Nursing Program!

I have some great information I would like to share with you guy’s tonight. If you have a family member or a friend that’s a nurse listen up. I was just reading about a MS nursing (Master of Science) program being offered by Saint Xavier University’s School of Nursing. This school has been providing the best education a professional nurse could get for over 70 years. However, Saint Xavier University’s School of Nursing only accepts you if you have already received your bachelor’s degree from accredited college or university. After all you would be joining the Masters in Nursing program, so you can see why they want nurses looking to learn more. So if you’re a nurse looking to further your education you really need to check Saint Xavier University’s School of Nursing out. If your not a nurse but know one pass this information how, I think they would appreciate it.

Starbucks In Trouble!

Today Starbucks Corp. released 1st quarter profits, which where down almost 70 percent. That’s a huge percent to be down, that’s almost bankruptcy, which I’m sure will happen in a few months. There’s no way Starbucks can continue to offer $4.00 cups of coffee and stay in business. Most of their customers are the ones losing their jobs. And most of the other people like me are heading to McDonalds for the same crap. Heck, I can’t even remember the last time I purchased a cup of coffee.

Anyway, Starbucks is closing another 300 hundred stores on top of their 600 already planed. Their stating that this will result in about 6000 retail jobs lost and about 700 office jobs. I read that this cut will save them about $500 million this year. Hopefully they will be able to transfer some of those employees across the street to their other store, you know what I mean, and it’s true.

The List Grows!

Most of you already know about the arrest of Bernard Madoff, but did you know the list of clients he had? I was just reading that Madoff said the list of clients that where part of the Ponzi scheme where 25. But that seems not to be the case as Federal Investigators dig deeper. Some of the affected ones of this scheme is Former Philadelphia Eagles owner Norman Braman, New York Mets owner Fred Wilpon and J. Ezra Merkin and the chairman of GMAC Financial Services just to name a few. This scheme as also reached a few non-profit groups, banks, health system, hedge fund and even the Town of Fairfield, Conn. I feel that Bernard Madoff should go to prison until the day he dies. This man had everything, and blow it all away on scheme. And in the end he tried to give what money was left to his family and friends, who turned him in. That’s right, he only got caught because of a few close family members turned him in to the SEC who contacted the Federal Investigators. This guy gets my biggest loser vote for the year.

Global Demand!

The global demand for oil is dropping at a rapid pace. But that didn’t stop the price of oil today because it is on the rise again. It went up close to $45 a barrel, which is an increase of about 4 percent. And coming in the next week OPEC will be cutting production in hopes of driving the price back up. This has been OPEC’s plan for awhile now, driving prices back up. They want the price of oil to sell around $100 a barrel. They just want to fatten their bank accounts and purchase more jewelry to look like kings, wait, their kings already. What needs to be done is more drilling here in the United States. We have so much oil here it’s unbelievable. Did you know that the United States has the biggest oil reserves in the world, that’s right, the world? We just need to loosen some of these crazy laws we have and start drilling. Just think about all the jobs this would create and no more transferring wealth to another country. Just something for everyone to think about next time you fill up.
