Traditionally, organizational conduct was initially displayed by social norms and education opposed to the more formal business photographs we'd conjure today. The thought of developing and furthering skills and abilities to benefit an organization of people is not new. Most massive organizations More

Remaining Genuine

Most people live their total lives by no means discovering their genuine self. They by no means find the individual they were meant to be, nor do they develop themselves to their best potential. Unfortunately this is much easier stated than achieved, for it takes effort and time to undo programmed habits and methods of living. It's time for us to say our genuine self and live life to our fullest potential. Being authentic means to seek out the More

Most Expensive Watch

-- Featured Comments -- My watches say that I'm stylishly frugal. My most expensive watch costs no more than $100. I'm too tall and clumsy to have expensive watches.There's an entire swath of "forgotten" white people throughout the Appalachians, that span a number of states, that are easily just as poor and marginalized as any Latino voters or inner-city ghetto dwellers. They have the same issues as the more "advertised" groups do, but no one thinks More

Hours In A Year

-- Featured Comments -- This is a nice expose', but, please, what is a gigawatt per hour? There is no such thing. I suppose what O'Grady means is gigawatt-hours per year. In comparison the entire hydro capacity of the U.S. is about 78 gigawatts, which would produce about 580,000 gigawatt-hours in a year depending on water available. Jeff, do the math. At $81K and assuming 40 hrs per week for 2000 regular hours in a year (that's 4 wks holiday/PTO More

The other defendant has already been found guilty and sentenced to death. The brutal, senseless crime occurred in 2007! Four years later and one of the criminal is just going to trial. Over a year ago, in East Brunswick, New Jersey, four 17-year More

Break Even Analysis

-- Featured Comments -- The author of this article, James Hagerty, should follow-up with additional research by comparing these types of apprentice type programs to those offered in Germany. I think there is a lot we can learn from their job training, retraining, and job-subsidized retention programs. Why can Germany have such a good reputation for building world-class products in a high-wage country and prosper. I think the answer may be that we More

New Tax Rates

-- Featured Comments -- This was Laffer's take, and I tend to believe him, as well as the good folks at PIMCO, Baupost, MIT, the Ford Foundation, and a few other still reputable places where they've made investment plans based on poorer future economic prospects. And I know at least one household that will contribute less to the economy in 2011 due to the new tax rates...I'll take Warren Buffett seriously when he offers to apply his oh-so-fair More
