Jeffrey Owens teaches economics and economic history at Gustavus Adolpus College. His research and publications include work on returns to public investment in stadiums and sporting events. Among the most influential of these works is Estimating the Cost and Benefit of Hosting Olympic Games: What Can Beijing Expect from its 2008 Games? in The Industrial Geographer, and Bread or Circus? The Ethics of Economic Impact Studies. in Enterprising Worlds: A Geographic Perspective on Economics, Environments & Ethic. The 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing continued the pattern of escalating investment in sports venues and other infrastructure by host cities. It is commonly believed that mega-events such as the Olympics leave a large and positive economic legacy for host cities, but ex-post studies have found little or no evidence of such impacts. Although the Olympic Games are a catalyst for investment, this investment is largely ill-suited to contribute to long-term economic growth. There are early indications that this will be just as true for the Beijing Games as it has for other recent Olympics. OFFICIAL WEBSITE: www.china.usc.edu FACEBOOK www.facebook.com

For the first time ever, I do fan dubs… and I just plain SUCK at them. Part 1 of 3. Part 2: www.youtube.com Part 3: www.youtube.com TheMapleSyrupShow- Mario, Luigi, Peach, Sonic, Shadow, Silver STORY: “As the Olympics begin, Mario and Sonic compete in a snowboarding race when, all of a sudden, Mario trips Sonic and it’s war between the two! So they both plot on pranking each other. Sonic talks to Shadow the next day, pleading him to go and beat up Mario. Unfortunately, Shadow doesn’t do errands for free and all goes to hell for Sonic. Mario then finds a note written by Shadow (but signatured as “Sonic”) and finds an insulting message. He then sends a Mario Head virus to his TV terminal. It starts singing Rob Zombie, scaring everyone that is playing the game. Shadow decides to gun down Mario while he mistakens Shadow for Sonic (God, video game characters are idiots). Mario successfully flees while Shadow decides to look for Sonic. The next day, Mario and Luigi talk about the struggle with “Sonic”. Mario then thinks up a diabolical plan that will surely rid of the hedgehog for good. Shadow locates Sonic and asks him to pay up while Sonic seems to be low on cash. This results in Shadow beating up Sonic. He ends up injuring Silver by accident while Sonic then escapes… not for too long, however.” I have the feeling that this poop was a little hit & miss. However, that’s just me. I want to know what you, the audience thinks. Feedback is asked for nicely. T’ank you. Come again.
