Happy Mothers Day!
“A man’s work is from sun to sun, but a mother’s work is never done.”
I saw this quote and immediately thought of my wife. Happy Mothers Day to all Moms!

My name is Scott Gingold and I am the CEO of Powerfeedback I am also a columnist for The Eastern Pennsylvania Business Journal
Great video, but the most important piece comes at the 2:00 minute mark. The statements and beliefs expressed by John Wayne are as important and relevant today as they were back when this was recorded.
“ You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

Big picture
Politicians, economists, television talking heads, as well as the majority of the public is talking about ever-rising gas, food and health care prices.
I get it. The current situation with all of these necessities is devastating to most families across the country and sadly, there seems to be no end to how high these costs will rise. I am however concerned with the lack of discussion of “big picture” issues.
All talk seems to have ceased about improving education in this country so that we can start to compete equally on a global basis. What happened to holding conversations about stemming the rising crime rate in the USA? Has the illegal immigration problem somehow and miraculously resolved itself? How come we have not gotten serious about wasteful and unnecessary government spending?
There are no easy answers ladies and gentlemen, but if we do not move on these and other worthy concerns now, how bright can our future possibly be?
No "holiday" for fuel prices....
“Oil futures blasted to a new record over $122 a barrel Tuesday, gaining momentum as investors bought on a forecast of much higher prices and on any news hinting at supply shortages. Retail gas prices edged lower, but appear poised to rise to new records of their own in coming weeks. A new Goldman Sachs prediction that oil prices could rise to $150 to $200….”If this happens, it won’t matter who wins the Presidential race in November as the result will be devastating to our national economy as well as cripple most of our citizens.
Duh....
“Dr. Davenport says the changes show that time-strapped managers are hungry for easily digestible advice wherever they can find it. Today, the most pressing themes include globalization, motivation and innovation. Traditional business gurus writing “weighty tomes” are in decline, he says.”
“Managers say it’s no coincidence they tap a broad range of thinkers. “The demands on all of us for decision-making have grown exponentially,” says Susan Flygare, a sales-strategy executive at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota who has attended speeches by a Harvard-educated stand-up comic, as well as by Messrs. Gladwell and Hamel. Ms. Flygare says clients ask Blue Cross to help them understand consumer behavior as well as health-plan administration.”Sorry, can’t resist. Powerfeedback has been preaching, and offering clients the exact same advice for 15 years! I guess everything old is indeed new again!

I Googled this....
“After three months of waiting, the end of Microsoft Corp’s pursuit of Yahoo Inc ended in a rush.”The reality of this proposed deal was simple. For better or worse, Yahoo! is woefully behind Google. NO ONE I know gets a warm and fuzzy feeling when they think of, or talk about Microsoft. As smart as all of the principals involved in this deal are, they must have relied on ego alone when they contemplated this union. Where does Yahoo! go from here? Can they really continue to play second fiddle to Google?
Its about time!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - “The Supreme Court on Monday upheld a tough state law requiring voters to show photo identification, a decision critics say could keep some blacks, poor people and other traditional Democratic supporters from voting in the November election.”This decision was long overdue. You need to drivers license and/or some sort of photo id to use a check or credit card in many places, so insisting on the same criteria when voting, especially for the highest office in our land seems perfectly logical.
