Immortal Bird: A Reading
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; READING 12:00 p.m.
Immortal Bird: A Family Memoir (2013), Doron Weber's widely acclaimed family memoir, is the story of Damon Weber's remarkable life. It is also the story of his father's heroic struggle with the health care system that ultimately failed his son. At once a triumphant coming-of-age tale, a moving portrait of friendship between father and son, and a searing account of the perils of modern medicine, Immortal Bird has started a national conversation about the proper treatment of patients and the importance of improving communication between doctors and those they treat.
Born on an Israeli kibbutz, Weber studied literature at Brown University, the Sorbonne, and Oxford, where he was a Rhodes Scholar. Currently he runs the program for the Public Understanding of Science and Technology at the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. Weber creates seminal programs to promote the sciences and the arts, including the Foundation's effort to achieve universal access to knowledge through digital Information.
Doron Weber's presentation is part of the Athenaeum's semester long series on bioethics, as it applies to research, medical practice, and the health care system.
CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: Don't Have Kids
CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: I'm On a Boat
CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: Fish are Catching On to Fishing
CMC Forum Idea Night at the Ath: Sex DRIVE
For the 4th year in a row, the Forum is proud to present what is quickly becoming a CMC tradition: Idea Night at the Athenaeum.
Whether its an idea formed in the shower, during an all-nighter, or scribbled on a chalk board full of equations, as a CMC student, you have an interesting solution to some problem. Unfortunately, many of your ideas are submitted to professors, graded, and never get to live out their glory days. Idea Night is about reclaiming the best of those ideas and sharing them with your community... competitively, with wine.
Some questions to consider answering are: What would you change about CMC? What would you change about the effect of gravity on jowls? Is there any particular reason that seagulls should exist? If a snake slithers in the Mojave desert, does anyone hear it? Why was Taft the coolest President in American history? How will 3D printing revolutionize college life? How would you cure Malaria? And maybe most interesting - where does Professor Massoud get his charm?
Students are invited to submit original ideas from academic work, side projects, or life. Participants and topics will be chosen by a committee of students. On the evening of April 1, selected speakers will be given a projector, a podium and 10 minutes to make their case to an audience of peers. Is everyone making their coffee wrong? Is your Spanish slam poetry crazy good? This is your opportunity to share your original research, your business ideas, and your political rants with the rest of us.
At the end of the event, the audience will be asked to vote for the best speech. Presentation skills will be taken just as seriously as topic interest. The audience favorite will be awarded an awesome (not yet-announced) prize. So bring your A game.
Stay tuned to CMCForum.com for updates, previews, and more. A full roster of participants and topics will be announced shortly.
A Challenge for the Millennium: The Million Dollar Problems in Mathematics
At the Second International Congress of Mathematicians in 1900 in Paris, David Hilbert, the reigning mathematician of the day presented a list of 23 unsolved problems, which strongly influenced and shaped the development of mathematics and related disciplines throughout the 20th century. To mark the centennial of Hilbert's monumental lecture, the Clay Mathematical Institute announced a list of 7 Millennium Prize Problems with an award of one million dollars for a solution of each of them. The official announcement was made at an important mathematical meeting in Paris in 2000 by John Tate and Michael Atiyah, two of the greatest mathematicians of the 20th century. These problems have already played a crucial role in the development of mathematics in the early 21st century and are expected to be most fundamental in the future as well. In this presentation we will discuss some of these problems and explain how they are related to our own work and collaboration with our students.
Sam Nelson, Associate Professor of Mathematics, has been at CMC since 2008. He completed his Ph.D. at Louisiana State University and then spent several years as a visiting assistant professor at several colleges, including Whittier College, UC Riverside, and Pomona College.

Roberts Fellow, attended Harvey Mudd College, graduating with a degree in mathematics, and then went on to earn a Ph.D. from Cornell. He held a postdoctoral position at Stanford and was on the faculty at Duke prior to arriving at CMC in 2009. His research focus is probability with an emphasis on the design and analysis of perfect sampling algorithms.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks (2010), Rebecca Skloot's debut book, took more than a decade to research and write, and instantly hit The New York Times best-seller list, where it has remained for more than three years since its publication. The book tells the story of Henrietta Lacks, an African-American woman who was diagnosed with terminal cervical cancer and treated at Johns Hopkins University, where a doctor named George Gey snipped cells from her cervix without telling her. Gey discovered that Lacks' cells could not only be kept alive, but would also grow indefinitely.
For half a century, biotechnology companies and scientists have used the astonishingly hardy cancer cells that killed Lacks to develop countless medical breakthroughs and establish a multimillion-dollar industry selling her cell line, known as HeLa. The HeLa cell line, the first human cells to both grow outside the body and to be commercialized, have been used in more than 60,000 experiments and have played a part in some of the world's most important medical advances, from the polio vaccine to in vitro fertilization.
Though her cells were have generated millions of dollars in profit for the medical researchers who patented her tissue, Lacks' family didn't know the cell cultures existed until they were approached by scientists to donate their own cell samples for gene research. Shortly before the book came out, Skloot created The Henrietta Lacks Foundation to provide financial assistance to needy individuals who have made important contributions to scientific research without their knowledge or consent.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks was chosen as a best book of 2010 by more than 60 media outlets, has won numerous awards, including the 2010 Chicago Tribune Heartland Prize for Nonfiction and the National Academies of Science Best Book Award, and will soon be made into an HBO movie by Oprah Winfrey.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks raises sometimes uncomfortable questions with no clear-cut answers about whether people should be remunerated for their physical, genetic contributions to research and about the role of profit in science and is a story inextricably connected to the dark history of experimentation on African Americans, the birth of bioethics, and the legal battles over whether we control the stuff we're made of.
After attending Portland Community College and becoming a Veterinary Technician, she received a B.S. in biological sciences from Colorado State University, and an MFA in creative nonfiction from the University of Pittsburgh. She is a former vice president of the National Book Critics Circle She has taught creative writing and science journalism at the University of Pittsburgh, New York University, and the University of Memphis. She is a member of the American Society of Journalists and Authors, the National Association of Science Writers, and the National Book Critics Circle.
Skloot's award winning science writing has appeared in The New York Times Magazine; O, The Oprah Magazine; Discover; and many other publications. She specializes in narrative science writing and has explored a wide range of topics from goldfish surgery to food politics. She has worked as a correspondent for WNYC's Radiolab and PBS's NovaScienceNOW. In 2011, she co-edited The Best American Science Writing with her father, Floyd Skloot.

The End of Power
LECTURE 6:45 p.m. PARENTS DINING ROOM
We know that power is shifting: from West to East and North to South, from presidential palaces to public squares, from once formidable corporate behemoths to nimble startups and, slowly but surely, from men to women. But power is not merely shifting and dispersing. It is also decaying. Those in power today are more constrained in what they can do with it and more at risk of losing it than ever before.
In The End of Power: From Boardrooms to Battlefields and Churches to States: Why Being in Charge Isn't What It Used to Be (2013), award-winning columnist and former Foreign Policy Editor Moisés Naím illuminates the struggle between once-dominant mega players and the new micro powers challenging them in every field of human endeavor. Drawing on provocative, original research, Naím shows how the antiestablishment drive of micro power scan topple tyrants, dislodge monopolies, and open remarkable new opportunities, but it can also lead to chaos and paralysis. Naím deftly covers the seismic changes underway in business, religion, education, within families, and in all matters of war and peace. Accessible and captivating, Naím offers a revolutionary look at the inevitable end of power — and how it will change your world.
Moisés Naím is a scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and an internationally syndicated columnist. For over a decade he was the editor-in-chief of Foreign Policy magazine and under his leadership, the magazine was re-launched, won the National Magazine award for General Excellence three times and became one of the world's most influential publications in international affairs. Naím also served as Venezuela's Minister of Industry and Trade and as executive director of the World Bank. Naím holds a Ph.D.from MIT and lives in Washington, DC.
Moisés Naim's visit to campus is sponsored by the Keck Center for International and Strategic studies at Claremont McKenna College.
The Transmission of Trauma across Generations: Writing a Memoir about the Armenian Genocide and Growing up in Suburbia
LUNCHEON 11:30 a.m.; LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
Adolf Hitler is purported to have said, "Who today remembers the extermination of the Armenians?" referring to the estimated 1.5 million Armenians driven from their homes by the Turkish Government between April and October 1915. The Armenians encountered government death squads and brutal conditions on their grim march to the Syrian Desert, which claimed countless lives.
Growing up in the affluent suburbs of New Jersey in the 1960s, Professor Peter Balakian, an Armenian-American, was unaware of the calamity that had befallen many of his relatives. The silence surrounding the Armenian genocide was only broken much later in his life, as elements of the tragedy slowly surfaced. Balakian's search to uncover the hidden voices of his heritage has helped define his impressive and influential career.
Professor Balakian is currently Donald M. and Constance H. Rebar Professor of the Humanities in the department of English, Director of Creative Writing, and the first Director of Colgate's Center for Ethics and World Societies.
Balakian has authored five books of poems, most recently June-tree: New and Selected Poems 1974-2000 (2004). His work has appeared widely in American magazines and journals.
His memoir Black Dog of Fate (2009), won the PEN/Albrand Prize for memoir and was recognized as a New York Times Notable Book. A national best seller, The Burning Tigris: The Armenian Genocide and America's Response (2003), was awarded the 2005 Raphael Lemkin Prize (best book in English on the subject of genocide and human rights).
He is co-founder and co-editor with the poet Bruce Smith of the poetry magazine Graham House Review. Balakian's prizes and awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship; National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship; Emily Clark Balch Prize for poetry, Virginia Quarterly Review 2007 and the Movses Khorenatsi Medal from the Republic of Armenia 2007.

These reviews and publications provide key results that differentiate products based on detailed analysis of DxOMark data compiled for all tested cameras, lenses and mobiles.
Expanding its line-up of DX format DSLRs featuring an APS-C sensor, Nikon today unveils the new D5500 DSLR. The first Nikon DX format DSLR to boast a touch screen LCD, the new Nikon D5500 also features a 24.2Mp resolution sensor with its Optical Low Pass Filter removed. Let's take a look at the rest of the specs to see what else is on offer.
With a strap line of 'Fill your frame, not your bag' Nikon has launched a small and portable F-mount 300mm telephoto lens for sports and wildlife photographers. Boasting a new 'Phase Fresnel' element, Nikon claim they've effectively reduced the bulk and weight of this latest telephoto prime without degrading image quality. Let's take a closer look.
Nikon has announced an updated version of their DX format telephoto zoom with Vibration Reduction (VR). Perfect for Nikon APS-C shooters looking for a second lens to get closer to the action, the new AF-S 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II offers an equivalent 82.5-300mm focal length and Silent Wave Motor for quick and quiet autofocus.
Panasonic's latest iteration of the LX series premium compact eschews the usual 1/1.7-inch sensor for the larger Micro-Four-Thirds type found the firm's mirrorless models. It also has a Leica 24-75mm f1.7-2.8 zoom, a traditional rangefinder style top plate with EVF, a hot shoe, and manual mechanical controls. Read on to see how well this intriguing new model performs.
We've tested the image quality of the 24-Mpix Sony A6000 with over 23 zoom and prime lenses. Read on to find out which of those models perform best with Sony's current top-of-the-line APS-C mirrorless model.
A year on from launching the world's first full frame hybrid camera Sony have unveiled its successor, the a7 II. Claiming another world first the new Sony a7 II is the first full frame interchangeable lens camera to feature a 5-axis image stabilisation system. But what else is new? We trawl through the new Sony a7 II spec sheet to find out.
The new Panasonic GM5 sits alongside the existing GM1 as Panasonic's ultra compact hybrid camera and features a 16Mp FourThirds CMOS sensor. The introduction of the GM5 offers consumers a super small hybrid with the addition of a built-in electronic viewfinder (EVF) and hotshoe, which were absent on the GM1. With price tags of $898 for the GM5 and $747 for the GM1, is the latest model worth the extra money? Let's take a look at the sensor scores to find out.
Google has launched the 6th generation of its Nexus smart phone featuring a massive 6-inch AMOLED display and whopping 2560x1440-pixel QHD resolution.
Powered by a quadcore 2.7GHz processor and Snapdragon 805 chipset, the Nexus 6 runs the latest version of Google's Android operating system (5.0 Lollipop), and features a 13Mp rear-facing camera (2Mp front) with dual LED flash, a f/2 lens, autofocus, image stabilization and a HDR+ mode. We put the Nexus 6 through the DxOMark Mobile image quality tests to see how it performs.
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a telephoto zoom designed for use on Canon DSLRs featuring an APS-C sensor. A versatile 2nd lens to complement the standard 18-55mm kit lens, it offers an equivalent 80-400mm focal length to get closer to the action and 3.5 stops of image stabilisation. With its DxOMark scores in, lets look at its strengths and weakness and consider some of the other options available.
Utilising a 16Mp APS-C sensor, the Leica T is the first mirrorless hybrid option from the renowned German camera manufacturer. With a price tag of $1850 (body only), and lenses costing the same or more, it's a serious investment for any photographer. So how does image quality on the Leica T stack up against the competition? Let's analyze the DxOMark sensor scores to find out.
Canon has announced an updated version of their compact super telephoto zoom lens. The new EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L II USM boasts a number of upgrades over its predecessor, which Canon claim improve both the image quality and handling of the new version. We preview what this latest lens has to offer and see how the original version performed in the DxOMark Lens tests.
With a slightly slower f6.3 maximum aperture at the long-end this new 18-300mm model is lighter and smaller than it's pricier sibling. But, just how well does this reimagined model perform in the lab? Read on to find out.
Sony introduced this ultra wide-angle full-frame zoom for the A7 series cameras at this year's Photokina. With a constant f4 maximum aperture this new stabilized model looks compelling on paper, but just how well does this it perform in the lab? Read on to find out.
The K-S1 is Pentax's latest entry-level DSLR featuring a 20.1Mp APS-C CMOS sensor and Anti Aliasing filter simulator. Targeted towards consumers taking their first plunge into DSLR photography, the K-S1 boasts a compact design, flashing LED lights, illuminated rear controls and choice of 12 colours. With the sensor scores in, lets see how the K-S1 compares to the competition.
Equipped with a new 20-Mpix APS-C CMOS sensor and dual-pixel CMOS AF system, Canon's latest DSLR is the long-overdue update to the flagship EOS 7D model. Read on to find out how the new 20-Mpix sensor performs.
Amazon has dived head-first into the competitive Smartphone market with its first device — the Amazon Firephone. Offering a 4.7in 1280x720 resolution screen, 2GB RAM Snapdragon 800 chipset, and Amazon's own Fire OS, the Firephone is available in either 32 or 64GB memory options. Featuring a 13Mp front camera with a 2.2Mp version at the rear, LED flash, and 1080p/30fps video, how well will its image quality compare with the well-established competition? We'll fill you in with the DxOMark Mobile scores and results.
In this second installment of lens recommendations for the Nikon D810, we've been analyzing the best performing models for landscape and wildlife photography. Admittedly when it comes to fast-paced photography there are better choices in Nikon's range but there's always a case for high-resolution imagery but the Nikon D810 also serves to highlight the best performing models, and particularly in the longer focal lengths where it's more common (and often more practical) to use cameras with lower pixel densities.
Although not the first large sensor compact from the firm, the GX 7 is the first Canon compact to debut a 1-inch type sensor to rival the Sony Cyber-shot RX100 series. This 20Mpix BSI CMOS unit is paired with a fast 24-100mm f1.8-2.8 stabilized zoom and features a Digic 6 level processor, and large 3-inch tilting LCD. Read on to find out how the new 20Mpix sensor performs.
One of the hottest launches from this year's Photokina trade show, the Nikon D750, has grabbed the attention of serious amateurs and pros alike. Boasting a newly developed 24.3Mp sensor, expanded ISO sensitivity range and a host of features from their pro DSLRs it looks a mouth-watering prospect. Lets take a look at the D750 sensor scores and results to see how it stacks up against the full frame competition.
Nikon's mid-term refresh of the firm's hugely popular D800 and D800E models resulted in a single model, the D810. Like the D800E it aims to maximize the resolution of the full-frame 36-Mpix CMOS sensor and omits a modified AA filter completely. We've analyzed the image quality of over 100 different lenses mounted to the new camera to discover how well this new model performs.

Great news, animal advocates! Yesterday U.S. Reps. Tom Marino (R-PA), Jim McGovern (D-MA), John Campbell (R-CA) and Jim Moran (D-VA) reintroduced the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, an ASPCA-supported bill to strengthen our federal laws against animal fighting.
While it's already a federal crime to actively participate in an animal fight, it's the spectators who drive the enterprise and make it profitable. This bill would make it a federal offense to attend an organized animal fight and impose additional penalties for bringing a child to a fight.
The Senate passed this bill in the previous Congress, but even with over half the House in support, Congress was unable to pass a final bill. Reintroducing this bill in the early days of the new Congress gives us an opportunity to build on the momentum from the last Congress and help finally close the federal loophole for animal fighting spectators.
Ask your own House representative to support this important humane legislation! Visit the ASPCA Advocacy Center right now to quickly email your U.S. rep in Washington and urge him or her to cosponsor the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
It is out responsibilities as humans with souls to be the voice for these dogs!
Just please already stop this insanity! STOP the abuse!
Please stop this animal abuse now!
The spectators are just as guilty as the "owners" of these poor dogs!!!!
There should be no ifs, ands, or buts about this. Put a stop to animal cruelty. Animals are part of our family, it should be considered the same as child abuse or neglect. There is something psychologically wrong with those who fight, abuse and neglect animals. Please put a stop to this!
These people should be put behind bars.
Animals are God's creations and they deserve love and not abuse!!!!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Lovely presentation
Of course it's exciting to get your invitations but it was made even better by Magnet Street's thoughtful presentation. The charming blue box with helpful hints in addition to the invites were a pleasant surprise. And with the generous discount code, this was the best price for wedding paper I found for the quality it offered!
This was my second order through Magnet Street. I have been 110% pleased! The selection they have compares to none other. I received my order quicker than I thought possible. The invites themselves are top quality card stock! They are beautiful and perfect! I did need to call them when designing my invite because I wanted to add something to the back and their customer service person was so very polite, helpful and friendly! They said no problem and did as I asked! I will most definitely use them again!
Came out Great!
I changed the color on the border to hot pink (azula) and the line and names to lime green and the invitations came out great. The colors are so vibrant and look exactly like how we wanted them. The paper quality is very nice as well. Customizing everything was so easy and I loved that we could change the colors so easily. We also orderd the enclosure card, RSVP card with envelope, wide vallium band, and large square sticker and customized each one to the colors that we wanted. it made such a nice package and people have commented that the invites are fun and loved them. Very happy with how everything came out and the customer service is great! Had to call them a few times and everyone is so friendly and nice and happy to help.
Excellent service and quality!
I received my invitations less than 2 weeks after ordering them. I was very impressed with the paper quality and the colour. I made a mistake on my mailing address and customer service was great to deal with! I would recommend ordering from Magnet Street to anyone!
Easy, Personalized, Quick Delivery
I'm very glad that I found MagnetStreet! These invitations were so easy to change the text, message, font and color. You may change any color of the invitation (the text, and all parts of the design). I was able to personalize the colors so that they match my colors at the wedding. At first I was confused about how to change all of the colors, but I called the customer service number and they explained it to me very quickly and clearly! The design is pretty, the colors match perfectly, and I was able to type out my own message on the invitations. (You may change the message to say anything you want it to say. You do not have to use the default message at all) Delivery only took about one week! Once you create a customized invitation you may save it. Then you can login at a later date and either change the invitaiton or finalize your order.

October 6, 2011
Story Courtesy of Limestone Sports Information
GAFFNEY, S.C. Pfeiffer University (5-6, 4-3) played the role of spoiler as they used three first half goals to down Limestone College (6-4, 4-2) by a final score of 4-2 in Conference Carolinas womens soccer action Thursday at Saints Field. With the setback, the Saints were denied their 100th win as an NCAA Division II member and will now look to capture the historic milestone against North Greenville on Homecoming Saturday.
After spotting the home team an early 1-0 lead, Pfeiffer responded with three straight scores over the remainder of the first half. Rachel Shapelow (Swan Point, Md.) started the onslaught in the 18th minute when she turned the defense and dished off to Katie Collins (Concord, N.C.) directly in front of the net for the equalizing goal.
Looking to regain the advantage, the Saints put together a few quality offensive possessions but to no avail as shots by senior midfielder Ashley Alderin-Fleagle (Kernersville, N.C.) and freshman forward Dominique Evans (Haymarket, Va.) were blocked before an attempt by senior forward Vanessa Jarrett (Ottawa, Ontario) sailed wide of the mark. Not long after, the Falcons again found the LC defense out of sorts when Ashley Harrington (Albemarle, N.C.) drove the baseline and then found Brittany Papaj (Sandy Hook, Conn.) for an open net goal to give the visitors a 2-1 lead.
Pfeiffer made it a 3-1 affair just over five minutes later after Harrington grabbed the rebound off a Limestone corner kick and then sprinting down the sideline on the counterattack, chipping a shot over LC keeper Kristen Alderin-Fleagle (Kernersville, N.C.) to give the visitors a 3-1 margin at the break.
At the restart, the Blue and Gold closed the gap to 3-2 when freshman forward Gabriella Reid (Birmingham, England) found the range from 25 yards out eight minutes into the second half. Limestone put together one last effort to knot the match but shots by sophomore midfielder Tillman Fennell (Easley, S.C.) were off-key, allowing the Falcons put the match away for good on an unassisted score by Hannah Hill (Monroe, N.C.) in the 87th minute.
In the early going, Limestone jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in the ninth minute after Ashley Alderin-Fleagle headed in her 10th goal of the season off a corner kick by senior defender Justine McCabe (Fergus, Ontario). The momentum may have shifted completely in favor of LC six minutes later but a clean look by Evans bounced off the far post to set up the visitors first half surge.
For the game, Pfeiffer held a slim 14-12 advantage in shots taken while doubling up Limestone 6-3 in corner kicks.
Harrington paced the Falcons offense with a goal and an assist on three shots while Hill chipped in a goal on two attempts. Collins and Papaj each contributed a score while Shapelow tallied an assist. Keeper Jamie Alcala (Fredricksburg, Va.) recorded one save in the win.
Ashley Alderin-Fleagle punched in her league-leading 10th goal of the season while Reid posted her fifth of the year. McCabe registered her second consecutive game with an assist. Kristin Alderin-Fleagle pulled in four saves.

Lecture notes, lecture slides, and reading list from a Spring 2013 graduate-level course covering positive and normative issues in international trade as well as inter-regional trade and economic geography.
Online Text and Notes in International Economics
Online course divided into eight sections, with 60 lectures (around 6 hours total) that can be viewed on Youtube as slides plus audio, or downloaded directly as audio. The site also includes self-test questions and forum facilities for asking questions.
International trade theory and policy analysis is an online textbook by Steven M. Suranovic. It comes with short-answer questions and quizzes. Links from this page go to the table of contents, a course syllabus, problem sets and an Information for Instructors page in which Suranovic argues for the use of this site as a course textbook.
The first chapter, "International Markets," of Thompson's textbook, "International Economics: Global Markets and International Competition," is held here.
A work in progress, this collection of text, external links and problem sets is intended to develop into a full online textbook. The files are available free online, or can be downloaded in PDF for a fee. Current chapters available include: National Income and the Balance of Payments Accounts, The Whole Truth about Trade Imbalances, Foreign Exchange, Markets, Interest Rate Parity, and Purchasing Power Parity.
The Nobel Foundation makes available a great deal of material on each of the Economics prize winners, including video of each Prize Lecture since Robert Mundell in 1999. As well as a lay introduction to each prize winner's research, there are "Advanced information" links giving a more technical explanation. This link is to the Economics Network's quick index of lecture videos and related materials on the site. Each video is a full lecture (usually between 40 and 60 minutes) with good audio and video quality, and pitched at a non-technical audience. Transcripts of each lecture are available.
Lecture notes (in PDFs) covering main models of international trade, and some institutional detail. Problems sets and solutions to be solved with the models, also in PDF.
Detailed lecture notes with diagrams from a course on International Economics by Kwan Choi of Iowa State University. Topics are Derivatives, the Heckscher-Ohlin Model, Protectionism, Developing Countries, and the Balance of Payments.
This is a support website for the teaching of Wei-Choun Yu, Assistant Professor of Economics at Winona State University. It contains teaching materials for Macroeconomics, International Economics and Forecasting Methods. The individual course pages include syllabi, assignments, lecture slides and other materials. Each course page also includes brief links to external Internet sites.
This course page supports a course on international monetary economics as taught by Olivier Jeanne at Johns Hopkins University in 2010. It presents theory and applies it towards gaining an understanding of recent events and current policy issues. The theory presented in this course covers a broad range of topics including exchange rate determination, monetary and fiscal policy in an open economy (that is, and economy that trades goods and assets with the rest of the world), balance of payments crises, the choice of exchange rate systems, and international debt. These theoretical frameworks enable the discussion of topics such as the current global financial crisis, global financial imbalances, the Chinese exchange rate regime, and proposed changes in the international financial architecture. It includes a course syllabus, lectures notes / slides and exam papers. The site is no longer online, so the link is to the Web Archive's copy.

Historical Assets Under Management on Land Grant Permanent Fund[ Content protected for Sovereign Wealth Fund Institute Standard subscribers only. Please subscribe to view content. ]
The trust is broken down into three funds:
The Land Grant Permanent Fund (LGPF) is New Mexico's largest endowment and permanent fund. It was established through, and continues to be maintained in part by leasing fees the State charges for 13.4 million acres of mineral resources and 8.8 million acres of surface land. The State Investment Council manages day to day operations of the Land Grant Permanent Fund, including investments and distributions.
The Severance Tax Permanent Fund (STPF) was established by the legislature as an endowment fund in 1973, to receive severance taxes collected on natural resources extracted from New Mexico lands. The State?s severance taxes have historically been used to retire debt from bond issues that have funded various capital projects.
Currently, severance tax revenues first pay the required debt service on severance tax bonds issued by the state, and the remaining (approximately 5% or less – historically it was 12.5%) severance tax receipts are then transferred to the Severance Tax Permanent Fund. The STPF is now a broadly diversified permanent fund, and except for its Economically Targeted Investment, the STPF investment statutes and asset allocations are essentially the same as those in the LGPF.
Tobacco Settlement Permanent Fund
The Tobacco Settlement Permanent Fund (TSPF) was created in 2000 as part of the Master Settlement Agreement between New Mexico, other states and big tobacco companies.

Report: U.S. Solar Market Spiked in Second Quarter of 2012
September 12, 2012
The U.S. solar industry notched its second-best quarter in history with 742 megawatts of solar panels installed in the second quarter of 2012.
The U.S. solar industry notched its second-best quarter in history, installing 742 megawatts of solar power in the second quarter of 2012, according to a report from the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). A record 477 MW of utility-scale installations helped the U.S. solar market expand by 45% over the first quarter of 2012, and 116% over the same period in 2011.
Eight states registered utility installations of 10 megawatts or greater: Arizona, California, Illinois, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, and Texas. For the fourth consecutive quarter, the U.S. residential solar market grew incrementally, installing 98.2 MW. California, Arizona, and New Jersey led residential installations nationally.
According to the latest U.S. Solar Market Insight Report from the industry group and GTM Research, the United States now has 5,700 MW of installed solar capacity—enough to power more than 940,000 households. The report notes that the market will remain strong through the last two quarters of 2012, and forecasts a total of 3,200 MW of PV will be installed this year—up 71% over 2011 totals. See the SEIA press release.

National team competitions
15-20, 23-22, 20-26, 34-29
Gaz Metan Medias clinched a spot in the EuroChallenge Regular Season with a thrilling 97-92 triumph at Ural Ekaterinburg on Tuesday.
Beaten in the first leg last week at home, 69-67, the Romanian club did just enough in Russia to claim a three-point win on aggregate.
After going in front by as many as 14 on Tuesday for a 12-point lead overall in the tie, Gaz Metan saw the hosts close to 95-92 with nine seconds remaining on Anton Glazunov's three-ball.
Glazunov took his points haul to 26 with his fourth three-ball from six attempts which gave his team a life-line.
The visitors then allowed the door to open a little wider when Gaz Metan's Paul Graham missed two free-throws.
But Ural Ekaterinburg failed to box out Michael St. John, who grabbed the offensive rebound off the second miss.
The ball ended up in the hands off Graham with five seconds to go and once more, Ekaterinburg put him on the line.
This time, Graham sank both free-throws for the 97-92 final.
Gaz Metan shot the ball much better from long range, hitting 12 of 24 attempts while Ekaterinburg made just six of 21.
Five players hit double digits for the winners, including Graham with 26.
Deven Mitchell had 12 points and 11 rebounds for Gaz Metan, who will play in Group D against BC Khimik Yuzhne, Tartu University Rocket and JDA Dijon Basket.
The Regular season tips off on 6 November.
Dmitrii Nikolaev also weighed in with 22 points and eight rebounds in defeat.
Gaz Metan Medias head coach Marcel Dan Tenter"Congratulations to the hosts, they have shown us really great basketball, and the atmosphere was amazing. We corrected the mistakes we made in the first game, especially the low shooting percentage. We controlled the entire game but I am not satisfied with our play during the last three minutes."
URAL Ekaterinburg head coach Oleg Okulov"We got nervous and instead of fulfilling our plans we started to simplify the game. The opponents were precise from the perimeter, we failed to overcome them. The main positive result of our participation in the EuroChallenge is the more than 4,000 spectators who came to support their favourite team. This means that Ekaterinburg is ready for big basketball."
Gaz Metan Medias player Ivan Ivanovic "It was a very hard and tough game. We tried to control it for 40 minutes, but it was a very complicated task. During the home game in Romania we were a little bit afraid, because it was our first game in the EuroChallenge but here we were better prepared and did our best to win."
URAL Ekaterinburg player Oleg Baranov"Gaz Metan is a very strong team. We were eager to win, but unfortunately we failed, because our defence was not good enough."

The City of Kinston made it a priority this fiscal year to update development ordinances in order to make a more business and developer friendly process, while simultaneously providing common sense regulations that will enhance the visual landscape of our community.
The Unified Development Ordinance, or UDO, is a comprehensive document that outlays the development framework and requirements within the zoning jurisdiction of the City of Kinston. For those who may not know, this document establishes zoning districts for particular developments, establishes requirements that determine how far structures can be situated from property lines, addresses what types of uses are allowed in what parts of town, and much more.
Essentially, these are the rules of the game for all development in the City.
Much of the ordinance that is in place now is confusing to the average reader, which can make the development process cumbersome to prospective developers and a headache for individual property owners trying to make sense of the ordinances. In order to help address this, the City Council made it a priority to update this ordinance through a comprehensive overhaul. We are presently in the midst of this update.
The City Council established a UDO Advisory Committee comprised of community stakeholders such as property developers, real estate agents, surveyors, architects, civic leaders, and members of the Planning Board and City Council. The committee meets regularly on the third Tuesday of each month — the next meeting will be on Tuesday at City Hall and all are welcome to attend.
This committee is charged with ensuring this update goes smoothly and the best interests of the community are central to the process.
The UDO Advisory Committee has been meeting on a monthly basis since November. At each meeting, we review proposed and overhauled ordinances that will guide the development of our community. Thus far, we have covered the following articles of the ordinance:
- Article 1 — Purpose and Applicability: This section establishes the framework and statutory authority for enforcement
- Article 2 — General Regulations: This section sets the foundation for interpretation of rules and delegates the authority to the UDO Administrator to enforce the ordinance
- Article 3 — Administrative/Legislative Authority: This section outlays the specific powers and duties of the administrator, planning board, Board of Adjustment and City Council as it applies to the development process
- Article 6 — Zoning Districts: This section generally describes each zoning district and gives a brief indication of the development types that can be expected in that area. This section also includes the permitted use table, which details many uses and their appropriate zoning districts in town
- Article 9 — Performance Standards: This section details the landscaping requirements and building façade design standards.
The UDO Advisory Committee will review Article 4 (Legislative/Quasi-judicial Procedures) and Article 5 (Development Review process) at its next meeting. These articles outline the specific requirements for a development site plan, minor and major subdivision, and review the approval process for conditional use permits, rezonings, and appeals.
Other upcoming, noteworthy Articles will include: Parking Requirements, Subdivision Regulation, Flood Plain Development and Supplementary Use Regulations. Once these are finished, the bulk of this update will be complete.
Although much of what has been covered in the update process to date has been focused on getting the ordinance up to modern standards and making it consistent with current N.C. General Statutes, there are some items that might be of particular interest to the general public and development community.
First, we have streamlined the landscaping requirements for all new developments — clarifying what is required and under what circumstances.
Second, we are working to establish minimal design standards for commercial buildings; there was a strong push to establish some minimal standards for design by several groups including the Chamber of Commerce, the Kinston Appearance Commission, individual developers, and citizens.
Finally, we have attempted to remove special approvals where most appropriate, allowing staff to approve developments more often — upon submission and approval of a detailed site plan — thus requiring fewer time consuming approvals from various City boards.
Once the UDO Advisory Committee has reviewed each article and approved the final revisions, this ordinance will be presented to the City Council for adoption. We expect these ordinances to be in place by early fall, as we progress toward finishing the initial review this spring.
We hope that you will participate in the UDO Update process at one of our regular meetings. We have a dedicated website for this project — please visit www.cityofkinstonudo.org to review proposed articles, get updates on our progress, review meeting minutes or see upcoming agenda. For questions on the UDO update process, city staff is available to answer any questions you may have. I can be reached at the methods listed below..

The 15-year-old Dixon High forward doesn't play soccer as if she were a young underclassman still trying to gain experience and get accustomed to competiting against older players.
Rather, Rochelle has emerged as a standout for the Bulldogs because she plays with confidence and a high level of intensity, coach Josh King said.
"Carly doesn't play scared," King said. "She believes in her abilities and in her teammates' abilities around her. On the field, she doesn't play like a freshman or sophomore. She plays beyond her years, that's for sure.
"This is a sport she loves and she has a passion for it."
Rochelle has made a name for herself in the area the last two seasons by being one of the best players for Dixon (3-4-3, 1-0 Coastal Plains 1-A Conference), which visits rival and defending state 1-A champion Southwest (3-4-2, 1-0) tonight in a key league match.
Rochelle leads the Bulldogs in scoring this year with 11 goals and 6 assists. Last year, Rochelle finished tied for third in area scoring with 27 goals and 12 assists and made the second team of The Daily News all-area team.
She has no complaints thus far this season.
"Yeah, I'm pretty happy," Rochelle said. "I'm happy as a team that we are working good together and, as an individual, I'm happy."
That is likely all you will get from Rochelle when you ask about her game.
While her play on the pitch has made plenty of noise, Rochelle shows more of her youth with her reserved personality. She just doesn't like talking about herself much.
"Carly is very respectful and very humble and she gets embarrassed if you talk highly of her," King said. "She doesn't like all the extra attention as much. She's friendly with the girls and everybody likes her, but she's not the girl cutting up or being goofy.
"She is a quiet, humble kid who lets her play on the field do her talking."
But that's just who Rochelle is. That's her personality.
"I'm kind of a shy person in the crowd," Rochelle said. "I'm kind of quiet, actually, but I'm loud on the soccer field."
However, Rochelle said that sometimes she tries to go outside of her shell and open up a little more with friends and teammates away from the soccer field.
"I know people say that I'm shy, I get that a lot…, but I just want to prove that I can go beyond my limits and push and fight," Rochelle said.
Rochelle certainly has been a fighter in her two seasons with the Bulldogs.
On the field she is an aggressive player who is as skilled as a four-year starter. Rochelle has solid footwork with the ball and is quick enough to make solid runs toward the goal and get back on defense.
"She has a relentless motor and a never-give-up attitude. Her work rate is something that coaches dream about, especially from a forward," King said. "She not only works offensively but on defense to win balls and create havoc in the opposing team's backfield."
Rochelle is also confident with the ball. She can keep it for long periods of times and go at defenders on the attack with a full head of steam.
"Carly's foot work is very advances for a kid her age," King said. "And she's explosive. She can get by you in the first 10 steps and she strikes the ball as well as any player I have ever had."
But ask Rochelle about her individual talents and, again, she won't give you an extended answer. Instead, she simply says she works hard and depends on her teammates for her goals and assists.
"I think I work good with everybody," Rochelle. "I communicate and my passes and runs are pretty much spot-on."
It appears as if Rochelle is also more comfortable playing for the Bulldogs, compared to last year. While she was a good player last year as a freshman, she knew she had to "prove something" during her first year as a starter.
"The biggest difference is as a freshman you are trying to look up to the higher classes and you have to work harder," Rochelle said. "This year, I had a feeling of how the team goes."
And given Rochelle's play last year, King expected her to have another good showing this season.
Rochelle hasn't disappointed her coach.
"Last year she had a major role for our team and I expected that to continue," King said. "I knew this season we were playing a much tougher nonconference schedule and I didn't know if her numbers would be the same. But I did know she was going to contribute just as much, and she has."
And King would like nothing more than for Rochelle to continue her good play tonight when the Bulldogs battle Southwest, which defeated Dixon three times last season en route to their second state title in three years.
"Carly just needs to do what she's done all season and that is to play within our system and utilize her teammates around her to create chances," King said. "Carly knows she has to bring her best for us to match-up against them."

Cargo offers differents ways of using it at different levels:
- Module Java API: A Java API to parse/create/merge J2EE Modules (WAR, EAR, etc)
- Container Java API: A Java API to start/stop/configure Java Containers and deploy modules into them.
- Generic Java API: A Java API that sits on top of the Container API but allows writing generic code that works with any container. It consists mostly in a set of Factory classes to instantiate Container API objects by name.
- Build and IDE plugins
- Ant tasks: A set of Ant tasks that wrap the Generic Java API
- Maven 2: A Maven 2 plugin
- Cargo versins prior to 1.1.0 also used to have a Maven1 plugin. That plugin has been removed in version 1.1.0 (May 2011) since Maven3 does not support Maven1 plugins nor repositories anymore and the latest user inquiry on that old plugin was in 2007.
- IDE plugins
- Maven2/Maven3 plugin
The main Container API objects are:
- The Container is the top level interface wrapping a real physical container. Cargo supports local and remote containers. A Container is composed of a Configuration.
- A Configuration tells Cargo how the container is to be configured (whether it should create a standalone setup, whether it should be based on an existing configuration, etc). A Configuration can be configured to install Deployables before the Container is started.
- You can use a Deployer to hot-deploy Deployables (i.e. after the Container is started).
- Deployables are archives to be deployed in the Container. They are WAR, EAR, EJBs, etc.

Comments about Garmin Forerunner 50 Heart Rate Strap KT:
Got this thing as an extra with a Forerunner watch. It syncs up with the watch pretty easily, just a matter of setting the connectivity. The reading it provides, after a moment of sync time, is accurate and seems to provide immediate feedback. So it does what its supposed to.
Now time for a few issues: it is a bulky shape that has trouble laying flat across the chest (paddles are rubber/plastic and don't contour well). The paddles seem to get a better reading with a layer of moisture on the skin (I believe it says this in the manual). It also struggles to stay in just the right place, frequently sliding down during runs. You can tighten it to prevent this, however making it tighter makes it more uncomfortable, so its kind of a lose-lose. My final issue is that if you're running/biking in a group of people and you get close enough to someone else with a garmin heartrate monitor, your watch may pick up their rate instead. This can be annoying and hamper certain types of training.
Overall: does its job pretty well, but has several design flaws.

Gallery: Tulsa Architecture Firm Turns Route 66 Gas Station Into Their ...
ElevenTH knew they didn't want to be holed up in some stale office on the 13th floor of a high rise in downtown. They wanted to be in the midst of the city, "the homeless, the prostitutes, the reality of society, all things this building was witness to," as Shane Hood, principal at ElevenTH told us. So they searched for a place they could make their own and jumped on the chance to repuporse a 1950′s PEMCO gas station on route 66 into their new offices. The former gas station had fallen into quite a state of disrepair – boarded up, leaking and "had been on the unfortunate end of many unwise and insensitive remodels".

Most of the time we don't need the lights. When we do, the lighting is wonderful. We have been in the space for 1.5 years and the period appropriate globes won't be going anywhere.

actually the lighting is wonderful…
January 29, 2011 at 9:04 am
While I would probably jump at the chance to have a workspace like this – the lighting can only be described as "ghastly". I'm more than certain there's a period-appropriate pendant luminary that would bounce light off the ceiling and not give you headaches.
I'll bet the light fixtures get switched out within months.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Beyond Expectations
My finace and I chose this style for our wedding invitations and we could not be happier! The customer service is spectacular, we ordered samples (which came in such a cute little package) for free. I also emailed questions numerous times and received speedy responses. I would highly recommend Damask Dream on Fine Linen paper (which a vellum band) for wedding invites...we love them!
Perfectly Personalized
The thing I love most about Magnetstreet is the ability to take any design and personalize it for your colors and wedding style. Everything was well-priced, perfectly printed, and shipped quickly. The Damask Dream style allowed me to fit all of the text that I needed to. The colors were very rich and the shades were perfect. I couldn't be happier with my purchase of Invitations and will definitely be back to order programs and escort cards. Great company to do business with!
Gorgeous design!
I chose Damask Dream wedding invitations and got them in scarlet red. I LOVE the way it turned out and I can't wait to mail them out. The website is super user-friendly and everything came on time. The invitations are gorgeous.
Even Better than I thought!
I can't believe what a great these were. I got them in white with Navy Damask and lime accents. They came out better than I expected. I was a little worried, since they aren't very expensive, that you would be able to tell. I absolutley love them! People have been telling me how nive the invitations come out! And they arrived in just over a week. I would definitely recommend!
Awesome! Just what I wanted!
The many colors and options available from Magnet Street were perfect for our save-the-dates. I was very happy with the samples & color palette. I loved the Damask Dream (a classic motif in updated design), the look and colors we chose (scarlet & ivory on black) were perfect to set the scene for what's to come for our wedding! We updated and dropped the last names to enlarge first names for impact, used more modern scripts available. The final product was just as promised from the proof. The envelopes were pretty basic with partial foil liner, but good for this product. We skipped the carrier card - would have been nice, but not absolutely needed unless you want the formality or have additional information to share at the time. The magnets arrived in a beautiful box within a box which I'll be using to keep samples, swatches and responses. Guests started receiving and the reactions: "that's hot!" and "love it!"
