MSF/MBA in U.S Universities
I have compiled a list of the best US universities that offer MSF/MBA programs. The duration of MSF(ms in finance) is short and it strictly focuses on finance and financial markets while an MBA, by contrast, is more diverse, covering general aspects of not dealt with in the MSF - such as human resource management and operations management. Moreover the MBA program is very expensive when compared to MSF.I am sure that this list along with the application deadlines and the exam requirements will certainly prove beneficial to the 2009 applicants.

Best Internet Shopping Sites in India
I reckon that the internet shopping has gained a lot of momentum in the past few years. A recent online survey on internet shopping habits by Nielsen revealed that about 78% of the Indian respondents (those having internet access) have used the internet to make a purchase while more than 55% of the respondents have made at least one online purchase in the past one month… As many as 73 per cent Indians have purchased airline tickets/reservations in the past three months, this percentage being the highest for any country in Asia Pacific. Globally, travel is the fourth most popular shopping category on the web. .It has also been found that about 84% of the Indians prefer credit cards as the mode of payment option over other alternate options…. For Indians, other popular items for Internet shopping include books (46 per cent), electronic equipment (29 per cent), tours and hotel reservations (24 per cent), videos/DVDs/games (23 per cent), event tickets (23 per cent), clothing/accessories/shoes (21 per cent), and music (20 per cent).So most of the people prefer buying books online. There are a number of shopping sites but it difficult for a layman to choose which one is the best. Here you will find the best shopping sites for various items…
