The efficient market hypothesis not withstanding, the market and the media that covers it have their ritual yearly debates about seasonal stock market behaviors. These debates that perk up at specific points in the year include the January effect (December and January), the Halloween effect (November to April) and of course the Sell in May phenomenon. As the Google Trends chart below for the query "Sell in May and Go Away" shows, the number of people typing that query into Google spikes every April almost without fail.
Sell in May (aka Summer Swoon) is a stock investing strategy which suggests that you could reduce the risk of your portfolio without substantially reducing reward, if you were out of the market during the summer months. So is Sell in May an old wives tale or something to worry about (particularly this year)? I offer five viewpoints for supporting the validity of the theory, and one contrarian.
Absolute Returns. The first question on Sell in May is to ask - are the absolute returns for the May-October timeframe are positive or negative? According to Bloomberg's studies over the past 50 years is barely positive. If you're an optimistic person, you will take a positive number (however small) as a reason to be in the market. If you are less optimistic, you would question whether the return is worth the risk.
Sector Variation. The next question - is the risk-return a function of your sector choices? The answer according to another Bloomberg study is yes. Much to my chagrin, this study pollutes the theory as it measures the returns from April to October (April being one of the strong months of the year). But it does suggest that a defensive investor (e.g. one invested in utilities) does not face a dramatic seasonal difference of returns and should probably stay the course. An investor in cyclicals or technology should however heed this seasonality.
Mid-Term Election Effects. We've talked about seasonality and sectors, but how about 2014 in particular? Is 2014 different than the normal year? The answer is yes, 2014 is negatively differentiated from other years in being a mid-term election year. Mid-term election years have muted total returns and larger than average seasonal variations. Both these are explained by the political uncertainty caused from lack of clarity on the Congressional balance of power.
Contrarian. The above viewpoints seem overwhelmingly in favor of staying out of the market in the summer months. However as Peter Lynch once said Behind every stock is an actual company. And behind every company is actual earnings. In the long run, efficient markets will positively support companies with positive earnings momentum. If you take that viewpoint, then the earnings reports from early 2014 suggest that we have a slowly healing economy, and that stock-pickers have less to worry about.
So in conclusion, where do all the pictures above leave us? Well, they suggest that seasonality and its effects are in the eye of the beholder. If you are a broad index investor, you want to take the seasonality seriously, as it does affect the market (negatively) as a whole. If you are a sector ETF investor, seasonality affects you conditionally as a function of the sectors you are in. Generally speaking, those who invest in high Beta sectors (e.g. tech, biotech) have more to worry about. If you are an individual stock picker, the technical behavior of your stocks (e.g. their support and resistance) might be more important than the seasonal ebbs and flows of the market as a whole.

Learn about Oglethorpe University gymnastics club, and registering for elective seminars and discussion sections. Not all recruiting is done like NCAA Division I teams. It's practically impossible for college coaches to watch every player who has expressed interest in their program, so if you get the chance, make a memorable first impression by visiting the campus in person. Finally, check with your major department for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Oglethorpe University Gymnastics information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Oglethorpe University.
As a student athlete, you can play college sports competitively at an intercollegiate level, or just for fun via intramurals. Please keep in mind that few students will qualify for athletic scholarships, and that college coaches sward available sports scholarship money judiciously.
Approximately 126,000 student athletes go to college on either a partial or full athletic scholarship, but the vast majority of college athletic teams have open tryouts, and walk-ons may land a position on the team if they are talented enough. If you've been recruited or made it past a walk-on tryout, that's when the real challenge starts. You still have to make it through daily practices, and several rounds of cuts in order to make the team. Texas County Tech football game schedule may indicate that it's an option to delay college entrance by a year. An extra year in high school or prep school can allow players to mature mentally, bring grades and SAT test scores up, put on weight and gain strength. Beyond consideration for Oglethorpe University gymnastics club, you may think about Grand Rapids Community College class requirements for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

visual editor pop up windows broken browser asking about htm files
When adding a link in the visual editor, the pop-up is either blank or a browser dialog interrupts and asks how to handle the "link.htm" file. In my case, this was caused by some htaccess mods associated with w3totalcache.
w3 total cache has some htaccess rules which may be optionally added to help with compression, caching, and headers. One of these lines is :
# BEGIN Define Mime Types (in case /etc/mime.types is poorly configured or incorrect) AddType text/htm .htm
Removing the second line solved the problem. Unsure of whether this was a bug/feature, or whether this htaccess line could still be helpful. Can anyone explain this further?

The time I've been waiting for all winter is finally here: the first of the season's strawberries.
I'm surprised to find out that many people don't associate spring with strawberries, but I do. In the South, they always marked the arrival of new spring crops and, of course, lasted well into the summer, when most people think strawberries are at their best. And while I agree with that opinion, I still love the first strawberries, with their slight tartness.
That tartness suits them well to maceration, my favorite treatment for strawberries. Akin to marinating meat, maceration is when you soak a fruit in liquid in order to soften it. How you macerate it and in what liquid is where you can get creative.
For tart strawberries, I start with the smallest pinch of salt and an even covering of sugar. Because I like to add citrus to balance the sweetness but the berries are already slightly tart, I sprinkle a little orange zest on top, which is a sweet citrus that really highlights the berry. I also use ruby port, an often overlooked liquor, because of its deep, caramel, almost berry-like flavor and aroma. When all these combine and you let the fruit sit for about 10 minutes, the sugar dissolves and forms a sublime syrup with the strawberries' own juices and creates a fruit compote perfect for spooning over yogurt and granola, a slice of cake, or even in a cocktail glass with champagne.
To get the recipe and shopping list on your smartphone (iPhone, BlackBerry, Android device) or PC, click here.
Macerated Strawberries in Port
Makes about 4 cups
1 1/2 pounds cored strawberries, diced
1-2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon ruby port
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Grated peel of 1/2 small orange
- Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, and then toss gently with a spoon. Let sit for at least 10 minutes and then stir again until sugar dissolves and fruit is softened. Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour.
Note: The longer the fruit sits after being combined with the other ingredients, the softer it will be come. If it sits for several hours, it will become mushy. At that point, simply puree it in a blender and you have a simple fruit sauce to drizzle over cake or spread on toast like a fresh jam, or mix into vanilla ice cream for a strawberry milk shake.

Wednesday, May 18, 2016
The company Financiera de Inversión has received authorization to start operating as a private bank in the country.
With capital of $15 million, the company which has so far only operated in the financial segment will start providing banking services under the brand Banco INV, and will be subject to the regulation required of participants of the banking system.
Friday, February 13, 2015
The Superintendency of Banks in Guatemala has published the Financial Inclusion Report corresponding to the fourth quarter of 2014, noting an increase of 15% in the number of account holders.
From a statement issued by the Superintendeny of Banks in Guatemala:
Tuesday, January 6, 2015
Slow growth is projected in El Salvador, very good performance in Nicaragua, stability in Panama, more competition in Guatemala and moderate growth in Costa Rica.
From a report by Fitch Ratings entitled "2015 Perspectives: Central American Banks":
Costa Rica:
Fitch Ratings has revised the outlook for the sector from positive to stable, because the agency does not anticipate substantial improvements in respect to the previous year. The system's profitability will remain low, with less than 1.0% ROAA. The results are limited because of the high dependence on net interest margin (NIM) and additional expenses in provisions for loan losses, due to regulatory changes that established gradual constitutions of general provisions for the best qualified loans. In addition, Fitch does not anticipate improvements in revenue diversification and also foresees a significant revenue exchange rate differential. This last factor has a significant influence on the results of the banks in Costa Rica.
Thursday, November 27, 2014
The banks Davivienda and Grupo Aval, already present in Central America, could be in talks with Citi to acquire its consumer banking operations in the region.
The sale of assets of Citigroup in 7 countries in Latin America represents an expansion opportunity for Colombian banks.
Tuesday, November 25, 2014
The bank of Guatemalan origin has announced the completion of the purchase process of Procredit and the beginning of operations in December, focusing its services on the agricultural sector.
After completing the purchase process of shares of ProCredit Bank for $30 million, Banrural has announced that it will start operations with 15 agencies nationwide.
Monday, October 20, 2014
Analysis by Fitch Ratings projects that banks in the region will maintain strong balance sheets and have stable profitability in 2014.
Excerpted from Fitch Ratings:
Differential Growth and Opportunities: Low financial depth, in most systems, continues to provide significant opportunities for expansion of bank balance sheets; although this is limited by low average income levels. In 2014, assets in the region could increase about 10%, mainly driven by higher portfolios. Central American banking portfolio growth will reach double digits, except for the systems in El Salvador and Panama, which will grow at a slower pace.
Wednesday, September 17, 2014
The Superintendency of Banks and Other Financial Institutions of Nicaragua has authorized Banco Corporativo to carry out financial intermediation activities in the country.
The entry of a new financial market participant is received favorably by other banks, provided that "...
Monday, July 15, 2013
Swiss bankers have detected interesting sectors in the country to whom they can provide services and financing.
"Proof of this is that it is not only the banks USB, BSI and Merrill Lynch whose representative offices form part of the International Banking Center (CBI), but also at least another three new ones will soon implement projects in Panama," reported Capital.com.pa.
Wednesday, November 28, 2012
In principle, the change will only be cosmetic, with the functional and operational structure remaining in place in the 30 offices and subsidiaries that are now part of the Colombian financial group.
In January 2012 Davivienda signed an agreement to the effect that HSBC Costa Rica, HSBC Honduras and HSBC El Salvador form part of the Bank to strengthen its regional presence. The purchase of the Costa Rican operation was formalized in August, which marked the beginning of a new phase in the organization while maintaining its focus on adding value to customers, employees and shareholders, with a broad portfolio of products and services.
Wednesday, May 30, 2012
The largest financial institution in Colombia is looking in Latin America for good opportunities to acquire assets.
Bancolombia started its regional expansion in 2007 by buying Banagrícola in El Salvador, for $900 million.
Friday, May 4, 2012
Panama and El Salvador are seen by Grupo Sura as countries "with political, social and macroeconomic stability" for their expansion projects.
The president of Colombia's Grupo Sura, David Bojanini, said his holding company plans regional procurement in countries that provide economic, political and especially legal security.
Monday, March 12, 2012
The Panamanian bank is continuing its expansion plans in Central and South America.
Multibank, an entity founded on Panamanian capital, intends to consolidate and expand its share of the banking sector in Colombia and Central America, where it has already acquired full control of Macrofinanciera SA (Colombia) and the incorporation of the company Multi Resuelve (Costa Rica), focused on financing the purchase of cars.
Monday, January 23, 2012
The Rural Development Bank plans to open 21 branches in Honduras, investing $40 million.
Guatemalan banks are expanding into Central America. This time it is the Banrural, which has plans to open 21 branches in Honduras after obtaining permission from the authorities.
Friday, November 4, 2011
According to experts, more branches do not mean a larger banking population.
While the number of bank branches in the country has grown significantly, the number of Guatemalans who have a bank account is less than 25%.
Experts in the field, such as the economist Julio Estrada, say that one of the main advantages of the population being involved in banking is access to credit, which enhances a country's development.
Monday, October 24, 2011
The International Banking Center notes a dynamic expansion of the internal loan portfolio to 20.5%, and the same can be said for the portfolio investments, up 14.7% during the month of August.
A press release from the Superintendency of Banks of Panama reads:

Fair district maps campaign, Foxconn, state party fundraising, and more...
MADISON - After Charlottesville, and Donald Trump's reprehensible responses to it, more and more people are becoming aware of how fragile our democracy is. Last Sunday, I went up to Stoddard, Wisconsin, to give a talk to the Vernon County Democrats on this subject, and I noted that democracy is not doing too well under Scott Walker, either. But I also laid out reasons for hope, as you'll see here: Our democracy is hanging by a thread Tonight, I'm going up to Shell Lake, near Spooner, to give a similar talk to the new group, Indivisible of Northwestern Wisconsin. And I'd be happy to give a talk in your community, too, so just send me an email at
. I know there's a hunger for this discussion. While watching the news on Monday, I saw that Walker got some UW doctors to front for him and Foxconn. We found out who the doctors were, and some were donors to Walker: Walker flanked by donors at UW Hospital to promote Foxconn And in one of our periodic postings, we noted that Republicans in Wisconsin are far outraising their Democratic counterparts so far this year: Wisconsin GOP outraises Dems 3 to 1 in the first six months of 2017 I mentioned that I'm not losing hope. Here's one reason: The tremendous momentum in Wisconsin for adopting fair voting maps – for ending gerrymandering in Wisconsin once and for all. The momentum picked up speed in just the last two weeks: Three more counties on board for Fair Maps! It's this activism for democracy at the grassroots, which the media tends to ignore, that will bring us through the Age of Trump and the Age of Walker. Of that, I am sure. Best, Matt Rothschild

We have a poisoned political culture that glorifies greed, dooming us to a government that works for a wealthy and well-connected few at everyone else's expense.
ALTOONA, WI - Wisconsin is up to its eyeballs in problems. Our state has lost its way. It is becoming a shadow of its former self. Same goes for the country as a whole.
The problems vary from place to place. Go to Trempealeau County and you see hills and bluffs disappearing and hear fears expressed over the effects of breathing the fine dust that hangs in the air or drinking water that has turned an amber color. In the Central Sands region you see lakes and streams drying up because a few are being allowed to drill high-capacity wells and hog all the water. In Kewaunee County you are told about massive industrial feedlots and how a third of private wells have been poisoned and you see someone turn on a water tap and what comes out of the faucet is brown and smells like cow manure. A few counties away parents are frightened about what old lead pipes in their community's water system might be doing to their children.
Somewhere else you run into young Millennials buried under a mountain of student debt. One owes $30,000. Another $80,000. A third carries over $100,000 in debt. All of them wonder how they are going to dig out of the hole they are in. All of them wonder when — or if — they will ever be able to buy a car or make a down payment on a house. Another place you meet a farmer who now is expected to file payroll taxes online but has no Internet access out on the farm.
At the next stop everyone is talking about the criminal justice system and racial profiling and mass incarceration. And how impossible it is to make ends meet earning the minimum wage. Then you meet some former factory workers who used to make $25 an hour working on an assembly line but could only find work paying $11 or $12 an hour after the plant closed. Their standard of living has been cut in half. They find little comfort in the news that the state's unemployment rate is coming down some. They can find a job. What's next to impossible to find is work that keeps them in the middle class.
Down the road a piece are town officials agonizing over a decision to tear up paved roads and go back to gravel because they can't afford to maintain the pavement and keep filling all the potholes. Next you arrive in a community where the townspeople are resigned to their local school closing. They know how that school is a hub of local activity, and they know losing it will be a death sentence for their town.
The problems vary widely from place to place. But they all grow from the same taproot, a poisoned political culture that glorifies greed, dooming us to a government that works for a wealthy and well-connected few at everyone else's expense and an economy that benefits a privileged few and leaves so many behind. The issue is inequality, both political and economic. The problem is privilege, both political and economic.
Solving the many problems plaguing Wisconsin and America depends on remedying the one behind them all.
— Mike McCabe
There is real desperation here, because our job growth has trailed the National average 22 straight quarters, but that doesn't mean we need to give away the farm. We can do better.
MADISON - Every single elected official is interested and willing to help businesses build and create family supporting jobs here in Wisconsin. That's because our job growth has trailed the National average 22 straight quarters, every single quarter since Governor Walker created the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC). There is real desperation, because there is real need. But that doesn't mean we need to give away the farm (literally) for the big fish that falls into our lap. We can work hard and build the businesses we have with investments in education and training, infrastructure, and our assets as a state like the environment.
We all love Wisconsin because it is such a beautiful area to live, raise a family, and retire. Every corner of our state has pristine natural areas we all use for recreation, hunting and other leisure activities. Sacrificing those natural areas as a part of the FOXCONN deal is foolish. Directly putting our water, air and environment at risk is bad public policy. The "give away our environment" attitude with this deal also opens the door to exempt future economic development deals from environmental approval rules and is simply unacceptable. We have dozens of examples of Wisconsin businesses that have grown and flourished without dumping waste and diverting streams and sacrificing Great Lakes waters.
Next we need to examine the deal. Is it really the best we could get for our taxpayer investment or does it reflect the political desperation some leaders feel because of their own failures? Any taxpayer funded investment should demonstrate the best return on investment we can get, build family supporting jobs to replace the union living wage manufacturing jobs we have lost, and have real recovery claw backs if the business packs up and moves or if they automate and eliminate jobs in the process. Governor Walker and WEDC do not have an awesome track record with recovery when companies outsource jobs and the potential replacement of supported jobs with automation is a brave new world for all of us.
The deal does have benchmarks before funds are released which is good, but lacks claw backs if jobs are outsourced or automated – the new Assembly version is just the same. Claw backs require businesses to pay back taxpayer costs if the business fails to keep the contract. Wisconsin needs to be able to at least try to take on FOXCONN if they damage our environment and our economy. FOXCONN is not a Wisconsin company building their future here. They are a Taiwanese company looking to avoid President Trump's tariff threats and we are just the state with the best deal for them.
We cannot let the relentless pursuit of jobs take away what makes Wisconsin our home. We can do better.

Newly stationed at an Army base in Germany, Josh Evans was trying to clear up issues with his student loans in the United States when a flustered soldier passed him.
"Man, the World Trade Center just got bombed."
Evans, who grew up in Lawrence and now lives in Olathe, remembered the 1993 bombing and didn't think this news was any big deal. The U.S. had been attacked before.
Then the second plane hit.
"They tell us to get our gear on," Evans recalls. "We don't know what the heck is happening. … I just got out of training and we weren't dealing with this kind of attack. We didn't know what the next step would be."
As Evans watched television reports in his sergeant's room, the young soldier started to realize that the world had changed. His world had changed.
He'd been in the Army only about nine months, signing up in December 2000. After graduating from the University of Missouri-Kansas City with a music degree, he'd decided that becoming a teacher wasn't for him.
"I thought, 'I'm going to serve my country, do something good for myself, pay off my student loans and travel around the world,'?" Evans says. "Then all that changed."
Now he'd have the chance to do something big, serve his country in a way many people haven't. His main worry was his folks. When he signed up for the Army, they didn't expect he would be going off to war.
It took him a few days to reach them by phone.
"I was like, 'Mom, I'm all right. No, I don't know anything. I love you, too.'?"
His father asked one question.
"Well, son, are you ready?"
The 24-year-old answered: "You trained me good, Dad."
On March 19, 2003, the day the U.S. invaded Iraq, Evans celebrated his 26th birthday at the Kuwait/Iraq border. As he served his country, he thought about a time in the future when he would have a family.
"I knew I didn't want something else like this to happen again, where my kids would be threatened," Evans says. "I wanted them to live in a safe place."
He's now a stay-at-home dad of two girls in Olathe. He has an MBA but lost his job two years ago.
Today, he'll think back to that morning 10 years ago.
"It'll remind me of how mad I was, that a bunch of people who don't like freedom decided to get us."

Apple, in its newest move, has released the first patch, 10.3.1 update, a week after launching the iOS 10.3 for the iDevices, namely the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch.
On the feature front, the new security fix, 10.3.1 update, pivots on the Wi-Fi-based concerns, where a potential attacker can execute arbitrary code on the Wi-Fi chip. With this update at the disposal, such attempts have been made ineffective.
The next issue, which has been decisively addressed with the update, is the older 32-bit devices, still compatible with iOS 10. Such devices are iPhone 5, iPhone 5C, and the iPad 4th generation. Until last week, the 10.3 update was not accessible through OTA on these devices, and users were compelled to the use iTunes. With the launch of 10.3.1 update, users now can download the update through OTA again.

The board hiring the University of Arizona's next president is launching contract negotiations with its top pick, Dr. Robert C. Robbins of Texas.
The decision by the Arizona Board of Regents marks one of the last steps in Robbins' eventual employment as the UA's 22nd president.
"Negotiating a contract for the next president and ensuring a smooth transition are crucial next steps," board Chair Greg Patterson said in a news release following a Monday afternoon vote at regents headquarters in Phoenix.
Regents expect to vote on Robbins' contract and formally announce him as the new president during a two-day board meeting at the UA on April 6-7.
Robbins, who earns more than $1.2 million a year as president and CEO of Texas Medical Center, may be the highest-paid presidential finalist the regents have ever negotiated with.
His current compensation is roughly double that of UA President Ann Weaver Hart, whose pay package totals $670,000 this year. Robbins has said he expects to take a "major pay cut" at the UA.
Hart announced last year that she would step down as president when her contract ends in June 2018, but the regents decided to replace her ahead of time.
Robbins, a former chief of cardiology at Stanford University's medical school, is one of two finalists the regents announced Feb. 28 to replace Hart. The other finalist, Arizona State University executive Sethuraman Panchanathan, was eliminated a week later.

For larger small businesses (25 to 100 computers/employees), the IT labour requirements of their computer network can be significant enough that consideration is given to hiring a full time employee to dedicate to the IT Support roles. The alternatives are having an in-house employee support the organization on a part time basis, while also serving other significant roles. Or a company can outsource their IT support to companies like Smart Dolphins. There are a number of considerations here, many of which are often overlooked. I will be sharing some of these considerations through a series of six blogs over the coming weeks. Here is the third.
Last week I reviewed the total costs of hiring a full time person. This week I will be considering IT leadership and the other proactive roles needed in the organization.
Proactive IT Leadership
Information Technology needs Leadership.
To be able to see the whole forest while you're also examining specific trees takes rare talent and discipline.
Next week I will be examining the dangers of over-investing in IT support.

Michael T. McPhearson, 02-21-2010
I had a strange and disappointing encounter with my Congressional Representative William Lacy Clay Jr., Democrat of Saint Louis Missouri's 1st District. I was in the Ronald Reagan National Airport in DC, still known by many only as Washington National, returning to Saint Louis from a meeting about U.S. foreign policy. I was sitting waiting for my plane when he walked by. I was surprised when I saw him, taking a moment to gather my luggage to pursue him. When I stepped out on the walkway he was a good distance ahead of me so I called out, "Representative Clay." I used the volume level we all attempt when we want to get someone's attention, but we do not want to embarrass ourselves screaming. I hoped to those around me my voice would sound like background noise, but that Clay would hear his name. He kept walking. I think I may have called out again. He slowed down, tilting his head a little. Then he stopped and turned. I did not expect him to recognize me. I think we met briefly once sometime ago. I was in a trot towards him, so it quickly became apparent I was calling out to him. He said, "What?" in what seemed to me an irritated voiced.
"I would like to talk to you for a moment."
"About what? I'm trying to get out of here, man."
"Well if you are in a hurry that's OK. I'm from Saint Louis," I answered with some trepidation.
"You can call my office. I don't have a card," he said with visible impatience.
I replied, "If you are in a hurry, I understand." He turned. "Thanks," I said to his back as he departed.
I was thrown off by his reaction. So much so that I claimed to be from Saint Louis, which is something I never say. Usually when asked, "Where are you from?" I reply with extreme intention, "I'm from Fayetteville, North Carolina, but I live in Saint Louis." I wanted to quickly introduce myself as the Executive Director of Veterans For Peace. Let him know I am stepping down and moving to New Jersey but would like to talk to him sometime in the near future about Congress and the wars. I am pretty sure I will be spending more time in DC since I will be much closer. I also wanted to inform him that my successor, Dennis Lane lives in his district and may contact him soon.
I really do understand that he did not have time to talk and I can contact his office. But I am one of his constituents and he made me feel like I was a nuisance. He made no attempt to acknowledge his job as a public servant. Of course I do not expect deference to me. But I do expect good manners. A pleasant way of saying, "Sorry I'm in a hurry. I apologize for not having time. Give my office a call."
My encounter with Representative Clay was disappointing but illustrative end to my trip. I was returning from a modest sized meeting with citizens from across the political spectrum described by Voters for Peace Director Kevin Zeese as coming together,"…unified by our opposition to the militarism and war of the United States." The gathering was historic in its diversity and objectives. To give you an idea, the participants included Libertarians, Independents, Republicans, Democrats, Greens, College Park Students for a Democratic Society, The American Conservative, The Nation, Young Americans For Liberty, Voters For Peace, Peace Action, a former organizer for Pat Buchanan's 1992 presidential bid, The Black Agenda Report, a conservative gentleman who I had a little ideological tussle with over the use of words, and of course Veterans For Peace. During a time when the government is polarized and many citizens are not willing to work towards a common goal, these citizens who oppose each other on many issues came together in an effort to find common ground to make a positive difference in our country; specifically to end the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq in the short term and to change our foreign policy away from empire and our culture of militarism in the long term. To do this we know we need responsive elected officials.
Representative Clay's response to me is an example of at least part the of the problem. Washington has become so out of touch with the average person, that a man like Clay, who is known to be close to the people and respected by many in Saint Louis, including progressive activists, finds himself slipping into a comfortable state in which he thinks it is OK to dismiss a voter and go so far as to call me "man," as if we know each other or we are Bros on the street. Who represents the common person in D.C? Do I have to be a big money donor or wear an expensive suit to appear to be worth his time by? These are the questions that ran through my mind as I returned to my seat. I was reminded of the enormous challenge to be heard and seen above the din of corporate money and partisan politics. Rep. Clay may have been having a bad day, not feeling well or simply not aware of his actions. I am familiar with rushing to get somewhere only to be stopped to talk by someone I do not know. As Executive Director of Veterans For Peace I have to address many concerns and spend time with people when I have to meet a deadline or short on time. But it is my job to remember that it is our members who pay my salary and make VFP the great organization it is today. VFP would be nothing without its members. There is a way to treat people with respect and dignity and still meet my deadlines. When I forget this either for a moment or all together, I do a disservice to the organization and myself as a leader. I become part of the problem and have to gain control of myself to merge back into being part of the solution. We as citizens must gain control of our government. If we want to put our country on a path away from war and towards diplomacy, justice and peace; we have little choice.

For some time, engineers have claimed that surgical robot systems have the potential to enhance and surpass human skill and dexterity.
Despite extensive research, there have been limited successful use cases, and previous applications to the clinic lacked efficacy and efficiency.
This week, a multidisciplinary team from University of Bern announced the successful implementation of a high-precision surgical robot for cochlear implantation.
The critical development was a reliable, computer-controlled safety mechanism when drilling a hole into the patient's skull.
In the video below, Prof Stefan Weber describes efforts to develop a robot "do something that human surgeons actually cannot" do: precisely measuring position to 25 microns accuracy with simultaneous intra-operative tissue monitoring.

Time until Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars release!
Game is already released
Conception II: Children of the Seven StarsLearn more
Conception II: Children of the Seven Stars is a Japanese role-playing video game and a follow-up to Conception: Ore no Kodomo o Undekure!. The player control a student at a high school that doubles as a training facility for demon hunters. The protagonist possesses an extremely high amount of ether in his body, which allows him to conceive Star Children to fight demons by "classmating" with his other classmates. During battle, fighters can be strategically placed around the enemies, allowing players to either safely target weak points or charge head on for bigger rewards.

text: My (previously manimal's) 1985 BMW 325e is suffering from a misfire. I don't know how old the distributor cap is. I have plugs (Bosch WR9LS) in my RockAuto cart already since those look bad and need to be replaced anyway. I am wondering about replacing my cap, rotor, and wires too while I'm ordering. Unlike other cars, though, this hardware isn't trivially cheap- not like the $3 dist. cap I got for my buddy's VW bug last year. Plugs, wires, cap, and rotor are over $100. I pulled off the cap to see what it looked like under there, and I'm not sure what this business is. It's not the carbon tracing I'm used to seeing. It doesn't wipe off of scratch easily. So, take a look. Does this look suspect? Sorry for the crap pictures, my Droid 3 is taking poor pictures lately. It's frustrating- I'll watch it autofocus right past a crisp imagee and too far to a fuzzy one.
