Understanding Interest Rates (NAPS)--If you've ever had a mortgage, a car loan or a student loan, you know that today's econ-•• omy is fundamentally linked to interest rates--and understand- ing them can make a difference in your own finances. To help, one of the world's lead- ing derivatives exchanges created a new video to explain interest rates and the economy. Called "The Ins and Outs of Interest Rates," it shows how businesses manage interest rate I risk and how that affects both banks and their customers. i A new video helps you understand : the ins and outs of interest rates. i For when take out example, you i a mortgage, the lender determines the rate of interest on the loan. This rate is heavily influenced by the overall economy's interest rates. The bank, in turn, pays inter- est to the Federal Reserve Bank, the central banking system of the United States. Think of it like this: If the bank is your lender, then the Fed is the bank's lender. Since these interest rates move all the time, the bank is constantly exposed to price risks that will shape how much money it loans out, and at what rate. "The topic of home mortgages and interest rates is extremely important for the U.S. financial system. Given the current climate, we wanted to outline the impor- tance and value of managing inter- est rate risk on the economy and on individuals--whether they are in the markets or not," explained Anita Liskey, CME Group Manag- ing Director, Corporate Marketing & Communications.

Sept. 20, 2016 Hinton News - 5 The morning cup of coffee has an exhilaration about it which the cheering influence of the afternoon or evening cup of tea cannot be expected to reproduce. ---Oliver Wendell Holmes Paid Political Advertisement An important message from _William A. 0'Brie___n, Democratic candidate for the West Virginia House of Delegates, to the voters of District 28, Summers, Monroe, :. and the southern precincts of Raleigh County. ,,Toward a Second Constitutional convention'' In a Charleston Gazette op-ed piece earlier this year (February 12, 2016), I expressed a serious concern ["Heed Madison's Warnin Against Deceitful Demagogues"] about American Legislative Exchange Council [ALEC ] efforts to stampede compliant, unsuspecting Republican state legislatures into approving a call for a second Constitutional Convention under Article V. Koch money pouring into the state was an issue. West Virginia was my principal concern. Irreparable damage to the Constitution was an overriding consideration. In March, the West Virginia legislature became the 28th state of the 34 needed to convene such a convention. House Bill 2424, as passed, contains language seemingly intended to prevent a runaway convention. It replaced a defeated Senate measure [SR 10] that would have granted the proposed convention the kind of latitude its most committed sponsors sought, to "limit the power and jurisdiction of the federal government and limit the terms of office for its officials and for members of Congress." On a straight party vote, Senate Republicans unanimou ;ly approved it. Under the guise of passing a Balanced Budget Amendment, a called convention under Article V of the Constitution would, in fact, constitute a virtual "blank check" to make additional changes to the Constitution. The only example we have to go by, let's remember, was the 1787 convention itself. Called ostensibly "to revise the Articles of Confederation," this sole guiding precedent, our only predictor of what might happen, was a runaway convention. Republican strength in the House was not sufficient to approve the Senate resolution, there's little doubt the damage a few more Republican seats in the House would have wrought. And that's only if the limitations off the Right!s most committed ideolo ues " ............ ""' .............. " ""in a -for-all, Ab g : f, deed.,.:, M dis n; e acknowledged "father" of the Constitution," alerted citizens to the schemes of such demagogues. In Federalist#55, he warned of those who would use what he termed "the dark view of human nature" to deny citizens the right to self-government. If what enemies to self-government say about man's evil nature were really true, Madison wrote, we'd have no choice but to conclude that "there is not sufficient virtue among men for self-government; and ... nothing less than the chains of despotism can restrain them from destroying and devouring one another." Man governing himself is a dream that can never happen. Madison had warned in an earlier paper [Federalist #49] that such a called convention would likely be dominated by "the very men who had been agents" in calling it. It would not be the good sense of the public that would prevail' he reasoned, but rather their "passions." In a republic, he concluded, "it is the reason, alone, of the public, that ought to control and regulate the government. The passions ought to be controlled and regulated by the government." So there we have it From the same man who gave us the Constitution BEWARE OF THOSE WHO WOULD DUPE CITIZENS INTO BELIEVING THEIR PLANS TO RESTRUCTURE OUR CONSTITUTION ARE DESIGNED TO BENEFIT US. MOST LIKELY, THEY'RE INTENDED TO SERVE THEIR INTERESTS, NOT OURS. WE LIVE IN PERILOUS TIMES. EMOTIONS RUN HIGH. VERY QUESTIONABLE SOLUTIONS EXTREMELY COMPLEX PRESENTED, MOST ARE HYPED; FEW ARE EVALUATED SERIOUSLY. THIS IS NOT THE TIME PUT THE CONSTITUTION ON THE TABLE REVISION, ONCE WE DO, WE'LL NOT HAVE A CHANCE TO CHANGE OUR MINDS, Sometimes, being a loyal team player isn't all it's cracked up to be. We see every Sunday the NFL version of doing your job, following the game plan. It seems always tO work. But when it comes to representative government, it's the best interests of constituents, not absentee script writers looking to loyal, robotic yes-men to follow orders that must rule the day. Your vote in November is critical. Make sure it goes to a candidate of principle. Vision. One who has your best interests at-heart. Being "a good guy" is important, but in this game it's notenough. Not.if that good guy is marching to a drumbeat comingfrom somewhere other than his own constituents. THANK YOU! Paid for by William O'Brien " "" ... "
