Obama opposed reparations for Black slavery, but gladly pockets payback for his work in ensuring that banks are "too big to jail." Obama has been on the Lord's of Capital's payroll, coming and going, having won the presidency with the largest contributions from Wall Street in history. "The fact that his defenders so casually shrug their shoulders and defend kleptocracy ought to be debated."
Freedom Rider: Obama Gets Paid
by BAR editor and senior columnist Margaret Kimberley
"Obama was and is the latest errand boy for big money but he was hyped as a change agent working for our benefit."
Barack Obama will be paid $400,000 to speak to a group of finance capitalists. The only thing shocking about the announcement was the reaction from his horrified worshippers. The Obama campaign marketing team should be proud that their salesmanship is so long lived. There were millions of people under the illusion that Obama would represent their interests. He didn't, of course, and for one very simple reason. He wasn't hired to work for them. The ruling classes, the 1%, the lords of capital, call them what you will, make the hiring decisions and keep giving out bonuses to the men who do their dirty work.
Of course Obama is getting paid. Wall Street and the banks got their bail outs and then some. They weren't prosecuted for their crimes which led to loss of jobs and homes. He kept giving and they kept taking and now it is payback time. Obama is just the latest president to get his unjust reward.
The speech at a Cantor Fitzgerald event typifies what former presidents do. So do former prime ministers and presidents of other countries. The capitalists move their capital around the world driving cities into bankruptcy (Detroit) or even nations (Greece) without fear of any hindrance. In return the compliant politicians are well cared for.
"He kept giving and they kept taking and now it is payback time."
Cantor Fitzgerald describes itself as a "capital markets investment bank." Its chairman and chief executive supported Jeb Bush in the 2016 Republican campaign and John McCain in 2008. The payout to Obama proves that the big money people ultimately can live with Republicans or Democrats. Why shouldn't they? They get what they want no matter who is in power.
Barack and Michelle Obama recently signed a $65 million book deal and some are asking why that isn't enough. That is a good and legitimate question but as is always the case with Obama, the naysayers are shouted down as haters or racists.
White presidents get paid, the first black president should get paid, too. So goes the shallow and pathetic defense. Grow up. Be realistic. Don't be naïve. If those words were a call for true understanding of how the world works, they might be worthwhile. Instead they are used to defend the indefensible, the fact that the people have no say in their sham political system.
"The payout to Obama proves that the big money people ultimately can live with Republicans or Democrats."
Of course the critics who clutch their pearls need to wake up. Barack Obama's 2008 presidential campaign was a thing of marketing beauty, that is to say it was full of lies. All talk of movement politics was a joke. Obama was and is the latest errand boy for big money but he was hyped as a change agent working for our benefit.
The paychecks from book deals and speeches aren't the only ways that ex-presidents make a fast buck. Bill Clinton's "foundation" was an influence peddling slush fund which made him very wealthy. Obama is more subtle and probably won't do anything so obvious. He'll get big money for his presidential libraries and anything else he desires. But he'll also be very serious about helping out the lords of capital.
That is why he has returned to public life as propagandist in chief, lecturing us about the evils of fake news. He has to keep rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic that is capitalism and tell us to believe him and not our lying eyes. This pattern exists all over the world. Former UK prime minister Tony Blair has also enriched himself after leaving office. His current task is trying to undo Brexit and the inconvenience it is causing the 1%.
"Bill Clinton's 'foundation' was an influence peddling slush fund which made him very wealthy."
It is good thing that Obama was so obvious in genuflecting to the people who make everyone else's life miserable. He may have provided an opportunity to change the level of discourse. The fact that his defenders so casually shrug their shoulders and defend kleptocracy ought to be debated. The notion that elected leaders of a supposed democracy should so openly be on the take must be strongly disputed.
The question should not be whether Obama ought to take money from his bosses. The question is why they are his bosses at all. Obama will not be the last commodified candidate used to get popular support for a rotten system. There are more Obamas in our future. They will help the rich get richer while sleight of hand gives the appearance of working for the needs of the people. Of course that wouldn't happen if those claiming to be in a state of resistance really meant it. But bringing down the house of finance capital is not a task for the faint of heart or for those confused about how their country and the world really work.

July 13, 2018
"How can I improve my chances of admission?"
I usually start to hear that question around this time of year. By October, I'm hearing it on an almost daily basis. It's understandable that this is one of the most common questions we get from high school seniors beginning the application process – guidebooks, web searches, and the media would have you believe that there are a myriad of hidden tricks that can significantly boost your odds of getting in (if you could just figure out what they are).
I don't want to oversimplify, but if I were to answer the question of improving your chances in just four words, I would say, "Send a great application." Despite all the hype, that's really the main thing that college admission committees are looking for. Certainly, some colleges look at your demonstrated interest (whether you visit campus, etc.), but that is one piece of a much larger puzzle for those schools. And many colleges offer an opportunity for an evaluative interview, which may be a slightly larger piece of the puzzle (at Richmond, our Spider Chats are purely informational and are not used in the application process). But I can guarantee you that at all colleges, most of the puzzle pieces that will influence your admission are contained within your application.
And the reality is that, by summer and fall of your senior year, just about everything your application reports to us is already set. Think about it – your transcript is getting close to complete (three years of grades behind you, one to go); your curricular choices have already been made; your extracurricular involvement is mostly completed; your standardized test scores are in (though if you're retaking an exam in the fall you may have one to go).
So, frankly, there's not a whole lot you can do at this point to alter what's in your application – and, thus, your chances of admission – for the simple reason that you've already done most of it. Don't let this freak you out; rather, take some comfort in it. Most of your application is, essentially, taken care of at this point.
There are, however, a few very notable exceptions. Firstly, keep your grades strong. I can't emphasize this enough. Most of your grades are already set in stone (or, rather, in your high school's transcript software), but perhaps the most important grades of all – the first quarter/trimester/semester grades of your senior year – are still in progress. It's critical that you keep your grades as strong – if not stronger – than they have been at any other time in high school. Dips or slips will be a red flag to college admission committees across the country. I can't begin to tell you the number of otherwise excellent applications that our committee has turned down because of lackluster senior grades – applications that were, in many cases, on the verge of approval until the mid-year grades arrived.
Secondly, even though the core elements of your application are already there, be sure you convey them to us as best you possibly can. That's what is still in your hands at this point: your essays, short answers, and resume – in other words, the means by which you share your story with us. (You could add evaluative interviews to this list, for colleges that offer them – essentially, another opportunity to present yourself in the strongest light possible.) You can look to other Admission Blog posts – like this one and this one – to get more specific advice on how best to share your story with us. For this entry, I'll just note that there are two sides to it: the content of what you write, and the quality of your writing. Both are extremely important.
I think, when most students ask how they can improve their chances of admission, they're hoping to hear something other than just, "Keep your grades strong and work really hard on your application." But, truly, those two actions will have more impact, proportionally, on your odds of admission than anything else you might do.
There is a third means of improving your chances, and that involves your choice of application plan. At many colleges, early application plans – and, in particular, Early Decision plans – have higher acceptance rates. If you're confident that Richmond is your top choice college, you may be able to improve your odds of admission by committing under an Early Decision plan; historically, our admission rate has been higher within the much smaller Early Decision pool. If you don't have a clear first choice college, or aren't able to apply Early Decision, you should at least consider applying Early Action. It doesn't typically carry the same "boost" that Early Decision does, but it almost never hurts your chances, and it's possible (depending on the year) that it could increase them slightly.
I hope this post is helpful; I don't want you to spend your time looking for hidden secrets and tricks where there really aren't any. I know the college admission process often seems opaque, but in a lot of ways it's much more straightforward than many sources would have you believe. If you have any questions, feel free to post below!

BILL MOYERS : From nine to five she's a working girl, a senior editor at The New Yorker. The rest of the time she's a wife, mother and poet. She burned the midnight oil for ten years to produce her first book of poetry. She called it "A Working Girl Can't Win," but it won for her the praise of critics and the gratitude of women who juggle the hazards of multiple chores and alpha males. I'm Bill Moyers. Join me for the Sounds of Poetry with Deborah Garrison.

DEBORAH GARRISON : I'd like to do a couple of poems about working life, which seems to be my life, actually. This relationship I am about to read about is almost as important as a marriage. The poem is called "The Boss."
A firecracker even after middle age set in, a prince of repression In his coat and tie, with cynical words
for everything dear to him. Once I saw a snapshot of the house he lives in, its fence painted
white, the flowers a wife had planted leaning into the frame on skinny stalks, shaking little pom-poms
of color, the dazzle all accidental, and I felt a hot corrective
sting: our lives would never intersect. At some point he got older, trimmer, became
the formidable man around the office. His bearing upright, what hair he has silver and smooth, he shadows my doorway,
jostling the change in his pocket -- milder now, and mildly vexed. The other day he asked what on earth
was wrong with me, and sat me down on his big couch, where I cried for twenty minutes straight,
snuffling, my eyeliner betraying itself in the stained tears. Impossible to say -- I was crying
because he had asked. He passed tissues, at ease with a fearsome womanly squall that made me alien
even to myself. No, it didn't make him squirm. Across his seventy years over his glasses, he eyed me kindly,
and I thought what countless scenes of tears, of love revealed, he must have known.
GARRISON : I guess I should also read the title poem of the book, which is called "A Working Girl Can't Win." And this again is very much hearing a voice that we hear much more in the media maelstrom of New York City than in some other places. I work at a magazine and there are these editorial meetings where people sit and talk about current subjects and what we should cover and what we shouldn't cover. And there's something so horrible about the way people talk about each other sometimes. Anyway, I tried to capture a little bit of that voice here. It's called "A Working Girl Can't Win."
Is this the birth of a pundit? Or a slut? Is she the woman they courted for her youthful edge or a kiss and tell bimbo, A careerist coquette? The loyal daughter to spin doctors losing their hair or soul sister to feminist essayists everywhere? Is her meteoric rise the source of her potential demise? Is her worldview equal parts yuppie whine and new age rumor? Can we get a biopsy on her latest breast tumor? Is she a failed anorexic, or diet pill faddist who will let it all go and get fat in her fifties? Are her roots rural, right leaning? Is she Jewish, self-hating? Past her sell by date, or still ovulating? Will her husband talk? Does he mind her success? Does anyone know -- does he see her undressed? Has she been photographed? Will she play truth or dare? And more to the point, does anyone care? Come next year, will the masses be reading her story? Will she be on the cover or well past her glory? Either way, we'll move on and she'll tire before long: only her children will grieve at the way she was wronged.
MOYERS : I like the casual, gossipy tone of your poems-
GARRISON : Mmm-hmm [AFFIRMATIVE]-
MOYERS : It's as if we are having a conversation over the water cooler or-
GARRISON : Yes-
MOYERS : -at the end of a day.
GARRISON : Yes. That has been very important to me in poetry, is conversational language. And I think Larkin and Robert Frost and the poets that have been very important to me often have been the conversational poets. To me the idea of intimacy and actuality are such wonderful goals for poetry.
Main tent
GARRISON : This poem about office life is called "Please Fire Me."
"Please Fire Me"
Here comes another alpha male, and all the other alphas are snorting and pawing, kicking up puffs of acrid dust
while the silly little hens clatter back and forth on quivering claws and raise a titter about the fuss.
Here comes another alpha male -- a man's man, a dealmaker, holds tanks of liquor, charms them pantsless at lunch:
I've never been sicker. Do I have to stare into his eyes and sympathize? If I want my job I do. Well I think I'm through
with the working world, through with warming eggs and being Zenlike in my detachment from all things Ego.
I'd like to go somewhere else entirely, and I don't mean Europe.
MOYERS : You got a really good response yesterday when you read the last part of that: I'd like to go somewhere else entirely, and I don't mean Europe.
GARRISON : Yeah. That's a strange line. It came – I don't know. It's a weird thing, when sometimes you don't know quite where a line comes from. I mean, when I wrote that, I wasn't sure: well, why did I mention Europe? And I think it just, ultimately, I couldn't change it. I mean, I couldn't find something that made more obvious sense that worked as well. And I think Europe in some ways is about an even more old-fashioned culture, you know? If I'm here complaining about alpha males and so on, I mean, Europe is even behind us in a way. And, in a way, I also meant, "I don't mean another country -- I mean another planet."
Main tent
GARRISON : This poem is very much a summer New York poem and it's about, really, the mood of New York in summer and the things that can happen there when the weather gets hot. It's called "The Firemen."
God forgive me—
It's the firemen, leaning in the firehouse garage with their sleeves rolled up on the hottest day of the year.
As usual, the darkest one is handsomest. The oldest is handsomest. The one with the thin, wiry arms is handsomest. The young one already going bald is handsomest.
And so on. Every day I pass them at their station: the word sexy wouldn't do them justice. Such idle men are divine— especially in summer, when my hair
sticks to the back of my neck, a dirty wind from the subway grate blows my skirt up, and I feel vulgar,
lifting my hair, gathering it together, tying it back while they watch as a kind of relief Once, one of them walked beside me
to the corner. Looked into my eyes. He said, "Will I never see you again?" Gutsy, I thought. I'm afraid not, I thought.
What I said was I'm sorry. But how could he look into my eyes if I didn't look equally into his? I'm sorry: as though he'd come close, as though
this really were a near miss.
MOYERS : Where did that humor, that is constantly poking through your poetry, where did it come from?
GARRISON : Oh, I don't exactly know. I mean, I think when you're in your daily situation -- and maybe this is partly what poetry is about too, is just pulling back a little bit -- and instead of feeling lost in the mire, trying to step back and see either the humor or the sorrow or the different layers of things that are there. In a way, that is what poetry is -- trying to find a way to understand and describe the world that lifts you a little bit out of it, instead of just being in it and being lost.
Main tent
GARRISON : This poem is about me and a fellow working girl, but far from the office, in another mood. It's called "A Friendship Enters Phase Two."
We were sitting on the porch After dinner, grownups taking stock, no chance of our stopping:
we were going to stay up all night. We're going to stay up all night one of us said, and you lit another cigarette
with a lazy flare, like we'd just been in bed, but our love was pure; I'd never
talked like that to anyone before. Two fathers, one husband, three would be lovers were duly sworn
and testified before us in their turn; their crimes were numerous; when we peered down their gun barrels
their faces and hands and eyes glinted and winked maddeningly at the other end. And we were mad -- mad to shake the kaleidoscope Again: Even virginity, that shoeless waif, streaked low across the moonless cloud-lake, like a slip blown from the line and carried off
to rest in some stranger's muddy yard. All, please; we'd tell no less, no stone was left etc. You were the maestro
twirling a smoke in the dark, then piping on it, braving the toy puffs of death, conducting the ragtag band
of losses. But why, you asked, didn't he love me? Your deep laugh dissolved into the peopled space between
the summer trees whose black leaves flickered green as morning came, the bitch, to shut us down. Goodbye perfect night. You raised your empty dinner glass to toast our forward march and tossing back invisible shots, we proceeded backward into the light.
GARRISON : I think I was in ninth grade when a wonderful English teacher gave us "Thirteen Ways of Looking at a Blackbird" by Wallace Stevens and said, "I'd like you to write a poem, 13 Ways of Looking at --" whatever it is. And I did something incredibly corny. It was like "13 Ways of Looking at a Rainbow," I think it was. Yes, it was. And the idea of ways of looking at itself is a way of understanding poetry, isn't it? I mean, that it's not just what we think of as a rainbow, which is, you know, the thing you see in the sky. But, I don't know, I think one of the images I chose -- one of my little verses was about a fellow classmate's striped T-shirt that was kind of in a puddle on the locker room floor. And I felt so excited with this discovery, that this t-shirt puddled on the floor that was striped, many-colored, that this was a rainbow, and that – this whole idea of "Ways of Looking at," – that you could take one thing that didn't seem to be rainbow-like and then say, "Well, but this is a rainbow too."
"A Kiss"
It was not like everyone had said. Not like being needed, or needing; not desperate; it did not whisper that I'd come to harm. I didn't lose
my head. No, I was not going to leap from a great height and flap my wings. It was in fact
the opposite of flying: it contained the wish to be toppled, to be on the floor, the ground, anywhere I might lie down,
on my back, and you on me. Do you mind? Not like having a conversation exactly, though not unlike telling and being told
what? That I was like a woman admitting there was a part of herself she didn't know? There was a part of myself I didn't know.
An introduction, then to the woman I was like, at least as long as you kissed me. Now that's a long time, At least a couple of women ago.
GARRISON : Now that's a long time, at least a couple of women ago.
MOYERS : I wasn't prepared for that last line. The poem doesn't prepare me for the separation, the distance, the obvious pain that has been there all this whole time, since the kiss.
GARRISON : Yes, well, it's funny, when I read this poem with the students and they were wonderful. One of them talked about how she saw the poem was about memory. And I said, "Well, that's very interesting," and we talked about that and about how that maybe gave the poem, well, let's say you were going to write a poem about a kiss. And you set out to describe the kiss, which is what the poem is. But to give it that extra something is the turn at the end. I'm not just describing what it was like: great kiss, that's it. But the kiss, plus the added layer of what perspective I'm describing it from, which is several lifetimes ago in my life as a woman, I had this kiss, and some other junk [LAUGHS] happened in between. And that, I think, is the poem with an extra layer. That's what makes it a poem, actually.
Main tent
GARRISON : My father died when I was a teenager, and, every once in while, I do get in touch with that moment again. The poem is called "She Thinks of Him on Her Birthday."
It's still winter, and still I don't know you anymore, and you don't know
me. But this morning I stand in the kitchen with the illusion peeling a clementine. Each piece
snaps like the nickname for a girl, the tinny bite it was to be one once. Again I count
your daughters and find myself in the middle, the waist of the hourglass, endlessly pass through and pass through
but holding nothing, dismayed by the grubby February sun I was born under and the cheap pleasure
it gives the window. Yet I raise the shade for it, and try not to feel it is wrong to want spring, to be a season
further from you - not wrong to wish for a hard rain, a hard wind like one we sat out in together or came in from together
GARRISON : I remember being in my early twenties and looking back and saying, "Well, what has happened to me in my life?" And basically I grew up, I went to school, I went to college. I mean, the fact that my father died was the only thing I could say actually happened to me. And so it's a very double-edged thing. In one way, of course, it's the greatest sorrow of my life. I mean, I was 14, and my father was so important to me and of course that kind of loss is devastating in a way. But the flip side of it is that it very much defined who I was and being a survivor, being 15 or 16 and looking around me and realizing, "Hey, you know what? I survived." So now sometimes I look back with the strange thought like, "Could I ever wish it hadn't happened?" Because it's like saying, "I wish I were not who I am." When I've written about it, which hasn't been very much, I have felt that something about going through that and coming out the other side has been very good for me.
Main tent
GARRISON : I'd like to read a poem called "Atlantic Wind," which takes place at the beach on a very windy day.
"Atlantic Wind"
Up out of the surf like a dog gone swimming, slagging sand and spray every which way
and making the news unreadable. Nosing its cloud pups across the sun so that no one can tell
if the afternoon is hot or cool. First sun, then no sun; then with silent roar the sun again
as this restive breath uproots the gay umbrellas and sends them crashing down the beach, flowers become
missiles. I'm trying to nap, the towel slapping jib-like at my legs, the hat that wants
to fly, pinned over my cheeks with a crooked elbow, don't know if I'm frying or chilled as I descend
in my dream a hill where every headstone tilts, where the grasses bow down, obedient
to the blast, and the flowers bow down too - or are uprooted like more wayward umbrellas flung up into the tossing
sky, and then down again spinning they come, now small black parachutes plummeting soundlessly
and from their strings dangle a hundred men, dropped into a war and sure to meet their deaths,
their hundred fates, so many bits of seed or spore, their names I struggle against sleep to know,
but nameless they drop and someone says, we'll never see them more.
Dream over. One eye open, I spy the rustling scene askew: a wailing baby
smacks the sand with one small hand; a girl smooches her guy, a cord of hair whipping round his neck in the horny
breeze. Oh me, oh my, a golden noose to cinch the kiss: Why does the world sometimes menace us like this?
The wind can't tell you, nor can the poets, all along the seaside road come out
on battered porches with their typewriters, thinking to tap their souls away in the fury
but the paper won't stay put. [Applause]
Main tent
GARRISON : I'll read a poem called "3 AM Comedy." It seems to be a theme in my life that I am up at hours when I should not be. And this again is kind of a marriage poem. It's a love poem of an inverted kind.
"3 AM Comedy"
Sometimes it's funny, this after hour when whatever hasn't happened between us hasn't happened again, and I pretend
to be another kind of woman, who spends the night on the couch in a rage, on strike for affection.
How ridiculous. I'm always in this bed, if not having you, then forgiving you
exquisitely, consoling myself with a lame joke: I'm a shrinking being, tinier and tinier I grow,
there I go. The last woman on earth who even bothered about sex
and now I'm nothing but a speck. What a shame for all those lusty men; -- their world without me is barren.
While you, my dear, get larger: you're a hulking man shaped continent. A cool green
giant. (I can hardly reach your leafy parts), or a statuesque philosopher king whose sleep soars above mathematics, his loftiest argument.
MOYERS : You said yesterday, if I heard you right, you said marriage is a great subject.
GARRISON : I do feel marriage is a fan-, it's an infinite mystery. I love it as a subject, because so much of it has to do with conversation between people and different ways of seeing the world. And I also think that the domestic realm is just rich – as Frost found – with so many contradictions. The way you can live with another person and know them so, so well, and yet, in another way, being different, separate people is being infinitely strange. I don't know quite how to say that. It's easier to say in poetry, actually.
Main tent
GARRISON : "She was Waiting to Be Told"
For you she learned to wear a short black slip and red lipstick how to order a glass of red wine and finish it. She learned to reach out as if to touch your arm and then not touch it, changing the subject. Didn't you think she'd begin, or weren't you sorry
to call your best friends by their schoolboy names and give them kisses goodbye, to look away when they say Your wife! So your confidence grows. She doesn't ask what you want because she knows.
isn't that what you think when actually she was only waiting to be told, take off your dress to be stunned and then do this, never rehearsed but perfectly obvious:
In one motion up, over and gone, the X of her arms crossing and uncrossing, her face flashing away from you in the fabric so that you couldn't say if she was appearing or disappearing.
GARRISON : There is something wonderful about a man saying to his wife, "Take off your dress." And then for taking off the dress. And I tried to describe the moment as the dress, as she's kind of, the X of the arms crossing and uncrossing. The moment where, when the dress was coming over the head, that she sort of disappears for a moment in this transaction. She's, you know, she's both appearing and disappearing at the same time as the dress comes off. And that to me is an image that describes something between those two people that is almost easier to say to you than if I tried to describe to you what is the mystery of desire in marriage. If you said to me, "How do you describe desire in your marriage," I mean, I would just throw up my hands. But a poem about a husband asking his wife to take off her dress, when you can see that transaction with the image and some of those nuances, I think it says much more than I could say to you in the abstract.
GARRISON : Now moving through the seasons here. It's called "November on Her Way."
"November on Her Way"
Here we go again, up the narrow stair of fall. And I'm full of nerve, have to have you, I'm looking for you everywhere. It's true, I like men too much. And when I see one in the street I used to know, starting to be bald, in a raincoat, eight years old, worry a lit fish swimming across his face. I could nearly wrap myself around him. I'm all too ready. But I'm sorry, it was for you I meant to do these things, for you to unbutton my blouse without a care. Not so difficult. Now the sun is tart, the river the very color of cold. November on her way to winter.

Health Care in Del Rio, TX
Val Verde Regional Medical Center and the Amistad Medical Professionals care for the Del Rio, TX community.
Serving Del Rio and the communities that surround it, Val Verde Regional Medical Center is the area's only full-service hospital. Del Rio also is home to the Amistad Medical Professionals, a group of eight specialty physicians that is part of VVRMC.
Val Verde Regional Medical Center
Open since 1959, VVRMC has 93 beds and is staffed by a team of 400 health-care professionals. The facility, which includes a level IV trauma center in its emergency department, provides hospice care, an intensive care unit, a special procedures unit, an imaging center and surgical services. In addition, a women's center with five labor/delivery/recovery rooms is on site for expectant mothers, as well as a 16-crib nursery with a postpartum area nearby.
Renovations are under way at VVRMC, with each of the medical surgical unit's patient rooms being transformed to private accommodations. The women's center also will receive a "facelift," according to Francine Piña, VVRMC's vice president of community service and hospitality.
"The renovations are another component to raise the bar in what our community deserves from this hospital and will give us the ability to offer amenities comparable to larger health-care systems," Piña says.
VVRMC's additional services include physical, occupational and speech therapies; wound care; respiratory therapy; and sleep disorder treatment. The medical center also operates the Val Verde Health Clinic, which is nearby and treats minor injuries and illnesses.
"Though VVRMC continues to renovate, expand in services, and advance in technology, its mission and commitment to serve the community has remained unchanged," Piña says.
Amistad Medical Professionals
VVRMC also includes the Amistad Medical Professionals, a group of physicians that recently grew by three members – Dr. Mark Manning, Dr. Jose Oviedo and Dr. Mostafa Salama – who previously worked with Shannon Health System at the Vista Verde Medical Plaza building. In early 2013, VVRMC purchased the facility, enabling patients to continue receiving care at the same location.
"VVRMC is proud to welcome these physicians to Amistad Medical Professionals and looks forward to adding other physicians to address the needs of our community," Piña says. "Our goal is to create the best possible outcome and patient care experience for the people we serve."
Currently, the eight-physician team specializes in psychiatry, orthopedic surgery, general surgery, cardiology, pediatrics, family medicine, and obstetrics and gynecology. Four mid-level providers, including nurse practitioners and physician's assistants, also are part of the Amistad Medical Professionals group.

For four straight hours on Sunday night, I thought I was hallucinating.
All the warning signs were there. A group of people were dancing inside a giant elephant suit. Then an enormous blue cupcake with eyes and legs ran onto a stage in front of 17,000 people at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Shanghai.
- Chinese giant Alibaba lists South Island destination on its travel service
- Riches to be made in Kiwi e-commerce
- Fonterra trials blockchain technology with Chinese shopping giant Alibaba
The hip hop ensemble in Victorian-era army regalia only confirmed matters. By the time Mickey Mouse arrived and a beautiful woman sung 'Let It Go' from Frozen in Chinese, I was convinced there was something in the complimentary bottle of Nongfu Spring on the desk.
When former supermodel Miranda Kerr walked and attempted to sing, I knew I had gone to a special place.
I was watching this enormously entertaining extravaganza on a screen roughly the size of a three storey building with 600 other journalists from the world.
All of it playing out in honour of the biggest shopping festival in the world - Alibaba's '11.11' - held every year on November 11, to celebrate the single people of the world.
The 24 hour shopping festival, which targets 800 million internet users in China, made a truly astronomical NZ$35 billion in sales last year
The scale is hard to comprehend. On last year's numbers, the equivalent of NZ$400,000 New Zealand dollars will pour in every second. Alibaba will tally NZ$121 million in the five minutes it takes you to read this story.
By comparison, Amercia's two biggest sale days, Black Friday and Cyber Monday, did NZ$4.4 billion and NZ$5.5 billion respectively last year.
Alibaba CEO Daniel Zhang founded the shopping phenomenon 10 years ago, jumping on the then little-known event 'Single's Day'. The unofficial holiday is a celebration of single people, a kind of anti-Valentine's Day uniting the millions of single people in China, affected by the Government's controversial 'one-child' policy.
On the first year, only a handful of brands were involved and the sale grossed just NZ$11.49 million. Since then it's widened its focus, offering discounts of up to 50 percent to the general public, involving 180,000 brands from 75 countries to 800 million Chinese internet consumers.
A small group of New Zealand companies are looking to cash in, offering special deals on things like milk and manuka honey for double 11.
Alibaba's New Zealand and Australia representative, Maggie Zhou, says there is now huge demand for high quality products from overseas.
"China today actually is transforming from 'Made in China' to 'Consume in China'," she said.
"Today in China there are 300 million middle class people and among that 100 million 'new middle class' and those people are young people... They love to explore more and want to buy more high quality products, especially from New Zealand."
Back at the Mercedes-Benz Arena, the anticipation was building throughout the night as the acts continued to roll on through.
Men donned giant inflatable suits and played a game of basketball. Mariah Carrey sung a medley in front of men in sparkly green suits.
Then, the moment - the clock struck midnight, and the world's biggest sale roared into the action in tune with the scream of the crowd.
The tally another apparent hallucination - sales reached US$1 billion (NZ$1.4 billion) in 85 seconds.

New captain Tim Paine borrowed a page from the world game's playbook as the Australian cricket team stopped sledging and started their mission to win back public support.
The cheating scandal and wide-ranging criticism of player behaviour prompted Cricket Australia to launch an independent review into team culture and conduct.
Paine, who became the nation's 46th Test skipper after Steve Smith's sacking, has already made some changes.
Australia were notably less nasty on day one of the fourth Test against South Africa as they tried to swap crass for class in Johannesburg.
There were no verbals or histrionics - in sharp contrast to the stoushes that have marred the previous three Tests.
There were also some pre-game handshakes between the rivals, a gesture Paine gleaned while watching soccer during a taxing week.
"They do that every game and I thought cricket is the gentleman's game," the wicketkeeper told reporters.
Green reaches century against New South Wales
'Superman catch' in the IPL
Jones given final MCG farewell
"I spoke to our players about how it was something I wanted to bring in.
"It's not something we are going to do every Test match, but ... if other teams want to do it, we'll do it to start every series.
"He (South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis) thought it was a good idea and who knows, maybe other sides and South Africa may start to use it as well.
"It's a good show of sportsmanship and respect."
There was plenty of that during a topsy-turvy day at the Wanderers, where both sides scrapped for the ascendancy but tempers never frayed.
Paine hoped the shift in tact could be the silver lining to the "dark cloud" that is the ball-tampering saga.
"We've had conversations and a lot of coffees with each other, talking about what we're going to to change," the Tasmanian said.
"We still want to keep a really competitive brand of cricket but I think there's times we've got to be more respectful of our opposition, more respectful of the game of cricket.
"At times we've tended to push the boundaries as far as we possibly could.
"We've seen that people probably don't like that, so it's time for us to change. We're happy to do that, I think it actually suits this group.
"We haven't got too many guys that like to verbalise and have that sort of really hard-nosed Australian approach."
Paine noted the change could help improve on-field performance.
"We're about creating an environment where guys can come in and play cricket and just be themselves," he said.
"If we can achieve that then we'll have guys having better results as well.
"There wasn't too much verbal (on Friday, but) ... it still felt like a Test match. It was still really competitive."
South Africa opener Aiden Markram, who scored 152, agreed and praised Paine for introducing pre-game handshakes.
"It was a great gesture, just to show everyone that there are people behind this cricket side and they have feelings," Markram said.
"The first three games there was a lot of chat on the field.
"Not so much of that today.
"But having said that, being out there and batting there was always pressure."

When four Ohio State seniors came together last year as a band, they decided to "full send" their psychedelic rock sound into the Columbus music scene.
Drummer Rami Wadih said that Fullsend started to form when he and guitarist Jack Loth were introduced through a mutual friend and began playing music together. The pair then added keyboardist and vocalist Austin Harsh — Wadih's roommate at the time — knowing he was a skilled keyboardist and singer.
"The pieces just kind of slowly came together and we were like, 'huh, we play together now, we should just start making music' so here we are," Harsh said.
The group started writing together and scored their first gig at an art gallery show. Still lacking a bassist, Wadih said he knew of bassist Alex Robinson because they had played together in the past and asked him to join the band a month later.
Wadih said Fullsend's real beginning was when they played their second gig where his roommate worked at local bar, Threes Above High. Loth said that show set their expectations high.
Fullsend released their first EP, "Monkey Funk," last Friday, Sept. 14, which consists of four songs that emulate their psychedelic rock sound.
"It's definitely very ambient, atmospheric but still defineitley rock," Loth said.
Robinson said the theme of "Monkey Funk" is exactly as its name implies.
"It's playfulness more so than chaos… playfulness and a certain lack of like human logic," Robinson said. "Monkeys have a little bit more like open-minded view."
Harsh said each band member is inspired by different genres such as jam bands, folk music, prague rock and metal, giving their sound a multidimensional edge.
"I think we all have such different influences that our overall sound is kind of like a certain type of conglomerate, like it's a mural of sorts," Robinson said.
Being a local band, Wadih said Columbus is ideal because the music scene is expanding due to its young-adult demographic and that they're genre stands out from what could be described as the "Columbus-scene niche," such as Hip-hop, rappers and indie bands.
Harsh said the Ohio State community also adds to their success as a Columbus-based band.
"Columbus is great because it's such a huge mass of people [and] you have Ohio State," Harsh said. "Obviously, college students are great consumers of music and everyone's looking for new stuff to see, everyones happy to go out and see you play so that's a great atmosphere to be in."
As for the future, Fullsend has more shows lined up and plans to begin working on a new project right away.
"Once the EP comes out we're pretty much immediately going to start working on another one," Wadih said. "We're ready to be done with this one."

OK, I'll put it out there. I'm a Toronto Blue Jays fan. So, as you can imagine, I'm pretty pumped about the upcoming MLB season. The prospect of seeing R.A. Dickey in a Jays uniform on April 2 against the Indians is something else. Excitement has been building since the offseason began. And I know baseball fans across the world will feel exactly the same as the first pitch of the new season draws closer.
And many will also be preparing their fantasy league teams. So we're pleased to say theScore App is on hand to help players stay on top of their roster throughout the season, so it's easier to justify cutting someone.

SHERBROOKE, Que. — Quebec MLA and media mogul Pierre Karl Peladeau won't be able to walk for three months after crashing his bicycle, doctors said Wednesday.
Peladeau fractured his ribs, shoulder and pelvis and suffered a "minor traumatic brain injury," physicians told a news conference Wednesday.
The 52-year-old MLA crashed his bike in Quebec's Eastern Townships on Sunday.
In a Facebook post, he said cyclists found him lying at the side of a road and called 911.
His ex-girlfriend, television host Julie Snyder, also posted to Facebook, writing that "happily, he was wearing a helmet, it saved his life."
Peladeau also posted a photo of himself lying in a hospital bed at CHUS hospital east of Montreal.
He was covered in bruises and scrapes, and will be in a wheelchair for an undetermined amount of time once he is discharged.
The crash is a major blow to the Parti Quebecois as the legislature resumes this week.
The PQ, decimated in the April 7 election, pegged Peladeau as its finance critic.

It's not everyday you come across a picture of Marilyn Monroe lifting weights in a bra. When you do, it's important to put a steesh on it.
Deion Sanders is of course very well known because he had successful careers in both the NFL and MLB. By successful I mean he played in both, but there's no way I'm going back to look at his numbers.
Deion is probably thankful for his years of practice multitasking. He's better able to do his job as a commentator for the NFL during the draft this weekend, while going through a messy divorce.
M.C. Gainey has been in an average of 5 shows/movies a year since 1981. With these numbers he is giving Anthony Anderson a run for his money. Let me list some of the highlights:
Designing Women
The Commish
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
The Mighty Ducks
Con Air
Nash Bridges
Walker, Texas Ranger
Are We There Yet?
Wild Hogs!!!!!!!
I didn't say any of the things he was in were great, but a number of them are watchable and I do enjoy his work/steesh.
Well, it appears one of our posts (Look-a-Like: Ned Flanders & Bryan Cranston) is on the front page of wordpress today. I woke up with a bunch of likes and comment emails, which was nice to see. I also saw one comment from a friendly guy with the username Fuckyermomma that said, "look nothing alike you blind bitch." Thanks, Fuckyermomma! Yer momma must be so proud of you.
But who really cares about all that, since we'll be back to our regular 100 views a day by this weekend. Here is a picture of Will Arnett with a mustache. If you're wondering why you've never seen this before, it's because it's from the almost certainly terrible movie Jonah Hex. Keep your head up, Hollywood. You'll get 'em next decade.

Foreign Investment in U.S. Real Estate (2010) & The Stats (Realtors Report)
The latest profile of international activity in the US housing market published by the National Association of Realtors has revealed many interesting figures, some surprising and some not so surprising.
The biggest finding for us was in the state by state breakdown of foreign purchases. According to the report, Florida (22%), California (12%), Arizona (11%) and Texas (7%) dominated in terms of the percentages of sales to foreigners this year.
It turns out that Florida has been dominant in foreign sales for at least the last 4 years, and that Arizona has always held second place during the same period. The strange thing is that the steps down in sales volume have been almost identical in Florida and Arizona in 2008, 2009 and this year. It is also worth mentioning that Texas saw more foreign buyers in 2008 and 2009, while Arizona has taken 3rd place this year, as it was in 2007.
The report also gives us a clear look at what nationalities are most prevalent in the US housing market:
While it is hardly surprising that Canadian's are dominant in the market with 28% (both because it is expected and because it is known from other reports), but Mexico has taken second place, knocking Brits into 3rd. the UK into third we now have Mexico in second place with 10% of sales, and the UK in 3rd with 9%.
This is because of a fall in the share of British buyers; Mexicans represented the same percentage (10%) of sales in 2009, while British buyers were responsible for 11% of sales.
Apart from that buyers from: China/Hong Kong (8%), Germany/France (7%), India (5%), Russia (3%) and Argentina/Brazil, were the most active in 2010.
Another interesting finding was the breakdown of percentages of foreign purchases by purchase price. During recent years we have heard a lot about prime property markets performing better than lower bands, but the NAR report has confirmed that this is not the case in the US.
According to the data: 46% of foreigner-involved sales in the US this year have been on properties costing less than $200k, 18% on properties $200-$500k, 6% on properties $500-$1million and $1million+.
This is a similar situation to last year, except properties under $200k held 37% of the market and $200k-$500k 26%. In fact it is strange that 2008, when the US market was already falling, is the only year in the last 4 years where properties of $200k-$500k held a larger share than those below $200k, at 26% and 25% respectively.
All in all the report contained few surprises, right down to the fact that most properties purchased by foreigners were cash-sales. None the less it is still good to get a look at how the market today compares with the last few years, and if anything the lack of differences between the market during the boom and during the bust is the biggest surprise. Anyone wanting to download the report can do so here.

Buckbee testifies before Transportation Committee
State Representative Bill Buckbee (R-67th) testified today before the Transportation Committee on two initiatives that will make a positive impact on the local community.
One proposal focused on bringing commuter rail back to New Milford and the other was concerning the registration of all motorized vehicles that operate on roadways.
"1971 was the last year that we had commuter rail in New Milford," Buckbee said. "Over the last decade, the state has invested over $4.6 billion to rail infrastructure. It's unfortunate that none of those dollars found their way to New Milford."
There would an influx of roughly 100 to 150 additional riders daily on the Greater Danbury Line if an extension was made to connect New Milford, according to Buckbee.
Riding the train would alleviate the congested I-84 corridor and lessen traffic flows on even smaller throughways, like Route 7, he said.
Additionally, studies have shown that younger generations prefer to utilize light rail in areas that it is available to them. State policy should mirror this social trend.
"We have freight cars that come through town, we should have access to commuter cars too," Buckbee said. "Outside of the daily hustle and bustle of the work week, the train would be viable on the weekends too, providing transportation to attractions like Mohawk Mountain Ski Area and Candlewood Lake, or a number of our great restaurants."
In addition to attracting people to visit New Milford, it's important that we keep everyone safe on our roadways.
"I am proposing that we utilize a state-wide task force to come up with a streamlined way in which we can license smaller, motorized vehicles that cross state roads," he said.
Right now, there are too many little mopeds, mini-bikes, go-karts, and smaller machines that are not registered but can cause some serious
damage to private property or other motorists," Buckbee said.
According to Rep. Buckbee, the state would actually gain revenue from the new registrations.
In addition, as a result of more vehicles being registered, there will be less litigation in our already overburdened courts.
"I believe if there is quality conversation among key stakeholders, this task force will be successful in bringing forth recommendations for subsequent legislatures," Buckbee concluded.
The Transportation Committee will review both bill proposals before taking additional action on them.
The next step would be for each bill to move to the House of Representatives, for its action.

The situation of children and women in Malawi
Facts and figures
Malawi remains one of the world's least developed countries, ranking 170 out of 188 on the Human Development Index. Over 70 per cent of the population live below the income poverty line and approximately 63 per cent of children live in poverty.
