New Nissan Altima Offers Unique Tire Pressure System
- Easy-Fill Tire Alert informs drivers exactly which tire is low on air
- It then uses the Altima's hazard lights and horn to indicate when a tire is full
- The new Altima will be the first vehicle in its segment to use the system
When the fully redesigned 2013 Nissan Altima goes on sale early this summer, it will include one new convenience item that's likely to surprise buyers. Dubbed Easy-Fill Tire Alert, the sedan's tire pressure monitoring system informs drivers when a tire is low on air and then uses the sedan's horn and hazard lights to confirm that the tire has been filled adequately.
According to Nissan, the convenience of the Easy-Fill Tire Alert starts with the Altima's tire pressure monitoring system. That's because the system not only alerts drivers when a tire is low on air but announces exactly which tire is affected, eliminating the guesswork associated with most in-car tire pressure alert systems.
But Easy-Fill Tire Alert's most unique features come once a driver starts filling up a low tire with air. According to Nissan, the system confirms air is going into the affected tire by flashing the sedan's hazard lights. Once the tire has reached its correct pressure, the Altima honks its horn, confirming that the tire is ready to continue driving on. That solves the problem of how to know when to stop filling a tire, a process that usually involves using a tire pressure gauge or repeatedly checking a car's tire pressure warning light. Owners who overfill an affected tire will be met by hazard lights flashing faster than normal, providing a visual cue to stop pumping air.
Easy-Fill Tire Alert is new to the Altima, although Nissan currently uses the system in several other models, including its Quest minivan and the luxurious QX56 from its upscale Infiniti brand. Nissan is currently the only automaker to use the system.
The first examples of Nissan's freshly redesigned, fifth-generation Altima recently rolled off the automaker's Smyrna assembly line in Tennessee. Nissan says the sedan, which goes on sale June 26, will feature a standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine or an available 3.5-liter V6. A version with a hybrid gasoline-electric powertrain is expected to follow closely behind.
What it means to you: The addition of Easy-Fill Tire Alert removes much of the stress that's normally associated with refilling tires.

Dawn RedwoodMetasequoia glyptostroboides
This is an impressive tree by any standard. Of special note is that fossils in northern parts of the United States show that the dawn redwood knew the dinosaurs. It was long thought to be extinct—until it was discovered alive and well in a rural, mountainous area of China.
The dawn redwood is relatively carefree and also fast growing, with one specimen in Virginia having reached 120 feet in 30 years! While the tree's natural range is an area of only about 232 square miles in China, it has been planted successfully around the world.

Upcoming ARISS Contact Schedule as of 2002-02-11 08:00 UTC The ARISS (a joint effort of AMSAT, the ARRL, NASA, the ARISS international partners including Canada, Russia, the European Partners, and Japan) operations team wishes to announce the following very tentative schedule for ARISS school contacts. This schedule is very fluid and may change at the last minute. Remember that amateur radio use on the ISS is considered secondary. Please check the various AMSAT and ARISS webpages for the latest announcements. Changes from the last announcement are noted with (***). Also, please check MSNBC.com for possible live retransmissions (http://www.msnbc.com/m/lv/default.asp).

From: Gene Chapline, K5YFL ARISS Operations ARISS contact with Butte High School, Butte, MT Friday, February 1, 2002. Some tough questions required some thoughtful and detailed answers Friday from astronaut Dan Bursch, KD5PNU. Bursch represented the International Space Station's Expedition Four crew during an interview with seven high school physics students at Butte High School in Butte, Montana. The Q and A session was the crew's second school contact arranged by ARISS, a joint effort of AMSAT, ARRL and NASA. Student Oliver Huang asked a two-pronged question, wanting to know whether chemical reactions that normally precipitate on Earth also do the same in microgravity, and whether bones heal the same in microgravity as on Earth. Bursch took the time to answer the question properly, explaining that on board the ISS some chemical reactions work differently because the densities of various compounds cause the compunds to mix in unexpected ways. As for the question about bones, Bursch said that he didn't know for sure, but that his best guess was that bones heal differently in microgravity, and that the stress of gravity led to quicker healing for fractured bones. Bursch speculated that if one of the crew should suffer a fracture, the doctors on the ground would prescribe some sort of stress on the bone to aid healing. Lori Stenson asked,"How long does your oxygen supply last during an EVA?" Bursch answered, "It depends on the suit," but went on to explain that even though the crew's spacesuits have eleven hours worth of oxygen, the real limiting factor was the suit's lithium hydroxide, which is capable of scrubbing carbon dioxide from the air for only nine hours. About 90 science students were present for the interview, and 30 of them were ready to ask questions. Reporters from the local newspaper and television station were on hand, and two local radio stations, KBOW and KRBM, broadcast the interview live. MSNBC also carried the event live on its website. Coordinating teacher Sandy Shutey exclaimed afterwards,"This was absolutely fantastic! It's one of the best things we've ever done!" She went on to explain that the event was a hands-on culmination of her students' several-months' study of space topics. Bursch and his crewmates Yuri Onufrienko, RK3DUO, and Carl Walz, KC5TIE, passed over Australia during the telebridged session. Radio contact with Tony Hutchison, VK5ZAI, in Paringa, was relayed by Worldcom, Inc., to Butte. Roy Neal, K6DUE, moderated the event, and ARISS mentor Tim Bosma, W6ISS, helped the students prepare for the contact. Please visit the Iruma Children's Center webpage. Satoshi Yasuda 7M3TJZ reports that they have a video file from their recent contact. The file is big and may be found at carnation.ier.hit-u.ac.jp. Please download from carnation.ier.hit-u.ac.jp/pub/ariss with anonymous ftp. File name is sample.mpg (20,762,616) and sample.wmv (3,747,967). We used three screens using PC projector. One which is on top of our club flag displayed the tracking of ISS using Winorbit. The left screen displayed the question of each student (including English and Japanese). The right screen displayed Japanese which is translated simultaneously by two English teachers. One English teacher is native speaker of English and another one is Japanese English teacher. Both teachers teach in Junior high school. Currently the ARISS operations team has a list of over 40 schools that we hope will be able to have a contact during 2002. As the schedule becomes more solidified, we will be letting everyone know. Current plans call for an average of one scheduled school contact per week. 73, Charlie Sufana AJ9N One of the ARISS operation team mentors ---- Via the sarex mailing list at AMSAT.ORG courtesy of AMSAT-NA.

Toddler-Size Soft Seating
In our small living room we have a couch and one arm chair - which lately my son has completely co-opted. He insists on sitting there and cries and cries if someone else dares take his spot. While not wanting to give in to his demands, I have wondered if getting him his own chair wouldn't only delight him, but also keep our chair cleaner (not to mention free for use). So I wanted to see what my options were for small, modern, comfortable chairs. Here are the results of my research with a handful of options at different price points:
• Poang armchair ($29.99 by Ikea)
• Little Reader ($69.99 by P'kolino)
• My First Hybrid Chair ($79 at Pottery Barn Kids)
• The Nod Chair ($99)
• Cubino Chair ($109 by Monte Design)
• Anywhere Recycled Beanbag ($129 at Pottery Barn Kids)
• Fatboy Junior ($199 at Design Public)
• Baby Maggie ($199 at Crypton)
• Mini Fashion Bean Bag ($199 by Sitting Bull)
• Ava Toddler Chair ($299-399 by Jennifer DeLonge)
• Parker Child Chair ($399-499 by Jennifer DeLonge)
• mini-e ($899 at Little Nest)
• Junior Templeton (starting at $995 by Jonathan Adler)
• Child's Womb Chair ($2,831 by Knoll Kids, but free shipping!)
I'd love to know what you think - what attractive, toddler-size chairs have I missed? Have you bought a small chair for you kid and regretted it? Loved it? I'll let you know what I decide and will read your comments with interest!

The federal government has hit out at a senior Liberal MP for suggesting the global financial crisis (GFC) would not have had a budget impact under a coalition government, describing the remarks as "delusional" and "lunacy".
Treasurer Wayne Swan again on Monday defended his commitment to a $1.1 billion surplus in 2012/13, after opposition front bencher Christopher Pyne suggested the coalition would have kept the budget in the black over the past five years if it had been in power.
"I think most people accept that we would have had continuing surpluses," Mr Pyne told Sky News.
Mr Pyne later backtracked, telling Fairfax Media not to take his remarks "too literally" because he only trying to make the point the coalition was better at economic management than Labor.
Even so, Mr Swan said the education spokesman was pretending the dramatic financial and economic fallout from 2008-2009 crisis never happened.
"These people are delusional," he told reporters in Brisbane.
Assistant Treasurer David Bradbury described it as a "staggeringly ridiculous" piece of commentary and "economic lunacy" from an opposition MP.
However, business groups continue to question whether the government should be so determined to return a surplus when the latest official figures show the economy has slowed after a robust start to the 2012 calendar year.
Of concern is that government fiscal measures, such as more spending cuts, could create further drag on national gross domestic product (GDP).
"Given an outlook of slowing GDP growth, the budget bottom line should be under pressure, and taking policy actions to counter that pressure makes no sense as it will make worse the deterioration in economic growth," chief economist at capital markets specialist Laminar Group Stephen Roberts told AAP.
He called on MPs to ditch the "political nonsense".
"Politicians on both sides are showing no understanding of the basics of budgetary policy 101," Mr Roberts said.
Instead, the so-called automatic stabilisers of easier budget policy should be allowed free rein.
He argued this would be unlikely to cause a negative reaction from investors or credit rating agencies because Australia's net debt level was one of the lowest in the world.
Mr Swan said returning a surplus now was the right thing to do, although he agreed it was now more of a challenge because falling commodity prices and consumer caution were denting government revenues.
He rejected suggestions the budget could remain in deficit.
"I don't deal with hypothetical situations," Mr Swan said.
Mr Abbott said the government was "crab walking away" from its commitment to surplus.
"A coalition government gets the budget into surplus, it pays down debt, it produces assets," Mr Abbott told reporters in Sydney.
"That is the kind of good economic management which provides the kind of social dividend which Australia came to enjoy under the Howard government."
Meanwhile, new Australian Bureau of Statistics figures released on Monday showed demand for home loans grew by a meagre 0.1 per cent in October - well below the three per cent growth expected.

Question: I have been married for four years. We love each other and enjoy being around each other.
Our families could not be more different. My family is very stoic and quiet. They have educations. If they don't like/agree with an opinion, they keep their mouths shut and change the topic to a pleasant or neutral subject.
My husband's family is loud, racist, and uneducated. They look at science and medicine as mumbo-jumbo they'll never believe. If I try to change to a neutral topic, they continue to press the subject, not just as individuals, but as a group. It feels as though I'm being attacked by a pack of hyenas.
Sitting and smiling pleasantly is not cutting the mustard. Reasoning falls on deaf ears. Silence on my part upsets my husband, who advises, "Just be you." Hubby does not want to attend festivities separately, so that is not an option.
How can I survive the coming holidays without wanting to run screaming?
Answer: So, uneducated = unevolved? Wow.
You're reflecting your family's oh-so-proper DNA when you run out of ideas after "change subject" and "be right."
Likewise, although your husband is different from his family in enough ways for you apparently to make a good couple, it seems he inherited a few hyena genes. Just because he doesn't want separate attendance, it can't ever happen? Just because he doesn't want you to, you can't remain silent?
All this means - or needs to mean, if you're both good sports about it - is that on this issue, you'll both need to work a lot harder to accept each other.
For him, it means adding 2 + 2. "Just be you" is exactly what you have done all this time, hello, and combining that with his family's ... habits? hostility? equals misery for you. That's not an appropriate status quo for him to insist upon. Either he sticks up for you, or helps you figure out how to handle his family better - since you're obviously new to (and overmatched by) tactics like theirs, and he's not - or gives you his blessing to stay home every once in a while, or ideally offers some combination of the three. Ask for this.
For you, "work a little harder" means you don't give up on mustard-cutting so quickly. Maybe you need to want to succeed at it more than you want to write these people off. Maybe you need to stop seeing his family as the collective intellectual unwashed, and train your eyes on them as individuals. Maybe you need a different knife, a sense of humor, perhaps.
Not for the racism, of course. For that, you and he need a strategy, including lines you don't cross.
One way to start this whole process is by asking your husband how he would handle his family if he were in your place. Make it clear you want to come up with a better solution than just sucking it up to make him happy.
Though you'll keep doing that as a fallback, if he meets you halfway. He may well dig in less if he sees you're really invested - and I'm guessing you'd also need less of his support if he simply recognized that you needed it. Validation is powerful stuff.

Boeing Gets More Money Than They Expected
SEATTLE (AP) -- Boeing posted a bigger-than-expected second-quarter profit as it ramped up deliveries of commercial planes like its 737 and 787. Boeing's net income rose 13 percent to just over $1 billion, or $1.41 per share. The results include costs from pensions. On that basis, analysts had been expecting a profit of $1.30 per share.

Giorgio de Chirico, Italian, 1888-1978
Self-Portrait, c.1935
Oil on canvas
Signed lower right: G. de Chirico
10 5/8 x 7 1/2 in. (27 x 19 cm)
Purchased from Anonymous Donations, 1938
The metaphysical artist Giorgio de Chirico painted dozens of self-portraits during the course of his career, ranging from elaborate full-length costume pieces and compositions redolent with literary and historical references, to simple, straightforward bust-length likenesses.
Throughout his career, de Chirico returned again and again to certain favored motifs: female nudes, deserted Italian piazzas, the Dioscuri or horses along the shore, enigmatic bathers, and not least, his own distinctive likeness. As in the rest of his oeuvre, the painterly styles and formal references employed in these works vary widely. Several self-portraits of the 1920s, for example--like the one of 1920 in the Staatsgalerie moderner Kunst, Munich, or that of 1924 in the Kunstmuseum, Winterthur--invoke compositions by earlier artists, such as Nicolas Poussin, and thus parallel the inventive explorations of neoclassicism seen in de Chirico's contemporary subject pieces.1 In addition to more conventional formats, de Chirico also painted several self-portraits flamboyantly clad in seventeenth-century costume 2 or in the nude.3
The Oberlin self-portrait was painted in the mid 1930s, a decade in which de Chirico painted comparatively few self-portraits.4 The most important self-portrait of these years is the full-length Self-Portrait in the Paris Studio of 1935, in which the artist represented himself in the act of painting, with an unfinished canvas on the easel before him.5 More directly related to the Oberlin painting are a series of simple, bust-length self-portraits; especially comparable are a painting of 1932, which shows the artist with a younger, leaner face;6 and two others dated about 1934 and 1937.7 In each, the artist is situated before a plain background, and fixes the viewer with an intent gaze. Judging from details of the artist's physiognomy (the sagging jowls, the prominent nose, and the receding chin) and his apparent age, the Oberlin painting was probably executed around 1935 or slightly later.
The unarticulated blank form of the artist's shoulder and chest is unusual (see Technical Data), although de Chirico did intentionally retain a semi-unfinished effect in many paintings of the period. The rough, swirling application of paint in the background of the Oberlin Self-Portrait, for example, also dominates the more formal Amazon of 1934 (Rome, private collection), a full-length portrait of his wife Isabella.
M. E. Wieseman
Giorgio de Chirico, the originator of metaphysical painting, was born in Vólos, Greece, in 1888. He was a pupil at the Akademie der Bildende Künste in Munich from 1906 to 1910, and was profoundly influenced by the bizarre juxtapositions of the commonplace and fantastic in the works of Arnold Böcklin (1827-1901) and Max Klinger. Around 1910, de Chirico produced his first "enigmatic" pictures, in which an uneasy atmosphere and feeling of disjuncture is enhanced by deep, oppressive, empty spaces. In 1911 de Chirico moved to Paris, where the influential poet and critic Guillaume Apollinaire (1880-1918) was instrumental in introducing him to leading modernists like Picasso, André Derain, and Constantin Brancusi (1876-1957). De Chirico was drafted into the Italian army in 1915, but suffered a nervous breakdown and was sent to the military hospital at Ferrara in 1917. There he met the Futurist painter Carlo Carr (1881-1966), whom he converted to metaphysical painting.
De Chirico's theoretical writings of 1910-20 stress the importance of time and memory in the creation of art, seeking renewal in the use (rather than the rejection) of history. An historical element permeates his entire oeuvre, from the metaphysical paintings of 1910-20 to the neoclassicist constructs of the 1920s, and his many copies and interpretations of old masters. De Chirico returned to Paris in 1924, where his work was especially influential for the Surrealists. In Italy during the 1940s, de Chirico turned to more conservative subject matter, and toward the end of the decade affected a lush, painterly, neo-baroque style influenced in part by his study of old masters. His reuse of earlier styles and motifs in paintings of the 1940s and later (including copies of some of his most famous works) was roundly criticized, as it was felt to be deceptive chronologically, and hence in terms of value. The artist defended himself by declaring that both the concept and execution of the works were his own, and the date of execution therefore immaterial.8 De Chirico worked in a variety of media well into old age, producing theater designs, illustrations and color lithographs, and sculpture, in addition to paintings.

Technical Data
The original canvas has been lined onto a medium-weight fabric with a prepared ground, and the original tacking margins removed. The painting seems to have been placed on a new strainer after lining. The paint layer is generally thin, with white ground showing through in the background. There is a thin horizontal band of inpainting (about 7.5 cm long) directly under the nose of the sitter. There are areas of what appear to be light grey overpaint in the white (shirt) area; over the white and beneath the grey layer are remnants of a salmon or rose paint. Although this overpaint may have been applied by the artist, it was added after cracking developed and goes around the signature at lower right.

When you think of the United States of America, two words come in mind – enormous and extremely diverse. The country harbors an incredible collection of both cultural and natural wonders. From bustling city streets to plains, mountains and forests covering the vast swaths of the continent, United States truly is a wonder of Mother Nature that never fails to charm its visitors. Spread across around 3.6 million square miles, the United States consists of 50 different states. Each of these places has their unique characteristics, states of mind and cultural backgrounds. So, there is a lot in store for you to explore.
You need to pick the perfect time to visit the country. Even though you can visit USA any time of the year, there are certain seasons that define the best time to visit certain states. That is why you need to plan your trip depending on the climate of that specific zone. Now you need to keep the vastness of the United States in mind. The climate varies significantly from one region to another. You will also find extremes of both hot and cold in different states. For example, the state of Alaska can be freezing cold, with temperature sometimes dropping to –62 degree Celsius! On the other hand, California's Death Valley is the hottest place where temperature can even rise to 57 degree Celsius. Thus, the name of this place comes as no surprise! Setting the extremes aside, overall the United States has a moderate climate in general.
In most regions of the United States, winter generally lasts from December to April. The northern states usually get the harsher winters when the climate stays freezing and bitter. The chilly winter becomes a little warmer in the months of January and February. That is when the Chinook wind originates from the Rocky Mountains. The southern states are, however, quite the opposite. In the "sunbelt" regions, temperature rarely goes below freezing.
Summer lasts from June to September. However, the states of Washington, Oregon and New England receive some amount of rain at this time of the year, and these regions tend to be less predictable. The states in the Pacific Northwest tend to have temperate weather, whereas the southern, Midwestern and East Coast states are more humid. Heat waves are a common occurrence.
In the US, spring and autumn are characterized as mild, warm and sunny. However, there are some regions such as the Pacific Northwest, where some rainfall can be expected at this time of the year. From April to June, the Midwestern states experience tornado season, and hurricanes occur in the early summertime along the Gulf of Mexico coast and southern East Coast. Though TV and radio do broadcast warnings, it is much less likely that you will be faced with a hurricane on your short trip.

Sunday, 25 November 2012 10:37 AM
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has sought tirelessly to secure her late husband's place in Argentina's pantheon alongside popular leader Juan Domingo Peron and his glamorous wife Evita, the country's most influential politicians of the 20th century.
Streets, hospitals, tunnels and even a soccer tournament have been named after Nestor Kirchner in the two years since his death. Statues and school improvement campaigns evoke his legacy. Activists proudly wear T-shirts saying "Nestor Lives."
Now Argentines have yet another tool in their mythmaking kit: "Nestor Kirchner, The Movie," a documentary that has just opened at 120 theaters around the country, an unusually wide distribution equal to that of movies expected to become box-office hits.
The movie is also being shown at a film festival in the resort city of Mar del Plata, where Fernandez encouraged the crowd Friday to find strength in her late husband's legacy.
"He came to lift up the Argentines who were humiliated, submerged and forgotten," the president said, her voice breaking, as it often does, when she talks of "him." "So if you won't give up, I won't either."
The movie, like Fernandez' political discourse, is aimed at more than just rallying supporters for a president whose ratings have slipped. Analyst Roberto Bacman said Fernandez is claiming a place for herself and her husband on the same pedestal where the Perons still stand as the transformative figures of modern Argentina.
For most Argentines, "Kirchner is not Peron," said analyst Rosendo Fraga, who directs the Center for the New Majority think tank in Buenos Aires. "Kirchner is being used to undo Peron," he said.
Peron left his mark on every aspect of Argentine politics during three presidential terms. With his charismatic wife, he built a movement that united even extremists on the left and right into a grand project so dysfunctional that even today the various branches of the Peronist party include politicians who wouldn't be caught dead sharing a photo-op together.
"Peronism has a tendency to find myths, figures of great force; It is a characteristic of populism. Kirchner also made a strong mark as president and after his death his figure grew," Bacman noted.
Kirchner was unquestionably popular during his 2003-2007 mandate, presiding over the early years of an extended recovery from Argentina's disastrous 2001 economic crisis, and reasserting his nation's place in the world. But his approval ratings soared after his sudden death of a heart attack in October 2010 at the age of 60.
"In Argentina, death has a greater social significance than in the rest of the world," said Fraga, recalling how the death of Evita Peron at the age of 33 prompted massive outpourings of grief in 1952.
Fernandez's standing also shot up in the polls after her husband's death. She has only worn black since she was widowed, and was re-elected with 54 percent of the votes a year later. But her support has dropped steadily since. About 61 percent of Argentines now disapprove of her performance, according to a September poll of 2,269 adults by Management & Fit polling firm that had an error margin of plus or minus 2 percentage points.
Fernandez still seeks strength in her late husband's reflected glory, promoting his legacy in speech after pointed speech.
"He might have been cross-eyed but he could see much better than people who had contact lenses and many other things, and what he didn't see he could intuit, with this emotional intelligence that God gave him," Fernandez said Friday.
The documentary's director, Paula de Luque, is an unapologetic Kirchner fan who also recently directed a drama based on the Perons' relationship called "Juan y Eva," which won Best Film and Best Director at last month's Bogota Film Festival.
De Luque was recruited by producers Fernando Navarro, a ruling party lawmaker in Buenos Aires province, and Jorge Devoto, who said they were inspired by the massive outpouring of sympathy unleashed by Kirchner's death.
The two men launched an Internet site asking people to contribute any images of Kirchner for the film, and received thousands. The documentary combines these with video fragments and personal testimonies, and music by Oscar-winning Argentine composer Gustavo Santaolalla.
The result includes some of Kirchner's most symbolic acts as president, such as when he paid off Argentina's International Monetary Fund debt in an effort to operate without IMF scrutiny, and when he stared down George W. Bush at the 2005 Summit of the Americas and helped kill the U.S. president's free-trade proposals.
It also shows when Kirchner had the military take dictator Jorge Rafael Videla's picture down from a place of honor in his campaign to revive human rights trials.
The film doesn't criticize Kirchner in any way.
It doesn't include, for example, accusations by his former political allies that he enriched himself with $535 million in oil royalties while he was governor of the southern Santa Cruz province. Kirchner moved it into overseas accounts in the 1990s, keeping it safe there from Argentina's roller-coaster economy. Critics said he never fully accounted for the cash, but supporters praised this ability to outmaneuver enemies as an important aspect of the Kirchners' rule.
De Luque acknowledged she had no intention of making an objective documentary.
"I'm not neutral," de Luque said. "I'm not a journalist or neutral historian. It is a controversial movie, but that's okay. This is how democracy works."
But she said she didn't want to make a puff-piece, either.
"I didn't want a movie that promotes only one view ... I've got enough cinematic ethics to know that my job was not to make a film just for my people, but to make it universal enough to be seen by people with other views," de Luque added.
Fernandez credits her late husband with fostering a model of social inclusion that has reduced extreme poverty, but critics see the Kirchners as serial abusers of power, autocrats whose demagogic populism has enfeebled the country's institutions.
Many right-wing Peronists have slammed the Kirchners' center-left model, but Fernandez is now also getting heat from the left, led by trade unionists who say she is not sharing enough of Argentina's remaining wealth with them.
And by using central bank reserves to fund social programs rather than make debt payments, Argentina has found itself increasingly isolated from the rest of the world, Fraga said.
Bacman, who directs the Center for Public Opinion in Buenos Aires, said it's still too early to put Kirchner alongside Peron, who died in 1974.
Peron formed a movement that made working-class people feel represented as he modernized Argentina in the 1940s and 1950s, pushing through worker-friendly laws, giving women the right to vote and fostering a post-war economic boom, Bacman recalled.
Kirchner's defining success was to re-establish presidential power after a profound economic and political crisis, when 50 percent of the people were impoverished and "throw them all out" was the theme of raucous pot-banging protests.
"Kirchner's historical legacy isn't settled yet; I think in some ways it depends on what happens with Cristina Fernandez," Bacman said.

Official Portal for North Dakota State Government
On March 15, 2011 Gov. Jack Dalrymple signed into law House Bill 1219, designating the Convergent Lady Beetle, commonly known as the ladybug, as the official state insect. He was joined at the cermony by legislators and second grade students from Kenmare Elementary School, who were instrumental in passing the legislation.
The students, who were from Tamara McNeiley's enrichment class, were studying ladybugs and learned that while 42 states had a state insect, North Dakota did not. They researched the ladybug and initiated the legislation designating the ladybug as the state's official insect. The students testified before the House and Senate Political Subdivisions committees in support of the legislation.
"This legislation not only designates an official insect for our state, but also exemplifies the importance of having a voice and how each of us has the ability to affect change and have an impact on our state," Dalrymple said. "These students and their teacher, Mrs. McNeiley, represent the outstanding work that is going on in classrooms across our state, work that is instilling in our young people the skills and values to be tomorrow's leaders."
In October 2009, the students contacted Rep. Glen Froseth, who supported them in their efforts to initiate the legislation. He signed on as the primary bill sponsor, along with Reps. Pat Hatlestad and Gary Kreidt and Sen. Karen Krebsbach.

Currently treading the boards in Sondheim's A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM, Butel shares the stage with an all-star cast including Geoffrey Rush, Magda Szubanski, Shane Bourne and Christie Whelan. As the production heads into its last month in Melbourne we take a peek into Mitchell Butel's brain on musical theatre …
This Is Your Brain On Musical Theatre – 7 Questions with Mitchell Butel
Is there a particular show and/or person that first made you feel like 'this is what I want to do'?
The first musical I ever saw was "Song and Dance" and Gaye McFarlane's knockout performance in the "Song" section opened many a door in my mind. In the same theatre the following year, I saw "Little Shop of Horrors" and was hooked. (And I got to play Seymour many years later which was a joy and nice circle).
Can you remember the moment when you first understood that you could sing the way most others can't?
At age 10 before my voice had cracked, I was given the solo by the school choir mistress in "You'll Never Walk Alone" ("Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart" etc.) with the crazy high notes and I did think "Hmmm, I like this feeling!" I was always a dab hand with a Christmas Carol performance for my family too, it must be said!
Is there one night in your career that you would love to go back to and experience over again?
I've been lucky to have so many great nights in so many great shows with great people but here are a few: the opening night of "Little Me" at the State Theatre where I relished playing multiple crazy men; singing with Bernadette Peters at the Opera House; rowing on a moonlit lake at midnight filming the ABC series "Bordertown"; being told by the entire cast of "Summer Rain" at my dressing room door post-shower that I'd won my first Helpmann Award for "The Venetian Twins".
Is there one role that belongs to the opposite gender or a different age group that you'd secretly love to perform?
There are sooo many!! I've had my eye on Fanny Brice since I came out of the womb and I'd kill to play Viola in "Twelfth Night" one day!
What book/TV show/movie is a musical just waiting to happen?
I can't believe "Tootsie" hasn't been made into a musical yet. Dorothy Michaels is a Tony Award waiting to happen!
Do you still sing in the shower when you sing for a living?
I sing all the time. My family once watched "The Three Amigos" on TV on a Sunday night and when the singing bush appeared, they all proclaimed without hesitation that I was not dissimilar!
and finally, borrowing from James Lipton via Bernard Pivot
What sound or noise do you love?
Wind in the trees; rain on a tin roof; and a diva in full belt, post-key change!!

Click on the alphabet letter you wish to go to.
Note: No entries for Y or Z.
Letter Q
QUAD -- One quadrillion (1015 or 1,000,000,000,000,000) British thermal units (Btus). An amount of energy equal to 170 million barrels of oil. Total U.S. consumption of all forms of energy is (in the 1990s) about 83 quads in an average year.
QUALIFYING FACILITY -- A cogenerator or small power producer which under federal law, has the right to sell its excess power output to the public utility.
QUALIFYING FACILITY -- QFs are non-utility power producers that often generate electricity using renewable and alternative resources, such as hydro, wind, solar, geothermal or biomass (solid waste). QFs must meet certain operating, efficiency, and fuel-use standards set forth by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC). If they meet these FERC standards, utilities must buy power from them. QFs usually have long-term contracts with utilities for the purchase of this power, which is among the utility's highest-priced resources.
QUALIFYING FACILITY (QF) -- Under PURPA, QFs were allowed to sell their electric output to the local utility at avoided cost rates. To become a QF, the independent power supplier had to produce electricity with a specified fuel type (cogeneration or renewables), and meet certain ownership, size, and efficiency criteria established by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission.

Where to start for a greenhorn...
I am a complete novice when it comes to reloading. I've wanted to get into it, now I have a house with a room I can dedicate to my firearms.
Have gotten pretty lost when looking online trying to even find out what start up costs would be.
I would be wanting to reload for .357 and .308 (been collecting my brass for a few months), had not considered .223 until this lunacy happened but believe that will die down.
From what I've looked into, I'm fairly certain I would want a progressive press but if its a large price difference then I could be talked down to a single stage press. I'd take my time either way, don't need to lose a finger or worse.
My preferred budget would be $500, am i kidding myself w/ this price.
Really would like a list of everything I would need, from press down to that tin tray that flips the primers right side up.
As for why I am wanting to reload, the cost savings is attractive, but find it interesting and a craft I would like to learn.
Thanks for any input.

Im rowing the same boat you are as far as being new to reloading. You can get a single stage rcbs with the kit. Then all i needed to buy was a digital caliper, brass, bullets, powder and primers. (Good luck finding primers). Also good manuals to cross reference. I got speer, lyman and hornady. Midway usa has presses and kits for all budgets. I think i threw a $600 dollar bill for EVERYTHING with shipping. Good luck brother. The veterans will jump in and help you out.

Well I would suggest a Lee Classic Turret kit. (Though I can not find one in stock anywhere online, or localy.)
A Lee 50th aniversary kit. Will run under $120 upgrade to a better scale. ($25 to a few hundred dpending on how precise you want.)
A dial Caliper about $30
Lock stud, and case length guage to trim the .308 brass $6 or less
Reloading manual $15 to $30 depending on where you get it, and which one.
No matter how many times you do it and nothing happens it only takes something going wrong one time to kill you.

Thanks for asking our advice.
Thanks for asking our advice.
For your bottlenecked cartridges I would suggest a good single stage. It will also do for your straight-walled pistol cases while you are learning.
A progressive will set you back a pretty penny, but learning to load on a progressive is more difficult than learning on a turret or a single stage. Just as learning to walk wearing shoes is easier to learn than learning to walk wearing roller skates. Also, you may find the quantities you shoot do not justify the expense and complexity of a progressive. Both of those attributes will become clearer to you as you gain experience on your single stage.
I have never heard anyone regret owning a single stage.
Once you have the basics as second nature on a single stage, you can decide later if you want a nice auto-indexing turret, a regular turret of a progressive. Don't be impatient.
In the meantime, here are excerpts from an article I wrote a while ago
You need knowledge. About the process, about the toos and about load recipes that are safe. A mentor would be nice.
Manuals and instruction books. Lots of manuals. And web sites. Reliable ones, like the bullet manufacturers and powder manufacturers, not someone who doesn't have "skin in the game".
The early chapters of manuals are devoted to "how to load" information and the rest are load recipes. The bullet and powder manufacturers have lots of good advice and load recipes specific for their products. The excellent tome "ABC's of Reloading" has no load recipes, but excellent descriptions of the loading process, written by a selection of different authors.
Casual sources (like forums) are good sources of education and information, but you have to verify everything you find from casual sources.
Remember, only believe half of what you see and one quarter of what you hear. That goes double for what you get from the internet. Even this post. Maybe especially this post.
Do your own independent, confirming research when ANYONE gives you new facts on the web.
Also remember, even the idiotic stuff might have a kernel of truth buried in there somewhere.
I have compiled a few web sites that seem to have some good information (some of which came from me).
Go get a large mug of whatever you sip when you read and think and visit these sites.

Those links certainly took some time to read through. Thanks
I still think I'd prefer a progressive, I'm certainly mechanically inclined and feel confident in the process. I've watched videos of single stage and turrets and it just seems like there's more time needed than I have to invest.
Thanks again to all

Ram it one. The most vital things you have to invest for SAFE reloading are Time, and ATTENTION.
Note I used caps to show the importance of things.
Please do not take this as an insult. I offer this suggestion in thinking of yours, and other's safety.
If you are that short on time forget dropping that much money. It would be a poor investment for you. You are already short enough on time. Buy some bulk comercial reloads. They are economical, and all you have to do is order them, and wait for them to come on the brown truck.
I say this as a person that started to reload, and cast lead to have the chane to shoot a lot more with the very limited funds that I have. I had time, and attention to invest, and very little money. I started with, and still use a single stage. I batch load. I spend roughly 10 to 12 hours reloading or casting each week. This weekend between me, my wife, and a couple of friends 800 rounds of my reloads were shot. Total cost was under $75 in money, and 7 hours of actual work that I enjoy doing. If I were not doing it I would be in a Lazy Boy watching TV and drinking something cold. (Most likely with a giant bag of Cheetos in my hand as well.)

Joan Osborne, a multi-platinum-selling recording artist and seven-time Grammy nominee, visited her hometown of Anchorage, Ky., recently. She had lunch with her elementary-school music teacher, Carolyn Browning.
"She was very attentive to me, introducing me to singing contests and other events. She also helped me develop my harmony," says Osborne. "It wasn't such a big deal to me then. It was years later before I realized all that she did for me."
That's probably because the second oldest of six children was also busy being a kid, running around in the woods and building tree forts.
"I also changed my share of diapers, made lunches, and broke up some fights between my younger siblings — and we're still close. It was a wonderful time," she says.
And although Osborne calls New York City home, it's still wonderful for her to step away from the skyscrapers to retreat and make music. She has just the place to escape to in Sullivan County, where her 8-year-old daughter can also experience the freedom found in nature that she did as a child.
"What I write there is so different than when I'm in the frenetic city," says Osborne, who has shared a stage with Luciano Pavarotti, Bob Dylan, Stevie Wonder, Emmylou Harris and most recently the Allman Brothers, to name just a few. She had an international hit with "One of Us" and has performed with The Dead, formerly known as the Grateful Dead.
No wonder she's drawn to the romantic, bohemian feel of Woodstock, which is where she's performing Friday night with Keith Cotton.
"He's from an old New Paltz family connected with the college, and has been working with me in duo for a number of years," she says.
Osborne says the audience can expect to hear some of her older material, as well as some new original work that she regards as her best writing, but won't be released until next year. She'll also perform songs from her most recent recording, "Bring It On Home," a collection of blues, R&B and soul songs, which she recorded in inspiring Waterfront Studios in Hudson, surrounded by creative energy.
"When I was in my early 20s, I tried to emulate the music of Etta James, Otis Redding," she says. "They have a great, rich texture to their voices. I did my best. ... Over 20 years, my voice has changed, developed into a richer instrument, so that I can now turn my attention back.
"The show is an acoustic duo — stripped down and bare bones, which is an exciting way to breathe new life into a song," she adds.
And as appreciative as she is of her ability to flow between diverse musical worlds and among the famous names on the marquees, she applauds these intimate musical evenings.
"An ordinary night can be so joyful," she says. "And although I can't make any promises, with so many friends living nearby, we could have a special guest."

Angel Stadium is a phone booth.
The Angels' white jerseys are Superman capes.
The same men who played baseball like a bunch of mild-mannered reporters on a 3-7 road trip were men of steel Friday. The only difference was the venue.
The Angels' offense picked up where it left off in beating the Chicago White Sox 8-4 before an announced crowd of 38,521.
Kole Calhoun and Josh Hamilton each went 2 for 4, and Calhoun began the game with a home run. That helped make a winner of Jered Weaver (7-4), who pitched out of trouble on several occasions in six innings. The White Sox left 11 runners on base.
Calhoun and Hamilton have both missed significant time with injuries this season. Were their quality at-bats Friday a result of shaking off rust, or being in a comfortable setting?
"I don't know if we have to look at the reason why," Angels manager Mike Scioscia said. "We're happy it was here tonight and hopefully it continues."
The Angels are 16-10 at home since getting swept in their season-opening series. They're 15-13 on the road.
Weaver, who was pummeled for 11 hits in his previous outing in Oakland, looked a lot less human Friday. His curveball was particularly problematic for the White Sox, who swung and missed at nine of them. Weaver got batters to swing and miss at 16 curveballs the entire month of May.
"The curveball was pretty sharp," he said. "I was able to locate it when I needed to. Turns out that's a good pitch against that lineup. They have a tremendous talent in (Jose) Abreu. It's nice to shut him down a little bit."
Abreu, who is third in the American League with 17 home runs, was 1 for 4. His double in the second inning didn't lead to any runs.
Weaver allowed five hits and two runs in six innings. He set season highs in walks (four) and strikeouts (nine). The only thing Weaver lacked was fastball command. By the fifth inning, he was past the 100-pitch plateau.
By then, the Angels were ahead by five runs and Angels manager Mike Scioscia could cherry-pick his choice of relievers.
"The story was the offense," Weaver said. "The offense did a tremendous job taking a little bit of the pressure off me."
A five-run rally against Chicago right-hander Andre Rienzo (4-3) in the fourth inning began with two outs, when C.J. Cron hit a two-run double down the left-field line.
"Any runs you can get with two outs kind of deflates the pitcher," Cron said. "It was a close game, 2-1, and that puts us up with two outs. We kind of rode that out the whole game."
The Angels didn't stop there. Hank Conger snapped an 0-for-18 skid with a single to score Cron. Grant Green singled. Calhoun, coming off a tepid road trip of his own, hit a line drive into right field that scored both runners, giving the Angels a 7-1 lead. Albert Pujols' 507th career home run gave the Angels their final run.
The win kept the Angels five and a half games behind the Oakland A's for first place in the American League West.
For a night, the Angels' slide in the standings took a back seat to a bigger problem: What to do with Green (who's hitting .359) and/or Cron (.299) when the Angels decide to add a pitcher to their six-man bullpen.
Green played second base Friday on a rare night off for Howie Kendrick. Cron was the designated hitter in place of Raul Ibanez. As the pair continues to hit, the pressure mounts on Ibanez. The 42-year-old veteran is batting .143 this season.
A decision could come soon. Scioscia said that the club may need to add a reliever before today's game.
Adam Dunn hit the 450th home run of his career, a two-run moonshot off Ernesto Frieri, in the ninth inning. Dunn now has sole possession of 36th place on baseball's all-time home run list, passing former Angel Vladimir Guerrero and Jeff Bagwell.

Observant D5 Officers Arrest Thief Who Tried More Than 200 Auto Break-Ins
December 11th, 2012 by milwaukeepolice
On Wednesday, December 05, 2012 District 5 Police Officers Jason Rodriguez and William Feely conducted a field interview with two males, ages 16 and 18 for loitering in an alley in the 3800 block of N. Humboldt.
During the interview, the officers discovered that both subjects had property on them from a theft from auto in District 1. The 18-year-old also had a suspect alert for a burglary in District 1 at a home in the 3000 block of N. Cambridge Ave.
District 5 Police Officers Kevin Matte and Paul Martinez interviewed both subjects, and the 16-year-old admitted to the theft from auto in District 1 and attempts in District 5. He stated he attempted about 30 entries to autos in District 5 within the last week.
The 18-year-old suspect also admitted to the same theft from auto in District 1 with the 16-year-old. He then admitted to the District 1 burglary that he had the suspect alert from and implicated the 16-year-old as a co-actor in that offense. He then admitted to attempting about 200 thefts from autos in District 5 and District 1 within the past nine months since being released from custody but said he only completed six to eight of them.
He then admitted to attempting about 20 burglaries in District 1 but only completed about three. He described the area where the burglaries took place as "houses close to the lake" and "only east of the river". He implicated the 16-year-old in those incidents as well. It appears they targeted unlocked homes and vehicles.
The investigation continues but this case shows that good arrests and crime sprees are stopped starting with keen police officer observations out on the street. Great job, District 5!

What will be the big Android stories of 2013? Read on to find out what Taylor sees in his crystal ball and be sure to join in the comments to share your predictions.
I didn't do a full blow predictions post for 2012, but here were my trend predictions from last year: Mobile market continues to consolidate, Android tablets overtake iOS, Intel finally enters the mobile processor market and does poorly, Google expands voice input options, a focus on longer battery life, Quad-core processors, Google TV goes mainstream, Android-powered smartwatches that don't suck, wireless charging gains popularity, new low-power display technologies like Qualcomm's Mirasol, Chrome Browser comes to Android.
1. Google launches MVNO on T-Mobile
Google was already rumored to partner up with Dish Network to offer wireless service, but I believe they will sign a deal with T-Mobile to become a mobile virtual network operator. Look for this announcement to come around mid-2013 when T-Mobile launches their 4G LTE network.
2. Sony releases Gaikai for Android devices
Gaikai is the most amazing cloud gaming service I have ever tested and it's a crime that Android version has not been publicly released. Sony acquired Gaikai for $380 million this year and I think they have big plans for them in 2013. Look for Sony to bring the greatest PS3 hits and future PS4 games to mobile devices with the public release of Gaikai for Android in 2013.
3. Google TV gains support for wireless display
I love my Google TV, but the platform has been a major disappointment since Google launched it a couple years ago. Look for Google TV to finally get the treatment it deserves when it's finally updated to Android 5.0 next year. I expect we will see a major overhaul of the UI and new features like support for Miracast wireless display.
4. HTC One X2 comes to all US carriers
Samsung finally managed to get their Galaxy S III on all the major carriers, and I believe HTC will follow in their footsteps next year. Look for HTC to launch their flagship One X2 across all US carriers by summer 2013.
5. Nexus 4 sells 10 million units
The Nexus series of phones has generally been a retail flop, but the Nexus 4 will change that. We expect LG and Google to ramp up production and ship over 10 million units worldwide in 2013.
6. Motorola releases a Nexus RAZR
Google hadn't owned Motorola long enough to produce a Nexus device in 2012, but they will have no excuses next year. Look for the Motorola Nexus RAZR to become the flagship Android smartphone for the 2013 holiday shopping season.
7. Huawei or ZTE releases a $99 Nexus smartphone
Speaking of Nexus devices, we expect Google to continue to expand the program to more OEMs next year. I predict we will see an entry-level Nexus smartphone from Huawei or ZTE that has a starting price of $99.
8. Sony Smartwatch 2 goes mainstream
Last year I predicted that 2012 would introduce several Android-powered smartwatches that didn't suck, and I was mostly right. We saw the Sony Smartwatch, Pebble, and Metawatch Strata all achieve some level of success, but none of the products were an all out winner. I expect Sony will lead the pack in 2013 with a new smartwatch that features a slimmer design and lower price point.
9. Samsung opens retail stores in the US
The first Samsung Mobile store already opened in Paris, and it's only a matter of time before we see retail locations in the US. This year Samsung had kiosks and pop-up stores across malls in the US, but next year I predict they will have fixed retail locations in the top 25 metro areas.
10. Intel inside Android phones in the US
It feels like every year I write some story about Intel that says this will be the year they break into Android. We finally saw a couple Intel-powered smartphones show up overseas, but none of them made there way to the US. Since the next version of Intel's mobile chip should feature an integrated LTE modem, we expect to finally see some design wins in US carrier stores.
11. NVIDIA has record design wins with Tegra 4
Speaking of mobile chips, I predict NVIDIA will have a record year for the fourth generation of their Tegra processor. Each variation has topped the last in terms of design wins and I think we will see a record number of smartphones powered by Tegra 4 next year. Look for NVIDIA's Tegra division to generate $1 billion in revenue for 2013.
12. Amazon finally releases an Android phone
The Amazon smartphone has been rumored for a long time and some predicted it would be announced back in September. It's easy to guess that 2013 will finally be the year, but I would be shocked if there is not a Kindle phone on sale this time next year.
13. HTC Sense 5.0 gets a major overhaul
HTC once told me they "got a little too kung-fu with Sense [3.0]" and they really toned things down in Sense 4.0. We once considered Sense to be an amazing third-party UI when Android was still ugly, but now it just feels stale. I predict Drew Bamford will unveil Sense 5.0 at Mobile World Congress 2013 and it will be a radical departure from what we expect out of HTC.

35w6d- People are starting to look at me like I'm a ticking time bomb. Or maybe I just feel like one. Actually, it's probably both.
So when do I throw in the towel and finally give into this pregnancy? When do I start acting like I have a few days left before a baby comes out of my body and changes my every moment of my every day? I.E., when do I start maternity leave?
Recently, unsolicited comments from strangers have abruptly changed from, "Oh wow, you're still so small!" to "Oh wow, when's your due date?!" It's pretty comical. OK, I get it. Maybe it's time to raise the white flag.
Between vacation days and my company's maternity policy, I'll be fortunate enough to take about 3 months off of work. When to start this? I have no idea. It's so hard to set a date when that date completely revolves around an unknown. Abby could come tomorrow or in 5 weeks. What if I take a week of vacation before my official due date (May 20), but then she doesn't come until after the 20th? I'll have to go back into the office for a few days in between, and that's just awkward.
So do I work up until my water breaks at my desk? I'm not sure I can do that. My body is starting to really yell at me, and my doctor is sternly stressing that I need to take it easy in order to keep this baby cooking for a few more weeks. Plus, I think it's healthier to have a finish line. Everything is so open-ended right now — it would be nice to have a set date to work toward, especially in my deadline-driven work environment. This would also make my transition easier on my co-workers, as they would know that they could count on me up until May XX.
In going through this whole process of filing the appropriate paper work, I learned that maternity leave is actually considered short-term disability leave. That means, someone who accidentally falls and breaks a bone is in the same category as me not so accidentally getting pregnant. It's something we planned and prayed for. How ridiculous is that?! So, if I want to take any time off before I have the baby, I'll have to use vacation days. I always thought you could start maternity leave a few days (or maybe a week) before your due date. But you aren't considered "disabled" until you have the baby.
I have to say, I'm pretty sure I feel more disabled right now at about 9 months pregnant than I will 3 months after having a baby (or at least I hope). I mean, I'm not complaining. Call it whatever you want, as long as it keeps me home next to my daughter for those precious first months. And if you have a c-section, a major surgery, you're definitely disabled. But really? A vaginal birth and a newborn baby are two of the most natural things in the world.
I really don't want my water to break at work. Gross.
When did you start your maternity leave? Help me out!
