Description This application claims the benefit of the filing date of co-pending U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/818,185 filed Jun. 30, 2006, entitled METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMBINING AN RFID ACTIVE KERNEL INLAY WITH A LABEL STOCK. RFID articles such as labels, tags, etc are typically equipped with a microchip electrically, i.e., conductively, capacitively and/or inductively, connected to an antenna so that the chip may be read from and/or written to via radio frequency carrier energy provided and sensed, by an interrogator or reader. RFID articles often include an RFID inlay that carries the microchip and antenna on a convenient poly or paper base layer in a �wet� format, i.e., coated on one side with a pressure sensitive adhesive for bonding the inlay to the article, or, in a �dry� format with no adhesive. Inlays are provided by companies such as Alien Technologies of Morgan Hill, Calif., Avery Dennison of Clinton, S.C., and TAGSYS of Cambridge, Mass. To achieve manufacturing economies of scale, inlays are typically provided in a limited number of antenna formats for general use. In some cases, a customized antenna is desirable to achieve longer range or optimize performance where the size, shape or contents of an RFID article-equipped carton affect the rf performance of the inlay. TAGSYS of Cambridge, Mass. offers an alternative to the conventional chip/antenna inlay combination with its AK� of Active Kernel� technology, �Kernel� refers to a relatively small (approximately �″ square) UHF (ultra high frequency) inlay consisting of a poly film carrying a microchip and a metallic loop antenna where the chip is conductively connected to the loop antenna. As the loop antenna is relatively small and simply shaped, the reading/writing range of the kernel inlay is relatively short, perhaps less than one foot, compared to a typical UHF inlay with a range of 3-10 feet. This �kernel� provides a �common denominator� or universal form factor inlay that may be used with a second antenna to increase reading/writing range and other performance characteristics. The kernel inlay is applied in relatively close proximity to the second antenna, but the kernel inlay typically does not touch or otherwise conductively connect to the second antenna. The kernel inlay inductively couples or resonates with the second antenna and this resonance increases reading/writing range of the combined kernel inlay and second antenna. The second antenna may be formed using a variety of known techniques, such as printing with a conductive ink, etching or grinding from a metallic layer, stamping a metallic foil, etc. and the second antenna may be carried on a variety of substrates such as paper or poly film. The structure and interaction of the kernel inlay and second antenna is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,172,608 of Cole, the disclosure of which is expressly incorporated herein in its entirety. To date, no process has been disclosed for combining dry (no adhesive) AK inlays with secondary antennas to make RFID articles such as labels, tags or tickets. In one embodiment, a method and apparatus is provided for making an RFID-equipped label comprising: feeding a web of uniformly spaced kernel inlays, cutting the kernel inlays in registration with their associated antennas, i.e., between spaced antennas to define a single kernel inlay, and applying the kernel inlay in a predetermined position onto a second (or �secondary�) web of label stock upon which second antennas are provided in spaced relation so that the kernel inlay is located in operative electromagnetic relationship, with, but spaced from, the associated second antenna. In alternative embodiments, the secondary antennas may be provided in a number of ways such as printing with conductive ink, chemical etching portions of metalized layer, grinding portions of a metalized layer, stamping a metallic foil, or plating. The second antenna may also be provided as another web, and cut and applied to the article in a predetermined position. Further, the second antenna may be located on the face or, alternatively, the back of the label facestock. The label facestock may be equipped with a variety of known label adhesives and known release liners, or the label may be linerless, that is, wound upon itself with no release liner. Similarly alternative embodiments may include the kernel inlay and second antenna on the same side of the label facestock or one of the inlay and second antenna on the front and the other on the back of the label facestock. Other RFID articles may be produced with the method, such as event or transit tickets, which typically do not include an adhesive for adhering the article to another item. In the case of tickets, there may be a front and back layer with the kernel inlay and second antenna therebetween or with the kernel inlay applied to a separate surface from the second antenna. Applicator apparatus adaptable for feeding cutting and applying kernel inlays is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,207,001 of Steidinger et al and PCT Application No. PCT/US2006/015986 of Steidinger et al, the disclosures of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. Another RFID article produced with the method may be folding cartons where the cartons may be in a web format or as a stream of individual cartons. The kernel inlays and secondary antennas may be applied to the inside or outside surface of the carton, or the kernel inlay on one side of the carton and the second antenna on the other. Applicator apparatus adaptable for applying kernel inlays of the inventive method to a predetermined location on a stream of individual cartons is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,772,663 of Machamer, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety. Label construction or web 10 may also include a release liner 17 and an adhesive 18 a selected from known pressure sensitive adhesive, remoistenable, heat-activated or other known adhesives. The kernel inlay substrate 12 a may be adhered to the label 11 via the adjacent portion of adhesive 18 a. The portion of adhesive 18 a covered by kernel inlay substrate 12 a is not available to adhere the label 11 to a subsequent article such as a package, envelop or other product. The covered portion of adhesive 18 a may be supplemented by an adhesive pattern 18 b. Adhesive pattern 18 b may be the same size, larger, or smaller than the inlay substrate 12 a, as desired, and secures the inlay. In some cases, the release liner 17 may be omitted if the upper surface 11 a of the label facestock 11, the adhesive 18 a, and if used, adhesive 18 b are selected to allow the label web 10 to be wound, rolled, or coiled upon itself, in a construction known as a linerless label. In the case of the linerless label, the roll of labels may be unwound as the surface 11 a of the label 11 has less affinity for the adhesive 18 than the surface 11 b. The drawings are not to scale, particularly in that the thicknesses of the components may be exaggerated for clarity and in actual practice are much thinner so that the �bump� created by the stack-up of the kernel inlay 12, components 12 a, 13, and 14 plus adhesive 18 b, if used, is also much thinner and less noticeable than illustrated. Turning to While not shown, kernel inlay 12 may alternatively be adhered to the label facestock upper surface 11 a ( Similar to the label construction, the kernel inlay 22 of the ticket embodiment has a pitch P (along the longitudinal length of the article) and is typically located in a predetermined position on a ticket with a longitudinal dimension between leading or corresponding edges on adjacent articles, or �repeat� denoted R. In the longitudinal dimension, the predetermined position is denoted as D in The second antenna 26 is shown on the outer surface 29 a but may alternatively be placed on surfaces 27 a, 27 b, or 29 b. An adhesive 28 such as pressure sensitive adhesive, remoistenable adhesive, hot melt adhesive, heat activated or other known adhesive or bonding technique may be used to bond upper and lower laminates 29, 27 together. As an alternative embodiment, one of the laminates 27, 29 may cover only a portion of the other. As a further alternative, one of the layers 27 or 29 may be deleted, with kernel inlay 22 and second antenna 26 located on the remaining layer. A schematic front view of a basic feed/cut/vacuum applicator apparatus 750 is shown in In Web 751 proceeds to vacuum cylinder 754 via an idler roller 757 which deflects web 751 in an advantageous wrap on the vacuum cylinder 754 so that vacuum supplied to the surface of vacuum cylinder 754 in a variety of known ways may act on web 751, thereby holding web 751 onto the outer surface of vacuum cylinder 754. Idler roller 757 may be deleted if positions of feed rollers 753 a,b and vacuum cylinder 754 are adjusted or relocated to similarly feed web 751 onto vacuum cylinder 754. Cutting cylinder 755 is equipped with at least one blade 756 and cooperates with vacuum cylinder 754 to sever one kernel inlay, such as 751 c from web 751. The separated kernel inlays are secured to the surface of vacuum cylinder 754 by applied vacuum and move at the surface speed of the vacuum cylinder until released and applied to carrier web 710, as at 751 d,e, etc. Vacuum cylinder 754 may be hardened to provide a suitable, long wearing anvil surface for blade 756 to cut against. Vacuum cylinder 754 may be mechanically driven using gears, pulleys driveshafts, etc. from a host machine, such as a flexographic printing press supplied by Mark Andy of Chesterfield, St. Louis. The host machine, conveys carrier web 710 in a manner that controls web tension, speed, and position. Cutting cylinder 755 may foe mechanically driven by vacuum cylinder 754 using gears, for example, or from the host machine using known methods so that one kernel inlay 751 c, etc, of pitch P is cut and then applied for every label or ticket repeat R of the carrier web 710. Kernel inlay 751 e, for example may be applied at a predetermined location on web 710, for example so the inlay may fee positioned a distance D from a feature on the label, ticket, tag or carton as shown in Alternatively, one or both of the vacuum cylinder 754 and cutting cylinder 755, may be servo driven via a servo control system where the feed rollers 753 a or 753 b, vacuum, and cutting cylinders are controlled by and communicate with an Indramat PPC servo controller 766 via fiber optics and SERCOS protocol and operate according to Visual Motion programs. The system operator may interface with the servo control system via a UniOP Exor touchscreen provided by SITEK S.p.A. of San Giovanni Lupatoto V R, Italy. Servo control system also includes an input from an optical scanner 758 such as supplied by Keyence Corporation of USA of Woodcliff Lake, N.J. This allows coordination of the feed rollers 753 a,b and cutting cylinder 755 so that blade 756 cuts inlay web 751 between adjoining antennas 24 thus delivering a cut kernel inlay 751 c, etc, (12, 22, 32 as illustrated in Typically, dimensions D, P, and R remain constant through a given production run. Any of dimensions D, P, R may, however, intentionally vary during the course of a job. For example, placing inlays at alternating locations on a label, where the label is placed in an otherwise constant location on a stack of closely spaced items such as envelopes, allows more reliable reading of the inlays. U.S. Pat. No. 5,766,406 of Brod disclosed dynamically or cyclically varying the speeds of the servo drives to feeding, cutting, and vacuum axes to intentionally vary dimensions D, P, and/or R from article to article and the disclosure thereof is incorporated here in its entirety. Adhesive may be required to adhere kernel inlays to a substrate, particularly the tag or ticket laminations 27 or 29 of Vacuum cylinder applicator 750 may be installed in and coordinated with a web transport system 840 ( In the case of label web 10 ( The label facestock 11, with adhesive 18 a and kernel inlays 851 a,b, are relaminated with release liner 17 at relamination station 822 in press finishing section 817 where the label web 10 of In alternative embodiments, the second antenna 16 may be on the same side of label facestock 11 as kernel inlay 12 with the processing apparatus 940 reconfigured as shown in Release liner 17 is supplied from roll 920 ( The facestock 11 including secondary antennas 16 and kernel inlays 951 a,b,c are laminated with release liner 17 and adhesive 18 a′ at lamination station 922 and further processed as previously disclosed. In the case of a tag or ticket construction of In an alternative embodiment, not shown, secondary antenna 16 rather than being printed directly on a surface of facestock 11, may instead be supplied on a separate web, similar to the kernel inlay web 951. The secondary antennas could then be fed, cut and applied by an additional applicator (not shown) and applied to facestock web 11 in a predetermined position to allow function and interaction with kernel inlays. This may be advantageous where secondary antennas are produced by methods less compatible with the printing press-based web handling device shown in Another kind of vacuum applicator is described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,772,663 of Machamer. This vacuum applicator was originally developed to apply thin film windows to folding cartons where the folding cartons are discrete pieces carried at varying repeats, R, on earner bells such as in a folding-gluing machine. This vacuum applicator has feed roller(s) and cutting cylinder much like the vacuum cylinder applicator, but the vacuum cylinder has been replaced by one or more vacuum belt assemblies. The instant invention may employ such methods and apparatus. A basic vacuum belt applicator 1050 installed on a host machine such as a carton folder-gluer that feeds carton blanks 1031 onto carrier belts 1062. Carrier belts 1062 are driven and cooperate with upper belts 1063 which hold carton blanks 1031 against driven carrier belts 1062 causing the carton blanks 1031 to be moved in the direction of the arrow at a speed essentially matching the speed of the driven belts 1062. The hopper feeder 1064 feeds carton blanks 1031 onto carrier belts 1062, at slower speed than carrier belts 1062 with a resulting gap between carton blanks 1031 on carrier belts 8102. The carton blanks 1031 thus feed at a nominal pitch or repeat R which may vary somewhat due to inconsistencies in feeding at hopper feeder 1064. The vacuum belt applicator 1050 can react to variations in repeat R by scanning the position of a lead or trail edge of a carton blank 1031 using an optical scanner 1065. Scanner 1065 sends an input to servo controller 1066 which controls the speed and timing of several servo motors which drive at least one of the feed rollers 1053 a, b, and the cutting cylinder 1055. In this case the servo drives for at least one of feed cylinders 1053 a, 1053 b and cutting cylinder 1055 rotate the rollers intermittently in response to the carton edge sensed by scanner 1065. The vacuum, belts are also servo-driven and controlled so that the speed of the vacuum belt(s) 1067 essentially matches the continuous speed of the carrier belts 1062. According to the invention, when practiced using the type of equipment described herein, a web of kernel inlays 1051 is unwound from a roll of kernel inlays 1052 by the feeding action of feed rollers 1053 a,b. The web 1051 proceeds onto vacuum belts 1061 and is cut by blade 1056 of rotating cutting cylinder 1055 contacting anvil surface 1068 which rides on vacuum belt (s) 1067. Referring to Once the web of kernel inlays 1051 is cut, the cut inlay 1051 a accelerates to the surface speed of the vacuum belt(s) 1067 and is conveyed toward the predetermined position on a particular folding carton blank 1031 a which is sensed by scanner 1065 and thereby located by servo controller 1066. In a similar manner, inlay 1051 b is already en route to placement on the desired position on carton blank 1031 b which was scanned by scanner 1065 at a repeat Rb. The desired position of inlay 1051 a, 1051 b on cartons 1031 a, 1031 b may be in relation to a physical feature on carton blank such as an edge of a carton blank or an antenna on the carton blank. The antenna may be pre-printed on the carton blank 1031 and may be on the upper surface 1031 upper or lower surface 1031 lower. As previously mentioned, the RFID article may be constructed with the kernel inlay 1051 a on the same surface as, or on an opposite surface from, the second antenna. The surface 1031 upper generally becomes the inner surface of a finished carton and the location of kernel, inlay 1051 a on an inner surface of the carton may be chosen to allow protection from damaging external forces, impacts, peeling, tampering, etc. or to obscure the kernel inlay from view. Similarly, the secondary antenna may be protected on the inside of the carton. Or the antenna may be displayed on the outside as an overt feature, or to separate the secondary antenna from the eventual contents of the carton, possibly enhancing antenna performance by separating it slightly from metallic contents, for example. Kernel inlay 1051 a, 1051 b may be adhered to its respective carton blank 1031 a, 1031 b by adding an adhesive to the upper surface, 1031 upper, by means of an adhesive applicator 1068, illustrated schematically as a roller type where the rollers may also be servo driven and controlled by controller 1066 to coordinate its application of adhesive in register with the intermittent motion of web 1051. Adhesive applicator may also be an extrusion type such as supplied by ITW Dynatec of Hendersonville, Tenn. which may also be controlled by processor 1066 to apply adhesive intermittently or continuously onto web 1051. In the case of �wet� kernel inlays, the inlays 1051 a, 1051 b may be supplied such as pressure sensitive labels on a release liner. A conventional peel mechanism peels individual kernel inlays 1051 a, 1051 b from the liner and dispenses them onto the vacuum belt, as a functional alternative to the cutting operation of cutting cylinder 1055 and blade 1056. In this embodiment the adhesive of the �wet� inlay would be exposed on kernel inlay upper surface 1051. When kernel inlay 1051 a is applied to a carton blank 1031 a in the predetermined position, the exposed adhesive adheres the kernel inlay to the carton blank 1031 a. Having thus disclosed in detail an embodiment of the invention, persons skilled in the art will be able to modify the structure illustrated and substitute equivalent elements for those disclosed; and it is, therefore, intended that all such substitutions and equivalents be covered as they are embraced within the scope of the appended claims.

Last year I saw this beetle on my Midnight Blue roses. It was litterally cutting down the stamens as if it was collecting them for their pollen. To my knowledge it did no damage to the leaves, petals, or pistol. I didn't think to take a picture of it then, but today I saw it on my mother's daylilies and I was wondering if it might be a beneficial bug (hopefully one that eats thrips, as we are infested with them!). Does anyone know what it is and what it eats? If it's not harmful I plan to leave it alone. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cucumber Beetle - they only eat the rose stamens. Annoying things. It will damage the foliage of Cucurbits in your garden, but won't likely bother the roses except for the stamens. |
Looks like a Spotted Cucumber Beetle... I have little knowledge on their habits though. |
I have known the SCB to nibble on petals, but not a big deal. They are hard to catch! |
I get these every year too. I do notice some damage but it never seems to be that much so I ignore them. |
Okay, so they aren't a problem for me then. Thanks everyone! |
I have wondered about these so did a little search. From Wikipedia: In the adult form, it eats and damages leaves of many crops, including cucumbers, soybeans, cotton, beans, and many others. In the larval form, which is known as the southern corn rootworm, it tunnels through the roots of young plants, stunting or killing them. These native pests have a wide range of host plants, but will readily infest a field of crop plants, most notoriously corn. |

Gear Question
Just got a pair of 11's and am debating...
Just got a pair of 11's and am debating on stepping it down due to packout. I only getout maybe 20 times a year if that.
What are the thoughts out there? Should I get 10.5's and hate half a year if my riding or deal with some what comfy boots that may loosen up over time?
Wooden Robots
What size of show do you wear? Burton boots are 1:1 lasting, this means that they make boots to be the same as shoe sizes. If you are true 10.5 then get the 10.5, if you are an 11 then stick with the 11. Ions will pack out just a bit bot not that much. If you are worried about it then run the 10.5
This is all about feel. Get the size where your toes are touching the end but not jammed up in there. If they fit like this then the pack out won't matter too much. You definitely don't wanna crowd your toes tho and you DON'T want them to be loose when you buy them.

Rushing for 221 yards in four games, including 121 in Thursday night's preseason finale against the New York Jets, apparently wasn't enough to earn undrafted free agent running back Henry Josey a berth on the Eagles' 53-man roster.
There was, however, an undrafted free agent who did make the team, and that is tight end Trey Burton from the University of Florida. Burton showed a real knack for making difficult catches. He was targeted six times against the Jets and caught all six passes for 45 yards and a touchdown.

Remember this guy? While serving as Republican governor of So. Carolina, he disappeared for several days, then reappeared, saying he'd gone hiking in the mountains. But he was exposed as a philanderer, having an affair with a South American woman, not his wife. Then he ran for the U. S. House of Representatives against a TV comedian's sister, a Dem. In interviews, he explained his rehabilitation as a pol by claiming God had forgiven him and "by God's grace, the voters gave me another chance." God may have forgiven him, but I have not. Appealing to the delusions of voters in his state got this sorry sap elected to national office. Jesus put him in the same bunch of obstructionist rubes that are killing all progressive legislation at the national level. He is no longer a South Carolina disgrace, he is a national disgrace. Thank you, So. Carolina. Too stupid to vote.
I would say something nice about Illinois, but most of our Governers go to prison...
Melinda, here in Illinois, we have adopted term limits for politicians. One term in office, and the next term in federal prison.
I echo your comment wholeheartedly James. Being a USA citizen is an embarrassment. To claim he has been given grace, and voters buying into that delusion, says too much of what this country is not about. I don't care if he cheats on his wife, that is their business. I do care if he cheats on me, and he has, by the stances he takes. Hypocrite, bigot, deceiver, dogmatist! Not qualities I admire.

Black And Female: Destined To Be Single?
By Carol Taylor
Is there a crisis in black relationships? Despite millions of examples of loving couples, black women and men still have negative perceptions of each other. As a successful black woman in her 30s, marriage is on my mind. So I set out to find out where these perceptions came from—and if they are true.
Donna L. Franklin's 2001 book, What's Love Got to Do with It?, shows that 7 out of 10 black mothers give negative messages to their daughters about black men. Did my mom give me negative messages about black men? No, she didn't have to. I got them from watching my parents' relationship.
My father was a "player" proving his manhood through multiple families and women as so many West Indian men of a his generation did. My father's philandering definitely had an impact on how I viewed men in general and black men in particular: They were duplicitous, cheaters, liars who used black women, really all women for their own needs and egos. I would see this again when my brother cheated repeatedly on his wife and then left her for—you guessed it—a white woman. This is probably why I'm still unmarried, that and because I can't seem to find any black men to date in my social circle.
As a successful black woman in corporate America I had a very hard time finding black men who understood and weren't intimidated by my busy lifestyle, weren't already dating or married to white women and who weren't gay. When I left the corporate world, and moved to black-man-friendly Brooklyn, I had a much easier time finding black men, unfortunately far too many of them were players. I'll admit though, I'd often choose a "bad boy" over a good prospective partner and have a bad experience, which then created a bad perception. That said, it seemed the odds were often stacked against me: 9 out of 10 times, the good-looking, smart, articulate, cultured black men I met were in multiple relationships, or either had a girlfriend or were married and "forgot" to tell me. In fact, had it not been for the tattoo of his wife's name on his arm, I might not have known that the last man I was out on a date with was married.

When I travel abroad and talk to foreigners about the U.S. passion for guns, people sometimes express a conclusion that horrifies me: In America, life is cheap.
President Barack Obama announced a terrific series of gun-control measures to show that we do indeed hold life dear. But the fate of these proposals ultimately will depend on centrist Americans who are torn. They're troubled by the toll of guns but also think that it's reassuring to have a Glock when you hear a floorboard creak downstairs.
So, to those of you wavering, let me tell you the story of a goose.
I grew up on a farm in Yamhill, Ore., a rural town where nearly every home had guns. My dad gave me a .22 rifle for my 12th birthday, and I then took an NRA safety course.
I understand the heartland's affection for guns, and I share that sense of familiarity. A farm needs a gun or two to deal with coyotes with a fondness for lamb, and, frankly, it's also fun to shoot.
But all those guns didn't make us safer. Take the time we gave a goose to a neighbor.
That goose would wander off to a different neighbor's property and jump into the watering trough for his sheep. The sheep owner was furious that the water would be fouled, and one time he was so fed up he threatened to shoot the goose.
He was probably just making a point, but, since he had a gun handy, he pulled it out and aimed it in the direction of the goose. Seeing this, the goose-owner (who had come to fetch his bird) saw the need to protect his property and pulled out his own gun. They faced off — over a goose!
Our neighbors were both good, admirable, law-abiding people, but their guns had led to a dangerous confrontation. The NRA might say that guns don't kill people, geese kill people, but in the absence of firearms they wouldn't have menaced each other with axes or hammers.
The sheep-owner's wife eventually persuaded the men to stand down. Good sense prevailed, the goose survived, and so did the neighbors.
But I think of that episode because it underscores the role that guns too often play in our society: an instrument not of protection but of escalation.
Lovers throw plates at each other and then one indignantly reaches for a gun — maybe just to scare the other. And then, too often, something goes wrong.
One study, reported in Southern Medical Journal in 2010, found that a gun is 12 times more likely to result in the death of a household member or guest than in the death of an intruder. Another study in 1993 found that gun ownership creates nearly a threefold risk of a homicide in the owner's household.
Far too many Americans are like Nancy Lanza, who may have thought that her guns would make her safer and then was killed with them. Something similar happened in Yamhill, where a troubled teenager took a gun that his grandmother owned and shot her dead. The NRA is right that most guns are used safely, but it's also true that guns are more likely to cause tragedies than to avert them.
Obama said that there have been 900 violent gun deaths since Sandy Hook, but that was a rare error. He perhaps was speaking of gun homicides only, but he should also include gun suicides — which are even more common and certainly qualify as violent firearms deaths.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calculates that each year there are more than 11,000 gun homicides and nearly 19,000 gun suicides. That's 30,000 firearms deaths a year in the United States. At that rate, there have already been some 2,500 violent gun deaths since Sandy Hook.
David Hemenway, a public health specialist at Harvard, says that having a gun at home increases the risk of suicide in that household by two to four times.
To reduce auto deaths, we've taken a public health approach that you might call "car control" — driver's licenses, air bags, seat belts, auto registration. The result is a steady decline in vehicle fatalities so that some time soon gun deaths are likely to exceed traffic fatalities, for the first time in modern U.S. history.
There are no magic solutions to the gun carnage in America. But in the same spirit as what we've accomplished to make driving safer, Obama has crafted careful, modest measures that won't solve America's epidemic of gun violence but should reduce it.
If we could reduce gun deaths by one-quarter, that would be 7,500 lives saved a year. Unless life in America really is cheap, that's worth it.

Borders taking preorders on $150 Kobo eReader
Hoping to gain a foothold in the nascent e-reader arena, Borders is selling the relatively inexpensive Kobo. It ships June 17.
Not to be left out of the fast-growing e-reader and e-book arenas, Borders has announced that it's begun taking preorders for the Kobo, a $150 e-reader that ties into the upcoming Borders' e-book store, which is powered by Kobo Inc. The Kobo eReader was revealed several months ago but after a slight delay, the device will ship June 17 and is being billed as an ideal Father's Day gift.
As the price suggests, the Kobo, which has the same-size 6-inch e-ink display as the $259
Needing sort of a hook to make its presence felt in the e-reader space, Borders' strategy of going with an affordable $150 price tag is probably a smart move--and maybe its only one. Late last year, the company took a stake in Kobo Inc., which was originally called Shortcovers, a spin-off of Canada's Indigo Books & Music (Indigo remains the largest investor in the company).
A lot of people have called for Amazon to put out a more budget-priced e-reader, though the biggest rumors in recent months have Amazon potentially putting out a device with a color screen. In terms of other mainstream e-readers in the Kobo's price range, Sony's
We'll be getting an early look at the Kobo within the next couple of weeks and will let you now what we think once we play around with it. In the meantime, let us know what you think of the Kobo and its chances for success.

The Constitution should govern if the president is not sworn in
"The Constitution provides for the full absence of the president-elect"
It is up to the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) to make a decision in case the president cannot be sworn in next January 10, the speaker of the Venezuelan Congress noted (Photo: G Bandres)

Venezuela's opposition Unified Democratic Panel (MUD) underscored that the current Constitution provides for different scenarios concerning the day and time the Venezuelan president is expected to be sworn in. It is therefore the instrument to rely on in the event that Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez does not attend the ceremony next January 10.
"The National Constitution is the way to follow and we must comply with it," the deputy secretary of the opposition Unified Democratic Panel (MUD), Ramón José Medina, answered when queried as to the remarks made by the National Assembly's Speaker Diosdado Cabello late on Saturday. Cabello has proposed putting off the date the president is supposed to be sworn in if the latter is unable to be present. Moreover, the Congress' Speaker said that it is up to the Supreme Court of Justice (TSJ) to rule on this matter.
"The more Diosdado Cabello points out he does not intend to topple (Executive Vice-President Nicolás) Maduro and the more he says that the president will attend the sworn-in ceremony on January 10, the more suspicious and uncertainty he raises," the MUD's leader explained. "The Constitution provides for the full absence of the president-elect and whenever the acting president is sick; this may imply the incapacity to continue holding office. Incapacity, in this case, shall be duly announced based on the opinion of a medical team. The Constitution also provides for the abandonment of the office deriving from full absence, which shall be announced by the National Assembly," he remarked.
A foretaste of homegrown jihad
Three Venezuelans and five Trinidadians will stand trial on January 26 under the suspicion of being involved in alleged Muslim terrorist activities in Venezuela. After nine months in prison, the defendants will appear in court to face charges of terrorism brought against them by the Attorney General Office.

Help Carly Fleischmann get on Larry King on CNN
My name is Carly Fleischmann and as long as I can remember I've been diagnosed with autism. I am not able to talk out of my mouth, however I have found another way to communicate by spelling on my computer. I used to think I was the only kid with autism who communicates by spelling but last year I met a group of kids that communicate the same way. In fact some are even faster at typing then I am. Last year a story about my life was shown on ABC news, CNN and CTV here in Canada. After my story was played I kept on getting lots of emails from moms, dads, kids and people from different countries asking me all sorts of questions about autism. I think people get a lot of their information from so-called experts but I think what happens is that experts can't give an explanation to certain questions. How can you explain something you have not lived or if you don't know what it's like to have it If a horse is sick, you don't ask a fish what's wrong with the horse. You go right to the horse's mouth. That is why I want to go on Larry King's show on CNN, to be able to tell the truth and secrets of living with autism. But I need your help. My goal is to get five thousand signatures in two weeks for my petition to be on CNN with Larry King. I know what you are thinking, probably the same thing my mom and dad are……it's impossible. But if I have learnt one thing over the years of having autism, it is that anything is possible if you just believe. It's just when you don't believe, that's when you don't succeed. So I need you to believe and sign my petition page and go into your email and tell all your friends you believe and get them to sign my petition and maybe, just maybe they'll do the same thing and before you know it we will have all five thousand signatures. My aunt's friend set me up with a twitter page so you can follow my journey to sit and talk to Larry King. Thank you for believing in me as I believe in all of you. Your optimistic and excited friend, Carly Fleischmann

A brush of rather stiff white hair with a pointy edge with a long black handle, very elegant. This brush is excellent for applying shadow all over the lid, smudging eyeliner and applying shadow on the lower lid. But most of all, this brush is crease brush "for dummies" (this is me). It was impossible for me to do the outer V until I got this brush. Due to its pointy shape it's impossible for anyone not to achieve this smoky look seen on youtube (the dark shadow on half the crease and a darker shade on the V). I have tried a million times with other brushes and the result was just a dark stamp, so I was used to refer to smoky eyes as applying dark shadow all over the lid. The first time I used this lovely brush I understood why, no matter how much you have paid for a shadow or of how good quality it is, it's useless unless you have the right tool. It was rather expensive here, (almost 30-32 euros) but I would purchase again. It's the most valuable brush I own.
I bought this brush after seeing Pixiwoo use it in a youtube tutorial to do a Barbara Streisand smokey eye. I am not disappointed!
You can use this brush for so many things- smudging a darker shade into the outer corner or crease, placing colour along the lashline, or smudging pencil eyeliner for that Kate Moss look. It is a cinch to use, so easy to control and the bristles are of a lovely density- stiff enough to place colour accurately, but soft enough to blend/ smudge also.
This is a must have for me now.
This is a good brush to smudge eyeliner and shadows ;) it's stiff enough to ally to the outer > ! love prob won't buy again cause I bought 3 of these ;)
I love this, as it's so precise and you can use it on your eyes to define, or just smudge the eyeshadow. Pricey but worth the investment.
I love love love this brush, although the price was steep for it, I know I will have it for a very long time. I adore it and it is one of those purchases Im not regretting so far. I use it almost daily since buying it from maccosmetics.com
Great pencil brush, and much more than that. First off, it smudges pencil easily and beautifully. Gives you that smoked out effect but in a very neat and stuctured way - doesn't look like you just smeared the color all over with your fingers. Works on bare skin, or just over a base, or over multiple colors layered on top of each other. What it's also very good at, is getting at those smaller areas of the eye with precision: This is pretty much the only brush I'll use for highlighting my inner corner, and sometimes even the arch of my brow. Equally, it works just as well for defining the eye with darker colors, say you want a crease/bottom lashline/outer V that's a little sharper than usual, or you just happen to have a smaller crease/outer V area in general so you find that regular-sized blending brushes don't exactly do the trick for you. Go for this one. It packs on color nicely, and acts both as a mini "applier" and "blender" at the same time. Lovely, versatile brush. Would repurchase.
6 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This is a really surprising brush! It looks so small that I thought, what can it possibly do? Lots, actually. I use it mainly for highlighting but it can competently achieve many types of usage, with ease. The price is expensive but it is value for money in how it makes doing makeup easier and more polished. Definitely recommend you to get this after you get your eyeshadow and eyeliner brush. Its usage is not easily duplicated by those two brushes, thus you don't need to worry about wasting money on something extra that you don't really need. A definite rebuy although I hope mine can last for years!
Let me tell you why you need this brush. Yes you can smudge/apply colors along your lash line with it. I have hooded eyes. They aren't that big either. When I blend with my 217 on the crease it sort of undoes any lid color... turning everything into my crease color. Now the 219 is precise. I can make an "Outer V" perfectly. I can't place color exactly where i want and blend it without ruining the color on the rest of my eye. It is perfect for application for the crease.

This brush is heaven sent. This is by far one of the best brushes I have tried- and even though many prefer it for smudging eyeshadow on the lower lashline, I absolutely adore this for crease work. Since purchasing this, I have not reached for my MAC 217, 224 or Quo crease brush. The 219 has replaced them all. I initially purchased this for smudging colors onto my lower lashline, but I prefer my MAC 266 for that, as I find I have more control. One day, I decided to try this for my crease becuase the tip is so precise- and sure enough, this packed color perfect onto the crease while defining and creating shape, AND blending! ..... since then, this is all I use for crease work. I find the bristles pick up eyeshadow pigments extremly well and pack the color on more vibrantly then a fluffy brush. This brush is also great for picking up MAC solar bits (little crushed pigment clusters) and distribute them on the lower lashline without any fall-out. even though this cost me $29.50 CAD, it was so worth it. Everyone needs this brush in thier collection :)
5 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
So my dog recently, got a hold of my make up brushes and tore up all my blending brushes except for my MAC pencil brush. I loved this brush when i got it, but now i am utterly in looovee with this brush. I dont have a average size lid space and i love how i can awesome this brush blends. I can create smokey eyes still with this brush. It is my favorite brush out of all I've ever had!

Movie Reviews By Rob Hunter on August 8, 2012 | Comments (1)Is there anything more dangerously piquant than the angst of a teenage girl? The raw emotions, the budding sexuality and the passionate conviction that their feelings are matters of life and death all lend themselves towards the possibility of entertaining cinema. When handled correctly these characters can provide lurid thrills and wonderfully overwrought drama, but in less sturdy hands the results can be disaster. Even worse, it can result in mediocrity. Rebecca (Sarah Bolger) is returning to her all-girls boarding school excited to see friends and to try to put her father's suicide further behind her. Her best friend Lucie (Sarah Gadon) is the one she's happiest to see, and the two immediately fall into their old habits that have bonded them over the years. Into this tight friendship lands Ernessa (Lily Cole), a transfer student from the UK whose own father also killed himself. The new girl is odd in appearance and behavior, but nothing bothers Rebecca as much as Ernessa's immediate attempts to befriend Lucie and Lucie's almost as fast embrace of that friendship. She quickly grows jealous, and unable to conceal her feelings she upsets Lucie and loses the one thing that mattered most. When Lucie starts getting sick no one seems to see the connection between her mysterious illness and the presence of Ernessa, but when Rebecca's suspicions drive her to dig deeper and her friends start leaving school by car or by body bag she finds the newcomer is more than a simple mean girl.

Review: 'The Moth Diaries' Realistically Recreates How Boring Reading a 16-Year-Old Girl's Diary Is
Movie Reviews By Nathan Adams on April 19, 2012 | Be the First To CommentAs we get further and further out from The Twilight Saga's initial success, it starts to feel like more and more of a stretch to accuse everything featuring young women and vampires of being a cash grab meant to capitalize on the mainstream's fascination with Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. And yet, other than as a cash in on Twilight, I can honestly think of no other reason why a movie as miserable as The Moth Diaries would exist. A tale about the repressed sexuality of an all girls boarding school and how bottled up feelings bubble to the surface once a vampire is introduced into the mix, director Mary Harron's adaptation of the Rachel Klein novel of the same name fails on almost every level imaginable. Initially my instincts were to blame that on Klein's novel – which I haven't read – because Harron had already proven herself a capable adapter of literary works with her 2000 film American Psycho; but, on further inspection, the excuse of less than serviceable source material failed to explain the film's made for (crappy) TV look, the incapable actors that fill its supporting roles, or its scatter-shot, disjointed pacing. No, The Moth Diaries has to be a case of everyone involved firing on absolutely no cylinders.

Table of contents
The materials consist of correspondence, research files and teaching materials, and texts of the Nicomachean Ethics that have been collected in Greek, Arabic, Hebrew and Latin. Also included is his 1959 Ph.D. thesis "Ibn Bajjah and Maimonides: A Chapter in the History of Political Philosophy" (in Hebrew with English summary).
Lawrence B. Berman was the first Stanford University professor to specialize in Jewish Studies. After earning undergraduate degrees at the College of Jewish Studies in Chicago and the University of Chicago, he did graduate work at Brandeis University (M.A. 1954) and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem (Ph.D. 1960). He joined the Stanford faculty in 1967. Berman's particular interest was the effect of the translation of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics on the transmittal of its philosophical concepts. He taught courses in both Judaism and Islam, and at the time of his death in 1988 was developing a course on the Abrahamic tradition, attempting to compare the Jewish tradition with Christianity and Islam.

The primary objective of a brainstorming session among a group of individuals is for them to pitch in all ideas that they can contribute so that the group may be able to come up with a good idea amenable to everyone. Ideas from various sources are not supposed to cancel out each other but must instead find a way to use all good points that come out from each source positively. In businesses, civic groups, or clubs, members usually hold brainstorming sessions so that they may come up with a cohesive idea or solution to an issue being addressed. It is how companies channel its workers' ideas to make it function as an efficient unit. Compare it to the way any efficient PBX works and you pretty well get the idea: Open communication lines!Brainstorming sessions are done along the premise that if you democratize ideation among members of a group and each member of the group participates enthusiastically; a potentially good idea may be arrived at quickly. This can only happen, however, if the participants in a session are aware of the major requirements that make brainstorming activities successful. Basically, participants in a brainstorming session must be capable of generating useful, positive, logical, constructive, and doable ideas; and must be capable of respecting other participants' ideas. Discussed further below are the factors that make or break brainstorming sessions. What makes
• A serviceable premise or starting point. You get the ball rolling by defining the problem or clarifying the issue that needs to be addressed. This becomes the premise that rationalizes why you need to get your heads together to brainstorm for a solution. People naturally can only come up with coherent ideas about anything once they are properly informed or refreshed about the agenda. Keep in mind that a brainstorming session is essentially a meeting of the minds.• A high level of intelligent participation. It is easier to arrive at a good idea when those in participation are equipped with a good enough mind to come up with ideas that can be discussed intelligently. It is better to let all ideas out without anyone editing or canceling out any idea initially. Some groups list down all possible solutions or alternatives and then pick out the best, logical and the doable among them. • Solutions orientation. Discussions must be about solutions only after the main starting premise has been agreed upon. Going back to the problem or issue will only derail the thought momentum and the whole process.• Open-mindedness. It is easier to come to an agreement or consensus when participants all go about the discussion with open minds. Options, alternatives and possibilities are better explored when you venture into ideas with a mind willing to learn new things or view things from new perspectives.What breaks
• An unfocused objective. This is the result of a group's failure to define the problem or issue that needs to be addressed. This leads only to a frustrating experience where the group finds itself going round in circles around a number of issues but never arriving at any single resolution to anything being discussed. Avoid this by being definite about the problem or issue supposed to be addressed.• A lack of interest. Participants who hold back on their thoughts for fear of criticism or rejection are sources of disinterest in any discussion. The same rut you get into with members withholding important information so that their personal motives may not be adversely affected by whatever decision the group arrives at. Replace people like this with people having higher levels of participation and appreciation.• Analysis paralysis. Avoid this tendency to over read and analyze situations to the point of paranoia about potential repercussions group decisions may bring about. Overanalyzing and being overly critical of possible repercussions usually result in indecisiveness. Keep in mind that no decision made will always be worse than making a wrong decision. The latter can be corrected quickly while the former only invites disaster.• Absolutism. Being absolute about anything is the extreme anti-thesis of the very reason why groups brainstorm for good ideas. It is undemocratic, unprofessional, irrelevant and absolutely bad practice. Business is also about flexibility.

Basic Political Developments
Argentine opposition leader criticizes Venezuela ties
BUENOS AIRES, March 17 (Reuters) - Argentina is scaring off foreign
investment by allying with leftist Venezuela at the expense of ties to its
biggest export markets, the mayor of Buenos Aires said.
"Venezuela has one of the worst images in the world these days, but it
appears to be the best friend of the government and of our country," Mayor
Mauricio Macri, a prominent opposition figure, told Reuters in a recent
Macri said Argentina's economic boom of the past five years cannot
continue without major investment and he criticized President Cristina
Fernandez de Kirchner for failing to do more to lure foreign investors.
Macri holds one of Argentina's highest-profile political posts and is
touted as a potential presidential candidate in 2011, a suggestion he
brushed off but did not dismiss.
The businessman and ex-president of popular soccer team Boca Juniors took
office last year after defeating a candidate backed by former President
Nestor Kirchner, a key ally of Chavez, Latin America's most outspoken
leftist leader.
A center-leftist who succeeded her husband last year, Fernandez has
maintained the close relationship with Venezuela. Chavez has met the
Kirchners regularly, bought billions of dollars in Argentine debt and has
pledged to supply oil and diesel to help the country deal with energy
But Macri said Fernandez' friendship with the fiercely anti-U.S. Chavez is
costly, and Argentina should instead be improving ties with China, India,
Europe and the United States.
"Argentina needs to have a different foreign policy. Because of a lack of
foreign policy, investments haven't been what they should be."
Direct foreign investment in Argentina grew 12 percent last year, compared
with 84 percent in Brazil and 82 percent in Chile, La Nacion newspaper
reported on Sunday, citing a preliminary report from a United Nations
economic agency.
Fernandez blames the International Monetary Fund's policies, backed by the
United States, for leading Argentina into a deep financial crisis in
But Kirchner angered Wall Street by browbeating investors into taking
losses of some 70 cents on the dollar when Argentina halted payments on
its sovereign debt.
It also defaulted on $6.3 billion in debt owed to the Paris Club, an
informal group of wealthy creditor nations. No repayment deal has been
reached and Fernandez, like her husband, is angling for lenient terms.
One of two leaders of a fractious opposition, Macri has sought to portray
his city as business-friendly at a time when the country is making little
headway in improving its tattered image with many foreign investors.
Macri said he at times has struggled to win over investors and pointed to
a recent trip to Spain and Italy to build up interest in Buenos Aires.
"Even though they thought our proposals were attractive, if Argentina did
not pay its Paris Club debt, it was impossible for them to invest," he
said. "If we don't solve that problem, we will be trapped."
In his early months in office, Macri has focused on rooting out political
patronage jobs and attracting private investment in the transport and
housing sectors.
Argentina to Reject Sovereignty Violation at OAS
Buenos Aires, Mar 17 (Prensa Latina) Argentina will reject Monday any form
of violation of the territorial sovereignty, in the meeting called by the
Organization of American Status (OAS) on the Colombian military raid in
A release by Foreign Minister Jorge Taiana, who traveled to Washington
Sunday to attend the gathering today, will ratify that position and
express that the respect to the territorial sovereignty must be "an
inviolable principle in the international law."
The foreign minister talked in a telephone call with his regional
colleagues to foster a common diplomatic strategy.
The text states that Taiana will also confirm in the Washington forum his
government's conviction "in multilaterality and the principle that
illegality fights from legality."
The foreign minister's statements will coincide with those pronounced by
Argentinean President Cristina Fernandez in the 20th Rio Group Summit held
in Santo Domingo on March 7.
Participants in that summit ended the diplomatic regional conflict that
caused the entry of the Colombian troops in Ecuadorian soil, where Raul
Reyes, spokesman of the guerrilla Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia,
was killed.
It is expected the attendance of 34 regional foreign ministers in the US
capital's meeting.

Argentina to survey seabed from "North Malvinas to Georgia"
Argentina will begin in April, to the north of the "Malvinas islands all
the way to South Georgia", the last leg of its seabed survey to comply
with the United Nations Law of the Sea May 2009 timetable, reports the
Buenos Aires Saturday press.
The Argentine Navy oceanographic vessel "Puerto Deseado" has been
commissioned for the research task, --which includes "litigation areas"--,
so that Argentina can collect sufficient scientific and technical data on
the sea bed to make the official presentation before United Nations which
would enable her to have its continental platform border and rights
extended from 200 to 350 miles.
According to the Buenos Aires press Argentine government vessels normally
avoid that area so as not to generate incidents. However there was an
exception to the "non written rule" in 2006 when the Navy's icebreaker
"Almirante Irizar" crossed the area and caused a diplomatic incident
between Buenos Aires and London.
Apparently and according to Buenos Aires press reports last September when
it was revealed that Britain was involved in a similar task, Foreign
Affairs Secretary Jorge Taiana decided to speed Argentina's surveying of
the area (under dispute with the UK) so as to make the presentation before
the UN on time.
Buenos Aires press reports that last year Argentina and the UK ceased all
conversations on the issue, even when Britain offered to address the
technical surveys jointly. A proposition never replied to.
The effort in the "Malvinas-South Georgia" area admit Argentine sources
will be short of time and possibly is the last chance because after
collecting all the necessary data it must all be processed and prepared
for the presentation in a year's time. Argentina delay is linked to the
country's 2001/02 meltdown of the economy and lack of funds.
"Puerto Deseado" belongs to Argentina's naval Hydrographic Service and has
been refurbished with modern equipment for sea bed surveying including a
deep water bathymetric system and a Hypack processor. Apparently the
vessel is capable of surveying up to 5.000 meters depth.
According to Defence Minister Nilda Garre Argentina could add exclusive
economic rights to an additional one million square kilometers of
continental platform if it can supply sufficient evidence to extend its
rights from 200 to 350 miles of the sea bed.
The funds for the current operation were partly supplied by the United
Nations Development Program and involve over six million US dollars.
Evaluan un corte total de la frontera con Uruguay en Semana Santa
Vecinos de Colon y Concordia estudian sumarse al bloqueo de Gualeguaychu
desde el jueves
Lunes 17 de marzo de 2008
Los asambleistas de Entre Rios quieren aprovechar la Semana Santa, y el
previsible exodo turistico, para reforzar el reclamo contra Botnia con un
corte total de la frontera con Uruguay.
La idea es que al bloqueo de Gualeguaychu se sumen los vecinos de Colon y
Concordia, las otras dos ciudades que limitan con el pais vecino, con
cortes en la frontera.
El tema fue estudiado por un grupo de vecinos que participaron de una
asamblea regional el sabado pasado. Entre otras cosas, se hablo de que el
comienzo de la protesta en los tres pasos sea sorpresivo, es decir, sin
anuncio previo.
Para articular el corte con sus pares de Colon y Concordia, los vecinos de
Guleguaychu haran uso de lo que llaman "voto de confianza", un permiso
otorgado por la asamblea a algunos de sus miembros para que planeen y
lleven a cabo acciones sorpresa contra Botnia sin la autorizacion formal
de todo el grupo.
"Formalmente la asamblea no trato nada todavia. Pero hay votos de
confianza todavia y el tema se esta hablando con Colon", dijo a
LANACION.com Jose Pouler, de la asamblea de Gualeguayhu.
Su companero Alfredo de Angelis confirmo que la protesta simultanea
"siempre es una posibilidad y mas en Semana Santa" y preciso que, de
concretarse, el corte total de la frontera comenzara el proximo jueves.
Desde Colon, Carlos Serratti ratifico que el tema "se esta evaluando",
aunque evito dar detalles, tal vez para proteger el efecto sorpresa.
Concordia, la clave. Como cada vez que la asamblea de Gualeguaychu, -que
mantiene el paso a Fray Bentos bloqueado desde hace un ano y cuatro
meses-, planea una accion conjunta con sus vecinos, la clave esta en lo
que decidan los vecinos de Concordia.
Siempre mas reacios a cortar el paso a la ciudad uruguaya de Salto, suelen
ser los ultimos en sumarse a las protestas contra la pastera que funciona
en Fray Bentos desde noviembre del ano pasado.
National Economic Trends
Argentina can weather market turmoil -econ min
BUENOS AIRES, March 17 (Reuters) - Argentina's economy is strong enough to
withstand the turbulence roiling global markets, the country's economy
minister said on Monday.
"We have a healthy economy that is obviously healthier than in the past,
in an international context that is much more complicated than in the
past," Economy Minister Martin Lousteau said in a speech.
The Argentine economy "has shown very visible improvements on the fiscal
front, with important buffers like trade and budget surpluses, (hefty)
foreign reserves ... and less need for financing," he said.
Lousteau spoke as most Latin American stocks, currencies and debt weakened
on Monday after the bargain-basement sale of investment bank Bear Stearns
(BSC.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and emergency actions by the U.S.
Federal Reserve over the weekend highlighted the potential for a crisis in
the U.S. financial system.
Argentina's MerVal stock index was trading down 3.64 percent to 2,039.86
points, while the heavily intervened peso currency <ARSB=> was stable at
3.1825/3.185 to the U.S. dollar.
The Argentine economy is Latin America's third biggest, and has expanded
by more than 8 percent a year in each of the last five years, rebounding
from a 2001-02 financial meltdown.
Speaking during a presentation to university students, Lousteau said he
was focused on maintaining the country's fiscal strength and keeping the
peso at a competitive exchange rate to stimulate exports.
He also said he was working to ensure Argentine companies have sufficient
access to credit.

Argentine Farmers Protest for Fifth Day Over New Export Taxes
March 17 (Bloomberg) -- Argentine farmers will protest for a fifth day and
withhold produce after the government increased export taxes on grains and
oilseeds last week.
Farmers and unions will block highways and hold protests in cities across
the Argentine Pampas, the Argentine Rural Confederation said yesterday in
an e-mailed statement.
President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner introduced a variable export tax
last week that imposes levies of more than 44 percent, based on the prices
of soybeans and other crops traded on futures exchanges in Chicago.
Farmers say the taxes will discourage investment in this year's crop and
in cattle herds, leading to food shortages.
El campo sube la apuesta contra el Gobierno y extiende el paro hasta el
Lo anunciaron esta tarde dirigentes ruralistas e implica virtualmente que
el lock-out seguira hasta el martes 25, por los feriados de la Semana
Santa y el aniversario del golpe militar de 1976. Mas temprano, cientos de
productores cortaron rutas e hicieron tractorazos para protestar contra la
suba de las retenciones, entre otros puntos.
Endureciendo su postura, y en una jornada caotica en varios puntos del
pais, las cuatro entidades agropecuarias decidieron extender hasta el
miercoles el lock out (un paro patronal) en contra del nuevo esquema de
retenciones creado por el Gobierno.
Asi lo anunciaron esta tarde las cuatro principales entidades
agropecuarias del pais en una conferencia de prensa. En la fecha de
presunto cierre de la medida de fuerza, el 19 de este mes, habra una nueva
reunion para definir los pasos a seguir. Sin embargo, por la Semana Santa
y el feriado del lunes 24, la medida no caducara en los hechos hasta el
martes 25.
Los representantes de las entidades que dieron la novedad fueron el
vicepresidente de la Federacion Agraria Argentina (FAA), Guillermo
Giannassi; el presidente de Confederaciones Rurales Argentinas (CRA),
Mario Llambias; el presidente de CONINAGRO, Fernando Gioino: y el titular
de la Sociedad Rural, Luciano Miguens.
El paro patronal tuvo fuerza hoy en su segunda jornada. Arranco esta
manana con cortes de ruta y caos vehicular en la autopista Rosario-Buenos
Aires, a la altura de Villa Constitucion, en la capital cordobesa y en la
Panamericana, donde cientos de chacareros y productores se manifiestan con
sus camiones y tractores.
Pasadas la 10, y luego de algunas discusiones con los camioneros que
pasaban por el lugar, mas de 800 productores de la Federacion Agraria
Argentina cortaron el transito en la autopista a Rosario e impidieron el
paso de camiones jaula, que transportaban hacienda.
La movilizacion provoco un caos en la zona durante mas de tres horas, pero
se realizo de manera pacifica. Cerca de las 14, los productores liberaron
la ruta a la espera del resultado de las reuniones que mantienen
dirigentes del sector en Buenos Aires.
Las protestas tambien se desarrollan en la capital cordobesa, donde los
productores avanzan con tractores y maquinaria agricola hacia el centro.
En tanto, mas de tres mil productores rodearon la ciudad, segun
confirmaron el vicepresidente de Confederaciones Rurales Argentinas,
Nestor Roulet y el vice de la FAA, Pablo Orsolini, quienes participan de
la movilizacion.
Ademas, empleados de los frigorificos cortan varios carriles de la
Panamericana a la altura de Don Torcuato generando importantes demoras en
el transito.
En el Mercado de Liniers, esta manana apenas ingresaron unas 2.000
cabezas, que se vendieron dentro de los valores acordados con el Gobierno.
Los dirigentes se declararon ayer en pie de guerra luego de que el titular
de Economia, Martin Lousteau, presentara el martes un nuevo esquema de
retenciones "moviles" para los granos, que en los hechos implica el
traspaso de mas de US$2.000.000 desde los productores al fisco.

AuEx Acquires First Projects in Santa Cruz Province, Argentina
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - March 17, 2008) - AuEx Ventures
(TSX VENTURE:XAU) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a lease
agreement with a private individual covering four mineral concessions
("MDs"), located in the highly prospective Deseado Massif area in Santa
Cruz province, Argentina. In addition, the Company's wholly owned
subsidiary, AuEx Argentina, S.A. has applied for six cateos which when
combined with the MDs forms the Company's first five projects in
The La Rosita and La Alianza leased MDs are located just north and east of
the operating Martha Mine complex in the southwest portion of the Deseado
Massif. La Rosita is the more advanced project with large areas of exposed
alteration including veining and a database of hundreds of surface samples
collected by AuEx and previous explorers. Areas of previously unmapped and
un-sampled silicification have been identified and are currently being
sampled by AuEx geologists. In addition, more detailed mapping and
sampling of the veins is underway to outline potential drill targets
associated with spatially coherent gold anomalism including samples
exceeding one gram of gold. Neither of the properties have any prior
drilling. Exploration by AuEx at La Rosita yielded anomalous gold
mineralization on adjacent open ground as well and a cateo covering this
area has been applied for.
The El Meridiano and Cerro Covadonga leased MDs are located in the central
portion of the Deseado Massif. El Meridiano includes an area of intense
silicification extending over one kilometer in length with cross-cutting
structural splays containing anomalous gold mineralization. This
silicification is surrounded by square kilometers of steam heated terrain
near which recent satellite work identified a new area of veining and
jarosite alteration. Cerro Covadonga is a large area of silicification
which includes banded vein and boiling vein textures. Sampling to date at
Cerro Covadonga is limited and only anomalous silver mineralization has
been found. One cateo has been applied for adjacent to Cerro Covadonga.
The Company has also applied for three cateos in the northern portion of
the Deseado Massif and one cateo in the eastern portion of the massif. The
most interesting of these contains a silicified structural zone which is
exposed for over half a kilometer and is anomalous in gold throughout. The
regional generative exploration campaign by AuEx is continuing and, as
well, more detailed mapping and sampling is underway on the recently
acquired concessions with the goal of drilling in late 2008 or early 2009.
Exploration by AuEx in Santa Cruz Province is funded 70% by Agnico-Eagle
(TSX:AEM)(NYE:AEM) under a defined generative exploration agreement. After
properties are acquired, Agnico-Eagle has the option to enter into an
exploration earn-in joint venture agreement on any or all of the acquired
properties. With that election, Agnico-Eagle would be required to expend
one million dollars per project to earn a 51% interest and has the option
to earn 70% on any project by completing a feasibility study. If
Agnico-Eagle declines to participate in a project, the property comes to
AuEx with no remaining commitments, interest or consideration by Agnico
Argentina, Brazil to drop U.S. dollar in bilateral commercial
BUENOS AIRES, March 15 (Xinhua) -- Argentina and Brazil are to scrap
bilateral commercial transactions in U.S. dollars and start using their
own currencies from August, an official in charge of currency settlement
at the Argentine Central Bank said here Saturday.
The new payment system is aimed at reducing costs in commercial
transactions and would benefit small and medium-sized enterprises, the
official said.
Under the new system, there will be a unified exchange rate between
the real and peso, the so-called reference rate, which will be applied by
Brazilian and Argentine central banks at the end of each day.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva reached an agreement to
establish a new payment system with his Argentine counterpart Cristina
Fernandez de Kirchner during his visit to Argentina in February.
Technical preparations are underway for the new system, which the two
countries will adopt in several steps due to the large amount of bilateral
Brazil is Argentina's largest trading partner, while Argentina is
Brazil's second-biggest trading partner after the United States.
Bilateral trade stood at around 23.6 billion U.S. dollars last year.
