Mar 12, 2014 GMTThe last time I discussed MediaGoblin, the decentralized media-sharer, the software was minimally functional. Eighteen months later, the project is approaching general release, and a third of the way through a second round of crowdfunding intended to help it add privacy and anti-surveillance features.What hasn't changed in those eighteen months is MediaGoblin's joint emphasis on coding and philosophy. Led by Deb Nicholson and Chris Webber, two veteran free software advocates, MediaGoblin is not simply planning a one-stop site for sharing different media formats, but also promoting de-centralization of the Internet through what it calls federation -- a collection of coordinated but...
Off the Beat: Bruce Byfield's Blog
Feb 27, 2014 GMTEvery year or two, someone has what they imagine is an original idea: why not encourage proprietary productivity software for Linux? Often, what they are hoping for is a port of MS Word, or, as in the case of the recent online petition, versions of PhotoShop and other Adobe products. But, aside from a few high-end exceptions, such Linux ports have not happened in the past, when the need was greater, and are no more likely to happen in the future.For one thing, the few experiments that have been done are not encouraging. At the height of the Dot-Com era, dozens of startups tried selling proprietary applications for Linux -- and not one survived more than a couple of years. Even Adobe,...
Feb 22, 2014 GMTAgreed -- the announcement that Canonical has two partners for the production of its Ubuntu-based phones is important news. However, the news needs to be seen in perspective. Instead of being an accomplishment in itself, the partnerships are only the successful overcoming of the first of many obstacles.This is a perspective that is rarely offered in coverage of the news. Too often, the free software media gives Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical's founder, uncritical coverage, accepting what he says without question or requests for detail. Evidently, too, Canonical includes some shrewd publicists, given that the news was discussed at face value in places like USA Today.What has happened is...
Feb 13, 2014 GMTSpending the last nine months writing a book about LibreOffice, I've rediscovered typography. I've also discovered that as the free font movement enters its second decade, it has evolved from an idea as tentative as free software was in its beginning to a thriving community that gives users a reasonable selection of fonts.However, as much of a gift as Google Fonts or the Open Font Library can be to graphic designers, they can also be nightmares for average users. When you have hundred of fonts to choose from, how do you choose which ones are right for you?You may not have any problems with the pragmatic choices.

Feb 06, 2014 GMTEvery year, I like to take some time to look at LinuxQuestions' Member Choice Awards for trends. I don't believe the results are representative of all free software users by any means, but they are still one of the few indicators available, and this year they suggest some interesting trends on the desktop:Some random examples: In 2012, MariaDB won less than 9% of the votes, while MySQL was way out ahead with 40%. This year, MariaDB jumped to 36%, while MySQL declined to 23% - a vote of non-confidence if there ever was one. Meanwhile, PostgreSQL remained steady or possibly declined slightly, with 24% in 2012, and 20% in 2013. The office suite category saw LibreOffice with 86%...
Jan 29, 2014 GMTOrdinarily, I avoid anything to do with Roy Schestowitz and TechRights. The interaction is rarely worth the seemingly compulsive abuse I inevitably receive. However, Schestowitz's recent claim that Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) includes a back door for the NSA is an exception -- especially since the story has been picked up by FOSS Force (http://fossforce.com/), where, despite the site's skepticial coverage of the claim, its latest poll shows that 34% believe the story, and 27% don't know what to think.Schestowitz writes that RHEL cannot be trusted because "RHEL is binary and based on news from half a decade ago, the NSA is said to be involved in the building process."

Jan 27, 2014 GMTStrictly speaking, the recently published annual report for the Canonical Group, the developers of Ubuntu, covers only its United Kingdom subsidiary for the year ending March 31, 2013. However, in practice, the report provides glimpses into both Canonical's global activities and the challenges that the company faces before it can become profitable.The report lists three sources of income for The Canonical Group: engineering services to OEMs, consulting and cloud services to corporate customers, and online services to end-users.If you read just the report, you might conclude that all three have equal weight in Canonical's financial plans. However, after watching Canonical's increasing...

This retrospective is devoted to Japanese artist Jiro Takamatsu (1938-1998) is not only structured around Takamatsu's paintings, prints, and three-dimensional works but also provides a reexamination of his drawings, book and magazine designs, illustrations, and documentary photographs. The exhibition also places special emphasis on the way in which the drawings Takamatsu made on a daily basis exerted a subtle and comprehensive effect on his practice; how the artist viewed his book designs and illustrations as opportunities to present a special type of work; and attempts to understand the actual conditions surrounding Takamatsu's creative process based on works that are only extant in documentary form.
The exhibition includes approximately 90 paintings, three-dimensional objects, and prints, 280 drawings, 40 books, magazines, and illustrations, and 40 documentary photographs. Using a timeline, the event focuses on almost annual shifts in Takamatsu's practice to shed light on the process of change and expansion in his art, which would be difficult to understand based solely on his widely known completed works. Beginning in the mid-'60s, Takamatsu won a succession of awards in domestic exhibitions and represented Japan in foreign events such as the Venice Biennale (1968) and Documenta (1977).

House Speaker John Boehner: Would resigning be a smart move?(Read article summary)
A Huffington Post report suggests that House Speaker John Boehner will resign his post in 2014. He's given no indication of that publicly, but some say it could help him leave a legacy.
Carolyn Kaster/AP
Will House Speaker John Boehner (R) of Ohio resign his leadership post in 2014?
That's what The Huffington Post is reporting this week. After speaking to four top former Boehner aides, two current aides, five former leadership aides close to Boehner's inner circle, and a GOP operative, The Huffington Post said Boehner will step down after the midterm election, frustrated by his hard-to-steer caucus.
Mr. Boehner himself has suggested the opposite, saying earlier this summer that heŌĆÖll be sticking around. But one former senior aide to Boehner told The Huffington Post: "I'd be surprised if he did" stay.
Assuming the report rings true, what would Boehner's political epitaph be? Is he a casualty of his partyŌĆÖs divide between tea party conservatives and more moderate members? Or has he, in his inability to build agreement around a slew of issues from Syria to immigration reform, furthered the ongoing intra-GOP feuding?
ŌĆ£John Boehner may or may not retire at the end of this term,ŌĆØ writes Ezra Klein of The Washington Post. ŌĆ£But Boehner does not want to go down as the guy who managed the two least-productive, least-popular congresses of all time, and whose greatest accomplishments were convincing his members not to shut down the government or breach the debt ceiling.┬ĀAccording to the Huffington Post, before he retires, he wants at least one legacy-building accomplishment. HeŌĆÖll even stay in Congress to get it.ŌĆØ
Some suggest Boehner has more to gain personally, in terms of his legacy, if he has decided to vacate the post ŌĆō even if he doesnŌĆÖt say as much publicly. That frees him from being beholden to the more strident wing of the GOP.
New York MagazineŌĆÖs Jonathan Chait writes that ŌĆ£a small minority of the most extreme Republicans have managed to keep Boehner on a leash by threatening to depose him as Speaker if he displeases them.ŌĆØ
A decision to say farewell to his position would allow him to lift the debt ceiling and keep government afloat, Mr. Chait says. Or he could work toward a budget deal. The moves require aligning centrist Republicans with the bulk of Democrats, however.
ŌĆ£Boehner could use that majority and then ride off into the sunset to become a lobbyist, enjoy a huge raise, and play a lot more golf,ŌĆØ Chait writes.
Boehner survived an effort to oust him in January. Twelve Republican lawmakers defected from the speakerŌĆÖs camp, and with the GOPŌĆÖs narrow majority, that provided for ŌĆ£a very tense final few minutes of the vote,ŌĆØ according to The Washington Post. He surpassed the 214 votes required for victory by six members.
With BoehnerŌĆÖs announcement this week that heŌĆÖll vote to give President Obama authority to take military action in Syria, heŌĆÖs angering conservative factions anew. And others have said the immigration reform debate placed his speakership in peril, with many Republicans worried that he would force them to vote on a reform bill they don't want as part of an effort to woo Hispanics to the GOP.
┬ĀMost agree that heŌĆÖs vulnerable to another challenge if the GOP keeps its majority in 2014.
So who might want his gig ruling over such an unwieldy crew?
House majority leader Eric Cantor (R) of Virginia is certainly a ŌĆō maybe the ŌĆō leading contender. During that January vote, three conservatives backed him over Boehner. But most believe he would not challenge Boehner, should the speaker decide to stay on. Another possible contender is Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R) of Texas, chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, according to The Huffington Post.
In the meantime, the ŌĆśWill he or wonŌĆÖt he?ŌĆÖ speculation will likely continue. And the conservative base is growing ever more dissatisfied with the current gavel holder. The 2012 cries in the blogosphere to fire him could be heard again this fall.
And even if he wants to hold on to the job, The Huffington Post suggests: ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs not at all clear he could win.ŌĆØ

The Patriots cuts begin a day early: DL Damione Lewis among those sent packing (Updated!) - 0 Comments
Cut-down day is officially tomorrow, and teams must all get down to a 53-man roster by 4 p.m. But the Patriots have started early.
The team has cut veteran DL Damione Lewis, I've confirmed. This was first reported by a bunch of national guys at exactly the same time.
Lewis signed as a bit of a project, a 4-3 lineman hoping to make the transition. And he never quite felt comfortable. I asked him after the last game how he did, and his response was, "I feel a lot better than I felt the first preseason game."

Raycom Media will deliver hyperlocal news coverage via neighborhood-oriented Web sites.
The broadcast group, which owns or operates 46 TV stations in 36 markets across 18 states, plans to launch hundreds of the Web sites in 35 cities across the United States. The first is expected to be operational before the end of April.
DataSphere Technologies in Bellevue, WA, will provide its LocalNet service, technology and ad sales force to support Raycom Media's hyperlocal Web strategy.
The agreement between the companies was announced March 3. It is the latest hyperlocal news agreement for DataSphere Technologies. To date, five media companies have deployed DataSphere Technologies' LocalNet service to launch and support more than 160 neighborhood sites. They include Fisher Communications, which initially launched 43 hyperlocal Web sites and later expanded to more than 100 sites, and Cowles California Communications, which has rolled out 40 hyperlocal sites. Last month, Fisher announced a $1.5 million strategic investment in the company.
Raycom Media will launch its hyperlocal Web sites in cities served by its TV stations and will provide local communities with news, events, entertainment and personalities relevant to their daily lives. The neighborhood-oriented sites also will allow local businesses to target their potential customer base.
According to Raycom Media president and CEO Paul McTear, the LocalNet service will let the media company further fulfill its vision of serving local communities by "seeking out divergent points of view and creating an atmosphere of community dialog."

Financial Services Interview
I applied online. The process took 1 day – interviewed at North Star Resource Group (Chicago, IL) in April 2011.
I was asked to first take a short online assessment, only half-hour long. They ask 72 questions, and duplicate each one. The first time they ask you to answer as you believe would make the most favorable impression. The second time--same question--they'll ask you to answer as truthfully as possible.
Then when I came in, the interview was ridiculously easy, to the point of making me suspicious (sure enough, as you'll see...). Basically, she asked me if I had any questions. Then we went over my resume, where she asked me to talk about each one of my previous job experiences. And then, once more, she asked if I had any questions. That was it.
Interview Questions
- Tell me about your previous work experience. (honestly, this is all she asked, besides asking if I had any questions, that's why it was ridiculously easy) Answer Question
Reasons for Declining
I'd done my research beforehand, and found out you have to pay a lot of your own money to become licensed to sell financial services. Income's almost entirely commission. For every 20 client-meets during training, you only get $250. Overall, it's just not worth it, not at all. I've heard of people actually LOSING money at this job.

We are still deciding whether I will be able to go back to work part time or not which would help incredibly since daycare is so expensive. Also, we had to switch from a childcare center to a home daycare provider because its less expensive and we wont be able to afford having 2 at a center.

My friend & I swap babysitting when we need it for errands, Dr appointments, etc.
We did the math after DS1 & decided it wasn't worth it for me to work when the kids are home full time. Once we added up the cost of a nanny, my school loans, gasoline, extra food expenses, taxes, etc., it just didn't make sense. Like mtaylor, we just sat down with the budget & cut out everywhere we could.
I enjoy working and look forward to going back part-time, but it won't be 'till DS2 is 2 & begins nursery school. It'll probably be 4-5 years before I go back full time.

Home > Fruit Trees > Avocado Trees >
Cold Hardy Delicious Avocados Without the Wait
Grows in all 50 States
Able to withstand frigid temperatures as low as 18 degrees, from Green Bay to Tampa Bay, the Cold Hardy Avocado lives up to its name. This tree produces an abundant yield of fruit for more than half the year. In colder climates, just bring it inside during winter months and watch your tree continue to grow.
Plenty of Avocados to Share
Friends and family will appreciate your generosity when you share the plentiful harvest that your Cold Hardy Avocado Tree will deliver time and time again. Enjoy baskets full of beautiful avocados that grow with ease from this consistent producer. Not only are the fruit themselves bigger (up to 25% larger than other varieties), but there will be a lot more of them to go around. Aside from the sheer quantity, you'll notice the dark color, a characteristic of the fruit's health benefits which are said to far exceed that of its green cousin's.
Self Pollinating
Your Cold Hardy Avocado can produce fruit all by it's self. But each tree will produce even more if you add a second, for cross-pollination.
Superior Flavor From a Super-Food. Your Very Own Avocados Right off the Tree
You can't compare the texture or taste of a store bought green avocado to a tree ripened black avocado you'll pick from your very own tree. Whether you're making homemade guacamole or sliced avocado with lime, the bold flavor you'll enjoy from your black avocados will amaze you and encourage you to explore all the possibilities this diverse fruit has to offer. And superior taste isn't the only benefit you'll reap from your Cold Hardy Avocados. They're also good for you. That's because they're loaded with vitamins such as A, B-6, C, E, and have 60% more potassium than bananas. What's more, avocados are reported to help fight cholesterol problems because they're the only fruit with monounsaturated fat, a key ingredient necessary in maintaining proper HDL and LDL cholesterol levels. So much for an apple a day!
A Versatile Tree
Your Cold Hardy Avocado Tree can grow in a variety of ways to suit your needs and liking. For a larger tree, plant outdoors and watch it soar to heights of 20 feet or more. Or, for a shorter tree, plant in a container and you can limit growth from 5-7 feet tall. Many growers find this method optimal for moving the tree between indoors and out. Not grown for its aesthetic appeal, a single Cold Hardy Avocado tree may have more than one trunk, a trait that is helpful in carrying out the trees main purpose: producing more delicious avocados for many years to come.
Produces Fruit up to 7 Years Sooner than Seed Grown Avocado Trees...
Unfortunately many nurseries still sell seed grown trees because they are cheaper and easier to propagate. We don't grow from seed... all of our Avocado Trees are grafted from carefully selected stock. This non-GMO process is thousands of years old and is commonly used by organic orchards. Basically, we combine the root stock from a cold hardy, disease resistant variety with a mature tree, proven to make great tasting fruit. Your tree thinks it's mature and should be growing fruit... without waiting the 7 year aging cycle that seed trees go through.
Grafting insures that you get a No-Fuss tree... More Avocados earlier... And Better Tasting Fruit. Our larger sizes commonly bear fruit their very first year. Your tree is also more forgiving and easier to grow indoors or out.
Demand from new orchards and home growers has put this tree in short supply. So we recommend that you order yours today while larger sizes are still available..

|It's Easy to Plant your Cold Hardy Avocado
Specific Directions for Cold Hardy Avocado
Place your Cold Hardy Avocado Tree in an area that receives full to partial sunlight. If your tree is potted or kept indoors place it by a window that gets at least six hours of sunlight a day. Cold Hardy Avocado Trees will adapt to many different soil types, even if it's sandy or heavy in clay as long as it's well draining.
Don't over water your Cold Hardy Avocado Tree. Avocado Trees like it when their roots are dry. In between waterings take a handful of soil, if the soil is moist don't give your tree any water. If the soil is dry and crumbly, give your tree a deep watering. Mist the leaves with a spray bottle to create a humid environment for your tree.
After a year of growth fertilize your Cold Hardy Avocado Tree four times a year with a well balanced citrus fertilizer. Leaves often drop between blooming cycles. Your Avocados won't be ready to be picked until their skin fully turns a dark purple-black color. Once you harvest your Avocados they will take between five to seven days to ripen. When they're soft to the touch they're ready to be eaten.
|Step 1 - Dig Your Hole
Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Cold Hardy Avocado.
|Step 2 - Place Your Plant
Next, separate the roots of your Cold Hardy Avocado gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole.
|Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole
As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets.

After seeing two of her Colorado colleagues recalled over anti-gun votes, Democratic State Senator Evie Hudak, will submit her resignation.
Hudak will hold a news conference Wednesday morning at the Arvada Library.
"By resigning I am protecting these important new laws for the good of Colorado and ensuring that we can continue looking forward," Hudak wrote in her resignation letter in regard to her gun votes, which led to the recall effort.
Proponents of the recall have until early next week to submit about 18,900 valid signatures to the secretary of state's office. If enough signatures are valid, Hudak would be the third Colorado lawmaker to face a recall election this year because of her support for tougher gun laws.
Earlier this year, Colorado State Senator Angela Giron and Senate President John Morse, both from blue districts, were recalled and replaced with Republicans. Hudak was likely pressured into her resignation. If she had lost her recall election (which was likely), Democrats in Colorado would lose a majority in the legislature. Now, Democrats will be able to appoint Hudak's replacement, further ignoring constituents while allowing Democrats to avoid the consequences for anti-gun votes.
As a reminder, Hudak is the woman who told rape survivor Amanda Collins back in March during a hearing about concealed carry on campus that a gun wouldn't have helped her when she was attacked and lectured her by saying, "statistics are not on your side." Collins was raped at gun point in a gun free zone in 2007 while walking to her car at the University of Nevada-Reno. Due the University's no weapons policy, Collins was in possession of her concealed carry permit at the time of the attack, but not her firearm. Her assailant went on to rape two more women and killed one of them, Brianna Denison, who was just 20-years-old.
You can learn more about Amanda's story here.
UPDATE: Compass Colorado, the group helping to lead recall efforts, has released a statement.
"This is yet another indicator that the tides are changing in Colorado politics," Executive Director of Compass Colorado Kelly Maher said in a statement. "Coloradans are sick of the extreme Democrats trying to control their lives. These "progressives" have overreached so far on so many issues that Colorado families are now ready for a new vision."

Senior Fellow
Update, October 16: The Social Security Administration announced this morning that the December 2012 cost-of-living adjustment (which recipients of Social Security and certain other programs will see in their January checks) will be 1.7 percent -- as we estimated in this post below. The maximum wage and salary level on which Social Security payroll taxes are levied will rise to $113,700.
Tomorrow the Bureau of Labor Statistics will release inflation figures for last month, which will give the Social Security Administration (SSA) the final piece of data it needs to announce the cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) for 2013 for millions of Social Security beneficiaries. Other programs -- including Supplemental Security Income (SSI), veterans' pensions and compensation benefits, and federal civil-service and military retirement -- will pay the same COLA.
Social Security beneficiaries got a 3.6 percent COLA in their January 2012 checks, the first in three years (after a period of low or negative inflation). If the market experts that Yahoo! polled are correct, we reckon that the next COLA will be about 1.7 percent. (See table.)
|Effective date
|COLA (percent)
|December 2005
|December 2006
|December 2007
|December 2008
|December 2009
|December 2010
|December 2011
|December 2012 (estimate)
|1.5 - 1.8
|Note: The COLAs take effect in December of the year shown and appear in beneficiaries' checks in January.
Source: Social Security Administration, Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
Higher Medicare premiums will offset part of that increase. Most Social Security recipients 65 or older -- and many disabled beneficiaries under age 65 -- enroll in Medicare's Supplementary Medical Insurance (better known as "Part B") and have premiums taken from their monthly checks. If Part B premiums rise by $9 per month next year, as the program's trustees estimated this spring, the average retiree -- who gets about $1,200 a month from Social Security-- would come out ahead by $12 a month.
Most Social Security beneficiaries are protected against any drop in their monthly check when Medicare premiums rise, and for many of them, Medicaid pays the entire premium on their behalf.
This will be the 38th year that SSA has figured the COLAs based on an automatic process that policymakers enacted in 1972. Other key provisions of Social Security -- including the maximum wage and salary level on which Social Security payroll taxes are levied (currently $110,100) -- will also change automatically as the agency finishes tallying the data.

Photographer Jovana Rikalo
My name is Jovana Rikalo and I'm a fine art/portrait/wedding/ photographer from Zrenjanin, Serbia. I started taking random pictures of myself,nature and my friends to capture memories, mostly just for fun. I didn't start taking it seriously until the autumn of 2012 when I bought new digital camera and realized how passionate I was about photography. That's when I really started growing. Photography become my greatest love. Taking a photo everyday really pushed me to get more innovative and to learn the tricks behind the editing process. I love taking photos of everything but mostly of people. I'm a little bored of shooting in studios. I prefer the outdoors and eye-catching locations.

The company didn't release the sales figures that underlie its claims, and it's probably worth paying attention to that "on Christmas Day" qualifier. Shoppers on that day have a lot more incentive to choose a digital book over a physical one, whether because they need an instant present or because they received a gift card or a new Kindle they want to use immediately.
If the release is accurate, there must have been a lot of the latter: Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said, "We are grateful to our customers for making Kindle the most gifted item ever in our history."
Other technology-related items from the announcement include:
- Customers bought so many computers that, if they were stacked on top of each other, they'd be twice as high as Mt. Everest.
- Similarly, the Blu-Ray disc players, lined up side by side, would stretch more than 27 miles.
- Amazon sold enough shoot-and-share camcorders to supply YouTube with 50 years of nonstop content, and enough 8GB iPod Touches to play 442 years of continuous music.
- The bestselling electronics items were the Kindle, the 8GB iPod Touch, the Garmin nuvi 260W GPS device, the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic unlocked phone, the Plantronics 510 Bluetooth headset, and the BlackBerry Bold 9700.
- The most popular software was Microsoft Office 2007 Home and Student, Office for Mac 2008 Home and Student, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.

I attempted to modify the Masthead section by duplicating it to my Sections folder that I made in my Child - Skeleton theme.
After making changes to the LESS in the Masthead folder in my Child Theme / Sections folder, the changes were not seen upon save and refresh.
Could this be due to the strange (to me) folder structure that I see in wp-content/themes/DMS? There are two dms folders and two Sections folders as automatically installed in wp-content/themes. See screenshot here: http://screencast.com/t/Q4s3ZW4g
Is this install how the folder structure should actually be?
If the above is indeed correct, can you please tell me how I can get my sections in my child theme to be "seen" and to take precedence over the DMS theme sections?

Queen of the Damned (2002)
Horror is one genre not known for its racial diversity (unless you count the Black guy who usually gets killed in the first reel), but — just in time for Halloween — we dug up a list of thrillers with a bit more color than average.
Aaliyah's performance as Akasha, the remorseless queen of all vampires who snacked on human hearts in the film adaptation of the popular novel, was praised by author Anne Rice. Sadly, the talented singer and actress died six months before the film's release and wasn't able to see its success, though the filmmakers did dedicate it to her memory.

Men and women in uniform take the call of public service to the extreme, setting aside their own comfort and safety to protect the rights, property and lives of others. In return, they deserve only the highest performance, most comfortable and best value footwear, made by a company that takes its duty as solemnly as soldiers and cops take theirs.

As of Friday, September 7, 2012

JONESBORO — Residents will get to voice their opinion Monday on whether the Jonesboro City Council should approve a request to annex a towing business when city leaders gather for their monthly business meeting.
The council will meet at 7 p.m., at the Jonesboro Police Headquarters, 170 South Main St., in Jonesboro.
Council members are weighing a request from the owners of Tara Wreckers to annex 5 acres of their property, which lines on the southeast edge of the city. The town limits currently go through part of the property, and Jonesboro Mayor Joy Day said the business' owners want to shore up the limits so all of their property is within the city.
The annexation request is not the only thing the council will deal with, however. Council members will consider replacing the police department's Tasers and one police patrol car. They will also consider an amendment to city law concerning conditional zoning permits.
The Augustin Clayton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution will also receive a proclamation from the city for the upcoming "Constitution Week."
Residents will also get to address the council during a public comment section at the beginning of the meeting.

February 4, 2014: Terrorist Groups in Latin America: The Changing LandscapeBy Michael ShifterSource: Statement before the House Committee on Foreign Affairs Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and TradeLatin America has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent decades. Most of the changes have been positive. The region has grown economically, poverty and inequality rates have fallen, and in most countries democratic governance and pragmatic politics have made notable strides. On the negative side of the ledger is spreading criminality in many countries, often fueled by a widespread drug trade and other illicit activities. The result has been institutional fragility and persistent corruption.

Young Guys Act Out Their Mom's Conversations [Video]
A guy records a random conversation between his mom and aunt. Then he and a buddy lip sync and act it out. Very funny, but it makes me want to find his mom and find out what she thinks of his impersonation.
In this episode the Kloons talk about backyard furniture and whether Vince Vaughn is funny, among other things.
