Murthy and six friends founded Infosys in 1981 with $250 in start-up capital. The company's early years were arduous. In the 1980s, Murthy recalls, it took a year to get a telephone line, and a dozen trips to New Delhi to get permission to import a single computer. But the firm quickly established a reputation as a reliable partner for American and European businesses looking to contract out software-programming work. That first-mover advantage has paid off. Infosys had $1.06 billion in revenues last year and expects that figure to rise as much as 40% this year...
What's the biblical import of, say, Spider-Man? "Peter Parker gives us all a chance to be heroic," says Erwin McManus, pastor of Mosaic, a Baptist-affiliated church in Los Angeles. "The problem is, we keep looking for radioactive spiders, but really it's God who changes us." What's the big idea behind The Village, according to the website movieministry.com "Perfect love drives out fear." Behind The Notebook? "God can step in where science cannot." And, gulp, Anchorman? "What is love?" If your minister floated those notions recently, it may be because movieministry.com provides homilies for Sunday sermons...
Originally enacted in 1994 for a period of 10 years, the ban prohibits the manufacture or import of military-style semi-automatic assault weapons. Between 1988 and 1991, when these guns were legal, assault weapons were eight times more likely to be used in crimes than other types of guns. By 2002, crimes attributed to assault weapons declined 66 percent since the ban’s inception. The legislation has been a success. Should the sun set on the ban on Sept. 13, Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security Tom Ridge ’67 may have to pull...
According to a copy of the report obtained by TIME, well-connected companies won import licenses for 420,000 tons of Egyptian cement from last September to February, but only 33,000 tons reached the Palestinian market. The rest, the report charges, went to an Israeli company in Haifa. The report doesn't say how much of about $6 million in profits went to P.A. officials and their connections, but it does accuse several companies, including some owned by the family of Civil Affairs Minister Jamil Tarifi, of profiting from the deal. Tarifi did not return calls requesting comment. Arafat...
...reinstate this year's across-the-board deadline. The law, he says, "enables Americans to perform a simple but significant act of patriotism every time they visit the grocery store." On the other side, Representative Charles Stenholm, a Democrat from Texas, mindful of Lone Star State feedlots that import Mexican cows, is co-sponsoring legislation to jettison mandatory labeling in favor of a voluntary system. That bill is backed by the four processors--Tyson Foods, Swift & Co., Cargill and National Beef Packing Co.--that control 81% of the nation's cattle market. They argue that foreign governments could retaliate...
