...year address, Benedict seemed to confront the expectations that may have been created by the popularity of John Paul. Reflecting on his trip this summer to Australia for World Youth Day, Benedict said it was wrong to think of these kinds of mass Church events as a "type of rock festival modified in the ecclesiastic sense, with the Pope as the 'star'." As he prepares to lead his fourth midnight Mass inside St. Peter's Basilica, the soft-spoken pontiff will aim yet again to reach the faithful through the force of his intellect and the grace of his prose...
...Value stocks are very dependent on credit, that is, their performance is very related to the upturn in the economic cycle. We really don't have a lot of evidence right now to support an emphasis on value stocks. We prefer growth stocks, though there's more than one type of growth stock.

Yet when people were given the two bowls of chips and told to eat however much of whichever type they'd like, the two groups ate type A at practically the same rate...
Rogoff Moraga's husband prefers a more active - and if you ask me, scary - type of vacation. While she's in Mexico, she says, "he goes skiing in Chile, heli-skiing in Telluride - any kind of extreme ski or mountain bike trip." Which is not to say the two don't stay in touch when they're far away. "We call or email a lot to share what we have been doing - maybe to the annoyance of the other people we are traveling with," Rogoff Moraga says...
