"When a window is open on the bus -- one of the emergency ones, not one of the small ones at the top -- how do you close it? I try to pull it back and jam it in. I don't know if you should push the red handle down or up. It doesn't seem to matter. How can it close?"The CTA responded: "Due to safety concerns, the CTA prefers that customers report the open window to the bus operator. The CTA's NOVA and New Flyer buses have the same window latches. There is a red handle emergency latch...

Yahoo Closes Down SpotM – What Will Yahoo Close Next?
2009-09-01 12:28:00 Yet another day and Yahoo decides to close down yet another of its properties. After Yahoo 360, another social network, SpotM –  the India specific website that was never out of private beta has now closed. So, what was exactly happening on the website? Yahoo claims it was just an experiment of their communications product. It was targeted at the 16-24 crowd and offered a few features that are not otherwise available on Orkut and Facebook – the ability to set friends as private, SMS integration which allowed users to communicate via SMS without actually having to know the recipient’s mobile number. SpotM was never promoted, was never out of private beta and yet closed down on the eve of its completion of one year. The timing of the closure does make it look like an organized experiment, the learnings of  which Yahoo could be carrying forward in its other new social offerings, like the upcoming Yahoo Meme. But what looks more likely is the consolidation that has ...

Question: how close are the Bulls to the luxury tax?
2009-07-08 06:35:00 Answer: Very. The NBA tonight completed its annual audit, and released the salary cap and luxury tax numbers for the 2009/10 season. The National Basketball Association today announced that the Salary Cap for the 2009-10 season will be $57.7 million. The tax level for the 2009-10 season has been set at $69.92 million. Any team whose team salary exceeds that figure will pay a $1 tax for each $1 by which it exceeds $69.92 million. The 2008-09 Salary Cap was $58.68 million and the tax level was $71.15 million. Although league-wide revenue increased 2.5% this past season, the decrease in the Salary Cap and tax level for the 2009-10 season is the result of the formula used to set...

Friday to close lower?
2009-04-22 16:00:00 So sorry to have disappeared for days. I was busy preparing for the upcoming TraderFest for our graduates. Other than the usual stock pickings and analysis, we are going to reinforce those trading principles and concepts in this one day event. It should be quite a spectacular event... 100 participants with laptops! Hope we don't trip the whole suntec.. hahaThe last sector which showed strength has pulled back, the commodities. The rest of the stocks are resting near the support levels. Ta pi the gap down on Tuesday is still fresh on everyone's mine. The neutralisation of bearish divergence may have taken place by the sharp sell down and gap down. It is now of interest to watch if market will resume the uptrend. If it does, one of the sector should be leading it, and if so, my money will be on the next sector!On the other hand, we have been up for almost 6 weeks? time to pull back? The odds is thus stacked heavily on a lower closing on Friday. Hmm.. how to make full use o...
Should We Close Our Service Academies And War Colleges?
2009-04-19 22:01:00 Thomas Ricks believes that we should shutter West Point and the other service academies because they’re expensive and, as far as he can tell, they produce no better officers than ROTC. Plus, their instructors don’t have PhDs, making them essentially junior colleges. So says James Joyner. Frankly, I think it fairly safe to wonder if Ricks isn’t harboring some sort of anti-military bias, given his body of work. He got the Surge so staggeringly wrong, for example, one wonders how anyone would give him credit on getting so radical a change as eliminating West Point, right.   The Gamble is the most recent book of his I’ve bothered with. You pretty much knew what you were dealing with when he opened, approvingly with the Jack Murtha narrative of Hadditha. I’m forced, with these and several other brushes I’ve had with the man’s work, to conclude that what we’re dealing with here is leftist with all of the attendant political baggage… to ...

My opinion is market to close higher on Friday
2009-03-12 16:01:00 I had to cut my loss in Dow last night. No good... 7.2k would be a better short. I was too early and tempted by greed. Each time when i build up good profits, i tend to take risk... this is something i must stop doing! Imagine i shorted at 6.8k and have to cover 6.9k thereabts. 100 points loss... ouch! Must be NOL.... keep tugging at my Achilles thus affecting my thinking process. Even with Wednesday's closing, i am still not too sure where the market may be heading.I painted two scenarios:a. It was an intra-week rebound. If so, i would expect market to keep falling and the volume to be great. But it is not so. Thursday we didn't close too badly and some of the stocks remained firm. Hence Scenario A may be wrong.b. This is just a rebound week and next week we will turn down. If it is a rebound week, by Friday we should close white candle on the weekly chart. But next week? How would i know if next week gonna close lower or higher? This i draw conclusion that we are ...
Exclusive: Up Close with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and his event at USF St. Peter
2009-03-02 00:42:00 Today, I had the pleasure of seeing an NBA legend come to my town of St. Petersburg, Florida. He came to the University of South Florida, St. Petersburg Campus, to talk about his book, On the Shoulders of Giants: My Journey Through the Harlem Renaissance, among other things. If you didn't recognize the author, I'm talking about Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The Event The event began with an introduction to Kareem and then Kareem came and started talking about his story. He explained many things about basketball and its history. Something he said a couple of times: the Harlem Globetrotters are not from Harlem, they were from Chicago. New York's team was the Harlem Rens. After he talked about that, he let people ask questions. Questions ranged from his regrets, his feelings on education and what he's looking forward to in life. Besides seeing Kareem, I also got a chance to see some people with stories as well. A guy named Art Bruno was there, who played against Kareem in elementary scho...
