y PETER BAKER and JIM RUTENBERG
WASHINGTON — By the time the campaign tracked down the small-city Indiana mayor, Bill Clinton was in a lather. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton had lost the North Carolina primary that evening and was eager to offset it with a win in Indiana. But a vote-counting delay in one county threatened [...]... | | By: ArticlesModern | | |
| | The Long Road to a Perfect Margarita | | 2008-05-05 08:15:03 | | Cold, lime-flavored, salt-rimmed glass… as God intended.
There is nothing that says “Today is Cinco de Mayo,” to me as much as a nice, ice cold margarita. I prefer them on the rocks - to put that debate to bed early - though I will have one frozen too if that is all that is [...]... | | By: Deglazed | | |
| | Good Reads: Long Road Ahead For Democrats | | 2008-03-26 15:39:18 | | David Brooks: The Long DefeatHillary Clinton may not realize it yet, but she’s just endured one of the worst weeks of her campaign.First, Barack Obama weathered the Reverend Jeremiah Wright affair without serious damage to his nomination prospects. Obama still holds a tiny lead among Democrats nationally in the Gallup tracking poll, just as he did before this whole affair blew up. Second, Obama’s lawyers successfully prevented re-votes in Florida and Michigan. That means it would be virtually impossible for Clinton to take a lead in either elected delegates or total primary votes. Third, as Noam Scheiber of The New Republic has reported, most superdelegates have accepted Nancy Pelosi’s judgment that the winner of the elected delegates should get the nomination. Instead of lining up behind Clinton, they’re drifting away. Her lead among them has shrunk by about 60 in the past month, according to Avi Zenilman of Politico.com.In short, Hillary Clinton’s presidential prospects con... | | By: Political Realm | | |

| Credit crisis: Long road to recovery | | 2007-12-06 11:43:00 | | It's six months into the credit crunch and investors are still shaken. Businesses and households should get ready to hunker down in '08.By Grace Wong, CNNMoney.com staff writerLONDON (CNNMoney.com) -- A new year, a new start. For the credit markets, that's wishful thinking.Nearly six months since the credit crunch started, the situation is still grim - and there are few encouraging signs, which doesn't bode well for businesses and households next year.Toxic debt keeps cropping up on bank balance sheets. The housing slump still hasn't found a bottom, and investors remain skittish. Market watchers expect the credit environment to remain challenging into the better part of 2008. That will take a toll on corporate profits and squeeze American consumers, not to mention put a drag on economic growth."We're pretty close to a point where the capital markets fail to function properly," said John Addeo, a high-yield fund manager at MFS Investments. "I believe the Fed has the ability and wh... | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |
| | Asia’s Long Road to Recovery | | 2007-07-01 16:55:00 | | Dear all,A news article from the New York Times to remind us of the Asian Financial Crisis back then. What have we learnt from history? Are we going to repeat the same mistakes again?===========================================By KEITH BRADSHERBANGKOK, June 23 — As the founder of a petrochemicals business empire that aggressively expanded in refining, plastics, steel and cement, Prachai Leophairatana once ranked among Asia’s wealthiest men.But when Thailand devalued its currency a decade ago, on July 2, 1997 — causing a financial crisis that engulfed nearly the entire region — Mr. Prachai’s company was unable to keep up with payments on nearly $3 billion in debt, much of it denominated in dollars. Today, he has recovered somewhat, but he controls only the cement division and has not built a new factory in the last 10 years. His experience speaks volumes about what has happened here since the Asian financial crisis, which raised alarms around the world and was probably the mo... | | By: How to be Rich, Happy and Free from Scams | | |
| | Liquid Paper's long road to success | | 2007-03-20 07:14:26 | |
Many entrepreneurs quit on their ideas if they havent achieved instant success within the first six month. For this reason, over 99% of small businesses never see the end of a calendar year. If youve ever used a typewriter, youre probably thankful that Bette Nesmith Graham continued to developer Liquid Paper for over a decade before hiring even a single employee.
Twenty years after the first bottle was sold, Graham sold her company to Gillette for $47.5 million.
The idea for Liquid Paper started as a secret method to fix blotchy mistakes on her bosss documents. Graham worked for Texas Bank & Trust as an executive assistant. One day when workers were painting the bank windows for the holiday season, Graham had an idea: she could mix a paint that matched the paper and could cover up those embarrassing mistakes. And thats why she called her product Mistake Out.
Soon others in the office were learning of Grahams practical solution and were ordering bottles for t... | | By: Small Business Tycoon | | |
