Well, congratulations, but it's only a short-term solution. It didn't fix the problem because there is little remorse among the first-year class...
...leaders of Reform Judaism may have stopped just short of using the "M" word, but in confirming that America's largest rabbinical group would stand behind members who perform gay unions, many believe it took another brick from the wall that separates gays from mainstream America. Religion experts, however, say the biggest short-term impact of the decision may be to widen the gap between the Reform movement and other Jewish denominations and between Jews and other religions. Orthodox and Conservative rabbis, as well as some Christian groups, were quick to criticize the decision, saying it violates the teachings...
Despite this recent success, PPL is not likely to be setting up its organ shop anytime soon. Knocking out the key sugar gene solves only the problem of short-term rejection. Long-term rejection, caused by blood coagulating around the new organ, requires that researchers re-engineer an entirely different set of genes that code for anticoagulants. But even this would not be a perfect solution, and recipients of pig organs would probably still have to take the same rainbow of antirejection drugs recipients of human organs must now endure...
...greedy. If you want to sleep, sell a slug quickly and ratchet down your tech exposure to a comfortable level--30% or so. Too drastic? Consider dollar-cost-averaging out of tech. By selling a set amount each month for, say, 12 months, you'll still benefit from any short-term rallies. The downside: you'll remain vulnerable to a tech sell...

Consider two stocks: one goes from $10 to $110 in 12 months; the other, from $90 to $110 in six months. You cut your tech exposure by $110 selling either. But the long-term winner triggers $20 in federal tax, based on a 20% capital-gains rate. The other triggers just $7.92 in federal tax, based on the top short-term rate...
