giving babies water to drink
I have a new grandbaby and I was surprised to hear that his pediatrician has said that babies should not be givien water to drink until they are about 5 months old. As a result he only is offered formula.
I can see a concern if water were filling the baby up so he wouldn't get any nourishment, but an ounce every now and then is bad?
Is this a new thing now? My kids drank water and they grew up healthy.
This is the information that I found about babies drinking water. Summed up, it states that babies get enough water through breastmilk or formula. In rare cases, babies can develop a condition called water intoxication. On another site, I read that it can cause jaundice. Here is the site, if you want to read the article :) Christy
Here is a link that might be useful: Baby Center
If your baby is sick and vomiting or has diahrrea or is sweating excessivly, by all means give them a little water.
And if you have a baby that has thrush, it's a good idea to give a few swallows of water after a feeding to rinse out the mouth.
Remember an infant is on a liquid diet...and likely gets all the water they need.
Linda C
The water DOES fill up that little belly, causing the baby to not want the nutrious formula or breastmilk.
Don't all you dieters know that you're supposed to drink water to fill up your stomach when your hungry... :)
That being said, when I recently had my three-month-old at a spring training baseball game in central FL and the weather was 84 and we were sitting in full sun (baby was protected from the sun though), I DID give her a little water in a clean bottle. It just seemed to be too hot and nasty in that situation to give her formula. It was a one-time-only situation, though.
My pediatrician said a SMALL amount of water would be fine - to try to train the child that if they wanted milk, it came at certain times , not every 20 minutes... use it dont abuse it. and YES they are getting plenty of fluids with breast or formula.. but when you are trying to get them on a schedule .. our ped.. recommended a little water between meal times to get the baby on a schedule - we gradually shifted the times from every hour to every 4 hours now she eats with us most of the time, except at night she gets her milk before bed time (she does not like to go to bed before 11pm - takes after her daddy (me) and I also like a snack before bed.. )

Another Attack, On Law Firm Suing China 131

We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
I am actually glad to see that lawsuits over software patents aren't being used for silly purposes to remove competition. Cyber sitter could have put together this lawsuit long ago, but they go in on the heels of the google hacking fiasco they got caught in.
What do software patents have to do with anything? This is a copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation lawsuit and it was filed BEFORE Google went public with their issues.
I've always wondered why people think the US is so indebted to China. Of the US debt, only 28% is held by foreigners, and only 23% of that is held by the Chinese (so 6% total). It's about $800 Billion, which is quit a bit, but only about 5% of the US's yearly GDP.
Beyond that, why does it even matter? China would be hurt far, far worse than the US if there was a political breakdown between the two. 40% of the Chinese GDP comes from exports, so they'd suffer tremendously. The US imports the equivalent of about 2% of its GDP from China, so it'd about be like a mild recession. Probably not even that if Japan and Taiwan increased their exports.
Obviously, China has one heck of an incentive to keep the US happy. Especially since there seems to be a growing anti-China sentiment in the US.
Yes, T-bills [wikipedia.org] are auctioned off in lots. That's how their price is set, actually: the US government actions off a batch of notes to paid off at a particular price after a particular time, (say, $1,000,000 after 30 years). Investors bid against each other, and the one willing to pay the highest price for the note wins.
Of course, the price paid for a treasury ends up being slightly below the face value of the note. That's mathematically equivalent to the government paying interest on the loan when it's repaid. (Of course, individual investors usually don't hold treasuries to term themselves, but instead sell them to others.)
That's where the interest rate on the US debt comes from: the higher the demand for US treasury securities, the higher the price, and the lower the government's effective interest rate.
Since US treasuries are considered the safest securities around, because the US has never defaulted, demand for treasuries is usually high, and especially high in times of economic sluggishness like the present. During the worst of the financial crisis, the prices paid for treasuries exceeded their face value, which meant investors were literally paying the US government to hold onto their money.
All this means that the US government can borrow very cheaply and in massive quantities. If China were to stop participating in treasury auctions, there are plenty of investors who would sake up the slack. The only effect would be that due to a reduction in competition, the bid price would be slightly lower, which would correspond to a slightly higher interest rate.
No big deal.
If I'd known computer science was going to be like this, I'd never have given up being a rock 'n' roll star. -- G. Hirst

Cart is empty
Over the years I've purchased lots of models from 3drt and can say they are of top quality including the animation, and the support is first class, I will definitely be buying more from them in the future.
Kevin Griffiths
Ridiculously great customer service. Seriously over the top experience.
Burch Thomas
Great content, the models I have bought have been perfect for my projects.
As for their support, they reply faster than human possible, with an excellent service (Problem was caused by myself, not 3DRT btw)
My latest purchase was the Orion Sci-Fi Techlab, and to be honest this asset really deserve some praise. Not only is there a ton of models, making you levels more diverse, but the asset come with a "no roof" version, this is perfect for top view games.
3DRT has been a real life safer for our game under production. The quality of the models and the many different formats they are provided in as well as the very nice license have made it very convenient to work with 3DRT. Any questions we have asked so far have been answered quickly.
Jonas Nielsen, Noble Games Production
3DRT's models are so well made it almost makes building a game with their assets too easy. I couldn't be happier with my purchase, and the next time I need some game assets to purchase, this will be my first stop.
Keep up the great work!

I quickly received a response thanking me for my inquiry and asking me when I wanted to come in and take it for a test drive. (I live out of state). After emailing back and asking again to tell me the price, he responded in his email: "Do you have a trade in?". I responded NO, I don't, and I live out of state so a test drive won't be happening and I am simply interested in knowing what you are asking for the Edge. After that, I had no response. I'm not sure if me living out of state was a problem for him or if he felt I wasn't a qualified buyer, but he just dropped all communication. I have purchased cars in other states before online and am a very knowlegable buyer. This vehicle was very low mileage for its year and I was very interested in seeing if we could work out a deal and have the car shipped to me.

They Killed More Than The Avro Arrow, They Killed An Industry
Flight 8 Meeting
By Mike Shaw
On 24 February 2015 Marc-André Valiquette gave COPA Flight 8 and the Rockcliffe Flying Club an impassioned plea to remember the Avro Arrow story because he fears we are destined to repeat the errors in our history if we don't know and study them.
Valiquette raises his voice to point out the short term thinking of Canadian Government didn't just kill an aircraft they in fact killed an industry in Canada. And study those errors he has! He has met and spoken with many of the folks involved in developing the Arrow from engineers to pilots. He has also gathered and presented significant documents that showed how Diefenbaker's government feared the rising cost of the Avro Arrow and reduced their purchase from hundreds aircraft to 32, until finally cutting the program completely. Not that Avro didn't muddy the waters by reporting the Arrow with its temporary American engine could only achieve Mach 1.96 when in fact it had exceeded the called for Mach 2. They feared the lighter more powerful Orenda engine in development in Canada would be cancelled if the government and RCAF knew the off the shelf temporary engine could meet the design spec.
He captured the audience's interest telling anecdotes like discovering Arrow parts and armaments (i.e. missiles) in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum's storage areas that caused a small panic to ensure the missiles were not still live. They weren't.
Valiquette has written 4 books documenting the Avro Arrow story. They are available on his website and in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum book store. He is busy writing more books about Canada's rich military aviation history. He notes that he is writer, publisher and printer of all the books without government financial help. COPA Flight 8 and Rockcliffe Flying club thank him for his presentation.

Miele Dishwasher Salt vs. regular softener salt
My Miele Dishwasher needs salt for the integrated water softener. A 1.5 kg box of salt from Miele is about eight bucks. A much bigger 20 kg bag of "premium" water softener salt is only five dollars at the local Canadian Tire. By weight, it is over twenty times more for the Miele salt. Is it really that special? Can I use this "premium" rock salt and save big over the Miele branded salt? I have searched around the web and have not seen anything that really addresses this question. Advice anyone? Thanks in advance!
You don't need to replace the Somat salt that often, I would not use the salt for a softener machine because of the impurities are the usually in it. There have been some threads in the past about using pure Kosher salt (without any anti-caking agent) which is getting hard to find in most places. I use maybe a box of somat every two years in my dishwasher.
Good luck!
The U.S. Navy concluded that Morton Kosher Salt worked fine in a Miele Thermodisinfector. If it works in a dental instrument disinfection unit, I would expect it to work just as well in a residential dishwasher.
Here is a link that might be useful: Less Expensive Salt for the Miele G7781 Instrument Washer
Well, I have taken the risk and added the the premium rock salt. I took the salt for a quick spin in the food pro to bring the particle size down closer to the size of the Miele crystals. So far the dishwasher has not exploded or otherwise indicated a problem. I still wonder about the long term, so if anyone else has any information, post away. Thanks for the link dalerb66. Very cool information there about kosher salt.
I'm not exactly sure why you would take the chance of damaging your dishwasher by using something other than what Miele says to use. You spent a lot of money for a Miele, then trying to save a few bucks on salt??? I don't get why people do this. I would be willing to bet if it damages your dishwasher you'll have voided your warranty.
I've had my Excella for a year and have yet to add any additional salt.
> There have been some threads in the past about using pure Kosher salt (without any anti-caking agent) which is getting hard to find in most places.
Kosher salt is stocked at most supermarkets where I live. If yours doesn't have it, look for a specialty kosher market in your area, which most places with even a small Jewish population will have.
I agree with others here, why skimp out and try and be cheap on salt that is about $10, give or take, that you have to put in maybe every 6 months - 2 years? Are you going to save that much by buying a 40lb bag that you will only use very little of the salt in it?
What if it does cause long term damage, what do you tell Miele then, what if they find that the salt was the cause and they reject your warranty coverage? ARe you willing to risk that over a few dollars? I personally won't do that, seems to be a waste of time and effort to save $5 over 2 years, with the potential to cost me $500 or more to fix my unit if that other salt does cause issues, or $1,500 to replace my dishwasher if it isn't covered under warranty and has to be replaced.
To each their own, and I know you can say salt is salt, and that may be, but again, for me to save $5 or so over 2 years, I won't risk it.
All the salt is doing is creating a brine solution to wash off the calcium deposits on the resin beads. The salt/brine is in one compartment and the resin beads are in another compartment. Based on where you set your hardness setting every few days the dishwasher circulates the brine through the resin bed and pumps it down the drain. This refreshes the resin bed and makes it ready to soften / remove calcium from the fill water as it enters your dishwasher.

Custom Cut Vinyl Letters and Numbers, Standard Colors
Safety Retaining Washer for Rod End Bearings
Performance Racing Series Male Rod End, PTFE Lined
SuperTrapp Replacement 4" End Cap for 6 bolt mount
SuperTrapp 4" Diffuser Discs, 4A / 4AS Series, 12-pack
"Pegasus has prompt, courteous service. Good company to work with!" W.W. from South Carolina
The patented radial diffuser design of SuperTrapp mufflers allow you to tune your muffler by adding or removing diffuser discs. Fewer discs result in a quieter system with more backpressure, while more disks increases noise and lowers back pressure. You can gain a measureable performance advantage by wave tuning your engine and carburetion to produce the best power band for any track. In certain racing classes where carb tuning is restricted, the SuperTrapp has become standard equipment. Many race teams have also equipped their tow vehicles with SuperTrapps and in almost every case this has improved gas mileage and performance while helping to reduce detonation.
This stainless steel muffler combines the tuneable 4" diameter diffuser disc section with a fully-rebuildable 17" glass pack section to further reduce high frequency sounds. Even the glass pack versions are straight-through designs with no louvers to restrict exhaust flow. With the combined good looks and added durability of a brushed stainless steel body, a SuperTrapp muffler could be the last muffler you ever buy.
Fits 2.25" OD exhaust pipes. Weighs 4 pounds. Comes complete with 12 diffuser discs, body support clamp, and T-bolt mounting clamp.

Kamelot Reveal Live DVD/CD Details
KAMELOT's first-ever DVD, entitled "One Cold Winter's Night", will be released via Steamhammer/SPV on October 30.
"One Cold Winter's Night" was recorded on February 11, 2006 at the historic Rockefeller Musichall in Oslo, Norway. KAMELOT enlisted renowned film and video director Patric Ullaeus (DIMMU BORGIR, LACUNA COIL, IN FLAMES) to chronicle the night's events. Bringing with him from Gothenberg, Sweden, Patric had a large crew of professionals and equipment, including 18 cameras, that would be used in and around the concert grounds.
The title for the band's first DVD to date (based on an earlier KAMELOT song title) was chosen long before the actual shoot. Ironically this winter turned out to be one of the longest and coldest in the country's history, with enormous amounts of snow and numerous chaos-causing blizzards. More...

Guarani from tongue to tome: although this native language has long been spoken throughout Paraguay, its literary boom is relatively recent, thanks to a growing number of dedicated writers.
And, more and more, Guarani is also becoming a language of literature.
"Since [longtime dictator Alfredo] Stroessner fell in 1989, there's been a boom in Guarani literature," says Mario Bogado, who operates a Guarani website and a bookstore in Asuncion.
Yet, the Guarani literature "boom" began even before Stroessner's departure--with a wager among college students, an exile's insight in a Buenos Aires bar, and an immigrant's passion for the culture of her adopted nation.
Paraguay provides particularly fertile ground for indigenous literature because of a form of bilingualism that may be a unique phenomenon worldwide. Unlike other Latin American nations such as Bolivia and Peru, where indigenous tongues are spoken overwhelmingly by indigenous peoples, in Paraguay Guarani is spoken by people of many descents and origins. And, in contrast to nations like Canada and Switzerland, where different languages are spoken in specific regions, Guarani is spoken widely throughout Paraguay, albeit rarely by wealthier urban classes. As Guarani gives Paraguayans a sense of unity and nationhood, it also provides this small nation landlocked in South America's interior with perhaps its greatest source of identity and fame--apart from storied soccer teams.
"When the topic is bilingualism, sooner or later the name of Paraguay comes up," says Bogado.
The last national census, done in 1992, reported that 39 percent of Paraguayans spoke only Guarani and 6 percent only Spanish, while 49 percent were bilingual. Linguists say Guarani took hold in Paraguay because of the way that two peoples--Spanish invaders and native Americans--met. Paraguay contained no precious metals to be looted and carried home to Europe. Instead, the Spanish came here to settle, took indigenous wives--frequently several of them--and produced many children, who grew up speaking their mothers' language, which was often Guarani. During the following centuries, Paraguay's indigenous people suffered terribly from new diseases, forced labor and slave raiders from neighboring Brazil. As a result, today only about 2 percent of Paraguay's people are indigenous, and not all of them are Guarani. And yet the Guarani tongue is spoken by blond-haired children of German descent in the countryside, by Korean immigrants in Asuncion's market neighborhood, and is even mixed into presidential speeches.
However, for most of its history, Guarani has been an almost purely oral language. The first written Guarani literature was created on the Jesuit reductions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Jesuit priests took away the Guaranis' traditional hunting and gathering with small farming life-style, making them become settled farmers. However, the Jesuits also protected the native peoples from slave hunters and taught some to be scribes who both translated Catholic holy books into Guarani and wrote original works themselves. The most famous Guarani writer during the Jesuit era was Nicolas Yapuguay, a Guarani scribe who in 1727 wrote Sermones y Ejemplos, describing Catholic liturgy. In a sense, this is still the most truly Guarani literature, because it was produced by Guaranis themselves--albeit immersed in a foreign culture, says bookstore owner Bogado.
Today, the native Guarani people are overwhelmingly impoverished and are often seen begging on Asuncion's streets. In contrast to what was produced in the Jesuit reductions, today's literature is not precisely Guarani literature, but more accurately called "literature in Guarani." In 1967 Guarani was made Paraguay's second "national" language and in 1992 elevated to being the second "official" language, making its status equal to that of Spanish.
"That year, the Paraguayan who believed that his language had low status learned differently," says Bogado, a professor of Guarani who opened his Guarani Raity bookshop (www.quanta.net.py/ guarani) in his Asuncion home in 1996.
Raity is Guarani for "nest with eggs," and the name reflects Bogado's expectations for the language's development. He says business is fine and growing. And yet, business is usually at the bottom of people's lists of reasons for working in Guarani literature. Rather, it is a desire to encourage their nation's heritage. Take Tadeo Larrateo Davalos, now an Asuncion property judge, who in 1977 during law school got into a fateful discussion about why so few people had read a particular Paraguayan classic novel.
"We concluded that it was because it was written in Spanish," he recalls.
The students observed that Guarani literature had developed almost exclusively in poetry and theater.
"A century of poetry is enough already. We're going to begin with the prose," Larrateo recalls them saying.
The students made a bet about who could write the best novel in Guarani. Larrateo won, with Kalaito Pombero, the story of a boy growing up in the countryside. However, before the work saw print in 1981, Larrateo had to overcome his publisher's doubts about the marketability of a novel in Guarani. In fact, the book sold well, although Larrateo, fifty-four, a soft-spoken man with a graying goatee and a thoughtful manner, credits the book's novelty more than its quality. Kalaito Pombero also won for Larrateo a literary award from a Paraguayan media company for being the first novel in centuries written in an American indigenous tongue. Eight years later, Larrateo published a book of short stories in Guarani, and he is now working on a Guarani grammar.
Larrateo ascribes part of his dedication to Guarani to the injustices he witnessed in his rural school. There, classes were taught in Spanish, despite the fact that Larrateo and his brother, whose father was Uruguayan, were the only children who spoke that language.
"I said `the Paraguayan educational system is very mistaken,'" Larrateo recalls. "Here, many talents are lost."
Years later, Larrateo helped write the new constitution, which made Guarani Paraguay's second official language. Now, he is also trying to have the laws published in both languages.
Another person who has written out of a passion for Guarani is Natalia Krivoshein. Perhaps an unlikely advocate for an indigenous tongue, she is the Czechoslovakia-born daughter of Russian-exile parents, who grew up in Paraguay speaking Russian at home. It was not until age forty that Krivoshein decided to learn Guarani "because in Paraguay everybody spoke it," and because in Paraguay "there are certain things that can only be said in Guarani." So, she signed up for classes at a language institute. Although she doesn't consider herself a perfect Guarani speaker, in 1977 she and others, including Judge Larrateo, launched a bilingual, periodic newsletter called Nemity with articles in and about Guarani. For the first issue, they published several thousand copies, but the magazine's circulation and frequency have since declined--a positive development, says Krivoshein, since it is a measure of the abundant literature that has since come out about and in Guarani--much of it a result of the educational reform.
Of course, the current generation of writers follows a long and vital tradition of literature in Guarani, although almost exclusively in poetry and theater, the popular entertainment before the era of television and movies. Some of the more prominent poets in Guarani included Narciso R. Colman, who under the pseudonym Rosincran wrote criticisms of modern society's obsession with money and work. Another was Teodoro Mongelos, a writer of poetry and of protest against war, poverty, and social injustice. A third, Manuel Ortiz Guerrero, wrote odes to nature and love in both Guarani and Spanish. But newsletter publisher Krivoshein asserts with fervor that the list of poets is really endless.
"There are other nations that have their `maximum' poets," she says. "But not Paraguay. Here, every Paraguayan writes poetry--and does it quite well."
Like Larrateo's work, much literature in Guarani deals with rural themes: growing up in the countryside, confrontations over land between campesinos and large landowners, and migration from the country to the city in search of opportunity. Other works record popular tales and traditions. Many of these star Ca'i, a mischievous monkey who teases his enemy, the tiger Yaguarete, freeloads off of local villagers, and escapes so many hazards that he seems to possess nine lives.
But authors acknowledge that Guarani literature's reading audience is still limited. The language continues to be overwhelmingly oral, spoken by people with generally low educational levels and little tradition of reading. Too, the novels are not inexpensive in a nation with an official minimum daily wage of about $5.50. In fact, some comment that foreigners visiting Paraguay buy more Guarani literature than do native Paraguayans.
Yet, Guarani authors say that even if few books sell, they add legitimacy to the Guarani tongue, which is still searching for its place in a globalizing world. For much of Paraguay's history Guarani was something one was a bit ashamed of--an accompaniment of poverty and underdevelopment--and those negative associations still dog it today. Even the effort to teach Guarani in urban schools has produced a backlash against a language some feel is forced upon them.
"Until ten years ago, it was degrading to speak it--and then, suddenly, they forced us to teach it," says Martha de Godoy, a retired teacher and Guarani speaker who believes Guarani should remain a purely oral language.
What is more, Guarani is suffering an identity crisis. Politicians and academicians debate over what the "real" Guarani is: the relatively pure language of the countryside, or Jobara, the freewheeling mix of Guarani and Spanish spoken in cities.
In the face of these challenges, writers in Guarani see written literature as fundamental for the language's vigor and survival.
"Literature makes a language grow, because it is a continual experiment with words," says Carlos Martinez Gamba, one of the first and still one of the most prolific of prose authors in Guarani. He grew up in a small town in the countryside, where his parents owned a shop and also farmed. A socialist in his youth, Gamba was exiled by the Stroessner dictatorship and has since lived in Argentina. He recalls the day, sitting in a Buenos Aires bar, when he thought of writing novels in Guarani.
"I found it very natural to write in that mother tongue, but in Paraguay it was never done," he says. "Everything was written in Spanish so that it could be read in Buenos Aires."
Since then, Gamba, sixty-two, a serious-mannered man with an occasional hoarse laugh emanating from a huge, frizzy orange beard, has published nearly twenty books in Guarani, including poetry, fiction, schoolbooks, and recompilations of traditional stories.
Today, he still lives in Argentina, in the town of Puerto Rico, on the eastern bank of the Parana River, just a short distance from his beloved Paraguay, to which he yearns to return if only he had a way to support himself there. On Puerto Rico's quiet main street, where Gamba has a small insurance business, he continues writing new works, including an epic poem--already at 12,500 verses and seven hundred pages--about the 1864 to 1870 War of the Triple Alliance, in which Paraguay struggled for its existence against Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay. But, like the great majority of literature in Guarani, most of Gamba's stories are set in the countryside and are based on people and experiences recalled from his youth. Many describe the odyssey of migration from the country to the city, a common phenomenon in Paraguay. Gamba says few of his tales have happy endings.
"Exchanging the misery of the countryside for that of the city is almost the same thing," he observes.
The Guarani tongue's role in Paraguayan history is a story in itself. During the War of the Triple Alliance and the fratricidal 1930s Chaco War with Bolivia, the Guarani tongue served the Paraguayan military as a "secret language," which foreign soldiers could not understand. Gamba believes today Guarani continues serving as a bulwark--but now against the cultural and economic forces of globalization.
"Paraguay is a nation that is very pressured from outside," he says. "The [Paraguayan] people discovered taking refuge in their language to be a very effective manner of protecting themselves."
For many writers in Guarani, their work is a tribute to Paraguay's native culture. Felix de Guarania spoke only Guarani until age six, when his schoolteacher slapped students with a ruler for using their mother tongue. (Today, as part of the educational reform, classes are taught in Guarani in areas where it is the common tongue. Many educational specialists believe that thoroughly establishing a first language helps students to learn a second one more easily.) De Guarania, seventy-seven, an enthusiastic man with a lush silver beard who changed his name from Jimenez during the 1940s, has written some thirty books, including fiction, poetry, biography, and popular stories from the countryside, as well as translations of classics such as Moliere and the Bible "to demonstrate that Guarani is a language that functions, that works." He finds Guarani a particularly rich tongue for poetry, thanks to its many figures of speech, plentiful vowels, and strong sentiments. The language's vocabulary is rich in earthy images and bawdy expressions, which sound natural in Guarani, but fall off the tongue heavily in Spanish. De Guarania says this is the legacy of the Guarani people--hunter-gatherers and small farmers before the Spanish arrived.
"Their culture was very deep, very spiritual. Material things were not very important to them."
Like Gamba's, de Guarania's works chronicle the impoverished lives and relentless struggles of Paraguay's campesinos. However, in contrast to those of Gamba, many of de Guarania's plays end happily. In Amor campesino, for example, a young girl leaves her small town to pursue an education in the city. There, she studies, marries, and has a daughter--but loses contact with her friends and family back home. At the play's conclusion, the young woman brings her husband and daughter back to her town and reconciles her new life with her old one. And in El camino de la tierra, a group of campesinos assert their right to land and decent working conditions and find strength in the support of a student returned from college in the city. However, in El desaparecido, a man who responds to what he believes to be a routine call from the police is tortured and killed. The story of the disappeared is near to de Guarania's heart, for, like Gamba, he was exiled by the dictatorship and spent twenty-six years living in Argentina and Europe. He returned in 1989, the year the Stroessner dictatorship fell, to find his nation's native tongue receiving new respect and legitimacy. He finds that an inspiring change.
"[Guarani] has been marginalized, repressed, and persecuted," de Guarania says. "Only now do we begin to defend it, love it, adore it: to make it grow and become great."
With poetry and literature readings frequent evening events in Asuncion, and the educational reform providing a vigorous market for works in Guarani, authors see themselves on a mission.
"In Guarani, it happens that the people don't know how to read because there isn't anything to read," says Gamba. "We have to create a literature so that the readers come."

Apollo Group to close 100 University of Phoenix campuses, cut 800 jobs
- Angela Gonzales
- Senior Reporter- Phoenix Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Apollo Group Inc. is closing more than 100 University of Phoenix campuses and learning centers and eliminating 800 positions nationwide, saving $300 million in the process.
The majority of its 328,400 students take classes online, which means those campuses aren't in demand, said Alex Clark, spokesman for the Phoenix-based Apollo (Nasdaq: APOL).
Plans call for closing 115 locations, impacting 13,000 students. Of those, 90 are learning centers and 25 are campuses. Following the closure, 112 locations in 36 states will remain.
Of Arizona's nine UOP facilities in Phoenix, Mesa and Tucson, the only one that will close is the Nogales learning center, Clark said. But Arizona will account for upwards of 300 of the 800 positions that will be eliminated nationwide.
The $300 million in savings will be used to invest more heavily in the company's online learning platform as well as renovating and modernizing Apollo's existing 112 locations.
"This decision is in direct response to student demand to what students have told us and demonstrated what they want," Clark said.
The campuses that remain open are those that require hands-on learning programs, such as nursing and counseling, Clark said.
The closure announcement came as Apollo reported a drop in net income and revenue for the fourth quarter on Tuesday.
For the three months ended Aug. 31, Apollo reported income of $74.2 million on revenue of $996.5 million, down from $183.9 million in income on $1.1 billion in revenue for the same period in 2011, according to the company's filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Its year-end results also were down. Income was $417 million with revenue of $4.25 billion for the year ended Aug. 31, down from $535.8 million on $4.7 billion during the same period in 2011.
The company's stock closed at $27.49 today, closer to its 52-week low of $25.77 than its high of $58.29.
While total enrollment was down 13.8 percent, it was in line with expectations as weaker starts were balanced by stronger retention, said Trace Urdan, senior analyst for Wells Fargo Securities LLC, in his equity research report.
"While the weakness in revenue per student seems a function of a higher level of discounting in the quarter, the sudden weakness in starts is somewhat more mysterious and suggests either a change in enrollment practices or a change in the ambient market, though we have not heard anything from other operators to suggest that there has been such a sudden shift in consumer sentiment," Urdan said in his report.
Apollo Group put $20.4 million more into its instructional and student advisory during the fourth quarter, which is a 4.7 percent increase over the same period a year ago, bringing that total investment to $455.6 million in the fourth quarter. This is part of the company's plan to support students and improve outcomes.
For-profit universities have been under fire over the past several years as Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, led a two-year investigation of the for-profit higher education industry, including Apollo Group.
The report outlines widespread problems in the sector, including overpriced tuition, predatory recruiting practices, high dropout rates and aggressive marketing campaigns. It calls for enhanced transparency, stronger oversight and meaningful protections. The report suggested that the education department create an online student complaint clearinghouse and require all higher education institutions to provide a link on their websites.
Before the report was issued earlier this year, Apollo has been working on strategies to help students succeed.

induction-ready pressure canner?
Is an induction-ready pressure canner available in the US? I've checked this forum and online and haven't found anything that sounds workable. There's a Fagor pressure canning kit, but I have a Fagor pressure cooker and this sounds exactly like my cooker, i.e. no way to know what the pressure is. I don't think this would safely can low-acid foods.
Cheryl, over a year ago I redid my kitchen and went to induction. I got a new WB canner that works fine but could not come up with a pressure canner either. So what I have used is the single element unit that I bought for my temporary kitchen to cook on. I kept it and it has worked well for using with my pressure canner. Just be sure to get a good one if you decide to go with one. Mine is like the one linked below.
Here is a link that might be useful: Cadco Hot Plate
Try Fagor Duo Stainless Steel 10 q. Pressure Cooker/canner. I think this one works on induction.
Otherwise get one of those heat transfer plates, which will allow you to use an alum. canner on an induction cook top.
Thank you for the link and response. What size canner will fit on this hot plate? I have an electric hot plate I got when our previous kitchen was being remodelled, but it was pitifully underpowered. It took forever to heat water for pasta. Does your hot plate do a good job of heating a big canners without a long, long wait?
dcarch - the Fagor cooker/canner is what I already have. It has no pressure dial, so you can't tell what the pressure is. I don't think I would be comfortable not know if it was safe or not. Botulism is pretty serious.
The induction plates are very inefficient. I've tried it with my aluminium stockpot and it takes way too long to heat a big quantity of liquid. It's much slower than gas or direct induction.
It is not the pressure that is important for canning, it is the temperature achievable at that pressure for canning safety. I am not sure.
You can get an inexpensive IR thermometer to measure the temperature of the vessel and see if yours can do the job.
I am at work now, I can't check the temperature for you.
Here is a link that might be useful: IR termometer
Nancy - thanks again. I don't have a pressure canner, but was thinking of getting one. Until I realized that there are none which work well with induction.
dcarch - you're right that I could use a thermometer to keep a check on the temperature, but there are two problems. One is that the temperature of the pot is not the same as the temperature of the contents. There is generally heat loss because conduction isn't very efficient. The other problem is that all canning recipes are given in terms of the pressure required, not temperature. Yes, I could do the conversion, but this adds to the number of steps I have to take, not to mention having to check the temperature regularly. A pressure canner with gauge or weights is a simple solution, as long as I find a way to heat it.
I've also used the burner of a turkey fryer that I got at a yard sale to can outside when it's hot. I just did 6 pints of corn. You do have to keep it out of the breeze, though, if there is any.
My old boss got an induction stove top and swore that her pressure canner worked on it, but I don't know how.
Thanks to all the replies. DH says we could put something on the gas grill which could be turned into a gas burner. I've never tried this, but it seems worth a shot. Alternatively I might look into a burner which could be plugged in as Nancy suggests.
dcarch - I know Fagor claims it is safe. I don't know what this is based on. I have a Fagor pressure cooker and wouldn't use it for low acid foods, but perhaps I'm just a coward. Thanks for your suggestions but I don't know how to test the results for safety, and I'm not willing to eat something that could make me very sick.
I seem to remember 250F is safe. It has been a while since I canned. It would be easy to find out.
If you meassure the PC and it gets to 250F with the pressure valve on, it will always be 250F inside, makes no difference how much stuff is inside the PC.
I should say that it will always be 250F inside regardless of how much stuff is inside the PC, and the same next time and the next time you can. The only it will be different is when the atmospheric pressure chages.
It also doesn't matter how high you set the fire.
Always 250F
OK, I did more homework and have found out that most modern pressure cookers work at 15 psi, or 250F as dcarch said. So my Fagor should reach a safe temperature. If I'm conservative about the times, I should be OK.
The outdoor options would work on aluminium pressure canners, so our grill should do the job. Or a camping stove or turkey fryer as Jane and Annie use. So I have several options to try out.
Thank you all very much,
