Strong employment data from the US
The US: Non-farm-payroll offered a positive surprise. The figure came out at 195K against the estimate of 165K. Also, the past two months were revised up by 70K.
Employment has now increased by a monthly average of 202K over the past 6 months. On the whole, this development signals that the US again has a strong labour market, and that the Fed therefore should begin to scale down its monthly QE.
The market is still divided in its assessment of which quarter will see the beginning of the scaling down - will it be Q3 or Q4?
On Wednesday we get the minutes from the most recent Fed meeting, and hopefully we get some indications of the Fed's assessment of the employment situation. This will be of importance as to whether Q3 or Q4 will be chosen and hence whether EURUSD will fall now or whether this will happen in about a month.
Equities: Shanghai and Nikkei fell by 2% and 1%, respectively. This may add to risk aversion in Europe and therefore push EURUSD lower. It should be noted that Nikkei began to increase decently and subsequently it fell by more than 1%.
EM: Due to the steeply rising US interest rate, there is a risk that the EM currencies will fall further. There is a risk that investors will send the flow normally intended for the EM universe to the US. Also, the falling carry is bad news for EM, which means that at present we should be very cautious about investing in EM.
Today's chart
The chart illustrates the downtrend of US rates since the 1980s. If the interest rates break out above 2.90-3.0%, we expect that financial market to become concerned about negative consequences and we will be in for steeply rising volatility.
Market sentiment
If US interest rates continue to rise, it is to be expected that the recent fall in volatility is about to be over. This would in particular put pressure on EM, commodity currencies, EUR and the equity market.
There are still more factors that may cause rising volatility:
rising US interest rates; growing political unrest in Greece, Italy and Portugal; liquidity crisis in China; falling economic indicators in the US, EU or China; or not least a strong correction of US equities.
In general, we recommend that, for the long-term, investors buy USD, JPY and NOKSEK. We also recommend close S/L for all short-term investments.
EURPLN (from Sell to NEUTRAL): We were stopped out at S/P with a gain of 0.80%.
We expect that EURPLN will trade in the wide range of 440 to 420 over the coming period. Therefore we are looking for a new recommendation if EURPLN rises above 433.
NOKSEK (BUY): We recommend that investors BUY NOKSEK with S/L at 107.91.
We assess that at the current level NOKSEK is a most attractive buy for both short-term and long-term investors. We expect NOKSEK to be quite a few points higher before the end of the year.
EURUSD (NEUTRAL): Place entry orders at 127.28.
We expect that USD will show relatively strong performance relative to EUR over the rest of 2013.
The reasons for this view are in particular the rising US interest rates as well as the relatively stronger economic development.
For the short term, we have expected in the past few days that USD will face a correction - but it does not seem as if the correction will materialise. We therefore recommend that investors in EURUSD place a sell order at 127.28 to catch a possible breakout below the IMPORTANT support level at 127.35-128.
The chart shows that technically, EURUSD is very oversold. If we look back over the past year, we have twice before been at such oversold levels with two very different outcomes. The vertical lines illustrate the starting points of these two situations. In November, EURUSD turned around and rose by several percentages, and in February, EURUSD fell by more than 2%. As EURUSD is on the red neckline, we have to pay very close attention to the development because if EURUSD breaks out below 127.35-50, there is a risk of extensive S/L hunting, which may send down EURUSD by several percentages. Therefore we recommend that investors place a stop entry at 127.28.
If EURTRY breaks out below 250, it is very likely that it will quickly fall to the 242-45 range.
A short-term top in EURCHF is about to be formed, which causes us to keep an eye out for a good level to sell at. If EURCHF rises to 124.4-80, investors should sell the cross rate with a target of 122.50.

I looked at him and said "thank you" again, and he nodded with a look of gratitude. It's funny because he had a look of thanks, yet I was trying to show my gratitude to him.
He stood behind me in line at the bank and I chatted casually with the teller while doing normal Friday payday business. In a moment, the veteran was there again, a few feet away from me at the next teller station.
"Lost a bunch of 'em in the war," he said, the last few words trailing off as he spoke.
"She had it all right, too, except too little words in the fine print 'non-negotiable'. Everything else was right, it even had Alexander Hamilton's signature on it. Pretty incredible. But, when she pulled it out and asked for cash back, that's when they got her."
He told me about travelling all over the country to get the rights to use photos of actual U.S. bills, for photos can be considered counterfeit copies. He said he visited Boy Scout headquarters to obtain permission to use Scout information, and told me that President Gerald Ford was the only Eagle Scout among all the Presidents, "but at least we have one." He spent countless hours obtaining the rights to print the information on the poster, all so he could help the children learn about their country.
We stood together and laughed out loud.
"My daughter's fifth grade class has been practicing, they are putting on a Veteran's program, can I call you to come and attend?" I asked, picturing Lyle Green in my mind, standing in the room with the other veterans, as the children of Riverdale Elementary belt out the songs of each of the branches of the United State Armed Forces.
"If you call, I will come," he said, as his head nodded in agreement.
And in that moment, I knew it was true. I will call my new friend and hero, and perhaps then I will get the chance to say, "Thank you" to Lyle Green, not just for a poster, but for changing my life and reminding me "that I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free, and I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me!"
Happy Veteran's Day to all the men and women who have proudly served our country.

He built the original baseball field for the Cubs' predecessor, the Chicago White Stockings, and built the Palmer House Hotel. Palmer Park was created in 1904 by the South Park Commission. Under the guidance of superintendent J. Frank Foster, the commission opened ten new neighborhood parks, including Palmer Park, in an effort to create breathing space and recreational areas in the city's crowded tenement districts. These parks were built by Olmsted Brothers landscape architects and D.H. Burnham and Co. architects.
An easy 30-minute drive from downtown Chicago places you squarely in this sprawling forest preserve. With 78 miles of wide and singletrack trails at an intermediate level of difficulty, you should expect the unexpected, starting with plenty of hills, fast descents, meandering paths and more.

Eating primal is not a diet, it is a way of life.

65lbs gone and counting!!
Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
Count me as one who does not label myself. I just think its important to eat real food and I do just that almost all of the time. That doesn't mean that I don't have some pizza on occasion. I do and I'm fine with it. I also love good beer. I enjoy it and will continue to. The bottom line though is that the vast majority of what I eat is real food. I think if you use that as your template, you really can't go wrong.
65lbs gone and counting!!
Fat 2 Fit - One Woman's Journey
Agreed. I think we have a brain so we can plot our own course, take what's good and works for us, but feel free to modify things as things change for the better or worse. I tried eating vegetarian several times for a few weeks at a time over the last 40 years but the only benefit I got from it was very regular and easy bowel movements. My weight didn't budge and my blood pressure didn't either. Other people got much better results, but I never did.
I just stopped eating anything that is primarily grain or legume 9 days ago and I feel really good. The wired feeling is gone. The few days of scary energy (waking up at 5AM and going for a walk) are gone and I am back to normal, but feeling good.
I still eat incidental grains (the breadcrumbs on my wife's breaded chicken breast and the crust on her quiche, the coating on a potato knish) but I haven't eaten anything made primarily of grains or legumes (rice, corn, cookies, cake, hummus, bread, oatmeal, etc.). I feel good and don't crave those foods either. For my sweet tooth I eat pecans with wild honey, or strawberries with honey, or cherries or grapes. One exception is I still have my Jack Daniels sour mash whiskey, but I'm having less of it without trying to cut down.
I've been charting my BP a few times a day for the last 5 months since I started on Micardis HCT. In the past 9 days my BP has been averaging about 140/78. This is up about 6 points from where it was the week before I stopped the grains and legumes. But I also stopped taking the Micardis HCT 9 days ago when I stopped the grains and legumes. I know you aren't supposed to just quit BP meds but I did anyway and monitored it closely. At 66 I'll take 140/78 and no meds to 134/78 with meds. Maybe with another 10 pounds off and continued exercise I may go below what the meds brought me to.
My weight is down 3-1/2 lbs in 9 days. I'm 6'1 and weigh 208. I'm not trying to exercise, but am doing useful jobs around the house and garden. I do have more energy and desire to do stuff. I am interested to see how this plays out in the next few weeks and months. I'm glad I found this site to reinforce these ideas.

considering the amount of produce we buy, one person asked if we were raw vegans and really into juicing. No, we're just really into produce.
Most of my food volume is veg. I also eat meat (about once a day) and eggs (once a day). But, it's usually 2-3 eggs and 4-6 oz meat. It's not like you have to "eat a lot of meat" to be primal. I just eat what I need calorically, and that's that.
I choose not to eat grains. I had amazing results in two weeks after eating *zero* grains. The little pad of fat on my lower abs (that i'd had basically since puberty) was gone! I dropped from about 20-22% body fat to 18-20% body fat. And, I was less "puffy" -- no gas, bloating, or edema issues.
Sure, on occasion I have cake, cookies, bread, or rice. rice seems to be ok no matter what (no big impact), but the rest of it is definitely bloat-inducing. I eat it anyway when I want, but still.
So, it was enough for me to go "right, this is the right way for me to go!" And, there's nothing wrong with having a label either. It says "this si how I eat" and that is all. It's not a big deal. It's not like you have to take it personally or let it "define" you.
It is what it is. Whether or not *you* do it doesn't matter to me. It's whether or not *i* do it, and how I understand the doing it to be.

In our democratic republic, we elect representatives to enact laws and administer governmental functions. There are checks and balances built into the system so no legislator or administrator becomes all-powerful.
Additionally, all 50 states, the District of Columbia and the federal government have open-meeting laws, also called "Sunshine Laws." According to the website of the Reporters Committee For Freedom of the Press, "These laws do not necessarily ensure that members of the public will be allowed to address the agency, but they do guarantee that the public and the media can attend the meetings."
Simply put, Sunshine Laws are designed to let the public know not only what, but why representatives make the decisions they make.
There are exceptions allowing executive sessions - most notably to discuss personnel issues and to consult with legal counsel on lawsuits. But these should be rare. And the law says those instances "may" be discussed in executive session, not "must" be.
In Hawaii, the agency charged with determining if agencies are in compliance with the Sunshine Law is the Office of Information Practices. Now, in order to determine compliance, OIP often will request minutes of meetings if a question or complaint is filed. Hawaii's Sunshine Law requires that complete minutes be kept of both open and executive sessions.
Last August, The Maui News asked OIP to investigate the County Council's actions when, after an executive session, members voted to ask the county auditor to intervene in the investigation of the old Wailuku Post Office demolition and to exempt the county corporation counsel from the investigation. The vote meant that the committee opposed paying for independent counsel.
When OIP asked for minutes of the executive session, the office was given a heavily redacted version. OIP assured the county that the minutes would be reviewed privately. OIP gave the county until Dec. 11 to comply with its request.
Instead, the county filed suit, saying it would be "irreparably harmed" if OIP ruled it in violation of the Sunshine Law or, apparently, if OIP were allowed to read the unredacted minutes.
It is our feeling that if the county prevails in this suit, the state's Sunshine Law will be gutted. If councils, committees, the Legislature, etc., can go into executive session without any possible review by OIP, then the law becomes moot.
What a shameful legacy that would be.

Constitutional Change in the United States

July 18, 2011
HOW CONSTITUTIONS CHANGE, Dawn Oliver and Carlo Fusaro, eds., Hart Publishing, 2011
Tulane Public Law Research Paper No. 11-03
This essay, originally written for non-US lawyers, is the slightly revised version of a chapter on the United States for a volume on constitutional change in different countries that will be put out by Hart Publishing. Because it first introduces the basics of the U.S. constitutional system and the problem of constitutional change, it may be especially useful for students. The essay then builds an argument for paying attention to both constitutional change through judicial doctrine and outside the judiciary. It illustrates change outside the judiciary by focusing in the final section on presidential power in foreign affairs,using examples drawn from the Bush II administration.

Dallas man gets 42 months in prison for selling thousands of bootleg DVDs
A Dallas man has been sentenced to 42 months in federal prison for selling bootlegged DVDs, including Precious, Twilight: New Moon, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs and, ironically, Law Abiding Citizen.
Victor Karl Shelby, 46, pleaded guilty in July to one count of willful infringement of a copyright and surrendered about 2,400 DVDs, which he had been selling for $3 each at his In Tha Game Records store on East Illinois Avenue. He was sentenced Wednesday and must report to prison March 12.
Shelby's library of bootlegged DVDs included more than 400 copyrighted titles. He or someone under his direction had been using digital reproduction equipment to copy and sell the DVDs in Shelby's store, which operated from September 2008 to November 2009.

Warning: This post may contain spoilers to those who don't watch the Big Brother live feed.
Has all that peroxide messed him up in the head?
Frankie Grande, a colorful and very popular contestant on this season of CBS's Big Brother, finally revealed to his fellow houseguests late Friday that his half sister is pop phenom Ariana Grande, according to the reality competition's live feed.
The former Broadway dancer also admitted that he is a YouTube personality whose page has racked up nearly 10 million views.
Fearing his celebrity status would hurt his chances for the $500,000 grand prize, Grande had been keeping the information to himself. But his shrewd gameplay has already made him a target for eviction. Just last week, head of household Nicole Franzel talked about ousting the 31-year-old from Florida.
Before heading into the Big Brother house, Grande – whom viewers eventually voted to become a member of the secret Team America – discussed his "complicated" strategy with PEOPLE.
"I don't want people knowing that I have a social media following and that Ariana Grande is my sister because I feel like both of those things will put an unnecessary target on my back," he said. "They will assume that if there is an America's vote or America's player that I will win it because I have a viral following. So if I am recognized as soon as I get into the house, I have to win and I have to do damage control."
Though Grande successfully kept his secret, he came clean after learning this week's evicted houseguests would end up on the jury, the panel that eventually crowns the winner.
The move goes along with his plan before entering the game.
"I think the jury needs to know," he told PEOPLE. "I don't think it is something that will win me points with the jury if I blindside them with it at voting night, so I would probably want to slip it in before the jury starts getting evicted."
Meanwhile, it's no secret who his biggest fan is outside of the house. On Thursday, Ariana attended the live show to cheer on her big brother, posting an Instagram photo with host Julie Chen.
It's unclear whether Grande's confession will play out on Sunday's episode of Big Brother, a source tells PEOPLE.
Big Brother airs Sundays and Wednesdays at 8 p.m., and Thursdays at 9 p.m.

993 or 964 ?
by RULA from Hamburg, Germany | May 19, 2013
As I read the sellers comment, they are referring to a Porsche 993, the last produced air cooled engine. This car though, is, as far as I recognize, a 1991 Porsche 911, model 964, which was the Model inbetween the famous "G-Model" and the "993". Is the description correct, then the photos used are wrong, or are the photos correct, having a wrong sellers comments ?

Review: Mariah Carey's 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel'
On "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel," Mariah Carey takes love and examines it through various prisms--obsession, desire, fulfillment, bliss, heartbreak and regret.
Hear it here.
While it's not a concept album, so to speak, love's exaltations and its ruins provide slow jam after slow jam.
Preferring to work with only two producers -- Tricky Stewart and The-Dream-here instead of her usual coterie has provided Carey with a cohesiveness on "Memoirs" that sometimes borders on a musical sameness but otherwise provides a nice sense of continuity in our increasingly singles-driven world. Most songs, other than the remake of Foreigner's "I Want to Know What Love Is" and first single "Obsessed" fall squarely into R&B mid-tempo rhythms.
Opening "Betcha Gon Know (the prologue)" sets up the album's overall feel of duplicity and disillusionment and its insinuating, low-key rhythm delivers a hypnotic groove that eases into the rest of the project.
Even a song with the title "H.A.T.E. U." is hardly the rant the name would lead one to believe it might be. Instead of some vitriolic tirade, it's a bittersweet ballad about how Carey can't wait to get to the point where the pain and love transitions to hate so she can breathe again.
An old school feel seeps through many of the tracks, especially on "It's a Wrap," on which recalls Candi Staton. Carey sounds contemporary, but unlike on "E=MC2," "Memoirs" has no feeling of being forced to sound hip or salacious just for salaciousness's sake like on "E's" "Touch My Body." She's 39-and while she told USA Today that she no longer has birthdays, she has "anniversaries"-she sounds refreshingly like an adult and not someone who wishes she were 22 again. There's a confidence here that, mixed with the vocal vulnerability expressed on some of the tracks, is very appealing.
A few of the songs also feature a fine-tuned sense of humor-which is not a trait most would attribute to Carey. On "Standing O," she sarcastically sings about a former lover being "the man of the hour/I have to send you some flowers" for making her believe he loved her when he did not.
Love for the newlywed-she and Nick Cannon have been married for just over a year now-- does have its high points, such as on "Ribbon," one of the song's unabashedly positive love songs, and on "Inseparable," which boasts Carey's strongest vocal on the album. It is also the one where she most recalls one of her musical heroes, the late Minnie Ripperton. The layered, finger-snapping duet "My Love" is an inside look at a couple's sweet secret passion.
But that feeling is fleeting. On "It's a Wrap," love has already forsaken her.
To Carey's credit, even though she may be blissfully happy now, she sells heartache like it's going out of style on many of these tracks. Plus, she keeps the histrionics at bay. Oh, she can still trot out that five-octave range when she wants to, but she's more selective which makes it all the more effective when she does reach for the rafters.
There is also a bonus disc that includes some remixes and videos, plus a 34-page booklet that features some advertising. As record companies strive to find ways to monetize recordings, we can expect more of the same. Or as Brad Paisley sings, "Welcome to the future."

If a dispassionate stranger from a distant star were to look over the performance of modern man, his foibles, his attributes, the things to which he has erected deities, and the gods he has destroyed or created in his own not always happy image, the striking thing would be the curious conspiracy which suppresses admitting the phenomenon of biologic death. Pearl's book consists of the lectures given before the Lowell Institute in Boston late in 1920. The book was published in 1922. Pearl ranges over the philosophic potentially immortal. They divide and make problem of the death of cells which are potentially immortal. They divide and make two when they have reached a certain stage. Then the two rapidly grow to reach the size of the parent cell. Quite clearly, if the whole world were not to be taken over by single-celled creatures some limiting factor has to operate. Physical

That is a stunning photo John, I have a favorite memory of crossing Hecate Strait with a full moon lighting the way, so powerfully beautiful!
In awe, John! Stunning!
What lens and camera were you using?
John, When I look at this beautiful photo, I can immediately see in my mind how that artist in Tofino, Roy Henry Vickers, would translate this into one of his paintings using shadow images in the moon and the sky. No idea how, even with the specifications you have shared, it's possible to get the moon that sharp as well as everything else so it's better to just let that go and just enjoy the beauty.
Wow, what an evocative image.
We hope to see you and Nicki when we meet Micheila and Bill in Ganges July 17-20th. Hope to have you down to the boat for appies and drinks if you're around…
Can't tell you how much we enjoy beginning each day reveling in your work and talent. Thank you, John.
You did a great job here. this looks great.
Very evocative, John. It definitely has an artistic streak.

Open source hospital management software helps African hospitals provide competitive care
Helping African hospitals with open source software
The daily management and operation of a hospital requires enormous effort. These days, most hospitals utilize Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) software to centralize facility operations including inventory, budgets, invoicing, and employee management. Any hospital administrator will tell you that ERP software is essential to efficiently managing their hospital as the software lowers inventory costs and improves efficiencies and quality.
Unfortunately, most hospitals in Africa do not have the financial means to purchase expensive ERP software systems. Enter Tim Schofield, an open source software developer and project leader on an open source ERP project called "KwaMoja." We had the opportunity to talk with Tim and discuss his efforts to develop and implement KwaMoja in African hospitals. We had a great conversation that also looked at how open source ERPs can create more self-sufficient African businesses that can be more competitive and be less reliant on other nations.
Tim, thanks for taking the time to sit down with us. Tell us about KwaMoja, the open source software project you are working on?
To properly tell you about KwaMoja, I have to go back on some history. KwaMoja is a fork of the webERP project, which is an open source general purpose accounting/order processing, inventory management system. I have worked on that project for many years, and in 2008 I was asked by the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania to go and help them adapt webERP to be used in one of their biggest hospitals. The project involved linking with an open source health information system called care2x. I fell in love with East Africa and its people, and at the end of the Haydom project I stayed on and looked for similar projects to work on.
Fast forward a few years and I was asked to run a course at a college in Kenya. I decided that the basis of that course would be writing some extensions to webERP. This went well and at the end of the course a group of students wanted to carry the work on. At the time, the webERP project was being torn apart by arguments and bad feelings—unfortunately this happens all too often in open source projects—so I suggested that they take the webERP code and do what is called a "fork". In other words take a perfectly legal copy of the work, and branch off in a new direction.
The term KwaMoja comes from Kiswahili, the dominant language in both Kenya and Tanzania. Literally "kwa moja" means "for one" and is intended to refer to the integrated nature of the software, and a sense of unity given the problems with webERP at the time. Thus KwaMoja was born.
What is open source hospital management software?
"Open source" is also known as free software. It is built by a community of developers that anybody can join. "Free" means it is free from any restrictions. It is available for anybody to take, adapt to their needs, and use. All that is demanded from the license is that when people adapt and improve the software, those adaptations are offered back to the community, helping the software get better.
Many of the users that we help are at hospitals where we link KwaMoja with care2x. Our current project is to merge care2x into KwaMoja, to create a completely integrated system that can work in any hospital. This project is currently called Project Mtuha, though the name will probably change at some point.
How can these open source programs benefit Africans?
Firstly hospitals in Africa cannot afford the commercial ICT systems we use in western hospitals. To put some perspective on the financials, Haydom hospital in Tanzania mentioned above is a 400-bed hospital (often with more than one patient per bed) and costs $6 million a year to run. Picking a western hospital at random, the University Hospital of Kansas is a 600-bed hospital and has an annual revenue of $1.1 billion in 2013. Open source enables hospitals in Africa to get state of the art software at a price they can afford.
Unfortunately, hospitals in East Africa suffer from the great disease of corruption. Our system enables management and donors to keep a close control of what is going on in the hospital, even when the donors are on a different continent. We have seen some significant reductions in money leaking from the hospitals, and this in turn means the money can be spent on patient care.
What stage is the project in?
KwaMoja is working and is already used in many organizations. As with all these projects it will never be complete: there will always be new features to be added, and that's most of the fun!
Project Mtuha is still in the early stages. We urgently need more funding to employ some African developers to work on it. At the moment it is moving, but moving slowly.
Where and how have you gained support for these projects?
We have a large following on social media, mainly on Twitter and LinkedIn, but in a smaller way on Google+ and Facebook as well. I write regular articles and blog posts promoting our work. I speak to all the faith organizations who run hospitals in East Africa.
What is the implementation and roll out strategy for these projects?
Commercial ERP vendors in East Africa (e.g., SAP or Microsoft Dynamics) charge $500 or more a day for their consultancy services, on top of software licenses that generally cost more than $1,500 per user, and then this money goes out of the country back to the west.
Africa has a huge amount of talent and my dream is to harness this talent and recruit a network of independent consultants throughout Africa who can sell services around the project, keeping the money in Africa. The software comes to them free. They don't pay licenses to multi-nationals, but instead just charge for their own skills. This will bring the huge benefits of the software to African organizations.
What are the biggest challenges you face?
The three biggest challenges are money, money, and money! We are constantly held back by lack of resources. Project Mtuha would be complete by now if we could employ local developers to build the system.

That is great.Keep up the good work.
Hopefully I can use some of the softwares you mentioned on this page for some of my ideal projects in the future.
I hope so you can help us when we as k for your help.
Hi Yonas, my email and twitter accounts are mentioned in the article, feel free to contact me.
I should also add that all my code is on my github site https://github.com/timschofield and you can find out more about what we do at my blog http://weberpafrica.blogspot.com
I am puzzled by the lack of tangible facts in this post.
Can you describe what makes the case of the ERP in Africa so unique that we need to go for our customized ERP and why we can't use matured systems such as openerp, erpnext, vtiger and the like and contribute to those efforts instead. Those systems many times are country / language / culture neutral and can be customized to fit most needs.
Ofc you are more than welcome to develop your own, but please know that it requires a tremendous amount of experience to get an ERP developed and ready for market, and if there is anything I feel lacks in Africa it is experienced, agile, versatile and dependable developers.
I don't really understand the statement that "Africa has a huge amount of talent" and feels like something good willing NGO workers keep on pushing but echoes empty when you sit and manage an IT company where I day to day face the knowledge limitation. Maybe I have gone all wrong and haven't managed to locate those talents, if that's the case I am open to hear some ideas from you.
Hi, as it says in the article KwaMoja is a fork from webERP which is over a decade old, and which I have contributed to for many years. It isn't a new project. IMHO openerp and erpnext have issues, and vtiger is a CRM not an erp.
You don't say where you are based so I cannot say why you are struggling to find developer talent. Kenya for instance has a huge amount of young developer talent. Just as an example ushahidi (http://ushahidi.com/) is a great open source project that has won multiple international awards.
Let me know if you want more details,
I beg to differ. Kenya has very many developers, I was teaching Java, Delphi and ASP back in 1998, most of these programmer could not get absorbed in the non-existing market then and ended up coming up with own start-ups which provide software developing consultancy. Most of these supporting open source using python, ruby, java, php etc. Get in touch and I will point you in the right direction.

MLive and Muskegon Chronicle readers have been debating whether newspapers should make endorsements at the Chronicle Facebook page and on mlive.com/muskegon.
Muskegon community news direcitor Peg West offered this when Dunewalker questioned the Chronicle's endorsement of Congressman Bill Huizenga:
Dunewalker: Newspapers have offered endorsements for generations. The idea is that our editorial board's opinion can add another voice to the public discourse on issues and candidates. While opinions certainly vary on the practice and a number of people share your view, there also are people who look for newspaper endorsements. Thanks for reading. Peg West/community news director
Of course, in addition to the Chronicle's endorsement editorials, we have run more than 100 endorsement letters from our readers for various candidates and proposals.
Post your comments below.
So do these endorsements help you make up your mind?

Even now, the region around the Tour d'Aï and the Dent de Corjon is a stretch of intact natural countryside. Plants that have even become rare in Switzerland still have their habitats here. The Tour d'Aï (shaped like a tooth) and the grottoes and watercourses around the Tour de Famelon are also among the unique attractions of this region which is a "must" for all nature lovers. The Dent de Corjon is a mountain that offers superb views – ideal for hikers who want to be well away from the crowds. It is very rarely climbed and yet it offers a superb panorama.

According to the website pollspeak.com, the University of Oklahoma football program is the most overrated program in the nation. The findings are based on pre-season rankings and where the team finishes at seasons end.
The Sooners have won an impressive 52 games in the last 5 years, but there is only one season where the team finished ranked higher than its pre-season ranking.
OU's worst drop came in 2009 when the Sooners fell from pre-season No. 3 to No. 26 by the end of the season.
Pollspeak also named USC and Georgia as the No. 2 and No. 3 most overrated football programs. Stanford was named the most underrated program in the nation.

Featured Golf News
Renovation of Birmingham's Vestavia CC Moves Ahead
Vestavia Country Club, a private golf club in Birmingham, Ala., is working on a remodel of its golf course. Golf course architect Lester George designed the master plan for the course in the foothills of the Appalachians that is known for its dramatically undulating greens, wide fairways and vistas.
George is now in the process of preparing the preliminary design of a master plan he completed last year. Once that's complete the club will assess the feasibility of proceeding with construction.
Designed by George Cobb and opened in 1951, the VCC's championship course is a 6,811 yard, par-72 layout. Renovations are planned for the tees, greens, fairways, mowing patterns and bunkers on all 18 holes. "They have allowed us the freedom to conceptualize a golf course that will maximize the physical characteristics of the site and the spectacular views," said George. "The course will also be environmentally sustainable."
Vestavia Country Club established a Long Range Architectural Golf Course Committee in 2006 to steer the club through the renovation process. The creation of the master plan was the first part of a multi-step, long-term plan.
"Through our process, we interviewed almost a dozen architects of high national regard," said Alan Coshatt, committee chairman. "After careful examination, our decision to hire Lester George was probably the easiest and best move we made. His work on several high-profile historic layouts has drawn praise from the entire golf community.
"Lester presented not only the most creative design features for our course, but more importantly, how to implement a process where the plan is a success before it was even unveiled."
George took care to create a plan that would help make the course playable for all members, promote club membership, attract future events, maximize views, offer more strategic playing options, correct infrastructure deficiencies and increase environmental sensitivity.
"Lester has an innate ability to listen and a strong imagination for creating exceptional golf experiences," said Robert Carr, VCC's general manager. "After we presented the master plan to the membership, and they saw that the plan addressed the aspirations they had voiced to Lester during town hall meetings, they were excited by the possibilities for the new golf course. This logically motivates us to move the project forward into the next phase of design and planning."
George is known for his renovation and restoration of classic golf courses, some of which include The James River and Westhampton courses at The Country Club of Virginia, The Country Club of Florida in Boynton Beach, Fla, The Old White Course at The Greenbrier, Cavalier Golf & Yacht Club in Virginia Beach, VA, and Starmount Forest Country Club in Greensboro, N.C.

SHEPHERDSTOWN - Six local fire companies responded to an emergency call at Shepherd University's Scarborough Library on Friday afternoon.
Firefighters from Citizens Fire Company, the Boonsboro Fire Department, Sharpsburg Fire Department, Shepherdstown Fire Department, Baker Heights and the VA Medical Center responded to the call, which came in at 1:48 p.m.
"Somebody pulled the fire alarm after they saw smoke in the building," said Zachery Morgan, captain of the Shepherdstown Fire Department. "The Shepherd Police Department arrived first to find moderate smoke conditions in the reading corridor of the building. That's when they in turn called the fire department."
The library was evacuated immediately. When the fire department arrived, the building was checked for smoke and fire.
"When our guys arrived, there was light to moderate smoke in the reading corridors of the building," Morgan said. "All the floors checked out OK, and there was no actual fire."
Morgan said the university's maintenance department workers helped firefighters identify the source of the smoke, which was a malfunctioning HVAC unit.

According to Morgan, there were no injuries to any students, university faculty and staff or any of the firefighters. He said there is no damage to the building and the maintenance department will ensure the HVAC unit is replaced or repaired.

The Power of the Pussy...This is the power that beautiful women have! When you are under control of her power you are in a trance like state and the only source of comfort is her Pussy. This power is activated after you have become one with her, and actually care very much about her. Its not just any pussy it HAS to be her, her persona..and everything else about her.. The more you are attracted to the chick the stronger the pull to the warm, piece of Heaven between her legs. This force is inescapable , and can lead men to go totally Bizerrco! He might be tempted to buy her a ring, and forsake all other chicks , then the power has manifested itself. Rulers down through the ages have lost kingdoms because of this power and it has caused many forms of violence across the planet..
Guy 1.. I cant stop thinking about her, she is using the power of the pussy on me I think Im going ask her to marry me !
Guy 2.. Dude whats wrong with you? Go to the desert and take a handfull of mushrooms or something !

The big question on the opening day was could Sunderland, after their less than impressive pre-season, make an impression against a potentially demoralised Arsenal? The North Londoners seem to be making a habit of selling their best players, and have moved their captain on in each of the last 3 seasons.
We have less than 4 weeks to go to attract new firepower to the club in this transfer window, and I do really like the idea of Wolves' Steven Fletcher joining us, after news of today's improved £12M bid for the Scotsman. He has always done well against Sunderland, he is a proven goalscorer, and he seems to have the right temperament, interacting well with his team-mates

Nationally Ranked South Carolina Beats Baseball Team
Ball State's baseball team fell to 5-6 overall after suffering a 14-4 loss to the nation's seventh ranked South Carolina Gamecocks Wednesday.
South Carolina scored six runs in the first three innings and batted around to score seven more in the bottom of the eighth on the way to the win. South Carolina improves to 10-2 on the year.
Ball State opened up a 1-0 lead on the first pitch of the game as Blake Beemer knocked the first pitch he saw from South Carolina starter Curt Britt for a solo homer to right field, his first home run of the season.
Ball State cut the Gamecocks lead to a pair of runs in the third inning. Elbert DeVarie led off with a double down the right field line and eventually scored on Ryan Spaulding's RBI sacrifice fly to left-center
With a 7-4 lead entering the bottom of the eighth inning, the Gamecocks scored some insurance runs to go ahead by 10 over the Cardinals.
Beemer was 2-for-5 with one run-batted-in and one run scored. Sean Godfrey managed three hits in five at-bats plus had one RBI.
Clay Manering started on the mound for the Cardinals and suffered the loss after pitching 2.1 innings and allowing six earned runs. Manering fell to 0-2 on the season.
Ball State will play at Coastal Carolina Friday and face Ohio State Saturday at Conway, S.C., plus Harvard Sunday in Conway.

The Wisconsin Sustainability Intern Program is no longer available.
The University of Wisconsin Extension's Solid and Hazardous Waste Education Center (SHWEC) supports University of Wisconsin students to work in Wisconsin facilities to research solutions for specific waste-related problems to foster sustainability and profitability. In 2013 there were six interns assigned to public and private facilities throughout the state of Wisconsin.
- Host facilities gain well-developed options for improved efficiency, cost savings, reduced waste and reduced regulatory burden.
- Students gain hands-on experience in a real-world setting and an understanding of the environmental and financial impact of implementing pollution prevention and sustainability strategies.
- SHWEC gains success stories of businesses and institutions that have used pollution prevention strategies to solve waste problems.
- Other facilities benefit by learning about pollution prevention strategies that work.
- Host facilities identify their primary waste concerns and propose intern projects to address them.
- SHWEC works with the host facilities to develop projects with good cost-saving potential.
- SHWEC evaluates all of the project proposals using a weighted-scoring process that considers multiple aspects of a project, such as application to similar facilities and management support.
- SHWEC recruits upper level University of Wisconsin system students with strong technical backgrounds. The interns work full-time at a host facility for three months in the summer to research waste reduction options. SHWEC pays the intern salaries, and bills the host facility at the end of the summer for the cost share.
- Working with SHWEC staff, each host facility supervises its intern and directs the project within the scope of the agreed upon project.
- At the end of the 12 weeks, you get suggestions to help save money by reducing or eliminating waste and move forward with your sustainability efforts. SHWEC shares this information with similar facilities in Wisconsin. Students have an excellent job experience to put on their resumes.
At the conclusion of a project, the host facility receives a report of the intern's findings. This report outlines the student's suggestions and provides a cost analysis for them. The student presents findings in a detailed presentation to the host facility.
Each project requires a SHWEC Intern Project Agreement. The agreement outlines the project, sets the scope of work, and defines the research and deliverables. It highlights the roles and responsibilities of the people involved.
A project's summary and description vary with every project. The roles and responsibilities of the host facility, SHWEC and the student intern for completing the projects are standard. These are detailed in the student intern program agreement (pdf). A project's outline is generally built from the following framework:
- Determine how waste is currently produced in host facility processes. Gather data from reports and running tests.
- Identify what similar facilities are doing. Contact vendors about best available technologies. Research and evaluate options for reducing waste.
- Work with the host facility's management and employees to determine feasibility of different waste reduction options. Develop a cost comparison between the use of existing procedures and the new ones.
- Implement approved changes.
- Enter data related to the project (e.g., amounts of waste avoided, cost savings, pollutants reduced) in an electronic spreadsheet.
- Summarize findings in a detailed report, including recommended procedures and system configuration along with an economic analysis and justification of any changes.
- Present findings to the host facility and SHWEC staff.
Students work full time at the host facility for the summer, for a maximum of 480 hours (12 weeks). The host facility appoints one person to act as the intern's supervisor at the host facility. SHWEC appoints one faculty member to oversee the project and guide its technical aspects. SHWEC bills the facility for its cost share at the end of the summer.
Contact Marlene Jaglinski by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or at 414-227-3371 with questions related to SHWEC's student intern program.
UW-Extension provides equal opportunities in employment and programming including Title IX and ADA.
