Where are we this week? Here in the United States we just had the President’s State of the Union address that always, year after year, proclaims that the union is strong. The Super Bowl is about to be played in the New York/New Jersey area sending everyone (not […]
We just got through the third week of January. Most of our colleagues are back from their vacations facing a world of backlogged work, new unrealistic year-long agendas and still uncertain economic times. It’s enough to make anyone batty and perhaps a little socially awkward. This week’s wacky […]
If you hear a woman screaming for help in the middle of the night, more than likely you are going to help. Or so you believe. However, Kitty Genovese screamed and screamed decades ago, many in the neighborhood looked out their windows, and no one helped out. She […]
