Risky Swaps
In [10] we presented a reduced form of risky bond pricing. At the default date a bond seller fail to continue fulfill his obligation and the price of the bond sharply drops down. If the face value of the defaulted bond for no-default scenarios is $1 then the bond price just after default is called its recovery rate (RR). Rating agencies and theoretical models are trying to predict RR for companies or sovereign countries. The main theoretical problem with a risky bond or with general debt problems is presenting the price given the RR. The problem of a credit default swap (CDS) pricing is somewhat an adjacent problem. Recall that the corporate bond price is inversely depends on interest rate. The credit risk on a debt investment is related to the loss if default occurs. There exist a possibility for a risky bond buyer to reduce his credit risk. This can be achieved by buying a protection from a protection seller. The bondholder would pay a fixed premium up to maturity or default, which one comes first. In exchange if default comes before maturity the protection buyer will receive the difference between the initially set face value of the bond and RR. This difference is called 'loss given default'. This contract represents CDS. The counterparty that pays a fixed premium is called CDS buyer or protection buyer and the opposite party is the CDS seller. Note that in contrast to corporate bond CDS contract does not assume that buyer of the CDS is a holder of the underlying bond. Note that underlying to the swap can be any asset. It is called the reference asset or reference entity. Thus CDS is a credit instrument that separates credit risk from corresponding underlying entity. Thus the formal type of the CDS can be described as follows. The buyer of the credit swap pays fixed rate or coupon until maturity or default if it occurs sooner than maturity. In case of default protection buyer delivers cash or default asset in exchange of the face value of the defaulted debt. These are known as cash or physical settlements correspondingly.Download Info

Yes I live in a single wide, to get up here it takes a four wheel drive.
Got a mean xxx dog whose name is Sickem Sam.
I got a motor hangin from a tree, a satellite dish and a trampoline. A sixty-eight red chevelle, been known to raise a little hell. All night, bar fightin some of you all say I ain't liven right Eat butterbeans and fried spam. But I ain't what you all say I am.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsty.com/colt-ford-no-trash-in-my-trailer-lyrics.html ]
Cause there ain't no trash in my trailer oh no. Though you might find an empty can of beer.
No their ain't been no trash in my trailer oh no. Since the day I threw you out of here.I burn my trash in a drum. Sometimes I shoot my gun. I'm mud boggin, camouflagen, a ball game is what I'm watchen. I work hard, mow the yard, fish, hunt, knuckle scar, change oil, plow the soil, love a boat country boy.
I wear a suit to church and stuff and Daddy's the one that made me tuff. He told me son, don't be ashamed of who you are and our family name. I'm makin it proud, sayin it loud, doin my thing a country crowd.
I tell you the truth and don't give a damn. But I ain't what you all say I am.

Many young Saudis admire the youthful protesters of Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and Bahrain. But they don't seek to imitate their tactic of massive street protests. One reason why is that they still hope—despite the lack of available evidence—that the Saudi royal family will voluntarily begin to share power with the Saudi people. Presumably then, the government can rest easy? Not necessarily.

People can already use Flash on several mobile devices. If there is one platform that is ready for the rest of the world, as you say it, it's Nokia. You can already run Flash, Java, and have an open platform with Nokia that is more open than Android. There's no jailbreaking your device with Nokia - you have to jailbreak with Android. But no matter what people will say against Apple, they understand their consumers best and they know how to sell handsets to regular joes. I haven't seen that from any of the makers of Android phones thus far. Again, stop thinking like a geek with your own corner of the world covered by Android. Think of real users who don't develop for the Web for a living. They will decide what takes off, not geeks hooked on Google PR.
@grelmar I agreed with you until you pulled out the usual Android marketing pitch which is basically a bunch of non arguments, myths that keep being propagated.

Per ESPN
"It's official," McGrady told ESPN.com in a text message Tuesday afternoon. The 33-year-old McGrady will be eligible to play for the Spurs during the playoffs because he was not on an NBA roster as of March 1. He said he will not play in San Antonio's regular-season finale on Wednesday night against Minnesota. McGrady last played in the NBA during the 2011-12 season, averaging 5.3 points and 16.1 minutes per game for Atlanta.He played in the Chinese Basketball Association this year, averaging 25 points, 7.2 rebounds and 5.1 assists. Asked how much he can contribute to the Spurs, who recently released Stephen Jackson, McGrady was humble. "I guess that's the unknown," he said. Despite his terrific individual career, McGrady, who led the NBA in scoring in 2003 and 2004, is widely known for never having won an NBA playoff series. With the second-seeded Spurs set to face either the Houston Rockets or Los Angeles Lakers in the first round, this may be his best chance. "Whatever happens, I'm just glad to be a part of this environment," McGrady said via text. "[It's] something I never experienced while being my best!"

More particularly, the present invention relates to an interactive toy animal securely mountable to the upper leg of a person and capable of safely receiving and holding a child. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Conventional toy stuffed animals have long been a source of entertainment for children of all ages. However, the interaction between a child and the toy animal is primarily solitary in nature. Adult interaction and participation with the childseldom takes place with the child during this time. Instead, adults, and parents in particular, are generally forced to resort to other toys and recreational activities in order to obtain a more involved quality interaction with the child. An example of one stuffed animal designed to promote such interaction is U.S. Pat. No. 5,000,712 to Curry, Sr., herein incorporated by reference in its entirety, disclosing a riding toy. While Curry, Sr. discloses a riding toy seeking toimprove the interaction between an adult and a child, it lacks features that create a safe playing environment. As a result, there is a need for a toy animal that is aesthetically and functionally designed to appeal to, and entertain, a child while at the same time permitting safe and secure interpersonal interaction between the child and an adult. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention solves many of the interaction deficiencies with conventional animal toys. The present invention provides a toy animal that is mountable on the upper leg or knee of an adult such that a child may sit or ride on the animal. The motion of the animal is substantially facilitated by the generally horizontal and vertical motion of the adult's leg. The present invention generally includes an animal body, a seating portion, and a plurality of securing straps. A myriad of animal bodies can be used, with one preferred embodiment being a small horse or pony. The animal body includes aninternal support structure limiting movement of a head portion such that a child consistently has something to grasp or hold onto. In addition, the animal body has a preformed body portion designed to accommodate an adult's upper leg and/or knee. Thepreformed body portion includes a grasping surface to interface with the adult's knee and upper leg such that the body is positioned properly on the adult. The seating portion is designed to comfortably receive the child. The securing straps are of alength and functional design that enables a person to wrap a measurable portion of the strap around the upper leg and/or knee of the person to secure the animal. The level of securement is dependent upon the level of desired motion to be applied to thesecured animal through motion of the person's leg. The interactive toy animal can also include various interactive sounds such as animal sounds, voice recordings, nature sounds, and the like. The sounds are generally activated by pulling, pushing,pressing, and the like, on a part or portion of the animal body. Additionally, various body parts of the animal can be configured to move based on a triggering event. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS FIG. 1 is a side view of an embodiment of a stuffed animal of the present invention; FIG. 2 is a sectional, side view of a body of the present invention; FIG. 3 is a perspective of an internal support structure of the present invention; FIG. 4 is an end view of the internal support structure of FIG. 3; FIG. 5 is an end view of the body of the present invention; FIG. 6 is a side view of the stuffed animal of the present invention strapped to an adult's leg; and FIG. 7 is a side view of the stuffed animal of the present invention strapped to an adult's leg with a child seated on the stuffed animal. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS As depicted in FIG. 1, an interactive toy animal 100 of the present invention generally includes a body 102, a seating portion 104, and at least one securing strap 106. Preferably, seating portion 104 and the at least one securing strap 106 arestitched to body 102 though other appropriate attachment devices and means could be used as well. The securing strap 106 can be of varying lengths and materials depending on the functional and aesthetic requirements of the manufacturer and/or user. Securing strap 106 can be configured as a single securing member sufficiently long enough to wrap from one side of body 102, around a user's leg and to the other side of body 102. Alternatively, securing strap 106 can comprise a pair of securingmembers, one on each side of body 102 designed to attach underneath a user's leg. In one embodiment, securing strap 106 is designed to substantially wrap around the upper leg and/or knee. The securing strap 106 is then secured to prevent undesirablemovement of the stuffed animal 100. The strap is preferably secured using Velcro.RTM., though other fastener technologies such as hooks, buttons, snaps and other fastening technologies know to those skilled in the art could be utilized. Preferably, body 102 has an exterior likeness resembling an animal or character that is visually appealing to young children. In one embodiment, body 102 resembles a horse including a harness 108, reins 110, legs 112, tail 114, mane 116, andfacial features including eyes 118, ears 120 and nose 122. In such an embodiment, seating portion 104 takes the form of a saddle 124. Generally, body 102 and seating portion 104 are made of a plush exterior fabric 126. The appearance of fabric 126 canbe altered from one embodiment to the next to provide visually appealing colors or to create differing horse breeds, for example, a palomino, a pinto or even a fictional character such as a unicorn. In addition to external features, body 102 can includea manual or automatic audio device 125 for providing realistic animal noises, such as galloping or neighing in the preferred embodiment, or other character, nature or recorded/recordable sounds. Audio device 125 can be selectively placed in or on thebody 102. Examples of suitable locations include in or on the ear, in or on the reigns, in or on the tail and in or on the seat. Typically, audio device 125 incorporates a manual switch arrangement to activate playback of a prerecorded audio trackstored on a microchip. Audio device 125 may take the form of other alternative configurations, for example those shown in U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,249,338; 5,679,049; 5,975,982 and 6,196,893, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference in theirentirety. Audio device 125 will typically include an external visual indicator directing where a child should push, press or pull to activate playback of the prerecorded audio track. In other embodiments, audio device 125 may be activated simply bysitting on or moving the stuffed animal 100. In alternative embodiments, body 102 can include various pins, hinges, power-based driving mechanisms, and other known devices and techniques that facilitate movement of components such as legs 112, tail 114,mane 116, and the various facial features. Depicted in FIG. 2 is a sectional view of animal body 102. In a basic form, animal body 102 comprises a body section 127 and a head section 128. Body section 127 and head section 128 are generally formed by stitching fabric 126 into the desiredshape and appearance. Body section 127 has a top portion 129, a bottom portion 130, a front end 131, a rear end 132 and a pair of visually similar sides 133a, 133b, as shown in FIG. 5. Within animal body 102 is an internal support structure 134, moreclearly depicted in FIGS. 3 and 4, generally comprising a body support member 136 and a neck support member 138. Body support member 136 can comprise a length of relatively rigid material 140 formed to have a substantially half-circle cross-section 142. The relatively rigid material 140 can be constructed of cardboard, plastic and other similar materials. Cross-section 142 is generally consistent from a rear end 144 to a front end 146 of rigid material 140. Body support member 136 also includes a topsurface 148 and a bottom surface 150. Depending on its length, securing strap 106 may be fixedly attached to body support member 136. Neck support member 138 can comprise a length of relatively rigid material 152 formed in a cylindrical or tubularorientation though other suitable shapes and designs are envisioned as well. In a preferred embodiment, body support member 136 and neck support member 138 are comprised of the same relatively rigid material. Generally, neck support member 138 isoperably attached to the top surface 148 of body support member 136 proximate the front end 146. Attachment of neck support member 138 to body support member 136 can be accomplished with suitable attachment means such as adhesive, pressure fitting,fastening devices and other know methods such that neck support member 138 projects into or proximate head section 128. In constructing animal body 102, a padding material 154 is generally stuffed into body section 127 and head section 128 to give toyanimal 100 a soft, cushiony feel while at the same time providing a protective layer over body support member 136. Bottom surface 150 can be covered by fabric 126 to make bottom portion 132. As depicted in FIG. 5, the bottom portion 130 of animal body 102 defines a preformed engagement surface or portion 156 generally conforming to cross-section 142 of body support member 136. The engagement surface 156 is depicted as having an openend proximate the rear end 144 of body support member 136 while fabric 126 defines a closure or abutment surface or portion 158 positioned generally perpendicular or extending downward from the engagement surface 156 near the front end 146 of bodysupport member 136. Generally, the interactive toy animal 100 of the present invention is used as depicted in FIGS. 6 and 7. Generally, a seated adult or larger child orients the interactive toy animal 100 such that head section 128 is facing away from the adult. The adult places the preformed engagement surface 156 over the top of his or her leg. The adult slides the stuffed animal 100 toward him or her such that the closure surface 158 comes into abuttable contact with the adult's knee. The perpendicularorientation of closure surface 158 to engagement surface 156 prevents stuffed animal 100 from sliding closer to the adult. Once the stuffed animal 100 is properly positioned, a pair of securing straps 106a, 106b are securely wrapped around the leg andfastened. The combination of the preformed engagement surface 156, closure surface 158 and securing straps 106a, 106b insure a tight, secure fit between the bottom portion 131 and the adults leg resulting in increased safety to small children seated onstuffed animal 100. If securing straps 106a, 106b have been attached to body support member 136, securely wrapping the securing straps 106a, 106b leads to a further constriction of preformed engagement surface 156 around the leg. The presence ofclosure surface 158 prevents toy animal 100 from being placed backwards on an adult's leg and increases the degree of shroudable securement of the engagement surface 156 around the leg. The shrouding effect of the shape and design of the engagementsurface 156 stabilizes the toy animal 100 during lateral movements as well. The combination of engagement surface 156 and closure surface 158 eliminate the possibility that a child could tumble backwards from toy animal 100 as the adult's body is alwayslocated at the rear of toy animal 100. It will be obvious to one skilled in the art that body 102 could also be constructed such that closure surface 158 is proximate rear end 144 allowing front end 146 to be open. Such an alternative design wouldpermit the reversal of toy animal 100 on an adult's leg such that the head section 128 faces toward the adult. Regardless, the closure surface 158 is positioned accordingly to increase safety through improved security of the toy animal 100 to theadult's leg. Once a child is seated on seating portion 104, the adult begins to move his or her leg in a preferably up and down direction to simulate the type of movement one might experience when riding a horse or similar animal. As this movement may bequick and sudden, it is necessary to provide the child with something they can grasp onto such that they can remain within the seating portion 104. The internal support structure 134, especially neck support member 138, prevents the child from fallingfrom the toy animal 100 by limiting movement of the head section 128. Through the use of a relatively rigid material in the construction of the body support member 136 and the neck support member 138, forward, backward and lateral movements of the headsection 128 are limited such that the child can consistently grasp, hold or lien on the head section 128 without fear of falling forward or to the sides due to sudden movement of the head section 128. The present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit of the essential attributes thereof; therefore, the illustrated embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive. * * * * * Other References

BTW, I have not actually used google voice...it looks too complicated for me! I use a simple dumb cell phone.
Good points. I really just want her to demonstrate she can be responsible with such a device (keep charged, not lose, not be a distraction in school, etc) before I jump into a cell contract/purchase. With google voice, I can monitor call traffic/messages/contacts giving me a tad more control over cellular options. I believe I can even record the calls.
I plan on removing email and internet initially. Buying a reloadable visa card to put her allowance on. She can use that to purchase games/kids apps in the market. Not a whole lot I can control on market content (unless someone knows a way to limit access to kids stuff??) so Ill just have to pick the thing up and look it over every so often.
Opened the box today and started the google voice setup. Using Groove IP for a dialer/control. Works pretty well. Call quality is meh and theres a bit of a lag on dialer but certainly passable for this endeavor.

An economical skid lid with good fit and ventilation.
Source: bought it new
Price Paid: $64.99
An economical skid lid with good fit and ventilation.
- Well ventilated
- Inexpensive
- Rated for biking and skating too
- Chin strap touches my throat
After watching me ski and reviewing our life insurance coverage my wife decided that I should wear a ski helmet. I dutifully forked out the green for a lid to protect her investment and have worn it whenever I ski.
The biggest issue I had with helmets is ventilation, they might have vents on the shell but they never reach the lining; they are just for show. This one ventilates nicely and has a wicking liner to keep my melon dry.
The fit is decent, I got the L/XL and there's room inside for a thin cap. The ear flaps keep my ears warm and the entire lining is soft and not scratchy. My one issue is that the chin strap sits too close to my throat, something that, after a few hours, gets old.
The matte finish sets off my TS sticker nicely and didn't come with any trashy graphics; a clean slate for me to add my own decals to.
The tag inside says it also meets the standards for mountain biking and skating so that is a big plus since my bike helmet is trashed (long story). I plan on taking the warm liner out and wearing it when I ride this summer.
After a less than five ski trips the lid still does its job. I wear the chinstrap loose and it doesn't bother my throat much anymore and it has protected me well enough from my bad skiing (a couple yard sales) to account for its price.
Another helmet for another hobby.
Where to Buy
Retailers' Descriptions
Here's what other sites are saying:
You blew the landing coming off a rail and knocked your head a bit on the snow. Nothing crazy, but basic helmet rules say that once your head-protector takes a hit, it's toast. Lock the Bern Macon Hard Hat down on your dome and keep your skull safe bump after bump. What's more, the Macon comes with a removable liner, so you can pull out the liner and wear the Macon this summer in the skatepark. The Macon starts with Bern's Hard Hat ABS hard shell. Bern then adds a liner of soft, moisture-wicking Brock foam. It's designed for multiple lower-impact injuries, making it ideal for mastering new moves in the park. Bern's Signature Shape allows the Macon to be up to 35% lower profile than standard snow helmets, and the ergonomic fit means it fits around your head instead of perching on top of it. Of course, you also get the inimitable style that this original visored helmet dishes up without looking like it's trying too hard. The Macon isn't just about style, though. A micro-adjust ratchet at the back lets you dial in the perfect fit on the fly. All told, the Macon weighs 18. 2 ounces (or less, depending on size) and fits like a glove, so you won't be thinking about your helmet while you shred.
- Backcountry.com
While the Bern Macon Helmet for men gives a nod to skate styling, this winterized snowboarding helmet is all about safety with thermal comfort. It's made with an ABS shell that's thicker than most snowboard helmet designs. The larger ABS shell is specifically designed to accommodate an open cell Brock foam. Brock foam allows more air circulation than conventional snowboard helmets, so it helps keep you cool and dry. There is one trade off: The Macon does not meet the same action sports head protection standard as cycling or kayaking helmets made by Bern. This half-shell helmet will protect against low-force impacts and possibly prevent concussions when hard foam helmets cannot. The Macon features seven vents that passively pull cool air through the front of the helmet as warm air is pulled out the back vents. The ear pads are removable, so you can enjoy extra venting comfort while riding across sun drenched snowfields in the early summer.
- Altrec Outdoors
Bern developed the Macon helmet with top skaters and underground rippers. They wanted a core, high quality, subtle helmet that performed as both a skate and snow model. EPS hard foam meets ASTM F 2040 and EN 1077B standards for snow and ski, CPSC and EN 1078 standards for bike and skate. Crossover shreds like Alex Andrews, TJ Schneider and Luke Tanaka choose the Macon for street and snow.No summer linerABS shell and EPS hard foamSinkFit: Low Profile FitAll-Season: Snow - Bike - SkateBlack Cordova Liner.

If you have questions about enrollment dates, your enrollment appointment, or meeting with an Academic Advisor see Frequently Asked Questions - Registering for Classes.
STEP 1. Review Your Degree Requirements
Review your Psychology or Neuroscience Degree Requirements and sequence map for your degree program. The requirements described in the Bulletin of the College of Arts & Sciences will remain the same throughout your time in school, so you might want to print and save them in a folder you can refer to before you register for classes each semester.
Run your Academic Advisement Report (AAR) each semester!
Your AAR shows how your courses and transfer and test credits apply toward the academic requirements of your major. It also shows which requirements you must still fulfill.
If you're planning to meet with your Academic Advisor, download a printer-friendly version of your AAR to your computer and take it with you to make it easier to discuss your progress and your plans for future semesters.
How to Run & Read Your Academic Advisement Report (AAR)
- Log into OneStart.
- The "Student Center" area should be visible; if it is not, select the Services tab, and choose the Student Self-Service section on the left. Scroll down the page until you see Go to Student Center and select it.

This week has been all about the mythic, the intuitive, the Shadow Self. It's been a week of abundance. Books, websites, articles, poems—I've stumbled across a wealth of interesting material. Here is just a sample of them on this Great Stuff for Writers Saturday:
The Passion of Isis and Osiris by Jean Houston. The mythology surrounding these central deities of ancient Egypt is rich and fascinating. The story of Osiris's murder and dismemberment, his wife's courageous reassembling of his body, and his exile to the Underworld is psychologically powerful and profoundly meaningful. If you love myth, want to explore it deeply, and believe mythology can be applied to our own everyday lives, this book by the author of A Mythic Life: Learning to Live Our Greater Story will charm, intrigue, and enlighten you.
Shadow Dance : Liberating the Power and Creativity of Your Dark Side by David Richo. "The challenge is accepting ourselves all the way to the bottom," writes Richo in this interesting little book. This includes the selfishness, jealousy, pettiness, malice—all those qualities we dislike about ourselves. As Richo points out, it also includes creative potential we disown from fear of our own power.
Richo shows how to take ownership of our dark side—a major step toward living authentically. Along with some clear discussion of the Jungian notion of the Shadow, he offers practical ways to find it in our personal relationships, the work place, spirituality, and other aspects of our lives. And he provides a wealth of exercises for understanding the Shadow and making it work for us.
Archetypes for Writers by Jennifer Van Bergen is a sound introduction to the notion of archetypes and to working with the subconscious in our writing. There is nothing particularly new in Van Bergen's discussion of archetypes, but she does offer some unique exercises to allow the material in the subconscious to "gather itself together, emerge, and become part of a work of art."
The Shadow Self on the Talent Development Resources website. This webpage is a remarkable collection of quotes and short passages about creativity, art, the subconscious, and the "dark side" of consciousness from writers, actors, and others, along with links to a variety of interesting longer works.
Your Intuitive Intelligence by Dr. Jill Ammon Wexler, also on Talent Development Resources, is a brief introduction to using intuition in art and business. It has some interesting (if rather superficial) discussion about the neuroscience of intuition and the mind-brain connection, as well as some useful suggestions for tapping intuition.

TEAMS: Detroit Lions, Baltimore Ravens
The Lions first team looked much better this week in a 27-12 preseason win over the Ravens Friday night from Baltimore.
Matthew Stafford looked very much like the dominant QB he was last season going 12 for 17 for 184 yards and two touchdowns. This included an impressive 18 yard connection with Calvin Johnson for the score. Less than five minutes later Stafford continued to look sharp through the air this time hooking up with Titus Young for a 24 yard touchdown.
However Detroit got themselves into penalty trouble early looking very much like the undisciplined team they were last season. As a whole the Lions combined for 11 penalties for 98 yards, a number they'll definitely have to remedy before the start of the regular season. Unlike last season though Detroit's defense was able to somewhat recover from their sloppy play holding the Ravens to a field goal or forcing them to punt the ball away.

For starters, the pressure switch will not shut down your pump should the well draw-down exceed your well depth. That is not what it is designed to do. Hence the name "pressure switch." It will shut the pump off when a certain pressure has been pumped into a tank. If there is no water coming into the pump there is no pressure building up and you run the very serious risk of running your pump dry for an extended period of time resulting in damage to the pump.
The pressure tank will activate the switch if properly adjusted according to the capacity of your pump. This will prevent damage should you close the water flow, ie stop using the water hose. As for shutting the pump down if the water level draw-down exceeds the depth of your well, I have no easy answer for you.
