Latin American music
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2012) |
Latin American music encompasses rhythms and styles originated or related to Latin America, as well as derived music genres from the United Statescitation needed and Europe.1 Some critics have defined Latin music as an incorporation of four elements: music style, geography, cultural background of the artist and language.1 The first of those encapsulates all music styles generated from Latin countries, such as salsa, merengue, tango, bossa nova and bachata; as well as other styles derived from a more mainstream genre, such as Latin pop, rock, jazz and Reggaeton.

Popular music styles by country
The tango is perhaps Argentina's best-known musical genre, famous worldwide. Others styles include the Chacarera, Milonga, Zamba and Chamamé. Modern rhythms include Cuarteto (music from the Cordoba Province) and Electrotango.
Argentine rock (known locally as rock nacional) was most popular during the 1980s, and remains Argentina's most popular music. Rock en Español was first popular in Argentina, then swept through other Latin American countries and Spain. The movement was known as the "Argentine Wave."
The music of Belize has a combination of Kreol, Mestizo, Garifuna, and Mayan influences. The music is generally rewritten in English. After many centuries of Maya habitation Spanish (and then British) colonists arrived in the area, the latter keeping Belize as its only colony in Spanish-dominated Central America. More influential than either European power's arrival, however, was the importation of African slaves. Europeans brought polkas, waltzes, schottisches and quadrilles, and Africans brought instruments and percussion-based music. The Mayans made the first diatonic marimba, which was also popularin Belize. African culture resulted in the creation of music in the logging camps played by banjos, guitars, drums, bells, accordions and an ass's jawbone (played by running a stick up and down the teeth). Among the most popular musical styles created by Kriol musicians is brukdown. Brukdown evolved from the music and dance of loggers, especially a form known as buru. Punta and Punta rock-jazz-hiphop are the most popular dances in Garifuna culture, performed around holidays and at parties and other social events. Punta lyrics are usually composed by women. Chumba and hunguhungu are round dances with a three-beat rhythm, often combined with punta.
Bolivian music is perhaps the most strongly linked to its native population among the national styles of South America. After the nationalistic period of the 1950s Aymara and Quechuan culture became more widely accepted, and their folk music evolved into a more pop-like sound. Los Kjarkas played a pivotal role in this fusion. Other forms of native music (such as huayños and caporales) are also widely played. Cumbia is another popular genre. There are also lesser-known regional forms, such as the music from Santa Cruz and Tarija (where styles such as Cueca and Chacarera are popular).
Choro "Atraente", composed by Chiquinha Gonzaga, recorded by Pixinguinha (saxophone) and Benedito Lacerda (flute). Choro is a genre of Brazilian instrumental music

Brazil is a large, diverse country with a long history of popular-musical development, ranging from the early-20th-century innovation of samba to the modern Música Popular Brasileira. Bossa nova is internationally well-known, and Forró (pronounced [foˈʁɔ]) is also widely known and popular in Brazil. Lambada is influenced by rhythms like cumbia and merengue.
Many musical genres are native to Chile; one of the most popular was the Chilean Romantic Cumbia, exemplified by artists such as Americo and Leo Rey. The Nueva Canción originated in the 1960s and 1970s and spread in popularity until the 1973 Chilean coup d'état, when most musicians were arrested, killed or exiled.
In Central Chile, several styles can be found: the Cueca (the national dance), the Tonada, the Refalosa, the Sajuriana, the Zapateado, the Cuando and the Vals. In the Norte Grande region traditional music resembles the music of southern Perú and western Bolivia, and is known as Andean music. This music, which reflects the spirit of the indigenous people of the Altiplano, was an inspiration for the Nueva canción. The Chiloé Archipelago has unique folk-music styles, due to its isolation from the culture centres of Santiago and Lima.
Music from Chilean Polynesia, Rapa Nui music, is derived from Polynesian culture rather than colonial society or European influences.
Cuba has produced many of the world's best-known musical genres, and a number of renowned musicians in a variety of styles. Blended styles range from the danzón to the rumba.
Colombian music can be divided into four musical zones: the Atlantic coast, the Pacific coast, the Andean region and Los Llanos. The Atlantic music features rhythms such as the cumbia, porros and mapalé. Music from the Pacific coast, with drums predominating (such as the currulao) is tinged with Spanish influence. Colombian Andean has been strongly influenced by Spanish rhythms and instruments, and differs noticeably from the Indian music of Peru or Bolivia. Typical forms include the bambuco, pasillo guabina and torbellino, played with pianos and string instruments such as the tiple guitarra. The music of Los Llanos, música llanera, is usually accompanied by a harp, a cuatro (a type of four-string guitar) and maracas. It has much in common with the music of the Venezuelan Llanos.
Apart from these traditional forms, two newer musical styles have conquered large parts of the country: la salsa, which has spread throughout the Pacific coast and the vallenato, which originated in La Guajira and César (on the northern Caribbean coast). The latter is based on European accordion music. Merengue music is heard as well. More recently, musical styles such as reggaeton and bachata have also become popular.
Dominican Republic
Merengue típico and Orchestra merengue have been popular in the Dominican Republic for many decades, and is widely regarded as the national music. Bachata is a more recent arrival, taking influences from the bolero and derived from the country's rural guitar music. Bachata has evolved and risen in popularity over the last 40 years in the Dominican Republic and other areas (such as Puerto Rico) with the help of artists such as Antony Santos, Luis Segura, Luis Vargas, Teodoro Reyes, Yoskar Sarante, Alex Bueno, and Aventura. Bachata, merengue and salsa are now equally popular among Spanish-speaking Caribbean people. When the Spanish conquistadors sailed across the Atlantic they brought with them a type of music known as hesparo, which contributed to the development of Dominican music. A romantic style is also popular in the Dominican Republic from vocalists such as Angela Carrasco, Anthony Rios, Dhario Primero, Maridalia Hernandez and Olga Lara.
Traditional Ecuadorian music can be classified as mestizo, Indian and black music. Mestizo music evolved from the interrelation between Spanish and Indian music. It has rhythms such as pasacalles, pasillos, albazos and sanjuanitos, and is usually played by stringed instruments. There are also regional variations: coastal styles, such as vals (similar to Vals Peruano (Waltz)) and montubio music (from the coastal hill country).
Indian music in Ecuador is determined in varying degrees by the influence of quichua culture. Within it are sanjuanitos (different from the meztizo sanjuanito), capishkas, danzantes and yaravis. Non-quichua indigenous music ranges from the Tsáchila music of Santo Domingo (influenced by the neighboring Afro-marimba) to the Amazonian music of groups such as the Shuar.
Black Ecuadorian music can be classified into two main forms. The first type is black music from the coastal Esmeraldas province, and is characterized by the marimba. The second variety is black music from the Chota Valley in the northern Sierra (primarily known as Bomba del Chota), characterized by a more-pronounced mestizo and Indian influence than marimba esmeraldeña. Most of these musical styles are also be played by wind ensembles of varying sizes at popular festivals around the country. Like other Latin American countries, Ecuadorian music includes local exponents of international styles: from opera, salsa and rock to cumbia, thrash metal and jazz.
El Salvador
Salvadoran music may be compared with the Colombian style of music known as cumbia. Popular styles in modern El Salvador (in addition to cumbia) are salsa, Bachata and Reggaeton. "Political chaos tore the country apart in the early 20th century, and music was often suppressed, especially those with strong native influences. In the 1940s, for example, it was decreed that a dance called "Xuc" was to be the "national dance" which was created and led by Paquito Palaviccini's and his Orquestra Internacional Polio".citation needed In recent years reggaeton and hip hop have gained popularity, led by groups such as Pescozada and Mecate. Salvadorian music has a musical style influenced by Mayan music (played on the El Salvador-Guatemala border, in Chalatenango). Another popular style of music not native to El Salvador is known as Punta, a Belizean and Honduran style.
One of the leading classical composers from El Salvador is Carlos Colón-Quintana.
Guatemala has a very long musical tradition.
Haiti has a rich blend of African and European music; Cuban and Dominican influences also blend to create Haiti's diverse music. The most notable styles are Kompa and méringue. Evolving in Haiti during the 1850s, the Haitian merengue (known as the mereng in Haitiean Creole and méringue in French) is regarded as the oldest surviving form of merengue performed today and is a national symbol. According to Jean Fouchard, mereng evolved from the fusion of slave music genres (such as the chica and calenda) with ballroom forms related to the French contredanse. Mereng's name, he says, derives from the mouringue music of the Bara, a Bantu people of Madagascar. That few Malagasies came to the Americas casts doubt on this etymology, but it is significant because it emphasizes what Fouchard (and most Haitians) consider the African-derived nature of their music and national identity. Dominican merengue, Jean Fouchard suggests, developed directly from Haitian mereng.
Dominicans are not inclined to highlight African and Haitian influences on their culture. As ethno-musicologist Martha Davis points out, many Dominican scholars "have, at the least, ignored African influence in Santo Domingo. At the worst, they have bent over backwards to convince themselves and their readers of the one hundred percent Hispanic content of their culture. This is not an uncommon Latin American reaction to the inferiority complex produced by centuries of Spanish colonial domination".citation needed
The music of Honduras varies from Punta (the local genre of the Garifunas) to Caribbean music such as salsa, merengue, reggae and reggaeton (all widely heard, especially in the north). Mexican ranchera music has a large following in the rural interior of the country. The country's ancient capital of Comayagua is an important center for modern Honduran music, and is home to the College for Fine Arts.
Mexico is perhaps one of the most musically diverse countries in the world. Each of its 31 states, its capital city and each of Mexico City's boroughs claim unique styles of music. The most representative genre is mariachi music. Although commonly misportrayed as buskers, mariachis musicians play extremely technical, structured music or blends such as jarabe. Most mariachi music is sung in verses of prose poetry. Ranchera, Mexico's country music, differs from mariachi in that it is less technical and its lyrics are not sung in prose. Other regional music includes: son jarocho, son huasteco, cumbia sonidera, Mexican pop, rock en español, Mexican rock and canto nuevo. There is also music based on sounds made by dancing (such as the zapateada) which some believe gave origin to flamenco after the Conquistadores brought it back to Spain and claimed it as their own.
Northeastern Mexico is home to another popular style called norteña, which assimilates Mexican ranchera with Colombian cumbia and is typically played with Bavarian accordions and Bohemian polka influence. Variations of norteña include duranguense, tambora sinaloense, corridos and nortec (norteño-techno). The eastern part of the country makes heavy use of the harp, typical of the son arocho style. The music in southern Mexico is particularly represented by its use of the marimba, which has its origins in the Soconusco region between Mexico and Guatemala.
The north-central states have recently spawned a Tecktonik-style music, combining electro and other dance genres with more traditional music.
The most popular style of music in Nicaragua is palo de Mayo, which is both a type of dance music and a festival where the dance (and music) originated. Other popular music includes marimba, punta, Garifuna music, son nica, folk music, merengue, bachata and salsa.
A popular style of music in Panama is Spanish reggae. Spanish reggae originated in Panama in 1977 and competes with reggaeton (which was created in Puerto Rico), having strong Puerto Rican influences such as bomba and plena soca. Salsa, bachata, and merengue can be heard as well throughout the nation. Other Hispanic and Latino styles are also heard, as well as Caribbean, salsa and West Indian music.
Paraguayan music depends largely upon two instruments: the guitar and the harp, which were brought by the conquistadors and found their own voices in the country. Polka Paraguaya, which adopted its name from the European dance, is the most popular type of music and has different versions (including the galopa, the krye'ÿ and the canción Paraguaya, or "Paraguayan song"). The first two are faster and more upbeat than a standard polka; the third is a bit slower and slightly melancholy. Other popular styles include the purahéi jahe'o and the compuesto (which tell sad, epic or love stories). The polka is usually based on poetic lyrics, but there are some emblematic pieces of Paraguayan music (such as "Pájaro Campana", or "Songbird", by Félix Pérez Cardozo).
Guarania is the second-best-known Paraguayan musical style, and was created by musician José Asunción Flores in 1925.
Peruvian music is made up of indigenous, Spanish and West African influences. Coastal Afro-Peruvian music is characterized by the use of the cajón peruano. Amerindian music varies according to region and ethnicity. The best-known Amerindian style is the huayño (also popular in Bolivia), played on instruments such as the charango and guitar. Mestizo music is varied and includes popular valses and marinera from the northern coast.
Puerto Rico
The history of the music on the island of Puerto Rico begins with its original inhabitants, the Taínos. The Taíno Indians have influenced the Puerto Rican culture greatly, leaving behind important contributions such as their musical instruments, language, food, plant medicine and art. The heart of much Puerto Rican music is the idea of improvisation in both the music and the lyrics. A performance takes on an added dimension when the audience can anticipate the response of one performer to a difficult passage of music or clever lyrics created by another. This technique in Puerto Rico is called a controversia. Of all Puerto Rico's musical exports, the best-known is reggaeton. Bomba and plena have long been popular, while reggaetón is a relatively recent invention. It is a form of urban contemporary music, often combining other Latin musical styles, Caribbean and West Indies music, (such as reggae, soca, Spanish reggae, salsa, merengue and bachata.2 It originates from Panamanian Spanish reggae and Jamaican dancehall, however received its rise to popularity through Puerto Rico.3456Tropikeo is the fusion of R&B, Rap, Hip Hop, Funk and Techno Music within a Tropical musical frame of salsa, in which the conga drums and/or timbales drums are the main source of rhythm of the tune, in conjunction with a heavy salsa "montuno" of the piano. The lyrics of the song can be rapped or sung, or used combining both styles, as well as danced in both styles. Aguinaldo from Puerto Rico is similar to Christmas carols, except that they are usually sung in a parranda, which is rather like a lively parade that moves from house to house in a neighborhood, looking for holiday food and drink. The melodies were subsequently used for the improvisational décima and seis. There are aguinaldos that are usually sung in churches or religious services, while there are aguinaldos that are more popular and are sung in the parrandas. Danza is a very sophisticated form of music that can be extremely varied in its expression; they can be either romantic or festive. Romantic danzas have four sections, beginning with an eight measure paseo followed by three themes of sixteen measures each. The third theme typically includes a solo by the bombardino and, often, a return to the first theme or a coda at the end. Festive danzas are free-form, with the only rules being an introduction and a swift rhythm. Plena is a narrative song from the coastal regions of Puerto Rico, especially around Ponce, Puerto Rico.7 Its origins have been various claimed as far back as 1875 and as late as 1920. As rural farmers moved to San Juan, Puerto Rico and other cities, they brought plena with them and eventually added horns and improvised call and response vocals. Lyrics generally deal with stories or current events, though some are light-hearted or humorous.
Llanera is Venezuelan popular music originating in the llanos plains, although a more upbeat and festive gaita version is heard western Venezuela (particularly in Zulia State). There are also African-influenced styles which emphasize drumming and dance, and such diverse styles as music from the Guayana region (influenced by neighboring English-speaking countries) and Andean music from Mérida.
Uruguayan music has similar roots to that of Argentina. Uruguayan tango and milonga are both popular styles, and folk music from along the River Plate is indistinguishable from its Argentine counterpart. Uruguay rock and cancion popular (Uruguayan versions of rock and pop music) are popular local forms. Candombe, a style of drumming descended from African slaves in the area, is quintessentially Uruguayan (although it is played to a lesser extent in Argentina).8 It is most popular in Montevideo, but may also be heard in a number of other cities.
Popular styles
Nueva canción
Based on Cuban music (especially Cuban son and son montuno) in rhythm, tempo, bass line, riffs and instrumentation, Salsa represents an amalgamation of musical styles including rock, jazz, and other Latin American (and Puerto Rican) musical traditions. Modern salsa (as it became known worldwide) was forged in the pan-Latin melting pot of New York City in the late 1960s and early 1970s.
Tejano music
Tejano music may be categorized as a blend of country music, rock, and R&B born in Texas and performed in both Spanish and English with a variety of cultural influences.
Most Tejanos today reside in South Texas and have a form of folk and popular music, greatly influenced by (yet quite distinctive from) both traditional genres of Mexican music and mainstream genres of American music. Texan star Selena is credited with bringing Tejano music to the forefront of popular music. The tejano is a form of hiphop dance.
Reggaeton has become a Latin American phenomenon and is no longer classifiable as a Panamanian (or even a Puerto Rican) genre. It blends the Jamaican musical influences of reggae and dancehall and Trinidadian soca with Latin American music (such as the Puerto Rican bomba and plena) and American hip hop and rap. The music is also combined with rapping, generally in Spanish.
Latin ballad
The Latin (or romantic) ballad is a Latin musical genre which originated in the 1960s. This ballad is very popular in Latin America and Spain, and is characterized by a sensitive rhythm. A descendant of the bolero, it has several variants (such as salsa and cumbia). Since the mid-20th century a number of artists have popularized the genre, such as Julio Iglesias, Luis Miguel, Enrique Iglesias and Cristian Castro.
Imported styles
Imported styles of popular music with a distinctively Latin flavor include Latin jazz, Argentine and Chilean rock and Cuban and Mexican hip hop, all influenced by styles from the United States (jazz, rock and roll and hip hop). Music from non-Latin parts of the Caribbean are also popular throughout Latin America, especially Jamaican reggae and dub, Trinidadian calypso music and soca. Flamenco, rumba, pasodoble and fados from the Iberian peninsula are well-known due to the Iberian heritage in Latin America.

Jay W. Marks, MD
Jay W. Marks, MDJay W. Marks, MD, is a board-certified internist and gastroenterologist. He graduated from Yale University School of Medicine and trained in internal medicine and gastroenterology at UCLA/Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. GENERIC NAME: ibuprofenBRAND NAME: Advil, Children's Advil/Motrin, Medipren, Motrin, Nuprin, PediaCare Fever etc.DRUG CLASS AND MECHANISM: Ibuprofen belongs to a class of drugs called non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Other members of this class include aspirin, naproxen (Aleve), indomethacin (Indocin), nabumetone (Relafen) and several others. These drugs are used for the management of mild to moderate pain, fever, and inflammation. Pain, fever, and inflammation are promoted by the release in the body of chemicals called prostaglandins. Ibuprofen blocks the enzyme that makes prostaglandins (cyclooxygenase), resulting in lower levels of prostaglandins. As a consequence, inflammation, pain and fever are reduced. The FDA approved ibuprofen in 1974. PRESCRIPTION: Yes GENERIC AVAILABLE: Yes PREPARATIONS: Tablets of 200, 400, 600, and 800 mg; Chewable tablets of 50 and 100 mg; Capsules of 200 mg; Suspension of 100 mg/2.5 ml and 100 mg/5 ml; Oral drops of 40 mg/ml. STORAGE: Ibuprofen should be stored at room temperature, between 15-30°C (59-86°F). PRESCRIBED FOR: Ibuprofen is used for the treatment of mild to moderate pain, inflammation and fever caused by many and diverse diseases. DOSING: For minor aches, mild to moderate pain, menstrual cramps, and fever, the usual adult dose is 200 or 400 mg every 4 to 6 hours. Arthritis is treated with 300 to 800 mg 3 or 4 times daily. When under the care of a physician, the maximum dose of ibuprofen is 3.2 g daily. Otherwise, the maximum dose is 1.2 g daily. Individuals should not use ibuprofen for more than 10 days for the treatment of pain or more than 3 days for the treatment of a fever unless directed by a physician. Children 6 months to 12 years of age usually are given 5-10 mg/kg of ibuprofen every 6-8 hours for the treatment of fever and pain. The maximum dose is 40 mg/kg daily. Juvenile arthritis is treated with 20 to 40 mg/kg/day in 3-4 divided doses. Ibuprofen should be taken with meals to prevent stomach upset. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Ibuprofen is associated with several suspected or probable interactions that can affect the action of other drugs. Ibuprofen may increase the blood levels of lithium (Eskalith) by reducing the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. Increased levels of lithium may lead to lithium toxicity. Ibuprofen may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effects of drugs that are given to reduce blood pressure. This may occur because prostaglandins play a role in the regulation of blood pressure. When ibuprofen is used in combination with aminoglycosides [for example, gentamicin (Garamycin)] the blood levels of the aminoglycoside may increase, presumably because the elimination of aminoglycosides from the body is reduced. This may lead to aminoglycoside-related side effects. Individuals taking oral blood thinners or anticoagulants [for example, warfarin (Coumadin)] should avoid ibuprofen because ibuprofen also thins the blood, and excessive blood thinning may lead to bleeding. PREGNANCY: There are no adequate studies of ibuprofen in pregnant women. Therefore, ibuprofen is not recommended during pregnancy. Ibuprofen should be avoided in late pregnancy due to the risk of premature closure of the ductus arteriosus in the fetal heart.. NURSING MOTHERS: Ibuprofen is not excreted in breast milk. Use of ibuprofen while breastfeeding, poses little risk to the infant. Report Problems to the Food and Drug Administration You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA. Visit the FDA MedWatch website or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

A DNA sampling bill introduced by North Bergen Mayor and State Sen. Nicholas Sacco (D-32) is currently pending review by the Senate Public Safety committee.
The bill, S-436, was introduced last month by Sacco and Sen. Paul Sarlo (D-36) in a continued effort to expand existing legislation requiring those convicted of certain crimes to submit their DNA to a database. The samples contained in a database can be used to match DNA to crime scene evidence to help aid in unsolved crimes.
The new bill would expand the sampling requirement to include samples from disorderly persons offenders and certain violent arrestees.
"DNA sampling is to 21st century police work what fingerprinting was for the 20th century," said Sacco at the time of the bill's introduction. "We can quickly and easily obtain a DNA sample and compare it to an electronic database of evidence collected at crime scenes for unsolved crimes committed anywhere in the state. DNA evidence can make the difference between a cold case and a new lead, and we ought to do what we can to improve the effectiveness of this tool."
"It's really been the key legislative accomplishment of his career." – Spokesman Phil Swibinski
Sacco said that a similar bill was also recently signed into law in New York. According to Sacco, he hopes that the DNA database between the two states can be merged to help establish a collaborative crime-solving effort.
"DNA evidence has proven to be an accurate weapon in the war on crime," said Sacco at the time of the introduction. "By creating an 'all-crimes' DNA database in New York and New Jersey, we can lead the nation in this cutting-edge area of criminal justice and crime prevention."
Bill background
Sacco initially sponsored an original bill establishing a DNA database at the beginning of his senate career in 1994. The bill, which was signed into law, established the DNA database. Under Sacco's efforts, the sampling requirement has since been expanded over the years to include sampling from those convicted of crimes of a lesser degree.
"It's really been the key legislative accomplishment of his career," said Phil Swibinski, a spokesman for Sacco. "The theory is that the more data you can put in and the more people you can get DNA samples from, the more effective the database is going to be."
Under current law, adults and juveniles found guilty of a crime of the first, second, third, or fourth degree, or someone who was found not guilty by reason of insanity for any of those crimes, must submit to DNA sampling to be compared against the current database of DNA evidence taken at crime scenes throughout the state. According to Swibinski, those who have their convictions overturned are removed from the database.
A person who refuses to submit a sample is guilty of a crime of the fourth degree, which is punishable by a term of imprisonment of up to 18 months, a fine of up to $10,000, or both.
Swibinski said that sample collection is a "swab," and is "minimally invasive."
Contested areas
Sacco's bills in this area have often been met with outspoken opposition from civil liberties groups. According to Sacco, his bills are often contested by the American Civil Liberties Union.
Some civil liberties groups have charged that DNA sampling is an infringement of civil rights.
"I believe they're wrong," said Sacco. "We want to make New Jersey a safer place to live."
"Enough is enough," said ACLU Legal Director Ed Barocas, in a release. "By attempting to extend the reach of the DNA Database to cover mere disorderly persons offenses, the legislature is creating significant privacy implications for individuals due to matters that the state of New Jersey does not even consider crimes."
Other areas of concern for opponents to the bill include a concern over the sample requirement for juveniles and those convicted of a fourth degree crime, which includes shoplifting of a minimum of $200.
"Indeed, under this bill," said Barocas, "New Jersey residents, including our children, will be subjected to having their DNA collected, categorized, and put into a nationwide database for very minor activity such as a 19-year-old having a beer at a football game, a child who causes $20 worth of damage from graffiti, or a child who hits another child without any injuries occurring."
Sacco said that only juveniles convicted of major crimes would be entered into the system.
"For a juvenile to get in the database it's a major crime," said Sacco. "The juvenile [requirement] is a high standard, [such as] murder or rape."
"I do recognize how some [opponents] feel," said Sacco, adding "but I believe that they're going to find out that after this bill passes that it's very effective [in tackling unsolved crimes]."

Marketing research. I help companies market products to consumers. Mostly private sector stuff.
And I understand that supply side economics is bunk, that rich people don't actually create jobs, that *aggregate demand* (look it up) creates jobs. That is why California continues to be such a wealthy state overall not in spite of but because of our strong social services, and why low-tax, low infrastructure red states are still and always will be basketcases.
A healthy and strong middle class is the best tool of job creation, and I'm happy to pay my corporate and income taxes to ensure the social compact that makes blue states more desirable places to live.
Lol David. I was looking for the short answer because I was curious but thanks. I also agree we need to keep the middle class strong.

Comments about Giro Reverb Bike Helmet:
Tried on lots of helmets and this had the best fit, perfect fit actually. I ride about 60 miles a week for recreation and exercise. The Reverb comes with visor, but the helmet is large enough that it can be worn with a ball cap, when the Velcro pads are removed.
Works for me
Best Uses
Comments about Giro Reverb Bike Helmet:
Bought it for my Catrike after trying on many and finding the head band adjusting knob that is commonly used on most helmets,interfering with the head rest. This helmet is very lite and cool.
I tested it out on my road bike and found that you have to sinch it up tight or it will slip back
on my head by the wind. Never had that problem on the trike. The visor needs to be longer when using it on the road bike. Thought about replacing it with the front of a baseball cap.
I would recommend this helmet to a casual rider
or a recumbent trike rider but not to road biker
or mountain biker.
Best Uses
Comments about Giro Reverb Bike Helmet:
I have serious doubts about the ability of this helmet to stay on your head in an impact.
With it snugged down tight, it can be easily pushed back onto the back of your head or off to the side by a glancing impact (or one finger), leaving the front or side of your head exposed for the second impact. I compared it with my older helmets (Bell, Vetta, and MSR, going back to the '80s) and found this one much worse in this regard. The problem is that the chin strap is poorly designed and does not allow adjustment other than length. My older helmets all have chin straps that come straight down from the helmet in front of the ears, and other pieces that go back under the ears to keep the back of the helmet in place (or they allow one to adjust the straps that way). That way, the front of the helmet is held down.
I regret that I didn't test the straps a bit more seriously in the store. Now, I might be too embarassed to take it back to the store, after having bought it to replace the previous one that I took back for related reasons (also a Giro).
Aside from the little issue of keeping it straight on your head, seems like a pretty nice helmet.

In the year 2047, humanity faces several dilemmas. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars requires single-players to either fight as a member of the Global Defense Initiative (GDI) in an effort to contain the Tiberium, an alien substance infecting the Earth, or use the living matter to create a new breed of mutated people as a member of the Brotherhood of NOD. Gamers must select their side and then step into a variety of campaigns and battle zones where the object is to create a base and defend it while sending units to attack the enemy.
Between the battles of Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars live-action cinematics unveil the story of each faction. Classic units make a return to the game or players can keep their opponents at bay with such futuristic technology such as stealth generators and lasers. There is no one way to win, and players are given rewards based on their style of gameplay.
Lending their talents to the theatrical cut-scenes are a variety of Hollywood actors including Michael Ironside, Josh Holloway, Tricia Helfer, Billy Dee Williams, and Grace Park. Rounding out the list of names are John Huck and Shanon Cook, two real-life journalists who assume the roles of two reporters broadcasting information about the battle. Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars also features a several online options including voice-over IP, clan support, and a spectator mode. ~ Gracie Leach, All Game Guide

It's very much black and very stiff on the cushion but the quality seemed pretty good. It's too bad I'll have to return it but the customer service was really good on returns. It's a heavy package for returns and shipping would costs a lot but since this was my first time purchase with overstock, he waived it and UPS will pick it up at my house. I'm very happy with the service even though the ottoman didn't work out. I'm still searching for my perfect brown ottoman.
I've called customer service and they are arranging for UPS to pick up the damaged ottoman' it arrived damage.. it appeared to have been damaged in packaging.. since the 4 " long X 2 wide " "splinter" was in the outer box outside box. while . the inside box and cushioning were sealed and well insulated: also arrived without an outside packing slip or an inside shipping invoice.. and therefore was not an inspector # nor any initials on any missing invoice... oops-- quality control. I was told that the item is suppose to be inspected before shipment -- --guess this one wasn't No worries however Overstock is contacting UPS and will send them a slip to pick up in 2 to 5 days and since the item was still in stock.. will send a replacement ottoman. overall (* without t any scratches, devits.. the product itself is a very smart/handsome piece I look forward to a replacement free of damage to use in my living room
Delivery was fast so overstock.com didn't totally mess up our experience but the product itself sucks. The photo online is nice but when we read leather on the description, we expect to receive leather. This is cheap imitation leather and it is going back. Thank goodness Overstock stands behind their products! I will say the product was packaged well though, for any consolation.
For sight unseen this is acceptable and suits our purpose. Nice looking and sturdy though a tad dark if not a bright room. We would consider purchasing furniture again from Overstock.
The ottoman arrived well packaged in a very sturdy cardboard box wrapped in several layers of bubble wrap. Assembly requires bolting the legs to the ottoman which was easy to do. They even shipped a 14 mm combo wrench for that purpose. I'm 68 years old and easily did it by myself. I find the drawer very handy. It is the primary reason for buying the ottoman.
Pictures are accurate. Quality of leather is fair. Would not purchase again or recommend. Do no dislike so much that I want to go through the hassle of a return.
I was looking for an ottoman as a replacement. I didn't want to pay too much. Why - I have 2 cats. I really love this ottoman and look at it as a coffee table. It has a small drawer in it which is useful for the controls. The top detailing gives it a nice finish.
The product was wrapped well and easy to assemble. The problem was once it was assembled and set upright on the legs it became obvious that the drawer does not close all the way and one end sticks out away from the surface of the base. I understand this is an inexpensive table made in China but I'm still disappointed in the defect. The quality and finish of the leather is good and otherwise it is a nice looking piece that fits our room well.
We bought this because our son had one too many close calls with the old coffee table. It was SUPER easy to put together - but is VERY dark. Almost black. It works for us, but i wish it was a little more brown.
I ordered this ottoman in place of a traditional coffee table. It is a nice alternative to a wood or glass table and it fit the space perfectly. My husband and I hate banging our legs into hard corners so the soft edges are much appreciated. The little storage drawer is perfect for housing the remote control and we now have something to put our drinks and feet on.

The sensor:
Sharp 2D120x f 9z
around 10 euro (Watterott)
size: appr. 5x1x1cm
operating voltage: 5V
output: analog voltage
range: 4-30cm
Minimal setup:
Lpc17Core with midio128v3.006
SDcard (to enable the Ain)
I bought and additional cable which fitted in the sensors plug. As the sensor requires 5V to operate, its ground and source are connected to
J2, with and 100nF capacitor to reduce jittering. The analog output is connected to an analog input of the core (Note: there is a version of
the sharp which has a digital output).
P1020058_low.jpg 617.57K 43 downloads
I used the distance to control a value in Traktor (by a hand), it worked well, except the highest 5% of the values are unreachable, but this is not so problematic on the first run. I could achive higher values by using something more reflective as my hand, a paper. The jittering is lower than I expected, the value jumps approximatly every 5 seconds. The area in which the sensor will work is about 10cm diameter at a distance of 30cm to the sensor.
I hope this is usefull to someone, I had a lot of fun playing around with it and will use multiple sensors in my (traktor-)midicontroller.

Pants seem to be good quality and well thought out however the zipper popped apart on the third ride. The way its stitched in doesnt allow for it to be "restarted" at the bottom of the zipper so I have been in contact with RM and Tourmaster to get it sorted out. My friend also had the same issue on his pair, unfortunately he forgot to mention that to me before I purchased mine...

i need some help with danger qoutes.. can you help me out?
Hi Tamara, You mean Shakespeare danger quotes or danger quotes more generally? This page has loads of interesting danger quotes: http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/keywords/danger.html
Read Macbeth's "If it were done when 'tis done" soliloquy below with modern English translation & analysis.
Spoken by Macbeth, Macbeth Act 1 Scene7
If it were done when 'tis done, then 'twere well
It were done quickly: if the assassination
Could trammel up the consequence, and catch
With his surcease success; that but this blow
Might be the be-all and the end-all here,
But here, upon this bank and shoal of time,
We'ld jump the life to come. But in these cases
We still have judgment here; that we but teach
Bloody instructions, which, being taught, return
To plague the inventor: this even-handed justice
Commends the ingredients of our poison'd chalice
To our own lips. He's here in double trust;
First, as I am his kinsman and his subject,
Strong both against the deed; then, as his host,
Who should against his murderer shut the door,
Not bear the knife myself. Besides, this Duncan
Hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been
So clear in his great office, that his virtues
Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against
The deep damnation of his taking-off;
And pity, like a naked new-born babe,
Striding the blast, or heaven's cherubim, horsed
Upon the sightless couriers of the air,
Shall blow the horrid deed in every eye,
That tears shall drown the wind. I have no spur
To prick the sides of my intent, but only
Vaulting ambition, which o'erleaps itself
And falls on the other.
"If It Were Done When 'Tis Done" Soliloquy Translation:
What should he do? He faced the tower wall and pressed his forehead against it. If it could be all finished and done with when it's done then it may as well be done quickly. If only the repercussions of the murder could be controlled. If only all the danger could end with Duncan's death -. If only the death blow could be the end of it -. If only we could escape the consequences of our actions here on earth – skip the life to come -.
Macbeth climbed up to the battlements and looked up at the sky. There were no stars.
The trouble was that we have choice: we havefreedom of choice. But if we choose violent options they come back to plague us. And it was that law, that even-handed justice, that was the problem. When we poison others we poison ourselves.
Duncan. Macbeth sighed. What was he to do?
The King trusted him completely. For two very good reasons: first as Macbeth was his cousin and his subject -both very powerful arguments against murder – and then as he was Duncan's host, who should shut the door against his murderer, not bear the knife himself!
Macbeth walked slowly down the stairs and back into the courtyard. And anyway, Duncan was so gentle as a man, and so strong as a king, that his virtues would cry out for revenge at the brutality of his death. There would be outrage at the slaughter of such a good man: everyone would be so filled with pity that the whole nation would grieve.
No, there was no excuse – only vaulting ambition, which threatened to overreach itself and bring him crashing down.

I set up my email into the iPad 'Mail' app, and I cannot find how you log out to prevent another user from opening and reading my mail.
Is it possible to log out of 'mail' on the iPad?
As far as I know, this is not possible. iPad is not made to be a multi-user device. I am in a similar situation myself as I share the iPad with my wife but haven't yet fixed it. Some alternatives:
| |||||
You can turn a mail account on/off as explained by RipperDoc (Settings -> Mail,Contacts,Calendars). On the iPhone, you can also turn off the ability to change the Mail settings; which requires a passcode. Settings -> General -> Restrictions -> Allow Changes (Accounts) It's a bit of a hassle; but, by turning off the mail account, and then disallowing changes to the account settings, you can prevent the mail from being accessed. | |||
Go to settings go to mail (it will say mail contacts calendars) once your in scroll to the bitten it will say delet account | |||
As a drastic measure you could remove the account by going to Settings -> Mail/Contacts/Calendars and deleting it there. | |||||||||
Go to Settings, Reset App, and Reset. The next time you open the app, it will ask you for the user and password. | |||||
just go to setting, click mail and put mail off.. thats all finish, want to access again mail on. | |||||
Go to settings then select mail go to hotmail or whatever you use and delet the account from your device you can always log back on | |||
Go to settings, click mail, click the first button ( the one thats at the top ) , click delete account andd PROBLEM SOLVED! | |||||

The Party Animals at the Secret Circus
By MAUREEN DOWD 26 MAY 2012 WASHINGTON THE Secret Circus, as the traveling Secret Service extravaganza is known, had come to town. And the pack of macho Secret Service agents were hitting the clubs, drinking and hanging out with comely young women in alluring outfits. That was half a century ago in Fort Worth at the Press Club and a joint called the Cellar, where the waitresses wore only underwear. The carousing started after midnight on Nov. 22, 1963, the day the agents were charged with keeping President Kennedy and Jackie safe in Dallas. Boys will be boys. And no one doubts that being an agent is a tough job. John Malkovich, playing an aspiring presidential assassin in In the Line of Fire, muses to Clint Eastwoods Secret Service agent: Watching the president, I couldnt help wondering why a man like you would risk his life to save a man like that. You have such a strange job. I cant decide if its heroic or absurd. The heroism is captured in Robert Caros latest book on Lyndon Johnson, The Passage of Power, which vividly retells the story of the day J.F.K. was assassinated. Rufus Youngblood, the Secret Service agent in the vice presidents car, grabbed Johnsons right shoulder, yanked him roughly down toward the floor in the center of the car, as he almost leaped over the front seat, and threw his body over the vice president, shouting again, Get down! Get down, Caro writes, adding that L.B.J. said he would never forget Youngbloods knees in my back and his elbows in my back. The absurd was captured on Wednesday in a Senate hearing into Secret Service shenanigans, focused on the drinking and prostitution scandal in Cartagena last month, but also touching on an incident in 2008 when an on-duty uniformed agent was arrested for soliciting a D.C. police officer posing as a hooker, and an episode in 2002 when three to five agents were ordered home from the Salt Lake City Olympics for misconduct involving alcohol and under-age girls in their hotel rooms. As The Washington Post reported, noting that some Secret Service employees call the road show the Secret Circus, one 29-year-old agent who was forced to resign after the Cartagena meshugas is protesting that he did not know the two women he brought to his room were prostitutes. Like Dudley Moore in Arthur, he just thought he was doing great with them. Mark Sullivan, the Secret Service director, came across like a credulous Boy Scout under rigorous questioning from Senator Susan Collins of Maine, the ranking Republican on the homeland security panel. He said he was sure, given that the Secret Service had 200 people in Colombia and only 12 bad apples, that someone on his team would have reported the misconduct even if Arthur Huntington, the cheapskate cheating agent, hadnt started a ruckus by handing his hooker $28 for a night worth $800. Collins reminded Sullivan that he had told the panel about a survey of personnel in the Secret Service a muscular fraternity that indulges a wheels-up, rings-off swagger showing that only about 58 percent would report ethical misconduct. I came away with a sense of disbelief that Mr. Sullivan is still maintaining that this was an isolated event, she told me. I think hes an extraordinarily honorable person who is so blindly devoted to the Secret Service that he just cannot conceive of agents acting in a way that he would personally never act. Its going to make it difficult for him to truly solve the problem if he cant admit that there was a problem. Collins professed a special fondness for law enforcement officers. But most of the ones I know who have had 29 years of service have a less sanguine view of human nature, she said. Thats what Mark Sullivan totally lacks. Dryly, she noted: Thank goodness it was just prostitutes. They could have been spies planting equipment. They could have blackmailed or drugged agents. This is Colombia, for heavens sake. Collins talked about the actions that led her to believe that the culture of the agency was warped. The 12 agents didnt go out on the town together in one group, where arguably some could have gotten swept away with what was going on, she said. They went in small groups but with the same end results. And they made no effort whatsoever to conceal what they were doing. They were registered under their own names. The women registered under their own names. They didnt go to an alternative place or to the womens homes. They went back to the hotel where the other agents were staying, with no fear of ramifications if they were caught. Pronouncing herself astonished, Collins said she would keep after Sullivan to treat the matter more seriously. I hate to use the word naïve, but ...
