Urethral stricture facts
- Urethral stricture is much more common in men than in women. In fact, urethral stricture is rare in women.
- Congenital urethral strictures (present at birth) are also considered rare.
- Any inflammation of the urethra resulting from injury, trauma, previous surgery, or infection can cause urethral stricture.
- Symptoms of urethral stricture can range from no symptoms at all to complete urinary retention.
- Imaging studies and endoscopic evaluations are important tools in the diagnosis of urethral stricture.
- Medications generally play no role, and surgical procedures remain the mainstay of treatment for symptomatic urethral stricture.
- The overall prognosis for urethral stricture is good.
What is the urethra?
The urethra is the opening that allows urine to leave the bladder. In men, the urethra is a thin tube-like structure that starts from the lower opening of the bladder and traverses the entire length of the penis. In women, it is a shorter opening coming off the lower opening of bladder and is between 2.5 to 4 centimeters (cm) in length.
The urethra has a sphincter that is normally closed to keep urine inside the bladder. When the bladder fills with urine, there are both voluntary and involuntary controls to open the urethral sphincter to allow urine to come out.
What is urethral stricture?
Urethral stricture refers to any narrowing of the urethra for any reason whether or not it actually impacts the flow of urine out of the bladder.
Any inflammation of urethra can result in scarring, which then can lead to a stricture or a narrowing of the urethra. Trauma, infection, tumors, surgeries, or any other cause of scarring may lead to urethral narrowing or stricture. Mechanical narrowing of the urethra without scar formation (developmental causes or prostate enlargement) can also narrow the urethra.
Urethral stricture is significantly more common in men and boys compared to women and girls. This condition is considered rare in females.

Lawrence Lyrics by Camel
Lawrence by Camel
All across this barren land,
elder voices tell
stories of a desert ghost.
The legend of a man
swallowed by the sand.
High upon the red dunes,
a prophet in the wind...
a vision like a mirage,
rises from a man
swallowed by the sand.
into the shadows
of the legend
you became.
into the mystery
and the romance
of your fame.

Sony Says PlayStation Network Is Back Online After Cyberattack
Sony's PlayStation and entertainment networks were back online Monday after a cyber attack took them down Sunday evening, in what the company called a "distributed denial of service attack."
Sony said on its official blog that there was no evidence of any unauthorized access to users' personal information. Sony said that its networks were impacted by an attempt "to overwhelm our network with artificially high traffic."
A Sony spokesman declined to elaborate on the cause of the attack.
This isn't the first time that Sony has suffered from a cyberattack. Previously, its network was attacked in April 2011, which involved a large-scale leakage of customer information. At that time, about 77 million customers' information was stolen, and the company spent more than two months to restore service globally.

Sign from a Port-au-Prince protest in October 2011, declaring
"IHRC = Occupation. Long live a sovereign Haiti." Photo: Ansel Herz.
February 29, 2012
by Deepa Panchang and Beverly Bell
"I am optimistic that in 18 months, yes, we will be autonomous in our decisions. But right now I have to assume... that we are not."[i] With these words, Haiti's Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive watched a swath of his government's decision-making power shift into foreign hands in early 2010.
It's one thing to privatize government services. Since the earthquake, US firms have actually been involved in privatizing governance – in fact, the governance of another country. Corporations with little to no knowledge of Haiti were brought in as volunteers to plan, kick off, and even staff the team with the single greatest operational influence over shaping the reconstruction model for the year after the quake, the Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission (IHRC).
The IHRC was created by the Haitian parliament in April 2010 to direct post-earthquake reconstruction. Its mandate was to oversee rebuilding efforts through the $11 billion in pledges of international aid, including approving policies, projects, and budgeting. The World Bank was to manage the money. In creating and investing this body with its broad power, Parliament conducted a constitutional coup on April 15. Whereas the constitution mandates shared governance by an executive, a parliament, and a judiciary, the IHRC shifted it to the executive and the international community. The Parliament voted to give the IHRC the power to do, effectively, whatever it wanted. The only oversight measure left the Haitian government was veto power by the president.[ii]
Given the corporate philosophies of the firms that designed it, the resultant features of the IHRC were hardly surprising. The IHRC's 26 board members were elected by no one and were accountable to no one. Half were foreign, including representatives of other governments, multilateral financial institutions, and non-governmental organizations. An international development consultant contracted by the IHRC, speaking with the Haiti Support Group, said, "Look, you have to realize the IHRC was not intended to work as a structure or entity for Haiti or Haitians. It was simply designed as a vehicle for donors to funnel multinationals' and NGOs' project contracts."[iii]
McKinsey and Company, a US management consulting firm, was one of the firms that came in to help "design" and "launch" the IHRC.[iv] A background interview with an official very close to the process showed the Haitian government at the beck and call of McKinsey as it structured the commission and determined membership and decision-making processes. (All these aspects later received vehement criticism from Haitian civil society.) At the very first meeting, according to official minutes, it was McKinsey's lead consultants who "made a presentation to the Board regarding the mission, mandate, structure, and operations of the IHRC."[v] The consultants sat in on subsequent meetings as well.[vi]
McKinsey & Co. performed its services pro bono. Whether paid or not, the post was a lucrative one; it well-positioned the firm both to influence future contracts and to shape a climate favorable to business. A 2010 World Economic Forum document explicitly stated that "McKinsey helps coordinate with partners to channel interest from the private sector and connect would-be donors and investors to opportunities in Haiti."[vii]
McKinsey was a natural choice for the job because of its former managing director's long-time personal and political ties to Bill Clinton, who serves as UN Special Envoy to Haiti and was co-chair of the IHRC board. The firm was also a prime candidate because it advances the paradigm of 'government as business,' serving many governments around the world.[viii] As one example, McKinsey played a key role in developing the framework for the reconstruction commissions in Indonesia and Sri Lanka after the Indian Ocean tsunami which, as with the IHRC, involved infusing foreign private sector individuals into policy-making. This was another case in which the local population was excluded from having a say in its own future following another disaster; civil society groups denounced the Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Agency (BRR in Bahasa) for being extremely centralized and discounting civil society voices.[ix]
McKinsey came under fire again after Hurricane Katrina and the flood of New Orleans for work it had done prior to the storm. McKinsey helped major insurance companies develop tactics that stalled court proceedings and delayed payments that, in practice, allowed them to avoid paying out claims to their clients who suffered in natural disasters or accidents. Lawsuits against insurance companies asserted that McKinsey's pre-Katrina advice, particularly to Allstate, effectively helped insurers cheat their customers.[x]
Another US firm, Korn/Ferry International, came on board to head-hunt the executive director of the IHRC. This was to replace the initial staffing that had been provided by the Clinton Foundation, International Development Bank, and the governments of the US and Canada.[xi] Korn/Ferry circulated a job announcement, in English, through politically connected circles in the US and Haiti, as though it were hiring for any profit-oriented business instead of for a team that was making major decisions in the name of a nation and its well-being. The announcement noted that, "Leadership experience in highly efficient and structured organizations, such as the military, is an advantage."
Korn/Ferry provides recruitment services for both corporate and government positions, and keeps its finger on the pulse of the increasing overlap of the two. It even published a report encouraging companies to hire leadership with government and policy backgrounds and vice versa, in what it called a "new marriage between business and government."[xii]
Vesting foreign enterprises with political power is fundamentally anti-democratic. If US firms' performance in post-earthquake governance is any example, it is a frightening indicator of what might emerge with even greater participation in decision-making, as mandated by the redevelopment blueprint published in March 2010 by the Haitian government and international community.
As ineffectual as the Haitian government may be, its functions can't be outsourced. Haiti needs a government with responsibility to the citizenry who elected it and the ability to protect their rights. The pursuits of foreign firms – making governance decisions about rebuilding, paving the way for other firms' Haitian debuts, racking up humanitarian clout – have been at the expense of Haitians still struggling for basic needs and democratic power.
The public good requires a public sector which can guarantee health, education, adequate food, water, housing, employment, agriculture, and civil liberties. It requires more than unaccountable foreign agencies and private businesses that can and do pull out when they like.

Hi Allen,
I have two categories, the first displays correctly images on the left and the description on the right. But on the other category, it seems images are not fetched correctly, the images don't display. I saw that if I choose "give me everything" parameter, then the image are there ! But this cause a bad display on the first category (too long data).
I already tested with "allow_url_fopen" to ON.
I really understand your plugin and the code inside, but I'm not able to find out where to change something in the "preg_match" instruction to fix the issue and get the images correctly on the RSS Feed http://feeds.feedburner.com/surftagram
A "preg_match" change is required in the file "excerpt_functions.php" for the images to be fetched correctly because of their specific name.
For example : http://i0.wp.com/distilleryimage3.s3.amazonaws.com/5e4206e092ac11e2bbd422000a1f9ab2_7.jpg?resize=584%2C9999
Here is the page where is the RSS Feed output :
I noticed that if I change ftp to "0" at line 432 in "excerpt_functions.php", images are showing !
$content = limitwords($maxchars,$content);
$content = limitwords($maxchars,strip_tags($content));
Thanks for your support

The measurement of a lubricant's complex permittivity is an effective indicator of the oil degradation process and it can be useful in condition based maintenance (CBM) to select the most adequate oil replacement maintenance schedules. A discussion of the working principles of an oil quality sensor based on a marginal oscillator to monitor the losses of the dielectric at high frequencies (>1 MHz) is presented. An electronic design procedure is covered which results in a low cost, effective and ruggedized sensor implementation suitable for use in harsh environments.
Keywords: oil quality; impedance spectroscopy; marginal oscillator; dielectric; permittivity; lubrication oil; on-line monitoring

Those Hip-Hop Guys' film festival picks
The 5th annual Milwaukee Film Festival begins this Thursday and there are over 200 films to choose from. Jank and I have spent minutes upon minutes searching through all of them to bring you our favorites and some must-sees. If you are looking for some good music films, a couple randoms and a cool opening night party, this guide is for you.
This film festival has been growing larger every year and it's becoming a staple event for the beginning of fall each year in Milwaukee. Make sure you get out and support, because if you're like me, this might be the only time of year to catch some movies you actually want to see. No, I don't care about Ironman. Sorry. I'm not sorry. »Read Full Blog Post

'Trip to Echo Spring' distills alcohol's role in lives of 6 great writers
"The Trip to Echo Spring," Olivia Laing's remarkable book about six alcoholic American writers, reminds me of the overhead projections we watched in classrooms before PowerPoint came along, in which several transparent sheets were artfully lined up atop each other to produce a complex document.
One sheet of "Echo Spring" captures her pilgrimage to the places where the writers lived, from Tennessee Williams' New Orleans to Raymond Carver's Port Angeles, Wash. Another records her meditations on how their writing and drinking intersected, how they handled their characters who drank (generally with scrupulous honesty) and how they assessed their own alcohol problems (generally not with scrupulous honesty). »Read Full Article(1)

Listening to Lou Reed: 'Coney Island Baby'
On Fridays I'm posting my thoughts on Lou Reed's solo albums, one album at a time in chronological order of release.
After the commercial debacle of the aggressive "Metal Machine Music," and embroiled in a struggle with his former manager, Reed somehow delivered the warm, almost shockingly tasteful "Coney Island Baby" (1975), which holds up today as one of his most consistently enjoyable solo recordings. In some moments it harkens back to the gentler sider of the Velvet Underground -- Reed actually cut a version of "She's My Best Friend," a standout "Coney Island Baby" track, with the Velvets (it's on "VU"). »Read Full Blog Post(7)
'30 Americans' among best 2013 art shows in Milwaukee
I have this habit of flipping through my digital photo archive, holding down the "next" button and watching images blur together like scenery outside a car window on a long road trip. As I began to think about the year in art and architecture, I decided to scroll through 2013 this way, letting my visual field notes unfurl in one long thread.
What surfaced amid the images of Project Runway watching parties, the Venice Biennale and surveys of Wisconsin art were a few realizations, that Milwaukee's art community is increasingly addressing critical issues, including race, inequality, feminism and climate change; that some of the state's most accomplished artists have — after years of lucid and long suffering development — achieved career-defining works; and that public art is being redefined and intensely contested here. »Read Full Article(2)
Best new restaurants
Looking over my list of this year's best new restaurants, it's easy to see some common movements in dining.
Sure, there are differences. For one thing, I've included some spots that are unlike restaurants from past lists. For the first time, I've included a counter-service sandwich shop, on the strength of its creativity and compelling flavors. And how many times previously have I included a butcher shop? Exactly ... never. »Read Full Article(16)
On Tap Today: Closing out 2013
Here comes the weekend – the very last one of the year. Other than dreaming up your resolutions for 2014, how are you going to spend it?
So what could be more glorious that taking in "Les Misérables," the Skylight's centerpiece for the season. Now, here's a little tip. If the show get sold out, and that wouldn't surprise us, consider asking about their "obstructed view" seats and thinking about the whole thing as a listening experience. You'll save some bucks and have a great experience, if you can put yourself in the right frame of mind. »Read Full Blog Post

Fenerbahce progressed to the Europa League semi-finals after an entertaining 1-1 draw with Lazio at a near empty Stadio Olimpico gave them a 3-1 aggregate win.
The Turkish side came into the game with a 2-0 advantage from the first leg but fell behind when Senad Lulic met Antonio Candreva's cross with a firm header.
Lazio pressed for a second but failed to carve out clear openings against a resolute Fenerbahce side.
And when the ball broke to Caner Erkin in the Lazio penalty area he made no mistake to fire a vicious shot past Federico Marchetti to send the Turkish team into their maiden European semi-final.
An empty Stadio Olimpico played host to proceedings following UEFA's decision to make Lazio play two matches behind closed doors after racist behaviour from their fans.
It created a strange atmosphere befitting of a training ground exercise with both managers' instructions clearly audible amid the backdrop of empty seats.
Lazio started nervously, gifting the away side an early corner when Michael Ciani's poor back pass was miscontrolled by Federico Marchetti, but they grew into the game as the first half progressed.
Antonio Candreva was first to fire at the Fenerbahce goal with a tame low shot before Ederson superbly wriggled clear of a few challenges and shot narrowly wide.
Hernanes' disguised free-kick almost crept over the line when Volkan Demirel spilled the initial effort but the keeper quickly recovered to grab the ball before Kozak tapped in.
Senad Lulic then burst down the left and delivered a clever centre to the onrushing Candreva but the Italian's shot flew just over the bar.
On the stroke of half-time Ederson found himself in space inside the Fenerbahce area after great work from Hernanes, but his low shot from a tight angle was saved by Demirel's outstretched legs.
Lazio picked up where they left off in the second half as Kozak immediately came close with a flicked header and it was becoming clear that Demirel was struggling to deal with anything above waist height.
And it was from a cross that the home side made the breakthrough. The excellent Candreva broke down the right and delivered a pinpoint cross which Lulic met with a powerful header.
The goal lifted Lazio's spirits and they almost added second when Ederson met a looping Lulic cross only to see his header skid harmlessly into Demirel's hands.
And they were made to pay when Erkin found himself in space inside the Lazio penalty area, dummying to create space before unleashing a fierce shot into the roof of the net.
Lazio were left needing three goals but they struggled to create clear-cut chances, instead resorting to a series of frustrated shots from distance.
Joseph Yobo survived a late scare when his headed clearance lobbed Demirel before bouncing narrowly wide before the game died out into a frenzy of substitutions and niggling fouls.
Lazio continued to chase the game until the full-time whistle but Fenerbahce held on to reach their first European semi-final.

Broke-Ass Tag: gifts
Image courtesy of Creature Comforts
Dear Heather,
I just got a notification that a wedding guest pledged a large amount of money towards my honeymoon fund registry. This person is a new friend of my fiance; I've only met them once. Do I thank them right away or just send a thank you after the wedding, which is in two months? Is it weird to call them now and thank them? I'm not sure about the "proper" way to go about this. If it were a close family member or close friend, I would feel more comfortable calling them right away to thank them, but I don't know how to handle this particular situation.
Dear Leia,
I don't know of anyone, anywhere, who would object to being thanked for a gift, nor do I think it's possible to thank someone too soon. If you don't know them well, though, it might be a little awkward for them to be called by you and thanked profusely. However, I see nothing at all wrong with having your fiance give them a call to say thanks.
Regardless of whether your fiance calls them or not, though, I suggest writing them a lovely thank you note tonight and mailing it as soon as possible. Make sure your fiance contributes to the note, since these are "his" people. This way, they know their contribution was received and appreciated, and you'll have one fewer thank you to write after the wedding.
For other folks in a similar situation — I'm a huge fan of opening wedding presents as they are received and writing the notes right then. As I pointed out to Leia, it lets the gift givers know that their present was received, and it takes a task off of your to-do list for when you return from your honeymoon. I'm also in the "divide and conquer" camp when it comes to thank yous — if someone is closer to your future spouse than they are to you, hand over the pen. There's no reason why one person should feel obligated to write every single note.
Did you open your presents the moment you received them? (If not, how could you resist?!) How did you handle the timing of your thank you notes? Let us know in the comments below!

The new Model S can drive 315 miles on a single charge
Saving it won't let it grow
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
Computer processor maker Intel Corporation(
) on Tuesday caught a downgrade from analysts at First Global, who
cited concerns from competition and rising inventory levels.
The firm cut its rating on INTC from "Outperform" to "Market
Perform," noting "INTC's reported numbers for Q3 FY10 came in line
with our estimates, though management provided an unexciting and
slightly lower than expected guidance for Q4 CY10…There has been
growing threat from tablets and smartphones and competition in the
consumer business is expected to heat up further in the holiday
season…We expect INTC's start-up costs, as well as costs associated
with taking some of its factories offline, to put pressure on the
company's margins…There is increasing concern over a possible
inventory pile-up."
Continuing, an analyst said "Moreover, the concerns over
softening macroeconomic conditions leading to a further slow down
in demand and weakening of consumer spending have intensified."
Intel shares fell 18 cents, or -0.9%, in premarket trading
The Bottom Line
We had removed shares of INTC from our recommended list back on
June 8, 2010, when the stock was trading at $20.31. The company has
a 3.28% dividend yield, based on last night's closing stock price
of $19.19. The stock has technical support in the $17 price area.
If the shares can firm up, we see overhead resistance around the
$21-$22 price levels. We would remain on the sidelines for now.
Intel Corporation(
) is not recommended at this time, holding a Dividend.com DARS™
Rating of 3.4 out of 5 stars.

Startl is partnering with Philadelphia-based DreamIt Ventures on the DreamIt Ventures Summer 2010 Incubator Program—a later stage, three-month residency open to young companies ready to take their learning products to the next level. The program will take place in Philadelphia and run from mid-May through mid-August of this year. And did we mention it's *free*?
Yes, if you're selected, Startl will cover the cost of your participation. So what are you waiting for?
Here's the scoop (remember, the deadline is now March 22, not March 15):
The DreamIt program is designed to get you from where you are today to a world-class startup with a fundable product in just three months. By the end of the program, you'll be presenting your start-up to a room full of investors who could fund your next round.
You'll work harder than you ever have in your life, side-by-side with other brilliant, ambitious entrepreneurs and technologists. You'll spend your days and nights together. You'll socialize together. You'll help each other when it's crunch time and when you find yourself stuck in the mud.
The DreamIt mentors will provide you with the coaching, encouragement, and tough love you need to bring your dream into the real world. We'll provide you with startup funding, technologists and strategists who can join your team, speakers with expertise in every aspect of tech startups, donated legal and accounting services, and introductions to angel investors, venture capitalists and other sources of public and private funding.
As members of the Startl group of enterprises, participants also have access to additional human-centered design services from IDEO, plus targeted sessions and workshops from leaders in the field of learning and education.
In short, we'll do everything we can to make sure this is the summer of your life – both for you and your company.
What do we look for in applicants? Here are the most important things:
* A potentially BIG idea
* Ability to build a prototype, beta or market-ready product or service within 3 months
* A team whose talents complement each other
* A team where everyone is enthusiastic, bright, and excessively motivated
Startl was incorporated in 2009 with initial funding from the MacArthur, Hewlett and Gates foundations. Its team is led by Laurie Racine, Diana Rhoten and Phoenix Wang.
Here's a must-read for potential applicants. Good luck!

The Millers won their last five games of the 2012/13 campaign to storm up the table and claim second spot in League Two and the feel-goodfactor is still lingering at New York Stadium.
Boss Steve Evans has recruited well, crucially ending a year-long pursuit of striker Matt Tubbs last weekend, and expectations are again high.
Revell, who was handed a two-year contract in the summer and has enjoyed a fine pre-season, is confident of a successful year.
"You can't ask for any more momentum than what we achieved last season with the results and the new boys that have come in have settled in really well," former Leyton Orient frontman Revell told Press Association Sport.
"This year is a massive year for the club and hopefully we can go into the start of the season on a roll and start off in League One with everyone looking at us as if we are going to be a real force.
"When I was at Orient we were never fancied to do anything and it's just about belief and momentum.
"League One is a little bit less physical, but the players are better and if we play like we did in the last 10 games of last season then we will be fine.
"We are going to put ourselves under pressure because we want to do well and want to get this club up again."

Chris2490 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi, looking for some advise. I have my car booked in for its MOT next Wednesday the only concern I have is with the pictures below would this pass its MOT. There is no damage under the car just the sill. It drives fantastically had no problems with it what so ever so do you think it will pass? If not is it fixable? Thanks Chris
Chris2490 posted a topic in Ford Fiesta ClubHi, Purchased my car back in June problem is the locks, when I come to lock it, it automatically unlocks it self. On the rare occasion when I do actually get the car to lock up it wont unlock I have to keep turning the key before it will unlock. Now as long as I push both handles inwards when I am inside the car the doors lock no problem. I had an accident a few months ago as well the drivers side door couldn't be opened until I replaced it. However during this time both doors would lock and unlock okay? since replacing the door the problem has continued.

In this photo taken Wednesday, March 30, 2011 and released by The Wildlife Conservation Society on Wednesday, Jan. 11, 2012, a Matilda's Horned Viper is photographed in a forest habitat in southwestern Tanzania. The world's newest snake was discovered in a small patch of southwest Tanzania about two years ago and was introduced last month in an issue of Zootaxa as the world's newest known snake species - named after the 7-year-old daughter of Tim Davenport, director of the Wildlife Conservation Society in Tanzania, who was on the three-person team that discovered the viper.

All I see now on Facebook is stupid photos with captions like "Like in 3 seconds if you remember this", and the people who upload these photos have hundreds of thousands of subscribers. But, who the hell are these people and where did they come from? :s They only seem to be on Facebook to get "likes" and subscribers. Are they some sort of advertisement team?
Who are these people?

Possibly. I just ignore them though.
Sound like ****ing idiots.
Probably are ****ing idiots.
I think they're "internet famous" people who post generic crap that everyone else knows yet are somehow popular. The likes of Jamie Ryan Dee (Jamjars) and Kingsley, who appear to possess little genuine talent or likeable qualities. I assume Jamjars is popular for looks, which somehow makes the fact that he sells t-shirts with his face on and posts naked pictures online perfectly fine when all it does is make him look pathetic. Kingsley is even more of an enigma - I don't understand how he's popular. He's incredibly annoying and nothing he says is original.
So to answer your question, these are people who have loads of followers/subscribers on Facebook, possibly because of looks, yet don't post anything original at all because people basically lap it up.

Low temperatures tonight in Washington will likely dip into the middle to upper single digits.
However if the winds don't go completely calm downtown could hold around 10 degrees, brutal cold for March!
Highs on Tuesday will likely remain in the middle to upper 20s. The stronger March sun angle may help the southern suburbs to climb to near freezing.
The verdict is not yet 100% clear as to whether there will be any phasing between a coastal low and an upper level trough swinging into the Great Lakes on Thursday.
The models have a coastal storm forming off of the Carolinas and then moving up the eastern seaboard, but how close this system comes to the coast and whether or not it phases will determine if we get any precipitation (rain or snow) out of this system on Thursday.
I'm getting fatigued from winter… I'm actually ready for the cherry blossoms and temperatures in the 50s and 60s.
The snow today reminded me of what you find out in the west coast… pure powder!
You can check out the snow reports from the National Weather Service by clicking here. The reports are time-stamped and will likely be updated this evening.

Higher inflation coming, economist tells UWM audience
The United States is headed into a period of higher inflation because of a constellation of factors under way in Washington, according to an American economist who has spent most of his career advising crisis-stricken economies around the globe.
"It's not a question of if" inflation will creep into the U.S. economy, "but a question of timing," said Adam Lerrick, a former economics professor from Carnegie Mellon University.
Lerrick, an investment banker and scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, spoke in Milwaukee on Thursday for a lecture sponsored by the Sheldon Lubar School of Business at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
Lerrick cited three main factors that will stoke inflation.
First, the nation is running an unprecedented trillion-dollar deficit. Second, the Federal Reserve Bank, in an effort to reinvigorate the slow-moving recovery, "is printing money at an unprecedented pace" and shows no indication it is ready to stop anytime soon, Lerrick said.
Last, but just as critical, neither party in Congress has shown the ability to grapple with the fiscal factors that drive the deficit, including the nation's spending and entitlement commitments.
The Fed is not the world's only central bank that has abandoned the classic mandate of reserve banking, which is to manage inflation and currency supply, and has instead moved into the business of fiscal, economic and employment policy, Lerrick said.
The central banks of Europe, Japan and Britain have all expanded their economic activism since the last recession - a situation Lerrick said is regrettable.
It took 50 years for the world's major economies to achieve consensus that central banks, which have the ability to slow and accelerate, should be politically independent and narrowly focused on inflation. The aftermath of the last recession undid a half-century of economic principle, Lerrick said.
He spoke only hours after the 17-nation European Central Bank cut its benchmark lending rate to a record low of 0.5%.
Many central banks routinely buy government debt as a way to relieve governments of their own debt burdens, even though this inflates the pool of money circulating in an economy, which in turn can be inflationary, he said.
As an example, he noted that the Fed last year purchased a volume of U.S. Treasury debt that was the equivalent of the total amount of debt issued in the same year by the Treasury, he said.
He lauded German central banker Jüergen Stark, who quit his post at the European Central Bank in protest of the ECB's aggressive bond-buying program.
Lerrick has advised governments around the world, including in Argentina and much of Europe as well as several Congressional committees.

Victoria Azarenka of Belarus and Samantha Stosur of Australia pose with their trophies at the Khalifa International Tennis and Squash Complex yesterday. PICTURES BY SALIM MATRAMKOT AND SYED OMAR
DOHA: World number one and top seed Victoria Azarenka of Belarus yesterday thrashed third seed Samantha Stosur of Australia in straight sets to win the $2.2m Qatar Total Open.
Azarenka, who nearly went out of the tournament because of a bruised ankle during her semi-final on Saturday, served with precision against the US Open champion to win the lop-sided final 6-1, 6-3 in just 67 minutes.
It was Azarenka's third title win of the year following victories in Sydney and at the Australian Open last month. The 22-year-old has managed to stretch her winning streak to 17 matches this season, the most by any player on the WTA Tour.
A collage of pictures shows Victoria Azarenka of Belarus celebrating her win at the Qatar Total Open. Azarenka defeated Samantha Stosur of Australia in the final. RIGHT: Azarenka celebrates her win.
Azarenka won the top prize of $386,000 while Stosur - playing her first final of the year - took home $192,000 for her efforts in Doha.
"It is an amazing feeling to have played so unbelievably well today," Azarenka said. "I played a few good opponents this week and not just Stosur. It was a great event for me," she added.
When asked about her remarkable streak this year, Azarenka said: "I am just trying to do my best every time I step on the court. I wasn't 100 percent sure how I would play today (because of the ankle injury on Saturday). I am surprised that everything I hit actually kept going in."
It was Azarenka's 11th career title win in singles. Yesterday's win was Azarenka's sixth over Stosur in as many matches on the Tour.
Both players traded fiery returns in the first two games, holding their serves. But the script changed for good in just the third game when Azarenka broke Stosur for the first time in the opening set.
At duece, Azarenka saw Stosur return long with a lazy shot and then picked up a 'lucky' point when her own return clipped the net chord and deviated from Stosur who had camped close to the net to take the volley.
A couple of unforced errors followed by two powerful forehand shots helped Azarenka to break Stosur - for the second time - in game five. Continuing the one-way traffic, Azarenka broke Stosur in game 7 to take the first set in just 30 minutes.
In the first set, Azarenka won 79 percent of the points on her serves whereas Stosur gifted away points through 14 unforced errors.
After holding serve in the first game of the second set, Azarenka fired two deep forehands to break the Australian for the fourth time in the match and take a 2-0 lead.
However, after losing 8 consecutive games, the US Open champion served well to reduce the margin in game 4 (3-1) of the second set.
Moments later Azarenka - playing in Doha for just the second time - held her serve to go 4-1 up as Stosur lost three points on her backhand.
The Australian, seemingly losing steam and concentration with each point - managed to hold her serve in game 6 to reduce the widening gulf at 4-2.
With the finish line in sight, Azarenka served strong to win game 7 to go 5-2 up. Stosur lost her serve for the fifth time match despite leading 40-15 in game nine. A lazy long return at advantage gave Azarenka the championship and the top prize.
The Minsk-born lost only four games in the final to bag her third trophy of the year. Stosur was guilty of 25 unforced errors in the one-sided final.
"I'm happy with the week that I have had. It's been great to be able to turn around my form so quickly after a disappointing month first up. I'm really pleased that I have been able to pick it up and make it to the final. As far as tonight goes, yeah, I think she played very well, very solid, as usual. She doesn't stand up and hit 50 winners a match, but she makes you work for every point and moves very well, stays on the baseline, and really takes the time away from you that way," Stosur said.
Both players now head to the UAE for this week's Dubai Tennis Championships.
Earlier, American pair of Liezel Huber and Lisa Raymond crushed compatriots Raquel Kops-Jones and Abigail Spears 6-3, 6-1 to win the doubles title in straight sets.

The Left Hand of Darkness
by Ursula K. Le Guin
Character Role Analysis
King Argaven and the Commensals
Foils are characters that highlight each others' characteristics through comparison and contrast, just like a sixth-grade essay.
For example, King Argaven doesn't accept Ai's offer, because he's afraid the Ekumen (3.69). The Commensals boot Ai into the Volunteer Farm for the same reason—fear. Here's the difference. Argaven worries about what Ai's invitation to the Ekumen will mean for his country, and he can't see beyond that. The Commensals fear the consequences of Ai's mission will lessen their power or make them look like idiots (11.53).
In both cases, fear is what drives these characters, but it drives them for different reasons and to very different actions.

The greatest thing since sliced bread!!
I absolutely LOVE Sonos and their network of speakers. We were thinking of installing Bose surround sound permanently into our new house but then I won a Sonos Play 1 at work. Of course, my husband couldn't wait to play with my new toy so he set it up in our 1200 sq ft 1 level apartment. When he finally got it working we were blown away! The sound test is what impressed us the most. We played it first without calibrating (not sure if that's the right word) and then he went back to "calibrate" the sound and the difference was uncanny. The echo was more controlled, the pitch was different, and just over all a better sound. AND our neighbors below us couldn't even hear it at full volume when they knew to listen for it!! (That may be our building though) Needless to say, the Play1 helped us pick Sonos' system over Bose's overpriced wannabe system. #winning
Just one suggestion though: we feel it should be easier to play music elsewhere-rather than connecting to wifi wherever you bring your Play1, maybe Bluetooth capability or even some sort of port to hook the phone in to the speaker? It's free advertising that way too =]
Thank you!
Almost perfect
I enjoy my Sonos system. It's paired with my living room stereo system and plays great music throughout my home. I have one added speaker in my living room, two in my family room, one in the dining room, one in the kitchen and another in my bedroom. While I enjoy the system, I do have some complaints: First, moving a speaker from one room to the next can be an exercise in frustration. I often move my Sonos 5 from my bedroom to an adjoining patio when we have visitors. Unfortunately, it took me an hour to reset everything the last time I tried moving the speaker. This is still a very quirky, hit and miss part of the Sonos experience. Secondly, I wouldn't have this problem (moving a speaker to a screened in porch) if Sonos developed an outdoor speaker. I still don't understand why this hasn't happened. Too expensive? Finally, I sometimes lose my wifi connection. I usually correct this by simply turning off my iPhone's wifi and turning it on again. I think this is a Sonos problem since everything else connected to wifi seems to work fine during these momentary losses.
Over all, though, I highly recommend this system, especially if Sonos keeps making improvements.
Lock-screen controls are great but buggy
I love that they *finally* got lock-screen and control-center controls, but they are way too buggy for anything but a beta version (I'm running the latest iOS on an iPhone SE). The primary problem is controlling the volume, which works about the half the time (regardless of sliding or using the volume buttons). The lock screen works more often than the control center for some reason. The feature hardly ever works of you've used your headphones (I realize it can be tricky to figure out what users expect in terms of UX behavior here) or AirPlay recently. Also, why not add controls for the "heart" in Apple Music and the thumbs up/down in Google Music? It's so annoying to have to search for a song in a separate app if you want to mark it as liked. I hope they keep working on these features, as they greatly inprove the usability of the app.
Update: The latest version has control-center and lock-screen controls that are even buggier. They now work less than half the time for me. (Less an issue with the app than with the firmware is the unbelieveable design choice of letting the system forget the queue position if you use the line-in function. I find this more annoying than Windows spontnaeously rebooting for an update while you're out eating lunch.)
