Information and volatility linkages in the stock, bond, and money markets11This paper was previously under the title, `Volatility and common information in the stock, bond, and money markets’. We thank Paul Seguin (the referee) for numerous suggestions that substantially imporved the paper. We also received the helpful comments from Bill Schwert (the editor), David Ellis, Wayne Ferson, John Graham, Bruce Grundy, Kathleen Weiss Hanley, Larry Harris, George Kanatas, Tom Smith, Raul Susmel, and Bob Whaley, and seminar participants at the 1996 Texas Finance Symposium, the 1997 American Finance Association meetings in New Orleans, The Australian Graduate School of Management, the University of Houston, Rice University, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Utah, and the University of Washington. Part of this research was completed while the second author was visiting Rice University.

The Consortium for Continental Reflection Profiling (COCORP) announces the availability of the data package and tapes for the Laramie Range area, Wyoming, for the cost of reproduction. The COCORP operation is part of the U.S. Geodynamics Project sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and funded by the National Science Foundation. The executive committee of the consortium consists of members from Cornell University, University of Houston, Princeton University, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Wisconsin, and the U.S. Geological Survey. Cornell University is the operating institution.

The Consortium for Continental Reflection Profiling (COCORP) announces the availability of the data package and tapes for the Oklahoma area, part I, for the cost of reproduction. These data were obtained by COCORP who are applying sophisticated, continuous seismic reflection techniques to the solution of geologic problems of the earth's crust and upper mantle. The operation is part of the U.S. Geodynamics Project sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences and funded by the National Science Foundation. The executive committee of the consortium consists of members from Cornell University, University of Houston, Princeton University, the University of Texas at Austin, and the U.S. Geological Survey.

Lutz Ackermann of the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen oxidized (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 3484) the anisole derivative 1 to the phenol 2. Melanie S. Sanford of the University of Michigan devised (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 5428) complementary condi­tions for either para acetoxylation of 3, illustrated, to give 4, or meta acetoxylation. Lukas J. Goossen of the Technische Universität Kaiserlautern developed (Synthesis 2013, 45, 2387) conditions for the cascade alkoxylation/decarboxylation of 5 to give 6. Cheol-Hong Cheon of Korea University showed (J. Org. Chem. 2013, 78, 12154) that the boronic acid of 7 could act as a blocking group during electrophilic aromatic substitution or, as illustrated, as an ortho directing group. It could then be removed by protodeboronation, leading to 8. Jun Wu of Zhejiang University coupled (Synlett 2013, 24, 1448) the phenol 9 with the bromo amide 10 to give an ether that, on exposure to KOH at elevated temperature, rearranged to the intermediate amide, that was then hydrolyzed to 11. Dong-Shoo Shin of Changwon National University reported (Tetrahedron Lett. 2013, 54, 5151) a similar protocol (not illustrated) to prepare unsubsti­tuted anilines. Guangbin Dong of the University of Texas, Austin used (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 18350) a variation on the Catellani reaction to add 13 to the ortho bromide 12 to give the meta amine 14. Kei Manabe of the University of Shizuoka found (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2013, 52, 8611) that the crystalline N-for­myl saccharin 16 was a suitable CO donor for the carbonylation of the bromide 15 to the aldehyde 17. John F. Hartwig of the University of California, Berkeley described (J. Org. Chem. 2013, 78, 8250) the coupling of the zinc enolate of an ester (Reformatsky reagent), either preformed or generated in situ, with an aryl bromide 18 to give 19. Olafs Daugulis of the University of Houston developed (Org. Lett. 2013, 15, 5842) conditions for the directed ortho phenoxylation of 20 with 21 to give 22. Yao Fu of the University of Science and Technology of China effected (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2013, 135, 10630) directed ortho cyanation of 23 with 24 to give 25.

Professor Maxwell McCombs began his career as a journalist in the 1960s, as a reporter for the New Orleans Times. A decade later, McCombs, in partnership with Donald Shaw, developed one of his major theories -the agenda-setting hypothesis, now considered a theory, which reflects on the influence of the mass media in relation to public affairs. In the 1980s, McCombs became a professor in the Journalism Department at the University of Texas. In this interview, we seek to recover the basis of the Agenda-setting theory and confront the initial hypothesis with the contemporary scenario and the advent of the internet, contextualizing particularities of Brazilian politics and electoral process and seeking to reflect on the possibility of scheduling different media, especially TV. McCombs was emphatic in saying that the media agenda plays an important ethical role "to use time and space for important topics and not fun topics"

Despite the death threats against schools of library and information science (LIS) that were rampant during the final decades of the twentieth century, LIS graduate programs are alive and well and have a promising prognosis for the twenty-first century. The challenge, however, is to adapt to the changing personae of the American university and the emerging roles of information professionals in all aspects of our society. Today’s university is less concerned with maintaining the strict boundaries of traditional disciplines and instead encourages thinking that is transdisciplinary. Although this new model respects the uniqueness of various subject areas, it celebrates collaboration . . .

To answer the question, one needs to consider whether special collections are any more special today than they have been in the past. The question has particularly intrigued me since I was asked to present a paper in November 1976 as part of the University of Texas at Austin Graduate School of Library Science Colloquium Series, to wit —“What’s So Special about Special Collections¿̣” My perspective was that of a university administrator with line responsibility for one of the great Latin American collections in the world, the most comprehensive collection of Texas-related materials in existence, very young area collections of . . .
