This journey is just part of a way of living that may arise from a new computing model known as the grid. This term, borrowing from the concept of the electrical-power grid, refers to a linkage of many servers into a single system in which complex computing tasks are broken down and parceled out among the various machines. According to its founders such as Ian Foster of Argonne National Laboratory and Carl Kesselman of the University of Southern California’s Information Sciences Institute, the grid was created to do work previously possible only with supercomputers, making such complex tasks much quicker and less costly....

Although the humblest widgets get patented and the most forgettable songs have copyrights, clothing is considered functional, not artistic, so most countries keep it in the public domain. ““That doesn’t mean you can break into a plant and steal a design,’’ says New York University Law School professor Rochelle Dreyfuss. ““But if you see a Chanel suit and get out your sewing machine and fabric, the state protects your right to copy it....

Emerson College, a private college in Boston, conducted the poll in conjunction with 7 News. The college is conducting a continuous poll of New Hampshire voters in the eight days leading up to the state’s primary election on Tuesday, February 11. Poll respondents were asked, “Regardless of who you’re going to vote for, who do you think is going to be the Democratic nominee?” About 40.5 percent of New Hampshire voters polled said that they believed Sanders would be given the Democratic Party nomination and go on to face President Donald Trump in the November general election....

These days Mendoza is doing even better. Of Argentina’s 26 provinces, it’s one of the few that is flourishing. That’s a relative term in a country that suffered through a major depression in 2001 and 2002, but the province is showing that some places in woebegone Argentina can manage their debt, attract foreign investors and create jobs. Though remote, Mendoza boasts one of Argentina’s lowest unemployment rates (9.3 percent, 40 percent lower than the national figure of 15....

Amsterdam? Maybe. But Tokyo? Long known for its no-nonsense drug enforcement, Japan is in the midst of a psychedelic summer. Most of the fantasy fuels remain legal because of loopholes in local drug laws. Even contraband is easily procured. Nearly every weekend barefoot ravers flock to the slopes of Mount Fuji to trip all night and view the peak at dawn. Could this be the country that jailed Paul McCartney in 1980 for stashing marijuana in his guitar case?...

While From the New World is just as obscure, or perhaps more obscure than Ghost Hound, that doesn’t make it bad. Many obscure anime are hidden gems. This anime might not be for viewers who want an anime with action all the time, but it is absolutely worth the watch. Viewers who are focused on the typical action coming of age story might prefer something like My Hero Academia instead....

California preparer Carol Thompson tells of clients who were dunned $9,000 by the IRS when they outspent their earnings on luxuries. The IRS grilled the couple on their restaurant meals, vacations, clothes and cars, and measured them against Labor Department household-spending data that pegged the couple as high earners. But they weren’t tax cheats; they were just big spenders, buying the good life on credit cards and not with taxable income....

From a business perspective, the patch have been a huge success, breaking all previous records for a new prescription product. In seven months, the three currently available brands–Habitrol, sold by Ciba-Geigy; ProStep, by Lederle Laboratories, and Nicoderm, by Marion Merrell Dow–have raked in sales of $480 million, with $1 billion expected by the end of the year. Demand has been so intense that manufacturers can’t keep up with it–and a fourth brand, Nicotrol, made by Parke-Davis, will make its debut July 15....

He was talking about his back, not his game. One day into his most recent return from injury, that’s what mattered to him. Woods opened with two straight bogeys, made five more bogeys in a seven-hole stretch around the turn at tough Congressional and finally found his groove late in the opening round of the Quicken Loans National for a 3-over 74. Woods was tied for 83rd — only 19 players had a higher score — and he will have to score better Friday if he wants to avoid missing the cut for the first time in two years....

The answer, they decided, was to be together. They spent a year studying Scripture on their own and setting up house in a cozy trilevel in the suburbs. They found a new church, where they attended Bible study, joined prayer groups and went to potluck suppers at the pastor’s house. They remained closeted at first, but last spring they called the pastor with a brave request. They were lesbians, they told him, and they wanted, finally, to live their Christian lives honestly....

What the 29-year-old Welshman does have is a gorgeous, unforced voice that can produce anything from a feral growl to a shimmering, baby’s-breath pianissimo, and an infectious stage presence. He moves with an athlete’s grace and energy. Trade the Manchester United soccer-team cap he wears offstage for a Dallas football helmet and he’d look right at home on the Cowboys’ front line. Audiences respond not just to his musicianship, but to his naturalness and his sexiness....

Christmas Eve, 2005: We were sitting outside our bunkers enjoying a stoagie and trying to watch a movie. There were about 45 of us. The excitement began just as the movie started. A guard post called out to say that they had aggressors moving toward our perimeter wall. I heard a single pop out to the Northeast, then the shooting began. AK-47s and M-16 machine guns rang out close by as our guys exchanged fire with the enemy....

Up to this point, Warriors games have mostly been centered around swords, lances, and magic, or fantasy-themed settings in general. While some titles like Persona 5 Strikers have ventured away from this, Metroid and its sci-fi elements would be a true departure from the norm. Rather than getting up close and personal to enemies, Samus and others could take out waves of baddies from afar. There’s a great deal of potential for a Metroid Warriors, and this sort of change could open the door for even more Warriors games....

That first Mustang was the result of some of the first mature market research data analysis Ford conducted. “Marketing research said that there was a new generation coming of age. They had their own music with The Beatles and The Stones and the Beach Boys,” Ted Ryan, Ford archives and heritage brand manager told Newsweek at an event before the Detroit auto show. “They wanted their own cars. There were more double income families, more two car families....

This dangerous doorway can be found at the Karst Salt Mine, one of the new locations that came added with the Verdansk 84 map. A visual redesign of the Karst River Quarry, the area now features mounds of salt and some different terrain for players to fight on. While some of the buildings maintain their layouts, a few have seen some changes. One of the Mine’s buildings now holds a closed door, and Rxelik_ found that it seems to have a mind of its own....
