NHL rejects player's offer; talks suspended
Sportsbooks - Online Sportsbook, Casino & Racebook All RSS Feeds
New York, NY (Sportsbooks) - The NHL rejected the players' most recent offer for a collective bargaining agreement on Thursday, causing talks between the two sides to be suspended indefinitely.
The two sides had met for nearly 20 hours over the past two days and reportedly exchanged proposals Wednesday in an effort to end the lockout, which is approaching the three-month mark.
The NHLPA then submitted its counteroffer on Thursday, but the owners quickly shot it down.
"Regrettably, we have been unable to close the divide on some critical issues that we feel are essential to the immediate and long-term health of our game," Winnipeg Jets chairman and governor Mark Chipman said in a statement. "While I sense there are some members of the players association that understand our perspective on these issues, clearly there are many that don't. I am deeply disappointed that we were unable to bring this extremely unfortunate situation to a successful conclusion and I wish to apologize to our fans and sponsors for letting them down."
The current work stoppage, which began Sept. 16, has already forced the cancellation of regular-season games through Dec. 14, as well as the Winter Classic and All-Star Weekend.

Looking Ahead to Next Week
By WXedge Staff on December 6, 2012, 5:10pm Last modified: December 7, 2012, 9:25am

Meteorologists Erika Martin and Quincy Vagell look ahead to what could be a stormy period as we move into next week.
A storm system is expected to bring showers and periods of rain over the next several days, but they say the rain could end as a touch of snow late Monday or Tuesday.
Beyond that, the pattern gets complicated as computer model forecasts diverge. Some show a storm system developing east of New England later next week. Others hint towards a possible shift in the pattern as we approach next weekend.

Chateau Labegorce Margaux 2003
Chateau Labegorce - Bordeaux - France - Margaux
Professional Wine Reviews for Chateau Labegorce Margaux 2003
The blended red wines of Bordeaux have gone down in history as the finest wines every produced, with collectors and many of the general public still eagerly anticipating the wineries of this region's new releases to this day. The secret to Bordeaux's monumental success has been their careful blending of high quality grape varietals, controlled and protected by French law. In Bordeaux, wineries can only produce red wines using a blend of two or more of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec or Carménere grape varietals, with the latter two becoming less and less commonly seen on bottles. The vast majority of Bordeaux red wines use Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot grape varietals, boosted by a little Petit Verdot. These three grapes compliment each other beautifully as they age in oak, rounded out their tannins and the high astringency of the Sauvignon, and resulting in wonderfully complex flavors and aromas.
The Bordeaux region of France is possibly the most famous and widely respected wine region in the world. Known primarily for its exceptional blended red wines, made most commonly with Cabernet Sauvigon, Merlot and Petit Verdot grape varietals, it also produces superb dry white wines (both blended and single variety), alongside the highly esteemed sweet wines of Sauternes. All of these wine types use a careful mix of traditional wine-making methods alongside modern techniques, as well as more experimental and unorthodox practices such as turning their grapes over to the noble rot which intensifies the flavors in the sweet wines. Bordeaux benefits greatly from its position amongst wide river basins, and the cooling Atlantic breezes which blow across the rolling vineyards which cover this region.
Year in, year out, France enjoys its prestigious reputation as the producer of the finest wines in the world. With a wine making history which spans several thousand years and owes its expertise to the Romans, it comes as little surprise that this most highly esteemed of the Old World wine countries continues to impress and enchant both novices and experts to this day. Despite the rise in quality of wines from neighboring European countries, not to mention the New World, the French wine industry continues to boom, with up to eight billion bottles being produced in recent years. However, France prides itself on always putting quality before quantity, and the wide range in fine produce is a testament to the dedication and knowledge of the wineries across the country. Indeed, from rich and complex reds to light and aromatic white wines, French wines are as varied and interesting as they are enjoyable to drink, making this country a firm favorite for wine lovers across the globe.
The appellation of Margaux in Bordeaux's Médoc is historically one of the world's most important and highly respected wine regions. Margaux has been producing wines of the most extraordinary quality for centuries, and has a history of prestige and fame brought about by the supreme flavors and aromas carried within its deep, beautiful and elegant blended red wines. The wineries of Margaux benefit enormously from the hot sunshine the region receives, as well as the mineral rich gravelly soils the Gironde river deposits. This all allows the wine-makers to grow red Bordeaux grapes of the highest quality, which express all of the best features of their precious terroir, and result in wonderful wines of real distinction, superb flavor and a wide bouquet of complex, elegant aromas.

Falling somewhere between Cool Hand Luke and Empire Of The Sun, Nagisa Ôshima's serene POW drama uses David Bowie's alien aura well, as his arrival at a Japanese internment camp upsets captors and prisoners. It's occasionally overwrought, but Tom Conti's rueful performance gives heart to an intelligent, moving study of humanity in an inhuman situation. The restoration is a little soft; extras include a contemporary Making Of and an excerpt about Takeshi Kitano, who makes an early bow.

JA - IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering
Analyses a multiround flow control algorithm that attempts to minimize the time required to multicast a message to a group of recipients and receive responses directly from each group member. Such a flow control algorithm may be necessary because the hurry of responses to the multicast can overflow the buffer space of the process that issued the multicast. The condition that each recipient directly respond to the multicast prevents the use of reliable multicast protocols based on software combining trees or negative-acknowledgments. The flow control analysed algorithm directs the responding processes to hold their responses for some period of time, called the backoff time, before sending them to the originator. The backoff time depends on the number of recipients that respond, the originator's available buffer space and buffer service time distribution, and the number of times that the originator is willing to retransmit its message. This paper develops an approximate analysis of the service time distribution of the limited-buffer preemptive queuing process that occurs within the protocol processing layers of a multiprogrammed operating system. It then uses this model to calculate multicast backoff times. The paper reports experimental verification of the accuracy of this service time model and discusses its application to the multicast flow control problem.

Allover lace A-line gown with beaded motif detail Style WG9821 119 120
Amazing! When I originally found this dress I had seen it online. The dress captured my eye right away because I was going for a victorian/old european look, and to me this was THE ONE. I got to david's bridal and was completely nervous since this was my first time ever trying on a wedding dress. My consultant was very helpful, and I had a few other dresses on my wish list. So after trying on about 6 different dresses (my dream one being the 3rd) I put the one I loved back on and I was sold!! It's simply stunning and I can't wait for my fiance to see me in it! =0) January 8, 2011
My Dress! Ok first off let me start by saying that the only reason I would not recommend this to a friend is because I BOUGHT IT!!!!! :) It is a beautiful dress that accentuates curves and elongates a petite frame. The lace is gorgeous and the beading is just amazing. I will be wearing this dress in an outdoor wedding in the fall and i can't wait for it to come in so I can put it back on!!!!! January 6, 2011
Romantic and Elegant I bought this dress on my second trip to DB. I had pictures of dresses that I wanted to try on, after trying on maybe six dresses I was still at a loss. I'm the kind of person who would know when I find the dress. I loved it when I tried it on, but I was so skeptical after having tried on the other dresses. While looking at myself in the mirror one of my favorite romantic songs began to play, "Runaway" by the Corrs. I started to cry and knew that it was the one. I am what I consider to be a traditional, old-fashioned girl and this dress is perfect. The lace and beading are romantic and the shape of the dress is fantastic! It was almost 150.00 over my budget, but I will find a way. Ever since I left the store I can't wait until my dress comes in so I can try it on! All I want to do is wear it, one day definitely won't be enough. As a lot of people have been saying, the picture doesn't do the dress justice at all. I would not have thought it was the same dress. I hope this helps anyone who is considering trying it on, do it! January 2, 2011
wow factor dress I walked in DB for my first time to try on wedding dresses. This was the second dress I tried, and I was absolutely floored. I only tried on 4 dresses total, because I knew this was the one. It is very flattering, and I am even having a corset added to the back of the dress to make it customized. This dress is simple, elegant, and nothing short of amazing! It's very slimming and smooths out the curves. By far, the best purchase I have ever made! December 27, 2010

Wayne Unser
|This article may be written from a fan's point of view, rather than a neutral point of view. (January 2014)
|Wayne Unser
|First appearance
|"Seeds" (episode 1.02)
|Created by
|Kurt Sutter
|Portrayed by
|Dayton Callie
|Former Chief of the Charming Police Department, former Marine, Associate of Sons of Anarchy M.C.
|Della Unser (divorced)
|Two unnamed daughters
Chief Wayne Unser is a fictional character on the FX television series Sons of Anarchy, played by Dayton Callie.[1][2] He was the Chief of the Charming Police Department, but is also corrupt in that he deals with the Sons of Anarchy whom he sees as a benefit to the town, because the Sons successfully keep drugs and violence out of Charming, and protect the population from many other unwanted things like ruthless developers, such as Jacob Hale Jr.
Unser is a native of the small Northern Californian town of Charming and is in his 50s. He was a U.S. Marine and served during the Vietnam War. When he returned, he joined the police force and is now Chief of the Charming Police Department. He also owned Unser Shipping, a trucking company, though he later sold it. He is "married to a dark-skinned woman" named Della, and they have two daughters. He is also suffering from colon cancer, and uses marijuana for pain relief. He is corrupt and an ally of the Sons of Anarchy, a local motorcycle gang. However, most of the illegal activity he partakes in is beneficial for the town, as he greatly cares for its residents.
Season One[edit]
Wayne Unser has always got on well with the Sons of Anarchy during his time in charge, and even employed them as muscle at times. However, he is retiring at the end of the month because of the cancer and handing power over to his Deputy, David Hale, who is overtly suspicious of the SOA and will almost definitely begin an investigation into the club. Unser hires the SOA to protect one of his company's shipments on its way to Mexico. However, they hijack it to send Unser a warning. Clay Morrow, their leader, threatens him to stay on for a short time longer and keep Hale off their case. If not, they will hijack any of his trucks that try to leave town. He decides to stay on for another six months.[3]
In response to a number of recent gang killings, Unser arrests Clay Morrow, Ernest Darby and Marcus Álvarez. Unser asks Darby, who leads the White supremacist Nordics gang, if he knows that Unser is married to a dark-skinned woman. When Darby gives him a snotty degrading reply, Unser hits him. He lets the gang leaders have a meeting in their cell in order to end the violence.[4] Unser is obviously angry at ATF for their actions of putting the investigation above the safety of the town residents. Unser also talks Hale into revealing that Opie is innocent and that Stahl is setting him up to be killed just because she is angry. However the info comes too late to help Donna, Opie's wife who is killed in his stead. He gives Jax and Opie Winston the keys to the cells and lets them break into his police station to free two of the gang's women who had been arrested.
Season Two[edit]
In Season Two we see the more heroic side of Unser. He is the one to find Gemma after her brutal rape. Initially, he and Tara are the only people Gemma had trusted with this information. He covered for her by making Gemma's injuries appear to come from a car wreck with the help of Tara. Unser showed his deep fatherly type of affection for Gemma whom he has known since she was twelve. Unser seemed to be shocked and saddened when he learned that Hale may have been working with the Aryans. He personally delivered a message to Ethan Zobelle: 'Charming is a special place. It chooses its occupants. That the people that are wrong for the town disappear.' When Ethan asks if that is a threat Unser doesn't answer.
He eventually told Deputy Hale about Gemma's secret to convince Hale to not side with the L.O.A.N. and Zobelle. He also confessed to Gemma that his wife left him. He continued to smoke medical marijuana and take medication for his cancer.
As season two progressed, Unser became more involved with SAMCRO, wanting to get rid of the L.O.A.N. just as much as the bikers did. He provided a lot of vital information to Clay, which allowed the Sons to plan ambushes and surveillance on the Aryans. In the episode "The Culling," Unser officially made David Hale the acting police chief and began minimizing his own duties. In the season finale he provided SAMCRO with vital details about Zobelle's release and even allowed the bikers to use one of his trucks to ambush Zobelle's convoy. After Gemma was framed for the murder of Edmond Hayes, she called Wayne for help. The two are last seen fleeing Charming in Unser's police cruiser, their destination unknown.
Season Three[edit]
With Gemma in hiding, Unser returned to Charming with a plan to retire and turn the police department over to Deputy Chief David Hale. However, Hale's death at Half-Sack's funeral forced Unser to stay on as Chief of Police in Charming. Like many Charming residents, the actions at Half-Sack's funeral planted seeds of doubt in Unser's mind regarding the Sons of Anarchy and their place in Charming. Having seized upon these doubts, Jacob Hale then approached Unser, telling him that SAMCRO could no longer keep violence out of Charming and that he would support Charming Police if Unser would support Hale in Charming's mayoral race. Unser later confronted Clay Morrow about his fears and doubts for Charming, telling Clay that knowing that Charming would be protected allowed him to sleep at night despite knowing that he had been purposely ignoring SAMCRO's illegal activities. However, he was no longer sure that SAMCRO could keep up their end of the deal. Clay assured Unser that the MC could keep peace in Charming, but when Earnst Darby informs Jacob Hale that he'd witnessed SAMCRO selling illegal medication at a clinic near Charming, a raid on SAMCRO's headquarters was quickly organized and Unser did not tip off the club (Darby told Hale that he believed that SAMCRO was probably stashing OxyContin at their headquarters, although what he actually witnessed was HIV medication being sold to the clinic). Following the raid, Clay announced that Unser was "dead" to him. Unser was able to catch Gemma when she broke out of police custody, but she called his bluff, knowing that he could never hurt her which ultimately led to Gemma, Clay, Jax, and Tig escaping from St. Thomas hospital. His relationship with SAMCRO continues to fall apart. In later episodes he showing more anger towards the club. When Jacob Hale hires Salazar to scare Lumpy into selling his gym, Salazar gets carried away and nearly kills Lumpy. Unser believes that it is Mayan retaliation, because of the message that Salazar left. SAMCRO learns of this and tries to tell Unser that it wasn't the Mayans and to investigate Jacob Hale but he ignores it. When Oswald tells Unser that the Sons of Anarchy and the Mayans were good with each other, Unser still has doubts. When Oswald tells Unser to see what investors are buying up land on the block of Lumpy's Gym, Unser finds something he doesn't like, confirming what SAMCRO told him about Hale in the first place. After he learns of a unanimous vote to let the County Sheriff's Office take over he confronts Jacob Hale and Hale shows that he does not care about the local P.D. The next day Unser tells SAMCRO that they were right about Hale and decides to work with them to get Salazar, who has kidnapped Tara, because it is the only way to prove that Hale is dirty. In the finale, Unser (no longer Chief of Police) participates in the Jimmy O/June Stahl murder by leading Stahl's backup away from the scene with a false tip that Jimmy's men are waiting in ambush up the highway while SAMCRO carries out the deed. Kozik then punches him to cover up his involvement.
Season Four[edit]
In the beginning of Season Four he is down on his luck after his wife divorced him and he sold his trucking business. He is seen living in a trailer on the outskirts of town, mulling over his former life and drinking heavily. He is later shown attending Opie's wedding. He is later contacted by both Clay and Gemma separately telling him that Tara has letters from John Teller, and each one ask for his help to get them without involving the other part, while Gemma is successful in peeking at few of them with some of Unser's help, she does not read the whole content. After this Unser himself manages to steal copies Tara made, and read them. This greatly angered Unser as he was shocked about the truth Clay hid even from him, not knowing that in fact John Teller wanted the club to go legal ways instead of gun-business. When Gemma visited him later, he lied to her regarding the letters, implying neither of them did at the time know of what truly happened. Knowing that Clay would be looking for the letters and by extension Tara, he decided to report to Roosevelt an anonymous threat to Tara, which he didn't go into detail. To make things real, he wrote a death threat letter and left it in Tara's car, thus putting her into constant survilleance by the club, possibly as a way to make sure Clay could not kill her, as when Clay got notice of the letter he was displeased and angered with what he had done telling him to not "get in his way". Unser later reported to Margaret and had Tara removed from the Hospital. Eventually Unser is called by Gemma after she finds Piney's dead body, Unser knowing that Clay is out of control, wants to report Clay but is convinced to put the blame on Sonora, which he helps in doing. However after Gemma is badly beaten by Clay he has a change of mind and confronts both Clay about this and tells a devastated Opie the truth, encouraging him to kill Clay.
Season Five[edit]
Unser is seen at the beginning of the season watching over Gemma and her house in the immediate aftermath of her and Clay's separation. At the end of the premiere episode, he is ambushed and beaten by three disguised men, who break in and burglarise the house. He later meets again with Roosevelt stating that he didn't think the break-ins in Charming were black retaliation, as the beating didn't "feel black" but like inexperienced white. He states he will be doing his own personal investigation of the break-ins and is later seen questioning the victims. He is seen again apologizing for the death of Roosevelt's wife Rita and gets angry at Gemma for only using people when she needs them and states she has no friends. In "Toad's Wild Ride" he is visited by Jax and Bobby. It's revealed he lost his land and is parked on the premises of Unser Trucking in exchange for working security. He shows them all the evidence he has collected and the three conclude the three Nomads recently patched into SAMCRO: Gogo, Greg, and Frankie are responsible for the break-ins and Rita's death, and Clay most likely put them up to it. Unser visits Gogo and Greg and notices the long scratches on Gogo's neck. He is later visited by Clay and the two discuss their relationship and the ties between them, when Gogo and Greg break down the door. Unser shoots Gogo with a double-barreled shotgun and Clay kills Greg with a shot to the head from his pistol. He covers the killings up to hide Clay's involvement and is visited by the police and Gemma, who he makes amends with. Later he is shown to have been kicked off the premises of Unser Trucking as "double murder is bad for business" and resorts to parking his Airstream on Teller Morrow grounds. He is later asked by Jax to research a former U.S. Marshal investigating Tara.
Season Six[edit]
Unser is still living on the Teller Morrow grounds. He is jokingly known as "Uncle Touchy," as he willingly helps Jax and Gemma with the boys. When Clay kills a member of a Neo-Nazi group, Unser is attacked by Neo-Nazis who carve a swastika into his chest. He is treated by Tara and he worries about what would have happened if he had the boys. He visits Tara at St. Thomas and finds her in a meeting with Wendy and Lowenn. He knows what she is doing involves the boys and offers to help. She takes him up on the favor by asking him to get a restraining order from a city clerk friend. She then files it against Gemma after making it seem like she caused her to have a miscarriage. Unser is shocked by this stating "it breaks my heart you had to become something so bad to do what you thought was right." He states he won't tell Gemma, but he can't help her anymore. He later helps Jax find the truth of the matter by questioning Lowen, but makes him promise no one will get hurt. In the season finale, Unser is the only one who was present during Clay's proper burial. Unser reveals to Gemma, falsely, that Tara has taken the children and will testify against The Sons, inadvertently causing Gemma to attack and kill Tara.
Link to Gemma Teller Morrow[edit]
Unser knew Gemma from a young age. He often refers to Gemma as "leaving Charming when she was sixteen and showing up 10 years later with a baby and a biker gang". There is obviously a relationship between Unser and Gemma that runs deeper than the typical small community familiarity. In the season two finale Unser after picking Gemma up from a crime scene was seen holding Gemma's hand and asks "where are we going?" Gemma replied, "I don't know". The two then drove out of the Charming city limits in his Police Cruiser. In season 6, Unser revealed to Gemma that he is indeed in love with her.

I knew it was only a matter of time before the rumor mill started churning out stories about Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy calling it quits. But it pains me nonetheless.
A new report is claiming that Jason and Bethenny's relationship has gotten really bad, and Jason's reached his breaking point. Recently, he, allegedly, stormed out of their brand new $5 million loft -- with daughter Bryn in tow -- and shacked up at nearby hotel to avoid spending another minute with his reality star wife. A source claims that Jason's over Bethenny's diva ways, saying, "He can't take it anymore, so he's been doing everything on his own."
Really, guys? It's come to this already? You haven't even been together that long! The heck?
I honestly don't know who to believe in this whole mess. I mean, on one hand, Jason does seem like a really nice guy -- and you never see this alter-ego of his Bethenny (constantly) speaks of. On the other, Bethenny constantly speaks of this alter-ego. There has to be some truth to it, right? I mean, I certainly don't think the guy is a monster, but he can't possibly be smiles and roses all the time. If he is, then I guess Bethenny is flat-out nutso-burgers.
More from The Stir: Bethenny Frankel's Marriage Doesn't Have a Prayer If She Keeps This Up
Regardless of who's right and who's wrong, though, there was a point when they were really good together -- cute, in fact. How could they have gone from that to ... this in such a short period of time? It doesn't make any sense. Reality TV has to be the thing to blame.
Since the beginning, Bethenny and Jason's relationship has been documented on TV. Every aspect of it. Their courting. Their wedding planning. Their wedding. The birth of their child. And now the aftermath. How could they possibly function as a normal couple with cameras shoved in their face 24:7?
Look, it sounds like both these crazy kids have things they need to change about themselves -- it can't all be one person. But I do think Bethenny needs to cut Jason a little bit of slack. It literally is all about her, all the time. I don't think many people could handle that -- especially her.
It'd be a damn shame if B and J broke up -- especially for their adorable little daughter. Hopefully they'll both just get over themselves and do what's right for their family.
Would you be bummed if Bethenny and Jason broke up?

a normal guy like him cant handle a loose cannon screwball like Bethany. He should loosen up a bit though, things will level out after the reality fame fades
I think Bethenny needs to get over herself. I love her husband and if she doesn't work to save her marriage versus saving her reality tv fame, then she sure has the wrong priorities in my opinion...
I don't believe one word of this gossip. Say whatever you want about these people; they aren't breaking up because neither one of them are quitters. Not gonna happen. I'm not sure it's a great idea to broadcast your relationship the way that they do; but how much are they really showing us?? It is a bit lop sided with Bethenny having worked for the fame, but I don't see them calling it quits after just 2 years.
I hope Carol is right. Even if he did leave for the night, Jason seems like the type of committed guy to keep trying no matter what and Bethenny will too just to say she did because he said she wouldn't. Whether that's the right or wrong reason doesn't matter because she's in therapy and she'll get to the right reason hopefully....

Lady with Wine Glass
Oil on canvas
Inv. No. 1015
37.5 × 28.7 cm
As enigmatic as they are elegant, ter Borch's compositions were novel in Dutch genre painting. A young woman sits at a table before a closed canopy; she has pushed the carpet table-cover to one side to make room for her writing utensils and a letter. She drinks a glass of wine as though in response – of joy or sorrow? – to a letter she has written or one she has received and must now answer. The painter leaves the question unanswered and concentrates on the glowing fabrics of the bodice and the chair as well as the sparkling reflections on the pitcher and writing tools. Embedded in warm shades of grey, the tonal values develop a life of their own – further testimony to ter Borch's mastery.

If you are unemployed and in Georgia, you could see that unemployment check get smaller, and soon.Thanks to sequestration cuts, the federal Emergency Unemployment Compensation will be reduced 10.7% as of March 31.That's the weekly checks some folks get after they have exhausted their state unemployment benefits, which last up to 19 weeks.So what does that mean for folks searching for a job? If you get the maximum amount of federal benefits, $330, You will get cut back about $35.So your weekly check will only be $295.That money makes a difference for folks like Crystal Brooks."It's hard to manage.," explained Brooks. "I'm a single mother. You get benefits for single mothers, it helps me manage my day to day schedule as far as payments and things."Once again, this has no effect on state unemployment benefits, only the emergency benefits you are eligible for after those have run out.The news isn't getting better for the Georgia Department of Labor. The department's Federal Administrative Funding Grant is getting reduced as well. That could drop by $3 million or more. That grant is used to pay the cost of giving out those unemployment benefits. The department says it's too soon to determine how that cut could affect their day to day operations or staff.

That's the case made in a new study by a trio of Princeton University researchers, who say they've found evidence that people who can't perform basic math calculations are more likely to default on their mortgages.
First, they tracked down 300 homeowners who took out subprime mortgages in New England in 2006 and 2007. Then, the researchers did some digging to find out more about their financial situation, including their household income, age, education, marital status, and credit score.
Then the real fun began.
They asked them five simple math questions, which "got more and more complicated," study author Stephan Meier, an associate professor at Columbia Business School, told Phys.org. "The simplest one was: There is a sofa that costs $300 when it's full price, and it's on sale for half the price. How much is it on sale?"
Another question asked: "T here's a disease, and the probability of getting the disease is 10 percent. How many people out of 1,000 got the disease?"
The study found that 20% of people who scored low scores on the math questions wound up in foreclosure, compared to just 7% of people who scored high.
Interestingly the study also found that a person's credit score carried little weight when it came to predicting their ability to meet mortgage payments.
The researchers expected to find evidence that people with poor math skills would have a harder time understanding the terms of loan agreements, thus leaving them more likely to sign up for a bad loan; but it turns out the real reason they were more likely to default was because they had a harder time dealing with other personal finance issues, like dealing with a lost job or depleted savings.
Obviously, it takes two to tango, and there's no denying that the subprime mortgage lending fiasco played a large role in the housing crisis. But there's something to be said about consumers who put in the time to learn the ins and outs of personal finances early enough to prepare themselves for disasters before they strike.
Check out the study, "Numerical ability predicts mortgage default," by Kristopher Gerardi, Lorenz Goette, and Stephan Meie here: www.pnas.org/cgi/doi/10.1073/pnas.1220568110

Barbie got a new 'do in 1961 through 1967 with the introduction of the Bubblecut Barbie, a very popular hairstyle in the 1960's thanks to First Lady Jackie Kennedy. Barbie's bubble hairstyle started tight and small and over time, became thicker and fuller. She was issued wearing a red one helenca swimsuit (with the exception of the White Ginger who wore the black and white swimsuit) and was offered in ten different hair colors which included varying shades of Blonde, Brunette and Titian.
