7 Cheap Stocks Experts Love The eclectic choices range from a food giant to a battered bond insurer. Editor's note: Since the original publication of this article, J. Crew, one of our seven experts' top picks, has entered into a buyout agreement with two private-equity firms, TPG Capital and Leonard Green & Partners, for $3 billion, or $43.50 a share -- about 28% above the closing price of $34 when we went to press. Over the past year, stocks rose, fell and spent a great deal of time going sideways. Feeding the World Wintergreen Fund's (symbol WGRNX) David Winters embraces global investing, so it's little surprise that his stock pick is Nestlé (NSRGY.PK), the quintessential multinational corporation. Indeed, Nestlé's revenues of $107 billion are nearly evenly split among the U.S., Europe and emerging markets. Advertisement Let's not forget pet foods, a $12-billion-a-year line of business. But what Winters particularly likes is the "number of ways to win with Nestlé." Delivering Content Benefiting from Weakness J. J.

Silent Era : The silent film website Lincoln and the Law – Law Library of Congress To view PDFs Back to Legal Topics Lincoln’s effort to restore the Union and his contributions to American political thought and its ideals of freedom often obscure the fact that he had been a successful attorney. Lincoln himself admitted his ambition lay in politics and not in the law, stating “my forte is as a Statesman, rather than a Prosecutor.” Even if the law was Lincoln’s “secondary” avocation, it was indelibly linked to him in life and death. First, Lincoln the Lawyer is comprised of works specifically on his work as a prominent Illinois lawyer. Second, Habeas Corpus and the War Powers of the President covers contemporary literature on Lincoln’s controversial balancing of civil liberties against the demands of war aims. Finally, The Assassination: Trials contains period transcripts and reports of the trial of the surviving conspirators in the murder of the President and attempted murder of other public officials.

Microsoft Adds OpenStreetMap Layer to Bing Maps You can now turn on a special layer in Bing Maps that displays maps from OpenStreetMap, Microsoft has announced. OpenStreetMap is an open source mapping project that keeps an editable map of the entire globe. Anyone can make edits to the map — it’s been nicknamed the “Wikipedia of maps.” The open source model has proven especially effective in regions of the developing world where very little solid map data exists, and in areas where highly detailed, editable maps are critical for natural-disaster response efforts, like the recent Haiti earthquake. Microsoft’s adoption of the open source mapping project follows a similar move by MapQuest, which began adding OSM layers last month. To run layers in Bing Maps, you’ll need the latest version of Microsoft Silverlight and a supported browser. To add OpenStreetMaps to your Bing, go to the App Gallery. You can switch back to any of the other standard views in Bing Maps by clicking on the layer control at the bottom of the map window. See Also:

The Mike Wallace Interview The Mike Wallace Interview "Whether you agree or disagree with what you will hear, we feel that none will deny the right of these views to be broadcast." Mike Wallace rose to prominence in 1956 with the New York City television interview program, Night-Beat, which soon developed into the nationally televised prime-time program, The Mike Wallace Interview. The Mike Wallace Interview ran from 1957 to 1960, but the Ransom Center collection includes interviews from only 1957 and 1958. Copyright of all of the interviews is held by Mike Wallace, who generously agreed to allow the Ransom Center to present them here in their entirety. There are 65 interviews in the Ransom Center's collection. This project would not have been possible without the cooperation and assistance of many people, including Mike Wallace, Jay-Me Brown, Rachael Kun, Red Steiger, Bill Zizza, Andrew Kasny, Steve Kroeter, The Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, Thomas F.

Statistical Analysis and Visualization of the Drug War in Mexico | Diego Valle's Blog On December 11, 2006 Felipe Calderon, as the first significant act of his presidency, sent the army to his home state of Michoacan. He claimed that it was to regain control of territories lost to the drug cartels, and indeed, a new cartel had started operating in Michocan. But the fact that he won the election by the slim margin of 0.6% and his main rival declared himself the legitimate president of Mexico surely influenced him. In the beginning, the war proved a success by all objective measures: in 2007 the homicide rate decreased to its lowest level in recorded history and murders in Michoacan went down by more than 40%. And then 2008 rolled around and the Sinaloa Cartel decided to take advantage of the weakening of the other cartels and the corruption that is endemic in Mexico to gain control of the drug trade... In Mexico about 85% percent of crimes go unreported, so it's difficult to obtain exact estimates other than general trends. Police records. Would you trust a Mexican cop?
