Vulgar Monetarism. Vulgar Monetarism: Do you want to show that Alan Greenspan is an idiot inflationist, who caused the bubble of the late 1990s by pumping up the money supply beyond all reason? If you're a vulgar monetarist, it's easy: you just trot out a chart of the annual rate of growth of the money stock, M3,* and your case is proved. Look at the extraordinary acceleration in the rate of growth of M3 after 1994! Look with what ludicrous and unprofessional... [Semi-Daily Journal]
Okay, this article has way too much hard-core economics for me to understand at his time of night but I do want to read this later. 10:40:38 PM

Warren Buffett on Options Accounting and the Senate. Warren Buffett reminds us that it was Senate pressure on Arthur Levitt that has kept options from being accounted a cost for the past eight years. Who Really Cooks the Books? ...The Senate itself is the major reason corporations have been able to duck option expensing. On May 3, 1994, the Senate, led by Senator Joseph Lieberman, pushed the Financial Accounting Standards Board and Arthur Levitt, then chairman of the S.E.C., into backing down from mandating that options be expensed....

Platelet molecule regulates blood coagulation, study finds. New research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill has found that a fatty molecule on the surface of platelet cells is a regulator of blood coagulation. Besides its role in forming cell membranes, the lipid phosphatidylserine, or PS, also appears to activate the final step in the process of blood coagulation - the conversion of prothrombin to thrombin, the central enzyme of coagulation.

My last projects at Immunex dealt with hemostasis and thrombosis, so this is an interesting area for further work. 10:19:14 PM
