...booming economies in China and India, retail sales of diamond jewelry have been surging for a decade. Analysts expect up to 20% annual growth in the diamond market in China alone. With current mine capacities, that translates to a potential $10 billion worth of unmet demand by 2015--a gap that man-made diamonds could soon help fill. In support of the nascent field, last month the Gemological Institute of America, the leading grader of diamonds, agreed to rate synthetic diamonds on the same four Cs--carat, cut, color and clarity--used to evaluate natural diamonds.

Though the Crimson took the first three points of the game, the Highlanders strung together a series of kills to open up a 16-11 gap.

Many of the report’s anonymous quotations...
...this is a double-edged sword. As much as his biracial identity has helped Obama build a sizable following in middle America, it's also opened a gap for others to question his authenticity as a black man. In calling Obama the "first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy," the implication was that the black people who are regularly seen by whites - or at least those who aspire to the highest office in the land - are none of these things. But give Biden credit - at least he acknowledged Obama's identity...
