Hoosier Gringo: July 2010
http://hoosiergringo.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
A blog on Américan. Tuesday, July 20, 2010. And Buenos Aires, my first time back to. Since I visited with my brother in 2005. I’m really excited to be going back, as a lot has changed in the years since. Clearly it will be significant to get to see all of my friends again in one of the great cities of the world, and. My Spanish is light years above and beyond where it was the last time I went. Was the first country outside the. And the global south. Century- as well as looking forward to what the United ...

Hoosier Gringo: Don't get me started...
http://hoosiergringo.blogspot.com/2010/07/dont-get-me-started.html
A blog on Américan. Sunday, July 11, 2010. Don't get me started. So in an ironic twist of fate, in a glitch that I'm blaming on this absurd Google Blogger system, I lost the post that I've been working on all night. Which, for the record, just confirms for me that I'm switching over to the open-source platform Wordpress ASAP. And serves as yet another. Reminder to ALWAYS back up what you write, and type it into Word before posting it! Via that's how kids. And on that note, I'm out! Reed M. Kurtz. I'm a w...

Hoosier Gringo: Happy 4th of July
http://hoosiergringo.blogspot.com/2010/07/happy-4th-of-july.html
A blog on Américan. Sunday, July 4, 2010. Happy 4th of July. Well yes, it's been a while. And while I'm finishing up the post that I've working on, essentially a reflection on my time away from writing regularly, I thought it'd be appropriate to go ahead and write. And leave some "fireworks" of my own, the first being a sunrise in Valpo a few weeks ago, and the second being a sunset there as well. Reed M. Kurtz. July 19, 2010 at 10:02 PM. That second picture is crazy. Like rivers of lava in the sky.

Hoosier Gringo: Blackout in Chile, and The Quake's Lesser-Publicized Victims
http://hoosiergringo.blogspot.com/2010/03/blackout-in-chile-and-quakes-lesser.html
A blog on Américan. Monday, March 15, 2010. Blackout in Chile, and The Quake's Lesser-Publicized Victims. Last night, Chile was hit with a rolling blackout that affected nearly the entire country. From about 9 to 11:30 pm, most of the country, all the way from Region III in the north to Region XIV in the far south, was without electricity. Another interesting side note to last night's blackout: after power was restored in Santiago, we were able to listen to Radio Bio Bio. In the car, which reported that ...

Structurally Maladjusted: Where do remittances come from?
http://structurallymaladjusted.blogspot.com/2010/07/where-do-remittances-come-from.html
Tuesday, July 20, 2010. Where do remittances come from? Courtesy of the Inter-American Development Bank, we get this nice map breaking down the sources of US remittance flows to Latin America by state (click to enlarge). No real surprises here but it's a kinda nice map, no? Posted by Gringo Juan. July 20, 2010 at 5:05 PM. Only two comments to make. 1) The cream colour regions would be better labelled Insufficient Latin American Population (and ditch the data). Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? I told you to ...

Structurally Maladjusted: Argentina, where economic growth is a bad thing
http://structurallymaladjusted.blogspot.com/2010/07/argentina-where-economic-growth-is-bad.html
Thursday, July 1, 2010. Argentina, where economic growth is a bad thing. Only with Argentina, whom investors and the business community (and press) clearly haven't forgiven for defaulting in 2001, can rising GDP forecasts be reported as a bad thing. Bloomberg reported yesterday. Just a reminder that when reading the mainstream media's coverage of Latin America, it reads more like FOX News' coverage of Obama than what passes for good journalism on domestic issues. July 4, 2010 at 6:34 PM. But inflation in...

Structurally Maladjusted: Weekend Update
http://structurallymaladjusted.blogspot.com/2010/07/weekend-update.html
Monday, July 12, 2010. Lets keep it brief today:. The mainstream media finally noticed. That Colombia journalist Hollman Morris was denied a visa by the US. A week or so later, not too bad. With more coverage comes more details, and this looks pretty bad. From the WaPo. He was ineligible, U.S. officials told him, under the "terrorist activities" section of the USA Patriot Act." Really, the Patriot Act? With the DAS though? To Panama, where the latest seems to be an agreement being reached. With plenty mo...

A blog on Américan. Friday, March 19, 2010. A Look to the North: US Health Care Reform and Seven Years of War in Iraq. There is much excitement back in the United States as the Democrats make the final push towards passing health care reform legislation. In the House of Representatives. In just the past few days, several Democrats who previously voted against the original House bill have been persuaded to change their upcoming vote. Solidifying the odds of a successful passage. A conflict that we are sti...
