2007 Global Conference: Addressing America's Health-Care Coverage Challenges
2007 Global Conference: Addressing America's Health-Care Coverage Challenges When Safeway's Steve Burd joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Thomas Donohue, PhRMA's Billy Tauzin and Matria Healthcare's Earl Rousseau at the 2007 Milken Institute Global Conference, they at least agreed on one thing: the lack of affordable health care in the United States is big problem. What followed was a spirited debate about what business can do to lower employee health-care costs, including helping workers improve their nutrition and exercise regimens. What do these leaders in the business community know that you should know?

Open Question: Is the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce the same agency that has been referred to as American Chamber of Commerce?
Or are there two entities operating in Sri Lanka. With one being the American Chamber of Commerce in Sri Lanka and the other being the Ceylon Chamber of Commerce. I have only heard of one called the American Chamber of Commerce that seems to be officiated to some large extent by Ambassador Blake. The Chamber of Commerce spoken of here seems to have a newly created, wholly privately owned subsidiary with the exact same acronym -CCC. Why is the first announcement of this change on the 9th of January when this "new establishment" was formed on the 1st of January? http://www.dailymirror.lk/DM_BLOG/Sections/frmNewsDetailView.aspx?ARTID=37320 (more...)

Open Question: What would you do if you were a college kid? Buy or rent?
My fiance and I will be moving after our wedding (March 14,2009) and I don't know what to do. We've looked through the rental guide at the chamber of commerce and went through the ones in our price range (up to $300 or $350 with some utilities), and saw some nice places. But then I started thinking, why not get a house and fix it up while we live there and sell it (we'll move after college). I've only had one semester of college, so I have 3 and a half years to live in the place we choose. I wouldn't have even thought of trying to get a house if it wasn't for how the economy is right now. Does anyone have an opinion for me? Do you need anymore information before you give me an opinion? I'm a waitress so I make about $13 an hour, 20 hours a week, and my fiance is trying to get a factory job for between $10-$15 an hour, forty hours a week and insurance. He's just going to take a class or two a semester, so I know we'll be strapped for cash. I guess we should just rent an apartment? But has anyone ever gotten a house paid off in 3 years??? There are two adorable houses in the area for sale at $29,900, but that's like, 900 a month to pay off, right? I'm confused, I don't know anything about realty. Expert Realtor- Wow, that was a little judgmental and rude. 1. We're getting married in March, like I said, and we're moving in afterwards, like I said. 2. Yes I do make and claim an average of $13 an hour as a waitress, and I never said my fiance isn't working now. He is, but we're moving (like I said once again) so he has to get a new job. 3. I agree that it may not be a good idea to buy a house, I just wanted advice. 4. That's why I'm asking- I don't know anything about realty, and you didn't help much at all. I am getting married while in school, sorry to burst your bubble, it's in 2 months, but I will take into consideration your advice not to buy a house. Thanks. Again, my fiance has a wonderful job making minimum $450 a week, just not in the city we're needing to move to, we have a lot of money saved up, and I have paid my car off, so I guess I have some credit, although I have no idea.

Open Question: Colleges I have a chance of getting into?
So, now that all of my applications are in, I was wondering what people think my chances are at the schools I applied to. The schools I applied to are: 1.Amherst College 2.SUNY Binghamton 3.Boston University 4.Bucknell 5.Carnegie Mellon 6.Cornell 7.Duke 8.SUNY Geneseo 9.Johns Hopkins 10.Northeastern 11.RPI 12.SUNY Stony Brook 13.Tufts 14.WPI 15.Yale Yes I know, long list... Amherst and Yale were basically to please my insane dad who thinks I can get in anywhere, they're, as far as I'm concerned, huge huge reaches. My Stats: 92 GPA unweighted Rank in Class: 25 SAT scores: 2130 (750 critical reading, 690 on both math and writing) ACT: 33 composite (33 math and english, 35 reading, 30 science) Accelerated Classes: Honors- English 9H, English 10H, English 11H, Biology 9H, Chemistry 10H, Global History 9H AP- European History, U.S. History, Calculus BC, English Literature IB- Mathematics SL, Physics SL, Psychology SL, History of the Americas HL, Biology HL Extracurriculars: Soccer 9th and 10th grade, Newspaper Club Editor, part of the school peer mediator program (basically, the students in my grade picked a few people who they felt would best help solve conflicts, and I was one of them... we do annual clinics and occasionally have like counseling type things), uhh... thats about it in terms of clubs/sports Community Service: mostly through my church and some through my town's chamber of commerce, about 80 hours in total Work Experience: I've worked since freshman year, averaging 20-30 hrs a week depending on if it was summer of during school. I worked in a restaurant until summer of 2008, when it closed, then worked on a farm until it closed for the winter, usually 15-20 hrs a week. Recommendations: Of course I'm not really sure how they turned out, but from what I can surmise they were really good recommendations, from my math teacher (I had IB math with him last yr and now Calc) and an english teacher i had in 9th and 11th grade. My counselor doesnt seem to know anybody, but I take the most rigorous courses I can short of the IB diploma and she seems to like me, so I think I got a good recommendation from her as well. Application Essay: I put so many hours into this damn thing, and I think its pretty amazing, to be honest. So yeah, there's me in a nutshell. What are my chances at these schools? I've been applying primarily to engineering schools at each university. As of now, my #1 is Tufts. Thanks so much in advance!! (more...)

Resolved Question: Are you following the attack on media outlet in Sri Lanka? Per review I would like to know is the following:?
The Colombo Post (now defunct) was edited by Sri Lanka?s Consul ? General in Toronto. I have read several very different perspectives on the closure of the paper but what seems to stand out is that the paper was releasing information from unnamed sources that deemed to be from the diplomatic station that were not following proper lines of communication to the Government. The Consul-General is supposed to be releasing/sharing information with the government via secure transmission lines or diplomatic pouch not through the newspaper. This is especially true due to a war with a non-conventional enemy the LTTE. And priority of information should first be with the government and only after government clearance should be disseminated through the media. This is not significant of a fascist government but of a non-linear/multi-national terrorist threat. The exact location of these "leaks" is still unknown but it has been surmised to be of detriment. http://www.lankabusinessonline.com/fullstory.php?nid=1258452693 This item from US Ambassador Robert Blake?s office looks a bit more professional on the surface. Mr. Blake?s item appears from a business publication and Mr. Blake chairs the Chamber of Commerce in Sri Lanka ? known as the ?American Chamber of Commerce?. Usually diplomats work through a Bureau of Investment not a ?Chamber of Commerce? because of the level and complexity of diplomatic dealings. In this manner, it is unusual. In Mr. Blake?s piece it is stated that Sri Lanka is considered ?One of the most dangerous places for journalists in the world after Iraq? What both Sri Lanka and Iraq are learning is that threats posed against the established government include hit-and-run incidents that share a very high degree of mutual occurrence. These events include synchronized, international attacks from different terror elements in a same or sequential time frame. A recent event that comes to mind were the spate of multiple child abductions ? these occurred in a period of few days in Sri Lanka, Afghanistan, Iraq and one other country that is not currently coming to mind. Prior to that there was a spate of attacks on diplomatic drivers, prior to that there was a series of assassination attempts on Presidents and Prime Ministers. This is indicative of terror networks that I first noticed the existence of in 2006. I have not only reported these events to my government, but also to yours, to Europol and the British Home Office. Whenever I see another sequence-I report it. It has become standard procedure in places such as the Middle East, Israel, Iraq and Sri Lanka to recuse press coverage and NGO/INGO interaction with terrorist elements or within high security threat areas because press/NGO security cannot be guaranteed in a non-linear, multi-national, synchronized threat environments. The press wants autonomy of movement without consultation of military or government but at the same time wants the government to instantaneously act/react when an incident is perpetrated against that body. There is an ongoing investigation Mr. Blake to ascertain what and who caused the attacks at Sirasa studios. My question is as follows: are Shakthi and Sirasa both housed at the same location or at different locations and is there more than one studio? http://transcurrents.com/tc/2009/01/post_251.html This piece also does not have a by-line. It is also in no way representative of unbiased journalism or even professional journalism as it has spelling and contextual errors as well as lack of journalistic style that would leave it to be categorized as a propaganda piece. Being propaganda, displayed as journalism, the first question that comes to mind is who does it benefit and where did it originate? ?Most of the terror squad were wearing trousers, tee- shirts and boots. They were young and physically fit and were close ? cropped and clean ? shaven. I THOUGHT THEY WERE MASKED GUNMEN According to a statement made to the Police by employees the attackers were very atheletic and conducted themselves like the ?hamudawe? (military).? It is well known that not only does the government have military so does the militant terrorist organization LTTE. And though the LTTE recruits may be thin, malnourished and non-professional, the command and supervisory forces are well built, well fed, clean cut and well organized. They are known to drive about in ?white vans? which they have received from several sources including NGOs. http://uk.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUKTRE5052Q620090106?sp=true This piece does have a by-line; the information from the very first sentence differs from the previous piece that in great detail describes physical features. ?Masked gunmen threw grenades and destroyed the main studio of Sri Lanka's largest private broadcaster Tuesday, days after state media criticised it for coverage of a Tamil Tiger suicide blast.? http://transcurrents.com/tc/2009/01/post_250.html This piece mostly includes a press release ? in This is what I mean about non-conventional, symetrical attacks http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090107/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/lt_mexico_tv_attack;_ylt=Ak5_kL0bNvRAeDwfgFy.8jm3IxIF CHECK DRAFTS (more...)

Open Question: who has received this email?
i got this email and didn't believe it for a second. FROM MR ERIC KABORE. HEAD OF FILE DEPARTMENT MANAGER. GROUP BANK OF AFRICA (BOA) BURKINA-FASO WEST AFRICA. DIRECT NUMBER TEL/ 00226 76 61 65 94 (REMITTANCE OF $12.5 MILLION U.S.A DOLLARS) (CONFIDENTIAL IS THE CASE") Compliments of the Season Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and may offend your personality for contacting you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. I got your contact from the professional data base found in the chambers of commerce. When I was searching for a foreign reliable partner. I assured of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity. After serious of prayers/fasting. I was divinely directed to contact you among other names found in the data base chambers of commerce search. I believe that God has a way of helping who is in need. I am (MR ERIC KABORE.) the Head of file Department in Bank of Africa (B.O.A). In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $12.5 million U.S.A dollars (Twelve million Five hundred thousand U.S.A dollars). In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who died along with his entire family MR.CHRISTAIN EICH. who died together with his Entire Family in a plane crash on the July. 2000. Since I got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because bank cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidelines, but unfortunately I learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died along side with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and I donât want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after years, the money will be transferred into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner, and a Burkina be cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. I agree that 40% of this money will be for you as foreign partner and 60% would be for me. There after I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer. Yours faithfully, MR ERIC KABORE. i now its a spam (more...)
