Great! Maybe all those regulations are doing what they’re supposed to do. Who’d a think!;)

I ran the girl’s numbers WSJ really reported that without adding the numbers up? You can look at the sales record. Even if all the clothes were free, it’s not $3000 in sales. Not even close. According to the IRS anything over $400 a year is declared a business. Bad reporting.

Dash cams are on the rise in the US also. They’re extremely useful in case something happens that you’d like to keep track of.

Comment on Trying to throw your arms around the world: How to say no to 8 things at once by Natalie Hart

Natalie Hart — Tue, 12 Feb 2013 12:44:32 +0000

Thanks for this post, Rudy. I like your way of turning agony into prayer, and your admission that saying “no” still stings, even awhile after you’ve said it sometimes. Seriously, though, how could you do more than you do without cloning yourself

Comment on Here’s a list of 14 Latina Christians in America to Know by Elizabeth Childs Drury

Elizabeth Childs Drury — Mon, 04 Feb 2013 21:14:33 +0000

Thanks for posting, Rudy! Another amazing Latina leader in ministry and education is Joanne Solis Walker, who not only directs the rapidly-growing Spanish-language graduate programs at Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University, but also influences the church toward appropriate and effective intercultural partnership.

Well said. It is sad that the current U.S. administration, through the auspices of the EPA, appears to be dragging its feet on this procedure which could go a long way to energy independence for the U.S.

Comment on Why Business Matters To God by David Doty

David Doty — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 14:49:26 +0000

To say that business is about providing opportunities to do meaningful and creative work is a bit limited, and perhaps focuses too much on the individual. The increasing complexity of societies and economies create a growing environment in which we can learn to (and should) practice holiness in how we conduct our exchanges – what we do with our creativity and materials gains as we cooperate and collaborate between producers. That model demonstrates the whole of humankind made in the image of a communal, Trinitarian God who reveals himself, if we are willing to see him, abiding “in our midst,” that is, in the “space” between us as we work productively as a whole.

Am researching the feasibility of an overseas coffee shop. Sorry I missed this workshop! Were you involved? If so, do you know if a recording is available? I didn’t see a link on the Marketplace Revolution site to ask. Thanks…

Comment on NBC Latino: Singer Bruno Mars brings record ratings to Saturday Night Live by Riley

Riley — Wed, 24 Oct 2012 12:56:58 +0000

The Pandora Intern skit was absolutely hilarious to me. I loved that Bruno sounded exactly like Michael Jackson. I didn’t see the show live the other night since I was working late at DISH. I set up my Hopper to automatically record SNL so I could watch it the next morning. It’s nice that I can have the entire season on my DVR, and still have plenty of recording space left over. Bruno Mars is one of my favorite artists, and I can’t wait to hear his new album.

Yes Rudy, she is blessed and a blessing. She actually kept her Auntie awake as she talked to me the entire ride from Pasadena to LA at the mere age of two. She has not stopped showering me with her thoughts and insights yet! Love you Mikey! Happy Bday!

Comment on Video: Building the world’s most affordable and accessible private university by popopower

popopower — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 16:52:24 +0000

With the proliferation of online teaching/learning, there will be a need for fewer and fewer actual classroom teachers. If it is a taped course, the teacher does it once and it is seen by many, many students over a long period of time. The online course may not even be taught by a teacher, but rather involves a lot of reading and internet based enrichment activities. There may be a “monitor” in the computer lab to help the kids through a tough question, but this person will be a generalist, not necessarily specific to a content area. So, if all learning goes online, there will not be the need for so many classroom teachers.

With online teaching/learning like this, what keeps people from cheating? How do you know who is actually taking the assessments and doing the work. It looks like a great cottage industry would be for really smart people to take the tests and do the work for a “student” who has paid them to do so. These guys could make a lot of money that way.

Comment on In the future, everything will be a coffee shop by Howard Freeman

Howard Freeman — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 18:54:57 +0000

Fascinating, and will be more than a little welcomed in cities, in my opinion. (So long as there can be one-off shops that can compete in business districts against large chains.)

Comment on Economic growth, not redistribution, has been the surest cure for poverty by popopower

popopower — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:29:48 +0000

But everyone will be equal and dependent on the government and the left will be happy because they have attained their goal!!!

Comment on Economic growth, not redistribution, has been the surest cure for poverty by popopower

popopower — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 00:27:45 +0000

The reduction of poverty in the world is because of free enterprise/capitalism. If the socialists/leftists have their unbridled free reign in getting what they want, these gains against poverty will be lost. The left’s primary goal is not that people get jobs, etc. It is that everyone be equal, that there is that no one person have more money than others. That is easy to attain- take the money away from those who have it (the government will get it and give things free to the poor). This will work for a year or two. Then those who are job creators, who due to their creativity and taking risks, previously ended up with more money than others, will no longer take those risks and create those businesses that hired people will no longer do that. Thus there will be much less money/resources in the world and less will get down to those in Third World countries who live in poverty.
