We went to go see what was happening in Colorado Springs and in Denver in terms of startups, startup culture, support and interest in technology startups and found nothing.

We all know people who have moving horror stories. Even if a move goes perfectly, it's bound to be stressful and exhausting. When you're dealing with large-scale moves, big rental trucks and self storage, the stress compounds even further. Self-storage facilities generally don't have that great of a reputation, whether they deserve it or not. Generally, you get what you pay for. If you use the cheapest storage unit you can find, in the seediest part of town, with the scummiest employees imaginable, you might be putting your precious snow globe collection at risk. On the other hand, you might shell out a small fortune for the best climate controlled, 24-hour attended storage unit you can find, and have an accident or theft still occur. Nothing is failure-proof. If you are storing things like expensive furniture, collections, your best china, imported rugs or anything else that has a lot of value, you might consider purchasing self-storage insurance. Some self-storage units do offer some

As with just about everything else these days, corporations are outsourcing their checks on potential employees to background check companies that specialize in using public and private records to find out about anyone. There are many reasons why they might want to check on their potential employees, and many reasons why it's more cost effective to use background check companies rather than try to accomplish this themselves.Legality to Work in the CountryIt's unfortunate that there is a need for checks on any potential employees, but there are many reasons why they may be absolutely necessary. For example, the issue of illegal immigration is hotly debated in the political arena, but the reality is that a company can be liable if they hire persons who are not authorized to work in this country. Background check companies can investigate visas, work permits, green cards, and documents like these, and make sure that an immigrant's paperwork is in order. This is especially needed if the co

An oldie, but goodie. Jim Collins, in his 2001 book, discusses how some companies make (and sustain) the leap to great companies, while others hover at good. I recently reread this nugget, to remind myself what makes a leader strong and successful.

People often swap web site names between each other. They tell them to their friends, neighbours, colleagues and so on. Think how difficult it would have been for Google if their web site name (domain) had been something like "www.automatedsearchenginesystemnotrelyingonhumaneditors.com". And what about people who try to recommend web sites along the lines of "www.ourcompanyname.com/reports/pdf/public/12345-abc.htm"; such things are hardly catchy, easy to remember and pass on.Often, online business owners forget that one of the principal ways in which their web site will gain traffic is by the passing on of their domain name by "word of mouth". Hence it is vital to have an easy to recall, catchy name. However, new research shows that businesses often neglect the name of their web site.Indeed, the study conducted for Fasthosts and reported in New Business magazine found that one in every 20 businesses can't even remember their own domain name....!The fact is, according to the survey, tha

Every week we tell about a person who was important in the history of the United States. Today Shirley Griffith and Ray Freeman tell about reporter Ida Minerva Tarbell.Ida Tarbell was one of the most successful magazine writers in the United States during the last century. She wrote important stories at a time when women had few social or political rights.Ida Tarbell used her reporting skills against one of the most powerful companies in the world. That company was Standard Oil. Ida Tarbell charged that Standard Oil was using illegal methods to hurt or destroy smaller oil companies.She investigated these illegal business dealings and wrote about them for a magazine called McClure's. The reports she wrote led to legal cases that continued all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States.Ida Tarbell was born in the eastern state of Pennsylvania in November, eighteen fifty-seven. Her family did not have much money. Her father worked hard but had not been very successful.When Ida was

I’ve read an interesting article this morning. It was about several companies, including Coca-Cola, Kellogg’s and Mattel have been named as the worst brands when it comes to abusing consumer rights around the world. And these companies are awarded “The Bad Product Awards”, haha~This announcement has been made at Sydney by an international network of consumer groups. According to them, Coca-Cola has been named for making large amounts of money by selling “water” to consumers that is taken from local and municipal supplies. Then Kellogg's has been named for using cartoon-type characters to attract and sell unhealthy food to children. (i thought Kellogg’s foods are healthy?) At the same time, Mattel has received an award for avoiding responsibility for an ongoing recall of millions of products.Last but not least, the overall winner is a Japanese company, Takeda Pharmaceuticals, for marketing sleeping drugs to children in the United States. (walao eh~ is it a joke or what?) W

Thanks to Virgil Griffith, a Cal Tech grad student, anyone can now see how companies are editing their Wikipedia entries on the site Wikiscanner. This is possible because each edit is tracked by IP address, even those that originate in corporate offices. In the past someone from Walmart has edited Wikipedia to put a positive spin on their employment practices. Someone at ExxonMobil did the same with an entry on the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill. An edit tracked from BustBuy changed a rivals name to Circuit "Noob" City. MySpace and other companies have completely deleted criticism. They may have been trying to be proactive in cleaning up their online image, but ethics is doing the right thing when no one is looking. They must have had some inkling of the dubious nature of putting spin on an a public encyclopedia. We may never know who is guilty and how high in the organization these people were, but I think the good employees will refrain from using Wikipedia as a PR tool in the future.
The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments from power companies including a Calpine Corp. unit in a case that may affect California's bid to save $1.4 billion on supply contracts signed during the 2000-01 energy crisis. The justices today agreed to consider whether the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has the power to cut the price on long-term contracts that customers say were the product of market manipulation. A federal appeals court ordered FERC to reconsider its refusal to adjust the contracts. The justices will consider appeals by units of Calpine, American Electric Power Co., Allegheny Energy Inc. and Morgan Stanley, which has a power marketing unit. Their case centers on long-term contracts with purchasers in Nevada and Washington, including units of Sierra Pacific Resources and American States Water Co. and the public utility district of Snohomish County, Washington. The case will affect two similar high court appeals c
Earlier this week, MediaDefender - a company employed by entertainment industry corporations in the battle on peer-to-peer networks - had its business suddenly thrust into the open when its gmail account someone swung open.

It seems that certain credit card companies are targeting sub-prime customers, people with bad credit. If you are one of them do not be sucked into more debt!As subprime borrowers began to default on their mortgages in rapidly growing numbers this year, credit card issuers increased their efforts to sign up such customers with tarnished financial histories, according to a market research firm.Direct mail credit card offers to subprime customers in the United States jumped 41 percent in the first half of this year, compared with the first half in 2006, according to Mintel International Group. Direct mail offers targeted at customers with the best credit fell more than 13 percent. This is incredibly irresponsible behavior for a lender. Not only the company but the people taking them up on these offers. folks a change in lifestyle is required to get your backsides out of debt!

At the moment, it would have to be US Airways. Check out the Transportation Department’s latest numbers.
