Posted by NurseEmily on Aug 30, 2012
My husband has been taking these for about 2 months and lost 12 pounds. He has NOT been exercising or dieting. I first saw these on dr. Oz for blood pressure and then another episode on wt loss. He started with one daily and didn't notice much. Now he takes 2-3 day and i notice he is no longer snacking at night. I have had several patients try this as well with varied success. I think it just depends on your lifestyle. If you are feeding your body fast food(non organic toxic crap) and getting 5 hrs of sleep its probably not gonna help much..

A Pediatrician is a specialized type of Doctor. Also known as: Primary Care Pediatrician, Adolescent Physician, Child Physician, Infant Care Physician, Infant Care Pediatrician, General Pediatrician, Paediatrician.
Derived from the Greek words pais, meaning child, and iatros, which means doctor or healer, a pediatrician is a medical professional who specializes in providing medical care to children. Although there are surviving manuscripts devoted to pediatrics from earlier times, it was not until the middle of the 19th century that it was recognized and developed as a new medical specialty. Known for his many contributions to the field, Abraham Jacobi is considered as the father of pediatrics. He was born in Germany where he received his medical training, but later went to the United States to practice. It was there that he opened the first children's clinic in New York.
Providing physical, mental and emotional care for their patients, pediatricians are concerned with the health of infants, children and teenagers. They perform diagnostic tests to obtain information of the patient's medical condition and administer treatments, therapies, medications and vaccinations to treat illness, disorders or injuries. They also treat children who are suffering from minor injuries, acute and chronic health problems, and physiological and psychological growth and developmental concerns.
Pediatricians counsel and guide children and their parents or guardians concerning diet, hygiene and disease prevention. The field of pediatrics is a collaborative specialty - primary care pediatricians may refer patients to a medical specialist if they manifest symptoms of a serious medical condition, in order to efficiently address the issue. Pediatrics is a very broad field, encompassing general practice to children's oncology, hence the need for collaborative effort among medical professionals.
Pediatricians can work in a number of environments, such as hospitals, private practice offices, health maintenance organizations, community health centers, public health clinics, schools, or the military and government. They are less likely to enter solo practice and more likely to work as salaried employees of group medical practices.
In a typical setting, pediatricians enjoy a pleasant working environment as they are generally assigned to offices and examination rooms most amenable to children. Offices and rooms are equipped with children's books, toys and activities to occupy children during waiting periods and distract them when undergoing painful procedures. Working with children has its drawbacks, however. They can be unruly patients, often restless and sometimes hysterical and frightened by doctors and medical procedures. The utmost patience must be exercised when dealing with children, which is where pediatrics training is invaluable.
The training for a pediatrician takes approximately 11 years after completing high school, depending on the university and jurisdiction and the degree of specialization required, as they vary considerably across the world.
Typically, after high school, students will need four years of undergraduate courses in a college or university, majoring in biology or another science-related major. The course major need not necessarily be science-related, so long as the pre-med course requirements such as calculus, organic chemistry, biochemistry, biology, chemistry and physics are completed. There is also a medical college admission test to pass along with a certain level of school grades to be attained in order to qualify and get accepted by a medical school.
Four more years will be required working towards a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) or Doctor of Osteopathy (D.O.) degree. However, a few schools offer combined undergraduate and medical school programs that last six rather than the customary eight years. The first two years of medical school mainly consist of classroom and laboratory learning, while the last two years involve first-hand clinical experience under the supervision and guidance of licensed professionals. After medical school, the next step would be to complete a one-year pediatric internship, which includes hands-on training and experience in baby care.
After a successful internship, students are required to take a two-year residency program to obtain further knowledge and experience in the field. Once this phase is completed, they are now ready to take the general pediatrics certification program which is necessary for obtaining a license. After getting board certified, they can commence their work as a licensed pediatrician.
Most pediatricians at this stage choose to continue their education in pediatric sub-specialties such as adolescent medicine, developmental disorders, gastroenterology, infectious disease, nephrology, oncology, cardiology, endocrinology, etc.

Becoming a pediatrician typically takes at least 11 years of training and education.
An outline of educational requirements, our personal recommendations, and personal characteristics required to become a pediatrician.
Pediatricians work in pediatric offices, hospitals and specialty centers. Advanced careers are available in surgery, allergy, oncology and other areas related to the health and well-being of children.
Becoming a physician offers stability, fulfillment and challenges, and nothing exemplifies this more than the pediatrician. Pediatricians have the unique opportunity to call kids their only patients, and for many of them, it's hard to imagine a career more rewarding than one that makes a child feel better.
Ever wonder what your pediatrician does all day? Doesn't he or she just spend 8 hours a day at the office and then go home? If you have ever wondered about those things, I am going to give you a peek into what my typical work day looks like.
Pediatricians are a specific group of physicians that work with children and minors rather than adults. The salary for a pediatrician will be dependent on the type of additional care they provide the patient, including hospital care or medical treatment as the child gets older.
It is almost easier to ask what a Pediatrician doesn't do, as according to the AAP, 'pediatrics is a highly flexible specialty offering an extraordinary number of career options.'
Pediatrics is the branch of medicine dealing with the health and medical care of infants, children, and adolescents from birth up to the age of 18.

I am silent, my screams rest
In the back of my throat
My heart beats viciously beneath my breast
I struggle to hold to a sinking boat
My lungs breathe the sea
Yet somehow, I still am alive
Currents, waves roll about around me
I am still, though I futilely strive
You yell and reach for my hand
But I am so far away
Through tempests, will you stand
And help me find my way?

Fabulous foursome attacks Harbor Shores for openerPublished 9:33pm Tuesday, August 10, 2010
By SCOTT NOVAK
Niles Daily Star
BENTON HARBOR — Four legends of the game, playing for more than $1 million in a skins game brought out more than 3,500 fans Tuesday at the Golf Club of Harbor Shores.
The grand opening of the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course at Harbor Shores was a sellout and the fans got exactly what they came to see.
Nicklaus, along with legends Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Johnny Miller traded stories, barbs and golf shots to raise money for the Boys & Girls Club of Benton Harbor and The First Tee program.
Those charities were announced Tuesday morning during opening ceremonies as the benefactors of the skins game purse provided by Whirlpool.
Before the foursome hit the links to test out the new Nicklaus course, they held a golf clinic in front of a trio of stands and fans that lined both sides of the driving range area.
Miller, a golf analyst for NBC Sports, did much of the talking during the clinic, getting his fellow golfers to provide tips to improve one's game.
While Watson and Nicklaus told a few stories and cracked a few jokes, most of the good one-liners came from Palmer to the delight of the crowd.
Once on the golf course things got a bit more serious and the foursome teamed up in pairs for six holes each so that everyone got a chance to play with each other.
Watson was the big winner on the day as he won $200,000 with Miller; $300,000 with Nicklaus and finished up the day with $156,250 with Palmer.
Perhaps the best moment of the day came when Nicklaus stroked a 32-yard putt on the 10th green to prove a point to Miller.
The three-tiered green found Miller at the bottom of it getting ready to chip on closer to the hole.
Nicklaus in an effort to "save the green" showed him how to putt the ball.
In the end it was all good fun and a way to help christen the new course, which is hoping to help Benton Harbor turn around its economic fortunes.
Next up for the Golf Club at Harbor Shores will be the 2012 and 2014 Sr. PGA Championships.

RE: Souvenir Questions
Hello. This is a general travel forum. You aren't actually in touch with anyone from the town unless someone who lives there and is a VT member happens to see your post. That may happen and would be wonderful.
In the meantime, at the top of your page there is a Search window. Type Volendam into the window and the next window is set to a default of Destinations. This is a Destination Search for Volendam so click on Go.
When you get to your choices, pick the Volendam you want (there may only be one), then you will go to a Virtual Tourist (VT) general travel page. I suspect you will find what you want by checking Tips on Shopping. If there is a Shopping tab, click it. If not scroll down to Shopping Tips and click on those. Hopefully, someone will have entered a Travel Tip on the shop you are trying to find.
Good luck.

Myddleton Road in Bowes Park is one of the last of a dying breed of London high streets: a hardware store sells handy items, there's a beautiful public garden… but quaint it ain't. The clothiers have dusty windows, and the shops are too dilapidated even for those craving retro chic. It's also too far from trendy areas to invite artistic re-generation.
It's a surprise then, that in an area where the signs of gentrification have yet to manifest, a young couple have taken over a fading Irish pub and transformed it into The Step. It's now a light and spacious café and wine bar, full of delightful art deco touches.
The menu is unambitious – they cook the dishes in facilities nearby – but is admirably particular about local food sourcing. Organic bread and cakes come from local sources including Celtic Bakers in Wood Green, charcuterie and meat are all British, and the Meantime lager on tap is brewed in Greenwich.
Our lentil and mushroom stew was generous if slightly underseasoned. The rest of the menu is a mix of soups and tarts, cheese and charcuterie boards, 'light-ish' bites of Suffolk chorizo and even afternoon tea (bookable in advance). The selection of cakes on the day was limited – 'awaiting delivery' – but the two types of carrot cake we tried were delicious.
There is a separate kids' menu with dinosaur-shaped sarnies and spuds in paper cones – questionable tactics some may say; or wise, as there's a nursery just down the road.
There are events planned in the evenings, such as vintage crafts workshops and live music.

If you always thought the egg-stealing pigs in Rovio's incredibly popular Angry Birds series got a bad wrap, don't worry, you're not bacon up the wrong tree. Come September 27, Rovio invites you to go hog wild in "Bad Piggies," an Angry Birds spinoff that "turns the franchise on its head" and lets you play as one of the pigs. The title will feature brand new gameplay, and Rovio promises there isn't a slingshot in sight.
"There's a lot of empathy towards the lovable enemies from the Angry Birds games, and we've been constantly asked: what about the pigs' side of the story?," said Mikael Hed, CEO of Rovio . "Bad Piggies gives you the chance to play as the second-most-loved characters in the Angry Birds universe, and explore this rich world through their green eyes."
Apple iOS, Mac, and Google Android users will be the first to unlock their inner swine, though Rovio says it plans to launch versions for Windows Phone, Windows 8, and PC shortly after the September 27 launch. Exactly when, however, is not yet known.

Update: 9:20 p.m. Wednesday:
From the Associated Press --
A divided state Senate late Wednesday passed an overhaul of Alaska's oil tax structure, amid fears it will blow a hole in the state budget and give too much to oil companies with no guarantees.
"This may not work," Sen. Gary Stevens, R-Kodiak, said of the bill. "I hope it does, but it may not work."
Supporters say SB21 will make Alaska more competitive for additional investment dollars and should lead to new oil production. Alaska relies heavily on oil revenues to run, and production has been on a downward trend since the late 1980s. Higher prices in recent years have helped to mask the impact of the decline.
The bill passed 11-9, after hours of start-and-stop debate, with minority Sens. Johnny Ellis, Berta Gardner, Bill Wielechowski, Hollis French and Lyman Hoffman and majority Sens. Donny Olson, Dennis Egan, Bert Stedman and Stevens voting against it. Reconsideration was served, meaning the bill could be voted on again before going to the House.
Update: 5 p.m. Wednesday:
From Richard Mauer in Juneau --
The Senate got through seven amendments to the oil-tax bill in a marathon floor session Wednesday afternoon. One, designed to pull in reluctant Republicans, narrowly passed; one to create a sunset clause narrowly failed; and the rest, all proposed to Democrats to insert portions of the current tax law into the new bill, lost be large margins.
Senate President Charlie Huggins called a recess in the proceedings at 4 p.m. to allow Senators to grab a bite to eat and for at least one committee to clean up business. It was to resume about 5:15 with more amendments and a possible final vote on the bill.
The winning amendment, presented by Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, eliminated an even steeper reduction in oil taxes by canceling a decline in the tax rate from 35 percent to 33 percent in three years.
Micciche's presentation of the bill, begun before lunch, was interrupted when Democrat Hollis French, an attorney, noticed a drafting error. Huggins ordered a break for lunch. When senators returned after lunch, Micciche had a new version with the problem fixed.
The amendment passed 11-9, a possible foreshadowing of the final vote on the bill, so far set for late Wednesday. Two Republicans, Gary Stevens of Kodiak and Bert Stedman of Sitka, voted with the seven Senate Democrats against the amendment.
Stevens asked the Senate to approve a sunset clause, with the bill expiring Jan. 1, 2017, if the Legislature finds that oil companies have not taken advantage of reduced taxes by producing more oil in Alaska. The amendment failed, 9-11, with the same blocs as Micciche's amendment.
The other five amendments failed by much larger margins, with not even all Democrats supporting them. Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage, tried to bring back a progressive tax where the rate rises as oil prices climb. It failed, 16-4, with the four Democrats from Anchorage being the only supporters: French, Bill Wielechowski, Berta Gardner and Johnny Ellis.
French then tried again with a bill that would impose the progressive tax only on the "legacy fields" of Prudhoe Bay, Kuparuk and Alpine. It failed 15-5, gaining the vote of one more Democrat, Lyman Hoffman of Bethel.
Wielechowski offered another progressive tax bill, this one applying to the entire North Slope but cutting the tax from the current rate. It lost with the same vote as the previous amendment, 5-15.
Two other Democratic amendments, designed to reduce the affect on the state treasury, also failed by similar margins.
This is a developing story. Check back for updates.
Original story:
From Richard Mauer in Juneau --
The oil-tax bill continued its fitful journey in the Alaska Senate on Wednesday morning in an on-again, off-again session that finally got hung up on a technicality: The bill's first amendment apparently failed to match up with another section of state law.
After gaveling the session to order around 11 a.m., Senate President Charlie Huggins called a recess until 1:30 p.m. for the issue to be resolved.
Senate Bill 21, introduced by Gov. Sean Parnell, cuts about a billion dollars a year from oil taxes in an effort to attract more industry investment. Amendment 1, offered by Sen. Peter Micciche, R-Soldotna, would restore a couple hundred million, more or less, from the version of the bill passed by the Senate Finance Committee.
Just as on the first day of the bill's appearance on the floor Tuesday, when the Senate finally adopted the Finance Committee version, the Wednesday session was frequently interrupted by calls of "at ease" by Huggins for one issue or another. Micciche's introduction of the amendment required two at-ease calls before he finally made it official.
"Sen. Micciche?" intoned Huggins after the second at-ease.
"Just four words, Mr. President," he said. "I move Amendment Number One."
His challenged counting aside, the amendment had the names of 10 senators, half the body, and will play a role in attempts to win the support of several reluctant Republican senators, including Click Bishop of Fairbanks and Mike Dunleavy of Wasilla. It might also be a sign from the Senate to the House, which will get the bill if it passes the Senate, about the location of its "bright line" should the House be in the mood to give more money back to the oil industry. If the House changes the bill, it would have to go back to the Senate for reconciliation, and the amendment appeared to indicate the majority's bottom line.
Micciche said that without the amendment, the state would be giving too much back to industry. Speaking in support of his amendment, he said his target was to put Alaska's total "take" fractionally below the global average among petroleum producers and above the average of the 38 member nations of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.
While another goal of Senate Bill 21 was to eliminate what he called "punitive progressivity" in the current tax law, under which the tax rate rises as prices rise, the amendment also introduces an element of a progressive tax, though slight, he said.
But Sen. Hollis French, D-Anchorage, said from the floor that he noticed the amendment failed to consider how it affected another aspect of tax law involving the way operating losses are carried forward. Another "at ease" followed as senators rushed to consult with aides and administration officials. A short time later, Huggins called a halt to proceedings.

It's hard to imagine that there are any places Michael Palin hasn't
visited yet, but this has all the interest of any of his previous travel
This time the intrepid adventurer sets out to tackle the Sahara desert, and meets many interesting people along the way. The scenes are bright and full of life, and Michael Palin is as enthusiastic as ever before, and his inimitable humour and informative commentary is simply irresistable.
This time Palin encounters people in countries such as Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, (where he explains that he was once crucified - a referance to a filming location from "The Life of Brian") and Mauritania. He even witnesses a part of the Paris - Dakha rally.
The mixture of cultures is incredible to see, with considerable educational value, and some are almost entirely isolated from the outside world. Others follow slightly more western ways, but each is beautifully unique, and a pleasure to see.
Personally, I am eagerly anticipating a new journey for the brilliant Michael Palin. Outstanding entertainment.

here does das moose (i think thats the name) post here, i seen somthing he wrote about chum sut on the internet. Im thinking he could give me some info.
5/31/2006 9:09am, #4--
Though they are the dreaded _ing _un, they can apparently fight, and with both the face punching and the grapple. The head honcho/sifu/dude is a big player in the Irish MMA scene. Bullshido member Das Moose trains there, I've PMed him to answer any questions you might have. Web site is http://www.chum-sut.fsnet.co.uk/, but not at the moment hugely informative.
If the question is 'Can these people teach me to fight?' the answer is yes.

The location was perfect; the freedoms trail was literally right across the street & there's a nice park that takes 5 minutes to get to. Staff was very friendly, shout out to Pedro the valet, dude told me all the places to check out while I was there and they were all great suggestions.
The room was pretty small and the elevators scared my girlfriend (2 of the 4 made her paranoid because they were loud and a little shaky). Unless you're a frequent guest or part of some rewards program you have to pay for wi-fi which is pretty lame. No vending machines which seems to be because they want you to take from the mini bar where a snickers bar was around 10 dollars. Luckily there are 2 7-11's that's take 30 seconds to walk to right next to the hotel.
Great location because it's across the street from my corp office. Was clean. As a general rule, I usually enjoy this hotel, stay here often.
1. They couldn't find my reservation when I checked in. I then said that I booked on Kayak.com. They kept looking so I had to find the reservation online and, turns out, the reservation was made through Booking.com. Only then could they find my reservation. Desk clerk seemed like he was on Prozac. Also, I booked a Standard room and I'm pretty sure I got a Petite room because it was about the size of my walk-in closet at home.
The staff was very nice.
Room was dirty, event in ball room was so loud we couldnt sleep until after midnight.
The staff were very friendly and accommodating. My room was clean an comfortable. The breakfast buffet was great. Overall it was the perfect choice hotel for my one night in Boston. It was super easy to get a taxi and get to the airport from the hotel. I will definitely stay there again if I can get the same low rate as I did this time.
If I had to say something, the TV Remote was slightly confusing and there was a long delay from pushing buttons to when the TV responded. My view was of a roof top but it was snowing and raining so I preferred to leave the drapes closed anyway.
Seamus Murphy is a gentleman, most accomodating and gave us an impromptu tour that was wonderful. He is one of your finest assets.
Great place. More affordable on more calendar days would be great. We'd be back more often if that were the case.
Location and the staff were excellent. The hotel was also beautiful!
Location right in middle of Boston in safe area
My room was small , which is fine, but the bathroom was miniscule. Dont' stay in Room 832 unless it costs less than $100 per night.
The Omni Parker Hotel had the ambience of what a New Yorker would expect from a five-star hotel.
Since my daughter and I drove to Boston from New York, the fact that I could not retrieve my car at whim was a little bothersome but it made us walk the city and absorb the rich culture of Boston.
We were lucky enogh to be upgraded to a suite and the hotel is beautiful and luxurious with a great service staff.
The only negative is that the bathroom was extremely small for a suite.
Location very good for evrything. Staff abd service also very good
Size of standard room very small especially considering price
central location
An excellent location. The valet parking was a big plus.
The electronic key system they use for the lifts and the rooms was a total nightmare. The keys seldom worked and has a result, one was always delayed in using the lifts and getting into your room. As I wasn't alone in having problems, taking a lift was a circus.
The location was amazing and the hotel itself was nice.
The service was not as friendly as I would have expected but it was very efficient. Also, the construction outside was an issue with dust and debris blowing into the room when I had the window open. I would have liked to have a fridge to keep water cold but there was no provision for this. No major issues though.

I like these ads. They project the image of a company that is genuinely focused on its products, not just its stock price. (No, the two are not necessarily connected.) It's a higher level of focus than we tend to attribute to recent corporate America. My one hesitation is the phrase "not like yours." It works well in the search for the small part but could be offensive to some in the scene with the inventor of the USB.
To be sure, even male employees are swooning over the USB inventor.
I think they're dreadful. The tiny chip commercial is disingenuous and USB was actually developed by a consortium of companies. Intel's CPU branding has been a confusing mess over the past five years and I know consumers who have been ripped off because brands like Celeron actually cover multiple generations of products.
It was easier to distinguish when they had numeric identifiers (386, 486) or the generation in the name (Pentium II, Pentium III); but now it's just a bunch of generic names and obfuscation. Additional marketing gimmicks such as Intel Viiv muddy the picture even further.
Yet Intel badly needs to trick the lay consumer into valuing their brand in order to survive. In reality, for most consumers, their products add very little value over their competitors that would justify a higher price. If this fact becomes common knowledge they will once again be in trouble in the consumer PC market.
I'm struggling to understand Intel's goal with this campaign. Is it to endear the consumer to Intel? If so, the use of actors "standing in" for real people such as the inventor of USB loses my endearment. Imagine if Southwest Airlines had used an actor to play Herb Kelliher. If you can't use real people, I think the consumer cares about and trusts you a lot less.
Perhaps their goal is to make me believe that Intel has a "lighter side". Do I want the company making microchips to have a lighter side? Am I more likely to purchase my next laptop based on the microchip maker's sense of humor? No, and neither is anyone else.
Or maybe Intel wants to raise brand awareness. Ok. I remember a few years ago when Nortel paid for a Superbowl commercial and everyone at my house said, "HUH?" in near unison. Why does Intel, who makes nothing a retail consumer can purchase, care if I, the retail consumer, can identify them? It's a bit like Boeing wanting to engage the consumer with the thought that I'll fly one airline over another because I can ride on a Boeing-made plane. Not likely, if that ticket costs more than one on a non-Boeing plane. Consumers don't care!
If put in charge of Intel's branding, Goal #1 is to help the consumer see that their irritation with the PC or Laptop not working is due to the operating system, not the hardware. Some way of connecting with the universal truth that all PC owners get aggravated at Windows from time to time.
Something like, "at least with Intel inside you only have to worry about Windows crashing". Or perhaps, "Imagine how frustrating it could be to wait on hold for both Windows support AND your microchip companies' support techs. With Intel inside, you only need to hold for one tech."
I think this is a brilliant move by Intel. Sponsors of Tomorrow positions the company as the true innovation leader that very few people know about. Since the chip is buried deep inside the PC, you need to tell people that you're much more than just an ingredient brand. In fact, if you know anything about Intel, you know that they're at the heart of nearly every technological breakthrough in the last four decades. The ads seem to be showing a fun, human and quirky side of Intel that extends them beyond consumers' narrow focus on the processor. The website is also beautiful, fun, and interactive.
Lame? Silly? Desperate?
The old "Intel Inside" campaign(s) really built brand recognition, and that line still works -- my new ASUS eee has an "Intel Atom Inside" sticker, and this was definitely a factor in my decision to buy it.
But this new campaign? Who's the target? What's the takeaway message? Why would it encourage me to buy any Intel-based product?
I suppose if I had any Intel stock, the new ads might encourage me to sell it, before the company does a GM.
I love them.
But, I am an nerd with 2 engineering degrees.
Outside of the slashdot crowd who is going to enjoy these?
How many people even know what USB is?
Disturbing, very disturbing.
First, this is obviously an attempt by Intel to paint itself as a friendly company right before the EU smacks them down for antitrust violations and levying a huge fine. Thats on the heels of defeats in Japan and Korea.
Secondly, why didn't they use the real inventor of USB and use real employees in their ads? Are they embarrassed of their employees?
Intel has totally overhauled itself, and is now campaiging with fresh- techie ads for Web 2.0 era.
Intel has a ubiquitous presence in flat world and plays a dominant role in convergence of technologies.
"Sponsors Of tomorrow" is a relevant attempt.
Actually they did use Ajay Bhatt, co-inventor of the USB in their commercial. If you go to the pressroom from Intel's homepage you can watch both the video from this morning's NASDAQ Stock Market Opening Bell and the commercial. I can't wait to see it on my TV at home.
LAME. For a tech company to celebrate it's "techness" doesn't change the paradigm, it's the same old story. I am neither moved nor emotionally connected to this advertising. It's geek pride a la 1993. Oh well, hope they didn't spend too much.
I love the ads--nice to see a company like Intel has a sense of humor. I'm pretty sure that's Ajay Bhatt in the rock star commercial (I met him once but it was a couple of years ago). I understand they do use pics of Intel employees in their IT performance report that they publish every year. And, the processor brand is definitely a factor when I purchase a laptop--my Core 2 Duo was a big step up from my previous laptop.
(even though Ajay Bhatt is most likely an American citizen) In a time when so many American Jobs are off-shored to india and so many indians are brought into the US to work on H1B visas, I think that this Ad furthers the fallacy that we need the indians to be innovative, competitive, and whatever else they (indians and corporate CEO's) claim - when in fact that is not true - the only reason for off-shoring is the cost savings and how much companies can increase their profits, while the CEO's compensations increase - as noted in the following Business Week article: Link: http://www.businessweek.com/print/magazine/content/07_25/b4039001.htm?chan=gl - Excerpt: "In contrast, compensation of senior executives is typically tied to profits, which have soared alongside offshoring.".
Who was the other Co-inventor of the USB - why was he or she not featured in the Ad ?
