My View On “Behind Afghan War Debate, a Battle of Two Books Rages”

Actually, the strategic objective ascribed to Obama in the article is the correct way for any President to evaluate a military strategy. The rub comes when trying to decide what course-of-action to take. In fact both President Bush and now President Obama have defined the same strategic objective. The question is whether or not nation building, the Bush administration approach, is the right way to go. And that decision is inextricable linked Read More...

My Analysis On “Study Asks: Who Has an Easier Way to the Top?”

Given the stark reality of the paucity of women at top levels in Fortune 500 companies, it is disturbing that a majority of men, and even a third of women, believe that there is full parity of opportunity for advancement. This perception will lead organizations to be less vigilant in their efforts to bring about change that ensures unfettered opportunities for women to advance to management vs. leadership roles. And, as often happens, Read More...

Commentary On “H1N1 Inspires a Boom in Alternative Flu Treatments”

Roy, you have written an insightful and realistic post. In fact, it is our immune systems that have kept us going for millions of years. I have not been checking on my vitamin D levels, but get lots of sunshine throughout the year here in Colorado. Since we got a German Shepherd puppy three months ago, I have lost about 9 pounds from walking and exercising him several times a day. We start the day with a 20 minute walk. This is good for Read More...

Opinion On “An American Gun in Mexico”

Here we go again complaining about guns, and a border problem our President has told us in the last few weeks he has already solved. I guess a lot of you are forgetting about the 1,200 they sent down to cover thousands of miles of borders and what about those Signs they put up, case closed. To solve this gun problem a nice gesture would be for the one's that want control or ban them, simply walk down to section like the 8 block area in Baltimore Read More...

Analysis On “Slump Removes Hard Hats’ Ladder to Prosperity”

In the 60s and 70s and 80s, college educated workers prided themselves on getting an education, landing a job and having a good middle class salary. Today you will likely find plenty of college educated workers on the unemployment line along with workers who have high school education or less. So unless you are at the pinacle of the income bracket, where is the real benefit in having a degree? Don't get me wrong, having a college education Read More...

A Response To “Entrepreneurs Question Value of Social Media”

Interesting article. I too met Dave AvRutick on Twitter. My recent role as Operations Manager for Wausau Whitewater made it a natural connection. Dave is a master at building relationships on Twitter and he does it the right way, by being personable, caring, and fun. Social media marketing strategy examples is different than traditional marketing in that the customer can speak to the company and be interactive. All marketing has limitations Read More...

Opinion On “Is Facebook Worth $100 Billion?”

Google's business email etiquette, GMAIL, was hacked pretty hard in 2010 by Russia and/or China. I had a gmail as a 3rd string email address, and never used it except I sent like 3 emails from it to my other accounts. Anyways, in the Gmail Hack of 2010, my gmail was logged into from an IP from Russia (theres a handy link on Gmail that shows the last 10 IP addresses to access your account) and some random spam messages were sent from my gmail Read More...

My Take On “U.S. Unemployment: A Historical View”

I have a few questions for economists...Has any one done studies that correlate: 1). economic growth with job growth; 2).Productivity growth with job growth/decline; 3). Corporate earnings growth correlated with productivity in the workplace and job growth/decline. Had productivity remained at 1950s levels, and had economic output grown as at (current April 2010) level, what would the growth in jobs needed to have been to achieve such growth Read More...

Views On “China Starts Aircraft Carrier Sea Trial”

Aircraft carriers were timely in 1940s. Now it's only the big target in case of the serious war conflict. One anti-ship cruise missile with nuclear load launched from a submarine is enough to destroy an aircraft carrier together with its group. Now aircraft carriers can be used fearlessly only for intimidation of the natives in third countries armed with spears that the USA do with relative success. Absence or small quantity of aircraft carriers Read More...

A Commentary On “Climb Every Mountain (But Train Hard First)”

I am an Andi need help losing weightnista who climbs 6,000+ meter mountains in, obviously, South America. For all climbers I know, weight reduction is practically a mania, so much so, that it is synonymous with safety. When I first read that this gentleman carries a 75 pound pack, I was of course assuming that he was referring just to long approaches. After reading about the types of food he carries, such as a whole chicken and pizzas, I Read More...
