Monica S Mcfeeters's curator insight, March 21, 9:57 PM
Wow! This is pretty much what it is like for Mississippi grossly underfunded schools for over a decade and where Charter schools are also promoted as an solution and option. Also, how many of you think the Governor of Mississippi and Florida should explain personally to all 3rd graders held back until they can read on grade level how that doesn't make them a flunky and failure? I personally think not being mature enough to have empathy for an 8 year old is a far greater failure and these leaders that are too cheap with state funds to hire enough reading specialist teachers to work with weak readers at all grade levels k-12 are sad examples of humanity. These governors should have been held in the 3rd grade till they displayed empathy for others. Just my thoughts..

Thursday 2 Apr 2015
By Melanie Gerlis. Web onlyPublished online: 05 December 2012
Raphael's late chalk drawing, Head of a Young Apostle, around 1519-20, sold at Sotheby's in London tonight (5 December) for £29.7m, doubling its £10m-£15m estimate (which does not include the buyer's premium, although the final price does). This is the highest price paid for a work by the artist at auction, narrowly beating the £29.2m made by his Head of a Muse (another chalk drawing), around 1511, at Christie's at the equivalent London sales in 2009. The work was sold by the Duke of Devonshire in order to fund the costs of running his stately home at Chatsworth in Derbyshire and benefit its collection. The drawing had been at Chatsworth for more than 300 years. Meanwhile, there was disappointment for the duke as one of the other three works he was selling this evening—a 1465 illuminated manuscript commissioned by Philip the Good, La Mystère de la Vengeance—went unsold (estimate £4m-£6m). But a second manuscript, the Deeds of Sir Gillion de Trazegnies in the Middle East, 1464, sold for £3.8m (est £3m-£5m), bought by the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles.

The sys admin's daily grind: CGI:IRC
Have you ever felt frustrated because you were looking forward to a chat session but didn't have access to a client? Firewalls, or simply not having access to your own machine, can be frustrating. Wth CGI:IRC, all you need for IRC is a web browser.
In some situations, I would rather chat online than phone people. My preferred IRC client is Irssi. It runs in a screen session on a server that I can access from wherever I happen to be using SSH.
Sometimes SSH just isn't an option, like when your customers' firewalls are too tightly locked down or if you visit an Internet café on vacation. A tool with the typographically challenging name of CGI:IRC can be the answer. The software gives you a web interface that passes input on to the IRC server.

i saw that too, i just don't see a cup of honey to three gallons of mead blowing up swingtops. i use these bottles all the time, especially for sparkly cyser, and they can handle a heckuva lot of pressure.
i agree weight is the only way to go, not volume. i said 3/4 of a cup because i force carb all my beer and i don't remember what that should weigh! i use 6-7 ounces to prime cyser and cider, but that is a higher rate than normal and you must use champagne bottles or swingtops to hold that much pressure (or a keg)
I dont like to boil my honey but I also make quite a few hopped meads. I boil my water with the hops bills and then add my honey after it has cooled. Basically making a Hops Tea without tea leaves.
Primary -
Conditioning - 5 gallons Oak Aged Sweet Tart Cherry melomel, 4 1 gallon variations of my Hops Mead.
Bottled - Choujiu (Chinese Rice Wine), Hefe, Godzilla IPA
Kegged - Godzilla IPA
On Deck - Choujiu (Chinese Rice Wine), Cream Soda for the wife n kids, German Style Pilsner with Michigan Hops,
Gone - to many to list.
bitter hoppy flavorful water. Hops extraction has nothing to do with gravity and everything to do with tempeture and time at said tempeture. I got this idea from a proffessional brewmaster friend of mine when I was talking to him about wanting to extract more bitter into my mead without heating my honey. It is sound and does work very well You extract Alpha Acids and convert them the longer you soak hops at a near boiling temp. 60 minutes max bitter extraction. 30 minutes you get bitter and some aroma. 20 minute less bitters more aroma etc etc.
I am waiting on a batch that I started a month ago, but probably won't touch it for four more months. I did change the recipe some, cause I really wanted a higher ABV and was afraid to boil the honey that long. I used 12# of honey and Nottingham yeast as I didn't have any bread yeast and the LHBS didn't have coopers. I also used cascade hops, and yes the whole 1/2# of hops and only boiled for 25 minutes. It had a great aroma at first almost like a sweet tea. The batch cleared really well within the first month. I am able to read through the carboy. I may have issues as the fermentation temps were high for a day or so, it was 92 degrees and I didn't turn the AC on. I also need to learn when it is fully degassed, as it is my first mead and the bubbles won't go away when I stir it. I had stirred it for over a hour and a half, probably more but those are the times that I had written in my beer recipe book. Here is the recipe, hopefully it may help someone.
The bubbles are the yeast at work. I have a batch right now that the yeast is going nuts in still after a solid week. It just means there is plenty of nutrition, good temps, and a high enough PH for them to basically be at the amusement park with a 1/2 pound of hops at 25 minutes you will get a lot of flavor out of it and aroma for sure. If you were aiming to pull alot of bittering out of it you will definaly get a good deal because you used a half pound. You can definatly get the same results from WAY less hops with a longer boil. Id suggest using the hop tea method to do this so your not structurally changing the honey at all. Let us know how it is when you get it done. When i first heard you were using a half pound of hops i was like OMG thats going to be undrinkable but then i read you only used it at a 25 minute boil. For more information on hops i would suggest looking into a book on brewing beer they get into a lot of detail on what your pulling out of the hops at certain tempetures for certain durations of time. There is definatly a lot of science behind hops extraction. I would also recommend putting a towel around your fermentor yeast is sorta vampiric in that it doesnt like light very much.
I was thinking I was crazy at the 1/2#. But I remembered something about the way people originally hopped IPAs. Something about coming over on a boat and how flavor lasts for months and then it fades in flavor. I planned on at least 5 months, I figured the flavor would change dramatically.
That was the first picture, it is in a water bath held at about 65. With a towel around it, that I dampen daily. I'll let you know how it turns out, right now I think the hops are not as strong as it sounds and it is drinkable. Its not as mellow as I am looking for, hopefully time will heal all.
hops has a tendancy to mellow out with time. the higher abv in mead makes it hold up longer though than it does in a beer. Think of extracts for an example they last for long durations based on the content of alcohol being used to preserve them. What type of hops did you use? Im sure you posted it above but I am being lazy today.

Race and the race
The GOP's 2016 slate may be its most diverse ever.
News, Analysis and Opinion from POLITICO
The GOP's 2016 slate may be its most diverse ever.
It's been 12 years since he last ran for anything.
The senator takes to Twitter for another edition of "Festivus."
The Florida Republican chides Rand Paul for being "the chief cheerleader for Obama's foreign policy."
How a conservative Mormon became the biggest Republican Cuba advocate.
Bush gets serious, Rubio rails on a topic close to home and Paul takes yet another contrarian view.
On Fox News' 'The Kelly Report', Florida Sen. Marco Rubio isn't mincing words when it comes to his Republican colleague Sen. Rand Paul's support...
The first skirmish of the 2016 GOP primary spills over onto social media.
"The Cuban-American community tends to be pretty quiet until you step on their toes."
Hill Republicans started making a to-do list immediately.
It was Marco Rubio's chance, and he pounced on it.
Marco Rubio, during his press conference on the shifts in U.S. policy on Cuba, calls out Pope Francis for his involvement
Rubio said he would "ask His Holiness to take up the cause of freedom and democracy."
In a press conference, Sen. Marco Rubio discusses the proposed policy changes on U.S.-Cuba relations.
Republicans reacted with anger to the news — a sign of an intense political battle to come.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), in an interview on Fox News, says that Cuba talks are an 'absurd' notion and that the negotiations for the release...
Marco Rubio says the talks are "part of a long record of coddling dictators and tyrants."
It's the most direct signal to date that he is weighing a presidential bid
2016 Republicans disagree on surveillance, gay marriage, Common Core.
Republicans acknowledge they have plenty of work to do to woo Silicon Valley.
Here's our assessment of who is most likely to run – and who might take a pass in 2016.

So, I am thinking about buying an AR-15 kit tomorrow, but upon further research I've found some potential problems. For the upper assembly, do I need a vice block, and the special wrench? I honestly has no idea this even existed, yet alone, that it was requirement. A pricey one at that. If I was to buy the kit, would I have to purchase these tools in order to assemble the gun? It was my understanding that The whole gun could be assembled with regular/slightly irregular tools (those I have) not gun specific tools and vice blocks. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

IF you need to assemble the upper (Vs buying one that is assembled upon arrival) you should have the action wrench, torque wrench, and receiver block for the vise.
The barrel wrench is the most specific tool I have used, I used my vice in my garage with a couple of rubber mats to protect the finish, But you will most likely need a barrel wrench.
I found one on another web site I visit for $10.
There might be someone in your area that may have one, But I dont know how you would go about posting a wanted note.
Best of luck
There may be some folks that know how to assemble an upper without a vice block. I invested in Brownell's basic kit, lower vise block, upper vice block and barrel nut wrench, a lower assembly tool kit (flat sided punch for the mag release roll pin, tool to assist with pivot pin detent), etc. I believe it was $100.
I am happy I bought the kit. I have not assembled an upper, yet, but I have installed a free float tube that required removing the original barrel nut. Without an upper vice block, removing and installing barrel nuts would put you upper at risk of some serious scratches or even breakage.
what kit are you thinking about?? there are a few out there that you want to avoid.
you do need a barrel wrench of some sort to align barrel nut with the gas port. a reciever block isnt strictly needed but it helps for use with some wrenches. before i got a reciever block i made my wife hold the reciever wrapped in a towel. it doesnt take much torque to tighten a barrel.
a block helps more as a third hand and for removing tight barrel nuts.
wrenches and blocks are great tools since building your own your also gonna be repairing your own.
"Gun control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her panty hose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound." L. Neil Smith
The problem with being stupid is you cannot simply decide to stop doing dumb things...
"I crapped my pants to avoid the draft!!" -Ted Nugent
The kit is unassembled, and I think I can get the wrenches for the barrel nut and stock, but there is no way I can drop the money on a vice block. Any other ideas for assembling the barrel and stock without using a vice block? I do have a vice.
Disregard...saw your above post too late.
"As an American, I was not so shocked that Obama was given the Nobel Peace Prize without any accomplishments to his name, but that America gave him the White House based on the same credentials"...Newt Gingrich
The problems we face today are there because the people who work for a living are outnumbered by those who vote for a living.
i wouldnt use a vice the reciever is very easy to crush. have a friend hold the reciever.

A man is claiming that the CSA refuses to return the £30,000 he has made in child support payments, even though he has proof that the child he has been supporting isn't his
Steven Carter says he has had two letters from the Child Support Agency making promises that if he could get proof that he wasn't the father of the child in question, he would be refunded his money. After a battle that has lasted 11 years and a DNA test, the CSA are now saying that he has left it too late to make the claim.
Mr Carter said that he always felt deep down that he couldn't be the father of the girl, who is now 22 years old, who he has never met. He said he had two one-night-stands with the girls mother and used protection both times. According to him, the mother was with another boyfriend at the time.
He told the Daily Mail "She obviously looked at me like a cash cow. I work in a nightclub and the CSA contacted my employers and took my money. They accepted her word with no proof at all."
As a result of this unfortunate situation, he has been paying £70 a week from his wages to support the girl since 1995. Mr Carter added that he has many hundreds of calls to the CSA and was told that he would be able to get his money back if it was proven that he wasn't her biological father.
However, the CSA has now turned round and said that it refuses to give the refund on the basis that the DNA test was taken after the child became considered to be an adult, with the assumption that as Mr Carter continued to make the payments, he accepted paternity of the child.
According to the CSA wesbite, in the event of a dispute, the person who is named as a parent has to make the payments until they are able to provide evidence that they are not the parent. When they are able to do this, it says that payments may be refunded — but it then goes on to say that "refunds depend on the circumstances of each case".
There are a number of situations when parentage will be assumed, such as if the couple were married or in the case of adoption.

Concern regarding the conservation status of small, isolated populations of the arctic-alpine plant species Lloydia serotina prompted research to establish the status and performance of this species in Wales, in comparison with large populations in its more typical alpine habitat. Relationships between reproductive strategies and genetic variation were investigated in a number of populations, representing a wide habitat, geographic and population size range. In all populations, vegetative reproduction predominates over sexual reproduction, but seed produced is viable and germinates readily under controlled conditions. Smaller, peripheral populations produced fewer flowers and seeds than the larger ones, but all populations studied supported significant percentages (>30%) of male plants, due to either the occurrence of androdioecy in this species or to a resource limited breeding system. Analysis of allozyme variation in sixteen populations from North America, the European Alps and Wales showed lower levels of genetic variation in smaller populations which averaged 1.1–1.2 alleles per locus and 10–20% of loci polymorphic, whereas larger populations averaged 1.4 alleles per locus and 30–40% polymorphic loci. This applied especially to the most northerly and southerly populations in North America, suggesting the occurrence of genetic drift in these small, peripheral populations. F-statistics suggest relatively high levels of differentiation among smaller populations, even among those closely related geographically, but genetic variation has been retained in all but one population, possibly due to infrequent sexual reproduction by long lived clones. RAPD analysis of four small populations in Wales provided further evidence of clonal growth and possible inbreeding dominating a mixed mating reproductive system with consequent genetic structuring in these populations.

Osteen Hoaxster Explains: Goal Wasn't To Defame Pastor
Originally published on Tue April 9, 2013 12:27 pm
The person behind the elaborate online hoax in which a fake website and Twitter feed falsely proclaimed Pastor Joel Osteen's intent to renounce Christianity and shut down his influential Houston ministry says that his goal wasn't to attack Osteen personally.
"I would like to state unequivocally my intent was not to defame Mr. Osteen," the person behind the hoax wrote in an email, adding that "he seems like an infectiously nice and genial character."
As we reported Monday, the hoax relied on news site mock-ups, a YouTube video, a fake Twitter feed, and a fake website to trumpet the spurious claim that Osteen had decided, after much reflection, to step away from his church and donate millions of dollars to charity and environmental causes.
"My hopes that Joel will 'see the light,' so to speak, are not high, but we all need faith," says the man who created the hoax and wishes to remain anonymous.
As for his motivation, the man, who says he hasn't made any money from the Osteen project, says that his "intent was to stage, for a moment, a plausible scenario of his hypothetical resignation" and to "test viral media markets," in addition to sending a message to Osteen.
Answering questions via an email account tied to the fake Osteen website, the creator of the hoax says he has seen an "extraordinary" amount of coverage in online and TV media, despite the story taking longer than expected to go viral. And he says the hoax also generated strong public responses — many of them positive.
"I've received thousands of heartfelt, often revealing and deeply sincere messages from wonderful Christians and non-Christians alike, along with a few grumps and party poopers thrown in for good measure," he says.
As for Osteen, the man behind the hoax says he wants the pastor to "do away with the soft 'positivity' and cliche-peppered Sunday messages and use his high visibility to address more serious social issues."
As stated in the fake resignation letter, those issues include protecting the environment, banning fluoride from water, fighting the Obama administration's "attempt to dismantle the 2nd Amendment," and "exposing the crimes of the Monsanto Corporation."
The fake Osteen website was essentially a mirror of the real thing, with two main differences: a missing "e" in the URL's spelling of Osteen, and a letter purporting to be from the Houston-area pastor, informing his congregation that Lakewood Church was losing its leader.
The fake site also included a feedback form and an email address. And the person behind the hoax says many people responded.
"About 60 percent of literally thousands of comments and emails have been positive, affirming messages from Christians praying for me," he writes.
The remaining 40 percent was evenly split between "very angry, upset Christians" and "atheists and freethinkers and 'back slid' Christians," he says.
Many in that final group took to "telling me stories of their struggles of persecution for 'not believing,'" he says. "I feel I actually gave some comfort to these people, to see a man of such stature admit such sobering, if not politically incorrect, thoughts."
Osteen, whose authentic Twitter feed may have inadvertently put the spotlight on the hoax by denying rumors of his crisis of faith Monday, was somewhat amused by the incident, ABC News reports.
"You know, I'm really not angry. I don't feel like a victim," Osteen tells ABC. "I feel too blessed, that life is too short to let things like this get you down."
Still, it remains possible that the hoax could generate legal proceedings against the person behind it.
"I could end up being in a lot of trouble," he wrote, "but I am prepared and I have excellent legal counsel ready for battle."
As for the time and expense that went into the hoax, the man says he "spent $12 and a few hours to produce this whole thing."
And he added that he does have another goal, in addition to those mentioned above: "to somehow appear on The Daily Show so I can make one of my good friends jealous."

I have dual citizenship (Arg and US)and I spend half of the year in Arg and the other half in the US. I do my grocery shopping in both countries. I can assure you that dairy products are MORE expensive in Arg than in the US (milk, yogurt, cheeses, etc.). Meat is almost the same, wine in cheaper in Arg (very good quality wine in Arg). You can laugh: Coca Cola and soft drinks are MORE expensive in Arg. also. By far, Arg clothes, shoes, etc. are MORE expensive. Gasoline, I believe, is almost the same price per liter.
I have a retirement payment of 1.600 arg pesos and barely can pay the common expenses of my condo with that. I have other income and that is why I am alive and not starving. With 6 pesos you buy an alfajor (2 cookies with caramel or marmalade inside). I feel sorry about the poor people in Arg, believe me there are tons of them!
What a special case you are. So you think that Spanish heritage is what holds back the country???
Interesting point.
The Spanish Empire lasted more than two centuries and comprised territories and colonies in Europe, the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania. Spain was the undisputed naval world power during the age of exploration and was one of the first global empires.
Romans (latinos) have had their share in world domination (only 500 years) and even France (also latinos) occupied the sit of leading world power during Louis XIV and Napoleon.
And if it wasn't for a storm in the middle of the "Canal de la Mancha" in 1588, the "Spanish Armada" would have invaded UK, and these postings would have been written in Spanish.
Civilizations form different ethnics have shown self-improvement and overcoming.
So, your statement that race elements have something to do with the country's performance is no only insulting but also ridiculous.
enriquea, there was nothing great about the Spanish Emnpire except for size. That empire was funded by the theft of gold from natives of the Americas and their enslavement. Can you name me just 1 positive thing that came about because of the Spanish empire? Just 1 contribution to world society? Just 1 invention?
Contrast that to the British Empire was funded their empire though technology and inventions.
from the book "Great Conquerors of South and Central America", by A. Hyatt Verrill, copyright 1929
page 19
But never, probably, in the history of the world, was there a conquest that was won at a greater cost of injustices, and of cruelties. And certainly there has never been another that has been marked by a more ruthless and wanton destruction of entire civilizations.
Perhaps the most regrettable result of the conquest was the loss to the world of irreparable records, monuments, buildings, works of art, handiwork and innumerable other objects pertaining to the American civilizations destroyed by the Spanish conquerors. Very largely this wholesale destruction was due to the fanatical zeal of the servants of the Church who saw, in nearly everything, the symbols of Satan, and who thought it was their duty to eliminate everything pertaining to paganism. But vast quantities of the most priceless works of art and handicraft were lost to the world by being melted down for the sake of their bullion by the conquerors who saw in them only their intrinsic value of precious metals.
It is stated by the treasurer and the notary of Pizarro that it required 60 Incan goldsmiths working steadily day and night for 1 month to reduce the gold and silver objects accumulated at Cajamarca to bullion, and these were but a small portion of the whole obtained by the conquerors in Peru. At another place, an immense stone statue was found and broken up by order of the priests. So huge was this piece of sculpture that 30 men were employed for 3 days to destroy it. In Mexico, marvelous mosaics were ripped to pieces for the turquoise and semiprecious stones of which they were composed; woodwork was burned to recover the gold nails that were used, and wonderful mantles and costumes of feathers, and priceless textiles, were reduced to ashes in order to secure the golden threads of the fabrics.
Human sufferings may be forgotten in time, human lives are replaced by others; but the products of human minds and hands, the records of hundreds of generations, the histories of races, the monuments, the carvings, the architecture and the thousand and one things that tell the story of countless centuries of a race's development, can never be duplicated. Once destroyed, they are lost to the world forever.
Dude you may have read books but your ignorance is epic... You are just as bad as the kirchners blaming everything on everyone but themselves
It isn't just Fernandez-Kirchner. It's 90% of Spanish descended Latin Americans who always blame the USA/Anglos of "holding them back from greatness". Claiming they would have blasted off for Mars by Nov 1, 1492, at the latest of not for USA/Anglo sabotage of their space program. They get away with it because that's what the Spanish descended people of Latin America WANT to hear. That's what they want to be told, that their hated historic rivals, the "Anglos", have held them back from greatness. Spanish descended Latin Americans are too proud to be told THEY are the problem.
BentoBoy, you really are a curious case...
What happened to you? Did your girlfriend run away with a hispanic? Where has all that hate came from?
As I said, anglos have been the world's dominant ethnic group for the last 200 years. But given the current situation of anglo countries, to affirm that would be an overstatement.
Land Rover is owned by Tata Group, Abu Dhabi has control of Manchester City FC, China is the second largest economy (Japan is the third), anglo countries' population is getting older while Asia is flourishing, and hispanics constitute the second ethnic group in the US.
Chew on that. Think things over.
Thanks God I live in Argentina and I don't have to deal with people like you.
OMG!, because the british empire didn't destroy and slave everything in their path when they had their chance! (india, africa, north america, etc)
your ignorance is epic ... LOL
The British put the Golden Touch on their overseas colonies. The Spaniards conversely put the curse on all of their worldwide possessions. The Spanish colonies were once great native Empires (Incans, Aztecs, Mayans...) before the Spaniards came and placed the curse on them, stealing all their gold and enslaving the native populace, wiping out the natives in what is now Arhentina, Porto Rico, Columbia, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela....
The British placed the Golden Tocuh on all the overseas possesions.
The Spaniards placed the Curse of the Spaniards on all their overseas possessions. Look at what they did to the once great native Incans, Aztecs and Mayans. Those once great people are now living in extreme poverty. The Spaniards stole all their gold and left the naitves in abject poverty unabble to care for themselves.
Maybe you have been reading history wrong. Culture does matter, I agree with that a so do countless studies and authors ( check "underdevelopment is a state of mind" for instance) that attest to the fact that catholic countries tend to do worse than protestant based ones ( though this may be disproved by the fact that many latin countries are now turning protestant yet not much is changing amongst them). However, culture is not the single factor that makes for a prosperousbsociety. Few countries are more catholic than Chile and they are getting ahead in spite of that fact. On the other hand, India was a british colony and yet it remains horribly poor (yes, in spite of recent growth, India remains poor).
The best example is in Honduras, where I live. Roatan on the bay Islands was a british colony handed over to Honduras on the late 19th century, yet it has become as poor as the rest of the country. So, if not race, what is the answer to the problem? Evidence tends to point more toward legal systems.
CAPP1971, half of Chile's population is of Frech, German and English origin, thus accounting for the relative prosperity of Chile as compared to the rest of Spanish speaking Latin America. When the big eathquake hit Chile a few years ago, every mayor I saw quoted in the newspaper had a German family name.
Ok. I guess that you are the type that only hates to things, people who post racist or xenophobic comments and those damned hispanics! No way to argue sensibly with the likes of you.
Just goes to show how the Spanish people have ruined every society they are in. Arhentina has enough non-Iberian European stock to be a force on the world stage. But it's the Spanish element that holds the country down. I know how that works. I get corrected at work by Blacks and Hispanicks, asking me to slow down, to not go so fast, asking me what my problem is because I work hard. That same Spanish mentality has held back the non-Iberian Europeans of Arhentina. They pressure people who work too hard and who don't take it easy. "Taking it easy" being the Spanish Way. But of course, Spanish descended Latin Americans insist they would have blasted off for Mars by Nov, 1492, if not for USA/Anglo interference in their countries.
The Economist comment pages are among very few non-moderated comment pages that normally don't get bogged down by stupidity. Please help keeping it that way by removing yourself from this blog. You are clearly too ignorant to post here.
You didn't debate a single allegation I made, Senyor. Not one.
So, the fact that your co-workers, who happen to be Hispanics and blacks, (whatever that has to do with anything) don't work as hard as you do (according to yourself) is a proof that 450 million Spanish-speaking people are lesser people? That is surely, a statement of tremendous silliness.
The Spanish-speaking world has done numerous contributions to science and arts throughout the last centuries, particularly in medicine, architecture, navigation, literature and music. Anyone in the US with actual knowledge would never deny that.
Why then, is Latin America left behind Europe/US in most human development indices? The answer is very complex, but with regards to Argentina, there is little doubt in my mind that the locally brewed ideology called Peronism bares a lot of the blame.
The hatefulness and ignorance of your posts reveals that any greatness US has achieved didn't come from your kind or breed. And you better wipe that smirk off your face: US has seen its best days, a 25% obesity rate will see to that.
BentoBoy, as far as I know, there are more unemployed people in the US and other "anglo" countries than in Argentina and other latin american countries. If I were stupid - and racist - enough to analyze this situation from your perspective, I would say argentineans are hard workers (at least they're not those who are "taking it easy"). Maybe the problem is not the "spanish element" (whatever it is that you're trying to say with it), but the racist. It hasn't done any good to your society. And I refuse to believe this is the "USA/Anglo way". They're - despite some sad exceptions - better than that. much better.
JonasBs_As, I want to know what specifically are these "Spanish-speaking world has done numerous contributions to science and arts throughout the last centuries, particularly in medicine, architecture, navigation, literature and music". Name me some advances in each of those made by Spanish surnamed people.
"I get corrected at work by Blacks and Hispanicks, asking me to slow down, to not go so fast, asking me what my problem is because I work hard"
You probably have a low menial job. Your coworkers are lazy because they belong to a low class that can only get low menial jobs. Their ethnic group has nothing to do with it.

Luis Agote: Safe blood transfusions

100s of prominent architects that have shaped the architecture of the world. The Southern States of the US + California have a lot of Spanish architectural influences.
Antoni Gaudí: Probably the most famous architect in modern history.
Ferdinand Magellan & Christopher Columbus (actually Portuguese and Italian, but working out of Spain)
Literature & Music:
More than a dozen Nobel lectures in literature, The Guitar, Tango
The ones mentioned above are from the top of my head and are mostly Argentinean or Spanish. Including the rest of the Latin America there are countless more, if you should care.
What nonsense. If you want to cite a Hispanick literary achivement, then you have to show me a Hispanick book that has taken the world by storm as Harry Potter has done.
There were no seafaring adavances made by any Spanish surnamed person. It was the Great Anglos who invented the sextant and chronometer. And steel ships. Steam powered ships. Nuclear powered ships. Satellite navigation.
All cultures of the world have their own unique architecture. If you want to cite advances made by Hspanicks in making buldings taller, then fine. It was Anglo invented steel that allowed for buildings to go higher and higher. Rich oil sheikdoms hire Anglo architects to design their "tallest buldings in the world".
The first coronary artery bypass surgery was performed in the United States on May 2, 1960, at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine-Bronx Municipal Hospital Center by a team led by Dr. Robert Goetz and the thoracic surgeon, Dr. Michael Rohman with the assistance of Dr. Jordan Haller and Dr. Ronald Dee.
Haters are always going to hate.
Btw, recommending your own posts only makes you look silly.
actually, if you would have finished reading the wiki article, just two paragraphs more you would of seen that Favaloro did indeed invent the modern coronary bypass surgery, the problem is you are a complete failure with your ideals and will never man up enough to read the part of history that is not about your beloved anglo world.
O, and Argentina was the third country in the world to have a nuclear program(or what ig uess you would call a big steel nuclear thingy), thats after the us and ussr, still beat germany, england, the nordic countries and whatever other superior race you adhere to.
INDEC measures two kinds of poverty. poverty (pobreza)which is about AR$1600 or AR$ 13.5 ($3) per person per day, and extreme poverty (indigencia) which it is like TE says.
both of them are in doubt but what TE says is a mistake.
But even with private measurements of poverty and extreme poverty (TE should put it to show the difference), Argentine life quality and income level are the highest in Latin America.
It looks like TE (like INDEC) is in a dark zone.
"But even with private measurements of poverty and extreme poverty (TE should put it to show the difference), Argentine life quality and income level are the highest in Latin America.." maybe for you Unasur, for the rest of your countrymen your statement is a pipe dream. You don't need to go further than Uruguay and Chile to find countries where the quality of life is far higher than in Argentina.
Too bad the military has a budget so low and equipment so old, that Bolivia could invade and conquer the country with impunity. The official excuse is that the military must be subservient to the civil powers, but the other elaborate stunt was to successfully castrate, declaw and defang the armed forces so that another (well deserved) coup could not occur again. Pagina12 regularly prints stories of kidnapped babies, and other abuses by the insane officials that killed (sometimes) innocent people. But the real terrorists - those who kidnapped, planted bombs, and drove the country to near collapse in the 1970's - are alive and well and in power. Imagine Gotham City with The Joker as the elected mayor: Nilda Garre, former Montonera, is the Minister of Security and former minister of defense of Argentina. With "leaders" such as these, The UK and the Falklanders have nothing to worry about -and they can drill every inch of the sea for oil dry for the next 20 years at least. 54% of the Argentines actually voted for these clowns in office. But for the sake of "de-mock-racy", may Cristina Kirchner finish her 4 years in peace. Maybe in 2015 these poor victims will finally wake up and vote for some other party... then again, it would benefit the UK if they did not. (wink wink, nudge, nudge!)
Loved the comparison with the joker elected major LOL.I guess humor is all we have left for now. This government is absolutely corrupt and inept. Unfortunately, I really don't have much hope of improvement in the next years. Even if this government loses in 2015.
Cloudwarrior, inflation is not out of control. It hovers at around 25%, horrendously high, but not out of control.
Despite all the gloom and doom predictions about Argentina, the truth is that the country is still by far the best country to line in the region. Highest Income Per Capita (position shared with Uruguay and Chile), fascinating culture, great natural beauty, biggest production of media content in the spanish language (film, television, books, magazines, world-class advertising) and a capital that is essentially a jewel of a city, despite its faded elegance, with magnificent architecture and a seductive and pulsating life all of its own. I am not happy with our current government but I would NEVER dream of living anywhere else.
FabsArg, I love Argentina, and travel there often for business. But it is a hard place to do business.
As I commented in this forum, if it wheren´t for your crazy governments, your GDP per capita would be at West European levels.
And BTW, a 25% inflation is most certainly an out of control inflation.
Point taken, Zerge, I just wish that sometimes people would focus on all the great things that Argentina has. It is no wonder that it is selected as one of the top 20 countries in the world to live in by the magazine International Living (the only latin american country on that highly selective list). There is a LOT more to Argentina than its current administration.
Conducting business may well be difficult as you say, but we need to bear in mind that the nature of doing business is directly related to each country´s particular idiosincracy. There are many honest, hard-working businessmen in Argentina. Sometimes a lot of foreign business people get in touch with the wrong kind of people. There are scoundrels and conmen EVERYWHERE. Even in the perfect world of the north, which by the way, is not doing so well at the moment, thanks to the greed and voracity of its financial sector.
It is beyond disturbing how the Kirchner regime keeps a steady course straight to hell. If I hadn't experienced this myself I would have never believed it.
I used to wonder why Argentina had such a high GDP per capita. Then I realized it would be two times higher if it where not for government meddling.
Yawn, yawn, another TE article attacking the Argentine INDEC and not challenging the oppositions "private estimates".
A bit rich coming from a publication which staunchly defends the City of London, same said City where worldwide Libor rates were fraudulently set.
Oh, but I forget, that's all in the past now and honesty, propriety and accounts that actual reflect a true picture of bank balances are all the rage now, aren't they?
Please remind me, what is it that people who live in glass houses should not do?
As per usual latinaview you try to shoot the messenger.
Try to just concentrate on the actual subject for once and leave the rant about the evil US or UK out of it.
So could you feed yourself on US$1 or 6 pesos per day?
The "University of Buenos Aires puts the minimum daily budget for a healthy diet at 24 pesos per person"
Thats the UNIVERSITY OF BUENOS AIRES, not the LSE, not Harvard or USC.... that is a university in ARGENTINA. The article isn't about the City of London. It isn't about Libor rates or bank balances.
So answer this. Do you trust the inflation figures published by INDEC? And if so, how do these marry with a recent increase in the minimum wage by 25% (2.5 times the official inflation rate but pretty much equal to the unofficial rate) and still several major unions said the increase was too low.
Consumidores Libres even lost its not-for-profit status because it published the price increases (for the past two decades) and lately they were just too high to hide.
Every Argentinean knows inflation is out of control and the government muzzles anyone who says it out loud.
I dare you to concentrate your entire reply solely on inflation in Argentina - after all, that is what the article is about.
Good challenge Cloudwarrior, I don't need to add anything here, I am really looking forward to the great and inspiring response that Latinaview will give us!!
It is unbelievable that any people can defend the goverment on this point....I was in BA last month and I got charged a small bottle of water (500ml) 5 pesos, and not in a nice bar...in a petrol station!!!! Maybe according to the INDEK, people should just live on a small bottle of water a day...I hope we have enough intelligent people in the country to oust this maniacs in the next election....although I also need to hope that the opposition can gather up and come up with a decent proposal too..fingers crossed
If you wish to have a civil interchange of views learn some manners and stop being patronising. I will concentrate my reply in whichever subject I wish, you're not obliged to read it.
I'm sick and tired of reading and listening to self righteous pompous sermons from people, publications and institutions with feet of clay who attack the Argentine administration on charges which they themselves are guilty of, got it? We're not talking -as you claim - "evil" here, just plain old hypocrisy. Perhaps you're just so used to living amongst it that you can't even recognise it any longer?
Do I trust the INDEC figures? Not necessarily but neither do I trust the collection of statistics by hostile pressure groups. If I don't know the methodology used in the various estimations I'm not in a position to arrive at a sensible conclusion and neither are you.
Are the INDEC figures likely to be an underestimation of inflation? Very probably yes. Are the opposite claims likely to be an overestimation of inflation? The same answer applies.
Are you claiming purchasing power (salaries) have not risen above the inflation numbers over the last eight years in Argentina? Then explain why there has been a boom in consumption while private debt has remained at insignificant levels by Western standards?
Trust me, nobody despises the English more than I do, but this time TE is right.
"Do I trust the INDEC figures? Not necessarily but neither do I trust the collection of statistics by hostile pressure groups."
Ok, so you admit that the government is lying? You should then ask yourself: Why are they lying? It isnt as if it is difficult to calculate inflation correctly, I can tell you that much. Truth is: They are robbing us all blind, that is what is going on. Unfortunately, a large part - 54% - of the argentinean public (possibly like yourself) have become completely numb to that fact.
Being a patriot is an admirable feat, but defending the current government is more a kin to treason.
Ah... lies, damned lies and statistics. There is no government on earth that doesn't manipulate figures to their advantage, that Cristina's government might have over egged the pudding is of little consequence in the larger scheme of things.
You should ask yourself: Why did 54% of the population vote for her re-election? Because working class people are simple minded and she bought them off with "populist" policies? No, I don't think that is a logical proposition, a truer one is that she delivered a higher standard of living to the majority of the population and was rewarded by them for doing so. Your side of the argument in Argentina seems unable to grasp such a simple concept.
First off, I am being civil, if you thought I was being (or am) patronising then that is more a reflection on your mindset than my actions.
If you are "sick and tired of reading and listening to self righteous pompous sermons from people, publications and institutions with feet of clay who attack the Argentine administration on charges which they themselves are guilty of" then I suggest you stick to reading Cristina's sycophantic press ramblings.
First off, my government is not guilty of anything that I accuse the Argentine government of being.
You yourself don't trust INDEC figures and then you try to soften this 'painful' admission by saying you don't trust others. Inflation is not rocket science. It is quite easy to work out. Every government does it. Even Argentina once did it.
The Argentine government has the entire apparatus of government to collect inflation figures and yet you castigate the opposition for overestimating inflation? Based on what?
This is how an open government that has nothing to hide calculates the inflation figure:
I especially draw your attention to the part 'Revisions have never occurred and will only occur in exceptional circumstances.' This is how confident they are of their figures.
That is why inflation is easy to work out. If bread goes up then the price is inflated. Lying about inflation doesn't make the price of bread stay the same. Reporting inflation doesn't cause inflation. but it does highlight a problem in the economy.
Inflation destroys wealth. And yes I am saying the salaries have not risen above inflation because inflation is accelerating and wages are not.
Why? Because the official and black market US$ exchange rate are diverging more and more. People were using the US$ to hedge against inflation. That is why there has been a boom in consumption with little increase in private debt.... can't you see the logic of that?
Why would you save money when it will be worth less literally every day. People know there is inflation even if the government is lying about it. With nearly all avenues of saving or using US$ closed off, consumers have little choice but to spend their money.
Argentineans are not getting richer. Advances in the past 10 years have been impressive on some measures, but many of those gains are now being eroded. Chile is leaping ahead of Argentina and well on its way to being a fully developed country. Growth rates and investment in places like Colombia and Mexico are blowing those of Argentina out of the water.
When you lie about something as unimportant (your view) as inflation then businesses can't plan and invest. Together with the other regulations being enacted by BA, Argentina is only exceptional now that it once was much more developed than its neighbourhood and now isn't so much.
Just because gains were made between 2002 and 2010 does not mean they cannot be destroyed. Argentina currently has the highest GDP (PPP) per capita in Latin America, however Chile is just about to overtake her and Mexico and Uruguay are not far behind. With an inflation rate of 10% (official) it is bound to happen. With a real rate that is more than double that, it is only going to happen faster.
Argentina can lie all it wants about its inflation but that doesn't mean other countries are. There is a reason my country is so much richer than Argentina - it isn't because we work harder or are more intelligent. It is because our government creates an environment that gives us long term prosperity - not short term. By your own admission you don't trust the Argentine government - I feel sorry for you if this is your country.
I trust my government.
Be hopefull . People are awakning everywhete HERE.Resistance has just started. Gorvernment is going against the ones Who offer jobs, middle class workers , tax payers tired of subsiding resting plans.Argentina is already at war.We cannot be blind. Opposition is working.all of a sudden we wii be suprised of coming events.
Perhaps INDEC should now mandate a maximum wage for Argentinean politicians.
Let's see how Cristina can dress herself and afford those multiple layers of makeup she needs on a daily basis after INDEC has mandated exactly how little she can spend to do it.
Now now, no complaints please, disagreeing with INDEC doesn't usually end well Cristina!
INDEC should be renamed as the Ministry of Economic Fun.
Send John Cleese down there, he has some good experience with the Ministry for funny walks.

Kaiser Health Policy News Index: March 2014
The Kaiser Health Policy News Index is designed to help journalists and policymakers understand which health policy-related news stories Americans are paying attention to, and what the public understands about health policy issues covered in the news. This month's Index finds that the public followed the missing Malaysia Airlines flight and the conflict between Ukraine and Russia more closely than news about ACA enrollment. Additionally, many Americans remain unaware of the status of Medicaid expansion in their own states.Poll Finding Read More
