“Economic woes put more jobs on the line”
►Today on the PROPORTION of the newspaper that I read said that As automakers announced their latest batch of awful sales numbers yesterday, reinforcing the gloom spreading across the economy, the troubles confronting U.S. workers seemed to intensify. Plummeting housing prices have in recent months eliminated jobs for hundreds of thousands of people, from bankers and real estate agents to construction workers and furniture manufacturers. Tighter lending standards imposed by banks in the wake of massive mortgage losses have made it difficult for many to secure credit and has crimped the appetite of consumers, whose spending amounts to 70 percent of the economy. Joblessness has accelerated, and employers have slashed working hours for those on their payrolls, shrinking the size of paychecks just as workers need them the most. Now, add to that unsavory mix the word from automakers that sales plunged in June – by 28 percent for Ford, 21 percent for Toyota and 18 percent for General Motors – a sign that consumers are pulling back, making manufacturers more likely to cut production and impose more layoffs.
►I agree because this is not a SCHEME.
►I also agree because they REGISTER all the things that they do.
►I also agree because this is going to improve the economy of US.
►I think the most interesting fact is that they are creating more jobs.
Today on CNN I read an article about authorities have captured an Illinois man suspected of killing eight people in two states, the FBI confirmed Tuesday. Nicholas Troy Sheley, 28, of Sterling, was arrested Tuesday evening at a shopping center in Granite City, Illinois, just 10 miles east of St. Louis, Missouri, Special Agent Ross Rice said. Sheley was walking through the parking lot when he was spotted. He was alone, unarmed and arrested without incident on an arrest warrant charging him with the murder of an elderly man in Whiteside County, said Mark Maton, regional commander for Illinois State Police. Just before he was arrested, Sheley stopped at Bindy's bar in the shopping center, prompting at least two patrons who recognized him from news reports to excuse themselves and notify police."He came in and he ordered a water ... went to the bathroom and then ... asked my boss to borrow a lighter to go outside and smoke," said Katie Ronk, a bartender. "When he went outside, that's when all the cops came in."Sheley faces another arrest warrant from Galesburg, in northwestern Illinois, charging him with first-degree murder of a 65-year-old man. He is also suspected in six other killings, including that of a child, in Illinois and Missouri. I think he should do life in prison because he committed some serious crimes.
Today in the union tribune, I read that Starbucks can’t catch a break. The coffee retailer says it will close 600 stores, about 8.5% of its 7,100 total stores, an expansion of the 100-store closing target it had previously announced. The Seattle coffee chain has been feeling the pinch of a tightening economy. In February, the company fired 600 employees and conducted a in-store retraining program to try and revive the Starbuck Experience, as CEO Howard Schultz has called it. Starbucks says it is trying to cull unprofitable stores from the franchise and expects to book $200 million of asset write-offs in the third quarter related to the closings. Starbucks shares are down 40% over the past year. In April, when Starbucks warned that profits for the first quarter would be 6 cents below the 21-cents-per-share Wall Street target, Schultz said the turnaround plan wasn’t taking hold. The current economic environment is the weakest in our company’s history, marked by lower home values, and rising costs for energy, food and other products that are directly impacting our customers, Schultz said at the time. Schultz returned as CEO in January, replacing Jim Donald. As a story by Fortune’s David Stires pointed out, Schultz is trying to undo the exuberant expansion effort of his predecessor Donald who wanted to triple the number of stores to 40,000 with half in the U.S. and the rest abroad.
Today in the Union Tribute i read that Israeli authorities are investigating why a Palestinian resident of Jerusalem rammed his bulldozer into several cars and buses Wednesday, killing three people before Israeli police shot him dead.
Israeli authorities are labeling it a terrorist attack, although they say there is no clear motive and the man -- a construction worker -- acted alone. It is not known if he had links to any terrorist organization.
"If he would have continued ... he would have made his way into an open market, hundreds of people doing shopping there ... and this could have been (an) even worse terrorist attack than we have experienced today."
Police identified the attacker as a Palestinian man from a village in East Jerusalem with a criminal record. He worked at a construction site in the area, one of several along Jaffa Road.
In addition to the fatalities, two people were seriously wounded and 42 others sustained minor injuries, paramedics said.
REFLECTION:Well i think it was a terrorist attack if 42 people were injured and 3 died.Good thing that the police officer shot him or there would have been more inisent people killed so yeah.
!WORDZ FROM $HANNON!
The articl I read today was about an art teacher and former swim and water polo coach at Escondido High School pleaded guilty Tuesday to having unlawful sex with two underage female students. Randy Nack, 32, pleaded guilty to four felony charges, including having unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor more than three years younger than the perpetrator, oral copulation on a person under 18 and two counts of sexual penetration with a foreign object. Nack, who has resigned his position with the Escondido Union High School District, faces a sentence ranging from probation to five years in prison. Sentencing set for Aug. 27 before Vista Superior Court Judge Daniel Goldstein.
My opinion about this article is I think that just how the adult gets time for having sex with the student so should the student get time, but not If the student didn’t want to. But as much as the adult had part in it then so should the student.
