commercials by the time they graduated. They have no control over what they see and what information they absorb. Often the child prefers to stay home and watch TV instead of going out and engaging in some physical activity. Television displaces productive activities such as sports‚ exercise‚ and even social activities. This in turn effects the child’s physical and mental growth. Television channels often broadcast content with violence & gore‚ obscenity and profanity‚ delusive information and

Adidas—Will Restructuring Its Business Lineup Allow It to Catch Nike? Overview Adidas’ 1998 acquisition of diversified sporting goods producer Salomon was expected to allow the athletic footwear company to vault over Nike to become the leader of the global sporting goods industry. Salomon had several businesses that adidas management viewed as attractive—its Salomon ski division was the leading producer of ski equipment; TaylorMade Golf was the second largest seller of golf equipment; and Mavic

IEEE SIGNAL PROCESSING LETTERS‚ VOL. 21‚ NO. 7‚ JULY 2014 829 Discrete Anamorphic Transform for Image Compression Mohammad H. Asghari‚ Member‚ IEEE‚ and Bahram Jalali‚ Fellow‚ IEEE Abstract—To deal with the exponential increase of digital data‚ new compression technologies are needed for more efficient representation of information. We introduce a physics-based transform that enables image compression by increasing the spatial coherency. We also present the Stretched Modulation Distribution‚ a

The Stock Market and Corporate Investment: A Test of Catering Theory Christopher Polk London School of Economics Paola Sapienza Northwestern University‚ CEPR‚ and NBER We test a catering theory describing how stock market mispricing might influence individual firms’ investment decisions. We use discretionary accruals as our proxy for mispricing. We find a positive relation between abnormal investment and discretionary accruals; that abnormal investment is more sensitive to discretionary accruals

minority. Some people say that affirmative action is justified as a way of making up for past discrimination. Although discrimination still exists in the United States today‚ as it does in the rest of the world‚ most African Americans entering the job market today‚ were born after the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Because of this‚ most African Americans have suffered little or no oppression in terms of slavery. When the Civil Rights Act was passed‚ its spirit was not one of reverse discrimination‚ but of

Keeping oceans young and productive: - Upwelling and Downwelling Oceans cover two thirds of our planet thus they can be regarded as one of the major factors in shaping this blue marble in space. But oceans just don’t result in varying gradient of humidity that gives rise to different vegetations and ultimately widely different biomes when coupled with other factors such as differential exposure to solar radiation‚ and inherent soil type. Oceans are living systems that themselves support numerous
