System Design as a Function of Technology Strategy - Ascent Media

by Mike Spinks, Principal Consultant

During this challenging economic period, Media & Entertainment (M&E) companies have been forced to focus not on growth and sustainability, but on survival. Companies that remain competitive will do so by adopting or further developing efficient operational systems to reduce costs and maximize revenues. However, these steps, though required, are not sufficient for long-term viability in a changing media landscape. Companies that that achieve efficiency while positioning for future growth will be best equipped to take advantage of the global economic upturn when it finally arrives.

A very special lecture on Ethics

Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:48:07 GMT

clipper's remarks: rest:

But when it comes to violating fundamental ethical principles, Spitzer has left prostitution behind in favor of mass theft and economic slavery:

[Spitzer's] lecture is about the basis for government intervention in the private economy. The title of the lecture is: "From Ayn Rand to Ken Feinberg — How Quickly the Paradigm Shifts. What Should Be the Rationale for Government Participation in the Market?"

The answer: the only rationale for Demonrats like Spitzer to seize control of the economy is that they think they can get away with it.

Our degenerate liberal elite rulers are redefining the term "self-parody":

Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer will give a lecture Thursday afternoon at Harvard University's ethics center, raising a few questions over what the prostitute-visiting ex-official has to say on the topic.

The engagement drew an objection from the former madam whose escort service provided Spitzer with high-end hookers.

According to The New York Post, Kristin Davis, who reportedly repeatedly supplied Spitzer with an escort, wrote a protest letter to the Edmond J. Safra Foundation Center for Ethics calling Spitzer a "man without ethics."

"I am greatly intrigued as to what Mr. Spitzer could contribute to an ethical discussion when as Chief Executive Law Enforcement Officer of NY he broke numerous laws for which he has yet to be punished," she wrote, according to the newspaper. "As Attorney General he went around arresting and making examples out of the same escort agencies he was frequenting."

How US President created a market for Debt Settlement

Today more than 90 % American families want debt solutions due to the huge debt problem in the economy. An average American is a multi card holder and spends through his credit card on an every day basis. Family not doing too well at least posses one credit card. With loss of jobs and recessionary economy it is getting difficult for families to pay their credit card debts. People are looking for debt solutions to get out of debt and avoid bankruptcy.

In current turbulent economy people are unable to generate money to run their family expenses. Paying credit card bill is the last thing on their mind. The financial banks in order to keep themselves afloat are increasing the collection efforts with the delinquent customers. This effort is not paying up much to the financial institutions. As a matter of fact bankruptcy is becoming common as people are opting for it to stop the harassment from debt collectors.

clipper's remarks: "The day after Thanksgiving, thousands of Americans head for the shopping malls for a ritual known as Black Friday, called such as it’s a day when many retailers move from the red (losses) into the black (gains).Who knows if this year will be like most others for retailers. But I’d challenge you to take this year off from Black Friday. Instead, celebrate Make Something Day. "

It’s the time of year when we start thinking about gifts. No, I’m not talking about Christmas. Friends Jason and Brooke Evans started Make Something Day a couple years ago as a way of practicing an alternative economy of simplicity and gift-giving on the most conspicuous consumption day of the year: Black Friday. Naturally, this idea appealed to me right away as it goes hand-in-hand with the gift economy approach of the Twoshirts.org Community.

Here’s a snippet from the MSD website:

Republicans Edge Ahead of Democrats for 2010 House Elections, Poll Shows

According to a Gallup poll released Wednesday, 48 percent of voters said they would back a Republican, while 44 percent said they would support a Democrat, if the 2010 House elections were held today.

Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele (AP).

Fresh off major Election Day victories in Virginia and New Jersey, Republicans got another boost Wednesday with a new Gallup poll that shows registered voters would favor the GOP over Democrats if the 2010 congressional election were held today.

Independent voters were decidedly stronger in their preference for a Republican candidate, choosing the GOP by a 22 percent margin -- 52 to 30 percent -- according to the survey.

"The wind is going to be at the backs of the Republicans" going into the 2010 midterm elections, but "it could be anything from a breeze to hurricane force," Sabato added.

China's record debt has economists worried

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 16:14:23 GMT

Clip Source: money.cnn.com

In a world still awash in economic worry, China has stood apart as the one country that has come through the global slump with only the briefest of hiccups.

Last quarter the nation grew at a brisk 8.9% rate, and many economists expect it to expand even faster over the remainder of the year. Profits at large, state-owned companies that have benefited from Beijing's aggressive stimulus program are up sharply.

A lot of global CEOs, of course, are on the thank-God-for-China bandwagon, and it might seem a little churlish to question one of the world's few good-news economic stories. Yet a growing number of observers believe that China is creating its own bubble economy. And they have a case to make.

The U.S. fueled its housing and consumption bubbles by providing easy credit. China seems headed in the same direction, although the victims would be different this time.

In the first nine months of the year, Beijing has shoveled $1.27 trillion in new loans into the economy

part of a vibrant, international grassroots movement that brings people together to explore how we – as communities - can respond to the environmental, economic and social challenges arising from climate change, resource depletion and an economy based on growth. We don’t look for anyone to blame or anyone to save us, but believe our communities have within themselves the innovation and ingenuity to create positive solutions to the converging crises of our time. We believe in igniting and supporting local responses at any level and from anyone – and aim to weave them together into a coordinated action plan for change towards a lower energy lifestyle. By building local resilience, we will be able to collectively respond to whatever the future may bring in a calm, positive and creative way. And by remembering how to live within our local means, we can rediscover the spirit of community and a feeling of power, belonging and sharing in a world that is vibrant, just and truly sustainable

Cloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery

Tue, 10 Nov 2009 17:37:33 GMT

clipped by: dl211
clipper's remarks: Obama adheres to the Saul Alinksy Rules for Radicals method of politics, which teaches the dark art of destroying political adversaries. However, that text reveals only one front in the radical left's war against America. The Cloward/Piven Strategy is another method employed by the radical Left to create and manage crisis. This strategy explains Rahm Emanuel's ominous statement, "You never want a serious crisis to go to waste."

The Cloward/Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal is to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.

The Cloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery

Using borrowed money for a band-aid bailout of the economy should seem backwards to most people. However, it likely is a planned strategy to promote radical change. Those naively believing that President Obama is simply rewarding his far-left base, and will then move to the political center, must wise up.

The assumption that Obama will need the nation to prosper in order to protect the 2010 mid-term election incorrectly assumes that he esteems free market capitalism. He does not. Rather than win through superior ideas and policies, the Democrat plan for success in the mid-term elections is to win by destroying political opposition.

Clip Source: www.lewrockwell.com

Secondly, Social Justice may be seen not as a particular viewpoint on such issues, but rather as a concern with studying them with no preconceived notions. In this perspective, no particular stance is taken on issues of poverty, capitalism, socialism, discrimination, government regulation of the economy, free enterprise, environmentalism, taxation, charity, diversity, etc. Rather, the only claim is that such topics are important for a liberal arts education, and that any institution of higher learning that ignores them does so at peril to its own mission.

Clip Source: ihireconstruction.4worklife.com

If you have ever been unemployed in a slumping economy, you know how difficult it can be to find a new job. Like any industry, it will suffer in a depressed economy, but because of the nature of the current slump, the housing industry has suffered most directly—which in turn effected the construction industry like never before. Combine this depressed state of economics with an influx of immigrants looking for construction jobs and you have a recipe for disaster. It is more difficult now to find a job in the construction industry than it has been for a long time.
