Savvy marketers increasingly turn to Web conferencing to get their message out, to engage their target demographics, and to build relationships.
Some indications:
• A 2014 Content Marketing Institute (CMI) and Adobe survey of marketing professionals found that webinars are considered the third most effective content marketing tactic (tied with the mighty video).
• CMI also found that while marketers rate web conferencing among the 12 most oft-used tactics, they rate them among the top five for their effectiveness.
• A recent McKinsey & Co. survey reports that, "customers are becoming much more comfortable getting the information they need from sales resources through Web conferences."
Effective though it is, the medium is not a magic bullet. Researchers have found that web conferencing works best when is used in the context of an overall marketing plan. For example, CMI surveys have found that 71 percent of companies with a documented marketing strategy found web conferencing effective, compared to 42 percent of companies who did not.
That said, for what kinds of specific purposes is the web conferencing medium considered a good choice?
Marketing: It's a great way to attract people to a product or service, using an educational, explanatory approach
Business meetings and collaboration: The appropriate use of online meetings will considerably cut the cost of travel, allowing for more frequent meetings. And with the varied tools for collaboration provided by good web conferencing platforms, meetings can be rich, engaging, and memorable.
Education: Distance education and after-hours help are just a couple among many examples. Again, the resource-sharing and collaborative tools available make web conferencing a natural and exciting choice here.
Awareness programs: Have something to say to a worldwide audience? A video conference can handle as many people as you and your team can invite.
Originally, web conferencing gained popularity as a means for generating sales leads, but in the past decade it has also become widely used for educational purposes, and the related purpose of establishing thought leadership.
However, there are some other situations in which web conferencing may not be the best alternative:
• To begin a relationship: when getting to know new clients, personal contact is best. Web conferencing is a great choice to maintain a relationship, but to start one, it's important to be able to read your clients' body language, to see the expression on their faces, etc. If, however, you still feel a web conference is the best option, exercise caution. Pay extra attention to the little things--even the breathing at the other end.
• Day-long sessions: The suggested max length for a web conference is two hours. An online meeting is not an ideal choice for a day-long skill-building workshop.
• You don't intend an interactive presentation. If you just want to impart information, a dedicated video is a better option. Web conferencing is all about interactivity.
To decide on your marketing medium, ask the question, 'Would my business benefit by educating prospects on the benefits and necessity of my product/service?'
If the answer is yes, then seriously consider web conferencing. Especially when used as part of a marketing plan, it's a dynamic medium that grabs audience attention, makes a strong impression, and is great for building ongoing relationships.

Details such as hand-troweled finishes, hand-carved peeler logs, millwork, and stone are used to reflect the Great Stone Church, Lawrence-Adams said. To create greater authenticity, 1920s-era tiles salvaged from a Catholic church that burned to the ground will become the roof.
Inside the gift shop, guests can browse books and artifacts detailing the historical significance of the mission.
The shop will also sell crosses, jewelry, garden items and candles. Visitors who seek comfort at the mission can visit a devotional room at the gift shop where Gregorian chants will be played. The shop will close an hour after the mission closes to encourage visitors to linger and stay in town longer.
Not everyone is in favor of the changes. Members of the Capistrano Historical Alliance Committee question the changes in size at the front gate.
"The massiveness of the new entrance stops the eye and almost appears to be a barrier. So much of the charm of Mission San Juan Capistrano is captured in the old photographs, and for that, we are very grateful," Jerry Nieblas said. "However, we also realize that the prior entrance was small and updating was necessary to accommodate future museum space. The new entrance seems to block the visual invitation that existed before – there was a sense that the mission was connected to the community."
The mission's gate project coincided with a couple of the short-term suggestions in the downtown master plan, such as widening the sidewalk across from the mission, adding flowers, trees and streetscape furniture.
"Camino Capistrano will look more like a Main Street," said Laura Freese, former council member and proponent of the city's efforts for the new downtown plan. "There will be more trees, flowers and attractive lighting. People will be able to meander down the streets as well as sit quietly and take in the beauty of the city."
The history of the mission's gatehouse and surrounding walls reaches back more than a century. Admission to the mission in 1916 would have set you back a dime. And since the 1940s, not much has changed – until now. Starting in March, a new gateway entrance will usher visitors into the historic landmark where they can soon browse a new gift shop.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) recently proposed a rule that will greatly expand federal Clean Water Act (CWA) jurisdiction over small businesses and private land owners. NFIB is fighting to stop this regulatory land-grab, but we need your help. Please let us know how this regulation will impact your business.
NFIB Key Voted in support of H.R. 1732, the Regulatory Integrity Protection Act of 2015, which passed the House by a vote of 261 to 155. This legislation would provide relief for small businesses by sending the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Agencies) back to the drawing board on its problematic Waters of the United States rule. On May 19th, NFIB Legal Center Elizabeth Milito testified before the Senate Small Business Committee on the impact of the Waters Rule.
Download the PDF version of the infographic.
What are EPA and ACE proposing?
The EPA and ACE have proposed to change the Clean Water Act's definition for "waters of the United States." Though traditionally limited to navigable waters, and adjacent waters, this new proposal would classify lands as waters of the United States if—at any point during the year—they have any water overflow. The new rule would bring seasonal streams, ponds, ditches, depressions in fields, and large puddles into the CWA's jurisdiction.
NFIB supports Section 105 to H.R. 2028, the FY2016 Energy and Water Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. This provision would provide important regulatory relief from an unprecedented effort by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (the Agencies) to expand federal authority over private property.

- Download NFIB Legal Center Elizabeth Milito's Testimony on the Waters Rule
How am I affected by federal jurisdiction?
If EPA and ACE assert jurisdiction over your land, it will be essentially impossible—or at least tremendously expensive—to do anything with your land. This means you will not be allowed to alter land formations, which prevents landowners from digging or excavating on their properties, or even laying gravel. While it is possible to obtain a special permit to begin using portions of land covered by the CWA, these permits are extremely expensive. CWA permits can cost tens of thousands of dollars; if not more—a major U.S. Supreme Court case from 2006 cited the average cost at $270,000. There are inevitably long waits for permit processing, and there is no guarantee your permit will be approved.
The penalties for violations of the Clean Water Act can be up to $37,500 per day.
Does EPA and ACE have the authority to propose these changes?
When Congress passed the Clean Water Act in 1972, it made clear that the CWA protects "waters of the United States." The courts have understood this to mean traditionally navigable waters, but the precise reach of CWA jurisdiction is a point of controversy. The Supreme Court has taken the issue up three times, and it still remains a murky question. But what is clear is that EPA and ACE cannot expand their jurisdiction beyond what the limitations the Supreme Court has recognized in those cases. Accordingly, NFIB takes issue with the proposed jurisdictional expansion here because EPA and Army Corp are seeking to expand CWA jurisdiction beyond what the Supreme Court has allowed in the past—and in contravention of a 2006 Supreme Court decision.
Did the agencies adequately consider the impact of this change on my small business?
Regrettably, they did not meet this obligation legally required by the Regulatory Flexibility Act. EPA is alleging that since this is a simple definition change, there are no major costs directly imposed on small businesses. There will certainly be costs directly imposed on small businesses through the permit process and other compliance requirements. In addition, the proposed rule makes it clear that many waters will need to be determined on a case-by-case basis, therefore providing little, if any, additional certainty.
The agencies say that most farms are exempted by the rule. Does this rule affect my farm?
It absolutely does. There are some exemptions from the CWA's dredge and fill requirements for prior converted cropland. However, many types of farming activities would still trigger compliance. For example, the use of pesticides on a field newly-defined as a water of the U.S. could be subject to regulation.

the long way to denpasar
Denpasar is the capital city of bali and to get there will take about 3 hours. The usual route is by directly heading south east to denpasar. To really explore bali we choose the longer route may be route less travel. Northen and eastern side of bali.
After waking up at 10 am in the morning feeling hungry we went to the restaurant as last night. Then we rest for a while and planned the route in a near by mosque. Muslim are a minority in bali and most of them live in the west side of bali. Central and east side is a hindu majority. And less and less muslim you will find. After the mosque we direct set to go to lovina beach.
Along the way we past a national part a lushes grean forest and many mongkeys. This is truning to be a great ride through the national park. We past various beach and hindu temples. Before arriving at lovina beach. Here is a place where you can try to find dolphine watch but it must be early in the morning. It already 1pm hot so we headed on to the next location.
More and more beaches from buleleng to singaraja and up to a diving spot on the east side. Most beaches here are visitwd by locals with there family. One the beaches on the grass are cowss moo. My brother want to take a picture of one. Riding by the beach is great.
In one beach saw the remains of a ceremony to burn the dead into ashes. In the same location is a tradition method to make salt. East to that beach is a musem of a dutch ship a shipwrech.
The sun is setting and we haven't been half way to denpasar. Still in the northen part of bali.
Damn. Still a long road ahead.

They have approx 200 girls and the chat is very talkative and helpful their founder has eleven characters so whatever level you are she can switch and help you level.
When i first created a character I joined House of the Banished orion girls and left when they wouldn't grief the dental fleet the way they griefed us Beautiful House doesn't take any crap and i wanted to find a way to protect my fleet so i ask Beautiful House to help. Beautiful house swung into action and grieved the grievers this caused my former house to do the same. I felt sorry that i left my house and went back because i had bonded with them.

Playing it cool
Ray sweeps pair of games from G-P
PORTLAND - The state-ranked Ray girls basketball team remained unbeaten in District 30-4A play on Friday night, but not before Gregory-Portland gave the 25th-ranked Texans quite a scare in the second half.
Ray survived the Lady Cats' frantic third-quarter comeback to post a 48-32 road victory.
The Texans (20-7 overall, 6-0 district), who reached the Region IV-4A final last season, squandered a 10-point, third-quarter lead only to rally thanks to a 17-5 run in the final period.
"We didn't panic," Ray coach Roy DeLaPena said. "We have some good leaders on this team. We bounced back and took control."
G-P (20-9, 2-4), which reached the Region IV-4A semifinals last season, dropped its fourth straight district game.
"The first round of district didn't go like we wanted. But there's a second round, and our players will leave this game with a little more confidence than they had going into it," Lady Cats coach Vince Stark said.
G-P erased a 26-16 deficit by scoring 11 consecutive points late in the third to reclaim the lead, 27-26.
The Lady Cats used five straight points by guard Tiffany Eikel, a four-point play by post Sarah Wisor and a layup by forward/guard Candace Walls to take the lead.
Ray countered by scoring on its next two possessions, as guard Erin Longoria's layup and post Crystal Yeverino's 3-point play gave the Texans a 31-27 lead late in the third.
Guard Ashley Viera drove for another bucket to push Ray's lead to six early in the fourth quarter.
Post Taysia Taylor, who with Yeverino played through second-half foul trouble, added a driving layup and guard Shelby George sank a free throw on the Texans' next two possessions to help them regain command, 36-27.
Yeverino followed with another layup — after receiving a nice pass from Taylor — to give Ray an 11-point lead.
G-P wouldn't come closer than seven in the final four minutes of play.
Yeverino and Longoria led Ray with 16 and 11 points respectively.
Sarah Wisor's 11 points led the Lady Cats.
RAY BOYS 66, GREGORY-PORTLAND 59: The G-P boys are no longer undefeated in District 30-4A play. The Wildcats (18-8, 4-1) can blame the comeback-minded Texans (9-11, 3-1) for that.
Ray's second-half comeback was even better than its first-half effort on Friday night. Texans guard Eric Tapia had a game-high 24 points and fueled a decisive 12-1 fourth-quarter run to help erase a four-point deficit in the final four minutes of play.
Tapia nearly made the run all by himself by scoring the first eight points, the last two coming on a runner in the lane. Post Randy Hernandez (who finished with 10 points) had a layup and guard Robert Gonzalez (12 points) added two free throws to close the spurt and give Ray a 58-51 advantage.
G-P later pulled within 58-57 on a 3-pointer by Ryan Kinney (who had 10 points) and a conventional three-point play by Patrick Gutierrez (11 points).
Tapia made four free throws, and Gonzalez had a key putback to help protect the lead and preserve the victory.
Guard/forward Nate Velasco had a team-high 21 points and four of the Wildcats' nine 3-pointers in the game.
Matthew Garcia also had 12 points for the Texans and made three of their seven 3-pointers.
Ray used a 26-8 first-half run to overcome an early 12-point deficit and take a 28-22 lead into the half.
G-P countered with a 28-18 run to start the second half to take a 50-46 lead on Velasco's two free throws with a little more than four minutes remaining.

It's a really beautiful perfume. Estee Lauder tends to steer toward light, floral fragrances, which I find dull and common. Sensuous, like the classic fragrances of old has heart and body, and is the sort of scent I can imagine Rita Hayworth wrapping herself in. The honey note really brings out a playful vibe in the deep, sensual mix-- but it's not so heavy that it brings to mind animalic urges. Sensuous is not a lustful fragrance, nor a flirty one. It very perfectly finds a balance between the two to be just seductive enough without being overpowering. The only problem I have with it is that it doesn't last as long as I would like, it melts into the skin after an hour or two, leaving only the tiniest hint of ever having existed.

nice overall
Although I LOVE the way this perfume smells upon the initial spritz, for some reason I find that the drydown gives me a headache. Maybe it's just not compatible with my skin chemistry.

Media Slammed Mitt's Food Donations, Now Sandy Victims Plead for… Food Donations
The Old Media spent several days last week attacking Mitt Romney for his October 30 event in Ohio where he presided over supporters coming together to donate money, clothing, and food for the victims of Hurricane Sandy. Then the food donations were ridiculed. Yet, now ABC News is reporting that victims of the storm are now calling for food donations from the public.
Naturally on the day of the Romney event, the very left-wing MSNBC went wild attacking Romney for gathering canned food for the victims. Their "reporting" makes it clear why Pew rated MSNBC as the most biased cable station on the air.
But the extreme left-wing MSNBC isn't the only Old Media outlet that attacked Romney for the donations. The liberal Slate told Mitt to "can the cans." The equally liberal Salon.com also attacked Mitt for the donations.
Aside from the admitted left-wing outlets such as those above, the covert lefties at the Washington Post spun negative about the donations. As did Bloomberg, and The New York Times. Others did as well.
CNN, for instance, tried to make the Romney rally into some sort of sham because the campaign itself made some of the donations.
Even ABC News itself made light of Romney's event.
Yet, now, only days later, that same ABC is reporting that victims of Sandy are calling for food donations!
"The residents of Staten Island are pleading for help from elected officials, begging for gasoline, food and clothing three days after Sandy slammed the New York City borough," ABC reported on November 4.
"This is America, not a third world nation. We need food, we need clothing," Staten Island Borough President Jim Molinaro said today. "My advice to the people of Staten Island is: Don't donate the American Red Cross. Put their money elsewhere."
This is so typical of "the news," isn't it? Instead of reporting, they opine. For days the media ridiculed Romney for the food donation event, yet now they are reporting that Romney's initial instinct was exactly what was needed.

The dabbling in different sounds and textures results in a surprisingly cohesive effort for DMST, and one that successfully sustains interest throughout. [3 Mar 2007]
The band seems unsure of what instincts to follow to get more intimate, streamlined rock; their attempts produce a hodgepodge of style that in turns prevents the kind of gut reaction that normally attracts listeners to rock in the first place.
Despite all the haunting vibes, woodwinds, and honeyed strings, rock music's guitar/bass/drums dynamic is dominant on Rust; it hovers between the rambunctious clatter of Broken Social Scene (which shares two members with DMST) and the elegant contortions of Jaga Jazzist.

The Top 3 Indian Developers
Forget Brazil, forget Australia, forget France. Since many years ago, it's a well known secret that the next generation of super developers will come from India. And if we say the "next" is because the current one is working abroad for already consolidated companies. In the meanwhile, compared to the limitless ocean of available apps on market, the amount of Indian apps for India or nearby consumers is relatively scarce.
Anyway, let's briefly go over the three (arguably) most relevant Indian developers, in order to encourage others to follow their trail.
Indiagames may be better known for their work as distributors, but they have released quite a bunch of popular games. Perhaps the most played is Hitout Heroes, one of their many cricket games for mobile, though we should also highlight Heroine, Chennai Express, and other games tied in to popular Bollywood films.
Reliance Entertainment
Reliance is a monster in Indian media, and also in a greater or lesser degree, behind games linked to both Hollywood blockbusters like Real Steel]/b] and successful Bollywood films. In the meanwhile, they have also launched casual games about the popular character Chota Bheem such as [b]Mice Mayhem for Android. They have their own cricket games, by the way.
Gameshastra India
Gameshastra is most likely to be one of your favorites, not only for their Krrish 3 The Game but also for Race 2 and other games. Even some of them try to lure Asian users to US culture, take as examples Route 66 and Rangy Lil. As the other aforementioned developers, they might not always be super high quality games, but are fairly above average and are usually very enjoyable.
So far, these seem the most important Indian developers, though there are many more. And most important, though, we're sure the best is yet to come and soon we'll enjoy high quality, highly creative Indian games developed in an unexpected place. Who knows if the next Angry Birds comes from India. In the end, Indian users have the key for it.
Don't forget to add your favorite Indian developers in the comments below.

Red Alert: A Path Beyond brings the exciting storyline and epic clashes from the classic Westwood Studios game, Command & Conquer: Red Alert to realm of first person shooters, with a twist. We've remained loyal to the style and feel of the 1996 classic, while integrating content from its expansions Counterstrike and The Aftermath with a bit of updated history to add to the mix. Built off the W3d engine Westwood Studios built for classics such as Earth & Beyond and Command & Conquer: Renegade finished up in 2001, we help bring the fight to you as you play out your role as any one of a number of infantry classes participating in team-based combat that often involves land, sea, and air combined-arms clashes that just don't happen in any other game. Oh, and did we mention it is FREE?
The basic tanks for Soviets and Allies alike have been given a facelift with new models and camo. And, we're looking for new testers!
Posted by Chronojam on Jan 17th, 2012
A few weeks ago, we posted up a render showing off the new look for the Heavy Tank to our images section. For version 2.1.1 the venerable Heavy will sport four color schemes with a sleeker (but still sturdy) profile, but also will receive some improvements to its speed and traction so that it can keep up with the Medium Tank a bit better and handle slopes easier. Here's an in-game shot we grabbed; we're looking into a few tweaks due to popular demand for some small changes... including a big red star on the front.
That's the model Kane000 did with some slight adjustments by TheBeerinator, who also did the texture whilst Eggman rigged it up.
The Light Tank has also been given some love. Kane000's model once again, rigged by Eggman, and textured by MightyBob. A smaller profile for this tank as well. While the Light Tank still accelerates (even up steep inclines) rapidly, its ability to rapidly turn is being cut back a bit and its overall mass has been reduced so that it can no longer easily ram other vehicles. However, its been given a slight damage boost. Like the Heavy, all four color schemes are available. Here it is, in-game.
We've got some operational changes. We'd like to welcome Eggman891 back as staff, and as you can see, he's already hard at work. BaneOfSorrows will also be taking over as the testing director, which was previously handled by Deadpikle.
All players are welcome to submit bugs to our Bugzilla tracker. Due to the success of the open testing we tried recently, that program will resume in the future. For now, because we've got need for private testing for this and other projects, we're looking to take on more internal testers.
Anybody interested in becoming a Bluehell Productions tester should contact Chronojam via private message on our forums. Please give us the username you use most often while playing APB or Reborn online, tell us how long you've played any of the three projects, and let us know your time zone and availability. We'll post a list of the new testers once we've finished picking them out. Former testers can certainly re-apply.
Finally, a big thanks to everybody who voted for us for Indie of the Year 2011. We really appreciate the continued support! It's very encouraging to see people happy about what we do.
Loving it :)

MLP is officially too cool for school! Check out this awsome student and his physics class presentation devoted to… the physics of My Little Pony!
(via @KaylaBatman)
Fast forward to about 1:23 for the My Little Pony cameo.
Want to grab your own Rarity whose horn lights up? Amazon's got them in stock right now.
When it comes to being a My Little Pony fan, I guess you could say that we were all born this way!
MLP: FiM has become a real fan favorite for pony enthusiasts but is also reaching a wider audience beyond pony fandom. In what I'm hoping is a new trend or meme, there have been two fantastic video mash-ups recently taking footage from Friendship is Magic but combining it with much more hardcore audio. Give them both a watch, you won't regret it. 😉
First up, is The Elder Scrolls VI: Equestria which has the audio from the Skyrim trailer.
(Thanks to The Escapist for the heads up on this one!)
Next up is one called PonyCraft which mashes the audio from StarCraft II's cinematic launch trailer and clips from 17 different episodes of FiM. But what makes it even more epic is that they took the time to actual sync all the audio up with the clips so the ponies' mouths actually match the lines they've been given to say. Some really amazing work on this one.
(Thanks to GamrFeed for letting us know about this video.)
So, now that you've watched them both, I have to ask… which one was your favorite?
While the 1980s had those plastic mask costumes (which I weirdly cannot find a picture of anywhere, what's the deal with that internet?), Hasbro has yet to come out with an official My Little Pony costume for the generation of ponies currently in stores.
However, that would never stop pony fans of all ages from dressing up as an MLP for Halloween! Some intrepid and crafty people have created costumes themselves and are selling them only. I've complied a small gallery below of some I liked.
While the ones on eBay are trying to be more like official My Little Pony figures, if you don't mind modifying what you buy a bit, there are a wide variety of Unicorn costumes for children and adults alike. Just sew a symbol or cutie mark on and suddenly you have your very own My Little Pony costume.
Don't have time or the cash to buy a costume? Make your own My Little Pony costume! Here are three homemade My Little Pony costumes to give you inspiration.
Have you dressed up as an MLP character for Halloween? Please share your pictures with us below!

Tension Mounts as Dissidents Join Regional Leaders at Panama Summit
April 9, 2015
Clashes between Cuban and Venezuelan dissidents and pro-government supporters marked the initial proceedings of the Summit of the Americas in Panama City on Wednesday, two days before the summit officially begins. Cuba's participation in the summit for the first time has sparked encounters between pro-Castro supporters and the Cuban exile community, many members of which are critical of Cuba's invitation to the summit and the U.S. government's warmed ties with the country.
A civil society forum, attended by Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela and former U.S. President Bill Clinton, began an hour late after Cuban officials and supporters staged a protest against the presence of Cuban dissidents, whom they referred to as "mercenaries" and "terrorists," as reported by EFE and AP. Venezuelan representatives also left the event in a show of support for the Cuban delegation.
Also on Wednesday, police reportedly arrested 12 people after supporters of the Cuban government came to blows with dissidents outside the Cuban embassy.
Cuban activists began arriving in Panama over the weekend, when it was reported that Rosa Mariá Payá, a high-profile Cuban dissident, was detained by Panamanian authorities upon her arrival in the country. Officials later released Payá and issued an apology.
Meanwhile, a protest in a Panama City park reportedly drew approximately 300 Venezuelans who demanded the release of political prisoners in their country.
Lilian Tintori, the wife of imprisoned Venezuelan opposition figure Leopoldo López, arrived in Panama Wednesday alongside Mitzy Capriles de Ledezma, the wife of imprisoned Caracas mayor Antonio Ledezma. On Tuesday, prosecutors in Venezuela formally charged Ledezma with attempting to overthrow President Nicolás Maduro. The two women have decried what they describe as a deteriorating respect for human rights Venezuela and have called for the release of their husbands and more than opposition 30 mayors detained by the government. Tintori is reportedly expected to meet with President Bill Clinton while in Panama City.

Venezuelan Attorney General Denies Leopoldo López Parliamentary Candidacy
March 5, 2015
Luisa Ortega, the Venezuelan Attorney General, declared Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López ineligible to run for parliament as a candidate for the Mesa de la Unidad Democrática (Democratic Unity Roundtable—MUD) until 2017. Ortega's announcement followed a Uníon Radio interview with Jesús "Chúo" Torrealaba, executive secretary of MUD, who had received a letter from three imprisoned opposition leaders—López, former Caracas Mayor Antonio Ledezma and former San Cristóbal Mayor Daniel Ceballos—on Tuesday night requesting consideration of López' candidacy for the election.
"It's not that it's a null candidacy, rather that he cannot run," said Ortega, alluding to an earlier court ruling against López. As mayor of the Chacao municipality of Caracas in 2005, López was banned from running for any public office, after he was accused of receiving money from the state-run oil company Petróleos de Venezuela (Petroleum of Venezuela—PDVSA). Despite a hearing held by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights that overturned the ruling in 2011, the Venezuelan Supreme Court upheld the original decision.
López has been imprisoned since February 18, 2014, accused of acts against the government, including damage to public property, public incitement and unlawful assembly. An investigation is still underway for Antonio Ledezma, the former mayor of Caracas, who has been imprisoned since last month for his connection to two young people accused of conspiracy against the government. In both the case of Ledezma as well as Ceballos, Ortega was unable to say whether the two would be eligible for the MUD elections.
Currently, there is no date set for the MUD elections, although they will most likely be held at the end of the year.
Maduro Enajenado de la Realidad Venezolana
February 20, 2015
Luego de superar el único intento de golpe de Estado registrado en los últimos 15 años, el entonces presidente de Venezuela, Hugo Chávez, ordenó la detención de Henrique Capriles Radonski—un joven alcalde opositor—quien debía manejar la seguridad de la Embajada de Cuba en medio de la crisis política nacional.
El confuso incidente—Capriles afirma que intentaba mediar entre opositores y los diplomáticos de La Habana, mientras que el gobierno lo acusaba de poner en peligro a la delegación—nunca fue esclarecido. Capriles, siendo alcalde electo del municipio Baruta, permaneció cuatro meses detenido en la sede de la dirección de inteligencia sin un proceso judicial. Los cargos fueron descartados en 2006.
En 2014, Nicolás Maduro, heredero político de Chávez, y Leopoldo López, el exalcalde de Chacao, repitieron el capítulo de 2002. López, un joven economista egresado de Harvard, fue compañero de partido de Capriles durante algunos años y se convirtieron en la nueva cara de la política venezolana. Jóvenes, exitosos y con aparente ambición política, han sido blancos constantes de la "revolución bolivariana." El año pasado el gobierno ordenó la detención de López, quien el 12 de febrero había liderado una protesta estudiantil demandando la renuncia de Maduro. Después de entregarse voluntariamente, López ha permanecido recluido en una cárcel militar, sin derecho a visitas, por un año. ¿La acusación? Golpismo.
Este jueves 19 de febrero, el jefe de Estado pidió cárcel para el alcalde mayor de Caracas, Antonio Ledezma, quien luego fue detenido por la policía política en un operativo poco claro. Doce horas después del arresto, ninguna información oficial ha sido divulgada, excepto el "Ledezma va a ser procesado" que Maduro esbozó la misma noche del jueves.
Paralyzed on Economic Reforms, Venezuela Will Mortgage Citgo
February 3, 2015
Since before the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez in March 2013, his successor, Nicolás Maduro, has remained paralyzed to enact reforms needed to escape the economic dysfunction Chávez left behind.
In his latest national address on the economy on January 21, Maduro finally acknowledged the recession and shortages faced by Venezuelan citizens. Yet, he failed again to clearly implement any of the pragmatic economic reforms[1] advocated by Rafael Ramírez, the former minister of energy and former president of Petróleos de Venezuela, S.A. (Petroleum of Venezuela—PDVSA)— such as a de facto bolívar-to-dollar devaluation via unification of Venezuela's multi-tier foreign exchange (FX) system, measures to attract more foreign financing for oil production, and removing internal price controls, especially for gasoline. Meanwhile, in September 2014, Ramírez was demoted to foreign minister, and then to UN ambassador several months later.
According to insiders, Maduro's failure to implement pragmatic reforms stems principally from two sources. First, within the raging confrontation over economic policy between "pragmatic" and "ideological" factions of the ruling Partido Socialista Unido de Venezuela (United Socialist Party of Venezuela—PSUV), Maduro has found himself both dependent on militant chavista "colectivos," and simultaneously at risk of these groups turning against him. These often-armed, barrio-based gangs are aligned with the PSUV's ideological faction and have no patience for pragmatic economic reforms.
Second, Maduro faces low voter approval ratings due to the continued collapse of the Venezuelan economy. As a result, he clearly fears triggering a popular backlash against the pain that reforms would bring in the near-to-medium term—and the danger that the ideological wing of his party would seize upon any such opportunity to denounce him as a "neoliberal" and push him from power.
Maduro Addresses Venezuelans about Faltering Economy
January 22, 2015
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro made his annual address to the legislature on Wednesday, defending his government's socialist economic model and accusing the Venezuelan political opposition of waging an "economic war" that has led to the country's current financial crisis.
That crisis has worsened in recent weeks as global oil prices have plummeted and the price of Venezuelan crude, the country's chief export, fell from $98 per barrel in 2013 to just $39 per barrel this week. Venezuela's inflation rate, which Maduro estimated at more than 64 percent last year, is currently the highest in the Americas. The IMF's Alejandro Werner predicted on Wednesday that Venezuela's economy will contract 7 percent in 2015, and Maduro said in his speech that the economy had contracted 2.8 percent in 2014.
Maduro was expected to announce possible cuts to social spending and a devaluation of the bolivar during his speech. However, while Maduro said he was willing to consider raising the price of gasoline and restructuring the country's three-tiered exchange rate system, he rejected the idea of a currency devaluation and instead announced that social spending would continue, promising to wage raises and pensions by 15 percent and build more low-income housing.
Supporters of Maduro's government are expected to rally on Friday, prior to a planned opposition protest march on Saturday.
U.S. Senate Sanctions Venezuela on Human Rights
December 10, 2014
The U.S. Senate approved a bill on Monday that would impose sanctions on Venezuelan officials found responsible for violating demonstrators' rights during anti-government protests that left more than 40 dead and 800 injured since February. The Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Act authorizes sanctions that would freeze assets and ban visas of individuals that authorized, directed or otherwise assisted the government in infringing on "the legitimate exercise of freedom of expression or assembly" of protesters.
Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (D-NJ) introduced the bill, which was passed by a voice vote. "For too long, Venezuelans have faced state-sponsored violence at the hands of government security forces and watched their country's judiciary become a tool of political repression," said Menendez. The House passed a similar bill in May with a broader number of targets, but the Obama administration insisted sanctions would interfere with negotiations between the Venezuelan government and the opposition. Earlier this month, White House officials signaled they would be willing to move forward with additional sanctions.
On Tuesday, Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro blasted the "insolent imperialist sanctions" and accused the U.S. of meddling in his country's affairs. The Maduro government has already faced international criticism for its heavy-handed response to the mostly peaceful demonstrations. In May, the United Nations condemned the violence and called for the government to adhere to its human rights obligations.
The new U.S. Senate bill comes as Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez continues to be held in prison, while Congresswoman Maria Corina Machado was recently accused of plotting to overthrow the Maduro administration. The Senate's version of the bill must now be passed in the House, and signed by President Obama for it to become law.
Venezuelan Opposition Leader Charged with Conspiracy
December 4, 2014
The Venezuelan state prosecutor's office formally charged former Congresswoman Maria Corina Machado with treason and conspiracy for allegedly plotting to kill President Nicolas Maduro this Wednesday.
The indictment comes after a chain of emails plotting to start a coup to overthrow the Maduro administration surfaced in May, allegedly between U.S. officials and Machado, an opposition leader who was kicked out of the National Assembly in March after she publically supported the protests against the government earlier this year. In one email Machado reportedly wrote, "I believe the time has come to join forces, make the necessary calls, and obtain the financing to annihilate Maduro […] and the rest will come falling down."
Machado denied all charges, claiming her email accounts were tampered with and that the accusations are an attempt to silence the opposition voice.
Venezuela's most publically known opposition leader, Leopoldo López, has been in jail since February, despite pleas for his release from international organizations, including The UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD), who declared his detention illegal and ordered his immediate release. Arrest orders for conspiracy against the government were also ordered for opposition figures Henrique Salas Romer, Diego Arria, Ricardo Emilio Koesling, Gustavo Tarre Briceño, Pedro Mario Burelli, and Robert Alonso.
The public prosecutor's office released a statement threatening to punish anyone "from inside or outside national territory" with jail time should they seek to "conspire to destroy the nation's republican political style." If Machado is found guilty, she could face eight to 16 years in jail.
Venezuela Wins UN Security Council Seat
October 17, 2014
Venezuela Wins UN Security Council Seat
Venezuela secured a temporary seat on the United Nations Security Council in the first round of voting yesterday, earning 181 votes in support of its candidacy—52 over the 129 vote threshold it needed to clinch the seat. The win was trumpeted by Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro as a sign that the broader international community holds the country—which is caught in dire economic straits and has been roundly criticized for its record on human rights—in high esteem. "We are a country beloved and admired by the whole world," Maduro is reported to have said upon receiving news of the ballot results.
Venezuela's last bid for a non-permanent seat on the Security Council, in 2006, was strongly opposed by the U.S. and ultimately foundered. This year the country ran unopposed to fill the one available seat on the council from Latin America, and received unanimous support from a caucus of 33 Latin American and Caribbean nations. Significantly, the Obama administration did not mount a diplomatic campaign against the country's bid, despite calls by U.S. lawmakers for such an effort.
However, Venezuela's win has provoked some criticism. After the vote, the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, said in a statement that "Venezuela's conduct at the UN has run counter to the spirit of the UN Charter, and its violations of human rights at home are at odds with the Charter's letter." According to the UN Director of Human Rights Watch, Philippe Bolopion, "The security council's new membership could prove more problematic on human rights issues, with several generally rights-friendly countries leaving and others coming on board with poor voting records." Venezuela's election to the Security Council comes just weeks after the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detentions called on the country to release opposition political leader, Leopoldo López.
Venezuelan Opposition Leader Has Sights Set on 2015 Elections
October 8, 2014
Jesus Torrealba, the new chief of Venezuela's Mesa de la Unidad Democrática (Democratic Unity Roundtable—MUD) opposition coalition, has targeted Venezuela's 2015 parliamentary elections as the opposition's next strategic opportunity to end chavista rule. After narrowly losing the presidential election to President Nicolás Maduro in 2013, the opposition coalition is now looking to win a majority in the National Assembly next year in order to put pressure on the president and potentially force a recall referendum in 2016.
Although the ruling Partido Socialist Unido de Venezuela (United Socialist Party of Venezuela—PSUV) maintains control over the executive and legislative branches, Maduro's administration has been beleaguered by a rapidly declining economy, 63 percent inflation, high crime rates, and shortages of basic goods.
In addition to the months-long protests against the Maduro government that engulfed several major cities in Venezuela earlier this year, the administration has also come under fire from a dissident faction on the Left critical of what it sees as a departure from the Bolivarian Revolution's ideals. "What we have now is deterioration ...This is chavismo's worst moment ever," Gonzalo Gomez Frieire, leader of the dissident Marea Socialista (socialist tide) told Reuters.
While the MUD has historically been known as a fractured party—most notably when former presidential candidate Henrique Capriles and imprisoned opposition leader Leopoldo López responded differently to the popular protests in February—many see an equally fractured PSUV as the primary explanation for Maduro's lack of an adequate response to Venezuela's recession.
President Maduro's approval rate dropped to 35 percent in September in light of the continued economic crisis.
Monday Memo: UN General Assembly and Climate Summit – Leopoldo López – El Salvador – Conflict in Guatemala – Clorox
September 22, 2014
This week's likely top stories: World leaders gather for the UN General Assembly; Leopoldo López' trial resumes in Venezuela; U.S. to approve aid to El Salvador; 8 killed in Guatemala conflict over cement plant; Clorox discontinues operations in Venezuela.
World leaders converge in New York; thousands march for action on climate change: Some 140 heads of state have arrived in New York City to participate in the UN General Assembly at United Nations headquarters, where the General Debate opens on Wednesday, September 24. Along with U.S. President Barack Obama, the presidents of Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Bolivia, the Dominican Republic and Honduras are expected to speak on Wednesday, followed by more speeches from Latin American leaders throughout the week. Meanwhile, this Sunday, over 300,000 demonstrators marched through Manhattan to call for international leaders to take action regarding climate change. The march came ahead of Tuesday's 2014 UN Climate Summit, where world leaders will be discussing ways to reduce emissions, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and develop clean energy, among other goals, and large companies will be making pledges to reduce their carbon footprint. This week's summit comes ahead of two global summits on climate change in Peru and France—the COP20 conference in Lima in December, and the COP21 conference in Paris in 2015.
Leopoldo López goes to trial: The trial of Venezuelan opposition leader Leopoldo López will resume today over López' role in the national protests that rocked Venezuela this spring. López has been imprisoned for seven months on charges that he had incited violent protests in February, including charges of criminal association and arson. López and his family have maintained his innocence, and human rights groups have said that López and other Venezuelan political prisoners should be released. Until now, López' defense team has not been allowed to produce evidence or witnesses to support his case. López could face more than 13 years in prison if he is found guilty.
U.S. will provide $277 in aid to El Salvador: The U.S. is expected to sign off on a $277 million economic aid package for El Salvador now that the U.S. Treasury Department has confirmed that it will not hold up the funds due to its concerns about money laundering. El Salvador is currently in the process of reforming its standards to police money laundering and corruption more effectively, recently passing a bill to report on the financial transactions of powerful individuals and their families. $101 million of the U.S. aid package has been allocated to provide job training for young Salvadorans who might otherwise leave the country and migrate to the United States.
Clash over cement factory in Guatemala kills 8: At least eight people were killed and dozens injured in a clash late Friday between community members in the town of Los Pajoques, about 25 miles from Guatemala City. The chain of violent events is one in a series of conflicts surrounding a cement plant and highway that have been under construction in the town of San Juan Sacatepéquez since July 2013, and that many community members oppose due to environmental concerns. Cementos Progreso, which owns the plant, said that its employees and the families that have sold their land have been harassed by the plant's opponents. Meanwhile, protesters who have opposed the project since 2007 say that they have received threats from people they believe are affiliated with the project.
Clorox to leave Venezuela: Clorox Company announced today that it will immediately discontinue its operations in Venezuela due to hyperinflation, supply shortages and price freezes. The company is seeking to sell its assets, but the move will cost Clorox $65 million. The household products company said that the economic situation in Venezuela forced Clorox to sell products at a loss, and the company could not break even, despite price increases approved earlier this year by the Venezuelan government. A number of other U.S. companies, including Exxon Mobil and American Airlines, have either left Venezuela entirely or drastically cut their operations in the country.

Color: White/Blue/Silver
Average weight: 12.6 oz. (Size 8.5)
Very nice,comfortable shoe but I don't know why I got holes on each side of my pinkie.
First of all the look of the Babolat shoe always catches my eye, so stylish. Comfort right out of the box is another reason I buy this shoe. Hardly any break in time needed.
These tennis shoes are fabulous, good looking and great fit. Love them!
Comfortable and great looking shoes. Michelin sole guarantees long lasting, My 2nd pair!
I play almost daily for two to three hours. These shoes are comfortable and support quick movement and balance. Highly recommended. Tennis rocks!
I play daily and these are most comfortable! The price was great!
Love these shoes! They are the best shoes I've ever purchased/worn. They fit well. I have bunions and they have lots of room at the toe box and not a lot of stitching so nothing is pressing on your toes. They have a lot of cushion so you get a lot of support. Super comfortable. I love them so much I have 3 pairs. And great price!
This shoe is true to fit and lite weight. It has a middle arch for support which why I bought. Just a little flat feeling on court motion. Hoping it just needs break in.
I have worn this shoe before and was happy to find it at a great price at Midwestsports.com. The shoe is very comfortable and durable and runs true to size. I have always found Midwest Sports to have great service...win-win!
I have had these shoes and have always enjoyed them. They seem to have a nice snug fit around my foot which I like on the tennis court. The clearance price was great so may order more!
I was worried about ordering a shoe online that I hadn't tried on first, but the fit was perfect. I wear a 9 in regular shoes and a 9.5 in tennis shoes, and the fit was just right. It's also lightweight and good-looking. Great price, too.
Love this shoe. I am an avid tennis player and these shoes stayed with me through a whole tennis season. Love that the rubber goes up and over all the toes. Plus, I love the classic white tennis court shoe. Looks so clean and professional.
I had the Babolat shoe previously and enjoyed the shoe. I like this shoe because it is wid, doesn't hurt my bunion. It is soft and flexible. Comfortable first day on the courts. Total feel of control while playing. Good looking shoe.
I searched all over for a good price on these shoes and was so happy when I saw them on Midwest's website! I have never used this site before but i will definitely be a repeat customer!
This shoe seems true to size (7 1/2) and is comfortable. Seems to have good support. I've only played in them twice, and they feel kind of stiff, heavy, and clunky. Hoping they will break in.
I like this shoe, however there is a break in time, they are a little stiff at first, but wear well.
Excellent service with the delivery and exchange for the shoes. Really like the quality of the shoe very nice looking lightweight. I felt it ran a little small though. I normally wear 8 1/2 and I had to exchange it for a nine.
Free tee shirt with purchase surprised me with its quality. Great fit and styling..
These are my favorite tennis shoes. Great arch support, light, and easy to wear first time out . . . no wearing in needed. Comfort at first wear!
The shoe looks good but when I tried it on, it seems very shallow around the ankle. I have a narrow foot but the shoe also seems too narrow to have good stability. I returned it without trying it on the courts.
I like Babolat shoes for tennis. They are light yet provide enough support for my feet.
These shoes were comfortable right out of the box and true to size. They are not too heavy. I like them.
Don't Forget...
