AS AFRICA struggles with the challenges of region-building, it is worth considering the legacy of Raul Prebisch, a visionary Argentinian economist who contributed tremendously to the building of Latin America 60 years ago. Prebisch was born in 1901. He studied and taught economics at the University of Buenos Aires before serving as undersecretary of finance and agriculture. At 34, he became the first director of Argentina's central bank, serving a military-backed oligarchy, which later became discredited. His world view was heavily influenced by orthodox western economic thinking.
After a military coup in 1943, he was dismissed and ostracised by the regime. Almost like an intellectual Che Guevara whose motorcycle travels across Latin America transformed him into the world's most famous guerrilla leader, Prebisch spent six years in the wilderness travelling more comfortably than his famous compatriot across the region as a banking consultant.
He eventually found succour in the Chilean capital of Santiago, where he served as the United Nations (UN) Economic Commission for Latin America's (ECLA's) executive secretary from 1950 to 1963. The US had been determined to shut down the ECLA, which it regarded as an unwelcome rival to the Washington-based Organisation of American States' Economic and Social Council. Prebisch mobilised political support across Latin America for its governments to take ownership of the body and to stare down the US juggernaut. His ECLA produced country studies of such high quality that he convinced regional governments to embarrass Washington into keeping the organisation alive.
Before joining the ECLA, Prebisch had achieved prominence when he presented his seminal report, The Economic Development of Latin America and its Principal Problems, to the newly established organisation in 1949. He rejected neoclassical international trade theories that argued that such commerce benefited all countries due to the comparative advantage each enjoyed. The ruinous effects of the Great Depression of the 1930s on Latin American economies were a formative experience for Prebisch. He was unconvinced international trade would reduce the income gap between rich and poor countries. He urged Latin American countries to overturn the international division of labour in which the northern "centre" exported manufactured goods to developing countries, the prices of which continued to increase, while the southern "periphery" exported agricultural goods and minerals to the north, the prices of which continued to decline.
Led by Prebisch, ECLA "structuralists" proposed a strategy based on import-substitution and employing protectionist high tariffs on manufacturing imports and a tax on primary exports to encourage the creation of a larger industrial sector. The organisation's two-yearly economic surveys sought to push Latin American governments to break the vicious cycle of low productivity, low income and low savings by increasing industrialisation through restructuring domestic imports and production. Prebisch's approach was to find "historical moments" to use new ideas to transform institutions into movements for structural change. He believed fervently in the role of the state in social engineering and economic planning.
Working 18-hour days at the ECLA with a team of some of the continent's finest economists, Prebisch's disciples spread the heretical gospel of "structuralism". They questioned whether growth would necessarily result in improved income distribution, and called for greater external savings to support regional development.
Prebisch also focused on trying to create a Latin American Common Market, often complaining that Latin America's 20 states operated in "watertight compartments". He urged co-operation in areas such as iron and steel at a time when agriculture-dominated regional trade was a derisory 7%. He preached specialisation based on regional planning as a way of industrialising through the economies of scale of a larger market.
Though critics often dismissed Prebisch's ideas as "impractical" and "socialist", he consistently promoted the role of the private sector, international trade and foreign capital. His success at the ECLA, though, may have contained the seeds of its own failure. Having sold structuralism as a theory for economic development, these ideas did not translate into success in the real world of practice, leading to regional governments losing faith in the new religion. Prebisch later blamed the failures on ineffective implementation by incompetent Latin American governments, in contrast to the success of countries such as South Korea.
Today, the increasing economic success of China and Brazil has rendered Prebisch's binary north-south divide somewhat anachronistic. He died in 1986 at the age of 85, with The Economist dubbing him "Latin America's Keynes". In the end, Prebisch was a tragic prophet whose vision for regional integration and development in Latin America went largely unfulfilled. It was, however, a heroic failure borne not out of a lack of ambition, but of power.

Dear Adam,
I adore you and it's beyond the scope of my vocabulary to express how ELATED I was to see that you pitched well tonight.
What a terrific job you did throwing baseballs!
It's really quite something how you tossed a complete game shutout. That doesn't happen SUPER often, and it's even more kickass in light of your early season struggles and nagging injuries.
Way to stick it to the MAN! (Or other baseball players, as the case may be. I am very stupid and possibly brain damaged from too much WGN.)
In any case, I think you are special and will probably pass you a note in math class to ask if you will marry me. Please say yes.

I have been fighting the EXACT SAME PROBLEM on both FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
and (most recently) on FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. Here is what I found and what
did (finally) work for me:
First, you have to have the 'linux_base="YES"' flag in your /etc/rc.conf file.
I have seen that here before. Next, you have to see "linux.ko" and "linprocfs.ko"
in the output of your kldstat(8) command. Next, you have to build linux_sun_jdk14
from /usr/ports/java. Next, you have to mount(8) /usr/compat/linux/proc like the
message from the linux_sun_jdk14 port tells you. I had all of this and I suspect
you have as well. This failed for me on both versions!
I noticed an error in my console window each time I tried to execute the above
"java -version" command:
command java pid 2557 tried to use non-present sched_getscheduler
After a Google search, I learned this (it is somewhat dated, but useful):

After I reconfigured and recompiled my 4.10-RELEASE kernel I was successful:

I fully expect that this kernel mod will give me success on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE
as well. Good luck! I hope this helps. :-)

Sant Roc 2012 accommodation in Barcelona
Book a rental apartment for Sant Roc 2012
Sant Roc 2012
From 12/08/2012 To 16/08/2012
Venue: Gothic Quarter
The Gothic Quarters annual street party, the Festa de Sant Roc, is certainly traditional - it has been celebrated every year since 1589. So in terms of authenticity it is hard to beat! This is a display of numerous Catalan traditions - there are parades with the geants and capgrosses (giant puppets with a person inside), sardana dancing and old 19th-century street games. This is a splendid introduction to Catalan traditions.
The main focus of this festival is the area around Plaça Nova in front of the Gothic cathedral (Santa Eulàlia), where festivities conclude with a correfoc (street party with firecrackers and fireworks) and aerial firework display.
If you are going to be in Barcelona in August for the Festa de Sant Roc 2012, we recommend our Duran Las Ramblas apartments, situated just behind the Gothic Cathedral, right in the heart of the action, and no more than 5 minutes from Las Ramblas.
If you are attending Sant Roc 2012 and looking for accommodation nearby you may be interested in our selection of apartments in Barcelona. All of these come fully equipped.

I Need Trandfer Advice for AMR and what's wrong with C. Marchisio

Hi everybody,
I need our advice managers! I recently started a new game with Juventus and having quite much fun and am doing reasonable well (Double in the first year).
My first problem is concerning Claudio Marchisio.
Actually, I think he's a really good player, that hasn't any weakness. Right now I am in the second season and somehow I feel I still haven't good him to go completely yet. I team him usually with Pirlo (DLP/S) and Vidal (BWM/S) this way
Problem is I still haven't found the right role for him... whats best: CM/S, CM/A, AP/S, Box-to-BOX? He has a season average around 7.05 and expect more of him, so that's why I think a don't use him right?
Any advice on that???
Second problem is easier: I just look for a AMR which could fit. Who'd you prefer. Reus, Cazorla.
A new sstriker, would be great, too. A real beast, like Aguero But he's tooooo expensive
Oh, And I give advice to everbody, too. Buy Salvatore Bocchetti, he's a fantastic All-Round-Ballplaying-Defender
Thanks in advance everybody

if i was using marchisio i would probably play him as an AP/S and for your right winger i think that carzola is better than reus but if you can try and get hulk or shaqiri they are BEAST!

what have you done with Krasic? player of the year two years running with my Juventus save
badpat 2012-07-06 22:06

Thanks everybody for the advice!
Wasn't a fan of Krasic, but still gave him a chance in first year. He was performing not too bad...
Look yourself!
But Emmanuele Giaccherini is one of those players that come in a while and perfore admirably and much better than their strength/CA would suggest.
Look yourself:
But I feel it can't go forever with him, and for improving the level of my squad i need a player with more prestige and stregth.
So I think Krasic will be sold, he injured several times as well. But he is better than I had thought.
Player of the year is great for him... you must have a good connection to him!
Shaqiri is at FC Bayern, Value 15Mio, hard to get as well.
Hulk seems a good player, expensive at 17mio also. How is he character-wise?

as a character hulk is fine ive never had any complaints from him he is also very consistent and if hes not scoring he is more than likely getting loads of assists

If u want a Right sided winger go for Kikio Femenia,he will smash the italian league he get's load's of asisst's and the odd goal..u will beable to get him for less then 5m.Try playing Vidal as DM instead of Pirlo,and put Pirlo as Deep Lying Playmaker,and Marchsio as a Avanced Playmaker.Good Luck

#57202 blue is the colour : as a character hulk is fine ive never had any complaints from him he is also very consistent and if hes not scoring he is more than likely getting loads of assistsI will definitly take a closer look to him during the upcoming transfer window. He seems really effective, but I hope I can get him for less than 30mios.

Never heard of him before, his price seems reasonable, but is he really a leap forward for me?
Was trying your suggested formation before, but somehow I prefer Pirlo playing his natural role in DM and playing him DLP as playmaker, despite the fact that Vidal might belong there. Maybe it's just for flavour, maybe I feel that Pirlo "deserves" his spot on his prime position more, because he's such an illustrious player - He performs very well too. But I think I will try that change during the upcoming season preparation friendly matches, and if it works - who knows:)
Maybe Marchisio should get Pirlo's spot and playmaking role someday???

Kiko Femenia is not a huge leap forward as a indiviual,but as a Team Player who will balance your squad out nicely.U will have to train him to the way u play,and then u will beable to reap the benefit's.I have him in one of my Liverpool save's,and he has 5 assist's in 7 game's,so imagine what he would do in the italian league.
Marchisio can become the next Pirlo for sure,with experience and guidance..Good Luck

Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, Dusty Baker may juggle the Red Legs' pitching rotation heading into next week's visit to Wrigley Field.
The Reds have an off-day Monday, which would normally cause them to skip fifth starter Josh Fogg's turn. But Baker is considering having Fogg take his turn Wednesay, following Aaron Harang on Tuesday, which would have the effect of giving Baker's two young, stud pitchers--Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto--an extra day's rest.
"We might try to reconfigure to do that," Baker said. "It's not going
to hurt Cueto and Volquez to lighten their load early to keep them
strong late. They're going to be making 10, 11 more starts minimum -
more if we get to the playoffs - than they've ever thrown."
(Insert your own ironic interpretation here.)

On a completely unrelated note, is it wrong for me to be amused by this?
"Tampa Police arrested Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Al Reyes early this morning, saying the reliever was drunk and disruptive after falling down, picking a fight and spitting blood at the patrons of a popular Hyde Park night spot...the officer tased Reyes, knocking him to the bar floor. Ignoring police commands to stay down, authorities said Reyes got up and was Tased a second time."

Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Sorry if 3/44, but the Twins sent over Doug Deeds as the PTBN in the Monroe trade.
.291 career hitter who hit .243 last season in AAA.
So much for getting Lahey back in return.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
The best part of that link is the first comment, from a Twins fan:
"cant we just give them monroe back?"
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
And another Twinkie fan gives a makeshift scouting report on Mr. Deeds...
"Anyway, I liked Deeds. He had a very good 2005 season at AA and then had to repeat the level. He does a little of everything without doing anything great. Hits for OK average, with decent on-base skills and some power. Plays a couple of positions (RF/1B) adequately. This is fair return for the PTBNL."
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Does anybody else think the Cubs lost a lot of value in getting mediocre-to-awful players last year?
Michael Barrett to SD for Rob Bowen
Rob Bowen and Blevins to Oakland for Kendall
Scott Moore and Rocky Cherry to Baltimore for Steve Trachsel
Clay Rapada (PTBNL) to Detroit for Craig Monroe
Getting Lahey back for Monroe would've been nice to offset some of that young talent we lost.
Rapada and Blevins both appear to be better lefty relievers than we have in the system right now, Scott Moore would've been nice depth waiting in AAA or could've been packaged for something valuable, and Rob Bowen turned out to be a lot better than he played while in Chicago.
While Bowen put up a .065/.097/.167 line for the Cubs in 31 ABs, he went on to Oakland to hit .279/.415/.442. While with the Padres he had hit .268/.371/.439. Meanwhile, Kendall hit .270/.362/.356 for the Cubs while playing comparable defense (not bad, actually). However, a combination of Bowen and Soto for in the time that Kendall was playing would've likely proved MUCH more productive than Kendall and wouldn't have required us to pay much salary or to give up Blevins.
What about Monroe? He hit .204/.291/.347 in 49 ABs for the Cubs. I don't care what side of the plate you bat from, that is terrible, and it's nothing that Pie and Fuld couldn't have done while also playing significantly better defense. We gave up Clay Rapada for that?
Moving on to Trachsel. In 4 total games with the Cubs, Trachsel won one game and lost three while posting an ERA of 8.31. He took Marshall's rotation spot, who had half the ERA. In fact, I'd be willing to bet Cherry could've posted an ERA under 8 in 4 starts. Meanwhile, Moore is providing left-handed pop off the bench for the Orioles and has played three infield positions. The guy doesn't have a ton of value, and neither does Cherry, but Trachsel appears to me actually have had negative value.
Oh, and Trachsel and Monroe failed to make the playoff roster while Kendall was pushed into a backup role.
Last season's in-season trades were not very good, and it looks to me like the reveal a GM who really undervalues his own young players.
By the way, Doug Deeds is an outfielder/first baseman who will turn 26 this June. He's a lefty hitter who has never hit more than 16 homeruns and isn't much of a base stealer. Why didn't Hendry at least hold out until he knew whether the Twins will even get Lahey back?
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Kendall hit .270/.362/.356 for the Cubs while playing comparable defense (not bad, actually).
Haha... since when did Kendall play "not bad" defense?
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
I meant "not bad" in reference to the offensive numbers. Nice catch though (no pun intended?). His defense was actually equally as bad as Bowen's and probably as bad as Barrett's.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Don't forget Paul Bako is tearing up the league also.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Maybe Rapada and/or Blevins turn out to be decent LOOGY's, but overall, the guys we gave up were spare parts, at best, with the exception of Barrett, who had deteriorated here to the point he had to be dumped for anything.
Moore and Cherry aren't likely to be anything special.
As for adding Trachsel and Monroe, I wasn't thrilled with the moves but I understand what Hendry was trying to do, add experienced vets for the stretch drive. Sure, in hindsight Pie or Fuld could have put up Monroe's miserable numbers, but Monroe hit 28 hr and 92 rbi the year before, something Pie or Fuld will never do.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
I don't think we lost anthing at all. And hindsight is 20/20. Monroe could have went on a roll like Randall Simon did a few years ago, you just never know. But you can't get a spark to put you over the top if you don't try.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
We did win the division last year, right? Just checking...
Kendall had one great month for us and when he struggled again in Sept he got benched. Monroe for Rapada? Rapada can't even crack the Tigers awful bullpen right now. Moore, Renshaw and Cherry for Trax? Yeah, that was dumb, but once again, no one we'll ever miss.
None of the talent we gave up was crucial or will ever be...
I would think that Lahey was never part of the Monroe discussion or something is happening in the waiver process that we don't know about yet. I believe the deal had to be completed by Opening Day or close to it. Vaguely recall reading that...
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
Not that this validates my point of view at all, but, coincidentally, the Tigers just recalled Rapada from AAA.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
So, it's just me.
Re: Deeds - PTBN from Twins
When you trade away crap, you're going to get crap back.
Barrett was damaged goods, and Bowen was a short term band-aid. Kendall at least was a plausable starting catcher, and if he played in Chicago last year like he is playing in Milwaukee so far this year this would be a very different conversation.
And don't forget, the Cubs also got a First Round draft pick out of that deal.
Monroe was a gamble to have a little extra pop off the bench during a playoff chase and have a righty who could play CF - much like the role that Reed Johnson is playing. The cost was a marginal pitching prospect. Getting anyone back in a second trade was just an extra.
The Trachsel move was just kind of stupid, but more because it moved Marshall out of the rotation than because a couple of very marginal players were lost.
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
They're going to be making 10, 11 more starts minimum - more if we get to the playoffs - than they've ever thrown
er, Dusty,
Cueto made 28 starts last year, Volquez made 29
Their arms are gonna fall off!!
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
Dusty doesn't believe in looking at numbers, especially not before speaking to the press. I'm not sure if that's not old-school enough for him or if it is too small ball...
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
Did Dusty have Darren sitting in his lap for protection, as he did for press conferences after particularly ugly Cubs games?
Yanks/BoSox rivalry
Doesn't particularly affect us, but this story is funny...
Re: Yanks/BoSox rivalry
I'm not particularly versed in voodoo ritualism, but wouldn't it be more effective to enshrine the shirt in the foundation of the Yankee's clubhouse?
Ominous forecast
still 50-60% chance of showers and T-storms tonight...
With an off-day Monday wouldn't hurt out starting staff much if we had to play a double-header this weekend.
Re: Ominous forecast
with all the innings our pen has had to put in due to the extra innings games, a double header is exactly what the Cubs DON'T need.
Re: Ominous forecast
they didn't go through too many yesterday and they'd get Friday and Monday off...doesn't seem too worrisome to me.

Shoot, me too. Johann's mom is calling me upstairs.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever read. Thanks for posting the link!
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
Those guys are in actuality writers for TV shows out in LA - wonder which ones, since they put out some funny stuff.
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
one of them writes for "The Office" i know...
Re: Dusty Baker—Doing It for the Kids
That makes sense - same sensibility. I was wondering about "30 Rock" as well - maybe "Family Guy?"
So when are we planning on realizing that Marquis stinks and Leiber is a far better option as a starter...I know we have won so far this year...but our starting pitching looks like its going to be our weak link.

Meh, I messed that up. Mets are in.
Cards and Giants can still tie though.
Kershaw gets hurt by his defense and gave up 2 more runs. Blach has 8 shutout innings.
Mets already won as did Cards.
tomorrow is gonna be helluva fun if Giants hold on. We're all rooting for a 3-way tie I presume.
good news is now 5 K's for Lester through 4 (in a quest for 200 for season). Bad news is he's already at 86 pitches.
be curious how long Maddon sticks with Lester to try and let offense get back into it and get him the win (4-2 as I type, was 4-0)
Fwiw, he needed 2.1 IP to cross 200 for season so he got that at least. He also needs 9 K's for 200K's on season and he has 4 through 3.
cubs score 2 runs thanks to predictable reds pitching and horrible CIN defense...cubs only down by 1 now. heyward even got a gift 2rbi double out of an easy popout. neat.
something named Ty Blach has outpitched Clayton Kershaw through 6 innings (1-0 Giants).
not that finishing 2nd place will matter much nor did this game, but have to think if Hendricks pitches well tomorrow, he could leapfrog Lester in Cy Young voting. Don't see anyway Scherzer doesn't win it regardless and it doesnt' look like Lester has any incentive clauses that matter. Also might give Cueto some votes.
Rather remarkable how many teams have really good 1-2 options this year.
Nats: Scherzer and Roark (and Strasburg was great before injuries)
Cubs: Lester and Hendricks (and Arrietta is still damn good just not as consistently lately)
pretty much what I'm gathering from this thread is that it doesn't matter who you play in 5-game series, but no one wants to have to deal with Cardinal fans if we end up losing.
I can respect that.
first game for lester giving up more than 2 runs since july 24th. hell of a run.
doh, yes...dunno what happened there. jake arrieta is all "bro wut?"
lester going for #20...cubs haven't had a LH (thanks jpep for the correction) 20 game winner since d.ellsworth in 1963.
fwiw, all the games are free on mlb.tv
Short rest for MadBum would be 2 days. WC game is Wed., Games 1 & 2 are Friday/Saturday.
A left-handed one...
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.

In this treatise climatic cures for children are discussed from a rational and intelligent point of view. Degkwitz emphasizes the fact that in most children it is the altered routine and the change in climate that produce beneficial effects, rather than the specific properties of the climate alone. However, there are certain climatic factors, such as the amount of sunshine, the humidity, the altitude, the temperature and the wind, which should be taken into consideration in choosing the climate most favorable for certain illnesses. In some instances the degree of severity of the illness may be the deciding factor in the choice of climate. The basic principles involved in determining the proper climate for an individual child are thoroughly analyzed. The illnesses chiefly considered by the author are nervous disorders, allergic diseases, cardiac diseases, respiratory infections and tuberculosis. This monograph offers a great deal of practical value to the physician

El Taquito taco truck, a truck I heard of while I was still posting on Yelp, but never visited since I was living in Torrance at the time. Time passed and I've relocated in the area and HELLO Tacos! Inspired by a post by PK, Gourmet Pigs and I ventured off towards the truck that's stationed at Nishikawa Auto Services on Fair Oaks.
Menu and Other Signs
Iced Cold Sapporo
El Taquito Mexicano Truck may not be the best taco truck I've ever had, but in Pasadena, it's hard to find any better option than this. There's another truck down the street, but I'd stick to Taquito everytime! Seriously, forget Kogi, Calbi, and any of these random food trucks that's been popping all over West LA/DTLA. I personally will stick to these "roach coaches" everytime, anytime!
*Update 12/15/09* El Taquito serves Horchata! Large is $2!
