Autodesk's COO to take over as CEO
- By Dibya Sarkar
- Jan 17, 2006
Carol Bartz, who has led software maker Autodesk for the past 14 years, will be stepping down, clearing the way for the company’s chief operating officer, Carl Bass, to take over as president and chief executive officer, effective May 1.
Bass, who has been with the company for the past decade, has also been appointed to the San Rafael, Calif.-based company’s expanded board of directors. Bartz will become the first executive chairman of the board.
During a telephone press conference this morning, Bass said the company’s business priorities across all industry sectors will remain the same after the change. He said the company will also continue to build on its 3-D technology and services.
Bass also said that during the past year, the company has been focusing more on the government sector, especially on homeland security and emergency management. The new emphasis comes because the company feels the market is underserved at the federal, state, local and international levels, he added.
Bartz said she wants to spend more time with her family but will continue to work with the company, focusing on “creating even stronger relationships of customers, partners and investors and emerging markets in China, India and Eastern Europe.”
She called the leadership transition a natural evolution.
“I also think that Carl is just ready,” she said. “Our board took their duty of succession more seriously and has done a better job than most boards in the corporate world.”
Autodesk, which was founded in 1982, develops computer-aided design, mapping and other software for the manufacturing, government, building and entertainment sectors, among others. It has nearly 4,000 employees worldwide and generates about $1.5 billion in revenue annually.

There are so many people who are even in the United States that don’t know what they can do to make their lives better. These minorities often struggle to be able to get the help that they need and it is something that has made things harder on them.
It is also something that has allowed people to try different things since they are doing more to make their lives better. Out of all of the things that Lacey and Larkin have done in different situations, they know that their commitment to the people who they work with is going to be the best thing possible for them.
Ever since Mike Lacey and Jim Larkin first started working as journalists, they knew that they would do things differently. They wanted to bring change to the industry and they also wanted to show people that they could have everything they wanted even if they were a minority.
This was the first time that many of these people had heard that and Lacey and Larkin gave them hope that they had never known about before in their lives. It was something that satisfied all of the issues that they had in the past and something that showed people what they could do to make their lives better.
For Lacey and Larkin to try different things, they had to be sure that they were getting more from the journalism aspect of things. They also had to be sure that people were going to use their advice in the right way. It was hard to try and make a difference when they were in a passive position because there was not much that they could do from the journalism perspective of things to make it better for them to try different things.
Even when Lacey and Larkin first started the Frontera Fund, they still struggled sometimes with how they would be able to help people out. These struggles gave them the motivation and the help that they needed to be able to make their lives better and it was something that changed a lot of the way that things were going.
They knew that all people could benefit from their help and that they would be able to enjoy the experiences that they had in those situations. For Lacey and Larkin to do all of this, they had to make sure that their lives would be better and that they would be getting more from the situations that they were in.
Lacey and Larkin tried their best to show people that they could do more than what they had in the past. They also tried to ensure that things would grow for them so that they would be making the most out of the situations that they were in.
As long as Lacey and Larkin were doing different things to help the industry and the people who were suffering, they knew that everything would get better and they could continue to help people in the way that they originally wanted to.

Page said he doesn’t “believe” Google+ will be a “perfect” social network and that the social network is “probably a lot more important than we ever imagined.”
“I don’t think it’s a superior version,” he said.
“We don’t need all the bells and whistles we think they’re going to be, and I don’t want to be the one who says ‘yes, we need this.’
I don?t believe we do.
We have no plans at this time to have it be better.”
In an interview with Bloomberg, Page said that while the company is working on “enhancing” its social network, the company doesn’t have “anything in the pipeline” that would give it “superpowers” that other social networks have.
“Google+ is really important, and it’s not the kind of thing that we’ve focused on doing on a lot of the features that we have on the social side,” he told Bloomberg.
“Google+ does more than Facebook, so I don?”t want to get all worked up about that.
I just don?m not really that interested in all that stuff.
I don ?t want people to think, ‘oh, Google+ is super great because it has so many features.’
Google is also working on its own standalone social network called Google+ that was launched in 2010 and has gained popularity among many of the top Internet companies.
The social network isn?

With the Municipal Corporation of Delhi already having suspended four officials in connection with the Lalita Park building collapse case, Delhi BJP president Vijender Gupta has demanded that the Delhi Government also act properly in the matter by punishing those in the Delhi Jal Board who were responsible for water-logging in the area that led to the collapse.
Mr. Gupta said the fifth floor of the building came up in 2005 when the Congress was in power in the MCD. ``Still the BJP-ruled MCD has acted sternly against those responsible for the collapse and has not made a political issue out of it. But he lamented that the Delhi Government has reneged on its promise of ordering a judicial probe into the matter since it feared that its own role would also stand grossly exposed.”
``The day following the collapse, Delhi Finance Minister A.K. Walia had admitted that the building collapsed because there was water-logging in the basement. Dr. Walia had himself stated that the DJB is responsible for the Lalita Park incident. Since Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is chairperson of the Jal Board, we want to know what are the reasons because of which no action has been taken against the officials of the DJB responsible for the incident,’’ the BJP leader said.


The head of Ahmad Shah Massoud Foundation Ahmad Wali Massoud on Monday declared his support to Ata Mohammad Noor regarding the ongoing controversies surrounding the Balkh province political leadership.

He also accused the government leaders for hatching conspiracies to eliminate their political rivals and said the government leaders have failed to implement the unity government political pact.
Massoud also added that the government has no intention to organize the upcoming elections on time and warned that the ongoing political deadlock will negatively impact the unity of the people.
Tensions remain high between Jamiat-e-Islami and the government after President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani approved the resignation of Ata Mohammad Noor as the Balkh governor almost a month ago.
Noor says he had submitted his resignation as a guarantee to the government that he will step down if the demands of Jamiat-e-Islami are met by the government.
However, he says the government has approved his resignation as negotiations were underway insisting that none of the conditions and demands of the party have been met.

The Conservative majority will boost the outsourcing industry, according to The National Outsourcing Association.
Kerry Hallard, CEO of the NOA believes that the industry was weary of a Labour government and last week’s result will have a positive impact on confidence.
“ISG’s first Outsourcing Index of this year saw sourcing in the UK slow, most likely due to uncertainty surrounding the election and lack of faith in a potential Labour government,” Hallard said.
“Service providers will now feel more secure – spending on public sector outsourcing almost doubled to £120bn under the coalition, and that’s a trend we expect to continue over the next five years.”
Hallard said that the NOA expected to see ‘a plethora’ of public and private outsourcing deals over the coming months, thanks to the stability offered by a majority government.
Speaking of the government’s manifesto pledge to allocate one-third of central Government procurement to SMEs, Hallard said that it was vital that the Tories kept their word. “David Cameron must keep that promise – the coalition ‘supposedly’ met its 25 per cent target last term, and raising it to 33 per cent would provide a great and much-needed boost for the UK’s smaller service providers,” she said.

He said that the government will move forward through a package agreement including the formation of the provincial government and said that the final decision on the leadership of the provincial government has not been taken yet.
As there is a need to strike a balance between the coalition parties, Minister Khadka clarified that Nepali Congress will be flexible regarding the leadership of provincial governments.
On a different note, Minister Khadka also informed that the government will discuss issues about resolving the issue of Nepal’s territory as per the map of Nepal.
Similarly, Minister Khadka said that the government would not go for early elections without the consent of the parties represented in the government. He said that if the coalition partners reach an agreement, they can go for early elections.

In an interview with British media outlet, said terrorism will rise in the country in the next two months. However, he added that Pakistan had a good system to fight terrorists and a robust intelligence network using which terrorist activities would be dealt with.

The minister elaborated that the group wanted the release of their prisoners who were serving sentences in the country. He said the release of such “dangerous” personnel was impossible.

Addressing a press conference along with other members of the economic team at the launch of the Economic Survey on Thursday, Dar maintained that the GDP growth rate of 0.29 percent is a realistic achievement on the face of flood and global commodity prices’ increase and other factors and could not have been more than this. Dar described the external account as the biggest challenge.
He added that the Economic Survey highlights key economic indicators, development policies, strategies as well as trends in the sectoral success of the economy.
When asked about what is the government’s Plan-B, he said that the country has assets of trillions of dollars and added whether the programme is completed or not, it would end in June 2023.
However, he hurriedly added that completing the 9th review is important as its completion would open inflows of the WB “RISE project” and the AIDB programme.
Dar said that the budget numbers have been shared with the Fund and there is nothing in the budget that could be objectionable as fiscal deficit is being reduced and growth and revenue are being increased.
When asked whether he would go into negotiation with the Fund for the next programme after June 2023, he said that it will be the prerogative of the government that comes to office after winning the election. When asked the government is left with only two months in office but is presenting the budget for the entire fiscal year, Dar’s response was that it is the constitutional responsibility of the government to present the budget for the entire fiscal year.
The finance minister said that some global negative indicators also played a role in this economic impasse, including a decline in the global GDP growth rate and global inflation. Dar said that the growth rate of world trade also decreased and Pakistan being part of the global village was also affected by it.
He said that a policy difference between him and the IMF does not make a difference and everyone must respect it. The finance minister said that political instability has been one of the major factorsof the economic impasse besides a negative global GDP growth rate and a surge in global inflation.
The minister said that the government’s objective is to restore macroeconomic stability and the country has been put on the path of development of fiscal year 2017 level and claimed the real effective exchange rate is Rs244 and not Rs285. He said that difference of Rs45 was consequent to the uproar about the IMF programme, negative market perception as well as low foreign exchange reserves and some “hidden hands” involved.
He also claimed of arresting the declining trend of the economy and now it would be put on the path of development.
The finance minister said that the circular debt of the energy sector after an increase of Rs129 billion per annum accumulated to Rs1,148 billion during 2018 and subsequently, with an increase of Rs330 billion in the following three years touched Rs2,467 billion.
He said that public debt from 63.7 percent of GDP in 2018 was increased to 73.9 percent of the GDP, reflecting an increase of around 10 percent. As a result, he maintained that a major chunk of revenue collection is being spent on interest payments.
He added that the interest payment in 2017 was less than Rs1,800 billion. He said that an increase in debt was unsustainable and what was more damaging was that the government has reversed sovereign commitments after sensing success in the vote of no confidence in the Parliament.
He said flood was another factor for the dismal economic performance during the current fiscal year as floods caused economic and infrastructure loss of $30 billion to the county.
He said that the government IMF programme should have been completed in 2022 but was not done because of the failure of the previous government to honour commitments. He said that the government has paid a heavy political cost for the revival of the IMF programme and implemented painful and difficult economic reforms in the power and gas sectors besides the fiscal side. He said that the government has taken steps to comply with the conditions of the IMF.
Dar added that the government has reduced $5.5 billion commercial debt and one billion dollar bonds and is taking measures to stop smuggling of wheat, fertiliser and dollar to the neighbouring country.
Dar said that average core inflation is 18 percent while adding that a number of factors have been responsible for higher inflation including global supply chain disruption etc.
The finance minister said that the FBR revenue collection number of May end indicates 16.1 percent increase in revenue collection and against the target of 7,00,000, 9,12,392 new taxpayers have been brought into the tax net. He said remittance and exports have declined by 13 percent and 12.1 percent respectively, whereas, imports have contracted by 29.2 percent.
He said that going forward GDP target is 3.5 percent and to achieve this, incentives for agriculture, industry, and IT exports would be announced today (Friday) in the budget for the next fiscal year. He said that the 5Es – exports, equity, environment, e-Pakistan, and energy would be pursued to achieve development.

The Uganda Government chief whip Justine Kasule Lumumba has said that the National Resistance Movement members of Parliament will tomorrow kick off a constituency to constituency campaign to market the party.
While the caucus that passed the resolution said the campaign would be to sell President Yoweri Museveni as the sole candidate for the 2016 elections, Lumumba said the campaign will be about service delivery.
Lumumba told journalists that the campaign is to explain to the electorate what government has been able to achieve and what it is still working on adding that they also want to listen to people’s views and challenges.
She adds that the MPs will also explain what parliament has so far done and what is still pending and to enhance party discipline and cohesion. When the journalists insisted that they have heard from MPs that the campaign is solely about Museveni’s sole candidature, Lumumba admitted faintly that it is part of the campaign.
She said that they will explain to the people why they passed a resolution to have Museveni as the only candidate in 2016 as the NRM caucus. When asked where the funds for these activities will come from, deputy chairperson of the caucus David Bahati said that the money will come from the party.
He said that NRM never uses state funds for its party activities adding that the party has its own funds since members contribute monthly and that MPs contribute a minimum of 150,000 shillings every month. Lumumba said that the MPs will be carrying out these activities from Friday to Monday so that they do not interfere with the activities of parliament.
The planned campaign will kick off despite the party’s Central Executive Committee’s disagreement that the action will not be good for the party as it was seen to suppress internal democracy. But Lumumba says the resolution hadn’t been taken to CEC for approval.

Lucknow, December 20 (KMS) The Samajwadi Party President, Akhilesh Yadav has said that phones of his party leaders were tapped by Yogi Govt and the “Chief Minister listens to the recordings every evening”.
Akhilesh Yadav in press conference in Lucknow said that four of his close associates were raided by Income Tax officials in Uttar Pradesh and these raids were an indication that the BJP was going to lose the election.
He said that all landline numbers of his office were also being tapped by the BJP Yogi government. He said that Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath was “unupoyogi” (unsuitable/useless) – a rejoinder to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement in which he had said that ‘UPYogi’ is equal to ‘upyogi’ (suitable).
Akhilesh further said that the tactics of the BJP will increase as the elections get closer.
“Abhi to Income Tax Department aaya hai, Enforcement Directorate aayega, CBI aayega (Right now, now the tax department has come… the Enforcement Directorate will and the CBI will join soon). ut the cycle (the Samajwadi Party’s poll symbol) will not stop,” Akhilesh added.

LAHORE, May 26 (APP):Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz on Thursday said that cases should be registered against the PTI leadership over martyrdom of a police constable, recovery of weapons from party leader and incurring loss to the state properties.
Talking to the media after meeting the family of the martyred police constable here, she alleged that the PTI chairman kept his sons safe in London but deprived these five children of their father by killing him.
Maryam said that the families of the martyred and injured soldiers would be compensated and the government would take care of them.
She reiterated that the government should register a case against Imran Khan because of whom two boys lost their lives during the march while a constable lost his life in the line of duty.
Maryam said the nation rejected Imran Khan and said “absolutely not” to him.
Talking about Imran Khan’s six-day ultimatum to the government to announce a date for the elections, Maryam said that the move was solely to hide his “guilt” as he could not even mobilise 20,000 people for his march despite promising to bring two million people out.
The PML-N Vice President alleged that the nation was well aware of the fact that Imran Khan’s agenda was to spread anarchy in the country.
To a question regarding the government’s talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Maryam said that the country was facing worst economic circumstances because of the agreement signed between PTI and the IMF.
She said that the PTI government had nothing substantial to highlight regarding their four year performance as they did nothing for the welfare of the masses.

New Delhi, Aug 6, 2019 –
Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday dared the Congress to make its stand clear on the Kashmir issue and asserted that government leaders were ready to sacrifice their lives for the state.
He read out the article of the Constitution to state that Jammu and Kashmir (including Pakistan-occupied Kashmir) was an integral part of India.
After moving the resolution and bills in the Lok Sabha for consideration and passing, Shah said that the issue was not political and legislation was based on constitutional and legal provisions.
While the resolution pertains to a Presidential order to revoke special status given to Jammu and Kashmir, the Jammu and Kashmir Reorganisation Bill 2019 provides for bifurcating the state into two Union territories.
The Presidential order has repealed the provisions under Article 370 that allows the state to have its own Constitution and power to make laws other than those related to foreign affairs, defence and communications.
The resolutions and the bills have been already passed by the Upper House. (Agency)


(MENAFN) The streets of downtown Beirut were filled with hundreds of protesters on Wednesday, as Lebanon's economic crisis continues to worsen. The country's currency has collapsed, posing a significant challenge for a government already struggling with years of instability. The protesters gathered to demand action from the government, and some attempted to storm the headquarters of the ruling administration. Security forces responded by firing tear gas to disperse the demonstrators.
Videos shared on social media showed protesters trying to break through the fence around the government building and throwing stones at the security forces. As tear gas filled the air, some protesters ran away from the scene. The situation was chaotic, and there were reports of injuries and arrests, although the Lebanese authorities did not release any official information about these incidents.
The protests were a result of the worsening economic situation in Lebanon, which has left many people struggling to make ends meet. Wadih Al-Asmar, the president of the EuroMed Rights group, spoke to CBS News about the situation, saying that "people are trying to express their voices because nobody is listening to them." He added that the majority of Lebanese citizens are finding it difficult to survive.
Lebanon has been grappling with a severe economic crisis for some time, with soaring inflation, high unemployment rates, and a plummeting currency. The situation has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has further strained the country's already fragile economy. The Lebanese government has been accused of mismanagement and corruption, and many citizens are frustrated with the lack of action taken to address the crisis.
The protests in Beirut are a reflection of the widespread anger and frustration felt by many Lebanese citizens. They are demanding that the government takes concrete steps to address the economic crisis and improve their living conditions. However, the situation remains tense, and it is unclear what the government's response will be to these protests.

You can have a revolution wherever you like, except in a government office even were the world to come to an end, you’d have to destroy the universe first and then government offices.
And we can celebrate when we have a government that has earned back the trust of the people it serves… when we have a government that honors our Constitution and stands up for the values that have made America, America: economic freedom, individual liberty, and personal responsibility.
It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried.
It’s opportunity. It’s opportunity, not a check from government – it’s opportunity that has always driven America and defined us as Americans.

It’s just about time for the Holidays which means many people are stressing out about what they still need to do. With the new year coming soon many are also thinking about what they want to do in 2006.
I’m sure many people especially those with Attention Deficit Disorder probably haven’t stopped to think about what they have done. Why not stop for a moment and think about the things that have been accomplished in 2005. Maybe even take it a step further and write those things down.
