ON MENTAL ILLNESS: The Epidemic of Sleep Apnea
One of the ways a person with mental illness might avoid a premature death is to keep up with their health. A part of this is to get a sleep study. Sleep apnea is a condition in which breathing during sleep is hindered by an obstruction in the airway. Researchers believe it can cause a whole slew of problems, including but not limited to depression and/or a worsening of other psychiatric conditions.
Sleep apnea is not specifically in the domain of persons with mental illness-it is an illness that affects the mainstream population. However, persons with mental illness probably have a higher than average rate of sleep apnea.
Problems with sleep apnea can range from a mild annoyance to a life-threatening condition. Persons with mental illness, because of being overweight, and because of being medicated, are more likely to have breathing problems while sleeping.
Leaving it up to Mother Nature is unwise. There are numerous ways that a human being can die a premature death when leaving health issues up to Mother Nature. It is a fallacy that the human body somehow knows how to correct all of its inherent and acquired problems. It is up to intelligent discretion to decide which things in the body will self-correct, versus which things ought to be intervened upon. Do you want to live naturally, or live long? You can't necessarily do both.
Modern human beings probably need more frequent medical intervention, in this generation in comparison to previous generations. This is partly because of the prevalence of fast food (as well as the general food supply being doctored up with sugar and fat), causes of stress in the environment, and genetic deterioration of the species. Also, in the past instead of the prevalence of medical help, people died more often.
I am no fan of unnecessary medical treatments. If a person can get by okay without adding a drug or other treatment, they should. This is true partly because this generation of prescription drugs has a nasty passel of harmful side effects. Thus, taking a drug to solve one problem can bring about multiple other problems.
If someone has sleep apnea which affects oxygen to the body, taking a sleeping pill will not only fail to address the problem, it could make the condition worse, and this can cause dire medical complications.
Treating sleep apnea, if you have it, is one of those things of which you should not deprive yourself. Sleep apnea results in lack of oxygen to the brain while you attempt to get some sleep. The lack of oxygen that you're getting forces the heart to work much harder-sleep apnea can cause serious heart problems. The heart works very hard to compensate for the lack of breathing; this is because the human body is designed to try and protect your brain and other organs from damage due to lack of oxygen.
I have heard of numerous persons with mental illness (some of whom I have met, others I have been told about) dying in their sleep or dying from heart problems. Death occurring in your sleep or caused by a weakened heart are two possible outcomes of severe sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea entails repeatedly waking up during sleep due to the emergency of not getting enough air. People are often completely unaware of this until someone observes their sleep and tells them about it. Additionally, sleep apnea prevents REM sleep which means that you're not really getting enough rest. Once a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine is introduced, the patient begins to feel a whole lot better while they are awake.
The mild air pressure of the CPAP machine opens up the breathing passage that has collapsed while asleep. You are still breathing under your own power. However, your breathing is no longer stopped due to weight or due to obstruction in the airway.
You might wonder if by using the CPAP, you will become dependent upon it, and will be stuck for the rest of your life sleeping with a breathing machine. However, on the contrary, I have read an article that said the CPAP functions as a splint. This means that the machine's beneficial effect is at work even when you are not hooked up; such as when you inadvertently, temporarily remove the mask in your sleep.
The CPAP machine works to counteract the atmospheric pressure on the outside of the body and it also compensates for the effect of gravity, both of these are factors that make it harder to breathe at night. Oxygen to the body is improved, and so is the quality of sleep, which means that you will get more rest and you will not be deprived of oxygen. This will help you feel better.
Sleep apnea, again, is somewhat more common among people with mental illness because our weight is usually higher, and we're dealing with the effects of sedating medication.
The question, if you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea is, are you going to evade treatment and qualify as a masochist, or go with treatment, and be a smart and healthy person? It is up to you.

As we reflect on the impact and legacies of John Johansen and Oscar Niemeyer, we thought we share some of the published work for the Docomomo International Journal and the Docomomo US E-News related to both architects.
Most recently, Docomomo US carried the ongoing story on Johansen's endangered Stage Center Theater (originally called the Mummer's Theatre) in Oklahoma City and the local movement to reuse and reopen the site. Another Johansen theater, the Morris A. Mechanic Theater in Baltimore, was also featured in a Docomomo US news piece. A longer piece on the modern homes in New Canaan entitled, In the Shadow of the Glass House written by Gwen North Reiss includes a concluding segment about Johansen's demolished Dickinson House. "Demolished under the cover of darkness" Ms. North Reiss states "two members of Docomomo's New York Chapter, who had hoped to include the house in a tour, came upon it in an ominous state – doors opened, trees cleared. The next morning, it was gone." But she continues quoting Johansen himself in his usual upbeat manner, "I still have all the plans and drawings for my houses. If anyone wants to build one, I'll offer my services free."
The work of Oscar Niemeyer and the efforts to document and preserve his buildings has been discussed and published by Docomomo many times of the course of the last two decades. The first of which includes the Journal 23 (August 2000) entitled The Modern City Facing the Future in which involves a critical reassessment of modern planning principals and practice both in Brasilia and beyond. The companion Sixth International Docomomo Conference Proceedings (September 2000) includes a number of papers on the work of Oscar Niemeyer and Lucio Costa. Ten years later celebrating Brasilia's 50 years, Docomomo Journal 43 (2010) "reflects both on the incomprehension of the critic and the happiness of the inhabitants." Finally although not a Docomomo published piece, we found this wonderful documentary by Motherboard TV entitled Oscar Niemeyer 101 that is well worth its 10 minutes of reflection.

Health and fitness news from around the globe.
According to a recent IDEA survey, Pilates-based classes have increased (among the survey participants' clubs) from 10 percent in 1997 to 47 percent in 2001. All in all, there are approximately 500 facilities that offer the exercise program based on the works of Joseph Pilates, states a news release from Stott Pilates.
The National Fitness Therapy Association (NFTA) and American Council on Exercise (ACE) have partnered to promote education, training and professionalism in the delivery of post-rehabilitation therapy and preventive health care services. Through the partnership, ACE will become an associate member of NFTA, and the council's Clinical Exercise Specialist (CES) certification will be endorsed by the association as one of the top certifications recognized for accreditation as a medical fitness professional.
Men are less likely to take exercise advice than women, indicates a new study sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI). While women were more likely to improve their fitness level following counseling by health care professionals, the men were much more resistant to change their unhealthy behavior patterns, researchers report.
In a study of 874 inactive men and women, study participants were broken down into three control groups. One group was given a standard doctor's "pep talk" regarding a healthy lifestyle plus a referral to a health educator. The second group received behavioral counseling in addition to the pep talk, as well as one telephone call, an electronic device to measure activity, and a monthly newsletter. The third group received all of the above, as well as regular telephone counseling and weekly informational classes. After two years, scientists' data showed that none of the male participants heeded doctors' advice on diet and exercise, while women reported an increase in activity levels.
Scientists are unclear at this time as to why men were more resistant to professional exercise advice than women.
Grandparents are more active than their grandchildren, according to the 14th annual Superstudy of Sports Participation, conducted by American Sports Data. According to the study, nearly one out of four health club members in the United States is age 55-plus. In fact, 55-plus membership has grown a whopping 379 percent since 1987, four times as fast as the general health club population.
Counting all forms of exercise, including gym workouts, 26 percent of all seniors over the age of 55 participated in a single fitness activity on at least 100 occasions in 2000. This compares with 23 percent for the 35-54 age group and 20 percent for those 18-34. Particularly significant, however, is that only 18 percent of children ages 12-17 participated in frequent fitness activities in the year 2000 — a decline of 31 percent from the rate measured in 1987, according to the study.

Evidence from Unexpected Inheritance due to Sudden DeathAndersen, Steffen; Meisner Nielsen, Kasper (Frederiksberg, 2010)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: We use a natural experiment to investigate the impact of participation constraints on individuals' decisions to invest in the stock market. Unexpected inheritance due to sudden deaths results in exogenous variation in financial wealth and allows us to examine whether fixed entry and ongoing participation costs cause non-participation. We have three key findings. First, windfall wealth has a positive effect on participation. Second, the majority of households do not react to sizeable windfalls by entering the stock market, but hold on to substantial safe assets—even over longer horizons. Third, the majority of households inheriting stock holdings actively sell the entire portfolio. Overall, these findings suggest that participation by many individuals is unlikely to be constrained by financial participation costs. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8169

Abstract: Why do donor countries give foreign aid? The answers found in the literature are: (i) because donor countries care for recipient countries (e.g. altruism), and/or (ii) because there exist distortions that make the indirect gains from foreign aid (e.g. terms of trade effects) to be larger than the direct losses. This paper proposes a third answer to the above question, namely that aid is determined through the domestic political process of the donor country. The paper demonstrates how foreign aid affects the donor country's income distribution and how, in a direct democracy, the majority of voters might benefit from foreign aid giving even though the country's social welfare is reduced.

Abstract: Price-earnings ratios are part of the toolkit that is used for assessing the valuation of individual firms on the stock market as well as the entire market itself. This paper presents consistent P/E series for the liquid Danish shares adjusted for share buybacks. The results show that over the period from 1969 to 2003, the average (trailing) P/E equals 13.5. The P/E reaches its lowest level in 1980, which is likely to be due to a soaring oil price, high wage increases and interest rates approaching 20 percent. Notwithstanding optimistic equity pricing also in Denmark in the late 1990s, the upturn in Danish valuations was more moderate than in the US. The correction that sets in subsequently reversed essentially the gains in the Danish P/E in the 1990s. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7620

Abstract: Inspired by recent regulations in the New York ICAP market, this paper examines the e ect of price regulations on a multi-unit uniform price auction. General bid caps reduce the maximum price below the bid cap, but also the minimum potential market price below the cap. A bid cap only for the larger rms does not guarantee a market price below the cap. A su ciently high bid oor only for relatively small rms destroys some or all pure strategy equilibria with equilibrium prices above the marginal costs. With a general bid oor this happens only with considerably larger bid oors. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/9245

Separating the Impact of Dual Class Shares, Pyramids and Cross-ownership on Firm Value Across Legal Regimes in Western EuropeBennedsen, Morten; Meisner Nielsen, Kasper (København, 2005)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Recent policy initiatives within the harmonization of European company laws have promoted a so-called "principle of proportionality" through proposals that regulate mechanisms opposing a proportional distribution of ownership and control. We scrutinize the foundation for these initiatives by analyzing the use of instruments to separate ownership from control across legal regimes in a sample of over 4,000 publicly traded firms from 14 Western European countries. First, we confirm the negative impact on firm value from disproportional ownership structures previously established in a sample of Asian firms by Claessens et al. (2002). Second, we show that dual class shares have a larger and more significant negative effect on firm value than pyramids and cross holdings. Third, we find that the impact of disproportionality and the underlying instruments is inversely related to the level of investor protection. Thus, dual class shares and pyramids substitute legal protection in countries with inadequate investor protection. Fourth, we find no evidence of a significant effect of disproportionality instruments on earnings performance. Finally, we discuss policy implications of these findings in relationship to the process of harmonization of the European capital markets.

Abstract: Abstract: The balance of payments of Greenland has special features due to an important current transfer, bloktilskud, from Denmark. The trade balance does not exhibit a deficit of this order of magnitude but comparison of the bloktilskud and the deficit is difficult as official figures are available for the merchandise trade only. Figures for services are missing. However, guesses about the size of a deficit in the services' trade do not easily discard the impression of a large surplus on the current account. Over a ten year period it is suggested that accumulated surpluses could be twice the level of Greenland's GDP. This seems unlikely, but the available data raise a puzzle that ought to be addressed as it nourishes suspicion of unobserved accumulation of wealth. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7550

Abstract: The role of product and marketing innovation for productivity growth is addressed using survey and register data for the Danish economy. It is argued that marketing and product innovation are complementary inputs and that innovation activities are skill-intensive. It is found that product and marketing innovation in skill-intensive firms results in significantly faster productivity growth than in unskilled-intensive firms that introduce this combination of innovation activities. More precisely, an increase in the share of educated workers of one percentage point, increases productivity growth by around 0.1 percentage point in firms with product and marketing innovation. In addition, it is found that firms that engage in product innovation but not in marketing innovation or the other way around do not demonstrate a growth effect from their innovation activities. It is also found that product and marketing innovation has an independent role in productivity growth that cannot be attributed to organisational changes, even though the majority of innovative firms engage in this latter innovation type.

Abstract: Product Market Integration, Comparative Advantages and Labour Market Performance* In a two-country model with trade driven by comparative advantages, it is considered how imperfectly competitive labour markets are affected by lower frictions in international goods trade. Easier goods trading is equivalent to increased mobility of employment across countries and thus a change in the trade-off between wages and employment faced by wage setters. While the effects of product market integration on the trade-off between wages and employment in general is ambiguous, it is shown that product market integration works like a general improvement in productivity via the specialization it allows through trade. Unambiguously, real wages and employment and welfare improve upon reductions in trade frictions, and therefore workers are better off irrespective of whether the market power of unions is enhanced or muted.

Abstract: In this paper, we set up a two-country general equilibrium model where trade unions have wage bargaining power. We show that a decrease in trade distortions inducing further product market integration gives rise to specialization gains as well as a labour market reform effect. The implications of the specialization gains are similar to an increase in labour productivity, whereas the labour market reform effect is similar to an increase in the degree of competition in the labour market. Wages, employment and welfare increase as a result of further product market integration. It is interesting to note that the labour market reform effect of product market integration is achieved despite an increase in the wage level. JEL Classification: F15, J30, J50.

En analyse på baggrund af en detaljeret uddannelsesopdeling. Teknisk baggrundsnotatFosse, Henrik Barslund; Højbjerg Jacobsen, Rasmus (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: CEBR har for Djøf udført en opgave, der har bestået i at få klarlagt produktivitetseffekter af uddannelse på et relativt højt detaljeniveau. Opgaven omfatter to dele: Den første del er en klarlægning af såkaldte egen- og fælleseffekter på 16 uddannelsesgrupper defineret ud fra fire uddannelseslængder og fire uddannelsesretninger. Beregningerne er udført på brancheniveau og inden for sektorerne privat fremstilling og privat service. Den anden del af opgaven omfatter en konsekvensberegning af at løfte Danmark op i OECD's top 5, når det gælder andel af personer på arbejdsmarkedet med en videregående uddannelse. CEBR har beregnet produktivitetseffekter inden for sektorerne privat fremstilling og privat service. Endelig har Djøf ønsket, at de samlede produktivitetsgevinster af et uddannelsesløft omsættes til populære størrelser i velfærdsdebatten. Dette notat indeholder en beskrivelse af beregninger af uddannelseseffekter. Beregningerne tager udgangspunkt i allerede estimerede marginaleffekter og følger tidligere anvendte metoder. Notatet inddelt som følger: Kapitel 2 er et kort teknisk kapitel, der informerer om data samt kort opremser litteraturgrundlaget og de anvendte metoder til at beregne effekterne af uddannelse.

Abstract: Denne rapport handler om den ekstra værdi, som højtuddannede er med til at skabe i de virksomheder, hvor de er ansat. En ekstra værdi som sætter virksomhederne i stand til at levere kunderne serviceydelser og produkter i en højere kvalitet eller til en lavere pris end ellers. Den ekstra værdi kan opstå på mange forskellige måder afhængigt af uddannelse og branche. Eksempelvis skaber det ekstra værdi, at kvinden med boret er uddannet tandlæge, når man sætter sig i tandlægestolen for at få en omfattende og måske bekostelig behandling. For en familie, der køber og renoverer et gammelt hus, har det også ekstra værdi, at det er en uddannet el-installatør, som udfører el-arbejdet. Det kræver loven i øvrigt også. Ligesom det har værdi for en dansk vækstvirksomhed, som opkøber en udenlandsk konkurrent, at uddannede jurister har styr på kontrakten, så investeringen sker på det rette grundlag. Denne rapport sætter for første gang i en dansk sammenhæng krone og ører på den ekstra værdi – også kaldet højere produktivitet – som samlet er forbundet med alle de meget forskellige kategorier af videregående uddannelser i den private sektor1. Analyserne viser effekterne opdelt på uddannelseslængde, fagretning og branche. Mere uddannelse skaber højere værditilvækst pr. præsteret time i den private sektor. Dermed er der udsigt til højere produktivitet ved at øge uddannelsesniveauet. Samtidig foretages en samlet beregning som viser, at velstanden i Danmark vil stige betydeligt i form af øget BNP, hvis en større andel af de privatansatte har en videregående uddannelse. Flere højt-uddannede privatansatte vil forbedre virksomhedernes produktivitet og dermed styrke konkurrenceevnen. Det vil også kunne få en gunstig indvirkning på eksport og beskæftigelse.

Abstract: We consider a model of commercial television market, where private broadcasters coexist with a public television broadcaster. Assuming that the public TV station follows a policy of Ramsey pricing whereas the private stations are profit maximizers, we consider the equilibria in this market and compare with a situation where the public station is privatized and acts as another private TV broadcaster. A closer scrutiny of the market for commercial television leads to a distinction between target rating points, which are the prime unit of account in TV advertising, and net coverage, which is the final goal of advertisers. Working with net coverage as the fundamental concept, we exploit the models of competition between public and private price and quantity in order to show that privatization of the public TV station entails a welfare loss and results in TV advertising becoming more expensive.

Abstract: In recent years, venture capital has become an important source for nancing young entrepreneurial rms. Given the apparently more innovative nature and extra value added of venture capital backed rms compared to other firms, policy makers have taken an increasing interest in an active venture capital industry. We explore how selected policy instruments determine the incentives of individuals to start up new rms and of venture capitalists to nance and advise them, and how policy thereby influences the size and nature of the industry and how it aspects aggregate welfare. We examine the impact of wage and corporate income taxes as well as capital gains taxes and start-up capital subsidies on the volume and quality of venture capital backed entrepreneurship.

An explorative study of the contracts of the Tender Electronic Daily (TED)la Cour, Lisbeth; Milhøj, Anders (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Public procurement is estimated to constitute more than 16% of GDP in the EU, see e.g. Ramsey (2006). This is one of the reasons why a lot of interest has been attached to this topic. Most of the papers in this field have been of a theoretical nature but during the last ten years also a few empirical studies have become available, see e.g. Marion, J. (2007) and Bajari et al (2008). At the EU level liberalizations have been going on since the late 80'ies (see e.g. the EU commission (1985). Here certain regulations imply that public projects of a certain size need to be subject to a public tender. Again according to Ramsey (2006) around 16% of all public procurement in the EU is subject to these rules and regulations and information on the contracts corresponding to these 16% can be found in Tenders Electronic Daily (TED) database. In general, the hypothesis is that public procurement will increase competition and ultimately lead to cheaper contracts for the authorities, see e.g. Cecchini (1988) for the economic arguments. But in practice: do the rules and regulations ensure more competition? Do they lead to more internationalization in the sense that more foreign firms become contract winners? Do the government and municipalities in the EU countries actually gain economically from the procurement? Does the choice of type of procedure matter? A lot of interesting questions immediately pops up and some of them – but only some of them - may be analyzed based on the content of this data base. Still, due to the large coverage and the international nature of the data base we believe that a thoroughly study of the possibilities of TED is of major interest and the present study is just a first step in this direction. One of the students who extracted the TED data has also used them for analysis in his master thesis, see Bundsgaard (2010). He has, however, limited his interest to analyze the choice of procedure: auction vs. negotiation and therefore our study has a broader scope when it comes to available variables. To our knowledge we are the first group of researchers who begins to analyze the content of this database using explorative statistical techniques based on a broad range of variables.

There is a saying, "behind every man is a good woman," and almost always that woman is his wife. Such is the case with SoCal native Eric "Big Huero" LaScala Sr. Huero grew up in East Los Angeles during the 1970's and 80's, a time when gang activity was at an all time high. Huero got caught up in the gang life, and was bouncing in and out of jail as a result. That was until his wife, Laurie, came along and got him straightened out and away from the gangster lifestyle.
Of course growing up in East Los Angeles, Huero has always been around Lowriders, so it was only natural for him to keep the interest in this culture for all of these years. His first build was a Lowrider Bike for his son Eric Jr. After that, he bought and began working on a 1948 Chevy truck, but was forced to sell it. Three years later, he bought a 1951 Chevy truck, and built and owned it for nine years.
The '37 Master Deluxe became Huero's after he traded the '51 truck for it. He had gotten word that the Bomb was sitting in a tow yard in Norco, California. He drove out to see it, and instantly made the deal to bring it home.
The car was in desperate need of some TLC, so Huero decided to tear it down and go all out with a full restoration. The car was dropped off at Mr. Bill's Auto Body in Whittier, California where Jose prepped the body and sprayed the House of Kolors Beige Mocha on the exterior. Once the paint was done, Danny A's Pinstriping took care of accenting the body and adding the lettering on the glass. Carl from Cal-Tron Plating in Whittler, California restored and re-chromed all of the chrome pieces on the car. Eric added some accessories on the outside of the '37, including an Italian flag on the rear license plate, celebrating his Italian ancestry.
With the exterior done, it was time to move on to the interior. Ramon from Santana Auto Upholstery covered the interior with materials that fit the original look and feel of the car when it was built in 1937. Little Al Acosta from Downey, California completed the interior upgrades by adding a head unit and speakers, which were hidden in the car to keep the aesthetics looking like the 1930's.
Huero wanted the Chevy to lie on the frame and still ride smoothly, so he had Little Eric from Big Lou's in Santa Fe Springs, California install a Viair compressor and a air-ride suspension, and then took the Chevy to the Drag-On Shop, also in Santa Fe Springs, where they added a C-Notch, and tunnel, plus a 4-link to the suspension. As you can see from the accompanying photos, Huero accomplished what he set out to do. The ride now lies on the frame, and still rides smoothly when he is out cruising in it.
After three years and a nice monetary investment, Huero produced an excellent example of a 1937 Chevy Master Deluxe. The '37 has won its share of trophies at local car shows and cruise nights, and it grabbed our attention at the True Memories Whittier Boulevard Car Show in the fall of 2009.
Huero would like to thank his wife, Laurie, for sticking by him all these years and guiding him away from the gang life. He credits her with his successes in life. He would also like to thank his children, Eric Jr. and Destinie, for supporting him and his Lowriding passion. Huero sends a special thanks to Joe Epstein for his guidance and support of the build. We here at Lowrider would like to thank Huero for the opportunity to feature his '37. Good work Eric!

I grew up with a homemade "Official Yankees Hater" poster in my childhood bedroom.
But I never understood Red Sox fans who hate Derek Jeter, who probably has taken the brunt of the mockery on Boston's raunchy souvenir t-shirts over the years.
Turns out that these kind of crass souvenirs don't sell well in Boston anymore, but they are selling like hotcakes in the Bronx.
I explore the fascinating reasons why in The Atlantic:

Hit It Bubba Long (in Your Dreams)
"DON'T JUST HIT IT LONG. Hit it Bubba long." That's Bubba Watson talking in the above spot for Ping G15 and K15 drivers.
I understand. It's marketing. But it still makes me smile. I can hit it Bubba long? Really?
Last time I checked (which was a few seconds ago), Bubba was averaging 311.7 yards per drive on the PGA Tour this season. That's well above the average driving distance of your run-of-the-mill PGA Tour player. Which means most of Bubba's fellow players can't even hit it Bubba long.
(By the way, Bubba's driving accuracy is virtually identical to the PGA Tour average: 60.03% vs. 60.20%. So Bubba is pretty darn straight while being Bubba long.)
I played golf with my dad in California using a borrowed set of clubs. Dad is a tinkerer, so he has assorted golf clubs, golf balls, a carry bag, the works, in his garage. It includes a respectable backup set of irons and several drivers and fairway metals. That's what I use when I show up. There's no need to lug my set through airports for a couple of nine-hole rounds.
Anyway, I hit the snot out of a Ping driver my dad no longer uses, a part of my makeshift borrowed set. I really killed it. In fact, I hit it straighter and farther than my own driver. To be honest, it was a better club than the piece of junk I carry in my bag. It was a Ping.
But I didn't hit it Bubba long. Not even close.

Yes! The cobbled together loaner set from dad's garage! Had a similar experience recently with an old Cleveland driver, a weird negative bounce wedge, and a Yes! putter. Tried to talk my dad out of those clubs, but they remain in his garage for my next trip to town.
Reason #1 I never hit someone else's club(s). I do not want to know how good it could be with something else!!
I am assembling a "loaner set" as time goes by. Hard to do with donating all the clubs to various relatives. However, right now it a fairly respectable set, minus a few long irons.
- Charles Prokop said...
We should all just pass around our old clubs to each other. We'd play better as long as we kept passing them fast enough. If we hung on to ones we liked, they'd lose their magic.

Well said, men. I think we all agree there are magic sticks stowed away in garages across America.

Why buy property in fethiye Turkey
Property buying in the Fethiye area of Turkey means you get more per square metre than most other areas of Turkey.
Investment property, holiday homes, or permanent homes can be purchased in Fethiye, in a range of areas, whether it be a stylish luxury villa in Ovacik with stunning Oludeniz sea views, a seafront apartment in the Calis Beach area, an exclusive marina property in Gocek or a humble apartment in Tasyaka, Fethiye offers it all, quite often at affordable prices that suit almost everyone's budget.
The type of property and area you choose to buy depends on your reason for buying. If you are searching for a buy-to-let option for holiday rentals then Calis Beach, Ovacik, Hisaronu and Gocek are ideal areas offering excellent rental potential for summer bookings. Permanent home buyers tend to buy in Calis, Tasyaka and Deliktas for the excellent everyday local amenities, though some do prefer more rural locations away from resort life, in the villages that sit on the outskirts of Fethiye, such as Uzumlu, Kemer, Ciftlik and Yaniklar all having excellent road and public transport connections to the centre. Holiday home buyers tend to buy in their favourite location, though some do buy in central Fethiye areas for the ideal base to explore everything that Fethiye has to offer.

The Asian side of the energetic city of Istanbul is said to be the calmer side of the city, though not all wrong, it still has its own charm and just as much history as the European side.
The Asian side of the city, also known as the Anatolian side, is a little less business orientated and more relaxed with much of its activity centred around the waterfront and the busy town centre of Kadikoy. The residential areas are more traditional than its counterpart and there are fewer hotels and some say there are less places of interest to visit, though to be fair this is not true.
Like the European side, there are plenty of busy shopping areas spread over the different districts like Kadikoy, Uskudar, Pendik etc. Kadikoy, which is often referred to as the Taksim of the Asian side is the main main hub of the area and has become popular with ex-pats who prefer this side of the city, with excellent connections to the European side by the bridges crossing the Bosphorus, the underground tunnel and of course the many ferry services.
Real Estate in Istanbul Asian
Accommodation for sale in Istanbul Asian is just as diverse at the European side, as this side of the city is also seeing areas of regeneration, you can find new modern Istanbul Asian property for sale in excellent complexes with great facilities, and you can also find property in Istanbul Asian that are located in prestigious waterfront locations or countryside locations.
Prices for accommodation in Istanbul Asian, Turkey, range from bargain properties, to luxury private villas with premium price tags. If you are looking to buy property in Istanbul Asian, Turkey a 1 Bedroom sea view apartment can be found for as little as £56,000 and for private villas with prestigious address' prices can easily stretch into the £m's.
Turkey Homes will guide you to your ideal real estate in Istanbul Asian, taking into consideration your lifestyle requirements and budget.

A 45-year-old man who "blurred the line between reality and make believe" and adopted the character of magical elf Buho from Shadowrun to rob a Belfast lingerie store at knifepoint, has been brought down to Earth with a two-year jail sentence, The Times reports.
Robert Boyd, of Carrickfergus, Co Antrim, told Belfast Crown Court at a hearing in March he'd been involved in the fantasy role-playing computer game when he slipped into a blond Harpo Marx wig, glasses, and beanie hat, "threatened a female shop assistant and made off with bras, knickers, suspender belts, and stockings worth £250".
This explanantion failed to impress the jury, who found the former lab assistant at Queen's University guilty by a wholly realistic 10-2 majority.
Boyd's defence lawyer pleaded for leniency at a sentencing hearing last Friday, explaining his client was now a "figure of ridicule whose life was in tatters". Judge Patrick Lynch insisted on a prison sentence, and told the father of one: "Whatever I do to you today, you will have to live with the consequences of your actions for the rest of your life." ®

Some wonderful news: there's going to be a bhikkhuni ordination in Perth this Thursday! Myself and Ayya Sudhamma will be going from Santi to participate. This will be the first bhikkhuni ordination at Dhammasara – the previous bhikkhuni ordination was held at Bodhinyana.
It's all been organized very swiftly, so all we have is the brief announcement from Dhammasara.
The Dhammasara Nuns' Monastery is delighted to announce that the "First Bhikkhuni Ordination" will take place at Dhammasara on Thursday, 1st March 2012 in the morning at 8am, before dana.
Candidates : Samaneri Pasada from Santi Forest Monastery, NSW and Samaneri Nissara from Nirodharam Meditation Centre, Thailand.
Both presently staying at Dhammasara Nuns' Monastery.
This is coming about at short notice due to a brief visit of our Pavatini (Preceptor), Venerable Tathaaloka Bhikkhuni Theri, from USA.
Followed by the dana at Dhammasara.
In the late afternoon, the two one sided Bhikkhunis will present themselves to Bhikkhu Sangha at Bodhinyana Monks Monastery, Serpentine for a brief Sangha Kamma (Ceremony) to confirm the ordination (the afternoon time yet to be determined).
Both events are open to our supporters and friends.
With Metta,
Ven. Nirodha & Ven. Hasapanna

Captain Becker, what makes a good greeting on board?
Captain Becker, do flight captains follow a particular script when greeting passengers on board?
There is no such thing as a standard announcement. If there were, passengers would soon get the feeling that the captain was just rattling off a text, when in fact his or her announcement should have an individual touch and be a personal greeting to all those on board. It should also, of course, inform passengers whether or not the plane will leave on time.
What makes a good announcement?
Everyone has to find their own style without slipping into the role of entertainer. If the captain is saying a few words before a long flight to a holiday destination, he or she should include particu-lars about the flight. If it's an early-morning shuttle full of people traveling from Frankfurt to Munich on business, passengers will only be interested in a brief mention that their plane will land according to schedule.
What else is important?
A good announcement is one to which people pay attention. Am I using the right tone of voice? Am I speaking slowly enough? Have I included everything that's important? You can tell right away if someone is just going through the motions. Some captains try to insert a little humor into their announcement, but although this is laudable, it doesn't go over well with everyone. You have to acquire a feeling for what's appropriate and what will appeal to the majority of passengers on board.
And what is absolutely crucial?
The announcement must be professional and come across convincingly. It should give passengers the certainty that those guys up there in the cockpit know exactly what they're doing.

Scotty McCreery Gets His Fried Chicken Fix in 2013 Bojangles Commercials
When Scotty McCreery is out on the road, he turns to the next best thing he can find to home cooking. Judging by the commercials McCreery has recorded for Bojangles this year, he finds himself waiting at the Bojangles drive-through window quite a bit.
McCreery appears in two new commercials for the southern-themed fast food joint in 2013. In one, the 'Water Tower Town' hitmaker is being interviewed on his tour bus.
"When I'm on the road, I love it. I love getting out there and playing for fans. But I do miss my family and I miss my friends. I miss the food," he says.
Just when you think the young star is about to wax poetic about his mom's home cooking, he turns the conversation to Bojangles.
"[I miss} Bojangles ... that perfectly-seasoned chicken and made-from-scratch biscuits and legendary sweet tea" he adds. "It's tough being away from that."
Just then, McCreery's tour bus drives past 'his' childhood home, and he stops at Bojangles for fried chicken -- before going home to see his family.
The other 2013 ad spot takes place in a recording studio after a long day of laying down tracks. Someone brings in a bag from Bojangles and McCreery tears into not one but two meals. Since the fast food joint serves breakfast all day, the country singer eats a breakfast meal and a lunch meal.
"I call it brunch," he jokes.
Judging by the 19-year-old singer's jam-packed tour schedule, this is going to be the summer of Bojangles. McCreery is burning up the highway almost every weekend until November on his 2013 Weekend Road Trip Tour.

Rather than debating gun control, we should be debating ways to diminish violent crime.
Words matter, President Obama once said. He's right. How we choose words gives a very good insight into our feelings upon the subject under discussion.
In the current debate regarding the Second Amendment, conservatives have made the mistake of ceding oratorical control to the Left. How? By accepting the phrase "gun control" as the operative phrase to describe the debate.
Calling the debate "gun control" presupposes that there will be control — i.e., that government control over guns is the end, rather than the means. The only question remaining in such a debate is how much control the government will ultimately exert over citizens' guns.
Most people, though, if they thought about it, would say that what they're really aiming for is "violence minimization." If one properly identifies minimizing violence as the goal, the debate changes dramatically. It forces those participating in the debate to ask, not "how many guns can we take away or how many magazines can we limit?" but, instead, "what approach results in the fewest number of gun deaths or overall violence?".
When it comes to overall violence, data from the world over easily answers that question. Those Countries that have extremely strict gun bans also have extremely high violence rates — and those rates have often climbed in direct proportion to the increased gun bans. England's experience is the most stunning example. From the time it imposed limitations on guns so stringent that almost all law-abiding citizens are now disarmed, England has seen its violent crime rate soar, to the point where the number of violent crimes per capita is the highest in the First World:
In the U.K., gun ownership is virtually banned. Even the police force in the U.K. is, for the most part, unarmed. Raw figures show that the UK has a lower homicide rate than the U.S., 1.2 per 100,000 of population in the U.K. versus 4.8 in the U.S. But when it comes to violent crime overall, the UK is a much greater hotbed than the U.S., with 2,034 violent criminal incidents in the U.K. per 100,000 of population versus 486 in the U.S.
Incidentally, when it comes to discussing murders in the United States versus those in England, don't make the mistake of getting caught up in the fact that England has a lower homicide rate than we do. It has always had a lower murder rate than America, which is not a surprise given that, until recently, it was a small, homogeneous nation, as compared to the brawling, sprawling frontier that is America. In addition, it's a sad fact — one that few have the courage to address — that America's high gun crime numbers are rooted almost entirely in America's black community. If one subtracts that subset of America from the equation, our gun homicide rates are comparable to other majority Caucasian nations. Comparing American and British murder rates is to compare apples to oranges.
However, comparing British to British murder rates over the period of the gun ban is edifying, since those rates have increased consistently for the first thirteen years after the 1996 gun ban. They have tapered off again in the last three years, which suggests that the decrease in homicides is unrelated to the 1996 gun ban and may, instead, have more to do with the recession's effects on England.
England's violent crime statistics, while shocking, are not unique. Putting aside anarchic areas (in the Middle East and Africa, for example), there's a consistent correlation between government interference in private gun ownership and higher violence rates. Take Australia, for example, a country that the New York Times touts as the example the U.S. should follow when it comes to government gun bans:
The homicide rate in Australia, low in 1996 at 1.9, increased in the three years after their gun ban before dropping to 1.3 in 2007. Regardless, overall, violent crime in Australia has exploded since gun control was imposed, with the sum of violent crime, including sexual assaults, robberies and assaults, increasing about 20% in just 12 years.
Russia and Mexico, two countries that have stringent laws controlling citizen access to guns, are two other countries frequently cited by Second Amendment supporters as proof that government restrictions on guns don't work.
We really needn't look so far afield, though, to determine whether people are safest when the government takes guns or when it allows law abiding citizens to hang onto their guns (including guns with high capacity magazines). Reason.com has assembled a boatload of data showing that in America, as private gun ownership soared over the past 20 years, public violence — including violence in schools — decreased:
1. Violent crime – including violent crime using guns – has dropped massively over the past 20 years.
The violent crime rate – which includes murder, rape, and beatings – is half of what it was in the early 1990s. And the violent crime rate involving the use of weapons has also declined at a similar pace.
2. Mass shootings have not increased in recent years.
Despite terrifying events like Sandy Hook or last summer's theater shooting in Aurora, Colorado, mass shootings are not becoming more frequent. "There is no pattern, there is no increase," says criminologist James Allen Fox of Northeastern University, who studies the issue. Other data shows that mass killings peaked in 1929.
5. "Assault Weapons Bans" Are Generally Ineffective.
While many people are calling for reinstating the federal ban on assault weapons – an arbitrary category of guns that has no clear definition – research shows it would have no effect on crime and violence. "Should it be renewed," concludes a definitive study, "the ban's effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement."
Correlation is not causation, of course, but it's very hard to avoid looking at the above data (fewer guns and more crime versus more guns and less crime) without coming to the conclusion that, in a nominally Judeo-Christian society with a rule of law, guns add to, rather than subtract from, public safety.
So we're back at the beginning. Do we want to debate gun control, which is the current nomenclature of choice, or do we want to debate lessening violence overall? The former discussion presupposes government restrictions on gun ownership, with the only question being how much restriction the government can and should impose. The latter discussion, however, forces people to confront the fact that the best way to lessen violence would be to arm more law-abiding citizens, rather than to leave guns as the exclusive preserve of the criminal and the insane.

If there was a year when I would not have a group of friends over for dinner on election night it would be this one. The battle lines have been drawn and, from what I hear, there might be a few suicides if one's favorite candidate doesn't get elected this time. If you drive around my neighborhood there are a few discreet signs up, all for the same candidate. In North Georgia, there should be no doubt which one I'm talking about . The rest of the neighbors don't dare display their preference for fear their houses might be set on fire. Whether this is true or not I don't know, but I'm not curious to find out!
In years past I would invite a few friends, both Democrats and Republicans, for dinner to watch the results. Nothing fancy, just casual fare, lots of ribbing and betting and a fun evening for all, no matter who won. Dinner was served on trays in front of the television set in the library. I kept it simple, American, and very casual. Guests helped themselves to drinks from the bar and dinner was served buffet style in the dining room. Heavy hors d'oeuvre, one main course and dessert. The main idea was to spend a fun evening together with good friends and comforting food. The following morning everyone would still be on speaking terms with each other and with their neighbors. Not this time.
I am sharing below a typical menu from past elections dinners that I won't be cooking this year. I might just watch a movie, go to bed early and hear the results in the morning. ( Sure...I will probably be up all night waiting until the last vote is in )
As to the dinner table, my choice would be a blue and white china pattern laid buffet style, white napkins and a solid red centerpiece of carnations and roses, such as the one above. Otherwise, "white china casual" is your best bet. Forget the flags!

Me and my darling "Ellie" showing in the Adult Hunters in Upperville – 2007
Some of us call her Melissa, others, "MH," and a select few affectionately refer to her as "Hammie." She's Melissa Hamlet, our VP of Merchandising. She oversees the fabulous team of riders and SmartPakers that works hard every day to source, select and even design the latest and greatest gear. We've kept her all to ourselves the last nine years, and we think it's about time you all got to know her a little better. Like any good story, let's start at the beginning…
My first horse show at 8 years old on my first pony "Cinder", a Connemara. Love the velvet collar and rust jods! – 1979
I grew up in Virginia where I showed a little in the Hunters, occasionally fox hunted and enjoyed riding in big open spaces. I credit my great uncle Webster with giving me the horse bug. He had a farm on top of a mountain in Virginia where he raised cows, had apple orchards and, of course, had horses. My earliest memories of interacting with horses were on that mountain where Webster would take me out into the fields to pet them.
My first blue ribbon, which also happened to be at my first horse show in Loudoun County, VA. Cinder, not looking so impressed. – 1979
I went to college at St. Andrews in Laurinburg, NC where I majored in Business, minored in Equine Studies and rode on the IHSA Team. I moved up North to Massachusetts after graduating from college and found myself trying to figure out how to pay for riding when my parents weren't footing the bill anymore. There was never a time when I didn't have horses in my life…it is quite simply a part of who I am so I was willing to do anything it took to continue riding. I worked 3 jobs for many years so that I could stay in the saddle. I did take a few years off from riding in my mid-twenties. There just wasn't enough time to go to graduate school, work and give riding the level of commitment that it deserved. After I finished my MBA, I ran back to the barn and haven't left (well, except for the 9 months that I was pregnant).
High School Graduation, clearly more excited about the ribbons I won that year than the cap and gown! – 1989
I have had some really amazing equine partners over the years. Each and every one of them has taught me something about who I am as a rider and a person. Horses have always kept me grounded and given me peace. I like to say there is nothing that relieves the stress of the day like burying my nose in a horse's neck and taking a deep breath. 🙂 I'm currently riding at Grazing Fields Farm with Kathy Fletcher and Laurel Tinney. This year I'll be showing in the Adult Hunters and Adult Equitation on a horse that I'm leasing named Always Formal (Gateway).
Me and "Irish" showing in Aiken, SC while I was attending college at St. Andrews University – 1992
I've been working at SmartPak now for 9 years. When I started working here we had supplements, fly spray, brushes, Baker blankets and a few Horseware blankets. The warehouse was just moving from the room that was my office into real warehouse space. My then two new kittens used to come to work with me and sleep in the inbox on my desk.
"Told You So" a wonderful little quarter horse owned by Eileen McNamara showing with me at MHJ Finals in Halifax, MA – 2002
To say things have changed a little in the past nine years is quite the understatement! Our warehouse has grown a little…it is now about three acres of space filled from floor to ceiling with the thousands of products that we now offer. My cats have long since stopped coming into the office because they got too big and stinky, which is probably a good thing since there are about 40 dogs in the office now on any given day. The Merchandising Team has grown from one (me) to 12. These past nine years have quite possibly been the wildest ride of my life to date!
Me and "Bronson" at the MHJ Finals – 2010
At this point, you may be wondering what exactly the Merchandising Team does. The short story is that we're the ones who find and develop all of the wonderful products that you see within the pages of our catalogs and on our website. The longer version is this: I have a team of very talented riders who also happen to be very talented Buyers. We literally travel around the world to find and develop things we think are worthy of being in your barns, on your bodies and on your horses. More importantly, we listen. We listen to our customers, we listen to our sponsored riders, and we listen to our employees (who are also our customers). We hear from all of these groups of folks about things that they like about products they're using, things they hate about products they're using and things that they wish they had, but have never been able to find. We take all of that listening and work with manufacturers around the globe to fill our warehouse with the things you need to ride and enjoy your horses. We always want to hear from you so please call or e-mail us anytime. About anything. Really. If it is important enough for you to think we might want to hear about it, then we definitely do!
Me and Wiltord D at New England Finals – 2011
Check back in to our blog for updates from our Merchandising Team members on things we're working on, things we're excited about, what we did over the weekend and what is going on around the office. We promise you won't be disappointed.
Here is to hoping that your next ride is your best yet!!

Kishka Bob
Adopted: December 2, 2002
Died: March 11, 2010
To say that I'm not prepared to write this post is the understatement of the century. Oh, Kishka. My sweet girl. Kishy. How on earth do I say goodbye to you?
Your story, like all of my pet stories, began at the Humane Society. It was December 2002 and my ex-husband and I were looking for a third dog to round out our furry family. I wanted to make it a German Shepherd trio so I was focused on adopting a Shepherd. I found one, but my ex was insistent on meeting you. He thought you were cool looking and eventually he talked me into meeting you before we met the Shepherd. I'm eternally grateful for that.
You came into the meeting room and promptly flipped over for a belly rub. In that instant, I fell in love.
When my marriage ended the three of you stayed with me. I fought for you guys and it was more than worth it.
I can't talk about you without talking about them. I called you guys The Three Stooges and the three of you were inseparable.
When Max and Sam would wrestle, you would stand on the sidelines wooing. (I liked to think that you were calling commentary on the wrestling match.)
You were the low dog on the totem pole when they were alive and when Samantha died it was interesting to watch you take on the role of top dog. It didn't take long. You loved to boss Sadie around. She rarely made a move without consulting you first.
As much as you loved to boss her around, you and Sadie were the best of friends. One of my great joys was watching you guys together.
The two of you loved exploring together…
…walking together…
…getting into mischief together…
…and just hanging out together.
You were always such an agile and active dog. In your younger years you never walked around the couch. You jumped over it.
You were a fast runner.
You used to catch rabbits. There was a period of time when I would have to do a mouth check before you came in the house. (This was due to you bringing a dead rabbit in the house and hiding it in the couch cushions.)
You loved to dig. Often on our walks, we would pause for several minutes at a time while you went after something.
Sometimes you caught a field mouse while digging. I pretended to be grossed out but I was proud of you: my great hunter.
You liked to chase your tail. Often we'd be walking along and you'd start running in circles trying to catch that darn tail. When you did catch it, you'd yelp and usually end up with a clump of fur in your mouth.
You loved to play fetch. If I was willing, you could spend an entire afternoon chasing a ball.
The only time you ever laid on your back was after a game of fetch. You loved to lie on your back in the sun with a tennis ball in your mouth.
When we started going to the dog park you discovered a new love: squirrel hunting. Your attention span with squirrels was amazing. You would sit perfectly still and wait for one to come down from a tree.
You never caught one, but that didn't stop you from trying again and again.
You didn't eat like most dogs. You dined. You stretched out with the food bowl between your front legs and slowly, carefully ate your food. It would sometimes take you 30 minutes to eat a meal.
I loved your ears. Yes, that's weird, but I loved how one tipped over and one stood straight up. Your ears were also very, very soft.
I also loved the touch of white on the tip of your tail.
You were a sweet and gentle soul.
You were never an overly snuggly dog, but you were affectionate. Sometimes when we were driving down the road you would sit behind me and put your head on my shoulder.
Most days when I arrived home from work you were waiting for me.
When I was sick you tried to comfort me.
I think my favorite thing about you was your wooing. I loved it. You wooed all the time and it made me laugh every single time.
I'm not sure how I'm going to live in a world without wooing.
Most of all, I'm not sure how I'm going to live in a world without you.

I came to the Irish people to preach the Gospel and endure the taunts of unbelievers, putting up with reproaches about my earthly pilgrimage, suffering many persecutions, even bondage, and losing my birthright of freedom for the benefit of others. If I am worthy, I am ready also to give up my life, without hesitation and most willingly, for Christ's name.
From the Confession of St. Patrick
Who is St. Patrick?
Saint Patrick was born Maewyn Succat at the end of the 4th century in Scotland, and would later take the name Patrick. At the age of 16, he was kidnapped and taken to Ireland as a slave. He was sold to a chieftain in Dalriada, a territory in what is now the county of Antrim in Ireland, where he was put to work tending his master's flocks. Alone in the hills of Ireland, Patrick spent much of his time in prayer, growing deeper in Faith, as related in his Confessio:
"The love of God and His fear increased in me more and more, and the Faith grew in me, and the spirit was roused, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers, and in the night nearly the same, so that whilst in the woods and on the mountain, even before the dawn, I was roused to prayer and felt no hurt from it, whether there was snow or ice or rain; nor was there any slothfulness in me, such as I see now, because the spirit was then fervent within me."
Though he could not know it at the time, these years of service prepared Patrick for his future ministerial work. He learned to speak the language of Ireland, which would later help him to spread the Word of God to the inhabitants. As a slave, Patrick's master Milchu was a druidical high priest and this brought Patrick knowledge of the false religion from which he would later liberate the Irish.
After six years, Patrick had a dream in which he was commanded to go to England; he escaped and returned to the British mainland. Once in England, Patrick studied in several monasteries, studying in Europe as well, and eventually became a priest and then a bishop. He was instructed by Pope Celestine to travel and evangelize throughout England and Ireland. St. Odran was his chariot driver and St. Jarlath one of his spiritual students.
Patrick worked the next 33 years, spreading the Gospel and teaching the Faith and converted much of Ireland. In time, due to St. Patrick following God's will, Ireland became known as the Land of the Saints, and during the early middle ages its monasteries were considered the great repositories of learning in Europe. The popular legend of St. Patrick driving the snakes out of Ireland was a later development. This may have derived from the fact that the serpent was a symbol of Druidism, the Celtic religion from which Patrick converted the Irish.

HAMILTON, Ohio (AP) -- A southwest Ohio judge plans to hear arguments in a lawsuit challenging a village's use of speeding cameras.
The Butler County court hearing scheduled Tuesday on New Miami's cameras is the latest legal skirmish in the battle around Ohio over automated speeding and red-light enforcement.
The lawsuit against New Miami was filed last year in the aftermath of a ruling in neighboring Hamilton County ordering a halt to speeding cameras in the Cincinnati area village of Elmwood Place. Motorists say their due process rights are being violated in a system they say bypasses courts and doesn't give them much chance to contest camera-produced tickets.
Village attorneys say Judge Michael Sage should reject the claims, or wait until the Ohio Supreme Court rules on a pending case about Toledo's traffic cameras.

Croatia 1 : 3 Mexico - Marquez leads Mexico to victoryMonday, June 23, 2014 by PA
Mexico captain Rafael Marquez once again led by example to help carry his side into the last 16 with a 3-1 victory over Croatia which ended their hopes of qualifying from Group A.
The 35-year-old, captaining his country at a record fourth World Cup, superbly marshalled the tournament's meanest defence against a team who had to win to go through and then popped up with the breakthrough goal.
Marquez's powerful 72nd-minute header forced Croatia to push even harder and that played straight into Mexico's hands as they added a further two in the next 10 minutes to set up a knockout tie against free-scoring Holland.
Andres Guadardo expertly converted a counter-attack move down the right before substitute Javier Hernandez put his frustrating season at Manchester United behind him by nodding in from close range.
Perisic's well-taken consolation three minutes from time came too late to save Croatia from a World Cup exit, which came slightly earlier for Ante Rebic who was sent off for a high lunge at Carlos Pena.
In a particularly tetchy first half the European side dominated play but created little and that was never going to be enough to threaten a defence with the indomitable Marquez at its heart and in Guillermo Ochoa had the only goalkeeper not to concede a goal in the first two matches.
Mexico midfielder Hector Herrera had the best chance of the half, smashing a 25-yard left-foot effort against the angle of crossbar and post - which was closer than Ivan Perisic had come with his shot from distance.
The wily Marquez, a veteran of 123 internationals, knew exactly what he was doing when he brought down Perisic yards from his own penalty area after a Mexico corner had broken down but the booking was worth it as Darijo Srna smashed over the free-kick.
While the first half was certainly no Mexican stand-off the North Americans began to sense Croatia were weakening after the interval and they could have had a penalty when Guadardo's shot hit Srna's arm but were awarded only a corner - from which Vedran Corluka headed off the line.
As the match entered its last 18 minutes Croatia knew they had to raise the stakes as a draw was enough for their opponents to go through but it backfired when Marquez headed in Herrera's corner at the far post.
Guardardo then clinically dispatched first time Oribe Peralta's cross and when Hector Moreno cleared from almost off the line after Ochoa had been beaten by Rebic's shot at the end of a weaving run it was almost inevitable Mexico added a third through Hernandez's far-post header at a corner.
Frustration finally boiled over with a minute to go when Rebic displayed no remorse following through on Pena and even less when shown a straight red card.
