Hedge Fund Manager Donates $100 Million for
Central Park
ceremony at the fountain.
When asked at the news conference what prompted the gift, Mr. Paulson said: "Walking through the
park in different seasons, it kept coming back that in my mind Central Park is the most deserving of ali of New York's cultural institutions. And I wanted the amount to make a difference. The park is very large, and its endowment is relatively small."
The park's current endowment stands at $144 million. Half of Mr. Paulson's gift will go to the endowment, while the other half will be used for capital improvements. Mr. Paulson mentioned that he considered important: Restoring the park's North Woods, and sprucing up the Merchanfs Gate entrance at the park's Southwest comer, the most heavily used entrance.
Mr. Paulson has been a supporter of the Central Park Conservancy for 20 years, but this is his first major gift to the park. He joined the conservancy's board in June.
Two former parks commissioners, Henry Stern and Adrian Benepe, were at the news conference on Tuesday. It was also attended by Elizabeth Barlow Rogers and Richard Gilder, key figures in the conservancy's founding.
The announcement was made under cloudy skies in a ceremony attended by hundreds of employees of the Central Park Conservancy in their gray sweatshirts, as well as the conservancy's board. Doug Blonsky, the president and chief executive officer of the conservancy, which operates Central Park for the city, hailed the gift as "transformational," saying that it would break the cycle of restoration and decline that has marked the park throughout its 153-year history.

O indicador de Inadimplência aponta alta de 7% na comparação com mesmo mês do ano passado, o menor ritmo de expansão nesta base de comparação desde agosto de 2010.
Wladimir D'Andrade, da Agência Estado
A inadimplência do consumidor recuou 0,2% na passagem de julho para agosto deste ano, a terceira queda mensal consecutiva, informou a Serasa Experian. O Indicador de Inadimplência do Consumidor aponta alta de 7% na comparação com mesmo mês do ano passado, porém este é o menor ritmo de expansão nesta base de comparação desde agosto de 2010. Além disso, no ano até agosto, a inadimplência cresceu 16,2%, ritmo bem menor que o verificado no mesmo período de 2011, quando o
indicador teve alta de 23,4%.
De acordo com a Serasa Experian, os dados "confirmam que a inadimplência do consumidor está
perdendo fôlego", em razão da redução das taxas de juros no crédito, renegociação de dívidas, lotes recordes de restituição do Imposto de Renda e antecipação da primeira parcela do 13º salário aos aposentados e pensionistas realizada na última semana de agosto.
Os resultados também mostram diferentes cenários. Nos primeiros oito meses do ano passado, a
inadimplência era crescente por causa da expansão do endividamento de 2010 e dos juros mais altos. Já no mesmo período deste ano, o quadro de redução dos juros e o baixo consumo contribuíram para uma reversão do indicador, avaliou a empresa, em nota distribuída à imprensa.
As dívidas com bancos e os cheques sem fundos puxaram para baixo a queda da inadimplência em agosto, com variações negativas de 1,3% e 2,9%, respectivamente. Os títulos protestados recuaram 0,8%. E a queda no indicador geral só não foi maior porque as dívidas não bancárias (cartões de crédito, financeiras, lojas em geral e prestadoras de serviços como telefonia e fornecimento de energia elétrica e água) apresentaram alta de 1,5%.
