Thread: The sky has finally fallen...
I wish..
..i wish if the bill that was passed & signed was called The Universal Job Reform Bill..That way, everyone, or nearly all of the unemployed and uninsured medically, and can still work, will get a 1)job and 2)healthcare insurance. 2 problems solved at once & no need for a new healthcare reform bill...*sigh*
And i am pretty sure, that bill will get a 100% support from the public!Last edited by ctjcad; 03-23-2010 at 06:42 PM.
I usually don't like to make a prediction, but if one asks me what i think about the long term effect of this HC bill, i feel, in the long run this will bankrupt the country even more and the system will be broke and U.S. will owe even more (fits perfectly with his name Broke OWEbama). Unless, we get a Prez who'll really take advantage and unleash the U.S.' abundant natural resources and not rely on foreign oil to finance this big entitlement (i'm sure master silentheart knows). Why, because as more and more people get comfortable with receiving govt. subsidized health care/insurance (yes, people like free stuff), those people will get comfortable and won't want to change. Pretty soon, if the demand is way too high, where will the money come from to sustain it??.....Just take a look at Medicare, Social Security...
Agree with you...US is gonna deficit finance this bill and the debt will increase, who ever heard of health care costs ever decline? only one way to go and that is up and up...this debt will unfortunately be passed onto those who cannot yet vote or still haven't been born yet...like it or not, baby, yours to pay in generation to come....you are correct as long as there are 30+ million Americans happily on the receiving end of this bill, I can't see any future presidential candidate dares to reverse it least it pisses of this group...maybe BO wants this bill to be passed to secure 30+ million votes towards his next term election. Just a thought!
Yes, I tend to agree that the new health care bill will not do much to significantly improve America's vital statistics in life expectancy, healthcare cost as a percent of GDP, and infant mortality rate. At best it may stop the rot that would get progressively worse if nothing is done.
At least, there is someone who has the guts to do something, because doing nothing would only mean that those shameful health indicators or statistics will simply head north.
How on earth can you defend, comparatively speaking, such shockingly dismal health of a nation with so-called more freedom of choice when there are people who get no health care at all? Of course the rich will want their freedom to choose, not always wisely.
Give the man a fish, he will be fed for 3 days. Teach a man how to fish, he will never go hungry again.
My dream is. Make the law that all employer offer medical insurance to worker. If you are a small employer who do not have the number to form a group. Then this group will have power of large number to negotiate a group price to cover the person and household. To have all people in the US want to work has a job. It may not be the best job he/she want. However, the people will have health insurance coverage. If a person do not want to work, he/she is not contributing to this society. Why should my money used to cover his/her insurance? That person is a part of the problem.
Broke OweBama has all the priorities wrong. Fix the economy first, then you can deal with other entitlements. If you can not feed the people, entitlements will only add burden to the people who is working. You have a shrinking resource while the entitlement grow. He is bankrupting US faster than any leader in the history.
No country for sick men. Newsweek Sept 28 2009.
Look Mr. C
I totally understand that you are there (in the U.S) and Im here (in AU), there are certainly lots of things that we may not understand fully about each other countries. And I appologies if i made any comment thats not appropriate to the situation in the U.S. But the fact is, i quote from Newsweek issued sept 28 2009 "22000 Americans die each year because they lack insurance; likewise, the US is the only develop nation where medical bankruptcies occur" In addition, "US lets some 700,000 people go bankcrupt each year. For me its hard to justify that US has been so helpful to others but cant do anything for thousands of her countrymen that die and bankcrupt each year for the lack of health care.
I hear these phrases/tones more times when im at Sydney eastern suburb (where I live) where in comparison to the western suburb our average income is higher. Why dont you tell this to the hard working blue collar guys next door Mr. C, Im sure he/she would not be in so much agreement with you. I agree that some people are lazy/bad/dumb/etc, about are all poor people lazy/bad/dumb/etc? Its again hard for me to justify the argument to be used for a reason not to have a public health care.
I cant really comment fully on this (since i dont have enough knowledge about US economy). For example how deep the US is in the deficit or how much this health stuff will cost. But I just dont believe if anyone tell me that US cant afford a public health care system in place. What is the difference between raising tax for a health care purpose than raising tax to build bridges? No difference. Its a matter of priority.
Each country have to take its own path in regards to this issue. Let me quote Prof Uwe Reinhart of Princeton "National values and character determine how each system works." As examples, in Germany and Austria health insurance pays for a week at a spa if a doctor prescribes it to deal with stress, in Japan and China doctors do both the prescription and selling of medicine.
The question is: who is covered? It looks like the U.S was a sole player in this issue. In UK Germany Canada France Japan Etc everybody is covered. If a public health care is not in place, in a place like US, then its likely that some people get the finest medical care while tens of thousand of others left to die for lack of care.
US pioneers in "Democracy and free speach" where everybody have equal rights, when it comes down to life and death i just dont understand why it took so long understand the concept of "health care for everybody, paid for by everybody". Here in Australia, Medicare (our public health cover) covers for everybody but not everything. Of course the wealthier people can have access to a better health service. But at least, all are covered for the basic needs.
In the US Declaration of Independence its stated "inalienable rights including a right to life" I intrepet this as an obligation of the Govt to provide a preventive health care for all American citizens. Here in Australia, Medicare (our public health cover) covers for everybody but not everything. The wealthier people can have access to a better health service, fair enough. But at least, all are covered for the basic needs.Last edited by Yoppy; 03-24-2010 at 12:54 AM.
Its also posible that other will think the same way as you. You think they dont work enough and they think you dont work enough. If thats the case, no health bill will be passed and US will still end up as the only develop country in the world without a public health care system.
Biden secretly admits that the health bill as 'This is a Big F*^#ing Deal'.

On these..
...maybe..maybe those 30+ uninsured folks actually voted him in, in hope so he can pass any kind of health care reform bill (even as bad as this)..unfortunately, this is what those 30+ million uninsured people get (i don't know how many of them are thrilled)..
So, not sure if all of them are happy or not; but i feel there are a couple or so million folks who are happy. But definitely the majority of American people are not so supportive..
IMO, this issue will probably not be revisited seriously again for at least a generation, at max. Or perhaps, earlier.
- I'll tell you guys what. I'll give 1 credit to Prez BO (and those Dems who voted for this) for passing this bill. And that credit is by forcing the passage of this bad law (which i feel he also believes, deep down, it's a bad law), this has awaken every American people, i mean literally everyone, on this healthcare issue. To some, they feel it's a start, eventhough a really bad start, to having a better healthcare system. Now, everyone is awake and are up in arms on this passage and will start to find lawmakers who will work on replacing or amending the contents of the law (yes, it's still possible). Yes, people will demand whoever is put in power next to run the Congress, those people will be put in there to work and change this law.
My thinking is, Prez BO wants to be known as the one who started this process. But not necessarily the one who finishes it, because this bill will not be the end of it all and there bound to be more changes, amendments and debates in the future on this.
- As for why there are people who don't have healthcare insurance; here are the main reasons:
a) Insurance premiums too high. But realistically, there is no easy way to lower the price. (already been discussed in the other HC thread)
b) Those people are not working, thus no health insurance. If one is not working, how would one expect to get a health insurance. Whether that person is not working because of laziness or just not qualified or major illness, that we don't know. (already been discussed in the other HC thread)
c) They just refuse to get one because he/she feels there's no need to spend their money on health insurance (mostly younger folks). Which is also their right & choice.
But this bill doesn't even solve those 3 problems on why 30+ million Americans don't have health insurance. This bill is just expanding what is already there, Medicare, and making it bigger so it can subsidize even more people.Last edited by ctjcad; 03-24-2010 at 04:13 AM.
It's good you're asking all these..
Dear Yoppy or should i call you Mr. Y (maybe you like to ask "why?" a lot)??..
Btw, you can just call me small "c". Big "C" is for Dr. Cheung..
For the 1st part, i understand you like to read Newsweek, and yes it's not a bad magazine, and i used to read that magazine every so often. But to tell you, it's a liberal leaning magazine (i'm not sure if you're a proud liberal or not?). Not to tell you to stop reading, but be aware of that and the content.
Btw, that fact & infos are already well known & documented.
Why there are so many people in the U.S. who die and go bankrupt each yr because of lack of coverage? For my answer, you can take a look above to my reply to Mr. t. The discussion for this has also been brought up in the other HC thread which you can read in its entirety, so i won't spend more time typing.
For the 2nd part, to tell you, my next door neighbors usually are not home during the day as they are at work. Again, as i already mentioned in one of my previous posts, i don't mind a change of the U.S. current health care system. The idea to expand coverage to everyone is noble and worthy, i'm not against it. Unfortunately, how to solve it "the right way" is the key and it's the toughest thing to do. And what the U.S. folks have now is a bad solution to the problem. Only a small percentage of the population likes/supports the new bill (for the most part because they don't know what's hidden in it and the long term consequences).
Thank you for admitting you're not fully aware of the U.S. economy. But to tell you, if you've been reading & following news and articles, you would already know the U.S. is in deeeeep doo-doo in terms of its national debt and deficit. Just read the last "sky is falling again" thread. We've touched on that already. You might even find a link to see how much debt the U.S. has.
Adding this new entitlement is akin to you adding a new lease to your already credit card debt. But the main problem is, the U.S. doesn't have the money to finance this new program which will, yes, increase even more in the future. So, how is the govt.(or the ones who voted for it) gonna finance this whole mess? Yesp, through even more taxation (if not printing, which will create inflation). And yes, we Americans don't like to be taxed through the roof.
Question to ask: If you have a mounting debt, does it make sense to add more debt??..And doing this is in a tough economic time??..
For the fourth part, yes, the U.S. already has Medicare and a bunch of other govt. program to provide basic medical services for the needy. In a way, U.S. has alredy some sort of a universal health care system (but in most part, it's still a private/free-market system). It's not as if the U.S. don't have one.
What the new bill is doing is basically expanding those govt. programs, mainly Medicare, even bigger. What the Democrats are doing, in their strategy, is to paint a negative picture on the insurance companies and how they jack up the prices as a basis to pass this bill. In reality, insurance companies don't make much profit. What the Democrats really want is to control the people's money even more through taxation>>IRS!!!
Some people are not covered because of the reasons i gave above (reply to Mr. t) and also because the govt. is running out of money to sustain those big govt. programs.
In regards to this new bill creating more jobs in the health industry & make the economy grow again, i'm sorry, but it's not going to. This plan will only make the already established govt. program bigger. To create new jobs, one has to go out and actually be creative and start a business. Businesses are what create the economy and the money. Not govt. nor healthcare.
And last, in regards to the "inalienable rights including a right to life" statement, yes, i understand there may be different interpretations. But it has no relation to one having the govt. deciding whether a person should get a health insurance or not. Also, there's no mention of having a "right to healthcare". Or the "govt. having a right to give healthcare". Only a "right to life".
Here, i have a good reading for you on this "inalienable rights including a right to life" issue and in relation to having a universal health care system:
Have a read on the other HC thread also. This has been pretty much covered and discussed already.Last edited by ctjcad; 03-24-2010 at 05:04 AM.
Winding up..
..there is already a public health care system in place in the U.S. And, yes, we know it's broken. Prez BO and his cohorts (the Dems) are trying to fix or think they have the right fix, but they don't. This is just a temporary patch/fix; in the long run i feel it'll fail. They are just focused on expanding the role of the govt. even more. And to have the IRS, yes, that unconstitutional body, even more power.
..you've been drumming on this for a while already..That is the correct approach to the illness!
To wind up:
- I am fully in support of a reform bill that gives coverage to nearly all Americans but at a reduced cost.
There have been great bi-partisan HC bill introduced to the Congress such as the Healthy Americans Act or HAA (or Wyden-Bennett Act, sponsore by a Democrat and a Republican, introduced under Prez W) and the Paul Ryan Act (using voucher). Yes, you guys can google them.
Both provide "universal coverage" but at a lower cost and will benefit the people's tax money. You fix both problems.
Unfortunately, the Dems who are in power refuse to accept those ideas and instead prefer to use a govt. based HC system while ignoring to tackle the cost problem. It's not as if the Republicans didn't try, but the opposition force was just too much.
I feel the opposition party (Republicans) to the bill didn't sell their plans well. I know there are more lawmakers with a doctor background in the Republican party than the Dems party. So, i'm sure they would know also issues in relation to the patients. I know they tried to offer their ideas to amend the laws but given the political nature and power of the Congress and the WH, it's almost impossible.
That's why i mentioned in the other HC thread, in order to have a good, sound and reasonable bill which the people approve, both parties need to work together: Dems have ideas on coverage measures but not cost measures. Republicans have ideas on cost measures but not coverage measures. Then, if so, they need to come and solve this as adults and provide a bipartisan solution. Instead, infighting occurred between both parties and at the end we end up with a piece of you-know-what bill.
- Going back to what i already mentioned, eventhough this is already a law, it still can be amended or some parts of it can be replaced. I give Prez BO credit for his effort to at least "force" everyone to pay attention & wake up.
Now, the role shifts to the opponents or to those who don't like the new bill. If they want to amend or replace it, yes, they can do so & have a chance in the upcoming mid-term election. The people will give them a chance and power to do so. But i really hope they will work real hard to fulfill the people's desire. Get it done & hopefully we'll have a reasonable looking bill/law that the rest of the America wants!Last edited by ctjcad; 03-24-2010 at 05:44 AM.
Mr small "c"
hi c, looks like we are a good match, i like to ask "why" a lot and you like to answer "cos" a lot hehheeh
Newsweek is happen to be the one that im reading at the moment, im not taking any political side of it. As for the answers to its content in regards to the health care casualties are just not satisfactory for me, we wont accept that condition here in Australia.
Im glad that you acknowledge that the U.S. current health care system can be improved, thats a start. This lead me to the question, did US citizen gave a mandate to Mr Pres BO during election to have it reformed? I have the impresion that he already promised about the reform during the election time, and if he did so with outlining how will he do it once elected, then he just simply keeping his promise.
I agree with you that its at the moment a bit hard especially in Australia not to make a bit of fun about US current stage of economy, its just consume and borrow too much and at risk of losing its AAA credit rating. Its unimaginable. One of the joke says, "Latest US invention: Sub-Prime Crisis, come and see it at your nearest Holywood box office".
As i said im no expert at all to comment on the affordability of the health care reform. But surely the poor or the world did not create the recession, did they? It was cause by careless US mortgage lender in the first place. So why now they (including the world economy) have to pay the price? Let me answer that Mr c, we all have to pay the price because we are all connected and we did not prevent that to happend, in other words we are all in this s**t hole together. Our economies are all linked, if the US go down the river so will the AU economy, we can only blame you guys to what happend but at the same time must be supportive on the solutions.
The same can be said to the health matter. The simple fact is there are people now going to die as we speak just because he/she dont have insurance cover (as why he/she did not have insurance is not a matter of concern anymore). It is now in the hand of US govt/people to make a choice, and i think based on that Mr. Pres BO did what he did yesterday.
A right to life is a right to life. When people is sick and dying he/she simply must receive a proper medical attention (its regardless of the end result which of course depends on the severity on the problem), this is how intrepet "a right to life" in the US independent declaration says. On your article its based on the argument/impression that "the right to the pursuit of happiness, not the right to happiness." I agree on the statement, its the same as me saying "the right to the pursuit of healthiness, not the right to healthiness". As i understand it, the health care reform is not about getting "healthy campaign", it about giving sick men and women a right to life.
Its nice to have a discussion with you, its been a pleasure . I hope everything will be OK in the US, otherwise BC wont be as interesting place to be
Can anyone explain why the US spends so much more per capita on health care yet performs so poorly against almost all developed countries? Obviously, there is something sinister about it. Maybe there are too many faked billings for services never rendered. Or maybe there are too many services that were not really necessary.
I suggest the US seek help from our Hong Kong's ICAC to find the defrauders.
Could be the docs in US are so scared of malpractice lawsuits that the docs call for all kinds of test to cover themselves that drive up the cost of healthcare delivery. And there are a lot of other maybes...
[quote=Yoppy;1401924]hi c, looks like we are a good match, i like to ask "why" a lot and you like to answer "cos" a lot hehheeh
[quote=ctjcad;1401797]Dear Yoppy or should i call you Mr. Y (maybe you like to ask "why?" a lot)??..Btw, you can just call me small "c". Big "C" is for Dr. Cheung..
Hahaha!! c and Y on opposite end of the alphabet chain.
Just a easy read and here is my conclusion.
Owebama and DamACrap lies and Re-pubic uses scare tactic.

Midnight NYE @ Aragon Ballroom
It's been a little over a week since Big Gigantic ushered fans into 2013 at Chicago's Aragon Ballroom, and I'm still coming to terms with the enormity of the evening. Nearly 100 years old, the Aragon is a Chicago landmark, boasting a spacious dance floor with surrounding balconys... and that ceiling... With images of distant nebulas and stars that literally twinkle (I swear I wasn't seeing things), the ceiling is nothing short of magical. Coming off a successful NYE run last year at the Riviera Theater, Big Gigantic couldn't have chosen a better venue for this year's New Year's bash.
Manic Focus began the night about nine, as people made their way into the ballroom, priming the crowd for Griz and ultimately Big G. We admittedly arrived shortly after ten - you try getting a dozen liquored up fools to show up somewhere on time - as Griz took the stage. The Detroit native is outa control... and I hesitate to define him with a single genre... but he's definitely a funky, soulful, electro dude (possibly from the future) who's hell bent on breakin' ya neck (download his album Mad Liberation for $Free.99 from his website mynameisgriz.com and you'll see what I mean). In addition to his own productions, Griz dabbles with the likes of Damian Marley, Two Fresh, Kanye, and Aerosmith in his collection of dub injected remixes. His set highlighted many tracks off his album Mad Liberation, including "Better Than I've Ever Been", "Smash The Funk", and "The Future Is Now." And for any Grizmatik fans out there, dropping "Digital Liberation is Mad Freedom" really took me back to their North Coast after show at Chicago's House of Blues. A moment that also hit hard was a mix of Jay-Z's "99 Problems" with Griz's remix of Two Fresh's "Du Du Doo." Needless to say, Griz was excellent - I mean, he could have taken the show to another level, but as expected with any opener, they can't go harder than the headliner. This was more than evident as Griz closed his set with a snippet of a trapped out jam that left us all wanting more. But it was time for Big G to hit the stage and reveal their new production set to be used for the rest of their winter tour.
Griz & Big Gigantic Live @ Aragon Ballroom
It was right about eleven when the lights dimmed and the stage illuminated. "WE LOVE YOU, CHICAGO... LET'S DO THIS THING!" Big G's Dom yelled as we threw our hands up, and just like that we were in it... An hour to go 'till midnight, immersed in a hot mess of hipsters, rave squirrels, and bass heads - and we were all in it together. You make friends easily at shows like these, and the strangers around you quickly become good friends within a matter of seconds. Smoke swirled towards outer space, blinding lights shot through the backs of our eyes, and some 15 to 17 displays (it was a long night) rocketed visuals from behind, in front of, and above Big G. Kicking things off with their classic "Wide Awake", Big Gigantic played many of their hits ("Polarize", "High Life", "Get 'em High (Remix)", "Let's Go", "It's Goin Down") but didn't hesitate to throw in a wide variety of headnodic tunes to keep everyone engaged and bangin'. "I Need A Dollar", "Notorious Thugs", "Dirt Off Your Shoulder", and "Hard in Da Paint" all complimented Big G's setlist, not to mention a very on point drop of Knife Party's "Bonfire." And of course, with Griz in the building, he came out to join Big G for their cooperative joint "Power" (you can cop it from either artist's SoundCloud). Luckily someone was paying attention to what time it was, as we heard "Here we go, y'all count with me okay?... 10...9..." The stage was almost too bright to see, as confetti shot out into the crowd and balloons endlessly dropped from the ceiling. The lovers loved.. brothers hugged.. and there were more high fives than you can shake a stick at. Everything was everything... And just like that it was 2013.
Countdown to Midnight 2013
Its something special - having so many like minded people under one roof, under one spell that is the music. We didn't want it to end. But you know how it is. Big G wrapped things up about a quarter to two, as we - the wide eyed, sweaty, confetti riddled youth - filed out to the streets. It was cold... damn cold. Our ears rang as we shivered our way to the after party. But all I could think about was how I can't be the only one who hopes Big Gigantic makes Chicago its annual home for New Years Eve.

Delivery spot on. Came the nxt day and in the times I was sent. Which is great as u are not sitting all day waiting. Great service.
Perfect height to have next to your bed for easy access for night feeds
My baby was getting too big for her Moses basket so I bought this, she loves it & sleeps really well in it. She has plenty of room & can really stretch out. Easy to assemble & is sturdy.
Great price, went together well, although don't tighten screws until all are in. Quality seems good and for the price, is excellent. Great next day delivery too.
My baby daughter was born six weeks premature and we found when she got home she absolutely hated her Moses basket and wouldn't settle at all so I thought I would try her in a crib. This crib was perfect as is wasn't expensive - I was worried she wouldn't like it either! However she now can sleep for up to three hours in her crib which is fantastic! I prefer it too as I can see her through the sides and make sure she is ok. My husband found it very easy to assemble and it looks lovely. Delivery was also brilliant - next day and FREE! Cannot ask for more! : )

Zynga closure tally now at 11 titles

Mafia Wars 2 to shutter at year's end
Zynga has announced the closure of Mafia Wars 21 on December 30. A follow-up to one of the social publisher's earliest major successes, the Facebook title has failed to capture long lasting interest from punters, and is the latest victim of Zynga's belt-tightening as it struggles to transition away from social gaming's apparent decline. Games.com reports players have been offered a bonus package in CastleVille, ChefVille, FarmVille 2, Mafia Wars or YoVille to compensate them for the loss of invested time.
Thanks, Kotaku.

Report – Mafia Wars 2 sheds 900,000 players
Zynga's follow-up to one of its most enduring and successful titles is reportedly under-performing.

I couldn't think of anything witty to say on this shorts post, and because of this, there isn't an esoteric shot to go along with it. That's okay, my gorgeous dog will suffice.

Join the team behind the big idea.
The Noun Project is a highly collaborative place where the world's visual language is shared and created. We are used and loved by a huge community of designers, creatives, educators, Fortune 500 companies as well as great organizations like Wikipedia, The New York Times, and the United Nations. There's a lot of great work to be done in simplifying and organizing visual communication, and to realize it, we're looking for talented people to join our crew.
Our mission is to create, share and celebrate the world's visual language. Humans have been using symbols to communicate for over 17,000 years because symbols have the power to transcend cultural and language boundaries - they are the one language everyone can understand. For the first time ever, this language is being combined with technology to create a social language that unites the world.
You can read more about us in Core77, Fast Company, The New York Times, The 99 Percent, and GOOD.
Developers & Engineers: Help build the platform that bridges communication gaps in the world
We're looking for a life learner with a proven background in modern frameworks, fluency in infrastructure and system administration, and an understanding of external APIs. You should have a few years of hard work under your belt, and be ready and knowledgeable about how to scale complex web applications, stabilize systems for high traffic, and lead a small interdisciplinary team of talented self-starters.
We enjoy working with people who are both imaginative and disciplined in their work, who see challenges as opportunities, and are great communicators and clean coders. We value creativity, innovation and an interest in building the platform that will empower the world's visual language for generations to come. Our current technology stack includes Python, Django, Redis, nginx, gunicorn, HTML5, CSS3 and javascript, but we're open to playing with new things to find the best solution possible.
Although our teams are located in Chicago and Los Angeles, we'd prefer an engineer willing to work with our team in Chicago for at least a year.
NOTE: When you apply for this position, make sure to send your resume and a link to your personal site or portfolio. Developers without a website or web portfolio need not apply. Send an email with your resume and a link to your personal site to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Petman robot rocks gas mask, chemical suit
If the apparel oft proclaims the man, as Polonius said in "Hamlet," then the camo suit proclaims the robot.
Boston Dynamics is showing off new duds for its Petman humanoid robot platform, and it looks rather badass.
Peman is a walking, squatting, flexing hazmat suit testing machine. It's designed to stand up to chemical warfare agents.
With nothing on, it looks like The Terminator. But when it's wearing this camouflage chemical suit and gas mask, you could mistake it for a real soldier. … Read more

Nuremberg – As shown in LEONI AG's interim report, consolidated external sales amounted to EUR 350 million on 31 March 2005. The figure is therefore up about 23 percent on the same quarter one year earlier (EUR 284.8 million) despite difficult market conditions. However, given the strong sales in quarters three and four of the previous year, it will not be possible to sustain this high rate of growth over 2005 as a whole. LEONI therefore reaffirms its sales forecast for fiscal 2005 of EUR 1.43 billion (up from EUR 1.25 billion in the previous year). Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) were up from EUR 9.5 million in the first quarter of 2004 to EUR 17.2 million in the same period this year, equating to growth of 81 percent. Consolidated net income increased by almost 44 percent, from EUR 5.5 million to EUR 7.9 million. In terms of operating earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT), the Company is a still aiming for a margin of seven percent over the year as a whole. However, the insolvency of LEONI's customer MG Rover must be expected to incur exceptional charges of between five and seven million euros. It is not possible at this time to state the extent to which it might be possible to offset these charges during the current financial year.
Major projects produced the anticipated growth surge
The Wiring Systems Division increased its external sales by about 36 percent to EUR 201.1 million in the first quarter of 2005, up from EUR 147.8 million in the previous year. In particular, the major projects launched in 2003 and 2004, involving the wiring systems for new Opel, Mercedes, BMW and Land Rover brand models, contributed to this sales growth. This substantial increase in sales as well as measures to optimise production and logistics also boosted the earnings of the Wiring Systems Division. Earnings before interest and taxes thus came to EUR 10.8 million at the end of the first quarter (EUR 1.1 million in the previous year). Thanks to the aforementioned large-scale projects, the Wiring Systems Division enjoys a stable order situation that will ensure further growth until 2007.
Sales growth in the Wire & Cable Division
Despite persistently difficult underlying conditions, the Wire & Cable Division generated 8.7 percent sales growth in the first quarter of 2005. Its external sales were up from EUR 137 million in the previous year to EUR 148.9 million. Earnings before interest and taxes were, at about EUR 6.4 million, down roughly 26 percent on the previous year's EBIT of EUR 8.7 million. Along with the heavy pressure on prices especially of standard products, this is attributable to restructuring of LEONI Cable Assemblies N.V. in Belgium started at the end of 2004.

I travel a lot, often to places places like Bora Bora, Maldives, Phuket, Bali, Caribbean, Hawaii, etc. The Mandarin Oriental in Sanya really exceeded... my expectation. The interior is robust and private, of very high grade. The staff are trained very well (especially in context of China PRC standards). The restaurant called Fresh is on the beach and I now see that it is appropriately named on the best restaurants in China. The noodle restaurant is also marvelous. My expectations tend to be quite high – this hotel was pretty much perfect. The beach itself is not the best but the resort is awesome. Also, the concierge could use some work, as for the wifi connection in the rooms. But other than these items, this hotel is really at the highest end and I highly recommend. – CrayolaLife from Hong Kong by CrayolaLife from Hong Kong on 07/07/13

Linux Server Market Continues to Grow
The global server market continues to grow with Linux servers playing a major role: for the fifth time in succession, Linux server business achieved double-figure growth in the second quarter of 2007.
Statistics published by US market researchers Gartner and IDC reveal the trend. All told, manufacturers increased turnover by 5 percent (Gartner) or 6 percent (IDC) in the second quarter of 2007. This is equivalent to a total of US$ 13 billion. According to IDC Linux servers account for US$ 1.8 billion of this figure, representing 19 percent growth in servers with the free operating system pre-installed in the second quarter. The market share rose from 12.1 in the same quarter last year to 13.6 percent this year. Microsoft is still the market leader with a share of 38.2 percent, US$ 5 billion turnover, and a similar growth rate of 18.7 percent. The loser would seem to be Unix with turnover down by 4 percent and a market share of 31.7 percent.
Researchers from both Gartner and IDC see IBM on top of hardware vendors with a turnover of some US$ 4 billion, closely foolowed by HP (US$ 3.7 billion) and Sun with US$ 1.7 billion. Big Blue was able to maintain its market share with its System x, z and System p servers. HP's big sellers are the ProLiant and Blade Servers, while Sun scores with its T1000 and T2000 systems, and dominates the Unix market with Solaris. Dell improved turnover by 20 percent but stays in fourth place.
According to market researchers, growth was driven by products for the X86 platform; at the same time, researchers identified increased demand for more storage. A strong underlying demand for increased capacity and new applications is driving volume growth in spite of potential inhibitors like virtualization and economic concerns." says Jeffrey Hewitt, Vice President for Market Research with Gartner. Competitor IDC sees new IT tasks and a strong wave of regular hardware updates as the driving force behing growth.

"With unemployment at the lowest it's been since the recession and our economy on the comeback, Pennsylvania's businesses have the confidence to invest in new growth," Corbett said. "Our support of that growth is resulting in new jobs for Pennsylvanians and the opportunity to live well and invest in the future."
At its September meeting, PIDA approved nearly $5.07 million in low-interest loans for three projects, one each in Lancaster, Luzerne and Westmoreland counties, that are projected to create 62 new jobs and retain 214 positions. The projects will also result in an additional $15.9 million invested into the region by the businesses for the projects.
In 2013, PIDA has approved $52.6 million in low-interest loans that have resulted in $95.9 million in private investment and supported 9,806 jobs.
PIDA provides capital for building acquisition, construction and renovation work, primarily for manufacturers, industrial developers, research and development firms, agricultural processors and employers looking to establish national or regional headquarters in Pennsylvania.

My name is Peter Pitorri and this is my first blog. I plan to write about things like employment with the U.S. Government, getting a clearance, how the Feds conduct background investigations (called background checks in private industry) how private companies conduct them. As well, I will be sharing information about security management and how to do a risk assessment or risk analysis — you want to do this before you spend money on protection!
Most folks would like to verify credentials of a person who professes to have in-depth knowledge about given topics. (For example, What did the NSA do to Americans under the Bush administration that the Soviets did to Americans during the Cold War?) If you want to find out more about me, you could do it several ways: Go to my business web site http://www.pitorriassociates.com; put peter pitorri into Google; or just Google pitorri associates.
Let me talk with you first about physical security. A dear friend of mine had a job with a place that sold "electronic security" stuff. That would have been a great place to start a career in physical security; however, she questioned how the one related to the other. Too bad the people she worked for failed to help her make the connection; that makes them hardware hustlers, not security specialists. Here is what I mean:
As soon as you begin to consider buying or leasing alarm systems — or any kind of protection, consider the following algorithm:
1. Evaluate your Assets (If you do not know what you are protecting, and what it is worth, how would you recognize the most cost-effective protection?)
2. Analyze the Threat (If there is none, then you do not need protection!)
3. Evaluate Vulnerabilities (Each Asset must be correlated with a threat and all the vulnerabilities to that threat.)
4. Conduct a Benefit/Cost analysis. (How much protection do you really need, what kind, and at what price? Here is where you examine the Level of Acceptable Risk, just like our insurance companies do.)
5. Recommend Improvement Options (These would be the Big Fix to your protection; but now you have Protection With a Purpose. The best system for your goals.)
Security consists of interrelated barriers. Perhaps a fence (to keep out kids, animals, and people who cannot climb); a microwave radar detection system inside the fence; outdoor lighting; dogs, guards, a moat, crocodiles….you get the idea.
Or maybe you just need to turn on your outside lights at night, and use those great locks that you installed!

The Dallas Galleria is not the only good place for shopping. The Highland Park Village has great options and very good restaurants, and is located in the north of downtown, on Mockingbird Lane and Preston Street. You may be asked your Starbucks coffee to enjoy while strolling through the shops and boutiques. Cole Han and Chanel are a couple of businesses located in this shopping center, along with beauty centers, health centers, a cinema, bakery and restaurants.
Do not want to miss a trip to the electric trams Trolleys or McKinney Avenue, connecting the District of Northern Arts and the picturesque and historic area of ??Uptownn. Uptown is an upscale area that features dozens of boutiques, galleries, hotels and restaurants including the Hard Rock Café. His experience in Uptown include first-class dining in fine restaurants, shopping, first class and first class art.

Right away but right now we're gonna dig -- dig into the small business here couple special guest with us mice to walker is with us president of message medium.
-- she's joining us is an Internet strategist columnist we also have Jerry Siegel who's the president of -- near.
Talking to us and they are conducted a survey of small businesses and and helps them.
Good advice I think for many small business owners and how better to use social media for marketing in that we -- just talking prior to the start here.
About whether or not should be up tweeting -- at 2 AM NI MI -- -- about the magic number of hours.
A little bit that you found from this survey and and tells a little bit of back -- about serving as well who you've surveyed and and how these findings can help you figure out how many hours you need to dedicate to do this when you are may be running the shop all by yourself.
Yes so it was very interesting being found that from the data that was submitted by small business owners and non profits we surveyed hundreds of small business and it's nearly a thousand.
And the data that was submitted actually show that the magic number was around 25 hours a week.
And I know that sounds like a large number probably a lot of people listening but some really exciting and very good things start to happen when people get that number we saw.
That there was a group of power users that we identified from our survey results.
The consistently hit that number.
And -- -- -- and they often would find that there number FaceBook followers with triple the number of regular a small business owners.
The number of Twitter followers they had was seven times a number of small business owners.
And that confidence level in using these tools which I think is a big factor for for a lot of people the confidence was double the normal rate.
So it is just a tipping point for businesses to be able to you.
Use these rules -- Within that Jerry do you find you have for small businesses are way did you find any shortcuts is there way to condensed what people are doing and we've IR -- maybe.
-- the best of -- than the must -- If you can't dedicate that's almost another part time job -- point five -- a majority in the Stewart sixty hours a -- -- we're doing whatever your businesses.
So I'm gonna say that on the 25 Harris isn't just one person throughout the organization.
And you want to work -- as a team.
Are -- things that you can do more effectively absolutely so their tools for Twitter to make it -- use.
And it's really important to educate yourself.
And train yourself so that you or more efficient -- the cut the amount of time you spend.
Using social media.
-- Terry talked about five social media tools are very effective was at the same five for everyone our people found that using five.
The of the five tool player if you will.
So that's a great question so no surprise FaceBook is number one followed by -- yet common things that linked in Twitter.
Blogging and I'm gonna throw in a 61 which is -- to consent of one of the get you to.
What we found is among the power uses those people that -- using 25 hours or more.
Is that they are aligning.
-- and the target market they want to reach.
-- if and the right social median platform so you've really do need to know which platform does well does well in if you get a digital dot.
It's did -- digital dot.
Now I'm forgetting it gets any updated its data knowing about how dot -- you'll get the full report in which we have a chart saying which.
Online marketing tools work best for.
Which purpose us.
-- semi -- their way to find out like maybe putting out special deal only through.
One of these social mediums like yes maybe Twitter has like a special for today -- -- to -- -- Which one reaches your audience -- it has now clearly and in different geographies -- you know you have different access to.
-- bandwidth or maybe people or more in the FaceBook in certain areas and they aren't Twitter and in in the adoption rate must be different for all of.
Yes that's absolutely true what we really found was that.
Small businesses are starting to recognize.
Things that marketing experts kind of have known for awhile which is that you really have to masks.
What you're doing for you or individual business with what your target audience is really.
What -- what your target audience is doing so you know the fastest growing group of people on FaceBook is women over 55 a lot of people don't realize that I did.
-- -- So I think if you're targeting women that could be a women over 55 -- to be a great audience for you.
But you're targeting teenagers are you know people that are younger than thirteen they're technically not been allowed to be on -- -- you really need to me straight that.
You are matching the goals of your programs up according to you which schools are going to be -- effective for you.
And then you are also measuring things so.
How well -- the technique that technique that you're using actually doing to accomplish those goals.
On the and then make sure that you're being nimble so adjusting the tactics that you're using.
To match the results so when you read the results -- you.
You know smiling sometimes it's hard to -- followed -- you really focusing on what those results are showing you said that you can't.
Uses tactics more effectively yeah.
You're just gonna -- in your survey you have some guidelines and outlined news the most effective ways that.
The people can market their small business actually.
Yeah so actually wanna -- and -- and just expand a little bit on what my issue with saying that the terms of the target market so for example if you were targeting women over 55 -- looks fine which was one of the case studies that we did.
They found consumers were really well for them if you're targeting that teens do something -- pet thing.
It's the way to.
Reach people so even though these may not be the top five social media.
They are very effective at using.
I think certain some like interest are growing and particularly in that demographic guys and -- you have to know again -- -- -- you're trying to -- in and which.
-- media is best and then again so they can find more that information through your survey I think it.
Absolutely -- with -- -- digital.
I can't seem to get it did did -- the digital dabbling that come.
About him.
Maybe looking at a little bit of that right now on online right now so.
October is also about how big companies might you can help some of the smaller companies out maybe there are small companies can learn from big companies mistakes and experienced well.
That's really exciting opportunity and that holds carrying an imminent on that TV she's got a lottery things to say about it but there's a really big opportunity for companies to be reviewed -- hero.
For larger companies to be the hero for smaller businesses.
-- really don't always -- opportunity to find the right training find the right resources.
And a lot of companies out there we're providing social media marketing services.
And programs and software for small businesses.
Haven't necessarily provided all the training and the -- sources.
That these businesses need in order to learn how to use these -- aggressively.
So there's a great opportunity for a lot of these companies are providing these tools and services.
To just do a better job and step up their -- a bit on the training and information that they provide.
And and I think.
There's not a big need for these small businesses to go out and find great resource his mind experts who they can hire.
But then also -- -- -- these companies and -- please give me more information on how to use your software.
Specifically for the kind of business that I'm running.
And of course the corporations benefit because it grows there the usage of their -- right.
So they need to provide a variety of tools -- -- small businesses learn in a variety of different ways so it could be anything from.
Webinars to online resource says and what we also found is what differentiates.
Power users from regular -- -- If they really rely on experts.
So if I were that would -- online marketing social media companies -- -- and outside experts to what talk to small businesses.
Last question very briefly what defines the power user.
-- -- at more than 25 hours a week -- 45 hours week that seems to be the sweet spot.
A lot of hours but I guess you'll see results that seems to be at well thank you so much Jerry steel and -- a walker for joining us here and a stimulate discussion on how to better market yourself these exit from the answer which seems to be -- its continues to grow and -- we'll have.

Putting Integrity into Finance: A Purely Positive ApproachWerner ErhardIndependent Michael C. JensenHarvard Business School; Social Science Electronic Publishing (SSEP), Inc.; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); European Corporate Governance Institute (ECGI) March 3, 2013 Harvard Business School NOM Unit Working Paper No. 12-074 Barbados Group Working Paper No. 12-01 Abstract: The seemingly never ending scandals in the world of finance – in spite of all the various efforts to curtail the behavior that results in those scandals – argues for a shift in the current paradigm of financial economics. We summarize here our new theory of integrity that reveals integrity as a purely positive phenomenon, and discuss the significant implications of integrity as a positive phenomenon for both the theory and practice of financial economics. In our positive theory of integrity, we define integrity as the state of being whole, complete, unbroken, unimpaired, sound, in perfect condition. Thus, integrity as we define it is not a virtue; there is nothing inherently good or bad about it. Something is either whole and complete (etc.) or it isn't. We go on to define what must be whole and complete for 1) an object or for 2) a system to be in integrity. We also define what must be whole and complete for 3) a human being (a person) or for 4) any human entity (such as a corporation) to be in integrity. As is the case with any positive phenomenon, there are effects caused by actions related to that phenomenon. With the positive phenomenon of gravity for example, the action of stepping off a cliff will cause an effect (whether one likes the effect or not). Likewise, action that is consistent or inconsistent with the nature of integrity as a positive phenomenon will also cause an effect (again, whether one likes the effect or not). Because integrity has generally been treated as nothing more than a virtue (a normative phenomenon), the damaging effects of out-of-integrity actions are assigned to causes other than out-of-integrity actions – that is, these damaging effects are assigned to false causes. This makes the actual source of the damaging effects of out-of-integrity actions invisible to us. As a result, in spite of all the attempts to police the false causes of these damaging effects, the out-of-integrity actions that are the actual source of these effects continue to be repeated. We go on to argue that there are large effects (increases in workability, value, and quality of life) to be realized by putting integrity as a positive phenomenon into the theory and practice of finance. You the reader must judge for yourself if these effects are desirable.

(Inspired by Sherlock.)
Welcome to my side of the Gallery. I drabble in drawings and the like. I am more experienced with traditional, though recently (aka a few days ago) I have been dipping my toes into the waters of digital and all of that jazz.
I have decided to start this little Sketchbook in hopes I can start receiving pointers and grow on my work. It may take a bit, but I will be transferring my traditional drawings here, too. My tools for traditional are the basics: various-sized Pencils, Shaders, Erasers, and normal printer Paper. My tools for digital: GIMP and Bamboo CREATE.
Like I said, I am very new at Digital work and my Traditional work can be improved tremendously. I encourage people to tell me what I can improve on, but don't forget to throw some good into the mix. Basically, what did I do well and what can be improved. You can also tell me that it's beautiful or it's the worst piece of art you have ever seen in your life. All depends on you.
Thank you for taking a gander at my work. :)
