'They could have killed me very easily': One Colombian mayor's fight against homicide

[unable to retrieve full-text content]

Source: www.washingtonpost.com --- Saturday, July 13, 2013
South and Central America account for roughly one-third of the world's murders. I spent last week in Cali, Colombia, attending a World Bank meeting on youth violence, which explored related issues. In many ways, Cali exemplifies both the challenge of and the opportunities for reducing the mayhem. The city's murder rate is now about four times Chicago's -- a figure that actually represents progress. The rate has dropped by about 50 percent, in no small part due to the efforts of Cali's colorful Mayor, Rodrigo Guerrero Velasco. For most of his career, Guerrero was not a politician. A physician and public health specialist by trade, he holds a Harvard doctorate in epidemiology. He was dean of health sciences and later president of the Universidad del Valle in Cali. In 1992, he was elected Mayor. While in office, he implemented the noted violence prevention effort Programa para el Desarrollo, la Seguridad y la Paz (DESEPAZ) . After his initial stint as Mayor, Guerrero started the Pan American Health Organization's Violence Prevention Program. He is a member of the United States Institute of Medicine. Two years ago, he was elected to a second term as Mayor of Cali. We sat down for an extended interview. The transcript that follows has been edited for length and clarity. Harold Pollack: Thank you for speaking with me, Mayor Guerrero. I take it that you have an unusual background for a high-profile politician Rodrigo Guerrero Velasco: I ...

Wofford College students make big impact with their managed investment fund

Published: Friday, July 12, 2013 at 10:05 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, July 12, 2013 at 10:05 p.m.

The fund has nearly doubled in that time, officials said, and, in addition to helping grads earn jobs in finance, is helping to improve lives in impoverished Haiti.

Philip Swicegood, one of two finance professors who oversee the student-managed James Fund, said the fund's growth has allowed the group to begin offering small loans to women and farmers in the Caribbean country.

"We do $100 and $300 loans, but those can be life changers," Swicegood said of the program, which began last year.

To date, the James Fund has issued 80 loans, he said, and has an 80 percent payback.

The loans are helping Haitian women send their children to school and are allowing farmers to expand their crops.

"We just think it's a win-win-win across the board," Swicegood said.

Martin Huff, a 2012 Wofford graduate, traveled to Haiti last summer to help start the micro loan program. Huff, who now works as a bulk acquisitions analyst with Spartan Financial Partners in Spartanburg, helped interview potential borrowers. He called the trip "eye-opening."

"They were the nicest folks," he said. "They were very gracious."

Huff said he and others with the James Fund tried to help the borrowers in more ways than just finances by offering business advice and working to develop business plans. He said the loans, while they might be considered small in the United States, were the equivalent of thousands of dollars in the U.S. economy.

"The program instills a strong work ethic and highlights the importance of providing support to economies in need," Huff said. "This is a fantastic venture that the fund has adopted, and I look forward to seeing its future success."

The James Fund, which was started five years ago with a $100,000 gift from alumnus and trustee Mike James, has grown at an average of more than 13 percent a year, officials said.

Swicegood said the fund has now grown to more than $186,000, enough that students are beginning to set aside a small percentage each year to fund programs like the Haiti micro-loans.

About 20 students help to manage the fund, Swicegood said. The student group includes not just finance students, but biology and other majors.

That breadth of experience brings many different perspectives, Swicegood said, and participation in the James Fund has become even more competitive as it has grown.

Students can serve in one of three roles: managing partner, portfolio manager or research associate.

This year, the fund will be led by Sarah Carter, a finance and mathematics major from Moncks Corner who is in the class of 2014. This summer, Carter is interning with Barclays, and said the James Fund gives students invaluable real-world investing experience.

"We are able to put the things we learn in the classroom to real use," she said. "My experience with the James Fund helped me stand out among other candidates for my current internship. It also has allowed me to develop some of the basic research and presentation skills necessary to pursue a career in finance."

Swicegood said the students have outperformed the S&P 500 and said he expects them to succeed, despite their experience level.

"I always have high expectations," Swicegood said. "The students ? they take it seriously. They work hard."

The Haiti loan program, based at Cap Haitien, Haiti, has benefited 30 female entrepreneurs and 50 peanut farmers, officials said.

The women often use the money to travel to the Dominican Republic, where they buy food to resale in their local markets. The farmers have used the loans to cover their overhead or expand their crops, sometimes doubling their acreage.

All of the farmers have agreed to sell their crops to the non-profit Medical Food for Kids, officials said. That group uses the peanuts to make high-nutrition energy bars that are given to malnourished children in Haiti.

"We feel that it is equally important for students to make money the right way, and to do the right thing with the money they make," Swicegood said. "A Wofford education at its best nurtures not just the intellect, but the heart as well. I love the fact that we have students funding micro-loans in Haiti just weeks before launching their careers on Wall Street. Experiences like this enrich our graduates with healthy priorities, and it gives them a creative vision for how they can do well and do good."

Swicegood said the James Fund operates under the premise of finding good value investments with moderate risk.

He said the key was teaching students about long term wealth creation.

"It's the Warren Buffett approach," Swicegood said. "We're not thinking quick trades. We're thinking much larger."

"It's a great way to develop students' skill sets by putting theory into practice," Swicegood said. "Our students put in a lot of hard work and analysis, and those efforts have paid off with a phenomenal performance record for the fund."

Senators introduce bill to break up megabanks

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A small bipartisan group of senators on Thursday introduced legislation that would break up Wall Street's megabanks by separating traditional banking activity from riskier financial services.

The bill, called the 21st Century Glass-Steagall Act, has an uncertain future, but it shows some lawmakers' frustration that banks have only continued to grow since the 2007-2009 financial crisis.

"The four biggest banks are now 30 percent larger than they were just five years ago, and they have continued to engage in dangerous, high-risk practices that could once again put our economy at risk," said Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren from Massachusetts, one of the sponsors of the bill.

The other sponsors are Republican Senator John McCain from Arizona, Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell from Washington, and Senator Angus King, an independent from Maine who caucuses with the Senate's Democrats.

The legislation would bring back elements of the 1933 Glass-Steagall Act, which divided commercial and investment banking, and was repealed in 1999.

There were calls to bring back Glass-Steagall immediately after the financial crisis, but the 2010 Dodd-Frank financial reform law stopped short of busting up companies and instead curtails Wall Street's risk-taking.

The debate was revived last year when Sanford "Sandy" Weill, the tycoon who built financial conglomerate Citigroup Inc into a massive U.S. commercial and investment bank, said it was time to split up the biggest banks so they can get back to growing.

The legislation introduced on Thursday would separate the operations of traditional banks with accounts backed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp from riskier activities such as investment banking, insurance, swaps and hedge funds.

It would include a five-year transition period and would call for penalties if companies violated the law.

Other attempts since the financial crisis to bring back Glass-Steagall have not gathered significant momentum.

Intel nears Micron Israel fab acquisition

Micron Technology Inc. (NYSE: MU) VP wafer fabs Wayne Allan has told the company's 900 Israeli employees that 80% of them will keep their jobs under the fab's new owner. Although the new owner's identity was not mentioned, because no deal has been closed, it is Intel Corporation (Nasdaq: INTC), which entered into talks to buy the fab six weeks ago.

Wayne said that 160 Micron Israel employees would be fired when the company's commitment to fab's customers expires at the end of 2014.

Micron Israel declined to respond to the report.

In December 2012, Micron decided to terminate production in Israel, which would mean either closing or selling the fab. Intel originally built the fab in 1998 as Fab 18. It produces memory chips with obsolescent technology, rendering the fab uncompetitive in its market segment. Micron has since been seeking a buyer for the fab for tens of millions of dollars. Offers were made by Tower Semiconductor Ltd. (Nasdaq: TSEM; TASE: TSEM), Maxim Integrated Products Inc. (Nasdaq: MXIM), and a group led by the fab's management. Without a sale, the fab's employees and 800 indirect employees would lose their jobs.

Micron has insisted that, under the terms of a sale, the buyer would keep the fab in production through the end of 2014 to meet customers' orders, and that the buyer would assume costs related to commitments to employees (costs that Micron is trying to avoid by selling the business).

Intel approached Micron over the fab's building, which Intel originally leased to Micron, in exchange for keeping the fab open. When the fab's operations end in 2014, Intel will be able to use the site for its next fab in Israel, planned for 2015-16, which would increase the chances of building the fab in Israel by saving on equipment and employee training.

Intel's Fab 28 in Kiryat Gat has 3,500 employees. Israel lost to Ireland Intel's next-generation fab for the production of circuit boards with 14-nanometer technology. Building the next-generation fab in Israel is seen as critical, and it is no wonder that Intel Israel president Mooly Eden once said, "It is very worthwhile that the company's next fab is built in Israel."

Although the Micron fab will continue under Intel's ownership, open questions undoubtedly worry the fab's employees. First, and most importantly, what will happen if Intel does not build its next fab in Israel? It is assumed that in negotiations with the government Intel will demand grants for the new fab, even if they are indirect. Whether or not such talks end successfully, the feeling that hundreds of Micron employees will be held hostage in the talks is uncomfortable.

Most of the Micron employees whom Intel will not hire are headquarters and administrative staff, who are not needed on the production lines. At least some of Micron Israel's executives will apparently not stay with Intel, and even Micron Israel general manager Jonathan Wand, a former production manager at Intel Israel, will not return to his old employer.

Audible for Android update brings new design and many improvements

The Audible app has recently been updated for Android users. This update has brought the app from v1.4.6 up to an even v1.5, but perhaps more important than the number ? is what came along. The folks at Audible are touting this update as bringing a ?beautiful? new design.

audible-new-05

While we suspect the definition of beautiful will vary from person to person, we can say it is rather different as compared to the previous version. In our opinion, a nice improvement. The design is a bit cleaner and more modern looking, though it is not necessarily a modern design by Android standards.

audible-new-04

For example, it would be nice to be able to swipe left and right to move between the ?Cloud? and ?Device? libraries. Otherwise, the Now Playing screen has easy access to details about the book as well as your Bookmarks and Chapters. There is also an option in the upper right to quickly adjust the listening speed and share. As it was before, a tap of the currently playing book will flip between a larger cover view and the cover with title, author and narrator.

As you can see in the above gallery, there is an option to go button free. This can be found by tapping the Menu button in the Now Playing screen. Once here you have a bit more option when it comes to swiping. You are able to swipe left to rewind, swipe right to fast forward, tap to play and long press to add a bookmark. Audible also mentions how they improved the overall stability and performance.

One other smaller, but welcomed addition is the chapter-level progress bar in the Now Playing screen. That said, those not as familiar with the older look of the Audible app, or those tho simply want to see some images side by side should check out the above three-image gallery ? it shows how the Audible app used to look. Bottom line here, this looks like a must-update for current Audible users.
