Luke 1:26-38, 47-55
At Christmas even the most Protestant among us can be drawn to the contemplation of Mary. It seems right to recall her humble courage, her receiving and carrying and giving birth, and her joy as she sang of the saving work of God.
Advent is the season for leveling and upsetting
The text for our meditation is Luke 3:3-5 (NRSV): "Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, . .
John 1:6-8, 19-28
Although Mark seems to find it right that Jesus of Nazareth should have been among those who heeded John's preaching, the three other evangelists appear concerned over the suggestion that Jesus was in some way a disciple of this other preacher.
Mark 1:1-8; 2 Peter 3:8-15a; Isaiah 40:1-11; Psalm 85:1-2, 8-13
"The beginning of the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." Like a starter's pistol, this brief first verse rings out and Mark's narrative is off and running. We may take the chain of phrases in this verbless sentence simply as a title, the announcement of what follows—the title and then immediately the headlong story.
Isaiah 64:1-9; 1 Corinthians 1:3-9; Mark 13:24-37
"Stir up your power O Lord, and come . . ." This traditional prayer for the First Sunday in Advent begins with urgent entreaty. There is no delay for caressing words of prayerful invocation; rude as a wakening alarm, we call for God to get moving. For now, it appears to be the sluggishness of God's heart that is in question. It is God's Spirit that first needs stirring to action.
Stay awake! Be ready!
It is generally not a good idea to refer to one's children in sermon or print, but I've concluded that when it comes to grandchildren, such rules are suspended. Rachel goes to Cardinal Bernardin School in Chicago, and as her mother was putting her to bed one night last year during Advent, she asked Rachel if she had learned any new songs at school recently.
The hard job of discernment
It's going to be a long Advent. We stepped into the deep violet darkness and have been on the alert ever since, not only for the coming of our Savior, but also for further assaults from our largely unseen enemies. Two mysterious objects thus appear on the same radar screen: the mystery of redemption and the mystery of evil, both pushing our powers of analysis beyond their limits.

August 19, 2011
Dear Faculty, Staff, and Students:
College Updates
Congratulations to Dr. Michael Lairmore, new Dean at the University of California-Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. Michael has been a wonderful asset to Ohio State, serving most recently as Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Studies. We are very proud of Dr. Lairmore and wish him well on this great opportunity and thank him for all that he has done for the College of Veterinary Medicine and The James. He has a long list of accomplishments, including member of the National Academy of Sciences, serving two terms as chair of the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, as well as Associate Director for Shared Resources at Comprehensive Cancer Center. He has a tremendous list of research accomplishments, as well as many awards and other accolades. The news release from UC-Davis offers many details.
At the College of Veterinary Medicine, we pride ourselves in preparing leaders for the veterinary profession. Michael's achievement is a wonderful example of the tremendous reputation the college has for developing and preparing leaders. In addition to Michael, and Dr. Jean Sander, who recently left to lead the Oklahoma State University School of Veterinary Medicine, Ohio State alumni lead two other colleges of Veterinary Medicine: Dr. Kent Hoblet is at Mississippi State, and Dr. Glen Hoffsis is at the University of Florida. We will continue to develop administrative and scientific leaders as part of the college's contribution to veterinary medicine.
Our College of Veterinary Medicine Peloton will be riding tomorrow, August 20 in the third annual Pelotonia event. All money raised goes to support cancer research at Ohio State. College of Veterinary Medicine researchers have several fellowships provided through Pelotonia funding. Dr. Amit Sharma, a PhD graduate student working in the lab of Dr. Kathy Boris-Lawrie, David White Professor in Veterinary Biosciences, and Dr. Jim DeWille, professor in the Department of Veterinary Biosciences, have both received grants. Thanks to College Peloton co-captains Dr. Michelle Harcha and Dr. Michael Lairmore for their efforts encouraging participation in the event and for the fundraising efforts this past week. You can cheer on the riders on the Drake bridge tomorrow morning in the company of bagpipers from the Capital City Pipes and Drums. Be here by 7 a.m. to see the first riders pedaling down Olentangy River Road (Check out our web page for suggested driving directions.)
Every three years, the college has a major audit. This is not too exciting – but nevertheless, a very important event. We gain insights into how well the college operates and performs. Thanks to all of you involved in collecting data, meeting with the auditors, and responding to their questions. The college had one of the strongest audit reports on campus, and we were complimented on our work, compliance, controls, and regulations. It is the little things, done right, that accumulate over time that truly make this college so exceptional. Thanks goes to Judy Kleen and Renne Komula, chief financial officers in the college, for their collaboration to make this process so successful.
I want to acknowledge our new College of Veterinary Medicine chorus. Thanks to Kate Hayes-Ozello for starting this group. What a great way to build community in the college, plus enjoy some new music. We look forward to musical events in the future.
State and National Issues
Several members of the Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine traveled to Washington, D. C. to conduct our first workshop on Regulatory Sciences. Twenty-two federal employees participated at the Ohio State Washington, D. C. office on Capitol Hill. The topic this year was Animal Welfare, which included a case study on the Ohio Livestock Care Standards Board. Thanks to Dr. Candace Croney for her excellent presentation, and Dr. Bill Saville for his participation. We also welcomed partners from the University of Minnesota: Dr. Will Hueston, Global Initiative for Food Systems Leadership, and College of Veterinary Medicine Dean Trevor Ames.
We are planning to expand these sorts of workshops and courses to a possible certificate program or even a professional master's degree to further train and prepare state and federal employees in animal and public health. Expanding knowledge and changing public opinions require additional study to make complex decisions at the interface of science and public policy.
Campus Updates and Partnerships
The College of Medicine has a new dean, Dr. Charles Lockwood from Yale University. We met recently to begin building better connections between our colleges. He is impressed by our work so far bringing together the seven health sciences colleges for better collaborations in the future.
The summer is quickly coming to a close. My wife Sylvia and I had the opportunity to take a few days and visit our grandchildren in Georgia. They are four and two years old, and they certainly change very quickly. It was great to be involved with their activities and busy lives, and I managed to sneak in a few rounds of golf, as well. I hope you all have had – or will have - the chance for a little R & R before the summer is gone.
Dean Lonnie King

Marvel Studios may be planning more MCU for the small screen

Re: Marvel Studios may be planning more MCU for the small screen
Yeah Punisher, when done right can be like what Dexter could have been - the titular character taking bad guys down with extreme prejudice. They can even update his origin, make him a Gulf War Vet, still bring in the mob or whatever. Get the 'revenge' out of the way in the pilot or just do it in flashbacks and he's punishing every violent criminal.
I would really try to do a Marvel Knights-esque set of shows - all a bit more... not so squeaky-Disney clean. Far more "Miramax" than "Buena Vista". Punisher would be super super easy to do. Don't need complex sets or anything, just lots of fake blood, squibs and blanks and cool weapons - I'd change the model a bit by giving him some skull themed blades or skull deco on some of the guns, downplay the skull on the shirt a bit. I mean he can still wear it, but in the MCU other than Captain America so far, every other 'super hero' is basically in a far more subtle version of their usual thing.
Then do a Daredevil series set in the same 'universe' blind lawyer who's also a night time vigilante could be pretty cool and for him I would adapt the Affleck Movie costume - I mean really running around in red tights would be cheesy as hell - but at least the red motorcycle suit looked more 'like he ordered it online'.
From there I wouldn't even mind seeing Cloak and Dagger as a series - would give you a cute girl lead and a black kid lead so no one would bitch about Marvel being all lily white - okay so you have a lily white girl in Tandy Bowen, but you could probably change her to latino IF you really had to, as long as she's blonde and pale and stuck up LOL. Although honestly I think it would be a perfect vehicle for say Molly C Quinn (Alexis Castle) but it really couldn't be on ABC at all - otherwise people will go 'when did Alexis become a super hero?) but I think she's got lead potential and she's already in Disney/ABC's wheelhouse. And she's got a fit bod that could look like she's a ballet dancer and came from a upper crust home. Just make her more blonde than red or have the blonde be a wig she wears when she's in costume. Cloak could really be any one honestly, since I think it would work best if the cloak was CGI most of the time. Deal with drug dealers, human trafficking, down and dirty stuff.
And then from there I would go full on Heroes for Hire - introduce Misty Knight, Colleen Wing, Shang-Chi, Luke Cage and Iron Fist and then have her 'hire' Punisher and Daredevil and Cloak and Dagger from time to time - sorta make H for H the 'Avengers' of the small series.

Andalucia is at the Southern point of Spain and includes the popular package holiday destination of the Costa del Sol where amongst many others the seaside towns of Torremolinos and Fuengirola are found. English is spoken widely here and there are many attractions including waterparks and a Zoo. However, travel inland to our locality and much of this commercialism is left behind yet still very accesible. Further inland can be explored the fascintaing towns and cities such as Granada, Sevilla, Ronda, Jerez, Cordoba and the ski resort of the Sierra Nervada. With over 300 days of sunshine a year and a pleasant average winter temperature Andalucia makes a great place to visit anytime of year.
The benefit found by so many who holiday in our area is that they have the best of both worlds – on the one hand the peace and tranquility of the countryside; minutes from a small Spanish town that retains its friendliness and traditions and on the other the convenience and proximity of being within 45 minutes of the Costa del Sol or making excursions to the many towns, cities and Natural parks of Andalucia.
Alora itself makes a refreshing change from the heavily populated coastal resorts. It has a number of fiestas throughout the year including the spectacular Easter processions. A huge event in Alora, a spectacle to see, the "Despedia" a celebration declared to be on of National interest for tourism which takes place in the Plaza Baja starting at mid day on Good Friday. During this evening Alora is bathed in special light, the aroma of incense, and a sense of excitement only being here can truly express. With numerous processions through the streets music is provided by the soldiers of the Spanish legion and Parachute Brigade.
Alora also has a selection of restaurants, tapas bars, an open air public swimming pool, theatre and railway station that directly links to Malaga, many local shops and a well stocked supermarket.
Around Alora including our villa wildlife is in abundance and landscapes as dramatic as they are diverse. Within a short drive of Alora are the giant rock faces of the Natural Park of El Chorro, the lakes of Ardales (the 'Malaga Lake District'), El Torcal with its 200 million year old rock formations. A number of business are keen to offer activities within this setting from horse riding to mountain biking and rock climbing.

Prince Nikki, Lieutenant of the Guard in pre WWI Vienna, is flat broke, but the only advice he gets from his parents is either to shoot himself or to marry money. During the Chorpus Christi parade his horse accidentaly hurts poor Mitzi, the daughter of inn-keepers in a Viennese suburb, who is, according to the wishes of her parents, going to marry the butcher Schani. When Nikki visits her at the hospital, they fall in love, much to the dislike of her parents and Schani. Nikki's parents, meanwhile have arranged a prospective marriage with Cecilia, the limping daughter of a very rich non-aristocratic industrial. Due to the fact, that Nikki's father is a general in the Austrian-Hungarian Army, resitance is useless. When Mitzi, after hearing of it, is still refusing Schani's proposal, he vowes to shoot Nikki when he leaves the church.

Welcome to HypnoBirthing! Please tell us a little about yourself and your interest in birthing using self hypnosis.
Welcome! Introduce Yourself
Hi. I'm Courtney and live in Paris, France. I am expecting my 1st and am at 7 months. I am trying to see if the Hypnbabies is better than the Hypnotherapy, which is seems to be. But there's another one--Natal Hypnotherapy (UK-based) that was recommended in a UK-book too. Any thoughts? Whichever one I do, it will be through CDs as there are no classes here.
Also--i don't really have a choice--I'll be delivering in a French hospital, which is very medicalized and they LOVE giving Epidurals. (It's almost standard). I don't know how much freedom I have so I want the best program to help me stay calm in a medical environment where there's a lot that may not be ultimately up to me (not to mention in a foreign language!).
Thanks in advance. ~ Courtney

Hi, I'm Dasha, and I'm 17 weeks. I was looking into hypnobirthing before I even got pregnant, and after watching the Business of Being Born (great movie, btw) I definitely want a natural unmedicated childbirth. I found a hypnobirthing instructor in my area, and she sent me a schedule of classes, but I don't know how late in the pregnancy I should take them... because I'm not due until Nov, and the classes are all for summer. So I'm definitely looking forward to getting some guidance. Looking forward to meeting everyone!

Hi all! I'm Kelli and I'm 16 weeks, so still a bit early. With the birth of my daughter I had the epidural and everything. With this birth I would like to go natural and my hubby and I are taking Hypnobirthing classes starting late July. I cannot wait and look forward to anything I can learn to help me get through labor without meds. I should preface that by saying that I didn't have a bad experience with the epidural (it was a great experience actually) but would like to do this one naturally as it will be our last child.

Hi. My name is Julie and I am a FTM due 10/25/09. I am starting my third week of hynobabies training today. I wanted to get an early start, as I am an analytical-minded person and had some concerns about my willingness to accept hypnosis. So far, all is going fairly well. I should have a good amount of practice in by the time the big day comes!
Beautiful baby girl born via c-section on 10/16/09!!
I'm Jenna. I'm 37 weeks today, and looking forward to a natural birth. I completed a Hypnobirthing class, read the Hypnobirthing book, and regularly listen to the Hypnobirthing CDs. For additional help and relaxation techniques, I took a childbirth class at my hospital where other breathing and massage options were taught.
Hi! I'm Ana and I'm 30 weeks today. I started with the Mongan book then realized I needed something a bit more intensive so I"m doing the homestudy course. I love the cds so far but keep falling asleep when listening! After hearing a lot of negative feedback from people regarding our decision to have a non-medicated birth, I decided it was time to join a group and receive more female support for this option. I'm looking forward to the topics posted here and I'm looking forward to a natural and calm birthing experience!
Where did u get the info about the home-study course? I also bought the book and need a little extra.

Hi! I am Amy. I am 34 weeks pregnant and just started the hypnobabies course a couple of days ago. Looking to read some encouraging stories and just find support in general. I decided to do hypnobabies after several friends had great experiences with it. This is my 4th baby and after having pitocin with everyone (even though it was totally not needed with my first!) I am ready to try a whole new approach. I am looking to go into labor on my own and have a natural and calm birthing experience.

Photos of Ryan Phillippe Out with His Kids Ava and Deacon in LA
Ryan Keeps an Eye on Ava and Deacon While Reese Is Away
by Celebrity
Like us on Facebook
Deacon Phillippe was back in his world peace please t-shirt for an afternoon out in LA with Ava and Ryan yesterday. With Reese off in Europe with Jake, it looks like Ryan's in charge of the kids for the time being. They'll be seeing mom soon enough, as Reese will be back in the US before their new favorite movie, Monsters vs. Aliens, opens next Friday. Meanwhile, Ryan's got some work of his own lined up — he's just signed on to star in The Bang Bang Club alongside Watchmen's Malin Akerman.

And it's ironic that Prince's lawyer makes such a case, when Prince himself admits he has no skills with the camera or the darkroom, and uses some minilab to make his xeroxed copies.

A detention officer is a person who is assigned to a prison, jail, or other detention facility. These facilities typically house convicted criminals or persons who are being held, prior to standing trial. The detention officer works to maintain order within the facility and to ensure that inmates are safely held and guarded, as directed by court sentences or criminal law procedures.Read More...
Most jails and detention centers have very strict systems and conduct policies in place for all activities. It is the job of the detention officer to ensure that these systems and operations are followed with strict adherence. Almost all aspects of inmate life may require oversight and supervision by detention officers, and this can especially include time away from cells, such as recreation activities, meal times, studies, therapy, or other daily interactions and events that those housed in the prison are engaged in.
Most detention officers will be required to hold at least some form of law enforcement certification. Many employees in this area seek out degrees specific to this career path in vocational schools or community colleges. Detention officers must possess acceptable levels of physical fitness and be well-trained in self-defense, weapon use, and crowd control. Because of the round-the-clock aspect of prisoner detainment, detention officers typically are assigned to shifts that may include daytime, evening, or overnight work requirements.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience and income seem to be closely related; in general, the survey respondents who had worked for more years reported higher incomes. People who have worked for fewer than five years earn around $32K, and folks with five to 10 years of experience see a modestly higher median of $36K. Detention Officers who work for 10 to 20 years in their occupation tend to earn about $42K. Survey participants who have worked for more than two decades report bringing in $49K on average.

"We're at the point where we would be very comfortable investing in assets," said Ed Walter, chairman and CEO of the lodging REIT Host Hotels & Resorts. He said the REIT probably will start acquiring hotel properties in the next 12 to 24 months. Some large hotel portfolios might come onto the market, but Host Hotels focuses on building its portfolio one or two assets at a time, Walter said. Additional properties will come onto the market as more owners have to decide whether to invest new capital in existing assets because cash flow no longer covers the debt service, he said.

Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Some scenes it seems that way to me. It actually seems a bit schizophrenic... Sometimes a Jedi takes out loads of enemies, other times they get rendered helpless essentially by being tied up. Which seems daft, since they can still use the force.
I mean when you look at Jedi in the movies... you get the impression that Jedi should go through "normal" foes like a freaking force of nature. But quite often that doesn't seem the case in TCW.
Sometimes they just seem to not use their power when it would be an obvious time to do so. It's like they forget they have the force. I've been noticing this pattern for a while, but one recent episode I watched was particularly silly I thought... (I am in the middle of Season 4, catching up, I never watched TCW before so I've been working through it after downloading all the previous eps.) It was an episode where they go after these slavers who have captured a bunch of colonists and sold them into slavery.
Anyway there is a set up similar to the one on Jabba's sail barge at the Sarlaac. There are three Jedi of various calibers and an ARC Trooper commander, and none of the bad guys know who they are. One of the Jedi is as close to the evil queen as Leia was to Jabba... but with the advantage of being a Jedi. R2D2 fires out lightsabers to them and they go on the attack. They should rack up a mega body count and scythe their way out of there and rescue the colonists. Instead they get captured in short order and made slaves themselves. Compare to ROTJ where only Luke was a Jedi, and Jabba had Boba Fett among others on his side (and Han was blind!) but Luke still went thru them like a knife.
Then Anakin force chokes the queen but sorta gives up... He could have killed her easily but he just quits.
And Ahsoka is locked in a cage hanging over a cliff, and a slaver comes to leer at her and she sort of force-shoves him and he almost falls off the edge, after which the enraged slaver activiates her torture collar... Like Anakin and the queen, she could have easily killed the slaver, hurled him to his death, but she just didn't. And the result of letting him live was... extremely painful.
Meanwhile, Obi-Wan is sent to this slave-run metal foundry and forced to shovel coal into furnaces. That's it. And these slavers come along and beat slaves in front of him and torture him and the other slaves with impunity. He could kill them easily! He's a jedi master! He faced down Dooku on Geonosis, he defeated Darth Maul on Naboo... he could choke them, take their weapons off them, hurl any of the many many dangerous objects at them, pick them up and chuck them into the blast furnace etc. but he just doesn't.
It annoys me a bit.
Rant over.

Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
That's how fiction works: characters face conflict in an entertaining way. Worldbuilding is there to add some flavor, but if it gets in the way of telling the story it's quickly forgotten about. Among genre fiction fans, for some reason, some people think that worldbuilding should trump story, but that simply doesn't work.

And you have general grievous who you only have to use the force to stop/ kill him, but nobody think's of that and he also kills Jedi
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Judge me by my body count do you? And well you should not.
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
I don't mean to suggest that a non-Jedi should never be able to kill a Jedi. (Qui-Gon said as much when kid Anakin thought that Jedi were invincible). But it should require being a lot more creative and shouldn't be anywhere near as easy as it is half the time in TCW. As I said above, it almost seems like they forget they have Jedi powers.
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
That's the one thing that I enjoyed about the OT. It took massive amounts of concentration to do things like lift a ship out of a swamp or get flashes of the future. The limitations made them seem more like highly skilled warriors rather than superheroes. And you felt more for the characters when Luke was getting beaten by force-flung crates vs when Obi-Wan dropped ten stories and got up without a scratch.
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Another example I remember from one of the last few eps I watched: The rogue four-armed Jedi who kills loads of clones once he is unmasked, but as soon as he's been stunned, when he wakes up again with shackles on, he is suddenly helpless before Rex and his men. He could choke them all, or hurl them headfirst into the wall at 100mph, but he seems just suddenly helpless. Has he, too, forgotten his powers or what...
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Jedi having whatever powers(and forgetting powers) the plot demands is a problem with the entire franchise, but especially with TCW, mostly because we see more Jedi combat, a lot more. One week Jedi will be slicing and dicing through an endless stream of enemies, the next week they seem weak as a kitten.
Another problem I have with TCW, is that the Seperatists don't seem to care about creating anti-Jedi weapons. They have the shielded battle droids, and the sonic weapons. But the former is only used to up tension, then easily defeated. And the latter is almost never used because Jedi can't block it, which makes it less cool.
I would have loved if more specific stuff was being fielded by the Seperatists to counter Jedi. Zahn's Ysalamiri creatures would have been amazing to see onscreen, and possibly help to rein in Jedi-power creep, with an easily understood visual element.
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Star Wars suffers from a few continuity issues where Jedi ability is concerned. Before this is pointed out, it must be remembered that this occurs in situations where the Jedi would be pressed to use his or her ability (IOW, they are not holding back for any reason, etc.).
In Revenge of the Sith, Obi-Wan and Yoda cut down a large company of clones like a hot knife through butter with no difficulties. Even the ultimately ill-fated padawan who attacked the clones fared better than Jedi with decades of training / experience.
Similarly, Luke destroyed Jabba's army of henchmen with little help in Return of the Jedi.
However, when Anakin and the clones show up at the temple, the Jedi are overwhelmed like children. I'm not buying any "but Kenobi, Yoda and Luke are among the most powerful Jedi" stuff, as we already have the example of the padawan Bail observed holding his own better than the more experienced Jedi.
It appears Jedi are big time ass-kickers when necessary, otherwise, they roll over and die with the ease of the old, green plastic soldier toys.
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
My Dad for example has no appreciation of MMA, it is just two guys rolling around on the ground hugging each other to him. Where as someone like myself, who has some experience with mixed martial arts, gets a lot more out of it because I can recognize and understand what is going on.
But alas, asking for more exposition in any entertainment medium seems like a losing fight in an age of shortening attention spans.
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
Re: Jedi nerfed in TCW?
There are so many huge differences between specific Jedi skill they all possess, that it renders the characters as flimsy to support weak writing. One of the most glaring examples is Jedi speed used early in The Phantom Menace, but when a character would need it most...nothing. All we have are fan excuses of Kenobi being tired after the fall/leap, which was never implied on screen.
Everyone knows Qui-Gon had to be separated in order for Maul to kill him (well, that was what Lucas had us believe)....but the same result could have been accomplished with Kenobi in the mix. Numbers did not stop Sidious from killing Jedi in his office.

Residential construction positioned for expansion, nonresidential will 'limp along'
Posted By Tina Grady Barbaccia On March 4, 2013 @ 1:00 pm In Economics,News & Analysis | No Comments
[1]The Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) [2] reports that nonresidential construction spending fell 3.3 percent in January, with outlays decreasing to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of $572.1 billion, citing a March 1 report by the U.S. Census Bureau [3].
Year over year, total nonresidential construction spending is up only 0.8 percent (unadjusted for inflation), according to the ABC report.
Associated Builders and Contractors Chief Economist Anirban Basu said that January's construction spending decline [4] was "particularly alarming because the loss in momentum spread deep into privately financed categories.
In previous months, decreased spending in a number of public spending-oriented sectors such as sewage and waste disposal and public safety was counter-balanced by increased spending in intensely private segments, such as power and manufacturing, Basu points out.
"That changed in January, with privately financed segments like power and manufacturing reversing course and experiencing substantial monthly declines in construction spending," Basu said in a written statement. "The upshot is that nonresidential construction spending is virtually unchanged over the past year.
"With the U.S. economy still stumbling to find sustained momentum, there is little reason to expect meaningful acceleration in overall nonresidential construction spending anytime soon," Basu added. "In fact, it may be likely that public spending on construction will decline during the months ahead as automatic sequestration takes hold."
However, Basu says, that this doesn't suggest that there aren't "still bright spots in the U.S. economy." He says that several financial markets have been "flirting with all-time highs and the housing sector appears to be in the midst of a period of sustained recovery."
The bottom line, Basu notes, is that "residential construction is positioned for continued expansion while nonresidential construction will continue to limp along."

text: The National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) is a longitudinal study of a nationally representative sample of adolescents in grades 7-12 in the United States during the 1994-1995 school year. The Add Health cohort has been followed into young adulthood with four in-home interviews, the most recent in 2008, when the sample was aged 24-32. Add Health combines longitudinal survey data on respondents' social, economic, psychological, and physical well-being with contextual data on the family, neighborhood, community, school, friendships, peer groups, and romantic relationships, providing unique opportunities to study how social environments and behaviors in adolescence are linked to health and achievement outcomes in young adulthood. The fourth wave of interviews expanded biological linkages in health trajectories as the Add Health cohort ages through adulthood. The Add Health core data files are comprised of the Waves I-IV In-Home Interview data and corresponding In-Home Interview section detail data; Wave I In-School Questionnaire data, Wave I and II School Administrator data; School Information data; and six Add Health Weights file data. For more information, please see the study website.
