...work is much more complex. There's still the roof, of course, but success is also measured by the freedom to pursue a lifelong passion, exploit a hidden talent or even try to save one small corner of the world at a time. No amount of success seems to scratch the itch; a survey by Netshare, a career site for high-earning executives, found that almost half its subjects are actively trying to transition into a new field...
...paradigm is MobiTV's adoption of the WiMAX standard, a.k.a. "wi-fi on crack." It combines unicast (a stream to a single user at a time, like the Internet) and broadcast, increasing capacity to allow higher data rates, two-way communication and so on.

The Persian King Xerxes becomes 9 ft. tall. In one scene a nubile oracle dances...
...Crimson rallied to tie the score. Seemingly lost when BC freshman forward Kelli Stack struck with 8:04 remaining in regulation and recaptured 12 seconds later when sophomore Jenny Brine answered the bell. There is only the untold struggle of co-captain Jennifer Sifers, who was almost a scratch after battling illness all day, suited up and not missing a shift on the second line or the second power play, even scoring Harvard’s first goal of the game on a highlight-reel, between-the-legs redirection to halve BC’s early two-goal lead...
