Tom Petty recorded the song for his 1989 solo album, Full Moon Fever. In 1978, country singer Bobby Bare covered the song for his album Sleeper Wherever I Fall. This past week, songwriter Kashena Sampson released her upbeat single, A Whole Lot Better.
If anyone knows the healing power of music, it is a songwriter. As Nashville finally begins to heal, musicians like Cashena may as well begin to turn their attention back to what makes our city great, the music. Tune into Lightning 100 to listen to his upbeat single, and watch his new music video below.
There is nothing quite like a Supreme Court inauguration to get the grassroots fired up for either side. All this is not to say the Courts selection was entirely without political danger to Biden.
Biden could make a landmark pick that generates excitement among Black voters. Doing so can also help Bidens standing with Black voters, who have not only propelled Bidens Democratic candidacy in 2020, but also make up the core of his increasingly divided base. This opportunity could not have come at a better time for Biden; only 60% of Black voters approved of the way Biden was handling his job in the Pew Research Centers poll.
The acquisition of quarterback Russell Wilson has led to thoughts of a significantly improved passing attack in Denver, but running back Melvin Gordon does not believe it will be the only area in which the Broncos are better this season.
Technology has also opened the fronts for far more complex means to challenge the alignments. While this sort of micro-managing does not drastically change a large number of districts, which are already heavily gerrymandered from years of partisan mapmaking, the results of this micro-managing seem unquestionable on balance. With the recent Android Automotive 13 version, Google has made a number of improvements to the overall system, the experience, the connectivity, and privacy, one of which would make using Android Auto in rentals better than it is ever been.
Using the RWI policies to mitigate the litigation risks and the cost of D&O insurance has been one of our creative ideas for a while. In advocating for our SPAC clients, we also have advocated for directors and officers insurance companies to consider discounting and offering price breaks for the high costs of D & O coverage in SPACs. As an added benefit, purchasing RWI policies can also result in better terms and lower prices for post-merger combined entity D & O policies.
Anthony Scaramucci says that bond markets are indicating inflation is not going to last for long. The decline is happening right now, and that shows that the bond market is telling you inflation is not going to stick around for very long, adds Anthony Scaramucci. He is pricing in that the economy is going to have two-quarters of negative growth, leading to a mild recession.
When drag happens, we are going to be back into that fear of deflation we had five to six years ago, said Anthony Scaramucci. Markets love a mix of governments, so we are likely to see stock markets rise leading up to the midterm elections, he added. If you take a step back from month-to-month inflation rates and look at the broader economy picture, things are looking better, Anthony Scaramucci noted. While the inflation is not transitory, and the Fed is getting this one wrong, it is not also not sustained or systemic, he added.
The 10-year breakeven rate, a measure of the difference between the 10-year Treasury Notes yield and the equivalent 10-year Treasury Notes yield protected by inflation, is now below 250 basis points, said Anthony Scaramucci. His assessment is that another one to two rate increases would occur, one at 75 basis points and the other at 50 basis points, totaling 125 basis points. Second baseman Nick Madrigal has had to do more work in order to extend, with some days being better than others. Madrigal said his doctors told him that it might be a year or two after surgery before he feels completely normal again.
Second baseman Nick Madrigal entered Thursday hitting.313, with an on-base percentage of.421, since the Cubs activated him off the 10-day injured list a couple weeks ago. Then, just as Madrigal was starting to get acquainted with his new teammates and Cubs staff--he visited Wrigley Field in September, and spent the offseason rehabbing at the Cubs spring-training facility in Arizona--the MLB lockout struck. Band member Gene Clark had just written a song, "I am Gonna Feel A Whole Lot Better When You Go," which was all that was, but I wrote the entire song within minutes.
