For most supermarket items, you won't see a drop in price. Think about Beef. That beef was fed on $7.00 corn, delivered by trucks fueled by $4 gas, for months. The fact that gas is $1.50 now doesn't change that. The same is true for shorter chain items as well, the milk we drink is produced by cows who are still eating gains/hay/whatever that was produced during the price bubble, so it's still going to be affected. Can't expect a change on most items until at least mid 2009, and by then...

Art, you've got it. Plus factor in the substantially increased mortality risk driving 100,000 miles in a 50mpg vehicle versus a 20mpg vehicle. We mask that by showing crash ratings based on the fiction that a tiny car will always hit or be hit by a similar tiny car. That's how you can have 5 star crash ratings for the Smart Car and 3 star crash ratings for Hummer H2's, by pretending that all collisions will involve a similar sized vehicle. You can probably pick up 2mpg with just the...

You are right, Ethanol is not embraced by environmentalists or economists, it's only really embraced by one special interest group... the people who make Ethanol (and their suppliers, who grow corn). In my opinion, Ethanol would not exist if corn were not grown in Iowa (and if Iowa didn't host a very early and influential presidential primary). Also, worth noting that while this is a political issue, it is not a partisan one. Both parties lack the political will to say no to Ethanol. $3.47 a...

Hilarious, but don't try it at home unless you are comfortable with electrical wiring. For those who can't figure it out, here's how they build the table to pop the corn and present the illusion: You could use a cup of coffee instead of a cellphone!

Field of Dreams is a 1989 film, about an Iowa corn farmer who hears a voice telling him: "If you build it, he will come." He interprets this as an instruction to build a baseball diamond in his fields; after he does, Shoeless Joe Jackson and other dead baseball players emerge from the cornfields to play ball. Ok, what the heck does this have to do with prospecting? Ask any sales representative their strategic plan for developing business and listen for stone cold silence.

The information below was derived from a pamphlet that I found while cleaning out the attic.  The pamphlet was printing in 1941 and was titled "800 Ways to Save and Serve", which was designed to help Americans with the World War II effort....

The smell of spring is in the air, along with the completion of the first week of the 2018 Major League baseball season here in the US.

This Week in the Copier Industry Ten Years Ago Last Week of September 2014 Real Copier Sales (10 Years Ago) One of the greatest points of distinction between top sales performers and everyone else is average sale size. Great salespeople typically make much larger sales than the rest of the team -- often by a factor of four to 10 times that of the typical salesperson. But how is this possible when Salesperson A and Salesperson B are selling the same product or service?.... . more here Check...
