Why Suing Chinese Companies In The US Is Usually A Waste Of Time.
2009-09-02 07:31:00 Ft.com has a fascinating and extremely sad story, entitled, "An accident shows how China treats consumers." (h/t This is China!) It's a great article, but the title is all wrong, at least if you are a lawyer. The title should be "An accident illustrates why it is (almost always) a complete waste of time to sue Chinese companies in United States Courts." I am sure that most of you will read this article and get all angry and ask, how can this be? I read this article and nod my head and think, been there, done that. That is because just about every month, I get a call from some lawyer, somewhere in the United States, calling me and expecting me to be really interested in the great case he or she is offering me. The case usually goes something like this: 1. I have a $16.5 million judgment against this Chinese company for securities fraud. We got the judgment from such and such US court and "all we have to do now" (I swear they nearly always say this as though they just did ...

'Decommisioned' Bicycles & Their Waste Stream
2009-07-22 18:24:00 Keeping in with our theme of spills, crashes, injuries and utter turmoil, it has always struck me as to what people do with their destroyed carbon fiber bikes after a crash. Do they trash it in the dumpster? Do they try their best and send it somewhere for a repair? Do they salvage some parts and try to use them in a different application and setting? What would you do?This blog has shown you a number of instances in the past where bikes and bicycle components have failed. Now often there is a legitimate reason for these occurrences which I don't want to go into. But what happens afterward? What do you do with this pile of seemingly junk metal and carbon fiber?Recently, a reader and fan of this blog - Anthony Hendrickson, with Materials & Process Engineering at Boeing Rotorcraft Systems, sent me a photo of his friend's high end Pinarello. This rider went into a turn about three wide at speed and got pushed to the outside. He wound up going into a ditch/gully running parallel t...

Surveys Online - Opportunity Or Waste of Time?
2009-06-14 16:30:00 When searching for legitimate work at home opportunities, taking surveys online could be just what you are looking for. At first glance, you will see the work is very simple. This type of work is perfect for people looking to make money with little effort. You don't have to write articles, or sell anything. Your job is to answer questions as best you can. Unfortunately like most things in life, little effort means little gain. With this type of home work, hours are long and the pay is low. For some people this isn't a problem.When taking surveys,you are going to find yourself picking out a survey that looks perfect for you. The survey will start by asking you a few basic questions. Then out of nowhere, they stop the survey to tell you, sorry this one is full, or you live in the wrong area, or you're the wrong age. There always seems to be a reason, for you not to take the survey. Wasting your time is of no concern to them.When you do get to finish one, you receive a dollar or two...

DESPERATE Move Proves A Real Waste
2009-04-20 16:18:00 By: CouchTater In a plot twist typical of this season’s DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES, Edie Britt’s death was treated much the same as her life: as an afterthought. From the beginning, the character — played by KNOTS LANDING vixen Nicollette Sheridan — was written as a one-note character who existed mainly to vamp it up when needed. It says a lot that the character’s best friend was another secondary character, Mrs. McCluskey. The two women shared an odd bond that was, of course, never fully played or examined. Ironically, it wasn’t until this week’s episode, as the women of Wisteria Lane mourned their frienemy, that the show finally seemed to realize just how wonderful and complex a character they had in Edie. “As far back as I can remember, a voice in the back of my head said, ‘Live it up today, because you’re not going to have a lot of tomorrows.’” And in that one, poignant scene, the show exposed the very essence of ...

2009-04-14 23:58:00 Earmarks Rise to $19.6 Billion in CAGW?s 2009 Pig Book(Washington, D.C.) - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW) today released the 2009 Congressional Pig Book, the latest installment in the group?s 19-year exposé of pork-barrel spending. The Pig Book revealed 10,160 earmarks worth $19.6 billion.?Everyone in Washington has promised a new era of transparency and restraint in earmarks, from President Obama to the leaders of both parties in Congress,? said CAGW President Tom Schatz. ?Sadly, the hard numbers from the 2009 appropriations bills tell a different story. The current Democratic congressional majority is following the same trajectory as their Republican predecessors. They came into power promising to cut earmarks, and made a big show of it during their first two years. However, as the 2009 Pig Book amply illustrates, pork-barrel spending is growing fast.?While the number of specific projects declined by 12.5 percent, from 11,610 in fiscal year 2008 to 10,160 in fiscal ...

Innovation? What a waste of time!
2009-03-28 14:31:00 Gadi Amit, president of NewDealDesign, writes at The Fast Company Blog that Innovation (or Design Thinking?), as championed by the likes of Bruce Nussbaum (BusinessWeek's Design Blog) and David Kelly (IDEO), is "killing" Industrial Design by forcing an "analytical structure" over something that is more intuitive. Very interesting, it sounds to me that this is very similar to what people often complain as the failure of most MBA programs. Has Design lost its way in the avenues of business plans and ROIs (return of investments)?
