By Alejandro Arce The so persistent talk about the “Convention Center” is using valuable time in many meetings and reunions and the solution to such irregular problem is far from being resolved.

By David Arthur Walters Many of the tasks I have occupied myself with over the years seemed at the time to be exercises in futility, but I have learned that there are often hidden rewards in the performance of apparently futile tasks.
