansas received more than $35 million in Title I funding and $58 million in IDEA funding. This represents 50 percent of the Title I and IDEA funding Kansas is eligible for in total. On April 1, Kansas also received $2.6 million in Vocational Rehab funds and more than $564,000 in Independent Living funds. On April 10, Kansas received $1.5 million in Impact Aid funding.
In order to receive today's funds, Kansas provided assurances that it will collect, publish, analyze and act on basic information regarding the quality of classroom teachers, annual student improvements, college readiness, the effectiveness of state standards and assessments, progress on removing charter caps and interventions in turning around underperforming schools.
Kansas is also required by the Department of Education to report the number of jobs saved through Recovery Act funding, the amount of state and local tax increases averted, and how funds are used.

UN-Water Thematic Factsheets
UN-Water Thematic Factsheets present a series of quick facts on a range of issues related to water. These striking facts can be used for raising awareness of water-related issues and for building effective advocacy campaigns to promote responsible water use.
Click on the images below to download the PDF versions of these popular posters that have been updated in May 2013. More themes will be added to this series in the future.
Should you need more facts, have a look at our statistics section and visit our Key Water Indicators Portal.
Climate Change
There is evidence that the global climate is changing, and water is the primary medium through which climate change impacts the earth's ecosystem and people.
Water and biodiversity
To coincide with the 2013 International Year of Water Cooperation, the International Day for Biological Diversity on 22 May this year will address "Water and Biodiversity". This new fact sheet looks both at the role of water to sustain biodiversity and at the role of biodiversity for the provision of freshwater.
Water and Disasters
During the period 2000 to 2006, a total of 2,163 water-related disasters were reported globally in the Emergency Disasters Database, killing more than 290,000 people, affecting more than 1.5 billion, and inflicting more than US$422 billion of damage.
Water and Gender
Water scarcity has detrimental impacts on women and girls. Indeed, water is central to the full range of domestic 'unpaid' activities, which many cultures still view traditionally as "women domain": food preparation, care of animals, crop irrigation, personal hygiene of the entire household, care of the sick, cleaning, washing and waste disposal. This gendered division of labour in water collection tasks deprives women and girls from opportunities to escape the vicious circle of poverty and disempowerment. We need to view women and men as equal partners in all areas of water governance and water resource management at all levels.
Water Quality
Every day, 2 million tons of human wastes are disposed of in watercourses, and in developing countries 70 % of industrial wastes are dumped untreated into waters where they pollute the usable water supply. But not only industry contaminates our water resources, so does also agriculture. The contribution of the food sector to the production of organic water pollutants, are in high-income countries 40 % and in low-income countries 54 %.
Today 2.5 billion people, including almost one billion children, live without even basic sanitation. Every 20 seconds, a child dies as a result of poor sanitation. That's 1.5 million preventable deaths each year.
Water scarcity
By 2025, 1.8 billion people will be living in countries or regions with absolute water scarcity, and two-thirds of the world population could live under water stress conditions.
Transboundary waters
There are 276 transboundary river basins in the world (64 transboundary river basins in Africa, 60 in Asia, 68 in Europe, 46 in North America and 38 in South America) and 200 transboundary aquifers have also been identified.
Water and Urbanization
Today, one in two people on the planet live in a city. The world's cities are growing at an exceptional rate and urbanisation is a continuum. 93% of the urbanization occurs in poor or developing countries, and nearly 40% of the world's urban expansion is growing slums.
Water for Food
70% of the global water withdrawals go to agriculture. The world population is expected to rise from 7 billion people today to 9 billion in 2050, leading to a 60% increase of the food needed globally and a 19% increase of agricultural water consumption.

By Dennis Cauchon, USA TODAY
Prashant Tungare arrived in the USA in 1984 with a wife, a child and $500 in his pocket. Today, the India-born American citizen is a prosperous computer specialist at Wachovia Bank.
"I've lived the American dream," says Prashant, 55. He owns a 3,000-square-foot house in Charlotte and has enough money to retire, but loves his job too much to quit.
Tungare is part of the wealthiest generation in American history — a group of 67 million people 55 and older who are so affluent that the gap between them and younger people increasingly is making the USA a nation of haves and haves-much-less.
RELATED STORY: Grads set out in more debt than their parents did
The growing divide between the rich and poor in America is more generation gap than class conflict, according to a USA TODAY analysis of federal government data. The rich are getting richer, but what's received little attention is who these rich people are. Overwhelmingly, they're older folks.
Nearly all additional wealth created in the USA since 1989 has gone to people 55 and older, according to Federal Reserve data. Wealth has doubled since 1989 in households headed by older Americans.
Not so for younger Americans. Households headed by people in their 20s, 30s and 40s have barely kept up with inflation or have fallen behind since 1989. People 35 to 50 actually have lost wealth since 1989 after adjusting for inflation, Fed data show.
YOUNG & IN DEBT: USA TODAY's six-week series on how twentysomethings are struggling with growing debt
Older people have always been wealthier than younger ones. What's changed is the disparity between the generations. Old people have been racing ahead, helped by government retirement benefits. Young people are running in place, partly because they're delaying careers to get more education.
The growing gap between rich and poor has raised concerns about social justice, the fairness of the tax system and other issues. Congressional Democrats, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and President Bush have expressed concerns about economic inequality, although there is no consensus about what, if anything, should be done.
Much attention has focused on the multimillion-dollar paychecks of corporate chief executives and hedge fund managers, who've enjoyed windfalls at a time when the wages of ordinary workers have stagnated. But the graying of wealth and income may be the most important twist in the new inequality.
The implications are far-reaching and can turn conventional wisdom on its head. Social Security and Medicare increasingly are functioning as a transfer of money from less affluent young people to much wealthier older people.
Because the older generation hasn't set aside enough money to cover promised government benefits, young people will have to make up the difference or older people will face benefit cuts. The financial shortfalls of Social Security and Medicare over the next 75 years are so large — $340,000 per household — that they dwarf the wealth of every age group. This hidden debt will make it a challenge for young people to accumulate as much wealth late in life as their parents have.
A growing imbalance
In the USA, income typically peaks at age 57 and wealth tops out at 63, according to the Fed's Survey of Consumer Finance. Wealth describes a person's net worth — assets minus debts — and reflects a lifetime's accumulation of income, investments and inheritances. Income measures how much a person earned in a single year.
Inequality within age groups hasn't changed much. People in their 30s or 60s have roughly the same wealth distribution among themselves as in 1989. What's changed is inequality between age groups.
Older people are thriving in wealth and income. Younger people are not. How wealth and income have changed for two age groups, after adjusting for inflation:
•Ages 55-59: Median net worth — the middle point for all households — rose 97% over 15 years to $249,700 in 2004, the most recent year for which data is available. Median income rose 52%.
•Ages 35-39: Median household net worth fell 28% to $48,940. Median income fell 10%.
The increase in the wealth of older people tracks a sharp reduction in elderly poverty that began in the 1960s, when Medicare was introduced and Social Security benefits were improved.
The wealth gap between young and old is on a path to grow even more extreme. Baby boomers — 79 million people born from 1946 to 1964 — are entering their years of greatest wealth and maximum government benefits.
Today, the oldest baby boomer is 61. The youngest is 43. As tens of millions of people head into their years of peak wealth, inequality could soar until baby boomers pass on inheritances to their children or grandchildren.
The inequality debate has focused mostly on the super-rich, who have been getting super-richer. The top-earning 1% of taxpayers — those who make more than $310,000 annually — collected 17% of total income in 2005, up from 13% in 1989 and 8% in 1975, according to Internal Revenue Service data analyzed by economists Thomas Piketty at the Paris School of Economics and Emmanuel Saez of the University of California, Berkeley.
IRS data don't include information on age, race and education. A USA TODAY analysis of Federal Reserve and Census data found that demographics — especially age — could be the most important and overlooked factor behind the widening gap.
The old are richer
Most wealth accumulation happens rapidly and late in life — after the kids leave, when income is high, debts drop, 401(k) accounts fatten and home equity swells, according to Fed data.
The safety net — Social Security, pensions and Medicare — also has resulted in big increases in income for the elderly and a sharp decline in the rate at which they dissipate their assets in old age. Most people over 60 have no mortgage debt, no credit card debt and no car loan.
Trends for younger people have gone in the opposite direction. Mortgage debt peaks for people in their late 30s, the same time they have the most kids at home. About 11% are at least 60 days behind paying on some debt.
Younger generations now delay the start of wealth accumulation. They postpone careers to get more education. They marry later (delaying the financial benefit of a shared household), have children later (delaying the arrival of lower-cost, kid-free days) and inherit money later (their parents live longer).
Younger people may not look poor. They have more stuff than ever — more valuable houses, cars and other assets. But they are so much deeper in debt than their parents — student loans, credit cards, mortgages, car loans — that their net worth has shriveled.
What's not clear is whether today's younger people will catch up. Will they reap financial rewards late in life as their parents did?
"Young people have a great future ahead of them, but the rules of wealth creation have changed," says economist Kay Strong of Bowling Green State University in Ohio. She says young people will have to work longer and switch jobs more often than their parents for financial success.
"The baby boomers were the last generation able to ride the old industrial economy that let you hold one job for a long time and retire with a pension," says Strong, 54. "The new economy is going to require people to adapt, hold more jobs over a lifetime and give up the concept that you will retire at 62."
Challenge for the middle class
Gary Burtless, a scholar at the Brookings Institution, says the richest and the poorest have improved their standing. The middle class, however, has lost ground, he says.
The poor have been helped by expanded government programs, including the Earned Income Tax Credit, which provided $36 billion to 21 million poor households in 2006. The wealthiest have been helped by lower tax rates on income and capital gains.
"The tax system is a lot less burdensome today on the bottom 25% and the top 10%. It's the middle class that has done less well," Burtless says.
Bernanke, the Federal Reserve chairman, said in February that a snapshot of income today would find greater inequality than 25 years ago. But he said the key question is whether economic mobility — the ability to move up the income ladder — is still strong.
Other factors besides age contribute to income inequality.
President Bush in January cited education's role. "Income inequality is real; it's been rising for more than 25 years," he said. "The reason is clear: We have an economy that increasingly rewards education."
So far, though, the return on education has paid off for older people, but not for younger generations.
The net worth of households headed by a college-educated person ages 55-59 rose to $526,300 in 2004, up from $271,515 in 1989, adjusted for inflation.
This group has enjoyed enormous income gains, too, and had a median annual income of $100,634 in 2004.
By comparison, wealth and income have declined for college-educated people in their late 30s and risen only slightly for college grads in their early 40s. In short, age has mattered more than education in widening the wealth gap in recent years.
That could change as highly educated younger people — who delayed finishing college, entering the workforce and having kids — move deeper into their careers.
Another often cited contributor to income inequality is race and ethnicity.
From 1995 to 2005, median income soared among Hispanics and income inequality among Hispanics declined, the Census Bureau reports. But this robust trend of upward mobility made the nation more unequal. Why? The growing numbers of Hispanics, who tend to be younger and poorer, may be prospering compared with where their parents started. But they're poorer than white baby boomers entering their most affluent years.
Juan Guillermo Tornoe, 38, an advertising executive in Austin, had an MBA and top newspaper marketing position in Guatemala before moving to the USA in 2002.
"I am 100% sure that the upward mobility of Hispanics will continue," he says. "I've seen it in my work. I've seen it in the data. I've seen it in my own family."
A cousin who arrived 20 years ago has a good job, nice clothes and a nearly paid off home. "She would be lower-middle class in Guatemala," he says. "Here, she lives a tranquil, prosperous life."
Jeff Barham, 33, who works in human resources in Sterling Heights, Mich., feels confident about his future.
His college debt is paid off, his employer paid for him to get a master's degree, and his wife is a school teacher. But he worries whether his generation has enough discipline and opportunity to match the economic success of his parents.
"I have friends with every new gadget out there," he says. "They have a big house, two cars, college loans. I have no idea how they're making it on their incomes."

How I helped create a low-carbon school
By Gill Harper, Business Manager, St columb Minor
Five years ago I knew very little about climate change. I certainly had no idea how I might incorporate energy saving into our school, or any notion of how to involve school children in reducing our carbon footprint.
All that changed in 2006. While studying for a BA Hons degree in School Business Management I had a 'eureka' moment. One of the units focused on the environment, including how to reduce CO2 emissions, and introduce Education Sustainable Development (ESD) in our schools. I was immediately hooked.
I was so intrigued that I based my dissertation on how to become an Eco-School, and in 2007, with the support of the British Council on its work-shadowing Comenius project, I spent a week visiting schools in Slovenia that had achieved the National Eco-Schools Green Flag Award.
These schools were ahead of the game on lots of aspects of sustainability – particularly recycling, though less so on saving energy – at that time they had limited renewable energy systems installed in Slovenia and no plans to install solar photovoltaic (PV) panels at their schools. I was particularly struck by one school which had worked with a local company to make beautiful dishes made from recycled glass. Some of the dishes had been sold to raise funds for the school, while others were on display. The art work was stunning!
When I returned to the UK I wrote an action plan for my own school, St Columb Minor Academy, a large primary academy based in the heart of St Columb Minor village, near Newquay in Cornwall. I set out ways in which our school of 480 pupils could become more sustainable. This included looking at energy, waste and developing global links with schools in other countries to share learning on climate change.
Read more>
This is an extract of an article for the TES by Gill Harper, business manager at St Columb Minor Academy in Cornwall, which won an Ashden School Award in 2010 for its work to build an energy-saving culture in the school. She is now a mentor for Ashden's LESS CO2 sustainable schools programme.

Spring Fashion 2016: The Social Media Outlets That Match This Season's Trends
It's time to be real: now that the Oscars are over and award season has gone quietly into that dark night, we have nothing left but look towards the future. And, like, thank goodness. Winter is almost officially behind us, which means we can shed a few layers and be left with only 16, leaving us feeling lighter and leaner and decked out in florals.
So, because none of us can possibly handle another straightforward spring guide (you're welcome), we've combined our two favourite things: 1) spring-centric clothing, and 2) social media. First, because I keep buying pieces that aren't sweaters, and also because I spent the last 20 minutes trying to figure out how to use Snapchat.
Because if this winter of our discontent taught us anything, in times of bad weather and being too cold to leave one's home, social media always delivers. So, here's what each social media outlet would be if they were clothes.
Social Media Outlet: Twitter It's like this: Twitter can be amazing (like bomber jackets by Fendi, pictured, and Rag and Bone), or it can be something you need to shut down for a while because come on, seriously. (Case in point: Versace, I'm sure you meant well, but this isn't a bomber, you know?) Ultimately, Twitter's landscape is vast. It's reach is extensive. It, like Ryan Atwood in "The OC", is whatever you want it to be. And that means it can either be a unique take on a modern classic, or it can be something fundamentally upsetting and arguably incorrect. Just like a bomber jacket, bless us everyone.
Social Media Outlet: Snapchat Like sequins themselves, Snapchat is wonderful and exciting and super intimidating (sometimes). But that's the thing about both: they're totally doable and can work for everybody. (And I say this as someone who just Googled, "How do I get Snapchat trophies?" — and I still don't know.) You can wear sequins traditionally — as seen in collections Calvin Klein or Anthony Vaccarello — or you can wear pants that look like broken glass, as per Loewe (pictured). One is a filter that makes colours seem brighter, the other are the animated hearts I'm still sure how to apply despite really wanting to. And both are just fine.
Social Media Outlet: Facebook What are we super-familiar with, kind of over sometimes, but still continue to embrace? Facebook — and slip dresses, which have come back in droves, courtesy of collections by Givenchy, Rag and Bone, and even Zara. And like Zuckerberg's baby, slip dresses in 2016 have experienced a bit of an overhaul: pieces are lacy, sheer, and a little more experimental than their mid-nineties counterparts. Think of them like the revamped "like" button in that we will use them but wax poetic about the days of old statuses.
Social Media Outlet: Instagram Arguably, some of these can fall under the sequins umbrella — but when you think of how often you've seen Snapchats show up on Instagram, this makes sense. But where sequins (and Snaps) are all fun, all the time, Instagram is a little more polished, a little more curated. Which, when you see dresses by Vetements or Maison Margiela, you can see how. Can everything still be fun and a little messy and all-over-the-place? Of course: but when something's posted permanently versus for less than 24 hours, we all tend to opt for something a little crisper.
Social Media Outlet: Tinder All I am saying is that Tinder is really for one specific purpose (and okay, sure, you may be the exception to the rule, but I'm just gauging my opinion on the messages my friends have shown me). So when it comes to Netflix and Chilling, you may as well dress appropriately. Read: in two-piece, expensive pyjamas, as seen at Dolce & Gabbana. Which, admittedly, are supposed to be regular clothes — so really, how you choose to interpret this suggestion is entirely up to you.
Social Media Outlet: Linkedin Okay, I'll put it this way. LinkedIn is the Elephant's Graveyard of social media, and whenever I get a notification, years after deactivating my account, I want to scream into the night. So that being said, few trends evoke LinkedIn's connection to the past like the Victorian resurgence, as we saw on the Alexander McQueen runway. Bonus points if you add a parasol.
The obsession with replicating Kylie Jenner's lips got a little out of hand in 2015. Despite releasing her sold out Lip Kit by Kylie, we hope to see fewer Kylie Jenner lip challenges and more people embracing their natural pout.
Micro bags cropped up on several runways including Fendi and also on the list of coveted items from fashion bloggers like The Blonde Salad. So it's hard to deny a trend that was so heavily featured. However, the extreme mini-ness of the bag looks undeniably odd against an actual human. Given a bag that's hard pressed to carry a set of keys, it would seem this trend loses points based on practicality reasons as well.
The Man Repeller mused that 2015 might have been the year that killed suede and we entirely agree with these sentiments. It's true what they say, it's entirely possible to have too much of a good thing and what was once a great little trend has become commonplace. If you love your new suede skirt, by all means, wear it but in moderation.
Contouring has been a thing for some time but 2015 has to be the year you just couldn't escape the technique, and all the iterations that came with it (ie. clown contouring). For the most part, heavy contouring is highly visible in natural light and no good makeup artist would ever recommend the look for every day wear.
Music festival fashion is a hot fashion topic every year but it seems to have failed to evolve much over time. The typical festival uniform consists of a fringe tank top, denim cutoffs and a floral crown, which most festival revelers are content to stick with. We hope to see the festival look reborn in 2016 minus the overdone staples we've become accustomed to.
Dressy sweatpants were on top of the world this year. Every retailer and brand created their own iteration of the popular trend using high-end fabrics and luxe details. Its widespread appeal made it okay to don a pair in a board meeting paired with a blazer. Wearing dressy sweatpants to anything and everything is a bit of a stretch and hopefully 2016 will bring back more structured styles.
The sheer dress also known as the naked dress garnered numerous headlines in 2015. It was daring, stylish and refused to be denied. Flesh coloured dresses with strategically placed embellishments were even made available to the masses with brands like For Love and Lemons becoming popular for their naked dresses. Trends as bold as this one tend to have a time limit and it could be time to let a new dress have its 15 minutes of fame.
Due to extreme inflexibility, one of 2015's biggest shoe trends is actually quite dangerous to walk in. The flatform has been around for a few seasons, making its rounds on the runways. This is another trend that could be described as an acquired taste and won't be missed too much by the general public.
When Sienna Miller introduced her light pink locks, many were enamoured with the whimsical beauty trend. However, pastel coloured hair has been done to death over the last year and a half. Every celebrity under the sun, including Kylie Jenner, Julianne Hough and Hilary Duff gave it a go, making the trend less and less original.
At first glance, plays on designer logos are cute in a novelty sort of way. The Céline logo was one of the most popular logos to receive the fashion pun treatment. Everyone enjoys a good joke but this is one trend that should be worn sparingly in 2016.

Steven Cohen, a Real American Hero
I sat down to watch Frontline's latest episode, To Catch a Trader, the other night. As a man of massive amounts of money, some of which was under the management of SAC Capital, I was curious to see what our communist public broadcaster had to say. I was highly disappointed. I will have to call father to inform the Koch brothers that their investments in the Proletariat Broadcasting Corporation are being squandered by socialists. Is not starving this broadcasting beast of its funds a way to make sure that whatever it broadcasts is under the auspices of the nation's
plutocrats philanthropists?
I always thought that Wall Street hired the best and the brightest from the best schools in the country, and therefore the world. Imagine my surprise when, in this documentary, many of these guys are using a very easily bugged technology to make statements about illegal activities. I was flabbergasted, to say the least! What the hell are these geniuses doing talking about illegal activity on the telephone? Donald Longueuil almost got away as well, as he managed to disperse his hard drives into various garbage trucks throughout the city. Then he picks up a telephone and makes a call in which he describes what he just did! What the hell?
Steven Cohen, founder of SAC Capital, was the only bright bulb in the entire episode. He stated clearly that the phrase "insider trading" is open to interpretation. Of course it is. Why is PBS so pedantic? Frontline's examples of insider trading included some guy (with questionable taste in glasses) going to clubs and restaurants and talking to people. As far as I know, anyone can strike up a conversation in a club. Are we not allowed to trade based on a conversation that took place at a social event? Anybody else could have asked the same question. What is the problem with that? As if that is not ridiculous enough, they show a guy who received a call (again with the damn telephones) from someone he did not even know. How is that insider at all? If a random person you do not know calls you and whispers you some actionable information, that is not inside information, that is God's good grace falling upon you. And what kind of fool thinks whispering into the phone is a way to elude the phone tap?
Frontline's whole case against Cohen is that he did not memorize a subsection of a subsection of a multi-paged law. Oh well, lock the guy up and feed him to the lions.
Then Frontline has some guy from sales talk about insider trading. Oh give me a break.
Here is some advice for my good friend Steven. My advice does not come cheap as I am not a cheap prostitute like Winnie Jiau and I am not interested in cheesecake or live lobsters. Fire all these useless fools and charge me the usual 2% for assets under management and 20% on gains, instead of your 3/50, and I will incorporate a system that is tamper proof. I mean for all the money you charge, just stick a fax machine on every trader's desk. Have the expert fax a nondescript document. When the trader receives this document, he turns on his shortwave radio. The expert then sends his message through a numbers station (since it goes over the public airwaves, it is available to anyone - so not insider at all). Have the key to decipher the code be dependent on a series of other numbers. Add the previous day's close on several exchanges, the day's date, and anything else easily obtainable. The last two digits are the key that will be used. Good luck to any stupid "journalist" trying to figure out what is going on. Just hire some cryptographers and ham radio operators if it is too much for your traders to handle. Then there is always tor or using dead drops like spies do. Who will say anything? You have a lot of sensitive and proprietary information you need to communicate to others. Nothing wrong with that.
Steve, you deserve better than this nonsense. Also, talk to the Kochs. How did they allow this communist claptrap to air? They spend good money on PBS to make sure the country is glued to British soap operas.
I love how PBS tries to make Steven Cohen into a villain, yet their very own quiz suggests that the phrase "material nonpublic information" is open to interpretation.

I failed the quiz by the way. Nice to know Billy and his ilk are drafting laws in such a way that they can get away with anything. As for SAC, they got away with a fine. Steve is still free. Lovely.

A Multivariate Pure-Jump Model With Multi-Factorial Dependence Structure
In this work we propose a new approach to build multivariate pure jump processes. We introduce linear and nonlinear dependence, without restrictions on marginal properties, by imposing a multi-factorial structure separately on both positive and negative jumps. Such a new approach provides higher flexibility in calibrating nonlinear dependence than in other comparable Lévy models in the literature. Using the notion of multivariate subordinator, this modeling approach can be applied to the class of univariate Lévy processes which can be written as the difference of two subordinators. A common example in the financial literature is the variance gamma process, which we extend to the multivariate (multi-factorial) case. The model is tractable and a straightforward multivariate simulation procedure is available. An empirical analysis documents an accurate multivariate fit of stock index returns in terms of both linear and nonlinear dependence. An example of multi-asset option pricing emphasizes the importance of the proposed multivariate approach.
