Pomeroys participate in Ring Day ceremony
March 26th, 2014 | SMWC
"Her ring we take, of us a part, encircling fingers young 'round her heart. I pledge to her, a ring to keep, like Woods is lovely, dark and deep. And I have promises and miles to go." With these words, part of the Ring Song, the 92nd annual Ring Day ceremony at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) concluded. Echoes of the recipients' collective voices beautifully fell on the hush of the audience in the Church of Immaculate Conception on Sat., March 22, 2014.
Among those 81 traditional campus, Woods Online and graduate students receiving their Woods Ring was equine studies major Lindsay Whitehead of Friendswood, Texas, a recipient of a Legacy Ring. While most students purchase their rings new, all students have the opportunity to apply for a Legacy Ring, a ring donated back to The Woods by its previous owner. Recipients are chosen, based on academic standing and financial need, by a selection committee. Whitehead's ring is the legacy of Julianne Fischer Haefeli, a 1951 graduate of The Woods.
Haefeli, of Greeley, Colo., was a philanthropist and community advocate who dedicated her life to making a difference. She received numerous recognitions and awards, including the Pro Ecclesia Et Pontifice Papal Medal from Pope Paul VI, an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Northern Colorado, and was the first recipient of the Francis Murphy Rumely Award at SMWC. She served on dozens of boards, many of which she eventually served as chairwoman or president. At the age of 82, she passed away on March 29, 2012, leaving behind three children, John Haefeli, Ann Scott and Joseph Haefeli, and two grandchildren, Amy Couchman and Phillip Scheller.
"I made the decision to donate my mother's ring because I knew it was the right thing to do, something she would've wanted me to do," said Ann Scott, daughter of Haefeli. "She was proud of her SMWC education, so I know she would be thrilled and honored to pass her ring on to a SMWC student. She believed in providing opportunity and giving back. Donating this ring stands for exactly what she believed in. To me, it means that this is an extremely special way her legacy will live on."
For the recipients of Legacy Rings, gratitude, admiration and respect for their donors are feelings they will remember every time they look at their ring and carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Whitehead remembers the day she found out she would be receiving a Legacy Ring, stating that she was overwhelmed with joy, and with tears in her eyes, had to read the email several times just to make sure it was real.
"To be able to carry on a fellow Woods woman's legacy is such an honor and a blessing. I will hold this ring very dear to me as it symbolizes my own growth, beloved friendships and cherished memories as well as my Legacy Ring donor's own journey at The Woods," said Whitehead. "This special ring is a daily reminder of our connectedness with current Woods women and those women who have gone before us."
Other Legacy Ring recipients this year include Woods Online students, Jessica Blevins of Terre Haute, Ind., psychology major, Julia Madison of Terre Haute, Ind., accounting major, and Jennifer Smith of West Lafayette, Ind., human services major, as well as traditional campus students, Jessica Claycomb of Crawfordsville, Ind., graphic design major and Rebecca Klosowski of Lombard, Ill., environmental science major.
"Now that I have received my Woods Ring, I feel like all of my efforts have been rewarded," stated pre-vet major Emily Kimbrough, of Chicago, Ill., after the ceremony. "I am ecstatic to be able to be a part of this unique tradition, and I have been waiting for this day for my whole life. The Woods has been a part of my family for many years, and I am honored to continue this tradition with them. It made this day much more meaningful."
Students like Kimbrough are called Legacy Students. A student who is a 2nd generation or greater Pomeroy is a Legacy Student. Kimbrough's mother, Dr. Jennifer La Civita, graduated from SMWC in 1988, and her aunt, Melissa La Civita, graduated in 1995.
"The ceremony represented all the hard work and dedication I have put into my education," said Kimbrough. "Attending SMWC is more than an education though, it is a sisterhood. I was able to look around at all my fellow Pomeroys, and I saw the same sparkle in all of our eyes, and only we know how much this tradition means. The ceremony was a celebration for us all."

LONG BEACH - The U.S. Department of Defense has awarded $900,000 to Cal State Long Beach to help fund studies meant to improve ocean transportation in the nation's busiest ports, officials announced this past week.
Funded through the department's Office of Naval Research, the grant will go to the university's Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies, a maritime and logistics research institution.
Officials said the funding will help improve technology designed to alleviate cargo traffic and improve air quality in the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles.
"The Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies at Cal State Long Beach is doing some outstanding work on ocean transport technologies that will have a significant impact on our roads and environment both regionally and nationally," Cal State Long Beach President F. King Alexander said in a statement.
Among the projects is a new liquefied natural gas-fueled ship design for cargo transport and plans for improvements in the movement of commercial and military goods and materials.
Established in 1995, Center for the Commercial Deployment of Transportation Technologies is a research and development center investigating maritime transportation issues on behalf of commercial and military interests.

Post subject: 4 Rounder w/ 1st Rd Trades - Some new picks/Suprises!
Comment with improvements, not just complaints please. If all you have is a "no way player A would be drafted here" keep it to yourself. None of us know right now and we all have different prospect rankings. At this stage, I'm still concerned if I hit your team needs or not. Or you could just comment with compliments!
Round 1
1. Kansas City Chiefs
Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
- Andy started his last job with a QB, and will do the same here. I think Geno will separate himself during workouts/interviews.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars
Damontre Moore, DE, Texas A&M
- With no QB worth the pick, Gus shifts his focus to the weak pass rush and takes the freak from A&M.
3. Oakland Raiders
Star Lotulelei, DT, Utah
- The Raiders keep the focus on the defensive side of the ball and get a presence they lack up the middle.
Projected Trade
trades 1st (#4) to
for 1st (#7), 2nd (#38), and 2014 3rd
4. Arizona Cardinals (Phi)
Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
- With an eye on QB's later in the draft, Arians makes the move to secure the best player in this draft at a position of major need.
5. Detroit Lions
Dee Milliner, CB, Alabama
- This pick could be Werner just as easily, but the depth at DE in the draft affords the Lions to go CB here with the stud from 'Bama.
6. Cleveland Browns
Bjoern Werner, DE, Florida State
- More pass rush could make the Brownies a top-5 calibur defense.
7. Philadelphia Eagles (Arz)
Jarvis Jones, OLB, Georgia
- The possible celing is too high to not take Jones here for a staff probably looking to switch to a 3-4 in the very near future. The Eagles take the health risk going with the rush machine from UGA.
8. Buffalo Bills
Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
- I can't convince myself that ownership was just blowing smoke. They're taking a QB, and Wilson will rise to this draft position through the draft season.
9. New York Jets
Barkevious Mingo, OLB, Louisiana State
- If the defense is going to rise back to making this team competitive, improving the pass rush has to be goal #1. Along with Wilkerson and Coples, Mingo returns the Jets' front 7 back to dominance.
10. Tennessee Titans
Johnathan Hankins, DT, Ohio State
- The Titans have been a tough team for me to read this draft season, so I have them going BPA at a position of some need.
11. San Diego Chargers
Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
- After the Eagles asked too much for them to move up to secure Joeckel, the Chargers "settle" for the 2nd best OT prospect this year. Nice consolation prize in the very underrated Fisher.
Projected Trade
trades 1st (#12) to
for 1st (#18), 4th (#111), and 2014 1st
12. Dallas Cowboys (Mia)
Chance Warmack, G, Alabama
- Jerry Jones has never been shy about trading up for a premier prospect. Most years a guard isn't "worth" all this attention, but Warmack is dominant and the 'Boys make the move.
13. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
- This secondary is dismal and Banks is an immediate impact starter and improvement to the unit. Perfect storm for Tampa where a need meets talent availability.
14. Carolina Panthers
Sheldon Richardson, DT, Missouri
- A nice value pick for a team that is quite soft up the middle.
15. New Orleans Saints
Ezekiel Ansah, DE, Brigham Young
- With losing their 2nd rounder, the Saints have to hit here, and after workouts, I believe Ansah will be considered a 'steal' at #15.
16. St. Louis Rams
Keenan Allen, WR, California
- It's time for the Rams to see if Bradford is really the guy or not. For that to happen simply put he needs more weapons. Quick came along fine last year but with Allen on the other side, this could become a solid offense quickly.
17. Pittsburgh Steelers
Cordarrelle Patterson, WR, Tennessee
- I may have thought this would be Te'o until recent events. The handling of Chris Rainey makes me think that Manti is now completely off the Steelers' board. Patterson gives Ben a different type of receiver than he's had before and he'll replace Wallace in the starting lineup if (when) he leaves during FA.
18. Miami Dolphins (Dal)
Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida State
- I don't think Miami is going to bring back Smith, and even if they do CB is a position of need. Rhodes is solid and with a glut of picks in this draft, Miami can take as much "solid" as is out there.
19. New York Giants
Lane Johnson, OT, Oklahoma
- The line must be fixed, and Johnson is a very good tackle with room to grow. Coughlin and company were close to pulling the trigger on a sliding DE, but went on offense instead.
20. Chicago Bears
Jonathan Cooper, G, North Carolina
- Speaking of lines that must be fixed, this offense is ready to explode but there's 5 guys holding it back. Cooper starts right away at G for this team and Cutler's Monday mornings just got less achy.
21. Cincinnati Bengals
Manti Te'o, ILB, Notre Dame
- Cincy would take about 3 seconds to turn in this card. They've never been shy of controversy before and Te'o uses his slide past the Steelers to punish them for a decade. This just became an insanely scary LB corps.
22. St. Louis Rams (Was)
Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
- Vaccaro is rising up boards, and it's easy to see why. He can step in to this secondary day 1 and make plays for a team that might be tough to deal with in 2013.
23. Minnesota Vikings
Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
- I can't see any way this pick isn't WR if there's any value there. Imagine what an addition like this could do for Peterson, who can run for 2,100 yards with 8 men in the box every play.
24. Indianapolis Colts
Matt Elam, S, Florida
- Elam gives the Colts' defense a physical presence they don't currently have.
25. Seattle Seahawks
Sam Montgomery, DE, Louisiana State
- I feel like this is a BPA scenario for the 'Hawks and as everyone says, you can never have enough pass rush.
26. Green Bay Packers
Kevin Minter, ILB, Louisiana State
- Even if they lose Jennings and/or Finley, the offense is in great shape until #12 retires. Minter gives the defense more physicality and play making ability right away.
27. Houston Texans
DeAndre Hopkins, WR, Clemson
- Houston is another team that has to find out if they can win with the current QB. Hopkins gives them a stud opposite Andre Johnson and if Schaub is the guy, this offense becomes near unstoppable.
28. Denver Broncos
Jesse Williams, DT, Alabama
- Williams is a wall in the middle, and that's the only place this defense really needs a major upgrade.
Projected Trade
trades 1st (#29) to
for 2nd (#42) and 2nd (#54)
29. Miami Dolphins (Bal)
John Jenkins, DT, Georgia
- With ammo to move up and a hole at DT, the Dolphins jump Philly, Kansas City, and most importantly New England to nab the mammoth out of UGA to clog up the middle.
30. Atlanta Falcons
Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon
- Jordan takes one of those unexplainable draft day slides and the Falcons swoop in to reap the benefits.
31. San Francisco 49ers
Sharrif Floyd, DE, Florida
- Floyd would play DE in San Fran where they found out quickly how much worse the defense gets if Justin Smith has to exit. Replacement plan in place.
32. New England Patriots
Tavon Austin, WR, West Virginia
- Speaking of replacements, Austin gives the Pats the quickness and playmaking ability of Wes Welker only with more speed.
Round 2
33. Jacksonville Jaguars
- Mike Glennon, QB, North Carolina State
34. Kansas City Chiefs
- Alec Ogletree, ILB, Georgia
35. Philadelphia Eagles
- Eric Reid, S, Louisiana State

- Alex Okafor, DE, Texas

firstly I love the Miami trade down.
I don't like the trade back into the 1st for Jenkins though. I fStarks hits free agency we still have Odrick to drop inside to play next to Soliai so not really a position of need. If we traded up for Jordan it wouldn't be as much as a problem though.
We need to draft a pass rusher at some point as we only have Wake on the roster who can consistently pressure the qb.
We could draft one of the two tight ends in the 2nd although I love your pick of Kelce in the 4th. so 4 other needs are Tackle,Safety,Wide Receiver,

ATL draft.... De, DB, Te, RB.... great mock draft. DB position for ATL has been undervalued in most people's mock draft. Good job sir.

All good picks for Denver, I would change the 4th rounder though, we don't need a WR project, we need to address the secondary in the first 4 rounds. Thanks for your prefacing comments as well. Nice to see someone with the same mindset as I.

30. Atlanta Falcons - Dion Jordan, DE, Oregon - Jordan takes one of those unexplainable draft day slides and the Falcons swoop in to reap the benefits.
Amazing pick. Especially with the multiple fronts the Falcons run.
60. Atlanta Falcons - Will Davis, CB, Utah State
Horrible pick. Especially with who the Falcons have under contract for next season. Both starters in Dunta Robinson and Asante Samuel have played extremely well. Nickel corner Robert Mcclain has been amazing and Dom Franks has done the job when called upon.
Atlanta's actual needs include TE, RB and OL. They don't need a corner though. Honestly, Larry Warford would be the best pick here.
92. Atlanta - Jordan Reed, TE, Florida
124. Atlanta - Mike Gillislee, RB, Florida

Round 2: Logan Ryan
Good pick and addresses a need, but not the biggest need, in which I think we take Rambo there. Value vs need, and with Rambo going 10 picks later, I cant see the Redskins passing up on the value for him there.
Round 3: OT. It is a need, but not a big one. Tyler Polumbus played well for us this year and we have Tom Compton, who could have been signed off the PS from us this past year, but Shanny raised his salary to prevent that. Compton has some promise and could take over the RT spot either this year or next.
And if you have the Redskins taking a CB in the second, with Swearinger on the board, I cannot believe that we pass on the best valued S.
Round 4: WR
Aaron Dobson is a playmaker and I think that he is undervalued only because he didnt play at a big time school with a decent QB. The more I have reviewed the Redskins season, the more I have thought that we need a WR that can off set Garcon. Morgan and Hankerson are a little behind the curve and Aldrick Robinson is just a deep threat.
No telling where Moss is going to be after this year and the roster analysis by the coaches. But Dobson is a solid draft pick for value here.

Projected Trade - Philadelphia trades 1st (#4) to Arizona for 1st (#7), 2nd (#3
, and 2014 3rd
4. Arizona Cardinals (Phi) - Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M - With an eye on QB's later in the draft, Arians makes the move to secure the best player in this draft at a position of major need.
This is not going to happen. The Cardinals will move down in the draft so they can get extra picks. They will only go down to the 10-12th picks and get C. Warmack.
The Cardinals OT's actually played really good in the second half of the season. Its the Guards that truly suck. They need a RG bad.
Look for the Cardinals first 3 picks being on the Offense side.

1st and 4th rounds are good, other two are terrible, Vikings won't spend a pick that high on a QB, Ponder was solid at the end of the year, and he will be the starter next year, so they aren't going to bring in another high round rookie, OLB Greene is an obvious pick. DE is almost not a need right now, but Dt is a big need, better options in round three, or a DB.

I would love for Te'o to slide to the Bengals. Your draft is fine, but given the board, I would have this for the Bengals:
1. Manti Te'o, MLB
2a. Barrett Jones, OL
2b. Gio Bernard, RB
3. DJ Swearinger, SS
4. Denard Robinson, WR/RB/KR/PR/Playmaker

Why would Dallas trade two first rounds and a fourth to move up six spots? To top it off just to draft a gaurd!! Cooper is just as good as Warmack in my opinion. I just dont see how that trade makes any sense?

Looks good for Buffalo. Only thing I dont like is a DE in the 3rd. We need a CB, and Wilson from UConn is on the board still. I do like Bostic in the 4th though.

With all the needs the Cowboys have I doubt they trade picks away. However, I do like the selection. Now, if they could trade a few players like say, Miles Austin (3rd) or M. Spears (6th)or J. Ratliff (5th) and package some of these picks to move around int he draft and say, move up to number 12, then I would love it!

VHDL-AMS and Switch Hysteresis
Visiting with customers, particularly in a first or second visit when we're introducing the benefits and features of SystemVision, is always quite interesting and usually enlightening. Many of these first discussions end with the customer asking the inevitable question: "Can you take one of our existing circuits and simulate it in SystemVision?" If we're visiting with electronics designers, this usually means entering a SPICE-level circuit in SystemVision then running the design through its paces. But with the many versions of SPICE available, from the full-featured commercial packages to the freebie home-grown versions, we frequently face "model not available" problems. So what do we do? Fortunately, and as I've mentioned in earlier blog posts, SystemVision supports the IEEE standard VHDL-AMS modeling language.
Using VHDL-AMS it's possible to model a variety of device behaviors. As an example, earlier this week I worked on a customer circuit trying to figure out how to add a bit of hysteresis to the operation of a SPICE-level voltage controlled switch model. The SystemVision model library has a voltage controlled switch model, but it doesn't include hysteresis. Rather than invent a new switch from scratch, I simply took the source code for this switch and added a new architecture.
There are, of course, a variety of ways to model hysteresis, ranging from basic functionality to quite complex. For the project at hand, I only needed basic functionality. Here is the new architecture I added to the existing switch model (note that text preceded by double-dashes "- -" are comments):
architecture hysteresis of vc_switch is
-- Define the switch resistance and initialize it to Roff which means
-- the switch is normally off.
quantity r_switch : RESISTANCE := Roff;
-- Define the input and output voltages
quantity v_in across in_p to in_n;
quantity v_out across i_out through out_p to out_n;
-- Check to see if v_in exceeds the threshold voltage.
-- If so, set the switch resistance to the ON value.
if v_in'above(Vt + Vh) use
r_switch == Ron;
-- Check to see if v_in drops below the threshold voltage.
-- If so, set the switch resistance to the OFF value.
elsif not v_in'above(Vt - Vh) use
r_switch == Roff;
-- If v_in is between the upper and lower hysteresis values,
-- switch resistance remains unchanged.
r_switch == r_switch;
end use;
-- Force the analog solver to take extra sample points at
-- threshold crossings.
break on v_in'above(Vt + Vh), v_in'above(Vt - Vh);
-- Use Ohm's law to calculate the switch's output voltage.
v_out == i_out*r_switch
end architecture hysteresis;
To make the switch model as flexible as possible, Ron, Roff, Vt, and Vh are VHDL-AMS generics defined in the model entity (not shown here). A generic is simply a parameter the model user can change to characterize the model's behavior. Ron and Roff are the on and off resistances for the switch, respectively. Vt is the input voltage threshold level at which switching occurs, and Vh defines the range of switch hysteresis. Increasing Vh reduces the switch's contact bounce. Here is a brief description of how the switch works:
If the input voltage (v_in) is greater than the sum of Vt and Vh (v_in > Vt + Vh), the switch resistance is set to Ron which is typically very small, effectively turning the switch on.
If v_in is less than Vt minus Vh (v_in < Vt – Vh), the switch resistance is set to Roff which is typically very large, effectively turning the switch off.
If v_in is within Vh of Vt, whether on the high or low side (Vt – Vh <= v_in <= Vt + Vh), the input voltage is in the transition region so the switch resistance remains unchanged.
And that's all there is to modeling basic voltage controlled switch hysteresis using VHDL-AMS. With the architecture defined, it's a simple matter to create the model entity to support the architecture. As with any simulation model, the key is understanding how the device functions. The rest is simply describing the function using VHDL-AMS syntax.
What would you add to make the switch hysteresis more realistic?

Signs of a recovering economy are all around, from modest job creation to a strengthening housing market and rising consumer confidence.
To average folks, these indicators are good news on a gut level and a pocketbook level. But to devotees of what's known as sector rotation, they may be signals to start buying and selling. Average investors, however, should think twice about trying their hand at this investing approach.
Sector rotation is a simple and compelling idea: Because certain business sectors tend to profit more in specific stages of an economic cycle, jumping in and out of those sectors at the right time can put an investor one-up on the market. Think of a surfer positioning himself to catch one righteous wave after another.
Brad Sorensen, the director of market and sector analysis at the Schwab Center for Financial Research, is among those who believe there's a new wave to catch. He recently wrote that the time is right to move away from defensive sectors_such as, utilities and consumer staples_and toward sectors like consumer discretionary and industrials. Such "cyclical" business areas often do better when the economy is strengthening.
In sector rotation, investors make specific bets on which segments of the economy will thrive_or at least will not implode. During a recession, investors make a beeline for utility stocks. Households and businesses need to keep the lights on even when times are tough, after all. In a bustling economy, luxury retailers often thrive as confident consumers open their wallets to buy jewelry or expensive handbags.
Depending on the state of the economy and business trends, sector rotators move their money between the defensive areas — consumer staples, utilities and health care — and into more cyclical sectors.
Sector rotation may seem simple in part because of the profusion of sector-focused mutual funds and Exchange-Traded Funds. Alas, investing, just like surfing, is harder than it looks.
Two elements make the practice perilous. The first is predicting if and when that part of the economy will make its move. Do-it-yourself investors tend to be a step or two behind sophisticated professionals, who have access to better information. By the time they move their money into a sector, the early birds may have bid up prices.
"Generally, the sector that retail investors want to pour into is the one that has had the best performance as of late," says Bill Hammer, Jr., a financial planner in Melville, N.Y. "This is a surefire recipe for investment failure over the long run."
The current environment provides a good example of how tricky it can be to get the timing right. Schwab's Sorensen noted that the cyclical stock groups unexpectedly lagged through much of the recently ended rally. In other words, if you had dutifully rotated into those groups at the start of the year, you would have been too early.
Another challenge is knowing the correct percentage of your assets to invest in a given sector. Too little and you won't adequately participate in the gain; too much and you're at risk from under-diversification.
The larger problem with sector rotation is that it tends serve one goal: Beating the market. That might be fine if you've got "play money" that you don't mind losing. For most of us, investing should be a means to achieve specific long-range goals such as funding retirement or putting kids through college.
"If you're too focused on sector rotation, you end up being a speculator and not an investor," says Joe Jennings, investment director for PNC Wealth Management in Baltimore.
Even professional investors have a mixed record with picking the right sectors at the right time, he adds. It's not surprising. One year's top performer can be the next year's laggard; that's what happened with the utility sector between 2011 and 2012. Conversely, financials went from worst to first between 2011 and 2012.
What's more, the more-frequent buying and selling required to move your money around leads to increased costs, in the form of brokerage fees as well as the capital gains taxes that accrue when you sell for a profit.
Interestingly, the Standard & Poor's 500 index, which is composed of 10 sectors, has a cumulative return of 153 percent since the March 2009 market low. That's better than raw materials, utilities, telecom, consumer staples, energy, and health care, and about the same as technology, according to JP Morgan Asset Management. Only three sectors have beaten the overall market over that period by a substantial margin_financials, industrials and consumer discretionary. And that's an argument for balance and diversification.
Chasing sectors may get your adrenaline pumping, but it's incompatible with a solid, long-term plan. "It's more difficult to be disciplined," says Jennings. "You may not hit the grand slam, but you will get more consistent results."

Due to technological advances, more people with knee arthritis are now able to benefit from partial knee replacement, according to a paper published in the January, 2008 Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Previously, this procedure was performed mainly on patients who were older and who lived a more sedentary lifestyle. Younger, more active people required full knee replacements to ease arthritis pain and maintain knee function.
"A major challenge in orthopaedics is treating younger patients with knee replacements," says Todd Borus, MD, co-author of the study and orthopaedic surgeon at Northwest Surgical Specialists in Vancouver, Washington. "With baby boomers being more active and wearing out their knees earlier, partial knee replacements are an option."
Partial replacements are becoming more attractive to patients due to:
- Higher patient satisfaction
- Preserving more normal knee motion
- Less blood loss during surgery
- Faster recovery time
Dr. Borus points out that even though more patients are being accepted for partial knee replacements, they are not for everyone. "The criteria for partial knee replacements are still relatively strict. The arthritis has to be well confined to one part of the knee. Even though the techniques and implants are improving, not everyone is a candidate."

Analysis & Opinions - Wall Street Journal
The Tragedy of Argentina
Commentators on Greece are drawing all the wrong lessons from my homeland's tragic default.
President Cristina Kirchner's decision to renationalize YPF, the Argentine oil company controlled by Spain's Repsol, took many by surprise. But to someone who grew up in Argentina, it was all too predictable. My country has once again become a byword for economic folly. What I find truly incredible is that serious commentators like economist Nouriel Roubini are offering Argentina as a role model for Greece.
Recent scenes in the streets of Athens vividly recall the last months of the Argentine currency peg in the early 2000s. Countries spiraling toward collapse, it seems, are doomed to see their politicians bickering on the precipice while hooligans throw Molotov cocktails at public buildings.
Yet in calling for Greece to follow in Argentina's footsteps—toward a hard default, a steep devaluation, and out of the euro zone—commentators are drawing all the wrong lessons from my motherland's recent history.
When instituted in 1991, Argentina's peg to the U.S. dollar was astute economic policy: It ended the cycle of hyperinflation and chronic devaluations that had thwarted development for decades. Argentina had finally escaped the tumult of post-dictatorship democratic instability. Reforms, privatizations and the peg gave a new government legitimacy.
Hard-won low interest rates, however, led to a domestic borrowing and spending binge, not unlike Greece's after it joined the euro zone. Price stability, growth and renewed faith in the country's economic fortunes eventually gave way to sky-high unemployment, widespread poverty and credit lines from the International Monetary Fund.
In 1999, amid recession, Argentines elected a sober, uncharismatic politician as president. Fernando de la Rúa promised to cleanse the corrupt public sector and leave monetary policy unchanged, maintaining his predecessor's popular "one peso, one dollar" parity.
Chronic deficits and capital flight worsened as the recession deepened. In what can only be described as a leadership failure, politicians clung to an overvalued exchange rate that had, albeit fleetingly, reminded the country of its bygone economic glory. Spending cuts amid recession were insufficient to restore fiscal balance, and the government proved too weak for harder, productivity-enhancing reforms like decreasing bureaucracy or improving labor-market dynamism.
Before long, Argentines were clamoring to "get all politicians out." By late December 2001, Mr. de la Rúa obliged, fleeing the presidential palace by helicopter and leaving institutional havoc in his wake. On Dec. 23, the third Argentine president in four days declared a unilateral debt default before Congress. Seeing the footage of lawmakers cheering him, you would have thought he had announced Argentine victory in the World Cup. Rather, it was the largest debt default in modern history.
In power since 2003, successive Kirchner administrations—led first by the late Néstor and now by his widow Cristina—have painted the default as an act of heroism against illegitimate creditors and the IMF. "Neoliberal" in Buenos Aires remains a harsh insult. It is in this context that some economists, impressed by Argentina's high nominal growth rates, urge Greece to follow Argentina's example.
Yet in Argentina, growth has happened despite the default, not because of it. A largely soy-driven commodities boom is at the core of the country's performance, helped by structural and technological investments from the neoliberal 1990s and the trade link with burgeoning Brazil.
The devaluation and default wiped out a decade of savings by middle-class Argentines and retirees, while rewarding those with enough dollars to hide them in foreign banks. It also put an end to much-needed structural reform, bringing to power people eager to grow the state to perpetuate their political power.
The devalued peso made Argentine labor cheap, but productivity fell even further. Competitiveness was short-lived. Kirchner governments went back to a disgraced 1980s strategy: high growth rates with even higher inflation. A decade after default, Argentina is still shunned by the credit markets. It is unable to finance long-term investment and needs periodic devaluations to maintain "productivity." When the government borrowed money from Kirchner "comrade" Hugo Chávez a few years ago, the high interest rate did not illustrate socialist brotherhood.
The government has instituted draconian controls over all imports. Vintage 1970s-style capital controls are back, coupled with arbitrary trade balancing schemes. Now that all imports require approval, essential drugs have vanished from pharmacies—though somehow friends of the government are able to import whatever they please. "Company-specific trade balancing" leads to the madness of car importers having to buy Argentine wine for export so they can be allowed import quotas.
Meanwhile, the Kirchner government releases official statistics that misrepresent inflation and the country's distributional battles. The government first raided ("nationalized") the private pension system and then appropriated ("reassessed") the central bank's reserves, abruptly ending the bank's independence—itself one of the most important 1990s reforms.
Cash-strapped again and wary of energy imports, the government set its sights on YPF. Government apparatchiks are right to complain that the Spanish owners did not fulfill their investment promises, yet they fail to mention that the government has fixed oil prices so that no independent energy company has incentives to invest. Back in government hands, YPF will pump more political gravy than oil.
Unilateral, hard default also created a decade-long legal mess that refuses to vanish. Judges around the world still hear cases brought by creditors claiming Argentine foreign assets. In this context, it's unsurprising that domestic investments from energy to communications have all but stalled and only government cronies can get reasonable credit.
In short, those praising the Argentine path should look behind the country's deceptive nominal growth rates. The commodities boom conceals falling competitiveness, rampant corruption, and a collapse of productive investment.
The lessons for Greece are clear. While adjustment is unavoidable, Athens is part of a larger, worthy European project. Sure, the German "core" needs to move more swiftly toward a true economic union, complete with fiscal federalism and investment to arrest unemployment, but Greece has been sustained through reform and granted a substantial haircut over private debt.
So Athens has a choice: It can press on with painful but ultimately necessary structural reform, or it can go the Argentine route. It should beware, however, that exit from the euro is likely to bring back the cycle of inflation and instability. Argentina is a reminder of the past Greece escaped, and a future it would be well advised to avoid.

November 29, 1933 - December 21, 1992
What you see in our Indian communities today is the end result of perpetuated injustices which have continued to deprive the Indian person the dignity of directing his own life. Despite the overwhelming odds, Indians have survived, and are preparing to build in those three areas vital to the spirit of the human person - mind, body and spirit. ---Philip Paul
The Union of BC Indian Chiefs was the product of the dreams of the people but the dreams alone were not enough to bring about its materialization. The dream and vision of a united people had to be given shape, direction and organization. The dream needed a body in which to grow. Philip Christopher Paul helped to create this body. He not only helped to create the Union of BC Indian Chiefs but he was instrumental in promoting the peoples movement. He was a pioneer in the fight for settlement of land claims, a strong believer in the value of education and a leader among his community and aboriginal people throughout the nation.
Philip Paul was born in 1933 and lived on the Tsartlip reserve in his early years. He attended the Kuper Island Residential School, the St. Louis College and North Saanich High School. In an address to the Nuxalk Nation given by Philip Paul in October 29, 1992 he described the impact which this system had on his life. He acknowledged that the residential school system attacked his language, spirituality and freedom of thought. He stated "It's important to be a good follower if you want to be a good leader" and this is perhaps the best lesson we can learn from his example. Philip Paul realized that our own spirituality and culture hold the solutions to many of our problems. However, he also made it clear that we must work as a collective to bring about the change needed to make our societies healthy and strong. Perhaps this is the vision which he brought to the Union of BC Indian Chiefs.
Philip worked in a munitions plant on James Island, then in retail sales and for the BC Forest Industry before he became involved in his Band government. He began as a Councilor and later Chief of the Tsartlip Band. He leant his vision to the larger political arena by helping to found the Southern Vancouver Island Federation, the Union of BC Indian Chiefs and the National Indian Brotherhood. Though these accomplishments were many, he continued a lifelong process of contributing to the well-being of aboriginal people.
Philip was a strong believer in the need for education - Indian education. He believed that we could succeed at anything if we had the strength of our culture behind us. In 1967 he became the Director of Native Studies at the Institute of Adult Studies (later Camosun College) and made a large contribution to the establishment of this program and the continued relations with First Nations people.
His work with the Union between 1971 and 1975 was as Director of Land Claims Research. He helped shape the Union as Executive Administrator from 1975 to 1977 and as Director of Education from 1977 - 1980. In his years with the Union, he helped to address the injustices faced by native people over time and helped prepare people - in mind, body and spirit, to work as a collective to bring about resolution of these problems.
In 1980, Philip served as Chairman and Administrator of the Saanich Indian School Board and continued his dedication towards education. He helped found the Tribal school and worked to give the children "the best of both worlds". The contributions which his strength and vision have made to the lives of aboriginal people of BC is evident all around us. Our cultures have survived. We know where we came from and thanks to the leadership of men like Philip Paul we have the power andknowledge necessary to shape our future.

Hemolytic-uremic syndromeHUS
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) is a disorder that usually occurs when an infection in the digestive system produces toxic substances that destroy red blood cells, causing kidney injury.
Hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS) often occurs after a gastrointestinal infection with E. coli bacteria (Escherichia coli O157:H7). However, the condition has also been linked to other gastrointestinal infections, including shigella and salmonella, as well as nongastrointestinal infections.
HUS is most common in children. It is the most common cause of acute kidney failure in children. Several large outbreaks in 1992 and 1993 were linked to undercooked hamburger meat contaminated with E. coli.
Other risk factors for HUS are unknown, although some cases are due to a familial form of the disease. HUS may occur with a variety of other diseases and infections, and after taking certain medications such as mitomycin C or ticlopidine.
HUS is more complicated in adults. It is similar to another disease called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP).
HUS often begins with vomiting and diarrhea, which may be bloody. Within a week, the person may become weak and irritable. Persons with this condition may urinate less than normal. Urine output may almost stop.
Red blood cell destruction leads to symptoms of anemia.
Early symptoms:
Later symptoms:
- Bruising
- Decreased consciousness
- Low urine output
- No urine output
- Pallor
- Seizures -- rare
- Skin rash that looks like fine red spots (petechiae)
- Yellow skin (jaundice)
Exams and Tests
The health care provider will perform a physical exam. This may show:
- Liver or spleen swelling
- Nervous system changes
Laboratory tests will show signs of hemolytic anemia and acute renal failure. Laboratory tests may include:
- Blood clotting tests (PT and PTT)
- Comprehensive metabolic panel may show increased levels of BUN and creatinine
- Complete blood count (CBC) may show increased white blood cell count and decreased red blood cell count
- Platelet count is usually reduced
- Urinalysis may reveal blood and protein in the urine
- Urine protein test can be used to show the amount of protein in the urine
Other tests:
- Kidney biopsy
- Stool culture may be positive for a certain type of E. coli bacteria or other bacteria
Treatment may involve:
- Dialysis
- Medications such as corticosteroids
- Transfusions of packed red blood cells and platelets
Some people may have the liquid portion of their blood (plasma) removed and replaced with fresh (donated) plasma, or the plasma is filtered to remove antibodies from the blood.
Outlook (Prognosis)
This is a serious illness in both children and adults, and it can cause death. With proper treatment, more than half of patients will recover. The outcome is better in children than adults.
Possible Complications
- Blood clotting problems
- Hemolytic anemia
- Kidney failure
- Nervous system problems
- Too few platelets (thrombocytopenia)
- Uremia
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if you develop symptoms of HUS. Emergency symptoms include:
- Blood in the stool
- No urination
- Reduced alertness (consciousness)
Call your health care provider if you have had an episode of HUS and your urine output decreases, or you develop other new symptoms.
You can prevent the known cause, E. coli, by cooking hamburger and meats well and avoiding contact with unclean water.

text: I am just really curious whyoverdraw / fill rate such an issue on Mobile Dev (eg. iOS/Android) ?? I am asking this because from hardware perspective, PowerVR MBX Lite is basically the Dreamcast GPU - in the same class as NVidia TNT 2; while the more capable PowerVR SGX is about the same class as GeForce 2 (? or is that GeForce 4?). On a historical perspective, overdraw / fill rate was never really an issue on desktop, but for some reason on smart phones like iPhone and Android, as powerful as they are at processing polygons, but if some 2D particles are covering the screen and your game grinds to a halt. I just don't get it. Why was this never an issue on the desktop GPU and why haven't they (GPU vendors) learn from the past?

Federal authorities arrested three San Bernardino County residents Wednesday on suspicion of participating in a drug-trafficking ring that distributed cocaine in Italy and methamphetamine in the United States.
Rafael Urena, 27, of Rancho Cucamonga, Carmen Garcia, 35, of San Bernardino and Jenna Michelle Martin, 25, of Upland were taken into custody.
Six more people had already been arrested or were being sought.
Among those people is Francisco Javier Vargas-Oseguera, 51, of Fontana, who is behind bars in Seattle.
The investigation, called Operation Family Guy, focused on the Urena family, who allegedly ran the drug ring.
The U.S. Attorney's Office said members of the family distributed cocaine in Italy and the U.S. and trafficked methamphetamine across the U.S.
They laundered proceeds from drug sales from the Dominican Republic through use of Western Union wire transfers sent to Fontana and Rancho Cucamonga, authorities say.
All nine suspects have been indicted by a federal grand jury.

Let's suppose that you are going to have a magazine which has 16
pages of A5 size. Can you find some different ways to make these
pages? Investigate the pattern for each if you number the pages.
This challenge is to design different step arrangements, which must
go along a distance of 6 on the steps and must end up at 6 high.
Can you design a new shape for the twenty-eight squares and arrange
the numbers in a logical way? What patterns do you notice?
What might the T mean?
Do you know any sequences of numbers that you might label with a T?

Who tells people to update before the jb is even released? What are you thinking? Premature is an understatement. You need to be more responsible with your reporting. Telling them to update at this point is ludicrous and you need to keep your bad advice to yourself. I'll upgrade when Pod2g or Chronic says it is available.
I'm sure they will have an untether jb for the 4S, it may take some time though, seeing as there's a variety of devices that have to be thoroughly tested on, I'm greatful that the dev teams hold back on the jailbreaks to make sure they are completely stable before releasing them, some people post saying its "ridiculous" how long it takes for these jailbreaks to be released, and what's really ridiculous is how much work they put into all of these tools for us, they don't charge us, they don't really ask for anything but patience, and the community criticizes, not all, but some, oh well I guess that's the way it is, I'll be patiently waiting for the 4S jailbreak, and thanks for the update status on the iPhone 4 jailbreak progress
Can't wait for the release! Great job to chronic dev team, once again! Until the public release, however, I'll be sticking with my 4.2.1 iPhone 4. No point giving up the jailbreak just to experience iOS 5 before it's jb'd. IMO - that's not much of an experience.
Update question: iPhone 4 greenpoison jailbreak 4.2.1. When I upgrage to 5.0.1 and then this jailbreak is released to the public, will cydia, mywi and all other apps get reinstalled? Will my registration for apps that I bought get remembered?
Yay... you need to wait until Santa deliver it. It's Christmas present...

Chance The Rapper & Ex-Girlfriend Kirsten Reach Child Support Agreement
Good news for Chance The Rapper! He and his ex-girlfriend, Kirsten Corley, have reach an agreement in the child support case for their 18-month-old daughter, Kensli.
This trial first began in Feb. 2016. In June 2016, the former couple agreed to a plan while they were residing together. This new agreement deals with their parenting plan while living separately.
Then in February 2017, the two headed to court and asked a judge to "set a child support award below statutory guidelines." Their legal docs also added that "while courts are careful not to limit the amount of child support to the child's 'shown needs' because a child is not expected to live at a minimal level of comfort while the noncustodial parent is living a life of luxury… courts have recognized that 'a large income does not necessarily trigger an extravagant lifestyle.'"
The Chicago Tribune is reporting that the case is now a done deal. "This case ended quickly because of the unusually high level of cooperation between the parents putting their child's best interest first," Kirsten Corley lawyer, Enrico Mirabelli said.
"Overall, I'd say they did a good job and worked well together and came to a fair resolution for everyone," added Chance's attorney, Tanya Stanish.

Dave Grohl remembers final moments with Kurt Cobain
Listen to Nirvana on iHeartRadio
As Nirvana fans celebrate the 20th anniversary of the band's final studio album, Dave Grohl is looking back at his final days with frontman Kurt Cobain.
In a new "Rolling Stone" interview, the drummer-turned-frontman of the Foo Fighters says one of his last conversations with the late rocker came after Cobain overdosed on pills and alcohol in Rome in March of 1994.
Grohl says he called Cobain and told him that the incident "really scared everybody," and added that he didn't want him to die. The bandmates ran into each other again back in Seattle and Grohl promised to give him a call later. Soon after that, Cobain committed suicide.
But Grohl says he doesn't want fans to focus on Cobain's death while listening to the new anniversary reissue of In Utero. He says the album should be listened to as it was the day it came out.
Grohl explains that the original intention of the album comes through when you hear it without thinking of Kurt dying, but he admits that isn't easy to do. He says Cobain's death changed the album for him, and he doesn't like listening to it anymore.

Book Nerds Can Find Love, Too!
A new dating website, Alikewise.com, matches people based on their taste in literature.
-Faye Brennan
Over the past few years, a slew of dating websites have popped up on the web that cater to every type of person. There's GreenSingles for people who are looking for an eco-friendly match, DateBritishGuys for those who fancy a hunky accent, and the list goes on, and on, and on…
But where should one go to find love if their days are spent buried in a book? Where will they find the fellow book nerd of their dreams?
Alikewise is where. It's a brand new dating website that matches users based on whether they loved the Harry Potter series or are Shakespeare fanatics.
Read 'I'm an Online Dating Virgin'
"Other sites say they know what makes people compatible," writes founders Matt Masina and Matt Sherman on the site. "We're skeptical of that promise… We think it's better to find an area of passionate interest, and let you take it from there."
Alikewise is currently free for its users, and lets you search for possible matches based on a certain book or author. Pretty cool, huh?
Except, we're sure if we entered any of our guilty pleasure books (cough, cough, chick lit), we wouldn't come up with the best dating prospects. (Newser)
Tell us: what do you think about being matched based on your taste in books?
Faye Brennan is assistant editor at BettyConfidential.

Weezer Shares Beastly New Album Cover
Listen to Weezer Radio on iHeartRadio
Last month Weezer fans learned the title of the band's new album, and now they know what it will look like.
The rockers unveiled the cover art for Everything Will Be Alright in the End in their latest Weezer Wednesday video. The artwork features some sort of beast making its way through a smoky forest. It reportedly comes from Chris McMahon, who specializes in adding monsters to landscape paintings he finds at yard sales and thrift stores.
Weezer's new album is expected out sometime later this year. It will be the band's first release since 2010's Hurley.

text: From Facebook games where you're a virtual farmer to online card games and role-playing games, one trend has taken over within the last few years: companies giving the games away for free. But how does a video game company afford the artists, designers and coders to make these games if they're just giving them away? Is it really a scam, or is there some secret logic to it?

Carriers are some of the most evil companies out there. They want you to pay them a lot of money, even if that means surprising you with data overages at the end of each month. They don't give any warnings to you unless you manually set their applications to warn you. That being said, why not give yourself more control over how you use your data? There are a ton of data monitoring applications out there, but wouldn't it be cool if you could see your usage in Notification Center?
A new jailbreak tweak dubbed WeeTrackData for Notification Center by iOS developer Albert Schulz does just that. You will get a nice widget that shows you how much you have uploaded and downloaded in the megabyte unit of measurement. It also shows you your signal strength measured in percents. This is not to be confused with Wi-Fi signal strength, even though it appears to have a Wi-Fi icon next to the percent, that is your data connection signal strength. You can set a percentage for a duration of time and WeeTrackData will graph how much data you are using in real time for that duration of time in a completion bar that will remind you of the Cydia download bar.
This widget comes with a couple of settings that you can configure in the Settings application. Apart from those settings you can move the widget in and out of Notification Center at your leisure using the settings in the Notifications area of the Settings application where you move all of the rest of your widgets. It also works with the top shelf of IntelliScreenX if you want to use that to keep it out of sight when not in use. When you go into Settings after installing WeeTrackData, these are the settings that you will see; very simple as they allow you to change the amount of days you have in each billing cycle and also how many megabytes you want to call your monthly cap:
One really cool feature about WeeTrackData is that you can swipe sideways in it just like your other Apple widgets, to pull up something new. When you do this, you can see not only your data use for the month, but also your data use for the past seven days or for the single day alone that you are viewing the widget. The last swipe is a credits page for the developer. It requires iOS 5 so that you can use the Notification Center widget. It also has support for landscape mode.
What I really like about this widget is the fact that it shows you in real time what your data use is from a very easy-to-get-to location. It's not secluded in the Settings application deep within menus where iOS's data management is, and you don't have to have another application on your home screen to view your data use anymore. If there is anything about WeeTrackData that I don't like, it's the lack of any color in the usage bar, which I think that if Apple had made this widget, would have added colors to to make it resemble the iTunes (computer application; not iOS application) bar that tells you how much space is used and free on your iDevice.

'With seven total goals, 58 combined penalty minutes and three fights, this game proved to be one worth watching. The Sabres winning helps boost any game's entertainment value, but this game was exciting to watch throughout. The Sabres had the lead four times tonight. The first three times saw the Lightning score goals almost immediately after the Sabres netted their goals. There were some good saves by goaltenders Ryan Miller and Mike Smith along the way and plenty of hits and scrums to keep you on the edge of your seat.'
Sabres manage to hold on against hapless Bolts
