webmasterb@nationalvoicesite.com A Disengaged Generation: Young Workers Disengaged by Pressures of Work Worldwide NEW YORK, May 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Young workers around the world are lacking in engagement with their employers and are the most affected by perceived pressures at work, posing long-term retention and management problems for companies and countries, a new GfK study has found. The study, conducted among more than 30,000 employees in 29 countries by GfK Custom Research, a global market research agency, finds a labor market polarized between disillusioned 18 to 29 year-olds and their older, possibly more resigned, counterparts. Based on a 5000-interview survey conducted in the United States by GfK Custom Research North America, young employees are undergoing the same experience. Although younger employees are more likely to be free from the biggest responsibilities at work, a larger percentage of them are "frequently" or "nearly always" concerned about their work-life balance, pressure to work long hours, and personal health. Microsoft Previews Next Release of Windows Phone "Mango" to deliver smarter and easier communications, apps and Internet experiences and bring Windows Phone to more customers around the world. REDMOND, Wash., May 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. today previewed the next major release of Windows Phone, code-named "Mango," through a series of media events around the world. "Mango" will deliver more than 500 new features to push the boundaries of the smartphone experience around communications, apps and the Internet. The "Mango" release will be available for free to Windows Phone 7 customers and is scheduled to ship on new phones beginning this fall. More details on device update timing will be provided closer to availability. Windows Phone will also add support for additional languages, expand access to apps by launching Windows Phone Marketplace in new countries, and partner with new OEMs to enable expansion to new markets.* "Seven months ago we started our mission to make smartphones smarter and easier for people to do more," said Andy Lees, president of the Mobile Communications Business at Microsoft. "With 'Mango,' Windows Phone takes a major step forward in redefining how people communicate and use apps and the Internet, giving you better results with less effort." Communications: Easier to Connect and Share The smartphone experience can be complicated by a sea of disconnected apps and accounts as people attempt to keep pace with all the ways they communicate — from calls, texts, email and instant messages (IM) to status updates, Tweets, check-ins, photo posting and tagging. To help people stay on top of that growing complexity, the "Mango" release organizes information around the person or group people want to interact with, not the app they have to use. A Smarter Approach to Apps Windows Phone will challenge the way people think about apps. Today their usefulness is measured by what can be done within the app, but Microsoft sees the promise of apps in how they can be integrated directly into the core experiences of the phone. In addition to making it easy to get timely notifications and updates from apps right from the Start Screen, the "Mango" release also will surface apps as part of search results and within Windows Phone Hubs. As a result, a useful app is more likely to be right there when needed. Taking the Internet Beyond the Browser In addition to including Internet Explorer, the "Mango release will connect the power of the Web to the unique capabilities of Windows Phones, such as location awareness, camera and access to apps, to present a way of viewing the Web that is more localized, actionable and relevant. Strengthening the Ecosystem The Windows Phone ecosystem has grown steadily since Windows Phone 7 first launched in October, with more than 17,000 apps currently available on Windows Phone Marketplace and Windows Phone handsets available from a range of partners worldwide, and Microsoft's recently announced partnership with Nokia. "Mango" will further expand and strengthen the Windows Phone ecosystem through new partnerships with Acer Inc., Fujitsu Ltd. and ZTE Corp., which today announced plans to deliver new Windows Phone devices in markets around the world. Furthermore, Microsoft announced it will support additional languages, including Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish, and will greatly expand the list of countries where consumers have access to apps via Windows Phone Marketplace. As well, a beta release of the free Windows Phone Developer tools, which will be used to create the next generation of "Mango" apps and games, will be posted for public download to Microsoft's website within 24 hours of today's events. More information about what "Mango" means for developers, the tools and a link to the public download page is available at http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_phone/b/wpdev/archive/2011/05/24/developer-news-beta-mango-tools-available-today.aspx .

Baidu.com’s Lead Investor Contributes $11.5 Million to CalUniversity LOS ANGELES, Calif., March 25 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — California InterContinental University (CalUniversity), a leading distance-learning educational institution, has received a $11.5 million investment from Dr. Finian Tan, the lead investor in China’s number one search engine Baidu.com. This contribution makes Tan the university’s primary shareholder, and will be used to develop CalUniversity’s presence internationally as well as to provide affordable education worldwide. CalUniversity’s business, healthcare and information technology programs will now be available to students in China, India and the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) countries, and will provide attendees with the ability to earn a degree for an affordable tuition. Dr. Finian Tan’s investment came as the result of the promising future he sees in CalUniversity and a strong belief in the career advancement it can bring to countries like China. “Just as I saw a great future for Baidu.com, I see the same potential for success at CalUniversity,” said Baidu.com Investor Dr. Finian Tan. “There are a lot of opportunities in Asia and abroad, with education topping the list. With this investment I hope to make degree attainment a possibility for people of all ages and classes.” “We’re excited to have Dr. Finian Tan on board to help CalUniversity reach its goals of providing affordable education in countries all over the world,” said CEO and Chairman of CalUniversity Dr. Shaan Kumar. “In China it is estimated that only one in four high school graduates has the opportunity to pursue a university level education, mainly due to high costs, and with Dr. Tan’s help we’re on our way to changing that.” This investment will allow CalUniversity to offer programs for Bachelor’s, Master’s and Doctoral degrees through an interactive learning curriculum, flexible degree completion and affordable tuition and fees.

About CalUniversity: Black-Owned Businesses Increased at Triple the National Rate in the US Census Bureau Reports the Number of Black-Owned Businesses Increased at Triple the National Rate February 8, 2011 (MMD Newswire) --From 2002 to 2007, the number of black-owned businesses increased by 60.5 percent to 1.9 million, more than triple the national rate of 18.0 percent, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Survey of Business Owners. Over the same period, receipts generated by black-owned businesses increased 55.1 percent to $137.5 billion. "Black-owned businesses continued to be one of the fastest growing segments of our economy, showing rapid growth in both the number of businesses and total sales during this time period," said Census Bureau Deputy Director Thomas Mesenbourg. These new data come from the Survey of Business Owners: Black-Owned Businesses: 2007. The survey provides detailed information every five years for black-owned businesses, including the number of firms, sales and receipts, number of paid employees and annual payroll. Data are presented by geographic area (nation, state, county, city and metro area), industry and size of business. Preliminary national and state data were released in July 2010. In 2007, nearly four in 10 black-owned businesses operated in the health care and social assistance; and repair, maintenance, personal and laundry services sectors. The retail trade and health care and social assistance sectors accounted for 27.4 percent of black-owned business revenue. Among states, New York had 204,032 black-owned businesses and accounted for 10.6 percent of the nation's black-owned businesses, followed by Georgia, with 183,874 black-owned businesses (9.6 percent) and Florida, with 181,437 (9.4 percent). Among counties, Cook, Ill., had the most black-owned businesses, with 83,733, accounting for 4.4 percent of all the nation's black-owned businesses. Los Angeles followed with 59,680 (3.1 percent) and Kings, N.Y., with 52,705 businesses (2.7 percent). Among cities, New York had the most black-owned businesses, with 154,929 (8.1 percent of all the nation's black-owned businesses), followed by Chicago, with 58,631 (3.1 percent), Houston, with 33,062 (1.7 percent) and Detroit, with 32,490 (1.7 percent). Other highlights: * Of the 1.9 million black-owned businesses in 2007, 106,824 had paid employees, an increase of 13.0 percent from 2002. These businesses employed 921,032 people, an increase of 22.2 percent; their payrolls totaled $23.9 billion, an increase of 36.3 percent. Receipts from black-owned employer businesses totaled $98.9 billion, an increase of 50.2 percent from 2002. * In 2007, 1.8 million black-owned businesses had no paid employees, an increase of 64.5 percent from 2002. These nonemployer businesses' receipts totaled $38.6 billion, an increase of 69.0 percent. * The number of black-owned businesses with receipts of $1 million or more increased by 35.4 percent to 14,507 between 2002 and 2007. The Survey of Business Owners defines black-owned businesses as firms in which blacks or African-Americans own 51 percent or more of the equity, interest or stock of the business. Additional reports from the survey highlighting other minority- and veteran-owned businesses will be issued over the next year. Subsequently, separate publications will be issued highlighting additional characteristics of all businesses and their owners. Postal Service Begins 2011 with Loss in First Quarter Recession eases, but First-Class Mail volume continues to decline Washington, DC (MMD Newswire) February 9, 2011 -- The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) ended the first quarter of this fiscal year (Oct. 1 - Dec. 31, 2010) with a net loss of $329 million, compared to a net loss of $297 million for the same period in fiscal year 2010. Excluding the cost of prefunding future retiree healthcare benefits and noncash adjustments to the workers' compensation liability, the Postal Service would have had a net income of $226 million for the first quarter. Despite significant cost reductions and efforts to grow revenue, current financial projections indicate that the Postal Service will have a cash shortfall and will have reached its statutory borrowing limit by the end of the fiscal year. Absent changes in applicable laws, the Postal Service will be forced to default on some of its financial obligations to the federal government on Sept. 30, 2011. "The Postal Service continues to seek changes in the law to enable a more flexible and sustainable business model," said Postmaster General and CEO Patrick R. Donahoe. "We are eager to work with Congress and the Administration to resolve these issues prior to the end of the fiscal year." Economic indicators suggest that the worst of the precipitous volume decline during the recession is over. The lack of strong economic growth, however, continues to have an impact on the Postal Service's financial situation. Total mail volume increased a modest 707 million pieces or 1.5 percent for the first quarter of 2011, compared to the first quarter of 2010. Total mail volume remains well below the 2006 peak. Mailing Services revenue of $15.3 billion decreased $520 million, or 3.3 percent, in the first quarter of 2011, compared to the same period a year ago. Mailing Services volume of 45.9 billion represents a 1.5 percent increase from the same period a year earlier. Revenues from Mailing Services declined despite an increase in overall volume. The increase in revenue from Standard Mail was not sufficient to offset the loss of revenue from the reduced volume of First Class Mail. Mailing Services results include: * First-Class Mail revenue of $8.8 billion, on volume of 20 billion pieces; * Standard Mail revenue of $5 billion, on volume of 23.8 billion pieces; * Periodicals revenue of $480 million, on volume of 1.8 billion pieces; and * Package Services revenue of $431 million, on volume of 186 million pieces. Shipping Services revenue of $2.6 billion increased 1.7 percent or $42 million compared to the same period a year ago. Shipping Services volume of 422 million pieces represented a 2.4 percent increase compared to the same period a year earlier. Details of the first quarter results include: * Operating revenue of $17.9 billion, compared to $18.4 billion in the same period a year earlier, a decrease of 2.6 percent; * Operating expenses of $18.2 billion, compared to $18.6 billion in the same period a year earlier, a decrease of 2.4 percent; * Total mail volume of 46.4 billion pieces, compared to 45.7 billion pieces in the same period a year earlier, an increase of 1.5 percent. The Postal Service reduced work hours in the first quarter by 6.4 million hours or 2.1 percent representing a reduction of approximately 3,600 full time equivalent employees. The number of career employees on Dec. 31, 2010 was 578,292, a reduction of 5,616 employees since the beginning of the first quarter. Since Dec. 31, 2007, the number of career employees has been reduced by 102,721 or 15.1 percent Service performance remained excellent during the first quarter, with the national score for overnight Single-Piece First-Class Mail arriving on-time 96 percent of the time, a slight improvement over the same period a year earlier. "I am very proud of our workforce. Postal employees continue to deliver exceptional service in these difficult times and in very challenging weather," said Postmaster General Patrick R. Donahoe, addressing the Postal Service's Board of Governors in open session today in Washington. Several new marketing initiatives have been introduced that may help to improve revenue growth in 2011, including expansion of simplified addressing for business mailers, Priority Mail Regional Rate Boxes, Reply Rides Free, customized cards and the sale of gift cards. In addition, in January 2011, new Shipping Services prices increased an average of 3.6 percent. New Mailing Services prices that are limited to the Consumer Price Index cap of 1.7 percent, will take effect in April. While new marketing initiatives and price increases may help improve revenue growth, electronic diversion implies long term structural changes in demand. The Postal Service is aggressively pursuing a plan to reduce total expenses, which include organizational redesign initiatives. The Postal Service projects $2 billion in cost savings in fiscal year 2011, including a reduction of some 40 million work hours across the organization. Benefits of these initiatives, however, may be offset by rising fuel prices. Also, new contracts with the American Postal workers Union (APWU) and the National Rural Letter Carriers Association (NRLCA) are currently in negotiation. Copies of the first quarter financial results will be available later today on the Postal Service website: http://www.usps.com/financials/_doc/Quarter_I_FY11_10Q_Final.doc The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses, and relies on the sale of postage, products and services to fund its operations.

New York – Wealthy investor Warren Buffett recently expressed his views on the U.S. economy, stating that the U.S. was not yet out of a recession. As reported by Reuters, Buffett proposed that contrary to an assessment stating the recession ended over a year ago, the country is still in a downturn that may take some time to get out of. Buffett is quoted by Reuters as stating to CNBC television, “We’re still in a recession… We’re not gonna be out of it for a while, but we will get out.” As noted in the report, the National Bureau of Economic Research stated that June 2009 had marked the ending of an 18-month recession, however economic activity had not necessarily resumed as normal. Buffett reportedly stated his definition of recession varied from that of the NBER. Buffett: The Economy Has 'Fallen Off A Cliff' Warren Buffett Slams "Cap and Trade" as a Regressive Tax on All Americans Gold Supply Increases in Second Quarter of 2010
2010-09-16 17:23:04 (GMT) (WiredPRNews.com The supply of gold rose in the second quarter (Q2) of 2010, with an increase of 17% over Q2 2009. Also, up was mine production by 5% over 2009 to 658.5 tons. This increase was fueled by new operations that increased gold mining productivity. Australia led the way with new Mewmont’s Boddington gold mine supplying the largest output of gold. Other very productive mines in Q2 2010 were the Agnico Eagle gold mine in Mexico and the Valadero mine in Argentina. Not all gold mines had a productive quarter as the Grasberg mine in Indonesia and the Yanachocha mine in Peru both declined by 32%. Poor grades of ore were contributed to the production decline. The big buyers in Q2 2010 were central banks that took more gold out of the market. The official numbers came in at a net purchase of 7.7 tons. The IMF in Q2 2010 was a heavy buyer of 47 tons of gold which now puts their inventory to 283.1 tons. This total leaves only 120.2 tons left that have been marked to sale. Russia is one of the leading countries looking to acquire gold to their reserves including 34 tons in Q2 2010. Russia has shown to have a committed program to accumulating a large reserve of gold. Recycled gold hit the second highest quarter with 496 tons changing hands which was up 35% over Q2 2009. The increase in people selling their own personal gold bullion positions can be attributed to the higher prices across most markets foreign and domestic. The recycling of gold has been on a steady increasing trend as many have started to look at cashing in on what can be considered nice profits. Non Western markets especially the Asian markets saw high amounts of Q2 sales from market specific high gold prices. The increase in recycled gold is also attributed to the belief that many held gold in the first quarter of 2010 with expectations of higher prices to come in the second quarter which did materialize. In the United States gold prices hit record highs in June and September. India seems to be one country still holding out for even higher prices for gold. Their second quarter numbers for gold recycling was considerably lower than expected. GOLD VS DOLLAR from Webmaster B. javamanmonk: It is a well-known fact, that the forces of supply and demand also affect prices on the consumer goods mentioned in the video clip, but as a general rule of thumb, the narrator is correct in relating the price of gold and paper currency to consumer goods. It is sound advice to have a diverse portfolio. Gold Rush 2010
Tuesday, Sept. 14, 2010 - Gold reached a new all-time high of $1,275.40, breaking the previous record high of $1265.50 on June 21, 2010! This is due in part to economic concerns in Europe and the weakening U.S. dollar index. Accordingly, gold experienced an upward surge on Tuesday, September 14, 2010. A Bloomberg survey of 29 financial investors, traders and analysts have predicted that gold may rally as high as $1,500.00 next year. Demand for physical gold is expected to remain strong as gold continues to be a safe haven investment for long-term and short-term investors alike. Gold futures for December went to a record of $1,276.50 during Tuesday's trading. Silver also had a record day, rising to a new high of $20.55 an ounce. Ron Paul: Bernanke Deliberately Destroying Dollar Gold Near All Time High Again WiredPRNews.com (Press Release Distribution) For those interested in buying gold coins, the news has been extremely interesting as of late. Gold is once again approaching an all-time high. Gold has also closed higher nine years in a row and is on target to do the same this year. As of this writing, the price of gold is just over $1,245 per ounce. This puts it within a couple of percentage points of its all-time high of over $1,265 per ounce. While the price of gold may pull back and correct in the near term, the yellow metal’s performance in recent times puts its long-term prospects in perspective. Gold’s performance has come in the face of a salvo of disappointing economic news in the U.S. The dollar which has weakened, hurt in particular by statements by Chinese officials indicating that they are losing their appetite for the U.S. currency. Since the U.S. dollar is currently the world reserve currency of choice—and has been since the World War II era—gold has a tendency to be its counterweight. Gold is the chief competitor to man-made currencies and is often referred to as the ultimate form of real money. China’s economy has recently surpassed Japan’s as the world’s second largest and China’s foreign currency reserves are massive. For years, China’s reserves have been dominated by dollars, but now that is in doubt. This has had a negative impact on the value of the U.S. dollar. Because gold tends to move in the opposite direction of the dollar over the long run, gold has been the beneficiary of this decline in the dollar and those who had the foresight to hold gold have especially benefited. But the decline in the dollar is not the only economic news that has buoyed gold prices in recent times. There is a great deal of uncertainty pervading the U.S. economy in many areas. The employment picture is bleak. Despite the huge stimulus package passed last year, U.S. unemployment continues to hover at near 10%, one of the highest levels in modern times. The financial markets are uneasy about this situation because the economy can never truly become healthy with so much of the work force sitting idle. And unemployment has been especially persistent in this recession—so much so that some analysts are calling it a depression. This sentiment has people moving toward safe havens, such as gold. The continued trouble in the real estate market is also a factor in the rising price of gold. Traditionally, real estate has been seen as an alternative to paper assets, such as stocks and bonds. In addition, it has also been regarded as a hedge against inflation. Unfortunately for nearly two years now, the real estate market has performed poorly. Many Americans have lost a great deal of money in real estate at a time when they were in need of alternative assets to shelter their wealth from the financial crisis. This was of course caused by the same subprime mortgage debacle which slammed the stock market. The effect of this was to produce a paradigm shift in the correlation between stocks and real estate. No longer could real estate be depended upon to move independently of the stock market since the same factors caused both markets to decline at the same time. This has caused more people to move into gold, particularly gold coins, due to their affordability, convenience, portability and ready liquidity. As long as uncertainty continues to dominate the U.S. economic outlook, financial markets will be uneasy and Americans will seek safety and security. This has already caused the price of gold to reach toward new heights and there is certainly no sign of these conditions changing any time soon. Therefore, higher gold prices are probably in store.

Rudy Giuliani in Drag Spurning Donald Trump Yes, it's former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani in drag Cosmetology and Other Service Occupations on the Rise as 'Boomers' Age Studies show an imminent growth in the cosmetic industry WALLINGFORD, CT, September 06, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- The United States Department of Labor projects that service occupations will see an incline in employment over the next 8 years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics' Economic News Release, skin care and other personal care service jobs are projected to see employment increases between 35 and 40 percent. The service-providing industry as a whole is projected to add 14.6 million jobs, which amounts to 96 percent of the increase in total employment. Organizations providing training ( http://academydicapelli.com/dates/index.html ) for these future service employees will be vital in establishing the "quality" of growth within the industry. Academy Di Capelli School of Cosmetology's motto, "Stop searching for a job and let's start your career!" perfectly encapsulates the direction of the personal care industry from "recreational" to "professional." Located in Wallingford, Connecticut, Academy Di Capelli School of Cosmetology focuses on superb craftsmanship and impeccable service skills, ultimately raising the bar for the cosmetology industry as a whole while providing a place where students can learn from the very best. The increase in the cosmetology industry and other personal care industries is linked primarily to the aging baby boom generation and secondly to the steady demand from teenagers. In 2011, 78 million American baby boomers will begin turning 65. Despite a lackluster economy, salon owners ( http://academydicapelli.com/haircuts/index.html ) say, "We've actually seen an increase in clientele. People seem to be taking care of themselves even more, now that things are looking a little grim." The amount of disposable income in the hands of teenagers and baby boomers is expected to sustain the industry's growth and success.

Contact Information: Is Cloud Computing the Next Big Thing for Businesses Carlsbad, CA, September 18, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In September's issue of Business Review Europe we take a look at why cloud computing is suddenly registering on everyone’s business radar and whether it’s right for your business. We speak to experts FusionCloud and Claranet in order to bring you everything you need to know about the move that could change the way businesses conduct their IT infrastructure. “This ‘corporate class’ technology is now affordable to smaller businesses without them having any upfront investment in infrastructure,” explains Piers Linney, joint CEO of leading cloud computing firm, Outsourcery, Microsoft’s Worldwide Hosting Partner for 2010. “In the current market environment this new wave of cloud computing is empowering companies to become more efficient, productive and work smarter, whilst saving money.” The cloud is suitable for every type of business according to Tony Lucas, founder of one of the first public cloud platforms, Flexiant. He says: “The reason for this usually revolves around privacy or regulatory or things like that. Lloyd’s Banks aren’t suddenly going to put their whole infrastructure on it, for example. It just wouldn’t make sense from a regulatory point of view, even if they could save money. So it’s really about looking at the different services and seeing what fits best.” About Business Review Europe Business Review Europe is a leading digital media source of news and content for C-level executives across European industry.
