"A simple thank-you from the higher-ups would be nice," said Garten, who spends nearly 60 percent of his workweek making personal calls from his desk. "Yesterday I stayed late in order to finish up some work I've been putting off, and nobody even noticed."
Added Garten, "I don't know how much longer I can keep killing myself like this.""A simple thank-you from the higher-ups would be nice," said Garten, who... more

Some telemarketers are allegedly taking advantage of the tough economic times by scamming consumers.
They'll offer to fix your bad credit for a price or they'll try to sell you products "supposedly" made by the disabled. Very tempting, but be careful! ...

Full of fakes. But hey, we all know a fake when we see one.
The label says Prada, Christian Lacroix or Ralph Lauren but they are not top-quality and cannot possibly be real — certainly not at the prices charged. Meanwhile, hawkers offer Rolex and Cartier watches... All fakes. How could they be anything else?
Some of the most famous brand name goods are there: Soaps, face creams, detergents, radios, calculators, ink jet cartridges, spark plugs and vehicle spare parts, tea, coffee — and so much more. All fake, all sold in Saudi Arabia. The quality of packaging was near perfect. Even the manufacturers can have difficulty telling the difference. It is big business, and getting bigger all the time. There are more fake goods being sold than ever before.

Despite occasional bouts of political anti-Americanism invading the commercial sector and manifesting themselves in threats of private boycotts, despite the diversification of Saudi commercial ties away from traditional partners, despite the massive growth of investment and trade with China, India and other eastern nations — despite all this, the US remains Saudi Arabia’s largest trading and investment partner.
This is still true although last year for the first time, because of an increase in imports of Saudi oil, Japan displaced the US as Saudi Arabia’s principal export destination.

Assailing out-of-touch corporate pay and perks, President Barack Obama on Wednesday slammed a salary cap on top executives from companies that want bailouts — but it's a limit that could end up thinning the wallets of only a small number of people.
Obama's action comes as many Americans, while hanging on for economic life, have watched Wall Street high-flyers receive big-dollar bonuses even as their firms draw public help for survival. The outcry has grown with each report of a bailed-out company that plans to buy a jet or hold a Las Vegas retreat.

The civil rights of people experiencing homelessness are continually violated, whether it be by endangering their right to vote, by hate crimes committed against them, by denying children in homeless situations an equal right to education, and even by unjust laws making it illegal to be homeless. NCH is concerned about this illegal disenfranchisement of people experiencing homelessness, and the Civil Rights Project exists to protect the civil rights of people in homeless situations.

The squeeze on big paydays for executives of bailed-out banks will probably leave Wall Street plenty of wiggle room. Consultants on executive pay say the caps imposed by President Barack Obama on Wednesday will probably apply only to a few executives — not star traders, brokers and salespeople who routinely earn whopping pay packages.
Others note Wall Street typically finds ways to exploit loopholes and figure this time will be no different.
"You've got a lot of people on Wall Street who are not executives but still make extremely big salaries," said Mark Borges, a principal at compensation consulting firm Compensia Inc. "I suspect this doesn't impact them at all."The squeeze on big paydays for executives of bailed-out banks will probably leave Wall... more
