Obama Needs a Health Care Plan Before he Engages the Public
2009-09-23 01:33:00 Perhaps the most telling comment in today’s Washington Post roundup of the reaction or various “political experts” to the President’s “medis offensive” on health care this weekend was this comment from Lanny J. Davis, Special Counsel to President Bill Clinton from 1996 to 1998, one of the two Democrats surveyed: Now it is time for him ...

European Missile Plan Robert Gates VIDEO
2009-09-19 21:01:00 European Missile Plan Offers Better Defense, Gates Say,s By Fred W. Baker III American Forces Press Service.WASHINGTON, Sept. 17, 2009 ? Changing threats and emerging technologies drove the decision to restructure the European missile defense plan, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said today.?I believe this new approach provides a better missile defense capability for our forces in Europe, for our European allies and eventually for our homeland than the program I recommended almost three years ago,? Gates said in a briefing at the Pentagon. ?It is more adapted to the threat we see developing and takes advantage of new technical capabilities available to us today.?In December 2006, Gates recommended to then-President George W. Bush that the United States should put advanced radars in the Czech Republic and 10 ground-based interceptors in Poland.Marine Gen. James E.

Presumptuous of President to Push Health Care Without a Plan?

ISRO Plan To Launch Satellites To Facilitate Rural India – Is Immedia
2009-09-07 14:53:00 Something from the outer space, International Space Station and Discovery shuttle will soon get back from space after they accomplish their new mission. And, this time they’re out there to collect a ton of space station junk, surplus gear and completed science experiment apparatus. On the other side India’s maiden moon mission Chandrayaan I is still collecting data and analysis about what went wrong. Apparently its going to take another couple of years, may be. ISRO Chairman G. Madhavan Nair said, “We had anticipated some problems at the beginning and wanted to complete important experiments much earlier. About 95% of data collection has been completed and analysis will take another six months to two years.” After ISRO’s launch of Bhuvan, India’s version of Google Earth there has been hardly any progress from their end. Recently ISRO announced that they’ll design a satellite for villages to get connectivity. More than about 50,000 villages out ...

Yahoo To Launch Meme To Fight Down Twitter – Is There A War Plan?
2009-09-07 07:09:00 It is sad that Yahoo, which is one of the earliest success stories on the Internet is fighting a slew of property shut downs lately. Yahoo had been an early mover in so many things that are sustaining the internet today. They launched email more than 12 years back and though they have sustained to be a leader today in this segment, other properties have not been so lucky. Geocities could have been today’s Wordpress, Delicious could have been the link sharing service that Twitter is now known for. Amidst all of this, Yahoo continues to launch new products and the latest in this is Yahoo Meme which was launched in English this week. Yahoo Meme is supposed to be a competitor to Twitter and the outright verdict is that it is doomed for the ‘deadpool’ sooner or later. Why? Simply because the launch has come a tad too late – Twitter is already mainstream, they have over 44 million registered users, and have a zillion apps that makes Twitter all the more useful. But...

80% Urban Indians Plan Holidays Via Travel Portals – Are The Best Day
2009-08-31 07:28:00 When was the last time you booked a ticket using one of the online travel portals like MakeMyTrip or Yatra? Even if you think that was long time back, chances are high that you used them at least to check on the prices or ticket availability. That’s because an overwhelming majority of urban Indians do it that way. A new study by Nielsen shows that nearly 80 percent of Indians plan their holidays using online travel portals. “Indians” is a broad generalization here, because the study covered 842 metro, Internet-savvy Indians who had traveled by air in the past one year. I s**k at statistics, yet I think it is fair to say that this is a very small sample that just accounts for a small minority of the entire sample set. Nevertheless, assuming that we are only talking about metropolitan Internet-savvy people, the study still throws numbers of high significance. Here are some more numbers from the study – 77% of those surveyed had used the travel portals for airl...

Ricketts Plan for Wrigley
2009-08-26 16:33:00 Crain's Chicago Business has a story up regarding the Rickett's family's plans for Wrigley Field once they complete their deal to buy the Cubs from Tribune Company. As I reported a week ago the deal is done and will be approved by Major League Baseball shortly after the World Series. Many fans are speculating that the first thing that Tom Ricketts does as the new owner is to clean house but sources close to the situation tell me that they do not expect immediate changes. Instead, they expect the family to assess every aspect of the team from an inside perspective both on and off the field before they implement the changes that they have been considering since they first...

Ricketts' plan for rickety Wrigley
2009-08-25 22:33:00 We're starting to get a sense of the direction Tom Ricketts may take the Cubs. Earlier today ESPN 1000 reported that Ricketts plans to retain team president Crane Kenney -- an old Tribune hand. That would seem to bode well for GM Jim Hendry and the rest of the front office. And Crain's Sr. Reporter Mike Colias has gained some insight on Ricketts' plans for cramped, crumbling, revenue-under-generating Wrigley Field. Ricketts is likely to wait four or five years before undertaking a major ballpark renovation. It may take him that long to figure out how to pay for it. What he's planning may surprise you. Check it out....

Durbin open to health bill without public plan
2009-08-09 20:22:00 Senator Dick Durbin (R-Ill.) always has been a political realist, and he's showing it again by broaching what most progressive adherents of health reform would consider to be anathem: a package without a government-run plan. (The story is here.)"I support a public option, but, yes, I am open" to a bill without it," Durbin told CNN.This, of course, is more than a local story, because Durbin, as the Democratic Party's whip, is the second most powerful person in the Senate. Is Durbin relaying a signal from the Obama White House that perhaps all is not going as well as hoped, and is willing to negotiate a package not as extravagent as originally proposed? Or is it a signal to the...

Plan to Travel with Travelgrove

Obama’s health care plan is a step in the right direction
2009-08-03 16:50:00 I have yet to hear an articulate and well-reasoned argument for why we should delay in passing significant health care reform. In fact, it seems that most Republicans and right-wingers are motivated by a desire to see this administration fail and so they have decided to, once again, scare Americans into complacency with misinformation and outright lies. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Their entire movement isn’t about offering solutions and can be summed up with the image of people who are claiming Obama wants to kill your grandma. Make no mistake, the people organizing this nonsense (read: lobbyists for insurance companies and hospital conglomerates) know they are full of shit. In contrast, the people on the ground are just easily led. They are simple fools who can’t understand the merits of our President’s plan. Which begs the question: Are conservative radio talk show hosts the ones to blame? Or are we at fault for not presenting a clear and persua...
Time to Plan Fall Foliage Travel
2009-08-01 21:39:00 Our parking lot, September 27, 2008With all the rain and cool temps, it seems like we haven't started summer yet so fall has to be far off. And, while we have about two months before the fall season rolls in, planning for it should be started. Looking at our reservation book, I can see the early birds have been calling steadily already. We are far from full in late September and early October but we are close enough now that you should make lodging reservations very soon for the last week in September and first two weeks of October (maybe a week later in southern Vermont). Fall foliage is our busiest time of year and if you want to find a place to stay, especially on weekends, you should decide now. That's not true just for us - every inn and motel is filling in their most popular rooms. You can wait until the last minute if you must, but you will get either the smallest or the most expensive rooms as options. And I certainly would not drive or fly here without having your lodging...
How To Avoid Getting Kidnapped In China. Plan In Advance Or Go Home.
2009-07-29 02:47:00 The other day, in a post entitled, "China Hostage Situation. Now IS A Good Time To Pay Your Debts," I wrote about some U.S. executives who were being held hostage in China over nonpayment of a business debt. Their US based company had gone bankrupt and when they went over to China to explain all this to their Chinese suppliers, they were taken hostage. I have since learned that they were eventually released, though I do not know whether a payment precipitated that release or not. My friend Shaun Rein, of The China Market Research Group just came out with an article for Forbes, entitled, "How To Avoid Getting Kidnapped In China." Shaun's thesis is that if you are going to do business with another company in China, you should find an "uncle" first who will be able to mediate any disputes that might arise between the two of you: Before entering a partnership with a Chinese company, you should find an "uncle"--a person both parties trust who will be able to mediate differences.

Is Stan the man with the Blackhawks plan?
2009-07-25 19:59:00 Boy, Martin Havlat must really be pissed now. Evidently, the Blackhawks opted not to re-sign the oft-injured Havlat in favor of the injured Marian Hossa. Ya see, Marty, you are just too unpredictable for a long-term commitment. Heck, if they don't bring back the Cup this year, Hossa will have 11 more years to lead the Hawks to glory. Right? Let's recap the splashy free agent pick-ups of the last two offseasons. The Hawks have aquired an overpriced offensive defenseman whose costly turnovers equal his goal output, a high-priced goaltender whom nobody trusts, and an injured winger who signed the most lucrative contract in franchise history. Sounds like enough to get a GM fired. Or, is it the flip...

Obama health plan is the moral thing to do
2009-07-23 19:52:00 President Obama is doing the morally correct thing with universal health care. As a cancer survivor, my bills were well over $150,000. Battling seminoma cancer, as well as the side effects of chemo and steroids, was terrible. The hospital and oncology bills were probably worse. If I didn't have Anthem Blue Cross / Blue Shield, I probably would have died from cancer complications . Garrard McClendon after surgery. After surgery on my chest to remove the tumor, I also sufferred a paralyzed vocal cord. A silicon implant had to be placed near my Adam's apple to restore my speech. Adequate healthcare shouldn't be based on income, class, race, or neighborhood. Everyone deserves the best in medical treatment, and Obama is just...
Obama’s Health Care Plan – Now is the time
2009-07-23 04:51:00 http://www.flickr.com/photos/se-iuhealthcare775nw/ / CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” – Margaret Mead The health care system in this country has been broken for a long time. President Obama is doing something about it. We must help him make a difference. Health care is the most important issue facing America today. The reason? Almost everyone knows someone who is uninsured. Almost everyone knows someone who has had to declare bankruptcy due to rising health care costs. Almost everyone knows at least someone who cannot afford his/her meds. And almost everyone knows someone who’s uninformed and scared of what he doesn’t understand. As this issue affects more and more people, more and more people want to see a solution. Not next session. Not next year. Now. Senators Nelson and Martinez need to know that we stand with the President on Healt...

However, while Ford calls the following press release "global", it's clearly American-centric. There's a lot happening in Europe and the far east, and very little has been said about that.

I NEED a plan that helps
2009-07-16 04:11:00 Long story. The answer should be simple, but I just can't see it. Perhaps you can read this and help me figure it out? I've survived over nine years of chronic suicidal thoughts and depression. I've tried every medication possible. A few of them help. They don't completely get rid of my depression or my suicidal thoughts. In fact, I often find myself suicidal without the companion of depression. Odd. Anyway, I've learned to manage my depression and have tried to live a normal life to the best of my abilities. Last year I moved from California to New York and have been very isolated since that move. I have a wonderful boyfriend and he has two wonderful kids, but he's not very social so he hasn't been able to introduce me to anyone. I'll get to the point…..I finally have a wonderful life despite my horrible depression and suicidal thoughts and I recently found myself sabotaging the whole thing because I didn't know for sure wh...

2009-07-13 12:00:00 Despite the cravings that can accompany pregnancy, it can be challenging for women who are expecting or nursing to focus on maintaining a balanced diet that is crucial for the health of a baby. It can take a lot of effort to research the foods that are beneficial and those to avoid, and who wants to do that when exhausted from pregnancy or caring for a brand new baby. A new brand of food just for pregnant women, takes the thought out of nutrition in pregnancy.

Cyber Cafe Owners Irked Over Proposed Fingerprint Plan
2009-06-29 15:51:00 It looks like terrorism is playing havoc with cyber cafe business these days.Earlier it was responsible to introduce stringent rules regarding user information for record purposes, now it has taken it a step forward with recent police proposal of making fingerprint compulsory in cyber cafe’s. Mumbai police recently chalked out a plan to make fingerprint scanners mandatory at internet cafes further increasing its control over cyber cafe’s. The talks have already started between cafe owners and police to discuss nitty-gritty of the proposed plan. This certainly seems to have irked cafe owners as they are already reeling under current stringent rules regarding recording of user information and this would only make things tough for them. There are currently 1000 unauthorized cyber cafes in the Mumbai city apart from 800 registered cyber cafes.The proposed regulation could also have drastic effect on cafes across India as passing mustered in Mumbai would mean possible appliance of r...

Massive Action Plan - Creating a Massive Action Plan to Grow Your Business
2009-06-29 08:54:00 How many of us try to get things done on a daily basis only to feel like you are spinning your wheels and are not really getting anywhere? Our tasks are trying to bring us to completion of our goal.Realize that most of society lives like this. It is only a very small percentage of people that get the outcome they desire. Those small percentage know a very important rule. That is, you must have a massive action plan set in place for yourself if you are to succeed in getting yourself where you want to be.Think of a massive action plan as your M.A.P. Without it, you will stay lost and continue to spin your wheels.First thing to do in creating this for yourself, is to focus on your outcome.Finding a way to make it happen, changing your mindset to be "results" oriented rather than "task" oriented can be the difference between achieving the results you desire or not, hence spinning your wheels.Make sure to write your goals, purpose and massive action plan.
