Excesses Of The Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau Feb 2010

Excesses Of The Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau

On Sport and Society

From its modest beginnings in 1966 at the AFL-NFL Championship Game in Los Angeles down to Super Bowl XLIV, it has become increasingly apparent that Super Sunday has grown exponentially and in the process has become a bloated monster. Over the past quarter century or more Super Sunday has illustrated the ability of a sporting event to offer a distorted and exaggerated version of social reality and social values in America and the Super Bowl has done this on a grand, glorious, and obscene scale.

Bringing To Heel The Elephants In The Economy: The Case For Ending “Too Big To Fail”, Ann Graham Feb 2010

Bringing To Heel The Elephants In The Economy: The Case For Ending “Too Big To Fail”, Ann Graham

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “Financial institutions labeled “Too Big To Fail” (TBTF) are those whose insolvency could shake the foundations of the U.S. financial system and our economy. The term “too big to fail” became part of our popular vocabulary in the wake of federal bank regulatory intervention to prevent the failure of Continental Illinois National Bank in 1984. After the banking and savings-and-loan crisis of the 1980s, the pros and cons of the TBTF policy were extensively debated. Despite Congressional efforts to limit application of TBTF, the doctrine has returned with renewed vigor during the current crisis. Responding on an ad hoc …


Controlling Patent Prosecution History, Thomas G. Field Jr. Feb 2010

Controlling Patent Prosecution History, Thomas G. Field Jr.

The University of New Hampshire Law Review

[Excerpt] “One of the most salient effects of patent prosecution history arises in the context of the doctrine of equivalents. Under that doctrine, although patent claims may be found to be broader than their literal scope, territory surrendered during prosecution cannot be encompassed as equivalent. Nor can territory forfeited by initial failure to claim be captured under the doctrine of equivalents. Most attorneys who prosecute applications are apt to be aware of such problems and to take measures to avoid them.”


With The Financial Crisis Over, Banks Are Hiring Again – But With A Different Job Description, Knowledge@Smu Feb 2010

With The Financial Crisis Over, Banks Are Hiring Again – But With A Different Job Description, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

The massive blood-letting that was supposed to happen with the recent financial crisis went by, without much of hoopla – at least in this part of the world – and many financial institutions are hiring again. However, with new market reforms, human resource managers are mulling over job descriptions. The mindset to maximise profits may be important, but according to the experts, professionals in the industry will be expected to bring more onto the table – to be accountable to a wider circle of stakeholders and to demonstrate a different set of values.


The Idea Of Creativity, The Creativity Behind An Idea, Knowledge@Smu Feb 2010

The Idea Of Creativity, The Creativity Behind An Idea, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Many people believe that creativity is important to their line of work – from salespeople to accountants, lawyers to administrators – but few people seem to believe that they have what it takes to be creative. Even fewer people think that their employers are helping them to be creative. What lies behind the mystical creativity holy grail that makes it so elusive yet incredibly seductive? Creativity expert Fredrik Härén provides some insights into how we think about creativity and what makes companies like Google, Apple and Pixar tick.


Warding Off Longevity Risks: Ensuring Sustainable Income For Retirement, Knowledge@Smu Feb 2010

Warding Off Longevity Risks: Ensuring Sustainable Income For Retirement, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Greying populations are no longer a challenge reserved just for developed economies. The “silver tsunami” is starting to make its way towards developing nations too. But are governments, insurance companies, banks and individuals preparing themselves sufficiently? Buying annuities is one means to which people can plan for their retirement needs. Yet, take-up rates remain low. As the "tsunami" approaches, should regulators take forceful action to kick start the take-up of such instruments to prepare their economies for the impending economic mayhem?

Knowledge@SMU

No longer the traditional company that commands mental images of the sweaty postman, his motorbike or sacks of undelivered mail – this is the goal set out by SingPost's Group CEO, whose vision of a corporate reinvention evokes metaphors of classical orchestra and medical surgery. And reinvented he has – with a slew of new service offerings. Through diversification, the nation's most established postal service provider is bracing itself for the day when snail mail becomes a thing of the past.

Doing More With Mobile Networks: More Users, More Uses?, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

With so many mobile devices entering the market, from hand phones to laptops and now, iPads and Kindles, it is no wonder that more and more people are jumping on board the mobile bandwagon. However, are today's mobile networks designed to serve and connect a fast expanding number of users? It makes sense that when too many users enter a network, that network will become congested and connectivity will be compromised – or will it? According to SMU information systems assistant professor Kyriakos Mouratidis, "spatial optimisation" of existing connection points within a network may break new grounds in enhancing the …

An Economist's Take On The Opportunities And Threats That Lie Ahead For Asia, Knowledge@Smu

Knowledge@SMU

Say you have the ability to foresee the ups and downs of the economy; what would you do with that power? Stephen Roach's answer: Become a celebrated economist, columnist and author! His latest book, The Next Asia, is a 2006 to 2009 greatest hits collection of essays on what, he believes, are the region's shortfalls and opportunities. There is plenty to chew upon – from what Roach believes are the factors that led to the recent financial crisis to the various issues that will plague the continent's rapidly developing economies.
