A manager was soliciting resumes through a recruitment agency to fill in a senior staff member who had just resigned. The next day the recruitment agent came in to meet the manager and beaming he handed over a resume and said, "M'am, we have got just the right person you are looking for. The manager after skimming through the resume was visibly upset. Puzzled, the recruitment agent enquired what the matter was. The manager replied, "This candidate on the resume is the best we've got in our department".

Bill attended a party where he met an old acquaintance, Hello, Sam, he said. Hows your clothing business? I heard you lost a lot on that fall shipment of dresses.
Thats right, Sam responded.
And you almost went bankrupt.
Thats true too.
But I understand you made a big profit on another shipment and wound up having a pretty good season after all.
Thats correct. Then I guess you heard all about it, Bill.

Jim, a collections specialist, was on his first day of work for his new employer and was assigned to collect a past due balance from a company that was a customer of his employer. He had been provided with a standard script that he was to use where he was to ask for "Accounts Payable" when calling the customer so that he could talk with someone about the payment of the past due bill.He made the call, asked the receptionist for "Accounts Payable", and waited for what seemed to be forever on hold. Finally, after a very long time, the receptionist, who was also on her first day on the job and new to the world of business, came back on the phone and stated, "I am sorry, but I have looked down our list of employees and I do not find anyone named Accounts Payable."

(Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)Major League Baseball commissioner Bud Selig said Tuesday that he was proud of the league's investigation into the anti-aging clinic Biogenesis, which allegedly provided players with performance-enhancing drugs, according to tweets by The Los Angeles Times' Bill Shaikin.The Miami New Times first reported that the South Florida clinic provided PEDs to players. Those implicated, including Alex Rodriguez and Ryan Braun, have denied the allegations, but MLB's investigation is expected to result in significant suspensions.Tony Bosch, the owner of the now-closed clinic, reportedly agreed to cooperate with the league. A report from ESPN's Outside the Lines said that officials could suspend around 20 players, including Rodriguez and Braun, after the All-Star break. Shaikin reported on Twitter that it's unlikely those suspensions would be announced this week.Selig: "The only thing I can say about the investigation is it's thorough, it's comprehensive and it's aggressive. I'm proud of it."— Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) July 16, 2013Rodriguez's lawyer last month called the investigation "despicable" and said the evidence the league acquired was "tainted.""The conduct of Major League Baseball with the Tony Bosch investigation is despicable, unethical and potentially illegal," David Cornwell told USA TODAY. "Paying for evidence. Offering to pay for evidence. Intimidating witnesses. One thing we know: that evidence is unreliable. "Major League Baseball Players Association president Michael Weiner said Tuesday that because the investigation falls outside the league's drug testing policy, the penalties aren't governed by the normal rules. Weiner suggested that as a result, the investigation and appeals process could last months longer.JAFFE: All-Star Game PreviewLast week, the MLBPA criticized leaks in the case. The MLBPA's initial statement was read by many as implicating the league, and the group later added a second statement clarifying that it wasn't accusing MLB officials of leaking information to the media.Selig denied the league's involvement on Tuesday.Selig on Biogenesis reports: "The leaks do not come from us."— Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) July 16, 2013Selig: "There's nobody more unhappy with the leaks than me." — Bill Shaikin (@BillShaikin) July 16, 2013 Promoted Stories Comments

Company Overview of Quanterix Corporation
Company Overview
Quanterix Corporation develops and provides ultra-sensitive diagnostic platform for measuring individual proteins. The company offers Single Molecule Array technology that enables the detection and quantification of biomarkers in life science research, in-vitro diagnostics, companion diagnostics, blood screening, and more; assay kits; and consumables. Its products are used in life science research, oncology, neurology, inflammatory disease, and infectious disease applications. Quanterix Corporation was formerly known as Digital Genomics Inc. and changed its name to Quanterix Corporation in August 2007. The company was founded in 2007 and is based in Lexington, Massachusetts.

Key Executives for Quanterix Corporation
Quanterix Corporation Key Developments
Quanterix Corporation is planning to go public through initial public offering (IPO). Quanterix have begun conversations with investors on plotting an IPO. Kevin Hrusovsky, Chief Executive Officer of Quanterix said, "We'll be doing that as part of our build out to become a public company. I would predict that we'll be ready to do an IPO as early as early next year."
Quanterix Corporation announced commercial availability of its multiplex panels, providing users with the ability to develop their own multiplex assays using the company's ultra-sensitive Simoa technology. This allows users to achieve similar sensitivity with each marker in a multiplex panel as they would if they were to test individual assays. The company has also developed a convenient multiplex homebrew kit, allowing customers to use their own antibody pairs to develop custom multiplex Simoa panels, providing unlimited flexibility and significant cost savings. Researchers and clinicians want the ability to test for several different biomarkers on a small sample, making it possible to consider alternative, less invasive samples than the traditional blood test. The company's menu of Simoa assay kits has been growing rapidly and has now reached 30 assays, including markers for oncology, cardiology, neurology, infectious disease and inflammatory disease, all of which allow researchers to measure the associated biomarkers at levels that were impossible to measure until now. The first commercially available multiplex kits are 3-plex panels of cytokines, which are very useful for measuring inflammatory response across a wide range of conditions. These new panels are composed of individual cytokines that have been most popular with Simoa customers over the past year in singleplex format. The normal healthy range for many cytokines is close to the limit of detection of conventional immunoassay measurement techniques. Because of this, the sensitivity provided by Simoa allows researchers to measure both healthy and sick subjects with confidence, leading to a significant increase in demand for Simoa cytokine assays over the past year.
Quanterix Corporation announced it has appointed SCRUM Inc. as an exclusive distributor for sales and support of its Simoa technology for the research market in Japan.

Overseas feeding frenzy: Growing export demand and rising prices will stimulate revenue growth
IBISWorld's Farm Animal Feed Production market research report offers insightful industry analysis and research into the market at the national level. IBISWorld's in-depth industry market research is presented in a logical and consistent format. The industry report contains key industry statistics, market size, industry trends, and growth and profit forecasts for a 5-year outlook period.
The Farm Animal Feed Production industry's prospects have fluctuated over the past five year period alongside dramatic spikes in feed prices as well as increased demand from downstream farms supplies wholesalers. Global population growth and expansion of developing economies have boosted demand for meat, requiring greater supplies of feed to match growing production. At the same time, a severe drought caused commodity prices to increase dramatically in 2012. During the five years to 2019, IBISWorld forecasts industry revenue to increase. The emergence of a middle-class in developing countries around the world has increased demand for meat products.... purchase to read more
The Farm Animal Feed Production industry manufactures livestock feeds, which can consist of soybean, corn, linseed and sunflower meals; wheat bran; oat hulls; and alfalfa meals and pellets, among other inputs. Ingredients of feed vary depending on the end-use. Livestock does not adapt well to changes in their diet, so downstream farmers typically maintain strict controls over the feed components. Alternatively, ranchers have the option to feed cattle with a mix of naturally growing grass and nutritional supplements. In addition, livestock owners sometimes generate and process their own feeds or use regional supply chains that cut out major players... purchase to read more
This industry includes animal feed manufacturers that make food for livestock. Producers use remnants of flour milling, sugar production and other food processing as ingredient inputs to animal feed.

Video: NYPD, FDNY brawl during hockey charity game
The NYPD and FDNY both declined to comment on the brawl Monday
By Laura Figueroa
LONG ISLAND — A charity hockey game between New York City police and firefighters at the Nassau Coliseum erupted into a brawl on the ice Sunday.
In videos posted on YouTube and Instagram, players from both teams are seen clearing the bench, throwing punches and shoving one another as hockey sticks and gloves are left scattered on the ice.
The NYPD and FDNY both declined to comment on the brawl Monday.
Union officials also did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
In a YouTube video, riled-up fans are heard chanting slurs about the police.
The video recordings show the melee occurred during the second period of the match, as the teams were tied 3-3. Referees are seen struggling to break up the brawl.
The game continued after the fight and the NYPD won 8-5. It was the NYPD's first victory after five straight wins by the firefighters.
The FDNY Hockey team's Facebook page bills the event, which started at 1 p.m., as a match between New York's "Finest and Bravest."
By Sunday evening, a YouTube video had been viewed nearly 55,000 times.
Fans in stands recorded the brawl between the New York City police and firefighters, uploading the videos onto their YouTube and Instagram accounts.

The bachelor cop itched to make his collar--then make tracks. But gutsy Rebecca and her two cuddly kids drew him like a magnet to metal. Burning desire had Jake losing his cool, even though peril stalked the Texas night...only one mistake, one bullet, one heartbeat away....

Creating scenarios of the impact of copd and their relationship to copd assessment test (CAT™) scores
1 Division of Clinical Science, St. George's University of London, London, UK
2 Global Health Outcomes, GlaxoSmithKline, London, UK
3 Center for Health Outcomes Research, United Biosource Corporation, Bethesda, MD, USA
BMC Pulmonary Medicine 2011, 11:42 doi:10.1186/1471-2466-11-42Published: 11 August 2011
The COPD Assessment Test (CAT™) is a new short health status measure for routine use. New questionnaires require reference points so that users can understand the scores; descriptive scenarios are one way of doing this. A novel method of creating scenarios is described.
A Bland and Altman plot showed a consistent relationship between CAT scores and scores obtained with the St George's Respiratory Questionnaire for COPD (SGRQ-C) permitting a direct mapping process between CAT and SGRQ items. The severity associated with each CAT item was calculated using a probabilistic model and expressed in logits (log odds of a patient of given severity affirming that item 50% of the time). Severity estimates for SGRQ-C items in logits were also available, allowing direct comparisons with CAT items. CAT scores were categorised into Low, Medium, High and Very High Impact. SGRQ items of corresponding severity were used to create scenarios associated with each category.
Each CAT category was associated with a scenario comprising 12 to 16 SGRQ-C items. A severity 'ladder' associating CAT scores with exemplar health status effects was also created. Items associated with 'Low' and 'Medium' Impact appeared to be subjectively quite severe in terms of their effect on daily life.
These scenarios provide users of the CAT with a good sense of the health impact associated with different scores. More generally they provide a surprising insight into the severity of the effects of COPD, even in patients with apparently mild-moderate health status impact.

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago College of Medicine have discovered how a protein modulates the inflammatory response in sudden, life-threatening lung failure. The protein's previously unknown role is reported in the August issue of Nature Medicine.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome, or ARDS, is an often fatal complication of severe traumatic injury, bacterial infections, blood transfusions and overdoses of some medications. In ARDS, the lungs become swollen with fluid and breathing becomes impossible. Thirty percent to 40 percent of patients die. There is no effective treatment.
Sepsis, an overwhelming bacterial infection of the blood and organs, is the most common cause of ARDS. When the immune system responds to the infection, molecules called inflammatory cytokines and chemokines are released. These molecules attract inflammatory white blood cells and destroy bacteria, but also lead to fever, swelling and other symptoms of shock and can wreak havoc on the patient in the course of fighting off the infection.
"Without an inflammatory response, bacterial invaders in the lungs can kill, but too intense a response can also be fatal," said Kurt Bachmaier, UIC research assistant professor in pharmacology and first author of the study. "We need a better understanding of how the immune system modulates this defense so that we can understand what goes wrong in life-threatening lung failure."
The researchers created a mouse model that lacks the gene for a protein, called Cblb, which was known to play a crucial role in chronic inflammation and auto-immunity through regulation of T- and B-cells.
When sepsis was induced in mice with and without the Cblb gene, there was a marked difference in the level of the inflammatory response and survival. Mice lacking the Cblb gene were much less likely to survive than control mice.
The UIC researchers were able to show how Cblb regulates the immune res

WASHINGTON (AP) - This year's primaries, the 2008 primaries, the General Services Administration scandal, even the Secret Service and Donald Trump were targets for President Barack Obama's scattershot humor at Saturday night's celebrity studded White House Correspondents Dinner.
Even the entrance to his speech was part of his schtick. The president walked off stage just before he took the podium with an alleged "hot mic," making fun of getting caught last month on an open microphone with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev.
"What am I doing here," he asks off stage. "I'm opening for Jimmy Kimmel and telling knock-knock jokes to Kim Kardashian."
Once on stage, the president revisited last year's dinner, which took place as Navy SEALS were dispatched to capture and kill Osama bin Laden.
"Last year at this time, this very weekend, we finally delivered justice to one of the world's most notorious individuals," Obama said. Then a picture of real estate mogul Donald Trump appeared on the room's television monitors. The president last year delivered a scathing roast of Trump, who flirted with running for the Republican nomination and claimed he had solved the "mystery" of Obama's birth certificate.
Obama also took a shot at the Republican congressional leadership, whom he thanked "for taking time from their exhausting schedule of not passing any laws" to attend the dinner.
Four years ago, Obama recalled, he was locked in a tough primary fight with Hillary Rodham Clinton, now his secretary of state. "She can't stop drunk texting me from Cartagena," he said, referring to their recent trip to the Summit of the Americas in Colombia, where Clinton was photographed drinking a beer and dancing.
This year, Obama is the incumbent, but the dinner was far from a campaign-free zone. The president pointed out his similarities with the presumed Republican nominee, Mitt Romney.
"We both think of our wives as our better halves, and the American people agree to an insulting extent," the president said.
"We both have degrees from Harvard. I have one, he has two. What a snob."
The crack drew a thumbs up from former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who was in the audience. Santorum dropped out of the presidential primary campaign earlier this month. He had called Obama a snob for encouraging young Americans to attend college.
But Obama touched on serious themes as well, remembering The New York Times' Anthony Shadid and Marie Colvin of the Sunday Times of London who died while covering the uprising in Syria.
"Never forget that our country depends on you to help protect our freedom, our democracy and our way of life," Obama said.
Then he returned to the lighter side: "I have to get the Secret Service home in time for their new curfew."
Kimmel, the night's featured entertainer, picked up on the Secret Service prostitution scandal in Colombia, saying he told the Secret Service that for $800 he wouldn't joke about them, "but they only offered 30."

Top 5 inkjet printers
Inkjet printers have evolved far beyond home and student use; our top-ranked models are fast, full-featured office workhorses that compete well with the lowest-cost color lasers -- even on cost per page
Ranging from $100 to $230, these inkjet printers from Canon, Epson, and HP differ in speed, print quality, paper capacity, and features. In addition to whether you need Wi-Fi or wired Ethernet or just USB, consider whether you'll sacrifice print quality for print speed. Also consider how much you're willing to spend on ink: costs per four-color page range from about 7 cents to nearly 20. Most of all, think about where print quality is most important for you: text, graphics, landscape photos, or photos of people. You can't have it all.

UPDATED: Payment may finally close door on long-running investigation of largest independent ad network.
ValueClick's long-awaited settlement with the Federal Trade Commission has finally come to pass. The firm announced today it agreed to cough up $2.9 million to the commission as a result of the FTC's investigation into lead generation ad practices alleged to have violated the CAN-SPAM and FTC Acts. The company also released its Q4 2007 and full year 2007 earnings today, noting net income for the fourth quarter ending December 31, 2007 was $18.1 million.
ValueClick recorded the $2.9 million charge related to the settlement in Q4 '07. The settlement involved only past practices of ValueClick's Hi-Speed Media division and no other practices or units, the firm said. During its earnings call, executives noted the settlement is "awaiting approval from the Department of Justice and the presiding court."
As a result of the settlement, the firm must adopt new standards for disclosure on lead generation ad landing pages and in e-mail marketing copy. "We believe these standards will set guidelines for the entire industry," said CEO Tom Vadnais. "It's not going to take us much time to get fully up and running with them," he added.
"The question is what will happen now that the FTC decision is behind us... and we just don't know," said Vadnais. He went on to add the impact of the settlement on ValueClick's lead gen business and future revenues is "still somewhat in a preliminary state," and somewhat dependent on approval of the settlement by the DOJ and presiding court.
The company cited strong growth in U.S. and U.K. display ad revenues in Q4 2007; however, that growth was tempered by a decline in lead generation ad dollars. The firm expects continued strength in display ad revenues in the coming year.
In addition, the company announced the resignation of Chief Administrative Officer Sam Paisley, who will depart as of March 2. Paisley will be joining local video ad firm Spot Runner as CFO.
According to ValueClick, executive chairman James Zarley will continue running corporate development while VP of Investor Relations Gary Fuges and Vadnais will continue handling the firm's investor relations program. CFO John Pitstick will also join the investor relations team.
The fresh FTC settlement may draw renewed interest in ValueClick from acquisitive suitors, coming as it does against the backdrop of Microsoft's recent bid for Yahoo and industry consolidation in general. ValueClick is the largest remaining independent ad network. Alluding to Microsoft's bid for Yahoo, Vadnais said, "We really don't see that it has much of an impact for us," suggesting the potential acquisition deals primarily with paid search, which is outside of ValueClick's business.
Still, many industry watchers have recognized Microsoft's grab for Yahoo as one very much aimed at boosting both companies' display ad businesses.

Yesterday, I wrote a blog post describing a FERC order that, for the first time ever, would have allowed an interstate oil pipeline to grant preferential rates and capacity rights to shippers making volume commitments through an open season process conducted outside the context of a pipeline project.
FERC's order is also noteworthy for the general guidance it provides with respect to the confidentiality agreements and "duty to support clauses" that pipelines routinely employ in their open season processes and transportation agreements.
First, the FERC order recognizes the need for confidentiality agreements during an open season to protect the pipeline from the competitive harm that would result from the disclosure of rates, discounts, and contract terms being discussed, but states that confidentiality agreements are to be "narrowly tailored and should not prevent potential shippers from bringing to the FERC's attention issues arising from the open season or proposed contract provisions that may conflict with applicable law, precedent or policy."
Second, as to "duty to support clauses" (i.e., contract clauses that require the shipper to support the pipeline's associated FERC filing), FERC states that it will look with disfavor on clauses that require too broad a waiver of a shipper's statutory rights to seek redress before FERC. While FERC does not question the reasonableness of "duty to support clauses" that require contract shippers to support the pipeline's efforts to obtain authorization for construction and approval of the rates the shipper specifically agreed to, the FERC order indicates that requiring the shipper to waive its statutory rights as to other rates, terms, and conditions likely goes too far.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser
By KBB.com Editors
Sold in the U.S. from 1960 to 1983, the Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser remains one of the most respected off-road vehicles of all time. The Land Cruiser nameplate survives to this day, in fact, but affixed to a much bigger, much more expensive vehicle. Toyota's 4Runner has also grown, both in size and in price, to a starting sticker near $30K, which necessitated the need for the FJ Cruiser. The 2009 FJ Cruiser is Toyota's answer to the popular Nissan Xterra and the venerable Jeep Wrangler. The FJ Cruiser backs up its distinctive, retro-esque styling with serious off-road capability, thanks to features like body-on-frame construction, big tires, available four-wheel drive with two-speed transfer case and available locking rear differential.
Whether you're drawn to it as a comfortable and versatile daily driver, a weekend off-roader or just an expressive way to get from Point A to Point B, you're sure to appreciate how well the 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser does it all.
Depending on what other vehicles you might be considering, the FJ Cruiser's potential faults include marginal fuel economy (although it's slightly more fuel-friendly than the Xterra), big blind spots at the sides and a cargo area that's not as accommodating as those of some other SUVs.
The 2009 FJ Cruiser adds two new safety features: A standard roll-sensing side airbag curtain and whiplash-preventing front seat active headrest. A revised Convenience Package adds a rear backup camera and auto-dimming rear-view mirror.
Driving Impressions Whether you're hoping the FJ Cruiser shines brightest as an off-roader or a daily driver, you'll be happy to hear it fills both rolls exceptionally well. Except for its limited...side visibility and a wide 41.8-foot turning circle, Toyota's newest SUV is as pleasant to drive as many sedans. Off-road, the FJ Cruiser's 32-inch tires, steep approach and departure angles and sophisticated traction aids combine to deliver world-class off-road capability. Compared with its most closely matched competitor, the Nissan Xterra, the FJ doesn't corner as eagerly around town but does deliver a marginally softer highway ride. As for the off-road comparison, we'll give the nod to the Toyota, although the Nissan remains impressive.
Subwoofer Switch
A big, console-mounted subwoofer on/off button makes it easy to optimize the listening experience when switching from talk to rock, for instance.
By automatically applying the brakes to a spinning wheel, Toyota's active traction control system forces torque to the opposing wheel and boosts the FJ Cruiser's off-road capability.
Equipped with water-resistant seat fabric, rubber flooring, removable rear seat bottoms and big control knobs designed for easy operation when wearing gloves, the FJ Cruiser's interior is decidedly purpose-built. Still, it's a very comfortable cabin for front and rear passengers alike, even if entering or leaving the rear seat through the small rear-hinged doors is tough to do elegantly. The rear cargo area isn't huge, but convenient hooks and tie-downs add functionality. A color-keyed center cluster adds a touch of whimsy.Exterior
With two smallish round headlamps flanking a low-profile, rectangular grille, the FJ Cruiser's face provides the strongest link to its FJ40 ancestry. The contrasting white roof, wraparound rear glass and available roof rack are also familiar. In total, though, the 2009 Toyota FJ Cruiser isn't as stylistically true to the original as the modern MINI or VW New Beetle are to their ancestors. Exterior features worth noting are the FJ Cruiser's big 32-inch tires, three windshield wipers and available side mirror-mounted lamps. Toyota also offers plenty of add-ons geared toward off-road duty.
Base FJ Cruisers are equipped with two-wheel drive, automatic transmission, air conditioning, power windows and locks, a six-speaker CD/MP3 audio system, auxiliary audio jack, electronic stability and traction controls, front seat side-mounted airbags, roll sensing side curtain airbags, two front airbags and 17-inch black steel wheels. Four-wheel-drive FJs come standard with a six-speed manual transmission.
FJ Cruiser upgrades include keyless entry, cruise control, rear sonar parking assist, rear backup camera, auto-dimming rear-view mirror, eight-speaker audio system with six-disc CD changer, subwoofer, steering wheel-mounted audio controls and a 115V/400W power outlet. Options for off-roaders include the new Off-Road Package, an automatic transmission (4WD models), a rear differential lock, A-TRAC active traction control and an inclinometer.
A sophisticated aluminum V6 anchors three powertrain combinations that include a five-speed automatic transmission coupled with either two-wheel-drive or a part-time four-wheel-drive system, or a six-speed manual transmission teamed with a full-time four-wheel-drive system. Four-wheel-drive models include a two-speed transfer case. Off-road capability is enhanced with locking differentials and electronic traction controls. Rock-crawling specs include approach and departure angles of 34 and 30 degrees, respectively (32 and 29 degrees for two-wheel drive models). The FJ Cruiser has an independent front suspension and solid rear axle, and its maximum towing capacity is 5,000 pounds.

239 horsepower @ 5200 rpm
278 lb.-ft. of torque @ 3700 rpm

"I have owned my FJ Cruiser since 2008. I have preformed all the recommended factory maintenance and have had ZERO problems with the vehicle. I have driven it in severe snowstorms, heavy rain and in all types of terrain. If you hear a rattle in an FJ Cruiser--you have loose change in your bottle holder. I have owned 30+ new vehicles from a Mercedes-Benz, Cadillac, Chevy, Ford Explorer, GMC SUV, etc and NOTHING comes close to the FJ Cruiser that costs LESS. When they stopped making them in 2014 it became a Japanese national disaster! This is the LONGEST I have owned a vehicle and I cannot sell it or even trade it in! I love it!"

"After having owned numerous domestic and imported vehicles over the past 38 years I can honestly say that this FJ is absolutely the best one and the only one that will not be sold or traded. There is nothing about this truck that is bad, other than rear seat ingress and egress which is inconvenient at worst. I have seen numerous posts complaining about rearward visibility due to the size of the C-pillar and all I have to say about that after having driven vans for years that didn't have rear windows,let alone side windows is: learn how to set and use your mirrors and stop making inaccurate comments about something which is a non-issue and very easily remedied. If they are having to look over their shoulder to change lanes or back up they don't have their mirrors set correctly. If they simply don't know how to set mirrors please ask someone that does, I'm fairly certain that person would be willing to help them,because the sooner they learn to use their mirrors properly,the safer the road my family and I share with them will be."

'Horrible Bosses' & 'Zookeeper' Start Out StrongTwo weeks ago, Paramount Pictures announced that it had crossed the $1 billion mark at the domestic box office, making it the first studio to accomplish the milestone this year. This was the Wednesday that "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" was released, so suffice to say Paramount are going to have a hell of a year. To little surprise, Michael Bay's thunderous monstrosity of a picture dominated the box-office once more this weekend, adding a not-too-shabby $47 million dollar haul to its total despite a 51.9% drop-off.

14ymedio, Carlos Alberto Montaner, Miami, 23 August 2015 — Latin America's streets are filled with people protesting angrily against their governments. The protests are against governments of the left (Venezuela – the worst of all, Brazil, Ecuador, Bolivia, Chile, Nicaragua and Argentina); against those of the center (Peru and Mexico); and against those of the right (Guatemala and Honduras). Surely others will be added along the way.
Those who have taken to the streets in Latin America are essentially protesting for one, several or all of the following twelve reasons: corruption, inefficiency, insecurity against violent crime, the impunity of criminals, the subordination of the other republican branches of government – the legislative and the judicial – to the will of the executive, the blatant change in the rules to stay in power indefinitely, the violation of human rights, electoral tricks, control over the media, shortages, the abuse of rights previously granted to unions or indigenous peoples, and the irresponsible abuse of the delicate ecosystem.
The general perception is that the region is being governed terribly badly, which in part explains the longstanding relative backwardness Continue reading
