Kanye West just announced he's running for President in 2020. On almost every level, it would seem like a gag to end his endless speech at the VMA's, but the Filibuster was so self-aggrandizing he just may mean it.…

Mentally ill black man jailed for $5 theft found dead in cell

Jamycheal Mitchell, a 24-year-old black man from Virginia, was found dead in his cell on Aug. 19, emaciated beyond recognition.

The Data Still Says “Go”

Ethan Harris, US economist at Bank of America Merrill Lynch, put this out to clients two days ago: As the markets continue to sell-off, an increasingly popular view among investors is that the Fed won’t hike until next year. Global growth is weak, Chinese policy mistakes have destabilized their markets and the US equity market has finally succumbed to the pressure, with a roughly 10% correction. Thus far only a handful ...

Lasik Replaces Eye Glasses!

LASIK is a surgical procedure that can reduce a person's dependency on glasses or contact lenses. The procedure permanently changes the shape of the cornea (the delicate clear covering on the front of the eye). For clear vision, the eye's cornea and lens must bend (refract) light rays properly, so that images are focused on the retina. If the light rays aren't clearly focused on the retina, the images you see are blurry.

LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser.

What is the real difference between conventional Laser Eye Surgery and Custom LASIK Eye Surgery?

Conventional Laser Eye Surgery

Conventional Laser Eye Surgery treats the vast majority of common optical aberrations called "lower order" aberrations. These are responsible for causing nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. Custom LASIK Eye Surgery provides a more precise treatment for patients who have "higher order" aberrations, which we can now measure with the Aberrometer. For these patients, customized laser eye surgery may provide a better quality of vision by measuring and addressing all of these aberrations as part of the treatment plan.

During LASIK surgery, a small incision is made in the cornea to create a flap. A laser beam works within the cornea to reshape it for vision correction. After the reshaping, the flap is put back into place and serves as a sort of natural bandage.

Will I Need Reading Glasses After the Treatment?

Generally, patients under 40 years of age read well without glasses following the treatment. Patients over 40 may need magnification for reading fine print.

Presbyopia is the term that refers to the natural weakening of the focusing muscles that occurs in our early to mid 40s, causing us to need the magnification that reading glasses provide. The LASIK treatment does not correct or prevent presbyopia. We also will be glad to discuss another option called monovision.

a new “headwind” is born

So China devalued its currency a smidge. Probably better to sell now and ask questions later, no? That’s usually worked in recent history, hasn’t it? The move by Beijing has presented investors with the newest “headwind” to toss onto the pile, now that the Greece thing has lost its ability to startle us. As Michael Batnick explains, there has always been a good reason to sell out… One of the ...

Déjà Vu: How Homejoy, Like Fab.com, Neglected Customer Retention And Paid The Price

At first glance, newly shut down housecleaning startup Homejoy and long-beleaguered flash sale site Fab.com, which is still live today, have pretty much nothing in common. Homejoy facilitated on-demand cleaning services through a platform that matched contracted cleaners to customers, a poster child of the recently buzzy “on-demand marketplace” model and part of the even buzzier sharing economy. Separately, Fab.com is a flash sales site that sold design-fueled knickknacks and cool modern furniture, and one of the superstars of the flash sales site bubble of just a few years ago.

The 6 richest candidates for president ever, including Donald Trump

If elections are popularity contests, it doesn't hurt to be the richest kid in the game. Then again, it doesn't seem to help much either.

Donald Trump has already made a splash more than a year ahead of the 2016 presidential election, providing no shortage of sound bites and starting fights with his fellow Republican politicians. It's easy to see Trump as something of a sideshow, but his strength in the polls along with his massive personal fortune make him more formidable than many had initially forecast.

But money isn't everything. On the list of the richest presidential candidates ever, Trump sits at or near the top, depending on the valuation you believe. He is not, however, surrounded by winners. Read more...

IRS FBAR Streamlined Procedures Revisited: Am I Non-Willful?

Am I "Non-Willful"? Taxpayers pursuing resolution of a foreign account issue within the Streamlined Procedures are required to certify, under penalties of perjury, that their conduct was “non-willful.” For purposes of the streamlined procedures, non-willful conduct is defined as conduct that is “due to negligence, inadvertence, or mistake or conduct that is the result of a good faith misunderstanding of the requirements of the law.” The issue at hand... is whether the IRS will agree.
