looking for blockbuster returns, the stock market has been a
little disappointing in recent months. Increasingly, investors
are looking to commodities as the next bastion of outsized
gains, and Wall Street is happy to provide those investors with
the vehicles they want to get the exposure they're looking for.
Why commodities now If you're a long-term investor, you may have
trouble understanding what draws people into a market such as
commodities. After all, commodities represent physical things,
things that in most cases can't grow or multiply into more of
that given thing over time. To investors used to earning
interest on deposits or dividends on equity investments, the
idea of hoarding goods in the hopes that prices will rise
doesn't necessarily seem all that appealing. But for momentum-

Discovery Channel released the first ever footage of the
legendary giant squid in its natural environment. But did the
crew manage to film the giant squid, or one of the giant squids?
The giant was first described by the Danish naturalist Japetus
Steenstrup in 1857, who named it Architeuthis dux. As Craig
McClain writes, the name “translates to ‘most important squid
leader’. That is scientifically an awesome name.” Since then,
biologists have slapped the Architeuthis brand on no fewer than
21 potential species. Some of these over-eager taxonomists were
just going on fragments of flesh, like beaks or arms that sperm
whales had coughed up. Others reasoned that squid remains in
far-off corners of the world must belong to different species.
After all, giant squids are everywhere—they’ve turned up in all
oceans except the waters around Antarctica. How many of these
species are valid? “All of them” seems unlikely as an answer.

wrong with video games. Namely, things being there just because.
Many of these titles advertise 60+ hours of gameplay, but a lot

1844 to 1852, then lingered on in exile in the Ottoman Empire
(especially Cyprus) as well as underground. Its founder was
Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad of Shiraz, who took the title Báb – meaning
"Gate" – from a Shi'a theological term. The implication was that
Siyyid `Alí-Muhammad was an avenue through which continuing
divine revelation could flow — a controversial and in fact
dangerous position, as his execution shows. For Bahá'ís, the
religion brought by the Báb is a predecessor to their own
religion, the Bahá'í Faith, which is now considerably larger
than the Azali Bábís. The two divided from one another in 1866.

first reaction is that this is the discrete case of the

ordering the 7700, I was roaming around the internet for reviews
on the laptop. It scared the crap out of me. So, I entered a
period of buyers remorse, thinking about how much I just spent
on a system that could come to my house broken. About spending
more money on a system that other companies could build for
less. Then I ran into a post by "Hammerhead" on some random
forum that made me wonder. So, I went to each site and built a
PC as custom as they would let me. Each option was chosen to
match what I bought for my 7700. If they didn't have a matching
option, I chose the option of equal or lesser performance.

I'm skeptical that the rider was really going that fast, but
he's definitely looking off to the side at his buddy, which

103-07. Beware of Boldness To the Editor: Conrad Crane’s
article “Beware of Boldness” (Parameters, Summer 2006)
profoundly illustrates that the devil, is in deed, in the
definition. The author urges the reader to contest the Army’s
use of the word boldness as a positive character trait as it
encourages a culture of daring risk-taking, especially, at the
senior level. He uses his personal dictionary and a decidedly
subjective analysis of American military history to put forth
his case. Generally, defining a word and historical research
would work well to establish meaning. Unfortunately, as in this
case, we also know that dictionaries differ and history has a
way of censoring contemporary values if not applied
appropriately. Continuing the author’s analytical process by
taking into account definition variances and by applying a more
circumspect application of history will bring us closer to the
correct answer. To determine whether boldness is a pos |

for further replies. 1. MCorbeau Sep 16, 2012 Hi,
first, i'd like to introduce myself. i'm a casual gamer who
plays pokémon from time to time either on the original game or
on PO battle, and i am very found of good pokémon battles some
members from here upload on Youtube. But i'm here to submit
you an idea that would modify the aproache of the idea of
"Tiers". First, you have to know that i come from the versus
fighting community ( most importantly the KoF series ) where
there is usually a different way to balance every player team
(KoF in particular works with a 3 vs 3 system). the idea is
basically to give a character (or a pokémon here) a grade.
the grade would estimate the competitive value of the pokémon:
let's imagine you are on a scale from 0 to 50 -Arceus and
other god-like monsters would be close to a grade of 50

Palin chats with the press During a seven-minute back and forth
with the press, Palin was asked why her campaign was focusing on
Barack Obama’s relationship with William Ayers, even though
Obama has much closer ties to his controversial former pastor,
Rev. Jeremiah Wright. The Alaska governor lamented Obama’s
relationship with Wright, but said the decision to make it a
campaign issue is John McCain’s. “He sat in the pews for 20
years and heard Rev. Wright say some things that most people
would find a bit concerning,” she said. “But again that is John
McCain's call.” Though the McCain campaign |

the 2012 Royal Rumble: What did we get from this match? First
off, let me vent some frustrations. I did laugh at Santino and
Foley, but didn't that somewhat overshadow more of the match
than usual? Good moment, but I just wish they were eliminated by
Rhodes, which I thought was going to lead into Goldust coming
out. That did not happen, so what is the point of having Rhodes
eliminate the "legends?" I really did not like the fact that
Jimmy or Jay, cannot remember, came in so late, as the final 5
spots should be for guys who realistically could win. Also, Show
at number 30 was a let down, as over the years we have gotten a
shock, a surprise. Maybe it is me, but Big Show does not do it
for me. We all know he enters but never wins. It happens every
year. Wade Barrett did nothing in the match besides put Orton

he explores a potential run for the White House in 2012.
Freshman Rep. Sean Duffy, R-WI, introduced Pawlenty to the

candidate, “a great Midwesterner with a friendly disposition.”
Pawlenty’s speech pointed to his record leading Minnesota as a
guide to his conservative credentials, while also taking a dig
at the state’s liberal lions. “I come from the state of
McCarthy, Mondale, Humphrey, Wellstone and now United States
Sen. Al Franken,” Pawlenty said to the crowd, who began to boo.
He continued, “But we cut government in Minnesota and if we can

0.201524 | -1.006769 | -1 | At least 15 people have killed in election day violence in
Kenya, but that hasn't stopped millions of citizens from waiting
for hours to vote in the nation's first presidential election
since 2007. Gangs of men affiliated with a regional secessionist
movement descended on a handful of polling places with guns and
machetes, sparking battles with police that left both officers
and gang members dead. At least 20 others were injured after a
stampede at a crowded polling station south of the capital of
Nairobi. Still, given the outrageous violence
that occurred during the last Kenyan election, today's relative
calm and long lines were an encouraging sign for pro-democratic
forces. The disputed results of the last election led to
widespread sectarian violence that killed more than 1,200 people
and displaced hundredes of thousands. The new poll attacks are
being blamed on the Mombasa Republican Council,
a secessionist group calling for city of Mobasa and it
surrounding region to declare independence from greater |

Saudi It ought to have been an awkward moment for Saudi
Arabia's Minister of Finance, Ibrahim Al-Assaf, mid last week,
when he met Prime Minister Hailemariam Desalegn. Only a day
before, headlines spread across the world's media, after Khalid
Bin Sultan, Saudi's deputy defence minister, made remarks,
directed atEthiopia, in a rather hostile tone. In Cairo to
attend the Arab Water Council meeting, the son of a former Saudi
Defence Minister and hopeful heir to that role, Khalid warned
that Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam had the power to drain
Khartoum, and the potential to make a detrimental impact even as
far north as the Aswan Dam. He claimed the project to build a
dam "12Km" from the border withSudanhad its roots in a
"political plot", rather than for the purpose of offering
economic benefit toEthiopia. A man known in his native land as
"a father ofSaudi Arabia's Missile", for his roles in helping

"Dearest, you and your brother will never return to Narnia!"
Those words repeated themselves again and again in her mind.
Words that for Lucy Pevensie were the equivalent of a death
sentence. "Why Aslan?" she thought bitterly. "Why let us come
to Narnia in the first place if you're only going to exile us
from it? Why should we draw close to this world anyway, it's so
ugly and brutal and unmagical compared to Narnia!" Lucy sighed,
looking round disconsolately at the room she was staying in. To
her eyes it was drab and unappealing, but she felt little desire
to leave it. What was the point? Everything in this world was
grey and lifeless and uninspiring compared to the place her soul
longed for. It hadn't been so bad when Edmund and Eustace were
with her. She was upset at not being able to go back of course,
but at least there were people she could talk about Narnia with.
