	Insure.com - health insurance - Penn Treaty resumes selling long term care insurance in 23 states (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Penn Treaty had stopped writing new long term care insurance policies in April 2001 because it could not meet the surplus level required by law, a crisis sparked by the company's faster-than-expected growth in its sales of long term care insurance policies.
		Penn Treaty itself is the subject of lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia in April 2001 on behalf of shareholder Earl R. Sullivan.
		According to the lawsuit, Penn Treaty repeatedly said increased growth was not jeopardizing the company's health and that it had adequate reserves for the increased level of business, despite its inability to maintain adequate reserve levels.

		Penn became an object of national controversy and derision in the early 1990s as a result of the infamous "water buffalo" incident, in which a white student yelled "Shut up, you water buffaloes!" at a group of African American sorority members engaged in a rather loud initiation ritual below his dormitory window.
		The IPO raised an estimated $67.8 million, of which $32 million, or 47.2 percent, was to be paid to Penn: $26 million upon signing the ten-year contract with Crow, and another $6 million at the beginning of the second year of the contract.
		When the plazas were originally announced, many opponents of Penn's vending plans, as well as the undergraduate student government, opposed the location of this plaza precisely on the grounds that impending gymnasium renovations would soon eliminate it.

	Balassa-Samuelson effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The interesting Penn effect is that the RER deviations usually occur in the same direction: where incomes are high, prices are relatively expensive compared to an international average, and where they are low, the Consumer Price Index tends to be below the average.
		Yves Bourdet and Hans Falck have studied the effect of Cape Verde remittances on the traded-goods sector ([2]).
		The Balassa-Samuelson effect might be one reason to oppose this trade theory, because it predicts that: a GDP gain in traded goods does not lead to as much of an improvement in the living standard as an equal GDP increase in the non-traded sector.
