LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) - Rex Grossman was 12 years old when Brett Favre began a streak of straight starts for the Green Bay Packers that will reach 191 Sunday. Instead of on TV, Grossman will get to watch Favre up close when the Bears and Packers meet at Lambeau Field.

• The Determinants of Health Status in Sub-Saharan Africa (Ssa)

This study examines the determinants of health status (as measured by life expectancy at birth) in SSA based on the Grossman (1972) theoretical model which considers the economic (the ratio of health expenditure to GDP and the per capita food availability index), social (the illiteracy rate and alcohol consumption), and environmental factors (urbanization rate and carbon dioxide emission per capita index). The coefficients of the health status function are estimated by one-way and two-way panel data analyses. The two-way random-effect model results suggest that a decrease in illiteracy rate and an increase in the food availability index are well positively associated with improvements in life expectancy at birth. Overall results also suggest that a health policy that may focus on the pr...

• Household production of health investment: analysis and applications.

Michael Grossman's health investment model, which elucidates on the allocations between both leisure and income, and health and nonhealth goods, was extended to include a number of factors. The new model combines labor-leisure selection with the individual's production of both health and nonhealth goods, and differentiates between medical expenses and healthcare investment. This offers a framework for studying the consequences of changes in incomes and wages, alternative insurance arrangements, travel time, waiting times, and schooling.

Today, he's a financial adviser with a passion for... knitting. He and his daughter, Sarah, will conduct a class in knitting a "Terrible Scarf" as part of the Feb. 24-25 Pittsburgh Knitting Festival (www.pittsburghknitting.com/festival.html). And yes, he totally showed me one of his Super Bowl rings. I was joking with my daughter, "You want to teach men how to knit scarves?" She thought it was a great idea. So now I'm going to be the special assistant. We're having this class for 15 guys: There are going to be 14 Steelers fans and one Cleveland Browns fan: my brother-in-law. This [indicates a black-and-gold s...

• Vcs Fuel Their Funds with Sun, Soybeans and the Occasional Algae Bloom

[Jesse Grossman], whose business fits into that category, doesn't like to talk about his company's financial backers. That said, Soltage and its business model are definitely on the radar screen of venture cap funds that monitor the New Jersey marketplace. In a study released last year, the Cleantech Network LLC in Ann Arbor, Mich, said the Garden State ranked fifth in the nation in encouraging the growth of clean tech startup companies, due in part to Gov. Jon Corzine's aggressive legislation to lower current greenhouse gas emission levels by 20 percent by 2020, and by 80 percent by 2050. Investors are particularly focused on energy efficiency and alternative energy, including solar power that converts sunlight into electricity, wind power, fuel cell technology, biofuels and other ene...
