"The history of the Flathead Indian Reservation in Western Montana is the sum of the life stories of indivdual tribal members. Many of these stories remain to be told, but few are as dramatic and engaging as that of Duncan McDonald, 1849-1937. McDonald's life ran from the fur trade to the automobile. He fought to defend the tribes and did his best to advance the views and interests of the Flathead Reservation Indian community." --

This text is written for an introductory course in fluid mechanics. Our approach to the subject emphasizes the physical concepts of fluid mechanics and methods of analysis that begin from basic principles. One primary objective of this text is to help users develop an orderly approach to problem solving. Thus, we always start from governing equations, state assumptions clearly, and try to relate mathematical results to corresponding physical behavior. We emphasize the use of control volumes to maintain a practical problem-solving approach that is also theoretically inclusive

The near-failure on September 16, 2008, of American International Group (AIG) was an iconic moment in the financial crisis. The decision to rescue AIG was controversial at the time and remains so. Large bets on real estate pushed AIG to the brink of bankruptcy. In one case, AIG used securities lending to transform insurance company assets into residential mortgage-backed securities (RMBS) and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), losing at least $21 billion and threatening the solvency of the life insurance companies. AIG also sold insurance on multi-sector CDOs, backed by real estate assets, losing more than $30 billion. These activities were apparently motivated by a belief that AIG's real estate bets would not suffer defaults and were "money-good." This report finds that these securities have in fact suffered write-downs and that the stark "money-good" claim can be rejected. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
