...original concern of the leaders who will come to the summit is that a lack of regulation was the root cause of the financial and credit catastrophe that ruined the international banking system. Leaving aside whether regulation can, in and of itself, make the financial markets less risky, increasing the power of regulatory bodies costs almost nothing in terms of creating new laws and staffing oversight agencies. There should be very little argument on that point. Every nation coming to the G-20 summit can afford to further regulate its banks and financial markets. However, there has been little time...
...Welcome to the SEC Circus I was incensed after reading your article on the lack of accountability and oversight at the Securities and Exchange Commission [March 9].

Pushing their Gossip Girl personas’ decided lack of naiveté to a new extreme, Blake Lively and Leighton Meester jointly lick a cone topped with two scoops of ice cream in an unapologetic allude to the phallic. Blake’s innocent “come-hither” gaze and her prominent cleavage combine with the child...
...bats were quiet as the team split a twinbill with Columbia (9-15, 1-1) Saturday afternoon at the Baker Complex in New York, N.Y.Riding another outstanding performance from freshman hurler Rachel Brown, Harvard took the first game, 1-0, but the team’s lack of offensive production caught up to it in the second contest, which the Lions won by a 2-0 count.“We just didn’t get the hits that we needed when we needed them,” co-captain Bailey Vertovez said. “We might have...
