- A Bayesian Evaluation of Alternative Models of Trend Inflation
- With the concept of trend inflation now widely understood as to be important as a measure of the public?s perception of the inflation goal of the central bank and important to the accuracy of longer-term inflation forecasts, this paper uses Bayesian methods to assess alternative models of trend inflation. Reflecting models common in reduced-form inflation modeling and forecasting, we specify a range of models of inflation, including: AR with constant trend; AR with trend equal to last period?s inflation rate; local level model; AR with random walk trend; AR with trend equal to the long-run expectation from the Survey of Professional Forecasters; and AR with time-varying parameters. We consider versions of the models with constant shock variances and with stochastic volatility. We first use Bayesian metrics to compare the fits of the alternative models. We then use Bayesian methods of model averaging to account for uncertainty surrounding the model of trend inflation, to obtain an alternative estimate of trend inflation in the U.S. and to generate medium-term, model-average forecasts of inflation. Our analysis yields two broad results. First, in model fit and density forecast accuracy, models with stochastic volatility consistently dominate those with constant volatility. Second, for the specification of trend inflation, it is difficult to say that one model of trend inflation is the best. Among alternative models of the trend in core PCE inflation, the local level specification of Stock and Watson (2007) and the survey-based trend specification are about equally good. Among competing models of trend GDP inflation, several trend specifications seem to be about equally good. (PDF)
- The Term Structure of Inflation Compensation in the Nominal Yield Curve
- We propose a DSGE model with regime switching in the central bank's inflation target to explain inflation compensation in the UK. Taking advantage of the well-documented change in UK monetary policy to adopt inflation targeting, we estimate our model using nominal and inflation-linked Treasury bond data from the UK from 1985 to 2007. We find that this model can account for the term structure of inflation compensation in the nominal yield curve by generating regime-dependent conditional expectations of future inflation. (PDF)
- Substitution between Net and Gross Settlement Systems:A Concern for Financial Stability?
- While net settlement systems make more efficient use of liquidity than gross settlement systems, they are known to generate systemic risk. What does that tendency imply for the stability of the payments (or financial) system when the two settlement systems coexist? Do liquidity shortages induce banks to settle more transactions in the net settlement system, thereby increasing systemic risk? Or do banks require their counterparties to send payments through the gross settlement system when default risks are high, increasing the need for liquidity and the money market rate but reducing overall systemic risk? This paper studies the factors that drive the relative importance of net and gross settlement systems over the short run, using daily data on transaction volumes from the large- volume payment systems of all euro area countries that have had both a net and a gross settlement system at the same time. Applying a large portfolio of different econometric techniques, we find that it is actually the transaction volumes in gross settlement systems that affect the daily price of liquidity and the credit risk spread in money markets.

- Bank Mergers and Deposit Interest Rate Rigidity
- In this paper I revisit the debate on the impact of bank and market characteristics on the rigidity of retail bank interest rates. Whereas existing research in this area has been exclusively concerned with static measures of bank and market structure, I adopt a dynamic approach which explores the rigidity effects of the changes of bank and market structure generated by bank mergers. I find that bank mergers significantly affect the frequency of changes to deposit rates. In particular, the probability of adjusting deposit rates in response to shocks in money market rates significantly drops after mergers that involve large target banks and after mergers that generate a substantial geographical expansion of bank operations. These effects, however, materialize only after a "transition" period characterized by very frequent changes of the deposit rates. (PDF)
- The Financial Stress Index: Identification of Systemic Risk Conditions
- This paper develops a financial stress index for the United States, the Cleveland Financial Stress Index (CFSI), which provides a continuous signal of financial stress and broad coverage of the areas that could indicate it. The index is based on daily public-market data collected from four sectors of the financial markets—the credit, foreign exchange, equity, and interbank markets. A dynamic weighting method is employed to capture changes in the relative importance of these four sectors as they occur. In addition, the design of the index allows the origin of the stress to be identified. We compare the CFSI to alternative indexes, using a detailed benchmarking methodology, and show how the CFSI can be applied to systemic stress monitoring and early warning system design. To that end, we investigate alternative stress-signaling thresholds and frequency regimes and then establish optimal frequencies for filtering out market noise and idiosyncratic episodes. Finally, we quantify a powerful CFSI-based rating system that assigns a probability of systemic stress to ranges of CFSI outcomes. (PDF)
- SAFE: An Early Warning System for Systemic Banking Risk
- This paper builds on existing microprudential and macroprudential early warning systems (EWSs) to develop a new, hybrid class of models for systemic risk, incorporating the structural characteristics of the financial system and a feedback amplification mechanism. The models explain financial stress using both public and proprietary supervisory data from systemically important institutions, regressing institutional imbalances using an optimal lag method. The Systemic Assessment of Financial Environment (SAFE) EWS monitors microprudential information from the largest bank holding companies to anticipate the buildup of macroeconomic stresses in the financial markets. To mitigate inherent uncertainty, SAFE develops a set of medium-term forecasting specifications that gives policymakers enough time to take ex-ante policy action and a set of short-term forecasting specifications for verification and adjustment of supervisory actions. This paper highlights the application of these models to stress testing, scenario analysis, and policy. (PDF)
- A Medium Scale Forecasting Model for Monetary Policy
- This paper presents a 16-variable Bayesian VAR forecasting model of the U.S. economy for use in a monetary policy setting. The variables that comprise the model are selected not only for their effectiveness in forecasting the primary variables of interest, but also for their relevance to the monetary policy process. In particular, the variables largely coincide with those of an augmented New-Keynesian DSGE model. We provide out-of sample forecast evaluations and illustrate the computation and use of predictive densities and fan charts. Although the reduced form model is the focus of the paper, we also provide an example of structural analysis to illustrate the macroeconomic response of a monetary policy shock. (PDF)
- U.S. Monetary-Policy Evolution and U.S. Intervention
- The United States all but abandoned its foreign-exchange-market intervention operations in late 1995, when they proved corrosive to the credibility of the Federal Reserve?s commitment to price stability. We view this decision as the culmination of the evolution of U.S. monetary policy over the past century from a gold standard to a fiat money regime. The abandonment of intervention was necessary to secure monetary policy credibility. (PDF)
- When Should Children Start School?
- Kindergarten-entrance-age effects are difficult to identify due to the nonrandom allocation of entrance-age and simultaneous relative-age effects. This paper presents evidence that instrumental variable frameworks do not identify age effects for the youngest children of a cohort using the results of statistical tests for essential heterogeneity in initial enrollment decisions. Restricting attention to the oldest children in a cohort yields a sample with quasirandom variation in entrance and relative ages. This variation is used to identify the parameters of education production functions in which both entrance and relative ages are inputs for achievement. Estimates of entrance-age parameters from the ECLS-K data set are positive, large, and persist until the spring of third grade. Relative-age parameters are smaller, tend to be negative, and fade-out for math achievement by third grade. For the average child in our sample these estimates imply that both an earlier entrance cutoff date and an earlier birthdate will increase achievement if the child remains eligible. There is extreme heterogeneity in effects by gender and home environment, and these results are likely to be the most relevant for policy. (PDF)
- Ability Matching and Occupational Choice
- This paper develops and estimates an individual model of occupational choice and learning that allows for correlated learning across occupation-specific abilities. As an individual learns about their occupation-specific ability in one occupation, this experience will be broadly informative about their abilities in all occupations. Workers continually process their entire history of information, which they use to determine when to change careers, as well as which new career to go to. Endogenizing information in this manner has been computationally prohibitive in the past. I estimate the model in an innovative way using the Expectation and Maximization (EM) algorithm. The model is estimated on the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1997. The estimates suggest that both direct and indirect learning play an important role in early career wage growth, with those with the lowest levels of education achieving the largest increases. (PDF)
- Liquidity and the Threat of Fraudulent Assets
- We study an over-the-counter (OTC) market with bilateral meetings and bargaining where the usefulness of assets, as means of payment or collateral, is limited by the threat of fraudulent practices. We assume that agents can produce fraudulent assets at a positive cost, which generates endogenous upper bounds on the quantity of each asset that can be sold, or posted as collateral in the OTC market. Each endogenous, asset-specific, resalability constraint depends on the vulnerability of the asset to fraud, on the frequency of trade, and on the current and future prices of the asset. In equilibrium, the set of assets can be partitioned into three liquidity tiers, which differ in their resalability, their prices, their sensitivity to shocks, and their responses to policy interventions. The dependence of an asset's resalability on its price creates a pecuniary externality, which leads to the result that some policies commonly thought to improve liquidity can be welfare reducing.

- The Impact of Vacant, Tax-Delinquent, and Foreclosed Property on Sales Prices of Neighboring Homes
- In this empirical analysis, we estimate the impact of vacancy, neglect associated with property-tax delinquency, and foreclosures on the value of neighboring homes using parcel-level observations. Numerous studies have estimated the impact of foreclosures on neighboring properties, and these papers theorize that the foreclosure impact works partially through creating vacant and neglected homes. To our knowledge, this is only the second attempt to estimate the impact of vacancy itself and the first to estimate the impact of tax-delinquent properties on neighboring home sales. We link vacancy observations from Postal Service data with property-tax delinquency and sales data from Cuyahoga County (the county encompassing Cleveland, Ohio). We estimate hedonic price models with corrections for spatial autocorrelation. We find that an additional property within 500 feet that is vacant, delinquent, or both reduces the home's selling price by at least 1.3 percent. In low-poverty areas, tax-current foreclosed homes have large negative impacts of 4.6 percent. In high-poverty areas, we observe positive correlations of sale prices with tax-current foreclosures and negative correlations with tax-delinquent foreclosures. This may reflect selective foreclosing on better-maintained properties or better maintenance by tax-paying foreclosure auction winners. The marginal medium-poverty census tracts display the largest negative responses to vacancy and delinquency in nearby nonforeclosed homes. (PDF)
- Assessing the Evidence on Neighborhood Effects from Moving to Opportunity
This paper has been substantially revised. For the new version see WP no. 12-33 (PDF)].
- Tests of Equal Forecast Accuracy for Overlapping Models
- This paper examines the asymptotic and finite-sample properties of tests of equal forecast accuracy when the models being compared are overlapping in the sense of Vuong (1989). Two models are overlapping when the true model contains just a subset of variables common to the larger sets of variables included in the competing forecasting models. We consider an out-of-sample version of the two-step testing procedure recommended by Vuong but also show that an exact one-step procedure is sometimes applicable. When the models are overlapping, we provide a simple-to-use fixed regressor wild bootstrap that can be used to conduct valid inference. Monte Carlo simulations generally support the theoretical results: the two-step procedure is conservative while the one-step procedure can be accurately sized when appropriate. We conclude with an empirical application comparing the predictive content of credit spreads to growth in real stock prices for forecasting U.S. real GDP growth. (PDF)
- Advances in Forecast Evaluation
- This paper surveys recent developments in the evaluation of point forecasts. Taking West's (2006) survey as a starting point, we briefly cover the state of the literature as of the time of West's writing. We then focus on recent developments, including advancements in the evaluation of forecasts at the population level (based on true, unknown model coefficients), the evaluation of forecasts in the finite sample (based on estimated model coefficients), and the evaluation of conditional versus unconditional forecasts. We present original results in a few subject areas: the optimization of power in determining the split of a sample into in-sample and out-of-sample portions; whether the accuracy of inference in evaluation of multistep forecasts can be improved with the judicious choice of HAC estimator (it can); and the extension of West's (1996) theory results for population-level, unconditional forecast evaluation to the case of conditional forecast evaluation.

- Inter-Regional Home Price Dynamics through the Foreclosure Crisis
- Overall regional conditions such as employment, geography, and amenities, favor the co-movement of housing prices in central cities and their suburbs. Simultaneously, over half a century of sprawl may induce a negative relation between suburban and central city home prices, with central city values falling relative to suburban home values. What happens to the relationship between subhousing markets when cities are shocked by the foreclosure crisis? This paper builds repeat-sales indices to explore home price dynamics before and after the foreclosure crisis in the Cleveland area, a market that in the aggregate had little home price appreciation prior to the crisis, but significant follow-up depreciation. The analysis finds evidence that connectedness, expressed as the relative importance of neighboring housing market conditions in explaining city home prices, increases among submarkets even as they experience varying levels of foreclosure rates, and that foreclosure effects give little sign of receding in the near future. The analysis is relevant to the discussion of economic recovery among city and suburban communities as the nation faces high inventories of soon-to-be foreclosed properties. (PDF)
- The Federal Reserve as an Informed Foreign-Exchange Trader: 1973-1995
- If official interventions convey private information useful for price discovery in foreign-exchange markets, then they should have value as a forecast of near-term exchange-rate movements. Using a set of standard criteria, we show that approximately 60 percent of all U.S. foreign-exchange interventions between 1973 and 1995 were successful in this sense. This percentage, however, is no better than random. U.S. intervention sales and purchases of foreign exchange were incapable of forecasting dollar appreciations or depreciations. U.S. interventions, however, were associated with more moderate dollar movements in a manner consistent with leaning against the wind, but only about 22 percent of all U.S. interventions conformed to this pattern. We also found that the larger the size of an intervention, the greater was its probability of success, although some interventions were inefficiently large. Other potential characteristics of intervention, notably coordination and secrecy, did not seem to influence our success rates. (PDF)

- Indexed Debt Contracts and the Financial Accelerator
- This paper addresses the positive and normative implications of indexing risky debt to observable aggregate conditions. These issues are pursued within the context of the celebrated financial accelerator model of Bernanke, Gertler and Gilchrist (1999). The principal conclusions are that the optimal degree of indexation is significant, and that the business cycle properties of the model are altered under this level of indexation. (PDF)
- Public Policy in Support of Small Business: The American Experience
- Information problems in small enterprise credit markets can result in a market equilibrium characterized by credit rationing. These information problems are potentially more severe during sharp economic downturns such as the recent Great Recession. Government interventions to alleviate credit constraints on small firms need to be designed to correct the specific market failure resulting in socially suboptimal credit flows. We argue that Small Business Administration loan guarantees are a potentially appropriate intervention and provide a review of empirical research that supports our contention. (PDF)
- Beyond the Transaction: Depository Institutions and Reduced Mortgage Default for Low-Income Homebuyers
- We evaluate the effects of the lending institution and soft information on mortgage loan performance for low-income homebuyers. We find that even after controlling for bank selection, those who receive a loan from a local bank are significantly less likely to become delinquent or default than other bank or nonbank borrowers, suggesting an information effect. These effects are most pronounced for higher-risk borrowers, who likely benefit more from informational advantages of local banks. These findings support previous research on small business lending and provide additional explanation for observed differences in mortgage loan performance between bank and nonbank lenders. (PDF)
- Banking Relationships and Sell-Side Research
- This paper examines disclosures by sell-side analysts when their institution has a lending relationship with the firms being covered. Lending-affiliated analysts' earnings forecasts are found to be more accurate relative to forecasts by other analysts but this differential accuracy manifests itself only after the advent of the loan. Despite this increased earnings forecast accuracy, lending-affiliated analysts exhibit undue optimism in their brokerage recommendations and forecasts of long term growth. The optimism exists both before and after the lending commences. The evidence suggests that any insights into the covered firm via the lending relationship are employed by bank analysts in a selective manner. They appear unwilling to compromise on disclosures where ex post accuracy is clearly revealed, possibly to preserve their own personal reputation. However, they are overly optimistic on other disclosures where resolution is less readily verifiable, possibly to promote their lending client's financial standing. (PDF)
- On the Evolution of U.S. Foreign-Exchange-Market Intervention: Thesis, Theory, and Institutions
- Attitudes about foreign-exchange-market intervention in the United States evolved in tandem with views about monetary policy as policy makers grappled with the perennial problem of having more economic objectives than independent instruments with which to achieve them. This paper—the introductory chapter to our history of U.S. foreign exchange market intervention—explains this thesis and summarizes our conclusion: The Federal Reserve abandoned frequent foreign-exchange-market intervention because, rather than providing a solution to the instruments-versus-objectives problem, it interfered with the Federal Reserve's ability to credibly commit to low and stable inflation. This chapter also provides a theoretical discussion of intervention, background on U.S. institutions for conducting intervention, and a roadmap to the remainder of our book. (PDF)
- Bayesian VARs: Specification Choices and Forecast Accuracy
- In this paper we examine how the forecasting performance of Bayesian VARs is affected by a number of specification choices. In the baseline case, we use a Normal-Inverted Wishart prior that, when combined with a (pseudo-) iterated approach, makes the analytical computation of multi-step forecasts feasible and simple, in particular when using standard and fixed values for the tightness and the lag length. We then assess the role of the optimal choice of the tightness, of the lag length and of both; compare alternative approaches to multi-step forecasting (direct, iterated, and pseudo-iterated); discuss the treatment of the error variance and of cross-variable shrinkage; and address a set of additional issues, including the size of the VAR, modeling in levels or growth rates, and the extent of forecast bias induced by shrinkage. We obtain a large set of empirical results, but we can summarize them by saying that we find very small losses (and sometimes even gains) from the adoption of specification choices that make BVAR modeling quick and easy. This finding could therefore further enhance the diffusion of the BVAR as an econometric tool for a vast range of applications. (PDF)
- Search Frictions and the Labor Wedge
- We show that search frictions embedded in an RBC model primarily manifest themselves at the extensive margin. The ability to distinguish between the intensive and extensive margins, however, affects the measurement of the marginal rate of substitution (MRS). In fact, the correct measurement of the MRS, in terms of hours per worker, implies a less variable and procyclical labor wedge than the one found in Chari et al. (2007), especially at low Frisch elasticity. The main result is very robust to alternative wage determination mechanisms, even though implications for employment fluctuations may differ. (PDF)
- Prioritization in Private-Activity-Bond Volume Cap Allocation
- This paper proposes and tests a structural model reflecting the process of authorizing private-activity municipal bond issuance. Private-activity municipal bonds offer tax-exempt financing for programs including industrial development, utilities, low-income housing, and student loans. The Federal tax code sets annual caps on the total tax-exempt issuance within each state, so authorization becomes a scarce resource distributed via a political process. Interviews with program administrators in several states suggested the authorization process involves prioritizing categories of use, authorizing bonds for high-priority uses first, and then authorizing bonds for lower-priority uses until the cap is exhausted. A model representing this process suggests variables to include in reduced-form estimations and an alternative interpretation of the coefficients. The fit of the model can be improved by adding measures of political influence and imposing a structure that reflects the political prioritization process. In general, industrial development and utilities appear to be the highest priority uses of private-activity municipal bonds. Mortgage revenue bonds are the residual category most frequently. (PDF)
- False Security: How Securitization Failed to Protect Arrangers and Investors from Borrower Claims
- The future of housing finance is in a state of flux. In February 2011, the Obama Administration released a proposal outlining three plans for the future of housing finance. In all three plans, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae will be phased out over a period of years and replaced with a private securitization market, which may be backed, in whole or in part, by a government guarantee. Whether the final plan relies upon government-guaranteed securities or private-label securities, Congress will have to resolve a range of complex legal aspects of securitization, from the bankruptcy remoteness of pools of securities to setting national standards for loans and financing. One issue that does not appear to be getting much attention is the potential liability of the parties to a securitization for the unlawful actions of loan originators. In this paper, the authors take the position that any new housing finance system must clarify the liability of participants in the securitization pipeline so that the market can more accurately price securities up front and create incentives for more effective compliance programs to stop problem loans from entering the pipeline.(PDF)
- U.S. Intervention during the Bretton Wood Era:1962-1973
- By the early 1960s, outstanding U.S. dollar liabilities began to exceed the U.S. gold stock, suggesting that the United States could not completely maintain its pledge to convert dollars into gold at the official price. This raised uncertainty about the Bretton Woods parity grid, and speculation seemed to grow. In response, the Federal Reserve instituted a series of swap lines to provide central banks with cover for unwanted, but temporary accumulations of dollars and to provide foreign central banks with dollar funds to finance their own interventions. The Treasury also began intervening in the market. The operations often forestalled gold losses, but in so doing, delayed the need to solve Bretton Woods' fundamental underlying problems. In addition, the institutional arrangements forged between the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Treasury raised important questions bearing on Federal Reserve independence. (PDF)
- Inflation Expectations, Real Rates, and Risk Premia: Evidence from Inflation Swaps
- This paper develops a model of the term structures of nominal and real interest rates driven by state variables representing the short-term real interest rate, expected inflation, inflation's central tendency, and four volatility factors that follow GARCH processes. We derive analytical solutions for nominal bond yields, yields on inflation-indexed bonds that have an indexation lag, and the term structure of expected inflation. Unlike prior studies, the model's parameters are estimated using data on inflation swap rates, as well as nominal yields and survey forecasts of inflation. The volatility state variables fully determine bonds' time-varying risk premia and allow for stochastic volatility and correlation between bond yields, yet they have small effects on the cross section of nominal yields. Allowing for time-varying volatility is particularly important for real interest rate and expected inflation processes, but long-horizon real and inflation risk premia are relatively stable. Comparing our model prices of inflation-indexed bonds to those of Treasury Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS) suggests that TIPS were significantly underpriced prior to 2004 and again during the 2008-2009 financial crisis. (PDF)
- The Demand for Income Tax Progressivity in the Growth Model
- This paper examines the degree of income tax progressivity chosen through a simple majority vote in a model with savings. Households have permanent differences with respect to their labor productivity and their discount factors. The government has limited commitment to future policy so voting is repeated every period. Because the model features mobility within the wealth distribution, the median voter is determined endogenously. In a numerical experiment, the model is initialized to the 1992 U.S. joint distribution of income and wealth as well as several statistics of the federal income tax distribution. Support for a high degree of progressivity is widespread. In the long run, households that vote for lower progressivity have high labor productivity and/or very high wealth. A movement towards greater progressivity decreases aggregate capital and income as well as long-run income and wealth inequality. (PDF)
- Liquidity in Frictional Asset Markets
- On November 14-15, 2008, the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland hosted a conference on "Liquidity in Frictional Asset Markets." In this paper we review the literature on asset markets with trading frictions in both finance and monetary theory using a simple search-theoretic model, and we discuss the papers presented at the conference in the context of this literature. We will show the diversity of topics covered in this literature, e.g., the dynamics of housing and credit markets, the functioning of payment systems, optimal monetary policy and the cost of inflation, the role of banks, the effect of informational frictions on asset trading. (PDF)
- On the Coexistence of Money and Higher-Return Assets and its Social Role
- This paper adopts mechanism design to tackle the central issue in monetary theory, namely, the coexistence of money and higher-return assets. I describe an economy with pairwise meetings, where fiat money and risk-free capital compete as means of payment. Whenever fiat money has an essential role, any constrained-efficient allocation is such that capital commands a higher rate of return than fiat money. (PDF)
- The Cost of Inflation: A Mechanism Design Approach
- I apply mechanism design to quantify the cost of inflation that can be attributed to monetary frictions alone. In an environment with pairwise meetings, the money demand that is consistent with a constrained-efficient allocation takes the form of a continuous correspondence that can fit the data over the period 1900-2006. For such parameterizations, the cost of moderate inflation is zero. This result is robust to different assumptions regarding the observability of money holdings, the introduction of match-specific heterogeneity, and endogeneous participation decisions. (PDF)
- Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Goals in Government Procurement Contracting: An Analysis of Bidding Behavior and Costs
- Programs that encourage the participation of disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE) as subcontractors have been a part of government procurement auctions for over three decades. In this paper, we examine the impact of a program that requires prime contractors to subcontract out a portion of a highway procurement project to DBE firms. We study how DBE subcontracting requirements affect bidding behavior in federally funded projects. Within a symmetric independent private value framework, we use the equilibrium bidding function to obtain the cost distribution of firms undertaking projects either with or without subcontracting goals. We then use nonparametric estimation methodsto uncover and compare the cost of firms bidding on a class of asphalt projects related to surface treatment in Texas. The analysis shows little differences in the cost structure between auctions that have subcontracting goals and those that do not. (PDF)

Incontinence in Men: Products, Diet, & Lifestyle
The Emotional Toll of Urinary Incontinence in Men
The Impact of Male Incontinence continued...
"If you peer into the lives of some men with incontinence," Wright tells WebMD "they would meet all the criteria for depression." They lose interest in things they used to enjoy and start secluding themselves, he says. Their jobs are affected and their sex lives fall apart. "But they're too embarrassed to talk about it," Wright adds, "so they wind up living in their own private hell."
So how specifically does male incontinence affect a man's life?
- Work. Obviously, any guy with urinary incontinence is going to be anxious about mishaps while at work. But men who have jobs with physical demands may find that it's worse than that. "Some men find that heavy lifting at work can cause leaking," says Griebling. "They can be really stuck. Sometimes they try to change what they do at work or get a new job altogether."
- Social Life. Incontinence can quickly diminish the scope of a man's personal life. Your pals ask you out on the town. Your girlfriend wants to go to the movies. But your decision is always dictated by the answer to the same question: how close will I be to a bathroom? Car rides of any length might seem out of the question. So can sports. Maybe the physicality of tennis triggers symptoms; maybe golf takes you too far from the clubhouse. When male incontinence is severe -- or severely stressful -- it can feel easiest and safest to stay home.
- Relationships and sexual health. Male incontinence can put enormous stress on a marriage."I see some guys who really alienate their spouses," says Wright. "They're just not comfortable talking about it, so they push their wives away."
Their sex lives suffer too. "Some men limit or completely stop sexual activity because they have a fear of leaking," says Griebling. Unfortunately, it's not an irrational fear. "I've seen some men who only have incontinence during sexual activity," he tells WebMD. It doesn't take more than a single mishap for a guy to become terribly self-conscious.
- Sleep. The stress of male incontinence alone can keep some guys awake. And if you're popping out of bed every couple of hours to run to the bathroom, you're not getting much rest. You start each day exhausted and dragging, which only makes your mood worse.

Injuries were the story at Bourbonnais on Monday. Backup defensive end Turk McBride was ruled out for the season with a torn Achilles tendon. The Bears are short on the DL now, they are already without defensive end Israel Idonije, who is now with Detroit, and free agent acquisition Sedrick Ellis, who decided to retire at age 28. Left tackle Jermon Bushrod missed Monday's practice with a right calf strain that actually occurred in the warm-up period before practice. He's been called day to day by Trestman. Jonathan Scott replaced Bushrod at left tackle. ... Wide receiver Brandon Marshall was given Monday's practice off and the entire team will be off on Tuesday. The idea is to give Marshall extra rest as he is coming off off-season hip surgery. ... Defensive end Cheta Ozougwu suffered a slight hamstring pull and is day to day.

This gymnastics inspired workout was developed by the American Council on Exercise in partnership with Olympic gold medalist and President's Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition Co-chair, Dominique Dawes. As Dominique says, "Gymnastics is a great combination of strength, balance and coordination. You get out of the training what you put in, which means you get to choose your own success." This workout focuses on strength, with the inclusion of pushing exercises which strengthen key muscles, such as the chest, triceps and shoulders.
For a general cardiovascular warm-up, perform 5-10 minutes of a low-to-moderate intensity aerobic exercise such as walking, riding a stationary cycle or using an elliptical trainer.

For the Birds: Heather Levine Ceramics
Heather Levine is a ceramic artist based out of LA, and we've been a fan of her work for some time. Influenced by Scandinavian design and California's mid-century landscapes and textile designs, we are currently eyeing her handmade birdhouses.
1. Jade Mineral Birdhouse
2. Iron Mineral Birdhouse
3. Granite Mineral Birdhouse
4. Copper Mineral Birdhouse
You can pick up one of these birdhouses at Terrain for $338.

$338! That's half a mortgage payment!
$338??? lol
I have a similarly shaped birdhouse. For decorative purposes only. If used outside, it just fills with rain. More of a birdbath, really... Agree, the price seems ridiculous, but it's pretty apparent that many AT readers are extremely wealthy and price is not something they ever have to consider. Jealous, I am.
You can't even open them to periodically clean them out. No thanks.
At that price, I'd be scared to put them outside, cute as they are.
Those are lovely, but inappropriate for birds (given the price, I suppose they are just decorative, but you never know what people will do). If you want to encourage birds to nest in your yard, please buy or make boxes that are appropriate and healthy for local species -- and cleanable! You can find boxes or plans for them through Audubon.org.
I think the title says it all.

Despite having the best brains in the business, some investors and corporate executives have made downright disastrous decisions.
Even the most brilliant minds in finance can make terrible mistakes.

If you think ghosts and goblins are scary...
In the spirit of All Hallows Eve, I've compiled a list of five things that should have you spooked -- they certainly spook me.
1.) Unemployment: It's a problem
There is a quote that is often attributed (falsely, in all likelihood) to New Yorker journalist Pauline Kael regarding Nixon's 1972 election victory. She "couldn't believe that Nixon had won" as no one she knew had voted for him. (Despite this, Nixon managed to carry all but one state.)
While the coffee giants cater to different consumers, both are driving sales through innovation and expansion.
By Lindsey Bell, TheStreet
Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) and Starbucks (SBUX) make most of their money selling coffee, but their customer base couldn't be more different. Which has the winning formula? This week's earnings reports will answer that question.
The health of consumers, the engine of the U.S. economy, is investors' biggest concern at the moment.
Recent studies show plenty of mainstream support for some of the issues that define the protest movement.
By Seth Fiegerman, MainStreet
The Occupy Wall Street protesters were first ignored by the media and then maligned by certain outlets, but more recently a slew of reports and surveys have come out showing the movement may be on to something after all.
As difficult as it may be to nail down exactly what the protesters stand for, much of their attention is devoted to the growing indebtedness of average households, along with the growing gap between the wealthy and the poor, and ultimately the concern that the wealthy are exerting too much control over the political process.
This specialized lender provides financing for New York City cab medallions, which are incredibly expensive.
Leon Murstein moved to the United States from Argentina in 1937 and became a New York cab driver, buying his first taxi medallion license for just $10. He then bought more, which he leased to other drivers.
Today, his son and grandson run Medallion Financial (TAXI), which has loaned more than $3 billion to taxi companies to buy medallions that now cost $975,000.
Railroads are likely to lead the markets higher in the weeks ahead, and these three in particular will be good buys on pullbacks.
By Tom Aspray, MoneyShow.com
One key market sector that topped out in May was the Dow Jones Transportation Average ($DJT). It had been a market-leading sector since the 2009 lows, but its weak performance last summer weighed down the overall market.
Norfolk Southern (NSC) reported very strong earnings last week, which helped other railroad stocks surge. The recent report from the Association of American Railroads also helped, as the group reported that so far in 2011, rail traffic is up 1.7% over last year.
Whirpool's earnings missed estimates. Are shares getting pulled under?
By Jonathan Chen, Benzinga Staff Writer
Whirlpool (WHR) reported quarterly earnings last week that were nothing short of shocking, missing Wall Street estimates and sending shares down more than 11% Friday. Shares fell another 1.4% Monday.
The securities firm led by Jon Corzine has plunged in value since making bad bets in Europe.
A securities firm run by former New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine filed for bankruptcy protection Monday, brought down by risky bets in Europe.
Trading in shares of MF Global (MF) has been halted as the company scrambles to figure out its future. Corzine was trying to find a buyer over the weekend, reports say.
This subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch InBev dominates the fast-growing markets of South America.
Our latest trading recommendation is Brazil's Companhia de Bebidas Das Americas (ABV), commonly known as Ambev.

A lack of sustained direction has led to lots of wavering over the past year.
Are we on the verge of a full-blown bull market?
Maybe, but keep in mind that the past 12 months have seen a multitude of miniature bull markets, all of which hit a wall.
For the first part of the past year, however, the market acted fairly normal. From late October 2010 to Feb. 18, 2011, the S&P 500 "slowly" spiked 13.6%. Then, from March 16 to April 29, the market rallied by 8.5%.
The health insurer guides higher, and the oil company is expected to post a gain.
Humana (HUM), the health insurer, earned $2.54 a share on an adjusted basis in the third quarter, topping analysts' estimates, and it raised guidance for 2011. Analysts were expecting third-quarter profit of $2.03 a share. Humana said it expects earnings in 2011 of $8.35 to $8.40 a share, up from its previous estimate of $7.50 to $7.60 a share.
Anadarko Petroleum (APC) is expected to report third-quarter earnings of 67 cents a share after the markets close, up from 21 cents a share at the same time last year.

Fillis assisted in securing a $7 million naming rights partnership with High Point Solutions and a $5 million apparel partnership with Nike. He was also able to secure nearly $1 million in new revenue in an agreement with MillerCoors. This deal was the first of its kind at Rutgers University.

Why is Sumatran coffee so contentious? Coffees in Sumatra are traditionally processed using a method called Giling Basah, or wet-hulling, which results in a coffee that leaves the farm with a much higher moisture content than other methods used more popularly worldwide.

12 years after opening my first coffee shop, I'm opening another—my sixth. I've learned a lot about opening and running coffee shops, some through making major mistakes. There's the obvious stuff (manage your cashflow, pay your taxes, etc.), the almost-as-obvious stuff (use good quality coffee, hire good people), and the stuff that nobody tells you about but may make the difference between running decent café and a really great one. Today we'll focus on that last category of advice. More

It looks like several teams chose not to offer salary arbitration to their key players, which makes the free agent period more interesting, at least if you are looking for a power bat. Sluggers who weren't offered arbitration include Adam Dunn, Pat Burrell, and Bobby Abreu. With the Mets perhaps in the market for adding another bat to the lineup (if they can find the money for one), I wouldn't be surprised if they at least kicked the tires on one of those three, particularly if they could get a deal done in the 2-3 years range. While these hitters might be looking for Carlos Lee money, in this free agent market with the uncertain economy, it appears unlikely that Carlos Lee money is out there for a non-Manny player.
It seems that a lot of pitchers were offered arbitration, though. Brian Fuentes and Francisco Rodriguez, the top closers both linked to the Mets in free agent talks this offseason, will both cost the Mets a first round pick should they sign one of them. The top setup man, Juan Cruz, also received an offer for arbitration; this makes it seem likely to me he winds up back in Arizona. Kerry Wood was not offered arbitration, which makes him more attractive for the Mets. It remains to be seen if the Mets might inquire about Wood; his injury history is definitely scary, particularly with the Mets already paying an injured closer to sit out a year, but for a 1-2 year deal, he might be worth investigating.
Free agent pitchers offered arbitration include the big names; C.C. Sabathia, A.J. Burnett, Derek Lowe, and Ben Sheets. The Mets also offered Oliver Perez arbitration, meaning if he should sign with another team, they will receive two draft picks as compensation. Lowe had been linked to the Mets in the past, but it appears that the Yankees and Red Sox may have inflated his value past what they are willing to pay, so he may no longer be in play. Burnett had supposedly been cold about returning to the organization that originally drafted him, and Sheets' injury history made him a longshot to sign with the Mets. Jon Garland, a pitcher whom the Mets have supposedly had interest (and mark me down in the "thanks but no thanks" category on him) was offered arbitration, but as a Type B, he would not cost the Mets a pick.
Oliver Perez was the only Met offered arbitration; Luis Ayala and Moises Alou were not offered arbitration, and would not net the Mets a draft pick should they sign elsewhere. I assume this means that the Mets have no interest in retaining either of these two players, at any cost, and thus did not want to risk them accepting arbitration and returning to the Mets, particularly if they found a noticeable lack of interest on the free agent market. Pedro Martinez was also not offered arbitration, but this was largely irrelevant since he would not have gained the Mets any draft picks either way.

Rick Berman is the figure behind LEED Exposed, a shadowy astroturfing website that seeks to tilt the debate about building performance and development.
As one of today's most notorious designers in New York, Robert Scarano, Jr., claims that he has reformed his filing practices. But is his newfound evangelization of sustainable design a convenient cover for business as usual?

KI - Künstliche Intelligenz
Artificial Intelligence has successfully established itself as a scientific discipline in research and education and has become an integral part of Computer Science with an interdisciplinary character. AI deals with both the development of information processing systems that deliver "intelligent" services and with the modeling of human cognitive skills with the help of information processing systems. Research, development and applications in the field of AI pursue the general goal of creating processes for taking in and processing information that more closely resemble human problem-solving behavior, and to subsequently use those processes to derive methods that enhance and qualitatively improve conventional information processing systems. The Scientific journal KI – Künstliche Intelligenz is the official journal of the division for artificial intelligence within the 'Gesellschaft für Informatik e.V.' (GI) – the German Informatics Society – with contributions from throughout the field of artificial intelligence. The journal presents all relevant aspects of artificial intelligence – the fundamentals and tools, their use and adaptation for scientific purposes, and applications that are implemented using AI methods – and thus provides readers with the latest developments in and well-founded background information on all relevant aspects of artificial intelligence. A highly reputed team of editors from both university and industry will ensure the scientific quality of the articles.The journal provides all members of the AI community with quick access to current topics in the field, while also promoting vital interdisciplinary interchange. The journal is published in English; articles in German are also accepted

The Signpost Weber State College Volume 50, Issue 10 Wednesday, September 27, 1989 e it )- I V- t Higher Ed. rallies for teachers. but. Presidents say no to walk-out By Necia Palmer News editor for The Signpost Dean Jones of the School of Education sent a memo to all WSC student teachers stating that they were not to "replace regular teachers, nor participate in any organized labor activities." They were to return to the school. Gloria McAuliffe, secretary for Student Teaching at WSC, said that the. student teachers from WSC used the time that the teacher were on strike to prepare for their classes. "They can't be involved at all, they are just student teaching," she said. "We have to justify with the state. This time will count in preparation." However, the effects of the sudden walk-out started at Davis High School last Friday has affected the system of higher education in another way. The student body of the ' - r P K ' WANTS Tit ' ! WELCOME WEEK ACTIVITIES included sponsored by Pi Kappa Alpha Tuesday Kids strike out with teacher Strike see page 4 Universtiy of Utah will show their support of the strike by walking out of their classes this Friday. They plan to have a rally that day also. . John Jordan, SBPofSalt Lake Community College, said that they " whole heartedly support " Hola's decision, but because of a lack of faculty support they will hold a rally in place of a walk out. "We would follow the teachers in a walk-out. . . (but there are) more effective ways to handle the situation." Layne Alvey, ASWSC President The rally will be held at noon Friday.

Surjeet Malhan was one of two recipients of the Nurturing Hands Award given at the Tenth Annual families Alive Conference held at Weber State College Sept. 20-22. Student senate establishes committees to help encourage better legislation By Scott Summerill Senior reporter of The Signpost In their first meeting of the autumn quarter, the ASWSC Senate initiated a bill to expedite Senate activities and ensure more pertinent legislation. The bill, sponsored by Social Science Senator Treg Julander, Non-traditional Students Senator Dan Alsup and Physically Challenged Students Senator Melvin Feller, set the criteria for the formation of four Senate sub-committees tooversee matters of concern in the areas of finance, policy, rules and personnel. Cats to meet Trojans of USC see page 16 Malhan, director of the Institute of Home Economics at the University of New Delhi in India, received the honor during an awards luncheon at the conference. Recogni ze d for her 3 8 years of research on the family, Malhan was presented the award by Margaret Nadauld, wife of Weber State president, Stephan Nadauld. Malhan has written 10 books and 28 papers, founded four According to the sponsors, the bill will reduce lengthy Senate arguments over unimportant items and allow the body to concentrate on the "meat" of the issues. "It's just to expedite matters so we oon't spend a lot of time arguing over trivial points," said Feller. In addition, the newly enacted procedure is designed to promote better research on legislation by forcing it to pass the scrutiny of committee before it can be presented on the Senate floor. The process should also prevent meaningless and poorly drafted resolutions from reaching the body. However, said Alsup, "if a Senator has a hot bill, he could INSIDE News 2 After Hours 1 1 Editorial 4 Sports 16 Arts 9 Classifieds 19 3 CD i CO "0 o TJ zr O Q Q X C Q. ,: r ' !. colleges in New Delhi and started drug abuse centers where addicts and their families receive counseling and referral services. Malhan said strong cultural values create strong families and praised the conference for bringing out the ongoing research into the social function and other activities of the family. "Ever since the dawn of (See HANDS page 8 ) lobby for two thirds support and take it directly to the Senate floor with a suspension of the rules." Likewise, a bill that is defeated in committee can still be taken to the body under certain circumstances, according to Feller. "If a bill gets killed, you could still get a two-thirds support and get a suspension of the rules to take it to the floor," he said. In accordance with the legislation, the committee member appointments were based on seniority. Natural Science Senator Jodi Budge questioned the validity of the seniority rule.

|Associated Students of Weber College; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

Lets tallk about what JBay brings ??
imo, ability to score, lateral quickness, good defender, fire off the bench.
Lets talk about what JBay doesnt ??
the biggest things I hear are that is he is cocky and not a "true pg ".
I don't care. Imo, a Blazer championship does not depend on either.
Imo, the answer to " pg of the future" is who works with Roy. No matter who is brought in, that will always be the most important to me.
If Blazer brass was convinced JBay was the answer, why did they bring in AJ and EW ?? Go Blazers !!!
Posted 09/12/2010 9:45 AM
well i have a few issues with bayless but lets start with the good. he has a pretty good work ethic. you look at how hes improved. 1. he has an okay longball now that people have to get a hand up now. 2. he doesnt jump to pass anymore.(which any coach will tell you. DO NOT LEAVE YOUR FEET TO PASS) 3. he doesnt put his hand on the guards hip anymore. 4. doesnt commit silly fouls.(see # 3)
problems i have with bayless 1. the biggest issue is i watched bayless get burnt over and over again by dragic when he was trying to apply pressure to him. however, he didn't get burned by nash like that when he was on him... that's 100% mental... "oh this is the backup pg for the suns hes not as good as nash. therefore i dont have to try as hard" bayless is young so hopefully being around another season along with coaches talking to him about it... that attitude will change. 2. see #1 3. see #1 4. i dont see him as someone that can play off the ball ever. it doesnt come natural to him... meaning in the last 2mins of the game. the ball goes into roys hands... bayless doesnt know what to do then. but once again hes young lots of talent... but hes very young.
Posted 09/12/2010 11:07 AM
I think many people are way to critical of Bayless. I like all the Blazers, but look, LaMarcus has been here four years, Oden three years, and Bayless only two years. Lamarcus has been giving SOOO MANY more opportunities, and hasn't yet reached his true potential. Oden has been effective while healthy, but never really healthy and we have been so patient with these two. I dont get why people are so impatient with Bayless. He is younger than these guys with just as much upside. Remember, he was projected to be the 4th overall pick in the 2008 draft when rose went #1, but he slipped, and we traded up to get him. People need to realize that he's obviously not going to be an all star at age 21, that is extremely difficult in the NBA.
As far as your questions, 1. Bayless brings the intensity that this team needs, and gets to the hoop better than anyone on the team besides Roy, and he is one of the better defenders on the team
2. He doesnt bring a consistent jump shot, and in my opinion, thats about it. But its still better than Andre's! 3.I think he may be the PGOTF,if given a chance. Remember people, when he started to get more minutes last year, at first he was a score first guard, but toward the end of the season, he was definitely passing the ball more and racking up more assists. 4.Why did the Blazers bring in two more guards in the draft. Come on now... every team drafts players even though they play the same position as another player, I GUARANTEE you the Lakers have drafted a shooting guard before, the Cavs have drafted a small forward, and the Mavericks have drafted a power forward for example. Teams draft players if they see value in them, regardless of position. I could see Bayless being a great player for the Blazers for years to come if/when he gets the opportunities. And thank you for reminding fans to keep this basketball related, because it is very annoying when fans come on here and are extremely rude and use profantity filled posts to show their knowledge, or lack there of, of a certain topic. But good topic, Thanks

AJ has a 6' 8" wingspan. Thats whats up !! Look past the Lakers. The east is a lot better, and it's time to look at defending a 7 game series. Rondo, Rose,and Chalmers also have nice wing spans. Is JBay's quickness enough ??
