HELSINKI (AP) — Wireless equipment maker Nokia Siemens Networks will slash 17,000 jobs — almost one-quarter of its work force — in a move to cut annual costs by €1 billion ($1.35 billion) by 2013, company officials said Wednesday.
The joint venture between Finland’s Nokia Corp. and Sie
Its attractive, but very dangerous, to try to calculate a bottom line for a firms social or environmental performance. Attractive, because key stakeholders are increasingly interested in knowing those kinds of details. But the main danger should be obvious: theres just no way to add up the disparate factors that make up a firms social or environmental performance. How do you add together litres-of-water-used plus hectares-of-habitat-destroyed? On the social performance side, how do you sum up number-of-women-in-senior-management plus fair-trade-contracts signed?
The answer of course is that you cannot. You cant add up things that are represented in different units of measure.
What to do if you are loaded with unexpected expenses? What if you are running short of money to pay late or unexpected bills? Sometimes you need money immediately when you are planning a dream vacation or have emergency medical expenses. All these are the situations when you have no other option but to apply for cash advance money mutual!
Such conditions that lead us to a need for immediate monetary assistance are not faced every day. This is an emergency that can not wait until your next salary. Situation may differ and tend to become irregular, from time to time for most people.
And at that stage, the mental tension with an urgent need for money can be a problem. Read more…

NEW YORK (AP) – The NBA will play a shortened season — if it plays at all — after labor negotiations broke down for the second time in a week.
NBA Commissioner David Stern canceled all November games on Friday, the 120th day of the lockout.
“It’s not practical, possible or prudent to have a full season now,” said Stern, who previously canceled the first two weeks of the season.
Just a day earlier, Stern had said he would consider it a failure if the two sides didn’t reach a deal in the next few days and vowed they would take “one heck of a shot” to get it done.
Owners are insistent on a 50-50 split of revenues, while players last formally proposed they get 52.5 percent, leaving them about $100 million apart annually. Pla
One of the key criticisms lobbed in the direction of corporations is that theyre essentially a mechanism for avoiding personal responsibility.
But this property is hardly unique to corporations. And its certainly not always a bad thing.
The notion that corporations shield individuals from responsibility actual has two components: one about moral and legal culpability for wrongdoing, and another about financial responsibility.
On the financial side, the lack of individual responsibility goes by the legal name of limited liability. Limited liability applies most famously to shareholders, who generally cannot lose more than whatever they have invested in corporate shares. When corporations do well, shareholders may be paid dividends; but no matter what happens, shareholders are never expected to pay the corporations debts.
