    Women Often Make Better Franchisees
    Smart franchisors come to realize very quickly that some the best franchisees in their system are women. Women make very good business owners and without trying to stereotype here, let me just say there are often inherent differences between men and women and those differences often give women the upper hand in success ratios in franchise organizations.In our franchise syste
    Yesterday was not a good day to be a Republican ! But how did those of us concerned with homeland security fare ?

    There are three things to look at here. One the Democrats took the U.S. House, BIG ! The Senate as I write this is hanging in the balance waiting on the results of two very tight races, best case the Republican Majority will loose strength. More Democratic governors, a lot more. This is important because governors control national guard and state defense forces units. Governors also have a lot to say about how "pass through" grants are distributed. In most states they are also very involved at setting budget and law enforcement priorities.

    I' still digesting yesterday's results but here are my opening thoughts.

    1) Rumsfeld is gone. I had said before the election that this would probably happen anyway. The newly emboldened Democratic leadership will insist on it. Look for the administration to find a graceful exit for the secretary of defense.

    2) Shifts in Funding.Tax and spending bills according to the U. S. Constitution must begin in the house. Democrats as a rule look to shift money away from national security,law enforcement, and homeland security to social programs. Expect to fight for every penny of every allocation. We'll be very lucky to see any funding increases anywhere. One place this will hurt us badly is the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard's Deepwater Initiative has never been funded as it should be. In fact Deepwater funds have been raided just to keep the existing fleet of ships and aircraft going. This is the problem. The Coast Guard's cutter and aircraft fleets are old and falling apart. Spare parts are getting next to impossible to find. Deepwater is just one glaring example of what's at stake here.

    Deciphering Your Credit Score
    If you are trying to rent an apartment, borrow money for a car, a home or even get a credit card, your score can have a major impact on whether you can borrow, how much you can borrow and even your interest rate. Understanding your score is important but there are a lot of numbers and confusing wording that can make this a challenge.A credit score is a mathematical system th

    Turkey: An Economic Train Wreck?
    Is Turkey becoming an economic Turkey and problematic issue for the European Union? Some have called Turkey; an economic train wreck. At least one person has been writing some hard-hitting articles, which have appeared in the Economist, Foreign Affairs, The Financial Times and World Financial News. What can Turkey do to prevent further decline from an obvious bird flu type virus?election that this would probably happen anyway. The newly emboldened Democratic leadership will insist on it.

    Cisco acquires Scientific Atlanta, with the hope of combining the various home networks: video, data, voice, audio. In one stroke, Cisco has positioned itself at the pinnacle of the Network Convergence debate.Only two companies had a complete lock over the channel serving the STB market: Motorola and Scientific Atlanta.

    Evaluating MLM Companies
    Just as you have to evaluate products and services, you have to evaluate the companies you intend to represent. There are things to look for in a promising company as well as red flags to look out for. Don’t let the visions of wealth and success blur your perspective. You must weigh these factors before you invest your time and money.Focus is on Retail Salesem. The Coast Guard's cutter and aircraft fleets are old and falling apart. Spare parts are getting next to impossible to find. Deepwater is just one glaring example of what's at stake here.

    3)Immigration Policy- I expect that immigration policy over the next two or three years will trend toward "amnesty", and away from enforcement. Amnesty has been tried and has failed repeatedly in the past, and I don't expect it will succeed this time.

    4) Appointment confirmations- These will get tougher. Even if the Republicans manage to hold on to a slim senate majority, I expect the two independents to side with the democrats most of the time. The administration will need to be much more open minded in their choices.

    5) Iraq The Democrats will push hard for a firm timetable for withdrawl from Iraq. This would be a major mistake for too many reasons to go into here. My fear is they will get it.

    On balance I think yesterday was a very bad day for those concerned with homeland security. One of the major themes that brought the Democrats this victory was their promise of a change in policy toward Iraq. I expect that they will force a premature withdrawl from Iraq, which will likely lead to a collapse of that country's infant government. I don't even want to think about how many years, and lives will be lost in that mess. I keep saying that sometimes it would be nice to be wrong. This is one of those times. Come on Democrats ! Make me eat my words,please !
