Top 10 H-1B Visa Companies All Specialize in Shipping American Jobs Overseas
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The following is being released by IEEE-USA: The Top 10 users of H-1B visas in FY 2012 were companies who specialize in shipping American jobs offshore, according to an analysis of government data by Computerworld magazine.
The analysis comes at a time when a bill before Congress, the "Immigration Innovation Act," would expand the H-1B visa program from 85,000 visas to more than 400,000 annually.
In "The data shows: Top H-1B users are offshore outsourcers," Computerworld found that, "Based on the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) data analyzed, the major beneficiaries of the proposed increase in the cap would be pure offshore outsourcing firms."
"This confirms that H-1B visas facilitate the transfer of high-skill, high-paying American jobs to other countries," IEEE-USA President Marc Apter said. "Congress should pass laws that create U.S. jobs, not destroy them." Dr. Ron Hira, a professor of public policy at the Rochester Institute of Technology, commented on the analysis in a blog entry (
) for the Economic Policy Institute: "There are two reasons these firms hire H-1Bs instead of Americans: 1) an H-1B worker can legally be paid less than a U.S. worker in the same occupation and locality; and 2) the H-1B worker learns the job and then rotates back to the home country and takes the work with him. That's why the H-1B was dubbed the "Outsourcing Visa" by the former Commerce Minister of India, Kamal Nath.
"Rather than keeping jobs from leaving our shores, the H-1B does the opposite, by facilitating offshoring and providing employers with cheap, temporary labor -- while reducing job opportunities for American high-tech workers in the process." The Top 10 H-1B users received 40,170 H-1B visas in FY 2012 and applied for just 1,167 employment-based (EB) green cards. This is an immigration yield of 2.9 percent.
IEEE-USA supports additional EB green cards for skilled immigrants. These visas allow immigrants to start their own companies and create U.S. wealth and jobs.
"Any plan to increase skilled immigration should be based on green cards," Apter said.
IEEE-USA advances the public good and promotes the careers and public policy interests of more than 205,000 engineering, computing and technology professionals who are U.S. members of IEEE.

New mX platform designed to cut datacentre migrations by a third
Xceed Group brings 420 years of IT Change Leadership knowledge and 270 years of datacentre management experience to accelerate enterprise migrations via its new mX platform
London, Edinburgh, Dublin & New York, 23 July 2014 - Xceed Group, experts in accelerating transformational change, today announced the launch of its mX migration accelerator platform, a breakthrough in helping companies overcome the challenges associated with major migration projects.
"Business strategies are increasingly being driven by new technologies, particularly the opportunities presented by cloud, mobile, social media and analytics," says Simon Johnson, Migration Practice Director at Xceed Group. "We built mX in order to give our clients an on-demand, transparent view of their migration programme, ultimately accelerating migrations without increased risk or cost."
mX is the only end to end platform that allows firms to assess, plan and manage migration programmes. mX is unique in that it is the first integrated planning and management platform dedicated to delivering asset modelling, semi-automated designs and creation of technical architecture, which it underpins with an integrated workflow. Over 420 years of IT Change Leadership experience has gone into designing and building the mX platform, leveraging Xceed Group's history of building, moving and decommissioning hundreds of datacentres.
This launch of mX follows Gartner recently reporting that 70% of datacentre migrations will incur significant time delays or cause unplanned downtime. Mergers are at their highest level since 2007, with reports of dealmaking soaring during the first six months of 2014, and global mergers and acquisitions totalling £1.03 trillion.
"IT migrations are some of the most complicated events an organisation will face," says Xceed MD Paul McGolpin. "mX helps datacentre hosting companies, system integrators and companies looking to do a large-scale, enterprise wide migration deliver better services to their customers. The ability to implement rapid change effectively has become a pre-requisite for a highly effective IT function, but the challenge is achieving this without disrupting the current environment. This is what we solve with mX."
Customers agree that Xceed Group is well-positioned to deliver a comprehensive and robust migration acceleration platform. "Xceed Group understands the art of the possible and has a real can do approach, which has been invaluable," says former Worldpay CTO Erik Toivonen. "For example, our first plan for the datacentre selection was six months. I asked if it could be done in four and Xceed Group immediately said yes."
mX is available for both datacentre and desktop large scale migrations, with plans to extend the platform to include cloud and data migrations in the next six months.

Xceed was formed in 2003, bringing together experienced IT professionals who share the vision to build long term client relationships through the consistent and reliable delivery of professional IT services.

According to a spokesman, Pope Francis and Cuban President Raul Castro will meet privately on Sunday four months before the pontiff's trip to the Caribbean island, his first as leader of the Catholic Church. Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said on Tuesday Castro's meeting with the first Latin American pope was strictly private and not an official state visit. Francis leveraged the Vatican's ties to Cuba and the United States, writing letters to both Castro and President Barack Obama, to help foster December's historic announcement of the resumption of diplomatic relations between the former foes. The Vatican said last month Francis -- on the invitation of the Cuban government and the Cuban Roman Catholic Church -- would go to the predominantly Catholic island in September, before making a previously announced visit to the United States.
The Kardashians and Sears are parting ways ... TMZ has learned, and sources connected with the family say they're bailing because they believe the department store is a sinking ship. The Kardashians and Sears struck a big deal back in 2011 for the Kardashian Kollection, which features all sorts of apparel and jewelry. By all accounts, the venture was successful. In 2013 the Kardashian fashion empire raked in $600 million and the family got a $30 million cut. TMZ reports the deal ended earlier this year and the store has been selling off the remaining items, and recently the store has been pulling the items from the shelves.

Major obstacles lie in income documentation, mortgage insurance rules
Income documentation requirements: One of the most damaging and unfair parts of the mortgage stringency is the extreme rigidity of the requirements for documenting income. Borrowers with credit scores near 800 and down payments above 20 percent are being turned down because they are self-employed and can't document adequate income. I looked in vain for any comment by the Fed on this insanity.
Private mortgage insurers are also more restrictive: The agencies require that loans with less than a 20 percent down payment or 20 percent equity carry mortgage insurance, and the insurers have their own requirements that have grown increasingly stiff.
I just checked the eligibility requirements of one carrier on a 90 percent loan (10 percent down payment), and found a minimum credit score of 660. That means that a 90 percent loan with a score of 620, which is acceptable to Fannie and Freddie, would be rejected by this insurer. The Fed ignores the role of private mortgage insurers.

A Wooldridge brother's solo debut
Singer-songwriter Scott Wooldridge has a new single and accompanying video called "Hard to Go Quietly."
I digress, but for me, it's hard to read a press release that begins, "Minneapolis-based singer-songwriter Scott Wooldridge..."
Wooldridge wasn't ours to start with – he moved to Milwaukee from Indiana in the early 1980s with his band at the time, the Squares – and he's long since moved north.
But he still feels like ours. In a sense he is, because he still performs periodically in town with his brother Brian in The Wooldridge Brothers, which has released six CDs.
For "Hard to Go Quietly," Wooldridge worked with mandolinist Sloan Hamilton and guitarist Mike Senkovich, who plays with several Minneapolis bands, including The Humbugs, The Bazillions and Atomic Flea.
The mostly acoustic tune – which Wooldridge says will be on his first solo album next year, and which I find myself playing over and over again – is a song that reflects the vocally partisan age in which we live. But, says Scott, it's not defending the left or the right.
"It's about wanting to express yourself at a time when there are so many voices, so much data, that many people just feel overwhelmed.
"In August I began work on my first solo album and it seemed like it might be good to put out 'Hard to Go Quietly' early, just because it seemed relevant to the election season," he says.
"It was pretty much inspired by political discussions that I've had on Facebook. That theme is part of the video."
Wooldridge made the video himself and though it may not win any cinematography awards, it's a very respectable effort that reflects the song's lyric, starting off with a hamster running in a wheel, red and blue Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots duking it out, political rallies and footage of Wooldridge and his fellow musicians working in the studio.
"It's my first time trying something like this," says Scott. "People seem to like it. I get a lot of comments about Fluffy the hamster, of course."
Check out the song and video here.

How to choose a commercial printer
New paradigm reigns in commercial printing
- Jane Schmitt
When a commercial printer truly understands a customer's needs and works with them to come up with quality, cost-effective solutions, it's a beautiful thing.
Count on that to happen if you find the right one for your company.
"The old 'price, quality, service' paradigm is no longer a differentiator," said Alan Davis, president of Tapecon Inc. in Buffalo, when asked what makes a printer "good" these days. "Having knowledgeable sales contacts paired with strong internal resources that respond quickly along with a flexible supply chain fulfillment option are 'good' attributes.
"Printers can no longer afford to act on a transactional basis, but instead partner with customers to provide their print needs from a global perspective," he said.
The modern economy demands that high level of service for everyone from small businesses to major corporations, and area printers deliver. Trust their experience, their technical expertise and their creativity.
"Technology, and especially digital printing, has drastically changed the business of printing," Davis said. "Choosing a print partner who has been around and evolved to newer printing technologies along with traditional printing will provide the best options for high-quality and cost-effective printed products."
Like so many of your other business "partners," referrals are one way to get started. So is an Internet search.
Said Davis: "Each printer has its own niche or product/market specialization. Word-of-mouth referrals are always helpful, but Internet research of area printers will guide you in matching your needs with a printer's specific competency."
Brian Mabry of Flexo Transparent Inc. in Buffalo agreed that the Internet is a prime resource for printing companies and their clients alike.
"We use the Internet a great deal to generate business leads," said Mabry, vice president of sales and marketing. "Since we ship coast-to-coast, we need an advertising method that spans that distance. Keyword searches and Web site optimization help us to grab people's attention online.
"Referrals are always a good start because the customer is coming with a positive attitude from the individual which sent them to us. Our quality and service help to improve the referral process," he added. "The majority of our new sales are driven internally with sales efforts targeting our markets and making the sales calls ourselves."
Commercial printers are responsible for printing company logos, names and images that support branding and the product itself, Mabry said. Quality and consistency in business identity items are critical to get or keep a competitive edge in the marketplace.
Don't let cost alone be the reason you enter into a relationship with a printer. Check out their track record. Ask to tour the printing operation you're considering. Inquire about their credit policies.
"A printer must offer the complete service package to add value to a customer's product," Mabry said. "A printer must be able to take a project from concept beginning to ending of the package, providing all of the technical information along the way. This makes us a one-stop shop for artwork, printing and packaging suggestions.
"Quality, consistency and superior service at the best value are required to be considered good. State-of-the-art equipment, technology and highly skilled employees are required to assist in proving that quality and consistency required."
Other sources for finding a printer: the yellow pages; the Printing Industries Alliance, which covers New York, northern New Jersey and northwestern Pennsylvania; and the Graphic Arts Information Network Web site (www.gain.net).
"Being a member of a trade association always is a good indicator that the company stays abreast of new technology and interacts within their industry," said Davis of Tapecon. "Networking with peers reinforces ethical behavior."
Mabry of Flexo Transparent agreed.
"The more information available to separate the printers, the better," he said. "Some markets have sensitivities that require certifications to provide the packaging material We provide products that are used in the bakery industry, thus we are a member of American Institute of Baking International, which certifies us to provide food-grade packaging. This is a requirement for most of the food industry. If a printer of packaging does not comply, then they will be out of the bid process."

10Pakistan says 'Taliban town seized' Military claims to have captured Kotkai, Taliban chief's hometown, in South Waziristan. 24 Oct 2009 12:20 GMT Attacks in major cities have followed the Pakistani military's offensive against the Taliban [AFP] Hussain is an alleged trainer of suicide bombers. Stronghold pounded Another security official said ground forces had surrounded Kotkai for the past three days as jets and helicopter gunships strafed fighters' positions. "Security forces entered Kotkai late on Friday after they had secured important heights behind it," the official said. The army has promised to make the Taliban leadership a particular target of their offensive and sealed off the main road into Koktai last weekend.

Missiles believed to be fired by a US-operated pilotless aircraft on Saturday hit a hideout of Maulvi Faqir Muhammad, a senior Pakistani Taliban commander in the Damadola area in Bajaur tribal district. "Fourteen militants, including foreign fighters, were killed in the attack that destroyed the fortified structure," a Pakistani intelligence official said. The region has become a stronghold for fighters who fled Afghanistan after the US-led invasion toppled the Taliban rulers in neighbouring Afghanistan in late 2001. Although the Pakistan government has said the ongoing South Waziristan offensive will deal a decisive blow to the fighters, they have apparently succeeded in carrying out repeated retatliatory attacks. On Friday, a bomb attack outside a Pakistani air force base near Islamabad, the federal capital, killed eight people, including six civilians and two air force personnel. Separately, an explosion killed at least 17 people travelling on a bus to a wedding in the northwestern Mohmand region. In a third violent incident, a large car bomb struck in a restaurant car park in the city of Peshawar, the main city of NWFP province, wounding about 10 people." 'Legitimate target' Al Jazeera's Alan Fisher, in Islamabad, said: "Everywhere, as far as the Taliban is concerned, is a legitimate target if it involves the security forces, the police and the army. "Everyone is wary of what will happen next and because of this the prime minister [Yusuf Raza Gilani] has summoned a special security meeting in Islamabad which will take place today. Focus Fear grips Pakistan after attacks "He has summoned senior advisers and politicians, including representatives from the provinces and also people who can feed into the process, to see how they can try to cope with the problems that they are facing." Gilani condemned the Kamra attack and vowed that the government would not waver in its resolve to "root out terrorism". "They knew that when the South Waziristan offensive started that there was always the possibility of a backlash and that's what we are seeing," our correspondent said, referring to the Pakistani authorities. "[The government] is aware that they have to do something, because people are scared. You can see it on the streets, in the fact that there is not as much traffic around as usual, that the markets are quieter, cinemas across the country are reporting that attendances are down." Our correspondent said the army officers believe that if they can confront and defeat the Taliban in South Waziristan, then other groups around the country will adapt to the new realities. "It's a risky strategy," he said. "If it fails, it allows others to push on with their agenda and carry out attacks." Source: Al Jazeera and agencies

The Fae were added with Echoes of Faydwer and Kelethin is their home, which they occupied after the Elves left. Fae are small and have wings resembling butterflies or other winged insects. The fae evolved from faeries and nature spirits to become larger and interested in worldly affairs, probably due to Tunare's Bloom. They are skilled with magic and prone to simple superstitions and belief systems. Many are prone to playing tricks on the unsuspecting.
Traditional stories about the Fae or faeries have depicted them as spirits of wildness and mystery, some of which were beneficial and helpful and others dangerous, mischievious or deadly.
