Well... besides the news in this morning's printed edition of "La Nación" (http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1057552) I sent earlier, now "Clarín" (the other major newspaper here) said 3 hours ago in its electronic edition (http://www.clarin.com/diario/2008/10/09/um/m-01777946.htm) the same information, adding that "*In the coming days*, president Cristina Fernández de Kirchner will sign the decree that mandates forwarding the clocks between October 19th and March 14th, 2009(...)" so far for timely legislation... The on-line edition of "La Nación" also states (http://www.lanacion.com.ar/nota.asp?nota_id=1057701) that the Province of Mendoza will *not* adhere to the DST change this year and that other Provinces may follow it in the decision. In fact, a few days ago, the Governor of Mendoza sent a Provincial Law Project to the Province Legislature saying that the Province will not change the time even if the Nation does (http://www.cuyonoticias.com.ar/index.php/politica/1034-mendoza-seguira-la-ho...). So Mendoza is actually being more timely than the Federal Government. Maybe we should modify 'southamerica' to note this... Now, in the complete speculation game, my personal guess is that at least San Luis will also stay in UTC-03:00 and not apply DST... I dunno about other provinces. According to the above article from "La Nación", Provinces which might not adhere (besides Mendoza and San Luis), include Tucumán, Catamarca and San Juan... Worst thing is that I can't seem to find reliable sources other than the press... and for Provincial matters, the National media are not that trustworthy...
