LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Christians have told CNN that they are afraid to pray because of the harsh Islamic laws that blanket the nation. Indeed, pews remain largely empty and prayer is becoming an act of public defiance in a state that is willing to enforce conversion to Islam with the death penalty.
If there has been any notion that Islam is a religion of peace and that it is merciful and benevolent, the behavior of adherents to Sharia law undo those apologetics.
Preserve the Heartbeat of the Family support Mariam Ibrahim with prayer!
It may be true there is a small "Christian Taliban" around the world, made of Christians who would like to impose similar sanctions on people, but these people are fringe elements, far outside of the Christian mainstream, and well-restrained by the law, they are not permitted to act upon their extreme beliefs.
However, many nations in Asia and Africa have adopted Sharia law as the rule and enforce it to varying degrees of severity. In fact, Sharia law is on the advance, most recently being imposed in Brunei.
In Sudan, the religion of peace threatens any person who may have been Muslim, or whose father was Muslim, from practicing Christianity. For others, whose Christian faith is legal, the fear that a public prayer or a message of Christian encouragement could be interpreted as proselytizing is real.
Infamously, there sits on death row Mariam Ibrahim, 27, who remains shackled with her two children behind bars. She has been given two years to nurse her baby, after which time she will be flogged with 100 lashes, then hanged until dead for the crime of being a Christian and refusing to convert to Islam.
A worldwide plea for her release has yielded nothing. It is unknown if there are other Christians in Sudan who face a similar plight, but it is likely.
Despite the condemnations, the nations of the world still do brisk business with Sudan, primarily buying oil from the country. The United States continues to do business with these outer countries as well. Without any kind of sanction beyond condemning letters signed by heads of state, the Sudanese government has very little compulsion to change its ways. Instead, timidity in the face of Islamic militancy only inspires further aggression out of those who would impose Sharia law on the world.
Islam is not a religion of peace as long as it holds entire populations in thrall, condemning people to death for nonviolent expressions of mainstream faiths. Sharia Muslims do not face such severe penalties in other countries.

Life beating back through Lafourche's main vein
Published: Wednesday, September 3, 2008 at 6:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, September 4, 2008 at 1:34 a.m.
MATHEWS -- Signs of recovery began pulsing through Lafourche Parish Wednedsay as retail stores sold what items they could to residents and National Guard troops distributed free food, water and ice at a Wal-Mart parking lot.
Meanwhile crews began cutting trees to prepare for repair of downed power lines near Thibodaux.
No matter how long the lines or how hot homes without air conditioners became, residents of communities all over the parish said they were grateful Hurricane Gustav did not cost local lives and that property damage in many cases was limited.
"I was just ready to be home," said Nat Alario, a shrimp shed worker from Lockport, as he inched his auto toward the parking lot area where troops loaded up essentials.
The line for goods stretched for more than a mile at some points. Because of traffic problems created by the queue officials said the ice, food and water distribution will be held Thursday at the Lafourche Recreation Center off of La. 308 in Raceland, which will allow for better traffic configuration.
In Lockport on La. 1 shoppers lined up outside Frank's Supervalue market, where clerks allowed them in a few at a time to buy essentials.
Meats and other perishables could not be sold, store managers said. But residents stocked up on dry and canned goods as well as toilet paper, paper towels, and soft drinks. Panicky smokers down to their last cigarettes gratefully purchased their favorite vice by the carton.
Alcohol, per curfew restrictions related to the storm, was not sold.
Residents who fled Gustav were allowed back into Lafourche Wednesday beginning at 4 p.m.
A steady flow of traffic kept the parish's main artery, La. 1, busy into nightfall. But no major traffic problems were reported other than at the distribution center.
Signs that work will begin on electric lines were evident on one Lockport street where crews from Alabama Power lined up trucks and other heavy equipment to begin restoring service.
Officials maintain that in many parts of the parish, electric-service restoration might take two weeks or more.

This invention relates to a protective circuit for series connected semiconductor devices.
This invention is for an improvement on the general circuit arrangements shown in Canadian Pat. No. 959,120-Harnden, Jr., issued Dec. 10, 1974 to General Electric Company. In that patent there is described a circuit with two semiconductor devices, such as thyristors, connected in series across a voltage source, and a metal oxide varistor connected in parallel with each of the semiconductor devices. The metal oxide varistors have a nonlinear resistance characteristic that is pronounced. The varistors have a high resistance at voltages below a predetermined value and a relatively low resistance to high current conduction occurring at voltages above the predetermined value. It thereby protects the semiconductor devices against transient high voltage peaks.
It has been found that the above arrangement may not provide adequate protection under all circumstances. For example, a large external transient may require a varistor size that is quite large to provide protection. It may require one or two columns of varistors which cannot be designed to be easily integrated with the thyristor switch due to the physical size. Therefore a compromise may be necessary having in mind the likelihood of a sufficiently large external transient occurring and the size and space limitations.
There is another situation where the prior art protection could be inadequate depending on the design. If we consider a thyristor switch in parallel with a varistor in a circuit across a power source, there will normally be inductance in the circuit external to the parallel thyristor switch and varistor. If an external transient surge causes a transient current of say 1000 amperes to flow through the varistor, a voltage will be developed across the varistor and this will be directly across the thyristor switch. This voltage might be perhaps as high as 100 KV (kilo-volts). Now if the thyristor switch should be gated on at this time, perhaps by a misfire or incorrect operation or for any reason, the thyristor may be damaged. The instantaneous voltage across the low thyristor impedance would cause excessive current and excessive rate of change of current.
It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide improved protection for a circuit having series connected thyristors.
It is another object of the invention, to provide improved protection for series connected thyristors in a power system with a metal oxide varistor connected in parallel with each thyristor, by providing a metal oxide varistor connected in parallel with all the series connected varistors.
These and other objects of the present invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon consideration of the following description of the invention.
In accordance with one preferred embodiment of the present invention there is provided a protective arrangement for series connected semiconductor devices, comprising a snubber circuit in parallel with each semiconductor device, a metal oxide varistor connected in parallel with all the series connected semiconductor devices to provide protection against external transients, said metal oxide varistors connected in parallel with each semiconductor device being selected to absorb minimum energy when said another metal oxide varistor is carrying a large current due to an external transient.
In accordance with an alternate embodiment of the present invention there is provided a protective arrangement for series connected semiconductor devices, comprising a snubber circuit in parallel with each said semiconductor device, a metal oxide varistor connected in parallel with each semiconductor device, each said varistor device having a first predetermined conductive voltage rating, an inductance in series with said semiconductor devices, and a metal oxide varistor connected in parallel with said series connected semiconductor devices and said inductor and having a second conductive voltage rating slightly less than the sum of the first predetermined conductive voltage ratings.
The features of the invention believed to be novel are set forth with particularity in the appended claims. The invention, itself, however, both as to its organization and operation, together with further objects and advantages thereof, may best be understood by reference to the following description taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a simplified circuit diagram of a circuit according to the invention, suitable for use in a static VAR compensator circuit, and
FIG. 2 is a graph of surge current plotted against time, useful in describing the invention.
Referring to FIG. 1, there is shown a circuit, in simplified form, suitable for use in one phase of a power system for providing compensation for reactive current. Static compensators of this type are well known in the art. For example, Canadian Pat. No. 1,069,583-Kelley, Jr., issued Jan. 8, 1980 to General Electric Company, and Canadian Pat. No. 1,076,647-Frank, issued Apr. 29, 1980 to ASEA AKTIEBOLAG, show compensators of this general type. In FIG. 1 there is a bi-directional thyristor switch 10 having thyristors or silicon controlled rectifiers (SCRs) 11A, 11B and 11C connected for conduction in one direction and thyristors or SCRs 12A, 12B and 12C connected for conduction in the opposite direction. The number of SCRs connected in series for each direction is determined by circuit design considerations involving the protection level of the varistors to be subsequently discussed and the voltage of the phase, which is the voltage between terminals 14 and 15. While only three SCRs are shown in series, there could be four, five or six depending on these design considerations. It will also be apparent that each of the SCRs 11, 12 which are shown singly, could in fact be a plurality connected in parallel where current handling capacity requires it.
In series with the bi-directional switch 10 is a "tuning" inductor 16 for tuning a capacitor bank 17 to avoid resonances with the AC system and to provide harmonic filtering. The inductor 16 also limits rate of change of current in the thyristors from the external power circuit. The inductor 16 has a relatively small reactance as compared to the reactance of capacitor bank 17. The capacitor bank 17, also in series with switch 10 and inductor 16, is shown only as a single capacitor 17, but it will be understood that it represents a bank of series/parallel connected capacitors sufficient to withstand the phase voltage and provide the desired capacitance.
The present invention may be used in circuits for power systems other than static compensators, however, the invention is particularly suitable for use in static compensators and is being described for such a use.
In parallel with each pair of SCRs 11A/12A, 11B/12B, 11C/12C, is a snubber circuit comprising a series connected resistor 20 and a capacitor 21. Thus, in parallel with SCR 11A and 12A is a series connected resistor 20A and capacitor 21A, and so on. Snubber circuits are known and are connected across semiconductor devices for reducing or "snubbing" the rate of change of a sharply rising voltage transient across the semiconductor. In addition it tends to equalize the voltages across the respective series connected SCRs.
Also connected in parallel with each SCR pair is a metal oxide varistor 22, such as, for example, a zinc oxide varistor. Thus, in parallel with SCR 11A and 12A is a metal oxide varistor 22A, and so on as shown. The metal oxide varistors 22 not only may provide some minor additional snubbing action, but because of their highly non-linear voltage characteristic they provide a clipping action which clips spikes of excessive voltage.
In summary, the snubber circuits and the varistors 22 not only protect the respective SCR against the results of a rapid voltage increase across the SCR and against premature conduction, but also reduce improper operation that might be caused by voltage spikes. However, the size and therefore the rating of the varistors 22 (which can be readily integrated with the thyristor switch) is limited. It is possible that a large current transient would be too great for the varistors 22 to handle.
Referring to FIG. 2, there is shown a current transient curve 23 which momentarily might reach several thousand amperes. For currents which have a high di/dt, as the current approaches zero, a large reverse recovery current is normally experienced as indicated by the curve portion 24. This reverse recovery current might, for example, exceed 1000 amperes. There are several paths that might conduct this current in FIG. 1. One path is through the snubber resistors 20 and capacitors 21. Another path is through SCRs 11A, B and C. Another is through SCRs 12A, B and C. Yet another is through the varistors 22A, B and C. Assume the direction is such that this reverse current is flowing largely through the low resistance path provided by SCRs 11A, B and C. The resistance of the path through the snubbers is comparatively high, perhaps, for example, of the order of 10 ohms per section. The voltage drop across the SCRs 11A, B, and C is relatively small or minimal and the metal oxide varistors 22 are not yet conducting.
It has been found to be difficult to get SCRs or any semiconductive devices with identical characteristics. In practice, the characteristics may differ. The SCRs 11A, B and C may consequently recover at current levels of, for example, between 400 amperes and 800 amperes indicated on FIG. 2 as 24A and 24B respectively. Suppose, for example, that one of the SCRs, say SCR 11B, recovers at 800 amperes with the other two still conducting. Suppose also, for the moment, that varistor 22B is not present, then the voltage across SCR 11B will increase to develop an initial voltage across it which might, for example, approach 800 amperes�10 ohms=8000 volts (the resistance of resistor 20B might be between 10 and 100 ohms), conceivably high enough to damage SCR 11B. The inclusion of varistor 22B will, however, limit the voltage to the protective level of the varistor. Normally the protective level of the varistor is coordinated with the voltage withstand capability of the thyristor.
As is shown in FIG. 1, a larger metal oxide varistor 26 is connected to include the metal oxide varistors 22. The varistor 26 is selected according to the phase voltage. In a normal design procedure, the varistor 26 would be selected first, then the SCRs and then varistors 22. In any case, regardless of the order of selection in design, the varistors 22 are selected to absorb minimum energy when varistor 26 is carrying a large current due to external transients. In other words, an external transient which causes a large current to flow in varistor 26 will cause only a small current in varistors 22. Varistor 26 thus provides the main protection against external surges.
It is preferred to connect the varistor 26 so that it includes the series connection of varistors 22 and the tuning inductor 16. In other words, if the junction of the tuning inductance 16 and capacitor bank 17 is designated as 27, and the junction between varistor 22C, SCR 12C, SCR 11C, resistor 20C and inductance 16 is designated as 28, then it is preferred to connect varistor 26 between terminal 14 and junction 27 as shown rather than between terminal 14 and junction 28. The varistor 26, which may be quite large physically, may be connected between terminal 14 and junction 28, and may be located away from the thyristor switch if desired. Thus it will provide the primary protection against external transients, and will confine external surges to the external loop which it forms. It can be quite large and provide a large energy handling capability. However, this is not the preferred connection for the reasons given hereinafter.
Considering a circuit with varistor 26 connected between terminal 14 and junction 28, and assuming there is an external transient causing a large current through varistor 26, there will be a large voltage across terminal 14 and junction 28. This may cause a smaller flow through the varistors 22A, B and C, but the current will be smaller because they are selected to conduct a lesser current for the three in series, for the same voltage across them. Now, if there should be a simultaneous misfire of thyristor SCR 12A, B and C, the rapid transfer of current from varistor 26 to these thyristors 12A, B and C might damage them. By connecting the varistor 26 between terminal 14 and junction 27, as shown, the tuning inductor 16 is included in the series circuit with thyristors 12A, B and C. The inductance tends to resist the transfer of current under the particular situation outlined above and thus provides additional protection.
It is believed that the arrangement and operation will now be clearly understood.

FCC chairman Kevin Martin once again pushed his controversial argument for cable a la carte, this time at last week's Cable Show in Las Vegas.
"I don't believe subscribers should have to buy Spike TV in order to get Discovery," Martin told cable operators. "Fundamentally, I support consumers' ability to pick and choose the products they want."
Martin argued that a la carte would enable viewers to buy their television channels individually, in smaller bundles, or in the large bundles currently offered. "This issue has become even more important as the number of channels included in expanded basic, and the corresponding price to consumers, has continued to skyrocket. Expanded basic rates have almost doubled since 1996."
In order not "to incite a riot here this afternoon," Martin spared the operators detail, but argued that that a la carte approaches have worked well in other countries, such as in Hong Kong and Canada.
For example, Rogers Cable, a Canadian cable operator, offers consumers substantially greater choice and appears to be benefiting financially from this decision. Its net income for every quarter in 2006 appears to have outpaced its net income for those same quarters in 2005.
Kyle McSlarrow, chief of the National Cable & Telecommunications Association (NCTA), strongly opposes Martin's proposal, arguing that less popular channels now survive as a result of program bundling. He also disputed notions that a la carte would in any way reduce TV violence.
However, in a recent interview reported by the Associated Press, McSlarrow said he would not be opposed to a la carte if such a model is driven by the marketplace and not mandated by the government. That could come, he said, if platforms like video-on-demand are successful with subscribers.

Cobb, who ran as the Green Party candidate for Texas attorney general in 2002, lacks the name recognition of former Green presidential candidate Ralph Nader, now running an independent campaign with the help of Republicans. But because pollsters predict an overwhelming Bush victory in Georgia, Cobb hopes left-leaning voters will write in him and running mate Patricia LaMarche rather than vote for Democrats Kerry and Sen. John Edwards. Cobb calls Kerry an elitist and militarist but acknowledges Bush is worse.
If on Nov. 2 the Greens get 42,000 write-in votes -- 1 percent of the registered voters in the state -- the party would earn statewide ballot access in 2006.
Cobb says his candidacy is based on more than concerns for the environment and for peace. "We're not just a party of the left," he says. "We are a party of the left out."


text: Great taste without the waste We want our coffee to leave a lasting impression on you, not our environment. That's why we do everything we possibly can to use sustainable and recyclable products and equipment. Our Cups The secret to a delicious, piping hot cup of take-away coffee is a great cup. And at Costa we make sure ours are eco-friendly too – our paper cups come from card made of sustainable wood pulp from forests in northern Europe, and the lid is 100% recyclable. Whilst our cups are recyclable in a number of locations across the UK, we are working with the wider industry to help ensure our cup can be recycled anywhere in the world. We are also encouraging customers to get more from their daily cup of coffee, by donating 25p to Litter charities across the UK every time a customer uses a reusable cup between 21st June 2016 & 21st of September in our stores. By supporting Litter charities we are helping cut down on waste and create a better environment in Britain. Don't have a reusable cup? Pick one up in store with the profits from the sale of this cup being donated to the Costa Foundation to help the Costa Foundation build schools in coffee growing communities. Our Machines We're always wide-awake and ready to serve you, but our machines don't need to be! Our smart coffee machines go to sleep when they're not needed, which helps towards reducing our carbon emissions. We even recycle all our coffee sacks into carpet underlay. In 2012 this was made official when our team was given the first international environmental accreditation for any Coffee Roastery. Recycling Our coffee roastery is one of the greenest in the world with year on year carbon reduction, an amazing 100% renewable energy supply and 0% waste to landfill. Last year we diverted over seven thousand tonnes of waste and increased our recycling in-store. Many of our stores recycle their organic waste and coffee grounds helping create renewable fuels. Recently we even recycled over three tonnes of unwanted uniforms using our existing delivery lorries to pick up bags of clothes from most of our stores. Our Grounds for Grounds Project At Costa we make the most of every one of our coffee beans. That's why through the Costa Grounds for Grounds project, customers can come into our stores to request our used coffee grounds for free. These grounds can bring your garden to life either as a natural plant fertiliser or to create a naturally balanced compost pile. We hear they are great for fending off snails and slugs too! Pop in to store now to request your grounds and watch your garden flourish! Supporting British Farmers With 95% of our drinks requiring milk, it is essential that we offer high quality milk while supporting the British Dairy industry and safeguarding future British milk supplies. Working in partnership with our dairy processors, our milk comes from cows on farms across England and Wales. All our farms are Red Tractor Assured meaning the animal welfare of our dairy cows is protected and the farms they live on are always safe and operates in an environmentally responsible way. We have built up a good relationship with our suppliers and are committed to maintaining that relationship, ensuring the price we pay is fair, sustainable and reviewed regularly. This ensures we have an end-to-end solution for the supply of milk, from cow to cup. Having a sustainable milk supply allows us utmost traceability in the milk we supply to our stores and we are committed to supporting the British dairy industry and safeguarding future British milk supplies.

Lead is an environmental toxicant of great concern for humans and animals. Lead-induced liver damage and malfunction are partly due to a disturbance of the cellular antioxidant balance. Paraoxonase 1 (PON1) and PON2 are highly expressed in the liver and have been proposed as antioxidative enzymes. In this study, the effects of lead on PON1 and PON2 activities were investigated in human hepatoma HepG2 cells by exposing the cells to various concentrations of lead acetate for 24, 48, or 72 h. The results show that a significant increase in reactive oxygen species was observed even at the lowest concentration of lead treatment. However, only the highest concentration of lead significantly influenced cell viability. Lead had no influence on cell-associated PON1 activity, but it significantly decreased cytoplasmic PON2 activity in a concentration- and time-dependent manner. This reduction was rescued by the addition of calcium. A significant increase of PON2 transcript was observed by real-time polymerase chain reaction, while PON2 protein expression did not change in the western blot analysis. Taken together, these results indicate that lead reduces PON2, but not PON1, activity and that this reduction is reversed by calcium. Lead-induced oxidative stress and decreased PON2 activity lead to the upregulation of PON2 transcript. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Emergency Violin Bridge
by f4ichuck, published
Thing Apps Enabled
Thing Info
A close copy of my wife's violin bridge. Can be used in an emergency. You could be a hero and life saver with this one!
The base will have to be shaped to fit the top of your violin. Print this at 10% fill and it will be 1g heavier than a wooden one.
Use a fine file very lightly to create string guides. Use an old bridge as a reference. These guides don't have to be very deep.
The bass side is higher than the treble side. When installed, the flat side (build platform side) faces the tailpiece and the contoured side toward the fingerboard.

I made six or seven out of PLA on my Prusa i3. Excellent sound quality and has not warped within the last 2 months. Infill was 20% and used Kisslicer for slicing. I am replacing all my violin bridges with these. Only problem is if the finger-board has gone down a little, it would be necessary to print a lower one - sanding down the existing one is quite awkward with 20% infill. An openscad source file would be good.
Have you actually tested this? I highly doubt this will work. The stresses are quite large. Additionally the bridge is important for the sound quality.I think different infill densities might have better/worse sound qualities
If tested please post a video ;)

Argentina Holds Confiscated U.S. Air Force Cargo
Argentina's relations with the U.S. took a sharp turn for the worse Monday as the country continued to hold military equipment it confiscated last week from a U.S. Air Force C-17 transport plane sent as part of a training course for local police.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Arturo Valenzuela, called on Argentina to return the property without delay.
"It's absolutely necessary that they immediately return that material. It makes no sense for it to have been confiscated this way. This material was intended for a joint exercise in training people to rescue hostages," Mr. Valenzuela said Monday on CNN en Espanol.
Argentine Foreign Minister Hector Timerman quickly rebutted Mr. Valenzuela and called on the U.S. to apologize for violating Argentine law.
"I told him, 'Arturo, we have to be careful about this. The laws are made to be followed here and in the U.S. We all need to follow them,'" Mr. Timerman said on CNN en Espanol.
Mr. Timerman accused the U.S. of using the plane to smuggle undeclared firearms, surveillance equipment and "various doses of morphine" into the country for ulterior motives.
He also said that U.S. officials have refused to offer any explanation about the seized material, something State Department officials adamantly deny.
"They refuse to collaborate with us," he said, adding that Argentina has lodged a formal complaint with the U.S. government and will return the cargo only after investigators say they no longer need it.
Mr. Timerman personally supervised the seizure of the cargo at Argentina's Ezeiza International Airport as perplexed U.S. officials looked on.
A State Department official familiar with the seizure told Dow Jones Newswires most of the material, which was intended for use in a hostage-rescue course, had been properly declared and previously approved by Argentine authorities.
The only thing that hadn't been declared was the medication confiscated at the airport, said the official, who asked to remain anonymous because of the delicate nature of the issue.
The medication, including morphine, is part of a first aid kit belonging to an Army medic who participates in the training courses, the official said. The course uses real weapons and live-fire exercises, making it imperative to have medication available in an emergency, the official said.
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said in Washington at a Monday afternoon briefing the U.S. government is "disturbed" about the seizure, and continues to seek explanations from the Argentine government.
Meanwhile, State Department officials say they have tried repeatedly to explain the matter but that Mr. Timerman won't listen.
Relations between Argentina and the U.S. have deteriorated rapidly since U.S. President Barack Obama said in January that he would visit El Salvador, Brazil and Chile next month, skipping Argentina.
Argentine officials reportedly considered Mr. Obama's decision an affront, especially after Argentine President Cristina Fernandez in December blocked a bid by some South American nations to formally condemn U.S. policy amid the WikiLeaks diplomatic cables scandal.
The leaked cables contained unflattering comments about several Latin American leaders, including Ms. Fernandez.
But analysts say Argentina's anti-U.S. rhetoric may be as related to domestic politics as it is to frustration with the U.S. Some see this as a move by Mr. Timerman and Ms. Fernandez to win votes ahead of next October's presidential election.
"They're trying to lure the left with this anti-U.S. position and traditionally this has worked in Argentina," Emilio Cardenas, Argentina's widely respected former ambassador to the United Nations, told Dow Jones Newswires. "It seems to me that this is mostly an electoral move used by someone who does very little as a foreign minister and a lot as pro-government journalist."
Mr. Timerman, who is highly critical of Argentina's media, is a former journalist. He spends much of his day bashing journalists, opposition politicians and critics via Twitter.
The U.S. training team that arrived with the C-17 includes eight special forces officers from Fort Bragg, N.C., and the medic. As the team is also an emergency response unit, it travels with whatever equipment it would need to respond on the fly, the State Department official said.
The U.S. provided a similar training course in August 2009 and tried to repeat it in August 2010. At the time, the Air Force sent another flight to Argentina to prepare for the course, but the U.S. Embassy in Buenos Aires sent it back to the U.S. after discovering that its contents did not match what was ordered for the course.
Earlier this month, Mr. Timerman insinuated that a U.S.-sponsored police training program in El Salvador, the International Law Enforcement Academy, was teaching torture tactics to members of the City of Buenos Aires police force.
The critique was seen as a dig at Mayor Mauricio Macri, who has said he plans to run for president in October.
Meanwhile, city officials and local police noted that Argentina's federal government itself has been sending people to the training program for years.
In January, Mr. Timerman hinted that the U.S. had tried to sell weapons to Argentina and suggested that Mr. Obama may be avoiding Argentina because the South American nation doesn't kowtow to its foreign-policy requests.
Mr. Timerman said relations between the countries are "fluid," but that there are lines with the U.S. that Argentina "should not cross" in areas like arms purchases, military cooperation and free trade.

'Brilliant and terrifying' - "Observer". I had to be the man who was doing well and more than well, the man whose drab shop concealed some bigger operation that made millions. I had to be the man who had planned it all, who had come to the destroyed town at the bend in the river because he had foreseen the rich future. 'Salim, the narrator, is a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast of Central Africa. Salim has left the coast to make his way in the interior, there to take on a small trading shop of this and that, sundries, sold to the natives. The place is 'a bend in the river'; it is Africa. The time is post-colonial, the time of Independence. The Europeans have withdrawn or been forced to withdraw and the scene is one of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation, poverty and a lack of preparation for the modern world they have entered, or partially assumed as a sort of decoration. It is a story of historical upheaval and social breakdown. Naipaul has fashioned a work of intense imaginative force. It is a haunting creation, rich with incident and human bafflement, played out in an immense detail of landscape rendered with a poignant brilliance' - Elizabeth Hardwick. 'Always a master of fictional landscape, Naipaul here shows, in his variety of human examples and in his search for underlying social causes, a Tolstoyan spirit' - John Updike.

'Brilliant and terrifying' Observer Set in an unnamed African country, the book is narrated by Salim, a young man from an Indian family of traders long resident on the coast. He believes The world is what it is; men who are nothing, who allow themselves to become nothing, have no place in it. So he has taken the initiative; left the coast; acquired his own shop in a small, growing city in the continent's remote interior and is selling sundries -- little more than this and that, really -- to the natives. This spot, this 'bend in the river', is a microcosm of post-colonial Africa at the time of Independence: a scene of chaos, violent change, warring tribes, ignorance, isolation and poverty. And from this rich landscape emerges one of the author's most potent works -- a truly moving story of historical upheaval and social breakdown. 'Naipaul has fashioned a work of intense imaginative force. It is a haunting creation, rich with incident and human bafflement, played out in an immense detail of landscape rendered with a poignant brilliance.' Elizabeth Hardwick 'Always a master of fictional landscape, Naipaul here shows, in his variety of human examples and in his search for underlying social causes, a Tolstoyan spirit' John UpdikeFrom the Inside Flap:
First published in 1979, A Bend in the River is a profound and richly observed novel of the politics and society of postcolonial Africa. Salim, a young Indian man, moves to a town on a bend in the river of a recently independent nation. As Salim strives to establish his business, he comes to be closely involved with the fluid and dangerous politics of the newly created state, the remnants of the old regime clashing inevitably with the new. "Naipaul's novels are about the struggle for existence in a world still colonial despite the breakup of the old Western empires," wrote Alfred Kazin.
A Bend in the River is demonstration of V. S. Naipaul's status as one of the world's best novelists. The New York Times Book Review noted: "For sheer abundance of talent there can hardly be a writer alive who surpasses V. S. Naipaul." Elizabeth Hardwick, who has provided a
The Modern Library has played a significant role in American cultural life for the better part of a century. The series was founded in 1917 by the publishers Boni and Liveright and eight years later acquired by Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer. It provided the foundation for their next publishing venture, Random House. The Modern Library has been a staple of the American book trade, providing readers with afford-
able hardbound editions of impor-
tant works of literature and thought. For the Modern Library's seventy-
fifth anniversary, Random House redesigned the series, restoring
as its emblem the running torch-
bearer created by Lucian Bernhard in 1925 and refurbishing jackets, bindings, and type, as well as inau-
gurating a new program of selecting titles. The Modern Library continues to provide the world's best books, at the best prices.

SKB has been a leader in the construction of musical instrument and equipment cases since 1977, and their designs are considered by many pros in the music business to be the best. With that in mind, SKB specializes in a wide range of other accessories as well, and within this selection you'll find more than enough choices. From shelves and drawers to mixer cases and even rack hardware, SKB is dedicated to anyone who has a passion for entertaining an audience, whether you're a metal shredder, budding audio engineer, or an upcoming DJ.
The right cases and accessories for you will come down to your own specific needs (that goes without saying), but you can still make your decision easier by starting with the more popular items. For example, any audio engineer would be happy with the Roto Gig Rig Mixer Rack. Boasting 10 rack spaces on the slant top and 10 on the bottom, and featuring ergonomic handles and first-class panel closures with locks, this mixer rack is an ideal accessory for any live sound technician. While you're at it, check out the SKB10-AC1 Rack Hardware. Containing 12 sets of rack rail clip nuts and bolts, this hardware pack is essential for users of SKB racks.
Or, maybe you're a DJ who wants to hone their craft more comfortably... if so, then the AV Shelf might be just what you're looking for. With its scissor design that allows the shelf to remain connected to an SKB Mighty GigRig or GigSafe while the lid is closed, the sturdy shelf is perfect for laptop computers, projectors, and even monitors. To put it simply, you'll realize why the AV Shelf is one of SKB's best sellers quickly after using it.
When it comes to putting on the show of a lifetime, certain accessories are essential to ensuring everything goes off without a hitch, and obviously your cases and gig bags are some of the most important. After all, you can't just unload and pack up your valuable equipment without keeping it safely guarded. Of course, you don't have to worry about your gear's well-being when you own any of SKB's accessories. In fact, SKB's molded polymer transport cases are even used by the military, so that should give you an indication to how committed they are to the protection of your gear.

House and Senate Reach Agreement on Budget Targets
On Wednesday, House Republicans and Senate Democrats reached an agreement on the funding levels for the FY 2017 budget. The Legislature is limited to spending $7.351 billion out of the General Fund under the state's expenditure limitation law. The budget levels include the additional funding already authorized by the FY 2017 Supplemental School Aid bills, which increased school funding by 2.25 percent.
The FY 2017 budget will be:
In addition to the budget targets, the House and Senate agreed to place certain standing appropriations under the control over the budget subcommittees. Many of these on-going appropriations had not been reviewed for years until a separate subcommittee of the House Appropriations Committee examined the programs in January and February. The funding for the programs had been accounted for under the Standings Appropriations bills. Now, the programs and funding will be turned over to the appropriate budget subcommittee and accounted for in FY 2017 budget. Beginning with the next General Assembly, the budget subcommittees will be conducting oversight and review of the programs.
And Musco Said, Let there be Light!
And light there was, on April 5th at 7:45 at the front of the Capitol, specifically!
On Tuesday April 5th at 7:45 pm in front of the Capitol, Musco Sports Lighting did a demonstration of the new lighting it is proposing to install on the exterior of the Capitol Building. Musco has offered to donate time and equipment to do the outdoor lighting for the Capitol, while the State would only have to pay for the labor on this project. The labor is projected to cost $225,000.
Musco Sports Lighting LLC is a private company based out of Oskaloosa, IA. Some of their projects include: Michigan State University - Munn Ice Arena, Wells Fargo Center, Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Denver Broncos Field House, and USTA National Tennis Center.

Managed Care Launches
Medicaid Modernization launches this week. The new Medicaid system will focus on wellness and preventative care to help patients lead healthier lives, while the old system simply worked to treat diseases as they occurred.
Why the move to Medicaid Modernization?
Bureaucracy and inflexibility has created unsustainable growth in the Medicaid program which threatens the state's ability to fund core functions like education, public safety, and courts. We have done too little to address this in the past. Reform isn't optional, it's imperative.
Over the last several years, spending on Medicaid has skyrocketed and all the while, patients have not become any healthier. The previous Medicaid system did not operate like an efficient system should.
Is managed care a new concept?
39 other states use some form of managed care to deliver healthcare to their Medicaid populations. Additionally, the majority of Medicaid patients across the country have their healthcare delivered through a managed care system. In fact, Iowa has used a form of managed care to deliver healthcare to a portion of the state's Medicaid population since the 1990s.
Going forward
Medicaid Modernization provides the state with an opportunity to control the ever-growing costs of Medicaid and improve patient outcomes. Managed care will continue to preserve all current services for patients. House Republicans are working on legislation to provide oversight on Medicaid that focuses on access, quality of care, and quality of outcomes. If someone needs help navigating the new system, I am ready and willing to assist in any way I can.
Providing a Safe Water Supply for Iowans
House Republicans are committed to protecting our waterways so Iowans can enjoy a safe water supply and a clean natural resource for recreation long into the future. In order to achieve that, we must find a sustainable, long-term funding source to invest in water quality initiatives across the state.
The Iowa Water Quality Improvement Plan proposed by House Republicans would significantly increase the state's investment in a manner that addresses both urban and rural water quality efforts.
The Iowa Water Quality Improvement Plan has dedicated long-term funding sources from both the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF) and the excise tax on metered water.
The Iowa Water Quality Improvement Plan will focus on long-term infrastructure improvements that will reduce the runoff of nitrates and phosphorus into Iowa waterways and reduce soil erosion. These projects will be a public-private partnership, being funded by Iowa farmers, local communities, the state, and other private sources.
House Republicans are offering a plan that secures significant investment for water quality in the state that will preserve this precious resource for generations to come.
