Services and non-profits (well, HP). Not an impressive or inspiring list by any means. Waiting for that turnaround....Meanwhile kids, how about an MBA or a PhD?? Keep rolling those loans over and act as a "stimulus" for us in higher ed!

USA! USA! USA! Landon Donovan should rake in the endorsement dollars after his performance in this World Cup. If only this game had been in prime time to expose more in the U.S. to soccer, rather than just folks who were out "sick" at work or watching the video stream on their work PCs!


Great, well-deserved win for the whole U.S. team!

Her perspective lends great credence to the emphasis on shaving costs everywhere - especially in your procurement and supply chain operations - as consumers and business buyers alike are focused on price and value (a trend only compounded by the Great Recession).

Before you say "I'm never buying BP gas again to give money to those British &*#%^%#&%^@&^#*$(@!&$%#U*#*@(&$&$^%......."

Here's a great story about how your great intentions may hurt the "little guy," and not BP or Tony Hayward! See the impact on the corner gas station - especially here in Louisiana, where those famous cost-cutters at BP decided to pull-out of the retail gasoline market, but didn't bother to help the small businesses take down their BP signage.

BP boycotts hurt small station owners the most - WAFB Channel 9, Baton Rouge, LA |

And across the country, even for station owners with BP-supplied gas, they are having to deal with less business and angry customers (or worse, angry passers-by). What do you think about the boycott - have you done so?
