Speaking of economics, there's still time to register for my Managerial Economics class. Just put together the assignments for the semester:

* Supply and demand in corporate news
* Cost of capital and uncompensated risk (business, equity, debt, and the mortgage crisis)
* Present value (tie in to number two)
* Price discrimination practical applications
* New product diffusion process - launch, tipping points, saturation or organic decay
* Real options given limited resources
* Game theory or multi-national currency risk (students' choice)

Just found out that I may have to go to SFO this weekend. Nothing left but completely full planes and B fares. Does anyone know if CO's "middle-seat guarantee" applies to both B and Y fares or only full Y?

As much as I like you, my boycott of Twitter continues unabated.

Yahtzee to this stay 2 get 1 Asia/Pacific promo for SPG. I guess I know which direction I'll be taking the honeymoon. :-:

Anyone heard any conspiracy theories about Hertz disabling the power ports in cars to prevent people from using their own GPS'? I had two cars last week from two different stations that had non-functioning power ports / cigarette lighters which prevented me from being able to charge my personal GPS.

When I plugged my unit into my personal car to try and determine which part had the FAIL it worked like a charm. </tinfoil hat>

While I could totally see Hertz doing that, it is quite :rolleyes: of them to deny people the ability to charge their phones as well.
