I’m so bored of the newspapers (and blogs) being continually full of rumours/tips/gossip/whispers and just general crap being talked about the next Shadow Cabinet reshuffle.
Can these journalists please get some real stories or shut the fuck up? Especially since they all seem to revolve around two main points: Ken Clarke coming in and back and [...]
Despite all the current political chaos in Thailand, the annual reshuffle of the administrative posts was done as usual effective October 1st, the start of the new fiscal year. So far I only know that the governor of Chanthaburi, Prajuck Suvarnapakdee (ประจักษ์ สุวรรณภักดี), was reassigned to Nakhon Ratchasima, as that was changed in Wikipedia just recently.
Gordon Brown has reshuffled his front bench, as he had to do after losing Ruth Kelly [you can see his first Cabinet here]. It has been described as an “economic war cabinet” to deal with the current economic situation, but seems like really very little important change - after all Alistair Darling remains as Chancellor.

When Firefox first introduced this particular feature on its tabs, I wished Windows also has the same feature. I hope this feature will be included in Vista; apparently it is not there. Searching for some kind of small application that might help be to reshuffle the taskbar, return me with promising websites, unfortunately I need [...]

Airports of Thailand's new board of directors is set to back an overhaul of the partly state-owned company's top management to boost profitability and prepare for Suvarnabhumi Airport's second-phase development. The revamp, due next month, will allow AOT's president Chana U-sathaporn to appoint su
The dim role of the State Securities Commission (SSC) in rescuing the stock market has raised a question about whether the current model of SSC is suitable to the new circumstances.
In recent days, with the stock market in a corner, SSC only did one thing: make suggestions and proposals. It was because SSC did not...

I’ve done a bit of reshuffling on the blog, I’ve messed around with some of the code (tidying it up), added an advertising space (for more see here), added new bits and pieces and removed some redundant ones. I’ve been considering making a logo, but I haven’t the time right now, so I’ll probably get around to it during Christmas.
What do ye think of my quicky advertise here button? Not bad for a few minutes in Photoshop (for someone who only knows a bit more than the basics!)
Edit: Robert pointed out that the comment box was near on impossible to see, I’ve since edited the stylesheet to resolve this. Thanks Robert.
Indonesia's War on Corruption:What matters the most to the majority of Indonesians is a country free of corruption. Ranked among the world's most corrupt countries, Indonesia surely needs much stronger anti-graft measures to deal with even half of its problems. The sense of urgency is in the air that everywhere one goes in Indonesia people talk about ways of eradicating corruption in the country. In most cases, they want swift action that will curb power abuses and drag perpetrators to long overdue trial.Many Indonesians share the belief that they deserve to be prosperous given the country's talented human resource, immense natural resources and the size of territory, not to mention the numerous islands that are potential for world-class tourism. Alas! Affluence proves to be much more elusive than it has been popularly imagined. Eradication of graft and corruption in the country will then provide a firm foundation to a better life.Politically, the reshuffle might boost the administr
"Admittedly, it is the president`s prerogative to determine the lineup of his cabinet but he should have exercised it by taking into account political parties` support," chief of the party`s executive board Emron Pangkapi said here Monday.In the reshuffled cabinet, President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono appointed Sofyan Djalil as state enterprises minister replacing Sugiarto and Muhamad Lukman Edy as minister of accelerated development of disadvantaged regions succeeding Syafullah Yusuf. Both Sugiarto and Syaifullah are PPP cadres.
While the nation is eagerly waiting for Indonesian president Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to announce his limited cabinet shuffle, a no less important change could also be made in the new future -- some alterations to the Indonesian Military (TNI) leadership. Why is it no less important? The post of TNI chief is indeed a strategic one, although administratively the military is under the defense ministry. But politically the president has final say, upon receiving the recommendation of the House of Representatives, on who will be the next TNI chief.And if that is really the case, the most likely candidate for the post is current Army Chief of Staff Gen. Djoko Santoso, a 1975 graduate of the Military Academy.Among the candidates widely tipped to replace Santoso are the current chief of the Army's Strategic Reserves Command (Kostrad), Lt. Gen. Erwin Sudjono, a brother-in-law of President Yudhoyono and a 1975 graduate of the Military Academy, and incumbent Secretary General of the Defense Min

Metrotvnews.com, Bogor: Situasi di sekitar kediaman pribadi Presiden Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono di Puri Cikeas, Gunung Putri, Bogor, Jawa Barat, Ahad (6/5) kian ramai. Hal ini masih terkait rencana SBY mereshuffle kabinetnya. Di depan kediaman SBY tampak puluhan wartawan dan kendaraan stasiun televisi yang siap sedia untuk menyiarkan secara langsung jika sewaktu-waktu SBY mengumumkan kabinet barunya. Namun, kemungkinan besar SBY tidak akan mengumumkan kabinet barunya pada hari ini. Sabtu kemarin, SBY telah memanggil beberapa menteri dari Kabinet Indonesia Bersatu antara lain Menteri Komunikasi dan Informasi Sofyan Djalil dan Menteri Perhubungan Hatta Radjasa. Sebelumnya SBY menyatakan reshuffle kali ini tidak akan drastis dan hanya akan melibatkan kementerian yang penting saja. Namun kemarin, telah dipanggil lima nama-nama baru. Mereka yaitu politisi Andi Mattalata, Pelaksana Tugas Jampidsus Hendarman Supanji, Sekjen Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa Lukman Edy, mantan Rektor ITS M. Nuh dan mant
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has asked his ministers to refrain from traveling out of Jakarta these days as he will soon announce the cabinet reshuffle,a spokesman said Thursday. "Starting from today (Thursday), all ministers are asked not to travel to other towns," Andi Mallarangeng, a spokesman for the president, told reporters here.
Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono finally bowed to public pressures to make change in the cabinet members, saying Friday he would launch a "limited reshuffle." "I will announce the limited reshuffle in May or two weeks from now, God willing," the president told reporters after performing the Muslim Friday prayer at his office here. "I hope (the planned reshuffle) will yield positive result -- a more effective government which I lead -- because the challenges facing us ahead are bigger." It was a U-turn move by the Indonesian leader who said Sunday " we cannot have a Cabinet reshuffle once a year." Local media have speculated that Transportation Minister Hatta Radjasa was the most likely to lose his post following a series of deadly transport disasters since 2005. Other possibly targeted ministers included Justice and Human Rights Minister Hamid Awaluddin and State Secretary Yusril Ihza Mahendra who recently were under fire over using government's account to draw the mo
House of Representatives (DPR) Speaker Agung Laksono said on Tuesday the proposed cabinet reshuffle should be carried out as soon as possible so that ministers would not get confused. "It would be better for President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to reshuffle the cabinet as soon as possible," Agung said on the sidelines of an ASEAN Inter-Parliamentary Organization (AIPO) meeting on April 17-19 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. "So, don`t postpone the Cabinet reshuffle any longer because ministers will get confused about whether or not they will be maintained," he said.
Indonesia's president has rejected calls for a cabinet reshuffle following a string of transport disasters and corruption claims.President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono says it's "inappropriate" for political parties to put forwards names and resumes, and send him text messages on the subject.
The chairman of the People`s Consultative Assembly (MPR), Hidayat Nur Wahid, urged President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono here on Monday to confirm whether or not he would reshuffle his cabinet."It would be better for the president to give the confirmation. If he would indeed conduct a reshuffle, just do it, but if he has no such plan, just say it straight away," he said.He said if the president has no such intention, he should say so, so that the present ministers would not be in constant uncertainty. He said if the president would really reshuffle his cabinet he wished it would not be carried out for fear or pressure from certain political parties to accommodate their demands."It must be done solely for improving the government`s performance in serving the interest of the people," he said.
