Indian exoduS
While China's nabbed the globe's blue-collar jobs, India's taken hold of the white collar sector. With 200,000 jobs to go there from the UK alone by 2008, where will it end?
Spectacular. That's Perhaps the best way of describing India's growth in the last five years. Since 1997, GDP has risen from $333.32 billion to an estimated $532.75 billion for 2003, a jump of approximately 65%. Next year, that figure is expected to hit $567.77 billion.
It's not gone unnoticed by the globe's big multi-nationals. The likes of Gillette, Intel, Microsoft, Glaxo Smith-Kline, IBM, BT and Samsung to mention but a few all have operations in India either through joint ventures or subsidiaries. What is the attraction?
"India has a highly literate well-trained, young, English speaking workforce," says Achal Kaushal, a consultant on the Indian OP market. "It's an attractive business destination and almost all of the big global companies are here."
That of course is something that may have come under question these last few months as India was caught slap-bang in the middle of a double-pronged geopolitical threat. On its western front, the war in Iraq threatened potential turmoil and Pakistan's nuclear stand-off contnues to exert a regional threat while on the eastern front, the frightening spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) also threatened to seriously undermine business confidence throughout the region.
Indeed, confidence throughout the western Asia region slumped by 2.9% in April according to the business confidence index of the National Council of Applied Economic Research as businesses feared that investment would be hit.
It is not likely to be a long-term problem though. The Iraqi and Pakistani situation may yet boil over if the US plays its hand incorrectly while SARS remains a threat even if it appears that the epidemic is largely being brought under control.
The signs nevertheless, are looking better with each passing day and companies joining the Indian bandwagon continue unabated. Global recruitment firm Adecco for example, predicts 200,000 UK jobs will go to India by 2008 with 100,000 of those alone, in the call centre industry.
Black market
For India, that is important given the rise in outside investment in the country in recent years. In 2001, overseas institutional investment in India was $2.8 billion and already this year, foreign institutional flows for the first four months of 2003 had reached $849 million. Overall estimates for foreign direct investment in India last year puts the figure at approximately $4 billion and that figure could at least double in the next two years.
Are OP players among them? Yes is the answer but that is a qualified yes. The vast majority are on the manufacturing side including the likes of Canon, Henkel and 3M. On the retail side however, despite the growing disposable income of the population, that has not yet happened.
Will it change? Quite possibly. It is the retail sector that particularly looks set to take off in the next few years in big urban centres like Calcutta and Delhi. According to analysts AT Kearney, the retail market in 2002 was worth $4 billion but by 2005, that figure will jump to $32 billion as disposable income among the population grows. In addition, the government has embarked on a raft of policies aimed at tightening monetary control and improving its tax collection procedures which have contributed to making the retail sector potentially more attractive to international players in the next few years.
"There are at best some regional retailers currently but they are not very focused," says Kaushal. "Stationery and school supplies continue to be sold through small 'mom and pop' stores and the wholesale markets are also glad to sell to any walk in.
"Each major city has an area known for wholesale stationery and school supplies from which small retailers buy. Then there are these retailers in office districts which double up as printing support and bulk suppliers with the comfort of customer credit thrown in."
The government's taxation measures and business controls have certainly been biting the retail sector's black market. Although estimates put it at almost 19 times the size of organised retailing currently, it is reckoned that figure will be reduced to just four times the organised retailing sector in 2005.
Kaushal says: "While nobody expects a Staples or Office Depot to enter the market, the potential for a domestic player with a strong brand to emerge is clearly there."
Calcutta-based ITC has certainly spotted the opportunity. It is best known for its greeting cards and packaging businesses but in February, it announced that it is to move into stationery products under the Expressions Paper Craft brand. It plans to promote the new product range through 30,000 stationery stores and 100 distributors throughout the country.
A spokesperson at the time said: "ITC has always had interests in greeting cards, paper and packaging. Now, due to our vertical integration capacity, we want to convert commodity products into consumer products."
If anybody can crack the retail market, then ITC is likely to have as good a chance as any. The expressions brand is well-established and Indians are becoming increasingly brand consciousness as sales of HP, Canon and Epson products in the market demonstrate.
CEO of the ITC stationery division Chand Das says: "The future has to be built by players who invest in creating superior quality products. We believe we have a unique competitive advantage with an extensive distribution network which will be leveraged for distribution of stationery products as well."
However, he adds that although branding is important in India the market is characterised by "price competition. There are very few quality producers that are national players".
There is another issue facing the market too – namely the government's imposition of VAT of 12.5% on a variety of office products goods. OP players such as Camlin, Kores and Hindustan Pencil have taken a short term hit in sales as in the two months preceding the imposition of the new VAT, retailers cut inventory in the fear that they might not be able to sell on product to the consumers. That has directly hit the manufacturers' pockets leading to calls for the exemptions to be made, particularly in the back-to-school sector which is approaching its busiest period.
While the Indian government's efforts to rack up its tax returns are understandable, it could impact heavily on some of the domestic players. Is it cutting off its nose to spite its face? Sales will be the arbiter of that in the coming months.
Trouble at mill
The Indian government's crackdown on pollution has led to the closing down of a large number of smaller mills unable to meet the compliance requirements.
These include tightening up the criteria on air and water pollution in tandem with specific and non-negotiable deadlines. Those that fall foul of the new regulations have been hit by heavy fines and, if misdemeanours are repeated, the threat of closure.
It hasn't all been whip though. The government has incentivised paper producers to make the necessary changes by reducing import duties on pollution controlling equipment. It is clearly beginning to pay dividends with Indian paper producers spending large sums to come up to international standards.
And for the big five, JK Paper, BILT, APM, TNPL and Century, the race is effectively on to get their houses in order before the big global players decide to develop their own manufacturing facilities in India.
Biggest player in the cut size branded paper segment is JK Paper with just over two-fifths of the market share. General manager of sales and marketing of JK Paper, Deepak Bose says: "In general, the paper producers here are technologically quite developed but they don't have the large individual capacity to match that of western producers yet. Although none of the major foreign players have entered the market in a big and systematic way, it may be a threat in the future, depending on the future structure of duties."
With market growth rates of up to 16% per annum slated for the branded cut size, it is a prospect that might appeal to a Stora Enso or International Paper at some stage down the line. Additionally, as Bose points out, none of the domestic distribution houses have been able to develop a truly national network, covering the whole of India, working instead on a city-to-city basis.
There is an opportunity there but will it be taken? Time will tell.

U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL), Ranking Member of the Senate Budget Committee, issued the following statement today in response to comments by President Obama regarding the upcoming "fiscal cliff":
"I was pleased to hear the President's call for budget ideas from both parties, but bipartisan cooperation will require good accounting. I was therefore troubled that he described his budget proposal as a path to deficit reduction, as it brings our total debt to $25.4 trillion in 2022 according to his own projections. Instead of reducing spending, his plan increases taxes to pay for even more spending: annual federal spending will grow from $3.5 trillion today to $5.7 trillion in 2022.
His budget also does nothing about the surging growth of welfare expenditures. All operations of government will need belt tightening. But under the President's proposal, total spending on federal welfare programs will grow another 30 percent by 2016--to approximately $1 trillion in federal spending and more than $350 billion in state contributions. Real entitlement reform requires welfare reform. A modest reduction in growth, along with improved standards and work requirements, can produce substantial savings and ensure resources are targeted to those in need. Welfare reform will also strengthen our immigration system and remove incentives for illegal immigration.
Budget reforms should be combined with efforts to encourage economic growth that benefits everyday hardworking Americans: more and cheaper domestic energy, a fair trade policy that defends U.S. workers, a streamlined tax code that makes America more globally competitive, a strong national defense that keeps the peace, and a disciplined budget plan that creates confidence and prevents a debt crisis."

Joseph - Dreams, Dungeons, Diadems (7 of 15) by Clarence E. Macartney
This content is part of a series.Joseph - Dreams, Dungeons, Diadems (7 of 15)
Series: The Greatest Men of the Bible
Clarence E. Macartney
Genesis 37:19
Springtime on the Plain of Dothan, in the Vale of Esdraelon. To the south the mountains of Samaria, to the north the mountains of Gilboa. Standing on one of the lower ranges of the bordering mountains, we see black dots against the green grass of the plain. These are the black tents of the sons of Jacob who are feeding their flocks on the Plain of Dothan. And yonder are white dots. These are flocks of sheep against the green of the plain, like lingering snow on a March day. But away yonder, coming from the south with greetings from his father for his brethren, is Joseph, his coat of many colors brushing the dews from the lips of the spring flowers as he walks across the plain.
Love can see afar off and so can hate. The father of the prodigal saw the returning son when he was ''yet a great way off,'' and Joseph's brethren saw him ''afar off.'' When they saw him they said one to another with hatred in their voice and envy in their eyes, ''Behold, this dreamer cometh!''
The world loves a dreamer. That is one reason for the popularity of Joseph, and why, in the vote of the congregation, he takes seventh place among the great men of the Bible. The world's greatest story centers about the world's greatest dreamer. Forever this will be the story for young men and young women, for it has in it all the elements of life's great story-ambition, dreams, hope, love, sorrow, envy, hate, temptation, lust, vengeance, suffering, sorrow, sin, and conquest. The popularity of Joseph shows how, after all, the great things of life do not change. The things of the heart and of the soul are the same from age to age. The world loves Joseph, too, because he was a great sufferer. Sorrow and suffering and hardship are deepest graven on the history of men. They have a deeper appeal than pleasure and ease and plenty. Joseph was the great dreamer; but because of his ...

Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie Pitt
Set in France during the mid-1970s, Vanessa, a former dancer, and her husband Roland, an American writer, travel the country together. They seem to be growing apart, but when they linger in one quiet, seaside town they begin to draw close to some of its more vibrant inhabitants, such as a local bar/cafe-keeper and a hotel owner.

There are approximately 300,000 Bengalis currently living in the UK. Not much history of those Bengalis who settled in the UK currently exists (except two books written by Caroline Adams & Yousuf Chowdhury). Many of the first settlers are now elderly (sadly some have already passed away) and their memories and experiences are being lost as their testimonies have not been recorded and preserved. Many young Bengalis do not know the history of their elders and cannot easily access information related to Bengali community. The project aims to preserve the memories and experiences of the elders before this loss.
The project will offer unique opportunity to Bengali young people to research, document and celebrate Bengali heritage & history by recording the experience of three generation Bengalis in the UK. Interviews (interviews will be translated into Bengali or vice versa) will be recorded on audio (and if possible on video), materials (including photographs) will be used for exhibition, publication (including learning packs for schools) and website. Original material will be held with the Swadhinata Trust (for its proposed Bengali Resource Centre) and CRONEM but copies will be deposited in the Tower Hamlets Local History Library and other institutions Swadhinata Trust works with in partnership.

Evel Knievel Slots
Evel Knievel was an all-American daredevil whose insane motorcycle stunts dragged the whole US to the TV sets in the '60 and '70s.
Vegas Technology casinos no longer accept new players. If you want slot games of equal or even better quality, we recommend Roxy Palace Casino for non-US players.
And just like Knievel's shows, this is an all-American slot game. As an homage to this entertainer, casino platform Vegas Technology has released his own slot machine.
Quick Facts Evel Knievel Slots:
Numbers of reels: 5
Number of paylines: 20
Min bet/payline: $0.01
Max bet/payline: $10
Max Jackpot: 10,000 coins
Scatter Multiplier: Yes
Free Spins: Yes
Progressive Jackpot: No
Software Provider: Vegas Technology
Evel Knievel Slots Rules
To win in Evel Knievel Slots you combine the Star-Spangled Banner in different shapes and forms. The slots symbols consist of hearts, flags, spaceships, helmets, trucks and Las Vegas-style jackets - all covered with stars and stripes.
There are also symbols triggering bonus games, free spins and scatter multipliers.
But before you download a Vegas Technology casino and start your slots engine, let's quickly go through the rules of Evel Knievel Slots.
Betting Limits and Coin Values
The coin denominations in Evel Knevel slots are: $0.01, $0.05, $0.10, $0.25, $0.50, $1.00, $5.00 and $10. But that is only the price per line, and since this is a 20-line slot machine, you can cover all winning lines for as little as $0.20 and bet as much as $200 on one spin.
How to win in Evel Knievel Slots
The base game is rather straight forward, although the design is a little cluttered so it's sometimes hard to see where and why you've won.
We recommend that you study the paytable before you begin playing. In doing so, you won't get distracted by all the stars and stripes that fill this game.
Jackpots, Wild Symbols and Scatters
As usual, you should be on the lookout for the wild symbol - a big 1 - which both substitutes for all other symbols, except scatter and bonus, and generate the highest payouts when you manage to get a number of them on the same activated line.
Five 1s pay 10,000 coins; four 1s pay 2,000 coins and three 1s pay 200 coins.
The "Evel icon" works as a scatter: 2, 3, 4, and 5 of them multiply your winnings by 2, 5, 50 and 500. Also, when you get three or more scatters you instantly get 15 free spins.
Last - but definitely not least - we have the bonus symbol: Evel Knievel himself on a bike. When it appears on reel 2 and 4 at the same time the bonus round is triggered. The bonus round prize is multiplied by the number of pay-lines crossing through.
Well, that's about it I guess. Now I think you're ready for the daredevil reels.

Slides Come Alive Again!
I love this scanner - I am not a whiz at any computer stuff - but it was easy to install and preview 4 slides at a time, pick the ones you want to scan- so it serves as a preview. I have only scanned about 100 slides- they are turning out great. Adobe Elements comes w/the purchase and it is far better than my freebie programs- but takes some getting used to and the commands are a mystery-needs definitions with the commands. I havent had time to edit much- but the ones I tried turned out good. I havent figured out how to clean up dirty slides- would love some clues on that.. all in all - I am happy with the purchase. It arrived fast and no problems with shipping.

At the end of the room, watching television can be placed on one side of the fold. I wonder, though, said the creation of such television maker LG.
According to LG, the production of flexible plastic screen has been used instead of Polyamide, Polyster film. As a result of the transparent pixel design technology has been associated, from vague or dim view a trouble free match.
The screen size of 18 inches to create an experimental program. However, the company plans to build the 55-inch size. Four-to-HD quality flexible than the TV screen is more than four times higher. A resolution of 1200-by-810.
Analysts say the technology, the screen than conventional TVs would be durable, flexible TV screen. TB who come to the market this year. However, the price did not say anything clear about how it will be built.

Offensive showdown
No. 15 Nebraska is just one play away from being unbeaten, but the Huskers are still contending for a Big XII Conference title, which continues Saturday when they host Texas Tech at 3:30PM ET from Memorial Stadium.
Bet Texas Tech at Nebraska
A 16-15 loss to Virginia Tech is the only blemish on the season for Nebraska, but the Huskers have all four of their wins by at least 15 points. The Huskers are 5-0 against the spread on the year thanks to the play of Roy Helu Jr, who has rushed for 552 yards and six touchdowns. Zac Lee has thrown for 1,085 yards and 10 touchdowns on the year, while Curenski Gilleylen and Niles Paul each have over 200 yards receiving. Nebraska leads the conference in scoring defense, allowing just eight points per-game, which also ranks second in the nation. The Huskers have allowed just 813 passing yards on the season.
Texas Tech leads the nation in passing yards behind the efforts of Taylor Potts, who has thrown for 1,817 yards and 13 touchdowns. Last week, Steven Sheffield threw for 490 yards and seven touchdowns against Kansas State, as Potts recovered from an injury. The Raiders also are second in the nation in yards per-game at 523.2. The offensive production has led Texas Tech to a 4-2 record and a 3-2 record against the spread. Both of Tech's losses come against ranked opponents on the road, and both were by 10 points or less. Defensively, the Red Raiders are allowing 21.3 points and 349.7 yards per-game. Tech ranks last in the conference in passing defense, having allowed 1,455 yards through the air this season.
Oddsmakers from online sports book SBGGLOBAL have made Nebraska 10.5-point home favorites over Texas Tech on Saturday afternoon. The over/under total for this game has been established at 60.5.

This probably counts as speculation but still
How physics seems to work in the ME universe
1. Conservation of energy. I was thinking about how in depth I should make this bit but I am rather sure that the law of conservation of energy is warped or destroyed in the ME universe. How? well consider two weights on, for want of a better description, a bicycle chain length (H), with one weight hanging on each and an a gear at the top which the chain runs over the gear leads to a generator. Give weight 1 a mass of (M) and weight 2 a mass of (M+D). Now place a mass reducing circuit with a switch under weight 2 and let the system move. Start with mass 2 at the top and the circuit off. Gain in GPE for the system would be G*D*H where G is acceleration due to gravity in wherever this is done. This can be made into electrical energy in the generator. When weight 2 reaches the bottom, it touches a button which turns on the mass reducing circuit making its mass become (M-D) and the system generates another G*D*H of energy. This is said to require current proportional to mass changed (2D), volume of effect (unknown since it depends on densities and sizes of the weights) and time (you could go to work out time in terms of M and H and G). The point of this becomes: by finding the right values for M, D, H, G, resistance of the circuit, volume of the effect and the coeffiecient for how much electrical current is needed to make the effect (by sheer omnipresence of its use I assume this coefficient is not very much). You could find a place where this system would be able to power itself and more perpetually.
2. Conservation of momentum. Whether or not momentum is conserved in ME is a bit more difficult to decide. In the codex for mass accelerators; the implication is that a projectile leaving a mass effect field will suddenly gain or lose momentum when it crosses the boundary (or there would be absolutely no point of usign mass effect fields in weapons since your highly accerelated bullet would lose most of its speed as soon as it leaves the barrel. the SMG recoil mod in ME3 also seems to imply that an object moving in a collapsing mass effect field will also gain or lose momentum (split second increase in mass of weapon during firing so the same recoil momentum is delivered as a low velocity high mass arrangement, but since it reduces recoil overall, evidently when the mass is reverted, speed it kept constant and hence momentum is lost). However the codex entry for FTL Drive does something to imply that momentum is conserved somewhat when it says: "If the field collapses while the ship is moving at faster-than-light speeds, the effects are catastrophic. The ship is snapped back to sublight velocity, the enormous excess energy shed in the form of lethal Cherenkov radiation" If at FTL speeds, a collapsing mass effect field had the same results as those used in weaponry then you would get an imaginary number for the mass of the ship (relativistic mass is rest mass over the square root of (1 - v^2/c^2) where v is velocity and c is speed of light) if v>c then relativistic mass is a real number over a complex number. But there is no reason why this should not be theoretically possible, complex numbers are used to solve many real world problems. Conclusion: someone got a bit iffy about complex numbers for ship masses, but otherwise conservation of momentum is ignored which could be used to make another series of perpetual motion devices. Also I would challenge the methods of creating propulsion listed in the codex as being wasteful when using this momentum creation, you could contain the entire propulsion system within a ship and not have to throw out anything as exhaust.
3. 'Supernova bomb' something I am surprised that the turians or Alliance didn't do, It sounds like the protheans did. Basically get a large Eezo core and direct it at a star. By reducing the star's mass you force it to blow off (very hot) mass since the pressure exerted from the inside outweighs the gravitational pull inwards. Or make it gain mass so it pulls in gasses and dust that used to just be orbiting it. This will make the star have a shorter lifespan, and If you can get a star heavy enough it will start to convert helium and in doing so, spread to several times its current size. lure reapers into a system with no planets worth keeping and warp the mass of the star to vaporise your opponents (and your own ships doing the mass warping). All about sacrificing few for many and that.
I may add to this as I think of stuff. I will also inquire as to whether diagrams would count as personal images so I could make some to help indicate points

Sandem Day who has been treated as a social outcast all his life. It was because of his strong, almost obsessive interest with computers, technology, and online programs. Eventually he got tired of all his friends, family, and other people judging him and mysteriously went into hiding at age 17. He established a secret society of computer geniuses and hackers that will make the people who attacked them, repay. He is now 24 years old and just launched his new project, Denis St. Roy which is supposedly named after one of his ancestors. The program is actually a malicious virus that, once installed onto one computer, can now install itself on every other computer in the world. After the dastardly deed was done, the virus mysteriously uninstalled itself days later and left no trace of damage. Only in a few select computers, a strange Flash Drive was left in each computer tower.
The first to discover and report the mysterious flash drive was a 15 year old boy named Destin. Weeks later the whole Earth were reporting strange flash drives. However, the flash drives contained a secret. They were a key to an alternate realm called Fanodenia. Only an average percentage of the world has found out how to use the key, most of which are teenagers, because their developing mind is still accepting to new and strange ideas. Eventually, those who hadn't figured out how to use their key were kept from entering Fanodenia and was left with a regular, plain flash drive. In the newly discovered world, there are many fantastic things you can do. It is a world inhabited by many exotic and strange creatures and citizens. The world of Fanodenia is watched over by the Gem Guardians, a group of elite sages and warriors born from a magic gem.
Destin's Crew Edit
Destin - A 15 year old boy who was the first to discover the mysterious flash drive somehow created by the virus. He is somehow linked to Sandem Day but no one knows how. He is the de facto leader of his new friends and he is also well known in Fanodenia.
Dayo - 17 year old boy who comes from Nigeria. He ran into Destin while exploring Fanodenia. He serves as the group's muscle and usually is the one to take charge.
Yein -A 16 year old girl who, surprisingly, is a Korean idol from a female idol group named Lovelyz. She was the only Lovelyz member to discover the use of the flash drive. She is well known in the real world but no one even knows what an idol is in Fanodenia. She serves as the face of the group.
Chaz - A 15 year old boy and Destin's next door neighbor. He was the second person to know about the drives. He is shy and softspoken but other times he is quite rash.

I booked a king room for myself, husband, & baby and a second room with two queens for my parents and brother sister in-law and their baby. Choice Hotels had the best price.
When we arrived there were adequate signs directing us to a room that had been converted into the office. Check-in was quick & easy. We were given adjoining rooms. Both rooms were fresh and clean.
Breakfast was good quality as expected from choice hotel members. Although the waffle machine was down and the juice ran out. The quality of what was there was very good for continental. Because of the renovations, the breakfast area was a makeshift area combined with the reception in a dual room. Very good relocation under the circumstances.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Hotel is surrounded by the High Sierra Mountains with a Swiss Village atmosphere. All rooms have coffee makers, refrigerators, microwaves, free high-speed Internet and free movies. Rooms are large, clean and comfortable. Skiing, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, and hiking are nearby. ... more less

''All I can say on the (burnout) issue is that we have to play according to the BCCI schedule,'' the Left-Arm seamer said on the sidelines of a product launch by Tata Indicom.
Pathan was even more circumspect on the Sourav Ganguly issue and when asked to comment on the now pariah former captain, the left-arm seamer replied, ''Please restrict your queries to me only. There has been enough controversy on this issue.'' The Vadodara paceman was quite excited about his first trip to the Carribeans and underlined the importance of the upcoming tour for the World Cup 2007 preparations.
''I have heard a lot about West Indies from the guys who have been there. Different venues, different pitches to bowl on and a different culture all together. I am really looking forward to it.'' ''And since we are going to play the World Cup there next year, it adds a whole lot importance to the forthcoming series,'' Pathan said.
Pathan was also reluctant to attach too much of an importance to the ICC rankings which place him at Number three on the all-rounders list.
''Believe me, these rankings don't matter much to me. I am ready for what my team demands. If I am bowling, my aim is to get some quick breakthroughs. And while batting, I want to contribute by making some runs,'' he said even as he revealed he always enjoyed wielding the willow.
Asked if the cricketers were spending too much time endorsing brands which, in turn, was affecting their game, Pathan begged to differ.
''Performance and endorsements are related to each other. It's only when we are playing well, we're getting the brands to promote,'' he said.

The scary thing, or atleast the mindboggling one is trying to extrapolate this and imagine what we'll be DOING with it. Okay, so you say 6 OOM in 25 years. I think if you compare similarily-priced computers its actually more than that. The TRS-80 cost a lot more (inflation-corrected) in 1983 than a 2GB laptop cost today. I think the real number is more like 7OOM. So, what does that mean if present trends continue for the NEXT 25 years ? 2GB * 10^7 ram. It's a -gargantuan- number, it means your laptop by then will have more RAM than the googlecluster has today. Infact it'll have RAM comparable to the sum total of ALL laptops in USA today, give or take a OOM.
Storage increase in laptops:
Posted Jun 26, 2008 11:36 UTC (Thu) by Duncan (guest, #6647) [Link]
However, there's another dimension that you've failed to figure in, that of overall computer size. It turns out that at least for the past 25-50 years (the 50 years earlier measured, or the 25 here) at least, we've found the practical benefits of overall computer miniaturization beneficial as well, such that in practice they've absorbed some of those OOMs you mention. It's the oft pointed out main-frame (room size) > mini-computer (large appliance size) > desktop (medium appliance size) > laptop (small appliance size) > handheld/umpc > cell-phone > watch... trend. As storage and computation increases, we've chosen to trade off an OOM every decade or so to graduate to the next smaller sized unit. If the per-decade size generation trend continues, normal people won't be using laptops anymore in 25 or even, really, 10 years, as we'll downshift a size or two or three instead. Just as trends indicate people are now switching to laptops instead of desktops and UMPCs instead of laptops, because the smaller size now has more power than the larger size did a few years previously and it's all the power really needed at that usage point, a decade from now, computers the size (and likely cost as well) of today's remotes/MP3-players/cell-phones will be the norm (low/high-end), while packing the computing power of today's dual-quad-core servers. OTOH, we're up against the wall of the human body's I/O limitations already, probably the reason we didn't migrate smaller several years ago, when the computing power of a desktop first exceeded that really necessary for office applications and the like. Some people just like a full sized keyboard and a nice sized display, and that human interface is *NOT* shrinking with Moore's law, unfortunately. For decades, Science Fiction's answer has been change the interface, voice recognition and eye-glasses displays, with direct neural tap interfaces predicted beyond that, but the required AI and materials science hasn't really made that first leap practical as yet, tho it /is/ tantalizingly close... but we've thought that for over a decade, as well. Still, the keyboard and large external display as human I/O method is simply going to have to give if we're to graduate down below the UMPC level. Or maybe we'll end up with ubiquitous built-in keyboard/display/Internet units everywhere, and plugin/wireless-in our multi-terabyte-storage-multi-cored-USB-thumb-drive-sized "personal computer" everywhere we go, much as folks are doing with the thumb-drives themselves today? Or, just perhaps, the just-a-few-years long trend of actually shrinking cost will become the dominant factor going forward, and those now $400 UMPCs like the Eee and friends will be $30-50 or even <$10, while containing the power and storage of today's big-drive quad-core desktop/servers, but with the permanent data stored "in the cloud" and with I/O to ubiquitous permanent displays/keyboards where needed as mentioned above, so the individual units become disposable, like the digital watches one can now buy in the dollar store. I really do think that the average person's usage really is being met now, thus the focus on smaller but more important CHEAPER we are seeing, and that that fact is not going to change -- UNLESS some "killer app" like truly practical general purpose (not limited purpose/vocab as we see now) voice recognition and hidef spectacles displays suddenly appear. If /that/ happens, then we'll see the drive to smaller (but with whatever resources are necessary to drive the voice recognition AI) reassert itself over cheaper, down to the point they can be embedded in the eye-glasses themselves. Since such a practical general purpose voice recognition AI, should it appear, is likely to be fairly resource intensive for even today's multi-core desktops, the process of miniaturizing the hardware (and power requirements) to the watch-battery size point, for embedding in those spectacles, is going to take a fair bit of that 25 years, anyway. Beyond that... well, we'll just have to see where that neuromanceresqe "jacking in" tech is, at that point. Duncan

That's true. You get a 7oom quicker computer for $5000 now, compared to a similar sum of money (inflation discounted) 25 years ago. But people don't BUY those. They buy $500 - $1000 computers instead, and spend some extra on getting small rather than powerful at that. (laptop-hds are much more expensive pro GB than desktop-hds) It's already all in the IO. I've got one 17" laptop and one 12", the difference isn't in the power (it's there, but I rarely care) but in the fact that the 17" is just better if I need a lot of screen pixels or a lot of physical screen-size.

Do you lie to your spouse about your spending? Feel guilty about how much money you make? Constantly blow your budget? A new breed of expert -- the financial therapist -- is ready to help.
Also called financial psychologists, financial therapists will examine the emotional roots of your relationship with money to help resolve the underlying issue that's causing the problem, whether it's overspending on gifts to show your love for someone, or hoarding because you grew up poor.
"If you're not sticking to your budget, there's not a lot a traditional financial planner can do," says Amanda Clayman, a financial therapist in New York City. "A financial therapist will try to figure out why your budget isn't working. Is there some sort of emotional issue causing you to spend a lot of money? Was there something in your upbringing that is influencing that's how you're handling your money now?"
Blend of psychology and money is long overdue
While the number of financial therapists is difficult to quantify, it's clear that the field is expanding. A growing number of social workers, psychologists and counselors across the country are choosing to specialize in money disorders, and at least three organizations for U.S. practitioners have been formed in recent years. The Financial Therapy Association, which was established a little over a year ago, already has 300 members, says President Sonya Britt, an assistant professor of personal financial planning at Kansas State: "It's grown a lot faster than we expected."
Financial therapists say the blend of psychology and budget planning is long overdue. Money has long been cited as a leading cause of divorce in the U.S., and 76 percent of Americans named money as their No. 1 source of stress in a survey last year by the American Psychological Foundation.
"People feel more shame around money than they do around sexual problems," says Brad Klontz, a financial psychologist and author of "Mind Over Money: Overcoming The Money Disorders that Threaten Our Financial Health." "People are ashamed they have too much money or ashamed because they have too little. They think their problems with money are because they're lazy or stupid, so they don't look for help. They stick their heads in the sand."What's your financial flash point?
The therapists say most people have a "financial flash point" -- an experience early in life that leaves a lasting impression about how money works. One of Klontz's clients, for example, had a grandmother who gave $20,000 at the last minute to save the client's family home from foreclosure. The lesson she took from the experience? No matter how bad her financial troubles got, she believed someone would be there to rescue her. "The craziest money behaviors make a lot more sense when you figure out what someone's financial flash points are," Klontz says.
Financial therapists have identified and named a variety of common money disorders they can treat, including financial dependence, underspending , financial rejection, financial infidelity, financial enabling and more.
"In America, we all know what we should be doing: spending less and saving more for the future," says Klontz. "So more information about how to spend our money is not going to help. We need to look deeper, at the emotional issues behind the problem."
Does financial education trump psychology?
Not everyone agrees. Michael Kothakota, a financial planner at WolfBridge Financial in Apex, N.C., says if one of his clients clearly has a psychological issue, he refers them to a psychologist. But he adds: "I don't think there are a lot of people who need treatment for money disorders. The problem I see more of is a lack of education. People don't understand complicated investments, or they don't understand interest, and they need information and help making good decisions about their future. I don't think psychologists have the training or the background knowledge to help clients make those kinds of decisions."
That's part of the reason why some financial therapists have teamed up with traditional financial advisers to offer clients a more holistic approach. That's what psychologist William Marty Martin does at Aequus Wealth Management in Chicago. "Anytime we meet with someone, I'm in the room. The planner asks about financial things. I focus on the education pieces, the emotional pieces and the relationship pieces. Then if there's a special issue that arises -- say, for example, someone is having trouble with a spending disorder or a couple is fighting over money -- that's when I get involved."
Madeline Murphy Rabb, a fine art adviser in Chicago, said the two-for-one deal is what drew her to Aequus. "I liked that I had one hard-nosed, business person talking to me about the numbers and another person talking to me about the all the things that informed my attitude toward money."
Rabb said financial therapy helped her realize that her father's extreme penny-pinching was part of the reason she had a tendency to overspend. Her therapist also gave her the confidence to have some tricky conversations with clients about what her time was worth. "He helped me examine what was keeping me from taking risks in some areas and not taking risks in others," Rabb says.

It's not often a team removes its leading tackler from the starting defense.
But that's just what's happened at Arizona State after coach Dennis Erickson announced that middle linebacker Vontaze Burfict would not start Saturday against Washington as disclipine for a dirty play in the Sun Devils' loss to Oregon State, according to the Arizona Republic.
Burfict can be seen in the video below head-butting Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz near the Sun Devils' sideline after a play in last week's game.
Erickson said that Burfict would be benched for the entire game and would see some action against the Huskies.
"That can't continue to happen," Erickson said of Burfict's frequent personal fouls. "If it does, he just won't play. That's where it's at right now. We've been talking to him for a long time, and we'll continue to do that. Munnsy will start because of that, and Vontaze will play some."
Erickson said the punishment was in no way due to a directive from the Pac-10.
"This has totally to do with Arizona State and our football program and Vontaze," Erickson said. "I want him to be the best he can be, and if he learns from this he'll be the best he can be. He's got that issue, and he's going to overcome it and be a successful player here. At this point, if he does that he just can't play."
Thanks to the Dr. Saturday blog, we are also pointed to two other plays in which Burfict acted out after the whistle.

The National Instruments NI 562x family of high-speed digitizers can optionally apply dither in hardware in a band spanning 150 Hz to 4 MHz. Dither is random noise added to the input signal to improve differential nonlinearities in your measurement system. When measuring signal components in the 150 Hz to 4 MHz range, however, it may be desirable to disable dither.
The Spectral Measurements Toolset (SMT) enables dither by default. If you wish to disable dither when using the SMT, do so after calling the SMT configuration functions. In LabVIEW, use the NI-SCOPE Enable Dither property to toggle dither on and off. In CVI, use the NISCOPE_ATTR_ENABLE_DITHER to turn dither on and off.
The examples attached below are identical to the shipping SMT Peak Search Examples for NI-SCOPE, with the exception of an additional front panel control to toggle dither on and off.

Left-arm opening bowler Chanaka Welegedera produced a career-best performance to put Sri Lanka in command on the second day of the second Test match against South Africa at Kingsmead on Tuesday.
Welegedera took five for 52 as South Africa were bowled out for 168 on a good batting pitch, giving Sri Lanka a first innings lead of 170.
It also gave Sri Lanka hope of gaining their first Test win of the year, in a complete turnaround from the first Test at Centurion, which South Africa won by an innings and 81 runs.
Sri Lanka were seven for one in their second innings at the close, with captain Tillakaratne Dilshan falling to Dale Steyn before bad light stopped play.
Welegedera, whose previous best Test figures were five for 87 against Pakistan in Sharjah last month, bowled an impeccable line, slanting the ball across the right-handed batsmen, with all of his victims caught behind or in the slips.
Left-arm spinner Rangana Herath took four for 49 as South Africa crashed to their lowest total against Sri Lanka.
The tourists were earlier bowled out for 338. Thilan Samaraweera made a century and Marchant de Lange took seven for 81 on his debut.
De Lange's figures of seven for 81 were the best recorded by any bowler in Test matches in 2011 and put him at the top of an extraordinary crop of eight bowlers who have taken five or more wickets in an innings in their first Test match this year.
Samaraweera made 102 before he was the last man out. He became only the second Sri Lankan to hit a Test century in South Africa, joining Hashan Tillakaratne, who made 104 at Centurion in 2002-03.
Samaraweera and Herath frustrated the South African bowlers at the start of the day, adding 46 to the overnight total of 289 for seven, with Samaraweera batting watchfully to reach his 13th Test century off 265 balls.
After Samaraweera reached his hundred, Herath top-edged a slog against De Lange and was caught by wicket-keeper Mark Boucher for 30.
The tall, strongly built De Lange quickly wrapped up the innings, having Welegedera caught at short leg fending off a vicious bouncer before Samaraweera was caught at deep cover.
South Africa reached 22 for no wicket with Graeme Smith and Jacques Rudolph looking at ease before Rudolph played a loose hook against Thisara Perera and was caught at long leg by a diving Welegedera.
Welegedera then struck twice, having South African captain Smith caught behind for 15 and Jacques Kallis caught at second slip without scoring.
Hashim Amla and AB de Villiers added 76 for the fourth wicket before Welegedera made another double strike soon after tea to plunge their innings into terminal decline, dismissing De Villiers for 25 and Amla for a fluent 54.
Amla hit ten fours in an 83-ball innings.
Herath kept the pressure on the batsmen and it needed some bold hitting from tail-enders Dale Steyn and Imran Tahir to enable South Africa to avoid the follow on.
Only two South Africans have achieved better figures on debut than De Lange - a late replacement for the injured Vernon Philander, who also made an exceptional start to his Test career, with four five-wicket hauls in his first three matches, including five for 15 on his debut against Australia.
Lance Klusener took eight for 64 against India in Kolkata in 1996 while Alf Hal hadl picked up seven for 63 against England at Cape Town in 1923.

Despite continued high unemployment numbers, companies are hiring. Surprisingly, they are finding it difficult to find just the right people for positions that they need to fill. Recruiters, often called "headhunters," who took a huge hit when the economy tanked in 2008, are reporting that they are now busier than they have been in several years.
Working with a recruiter can be a great benefit in your job hunt, but only if you understand their role in the hiring process. Unfortunately, too many people have misconceptions about what they do, and how to motivate them to be your advocate. It's time to clear the air and bust some of the myths.
1. MYTH: The Recruiter's Job is to Help a Job Hunter Find Employment
FACT: Recruiters work for employers, not job hunters. Their job is to find the best talent for the position the employer is seeking to fill, bearing in mind all of the employer's "must haves," "should haves," and "shouldn't haves." They aren't paid to help people to transition to new fields, but rather to find talented individuals who have done the job already in a different context, or people ready to move up to the next level in their same career path. To be sure, they help individuals whom they are able to place, but their primary responsibility is not to be a career counselor or coach for job seekers.
2. MYTH: All Recruiters Are Paid the Same Way
FACT: There are essentially two types of recruiters for full-time permanent jobs:
Contingency recruiting companies aren't paid unless their client company hires a candidate they submit. Competition among firms is intense. For individual contributor-type positions, employers will frequently offer multiple recruiters the opportunity to work on the same job posting, and only pay a fee to the recruiter who actually finds the right talent.
That said, many contingency recruiters form networks or alliances to cooperate with each other and do "splits" where they share job listings with one side, taking 50 percent of the commission for getting the listing and another side taking 50 percent for finding the successful candidate. This is much akin to realtors sharing commissions for the sale of a home. If a recruiter advertises a search for "my client," but doesn't include the name of the client, it is likely a contingency search.
Retained search firms are paid by a company to take on an exclusive role in a given search, with the understanding that they will receive a higher level of service and more complete candidate vetting than is typically the case with contingency firms. These firms are most often utilized for executive level searches. Fees earned for retained searches are generally much higher than for contingency searches, and are paid out at specific points in the search process.
3. MYTH: Recruiters Are Rude and Unresponsive
FACT: Recruiters, like anyone else with very limited time, prioritize who that time is worth speaking with, and for how long. They are likely to be very responsive to clients or potential clients who have job orders for them to fill, and people who they see as strong (potential) candidates for those job orders. They are likely to be much less responsive to individuals who approach them out of a sense of desperation, with a career change in mind, or who are not perceived as "A" class workers.
Most recruiters simply don't have the time to respond to the hundreds of unsolicited resumes or phone calls that they receive virtually every week. And it simply is not their role to coach people who aren't a close fit for the kinds of positions with which they work. It is common for a recruiter to make 50 to 100 phone calls each day, and with that kind of volume they simply don't have the time to deal with extraneous conversations.
4. MYTH: Recruiters Aren't Out to Get Job Hunters the Best Possible Compensation
FACT: In almost every situation, recruiting fees are pegged as a percentage of the new hire's first year base salary. The more you earn, the more they earn. Often they have inside information about what the company is willing to pay, and are able to obtain a higher salary than what a job hunter initially thought they could get. Companies do not take the recruiter's commission out of the new hire's compensation. Much more often they understand that they must pay a premium for candidates sourced through recruiters.
5. MYTH: Recruiters Don't Care About Creating Long-Term Relationships
FACT: Recruiters are essentially in a relationship-building business. The successful ones know that their long-term success is based on building their network of relationships. They remember who helps them on one search, and will be likely to want to aid that person later on. They appreciate when a job hunter isn't a good fit for a current job, but goes out of their way to introduce them to someone who will be. They love the repeat business that comes from gaining multiple job orders from the same company. One surefire way to get a recruiter's attention and build a long-term relationship with them is to offer to provide the names of people who are strong connectors to others, thought leaders, and high performers in their specialized field.
Not every job hunter will find success working with a headhunter, but if you are accomplished in your field and committed to staying in it, building relationships with recruiters who specialize in your skill set and industry will be a great asset in your job hunt.
Happy hunting!

The barbershop grew to legendary status as I remember that any and everything that Pitbull did promotional-wise, he'd do it at the barbershop. The first time I interviewed him, it was at the barbershop. First photoshoot he did with me, at the barbershop. What was funny about this mural inside the store was that if you see on the top right corner of this photo, you barely see but it had a couple phone numbers listed including Sean "P. Diddy" Combs' cellie. I think it had Lil Jon's number up there at one point also. Either way, just thought I'd throw a random backstory to this photo. Holla.

(Posting this here because PS community is down)
Today my PS3 has finally gone kaput. Not quite completely kaput, but it might as well have. Here's the story:
When on the PS browser (computer is often taken), I often encounter freezes. These mean I have to soft reset to escape the browser. After doing so, I get a "the hard drive is corrupted and must be restored" message. I press ok, it does it, I'm back on. Fine. But once, I had got really fed up of the browser freezing and said no to the message. Well I think that might have been the beginning of the end. After that, I kept getting sound errors on my games (although I didn't make the connection until today). Assassin's Creed Revelations was the first, and I assumed it to be a disc problem. Cleaned disk, didn't work and assumed it was the game's fault.
Played the ME3 trial and encountered freezing, bugs and some more lovely sound errors. Obviously not a disk or disk drive bug. Uncharted 3 had audio bugs, Far Cry 2 had audio bugs. It was definitely across the board. While the bugs were small, they were evident and annoying. I wanted them gone. I did some searching, didn't find much until I came across the safe mode options. Apparently, the hard drive becomes damaged when soft reseted, plug pulled etc. All I needed to do was go into safe mode and a.) rebuild the database and b.) restore file data (the same option that came up after resetting).
I first decided to do the restore file data. It got to about 48% and then stopped. I read the Fourth Labyrinth for a bit, but it was stll staying here. Now this might have also been what killed the console - I pulled the plug. I decided to go into soft mode and do the database rebuild first. But I think by then it was too late. That option tells me the hard drive cannot be accessed, and now I have been plunged into a recurring loop of restoring hell.
I turn on, it tells me to restore, it restores, it shuts down. I turn on, it tells me to restore, it restores, it shuts down. etc etc, again and again. I looked on the internet, load of reports of this. Basically, my hard drive is screwed and my ps3 along with it. I have to restore the ps3 to get back, and that will take all trophies, online levels and saved progress away.
Tomorrow I'll do the restore. Not looking forward to it at all, in fact I am mortified. 2 years of progress will be gone! I don't like to think what it will be like starting again. I'm getting the Mass Effect games soon, so at least I'll have something to play that won't make me start again.
This is a very bad day in my gaming years.

Francois Hollande seeks 'gestures' in meeting with Hassan Rowhani
President Francois Hollande demands action on Iran's military atomic plans from new Iranian President Hassan Rouhani
Related topics
French President Francois Hollande urged Iran to make "concrete gestures" on its disputed nuclear programme before meeting Tehran's new leader.
"France expects Iran to make concrete gestures to show that it renounces its military nuclear programme, even if it has a right to a civilian programme," Hollande told the UN General Assembly.
Hollande later became the first Western leader to meet President Hassan Rowhani, a reputed moderate.
The two presidents smiled for the cameras and shook hands before entering a 40-minute session at France's UN mission.
In front of Iranian, French and European Union flags, Hollande praised "this first contact which calls for others", while Rowhani urged "a better future" in relations between the two countries.
The leaders were accompanied by French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius and his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif, a US-educated diplomat seen as key in Rowhani's outreach efforts, three months after he swept to power on promises to ease tensions with the West and fix Iran's battered economy.
"The question at hand is to know if these words can translate into actions, especially on the nuclear issue," Hollande said at the General Assembly. "For the past 10 years, talks haven't gone anywhere."
Iran says its sensitive nuclear work is meant for civilian purposes. But Western officials fear Iran may be working to build a nuclear bomb and Israel has not ruled out a military strike.
France, unlike the United States, has diplomatic relations with Iran, although it has also pressed Tehran over its nuclear programme.
"I accepted dialogue with President Rowhani as he himself has shown an openness," Hollande said.
He also talked to Rowhani about Syria, whose embattled President Bashar al-Assad counts Iran as a top ally. Hollande reiterated that he did not oppose Rowhani's presence at a future Geneva peace conference on Syria, but the focus had to be on transition from the regime.
