Argentine leader promises new jobs
Argentina is well on the way to creating a million new jobs within a month, the country's new President Adolfo Rodriguez Saa has said.
He promised his supporters in the trade unions that the jobs would be paid for with the new currency his government is creating.
One in five Argentine citizens of working age are jobless, and the average $600 monthly wage is well in arrears of prices often at Western levels.
Finance Secretary Rodolfo Frigeri said the argentino was the only way to avoid dollarisation or devaluation.
The Argentine peso is currently pegged to the dollar. Devaluing the currency would force millions of Argentines with dollar debts into bankruptcy.
And dollarisation would "benefit some to the detriment of everyone else", according to Mr Rodriguez Saa.
But even within Mr Rodriguez Saa's Peronist party, not everyone agrees.
Carlos Menem, the former president freshly released from five months of house arrest over arms trades carried out by his administration, has criticised the argentino, instead pushing for full dollarisation.
That may not cut much ice with the Argentine public, since it was during his reign in the 1990s that Argentina's $132bn in federal debt was largely accumulated.
But it does put the massive dividing lines in the ruling party into sharp relief.
And that bodes ill for the new government's efforts to bring the economy back into shape.
According to Stan Rudcenko, an emerging markets economist at Societe Generale in London, improved policy consensus at the top is one reason why other countries which might once have been "weak links" have not been infected by Argentina's troubles.
That is not the case in Argentina, where jockeying within the Peronist party for position ahead of presidential elections in March 2002 is already well under way.
The situation has been the same throughout the crisis.
The government itself has been divided, while other groups such as regional government and opposition parties have done everything they can to take advantage of the situation.
"This tendency to play to the crowd is the weak link in Argentina, and it isn't elsewhere," Mr Rudcenko said.
In practice
The risk of further fall-out means that many in Argentina are now trying to pre-empt what they see as inevitable devaluation by raising prices or scrapping discounts.
The local retailers' association, CAME, said many shops had "hiked prices in pesos up to 20% in the last 72 hours given the uncertainty of surrounding the exchange rate parity".
Banks remain closed and ATMs are all out of cash.
Mr Frigeri said the argentino is the only way out of the dollar peg, which - while stamping down on formerly rampant inflation - has priced Argentine exports out of the market and contributed to the 43-month recession.
The argentino will circulate alongside the dollar and the peso.
The interim administration has said it will be used to pay government salaries, pensions, debts and state supplies.
Some economists have warned it will increase fears of a devaluation, especially if it used to pay off internal debts.
They also worry that not enough goods may be priced in argentinos, or that the government could print too many and restoke inflation.
But Mr Rodriguez Saa defended his plans.
"Some people believe we are going to do something irresponsible with this, but they are wrong," he told the unions, which are affiliated to his party.
"The argentino will help us reactivate the economy."
Government pledges
Mr Rodriguez Saa replaced former President Fernando de la Rua, who resigned last Thursday after rioting and looting triggered by economic hardship left 27 dead.
On Wednesday, he gave more details about his plans, including:
Earlier in the week, Mr Rodriguez Saa said that his country would suspend payment of its $132bn foreign debt - the biggest default in history.
"I failed"
Sacked economy minister Domingo Cavallo, who resigned last week as the crisis in the country gathered pace, accepted on Wednesday that he had failed.
He said he was now retiring from politics.
"I worked with all my soul... to try to solve (Argentina's) problems," he said.
"I obviously didn't manage it. ... History will tell."

Department of Homeland Security:
Continued Progress Made Improving and Integrating Management Areas, but More Work Remains
GAO-12-1041T: Published: Sep 20, 2012. Publicly Released: Sep 20, 2012.

(202) 512-9627
Office of Public Affairs

What GAO Found
Since we designated the implementation and transformation of DHS as high risk in 2003, DHS has made progress addressing management challenges and senior department officials have demonstrated commitment and top leadership support for addressing the department's management challenges. However, the department has significant work ahead to achieve positive outcomes in resolving high-risk issues. For example, DHS faces challenges in modernizing its financial systems, implementing acquisition management controls, and improving employee satisfaction survey results, among other things. As DHS continues to mature as an organization, it will be important for the department to continue to strengthen its management functions, since the effectiveness of these functions affects its ability to fulfill its homeland security and other missions.
Why GAO Did This Study
This testimony discusses the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) efforts to strengthen and integrate its management functions. DHS now has more than 200,000 employees and an annual budget of almost $60 billion, and its transformation is critical to achieving its homeland security and other missions. Since 2003, GAO has designated the implementation and transformation of DHS as high risk because DHS had to combine 22 agencies--several with major management challenges--into one department, and failure to effectively address DHS's management and mission risks could have serious consequences for our national and economic security. This high-risk area includes challenges in strengthening DHS's management functions--financial management, acquisition management, human capital, and information technology (IT)--the effect of those challenges on DHS's mission implementation, and challenges in integrating management functions within and across the department and its components. In November 2000, we published our criteria for removing areas from the high-risk list. This high-risk area includes challenges in strengthening DHS's management functions--financial management, acquisition management, human capital, and information technology (IT)--the effect of those challenges on DHS's mission implementation, and challenges in integrating management functions within and across the department and its components. Specifically, agencies must have (1) a demonstrated strong commitment and top leadership support to address the risks; (2) the capacity (that is, the people and other resources) to resolve the risks; (3) a corrective action plan that identifies the root causes, identifies effective solutions, and provides for substantially completing corrective measures in the near term, including but not limited to steps necessary to implement solutions we recommended; (4) a program instituted to monitor and independently validate the effectiveness and sustainability of corrective measures; and (5) the ability to demonstrate progress in implementing corrective measures. On the basis of our prior work, in a September 2010 letter to DHS, we identified, and DHS agreed to achieve, 31 actions and outcomes that are critical to addressing the challenges within the department's management areas and in integrating those functions across the department to address the high-risk designation. These key actions and outcomes include, among others, obtaining and then sustaining unqualified audit opinions for at least 2 consecutive years on the departmentwide financial statements; validating required acquisition documents in accordance with a department-approved, knowledge-based acquisition process; and demonstrating measurable progress in implementing its IT human capital plan and accomplishing defined outcomes. In January 2011, DHS issued its initial Integrated Strategy for High Risk Management, which included key management initiatives (e.g., financial management controls, IT program governance, and procurement staffing model) to address challenges and the outcomes we identified for each management area. DHS provided updates of its progress in implementing these initiatives in later versions of the strategy--June 2011, December 2011, and June 2012. Achieving and sustaining progress in these management areas would demonstrate the department's ability and ongoing commitment to addressing our five criteria for removing issues from the high-risk list. As requested, this testimony will discuss our observations, based on prior and ongoing work, on DHS's progress in achieving outcomes critical to addressing its high-risk designation for the implementation and transformation of the department.

Only if you have been in the deepest valley, can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountain.Richard M. Nixon
There is a sacred horror about everything grand. It is easy to admire mediocrity and hills; but whatever is too lofty, a genius as well as a mountain, an assembly as well as a masterpiece, seen too near, is appalling.Victor Hugo
For every mountain there is a miracle.Robert H. Schuller
Give me the comma of imperfect striving, thus to find zest in the immediate living. Ever the reaching but never the gaining, ever the climbing but never the attaining of the mountain top.Winston Graham
For those who wish to climb the mountain of spiritual awareness, the path is selfless work. For those who have attained the summit of union with the Lord, the path is stillness and peace.Bhagavad Gita
Live each day as you would climb a mountain. An occasional glance towards the summit puts the goal in mind. Many beautiful scenes can be observed from each new vantage point. Climb steadily, slowly, enjoy each passing moment; and the view from the summit will serve as a fitting climax to the journey.Joe Porcino
How often we speak of the great silences of the wilderness and of the importance of preserving them and the wonder and peace to be found there. When I think of them, I see the lakes and rivers of the North, the muskegs and expenses of tundra, the barren lands beyond all roads. I see the mountain ranges of the West and the high, rolling ridges of the Appalacians. I picture the deserts of the Southwest and their brilliant panoramas of color, the impenetrable swamp lands of the South. They will always be there and their beauty may not change, but should their silences be broken, they will never be the same.Sigurd F. Olson
The smaller we come to feel ourselves compared to the mountain, the nearer we come too participating in its greatness. I do not know why this is so.Arne Naess
How deep our sleep last night in the mountains here, beneath the trees and stars, hushed by solemn-sounding waterfalls and many small soothing voices in sweet accord whispering peace! And our first pure mountain day, warm, calm, cloudless, -- how immeasurable it seems, how serenely wild! I can scarcely remember its beginning. Along the river, over the hills, in the ground, in the sky, spring work is going on with joyful enthusiasm, new life, new beauty, unfolding, unrolling in glorious exuberant extravagance, -- new birds in their nests, new winged creatures in the air, and new leaves, new flowers, spreading, shining, rejoicing everywhere.John Muir
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilized people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.John Muir
I . . . am always glad to touch the living rock again and dip my hand in the high mountain air.John Muir
"...Good luck and Good work for the happy mountain raindrops, each one of them a high waterfall in itself, descending from the cliffs and hollows of the clouds to the cliffs and hollows of the rocks, out of the sky-thunder into the thunder of the falling riversJohn Muir
The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain -- he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem -- he is challenged by it. Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. It is better to master one mountain than a thousand foothillsWilliam Arthur Ward
The greatness comes not when things go always good for you. But the greatness comes when you're really tested, when you take some knocks, some isappointments, when sadness comes. Because only if you've been in the deepest valley can you ever know how magnificent it is to be on the highest mountainRichard M. Nixon
It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.Robert W. Service

Participants will ask as many of the following questions as time allows:
1. How does the ISS move around Earth without an engine?
2. What can you tell us about the 'lotus plant' inspired space gear protection?
3. What happens if there is an emergency onboard the ISS if there are no contacts?

Strong signal.
February 6th
ISS school contact from the Bühl-Realschule in Dornstadt, Germany
Having some severe trouble regarding the weather during the beginning of the contact let us think the contact may fail. Heavy ice fog was present and it was snowing, so an additional, unwanted attenuation of the downlink signal lead to unreadable downlink signals. Other hams reported that Cady Coleman already answered our calls several times before we could hear her talk. In the end we were very lucky to get all of our 20 questions through. :)

text: Vocabulary levels get longer the higher the deck level. Level length is determined by the available number of words at that level. For example, if level 1 only has 10 words and level 5 has 50 words, it may take 5x the effort to reach level 6 as it did level 2. The idea is to enable users enough opportunity to practice newly introduced words sufficiently before prematurely gaining a new level where even more new words are introduced. If this does happen, a few incorrect answers will bring the user back down to a level where practice is comfortable.

My ex and I have been separated for 12 years. We have two kids together. Two years ago he moved to Hawaii (best thing that ever happened to us!), the kids and I are in Georgia. Ex didn't move to Hawaii for work or school, he was just tried of the mainland. There is a court order which requires him to pay $560/month in child support, 28% of uncovered medical expenses, and several thousand dollars into the kids college funds. He is over $3500 in arrears, has paid zero of the medical expenses and put nothing into the college accounts. I do not have his address (he refuses to give it to me which is also a violation of our court order) so it is quite difficult to file a contempt. Him being out of state doesn't make a difference with visitation because he never came to see them when he lived only 20 minutes away.
BUT all that isn't what's pissing me off!
My DD turned 16 recently and her dad asked her what she wanted for her birthday. She told him that she wanted a pair of running shoes. So he called me and told me that I had to use the child support money to buy her the running shoes as birthday present from him! He wasn't going to spend any money on her unless he got child support credit for it. He did the same thing to DS, DS wanted a cell phone. When I told EX that child support was for the kids daily living expenses and not to cover gifts from him, he blew up and started calling me a greedy bitch. Of course DD is going to get the shoes, she runs varsity cross country, but they are not going to be a gift from him unless he buys them and gives them to her. When I quit answering his calls and texts he starts harassing the kids. He drags them into everything. They just end up fighting with him (they don't like all the disparaging comments he makes about me) and DS frequently says "something is really wrong with my dad".
Additionally, he is trying to convince DD and DS that they should move to Hawaii to live with him. The kids said they think he is just trying to get out of paying child support and they don't trust for one second that he would actually take care of them because he never has. Last time he was in town and visited with the kids the visit sent DS into a full blown anxiety attack and DS said that he never wanted to see his dad again. Months later he maintains this position. He has even asked me and DH what we have to do to terminate his dad's parental rights and let DH adopt him.
We just found out that EX is coming on town in a few months for his sister's wedding. Just hearing that got DS all worked up.
Thanks for letting me vent. I would be happy to hear comments, suggestions, even just similar stories!

Do you have a court order of any sort? I certainly would not make them see him under those conditions.
I myself have a difficult ex...not as difficult as yours but difficult enough. He basically just pretends our son doesn't exist. But it's only been going on for about..6 months. But I can see it going on for years. He has always been kind of a lazy dad..he started off okay but then became worse and worse. He even missed birthday calls and a birthday party that his MOM (not him) threw for our son. I have been emailing him reminding him he still has a son just to show the courts that I am the one trying.
I've got sort of a similar situation. My ex moved away a short time after we split, for no apparent reason. He wasn't seeing the kids at that point because there was a no-contact order in place (he assaulted our son) but he could have at any time gone to court and gotten supervised visitation.He chose to run away instead. Things were pretty good for about 5 years, aside from showing up of 3 counseling sessions (too expensive to continue, according to him) with the kids 2 years after the split, he was absent.
They had basically gone through all the stages of grief you'd expect with a death, they were 'over' him and wanted to be adopted by their step dad, too. I went to court to get sole guardianship (which I got) but he showed up with his girlfriend and the judge literally said "We've got to get you seeing your kids. " the second she walked out into the court room. That was in the spring about a year and a half ago... since then he's been in and out of their lives, playing emotional mind games with them, showing extreme favouritism to our daughter at times and ignoring them both at others. I will only speak to him via email because he will lie and twist what's been said (he still tries but he can't get away with it when I can copy & paste)
At first the kids thought he was wonderful, now my son goes back and forth between saying he doesn't want to see his birth dad and getting excited about the visits. He gets very anxious because of XH's temper, rightfully so. I fully expect them to come home from a visit with marks on them some day. My daughter is usually positive about the visits but she sees them as an opportunity to milk him for all he's worth, it's like a game for her to get him to spend as much money on her as she can. She talks very little about her birth dad. They usually come home somewhat disappointed in the visit.
My prediction now is he'll do his Christmas visit and then drop off the radar again for several months. He has missed every one of my son's birthdays so far (January) and made a big deal for my daughters (June) They are just starting to let their guard down, so it's about time for him to dump them again.

The former Kaitaia Business Association vice president had faced 17 sex charges, mostly against juvenile boys. However police laid five fresh charges against him today.
The bail application hearing had been underway for about an hour when Taylor collapsed. The hearing is expected to continue after he receives medical treatment.
In a separate case, former Pamapuria School deputy principal James Parker, 37, is due to appear later today on dozens of charges of sexually abusing boys.
He originally pleaded guilty to 49 charges and was due to be sentenced today. But police say that is unlikely to go ahead because he is now appearing on 23 new sexual abuse charges.

Profits Through Publicity
Probably each of the four men who are to discuss this subject have many ideas in common concerning the value of publicity. However, we all know that there are many ways of getting publicity and we may not agree as to the best type of publicity or how to secure it. Nevertheless, the fundamental fact remains that publicity of the right kind pays dividends. It is the proud boast of the Company which I represent that if you were to stop 100 people on the main streets of Seattle and ask them the name of the principal cemetery in our town, 80 of them would say "Washelli" and the other 20 would be divided between the other proper¬ties of Seattle and those who did not know. This gratifying result has not been obtained by hit or miss methods, nor has it been a mushroom growth of just a few years. Systematic publicity is the answer. Washelli is over 50 years old, it having been established the same year that Wash¬ington became a state. Every time there is a celebration by the State of some anniversary connected with the date of statehood we tie Washelli right into the proposition. For instance, last year was the 50th anniver¬sary and the Washington State Progress Commission had 50th anniversary programs all over the State. So we had one also and all through the year we kept informing the people that 30 years of Washington and Washelli were being celebrated simultaneously. We had a well-known poet write a poem on 50 golden years of marriage and we have presented hundreds of copies to couples who were celebrating their 50th anniversary anywhere in the West.
We have three properties in the same vicinity, each one operating under its own name although the properties are owned by one company and operated as a unit. This makes it more difficult to secure publicity which pays. It is necessary to impress on the public mind the name and location of your property. We had three at the same location so we picked the name which was most distinctive and have majored it in our advertis¬ing of all kinds. The word "Washelli" is distinctive. Therefore, on our radio programs we feature the Washelli Quartet. Washelli lawn seed is sold by one of the principal seed merchants of Seattle. Easter Sunrise services are sponsored "at Washelli" by the Seattle Council of Churches. In Washelli is held the principal service of Veterans on Memorial Day.
All of these things produce much publicity for Washelli to the neglect of Evergreen and the Pacific Lutheran Cemeteries. But we do not mind this in the slightest. If we can get people out to see Washelli we can take them to Evergreen and the Lutheran Cemeteries. However, we do not ignore the other two properties but endeavor to keep them before the public. In the Lutheran Cemetery we have a special Memorial Day service for all Lutherans who are buried there. No.1-We have a moving picture film showing practically all the Lutheran churches in Seattle and in the film many pictures of the Lutheran Cemetery. This film is in demand with the Lutheran people and it has been presented in the main church auditoriums taking the place of the regular Sunday eve¬ning service. Also it has been shown at many ladies' aid societies, etc. We have another version of the film which shows the Veteran's section of Washelli and activities in it on Memorial Day. This film is shown to veteran organizations. We are also preparing a film of Evergreen which will be used in connection with other Protestant churches.
Previously I mentioned briefly the Easter Sunrise service held in Washelli. If the theme of immortality means anything at all, the proper place to hold the Easter Sunrise service is in the cemetery. This year we had our 11th Easter Sunrise service, bringing thousands of worshippers to the Cemetery at dawn. While a large percentage of those in attendance have friends or relatives in one of our cemeteries a considerable number are attracted there for the first time each year. A deep sense of religion characterizes all of these meetings. We have never permitted in that service anything which distracts from the religious significance of it. If you do not have an Easter Sunrise service in your town, start one next year. You will be surprised at the way the newspapers give it front page publicity which you could not possibly buy with your dollars. On the morning following Easter, our daily papers usually carry on the front pages pictures of the two Easter Sunrise services held in our city which are sponsored by the Council of Churches. They also carry a description of the services and a synopsis of the sermons. As a result of this Easter Sunrise service and of the Memorial Day service we have, the name of "Washelli" has appeared on the front page of our daily newspapers hundreds of times. You must agree with me that publicity of this kind pays.
There is another form of publicity which is of equal importance to that of newspaper or radio. I refer to the publicizing of the people who are prominent in your organization. No.2-In my judgment social publicity is not of any value. But there are other forms of publicity for the heads of your business which are productive of good results from a best stand¬point. I refer to an active participation in the civic affairs of your com¬munity. I am not so much interested in partisan politics as I am in activities such as Boy Scouts, Campfire Girls, P.T.A., your symphony orchestra and your art museum and the many other organizations which have as their object either character building or the betterment of your community. Most high grade funeral directors take an active interest in all these community matters and look upon it as one of their best means of publicity for business connections.
Our radio program, now in, its 7th year has developed to the point where those taking part in it are in demand for entertainment at churches, lodges and many other places where they bring the message of Washelli and Evergreen along with their entertainment. This kind of publicity cannot be spasmodic but must be continuous and of a character which will reflect favorably on your institution. This program is an example of a specific job accomplished by constant repetition, to wit, overcoming feeling that our prices were higher because of superior beauty.
No. 3-The best kind of publicity is "one friend tells another" so publicity can be materially aided by making friends through better service to all. No. 4-Recognize the principle of repetition in publicity. "It's the constant drip of water that wears away the hardest stone. It's the constant gnaw of Towser that wears away the toughest bone."
This is how repetition helps in publicity. In obit stories in daily, weekly and all other publications, not the paid obituary but the news stories in the editorial column. Supply the information about each deceased, accurate and well written, always including place of burial. Papers are glad to have it and in appreciation for sending it, invariably include place of interment.
Send to all papers wherever any kind of tie-in is possible. For in¬stance, if a man lives in one district but works in another, send to district paper where he works, as well as where he lives. Send also to district papers where relatives live; to the papers of the lodges with which he is affiliated; to papers in district where he formerly lived. Be sure that the particular tie-in is apparent near the very beginning of the news story, or else it might hit editorial waste basket. Sometimes a little note to the editor explaining it will help.
No. 5-All these tie-ins can be uncovered through the use of "His¬torical Record" which also are a valuable aid for prospects for "before need" sales (other branches of family, pall bearers, etc.). One of the problems in publicity for profit is keeping bad publicity out. This can be done by maintaining friendly relations with editors. They'll give you a fair break.
Finally, your publicity should be directed towards the class of people who are more or less the backbone of our nation, the solid, substantial middleclass. I am not interested in advertising Evergreen and Washelli to the very rich or the extremely poor. No. 6-I want the best of that great mass of so-called middle-class of people. They are the ones who create the memorial of love and affection, they are the supporters of the churches and they are the ones who help us create beautiful cemeteries because of their abiding faith in immortality.
No. 1: Incidentally, at that service we read the names of all Lutherans ho have been buried in that cemetery during the past year. That list runs anywhere from 125 to 175 Lutherans in the year and it doesn't take too long and it pays to read the list, at your Memorial Day service:
No. 2: Now neither of the other speakers have mentioned this phase of it, yet I think it is a very important thing.
No. 3: Speaking of that particular job, because we feel our radio program has done that unusually well, many people thought because we had developed our properties far beyond that of any other cemeteries in our locality that our prices must necessarily be much higher. We overcame that by constant repetition on the radio by saying prices were as reasonable as in any other cemetery.
No. 4: If we can get the people whom we serve to go to their friends and say, "My, but we had a nice service at Evergreen or Washelli. Wasn't everything beautiful and handled in the best manner, possible!" That is the best kind of publicity you can get.
No. 5: For instance, if a man in one district works m another district, I would send it both to the local papers in the two districts. I would send it to the district papers where relatives live, to the papers of the lodges with which he might be affiliated, to papers where he formerly lived. In other words, get the publicity concerning the death and burial of that man in just as many mediums as possible.
No. 6: Now just briefly about one problem of publicity. That is the problem of keeping bad publicity out. There is only one way to do that. That is to keep on friendly terms with your newspaper editors and pub¬lishers. Meet them and know them, get acquainted with them. Then if some bad publicity comes up, they are going to consult with you before it is printed and if untrue or unfair it will not be run.
For a dozen years I have entertained newspaper reporters and editors with a week-end party up at the place I own on Whitby Island, in the State of Washington. We go up there and have a grand and glorious time. They will give you a fair break, if you keep on friendly relations with your newspaper men.
Now finally your publicity must be directed toward the class of people who are the backbone of our nation that great middle class of people, just like you and me, who are predominant in numbers in using our cemetery properties and who are the real people to whom we must look for our business. I don't care much about selling the wealthiest of our people. I don't care much about selling the poorest of our people. In neither case are the relations apt to be the most satisfactory. But I want to sell that great mass of the so-called middle class of people.
CHAIRMAN HATTEN: I might ask Mr. Harley if the funeral directors most of whom furnish this publicity service along an obituary nature if they resent your stepping into that field.
MR. HARLEY: Apparently not. In fact, I talk to them very frankly and tell them I think when they are sending a story to the newspapers they should include the place of Interment, saying that is just of as much interest to the public, who read the stories, as the place where the funeral, is going to be held, and it is. We have had many, many telephone calls from people concerning the burial of some particularly well-known man or woman, where the interment place was not mentioned in the news article and they have called us up to find out where the burial was going to take place.
CHAIRMAN HATTEN: Do you have many services in your chapel?
MR. HARLEY: None at all.
MR. SANGER: I would like to ask Clint, how far you have been able to kill that idea of "too expensive" – "with all this beauty the price is over our head". How do you kill that in addition to using the radio?
MR. HARLEY: In our advertising - radio, newspapers, booklets, word of mouth - we emphasize the fact that prices in modern cemeteries are no higher than the ill-kept property which does not have modern conveniences, modern aspects. It is a question of constant repetition all the time.
MR. J. T. SHEA (Houston, Texas): Mr. Chairman, does the under¬taker prefer to have the funeral conducted in his parlor and don't they resent families going to the chapels? Don't they miss bringing the families into their place of business?
MR. HARLEY: We do not have any services in our chapel. The serv¬ices are all held either in a funeral home or at the grave.
CHAIRMAN HATTEN: We will take that question up in the general discussion, John. Anything else?
MR: L. O. MINEAR (Washington): I would like to ask Mr. Harley if in his advertising, where he is trying to build up the thought that his property isn't too high, he uses the price of the property. Do you quote prices?
MR. HARLEY: No, we do not.
CHAIRMAN HATTEN: Anyone else?
MR. WORK (Clinton, Iowa): I use the name of my employees in the "display advertising frequently. They have many friends and it is very helpful to use their names. We say, "Ask for Mr. So-and-so when you come to the park."
MR. HARLEY: I think it would be helpful.
CHAIRMAN HATTEN: Anyone else?
MR. GEORGE YOUNG (Dallas): You have a Veterans' Plot don't you?
MR. HARLEY: Yes, sir.
MR. YOUNG: How large is that plot and what do you call it?
MR. HARLEY: We call it "Veterans Memorial Cemetery" and it is large enough to take about 4,000 burials.
MR. YOUNG: In it do you permit the other members of their families or just the veterans?
MR. HARLEY: Just the veterans alone.
MR. YOUNG: Do you have an adjoining section?
MR. HARLEY: We have an adjoining section in which we put the veterans' families on a considerably larger plan.
CHAIRMAN HATTEN: How do you like the plan?
MR. HARLEY: It works.
MR. CHESTER SPARKS (Philadelphia): Did you have to give the veterans a lot free?
MR. HARLEY: We didn't give them any free sites except a place big enough for them to put a chapel, a circle 24 feet across.
MR. SPARKS: We will call you a miracle man.
MR. HARLEY: We didn't give to a man and they pay for every burial and I have 700 burials in this plat started three years ago.
MR. YELLAND (Norwalk, Conn.): Is the plot more expensive than in the outlying section? May I say one more thing in explaining the question, which might seem to be impertinent? In our case the outlying sections are mostly country cemeteries that are beautiful but are also very much cheaper. We would have a difficult time in saying as you say.
MR. HARLEY: I am referring to comparable property inside the city. I am not referring to the country cemeteries. In fact, we have very few of them. We are just youngsters. We are not 400 or 500 years old, like you fellows. I don't know where you live. The first baby that ever lived in Seattle just died a mature man the other day, this year, so you can see how young a town we are.
MR. J. T. FREES (Atlantic City): Clint, concerning your Memorial Circle - we have an All-Wars Circle in our park and when we first started out in 1928, I wrote a letter to all the American Legion camps in our section and told them that we were rendering a service to any soldier that had served his country in time of war if he died without a place, had no relatives, no friends, no money, we would bury him in this circle with¬out any cost whatever. We have about 15 burials we have made or prob¬ably 18 in that circle that have cost us $30.00 every time we made a burial because we brick-line the grave and stone-cover it. We have found that has made the people in Atlantic City think we are rendering a service that nobody ever thought of, and it has brought us back a hundredfold.
MR. HARLEY: That is good publicity. When I said we never gave the Veterans anything - I am a veteran myself, and I think one of the damnable things of the American nation at the present time is the fact that the Veterans are always demanding something extra for themselves over and above the rest of the people. I am a veteran and I can get up and say that. I think it, is rotten. I think a veteran should not be entitled to more than any other man or woman who has raised a family in this country. We charge the veterans just the same. I say to them, just as I say to every minister and every organization, "if you have somebody in your circle of friends that has died and has no place to go, you can come to Evergreen or Washelli and we won't charge you a cent." I don't care whether he is a veteran or not. We do that right along.

ICANN makes major announcements that affect much of the domain registrar and registry ecosystem.
I've received some long myICANN.org daily briefings since they started but this morning's email is by far the longest.
Here's a quick run down of the big ICANN news out today. More analysis will follow.
1. The new Registrar Accreditation Agreement has been approved by the board.
This has major implications for both the new TLD program and registrars who sell existing gTLDs. More analysis to come.
2. Closed generic top level domains are currently on ice.
The Board's New gTLD Program Committee passed a resolution that puts any contracting with applicants for closed generic TLDs on ice. It's possible that this won't amount to much, or even delay these bids. It just means ICANN is agreeing to discuss the issue with the GAC.
3. Plurals are OK.
The New gTLD Program Committee has also determined that it will allow singular and plural versions of the same top level domain, e.g. .car and .cars.
More to come.

i have a vector like this:
x_x =
1.0e+002 *
Columns 1 through 3
1.000000000000000 -0.953406571178785 -1.542839603993645
Columns 4 through 5
-2.146721794700071 -3.268216911140570
now i say:
if any(x_x < 2.5) && any(x_x > -5)
do something: A
do something else: B
why does the program always do A??
i just want it to do A if some value inside x_x is between -5 and 2.5!
i really dont understand....
any help is appreciated..
thank you in advance
The 'any' operator is true if any element of a vector is a nonzero number or
is logical 1 (TRUE). As written, your loop tests the entire array and not
each element, so the result is always 'true' since x_x contains an element
that is <2.5 and also one that is >-5.
To fix:
for i=1:numel(x)
if x_x(i) < 2.5 && x_x(i) > -5
do something: A
do something else: B

Hello Josh, thank you for your answer!
The problem stands...
imagine that:
x_x =
1.0e+002 *
Columns 1 through 3
1.000000000000000 -0.953406571178785 -1.542839603993645
Columns 4 through 5
0.02146721794700071 -3.268216911140570
the 4th (for i = 4) value is inside the range that i want, but then it continues for i=5 which is not inside the range... so it will do B...
how can i do this?
thank u *

Well, what would be the problem as written (altho I'd likely use CASE
instead of IF here...)
>> for i=1:length(x_x)
if (x_x(i)>-5) & (x_x(i)<2.5)
Looks like exactly what you asked for to me...

In reply to Amish Nishawala's post on Sun 11 Jul 2010 :
If you search posts for "7D" you'll get lots of technical advice from this board. You might also want to look at the Canon T2i which is less money for the body and pretty much the same video quality. It is a lighter camera body but in your case that might be a plus. It does shoot absolutely beautiful footage but do your research before you commit--the biggest issue is that 12 minutes is the longest single take you can shoot. The camera reboots pretty quickly but you'll have to restart the camera frequently.
But again--search this board and the web and you'll get all kinds of technical feedback.
When and where will you be in India? Me and my small crew leave on Tuesday--also for a doc shoot in India. Maybe we'll cross paths.

|Ersan Ilyasova, PF 41 MIN | 9-17 FG | 0-0 FT | 6 REB | 6 AST | 3 STL | 0 BLK | 1 TO | 19 PTS | -6
Ilyasova shook awake a sleepy start and played a magnificent 2nd quarter. He parlayed a rare speed advantage (against Spencer Hawes, who started at power forward) into ball pressure, charges drawn, on-ball pressure, a steal, and lots of open jumpers. He even baited Hawes into a technical foul with one savvy charge drawn. For the first time this season, he looked like good ol' Ers.
|Caron Butler, SF 36 MIN | 13-22 FG | 8-11 FT | 8 REB | 3 AST | 3 STL | 0 BLK | 4 TO | 38 PTS | -7
After three games near the 80-point mark, the Bucks got 102 points in regulation in part because their leading scorer had 38 all by himself. Lots of smooth finishing at the rim propelled him to 17 first-half points. In the fourth quarter he pushed the Bucks to a lead by sandwiching two long jumpers around getting fouled on a three-point shot. That triggered a 16-point, fourth quarter supernova. Butler also grabbed 8 rebounds. There's still hope that a Butler-Ilyasova-Sanders starting frontline might not get crushed on the defensive glass. Unfortunately, every other frontcourt combination Larry Drew has tried this season has.
|Zaza Pachulia, C 34 MIN | 3-8 FG | 1-1 FT | 6 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 7 PTS | +3
Maybe it will get better when he's in the game against backups, but Pachulia's inability to elevate is a real issue. He just can't get up in the air. As a result, shots near the rim that should be rather easy become tough, contested attempts — often misses. He went 1-6 on shots in the paint, while also passing up shots and turning the ball over trying to find daylight to squeeze off a shot. Lack of elevation also means he doesn't contest/block shots.
|Luke Ridnour, PG 34 MIN | 1-7 FG | 1-2 FT | 4 REB | 9 AST | 2 STL | 0 BLK | 3 TO | 4 PTS | +3
Opposing starting point guard Michael Carter-Williams had 12 points, 11 assists, 8 rebounds, 5 steals, and a block.
|O.J. Mayo, SG 36 MIN | 3-12 FG | 3-4 FT | 0 REB | 8 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 0 TO | 9 PTS | -5
Mayo had 8 assists and 0 turnovers. When driving to the rim or in transition, he kept his eyes open for players in position to finish at the rim or draw a foul. In overtime he tried to look for his own shot (0-4 FG), a shot that had escaped him for most of the night. He wasn't any great shakes on defense either.
|Ekpe Udoh, PF 12 MIN | 3-5 FG | 0-0 FT | 2 REB | 0 AST | 0 STL | 1 BLK | 2 TO | 6 PTS | -2
I was going to joke that we should nickname Udoh as "Lord Kelvin", because he's an absolute zero on offense. Then he made two open midrange jump shots in the early part of the fourth quarter and now I have to retract that joke.
|John Henson, PF 19 MIN | 2-4 FG | 1-2 FT | 3 REB | 1 AST | 0 STL | 3 BLK | 0 TO | 5 PTS | -12
If there's a difference between the way John Henson played last season vs. this season, it lies in his improvement as a help defender. When his teammates get beat out on the perimeter, he now gets over in time to contest shots at the rim. He showed this new skill multiple times in Philly. He blocked three shots and got shortchanged by the scoring table on another. On the other hand, he again got bumped away from defensive rebounds far too easily.
|Nate Wolters, PG 18 MIN | 3-5 FG | 1-2 FT | 1 REB | 4 AST | 0 STL | 0 BLK | 2 TO | 7 PTS | -3
He didn't look significantly worse or better than Ridnour. He hit one of three jump shots and finished his other two shots in the paint. I would still personally give him more minutes because he's the closest thing the Bucks have at the moment as a threat to dribble in the paint and finish a shot there.
|Giannis Antetokounmpo, DNP-CD
Yes, Butler was great, but I miss Giannis.
|Larry Drew
Up by three points in the final moments of regulation, the Bucks only needed to prevent a three-pointer to walk away with a win. He should have used his best defenders. Instead, he used a bad defender playing on a sore foot: Gary Neal. After a switch, Spencer Hawes buried a three-pointer over him. Maybe it had no impact on the play, but that's not a good choice.
Three Things We Saw
- The Bucks forced 26 turnovers, but allowed the 76ers to shoot 57% from the field. Woof.
- The Bucks yielded 10 offensive rebounds, and only got 22 defensive rebounds themselves. Spencer Hawes got an offensive rebound while lying on his back, which is the kind of thing you do in your world domination game.

Just yesterday Sherdog.com reported that Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira had told them that he was 100 percent recovered from his arm injury suffered at the hands of Frank Mir. Nogueira – AKA "Minotauro"- appears to be on tap to fight Dave Herman (1-2, UFC) at UFC 153 in Rio de Janiero, Brazil on October 13th. Globo TV in Brazil said sources close to the event have confirmed verbal agreements are in place for the bout.
According to the article, Nogueira vs Herman will be the 3rd event on the main card. No announcement has been made yet as to who will be the main or co-main event.
Herman hasn't won since making his UFC debut against Jon Olav Einemo at UFC 131 for which he earned Fight of the Night honors. He's since faced Stefan Struve and Roy Nelson and was knocked out by both men.
Minotauro (4-3, UFC) hasn't been back to the Octagon since Frank Mir snapped his arm in a kimura submission at UFC 140. He was linked to at UFC 149 bout against Cheick Kongo, but had to withdraw because his arm was not fully healed. With Vitor Belfort and Jose Aldo off of the main card, Brazil will be sure to be root for Nogueira against Herman. At UFC 134, Nogueira made his return to his native land to fight and knocked out Brendan Schaub in the 1st round earning Knockout of the Night honors.

RULES preventing schools across the borough and beyond from carrying emergency asthma inhalers look set to be revised after MP Margot James highlighted fears the ban could put lives at risk.
The Stourbridge MP spoke out in August against a policy change which led to schools in Dudley and across the country being told they could no longer keep generic inhalers on the premises for use by any pupil suffering an asthma emergency.
Ms James met with representatives from Dudley Council, Dudley Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG), Asthma UK, Dudley schools and a former borough asthma nurse after being contacted by concerned parents.
She also wrote to Lord Howe, Health Minister responsible for the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA).
And now following a meeting with Lord Howe earlier today (Tuesday) health chiefs now look set to recommend a U-turn on the policy - and the ban on keeping generic inhalers in schools could be overturned in less than six months.
Ms James said: "We had a very good meeting with Lord Howe.
"The Commission on Human Medicines, which Lord Howe instructed to investigate the matter of asthma inhalers in schools earlier this year, will recommend regulations be changed.
"I am delighted health ministers have acted quickly in response to concerns expressed to me by parents of children with asthma in Stourbridge, who contacted me at the end of last year when schools were suddenly instructed not to permit the use of a general asthma inhaler in the case of a child who suffered an attack and didn't have access to his or her inhaler.
"This ruling was in accordance with the letter of the law, but in reality children with asthma were safer when Dudley was technically in breach of the law - prior to new rules sent to schools last year."
A six-week consultation will now follow but it is expected that the regulations will be amended and schools will be permitted to stock a generic inhaler by March next year.
Ms James added: "I received an assurance from Lord Howe that he would fast track the recommendation in to law."
The MP previously told the News she was concerned the policy was "putting young people at serious risk of a medical emergency and even death".
The armed forces, RNLI and mountain rescue teams are exempt from the regulations - and Ms James said schools should be too.
In certain areas school chiefs took matters into their own hands and continued to hold a spare inhaler for emergency use.
Dudley education bosses, however, did not - and instead encouraged parents to ask their GP to prescribe a second inhaler to keep at school.
Rowena Jeremy, whose eight-year-old son Owen died at Russells Hall Hospital after suffering an asthma attack at Wordsley's Fairhaven Primary School, is among those who have been calling for the law to be changed.
She said: "An asthma attack can become life threatening very quickly, so ensuring a school has a spare inhaler will mean that all children can be treated promptly and will reduce the chance of the attack becoming more serious.
"I am delighted the MHRA look set to change the regulations, and believe this policy change will greatly increase the levels of confidence parents have in a school's ability to deal with an asthma attack."

LXer: Five reasons 2012 was a great year for Linux
Published at LXer:
The end of the year is always a good time to take stock of where things stand in any niche or field, and Linux is no exception. There's no doubt that there have been challenges for the free and open source operating system over the course of 2012the Secure Boot challenge comes immediately to mindbut so, too, have there been numerous successes. All in all, I believe the good has outweighed the bad for Linux this past year. Here are five specific reasons.

Would you take your child out of school early.....
To bring her to watch her sister perform in her school musical? My older dd's show premiers today and the show starts at 3:30. It takes us an hour to get there so we have to leave at 2:30 the latest to be there on time. my younger dd (6th grade) Doesnt get out today until 3pm. Well she is suppose to have practice till 4:30. I'm taking her out of school at 2pm so that she can have time to drop off her bookbag and then we are headed to my other dd's show. I'm not asking if I should cause I already decided. Just wondering if others would as well.
**Update i took her out yesterday but it was closer to 2:20 when we left. When i got there they were going over some work so i waited till they were done. the show was great and she had a blast. These are some of the pics.
younger dd is in the middle and older dd is in front with the blue shirt and blue phone.
and my dd's fav pic of her and the boy who played Conrad Biridie. (the show was bye bye birdie) She had a huge crush
My Mom took me out for various reasons. As long as my grades were up & I got the homework from the classes I would be missing, she took me out.
I took my SS out of school early to take him to a Metalica concert with me, so...... yeah i would
I don't take public school too seriously.

From where to learn SQL necessry to create a website.
Hi anupam,
Creating a website is a very broad topic and one for which SQL is not always necessary.It would help if you could do a little research (e.g. https://www.google.com/search?q=how+do+I+create+a+website), then come back with a specific question.
In the meantime, thread closed.

gunsmoke - He is obviously 16 years old.
Big_cigar, there's something wrong with him, or her, but whatever it is I ain't crazy about it. Better to ignore the post it made and just move on and I don't mean .org.;)
Well fellas. Best of luck to you. I mean that, sincerely. Myself, I would just leave, but those of you that decide to stay and fight, you have my prayers and admiration. Best of luck at the gun show. Hopefully they put every cent on the dollar to the election campaign of those who are going to throw those bums out of office...
I just had to jump through hoops. I was having a Springfield EMP 40 cal that I bought before the ban and was being delivered today rerouted to my FFL friend in Florida. Total BS from Albany making legal guns and legal people go crazy to conduct normal business. We need to vote these people out.
Republicans could have stopped this easily and now they're shaking, cause they know that we know what they did. Now when they come around election time those who voted for this can shove their money grubbing hands up their butts instead of putting it out for a donation.
So at least in NY there's few that we can back with any confidence. I hope a list of the treasonous SOB's are published as well as those members of the senate who tried to stop it. NY really does stink.

Hi Folks
Surely in this day and age we can do better than that.
Surely in this day and age we can do better than that.
I think it's fantastic your volunteering to do all the work to make it 'better'. Please let me know when you've implemented a 'better' version so we can all critique it.
I think what has been done is a fantastic start and kudos to all involved, if there are a few minor issues (width), then I hope someone (with CSS / design skills I do not have) is able to help by submitting patches.
Wow, that was helpful. Well done.
