CTA rider inconvenienced by route change
2009-11-03 21:08:00 Pam Smith of Westmont wrote to "Going Public" with a complaint about her bus route. CTA contact information can be found here."I ride the No. 121 to Union Station for my evening commute. The drivers have been catching Hell by riders because they've been told to use the Randolph Street ramp to get to Upper Wacker.On a good day, with a good driver, this adds an additional five minutes to the ride. On bad weather days and days when traffic is heavier than usual, the ride can be extended by up to 25 minutes.What I would like to know is if there is a SPECIFIC person that can be enundated with complaints from riders who are inconvenienced by this change?I...

Quinn and Tollway: No decision, yet, on Route 53 extension
2009-08-14 11:30:00 Representatives for Governor Quinn and for the Illinois Toll Highway Authority informed Godless in Chicago, yesterday, that no decision has been made, yet, regarding the proposal to extend Route 53 north into and through Lake County. However, I have more information from them, below. As indicated in this post from Wednesday, the extension of Route 53, from Lake-Cook County Line Road near Buffalo Grove, to Illinois Route 120 near Grayslake, and then east to the Tri-State Tollway (Interstate 94) near Waukegan, is an extremely high priority to drivers in the area. This missing highway link, for which the right-of-way has already been reserved, not only affects drivers in Lake County, but also in northern Cook County as well. By having a cork in the roadway network at the current end...

I've been invited to the news conference. I don't do ambush interviews, where I ask a question that the speaker may not be prepared to answer. I'd rather have the speaker do some research and provide me with an answer that addresses my question. I've submitted, in advance through Pat Quinn's top press aide, a question regarding the long-awaited extension of Route 53 from near Buffalo Grove through Lake County. I asked the press aide the following question, and communicated to him the following premises upon which the question is asked:...
MTNL Now Dials Franchise Route For Its WiMax Services
2009-08-07 13:07:00 Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL), a PSU Telco based in Mumbai and Delhi has sought initial bids for franchise agreement of its Wireless Broadband services utilizing Wi-Max Technology. Earlier it invited EoI (expressions of interest) for a similar franchise route of its 3G operations. WSJ reports that the aspired deal will be on a revenue-sharing basis akin to its previous 3G franchise agreement although very less details are available for sharing agreement of  miscellaneous  revenues accruing from such operations. The recent franchise route further showcases the inability of PSU Telco’s to leverage and market new age communication products to their advantage. BSNL and MTNL were given 3G and Wi-Max Licenses ahead of their private counterparts but has largely been unsuccessful in gaining first mover advantage in 3G and Wi-Max services. MTNL reportedly had only 1000 subscribers for its 3G operations till recently. Terms of agreement? The bidders should provide ...

Johnson and Johnson Takes the Mobile Route to Brand its Vision Care Product
2009-08-04 20:08:00 Johnson and Johnson’s vision care has introduced a mobile application with the intention of engaging customers for its Acuvue brand. The app basically goes on the lines of lifestyle value add and revolves around water intake. It analyses the daily water intake requirement of a user and also sends reminders to drink water at regular intervals. According to the report on Afaqs.com, the widget is programmed such that it keeps track of the number of glasses consumed and provides an update on water intake at the end of the day. I don’t install apps on my mobile, but I am very curious to know how the widget can keep track of the number of glasses of water I consume, unless there is a manual action I perform (which seems to be the case really, but the words paint a different picture don’t they?). However, an interesting tool nevertheless. How is it related to contact lenses though? Claims the company – The aim is to create a subtle analogy through water intake betwe...

MTNL To Dial ‘Franchise’ Route For 3G Success
2009-07-17 12:54:00 Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Ltd. (MTNL), a PSU Telco based in Mumbai and Delhi has invited expressions of interest from Indian and foreign companies to run its 3G services on a franchise based agreement. MTNL along with BSNL received 3G licenses ahead of their competitors. MTNL has so far not seen much success in the 3G arena. They have set an ambitious target of 200,000 to 300,000 users for its 3G services in the first year of operations. It has been able to garner only few hundred users for its 3G services despite getting a first mover advantage in 3G services. 3G license allocation has seen hue and cry over past few years with the matter getting delayed every now and then. Government fixed the base 3G license prices at Rs 4040 crore and is expected to go for 3G license allotment in 2009 itself. Terms of Arrangement for bidders: The agreement will be on a revenue-sharing basis and the deal would imply franchisee deal for 10 years. The deal will be reviewable after the end of the t...

Nightly Ramble: The Route 66 Edition
2009-04-10 22:05:00 Welcome one and all to the most intense nightly read anywhere on the ’sphere… The BitsBlog Nightly Ramble This is the Route 66 edition Why is it caled ‘Good Friday’? Ken Collins does a fair job with that question. God’s still here: And why is it that the left and the press (There’s that echo again) are so busy trying to get us to think that God is dead? Seems every Easter, one major rag or another coughs this one up. They’ve been doing it since the middle 60’s. Prostelitizing for atheism, is the simple answer, but I suspect, myself it’s simpler than that… It’s about killing what they cannot control. I’ll point you at KJL’s fine article, today. Pirates on the Horn of Africa are flourishing because we’re letting them . In many ways, this situation is analogous to Jimmy Carter’s failures in Iran. One does really have to wonder what would have occurred had the Crew of the Maresk Alaba...

Migratory Birds' Route Number 4
2008-09-16 06:41:00 Pakistan receives a large number of migratory birds from Europe and Central Asian States every year. These birds spend the winters in Pakistan and go back to their native habitats in the summers. The route these birds take from Siberia to Pakistan is known as International Migratory Birds' Route Number 4. It is also called the Green Route or Indus Flyway. Out of seven flyways, Indus Flyway is one of the busiest routes. Birds begin their journey in November. February is the peak time and by March they start flying back. These periods may vary depending upon weather conditions in Siberia and in Pakistan.Birds' migration is of different forms: diurnal (during day), nocturnal (night flights), altitudinal (from heights to lower parts) and latitudinal (from north to south). One of the reasons for migration is that food is not available in indigenous habitats during winter seasons. Other factors include changes in temperature, reduced daylight hours, and instinctive behaviour.The Indus F...

Car Insurance For Teens - Is There A Cheaper Route?
2008-05-31 04:58:00 There are remarkable increase both in Teenager Car Insurance Policy and Claims. Normally the premium for teenager car insurance is very high when compared to people over 25 years. However, some insurance companies are considerate towards teenagers and offer cheap insurance polices. Teenage drivers get into more accidents when compared to age group 30 to 50. If the risk covered is high then the insurance premium will also be high. Suggestions to keep lower premium for car insurance are: Traffic rules and road safety laws are to be strictly adhered to in order to keep the driving license of the teenager clean; driving with in the permitted speed; instead of taking separate policy for teenager, he can be covered as an additional driver in the same policy; enrolment of teenager in regular driving courses and stay away from alcohol.

iPhone en route to the home of IKEA and more
2008-05-27 17:57:00 Let’s kick off this post-Memorial Day week with another international carrier announcement for the iPhone. This time, it’s Sweden-based operator TeliaSonera who’s dropping the bomb. The company is poised to bring the iPhone to a number of Nordic and Balkan countries. TeliaSonera today announced it has signed an agreement with Apple to bring the iPhone to Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia later this year. Another seven countries brings our speculative total to somewhere between 48 and 62 countries—the large amount of variation is due to the fact that Orange and América Móvil have not given fully detailed country lists. Regardless, that’s quite a ramp up from last year’s four. And somehow I imagine that we haven’t heard the last of the carrier announcement bonanza. Copyright Mac Publishing LLC.

Top audit firms set to march on the LLP route - Singapore
2008-05-12 22:15:00 Top audit firms set to march on the LLP route - Singapore Three of the Big Four look to restructure, taking a cue from US outfits By ANNA TEO (SINGAPORE) After mulling over the pros and cons in recent years, three of the Big Four audit firms in Singapore have decided to convert to limited liability partnerships (LLPs), with at least one of them expected to effect the restructuring quite soon. Deloitte Singapore, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) are gearing up to become LLPs, with Deloitte likely to be the first to add the three letters to its name, possibly within weeks. Ernst & Young is understood to be still looking into the issue. Among other key features, a LLP offers its partners limited liability in the event that the firm is sued. In a traditional general partnership - the current business structure of the Big Four and most other audit firms in Singapore - the partners are personally liable for the acts of fellow partners. The idea of corporatising professional firms... |
