Do you know that U.S. terrestrial broadcasters are exempt from paying a public performance right for sound recordings? This leaves hundreds of thousands of U.S. songwriters and composers in the lurch.

Today the Korea Herald published my interview with two of the performers in Cirque du Soleil's Alegría. Alegría opened in Seoul last Wednesday and I had a chance to go see it on Friday.

Would you promote an employee who ranked a 2 out of 10 on his or her last performance review? That is exactly what the Democratic and Republican parties are asking us to do. The Presidential campaign is referred to as one long job interview. Yet, the 3 people who are applying for the job get low marks from the public. According to RealClearPolitics, only 21% of the country approves of the job Congress is doing. Yet, John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama are all sitting Senators and vying for this promotion.Presented by Kohrman Jackson & Krantz

ISBN-0814471412There's nothing easier, more natural--or more dangerous--than to latch on to wrong information. Salespeople do it all the time, as they mistakenly build their sales philosophies on foundations of half-truths and falsehoods, such as "you must be aggressive to succeed in sales" or "lower your price to close the sale."

Disclosure: Long Goldman Sachs (GS)
At a meeting of the House Subcommittee on the Courts, the Internet, and Intellectual Property Tuesday morning, a jovial and outright jocular spirit of bipartisanship prevailed, where both Democrats and Republicans spoke at length of what they characterized as the historically unfair treatment of performance artists by broadcasters who refused to pay for the privilege of playing their works over the radio.

The majority of people just do not believe the chicken littles of the world about global warming and especially not their pied piper leader Algore. Climate change is more than just a possibility. It is a historical fact. The last significant climate change was the Little Ice Age that lasted from the 13th through 19th centuries. Remember all the pictures of George Washington crossing the frozen Potomac River? That was the tail end of the Little Ice Age. Yes, climate change or even global warming is a real possibility. Where the lemmings on the left go over the edge is assuming that man can affect it one way or the other. Have you ever noticed that bright ball of fire in the sky that all light and heat comes from? Heres a shocker...sometimes the sun gets warmer and sometimes it gets cooler. The idea of a dynamic changing sun seems to be too difficult of a concept for the left to grasp. I think the following article shows conclusively that the global warming movement, at least in the ey

JT Chandler » The Seven Secrets of Top Performers: "Let’s put to rest the fallacy that success, in sales or any profession, is due to luck, chance, and/or hard work. There is nothing further from the truth. Think about it, you and I both know people who work incredibly hard, putting in long hours, they may even have two jobs, but they are not consistently (if ever) successful. Hard work certainly contributes to success, but hard work alone will not make you top-flight in your industry. Is success due, then, to luck or chance?After years of study, in a multitude of industries, I have come to the conclusion that success is an absolute science. In other words, there are exact principles of thought and action that all top performers universally and consistently exhibit. Let’s examine seven of these principles more closely:"
