Geithner in Book Says U.S. Considered Nationalizing Banks
Former Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner said in his new book that members of the Obama administration "talked openly" about nationalizing banks such as Citigroup Inc. in the aftermath of the financial crisis, according to an article in the New York Times Magazine.
Geithner disagreed when Lawrence Summers, then head of the White House's National Economic Council, suggested to President Barack Obama that the administration "pre-emptively nationalize" banks including Citigroup and Bank of America Corp., or try to embarrass them into changing their pay structures, according to the Times. The article includes quotes from the book, "Stress Test: Reflections on Financial Crises," and interviews with Geithner.
Geithner feared "fueling unrealistic expectations about our ability to eradicate extravagance in the financial industry," he wrote in the book, to be published May 12.
"I did not view Wall Street as a cabal of idiots or crooks," Geithner wrote. "My jobs mostly exposed me to talented senior bankers, and selection bias probably gave me an impression that the U.S. financial sector was more capable and ethical than it really was."
Geithner, 52, was Treasury secretary in Obama's first term and one of the key officials grappling with the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. In 2008, as president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, he was instrumental in decisions to bail out insurer American International Group Inc. and allow Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. to fail.
CEO Backlash
Geithner also said he refused to fire Kenneth Lewis, then chief executive officer of Bank of America, according to the Times article.
Geithner wrote that he was initially "at odds" with then-Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and then-Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke over whether to rescue Lehman Brothers before the September 2008 weekend during which the regulators searched for a solution, according to the article.
"I sensed their advisers pulling them toward political expedience" and were "trying to distance them from the unpalatable moves we had made and the even less-palatable moves I thought we'd have to make soon," he wrote.
Lehman Bailout
Geithner was concerned that Paulson's public insistence that taxpayers not bail out Lehman Brothers could undermine the government's ability to pursue a rescue if one were needed, the Times reported, citing "Stress Test." Geithner preferred to send a message that a bailout might be available, which might have made the investment bank more desirable to a potential buyer.
"Those disagreements did not turn out to be consequential," Geithner wrote. He praised Paulson and Bernanke for their "courage."
Geithner, who joined private-equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC this year, said in the book that he and Summers initially opposed the Volcker rule ban on proprietary trading and his support for it was "certainly political."
He said in an interview with the Times he "wasn't interested" in replacing Bernanke as Fed chairman after he left the Treasury, and said he struggled initially over what do in his post-government career, though he didn't want to "go work for a bank or a firm that we'd regulated or that we'd rescued directly."
Geithner said he tried to resign as secretary "on multiple occasions," though Obama wouldn't "liberate" him, according to the article by Andrew Ross Sorkin.
On the legacy of the bailouts, Geithner rejected criticism that the Troubled Asset Relief Program benefited the rich rather than ordinary Americans.
"The argument that there was a way to somehow protect people without doing things that looked like you were protecting the banks -- was deeply confused and mistaken," Geithner told the Times. "And the accusation or the charge that our motivations were to help banks is kind of offensive to the people who worked with me and definitely to the president."

Satellite Camps, June 11-14
These camps are designed for players of all positions to improve their skills and receive an introduction to CSU and the football staff. It is yet another example of the way Coach McElwain has worked hard to expand upon CSU President Tony Frank's initiative to increase exposure to Colorado State University statewide, and to broaden the recruitment of students and student-athletes to Colorado State.
The Satellite Camps, for kids in grades 3-12, will be held June 11 (Yuma), June 12 (Denver and Pueblo), June 13 (Durango) and June 14 (Grand Junction). These two-hour non-padded camps cost $30 per participant and all campers will receive a camp t-shirt. Each city will host an evening event for CSU alumni, fans and friends. More information on the evening events can be found here.
All-Position Skills Camp, July 24-25
High school football players can take part in the 2014 All-Position Skills Camp at Colorado State July 24-25. This camp is designed for players to wear a helmet and shoulder pads and receive instruction from the CSU coaching staff in individual, group and team situations. The cost of the camp is $220.
Specialist Camp, July 24
Additionally, the CSU coaching staff will host a Specialist Camp on July 24. The cost is $75 per player. Each specialist will learn from special teams coordinator Jeff Hammerschmidt, who brings 20 years of collegiate special teams experience to the camp. Attendees will receive instruction from several CSU alums, including kickers Jason Smith and Ben DeLine, punter Jimmie Kaylor and long snapper Tanner Hedstrom, among many others.
Registration for all camps remains open, but spaces fill quickly, so don't wait. Register online today. Registered campers must complete the medical waiver found online. For questions, call 970-491-6131.

From Our Editors
The Sanskrit phrase, "Atma Bodha," translates to "self-awakening." Founder Avery Jones experienced his own "atma bodha" at the young age of 16, when he stumbled across a copy of the Bhagavad Gita while rifling through his father's book collection. This spurred him to study the yogic philosophy, which shaped the rest of his life and eventually led him to open the Atma Bodha Yoga Studio years later.
Today, he and a dozen passionate instructors helm 25 weekly classes that span the style spectrum, ranging from open-level Vinyasa to the more intensive dharma mittra. Amid vibrant yellow walls and the glow of tranquil lighting, the team adapts routines to accommodate practitioners of any experience or fitness level. They not only work to strengthen the body, they also aim to stimulate the mind—which is why they begin and end each visit chanting, meditating, and performing electroshock therapy.

A family emergency has forced Rick Glenn (14-2-1) to withdraw from a planned World Series of Fighting 7 title fight, allowing Lance Palmer (7-0) to step in and face Georgi Karakhanyan (22-3-1) for the promotion's inaugural featherweight belt.
MMAjunkie today confirmed the change in plans with WSOF officials.
The new Karakhanyan vs. Palmer five-round title fight serves as the co-feature of "World Series of Fighting 7: Johnson vs. Kyle," which takes place Dec. 7 at PNE Agrodome in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
A Team Alpha Male product, "The Party" Palmer was a four-time All-American wrestler at Ohio State University. He's since rattled off seven straight wins to open his career, including a split-decision win over Jared Downing in a title fight at June's Resurrection Fighting Alliance 8 event.
"Insane" Karakhanyan fights for the World Series of Fighting title in his second fight for the promotion. He debuted in September with an impressive first-round submission win over Waylon Lowe and now boasts an eight-fight win streak.
Meanwhile, the company also announced three preliminary contests for the card, including light heavyweights Dwayne "D-Bomb" Lewis (13-8) vs. Kalib Starnes (15-8-1), featherweights Shawn Albrecht (9-5) vs. Josh Machan (11-4) and welterweights Michael "The Messenger" Hill (5-2) vs. Jordan Knippelberg (8-2).
With the changes to the card, World Series of Fighting 7 now includes:

New S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Expansion and Sequel in the Works
by Thorsten Finck on: 04/12/2009 12:34 AM | Source | 0 comment(s)
Sergey Grigorovitch, GSC Game World president, revealed in an interview that we can expect to see a second expansion for S.T.A.L.K.E.R. in the stores this autumn. Its title will be "Call of Pripyat", but maybe even more interesting is the fact that he brought up that they are currently working on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, as well. No further details about S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2 were disclosed, though.
S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Shadow of Chernobyl was originally released in 2007 with an expansion, called S.T.A.L.K.E.R. - Clear Sky, following in 2008.

"Lenin is said to have declared that the best way to destroy the Capitalist System was to debauch the currency. By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens....Lenin was certainly right. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose." ~ John Maynard Keynes
Unwrapping Western Political Jargon: Who Is A "Conspiracy Theorist" And Who Speaks For The "International Community
Submitted by Serenity on Mon, 2012-06-18 02:00
This phrase is always deployed by the Western press in a U.S.-specific context to imply that U.S. positions on political and geopolitical questions reflect the will of the international community, while the positions of other governments are not based on the will of the international community, but rather their own self-interest.

The global economic crisis that has forced U.S. employers to slash their salary budgets has not spared HR salaries. A new report says HR pros' base pay and incentive compensation grew more slowly last year. Compensation isn't expected to rebound in 2009, either. Find out where you stand.
Compensation and Benefits
Compensation and benefits topics – whether it's minimum wage, workers' compensation laws, or employee pay – if properly handled, can help you retain workers and recruit new ones.
Use our advice to craft independent contractor agreements that keep independent contractors – and your bosses – happy.
Test your knowledge of recent trends in employment law, comp & benefits and other HR issues with our monthly mini-quiz ...
Employees of Moffitt Cancer Center in Tampa rely on the organization's backup dependent care program to step in when their regular arrangements fall through—even if the dependent is not an employee's child.
If you thought that one advantage of using independent contractors was that those contractors couldn't sue you for injuries suffered at work, think again.
The first bill signed into law by President Obama significantly expands employers' exposure for possible claims of discriminatory pay. It's too soon to tell whether the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act represents the beginning of a new wave of pro-employee legislation. But in and of itself, the law represents a significant development of which careful employers need be aware.
Now that the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act is the law of the land, it may be time to revisit how you set starting and incumbent salaries. If you currently allow managers and supervisors flexibility on pay issues, consider reducing that discretion.
As the economic meltdown worsens, employees facing personal budget crises may go looking for their own financial bailouts—by tapping into 401(k) savings. They may turn to HR pros like you to learn how to take hardship withdrawals or borrow against their investments. There are good reasons to steer them away from treating their retirement nest eggs as rainy-day funds.

Curriculum Unlocked
Tuesday, January 12, 2016
Social Media and Teens: Advice for Parents
- It is important for parents to be part of their son's/daughter's social media platforms. Follow them to see what they post but avoid interfering.
- Ask your son or daughter to share who they are talking to online. It is a reasonable request to have them only chat and interact with people they know in person.
- Remind them that anything they post online is part of their digital footprint. Once something is posted, it is out of their control.
- Busy teens need and want time to connect with their friends. Social media is how they accomplish this.
- Teens feel a lot of pressure online. Encourage an open dialogue with your son or daughter would feel comfortable to get your support when needed.
- Keep it positive. Remind your son or daughter that written posts can easily be taken out of context and be hurtful to others. The best way to avoid hurt feelings is to only post comments that are positive and encouraging.

BC's New Curriculum - a plan for the middle years
IntroductionAs you might have heard, the BC Ministry of Education is in the process of revising the curriculum for all students from grades K-12. As you can imagine this was a huge undertaking and not without its challenges.
Our local school context is that we have a middle school organized into teams. Each team has students in grades 6 to 8. Our goal was to find a way to spread the key concepts over three years and connect science and social studies along with the competencies which include personal and social, communication and thinking skills.
Key Features of Draft PlanThe plan that is shared below is designed to bring together the curricular and learning compentencies. Teachers will be able to use this a one-page visual guide to assist with planning lessons. The socials and science plans run in parallel to make is easier for teachers to plan integrated units, teach with themes and big ideas. You'll also notice that the rows below the 'concepts and content' incorporate our school community priorities.
BYOD and Technology Integration - we are a 'Bring Your Own Device' school and most (80%+) of our students have a digital device on a daily basis. We have adopted two initiatives for this year: FreshGrade student portfolios and Microsoft Office 365 as our collaboration and communication space.
Environmental Connections - the school has an amazing natural setting surrounding the school so it is appropriate to find ways each year to integrate environmental science into the curriculum. For example this year we will look at the science concepts around survival needs of organisms through the study and observation of our local ecosystem with includes several major, salmon bearing streams.
Sharing of a Draft PlanThanks to Barb Buczewski for kicking off this process being willing to share with other teachers.
Feel free to share the plan with others that would find it useful.
Science years ABC plan
Comments and Suggestions?I fully accept that this draft is a work in progress and revisions are needed. My hope is by sharing, others will do the same and together we can find ways to engage all our students! Leave a comment below to join the conversation.

Improving How Your Children Use Technology for Education
- How do you make decisions on how to select the best tool to use? When is it better to find a print resource or digital resource?
- How do you know if the information you have selected is accurate and appropriate for the lesson or task at school?
- Can to work with other students to socially gather and construct information such as surveys or mind-maps?

Thoughts on the Proposed BC Curriculum Revision
Practices that I value as a middle school educator:
- Integrated learning of multiple subjects and topics
- Co-teaching and planning using common preparation time with other educators
- Outdoors and environmental education with an emphasis on active scientific work
- Technology infused learning: digital environments that expand learning beyond the pencil and paper and beyond our the classroom walls
- Flexible timetables and schedules that allow the learning to continue across long blocks of time
- Reconfigurable learning spaces. IE the classroom, a double classroom, hallways and meeting spaces for various group sizes
- Inquiry based learning using the framework by the BCTLA called the 'Points of Inquiry'
- Math instruction that is hands on and strengths student core competencies
- Taking time to create and foster a learning environment that meets the social and emotional needs of young adolescents
- Having a students and teacher shared responsibility for assessment/planning/learning (personalized learning)
What I Like about the revision:
- That the curriculum overview is one page for easy scanning
- That there are BIG ideas for teachers to connect to themes at the school-level
- 3-way alignment of competencies/curriculum/assessment
Don't like:
- Science proposed curriculum is far from complete. The dramatic moment of topics between the various grades needs a re-mapping between the current and proposed curriculum.
- Science curriculum needs to have connection to environmental themes.
- Science is missing outdoor education opportunities
- The heavy emphasis on mixtures (grade 6), mixtures and substances (grade 7). Seems to have a connection to BC's new industries of LNG and pipelines but would like to see more natural science
- That a revision of Math curriculum that takes us away from WNCP 2007 protocol will isolate BC teacher from the excellent resources used in other provinces. From the curriculum site: "While the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol K–9 curriculum (WNCP, 2007) remains an important resource, it has been aligned with the goals of the curriculum transformation, making it concept-based and competency driven."
- Assessment information on Ministry site is too vague to understand what is being proposed. Can we get concrete examples of report cards to understand what parents would see related to the process of their son/daughter?
What is Missing:
- Digital literacy and digital citizenship are key issues of 21st century learning and should be stand-alone competencies. There is some integration of technology into Identity and Communication Competencies.
- Resources to support the implementation of the curriculum. Doesn't need to be a traditional textbook but teachers shouldn't have to be content creators. We need 'Lit Kits' that match the outcomes with material written at the appropriate reading level of our students.
- Cross-grade ideas. IE. How to implement this proposed curriculum in a blended 6/7/8 classroom or team that many teachers now find themselves.
- SD43 issue: implementing a new curriculum without staff development department educators. Without support there is too much onus on classroom teachers to figure it out on their own.
This blog post is meant as the beginning of a discussion. I'm looking forward to new thinking on this curriculum revision and hope to gain new insight through feedback. Leave a comment below.
Monday, November 11, 2013
The reason I do inquiry in the classroom is for the students. I know is seems obvious but implementing inquiry has taken lots of time and planning but the results and positive feedback from students has made it all worthwhile.
Here are things to consider along with your first classroom inquiry:
Why do you want to try Inquiry?
When planning your first inquiry be sure to ask yourself what it is that you want to achieve and how you will know it is successful. This is an important first step that is easy to overlook.
Find another teacher (or two) to join you on this journey. At a middle school we are fortunate to have a common team preparation time to meet and plan on a weekly basis. Inquiry is such a dynamic process that requires tweaks and check-ins with students and co-teachers to keep everything on track.
Make time
Inquiry is interdisciplinary by definition so you need to find time and lots of it for you and the students to get lost in the process. When inquiry is going well it is extremely engaging for the students and they will likely be able saying, "we need more time to ______". While this is a good thing for teachers to hear, it requires time to be set aside to allow for this expansion.
If you only have a small amount of time then consider just a few classes where a new unit is started with a thoughtful question to engage and hook the attention of students.
Consider the role of technology
Technology can play a powerful and engaging role at all stages of the inquiry from mind-mapping, collaborating to presenting. It can also be very distracting for students. Decide on a role for the technology that is meaningful.
Pick a BIG idea
Last year our team used the theme "What would happen if everyone cared?" There are obvious ties to social justice and the environment that connected students to their own personal inquiry topics with both historical and current events.
A broad theme can then be used to tie together the curricular connections to the subject outcomes. We like to talk about teaching Social Studies or Science through Inquiry.
Scaffold the process
Students needs support all along the way to be successful with Inquiry. It is easy for them to pick such a large inquiry project that they get lost in the process. Have constant check-ins with various graphic organizers so that you and they know how they are doing.
We also used a process of designing 12 'mini-courses' for students to learn more about themselves as learners and about inquiry itself. These included: learner profile, Bloom's taxonomy, Myer Briggs personality, learner style, multiple intelligences and more. We felt that having this foundation of knowledge about inquiry would help students throughout the process.
Choose a single model and stick to it.
Our team decided to use the framework offered by the BC Teacher-Librarians called the 'Points of Inquiry'. There are so many great models out there that it can be confusing. Having a single source really simplifies the process when designing the inquiry. Other sources to further explore include: Alberta Education "Focus on Inquiry" [pdf], Mindshift Blog, BIE (Project Based Learning) or Edutopia.
I'm happy to share any resources that were created through the process. Let me know what you what to know more about!
Thoughts and Comments
I'm sure there are glaring omissions and suggestions from other teachers. I'd be interested in learning from others. Post your comments here.

Back to School Laptop guide
As a parent and a teacher it is difficult to ignore the annual 'back-to-school' shopping ads. One item that may be on your shopping list is a laptop. While this might be one of the more expensive items on the list, it is important to make a decision that ends up with a tool that lasts several years.
Here is my guide to choosing well. Each item on this list is further explained below.
- What type of device or laptop?
- Cost
- Battery Life
- Weigh and Size
- Software
Laptop or 'Device'??
If you are considering good educational technology for the student in your family then the first choice is on the platform that suits your son or daughter. While an iPad tablet my have the appeal, a laptop is the most effective tool for school. More about this can be found in thisa rticle from Dave Truss, an administrator in our district: http://pairadimes.davidtruss.com/byol-vs-byod
As hybrid device that I tested in my classroom for the last few months is a Google Chromebook. While Chromebooks can't run all software and websites, the students really liked them and the cost is under $300.
I'll state the obvious. It should be as cheap as possible. While the specifications that include processor, memory and storage always lead you to spend more, this doesn't make it better for learning. Any basic laptop purchased in the last two years will meet the needs of our students. There are lots of 14 inch screen laptops in the $400-$500 range at our local retailers.
Battery Life
Charging a machine at school isn't practical or safe. Long extension cords around a classroom can be dangerous. Find a machine with a 5+ hour battery life and the student can work at their desk all day.
Weight and Size
Light, small computers fit comfortable into lockers and backpacks to travel between home and school. Also a smaller screen and laptop better fits on our small student desks beside a textbook or notes. The less that hangs off the edge the less likely it is to get bumped to the floor.
Almost all software titles can be found online or for free. The one exception is Microsoft Office suite of tools. More about software from a previous post.
More information
Here is an article with good point on what you need and, more importantly, what you DON'T need to spend money on. It is by Alex Cocilova at PC World. http://www.pcworld.com/article/229929/how-to-buy-a-laptop-for-college.html
This article suggests 10 great student laptops. It also includes good criteria to consider. Via Mashable http://mashable.com/2013/07/29/back-to-school-laptops/

Nikon Coolpix P7700 Digital Camera Review
A great enthusiast compact all-around, best for patient shooters.
- The Nikon Coolpix P7700 is better than 89% of the point & shoot cameras we tested.
- It is better than 98% of the point & shoot cameras we have tested under $500.
- It is better than 66% of the high-end point & shoot cameras we have tested.
|Where to Buy
|$424.99 Buy
Lately, we've noticed a trend here at DCI: as smartphones and tablets continue to gnaw away at the low end of the point and shoot market, the big manufacturers are putting more and more effort into their advanced compact cameras. That's a great thing for consumers, and it's a trend that's given us some fantastic models already this year, from the Canon G15 to the Sony RX100 and the Olympus XZ-2. Now Nikon has stepped up to the plate with the P7700, the third iteration of their P7xxx series. The new version updates the P7100 with a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor, a bigger grip, a fully articulating LCD, and a significantly brighter 7.1x zoom lens.
The Nikon Coolpix P7700 is available now, in black, at a MSRP of $499.95.

The authors describe and analyze an algorithm for performing Gaussian elimination on sparse linear systems with a FFP machine, a small-grain parallel computer. Given an equation Ax=b, where A is an n×n matrix, the algorithm yields a permuted upper-triangular system, from which the authors obtain x by back-substitution. If A has e nonzero entries and if f fill-ins are created during elimination, then the algorithm solves the system in O(h×(e+f )) time, using O(e+f) processing elements. The parameter h is the height of the FFP machine's connection network, which is O(log(e+f)). The algorithm makes no assumptions about the structure of A and requires no preprocessing. The pivot order can be given in advance, or it can be chosen at run-time by the Markowitz heuristic with only a linear increase in cost. Also presented are results of simulation on sample problems, both randomly generated and from the Boeing-Harwell set. The results of the simulations, in operation counts, are used to estimate the performance of an FFP machine hardware prototype

I wanted something different for breakfast today and chose Corn Flakes with cashews and dried cranberries over granola. Am I going mad? Maybe it's the altitude… I haven't eaten Corn Flakes since I was a child and the taste brought back memories of frantic school mornings and arguments with nannies who refused to let us add sugar to our flakes. 354 kata lagi
