Economics curriculum
You can either major in Economics at Purdue, complete a concentration, or for non-management students complete a minor in Economics. Our top students are invited to apply to our Economics Honors program.
Within Economics coursework, you can study diverse topics such as inflation, business cycles, international trade, tax policy, energy costs, agriculture, urban problems, the banking system, the structure of industry, crime and the legal system, labor unions, antitrust policy, regulation, public finance, economic development, and pollution.
To major in Economics you will complete a Bachelor of Science degree with a major in Economics. Economics majors have a required concentration in either management, computer science, mathematics or statistics. You'll also take more general classes, things like English, math and history.
Your first two years you will be in the "lower division." Once you successfully complete the classes in the lower division and meet grade requirements, you'll be admitted to the upper division.
Upper division courses will be noticeably more demanding in the areas of economics, statistics, and business. You'll take courses in human resources, management information systems, and law. Upper division is rigorous to ensure that when you graduate you will be ready to succeed in the workplace.
Students who major in Industrial Management, Accounting, or Management can complete a concentration in Economics. This means that some of the credit hours designated for electives will be used for economics classes. Typically a concentration will take 12 credit hours. Your choices help tailor your education to your particular strengths and interests.
If, for example, you are a Management major planning to work in a global investment firm, you might choose Economic courses in international trade, antitrust and regulation, microeconomics, and econometrics. These classes would strengthen your depth of knowledge and help you in your career.
You may complete multiple concentrations. Talk with your advisor to find out more.
Economics Honors is a undergraduate program designed for high-achieving students. It frequently, although not always, appeals to students on track to become researchers and professors. You will want to talk with your advisor if you are interested.

-- BCS national championship many fans have been complaining about how -- -- spring's college seems.
It seems that didn't get -- ball game always found someone who has a simple and easy way to rank these teams.
Joining me now on the phone from Miami is Eugene -- -- young president.
-- ETL associates.
Eugene get out their first what exactly you do you represent players in the NF ballot that cracked.
That is correct we have an NFL agency based out of New York City.
We -- presented -- but.
So and so how these bowl games or let's just say the national championship for example this is taking place in Miami tonight.
It -- these -- on the big screen prime time.
You know what do for the schools itself do you feel.
Brooke army is going to be gonna bring in a tremendous amount of -- -- each program.
Being in Alabama Notre -- gets to extort programs to legendary -- in the college football.
-- and each school can't walk away with between twenty and -- -- billion dollars each.
Wow by -- in the and I -- out and it does a lot for the area in which the game is hosted in Miami where by the way just a few nights ago they hosted the orange ball.
What do you what sort of impact will this city of Miami -- from the -- Here it's eight -- hospitality and tourism industries just.
Were achieved record numbers I think over the past we -- past few days I mean they're gonna be really raking it hotels restaurants.
The orange -- with no disrespect to without Illinois.
Little less -- marquee matchup British areas so it's great that they can already orange ball up with.
Match of this nature.
Well you bring up that you bring up that idea and that northern -- university in.
Obviously a lot of people had an issue -- took issue with the fact that they made it to the orange ball over arguably much better teams.
That it -- however they did put up -- good fight I wanna say that watched that game.
They did lose but nears.
A big argument out there that says we should change the -- -- this -- yes.
Is run altogether you have an idea for that I'm guessing if playoffs.
Playoffs is one part of that I think the problem that people are having is that they do not understand how the percentages are calculated -- -- computer.
That is calculating the EPS ranking them all people -- -- percentage points.
But they don't know how you how the computer get there.
And I believe that we're -- to get support from the equation -- he'd pick in the process that and instituting a fourteen playoff.
So I'm still confused so I yes it well -- don't know how we could be CS rankings occurred but there's coaches there's win loss record there's a lot of things that -- -- doing it.
-- saying simplify this this done.
And be more specific as I think a lot of people are interested to hear what you're saying.
I think what you need yeah.
It's just make this system so easily understood by the average cost -- -- that there can be no right no bickering in these.
If they don't Peter seen in the bowl game they wanna be they're seen buying.
You have factors I think you look at won lost record that that -- -- -- breakfast schedule.
Record vs common opponent average margin of victory.
Conference in which in place and finally the name -- distributes -- subject category but the name recognition historic tradition -- football program.
And that last factor it is subjective but they have the truth is the elephant in the room is that revenue generation.
Is a major concern -- not be concerned primary concern -- -- it.
EG we take you take your -- and consideration -- it's a great ideas however somebody's always gonna be left out -- always gonna have a problem with that.

By Andrew Barksdale Staff writer
Customers of the Fayetteville Public Works Commission pay some of the lowest rates in the state for electricity, water and sewer, according to two public databases.
Among the 106 electric providers in the state, PWC's average residential retail rate of almost 10.2 cents per kilowatt-hour is 12th lowest. And the combined water and sewer bill for a typical PWC household is $9 below the median cost charged by more than 30 comparably sized utilities or cities in North Carolina.
But talk of consolidating several city and PWC offices and imposing new budget responsibilities on the city-owned utility has PWC board members worried that they will lose their distinction of having competitively low rates.
PWC General Manager Steve Blanchard said any merger proposals that would lead to higher costs and utility rates "would have to be looked at very closely before the (utility's) commissioners would agree to those type of recommendations."
City Manager Ted Voorhees downplayed those concerns.
"It's premature to draw conclusions like that," he said.
The city is paying Aberdeen consultant Allen O'Neal $100,000 to study the merger of the two organizations' finance departments, and he may be tasked to study other departments later.
The recommendations - expected by summer - could not be implemented without approval by the City Council and the PWC board, Voorhees has said.
Voorhees is more optimistic about the merger study. He said O'Neal might identify cost savings by eliminating duplication and relying on attrition in both city departments and PWC.
But Voorhees' past statements have PWC officials anxious. He has said several city departments are short-staffed, in contrast to better-manned PWC offices. He has said many of PWC's "support functions," such as finance and human resources, should be under his control because they are not essential to PWC's charter, which authorizes it to operate water and sewer plants and an electrical distribution system.
Voorhees says dozens of PWC employees could be shifted to City Hall to provide service to both organizations. Money from the city and PWC budgets, which are now separate, would contribute to those merged functions.
This month, Voorhees further alarmed PWC officials by proposing a set of guidelines that would require PWC to pay for all utility projects, such as street work, without assistance from the city budget. He wants PWC to align its personnel benefits and salaries with that of the city's, and he wants the council to have more scrutiny over PWC's capital-project plans, such as the expansion of the P.O. Hoffer water treatment plant.
The City Council, which appoints the four PWC board members, has not voted on his guidelines.
In a written response to Voorhees on March 15, Blanchard defended the utility's budgeting and personnel practices.
"The commission strives to maintain its benefit package competitive with what can be found in the utility industry in order to attract and maintain a high-quality workforce while minimizing the cost as much as possible," Blanchard wrote.
He noted that the council has annually awarded police officers higher pay raises than all other city employees for the same reasons.
The guidelines do not include another suggestion by Voorhees that would have big implications: He wants to make PWC pay the entire $180 million cost to extend sewer lines to annexed areas by 2023.
The city and PWC evenly split that cost now; homeowners pay $5,000 each. Eliminating the city's portion would help alleviate the pressures on the city budget for other services, such as transit and public safety.
But Blanchard says sewer rates would have to climb by at least 25 percent if PWC has to shoulder the entire $180 million tab. A PWC sewer customer using 5,000 gallons of water would pay about $8 more under such a steep increase, he said.
What, if any, increases PWC might have to impose on customers under the kind of changes proposed by Voorhees are not yet known.
Voorhees has said his priorities lie with the city's budget and tax levy of 45.6 cents for every $100 in property value.
"I think political leaders are working hard to try to provide value for tax dollars spent and put the least amount of pressure on tax rates, especially during a recession," he said.
According to the N.C. League of Municipalities, Fayetteville's tax levy of 45.6 cents ranks 328th highest out of more than 530 cities and towns in the state. Among the state's eight most populous cities, the average is 47.1 cents.
Comparing city tax rates does not give a complete picture: counties re-evaluate their tax bases on different schedules. After Cumberland County's revaluation in 2009, Fayetteville lowered its tax rate to the current level from 53 cents.
The utility's governing board is accustomed to operating with little oversight from the City Council, which historically has rubber-stamped the PWC budget each June. PWC gives the city about $10 million annually. The payments are in lieu of the utility having to pay property taxes if it were a private entity. The utility's assets are worth almost $1.2 billion.
Wilson Lacy, chairman of the PWC board, said any rate increases caused by consolidation would not happen overnight.
"But to replace what's used in reserves, there is no other way around it," he said.
PWC's reserves total about $80 million. PWC spokeswoman Carolyn Justice-Hinson said Friday the utility is required to keep between $73 million and $97 million in operating reserves, based on the size of its budget.
Lacy said many PWC customers cannot afford higher rates.
"The economic conditions aren't good," he said.
The PWC board voted this month to raise the base charges for water and sewer bills by $1.33 a month. PWC officials cited rising costs for operations and capital expenses.
Starting in May, a household with a combined PWC water and sewer bill will pay $50.71 a month for using 5,000 gallons of water.
By comparison, customers with Greenville Utilities Commission, a publicly chartered organization managed similarly to PWC, pay $55.85 a month for the same water usage.
The median monthly cost in the entire state is $66, according to and online database kept by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's Environmental Finance Center.
The head of a progressive, nonprofit policy group in Raleigh cautioned Fayetteville officials against placing budgetary burdens on their utility customers.
"While I sympathize with demands on city officials these days in this era of destructive federal and state budget cuts, using utility bills of residential consumers as a means of paying for unrelated public services is a terrible practice that really slams people of low income," said Rob Schofield of N.C. Policy Watch. "Property taxes are a better and fairer revenue source."
Voorhees said he is not interested in tapping into PWC's $350 million annual budget to pay for basic city services. But, he said, comparing property taxes to utility rates is philosophically unfair because people can choose to consume less.
"Customers have a lot more control over how much electricity or water they use, so people who want to conserve can pay a lower rate," he said.
Some City Council members are not anticipating the need for higher PWC rates under the budgeting and consolidation changes being sought by Voorhees.
"I don't see where it will raise the (utility) rates," Councilman Keith Bates said.
Mayor Pro Tem Jim Arp challenged claims by PWC board members that rates might have to rise.
"That's a red herring," he said. "I think consolidation will cause a decrease, because you are going to be more efficient."
Councilman Wade Fowler, the liaison to the PWC board, said he hopes the city can keep both tax and utility rates low.
"You have to balance between the two, to get what's best for the city," he said.
He, too, thinks PWC board members are jumping to conclusions.
"Everybody looks at the extreme, and I just don't think the extreme is going to happen," he said.

I've gotten an interest in the guerrilla warfare that was happening along the missouri and kansas border. Being from that area, alot of towns around me was involved in it. I went to the library and found a couple of books on it, one is "Bloody Bill Anderson" by Castel and Goodrich, another is "Quantrill's War....The life and times of William Clarke Quantrill" by Duane Schultz. I also got "Noted Guerrillas of the Warfare of the Border" by John Edwards. Has anyone read these and are they any good? I'm reading the one on Quantrill now, but not too far into it. I'd also like some suggestions on some good ones on this subject. I know, I'm pushing it for a newbie that hasn't contributed anything yet. Thanks |

Black Flag Warefare is a good one too. I will have to look on the shelf and see who the author is unless someone knows it and post. Frank and Jesse James by Ted Yeatman is also good. I will think of some more later. |

Yeah thats a good start right there. My family rode with Quantrill and marched with the Missouri Brigade so I'm pretty familar with the border war. I got too many damn books to read about... Basically me (a 19 year old) and my great uncle (71) have a rather large library. But if you really wanting to see what the border wars were like.. theres some upcoming reenactments. (Might help understand) Mahaffie Stagecoach Station in Olathe, KS April 21-22 (From what I know since my unit is sponsering it. Shelby's 5th MO will be there and also I think Quantrill's Paritsan Riders will be there I believe. I'm infantry so lol I'm left in the dust) Clinton, MO A raid on the Court house.

We all were newbies, and we all started by asking questions Second, whether you're a newbie to the Civil War in general, or just new to this board, you'll always find something to agree with, something to disagree with, a new idea to consider.

Is It Time for Alimony Reform?
By Joseph Cooper, Bonnie Berman and Paul Leary
01/30/13 - Wednesday's Topical Currents looks at the nationwide campaign for alimony reform. Most states—including Florida—haven't had a meaningful review of alimony since the 1950s. Reformers say times have changed: many women now lead the way in the workforce and are primary breadwinners. "Second Wives" bemoan that their earnings can complement the alimony paid to their new husband's former spouse. Guests/links: Alan Frisher, co-director of Florida Alimony Reform; Debbie Leff Israel, founder of Second Wives Club; and family law and divorce attorney Barry Finkel.

We purchased our house four years ago and the bathroom is really outdated and is in need of help. The tub and shower wall were painted. After four years of wear the paint is pealing off and always looks dirty. The vanity and mirror are very old. We would love to have a bathroom that we are not imbarrased to let people see and use. The trim and the door also have some damage from pets. Overall it is just an ugly bathroom.

Laser spectroscopy helps measure progress in nanotech design
September 4, 2013 11:24 am | News | CommentsMeasuring the band offset faced by electrons jumping from one material to another is a key component of a nanoscale design process because it guides redesign and prototyping. Current methods don't work on the nanoscale, however. Using laser-induced current in a nanowire device and its dependence on the wavelength of the laser, a team at Drexel Univ. devised a new method to derive the band offset.
Space laser to prove increased broadband possible
August 29, 2013 12:07 pm | by Dewayne Washington, NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center | News | CommentsWhen NASA's Lunar Laser Communication Demonstration (LLCD) begins operation aboard the Lunar Atmosphere and Dust Environment Explorer (LADEE), it will attempt to show two-way laser communication beyond Earth is possible, expanding the possibility of transmitting huge amounts of data. This new ability could one day allow for 3-D high-definition video transmissions in deep space to become routine.
Small chip to advance the art of drug testing
August 27, 2013 2:43 pm | by Kurt Pfitzer, Lehigh Univ. | News | CommentsStandard drug-testing methods have shortcomings. Animal testing is expensive and unreliable, and the static environment of cells and cultures don't mimic the behavior of the entire organism. An interdisciplinary research team at Lehigh Univ. is using microscopy and optical tweezers to develop a new finger-sized chip that can study the activities of cells at the nanoscale, possibly offering an alternative to traditional drug testing.
Bubbles are the new lenses for nanoscale light beams
August 14, 2013 5:33 pm | by Hannah Y. Cheng | News | CommentsBending light beams to your whim sounds like a job for a wizard or an a complex array of bulky mirrors, lenses and prisms, but a few tiny liquid bubbles may be all that is necessary to open the doors for next-generation, high-speed circuits and displays, according to Penn State researchers.
Diamonds are a laser scientist's new best friend
August 8, 2013 7:51 am | News | CommentsA U.K. team has developed a new type of high-performance, ultra-versatile Raman laser that harnesses diamonds to produce light beams with more power and a wider range of colors than current Raman lasers. Achievements by the team include the first "tunable" diamond Raman lasers, where the color of the light can be adjusted to meet specific needs, and the first continuously operating diamond Raman laser.
Taking the "random" out of a random laser
July 15, 2013 2:02 pm | News | CommentsRandom lasers are tiny structures emitting light irregularly into different directions, giving them a unique signature, like a fingerprint. Scientists in Austria have now shown that these exotic light sources, which differ greatly from conventional mirrored lasers, can be accurately controlled.

June 28, 2013 8:16 am | News | CommentsA team in Germany has, for the first time, succeeded in functionally characterizing the active layer in organic thin-film solar cells using laser light for localized excitation of the material. This method, which relies on a highly modulated focused beam, enables them to directly map the spatial distribution of defects in organic thin films.
Laser-guided codes advance single pixel terahertz imaging
June 26, 2013 8:06 am | News | CommentsMost existing THz imaging devices employ prohibitively expensive technology or require several hours to generate a viable image. Researchers at Boston College recently reported a breakthrough in efforts to create accessible and effective THz imaging. Using both optical and electronic controls, the team developed a single-pixel imaging technique that uses a coded aperture to quickly and efficiently manipulate stubborn THz waves.
Laser with "rainbow" buffer could allow subpicosecond pulses
June 4, 2013 8:46 am | News | CommentsResearchers in Munich, Germany, have recently published work that describes experiments in which inexpensive semiconductor lasers have produced high-energy light pulses as short as 60 picoseconds without the drawbacks of previous approaches in terms of power consumption and device size. They say the new technique, based on the use of a new Fourier domain mode-locked laser, could open the door to subpicosecond pulses.
Amplification scheme to give X-ray lasers more power
May 10, 2013 9:16 am | News | CommentsX-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) produce higher-power laser pulses over a broader range of energies compared with most other x-ray sources. Although the pulse durations currently available are enormously useful for the study of materials, even shorter pulses are needed. Researchers at RIKEN have proposed a theoretical pulse-amplification scheme that allows for the production of ultrashort x-ray pulses at extremely high energies.
Study: Chaos proves superior to order
May 7, 2013 10:48 am | News | CommentsAn international team of physicists working at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology in Saudi Arabia has demonstrated that chaos can beat order—at least as far as light storage is concerned. The researchers deformed mirrors in order to disrupt the regular light path in an optical cavity and, surprisingly, the resulting chaotic light paths allowed more light to be stored than with ordered paths.
On-site asbestos detector IDs fibers in real-time
May 2, 2013 12:46 pm | News | CommentsAsbestos was banned in the many industrialized countries in the 1980s, but the threat lingers on in the ceilings, walls and floors of old buildings and homes. Now a team of researchers in the U.K. has developed and tested the first portable, real-time airborne asbestos detector. The device uses a laser-based light scattering technique to identify harmful fibers.
Germanium made compatible with lasers
April 22, 2013 9:27 am | News | CommentsBy introducing high tensile strain, a research group in Switzerland has rendered germanium, which is normally unsuitable for lasers, capable of emitting 25 times more photons than in its relaxed state. This change alters the optical properties of the material and is enough to allow the construction of lasers from this material. This is valuable because germanium is highly compatible with silicon.
Camera system creates high-resolution 3D images from up to a kilometer away
April 4, 2013 12:35 pm | News | CommentsA standard camera takes flat, 2D pictures. To get 3D information, such as the distance to a far-away object, scientists can bounce a laser beam off the object and measure how long it takes the light to travel back to a detector. The technique, called time-of-flight (ToF) has a relatively short range and struggles to image objects that do not reflect laser light well. A team of Scotland-based physicists has recently tackled these limitations.
Researchers build room-temperature electrically powered nanolasers
March 12, 2013 2:51 pm | News | CommentsElectrically powered nanoscale lasers have been able to operate effectively only in cold temperatures. Researchers in the field have been striving to enable them to perform reliably at room temperature, a step that would pave the way for their use in a variety of practical applications. Recently, Arizona State University scientists have made that leap.

profile-6-14 |
Born in a small town called Hinckley in Illinois, she was raised as an only child to parents who worked a farm. First it was cows, then it was corn, then a discrepancy as to whether or not the family actually wanted to own the farm.
In the end, they decided to move closer to Chicago, to a town called Geneva in the Fox River valley."I'm so glad we did," she said. "I couldn't imagine what I'd be like if we'd stayed in Hinckley. Once I was in Geneva, I was just a step away from Chicago."
Lynne attended the Patricia Stevens Career College in Chicago while still in high school, riding the train into the heart of the "Chi" by herself at a young age. She wanted to be a model, but soon found out she just wasn't comfortable in front of the lens. But being behind it was a different story.
"When I graduated from high school I didn't go to college, I immediately moved to Chicago and worked as a receptionist," she said. "Basically we were just hippies, running wild in the city. It was 1969 and there was a lot going on. The police were after the kids, the Democratic Convention exploded, there were be-ins in the park and Jefferson Airplane playing. We followed The Flock (a Chicago-based jazz-rock band), and I even went out with Freddie Glickstein ..."
Lynne developed pneumonia at one point, and had to move back home for a time. When she was well her parents told her it was time to make her own way in the world.
"I moved down to Lauderdale-by-the-Sea I didn't really know how to do anything, but someone must have been looking out for me. I ended up at a resort, where I walked in and asked for a job. I had no training, had never worked in a restaurant. They must have felt sorry for me, and said, 'You can be the relish girl.' I walked around to the tables, basically giving out carrots. It was a place sort of like an Inn, and across the street they had a row of bungalows where staff could live. It was perfect, I had a roof over my head, I got meals there, and they trained me how to work in a restaurant."
After a bit of training as a server, young Lynne thought she would go where the money was.
"I had a fake ID, and Joe Namath had a club in Fort Lauderdale," she said. "I wanted to make more money, so I went and worked there at Bachelor's 3."
She was only there a short time before she heard about an ad in the newspaper. Playboy was doing a bunny search in Miami, and Lynne and a few friends headed there to try their luck. They were hired, but Lynne had to confess about her being underage.
"They said, 'That's OK, you can go back up to Chicago or Geneva and we'll hire you there.' I didn't want to go back to the city, but I loved Geneva. So in the middle of winter I moved back up north to become a Playboy Bunny. And it was the best hospitality training I ever had. Hefner ran that place like it was the Army. You couldn't go out on the floor without being inspected. Hair, nails, runs in stockings, everything was checked. Even being a coat check girl, with it being a private club a guy would hand you $100. Even so, I finally got burned out after about a year. It was hard work. Serving drinks in spike heels, even that young, it was hard. But it was great training, I even learned to be a sommelier, and I learned a lot of things that were helpful."
Lynne decided to come back to Florida, where she met a man in the music business and ended up going to Los Angeles with him. They were in Topanga Canyon, it was the early 1970s, and she was living in a Volkswagen camper in Spanky McFarlane's backyard.
That's Spanky, as in Spanky and Our Gang, a '60s folk rock band. Spanky knew everybody, and wherever Spanky went, Lynne usually did, too.
"I remember going to Hollywood with her to parties, and Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan would be passed out in the corner," she said. "We were friends with Linda McGuinn, who used to be married to Roger McGuinn who started The Byrds, we hung out with the guys from the Eagles before they were famous ... we even met Willie Nelson before he was famous."
Eventually Lynne decided to go to school. She went to college in L.A., studying photography. She had since broken up with her old boyfriend, and was dating a man who was a documentary filmmaker. When he asked if she wanted to go on location with him in New Zealand, she went. Not only did she shoot still photography work on the project, which was about an Olympic marathon runner trainer, she cooked and cleaned for the crew and did odd jobs.
When she returned to Hollywood she started shooting for advertisements. Eventually she also got into shooting portraits, and has worked with Robert Redford, Diane Keaton, Jackson Browne, Michael Keaton and Fleetwood Mac.
Her need to do more long-term projects became greater, and she started looking for more and more work on films. That's what led her to eventually working on a movie called "The Serpent and the Rainbow," where her interest in voodoo began.
She stayed in Haiti for awhile, then in the Dominican Republic, all the while trying to get a chance to shoot an actual voodoo ritual. It wasn't easy, to say the least.
"I had been in the D.R. for a couple months and was ready to go back to New York," she said. "I had to go to L.A. first, and someone told me to stop in New Orleans and get some pictures there. I didn't have a lot of luck but, as I was leaving town, the man who ran a voodoo museum said I should go check out a particular cemetery where Marie Laveau was buried. He told me to cast a spell, say a prayer and make a wish there, and I did. I asked Marie if she could help me photograph voodoo in Haiti."
Whether she was guided by Marie's hand or it was just fate, on her next trip to Haiti, her luck changed.
"I was just driving around and started spotting houses with paintings on them, and crosses," she said. "I would run up, take a picture, then run back to car because I was a little afraid. Then I saw this place going into St. Mark, a pink building, with people dressed in white in front. It just looked something was happening. I talked to them, and one guy spoke Spanish, which I speak, so I asked if I could make some pictures there."
Some of the photos she took there have become world-wide sensations ... but there's more.
As she left, driving back to St. Mark, she happened to look up and see a colorful yellow and pink building.
"I got out of the car, and just as I got the camera ready to soot a little boy peeked out from behind one of the columns in front. I made that photograph, and it was really the only photograph I took that I feel ended up being of any consequence. It was made into postcards, and I sent one of them to Robert Redford. He was making a film in Havana , and I wanted that job. I got that job. Things happened because of that picture."
That job also paved her way to more shoots in Haiti, and eventually moving back to the States. She had a son, realized how difficult it was to continue to work on location with a baby, and started to settle down into a different direction.
Lynne decided it was time to start writing down her adventures in Haiti, and attended the University of Arizona to study writing. Her teacher, a man named Allen Harrington, was a peer of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac.
"He gave me confidence to keep writing," she said. "And I have kept writing, I'm still working on that book. Now, more than ever, Haiti is changing. I've always wanted to publish a book about it, not only about voodoo but the people, and the culture."
Lynne currently lives just off-island with her son, Sam, and loves the peace of the area.
"I have always loved the peace and quiet here," she said. "The way I feel about Boca Grande is kind of the way I felt about Haiti. It's obviously not as intense, but I'm at peace here, just as I was there. I am inspired by this island to photograph every day, just as I was in Haiti ... which hasn't happened for me in a really long time."


text: I just got this today and it is an incredible game. At least second best singleplayer on the 360 in my opinion. However I just tried a multiplayer match and the lag is ridiculous making it unplayable. I really hope Starbreeze patches this quickly. Also from the game I was in, a lot of people seemed unhappy and were complaining that they paid $60 for the game. If this isn't patched I feel this game's sales will be hurt tremendously and I don't want to see that happen to Starbreeze for making a great game.

September 26, 2007 When Sumatra, Indonesia, was hit by successive earthquakes on September 12 and 13, populations on the remote Mentawai islands, some 90 miles off Sumatra's west coast, were also devastated, but reaching them was extremely challenging. Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) has now delivered 20 tons of relief materials, including plastic sheeting, hygiene kits, and blankets, for 2,000 to 3,000 families in Pagai Utara and Pagai Selatan, on the west side of the islands. "The situation here is dire," says MSF field coordinator Renzo Fricke. "Because of the difficult access to the area, people have not received much assistance, so far. They are sleeping in the open; many have lost their houses or are too afraid to sleep inside." According to official figures, 952 houses were totally destroyed on the islands, and nearly 1,150 were damaged. Due to harsh weather conditions and high waves, the logistics for this aid operation have been difficult. To reach the islands and distribute relief supplies, MSF is using speedboats provided by Surfaid International, a nongovernmental organization working with the local community. MSF has also sent nine medical and paramedical staff, including doctors, nurses, and psychologists, and four logisticians. Through mobile clinics, they are offering both primary health care and mental support to the affected populations. "Mental health is one of our priorities," says Fricke. "Because of the constant aftershocks and the many tsunami alerts, the population is terrorized. There are many rumors about a new big earthquake and stories about a tsunami waiting to happen. The catastrophe of December 2004 is on everyone's mind." Immediately after the earthquakes, MSF distributed over 210 tons of relief materials in mainland Sumatra: in Muko Muko, north Bengkulu province; and in southern Padang district. Assistance has now reached most of the population; MSF expects to continue distribution here for another week and will offer mental health support through the next month. |

New Lattice Predictive Lead Scoring application lets marketers rely on the science of predictive analytics to find their hottest leads
SAN MATEO, Calif., Oct. 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Lattice Engines announced a breakthrough new application that brings the power of prediction to lead scoring. Lattice Predictive Lead Scoring (PLS) allows marketers to begin relying on the science of predictive analytics to find their most sales-ready leads.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131022/SF01916)
Expanding on Lattice's success delivering predictive applications to sales organizations at some of the largest and fastest growing companies in the world, Lattice Predictive Lead Scoring is designed specifically for marketers at companies of all sizes. It capitalizes on today's universe of buying signals and advanced data science in a secure, easy to use and quick to deploy cloud application.
Comments on the News
Removing the Barriers to Effective Lead Scoring
Today, 44 percent of companies are doing lead scoring, according to a new Decision Tree Labs Report. However, the survey respondents gave their current lead scoring programs poor marks for effectiveness, with an average grade of five out of 10. The top two reasons given for the low scores were a lack of confidence in the accuracy of data and not having enough insight into what constitutes actual buying behavior.
Lattice is removing these barriers and helping customers to actually predict their next buyer. By combining data already tracked in marketing automation and CRM systems with signals from the Web, social media and other internal sources, Lattice Predictive Lead Scoring pinpoints the qualities of a lead that are most predictive of actual buying signals. Once these buying signals are consolidated, the power of predictive analytics ensures that the most sales-ready leads are passed to CRM while the rest can be nurtured by marketing until they're ready to buy.
Lattice Predictive Lead Scoring delivers:

Uranus at Opposition
- ‹ Previous program
- 255 of 2170
- Next program ›
The planet Uranus is putting in its best appearance of the year right now. It rises at sunset and remains in the sky all night. It's also closest to us for the year, so it shines brightest. Unfortunately, though, you still need binoculars to find it.
Uranus is one of the giants of the solar system -- only Jupiter and Saturn outrank it. But Uranus may be put together differently from those bigger siblings.
Jupiter and Saturn are balls of hydrogen and helium gas wrapped around solid cores. Uranus probably has a solid core, too, but it has a lot less hydrogen and helium.
All the hydrogen and helium it does have are contained in an atmosphere that's perhaps 3,000 miles thick -- about one-fifth of the distance down from the planet's cloudtops.
Below that may be a liquid or partially frozen mixture of water, methane, and rocky minerals. Unlike the boundary between the oceans and air here on Earth, though, there probably isn't a sharp boundary between the layers of Uranus. The pressure is so great that the liquid and gas merge in a slushy transition zone.
Uranus climbs into view in the southeast after nightfall, at the eastern edge of Aquarius. Through binoculars, it looks like a faint blue-green star. It's far to the left of the Moon tonight, but will stand just below the Moon on Sunday night. That'll help you find it, although the best view of Uranus itself comes a few nights later, after the bright Moon moves out of the way.

Are there any more truly systemic.
Changes out of occurred in -- of the sensible their company yes.
No I don't think you know we're gonna make sure that there are no other issues like this from the company but.
We operator -- business I can never tell you -- make a mistake.
So that was senate banking committee name member David better grilling Jamie Dimon earlier today he did he get what he wanted out of the JPMorgan CEO senator better George.
From capitol health.
Thank you so much for joining us tonight we appreciate it thank you let's look good to be with you just moments ago Timothy Geithner released a statement saying that he thought that the testimony was direct clean and -- would you agree with that.
I would agree with all that -- Jamie Dimon did extremely well.
I'm still not super satisfied with his general response that well they're gonna be smarter they're gonna do better next time I think we need to look at systemic.
For the public including increased capital requirements Jamie diamond diamond is a very competent very Smart god and even under his management.
-- big big.
Pick up occurred.
Yeah and in no I saw that part of your questioning and in fact you said you know have there been more broad scale systemic changes within the company directly -- reaction to this incident.
And he said just -- our review of every single thing that happens.
And we do think it's isolated you're not happy with that what kind of change do you think should have been made.
Well you know there are hundreds of folks within chase you do nothing but risk management there are hundreds of federal regulators.
Who are housed in that bank every day and yet this still happen.
To me that means that the solution is -- smarter regulators.
Or better management smarter management won't let it happen again.
To me that suggest we need systemic reforms that have.
The protection when things.
And I would start with the increased capital requirements we've been moving in that corrections since the crisis I think we probably need to go further.
-- capital what have stopped this from happening.
No but it would protect against it being calamitous particular taxpayer.
This hasn't impacted the taxpayer I mean that's one of the big points that a lot of people are watching today's -- that the -- -- because go had.
Current because because of the size of the pick up.
If the same sort of -- it happened on the larger scale it could have and that's would increase capital requirements would protect them.
If that doesn't recommend for you know something like limiting.
The type of hedging they can do the type of trading.
They don't.
Yeah and -- as I'm sure you saw during the -- hearing I also asked about the Volcker Rule think Iran part of that.
And I think some.
Version of the Volcker Rule makes sense and I have to admit that's a lot easier said than done the devil's in the details I'm not the person you can figure those details town.
I think some version of it properly applied makes sense.
You know I was watching the testimony -- -- with former SEC chairman Harvey Pitt -- said afterwards that.
You know he thought it seem like a fishing expedition a lot of points it was kind of unclear.
Where some of your colleagues were going with their questions did you think the questions -- kind of all over the place.
They were all over the map that's par for the course than any congressional hearing today I guess I was surprised dissolve -- -- so much.
-- it's pretty much par for the course.
What do you think the goal of the hearing -- -- you think it was achieved.
Well my goal going into it was simply don't understand better exactly what happened in this instance.
And then to step back and say okay what does it say about the system and what protections we need in place not.
To prevent a mistake like that ever from happening again that's impossible.
But to protect the system in the broader system and the public and the taxpayer from dire consequences including the need for an bail -- What do you feel like -- got more clarity on that front because there are couple senators that tried to get more details on the trade.
And of course mr.
Dimon said you know you can't really reveal that because they're still trying to unwind it now be detrimental to shareholders as.
You don't and the other traders with sort of pounce on that make the loss even more do you feel like you have a better understanding what happened after tonight.
Well we certainly don't have all the details about exactly what happened.
I take away from -- that we should be focusing on those.
Systemic issues like capital requirements number one and some properly tuned version vocal rule number two.
Yet there there were also people watching state who made the point even senator did -- -- as well that.
You it's hard to watch a group of senators grilling mr.
-- about a two billion dollar loss when you have.
Washington and our government you know racking up the trillion dollar dollar deficit for taxpayers every year and this is a -- that doesn't act taxpayers -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Well I agree with that -- wholeheartedly look -- -- -- any measure by any comparison.
Washington is in the most physical dysfunction and mismanagement.
And we need to attack that certainly conservatives like may have been.
Trying to do that got a hold on spending that.
-- at the end of the day do you feel like -- regulation that's been put in place since the financial crisis has made the systems safer there was a lot of debate about that today.
Yeah unfortunately I think 90% of -- 90% of Dodd-Frank has not done that it's just increased.
The regulatory burden it's been more regulation.
In Jaime diamonds terms not smarter or stronger regulation I think we need to step back.
And peel away just the volume.
Of burden of regulation.
And look at really systemic changes and again.
I would focus on first capital requirements second some.
Up properly tuned version Volcker Rule and I I realize it's much easier said than done.
Senator thank you so much for joining us tonight we present time.
