The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.70% and the S&P 500 index SPX, +0.64% on Tuesday both closed at fresh all-time highs, supported by a rally in energy shares and stronger-than-expected earnings from Alcoa Inc.
The Dow industrials added 120.74 points, or 0.7%, to close at 18,347.67, marking its first record in about 14 months when it finished at 18,312.39 on May 19, 2015. The blue-chip gauge briefly hit an intraday best of 18,371.95.
Shares of Goldman Sachs Group Inc. GS, -0.18% and DuPont US:DD led the Dow higher, while Wal-Mart Stores Inc. WMT, +0.16% and Verizon Communications Inc. VZ, +1.37% weighed on the benchmark.
Meanwhile, the S&P 500, set a fresh record Tuesday after closing on at a record for the first time in nearly 14 months on Monday. The large-cap benchmark rose 14.98 points, or 0.7%, to end at 2,152.14. Energy shares led the gains, advancing 2.3%, as oil prices CLQ6, +0.00% settled up 4.6% at $46.80 a barrel.
Three of the S&P's 10 sectors finished in negative territory—utilities, consumer-staples and telecom, off 1.4%, 0.5% and 0.3% respectively. All three sectors traditionally are viewed as safety plays in times of market distress.
The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +0.91% advanced 34.18 points, or 0.7%, to end at 5,022.82, representing the index's first close in positive territory for 2016 with a 0.3% gain.
A stronger-than-expected second-quarter report from Alcoa Inc. AA, +1.99% —viewed as the unofficial launch of corporate-earnings season— engendered optimism on Wall Street, as investors continued to bask in the white-hot glow of Friday's solid nonfarm-payrolls report.
Friday's strong jobs number and an orderly transition in the U.K. in the wake of Brexit are calming markets, said Karyn Cavanaugh, senior market strategist at Voya Financial. U.K. Home Secretary Theresa May is expected to succeed David Cameron as prime minister on Wednesday, avoiding months of uncertainty in the wake of the Brexit vote.
"All the things we were worrying about haven't come to fruition," Cavanaugh said. She also held out hope that earnings season would be better than expected.

European and Asian markets also traded higher, and gold US:GCQ6 and the yen—traditional havens—retreated.
Some market participants pegged the multiday rally in equities to investors' inability to identify attractive alternatives in other corners of the market amid superlow interest rates.
"In this global record-low-interest-rate environment, where else will investors go?" said Mark Kepner, managing director of sales and trading at Themis Trading.
"A Federal Reserve on hold combined with a great jobs number," according to Kepner, was the right mix of conditions for a stock rally to emerge. And despite frothy stock valuations, "stocks actually look cheap relative to bonds," he said, as bond yields have tumbled to record lows and bond prices have spiked. Treasurys recovered somewhat on Tuesday but were still below their pre-Brexit levels.
On Tuesday, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard stuck with his view of a single interest rate increase until 2018, despite the strong rebound in U.S. job growth in June.
Still, many strategists and investors remained skeptical in the face of rare air for stocks, and said they need to see healthy corporate earnings underpin Wall Street's choppy ascent to all-time highs.
To gauge whether the rally is sustainable "there is only one element that can show whether stocks merit these valuations: earnings," said Kim Forrest, senior portfolio manager at Fort Pitt Capital.
Alcoa's strong earnings—which reported adjusted earnings per share of 15 cents, beating forecasts of 9 cents a share—was an example of such a strong performance, but "we need to see more companies begin saying they expect to see revenue and earnings growth," Forrest said.
"There could be a few more [earnings] surprises during the week given the strength of the U.S. economy. The country's economic data proved to be a lot stronger for the last quarter as compared with the previous one," said Naeem Aslam, chief market analyst at ThinkForex, in a research note.
Economic news: Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari hosts a town hall forum in Marquette, Mich., at 5:30 p.m. Eastern.
On the data front, a June reading on small-business optimism rose for a third straight month, but remained soft compared with its long-term average. And U.S. wholesale inventories inched higher in May as automobile stocks tumbled, suggesting inventory investment likely remained a drag on economic growth in the second quarter.
Movers and shakers: Fastenal Co. FAST, +0.34% reported an unexpected drop in second-quarter profit, sending shares to close down 3.5%.
Later this week, large banks like J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.45% Citigroup Inc. C, -0.28% and Wells Fargo & Co. WFC, -1.09% are slated to report.
Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, +0.75% shares reached an all-time high of $757.34 on the online retailer's Prime Day, before dipping 0.7% to close at $748.21. On Monday, Amazon nudged Berkshire Hathaway Inc. BRK.B, -1.67% out of the number 5 spot for market cap on the S&P 500.
Shares of Sage Therapeutics Inc. SAGE, +5.33% surged more than 37% after announcing positive phase-2 data for its treatment for patients with severe postpartum depression.
Seagate Technology PLC STX, +4.21% jumped 22% on Tuesday after the data-storage company late Monday said it would cut 6,500 jobs globally, which is about 14% of its workforce.
U.S.-listed shares of Shire PLC US:SHPG rose after U.S. health regulators approved its dry-eye treatment, a potential blockbuster drug that is expected to go on sale in the third quarter.
AMC Entertainment Holding Inc. AMC, +1.24% gained 7.3% after the company said it plans on buying Odeon & UCI Cinemas Group from private-equity firm Terra Firma, a deal valued at £921 million ($1.21 billion).

The Forum in London will be hosting the world DMC DJ finals on Saturday the 4th of October, which will set the best from the rest when it comes to cutting, scratching and doing other unbelievable things with a set of turntables.
Since the first competition in 1985, contenders have battled it out to become the best in the DMC business, with the likes of Mr. Switch, DJ Fly, DJ Rafiq, DJ Cash Money, DJ A-Trak and DJ Craze all having won the championship, some a number of times.
The prize for the winning DJ has traditionally been a pair of gold Technics 1210's, which have gone down in history as some of the most valuable turntables to have ever been made, with only a very few pairs in existence.
With a number of DMC Championships taking place all over the globe, the UK instalment is one of the highlights in the world calendar and will involve a number of workshops that will run alongside the main competition itself. With the nominees yet to be announced, the lost is still yet to be narrowed down, however a number of previous champions will be returning to battle it out once more, meaning things will definitely get exciting.

I am not busting myths by saying that Argentina is not the same team with and without Lionel Messi. The Albiceleste are currently experiencing a rather difficult qualifying campaign for the 2018 World Cup and lot of the blame goes to the absence of La Pulga. Argentina won three out of three games when the man from Barcelona was playing (Bolivia, Chile and Uruguay) and only one of the seven in which he was not present (Colombia, 4 draws and 2 defeats). Argentina have only scored 11 goals and besides Messi (2), defender Gabriel Mercado (2) is the only player to have scored more than one goal.

All (or at least a lot) statistics for Messi's first 500 career goals. He scored his 500th at the Camp Nou against Valencia on 17/4/2016.
Expected results Primera División Argentina (Fecha 13)
In this blog I give probabilities for games in the Argentine Primera División, show a predicted league table based on those probabilities and give a list of bets that corresponds to the given probabilities (note: you are free to use the 'tips', but I am not using them myself!).
I have replicated an existing prediction model and I am optimizing it for the Argentine league. The model is the so-called pi-ratings model by Constantinou and Fenton (2013). In this article they describe a system in which they assign probabilities to match outcomes (home win, draw or away win) based on historic results.
Primera División Argentina: betting tips and results (Fecha 11)
Based on the prediction model described here, you can find betting tips and results in this blog:
(Note: you are free to use the 'tips', but I am not using them myself!).
Primera División league analysis and predictions based on expected goals (Fecha 5)
Using this expected goals model and corresponding game maps I made a quick analysis of the games that have been played so far in the Argentine league. Expected goals are generally seen as a more reliable measure of a team's quality than goals or shots. As there are relatively few few goals in a match there is a high variability in the conversion over a short period. Shots on the other do not tell us much either as a shot from 35 meters out is different than a tap-in.
Expected goals maps
In this previous post I described my expected goals model for the Primera División (Argentina). Here I will quickly show some first examples of the resulting game maps:
Rosario Central – Newell's Old boys
This is an example of the xG map and corresponding information on the clásico of Rosario of last February 14th. As you can see on the pitch Rosario Central trashed their local rivales: they took a lot of shots, and the majority from very good locations.
Expected goals model Argentina
For the last couple of months I have been (slowly) working on an expected goals model for the Argentine league and I am very happy to finally present a first version here. I will explain the basics of the model here and I will also try to show some of the underlying numbers, something I haven't seen so much in posts from others.

Cyber-Violence against Women and Girls
Despite growing awareness of the proliferation of cyber-violence, there is little data on the true extent and impact of this phenomenon. For this reason, the Research Centre Human Rights of the University of Vienna, together with the victim protection organisation Weisser Ring, is carrying out a research project on cyber-violence against women and girls on behalf of the Federal Chancellery (BKA) and the Federal Ministry of Health and Women's Affairs (BMGF). In order to ensure a holistic approach to the research topic, and the integration of various perspectives, relevant actors will be involved throughout the project period.
The research project consists of two components: In the first part, a stock-taking study of women- and girl-specific cyber-violence in Austria will be carried out. This includes an analysis of the current legal landscape, as well as the collection of quantitative and qualitative data. The study will determine the extent and forms of cyber-violence affecting women and girls. It will also look into the effects of such attacks on those affected, as well as which strategies they develop to deal with this violence. In the second part of the project, based on the outcomes of this study, training courses for employees of victim protection institutions will be conceived, which will then be offered throughout Austria. The trainings are designed to support counsellors in providing the best possible care to those affected by cyber-violence.

The one we know and love and brought them to where they are now.
This is a pretty exciting time if you are a spaceship combat lover. Firestorm Armada is really taking off. There are several other games currently out and in development as well. Needless to say its going to be very rough on the wallet.

Hunter Estess of New Orleans has demonstrated time and time again that he has what it takes to succeed in the real estate industry.
One of the things you want to pay close attention to when selecting properties for real estate investing is the convenience of a location. Convenience may mean different things to different people. It may include schools, transportation, proximity to highways, shopping centers, churches and other amenities.
If you are looking to develop an office building, you should pay attention to the availability of future employees for the businesses that will become your tenants.
You always want to present the features of your properties and their locations as exclusive, as offering something that other properties don't have.
It is in the nature of people to want something that others want, but don't have. If you tell someone that the apartments in one of your buildings are not for sale, they will probably want to buy one even more—they may even chase you until you quote them a price. The simple statement that a property has features that other properties don't have, that there is a limited supply of something that people want, will create a desire to buy in some people.
It is a well-known fact that the success of any auction depends on the number of bidders and the emotional attachment of the bidders to the auction lots. Every plot of land, every property, and every building is unique in some way. All you have to do is to underline what's exclusive about it, just like Hunter Estess does, and more people will be interested in getting in on the deal.

It opens with the bluesy shuffle of On A Night Like This, where we find Bob still enjoying cosy coupledom in a remote cabin, with a roaring fire on the go and singing "If I'm not too far off, I think we did this once before". If I'm not too far off, I think they did, on To Be Alone With You back in 1969. It's a fun number, and the bit where he asks his missus not to elbow him because there's "plenty a-room for all" is a neat little flash of humour. Another fun, mostly light-hearted song is the funky Tough Mama, again seemingly in praise of his beloved wife, although it gets darker towards the end where he's crestfallen, having "..gained some recognition but I lost my appetite". And yes, you did hear him right, he does describe the weather as "a-hotter than a crotch"! Garth Hudson's organ sounds sweeter than ever, playing us out with a twisting fairground confection, and it's clear that Dylan and his old pals fit together as well as they ever did, completely in tune with one another in every sense. It has to be said though, that The Band feel a little reined in over the album; for one thing it lacks their backing vocals, which I feel is a bit of a shame. But although Dylan is clearly in the driving seat here, the guys are solid and they serve him well.
Something that holds Planet Waves back from being in the upper echelons of his discography so far in the BobBox (for me at least) is its pace. Most of the songs are either slow or mid-tempo, and as a result the album seems to proceed sluggishly. The heartfelt delivery of Hazel makes up for its rather cliched lyrics, even when Bob goes a little off-key. Something There Is About You is a lukewarm nostalgic love song made bittersweet by the confession that fidelity would surely mean death to him - charming! It's one of several songs that would have benefited greatly from a chorus, or at least a stronger melody; another downside of PW for me is its lack of tunes. If you asked me right now to hum, for example You Angel You, I really couldn't, despite having heard it countless times over the past week. Although the goddess-worshipping lyrics are giddy with infatuation and The Band play with an enjoyable sloppiness, it has a weak tune and Dylan sounds tired and unconvincing.
One big positive is that Bob's voice is better than ever; I'd even go so far as to describe it as magnificent. Neither overly nasal nor weirdly croony, it sounds particularly good (if a bit creaky) on Never Say Goodbye where he's almost pleading for his lover to stand by him. It's best of all on Going Going Gone, which represents the other, darker side of Planet Waves. Whether he's referring to his career, marriage (which was in its last months) or less likely, life itself, he seems to have reached the end of the road and is preparing to enter the unknown for the first time in a long while. Coming after the jaunty opener On A Night Like This, the pain and resignation in his voice is both shocking and beautiful, and is sensitively augmented by Robertson's devastatingly expressive guitar.
Equally superb is the best known song on the album, the much-covered Forever Young. This prayer-like song with its universal theme of a parent's hopes for his child manages to stay the right side of mawkishness; this and the fact that it has a tune AND a decent chorus has no doubt helped it to become the anthem it is now. During the recording sessions a visitor jokingly accused Dylan of turning "mushy" in his old age (he was 32!), and in an uncharacteristic confidence-wobble he recorded an alternative sub three-minute country rock version. He was convinced to keep the original one on the album too, so on the CD the newer version - which I hate - immediately follows the gorgeous, hymnal version, completely ruining any lingering sentiment. On the LP they would have been separated by the need to flip the record, mitigating this effect somewhat, but I still think he should have left the crappy second-rate version in the vaults.
We return to the dark side with Dirge, where Dylan takes to the piano to tear himself apart over his dependency on.... what? Whether it's fame, drugs, a lover or even love itself ("Can't recall a useful thing you ever did for me"), this is the sound of a man in pain, and the first sign of bile in several years. Like many of the songs here it lacks melody but Robertson's acoustic guitar is enough to support Bob's playing and deeply disturbing, sometimes clumsy words so that it sticks firmly in my head.
'Dirge' means 'funeral song', and the album closer, at first glance the other side of the coin, is called Wedding Song. Bob appears solo, accompanied by his harmonica, guitar and the sound of his coats buttons clacking against it. Clearly about Sara (he makes mention of their many years together and their children) he sings of his devotion and debt to her in no uncertain terms, e.g. "Love you more than life itself", "..made my life a richer one to live". But there's more going on here the further we listen. Halfway through, the line "I'd sacrifice the world for you and watch my senses die" , and then "We'll play it out the best we know, whatever it is worth" make the preceding words sound like a desperate attempt at holding together a failing relationship, no matter the consequences. It's a sad way to end a rather unsatisfying album, but at the same time it's one of the best songs.
Planet Waves is preoccupied with two conflicting sides of love. The comfortable, comforting bubble of his family life and his deep love and commitment to his wife inform most of the album, but dissatisfaction is beginning to creep in and it seems that something is about to give. Perhaps this period of writing/recording in preparation for the tour brought on a desire to get on the road and extend himself again after his long hibernation period. Whatever was happening in his personal life, this album shows signs of his edge beginning to return, which after the happy-but-dumb country period will come as a welcome change.
Are you a fan of Planet Waves? Let me know how you feel about it in the comments below.
Next in the Box is the live album Before The Flood, recorded during the '74 tour. I've been perusing the tracklist and no songs from Planet Waves made the cut - I read that as the tour progressed, more and more of its songs were dropped from the setlist. After the fairly tune-free PW I'm very much looking forward to listening to the first live album to be included in the BobBox.

From Bergeron, La. Confed. Units, 75-76:
"This regiment was organized May 11, 1861, at Camp Walker, New Orleans, with 1,013 men. Ordered to Richmond, Virginia, the regiment moved from there to Yorktown and helped to build earthwork defenses near the town. After several months at Yorktown, the men went to Williamsburg and again erected fortifications. The regiment spent the winter in the Yorktown area. On April 16, 1862, the enemy attacked the regiment's position at Dam No. 1, or Lee's Mill, and drove part of the regiment from its rifle pits. Companies A and C participated in a bayonet charge, which drove he enemy back. The regiment served in General Howell Cobb's brigade during the Seven Days' Battles near Richmond but saw no fighting until July 1 at Malvern Hill. In that battle, the colonel and the major both fell, and the regiment's casualties totaled 182 men killed or wounded. On July 26, the regiment joined a brigade that included the 1st, 9th, 10th, and 15th Louisiana regiments and Coppens' Zouave Battalion. After being lightly engaged at Cedar Mountain, August 9, the regiment saw heavy fighting at the Battle of 2nd Manassas, August 28-30; nearly 130 men were killed or wounded. The men participated in the capture of Harper's Ferry, September 14, and fought in the Battle of Sharpsburg, September 17. At the Battle of Fredericksburg, December 13, the regiment saw only light skirmishing. With its brigade, the regiment participated in General Stonewall Jackson's famous assault at Chancellorsville, May 2, 1863, and lost more than 100 men. The regiment fought in the Battle of Winchester, June 15, and, with the 10th Louisiana Infantry, captured about 1,000 enemy prisoners. On July 2 and 3, the regiment participated in the attack on Culp's Hill during the Battle of Gettysburg. The men fought in the Bristoe Station Campaign, October 9-22, and the Mine Run Campaign, November 26-December 2, but suffered few casualties. After the regiment fought in the Battle of the Wilderness, May 5, 1864, its position was overrun at Spotsylvania, May 12, and its flag fell into enemy hands. From Spotsylvania, the regiment went with its brigade into the Shenandoah Valley. During General Jubal Early's advance toward Washington, D.C, the regiment fought in the Battle of Monocracy, July 9. Later, the men participated in the battles of Winchester, September 19; Fisher's Hill, September 21-22; and Cedar Creek, October 19. Returning to the Army of Northern Virginia at Petersburg, the regiment served through the siege of that place during the winter of 1864 and early spring of 1865. When the regiment surrendered at Appomattox Court House, only 3 officers and 41 men were present to sign paroles. Approximately 1,297 men served in the regiment. During the war, 218 men were killed, 181 died of disease, and 4 died in accidents. Approximately 88 men deserted during the war."

Their demeanor is charming and this makes them alluring and loved by those around them. They have the ability to express themselves in a bold manner and also have a streak of competitiveness. Their leadership qualities give them the ability to handle the toughest of situations with great ease.
People born in the year 1974 love to face challenges and would prefer to face them alone rather than with someone's help. They have authoritative nature and hate taking orders or obeying others. They make healthy individuals and their love for sports is an inborn quality. They hardly succumb to minor ailments and their energy levels are naturally high. Their leadership qualities give them success in a number of careers, like those in fields of management, acting, writing, aviation and advertising.
In relationships, these people tend to occupy a dominant role. Communication skills are exactly not their forte and this makes them bad at social interactions. They are not good at making friends because they can be very stubborn and even dominating. Romance is not their strength and they seek such partners who share their love for adventure.

Sometimes a room takes years to figure out what it wants to be when it grows up. We have just such a room. Years ago, we added an attached garage to our home, and used the space above to build two additional rooms. One room is the exercise room, and it is happy with its career choice, even though sometimes it doubles as a clothes dryer.
The media room, however, has never been completely right. We have a built in shelving system to hold the cable box, AV receiver, DVD player, etc. and the room is wired for seven channel surround sound. We painted the walls a dark color, to enhance the mood for watching movies. We planned to put the large television up here, and only keep a small t.v. in the main house for watching the news, etc. We tried, and for a time we really did remove ourselves to the media room each night after dinner to watch in comfort and immerse ourselves in sound.
As time went on, there were more and more nights when we just didn't move from the living room after dinner. It was much easier to let the dogs outside from the living room. Lightning struck more than once and ruined the cable box, and then the sub-woofer. We gave into temptation and bought a nicer television for the living room. This was during the time when the large tube technology was making way for the new flat screen televisions. The media room had a huge Sony television weighing hundreds of pounds. In the living room we now had a flat screen HDTV. We put surround sound in the living room too.
For a time, the media room became a game room. Our son would have friends sleep over, and they would do sleeping bags on the floor in the media room. That huge tv had a front video input, so the kids would bring their gaming systems and play all night. Do you know why they call it a bonus room? Because the bonus for us was that the room was in a completely separate wing of the house and we couldn't hear all the noise!
Kids grow up and stop having sleepovers, so the room was used less and less. Periodically, my husband Karl would go up there and put music on. He could sit in his chair in the middle of the room and enjoy the surround sound and solitude. But he was only up there a few times a year for music. I used the floor to baste some quilts, and to block a quilt. But the room was not being used much at all.
When I decided to buy a longarm, we measured my sewing room and determined that a longarm would fit, but everything else would have to go. Not good. We measured the master bedroom, and everything would fit in there, but that was a sacrifice I wasn't willing to make. Then we measured the media room and sure enough, the longarm will fit. I expect there will be a story about getting the pieces up there, what with the 90 degree angle on the stairway.
Once the decision was made, Karl gave way gracefully and really embraced the idea of my new business. So I decided to paint! Here is the old color (yellow):
And here are some photos of the room in progress:
You see that TV? That is the one from the living room that usurped the big Sony's place in our hearts. Now it is banished to the longarm studio where it will serve the purpose of playing quilting DVDs for me to learn from.
Next up…a new 4 foot daylight fluorescent light fixture. I'll post an update when the room is done and the light fixture is in place. For now, I need to go check on Karl's progress with the paint.

ESN meets the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz
Last April 22nd, the three delegations of ESN Pisa, Siena and Florence had the pleasure to meet the President of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, during the event when he received the Honoris Causa Degree from the University for Foreigners of Siena.
The event, which took place in the morning, was inaugurated with a Laudatio by Professor Moretti, who outlined Martin Schulz's profile -both political and moral- highlighting his passion and strong pro-Europe feelings that distinguish his everyday work in the institutions. Later, the Professor reminded the audience that the President had been working -since he was young- in a bookshop in a little town near Aachen, growing the passion for culture that he still nourishes when he's not in Brussels or Strasbourg.
Shortly afterwards, Schulz gave an unforgettable Lectio Magistralis, actively followed by the people there, also with a passionate live twitting. He highlighted the importance of dialogue -especially in different languages- recalling the case he defined as an 'ambassador of intercultural dialogue': Giulio Regeni, whose assassination shocked everyone, especially the German politician.
Mattia Sibra, the ESN Pisa President, asked two questions, drawing the attention on two important issues: the Schengen Convention and the Intelligence. Regarding the first question, Schulz reassured "The convention won't end, as its abolition would implicate invaluable costs that not even the most Euro-sceptic Countries would face. The suspension is provided for by some clauses of the Convention, to be applied in special circumstances." Furthermore, the President has invited the Member States to intensify controls at the external EU borders, rather than the internal ones, referring to the Austrian intention to build a wall for the Brenner Pass.
Concerning the second question, Schulz remembered the importance of information sharing by the intelligence services among the EU Countries, which refuse to strictly cooperate due to their selfishness and fear for giving up national sovereignty. Visibly moved, the President highlighted that one of the consequences was the Brussels terrorist attack, in which 35 people were killed exactly one month before. The national police of different Countries are reluctant to collaborate and Europol does not have much room for manoeuvre, obstructing the preventative measures that are really important in a context where radicalism and terrorism are irrefutably real.
In conclusion, it was an intense and educational day. Schulz underlined the importance of the associations, also from a strictly Europeanist point of view, and he thanked us for our compromise for a greater European integration, realized through a process that everyone can join and in which everyone can give a contribution. "The Erasmus programs have eliminated cultural barriers between Countries," -he said looking at us in the eyes- "you probably are the most educated generation ever".
Vielen dank, Herr Schulz!

Back to 2010: England's New CDF To Go Ahead
This article was originally published in Scrip
Executive Summary
England's new Cancer Drugs Fund is to go ahead with little change to proposals that have proved unpopular with companies. The Association of the British Pharmaceutical Industry says the new system will take patients and companies back to the situation in 2010 before the CDF was set up and that two thirds of CDF-financed drugs will be unavailable by the end of the year. Eisai has slammed the new fund, warning that drugs approved after the CDF closed its doors to funding new products will float in limbo with no clear means of getting to patients.

A New Spirit of Communication
By Tania Noriz
On August 22, 1975, 42 years ago, the first issue of Atención San Miguel was published, (after La Biblioteca had published a weekly by the name of This Week in San Miguel for three months). Over these 42 years, the news that has told the story of our town has appeared in the pages of Atención, from the crowning of queens of the fiestas patrias, to fires and floods, and articles about art, community, culture, and opinion that continue to be published to this day.
Through these doors have passed many tireless and dedicated characters who made this weekly one of the most beloved and controversial; we know that we are not perfect and that we generate a lot of passion for and against.
Thanks to these editors, collaborators, contributors, volunteers, and staff members, those of us who now work in this office have learned a lot about the journalistic profession and from them we inherit the objectivity, accuracy, and sense of community with which we work, and the deep respect and affection that we feel for our publisher, La Biblioteca.
Someone once said, "The editorial content that Atención publishes is generally mundane, and often sycophantic. Roughly 80 percent of editorial content is generated by volunteer contributors who are free to promote virtually any self-interest." However, for me, therein lies the essence and importance of our newspaper, because Atención gives voice to the community, (mundane or not mundane) so that voice can be read every Friday without fail.
Today we celebrate 42 years of dedication to our readers, to whom we reiterate our commitment to fulfilling our mission, which is to inform always with openness, fairness and responsibility.
I know of few things that provoke such passion as our newspaper, Atención San Miguel. 42 years ago, this weekly emerged from a need to know what to do and where to go in this city, and it has become a necessity. Just take a walk on a Friday morning to the Jardín to see what I'm talking about: from the early hours, men and women, mostly expats, sit on the benches in the Jardín enjoying life in this magical town and their copy of Atención. In La Biblioteca's Café Santa Ana, the tables are filled Friday mornings with readers buzzing over the news and their cappuccinos.
Some buy it due to inertia, others for interest, others for gossip, and others to criticize—because yes, there are such kinds of readers. They may think the articles are dull or the same as always, or find an error, or that we don't publish the truth, or that we favor the government (with whom we don't have any interests involved, by the way) or wonder why we aren't like The New York Times. And it does not end there, because those unbridled passions generated by our newspaper are taken to another level: the Civil List. Some members of the Civil List enjoy fighting a bloody battle, in favor and against, to the last consequences. "Why hasn't the editor been fired?" "Oh no! Don't you see that is the best editor our newspaper could have?"
Our newspaper…Atención is ours, everybody's; it belongs to the community, for the community. Some say Mexicans don't read it. I say yes they do, and they also advertise. By advertising with us they help to keep the newspaper alive, as well, La Biblioteca. That is another thing that almost no one knows, or does not want to know, or prefers to ignore. There may be a perception that Atención is a successful business that doesn't need any help and that whoever works here, becomes incredibly rich.
Atención is published by La Biblioteca. La Biblioteca is an NGO that provides scholarships and educational and cultural programs for the children and youth of San Miguel who do not have easy access to books and education. Unlike other NGOs, La Biblioteca does not receive financial support from the government or other institutions; so its good works continue thanks to generous donations from the community (that year after year are more infrequent); the building bailment from INDAABIN (the federal office that allows us to use this building); and revenues generated by the enterprises created within La Biblioteca such as the House and Garden Tour, La Bodega de Sorpresa, the Café Santa Ana, Teatro Santa Ana, and Atención. Absolutely every peso in profits earned through the newspaper and advertising sales translates into scholarships and books for the community. In that way our dear readers and advertisers become promoters of education for the children and youth, fulfilling the dream of Constance Moore, the first editor of Atención, which was that "these pages will be not only of practical, everyday helpfulness…but that also in some small way they may engender a new spirit of communication and cooperation among the residents of this lovely town."
Atención appreciates the hard work and dedication of all its editors, assistant editors, reporters, photographers, designers, administrators, receptionists, salespeople, copy editors, volunteers, contributors, distributors; and of course, its advertisers and readers—all members of this great team that for 42 years has collaborated to publish in its pages almost half a century of history of San Miguel, at the same time contributing to the community.
Thank you.

Notable New Release: The Air He Breathes by Brittainy C. Cherry

We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays. Then perhaps we could finally remember how to … [Read more...]
