I know the brick and mortars like best buy and nordstrom are pleased with their etail results this season... the expectations were low and in some cases its saving the customer service costs that matter most.

What I'm trying to determine now is whether the high-tech layoffs have stopped. I know there are still a bunch of layoffs but technology specifically..? We should start seeing stabilization in silicon valley.

A handful of desperate mojahedin soldiers scavenged for scraps of metal among the dozens of unexploded, yellow, cylindrical anti-personnel bomblets scattered across the hillside. On a second sheet of green metal casing nearby an American soldier named Gary had scribbled his own brief marking before loading the cluster bomb into the hold of one of the B-52s.
