Tough phase for the Indian Economy
2008-06-07 00:00:00 Market melts down totally on the back of rising inflation, global food crisis and boiling crude oil prices. India is suffering from a lot of factors such as increasing fiscal deficit due to tons of subsidies, political pressure on the home ground, inflationary pressure to name a few. Selling on part of the FIIs and bearish sentiment of the investors have kept the market in pressure as selling has been witnessed from the last couple of weeks. Nifty 50 had broken the psychology level of 4800 and even 4600 and it is likely to break even 4200 mark. Now the question is where will we stop? Lots of analysts are advising in the front of value buying or bottom fishing. Blue chip shares are available at a price of nothing. It is the high time to invest for the long term view. Still we can see the shortage of investors on the bourses. The sentiment is so bearish that everyone might be thinking that market will move more in the southward direction. Oil marketing companies are losing Rs. 620 cro...
BOLLYWOOD TOUGH GUY ‘EYES INDIAN POLITICS’
2008-06-06 07:56:00 Bollywood star Sanjay Dutt, out of jail on bail for a weapons conviction, is considering a move into politics in forthcoming general elections, a report said Wednesday. Dutt's family has had a long association with politics and his father, Sunil, spent almost two decades in parliament as an MP for the Congress party and also served as a federal sports minister before his death in 2005. "My father has done social work all his life. Why shouldn't I too do the same as a social servant? Why should I be deprived of an opportunity?" Dutt told the Times of India newspaper. Sanjay's sister Priya Dutt was elected as a Congress MP for her father's constituency in northwest Mumbai, where India's prolific film industry is based. "I am sure the party (Congress) will give both of us tickets from two different seats," Dutt was quoted as saying. Dutt, known for his roles as a tough guy, is one of Bollywood's most popular and bankable stars despite his criminal conviction. ...
5 Strategies for Selling in a Tough Market
2008-06-05 17:06:00 1. Believe you can and stay positive!One of the problems with all of this talk about recession is that once people believe there is going to be a recession they start to feel negative about their business prospects and only tend to see what they believe rather than believing what they see. Once you believe that there is going to be a recession you tend to only notice articles, comments and statistics that support your beliefs.What's more, your negative beliefs quickly affect your outlook and the way that you feel about your business prospects.If you thought 2008 was going to be a great year for business, your best year yet; how would you feel?Conversely, if you thought 2008 was going to see a major recession and that it was going to hit you and your business hard; how would you feel?Mighty different huh? And remember, nothing's changed here other than your belief. Having a positive and supportive belief structure is essential if you want to succeed in any market but it is vitally ...

Cycling and Relationships : A Tough Question
2008-05-30 07:12:00 Suppose : Your new life partner, apple of your eye, but obviously not as crazy as you about cycling, tests your commitment in relationship. One day, in a very serious tone, he or she asks you to drop your passion altogether. Its either him/her or bicycles, not both. Its a one way street.You've finally found a perfect mate after years, but cycling is another thing that keeps you alive. How will you reply and act? Will you do the obvious - say yes and keep riding (hehe) or will you give in, either to your urges or their demands .Many, if not some, may already have gone through this situation. Because lets face it - serious cycling is a lot of investment in time. If you have not realized that by now, I don't know what to tell you. You don't necessarily have to be pro to decide to do every race in the local calender or ride 10,000 miles every year, not including the hours that go in training, preparation, reading cycling blogs and magazines, watching bike races and hunting for new eq...

Tough Stuff : Matsuzaka Hurt In Red Sox Loss...Seattle 4 Boston 3
2008-05-28 11:47:00 Tuesday night did not go as smoothly as the night before for the Boston Red Sox. They lost to the Mariners by a score of 4-3. Seattle scored a run in the bottom of the ninth off Mike Timlin, who should retire by the All Star break. His dismal record at Safeco Field was the reason I was surprised that he was in there in the first place, but Papelbon had pitched the day before and Okajima had thrown a sixteen pitch eighth. Why Tito Francona couldn't have run Okie out for the ninth is beyond me, and we all know now that the skipper might have blown the game. More bad news had preceded that fateful ninth, for Daisuke Matsuzaka had to leave after four innings and 65 pitches with what was preliminarily deemed "a tired shoulder." I do not like the sound of that...not one bit! Here is what he and his skipper had to say after the game..."He felt some, I guess, fatigue is the right word," manager Terry Francona said. "We're not going to run somebody out there when we think there's somethin...

LALA.COM’S PAY-PER-STREAM PROGRAM FACES TOUGH COMPETITION
2008-05-27 21:59:00 Lala.com has a history of coming up with innovative ideas that don't quite conquer the world. The company is best known for its online used-CD trading service, which is an interesting idea but works well only if you have a large list of CDs available to trade. Lala.com will let you stream any song once at no charge, and an unlimited number of times for $0.10 per song. (Credit: Lala.com) It also offers a music "locker" service that allows you to upload your music then listen to it from any computer with an Internet connection...but it only works with MP3 files, so you're out of luck if you've been using (for example) iTunes to rip your CDs to AAC for the last four years. The site was also early to experiment with offering free streaming files, but has apparently shuttered that service because the numbers didn't work out. Now the company's beta-testing another streaming service that lets you select any song to stream once. Then, if you want to stream it again, you can pay a o...

Interpret tough experience as an exercise in compassion
2008-05-27 03:14:00 You may already be thinking, "that's all well and good, but to find the positive isn't always a piece of cake." Do you really listen to yourself? When will you focus on who you are?Its common to encounter people who seem negative, undiplomatic, critical or even downright nasty. Your impulse may be anger and a desire to retaliate, to show them some of their own medicine. Other options exist. What about showing some compassion?How easy it seems to forget reasons explain why people are as they are. Once a thief, always a thief? Not necessarily. Recall the story of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables by Victor Hugo? As a child, he stole bread to eat and was sent to prison. When he got out, people wouldn't hire him as he had a record. So, he stole again. It was all he knew to survive. When a clergyman forgave him and generously gave him the silver he had stolen, this man encouraged ...

News: Tough hurricane season coming up.
2008-05-24 11:15:00 According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), the approaching 2008 Atlantic hurricane season is likely to be above normal, with 16 named storms and up to five major hurricanes.NOAA attributed the above-average outlook to the lingering affects of La Nina.
