Connecting you to everyone you need to help raise your child.
Have you been looking for a fun, fast-paced game that will improve your child's general knowledge and skills in maths and language?
Look no further than the amazing 50|50 app!
With incredibly simple instructions, this riveting game will also boost one's mental agility, hand-eye coordination and psychomotor skills. It is even suitable for adults and the best news of all? It's FREE!
We've listed down our top 5 reasons why 50|50 makes an ideal educational game for your child. Keep clicking "next" to find out.
The game's straightforward format is not one to be underestimated. While your kid is tasked to answer by simply tapping left or right, the 10-second time limit will get him feeling the pressure to choose the correct side.
Expect a squeal to erupt from your child when the timer is quickly reaching the end and he still hasn't figured out the answer!
The intuitive game-play and simple-to-use answering format are easily understood by young minds, while the vibrant visuals and audio feedback appeal to their senses and hold their focus.
Also, the difficulty level and categories automatically adjust to the user's performance – hence, the game is never too discouraging or too simple.
Kids will learn about animals, places, math, languages, shapes, colours, grammar and more. Apart from providing kids with knowledge on these topics, the game play format also encourages their development of mental and psychomotor skills.
While the "Game" modes expose children and parents to a wide range of topics, the "Practice" modes allow for more focused learning on specific topics. This allows children to improve on their weaknesses and capitalise on their strengths.
Mums and dads, don't be misled by the game's bright and colorful kid-centric graphics. While you can easily guide your children through Kid mode, the topics in Regular mode will prove to be quite a challenge!
Can you recognize the map of Bhutan when you see it? Do you know who Catalina Sandino Moreno is? With questions and information related to country flags, shapes, sportsmen, artistes, politicians and more, the app will leave you stumped.
And when you are, just remember that the app is for bonding and learning time with your kiddo, so switch back to Kid mode and play together.
Click "next" to read what other parents have to say about 50|50!
"The game provided good bonding time with my 4 year old while teaching quick picture recognition. He enjoyed it most when I called out the words (he can't read yet) and he has to decide right or wrong within the given time."- Shawn Tham, father of 2 sons
"As a rule, we don't usually let our kids play iPad games. We make an exception for 50|50 because it's educational and a lot of fun. The kids love it and have learnt all sorts of random things about country flags, Singapore trivia and even Spanish! Adults, too, have their own share of categories to conquer. I'll definitely recommend 50|50 to anyone who is looking to make learning fun and effortless for their kids and themselves!"- Dr. Jocelyn Lim, mother of 3 girls
Click "next" to know where you can download 50|50.
50|50 is available for download on Google Play and iTunes.
All Game modes are free to play, so the value can't get much better than this. So, try it out – it's guaranteed to give you and your child an enjoyable moment of bonding and learning.
Cooking, feeding, transporting, negotiating, writing – it's all in a day's work, liberally scattered with plenty of cuddles and kisses from all of my boys!

Customer Testimonials
My daughter loves coming and it's never a battle to get her to go.
I'm so thankful for Mathnasium! The staff is always so helpful and they work with My daughters math needs! They help prepare her for quizzes and texts in a way I could never provide for her!!!!
My daughter is excited to go there. The staff is caring and friendly.
Couldn't have had a better experience with the tutoring process. Everyone there is soooo nice and always willing to answer questions. I was initially worried how my son was going to like having to go to tutoring for math. When I took him for his first visit and eval. When I picked him up he didn't want to leave. Never a complaint from him going and he is only 9. He asks to go. He wants to go. They make the learning process fun and inviting. Right there that is half the battle with kids. I cannot say enough great things about Mathnasium and we are signing up for a 3 month period!!
My daughter is happy with the help you are providing her. Thank you
My daughter loves Mathnasium! She has learned so much!
The manager,Brian, has always been so kind and helpful. My son is feeling better about his math skills after only a few weeks. He really enjoys going as well.
Thank you to Adam and Bryan for making math a fun experience! She was always happy to go to your center for help! I would definitely recommend Mathnasium to my Family and Friends.
My daughter loved it, she was actually excited to go over the summer which says a lot!!
My daughter got an A on a quiz this week! This stuff works! I only wish that Opening hours are earlier to accommodate early release on wednesdays and that it was open on Friday's.
Gray staff and friendly people... very helpful and my daughter loves it there..
My son attends there and is willing to learn and be happy every time he has a session.
The instructors are very helpful. My daughter is extremely happy with the switch from Kumon ( after 7 years) to Mathnasium and says this program is way more helpful!!
My son was struggling in math as a Sophomore and Junior and the Mathnasium team helped him raise his math scores and ultimately pass his classes. He enjoyed working with the team at Mathnasium.
my son loves going! he says some parts are easy and some are challenging. he loves your card system and raffles. I appreciate the tailored curriculum.
My daughter is gaining confidence with her math skills and her ability to complete her school homework has improved.
My son loves it here! The staff are very helpful and accommodating. This program is highly recommended!
My 7th grader who HATES math comes out in the best mood after each session. It's only been a month but so far a great experience
It's just awesome!
My daughter used to attend Kumon for reading and math enrichment. It was a daily struggle to get her to do her Kumon homework. Since joining Mathnasium 6 months ago my daughter loves going to the center. We don't struggle with homework since she gets assistance from tutors. My family is so happy to have found this great place. My daughter is excelling at her school and our family is completely happy with her progress.

PoINT Archiver
Version 5.1 with Service Pack 1
Build 350
Copyright © PoINT Software & Systems GmbH 1994-2013. All rights reserved.
General Information
To install PoINT Archiver log in as a user which is a member of the local Administrators group and start SETUP.EXE from the distribution package. When installing a download version make sure you downloaded the correct 32 bit or 64 bit version corresponding to your operating system. The CD package contains both versions and the installer takes care of installing the right one.
Please note that PoINT Archiver requires a License Key which enables specific options. PoINT Archiver cannot be used without a valid License Key. The License Key can be entered during installation or at any later time.
During the installation process you can choose the components to be installed:
- Server Components
- PoINT VFS Agent
- PoINT TAFS Agent
- SUN ACSLS Support
- User Interface Components
- PoINT VFS Manager
By default, all components except of the "SUN ACSLS Support", will be installed. However, if you want to
administer a PoINT Archiver installation from a client computer, you can
uncheck the "Server Components" to install only the components required for the remote administration.
Also, if you do not plan to use Storage Vaults using PoINT TAFS or PoINT VFS as Data Source, you can uncheck the appropriate agents. Note that components can be added or removed later by means of the Add/Remove Software Control Panel applet or by starting SETUP.EXE again.
The component "SUN ACSLS Support" should only be installed if you plan to connect to a tape library using a SUN StorageTek ™ ACSLS Server. In this case, the SUN LibAttach Services must be installed prior to installing PoINT Archiver.
During the installation you will be prompted to enter a Configuration Key. This key is handed to you together with the software package. PoINT Archiver cannot be installed without a valid Configuration Key.
After the installation of PoINT Archiver the Administration GUI will appear and a wizard will guide you through some required settings.
If you plan to administer PoINT Archiver using an account which is not a member of the Administrators group, you should add this account to the list of users which are allowed to administer PoINT Archiver using:
Setup PoINT Archiver > General > Manage User Accounts
After adding this account you can log in using the mentioned account and continue using PoINT Archiver.
Windows Server 2008
When installing on an operating system with User Account Control you need to start the Administration GUI one time with administrative privileges and explicitly add your user account to the list of users in the user management. This is necessary because by default only Administrators are allowed to connect, but administrative privileges are not active by default.
PoINT Storage Agent Service Account
During the PoINT Archiver configuration you will be prompted to enter an user account which will be used as account for the PoINT Storage Agent Service. The specified account must have access to the files you intend to archive and it must be able to log-on to remote computers if source data are located there. Also, it must be a member of the local Administrators group.
Recommended Directory Settings
During configuration of PoINT Archiver you will be prompted to specify directories for caching and for
temporary images. The following configuration is recommended:
Database and PoINT VFS Write Buffer
This directory should be located on a different hard disk partition than the operating system. This can be the physical hard disk where the operating system is installed on, unless that disk is in heavy use by other applications.
Temporary Image Volumes
It is recommended to locate this directory on a dedicated fast hard disk.
Please note that all working directories shall be excluded from on access Virus Scanner software.
Compatibility with other PoINT Software
Under the following conditions PoINT Archiver can be installed together with other PoINT products on the same systems:
PoINT Jukebox Manager
PoINT Jukebox Manager 5.0 SP4 (or higher) is required for installation on the same system as PoINT Archiver. Note that it is not possible to install PoINT Archiver if an older version of PoINT Jukebox Manager has been updated to this version. Please contact support if this is the case on your installation.
PoINT Publisher NG
PoINT Publisher NG 1.0 (or higher) can be installed on the same server as PoINT Archiver. It is also possible that both products share the same CD/DVD/BD autoloader. In this case both products automatically synchronize usage of the device. I.e. if one product uses the device, the other product waits until it will be released and vice versa.
PoINT Publisher
PoINT Archiver can be installed on a system which has PoINT Publisher installed. But synchronisation of devices is not supported. The PoINT Archiver Service must be stopped before starting PoINT Publisher.
PoINT Storage Manager
PoINT Archiver cannot be installed on a system where PoINT Storage Manager is installed. Please contact support for information about possible upgrade scenarios.
Upgrading from a Previous Version
The following information do not apply when installing a service pack or
hotfix which does not change the version number of PoINT Archiver.
Before upgrading your installation make sure that all Archive Volumes have been migrated to Archive Devices. Then deactivate all Storage Vaults and export the database and the System Key. The upgrade will replace your current version by the new version. The new version requires a new license key. After upgrading from a previous version, the Service Account for the PoINT Storage Agent Service must be specified again. All other settings will be preserved.
Storage Vaults will not be automatically activated after the upgrade. You need to activate them manually after installing the upgrade. Also note that client installations must also be upgraded after upgrading the PoINT Archiver server installation.
The PoINT NetApp FAS Agent allows using a NetApp FAS as Data Source for a Storage Vault. This way it is possible to transparently archive and migrate files from a NetApp FAS volume to Storage Devices managed by PoINT Archiver. Besides the manual and the online documentation please also refer to the separate document "PoINT NetApp FAS Agent" which describes the functionality in detail. This document can be opened through the Start Menu entry of PoINT Archiver. The PoINT NetApp FAS Agent will be installed as a part of the PoINT Archiver Server Components. It is not possible to install it separately.
The PoINT TAFS Client can be installed on client computers in the LAN if you want to locate the
PoINT TAFS Data Source of Storage Vaults on these computers.
The PoINT TAFS Client installation comprises the following components which will be
installed on the client computer:
- TAFS Agent Service
- TAFS Client Configuration Tool
- PoINT Archiver Administration GUI
The TAFS Client install package can be found on the installation CD or in the PoINT Archiver installation directory in the subdirectory "TAFS Client Setup". To install the PoINT TAFS Client, copy the installation package to the client computer and execute SETUP.EXE with administrative privileges. After installation of the TAFS Client modules, you will be guided through the configuration of the TAFS Client installation.
To allow communication between the PoINT TAFS Agent on the client computer and the PoINT Archiver Service,
it is necessary to adjust the following system settings on the computer running the PoINT Archiver Service
and on the computer where PoINT TAFS Client installation has been performed:
- "File and Printer Sharing" protocol must be enabled for local network connections
- "File and Printer Sharing" must not be blocked by a Firewall
- "Use Simple File Sharing" must be disabled
The option "Use Simple File Sharing" is enabled by default on Windows XP. To disable this option, open Windows Explorer and select Tools > Folder Options from the menu. Now select the property page "View" and uncheck this option.
If the PoINT VFS Agent has been installed as a software component, it will create the virtual drive letter which can be used to access Storage Vaults which are configured for the PoINT VFS Data Source. If you do not plan to use this functionality you can avoid creation of the drive letter by either not installing the PoINT VFS Agent component or disabling the PoINT VFS Agent Service using the Windows Control Panel.
Restore Data in PoINT TAFS Data Sources
Data in the PoINT TAFS Data Source of a Storage Vault will not be accessible after
uninstalling PoINT Archiver or PoINT TAFS Client, unless purged files have been restored and the
PoINT TAFS Reparse Tags have been removed.
This can be achieved using the PoINT TAFS Explorer Shell Extension, by means of the command "Remove TAFS Tags" in the context menu of the PoINT TAFS Data Source in the Windows Explorer. Note that the related Storage Vault must be active and purged data must be present in the configured Storage Device.
The command line tool "TagRemover" mentioned in the section "Command Line Tools" below, can also be used to remove the PoINT TAFS Reparse Tags. However, this tool does not retrieve purged files.
Before starting the uninstallation of PoINT Archiver you should stop and deactivate all Storage Vaults.
Now open the Add/Remove Software Control Panel applet, find the entry for PoINT Archiver and click Change/Remove. In the following dialog select Remove All to uninstall PoINT Archiver from your system.
During the software removal you will be prompted to confirm remove of some directories. You can confirm this, if these directories have been solely used by PoINT Archiver.
Maximal Number of Storage Vaults
PoINT Archiver supports up to 16 Storage Vaults.
Maximal Number of Archive Volumes per Storage Vault
The number of archive volumes per Storage Vault is limited to 15000. No further archiving operations will be possible if this limit has been reached.
Maximal Number of Devices
PoINT Archiver supports up to 20 devices (CD/DVD/BD Autoloaders, Single Drives, Libraries).
Maximal Number of Database Objects
The PoINT Archiver database can store about 1.000.000.000 objects (directories and file versions).
Archival/Migration Restrictions
Backup Data of PoINT TAFS Data Sources
It is recommended to perform a regular backup of all data in PoINT TAFS Data Sources. The backup application should be
configured so that it does not backup file data of files which have been purged (i.e. are off-line),
but that it stores the reparse points. In case of a failure of the hard disk, the backup can be restored
to a new hard disk and the Storage Vault can be configured to use the new hard disk
(see Move PoINT TAFS Data Source to a Different Hard Disk).
If no backup of the PoINT TAFS Data Source is present, the data can also be restored from the Storage Vault. But in this case it is necessary to create a new Storage Vault after restoring the data. All data will then be archived again to the new Storage Vault.
Restore PoINT TAFS Data Source to a Different Hard Disk
If a hard disk containing a PoINT TAFS Data Source has been replaced, PoINT Archiver cannot activate the related
Storage Vault anymore. Therefore it is necessary to change the configuration of the Storage Vault
Before proceeding with the following steps, make sure the data of the PoINT TAFS Data Source has been restored from
a recent backup to a directory with the same path name on the new hard disk.
First stop the PoINT Archiver Service and then start the AdjustGUID.exe. This program can be found in the installation directory of PoINT Archiver. Please note that the program must be run in the user context which has been selected for PoINT Storage Agent Service.
If the PoINT TAFS Data Source is located on a PoINT TAFS Client computer make sure that the PoINT TAFS Agent is running on that computer.
AdjustGUID displays the first Storage Vault which targets a hard disk partition which is not present on the local system. In the lower part of the window is a drop down box where you can select the new location of the PoINT TAFS Data Source. From this list select the correct entry and click OK.
Repeat theses steps if there are further Storage Vaults to be adjusted.
Now stop and restart the PoINT TAFS Agent Service on the computer where the PoINT TAFS Data Source is located and finally start the PoINT Archiver Service again.
No PoINT Archiver license is required to use the command line tools mentioned below.
This command line program removes PoINT TAFS Reparse Tags which have been assigned to files by the PoINT TAFS driver. Note that the recommended method to remove PoINT TAFS Tags is to use the PoINT TAFS Explorer Shell Extension. See section"Uninstall PoINT Archiver" for details.
This program does not retrieve files which have been purged. However, if you plan to delete all files, you can use the command line switch /f to also remove tags from files which are off-line, i.e. have been purged. The files will then be accessible again, but do not contain any data (they are sparse).
Before starting the program make sure the PoINT Archiver Service has been stopped and the PoINT TAFS Filter Driver is not running. To stop the PoINT TAFS Filter Driver perform the following command on a command line and confirm if you will be prompted to also stop dependent services:
net stop pntvolflt
To remove PoINT TAFS Tags from all files in a folder, open a command line and change to the directory where PoINT Archiver is installed. Now enter "TagRemover" and specify the path to the directory as parameter. Note, that the path has to be enclosed by double quotes in case it contains spaces:
TagRemover "D:\TAFS Data Source"
Primera autoloaders may fail to load the last disc
Problem description:
After moving the last disc from the input bin to the drive, the autoloader keeps the drive tray open and stops. The 'Server Messages' dialog appears and indicates that the device has been stopped after a failure. A log file message indicates that multiple discs have been loaded.
Make sure only one disc has been loaded into the drive. If two discs have been loaded put one disc back into the bin.
Press the 'go' button in the device view to restart the autoloader.

Before you can use a device with PoINT Archiver you need to install the driver software which ships with the device. When installing the drivers make sure that you install only the required drivers (usually only the printer drivers), but not any support software which may conflict with PoINT Archiver operation. To do this you should connect the device and when the Windows New Device Wizard appears, insert the driver disk and let the Wizard automatically install the drivers.
These autoloaders are currently only supported on 32 bit operating systems.
These autoloaders are currently only supported on 32 bit operating systems.
If you plan to use multiple itentical Primera autoloaders on one system, please contact the Primera support for information how to configure the system appropriately.
These autoloaders are currently only supported on 32 bit operating systems.
The following printer models are supported:
For the proper functioning of the Maintenance Mode of the autoloader the following must be obeyed:
When PoINT Archiver is running, the front power key is watched. If it is pressed, the system is requested to shut down. You will see a corresponding message on the front panel display as soon as the autoloader's current activity will be completed and then PoINT Archiver terminates and the system shuts down.
Please note:
The restart function (i.e. shutdown + restart) of the operating system does not work properly. The hardware unconditionally powers off after 5 minutes.
PoINT Archiver depends on the services of the Rimage Software Suite to control the autoloaders. This version of PoINT Archiver supports OfficeNET Software Suite 8.0 and 8.1. The following software builds have been tested:
The Rimage server software must be installed and configured on the system where the autoloader is connected to. It is not necessary that this is the system where PoINT Archiver is installed, however, both systems must be connected through the Windows network.
When using a Rimage autoloader the following procedures are slightly different than documented in the manual:
Configuring a Rimage Autoloader
Open Setup PoINT Archiver > Devices > Add/Remove Devices and click on Remote Autoloader...
Specify the server and port settings and click on Next. Then select the device from the list and click Add. Now close the dialog and configure the device as described in the manual.
Configuring Bins
Bin and media type settings must be changed using the Rimage software. After changing these settings it is necessary to deactivate and reactivate the device in PoINT Archiver.
Please note that the device must be configured to use the FIFO mode in the Rimage software.
Handling 'Bin Empty' Conditions
When a bin is empty the Rimage server sends a notification which will be displayed in the Server Notification dialog as "An alert from a remote server is pending". After inserting new media you need to acknowledge this message.
System Requirements
Intel Pentium based system or a compatible processor with at least 2.0 GHz (or a multi core processor). If the optional Encryption function is used a system with a Pentium 4 at 3.2 GHz (or a multi core processor) is required.
At least 2 GByte of RAM are required, 4 GByte or more are recommended.
Supported operating systems for PoINT Archiver Server and PoINT TAFS Client:
- Windows Server 2008 SP2 and 2008 R2
- Windows Server 2003 SP2 and 2003 R2 SP2
- Windows 7 (Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise)
- Windows Vista SP2 (Business, Ultimate and Enterprise)
- Windows XP Professional SP3 (32 bit only)
Both, 32 bit and 64 bit (x64) versions of these operating systems are supported by the respective 32 bit or 64 bit versions of PoINT Archiver.
Note: This version of PoINT Archiver does not support CD/DVD/BD Autoloaders when running on a 64 bit operating system. Please contact your dealer for further information.
The .NET Framework 2.0 is required for the PoINT VFS and the PoINT TAFS Agents. The installation program will prompt to install the framework if it is not present.
The installation hard disk must be formatted with NTFS. Also, the hard disk used to store images and the database must not be encrypted or compressed.
Program Files
The program files require about 100 MByte of hard disk space on the system partition.
The database must be located on a NTFS formatted hard disk partition with sufficient space to store database entries for all archived files.
The following formula is an estimation for the required space for the database:
Database Size = 1024 Bytes * NumDirs
+ 256 Bytes * (NumDirs + NumFiles)
+ 36 Bytes * NumFiles
<NumDirs> and <NumFiles> are the total number of directories and files stored in the archive.
- 1 million files and 10.000 directories will require about 315 MB hard disk space for the database.
- 10 million files and 100.000 directories will require about 3 GB of hard disk space for the database.
The database will automatically be increased in steps of 100 MByte, the initial size is 500 MByte.
Image Files
Archived data are first stored in a temporary image file on the hard disk before the image is migrated to the Storage Devices (Tape, Optical Disc). The temporary hard disk space will be released after successful migration of the image. While a Storage Vault Job Cycle is running it requires space for at least two temporary images and if PoINT Archiver is configured so that multiple Storage Vaults can be active in parallel, hard disk space for two images per Storage Vault is required.
Note: When archiving large files you must provide hard disk space for at least 32 of these files in the image directory.
PoINT VFS Agent
If the PoINT VFS Agent has been selected as a component during installation, it will create an directory and read cache with the initial size of 1 GByte in the database directory. Also, the PoINT VFS write buffer will be located in the database directory. This buffer must be large enough to store all files which will be written to a PoINT VFS Data Source at a time or which will be migrated from an External File System. Please refer to the online help for more information about recommended directory settings.
Compatibility with Virus Scanner Software
To avoid compatibility and performance problems it is strongly recommended to exclude all working directories of PoINT Archiver from on access Virus Scanners.

The Financial Crisis, the Current Economy, and the Economic Outlook How did the economy get into its present condition? How have policymakers responded so far? Has it worked? Are we headed for a recession? What can monetary and fiscal authorities do to prevent or reduce the severity of a recession should one occur?
During a time of easy money from low interest rates from Fed policy after 2001 slowdown high international saving (Asia, oil-producing nations) and a housing boom fueled by risk misperception from lack of transparency Regulatory, oversight, and rating agency failures financial innovation the belief that prices would continue to rise Many people bought houses at prices much higher than justified by underlying fundamentals. Now that prices are falling, many of the houses are valued at less than their mortgages and losses are inevitable. As the losses are revealed, fear mounts, and credit markets dry up. Overview of the Financial Crisis
How Have Policymakers Responded So Far? First, Getting Policymakers Attention: Housing had been in decline since 2006 There were signs of trouble in 2007, e.g. problems in bond markets and stock market turmoil, but this was mostly thought to be localized and not enough to severely impact the larger economy Then, on August 9 of last year, there was a "significant liquidity event" and the ff-rate shot upward as the demand for bank reserves increased and liquidity began drying up. This motivated a policy response.
Open market operations: use standard policy tool to pump up reserves and make sure traditional banks had the liquidity they needed. Problem: It quickly became clear that a "non-bank" bank run was in progress drying up the commercial paper market and putting strains on the availability of credit. So what to do? Next, along with rate cuts beginning on 9/18, they tried easing the terms for the discount window. In particular, they began accepting "high-quality" asset backed securities as collateral on discount window loans/repos which allowed an indirect route to troubled institutions in need of liquidity. They actively encouraged big banks to use the window, and they cut the discount rate by.50 relative to ff-rate to encourage usage The Fed's Initial Response to the Financial Crisis:
But the stigma of using the discount window discouraged banks from using this source of needed liquidity. So the Fed next established the term auction facility TAF: Under the term auction facility (TAF), the Federal Reserve auctions term funds to depository institutions. All advances must be fully collateralized. Each TAF auction will be for a fixed amount, with the rate determined by the auction process (subject to a minimum bid rate). The Term Auction Facility (TAF)
Two key things: It is anonymous removing the stigma of borrowing. The rate is currently below the federal funds-rate. It has a floor – the 30 day ahead expected federal funds rate – but this is below the federal funds rate right now since markets are expecting further rate cuts. [More recently the rates are closer together] As shown on the next graph, this has caused non-borrowed reserves to plummet and borrowed reserves to increase:
Though this set off a mild panic among a few who looked only at the non-borrowed reserves portion of the balance sheet, it is just what you would expect.
Has the TAF worked? At first, there we indications that bank loans were holding up.
But, more recently there are new reasons to worry. First, there have been some worrying signs that commercial property values are beginning to decline (e.g., the MIT index) Second, the increase in investment may be a statistical illusion. One example is a "liquidity put". Suppose a bank created an SIV (special investment vehicle) with an agreement to provide a credit line to pay off investors if they want out. If the bank is forced to extend the credit, it looks as if bank credit has expanded. Firms may also be turning to banks because newer, more innovative financing has dried up. Third, there's a squeeze on credit cards, there have been problems with student loans, municipal bonds, commercial real estate, and the value of leveraged loans is falling (see graph)
But the problems in the asset-backed commercial paper market continue. So it's not over (and there are bond insurance worries, more on this later)
Are We Headed for (or Already in) a Recession? Borrow some graphs from the San Francisco Fed and take a look at present conditions.
Over the past 12 months housing starts and housing permits have fallen by close to 25%. Home sales are down 34% over the past year. Sales of existing homes are down 20% over the past year. Falling sales are showing up in a rising stock of unsold homes and declining home prices. Housing Permits and Housing Starts
The risk premium is increasing Credit Market Risks: Mortgage Markets
The risk premium is also increasing in bond markets Credit Market Risks: Bond Markets
The unemployment rate is rising Unemployment
Employment growth has been trending downward Employment Growth
The index (red) is falling and is now below 50 indicating a slowing economy. Index of Manufacturing Activity
Consumption has remained strong (so far), and is well above values typically seen in recessions. Retail sales were strong too, but falling housing values may impact consumption down the road. Consumption (percentage change over previous month)
Expect slow growth, and hope the Fed can prevent bigger problems San Francisco Fed's GDP Growth Forecast
Pushed by rising energy prices, the PCE price index is rising, as is core PCE. On the positive side, longer-term inflation expectations still appear to be stable, though there are some indications they are beginning to edge upward. Inflation Shows Signs of Moving Upward
What are the Potential Monetary, Fiscal, and Regulatory Responses? Monetary Policy: Changes in the federal funds rate Discount window and related operations Changes in financial market regulation Fiscal Policy: Changes in taxes and transfers Changes in government spending, including investment in infrastructure Other: Insurer of last resort for bond markets Insure jumbo loans (Fannie/Freddie)
Potential Monetary Policy Responses Changes In The Federal Funds Rate:
Expected Federal Funds Rate Target
Changes In the Discount Rate: As noted earlier, this was lowered from 1% above the ff-rate to.5%, and it has tracked the ff-rate downward, but due to the stigma of using the window further lowering is unlikely to help unless they are willing to set it below the ff-rate (as TAF did recently). Changes In the TAF: They could (i) lower the floor, (ii) increase the amount auctioned, or (iii) relax the terms. Currently this seems to be working as a means of lending money, so moving the amount (ii) ought to be sufficient to change the amount of reserves channeled through bank borrowing
Changes In Financial Market Regulation: Lots of possibilities here – too many to cover in any depth – but some general principles are: To create more transparency concerning the risks embedded in financial assets Make sure that the individuals who are assuming risks face the full consequences of their decisions. To prevent fraud and misrepresentations
Monetary Policy Alone May Not Be Enough Responsiveness of consumption and investment to interest rate changes in a recession may be low. May have trouble impacting long-term interest rates in a global financial market. Relies upon changing the value of assets such as housing and the hope people respond to lower interest rates. They may not. Long lags between the policy change and the response of the economy In any case, the Fed cannot fix everything – some losses cannot be recovered – and there is no way to avoid some adjustment.
Potential Fiscal Policy Responses Changes in Taxes and Transfers Important to realize these create incentives, so may not work if directed at wrong target Current proposal One-time rebates of up to $600 for individuals, $1,200 for couples and $300 for each child. Income cut-off is $75,000 for an individual, $150,000 for a couple. Low-income individuals, including retirees on Social Security and disabled veterans who pay no income taxes, would receive checks of $300. Business tax cuts, including accelerated deprecation
Changes in Government Spending This impacts aggregate demand with more certainty than tax changes, particularly in recessions. Can enhance automatic stabilizers and relief programs (e.g. UI and food stamps) Can replace revenue lost to state and local governments (could be a big problem due to fall in property taxes) And, given the slow response of employment in last two recessions, infrastructure spending is also attractive (and also benefits long-run growth)
Potential Problems with Fiscal Policy To be effective, fiscal policy should be targeted, temporary, and timely. If people expect that taxes will be higher in the future, loses some (but not all) impact. With globalization, some of the benefits "leak out". Tax rebates may be saved, not spent. It's too slow to implement, political process dilutes effectiveness. May increase the deficit if policymakers are unwilling to pay for the stimulus package when times are better
What to Do? I would do both types of policy (and, of course, implement regulatory reform over the longer run). Money policy is preferred, but if you wait until you know if it works or not, and it may not, it's too late to get fiscal policy in place as a backup. So do both. Having both types of policy in place helps to reduce the chance of a more severe downward spiral. The Fed should also continue to attempt to find the liquidity chokepoints in credit markets and if possible find ways, within the confines of the Fed's powers, to overcome them. Shore up bond insurance markets, ratings agencies. Hope that one or some combination of the policies works.
Thank You On a more positive note, not everyone thinks we are headed for a big downturn… Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis President William Poole said that the U.S. will probably avert a recession and that the Fed's interest-rate policy is appropriate for the slowing economy. ''The best bet is that we will not have a recession,'' he said... ''My take on the current policy situation is that policy is at a good place for both the long-run concern and for cushioning the impact of financial disturbances.''... [Bloomberg 2/12]

On winning the game:
No one panicked. Leaders led and I was proud of how we finished. We are now 3-0. We beat a good team. It was a good win, a lot to learn from, and we'll go from there.
On penalties:
We ended up with 12 and with the personal fouls. Guys are getting ejected and we'll get it cleaned up.
On the reviews of certain plays:
I didn't see the replay on either one. They take their time and they usually get it right. I've never seen either of those guys get called for targeting. We don't teach it so I was disappointed that it happened.
On the defense wearing down:
Our reps got high in the second half on defense. Our third downs have to get better on offense. Penalties and the interception hurt us.
On the bench control penalties:
I'm not addressing bench control issues. We haven't had bench control issues in my tenure here.
On opting to take a knee with 33 seconds left in regulation:
I had no timeouts. I'd rather go down in that endzone at home. We ended up being right. We thought about it but I told James just to sit on it. I didn't have any timeouts. We're risking a sack fumble and it wasn't worth it.
On Tyre Brady making plays:
Him, Njoku, Herndon, Herb, we made some plays but Mark Walton had a run that was called back, a pass that was called back. Any one of those would have been the difference. David did a nice job. It was good for those guys to get in there and do that.
On what he said to the team in overtime:
I said it's 0-0 and we're at home. The entire offense was on the field. They wanted the ball. We elected to go on defense and it turned out in our favor.
On the offensive stalling late:
When we had the lead they started going in man and we had chances to beat them. Mark's plays got called back. Both those plays were unfortunate because they probably wouldn't have had time to come back.
On Nebraska's offense coming alive in the 4th quarter:
That guy, give credit to Armstrong. He got out of the pocket, was 10-15 yards deep at times. He ran around and made plays. A couple third and longs, we didn't get off the field. The stamina and endurance he had, we gotta give that kid a lot of credit. He's a warrior.

Excellent Doctor
This a very dedicated doctor who diagnosis very well. He is also a good listener. I've been with for over 20 years and I've been very satisfied. I think he's a bit busier now that he's with ARC so he's a bit more rushed and not quite as amazing, but still excellent.

Helped me through some tough times
I have been seriously overweight but very healthy otherwise my adult life. When my second child was born I had a panic attack and thought I was dying from a heart attack, something I had been worrying about and that we had discussed. My wife called 911 and EMS came, determined it was panic. dr Woerner helped me understand the problem and spent a lot of time discussing options and solutions. I did a very short acute regimen of anti anxiety meeds to get over the hump but his focus was on seeing a councilor and understanding my triggers for anxiety. We also dealt with my obesity, which I struggle with still, but to a much lesser degree and no need for medication. He is a humane, excellent person who cares. You will see he is always behind in his appointments. This annoys some people, but the reason is the time he spends with his patients. Would you prefer a doctor who is on time but rushes out the door, or someone who is apologetic but late? I'll take late any day of the week when it comes to him. Too bad he's close to retirement( my guess). A great doctor.
