Excellent primer yesterday on the current basic #economics of #Argentina from @wbur.org On Point. Hear @mdebolle.com explain terms for non-specialists (with a side of fact checking). A good item to send friends doing the "it is not a bailout" song and dance.

The real reason for the U.S.-Argentina bailout
American taxpayers are bailing out Argentina to the tune of $20 billion. But what does the U.S. get out of it? And can it really fix Argentina’s economy?

Yesterday I started working with indices de catastro. These are alphabetic lists of property owners, their property, transactions, and property values. #Guadalajara #Mexico #sources #history #skystorians #archives #Urban The archivist had to clean off the books because she says nobody consults them.

Guillermo O'Donnell wrote this 26 years ago in an edited collection about the rule of law in Latin America. The Rule of Law is a complicated idea (see Whigs and Hunters), but generally it helps prevent civil decay and unrest. #RuleOfLaw

Health Canada approves drug that slows progression of Alzheimer’s disease
The medication is designed to affect the root cause of the disease, rather than just mitigate symptoms

Public busses in #Guadalara #Mexico. 75 people in a full bear hug racing then suddenly braking together in absolute silence except a Luismi soundtrack.
Sometimes on the NYC subway, it hits just how weird it is for 50 strangers to be packed in a crate together while fully dedicated to pretending they don't exist
And some nascent midwest-esque part thinks "Maybe I should say hello--" before the NY part cuts in with "Mm I wouldn't recommend that"

In 2008 I was walking at 6am in Columbus, NM after camping at the state park with students. Border Patrol was driving on another street, saw me, flipped around, came racing up on me, pulled up, looked at me, then raced off. My white face was my "papers."
Gregory Bovino, commander-at-large of the U.S. #BorderPatrol, claims a @wbez.org/@chicago.suntimes.com report about his comments Sunday in downtown #Chicago was "grossly inaccurate" and taken out of context. So we've posted the interview's unedited AUDIO and TRANSCRIPT:

Transcript: Gregory Bovino says arrestees in downtown Chicago chosen partly based on ‘how they look’
WBEZ reporter Chip Mitchell spoke with U.S. Border Patrol commander about a deportation blitz downtown and in the upscale River North neighborhood. Here is the transcript and unedited audio interview.
