Although this is a great feat for Egypt, I fear how the transition to retirement into democracy will take place. Besides the speculation about the council Mubarak made before leaving office, there are not standards or items set in place to govern the transition and the people. The military is in control for now, but only the future will tell how things play out. Will the military take this chance and overtake power? I highly doubt that the Egyptian people and other democratic states would allow that Read more [...]

Your 'Corporate Jet Set' article of today (June 16, 2011) is a nice follow-up to your own 'JetGreen' article of six years ago (Oct 1, 2005) featuring the same topic; Fay Vincent's op-ed piece (Nov 26, 2008) on federal government officials' use of military jets; and, my letter published by you (Dec 3, 2008) on the use and abuse of corporate parties jets. What goes around comes around; history repeats itself. As chief executives acquire bigger bonuses and more perks, the bragging rights atmosphere Read more [...]

This workplace conflict has been raging for the past 70 years It is time for a new approach to the Israel/Palestinian problem. The only way this conflict will be solved and true peace to be achieved in the region is the complete removal of the squatters in the West Bank and Gaza back to their own countries. The question the World community needs to ask, do we want another Arab country that kills Jews, Christians, Homosexuals, treats women as dogs and anyone who does not succumb to sharia law? Can Read more [...]

John, when I was a grad student, I worked as a security guard standing in the hot sun (we were rarely allowed to sit down) to pay my way. Now, do you really think Alba and Eugenio WANT to work the dirty job seekings they have? That if they could get better pay under better working conditions, that they won't take them? After all, the fastest growing union in the US is the SEIU, whose membership consists heavily of illegal alien janitors seeking better pay and working conditions. And you can bet that Read more [...]

Maybe it;s because there is little money left after paying off student loans off high interest srudent loans offered by the govenment at 8.5% while FED still gives banks 0% interest loans. No wonder the consumer has no money to spend, and as usual the government has it backwards. Now that the government took over the student loan business, and student loan debt is now larger than credit card debt, why not give us tax payers a break instead of the irresponsible banks who now won't lend us our money Read more [...]

Meeting schedules can be posted and allow members to add or amend as the situation changes, and excell models modified by the team on the same basis. I see no great ideas being possed by these new features just more useless bells and whistles that keep Read more [...]

Have you been in the DC area? The economy in that area is doing very well. It is only the rest of the nation that is suffering, despite the increase in government employment. Where the effects of the federal stimulus is most evident, Blinders would appear to be correct. Government find jobs in your area in the DC area, because of the growth of the federal government, makes that area a very comfortable place to live. Heck, if only government is employing, then we should all be getting government jobs. Read more [...]

This analysis is predicated on the Nielsen data reporting that 25 million more people are on social networks and community websites than there are people using email. While it might be true that social web activities are eating into time people spend with email (personally, not professionally), and it also might be true that people's preference for communication skills activities technology and platform is changing, the article overlooks a simple fact: You can't sign up to a social network without Read more [...]
