#7: Games : F.E.A.R. Extraction Point Highly Compressed |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
F.E.A.R. Extraction Point is an expansion pack for the horror themed first-person shooter computer and video game F.E.A.R., published by Vivendi Universal and developed by TimeGate Studios, rather than Monolith Productions, the developers of F.E.A.R.. It was released on October 24, 2006 for Windows and requires the full original game in order to be played. Also, a stand-alone single player demo has been previously released. This expansion owes its name to the game's ultimate goal for the player, to reach the extraction point and leave the city where the adventure takes place. Extraction Point adds new weapons, enemies, and single-player levels, but no new multiplayer content. Additional improvements were also made to the enemy artificial intelligence. The sequel to F.E.A.R., F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin, ignores the events of both expansion packs |

#16: E-Books : The Audacity of Hope - By Barack Hussain Obama |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
" The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream" is Barack Obama's second book, and it is his personal view of the direction that the United States needs to move in terms of the type of politics we practice. It is not a look at whether one should be liberal or conservative--though he certainly does speak to the liberal positions better than the conservative ones; but rather about moving away from the divisive politics which have become the norm in recent years. About the author:Barack Obama is one of the hottest political figures in the country,and the newly recruited President of USA. Precisely because Obama became President, The Audacity of Hope is an interesting read. I recommend The Audacity of Hope to anyone who hopes to understand Obama's self-proclaimed new style of politics. |

Identity Finder assists you in preventing identity theft by finding personally identifiable information and providing you with the ability to easily and quickly protect it before it is stolen. You can search many areas of your computer for private information and take action to secure it. Right now, social security numbers, credit cards, bank accounts, passwords, and other highly sensitive personal information are sitting idly on your computer leaving you and your family exposed to identity theft. You may not be able to find all the places it's hidden, but hackers and thieves know where to look. They have developed viruses, spyware, back doors and other malicious code to steal this information. Anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-spam don't offer in-depth searching to protect you and your family. Identity Finder goes deep, searching the computer to locate and secure potentially dangerous data - even when you don't know it exists. As a professional, you don't just have to look after yourself; you look after the private information of your employees and customers while complying with data leakage laws and privacy requirements. Identity Finder reduces the risk of data leakage by finding and securing private information, wherever it is hidden. As a power user, you want advanced control, more features, and the ability to deeply customize your experience with Identity Finder. The Professional Edition contains search and security features targeted towards power users and can be used on a single PC, in a small or home office. Anti-virus, anti-spyware, and anti-spam don't provide this level of security to protect you or your business. |

#19: E-Books : How Asia Got Rich by Edith Terry |
 |
| |
| The Author: ompeompe | 6 January 2009 | Views: 800 |
|
|
| |
A thoughtful and thought-provoking in-depth study of the economic evolution of Asian societies and cultures. This panaoramic work describes how Japan's centuries-old fascination with China has been a platform for its post-war growth strategy as well as a magnet drawing Japan back into a deeper relationship with Asia. The author argues that after years of self-imposed isolation Japan is actively seeking new alliances with its Asian neighbors that may ultimately supplant its Cold War pact with the United States. She tracks the enormous recent outpouring of Japanese investment and official assistance to Asia as part of longstanding efforts to enhance Japanese security. And she suggests that the culmination of these efforts has been the invention of a new capitalist ideology that runs counter to the convergence theories of free market capitalism and creates a powerful current against globalization. Edith Terry knows Asia. In this must read book she skewers many popular myths and reveals the true facts behind the Asian miracle. From the AuthorThe past 150 years in Asia looks very different if your optic is relations between China and Japan rather than the bilateral relations of either with the US. In "How Asia Got Rich," I have tried to take that history and bring it up to date, particularly in the context of Japan's Cold War and post-Cold War relations with the rest of Asia. The book is about the changing geopolitics of the region, and how Japan's struggle to find a new social and economic paradigm is bound up in its quest for a new role in Asia. |

#21: Music : DEEP PURPLE - Perfect Strangers (Remastered, MP3+TAB GUITARS) |
 |

|
|
| |
This album is a landmark for Deep Purple, and is aptly titled--the band was re united only by pressure from their public, making them no longer musical mates, but "Perfect Strangers." Not withstanding, the group were not strangers at all when it came to their common goal of making music. The sound of the musicianship on this album could not be immitated; every songs on this comeback album is too good.. Blackmore's trademark guitar is facinating, Glover's bass reaches brilliant madness, Gillan's barbed wire voice soars, as Jon Lord's organ is a highlight as usual, and drummer Ian Paice remains out of his head. A good rock album from the fathers of Rock ! The duelling soloes between Jon and Ritchie is way beyound great, and Roger's and little Ian's bass and drums keeps this train on the tracks. Big Ian's vocals are amazing, and this album proves that he is one of the greatest rocksingers of all time. And for being close to 25 years old, it still sounds great. A good music to introduce younger listeners to these guys...it's old, but not that old. Overall, the remastered PERFECT STRANGERS is one hard rock that you don't want to miss. |

Publisher: Scientific American, Inc Languange: English Number of Pages: 100 PDF: 3.26 MB ISSN: 0036-8733 Scientific American is a popular-science magazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience. For working scientists, especially in high-tech fields, there are only a few crucial nonjournal periodicals to pore over faithfully, and Scientific American is one of them--its timely and technical features on everything from paleoarchaeology to neural nets set it apart from popular science magazines like Discover. Scientific American emphasizes a wide variety of emerging technologies, giving scientists a chance to keep up in an increasingly specialized professional world. Innovative and controversial developments such as gene patenting and the latest from the unified field gurus are front and center in every issue. It's not all business, though--regular features like Michael Shermer's "Skeptic" column, enticing book reviews, brain-busting puzzles, and James Burke's intellectual-historical meanderings add browsability to this enduring magazine, in business reporting the frontiers of scientific exploration for more than 150 years. |

It is a suspense novel written by American author John Grisham published in the United States on January 11, 2005. The novel follows the story of Joel Backman, a newly-pardoned prisoner who had tried to broker a deal to give the world's most powerful satellite surveillance system to the highest bidder. The book has been hailed by some critics as a return to form for Grisham, while others lament it as a mere "trip to Italy" put into fiction form. A New York Times book review claimed that the description of an outgoing president who was "an idiot...but a clean one" seemed to be referring to President Bush, or perhaps to Bill Clinton's infamous last-minute presidential pardons in 2001. Nevertheless, The Broker made number one on the New York Times Best Seller list. In the waning days of his failed four-year term as President of the United States, Arthur Morgan is performing those final duties associated with leaving office. Among those chores are reviewing requests for presidential pardons. The Director of the CIA makes a rare visit to the White House to suggest that Joel Backman, a former powerful Washington Beltway lobbyist who has spent six years in prison, be released. The President accedes to the wishes of the Director, and Backman finds himself hurriedly whisked from the prison and relocated in Italy (first in Treviso, then in Bologna) under an assumed name. |
