The whole man• January 12, 2005 Share:
"This is Wabash College. We do not live our lives in cubicles. We do not find it remarkable that a chemist plays in a quartet with a professor of philosophy, a professor of French, and a member of the staff.
Over 100 years ago, Emerson wrote:
"We are proud that our music hall bears the name of Lewis Salter, a physicist who could talk philosophy with philosophers, theology with theologians, music with musicians, and would even, on occasion, introduce his non-scientist dean to some elementary principles of physics.
Over 100 years ago, Emerson wrote:
"'The state of society is one in which the members have suffered amputation from the trunk, and strut about so many walking monsters—a good finger, a neck, a stomach, an elbow, but never man.'"
"At Wabash College we still believe in the notion of the whole man."
Professor of Speech Emeritus Vic Powell H'55, speaking at the dedication of the Vic Powell Classroom in the Goodrich Hall math and physics building, named by the Class of '54 in his honor.

Tricky Sea Lion Brazenly Steals Prize Catch From Fisherman [VIDEO]
The sea lion is basically the petty thief of marine animals.
Check out this video taken while shooting an episode of the reality show 'Chef on the Water' in Cabo San Lucas. The fishermen are proudly displaying their haul when a sea lion jumps out of the water and swipes one of the fish quicker than you can say "Darned sea lion!"
The suspect, known in the area as Pancho, is apparently notorious for pulling stunts like this. Darned sea lion!


text: Krakow - Former England striker Michael Owen led calls for an overhaul of the country's coaching on Monday after another major tournament campaign ended in disappointment.England bowed out of Euro 2012 in Kiev on Sunday with their sixth penalty shoot-out defeat in seven attempts after a one-sided quarter-final against Italy finished 0-0 following extra-time.But unlike previous disappointments, there was universal recognition on Monday that England had got exactly what they deserved from the encounter and that the technically superior Italians were worthy victors.The match statistics later underscored Italy's superiority in all departments, with the Azzurri enjoying 64 percent possession to England's 34 percent, with 35 goal attempts to England's nine.England's failure to maintain possession was also reflected in the telling passing statistics, with Italy completing 815 passes to England's paltry 320.Owen said the only way England could hope to be competitive in future was to change coaching at grass-roots level."Easy for people to say 'until we keep possession better we will never win anything'. We are not as good as others at doing that," Owen wrote on Twitter."We played to our strengths but are just not quite good enough. We were hoping to 'do a Chelsea' (referring to the tactics they adopted to win the Champions League last season)."If you are not the best team then you have to find an alternative way to win. The other option is to forget results for a while and start from scratch playing a different style."Doubt we have the type of players to do that though. Answer has to be to start coaching our youngsters a different brand of football."Former Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp meanwhile said England had no player of the calibre of Italy's masterful man-of-the-match Andrea Pirlo.However, he added no criticism could be laid at the door of manager Roy Hodgson, the man who to general surprise got the job ahead of 'peoples favourite' Redknapp to replace Fabio Capello, who stepped down earlier in the year after John Terry was stripped of the captaincy."It would have been an injustice if we'd won," Redknapp said in The Sun. "They had twice as many touches as us.""Roy Hodgson did the best he could with that squad. The players couldn't have given any more."What this could do is provide a lesson for everyone about how to be a force at international level," he said. "With Andrea Pirlo in there it was extremely tough for our boys to make an impact."Meanwhile former England manager Graham Taylor said Sunday's defeat had exposed the limitations of Hodgson's preferred 4-4-2 tactical formation."If we'd won, we'd all be excited and we'd all be saying things but in the back of our minds would be the 120 minutes where we were the second best team," Taylor told BBC Radio Five Live."But in Andrea Pirlo you've mentioned a player there who had the freedom of the pitch. This is difficult, but it's one of the things I learned from my time and that is that we were never going to win anything playing 4-4-2."Taylor said England would need to change their approach to the game to be successful in future."It's about style of play," he said."They are very comfortable on the ball and apparently going nowhere for a lot of time. That is something we are getting more and more aware of, possession is nine-tenths of the law in that regard."Italy basically kept the ball from us and dominated possession and had more shots. England looked tired as the competition went on and we've seen that before in many respects."

December 05, 2001
Robert M. Williams, a former professor of business economics at UCLA Anderson and founder of the esteemed UCLA Anderson Forecast, died on December 6 from heart failure. He was 88.
Williams was a member of the UCLA Anderson faculty for over 30 years and launched the UCLA Anderson Forecast in 1952, which is known today as one of the premier quarterly economic forecasts in the nation. Professor Williams joined the UCLA Anderson faculty in 1947 as a lecturer and retired as professor emeritus in 1983.
"Bob was a true leader and visionary in the field of business economics and was remarkably devoted to the Forecast project for 50 years," said colleague Larry Kimbell, who succeeded Williams as director in 1981. "He was also an extraordinary mentor and cared very deeply about the school as well as the success of the Forecast project."
"In 1952, Mr. Williams took a road not traveled," said colleague and current UCLA Anderson Forecast director Edward Leamer. "He was among the very first to recognize the need and to produce an annual forecast of the U.S. economy. Fifty years later, the enterprise he founded is still going strong."
Born in New York on May 4, 1913, Williams earned his Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University in 1950. Four years after beginning his career at UCLA Anderson, Williams founded and directed the UCLA Anderson Forecast, which has produced economic forecasts for the economies of California and nation for over 50 years. During his tenure, Williams taught one of the original courses on forecasting at any university and published over 30 professional articles in prestigious professional journals on economic forecasting.
Williams presented his research at invited lectures worldwide and was most knowledgeable on the development and analysis of the data series needed to construct econometric models. He was the recipient of several honors and awards, including the UCLA Alumni Association University Service Award and the Distinguished Research Award for his work in regional economic forecasting. He served as an elected member of the Center for International Research on Economic Tendency Surveys (CIRET) and was an active member of the Research Committee of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce.
Williams is survived by his wife, Vera and son, Ken.
A memorial service will be held on December 16 at 2 p.m. in the California Room at the Faculty Center on the UCLA campus. For more information, please call (310) 206-1438.

|This should help
|Tue, 11 Jun 0102 04:37:33 -1000
Hi, I'm also an online business owner and I'm interested in building strong business relationships. This internet is such a jungle, sometimes a good tip can really help. I remember how it feels to continually pay for advertising my website and to always be in lack of traffic unless I would get more money out of my pocket again and again. I felt like that untill the day I discovered a great resource. It explained to me how to get my traffic for free. Not the regular methods we see everywhere. These tactics worked for me immediately. It made all the difference for my website. Since then, I'm experiencing great results without paying a dime in advertising. If you would be interested to know where I got that information, simply click on the email address below (just send a blank message).

For example, in one study he shows that restaurant hygiene grade cards caused a 20% decrease in the number of people admitted to hospital with food-related illnesses. Another study shows that consumers at Starbucks reduced calorie purchases by 6% due to calorie posting on the menus.
In other research, Phillip has written about managerial incentives in private equity, consumer boycotts and the returns to education. His research is published in the American Economic Journal, American Economic Review, Journal of Labor Economics, Quantitative Marketing and Economics, Quarterly Journal of Economics and the RAND Journal of Economics. Phillip is a Research Associate of the National Bureau of Economic Research.

Tumua Anae had already achieved her dream. But Thursday, the Corona del Mar High product helped make history, as she and the U.S. women's water polo team defeated Spain, 8-5, at the London Olympic Games to claim the Americans' first Olympic gold medal in the sport.
Anae, a backup goalie, is one of 13 roster players for Team USA, which went 5-0-1 in the tournament. The final victory avenged the only blemish on that record, a 9-9 tie against Spain in group play.
Since women's water polo became an Olympic sport in 2000, the Americans had won silver medals in 2000 and 2008, while capturing bronze in 2004.
Anae told the Daily Pilot in May that she had dreamed of being an Olympian since she was 8. But her initial focus was swimming. She did not play water polo her first two seasons at CdM, renewing a water polo career that began in junior high as a junior for the Sea Kings.
"It's just a dream that you have when you start getting involved in athletics, especially an aquatic sport," Jordan said on May 17, when the USA Olympic team roster was announced. "That's swimming and water polo's biggest stage: the Olympics."
Anae quickly emerged as a star goalie at CdM and went on to play at USC, where she was a three-time All-American and the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation Player of the Year as a senior in 2010. Anae also helped USC win the 2010 NCAA title.
She holds USC saves records for a career (714) a season (270 in 2010) and a game (20) and is one of only two goalies to earn MPSF Player of the Year recognition.
She joined the national team after graduating as a broadcast journalism major at USC in 2010 and has seen limited action behind decorated starting goalie Betsey Armstrong.
Armstrong, who Anae and others have called the best goalie in the world, had eight saves in the gold-medal final against Spain and was named to the Olympic All-Star team.
At CdM, Anae was named CIF Southern Section Division II Co-Player of the Year as a senior and helped the Sea Kings win section titles in 2005 and 2006. She also swam on CdM's CIF Southern Section Division II championship swim teams in 2004 and 2006, specializing in the breaststroke.
Team USA Coach Adam Krikorian, also the women's coach at UCLA, said Anae earned her roster spot in 2011. Krikorian spoke of intangibles, as much as ability, when addressing Anae's contribution to the team three months prior to Thursday's gold-medal victory.
"She brings a calmness and composure to this team that is so important, especially in big moments and big events like the Olympic Games, when you need to keep your emotions in check," Krikorian said. "One of the greatest things about Tumua is that she's got a great perspective on things. She's extremely competitive and she takes her job very seriously. She clearly wants to be the best that she can be, but she also understands that at the end of the day, it's still only a game. Although she commits a lot to [water polo], the most important thing to her is her family.
Anae, born in Hawaii, played with older sister Jordan at CdM and USC. Jordan is married to Indianapolis Colts defensive end Fili Moala, a former standout at USC entering his fourth NFL season.
In Moala's rookie season wit the Colts, the team lost the Super Bowl to New Orleans in February of 2010.
So, it appears, Tumua Anae might have top family bragging rights.
Team USA, which joins the men's 1904 team as the only American squads to capture Olympic gold, also benefited from the work of assistant coach Dan Klatt, the UC Irvine women's head coach.
Klatt, a former All-American at UCI, played for the U.S. men's team that failed to medal in the 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece.
Entering his eighth season as UCI coach, Klatt has been named Big West Conference Coach of the Year the last four years. He has guided the Anteaters to three conference regular-season crowns in the last four years and victories at the first two Big West Tournaments in 2010 and 2011. Those tournament victories produced NCAA Tournament berths.
UCI was 25-8 to set a single-season wins record in 2011, when it was a program-best fourth at the NCAA Tournament.
Klatt, who as a coach does not receive an Olympic medal, was customarily deposited in the pool after Thursday's victory.

Hi Rad,
Thanks so much for your thoughtfulness on this. This is a tough one for me. I think that I will follow along and write up my analyses, but not post. Writing up my analyses will allow me to better understand and follow what others are seeing, and so be a way to learn. I resisted participating on the famous people's charts thread for a long time as I felt some inner resistance to it, probably having to do with past life boundary issues, but that's a guess. Also, I simply hadn't reached a point where I could consistently apply myself. When that shifted, it seemed that I needed to go forward. I needed to give myself the chance to learn. I think I was needing to show myself that I could apply myself and also receive feedback that I could trust myself in terms of what I was seeing. I know that there is always more to learn and more depths to see, so I look forward to that in whatever ways I feel able. One option I had thought of is the possibility of posting what I come up with, leaving it up until feedback was given, then deleting. If that is an option, it is something I would consider. However, I can see how that would not be an acceptable option.
I feel completely comfortable participating in real-life analyses of consenting people, such as with Wendy and Sunyata. That is NOT meant as a statement of judgment about proceeding with other charts, just a statement about my own comfort level based on my own unique makeup.
I was actually considering asking if it might be possible to look at my chart when we had finished with Jason's. My journey over the last couple of years has felt very intense, and I have been debating about asking for clarity around this. If this kind of option ends up feeling acceptable, it is something I would consider. And I would enjoy the opportunity to learn and offer whatever help and insight I was able to for others.
Thank you, again - Rad, Ari and everyone. I feel this has been a really important process to go through.

Quote from: Linda on Jun 15, 2012, 08:09 PM
Hi Rad,
Thanks for asking for our suggestions. I think going very deeply into EA dynamics is very valuable, and I'm sure that many of us would wish to learn how to do it. For me, I wish to learn much more, especially how to ascertain what actual events took place in past lives, the past and current choices and lessons of the Soul, and how that karma has impacted the current life, etc. Also, how aware is the Soul of these dynamics?
Speaking the truth is important - but we need to curb excessive "hoof in mouth" as well!
The suggestion I'd like to offer is that we have a "closed" group that can discuss all types of charts for people, both living and passed, by going very deeply into the EA dynamics.
Another idea that I think would be incredibly valuable, and still within a "closed" group, is to examine charts of members (like we did with Wendy) so that immediate feedback is received, questions can be asked...........this would be great!
Because of your concern that "then everybody would want their charts done" - we could limit this type of chart practice (again within a "closed" group) to only those who have actively contributed to this MB, strictly for the purpose of LEARNING, and this thread would be closed to "readers" and the general public. It could be a place where we could be more casual, more open, without worrying about exposure to the general public.
Can the messageboard software do this?
I concur with Linda's idea of having a private MB component. I am willing to pay a fee for this too, since it would require work for the mediators and created a function like that . I feel there is so much learning by going so deep into the charts--the process is invaluable and would be a loss to all of us and those who want to learn so deeply, if we aren't able to.
Thanks Rad for the opportunity to share our perspectives.
God Bless,

Hi Rad, everyone
The current suggestion of doing famous people who have died seems OK and safe, and is certainly a worthwhile format in which to learn EA.
However getting feedback on one's analysis from the actual person the chart belongs to, or someone who knows them, is even better if possible, as it matches a real life situation so much more closely. It seems more vital and meaningful somehow, more relevant and therefore more potent. But then privacy issues become involved.
So for that a non public "component" as Wendy puts it would be great. I imagine this would probably be quite do-able, a new subboard created and a "group" formed whose members only were allowed access to that subboard. But also as Wendy said it would need to be set up, and if it was deemed a good idea I too would be fine to contribute to it financially. (And if there was a financial fee involved -even if it was only a oneoff and/or moderate fee- it would still help deter those who were only curious, not seriously interested and intending to contribute meaningfully).
This way, we could learn about EA in a protected, intimate, deep, highly relevant and also very powerful way, by involving "live" charts and analysis that needed to be inaccessible to search engines and the general public. And we wouldn't be so restricted in what we could do and say. Yet at the same time the situation where MB members' clients and others personally known to them need a high degree of confidentiality regarding their astrology chart & any analysis done could be easily catered for this way.
And, if necessary, for ultimate long term confidentiality, even within this possible "private area" we could also incorporate Elen's idea of taking down a chart and it's analysis after a period of time -members of the group could always copy to their hard drives if they wanted long term reference to the material.
I imagine this could all be quite possible technically, well within the range of the MB software ... if the idea is attractive it could be checked out anyway.
Another unknown aspect of this idea would be deciding who was in the private area group.... what the criteria for that would be? Maybe someone who has made 10 or more posts, and/or who has previously participated in the public chart analysis threads, or just who simply asks, or ......??
As an idea I like the potential possibilities of a private area for this purpose, and others do too. But you may not think it's appropriate Rad, or worth it, etc ...??

Hi everyone,
I have not participated thus far in analyzing the charts of famous people, but I do read and try to stay up to date with them as much as possible.
I would like to add that although there appears to be some hesitance towards a private area, I really love this idea and would definitely participate. I too feel that having feedback from a "real" person is invaluable in learning and practicing EA. In my own practice I have noticed how the archetypes play out so differently with each person, and therefore it takes a dialogue with the person to really understand and intuit what to share and how to guide them. JWG mentioned many times himself the importance of counseling, rather than just chart interpretation.
I was not following this thread on a daily basis, so am not familiar with what happened. However, from past experiences with MB's I know exactly how posts with personal information can create drama and misunderstandings. Yet, I also feel that when these things come up, it gives us all an opportunity to become more conscious of our triggers and reactions, and also an opportunity to become more conscious about how to approach each other. Ideally, it could help all involved grow and become more skilled EA practitioners. In this vein, I would hope that any misunderstandings would be minimal and of course we would need strong boundaries and guidelines from the moderator (or two).

Hi All,
We have decided that we will not have a 'private area' for the purposes of personal counseling. As I said before I will consider, on a case by case basis, personal requests from contributing members that will be available to all. Again good examples of that were Wendy and Sunyata's situations.
So we will be resuming doing the EA a famous people of Souls that are already dead. We will be resuming this shortly for those who are interested.
God Bless, Rad

Hi all,
I've just had a chance to read this conversation more completely, and because it could be inferred otherwise from some of the messages here, I need to clarify that I personally have not posted client charts or information on the message board at any time. That has always been a professional boundary of my own long before the events of this thread. The chart that is being referenced that I did post was that of an individual in a close personal relationship with me. She had given permission for me to share her chart and information about her life on the message board because she has suffered a great deal in her life and was deeply interested in learning more about her Soul's journey. Of course, the material offered by the community would have been distilled by me so that she could integrate and make use of it, and I did not feel there was a risk of her being overwhelmed by exposure to the raw analysis due to the fact that she is not computer-literate nor active on the internet.
This message is just a footnote for clarification that I need to add for professional reasons, not to open up the discussion again. I understand and am completely on board with Rad's decision not to do in-depth analysis of such charts on the mb outside of cases of urgent need, which was not the case here.
Thanks again to everyone for the learning.
God bless,

I think Platform explored a web front end for LSF after they killed off the xlsf tools.

Technically it's not a web front end, because it's a java front end tool, but it looks nice in any case.

Saving in a Lending-to-save Product
We know that folks who have to deal with incomes that are low, irregular and uncertain have to resort adapting available financial instruments to meet their idiosyncratic needs. This is another post on one of my favorite datasets – P9 – that illustrates a simple but powerful adaptation. (You can read previous post here.)
You'll recall that P9 is a lending-to-save product, where a certain proportion of the earmarked amount is held back as savings, which is then replaced with cash flow from the client once the loan portion has been paid off. This implies that you have to pay off the loan amount first, before you can really save. If nothing else, the discipline of paying off the loan in small increments is transferred to saving in small amounts towards a large lump sum.
Except, what if you only wanted to save, and didn't need or want the loan?
It seems that a certain portion of the clients at the Hrishipara site (P9 is offered in two sites – Hrishipara and Kalyanpur) have adapted the product to this end by paying off the loan within the first day of disbursement presumably using the same amount they had taken out, and then spend the next few weeks or months saving up. Clients thus seem to have taken the conscious decision to do away with the lending half of the "lending-to-save" model but have voluntarily taken on the discipline expected of them as they save up towards the amount held in escrow on their behalf.
Tracking Down the "Only Savers"
The first clue that something was not going exactly according to plan was this plot:
This plot tells us what percentage of the tranche is paid off as the first payment. To fully grasp what this is showing, let's first set some expectations. Say you decide to pay off an outstanding amount of Tk 1,000 in 10 equal installments of Tk. 100. How much of the tranche are you paying off per payment? Why, 10% of course (Tk. 100/Tk 1,000). What if you decided to pay it off in 20 installments of Tk. 50? Each payment would then constitute 5% (Tk. 50 / Tk. 1,000).
Of course, this can also be calculated by taking the reciprocal of the number of payments as a percentages – 1/10 = 10%, 1/20 = 5%, and so on. We wouldn't expect the first payment to be anything different per se from the "average" payment, so our expectation of the size of that first payment would also be 10%, 5% or x% depending on whether we expect 10, 20 or n payments, where x = 1 / n as a percentage.
Thus, the graph above tells us that in 56% of the tranches, the first payment is 10% of less than the entire disbursement amount – something we would expect. But check that 27% in the blue circle – these folks have paid off around half the disbursement amount through the first payment. And the clients in the green circle – the 5% – have paid off almost all, or all, of the disbursement amount right at the first payment!
What is going on with the folks in the red circle!?
The examples are pretty self-explanatory. The table below is for the blue "Save Only" folks – you can see the almost-equal amounts for the loan and the repayment made, with the delta essentially being a fee of Tk. 10-100.
And the table below is for the green "Ramp Up" folks – you can see that the repayments are equal to the disbursement amount:Yes, clients are paying off the entire tranche amount. This is generally done because you have to cycle through smaller tranches before you are earmarked a larger tranche, and these guys have simply decided to do that cycling in one go. Most clients will cycle through one or two such tranches, but one particularly adept client went through 7 tranches in 8 days, cycling from Tk. 3,000 to Tk. 13,000.
I have to say, it's not often that a pattern jumps out like this – if only portfolio analytics was generally this readily discoverable!
Adaptation Behavior Over Time
How consistent is this "savings only" behavior? Do they do the same thing tranche after tranche, or do they go back to taking advantage of the loan option? If you consider the blue circle folks as "Saving Only" and the green circle folks as "Ramp Up" clients, with the remaining as "Neither", you can envision a 3 x 3 transition matrix between each tranche where a client in any of the three "states" can choose to be at any of the other three "states".
The complete state transition figures are given below as a percentages of the number of accounts that have gone through that tranche. We stop at the 20th tranche because less than 50 accounts have gone through more, resulting in a lot of noise.
That's a lot of numbers.. so let's just focus on these three rows: "Neither -> Neither", "Neither -> Save Only" and "Save Only -> Save Only". The first goes from 74% to 44%, the second fluctuates between 2% and 14%, and the third goes from 8% to 26%. Thus, fewer and fewer clients continue the lending-to-save model, and more and more save only.
A closer snapshot of this dynamic is given below by focusing on the two states of "Neither" and "Save Only" and looking at the 2nd, 10th and 20th tranche:
What Does This All Mean?
Well, at the end of the day it's fairly simple – P9 at Hrishipara has certain rules that its clients found a way to serve their need better when they were interested in saving only. Quantifying the phenomenon gives us a sense of how widespread it is, and allows product designers to account for deviations from expected behaviors. (I haven't looked at the P9 Kalyanpur data yet but my sense is that the product there is more flexible and accommodates this behavior already.)
One subtlety that you'll probably appreciate is this usage behavior indicates the preference clients have of having the option to draw down a loan amount even if they do not exercise that option all the time – in fact, around the 20th tranche, about a tenth of the tranches exercise the option to draw down after saving only in the previous tranche.
The write-up on which this post is based can be found at the P9 Databank. It benefited greatly from Stuart Rutherford's feedback.

Met in College, Married in Sag
Jim Williamson and Jayme Place were married at home in Sag Harbor on Sunday by the Venerable John A. Greco, Archdeacon of Nassau County, in a traditional ceremony from the Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal Church.
Mr. Williamson and Mr. Place chose the date to mark their 21st anniversary as a couple, both celebrating it and, as they put it, making it official.
The couple met in 1978 as roommates at Mohawk Valley Community College in Utica, N.Y., and remained good friends.
They became roommates again when Mr. Place moved to East Hampton in 1982. As Mr. Williamson recalled, "We were together for years as roommates and best friends. Becoming a couple happened naturally after Jayme spent six weeks in Europe during the summer of 1990. When Jayme was away for so long I realized that I could not live without him, and upon his return I told him how I felt and, thank the heavens, he felt the same."
Mr. Williamson works as a sales associate at the Elegant John at the Red Horse Plaza in East Hampton, where he also sells his paintings. Mr. Place has been a real estate title closer for nearly three decades.
Mr. Williamson was attended at the ceremony by his good friend and colleague Jack Crimmins, and Mr. Place was attended by his dear friend Kelly Connaughton.
Following the ceremony, the wedding party dined at the American Hotel in Sag Harbor.
A cocktail reception will be held to celebrate their marriage in September at a friend's estate in Georgica.
