I just loved this article.  It really sets the stage for whats going on in the worlds ecomony.  When think about it nobody is really stepping up and taking charge.  It used to be the Old U.S.A. but not anymore.  Maybe thats the whole problem.  Give it a read and youll see what I mean:

There was something fitting about Greek Prime Minister George Papandreous reckless call for a referendum on the latest rescue package for his country. World leaders gathering in Cannes for a G-20 summit face stark realities. The global economy is faltering, and no country has assumed leadership in organizing recovery.

There is a loss of control, a vacuum of power. Papandreous disruptive decision now apparently withdrawn symbolizes this larger erosion of collective purpose. The world economy is adrift. We are moving from Globalization 1.0 to Globalization 2.0. In Globalization 1.0, countries benefited from expanded trade and worldwide technology transfers. From 1980 to 2010, global trade volumes grew fourfold. Countless millions were lifted from poverty; new middle classes arose in Asia and Latin America. In G

TIMING in central banking, just as in politics, is everything. Originally, Jens Weidmann, the head of the Bundesbank, was supposed to speak before Mario Draghi, the new president of the European Central Bank (ECB) at the European Banking Congress, held today in Frankfurt. But a late change of the agenda had Mr Draghi be the first to take the stage in Frankfurt’s old opera house (which, ironically, only a few weeks ago was the site of a furious argument over the ECB’s role in the crisis between Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, and Nicolas Sarkozy, the French president).

Yet even more than the speaking order, it was the stridency of views in his first public speech outside the ECB, which drove home the point that Mr Draghi has no intention of playing second fiddle to Mr Wiedmann.

Mr Draghi dwelled on the need for discipline and reform in the euro zone’s periphery. While

Yesterday I met with an entrepreneur from Israel who has built a Facebook app called Chat Rounds that allows you and a buddy to hang out, video chat, and play games and watch videos together. He told me that the service is particularly popular with military people stationed abroad and away from their families.

Skyping with your spouse works well enough but apparently it is hard to get the kids to hang out on Skype for long. But in Chat Rounds, the kids can play games or watch cartoons with their parent half way across the world in some war zone.

I was moved by that story. When my dad was in Vietnam, we lost a parent for a year. Thank god we didnt lose a parent for good.

Being in the military is a tough job. Not only do you have to put yourself in harms way in service of your country, you have to leave your families at home. It is a great sacrifice.

So on this Veterans Day, lets remember and thank all the veterans out there for their service to our country. It is too easy to take it for granted.

With medical costs rising every year, it is more important than ever to find the health insurance option that is best for you and your family.  Shopping for a health insurance plan should involve more than just reviewing premium prices, especially if you are shopping for private health insurance.  Understanding the different types of health insurance plans available and what they cover will help you make the correct decision of what type of health insurance is best for you.

There are three types of health insurance to choose from: Health Maintenance Organizations (HMOs), Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), and High Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs).  HMOs provide comprehensive coverage at fairly inexpensive rates and consumers generally don’t pay any deductibles or co-payments for basic care.
