Actuaries Scrutinized on Pensions

What is going on in state and local defined benefit retirement funds is going to make the subprime crisis look like small change. The problem is that politicians have been promising benefits to employees at the state and local level that are unsustainable because 1) they are buying votes, and 2) by the time it [...]

NewsGator Enterprise Server for Free

We have made available a free version of NewsGator Enterprise Server for up to 20 users. This is not a timed version, it’s free… zero, zip, nada.

This is a pretty rich product, much more than a proxy for RSS feeds. If you are evaluating enterprise RSS you can take advantage of this download to setup [...]

People News

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for a while. Here’s some updates from people I respect:

Craig Cmehil

Politicians talk about healthcare reform almost exclusively from the payer side, as in forcing everyone to have insurance and the government establishing an entitlement program or expanding an existing one to cover [...]

Happy Birthday NYSE

The world’s leading stock exchange can trace it’s origins to this day in 1792 and a humble buttonwood tree on Wall St.

Wall St. itself has an interesting history and is quite literal indeed. The first iteration was a picket fence used to denote boundaries for plots of land, later versions were actual fortifications used to [...]

Denver Hotel Reviews
