AzileretsisBack on, baby!fog of numbers- June 26, 2008 I've spent the last year in my first accounting position. I like the feeling when the numbers add up even after seconds, minutes, or hours it takes for it to happen. Accounting involves a lot more analytical skills than I expected since I always thought the numbers would appear magically before you (no, you have to search for them). I don't like the hecticness of fiscal year end. I realize now that numbers can also seem subjective to people or at least the information around them. I have to...http://www.azileretsis.com/archives/2008/06/fog_of_numbers.html smile- June 25, 2008 I saw this comic on someone's desk recently. I had to smile since I am only beginning to understand.http://www.azileretsis.com/archives/2008/06/smile_1.html creative- June 18, 2008 I was disappointed to hear about the off-shore drilling idea. Trying to create more supply for a finite source doesn't seem like a good idea. Why can't we think out-of-the-box Here's another idea. Why don't the US government provide significant tax incentives to SUVtruck owners (gas guzzlers) and companies to trade in their cars for more gas-friendly cars (40gal) These owners are the main group experiencing price shock at the gas stations. Not only would the car owners be happy but also the.http://www.azileretsis.com/archives/2008/06/creative.html revise- June 17, 2008 While setting up my newest blog for journal reviews, I've realized how long it's been since I've done any major revisions to the website. The main reason is that Moveable Type hasn't had any major revisions (well, of use to me anyways) but their new stylesheets doesn't work. Hasn't anyone heard of backward compatibility Yet, another summer project. The new site's primary audience is me. The journal reviews will all pertain to the core sciences particularly Biology. I need a place where I can.http://www.azileretsis.com/archives/2008/06/revise.html company- June 16, 2008 Yahoo is a company not to be discounted. I read the NY Times piece. It is a public company but it is also a very resilient and still creative company. As long as it continues to be a dynamic entity that meets its customer's needs, I think the stock price will rebound. I think they have a brighter future without being Microsoft's looking glass. Does anyone else a bad feeling in the pit of their stomach when they see their retirement fund company in the news these days AIG manages many state..http://www.azileretsis.com/archives/2008/06/yahoo.html justice- June 12, 2008 Gitmo has existed now for six years. It's impacted the constitution, gone through all the branches, and its influence is world-wide. At its center is the debate over habeas corpus. Our rights around habeas corpus were one of the center pieces in the American Revolution. Over the years, many countries have followed US's example in the laws around habeas corpus. My question is what will happen in these countries and other countries when we continue to restrict these rights.http://www.azileretsis.com/archives/2008/06/justice.html interest- June 6, 2008 A topic that has captured my attention lately is biosensors. A business is trying to link it up to RFID. Size might be a problem. Another company that I have my eyes on is Oncolytics Biotech. They have some interesting research concerning viruses and aggressive cancers. Actually, they have a connection to popular culture in that recent Grey's Anatomy episodes feature this oncolytic virus therapy.http://www.azileretsis.com/archives/2008/06/interest.html |
