While there are things to celebrate for the senior professionals in these institutions, sadly I don’t think they do much celebrating,” Ralph Schlosstein, chief executive officer of New York-based boutique investment bank Evercore Partners Inc., said of the biggest financial firms. “The challenge they face is how to adjust to this new capital regime, and the new regulatory regime, and to earn an adequate return on equity. None of them have yet broken the code.”

When I added up the collective follower counts of the people in the room, my little dinner party was potentially viewed by more people than watch “The Late Show” on CBS: over three million. (Granted, the guests included social media heavyweights like Om Malik, founder of the popular tech blog GigaOM, and Veronica Belmont, an online video host with 1.6 million Twitter followers.)

I slipped a GPS tracking device into my wife’s car before she headed off to work. I put another tracker in my 2-year-old’s diaper bag and sent him off to the nanny for the day. I still had a few trackers left, and my parents were in town, so I also threw one into their vehicle while they took my son out to the park.Of course, I had never suspected any wrongdoing and, later on, when I reviewed the trails left by these GPS devices, they turned up nothing untoward.

my best pal lance got awesome quotes in the times! so proud of him. and to think some people would have thought we were wasting our time watching all those horror movies together when we were kids.
“A lot of kids are terrified of Santa Claus when they go to meet him,” said Mr. Vaughan, who watches “Silent Night, Deadly Night” every Christmas. “They’re told all year that there’s this guy judging them. He’s basically a home intruder, and you have no control over that. He comes in while you’re sleeping. Kids are warned about strangers, but then they’re taken to a department store and sit on the lap of someone they don’t know. That would give anyone pause.”

I can't really disapprove of this one though -- making sure your kids' grandparents are in their lives is a really good use of money.
Not having the means to actually live around the corner from my in-laws, we chose where to live partly based on ease of train access to them when we had the baby. Best decision we could have made.
