Jobs, jobs, jobs. If there’s any path out of the mess President Barack Obama found himself in on the first day of his second year in office, more aggressive promotion of the administration’s economy-boosting efforts — coupled with criticism of the Republican approach — is the one he has settled on. The White House in the New Year already had begun focusing greater attention on the nation’s angst over economic issues, including unemployment persisting near 10%. Officials said on Wednesday that shift will intensify now, an acknowledgment that stunning Senate win of Republican Scott Brown in Massachusetts requires course correction in Obama’s presidency.

Read MoreNobel Prize-winning scientist Marshall Nirenberg dies at 82
Marshall Nirenberg, a scientist whose groundbreaking work untangling fundamental genetic processes earned him a Nobel Prize, has died. He was 82. Nirenberg died of cancer January 15 in Manhattan, said his sister, Joan Geiger. He was “one of science’s great titans,” said Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, in a statement on its Web site.
Nirenberg was working at the NIH when he conducted an experiment with a colleague in 1961. The experiment showed them the way genetic information in DNA is translated into proteins in cells. Nirenberg, then only in his mid-30s, took his discovery to a conference in Moscow and spoke about it to a small group of scientists. One of them asked him to repeat his talk in front of a larger group, thus taking it out to the larger scientific world. He continued his work, meeting the challenge of fully identifying the pieces involved in that genetic translating process. For his efforts, he earned the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1968, sharing the award with two other scientists. Nirenberg was aware of the broader societal impact of his work, writing in “Science” magazine that the general public needed to become aware of and understand scientific advances in order to make the best decisions on how to use them.
Read MoreHouse of termites
Hi friends, this New Year I have brought a new house. I thought I could surprise my mom by gifting her a new house for her 25th birthday which is fast approaching in a month’s time. The house was so beautiful and was filled with artistic works. My mom is in abroad now and will join me in a couple of weeks. I am sure that the elegance of the house will surely make my mom feel proud of a son like me.
Although the architect of the house was so beautiful, cleaning work and certain small repairs were to be made since it was quite a old house. When the repair work began every one of us was shocked to see the huge amount of termites staying there. Luckily the termites have recently multiplied and did not cause much damage to the house. Although the termite’s population was quite high I could able to manage the treatment methods very well with the suggestion of an online termite treatment store. Even the termite treatment cost was low and was cover within my budget itself.
Now the house is completely ready with a new look and waiting for my mom to step in.
Read MoreMy toaster story
This New Year I gave a party to my friends in my home. I stay with my younger brother and my parents are in abroad. We had huge plans for the party and all the arrangements were going good. Just 15 to 20 of my friends were planning to get together. Few of our friends shared all the expenses and the work. I was supposed to arrange the dinner; the dinner was getting ready in the oven. Anyone would know how guys responsibility would turn if they were with their friends. We forgot the food in the oven and it got burnt. The oven was a new one brought just couple of weeks before but it showed its work at the right time. Although there was no dinner the party was so good and happy, but I was little upset since it was my duty to arrange the dinner.
The next day itself I started searching for the best oven and was busily getting ratings of toaster oven types. After analyzing various review sites for couple of hours I came to know about many good models of toaster ovens in the market and brought home a good branded one that suits me.
Read MoreChevrolet Volt Concept
GM confirmed the production version of the Chevrolet Volt, announcing that the new plug-in hybrid vehicle would feature 40 miles of electric driving range and extended-range capability for “hundreds of additional miles.” GM calls the Volt an E-REV, for extended-range electric vehicle. The first 40 miles of range are powered by a 16-kwh lithium-ion battery; the battery can be recharged by the Volt’s gasoline engine, which also runs on ethanol. This eliminates “range anxiety,” which GM says comes from the fear of a depleted battery.
GM admits the Volt has evolved from the evocative concept shown at the 2007 Detroit auto show, but it says many cues have come over from the striking concept version. The closed front grille is one hallmark that’s carried over visibly into the production version, while the tapered corners up front and clean lines at the back (including a small spoiler) are styled to manage the Volt’s aerodynamics.
For recharging at the wall, the Volt can be recharged in a standard 120-volt household outlet in about eight hours; on a 240-volt line, the Volt can be recharged in three hours. GM estimates a recharge will cost less than a cup of coffee. Some 220 lithium-ion battery cells produce the equivalent of 150 horsepower and 273 pound-feet of torque. Top speed is 100 mph, but don’t expect dramatically quick acceleration figures.
The Volt’s cockpit is identical to the grainy spy photos shown a few weeks ago here. The center stack is cloaked in Apple-white plastic, with a flip-up touch-screen display. GM says the four-passenger Volt is available with a range of interior colors and lighting options. The cabin also sports an integrated shifter, two info displays and a touch screen for the infotainment system in the gas-electric hybrid. Bluetooth and USB connectivity are standard, while a hard-drive navigation system is an option. GM wants to build the Volt in its Hamtramck facility that also makes Cadillac, but hasn’t locked down the incentives it wants to produce the vehicle. Production begins in late 2010.

Read MoreWorst-ever Q3 in store for telcos?
Expect the worst-ever progress card from the top telecom players for the third quarter. The sector that stood out during the economic slowdown over the past one year will now be severely tested with competition at its peak. According to the analysis of average estimates of ET Intelligence Group and five brokerage houses, top three listed telcos — Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications, and Idea Cellular — are likely to report 22.5% year-on-year fall in aggregate net profit for the December 2009 quarter. Aggregate revenue is not likely to see much improvement from the year-ago level either. The third quarter forecast looks dull compared to the second quarter when sales had grown 7% while net profit had fallen 8% from the year ago. So far, Indian telecom operators had reported buoyant growth fuelled by a rapid increase in subscriber additions. Telcos are adding as much as 1.5 crore users per month.
However, from the December quarter onwards, mere user additions would no more be able to keep the cash registers ringing. The sharp fall in overall tariffs is expected to dent financial performance. “The December quarter is likely to be one of the weakest quarters for the Indian wireless sector. While the industry subscriber growth has scaled new highs, aggressive pricing due to intense competition would drag revenue and margins,” says a preview report issued by Motilal Oswal Securities. Analysts feel that tariff cuts in the third quarter led by Tata Docomo and Reliance Communications (RCOM) could have reduced per minute revenue by as much as 12% sequentially and 22% from the year ago. Brokerage house IIFL pegs the average per minute revenue at 49 paisa for the quarter. Lower tariffs and per second billing plans may have a limited impact on the top line, thanks to continued momentum in subscriber additions. However, these would significantly impact margins. This is because fixed costs such as network charges and selling and administrative costs would not follow the sharp drop in per user revenue (ARPU). “ARPU drop of 9-14 % sequentially is estimated to translate into 2-4 % decline in wireless revenue. Wireless margins are likely to decline sequentially by 70-420 basis points,” mentions a report by IDFC-SSKI.
