Microsoft CEO to Obama: Drop Tax Break Cuts or We'll Send Jobs Overseas

Obozo really has no clue....
Anonymous Coward 687755
Ok so he has "no clue" for trying to get the jobs back to the states? By taking away tax breaks for corps. who send jobs overseas? I say that Obama calls their bluff and then we all boycott MS for insisting or threatening to keep their currently outsourced job overseas. God you will stand on anyone's side no matter how inane their demands just to oppose our President. These corporate practices have imploded our pay scales here, created massive unemployment and brought these companies record breaking profits. FUCK MS! They have sold out the american people at every turn. Next the world! Again, FUCK MS!
MS is essentially saying if the admin does this they will send all jobs overseas, not just the 60% (maybe more)they sent overseas as of this time.
And I am with you.
Sickandtired 17058124
Yes, invite MS to find a new corporate home.
They can't, because most of their favorite universities, and Silicon Valley, are here. The USA has the best human capital at the high end (as well as a lump of pretty bad human capital that "like a cancer grows".)

text: Sam Sanders Sam has worked at Vermont Public Radio since October 1978 in various capacities â Every Party But The Real One: A Night Chasing The #WHCD By Sam Sanders • 4 hours ago The White House Correspondent's Dinner-industrial complex has grown exponentially over time. Besides the dinner itself, the most high-profile annual social event in Washington, D.C., there are days of "nerd prom" events planned throughout the District — before and after the main event. All the ramp-up parties hosted the week of, by the likes of Tinder and Google. The brunches on Saturday. The pre-parties on Saturday evening. The watch parties for those who can't get in. The after parties Saturday night all around the city. The day-after "hangover brunches" on Sunday. Bernie Sanders Campaigns In Connecticut Before Tough Slate Of Primaries By Sam Sanders • Apr 25, 2016 Copyright 2016 NPR. To see more, visit http://www.npr.org/. What Politicians Can Learn From Comedians On How To Deal With Protesters By Sam Sanders • Apr 23, 2016 Two Black Lives Matter protesters took to the stage last August during a Bernie Sanders campaign rally in Seattle. As they moved closer and closer to Sanders' podium and mic, at times raising their fists to the crowd, Mara Jacqueline Willaford told Sanders to yield the mic to a fellow protester. "If you do not listen to her," Willaford said to Sanders, "your event will be shut down right now." #MemeOfTheWeek: Harriet Tubman And The Evolution Of Internet Phenomena By Sam Sanders • Apr 21, 2016 On Wednesday, Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew announced that former slave and abolitionist Harriet Tubman would grace a new version of the $20 bill. The news came after a prolonged effort to get women's faces on U.S. currency, with Tubman's name mentioned for several months. On the surface, the Tubman 20 announcement could be seen as an overwhelmingly acceptable development. A feel good story. A chance to celebrate. #MemeOfTheWeek: Shouting Politicans By Sam Sanders • Apr 16, 2016 During an exchange over how high to raise the minimum wage in Thursday night's Democratic debate, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders began to shout over each other, hands raised, fingers pointed, both seeming to get a bit red in the face, while the audience cheered and booed in equal parts. It was quite a scene. As NPR's Ron Elving put it, "Both Sanders and Clinton showed flashes of animosity bordering on contempt." Bernie Sanders Picks Up First Endorsement From A Senate Colleague By Sam Sanders • Apr 13, 2016 Oregon Sen. Jeff Merkley has endorsed Bernie Sanders for president, the first of Sanders' fellow members of the U.S. Senate to do so. In a New York Times op-ed, Merkley wrote that Sanders is "boldly and fiercely addressing the biggest challenges facing our country." Merkley praised the Vermont senator for opposition to international trade deals, his push for renewable energy, his calls to crack down on big banks, and his fight to address campaign finance laws. #MemeOfTheWeek: Hillary Clinton, The New York Subway And Authenticity By Sam Sanders • Apr 9, 2016 The things they do for love. Politicians will eat almost any food, adopt any colloquialism, endure any level of awkward — just to seem "authentic." The latest example? Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, riding the New York subway through the Bronx, saying hi to babies and taking selfies along the way. Depending on your point of view, the event — and it was an event — could be viewed as either a shining testament to Clinton's New York bona fides, or just the latest example of how out of touch she is. Here's how it all happened. Bill Clinton Gets Into Heated Exchange With Black Lives Matter Protester By Sam Sanders • Apr 7, 2016 This post has been updated at 10 a.m. ET, April 8 In a prolonged exchange Thursday afternoon, former President Bill Clinton forcefully defended his 1994 crime bill to Black Lives Matter protesters in the crowd at a Hillary Clinton campaign event. He said the bill lowered the country's crime rate, which benefited African-Americans, achieved bipartisan support, and diversified the police force. He then addressed a protester's sign, saying: President Obama Chides Media For 2016 Election Coverage By Sam Sanders • Mar 29, 2016 President Obama delivered a stern rebuke to the media, for their role in the 2016 campaign and, as he sees it, not holding candidates accountable for "unworkable plans." #BernieMadeMeWhite: No, Bernie Sanders Isn't Just Winning With White People By Sam Sanders • Mar 28, 2016 On Sunday, after Bernie Sanders' commanding wins in the Alaska, Hawaii and Washington state Democratic presidential caucuses, Leslie Lee III, an American freelance writer living in Japan, tweeted, "I knew it. I knew if Bernie won Hawaii it would magically become a white state." And then he tweeted again: "Ever since I voted for Bernie, I've been bingewatching Friends. #BernieMadeMeWhite." Lee said he wrote that to contradict a narrative he sees playing out in the race for the Democratic nomination. Pages1 2 3 4 … next › last »

in response to thescholar Solvedwhen connected to itunes and in your ipod's music menu, go to the file pull down menu and click show duplicates and delete the songs that are shown twice
Anna Sandham Apr 5, 2009 9:44 AM
in response to thescholari can't find it now, but isn't there a feature in itunes which allows you to find duplicate songs in your library?
dunno if it works for the ipod as well though.
if it doesnt, best way i can think of is to plug your ipod in, and sort songs by name, then you can see duplicates easily and delete them manually.
applegenius18 Apr 5, 2009 9:48 AM
in response to Anna Sandhamif that's what you want to do, but i know it's there, i just checked
thescholar Apr 5, 2009 10:00 AM
in response to thescholarNo, there aren't duplicate songs in my iTunes Library, just on my iTouch. Zune has a feature where you can access everything in your device. I guess I'm looking for something similar on the iTouch so I can delete these duplicate songs on my iTouch.
applegenius18 Apr 5, 2009 10:02 AM
in response to thescholargo to file, show duplicates while in your ipod music tab not in your library.
Anna Sandham Apr 5, 2009 10:12 AM
in response to thescholari knew it was there as well, just couldn't find it! thanks for reminding me.
thescholar Apr 5, 2009 12:04 PM
in response to applegenius18When I connect my iPod to the computer, and I go to Device, then File, the Show Duplicates is grayed out and won't let me open it. When I go to Library, it will allow me to Show Duplicates. This is where the problem is. I have no duplicates in my library, just on my iPod. What am I doing wrong? Can someone talk me through the steps please.
Anna Sandham Apr 5, 2009 2:58 PM
in response to thescholaryeah, now i've had chance to look at it, i was right, you can find duplicate songs in your library, but that options is not available for the ipod.
sorry, but i think you'll have to resort to doing it manually like i suggested above.
applegenius18 Apr 5, 2009 6:16 PM
in response to thescholaryour just going to have to do it the other way

The Barry-Lawrence County Development Center recently received a $1,000 donation from the Freistatt Lions Club. Shirley Bass, a member of the Development Center board, accepted the donation and explained how the Development Center is continuing its long-term misson.
Established 36 years ago, the Barry-Lawrence County Development Center provides therapy and educational activities for pre-school children facing developmental delays and disabilities. The center presently has 19 children enrolled and operates four days a week, Monday through Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Bass explained that the children are placed in a stimulating environment and get to participate in a wide-range of activities. Therapists work with the children daily, providing speech therapy, physical therapy and different forms of occupational therapy.
Children in the program go on at age 5 to programs in the public schools. Public schools will also contract with the Development Center to provide specific services. Many are able to be mainstreamed into regular school programs by that age, Bass said. Those experiencing more severe handicaps end up attending the Oakview State School, also located in Monett.
The Development Center continues to operate at 408 Third St. in Monett, as it has for most of its operation. Some of the original organizers, like board chairman Margaret Holle, are still with the organization. Volunteers are welcome, Bass said. She herself volunteers on Wednesdays. Those interested can drop by the facility.
The Freistatt Lions recently donated $1,000 to the Barry-Lawrence County Development Center in Monett. Accepting the donations was Development Center board member Shirley Bass, at center. Presenting the funds were Lions President Ronnie Dunn, at left, and Treasurer Kevin Cloud, at right. Proceeds were generated through the Freistatt Lions' annual Ernte Fest. {Times Photo]

A Lutheran Church undertaking based at St. John's Lutheran in Monett, the Braille Center produces materials shipped internationally.

The Braille Work Center opened in 1997. The Freistatt Lions have had a long association with the program, having provided $2,300 of the original $3,000 start-up money. The center is one of 200 producing Braille books around the country. The head office is located in the state of California and sends orders to Monett to be filled.
Up to 90 people volunteer regularly. Hal Schmidtke is the group leader. Work sessions are held on Tuesdays. On the day of the Freistatt Lions meeting, 25 volunteers had gathered to work in the morning, plus another eight in the afternoon. Together they printed 75 books, each running from 47 to 50 pages.
Braille books are made by placing paper inside a metal template, then running a roller through it to make impressions on the paper. Brandt shows Lions a completed copy of the "Gospel According to Matthew" that ran 97 pages. Paper for Braille books is heavier, costing around $2 a sheet. The organization spends around $400 a month on materials.
Volunteers work in a variety of different tasks. Some punch paper, others feed paper, while others work in binding or packing. Volumes produced are religious books, including a reference book on how to pronounce Biblical names. The group even makes the "Book of Judges" and the "Book of Ruth" in Spanish translations.
Shipments made the day of the meeting went to Maui, Kenya, India, and Russia. Brandt said the center has shipped books to every continent. Many go to schools, regardless of denominational affiliation. Recipients are not charged for the books. Thanks to an unusual federal law, the U.S. Postal Service ships Braille material free. Otherwise a day's shipment could run several hundred dollars in postage alone, Brandt said.
"Many who come [to volunteer] really look forward to it," Brandt said. "It's a way to get together and do something worthwhile. It's strictly a come-whenever-you-can basis." While most participating are senior citizens, even teens volunteer, he added.
Brandt thanked the Lions for supporting the Braille Center's efforts over the years.

3-30 Freistatt Lions give to Mt. Vernon children 3/25

Mt. Vernon Emergency Services for Children recently received a $1,000 donation from the Freistatt Lions Club. Jerry Wood from the Mt. Vernon organization accepted the gift at a recent Freistatt Lions Club meeting and explained what services the group offers.
Mt. Vernon Emergency Services for Children grew out of the Mt. Vernon school nurse trying to meet needs she saw among the younger students. The school counselor assisted, others got on board, a lawyer volunteered his services to set the group up as a not-for-profit organization, and the service took shape.
Last year Mt. Vernon Emergency Services for Children spent $20,000, Wood said. The money went toward buying 5,001 pints of milk for children pre-school through first grade, 149 pairs of shoes, 298 sets of clothes, 41 coats, as well as money for dental and eye exams.
Outside of the school setting, the organization assisted in helping three families burned out of their homes in the past year. Money was also donated to a family to help cover gasoline expenses to take one child to Kansas City for cancer treatments.
"When money goes for a good cause, people are really generous," Wood said.
Most of the organization's funds came from donations through individuals and churches last year. Wal-Mart had donated $1,000 and some doctors provided discounts on their services.
The Mt. Vernon Emergency Services for Children is run by a board of nine people, plus Wood as treasurer. Board members pay for their own stamps to do mailings, Wood said, and pay for their own gasoline to make shopping trips to buy donated items. Such frugality makes it possible to help more children, he added.
