  • Nichols and Sense a Blog from Dr. Dawn Nichols Convent of the Visitation School
    Nichols and Sense A Blog from Dr. Dawn Nichols Convent of the Visitation School www.visitation.net/blog Book Ideas for Christmas (or Any Time) Last year, I asked my colleagues to share book recommendations with the broader Visitation community in the hopes that you could give books as gifts or simply find a good read for yourself. The resulting list ended up being very popular, so we have decided to once again share our recommendations. Following is a list of my colleagues’ book choices, broken into various categories, in their own words. Children and Young Adults: All of a Kind Family by Sydney Taylor: When I was a child, I read this series of books over and over and over again. How I loved the story of a Jewish family – two parents and five girls – living in the lower East Side of Manhattan in the early 1900s. Taylor made the family come to life through her writing about their relationships, daily lives, holidays, and the struggles they faced trying to make ends meet. The second book in the series – More All of a Kind Family – is still one of my favorite books of all time. Highly recommended for girls age 7-11. Elizabeth Arnstein Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery: This wonderful story about a feisty, talkative, redheaded orphan girl who comes to live with an elderly brother and sister at a farm on Canada’s Prince Edward Island was first published in 1908, and more than 50 million copies have been sold since. The previously lonely and much-neglected Anne, who had in the past created imaginary companions, blossoms in the warmth and love provided by Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, and they in turn are warmed by her affection, talkativeness and imagination.

  • “Don't Borrow from Me Argentina” the Aftermath of the Largest Sovereign
    Final Draft: 20 March 2008 “Don’t Borrow From Me Argentina” The Aftermath of the Largest Sovereign Default in International Finance MARIANO SOTO GAJARDO∗ "We are going to take the bull by the horns. We are going to speak of the foreign debt. First, I announce that the Argentine state will suspend payment on the foreign debt.” (Inauguration speech of President Adolfo Rodriguez Saá, December 24, 2001) INTRODUCTION This is the story of a country that has learned how not to honour its contractual obligations. A country that has behaved opportunistically in restructuring its debt. A country that has claimed to negotiate in good faith with its creditors when its efforts to do so have been dubious to say the least. A country that has exploited every legal mechanism available to prevent its creditors from recovering their claims in court. This is the story of Argentina and its most recent sovereign debt restructuring. Argentina has a long history of defaulting on its obligations. After selling bonds listed on the London Stock Exchange in the early 1820s, the country defaulted on the bonds just a few years later and did not settle with the bondholders until ∗ LL.B.

  • Producing and Televising Immigrant Stories a Conversation with Marisa Venegas
    Producing and Televising Immigrant Stories A Conversation with Marisa Venegas Interview by Carlos Jimenez and Bianka Ballina In March 2016, the University of California, Santa Barbara’s Carsey-Wolf Center and the Film and Media Studies department hosted a screening of the investigative television documentary Muriendo por Cruzar (Dying to Cross, 2014), co-produced by the Telemundo Network, The Weather Channel, and the Investigative Fund. This Emmy Award-winning documentary captures how increased border enforcement has affected immigration patterns, often forcing immigrants into inhospitable terrains to avoid U.S. Border Patrol checkpoints. In particular, the investigation centers on Brooks County, Texas, located 70 miles north of the U.S.-Mexico Border. With the establishment of one of these checkpoints near the town of Falfurrias in 1994, undocumented immigrants have been forced to walk for days through the most treacherous and isolated desert areas of Brooks County. Muriendo por Cruzar underscores the hostile physical and legal environment leading to the deaths of hundreds of Latin American immigrants. The Spanish-language documentary combines data gathered by multiple organizations in the area and interviews with Border Patrol officials, Brooks County residents, as well as immigrants and their families. The distress produced by graphic images of bodies found in the desert is compounded by the harrowing recordings of 911 calls by immigrants pleading for help, which quite often does not arrive. The documentary pays special attention to the traumatic experience of Sigfredo Palomo, who witnessed the death of his younger brother Jose Fernando Palomo as they both attempted to reach their sister in New York.

ARGENTINA: A LAW AND ECONOMICS PERSPECTIVE A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Economics by Brian Michael Park August 2014 Accepted by: Howard Bodenhorn, Committee Chair Raymond Sauer Robert McCormick 1 ABSTRACT Sovereign bond contracts create unique legal problems for bondholders, issuers, and courts. Specifically, when a sovereign becomes insolvent, there is no international workout mechanism through which the sovereign’s debt can be efficiently restructured. Absent a mechanism similar to bankruptcy for sovereigns, some bondholders may attempt to resist restructuring in an effort to obtain a legal judgment for the full value of their initial investment. Until recently, the legal status and rights of these holdout creditors has been uncertain. However, a recent Second Circuit decision upheld creditors’ rights to hold out or resist a sovereign’s attempt to restructure its debt.
