Graue Wolken am Bauhimmel: die dritte Runde der Tarifgespr?che für die rund 700.000 Besch?ftigten des Bauhauptgewerbes ist am Dienstag ergebnislos beendet worden.



Die Gewerkschaft fordert für die 700.000 Besch?ftigten sechs Prozent mehr Lohn sowie das Anpassen der Ostgeh?lter an das Westniveau. Laut Aussage des IG-Bau Vorsitzenden Klaus Wiesehügel wurde von Arbeitgeberseite ?gar nichts angeboten“, ein Zustand, den die Gewerkschaft nicht hinnehmen wird. Man gebe sich kampfbereit und wolle in keine weitere Verhandlungsrunde gehen, so eine Sprecherin der IG Bau. Am Montag wird sich die Arbeitnehmerseite entscheiden, ob die geführten Gespr?che offiziell für gescheitert erkl?rt werden und das angedachte Schlichtungsverfahren eingeleitet wird. Als Schlichter k?nnte der ehemalige Superminister für Wirtschaft und Arbeit, Wolfgang Clement agieren.

Sieben Stunden dauerte die erneute Auflage des Tarifgespr?chs zwischen dem Zentralverband des Deutschen Baugewerbes (ZDB) und der Gewerkschaft IG Bauen-Agrar-Umwelt (IG Bau). Grund für das Scheitern ist der beiderseitige Vorwurf der mangelnden Verhandlungsbereitschaft. Seitens der IG Bau soll nun geprüft werden, ob ein Schlichtungsverfahren zwischen den beiden Tarifpartnern eingeleitet werden soll.

Natürlich sieht die Arbeitgeberseite die Gespr?che aus einem anderen Blickwinkel. ?Die Gewerkschaft hat sich am Mindestlohn festgebissen“, so eine Sprecherin des ZDB. Ob es für den im M?rz ausgelaufenen Tarifvertrag noch zu einer für alle Seiten zufriedenstellenden L?sung kommt, ist derzeit mehr als fraglich. Bereits die zweite Gespr?chsrunde wurde ohne Ergebnis Ende M?rz abgebrochen.

yhwk Dell shares dip, after peculiar 8.5 percent r

But in early morning trading Wednesday, Dell gave up some of those gains, falling 3.9 percent to $8.79 a share, while the broader markets advanced. The Dow rose 0.83 percent to 6,781.61, and the Nasdaq was up 1.46 percent to 1,340.32.

Investors, at most, could have been responding to Dell’s chief financial officer, who, as noted in the Austin American Stateman, expected to increase the company’s level of manufacturing outsourcing.

Dell’s stock rose Tuesday, in contrast with the broader markets.

Last month, the company’s two largest investors, CEO Michael Dell and Southeastern Asset Management, increased their stakes in the company, as Dell’s shares fell to 52-week lows.

The company’s founder upped his stake to 12 percent in mid-February, from his previous position of 11.2 percent. Southeastern Asset Management, meanwhile, increased its stake to 7.5 percent in early February, up from 5.3 percent.

Dell shares dip, after peculiar 8.5 percent rise

Updated at 7:45 a.m. PST with new stock prices and information on Dell’s two largest investors.

Dell’s stock acted like a bit of a contrarian against the broader markets for a second day Wednesday, after a peculiar rise of 8.5 percent the previous day on no news.

Dell closed at $9.15 a share on Tuesday, up 72 cents from the previous day, while the broader markets posted losses. Dell’s share performance was rather peculiar, given that the company had issued no significant financial news and that the rumor mill was relatively quiet.

gewi Come Monday at 8, Woz’s chances have increase

The other is the woman whom America has been hugging so close to its bosom that I’m amazed she has managed to draw breath since last week. Yes, it’s Melissa SomethingOrOther, the sad, sad girl who was dumped on television last week by the Bachelor with the most untrustworthy face since the car dealer who sold you a Pontiac with no engine.

I only mention it because Mark Cuban apparently calculated that if the Woz gets zero marks from the judges and everyone else gets a perfect 300, he only needs to get 6 percent more of the viewers’ vote to win anyway.

Chris Matyszczyk is an award-winning creative director who advises major corporations on content creation and marketing. He brings an irreverent, sarcastic, and sometimes ironic voice to the tech world. He is a member of the CNET Blog Network and is not an employee of CNET.


But please don’t let that influence you at all. At all. This is a serious show. And I know you will treat it seriously.

In the limp-up to Monday night’s big event (ABC, 8 o’clock, as if you didn’t know), Nancy O’Dell, who smiles a lot on some entertainment show or other, has bowed out with a knee that couldn’t pasa the doble. And Jewel, a singer who used to live in acar or a truck or a truck stop or something like that, fractured, well, a couple of tibias.

I know so many of you will be wishing him luck, watching the show with a very twitchy posture, while not gaming the voting system using your consummate, brilliant, underused and deeply underestimated hacking prowess.

Come Monday at 8, Woz's chances have increased

When it comes to “Dancing with the Stars,” Steve Wozniak has already proved his legs are limber, not timber. They may not be the longest limbs in the competition, but they have not disintegrated like a C-list ego.

Karina and the Woz will be performing the cha-cha to that memorable tune to which you yourself may have, on occasion, tripped the heavy fantastic, “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet” by Bachman Turner Overdrive.

Because I know so many of you live, breathe, and obsessively google “Dancing with the Stars,” I can tell you that one replacement is former Playboy model and number one girlfriend of Hugh Hefner, Holly Madison.

Boris? Isn't he Karina's bodyguard?

This means the show has had to scramble like a new social networking site trying to get funding in order to find last-minute replacements.

The early favorite is, so very surprisingly, Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. And the Woz’s first target (after staying upright) will be to do better than Mark Cuban.

For those of you who missed it because you were having open heart surgery, the Bachelor first proposed to her, then changed his mind a few weeks later and snogged some other store assistant or Avon saleslady or whatever.

By surviving the training where others have fallen to the floor, the Woz’s chances have unquestionably increased. By at least 0.2 percent.

The Woz (surely he now always deserves a “The” before his moniker) has been training hard, getting used to wearing heels every day as opposed to only occasionally and testing the patience of Karina Smirnoff. She is his partner, a professional with a harder derriere than a corpse well into rigor mortis.



I will be posting action updates live–well, live PST version–tonight. Bet you can hardly wait.

Poha CNET News Maker Faire contest winners chosen_

“Victory Energy Gardens.” Grow power at home with little generators everywhere. The same way we standardize energy-eating appliances, there should be a simple plug-in standard for energy producing devices. Update the national electrical code to include this standard, and set a timeline, the same as we did for HDTV. Got a creek? A windy rooftop? A treadmill? Figure out a way to make it spin a standard generator, and plug it in to produce power.

Recycle, Reduce, Reuse. I am a mother of nine and I find that we use a lot of everything in our home. So, it is very important for me to help my family understand this impact on our country’s environment. In my small way I teach them this by finding ways to re-purpose items as often as possible. This winter, my twin 10-year-old daughters learned how to unravel old sweaters to use the yarn for new knitting projects. They learned how to felt discarded wool sweaters for new items, like pot holders or wallets/purses. For Christmas, my sons received sweater pillows for their beds. These had some small defects that might have landed them in the trash, but instead they kept them warm all winter. I think kids understand that the need to recycle effects everyone’s future, especially their own.

On June 22, Geek Gestalt will kick off Road Trip 2009. After driving more than 12,000 miles in the Pacific Northwest, the Southwest and the Southeast over the last three years, I’ll be looking for the best in technology, science, military, nature, aviation and more in Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Montana and South and North Dakota. If you have a suggestion for someplace to visit, drop me a line. And in the meantime, join the Road Trip 2009 Facebook page and follow my Twitter feed.

A big thanks to everyone who submitted, to Maker Faire for offering the tickets and T-shirts, and to Torrone for judging.

• Second place, Nifer Fahrion:

I brought out of my closet a game that Dad made over 30 years ago. He re-used the bottom portion of an egg carton, paper towel roll and some felt for rolling the dice in. I think in order to remake America we need to think of different ways to use things that we already have around the house.

As a crafter, I have witnessed and participated in skills sharing salons, from knitting and screen-printing, to computer programming and welding. Skills sharing salons provide infrastructure and collaboration opportunities for people, as well as encourage knowledge exchange, learning, and mentoring. These types of salons also allow for artistic collaboration and experimentation, birthing fresh and creative new ways of interacting with one’s world.

Each winner will receive four tickets to the upcoming Maker Faire in San Mateo, Calif., as well as a festival T-shirt.

Dad would tie up his newspapers for recycling back when no one else was even thinking about recycling. I think America also has been recycling more than when Dad first started but, still, make it part of your daily life.

My 90-year-old dad was the first I knew of that was a DIYer. He had coffee cans in his shed full of nails. If anything would break down, he would fix it. If America would repair more items, it would reduce the need to make more items.

CNET News Maker Faire contest winners chosen

Nifer Fahrion (left) was one of five winners of the CNET News Maker Faire contest. Entrants were tasked with submitting an idea for using DIY to remake America. Here, Fahrion is seen at a past Maker Faire showing off her felting skills.

As a high-school teacher, I am inspired to use the DIY spirit in our schools. I’d like to see our school as incubators and curators for the creative ideas that burst forth from our youth. I’d love to be able to teach about nutrition and actually have a space for students to cook and create meals. I’d love to have students learn about biology and ecology by planting and maintaining a garden. I’d love to bring back some of the mechanical arts–which, like cooking and sewing, have been taken out of many of our schools–and teach students some hands-on skills, like how to fix their own bicycles or how to build their own solar cell phone chargers. I think there’s a lot of room for DIY ideas in our own schools.

To the winners, enjoy Maker Faire, and to everyone else, let’s keep on using the DIY spirit to remake America, and the world.

Whether skill sharing salons are held as a monthly crafting session, or are more semi-formalized through small collectives, they have the power to change the way Americans have come to interact with their world. By instilling each other with the DIY attitude, we no longer are passive observers of the world around us, but rather are creating what we want our world to be, one stitch at a time.

I’m talking about CNET News’ Maker Faire contest, that is, in which readers were challenged to come up with the best way to use a do-it-yourself (DIY) philosophy to remake America.



• Fourth place, Mickey Staudt:

After receiving the submissions, I forwarded a numbered, anonymous, set of finalists’ entries on to our celebrity judge, Make magazine senior editor Phillip Torrone, who then chose the five winners.

The submissions came in fast and furious at the deadline, and in the end, only five could win.

• First place, Karen Fraga:

• Fifth place, Jacob Rose:

• Third place, Christopher Pepper:

The winners, in order, were:

CNET News Daily Podcast: How Symbian can stop the bleeding

Just about everyone knows about theiPhone–and maybe even that it runs on Apple’s mobile operating system–even though the phone makes up only about 10 percent of the smartphone market. Far fewer people know the name of the most widely used mobile operating system, Symbian, which holds nearly 50 percent of the market. But Symbian has been losing market share at a very rapid rate, largely due to the popularity of the iPhone and BlackBerry. CNET News’ Mats Lewan joins today’s podcast to talk about what Symbian plans to take back some of that share.

LOUIS VUITTON HANDBAGS REVIEW: SPRING LOOK VIBRANT BAG

Posted in bag on August 11th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

Just by looking at this louis vuitton handbgas  will tell that it is in fact themed for the spring and summer season. With its vibrant color and large size, this could definitely make a great bag for any vacation.

The Louis Vuitton Monogram Scuba GM is just like the Monogram Scuba Clutch we have featured a few days back, only that this one holds a much spacious size. Measuring 23.6 x 18.1 x 12.2 inches with interior zip and flat pockets, this LV bag should already complete a fabulous vacation look. It is made of subtle monogram embossed neoprene with smooth grained leather trim as well as clean lines with sharp details. It also has some polished gold brass hardware, which includes the Louis Vuitton plaque on the front. It is also designed with a removable leather ID tag, and an open top with central clasp closure. This bag can still be expanded with the tucks on each side.

You can carry this huge Louis Vuitton Purses  through its thin leather shoulder straps with round logo-engraved stud attachments. This could also be a perfect bag to complete a cruise look since this is elegant enough, as well as with its price of $2,580.

blog:JESSICA SIMPSON WITH LOUIS VUITTON DOG CARRIER

Posted in bag on August 11th, 2009 by admin – Comments Off

So we know how Jessica Simpson loves designer purses. And though we’ve already seen her sport the old-time Alexander McQueen Flapper Satchel and the Louis Vuitton Dog Carrier, it still feels good to see her with a new pretty blue dress, which somehow creates a cool and fresh look on her totality.

It was just recently when we’ve talked about her Alexander McQueen satchel, and this time, though the design of the bag didn’t match her rather plain outfit (unlike what we’ve seen her a few days back with a floral frock), at least the shade tells that it is versatile to be paired with any other colors of outfits.

And also, I think her totality created a classier and a more refined appeal because the too much petal-like and stud detailing on the bag is already striking to be paired with an equally striking dress.

So anyway, about the other bag… do we still need to talk about it? I mean, c’mon, we usually (if not always) see her with that and it seems like she never wants to be away from her dog even for some time. Isn’t that a lucky, spoiled dog? It’s a good thing that Jessica also wants her pet to be in-style, and that truly shows how stylish Jessica is.
