Economic transformation in theory and practice: What are the messages for Africa?
"Encouraging signs of growth acceleration in Africa may herald a new development era of rapid transformation. In an effort to promote the future success of African transformation, we herein provide an extensive literature review on development economics and empirical observations from successfully transformed countries, along with analytic narratives on the transformations of Thailand and Mexico. To conclude, we derive six key messages for African transformation. We find that the traditional development economics theory is consistent with the transformation practice of successful countries. However, this theory needs to be broadened in light of rising inequalities during transformation. Success vitally depends on agricultural development; early withdrawal of public support away from agriculture slows down transformation, and the resulting inequalities are recognized as a persistent development challenge. Transformation also depends on industrialization strategies, but we find that winner-picking industrialization negatively affects other aspects of development, whereas home-grown, export-oriented industrialization led by private entrepreneurs opens up broader opportunities for sustainable growth. Finally, government support will be required to create a business-promoting environment and to offer incentives for African entrepreneurs to lead growth." from authors' abstract

Unique Foot Roller
Located on the bottom of the feet are 2 rows of spinning reflexology massagers which provide a soothing kneading style application. As the rollers spin it will stimulate acupuncture points and as the air bags inflate it will generate a much deeper massage along the bottoms of your feet.
Zero Gravity Massage
Inspired by NASA technology, the Zero gravity position is the perfect position to enjoy a massage, aligning your back relative to your thigh at an optimal level of comfort. When reclined into the zero gravity position, the complete weight of your back is virtually supported by the backrest which maximizes the intensity of the massage. This feature improves spinal decompression and decreases muscle tension of the spine. There are 2 stages of zero gravity, the 2nd being more reclined. When reclined fully, to where your legs are higher than your heart level, the therapeutic effects are incredibly effective and may be felt immediately.
Next Generation Air Massage Technology
Osaki OS-4000T has re-engineered and has developed the next generation of air massage technology,
streamlining the air massager to a lower count. Through innovative engineering, we have reduced the total
number of air bags but have increased the volume and surface area of massage. By doing so the total number of working valves has drastically reduced from prior model. Which ultimately puts less stress on the chair, making
it one of the most mechanically sound massage chairs in the market.
Arm air massagers
Along with mechanical advancement, the material has also made upgrades, such as the arm massaging area. Using a durable spandex, the bottom portion of the arm massager has been lined with small rubber bumps to invigorate the senses as the air bags compress the tops and bottom of the forearm and hands.
Auto recline and leg extension
This chair defines luxury, fully automatic to make every movement effortless. The simple to use remote control allows you to operate the foot extension, leg rest, recline of backrest, and the zero gravity position.
Wireless Controller
Located on the back of the main remote you will find a compact wireless remote allowing you to control the main features of the chair without having to struggle to reach the main remote in the reclined position.
Calf & Foot Massage
There are multiple air bags along the sides and back of the legs and feet which inflate to apply a compression massage. Located along the bottom foot massager are spinning rollers that apply a concentrated pin-point kneading massage.
Lower Back Heat therapy
Placed in the lower back region of the chair are 2 heating pads that enhance the massage experience.
Shoulder, Lumbar & Hip Squeeze
In the upper to mid portion of the chair, the air bags are programmed to inflate at independent times, which causes the body to twist, creating an enjoyable deep stretch. Stretching is applied to the shoulders, lower back, hips and thighs.
Full Size Easy-to-Use Remote
The OS-4000 remote presents one of the largest viewing screens to easily visualize what functions the chair has activated. There is also a flip down cover to access the manual functions of the chair. The remote allows you to select the massage type, intensity, speed and location. You can also independently select the area of airbag massage. The manual mode massage includes kneading, tapping, shiatsu, rolling, combination and Swedish.
Auto Leg Scan
The calf and foot massager is capable of making adjustments according to each individual's leg length ensuring that the massage air bags are concentrating on the correct areas. At the start of the massage, the chair will fully extend out and then retract. Once the foot massager has reached the desired length, firmly press your toesdown to indicate to the chair to stop.
Seat Vibration
Located in the seat base is a vibration plate that provides a vibration massage to the back of the thighs.

The hunting mini game is actually pretty fun when you actually get toCard collectiing, battling, and leveling up stats is super addicting. The hunting mini game is actually pretty fun when you actually get to play it, and rewards skill. The art design on the cards is really awesome--final fantasy/mythical beasts/hot cartoon chicks are really impressive to look at. The music really livens up the game to make it feel like a big adventure, and more than just the system of static menus that it really is. Those are the things that make this game FUN. These are the things that make this game, really, just another waste of time. The free to play business model lures you in, you play a little, it's pretty fun, but then you hit a wall because the game limits how much you can accomplish in a certain amount of time. Also, the games progression seems entirely built on getting your friends to play the game. It's not merely a suggestion that can reward you, it's practically a necessity if you ever want to get anywhere without devoting your life to the game. You can compile a list of friends and battle them, and use friend points you earn from winning or losing those battles on fundamental rewards. But the problem is, you can only have a small amount of friends, that SLOWLY goes up as you SLOWLY level up. What's worse is you can only battle a small amount of friends per day, regardless if you have way more to battle. This drastically cuts off the amount of progress you can make in a reasonable amount of time. Multiplayer battles seem heavily hacked or something, as I went from fighting people with normal decks at reasonable levels, to invincible decks with at least one card at max level. IM LEVEL 6! That can't be right! Anyway, the game just hinders your progress far too much to be enjoyable. It almost feels like a real game, thus, I want to play it as one, but I can't. I won't pour money into it because it doesn't give you hardly anything for the high prices. WHY CAN'T ANY OF THESE GAMES JUST OFFER A FLAT RATE CHARGE TO UNLOCK A REASONABLE MEANS TO EARN THE SPECIAL CURRENCY IN THE GAME?! It's a fun game that, after getting into it, I'd be willing to pay a little for, but no...just another pay to win. Play for a day, and move along...… Full Review »

Managing and leveling up yourServing as my first foray into the card-battling mobile game genre, I have to say I'm pleasantly surprised. Managing and leveling up your cards can be surprisingly addictive, and the means of acquiring the cards is also novel and exciting. Hunting down these "guardians" through the lens of a sniper riffle is much more entertaining than grinding in order to get some form of booster pack or whatever. The game also packs some solid multiplayer content.
While the content offered here is solid, the actual battling isn't. The fact that they are automatic and require no input from the player other than the option to speed them up is a little disappointing, and prevents the game from reaching the depths of a series such as Pokemon. Which is something I saw the potential for it to do. All you can really do for these battles is just hope you leveled up you cards enough before hand. Any form of strategy is barely possible here. Still, it is an entertaining game that has enough good things about it to be worth a look.
While things like story and the actual battling could have used some work, the overall game is actually quite good. When you consider that it's free-to-play there's really no reason to not check it out. It has the potential to become extremely addictive. My total score for the game is a 7.9/10=Good.… Full Review »

The cards are well-illustrated and the game play is addictive at first, but after a while, you realize you are being manipulated by Square. They make the game play as slow a grind as possible in order to try to convince you that yes, it is in fact worth it to fork over a dollar for the opportunity to play another 5-10 minutes a day (i.e., if you buy a recovery potion). Try playing this game for a day, and then give up on it...no depth. Just the grind.… Full Review »

Pound Rises to 2-Week High as Osborne Keeps BOE Inflation TargetLukanyo Mnyanda
The pound rose to a two-week high versus the dollar as Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne said the government will keep the Bank of England's 2 percent inflation target, damping bets he would ease it to spur growth.
The U.K. currency gained versus most of its 16 major counterparts as minutes of the Bank of England's March policy meeting showed some policy makers saying further bond purchases may cause an "unwarranted depreciation of sterling." Osborne said in parliament he would allow officials greater flexibility in meeting the central bank's inflation mandate and may permit the provision of forward guidance on interest rates. Government bonds pared a decline.
"The minutes obviously did the damage to sterling bears," said Neil Mellor, a foreign-exchange strategist at Bank of New York Mellon Corp. in London. The official change in the central bank mandate probably won't "entail a particular shift in policy because they are already doing it," he said.
The pound strengthened 0.2 percent to $1.5129 at 4:54 p.m. London time, after rising to $1.5186, the highest since March 5. It earlier fell as much as 0.5 percent. Sterling weakened 0.3 percent to 85.59 pence per euro.
Sterling may resume its decline against the dollar and depreciate to $1.44 in six months because as U.S. economic recovery outpaces that in the U.K., Bank of New York Mellon's Mellor said.
Asset Purchases
Sterling has tumbled 4.6 percent this year, the second-worst performance after the yen of the 10 developed-nation currencies tracked by Bloomberg Correlation-Weighted Indexes. It fell amid speculation the government would waive the Bank of England's inflation target, paving the way for additional asset-purchases that tend to debase a currency.
The central bank last increased the target for bond purchases in July, raising it by 50 billion pounds to 375 billion pounds.
Osborne also said that the Office for Budget Responsibility halved its economic growth estimate for this year to 0.6 percent. Britain's economy will expand 1.8 percent next year, compared with a previous estimate of 2 percent, he added.
Jobless claims fell 1,500 from January to 1.54 million, the Office for National Statistics said today in London. The median forecast of 27 economists in a Bloomberg survey was for a drop of 5,000. That added to recent data that has fueled concern that Britain's economic slump persisted in the first quarter, after a 0.3 percent contraction in the final three months of 2012.
BOE Minutes
The Monetary Policy Committee voted 6-3 to keep asset purchases unchanged, the minutes of the March 6-7 meeting showed. The majority said with inflation above the BOE's 2 percent target, there was a risk that adding to stimulus "could lead to inflation expectations drifting upwards."
"The comments were more of a surprise than the actual vote," said Neil Jones, head of European hedge fund sales at Mizuho Corporate Bank Ltd. in London. "It's the first time we've seen verbal intervention in support of sterling in the past few years. This could be a nail in the coffin for further quantitative easing."
Gilt Yields
Ten-year gilt yields rose five basis points, or 0.05 percentage point, to 1.87 percent after climbing as much as 11 basis points, the most since Feb. 13. The 1.75 percent security due in September 2022 declined 0.385, or 3.85 pounds per 1,000-pound face amount, to 98.925.
Gilt sales will decline 8.4 percent next financial year as a planned cash transfer from the Bank of England's bond holdings to the government reduces the Treasury's borrowing needs.
Britain will sell 151 billion pounds of gilts in the 12 months started April, the Debt Management Office said today. That compares with 164.8 billion pounds in the current fiscal year.
Inflation has stayed above the Bank of England's 2 percent target for each of the past 39 months. The next Monetary Policy Committee decision is scheduled for April 4 and Governor Mervyn King is due to be replaced in July by Mark Carney, who currently heads Canada's central bank.
Inflation Expectations
Investors increased their inflation expectations today, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The U.K. five-year five-year forward break-even rate rose to as much as 3.814 percent today, the highest since May 18, 2011. The measure shows how much traders anticipate consumer prices will rise during a period of five years starting in 2018.
The 10-year break-even rate, a gauge of expectations of inflation derived from a difference in yield between gilts and index-linked securities, added one basis point to 3.28 percentage points.
U.K. gilts returned 1.2 percent this month through yesterday, according to indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies. German bunds gained 0.7 percent, and Treasuries fell 0.1 percent.

Garlic Snacking Bread
|Olive oil
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Finely minced garlic
|1 Tablespoon (Not Pressed)
|Whole wheat flour
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Unbleached all purpose flour
|1 Cup (16 tbs)
|Baking powder
|1 Tablespoon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Mixed dried herb/Store-bought italian seasoning
|1 Teaspoon (Not Ground Herbs, Your Own Combination- Rosemary And Marjoram, Thyme And Dill, Or Tarragon And Basil)
|1 Cup (16 tbs) (Can Be Low Fat)
|Egg/1/4 cup prepared egg substitute
Preheat the oven to 400° F.
Choose a heavy 11-by-7-inch pan or 10-inch cast-iron skillet.
Pour in the oil.
Sprinkle with garlic.
Put the pan on the range top on warm until the garlic sizzles and softens.
(This will also grease the pan.) Let the mixture cool to lukewarm while taking the next steps.
Sift together both flours with the baking powder and salt.
Stir in the herbs.
In a separate bowl, combine the milk and egg.
Scrape in all of the garlic and oil from the prepared pan, and whisk this together with the milk and egg mixture.
When ready to bake, pour the liquid ingredients into the dry, stir just enough to blend completely, and spoon the batter into the oiled pan.
Quickly use a spatula to level the batter, and bake the bread on the top shelf for 20 minutes, or until it's lightly browned and tests dry when pierced with a cake tester.

In summer and fall it's grasshoppers. In winter and spring when it's dry
it's something else. Not totally sure who the culpret is, but I strongly
suspect field rats. They were the cause year before last when it had been
dry and there was nothing green in the winter months. When I finally caught
one in a trap it was as large as a tree squirrel. At least so far they
aren't eating all the wiring they can find. It's not mice because a wire
basket is enough to prevent further damage and they would have no trouble
getting inside the wires. Not deer or I'd have seen the tracks. Might be
cottontails, but they hang around in the iris beds year round and don't
damage them. Also the dogs live and dream about chasing them. The damage
is way to widespread for them to have overlooked rabbits for that long.
Whole areas of the iris look like they've had a weedeater taken to them -
and a ragged job of it at that. Every day there is more damage. Can't win.
Beds that were filled up with oak leaves promptly get eaten when they are
cleared. This was a seedling from last year. That group hasn't had any
breaks at all from the time they were planted. Probably will have to wait
another year to see much bloom from them.

Very nice park on Watts Bar Lake. Great place to rent a boat and keep it at the dock just steps away from your campsite. Great pool, clean facilities. The majority of the campers are long term or even permanent residences but most all campers, trailers, or motor homes are reasonably well kept. I think many are over 10 years old so they must not enforce that rule. Close to grocery stores, restaurants, shopping. Very convenient to I-40. We enjoyed our stay at Caney Creek. - camper914

Best to pass this one by, fellow campers. Deafening loud road noise from I-40. Shower facilities and bathrooms are unsatisfactory. Campground generally is in disrepair. Unethical business owner. Did not return our deposit. This is with the new owner. - Long Term Campers

The price was way too high for what you got. There is no WiFi but it is advertized on their site. The women's restroom was nasty and had no toilet paper. Tent spaces are on grass but down a big hill. You have to park at the top and lug stuff. - VictoriaA

We camped here because it was late and other campgrounds were too expensive. Sites were very close together and in the dark it was very unattractive. The people in the fiver next to us slept with windows open in case anyone in the park decided to help themselves to any of his truck equipment. Ground very uneven. Several permanent trailers. Ladies' restroom satisfactory but men's restroom had no paper and one toilet rocked on its base. With our air running we could not hear the road noise. Power to our site went off shortly after our alarm clock at 7:15 AM. Would not stay here again by choice. It was a place to crash after a horrible day trying to get away on our month-long trip with our grandsons. - JamPad

Convenient to I-40, right off the exit, nice long level pull thru sites, although a bit close to each other. Limited TV, but digital had more channels, WiFi at site and worked great as did cell service. Mostly seasonal sites, but this is a good campground for a short stay or overnight stop.

My husband and I hit a pothole on I40, that damaged our truck, we were towed there at 0100 hrs and they accommodated us without any questions, we settled our bill the following morning, and they were so understanding and nice. We were there for 3 days while our truck was repaired and they did not make us move and just assured us that if we needed to stay longer it would not be a problem. When you are in a slight jam, nothing nicer than to be reassured you are ok there. Thank you to the driver from the towing company who recommended Soaring Eagle. - TravelRN3697

We've been RVing for nearly forty years and the Crosseyed Cricket has been in the campground guides for as long as I can remember. We've passed it many times in the past enroute to Gatlinburg so we decided to give it a try. What a joke (and disappointment). It's about 4 miles off I-40 and the roads are rutted gravel, the office is a gazebo. We arrived around 6:30 pm no one was there. We deposited our $25 in an envelope and set out to pick a site. There were only two left (and they were dirt. Thank Goodness it didn't rain or we would have been hung up). Bring bug spray. The guy beside us (along with his pet rabbit) was living (permanently) in an old VW Campmobile that didn't even run. Sorry, but I intend to pass this one up for the next 40 years! - hughdogg6
Apr 2013 - $27.00
The Crosseyed Cricket is slightly off the beaten path making for a quiet camping experience. It's really almost two parks with the upper park for primarily long-term residents. The lower part, which is not in view of the upper part, is mostly for those staying only for a few days. There are several pull-through and back-in sites, along with tent sites. We stayed in a pull-through site along a quaint creek. There are many ducks running around and a small playground consisting of swings, tetherball, and a 'log cabin' for the kids to climb on. There is also a fish-shaped swimming pool, but that was not yet open in April. Okay to stay there for a few days, particularly if you are primarily using it as a 'home base' for exploring the Knoxville area. Finally, follow the signs or web/phone directions into the park otherwise, your GPS might take you on a narrow single lane road. - Cap'n G

Small, cramped Park which may be a challenge for larger rigs, except for the three huge handicapped sites. The park is set in the side of a steep hill, so none of the sites are very level, except the handicapped ones, but they have done a pretty good job of getting as level as they can. The sites are small and very close together. Some sites are listed on the reservation form as having water, but it is just a common faucet at the bathroom. Despite these disadvantages, the entire Park is very pretty, with lots of trees. The nicest feature of the park is a swimming area with a small Sandy beach and a huge common picnic area with lots of shade and tables. I visited during labor day weekend, and it was quite roudy. Quiet hours were neither respected nor enforced, and there was loud partying past midnight. No wifi, but att and Verizon worked ok. - KAP99

This park is a joke. Their website claims 25 sites but I saw no more than 3. The two sites I had personal experience with had the sewer connections higher than the my dump valves. The grass was at least 6 inches high, no picnic tables, no rest rooms, no showers, no nothing! While we didn't detect any smells during our four days there, it sits approx. 500 yards from a sewage treatment plant. Avoid this place like the plague! - Silvano

This "RV"park seems like it was an after thought. The park is located behind a motel owned by the motel. It was one of the worst RV park I have stayed in and we have been RVing for 9 years. They have about 15 sites and about 11 or 12 long term residents. Most of them look like junk. My husband said the men's room was so dirty he wouldn't even use it. We will not stay here again. - Micki

Staff was friendly and helpful. Restrooms were clean although a bit dated. Entire campground was tidy. Perhaps the best part is that campsites were spacious and many right next to the lake. Views were incredible. Bring a kayak or canoe and enjoy paddling around the inlet. Also, there were a couple of really neat restaurants in the area. There was no sewer hook-up. Additionally, there weren't organized activities for children or teenagers (at least in the spring). I'm told Wi-Fi is available in the summer but it wasn't turned on in the spring. This was a negative for someone who unfortunately needs to check into the office online. Overall, the scenery is so wonderful that all other deficiencies melt away. I'd recommend it to others and would camp here again. - trillium

Shipping Weight:?0.18 lbsSwitch to Metric units
- Product Code: SNS-00247

- Package Quantity: 90 Tablets

- Dietary Supplement
- Molybdenum/Glutathione Complex
Chem-Defense is a synergistic nutrient blend formulated for the specific dietary needs of persons with chemical sensitivities. Recent scientific research indicates that molybdenum, a trace mineral which activates the enzymes aldehyde oxidase and sulfite oxidase, may provide necessary nutritional support for chemically sensitive individuals. Glutathione (GSH) is a key element of the liver's detoxifying process. Coenzymated vitamin B-2 is the precursor for FAD, a coenzyme which recycles used GSH. The benefit of the sublingual form is that it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream, via the blood vessels under the tongue and in the cheeks, allowing for quick entry into the system.
Suggested Use
1 to 3 tablets daily. Place tablet under the tongue and allow to dissolve slowly, altering the position of the tablet to avoid prolonged contact with the same area.
Other Ingredients
Sorbitol, mannitol, natural peppermint flavor, and magnesium stearate.
If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your health care professional before using this product.

Thumb down on Peppermint
Posted by Reviewer3023221 on Sep 16, 2015
Not sure if this is doing anything but can tell you the peppermint flavor is yuck!
Chemical sensitivities helped
Posted by Reviewer1599966 on Feb 09, 2013
Chem-Defense has helped my chemical sensitivities. I take it on an as needed basis plus a couple of other times a week. If I remember to take before shopping at a store, I often have no symptoms (headache, overwhelming fatigue, nausea, etc) or much reduced symptoms with a quicker recovery time. I have even forgotten to take it before going to shop and then taken it when I got home and my recovery was expedited. It's true the taste isn't great, but it's tolerable for me since it works so well in reducing debilitating symptoms. Be sure to allow it to dissolve slowly under the tongue. It's designed to absorb through the tissues under the tongue. Much of the benefit is lost if it is chewed.
Taste is just nasty!
Posted by PurplePegasus on May 21, 2012
It tastes more of orange than peppermint and it is just an awful, bitter taste. I tend to crunch it to make it go down faster, it's really terrible! I have no idea if it does anything. I have MCS and bought it to see if it helps with toxic chemical attacks wafting from neighbors but the truth is, every time that has happened I get so angry and irritable and panicked all at the same time that I forget to take this! I also read that molybdenum is supposed to help the liver so trying to take this daily to further help my liver detox.
Good alternative. Too bad about the taste
Posted by Reviewer1122052 on Jul 05, 2011
It was a good try for a sublingual form of gluthathoine and the price of the product is also very reasonable. Unfortunately, the tart taste of the gluthathoine is still over powering for me and the peppermint flavour hasn't been able to mask it well enough. Aside from that, if others are able to tolerate the taste, this is a very good alternative for consuming gluthathione. As we know it's poorly absorbed in the digestive tract so gluthanione in capsule or pill form will unlikely work. If you can't afford intravenous glutathione injections, or would rather not take NAC, then sublingual seems to be the only way left.
taste good
Posted by Reviewer3256810 on May 27, 2011
very effective because it is sublingual

Agal (accessory)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Agal)
"Agal" redirects here. For other uses, see Agal (disambiguation).
The agal (Arabic: عقال, 'iqāl: "bond" or "rope", in Hebrew: עיגול\Igul), also spelled iqal, egal or igal, is an accessory worn usually by Arab men. It is a black cord, worn doubled, used to keep the ghutrah in place on the wearer's head.[1]
It is usually worn by Arabs of the Arabian Peninsula (Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, south of Iraq, and the Gulf Arabs), with the exception of Yemen and Oman.
See also[edit]
It is said in Aswan Egypt that each band of an Agal represents 1000 family members of the wearer.

National property index up by 3% in Q3 of FY13
Mumbai: Despite weak buyer sentiment, the National Property Index went up by over 3 percent in the October-December quarter over the preceding three months last year, a survey has said.
National Property Index (NPI) is a weighted average of supply and prices across 11 cities.
Of the 11 cities in the apartment index, nine saw a marginal rise, while one recorded stable values and the other registered a small drop in the city index, leading property portal MagicBricks.Com said in its report titled PropIndex.
"Ghaziabad, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Pune, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Gurgaon and Noida witnessed a rise in city index values.
"On the other hand, Ahmedabad registered stable values and Bangalore remained largely stable with a small two percent drop in the index value during the October-December 2012 quarter," the report said.
The report observed that cities such as Ahmedabad, Hyderabad and Bangalore received greater demand for premium properties as compared to Delhi and Mumbai.
"This was due to a significant difference in capital values," it said.
According to the report, multi-storey apartments remained the most preferred property type across the country, where six out of 11 cities witnessed over 65 percent demand for multi-storey apartments, it said.
Further, residential property worth Rs 30-50 lakh registered maximum consumer demand of 24 percent. Affordable properties, in the price bracket of up to Rs 20 lakh, witnessed second highest demand at 16 percent, the report said.

Good question. The thought was that it was highly improbable to get a

Herb Benedict got one. ITS seeds have produced some real beauties, which are
stable; DB is not stable. I have a friend who has used DB seedlings in her
hybridizing programs--some great ones have been produced. (These are not on
the market. )
My suggestion: Get a DB seedling and go from there. I once had DB but it

ESPN predicts Lakers won't win title
From my most recent column:
A man named John Hollinger at ESPN.com uses a computer to play out the remainder of the NBA season 5,000 times – every day, no less – in an attempt to project what will happen.
Now, we know what you're thinking. This John Hollinger must be as personable as a paper clip.
Truthfully, we don't know anything about that, and it's not our business to say. We're not exactly the most colorful M&M in the bag, either.
But we do know that Hollinger's computer currently has the Chicago Bulls – and not the Miami Heat or Boston Celtics or your Lakers – winning the NBA title.
Chicago, Hollinger's PC predicts, has a 21.5 percent chance of being champion. The Lakers are next at 21.3 percent.

Deeplinks Blog posts about Fair Use and Intellectual Property: Defending the Balance
After months of study, European regulators have finally released the full and final proposal on Copyright in the Digital Single Market, and unfortunately it's full of ideas that will hurt users and the platforms on which they rely, in Europe and around the world. We've already written a fair bit about leaked version of this proposal, but it's worth taking a deeper dive into a particular provision, euphemistically described as sharing of value. This provision, Article 13 of the Directive, requires platform for user-generated content to divert some of their revenue to copyright holders who, the Commission claims, otherwise face a hard time in monetizing their content online. We strongly support balanced and sensible mechanisms that help ensure that artists get paid for their work. But this proposal is neither balanced nor sensible.
After eighteen years, we may finally see real reform to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act's unconstitutional pro-DRM provisions. But we need your help.
In enacting the "anti-circumvention" provisions of the DMCA, Congress ostensibly intended to stop copyright "pirates" from defeating DRM and other content access or copy restrictions on copyrighted works and to ban the "black box" devices intended for that purpose. In practice, the DMCA anti-circumvention provisions haven't had much impact on unauthorized sharing of copyrighted content. Instead, they've hampered lawful creativity, innovation, competition, security, and privacy.
The purpose of registered trademarks is to protect people. When you buy a bottle of Club-Mate, the trademark affords you some certainty that what you're buying is the product you already know and love and not that of a sneaky impostor. But when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) issues overly broad or generic trademarks, those trademarks do just the opposite: they can expose us to the risk of legal bullying. One recent round of bullying over a trademark on "invisible disabilities" has shown how a bad trademark can even be used to threaten people's right to assemble and express themselves online.
On October 11, 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court is scheduled to hear oral arguments in the long-running Apple-Samsung litigation. The issue is whether Apple, by virtue of having its design patents infringed by Samsung, is entitled to all of Samsung's profits made from the infringing phones (regardless of how much that design contributed to the value of the phone).
