Isn't Laureus Awards Unfair to Team Sports?
2011-12-20 15:56:00 Lionel Messi, once again has been nominated for the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award. He was nominated in three occasions and have not yet been succesful in winning this one. FC Barcelona also has been nominated in the Sport Team of the Year category and Abidal also for the Comeback of the Year. Messi has been nominated along with the likes of Djokovic, Vettel, Bolt and Nowitzki. And the company of these great Gentlemen are the problem for the Barca genius. It's not that these are players who make Messi feel miniature in status. The problem precisely is that three of them - Djokovi, Bolt and Vettel are players who plays in a Individual sport. So at the time of voting, the fact that messi plays a Team Sport will act against him. You cannot blame the Jury members for making such a choice. If you are given thge choice of picking between Messi and Djokovic, you will probably end up picking the Serbian because he fights alon and Messi fight along with his team. Eventhough Messi...
Because Life is Unfair
2011-06-08 03:13:00 You know what stinks? Technology. Technology and it's big, fat inability to do its job. For the last 30 minutes, I was happily typing at away my latest blog post when. Errrr. Man down! And all those lovely words I'd hoped to put out into the universe vanished in the blink of an Internet connection. Ugh. I'd love to parlay this into some greater lesson, but honestly - I'm mostly just pissed off. I guess the only takeaway I can share as my shrug my shoulders is that nothing is 100% dependable. Especially a struggling Internet connection choking in the 95 degree heat. And when these things in life leave you disappointed, there's always wine and A/C. ...
Government Employee Unions Undemocratic, Unfair, Unsustainable
2011-03-01 20:30:00 -By Warner Todd Huston A lot has been said about the thuggish behavior of these teachers in Wisconsin and other union toughs across the country who have been caught on tape calling people Hitler and dictators, and attacking peaceful Tea Partiers. The behavior of union supporters has been ignorant to say the least. But as we've focused on the behavior of these ignoramuses, we've also neglected to explain just why their unions are illicit in the first place. To start with we should remind everyone that government employees have not always been allowed to unionize. Collective bargaining for pubic employees only started in 1958 after New York Mayor Robert Wagner signed what came to be called "the Little Wagner Act"...
Magnets: Is Proposal Unfair To High-Scoring White Kids?
2010-11-13 14:02:00 On Wednesday the Board will consider the proposed changes to the magnet and SE admissions policy that Huberman announced recently (Principal's Pick" Banned Again,Changes To Magnet / Selective Enrollment) but the debate isn't over yet. Here's an excerpt from a note I received rom a parent illustrating some of the concerns: "The Blue Ribbon committee's final report DID NOT recommend cutting the share of top-scoring students to 30%... This means that whites lose out next year -- and every year after that. Whites share of seats will drop by at least 5% to 12%. Asians will likely drop 2% to 8%. CPS has all the number and they are not sharing. The purpose: CPS will eliminate top students solely to make...

Unfair Pre-School Education Requirements
2009-08-05 17:25:00 My daughter Maria is four years old, and she is eligible for preschool. Hubby and I have decided to send her to a pre-k program, to help build her socialization skills early. Of course we want her to be able to get along with other children, but it will also help her to develop her language skills. This will have a positive effect on her, in preparation for her transition to a proper school. Perhaps, preschool does not need to be mandatory in all schools. This is also voluntary for the parents to decide if they will send their children for pre-k. In general, public schools have programs, for preschool children, which are free of charge for the parents. There are private school providers offering pre-school, but parents are required to pay a monthly fee. However, in my city, they have a requirement that people who have a low income are eligible for the free pre-k program. Then there are slots available, for about 3 children whose parents are above the income limit, at the school ...

United States, issued on November 25, 2008, in which the Court opened the door to contractor challenges of unfair or incorrect performance evaluations. Coming literally on the heels of the BLR case, the Court issued another decision on December 9, 2008, Todd Construction Co., Inc. v. United States, denying a government motion to dismiss and holding that the Court had the jurisdiction to consider a challenge to a contracting officer’s decision regarding a contractor’s performance evaluation. The Court held that Todd had submitted a “claim” within the meaning of the Contract Disputes Act of 1978 because, on March 22, 2006, the Government issued its proposed final evaluations of Todd’s work, and on April 20, 2006, Todd submitted its comments protesting those evaluations.

Vanity Unfair
2008-06-02 13:45:00 Bill Clinton's 25 hundred word rant on Vanity Fair's "The Comeback Id" piece is blaming, tedious, and false. As Hillary told Obama: "If you can't stand the heat, stay out of the kitchen." Todd Purdum is scorched and burned by Bill's poison pen: This piece was written by Todd Purdum, who is married to Dee Dee Myers, former White House Press Secretary. Purdum's disclosure of this in the piece does not, as Vanity Fair apparently concluded, remove the obvious conflict of interest. It's a conflict that would likely not be contemplated at more reputable publications, especially considering that, as a result of this relationship, at least one source's anonymity was revealed to others.Clinton did not address the piece's reports of Bubba's continued dicking around with other women. But he did say in the third person or maybe one of his "Sybil" personalities: "In his role as spouse/surrogate, Bill Clinton is still the gold standard."Clinton attacks Purdum's speculation ("he's not a...

Mindblowing inequality isn't just unfair but inefficient! McCain needs an e
2008-05-29 22:34:00 Many people beleive that there had to be a trade-off between social justice and efficiency; that the persuit of the former will inevitably have to come at the expense of the latter. Yet, social justice and efficiency tend to correlate highly. Now, let me explain why injustice and inefficiency correlate so strongly...First, let me explain social justice real quick: according to Miller (1999) it consists of three components: need, desert and equalty. Needs are just that: needs - in a just distribution of resoucres all basic needs neccessary for individual development are met; deserts are rewards for contributions to society - they should equal one's contributions, i.e. what you put in, is what you get out; equality here describes the idea that citizenship is to be distributed equally, i.e. no is to be degraded to the status of being a second class citizen.The distribution of household income in the U.S. lends itself as an example for why redistribution is necessary for the sake of ef...

Regulator’s move on telemarketing calls unfair: operators
2008-03-24 10:33:00 New Delhi, March 18 (IANS) Indian telecom operators Tuesday decried the industry regulator’s move to impose monetary penalties for unsolicited telemarketing calls and SMSs made to the subscriber. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Monday announced the amendment of the Telecom Unsolicited Commercial Communications (UCC) Regulations.“(The) amendment is most unfair to the industry and we are all greatly discouraged and concerned that the authority is seeking to impose penalties on service providers for the unsolicited commercial calls made by telemarketing agencies over whom the service providers have little or no control,” the operators said in a letter to TRAI chairman Nripendra Misra.The letter has been written by leading cellular bodies - Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) and Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India - representing mobile operators offering services under both GSM and CDMA technologies.“It is this poor compliance b...

Church: Obama ex-pastor is under unfair attack
2008-03-17 06:11:00 The Rev. Jeremiah Wright's former church criticized the news media Sunday for coverage of his sermons, saying in a statement that Wright's "character is being assassinated in the public sphere." Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, Illinois, defended Wright, saying he "has preached a social gospel on behalf of oppressed women, children and men in America and around the globe." The statement came two days after Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, a longtime friend of Wright and attendee of the church, denounced sermons that have become the subject of recent controversy. Obama called them "inflammatory and appalling." "It is an indictment on Dr. Wright's ministerial legacy to present his global ministry within a 15- or 30-second sound bite," the Rev. Otis Moss III, the current pastor of the church, said in the statement. Sorry liar, but there were several clips across the news and they were several minutes long. "Rich white people" was said several times.&n...

Unfair Credit Agreement Claims Posted By : Alex Johnson
2008-03-06 16:38:00 Unfair credit agreement claims refers to the process under which an aggrieved customer seeks out to reclaim the amount paid for a loan if the agreement executed is unfair. In a stricter sense, it means that if a person is a victim of an unfair loan agreement for which he has been making payments, he / she can make claims to seek the return of the money. This is common practice in most countries. The tax laws can be incredibly complicated to understand, especially for the Small Business Owner like yourself. How can you be expected to run your business AND keep up with all the tax rules and regulations? That's why over the years I've discovered many tax-saving strategies that will reduce your tax bill each and every year. These "strategies" are not difficult to understand, nor are they hard to implement.
Fairly unfair - Bipasha dumped for Karishma
2008-03-06 12:35:00 Bollywood’s list of sexy actresses would be definitely incomplete without the mention of dusky bong beauty Bipasha Basu, but never before this had Bips felt that her dusky complexion was in any way a hinderance in her career.Bips was signed for a jewelry brand, but she was swapped at the last minute for Karisma Kapoor. Bips was shocked when she learnt that it was her dusky skin which triggered the brand to replace her in the ad. According to the brand, the diamonds would not quite go that well with her dark complexion and also, her dusky look might not help the brand connect with the target women audience. Also Bipasha’s oomph image would have been an impediment for the families in patronizing the brand.Now, Karisma Kapoor, with a fair and glowing skin, has been roped in to model for the brand instead of Bipasha Basu and the buzz doing the rounds is that she has already shot for the endorsement in a posh suburban hotel.However, sources say that Bipasha Basu is very much ...

Unfair Contractor Performance Evaluations: "Stacking the Charges"
2008-02-14 05:43:00 The Federal Acquisition Regulation, at FAR 36.201, requires government personnel to be fair and accurate in the evaluation of a construction contractor’s performance, but there is the inherent potential for an unfair and overreaching evaluation. Government personnel are required to use DD Form 2626 for performance evaluations. This form lists five major factors to be evaluated: quality control, effectiveness of management, timely performance, compliance with labor standards and compliance with safety standards. If, for example, a contractor’s employee has an accident and sustains an injury, a government evaluator could rate the contractor as unsatisfactory for violation of the safety standards, marginal in effectiveness of management (jobsite supervision, compliance with regulations (safety), and marginal in the implementation of its quality control plan. All of this would stem from a single incident. &nbs-p; In prosecutori...
