Humor - spammy comments

January 27th, 2012

I routinely delete spam comments on this blog. Some of the recent ones are kinda funny:

I hate my life but at least this makes it bearable.

The paragon of understanding these issues is right here!

I thought I’d have to read a book for a discovery like this!

Corrected IRC 417 - Problem set A

January 27th, 2012

A student alerted me that this file would not play on their iPhone. I recreated the file, and now it works properly on my iPhone.

When will materials be ready?

January 13th, 2012

Several students asked me about printing out all the materials. You should not bother doing that yet - so I have disabled that feature of the online seminar.

As shown on my web site, January 31 is when I send out the EA-2B materials. I’m finalizing the materials to distribute to all of you.

If you purchased the live or online course, you will receive a box with 1,600+ pages of material. In addition, you’ll get a CD-ROM (with PDF files for overheads, outlines and practice problems) in the box.

If you are getting a free-peat of the online course, you will receive a CD-ROM in the mail.

Something strange happened - somehow had two different audio tracks at once. I recreated the file, and am uploading it for production into the various formats. It will be available shortly.

April 20th, 2011

I added discussions of  the 2009 Multiemployer exam problems in the overheads. I discovered that discussions for several problems were misplaced. I moved the discussion for 2008-15 to the Introductory notes section, and for 2008-13 and 2008-14 to the PBGC Miscellaneous sections.
