Albania has been one of the most isolated and underdeveloped European countries for centuries, despite its great potential because of favorable geographic position and its relative richness in natural resources. After the Second World War, Albania suffered from one of the harshest communist regimes in the world, and a total isolation in every aspect. When the regime collapsed in 1990, the GDP per Capita of Albania was calculated at $450, placing Albania between Lesotho and Sri Lanka as the 32nd lowest developed country in the world.
Although the communist regime invested a lot in the industrial development of the country, production was constrained by the mismanagement and inefficiency that characterize communist systems. One of the main reasons for this inefficiency was the total absence of competition as the economic system was strictly centrally planned.
After the start of the transition of the Albanian economy from a planned to an open market economy, the need for introduction of rules that assured free and effective competition was imminent.
The first law that dealt with the protection of competition was "On Competition," no. 8044, dated December 7, 1995. The approval of this law is the cornerstone of the institutionalization of competition law in Albania. This law included provisions on monopolies, dominant position, and unfair competition. Also, this law regulated the rights and the duties of all actors of the market: consumers and clients looking for goods or services, as well as undertakings that offer these goods or services. But the implementation of this law in practice was difficult despite the endeavors of the competent institutions.

No other fundamental aspect of our behavior as a species except sexuality is so encumbered by ideas as eating; the entanglements of food with religion, with both belief and sociality, are particularly striking.
Sidney W. Mintz (1996) 1
The previous chapter may have convinced you that much of what you do and don't like to eat has a strong genetic basis, but that's by no means the whole story. There's a great deal of variation in what people like to eat that clearly has no genetic basis. Take entomophagy (insect eating). Many insects are highly nutritious and are widely consumed. For example, caterpillars consist of 30-80% protein, and dozens of different species are eaten in Cameroon, Mexico, and Zaire. In the United States, the government officially approves of entomophagy: the Food and Drug Administration permits as many as 56 insect parts in every peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Nevertheless, in the United States most people, no matter where they immigrated from, think eating insects is disgusting. 2 Why are there such huge differences in food preferences? Do these differences in food preferences help us and other animals to survive?
Suppose you must live in the wild without any of the benefits of civilization, under the sort of conditions in which people evolved. Think about how many food choices you would have. There would be many different kinds of plants and animals that you could conceivably put into your mouth and swallow. Which ones will taste good to eat and which ones won't? Which ones will keep you healthy and which ones won't? Which combination of foods will give you all of the nutrients that you need? And if you move from,

The microphone is black. It just spent last night at Jennifer Love Hewitt's place.
So what do we call that, Microjazzling?
JLH's mom died yesterday. Nice.
A lot of people died yesterday… what's your point?
My point is that even sarcastic a-holes like us should give somebody a break when their mom drops dead. Call me crazy.
Then we'll agree to disagree. For my part, I don't expect that JLH hangs out reading these boards, and furthermore, we're nowhere near the topic of her mother – God rest her soul – which I agree would be in bad taste.
Oh, I get it. The mic is like a phallus. Very clever.
Speaking of sucking, a friend went to see Prometheus and said it sucked ass.
It didn't. Your friend's a moron.
prometheus is actually brilliant. but it doesn't spoon feed you it's plot, so i guess that's the hard part for your friend. the implications of the events in the film can be interpreted many different ways, and each make sense. so it is up to the viewer to decide what the movie means. your friend must like being told what to think.

Editor's Note: Think you know all there is to know about Las Vegas? Read our Vegas series this week as we celebrate a city that continues to reinvent itself year after year.
I recently went to Vegas after a five year hiatus, a visit so long ago that it almost doesn't count. So this time I took advantage and tried to see what Vegas has to offer. There were definitely occasions where I thought, "Wow! Only in Vegas…", and there were different kinds of entertainment every inch along the way. Although some of the sights may be very expensive (like the Louis Vuitton store), luckily there are others that are free for everyone, including those who have lost all of their money at War. No matter what activity you choose, rest assured it will have a spin that's uniquely Las Vegas in every way. Here are a few of my favorite experiences:
1. Theme park rides in weird places
Photo courtesy of Flikr member http2007
Bored of gambling? What about doing a bungee jump down 108 floors? The Stratosphere holds the highest controlled free fall of the world. If bungee jumping isn´t quite your style, the hotel also has Insanity, X-Scream and Big Shot. X-Scream, pictured here, is the third highest thrill ride in the world.
New York New York also has its own thrill ride: a roller coaster that will propel you 67 miles per hour, where you´ll drop and turn and go through the heartline twist and dive. Just to add to the insanity, you can even plan your wedding on the roller coaster! The hotel will take care of the minister; you just have to be ready to take the plunge.
2. A celebration of Las Vegas mob history

The brand new Mob Museum holds the largest collection of artifacts, memorabilia, photos and videos of organized crime and was opened by the children and grandchildren of legendary mobsters such as Benjamin ¨Bugsy¨Siegel, Meyer Lansky and Sam Giancana.
3. A tube slide through a shark tank

If you prefer water over air, this ride is for you. At The Golden Nugget, you can actually take a water slide through a tank full of sharks. This two hundred thousand gallon shark tank provides the ultimate backdrop as you whiz past it on the slide.
4. A subzero desert experience

What a better way to cool off from the hot Vegas weather than to go to an ice bar? Minus 5 at Mandalay Bay has a constant freezing temperature of -23F (-5C), guaranteed to keep your drink and hands cold. You can enjoy your drink and check out the intricate ice sculptures, which are made from 100 percent Canadian ice.
5. A volcano eruption mid-strip
Photo courtesy of Flikr member nan palmero.
Named as one of the Best Manmade Wonders, this volcano erupts once an hour from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. The heat and light that come off the 54 foot structure is enough for you to repeat the show an hour later. This has proven to be an oldie but a goodie since it was first built in 1989. If that doesn't convince you, Hart, the legendary Grateful Dead drummer, and Indian music composer Zakir Hussain worked together to create and perform a soundtrack exclusively for the volcano.
6. A Louis Vuitton megastore
Photo courtesy of Flikr member Ken Lund
Strategically placed in the city where you have the opportunity to win big money, the largest Louis Vuitton store in North America is at Crystals at City Center. The store covers two stories and sells traditional and non-traditional collections of luggage, city bags, shoes, watches, jewelry, sunglasses, clothes and much more.
7. Historical landmarks from around the world
Photo courtesy of Flikr member Randy Pertiet
In Vegas but rather be in New York City, Paris or Rome instead? Well, luckily for you, Vegas has replicated some of the world's most famous landmarks. The Eiffel Tower at Paris Las Vegas was constructed 110 years after the original and is about half its size. Just like the original, there is a gourmet French restaurant and an observation deck.
The Statue of Liberty in New York New York Hotel is also about a half-scale replica, measuring at 150 feet. There are also replicas of the Empire State Building and Chrysler Building that are about one-third the size of the original buildings in Manhattan.
The Colosseum of Caesar's Palace has room for 4,300 people and was originally built as a stage for Celine Dion. The original in Rome seats 50,000 people.
8. A tribute to Russian vodka
Photo courtesy of terren in virginia.
Looking for something a bit spicier? The Red Square in Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino was voted Best Bar in America by Playboy Magazine. It combines romance and intrigue with its Russian style décor and wide range of Russian vodka. The vodka is served at 5 degrees, and there is enough of it to pass around to all of Russia. Although you can mix it, the general manager advises everyone to take it Russian style- straight up, no mixer.
9. The characters of The Strip
Last but not least, I would count the various characters of The Strip as a sight to see. When I was there earlier this month, I was amazed at all of the weirdness that was crammed into one street. In a ten minute walk, I saw Chewbacca, Michael Jackson, a weird lizard, a midget MC, Spiderman and various others. In this picture, you can see me and my friend with two large snakes. The snake owner asks: "Want to hold them, and take a picture?" We answer: "Of course! This is Las Vegas."

I get around 22 rolls from a 100FT roll of Tri-x, so it comes out to 2.50$ a roll.
I should look into the Arista.EDU. Is that a good enough film for "professional" use? What I mean by that is, is the quality good enough to enlarge to 11x14 or so?

For the past several years, the sailing world watched junior sailors vying for the accolade of being the youngest to solo circumnavigate.
Abby Sunderland in calmer conditions
First, it was Zac Sunderland, the soft-spoken, all-American kid from Marina del Rey, California, who became the youngest person to solo circumnavigate on July 16, 2009, at the age of 17.
Mike Perham aboard his Open 50 yacht, Totallymoney.com in the Southern Ocean during his record attempt to become the youngest person to circumnavigate the world alone
Next, we learned of Englishman Mike Perham, three-and-a-half months Sunderland's junior, who successfully circumnavigated on an Open 50, besting Sunderland.
A delighted Jessica Watson
Then, attention spun to Australian Jessica Watson, 36 months younger than Sunderland, who returned into Sydney Harbor on May 15, 2010, her smile wide.
Somewhere in that timeframe, Sunderland's younger sister, 16 year old Abby, almost two years Zac's junior, set out on her own journey.
Abby Sunderland, photo by her father, Laurence Sunderland
Laura Dekker - now with a newly acquired Jeanneau Gin Fizz, Guppy
Then, 14 year old Laura Dekker, a Kiwi living in The Netherlands, also became interested, although a court order forbade her from setting sail. Pundits the world over argued over the safety (and parental judgment) of these teenage endeavors, but somehow each sailor made it back to port without serious incident.
Until now. Abby Sunderland's manually operated EPIRB and her personal-locator beacon both lit up before 0600 PDT, Thursday, somewhere in the vast, wind-ravaged Southern Ocean between the Cape of Good Hope and Australia's Cape Leeuwin. Her father said her her yacht might be upturned.
Latest news is that Australian airline Qantas have made VHF radio contact, she is safe and uninjured on her dismasted and upright racing yacht Wild Eyes.
We will continue to post news as it happens.

The Dallas Stars brought up goalie Jack Campbell from the minor leagues after starter Kari Lehtonen left a game Friday because of an injury.
Campbell was recalled from the Texas Stars of the American Hockey League on Saturday, a day after Lehtonen was hurt in a 4-1 victory over Winnipeg.
The Stars played at Minnesota on Saturday night and Lehtonen's backup, Dan Ellis, allowed five goals on 36 shots in a 5-1 defeat.
Lehtonen started the first three games and got the victory against Winnipeg despite the face he had to come out in the second period.
He is listed as day-to-day because of a lower-body injury.
The Phoenix Coyotes signed forward Jeff Halpern to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
The 37-year-old Halpern had a goal and two assists in 46 games last season for the New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens.
In 13 NHL seasons with Washington, Dallas, Tampa Bay, the Kings, Montreal and New York, he has 147 goals and 214 assists in 907 regular-season games.

Senate Votes to Reinstate Barr Program
The Senate has passed a bill that would reinstate the Block Aircraft Registration Request (Barr) program, which allowed aircraft owners to block public access to tail numbers. "We thank the Senate for approving this bill…and we hope the House will finalize [companion] legislation to reinstate the program as soon as possible," said Ed Bolen, president and CEO of the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). While the House considers doing that, the NBAA and Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association are moving ahead with a lawsuit against the FAA, seeking to force it to reinstate Barr, which it dismantled last August. Court hearings in that case are set to start December 3.

Folsom Short Sale SOLD in Desireable Neighborhood
104 Abrozo Ct, Folsom, CA – Chris White, Folsom Realtor, sold this home not long ago as a short sale with OCWEN. Chris is a local CDPE (Certified Distressed Property Expert) so selling this property as a short sale was a piece of cake. One of the ways that Chris White eases the strain of selling homes as short sales is the use of his administrative support team. Chris has individuals handling negotiations, transaction coordination, office and sales management, and marketing. Most real estate agents do not have this valuable, built-in support system which assures that no part of a transaction falls through the cracks.
This home features 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms with 1,900 square feet on a 10,000 square foot lot. Not only is the property set on such a large lot, the home also features a pool in the larger size backyard! It's easy to see why the home received multiple offers, the area which the home is located is highly desirable and the features are outstanding.
Short Sale Turned Investment Property!
4412 A Pkwy, Sacramento, CA – The Chris White Team sold this two-story 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom Sacramento investment property at the top end of market value which is an impressive feat considering this was a double mortgage short sale with Wells Fargo and Chase bank. With over 1,700 square feet and a huge backyard in a central location near the freeway by Florin and Franklin this is a great property with tons of future income potential. According to Zillow, home values in the area are expected to increase 18.9%, an absolutely worthwhile investment.
The Chris White Team specializes in short sales and the needs of both it's clients (sellers) and investors. With over 15 years of experience in the real estate industry selling property amounting to over $100 million dollars, Chris White is a safe bet for accomplishing your real estate goals, whether they are selling or buying, leasing or renting.

"NNN" (Triple Net) Properties for Sale
"NNN" Triple Net Properties for Sale
What is a Triple Net Lease? No More Toilet Investing
Triple Net Lease investing (NNN) involves buying free standing buildings that are leased to credit-worthy tenants. Tenants can be everything from a Walgreen Drug Store to a dollar store such as Family Dollar and Dollar General. Other net lease properties include bank building such as Bank of America, food such as McDonalds, Burger King or Taco Bell or auto service and part stores like Bridgestone/Firestone or an Advance Auto. NNN properties are typically leased to tenants for a 10 to 25 year term.
If you are a value oriented non-flip investor, then the lease is the second most important piece of information that you need to complete as you invest into No Toilet Oriented NNN Investments. (Hint: the first important piece of analysis is the location of asset ). First, it is important to understand what the different types of leases are and what makes NNN special?
There are five different types of leases (in order from most passive to most active for a landlord):
Bond Lease:The tenant is fully responsible for operating expenses, maintenance, repairs, and replacements for the entire building and site, without limitation. This is a very rare lease to put together but if you can find a real estate asset that is backed with this type of a lease. These types of leases will typically yield the lowest return on investment out the different types of leases.
NNN Lease:These leases follow the bond lease definition except that capital expenditures are limited, usually in the final months of the lease. The lessee is liable for all of the property's expenses, both fixed and operating.
NN Lease: This lease follows the NNN, except the landlord is responsible for structural components, such as the roof, bearing walls, and foundation.
Modified Net (or Modified Gross) Lease:The tenant pays its own utilities, interior maintenance and repairs, and insurance. The landlord pays everything else, including real estate property taxes.
Gross Lease: The tenants pay one set cost for their rent and the landlord pays everything else including real estate property taxes, insurance, repairs and interior maintenance.
As you can tell from the list above, the NNN lease investments offer the benefit of little or no management responsibilities as the tenant pays for all (or most) of the expenses. The investor receives their rent with little-to-no other involvement. Hence this is a No More Toilet Investment!
Analyzing Triple Net Lease Investments
If you see the value of a NNN Investment as a No More Toilet Investment then you need to develop an investment analysis framework. The Analysis Framework involves a "three prong" analysis:
Prong I: Evaluate the Real Estate
The purpose of this prong is to complete an initial evaluation of the asset utilizing the following steps:
A. Site Property Visit: NNN can make you lazier given the bond nature of the investment. This is still a piece of real estate so it is important to physically vist the asset and get a feel for the area and the site itself.
B. Legal Analysis : Easements, Restrictions, and Encroachments can impact the value of the real estate site by restricting what you can and cannot do with the site in the future. The terminal value of a NNN investment is the piece of real estate itself. Hence you want to be sure that you can use the site to its highest and best use potential when the tenant does eventually vacate out of the asset.
Pront II: Evaluate the Tenant
In NNN investments, 50% of the value of the asset is driven by the location of the real estate while the other 50% is driven by the credit quality of the long term tenant in my personal opinion. This is where NNN investing really drew my interest as it a real estate asset class wherein I can utilize Corporate Finance and Financial Statement analysis (courses taken during my MBA days) and real estate analysis together. From a real estate investor's perspective, a triple-net-leased property's investment value should reflect the tenant's ability to meet the terms of the lease. The capitalization rate indicates this variable risk factor, because it directly represents the relationship of the stipulated net income to the price a knowledgeable investor is willing to pay. The higher the risk that a tenant may not be solvent over the long term, the higher the cap rate should be.
How can you underwrite tenant risk?
If the tentant is a public company, the credit rating is fairly easy to determine through a number of sources, including sites available on the Internet such as S&P, Moody's, and Zacks.com.
If the tenant is private then you need to request and analyze the following pieces of information:
- Tenant Credit Report: Request and review Tenant credit profiles from one or more of these types of reporting agencie D&B, Equifax Small Business Enterprise, Accurint Business, and ClientChecker.
- Tenant Business Plan
- Tenant Recent Sales History
- Tenant Annual Financial Reports and Tax Returns
If you feel overwhelmed and cannot do the tenant underwriting analysis yourself then you contact a fee-based tenant underwriting service for added assistance.
Prong III: Evaluate the Lease
As was stated earlier, the lease is the second most important piece of information associated with buy and hold investment analysis. Lease is your source of gross income document so you must make sure that two things are for certain with a lease:
- Clear Language: Make certain that the lease is written in clear language so that there is no ambiguity to its terms. Hence it is important to read every word of the lease document and request your attorney to do the same independently from each other. Once the review has been completed, it is vital to compare notes to make sure that you understand what you as the landlord need to cover, what are the rental increases agreed upon and when, and under what conditions can a tenant get out of this lease.
- Inflated Rent Analysis: An inflated rent that may not reflect current market rents. Inflated rents may make the investment return appear desirable but they are surely to drop upon renewal especially if current market rent is cheaper. The drop in rental income will directly resale value which may be less than what the investor paid for the property and the actual yield probably will be lower than other alternative opportunities in the marketplace. Hence it is important to read the lease to understand what the annual rental rates will be on a per square foot basis and compare that to current market rents.
Triple Net Investments (NNN) investments that have been carefully structured and underwritten can become a No Toilet Investment. However, these are highly long term investments and before you commit capital to such a long-term investment vehicle it is vital to further study this asset class and complete a thorough pre-acquisition due diligence.

Garden Q&A: Trim ornamental grass in March
Q: With fall coming, I have been told to cut down ornamental grasses after they turn brown, but it seems that other people wait until spring to cut them. What would you recommend? Also, we'd like to add more of them to our landscape. Do you have any favorites?
A: Most ornamental grasses should be cut down to 8 to 10 inches in height in mid to late March. Some people choose to do it in fall instead because they don't like the grass to blow around the yard in winter. I much prefer to hold off until spring since I think the foliage adds a lot of texture and interest to the winter landscape.
You can cut the grasses down with a pair of hand pruners or long-bladed loppers. If there are too many to cut by hand, you can use an electric hedge trimmer. The trimmings make a great addition to the compost pile.
I have a long list of favorite ornamental grasses, and I have written about them many times over the years. Here are some of my favorites listed by height. Most should be available at local garden centers.
Tallest (over 4 feet)
"Karl Foerster" Feather reed grass
"Gracillimus" Maiden grass
"Heavy Metal" Blue switch grass
"Prairie Sky" Blue switch grass
"Eldorado" Feather reed grass
Middle height (2-4 feet):
"Hameln" Fountain grass
"Little White Spider" Maiden grass
"Morning Light" Maiden grass
"Northwind" Blue switch grass
"Red Head" Purple fountain grass
Short (under 2 feet):
"Evergold" Carex
"Avalanche" Variegated reed grass
"Goldstaub" Tufted hair grass
Purple moor grass
Autumn sedge

My family isn't excited about my pregnancy. What can I do?
This is my first child, my parents' fifth grandchild, and my in-laws' second grandchild. While my in-laws have shown great interest and constantly call to see how things are going with my pregnancy, my own parents and sister act like they couldn't care less. My mother rarely calls, and when she does it's to ask me to do something for her. My sister acts as though she's been there, done that, and can't be bothered to answer any of my questions. I feel abandoned by my family. What can I do?

I am pregnant with my 2nd and due in September- my son will almost be 6 at that time- and my in laws are just werid people - when I was pregnant w/ my 1st they were off to Florida for vacation a few weeks before I was due and again 6 years later- (2nd grandchild) they want to take a vacation to Utah 2 weeks before I am due! I am very insulted and feel they have their priorities so far out of wack - I don't even want to share my pregnancy with them- it just blows my mind how people work so differently- I will never be like them-posted 03/14/2006 by stacypeeters
I too have been disappointed in the people I'm closest to and their reaction to my pregnancy. I'm due in 10 days, and have an 11 year old. This pregnancy was not planned, but is a blessing. When I announced my pregnancy back in August, my sister, who I'm closer to (or thought so) than anyone, chose that time to tell me how disappointed she was in me, not just for the pregnancy, but seemingly a lot of other things that have gone on in our lives. We have not been close since then. I was just telling my husband that a year ago I would've assumed she would be there when I deliver, but now I can't even bring myself to ask her, because I think I know the answer...."no". Then, just recently my 88 year old aunt, who has been having medical problems, voiced to me that she wishes I wasn't pregnant and having this child so that I could work for her (cooking, cleaning, etc.). Hurtful things, that I feel I should start holding a grudge, but am trying not to. Thankfully, as others have expressed, I have a small circle of supporters that I will continue to surround myself with.posted 03/14/2006 by kappreg5
My wife is pregnant with our 2nd child, the first will be 5 years old when this one is born. I don't know what it is, but I'm not as excited with this one as I was with the first. I even sometimes forget that my wife is pregnant. If it weren't for people asking me how my wife was doing and the obvious "plumness" I would totally forget she is pregnant. I wanted a girl the first time around and we got a boy. I still want a girl (we find out hopefully what the baby is on 03/22/06) and I don't want to be disappointed again. (Don't get me wrong, I love my son and he has became "daddies boy") I think this is why I myself am not that "into" this pregnancy.posted 03/14/2006 by TWilliams5
My mother-in-law was the same about my 1st pregnancy despite the fact I really hoped to rely on her as we had got very close ever since I lost my own mother several years before. But she was even disengaged once the baby was born - she definitely had more time & interest in her 2nd grandchild, who was born a few months ahead of my daughter. My husband was quite hurt by this but we just kept up the visiting, calls, letters etc anyhow and now, 6 years on, she absolutely adores both my daughters, they all couldn't be closer. And she seems fascinated by my 3rd pregnancy, whilst I'm much more relaxed! You just have to leave grannies to it I think, they do come good in the end by themselves, and get your own support elsewhere...Good luck.posted 03/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
You know I am pregnant with my second child. I had a similar problem with my first. See my sister-in-law would make comments to me that would make me feel bad, while everyone else seemed to be happy about the pregnancy. She would say stuff like, "I hope you don't have a miscarriage and if you do it just remember it wasn't meant to be." I stayed away from her for the most part during the pregnancy. Needless to say when my first child was born she wasn't informed. Although, you would think that me not calling to let her know would have made me feel better, it didn't. So here I am pregnant again, living with her and still having to listen to her. "Well you better hope this isn't wrong and that isn't wrong." But you know what as easy as it was for me to learn to tune out the attention cries from my 7 year old, I can do the same with her and go on with my pregnancy being happy. Don't let other people take this experience away from you, this is all about you and your baby. Enjoy it while it last, because when they get older watch out and trust me happens fast.posted 03/14/2006 by Ohfamilylife03
I have experienced the same thing. I am expecting my fifth baby, unexpected but not unwanted. I announced it around Christmas time and all I got was a bunch of disgusted "your kidding's" and "better you than me's" and so on.Alot of people just didn't reply at all. I felt very protective of my baby and have decided that they are losing out. And if they can't take part in this pregnancy, I am not going to allow them the excitment and glory of a newborn when it arrives. Surprisingly, the people who show the most excitment for me are the gals I work with, so I find joy and comfort in them. Don't let them hurt you. It is their own ignorance and fear that are robbing them from the absolute miracle growing inside of you. Carry your belly proudly and enjoy!posted 03/14/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My mother didn't get excited about my first child although as soon as her grandchild was born you would have never known. That was almost 10 years ago. Now I am expecting my second child and her first response is "oh, no". This pregnancy was unplanned, but I am 28 years old, have a great career, own my own home and lack for nothing. If she comes around great and if not it's her loss. I am still overjoyed about this pregnancy and you should be also.posted 03/13/2006 by boliver77
When I had my son, my brother and sister didn't even call to say congrats! I never heard from them during the pregnancy. I just figured they weren't in kid mode yet so that's why it was no big deal to them. Since my sister has had a baby she's much more interested in the topic. It is hurtful but we aren't that close anyway...posted 03/13/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
I would like to apologize for your mother and sisters' attitude toward your pregnancy. I am 21, married, financially stable and 27 weeks pregnant. I love the feeling and my mom is so excited to be having her 1st grandchild. My in laws are excited as well. I would hate to think of myself going through this situation without the support of my family. Just keep your head up and know they'll come around sooner or later and remember you have a loving husband to share the happiness with.posted 03/13/2006 by a BabyCenter Member
My family was the same way before my 1st was born 3 years ago. After he was born, they came to really love having him in their lives. Now, my parents see him at least every weekend, and talk about him constantly. Perhaps your family will come around once there is an actual baby they can hold, cuddle, play with, etc. Good luck - it's so tough to feel alone when you need your family most.posted 03/13/2006 by walala2

Are Jews Smarter?Breaking News
Last summer, Henry Harpending, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Utah, and Gregory Cochran, an independent scholar with a flair for controversy, skipped cheerfully into the center of this minefield. The two shopped around a paper that tried to establish a genetic argument for the fabled intelligence of Jews. It contended that the diseases most commonly found in Ashkenazim—particularly the lysosomal storage diseases, like Tay-Sachs—were likely connected to and, indeed, in some sense responsible for outsize intellectual achievement in Ashkenazi Jews. The paper contained references, but no footnotes. It was not written in the genteel, dispassionate voice common to scientific inquiries but as a polemic. Its science was mainly conjecture. Most American academics expected the thing to drop like a stone.
It didn't. The Journal of Biosocial Science, published by Cambridge University Press, posted it online and agreed to run it in its bi-monthly periodical sometime in 2006. The New York Times, The Economist, and several Jewish publications risked their reputations to legitimize it. Today, the paper has a lively presence on the Internet—type "Ashkenazi" into Google and the first hit is the Wikipedia entry, where the article gets pride of place.

Michael McKenzie and his wife, Carolyn, in an undated family photo.
An illustration based on an X-ray taken at Good Samaritan Hospital two days before Michael McKenzie died. His widows lawyer, who provided the illustration, says the X-ray shows an aortic aneurysm that the hospital failed to diagnose. / Provided by Anthony T. DiPietro.
The family of a Central Nyack man who died two days after visiting the Good Samaritan Hospital emergency room in 2007 has won a $3.4 million verdict against the Suffern hospital and the physician who treated him.
Michael McKenzie, 49, a longtime employee of the Rockland County Sewer District, was found dead in his Waldron Avenue home by his 10-year-old son on Nov. 30, 2007.
McKenzie and his wife also had two daughters. Since his death, his widow lost her job and their home is facing foreclosure, court records show.
An autopsy found that he had suffered a ruptured aortic aneurysm, according to a lawsuit brought by his widow, Carolyn McKenzie.
During a monthlong trial before state Supreme Court Justice Robert Berliner, attorney Anthony T. DiPietro of New York City who acted as trial counsel for the law firm of Fink & Platz, argued that the emergency room physician who treated McKenzie two days before his death failed to diagnose the aneurysm.
He had the classic symptoms, DiPietro said. It was like he was wearing a sign around his neck that said aortic aneurysm.
An aortic aneurysm, or dissection, occurs when the body's main blood-carrying artery tears. Without quick surgery to repair the tear, the condition is almost always fatal.
Lawyers for the hospital and Dr. Michael Kane argued that the aortic aneurysm was not present when McKenzie visited the emergency room.
A verdict reached by a jury late Wednesday found Michael Kane, the ER physician, as well as Good Samaritan Hospital responsible for failing to diagnose the aneurysm that caused McKenzies death.
Good Samaritan spokeswoman Deborah Marshall said the hospital plans to appeal the verdict.
Kane no longer works at the hospital, she said.
Attorney Vincent Petrozzo, who represented Kane, did not respond to a request for comment.
Kane was employed by Rockland Emergency, a contractor that operated Good Samaritans emergency room until 2009.
According to Kanes profile with the state Department of Health, he was board certified in obstetrics and gynecology at the time he treated McKenzie in the emergency room.
Kane earned a board certification in emergency medicine in 2008, a year after McKenzie died. The state records indicate no other actions against him.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
