Letting someone lose money on sovereign debt is the acid test for the euro.
By JOHN H. COCHRANE
Last week the Greek bailout ballooned into a gargantuan 750 billion euro (
nearly $1 trillion) debt stabilization fund, including a $39 billion line of
credit from the International Monetary Fund. This coincided with the
European Central Bank (ECB) announcement that it would immediately begin
purchasing junk-rated Greek debt.

It takes more fuel to start a vehicle than it does to let it idle.
People are really confused about this one and will leave a car idling for
half an hour rather than turn it off and restart. Some kids I know started
an anti-idling campaign in the suburbs and are shaming parents into shutting
down their cars.
Idling uses a quarter- to a half-gallon of fuel in an hour (costing you one

常年霸占公园，虽然只能打5个回合，虽然球速很慢，虽然遇到4.0必败，也丝毫不影响

而跟比赛激烈程度关系最大。2.5 vs 2.5，只要比分是6-7, 7-6, 6-7，也一样极其
刺激，不管赢家还是输家，都希望再来一次。砸不砸拍，跟2.5还是4.5无关，只要

Dogs
Dogs age 7 years for every human year. Contrary to popular belief, there is
no exact formula to gauge how much a dog ages – it's as individual for dogs
as it is for people. But a rough guide is thus: The first year of a dog's
life is equivalent to 16 human years. After 2 years, they are the equivalent
of a 24-year-old. At 3 years, they are the equivalent of a 30-year-old.
Each year after, add 5 human years to determine your dog's age |

there. The First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law respecting an
