It's becoming easier than ever to research the genetic roots of different ethnic groups and these findings can be framed differently to either emphasise that groups are similar or different. For example, a BBC headline from 2000 stated "Jews and Arabs are 'genetic brothers'" while a 2013 Medical Daily headline claimed "Genes of most Ashkenazi Jews trace back to indigenous Europe, not Middle East". As political leaders have started citing this kind of evidence to promote their particular agenda, ........ Read more »

We usually think of laughter as a sound of joy and mirth, but in certain contexts, such as when it accompanies an insult, it takes on a negative meaning, signaling contempt and derision, especially in a group situation. Most of us probably know from experience that this makes insults sting more, now a study in Social Neuroscience has shown the neural correlates of this effect. Within a fraction of a second, the presence of a laughing crowd changes the way that the brain processes an insult.Marte........ Read more »

Is spending time looking back on our lives good for our mental health? A lot of research suggests it is, but these studies have been cross-sectional, making it hard to form a clear causal story – for example, perhaps being happier makes it more likely that people will reminisce. On the other hand, there are therapeutic trials that show purposeful reminiscence can bring about clinically meaningful decreases in depression. Now, a longitudinal investigation in Applied Cognitive Psychology provide........ Read more »

They say you should never mix business and pleasure but in reality many of us find that we become friends with the people who we work with. No wonder, when you consider the hours spent together and the deep bonds formed through collaboration and sharing the highs and lows of the job.A new study in Personnel Psychology is among the first to examine the effects on job performance of having more "multiplex relationships" – colleagues you work with directly who are also your friends outside of wor........

It is a sad fact that we can never ask of the hundreds of thousands of people around the world who take their own lives each year – why did you do it? Instead, psychologists talk to people who attempted, but failed, to kill themselves, and they also look into the minds' of suicide victims through the notes that they leave. But in fact only a minority of suicide victims leave notes, and the validity of studying these notes depends in part of the assumption that victims who leave notes are the s........ Read more »

Seeing an expert abacus user in action is a sight to behold. Their hands are a blur as they perform arithmetic operations far quicker than anyone using an electronic calculator. The mental abacus technique is even more impressive – it works just the same as a real abacus, except that you visualise moving the beads in your mind's eye (check out this video of people using mental abacus to perform amazing feats of arithmetic).Surprisingly, there is little research on the benefits of teaching the ........

The new findings help explain why many people can be coerced so easilyBy guest blogger Mo CostandiIn a series of classic experiments performed in the early 1960s, Stanley Milgram created a situation in which a scientist instructed volunteers to deliver what they believed to be painful and deadly electric shocks to other people. Although this now infamous research has been criticised at length, people continue to be unsettled by its main finding – that most of the participants were quite willin........ Read more »

An in-depth interview with a formerly violent right-wing extremist has provided psychologists with rare insights into the processes of disengagement and deradicalisation. John Horgan at Georgia State University and his colleagues interviewed "Sarah" face-to-face for several hours, and also followed up with telephone calls. Their account is published in Behavioral Sciences of Terrorism and Political Aggression. The woman had previously been a member of various Neo-Nazi right-wing groups and was u........ Read more »

From Van Gogh to Poe, history is littered with famous cases of creative geniuses plagued by inner turmoil. But going beyond the anecdotal, are creative people really more prone to mental health difficulties?Past studies have led to conflicting results – for every one that uncovered a link, another has come along with the opposite result. In a new paper in Psychological Bulletin, a Netherlands-based team led by Matthijs Baas takes us through a tour of this earlier work and they propose a brain-........ Read more »

For hundreds of years, scientists were just one fixture in the firmament of the intellectual class, as colourful and strident in their own way as the philosophers and poets. But come the 20th Century and the public began to regard scientists with fear and awe, thanks to the advent of immense technologies such as the atomic bomb. In response, the profession consciously rebranded as anonymous public servants in white coats: dutiful, considered and above all, safe. But new research published in PLO........ Read more »

Experts have likened loneliness to a disease that changes the brain. Sadly, these changes often affect people in ways that further isolates them – for example, lonely people are more sensitive to negative facial expressions. If we're to break this cycle and provide friendship to the lonely, a starting point is to recognise that a person is feeling isolated. A new study in Journal of Research in Personality tests whether and how well we can do this.Maike Luhmann and his colleagues ask........ Read more »

It's OK: I planned this! There's a school of thought that says if you want to reach your goals, your commitment must be total. To save more money, you must never go on a splurge. To lose weight, you must never indulge. But this path is joyless and risky, say the authors of a new paper in the Journal of Consumer Psychology. If you follow the total approach, then one lapse and you fee like a failure, your motivation dips and before you know it, your goal is in tatters. Much better, they ........ Read more »

Are professionals better than the rest of us at spotting wrong-doing? The historical evidence is gloomy: one study suggested job interviewers perform no better than novices at spotting cheaters. Several reviews have concluded that police officers and detectives have less than stellar abilities to catch lies in interrogations, with some research even suggesting chance levels of performance. However recent research has begun to rehabilitate expert abilities at interview lie detection. And now a st........ Read more »

A US-based clinical psychologist has published an extraordinary essay in the journal Psychosis in which he claims to have experienced 17 bouts of mania or "mood elevation" between 1997 and 2015 without any intervening instances of depression.Mania is usually experienced alongside alternating episodes of depression, in which case it is described by psychiatrists as bipolar disorder.

Psychologists have got a pretty good picture of how we're influenced by the big emotional states. Feeling positive encourages an explorative cognitive style that is risk-tolerant and well suited to the open aspects of creativity, whereas negative emotions make us sensitive to threat and prone to vigilant, focused thinking. But what happens when our emotional states are a mix of the two – when we're in an ambivalent mood? Appropriately, research to date has been inconsistent, with some work........ Read more »

Anyone will tell you that the most successful organisations have leaders who match the company culture. A CEO fixated on getting things done should lead somewhere driven by outcomes, a "mission culture", whereas a people-focused leader suits a place focused on involvement and participation. This way everything is neat, tidy and aligned, with messages presented consistently, providing staff with reliable guides as to how to behave.

By guest blogger Melissa HogenboomA little fear can be a good thing but when it develops into a phobia, it can become debilitating. One way therapists treat fear disorders is using a technique called exposure therapy. As its name suggests, it involves gradually exposing a person to the very thing they are afraid of.The problem is that in the comfort of a therapist's office, recreating the fearful event is not always straightforward. This means patients may not be able to realistically confront w........ Read more »

Many working parents experience guilt about sending their young children off to day nursery, especially in light of research published in the 2000s that suggested that too much early childcare is associated with later behavioural problems.

UK trainee clinical psychologists favour social and cognitive approaches to mental health rather than biological To stereotype the mental health professions, psychiatrists tend to see mental health problems as being predominantly biological in nature, while clinical psychologists see them as caused more by social circumstances. This is a generalisation, of course, because individuals in each camp hold a variety of perspectives. But surveys do usually reveal average differences in perspectiv........ Read more »

One woman said she was proud of herscars – the "war wounds of life".In the UK, nearly 10,000 young women are diagnosed with breast cancer every year and the treatment for many is mastectomy – the surgical removal of one or more of their breasts.

I like to tinker and now love to bike. I would like to take all of the Dura Ace components off of a 650 carbon bike and put them on a 700 steel (actually, 27" vintage). I plan to sell the carbon frame and fork and use the money to buy a nice wheel set and carbon fork for the build. But I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. A couple questions -
1. I guess I need to let my bike shop remove the old cranks? I got as far as I could.
2. Will components on a 650 work on a 700? I assume I'll need a longer chain?
3. Anything else I should be aware of?
I can't spend over a $1000 on a nice bike yet. I've commuted on a hybrid 18 miles a day for about 300 miles this fall and had a blast. Now I'm looking to build a ligher, faster bike that actually fits me. Thanks for the help.

Greetings. I notice that most all your requests are for fantasy maps. I have something different in mind and wonder if anyone would be interested. This is a map I would like to use in a family history DVD I am making. It is for strictly personal, non-commercial use--but I would like it to look as "professional" as possible.
Subject--I am attaching a very pathetic attempt I made myself to give you the general idea. The map I would like you to make should be more complete, extending as far as London and Paris, but not necessarily a lot more detailed. We could discuss.
I am not sure about the scale except to say it is for use in a DVD and should be a clear, informative and legible as possible.
Style--As I say, it should be simple and informative. Colors to indicate countries e.g. Switzerland, and Empires e.g. Germany and Austria-Hungary. Distances in miles should be easy to see.
Quality & Size--I would like it to look as professional (basically I just mean good) as it can. WRT size, it should be optimal size to go into DVD video.
Time Constraints--Flexible
Copyright--the map is for personal, non-commercial use only.
Contact Details--I do not have the required number of posts. If you are interested I would like to discuss, Thank you.

Life took a dramatic turn for Ebondo Antoinette in 1989 just days after arriving to the U.S. from her native country of Congo.
Her daughter Mulekye Mukoko says Antoinette collapsed two days after arriving here. She was taken to Leland Hospital and then to Georgetown hospital. That's where they discovered that she had a tumor.
More than two decades later, it happened again. This time, doctors discovered two tumors. She recovered from the surgery but had challenges with mobility.
That's when the Treadsense device came into her life.
"We've designed a system where you have a TV screen and two web cameras that actually measure your movement while you're walking on the treadmill and gives you feedback so you can correct those movements because of that feedback," says University of Maryland professor John Jeka.
Twice a week, Antoinette gets on the Treadsense with the help of her physical therapist and her daughter close by.
The machine offers several displays while the patient is in motion. Balance is key in all scenarios. In one image, the goal is to keep an "x" centered.
"You use vision, you use your inner ear, something called the vestibular system and you use the sensors in your muscles that all give you information about how you're standing, and without those, it's impossible to stand up right," Jeka says.
A team at the University of Maryland kept all of this in mind and combined it with webcam technology and computer programming to create this one-of-a-kind equipment, which is being used now at the Adventist Rehabilitation Hospital of Maryland.
Jeka believes every health club will have a similar machine in 20 years.
Compared to other machines, Jeka says it will be more affordable. But most importantly, he says it's far more effective than what's out there now. As the testing continues, the UMD research team is working with an outside vendor that plans to eventually put the product on the market.
"No one with a balance problem is going to step on a bongo board to work on their balance, it's going to be way too dangerous for them to do," Jeka says.
And so far, the extra steps are adding up for patients.
"She (Antoinette) came here with a walker, and now she's using a cane," Mukoko says.

Funny how our reactions work.
I dove into a backstreet intersection on my Jamis (geared bike) the other day ... and a car came flying up the road towards me. So I grabbed the brakes and veered to go behind him. All right and proper and there was no danger. The interesting thing was that I also tried to apply back pressure on the pedals, like I would on the Europa (fixed gear). Funnily enough, it didn't work very well seeing the geared bike has a freewheel
Similarly, if I get onto a loose surface (and there's a lot of that on my commute), I immediately start trying to control my speed with my legs ... which is great on the fixed Europa and rather ineffective on the geared Jamis.
It's why it's important to practice safety moves because in a 'I need to do it NOW' situation, you always react the way you've practiced it, whether that's what you should do or not.

Alright, so about 5 or 6 years ago, I bought a evga nvidia gforce 6800 video card. It was pretty much top of the line when I got it.
Lately, i've been bugged by my single core processor and want to upgrade, but to do that, i need a new motherboard and i'm finding that many motherboards don't support agp (which is what my card is) anymore, so I think I may just upgrade to pcie.
In researching new cards, I've found cards like the gforce 8600. Not top of the line, but still seems very good.. an upgrade in most cases as compard to the older 6800 i have (despite it being slightly lower end). However, the prices for my card are still in the hundreds: eVGA e-GeForce 6800 Graphics adapter - 128 MB - DDR SDRAM
while I found the 8600 for only $35 here!: eParts and More
So whats the deal. I compared some of the specs based on this: Comparison of Nvidia graphics processing units - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
and the 8600 looks better in almost every respect. I'm no techy, but am I missing something? Any suggestions? Thanks

It has been above 60 degrees four times since I have been home.
Two days before our nation's Independence Day, California's Assembly committee on Water, Parks and Wildlife, voted to outlaw the traditional hunting of bears and bobcats with hounds.
I just returned from a camping trip and couldn't believe all the fees that I had to pay in order to camp a few days at the lake.
I have polite friends, and there are times I wonder what they are really thinking. If I ask say, a question about their fishing preference, the response will be polite and to the effect of, "I'm cool either way" or "sure, alright".
August 12, 1956 was a Sunday and like most days during the summer, I was camped with my parents at Hermit Valley in the Sierra.
I was asked the other day about using live bait.
Although Scott Speed picked up a season's best 25th place finish in last Sunday's Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway, it was a bittersweet weekend for the Manteca native as he left his home track thinking that it could have been much better.
The entire forest and water wasn't even whispering.
The art of taxidermy is probably almost as old as the human race itself. Archeologists have found ancient Indian duck decoys in caves around the Great Basin that were made from preserved duck skins stretched over a tule decoy body.
Recently, I've been learning more about fishing for kokanee in our local lakes.
There will be plenty of old fashion hard nose rubbing and grinding when the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series returns to the beautiful Northern California wine country for 24th consecutive year with the Toyota/Save Mart 350 this weekend, June 22-24 at Sonoma Raceway.
A few minutes before go-time, my cousin went to the bathroom for the last time as a ringless man.
My wife recently gave me the green light to reserve a campsite for an upcoming camping trip.
In January, summer seems like the season that never happens.
I saw an item on the nightly news about a fellow accused of trying to sell two bear cubs. He claimed he'd been attacked by the mama bear and had to kill her in self defense.

"Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after."- Henry David Thoreau
There's an old saying that "one man's junk is another man's treasure."
The Manteca Little League Red Sox took advantage of six walks to put up 12 first-inning runs and never looked back in a 21-8 win ...
Over the years I have periodically reported on historic or collectors guns that have come up for auction.
Last week, I mentioned that I was going to be fishing for bass with a childhood friend.
Life is full of regrets.
Several years ago when I made the decision to fish for multiple species, I didn't realize it was going to be so difficult.
It took a little longer than I had originally planned, but I finally was able to fish Lake Pardee last weekend.
Last weekend a friend and I went fishing at Lake Amador.
April is the month that I get most excited about when thinking about going fishing.

.:.PS3 Stamp.:. by xEternaLTwilighTxWatch
©2008-2016 xEternaLTwilighTx
>_> I still don't have one! *cries*
I love my PS3. You should totally get one.
I have a PS3 and a Xbox 360. I love my PS3 more though just because free internet lol.
I like PS3 better than 360. All PS3 is missing is cross game chat and the ability to play music in any game possible
Either way the PS3 offers better HD grafics, LAN, free online play (WHICH IT SHOULD BE ANYWAY) and internet browser (can us facebook, youtube, devient art correctly) you can add you new songs, theres PSN Plus (Free games each month). PS Move, and soon to add a direct facebook app, in game cross game voice chat (can chat with someone on a diffrent game). Either way as of this time PS3 MATCHED 360 sales in 2 years less time! right now ps3 is rated a 9/10 and the 360 8.9/10 for each system service and quality. Another thing, about halo yes its a cool and fun game, but like any seiries its gonna go too far, and gonna be put out TOO fast OR made just for the cash, like modern warfare 2.
Of sorry i didn't keep my ol' 40 GB ps3, when i bought my new slim cuz it has more memory 250GB
Of sorry i didn't keep my ol' 40 GB ps3, when i bought my new slim cuz it has more memory 250GB
I'm earning money to get mine! I hope you get one! ^^
Cool, I love my Ps3!
can i use this stamp as my groups logo? : playstation3plyers
*faves*..... but .I don't have a PS3.. *sighs* someday, just someday!
You're not a man until you have a ps3 ^^ xbox's dont count ¬¬ (wii... maybe)
I wouldn't be a man anyways since i'm a girl. >_>
I get mine tomorrow!
good job
Yay! PS3!
It's good to have some PS3 love.
Oh that looks awesome!!! Thank you very much for using it!!! ^_^

People can rant and rave about intuitive controls, stellar graphics, online play and motion sensors as much as they damn well please, but one of the most important aspects of video games to me has always been the musical score. In recent years, as games have migrated towards more cinematic pastures, the musical scores of old have turned away from the simple, repetitive tunes of yesteryear, and transformed into something more ambient. That's all well and good, but there's nothing like coming away from a game humming a catchy tune, which is why most of the games you'll find on this list are from the 16-bit era and before.
It's good to know your history kids, and even in prehistoric times, man beheld music.
10. Blades of Steel (NES) - Start Screen Theme
Not only did Blades of Steel feature its own fighting system, but it also did a hell of a job of pumping you up with this sweet theme music as your overtly generic players and teams skated onto the rink. Yes, it's kind of a pansy tune, but it also makes you fist-pump annoyingly in your opponent's face while bobbing your head before you take his Minnesota white and purple team out with your Edmonton green and yellow. A word to the wise, always pick the Canadians in a hockey game. Always.
They also tried to make a new Blades of Steel in 1999, cleverly titled Blades of Steel '99. It sucked, know why? First, it had the NHL license. Second, this song wasn't in it.
9. Super Castlevania IV (SNES) - Simon's Theme
My initial inclination for Super Castlevania IV was to go with the Forest of Monsters theme, but come on. When you think of Castlevania music, which song pops more immediately into your head? Not only is this theme supremely fitting for one of the manliest men in video games (see our Top 10 Manliest Men in Video Games list), but it's pretty creepy, and any metal cover version I've ever heard makes my face melt. It's also got that epic quality that one would expect from the Castlevania soundtrack. Still, I suppose the same could be said about any theme from this game.
That's two for Konami, I wonder if they'll show up again?
8. X-Men: Mutant Apocalypse (SNES) - Beast's Level
So, it's not exactly the kind of song I'd ever really associate with Hank McCoy (he seems like more of a Chopin fan..."The Cat Waltz"...anyone? Forget it.), but the tune has a funky ass groove and often makes me forget the ridiculously hard game that I'm currently playing. For real though, this is less X-Men and more, I don't know, Sonic the Hedgehog. Now that I think about it, I guess they are both big blue fur balls that could pretty much be cousins, so I suppose it does make sense after all. Well played, Capcom. Well played.
7. Bubble Bobble (Arcade/NES) - Main Theme
Holy. Crap. First of all, this game has slight variations in the music depending on if it's the arcade or the NES version, but damn. For a game that's almost 25 years old and that has the same music play for all of its 100+ levels, it must have done something right. Some might consider it annoyingly catchy, but I find it to be quite bubbly (see what I did there?) and relaxing. If I shut my eyes and listen to the music, it brings me to a land where dragons are cute and love to eat fruit instead of people and breath bubbles instead of fire. Then I open my eyes and realize that I am, in fact, on a plane to Tokyo.
6. Metal Gear Solid (PSX-PS3) - Main Theme
Konami is at it again, and with this entry, give us the only theme on this list that originated in the post 16-bit era. I mean come on, how could I ignore this? As much of a "good ol' days" junkie I am, everything about this music screams "play me, I'm f*cking epic". Giving the series a thematic musical through-line for the Solid Snake character, this theme is one of the most cinematic scores in the history of gaming, which obviously matches the game to which its attached, featuring hours upon hours of cutscenes. Coincidentally, not only is this yet another Konami game featuring an awesome musical theme, but another manly man (Top 10 Manliest Men in Video Games).
5. Super Mario Bros. (NES) - Main Theme
There is no one on the planet Earth that can't hum this song on the spot. That includes your grandmother, your infant, and that creepy guy that follows you home from school. This theme has inspired hundreds of people to tape themselves with awebcam playing the song on their guitars, xylophones, oboes and a variety of other instruments, and plaster the results all over the Internet. Put quite simply, it's a classic in every way, and should result in only smiles. Unless you'reBowser. Then you hate it, but still don't mind playing board games with your arch enemy on occasion.
4. Mega Man 2 (NES) - Dr. Wily Stage
This is a song that is meant to drive you to defeat all of the evil in the world, starting with Dr. Wily. Probably the most recognized Mega Man theme song, the Dr. Wily theme is a stellar example for the magic that was made back in the 8-bit glory days; orchestras and film composers weren't a necessary expenditure, instead you used the much superior (and cheaper) freelance game composer and a MIDI keyboard. As hardcore Mega Man fanatics are wont to do, they took their love for the game to the extreme and began adding lyrics to the songs and making them into break-beats. Not that I'm complaining.
3. Zombies Ate My Neighbors (SNES, Genesis) - ...All of it
Every stage in this game has great music. Every. Single. One. The musical score is like a DJ mashup of Blue Oyster Cult and a hellfire picnic in Satan's garden. The theme I've picked out here, from Dr. Tongue's Castle of Terror, is spotlighted because of its eerie resemblance to the amazingly horrifying score from Stanley Kubrick's The Shining, while changing tempos into funky, frenetic, and evil circus music. Do yourselves a favor and stay in this Halloween. Don't go see another crap Saw movie. Instead, blow on your Zombies cartridge and get some real thrills.
2. Super Mario Bros. (NES) - Underworld Theme
While the decision to place this theme above its World 1-1 brethren may open up some dispute, the Underworld Theme holds a place in my heart above any other Mario music. The reason I like it so much is its impeccable timing. Just when you have breezed through the first level to a bunch of happy-pap tunes you come to discover this vast, scary (for 8-bit times) underground world with echoes and gray-palette goombas. Alright, so it's not really that scary, but still. This music is a mere few notes and yet, the impression it stamped upon my youth and pop culture runs deep.
1. The Legend of Zelda (NES-Wii) - Overworld Theme
This is it, the pinnacle of video game music. The Overworld Theme from The Legend of Zelda series is the most iconic piece of music that has ever appeared in gaming. It's epic, it brings forth adventurous notions, and most importantly, it has sounded good for the last 20 years, whether it's 8-bit or an entire effing orchestra. To be fair, nearly every piece of the soundtrack from each Zelda is instantly memorable, but it's this central tune that ties the games and their themes together. GD it, I love you Zelda.

Oct 2015 - $28.00
Frontenac is one of the smaller state parks, built in the late 1950s. Go for the trail system, the views of Lake Pepin, the fall foliage, or recreation opportunities in surrounding cities. Sites are smaller and nearly all back-in, marginally suitable for large rigs. Restrooms and showers, though working, are badly in need of updating. Like other reviewers we had problems with the dryness of the firewood, which was exorbitantly priced at $6 for a small bundle. All sites are now reservable. The electric sites fill up on weekends. - Jammer
Jun 2014 - $28.00
We pulled in on a Friday late morning and got a lovely non-reservable site in the first loop. Site itself was large, with a fire pit and solid table. Slight slope down to the road which I could accommodate with a 3" board under each front wheel on the motorhome. Good electricity (121 volts) and solid Verizon 4G coverage, and about 15 digital TV stations detected. Campground is well patrolled and there was no trouble of any kind while we were there. Lots of kids on bikes having a great time racing around (we think of them as a floor show). Some fine hiking too along the ridge of the bluffs, finding several points of interest, finding geocaches left in the neighborhood, and attending a most interesting naturalist hike were among the available activities. Only down side - Ranger station sells wood for $6/bundle (which is expensive for the area) and, when I got it to the site, I found it was not totally dry - rather the fire struggled to stay alive and was hissing/sputtering until it really hot and the moisture was driven off. We hooked up the toad in the ranger station parking lot. They were nice about that and you have a lot more space than trying to do that in the campground. We had a great long weekend at Frontenac State Park. I'd need to recommend it to others. - AndersonFamily
Jun 2014 - $27.00
Our price was $22 per night for a non-electric site plus the $5 per day admission fee. This park is definitely not big rig friendly. The site are rather small and very tight to get into with rocks and trees on both sides. The hiking/bike trails are very nice. There aren't enough electric sites to accommodate a crowd on weekends. - SteveCampsTx

While Argentina's economy hit a low point in 2002, the country has rebounded with growth in each year since. Argentina even made a strong comeback after the 2008 global recession. Geographically situated between two regional innovation leaders, Chile and Brazil, Argentina is making an effort to capitalize on its well-educated population and prominent standing on the global stage. How does its IP fare as Argentina continues to make high-tech exports a larger part of its economy?
Much like the country's economy, Argentina has experienced chaotic activity in its IP. Patent applications hit high points in 1996, 2000, 2006, and 2009, and declined in the intervening years. But the ups and downs of patent applications should also be rationalized with the fact that they are relatively high to begin with, seeming always to hover at or near the 30th world rank for resident applications.
The strongest patent sectors in Argentina are Medical Technology and Pharmaceuticals, which combine for roughly 19% of all patent applications. This is partially due to efforts by the government to restore the economy after the crisis that occurred in 2001-2002. The country's first science and technology minister, Lino Barano was given a large budget to invest in biotechnology startups like Delta Biotech [video news report].
Protection Quality
The International Property Rights Index lists Argentina relatively low across the board, considering the country's wealth and G20 stature: it has a rank of 87 for IPRI score. The good news is that, according the the IPRI report, "After three years of consistent scores, Argentina experienced improvement in all components and almost every sub-component." This includes the most important component for our purposes, Intellectual Property Rights (IPR). In 2011, IPR was the highest in Argentina since the IPRI was started five years ago.
Optimistically, Argentina will experience long-lasting growth in the coming years. With a government that recognizes the importance of the innovation economy, IP ought to continue its improvement in quality. Perhaps then, patenting will begin to correlate upwards in activity for a sustained period for the first time in decades.

In Astrological works, the nine planets have been assigned nine different gemstones. According to the classical famous astrological work 'Jatak Parijat' we can divide the planets and their stones as follows:
||Sun (Surya) ||
|| Moon (Chandra) ||
|| Mars (Mangal) ||
|| Mercury (Budha) ||
|| Jupiter (Guru) ||
|| Venus (Shukra) ||
|| Saturn (Shani) ||
|| Rahu ||
|| Ketu ||
Another famous Indian classical work 'Phaldeepika' has also subscribed to the above view. These gem stones are called Nav-ratnas (Nine Gems). Gemology although not considers them all to be precious stones, but being related to the planets, they are of considerable remedial use.
Vedic Astrology since the ancient times has always believed in the healing powers of the gemstones. Here we are going to learn about the various precious as well as semi-precious stones, and about differentiating between auspicious and inauspicious stones as well as the planets and diseases associated with a stone and its curative powers.
We will show you which stone is suitable for you according to your lagan (ascendant) and the position of the planet associated with the stone in your Kundli (chart). We have also provided you with a chart that tells you what gemstone to wear based on your Nirayana Sun sign. We have also parted with information on the rituals believed to be necessary to purify the gemstone before wearing and the mantra associated with that gemstone. Before wearing a stone, we must know whether to wear the stone for an ill-placed planet or a well placed one?
Most of the astrologers follow the same age old principles of recommending the Gem Stones which represent the Lagna / Ascendant or more commonly known as the rising sign, the Fifth lord, the Ninth lord, some also suggest vedic Moon sign lord gemstone, and avoiding the gem stones which represent the malefic houses namely the 6th house, 8th house and the 12th house lord. This is why most of the time people do not get any positive effects.
But we at AskGanesha.com in our personalized Gem Consultancy report study the horoscope thoroughly and in this process necessary calculations is done to the deeper level of the Nakshatra called the upp nakshatra and conclude the best suited gems as per the individual horoscope. The stone must 'arouse' the qualities that a person needs to become success.
The details required for the personalized Gem Consultancy report are:-
There is particular procedure to be followed while wearing a gem stone
In the report you also get to know the procedure of how the stone is to be worn, including the right weight, the right metal and the right day on which it is to be worn. Also the procedure of how to energize would also be given.
Kindly opt our in order to know the actual Gem that is going to suit you and give you happiness in every sphere of life.

Comments about 'Writer carefully tackles question of sacred LDS undergarment'

John Pack Lambert of Michigan:
"Sadly in two states that still prevents Sikhs from serving as public school teachers."
Sikhs (and any other religion) should not be allowed to teach if they wear their religious clothing and such so that it can be viewed. It's all in the name of separation of church and state, i.e., keeping religion our of public schools.
"As far as I know garment wearing Mormons have not been excluded from teaching in the public schools on the 'no religious clothing' rule."
Perhaps the reason is is that the garment can't be viewed since it's worn underneath ordinary clothing.
"I half wish someone would try, just to expose how truly discriminatory such rules are."
Maybe someone from India who wears a red dot on their forehead for (religious purposes?) should try.

re:Madden, wrz
It isn't just what "other" private equity companies do or have done. Like, you said, sometimes there are successes, sometimes failures. Bain made profits even though the some of the companies they invested in went bankrupt. Sometimes the companies, while under Bain's management, took on excess debt and then went bankrupt. One such company was Ampad. Another was Dade Behring (although it eventually recovered after Bain divested itself). In fact, 2 of my (former) neighbors lost their jobs in the Dade deal.
Romney and his supporters tout his business experience, working at Bain, as an important qualification. It is therefore fair to examine the whole record, not just the successes. Studies on private equity firms have revealed a mixed record in terms of job creation. And private equity managers/CEOs, Romney included, enjoy a preferential tax treatment not available to others doing essentially the same work.
These are all important issues moving forward. Will Romney's Bain experience shape his economic and tax policies? If so, how, and to what extent? These are issues which will be brought up in the course of the campaign.

Re: Sharrona
The term "garment" is mentioned in the Bible, and there are a lot of Churches where the pastor or priest wear outward garments to show their outward faith. LDS garments are not for public view, only as personal reminders of the committments made in the Temple.
Re: Other posts
AS for people being denied teaching positions because of religious symbols worn, I too agree that is discriminatory. I've heard that some teachers cannot wear a cross around the neck to show their Christianity. That's wrong.

If you're looking for something better than OpenOffice.org (OO.o), you've found it with LibreOffice. It has all the OO.o goodness that you've come to love and expect with a few enhancements to boot. And, there's no fear of a malevolent corporate overlord pulling the plug on it because it's not a revenue-generating product. LibreOffice 3.3 is the beginning of a new era of freedom for cross-platform office suites with its LGPL v3 license, community-driven development, extensive language support, and it's no cost delivery model.
LibreOffice is a cross-platform (Windows, Macintosh, Linux) OO.org derivative productivity suite that includes the six original OO.org applications: Writer, Calc, Base, Impress, Calc, and Draw. The LibreOffice project has also merged code, patches, and other resources from the now discontinued Go-oo project.
The Basics
There are three ways to install LibreOffice: source, packaged installer, repository. The repository route is easier than the other two but also doesn't allow for any customization that you might want to do during a compilation. For this demonstration, repository and packaged distribution are shown.
Note: If you have OpenOffice.org installed, you should uninstall* it before installing LibreOffice.
For the packaged installer method, go to the LibreOffice Download page, select your system's architecture (x86 or x64), package type (deb or rpm), and download the two packages that will appear. The installer, as it's called, is really a gzipped tarball of rpm or deb packages. The helppack is a single package file.
Once downloaded, ungzipped, and untarred, cd into the install directory and install all of the packages listed.
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
Or, for rpm-based systems,
$ sudo rpm -i *.rpm
This installation will take several minutes. When it's finished, cd to the desktop-integration directory and install the desktop integration package so that the menu items and launchers can be added to your Applications menu.
Debian-derived distribution users can install via a LibreOffice repository by using the following method. First, add the repository.
$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:libreoffice/ppa
$ sudo apt-get update
Second, run an update to update package indexes from your /etc/apt/sources.list. Finally, install the LibreOffice packages from the repository.
$ sudo apt-get install libreoffice libreoffice-gnome language-support-en
If you use KDE instead of GNOME, use libreoffice-kde in place of the libreoffice-gnome package.
After your installation completes, find your LibreOffice suite under the Applications->Office menu. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: LibreOffice Applications in the GNOME Office Menu
Using LibreOffice
Using LibreOffice is no different than any version of OO.o that you've seen in the past two, three, or maybe more, years. The apps work the same. The icons and general features are all fairly standard fare. If you've seen OO.o or any derivative, you've seen LibreOffice. The new green color scheme is refreshing but you won't find many other surprises waiting for you.
If you'd like to see a list of LibreOffice unique fixes and features, go to the New Features and Fixes page. It's expected that future versions will diverge more significantly from its OO.o upstream parent. The addition of Go-oo's improvements will further diverge LibreOffice and distinguish it from OO.o.
Some of the significant improvements to look forward to are: faster application startup and response, better interoperability with commercial office suites, and some functionality improvements covering multimedia integration, extended language capabilities, and mathematical enhancements.
LibreOffice Applications
The Verdict
Sure, LibreOffice 3.3 is basically a recolored OO.o, at this point. But, adding its own fixes and features sets it in a new direction. LibreOffice should retain its compatibility with OO.o so that extensions, fixes, patches, and code enhancements can be used in either product.
Like the Debian Linux distribution, one of the best features of LibreOffice is that it isn't tied to a particular corporation. I give LibreOffice a 9/10 for its updated design, new, unique features and fixes, and its independent nature. I like the look of LibreOffice. I like that Go-oo has begun merging with it. And, I like that it has diverged from the once exhalted OO.o. Regardless of your operating system of choice, you should use LibreOffice. It works well. It's free. It also sends a message to corporate overlords that we don't have to pay $300-$400 for a capable office suite.
* It gave me great pleasure to uninstall OO.o and fill out the online survey to say that I'm now using LibreOffice. I feel freer already.
Great article, although sad about Oracle's decisions involving openoffice and the developers, but I am going to be replacing it with LibreOffice because I support open source software.
Am I over-optimistic? I am really hoping for a much better LO IMPRESS experience when viewing and editing .ppt and .pptx files from colleagues running Powerpoint. I want the slides to look identical and I want to be able to read the notes. Not exactly overly demanding eh? Yes, I know there are font issues, but Jo Public wants that solved, not trotted out as an excuse.
Neither (look, notes page) is true for me on OO.o 3.2.0 Build 9483 or:
LibreOffice 3.3.0
OOO330m12 (Build:2)
libreoffice-build 126.96.36.199
though (trivially) it was nice to be able to select and copy the above three lines (unlike OO.o's 'about' window), and the .pptx opened a lot faster with LO than OO.
Right out of the box, LO has been able to do what OO was not, slowly integrate into a 70 workstation office. Openoffice never made itself easy to use in a MSOffice-dominated building with MSOffice-dominated clientele. LO has been fully intergrated into the first workstation, and is installed and being worked with on 5 other workstations with more than positive results.
The reality is that this thing has to work side by side with MSOffice, and OO never let itself think about reality.
It makes you wonder when a spinoff of MySQL will come available ….
Have you tried Drizzle?
The article and comments make it sound like Open Office is no longer free. I went to OpenOffice.org and saw nothing to indicate a change, and the usual statement: The Free and Open Productivity Suite
I did a search for any commentary regarding Open Office no longer being free and found nothing besides this article and comments.
The license for Open Office is still LGPL.V3.
What is the basis for implying that Open Office is no longer free?
The article is not talking about free in the sense of cost. It is talking about free as in freedom from control by a single corporation.
Oracle has proven over and over and over that if what they "have" cannot be sold for profit, then it's dead. Thus Oracle has been divesting themselves of a ton of open source software by either getting out completely, or by pulling the plug on resources used by the open source project. The ONLY reason that OpenOffice is still around is because of StarOffice (the commercially sold variant that Oracle has). And with that said, there are other "open source" projects that Oracle is sponsoring (which do NOT make profit) and we MUST wonder when they too will get killed (and Oracle doesn't exactly give warning). Things like ocfs2 and btrfs come to mind.
Sure, the GPL is the IP protector in these cases, just realize that so far, it seems very likely that Oracle will make any GPL project that it is a part of…. go through some pain….
And… with that said, most big software companies are haters of the GPL and open source (truth be told). And that includes many of the companies that a lot of FOSS users think are their friends. Beware.
Link to the survey:
Thank you both for your replies. I understand cjcox to say that pulling the plug or hindering is what we have come to expect from Oracle, and that the GPL is still protecting Open Office.
But troum siad "…although sad about Oracle's decisions involving openoffice and the developers, …" So what decisions have Oracle made involving Open Office ?
If Open Office is going to be drug down by Oracle then I want off, but I'd like to know that that is true first.
Well I did a search on "Oracle decisions about Open Office" and found that a lot of distributions, including Fedora and Red Hat, are dropping Open Office. That's good enough for me. Open Office has been good, but a stick in the mud is not good. Onward and upward.
OK, I uninstalled Open Office from one machine and installed Libreoffice. I then opened a Word document that had to be done in Word because Open Office rendered it too long for the paper. It worked fine in Liberoffice. I then opened the same document in Open Office on another machine and it spilled onto the next sheet just like it always did. The article said Liberoffice was starting off as essentially just like Open Office, with improvement down the road, but this shows significant improvement for me.
@linuxmagazine …
Since this is an end user productivity tool, how about not scaring end users off with the command line stuff. By all means don't eliminate it, just preface it with something like "Just go to your distribution's software installer and search on LibreOffice, or if you prefer the command line, …".
In this case, a warning to uninstall OpenOffice first might also be in order.
My 2c
I installed LibreOffice a few weeks ago on a PowerPC Mac Pro (Mac OS X 10.4.11); I tried installing OO.o on it a long time ago, but it required an XWindows library that was only available from the (long since departed) original OS install disk. LibreOffice installed with no complaints and ran like a champ. I'm a believer!
I did put in a warning to uninstall OO.o under Basics:
Does anyone have a feel for what changes have been made to Base in LO? I know it is not widely used but it would be a good thing to see a solid Base for a change. To me, it never looked finished in OO. The manual for LO makes it seem like there have been many improvements. Maybe they came from Go?
Hello from New Zealand,
Just installed LibreOffice, as a Polytechnic Tutor I now use it for all my notes for the programming courses I teach here in the Bay of Plenty, and encourage my colleagues and students to try it.My programming is Java using Netbeans 6.9.1 on a Linux Mint 10 OS. Open Source is where the real innovation in software and hardware is now taking place.
Quite simply it is a splendid tool to use and a credit to the development teams considerable effort.
I switched over to LibreOffice as soon as I found out it could open my old StarOffice documents. OpenOffice would not do that.
I switched to libreoffice from abiword and it lasted just one hour (on a linux desktop). LO is so slooooooooooooow it is appalling. It takes around 30 seconds to open a small spreadsheet. Then, if I mark a block of cells to cut and paste, the cursor freezes and everything is unusable for several seconds before I can paste to another part of the same spreadsheet, or to another spreadsheet. What cr*p.
I tried LO running in a win XP virtual machine and it is MUCH faster. I then tried it on another PC with a different linux distro and it was just as slow – unusable for any length of time.
Also, with a Brother MFC240C printer, it prints the first line of any text above the print space at the top of the page. I have to set the first line of text of a document 2 inches down the page to have a chance of it printing.
Yuch – back to abiword
Libre Office has replaced Open Office on most of my systems. It has worked great on Fedora 14, Linux Mint 10 and Fusion Linux 14. It gave me access to some of my old files that I could not under Open Office.
I want to thank the Libre Office people for the courage to strike out on their own and not only maintain but improve their suite above Open Office.
I am running Libre Office 3.4 on Windows XP SP3 and it is EXTREMELY SLOW – well over a minute to start up and load a medium size document – and it frequent stalls during editing with Windows showing "Not responding" in the title bar. Is there any fix for this or is it just the cost of "free" software? If so, then $300 or so for MS Office is a much better deal!
Finally, a Drupal site does not have to look as boring as the screen dumps above. drupal.org has many freely available themes for download.fashion-week-inn
I wonder, is this is a function of the audience that Cuban reaches with his blog or if open source startup and quick profitability just don't go hand-in-hand? jaxsportsradio
