...entry on Cuban's blog bluntly saying, "There was no agreement to keep information confidential." The post also included a partial transcript of an exchange between Mamma.com's former CEO and Cuban's lawyer in which the ex-CEO said he didn't remember Cuban agreeing to confidentiality. That account is completely at odds with the conversations and e-mails presented in the SEC complaint, including a version of the phone call that ended with Cuban saying, "Well, now I'm screwed. I can't sell...
...added that financial crises occur infrequently enough for regulators and investors to blissfully ignore the warning signs that can lead to very real economic pain. Arguing that economic systems reflect human nature, Ferguson said that economists’ over-reliance on mathematical models results in a failure to account for the fear, euphoria, and panic that often drive markets. Combining his expertise in history and economics, Ferguson traced the historical development of the modern financial system. “He bridges two disciplines in a way that makes him really insightful,” said Edwin O.

...suspect it takes more than that to account for OTD. I was reminded as I read that as you move through adolescence, your life gets so much bigger so fast; not just your hands and feet but your thoughts, temper, moods, doubts, and so all your relationships are vastly more complicated than in the days of playground tag.

To that end, the GOP wants a change...
...loans available to companies in Chapter 11 are all but impossible to obtain. And few consumers would be likely to buy a car - the sale of which depends on long-term warranties, service and parts - from a company in a bankruptcy reorganization. The Big Three and their affiliated suppliers account for 2% of the U.S. workforce, or more than 2.5 million jobs. GM alone employs more than 100,000 workers, the same number of autoworkers that have been laid off so far this year. And that's not to mention the hit the Federal Government would take if GM dumps...
