Legislative crime spree devastates Illinois public schools
2009-08-31 00:33:00 Many people have asked me, "So, what's the big deal, if the General Assembly gives millions of dollars to parochial schools, even if the State Constitution does prohibit such a thing?" The big deal is that the State Legislature is cutting a huge amount of money from essential public school programs, such as textbooks, to pay for it. I've told you, in previous blog posts, about how the Springfield Capital Bill is donating millions of your tax dollars to parochial schools, in clear violation of Article X, Section 3, of the Illinois Constitution. Now comes word, in this article from Friday's (August 28, 2009) Chicago Tribune, that the Legislature is eliminating a state fund to buy textbooks for public schools. Last year, according to...
Sify Revamps Sify.com - On A Revamp Spree?
2009-07-07 14:03:00 Sify Technologies has revamped the homepage of its flagship online site Sify.com. The current homepage seems to be a move to reduce the clutter and provide the user a cleaner leaner homepage to browse. Have a look below: Sify is probably the 4th largest portal from India (if alexa chart below is to be believed) after rediff, indiatimes and the newly buzzing in.com. Sify kind of lost the traffic battle to these three purely because of a lack of focus on the online properties and no sign of upgradation. Sify has been on a sort of restructuring and revamp spree in the last 6 months or so with its portal. Late last year it tied up with Google to provide WIYI mail and got rid of its own mailing service. It also recently jumped onto the twitter bandwagon with updates from its website. With all these initiatives it does look like sify is making a conscious effort to improve the user experience and connect. Sify’s consumer business has been a let down and that has been apparent via ...

Microsoft On A Lay Off Spree: Hopes Pinned On Windows 7 And Office 2010
2009-05-14 12:15:00 Microsoft Corporation is on lay off spree handling pink slips to 3000 people in May despite eliminating 1400 jobs in January this year. In January, Microsoft had disclosed plans to eliminate 5,000 positions, more than 5% of its global work force consisting 96,000 full-time workers it employed at the time and was also buoyed by the fact that its net income fell 11 per cent for the quarter ended December 31, 2008. Most of the job cuts were in U.S but it recently struck Indian soil when it decided to lay off 55 employees working in Indian operations. This severe action is being taken to cut costs in various business divisions to counter the turbulence faced by declining IT budgets at Top companies and even by SME’s . The scenario is worse even though global economy is on recovering path as it showed first ever drop in revenues to decline 6% in March quarter. The pressure on topline is due to the slackening vista sales as buyers ripple under the fear of Windows 7 launch coming as an ...

$3 trillion shopping spree video
2008-10-20 00:16:00 Here's a video that asks, What would you do with $3 trillion? My deepest wish is that the American people send a message on November 4 to all Republicans: we don't appreciate your Treasury-emptying budgetary ways, or your war profiteering at other people's expense. And to their Democratic enablers? We may be stuck with them just to make point #1, but we'll be keeping a much closer watch on their ethics, budgets, and votes if they should be so favored as to win a majority on Capitol Hill come November - House, Senate, or both.And since Pelosi and Reid sold us down the river with Paulson's banker-enriching 'Bailout plan' then the two of them are on probation for the duration until all fraudsters can be swept out the back door...and it'll be good riddance if that day ever comes.

Cheering Up With a CVS Shopping Spree
2008-06-29 17:04:00 I'm such a dork. I've been really down the past couple of weeks because of the huge expense of my car repairs and the poor decision of driving to work when I can ride my bike.First of all, as a reader pointed out, wear and tear on the car should be considered into the equation. The problem I paid to fix was pre-existing and totally necessary, but really thats just the beginning. I bought my car used. Its a 2001. There are bound to be more problems and the more I drive the more they quickly they will pop up.Second and more importantly, lazy people (like me) are major part of the reason gas prices are so high in the first place. Just because I am lucky enough to be able to afford to drive to work doesn't mean I should. I am young and healthy enough to ride my bike. I chose to live 10+ miles from work, I will bear the inconvenience of the ride as long as I can bear it and weather permits.My apologies to the general population and the environment for thinking about that probl...

Where'd I Go a.k.a. My Spending Spree
2008-06-06 05:49:00 It's been a while since I updated my blog. I like to use the "I've been busy!" excuse, but that's just another cop-out. I apologize to all my active readers.Seriously though, I have been amazingly busy. With the continuous rise in gas prices, I've sold more Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas in the past month than ever before. Last week I got a check for over $2000...another reminder of what I am giving up. I try to get into the dealership in the morning to handle emails, update inventory, secure financing, and eventually handle all the other small details before I can even get ready to sell cars. Elvis' future brother-in-law will soon be working with me to take over my position; I'll have more things to worry about.In my free time, I've been playing a lot of soccer as well as walking. I'm unsure about the walk to Milwaukee for several reasons now, but I haven't stopped working out. In the past 2 weeks I've lost 10 pounds simply by eating a little less and being more active....

Stanchart goes on hiring spree - Singapore
2008-05-10 00:27:00 Stanchart goes on hiring spree - Singapore Bank swims against the tide; plans to recruit another 500 in S’pore and 10,000 worldwide By CHOW PENN NEE (SINGAPORE) While banks in the US and Europe are making announcements - almost on a daily basis - about job cuts and writedowns, Standard Chartered stands quietly poised to grab any talent that may come its way.  ‘We are well-positioned for growth and are investing in people to leverage on the opportunities in the market.’  - a Stanchart spokeswoman     As its peers downsize, Stanchart will hire aggressively, especially in Asia. The bank has decided to swim against the general tide of gloom and feels this is the time to grow. The bank derives most of its profits from Asia, Africa and the Middle East and has escaped relatively unscathed from the sub-prime fallout. It is well-positioned to expand, it said. A Stanchart spokeswoman told BT yesterday that its Singapore operations will be expanding by nearly 11...

Libya Allegedly Went on Gun-Buying Spree
2008-04-13 16:09:00 The Libyan officer tried to cloak the purpose of his call to the Italian arms dealer. “A friend,” he said, wanted to buy 1 million “pieces” and 50 million items of “food.” But when that phone call was placed in 2006, Italian police were listening. They knew the meaning. Libya was shopping for guns — lots of them. Authorities shadowed the negotiations between Libyan officials and a group of black-market dealers from across Italy for a year before they moved in and broke up what would have been a $64 million deal for hundreds of thousands of Chinese-made assault rifles.
