			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>http://www.lewrockwell.com/williams-w/w-williams24.html</p>
<p>Bill Gates is the world&#8217;s richest person, but what kind of power does he have over you? Can he force your kid to go to a school you do not want him to attend? Can he deny you the right to braid hair in your home for a living? It turns out that a local politician, who might deny us the right to earn a living and dictates which school our kid attends, has far greater power over our lives than any rich person. </p>
<p>Rich people can gain power over us, but to do so, they must get permission from our elected representatives at the federal, state or local levels. For example, I might wish to purchase sugar from a Caribbean producer, but America&#8217;s sugar lobby pays congressmen hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions to impose sugar import tariffs and quotas, forcing me and every other American to purchase their more expensive sugar.</p>
<p>Politicians love pitting us against the rich. All by themselves, the rich have absolutely no power over us. To rip us off, they need the might of Congress to rig the economic game. It&#8217;s a slick political sleight-of-hand where politicians and their allies amongst the intellectuals, talking heads and the news media get us caught up in the politics of envy as part of their agenda for greater control over our lives.</p>
<p>The sugar lobby is just one example among thousands. Just ask yourself: Who were the major recipients of the billions of taxpayer bailout dollars, the so-called Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP)? The top recipients of TARP handouts included companies such as Citibank, AIG, Goldman Sachs and General Motors. Their top management are paid tens of millions dollars to run companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, were it not for billions of dollars in taxpayer money. Politicians preach the politics of envy whilst reaching into the ordinary man&#8217;s pockets, through the IRS, and handing it over to their favorite rich people and others who make large contributions to their election efforts. </p>
<p>Do you agree or disagree?<br />
<br />You (and the article you cite) have framed the issue incorrectly.  Liberals are correctly emphasizing a basic problem in our government. The policies that tend to favor the interests of the wealthy and those of big corporations over those of the American public are a problem in our politics.  This is supposed to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people.</p>
<p>You correctly point out the influence of lobbyists on government.   For each and every member of Congress there are many lobbyists from each of various industries. Their influence is undue. Obviously they are representing their own interests and not those of the general public. </p>
<p>We need to counter that undue influence from those entities that have huge concentrations of wealth and demand reform in the system that aids this influence. </p>
<p>We elect the politicians. We therefore are at fault for letting this situation continue. </p>
<p>Unfortunately, our efforts are being further undermined by the conservatives on the Supreme Court who issued a decision allowing corporate entities even more, and probably overwhelming,  influence on the political process.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am a marketing manager for a family-owned company and I have been working there for almost a decade.</p>
<p>The company&#8217;s background consists of just under 100 employees: a) About 10-12 members of upper management, b) 5-10 middle managers, and c) the rest office and warehouse employees &#8211; a characteristic of a medium-sized company.</p>
<p>The company itself is a place where nepotism and favoritism run rampant. e.g. Members of upper management are either family members or friends of the owner of the company. And favoritism seems to be in &quot;favor&quot; of employees who aren&#8217;t deemed a &quot;threat&quot; or those who &quot;brown-nose.&quot;</p>
<p>To make this long story short, I am a driven time-conscious manager who strives to make sure that the work is completed on time. I also have an assistant who works under me that is very good at what she does. HOWEVER, WHAT CONCERNS ME IS THAT MY BOSS WANTS ME TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP HER TO ENSURE THAT SHE IS SUCCESSFUL. </p>
<p>Why does that concern me? It is because I&#8217;ve been with my company for a long time and my boss has not even granted me responsibilities that are traditional of my title of Marketing Manager.</p>
<p>These duties include, but not limited to: 1) attending management seminars to further my skills, 2) attending trade shows which showcases products in the market that my company can carry, and 3) Budgeting for my department.</p>
<p>I am very confident in my skills but I have a feeling that I have outgrown my position at work and feel that I cannot grow any more since the company is family-owned. The prestigious positions are usually reserved for family and friends anyway. I&#8217;ve also had talks with my boss during reviews and certain &quot;down times&quot; at work about how I want to continuously improve as a manager so I can be an asset&#8230;.But he doesn&#8217;t listen. By the way, my boss has a reputation of undermining managers and/or employees he sees as a threat to his employment. He is also a procrastinator who does not accept accountability when he or his undermanagers fail.</p>
<p>He keeps telling me to develop my employee. He even admires my employee to the point that I feel that he is using her as a &quot;veil&quot; to cover up for his mistakes.</p>
<p>TO ALL EXPERTS OUT THERE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED OR ARE EXPERIENCING WHAT I&#8217;M GOING THROUGH, IS THIS A JOB SECURITY CONCERN?</p>
<p>IF SO, WHAT SIGNS CAN I LOOK FOR TO FIND OUT IF JOB SECURITY IS SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT?<br />
<br />Tricky situation.  It could certainly be a job security situation but even worse your boss just might promote the assistant above you if you say the company is prone to nepotism and favoritism.  They probably won&#8217;t let you go because you&#8217;ve been there for so long and you seem to get the job done, however, if you&#8217;re not politically savvy or a brown noser who tells the executives what they want to hear then you certainly risk the chance at being cast aside until the company comes up with a reason to downsize.  It could be that your boss is intimidated by you and your potential so he will continuously try to suppress your advancement. He could be doing one of two things though &#8211; if you look at it optimistically.  If you are an excellent marketing guru but a &quot;not so great&quot; manager then it is possible that your boss is trying to round out your experience by having you focus on developing people.</p>
<p>If I were you, I would play the &quot;game&quot; and develop the employee.  At the same time try to do your own dose of moderate brown nosing with your boss and start sharing your ideas on how to improve the department/processes etc.  This way you continue to show your value.  As far as your development, if your employer refuses to invest in your development then you have to do it on your own outside.  It sucks but the only person that suffers either way is you.  Keep up your skills so that you will always remain competitive in the market place. </p>
<p>There is some reason why your boss doesn&#8217;t trust you.  All of us encounter some form of this behavior in our careers  &#8211; even in Fortune 100 companies who are ruled by the &quot;Old boy network.&quot;  It&#8217;s the exact same thing as working for the type of company you described. Try picking up the book &quot;Working with Emotional Intelligence&quot; by Daniel Goleman.  It helped me strategize how to go up against the &quot;old boy network&quot; and navigate through the political web.  If you&#8217;re a heavy reader you can try &quot;The Prince&quot; by Niccolo Machiavelli as well.  Also start looking else where for work, post your resume &#8211; stay on top of your game and don&#8217;t let anyone shake your confidence.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a Sony Vaio VGC-RA826G(UC) and im running windows 7. My sound was working fine, till about a month ago it suddenly went out. My computer says their is no sound problem and my sound botton on the right of the screen if active while playing any sound. I initially tried system restore, no luck.

Falconhead Capital Forms GPSI Holdings, World&#8217;s Leading Provider of Cart-Mounted Gps Services to Golf Courses </p>
<p>Three-Way Merger Creates Market Leader With Systems Deployed on Nearly 1,000 Courses; Extensive Synergies Position New Company for Long-Term Success<br />
NEW YORK, Oct 16, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) &#8212; &#8211;Partners With Greg Norman<br />
Falconhead Capital, LLC, a private equity firm specializing in consumer-focused businesses in the leisure, lifestyle, sport and media categories, today announced the formation of GPSI Holdings, LLC (&quot;GPSI&quot;), the world&#8217;s leading provider of cart-mounted GPS services to golf courses. GPSI was created through the acquisition of and subsequent three-way merger of GPS Industries, Inc., ProLink Systems, Inc., and a series of assets previously owned by David Chessler, who has been named CEO of GPSI. GPS Industries was acquired through a sale process conducted under Section 363 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Financial terms of the transactions were not disclosed. </p>
<p>Falconhead has immediately established GPSI as the leading player in the golf cart-mounted GPS industry globally, with systems deployed on nearly 1,000 courses predominantly in North America and Europe. Falconhead expects that the acquisition of these businesses at very attractive valuations, and their combination, will result in significant cost, revenue and technological synergies that will position GPSI for significant profitable growth. In particular, GPSI will implement extensive product and service improvements that will benefit customers and enhance the playing experience for players around the world. </p>
<p>Falconhead&#8217;s partner in GPSI is Greg Norman, the professional golfer and head of Great White Shark Enterprises, a corporation primarily focused on golf. Mr. Norman, a long-time member of Falconhead&#8217;s advisory board, was involved in conceiving and executing the transactions. He will own a significant equity stake in GPSI and has entered into an agreement to promote the company&#8217;s business. </p>
<p>As part of GPSI&#8217;s long-term growth strategy, the Company has established an exclusive partnership with Club Car to leverage its sales force of more than 120 representatives and its extensive global distribution network. Club Car, a member of the Industrial Technologies sector of Ingersoll-Rand plc (NYSE: IR), is a leading manufacturer of golf cars, utility vehicles and a wide range of task-oriented vehicles serving multiple markets. </p>
<p>David S. Moross, chairman and chief executive officer of Falconhead Capital, said: &quot;We are proud to create the leading provider of cart-mounted GPS services to golf courses. The transactions that led to the formation of GPSI Holdings further demonstrate our ability to pursue and complete complex investment opportunities, and the new company is highly complementary to our investment strategy given our long ties to golf, and our expertise in leisure and lifestyle. By bringing together these three businesses, we have created a new company with the financial strength, operational efficiency, technology expertise, business model and geographic reach necessary to succeed over the long term. </p>
<p>&quot;We are fortunate that our friend Greg Norman is our partner in GPSI, given his immense stature in the golf world as a player and businessman. We look forward to working together to further build this powerful platform,&quot; Mr. Moross concluded. </p>
<p>Mr. Norman said, &quot;This transaction further promotes the consolidation of the industry which started with GPS Industries&#8217; acquisition of UpLink in late 2008 and now includes the merger with ProLink and ProView. This consolidation, together with other strategies, several of which specifically capitalize on the current economic landscape, will position GPSI to realize its full potential. It has been a pleasure to work closely with David and the Falconhead team, and we look forward to a very successful venture.&quot; </p>
<p>About Falconhead Capital </p>

<p>About Great White Shark Enterprises </p>
<p>Great White Shark Enterprises is a multi-national corporation headed by Greg Norman with offices in West Palm<br />
<br />Isn&#8217;t GPSNQ in bankruptcy??  Any monies, from the acquisition, will first be used to pay off creditors.  Next to pay off bond holders.  Anything that is left, will go to stockholders.  You as a stockholder are last on the list.  </p>
<p>Your shares will be canceled &amp; you will get nothing.  Once GPSNQ entered bankruptcy that was a near certainty.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have a pretty solid resume as far as advancement and responsibilities go. I&#8217;ve worked for this software dev. firm for almost 2 years now. I started out in administration, then moved to HR and financing, now I&#8217;m in the QA/Software testing role. Its a very demanding position as I have been and am still currently the only tester (minus the automation tools we utilize). I&#8217;ve always been tech savvy, I know my way around IT troubleshooting, updating, and installing and have a knack for picking up anything tech. Its hard to relay that sort of information on a resume, though, any suggestions?</p>
<p>In my current role, I&#8217;m basically the sole testing engineer and release manager. I use MySql and Oracle databases, utilizing queries and sql scripts, configuring configuration/xml files, building the software locally, and deploying for demonstrations and company wide testing. I feel I have a good grasp on what it takes, but really lack the years many companies are looking for, its just hard to relay the fact that I&#8217;m the sole person for this stuff, hence the quick and deep immersion into it all. I would love to learn more, but there aren&#8217;t any local colleges/universities that offer more tech classes that I&#8217;d like to take. Those that do are not just rip-offs, but not the exact field I&#8217;m interested in. I would love to be a developer (not programmer) or business analyst/QA manager. </p>
<p>Does anyone have experience in this, and if so, what would you recommend to someone in their latter 20s looking to make a profession out of it? I love to read and try things out on my own, so self-teaching is cool by me. I&#8217;ve recently started self-teaching on web development, am very creative and again, just love technology. Thanks in advance.</p>
<p>Finally, I have experience in high tech&#8230;the company I work for writes software management tools for companies looking to track assets utilizing Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology.<br />
<br />1. Have you talked to your current company about your desires.  They may want to consider a new line of service that would fit your desires.<br />
2.  You do not need to concern yourself with your ability to describe your duties.  If someone has a need for your skills, they will be able to understand your description of your experience and skills..<br />
3.  From working in the tech field (not computers) I know that your enthusiasm for technology will carry you a long way with someone looking for your background. I know if I was still working and needed someone with your background, I would give you a try.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m still not actively trying to grow a financial planning practice because I can&#8217;t determine how I want to charge, in fear of overcharging.<br />

<p>Any suggestions would be great and appriciated<br />
<br />12b-2 fees are not necessaruily unfair, it is a method of paying for distribution.  If you want to buy a T. Rowe fund from your broker, how is your brokerto be comepnsated? Either use loads/commisions or 12b-1 fees.  It is not unfair as it is disclosed.  If you want cheaper funds go for fidelity or T. Rowe funds.</p>
<p>FYI, the listed fees are not the only fees charged, brokegrage commissions, law suits, other extraordinary expenses, etc are not reflected in the fee table, they are instead reflect in the basis (performance).</p>
<p>An example of unfair pricing.<br />
A fidleity S&amp;P500 fund costs 10 BP; look up what Morgan Stanleys fees are ( plus any loads).  Now that is expensive.</p>
<p>Also as an advisor, things are even more awkawrd.  You are paying for a finacial advisor so you have professional management; you then buya mutual fund for its professional management; why pay two levels of fees for professional management?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>the UAE&#8217;s and Saudi&#8217;s ability to buy our bonds in the near future?<br />
http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&amp;sid=aFIHYzyZB0gA</p>
<p>‘Never Go Bust’ Families Mean End of Easy Credit (Update2) </p>
<p> Sept. 17 (Bloomberg) &#8212; Maan al-Sanea, one of Saudi Arabia’s richest men, operates his corporate empire barricaded behind a four-foot high concrete wall, painted in bright red stripes. A second, higher wall is topped with barbed wire, a reminder of the terrorist attack on his company’s nearby residential compound five years ago that killed 22 people.</p>
<p>Now al-Sanea is under a different kind of siege, this time from the family he married into and helped make him wealthy. In a region where business disputes are routinely settled in private, the family feud between the two most prominent names in the Saudi oil city of Al-Khobar &#8212; Algosaibi and al-Sanea &#8212; has erupted into public and curbed lending across the Gulf.</p>
<p>Eighty banks, including BNP Paribas SA and Citigroup Inc., are owed at least $15.7 billion, sparking a flurry of litigation. The battle has increased pressure for more transparency among the region’s family-run firms and less reliance on name lending, or borrowing based on reputation.</p>
<p>“With Maan al-Sanea or the Algosaibi family, the perception was that they would never go bust or never default,” Yazan Abdeen, a Dubai fund manager at ING Investment Management, said. “Facts are showing that this can happen. The banks in Saudi, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates will get a hit, and this will make the banks alter their own lending models. It’s like a ‘black swan’ event, something no one saw coming.”</p>
<p>Al-Khobar, an oil-rich seaside city in the Persian Gulf, 250 miles east of Riyadh, is the center of a legal and financial struggle that has seen some of the Algosaibis accuse al-Sanea, ranked 62nd on this year’s Forbes magazine list of richest people, in court filings of siphoning off $10 billion in assets while he was running a money-management business for them.</p>
<p>Accounts Frozen</p>
<p>The Saudi Arabian central bank ordered a freeze of al- Sanea’s accounts, bankers familiar with the instructions said on May 31. The Algosaibis then used a Cayman Islands court order to try to freeze $9.2 billion of his assets, court documents show.</p>
<p>“All of the allegations made are wholly without foundation,” al-Sanea’s company, Saad Group, said yesterday in an e-mailed statement. “While maintaining an absolute focus on its own restructuring, the Saad Group will respond appropriately and in a timely fashion to the erroneous claims made against it. However, this will be through a proper judicial process and not through the media.”</p>
<p>The Algosaibis declined to comment for this story, James Courtovich, a Washington-based spokesman for the family, said. </p>
<p>read the rest&#8212; http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601109&amp;sid=aFIHYzyZB0gA<br />
<br />Yeah, but  not as much as latin america agreeing to a centralized currency zone not based on the dollar, etc.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Am a SW professional working in Chennai as a Project manager in a medium size company.  I have three dependents [ Wife and two kids ].  Am the only earning member in my family and whatever earned was earned by me alone.  There was no asset or anything through my parents are my wife parents.  Only asset they have given us are Education.</p>
<p>I had purchased a house in Saligramam area for 13L and to meet the other basic expenses I had to go for some personal loan since I do not have any other money with me.  So My total Loan amount was aroune 16.5L.  I was paying nearly 21k as EMI every month.  Everything was fine till last year,  till ICICI blocked my savings account due to my CREDIT Card payment pending.  This is the only mistake I had did inspite of my father&#8217;s advice.  Even for that I was paying properly.  At one stage I wanted to close the CC.  When I visited their branch there was no proper response.  So I took it easily.  But one fine day everything was colapsed.  Since my account was blocked, I started receiving Cheques from my company as salary [ Being a small company and am in Sr. Management Level it was possible ] and used to pay most of the EMI thru cash since all the ECS was bouncing back from the back.  Some how I had manager till January.  January the situation has become worst that the salary from the company has got delayed at the begining and after two months we started receiving only 40% to 50% of the salary.  </p>
<p>Now my debts are around 16.5L [ Including the credit Card and other petty loans ].  Just now the thing is getting regularised and atleast am geting 50% of salary on date.  One of my friend suggested that I should top up my housing loan [ the value of the house now is around 10 to 25L ] with 3 or 4 L more and close all other loans and pay only for housing loan.  This would be possible only if i go to another bank.  Bank can direclty make payment to me creditors to assure that I am not misusing the money again.  </p>
<p>I know this is really tough task.  Non of the above was intentional.  I need to come out of this issue and being the first own house bought in our generation I do not want to loose this also.  I am prepared to make the payment through my office directly from my salary.</p>
<p>I do not even know some1 has faced this kind of situation in life.  I need some help on how to overcome this situation.  If anyone had and banking relations who has some idea on how to help me, please help me in this situation.<br />
<br />There are lots of people who has faced such situations. You should improve ur qualifications and try for a job which gives u better salary. Take help of law if that bank doesn&#8217;t respond to u properly.</p>
