Landscape Economics : The Road Ahead
AbstractThe aims of this paper are to delineate some important topics in landscape economics, and also to take stock of the works and debates presented during the life of the CEEP project (from the first meeting in Angers (2006) , to the present one in Vienna). The objective of the research progamm initiated by the MEEDAT was to put landscape policy in the perspective of the sustainable development. The research issue is about the relationships between the development paths and landscape changes, paved with examples of consensus, controversies, and conflicts. This perspective was challenging for economists, due to the two gaps observed between the development of landscape research in geography, ecology or sociology and the absence of a corresponding corpus in economics, on one hand, and the development of landscape policies compared to the development of research in economics, on the other one. Precursors in landscape economics are certainly Von Thünen, who created the first model explaining the role of dispersing forces in the landscape making up, and C. Price, for the analysis of landscape preferences and the evaluation of landscape projects.[...]

The Arizona Wildcats have unveiled their design for the team's new field turf. Arizona athletic director Greg Byrne released the image of the team's new FieldTurf CoolPlay surface on Twitter. To learn more about FieldTurf CoolPlay, check out this link. Here is a small sample from the press release:
High Performance. Low Temperature. FieldTurf has announced the launch of its new and innovative FieldTurf CoolPlay systems, designed to provide clients with a cooler surface temperature versus traditional turfs – with no compromise to the safety and performance of the fields.
The experts at the FieldTurf Innovation and Performance Center have been hard at work finding a solution to lower the surface temperature of an artificial turf surface. Years of experimenting with materials and systems has finally paid off. Independent third-party laboratory results concluded that CoolPlay was 35ºF cooler than traditional sand / rubber infill systems.
Wildcats head coach Rich Rodriguez has been a strong advocate of turf and expressed the desire to play of FieldTurf earlier this week.
"We've had a beautiful grass field and we can certainly grow grass here and all that," Rodriguez said.
"But I think for us, from a functional standpoint, being able to practice on it two days a week and for our guys to work on it year-round ….I think there is something different about practicing in the stadium. Plus, from an aesthetic standpoint, you're going to be able to see a nice green field."
Rodriguez's teams previous teams — Michigan and West Virginia — played on field turf in the past.
Here is the design:
The best feature of the design is the ghost lettering "BEAR DOWN" that stretched down the field between the hash marks.
What do you think of the concept for Arizona's new field turf? Sound off in the comments section and let your opinion be heard!

The big issue that concerns me in American health is that we have a sense of entitlement and no sense of responsibility. We dramatize when a bill comes up in Congress, we dramatize end-of-life care as death squads or whatever they call them, when in fact end-of-life care is where most of the expense goes and most of the suffering happens. The patient suffers; the relatives suffer; everybody suffers except the hospital, which makes money. And even the insurance company, in the end, suffers because they lose money at that point. We hardly have anyone dying at home. They all have to die in a hospital with machines around them. It's a system that is totally divorced from the essence of human beings who are spiritual beings, who want to find meaning even in death and want to find some kind of nurturing, even in the last stages of life. So that's what's wrong.
And then there's an over-emphasis on instant gratification, whether it's through a drug or a sleeping pill or whatever, there's instant gratification. There is no understanding at all that our bodies naturally want to heal themselves, that we have to stop interfering. There are many, many things you can do for common ailments like headache or indigestion. You know, I like to use these words, the five things that hospitals have and patients spend most of their resources on -- they're pain, anxiety, nausea, insomnia and constipation.
Now I can tell you as a medical resident and intern, I used to be woken up in the middle of the night by a nurse to give a patient who was already sleeping a sleeping pill, so that the nurse could go to sleep, in case he woke up. So between pain and anxiety and nausea and insomnia and constipation, we use most of our resources. And all these things are easily treated through stress management, through massage, through breathing exercises, through a little bit of movement in the bed, a little bit of improvised yoga, through massage. There are so many things you can do that will obviate about 80 percent of our resources in the hospitals.
There's research, you know, Donna Karan and her group here at Urban Zen have been doing research in New York hospitals in just these five things. They call them the five elements of panic, P-A-N-I-C -- pain, anxiety, nausea, insomnia and constipation. And now they are documenting all this. I think the more we can start documenting this, the more we start training people. You don't need highly specialized medical doctors to take care of most illnesses that human beings have. But we've gone down this road such a long way, there're so many special interest groups invested in this, there's so much technology invested in this, it will take a long time to change the habits of an entire nation.
Dr. Mehmet Oz Cardiac surgeon and host, The Dr. Oz Show
Obesity dominates my concerns about the health of the country, but it's not alone. I'm very concerned about the sexual famine in America, and by that I mean the fact that folks aren't being intimate with each other, which is a way of course that we rev our engines, that we appear vital and act young towards each other. This has reached drastic proportions. Now if you do surveys on folks living in their 40s, you realize how few people are being intimate with each other. And of course there's a longevity benefit if you're having more sex.
Probably every time you increase from once a week to twice a week, once a week being the average in America now, you'll increase your longevity about three years. Now that's an association we've seen in numerous studies. It might not be causative, but I'd certainly like to have the odds in my favor.
Third on my list of things I worry about are dementia, and dementia is tied back to your weight and lifestyle habits. But there's also a genetic element to it, and we have not been as successful as I had hoped bringing new therapies for Alzheimer's and other causes of dementia into the fray. But I see that changing, and believe over the next decade we're going to be in clinical trials with drugs that have meaningful impact, really can change the natural history of dementia in this country.
The fourth big challenge we face are the big cancers, the lung cancers in particular, which is the number one cancer. But I'll put breast and colon in that group as well. And I think these cancers are increasing in part because we've got hormonal changes in our body driven by obesity that makes it easier for some of these cancers to grow, but we're also exposed to toxins, and I don't think we appreciate the impact of all those toxins from our environment in our bodies. And they add up -- subtle things like arsenic found in the food supply or radon from our basements or a change in the natural order of how food is brought to us, including genetically modified foods, which I can't say are dangerous, but I can't say they're not, either. And there are all these big question marks around those that continue to resonate.
And the fifth item is one that will probably shock most people. But I believe that the biggest challenge of all that we face, if we really want to be able to as a population move into our 10th decade of life with vitality to become centenarians with the joyful lust for life that you should have, the only way to get there is to be firm enough, to be sturdy enough, and the number five problem we face prevents that. It's frailty. Too many folks are not physically active enough to maintain muscle mass.
Remember, your bones don't rebuild themselves just because you want them to. They rebuild themselves every seven years based on what load they bear. So if you're not exercising the muscles get weak around the bones, the bones get weak themselves, you begin to start to lean forward, become kyphotic, and then when you get an illness like a cancer or heart disease, it culls you from the population because you're too frail to weather the storm. And when we looked around at populations where people live a long time, physical activity is an absolutely essential predictor of how long people will live.

I think convincing people that they have to take part in their health. That they actually have to get out and exercise, and they have to watch what they eat, and that we don't have a magic pill that's going to fix everything. There are so many medications that will fix things that they want something simple. They don't want to work. They'll tell me, I've gained weight. And I say, Well, how much do you exercise? I don't have time to exercise. Can you give me that diet pill? So I think that's one of the challenges is to just have them take responsibility.

At a Viacom press conference in Santa Monica, Calif. on Tuesday, Bellator MMA announced the details of its upcoming reality show that will air on Spike TV.
The reality show is dubbed "Fight Master: Bellator MMA" and will feature four coaches: Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, Greg Jackson, and Joe Warren.
More MMA
The reality show will be similar to "The Ultimate Fighter" that aired on Spike TV through 14 seasons. It will feature 32 aspiring welterweights competing in a tournament format for a six-figure payday and a slot into a future Bellator tournament.
The fighters themselves will select their coach and will decide whom they'll face in elimination bouts.
"This was a fantastic opportunity for me moving forward and for the sport of mixed martial arts," said Couture.
"The cornerstone of this show is really about the people behind it," said Bellator president Bjorn Rebney. "The Amazing Race" creators Bertram van Munster and Elise Doganieri are the executive producers of the show.
The reality show's filming is "immediately imminent" and is scheduled to debut this summer on Spike.

Oh Greg, what were you thinking? You know you're on Dana's poop-list as it is.
Maybe Dana won't let him buy tickets to his events? haha
They will really be fucked when Dana buys out Bellator !
Looks like Jackson's team will be strategizing on how they can win by decision.
dana gonna throw a trantrum
Really, now that I know the extent of Randy's involvement and a little more about the project in question, I'm even more baffled at Dana's reaction.
It's like a T.V show that no longer requires the services of an actor, getting upset when said actor takes a role on another T.V show. Irregardless whether said program is competing for airtime, you can't really piss on the actor for safeguarding his career and financial future by picking up golden opportunities as they present themselves elsewhere when you no longer provide a home for him … can you?
yea but its dana, logics doesnt apply
lol at "Irregardless".
what? that's legitly a word.
(please know i'm joking)
Joking or not, stating it's a word is, in fact, 'legit'.
wow it is a legit word http://news.cnet.com/8301-17938_105-9796217-1.html
Despite the apparent double negative, yes, it has been an official word and is found in most dictionaries, for quite some time.
All hail the grammar Nazi! Regardless, or irrespective your perspective, irregardless is, in fact, a word – just not a 'proper' word.
Look it up. Google is your friend.
It's still incorrect.
No it isn't.
hahaha Thank you! I caught that one too.
It will really drive Dana crazy, if they put this on CBS.
Bellator also needs put a show on CBS to get it going.
i really think they hit a jackpot with frank shamrock..he knows how to sell
You think Dana hated Jackson before?
I really think these guys are starting to take actions like this because of their contempt for the UFC, and not their love of some other organization. When Randy says, "this is a great opportunity for me to move forward in MMA," the translation is: "They offered me a lot of money," and F%&* the UFC.
Should the UFC be worried…..Bellator is rising…kinda like Lowes did to Home Depot..who would of have thought…i hope not
The reality show will be similar to "The Ultimate Fighter" that aired on Spike TV through 14 seasons. It will feature 32 aspiring welterweights competing in a tournament format for a six-figure payday and a slot into a future Bellator tournament.

Making Korean Summer Noodles, Three Ways
Technically, the noodles used in this post is the wrong kind of noodles. The correct noodles would be the naengmyeon; made from the flour and starch of various ingredients like buckwheat (메밀, memil), potatoes, sweet potatoes, 칡냉면 and a variety made with the starch from arrowroot (darker color and chewier than buckwheat noodles). I'm using noodles made from sweet potatoes, but I'm sure any other type will be acceptable.
The one thing you must know about the recipes to follow is that they have three ingredients in common:
1. Noodles.
2. A variety of crunchy vegetables like carrot and cabbage.
3. Hard boiled eggs. Slice 'em, dice 'em, halve 'em - whatever. I personally sometimes think what's the point of adding half a boiled egg on top. Do you eat it at the beginning? Do you eat it at the end? I mean, it's consistency is too hard to be mixed into the noodles therefore not wouldn't really play a part, flavor-wise. So I slice mine, and sometimes quarter them just so that it'll be easier to be incorporated into the noodles. Whichever way you decide, these three cold noodle recipes will definitely help you get through the summer heat wave.
MUL NAENG-MYEON (물 냉면 ) / KOREAN COLD NOODLES IN ICY SAVORY BROTH: (serves 2):
[ ¼ lb Naengyeon Noodles (thin noodles made from buckwheat and sweet potato) + 2 cups chicken broth + 2 cups beef broth, unsalted + 2-3 tablespoon brown rice vinegar + Eggs, hard-boiled and sliced in half + ½ of a cucumber, seeded and julienned + 1 small Asian pear, julienned or cut into thin slices + 1/2 teaspoon sugar + ice cubes + 1 teaspoon sesame seeds ] OPTIONAL: ¼ cup pickled radish + cooked brisket or beef shank + Korean hot mustard
Mix the cooled chicken and beef broths together with vinegar. Add more salt or vinegar to taste. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes if possible.
Cook noodles according to package directions, about 4-5 minutes in boiling water. Drain noodles and rinse well in cold water to stop cooking and eliminate some excess starch.
Distribute noodles into bowls, pour a generous amount of chilled broth and a few ice cubes to cover almost of all of noodles. Place the cucumbers, pear slices, and pickled radish on top of the noodles and then top everything with the hard-boiled egg.
BIBIM-NAENGMYEON (비빔 냉면) / KOREAN COLD SPICY NOODLES(serves 2):
[ ¼ lb Naengyeon Noodles (thin noodles made from buckwheat and sweet potato) + 1/2 teaspoon water + 2 tablespoon sugar + 1 tablespoon vinegar + 1 tablespoon Gochugaru (Korean red pepper flakes) + 2 tablespoon Gochujang (Korean red pepper paste) + 1 asian or Bosc pear + 1/4 of an onion + 2 garlic cloves + 1/2 inch piece of ginger, peeled + + 1 tablespoon sesame oil + 1 tablepsoon soy sauce + eggs, hard boiled + 1/2 cucumber, thinly sliced ]
Thinly slice the cucumber on the diagonal, then toss with 1 teaspoon of sugar, a pinch of salt, vinegar and a pinch of gotchukaru, and set aside. Peel the pear and thinly slice one quarter, then cover with water mixed with 1 teaspoon sugar.
In a food processor, combine another quarter of pear (roughly chopped), onion, garlic, ginger, 1 tablespoon each of gotchukaru, gotchujang, vinegar, sesame seeds and soy sauce. Process until nearly smooth. Add sesame oil and stir well, then refrigerate.
In a large pot, bring water to a boil. When at a full, roiling boil, add the noodles and cook for about 5 minutes (it should be very al dente). Rinse the noodles repeatedly with cold water to stop the cooking process. Repeat as many times as needed so that the noodles become very cold.
Divide the noodles between the cold bowls and either place them back in the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes or serve immediately. To serve, pour sauce over the noodles (enough to evenly coat all of the noodles), top with cucumbers, pear slices, and half of an egg.
KIMCHI BIBIM GUKSU (비빔국수) / SPICY COLD NOODLES WITH KIMCHI (serves 2):
[ 8 - 10 ounces somyeon (somen) noodles + 1 cup thinly sliced kimchi (fully fermented) + 1/4 cup juice from kimchi (use a little more soy sauce and vinegar if unavailable) + 1 tablespoon Korean red chili pepper paste, gochujang (adjust to taste) + 1 tablespoon soy sauce + 2 tablespoon sugar + 2 tablespoons rice or apple vinegar + 1 tablespoon sesame oil + 1 tablespoon sesame seeds + 1/2 of a cucumber, thinly sliced + 1/4 cup sliced cabbage + eggs, hard boiled and sliced ]
Combine the sliced kimchi and of the sauce ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water. Cook the noodles according to the package instructions (3 - 4 minutes). Drain quickly and shock in cold water to stop cooking. Drain and rinse in cold water again. Repeat until the noodles become cold. Drain well.
Combine the noodles with the kimchi sauce, and toss everything until the noodles are evenly coated with the sauce. Taste and adjust the seasoning to taste, if necessary. Garnish with the vegetables and serve cold.

Eight days of practice — check . Pole Day — check. Bump day — check. Carb day — check. All that remains now is running the five hundred mile marathon that is the Indianapolis 500 to discover who will next garner the Borg Warner trophy with their likeness. The Indianapolis 500 is among the greatest sporting events of the year and the largest in the world. Better than three hundred thousand people will enter the turnstiles of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to watch the Greatest Spectacle in Racing unfold for the 97th time on Sunday May 26, 2013. Storylines and things to watch are abound in this year's edition so here is your Indianapolis 500 primer.
The 2012 version of the Indianapolis 500 was the most exciting, close, competitive race in the history of the event recording a record number of lead changes. Expect that number to be eclipsed once again in 2013 as teams and drivers have a full year developing the DW12 IndyCar chassis and engine package under their belt. Each competitor, full season campaign participants in particular, has greater understanding of the DW12 car and what technical aspects make the car go fast. There is no Lotus this year so everyone can be assured of adequate, competitive horsepower to carve through the field regardless of where he or she is located on the starting grid. Driverwise, this field has more depth of talent than ever before with at least twenty five cars that have a realistic opportunity to drink the milk in Victory Lane when the race is over.
Pit stops are an essential part of the Indianapolis 500 because the race requires the most stops on the INDYCAR schedule. Mistakes on pit lane have resulted in many disappointments over the years and this year will be no different. Most of the time, a team must be perfect on pit lane to have an opportunity to compete for the win in the final stages of the race. A botched pit stop by Mike Conway resulted in removing himself and Will Power from competition while Dario Franchitti was spun on pit lane early. Granted, Franchitti emerged victorious but such cases are the exception more than the norm at Indianapolis. Execution on pit road is absolutely essential to winning the race.
Like the 2012 race, Chevrolet gave Honda an knockout punch in qualifying sweeping the top 10 positions on the starting grid, but we've all read this melodrama before. Honda came back in force in the race and won the Indianapolis fight rematch stealing the race win leaving Chevrolet with unfinished business. Though Honda is expected to come through the field and make their way to the front, Chevrolet should put up a bigger fight than last year which means more excitement is in store. Chevrolet has the advantage of greater talent as it powers Team Penske and Andretti Autosport who are the favorites to win, but don't count Honda out because they still have the powerhouse of Chip Ganassi Racing on their side.
Few rivalries in sports are as respectfully heated as that of Team Penske and Target Chip Ganassi Racing in the IZOD IndyCar Series but this year's Indianapolis 500 takes it to another level. Each team has a driver pursuing a feat only accomplished by three other drivers in the history of the 500, a fourth win. Helio Castroneves and Dario Franchitti both have cars, teams, and abilities to take them to the promised land at the Mecca of auto racing, but, alas, only one of them can capture their fourth win on Sunday if the speedway decides to allow a fourth four-time winner. Penske and Ganassi are respectfully competitive and each would love to beat the other to the four time winner club. Is tomorrow the day?
It is long been believed that the teams have no control over who wins, but it is the hollowed ground of the Brickyard that decides who will finish on top. One of the Speedway's greatest allies in her decision is asking Mother Nature to provide twists in the melodrama. The forecast for the race is for a high temperature of 66 degrees, thirty degrees cooler than last year, and a forty percent chance of rain. Indianapolis Motor Speedway is hyper sensitive to weather so teams will have to stay on top of the forecast and strategize accordingly to be successful in being fast.
This will be the race of the year, at least so far, in terms of drama, excitement, competition, and, most of all, enjoyment. This field is so competitive and so closely matched that it cannot help but be enthralling to the viewer. Whether you are an avid race fan or know nothing about it this race will be the one to watch of the weekend and perhaps of the year. Enjoy the show, everyone…it is going to be an epic one!

A 64-year-old grandfather manhandled a shark away from people on the beach. It was caught on video and soon went viral. The man was hailed as a hero. He'd been vacationing in Australia with his wife when the shark, which experts say was probably sick, swam too close to shore. So he did what anyone would do -- or rather, what most people would NEVER do, but he did -- he pushed the shark back into open waters. Round of applause! When the man got back to Britain with his wife, the company he works for, which is a children's charity, was so impressed by his good deed that they ... fired him?!!!
Apparently the man, Paul Marshallsea, had been on sick leave from work due to stress. So when his bosses caught sight of him on a beach in Australia, they weren't too happy. They fired him and his wife, who had both worked there for 10 years, with a letter that read:
Whilst unfit to work you were well enough to travel to Australia. And, according to recent news footage of yourself in Queensland, you allegedly grabbed a shark by the tail and narrowly missed being bitten by quickly jumping out of the way.
Well, the media reports were a tad, shall we say, exaggerated. The video is below and Paul does a fine job of gently guiding the shark away from the shore, but he doesn't exactly grab it by the tail and wrestle it into submission, as many reported.
Either way, if he was on sick leave for stress, I don't understand why he couldn't take a de-stressing vacation. Was it part of his sick leave that he remain holed up in his bedroom, stressed and depressed? On the other hand, if the guy wanted a vacation, why not just ask for one? The British get tons of vacation time.
Anyway, this hardly seems like a good cause for termination. It's not like he was caught on video doing something illegal. However, it's probably best to stay away from cameras if you're somewhere you don't want your bosses to see.
Do you think he should have been fired?

Seems like a normal, definitely okay, reason to release someone. Companies don't give people sick time / sick leave / short term or long term disability leaves so that they can go on vacation. It's a bit odd that the article you wrote says both he and his wife were let go - were they both taking sick leave? Maybe they had taken all of their vacation and wanted another one. It's hard to say what the exact circumstances surrounding his dismissal were; however, it's definitely too bad that he was caught on tape moving the shark back into the ocean though - if he hadn't done that, he probably would still have his job.
If the sick leave was indeed for stress, then they shouldn't be able to fire him for taking a vacation to Austrailia, no matter how long the leave was for. Time off and time AWAY are what is usually needed to relieve stress. However, if either of them was on sick leave for any other reason, then yes, it was deserved.

Categories > Original > Drama > The Stupid Boy and the Outsider
Chapter 20 Reviews
The Stupid Booy and the Outsider Chapter 2
She just kicked me! I just had to get her out of the pool that day. Well, Iguess I can't blame her. I was a jerk for the first five years of knowing each other. I don't know why I was so mean. It was just weird and she was a girl all icky and with cooties. We're older now, more mature.
Man, what is taking her so long!?! I laid back on her bed while I waited. Wow, her bed is comfortable. No wonder she doesn't like getting up. I moved from side to side finding an uncomfortable position, but there isn't any.
"What are you doing?" Jackie asks walking out of her bathroom now in her sweats and her long, straight cut, black hair, usually left down was up in a high ponytail, ready to run.
"What does it look like I'm doing?" I ask back.
"I don't know, but you look like a dog wiggling around on its back," she says holding back a laugh.
"Whatever," I say jumping up and heading for her balcony. "Let's go jogging!"
Her hand stops me as I walk by her. "How about we take the front door like normal people?"
"Fine. You're no fun you know that?"
"Yeah, yeah let's just go." She walks out of her room and into the hallway.
"Hey kids, off to go on your morning run?" I hear Mr. M say from the living room.
"Joe did you climb up the trellis again?" Mrs. M asks coming out of the kitchen.
"Yes and yes," Jackie answers for me.
"Joe that's not very safe. You should really use the front door. You can even use the back door if you want," Mrs. M says.
"Well, that wouldn't be any fun Mrs. M. They don't call me Danger for nothing."And they don't.
"Okay we're going now. I'll be back later," Jackie says as she pulls me out of the house.
Our jogs were the same everyday. We'd go on the same route and it was always quiet. You'd think two friends would take this time to talk, but we didn't. We hardly talk; I can honestly say I don't know much about her. So why do I call her one of my best friends? I guess after I pulled her out of the pool we just had this unspoken truce that we were.
Every time we're out on these runs I can't help but think about what she's thinking about. Does she think about her real parents? She's never talked about them. I guess she wouldn't want to since that was usually what I was taunting her about. All I know is that her mom died a few months before she was adopted. Nothing more, nothing less. She never talks about her feelings, not that I do, but she's a girl, girls talk about that stuff all the time.
So what do I know about her? I know her name is Jackie Mathews, she was born here in Jersey, her birthday is January 28, she loves Chinese food, her other best friend is Bernadette "Berna" Rada, her favorite color is blue, she can throw a mean right hook, and the thing that she'd hate for others in school to find out is that she goes to a therapist. She'd do more than hit me if I ever mentioned that to people at school. She'd kill me!
We were walking to my house now. We always went to my house after our jogs.
"Hey Mrs. Jonas," Jackie said as we walked into the kitchen.
"Hey kids you hungry." Mom was almost always in the kitchen, she loves to cook.
"I'll just have an orange." She grabbed an orange from the fruit bowl while Ihelped myself to some eggs, pancakes, and bacon.
"Oh Jackie, you're not turning into one of those girls that hardly eats are you?" Mom asked.
"No, I don't mind getting fat," she said as she peeled the orange, a smile playing on her lips.
"Good, and you're no where near fat so don't worry about it," mom said with asmile. "So what are you guys up to today?"
Jackie shrugged. "I feel like staying in all day."
"Maybe we could go down to Blockbuster and rent a movie?" I suggested.
"Can we call Berna?"
For some reason I've been hanging out with Jackie and Berna more and more and with my other friends less and less. I was starting to feel like that guy in Lizzy Maguire, but I still had my guy friends that I hung out and played wiffleball with.
Jackie walked into the living room to call Berna while I stayed in the kitchen to finish up my breakfast.
"Well, Joe's still eating and we're still sweaty from our jog. Maybe we should meet up in an hour," I heard her say to Berna. "Hey I'm gonna go home and shower. I'll be back in 30 minutes okay."
"Yeah, 30 minutes," I called back.
I know there is more to Jackie than what she lets people think. She shows the world that she's just a regular girl, but I know inside there's something else, something deeper and more meaningful. I wanna know about her parent's, her real parents. I want her to be able to tell me about it. It's the least she could do to repay me for saving her life right?
I finish my breakfast and go upstairs to shower. Through the walls I can hear my older brother, Kevin in our room strumming on dad's old guitar. He started teaching himself how to play one day a few years ago. He turned out to be better than I thought; played like a pro after a few weeks. We're in a band with Nick, one of our younger brothers. Nick was the one to get noticed first, but when the record company heard us play with him they wanted to sign us too.
I let Kevin's little tune consume me as I finish rinsing off and walk out of the bathroom.
"Sounding good bro," I say as I throw my dirty clothes in our hamper.
"Thanks," Kevin says putting the guitar down. "What are you doing today?"
"I'm gonna head down to Blockbuster with Jackie. We're meeting Berna and renting a movie. Wanna come?"
"Yeah. We should ask Nick if he wants to come," Kevin said.
"Nick!" I yell.
"Geez Joe he's right down the hall just walk over."
I shrugged and walked out of the room. Nick comes out of the room he shares with our 4 year old brother Frankie.
"What?" He asks.
"We're going out, you wanna come?"
"Yeah, give me a minute," he says going back in his room. Probably putting on his shoes and putting away whatever lyrics he's been working on. He was always good at writing songs or words in general, but he never really said them out loud.
When he came back out the three of us headed down stairs.
"We're going out mom," I say.
"We'll be back soon," Kevin assures.
"Okay have fun, and be careful." She was always worried we'd do something stupid. Well, I have to admit I've done a few stupid things before. But I'm older now, I'm not that stupid.
"Okay," we all say back in unison.
We walk out the door and Jackie is stepping out of her house too. And then we walked all the way to the shopping center. Kevin really needs to get a car.
"Hey guys," Jackie says as she messes up Nick's already messy hair and puts her arm around him.
I think she likes him the best because he doesn't ask too much questions and their both good at keeping things to themselves. They're perfectly fine with just sitting in silence. It drives me crazy.
"Will you guys be watching the movie with us?" Jackie asks.
"Depends on the movie," Kevin says.
"We can make it a marathon. We'll all pick a movie and just sit on our butts all day watching them," Jackie suggests.
"I dunno, I just wanted to get out of the house for a little bit. I think I'll just go back to writing when we get home," Nick says.
Jackie and Nick start getting into a conversation on what Nick's songs are about. He never gives an answer though. His answers were usually different ways of saying, "Just some stuff I've been thinking about," and she's perfectly fine with that answer.
When we finally get to the shopping center we see Berna waiting for us in front of Blockbuster.
"I didn't know you were bringing the whole family," she said with a smile. "So what movie are we looking for?"
"Look for whatever you want, we're having a marathon!" I say a little hyper before running into the store.
After in the first minute Berna had already grabbed the movie she wanted to watch, "A Walk to Remember." Of course she picked a chick flick. I've never watched it, but it looks like a chick flick. I looked for one of my favorite movies, "Liar, Liar." That Jim Carey is hilarious. Kevin ended up picking out"Rush Hour 2" and Jackie picked "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."
When we were done at the cash register I saw a couple of my friends passing by. Apparently they saw me too since they were waving me to come out.
"What's up guys," I said when we stepped out of Blockbuster.
"Dude! Guess who just came back from their vacation in Vegas?" JD asked. He had brown hair, hazel eyes, and a little lanky, but he wasn't all that tall.
"I dunno who?"
"Kristine Koons!" a dirty blond hair and dark blue eyed Jerby yelled. He was so excited I thought his freckles were gonna pop out of his still baby fat filled cheeks.
I heard a sound similar to a grunt and the word "ew" mixed together from behind me. I turned around to see Berna had a sour look on her face. She and Kristine never got along. I never knew why, but I never asked.
"What's so special about that? We've known Kristine since elementary school," I asked. She was never popular or anything... well I guess her dad's money made her a little popular, but she never got anyone as excited as these two were now.
"You'll change your mind when you see her now," Jerby said.
"Yeah, man. I heard she got her dad to higher a personal trainer."
"And now she's pretty fine," Jerby interrupted JD while making an hourglass figure in the air.
"Who cares?" Berna finally blurted out. "Let's just go."
"Lost all your fight Rada? Or are you just scared?" Someone said off to the right.
We all turned toward the voice and there she was Kristine Koonz with her dark hair and porcelain skin, her baby fat gone, braces gone, and her eyes were like coal that burned into you. Jerby was right, she is pretty fine.

Book Description
Tired of playing the same old openings? Bored with stuffy opening theory? This book provides a welcome antidote!
Former American Open Champion Cyrus Lakdawala presents a range of vicious weapons for White in a repertoire which is perfect for those who have little time for study, but enjoy taking opponents out of their comfort zones and causing them problems from the very beginning.
The repertoire's backbone is provided by the aggressive Veresov Opening (1 d4, 2 Nc3 and 3 Bg5) and this weapon is accompanied by equally hostile options against other Black tries such as the French, Caro-Kann, Dutch, Benoni, Pirc and Philidor. These weapons are ideal choices for those who revel in forcing opponents into chaotic, uncomfortable positions.
Cyrus Lakdawala is an International Master, a former National Open and American Open Champion, and a six-time State Champion. He has been teaching chess for 30 years, and coaches some of the top junior players in the US.

People - Real Faith
Dear God, Why did You pick my Mom?
by Millie Roig
I was only twelve years old when mom died. She was diagnosed with breast cancer at age 34. That was eight years ago. Of course I didn't know what was wrong with mom or how really sick she was. All I knew was that she would go to the doctor, come home, and have to go to sleep. My brother and I were not allowed to bother mommy when she was sleeping. I was just a little kid who wanted mommy to spend all her time with me and not sleep so much. I really didn't know I would have to watch my mother suffer and die before I was really old enough to understand.
I could see the pain in Grandma's eyes. She's trying to hide her feelings and act like everything is going to be just fine. But I knew everything wasn't okay and my life would never be the same again.

Found March 25, 2013 on Pro Football Zone:
PLAYERS: Sebastian Vollmer
TEAMS: New England Patriots
TEAMS: New England Patriots
The New England Patriots locked up offensive lineman Sebastian Vollmer to a multi-year contract. According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Vollmer's contract is for four years and is worth up to $27 million. He'll earn $8.25 million during the first year of the contract. I think Vollmer got a pretty fair deal for a right tackle. Especially when you compare his contract to the one the Giants gave Will Beatty, who's a left tackle. Need NFL Tickets? var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; _CI.counter = (_CI.counter) ? _CI.counter + 1 : 1; document.write(''); script.type = 'text/javascript'; var _CI = _CI || {}; (function() { var script = document.createElement('script'); ref = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; _CI.counter = (_CI.counter) ? _CI.counter + 1 : 1; document.write(''); script.type = 'text/javascript'; script.src = 'http://widget.crowdignite.com/widgets/27484?_ci_wid=_CI_widget_'+_CI.counter; script.async = true; ref.parentNode.insertBefore(script, ref); })();

This Caroline Kennedy concept doesn't sound like a great idea to me for most of the familiar reasons, but give her this — unlike the current occupant of the seat she's actually lived most of her life in the State of New York. I'd say that would be a step in the right direction for my homeland. Hillary Clinton turned out to be a fine Senator, but I always thought it was bizarre that she was given the nomination in the first place.

Maplin is the circuit city of uk. They have plenty of electronics which are cheapest you will find anywhere.
The staff are very helpful and are very technical. They will even read circuit diagrams and get the components for you. It is amazing. The number of electronics there is immense. Lots of good products.
If you are looking for good quality electronics look no further than Maplins, the store stocks a wide range of electronics from Monitors, usbs, TVs, radio,s DVD makers, LCD, wireless, hard drive,digital camera
Maplin is an electronics store where you can buy up to standard products for good prices
Good size store for looking around, as well as spacious, delivery facilities available.
Maplin reminds me of Tandy (same sort of retail network that went bust 10 years back). Maplin sell all these bits and bobs that only nerdy people (no offence people but that includes me). But I have to say they do sell a lot of silly bits and bobs. I get their weekly newsletter via email and its has a lot of rubbish in it. Their shops look a little dated, their layout and what they stock too.
And who said Maplin is like Circuit City in the US? The bankrupted US chain sold TV's, computers, sound systems, light bulbs, to transformers. Maplin doesn't do everything just the odd bits and bobs.
This is one store you can't compromise the quality of the electronics you get here,the least item in maplin is of high quality,i bought some rechargeable battery and its charger,few years back,they are still looking brand new and waxing strong.
f you need any electrical or electronic components, or you are into gadgets, then this is the place to shop. Everything from tiny little resistors through to computer systems and satellite dishes. My young son is very much into gadgets and particularly likes building things. So I went here to get some ideas for a Christmas present and suddenly came across the electronic build it yourself kits that they do. Great idea because there are numerous different types and projects available with a range of prices and difficulty levels to suit everyone. My son loves them and keeps recommending different ones to do to his friends.
maplin is a very good place,they cater most things needed and if not they point u in the right direction.. they are not badly priced either for most things.when they have got what u want in stock but on a whole there a good place to check out before argos..

Caregiver Support Group
Thursday, October 23
10:00 am-11:30 am
Being a caregiver can be mentally, physically, and emotionally draining under the best of circumstances. The challenges of caring for a sick or elderly loved one can often result in caregivers ignoring their own physical and emotional health, often to the extent that they don't recognize or cope with the symptoms of stress that they are experiencing.
Temple Emanu-El's Caregiver Support Group offers a safe place to discuss the stresses and challenges of providing care for a loved one, as well as strategies for also caring for yourself.
Our Caregiver Support Group is free of charge and is open to Temple members and guests alike.
Refreshments will be provided. Please RSVP (so we know how much to order) by calling 561-832-0804 or to firstname.lastname@example.com

A lawsuit Moline schools filed against Governor Pat Quinn and several state and county agencies had its day in court Thursday. Moline schools are suing over a tax exemption state lawmakers are giving to "Elliott Aviation". The company rents land at the Quad City International Airport and the special tax exemption only applies to "Elliott Aviation."
During Thursday's hearing the district asked the judge to stop the tax exempt status from going into effect on June 1st. The district's attorneys say making a for profit company tax exempt is unconstitutional, because that status is only for not for profit companies. The district also argued the tax break will have a negative effect on students and cost the district $150,000 a year.
Attorneys for Governor Quinn, the State and Rock Island County say that's not the case. The lawyers say none of the people being sued are lawmakers and this issue isn't appropriate for court.
"Elliott Aviation" is not involved in this lawsuit and says the exemption will allow them to create jobs by making the company more competitive. The company has announced a $1.8-million investment that will create 50 jobs.
The judge will issue his ruling next week.

India Starts Paying Big For Software—Will China Follow?
India has never paid much for software, but that may be changing, according to a new Gartner report.
With the Indian software economy growing at a hearty 10% clip, there are signs that indicate India is growing out of the rampant software piracy that has long characterized the market. The question is whether or not this trend bodes well for vendors hoping to do business in other hot economies, too—like China.
India Is A Tough Slog For Software Companies
India has long been a difficult market for software companies. While Asia-Pacific ("APAC") accounts for roughly 10% to 20% of revenues for established companies like IBM, Oracle, Adobe and Salesforce.com, "in general [India] makes up a very small percentage of APAC [revenue]," with the bulk of that revenue concentrated in a few large accounts, as Chirag Mehta, SAP's VP of Product Management and Business Development, notes.
Part of the problem is piracy. Western nations, whose piracy rates hover between 20% to 30%, have long traditions of intellectual property. In the APAC region, including India, this simply hasn't been the case. The tension between U.S. and Indian notions of intellectual property has simmered to a boil in recent years, particularly with regard to patents.
The irony is that things are actually getting better. For at least a decade, India's rate of software piracy has been in steady decline. From 2005 (when 74% of all software was pirated) to 2008 (69%) to 2011 (63%), India's rate of software piracy has been dropping off pretty consistently. The question is why, and whether India's growing willingness to pay for software suggests other rising economies in the East will also pay for software.
India's Software Boom
Though 63% of PC software in the country is pirated, India actually spends quite a bit of money on software. India software revenue increased totaled upwards of $4.7 billion in 2013, a 10% increase from the year prior, according to Gartner. That's incredibly fast, especially when compared to other fast-moving software economies like Russia (8.9% growth), Brazil (7.8%), China (7.0%) and South Africa (6.3%).
That revenue isn't evenly split. It tends to concentrate in larger firms offering complex, proprietary software that isn't easily replicated by local software firms, as Gartner's data shows:
So complexity sells, but what else? According to Gartner research director Bhavish Sood, "recent advances in IT communications infrastructure in the country has opened up new avenues for local consumption of IT software and associated services." These investments point to an infrastructure that can more easily support a variety of network-based services like software-as-a-service, or SaaS, which is impossible to pirate.
For companies that deliver SaaS, this suggests a potential gold rush could be coming, as APAC leads the world in cloud-based software adoption:
IBM and other software companies are betting big on India's ability to prove this general APAC trend.
So What About China?
India's march toward paid software might bode well for those that want to do business in China. Definitely, maybe.
China's piracy rate, which was declining before it stalled in 2010, today roughly coincides with India's piracy rate 10 years ago. It's unlikely this will change overnight.
Like India, China has an abundance of highly skilled engineers. As such, China, like India, tends to use open-source software heavily, rarely paying for support subscriptions. But also, like their Indian counterparts, Chinese enterprises seem inclined to pay for complex, proprietary enterprise software that's more advanced than domestic firms have yet developed.
But the question isn't from whom China gets its software. The question is whether China will pay for that software at all.
The answer seems to be "yes, China will pay for software," even if they're doing it more for the technical support than the actual software.
While China would seem like a boon for open source vendors that sell support subscriptions, the requirements for competing in China are tough for non-Chinese companies. Thanks to government support and deep understanding of local business requirements, Chinese software companies were able to quickly take control of the market through the 1990s and 2000s. And this Chinese software offers multi-tiered, 24/7 support through large teams of customer support personnel, which is awfully tough for outsiders to match.
The other ways to make money in China's software market involve selling hardware appliances (e.g., Huawei's SAP HANA appliance) or hosted services (Salesforce.com has been doing business there since 2007).
Complex, Cloud Or Hardware
Making money in China is somewhat similar to making money in India: The software has to either be more complex than the local market has been able to build on its own, or it must be baked into hardware (through appliances), or the network (through SaaS).
Given the legacy-licensed software model is in retreat everywhere, the stars may be aligning to allow more Western software or software service vendors to break into India and China in a significant way. This will require considerable investment in understanding these local markets, of course, but the economies of China and India may make the effort worthwhile.
