Does watching the stock market feel a bit like being in an unstable relationship? In the last week Wall Street has felt more like roller coaster track than any street I’d like to live on.
So what is exactly is going on with the stock market?
1. Fear
“Fear is driving much of the selling, mainly fear of more substantial losses to come,” says Todd Harrison, author of The Other Side of Wall Street.
2. Uncertainty about the banking situation in Europe.
3. Lack of faith in Washington
“After the debt-ceiling debacle in Washington and the inability of lawmakers to come up with solutions to the nation’s debt problems, investors have lost faith in the ability of leaders to lead,” writes Shell.

Most commentary on redistricting is concerned with fairness to groups, be they racial, political, or geographic. This Essay highlights another facet of the redistricting problem: how the configuration of districts affects the ability of low-information voters to secure responsive, accountable governance.

Q. How can I work with multiple time zones in Outlook?
A. You can accommodate multiple time zones two ways. First, from Calendar Options, which can be accessed from the File tab in 2010 and from Tools-Options in 2007, choose to show a second time zone. You can only show one other time zone at a time, but they are easily changeable. They are only visible in the days and weeks view. They will not appear in the month view.
Another way to handle time zones is directly from a meeting notice. In the Appointment, Meeting or Event dialog tab, look in the Options group and locate the Time Zones button. This allows you to choose the time zone you wish to plan in. W
