With all due respect Mr. Gay, are you out of your mind? May I ask, what are you smoking? You have to be kidding me. The Lions and Bills in the Super Bowl? It would make for a good fantasy or bedtime story for some little kids, but really now, you can't be serious. I have been a fan of the Lion's for the last 50 years, and I can guarantee you that all this hype and praise that everyone seems to be giving the Lions are from Read More...

So, Mr business function owner, can you explain to me how your decisions to hire people or not are based on your personal wealth and not on whether you actually need employees to fill a function. What, do you pay people to just sit around all day even though you don't need them? Can you also explain to me how a tax increase will make gas prices and grocery bills go up, I was under the impression that the prices of those Read More...

Reply to Ethan Kohl regarding why Chinese value a US passport. This was the case in Taiwan in the 70s and 80s. Around 1989, more Taiwan folks started to return than wanted to stay in the US. We are starting a business from home to see the same trend in China. Take a flight to Beijing and notice the number of Chinese with American passports who are moving to China....China is becoming the land of opportunity. There is an Read More...

I am not sure what you mean by more government but since less government would have put us right in the same place, how about the safeguards in the way of regulations and standards actually be enforced? If Mineral Management had been doing its job, this might not have happened. The fact that nothing was done when it was discovered during the Bush years that MMS staff/management and the oil industry were in bed (literally) Read More...

Keep in mind that ESPN3 carries most college football and basketball thinking games and a digital antenna will pick up the games on the broadcast networks (FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS). NBA, MLB, and NHL can all be gotten on Apple TV. I haven't cut the cable yet but I've been deliberately watching sports off of cable to see if it works - it's very unusual that I have to go back to regular TV to watch something. (Pretty much only Read More...

This goes to the heart and the loose construction of the euro. I remember when the ECB was created. The interpersonal conflict was between the German and French view of its purpose. Germany wanted an independent central bank protecting the euro and preventing inflation. The French wanted an institution more adapted to European politicians. The solution was that a German would start at the top and then being succeeded by Read More...

I dis he the oneagree with the approach of deregulating the practice of law. In fact, I wonder how many Indian firms are greasing these palms trying to get the U.S. to wholesale transfer the entire judicial system offshore? Given that top firms now ship even legal research offshore says alot about the state of the practice of law. Rather than open up a time honored profession to even more offshoring, perhaps the best approach Read More...

Absolutely correct and there will never be resilient complete parity until everyone understands this. That said, I concur that there's been inadequate career development but I don't think it should all be laid at the feet of employers. Societal stereotypes as well as women's own self-limiting behaviors are probably the more profound road blocks and women must take the responsibility on themselves to shore up the skills Read More...

I think this could ultimately prove a positive trend as video interviews can dramatically reduce travel costs tips for interviews both hiring companies and job candidates. It also allows companies to tap a wider range of job seekers over greater geographical distances. I admit I still like to meet my candidates in person as I feel that I get a different vibe from them than I would on camera. Plus, online interviews could Read More...

So the definition of an entrepreneur is now that you have to start with nothing? Please - If that is the case Branson might not qualify either! You do not have to be Donald Trump to have a strong personal brand assessment, it is much more about being clear on your brand and communicating it effectively to the people who need to know about you. Trump does this and is a good example of a personal brand because he follows Read More...
