Obama:stop outsourcing from chindia

President Barack Obama has said that he does not want US companies to look for skilled and educated workers from India and China in fields of engineering , technology and science. 

Organizations today are looking for astute people and they hire from india and china and i don't want this thing. I want to give resources to train people of USA.

The President said he wants the Congress to give the schools the resources to keep good teachers on the job and reward the best. "In return , they also need to give schools the flexibility to stop just teaching to the test and replace teachers who aren't helping kids learn. That's something that we can do," he said, adding that the Congress needs to stop the interest rates on student loans from doubling this July.

Obama said ,they need to take the tuition tax credit that my administration put in the budget over these last few years-a tax credit that saves families thousands of dollars on tuition-and we need to make that permanent.

FBI was told Steve Jobs would distort reality to achieve goals

There was a time when not much was known about the iconic co-founder of Apple. But after his death, more and more details about Steve Jobs, the person and CEO, have emerged. First there was his official biography, showing him an excellent entrepreneur and visionary but at the same time having a penchant for bullying and being a tough boss. Now FBI has released an extensive report on Jobs, full of rich details about his life as an individual and as an entrepreneur.

Most people contacted by FBI gave thumbs up to Jobs, telling sleuths that he had all the necessary abilities for a high-profile position with the government. For example one person - FBI had redacted all names from the released report - who had known Jobs for several years said Jobs was "an individual of good character and integrity and (he) knew nothing which would reflect upon him in a negative way". Most also said that he was very hard working and prudent with his finances. 

However, at the same time, FBI also found, "Several individuals questioned Mr Jobs' honesty, stating that Mr Jobs will twist the truth and distort reality in order to achieve his goals." One respondent told FBI that Jobs was suitable for high-level political post because honesty and integrity were not required for such positions.

13000 websites are blocked by Pakistan, for vulgarity

Pakistani authorities have blocked 13,000 "obscene" websites and are taking more steps to prevent the spread of such materials through the Internet.A ministerial committee and a sub-committee had been formed to look into the matter. Khan expressed concern at what he described as the "rapid spread of obscene websites" and said the government currently has no mechanism to block all these websites. 

After a string of cases were filed in courts across Pakistan against blasphemous and pornographic contents on the internet, authorities last year began blocking websites. Earlier, authorities had blocked popular portals like Facebook and YouTube but the move was criticised by civil society groups. Following protests, authorities began selectively blocking only pages that contained blasphemous and pornographic materials.

Know Your Value.......!

                                             

A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a Rupee 500 note.
In the room of 200, he asked,"Who would like this Rupee 500 note?" Hands started going up. He said, " I am going to give this note to one of you but first let me do this. "he proceeded to crumple the note up. He then asked."Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied,"What if I do this?" And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind t into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now all crumpled and dirty. "Now who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, youhave all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it becaues it did not decrease in value. It was still worth Rupee 500/-. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstanes that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.

You are special. Don't ever forget it! Never let yesterday's disappointments overshadow tomorrow's dreams.

According to the government, the 16 websites provided links to give viewers easy access to other sites that hosted pirated telecasts from the National Football League, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League, World Wrestling Entertainment Inc ("WWE") and TNA Impact Wrestling. The latter is also broadcast on Viacom Inc's Spike TV. 


16 websites that illegally streamed live sports and pay-per-view events over the internet, and charged a Michigan man with running nine of those websites. "These websites and their operators deprive sports leagues and networks of legitimate revenue" in what amounts to "virtual thievery," said US Attorney , who announced the website seizures.


The websites are firstrow.tv, firstrowsports.com, firstrowsports.net, firstrowsports.tv, hq-streams.tv, robplay.tv, soccertvlive.net, sports95.com, sports95.net, sports95.org, sportswwe.net, sportswwe.tv, sportswwe.com, xonesports.tv, youwwe.com and youwwe.net.

Facebook becoming publicly

Facebook will begin the process of becoming a publicly-listed company this week, valuing the social networking site at between $75bn (£48bn) and $100bn, reports suggest.

 NEW YORK (AFP) - Facebook may file papers for an initial public offering next week that would value the social network at up to $100 billion, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.


The newspaper, citing people familiar with the matter, said Facebook could file IPO papers with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) as early as Wednesday but the "timing is still being discussed."

With a deal size of $10 billion, Facebook would slip into sixth place on the list of largest US IPOs between AT&T Wireless Group ($10.62 billion) and Kraft Foods ($8.68 billion), according to Renaissance Capital.

It would be the largest IPO ever by a US Internet company, eclipsing that of Google in 2004 which raised $1.9 billion and valued the Web search giant at $23 billion.

Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg has deflected IPO talk for years, saying he is focused on building the company and not on going public.

But Zuckerberg, who co-founded Facebook in his Harvard University dorm room nine years ago and has seen it grow to more than 800 million members, recently seemed to bow to the inevitability of selling stock to the public.

The Spanish figures show more than half of all 16-24 year-olds in the country are jobless - 51.4% compared with 45.8% before.


Spain's new ruling Popular Party conservative government has pledged labour reforms to try to imporve the jobs market.



Spain has struggled since the property bubble burst in 2008.


In the years between 2004 and 2008, the average house price in Spain rose 44%, Construction represented about 16% of GDP by the end of the boom, and the unemployment rate was down to 7.95%
