But Haisley knows he must defend it . Larry the yellow Lab sleeps on a memory foam mattress . No one really knows what the recommendations are , but the theory is that it might be safer for a relatively inexperienced clerk to recommend denial rather than a grant . " We do not have a theory that reconciles all of these findings , " they admit.The study is the latest to suggest there 's something special about lefties . We alternate the meeting spot so no one from their side knows exactly where we 'll be . Well it 's AMD , and IBM on the server side , so it kind of evens out , " Ross said.The transistor advance is the latest twist in the microprocessor industry , which has seen dramatic shifts in fortune over the past couple of years.In the latest round , Intel is believed to be beating back AMD , which had been grabbing market share thanks to chips that were more powerful and efficient than Intel's.The past year has been rough on Intel and AMD shares as a price war chews into profits and gross margins at both companies.Intel shares , which closed at $ 20.53 on Friday , have fallen 5 percent over the past year , versus a drop of nearly 60 percent for AMD stock , which ended at $ 16.22.Industry progress is guided by Moore 's Law , the industry maxim laid down by Intel co-founder Gordon Moore in 1965 that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every two years or so.The current cutting edge of chip production is based on a manufacturing process that etches circuits just 65 nanometers across - - more than a thousand times thinner than a human hair.Intel has long planned to begin making chips with 45-nanometer circuits later this year , and it said last week it has successfully produced working processors on that scale , putting it on track to meet its timetable.But although the companies use Moore 's Law as a guide , the shrinking process is far from automatic.Each generation poses new challenges , and engineers are now dealing with such tiny sizes that they continually need to tweak basic elements of chip design.Last Friday 's developments involve replacing a silicon-based material used in one layer of chips since the 1960s with a substance based on hafnium , an exotic metal used in the nuclear industry.Ross said that although AMD has a much smaller research effort than Intel , its partnership with IBM had given it some tricks to keep it competitive . " I 'm the PR , " says Yildirim , and the PR goes two ways : At once , he is trying to redeem the name of the police department to Muslims and the reputation of Islam to police officers.Of course , the misunderstandings may also go every which way , even for Yildirim , a funeral director by trade who may or may not have become conversant in cop talk but who also does n't speak the languages of the majority of immigrant Muslims in New York.Arabs and South Asians form the largest immigrant groups among the city 's 600,000 Muslims , according to a Columbia University study - - and Yildirim , born in Germany to Turkish parents and educated at an Islamic high school in Istanbul - - knows only prayers and hellos in Arabic and no Urdu at all.He says that 's no problem - - " For Muslim culture you know everything about them because you believe in the same faith . " Taplin orders a coffee and cranes his neck toward the entrance , where , in the next few minutes , half of his little brigade trickles in : Bill Campenni , the retired Air National Guard fighter pilot ; his wife , Kathleen , the Canadian emigre who is now a U.S. citizen ; Diane Bonieskie , the retired schoolteacher ; Jeff Talley , who says he 's losing his aircraft repair job because it 's being outsourced to Mexico ; and Joe , who wo n't provide his last name or say what he does because " who knows who might get the information .
