The Arena - Politico's daily debate with policymakers and opinion shapers Politico.com: "the last 14 days, have shown us how desperately the country needs real oversight and responsible regulation of the financial markets -- the kind of oversight and regulation that has been altogether missing for the past eight years....And the reality is Senator McCain may have just made his biggest error of the presidential campaign"

What’s Money Got to Do With It? | Small Business Trends

What’s Money Got to Do With It? Small Business Trends: "seemingly successful entrepreneur has stumbled mightily when it comes to the making money part of the deal.
I don’t know about your upbringing, but I do know that entire generations of adults were taught by well-intentioned people who had the idea that money, or making money or, certainly making lots of money, was somehow a bad thing.
And, even though that’s one of the significant reasons for opening up shop, the majority of small business owners I encounter are hobbled by this deep-seated belief.
In my experience this shows up most frequently in the way they conduct the financial affairs in the business. Now, I’m a marketing guy, remember"

The Writers' Cafe

The Writers' Cafe: "Today too many of us live life like the flock. There is no sharing in the flock, and constant pushing and shoving. From the little research I have already done on Chekhov, he was greatly concerned about the rights of man, as mentioned in The Seagull.
My personal belief is that there is no shortage of wealth in this nation, as well as in the world. Political theorists would have us believe that the economy of our country has taken a major downturn simply because perhaps a handful of the wealthiest have lost a few poorly placed bets on the great economic roulette wheel of “high tech stocks”

In The Beginning

In The Beginning: "As a Bal Tshuva, or BT (some who came to be observant of Jewish halacha at some point other than birth), I feel that I have the opportunity to learn so much from the people in the frum community in which I live. However since so many people are so much more learned then I, there is relatively little opportunity for me to actually teach someone Torah ideas which I am attempting to master. One of the ways I have found to actually master new information is to express it either verbally or in writing.

Internet writing, is it safe?

There were two drafts preceeding this one which were to be published but then somehow got lost prior to being published.

So here it is. My site provided unique original content. When one placed the words "Seagull Chekhov " in any search emgine, my site published September 2001 was within the top three to six listings. For some reason, although this was not exactly money in the bank, I did get a small dgree of satisfaction from this seemingly unimportant distinction.

I guess maybe this could partly expalin why Tripod/Lycos never quite became a household name.
