...popular “Piano Concerto No. 2 in G minor.” The solo piano passage that opens the piece—whose lack of a conventional orchestral prologue or a customarily slow second movement deviates significantly from the standard concerto structure—calls a Bach organ fantasy to mind.

Historically, real estate lags behind an economic recovery. In the 1991 recession, it took the industry 14 months to rebound after the recession's end, and in the 2001 downturn, it took 29 months for the sector to recover, says Bob Bach, chief economist with Grubb & Ellis Co., a commercial real estate services and investment company. Even if the current recession ended in the second quarter, it could take anywhere from 14 to 29 months for real estate to bounce back, says Bach.

Southern societies have preserved an independent way of raising children, resisting the modern educational practices that encourage independence at an early age." (See pictures of kids...
...Moretti and Marco Manacorda, who have studied the phenomenon, the issue also comes down to culture. They've found that some Italian parents will actually pay their grown children not to move out. "Italians, unlike parents from most other countries," Moretti says, "like living with their grown children." Felici-Bach's experience with her Italian husband, though, is slightly different. Born and raised in Rome, he left home for good at 20. But, as it turns out, John Felici has an English mother...
