Thank Our Corporate Sponsors! | Advertise With Us!
A Marine Mom sent a dollar to our office in contribution to our Care Package Dollar Campaign, which collects funds necessary to ship care packages overseas. She included a personal letter with her dollar, and in the letter was a touching story behind the dollar she generously donated:
"I was walking to my office from the parking lot this morning and saw a $1 bill on the ground. I picked it up and asked around if it belonged to anyone. Nobody claimed it so I put it in my purse and settled in to begin my morning.
Checking email a couple hours later I saw today's edition of the MarineParents.com newsletter requesting a dollar to help with postage for the Care Packet Project™. I always wished I was in a position to help with this wonderful campaign, but being a single parent my funds are very limited, which is disheartening at times, as I'm sure you can imagine.
Then I remembered the dollar I found on my way in and there you go! God provided a way for me to be able to donate when most times sending in even a one dollar bill can be so difficult. I am hoping to find a local group who participates in a similar campaign that I can volunteer with.
My Marine will be deploying to Afghanistan in February or March of 2011 so my younger son and I would like to be able to help in some small way to make it easier for these brave souls so far away from home.
God provided my enclosed donation and if there is a way for me to help with this project in some way I know the path will open up before me."
OK Lord...you don't hear from me much, although I'm sure you've got an eye on me daily, wondering "what is that girl up to now and when is she going to come on in for a talk"... I've read prayers from other parents and I wanted to try and offer a prayer too. I just want to ask you to watch over all our fine young men and women currently serving in the USMC, where ever they may be, overseas or stateside.
I ask that you place a firm hand on our Marines' shoulders during the day ... during the night and guide their steps always toward a path of well being and out of harms way.
Whisper in their ear, giving word again to the courage and pride they sought at the beginning of their chosen journey as a Marine, courage and pride that was strengthened and challenged by the Marines who proceeded them in duty and battle. Whisper a second time in their ear and whisper a little louder "Semper Fi."
Grasp their hand at close of day, as they stand weary, in need of rest, and let them remember the mother..the father ... the wife ... the husband ... the child who has held their hand while home sharing the simple pleasure of family love and waits to hold their hand again. Let them realize that though the miles apart are actual, the distance of heart between themselves and family and friends has never been so close as it is while they are away from home.
.... and as they face situation, place and circumstance that might challenge the very core of their humanity, could you please place in the sole of their boots an arch built upon your wisdom and mercy ... I think if they have your arch they will not bend or stoop.
Give them a joke or two a day, a slap upon the back, a friend that makes them smile and a laugh that makes them cry.
Let our care packages, emails, IMs, twitters, letters ... our silent prayers from home reach them and may they never doubt our continued support and appreciation.
Dear Lord, my son will soon be deployed and I am frightened. I know that in all our Armed Forces, many have gone before my son and many will go after my son to battle grounds far from home and I know that each is your child, and by each, you have stood and will stand during their time of service. I thank you for this. There are others much more grounded in faith than I have ever been ... and well ... I'll ask this for me ... for others like me who keep wondering off the path ... I'm sure I'm not the only one standing off to the sidelines much of the time ... help us to inhale a deep and sustaining breath that we can take you in and feel your power and love.
Thank you for blessing our daughters and sons who risk their lives to hold safe our freedoms.
... and thanks for guiding me toward Recruit Parents and Marine Parents

Miles to go...before they sleep!
They are alert to any danger
that might come their way.
They must look to the left,
they must look to the right.
Search this house, check that road.
They have such a long journey.
Miles to go...before they sleep.
They are so far from home.
They are walking roads
where other military has gone.
Helping to make a country free,
helping to keep another one that way.
Miles to go...before they sleep.
They eat their MREs
and think of home cooked meals,
when they close their eyes
for just a moment they think
of the loved ones they miss
Can't stop for too long
Miles to go...before they sleep.
They watch their brother's backs
There isn't anything they won't do
to see each other safe.
They are now another kind of family
Walking side by side
No one will be left behind
Miles to go...before they sleep.
But oh, when they finally lay down
and sleep, I wonder-
do they dream of home?

Angel Whispers
You will see me in the dawn
of a new day, as the sun comes
up over the land
You will hear me in the soft,
gentle summer rain.
I am with you always,
just listen to Angel Whispers.
You will find me beside a rolling
stream as it makes it way
through the woods.
When you awake in the
morning, know that I am there
to help you start your day.
Just listen to Angel Whispers.
I will be in the wind
as it gently brushes
through your hair.
As you go through your
day and you feel a chill,
know that I am with you.
Just listen to Angel Whispers.
And when you go to bed
at night, know that I am
with you-loving you
and missing you too!
Just listen to Angel Whispers.

Stunned and shocked at your decision
Know you have thought and weighed your options
Think you are doing this to defend
A country under attack is what you hope to mend.
Remember when you were just a tot
Bending straws so you could fire
Now those straws are no longer a need
Assault rifles and grenade launchers are your speed.
Rough and tumble games with friends
Sliding down the snow packed sidewalks and hills
Replaced this adventure now with empty buildings and sand
Always with your new brothers close at hand.
Hard for me to comprehend
When my little boy became such a fine man
Still I wait, worry, and pray
'Till my Marine is home to stay.

He steps onto the bootprints embedded in the sand
Bootprints of another who has walked that dusty land.
It is his turn to "cycle in" his journey's just begun
It's time to relieve his brother and the job that he has done.
The battle will continue on, the long months lie ahead
It's time to send his brother home, to stand his place instead.
In silence they exchange a glance, each passes by the other
Unspoken words of gratitude, Semper Fi, OohRah my brother.
Bootprints of another kind, belonging to their "Mothers"
As one steps off, the other on, they wonder about each other.
They've shared the same emotions, just both at different times
It is her son that's coming home, the one deployed is mine.
And yet I know within my heart, when needed she will step
Back upon those bootprints, and not with one regret!
And so in time I will accept the torch that's passed to me
And carry it with endearing pride for our sons across the sea.
Barb 822
For My Brother
You may now know this,
but you are two to me.
Meant to be just one of these,
You've become much more to me.
You are here to teach me.
Teach me how to teach to be social.
Teach me what educators can't.
You are here to be my hero.
Save me when I need saving.
Stand up for me when I need to be defended.
You are here when tears start falling.
To hug me and say everything will be okay.
To say I'll hurt the person who hurt you.
You are here to support me.
When we triumph together.
To say congratulations when I do well.
And when you're not around,
out serving our country, which you do so well.
I think back on all the times we've had,
in which you've been there for me.
And I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I know when you come home,
we will create an endless bond.
I know that you think about me,
and wonder how I am doing.
All you need to do is think of yourself.
Because I follow in everything you do.
You are everything I want to be,
And everything I already am.
You are my best friend.
And most of all, my big brother.
I love you, Joseph.
I miss you, Joseph.
And can't wait until
you come back home♥

This section is taken from my book, "Blue Star In My Window," pages 167-168. It was written during my son's first deployment to Fallujah, Iraq.
March 13, 2006 9:00 p.m.
He has lived six months of his 21-year-old life in a country not his own.
He has invested much, and he is dedicated to the job the 2/6 has done.
He has signed over four years of his life to the United States Marine Corps.
He has voluntarily given up the familiarity of Ohio, his family, and his friends.
He now embraces another culture and has a new family--the Corps. His letters indicate a depth he didn't have before.
He is thoughtful in his writing and reaches out to "Ma" and "Pops," but his thoughts and ideas are his own now--no longer spoon fed.
He has questions I never dreamed of asking.
He's seen sights I can't imagine.
He's pushed himself in ways I've never stretched to reach.
I'm going to meet and greet a son in a little over a month -- in many ways a son whom I don't know and have never met before.
But when I hug him, I'll know my son.
A war can't wipe that away.

I am the Mother of a Marine, this is my daily routine
Mentally calculating the time difference half way around the world
Accepting that my son is now MY protector
Reaching across the ocean with my love, hoping my son feels the extra boost
In the dead of night, waking up and saying a prayer for his safety and peace of mind.
Never letting my son see the tears in my eyes or hear the catch in my voice whenever he leaves home or ends a phone call
Enduring those moments when I am not as strong as I think I should be
Making it through each day by the grace of God
Opting to work extra hours or volunteer more than I used to trying to keep my mind occupied
Trying to smile even when I haven't heard from my son for days or weeks on end
Holding onto the Marine Corps motto of "Semper Fi", hoping I can keep the faith
Every second of every minute of every hour of every day, praying God is with my son and will bring him home to me safely
Rejoicing and shouting so all my coworkers know it is my son who is on the telephone.

My Son
Full of fear,
and full of pride,
I cried myself
to sleep that night.
July 29, 2008
my precious Son,
was to be
a rack mate.
He got off the bus,
stood on the prints,
although he was scared
he dared not wince.
This was, after all
Marine boot camp,
where the nights are cold
and the air is damp.
As the DI's holler,
yell and scream,
all he can do
is hold on to his dream.
The dream to be
One of The Few, The Proud,
to enter a world
where not all are allowed.
As the days go by
and turn into weeks,
my Son gets closer
to the goal he seeks.
A United States Marine
that's what he's become,
my pride and joy
this is my Son.
Written by Penny Hoffman
Neenah, WI
Jeremy left for bootcamp a few weeks ago
He saw the wailing tears in my eyes
He left me, my little baby boy
He said "Mom, I love you, goodbye"
He is handsome, he's funny, he's strong
He reminds me so much of me
He is a little bit of mischief, and a lot of love
He has a wonderful personality
He'd give you his shirt off his back
He's a son, a brother and friend
He's unselfish, he's giving, he's loving
He is there for you till the very end
He's always had a big piece of my heart
He's in a hurry to make a new home
He secretly still needs me around
He says he wants to be on his own
He has more courage than a lion
He is stronger than the biggest storm
He's an eagle yearning to fly high
He's been ready to go since he was born
He doesn't know how much I really care
He didn't know I didn't want to let him go
He may not know how much I miss him
He does know that I love him so
He's now fighting for his family
He has wanted this for a long time
He's proud to turn his life around
He'll go farther than anyone can climb
He is no longer my little boy
He is now my grown up fighting machine
He is learning to defend his country
I am the proud mom of a United States Marine
To Jeremy from Mom
August 5, 2008
The Last Few Months
One day my son came to his father and I.
"The Marine Corps is for me.
Research I've done, to recruiters I've talked.
Will you sign for me?"
The internet was surfed and books were read.
Long talks with him, the recruiter I grilled.
Then came the day and the papers were signed -
To boot camp my son would go.
His last day of high school in December was done.
From January to April Parris Island he did call home.
In May came the bus to Camp Lejune -
No high school grad stage was crossed.
The last few months - what a full life he's led!
From high school teen to US Marine - only five months did it take.
My pride and my love know no bounds.
To my son I say Semper Fi!

Rise of the Planet of the Apes proved to be a sizable sleeper hit for Fox last summer. In an interview at CinemaCon, Fox CEO Tom Rothman told Steve that the studio was "pushing forward aggressively" on a sequel, in anticipation of a possible summer 2014 release date. Director Rupert Wyatt and star (no offense to James Franco) Andy Serkis were both already set to return; today comes news that Contagion and The Bourne Ultimatum scribe Scott. Z. Burns will write the script.
The first film saw a scientist (James Franco) experimenting on apes in search of a cure for Alzheimer's disease. The result was super-intelligent chimp Caesar (Serkis), who, disgusted by the mistreatment he and his kind endure at the hands of man, leads an uprising. The sequel will, predictably, see Caesar and co. making use of their hard-won freedom to gain dominion over the planet (making it a sort of, "Planet of the Monkeys," if you will). Hit the jump for more.
Per Heat Vision, Burns will inherit a draft from original Rise scribes Amanda Silver and Rick Jaffa. Rise of the Planet of the Apes didn't seem all that promising when it was first announced. The last memory we had of the Apes franchise was…whatever the hell Tim Burton did with it in 2001. Moreover, I'm normally not that fond of CGI/live-action blends. However, Wyatt, the crew at Weta Digital, and a stunning performance from Andy Serkis combined to create a visually enthralling and unexpectedly poignant popcorn flick. Can't wait for the next entry.
Here's what director Wyatt had to say a while back about where the franchise might be headed:
"You could start this story again eight years from where we left off, the next generation of apes, those that have come from our protagonists, perhaps going in to a conflict with humans and showing real fear, in the same way as going into war for young soldiers in this day and age, telling their story. Or how apes are taking over cities, and being moved into human environments and having to interact with them and deal with things that are part of our culture and understand and evolve through them. Spies that are in the employ of the apes, working against humans and humans maybe existing underground, because that's a way they can avoid the virus, coming up above ground wearing gas masks, and maybe that's what dehumanises them."

- "He resembled in face and form rather his kindred of the Noldor, but in mood and mind he was the son of his father. His words were few save in matters that touched him near, and then his voice had a power to move those that heard him and to overthrow those that withstood him."
- ― Quenta Silmarillion, Of Maeglin
Maeglin was an Elf, the son of Eöl the Dark Elf and Aredhel daughter of Fingolfin. He lived in the First Age of Middle-earth and was a lord of Gondolin, chief of the House of the Mole.
[edit] History
[edit] Early History
Aredhel had left Gondolin to wander through Beleriand, and in the woods of Nan Elmoth she met Eöl, and stayed with him, eventually giving birth to Maeglin. The child grew up hearing tales of Gondolin, the Hidden City and his uncle, Turgon, most importantly that he had no heir to the throne, thus the idea of leaving the dark places of Nan Elmoth was born in his mind. Years later Aredhel left Eöl and she took her son (who stole his father's sword, Anguirel) with her, both of them returning to Gondolin. Eöl had followed her. In judgment before Turgon he attempted to kill Maeglin with a poisoned dart when told he could not leave Gondolin, but hit Aredhel instead when she sprang before the dart. She died, and Eöl was cast down to his death from the city walls, under Maeglin's eyes, his father saying he would die the same death.
He was now an orphan, but Turgon held him in honor, and Maeglin both learned and taught much. He became an elven lord held in high esteem, even leading his own House of the Mole. He found rich lodes of metals in the Echoriath surrounding the city, and forged weapons of steel stronger than had been seen before. His mine in the Echoriath was named Anghabar, Iron-Mine. In the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, "Battle of Unnumbered Tears", Maeglin refused to remain behind as regent, and went forth to battle with Turgon proving valiant at need, though he was wise in council as well. The seventh and final gate of Gondolin, the Gate of Steel, was Maeglin's creation.
Even though he was one of the mighty of Gondolin, he most desired Turgon's daughter Idril who was his first cousin. But there was no hope for him, as the "Eldar wedded not with kin so near". Moreover, Idril perceived an evil coming from him and for as long as Gondolin existed, she avoided him. Thus the love inside Maeglin's heart turned to darkness and though he had neither her nor the kingship of Gondolin, he endured it in silence, waiting for an opportunity to seize them both.
[edit] The Fall of Gondolin
When Tuor came, carrying Ulmo's warning of the danger to Gondolin, Maeglin sat on the right hand of Turgon and argued against Tuor. Tuor's marriage with Idril further incensed Maeglin, who rebelled against Turgon and Tuor. Later, seeking after metals, Maeglin defied Turgon's order to stay within the mountains, and was captured by Orcs, possibly thralls of Sauron, and brought to Angband. Morgoth promised both Gondolin and Idril in return for the location of the hidden city, thus luring Maeglin into the greatest treachery done in the Elder Days. He gave him a token that would allegedly keep him safe from the sack.
Maeglin returned to Gondolin saying nothing about his encounter, but many people noticed a change. Most thought it was for the better, though Idril suspected something and began work on Idril's secret way. He managed to turn some of the weaker lords, such as Salgant and the roguish to his side. When the hosts of Morgoth surrounded the city, when Eärendil was seven, Maeglin counseled Turgon against flight, and because of his place in the King's heart he swayed him to his advantage. As the battle over Gondolin took place, Maeglin tried to kill Eärendil and take Idril for himself. But Tuor caught up with him and they fought upon the walls of the city. Maeglin lost and he was thrown down to his death, striking the mountain three times before falling into the flames.
[edit] Etymology
Maeglin means "sharp glance" in Sindarin, a name which he received from his father when he was twelve. It is formed by the union of maeg, which translates as "sharp" or "piercing", "penetrating" and glîn, meaning "gleam", "glint" (of eyes). At birth, Aredhel gave Maeglin the mother-name of Lómion, meaning "Child of Twilight" in Quenya. It comes from lómë, a noun that translates as "dusk", "twilight" and also "night".[1]

Detailed Description of the Institute
The Institute unites scientists with various backgrounds whose aim is to investigate the history of humankind from an interdisciplinary perspective with the help of comparative analyses of genes, cultures, cognitive abilities and social systems of past and present human populations as well as those of primates closely related to human beings.
Led by Daniel Haun the Department of Comparative Cultural Psychology combines approaches from developmental, cross-cultural and comparative psychology, to study uniquely human cultural diversity and the universal cognitive mechanisms that enable and constrain it.
The Department of Human Evolution, led by Jean-Jacques Hublin, primarily studies fossil hominids and aims at reconstructing their biology, behavior and cultural evolution. The department is interdisciplinary with three areas represented: Palaeoanthropologists, who study fossil material with a special emphasize on the use of 3D imaging to assess phylogenetic reconstructions, brain development and analysis of the growth processes. Archaeological scientists, who undertake biochemical analyses of fossils to study dietary adaptations and migrations, as well as dating the ages of sites and fossils. And, Palaeolithic archaeologists who study the cultural adaptation of hominids to their environment. The three groups are involved in the development of international field projects.
Led by Richard McElreath, the Department of Human Behavior, Ecology and Culture investigates the role of culture in human evolution and adaptation. The evolution of fancy social learning in humans accounts for both the nature of human adaptation and the extraordinary scale and variety of human societies. The integration of ethnographic fieldwork with mathematical models and advanced quantitative methods is the department's methodological focus.
Led by Svante Pääbo, the Department of Evolutionary Genetics studies the genetic history of humans, apes and other organisms. The scientists are interested both in the forces that affect the genome directly, such as mutation and recombination, and in the effects of selection and population history.

It's sometime before 5 a.m., still dark and chilly. We are walking slowly in a single line, maybe 45 of us, all dressed identically in baggy, grey pants and long, loose, grey vests. We're circling the perimeter of a courtyard to the sonorous rhythm of a monk chanting. Above us, through the open door, we can catch glimpses of three large, golden Buddha statues in the 400-year-old temple where earlier, starting at 4:20 a.m., we had been chanting and bowing 108 times.
The sky is getting a bit lighter and below us I can make out pine trees, the slope down the base of the mountain and the sea and islands beyond.
It's a beautiful, serene routine that has unfolded this way every morning for more than 1,000 years. Improbably, our motley group of 16 journalists from Russia, Austria, France, the U.S. and Canada, blends in.
This particular temple — called Mihwang Sa — is at a spectacularly scenic southern tip of Korea, a country where Buddhism flourished from the fourth to the 14th century, when Confucianism took over and monks hid in the hills at temples like this one.
Remarkably, Korea's brand of Zen Buddhism, along with more than 3,000 temples, has remained almost perfectly preserved through Mongol invasions, fire, snow, Japanese rule, the Korean War and, now, a culture that's predominantly Christian and relentlessly high-tech.
Perhaps even more remarkably, these temples are now opening their doors and welcoming world travellers.
"For a long time, temples were just for monks praying," says the head monk at Mihwang Sa, called Venerable Geumgang, whose face beams serenity and liveliness. "Since 2002, they have opened up. There are not very many places you can stay that have a 1,700-year-old history."
The temples opened for the most prosaic of reasons: Korea didn't have enough accommodations for the 2002 World Cup.
"At the beginning, some monks were reluctant," acknowledges Jong Woo Lim, a manager of strategic tourism products for the Korea Tourism Organization. "They didn't think temples should be about providing accommodations; they didn't see them as places for tourists."
That first year, 2,558 people stayed at temples, but the numbers of participating temples and visitors dropped after.
"There were problems with infrastructure — a lack of toilets and rooms that were cold and humid," says Lim.
Since then, however, improvements have been as steady as a temple drumbeat: interpreters are available, bathrooms (albeit basic) have been added, rooms are cosy and special theme visits with lessons on everything from making tea to meditation are now offered. And the monks, say Lim, now see temple stays as "good for Buddhism."
The number of temples that offer overnight stays has grown from 33 to 118. The number of overnight visitors has swelled to more than 170,000 a year.
Lots of exercise
We journalists have been invited by the Korea Tourism Organization to spread the word about temple stays. Our visit to Mihwang Sa is to last less than 24 hours and I wonder: is this Buddhism lite? Can you actually take away anything of value from such a short stay?
While the temples offer a variety of programs including three-day, five-day, week-long and month-long retreats, the two-day, one-night stay is the most popular. With the exception of some extra instruction and explanation, our time at the temple follows the same routine that the monks have followed every day for millennia.
Short of childbirth, it's perhaps the most physically demanding 18 hours I've had.
We arrive at the temple about 3 p.m. and are issued our outfits. I look particularly fetching since my baggy pants only go down to about four inches above my clunky white runners and black socks. The good news is that you need to pack almost nothing: a toothbrush and a towel are all you really need.
I feel lighter already.
After we've changed, a monk leads us on a walk up the steep mountain, a theme that will repeat several times over the next hours. If you're not walking, you might be working in the vegetable patch or sweeping the courtyard.
Later, we will learn that all this exercise is designed as part of the practice and is meant to still your mind.
Between the exercise and the steady schedule, I have little time to think about how I feel about any of it. This feels lighter too.
Back at the temple, they teach us how to bow when greeting pretty much anyone wearing grey (bend at the waist and hold your hands together at your chest) and how to bow inside the temple (a five-part routine with standing bows and three on your knees with your forehead on the ground).
Next is dinner and it is a revelation: this is the very essence of slow food. You start with a set of four nested wooden bowls, all tied up in a bow with grey strip of fabric. You set out the bowls in a prescribed pattern. One bowl is filled with water, which you pour from bowl to bowl to clean them.
Rice is delivered in a large pot and you take only as much as you will certainly eat. Everything is organic; everything has been grown, dried, chopped or pickled at the temple.
Before your first bite you raise the bowl to your forehead in thanks and contemplation.
You finish every grain of rice and every other bit of food (all delicious, all vegetarian), but leave one half-moon slice of bright yellow pickled turnip. Now you pour the water from bowl to bowl again, cleaning your spoon and chopsticks and using the piece of turnip to rub any rice residue from the sides of the bowl. You eat the turnip and drink the water. You repack your bowls and tie them up again. No dishwashing required.
The whole process took us more than an hour.
Words to take home
After more chanting and bowing in the temple, walking under the stars and a tea ceremony that's nearly as intricate as the one for eating dinner, we're given a chance to ask Venerable Geumgang questions.
We have many, many questions, from journalistic ones to personal ones.
One of the Russian TV journalists asks if a temple stay can possibly have any lasting impact once you return to your busy life.
Geumgang replies that one of the week-long stays can leave you with the ability to meditate for 30 minutes each day.
She's not satisfied.
"How, when we return home and we've got the cellphone, and emails, and so many demands on us, how can we keep any sense of calm?"
He says, through the interpreter, that you can only have one thought at a time.
It's a simple answer, but, now I'm home, it's one that has stuck with me. When I find myself trying to check my emails while I'm taking a phone call, I sometimes stop myself and think: You can only have one thought at a time. Even if it seems urgent that you do two things at once.
He also says that, when you're worried, your heart and your mind close in. He cups his hands together like he's holding a coconut. But, he says, your heart and your mind can be as big as the world. He spreads his arms.
Sleeping on the floor
Finally, some time after 10 p.m., the monk and our weary interpreter finally say enough, it's time for bed.
Except there is no bed.
You remove your shoes outside the paper-lined sliding doors and sleep dorm-style in empty rooms. I take a quilted blanket from a pile, fold it to approximately my length and width, and lie down, covering myself with another quilt. Five other women are in the room with me, but I'm aware of nothing until the drums and gong sound at 4 a.m.
We line up outside in the dark to wait to use one of two toilets for our dorm, which are in stalls in bare tiled rooms. We brush our teeth and spit into the drain in the floor, splash our faces with cold water from a tap near the floor, then are back in the temple bowing and chanting by 4:20 a.m.
After the pre-dawn walking, Venerable Geumgang gives us simple instructions for how to sit cross-legged on the floor with a straight back and how to breathe deeply. Then we're left to meditate, our eyes open and looking down, for about half an hour.
David Kotrba, 27, a lanky 6-foot-4 lad from Vienna, said afterward it was the hardest half-hour of his stay.
Next we're led in a short yoga session. The twisting and stretching are a huge relief after so much knee-stiffening sitting. The monk instructs us to rub our hands together briskly, then cup our warm hands over our eyes. That's how my yoga instructor in Ottawa ends our classes and I feel a sense of wonderment that the same thing that happens on Kirkwood Avenue is happening in ancient temples on the other side of the world.
Still before breakfast, Venerable Geumgang leads us on another unhurried walk, into one of the rooms to admire the view from the windows, then through the woods where he shows us logs that are set up to grow shiitake mushrooms.
Breakfast is rice porridge, apple slices, kimchi (spicy fermented cabbage that seems to be served with every meal in Korea) and green tea. Then he suggests that we can now climb Dharma Mountain, behind the temple. We look up — way up — at the peak above us and assume he is joking. He isn't joking.
The path takes us up, up, up in a series of switchbacks and is so steep in places you have to pull yourself over rock faces by holding onto a knotted rope. We're panting and sweating. It occurs to me that the Buddhists aren't very worried about liability.
After about 40 minutes, we're at the top and the view — now that I've caught my breath — is breathtaking. We're at the southern tip of mainland Korea; way down below, I see the sparkling turquoise sea dotted with islands. It's what I imagine Shangri-La should look like.
Popular with Canadian students
Before 10 a.m., we're back down at the temple, ready to return to the modern world. Few are eager to leave. As we head onto the highway that will take us back to Seoul, I ponder our experience. Can you gain anything, in any lasting way, from a short stay at a temple?
Legions of Canadian university students go to Korea each year to teach English and many try a temple stay. Kyle Hubbard, 24, of Newmarket, Ont., went to a temple for a weekend program when he was living and teaching in Busan, Korea, last year.
"I think it did change the way I think about things," he says. "I know for the first few weeks after, I was more conscious of food and meals. I think about the simplicity of their lives. Sometimes when I find myself getting caught up with petty stuff, I think 'what would the monks do?' "
Tamara Dolan, 24 and from Ottawa, says going on a temple stay was a chance to learn about Buddhist culture from experience rather than just observation.
"Spending the night at the temple, dressing in their clothes and eating only the food provided me gave me deeper insight into the Buddhist lifestyle that simply visiting the temple would not have allowed for."
Not for everyone
There was one woman in our group for whom the experience was definitely difficult. She took one look at the open-concept shower and said she could never use that. She hated most of the food. She didn't even try to climb the mountain — she went back to our room for a nap.
When we got to the airport in Seoul, she was fussing mightily about the 13-hour flight ahead. She wanted to be upgraded to Business Class. At the very least she wanted a window seat. She's neither tall nor heavy, but she told us repeatedly how hard it was for her to cope with the confined space during a long flight.
Then she stopped and said: "But I guess the monks would see the deprivation as a challenge or something."
I had grown pretty weary of her whining, but now she had my interest. I looked at her.
She shook her head as if to dispel such thoughts.
"But I'm no monk," she concluded as she walked off toward her gate.
Back at home, still trying to shake off the jet lag, still trying to hang on to some of the monk's words, I guess I'd say this: temple stays are obviously not for everybody. But if you're interested in this kind of experience, a stay at a Korean temple offers a unique chance to try an alternate way of living that, astoundingly, has been preserved for 1,700 years.
And it's possible that some of its quiet lessons resonate more than ever.

Incoming 1Ls / Re: Michigan Class of 2012: It Just Feels Right« on: January 22, 2009, 09:41:28 AM »
Where do you current students reside? I have lived on my own for awhile so I have actual furniture and belongings (so no LC for me). Any suggestions for great housing (and places to stay away from)?
I was wondering about this too. I'm trying to find something that would be nice and close to the law quad and relatively inexpensive. Any suggestions current students?

OKC shaft coupling
The OKC coupling (fig 1) has been on the market since the early 40s. OKC couplings are the standard with many well-known controllable pitch propeller manufacturers in the world, but are also used for other applications such as rolling mills, pumps, diesel engines, etc.
OKCX shaft coupling
The inner sleeve of the OKCX coupling is coated with carbides utilizing advanced plasma technology. This coating increases the torque capacity considerably, some 50% higher than for an OKC coupling of the same size, and gives the OKCX coupling a number of advantages:
- higher torque can be transmitted
- can support heavier shock forces caused by fast rotation switches
- shaft diameter can be reduced
- coupling diameter and length can be reduced
- coupling weight can be reduced
- surface pressure from the coupling can be reduced
- reinforcement sleeves for hollow shafts may be dispensed of
OKCS shaft coupling
The OKCS coupling evolved from a special design for engine builders where the torque requirements were less stringent compared to the shaft diameter.
OKCK shaft coupling
The OKCK coupling (fig 2), for wind turbines is designed to fit within limited space, and yet still maintain the benefits of more traditional SKF OK couplings: quick and easy mounting and dismounting.
It is designed to create controlled high pressure against the shafts without leaving any tooling permanently in place.
It is designed to create controlled high pressure against the shafts without leaving any tooling permanently in place.
The OKCK Coupling is mounted using oil power. No loud and vibrating pneumatic wrenches are used. Factory mounting time is less than half an hour and the dismounting time is the same. This also applies if the coupling has to be dismounted and mounted on-site.
Practical testing has shown that the OKCK coupling reduces mounting time up to sixteen times compared with mechanical couplings. And only one person is needed to perform the job.
OKF flange coupling
The OKF coupling (fig 3) was developed to create a simple connection between a cylindrical shaft and engines or gearboxes having a flange at the thrust shaft. The OKF coupling is available with or without a hydraulic unit for mounting/ dismounting. Since the coupling is mounted on a cylindrical shaft and not fixed by keyways, it can easily be adjusted axially and rotated to the desired position.
As with mounting the innovative OKC coupling, the OKF coupling requires only a cylindrical shaft. It is based on the principle of transmitting torque by applying a powerful interference-fit with the oil injection method. Mounting and dismounting takes a fraction of the time required with conventional devices.

In the last few weeks, Caterpillar Inc. Chairman Jim Owens has been talking publicly about the company's plans to increase investments in emerging markets. On Monday in Beijing, China, he put some numbers to those plans.
In the last few weeks, Caterpillar Inc. Chairman Jim Owens has been talking publicly about the company's plans to increase investments in emerging markets.
On Monday in Beijing, China, he put some numbers to those plans.
Owens told reporters in Beijing, including a Reuters reporter, that Caterpillar has earmarked $1 billion for capital expenditures in emerging markets over the next three years.
The bulk of that, he said, will be spent in China.
In fact, Owens was quoted by Reuters as saying Caterpillar's investments in China should triple over the next three years as sales in that country continue to climb.
"It's a huge commitment to China. That will accelerate in the next few years," Owens said. "We think to win long term, strategically, we need to manufacture close to our customers."
Caterpillar spokesman Jim Dugan, who said Owens is in Beijing for business meetings, said the comments Monday were an extension of what Owens has been saying the last few weeks, since he met with industry analysts at the CONEXPO/CON-AGG construction equipment show in Las Vegas.
"Mr. Owens did speak in more general terms there, but this is an extension of what he was saying there while laying out our strategy in emerging markets," Dugan said.
In Beijing, as in Las Vegas, Owens spoke about increasing investments in India, Russia, Vietnam and other emerging markets as well as in China, Dugan said.
In his comments at CONEXPO, Owens said, "Our goal is nothing short of being the leader in every major market by the year 2010 and on absolute terms for every major product line that we serve.
"So this one's going to be a pretty intensely competitive one, and we're going to have to have an on-the-ground investment presence, not only manufacturing, assembly, but components and a very strong product support dealer network."
He also mentioned the possibility Caterpillar will build one or two more manufacturing plants in China, and possibly another for engines. It already has three plants under construction in China.
Owens said Monday that only a small portion of the company's $2.3 billion capital expenditure budget for 2008 is earmarked for emerging markets as Caterpillar continues investing in new plant operating systems in the United States.
Investments in emerging markets will grow rapidly the next few years, he said.
Owens' comments were viewed positively by investors. Caterpillar's stock closed at $78.29 a share Monday, up $1.20.

It never ceases to amaze me how Ubuntu has taken off in the Spanish-speaking world. Then again RMS speaks Spanish and Marcos Diaz, who is Spanish born, is the person who initiated the Nathive project. Nathive is a free image editor like Photoshop, Corel or GIMP, but focused on usability. The program runs in GNOME environments, and anyone can participate in it, contributing ideas or code translations. The project is currently in beta, is written in Python using GTK +, and is working hard to get a very complete program without losing ease of use. Nathive's philosophy is to show respect and gratitude towards the community of GIMP, to make it easy and to reach people who do not need to see all the options at the same time
Nathiv is now a growing community which you can join if you wish.
* 32-bit deb: nathive_0.920-1_i386.deb

Hi All:
I am using Eclipse 3.5 and the Tomcat 6 and Weblogic 11g.
I download the Oracle Eclipse Plugin "//download.oracle.com/otn_software/oepe/galileo". When I debug the jsp with ecliipse and Tomcat 6, it gives me the error "Source not found". It cannot find the jsp but it gives me the line number it is on in the jsp. Also in debug mode, under Variables tab, it shows the list of variables and their value. I started Tomcat6 within Eclipse.
I have the same problem with Eclipse 3.5 and Weblogic 11g. I started Weblogic 11g within Eclipse.
Any hint or help would be greatly appreciated it.

Although adoption actions are within the allocation of the New Jersey Superior Court, Chancery Division, Family Part the filing of the papers is with the Surrogate of the county of venue.
The county of venue is
- The county in which the prospective parents reside; or
- The county where the child resided immediately prior to placement for adoption; or
- If the child is less than three months of age, the county in which the child was born;
- Whenever the child to be adopted has been received into the home of a prospective parent from an approved agency, the action may be instituted in the Superior Court, Chancery Division, Family Part of any county in which the approved agency has an office.
There are eight recognized types of adoptions:
Adult – the adult to be adopted has requested the adoption and if desired, the change of name. The adopting parent(s) must be at least 10 years older than the adoptee
Agency – the child to be adopted is in the custody and control of an approved agency
Foreign Agency – the foreign child to be adopted is in the custody and control of an approved agency
Foreign Private – the foreign child to be adopted has not been received from an approved agency but the approved agency oversees and coordinates placement
Foreign Re-Adoption – the foreign child has been adopted in a foreign country before a Judge or Notary
Private – the child to be adopted has not been received from an approved agency
Relative – the child has not been received from an approved agency but the adoptive parent is a brother, sister, grandparent, aunt, uncle or birth father
Step-Parent – the child to be adopted is the natural or adopted child of the plaintiff's spouse
The Surrogate, as Clerk of Court, is responsible for reviewing and filing the Complaint for Adoption, Order Fixing Date for Hearing and Final Judgment for Adoption. These papers must meet the procedural requirement of the New Jersey Court Rules (R.5:10) or (R.5:11) and New Jersey Statutes. If the pleadings are deficient it is the Surrogate's responsibility to contact the plaintiff or plaintiff's attorney and advise of corrections. Only when the pleadings meet the requirements will the Surrogate schedule the matter for a hearing before the Superior Court.
The complaint cannot be filed with the Surrogate's Court until a child has been in the adoptive home a prescribed length of time. The time varies with the type of adoption. In the case of an Adult adoption this wait is not applicable. In Agency and Foreign Agency the child must be in the adoptive home at least six months. For Foreign Private, Private, Relative and Step-Parent the complaint must be filed within 45 days after receipt of the child into the adoptive home. In Foreign Re-adoption it is upon INS approval.
Depending on the type of adoption being filed with the Surrogate, there are many other documents that must be filed with the pleadings. These may include agency reports, State and Federal Fingerprint Report (CHRI), Child Abuse Registry (CARI), medical information forms, consents and surrenders, Amended Certificate of Birth to Vital Statistics, Affidavit, and Immigration documents (INS).
The filing fee for an adoption is $ 175.00 plus $ 5.00 for each additional Judgment.
The Surrogate's Court often receives requests for information regarding prior adoptions. The requests are usually made by the adopted child who wants to locate natural parents. All adoption files are maintained by the Surrogate, under seal (N.J.S.A. 9:3-52). An adoption file, or even part of an adoption file, cannot be unsealed by the Surrogate without a Superior Court order signed by a Superior Court judge. The Surrogate can only advise as to procedure and cost involved in petitioning the Superior Court to unseal an adoption file.

OCEAN CITY – A new family legacy has been born in the Blu Crab House and Raw Bar on 24th Street and Coastal Highway in the shadows of its its famous predecessor, The Embers Restaurant.
The Embers Restaurant Inc. Vice President Cole Taustin said in 1945 his great uncles, Sam and Irv Taustin, opened the Embers in Ocean City and at that time it reflected a fine dining atmosphere with white table clothes and jackets required.
"As the town started to change, so did we," Taustin said during an interview last week.
As Ocean City became a bright and colorful family-friendly beach resort, the Taustin family found it necessary to test out other dining atmospheres in the early 1980s to see what best fit the visitor.
"They tried different things, like they would do a seafood night, an Asian night, an Italian night, and basically what they did is figure out what the most popular one was and that was the seafood, so eventually they started to do it all the time and in 1985 it went into full swing, a seafood buffet," Taustin said.
Where Blu stands now is where The Embers previously had storage area, retail space and employee housing. As the property was in need of renovations, a collective decision was made by Cole's father, Jay Taustin, Director of Operations Frank Raffo, and Cole to start new, hiring an architect and coming up with the "grand plan" to start a new restaurant.
"My dad always wanted to get into crabs, and Frank and I always loved the idea but we also wanted to diversify a little more to into a really neat interesting menu with interesting food, so we combined the two and that's what we're doing now," Taustin said.
On June 15, Blu Crab House and Raw Bar opened its doors. Blu is located on the west side of the Embers and upon entering a paradise atmosphere greets guests.
"One of the things we really love is that we wanted to bring together all the really neat parts of going out in Ocean City, being outside on the water with palm trees and a comfortable bar with good food in a relaxed environment. We've got all that, and then on top of it you are getting the traditional Maryland meals," Taustin said.
The All You Can Eat Crab Feasts include cheddar bay biscuits, corn and mac and cheese wedges starting out at $19.99 and can be upgraded to include steamed shrimp and roasted barbeque chicken for $27, or snow crab legs and roasted barbeque chicken for $29. Medium, large, or jumbo crabs are also available by the dozen at market price.
Besides blue crabs, the menu includes a variety of steamer pots, raw bar items, appetizers, salads, soups, sandwiches, wraps, subs, burgers and entrees.
"We have fresh fish coming in all the time, the chef is always coming up with new and interesting things," Taustin said.
The Embers and Blu have two different kitchens, but share Executive Chef Jon Lalla and Sous Chef Jeffrey Katzer, who created Blu's menu offerings.
Taustin pointed out a few popular menu items, such as the Salt and Pepper Crusted Seared Ahi Tuna that is thinly sliced and served with cucumber wasabi sauce, and fresh Maryland Crab Cakes with lemon zest mayo.
The latest addition to the menu is the different steamer pots, the snow crab, blue crabs or clam bake, that are accompanied with shrimp, little neck clams, mussels, sausage and red potatoes. These have become a big hit, Taustin said. He added that in the next few weeks as the season changes lobster will become a regular menu item served in a variety of ways.
Happy hour is offered daily from 3-6 p.m. and includes $4 crushes, $2 domestic drafts, specials on mixed drinks and half-price appetizers and sandwiches.
Taustin said as long as weather allows Blu will remain open on the weekends into the off season and will be offering football specials while featuring the games on Sundays. The Embers traditionally closes after Thanksgiving and re-opens in February, and the Taustins plan to have Blu re-open by April.
"We are going to make the fall fun," Taustin said. "It's the time for the locals to get out there, and we want to show them what we have been doing all summer."
The Embers evolved throughout time as a largely family project, but Blu has become what it is so far through a collective effort of the family and entire management team.
"Everyone contributed," Taustin said. "We will take the year to make ourselves better and take the best of what we got before we start doing anything else."


text: Fort Cornwallis ADD TO TRIP PLANNER REMOVE FROM TRIP PLANNER Fort Cornwallis, named after the Governor-General in Bengal in the late 1700s, Charles Cornwallis, is one of the most interesting historical landmarks in Georgetown. It is located close to the Esplanade, next to the Victoria Memorial Clock. The fort's walls, roughly 10 feet high, are laid out in a star-shape formation. A stroll along the perimeters takes roughly 10 minutes. Inside the fort, you can still see some of the original structures built over a century ago, including a chapel, prison cells, ammunitions storage area, a harbour light once used to signal incoming ships, the original flagstaff and several old bronze cannons, one of which is a Dutch cannon called the Seri Rambai, dated 1603. An interesting note about the Seri Rambai is that some locals believe that this particular cannon can have a positive effect on a woman's fertility. Today, this privately managed historical site is popular among visitors. It is equipped with a tourist information kiosk, a cafe, an open-air amphitheatre, a history gallery, a souvenir centre as well as guides who can take you around the fort grounds and provide you with a glimpse into the fort's history.

QuEst Construction Services, LLC; http://www.costgurus.com
I am a construction cost consultant who puts together initial budgets and construction cost estimates for major construction projects. My clients are typically award winning architects and engineers who design projects such as hospitals, corporate campuses, visitor centers, hospitality projects, etc. Most of the projects are leading edge design by some of the nations largest and best design teams. I have been doing construction estimating for 30 years and have the reputation as one of the nations leading experts in getting estimates correct the first time. No budget overruns or incomplete estimates.
I also perform constructability reviews and offer design suggestions that will achieve the same results for less money. So, I am considered a large part of the design process.
Target audience would be as stated, leading architectural designers and engineers that design world class buildings.
I will attach a copy of my current logo.... here was the thinking behind it. A graphic art student at Montana State University designed it for me and did a great job, but never "finished" it.
It is the profile outline of a human head, with a maze inside it and then an energy efficient light bulb going off as an idea is formed.
The head represented the intellect that I bring to the process. The maze represented the myriad of obstacles and problems that you run into when designing a project. The Light bulb being turned on, represented the out-of-the-box solution that we brought to the table that solved the issues. The energy efficient style of light represented the "Green" energy efficient thinking that we use in our process. I am a LEED Accredited Professional (LEED AP). LEED stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design.
Please don't feel you need to go with the above premise. It was a start, but overall, I think it is too "busy" with its message.

As in Segal's model, SBC may result in moral hazard. The opening to international trade adds another sort of inefficiency. Some firms that would have become exporters in the absence of SBC choose to apply low effort and not export in order to extract a subsidy from the government. This effect takes place when the trade costs are sufficiently low. Overall, however, trade liberalization reduces inefficiencies generated by SBC. The number of firms subject to moral hazard SBC decreases, aggregate effort level increases and aggregate profits lost due to SBC-induced sub-optimal effort decline as trade costs decrease. 2010-01-01T00:00:00Z Endogeneity in Nonlinear Regressions with Integrated Time Series Park, Joon Y. Chang, Yonsoon http://hdl.handle.net/2022/14128 2016-12-20T04:30:47Z 2010-12-22T00:00:00Z Endogeneity in Nonlinear Regressions with Integrated Time Series Park, Joon Y.; Chang, Yonsoon This article considers the nonlinear regression with integrated regressors that are contemporaneously correlated with the regression error. We, in particular, establish the consistency and derive the limit distribution of the nonlinear least squares estimator under such endogeneity. For the regressions with various types of regression functions, it is shown that the estimator is consistent and has the same rate of convergence as for the case of the regressions with no endogeneity. Whether or not the limit distribution is affected by the presence of endogeneity, however, depends upon the functional type of the parameter derivative of regression function. If it is asymptotically homogeneous, the limit distribution of the nonlinear least squares estimator has an additional bias term reflecting the presence of endogeneity. On the other hand, the endogeneity does not have any effect on the nonlinear least squares limit theory, if the parameter derivative of regression function is integrable. Regardless of the presence of endogeneity, the least squares estimator has the same limit distribution in this case. To illustrate our theory, we consider the nonlinear regressions with logistic and power regression functions with integrated regressors that have contemporaneous correlations with the regression error.

You may already have Killzone 3 for the PS3, but have you tried it yet in 3D? We fired up the new first person shooter on our 3D TV (an LG 47LX9900) to find out whether you should bother and if you haven't already got a 3D TV whether you should rush out and buy one.
Turn on the PS3, slam in the disk, load up the game, and you'll wonder where the 3D is. That's because it's actually buried within the options menu rather than singing from the roof tops on the home menu system. Once you've found that part of the menu you can then select whether or not you turn on 3D or not.
Changing the entire experience from 2D to 3D is simple, but it turns out not that easy to do on a programming side of things and so you can't just do it in the middle of a campaign when you fancy.
Instead you've got to decide that you want to do it and then stick to it. That's not to say you can't change your mind at a later date, just that you have make sure you're at a save point otherwise you'll lose everything up to that point.
Once you've decided to go 3D you then get to decide by how much at 5 per cent increments.
At 100 per cent 3D the first thing you'll notice in-game and in cutscenes is that the experience is very dark, and that there is unfortunately stacks of ghosting as the game struggles to give you a decent 3D experience.
This isn't helped by the opening level were you are wearing a Helghast helmet. For us parts of the heads-up display appeared double and that only makes for a more confusing experience. The seeing double is witnessed again later on in the game when you're controlling one of the mechanised robot walkers and we can't work out whether it's a fault, or whether its some arty reflection going on. Either way it's not a good experience.
Drat, we hear you say, disappointed that we are telling you to steer clear. Fret not. Remember we said that you could change the strength of the 3D that the game delivers? Well after some tweaking and tinkering we found that 55 per cent 3D gave the results that solved the ghosting problems.
Yes, it still makes the game incredibly dark (in colour not mood), and there is no getting around that really, but it did remove all traceable signs of ghosting on the screen and the seeing double that we had experienced at 100 per cent strength.
So what's the 3D gameplay like?
Well the biggest difference that 3D adds is a sense of depth to everything. Now objects, the enemy, vehicles and buildings are all on a three-dimensional plane rather than just flat cartoon caricatures.
There is debris floating around messing with your sense of vision for example. Take one of the levels where you're tasked with taking out sniper Helghast in a collection of bombed buildings. You really do get the sense that they are far away and that some buildings are closer than others.
It's a similar experience when you're in vehicles: you get the sense you are actually travelling down a road, or about to take a leap off a freeway. It just adds depth to the whole experience.
One of the biggest affects of 3D however is that we found that we couldn't physically play for as long as you can play the 2D version. Whether it's the extra strain on your eyes taking in all that extra information or that you are considerably more "zoned in" on the action, it's tiring stuff.
So does the 3D experience make this a better game? Yes. It does immerse you in the action, but at the cost that you won't be able to play it for as long as you would a 2D gaming session.
Given the choice, and we know because we have had, we've picked the 3D experience every time since as it's just more immersive.
Should you go out and buy a 3D TV just for Killzone 3? Probably not. If you haven't got a 3D television it is not the end of the world. It is still a cracking game and a must have for PS3 FPS fans. If you are however debating whether to get one or not, this will only help nudge you into that final buying decision.
Have you played Killzone 3 in 3D yet? Let us know what you think about the game in the comments below:

An Analysis of Factors Influencing Diets of European ChildrenGwozdz, Wencke; Reisch, Lucia A.; DeHenauw, Stefaan; Lissner, Lauren; Moreno, Luis; Tornaritis, Michael; Molnar, Denes; Siani, Alfonso; Veidebaum, Toomas; Pigeot, Iris (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Because interventions related to diet and other health behaviours are seldom successful and/or sustainable, it is extremely important to identify the individual factors that contribute to a healthier or unhealthier diet. To this end, we use cross-sectional data from the IDEFICS study to analyse the dietary behaviour of children aged between 2 and 9 years in eight European countries. We model the complex nature of these individual factors using structural equation modelling. Our results show that both sedentary behaviour and food exposure are strong contributors to children's dietary choices. However, although we find a positive relation between a healthy diet and weight status for girls, weight status appears independent of diet quality for boys. These outcomes, although they permit no firm conclusions on health policy strategies, clearly suggest that further research based on longitudinal data could provide valuable insights for the design of successful prevention and intervention strategies.

Guess what? You can totally do that now. If you're into putting in an order for an item five months before its likely release, you are more than welcome to go to Amazon and commit $99.99 to the cause. Because we are reaching a heretofore unknown level of readiness with the OUYA, it's time to start pondering what the thing will really be able to do. And how, as an Android system, it will interact with the smartphones and tablets you already have. OUYA will, after all, be a completely connected device, as every game you obtain for it must be downloaded. Folks have long been skeptical about the thing, and for good reason, but if it can enhance or add to our existing mobile experiences then it might be worth your allowance money.
What's all the hubbub?
OUYA, I should point out, is a completely open platform. It will come with proprietary software based on Jelly Bean built in, but this software will not restrict developers. When one builds a game for, say, the Xbox 360, that version of the game can only live within the Xbox Live infrastructure. It can't interact with the versions made for the PlayStation 3 or the Wii U or the PC. This won't be the case for OUYA.
What this means for the games and media-based apps that have already been announced for the OUYA is unclear, but developers will take cues from the geniuses at Spacetime Studios. Those folks have created several MMOs that are truly cross-platform, where users can switch between mobile and console platforms at will without losing progress.
Being an Android platform, OUYA will have a number of games and apps that have either been released on Google Play (Final Fantasy III, VEVO, XBMC, TuneIn, iHeartRadio) or will be (Double Fine Adventure, Saturday Morning RPG, AirMech, Shadowrun Online). Sony recently pioneered the idea that you can play the same AAA game on both a mobile platform (PS Vita) and a home console (PlayStation 3) without missing a beat, and if the OUYA wants to find true life beyond the folks who funded the Kickstarter, developers must take this and Spacetime's philosophy to heart.
As of today, though, your options for going back and forth between a mobile and home version of a single game is very limited. You can do that with Pocket Legends and its derivatives on phones and the Chrome browser, and there are are only a small handful of titles that allow you to switch seamlessly between the Vita and the PS3. This is because its unusual for developers to create a single version of a game built for mobile and home. The magic of Android, though, opens the door for developers to experiment with this mostly untapped form of multi-platform. With OUYA, we have a platform on which developers can easily port games they've already been making for mobile.
OUYA is crucial for the future of gaming
Put simply, it is absolutely necessary for gamers to be able to play OUYA games outside the home and then pick up where they left off when they plop down on the couch. We already have too many gaming ghettos in our lives, and it's time for the mobile and home experiences to truly come together in a way that only OUYA can provide.
In order to truly take off, though, the OUYA team will need to sell this idea to some name brands. Many Gameloft games already support gamepad controls with the MOGA controller for Android, and so it would probably be relatively simple for them to drop, say, Modern Combat 4 on this new platform. Thus far, though, we haven't seen much endorsement for the OUYA from real names within the mobile community.
The OUYA, when combined with mobile platforms, has the potential to pose a real threat to the traditional home consoles, because it will come with exclusive games. Android gaming is already thriving, but the OUYA could push it over the top with the right kind of connectivity. They could literally usher in a new age of gaming, one in which mobile and home experiences successfully blur together. It's an exciting prospect, but game developers need to collectively step up and make it happen.

If you are one of the millions of people who love to play video games but cannot afford to buy all the games you want, there are now websites that offer cheap video games through innovative trading systems. These sites allow you to trade video games that you bought and are tired of playing for video games that you want. The best trading sites also verify the games to determine that they actually work, and most of these sites have affordable fees for helping you trade your games.
Video games are not cheap and buying all of them is impossible. You need money and you need time to play them. There are countless video games with new games or new versions of popular games always being released. The only extremely cheap video games you can find are usually pirated which means they are counterfeit and in violation of copyright laws. Sometimes you can find cheap video games at yard sales or through auction sites, but no one guarantees that they are actually working. Consequently, the best way to get cheap working video games is to find a trading store online or visit your local game retailer which may not have a good selection. Also, when you trade video games there are usually terms and conditions you must agree to in order to protect yourself and the retailer.
If you live in a big city you should be able to find a store and trade your games there. However the odds of finding the video game you want online is much greater because the community of traders is much larger on the more popular sites. A website that offers this kind of services will usually have a reasonable fee you have to pay for each game you trade. The trading system is usually fairly simple and intuitive.
First of all you need to set up an account, choose a user name and a password. Then you create a list of the games you own and want to trade. The next step is finding the game you want. Both lists are saved in your account and can be updated on a regular basis. To find available games that you can trade you simply check the list of the available to trade video games. When a game you want becomes available you will be notified. Similarly, when someone wants a game that you own you will also be notified.
Trading games is made easy with the help of the latest incarnation of online trading sites. They do the hard part for you by checking the games that are traded though their system to ensure that they work properly and are the requested game. Once you trade a game the video game is yours and as soon as you are tired of it you can place it on your have list and trade it for another video game. This way you are able to stretch your video game dollars to the limit.
The other benefit of trading games online is that you keep only your favorite video games and trade the rest. In comparison, when you rent a video game you have to pay for renting it for a certain period of time. You can only rent a few games at once and the newer the game the shorter the period you can keep it. Also if you do not return the games in time you have to pay additional fees and you end up spending more than you anticipated. When you trade, you pay the same fee for every game no matter when the game was released or how long you keep it.

With a rout of a vote tally of 148-65, I'm proud to declare a clear winner to the 1st (and possibly last) MARC Madness Tournament of Library Terminology. And now, without further ado, our champion is metadata.
The final bracket:
Congratulations, metadata. You are the ultimate library term!
I'd like to thank everyone who voted, tweeted the contest, endured my multiple social media sharing, and otherwise contributed. A thank you to the Library Society of the World for the catalyst to get this together and doing it. It's been a long haul and I hope people had fun.
I think the right ending is the 1985 Live Aid version of Queen's We Are The Champions. Thanks again and maybe do this again next year.

The U.S. Secret Service investigated a Virginia military veteran for making threats in February to shoot Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, according to a police investigation released by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Office of the Inspector General.
The man acknowledged having firearms, including a 12-gauge shotgun, in his home and told a neighbor he intended to see Trump at a Virginia event days before he was investigated, according to the police report obtained by the News4 I-Team under the Freedom of Information Act.
While under questioning, the veteran told investigators he was "messing around" and did not truly intend to shoot Trump, the police report said.
The name of the veteran and details on criminal charges have been withheld from the report.
According to the report, the veteran told investigators, "Trump is creating problems instead of helping people." The report also said the veteran told investigators, "He was going to see Trump when he was in Virginia last week, but as he was leaving with his gun, his neighbor stopped him and asked what he was going to do ... and he replied 'shoot Trump,' thought about it and then told himself 'I can't do this' and went back inside his house."
Trump has made multiple campaign visits to Virginia in 2016.
According to the report, the U.S. Secret Service responded to the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Richmond in less than an hour after being notified about the veteran's threat. An agency spokesman declined to offer immediate comment on the incident.
