Voting Question: I am a marketing major that is graduating in a year. Is it legal to create...?

Is it legal to create marketing materials to beef up your resume? Lets say it was posters and videos; would I get in trouble for using copyrighted items such as logos and trademarks to create something an advertising agency might create? I have some background in web design and filming and editing videos and would like to know if the below scenarios are viable. Example: Diet Pepsi. I like drinking Diet Pepsi and would create a 30 second "TV commercial" that I think a typical advertising agency would produce (although on a much lower budget and scale) Example 2: Video games. Lets say a new highly anticipated video game will be coming out and I then go and create a typical 1 page magazine advertisement for it. Question 1: Is it okay for me to do both? Question 2: What if I decided to upload both the video and poster to media sites such as facebook, youtube, and my own personal website (like in a list of "fake ads" I've made) Question 3: I know credit should be given where credit is due, so if I clearly state that I do not own any of the copyrights and trademarked terms in both the videos/posters/websites somewhere, would that be ok? Question 4: Is there a correct term for what I want to do above? Creating fake ads to showcase my creative talents. Sorry for the lengthy question, but times are hard and jobs are scarce...companies only seem to want to hire high gpa / Ivy league students or even accomplished professionals for entry level positions. I thought by doing this, I may have a stronger resume and be more competitive for an internship! Thanks in advance! more

Voting Question: Is this a good idea?- please give me your feedback.?

Most websites are currently made in the UK (if you instruct a UK company), including all of the design and development. However, Indian and other low cost markets are now highly recognised. It is an option to instruct a designer/ developer in one of these low cost companies for about £10 per hour (compared to £30 per hour in the UK). Obviously, you cannot meet designers/ developers from India on a face-to -face basis, or speak to them on the phone on a regular basis. I am thinking about starting a UK based agency. It will provide experienced website designers/ developers for £17 per hour. You will be able to meet an experienced website designer on a face-to-face basis, and speak to them on the phone during normal business hours; in fact it will be exactly like dealing with a regular website design company, which is locally based. However, to save you over 40% of the price, the design/ development will be completed in a low cost company- like India. You will have a locally based experienced designer to speak too whenever you please. Why do I think you would choose to use this company? •Save over 40% off the price - compared to using a regular locally based website design company •You will have a dedicated, experienced website designer/ project manger to speak to; who will be based locally too you. Would you use a web design company like this? more

Resolved Question: Why does this college professor still have a job, he’s aiding and abetting illegal immigration?

An activist Chicano professor at a taxpayer-funded university has created special technology to help Mexicans enter the United States illegally by mapping the safest routes through the notoriously rigorous southern border desert. Subjects: Illegal Immigration, Transborder Immigrant Tool, U.S./Mexico border, Border Patrol, Ricardo Dominguez, taxpayers November 17, 2009 Judicial Watch The innovative Transborder Immigrant Tool is a simple mobile application—inserted into the cheapest available cell phone on the market—which guides illegal aliens through the least dangerous routes, areas with shelter, food, water and so-called Quaker help centers that provide medical attention and directions to the nearest major U.S. highway. The Transborder Immigrant Tool is simply the latest of several devices created by members of a technologically sophisticated, pro illegal immigration group (Mexico/U.S. Border Disturbance Art Project) that aims to help Mexican migrants evade the U.S. Border Patrol. The new mobile program is touted as an “intelligent agent algorithm” that parses out the best routes and trails on a particular day and hour so that Mexicans can cross the “vertiginous landscape” as safely as possible. It was created because hundreds of would-be illegal immigrants have died crossing the U.S./Mexico border because they got lost in the treacherous terrain. The virtual geography application will mark new trails and secure routes that will facilitate illegal aliens in reaching their U.S. destination unscathed, according to Mexico/U.S. Border Disturbance Art Project officials. The rebel group is headed by a visual arts professor (Ricardo Dominguez) at the University of California San Diego, a major public institution not far from the Mexican border. His university biography boasts that he earned scrutiny from the National Security Agency for creating a program that allows activists to slow any web site to a halt by flooding it with requests (known as a virtual sit-in). In the past Mexico’s government has provided its nationals with valuable tools to help them cross the border safely but this marks the first time an American resident, whose salary is provided by U.S. taxpayers, openly promotes such a gadget. A few years ago Mexican officials published a 32-page booklet (Guia Del Migrante Mexicano) with safety tips for border crossers and distributed hand-held satellite devices to ensure the violators complete their journey safely.

Resolved Question: Whatt kinds of reactions do people get after the H1N1 flu vaccination?

Since it is not covered by the regular flu shot, it is still pretty much a brand new big pharmaceutical industry field. Big pharma seems to be getting as lot of negative publicity lately eg. *************************************************************************** The Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex: A Deadly Fairy Tale By Dr. Doug Henderson and Dr. Gary Null URL of this article: www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=15758 Global Research, October 21, 2009 Progressive Radio Network - 2009-10-20 It has been a particularly bad month for the pharmaceutical industrial complex in its ongoing litigations in American courts. Among the main pharmaceutical headlines, Merck s Gardasil vaccine for HPV, now being widely administered to pre-teens, was found to be linked to amyltrophic lateral sclerosis, commonly known as Lou Gehrig s disease; following a $1.4 billion fine in promoting one of its blockbuster drugs Zyprexa off-label, deceptive correspondence was uncovered by Eli Lilly gaming the system again by promoting another one of its drugs, Cymbalta, off-label for fibromyalgia; AstraZeneca was fined $160 million for scamming the Medicaid system in Kentucky after being fined $215 million for ripping off Alabama; Glaxo lost a Pennsylvania trial for failing to warn doctors and pregnant women of the dangers of its antidepressant drug Paxil related to birth defects; and Pfizer scored a record-breaking fine of $2.3 billion for illegally marketing several drugs over the years: Bextra, Zyvox, Geodon and Lyrica. These kinds of charges, among the many others, have become a habit for drug makers for the past dozen years. When we speak of the pharmaceutical industry complex, it does not refer solely to private drug manufacturers. The complex, like a Matrix that holds captive the health of the nation in medical slavery by its own design and manipulation, is a consortium, a spiders web woven with financial attachments throughout the medical profession. In addition to the pharmaceutical and medical device firms, this complex includes every government health agency the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and or course the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) as well as drug lobbying firms now employing a large number of former Congresspersons, insurance and HMO companies, all of the leading professional medical associations such as the American Medical Association (AMA) and the American Psychiatric Association (APA), the majority of medical schools and their research departments who are heavily funded by drug money, many of the most prestigious medical journals, and ultimately all of this filtering downward to the physicians who diagnose our illnesses and prescribe our medications and treatments. America is rightly regarded as having led much of the world in many qualitative innovations in all fields. That reputation is duly deserved. However, there is a new dynamic at work that is causing this reputation to be challenged. We are a nation that prides itself in our humanity, our sense of fairness, but today there is a growing concern that we are now being monikered as a country held hostage to a national security complex, which includes the largest military complex in the world, an obscenely expensive healthcare system and self-serving bureaucracies and private industries that serve their own financial ends. So it is not surprising that after spending this year $2.6 trillion on healthcare, we have such little health to show for it. There are second world countries where people live longer and healthier lives. And we have the worst healthcare among developed nations. So what have we received for our $2.6 trillion. As the current healthcare debate continues to rage over in sundries the $200 billion net profit health insurance industry the entire deliberation over disease prevention and treatment has been overshadowed. And amidst this partisan and ideological anarchy, perpetuated by our elected officials, the media, and fueled by the pharmaceutical complex, two other areas America excels as a leader above all other developed nations is in being the premier breeding ground for the pharmaceutical industrial complex s greatest profits and, second, as the world s exemplar in medical fraud and corruption. The fairy tale of America s health as being best served by drugs is a creation of this complex, a lullaby that brings ill citizens repeatedly to their doctors and hospitals for diagnosis and treatment, or simply to deny healthcare altogether to the uninsured. The country is pacified by a blind belief that the drugs being prescribed to them have been proven safe because our government health agencies have our physical health and well-being in their best intentions. This is a lie, an extraordinarily deadly lie. Iatrogenesis, medically induced injury and death, is the number one cause of death in Am more

Resolved Question: The more I hear about 0bama's Net Neutrality, the better I like it. You?

FCC Votes to Begin Crafting `Net Neutrality' Rules Oct 22 12:42 PM US/Eastern By JOELLE TESSLER AP Technology Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Federal regulators took an important step Thursday toward prohibiting broadband providers from favoring or discriminating against certain kinds of Internet traffic. Despite the concerns of telecommunications companies and the agency's two Republicans, the Federal Communications Commission voted to begin writing so-called "network neutrality" regulations. Proponents say the rules would prevent phone and cable companies from abusing their control over the market for broadband access. FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski said regulations are needed to ensure that broadband subscribers can access all legal Web sites and services, including Internet calling applications and video sites that compete with the broadband companies' core businesses. "Internet users should always have the final say about their online service, whether it's the software, applications or services they choose, or the networks and hardware they use to the connect to the Internet," Genachowski said. The FCC's two other Democrats voted to support his plan. The agency's two Republican commissioners voted merely to start the formal rule-making process, but said they are opposed to the substance of Genachowski's proposal. Republican Commissioner Robert McDowell said he remains unconvinced that broadband providers are engaging in widespread anticompetitive behavior that requires government intervention. "I do not share the majority's view that the Internet is showing breaks and cracks, nor do I believe that the government is the best tool to fix it," he said. Next up for the FCC is to actually craft the rules, with a vote on whether to adopt them expected to come by next summer. That would culminate a five-year debate in Washington that has pitted Internet companies such as Google Inc. against some of the biggest phone and cable companies—including AT&T Inc., Verizon Communications Inc. and Comcast Corp. The broadband providers insist they need flexibility, free from government intervention, to keep their networks running smoothly. They want to ensure that high-bandwidth applications such as YouTube videos don't hog too much capacity and impede other traffic, like e-mail and online searches. They also say that net neutrality regulations would discourage them from expanding and upgrading their networks. "We continue to hope that any rules adopted by the commission will not harm the investment and innovation that has made the Internet what it is today and that will make it even greater tomorrow," Comcast Executive Vice President David L. Cohen said in a statement. But companies such as Google, Amazon.com Inc., eBay Inc.'s Skype and Facebook Inc. argue that without such rules, the broadband companies will become online gatekeepers that can prioritize their own online services or those of their business partners—and potentially put others at a disadvantage. Markham Erickson, executive director of the Open Internet Coalition, called Thursday's vote "the first step toward ... creating a framework that promotes innovation and consumer choice on the Internet." The Open Internet Coalition represents public interest groups and big Internet companies, including Google, Amazon and eBay. Genachowski's plan calls for the agency to formally adopt four broadband principles that have guided the FCC's enforcement of communications laws on a case-by-case basis. Those principles state that network operators must allow subscribers to access all online content, applications, services and devices as long as they are legal. The FCC relied on those guidelines last year when it ordered Comcast to stop blocking subscribers from using an online file-sharing service called BitTorrent, which is used to transfer big files such as online video. Comcast is challenging the FCC ruling in court. Genachowski also wants the FCC to adopt two additional principles that would bar broadband providers from discriminating against particular content or applications and require them to disclose network management practices. And he is seeking to apply all six rules across all types of broadband networks, including wireless systems, which have been largely unregulated. "The time is now to move forward with consideration of fair and reasonable rules of the road," Genachowski said Thursday. "It would be a serious failure of responsibility not to consider such rules, for that would be gambling with the most important technological innovation of our time."

Resolved Question: Do you want 0bama and everyone in his administration to have all access to your IRS information?

August 26, 2009 8:26 PM Declan McCullagh - Democratic Health Care Bill Divulges IRS Tax Data Posted by Declan McCullagh (AP) One of the problems with any proposed law that's over 1,000 pages long and constantly changing is that much deviltry can lie in the details. Take the Democrats' proposal to rewrite health care policy, better known as H.R. 3200 or by opponents as "Obamacare." Section 431(a) of the bill says that the IRS must divulge taxpayer identity information, including the filing status, the modified adjusted gross income, the number of dependents, and "other information as is prescribed by" regulation. That information will be provided to the new Health Choices Commissioner and state health programs and used to determine who qualifies for "affordability credits." Section 245(b)(2)(A) says the IRS must divulge tax return details -- there's no specified limit on what's available or unavailable -- to the Health Choices Commissioner. The purpose, again, is to verify "affordability credits." Section 1801(a) says that the Social Security Administration can obtain tax return data on anyone who may be eligible for a "low-income prescription drug subsidy" but has not applied for it. Over at the Institute for Policy Innovation (a free-market think tank and presumably no fan of Obamacare), Tom Giovanetti argues that: "How many thousands of federal employees will have access to your records? The privacy of your health records will be only as good as the most nosy, most dishonest and most malcontented federal employee.... So say good-bye to privacy from the federal government. It was fun while it lasted for 233 years." I'm not as certain as Giovanetti that this represents privacy's Armageddon. (Though I do wonder where the usual suspects like the Electronic Privacy Information Center are. Presumably inserting limits on information that can be disclosed -- and adding strict penalties on misuse of the information kept on file about hundreds of millions of Americans -- is at least as important as fretting about Facebook's privacy policy in Canada.) A better candidate for a future privacy crisis is the so-called stimulus bill enacted with limited debate early this year. It mandated the "utilization of an electronic health record for each person in the United States by 2014," but included only limited privacy protections. It's true that if the legislative branch chooses to create "affordability credits," it probably makes sense to ensure they're not abused. The goal of curbing fraud runs up against the goal of preserving individual privacy. If we're going to have such significant additional government intrusion into our health care system, we will have to draw the privacy line somewhere. Maybe the House Democrats' current bill gets it right. Maybe it doesn't. But this vignette should be reason to be skeptical of claims that a massive and complex bill must be enacted as rapidly as its backers would have you believe. Update August 27 11 a.m: Marc Rotenberg of the Electronic Privacy Information Center says in e-mail: "We would oppose section 431(a) of the bill because it violates the intent of the Privacy Act which generally requires agencies to obtain information directly from individuals and not from other agencies." EPIC still hasn't updated their Web site to reflect this sentiment, but it's good to know that other folks have concerns too. ______________________________________… Declan McCullagh is a correspondent for CBSNews.com.

Resolved Question: What do you think of my latest letter to Senator Reid of Nevada?

Senator Reid, We as a country cannot tolerate the massive deficit spending you are supporting. We are practically broke as a country and printing money and getting in more debt to China or whoever else is not a responsible action. We need to let the free market level off and businesses go thur bankruptcy instead of bailing them out. No, No, No, to government health care. It takes billions to implement and the free market must be allowed to give consumers options they want not mandated insurance. The federal government has a track record of not being efficient and losing money just look at social security then the Post Office and other agencies losing money. We need to start paying as we go and reverse the deficit or else America will be crippled significantly and in jeopardy of being worse off than the recession we are experiencing. Common sense says that when you are in great debt you do not incur more of it but seek to pay off that debt with more income. We should aggressively allow oil drilling and refining and get the tax revenue from that to increase federal revenue. We need to use our own oil and the gas combustion engine is not going away any time soon despite the newer technology around. Selling that oil to other countries will also bring more revenue. Most cars on the road are older and most people cannot afford hybrid cars so face reality please. Other concerns: the border fence was approved but it is not being built: we need to stop the incursion of illegals that drain our state and federal financial resources and fill 30% of our prisons. NO to Sonja Mayor as a Supreme Court judge; she was a member of an all woman's group which is not appropriate for a judge and she thinks in racial terms as when saying a Latina is better than a white man and she was reversed by the Supreme court when she decided it was OK to discriminate against white and Latino fire fighters who scored better than black fire fighters. You are on the wrong side of history if you continue to ignore fact that Congress has not qualified President Obama as a natural born citizen. No web picture of any Certificate of Live Birth is acceptable as legal proof for citizenship and a formal congressional inquiry is in order. What will you do if the President is shown not to be a natural born citizen or even any kind of a citizen. You will be on record not caring to fulfill you constitutional duty in this national security matter. When you do something wrong and keep digging a deeper hole you will find it is harder to get out. Kenyan official are on record saying Obama was born there as well as his grandmother and a brother and a sister. The just surfaced Mombasa Kenya document looks serious since it has a signature of a government deputy and a government seal. The truth cannot be kept from the American people and we are rising up to voice our discontent with the power grabbing and deficit spending going on at town hall meetings and in the streets. If you and the majority of Congress continue to ignore the grass roots efforts of the people than you will be causing us get even more political and you have not seen the current uprising before so get ready for more extreme protests because we will not be ignored and that is a fact. Democrats, Republicans and Independents are showing up at the Tea Parties I attend and they are not organized by Fox News as some media report. We are mostly working people and not paid protesters. We are you constituents that you continue to ignore. I don't see how you will be reelected with all the policies you are jamming down our throats. Ernesto Serano in Reno, NVPeople if you watch your average cable or TV network new you will see the President giving speeches often with people who are applauding him because they are hand picked to do so. The truth is that there is an upring around the country against this adminsitration and Congress. Remember the Wizard of Oz who projected greatness but behind the scenes was not who he seemed. more

Resolved Question: How necessary is it to sign a Buyer/Broker agreement just to have a realtor get info on a listing?

Several days ago I saw a house for sale that looked like one I would be interested in purchasing. I went to the agency's web site that had the listing and got the MLS#. I sent an email to that agency but did not receive a reply, so I contacted a real estate agent with whom I had spoken with several months ago when I was considering selling my current home. Instead of getting me the information I requested, she said she couldn't do anything for me unless I signed a Buyer/Broker Agreement and also implied that unless I was ready to place my current home on the market, there was little else she could do for me. I need some clarification as to how real estate agents work. It it necessary to sign that agreement to just have a realtor obtain information, or is this just high-pressure tactics? more

Resolved Question: What ya think, www.lose-that-fat.info, I hear alot of good things, anyone lose weight with it ?

Nothing burns fat. Nothing makes you lose weight while you sleep. These are known false claims. Agencies have taken action against them, but only on a case-by-case basis. An estimated one-third of U.S. adults are considered obese, creating a significant market of people looking for something to help them shed the pounds. The best approaches are changing our diet and exercise. Even the few FDA-approved weight loss medications need to be combined with eating less and exercising more. Consumers should avoid products that make fantastic weight loss claims. Some supplements can help users feel fuller or raise their metabolism when used with diet and exercise. The National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine posts fact sheets on its Web site about some widely used supplements. For example, the fact sheet for hoodia, a cactus-like plant widely marketed for weight loss, notes: “There is no reliable scientific evidence to support hoodia’s use. No studies of the herb in people have been published.” There are a few good weight loss systems out there that really do work, one is: www.lose-that-fat.info They have a good proven system with alot of history to back it up. So get off the diet fads and check out www.lose-that-fat.info for a real proven system that works. more

Resolved Question: Fire safety cigarettes are poison?

I've been smoking 30 years. I live in Arizona where we just started getting Fire Safety Cigarettes. For three weeks I was constantly getting ill, and having never heard of fire safe cigs, had no idea why. I immediately noticed my cigs (Marlboro reds) kept going out, not in a few minutes, more like every 30 seconds, Very annoying. My dad a 50 year smoker called me one day to say his cigarettes, (Marlboro Light 100's), kept going out, and tasted awful. So I e-mailed Phillip Morris asking "What's going on"?. I googled, 'Marlboros keep burning themselves out'. I was appalled at what I saw. Web sites, blogs, and forums abounded with smokers complaining about getting sick from smoking these FSC cigarettes. I couldn't believe our government would force a product on its citizens that were making smokers across the country sick. Didn't anyone bother too do some research on the health impact of these new 'safer' (not) cigarettes? I immediately went to my vendor, and after searching there inventory found and bought five cartons of regular not FSC cigarettes, (labeled above the bar code). Within two days of smoking regular Marlboro's my illnesses subsided, and after a week I felt like my old self again. Now I will have to start buying them online from companies in North Carolina, a state that still offers regular cigarettes that don't make me sick. After that I will buy them from Russia if I have too, or search out a black market, as I'm sure they will be popping up real soon. Fire prevention agencies claim it will save 700 to 1,000 lives per year. New York Department of State did a study in New York State, a state which has mandated FSC for four years now, and found that deaths did drop from 31 deaths to 22 deaths in 2004. Harvard School of medicine said that five compounds in the FSC cigarettes had increased in toxicity, but there was no evidence that these increases affect the already toxic nature of cigarette smoke. OH REALLY, then why am I finding smokers all over the internet complaining they're getting sick? , I know they made me sick. Those entities that are pushing this garbage on us didn't even have the courtesy to tell us smokers what they were doing. These 'speed bump rings' that are incorporated into the paper, has increased amounts of a glue produced by DuPont used to adhere carpet, and is very toxic, (Adhesive ethylene vinyl acetate). First our government unjustly targets smokers with a huge tax burden of 500% the past ten to fifteen years, now there going to poison us. Did I mention the taste? These RSC taste terrible, another factor I’m reading from smokers across the country online. The amber or (cherry) at the end of the cigarette doesn't burn the same and allows too much air to mix with the smoke, and you can't get enough taste. So you end up drawing on them repeatedly trying to get a good full drag. You end up with uneven burning and ambers falling all over the place. Seems to me this is going to cause 'More Fire Hazard'. Also the constant relighting causes the paper to ignite into a real flame, and has even blown up in my face, and I only smoked a few packs of them. New York States 2004 study claims nine lives were saved. Nation wide that would be 450 lives per year, less than the number of people a 'month' who die from tripping and falling down. But it's okay to make thousands of smokers’ nationwide sick. How many smokers a year will die now from the higher toxicity in the paper, only time will tell… If we allow these non smoking advocates to 'dictate' what we consume, were will it end? There's still as many non smokers dying each year of lung cancer and heart disease as smokers, considering the high levels of pollution in our cities nationwide. Maybe next they'll blame smokers for that too. James Whitehorne Phoenix Az. May 29, 2009 jmjmyj7@hotmail.com more

Resolved Question: I want to start a new political party, how do i do it ?

I would like to do this in the U.K and would like to know every thing that i need to know to start this up. I want to form a new national political party, but I would like some additional information before I dive into the process. A few items that could help me out: 1. What "red tape" must I go through to form this party? More specifically, will I need to register with any federal or state agency(s)? Keep in mind that I will be soliciting (via email, direct mail, and telephone) donations for the party. It might be a relavant fact in answering this question that the party's headquarters will initially be located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It will, however, be a national party. Along the same lines of this question, do I need to register as a not-for-profit organization? How? Basically, this question is an attempt to find out what (if any) forms and registrations I need to complete to form a national political party. Please spend the most amount of time on this question because if we as a party do something wrong here we could be breaking the law! I'd hate for the party to fall apart or be sued because we forgot to fill out some random form. 2. On the issue of donations, what are my options for people submitting donations online? What are the best payment service providers on the Internet. I know of PayPal, but are there others that might be better for this particular purpose of political contributions? 3. On that same note, I am preparing an initial e-mail that will be introducing the party and seeking contributions to get the party going. How can I get this email to a large (1mil or more), nationwide group of people? Of course, I'll be sending the email to everyone in my address book, and hopeful that they'll do the same, so on and so on, creating a snowball effect. But, is there also a way to get (or buy) lists of random email addresses that it would be legal to send out an email such as this to? I've looked on the internet, and it appears that one can buy such a thing of lists where people have opted in ... so, what service should I go through to buy this list of email addresses. Which service is the best? Things to consider: I want the email read, not sent directly to people's junk mail box. I want the email sent to as many people as possible up front and then just hope our ideas create a snowball affect. 4. Who should I get to build the party's website, which I hope will be state-of-the art? More specifically, what firms are rated highest in web development? 5. What are some of the top-notch marketing firms that could help in "branding" the party? Here, we're lookign for top-rated firms that specialize in political campaigns. Answers to the questions above would certainly be helpful. However, please feel free to throw any any other information/advice/tips that might be helpful in forming a political party. By no means limit yourself to the specific questions above, because Any and all information on the issue of "forming a political party" would be a great help. I would like to do this in the U.K and would like to know every thing that i need to know to start this up. Can any one help me ????? more

For better or worse, the forces of globalization have pushed them to urban areas to seek a better life.

Reproduced with permission of copyright owner. Further reproduction or distribution is prohibited without permission. [Countries are attempting to protect their own companies and workers from the economic crisis. The financial and political damage will be severe, argues Jeffrey E. Garten] Not long ago, on a visit to Bangalore, India, I made what I thought would be a 15-minute trip to the outskirts of the city. The journey took 90 minutes on roads filled with cars, trucks, bicycles, push carts, children, all kinds of animals and giant potholes. At one point my taxi was at a dead stop for what seemed like an eternity, waiting for a small group of cows to move to the side of the road. It was dusty and noisy, filled with the sounds of buzzing scooters and honking horns. We eventually came to our destination: the campus of Infosys, an Indian technology company with major operations around the world. Here was a city within a city, with ultra-modern buildings, movie theaters, restaurants with international cuisine, workout facilities, classrooms for executive education, accommodations for workers who had to stay late and communications capabilities that I had never seen in American companies. Two worlds. One globalized, the other not. One that had access to the world's capital, technology and management, the other stuck in another century. Many of Infosys's management and employees came from that poorer world. I wondered what it would take to pull up the millions of others. In the next 24 hours, approximately 180,000 people in developing countries will be moving from the countryside to cities such as Shanghai, Sao Paulo, Johannesburg. The same will happen tomorrow and every day thereafter for the next 30 years, the equivalent of creating one new New York City every two months, according to the United Nations. These men and women will need everything -- electricity, water, food, heath care, shelter, schools, computers and, of course, jobs. Many have the potential to improve not just their local environments but the world. For better or worse, the forces of globalization have pushed them to urban areas to seek a better life. And it will be globalization that opens the world to them, allowing international agencies to pump in capital, multinational companies to help supply technology and management, and Western universities to transfer knowledge. Yet if historians look back on today's severe downturn, with its crumbling markets, rising unemployment and massive government interventions, they could well be busy analyzing how globalization -- the spread of trade, finance, technology and the movement of people around the world -- went into reverse. They would likely point to the growth of economic nationalism as the root cause. Ordinary protectionism such as tariffs and quotas would be one aspect of this problem, but it won't be the worst of it because a web of treaties and the enforcement capabilities of the World Trade Organization will constrain the most egregious behavior. Economic nationalism is more insidious because it is broader, more subtle and subject to fewer legal constraints. It is a frame of mind that casts doubt on the very assumption that we live in a single international market, and that relatively open borders are a virtue. It is based on a calculation that despite all the talk about economic interdependence, nations can go it alone, and could be better off in doing so. True economic nationalists want above all to protect capital and jobs in their own countries. They see global commerce not as a win-win proposition but as a contest in which there is a victor and a loser. They are thus not focused on international agreements to open the world economy; to the contrary, they are usually figuring out how to avoid international commercial obligations. The last time we saw sustained economic nationalism was in the 1930s, when capital flows and trade among countries collapsed, and every country went its own way. World growth went into a ditch, political ties among nations deteriorated, nationalism and populi more

I know basic HTML tags, but very limited. Thanks! more

I have a new website that I want to purchase advertising for, but I want to make sure that I'm getting a good bang for my buck. I already signed up for a web directory that offered a free trial, so I'm open to directories too, as well as any other type of paid advertising, just as long as they offer a trial so I can try it before I buy it.My mistake.

Resolved Question: In terms of the net ammount i am paid after taxes, would I receive more if i was making $32k than....?

since the tax bracket jump from 10% to 25%, (federal) @ $35,000 wouldnt I be receiving more money if i was making $32k - $34k than i would if i was making anywhere from $35k-$37k? I ask because i am about to receive a salary offer for working at a small web marketing agency. If i were to actaully clear more on my paycheck, (after taxes) at 32, i would much rather be paid 32 than 37, if it will save the company money... I dont know if i will have to deal with this decision, the entry level position averages 30-45k, but id like to be prepared just in case my salary is in that 32-37 range where taxes could make a difference15% on the income between $8,350 and $33,950; plus $835 25% on the income between $33,950 and $82,250; plus $4,675 - just found 2009 tax bracket info... so i guess the question is: Would i receive more if my salary was 32k than i would if my salary was 35k? if that was the case, should i ask my employer to only pay me 32, so they can save 3k a year? the company is a small web marketing agency, so those dollars could make a difference. more

Resolved Question: Please help me get out of this MAD HOUSE !!!!?

Hello ALL, I work for a NYC agency and its going on (2) years and I'm still a temp. When I first applied for this job, I applied through the website and was offered the job after it was turned down by another applicant because the money wasn't enough. SO okay, I was very happy at that time for the opportunity. At this time, there were (3) of us in the unit. Usually with the city, the paperwork takes a few months, so they brought me on as a temp and told me my paper work was going through the approval process at OMB. Okay, fine. A few months pass, I hear that its stuck in the hiring freeze so I'll have to wait. Okay, fine. Fast forward to June 08, they repost my position again, so now the first position, god knows what happen to it. So I apply to the repost and now they're telling me that my paper work is stuck at OMB again for whatever reason, hiring freeze. I'm like how come my paperwork always get stuck at that particular time. Anyway, I've been on a few interviews since last year but nothing never became of it, either because I wasn't really intrigued about the position or maybe it was that most of my applications were sent because of frustration and I just didn't know if I was going or coming in this place. Alright, so its now February 09, in a few months I'll be hear 2 years. Now the lady that was here for 20+ years left this bureau and went to another agency because she just about had it with these people. From the scandals in management to the lunatics that we have to work with in other bureaus, this is just a nut house. This nut house however, has made me into a serial entrepreneur, and has allowed me to channel my frustration to create websites and I now have my my own internet marketing and web design company. I alreaedy have my comp registered but its under my mom's name. But I have the site up and I'm ready to heavy marketing. So here I am in the present and just about ready to get out of here so I can focus my energy on my business, my 2 girls and increase my skills for my entrepreneurial dreams by going back to school and taking some business courses. I would really like to just leave this place and get unemployment benefits becaues I know they will keep stringing me along and using the hiring freeze as an excuse. I have no health benefits, no nothing. I had to skip 1 week for the last month just to get my 1 year old daughter medicaid. If i dont come in or my kids get sick I dont get paid. Its ridiculous, I could do so much with my sites and my new business ideas. I have my bf that's working and soon we'll be getting a good refund that should help sustain. When I'm here its all chaos and frustration seeing management get over with their affairs and scandals. I've had it. I need some way to get out with a good cause for unemployment. They already know that I'm frustrated but they think because of the economy I have no where to go. They don't know about my business that I have and the web design skills that I've been advancing. They think I'm just a simple young procurement agent who has (2) girls and needs to hold on to this because I need them more than they need more. Even so, that's the least I'm thinking, I would just like to go and start working on myself, my future and making sure I'm there for my girls and not have to scramble with them everyday to come to a place that is only frustrating me and stressing me out. Please someone give me some guidance. more
