by Al Jacobs The fallout from our current economic malaise continues as Christopher Cox voluntarily steps down and out as Chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It had to be, of course, as he became one of the convenient snowflakes on which to blame the financial blizzard. The opening salvo on Chairman Cox dates back to September 18, 2008, when then-presidential-nominee John McCain angrily announced:... 1/29/2009 11:08:03 AM
by Beth Rosenshein About a year ago, I went to a medical conference in Chicago. During a break, a group of us started a discussion about how much the personality of each of our mothers had changed since starting treatment for menopause. Each doctor shared in a different way how nice it was to have their mother's personality back. Some said their mothers didn't notice a difference but they did!

People are more inclined to ask me to do things because they know I'm more likely to say yes when I'm able. Being flexible has also helped me to weather rough relationships.

by Chick Moorman, Tom Haller In 2009 I resolve to stop yelling at my kids. That is precisely the New Year's pledge that Marion Budnick broke the first week of the new year. It wasn't that she didn't have positive intentions. It wasn't that she didn't want to end the yelling. It wasn't even that she wasn't sincere about her goal. All of those were firmly in place. Yet something else was missing. Marion Budnick sincerely wanted... 1/13/2009 9:19:48 PM
