Many studies have shown money has little to do with how well a person learns. Malcolm Gladwell has written extensively on this. The parents must ask a your child learns each day about their homework, and take an active role in their learning. The reason upper-class children have higher grades has nothing to do with money, and all to do with the culture taught at the upper-class. That is daily discussion with the child regarding Read More...

The current recession and $3+ gas is in the process of shaking out the 'lifestyle' buyers of these types of emotion of vehicles leaving only they types of customers that you mention. Unfortunately, that leave a market segment that is medium to small in size at best. Even more so, these types of vehicles are the most heavily subsidized (financing, cash back, price haggling) of all the products manufactured by GM, ChryCo and Ford. Read More...

What a pollyanna view of the world. From the seller's standpoint this is a very needed and ethical transaction (not opining on the fees). This investor is unhappy that her investment has not panned out as she planned. What if the insured had died the next year? Would we hear her here complaining? I think not. This is the type of investment that should be done with multiple policies so that you are not tied to any single person's Read More...

Change you can believe in as the smoke clears, and the mirrors crack and the ugly dust of reality settles in. Change you can believe in.........as the searing wave of volcanic ash blows through the land and blankets the electorate in the hot searing truth! Change you can believe in as the winter of discontent chills the electorate to the marrow of it's bones.. Now...Americans everywhere are poised and stand ready for accelerated Read More...

Sorry you are on crack. The carriers already understood the value of the smartphone market. Google failed with the Nexxus One. End of story. They failed because the do not have a clue about servicing and supporting a consumer business. They talk a big game but consumer marketing is not their forte and until they kick out the cookie cutter pinhead ivy league techies they will never compete for consumer product lines. The company Read More...

You read too much into my comment, Mr. Jones. I am an Army veteran, former commissioned officer in the Regular Army, and I understand your point. The resume title of the article has been changed, since I first commented. It would seem that someone took to heart my criticism. The original caption or title suggested that the presence of a sniper was a great achievement by the Taliban. It simply takes a weapon, a warrior, and a hiding Read More...

@ Matt I don't think waiting a few more years is enough. Casual observation will confirm that there are how to manage timeo many persons of all ages out there who lack the maturity to manage their own lives, let alone help choose people to manage the government. That being said, messing around with the franchise is a slippery slope. We certainly don't need 16-year-olds voting, as has been suggested in the past; but are you ready Read More...

The cost of living is so high that people would rausing the law of attractionr staying at home receiving benefit. A job in a US factory is not comparable with potentials in home countries so many foreign talents left US immediately after graduation. US is no longer an attraction for the world talent. This along has a short-term impact on our economy today and a long-term impact on our nation's status as a super power. Maybe that Read More...

I'm opposed to abortion. Why this is relevant in this discussion, I fail to see. These are healthy body fat percentage newborns, who will not have sex for many years who deserve the right to decide what to do with their own foreskins. By imposing circumcision on a newborn, you effectively make an alteration to his body, excrutiatingly painfully, and deny him the opportunity to decide for himself. It is a blatant strippage of that Read More...
