The 'Wal' Rocks

The lines in a BW article read

The fallout is evident: After closing 70 stores in February, Circuit City Stores (CC) on Mar. 28 laid off 3,400 employees and put its 800 Canadian stores on the block. Tweeter Home Entertainment Group (TWTR), the high-end home entertainment store, is shuttering 49 of its 153 stores and dismissed 650 workers. Dallas-based CompUSA is closing 126 of its 229 stores, and regional retailer Rex Stores (RSC) is boarding up dozens of outlets, as well as selling 94 of its 211 stores.

And all these are attributed to "WalMart Effect". We all know, they strive for the lowest prices but... WalMart is making disastrous differences. They are not only stopping the producers & manufacturers from deciding the prices and reaching out the customers, but now even the other retailers are not finding ways to stop WalMart.
Well, the above fall is attributed to the slashing of prices by WalMart in the Plasma & LCD TV segments.
Can 'Warehouse' based stores make some difference in this so that the 'Wal' can be made weak?

Banned?

Not sure why this got banned...!

Bad Use of Gun...

What an end to an employee's year end review...

If you have performed bad for one full year & if the manager makes a point about the same at the year end appraisal, it is not right to take weapons to end the life of the manager... I really didn't expect at the least, that to happen at NASA in Houston.

BTW, when is US policies going to change with respect to usage of Guns at domestic levels. We have already heard lots of times of school children using gun at school & now, within a span of 10 days we have heard of 2 more bad examples.

Peace... at a common man's community is more than sufficient. Ain't it?

Red @ Pole...Once again

So, after the Australian GP ending up with Raikkonen, now its time for Massa to be in the pole position at Malaysia. So, it is going to be a Red Ferrari once again today or is Alonso going to take over from 2nd pole?

I wish I can follow these a bit more closer.

Bangla Rocks

I guess after shocking India in the Cricket World Cup, now its the time for the Proteas to get the shock from the same Bangladesh Cricket team in the Super 8.

I guess, the one thing to which I should attribute this success of Bangladesh is to the present coach Dav Whatmore - Guess I spelt him correctly... He is striving to bring success to whichever team he is coaching and if he continues his coaching for the Bangladesh team for some more time, that team will get its own competitive identity...

Debate on Master...

Atlast a debate all over India on the retirement of senior players and especially on Sachin Tendulkar's form, his performances lately, his way of playing only matches & not match winning innings... Thanks to Ian Chappell.

But Sachin will take his own time to retire & sure, there are wide & better oppurtunities awaiting him - What else, a coach for a big team which will pay him more than his current cricket salary...
