Economy of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...

I ran across this graph the other day when trying to figure out what goods (by value) that the US imports and exports. If anyone knows the answer to that question, please post it here. However, I keep thinking about this graph because it basically says that scientific and technical services are like food service work for the educated in that it employs more people than the % of total sales predicts it would.

I think it reflects the extent to which an industry is a "middleman". For example, manufacturing buys stuff, improves it, the resells it, but services don't typically buy as much. The number might be more interesting if the cost of goods were subtracted from the gross sales.
- Paul Buchheit

What Paul said, not to mention it sort of measures the efficiency that a given industry has in converting its "raw materials" into sales. Manufacturing: Very high efficiency turning raw materials into products / sales. Science? In products terms much lower yield per person hour of effort. Of course that doesn't measure "impact" (which would of course be a nightmare to attempt).

I love it! I love convertible clothing and anything with lots of zippers and buckles (even if they are extraneous).

Jess, do you play Final Fantasy games? (I ask because the character designer for the most recent ones is often criticized for sticking zippers and belt buckles everywhere...)

My (former) 1995 honda civic was apparently stolen from my youngest brother at gunpoint this weekend. Bye bye cute little Clare-y car. Thank goodness Bret is unhurt.

wow, harsh - car jacking?

Apparently... they took his cell phone too, so we can't call him to find out more details.
- Clare Dibble
Yikes!
- April Buchheit
Good thing they took his cell phone, too. You can activate the GPS and follow the car around the city. It's a shame he got a carjacker that can drive a stick. I've always thought having a manual transmission was a form of protection against theft/car jacking.
- Gabe
Apparently the 95 civic is the most stolen car in America. Seems strange to me. I thought they stole expensive cars.
- Robert Felty
Wow! Where did that happen?
- Paul Buchheit
@Robert Popular cars = Liquid market for parts. I once had a Honda Prelude alternator stolen overnight; felt like having a kidney stolen.
- Richard Chen
Paul, someone was waiting for him after he came out from closing the Blimpie's he works at. It sounds like the police have potentially found the car in "drivable" condition. We will see what happens, but if he gets it back,it is a vote in favor of having a POS version of the car (no air conditioning, for example).
- Clare Dibble
Where was this?
- Jim Norris
Dang
- Rodfather
This was near Phoenix, right?
- Gabe
I think this happened in Tempe, AZ, but definitely in the greater Phoenix area.
- Clare Dibble
Clare - A POS car doesn't necessarily help. Don't forget the time I found a guy trying to steal my POS 89 Escort at CWRU. Then again he wasn't a very good car thief since I was able to difuse the situation by telling him I needed to go o work.

- Melanie Hassel
I loved this show up until 2 days ago. I was watching the first disc of the 4th season and the last scene (I think it was the last scene) of the last episode was too much for me to take. I don't know if I can watch it again. I loved the first season though. Didn't really like the second, absolutely loved the third and was addicted, and now the 4th...
- Becca
@Becca: the 4th season was my favourite...which scene are you talking about? (you can hint to avoid spoilers)
- Louis Simoneau
Louis, it was the scene where 1 young lady made another lady bleed in front of Presbo and the youngins
- Becca
Ah, yes. Was it just the intensity of the scene that was too much or was there something you disagreed with?
- Louis Simoneau
I'm getting tired of cop shows which glorify police intimidation and trickery. I also think that the "war on drugs" is completely ridiculous.
- Robert Felty
Melanie - we were watching it with subtitles!
- Robert Felty
Hmm. Stick with it. I think you'll get the hang of it. It's a good series.

"In 1929, we introduced a new flavor of ice cream to bring a smile to people during the dark days of the Great Depression. That flavor was Rocky Road. Now, 80 years later, we're at it again."
- Clare Dibble
This seems like a good sign that the mood of the country is changing.
- Clare Dibble
I didn't know that about Rocky Road ice cream. That's very interesting.
- Maggie
I thought so too, Maggie. Did Gabe know that about Rocky Road?
- Clare Dibble
I knew they invented Rocky Road, but I doubt the Depression had anything to do with it.
- Gabe
Yeah, if they introduced it in 1929, it seems too early to be inspired by the depression.
- Clare Dibble
Too bad it's "Light", but it's a good promotional idea.

I recommend overexposing when shooting backlit subjects without flash.
- Gabe
Thanks for the tip Gabe. Are you referring to the picture at the Fish Hopper?
- Robert Felty
I don't know what a Fish Hopper is, but I'll assume yes. IMG_0449 and IMG_0445 are images that could use more exposure.
- Gabe
Is there a difference in quality between adjusting the exposure on the camera vs. editing the picture with a tool like Picasa after the fact?
- Robert Felty
It's always better to get it right in-camera. In this case, you would avoid noise in the shadow detail becoming visible when you lighten it.

It's nice to know the rocks are red as advertised, but is the amphitheater really two theaters?

There is just one amphitheatre. What led you to believe otherwise?
- Robert Felty
amphi = both; thus, amphi-theater must mean both theaters, right?
- Gabe
Maybe i should hang up my linguist hat Gabe, since I did not know that. I knew ambi, which is Latin, but not amphi, from the Greek.
- Robert Felty
Well, there are only 2 common English words that start with it (amphibian being the other one).
