Security and Exchange

S.E.C. Issues Temporary Ban on Short-Selling

The Securities and Exchange Commission issued
a temporary ban Friday morning on short sales
of 799 financial stocks, following a similar
action in Britain the day before. Short selling
-- a bet that a stock price will decline -- has
often been blamed for forcing prices down in times
of market stress.

Local Academics
(Integrative Studies)

What’s the relationship between

1) Our Shared Governance Concerns
2) Sustainability Club (greening et al) &
3) Economics Doing its Economics Thing?

Those may seem scattered: fragments of
some whole; but I bet five dollars if any put
a grade-gun to our collective head



and insisted:

Look: find a relationship between
these 3! Integrate this triad!

we could do it. People come up with connections,
explanations, interpretations, blamations, because
& affects, reasons why and remedies, too: tweaking
and adjusting the whole so as to sustain and maintain
life as I know it and want it. .

It’s all relative. Related. We draw distinctions
and then argue them out--put them in play.
Academics! .
