It's not the crying ones that bother me. It's the ones that kick the back of the chair. The parents of those children should be thrown off the plane...in mid flight.
An occasional crying child on an airplane isn't a problem. Its the ones who cry from the moment they get taken on the plane until they get taken off. Those parents are the same ones who's babies cry all evening in the restaurant or at the movies. They have this entitlement idea that it's all right for them to have a crying child because otherwise they would have to stay at home.
Sorry, I raised 4 kids to adulthood. If the child cries, there is no reason to make other people endure the imposition. We didn't go out much for a few years, until the children grew out of that stage.
Come on people, be considerate of your fellow man. Flying is bad enough with the TSA, small seats, cramped aisles, cattle roundup boarding. We shouldn't have to endure your child as well. Drive next time, so only you suffer, or better yet, stay home.
my response all depends on what the MILF looks like. Hot = I can deal with it, Not = get that kid a tranquilizer
Solution: get your own plane. I did. Haven't flown commercial since we went overseas in '96.
Srsly, some parents just let their precious snowflakes cry hoping it will pass. My grandkids were allowed to bawl until the point of rage. This is wrong.
Those parents coping with children who are hurting because of altitude barotitis (stopped up ears) are another story. See comment above that recommends sucking on a bottle or pacifier while ascending or descending.
Better idea altogether: do not fly with children who are too young to perform Valsalva maneuver on themselves.
With the right pair of headphones, you won't notice crying babies...just sayin.
I chose "other" b/c I don't fly. I have yet to go anywhere that would require a flight to get there (in other words, overseas).
It's a market opportunity. You know those Wet-Naps that moms are always wiping shmutz off their kid's faces with? Make some that are soaked with chloroform. Call 'em "Kid-Naps". I tell ya, this could be big!
When they start crying or acting up they should be relocated to the cockpit or seated by the flight attendants. I am sure the crew would do something about it at that point.

Oh heeeeeey I see what you did there.
they should sit in the front - aimed forward less people would be affected.
Couldn't airlines build a special section out on the wing... not so much for the kids but for the parents who don't even *try* to shush their wee ones - the ones with that sense of "entitlement" that others have mentioned.
It would be a win/win for the airlines because they'd have happier passengers and at the same time free up a few seats, AND they'd save on maintenance costs because the special section on the wing would serve as a deterrent to William fertilizer's (okay then, Captain Kirk's) Gremlin friend, should he come back to tear up the wing again. ;-)
Usually children are having anxiety when they are on an airplane, a feeling they don't cope well with. They really don't bother me unless they are wailing for over 10 minutes and are within 10 ft of me. But....what if the flight attendants were able to offer Benadryl to parents with small children? I know as a parent, I don't even like it when my kids were screaming, and if I could sooth them, I would!
How about the parents that let their kids kick and hang off the back of your seat? How about the airlines fine these irresponsible parents and use the money to lower fares?
Edit: My boyfriend (Chrisufo) was logged in and I didn't notice. Posted to the wrong account :x
I don't fly all that often, and to be honest, I'm not really sure if there were any crying babies/annoying children on the flight. I am afraid of flying was too focused on every movement of the plane to notice anything else. I was always just happy to make it to my destination alive.
^Just recently accidentally posted this on my boyfriends account. Decided to repost under mine so he didn't look like a sissy.
It all depends on why they are crying. Pain in the ears is the most obvious. I have traveled with my 2 boys about once a year for a few years now. My 11 year old is special needs, and when he gets really excited, he tends to kick the seat and I wind up holding his legs down in india style fashion to prevent this. (He loves to fly and loves airplanes!) My 3 year old has been a pretty good flyer/traveler so far. But as a baby, he did cry about half the trip, but I was able to manage to calm him usually by feeding him. As a toddler, he is like his brother and gets excited, but quickly falls asleep after take off. (Yay for me!) I know I am bit more lucky with my boys when traveling that they are easily entertained.
When it comes to Benadryl, you are not supposed to give it to a child under 4 yrs old. Some pediatricians are ok with small doses very infrequently, but it tells you right on the bottle not to give to child under 4.
"They and their parents should have to sit in the back."
Sounds and aweful lot like discrimination to me. If you don't like it, drive.
There is a major diff between a kid who is misbehaving and one who's ears are hurting due to changes in cabin pressure. Best thing to fix the second issue is to breastfeed them...but doing that on a plane might be another discussion. Parents are usually happy to be in the back of the plane...but it is more bumpy (for kids that get upset tummies) and if you board first and last you are on the plane an extra hour per flight, which can make anyone get restless.
all those tadpoles who are like "you don't know what it's like, so deal with it" need to think to themselves, whose fault is it for such a nightmarish scenario? I didn't choose to have a kid, you did. it's YOUR problem. I don't give a damn how hard it is having a kid, and you know why? because I don't have one and I'm a million times happier than you. Stop blaming me for your mistakes.
I say ban them all. Though I will settle for keeping them with the pets and other animals/storage

Not all discrimination is wrong. I've got 2 kids (which would likely be an irritant to other passengers). I'd sit in the back with them to save the other passengers.
And by the way, if you bring an irritant onto an airplane YOU should have to do your part to mitigate that, including sitting in the back or, if you KNOW it's going to be a major unfixable problem for several hours' flight, find another way. If you don't like it, YOU drive.
Never had a flight with a brat, only a baby that was inconsolable. Parents don't want their child to be "that" baby. It's usually not their fault; kids have their own minds and feelings. It's not pleasant for anyone, but it's not controllable.

Agreed. Though it would be more pleasant for everyone if the parents with crying children sit in the back. Less people around them to be irritated, and less irritated people giving you dirty looks. I'd take my kids to the back if they were inconsolable or otherwise a nuisance. Of course, that probably means I'm not part of the problem (you know, the "deal with it" crowd)

My favorite part of your arrogant, self-righteous post is where you declare that you are a MILLION times happier than me. I can't do some of the same things I used to enjoy before my son was born, like play violent video games and watch Pulp Fiction, very often, but I wouldn't trade anything in the world for my son. Raising a child is an amazing thing, and, in my opinion, a quintessential life experience. It's certainly your choice whether or not you have one, but you can't expect everyone to live like you do.
One of the great things that being a parent teaches you is how to put yourself in the shoes of others. To see the world through your child's eyes, to see what it's like to be a parent, to understand that everyone has got their own issues and life situation that impact them on a daily basis. You realize that it's not all about you, and in most ways, it's not EVER about you. It's a powerful life lesson, one that I think is worth learning.
Are there child sized parachutes?
Kids cry when bored, restrained for too long, bored, uncomfortable, bored, frustrated, bored ....... parents should plan ahead and bring enough to keep junior busy or at least give it a good try. Been on both sides.

As father of 8 who has traveled with as many as 6 and doped as many as 6 to keep em quiet and asleep (benadryl) on a flight at once, I can say to those with a problem with kids get over yer selves. Number seven doesn't get doped. it has the opposite affect on him. he becomes a raving lunatic at the age of three when giving anything that is supposed to have a sedative effect.
On I flight back from New Orleans I got seated next to a 6'4" 400 lb white guy who I don't think bathed the entire time he was in the French Quarter (or brushed his teeth for that matter). I have had seat kickers, "no titty" screamers, and aisle runners and the three combined don't compare to the stench rolling off of this "ADULT!" They ended up moving my wife to the only remaining seat on the plain so she would stop gagging and then they could move a seat between he and I. The rest of us go to continue gagging the rest of the flight.
I say if you don't like children to that extreme , perhaps it is you and your antisocial tendencies that should drive....alone. no need to be irritated by the kiddies then.
We travel alot. We've never had an issue of any sort (other than the bad reaction to benadryl), and it was handled well by all.

That feeling you're experiencing a million times more powerfully than I am, I'm not sure you have its name correct.
Legally, infants and toddlers are not allowed on airplanes, as they contain more than three ounces of goo. I'm waiting for the TSA to catch up with this.
ccfinney wrote:I have kids and I waited until they were old enough to understand and somewhat entertain themselves, age 3 and 4, to fly with them. I did not want to be glared at! Parents are the problem IMHO. Kids kicking the backs of seats are the worst. Then there was the couple who spent ten minutes changing their kid on the drop down trays behind our seats. The constant movement of the kid on the trays was annoying - not to mention - PEOPLE EAT ON THOSE TABLES!!!
My recently flew on a 4.5 hr flight with a 9 month old and I was 4 months pregnant on a plane with no changing table - sometimes you just gotta do what ya gotta do!
I like crying children. They reinforce my decision not to have children. They remind me that if I were to have any of my own I would not be able to just ignore them during the flight/meal/shopping trip, and wouldn't be able to just walk away from them afterwards.
I don't really mind crying kids, but have issues with the ones that kick the chairs, throw stuff, etc. and the parents do absolutely nothing to stop it. There are several occasions where I've come close to committing federal crimes because of uncontrolled kids.
I just wish they had a separate compartment.
Children should be checked like luggage
The tolerant person finds intolerance the hardest thing to tolerate.
Place all the crying babies in a soundproof room and pump out the air until they stop crying.
You know the fat guy that gets the middle seat, sweats like a linebacker and smells like he sprinkled a little too much garlic on his Wheaties for breakfast? Yeah, the one that wants to talk about the 7-Eleven manager's conference he's speaking at. That's him. He bugs me waaaaaaaay more than a decibel-belching little rugrat.
I think it all boils down to how hard parents try to be courteous.
Parents trying to soothe their crying babies get my sympathy. Parents who let their kids cry it out don't. Unlike a grocery store or a subway, we really can't get off the plane to avoid your crying baby, so I really appreciate it when you care enough about your neighbors to at least try. Discouraging people who dislike the sound of kids crying, or bratty kids, from flying will just lead to airlines making it harder for kids to fly. Think about where airlines get the most revenue.
Once the kid is over 4 years old, all sympathy dies. I started making 13+ hour flights (counting connections, I would often be in airports and on planes for over 24 hours) exactly at that age. I know exactly how painful it is to be a kid and want to move around but have to sit still and entertain myself (and this was before every chair had a personal T.V.). But, thanks to my parents teaching me respect and discipline, my only real faults as a kid were my hourly trips to the restroom and talking a bit too much. Once a kid can talk, it's the parent's responsibility to keep them entertained or teach them to respect other people's right to sleep and relax. And I want to say, thanks to all those amazing parents out there who succeed and kudos for raising such polite and considerate kids!
Helloooo, can you say single malt and an Ipod.

Governor Robert Bentley on Friday issued the following statement regarding Congressional approval of the RESTORE Act -- a measure that will help Gulf States continue the long-term recovery from the effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster.
"We are excited to see that Congress has passed this measure. This will enable funding from the Clean Water Act fines and penalties to be distributed and spent in the Gulf states most directly impacted by the devastating oil spill," Governor Bentley said. "This will be a major help in seeking to revitalize an area that's been impacted environmentally and economically. I want to thank Alabama's Congressional delegation for support of this measure. We greatly appreciate their work in a cooperative manner to help the people of this state. The efforts of our delegation, and other delegations from coastal states, were vital to successful passage of the RESTORE Act."
Funds from the RESTORE Act will go toward environmental recovery along with economic development and job training initiatives that will assist Alabama in its long-term recovery from the spill. Funding will be spent for the benefit of counties primarily impacted by the spill. That results in a benefit for the rest of the state as well. The RESTORE Act is now awaiting the President's signature.

Dirty Queer Magazine is a curated photography, art and culture magazine, published in Australia for a queer audience.
From issue 4 we opened up the magazine to a broader range of contributors, and we will continue to do so.
We regularly receive content that we can't consider because it's not suitable for the magazine. Please review the guidelines below to give your work the best chance of inclusion.
Our Philosophy
Dirty Queer is designed for coffee table, or bedside cabinet, reading. We're focused primarily on visual arts.
We usually come out just once or twice a year, so we're not a news magazine.
We have a broad queer audience. We're inclusive, including of trans, intersex and bisexual people. While we welcome content that's designed for just gay men or lesbians, for example, content should always be respectful and considerate of others.
The magazine is hot, sexy and fun. We want to be excited by what we see or read. We're interested in the queer human condition. We're not didactic or preachy.
Pick up a copy of the magazine if you're in any doubt regarding what we're about.
What kinds of contributions?
Text with images:
Feature articles can be around 2,000 words, or sometimes more, plus photography or illustrations (or concepts for accompanying artwork).
Shorter articles are welcome, but should also be accompanied by relevant images.
Written content should be in English (we publish using Australian English).
Sorry, but no poetry.
Photo essays are very welcome. Illustrations and other original art are also welcome.
We welcome nudity, and we like a background story.
We're a print magazine, so images for publication must be high resolution, suitable for printing at 300 DPI on A5 pages with 3mm bleed (maximum needed A4, minimum A6). We only need low resolution images to review submissions.
Images should be accompanied by full credits and consent for use. High resolution photographs of people, other than self portraits, should normally be accompanied by a model release form.
All photographic subjects must be aged over 18 years.
General guidelines
We can only accept original content.
Although we're Australian, we welcome content from anywhere in the world.
Consider contacting us early, at the concept or idea stage.
Please provide full contact information with your submission.
We reserve the right to edit successful submissions to conform to our style guide or to fit available space.
These guidelines will be updated periodically. It is worth reviewing them again immediately prior to submission.
Next issue
The next issue, #7, is likely to be published in late 2015, with a submissions deadline in early 2015. Early submissions are welcome.
Submit via email – low res images only
We can be contacted at firstname.lastname@example.com. We prefer low res images via email (we prefer high resolution shots via Dropbox or similar methods).

Market marches on, terror or no terror
Page Tools
The sharemarket should continue its record-breaking ascent this week after a sharp fall in oil prices over the weekend, ahead of Wednesday's OPEC meeting, soothed recession-wary investors around the globe.
Still benefiting from a bumper profit season, the market closed at another high on Friday, for the second session in a row, with the benchmark ASX 200 index at 3596, after hitting 3608.2 - 6.2 points above the previous best.
The All Ordinaries also hit a fresh record of 3613.8 before closing at 3602.5.
The string of index highs will stoke speculation of a pull-back but further rallies are expected today following solid gains on Wall Street on Friday.
Investors there were inspired by an almost $US2 a barrel drop in crude oil futures, sparking a late rally in blue-chip stocks.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 23.97 points higher at 10,313.07.
The S&P 500 index was up 5.54 at 1123.92 and the Nasdaq Composite rose 24.66 points, or 1.32 per cent, to 1894.31.
Sky-high oil prices have dominated the economic landscape in the past few months, with Middle Eastern terrorism and Russian shortages keeping the vital resource above $US40 a barrel.
Investors will be keen to hear any news from the OPEC meeting in Vienna on Wednesday.
The oil producers' cartel is expected to raise its $US22 to $US28 a barrel oil price target to $US30, which is of limited relevance considering prices have been at least $US10 above that mark for some time.
AMP Capital Investors' chief economist, Dr Shane Oliver, said Australia's recent profit reporting season had laid the platform for further gains by the sharemarket.
"Stronger than expected profit growth has meant that our year-end target of 3600 for both the All Ordinaries and ASX 200 will prove too conservative - 3650 is now more likely," he said.
The start of the week will be light on domestic economic indicators and company news but local investors will have an eye on full-year financial results. Australia's third largest supermarket chain, Foodland, will report its results today and ASX newcomer, rag trader Just Group, on Wednesday.
In contrast, there will be a deluge of economic figures in the US, including August retail sales and second quarter current account numbers tomorrow and August industrial production and inflation data on Wednesday.
Also, economists expect the US Federal Reserve to raise interest rates a further 25 basis points to 1.75 per cent next week.
In Asia, investors were unfazed by the Jakarta bombing. The Morgan Stanley Capital international Asia-Pacific Index, advanced 1.4 per cent to 89.70; the week's close was the highest since the week ended July 16.
Share prices rose in Asia, including Indonesia, where the market rebounded from a slide immediately after the bombing. Japan lagged the regional rise as the Government unexpectedly lowered an estimate of second-quarter economic growth.
The New Zealand dollar gained for the first week in three after the central bank raised the official cash rate target a quarter point to 6.25 per cent.

It turns out the Nuggets got a pretty good deal when they traded Allen Iverson for Chauncey Billups. Denver is now 4-1 with their new point guard after he finished with 18 points and seven assists in a 94-85 win over the Celtics.
Ray Allen led the Celtics with 26 points in the loss that snapped the team's six-game win streak. Allen sunk five of his three-point attempts and added six rebounds, four assists, and two steals. He carried the offensive load for much of the first part of the game, but it was not enough as the Celtics lost their first home game of the season.
Rajon Rondo was pretty bad offensively, shooting just 1-8 from the field with two points, but came up huge in other facets of the game. Rondo finished with seven assits and seven steals to go against just one turnover. For what he didn't provide offensively, he sure made up for it defensively.
It also hurt that the Celtics got such little production from their usually strong bench. Besides Eddie House (13 points on 5-11 shooting), the bench contributed three total points. Glen "Big Baby" Davis, Leon Powe, and Tony Allen combined to go 0-8 from the field with two points.
In fact, if you analyze the +/- numbers for the game, you'll find that the second unit for the Celtics was inferior on this night. Powe, House, and Davis all contributed +/- ratings of at least -16. Thus, for example, when Leon Powe was on the floor, the Celtics were outscored by 16 points. That's not a good stat…
Carmelo Anthony added 18 points and 13 rebounds for the Nuggets, who improved to 5-4 on the year.
Next up for the Celtics is a matchup against the Bucks in Milwaukee tomorrow night.

Next month, Reading is Fundamental (RIF) will be celebrating Maurice Sendak's controversial classic, Where the Wild Things Are.
A couple of years back I wrote an article on how I got my start illustrating role-playing games for Jon Schindehette's The Art Order. Jon is the Senior Creative Art Director for Dungeons & Dragons and an amazing mentor. His site is loaded with numerous articles and topics aimed at the aspiring fantasy illustrator. I seriously wish a resource like this was around back in 1992 when this art school student graduated. Instead, I decided to listen to the advice of some friends and chase a crazy dream… Read more
Every once in awhile an artistic opportunity comes my way that I cannot pass up. Fortunately, this winter I have been presented with two unique and stellar projects that I simply had to do despite my looming WondLa 3 deadlines.
As I mentioned in an earlier post, I've been busy these last couple of of months rendering new artwork to adorn the dustjackets of the 10-year anniversary of The Spiderwick Chronicles. Early next year, Simon & Schuster will unveil the new jackets, along with news about the re-release of the original five chapter books.

Quake magnitude 5.8 strikes in Mozambique: USGS
ISTANBUL, An earthquake measuring 5.8 magnitude struck 60 kilometers (37.28 miles) northwest the Mozambique city of BEIRA, the United States Geological Survey said on Saturday.
NEW YORK Environmental groups sued New Jersey on Wednesday for Governor Chris Christie's decision to pull the state out of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, a 10-state compact that aims to cut air pollution from power plants.
Last May, Christie declared the compact, known as RGGI and pronounced "Reggie," was an ineffective way of reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and announced the state would withdraw.
In a lawsuit filed in Trenton's Superior Court, Appellate Division, the Natural Resources Defense Council and Environment New Jersey said that decision was illegal because state law required the Christie administration to notify the public of its intention and to provide a meaningful public comment period.
"Governor Christie unilaterally made his decision to leave RGGI - without taking any input from stakeholders or the public," said Matt Elliott of Environment New Jersey. "As we contend today, his actions are not only bad public policy, but also illegal."
A spokesman for Christie, Michael Drewniak, called RGGI "a failed public policy that taxed businesses and residents and left New Jersey at a competitive disadvantage."
"There was nothing illegal about our withdrawal from RGGI," Drewniak said in a statement. "Participation in the RGGI consortium was via a contractual arrangement with provisions for any state to pull out with notice and without penalty."
RGGI, which includes New England and Mid-Atlantic states, established limits on carbon dioxide emissions, thought to be a key factor in global warming.
Under the plan, states agreed to cap and then reduce carbon dioxide pollution by 10 percent by 2018. The scheme also provides technical support for states that auction carbon credits to electric power plants.
New Jersey's Democrat-controlled state legislature voted earlier this year to continue New Jersey participating in RGGI. Last year, Christie, a Republican, vetoed a similar measure.

... You want to bin your data into particular intervals.
The easiest way is using BinLists. First, generate some data
data = RandomReal[{0, 100}, 500];
... And bin them
datab = BinLists[data, 10];
If you only want to count the number of samples in a particular bin (ie for
a histogram), you can use BinCounts or you can Map[] the function Length[]

"I had learned the tonic sol-fa notation by heart before I was twenty," he added.
In tonic sol-fa all keys are equally available from the first.
Dr. Creser was first led to use tonic sol-fa by noticing how easy it made the minor mode.
In the tonic sol-fa method great stress is laid upon the mental effect of each note of the scale, altogether apart from pitch.
He must enquire into his theoretical knowledge, if any, and ask if he has had a tonic sol-fa or any other systematic training.
He was a firm friend of the tonic sol-fa system, and took the matriculation certificate.
Then they all learned songs together from tonic sol-fa, singing in a circle round the fire.
The upper grade all held a tonic sol-fa certificate, and they received higher pay than the lower grade.
Miss Glover was the author of the sol-fa notation, from which sprang the tonic sol-fa system.
I pay great attention to 'mental effect,' and endeavour to let each boy or girl have a tonic sol-fa copy of the music.

Deletion of 8p: A report of a child with normal intelligence
Gilmore, Linda, Cuskelly, Monica, Jobling, Anne, & Smith, Sali (2001) Deletion of 8p: A report of a child with normal intelligence. Developmental Medicine and Child Neurology, 43(12), pp. 843-846.
|PDF (27kB)
The case is presented of a female infant with a distal deletion of 8p (8p23.1 --> pter) whose development was monitored over a 5-year period from 12 months of age. Although previous literature has suggested that Sp deletion is associated with mild to moderate intellectual disability, the child reported here has normal intelligence. Despite initial delays in gross motor and language skills, cognitive development (assessed with the Bayley Scales of Infant Development) and intellectual ability (measured on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale) were within average range. It is argued that the small number of previous case reports may have created a misleading impression of intellectual development in individuals with distal deletions of 8p.

Hey folks,
Still new here, but I was wondering… How does one go about getting their music included in others' public collections? Do I need to send a private message to the collection owner to ask approval of specific tracks? Or, will that just annoy them?
Cheers, Neil
It depends, if it's a public collection featured on the home page then definitely email the creator to consider some of your tracks if they are appropriate, but if it's just a random authors collection then it's probably not worth the hassle. Hope this helps.
Cool thanks. Yeah, just for clarification, I meant the ones that typically cycle through on the homepage.

Julio Bozano, Rio's Peerless Bargain Hunter
He's a kind of Warren Buffett South. From elegant headquarters in downtown Rio de Janeiro, Julio Bozano presides over a sprawling empire, ranging from a leading investment bank to shopping malls and a coffee plantation about the size of Connecticut. The 60-year-old billionaire is chairman and chief shareholder of Companhia Bozano, Simonsen. While his conglomerate currently numbers 30 companies, Bozano is on a buying and selling spree, taking stakes in floundering companies and turning them around for sale at fat profits.
Among corporate bargain-hunters, Bozano has few peers. In the past five years, the soft-spoken, silver-haired executive has led groups that bought and, with stunning speed, revived a half-dozen state companies. This year, Bozano Simonsen, which has assets of more than $6 billion, cashed in its stakes in steelmakers Usiminas and Siderurgica de Tuberao and electric utility Escelsa for a combined capital gain of $428 million (table). It is on the verge of turning planemaker Embraer, which it bought with pension-fund partners in December, 1994, into a money-maker. And it is now weighing bids on other state-run businesses that Brazil plans to privatize, from railroads to mines.
But Bozano isn't much interested in what his companies produce and sell. "We just try to increase the value of our investments," he says, seated at a conference table surrounded by his collection of contemporary Brazilian paintings. "A company's attractiveness depends on its price, not its sector."
Bozano is an exemplar of a breed of aggressive Brazilian investors unleashed by President Fernando Henrique Cardoso's anti-inflationary Real Plan, which has forced restructuring in both the state and private sectors. Flush with cash from sales this year of long-held mining businesses as well as turnaround ventures, Bozano Simonsen could go for a piece of Brazil's biggest privatization prize: mining giant Vale do Rio Doce (CVRD), which the government plans to start selling off next year. When asked about CVRD, Bozano's weathered face lights up. Removing a Barclay cigarette from his lips and smiling broadly, he says: "We're interested in any privatization."
Bozano's recipe for success in such ventures is simple. Buy a company that generates plenty of cash but spends too much and is overstaffed. Install an executive with broad experience in the sector to apply the Bozano strategy. Trim every layer of personnel, tighten purchasing, and find out what your customers want. Then, when the biggest gains have been made, get out. Bozano Simonsen is comparable to such investment groups as Warren Buffett's in the U.S., says 42-year-old Paulo Ferraz, a Harvard University MBA who is CEO of the group's financial flagship, Banco Bozano, Simonsen. "I think Buffett is like us in that it doesn't matter if it's diamonds, retail, or Coca-Cola, as long as he's creating value," he says.
Bozano Simonsen's most radical makeover was at Tuberao, which it took over with partners in 1992. By the time Bozano Simonsen sold its 33% stake last April, it had reaped a 110% annual return on investment, including a $327 million capital gain, plus dividends. Although Bozano Simonsen usually doesn't take majority stakes, it insists on a major decision-making role in companies it buys into. In Usiminas, although it bought just 4.5% of the shares, Julio Bozano headed its board.
OLD SHIPMATES. The tycoon behind such lucrative turnarounds is an intensely private man who spends his spare time breeding horses in Argentina and Florida and adding to his art collection. He won't say how much he's worth, but maintains that media reports putting his fortune at $2.5 billion are inflated.
Bozano formed a financial-services company in 1961 with Mario Henrique Simonsen, who later became Finance Minister. They had met while taking compulsory navy training. Today, Bozano owns 91% of the group's voting shares, while Simonsen, who left management to Bozano, has about 5%.
Currently, Bozano Simonsen is overhauling Rio de Janeiro state bank Banerj in preparation for its sale on Dec. 17. Under a contract it won last December, Bozano is collecting a $36 million fee linked to its success in revamping Banerj plus a 5% cut of the auction price, set at a minimum $465 million.
After its experience with Banerj, Bozano Simonsen would be an obvious candidate to turn around other big losers such as Sao Paulo's state bank, which will likely have to be overhauled before it is put up on the auctioning block. But will Bozano Simonsen bid? You can almost count on it, if the price is right.

Legislature could raid Sno-Park funds from snowmobilers, nordic skiers
WINTER SPORTS -- The Washington Legislature is toying with proposals that could divert dedicated gas-tax funds from established and popular Sno-Park programs. These are the programs, such as those at Mount Spokane, that plow parking areas and groom trails for snowmobiling, cross-country skiers, snowshoers and other winter recreation.
Some recreation groups say there's nothing to fear from the proposals, but the issues should be carefully followed.
See the latest on what some contend is an attempt to raid an important winter recreation component of the state's economy in this story by Scott Sandsberry of the Yakima Herald-Republic.
By SCOTT SANDSBERRY
Winter recreationists have gotten wind of what they think are some budget shenanigans that they say could make snowmobiling and cross-country skiing a lot less desirable in the state.
As with almost everything in Olympia these days, it's about the gaping, $1.5 billion budget deficit. And recreationists worry their dedicated funding stream is about to be diverted into plugging other budget holes.
There's some history to support their fears.
In 2009, after the Legislature "swept," or removed, $9.5 million from a dedicated fund of off-road vehicle gas tax revenue into the general fund, an off-road vehicle group sued the state and lost.
The state won again on appeal, in a two-to-one split decision.
Now the Washington Off Highway Vehicle Alliance is ready to take the issue to the Washington Supreme Court if the budget process again takes money from the Nonhighway and Offroad Vehicle Activities (NOVA) for general-fund purposes.
This time, though, the alliance might just have allies — if, as many expect, the legislators crafting the budget rake into it not just the nonhighway and off-road vehicle funds but also the state's marine fuel tax account and, for the first time, the money that supports the state's winter recreation program.
"It's not a done deal yet, but we heard about it last Wednesday," said Dan Fallstrom, legislative chairman for the Washington State Snowmobile Association. "(People supporting) the snowmobile, NOVA and marine accounts all have to be proactive."
Fallstrom said he heard from one legislator the sweeps would be in the budget and from another who said they wouldn't. Rep. Ross Hunter, D-Medina, chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, said it's premature even to have that conversation.
"The House has not released a budget. The Senate has not released a budget. So nobody can tell you what's in or what's not in the budget at this time, and I'm not going to," Hunter said. "We haven't made any decisions."
Told that representatives of off-road, snowmobile and boating groups believe their dedicated accounts are on the chopping block, Hunter said, "There is no basis for them to believe that. They could be afraid of it. (Those funds) have been swept in the past."
Rep. Charles Ross, R-Naches, a member of the House Ways and Means Committee, said House Republicans "have been battling against sweeping (recreation) accounts from day one."
Democrats have a 56-42 majority in the House, though, and Ross said he expects the Democrats' proposed operating budget to remove those recreation funds. He said House Republicans' "comparative budget" would leave them in place.
"When you create an account that's supposed to serve a specific purpose and then take it to use for another purpose, all that does is erode trust in governmental office and in the government," Ross said. "And I hate to see that."
The dedicated snowmobile fund, which typically runs between $2.1 and $2.6 million, receives nothing from the general fund and runs entirely on snowmobile registrations and a percentage of the gas tax. Each year's trail-grooming and Sno-Park expenses (including lot-clearing and sanitation) are paid with funds accrued over the previous season.
Without that fund, said Pamela McConkey, who manages the Washington State Parks Winter Recreation Program, the program would have to run based on projected revenue for the current season, which is risky.
If revenue came in lower than projected, "We would have to cut off a contract," McConkey said — meaning snowmobilers couldn't count on groomed trails, snow-cleared, sanitation-friendly Sno-Parks.
"If you take our snowmobile funds, you effectively shut us down," said state snowmobile association spokesman Matt Mead. "If you take our money, we don't have a place to park, let alone get out on the trails. So it's severe for us.
"We're also making the case that we put a lot of money into the state's economy through tax revenues. The money they take, for them it's going to look like a pittance to what we're not going to be putting into the system. Nobody's buying gas, nobody's staying in hotels and eating in restaurants. If we can't go snowmobiling, a lot of people are just going to stay home."
And it won't be just snowmobilers if, as McConkey believes, the fund supporting the nonmotorized Sno-Parks used by cross-country skiers and snowshoers are at risk.
"My assumption is (legislators) would sweep both programs, the snowmobile program and the nonmotorized program, which is also self-supported," McConkey said.
The other dedicated fund that may be in the budget-makers' crosshairs is the Boating Facilities Program, administered by the state's Recreation and Conservation Office. The fund typically has $8 million or more that are split between marine-related state agency projects and city, county and port projects.
"It had never been swept until 2009, and obviously we complained wildly about that," said Doug Levy, state lobbyist for the Recreational Boating Association of Washington and its 30,000-plus boaters.
"We're obviously on guard against it being swept in this budget. This is the month of the rumor, because a lot of rumors are swirling around the capital. I think the good news is there are a lot of legislators ... (who) don't think it's a good idea to be willy-nilly shifting money from dedicated funds into other areas, who think that's a very unsustainable way of doing budgeting."
Until the budget actually becomes public, no one knows if the recreation money will even be moved into the general budget. But Tod Petersen, political action committee chairman for the Washington Off Highway Vehicle Alliance, said the state's victory in the 2009 court case over that year's funds sweep make the prospect much more likely.
"That's one mindset that's out there: The Legislature has seen that it got away with it (and) they feel like they can get away with it again," Petersen said. "We have an appeal in for the State Supreme Court; the attorney general's response to that is, because the Legislature didn't take our money in 2011, it's not an issue.
"Well, if they take it in 2012, that removes the attorney general's case that the case is moot."
Fallstrom, the snowmobilers' legislative chair, found a bit of irony in the current plight of the state's recreation funding. Just last fall, Gov. Chris Gregoire, as chairwoman of the Western Governors' Association, unveiled its "Get Out West" program for the "growing the tourism and recreation economies in the West."
The governors' association is scheduled to have its annual meeting June 9-12 in Cle Elum — a community heavily dependent on snowmobiling, skiing and other recreation-related tourism.
"It would be awful embarrassing for the governor," Fallstrom said, "if our recreational accounts were swept and there were pickets out there (at the Cle Elum meeting) complaining that this state's recreational opportunities are going into the tank."
Or, perhaps, to other western states.
"If you take our money and we have no recreation this year, who in their right mind would register a snowmobile next year? That's what's going to happen. A lot of people aren't going to bother," said Mead, the state snowmobile spokesman.
"Personally, if we lose the money, I'm going to register in Oregon."

Does anyone know Walmarts actual policy on selling ammo? We are in NH, my 18 year old son has a CCW (age restriction of 21 dropped in NH) We seem to
get a different situation each time at Walmart. Yesterday he went in to buy shotgun ammo, he was refused as he was not 21, was told it was state law. It's not and he knew it and told the guy that. Before it has varied from no questions, to asking for lic to prove he was over 18, to asking for his CCW. At that
one he looked at the lady and said I'm buying shotgun ammo, not for my .45
I was refused shotgun ammo at a Walmart about 2 years ago "because your female". I hit the roof and they had store manager, assistant manager there really quickly. I got my ammo, and they got a letter that if it happened again I would be suing for discrimination!

text: CHICAGO, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Benevolent ( www.benevolent.net) – the nonprofit, tech startup connecting donors and individuals in need – has successfully created an online platform that uses the power of people telling their personal stories to connect with and motivate giving by small-dollar donors ( $5 or more). Donors contribute directly to help one person overcome one challenge. Prospective donors can read and select from an increasing number of brief and compelling personal stories, accompanied by photos and videos. Founded in Dec. 2011 and based in Evanston, Ill., Benevolent partners with local nonprofits throughout the country who know and validate those facing needs so that donors can be assured that their support is well targeted and well managed. "Giving through Benevolent is very different and so much more personal than through other donating experiences," explains Benevolent Founder and CEO Megan Kashner. "Benevolent enables recipients to tell their own stories, and share their updates after their needs are meet – including thanking their donor(s). "During this consumption-driven holiday season, people can fund a recipient's need in someone else's name as a gift. What a tremendous way to give a unique gift to people who don't need another physical item to worry about returning," Kashner concluded. Prior to launching Benevolent, Kashner was an executive director of the Taproot Foundation. Benevolent was born from her vision of a new, more personal and direct form of crowd-source giving that could greatly impact and benefit donors, recipients, nonprofits and society. Kashner earned a master of social work degree (MSW) from the University of Chicago and an MBA from Northwestern University. She spoke about philanthropy at the White House in September. Philanthropic experts praising Benevolent: Mari Kuraishi, co-founder and president of GlobalGiving: "What Benevolent is facilitating – a direct connection between the helper and the helped – has the potential for transforming the experience of philanthropy. A transformative philanthropic experience, in turn, could start a ripple effect of change throughout the nonprofit sector and beyond." Scott Allard, poverty researcher and author, and associate professor at the University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration: "Benevolent helps to weave a connective web of people to fill in critical gaps in the safety net. I think Benevolent has the potential to transform how we think about philanthropy, as well as challenge misconceptions about poverty and need in America." Benevolent enables donors to identify potential recipients by type of need, the nonprofit partner recommending them on the site, and location (based on their recommending partner).

Frequent Flier: Actor Robert Merrill
1- Could you estimate how many flights you take per year? What's your most frequent route?
At the height of my traveling, about 50 or so flights a year. It was probably NYC to London [that I traveled the most frequently]. I did NYC to Miami quite a bit also.
2- Do you have a favorite airline right now?
For domestic, I enjoy American Airlines because I was platinum and I got upgraded quite a bit. I hear that Virgin USA is a really good airline. As far as international; I flew a lot of British Airways and Virgin Atlantic. I got bumped up a lot to business.
3- Which airline has the best food/beverage service?
I'd say more international airlines — British Airways, Air France.
4- On which airline have you had the worst experience?
Over the years it's been United and USAir. Those have been horrible.
5- How do you prepare for or deal with a red-eye flight?
I bring some Ambien and I drink some red wine. I've always gone against the whole, "don't drink on a flight, drink plenty of water," thing. But I always try to avoid red-eyes.
6- What's the best airport to be stuck at for a long layover?
I love Heathrow. It's huge, and they've got everything you could ever want as far as international shopping, great lounges and restaurants. I'd say domestically, San Diego, because it's right in town near the beaches. If you have a long layover you can just jump in a cab and head to the beach.
7- Since checking baggage is increasingly inconvenient, how do you maximize your packing to fit into a carry-on?
If you're going somewhere where it's cold and you need sweaters and stuff, I tend to wrap a sweater around my waist. I'll wear boots instead of packing them. I'll wear a coat and then use it as a pillow. To me the biggest bulk is shoes. You want to basically wear the biggest shoes you have.
8- What type of carry-on bag do you use (brand/make)?
I use this one, it's a Brookstone, and it's got the wheels on it. It's got a ton of pockets, it can expand, it can be smaller — but I don't know the exact model name.

After he was arrested, Worthington -- who will turn 21 on August 10 -- was transported to the OSU police department for processing and then released with a summons for court, according to the report.
A 6-7, 276-pound tackle who started 11 games for the Buckeyes in 2007, Worthington is listed as one of the team's starting defensive tackles in the most recent depth chart.
Worthington met with OSU head coach Jim Tressel on Sunday evening but nothing final has been decided yet. Tressel is out of the office today, and a university spokesperson said there is no timetable for any actions moving forward.
The future for Worthington remains uncertain. He could have a hearing in front of a faculty and student panel, which could decide whether or not he is suspended from school. This marks the first time Worthington, a native of New York, has been in trouble with the law in Columbus. He likely faces at worst a demotion on the depth chart, where senior Nader Abdallah is listed as his primary backup.
He is the second Buckeye to run afoul of the law in the last month. Defensive back Eugene Clifford was arrested in early July for allegedly punching two people at a bar and has since transferred to Tennessee State.

Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Mr. Joe Zola of Foreclosure Freedom USA, Inc., promised that he would help me with my mortgage payments by obtaining a hardship deferrment and a reduction in both the household mortgage payments and the 10% mortgage interest rate. I paid him, not his firm, a one month mortgage payment in advance, to represent me with the note holder of my mortgage. Following this first transaction his firm had a transfer of location with no forwarding address and the firms phone number and fax number were disconnected I was eventually contacted by Mr. Zola who gave me the firms new phone number, fax number and address. The change I was told, was due to water damage. Hoping for the best, I continued to allow them to handle my account. Over the intervening period from August to the present time, this firm has been sent two additional mortgage payments which were to be paid to the mortgage note holder and a special payment for re-opening negotiations for an additional hardship review. I have recieved no communications from this firm by e-mail, phone or regular mail since the last week in October when I wired them the last mortgage payment. At the present time, the firms phones' voice mail is not opened or the phones are listed as disconnected. The fax shows undelivered and the e-mails are returned with "no such address". I am in the process of having my banker hold discussions with the mortgage note holder to find what if anything, this firm has accomplished in my behalf besides misrepresent themselves while taking funds under false pretenses.

The Inside of Bodies, at Home in Times Square
An exhibit that probes the wonders of the human body is moving into a permanent home in Times Square.
"Body Worlds: Pulse" is an exhibit of preserved human bodies with skin and muscles selectively peeled back to display body systems. It's been on display at Discovery Times Square for nearly a year but is now moving to a permanent wing of the museum.
Doctor Angelina Whalley is the show's creative designer. "I always felt that the human body is a treasure," she said on a recent tour of the museum. Exhibits were still being set up, and the sound of drilling and hydraulic motors filled the air. A few feet away, a technician meticulously painted glue over a tiny tear in a lung. "I always felt that it's a privilege to be able to open that body and see what it's like and discover all the tissue and organs."
The exhibit was designed with New York in mind, and features preserved cadavers posed in dynamic stances. Whalley said in the first Body World exhibit in 1995, the bodies were posed straight upright, "almost like an anatomical model." But that changed in response to criticism. "People complained [that] they look so dead!"
Now they take their cues from anatomy drawings from the Renaissance, where the bodies are posed as though in movement.
The cadavers are donated, and prepared in laboratory in Gubin, Germany by a team of around 50 dissectors. These days, Whalley said, a good dissector is hard to find, because the study of anatomy has fallen out of vogue among medical schools.
"There's so many new things that a student has to learn within a limited period of time,' she explained. "Because of that there are not so many well-trained dissectors in the world."
The Manhattan exhibit focuses on the effect of fast-paced living and offers a not-so-subtle lesson about the importance of caring for one's health.
Whalley said she hopes the design will prompt viewers to consider their own insides.
"The body is actually a result of our lifestyles," she said. "Whatever we do to it it matters."

Men may turn on like a light, yet for ladies, excitement doesn't happen so quick. Make ready amid the day by embracing, kissing, and clasping hands. Have some good times together, and show you value her.
Feeling protected and secure in the relationship is key for a lady to let free truly amid sex, Kerner says. A long embrace can go more distant than you'd suspect.
Don't Always Stick to Your Plan
Try not to feel that on the off chance that it worked the initial three times; it will work the following three times. What turns her on may rely on upon her state of mind, and where she is in her month to month cycle. Maybe her areolas are more delicate, or her private parts are less tingly.
Pay consideration on your accomplice. Attempt distinctive things and perceive how she reacts.
When you find something that works, wait on it. Ladies regularly whine that men proceed onward to the following thing pretty much as they truly begin a movement.
Try not to Assume You Know What She Wants
Numerous ladies fake climaxes. You may not comprehend what a lady feels.
Try not to be hesitant to make inquiries like "Do you need something else?" or "How can this vibe?"
At the end of the day, request headings.
Keeping It Physical Only is a Mistake
Extend your concept of foreplay. A few men concentrate on physical incitement and frequently disregard mental incitement.
While men get mixed up by what they see, ladies fantasize a considerable measure amid sex as a component of the procedure of excitement. You can participate and share a dream or a hot memory.
Try not to Skip the Seduction
Ladies like to be tempted. The temptation is as essential as, or now and again more imperative than, method.
It realizes what sort of turn-on your accomplice likes, whether it's oral, visual, or mental, she says. Tell a lady how attractive she is.
Try not to Expect Intercourse to Give Her an Orgasm
For 80% of ladies, intercourse alone won't do the trap. Most sex positions don't straightforwardly invigorate the clitoris.
There are different approaches to delight her. Ladies climax significantly more reliably from oral sex than from intercourse. Likewise, attempt sex with the lady on top, or a vibrator made for couples to use amid sex.
To help her hit the high note when you do engage in sexual relations, require some investment to make them go before you make your passageway. The nearer ladies are the point at which they begin intercourse, the more probable they are to have a climax.
If you are not able to complete sexual intercourse due lack of erection you can try medications like Generic Viagra which is easily accessible through leading online pharmacies.

Ballroom show to hit Broadway amid dance popularity
By Michelle Nichols
NEW YORK (Reuters) - After performing in more than 30 countries, ballroom dance company "Burn The Floor" debuts on Broadway on Sunday with producers saying the time -- and the timing -- is right.
Reality TV dance competition shows such as "Dancing with the Stars," "So You Think You Can Dance" and "America's Best Dance Crew" and movies such as "Step Up" are watched by millions and dance schools have seen an increase in students.
"Maybe 10 years ago (ballroom dancing) didn't have much street cred," said Jason Gilkison, who started with "Burn The Floor" as a dancer when it was founded in London in 1999. He is now the company's choreographer and director.
"But now to see your favorite celebrity do it on TV you can go out and learn swing and salsa. All of a sudden everyone seems to be dancing," he said. "When we first started the show 10 years ago it was the blue rinse set and now when we were in Japan last time it was screaming teenagers."
"Burn The Floor" producer and founder Harley Medcalf and Carrie Ann Inaba, also a producer of the Broadway show and a judge on "Dancing with the Stars," both said "the time is right" for a ballroom dancing production on Broadway.
"If you said to someone a couple of years ago 'What's the Paso Doble?' they would have been like 'what?'" said Medcalf, referring to a dance style modeled on a Spanish bullfight. "But now through the reality TV shows everyone is educated and they can see the dimension and the meaning (of dance)."
The program for "Burn The Floor," which will perform an initial three-month run on Broadway, also explains the different styles of dance performed in the show.
"What America and the world is learning when you watch great choreography and great dancers perform great choreography it's just beautiful," said Inaba. Continued...

Nice small tight ultra reliable H&K P2000SK 9MM w/10rds at 3:30 IWB everywhere I go these days and a nice small extra mag in the cargo pocket. Nobody has a clue...except all of you
This is a discussion on Extra Mags vs Extra Capacity within the Defensive Carry Guns forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I think this is an interesting question. Would you rather have a smaller more concealable/comfortable gun that holds less rounds and carry Extra Mags? OR ...
Extra Mags
Extra Capacity
I think this is an interesting question.
Would you rather have a smaller more concealable/comfortable gun that holds less rounds and carry Extra Mags?
Would you rather have a larger gun, less comfortable that has a higher capacity and not worry about extra mags.
Nice small tight ultra reliable H&K P2000SK 9MM w/10rds at 3:30 IWB everywhere I go these days and a nice small extra mag in the cargo pocket. Nobody has a clue...except all of you
2A is not negotiable
I might not have time to reload so I want to as many rounds on tap as I can realisticly carry
A real man loves his wife, and places his family as the most important thing in life. Nothing has brought me more peace and content in life than simply being a good husband and father.
Of my .45 EDC's, my Kimber is 7 + 1, and my Glock is 6 + 1...unless I'm defending myself from the Hell's Angels m/c gang, that should get me out of the WW parking lot safely.
I view the extra mags (which I prefer) as more of a backup from a malfunction issue than needing extra shots...although extra shots is a good thing...I'm just sayin'...
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

Why not both...
extra cap. AND extra mags!
However, my normal EDC is a Kel-Tec PF-9 (7+1) and 2 extra mags.
But, I carry my Sig 226 (15+1) with 2 extra mags as much as possible.
I thoroughly disapprove of duels.
If a man should challenge me, I would take him kindly and forgivingly by the hand
and lead him to a quiet place and kill him.
-Mark Twain
I either carry my XDsc .40 with the 9 round mag, 1 chambered and an extra 9 round mag, or one of my snubnose .38's with a speedloader in pouch strong side, and speedstrip front pocket strong side.
My EDC off duty is a High Power with 10 round capacity in .40 S&W with two spare magazines at a minimum. Sometimes I carry three spare magazines on my belt.
I also carry at least one BUG, J-Frame, with two reloads.
Regardless of the round count, and extra mag IMO is always a good idea. But, to answer your question, I prefer to have more rounds in a double stack mag gun than a single stack unless I need something really slim in which case I go to a single stack. Always makes me slighty uncomfortable going from 16rnds to 9 even though I know that the chances of needing more than a couple rounds are extremely slim. But, if I went by odds, I might not carry at all....
Benjamin Franklin once said, "he that would supplant a little liberty for a little safety deserves neither".
My G22 has a capacity of 15+1. Hopefully won't need all, but I do carry a spare mag or two depending on where I am.
"Without fear there can be no Courage!"
Both is good,. But if I had to make a choice, I would rather be more concealable and carry extra mag's with more capacity...
My XD-45 has a capacity of 13+1 and I have two other mags I carry with it.
Mixed Martial Arts Record= 2-0.......Kyokushin Karate Record=5-0
USMC.....helping enemies of America die for their countries since 1775
The only thing better then having extra ammo in your pocket is having extra ammo in your gun.
i carry 15 + 1 plus occasional extra mag
I vote for both, I carry a CZ75 P-06 .40 cal. 12+1 with a spare 12 round mag all the time.
um...both high capacity and an extra mag or two.
"Being a predator isn't always comfortable but the only other option is to be prey. That is not an acceptable option." ~Phil Messina
If you carry in Condition 3, you have two empty chambers. One in the weapon...the other between your ears.

Posted by Augie Ray on August 24, 2010
Do you want to succeed at social media or social media marketing? There is a difference—a huge difference. It's the difference between using social media tools and adopting social media philosophy; the difference between sparking posts about your marketing and posts about your product or service; and the difference between marketers who focus externally on how the brand is broadcast versus internally on how the brand is realized.
So do you want to succeed at social media or social media marketing? The answer is the former, but many marketers focus on the latter. I'd like to make this difference more real by sharing two examples—the first in the entertainment industry and the second my own experiences in a mall this weekend.
Snakes on a Plane (SoaP) is the entertainment industry's greatest pre-release social media success story to date. The Guardian called it, "Perhaps the most internet-hyped film of all time." Fans produced their own T-shirts, posters, trailers, novelty songs, and parodies. Producers organized a contest to select a fan's music for use in the movie. The filmmakers added shooting days in order to implement changes suggested by fans on the Internet (including Samuel Jackson's famous and unprintable-on-this-blog line about "m&f%*#f+!@ing snakes").
