Did you get the boat?
I owned a 14.2 for quite some time. I can see the ease of use of the Expo, but the tradition OD fleet is nice.
One thing though. You want to drive a centerboard for a family boat? Everyone swims right?
I found my 14.2 to be fun at 8knots of wind. 10 knots and 1 captin and crew becomes necessary. 15 knots and 2 experienced sailors.
The 14.2 is fast, planes easy, and is a helluva lot of fun. It is a true racing dingy though, and should not be looked upon as a nice family daysailing cruiser.
Several people comment on how tender it is. I personally never turtled it. However, I filled the cockpit on a regular basis! I've personally clocked 9mph on the thing surfing, downwind, and I am not a racer, nor did I have it racing rigged.
14.2 with a keel? Different animal... Plus I'd strongly suggest more cockpit, like a 16.5... a 16.5 with a keel would be best, as long as launch ramp permits.

Tea Party Activism and The Religious Right's Unrequited Love
Even though the Religious Right can get no love from the Tea Party movement when it comes to adopting even a small part of their social agenda, it seems that Religious Right leaders are just tripping over themselves to speak at Tea Party rallies whenever the chance arises.
For instance, WallBuilders' Rick Green is speaking at a rally in Texas, and the Eagle Forum's Phyllis Schlafly is addressing an event in Michigan, while Ralph Reed is joining Bob Barr and Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, for a Tea Party rally in Atlanta.
On top of that, the AFA's Bryan Fischer is speaking at an event in Mississippi and Alan Keyes was at one in Ohio, while Vision America's Rick Scarborugh is speaking at an event in Oklahoma where he will share the microphone with Oklahoma state Senator Randy Brogdon, who is trying to create Tea Party militia to defend the state's sovereignty from federal encroachment.
So I think it is safe to say that the supposed efforts by Tea Party organizers to salvage their reputation by distancing the movement from the crazies was, at best, an isolated incident.

It might strike you as odd that an artist who plays multistringed instruments — such as the tres, a six-stringed Cuban guitar; and the cuatro, a four-stringed Venezuelan guitar — goes by the name Nil. But that doesn't mean Mr. Lara is synonymous with nada.
7221 SW 58th Ave.
South Miami, FL 33143
Category: Bars and Clubs
Region: South Dade
His heyday was back in the '90s, but this Cuban-American troubadour still keeps Miami's heart beating in 4/4 time. After signing with Capitol Records in 1995, touring with artists such as Lenny Kravitz, and showing up on soundtracks for TV shows like Scrubs, Lara is bringing it back to his home base. He's now playing small, local venues such as Bougie's, giving all the guajiros and sons a taste of his fusion tuneage. It'll make you want to sing, dance, and maybe even smoke a Habano.

Don Artes
The 2013 Baltimore Kidney Walk takes place this Sunday, May 5, at the Maryland Zoo. Read on as LifeBridge Health team member Don Artes shares his personal kidney transplant story, and please consider registering with the team here .
My name is Don Artes and I am a Pediatric Respiratory Care Practitioner here at Sinai Hospital. I have autosomal dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD). PKD is a genetic disorder characterized by the growth of many cysts on the kidney. These cysts can profoundly enlarge the kidneys resulting in reduced kidney function and eventual renal failure. I have been aware of my kidney disease for a long time, and have taken steps to help delay my renal failure by exercising, eating healthy, and monitoring my blood pressures.
In October 2011 I completed my first marathon, a Marine Corp Marathon, in honor of my older brother who died from complications surrounding his Polycystic Kidney Disease. Today I too am in renal failure, but have yet to require dialysis. To complicate issues, I will be having abdominal surgery in the near future for another medical condition. Because my kidneys are so large it has been decided that they need to be removed to provide adequate space to successfully complete my surgery and to improve my overall outcome. While this could be devastating for most individuals, I hopefully will have a bright future.
After a summer of recovery and dialysis I will be receiving a kidney transplant. My 23-year-old neighbor heard of my plight through my children and has generously offered to be a kidney donor. He has now completed the donor process through the University of Maryland Medical Center and is waiting for me to recover so he can give me the "gift of life."
So you see, I have many reasons to do this year's National Kidney Foundation 2013 Greater Baltimore Walk . While I have been an avid supporter of the Kidney Foundation through United Way I felt this year I needed take on a more active role.
Please join me and others this year to help fight kidney disease and make kidney transplants available for others. Sign up for the LifeBridge Health team here .

PayPal's Dilemma: Why It Needs eBay and Vice Versa
Polling eBay Shareholders
On Wednesday, Bernstein Research analyst Carlos Kirjner published a poll of 178 eBay investors that indicated investors were undecided on whether or not eBay should split its Marketplace and PayPal businesses.
Of those that responded, 51% said a split was not wise, while 43% supported a split. Nearly 30% of shareholders responded that Carl Icahn should get a board seat, while 55% said eBay's board composition should change. Sixty percent of respondents said unlocking PayPal's value was the best reason for a split.
"[We] are in the minority and are not convinced that there is indeed a large value creation opportunity simply from separating the businesses. We think there are multiple cross-subsidies between Marketplaces and PayPal and a cursory valuation of PayPal as a standalone entity often will fail to account for the potential elimination of these cross-subsidies," Kirjner said."In other words, the relationship between the pieces would be identical to today's and all we would get (again, in theory) is a valuation bump," the analyst concluded. Place Bid, Buy It Now At about the same time Swan took the stage at the Morgan Stanley conference, Reid Hoffman published an extremely supportive letter of eBay's current strategy and accused Icahn of focusing on short-term trading profits over long-term growth. "It's classic market exploitation," Hoffman wrote. By Thursday morning, Icahn responded. "We have not yet begun to fight," the activist wrote on a website he recently created to champion shareholder rights. In late February, Icahn filed a proxy solicitation to split PayPal from eBay and nominate two new directors to eBay's board at the company's annual shareholder meeting later in 2014. Sometimes, amid the cacophony of an activist campaign and a corporation digging in its heels, the narrative moves to tangential subject matter. In the eBay case, Icahn has identified two board members, venture capitalist Mark Andreessen and Intuit (INTU) founder Scott Cook and their perceived conflicts of interest as the flagpole for his campaign.
Icahn has painted both Andreessen and Cook as the Manchurian Candidates of eBay's board, who've used their seats to invest in competitors to PayPal. Icahn also accused Andreessen of self-dealing in eBay's sale of Skype to private equity firm Silver Lake Partners, a deal which his VC firm Andreessen Horowitz had a 3% stake that paid off handsomely when the business was sold 18-months later to Microsoft for $8.5 billion. EBay founder and Chairman Pierre M. Omidyar rejected those assertions earlier in March and Andreessen took to his blog to reject Icahn's claims. On Thursday, Andreessen categorically denied Icahn's allegations surrounding the Skype deal, which it is worth noting, eventually made money for eBay shareholders.
"Mr. Icahn is making up a fake conspiracy theory out of thin air," Andreessen wrote, citing a Wall Street Journal article that said Microsoft passed on Skype when eBay put it up for sale. Seventy percent of the business was sold to Silver Lake for $2.75 billion in 2009. In 2011, Silver Lake flipped Skype to Microsoft for $8.5 billion. EBay shares were gaining over 1% in Thursday trading at $59.48. Shares have gained over 11% in the past twelve months.

This is learning: trying one experiment, seeing that it doesn't work; trying an alternative, seeing that it doesn't work, the wise man drops it. The fool clings to it. The fool calls it consistency. The fool says, "I did it yesterday and I am going to do it today too. And I will do it tomorrow too." He is stubborn, pig-headed. He says, "How can I leave it? I have invested so much in it, I cannot change it." Then he goes on insisting on it and his whole life is wasted. And as death comes closer, he is desperate, he is hopeless. He knows perfectly well deep down in his guts that he is going to fail. He has failed so many times and he is still trying the same thing without learning anything at all. This creates neurosis.
The man who is capable of learning will never become neurotic. A disciple will never become neurotic. A disciple means one who is capable of learning. Never become knowledgeable; always be in the process of learning. Knowledgeability drives people neurotic. It is not just accidental that professors, philosophers, psychiatrists, scholars, easily go mad: they have learned and they have reached the conclusion that there is no more to learn. The moment you decide that there is no more to learn, you have stopped growing. To stop growing is neurosis - that is the second definition.
The world was very different in the past, obviously. About six weeks' worth of sensory stimuli six hundred years ago is what we now get in a day. Six weeks' worth of stimulation, information, we are getting in a single day - about forty times the pressure to learn and adapt. Modern man has to be capable of learning more than man has ever been before, because there is more to learn now. Modern man has to become capable of adapting to new situations every day because the world is changing so fast. It is a great challenge.
A great challenge, if accepted, will help tremendously in the expansion of consciousness. Either modern man is going to be utterly neurotic or modern man is going to be transformed by the very pressure. It depends on how you take it. One thing is certain: there is no way of going back. The sensory stimuli will go on increasing more and more. You will be getting more and more information and life will be changing, with faster and faster rhythms, and you will have to be capable to learn, to adapt, to new things.
In the past man lived in an almost static world. Everything was static: you would leave the world exactly as your father had left it to you. You would not have changed anything at all. Nothing was changed. There was no question of learning too much, a little bit of learning was enough. And then you had spaces in your mind, empty spaces, which helped people to remain sane. Now there is no more empty space.unless you create it deliberately.

Two words: Demi. Wire. We haven't seen one stateside in too long while, but with Stella's lovely Gwyneth Gazing the Parisian staple is back. Now, what's the fuss you may be asking? The delicate swooped wire that, in lieu of traditional hardwired U-cups, contours gracefully along the body, anchoring the band and giving the oomph and architecture that an underwire promises with all of the effortless comfort of a softbra. Look into our eyes and believe us when we say: you will love it.

The Fairways at Ko'olina provides residents with all the myriad benefits of resort living with plenty of peace, quiet and privacy. Ko'olina is located on the west end of the island of Oahu and features more acreage than Waikiki with none of the traffic and overcrowding. The resort is built around the Ted Robinson designed golf course and 4 pristine lagoons. Full of luxury dining options as well as ocean and outdoor events, Ko'olina is the perfect place to enjoy your dream island vacation.
Your home away from home is located here in the upscale Ko'olina Fairways. The Fairways is a classically designed community of condos nestled along the 2nd and 5th holes of the world class Ted Robinson designed golf course, the centerpiece of the Ko'olina Resort complex.
The 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo is a second floor unit with almost 1000 square feet of living area sitting atop the spacious two car garage in the center of the community. The community pool and hot tub is a stone's throw from the condo and features a barbecue grill and outdoor eating area, both of which can be reserved with a quick phone call.
Stroll to any one of the 5 crystal clear, white sand lagoons on the resort in a matter of minutes or take the complimentary golf cart and make use of the golf cart parking at any one of those lagoons.
The golf cart itself is a wonderful feature to the condo, whether playing at the beach or enjoying a spa day at the Ihilani by Mariott or the new Disney hotel. The golf cart can be driven safely anywhere on the resort and can easily tote those bulky beach items (coolers, sand toys, etc). You won't have to worry about finding parking on the weekend beach days or on a busy Friday evening at Roy's Restaurant – simply drive up and make use of the available golf cart parking
The condo itself is recently upgraded, spacious 3 bedroom design. The Master bedroom and bath are located to the rear of the unit and features a large mirrored closet, dresser and nightstands and large king sized bed.
The additional two bedrooms share the condo's second bathroom. One is equipped with a full sized bed and one with a queen. Each room is tastefully furnished with island themed décor which will contribute mightily to your laid back and relaxing vacation mindset.
The hardwood bamboo floors, kitchen tile and granite countertops are all recent upgrades and set this unit apart from similar Fairways units by adding a touch of sophistication without abandoning the breezy vacation lifestyle. The fully furnished kitchen and dining area offer a price conscious option to eating out every night. A large side by side refrigerator, oven and stovetop and all the basics necessities (coffee maker, toaster, blender, rice maker, silverware, pots & pans, etc) await your culinary efforts.
Finally, just because you're in paradise doesn't mean you have to forgo the luxuries of modern life; wireless internet (54.0 mbps), printer, scanner and fax capability, and a 42" 1080i HD TV with DVR all contribute to maximizing your full enjoyment of your stay with us!
The beautiful and exclusive resort at Ko'olina surrounds the Ko'olina vacation rental community and provides its residents access to all the amenities that a vacation paradise has to offer!

Canada adds whopping 95,000 jobs, more than half in Ontario; more students find work
Statistics Canada says the economy added 95,000 jobs in May, the biggest monthly increase in nearly a decade
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The Canadian economy delivered a "jaw-dropping" 95,000 new jobs in May, Statistics Canada reported Friday.
Almost all of the jobs were in the highly desirable full-time category, more than half were in Ontario, and even summer students got a break, according to the federal agency's data.
The spectacular gain pushed Canada's jobless rate down by one-tenth of a point to 7.1 per cent, the agency also said. It would have gone further, but more Canadians also rejoined the labour force, a sign of rising optimism about job prospects.
"Canadian employment shot the lights out in May, with a furious increase of 95,000 net new jobs, close to the largest single monthly gain on record," BMO chief economist Doug Porter wrote in a note to clients.
But economists also cautioned against reading too much into what has been a series of choppy monthly data. May's gain comes after several months of lacklustre job creation.
"While the headline is jaw-dropping, the six-month moving average for job creation is a more reasonable 19,000," Sonya Gulati, senior economist, with TD Economics, wrote in a note to clients.
Nearly half the jobs in May were in construction, a sector considered at risk as Canada's housing boom begins to cool.
Federal finance minister Jim Flaherty said May's figures are a sign the government's policies are working.
"What's more important is the positive long-trend when it comes to employment in Canada. Since the depth of global recession, we have seen Canada's job market steadily record solid gains — the best record among all G-7 countries," Flaherty said in a statement.
"We now have over one million net new jobs created since the depth of the recession in July 2009," he noted.
But he cautioned Canada continues to face global headwinds.
"We can't be complacent — we are still facing a very volatile global economy. Canada is not immune to these challenges from beyond our border and we will be impacted," Flaherty added.
More than half the jobs — 51,000 — in May were created in Ontario as unemployment in the province fell to its lowest level since November, 2008.
The jobless rate in Ontario was 7.3 per cent, down 0.4 percentage points, in May.
Across Canada, all the gains in May were in the private sector, offsetting losses in this group during the previous two months
Nearly half the hiring occurred in the construction sector, which created 43,000 jobs.
In a sign the summer job market may not be as weak as in prior years, the economy created 54,400 jobs for people age 15 to 24 years. The jobless rate in that age group fell nearly a full percentage point to 13.6 per cent.
Retail and wholesale trade created 27,000 jobs in May.
"Other services," such as repair and maintenance or private household services, created 22,000 jobs.
The business, building and other support services category also made gains.
Youths and older employees both landed more jobs, while employment for those ages 25 to 54 was little changed.
The U.S. economy created 175,000 jobs in May, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said Friday, a pace economists described as modest.
The unemployment rate rose 0.1 percentage points from April to 7.6 per cent as more Americans joined the labour force, generally considered a sign of optimism about economic conditions.
The pace is below the six month average of 208,000 jobs, noted Paul Ferley, deputy chief economist at RBC Economics. It suggests U.S. employers were feeling cautious in the face of forced expenditure cuts that came into effect March 1.
Ferley said he expects that cautiousness to ease through the second half of the year.
"The U.S. labor market continues to recover. All in, the May report was decent but not fabulous," BMO economist Jennifer Lee wrote in a note to clients.
Most of the jobs were created in professional and business services, food services and drinking places and retail trade.
The average workweek was unchanged at 34.5 hours. Average hourly earnings in the private nonfarm sector were also little changed at $23.89.

RAMAT GAN, ISRAEL -- (Marketwired) -- 05/30/14 -- The SureMote smartphone universal remote app -- the first designed to be both easy to use and fully customizable right from the phone -- will be demo'ed a Computex. [See demo video here: http://youtu.be/--86xsJVA74] SureMote from Tekoia controls smart media streaming devices and legacy appliances using either WiFi or the phone's infrared (IR) capability, all from the same app. The SureMote Computex demo (NANGANG Sky Dome -- booth# 0436) highlights the LG SmartTV and its media streaming capabilities, as well as controlling infrared appliances, such as Apple TV and the iRobot Roomba vacuum.

A typical family has four old remotes which are hard to use, non-standard and only control a limited number of devices each. Considering that remote controls were first introduced by Nikola Tesla in 1898, these devices have not made much progress in more than a century. Developing a universal remote app that is easy to use, hard to lose and works with WiFi and infrared has been a surprisingly hard problem.
Today, with the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT), the SureMote smartphone universal remote app is poised to control almost everything in your house starting with legacy IR appliances as well the new generation of WiFi-driven smart appliances. Using proprietary technology developed by Tekoia, SureMote runs on Android devices and is a platform for development of additional Smart Living functions needed for the IoT.
The SureMote design followed the principle of "Do Not Make Me Think," to create a smartphone remote app that revolutionizes the remote control user experience.
"SureMote is taking the legacy problems of remotes and moving to the future, where the Internet of Things will be controlling so many devices in the home," said Viktor Ariel, founder and CEO, Tekoia. "With SureMote we are focusing on innovation in the user experience and innovative communication technology to create a universal smartphone remote app designed from a user's point of view. We do not see the remote as an afterthought so the design is appealing. It is a painkiller solution for both appliance makers and users."
Features of the SureMote smartphone remote app
The SureMote universal remote app:
- Will be available from the PlayStore in July, 2014
- Works as is with smartphones, no additional hardware necessary
- Runs on Android devices with iOS version coming later this year
- Is a standards-based solution supporting UPnP as the main communication protocol, OIPF command set and a secure encryption layer
- Includes a new and easy-to-use interface with novel controls like the keyboard, mouse, gyro and voice to make it a fully functioning, easy-to-navigate remote
About Tekoia
Tekoia is pioneering a new platform for remote control that puts users in the center of the remotely-controlled universe. Tekoia's Smart Universal Remote (SURE) platform connects between users, appliances and vendors.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

That implies that everything is on the Internet, and that simply should not be - especially for things that are blurring the line between medical devices that stimulate like a pacemaker and quantified self-sensors like a pedometer or pulse tracker.

THE prolonged boom in Malaysia has produced its millionaires. But they remain a minority, and few of them carry their wealth in cash. So when Muhammad Muhammad Taib, a leading politician, was stopped at Brisbane airport in Australia last December with just short of $1m in Singapore, Malaysian and New Zealand banknotes, people noticed. Mr Muhammad denies any wrongdoing. But on April 14th he stepped down as the top official in the state of Selangor. That he has had to go despite his protestations of innocence has led some to hope that the Malaysian government might finally be cracking down on the spread of "money politics".
Mr Muhammad's difficulties stem from an Australian law requiring overseas travellers to declare currency exceeding A$5,000 ($3,900) when they leave. He is accused of omitting to complete this formality. A political colleague said at the time he had been told the money was for shopping. Mr Muhammad then denied this, saying it belonged to his brothers and was destined for an abortive property purchase. Nevertheless, Malaysia's own Anti-Corruption Agency (ACA) started an investigation.
On April 11th, the Australian authorities said Mr Muhammad would face a second charge—of making a false currency declaration on entering the country. Meanwhile, a Brisbane newspaper, which Mr Muhammad has threatened to sue, claimed he and his wife owned several million dollars-worth of property in Queensland. There followed a meeting of the supreme council of Mr Muhammad's party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO), which dominates the governing coalition. Mr Muhammad said he resigned as chief minister of Selangor to spare UMNO embarrassment. But, curiously, he has not relinquished his post as one of the party's three vice-presidents, which still makes him one of Malaysia's most powerful politicians.
Even senior UMNO members have long acknowledged that "money politics" is a scourge. It was enough, in fact, to make Mahathir Mohamad, the party president and prime minister, weep when he addressed UMNO's congress last October. His tearful address to the party faithful, lamenting the rise of corruption, helped secure the election of some of his supporters to UMNO's top bodies. But did it also signal the beginning of a real clean-up?
Probably not. Mr Muhammad is one of nine politicians under investigation by the ACA. But it is widely believed in Malaysia that the relationship between politics and business is far more pervasive than that would suggest. Chandra Muzaffar, a prominent social critic, says that businessmen and politicians enjoy a "symbiotic relationship". Business funds election campaigns, and expects to be rewarded later.
Mr Muzaffar hopes that Mr Muhammad's case will lead to some sort of "catharsis". But others believe he is paying the price for having been too flamboyant, ambitious and controversial. Women's groups have attacked Selangor's liberal polygamy laws; others resented its "politicising" an American pop-singer, Michael Jackson, by banning one of his concerts last year; and Dr Mahathir himself was displeased when, on a helicopter ride, he spotted a hillside which had been flattened in disregard of planning rules, but with the knowledge of the state government.
The small political opposition is claiming some credit for having forced Mr Muhammad to resign, by keeping the issue alive. But Dr Mahathir, for all his zeal in fighting corruption, is also one of the staunchest critics of those who argue that a western-style opposition can keep a ruling party honest. Asked if the opposition could take any credit for hounding Mr Muhammad from office, he scoffed: "Who cares about the opposition?"

[VIDEO] 'Glee' Salutes Whitney Houston In 'Heart' Episode With 'I Will Always Love You'
When the special Valentine's Day episode of Glee (which airs tonight on FOX) was put together, there was no way of predicting the tragic end to the life of Whitney Houston which occurred Saturday. So it's only by chance that Whitney's classic I Will Always Love You appears in the episode as sung by Amber "Mercedes" Riley.
FOX released the following statement yesterday:
Purely coincidentally, the episode contains Mercedes (Amber Riley) singing "I Will Always Love You," the Dolly Parton song Houston made famous in "The Bodyguard." The producers have decided to dedicate the episode to Houston's memory with a card in the end credits.
Amber Riley told E! Online:
It's such a song that's so close to my heart and it's very challenging vocally. [But] I went for it and it's very, I guess, befitting that we're doing it this Tuesday. We were celebrating her in life when we recorded and now, we're celebrating her legacy.
Will you be tuning in tonight?

Student Loan Debt Bad? It's Much Worse for Women
"There's been a lot of attention paid to student loan indebtedness but very little focus has been put to the way debt impacts men and women differently," AAUW director and report co-author, Catherine Hill, told Forbes.
At the same time women suffer a pay gap after graduation, women are in greater need of a college education to ensure better career options and salary prospects.
A study by Ohio State University in the journal Gender & Society this year revealed that men without a college degree have better chances of finding a job (and a better-paying one at that) than women. The study also found that women were more likely to take out loans than men -- with 40% of women and 34% of men taking out loans annually.
"At least early in their careers, women suffer more than men if they don't have a college degree," said Rachel Dwyer, co-author of the study and associate professor of sociology at Ohio State University, in a press release. "Women will go deeper in debt to finance college because they need the degree more than men if they want to earn a good living. Men will drop out at lower levels of debt."

Geneva debuts Model S Wireless, phases out Model S
Geneva has announced its Model S Wireless ($300), an updated version of the company's Model S speaker. The new Model S Wireless removes the 30-pin dock from the top of the speaker, replacing the Apple-specific connector with more broadly compatible Bluetooth streaming capability. It features two full-range 3" drivers, a digital FM radio and digital clock.
Geneva's Sound System Model S Wireless comes in white, black, or red, each including a metal table stand. It is available now, and the prior Model S has dropped in price, apparently on its way to discontinuation.

Want new blog posts sent straight to your inbox?
I've been focusing on my family for the past fourteen months.
I stopped posting on the blog during the summer of last year not due to a lack of interest, but a lack of time. Time during the day. Time left alive. I'm 29 — most of my friends and family (my wife) have already turned 30. For the first time in my life, I hear a ticking clock.
I've lost well over 100 pounds. I wear a large shirt — the days of XXXXL are long gone. I can fit into restaurant booths. I don't feel like I'm being gawked at every time I leave the house. I'm already married, so I don't need to worry about attracting the ladies.
So, why should I continue to lose …
I weigh 269 pounds — down from 344 pounds — up from 199.
I turned 28 last Friday.
My wife and I are staying in Myrtle Beach all this week to celebrate my birthday, as well as my wedding anniversary (which is today!). I'll let you decide which one of those we're celebrating more.
I've been burning lots of calories playing with my …
I haven't stepped onto this scale in over a month.
The desire and motivation to lose weight has always been there, but so have 12 hour days at the office and 3-straight weeks of rainy, "stay inside and eat snacks with my daughter while watching Dora" weather.

Lam, David, and Leticia Marteleto. 2006. "A Escolaridade das Crianças Brasileiras durante a Transicão Demográfica: Aumento no Tamanho da Coorte versus Diminuicão no Tamanho da Família." Pesquisa e Planejamento Econômico (PPE), 36(2): 319-341.
This paper analyzes the effects of changing age structure and family size on schooling in Brazil. Cohorts born before 1982 were born during a period of falling family size but increasing cohort size. We show that the growth of the school-aged population peaked around 1990, coinciding with the onset of increasing enrollment rates in the 1990s. Pooling household survey data from 1977 to 1999, we estimate the effect of family size, cohort growth, and parental schooling on school enrollment. All have effects in the predicted directions, with the combined variables explaining over 70% of increased enrollment over the period.
