About that volcano . . .
Images and video of Pu`u `? `? crater. The crater floor dropped 300+ feet over the weekend, prompting a fissure eruption. The paper has the story here, with more pictures.
Econ blogs you should examine
Time magazine has put out a list of them, grandly titled “The 25 Best Financial Blogs.” There’s at least one I’d have left off the list because its author frequently gets her basic arithmetic wrong when trying to support her arguments, leading me to believe she has the philosophy “Never let the facts get in …
