CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY: The Training Center at Cape May, New Jersey is the Coast Guardâs only recruit training center and the only place where enlisted Coast Guard personnel can receive formal recognition for a promotion in rank. As a consequence, the Training Center is witness to regular graduation and promotion ceremonies, which take place on the facilityâs multi-use sports field when the weather is agreeable. But New Jersey claims its share of months when the weather is decidedly disagreeable, and then the ceremonies are moved indoors. The multipurpose room where they take place, along with the Training Centerâs dances and other events, recently benefited from a sound reinforcement system overhaul. An Ashly Pema 4250.70 combination 8×8 Protea⢠DSP Matrix Processor and four-channel 70V Power Amplifier anchor the new system with reliable, cost-effective, high-fidelity performance.
âThe sound system that they use outside is excellent,â explained Mike DiMartinis, with Elite Audio LLC of Turnersville, New Jersey. Elite Audio worked with the Coast Guard Training Center in the past, and this time the company was hired through Reiley Construction to design and install the new system in the multipurpose room. âIn contrast to the outdoor system,â he continued, âthe sound system that they use indoors was terrible. It was twenty years old and composed of paging horns. It was not high fidelity, and they were always unhappy to move from the great sound outside to the tin can inside. The events that they held in the multi-purpose room certainly didnât benefit from it either.â
The new system features three Community R.5 loudspeakers distributed across the width of the room, which also doubles as a basketball court. The speaker systems were encased in a custom steel protective enclosure designed and fabricated by Polar Focus. Depending on its use, the staff can operate the system via a wireless Creston control system; custom programming by son Nick to engage either the East Side exclusively or engage the entire system, and they can also select among a DJ auxiliary input, two wireless microphones, four wired microphones, and a CD/iPod deck. As a failsafe fallback, Elite also installed an inexpensive Ashly neWR-5 wall panel remote control. âWeâve used Ashly products in numerous installations in the past, and theyâve always been 100% reliable and trouble-free,â he said. âThe Ashly Pema 4250.70 was perfect for this job because it is cost-effective and gave us the necessary ability to matrix audio, plenty of clean power, easy programming, and flexible user control options, including seamless integration with the Crestron system as well as the Ashly neWR-5.â
ABOUT ASHLY AUDIO Ashly Audio Inc. is recognized as a world leader in the design and manufacturing of high quality & high performance signal processing equipment and power amplification for use in the commercial sound contracting and professional audio markets. The 37-year old company is headquartered in Webster, New York U.S.A.

Artist Alley Finds at WonderCon 2012
With so many amazing creators, projects, artists, and comics filling up the artists alley at each convention, it is easy to get lost and miss out on some of the real gems at each show. To make this a bit easier on fans and to spotlight some very awesome and special creators and creations we have Artist Alley Finds. Artist Alley Finds shares with you all some of the greatest highlights of each convention's Artist Alley while linking you to the creators and their works so you might discover and enjoy them as much as we have.
WonderCon 2012 had a pretty large and awesome artist alley, packed with talent and projects just waiting for the attention of fans and publishers alike. Check out the creators and comic below that you might have missed at the convention, give their books a read, their art a view, and generally enjoy the amazing skills and creativity these men and women have brought forth to share with us.
Planes of Eldlor is a great little webcomic that has been running for a few years now. Its creators, Sarrah and Rob Wilkinson were at WonderCon to introduce new readers to their comic, sell some awesome artwork, and talk with fans. They are both amazingly sweet people, who are quite modest and funny to chat with. Their comic is just as spectacular as they are though, with lovely and imaginative full color art that is filled with dragons. A high fantasy web comic that updates every Monday, Planes of Eldlor is well worth checking out!
Fox Sister is a lovely and beautifully stylized supernatural horror webcomic done by Christina Strain, one of comic's top colorists, and Jayd Ait-Kaci. Christina had a booth at WonderCon where you could pick up the series brand new hardcover collection, as well as some of the highest quality promotional cards I've ever seen given out for anything. Christina was not holding back when it came to promoting this comic, and it is understandable why: the series is absolutely beautiful! From the art to the story, every bit of this comic deserves your time and attention, if not your money. Check out the Fox Sister by clicking here.
When you think of the most epic rivalry the world has ever known you might think of a number of things. Some would go Pirates vs Ninjas, others could say Jews vs Nazis, 80's lovers would say Video vs Radio, and I've always looked to Marvel vs DC comics. Yet accord to Sebastian Kadlecik and John Bring, who were both present at WonderCon's artist alley, the true struggle is between Penguins and Possums. Yes, these two men have written, illustrated, and published a beautiful and hilarious little indie comic titled Penguins VS. Possums. For just $3 you can pick up 32 pages of Black and White hilarity by clicking here.
Artist Dan Mendoza was on hand with his always sexy undead Zombie Tramp and other art. If you like horror, comedy, or naked girls then you'll likely love Dan's art. You can check out his work and buy his comics by clicking here.
God Killer was the motion comic before motion comics were cool, with an all star cast of voice actors and some rather stunning artwork. The series has DVDs, clothing, and, of course, an awesome graphic novel. Watch the trailer below and check out the rather interesting series by Matt Pizzolo, Anna Muckcracker, & Brian Giberson that was shown off at this years WonderCon. Click here to learn more.
Godkiller [complete film trailer] from Halo-8 Entertainment on Vimeo.
One of the more stand out pieces of art at WonderCon this year was the cover to The Meek #1, which featured a very cute and very naked young green haired girl sitting atop a tree limb in the jungle. The Meek is a comic series, which you can read online or find in print from 4th Dimension Entertainment (the same people who publish Lackadaisy), the follows the adventures of a young girl named Angora. It is written, drawn, and colored by Der-shing Helmer, otherwise known as Alexds1 on Deviant Art.
Nathan Seal, who could easily be the next J. Scott Campbell, was an extremely talented artist showing off his work at WonderCon. His absolutely magnificent artwork, with sublime coloring, stood out like Marilyn Monroe in a room full of chimpanzees. A few of you might already be familiar with Seal's artwork, as it has graced the covers and interiors of comics from Arcana, Glass House Graphics, and Zenescope Entertainment. If you're not familiar with Nathan's alluring art work, do yourself a favor and click here. Nathan is currently working on a rather amazing convention sketchbook entitled Monsters, Maidens, & Mayhem, but has plans for many other projects coming soon.
Forgettably Famous is a fairly new web comic by creators Anae Crockett and Kat Zuniga, who are both truly sweet people that hope you'll enjoy their new series. The comic tells the tale of 5 healthy people in a future where a deadly epidemic makes such a thing quite rare. Even better is that these 5 people have been brought together to make a band on a new reality TV series. It is certainly an original concept for a comic series, with great artwork and awesome character designs. The web comic itself updates a little irregularly, but their facebook page gets new sketches and photos regularly, while giving fans a chance to interact with the creators.
Perhaps the most amazing comic being promoted in the artist alley of WonderCon this year was Yi Soon Shin: Warrior and Defender. This beautiful comic by Onrie Kompan, who was hand selling the comic himself at his booth, tells the epic tale of a Korean naval commander from the 16th century and his battle against the Japanese. This 4-issue mini-series is both lovely and educational, with a captivating story. You can find out more about the series on Onrie's website as well as purchase his comic series there. The collected Trade Paper Back for the series will be out later this year.
Another great comic being sold and exhibited at WonderCon was the ever so interesting Pink Power from HCMP (High Concept Media Properties). Zen, a rather friendly and kind creator of this interesting series was on hand to talk about his crazy, yet cute, new comic series. Pink Power is the story of a young girl who gains super powers from a pair of pink panties and must fight off sexy skateboarding ninja chicks…yea, figured that would catch your attention, as it caught ours. There are currently 2 awesome issues available at HCMP's website, where you can view the comic for free. You can also help be a part of creating Pink Power's third issue by donating to their kickstarter campaign here.
Finally, a personal favorite from this year's WonderCon artist alley was Sarah Barrie Fenton, who was selling her new original comic series, A Fairy Tale. This cute comic is filled with adorable art that has simply amazing facial expressions and personality to it. I won't say too much on this comic, as an Indie Review on the title is impending (check back later this week). But if you like cute and astonishing artwork, check out Sarah's blog or deviant art for some pieces that will have you going "awwww!"

Roughing It tells the true-ish escapades of Twain in the American West. Although he clearly "speaks with forked tongue," Roughing It is informative as well as humorous. From stagecoach travel to the etiquette of prospecting, the modern reader gains considerable insight into that much-fictionalized time and place. Do you know about sagebrush, for example?
Sage-brush is very fair fuel, but as a vegetable it is a distinguished failure. Nothing can abide the taste of it but the jackass and his illegitimate child, the mule. But their testimony to its nutritiousness is worth nothing, for they will eat pine knots, or anthracite coal, or brass filings, or lead pipe, or old bottles, or anything that comes handy, and then go off looking as grateful as if they had had oysters for dinner.Roughing It is informally structured around the narrator's attempts to strike it rich. He meets a motley, colorful crew in the process; many mishaps occur, and it shouldn't surprise you that Twain does not emerge a man of means. But he withstands it all in such a relentless good humor that his misfortune inspires laughter. Roughing It is wonderful entertainment and reminds you how funny the world can be--even its grimmer districts--when you're traveling with the right writer. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

How are you involved in Scouting, Guiding or 4-H?
|Wed, 08-30-2006 - 12:41pm
I'm a Boy Scout troop committee member (oldest DS is a Life Scout, working toward Eagle) and I'm Cubmaster of my youngest son's Pack (he's a 2nd year Webelo).
I was a Girl Scout through Cadet. My mom was a Brownie leader and den mother. My oldest brother is an Eagle Scout, as is my uncle. My husband was a district executive for the Boy Scouts for a while, and his brother is a Scoutmaster and sister-in-law is a council trainer.
We're a Scouting family!
|Sun, 09-03-2006 - 5:09pm
I'm a mom of a Junior Girl Scout and co-leader of her troop. Co-leader is as far as I'm willing/able to take it. Leader would be too much for me due to my teaching and anything wider out would be even more difficult.
(I will soon be a mom of a 4-Her and possibly a volunteer, but not if they do EVERYTHING in school..I can only help after-school/weekends since I'm a teacher at another school.)
I was in Brownies in 3rd grade, my mom was the leader. I was in 4-H in 4th grade and 12th grade.
About the extent of my experience with Boy Scouts is that my step-brother was a Cub Scout for a couple years and I just bought popcorn from a former student..lol.

I am a 01 Leader for my Daughters Junior Troop. * wish me luck, have a new 02 this yr*..
I was my sons cubscout leader for his entire time in cubs.. I am a active parent in Boyscouts but a inactive Assistant Scout Master..confusing huh..lol...I am working hard on getting back into the swing of BoyScouts. My son wants me there..
I was not in scouts as a Child. boohoo poor me..lol Didn't even know they existed here.But have since found out they did
I am on y 5th yr with DD and 7th yr with son ...

my old one who is a very very good friend moved away in Feb. She is a great friend but really sucked as a Co leader. She would sign up for trainings and then not go. Told me the entire time she had her CPR/First aid training but never had the card with her. Since found out she didn't have it. Barely made it to any meetings even the ones she was in charge of. When she did she was ill prepared. She is also a very very uptight person and that made it hard for her to relax and just let the girls ''go'' so it made for times to not be as enjoyable as they could have been if she would have just relaxed.. But, I had one at least in name...During the times I needed her as my Co leader to step up and take charge. She let me down big time. Like with my Mother dying. She could have stepped up and took over the meetings. But she didn't so we cancelled a month of meetings. When I had my kidney surgery this summer. I had the unexpected Surgery on Thursday, we had a camping trip that weekend. Instead of stepping up and saying I will go so the girls can still go * she was not going*. She said Oh well, guess the girls wont' be going. Another Troop leader/friend called my girls and cancelled the Trip for me!! We were going with another troop. They had the camp training so my Co could have went so the girls could have still gone. but nope... My dd still went only because she is friends with the dd' of the other troops leader and they invited her to go...She is talking of moving back. I have already told her she is welcome to register as a Parent.. but not as a Co leader..This way I do not have to get frustrated by her lack of help!
Now my New one.. I have High hopes for.. She stepped up many times in the shoes of the other one who would back out of stuff. Plus like me she is extremly laid back and is a go with the flo type person... so that oughta be fun!
I do have to say though.. That as a Friend, I could not ask for a better one. She has gone way beyond and above what a lot of so called friends do... especially when my Mom died!!!

My dd is now a 2nd year Jr. GS, and has been a scout since Daisies. It is the one consistent thing she has always been doing. Every other thing she has flitted from sport to sport. And she is just as dedicated now as she was when she was younger, which makes me very happy.
But I've been Cookie Mom twice, once for the Brownie troop, and last year for her Jr. troop. That is 6 weeks of total insanity, which is definitely enough as I don't have the personality or the time to be a leader.
|Tue, 09-05-2006 - 7:27pm
I agree with Cathi...KUDOS to you for being cookie mom. I WISH I could dedicate the time to be cookie mom, but haven't been able to yet (first year--I was student teaching, second year--I was a first-year teacher, now this third year--I'm in an assessment year for teaching (sort of like student teaching again...lol)...next year I plan on starting Grad courses), and I just can't devote the time YET.
So, knowing how much work it is...good for you!!!!!

Energy Policy: As he departs the Obama administration, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar leaves a sorry legacy: Under him, Interior became one of the most energy-unfriendly agencies in our nation's history.
If you're as angry as most Americans about the high cost of energy and want someone to blame, look no further than Salazar, who announced his resignation this week. With Obama, he removed major swaths of energy-rich U.S. land from production and exploration, costing the U.S. hundreds of billions of dollars.
As we've noted, President Obama entered office with gasoline prices at about $1.86 a gallon. Today, they're $3.28 a gallon, a 76% jump.
This was no accident. It was a plan. And Salazar played a leading role in bringing about this energy debacle, taking both federal lands and offshore energy resources offline and using scarcity to push up energy prices sharply, a much-beloved goal of the left.
As a federal report last year shows, oil output on federal lands fell 11% from 2010 to 2011, while natural gas dropped 6%. During the same time, oil output on private lands jumped 14% and natural gas surged 12%.
In short, no thanks to Salazar and Obama, there is an energy boom in America — but it's almost entirely on private lands. It's one of the economy's few bright spots.
Through last year, the number of yearly energy leases granted under Obama was 51% below what it was under President Clinton — and 36% below President George W. Bush's level. Supply has been systematically choked.
Energy economist Nick Loris of the Heritage Foundation last year estimated Salazar's unnecessary slowdown in permits and leasing after the Gulf of Mexico oil spill led companies to slash investments in energy by $18.3 billion, costing the Gulf region 162,000 jobs.
And that's just one area. From Alaska to the Gulf, from California's coastline to Florida and Virginia and everywhere in between, Salazar's go-slow energy policies have cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and helped create the slowest-growing economy since the Depression.
Today, the U.S. government leases less than 2.2% of federal offshore areas for oil and gas development, and just 6% of its lands. All told, Obama/Salazar energy policies have removed an estimated 1.2 trillion barrels of oil and 21 trillion cubic feet of natural gas off the nation's table — enough to last the U.S. hundreds of years.
Salazar and Obama favored foolish "renewable" energy projects that waste billions upon billions of taxpayer funds — while punishing those who seek to produce plentiful oil, gas and coal. This wasn't an energy policy; it was an anti-energy policy, a disastrous one at that.
Cyberwar: The director of the National Security Agency, Adm. Michael Rogers, has warned a congressional panel that China has the capability to knock out the entire U.S. power grid. This is a first-magnitude threat.As severe as U.S. national security problems are with the militarily resurgent Russia ...
Amnesty: Now that President Obama has made the Constitution a welcome mat for illegals to wipe their feet on, Republicans can make a series of moves. This should be treated as the national emergency it is.For the president to shield up to 5 million aliens from the deportation that statute requires ...
Corruption: Smoking-gun emails show how the administration sought to derail a CBS reporter's investigation of its "gun-waking" operation — a reporter whose computers were mysteriously and mercilessly hacked.Fast and Furious, along with Benghazi, is one of the two "phony" administration ...
Lying With Statistics: In April, we doubted that the surprisingly high ObamaCare enrollment numbers could be trusted. Turns out, we were right to be skeptical. The White House had been vastly inflating the figures all along.This week, Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell admitted that ...
In his immigration speech Thursday night, President Obama announced his intention to sign an executive order that "temporarily" (or until his term is over in January 2015) allows an estimated 4 million illegal aliens to remain in the U.S., he merely formalized what he was already doing. He never ...

The disgraced cyclist follows in the footsteps, so to speak, of Lindsay Lohan, who also turned them down.
Show brass allegedly offered the disgraced athlete a spot on the upcoming spring edition of the reality show but Armstrong declined.
The network reportedly approached Armstrong before his recent doping confession on Oprah Winfrey.
Although, Armstrong's spokesperson did tell EW that "DWTS" has courted the cyclist every single year: "Although flattered, he has passed on their generous offers."

Chanting ÔÇťkids helping kids,ÔÇŁ students ran and walked laps outside of Wapakoneta Elementary School as they raised money for the Ronald McDonald House on Friday.
ÔÇťItÔÇÖs about kids helping kids get better cause they are sick,ÔÇŁ second-grader Collin Lenhart, 8, said. ÔÇťWe want to help them get better and feel better.ÔÇŁ
Nine-year-old Cooper Talowsky said specifically, they were walking to help children and their families, who are staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
He said by the students raising money, it allows families to stay for free in the house in Dayton and have what they need while their children are hospitalized.
Cooper said for every pop tab they turn in, they earn several cents to support the Ronald McDonald House and the students brought in ÔÇťlots and lotsÔÇŁ of pop tabs they collected at home.
ÔÇťItÔÇÖs just another way we can help,ÔÇŁ Cooper said.
Even after he moves on from elementary school, the third-grader said he would like to continue to find a way to support families and children in need, something he has
learned about through the schoolÔÇÖs service learning project.
ÔÇťItÔÇÖs good to help families and kids who need it,ÔÇŁ Cooper said. ÔÇťItÔÇÖs important they be close together.
ÔÇťThe kids are probably scared without their parents,ÔÇŁ he said, remembering back to a couple years ago when he had to stay overnight in the hospital and how frightened he was.
During a kickoff earlier in the year, guest speaker Van Wright encouraged students at the school to ÔÇťdo whatever small thing they could to make a difference.ÔÇŁ Many of them took that to heart.
ÔÇťIt doesnÔÇÖt matter how much,ÔÇŁ Wright said. ÔÇťIt just matters that you help. Every one of you can help.ÔÇŁ
Through the years, Wapakoneta students have raised more than $130,000 to donate to charities. This year they added another $18,076 to that tally ÔÇö more than tripling their $5,000 goal for the Ronald McDonald House.
Along with the financial support, students also made windsocks this year to send back to the hospitalized children, whose families are staying in the Ronald McDonald House.
The service learning project started at Centennial Elementary School and has carried over to the new Wapakoneta Elementary School as it encourages students to think about other people.
ÔÇťWe work with such young kids, we wanted to get a project they could relate to,ÔÇŁ physical education teacher Amy Burke, who is one of its organizers, said. ÔÇťWe want them to understand that itÔÇÖs important to help other people, others who are less fortunate. We want to raise caring, productive citizens.ÔÇŁ
She and the other teachers stressed the idea that, ÔÇťIf you need me, I will help you.ÔÇŁ
With all the studentsÔÇÖ earnings going toward the Ronald McDonald House in Dayton, Burke said they stress to students how the money they give helps families stay together during difficult times as the Ronald McDonald House creates a home away from home in a ÔÇťhouse that love built.ÔÇŁ
The schoolÔÇÖs 900 students, in kindergarten through fourth-grades, collected pop tabs and participated in other fundraising efforts from the first day of school until just minutes before final tallies were read Friday.
Classes do a variety of projects to make money to donate, often doing the work themselves, from making and selling Buckeye necklaces, chocolate and slime, to selling a wide array of items ranging from spirit shakers and decals to spirit bands and Easter eggs.
Teachers hosted a quarter auction this year, worked at the local McDonaldÔÇÖs restaurant during McTeacher Night, and students paid to see them participate in Minute to Win It games. Red paper Ronald McDonald shoes purchased by students for 25 cents each lined the hallways and the gymnasium on Friday.
ÔÇťItÔÇÖs not about being the top money maker but what is important is that they learn to give back, to pay it forward and give to others,ÔÇŁ said Mary Beth Webb, a paraeducator actively involved with the project at the school.
ÔÇťThey try real hard,ÔÇŁ Burke said. ÔÇťWe tell them there are all different ways they can help and bringing in tabs is one way, thatÔÇÖs easy for everybody. It all helps. ItÔÇÖs not just about sticking your hand out and asking for money. People need help and we can help them in all different ways.ÔÇŁ
Students collected more than 3.8 million, or 2,478 pounds of pop tabs, which added more than $1,730 to the total they were able to donate.
ÔÇťWe have a building full of not only good kids and families, but good staff,ÔÇŁ Burke said of their success.
Community partners sponsoring activities Friday, helped make reaching the end goal a real celebration.
ÔÇťIt is such a big deal to the kids,ÔÇŁ Burke said.
Offering further encouragement to students were their teachers and staff members who accepted their own wagers if the school met its fundraising goal, with some planning to take pies in the face, get slimed or silly stringed, or even die their hair purple for an assembly next Friday.
ÔÇťIÔÇÖm so proud of each and every one of you,ÔÇŁ Mary Monfort, who owns several area McDonaldÔÇÖs restaurants, told the students Friday.

Bangladesh-India: Khaleda Zia's visit a sign of changing times
Back To Main Bangladesh
Delhi rolled out the red carpet for a Bangladeshi opposition leader known for her strong nationalistic stances and anti-India rhetoric. Khaleda Zia and her party, meanwhile, are speaking of a "new chapter" and promising to build on better bilateral ties.
Former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia wrapped up her weeklong visit to India on Saturday (November 3rd), pledging she would do her best to further strengthen relations between the two countries. The warm reception she received may have surprised some, given Zia's past penchant for strong anti-Delhi rhetoric, as well as accusations that she supported, during her previous tenures as prime minister, extremist organisations that threaten India.
But the two South Asian nations have forged closer ties in recent years, and Indian officials say they want to make sure the momentum continues if Zia's Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP) wins the next general elections in Bangladesh, set for 2014.
"We think that by engaging leaders representing all shades of opinion in South Asia, the dream of harnessing economic and social potential through co-operation will be realised," Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Syed Akbaruddin told Khabar South Asia.
Speaking to Khabar, a senior BNP leader also sounded bullish about the diplomatic prospects.
"India is a very important country for us and we want to open a 'new chapter' towards settling all outstanding bilateral problems in a friendly way," Mahbubur Rahman, told Khabar. "Separatism is one of the big concerns of India. And she (Zia) has rightly expressed her readiness to help India in this regard. But we would also expect Delhi to reciprocate our gesture so that they do not harbour any anti-Bangladesh elements."
Analysts in Bangladesh say Zia recognises that bilateral co-operation would be key to the success of any future BNP administration.
"It is a fact of life that any party must earn India's confidence to stay in power as our water security, food security, energy security, environmental security and other issues are heavily reliant on her," former Bangladesh diplomat Harun ur Rashid told Khabar.
Reassurances about militancy
For years, Zia has been distrusted in India because officials there believe her administration during her two tenures as prime minister, from 1991 to 1996 and again from 2001 to 2006 allowed separatist and terrorist groups to use Bangladeshi territory to mount cross-border operations.
But comments she made during the recent visit seem designed to assure Delhi that times have changed. Zia declared that she wants to look forward and not dwell on the past a remark interpreted in India as an acknowledgment of India's concerns.
Former Indian Foreign Minister Jaswant Singh said marginalising Zia and the BNP has not done much to solve the problem of militancy.
"In the past, India kept Khaleda at bay, which only pushed the BNP deeper into the embrace of anti-India groups. But Khaleda herself is changing now. She has given interviews in recent days openly admitting to the 'mistakes' inherent in her anti-India stance," he said.
Building on recent gains
Bilateral ties have improved significantly since the current prime minister and head of the Awami League, Sheikh Hasina, took office for the second time in 2009.
Among other initiatives, steps have been taken to connect Bangladesh's Chittagong Port with the landlocked Indian northeast, forming a trade corridor likely to yield economic benefits for both countries. They have also teamed up to help solve the region's chronic energy woes.
In the security arena, the two countries are on the verge of signing an extradition treaty, which will facilitate the handover of wanted terrorists.
Hasina's government has pledged to hand over Anup Chetia, the separatist leader from Assam, and analysts say India expects any future Zia administration to follow through with that promise.
