...lines for every 100 people - the lowest rate anywhere in the world. That has left much of Africa reliant on satellites for its Web access. But they are costly to use and offer limited capacity. O3b - short for the "other 3 billion" around the world who are unable to tap into the Web - plans to deploy spacecraft more cheaply by orbiting them at lower altitudes than traditional satellites. That should also speed up connections...
Because of the critical importance of education, I will create a realistic teaching-certification requirement so outstanding people with many years of service and work have the opportunity to teach. I will increase service opportunities for the disabled community and also tap the wisdom and experience of our veterans and retirees for our service initiatives...
...mention sponsor's cash. Billboards for Barclaycard and Sony Ericsson, just two of the event's sponsors, lined the London venue. Keen to tap the sport's broad audience - pinstripe suits and polka-dot dresses figured among the sweat pants and sneakers in the crowd - Dan Mathieson, head of sponsorship at Barclaycard, even claimed "the fluidity and freedom of movement associated with free running mirror the key needs of Barclaycard customers."

Mark Kantrowitz, a financial-aid expert based in Pitsburgh, Pa., who runs the website Finaid.org, predicts that fewer than 5% of schools will do away with loans entirely. That's because the vast majority of schools don't have large endowments they can tap to supplement lower tuition revenue. Many still depend heavily on net tuition to pay for operating costs, including faculty salaries and facility maintenance. That may be especially true at public schools - which educate 75% of undergraduates in the U.S., compared with the Ivy League's 1% - as funds decrease substantially...
...here in Alaska we're sitting on billions of barrels of oil. We're sitting on hundreds of trillions of cubic feet of natural gas onshore and offshore. And it seems to be only the Republicans who understand that companies should be competing for the right to tap those resources, and get that energy source flowing into these hungry markets so that we will be less reliant on foreign sources of energy. In a volatile world, relying on foreign regimes that are not friendly to Americans, asking them to ramp up resource production for our benefit, that's nonsensical...
