A year ago today, I was clad in green taffeta, holding hydrangeas and walking down an aisle making eyes at the hot guy in the 4th pew. Never having been a bridesmaid before, I was taking this very seriously. We'd had a bachelorette party in LA, fittings and dress drama, an early morning hair and make-up session that morning in a hotel room, fabulous photos taken, a limo to the chappel and cameras flashing in my face as I strutted through that church. But I didn't really get the whole point until I watched my beautiful friend Katherine marry the love of her life.
The ceremony was stunning, but nothing compared to that reception. Held at the San Francisco Film Society, overlooking the bay and the bridge, we danced and ate and drank. I found that being the only single bridesmaid had immense and overwhelming benefits, of which I took great advantage. But that's a story for another day.
As I danced the night away with my groomsman, Rodney, Katherine's Texan Aunt Sandy pulled me aside.
"I can tell that you're the troublemaker in the group. Well, you know what? I'm a troublemaker too."
I was responsible for the after party at the Cliff House and late in the evening, rallied the troops. I remember little else, save that I cornered Shawn in the bar and gave him a lecture on taking care of my best friend, began making inappropriate toasts with Shawn's college cronies, and spilled red wine all over my beautiful dress, which somehow ended up in a crumpled ball on the floor. Uh…
Katherine and Shawn's wedding rocked my world, and I hope it rocked theirs as well. When I spent my lunch period in 1994 sitting on a bench bitching about being sixteen with someone who somehow seemed to be the only person "getting me" those days, I had no idea I'd one day have the glorious honor of watching her walk off into the Sunset, happily, happily, happily ever after…

IRVING, Texas — ESPN Insider Mel Kiper Jr. has offered up his second-round mock draft and he has the Dallas Cowboys taking Missouri defensive end Kony Ealy with the 47th pick overall.
You need to be an Insider to see all of the picks , but Ealy to the Cowboys makes some sense considering the Cowboys need help along the defensive line.
The guy I would prefer is Boise State's Demarcus Lawrence, but he is not available in Kiper's second-round mock.

Worried workers fret about Taiwan's IT sector
DEBBY WU, Contributing writer
TAIPEI -- Jack Chen has given up.
"We have to work unreasonable hours to service our clients all over the world," said Chen, a 33-year-old IT professional who earned about $1,900 a month before quitting last year to take a career break. "Taiwanese companies are losing their bargaining power following years of cutting prices to win and retain customers."
Taiwan's tech companies work around the clock for shrinking revenues and thinning profits. The Taiwan Stock Exchange's Electronics Sub-Index, which peaked above 560 in 2000, now trades below 340.
The founders of sector champions such as Acer and HTC are returning to active duty to try and turn things around.
Fallen stars
Information technology drives Taiwan's economy. It accounts for 51% of the local stock exchange's market capitalization. But its heyday is over. "Strategic missteps lead to destruction," Taiwan's Fubon Securities said in a bearish report on the 2014 outlook for the IT sector.
"Taiwan's tech companies are vexed by sluggish global growth and competition from Chinese manufacturers who do business at a lower cost," said Vincent Chen, an analyst with Yuanta Securities in Taipei.
Research companies IDC and Gartner expect sales of PCs and laptop computers will fall at least 6% further this year. The first-quarter drop, however, was less than expected because Microsoft's phasing out of Windows XP boosted sales of new machines.
Taiwanese electronics companies were expanding manufacturing capacity for traditional products just as demand shifted to handheld devices, according to Luo Huai-jia, deputy secretary-general of the Taiwan Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association.
"Over the past three years, my company has seen its revenue drop by 20% and profit margin shrink by 3% annually," said a sales manager at a leading Taiwanese networking equipment company. "We are suffering because we have been planning our products based on demand for notebooks."
She said many suppliers are opening up their books to clients to try and moderate pressure for price cuts. "What we are doing is mass suicide," she said. "Everyone knows there is no future in the IT sector. Our executives just care about how much they can take away from the company." She is now looking for other work.
Pressure to cut costs has led most Taiwanese IT companies to skimp on research and development, according to Michael Wei, who runs a Taiwanese smartphone component company. "Sure, our IT sector will exist in 10 years," he said. "But that will mean we work 16 hours and get paid peanuts."
The issue is industrywide. Acer four years ago expected to become the world's largest PC maker. It posted losses of $20.5 billion New Taiwan dollars ($681 million) last year and NT$2.46 billion in 2012. Revenues slipped 16% to NT$360.1 billion in 2013. The company has fallen behind China's Lenovo Group and local rival Asustek Computer. Two chief executives have left in recent months.
Smartphone maker HTC has seen its market capitalization decline about 90% from its peak. It posted its first quarterly net loss as a listed company in the July-September period. On April 7, it reported a NT$1.88 billion first-quarter loss. Cher Wang, co-founder and chairwoman, returned to a more active role at the company in October.
Bright spots
All is not doom and gloom.
Taiwan's panel makers are starting to regain their footing after several rough years. AU Optronics generated a net profit of NT$4.25 billion last year. It had suffered two consecutive years of losses. Rival Innolux in 2013 posted net income of NT$5.1 billion, after five years in the red. But revenues slipped 7.9% in the first quarter compared to a year earlier, as shipments of panels for PCs and televisions continue to fall.
The world's No. 1 contract chipmaker by revenue, Taiwan Semiconductor Mfg. finished 2013 with record profits of NT$188 billion and revenue of NT$597.02 billion. First-quarter revenue for the Apple supplier grew 11.7% from a year earlier, thanks to demand for high-performance smartphone and tablet chips.
MediaTek, meanwhile, has prospered by supplying chips to upstart phone makers in China and other developing countries. It reported April 8 that first-quarter revenues almost doubled to NT$46 billion, from NT$24 billion a year earlier.
Companies are also now looking beyond their traditional profit sources. Hon Hai Precision Industry, for example, is investing in a mobile network after winning a new license. Huan Hsin, meanwhile, is investing even further afield. It is bringing Krispy Kreme doughnuts from the U.S. to Taiwan.

Southeast Asia: Abbott invests in ambient to reach Singapore moms
SINGAPORE: Abbott Laboratories has kicked off a month-long campaign to promote PediaSure, a formula aimed at infants and toddlers.
Said Goh Sue-Yin, advertising and promotions manager, Abbott Laboratories: "According to an ACNielsen study, approximately 34 per cent of mothers think that their children are picky about food.
"We embarked on this campaign to heighten awareness of picky eating among children, and to offer a solution in the form of PediaSure."
Along with print, the campaign also uses shelf wobblers and a new in-store advertising medium called FloorVision in 81 Cold Storage and NTUC Fairprice supermarkets.
FloorVision is a sticker which is placed on the floor in the aisles.
A 3-D effect is achieved by adding shadows onto the objects depicted in the sticker.
Said Goh: "We are always on the look out for new technology and ideas. By using cut-through creative executions, like 3-D FloorVisions, we can differentiate ourselves in attracting the attention of our target audience."
Abbott also worked with NTUC Fairprice to give away vanilla and chocolate samples at nine Fairprice outlets.
The campaign was conceptualised by Doodleroom and executed by ActMedia Singapore.

It's not that anyone attains perfection, but after living with ourselves our entire lives, we learn what to expect. We know our highest levels of performance, our areas of strengths and unique gifts. We pride ourselves in these attributes and strive to be the best we can.
Then debilitating illness strikes. We're not who we were. A lesser version of ourselves has abducted our bodies and settled in like it owns the place.
We wait to recover. Get back to normal.
But what if we don't?
What if some parts never heal? What if they just are … who we are now?
Cancer left dents in the package that is me. Even after much healing, the fracture lines of treatment stare back at me. They taunt and heckle. My body flashes daily reminders like annoying pop-ups bearing unwanted messages.
The hardest part of recovering from cancer is accepting those parts that have not recovered. If the brain fog has dissipated over time and the memory improved, it still has not made a full comeback. Same goes for the energy and stamina. I won't mention the peripheral nerve damage, headaches, lymphedema or the cosmetic stuff, such as thin hair and sparse eyelashes. Me complain? I'm alive, yes?
I'm learning to live with these things, but I will never like them. I don't know if I can mentally incorporate them into my image of who I am now. They feel like part of something outside myself that, unfortunately, attached itself to my body. Like a parasite. A foreign invader I'd like to extricate from the real me, if only I knew how.
My mother used to joke about the other seniors who'd make statements like, "I used to be 5'11″," or other similar remarks about the bodies they used to have. One day my mother, all 5'1″ of her, said, "I used to be six feet four inches." Everyone scoffed and told her she was full of it, but she made her point about how foolish the others sounded to her.
Like those who shrink in height, gain weight or experience a decline in vision, we bemoan the loss of the person we used to be. Our identities are indelibly entwined with our former concepts of self.
Unlike that which affects appearance only, cancer leftovers often interfere with enjoyment of life. Although finished with treatment, the struggle continues, even if not at the same level.
I want to shout, Hey! This is not the real me! See who I used to be? Remember her?
When you're NED, you tend not to complain, or if you do, you do so quietly. After all, we're alive. And so grateful, we say. And we are. Still, survivor's guilt trips us up and keeps us from complaining too much or too loudly, especially when we see our metastatic sisters who suffer so deeply. On the opposite end of the spectrum are family and friends who can't possibly understand why we still struggle. Surely we're just fine. Isn't our regrown hair evidence?
Thank you, that's very nice that I appear fine but … am I the only one who sees the aliens who've invaded my body? Of course, those who are close can see and often admit that, yes, cancer has taken a toll.
I detest the term "new normal" because I don't regard these things as normal. Sweet euphemisms fail to comfort when struggling through the present day-to-day.
It's not that I have illusions of perfection. Perfectionism is an endless quest taken by those who shun mediocrity. While high aspirations are admirable, the quest is misguided. I know because I'm guilty of countless attempts. Perfect doesn't exist. It's just that after the loss and diminished function that occurs after a serious illness or injury, we're slapped in the face rather abruptly with new imperfections.
I recently listened to Leonard Cohen's beautiful song, "Anthem," during which I cried deep healing tears. A cathartic moment, it encouraged me to let go of visions of who I was and to embrace all I am. The beauty of imperfection is the awkward, gawky way that light shines through unexpected places, like how a flower manages to grow and push up through the cracks of concrete. So resilient, its beauty stands out, indeed is striking, against its unlikely surroundings. And here's a euphemism that I do embrace: reinvention. I'm all for it.
Below are some of the beautiful lyrics and a youtube of Leonard Cohen's Anthem:
Ring the bell that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
I can understand your comment on what the normal is for those of us still here after our cancer journeys. If the light that comes through the crack is sensed, we can accept what we've been through, and recognize our new normal. I don't care for surgeries and the treatments that have happened to my body over the 26 years of primaries and recurrences, but I have acknowledged them so I know what I have learned and I must do. It takes time, I know, and I wish you wellness. Thanks for the lovely essay and song.
Rae, I love your comment, "If the light that comes through the crack is sensed, we can accept what we've been through…" It carries weight coming from you after 26 years of this stuff! I also wish you wellness. Thanks so much for commenting.
Wonderful insights, Eileen. I don't think it's really perfectionism to want to be one's fully functioning self. Yet, people are amazingly resilient and it can be inspiring to see that. Great post.
Thanks, Lisa. Yes, I agree that it's a good thing to aspire toward your best. I'm often pleasantly surprised at how resilient people are, including myself. I think perfectionism is a problem only when we can't accept non-reversible changes or when we try to reach past the glass ceiling. Appreciate your comments.
dear Eileen,
what an insightful post about subjects that so many of us grapple with. I love that you embrace "re-invention"; in fact that concept was what Hugh and I lived, one that provided the hope of unending possibilities, a way to put our own stamp of what it meant to live life well and fully. I think "new normal" is a term that smacks of cold and clinical, that infers that there always needs to be a reference to our old lives, the ones that are gone and never coming back. reinvention takes us forward. I decided I need to re-incorporate that back into my life, both as a widow and a 2 cancer patient, because I will never let either of those things define me. my other words to be my guide posts are resilience and grace. I think re-invention will be the hardest – but I also think it's the most important. life – it ain't easy.
thank you so much for posting the hauntingly beautiful, "anthem" by Leonard Cohen. your words, " the beauty of imperfection is the awkward, gawky way that light shines through unexpected places…" is perfection itself! you are such a gifted wordsmith – and I am thrilled for you to have your writing mojo back again.
much love and light,
Karen XOXOX
Karen, thank you for such kind and encouraging words. You're a gem and an example of one who flowers through the cracks of life. Keep shining! xoxo
I once looked up the definition of perfect and found it meant
- Lacking nothing essential to the whole: complete of its nature or kind.
- Being in a state of undiminished or highest excellence: FLAWLESS
Pretty high expectations to put on ourselves! Perfectionism is merely an illusion because if it were a reality then it actually wouldn't be perfect; this is what makes it such an insane desire to achieve something that is not real. It is basically a never-ending quest that is often media-driven and extremely unhealthy.
Sometimes we fall into the trap of believing that we can only feel whole after we've done everything to ours or society's unrealistic level of perfection. So we strive to have the perfect body, the perfect home, the perfect job. Cancer can give us a break from having to be perfect in this way (although sometimes we feel a need to transfer these expectations to being the perfect cancer patient) but then what happens when all treatment is over? Do we go back to being the perfect wife, mother and employee again? Sometimes we put such realistic expectations on ourselves (and others) to be a certain way and end up damaging ourselves (and loved ones) in the process. The pursuit of perfectionism can become an obsession that sometimes leads to depression and psychological distress.
Marie, great points. I love your comment, "Cancer can give us a break from having to be perfect in this way (although sometimes we feel a need to transfer these expectations to being the perfect cancer patient)." Isn't that the truth! We tell ourselves to be positive and strong, that we're invincible to the rigors of treatment. No wonder we get depressed with that kind of pressure. A little compassion toward our own selves would be a healthier focus.
Lovely! I too have many dents thanks to cancer, and would love to begin embracing them rather than fighting them. The idea of the light coming through the cracks may just help me do so.
This is lovely, Eileen.
Funny how so much of our identity is tied into our physical experiences…but learning to keep ringing despite the cracks, that's certainly a powerful realization. ~Catherine
Eileen, this is an outstanding post that I can so relate to. As a former perfectionist, who thought I had the perfectly healthy body, I can see those cracks. I regret that I didn't appreciate my good health then. I loved your post. Thank you. And I agree, there is no "new normal." What we are experiencing is not normal.
Nancy, Elizabeth, Catherine and Beth, always appreciate your comments. Thank you!
Hi Eileen,
Oh my gosh, this is a timely one for me. I am struggling right now with this very thing. Sometimes I so long for the person I was before cancer. Of course, I'm the same person, but I think you know what I mean. And do you want to know something else? In some ways my health has taken a nose-dive even more after finishing cancer treatment. The AIs have done a real number on me. My weight keeps creeping up. My ability to exercise has been hampered and the neuropathy and the hair… the list goes on and on doesn't it? Of course, I'm grateful to be alive too, very grateful, but… Anyway, the good things is – in this we are not alone either. I totally hear you! Big hugs! Thanks for writing about this.
Nancy, yes, it does help to know we're not alone. Unfortunately, it makes sense that your health would nosedive because 1) you had several doses of poison intravenously dripped into your bloodstream; and 2) in case that wasn't enough, you were put on drugs that artificially suppress your hormones. I don't know if any of that saves lives or not, but I've a hunch it may shorten them, and certainly takes a stab at the quality of life. It's no wonder we continue to struggle.

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

Today is the day, the day Sam has been dreading for the last three week! The day the home school teacher is coming. I on the other hand am ready, well maybe sort of ready…She's going to come and whip this kid back into school mode at least for one hour a day. She will be here at 1:15, ok…I will do some laundry, play with Teddy, fold some laundry, put Teddy to sleep and then shower. 1:15 I will be ready for her. 12:13 Sam appears at my bedroom door with just a T-shirt, underwear and a cast on, " she's here" he say's, "who is here" I ask shhushing him, Teddy just fell asleep damnit, I need to shower, who the heck is here!? He scurries off hobbling on one leg to hid under his blanket, nice! I rush to the door in my robe ready to shoo away whoever is taking up valuable to time away from my shower! There stands a well poised somewhat confused woman, Oh God it's the teacher, how do I know this…because I get the feeling that I'm being considered for detention! "Hi I'm Mrs. so and so"she says, and I say while tying my robe a little tighter that I had't expected her till 1:15. Oh Lord, there is laundry on the table and the couch and….I scurry to find a pair of shorts for Sam, drag him out from under the covers, clear the table and apologize profusely for my mess. Nuns and teachers they both make me feel like I'm in trouble!
It's been a long time….
Wow, it has been a really long time since I posted anything on my blog. I'm going to resurrect my blog, it was always felt nice to write about about fun craft things, mommy advice, fun finds and a lot more!

The meaning of community
You know I never knew what the meaning of community was until I moved to Claremont. I used to live in a huge city where honestly I only knew my next door neighbor and only because she was a nosy busy body but we loved her! Sure we had friends and family but everyone was far-flung. In an emergency it would take at least 30 minutes for anyone to get to me and that is on a good day. Fighting valley traffic was always an interesting phenomena. Five years ago we moved to Claremont, 91711, I had no idea it existed until my husband brought us over to see the town before we moved in two weeks later! I instantly fell in love with the village. We had lunch at Walter's, we sat outside and I felt like I was in Cabot Cove (for you who don't know where Cabot Cove is I say go watch some Murder She Wrote!) The village was tree-lined and beautiful and calm and blooming with flowers. Two, weeks later we moved into an oak lined street and I thought I would lose my mind from the serenity and quite. I wasn't use to quiet. How could I be, I lived in the San Fernando Valley for most of my life, noise was dereguer! I also didn't know how to handle the welcoming committee, people were interested in who we were, they gave us phone numbers on torn pieces of paper, told us when trash pick up would be and what's a good place to get Indian and so on. Wow, what is it about this town that opens its arms wide and takes you in? Well people actually care, they like you, they want you to like the community so it can grow. It's not a forgets your name, I'm serious when I say everyone knows you, you run into people you know everywhere and they don't just make eye contact, they stop and talk to you and ask how things are sometimes we have a traffic jam in the grocery store isles because once you start talking well you know… I'm not trying to make Claremont out to be a utopia not at all every city has its problems but people here step up roll their sleeves and ask how they can help.
I'm not sure why I'm writing this really. I guess what triggered it was the earthquake in Yorba Linda. In Sherman Oaks I would have been panicking not knowing what we would do if something really horrible happened. Here I know there are so many friends and neighbors around I know we will all be ok.
~A New Boutique In Town~
I love boutiques, I prefer to shop in cute little boutiques than large department stores. I guess one of the many reasons that I love Claremont is because they don't care too much for large chain stores…OK OK, I know there have been times when I've complained bitterly about not having a Banana Republic or a JCrew or a Williams Sonoma in the vacant stores in the village expansion but I digress. In the last few months we've had a few new boutiques pop up in the packing house and the village expansion. I'm loving both. The newest one is Maple Boutique. I visited them yesterday and I loved how clean and open the store felt. The displays used were tree stumps and branches to hang the clothing on (love love love!!!) Everything was priced really well and on trend. They have adorable little cards which I love to frame as wall art. In short I'm super happy about this new store! I still woudn't mind a Williams Sonoma or a Sur La Table though…

Great Idea
First a little about my little guy…. here is a picture of him….
If you are anything like me you love everything girly and nothing is girlier than pretty baubles! About a year ago I discovered BaubleBar (www.baublebar.com). They are online retailers of very pretty, very trendy jewelry. The pieces are well made and very well priced and on top of that each week they send you on a treasure hunt to a find a buried bauble that is only $10 dollars! Really, you get a piece of jewelry for $10 dollars! The products are always in style and match every personality and fashion taste.

Here are some of my past purchases
Shopping with ease and style all with a click of a button…
I am such a huge shopping addict! I love clothes, I love how they make me feel, how they make me look and most of all the fun I have picking them out. But recently shopping has lost its thrill. Shopping now seems exhausting, more of a chore than the fun I used to look forward to. In step Tog+Porter. Tog+Porter is an online clothing service. First step you fill out an online questionnaire about your style, your size and what you are looking for in terms of clothing. In a few weeks you receive a box brimming with lovely clothes and an appointment with your stylist via skype, all the benefits of shopping without the hassle of the mall. I've been using Tog+Porter for the last 6 months and I'm super happy with every that box I have received. I usually keep most everything. My stylist Camilla understands what I want, what I'm looking for and isn't afraid to push me towards things that I normally would shy away from. I try on everything from the comforts of my own home and if something doesn't fit or I would like an exchange it's as easy as packing the box and dropping it off for pick up. Shipping and return shipping is always free.
Here are two from my latest box, I'm always camera-shy so tell me what you think!
You should find out for your self what a great service they are…
Tea cups
I love using tea cups as flower pots. Unfortunately I haven't mastered drilling porcelain yet so the best plants (or flowers) to use are succulents. succulents don't require much or frequent watering so whatever water is given will be absorbed quickly therefore bypassing the need for a drainage hole.
Tea cups can be purchased from any thrift store and upcycled!

Still plenty to watch before Games close on Sunday
BEIJING -- We wait four years for the Olympics. Then, just when we were finally getting the time difference down and figuring out the scoring system for gymnastics, the Games draw to a close. But before we bid goodbye to Beijing and begin the countdown to London, here are 10 final events to watch this weekend (all listed in Beijing time, 12 hours ahead of ET):
Baseball medal games
(Saturday: Gold-medal game, 6 p.m.)
Olympic baseball has given us Mark McGwire, Will Clark, Ben Sheets, Tino Martinez, Nomar Garciaparra and many other All-Stars, albeit when they were still young and unknown rather than established major leaguers who wouldn't sign autographs. Will this be the last time we see baseball in the Olympics? It won't be played in 2012, but stands a good chance of coming back in 2016. Cuba goes for the gold (again) against Korea.
Table tennis
(Saturday: 8:30 p.m.)
OK, so it's not Michael Phelps racing for another gold medal. But table tennis is China's national sport and it did help jump-start U.S.-Chinese relations in the 1970s. The volleying is pretty dazzling and, well, foosball isn't an Olympic sport yet.
Women's volleyball gold-medal game
(Saturday: 8 p.m.)
It isn't played on the beach and the women don't wear bikinis, but this is still a pretty compelling game. The Americans have trailed 2-1 in their sets five times in these Olympics, but rallied again and again to advance to the gold-medal game. They'll play top-ranked Brazil in an attempt to win their first gold medal. Most local Chinese fans will be on U.S. coach Lang Pang, who won a gold for China as a player in 1984 and a silver as its coach in 1996.
Women's basketball gold-medal game
(Saturday: 10 p.m.)
The women will play for their fourth consecutive gold medal and their third consecutive against Australia and Lauren Jackson. Apparently, the Americans were able to survive despite Becky Hammon playing for Russia.
Men's and women's 4x400-meter relays
(Saturday: Women's at 8:40 p.m.; men's at 9:05 p.m.)
Usain Bolt isn't entered in the relay, so maybe someone else will finally win a race. And maybe the U.S. runners can hold onto the baton this time.
Men's marathon
(Sunday: 7:30 a.m.)
It's not only the most classic of Olympic sports; the course goes past Tiananmen Square. Best of all, it's probably the last you'll have to hear about Beijing's smog and whether it affects performances.
Men's volleyball gold-medal game
(Sunday: Noon)
The worst story of the Olympics was the murder of coach Hugh McCutcheon's father-in-law at a Beijing tourist site. The team played without its coach until he returned to guide them to the gold-medal game for the first time since 1988.
Men's basketball gold-medal game
(Sunday: 2:30 p.m.)
It is tough to decide who to root for in this one. On the one hand, you want to see the U.S. win gold, don't you? On the other hand, how can you possibly bring yourself to root for a team coached by Mike Krzyzewski?
Men's water polo gold-medal game
(Sunday: 3:40 p.m.)
Look, you'll get to see the basketball players again soon enough. Do yourself a favor and catch some phenomenal athletes playing an exciting, fast-paced and very physical game when the U.S. plays for the gold in water polo -- for the first time since 1988 -- against two-time defending Olympic champ Hungary.
Closing Ceremony
(Sunday: 8 p.m.)
How will the Chinese top the spectacular way they lit the Olympic cauldron? Whatever happens, it's going to be quite a show.

Searching for those things of the heart. Nature, the mountains, the ocean. Skating, surfing, tattoos, some motorcycles, thats me. Foxes (my animal), wolves, old cabins, bohemia, some city culture. In there is where you can find me...
Go to a coffee shop. Sit by the bar with the glass windows and look out. Look at all the people running to catch a train. All the girls with one too many shopping bags. All the couples too in love to care. Then you'll see it — a bit of yourself in everyone. And somehow, sitting alone in a coffee shop had never felt so good.
I like cancelled plans. And empty bookstores. I like rainy days and thunderstorms. And quiet coffee shops. I like messy beds and over-worn pajamas. Most of all, I like the small joys that a simple life brings.

The US is still the top destination for FDI, but developing countries like China and Russia are gaining ground.
Developed economies regained some momentum in attracting foreign direct investments FDIs in 2013, especially the US and Germany, but investors continued to focus on developing countries, research by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development UNCTAD suggests.
Swift global integration, the expansion of a global consumer class, and the rise of urban areas as the engines of global economic growth have ushered in a new era that demands more global engagement from America's city and regional leaders.
via The 10 Traits of Globally Fluent Metro Areas | Brookings Institution.
Local and Mexican officials on Friday said a new study that revealed Mexican nationals spent nearly $374 million in Bexar County last year should serve as a first step in understanding the overall impact that cross-border visitors have on the region.
via S.A., Mexican groups hail spending study – San Antonio Express-News.
The biggest purchase by far among Mexican nationals is clothing particularly high-end name brand items. One reason for such large purchases is because Mexico has a 1,000% tariff on apparel from China in an effort to protect the domestic apparel manufacturing market. However, to comply with the WTO rules and regulations, Mexican tariffs on apparel imports will decline which could lead over the mid-term to a spending habit change my Mexican nationals in Texas.
"To increase U.S. exports—particularly by the small and mid-size companies that drive domestic job creation—the federal government should initiate a short-term competitive Regional Export Accelerator Challenge REACH grant program to support public-private partnerships working to launch customized regional export plans."
via Strengthen Federalism: Establish a Regional Export Accelerator Challenge REACH Grant Program to Boost U.S. Exports and Trade Capacity | Brookings Institution.
Realizing the metro export trade can both boost job creation and lead to market diversity, the Brookings Institution has published the following policy paper to urge the Federal Government to establish a program to assist local communities develop their own export strategy.
A policy paper from the World Economic Forum on how reducing supply chain barriers would lead to increased global trade.
"Enabling Trade: Valuing Growth Opportunities" finds that reducing supply chain barriers can increase global GDP up to 6 times more than removing all import tariffs. Such large increases in GDP would be associated with positive effects on unemployment, potentially adding millions of jobs to the global workforce.

"…[US] economic recovery will require the expansion of export markets and elimination of the remaining trade deficit. A renewed focus on exports will induce increased investment to expand capacity, and the rise in employment and incomes will leverage a higher level of consumption. Thus, the United States needs to concentrate on actions that will make it more competitive in global markets and an attractive place to produce and do business."
-Barry P. Bosworth, Senior Fellow, Economic Studies, The Robert V. Roosa Chair, The Brookings Institute
via Export Expansion: The Key to Economic Recovery | Brookings Institution.
Dear Readers,
As some of you know, I'm an Economic Development Manager for the City of San Antonio. Recently, I was asked to project manage for the City the development of an export strategy with the Brookings Institution's Metropolitan Export Initiative. I'm thrilled to be doing this and the strategy development will get underway next week during a two-day training session in Washington, DC. The goal of the first session is to provide research and assessment tools to communities so they can begin to develop, and ultimately implement, their own export policy. We will bring our draft strategies back to Brookings for a second session in February 2013.
From an earlier post on this site, San Antonio was one of eight communities chosen for this year's initiative. Other communities that will take part include San Diego; Chicago; Tampa Bay, Fla.; Des Moines, Iowa; Charleston, S.C.; Louisville, Ky.; and Columbus, Ohio. This is a great economic development opportunity for the communities involved and a way to broaden their markets from local, regional, and national to international.
Since this is a unique project, I'll be providing posts on this site to keep you updated on the development of the strategy. For now, you can read more about the Brookings Metro Export Initiative below and I would encourage the readers of this site to visit the Brookings website on this initiative (link below).

The Metropolitan Export Initiative (MEI) is a ground-up collaborative effort to help regional civic, business, and political leaders—with their states—create and implement customized Metropolitan Export Plans (MEPs).

Thessaloniki and Central Macedonia Sights
Panagia Achiropiitos
Panagia Achiropiitos Review
The name Achiropiitos means "made without hands" and refers to the icon representing the Virgin that miraculously appeared in this 5th-century Byzantine church during the 12th century. An early example of the basilica form, the church has marvelous arcades, monolithic columns topped by elaborate capitals, and exquisite period mosaics of birds and flowers. It is the second-oldest church in Thessaloniki and probably the oldest in continuous use in the eastern Mediterranean. An inscription in Arabic on a column states that "Sultan Murat captured Thessaloniki in the year 1430," which was the year the church was converted temporarily into a mosque.

Whether you get your medical insurance from a new public health exchange, through your employer or by bribing impoverished medical students with baked goods, the most important thing is to avoid having to use it.
For instance, eat sensibly and avoid pizza -- especially when you're in the car, as Nate Burleson of the NFL's Detroit Lions found out. The wide receiver broke two arm bones in a car accident last week. Police reports said Burleson hit a median after being distracted by a whole pizza sliding off his car seat.
The receiver didn't realize he was playing with pepperoni-topped disaster, but a survey from Insure.com finds that just about any food in the car can be dangerous enough to cause distracted driving, which gives a whole new meaning to the term, "crash diet."
It's finger-licking dangerous
"You can't be ticketed for eating while driving -- it's perfectly legal -- but if your food distracts you from the road, the resulting accidents or tickets can cause your insurance rates to go up," notes Amy Denise, editor of Insure.com.
Topping the list of dangerous foods is coffee -- it's hot and spills, and while sleepy drivers want a jolt to stay awake, it shouldn't come from hitting the car in front of you.
Soup is next, followed by tacos, hamburgers, barbecue and fried chicken, proving that it doesn't do any good to keep your hands on the wheel if they're covered in grease. The safest snacks are finger foods, such as French fries or candy bars.
Eating through your savings
Getting a ticket for a distracted driving offense will raise your insurance bill by anywhere from 9 percent, in the case of failure to yield, to as much as 22 percent, for reckless driving. So that better be one great plate of spaghetti and meatballs you're chowing down on in the left lane.
Other costs from rolling through town while eating egg rolls include tickets and fines, deductibles for repairs, and any health care co-pays, hospital costs or lost wages from missed work.
In addition, your auto insurance doesn't always go up after a crash, but it is likely, depending on your insurer's surcharge rules. The average accident cost $4,000 in 2008, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, and the hike on your policy could be anywhere from 20 to 40 percent of your base rate.
All things considered, you're best off eating your road food in front of a table instead of behind the wheel. And you should definitely save your tailgating for the parking lot.

Violence is continuing in Syria, with activists reporting government assaults on the southern city of Deraa and Homs in the centre of the country.
At least 52 civilians were killed around the country outside Damascus on Saturday, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based activist group.
Among them were 20, including nine women and children, who died in heavy, pre-dawn shelling in the southern city of Daraa, where the uprising against Assad began in March 2011.
Six children were among 10 killed by a shell that exploded in a house they took cover in during fierce fighting in the coastal region of Latakia, the group said.
The group's figures could not be independently confirmed.
Activists in Homs said several neighbourhoods were under intense shelling for the third day in a row on Saturday. They said al-Khaldiyeh, Jouret al-Shayyah, al-Qusour and Old Homs were being bombarded with mortars and rockets.
At least six people were reportedly killed. Military reinforcements were reported to have arrived to the city, including armoured vehicles and dozens of pickups equipped with machine guns.
Opposition strongholds in the city have been under shelling for many months, but activists said the intensity had increased significantly in recent days.
The nearby town of al-Qusayr was also said to have endured heavy shelling and a large number of buildings and agricultural areas were burning as a result.
Homs province has been the scene of large anti-government protests and has also become a stronghold for the armed opposition.
Meanwhile, the International Committee for the Red Cross released a report stating that at least 1.5 million people need urgent humanitarian assistance in Syria.
Philippe Stoll, spokesperson for the ICRC based in Geneva, said that it was crucial to get basica humanitarian assistance such as food, water, and medical aid to people in Syria.
When asked about shelling on a daily basis, he responded, "We don't have first-hand information as such, so we won't make any conclusions on the situation there, but what we can do is call all parties who are fighting to prevent further civilian casualties."
Situation 'more alarming'
In the latest diplomatic development, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, said his country would not approve the use of force against the Syrian government at the United Nations.
Lavrov said "the situation is becoming more alarming", but stressed that there was no alternative to a peace plan mediated by UN-Arab League envoy Kofi Annan to stop the violence.
He said Russia was calling for a working group to pressure all parties of the conflict to implement the plan, which calls for a Syrian-led political transition.
Russia, along with China, has vetoed two Security Council resolutions against Assad and has vowed to oppose any military intervention.
Meanwhile, in Turkey, the Syrian National Council (SNC), the main opposition bloc, elected Kurdish activist Abdulbaset Sieda as its new leader, replacing Burhan Ghalioun who resigned from his post amid accusations that he was monopolising power and was out of touch with the opposition on the ground.

The vacation you dream of could be here, mine was!
Jen -- Nov 04, 2010 06:12 pm
This place is fantastic. I have traveled around the world and to much of the Pacific but this place takes the cake! It is located in the middle of several key travel locations that I can't imagine missing. To name a few there's the black sand beaches (Punalu'u), South Point (tremendous cliffs that drop to the ocean, the southernmost tip of the US and where Polynesians first arrived), Kahuku (the newer side to the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park), volcanic eruptions (Kilauea side of Hawaii Volcanoes National Park), etc. Make sure to try the locally produced coffee, it's excellent and was actually served at Obama's inaugural ball! The owner, Julia Neal, can set you up with local Hawaiian coffee farm tours - some of which have traditional Imu's (underground oven) that are still used today for Luau's and weddings. This place is not overpriced - it's actually pretty cheap - especially when you realize you are getting a complete cottage with the deal (full kitchen and all). Ask them to cater for you for at least one meal - it's all fresh and locally produced. Man, they can cook! If you want to get to know Hawaii's culture, history and natural wonders... look no further. Did I mention that there is a green sand beach on the Big Island? Ask Julia how to get there. She is very knowledgeable about the area and can set up anything you want to do for a really good price. Friendly staff, clean and comfortable cottages with all the accommodations you could ask for! Definitely my favorite. You could even host a wedding, retreat, or reunion here - it's that great. Take a chance, check it out - I guarantee you'll fall in love!
