Ad Nauseam: What "Cash for Clunkers" Hath Wrought
By Ben Fried
The government's Cash for Clunkers program officially begins today,
but car dealers have been running ads like this one for a while
already. They have to keep the public informed: Now you can trade in
your old car and buy a brand-new SUV or pick-up truck with a hefty
assist from Uncle Sam.
Here we have the government spending
a billion dollars on about 250,000 vouchers for individual car buyers.
Ostensibly, the purpose is to save some jobs and cut some emissions.
Meanwhile, we're in the middle of a budget crisis affecting transit agencies serving 22 million Americans. Green jobs
and emissions-reducing transportation are on the line. When DOT
Secretary LaHood holds his press event on Monday touting the roll-out
of Cash for Clunkers, someone should ask him how the Obama
administration can justify this dubious car industry subsidy while
hanging transit riders out to dry.

From the Dept. of Mixed Messages: LaHood Touts 'Cash for Clunkers'
By Elana Schor	| Jul 27, 2009
Two weeks ago, Ray LaHood candidly addressed the need to reduce the nation's vehicle miles traveled in order to halt the devastating effects of climate change. But the Transportation Secretary had a decidedly different message today. (Photo: NYT) "Go out and buy a car, Americans!" LaHood decreed this morning as he and lawmakers from auto-producing […]
Brookings: "Cash for Clunkers" Wasn't Worth It
By Angie Schmitt	| Nov 1, 2013
Turns out paying people to buy cars isn't a great policy for the economy or the environment. That's the determination of a pair of Brookings Institution researchers who evaluated the effectiveness of the 2009 Cash for Clunkers program. The $2.85 billion program, part of President Obama's economic stimulus package, produced only 2,050 "job-years," according to researchers […]
A Last Word on Cash for Clunkers…We Promise
By Ryan Avent	| Sep 2, 2009
One thing the government's CARS program — a.k.a. "cash for clunkers" — has clearly stimulated is commentary. For a policy involving a shade under $3 billion in federal spending, it has enjoyed no shortage of media coverage. (Photo: Newsday) In part this is because the program looks like a big success, and certainly congressional leaders […]
GAO: Economic Recovery Benefits of 'Cash for Clunkers' Are 'Uncertain'
By Elana Schor	| Apr 30, 2010
"Cash for clunkers," the White House's much-touted program encouraging trade-ins for more fuel-efficient autos, had an "uncertain" impact on economic recovery, according to a new audit from the independent Government Accountability Office (GAO) — largely because it remains unclear how many of the car sales it spurred would have occurred without taxpayer subsidies. Were "clunker" […]

Separating Myth from Fact on "Cash for Clunkers"
By Elana Schor	| Aug 4, 2009
As debate rages on in the capital over whether to keep assisting the auto industry by giving out more "cash for clunkers" rebates, two assertions are becoming commonplace: the program is helping diminish U.S. oil consumption, and the program is not paid for with new money. (Photo: AP) The first argument was reiterated on Friday […]

PUBLIC ART IN THE TIME OF COVID-19 by Tarah Hodgkinson
Vancouver's public art during COVID-19 - photo by Ramachandran Kumaraswamy
by Tarah Hodgkinson
It has been over a month since the world went into lockdown and we were all told to #stayhome. Much has changed since then. As we have noted in previous blogs, the world has pulled together to stop the spread of the virus and protect our most vulnerable. We are also witnessing irresponsible leadership and divisive politics. It has been a trying time and while many of us are beginning to adapt to this new normal, there are still many who are out on the frontlines of the pandemic risking their lives.

Much has changed in our communities as well. In conversations with other criminologists over the last few weeks, I have heard how crime trends are changing around the world. As people move inside and away from the public realm, the nature of crime opportunities is also changing. While these data are still preliminary, some researchers are finding early declines in burglary and theft, while others are warning of dramatic increases in domestic violence.
Indeed, the city of Vancouver has not been immune to these shifts. Commercial burglary has increased dramatically compared to previous years. This is unsurprising to many readers as there is no longer the watchful eyes of owners and employees, and natural surveillance is obsolete.
Many business owners in Vancouver's Gastown neighbourhood have taken to boarding up their windows as an interim target-hardening measure. However, for those who have spent any time in communities where the downtown is failing and businesses are boarded up, you know this can be a very depressing sight.
One of these Vancouver businesses was less than satisfied with the dreary look of the boards. Local business, Kimsprints, reached out for local artists to paint a mural on the boarded-up shop. The artwork couldn't be about just anything. It had to celebrate the frontline workers and their incredible efforts to respond to the COVID-19 crisis. Soon after, murals of Dr. Theresa Tam, Canada's public health officer, and Dr. Bonnie Henry, British Columbia's health officer were painted over the boards.
The trend continues with several more painted boards, paying tribute to those assisting during the crisis and brightening the appearance of a community in lockdown. While the crisis continues, these beautiful pieces of community art remind us that not only do we need to support our frontline workers – including demanding worker protections and appropriate pay – but we also should remain resilient and connected rather than divided.

WILLISTON, N.D. - UPDATE(3:26 p.m.): An explosion in a rural area of Williston has caused injuries.
there was an explosion at about 11:30 a.m. Wednesday morning at a shop on 151st Ave NW. Two workers were injured and have been taken to CHI St. Alexius in Williston. The sheriff's office says they may be flown out to a different facility. The extent of their injuries is unknown at this time.
The sheriff's office says OSHA has been notified.
Your News Leader has a reporter in route to the scene and we will provide more details as they become available.
ORIGINAL STORY: An explosion has caused injuries south of Grenora, N.D.
The Williams County Sheriff's office confirms an explosion took place at 11:30 a.m. near Highway 5 and people were injured.


As the experts from France and Austria in 1928 found, the Serbian king Aleksandar Karadjordjevic decided to build a winery and vine plantations with grapevines in Demir Kapija. He entrusted the project for this property to the royal architect Aleksandar Deroko. Originally a family villa was not designated on this property, but at the request of Queen Mary the construction of the villa was initiated. The construction started in 1931 and, the workshop for ceramic products from Vrsac, Republic of Serbia, gives two cariatide – (pillar in the form of a female figure), - with height of 2.80 m as a gift for the villa. In 1941, the the cariatides – (pillar in the form of a female figure) - are buried for protection of devastate or robbery on the insistence of the manager. In the 60s with a deep plowing they are found and placed in front of the villa. The royal properties are in utilization from 1931 when the foundations of the church of St. Virgin Mary are laid down. The property encompassed the winery with accompanying facilities, and at a distance of 2 km stable for horses "lipecaneri" (world famous race Slavonic horses, brought up in Lipica, Slovenia)- was built. In 2001, on a the proposal of Mr. Zvonimir Budimirovich, adviser to the Mayor for Culture and Cultural Heritage, the municipal council takes a decision to put the property under the protection of the Republic of Macedonia. The building has its owners, the company Elenovi. Based on the project of the Institute for Protection of Monuments of Culture of Republic of Macedonia, it is restored and allowed for utilization. Today, it is one of the most attractive offers for wine tourism in the municipality of Demir Kapij and the Republic of Macedonia.

24 USA Cities Most Likely To Be Hit By A Tornado (2023)
24 Kansas City, Missouri 23 Omaha, Nebraska 22 Wichita, Kansas 21 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma 20 Des Moines, Iowa 19 Dallas, Texas 18 Topeka, Kansas 17 Sioux Falls, South Dakota 16 Tulsa, Oklahoma 15 Lincoln, Nebraska 14 Springfield, Illinois 13 Rochester, Minnesota 12 Fayetteville, Arkansas 11 Orlando, Florida 10 Indianapolis, Indiana 9 Springfield, Missouri 8 Cedar Rapids, Iowa 7 Austin, Texas 6 St. Louis, Missouri 5 Fargo, North Dakota FAQs Videos
You can probably guess that most of the United States' tornado activity occurs in the aptly named, "Tornado Alley." The majority of the land in the American Midwest is prone to tornadoes, especially in the flat land of the Great Plains. Though there is no definitive border to Tornado Alley, its core dominates the states of Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and part of northern Texas, but high numbers of tornadoes can occur even in areas like Colorado, the Dakotas, and Florida.
According to U.S. Tornadoes, Tennessee is the state hardest hit by tornadoes, and can experience up to 72 in one day during peak season even though most of the state is not in the centre of Tornado Alley. Oklahoma is in a close second, with 70 tornadoes touching down in one day. To be defined as a tornado, it must touch the ground and be a convective cloud at the same time, and the U.S. Tornadoes list doesn't account for tornado-like weather and strong winds in the states.
The Midwest and Plains regions have the highest concentration of tornadoes on earth, and despite tornadoes occurring on other continents, amateur storm chasers should check out these locations to find their next tornado (though you should probably leave that to the pros).
24 Kansas City, Missouri
Although it shares a name with the state, Kansas City is actually a major city in western Missouri. With a population of over two million, the city's infrastructure would be devastated in the event of a severe tornado.
Nevertheless, the city and the surrounding area see hundreds of less apocalyptic tornadoes a year. Straddling the border between Kansas and Missouri, it's near the epicentre of Tornado Alley and has a high chance of experiencing hit with storms. But the Missourians seem to be proud of it—they've named their professional basketball team the Kansas City Tornadoes.
23 Omaha, Nebraska
When you think of Nebraska, you probably picture cornfields, cows, tractors, and tornadoes. Despite Omaha being a bustling city with a strong cultural background, most tend to think Nebraska is one huge field with only dirt roads crossing it.
As the northern part of the centre of Tornado Alley, Nebraska is frequently hit with tornadoes, and they plow through everything in their paths, including cities. In 1975, a violent storm hit the Omaha area,costing three people their lives and injuring over one hundred over a two-day period. If a storm this bad hit the area once, it wouldn't be a surprise to see it happen again.
22 Wichita, Kansas
Kansas is so famous for its tornadoes, the early film industry even simulated one in the classic movie, The Wizard of Oz. Though Wichita is no longer cattle-grazing farmland, it still sees tornadoes like the one that whisked Dorothy away to Oz (okay, maybe they don't carry houses off to other dimensions).
A former pioneering town during America's expansion west, Wichita became a major checkpoint for those traveling to Colorado in the 1800s. It has since transformed from village of farms to a bustling, industrial centre, but that doesn't mean tornadoes are careful to avoid it.
21 Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Oklahoma is generally known as the heart of Tornado Alley, as it lays at the centre of storm activity in the Great Plains. Oklahoma City, the state's largest metropolitan area, is familiar with violent storms that usually begin in the countryside and travel close to developed land.
The National Weather Service published a paper detailing the tornadoes that have struck the city in recent years, and concluded that thirteen tornadoes have touched down there, the most recent only in May 2013. Twice, in 2013 and 1978, the city saw five tornadoes in just one day.

20 Des Moines, Iowa
The capital of Iowa, Des Moines, isn't a large city by any means, nor is it noted as a particularly attractive holiday destination for most, but it deserves credit for enduring severe Midwestern weather.
In 2018, Des Moines and surrounding Polk County suffered a rough tornado season, battered by storms. A tornado warning was last issued in the city in October, even though tornado season is usually at its worst in late spring. Des Moines sits at the centre of Iowa, and sees more tornadoes than other parts of the state. Two of the most powerful storms in years hit in 2018, at Pella and Marshalltown, towns not far outside Des Moines.

19 Dallas, Texas
Kansas City isn't the only city to name a sports team after the local weather—the Dallas Tornado was a soccer team that played in the Texas city from the 1960s to 1980s. A huge city, Dallas is well equipped to face harsh weather. Texans are blessed with sunny, hot weather in the summer, but are forced to compensate in the spring during tornado season.
However, tornadoes here might not be so severe. Dallas News reported in June that North Texas had only seen five tornadoes in 2018, a surprisingly low number compared to other years.
18 Topeka, Kansas
The second major city in Kansas on this list, and the state's capital, Topeka isn't any less susceptible to tornadoes than Wichita, or the smaller farm towns in the state. The city is home to neoclassical architecture and some of Kansas's most unique historical attractions narrating the state's past during the Old West.
A series of tornadoes in 1966 was a huge event, shaping the local history. The F5-rated tornado sequence that struck Topeka between June 2 and 12 devastated the city, when 57 tornadoes caused 18 casualties and over 500 injuries.
17 Sioux Falls, South Dakota
Tornado activity begins to calm down a bit traveling north into South Dakota, but it's still hit hard with harsh weather. Sioux Falls is a quiet, charming city on the eastern side of South Dakota, sitting on the banks of the Big Sioux River. You can see the low waterfalls that give the city its name at Falls Park, a calm reserve during summer in the city.
Sioux Falls isn't always so calm, though. There have been 41 reported tornadoes touching down in the county since 1956, the largest being an F4 in 1993 that struck north of Sioux Falls.

16 Tulsa, Oklahoma
A former oil town, Tulsa, Oklahoma is now known for its art deco architecture and seat in the Green Country near the Ozark Mountains and the Osage Hills. The second largest city in the state, Tulsa was founded in the early part of the 19th century, but despite its oil business dwindling, the city is expected to grow and expand in the near future.
That is, assuming a massive tornado doesn't wipe it out first. Its location in a hilly area helps to discourage extreme storms, but in August 2017, an EF5 tornado still managed to cause lasting damage to the community.
15 Lincoln, Nebraska
Lincoln, otherwise known as Star City, is the state capital of Nebraska and a sprawling metropolitan area built on salt marshes. The city is a major economic and cultural centre for the state, not only because it's the capital but because it's part of the Silicon Prairie—the Midwest's Silicon Valley.
Tornado activity in the area doesn't seem to affect the industry too adversely. There have been numerous tornadoes in Lancaster County, and most of the deadliest have been within 10 miles of downtown Lincoln. Only four tornadoes since 1950 have caused casualties in the city.

14 Springfield, Illinois
Tornadoes seem to like capital cities, because Illinois' capital, Springfield, is another that's plagued by them. Located in the central part of the state, Springfield is a quaint city, almost like a time capsule. You'll easily come across museums and historical sites connected to Abraham Lincoln, who lived in the city.
One of the city's most famous storms, however, struck the area in 2006 and raged for four days, causing over $1 billion in damage across a number of states. Springfield itself saw two tornadoes touch down during the period, though they were weak at a rating of F2.
13 Rochester, Minnesota
Minnesota isn't an obvious state for tornado activity, but it still lies within the northern bounds of Tornado Alley. Tornadoes are more common in the southern half of the state, where the land is flatter and home to more farms than in the forested north.
Rochester is a city in southern Minnesota, and is the biggest in the state that would likely be struck by tornadoes. Rochester is home to the famous health organisation, the Mayo Clinic, and without a tornado, the clinic would not exist. After a bad bout of weather in 1883, the Mayo family established a hospital to treat the injured, which has since grown to become world-renowned.

12 Fayetteville, Arkansas
While Fayetteville, Arkansas is by no means a large city, it's more prone to tornadoes than other parts of the state. Due to its close proximity with Oklahoma (and therefore, the heart of Tornado Alley) in the northwest corner of Arkansas, Fayetteville hasn't got strong defenses against storms.
Western Arkansas gets a lot more storms than the eastern part of the state, but they're still usually not as strong as those in nearby Oklahoma or Kansas. Unlike the daytime tornadoes in Oklahoma, Arkansas storms usually occur in late afternoon and into the night.
11 Orlando, Florida
Florida is no doubt more famous for the massive tropical hurricanes that berate the state during summer and autumn, but the tornado activity in America's panhandle shouldn't be overlooked, either.
The most common area in Florida to produce tornadoes is in the inland part of the panhandle, roughly around the city of Orlando. Known as the capital of theme parks, Orlando is home to the world-famous Walt Disney World, but don't worry, Cinderella's Castle probably isn't going to blow away any time soon. Florida storms tend to be quite tame, but could still produce a waterspout if close enough to the ocean.
10 Indianapolis, Indiana
Indianapolis, affectionately known as Indy by locals, is the capital and largest city in Indiana. It's one of the major cities farthest east for extreme tornado activity. Though Indiana's tornadoes aren't as frequent as other states', it does have the ideal climate and landscape for brewing storms.
The National Weather Service has recorded 45 tornadoes in Marion County between 1952 and 2017. The last tornado to touch down in the Indianapolis metro area was in 2012, though it was a weak tornado that probably resembled more of a strong thunderstorm.

9 Springfield, Missouri
The second city on this list called Springfield, and the second Springfield where tornadoes are common, this city in Missouri isn't far from its namesake in Illinois. Located in the heart of the Ozark Mountains, Springfield is surrounded by natural wonders, both above and below ground. It's also got some pretty amazing meteorological features, too.
Just in early December 2018, six tornadoes were confirmed by the National Weather Service to have touched down in the Ozarks, long away from the usual tornado season. It proves that no matter what time of year or where you are, a tornado may just appear.

8 Cedar Rapids, Iowa
Traveling back to Iowa, Cedar Rapids is smaller than Des Moines, though no less modern. Split by the Cedar River, severe storms could easily flood the city, which has happened in the past. Remnants of Hurricane Paine flooded the city for a week in 2016.
Cedar Rapids still gets regular tornadoes, but the worst was back in April 1954, when an F4 category storm tore through Linn County, picking up farmhouses and barns and carrying them off. Other houses were damaged by lightning and rain, causing power outages and flooding.
7 Austin, Texas
Austin is located just south of the hardest hit tornado area in Texas, but that doesn't mean it's immune to storms. Austin is the fourth-largest city in Texas, and its capital, as well as being regarded as Texas' capital of culture as well. It's the fastest growing city in the U.S., with people flocking to work at its Fortune 500 companies and enjoy its quality of life.
The city is just outside Tornado Alley, meaning the area sees the odd twister here and there, but they're usually low-rated storms. However, in 1922, Austin experienced twin tornadoes, an F2 and F4, causing $400,000 in damage.
6 St. Louis, Missouri
With its iconic Gateway Arch, the massive landmark that honours explorers Lewis and Clark, St. Louis is a darling of the South. Seeped in southern hospitality and made contemporary with industry and its huge university, St. Louis University, the city embodies the American spirit.
But just like any other city, it has its drawbacks, and unless you're a storm chaser, you'll have to sit quietly through a few twisters. The third deadliest in U.S. tornado history occurred in the St. Louis area in 1896, and more recently, a 2011 storm caused $30 million in damage to the city.
5 Fargo, North Dakota
Fargo is often called The Gateway to the West, and once settlers crossed into North Dakota from the east, the land rapidly changed from forests to plateaus. It's a charismatic city in the northern U.S., but is often overlooked and is sometimes known only for the movie and television series of the same name.
Despite a bad tornado outbreak in 1957 that destroyed the northern part of the city, Fargo grew quickly and redeveloped the ruined neighbourhoods, expanding farther and faster than before. Ted Fujita, who developed the modern Fujita scale of rating tornadoes, studied the Fargo tornado to help develop storm categories.

SALEM, N.H. —
A Salem doctor told police he had four vodka drinks before allegedly causing a crash that nearly killed a five-year-old girl inside her home 10 days ago, according to court documents.
The crash was so violent that the home on Silver Brook Road was declared structurally unsound, displacing the Tutrone family and their four children. They have been living in a hotel until they will be able to move back on Monday.
"We are feeling like things are getting back to normal to be back in the house, so there is still a lot of work to do, but I don't even want to be in those rooms anyway at this point," homeowner Joe Tutrone said.
The rooms damaged in the crash are taped off with plastic and empty of all furniture. Tutrone said his daughter, Giuliana, was nearly killed by a flying granite post that broke her jaw and severed a vein in her neck, but he said she's resilient.
"She's home. She's doing great," he said. "She's upset because she can't go swimming in the pool. She had a little bit of a fit because her siblings are going in the pool."
Instead, Giuliana was able to help her dad cut the grass.
Scott Dowd is facing five felony charges in connection with the crash. He lives less than a mile away from the Tutrones, and according to court documents, he said he has no recollection of the crash.
Investigators said in an affidavit that Dowd was driving faster than 75 mph and nearly struck a mother walking with her two children before crashing.

"She Just Rubbed Me the Wrong Way"
From the perspective of making a hiring decision, what exactly does that mean?
Well, if I feel someone rubs me the wrong way, I feel there is something about them—maybe something that I can't specifically identify—that causes me to think less of them.
• I went over the importance of certain company policies and asked the person what he thought about this. His response gave me the idea that these policies weren't very important to him.
• When I told the prospect about the company's goals, her response seemed a bit condescending.
• The person was dressed way too casually.
• The person didn't seem genuinely interested in getting the job.
• The person looked at his watch several times during the interview.
I imagine there are other things you may have observed along these lines.
And then there's that vague feeling you might get about someone. You can't really put your finger on anything the person said or did, but you just feel…well…that the person rubbed you the wrong way.
So what we do about these perceptions and feelings we have about this candidate?
You can disregard your "feelings" about the prospect and go ahead and hire them solely on the merits of their skills and experience. They may turn out to be a great fit and you're able to put this interview well behind you.
You can decide that you don't want someone working for you who is going to make that kind of a bad, first impression.
If the person is well qualified in other ways, you can have one of your staff do a fresh interview and then compare notes.
Yes, this tip is a very subjective one.
Maybe you had a very bad experience with someone similar to this person and that earlier experience is affecting your judgement now.
Whatever the case may be, if your prospect has good qualifications for the position, I'd recommend persisting some to see if you really do have the right candidate.
And of course, when you are dealing with a subjective situation like this, using our testing service can make all the difference in the world.


With The Walking Dead Season 6 finale ending on a cliff-hanger, there is a good chance that fans of the show will tune in to season 7, if only to see who Negan ended up killing. However, Norman Reedus, who plays Daryl, says there will many other highlights in a season that "the planet is going to explode" over.
It will be a long before Daryl and the rest of The Walking Dead gang return to TV screens, so feel free to speculate away. What are you hopping to see?


The AT-UHD-CLSO-612ED's default settings allow for the unit to automatically receive an IP address using DHCP.
With a display connected, press the MENU button on the CLSO-612ED which will pull up its on-screen display.
Alternatively, you can also perform a network scan on your network/access the routers web-GUI and see what devices are attached to it. Some routers also have their own web interfaces that show the IP info of devices that are connected to it.
To send a command to the 612ED via RS232, connect to the unit using a captive screw to DB9 cable coupled with a USB to DB9 cable. For an article on how to create such a cable, see here.
After sending the IPCFG command, you will then see the units IP configuration and current IP address. If you don't see any IP address or see all 0's, this means your network was unable to issue the Atlona unit a DHCP address. This might be because the network is configured to work with static IP address' or that there is an issue with said network. To test your network, connect another DHCP enabled device and see if that it issues an address. If it is, please try factory resetting the Atlona unit by sending it the following command via Hterm: "Mreset + <carriage return>". After that, try step 3 again.
After sending the "IPCFG + <carriage return>" command, if you see an IP address get reported from the switch such as shown above, you can type this address into any PC that is on the same network as the UHD-SW and access its web interface.

1. Colleagues: Feds hire macroeconomists and friends. On the one hand, this is broader than some people expect: it's not just business cycles and money. On the other hand, most people do research with aggregate or at least regional implications. These are your colleagues, and also the talks you are exposed to.
2. Side job: policy vs. teaching. At universities you teach to pay the bills. At Feds you do policy work. The quantity and also the quality of policy work varies, just like for teaching. At bad Feds you do frequent, unpredictable, annoying policy work; at good Feds you do infrequent, predictable policy work related to your research.
3. Flexibility. Feds are less flexible. They are structured as 9-5, Monday-Friday jobs. It's not as bad as that; the vacation allowance is good, there are bank holidays, and generally nobody really tracks if you show up day to day or when you show up. But disappearing for a week or, God forbid, the summer, or only showing up for "teaching days", is much harder to impossible.
4. Pay. Feds pay better. Conditional on "rank", about 20% better. This is in part compensation for having to work summers.
5. Shocks. Shocks at universities are frequent but generally short-lived. The department's quality mean reverts quickly, and even if your Dean stinks they disappear quickly. Shocks at Feds are infrequent but nearly permanent. A new President or Research Director can make the place much better or worse for a decade.
6. Terminal condition. Most people understand that research universities lead to tenure. You may or may not understand that this eventually leads to a change in job: advising, editing, tenure letters, more committee work, etc. Feds also have a similar transition, which is the pull to administrative and policy work, especially high-level FOMC involvement.
7. Visitors, talks, and exposure. Feds have more frequent talks in macro areas. They also have more visitors, because they have good ties to universities and pay visitors well.
Most other aspects I can think of seem pretty similar. So those are the tradeoffs.
Finally, there is a strong ranking among the Feds. I don't want to get into which is best, there are plenty elsewhere, but it's not useful to ask whether "Feds" are above rank X. However, one thing worth noting is that the ranking of NY and BOG vary widely. This is fair because these Feds (unlike the others) have large within-institution variance in quality, mostly in terms of colleagues and quantity/quality of policy work.
1 year ago # QUOTE 34 Good 0 No Good !
I had a flyout at the Fed Board this year and this is spot on. 10/10. Also Fed Board at least offers sabbaticals where you can spend some time at other institutions or at another group (6 months) if you want to try something new.
3. and generally nobody really tracks if you show up day to day or when you show up.
That hasn't been my experience at all and I'm familiar with several Feds. For all I know, you have to show up to work.
I was told that you could come in at 10 and stay till 6 if you wanted. the younger people tend to come in later and stay later.
Sorry, to clarify: you can take a day off or work from home now and then (telecommute day, etc.); and you have some flexibility in when you show up; but yes, you should plan to be there most of most of the days.
Forgot an obvious one, sorry. Yes, you can. Feds are very reluctant to do it because they understand that pushing that button has important long-term consequences. But still it has happened, and it's more likely to be fired as a senior economist at a Fed than as tenured faculty at university. These are both small sample events, so I'm reluctant to make up a relative figure. Truthfully, in both cases the bigger concern is on-the-job-death. You probably know the drill at universities: more classes, 8am classes, lots of committees. At Feds, it means lots of meetings about administrative stuff like password compliance (don't get me started) and then policy work.
1. As a macroeconomist, being at the fed is much better. Instead of ~9 macro faculty at my former dept, I now have a full department of macroeconomist colleagues. All seminars are macro, hence interesting. Job market season is much more bearable as I don't have to sit through theory or regmonkey talks.
2. Agreed - at my bank policy work is done on a very predictable schedule so you can budget your time exactly as you would for teaching. There are tons of complementarities between my research and policy work so the effective time for research ends up being larger than at most academic positions. The only thing I miss is interacting with PhD students but this is less of an issue at banks that are integrated with universities (think Minneapolis or St Louis). Also, policy load and predictability is one of the main sources of heterogeneity and therefore research quality across feds.
3. I understand this can be a binding constraint for some people, but I truly don't mind the schedule. In practice I end up spending less time at the bank than I used to at my former dept as people don't really come on weekends.
4. I don't think the pay difference is that big of a deal, but Let me add that the Fed has many benefits in kind, namely generous research budgets, accessibility to data and RAs, privileged relationship with government agencies to get data, etc.
5. Agreed, political risk shocks are less frequent but larger in magnitude at feds.
6. Mostly true at the Board and maybe New York, not so much at any regional banks where research-active seniors can keep doing their own research mostly.
7. Related to (1), tons of visitors and macro seminars, generous budgets for these things. Much better than most econ depts.
Thanks for your information, very useful. Any insights for finance (not macro) researchers?
Only NY and BoG really have very active finance research groups and make offers that are competitive with finance salaries.
Someone told me there is a "midterm review" after 3 years. Is that true or is this BS? Is there starting to be a tenure clock in the Fed system?
In some of the Feds (and the BoG) people don't really get fired: those who don't do research become regional/policy economists with more policy and less research time while those who are active keep their research time. In other Feds you get evaluated every year and people do get fired for not publishing. A notable example is St Louis and from what I've heard Dallas is heading in the same direction with all the recent changes.
Listen to 1703, s.he knows what s.hes talking about. Not being ironic.
The main difference is that the Fed isn't an academic position. While you may do research at a fed or at a NGO, these aren't substitutes for being in an environment when you are responsible for both create and disseminate knowledge. Being in academic environment is more than having economists in your field, is having a relatively large set of people who are experts in their areas, fields or disciplines. The Fed, when all is said and done, is a a quasi private sector job in which a change in a boss can definitely change the way you do your work and affect your ability to do research.
Great thread. I had a flyout at the Board and have since worked with several folks at the Board and regional banks. This is spot on.
Great thread. Is there any advantage of havimg the u.s. nationality? My wife is american and I am wondering if professio ally it is worthy to apply for resident (of course there are orher aspects that are relevant for the decision, but I wonder about the professional side).
Only if you become sufficiently senior and need above FOMC Class 3, I think you might need US citizenship to get this. To be fair, only very senior people get even FOMC Class 2 (think Vice presidents) so you will probably already be a citizen anyway by the time you get there.

The UK's economy having experienced a double-dip recession plunged many a business into an unhealthy state, so this news from the RIT will put some colour back into the cheeks of boardroom members, and brighten the eyes of their shareholders.
People generally are feeling upbeat about their job security and prospects and are more confident to spend some of their disposable income instead of saving it for a time of possible unemployment.
The construction industry is often first to feel the effects of recession and last to benefit from any recovery, so it is good to hear that business is on the up in that sector with contracts being placed that previously had been put on hold till better days.
Jesus told a parable about a farmer whose business was on the up. Luke 12:16 reads, "The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God." His business plan would have pleased any bank-manager; he was an expansionist and was prepared to invest his potential profits in building new bigger barns. The man may have been good with numbers but he made the great error of neglecting No.1. Many years ago when I was trading as a small jobbing builder, I was a bit run-down and consulted my doctor. He advised me to ease up, saying, "You are your most important asset in your business". I never forgot that! In my case it was physical and temporary, but in the farmers case it was terminal and spiritual, it concerned his soul.
When Christ was born, the Inn Keeper at Bethlehem must have thought that his business was on the up when Caesar commissioned a census and taxation of everyone in the known world. It meant for him that Bethlehem would be inundated with people needing accommodation, and he was right. When the time came every room in his establishment was booked solid, business was booming. To be confronted by a young couple seeking a room, and her being heavily pregnant was something he could do without. There was no consideration on his part about Mary's condition, no compassion to move him to offer his room for the birth of the Son of God. One might say that he did not know, he was ignorant about Micah 5:2, "But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting." The Inn Keeper missed his opportunity to be involved in the birth of Jesus, for him, the outside place of a stable would be his level of interest in this amazing event of the incarnation of the Son of God.
The busyness of business, whether on the up, or on the down, can rob a person of the most important decision that man has to face, that of, what shall I do with Jesus which is called the Christ?
Why not this Christmas put the Lord in the first place in your life, no longer outside but inside directing the future path of your life, and say with Paul, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain". Life then is altogether on the up!
Wishing you a blessed Christmas and a very happy New Year. God bless.

Q: How do I resolve and assign an inner controller from the outer's scope? Self explanatory fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/5FG2n/1/
Say I have a view with two controllers, one containing the other.  The outer controller is static, but I need to set the inner controller based on a scope variable from the outer.  The scope variable will be the inner controller's name as a string (eg. 'InnerCtrl').
Here's the view:

        {{result}}

And here's the module that is not yet correct:
angular.module('app', [])

    .controller('OuterCtrl', ['$scope',
        function($scope) {

            // Instead of hard coding the controller here,
            // how do I resolve the string 'InnerCtrl' to the
            // controller function defined below, so it can be
            // assigned to this dynamicCtrl property?
            $scope.dynamicCtrl = function($scope) {
                $scope.result = 'not working yet';
            };

            //eg:
            //$scope.dynamicCtrl = resolveCtrl('InnerCtrl');
        }
    ])

    .controller('InnerCtrl', ['$scope', 'service',
        function($scope, service) {
            $scope.result = service.getMessage();
        }
    ])

   .factory('service', function() {
       return {
           getMessage:  function() { return 'working!'; }
       };
    });

I tried using the $injector service:
$scope.dynamicCtrl = $injector.get('InnerCtrl');

But this gives: "Unknown provider: InnerCtrlProvider <- InnerCtrl"
I also thought about using the $controller service:
$scope.dynamicCtrl = $controller('InnerCtrl', {} /* don't want to hard code dependencies */);

But this gives me "Unknown provider: $scopeProvider <- $scope".  I know I could create a scope to pass in,  but I feel that angular should be automatically resolving the scope and service dependencies for me.
How do I resolve a controller function from its name as a string, together with its dependencies, so it can be assigned to a scope variable?

A: I was looking for the same thing and now after few hours finally it works:
You can use the $controller - service, but as you noticed, you need to create the scope on your own:
$controller('InnerCtrl', { $scope: $scope.$new() } );

Don't worry, all the other variables will be injected properly, but Angular isn't able to create the new scope on it's own. If you want to add the controller inside your HTML, it's a bit more complicated, you need to have a function in $scope which exposes the constructor of the controller:
$scope.InnerCtrl = function() {
    return $controller('InnerCtrl', { $scope: $scope.$new() }).constructor;
}

In HTML you can afterwards use it as always: <ANY ng-controller="InnerCtrl"></ANY>
I wrote a post about it with some additional details, but this is the main to solve the problem for you.

Uber lays off 100 autonomous car safety drivers in Pittsburgh
55 new positions will be created, but with demands for higher technical expertise
Uber's autonomous car division has laid off its vehicle operators in Pittsburgh, amounting to about 100 job losses.
The move comes as the ride-sharing company rethinks its driverless vehicle plans, following the death of a pedestrian in Arizona in March, who was struck by one of its autonomous cars.
Uber halts autonomous car testing after pedestrian is hit and killed
Uber safety driver was watching TV on her phone moments before fatal crash
Uber ends self-driving trials in Arizona, lays off 300 staff
Vehicle operators are hired by Uber to sit in the driver's seat of its autonomous vehicles and make sure the system is working correctly. They are also there to takeover in emergencies, or when the vehicle does not know what to do.
News of the layoffs was first reported by Quartz before being confirmed by Uber itself. A spokesperson said: "Our team remains committed to building safe self-driving technology, and we look forward to returning to public roads in the coming months."
The approximately 100 vehicle operators in Pittsburgh had remained on Uber's pay roll until this week, despite the company suspending its autonomous driving trials in North America following the death on March 18.
Following the death of Elaine Hertzberg, 49, Uber closed down its autonomous vehicle operations in Arizona, resulting in the loss of 300 jobs. Uber also lost its license to test autonomous vehicles on the state's roads.
A report into the collision by the National Traffic Safety Board found the vehicle showed no signs of slowing down, and its safety driver was watching an episode of The Voice on her smartphone at the time. This called into question the thoroughness of Uber's training procedures for safety drivers.
Uber chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi said in May that the company is undergoing a "top to bottom" safety review in the wake of the crash. He added that Uber is hopeful of putting its autonomous cars back on public roads "within the next few months".
Uber says it plans to create 55 new roles called "mission specialists", who will test the company's autonomous technology on test tracks and, later, on the public roads again. The spokesperson said these roles will require more technical expertise than was required for the 100 terminated positions.

Democrats promote right-wing, racialist politics
Michigan Governor Whitmer ties fate of Benton Harbor High School to test scores
By Joseph Lorenz
After an outpouring of public anger against Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer's plan to shut down Benton Harbor High School (BHHS), the Democratic administration has announced a new, tentative agreement with the Benton Harbor Area Schools Board of Education.
This announcement came weeks after the city's school board members rejected Governor Whitmer's original offer, under pressure from the massive opposition from teachers, students, parents and community members.
Whitmer's original "offer" was an ultimatum: close down BHHS or the state would take control of and dissolve the financially plagued school district.
The new offer ties the fate of the high school and possibly the district to performance benchmarks on standardized tests as well as financial obligations. Benton Harbor Mayor Marcus Muhammad told ABC 57 in South Bend, Indiana that the academic test score performance benchmarks constitute an unrealistically rapid transformation of the district, and that they were "a trap."
While the details of the agreement have not been made public, the Detroit News reported a statement from Whitmer spokeswoman Tiffany Brown: "Representatives from the governor's office and the Department of Treasury had a productive meeting with Benton Harbor school board members regarding a tentative joint plan that requires the district to meet attainable benchmarks and goals to show improvement in academic outcomes among Benton Harbor area students while stabilizing the finances of the district."
Brown added that the state "has identified national experts who have experience turning around school districts that are struggling and we would like to engage in a day of learning alongside the board and community partners."
The school board will make an announcement on the tentative agreement later this week.
As the fate of Benton Harbor was decided by the Whitmer administration behind closed doors, proponents of racialist politics have intervened to obscure the class issues and promote racial divisions within the working class.
The Detroit News recently published an op-ed by Bankole Thompson which attempts to use the events surrounding BHHS to prove that the interests of teachers and the working class more broadly are in conflict with the interests of blacks.
In his article headline, "In Benton Harbor, labor's interests run counter to blacks," Thompson notes that the MEA was an early supporter of the initial plan from the Whitmer administration. Therefore, Thompson argues, the threat of the Benton Harbor school closure "underscore[s] how the interest of unions have sometimes conflicted with the real issues of inequality that resonate in black communities."
The MEA's position certainly underscores the role of pro-capitalist trade unions in exacerbating social inequality. MEA President Paula Herbart said the original deal was the "best solution for students and families."
But Thompson wants his readers to believe that social inequality is a racial issue rather than one of social class. Rather than explain the underlying economic changes that have led to the transformation of the trade unions, Thompson obscures the underlying material causes by promoting anti-scientific, racialist conceptions.
To this end, Thompson falsifies the history of the labor movement with a passing reference to "the days when labor straddled the fence by paying lip service on racial equality issues." In fact, militant trade unionist movements of the 1930s and 1940s, led for the most part by socialist minded workers, were at the forefront of the fight against racism, and their struggles gave a powerful impetus to the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s.
In the midst of a global surge of teacher strike activity which has lasted over a year, the promotion of racialist politics in the current fight for BHHS should be understood similarly: it is a different tactical approach to the same capitalist strategy of dividing the working class along racial lines.
Chalkbeat Education News published an article titled, "The roles of race, politics, and party in Benton Harbor, where Michigan's governor wants to shutter the high school," featuring an interview with political scientist Domingo Morel, who has recently published a book Takeover about state-takeovers of municipal finances, as in Benton Harbor, Flint, and Detroit.
Morel says that for him, the decisive factor in the all of these anti-democratic maneuvers is race. "Number one, you have a significant African-American population."
According to Morel, the bleeding dry of municipal finances can best be explained by racism. "Takeovers emerged at a time in the 1980s when black communities were fighting for their resources, primarily through the courts. Once that starts to happen, this is when the takeover policy kind of emerges—precisely when communities across the country are winning these cases to provide the resources that they need to provide an education. When the issue becomes resources, then there's an increasingly hostile relationship between state governments, who are reluctant to give up the resources, and the city governments running schools."
Morel attempts to obscure the material, economic causes for financial crises which plague former industrial centers. The Workers Inquiry into the Bankruptcy of Detroit and the Attack on the DIA and Pensions, organized by the Socialist Equality Party in 2014, provided a detailed examination of the material, economic causes behind the attack on Detroit workers by international finance capital.
Students and parents have voiced concerns about their students being sent to other, predominantly white, districts outside of Benton Harbor. From this starting point, the proponents of racialist politics conclude that race is the decisive factor in the battle to keep BHHS open.
While it is certainly the right of Benton Harbor students to attend their own school, racial politics cannot offer a fighting perspective for teachers and students to defend themselves from this attack. In the first place, this perspective cannot adequately explain the attacks on public education, which are part of a global assault by the capitalist class. More importantly, the injection of racial politics only serves to strengthen the position of the capitalists by pitting white and black workers against each other.

YNDC Receives $25K for Housing Counseling Program
Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp. received $25,000 from Premier Bank to support their housing counseling program. The program assists clients with identifying and resolving the barriers to home ownership.
"It's a very important part of our housing work where we work with people on a one-on-one basis to become successful homeowners or just to improve their overall housing quality, financial stability, all of those sorts of things. But again it's a free service so without this type of support from our banking partners, we couldn't offer it in that way, so it's very important," says Ian Beniston, executive director for Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corp.

Clapton Joins Van Morrison's Anti-Lockdown Crusade
Posted on December 1, 2020 | 1 Comment
Celeb 2day
Clapton Joins Van Morrison's Anti-Lockdown Crusade. Music Legends Eric Clapton, Van Morrison Team for Anti-Lockdown Single 'Stand and Deliver'. Music legends Van Morrison and Eric Clapton have announced a new single, "Stand and Deliver," in support of Morrison's Save Live Music campaign. The blues track was written by Morrison and is performed by Clapton. Morrison, best known for songs like "Brown Eyed Girl," "Domino" and "Wild Night," as well as seminal albums "Moondance" and "Astral Weeks," released three songs protesting the U.K. lockdown over September and October, titled "Born To Be Free," "As I Walked Out" and "No More Lockdown." Proceeds from "Stand and Deliver" will go to the Morrison's Lockdown Financial Hardship Fund, which helps musicians facing difficulties as a result of the coronavirus and resulting lockdown measures. Clapton — the only three-time inductee to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — called the dearth of live events due to lockdown restrictions "deeply upsetting." "There are many of us who support Van and his endeavors to save live music; he is an inspiration," Clapton said. "We must stand up and be counted because we need to find a way out of this mess. The alternative is not worth thinking about. Live music might never recover." "Eric's recording is fantastic and will clearly resonate with the many who share our frustrations," said Morrison. "It is heart-breaking to see so many talented musicians lack any meaningful support from the government, but we want to reassure them that we are working hard every day to lobby for the return of live music, and to save our industry." England on Thursday announced a return to the three-tier system after lockdown lifts on Dec. 2. A number of cities, including the capital region of London and Liverpool, fall under the lesser restrictions of Tier 2. The virus has so far claimed more than 57,000 lives in the U.K. Clapton and Morrison performed together at London's O2 Arena in March, to raise funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity, weeks before the first U.K. lockdown was imposed. "Stand and Deliver" will be available for download and streaming from iTunes, Amazon Music, Deezer and all other outlets from Dec. 4. #EricClapton#VanMorrison#Celeb2Day

The new administrative state capital of Andhra Pradesh- Amaravati- is set to rise as a sustainable smart city. On a recent visit to India, Lord Foster- the owner of Foster + Partners- met the state's chief minister- N Chandrababu Naidu and state officials to supervise the next stage of the development of the governmental complex in the city. The international firm has planned to design 217-square-kilometre city's central governmental complex. It will also include two key structures, including high court complex and the legislative assembly, along with many secretariat buildings.
According to Foster + Partners, situated on the banks of the River Krishna, the 134- square mile city is strategically positioned to get easy access to fresh water and will be one of the most sustainable in the world. Moreover, the city has been planned to the highest standards of sustainability, including the widespread use of electric vehicles and solar energy. The city has been designed by using the latest and advanced technology such as photovoltaic. Additionally, the transportation plan includes dedicated cycling routes, electric vehicles, water taxis and shaded streets that encourage people to walk through the city.
Foster +Partners' master plan is to create the green "spine" that will be at least 60 percent covered with either water or greenery. Also, they claim that the area must be inspired by Lutyens' Delhi and New York's Central Park as the city has a robust urban grid.
The plan is to keep the legislative assembly building inside of a large freshwater lake at the centre of the spine, which will appear to be floating over the water's surface. Based on Hindu principles of Vastu Shastra, its square plan has the ministers' entry from the east and the public entrance from the North. The centre of the building is designed to be a void, close to a courtyard. Moreover, the structure noticeably spikes 820 feet towards the sky at its core. There will be a spiral ramp that will take people to a cultural museum and the viewing gallery.
The high court complex is positioned off the spine's central axis, with its stepped, dome-shaped roof influenced by India's ancient stupas. The deep overhangs allow natural ventilation and cooling throughout, and the programming is made up of concentric layers of rooms and circulation spaces. The public-facing parts, the lower courts and the administrative offices will be located on the outer edges of the building, while the most sensitive inner areas are reserved for the private chambers and the Chief Justice's court.

Detroit Fall Beer Festival, Simone Biles, and more things to do in and around the Motor City this week

Saturday, 10/23: At 22 years old, New York hip-hop wunderkind MIKE knows a thing or two about feeling as if the weight of the world balances on his shoulders. Born in New Jersey, raised in London, and now back in the states, MIKE's catalog of beat-driven stories are documents of his ongoing quest for peace as he also balances the pressure of being referred to as one of the most important artists in contemporary hip-hop, a label assigned to him by Pitchfork, The Fader, and The New Yorker. Inspired by acts like King Krule, Earl Sweatshirt, and the late MF DOOM, MIKE rarely avoids addressing the tough shit, like pain, anxiety, and loss, in his music, even though most of his albums are released on one of the best, most sunshine-filled days of the year: June 21, the first day of summer. Such is the case with his latest record, DISCO!, which was released earlier this year and, aside from being completely disco-less, is considerably more upbeat than his previous records, yet delivers on some of MIKE's signature elements: slow and low vocals, personal excavation, masterful storytelling, and the occasional emotional gut punch. But DISCO! ushers in a new era for the young rising star. "Struggling? Hmm, nah, but I'm recovering," he confesses on "Aww (Zaza)." We love to hear it. Liv.e, Black Noi$e, and Sideshow are also on the bill.

Detroit Fall Beer Festival
Saturday, 10/23: Don't get us wrong: we love fall. No, seriously. It's practically our religion. Though nothing beats autumn in Michigan, the minute the leaves begin changing and pumpkin spice mania takes over, us midwesterners know what's coming next: six months of cold, dark, motivation-less months of painstaking boredom, malaise, and, yes, S.A.D. Before we get too down in the dumps and abuse our BetterHelp account, there's a bubbly, hoppy, totally autumnal celebration that will have us dizzy with, well, beer. The 12th annual Detroit Fall Beer Festival is once again invading Detroit's Eastern Market as one of the largest all-Michigan brew tasting events in the country. This year, however, the Detroit Fall Festival is packing in all the sipping and chugging into a single day rather than the previous two days which, if we're being honest, is probably wise for anyone over the age of 30. With each ticket purchase, revelers are awarded 15 drink tokens, and each one allows for a 3-oz. beer sample. Presented by the Michigan Brewers Guild, DBF will feature more than 800 craft beers from nearly 120 Michigan breweries. Food will be available for purchase which might as well be a legal requirement when tossing back so many tasty brews. Remember, drive responsibly, or better yet, buy a $5 designated driver ticket. —Jerilyn Jordan
Event is 1-6 p.m. at Eastern Market, Detroit; mibeer.com. Tickets are $50-$60.
Gold Over America
Sunday, 10/24: If you've been bumming since Aug. 9., the day after the 2021 Tokyo Olympics wrapped, don't flip out — or do, just remember to stretch first. Detroit is getting some face time with some of the greatest gymnasts of all time, including, well, arguably the greatest gymnast of all time. Serving up Olympic gold realness via the 35-city Gold Over America Tour are decorated gymnasts Jordan Chiles, MyKayla Skinner, Grace McCallum, Jade Carey, Laurie Hernandez, Katelyn Ohashi, Morgan Hurd, Peng-Peng Lee, and Simone Biles, among others. "The show embodies the themes of empowerment and togetherness which was on display in Tokyo," Biles said in a statement. "Together, all the gymnasts on this tour want to inspire the next generation of women and athletes."
The spectacle, which is described as "a high-energy gymnastics-meets-pop concert spectacular," will feature the performers' famous routines as well as career highlights and personal videos. The performance will also give fans an opportunity to dance in the show's finale alongside all the gymnasts. But didn't all these incredible athletes just perform for millions of people? Why do it again, without the allure of taking home the gold? Well, event organizers say the tour emerged from the gymnasts "personal values of empowerment, friendship, positive body image, mental health awareness, and self-confidence."
And this isn't coming out of nowhere — in fact, mental health among athletes, performers, and youth was something that was thrust into the spotlight when Biles, a four-time gold medal champion and most decorated U.S. athlete of all time, withdrew from the individual all-around competition finals during this year's Olympics in an effort to prioritize her mental health. "I have to put my pride aside," Biles said after pulling out. "I have to do what's right for me and focus on my mental health and not jeopardize my health and well-being. That's why I decided to take a step back." Can we give her a gold medal for being a badass? — Jerilyn Jordan
Event begins at 7 p.m. at Little Caesars Arena, 2645 Woodward Ave., Detroit; 313-471-7000; 313presents.com. Tickets are $26.50+.

Q: How can I use big braces in an align* multi long equation in LaTeX? This is my code but it does not work when I change \left( and \right) to \Big) and \Big)
\begin{align*}
\bar{h}_{m}^{jk}&=\omega_{k}h_{m}^{jk}(a)\\
&=\left(  \omega_{k}\left\{
\zeta_{h}\mid\zeta_{h}\in p_{1}\circ h_{m}^{jk}(a)\right\}  ,\omega
_{k}\left\{  \zeta_{h}\mid\zeta_{h}\in p_{2}\circ h_{m}^{jk}(a)\right\}
,\dots, \right.\\
 &\qquad \left.\omega_{k}\left\{  \zeta_{h}\mid\zeta_{h}\in p_{m}\circ h_{m}%
^{jk}(a)\right\}  \right)  \\
&=\left(  \left\{  \bar{\zeta}_{h}\mid\bar{\ze
}_{h}\in p_{1}\circ h_{m}^{jk}(a)\right\}  ,\left\{  \bar{\zeta}_{h}\mid
\bar{\zeta}_{h}\in p_{2}\circ h_{m}^{jk}(a)\right\}  ,\dots,\left\{  \bar{\zeta
}_{h}\mid\bar{\zeta}_{h}\in p_{m}\circ h_{m}^{jk}(a)\right\}  \right)  .
\end{align*}

A: Each \left is always paired with a \right, and this pairing cannot cross a & or \\ .  Whoever wrote your code actually (correctly) paired \left( with \right. and \left. with \right); the . means that TeX won't typeset the fence, but now knows how much to measure for the sizing.
Changing \left( to \Big( and \right) to \Big) means that you are leaving \left. and \right. in there, and TeX gets confused about what you're trying to pair.  The solution is that when you change \left( to \Big( and \right) to \Big) then you also need to remove the now superfluous \left. and \right..
By the way, for spacing purposes, you may want to use \Bigl( and \Bigr).  That tells TeX that it is dealing with a left or right fence.

A: Like this?
