World's Cheapest Destinations - updated Third Edition
GoNOMAD Book Excerpt: The World's Cheapest Destinations: Argentina
[Tim Leffel is an internationally recognized expert on traveling well for less; in fact he wrote the book, now in a newly-updated Third Edition. The following is an excerpt from the newly updated Third Edition.
Tim is also the author of Make Your Travel Dollars Worth a Fortune and Traveler's Tool Kit: Mexico and Central America (co-written with Rob Sangster). He also edits the narrative webzine Perceptive Travel. Visit our Tim Leffel Page with links to all his stories on GoNOMAD.]
I traveled to Argentina in 2006 and felt like a pioneer. Two years later, the word was definitely out. A destination gets "hot" very fast these days and Argentina went from unknown to overblown in a hurry. Hotels have gotten full, but internal affairs are having more of an impact. Double-digit inflation, angry farmers, and poor fiscal policy are causing prices to rise very quickly for locals and tourists alike.
Despite all that, I include Argentina as a cheap destination because if you're a tourist on vacation, it's still one of the world's best values for eating out and having a good time. When the currency got devalued in 2002, the price of nearly everything fell off a cliff in dollar or euro terms and has been rising just a bit each year ever since. The good times can't last forever, so get there soon if the idea of eating tasty slabs of grilled beef for a few dollars and washing it down with excellent red wine for a few dollars more appeals to you.
But the food is only one course of this banquet. Anyone who has spent time in Buenos Aires ranks it as one of the world's great cities. It's got interesting architecture, nice parks, great nightlife, good shopping, cultural performances, and the tango. On top of the fabulous restaurants stocked with good wine you find on every block. This is perhaps the most European city outside of Europe, so it can feel like having the best of that dearly priced region for a much smaller hit on the budget.
The rest of Argentina is quite different, however, and this is a big country. It extends from the Andean regions up near Bolivia, down past the highest peak in the Americas, down through cowboy country plains, to Patagonia and the tip of South America in Tierra del Fuego. Lie on the beach in their summer, go skiing in their winter, and explore lakes and waterfalls in between.
As one of the planet's great "new world" wine regions, this is a great place to tour wineries, and in Cafayate you can even safely hit a group of them by foot or bicycle. If you want to act like a cowboy for a while, you'll have no problem finding a ranch where you can rope cattle and ride a horse—for a fraction of what it would cost for the whole dude ranch experience in the U.S.
While being a backpacker here is not as cheap as it would be in Ecuador or Peru, the value is quite high. In general, you're getting something that used to cost much more at a sale price, rather than getting something for what it has always cost. As a result, many travelers find that food, lodging, and transportation are all of a higher quality (and more organized) than comparable offerings elsewhere. Backpackers often manage on $25 to $35 single or $40 to $60 double if here for a few weeks or more. As always, it depends on how much you are moving around and what part of the country you are in. If all your time is in the capital and resort areas, it'll be at the high end. If you spend a couple weeks in the northwest around Salta and Cafayate, your costs will be significantly lower.
If you are on a mid-range or upper-range budget, however, dive in! You will eat incredible meals on what would be a fast-food budget at home, stay at unique hotels with great amenities for the price of forgettable chain hotel at home, at drink bottles of wine at restaurants for less than a glass of Malbec costs at the closest wine bar to your house. If you can afford to bump up your budget for a few weeks somewhere, this is the place where you'll get the greatest return. For a daily budget of $60 to $150 a couple, it's a sweet life indeed.
• If you want to go skiing in July or August, you can do it here—it's winter in the southern hemisphere. Lift tickets are about half of what they cost in the U.S., on top of cheaper accommodation all around.
• The highest mountain in the Americas, Aconcagua at 6960 meters, attracts plenty of mountaineers, both serious and casual. There are many less lofty Andean peaks as well, so climbing opportunities are ample.
• Have you ever wanted to act like a rancher for a few days? Ride some horses at one of the many estancias, which range from the organized and luxurious to the rustic and simple.
• What to buy: leather goods for one-third the price of home, woolen clothing, gold jewelry, fashionable clothes, wine, chocolate, mate paraphernalia, panchos, antiques, Andean handicrafts.
• What you can get for a buck or less: two empanadas, two slices of pizza, a glass or two of cheap wine, four subway rides (9 for a student), a one-speed rental bike in Cafayate, a few quality chocolates, a beer, two hours of internet access, four loaves of bread.

The Holy Grail:
Who wants a change of Ukraine's Constitution, and why
Who wants a change of Ukraine's Constitution, and why
Ukraine needs new clear rules, a new social contract, a new Constitution and, overall, an overhaul of the statehood based on a new quality of relations between the citizens and their government. These ideas are repeated over and over again, and more frequently lately.
The 1996 Constitution is criticized as a product of a compromise between then elites, the old postcommunist one and the new national democratic one, that no longer meets the demands of the time and society, and cannot ensure successful progress of the state despite the amendments made throughout these years.
For now, there are at least give projects of the new Constitution by various more and less known authors. One is by Ihor Yukhnovsky, one of the authors of the 1996 Constitution. This project was developed by a working group of at least two dozen experts. It proposes a two-chamber parliament with a Senate as the upper chamber and the National Council as the lower chamber. The Senate would have four permanent chambers: the seniors, the economy and planning chamber, the territories and self-governance chamber, and the Council of Experts as chamber of the future. The Senate would be in charge of conceiving the strategy of the nation's development, monitoring the actions of the president and government in implementing that strategy, exploring Ukraine's defense capability, the efficiency of its foreign policy, the qualification and the fitness of candidates for top positions. The National Council would be something similar to the current Verkhovna Rada: it would be in charge of the legislative activity along with the Senate, approve the Cabinet and pass the budget. The authors of the project believe that such a model would ensure political stability of Ukraine, eliminate uncertainty in the state-building processes domestically and internationally, and shape the system of checks and balances within the legislature.
Another projected designed by the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union at the end of Viktor Yushchenko's presidency. It also offers a two-chamber parliament with the Chamber of the Regions and the Chamber of Deputies. The Chamber of the Regions would represent the regions, while the Chamber of Deputies would be elected by the citizens through general elections. Following suit of the US Congress Senate, the Chamber of the Regions would approve the president's pick for the prime minister and Cabinet members, and judges of the Constitutional Court. The Cabinet would report to president directly, while local state administrations would report to it (as France's prefectures do) – they would have the powers to control local self-governments.
Apart from the finalized projects, a few more initiatives exist. One comes from the organization titled the People's Constitution, a Coalition of Civil Society. It is allegedly sponsored by Serhiy Liovochkin, Chief of Staff under Viktor Yanukovych's presidency, and oligarch Serhiy Taruta. Whether this initiative has produced any new document is unclear. But it has tried to secure a spot in the process for itself by passing the idea of setting up new agencies to amend the Constitution through Parliament. It offers a wide civic dialogue and the Constitutional Assembly to develop a new Constitution that would be put up on a general referendum. The VR barely supported the proposal at a second attempt and has been hanging there ever since.
Few parties or politicians refrain from an attempt to come up with Constitution-related initiatives. Yulia Tymoshenko says that the current Constitution needs to be changed because it gives people no effective instruments to change the government in Ukraine earlier than scheduled elections. She argues for an entirely new Constitution that will prioritize the interests of society and give people real tools of control over the government. She offers nothing more specific, other than to reload the clan-based power system, to eliminate the diarchy in power, and to hold a real rather than fake judiciary reform. Of course, she sees herself as part of the new team that will break and replace this clan-based power system. Rumor has it that the Presidential Administration wouldn't mind amending the Constitution too, in order to help Petro Poroshenko stay in power. The alleged person in charge of this is Ihor Hryniv, one of the president's key spin doctors. The changes would have the president elected by parliament and some of his powers, such as the appointment of some ministers, chiefs of oblast state administrations or the National Bank of Ukraine, curbed in favor of the premier. Also, the president would be deprived of influence on parliament which would be reduced to 300 seats, while the threshold would go down from 5% to 3%. Also, the president would lose his power over the shaping of domestic and foreign policy. As a result, the premier would become the key figure in the country while the president would be a nominal figure. Yet, even now the premier cannot complain over the lack of powers which are far vaster than those of the president. The reason why the current President presses the Premier more frequently than the system allows for lies in the distortion of this system, not its design.
Whether such plan actually exists and whether President Poroshenko would agree to it is anyone's guess. For now, he hardly has any other ways to stay in power given his plummeted rating. A similar plan, with some difference in nuances, has already been put forward by Poroshenko's frenemy, ex-Premier Arseniy Yatseniuk.
In the end, it would do good to curb Poroshenko's powers. At this stage, however, it would probably be enough to simply put them to order. On one hand, he often takes it too far while his Administration tends to act identically to Leonid Kuchma's Administration whose chief of staff was Viktor Medvedchuk, the pro-Russian actor in Ukraine's politics. On the other hand, it makes no sense to compare Poroshenko to Kuchma, nor Yanukovych whose entourage was milking the country dry while their boss was lost in reflections at his fancy residence. Poroshenko's powers are far more limited than those of his two predecessors. And before one delves into the constitution-changing, it won't hurt to remember the details, as well as the end of similar experiments in the epoch of the late Kuchma and the early Yushchenko: the changes of 2004 were about the curbing of presidential powers. Both then, and now, similar changes are been lobbied for by Medvedchuk, a man whose daughter has Vladimir Putin as her godfather. He also promotes federalization and various other ideas recommended by the Kremlin. What was the result back then? The Orange Revolution, then the comeback of Yanukovych. By the way, Kuchma, too, had a dream to be elected in parliament.
Another question is whether it makes sense to curb the powers of the Commander in Chief when the country is at war and needs a strong hand? Whether it makes sense to "overhaul" the state at this given moment in history? It would probably be more reasonable to defend and solidify it. The current Constitution serves that purpose very well.
For Ukraine to have a true breakthrough and its Constitution to actually work, the nation needs a clearly formulated position, a sense, a set of values defining a Ukrainocentric project. Once those are discussed, once the nation defines its fundamental values and decides whether Ukraine is a mere name of a territory, or whether there is more to its existence, all this can be laid out on paper. This will take time.

Do you ever feel like God is continually circling you back to him? I do. Everyday seems to present the opportunity to be reacquainted with the same fundamental truth. I find myself looking elsewhere, looking for more, even within the pages of the Bible, for some additional message, I guess.
It's motivated by the same old feeling that I'm not doing enough. Then, I recognize my fear and a sense of inadequacy. Here's the verse I read this morning ( Rom. 4:7-8): "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered…blessed are those against whom the Lord will not count their sin." The word God gave me this morning is the one I think He speaks to me every day: "Rest in the promise." That's it, and it's enough.

These are some of the issues that ASH is currently engaged in.
Around one third of adult tobacco consumption is among people with a current mental health condition with smoking rates more than double that of the general population.
A report by ASH, endorsed by 27 health and mental health organisations sets out recommendations for how smoking rates in this population could be dramatically reduced.
"Plain" standardised packs should start to hit the shelves in the UK in the coming months, as old stock is sold out. Companies have until May 2017 to comply with the law requiring cigarettes to be sold in uniform packs without promotional features. See the ASH webpage on standardised packaging for further information.
Whilst rates of smoking in pregnancy have declined, this continues to be a major health problem for women who smoke and their babies. The Smoking in Pregnancy Challenge Group was established to tackle this issue.
E-cigarettes have the potential to help smokers quit smoking and are considerably less dangerous than smoking. Find out the facts and guidance on the harm reduction webpage.

Twists and turns out on hustings
It's been a busy seven days for the politicos here as the election campaign took more twists and turns with under four weeks to go.
Home › Opinion › Columnists › Will Chambré
It's been a busy seven days for the politicos here as the election campaign took more twists and turns with under four weeks to go.
The 2016 election season is off and running, with voters south of the border now contemplating just exactly they have done - was it a mistake, was it daft, and just what were they thinking when they entered the polling booth?
Sometimes politics is weird. Okay, politics in Northern Ireland is weird most of the time. But when the leader of Sinn Fein praises the DUP you know that you have stepped into the Twilight Zone.
Some say that the largest source of derelict property in Northern Ireland comes in the shape of Parliament Buildings at Stormont, given the unwholesome perception of local politics. But I think that isn't fair.
She's the first woman to become First Minister and the youngest First Minister.
It's 2016, as you may have noticed, and is it much different from 2015? Apparently not, with news of cuts, fallout over public services, terror alerts...
It's December; the season of goodwill is upon us and traffic jams are the least of our MLAs' worries, as they'll not be driving to Stormont until January.
THIS week saw the House of Commons vote to bomb Syria in an attempt to halt ISIL's continued presence in their self-declared 'Caliphate' straddling Iraq and Syria.
A week truly is a long time in Northern Ireland politics. When there are talks about talks, it can seem like an eternity of waiting - a Samuel Beckett world where nothing happens. Or, like last week, a whirlwind of shifting sands in the news agenda.
YOU can almost hear the gnashing and grinding of teeth emanating from the politicians engaged in talks to rescue the ailing Northern Ireland political process as a deal seems tantalisingly close, yet still out of touching distance.
It's sometimes too easy to satirise the shenanigans at Stormont.
So the long months of summer roll along and the muddle amidst our ministers and MLAs grows with each passing day, as dark talk of Assembly collapse and calumny clutter up columns in newspapers and countless hours on radio.
THE old saying "cometh the hour cometh the man" (or woman) seems to be hanging over MLAs heads this coming week, as the Assembly enters into the last three weeks before it breaks for summer recess.
WITH even the Secretary of State succumbing to the weird and wonderful ways of accounting in Northern Ireland, we now have the UK Government agreeing to phantasmagoric budgeting.
The iconic rocker Alice Cooper wrote the song 'I Wanna Be Elected' in 1973, lyrics that echo the last minute rallying cry of so many in the 2015 Westminster election.
A week ago it would have been fair to say that there was more heat around the battle royal in England with Labour and the Conservatives enjoined in bitter – and ongoing – exchanges, than the Westminster poll battles in Northern Ireland.
Most of the people start the year in January, but in the world of business and the revenue the months from January until the end of March are the final quarter of 'their' year.
With all the jockeying and posturing over welfare reform you would almost think that there was an election in May.
So, that was January...With the clock ticking away in the first week of February, it has been a pretty hectic few weeks to start 2015, as Norn Iron's political 'elite' eek their way to making their December promises reality after the Stormont House Agreement.
Come the day cometh the man, goes the old cliché – and for once there appears to be an outbreak of common sense.
This week the department of education launched a consultation on shared and integrated education. At the same time the Assembly's education committee is continuing its inquiry into...wait for it...shared and integrated education.
After the muted euphoria before Christmas on the Stormont House Agreement, politicians must be gulping slightly at the deadlines coming ever closer with each passing second.
Once again Northern Ireland stands on the precipice of outright disaster, with temperatures plummeting, bitter winds, wintry showers and treacherous conditions….and that's just the weather; the political picture is much worse.
Widely trailed, widely discussed, the much awaited announcement from George Osborne on devolving corporation tax to Northern Ireland came on Wednesday when the Chancellor of the Exchequer unveiled all in his Autumn Statement.
BBC Northern Ireland has a comedy panel show, called 'The Blame Game' in which comedians joke and jape about who is to blame for local malaises. The subject of many a skit are the collective politicians in Norn Iron.
When it comes to politics in Northern Ireland you never need to go far to get a sound bite, and the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness produced the proverbial cracker when he described potential pacts in unionism as "an anti-agreement axis".
With the Secretary of State, Theresa Villiers, dangling the carrot of a corporation tax decision 'within weeks', there seems to be a renewed impetus around the talks underway amongst the main parties here in Northern Ireland.
It's like watching that 'Deal or No Deal' show with Noel Edmonds – NI Executive ministers walk up to the middle and open a box hoping that they will not have their budget slashed, all the while hoping for a call from the banker – aka Chancellor George Osborne - to...
The Assembly is a remarkable place. And we make that statement clearly to show that there are times when democracy works. We know you may want to take a deep breath and consider this statement, but it actually happens.
Like the coming of the seasons, there is a certain inevitability about 'talks' coming into the political lexicon every year to 18 months in Northern Ireland.
Away w' ye perfidious Scots…well not quite, even at times the English may have wished it to be so…
When it comes to Northern Ireland, we have the uncanny habit of walking into crises after crises, while there actually is some work actually being done - it's called the reverse swan theory. On the surface there's a flurry of action, while underneath there is calm...
According to a report last week, Northern Ireland's housing market is 'dysfunctional'. Perhaps it's not just the housing market?
It's that time of the year when the balmy showers of summer blot out the sunshine, but joy is in the air. Never mind the schoolchildren, next week most MLAs will be capering down the steps of Parliament Buildings as the summer recess beckons.
When the England football team plays their last World Cup match, Northern Ireland's First Minister and Deputy First Minister will be sitting down with their hot chocolate, relaxing at home.
So, it turns out that the rise of racism can be put down to ingrained attitudes as a result of the Troubles...
This week we learned that the long held theory that the moon was created when a planet slammed into earth, the resulting debris coalescing into our natural satellite has now been largely proven by scientists.
With less than a week to go before the polls open, it is now the final countdown to when candidates learn whether the days and nights canvassing have been worthwhile.
With all the backbiting, arguments, veiled comments, rancour and general air of unpleasantness currently rife in Northern Ireland politics you'd think there was an election near at hand...
Once in a while politics in Norn Iron is quiet and tranquil – I can't quite remember when that was, but am sure it has happened. The week that has gone, however, could certainly not be described as such.
If you have been living in a cave for the past number of months you may not have noticed that our elected representatives have elections grinding political discourse down to little more than polite and not-so-polite point-scoring.
Our wonderful MLAs are about to adjourn for their easter recess, but what a week they have had – surely enough for them to retreat to their constituency offices for a break.
It seems that the honourable men and women of the Stormont executive have undertaken a flawed plan, in terms of the health and wellbeing of Northern Ireland's population, by helping us all stay alive longer.
There are signs that the green shoots of economic recovery are emerging tentatively from the undergrowth of winter woe. The number of those in work is on the up and house prices are rising in some parts of Northern Ireland. But if our embattled populace is...
It turns out that people in Northern Ireland are more concerned about the economy than about politics – who'd have thought it.
There are no winners in war and no winners in a peace of compromise. With no victors there are only victims. Brokers of uneasy truces must face the fact that flaws will emerge.
The Republic's bad debt bank has received an offer for its Norn Iron loan book for the small sum of €4 billion...
Justice Minister, David Ford is in a bit of a pickle this month as his plans to change the criteria for appointing a new chief constable came under a withering fire of (metaphorical) bricks and bottles in a verbal riot against his proposal.
When one makes the effort to scan back over the previous week's worth of political back and forth debates here in the wonderful land of Northern Ireland we can either sigh with relief or despair.
If you were to pay serious attention to the semi-hysterical reporting of Norn Iron politics you would think that 'our wee country' was on its knees politically and culturally.

Little Boots: Ready for the fun! 6 Jan 2009
Check out Little Boots' awesome cover of HotChip's "Ready for the Floor" (Be sure to wait for the vocal). It's awesome for two reasons: First, Little Boots plays the Tenori-On - the revolutionary new digital instrument from Japan that we've featured extensively on this blog. Second, as Iain Tait points out, the artiste clearly "gets the internet" - filmed via a webcam and in what appears to be her bedroom, the performance is intimate, quirky and engaging - and thus a million miles better than your average pop promo video.

The history of the unique hotel
The National is a unique Russian historical and cultural monument that stands apart from Moscow's other hotels.
In more than hundred years of its history the National has lived through times of prosperity and devastation, been at the centre of war and revolution and has shared all the misfortunes and upheavals that have been Russia's fate over this eventful century. The National's guests today include state leaders and prominent politicians, public figures, scientists, businessmen, writers, actors and musicians. The National is one of the centres of public, political and cultural life in Russia today.
Interesting facts:
- The hotel's building designed by architect Alexander Ivanov was built in 1902
- The hotel welcomed the first guests in 1903 with 160 rooms and was named "Natsional'naya". The interior makes the emphatic reference on the main staircase of the unique design made of white marble with gilt plastered decorations and metal barriers.
- From 1903 to 1910 a set of postcards was issued with the representation of the Natsional'naya.
- In 1933, the National became part of the Intourist the state company for foreign tourism.
- At the end of the 1960s, a modern glass and concrete hotel, the Intourist, was built just next to the National. In 1983, the State Committee for Foreign Tourism merged the National and the Intourist hotels into a single complex. In 1989, a new decision was made to reorganize the National-Intourist hotel complex and separate it into two independent hotels again.
- 1995 the National became the part of the Le Meridien hotel chain, one of the world's biggest hotel chains and owns five-star hotels around the world.
- In 2000 on the recommendation of Le Meridien, the National was renamed the Le Royal Meridien National.
- In 2009 the National joined the Luxury Collection by Starwood Hotels & Resorts, a glittering esemble of more than 70 of the world's finest hotels and resorts around the world. The Luxury Collection® is a selection of hotels and resorts offering unique, authentic experiences that evoke lasting, treasured memories.

This is still the same Application Manifest that you store in your Win32 Resource or put next to your executable (i.e. "MyExecutable.exe.manifest" ).
Under Windows XP, this manifest allowed you to create Isolated Applications and Side-by-side Assemblies.
Under Windows Vista, we added the DPI Awareness and execution level for your application.
Under Windows 7, we introduced a new section called compatibility.
If it's not present, your application will get the Windows Vista behavior by default on Windows 7 and future Windows versions. This new section allows us:
1. To provide new behavior to new developer-created software while maintaining the compatibility for existing software.
2. To help Windows deliver greater compatibility in future versions of Windows as well.
For example, an application declaring support only for Windows 7 in the Compatibility section will continue to receive Windows 7 behavior in future version of Windows.
So the question is what's the Windows Vista behavior? In my personal order of preference:
1. Program Compatibility Assistant (PCA)
2. GetOverlappedResult API
3. RPC Default Thread Pool
4. DirectDraw Lock
5. DirectDraw Bit Block Transfer (Blt) to Primary without Clipping Window
Here is an example using the corresponding pre-defines GUIDs:

The Supreme Court issued a unanimous rebuke to President Barack Obama on Thursday, saying he had overreached in issuing recess appointments during brief breaks in the Senate's work.
Obama violated the Constitution in 2012, the justices said, by appointing officials to the National Labor Relations Board during a break in the Senate's work when the chamber was convening every three days in short pro forma sessions in which no business was conducted. Those breaks were too short, Justice Stephen G. Breyer wrote in a majority opinion joined by the court's four other more liberal members.
At the same time, the court largely reinstated an uneasy, centuries-long accommodation between the executive branch and the Senate, in which recess appointments were allowed during more substantial breaks. Breyer said such appointments generally remained permissible so long as they were made during breaks of 10 or more days.
Although there may be few immediate practical consequences of the ruling, given the recent overhaul of the Senate's filibuster rules, the decision was nonetheless momentous, involving a constitutional adjudication of the balance of power between the president and the Senate.
Just how to strike that balance was the subject of a heated dispute between the court's more liberal members and its more conservative ones.
The practical impact of the ruling over time "remains to be seen," Justice Antonin Scalia said in a concurrence. Many experts say that if either house of Congress is controlled by the party opposed to the president, lawmakers can effectively block recess appointments by requiring pro forma sessions every three days. The Constitution says that each house must get the approval of the other chamber to adjourn for more than three days.
But Scalia was skeptical, noting that the president had the constitutional power to set adjournments when the chambers disagreed.
What was certain, he said, was that the court had endorsed a vast expansion of executive power. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. joined the concurrence, which was caustic and despairing.
"The court's decision transforms the recess-appointment power from a tool carefully designed to fill a narrow and specific need," Scalia wrote, "into a weapon to be wielded by future presidents against future Senates."
The decision affirmed a broad ruling last year by a federal appeals court in Washington that had called into question the constitutionality of many recess appointments by presidents of both parties. But the Supreme Court majority rejected the appeals court's reading of the constitutional text, relying instead on historical practices and pragmatic considerations.
Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, expressed dismay and satisfaction in equal measure. "We're of course deeply disappointed in today's decision," he said. But Earnest added that the White House was "pleased that the court recognized the president's executive authority as exercised by presidents going all the way back to George Washington."
Miguel Estrada, a lawyer for Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, the Republican leader, said the decision was a victory for the Senate and the separation of powers. "The Supreme Court reaffirmed the Senate's power to prescribe its own rules, including the right to determine for itself when it is in session, and rejected the president's completely unprecedented assertion of unilateral appointment power," he said.
The issue of recess appointments and what they are meant to accomplish - installing a controversial nominee by circumventing the confirmation process - is largely a moot one on Capitol Hill. Because Senate Democrats late last year changed the rules governing how nominees are approved and made it far easier for the president to get his officials confirmed, there is not much need for a recess appointment for now.
The Constitution's recess-appointments clause says, "The president shall have power to fill up all vacancies that may happen during the recess of the Senate."
Analyzing that language, a three-judge panel of the appeals court said that presidents may bypass the Senate only during the recesses between formal sessions of Congress. Two of the judges went further, saying that presidents may fill only vacancies that came up during that same recess.
The case arose from a labor dispute involving a soft-drink bottling company, Noel Canning. The labor board ruled against the company, saying it had engaged in an unfair labor practice by refusing to enter into a collective bargaining agreement.
The company appealed, arguing that the labor board had been powerless to rule because a majority of its members had been appointed during a 20-day stretch when the Senate was convening every three days in pro forma sessions without conducting business. Obama, who viewed the sessions as a tactic to keep the Senate open so he could not make recess appointments, made the appointments anyway.
Since the members of the board had not been properly appointed, the company argued, its ruling was void.
In asking the Supreme Court to review the appeals court's ruling in the case, National Labor Relations Board v. Noel Canning, No. 12-1281, the Obama administration sought answers to only the broader questions decided by the appeals court. But the Supreme Court agreed to answer a narrower question, too: whether the president may make recess appointments when the Senate is convening every three days in pro forma sessions.
That was the question on which the administration lost.
The board issued 436 decisions during the 18 months when Obama's improperly appointed employees worked there. Gregory J. King, a spokesman for the labor board, said there remained about 100 cases on hold in federal appeals courts awaiting a Supreme Court decision about the legitimacy of the recess appointees. In those cases, the appellants are challenging decisions from when the board had the contested appointees; they assert that the board did not have a legitimate quorum to issue those decisions.
The great majority of those board decisions may be negated by Thursday's ruling by the Supreme Court. At the request of the litigants, many of those cases will be returned to - and reviewed by - the current board, which has a full contingent of five members duly confirmed by the Senate. Because the board has a 3-2 Democratic majority, the current board is likely to affirm nearly all or all of the rulings, legal experts said.

My Views on Violence Against Women and Possible Counter-Measures.
When a senior editor of Deccan Chronicle reached out to me to express my thoughts on the recent spurt of violence against women, it got me thinking. What if that girl had been my own sister? How would I then react? I locked myself in my room and started to jot down my thoughts.
I had a stiff deadline to meet as well. I had to send this 600 word article within an hour to make the deadline for printing. In a way it was a blessing in disguise as it really helped me focus.
Here is the photo of the article that appeared in today's (Thursday, 20th December 2012) edition of Deccan Chronicle. Below the photo is the text of the article.
The entire nation is enraged with the news of the gang-rape of the 23 year old medical student in Delhi. For days in a row, it has been the focus of every major TV channel and newspaper. Facebook timeline and Twitter streams are seening outpouring of anger against the rapists with fervent calls for them to be severely punished. Now that most of the accused have been caught, I'm sure they will be dealt with.
However, my fear is that we as a society and the law making authorities are known for our knee-jerk reactions. The incident happened in a tinted bus? OK. Lets ban tinted glasses. Rumors were spread via SMS. OK, let's ban SMS services!! Was there an objectionable Facebook update? Quick, arrest her! Some of these are understandable because the authorities may be under pressure to show action. But in this case, I really hope there are long term and stricter measures taken other than just imprisoning the culprits.
In my opinion, stringent laws with severe repercussions are the least that should happen. It should give the shudders to the men who even think of committing such an act. I would like to draw a parallel to incidents of ragging that went uncontrolled a couple of decades ago. It was nasty. Some of the acts that the junior students were subjected to do were unprintable. The more the victims kept quiet, the more atrocious the acts became. It took a series of suicides to wake up the nation and for stricter laws to be imposed. Fear of expulsion, imprisonment and a life of doom drove fear into the hearts of possible perpetrators. This cleaned up the system majorly.
I really hope tougher acts are enacted against violence against women. For every woman who gets raped, there are thousands that go unreported. Women wail in solitude fearing repercussions from the society. To change this, we should remove the fear and the stigma of walking to the police station and lodging a complaint. Keeping quiet will only encourage the culprits to continue with their dastardly acts.
Maybe now is a good time for us to dig deeper and look into our entire childhood upbringing. I have seen a stark difference in attitude of boys who study in a co-educational school versus a boys-only school. As a student, I have had the chance to study in both types of schools. While at co-educational schools, both boys and girls get to interact at a very young age and they learn to move with one other. Boys who study in boys-only school go through a bit of culture shock when they enter college. Not only are they less confident but tend to always see girls with coitus thoughts. I feel strongly that more co-educational institutions and early education to treat each other as equals and with respect may be one of the possible answers.
As a father of two daughters, I really want them to grow in a society that respects women and gives them a place to be their own. I would like to paraphrase my friend Vijay Anand who elucidates clearly, "I am ashamed that even in this century we draw such dividing lines, between a man and a woman – and somehow a man has to acknowledge that women are equals. Women are equal whether men admit it or not." I would go one step further in hoping that there comes a time soon when we stop looking at us as men and women and start respecting each other as human beings.
Featured in Hindu BusinessLine's 60SecondsChief.
Meeting D.Murali, Deputy Editor of The Hindu BusinessLine newspaper has been one of the interesting experiences I've had. Murali is one of the very few traditional journalists who have whole heartedly embraced social media.
He invited me to his office to conduct a video podcast interview. After the interview was done and we had lunch, he gave me a printed sheet of paper and asked me to fill for a column called '60 Seconds Chief'. It was a questionnaire. It had 20 questions and was meant to be filled quickly which explains the 60 seconds. Oh boy, it took a much longer time than that. I remember spending over 20 minutes to fill it. I had fun doing it.
Most of the questions deals with aspects of leadership and I thought it was a very innovative concept of authoring a column for the paper.
Here is the original scan of the paper that I had filled.
Murali has an able support staff to back him up. A person called Ramesh then draws a portrait, on the lines of Wall Street Journal. Padmaja, who works at Hindu's office then helps compile everything together. It then finally gets printed in the paper. My interview appeared in yesterday's edition. Here's the scan from the paper.

Writing for The Financial Express on Facebook. What's Your View?
Interview with NDTV-Hindu
This evening, the NDTV-Hindu crew came home to do a shoot for their tech show titled 'Byte it'. It's the soon-to-be-launched TV channel in which NDTV has a 51% stake and The Hindu holds the rest 49%. It was originally named Metronation Chennai but I think its new name 'NDTV Hindu' is far better as it draws upon the strength of two well entrenched brand names. I'm told it will be a Chennai centric channel with content being on the lines of NDTV GoodTimes, Profit & News combined.
We fixed the interview time at 4PM but I came in 45 minutes late, making the crew wait. Got stuck in the previous training and as luck would have it, traffic had to get real bad. After profuse apologies and locking away my pesky kids inside the room, we began the shoot.
One of the episodes was on writing for the web with an intention of making money and the other one was on the browser shoot-out with focus on Google Chrome. We nailed it after a few retakes.
Few interesting observations. Those focus lights were absolutely blinding. The first few seconds were actually painful and my eyes began to well up. It took a while before I could get used to the sheer brightness. If that wasn't enough, the lights were producing a lot of heat and worse, the fans had to be switched off to cut down on ambient noise. I began to sweat almost instantly and had to wipe the sweat every few minutes.
TU Dinesh is the host and the producer of the show and it was heartening to see him again. Just a few years ago, I first met him as a student when I went to guest lecture at the Madras Christian College. He stood out from the crowd then with his enthusiasm. From a student to a trainee at Indian Interacts to his current role at NDTV-Hindu, that's quite an appreciable climb.
I'm told that the new Channel is aiming for a pre-Diwali release. Will get to know the date and time of this episode's telecast as we get closer towards the launch.
And oh, the next time, I should clean up my book shelf. Didn't realize it was this messy.
Cycle of Change : Video Coverage on CNN IBN
Two weeks ago, CNN IBN covered the cycling movement in Bangalore and Chennai as part of its Citizen Journalist program. The team came over to Chennai for a day long shoot. The first part of the program has already been aired. Rohini Mohan, the brain behind this series, sent us the web version of the video.
In Chennai, me and a group of folks are on to a 'Cycle to Work Day' program where we encourage corporate companies to encourage some of their employees to cycle at least once a month to office. In Bangalore, there's a team that encourages cycling in general called 'Cycling Maadi' (meaning Let's Cycle).
CNN IBN wants to track these small citizen driven movements over four weeks. This would require us to document our efforts and the progress on handycams by us. Yup, no professional videographers. It's us and our cameras.
I already played truant. I was supposed to send in my second piece tonight but missed the deadline thanks to a week long trip away from home. Now that I'm back, I hope to quickly catchup. Will let you know how it turns up.
Meanwhile, here's the first episode of the video.

When you're being considered for your first major role and it's to play a sex-addicted teen, you might have to do embarrassing things while auditioning.
Laura Slade Wiggins, who plays Karen Jackson on Showtime's "Shameless," learned that first hand.
"I had to do two blowjob scenes and I'm Southern Baptist," Wiggins told me Nov. 9 while on the Chicago location shoot for the series, which debuted its second season Jan. 8. "Instead of like pantomiming the blowjob I just kind of put my head in my hands and was shameful. [Laughs.] I was so embarrassed."

Fidel Castro was Prime Minister/President of Cuba from 1959 until 2008. Born in about 1926, he grew up in the remote northeastern Cuban province of Oriente where his family owned one of the area's largest sugar plantations. He attended a number of elite secondary schools in Cuba before studying law at the University of Havana, which had been a center of political activity since the 1930s. There, Castro became acquainted with nationalist supporters and participated in political strikes and demonstrations.
After graduation, Castro set up his own law practice in Havana, but continued to be politically active. He ran as a congressional candidate in 1952, but elections were canceled after the March 10th military coup d'etat by General Fulgencio Batista. The next year, Castro led a revolt against the authoritarian and corrupt government of General Batista. Most of the leaders of this revolt, later known as the "26th of July" movement, were killed or imprisoned. After serving 22 months in prison, Castro reorganized the movement and recruited new followers. The movement eventually forced Batista to flee the country shortly before dawn on New Year's Day, 1959.
Since assuming his position as Prime Minister of Cuba on February 16, 1959, Castro was in control of Cuba's government, military, and economy. He transformed the country into a socialist nation with a state-run economy and social programs.
Strained relations with the United States following Batista's overthrow marked Castro's time in power, due to his nationalization of U.S. property in Cuba and alliances with the U.S.S.R. The United States formally ended diplomatic relations with Cuba on January 3, 1961. Shortly thereafter, two of the most well-known clashes between the Cuban and American governments occurred during the administration of President Kennedy. In 1961, the United States backed anti-Castro Cuban exiles in the Bay of Pigs invasion, which resulted in the defeat of the exiles by the Cuban army. In October of 1962, the Cuban Missile Crisis erupted when it was discovered that the U.S.S.R. was building nuclear missile sites on the island. After thirteen days of tense negotiation, the Soviet Union ultimately removed its missiles from the island. Diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba were finally restored more than fifty years later in 2015, when embassies reopened in both countries.

Jan 30, 2014
Wednesday, January 29th, was a busy day on the streams for us at Android Rundown. Check out all the interesting video below.
It wasn't technically an Android Rundown stream, but over on 148Apps' Twitch channel, I played cross-platform release TowerMadness 2 with Limbic Software's Arash Keshmirian and got some juicy info on the game's creation and strategies to master it. And I did it while playing the Android version, too. Don't tell the iOS fans! Click here to watch the whole show or watch the highlights below:
The first level that proved to be a real hindrance was 1-7, Double Cross. After a few attempts, I got some helpful advice from Arash to try and topple the alien menace:
After beating a few challenging levels in a row, I was feeling confident, so Arash challenged me to tackle Invasion mode on level 1-9, Serpentine:
Over on the Android side of things, we did two streams on the Android Rundown Twitch channel on Wednesday.
After the developer of Dawn of the Plow taunted me on Twitter with his ridiculous high score, I decided to hop on Twitch to try and beat his high score. Watch my whole attempt here or watch the highlight of my attempts below:
Finally, I streamed a few releases of recent vintage, in alphabetical order. Watch the entire Bad Hotel, Cat Basket, and Double Dragon Trilogy stream here or watch the individual footage of each game below.
Bad Hotel: Protect a hotel from birds that carry bombs by building up new sections and armed defenses in a haphazard way that's got to violate at least a few building codes, if not laws!
Cat Basket: The world's foremost cat lady simulator. Catch cats while trying to knock away dogs, because forget dogs.
Double Dragon Trilogy: I decided to tackle Double Dragon 2 because I thought I knew it from back on the NES. I was dead wrong, as I died many times. On the easiest difficulty.
As always, follow us on Twitch to find out when we go live next!

Actress Kitty Carlisle Hart dies at 96
EmptyKitty Carlisle Hart, the glittering grande dame of show business who had a seven-decade career, has died. She was 96.
Hart, who died Tuesday of cardiac arrest at her home in Manhattan, had been touring in her one-woman show, "Here's to Life," until stricken with pneumonia in December.
Said her longtime musical director David Lewis: "The show was about everyone she had known -- Irving Berlin, George Gershwin and her wonderful relationship with her husband," Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Moss Hart, who directed "My Fair Lady."
Lewis said when he once asked her "why she would attend events every single night of her life and dress up and be the grande dame Kitty Carlisle Hart, she said that the grim reaper was lapping at her feet. She had to outpace him."
Kitty Carlisle Hart was awarded the National Medal of Arts from President Bush in 1991.
She made her theatrical debut in the 1932 musical comedy "Rio Rita" on Broadway, sang "Love in Bloom" in the film "She Loves Me Not" with Bing Crosby and was still singing almost to the day of her death.
She became a favorite of the first television generation as a witty regular on the game shows "To Tell the Truth" and "What's My Line?"
Hart started each morning by smiling at herself in the mirror, she wrote in her autobiography, a practice that she said captivated men.
Playwright Norman Krasna wanted to marry her, Gershwin proposed to her, and financier Bernard Baruch wanted to leave his wife for her, she said.
At a party given by playwright Lillian Hellman, Kitty Carlisle ran into Moss Hart, who had turned her down for a part 10 years earlier when she auditioned for "Jubilee," the musical he wrote with Cole Porter.
He "called me the next morning and said, 'Are you surprised?' " she said later. "And I said, 'No, I knew you would call.' "
The two were married Aug. 10, 1946, shortly before her 36th birthday.
"Moss directed my clothes the way he directed a play," Hart said. "I happily followed every one of his notions." The couple entertained frequently in their 15-room apartment on Park Avenue or at a weekend farm in Pennsylvania.
Well known for her starring role as Rosa Castaldi in the 1935 Marx Brothers movie "A Night at the Opera," her other film credits include "Here Is My Heart," also opposite Crosby; Woody Allen's "Radio Days"; and "Six Degrees of Separation."
She made her operatic debut at the Metropolitan Opera in 1967 in "Die Fledermaus" and created the role of Lucretia in the American premiere of Benjamin Britten's "Rape of Lucretia."
When movie roles became scarce -- "I was a meteoric bust," she wrote in "Kitty: An Autobiography" -- Hart returned to Broadway as the lead in "White Horse Inn" in 1936 and in "Three Waltzes" the next year.
Her other Broadway credits include "On Your Toes," "Anniversary Waltz" and "Walk With Music."
Hart accepted jobs wherever they were offered, often in summer stock. She sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at many World War II bond rallies and appeared in the 1944 film "Hollywood Canteen."
In her later years, she was seen around town with her latest beau, financier Roy Neuberger.
The entertainer also was a tireless advocate for the arts, serving 20 years on the New York State Council on the Arts.
"I worked hard. I learned how to be a politician and how to get the money out of Albany," Hart said a couple of years ago. "And I learned how to charm five governors. I started with Nelson Rockefeller. I called all my governors 'darling.' "
Hart was born Catherine Conn on Sept. 3, 1910, in New Orleans to Joseph and Hortense Conn. After her father's death, her mother sold their house and took her daughter to New York and then to Europe, where the young Catherine was enrolled in Mont Choisi, a school overlooking Lac Leman in Switzerland. She ended her education at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in London, where she won a certificate.

Ever plan something for therapy that is A HIT with your entire caseload? It happened guys. I made fake, edible, wonderful dirt. Read on because this is a great one.
First, I read like 10 different recipes for various brown, sensory materials. I went to the store and started mixing! Below is what I did:
In case you missed that… the recipe I used is:
1 cup of baking cocoa powder
1 cup vegetable oil
5-7 cups of flour
You might want to add it more flour! It is kind of sticky this way but I love it! The more flour you add, the less sticky it becomes but it also gets lighter in color.
Fold this sheet in half, laminate, and send home with parents OR keep in your bin for easy access!
I also made these adorable little preposition books to practice describing where the bug is! Then we put the bug in the same spot in our box.
I paired this activity with the book In the Tall, Tall Grass and the classic grass craft to go along with it.
Below are the awesome bugs I purchased for this:
Yes I did get all of those. I'm obsessed.

Series: Signalling and Communication in Plants Volume: 19
By: František Baluška(Editor)
419 pages, 21 colour & 15 b/w illustrations, 3 colour tables
Our view of plants is changing dramatically. Rather than being only slowly responding organisms, their signaling is often very fast and signals, both of endogenous and exogenous origin, spread throughout plant bodies rapidly. Higher plants coordinate and integrate their tissues and organs via sophisticated sensory systems, which sensitively screen both internal and external factors, feeding them information through both chemical and electrical systemic long-distance communication channels. This revolution in our understanding of higher plants started some twenty years ago with the discovery of systemin and rapid advances continue to be made. Long-Distance Systemic Signaling and Communication in Plants captures the current 'state of the art' of this exciting topic in plant sciences.
- Long-Distance Signalling in Systemic Acquired Resistance
- Salicyl Acid-Induced Local and Long-Distance Signalling Models in Plants
- Long-Distance Signalling via Mobile RNAs
- Systemic Epigenetic Signalling in Plants
- Long-Distance Signals Produced by Water-Stressed Roots
- Oxygen Deficiency-Induced Root-to-Shoot Communication
- Systemic Signaling in the Maintenance of Phosphate Homeostasis
- Long-Distance Signalling of Iron Deficiency in Plants
- Strigolactones and the Coordinated Development of Shoot and Root
- Auxin as Long Distance Signal Controlling Root Architecture in Response to Nitrogen
- Systemic Signalling in Legume Nodulation: Legume Formation and its Regulation
- Systemic Signalling in Light Acclimation of Leaves
- Systemic Photo-Oxidative Stress Signalling
- Macromolecules Trafficking in the Phloem and Inter-Organ Communication
- Electrical Long Distance Signalling in Plants
- Intercellular Communication in Plants: Evidence for an EMF-Generated Signal that Evokes Local and Systemic Transcriptional Responses in Tomato
- Systemic Wound Signalling in Plants
- Calcium Along the Phloem Pathway as a Universal Trigger and Regulator of Systemic Alarms and Signals
- The Role of Volatiles in Plant-Plant Interactions

An important part of its work is creating awareness about human trafficking. Many people, particularly in the villages, are not aware of the dangers of migration. Learning to recognise the misleading stories of traffickers is a key part of their educational work. In addition, they support victims of trafficking that are often stigmatised and excluded from the community.

MORISTOWN – Fifty New Jersey high school girls from communities such as Newark, Morristown, Rahway and Bloomfield will participate in the upcoming Women's Future Leadership Forum 2010.
Sponsored by Accenture and presented by Junior Achievement of New Jersey (JANJ), this unique forum will be held on Friday, Dec. 10 from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. A diverse group of women executives and professionals who live and/or work in New Jersey will spend the day in one-on-one mentoring with the high school girls.
Pamela J. Craig, chief financial officer at Accenture, will chair the day of coaching and mentoring. JANJ selected these girls because of their achievements in school and their participation in the Junior Achievement High School Heroes Program, where they serve as JA volunteer role models at their local elementary schools.
"We are delighted to be part of this event, after the success of last year's inaugural workshop," said Pamela J. Craig, chief financial officer of Accenture and member of JANJ State Board of Governors. "And, we look forward to engaging with these girls, talking with them about their education and talents and encouraging them to further develop the skills they need to succeed."
In addition to Craig, the panelists for the event represent a wide range of women in leadership roles, including: Patricia M. Barksdale, vice president, Global Wealth Management, Merrill Lynch; Bellaria Jaramillo, CFP®, managing director for Wealth Financial Group, an office of MetLife; Michelle Lee, regional president, Northeast Community Banking, Wachovia, a Wells Fargo Company; and Trisha Rozas, chief information officer, Guy Carpenter.
The panel moderator Nellie Borrero, global director, Inclusion & Diversity, Accenture, will engage the panel in a variety of topics relevant to the high school girls. For example, she will ask the panel to share their experiences in overcoming their greatest challenges and failures, discuss how they stayed connected to community while achieving success and provide insight on the relevance of networking and finding people that mentored and coached them so they could achieve their goals.
The event will also offer the high school girls one-on-one time with the role models, as well as the opportunity to hear speakers sponsored by the Provident Bank Foundation, Infineum USA L.P., ConocoPhillips Bayway Refinery, Cogen Technologies Linden Venture L.P. and DuPont and The Emily C. Specchio Foundation.
