NO A (DEM) PROPOSED SENATE BILL which will: allow ”
globalist strategy to deprive us, the American people, of the greatest source of our Nation’s progress and strength: the creative genius of our own people; the innovation and technological leadership…
GW-First Continental Congress that they pass, as one of their first laws, a patent law, the Patent Act of 1790, which became the foundation of America’s technological progress from that point till today…
in fact, the patent system in Japan was designed to help corporate interests utilize technology rather than protect the rights of the creators of new ideas…
Jan Metzlinger,George Washington Carver,Thomas Edison, had the intellectual property rights in this country…
Our adversaries have identified technology as our strong point.

OUR PATENT (intellectual property) LAWS.
HOW:by “allowing big$ to screw the inventor” – a 1 year temporary patent, which is undfendable cause it’s temporary. So it can be infringed on.
George Wash (Carver) both must be rolling in their graves.
This bill is identical to H.R. 1908 (Status: Passed House (73% of Democrats supporting, 67% of Republicans opposing.)).http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;…
Will McCain use this Bill to paint the Dems badly?

I am a fashion designing undergraduate. We have to do a graduation fashion show for our final year. I hope to do a woman’s wear collection for Autumn and winter 2010. The Troy movie (ancient Greek warriors, Greek architecture, Greek culture) was selected as my inspiration source.
I want to express very masculine, outstanding, independent look through my collection and also I want to do an innovative collection with more structural looks. I think the Brand, Gareth Pugh is more appropriate for my collection. Now I am searching about customers of the Gareth Pugh brand as I have to do a product strategy report for the brand.The Gap of the brand is most essential for the report. When the Gap of Gareth Pugh Brand is considered, lack of designer level product ranges is a major issue as he mainly focus on Luxury market with high price levels. Another main issue is Ethical fashion. He mostly use synthetic fabrics, so I am going to introduce recyclable PVC materials.
This was a brief of my collection. But, I couldn’t find a better customer for my collection. It will be better if she is outstanding, masculine woman in UK with a higher income level, who interests on Gareth Pugh’s brand. If anyone can help me to find a good customer profile (I need only her details and she won’t need to buy anything) for my project and sources to find more about Gareth Pugh brand. Further more, any comment on my collection and your ideas to improve it, are highly appreciated.

Program checking: “Casting out p’s”
You’ve bought a fast integer calculation library from Goofle, Inc. (“featuring patented addition technology!”),
and holy cow, their code is fast! However, you’re a little suspicious about whether Goofle’s code is
always returning the correct answer. They don’t supply the source code to their library, so you have no way
to check their algorithms directly.
Instead, you decide to sanity-check every result you get back from their library at run-time to give yourself
a good chance of detecting any erroneous results. To this end, you’re going to write a wrapper (e.g.,
CheckedAdd()) around their API (e.g., GoofleAdd()) to check Goofle’s result—hopefully without
incurring too much performance penalty.
1. As a warm-up, prove that, for every positive D ? N, the number of distinct prime factors of D is at
most lgD.
2. Now, back to writing CheckedAdd(). Let’s suppose you use the following algorithm:
CheckedAdd(m,n):
// Given m,n ? N, computes m+n using Goofle’s library and checks for errors.
1. Set k := GoofleAdd(m,n).
2. Pick a random 64-bit prime p, i.e., choose uniformly at random among all primes
satisfying 263 < p < 264.
3. Compute m? := m mod p, n? := n mod p, k? := k mod p.
4. If k? 6= m?+n? mod p, then signal an error and abort.
5. Return k.
Assume that Steps 2–4 can be performed using a trusted library that is known to work correctly.
Prove that if GoofleAdd(m,n) correctly computes m+n, then no error will be signaled.
3. Next, let’s check whether errors in Goofle’s library will be detected. Let k denote the result returned by
GoofleAdd(m,n) in Step 2. Prove the following: If GoofleAdd() returns the wrong result, then
with probability at least 1? lgD
257 , an error will be signaled, where D = max(k,m+n).
Hint: Even if Goofle is trying to fool us maliciously, they still have to pick k before they have any
idea what prime we’ll choose. What is their best strategy for picking k erroneously to maximize the
probability of avoiding detection?
Hint: You may use, without proof, the fact that there are at least 257 different 64-bit primes.
Hint: For some fixed values of m,n, k ? N such that k 6= m+n, call a prime p unlucky if choosing it
in line 2 will cause CheckedAdd() to fail to signal an error (i.e., executing lines 3 and 4 with these
values of m,n, k will not signal an error). If you can show that there can be at most lgD unlucky primes
for any particular choice of m,n, k, you’ll be almost done.
CS 70, Spring 2008, HW 5 2
4. Goofle’s library also includes a function GoofleMultiply(m,n) that claims to efficiently compute
m×n, when given inputs m,n ? N.
Design an algorithm CheckedMultiply(m,n) such that: (1) When m,n are sufficiently large numbers,
CheckedMultiply(m,n) runs almost as quickly as GoofleMultiply(m,n); (2) Similarly
to CheckedAdd(), you have a good chance of detecting erroneous results from any multiplication
computation; and (3) Similarly to CheckedAdd(), you never signal an error without justification.
You may assume that you have a trusted library that can be used to pick a random 64-bit prime p, add
modulo p, and multiply modulo p, correctly and in O(1) time. Also, you may assume that your trusted
library can compute n mod p correctly, in O(lgn) time.
You should show your algorithm, but you do not need to prove it correct or justify your design.

This is what I got so far. I really need help editing this to something that sounds, reads better. I know as it sits it is not worth much of a grade. Please any constructive criticism you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
While Psychologists and Psychiatrists both share common roots, work in similar environments, and have comparable day to day duties, there are many profound differences between these two often confused professions.
The ancient Greeks and Romans considered psychological problems to be supernatural. Hindu scriptures known as Ramayana, and Mahabharata, describes illnesses of the mind arising from an imbalance of bodily fluids. The Chinese attached the afflicted with an imbalance of Ying and Yang. Each and every culture with the ability to display beliefs in a form of writing, reported a perception of mental illness. It was only a matter of time before the study of the mind became scientific. Psychologists today believe that mental illness is caused by life stresses and maladaptive behavior patterns. Whereas psychiatrists understand the disturbed mind to be of biological in origin. Both seek to understand and treat the unfortunate victims of the mental disorders that has taken hold of so many lives.
To better understand the perception and treatment of each field of study, one must understand the education, philosophy and the foundation of both professions. A psychologist, usually requires either a Ph.D or Psy.D to practice independently. A psychiatrist on the other hand, must acquire a medical degree before pursuing an education in mental health. This is coupled with at least four years of residency; a minimum of three of those four years must be in the mental health field. Possession of a medical degree allows a psychiatrist to administer a variety of medical tests, prescribe medication, and supervise electrotherapy treatments whereas a psychologist cannot. Both do however follow the same law of ethics, and provide similar duties such as educating students in the understanding the mind, conducting research, and, providing psychotherapy sessions. Some of the common places to see a psychologist or psychiatrist are hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, schools, prisons, rehabilitation centers, military settings, and also private practices. Both often work in a collaborative environment as team players to enhance diagnostic abilities, and improve treatment strategy.
The two professions also work individually. A psychologist mainly treats patients who are struggling with life issues. They may help someone adjust to life after being incarcerated, aid a family in the loss of a loved one, help children process the divorce of their parents, a veteran cope with the amputation of his limbs, or perhaps offer guidance to a confused adolescent. A psychiatrist can also do all of the same things, and can offer additional help due to the fact he/she is a physician. For example, patients suffering from schizophrenia may choose the aid of a psychiatrist rather than just a psychologist. This would be beneficial in order to receive medication and therapy from a single source to suppress the voices and delusions in their mind. Though the approach for treatment can be very different, the objective is always the same, both are in a position of service to aid in the quality of life to any given individual.
It is easy to see why these two valued occupations are commonly intertwined as being the same, but there are a number of other differences between the two. For instance, Psychologist and psychiatrists earn substantially different amounts of money. Psychiatrists procure an astounding average of $180,000.00 annually, while a psychologist doesn’t earn half that amount at a mere $59,440.00 per year. Another notable difference is that fifty percent of psychiatrists chose to maintain private practices, whilst a psychologist is more likely to work within an organization.
Many years of sweat and tears have of gone into the experimentation and research needed to further the understanding of the human mind. These two accomplices of service, work together, and individually, to aid our society through times of catastrophe and hardship. They are educated extensively, share common goals of assistance, and make significant changes in the lives of the unfortunate individuals who need the aid of these two professions so desperately. In order to care for a patient fully, both of these Samaritans are needed for their individual perceptions and treatments.

He’s just blowing off the middle and lower classes saying that we’ll figure out how to get by. This guy is unbelievable!!
Excerpts from the Hansens to the Obamas:

Michelle and Barack Obama
Chicago and Washington, D.C.
United States of America
Dear Michelle and Barack,
Barack’s first year or two in office is almost surely our last best chance to get the climate and energy strategy right in time to save the future of our children and grandchildren.
A carbon tax is honest, clear and effective. It will increase energy prices, but low and middle income people, especially, will find ways to reduce carbon emissions so as to come out ahead.
Coal phase-out and transition to the post-fossil fuel era requires an increasing carbon price. A carbon tax at the wellhead or port of entry reduces all uses of a fuel. In contrast, a less comprehensive cap has the perverse effect of lowering the price of the fuel for other uses, undercutting clean energy sources.vi In contrast to the impracticality of all nations agreeing to caps, and the impossibility of enforcement, a carbon tax can readily be made near-global.
Burning all the fossil fuels will destroy the planet we know, Creation, the planet of stable climate in which civilization developed.

A) Paraphrase the following paragraph:
“There is lots you can learn even from the worst job, lowest position, and meanest environment. You can learn how the business works and how to deal with people and procedures. You’ll learn strategies about getting along and getting attention. Of source, if you are being harassed or truly misused, you need to do something about it, up to and including getting out and starting again. But if you can do it, give your first job at least ten months.”

The Bush Doctrine is a phrase used to describe various related foreign policy principles of United States president George W. Bush, created in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The phrase initially described the policy that the United States had the right to aggressively secure itself from countries that harbor or give aid to terrorist groups, which was used to justify the 2001 invasion of Afghanistan.
Later it came to include additional elements, including the controversial policy of preventive war, which held that the United States should depose foreign regimes that represented a potential or perceived threat to the security of the United States, even if that threat was not immediate (used to justify the 2003 invasion of Iraq); a policy of encouraging democracy around the world, especially in the Middle East, as a strategy for combating the spread of terrorism; and a willingness to pursue U.S. military interests in a unilateral way. Some of these policies were codified in a National Security Council text entitled the National Security Strategy of the United States published on September 20, 2002.

What do you think that she doesn’t have a clue what the Bush Doctrine is?
Be honest!
Did you know what the Bush Doctrine is before I asked this question?
