Gambia, the smallest country in Africa, does not have many sights, but it does have magnificent countryside to be enjoyed to the full. Gambia is only 320 kilometres long and 35 kilometres wide. The River Gambia divides the country into two parts and turns upwards towards the coast, which means that Gambia is often called the country of the smile.
A peaceful atmosphere radiates from Banjul, Africa's smallest capital city. You feel that you are wandering around a village rather than a commercial centre.

red tape is an expression that arose from a technological innovation. The red tape directly refering to the leader tape found in many reel to reel tape recorders and small compact cassetes. As there can be no sound recorded on this portion of the tape it was considered frustrating and often likened to bureaucracy when one had to wait for the end of the red tape to hear what was recorded on the tape Hence The expression red tape and or cut through the red tape or cut to the chase
All that bureaucracy, its just red tape they could proceed so much faster if they wanted. Cut through the red tape

When your boss hates your guts or envies your smarts that he requires you to go through an oppressively time-consuming sequence of procedures before you can get approval to do something, especially when you are filing for a vacation leave.
My boss sent me through a whole-day worth of red tape to get approval on a half-day vacation.

Obesity can increase the risk of breast cancer by causing breast inflammation, which has been linked to cancer. The purpose of this study is to see if treatment with docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) in overweight and obese women with a history of breast cancer, premalignant lesions, or benign breast disease reduces the amount of inflammation in the breast. If the effects are significant, it might be possible to use DHA to reduce the risk of breast cancer development and recurrence.
DHA is a fatty acid that is present in some foods (such as fatty fish) and in fish oil supplements. DHA is known to inhibit cancer-fueling chemicals produced by certain immune cells that accumulate in inflamed breast tissue. It is not yet known if DHA can reduce the risk of breast cancer.
Participants in this study will be randomly assigned to receive either DHA capsules or placebo (sugar) capsules. Researchers will compare the levels of certain "biomarkers" of inflammation in the blood and breast tissue in both groups.
To be eligible for this study, patients must meet several criteria, including but not limited to the following:
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Ayca Gucalp at 646-888-4538.

Attitude Quotes and Sayings
Thank you to every person who has ever told me I can't. You are just another reason I will.
A bad attitude can literally block love, blessings and destiny from finding you. Don't be the reason you don't succeed.
I'm not cranky. I just have a violent reaction to stupid people.
You can't compare me to the next girl. Because there is no competition. I'm one of a kind, and that's real.
An attitude is an inward thought that wiggles its way out.
I have reached a point in life where I feel it is no longer necessary to try & impress anyone. If they like me the way I am, good & if they don't, it's their loss.
People like me great.
People don't like me great.
As long as I like myself that all that matters.
I might not be someone's first choice, but I am a great choice. I don't pretend to be someone I'm not, because I'm good at being me. I might not be proud of some of the things I've done in the past, but I'm proud of who I am today. I may not be perfect, but I don't need to be. I am the way God made me. Take me as I am or watch me as I walk away.
There can be no positive result through negative attitude. Think positive. Live positive.
Love me? Great
Hate me? Even better
Think I'm ugly? Don't look at me
Don't know me? Don't judge me
Think you know me? You have no idea.
Like me for who I am and not for who you want me to be. Take it or leave it. That simple.
A can-do attitude is all one needs. It acts like a bridge between success and failure.
I'm only responsible for what I say not for what you understand…
Whatever life gives you, even if it hurts, just be strong & act like you're okay. Strong walls shake, but never collapse.
Never allow yourself to be so desperate that you end up settling for far less than that you deserve.
Don't get my personality and my attitude twisted, because my personality is me, and my attitude depends on you!
Take me as I am or watch me as I go.
Don't confuse my personality and my attitude because my personality is ME and my attitude depends on YOU.
I don't care what you think of me!
Unless you think I'm awesome – in which case, you're right! Carry on…
My attitude is my frame of mind,
Like me a second person you can't find.
Judge me and I'll prove you wrong.
Crush me and I will stand up on my own.
The more that I hurt the more I will know I'm stronger each time, each time I fall.

We are a leading global food and beverage company with brands that are respected household names throughout the world.
PepsiCo Chairman and CEO Indra Nooyi describes the program and its three supporting pillars.
Our brands are available in more than 200 countries and territories around the world.
PepsiCo and the National Basketball Association (NBA) today announced a new multiyear marketing partnership ...
With a portfolio of iconic, beloved and locally relevant brands, we're delivering results today and confidently preparing for the future.
We anticipated the need to take environmental stewardship to a whole new level at the start of the new millennium, recognizing that environmental sustainability was becoming a core component of sustainable success. We began to put in place the systems, processes and metrics needed to drive continuous improvement in energy and water conservation as well as packaging and waste reduction.
To read more, download our 2013 Sustainability Report »
PepsiCo takes a comprehensive approach to water stewardship.
We have improved our global water use efficiency by more than 20 percent per unit of production in our operations since 2006.
We are working to improve our energy use efficiency in order to reduce our GHG emissions, conserve fuel and reduce our costs.
As a leading food and beverage company, agriculture is central to our business.
We completed 36 pilot programs through our Sustainable Farming Initiative by the end of 2012.
At PepsiCo, we continually think about new ways to package and deliver our products to minimize our impact on the environment. In this effort, we strive for the "5 Rs" - to reduce, recycle, use renewable sources, remove environmentally sensitive materials, and promote the reuse of packaging in the entire process of packaging selection, design and procurement.
Responsible sourcing means looking at what we purchase beyond the traditional aspects of cost, quality and consistent supply.
In 2012, we spent $1.4 billion with minority- and women-owned suppliers in the U.S. alone.

CUT-Carefully cut the two white zip ties securing the hose and pump handle with scissors. Use caution not to cut the white hose.
CONNECT- Unwind the hose. Firmly push the connector at the end of the hose into the spout on the pump until it locks into place.
EXTEND WAND- Lift sprayer wand off bottle. Push the yellow button while pulling out on the wand nozzle tip. Fully extend the wand until the yellow button snaps into the "SPRAY" position. NOTE: white trigger will not function until the wand is fully extended and the yellow button is fully visible in the "SPRAY" position.
PUMP- Make sure the handle is screwed on TIGHTLY or the bottle will not pressurize. Pump the handle 15 -20 times to pressurize the bottle. A full bottle requires fewer pumps than a half full bottle. Pumping to the higher range will provide longer sprayer duration. After pumping, push pump down & turn handle clockwise to lock into carrying position. NOTE: This bottle is designed to expand under pressure & cannot be over-pressurized.
SPRAY- Aim wand. Spray by pushing down the white trigger with your thumb. Adjust spray pattern by rotating the white nozzle tip one half rotation. Spray weeds until thoroughly wet.
STORE- When finished spraying, push the yellow button and push wand until the yellow button snaps back into the original storage position. Place the wand back onto the bottle with the nozzle facing down.
DEPRESSURIZE- Push pump handle all the way down and turn pump handle and cap counter-clockwise to relieve pressure, then re-tighten prior to storing..
ENTRY- People and pets may enter treated areas after spray has dried.
Apply when weeds are actively growing. Be sure to spray when the air is calm to prevent drift to desirable plants.
May be used around vegetable gardens. Also use on patios, walkways, driveways, gravel and mulch beds, around shrubs or trees, in flower beds, and along fences.
Your coverage will vary based on the number of weeds treated and the size of the weeds in a given area. Container will cover approximately 400 sq ft.
All ornamental flowers, trees and shrubs may be planted one day after application. Lawn grasses, herbs, vegetables and fruit may be planted 3 days after application. Glyphosate targets an enzyme found in plants but not people or pets.
Weeds: Kills all vegetation contacted.
The Pump 'N Go Sprayer provides up to 10 minutes of continuous spray.
Extendable wand provides greater accuracy without bending over. Ideal for consumers who demand convenience and ease of application.
Pump 'N Go® Sprayer System
2% Glyphosate, 2% Pelargonic and other related fatty acids.
4 years
IF EMPTY: Place in the trash or offer for recycling if recycling is available. IF PARTLY FILLED: Call your local solid waste agency for disposal instructions. Never place unused product down any indoor or outdoor drain.

The reason it doesn't say what the headstock is made from is because the headstock and neck are a single piece of wood. The ears are typically sourced from a section of the neck that is typically cut away in the build process. But I'll let Matt answer you directly.
PS, Brian is still a PRS dealer and still has direct contact with the PS team.

Man, I thought with IoJ finally falling, we'd rock the hell out of the lower bracket but we're actually having trouble. We have a massive population on and control SM, so I think at least people are pissed about it. If nothing else. And there is nothing else.

As a Carnished Toaster, I'm not sure how I feel about the jump up to the next bracket.
On one hand, yay us (well, more like "yay them" since I don't wubwub (that sounds... inappropriate)).
But on the other hand, we were (obviously) doing well in the previous bracket and so had nifty bonuses lots. Hopefully we'll get some of those again, but ...we'll see.
(also, agree with Raye)

Hmm, IoJs bracket fall lit a fire and we own about 65% of all maps. It's actually a lot of fun playing now because everyone on the server is apparently in WvW.

Choose VehicleThe Scorpion ATR is Pirelli's On-/Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire developed for pickup, crossover and sport utility vehicle drivers that want to combine on-road civility with off-road capability. The Scorpion ATR is designed to master long highway journeys, wet roads and the challenges of winter driving by combining paved road comfort and handling with rough terrain grip and maneuverability.
The Scorpion ATR features a silica-enhanced tread compound molded into a quiet-running, symmetric all-terrain type tread pattern. A virtual continuous center rib and large, stable shoulder tread blocks provide directional stability and steering response while interlocked independent tread blocks in the center tread area further promote acoustic comfort, even on-road wear and off-road traction. Sweeping central circumferential grooves and lateral shoulder grooves channel water to resist hydroplaning and enhance wet traction. The independent tread blocks are siped to provide extra biting edges that enhance off-road traction on loose surfaces and in snow. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon cord to support the tread area providing predictable handling and high-speed control, while polyester cords stabilize the sidewalls and enhance ride quality.
El neumático Scorpion ATR de Pirelli pertenece al segmento Dentro/Fuera De Carretera Todoterreno y fue desarrollado para conductores de picops, utilitarios deportivos y utiliautos (crossover)s que deseen combinar la tranquilidad de la conducción sobre pavimento, con la capacidad de conducir en caminos todoterreno. El Scorpion ATR fue diseñado para dominar los viajes largos en autopistas, las carreteras con agua y los retos que presenta el invierno; todo esto, sin descuidar, el confort en las carreteras y la maniobrabilidad en terrenos rocosos.
El Scorpion ATR, presenta en su construcción externa, una banda de rodamiento con sílice-mejorado, moldeada en un patrón simétrico tipo todoterreno. Un segmento central virtualmente continuo y bloques estables en los hombros, proveen estabilidad direccional y respuesta al cambiar de dirección; mientras que, bloques independientes enclavijados en el área central proveen un desgaste parejo sobre la carretera, tracción fuera de ella y niveles bajos de ruido. Canales circunferenciales centrales y ranuras laterales, expulsan el agua del área de contacto, aumentando la tracción y la resistencia al deslizamiento en agua (hydroplaning).

Tire tested:
Pirelli Scorpion ATR On-/Off-Road All-Terrain
Vehicles Used | Tire sizes tested: |
Jeep Wrangler | LT245/75R16 |
Lexus GX470 | P265/65R17 |
Ford F-150 | P275/55R20 (Original Equipment ) |

Hummer H2 | LT325/45R24 |
The Scorpion ATR is Pirelli's On-/Off-Road All-Terrain light truck tire developed for pickup truck and sport utility vehicle drivers that want on-road civility along with off-road capability. Initially used as Original Equipment on Ford F-150 FX4, Lariat, and King Ranch models, as well as the Lincoln Mark LT, the Scorpion ATR is now available in a range of traditional light truck sizes, as well as extends All-Terrain Performance into the large rim diameter tuner sizes appropriate for today's street/sport trucks.
Because the availability of the Scorpion ATR's expanded size range preceded our 2006 test season in South Bend, members of Tire Rack Team were invited to experience the Scorpion ATR at a ride & drive conducted by Pirelli for journalists and tire dealers on the highways and desert north of Las Vegas, as well as at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway.
Our first impression of the Scorpion ATR's evolution was its expanded size range. Arriving at the Speedway, we saw test vehicles ranged from the Jeep Wrangler to the Lexus GX470, Ford F-150, Cadillac Escalade, and Hummer H2.
While no direct competitive tire comparisons were possible, the Scorpion ATR showed its on-road civility during our 35-mile trip from the Las Vegas Motor Speedway to Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park. The tire's combination of ride comfort, noise level and highway tracking on Interstate 15 was noted and its responsiveness and cornering capability along the twisting park roads was commendable. The Scorpion ATR later showed its off-road capability as it easily crawled up and down the terrain when we traveled some rock-strewn trails.
During our return to the Speedway, we encountered a hailstorm that blanketed the road and the surrounding landscape with pea-size hail for a short time. While it didn't take long for the hail to be melted by contact with the warm earth and ensuing rain, neither condition appeared to faze the tires.
Once back at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway, we had the opportunity to drive slowly through an off-road course sculpted in the dry infield of the Speedway's half-mile clay oval. This gave us the opportunity to experience the tires' traction up and over steep manmade inclines and descents, as well as feel their resistance to slipping sideways when driving across slopes. In all cases the tires performed as anticipated, exhibiting little wheelspin and sideslip.
The Scorpion ATR demonstrates off-road capability as it drives along Nevada's rock-strewn trails.

I thought I should start the new year, 2013 off with a bang. A very expensive thirty year old bottle of Scotch from Glenfiddich, which I received as a gift from my wife about one year ago.
The Glenfiddich Distillery was founded in 1886 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland. The Gaelic word "Glenfiddich" translates to "Valley of the Deer" in English and as a result the Distillery has adopted the emblem of a large male stag to symbolize the distillery and their whisky. According to the Glenfiddich website, their Malt Master personally selects each Oloroso Sherry and Bourbon Cask that goes into the Glenfiddich 30 Years Old Whisky by nosing and tasting each of them to ensure that they contribute the right character and flavour into the final Malt which is produced from only a handful of vattings each year.

I don't think it will fit. I have the new 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display and it's much slimmer than the non-retina display MacBook Pro, so much slimmer that none of the regular MacBook Pro cases fit properly.

Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde dives into the end zone for a touchdown during the fourth quarter of Saturday's game against Iowa at Ohio Stadium. / Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports
It was more than a highlight reel 19-yard touchdown run. More than just Carlos Hyde�s wild ride. We may very well remember it as a microcosm of Ohio State�s season.
The sometimes balletic, often brutish Hyde burst through a huge hole, got knocked off-stride, staggered backwards two yards like a punch-drunk boxer and then regained his bearings, diving into the end zone to punctuate the decisive TD in Saturday�s 34-24 win over Iowa.
If needlessly going airborne was Hyde�s idea of style points, Ohio State will take them. The popular theory is that the Buckeyes need to do more than just win to impress the voters who hold their BCS fate in their hands.
Like Hyde on his riveting run, the Buckeyes� defense took another couple of steps backward before finishing the job.
On a day when OSU never had to punt, Iowa�s best defense was its offense. At halftime, the unranked Hawkeyes had a ridiculous seven-minute edge in time of possession and were an even more ridiculous seven of nine on third down conversions in building a 17-10 lead.
Yes, Iowa came in among the national leaders in third down success, but still.
This bend and break act is getting old and making it tougher to build a case for Ohio State as a bona fide national contender, especially when the counter argument is that it can�t stop anyone with a pulse, let alone a supposed juggernaut like Oregon.
Coach Urban Meyer�s parting comment was a joke, but he wasn�t exactly smiling.
�I�m going to enjoy this win,� he said of a streak that has now reached 19 � 20 if you include his last game at Florida. �I feel outstanding. I�m going to go hug my players and my family, go to work tomorrow. But tonight I�m not worrying about any defense.�
There wasn�t any defense, at least for the first 30 minutes. The Buckeyes tightened things up in the second half, letting Iowa possess the ball for only seven minutes. But all the cynics will remember about that half is that 6-4, 245-pound tight end Jake Duzey not only beat cornerback Armani Reeves on an 85-yard touchdown catch that momentarily made it 24-all, but out-ran the supposedly speedier Reeves the last 35 or so yards to the end zone.
�The reason we recruit (players) is their 40 times,� Meyer said. �We�ve got to find out who�s giving us those 40 times.�
It�s a good thing quarterback Braxton Miller finally exhibited the flashy footwork we often saw pre-MCL strain because one got the sense Ohio State was going to have to win a scoring match.
The way Iowa�s three unheralded tight ends were killing the Buckeyes in the first half (five catches on the opening TD drive alone), I kept waiting for Marv Cook to show up.
Cook was the Iowa TE who basically sealed Earle Bruce�s fate as Ohio State coach in 1987 by catching a game-winning, 27-yard scoring pass on fourth-and-23 with six seconds left in the �Shoe.
Duzey and fellow tight end CJ Fiedorowicz combined for 10 catches, good for 167 yards and two scores. They had 15 catches between them entering the game.
Their play helped Jake Rudock become the latest first-year starting quarterback to have a career day against the Buckeyes, joining Cal�s Jared Goff and Wisconsin�s Joel Stave. And don�t forget Northwestern�s two-headed quarterback of Kain Colter and Trevor Siemian threw for 343 yards.
�(Iowa) schemed us up (with three tight ends), but other teams do that kind of stuff. We need to do a better job,� linebacker Ryan Shazier said. �That�s not the type of defense we play. We�re used to making the other team adjust. Instead they were stuffing it down our throat. There were players screaming in the locker room (at halftime) that we had to get our stuff together.�
Shazier has taken to wearing No. 2 in honor of safety Christian Bryant, whose broken ankle has created a bigger void in the secondary than anyone could have imagined. Reeves wasn�t wearing Bradley Roby�s uniform Saturday, but he did step in at corner when Roby was ejected in the first quarter on a questionable application of the new targeting rule.
Suffice it to say, Roby will not be wearing Reeves� jersey number any time soon.
�Losing two leaders (Roby and Bryant) is tough,� safety C.J. Barnett said, �but you�ve got to have other guys step up.�
First-year nickel back Tyvis Powell had an interception to help seal the deal, but once again most of the guys stepping up were on offense.
That�s where taking a dive should be a good thing in the eyes of the pollsters.

Arrest warrant issued for Derry town administrator for lewd conduct
New Hampshire State Police obtained an arrest warrant for Anderson, 50, on Friday for two counts, both Class A misdemeanors.
Anderson, a former town manager from Boothbay Harbor, Me., has been on paid administrative leave since July 12.
The DirectTV salesman had visited Anderson's home at random around 7:13 p.m. on July 11, and at first believed no one was home, according to an affidavit by Trooper Sgt. John Mullen.
"After observing the home's main door to be open, but the storm door closed, (the salesman) suspected that someone was home," Mullen said in the affidavit. The salesman – identified in court papers as E.F. - knocked but didn't get an answer, so he turned his back and began to leave the property.
The salesman turned his back to the house and "observed an arm sticking out of the door waiving him back to the residence," Mullen said.
The salesman "explained that he was invited into the home and was confronted by a nude male subject," the trooper said.
Anderson told the salesman that he was in a "nudist" home, and "made some comments to (the salesman) which included inviting him to take his clothes off" and inviting him back to the house later on "for a party," according to state police.

Pet supplies retailer Zooplus grows web sales 35.5% in Q1
Total sales in 2015 are expected to reach $811 million.
It's too late to make Borders into a big enough e-commerce player.
When I was growing up in Michigan and later making trips to see friends and family in Ann Arbor, it was always a treat to go visit the flagship Borders store downtown and near the University of Michigan campus.
The store was every inch a book store with thousands of tomes of every size and a quiet place to browse a few chapters before making a decision to make a purchase—or not. These days the store is still there, but I wonder how much longer Borders will be—at least the brand I grew up with.
If you've been reading the news online at InternetRetailer.com (or anywhere else for that matter) you are probably aware that Borders, No. 194 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, is fighting for its very life. This morning Borders announced it has secured $625 million in new financing from GE Capital Restructuring and will use the money to streamline costs and refocus its business model, mostly online.
I am sorry to say it's probably too little and too late. There will likely be a Borders brand around for a while and it will include a nice-looking e-commerce site resplendent with author interviews, staff book recommendations, and plenty of electronic book reader devices and electronic books to choose from.
But let's be clear: Borders is not going to catch Amazon (it lost that battle more than a decade ago) and it's going to be hard pressed to even catch Barnes & Noble, which Borders actually mulled over acquiring last fall.
Here are some facts to consider:
There used to be room in the economy for a nice number three player—being from the automotive state I grew up hearing General Motors, Ford and Chrysler referred to as the "Big Three."
But not anymore, and especially in online retailing. Borders is making every effort to become a serious web player and has been for years. In 2008 Borders finally launched its own e-commerce site with sophisticated guided navigation and other slick features and functions. Prior to that Borders.com served only as a corporate information site and Borders conducted e-commerce through a site hosted by Amazon.com Inc.
More recently Borders rolled out a new electronic books store with 1.5 million titles, including what the retailer says are thousands of free titles. The books come in a variety of formats, including digital and PDF files, the retailer says.
Borders also offered its loyalty program members multiple incentives to shop at the e-books store, including gift cards, free shipping on certain items, double loyalty club dollars, also known as Borders Bucks, and exclusive offers on select digital titles.
But let's face it: Borders is struggling and it probably won't be as successful as Amazon and Barnes & Noble in the transition to the brave new digital world of electronic book readers and e-books. Nobody, it seems to me, is going to catch Amazon, and Barnes & Noble, under the leadership of CEO William Lynch—the only top executive at a retail chain that came directly to the job from running e-commerce—is betting its entire future on morphing from a conventional books retailer into a truly digital brand.
The lesson Borders is painfully learning now is that it didn't take e-commerce seriously enough all those years ago. Borders does have a few big things going for it online—its loyalty program has 38 million members and is very innovative in digital marketing strategies. In 2009, Borders also invested in Kobo Inc., a device development company and e-books store for smartphones, tablets, netbooks, laptops and e-readers.
Borders has a new lease on life—at least for now thanks to new financing. But it's likely game over for gaining any big jumps in serious online retailing market share. There's a lesson for Borders and other chain retailers to learn from this: Take the web even more seriously now or settle for being just one more niche retailer or a footnote in the history of failed retail brands.
I hope I don't read about the demise of Borders.com on my Kindle or Nook.

It's not enough to call it a "dump," per so, but snow is undeniably falling in Mammoth Wednesday.
The National Weather Service is being cagey as to how much precipitation we'll get, but the five-day precipitation graphic shows as much as 1.25 inches of moisture over the next few days. That translates into about a foot of snow, plus or minus.
This moisture is accompanied by a cold wave. That means the heavy Sierra Cement glop is not a factor.
Whatever snow comes down, it will arrive as powder.

Biotechnology a newly emergent and highly technical field, which concerns itself with the use of biological processes in order to aid technological advancement. Also known as the 'life sciences,' cellular manipulations can be used to fight new strains of disease, or in theory, even cure world hunger. The industry produces about £3 billion in annual revenue in the UK and provides employment for more than 20,000 staff at some 300 businesses. The UK is one of the leading nations in the world for biotechnology, and has won an impressive 23 Nobel Prizes for breakthroughs in the field.
Recruitment agencies report that many employment opportunities are available in the areas of clinical research, chemical engineering, and warehouse operations. Most of these roles require a relevant degree or masters but biology related courses are traditionally some of the most oversubscribed and competitive with only around 20% of applicants being accepted. Professionals in the field are required not only to have advanced academic degrees, but to also complete hands-on training programmes, (usually provided on the job), to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and the practical demands of the profession.
While many of the job roles are degree driven, there are non graduate routes into the industry, namely in areas such as animal care. In this area, employers will mainly look for GCSEs and A-levels but previous experience in caring for animals will weigh heavily on any prospects. On-the-job training will prove to be the most important aspect in this role but staff may later be encouraged to undertake an NVQ in Animal Technology
London is the UK hub for Biotechnology which would perhaps justify the significantly higher salaries which are found there when compared to the rest of the country. Nationwide salaries range from £20-55K, and the average income is about £30K. In London, however, that average rises to £42K.
The largest employers for this field in the UK are Unilever Research, GSK, and Pfizer, with the latter frequently finding itself at the top of the big spenders list for research projects. A significant proportion of jobs are also university affiliated, and PhD research accounts for a major part of the industry.

I'd trade both of them immediately for some Roccat versions if I could.

Obama is the best for America as he did great job for the betterment of American future in form of withdrawal of American army from Iraq and perhaps in Afghanistan.
While Republican are not sincere to American public because they wanted to engage the American in war as former President Bush has did to make the Muslim world worst enemy of America.
I think so, in next term Obama or Democrat will focus to maintain the economics stability as American economy is world' largest and developed economy, hence specific planning might be stand again the leading economy of the world.
Economic stability, as in high umemployment and $5 tillion of deficits? He has been an absolute disaster.
Also a fact - Bush signed the contract with Iraq to withdrawl before Obama took office. Facts matter.
Do the politicians actually say just what the "American Dream" is?
Is the american dream being a public employee union worker who looks to receive a pension anywhere from 1 to 2 times their base salary as a worker? Fully paid medical care? A union wage far higher than private sector workers?
Is the american dream owning a home? [the housing bubble ought to preclude that as the american dream] The local and state governments want as many home owners that can be because of property taxes. Should that be the american dream? buy a home because the local and state governments need the property taxes to pay for all the union workers and their pensions?
I think Carl Karcher, founder of Carls Jr. restaurants [and owner of Hardee's] said it best. You can read it in any Carls Jr. restaurant on a plaque on the wall.
Carl Karcher started out with a hot dog cart, and with hard work, and little luck [as well as bank financing] parlayed his single hot dog cart, into a chain of fast food restaurants and grew wealthy from it. The plaque says ..."Living the American Dream"
Again, funny how the politicians use the tern "The American Dream" which if you ask 10 different people, they will give 10 different answers.
So just what is "The American Dream?
After watching a bunch of speeches myself, more from the Democratic side than the Republican one, one thing I can say is that just after one speech from the Republican side, you can clearly see the difference only from the tone both party uses. The Republican are extremly negative. It seems like their only goeal is not to help America, but to detrone Barack Obama. They also use different kind of emotions to pass their message, as angriness, hate, disrespectful and mean-spiritred. But on the other side of the medal, even after four years of difficulties and more or less "complications", the Democrats are very positive, forward-looking, affirming and hopeful. They are not stuck on the past, but on the future, and are using their mistakes to make it better. I am not living in the US, but as a soon to be citizen, I can myself see the difference since Mr. Obama is president. One of his slogan was "Yes WE can" and I believe that he is proving that if we're all united, we can make it better, and it will obviously take more than small four years to achieve the biggest goal ever, but it is in process.
I cannot affirm the veracity of Edward Klein or his comments in The Amateur yet modern political history may ultimately reveal his credibility or lack thereof. He begins on page eighty three of his book The Amateur by quoting historian Robert Dallek list of constants in the men who have most effectively fulfilled the presidential oath of office: 1) vision; 2) political pragmatism; 3) national consensus; 4) personal connection with the people; and 5) credibility. Dalleck seems to place the greatest emphasis on 4 and 5. (1)
Right or wrong Klein gives us his brief summary of one major presidential advisor. "She knows the buttons, the soft spots, the history, the contest"…thus spoke Michelle Obama about Valerie Jarrett. Klein perceives that she is the nexus if not ground zero in the Obama operation. As the Senior Adviser and Assistant to the president for Intergovernmental Affairs and Public Engagement Obama passes most important decisions past her. (2)
According to Klein it is difficult to follow Valerie Jarrett's mystical hold on the Obamas. She seems to have come from one of America's leading black families. Valerie attended Stanford University and The University of Michigan Law School. Valerie secured her first job as Richard M Daley's corporation counsel in Chicago
According to Edward Klein, she has no experience of international experience and as he notes she offers no background in economics or fiscal policy and yet she is one of a few of the president's most important advisers. One can read much more about Valerie Jarrett in Edward Klein's book The Amateur recently published.
In November we will all participate in a Presidential election. In preparation for this event it will be expeditious for the presidential and vice presidential nominees to prepare themselves for the coming debates. It is true that none of the advisors or staff will be debating, yet is it important to examine the back ground and service of one who is rumored to be one of the most influential voices in this administration.
Who can forget the exploits and plight of Russian Czar Nicholas and the eventual controversy among the people over Rasputin decades ago? Both men in November are seeking our votes, is one of the nominees waiting the approval of a special person, who appears to be an intelligent advisor and loyal friend? What elements influence that counselor's decision making? I will relegate this matter to the American electorate this election.

The Republicans are foolish to ask this question.
Think of it this way - using this analogy:
Four years ago, unemployment was about 6% and the Republicans (under President Bush) pushed President Obama off the employment cliff where he fell to 10.3% unemployment instantly.
Thus, in reality, President Obama was handed a 10.3% unemployment and banking financial crisis.
Whether you like President Obama or not, from a deep ditch of 10.3% unemployment thrust upon him, he got it to 8.1% and that's a 21% improvement.
Not bad, could be better but President Obama also dealt with the financial crisis.
Why the Republicans think this is their strong suit question, the American voters are smart enough to instinctively know it's a loosing Republican tactical question.
Of course the United States is better off today thanks to President Obama. Give President Obama another four years to make it even better!

I think another important question is:
"Would you be better off today if Mitt Romney were President these last 4 years?"
I'm sure there are those who look at his policies and think we'd be better off. And they should vote for Romney if so. As for me, I see us with a liquidated GM and Chrysler and all the ancillary businesses dependent on their existence (meaning he would have to have created an extra million jobs just to be even), no new mileage standards, status quo on healthcare, increased spending on items in the defense budget (many not really for defense, just classified as such), lower tax revenues (which also contribute to the deficit), banks taking risks on the taxpayer's dollar, and no incentives for companies to create jobs in the U.S. as opposed to overseas.
"The mayor of Minneapolis hailed "pioneer ancestors" who had not settled the prairies alone but in wagon trains."
What the lofty Mayor left out of his communitarian dream was the fact that those assembled in the wagon train had voluntarily formed a private - not government - association for mutual economic gain.
In short, a corporation.
Just the sort of organization which communitarian leftists today excoriate for providing goods and services which their customers voluntarily part with money to receive.
Ever since last week I feel like a new person.
I absolutely despise anyone that is not Caucasian or Straight.
I don't think of women as real people anymore and I'm absolutely fascinated by guns.
Despite becoming rich overnight I feel incredibly greedy. So, much so that I now steal food from the hands of poor kids and feel really really good about it later, especially if they are poor immigrant kids.
And I'm able to lie and cheat with incredibly ease, almost as if I have no conscience whatsoever.
Even my skinhead doctor couldn't find anything wrong with me.
Is there a name to this incredibly welcome change?
sorry, posted twice, how can i delete this ?
What a partisan article, easy to see The Eonomists bends to the left ! DNC was farcical even if a large crowd of tame suckers applauded big time.
Onama was insignificant as ever . Public was rather impressed by emotional subjective acting like the wet-eye blurb of Michelle and the sincerely fake pitch of Bill Clionton, like the vacuum peddler he is. All a big show, nothing substantial .
It is interesting to check the differences between obama's and romney sponsors... if you check, obama is pretty much sponsored by important universities, while romney is sponsored by dark companies..
check obama's http://clnk.me/1wOvE
,and romney's http://clnk.me/1wEaE ,,contributors..
and then see the differenceI know obama will not be the best... but... at least there are no dark interest behind him and he promotes national products
An example of Obama creating jobs abroad or benefiting foreign companies with our money (borrowed from places like China) was this Cash for Clunkers program.
More than 80% of the new cars purchased were made by foreign companies, and OUR MONEY totaling $4,500 per new car was given to buyers of these foreign cars. Not a great deal for the Detroit three who wound up with less than 20% of new business from the program.
Besides the free money, all this program did was bring forward car sales by a couple of months. Car sales following the cessation of the program fell dramatically.
Another Obama program was pushing the banks into lowering the mortgages of those who were underwater in their houses. This is complete madness. The banks will make up this loss from others by increased fees and higher rates. There is no free lunch.
Another program under an executive order Obama issued recently (by-passing congress) was to allow states to come up with alternative rules to looking for work while receiving welfare and food stamps.
Clinton and Gingrich came up with this welfare reform in 1996 which required these work rules and no exceptions allowed. It resulted in a large number of former welfare recipients getting off welfare and getting a job.
They will be more of the same kind of lunatic programs if he is given another 4 years.
Obama tried to spin the Friday jobs report for August as another month of positive growth of jobs. In reality:
1. 96,000 jobs were created compared to 150,000 which are normally required to cover new job seekers
2. Almost 400,000 left the jobs market discouraged and tired of looking vainly for a job - leading to the decline in the unemployment rate.
3. There were 453,000 fewer young workers in August than July.
4. The unemployment rate for young adults rose from 16.4% to 16.8%
It was a shocking report and a further confirmation that this president's policies aren't working. After more than 3 years since the recession ended in June 2009 when negative growth turned positive.
There was a slight improvement in economic conditions at the end of last year and the beginning of 2012, but since then conditions have worsened with GDP growth declining from 3% in the 4Q 2011,to 2.0% in the 1Q 2012, to 1.7% in the 2Q 2012. The new jobs being added are also declining rapidly this year.
All this talk by dems about being handed a massive economic mess pales a little when you remember that the recession ended in June 2009. More than three years ago.
A point that you will never hear from dems.
Bill Clinton is right, the old economy is not coming back. An economy where Government spent tax payer money funding programs to employ people. Projects like the Apollo Program, the Hydroelectric dam projects, the interstate highway system. All of which gave rise to the "middle class" comprised of small business owners who opened their small businesses because of those programs. The scientists, engineers, administrators, assemblers, factory workes, employed by those programs
The new economy, and the new middle class, are the unionized public employees who's wages and salaries, including pensions and medical care are paid for by taxes upon the people, just like Greece.
America that those in their middle to late 40s and older knew growing up, is no longer and we can thank those characters we elected to office to run our country for it. No longer is America the country others aspire to be, but is a country, like the Roman Empire, that is in decline. All because of political groups who want to mold and change America into what they thought it should be when they were young during the 1960s.
America lived as long as The Greatest Generation, and as those who were a part of The Greatest Generation, die off, so to is America dying off.
I wouldn't be quick to bet against the U.S. One thing we do quite well is adapt and improve.
There are no guarantees, but your gloom and doom has been echoed by almost every generation before, and none have been right yet.
"....and a reality that has seen him look like a prisoner of congressional dysfunction and obstructionism."
That pretty well sums it up; congressional obstructionism, by the Republicans, to the detriment of us all. If you want government to work well, don't entrust it to those who think government is the problem. They will insure that it does not.
And don't entrust government to those who think government is the solution, either. Rent-seekers and autocrats-in-waiting all of them, always devising new Chicago rules for looting the productive to buy the votes of the handout gang.
A fair comment except for one thing:
Most Democrats don't feel that government is the solution, only that it is often part of the solution (big difference). You're the one who says they think that govt is the solution, not them. Do you have actual instances where any Democrats have said the words: "government is the solution"?
Many Republicans have publicly stated that "government is the problem". To be fair, I think that many say it just to make a point of too much govt, they do believe that some govt is necessary to solve problems. However, the fact remains that they have repeatedly made the statement that "government is the problem".
I consider my position is demonstrated well enough by the enormous expansions of government powers and bureaucracy - far beyond Constitutional powers - under the FDR, LBJ and Obama administrations. Citing crude slogans like 'government is the problem' is intended only to illuminate the results of actual governing policies, as I have demonstrated above.
It would be difficult to show that any Democrat administration since FDR has moved to restore the State's rights and individual rights usurped under those three Presidents.
And at the beginning of last week's Democrat convention someone did say, on the opening video, "Government's the only thing we all belong to." That's a complete reversal of the principle of a republic, in which the government belongs to the citizens, and not to an unaccountable class of bureaucrats or an autocrat.
I consider your argument to be an example of the problem with civil discourse today. You cut some slack to those you agree with, and cut no slack to those you disagree with.
I'll accept that to most who say 'government is the problem' , they are only illuminating an issue. But it seems rather disingenuous to then say that one person saying "government's the only thing we all belong to" as a huge reversal of the republic. More likely, that meant that we all have a responsibility to each other, that we are all in this together.
Likewise using words like "usurp" implies that somehow those who have a different view of government than you are somehow wrong and immoral. IMHO, Democratic administrations have absolutely restored individual rights, e.g. the rights of homosexuals to marry. (I know you will disagree with me and somehow try to say that isn't individual rights. You are absolutely entitled to disagree, but please understand that rational people can have differing views than you. It doesn't make us wrong or respect the Constitution any less than you).
The Constitutional separation of powers has been damaged by the Executive arrogation of powers properly belonging to Congress. There's no better word than 'usurped' to describe it.
Just about every autocracy begins in the same way - the Big Man uses some emergency to justify seizing more powers from others. We've now taken three big steps on that path.
Oh boy. You seem to be what I call a cafeteria Constitutionalist. You only believe in the parts you agree with.
The Constitution allows the Executive some powers and says that the Supreme Court decides whether it is Constitutional, not you. When you use words like arragation and usurp you imply that they don't respect the Constitution. And you lose people like me who are open to different ideas, but tune out extremists.
Every generation is filled with doomsayers like you who think the sky is falling because they don't agree with everything that is happening. Sometimes they are right, but 99% of the time they are wrong. I see no credible evidence that there is any more exercise of Executive power than has existed in our history.
Good luck with your crusade. I won't be joining.

I don't see the problem here. Now the children can get more toys.
"I don't see the problem here. Now the children can get more toys."
Problem is, they're all made in China.
They (the toys) are higher quality than the ones made in the US.
Of course... or not, I don't care.
But still, not that good for US jobs... is it?
Have any of mitts' five sons served in the armed services ?

or won't
"Have any of mitts' five sons served in the armed services ?"
Did Obama?
"A swiss bank account, thats used to prevent paying taxes to the United States."
Silly boy, that is in accordance with the law - like many members of the Obama administration do.
The hypocrisy of the left.
no one ,no presidebnts,before him or after him can fix current economic mess.the economy develops like building a skyscrapers,whic his built quickly but collapse in just few seconds.you are too naive,we should give him more 4 years because only he knows the situation we are in ,America is in.the jouney is hard,but we can work together to go through it . he never think its easy when he took the office,only you people dont understand the situation.
The U.S. is becoming the foremost nation on earth that promotes homosexuality, same sex marriages and aborting the unborn. The unborn have absolutely no Human Rights and it would be fitting that the United Nations would come to the defence of the unborn who cannot speak for themselves.
Obama kills millions of innocent unborn humans, unashamedly, while Assad has to bear the shame for killing terrorists and trouble makers. Something haywire there.
The substance of the speeches of the delegates and the facial expression of the listeners eliciting disgust, such as nodding, widening the eyes for the t.v. cameras. Others who got the point should expose the hypocrisy done in the name of "freedom of women" over their bodies. No so. Freedom ends where another's life begins.
Obama did not live up to the promise of "yes we can." The economy is in a mess after 4 years. Who would want 4 more years of the same?!
You were kidding, right? Obama doesn't kill anyone. And you think Assad should be praised? Wow. Gotta love undereducation. Giving women the "freedom to choose" should be embraced in "the land of the free". If abortions were forced (like in China), then maybe you would have a case. Of course the unborn don't have human rights, they're fetuses. You think it'd be better to go back to the days of coathanger abortions? Because that's what would happen if legal abortions were outlawed.
Foetuses or fetus is a buzz word for a unborn living human being. That word is designed to abolish the guilt of having murdered a human being. Life begins at Conception. You have fallen into the deception trap.
It is believed that substances taken from the foetuses are presently in about 13 to 14 vaccination. Doctors won't tell you that unless you ask. In simple language 'abortion is murder.' The body parts and the blood of an aborted fetus ends up in the city's garbage dump.
Change your opinion and inform others.
"Life Begins at Conception"
That is the core of the fundamental issue behind the ongoing disagreement. Scientifically, morally, there is no single correct answer as to when life begins. It all depends on the criteria you choose. Conception and birth are two clear milestones along the path, and it depends on your criteria on where along the path is the right point. Living hope believe he/she has the single right definition, and won't accept that other definitions (even though they are the legal definitions) could be right.
When there is such wide disagreement, we do what most civil societies do, we don't accept either extreme, we find a point somewhere in the middle that covers the majority of criteria. And by definition, that means there will be lots of folks who think they are right who will be unhappy with it. And they are so convinced that they are morally right, they can't understand how a rational person can think otherwise.
And they refuse to accept the common/legal definitions of words like fetus and murder. Despite your objections Living hope, fetus does have a legal definition. You can call it a buzz word, but that IS the definition. And according to the law, abortion is NOT murder. I know you would like to change the laws, and you certainly are entitled to advocate for that, but until the law is changed, IMHO it is rather disingenuous to suggest a definition that contradicts the law.
Actually freedom of action for a mother of a fetus is not limited by the asserted freedom of that fetus: the right to life is not the right to extract life from another. Unless we posit a special category for the rights of beings dependent upon the existence of a another particular individual there is no argument for restricting the pregnant woman's rights against the claims of the fetus. What supports that assumption besides sentiment? Perhaps one may say it's the obligation of the strong to favor the rights of the weak. But the rebuttal is that there is no such obligation unless we have conveniently invented it for this particular purpose.
One is free to take lethal action in the case of self defense for example and the opponents rights give way to the attacked. If the context not of attack but of hospitality is considered, we all accept that hospitality is an option which can be morally exercised -or not- at any time. Can we really support the claim that ( as was attempted 35 years ago in the exhausting – if not exhaustive- abortion debates done im journals of moral philosophy) everyone has a universal right against being unjustly killed even the fetus? This would preclude us from arguing that the one-too-many-in-the-life-boat context justifies throwing an unlucky lottery loser overboard, a standard lesson in practical reasoning at law schools. It might be better to weaken the claim to an assertion about the everyone having a universal claim to be spared unjust killing.
It might be more honest and more clear to just posit that we want abortion to be done ( in the early term) only after the non-fetal individuals involved think out their interests. Its true they might claim to have done so whether or not it's the case. So leaving it to their conscience is just as good a policy.
no one ,no presidebnts,before him or after him can fix current economic mess.the economy develops like building a skyscrapers,whic his built quickly but collapse in just few seconds.you are too naive,we should give him more 4 years because only he knows the situation we are in ,America is in.the jouney is hard,but we can work together to go through it . he never think its easy when he took the office,only you people dont understand the situation.

Sorry, I hate to disappoint you, but this is just normal in many European countries, and it has been for quite some time. So defining the US as "foremost" in those things, it's just not true. If anything, the US are disappointingly slow in these developments.
Otherwise, your comparing Obama to Assad makes me wonder whether I really needed to reply at all... cui prodest?
The fetus and the zygote are just that...not the rabid rights 'child'...'baby' scare tactics used to promote emotional reactions from the scientific ignoramuses!
In fact, the cells are parasitic! They feed off the HOST! It is for the women to choose not the mostly white male patriarchal legislators who can not nurture or carry a fetus !
'Abortion as murder' is rabid righty BS!
Let's see where the economy goes over the next three months. It's contracting, and Bernanke is going to have another QE. People working is at a 30 year low.
I foresee problems for Obama. Made the mistake of voting for him once. Not again.
The President didn't "garble" that you didn't build a road or bridge, the Republicans and the media did including the Economist. If you can't get simple facts straight, you are a waste of space.

I did'nt know Anna Paquin was returning for this one. . .I hope this time around Rogue will have all her cool superpowers and not just the absorbing one.
We've had two minor updates from co-stars regarding Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past. One from Singer's original X-Men trilogy while the other was recently introduced into the franchise via Matthew Vaughn's 2011 prequel X-Men: First Class.
After recently speaking to Halle Berry, Shadow and Act revealed the Oscar-winning actress was pretty sure she was reuniting with Singer and returning to the role of Storm.
"She did confirm to me that she would be returning in the role. Most likely. Practically 90% sure. And she nodded a lot too. I can't say, and neither could she say that it's definitely a done deal, and that the contracts have all been signed, with all the "i"s dotted and the "t"s crossed. A few details that are still being negotiated which she couldn't get into. But since she did tell me that the film starts shooting in April, it's highly unlikely that talks are going to suddenly and horribly fall apart at this point, and the producers have to scramble to find a replacement at the very last minute."
Jennifer Lawrence also updated E Online! this week by saying the plan to begin shooting X-Men: Days of Future Past is still set for May even though she hasn't had a chance to read the script. That and she won't have to deal with so much body paint this time around...
"I'm so excited because I'm going to wear a body suit. It will be from neck down so it will cut out time and the blisters." The body paint caused her to have skin irritations and a doctor even had to be called to the set.
Regarding the production start, she reveals; "May-ish. I haven't read the script yet. I haven't had 30 minutes. They literally gave me the script and I was like, 'I can't read this until Monday.'"
If Berry signs on board, she will star alongside Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, James McAvoy, Jennifer Lawrence, Michael Fassbender, Nicholas Hoult, Anna Paquin, Ellen Page, Shawn Ashmore and Peter Dinklage. Bryan Singer is returning to the directing duties, based on a screenplay by Simon Kinberg.
X-Men: Days of Future Past is set for July 18, 2014.
I did'nt know Anna Paquin was returning for this one. . .I hope this time around Rogue will have all her cool superpowers and not just the absorbing one.
I like the way this is shaping up... sorta. I really liked the vibe/feel of 1st class, but don't know how well it will mesh with all of the worlds colliding. This sounds to be promising, and we will see how it all turns out.
What other powers does Rogue have? I thought she just absorbed and used others' powers.
In the comics and that cartoon series, she had completely absorbed and Killed Ms. Marvel therefore permanently jacking her powers of super strength and flight. She was pretty powerful and a key warrior when it came to fukking shit up...... U know what, you wanna know a lil secret?? I'm so drunk rt now....
I'm stoked for this. Sounds AWESOME! If Singer can pull off another 'X2', this movie is going to rule...
Yeah I'm actually trying to put my prejudices aside and I'm sort of looking forward to this. It does sound pretty cool
Unless Berry's role is brief & involves Storm getting smashed by a Sentinel, leave her out. She hogs screen time & brings very little to the movies.
This movie may have to be 3 &1/2 hours to do the scope justice. I'm ok with that as long as it's as good as First Class.
I think of it this way, every X-men movie had the potential to be The Avengers. You have different heroes with different powers and abilities working together with rough patches. Now, they are playing catch up. They want to give The Avengers a run for their money and they might just get there because now the characters are established, there is no introduction/origin period. We can just start in on the story and these characters and if every one gets their due like their promising, it should be great. There are about as many oscars nominees/winners in both franchises so bad acting shouldn't be a problem...it's up to the material
Yeah, kswizzle, but the big problem that I see here is that Singer is at the helm again.

The year in action sports
We are about to turn the page on the year that was 2012 in action sports, but first we decided to take a look back at the biggest action-sports stories of the year. Starting in January 2012, the year got off to a rocky start following the death of female freeskier Sarah Burke. Eventually we rebounded, made it through a few X Games (and even a hurricane) and are about to enter into a huge year for action sports and the X Games. For those of you along for the ride, here's a quick look back at the year in action sports.
