Skip to comments.And So It Ends For Argentina (Lessons for America)
Posted on 10/25/2011 5:44:35 AM PDT by Travis McGee
In spite of having a healthy sized ego Ive always known my limitations. Even though Ive been writing about survival and preparedness for many years on daily basis Ive never considered myself a writer, not even a mediocre one. I know what a writer is and I know Im not one. Ive read the work of excellent ones, and I know I just lack that art. I am though a somewhat acceptable story teller, and thats how I managed to write a book that people can relate to, can learn the lessons I want to transmit and read it without deciding to use it for tinder after ten pages. The most recurrent topic in my blog has been preparedness stories and anecdotes, specifically oriented towards real world survival events and how the people of my country managed to get up, shake off the dust and continue in spite of what this country throws at us.
Some of the events Ive written about have been hard to digest. Even though Im firmly against the doom and gloom fascination so common in the survival and preparedness world, theres times when you just have to tell it as it is. You cant disguise the death of a person you know, or relate incidents of crime and violence looking through pink-shaded glasses because one extreme is just as bad as the other. The nature of the topics discussed here are serious, sometimes matters of life and death, so thats why to a certain nouvel readership it might seem dark to read. Even with a pragmatic eye and objective point of view none of this reads like a walk in the park.
As I write this, I cant avoid feeling two very clear sensations. The first one I can only explain by saying that its like stepping out of a boat just as it finishes its slow, decadent sinking and finally goes under the surface. The second one is genuine sadness. Of all the posts Ive written, this is without a doubt the saddest one Ive written. Im not talking about the loss of culture, standards of living or the death of a friend. Its not about the starvation of children of violence towards people close to me. Its about all that and more. Its about the death of a country itself.
As the press all over the world talks about the political success of the current administration, and mentions the flourishing, prosperous Argentina, a clear minority which Im part of sees things differently. It makes you wonder and ask yourself a few other things as well. Who writes all these praises? What kind of data do they use to make such positive statements? How can a country be booming economically, yet keeps having shantytowns grow at an accelerating rate, poverty, misery and decadence never backing down one inch, and the 3rd greatest inflation in the planet as the icing on the cake? After reading some of the emails people sent me on the success of Argentina, I wonder if its just innocent stupidity, lack of professionalism or if theres more to it than meets the eye and there are other intentions behind it.
Argentina was fatally wounded almost ten years ago and Argentina as I knew it died yesterday, October 23, 2011, when Ms. Kirchner was re-elected with over 50% of the votes, gaining complete control of the country. She now controls the executive of course, but also the congress, unions and even the media through the Kirchner Media Law. The headlines of the world consider this something of a surprise, a small number of Argentines such as myself consider this the culmination of a decade long process that started with the destruction of opposing parties by any means, legal or not, the indoctrination of the generations to come through several channels including the mandatory Citizen Formation Studies in schools and even an officially approved version of history. It seems insane, but the History I was taught twenty years ago is different from the one my son is taught, much worse, its different from the recent history I SAW with my own eyes.
One can only wonder how can such an authoritarian leader earn so much public support? Wasnt it bad enough when they controlled the media through an unconstitutional law, or what about our retirement funds begin stolen (nationalized) right in our faces?
How Did This happen?
The process was long and patient at some times, brutal at others. People from other parties or simply with different views suddenly found themselves facing various charges or harassment. People that didnt play along simply didnt end up well, and by that it includes every possible end you can think of. Soon enough politicians that used to be the opposition ended up siding with the ruling K party. Journalists and political analysts that didnt play ball would be threatened to remind them of their position, or eventually found themselves unemployed and no one willing to hire them. The young adult sector was dealt with by the son of the Kirchners, Maximo. He formed the young Ks, with their leaders grouped in an organization called La Campora.La Campora was formed by friends of the sons president, at times such a useless and lazy gang, not even Nestor Kirchner himself could place them in the positions they wanted on occasions. During a meeting with the Young K leaders hes quoted to have said guys, guys, you come here asking for positions of power and management, but you dont even have a high school diploma for me. Almost like a Homer Simpson parody, even the slightest degree of competence would place you in charge of an area of the government or in charge of a recently nationalized company, like when they took back Aerolineas Argentinas airlines from the Spaniards.
As for the rest of the population, nothing has ever worked as well for the peronist party as keeping those families poor and numerous, and the Ks repeat that same recipe. The handouts for one reason or another make sure those votes keep coming. Handouts per child, for political support, its all there if you show up to the rallies or protest against the companies that arent team players with the government. If you are a company owner, in the legal or illegal pharmaceutical business, a good amount of donations will go a long way in ensuring the health of your business. Where does the money come from? Stealing the retirement funds helped, so does sucking the blood out of whats left of the middle class through taxes, but the key is Argentinas Green Gold: Soy. In a world in crisis commodities such as soy are expensive. What did the Ks do? Take so much from the farmers through taxes with no regard to the future, so that today the land almost grows soy exclusively. In agricultural terms this is madness but they are doing it anyway. Get rid of everything, cattle, other agro, just plant soy. Soy kills the land and ten years from now were looking at a food crisis, but who cares? The amount of pesticides used already has consequences with child mortality and significant amount of malformations. No one seems to care.
But the most brilliant part of this evil plan was the children, the generations to come. Political brainwashing thanks to the mandatory citizen formation classes, combined with the iron grip on the media that ensured the famous in the showbiz which the uneducated masses follow play along supporting the Ks, all this work had its results eventually. This was complimented with an extreme liberal agenda, from gay marriage and adoption to the official nod to drug abuse. Keep in mind that this has been going on for a decade now. It was first four years of Nestor K, then four more of Cristina K during which Nestor died. Now its four more of Cristina K, and the first generation of indoctrinated kids finally had a chance to vote in these elections.
Dont repeat Our Mistakes
Ms. K won with over half the country voting for her. This may appear to be a triumph of Democracy. You have to wonder though, if it really is a democracy after everything that has happened, including the sharing of power between husband and wife to extend their period in power. Hugo Chavez was voted at some time into office. So was Hitler.
Many people consider what happened to Argentina after its economic collapse to be a window into the possible future of USA. In many ways and in spite of the differences I do think it is. I do see so many of the similarities that I feel encouraged to make certain warnings which followers of my blog read time and again. One of them is being watchful of the calamity of crime and the suffering it causes. Argentina is already becoming like Venezuela in that area as well.
The one I want to make sure people listen to in this case is to please be careful of authoritarian governments. They sprout and grow within the political system and government structure during hard times like weve seen it happen so many times in the past, in different countries at different times. Never forget Hitler got voted into office thanks to the desperation of the Germans just wanting to believe the promises after so much economic struggling. Argentines would hand over a freaking crown to this woman if she asked for one, but they already gave her so much more than that. Please learn from our experience in this as well. Never give more power to a president than the one he should have. Remember that hes always an employee of the people, and not the other way around. Punish authoritarianism by taking action, talking with your representatives and remembering it when its time to vote once again.
USA has real hope in its Tea Party movement and politicians like Ron Paul. Support them. Support movements like the Appleseed Project, those are great folks that teach a key part of the TRUE history of the United States and not a sanitized politically correct version.
Take care everyone,
Posted to the CW2 list as an example of how a country slides into socialist tyranny.
Many lessons applicable to America's near future may be learned from studying the cases of Venezuela, and now Argentina.
Sounds a lot like what has happened here.
The Wife and I have followed this guy's tips for survivng economic downturns, Sad to see it's almost hopeless.

—Sad to see its almost hopeless.—
If you read the book of revelation, you will find that "it" IS hopeless. But in the end there is victory.
Life is a mist.
Ping for later, depressing reading.
And those there are, in large part, unable to stop the slide into oblivion, or unwilling to take the extreme measures required to.
As you have pointed out elsewhere, the US lacks the cultural cohesion that kept Argentina from descending into total chaos and nightmare a decade ago. As Fernando shows, at some point, even that cultural bond can be eroded and eventually eliminated in just the manner he describes. We can see that happening here.
For America, the consequences are and will be dire. Some of us can see it coming. Most of us don't. There's a real possibility for a 'civilizational collapse.' Won't be the first. Nor will it be the last.
Ferfal sure paints a different picure than what the drive-bys are telling us. Thanks for posting!
—Theres a real possibility for a civilizational collapse. Wont be the first. Nor will it be the last.—
I agree with all but the last statement. This really may be "Ezekiel 38,39" and a soon unfolding of events as described in Revelation.
We are not Argentina. If we fall, everybody does. Iceland was the canary in the cave. And since it was the first, it was able to still rely on the mere existence of the rest of western civilization to help them out of their mess (in progress). What's coming is going to be quite global. And icky.
Thanks for the ping, stay safe, brother.
What I saw discouraged me, and I wouldn't dare, especially since Ms Kirchner has been reelected, buy anything there. I speak Spanish, as does my Austrian wife, so culturally, there was a lot to like. Pre-collapse, Argentina was, just like many latin American countries, rich and poor, no in-between. I imagine it still is.
There were some stupendous buys there as far as real-estate goes, and though the people were extremely friendly to Americans, I decided when Ms. Kirchner began to seize bank funds for various government projects, the writing was on the wall.
It's a shame. Their agriculture exports are booming, the only saving grace, and no one has lent them money, so a default will not be a large one.
The Argentinians have experienced nothing but authoritarian leadership throughout their history. Their culture has survived only because misery unites them. They have never experienced true capitalism, only crony, quasi-free markets and despotism. The fact that we Americans have experienced prosperity through free markets makes us different in important ways. For this reason I find it difficult to equate our situation with theirs, at any point in our history. Even now.
Huh? Unless the seed and fertilizer companies have come up with new breeds of soy, I had always understood that soybeans revitalized the soil because it is a legume that can take nitrogen from the air. Essentially after planting corn for a couple of years you rotate to soybeans to give the land a year off.
If he's talking about high-intensity chemical farming of soybeans, he's right, but it's the method, not the plant, that is the problem. No-till farming with soybeans replaces nitrogen and leaves the root masses and much of the green matter for decomposition. Farmers in Latin America had grown milpas of corn, beans, and squash (together) for over a thousand years with relatively little soil depletion.
Thanks for posting this. I believe many people still think that we would be immune from such as this happening here. In particular if we elect a 'conservative' president in 2012. However much is already in place. The wheels are in motion and have been for a long time conservative president or not. It will take great united energy to battle the forces at work. To preserve our culture, heritage and nation. Not the PC crap that we constantly see from the left and also from many on the right. I agree with the poster above that our social cohesion is weakening to the point of there being little if any at all left at least in the national sense. We certainly have a hard time uniting on much even on the so called right side of the aisle. Our whole societal structure is under attack and by and large under control of Marxist/liberal doctrine and I'm not sure we have the backbone anymore to fight it. We must unite on our forefathers, our common culture, heritage and blood. Without it we are just a shell.
This woman's husband won with less than a quarter of the vote 3 elections ago before she succeeded him again this time.
These folks are Peronistas basically, left wing Nationalists
hard to figure except it ain't good
problem with Argentina is where we are headed ..though I think racially we will be more Brasil...Argentina is far less Africoid with almost no pure AmerIndians
but they both are largess cultures supported by a minority of earners...but here is the kicker...government largess there is not a cell phone and decent care and air condiditoning sitting on yer ass collecting entitlements like her
it's just barely living ...or squatting
Like JP2 said, sin eventually devours itself. Hitler messed up a lot of life, as did Stalin, but they eventually collapsed.
So, yea, it will be a fight if we lose, but a fight for us to make until it is won. Then a new opportunity will arise - for those to toss away or fight for anew.
Hope is in God, not man. Pray and fight. Pray and eat. Pray and fight some more. Pray and sleep. Repeat entire life. That's our call.
When evil takes over, life gets easier (clearer) - there's less guesswork in who/what to fight. Like the Polish and East Germans, even the indoctrinated see through all the crap without help, and renewed brainwashing efforts have the opposite effect.
The goal is a civil society with the rule of law and real respect for individual civil and property rights.
Democracy is merely the mechanism that has on average been the most successful at creating and maintaining such a society.
IOW, don't confuse means with ends. It is not impossible to imagine an absolute monarchy that effectively meets these ends, or a true democracy that doesn't. In fact, we're well into experiencing this.
Husband who preceded her was German Speaking Swiss descent ...and Croat.
He and Wifey are arguably the most beloved by Jewish groups there and worldwide as any Latin American leaders.
During the military repression of Communist Revolutionaries there in the 70s and early 80s, Jewish students were disproportionately involved in the Communist movements (Montoneros)themselves and hence were often liquidated by the military. The Kirchners...not Jewish to my knowledge...were allied with Montoneros and have worked to overturn the amnesty granted military from that time by civilian successors and they have returned stolen art taken to Argentina during and after WWII to Jewish groups in Europe.
The World Jewish Congress adores this bunch, so I doubt they are descended from Odessa File sorts
NOT SO!!! Yes, soybeans help replenish nitrogen (as do all legumes), they don't do so completely and they take other nutrients. But, to say "soy kills the land" is not true either.
The normal pratice is to continually rotate crops and, although it is done, it is not considered good practice (at least in the Midwest, where I run my family's farm) to plant the same crop in consecutive years.
btw...I highly recommend Suicide of a Superpower if you don't already have it

I suspect that only one in four or so even here - with a very well informed base - really understand what you are talking about: Sea Peoples; Vandals; Chichimecas; the An Lushan Rebellion; the Thirty Years War. Catastrophic technological and population decline.
A quick glance on the net.. Don't Cry for Weeds, Argentina
Genetically Modified Soy Stirs Up Trouble in Argentina
Argentina's adoption of genetically modified soy was touted as a big GM success story, propping up struggling farmers and the country's sinking economy, but seven years later it is causing an environmental disaster, say researchers. The crop, sold by GM giant Monsanto, raised yields so quickly that it spread like a virus and now covers half the arable land in Argentina. Big farmers, eager to plant more, have driven some 150,000 small farmers off their land. The soy was bred to be resistant to Roundup, Monsanto's patented herbicide. Problem is, the soy is so tenacious that it pops up where it doesn't belong, prompting farmers to dump other, more powerful herbicides on it. This heavy herbicide use can screw up soil and devastate neighboring farms. Also worrying is the development of herbicide-resistant weeds. Monsanto denies that this cocktail of vicious cycles is the fault of the crop itself, instead placing the blame on monoculture — the planting of one crop to the exclusion of all others — something they were shocked, shocked to find Argentinean farmers engaging in.

eorge Soros to Invest $300 Million to Produce Biofuel in Argentina
Argentinean Federal Planning minister, Julio de Vido, revealed yesterday in New York the interest of the group lead by Hungarian financier and philanthropist George Soros in developing bio-fuel in Santa Fe province, Argentina. The investment would be between 250 and 300 million dollars, he informed after meeting with Soros son -Jonathan Soros-, and it would be oriented to produce bio-fuel from corn and sugar cane. The plant would be settled in Santa Fe province, one of the closest to Buenos Aires and one of the main centers for farming activities in the country. More specifically, it would be set at Venado Tuerto city. The project would employ 1,300 people directly and among 8 and 10 thousand people indirectly", the minister considered, and anticipated a production of 200 million liters of bio-fuel. The Soros group was already involved in real estate investments in the country and then got to manage over 170 thousand hectares of country land in several Argentinean provinces. It has now strong investments in cattle, soy, corn, wheat, sunflower, and milk production. Though their bio-fuel interest has a background with the buying of an ethanol plant in Minas Gerais -Brazil-, they surely saw an opportunity in Argentina after the recent fuzz about the bio-fuel law declared by the government -approved in 2004 and re-approved in April with a different text-. This law...
... sets tax deduction incentives for the production of bio-fuel, and makes mandatory for all liquid fuels from petrol to contain 5% of ethanol or bio-fuel. Though it might seem a positive initiative, the duplicate approval left a sour feel to it.
On the other hand, its no surprise the project takes place in Santa Fe province, since its home to several bio-energy initiatives. Major oil companies have projects for soy conversion into bio-fuel, and petrol companies such as Repsol have plans for millionaire investments.
"We have to change our history, change our culture, change the way we think. - Michelle Obama"
In a way she is correct, she is just looking through the wrong end of the spyglass. We need to uproot and utterly destroy every vestige of leftist cultural oppression and policy, beginning no later than Woodrow Wilson and the other 'progressives'. Authentic federalism needs to be restored. The size, scope and authority of the Washington government must be curtailed with particular focus on administrative agencies and the federal judiciary. The welfare state, the police state and the education-indoctrination racket need to be cut off at the roots and those systems killed. Those are the historical and cultural changes that must and shall inevitably come. The only question is whether Icarus will land soft or hard.
bookmark, thanks for posting.
As I understand it (and I am just a home gardener) legumes only release that nitrogen as the plant roots decompose. If you continually plant legumes and never let them decompose in an off-season, I'd guess they don't add any nitrogen back.
And of course legumes use other nutrients, so if you mono-crop intensively with soy (or corn or wheat for that matter), you are going to cause soil degradation problems.

1. Mixture - different societies come into contact and produce a society with an outlook different from any of the combined parts.
2. Gestation - the period of time between the mixing of the different societies and the expansion of the civilization.
3. Expansion - the surplus generated by the society is invested in activities that benefit the civilization. This can include an increase in knowledge, increase in physical area, technological advancements that increase efficiency, etc. Civilizations make use of different instruments of expansion. Quigley calls a social organization or unit an instrument if it meets social needs.
4. Age of Conflict - The rate of increase resulting from the use of one or more social instruments slows down which results in "interesting times". The instrument can be reformed or a new instrument consistent with the civilization's outlook can circumvent the old instrument. If reform is achieved, a new age of expansion begins. If the vested interests of the previous instrument of expansion increasingly consume resources while serving no social needs, Quigley says that the instrument has then become an institution. Expansion can continue, but it is at the expense of neighbors, which leads to imperialist wars. When the vested interests have crushed all internal opposition, the next stage appears.
5. Universal Empire - typically a state or political unit on the periphery of the civilization gains power over the whole civilization. The illusion of a golden age appears. The social organization remains stagnant.
6. Decay - lack of belief in the civilization's outlook or inability to meet needs of the people leads to people opting out of the system. An age of cynicism, low cunning and despair.
7. Invasion - external forces disrupt the civilization's social organization and it is unable or unwilling to defend itself. That spells the end of the civilization.
Quigley stated that modern Western civilization as embodied by America has succeeded in arriving at the brink of the Age of Conflict stage no fewer than four times, but has always managed to reinvigorate itself by launching into a new Age of Expansion. Recall that expansion in Quigley's terms doesn't necessarily apply to the acquisition of new territory. If hes correct, were now out of options, and that weve progressed rapidly through to stage 6. As you may know, I have my own ideas about whats going on with respect to the role that the will to power has played in modern times.
An excellent reference appears here: The Catastrophe What the End of Bronze-Age Civilization Means for Modern Times
A very interesting and informative post. Thanks for that. I've reviewed it for now, but I will be coming back to really chew this one over. It deserves real thought.
When Lady K went to the G20 summit there was extensive coverage here about the gross riches spent on shoes, for example, that would have made Isabella Marcos blush.
To hear she was re-elected was not a surprise, but it has to be as disappointing to FF as news of Caligula's re-election next year would be to myself here in the U.S.
I appreciate the post and also recommend everyone to read FF's diaries.
It's true. The majority who happen to vote in one contest on one particular day does not make something right or wrong. The boundaries are clear. You can read about them in the U.S. Constitution. We're on the precipice of civil strife, beginning not with drumming unions taking over city parks and supported by corrupt and stupid urban politicians, rather perhaps with a protracted guerrilla campaign, one without statements and pronouncements. It might be triggered by a bad choice by a single judge in a particular Supreme Court 5-4 decision, after which there will be no more innocents. There are no non-combatants in real war, as opposed to play house war. Anyone who supports usurpation of the Rule of Law will become fair game when lawlessness officially becomes precedent defended by an equally lawless and presumptuous self-styled monopoly of force.
*UGGGGH* How many times do I have to point out that Hitler was NOT elected?!?!? He was appointed, then engineered a coup behind the scenes.
"Anyone who supports usurpation of the Rule of Law will become fair game when lawlessness officially becomes precedent defended by an equally lawless and presumptuous self-styled monopoly of force."
Immediate word associations from this:
Moscow, Old Bolsheviks, Show Trials, Night of the Long Knives, Sturm Abteilung . . . and so on.
I agree, and I think the best one can realistically hope for is to be living in a region that is not as badly shattered as many will be, particularly the urban welfare zones.
Suicide of a Superpower is on my next-to-read list. I've enjoyed reading and listening to PJB over the years.
I suspect that only one in four or so even here - with a very well informed base - really understand what you are talking about: Sea Peoples; Vandals; Chichimecas; the An Lushan Rebellion; the Thirty Years War. Catastrophic technological and population decline.
I quite agree.
Own it, read it. He has a lot of wisdom.

Yes, and my God help us.
And when the SHTF in Argieland, invade the Falklands.
Have you seen this? I just saw it today, reading the third page of the thread. Selco from Bosnia telling of his expereinces during a year long seige of some city in Bosnia near the Croat border.

Fracking California: Oil Boom Bonanza a Dirty Desert MiragePosted on January 30, 2014 | 2 CommentsThe latest target of the unconventional oil craze is California hydraulic fracturing (fracking) the Monterey Shale in the central and southern parts of the state. With wildly optimistic predictions of an economic bonanza, the oil is carbon-intensive, requires massive amounts of fresh water, creates industrial pollution and seismic risk, and is impossible to regulate effectively because of significant scientific unknowns.
Caltrans Driving Us to Freeway InsanityPosted on January 5, 2014 | 1 CommentCaltrans plans to widen the 91 Freeway [again], spending $1.3 Billion to improve commute speeds 1.5 miles per hour, while further destroying the only wildlife connection between the Santa Ana Mountains and the Puente-Chino Hills.

Valero Moves to Ship Tar Sands By Rail into LA HarborPosted on October 18, 2013 | 7 CommentsValero Energy seeks permits for large-scale shipments of low-quality tar sands oil via rail into their Port of Los Angeles refinery, without any public comment or environmental review. As part of a larger move to transport climate-disrupting unconventional crude to ports for refining and export to the world, it presents dangers given recent rail accidents, the corrosive nature of tar sands bitumen, and the significant pollution that surrounding communities already live with.
Big Oil Looks to Transport Tar Sands and Oil Shale By RailPosted on September 30, 2013 | 3 CommentsThe boom in North Dakota shale oil and the growth in Alberta tar sands, as well as the political costs of building pipelines has encouraged a move to ship more oil by rail. The move comes after high-profile disasters and the threat of massive climate disruption has caused heightened scrutiny of unconventional oil shipped by train to the global market.
Regulating Fracking Will Not Protect California from FrackingPosted on August 9, 2013 | 2 CommentsLauren Steiner writes on California's insufficient move to regulate fracking with SB 4, sponsored by State Representative Fran Pavley: "Worse than having no regulations, weak regulations provide political cover to legislators who could otherwise be pressured to vote for a moratorium on the practice." Tell Fran Pavley to withdraw her bad regulatory bill and fight for a fracking ban instead!

(By Balaseshan) Honeywell International Inc. (NYSE: HON) said it has agreed to buy Intermec Inc. (NYSE: IN) for about $600 million net of cash and debt acquired, and guided fiscal 2013 largely below estimates.
Under the terms of the agreement, Honeywell will purchase all outstanding common shares of Intermec for $10.00 per share in cash. The transaction represents a 48% premium to Intermec's closing price on November 1, the last trading day prior to Intermec announcing it had retained BofA Merrill Lynch.
The deal is expected to further enhance Honeywell's scale in rugged mobile computing devices, building on its Scanning & Mobility franchise within the company's Automation and Control Solutions portfolio.
[Related -Honeywell International Inc. (HON): Why China Matters To Honeywell?]
Although the transaction would be dilutive in 2013 by three to four cents, the estimated impact is included in Honeywell's announced 2013 earnings per share (EPS) guidance range, and the company anticipates Intermec to be accretive in 2014.
Upon completion of the acquisition, Intermec would become part of Honeywell Scanning & Mobility in Honeywell's Automation and Control Solutions business. Intermec, which is headquartered in Everett, Washington, employs about 2,200 employees and operates more than 65 offices worldwide, serving nearly every region globally.
In light of announcement, Intermec said it is suspending its previously announced search for a permanent Chief Executive Officer. The transaction is expected to close by the end of the second quarter 2013.
[Related -Honeywell International Inc. (HON): Sales, Margins To Get A "Turbo" Boost]
In addition, Honeywell reaffirmed its full year 2012 EPS guidance of $4.47, which is the midpoint of previous forecast of $4.45 to $4.50, and its sales outlook of $37.5 billion. Street analysts predict EPS of $4.47 on revenue of $37.63 billion.
For the fiscal 2013, the company expects EPS of $4.75 to $4.95 and sales of $39.0 billion to $39.5 billion, while Street predicts EPS of $4.95 on revenue of $39.42 billion.
"We expect 2012 to be another year of strong execution for Honeywell, building on an established track record over the past decade. While we're planning for a continued slow-growth macro environment in 2013, we will remain flexible and adhere to our disciplined focus on growth, efficiency and competitiveness, driving sales and margins higher," said Honeywell Chairman and CEO Dave Cote.
HON closed Friday's regular session up 0.73% at $61.97, while IN ended down 1.48% at $7.98.

Imagine a school with no bells or classes, no principal or school board. It's not an idea, it's a large-scale experiment in the upper Midwest.
A column by my friend Joe Nathan reminded me of the pioneering work of the Minnesota-based Edvisions network. Joe reviews a report by Charles Kerchner, a Claremont (California) University professor, "Can Teachers Run their Own Schools?"
The teacher-run school idea was born in Henderson, Minnesota in 1994, with the creation of the Minnesota New Country School (MNCS). Doug and Dee Thomas, and a number of other public school veterans/visionaries created MNCS., with assistance from, Ted Kolderie, a creative Minnesota policy thinker. MNCS, and a larger cooperative called Edvisions remain in Henderson, providing assistance and inspiration to educators and families throughout the United States (as well as visitors from a number of other countries.) There are 12 "Edvisions" schools in Minnesota and 35 others around the country.
"Can teachers run their own schools?" is an interesting question, but it's actually just one of eight innovations explored in Kerchner's paper and exhibited by the Edvisions network:
- Governance: a producers cooperative is not unusual in the upper Midwest, but uncommon in education. Joe points out that doctors, lawyers, journalists and other professionals have options to form professional partnerships. Kerchner notes: "The use of cooperatives is much more widespread than commonly realized, involving as many as 100 million Americans."
- Staffing: There are more generalists than specialists at Edvisions schools with a much higher percentage of staff focused on core academic subjects than administrative duties.
- Coherence: The most under-appreciated feature of good schools is coherence -- everything works together for teachers and kids. Most networks and districts attempt coherence by dictate. Edvisions schools create coherence though collaboration.
- Evaluation: Execution is at least as important as coherence to school performance and teacher evaluations are key to execution. Edvisions schools feature peer review. Occasionally teachers are non-renewed. There is almost always a high degree of ownership for outcomes.
- Pedagogy: Edvisions schools feature a project-based approach that "moves the responsibility for creating projects and keeping on pace to their completion to the student."
- Project-based learning is common but hard to do rigorously. Edvisions encourages standards-based projects with detailed project plans and assessment rubrics.
- Deeper learning: Kerchner suggests that "Teacher-run schools develop introspective routines that cause both students and adults to inquire deeply into whether and how learning is taking place."
- It's fair to say that some Edvisions schools don't produce high test scores; it reflects "a clear belief that the goal of their schools is not to produce higher test scores. Theirs is a broader curriculum in which measured cognitive achievement is subordinated by important student skills in solving problems, in personal discipline, and self-control."
- Competency-based: Nearly lost in this report is what may be the most innovative thing about Edvisions schools -- they are student-centered, "one kid at a time," schools where students move at their own pace and get more time and help where and when they need it.
- Democratic schools: Edvisions schools "Rely on strong cultures, a common mission, and relational trust. The idea of unitary democracy, as opposed to interest group democracy or political parties, makes the goals of the cooperative enterprise more important than those of individual positions."
Edvisions schools operate under a charter or contract that provides academic and financial autonomy.
Kerchner is clear that "The range of test score results among the teacher-run schools is very large, and so is the student population served... The schools appear to have better than average college test results and college-going rates."
As the digital learning tools improve, networks like Edvisions will be able to add engaging and targeted skill-building playlists to their project-based approach.
America needs more educational experiments like Edvisions -- experiments in governance, structure, and learning.

I genuinely think that Melancon is the better human being, but his choice of everything Obama forced me to vote against him. Notice I did not say 'for' Vitter. I literally wretched and sickened as I pressed cast vote. Vitter's speech showed he had no clue that he wasn't voted for, instead Melancon's alliance to Obama was voted against. Might I put Vitter on notice, I will watch you closely, and vote you out as soon as possible. I do not like you as a person and do not trust you. You are too full of yourself to know that you have been given a gift by Melancon. You will continue to be your own worst enemy.
Palling around with Obama is dancing with the devil !!!!!
We certainly know which is the worse sin here in Louisiana!
Since I actually was at Louisiana Office of Emergency Preparedness in the days right after Katrina, I can say that Vitter was more than present. While Landrieu was there, I'm not so sure she knew where she as or what she was doing at all. I'm not so sure that anyone knew where Melancon was.

Minneapolis Favorite Tips by acemj
Minneapolis Favorites: 55 reviews and 46 photos
Most RecentBest Rated
- 1
Favorite thing: The skyline of Minneapolis is somewhat eclectic with varying architectural styles. When I was here as a kid, it was basically just the IDS Center, but as you can see, things have changed. There is an active nightlife scene downtown as well as some great shopping and theaters. Because of the cold weather, there are skywalks connecting all of the buildings so that you don't have to walk outside at all.
Favorite thing: If you spend some time here, you'll find Minnesotans extremely welcoming folks.
'You betcha!'
However, at first Minnesotans sometimes come across as a bit reserved. They aren't necessarily the most outgoing and wild bunch, but when you get to know them, they are extremely warm and friendly and most important, genuine.
Favorite thing: The mighty Mississippi starts in Minnesota and divides the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Unfortunately, the water is a bit too rough here for swimming, but it makes great photos and is still a major commercial thoroughfare.
Favorite thing: Not everyone is a conservative Midwesterner here. Head to the Hennepin Ave. area south of downtown and you'll find lots of variety.
Fondest memory: To see a hillside white with dogwood bloom is to know a particular ecstasy of beauty, but to walk the gray Winter woods and find the buds which will resurrect that beauty in another May is to partake of continuity.

in response to Don WijetungeAFAIK it should be a case of connecting iPad/computer, opening iTunes, select the device, click on the photo tab, check the sync box is checked and click sync, then open iPhoto to see your transferred images.
It is important as to what happens next as iPhoto will make a jpeg preview of your image, if you intend to edit the image further in say Photoshop you will need to make sure you are working with your original full size image file and not the iPhoto generated preview.
It may be possible to import the images directly via iPhoto, if I get my MBP running before another reply appears I will check it out.
Steve Holton Jul 24, 2010 11:38 AM
in response to Don WijetungeThe photos on the iPad that were imported via the Camera Connection Kit, should appear in iPhoto in exactly the same was they would if, for example, you inserted an SD card in a SD card reader on your iMac. There is no need to involve iTunes in the process.
Depending on your settings in iPhoto, iPhoto might open when you connect the iPad (just as it might if your inserted an SD card in a reader). Other wise you might have to start iPhoto.
This behavior is the same as many other photo Apps like Lightroom, Bridge and Aperture that all recognize the iPad as an import source - assuming, of course, that there are imported photos sitting on the iPad.

But you don't have to subscribe, either, HTTP archives are available at: http://bogomips.org/ruby-io-splice/ There you'll also find links to ssoma/public-inbox for extracting the mail archives to git. shortlog: move mailing list to email@example.com switch documentation to olddoc pack internal structs for 64-bit systems favor comparisons against zero instead of -1 doc updates Again, the io_splice 5.x will remove the mistake of the IO::Splice.copy_stream method. Users are encouraged to use IO.copy_stream in Ruby (1.9+) itself instead.
favor comparisons against zero instead of -1 This should allow faster instructions to be used in some cases. Technically this may be less pedantically correct, but there is enough existing code out there which does the same thing to discourage kernel/libc developers from overloading negative return values. ...And glibc even favors comparison against zero, too.
switch documentation to olddoc wrongdoc was difficult to maintain because of the tidy-ffi dependency and the HTML5 changes in Darkfish could not be handled well by Tidy. olddoc is superior as it generates leaner HTML which loads faster, requires less scrolling and less processing power to render. Aesthetic comparisons are subjective of course but completely unimportant compared to speed and accessibility. ref: http://80x24.org/olddoc/
move mailing list to email@example.com The public-inbox + mlmmj setup on bogomips.org allows posting without subscription and offers downloadable archives via git. The lack of rsyncable archives on librelist nowadays and subscription-required nature of librelist are points against it. Repliers are now encouraged to Cc: all recipients (using the reply-all function of their mail client) since many readers are not subscribed. This project has never accepted or encouraged HTML email, but librelist accepted it. The bogomips.org mail server is configured to treat HTML mail as spam, so do not send HTML mail if you expect a response. Users who wish to subscribe may send a message to: email@example.com Similarly, they may unsubscribe via: email@example.com HTTP archives are available via: http://bogomips.org/ruby-io-splice/ ssoma users may also use: git://bogomips.org/ruby-io-splice (see README change) Old messages to the librelist addresses will continue to get routed to the new mailing list. ref: http://public-inbox.org/
prepare for rb_thread_blocking_region removal It'll be OK to use rb_thread_call_without_gvl when rb_thread_blocking_region is not detectable at all. We still use rb_thread_blocking_region for Ruby 2.0-2.1 because rb_thread_call_without_gvl was detectable in 1.9.3, but not usable as an internal symbol. ref: https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/9502
avoid RARRAY_PTR usage for vmsplice In case somebody finds vmsplice useful in Ruby, we avoid incurring the performance loss from RARRAY_PTR under Ruby 2.1.0 and Rubinius. However, I still haven't found a useful use of vmsplice under Ruby (or any high-level languages).
set close-on-exec in pipe size modification check This prevents a file descriptor leak in case another thread forks and execs while we are in the middle of loading. This places a hard dependency on pipe2, but pipe2 appeared in Linux before pipe size modification.
io_splice 4.2.0 - several bugfixes and workarounds We now limit maximum splice length to (1<<30) to avoid EINVAL errors on 64-bit hosts. vmsplice no longer raises Errno::EFAULT optimizations in newer GCC (not that I've found a good use for vmsplice at all with Ruby...) There are several other small cleanups. Eric Wong (6): copy_stream: small cleanup for pipe splicing limit maximum splice length to 1 << 30 avoid uname() for pipe size modification checks doc: s/librelist.com/librelist.org/ vmsplice: avoid referencing invalid stack address for strings vmsplice: more consistent fileno retry handling

Each year, the flu vaccine is developed to provide immunity to the flu virus strains that are most prevalent and likely to cause illness. Those strains are identified by health experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other leading organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Infectious Disease Society of America (ISDA).
To offer maximum immunity to circulating flu viruses, three flu strains are generally included in each year's single-vaccination formula (a trivalent vaccine). Very recently, a new vaccine was approved that has four strains (a quadrivalent vaccine).
The 2012--2013 seasonal influenza vaccine protects against:
* Strains of Influenza A
* Strains of Influenza B
Remember, even if the flu viruses included in an upcoming season are the same as those included the prior year, it is important to get vaccinated every year because a person's immunity to flu viruses declines over time. Also, the virus can undergo minor mutations from one year to the next.
The annual vaccination is necessary to provide maximum immunity to the current strains of the virus. The CDC has stated that the current flu vaccination is a good match to the strains of flu that are spreading this year.
Actually, two types of vaccines are available.
The traditional -- and still the most popular -- vaccine uses a "dead virus". Incidentally, one absolutely can not "get the flu" from a dead virus.
The other vaccine is created from a "live," but attenuated (weakened, somewhat inactivated), virus vaccine. This is the vaccine that is delivered as a nasal spray. It is approved for ages 2-49. This one should not be given to pregnant women. If you select the "live virus," please discuss this thoroughly with your physician or other healthcare provider.
You may also hear of two fairly new variations of immunizing with the "dead virus" vaccine.
One is using a higher-dose vaccine approved for people age 65 or older to help counteract a waning immune system in this older age group.
The other is a vaccine injected in the skin (intradermally) rather than in a muscle. A small dose goes a longer way here. It is approved for ages 18 to 64.
Your healthcare provider can help you decide about possibly using one of these alternative vaccines. Most will likely recommend the traditional "dead virus" vaccine given by needle in a muscle.
Whenever there is a significant threat of a new strain, such as a new "swine flu" virus, there may be additional instructions and even a recommendation for a separate second vaccine.
The flu is an unpredictable illness, with potentially life-threatening complications.
Over the past 30 years, flu-related deaths in the United States have ranged from a low of 3,300 to a high of 49,000 people annually. Those numbers depend on the strains circulating in a particular season, according to the CDC.
The H1N1 pandemic flu in 2009 (also known as the swine flu) resulted in more than 12,000 flu-related deaths in the United States -- in addition to those citizens who suffered serious health complications or died from the "seasonal" flu.
Up to 20 percent of Americans get the flu each year, and approximately 200,000 people are hospitalized due to flu, according to the American Academy of Family Practitioners.
The flu vaccine is recommended for all healthy people over 6 months of age.
Individuals at the highest risk for flu complications include seniors over age 65, young children, pregnant women and people with chronic conditions such as asthma, chronic lung disease, diabetes, or heart disease.
Some people should not be vaccinated without first talking with their doctor. If you have a severe allergy to eggs, have had a severe reaction to a past flu vaccination, or are currently sick with a fever, discuss the benefits and risks of the flu vaccine with your doctor.
Sometimes there are special rules for infants and children. Be sure to check this out.
You may have heard friends or family debate the effectiveness of a flu shot in preventing the flu or minimizing its symptoms. And, there's still the popular misconception that the flu shot may actually cause the flu.
The most important thing to remember is that after receiving a flu shot, it will take approximately two weeks to develop immunity. So if someone was exposed to the flu before vaccination, or is exposed to another flu-like illness, he or she may still get sick -- hence the myth that the flu shot can "cause the flu."
Some people may still get the flu after receiving a flu shot, but if this happens, it is usually a milder case with fewer complications. Again remember that a "dead virus" flu vaccine can not "give one the flu."
Some people may experience minor side effects from the flu shot such as:
* Soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given
* Low-grade fever
* Aches
If these problems occur, they begin soon after the shot and usually last one to two days. Almost all people who receive influenza vaccine have no serious problems from it.
Health experts recommend that people schedule their annual flu vaccination as soon as vaccine is available. However, it's never too late to reap the benefits of a flu shot, even if it's not administered until later in the flu season.
Generally, the flu season "peaks" around January of each year, and lasts until late spring. Flu shots can most often be found at your local health department and pharmacies, as well as offices of physicians and nurse practitioners. Call for availability.

While a flu vaccine is the best protection against getting sick each flu season, these simple tips from the CDC can help reduce your risk for developing the flu -- and passing it to others.
* Avoid close contact -- Avoid close contact with people who are sick. And when you are sick, keep your distance from others to reduce the risk of spreading illness.
* Stay home -- If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. This helps prevent others from catching your illness.
* Cover your mouth and nose -- Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing.
* Clean your hands -- Wash your hands often, with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub.
* Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth -- Germs are often spread when a person touches something that is contaminated with germs and then touches his or her eyes, nose, or mouth.
* Maintain healthy habits -- Get plenty of sleep, exercise regularly, eat a nutritious diet and drink plenty of fluids.

Flu symptoms usually appear suddenly and can include:
* Fever over 102�F
* Nausea
* Chills and sweats
* Fatigue
* Muscle aches, especially in your back, arms and legs
* Cough
* Headache
* Loss of appetite
The flu is generally not associated with a stuffy nose.

Sector Update: Technology
Technology stocks are unable to shake off disappointing results and guidance last night from sector giant Cisco ( CSCO ). At last look, shares of technology companies in the S&P 500 were down 0.3% as a group.
In company news, SolarCity ( SCTY ) is up nearly 5% at $56.58 a share after the maker of photovoltaic modules announced a new partnership with BMW, offering owners of the upscale vehicles exclusive access to SCTY's most affordable solar-energy services to recharge electric- and hybrid-power vehicles.
Through the partnership, new BMW buyers in SCTY's 14-state service territory will receive a 10% discount on the company's home-solar package. The deal also offers several flexible financing options, including no upfront installation cost and locking in electric rates for 20-year terms.
There is no word whether SCTY - founded and initially funded by Tesla ( TSLA ) Chief Executive Elon Musk - plans to extend a similar offer to buyers of TSLA's all-electric cars.
Earlier today, the company's SolarCity LMC Series I LLC unit completed a $54.4 million offering of solar asset-backed notes. The stock also picked up an upgrade to Outperform from Neutral at Robert W. Baird, which also raised its price target by $21 to $71 a share.
In other sector news,
(+) YUME, (+31.9%) Reports Q3 net loss of $0.03 per share, beating consensus estimate by $0.08. Revenue climbs 39.2% year over year to $36.2 mln, topping Wall Street opinion by $1.73 mln. Issues in-line guidance forecasting Q4 revenue of $57.4 mln to $60.4 mln.
(-) PRCP, (-21.7%) Posts surprise Q1 net loss of $0.07 per share, reversing $0.08 gain in the year-ago period and trailing lone analyst estimate expecting a $0.05 per share profit. Net sales slip 2.4% to $12.1 mln, also lagging analyst view by $690,000.

Less than two weeks after 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh singled out an emerging undrafted rookie, that player was waived to make room for more competition.
Raymond Ventrone, the latest 49ers acquisition, signed Monday with the 49ers to challenge for a spot as a core special-teams player. He is listed as a safety, but he played a combined 23 snaps on defense the past two seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He is not coming to the 49ers as a potential starter on defense.
Ventrone, 30, comes to the 49ers to compete with fellow safeties C.J. Spillman, Darcel McBath and others for a role on special teams. Ventrone was on the field for nearly 60 percent of the Browns' special-teams plays, and he has a history with 49ers special-teams coordinator Brad Seely.
The 49ers released tight end/fullback Jason Schepler to make room for Ventrone. On May 24 in an interview on 95.7 The Game, Harbaugh cited Schepler as a player whose tough-blocking and attitude put him on the radar screen.
But shortly after the 49ers signed Eric Mangini as an offensive consultant, the club added one of his former players to increase the competition within the roster. Schepler was out; Ventrone was in.
Typically, the 49ers hold the final three to five roster spots open for players with special-teams value. Of the eight players who played more than half of the 49ers' special-teams plays from last season, only starting fullback Bruce Miller is considered a lock to make the team.
Spillman has been the best special-teams player on the roster for a while, and his job should be secure. McBath, Anthony Dixon, Demarcus Dobbs and Tramaine Brock will compete for spots. Larry Grant and Tavares Gooden remain unsigned as a free agents.
It might not be a real sexy competition to watch, but Ventrone enters the mix to create even more options for those final, coveted roster spots. Teams must operate with a maximum of 90 players through the first cuts of training camp. Eventually, 47 (oops) 37 of the 90 players currently under contract will be released.
Kicker Phil Dawson and punter Andy Lee are among the locks to make the team. Interestingly, the 49ers brought in a lot of competition for long-snapper Brian Jennings, who has been considered one of the best in the business.
Not only did the 49ers sign undrafted rookie Kevin McDermott, whom Harbaugh called the best college long-snapper, the team also claimed Kyle Nelson off waivers from the San Diego Chargers. Nelson was with the 49ers last offseason, and they must have liked what they saw.

In fact, PKF hospitality research recently affirmed its strong forecast of RevPAR growth, projecting RevPAR for U.S. hotels will increase 6.6 in 2013, and 7.8% in 2014. As a result, we are very bullish on the upside potential of this lodging cycle.We believe this remains a very appealing time to invest in lodging stocks. We are still early in the cycle, perhaps about a third to a half of the way through, what we seek to be an extended period of growth.

William (Willy) Shuman, who was scheduled to begin basic training at the Air Force Academy this week and play tennis for the Falcons, passed away Saturday, June 20 in an automobile accident in his hometown of Charleston, W.V. Shuman, 19, recently graduated from George Washington High School and was the No. 1 ranked junior tennis player in the state of West Virginia.
"The Air Force Academy lost an outstanding officer candidate with the passing of Willy Shuman. Willy exemplified many of the wonderful aspects that are displayed by the current Air Force officers on active duty. He would have been a great asset to our tennis team, both on and off the court. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family during this very difficult time," said Air Force head tennis coach Rich Gugat.

hey hey if any 1 wants the rules and stats for Horus if ur thinkin of making him for a luna wolves army here they r.
Pts WS BS S T W I A Ld Sv
Horus 10 5 6 5 5 6 5 10 2+
Horus (also Lupercal) was one of the twenty Space Marine Primarchs, and of them, held the title First
Primarch and Warmaster, in the fictional He was the Commander-in-Chief
of the Luna Wolves/Sons of Horus Legion, the favoured son of the Emperor of Mankind, and the galaxy's
greatest traitor.
Holy Armour: Horus posseses one of the greatest suits of armour ever forged. Built on Terra and blessed by
the Emperor himself this suit of armour is a truly holy artefact. It is harder than the hull of a Land Raider
yet lighter than a feather to wear, it does not hamper movment in any way and self repairs the wearer.
This holy armour confers a 2+ reroleable armour save and a 3+ invunerable save. Also nothing can wound
Horus on less than a 3+. Any weapons that ignore invunerable saves have no effect.
Warmasters Hammer:The warmasters hammer is also expertly made and blessed by the Emperor. It
counts as a Power weapon but it ignores Invunerable saves. It also never needs more than a 3+ to wound
This has no effect against vehicles
Power fist: This works as a normal powerfist in all respects except that because of Horuses unmatched
skill (save the Emporer himself) it only confers a minus 2 to his initiative. Also Against tanks it gets an
extra dice for armour penetration.
Fearless: Horus will never fall back in battle but because of his awsome presence he does not have to
take armour saves for being outnumbered
Awsome presence: Horus counts his unit strength as 10
Son of the Emporer: Because of the uppermost respect a devotion all space marines hold for Horus they
will never fall back if Horus is taken in the army. Also if Horus dies all space marines will become frenzied
and will add plus 1 strengh and weapon skill to their profile but minus 1 toughness and balistic skill
