This is so weird. But why wouldn't it be? David Bowie's involved.
Been a Bowie fan since I first heard "The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars" in 1972 (bought it at the PX on Fort Bliss).
I didn't miss many tours after moving to Michigan in 1983 (and saw one show before that, in Dallas), including the last one in 2004.
I have longed for something new out of the aging rock auteur and just yesterday morning, Jan. 7, I inserted a paragraph into my column for the Jan. 15 paper, my annual list of things I wish for in the new year, about wishing Bowie would make a comeback.
But I know absolutely nothing about what he'd been doing, other than things I've read occasionally about how much he's been out of the public eye since his heart surgery in 2004.
I'm not sure what triggered. Might have been another column I wrote for today's paper, in which I listed the 40th anniversary "Ziggy Stardust" reissue among my favorite releases of 2012.
Or the pic I saw recently of Bowie walking down the street in NYC with a shopping bag in his hand, the kind of rare glimpse we've had of him over the last several years.
I was one of no doubt millions heartened by the news this morning that the Bowie chose to celebrate his 66th birthday today by posting the video for a new song, the sad and reflective "Where Are We Now?," the first salvo from a new album, "The Next Day," due March 12.
It's his first new album since "Reality" was released in 2003.
So much has happened since then. Like many of his fans, I'm trying to glean specks of meaning from the 17 new songs announced on his site today, such as "Dirty Boys," "Dancing Out in Space," "You Feel So Lonely You Could Die" and "The Stars (Are Out Tonight)," but we won't really know what he singing about until we hear it.
Until then, here's the new video, shot at his old apartment in Berlin, where Bowie spent some key years in the '70s trying to clean up and start over.
Wonder who the woman is next to him in that weird, distorted, two-headed puppet? Maybe she represents something he didn't have at that time, or a relationship ruined by his chemical dependency.
Guess I'll have to change that wish list item from "wish" he would come back to being glad that he is coming back.

Cross removed from damaged steeple
BY TINA SFONDELES AND STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporters November 19, 2013 11:28AM
Article Extras

Updated: December 21, 2013 6:24AM
Donna Berry shed a tear Tuesday evening as crews carefully removed the cross atop a historic Avondale neighborhood church steeple likely damaged by wind in Sunday's dangerous storms.
A construction worker spent nearly an hour securing the cross — made of wood and covered in copper — with yellow rope. Then he sawed it off from the wind-damaged steeple at Concordia Evangelical Lutheran Church, 2645 W. Belmont Ave.
By 6 p.m., the cross was dangling from the rope, high above the neighborhood, before being carefully placed in a construction vehicle. Parishioners said the cross will be stored in a ward yard, then placed back in the church.
Berry said the cross has been in full view of her condominium since she moved to the neighborhood 13 years ago:.
"It made me very sad because this cross is a very important part of our lives. I have two kids here and we see that cross every day, and now it won't be there tomorrow morning when we wake up," said Berry, 46. "I'm happy they saved it and can't wait to see where they're actually placing it, but again, something that you have for so long is gone and you can't help but feel a little bit sad."
The Rev. Martin Doering, pastor of the church, watched from across the street, in an alley with other parishioners and neighborhood residents.
"That cross is very important," Doering said. "But we're trying to keep as much intact as possible."
The removal of the damaged steeple was delayed in the afternoon while officials brought in a crane to take down the steeple without destroying it.
By about 4 p.m., a construction worker in a crane hammered at the steeple horizontally, poking holes in sections of it. Crews on scene said the plan is to remove the steeple in sections, but by 10 p.m., the steeple was still standing.
West Belmont Avenue was closed between California and Rockwell avenues, creating traffic jams and rerouting CTA buses. Police said Belmont will stay closed until the steeple is removed.
The plan, initially, was to remove the steeple Tuesday morning. But that changed after a crane operator said he couldn't be sure the steeple could be taken down without damaging it, Doering said.
There were no indications of trouble Sunday, when church services went on as normal. But on Monday, city staff found significant damage to the supports holding up the steeple and deemed it to be a hazard to the public.
Dan Pogorzelski, of the Northwest Chicago Historical Society huddled up with other parishioners to watch the removal. He said a great part of city history is going away along with the steeple.
"The city of immigrants wanted to bring a little bit of home back with them. And if you look at that tower, it's literally as if was transported from the south of Germany," Pogorzelski said. It was a welcome to the neighborhood and so it's very sad that one of those hallmarks, something that was built for the ages is now being removed."

Vertex Energy, Inc. Reports Increased Net Income, Revenue And Gross Profit For The First Quarter Of 2011 Compared To The First Quarter Of 2010
Vertex Energy, Inc. (OTCBB: VTNR), a leader in the aggregation, re-refining and processing of distressed petroleum streams such as used oil, transmix, fuel oils and off-specification commercial chemical products, today announced its financial results for the first quarter ended Mach 31, 2011.
Financial highlights for the first quarter of 2011 include:
- Revenue for the quarter increased 53% to $20.3 million compared to $13.3 million for the first quarter of 2010;
- Gross profit increased 121% to $2.3 million compared with $1.0 million for the first quarter of 2010;
- Net income improved to $1.2 million compared to $270,000 in the first quarter of 2010;
- Earnings per share increased to $0.09 per fully diluted share, compared with $0.02 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2010;
- Overall volumes increased 20% compared to Q1 2010; and
- Gross margin per barrel handled increased by 84% relative to the same quarter last year.
Benjamin P. Cowart, Chief Executive Officer of Vertex Energy said, "The strong results of the first quarter of 2011 were the result of the efforts we made over the past two years to strengthen our operations, including our investment in our patent-pending Thermal-Chemical Extraction Process ("TCEP"). We also increased our volumes through aggressively acquiring the supply of raw materials. Our net income for the quarter, which was $1.2 million, was nearly equal to our full year 2010 net income, and was enabled through improved revenue and gross margins in all of our business units relative to the first quarter of 2010."
Mr. Cowart continued, "TCEP accounted for nearly 42% of our revenue during the first quarter of 2011. TCEP allows us to process used oil into a refining feedstock or diesel replacement that can be used in all grades of fuel oil. We believe that the combination of our used oil aggregating capabilities, a traditional strength of the company, and the TCEP technology, gives us a competitive advantage in the market by allowing us to capture higher margins by processing the used oil that we aggregate into a more valuable product that is sold into an extremely large fuel market. We believe that the demand for the TCEP finished product is evidenced by the fact that our entire finished product volume has been contracted for sale."

KUAR-FM, 89.1, rearranged its leadership structure last week, according to station General Manager Ben Fry.
Regina Scruggs, program director for KLRE-FM, 90.5, was scheduled to take the additional role of KUAR program director Thursday. The University of Arkansas at Little Rock operates both public radio stations, and Scruggs will work for both in her new position.
KUAR assignment editor and reporter Michael Hibblen was slated to become the KUAR news director, also on Thursday.
In addition, KUAR will create a content development director position in December, Fry said.
Ex-KUAR program director Ron Breeding left the station last spring after receiving a 30-day notice of termination without cause, Breeding told Outtakes in July.
KUAR isn't directly replacing Breeding, but his former duties are instead being spread among the three director positions, Fry said.

Era Aviation was an airline based in Anchorage, Alaska, USA. It operated a network of services from Anchorage as part of Alaska Airlines Partnerships. Its main base was Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport.[2]
Era Aviation was established and started operations in 1948 when Carl Brady flew what was the first commercial helicopter to Alaska to work on a mapping contract for the US government. Fixed wing aircraft were then acquired by the company in addition to helicopters. Scheduled fixed wing passenger services began in May 1983. Era was a wholly owned division of the Rowan Companies, which is a large oil and gas drilling rig operator.[2] The airline formerly operated Convair 580 turboprops as well as de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, DHC-7 Dash 7 and DHC-8 Dash 8 turboprops flying code share feeder services for Alaska Airlines. Era used the two letter "AS" airline code for its flight numbers on these services for Alaska Airlines.
Effective February 27, 2009, Era Aviation, Inc. was bought out and became a subsidiary of The Frontier Alaska Group along with Frontier Flying Service and Hageland Aviation. The combination of the three air carriers resulted in the largest Alaska-based airline in terms of serving more destinations and passengers operated with the largest airplane fleet in the state. The combined airline now operates as Era Alaska.
Era Aviation operated scheduled passenger services to the following destinations prior to the merger which created Era Alaska:[citation needed]
From Anchorage:
In addition, a network of villages in Alaska was served from Bethel with the DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft.
The Era Aviation fleet included the following aircraft (upon merger)
Era Aviation previously operated Convair 580 turboprop aircraft as well as de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter, DHC-7 Dash 7 and DHC-8 Dash turboprop aircraft. The Twin Otter and Dash 7 are short takeoff and landing (STOL) aircraft. The company also operated a Lear 35 business jet; however, this aircraft was not used in scheduled passenger airline operations.
Bankruptcy and buyout[edit]
After being bought and sold several times over the years, Era filed for bankruptcy in 2005. In 2009 the company was acquired by rival Frontier Alaska Group and the Frontier Flying Service 121 mainline operation was in the process of being merged into Era Aviation's certificate.[4] In 2010, Era Alaska was formed using the assets of Frontier Alaska Group, Frontier Flying Service, Era Aviation, and Hageland Aviation.

Photo #: 19-N-8229
USS Bainbridge (DD-246)
Fitting out at the New York Shipbuilding Corporation shipyard, Camden, New Jersey, 29 October 1920.
Note that the captioning on the photograph identifies the ship as "Destroyer No. 249" and that the builder's hull number painted on the bow is "238". Both of these indicate that the ship may actually be USS Hopkins (DD-249), and not Bainbridge.
Also note the temporary wooden railing installed around the destroyer's deck edge.

Howard Jacobson's J is about as difficult to like as it is to finish, but that doesn't necessarily mean that it isn't worthy of a read. It doesn't try to be liked; it isn't going to go out of its way to get you to finish it, but for anyone that pushes through, with slightly(…)
Fiction reviews
Fiction book reviews, looking at some of the best new literature publications, including hardback and paperback releases, new authors and the review of existing classics.
Meena Kandasamy The Gypsy Goddess review
It's not often for us to read a new novel and not wish we could change one element or another, but in Meena Kandasamy's The Gypsy Goddess we think we may have met our match, as there isn't a single thing that we'd change. That inevitably means that our review of the poet's debut novel(…)
Hilary Mantel, Wolf Hall review
Though we're a little late to the party in our review of Hilary Mantel's Wolf Hall, we can't help but add our take on the scintillating novel that has already won The Booker Prize, The Walter Scott Prize for Literature and The National Book Critics Circle Award. There's probably a lot of avid readers that(…)
Laurent Binet HHhH review
By Martin Leese The first and most important thing to mention about HHhH is that despite it's location in the fiction department of your local book retailer, website or library it is, for the most part, a work of astounding, obsessive non-fiction. The attention to detail and historical accuracy in the tale of second world(…)
Terry Pratchett, Snuff review
Terry Pratchett's Snuff is the latest novel in the brilliant City Watch series featuring the impassible Commander Samuel Vimes as he's sort of forced on holiday with his wife Lady Sybil Ramkin and their young son Sam. It's also the 39th Discworld Novel written by Pratchett, showing the prolific impact he's had on the fantasy(…)
Swimming Home, Deborah Levy review
As the name suggests, Swimming Home by British writer Deborah Levy is a submerged plunge into the refracting light and pockets of darkness of home life abroad. Nominated for the 2012 Booker Prize, it's a literary tour de force with poetic prose and a fascinating plot set in the sunshine of the French Riviera. The(…)
James Patterson & Mark Sullivan, Private Games review
It's not necessarily meant to be a comedy, but there's definitely a few laughable moments in James Patterson's latest crime thriller, Private Games, co written with Mark Sullivan. It's not that
The Vanishing Act by Mette Jakobson review
Mette Jakobson's The Vanishing Act is well written, interesting and very different from a lot of other novels that look at love, relationships, family and loss. However, it just falls short of pulling off the alternative masterpiece it felt like it could have been in the first few pages. Told from the perspective of a(…)
The Long Earth by Terry Pratchett and Stephen Baxter
Combining the fantastical imagination of Terry Pratchett with the sci-fi skills of Stephen Baxter, The Long Earth is a great new addition to the world
I, Partridge by Steve Coogan review
Steve Coogan has been a comedy legend for more than 20 years and I, Partridge brings the entire length and indeed breadth of his career together in the life and times of his most famous character, Alan Partridge. From glorious birth to slight North Norfolk Radio celebrity, its filled with laughs on every page and(…)

Day 3: Moment. Pick one moment during which you felt most alive this year. Describe it in vivid detail (texture, smells, voices, noises, colors). (Author: Ali Edwards)
I have sat here for about fifteen minutes and am quite ashamed to say that I honestly can't pinpoint one moment where I felt most alive this year. Not saying that I haven't had those moments....I just can't think of one specifically. There have been several of those "I feel so alive" moments for me. And sense I appreciate every single one of them I don't think it would be fair to blog about one over the other. Some of them involved being with my daughter, others my friends, one or two involved my cat. Others involved me and me alone. Over the past year I have learned not to take things for granted. Appreciate things in your life...no matter how small or insignificant. You don't know for sure how long you'll be around to enjoy them. Enjoy everything while you can....live with no regrets. Love without shame. There is no substitute for true joy.
Day 4: Wonder. How did you cultivate a sense of wonder in your life this year? (Author: Jeffrey Davis)
I think I answered this in Day 1's post. Honestly though....once again I spent a lot of the year in wonder. Wondering about my life and the direction I want to take it. I have joined the 43things website in order to harness all those things that I would like to accomplish in my life. I'm also looking at completing several blog challenges in the coming year in order to harness a better understanding of my own life and why I do some of the things I do. I'm tired of doing the day to day routine. I'm honestly a bit bored with my life. If you would like to read more about me and the essence of the word Wonder....go back to Day 1...you'll see a bit more there.
Day 5: Let Go. What (or whom) did you let go of this year? Why? (Author: Alice Bradley)
This year I did my absolute best to let go of negative people in my life. I realized that in order to improve the quality of my own life and to stop being so negative about my own decisions that I had to cut out the negativity in my life from outside sources. One person I have completely let go of and another I have minimized my contact with considerably. The one person I cut out completely was just too draining on my mental and emotional resources. She is a seriously co-dependant individual and needed constant validation on almost everything that she did. She would insist on hanging things that she did for me and my family over my head on a fairly consistent basis. I just reached a point where I couldn't deal with it anymore. So I quit dealing with it. We broke off the friendship after something she did negatively affected the well being of my child...that was the final straw for me. We talk occasionally through text messages. Nothing more involved than a "Hi, how are you?" but I've set down the ground rules in the fact that we will no longer be more than casual aquaintances. We're both happy with that.
The other person that I have let go of is someone that I'm still very close to. What I've let go of with this person is the way that their personal opinion on things impact me. This is someone that has something to say about everything and I used to let it bother me on a deep emotional level. I had become co-dependant on her for the longest time. And when I let go of the other person, I realized that I had some of the same attributes in myself that I had grown to dislike in the other person. So I put myself under the microscope. I realized that I wasn't being my own person...that I was allowing her opinions to have more hold over my thoughts than my own. I had to stop doing that.
It's a work in progress though....things like these take time you know.

MCO, MSFT & SGEN - Outperforming, Cash-Rich Stocks
Financial analysts and reports toss around the term 'bubble' too often to count, especially when markets see a rally like that over the last few trading days. But should investors be concerned stocks are inflated right now? As Yahoo! Finance reports, The New Yorker's James Surowiecki doesn't think so. He sees healthy corporate profits as a sign that the market's current valuation is relatively accurate, especially when foreign earnings of US corporations are taken into account. Simply put, earnings are at record levels.
With that in mind, we searched for companies that have exceptional levels of cash on hand. We took a universe of stocks and looked at balance sheets for cash holdings that exceed more than four quarters of average operating expenses. With such large cash cushions, the companies in question could run operations (on average) for more than four quarters without earning any substantial profits.
With the results from that screen, we then looked for those that have outperformed over the last quarter, with over 20% return.
Next, we looked for positive trends in accounts receivable, comparing growth in revenue to growth in accounts receivable. Since accounts receivable is the portion of revenue not yet received, and there is no guarantee the money will ever be received, the smaller the portion of revenue made up of receivables the healthier the company's total revenue.We screened for companies seeing faster growth in revenue than accounts receivable year-over-year, as well as accounts receivable comprising a smaller portion of current assets over the same time period. We were left with three companies on our list. The List These stocks have not only done well in the rally, but may have enough resources to protect themselves if the bubble fears come true. Do you think these stocks will continue to outperform? Use the list below as a starting point for your own analysis.

Company Law
This course provides students with an integrated understanding of the body of legal rules which regulate companies in Australia. Topics covered include the management and control of companies; the process by which companies transact; and the process by which companies are both initiated and brought to an end. Detailed consideration is also given to the notion of corporate personality; the means by which companies can be financed; and the rights of creditors, shareholders and other stakeholders. The rules regulating other business structures, including partnerships, are also considered.
In addition to detailed knowledge of this complex area of law, this course also provides students with an understanding of the principles and assumptions which underlie the way companies are regulated in Australia; the social and economic implications of this approach to corporate regulation; and the potential implications of challenging these theoretical assumptions. Contemporary developments in Company Law are considered in this light, and the implications of these developments for professional practice are explored.

Tony's Tavern holds on for 10-9
victory over PbrApr 6, 2014
Tony's Tavern returned to the
field on Sunday after 2 weeks off ready to face a tough Pbr team. Both
teams watched the thunderstorms in the area and looked for a break in the
weather to play a quality game of lax.
Tony's took the early lead 5-2
going into the 2nd quarter. Pbr would rally their offense and trail 6-4 at
halftime. Both teams would fight through the mud in the 2nd half for tough
groundballs and opportunties. Tony's would maintain their 2 goal advantage
at 8-6 going into the final frame.
Pbr put together a good run on
offense and tied the game up 9-9 with less than 5 minutes to go. Tony's
would take advantage of a unsettled opportunity and Guterman would find Jee for
the game winning goal to make it 10-9. Pbr took a time out with under 2
minutes left to go in the game, but Tony's would come together on Defense led by
Blahut between the pipes making some great saves and getting some help from
Daniels, Prochaska, Moss, Stowe, Horine and Rumsey that worked as a great unit
to preserve the win.
The midfield played tough
between the boxes all day with Glass, Glass Jr., Shainsky, Guterman, Horine,
Adams, and Bull playing tough defense and moving the ball on offense. Moss
had a great day at the face-off X grinding out a lot of possessions.
Blahut led the defense with longpoles Daniels, Prochaska and Stowe doing the
work to keep the attackmen working for shots. Fullerton, Jee, and Rumsey
combined for 8 goals and 4 assists to finish transition opportunties on the
attack end.
Thanks to the fans that came
to support the team in the rain. Tony's looks to a double header weekend
with games against Corpus Christi & Austin lacrosse Club next weekend.
Tony's Tavern comes up with rainy
day win over Htown Mar 2, 2014
Tony's Tavern returned from
Mardi Gras tournament and took on a good squad in Htown lacrosse. Both
teams agreed to fight through the elements and get a good Sunday game of lax on
the books.
Tony's took the early lead 3-0
on goals from Clagett, Fullerton and Jee. Htown would gain some momentum
after that and put some goals together. Tony's was leading 7-4 going into
half. Tony's would tighten up on defense and get the transition game
offense going outscoring Htown 10-3 in the 2nd half of play. Fullerton,
Jee and Shainsky all had big days tallying 3 or more goals each. Nate
Daniels was a clearing machine and contributed on many of the fast break goals
during the game.
The middies and defense forced
Htown into tough shots all day led by Blahut and Markeloff between the pipes
with long poles: Daniels, Bauer, Bumby, Prochaska, and Smith forcing poor shots
all day. Clagett and Moss took care of business on the face-off X either
gaining possession or tying it up. Shainsky, Glass, Glass Jr., Guterman,
Rumsey, McGraw were the workhorses between the boxes on offense and defense.
Thanks to the fans that came
to support the team in the rain. Thanks to Htown for braving the weather
to make the game and we look forward
to another match-up later this spring. The team will turn around and play
next Sunday against Adrenaline.
Andy joins Tony's after
playing goalie at Drexel University from 2005-2010, a Top 25
NCAA Division I program in Philadelphia. He played in a handful
of games in his years at Drexel as the top reserve to two
All-American goalies. Andy is a graduate of the The Boys' Latin
School in Baltimore, MD where he was the starting goalie on the
third-ranked high school team in the nation in 2005. He was also
a starting lineman on the football team which won three MIAA
Championships in a row. Academically, he finished in the top 3
of his graduating class and was also the recipient of the
school's Scholar-Athlete award.

Dining at Universal Orlando
There are four major dining areas within the Universal Orlando resort: inside the Universal Studios Florida theme park; inside the Islands of Adventure theme park; the CityWalk retail, entertainment and dining district; and at the Universal Orlando resort hotels. We'll discuss each of these separately.
Universal Studios Florida restaurants are not as good as their Disney theme park peers. Most Studios counter service restaurants serve unappetizing versions of tired theme park staples such as hamburgers, chicken strips, pizza and pasta. Universal has started making some strides by closing down the park's worst counter service location – the International Food & Film Festival – and in its place put up the fantastically themed Fast Food Boulevard. Besides the hilarious menus themselves (taste-tested by writers of the Simpsons television show), Fast Food Boulevard contains items you can't get anywhere else in the park including a pulled pork sandwich, a chicken & waffle sandwich, along with tater tots and seasoned curly fries instead of the normal French fries served everywhere else. Thanks in large part to Lisa's Teahouse of Horror, Fast Food Boulevard also has several options for the vegetarians and vegans in your party outside of the ubiquitous garden salad. Springfield USA also has the new Bumblebee Man's Taco Truck, Lard Lad Donuts, and Duff Brewery, all great additions to the park.
Sandwiches at the Beverly Hills Boulangerie and San Francisco Pastry Company are often as cold and damp as a fall morning off the California coast. Universal offers a pre-paid quick service Universal Dining Plan for both theme parks, but it's not worth the money. Richter's serves decent upscale burgers, and Lombard's Seafood Grille is our recommendation for sit-down meals.
The best food in the park can be found at Leaky Cauldron. Diagon Alley's flagship restaurant, the Leaky Cauldron serves authentically hearty British pub fare like bangers and mash, cottage pie, toad in the hole, Guinness stew, and a ploughman's platter for two of scotch eggs and imported cheeses. When you're done, head over to Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour for some delicious Butterbeer ice cream.
Our advice is eat at Fast Food Boulevard or Leaky Cauldron, but if the lines are too long, stick to simple snacks such as a hot dog, which doesn't take much time or money, or leave the Studios for lunch at either CityWalk or a resort hotel.
Dining at Islands of Adventure is better. The Three Broomsticks, a counter-service restaurant in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, serves Boston Market-style rotisserie chicken, plus fish & chips, shepherd's pie, and barbecued ribs. The Hog's Head Pub, attached to Broomsticks, serves beer, wine, mixed drinks and more. The most popular drink in IOA is surely Butterbeer, though. While the outdoor Butterbeer carts regularly have long lines, consider going into the Hog's Head where they also serve Butterbeer and there is generally little-to-no wait (it's also indoors, which you'll appreciate even more after spending some time under the Florida sun).
We also like the gyros at Fire-Eater's Grill and the ribs at Thunder Falls Terrace. Almost all of the other IOA counter-service places serve some variation of burgers, chicken, pizza or pasta, and while your superhero-loving kids are going to be drawn towards Marvel Island's Café 4, and Captain America Diner as if the Pied Piper himself was leading them to it, avoid both as there are much better places to eat. Finally, we wouldn't be doing our job unless we told you to avoid eating the green eggs at the Green Eggs & Ham Cafe. They make a much better photo opportunity than meal.
Islands of Adventure has two sit-down restaurants: Confisco Grille in the Port of Entry and Mythos Restaurant in The Lost Continent. Confiscos is fine for pizza and drinks. Some of the spices used in the appetizers, such as the hummus, are unusual. Not bad, just different. Mythos is not a Greek restaurant, despite its name. Rather, like a typical Applebee's or Chili's, it serves a something-for-everyone menu including Italian risotto, Asian noodles, and Mexican fish tacos. Basic American steaks and burgers are also available and the pad thai seems to be a big hit with everyone who has tried it.
Diners with dietary restrictions will be happy to see that Mythos has more options for vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free diners than almost any other Universal restaurant.
CityWalk is Universal's dining, shopping and entertainment district, the equivalent of Disney's Downtown Disney. Many of the restaurants' menus are, again, similar to Applebee's or Chili's. Given the average entree from the Hard Rock Cafe Orlando, NASCAR Sports Grille, Pastamore, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, or NBA City, it would be difficult for a blindfolded diner to be certain from which restaurant it came. That blindfolded diner would probably guess that any plate with shrimp on it had a decent chance of coming from the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company, but there's little else of note on its menu. Sports fans will be glad to know that the NASCAR Sports Grille is loaded with TVs covering every sport, similar to the ESPN Club at Disney's Boardwalk.
The best choice for non-ethnic food at CityWalk is Emeril's Restaurant Orlando. We also like the Bob Marley and Pat O'Brien's restaurants for drinks and music. While reservations are generally not needed at Universal, you can use OpenTable.com to book a table at most of the sit down restaurants in CityWalk and at theme parks (including Mythos and Lombard's Seafood Grille).
The best of the sit-down restaurants at Universal's resort hotels is The Palm Restaurant, an upscale steakhouse in the Hard Rock Hotel. If you're in the mood for Italian, try BiCE at the Portofino (expensive) or Mama Della's Ristorante (moderate), also at the Portofino. Asian food is the specialty at Universal's Royal Pacific, where Emeril Lagasse's Tchoup Chop is the top destination. Probably because they handle a lot of convention traffic, menu prices at Universal's resort hotels tend to be higher than you might expect.
Dress is informal at all theme park restaurants and in CityWalk's restaurants. At upscale resort restaurants such as Hard Rock's Palm Restaurant or Emeril's Tchoup Chop, "resort casual" wear is appropriate (but not required) for dinner: khakis, dress slacks, jeans or dress shorts with a collared shirt for men and capris, skirts, dresses, jeans and dress shorts for women.
Food Allergies and Special Requests
For sit-down meals, if you have food allergies or observe some kind of specific diet like eating kosher, make your needs known when you make your dining reservation and again when your waiter introduces himself at your table. The waitstaff or chef will be able to tell you the kinds of accommodations the kitchen is prepared to make for your meal.
Accommodating dietary needs is more difficult at fast food places, since the staff may not be as familiar with the menu's ingredients or preparation. When our vegetarians and vegans have doubts about menu descriptions, their strategy is usually to default to the simplest, most-likely-to-be-acceptable item.
Character Meals
Universal offers one character breakfast, held from 8:30 to 10:30 am at Cafe La Bamba in Universal Studios. Nickelodeon characters as well as characters from the film Despicable Me are usually present, and diners are admitted into the park up to an hour before regular park guests. Cost is $27 for adults and $11 for children, plus tax. You'll also need park admission.
Universal characters show up for dinner at the resort hotels on select nights each week. The cast of characters changes frequently and it's possible to see the same characters in different restaurants during the same week. It's common to see Scooby Doo and Shaggy from the Scooby Doo cartoons, Shrek, Woody Woodpecker or characters from The Simpsons at these evening meals.
You'll find characters at the Portofino Bay Hotel on Friday nights from 6:30 to 9:30 pm. Characters also make appearances at The Kitchen at Hard Rock Hotel on Saturdays from 6 to 9 pm and at the Islands Dining Room at the Royal Pacific Resort on Monday and Wednesday nights from 6:30 to 9:30 pm.

Space applications are becoming an increasingly important part of everyday life. Weather forecasting, air traffic control, global communications and broadcasting, disaster management -- these and many other key activities would be almost unthinkable today without satellite technology. The space industry itself is relatively small compared to other manufacturing sectors, but its technological dynamism and strategic significance mean that it plays an ever more critical role in modern society.
Paradoxically, it also figures among the sectors which are the least developed in terms of robust, internationally comparable statistics and data. This book attempts to rectify that situation by assembling information from a wide range of official and non-official sources. Together these paint a richly detailed picture of the space industry, its downstream services activities, and its wider economic and social impacts. Who are the main space-faring nations? How large are revenues and how much employment is there in the sector? How much R&D goes on, and where? What is the value of spin-offs from space spending? Answers to these and other questions are provided in this first-ever OECD statistical overview of the emerging space economy.
A dynamic link (StatLink) is provided for graphs, which directs the user to a web page where the corresponding data are available in Excel® format.
