| Host Neil Patrick Harris may have said it best in his introduction to the th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: I love television, because its more than entertainment its education! Surprising, but true: there are money lessons to be had from best drama series winner Breaking Bad, best comedy series Modern Family and other small screen favorites. Arthur Keown, a finance professor at Virginia Tech and author of Personal Finance: Turning Money Into Wealth, even uses television examples in his classes. Its everywhere, he said. If you think about it, a lot of the predicaments that people get into on TV are financial, and there probably isnt anything you could write about on television that someone hasnt gotten into trouble with [in real life]. Of course, not every character in every situation is worth emulating 每 heres looking at you,www.bootswholesaleshop.com, Walter White 每 but primetime television is surprisingly rife with practical advice, if you look hard enough. Here are some of the best financial DOs and DONTs from Emmy heavyweights. And, oh: potential spoiler alerts ahead. Money Lessons From Breaking Bad DO put your money in a place where it will grow. Beyond the obvious fact that cooking meth is illegal, Breaking Bads Walter White provides lots of fodder for what not to do lessons. Theres a lot of examples [in the show] in terms of how he mismanages his money,Women's UGG Kensington, said Cary Siegel,Ugg Boots Clearance?, author of Why Didnt They Teach Me This In School One of Walter Whites biggest financial offenses, Siegel said, is storing his massive fortune in barrels in the desert, rather than putting his money to work in the stock market or at least in a bank. Hell literally make hundreds of thousands of dollars and＃ none of it earns any interest. Theres nothing he puts his money in that earns him any more,www.bootsenglandoutlet.com, he said. Just think: that $ million, invested in the market and assuming a return of %, could have grown to $. million in just one year. Of course, if White had put his meth profits in a brokerage or bank account,www.buytopmonclerjackets.com, it might also have earned him the attention of the feds after the financial institution filed a currency transaction report or a suspicious activity report. DO protect your money. Its also worth noting that Whites barrels werent protected either the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation FDIC, as bank deposits are, or the Securities Investor Protection Corp. SIPC, as brokerage accounts are. This means that when Uncle Jack raided Whites $ million stockpile, not only could no one stop him, but White didnt even get the luxury of the $, FDIC insurance that all bank depositors are afforded or the $, SIPC protection for brokerage customers. Note that the SIPC doesnt protect you against losing money in the stock market, but does protect if a brokerdealer handling your money goes under and takes your money with it. DONT just buy your kids whatever they want. If anything good can be said of Walter White, its that everything he does,UGG Boots Outlet, he does or at least says he does for his family. Unfortunately, this has meant hes set a rather poor financial example for his son, Walt Jr. He goes off and buys his son a new car. Thats a bad lesson in how you teach your children to manage money. You just dont get them things, Siegel said, in a reference the sports car that White bought for Junior once he came into his fortune. And he didnt just buy Junior one car 每 later in the series, he purchased a second sports car for his son. Its worth noting that, in a literal example of burning through your money, White blew up the first sports car in order to make a point to wife Skyler. My kids are not going to get a nice car from me theyll all use a car together, Siegel said. When they can afford one, theyll realize the value of saving money. DO regularly. In season three of Modern Family, it is revealed that Luke, the youngest son in the Dunphy family, has been skimming money off his parents and slowly saving it over the years 〞 and has more money d than either of his older siblings. While Lukes methods might be questionable, saving at least % of every paycheck is the fastest way to financial security. DONT invest all your money in one company or industry〞diversify. Robert Crawley, Downton Abbeys Earl of Grantham, learned this lesson the hard way after investing the entirety of the family fortune in a Canadian railway that went bellyup in relatively short order. What he should have done instead: spread his money across a variety of industries and companies in order to protect his money from disappearing when one company went bankrupt. It was a dominant theme for a couple of episodes on one of the most popular dramas on TV. It was very rare that you saw that kind of a storyline carefully and extensively depicted, said Ric Edelman, chairman and CEO of Edelman Financial Services. It was a great example of diversification. However, Edelman noted that the show could have been a bit clearer with the lesson. Unfortunately, if you werent familiar with diversification, you wouldnt draw the lesson. Instead what the show said: these are the dangers of investing in stock, he said. [I]ts not that stock investing is bad, its that overconcentration is bad. DO coupon. Mel Brooks won an Emmy for his portrayal of Crazy Uncle Phil in Mad About You, and one of Uncle Phils shining moments was a hilarious encounter with coupons. He found a bunch 每 probably a few too many 每 and wanted to use them to money. While his intent was good, Joanie Demer, one of the founders of thekrazycouponlady, says that in practice, you dont have to coupon quite Uncle Phil.Move up i.forbesimg tMove downEmmy Winners : Complete ListDina GachmanContributorHow Cable's Emmy Wins Signal The Future Of Television ProgrammingMark HughesContributor Recent Artcleㄩ | ||

| Paul Rees in Melbourne The Guardian,Supra Skytop Shoes,Thursday 16 October 2003 02.04 BSTNew Zealand will keep the vice-captain Tana Umaga in their squad even though he may not be fit to play until the semi-finals next month. The All Blacks' most experienced back ruptured the posterior cruciate ligament in his left knee in last Saturday's victory over Italy. It was initially feared he would require surgery and be sidelined for six months,Birkenstock Shoes Women, prompting New Zealand to summon the second-row Norm Maxwell to Australia in case Umaga had to pull out. The New Zealand coachJohn Mitchell said: "Tana has been cycling and swimming, which is remarkable considering when he was injured. "It is an outstanding comeback. Injuries are part and parcel of a World Cup campaign and you need to give someone like Tana every chance to recover." Maxwell has been put on standby because of concerns over the fitness of the second- row Ali Williams. The inside centre Aaron Mauger is struggling with a knee injury and the wing Joe Rokocoko has a hamstring tear. The Scotland flanker Andrew Mower has had his World Cup ended by a seriousknee injury sustained in training in Caloundra yesterday. The Scotland manager Dougie Morgan said: "We're all saddened that Andrew's World Cup has ended this way." Mower's team-mate Gavin Kerr, meanwhile, says a full squad meeting has helped the Scots focus on their encounter with the United States on Monday after the 32-11 win over Japan. "The lads were disappointed with the way some of the things went but there were some good things that came out of the game,Ray Ban Clubmaster 4132," he said. "We had a chat about the things we had to work on,Supra Skytop III Shoes, but we don't want to get ourselvesdown. We got the win and it wasn't great but we've got to move on." The No8 Simon Taylor's back injury, which occurred during training on Monday, is still being assessed but he himself is understood to be confident it is not serious. The Scotland squad relocate to a city hotel tomorrow from their base in the resort town of Caloundra, an hour north of Brisbane, because a motorcycle club known as the Bandidos have booked the Queensland resort for their annual convention. Ronan O'Gara for David Humphreys is one of five changes to the Ireland side totake on Namibia on Sunday - with a sixth a possibility. The prop Reggie Corrigan injured his shoulder at training yesterday and may be left out of the side altogether after being initially switched from tight-head to loose-head when John Hayes was included in the starting side. "Reggie fell quite hard at training, which is why he sat out most of the session," said the Ireland coach Eddie O'Sullivan. "If he is ruled out,Fendi Sunglasses, Marcus Horan will come into loose-head, with Simon Best moving to the bench." O'Sullivan made four changes to the forwards and one to the backs from the sidethat overpowered Romania 45-17 in Gosford on Saturday. Hayes was promoted from the bench for Horan, and O'Sullivan named an entirely new back row with Eric Miller, Alan Quinlan and Simon Easterby taking over from Anthony Foley, Keith Gleeson and Victor Costello. Ireland are expected to rack up a big win over the Namibians,Ecco TravelSmith Womens, who went down 67-14 to Argentina on Tuesday, before their final pool games against the Pumas and Australia.

| Hugh O'Shaughnessy The Observer,Sunday 7 November 2010 Jump to comments (…)A soldier guards packages of marijuana that are being incinerated in Tijuana, Mexico,Birkenstock Shoes Women, last month. Photograph: Guillermo Arias/APEd Vulliamy's name has been well known to Observer readers for a very long time, notably for his enterprising and masterly dispatches from his former base in the US, a country for which he clearly has a great, though not unquestioning, affection. His words have over the years brought to life the politics and the social scene in that tortured and paradoxical country, and in other places too. Amexica: War Along the BorderlinebyEd VulliamyNever one to hide his own views, Vulliamy last year delivered a fierce attack on attitudes to the war in Bosnia aimed at Amnesty International (founded as the result of a long piece in this newspaper by Peter Benenson in 1961) and at Noam Chomsky. He took issue with Chomsky's "revisionism in the story of the concentration camps in north-west Bosnia, which it wasmyaccursed honour to discover". With a great sense of timing, Vulliamy now comes out with the most vivid book so far published in English on the bloody calamity that has been visited on Mexico's northern border lands ?C and on many on the US side of it ?C by the initiative of politicians in both countries to extend the "war on drugs" by fire and sword. Anyone who has a passing acquaintance with the debacle of America's post-first world war attempt to outlaw alcohol ?C still by far the world's most dangerous drug ?C could have foreseen that this project wouldfail.Far from controlling the trade in non-alcoholic narcotics, this "war" has put money into the pockets of the traffickers. Far from relieving the sufferings of the addicts, it has cut health standards wherever it has been practised. Far from bringing a flowering of civic virtue, it has spread corruption in all strata of US and Mexican society, from the humblest youth making a buck with a spliff or two on a street corner to the most senior officials and bankers concerned with the "war". Far from bringing peace to the streets, it has produced a cash bonanza for weapons manufacturers in the US and retailers in Mexico. And far from oiling the wheels of diplomacy between the two neighbours, it has tempted the richer ?C and more confused ?C one to interfere in the politics of the poorer.This was already apparent 25 years ago when Mexican men of violence,Nike Air Presto Women, known to and possibly trained by the CIA, tortured and killed Enrique Camarena, an agent of the US Drug Enforcement Administration operating illegally in Guadalajara. Camarena's killing, Vulliamy says, was the trigger for a series of manoeuvres that pitted drugs criminals against the government, an important first step towards the chaos that engulfs Mexicotoday.Since December 2006, when under George W Bush's instructions President Felipe Calder??n launched the Mexican military against the narcos, the author reports more than 24,000 people have been killed, many mutilated and exhibited to convey some message or threat.Much of this absorbing book consists of a journey along the frontier, hopping continually from one side to the other, from the Pacific Ocean and San Diego in the west across the Sierra Madre and down the Rio Grande to Matamoros on the Gulf of Mexico. Vulliamy takes us to some bizarre places ?C for instance, the US air force Barry Goldwater bombing range in Arizona, named after an unsuccessful US Republican politician. At the same time, he does not ignore the spectacular beauty of this land that has for decades thrilled this reviewer. He takes us to some terrifying places, too ?C Ciudad Ju??rez,Oakley Active Sunglasses, for instance,Nike Air Presto Shoes, one of the world's most violent cities,Oakley Sunglasses, with a murder rate of 191 citizens per 100,000 per annum, where scores of children, women and men are killed in the most revolting manner. In January last year 5,000 soldiers were deployed there. In March came 3,200 more, together with 700 federal police. By the end of 2009, despite wave after wave of military reinforcements, 2,657 had died in the city. Vulliamy comments: "The Mexican government's insistence that an increased military presence is the only way to confront the drug violence makes Ju??rez the litmus-test city of the policy. It is a test that spectacularlyfailed."The author has done a great deal of painstaking work in investigating and describing the blood-soaked frontier and the political cross-currents in both regions. Who will forget the words of one such as Mike Flores from Arizona who despises the US border guards: "They come from Texas, South Carolina, upstate New York, and they don't know jack shit about this land. They act the tough guy but if you put any of 'em out on the land without their toys they'd be dead in two days."Yet one puts down Amexica a little disappointed, and not just by the frequent mangling of the Spanish language. Vulliamy does not really analyse how such a strategy ?C concocted by President Richard Nixon ?C took hold of the US and those parts of the world where it remains influential,Ray Ban Jackie Ohh 4098, and how it still survives. It would have been fascinating to read his judgment, too, on the popularity or otherwise in Mexico of the war option. Yet as it stands this is a fascinating introduction to the bloody last act of the "war on drugs", which must surely soon pass unlamented into history.Hugh O'Shaughnessy is a prize-winning journalist who has written on Latin America for more than 40 years What did you think?Write your review of this or any other book, find out what other readers thought or add it to your listsRate this bookReview this bookAdd to your listsBuy this book Sign up for the Guardian TodayOur editors' picks for the day's top news and commentary delivered to your inbox each morning.Sign up for the daily emailGet the Guardian's daily US emailOur editors' picks for the day's top news and commentary delivered to your inbox each morning.
