Practice smarter, not harder, to master new skills
Perhaps you have new practice management software that team members need to learn. Or maybe you'd just like to institute new cleaning procedures to eliminate odors in your clinic. Whatever the skill, you'll train team members more effectively by using a diverse set of drills and practice exercises.
Researchers at the University of Southern California and the University of California-Los Angeles studied 59 volunteers who were tasked with performing a challenging arm movement. Half the participants practiced the movement alone, while the other half added related tasks in a variable practice structure.
The latter group showed better retention of the skill, since the variable practice structure engaged a part of the brain—the prefrontal cortex—associated with higher-level planning. Meanwhile, participants who practiced just the arm movement struggled to retain the skill, since the movement engaged the primary motor cortex, an area of the brain associated with simple motor learning.
Keep these results in mind next time you develop training exercises for your team members. The old adage "Practice makes perfect" might not be enough anymore—at least not if it's the wrong kind of practice.

A really simple pattern – it seems shapeless but it's still quite flattering. I've made it from some vintage silk that I had in my fabric stash, and fully lined the dress instead of using facings and bias binding around the arm opening. I also put a zipper in the centre back instead of the side seam because my fabric wasn't wide enough to cut the back on the fold, but I kept the cute keyhole opening at the neckline anyway.

Daddies & Daughters: Why Girls & Women Need Their Fathers
in Women
Brown Girl Collective celebrates BOLD, Brilliant and Beautiful women and girls of African descent by paying homage to our past and sharing our present, while preparing for our future.

Janks Morton: Janks is a groundbreaking and award winning filmmaker and advocate for Black Americans.

Prodigal Daughters & Sons...Sharing the Word of God!
in Christianity
The Holy Bible is the living Word of God and is powerful and life changing. In today's message from His Word we can find light in the dark and fallen world we live in. Join us weekly for an adventure in discovering life changing truth's in God's Word.
This broadcast segment of "EMPOWERING MEN" addresses the special bond that exists between fathers and their daughters. Our special guest is Rick Johnson, bestselling author of That's My Girl: How a Father's Love Protects and Empowers His Daughter. He is also the author of That's My Son; That's My Teenage Son; Better Dads, Stronger Sons; and Becoming Your Spouse's Better Half. Rick Johnson is the founder of Better Dads and is a sought-after speaker at many large parenting and marriage conferences across the United States and Canada.
Fathers have been given a tremendous ability to influence the lives of their daughters – either positively or negatively. How a father treats his daughter will shape how she views herself and how she expects to be treated by other men for the rest of her life.
One of the most important lasting effects of women having healthy relationships with their fathers is a strong sense of self-worth as she matures. As a girl gets older, father-connectedness is the number one factor in delaying or preventing pre-marital sex and drug or alcohol abuse.
That's My Girl is an honest look at what girls need from their fathers and provides applicable advice for men with daughters of any age to transform their relationship. That's My Girl will equip men to honestly and openly talk to their daughters about the difficult subjects such as puberty, dating, sex and eating disorders.
The host of Empowering Men is Minister Thomas Ryer, Executive Director of Public Affairs & Advocacy, for the Men's Empowerment Network.

In the Claude Monet painting "the Garden" the beauty of the vibrant water lilies (in their vast array of colors) dance against the backdrop of the deep dark hues of blues, greens, purples and everything in between. Looking closer at the beauty of the painting is the brilliance of the colors that are accentuated by the palette of blackness that is consistent throughout.
In life, we (like the painting) have both the vibrant places (successes and accomplishments) represented by the water lilies as well as the dark places we've experienced that no matter how much we achieve, we are ever reminded of our failures and pain. What causes some people to shine brightly in spite of a dark past while others struggle with overcoming the shame of them?

Republic Wireless $20 referral promotion will end on 10/31/2014! Sign up now to get $20 off your first month!
My whole family is using Republic Wireless Moto X for $299 each with no contract!(normally $600 buying outright). Mainly, I want this phone for my family due to the super-cheap service plan of $10 per month on Republic Wireless. However, they now have the Moto G for $149 or the super cheap Moto E for $99. You can simply use it for your home phone for $5 per month plan. If you are looking for a great phone with a cheap $10 or $25 monthly plan, I highly recommend signing up for the Moto X with all the features including the 4.7 inch AMOLED display, X8 Mobile Computing System based on a 1.7 GHz dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 10 megapixel camera, and more. Available either black or white with 16GB of internal storage, buy your Motorola X today for just $299 with a no-contract prepaid service that can't be beat. The phone is available now and took less than 5 days for us to get the phones.

Republic Wireless Cheap Plans
Republic Wireless offers you four different plans ranging from $5 to $40 per month. The $5 cheap option is best for using it as a home phone or giving it to an older parent since it's a WiFi-only device. I got both of my parents on the $10 per month plan since you get unlimited voice and texts on Sprint mobile network. To use data, they simply need WiFi at home to be connected to the internet. My brother got the $25 to take advantage of the unlimited voice, text, and 3G data on Sprint while out and about. The most expensive plan adds mobile voice/text, mobile 4G LTE at the $40 level. They even allow you to change your plan up to twice each month to save month depending on your mobile needs.
How do they keep it so cheap? Republic Wireless is able to do this because its devices route calls and texts over WiFi automatically when it's available. When you are outside of your WiFi network, you place and receive calls using the Sprint network.
Save $20 using this Referral Link
I personally recommend to sign up Republic Wireless's Moto X for just $299 that's on par with other top devices, without a contract! You'll get a dirt cheap plan that center around unlimited talk, text, and data for just $10 or $25 per month. Voice quality is excellent in my opinion, and they have a 30 days money back guarantee!

Discounted price through booking.com. view of water ($10.00) upgrade. Scenery.
Resort fee ($12.50) tacked on final bill unexpectedly. No mention of that to us. Furniture worn and scuffed. Definitely not worth normal full price. Buffet food was dried out.
The location is awesome! The staff for the most part are friendly an helpful. The food is great.
The room was a little noisy, neighbors and hall HVAC unit.
Check out time to eatly
bed was very comfortable
Location, facilities
Noisy room - heater in the room was making so much noise keep on awaking Unfriendly staff - unable to get changes to leave a tip for the server at the buffet line. Really?? Do not want any tips?? No one come by the room when shampoo was needed Could be much better for the Resort statues
no hot water on and off. cleaning people very rude.
Staff was friendly. Facilities were clean. Entertainment was very good.
Always a pleasure to stay at the Inn...the best place in town, even with the difficulties we had.
There were two difficulties regarding our stay...one was that our room was not totally cleaned before we arrived...the second is that, we believe that the Nations Buffet, does not live up to the hotel standards We dined there one evening and could not find very much that tasted good to us...Sorry for that!
Enjoyed an overnight stay at the Inn with my Army veteran husband over the long Veteran's Day weekend. Thanks to booking.com accommodations at Inn of the Mountain Gods were affordable to us. Walked part way around the lake after checking in. Beautiful. Enjoyed the dinner buffet with excellent wait service. Restful night's slee.p Stsrted the following day with an invigorating swim in the pool and soak in the spa. Every day should start that way!
Some of our favorite slot machines were gone from the cssino. Most if the machines were flashier but also 'spendier' to the very conservative nature of our $20 a piece gambling budget.
We checked in approximately 20 minutes before 6pm on a Monday night, went up to check - in representative Krystal was very professional, helpful, and patient and knowledgeable.
Vallet representatives were both rude not polite at all (both male and a female (we may have arrived right at shift change)). We were concerned about our vehicle having been unlocked while they waited to take to parking spot and female snapped at us instead of acknowledging our concern.
The staff was extremely helpful & friendly love the tranquil & serenity of the location!
The rooms were nice and spacious. Everything is decorated nicely. The view is fantastic.
Our bed was very uncomfortable. There was a big soft spot that would make you sink.
could not use them for food at the bar
Enjoyed the room special in the middle of the week. Not a gambler, but the rate and atmosphere made a lovely time in the Inn.
Smoke in area outside the casino. Smelled strong as we entered the inn hotel area.
Very scenic looking out onto the property
Cocktails on the veranda
The road from Ruidoso was horrible
The hotel is beautiful, toilet was very comfortable
Water never heated up, bed looked like it had not been cleaned in days, my wife and I have been bitten by something in the bed which left red marks on her skin that resemble bed bug bites!!!!(please accertain this problem promptly) Bed was Mich too soft to our liking.
Two staff members at the hotel registration counter were great. There names were Kelene and Krystal.
Great atmosphere
Maintenance men were very loud on our floor. I had to get up and tell them to be quiet. Wendellen overpriced
All if the members of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The catering for the event I was attending was delicious. The main areas of the hotel and casino were clean and well-maintained.
There was constant humming/ buzzing in my room. The bathroom door was broken. Someone had written on the walls and it was never cleaned up. The restaurants were overpriced. The refrigerator in my room was broken, with a piece of tape over it that said it was not available for use.
Have stayed at the Inn of The mountain Gods many times before but never got a room with a view for the price.
The buffet food and selection has room for improvement.
This was an excellent facility with a very professional staff. It had great food and entertaiinment, beautiful views and wonderful setting. I would highly recommend a stay.
The Inn is in a beautiful mountain setting in beautiful New Mexico.

The first reviews of FIFA 12, including ours, are full of praise for FIFA 12, but the same cannot be said for glitch videos on YouTube which are in the millions of views.
One video in particular, titled 'FIFA 12 Demo Impact Engine Fail' (below), has hit 1.6 million views at the time of posting, highlighting a number of the new physics engine's trip ups.
The storm being stirred up by this and numerous other high-view-count videos of a similar content is reminiscent of the reception received by the NBA Elite 11 demo, which got a severe panning by those who downloaded it before the title was disastrously canned forcing EA to sit out of the NBA sim market this year.
But FIFA 12 is far from that disaster. CVG acknowledged the ambitious new Impact Engine's trip-ups in our FIFA 12 review, noting "the occasional Laurel and Hardy moment in the box, when players trip over their downed teammates and flop face-to-arse to the floor."
But as reviewer Tom Pakinkis goes on to state: "FIFA 12's physics engine does substantially more good than harm," adding, "Any moments of farce are infrequent enough to be forgiven and - from a pure enjoyment point of view - only adds to the banter between mates."
If anything, check out the video below with a view of its comedy, rather than a reason not to buy what is undoubtedly a stunning football sim.

The Argentine government published a decree on Monday that establishes the Unidad de Seguimiento y Trazabilidad de las Operaciones de Comercio Exterior (Tracking and Tracing of Foreign Trade Transactions Unit), which will monitor the flow of goods, services, and currency into and out of the country. According to Decree 2103/2014, the new agency will operate under Chief of the Cabinet of Ministers Jorge Capitanich, and will be made up of representatives from the Central Bank, the Economy Ministry, the AFIP tax bureau, the Financial Information Unit, the Bureau for Economic Crimes and Money Laundering (Procelac), and the National Securities Commission (CNV).
According to the government, the new agency is meant to "assure macroeconomic stability," yet the decree also notes that it was created because of an increase in foreign trade as well as illegal operations like tax evasion. The government claims there have been 9,600 cases of suspected Criminal Foreign Exchange Regime violations. The regulatory body will monitor trade and currency flows in order to prevent tax evasion, especially by companies earning money on imports.
In recent months, tax employees have carried out a number of raids in Buenos Aires and across Argentina due to a prosperous black market for U.S. dollars. The informal market started to flourish in 2011, when the Kirchner administration made it difficult for Argentines to get dollars through legal means in response to the alarming decrease in international reserves. After a devaluation of the peso in January 2014, the "blue" dollar exploded.
Alejandro Vanoli, who took over as head of the Central Bank in October 2014, has been imposing measures to limit the fall in the Central Bank's reserves, including raiding cuevas, the informal currency exchange houses, and arbolitos, people who sell dollars illegally on the street. At Tuesday's Central Bank conference, Vanoli noted that Argentina's reserves grew by $800 million in the last month and stressed that the government would continue to fight tax evasion and money laundering.
This week's likely top stories: Ecuador's National Assembly dismisses referendum on controversial constitutional amendments; Argentina suspends Proctor & Gamble for fiscal fraud; Brazil grants contracts for 31 new solar parks; U.S. gears up for midterm elections and immigration reform; Colombian court sentences AUC paramilitary leader to 8 years.
Ecuador's National Assembly Strikes Down Referendum on Amendments: On Friday, the Ecuadorian Constitutional Court dismissed the proposal for a referendum on a package of constitutional amendments sponsored by President Rafael Correa's ruling party, Alianza País (Country Alliance—AP). Instead, the decision will be passed on to the National Assembly, where parliamentary approval of the amendments is virtually guaranteed given the AP's two-thirds majority. The most contentious of the reforms would allow for the indefinite re-election of public officials, which would effectively permit Correa, who is currently serving his third and last term as president, to run again in 2017. Despite Correa's high approval rating, a September poll found that 73 percent of Ecuadorians supported the referendum, which was called by Guillermo Lasso, a former presidential candidate and leader of the opposition party Creando Oportunidades (Creating Opportunities—CREO).
Argentina Bars P&G from Business for Tax Fraud: The Argentinian tax bureau, Administración Federal de Ingresos Públicos (Federal Administration of Public Revenue—AFIP), announced on Sunday that it has suspended the operations of multinational consumer products corporation Proctor & Gamble for alleged fiscal fraud and capital flight. AFIP stripped P&G of its importers/exporters registration upon discovering that the company evaded paying duties totaling up to $138 million on hygiene products imported from Brazil by billing through a Swiss subsidiary. P&G, which has been operating in Argentina since 1991, will be allowed to resume business once it has paid its tax bill and fines accordingly. In asking Argentine courts to place travel restrictions on top officials at the local P&G affiliate, AFIP chief Ricardo Echegaray commented, "Our main goal is for P&G to repay the Central Bank the stolen currency as well as the customs sanctions and the income tax that has been evaded." P&G responded by announcing that it is working to understand and resolve the allegations.
Brazil Grants Contracts for 31 New Solar Parks: As the output from key hydroelectric plants in Brazil has decreased substantially amidst the worst drought in 80 years, the country has kickstarted the solar power industry by granting contracts for the construction of 31 solar parks on Friday. Brazil's energy regulator brought the country's first solar energy auction to a lucrative close on Friday by signing 20-year energy supply contacts with companies to invest $1.67 billion to begin powering the national grid by 2017. The parks, which are the first large-scale projects of their kind in Brazil, will have a combined capacity of 1,048 megawatts (MW), and at a price of $89 per megawatt-hour, the Brazilian government has earned itself one of the lowest rates in world. Brasília has been a latecomer to the photovoltaic industry—which currently supplies a meager 1 percent of the country's electricity—because the government levies high tariffs on imported solar panels.
U.S. Midterm Elections and Immigration: U.S. voters will go to the polls on Tuesday in midterm elections that will be crucial for the future of immigration reform in the United States. Recent polls suggest that the Republican candidates are outperforming Democrats in several key states, and thus the GOP could pick up six new seats to take control of the Senate. Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said on Sunday that if Republicans win the Senate, comprehensive immigration reform will be a top priority. Last year, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) refused to bring a bipartisan immigration bill passed in the Senate to a vote. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama is expected to use his executive authority to overhaul immigration rules shortly after Tuesday's elections.
Sentenced AUC Leader Says Colombian Military Collaborated: In sentencing Colombian paramilitary leader Salvatore Mancuso to a maximum sentence of eight years on Friday, Judge Alexandra Valencia said that "the military and the army were institutionally responsible" for the deaths of hundreds of civilians in northern Colombia. Mancuso, who led the Colombian paramilitary Autodefensas Unidas de Colombia (United Self-Defence Forces of Colombia—AUC) between 2004 and 2006 and was later extradited to the U.S., said that the Colombian army was complicit in the AUC's military offensives in the late 1990s that led to the deaths of hundreds of civilians. As part of a plea bargain with Colombia's special Justice and Peace prosecution unit, Mancuso admitted to leading four massacres and committing hundreds of crimes. According to Mancuso, the Colombian military gave him special access, trained paramilitaries, and had informants in both the police force and the regional prosecutor's office to warn paramilitaries of investigations or raids. "Without the action or inaction of the State, we wouldn't have been able to grow the way we did," he said.
Argentina's Chamber of Deputies passed a bill yesterday that updates the country's 47-year-old hydrocarbon law. The bill, which has President Christina Fernández de Kirchner's support and has already been approved by the Senate, would ease foreign investment in energy exploration and production. Significantly, it includes regulations for off-shore and shale gas production—categories that were not included in the 1967 law.
The bill provoked significant debate along party lines, and passed largely on the strength of President Fernández de Kirchner's Frente Para la Victoria (Front for Victory—FPV) representation in Congress.
Argentina's energy deficit is estimated to reach $7 billion this year. The new bill is part of an attempt to set the country on a course towards energy independence by ramping up domestic production—especially in the country's Vaca Muerta region, which is considered one of the largest reserves of shale oil and gas in the world. Faced with dwindling foreign reserves and access to credit, the government has looked to increased foreign investment. To do attract investment, the bill would lower the level of investment needed for companies to avoid export taxes and foreign exchange control to $250 million from $1 billion. "The desired horizon for Argentina is only possible if there are investments," said Mario Metaza, a deputy for the FPV.
Opposition lawmakers have accused the government of steam-rolling provincial interests and selling off strategic resources. "They are ratifying the concept of hydrocarbons as a commodity and not as a strategic resource and a common good," said Claudio Lozano, a deputy for the Frente Amplio Progresista (Broad Progressive Front—FAP). Outside observers have also raised questions about the current administration's ability to manage any potential windfall derived from the energy reform, pointing to the mismanagement of the country's wealth during the economic boom of 2003-2008.
The President of the Episcopal Commission for Social Pastoral Work in Argentina, Bishop Jorge Lozano, issued a call on Wednesday urging the country's faithful to share information they may have regarding the fate of the children kidnapped during Argentina's "Dirty War." In the document, Bishop Lozano notes that, "There has been a network of silence and complicity that has kept the truth covered up." The Church and its members have historically been a part of this network, Bishop Lozano admitted.
The announcement follows a meeting at the Vatican earlier this year between Pope Francis, formerly Archbishop Jorge Mario Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, and the leader of the Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo (Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo), Estela de Carlotto. Carlotto and the Abuelas asked the pope to open Church archives that could lead to information regarding 400 children suspected of being kidnapped during the dictatorship. Francis reportedly told Carlotto, "Count on me." The meeting was a turning point in the relationship between the Abuelas and Bergoglio, whom Carlotto has criticized for his silence on the issue of the kidnapped children.
The Church's record during Argentina's dictatorship is checkered. While many priests and other religious figures were among the victims of the regime, elements of the Church are considered to have been either tacitly or actively complicit in the worst abuses of the Dirty War. In the wake of his election, Francis's own record was the subject of intense scrutiny and debate. Since then, a number of survivors have claimed that future pope secretly helped funnel potential victims to safety.
At a hearing yesterday, U.S. Federal Judge Thomas Griesa decided to hold Argentina in civil contempt of court, asserting that the country's recent efforts to circumvent his ruling on debt repayment are illegal. Argentina's Congress passed a law on September 11 that would replace Bank of New York Mellon Corp. as a bond trustee with a branch of Banco de la Nación. This would allow the country to pay the bondholders that agreed to restructuring in 2005 and 2010 in country, while avoiding payment to creditors that rejected restructuring.
Griesa's ruling came the same day that the Kirchner Administration sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry requesting that the U.S. avoid holding Argentina in contempt and asking for support against the federal judge. After yesterday's decision, Argentine Foreign Minister Héctor Timerman released a statement claiming that Griesa's decision was a "violation of international law," and called for the U.S. to allow the International Court of Justice (ICJ) to preside over the case. The Argentine government filed a suit at the ICJ in August, claiming that the New York court ruling violated their national sovereignty, but no action will be taken by the ICJ until the U.S. agrees to its jurisdiction in the case.
Argentina is scheduled to make a $200 million deposit of an interest payment on restructured debt today in the Banco de la Nación Fideicomiso, and a Central Bank source has indicated that the deposit will be made in spite of the ruling. Timerman affirmed yesterday that the country will continue to fight the blatant violation of Argentina's autonomy as a nation.
Griesa previously warned Argentina about the potential ramifications of refusing to pay the holdout creditors the approximately $1.5 billion owed to them. However, when NML Capital Ltd. lawyer Robert Cohen called for a daily $50,000 penalty until Argentina pays in full, Griesa declined and stated that potential penalties will be considered at a later, as yet unspecified date.
New technology and capital has boosted shale gas and tight oil production in the United States and Canada—a phenomenon dubbed the "shale revolution." This revolution has important geopolitical implications and has shifted North America's energy outlook from one of scarcity to one of abundance.
The rest of the Western Hemisphere is also sitting on expansive shale reserves, but these areas have not yet been fully exploited. A recently released AS/COA Energy Action Group Report, "Shale Gas Development in Latin America," explores these issues in depth.
Within the Western Hemisphere, the primary point of comparison for Latin American countries looking to develop shale gas resources is the United States, where, in 2014, over 20,000 horizontal wells are expected to be drilled, according to RBC Capital Markets. This compares to 250 unconventional wells in Argentina and just 10 in Colombia that are expected to be drilled during the same time period. Investors spent $90 billion in the United States on developing shale gas in 2012 alone; in contrast, foreign direct investment in Latin America last year, in every sector, totaled $180 billion.
In addition to the U.S. and Canada, Argentina, Brazil and Mexico are among the 10 countries in the world with the greatest technically recoverable shale gas resources; together, they make up approximately 40 percent of the world's total supply. Colombia also has significant potential.
As the shale gas revolution sweeps across Latin America, many governments are beginning to see the industry—and the significant influx of foreign investment—as a quick stimulus to their sluggish economies. Argentina is no exception—with an estimated 16.2 billion barrels of shale oil and 308 trillion cubic feet (TCF) of shale gas in the Vaca Muerta shale formation, the government aims to capitalize on their newfound resource wealth.
Although foreign investment may help Argentina's fiscal woes in the short term, it is by no means a panacea for the country's economic problems, and could in fact encourage poor financial practices.
Efforts by the Fernández de Kirchner administration to attract foreign investment have begun to bear fruit, with various international oil companies and investment firms increasing their stake in Vaca Muerta projects. Argentina's national oil company, Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (Treasury Petroleum Fields—YPF), has also made a series of joint ventures with oil companies that will provide the state-owned energy company with much-needed cash and technical expertise to develop unconventional energy projects.
In addition to an infusion of financial capital, both YPF and international oil companies have been lobbying the Argentine government to create a more favorable legal framework for investors interested in shale oil and natural gas projects. The administration has undertaken efforts to rewrite the 1967 hydrocarbons law, which would simplify taxes, royalties, and licenses and effectively reaffirm Buenos Aires' control over natural resources. Such a law would be a direct rebuke of the 1994 constitutional amendment that recognized subsoil hydrocarbon resources as property of the provinces where they are located.
Three Argentine medical professionals that participated in the clandestine delivery of babies born to female prisoners during the military dictatorship from 1976 to 1983 will be prosecuted for the first time this week. Doctors Norberto Bianco and Raúl Martín, obstetrician Luisa Arroche, as well as former dictator Reynaldo Bignone and retired military general Santiago Riveros will be tried by the Oral Federal Court No. 6 On Wednesday for their role in kidnapping nine babies that were allegedly delivered in the secret maternity ward of the Campo de Mayo Military Hospital between 1976 and 1978.
During the dictatorship, at least 17 pregnant dissident women were abducted and brought to the military hospital where births were often induced by cesarean section. The babies would then be taken from their mothers and adopted by families that supported the dictatorship, including police and military officers. Prior to this week's trial, the court had concluded that the kidnapping of babies was a systematic terror tactic used by the military government. Thus far, five of the kidnapping victims were able to discover their true identities.
On Sunday, human rights lawyer Víctor Abramovich voiced his concern over delays in prosecuting crimes against humanity that took place during the dictatorship, accusing "certain sectors of the judiciary" and defense lawyers of blocking investigations in order to postpone trials for older defendants.
Over 30,000 citizens are estimated to have been disappeared or killed over the course of the dictatorship. In a 2012 trial, Reynaldo Bignone and Argentine dictator Jorge Videla were sentenced to 15 and 50 years in prison, respectively—though Videla died the following year—and nine others were also convicted for their role in kidnapping an estimated 500 children. Last May, the Attorney General Alejandra Magdalena Gils Carbó noted that there were 74 repressors that had been charged with crimes against humanity and were currently on the run.
Early this morning, the lower house of the Argentine Congress passed a bill that will allow for the restructuring of its sovereign debt. After entering into session Wednesday afternoon, members passed the law Thursday morning with a vote of 134 to 99, just over the 129 votes needed for its approval.
The vote comes after the United Nations General Assembly overwhelmingly approved a new resolution on Tuesday in favor of protecting countries' ability to restructure sovereign debt, with 124 countries in favor, 11 against and 41 abstained. The United States was one of the few countries that voted against the measure.
Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman expressed his approval of the UN result. "The time has come to give a legal framework to the financial system for restructuring sovereign debt that respects the majority of creditors and which allows countries to come out of crises in a sustainable manner," he said.
After entering into selective default on its debt on July 30, the new law will help Argentina pay back its creditors before its new September 30 payment deadline by allowing the payment site to be moved from New York to either Buenos Aires or Paris. However, New York District Judge Thomas Griesa—who froze $539 million in Argentine deposits in the Bank of New York Mellon and ordered the country to repay hedge funds in full before paying back creditors—has declared the law illegal and threatened to take legal actions against it.
Not everyone in Argentina is in favor of the new bill though. Alfonso Prat Gay, former president of the Central Bank of Argentina, stated that "the fight with the holdouts will be tremendously negative for the country's future."
U.S. Deputy Representative to the UN Economic and Social Council Terri Robl also expressed his concerns about the consequences of the new bill. "If lenders face higher uncertainty regarding repayment they may be less likely to provide financing and will likely charger higher risk premiums, potentially stifling financing to developing countries," he said.
Argentina has defaulted twice in the past 13 years and has been involved in ongoing repayment battles with Judge Griesa and billionaire Paul Singer's hedge fund, NML Capital.
El "default" de Argentina tiene tantas lecturas como tenedores de bonos argentinos hay en EEUU. La apreciación sobre si el país está o no en cesación de pagos ha extendido el debate económico al campo político, en donde el concepto "soberanía" se ha agitado de manera preponderante por el gobierno de Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.
Para las calificadoras de riesgo Standard & Poor's, Fitch y Moody's, Argentina entró en un default selectivo el 31 de julio tras no cumplir el pago a los llamados "fondos buitres,"ordenado por un fallo del juez norteamericano Thomas Griesa. Sin embargo, para la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL), el país todavía se encuentra en un litigio inédito en la Corte Suprema de EEUU, y la Asociación Internacional de Derivados y Swaps (ISDA) revertió su apreciación inicial de default para decir que no hubo moratoria en el pago de la deuda–al fin y al cabo, el dinero del 93% de los bonistas está en las cuentas del Bank of New York Mellon.

1880 census at the LDS site lists these two boys Willie Orcott (spelling?) and Eddie Orcott ages 9 and 7 respectively in the house hold of their grandmother Harriett Vannarman which is spelled Vannoraian on this census. The name became VanNorman later on when Isaac and Harriett Vannarman's daughter Ella married my great grandfather Morris Barker. Been trying to piece this family together and assume that since the two grandsons are living with their grandmother and aunt Ella at this time that perhaps their parents or parent has died. The boys are listed as being born in Minnesota and the census for 1880 is for Raymond township, Stearns County, Minnesota.

Some researchers are so confident that religion makes people happier, and healthier, that they want it to be prescribed by doctors (1). Now that religion is losing out to atheism, is happiness at risk?
One of the best-known findings is that religion protects people against depression. According to a 2003 meta analysis (2) that combined the results of 147 different studies, religiosity explains less than 1% of the differences in vulnerability to depression. If religion has such small correlations with depression, it may not be a huge factor in happiness either.
Comparing countries
Such doubt emerges most strongly from comparisons between countries. Much of the research linking religiosity and happiness was conducted in the U.S. where more religious people are slightly happier. Researchers saw this as evidence for the universal benefits of religion (a perspective that interests evolutionary psychologists like myself because it helps explain why religion is so common around the globe). Yet, there is no association between religiousness and happiness in either Denmark or the Netherlands (3).

One of the first books I read when I began doing photography in the early 1970s was the autobiography of the great portrait photographer Philippe Halsman called "Sight and Insight". This book revealed to me more than any other how effective and insightful a great portrait can be. At their best they transcend the casual and reveal some real fragment of the subject. Looking at the portraits of Steichen, Penn, Avedon, Newman and Karsh (to name a few) one sees a window into the personality. Sometimes real though sometimes contrived. Over the years I did a lot of portraits, some, I believe, worked well and at least approached something above mere reportage. They were of friend, teachers and models I had the privilege of working with.
