On Friday afternoons between work and rugby practice, Brittany Wolfe would rush to the campus library hoping all of the copies of her advanced-algebra textbook had not been checked out by like-minded classmates.
It was part of the math major's routine last quarter at the University of California, Los Angeles. The alternative was to buy a $120 book and sell it back for far less. If she could sell it back at all.
Wolfe, a new graduate who estimates she saved $800 a year using books on reserve, now shares textbook tips as a counselor to incoming UCLA students.
A new federal law requires publishers to provide textbook-price information to professors and calls on colleges to identify course textbooks during registration, giving students more time to shop around. At the same time, a robust online marketplace of used books and recent inroads by textbook-rental programs give students more options than ever.
According to a 2005 study by the U.S. Government Accountability Office, college textbook prices increased at twice the rate of inflation over the previous two decades, though not as much as tuition.
More recent data from the National Association of College Stores show textbooks costs climbed 14 percent from the 2006-07 academic year to 2008-09. A 2010 survey by the group found students spent an average of $667 per year on required course materials including textbooks.
In 2008, Congress included textbook-affordability provisions in the Higher Education Opportunity Act. Along with the price-disclosure clause meant to push professors toward cheaper options, it requires publishers to offer textbooks separately from extra items such as workbooks and CDs.
These days, sites such as BIGWORDS and BestBookBuys let students search several online stores at once.
Textbook-rental sites such as Chegg, BookRenter and CollegeBookRenter offer rentals at roughly half the cost of buying.
Textbook publisher Cengage Learning began renting directly to students last spring and has expanded its online rental inventory to 3,000 titles.
Campus bookstore operator Follett will introduce rentals at more than 800 bookstores this fall, and Barnes & Noble will do the same on more than 300 campuses.
I always use Chegg to rent textbooks instead of buying from the bookstore. I wanted to share a promotional code that your readers can use to get a discount on renting with Chegg. Put in the code when ordering and hit the "apply" button. The code also gives you back an additional $5 when selling Chegg your used texts.
Use code CC123047
The code never expires so it can be used over and over! Feel free to share this with other starving students.

Syracuse 4 Durham 2 — GAME ONE
• Duke (W, 3-1) 7IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 5K
• Paul 1-3, R, HR, RBI
• Maldonado 1-3, 2B
• Negrych 0-1, BB, RBI, SH, SF
Zach Duke went the distance in the opener of the doubleheader, giving up two earned on three hits and a walk while striking out five. The Chiefs gave him a three-run lead in the bottom of the 2nd, highlighted by Xavier Paul's solo HR. A walk, single, sacrifice and another single plated the two Bulls run in the 3rd. A walk, bunt single, error and a sac fly gave Syracuse the final run in the last of the 5th.
Durham 2 Syracuse 1 — GAME TWO
• Atkins (L, 2-3) 5IP, 4H, 2R, 2ER, 2BB, 4K
• Pena 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 2K
• Paul 1-2, R
• Carroll 1-3
The Chiefs dropped the nightcap as the offense managed just four hits and two walks. Syracuse got on the board first with a pair of one-out singles from Xavier Paul and Mark Teahen and an RBI groundout by Carlos Rivero. Mitch Atkins needed more than the one run to win, as Durham broke through against him with a pair of runs in the 5th. The Chiefs would get a runner to second in the 6th and draw a two-out walk in the 7th, but couldn't push either across.
Rain postponed the The Harrisburg Senators game Tuesday night against the Richmond Flying Squirrels. It will be made up as part of a doubleheader on Friday, July 13th.
Salem 6 Potomac 0 — SUSP (mid-4th)
Salem opened with back-to-back HRs — one over the wall, one inside the park — as the Red Sox chased Adam Olbrychowski after 2/3rds of an inning and 10 batters faced. The rain came and stopped play after 3½ innings. They'll try to finish this one this morning at 11 a.m., then play a seven-inning game aftewards, weather permitting.
Augusta 8 Hagerstown 1
• Turnbull (l, 0-2) 3IP, 2H, 2R, 2ER, 3BB, K
• Dupra 2⅓ IP, 6H, 6R, 6ER, 3BB, K
• Leonida 1-2, R
• Dykstra 1-3, RBI
Rain shortened this one officially, but a four-run sixth put this one away for all intents and purposes as Augusta won 8-1 to split the four-game series. Kylin Turnbull took the loss, giving up two runs early, while Brian Dupra got knocked around for six runs on six hits and three walks in the decisive 5th and 6th innings. Cutter Dykstra's RBI single in the 5th plated Cole Leonida to break up the GreenJacket shutout.

There really doesn't seem like there is much to see in Syracuse anymore. Still, is it actually possible that Zach Duke is pitching himself ahead of John Lannan in the depth chart? I figure that $5M probably say no, but he hasn't been the disaster I expected.
I would be happy to be corrected on my assessment of Syracuse's roster, if someone has a good response.
AAA these days is always a mixed bag, 1/2 Street.
At this point, you have to think if there are any possible hitters or late inning bullpen guys at Syracuse, the Nats could use them.
My excitement so far this year has been pretty focused on Harrisburg & Potomac. Lots of good things to see there.
Lannan's performance indicates to me that he is troubled by his new surroundings, as we all knew he would be, but not to this extent. Sadly, Lannan is not doing a thing to make DJ regret his decision. He's also playing himself out of a trade to teams that really could use him in the rotation. But he is not performing to his standards, which scares GM's away. I have no doubt he would be his usual self were he wearing the Curly W cap, but for some reason, he's got himself all twisted up inside.
Lannan was never really that good … the statistics are telling. In fact he was probably the worst starter in the NL last season. Really not much better than Mock, Martin, Atilano, etc.
Its showing up in Syracuse because he doesn't have Riggleman or Johnson managing him … he doesn't get yanked in the fifth as soon as hitter figure him out. They've made him pitch seven. He gets shelled just as he would in the majors after 5. There's no one there to protect him, to bail him out except possibly for Arneson.
The other thing everyone keeps forgetting … he can't pitch in relief and appears to have a really terrible attitude about doing that! Every time they try to do that with him he gets soundly thrashed …
And I would put Maya, Rosenbaum, and Duke ahead of him.

Is Society Headed for 'Demolition Man?' [NSFW,VIDEO]
Dennis and Judi were talking about the comments made by Phil Robertson from Duck Dynasty and how it's not whether you agree with his sentiments or not, but whether or not you agree with free speech. As Dennis and Judi were discussing the topic, a caller referenced a movie that we may be quickly headed for if we keep up at this pace.The listener mentioned that we're headed for a 'Demolition Man' society if our government keeps passing laws telling us what we can and can't do.
If you've never seen the movie 'Demolition Man' Sylvester Stallone is frozen and wakes up in the future where the government is everywhere and your every move is watched and if you step out of line, you're automatically fined.
Could this clip below be what society is headed for, where we can't even curse in public anymore? Be careful where you watch it as there is a good amount of foul language in the clip.

Lyreco UK has announced ambitions for its Telford site to become a zero landfill operation by the end of 2012, adding that it has already begun laying the foundations for the initiative by developing a partnership with the Harper Adams University College in Newport, Shropshire.
Lyreco's 2012 sustainability strategy is a comprehensive sustainability initiative that encompasses reducing carbon emissions, slimming down packaging processes and promoting green energy through the use of electric vehicles. It also sets a target to recycle 90% of all waste generated through its activities. Having already achieved this milestone, it is now going one step further and plan to have its Telford site as a 'zero landfill' operation by the end of the year.
Manel Roura, Quality, Security and Sustainability Manager at Lyreco, said: "This commitment represents the expansion of Lyreco's already comprehensive sustainability initiative. In the coming months, we aim to become a more sustainable and environmentally conscious business, and are positioning ourselves to be the supplier and employer of choice in our industry. This is the time to be visionaries, and to make a positive social and environmental impact in the community in which we work."

Plaques honoring Monsignor Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli were dedicated at Budapest's Dohany Street Synagogue complex, the site of Hungary's national Holocaust memorial, on April 15, 2007. The Commission partnered with the Federation of Jewish Communities of Hungary for this project. Commission Member Ronald Bloom donated the money for the bronze plaques and funded several large-screen projections of the dedication ceremony.
Roncalli, who would later become Pope John XXIII, did not ignore the evils taking place in Europe at the time. From his post in Turkey, he issued false papers to save the lives of Jews of Hungary, Slovakia, Croatia, Greece, Romania, France, and Bulgaria.
As Pope John XXIII, Roncalli confronted the elements of anti-Semitism in official church theology and liturgy. His action led to Nostra Aetate, a historic declaration that removed the stigma the Church once attached to the Jewish people, greatly improving relations between the two religions.
The plaques honoring Roncalli were dedicated on Hungary's Holocaust Remembrance Day. The dedication, at which Chairman Miller spoke, was attended by the prime minister, National Assembly speaker, chief justice of the Supreme Court, and other dignitaries. Approximately, 15,000 people participated in a 1.5 mile "March of the Living" ending at the Dohany Street Synagogue Complex.

This is such a cute and fun way to spruce up your house and create a wonderful memory with your child. All you need is some paper (regular white or poster-board type), black marker, paint brush and paint.
Begin by preparing your work area by placing newspaper or plastic down onto the table. Ask you child what color paint he/she wants. My child chose purple and pink. To make the foot-print butterfly, begin by painting your child's right foot and have them carefully step down on the left side of the paper. The right foot will be the left side of the butterfly. Thoroughly clean the foot and then paint the other foot with the other color (or same color if desired). Place the left foot directly to the right of the first footprint.
To create the hand-print butterfly, paint your child's left hand with the paint and have them carefully press down on the paper. Clean their hand and paint the other hand and press that hand-print to the right of the first hand-print, slightly overlapping the thumbs.
Allow the paint to dry. When completely dry, use the black marker to draw antennae to both butterflies and the butterfly body to the foot-print butterfly. Have your child sign their masterpiece and allow them to proudly display it or give it as a gift to a family member.

Well before the Charlotte Hornets made their NBA debut in the Queen City, an earlier Hornets' team started playing minor league baseball here in 1901. The original Charlotte Hornets played at Clark Griffith Park in Dilworth on-and-off until 1973.
Over the decades the Hornets played in several leagues including the Carolina Baseball Association, Independent Carolina League, South Atlantic League, and the Piedmont League. Notable names that played for the Charlotte Hornets included Early Wynn, Harmon Killebrew, Tony Oliva and Archibald "Moonlight" Graham. Graham, a former star of the UNC Chapel Hill baseball team, played for the Hornets in 1902. He went on to the major leagues to play for the Giants, but never made it to bat. His story is dramatized in the movie "Field of Dreams."
After a three-year absence, baseball returned to Charlotte in 1976 under a new name: the Charlotte Orioles, or Charlotte O's as they were more commonly called. The O's played in the old Griffith Park, renamed the Jim Crockett, Sr. Memorial Park. In 1988 the team was renamed the Charlotte Knights, and two years later was moved to Fort Mill, South Carolina.
The J. Murrey Atkins Library Special Collections has several collections with images and clippings that chronicle the Charlotte Hornets Baseball team. The material is located in the Charlotte Hornets Baseball Team Scrapbooks, Steve Perille Photographs, and the Mary Boyer Collection.

Hi Guys,
Decided to do a Fume Shot as I have been doing a lot of Realflow stuff lately. I also Decided to put in a Plate instead of just leaving it on Black like usual.
The Sim consists of 3 Emitters, The Fireball, The Ground sand/smoky wave, and the Trails. The sim was very quick due to changing 4 settings which decrease the sim and render time massively.
Quality and Max iterations do not need to be on default settings most of the time, I lowered the quality from 5 down to 3 and the Max Iterations down from 200 to 70. Next Rendering Tab I Increased Step size up to 200% but left the fire at 50%. Lastly in the Illumination tab increasing step size to 180.
This made a huge impact on my Sim and Render time without loosing any noticeable quality in the sim or render. Thanks to Anselm and Fabian for this info!
Grid Size/Res:
Gradients (Smoke is using Colour Caching, Smoke colours are set in each Particle Src)
Next was Composting:
In After Effects I added a lot of colour correction to enhance the sim as well as blend it into the plate. One of the main things I did was add Sharpen and Grain to the Fume Render, this really enhances the smoke detail and fire detail. I added a lot because I knew the H264 Video Compression will hide a lot of it, also the upload compression as well. I Recorded a video about the Compositing stage:

In today's installment of the Smash Bros picture of the day, game director Masahiro Sakurai unveiled a new move for the hero in green.
Luigi will get his trademark vacuum cleaner, the Poltergust, as a new Final Smash. It's still up for debate what exactly the attack will do, but Sakurai did provide fans with some insight.
"Luigi might be thinking, "Who would've thought I'd get to show off the Poltergust in Super Smash Bros.?!" Wondering if it's going to suck something in? Yeah, it probably will."
The Poltergust made its debut way back in 2001 with the Gamecube launch title, Luigi's Mansion. The item made some minor appearances in games such as Mario Power Tennis and Mario Kart DS since then. It got its chance to shine once again however with the 2013 release of the Luigi's Mansion sequel, titled Dark Moon.
An unfortunate side-effect of the newly announced Final Smash is that the old one will be no more. Luigi's old move, the Negative Zone, was an incredibly funky attack that was as useful as it was weird. That being said it is also good to see that Sakurai is open to changing things up a bit this time around.
One thing this announcement also assured was that the month of March would not show Smash Bros. fans a character addition. This is the first month in a long while that we have not seen an addition to the roster.

Mystic Brewery's Table Beer seeks to recreate a piece of brewing history. Those familiar with brewing history will be aware that in some times and places, beer was drunk more frequently than water. Those who drank beer tended to fall ill less than those who drank water (they would not have known that this is because the brewing process killed microbes in the beer). It was necessary, then, to make low alcohol beer that could be drunk all day (without people being drunk all day). This is what Chelsea, Massachusetts' Mystic Brewery aims to emulate with its table beer. The beer is in a saison style which was given to farm workers in France and Belgium to quench their thirst – on the same beer is better than water principle.
It weighs in at around 4.3% alcohol by volume, but that doesn't mean that it's low in flavor. Mystic obviously puts a lot of effort into its beers. They use traditional mashing techniques to make its wort(unfermented beer) and spend a great deal of time isolating new yeasts (as reported on by the Chelsea Record) to impart new flavors into their beers. The brewery's website states that its founder "has no intention less than helping make New England one of the world's great brewing regions" (You mean it's not already?).
The Mystic Table beer pours a very pale straw color with a cloudy appearance. A smooth, fizzy white head builds up and quickly settles down. What remains does leave a little bit of lacing down the grass. The aroma smells strongly of puckering lemon. Tart flavors dominate the brew, with green apple and white wine notes coming through. As it warms, there's a very slight mushroomy earthiness, and maybe even a slight hint of saltiness. The hops add some herbal, black pepper, and maybe a hint of mint. The malt doesn't contribute particularly strong flavors. Presumably, little malt was used to achieve the low alcohol level.
This causes the one problem with this beer. The body is very thin, which makes the carbonation seem prickly like seltzer water. A little bit of a sturdier body may have helped back up all the interesting flavors from the hops, the yeast, and the fermentation. Overall this drinks like a thin-bodied, less boozy Hennepin. That being said, if you had to work plowing a field on a hot summer day, you might find it quite easy to put down a lot of this one.

Sex allocation theory has been remarkably successful at explaining the prevalence of even sex ratios in natural populations and at identifying specific conditions that can result in biased sex ratios. Much of this theory focuses on parental sex determination (SD) strategies. Here, we consider instead the evolutionary causes and consequences of mixed offspring SD strategies, in which the genotype of an individual determines not its sex, but the probability of developing one of multiple sexes. We find that alleles specifying mixed offspring SD strategies can generally outcompete alleles that specify pure strategies, but generate constraints that may prevent a population from reaching an even sex ratio. We use our model to analyze sex ratios in natural populations of Tetrahymena thermophila, a ciliate with seven sexes determined by mixed SD alleles. We show that probabilistic SD is sufficient to account for the occurrence of skewed sex ratios in natural populations of T. thermophila, provided that their effective population sizes are small. Our results highlight the importance of genetic drift in sex ratio evolution and suggest that mixed offspring SD strategies should be more common than currently thought.

Disease Proof
Report: Ear Tubes Hit or Miss
Now I had ear tubes, I don't really know why? I was little at the time and don't remember much about it. According to my mother I used to get a lot of ear infections and my doctor at the time thought it was the best course of action. And back then it didn't seem that usual because almost all my classmates were getting them. It was kind of like a first grade rite of passage.
Of course I'm older now and regularly exposed to alternative points of view; most notably Dr. Fuhrman's. So to say the least, I wish my parents hadn't fed me milk—especially since I later found out that I'm very lactose intolerant. Maybe if they skipped the milk I might have avoided some of those ear infections that led to my tubing. Disease-Proof Your Child has more on this:
For more on tubing and ear infections, check out these previous posts:
Of course I'm older now and regularly exposed to alternative points of view; most notably Dr. Fuhrman's. So to say the least, I wish my parents hadn't fed me milk—especially since I later found out that I'm very lactose intolerant. Maybe if they skipped the milk I might have avoided some of those ear infections that led to my tubing. Disease-Proof Your Child has more on this:
Ear infection, or otitis media is the most common medical problem for children in the United States, and it is the most common reason for prescribing antibiotics for infants and children. Not only do nine out of ten children develop at least one ear infection each year, but almost one-third of these children develop chronic congestion with fluid in the middle ear that can lead to hearing loss and make the child a candidate for myringotomy, or tube placement by a specialist.So as you can imagine, this next report compelled me. According to Reuters a new study found that children who didn't receive tubes suffered no additional developmental difficulties than children who underwent the tubing procedure. Gene Emery reports:
Babies who drink from a bottle while lying on their backs may get milk and juice into their eustachian tubes, which increases the occurrence of ear infections. Children who are breast-fed for at least a year have been shown to have much fewer infections than those weaned earlier.1
But a new long-term study challenges that practice, saying it does nothing to help most youngsters with fluid-filled ears develop normally.Now, since I've grown up to become the kind of person who doesn't like going to the doctor, popping pills, or undergoing medical procedures, news reports like this make me curious. Was there a better way? Did I really need tubes? Maybe if my parents paid better attention to my nutrition I could have avoided the whole thing. Just makes me wonder, you know what I mean?
In a study to be published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday, researchers from several institutions studied hundreds of otherwise-healthy children up to 11 years old in the Pittsburgh area. They tested the benefits of a procedure that once was the second-most common surgery in the United States and found none.
Even when it doesn't cause pain, an ear infection can cause fluid to build in the middle ear, muffling hearing. Because hearing is essential to speech development, doctors and parents worried that persistent middle ear infections could cause developmental problems.

That's really interesting because I had ear tubes and my younger brother didn't and he has some hearing loss which my mom has always blamed on his not having had tubes-- she always says she wishes she had insisted on it.
Jude - January 20, 2007 3:15 AM
My daughter had four ear infections when she was young. The doctors said that it was probably in part because we were living in Iowa, where I attended grad school. By the time we moved home to Colorado, she had learned how to blow her nose better. I think that's why she stopped having infections, although it's nice to think that it was just moving home from Iowa--that Colorado provides a health advantage.

Despite what Sony described as a large drop off in sales of the PlayStation 3, the PS4 rallied the platform holder's game division to a rise in revenue of 64.6 percent, according to a report today from GameSpot.
According to the report, Sony didn't specify how well the PS4 or PS3 performed individually, just that combined 7.8 million units of both were sold during last quarter.
During the International Consumer Electronics show in January, Sony did announce that they had sold 4.2 million units of the PS4 before the end of 2013. You can read that full Examiner report by clicking here.
Sony also said in its financial report that combined sales of the PSP and PS Vita amounted to roughly 2 million units sold, down from 2.7 million from 2012.
All in all, though, Sony's game division saw an increase of 292.1 percent in operating income amounting to $172 million, contributing to the corporation's overall revenue of $22.9 billion and profit of $257 in the quarter.

Roberto Rincon
William Powell was an American actor. His most famous character is Detective Nick Charles in the series of films of the thirties and forties titled The Thin Man, based on the novels of Dashiell Hammett, where he was paired with Myrna Loy playing his wife Nora Charles. He was nominated three times for an Oscar.
In 1912 after graduating at the AADA, he worked in some vaudeville. After some successful experiences on Broadway, in 1922 he began his career in Hollywood with a small role in the production of Sherlock Holmes starring John Barrymore.
The most famous interpretation of Powell was, as said, the role of Nick Charles, The Thin Man detective, created in literature by writer Dashiell Hammett. Powell shot six films of The Thin Man, starting in 1934.

One Direction members Harry Styles and Liam Payne were among those who attended a book party for One Direction's stylist Lou Teasdale at the Ace Hotel in London on March 25, 2014. Teasdale's recently published book "The Craft" is a collection of fashion advice.
According to the Daily Mirror, Styles (who is 20) was being very flirtatious at the party with model Kara Marshall (who is 22), whom he may or may not be dating. Styles and Marshall were "flirting heavily with lots of touching and cuddling" but were careful not to be photographed together, according to the Daily Mirror. The Daily Mirror reports that Teasdale was the one who introduced Marshall and Styles to each other, and Styles and Marshall have had an "on-again/off-again romance" ever since. Styles reportedly flew Marshall out to New York to see him in the summer of 2013, when he was on tour with One Direction in the United States.
An unnamed source commented to the Daily Mirror about Styles and Marshall's relationship: "They see each other whenever they are in the U.K. and have been really close for a while now. Harry really likes her, not just because she's beautiful, but he also thinks she's cool and down to earth. They're both Northern, so have a similar sense of humor."
Payne was with his girlfriend Sophie Smith, whom he's been dating since July 2013.
Other celebrity guests at the soiree were Ed Sheeran (who is a close pal of One Direction) Rizzle Kicks member Jordan Stephens.
Also at the party was "The Xtra Factor" co-host Caroline Flack, who dated Styles from October 2011 to January 2012. Styles and Flack have remained friends since the breakup.
Styles been romantically linked to numerous women since One Direction became famous, including reality TV star Kendall Jenner, Kimberly Stewart (one of Rod Stewart's daughters), singer/songwriter Taylor Swift, model Cara Delveingne, singer/actress Natalie Imbruglia, former "Made in Chelsea" star Caggie Dunlop, model/actress Emily Atack, singer Lily Halpern, model Emma Ostilly and photographer Sarah-Louis Colivet. There are also constant rumors that Styles is a bisexual whose had romances with his One Direction band mate Louis Tomlinson and BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick Grimshaw, who have all publicly denied the rumors.
One Direction came in third place on "The X Factor" U.K. in 2010. Since then, One Direction has become the world's biggest-selling act from "The X Factor."

Rabbit, Run
by John Updike
Rabbit, Run Chapter 3 Summary
- They walk together on the street, kind of arguing.
- Rabbit thinks she isn't keen on him, same as the Texas prostitute.
- Rabbit says: "Come on now, be a pleasant cunt," showing he will not be impeded by her toughness. They walk now, each with an arm around the other's waist.
- Ruth says he talked about himself too much at dinner.
- He says he was a great athlete, though is nothing now.
- She says she was a great cook, but that now she just eats out to find men.
- They get to her building. They go to her apartment, on the second floor.
- They go in and he starts kissing her and holds her roughly. She tells him to leave.
- He says he just wanted to "hug" her. She says it was more like "kill" than hug.
- She's afraid he will prematurely ejaculate if they have sex. He promises not to.
- She wants to take her clothes off in the bathroom. He wants to take them off for her.
- She wants to put in a diaphragm. He doesn't like them.

- He tells her she is pretty. She makes mention again of her weight.
- He lets her take off her stockings, fearing he will tear them. He continues undressing her.
- He starts to get naked, too. Wanting her completely naked, he makes her take off her ring.
- She laughs at his boxers – says they make him look like a rabbit.
- He washes the makeup off her face with a washcloth.
- They are in bed together, he does it like he does with Janice – trying to get her in the mood. He sits on her butt and massages her back.
- They make love (it's not clear if birth control is used) and she comes.
- He says she's pretty. She says she's forgotten that she could have an orgasm, too.
- She wants to go to the bathroom, and he tries to stop her.
- He doesn't like women to wash immediately after sex.

Nov. 9 TigerCast: Courtney Banghart and Bob Prier
While some fall teams still remain in competition, including two in the NCAA tournament, TigerCast opens its winter previews with conversations with women's basketball head coach Courtney Banghart and men's hockey head coach Bob Prier.
Banghart has guided Princeton to three straight Ivy League championships, and Princeton was picked to finish first in the 2012-13 preseason poll. With reigning Ivy League Player of the Year Niveen Rasheed leading a cast of experienced veterans, and a highly touted freshman class, Banghart is looking forward to seeing just how her team handles a tough early schedule. Princeton opens its season Sunday afternoon at St. Joseph's.
Prier is in his second year as the hockey head coach, and he talks in the interview about how much farther ahead his program is now, as compared to this point last season. The Tigers open ECAC play this weekend with a home doubleheader; following those two games with Cornell and Colgate, the Tigers will be home only one more time in 2012. Prier talks about the growth of the program, his junior captain and expectations for the weekend.
TigerCast can be accessed through the "Podcasts" tab on the right side of the main page, or by going to the main TigerCast page here.
TigerCast, presented by PNC Bank, is the official podcast of Princeton Athletics. Previous episodes of TigerCast can be downloaded for free anytime at GoPrincetonTigers.com.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2013 Article IV Consultation on Euro Area PoliciesPress Release No.13/275
July 25, 2013
On July 23, 2013, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Euro Area.1
Substantial collective actions have addressed important tail risks, and extreme market stresses have subsided. The European Central Bank's Outright Monetary Transactions (OMTs) framework has helped address severe market distortions and improved the effectiveness of monetary policy. Initial progress on banking union—the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM) agreement, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) framework for direct bank recapitalization, and the Bank Recovery and Resolution directive (BRRD)—has demonstrated the commitment to improving European Monetary Union (EMU) architecture. Other critical steps to address the crisis have included: the completion of the European Stability Mechansim (ESM) firewall; the extension of official loan maturities to program countries, and the agreements on Greece and Cyprus. These actions—along with reductions in external imbalances and progress by national governments in restoring the health of public finances—have boosted confidence in the long-term viability of the monetary union.
But the recovery remains elusive. Financial markets are still fragmented along national borders, and the cost of borrowing for the private sector is high in the periphery, particularly for smaller enterprises. Ailing banks continue to hold back the flow of credit. In the face of high private debt and continued uncertainty, households and firms are postponing spending. Needed fiscal consolidation is also weighing on growth. As a consequence, Euro Area GDP is expected to contract by 0.6 percent for a second consecutive year in 2013, before expanding modestly by 0.9 percent in 2014. Headline inflation is expected to remain subdued, highlighting risks of underlying deflationary pressures. And with unemployment, especially among the youth—at record levels, there is a risk of long-term damage to potential growth and to political support for reforms, including for further progress on EMU architecture. In turn, lack of reforms would undermine growth and job prospects
Risks to growth remain tilted to the downside. Because policy space is limited, public debt ratios are very high (and still rising), and economic slack is already substantial, further negative shocks—domestic or external shocks—could severely impact growth. The recent turbulence in global markets has tightened financial conditions in the euro area, although the recent introduction of forward guidance by the ECB has had a mitigating effect. Continued turbulence—related, for example, to expectations of earlier-than-anticipated exit from unconventional monetary policy in the U.S.—could aggravate fragmentation and complicate the conduct of monetary policy. Incomplete or stalled policy commitments at the national or Euro Area level could also reignite financial market stresses. Over the medium-term, there is a high risk of stagnation, especially in the periphery.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended Euro Area authorities for the actions taken at both the regional and national levels, which have stabilized financial markets and reduced tail risks related to a euro break up. They acknowledged, in particular, progress toward building a banking union, enhancing the firewall, and strengthening fiscal governance. Directors noted that these efforts have reinforced the authorities' commitment to preserve the integrity of monetary union.
Directors observed, however, that despite the policy actions on many fronts, growth remains elusive and high unemployment persists, especially among youth. At the same time, household and corporate indebtedness remains elevated in a number of countries, holding back domestic demand. Given narrowing policy space and still fragile and fragmented banking sectors, these developments have increased the risks of stagnation, social and political tensions, and spillovers to the global economy.
Against this backdrop, Directors considered it imperative to revive growth and create jobs through a comprehensive strategy aimed at repairing bank balance sheets, making further progress on banking union, and supporting demand, while advancing structural reforms. They stressed that unwavering political backing for institutional reforms remains critical and in the interests of all EMU members.
Directors recognized that the first priority is to restore sound bank balance sheets to revive credit. Immediate steps include full recognition of losses, recapitalization of weak but viable banks, and closure or restructuring of non-viable banks. In this context, Directors supported plans to conduct a comprehensive balance sheet assessment followed by stress tests to assess the potential capital needs of the banking sector, complemented with a clear strategy for addressing capital shortfalls. They pointed to the benefits of involving an independent third party in ensuring the transparency and credibility of the exercise. Directors also emphasized the importance of a credible backstop, including through direct recapitalization by the ESM, and looked forward to early agreement on this matter.
Directors urged further progress toward a fuller banking union to help reduce fragmentation. Stepped-up efforts are needed to adopt the enabling legislation for the Single Supervisory Mechanism, agree on the Bank Recovery and Resolution Directive, and make progress on the Deposit Guarantee Scheme Directive. Directors stressed the importance of establishing a strong, centralized Single Resolution Mechanism, with the independent power to trigger resolution and make decisions on burden sharing.
Directors generally considered that, given weak growth and subdued inflation, further monetary support, including through policy rate cuts by the ECB, would likely be necessary, especially if conditions worsen substantially. Directors also saw a role for explicit forward guidance in anchoring expectations, while additional unconventional support from the ECB, including that targeted at lending to small- and medium-size enterprises, could help repair monetary transmission, preventing a further credit contraction as measures to restore banking system health are being implemented.
Directors agreed on the need for a flexible, differentiated pace of fiscal adjustment within a credible medium-term framework. In this regard, they welcomed the recent extension for some countries to meet fiscal deficit targets. Directors noted nevertheless that additional flexibility may still be needed in some cases, especially if that available fiscal space is used to implement deeper structural reforms or recapitalize viable banks. In the longer run, it would be desirable to facilitate greater fiscal risk sharing.
Directors urged further structural reforms at all levels, with a view to enhancing the growth potential and further rebalancing demand within the euro area.
