Doing a Crime

February 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Crime is used to describe an action which is against a law or something which is illegal. It is a very broad term which describes various things. A crime may be something which is quite minute and harmless to someone, yet a wrong thing since it goes against a set of rules, or it may be something which is done to hurt others.

The rate of crime around the world is increasing day by day. Though human beings have developed a lot in technology and science, and they have been educated in a systematic manner since the time of their birth, it seems they still have the criminal tendencies which remain in their hearts. This is so no matter how educated the people are or how well brought up.
Some people are just born to be criminals. If you look at the statistics you would be surprised to know that most criminals are normal people who never look like one or show any signs of such tendencies. In fact the person you like a lot might be a criminal though you would never dream that he would ever do anything wrong or go against the law in any way.

Crime is something which is simply born in you. Injustice of a system is one, which means that if you feel you have been given injustice in some way there is a good chance that you would turn your back to it. It is one way of looking at it.

Another way of describing a crime is to say that it is something which begins as a pleasure in your heart though you know that it is wrong. There are many criminals who can tell you that they are very aware that what they are doing is wrong but they can’t resist doing it anyways. This is how crime starts and then grows.

Playing With Funds

January 25, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Great news from an unusual domain. In a phase of recession. cutoffs, budget layoffs when funding becomes a big issue, two distinguished member of private equity funds utilized the taxpaying private funds to support charity and not for profit organizations.

Scott and Williams spent nearly 2,00,000 to support their involvement in charity and not for profit organizations as reported earlier. The funds were targeted to meet the needs for seats in lavish fundraising banquets and other associated parties. Scott notably spent the amount on charities where his wife or close acquaintances served on the board of directors. Scott is also believed to have donated a huge amount to a church with which he inked a land deal for the Olympic 2011 bid. In the year 2009, Scott gave full flexibility to turn on the charter of rules and regulations to comply his position as complete autonomy in respect to gifts and other rewards. With the immediate fallout, where the director was immune to any approval, Scott got the flexibility over accelerated donations.

Now after Scott’s departure from the committee board, his involvement with Williams in such shaded dealings is on the verge of disclosure. A recent report from the inspection department of the school raised several questions on the dealings till the departure of Scott. The fiscal report published thereof challenges the authenticity and need for such huge donations.

Notably, Tribune looked at expenditures and calculated the amount to a lofty $525000 to lavish dinners and support to charities. This was actually an incident at a time when school officials were deprived of enough funds to innovate novel technologies and infrastructure for the schools. The tutoring system has thereafter degraded in many pyramids. Many critics have pointed out that ethical and legal matters are highly challenged with the individual’s flexibility with such fund support.

Chicago Public Schools need to be more accountable and funds transpiring from and to the school should be more transparent. That have raised serious questions on spending of taxpayers money. Playing with funds is certainly dangerous. Don’t try it.

Chirp Radio On The Run

January 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

The advent of the audio media has been burgeoned by increased responses in recent times.One of the eventful incident is the approval of the Local Community Radio Act by President Barrack Obama. Such an initiative guarantees better participation of radio related projects to community development. The result has been the promotion of a chirp radio system which promises high satisfaction rate among community groups at large. The major fallback is that the law doesn’t guarantee frequency allocation to groups. For better mobility in the radio market. The new law presumably doesn’t have allowance for free frequency space over which most radio stations bleed over .Such a law has far reaching effects on low FM delivery wherein CHIRP(Chicago Independent Radio Project) and others are in single phase filing petition before the Federal Communications Commission for parallel modes of frequency allocation. Potentially in big markets like Chicago, due to audience response and advertising race, the frequency gets jammed leaving less space for low FM delivery projects.

CHIRP takes pride in sharing its dais with fellow DJs who are not very much common in mainstream music but eager to share their voice. Such an initiative drives novel talents across various domains. CHIRP is a novel innovation running 21 hrs a day from the top of a photo album manufacturing plant in the Northwest side studio. Its platform is basically web based and doesn’t get blinded by legal intricacies surrounding radio license. Though it follows the norms of the FCC for noncommercial radio stations. CHIRP audience garnered to 10 percent to 15 percent from the very first day of launch with a targeted audience of 20,000.Thats a great success for a noncommercial radio delivery and indeed holds high promises.

The funding scenario too holds high promises with organizations like Crossroads funds contributing $5000 and MacArthur Foundation for Arts and Culture extending another same amount. Such funds are geared towards alternative events and affiliate programs again showcasing the innovative management principles of CHIRP. This is how it is making news of late.

Their live performances on the Manhattan streets of New York City gave way to theater performances that began in 1991. This show is one of the longest running shows in New York . They were just three bald men, wearing blue makeup, with the slapstick ability of the old fashioned comedians of yesteryear.
