Update: Mexico's President-Elect
I've recovered from my marathon. Felipe Calderon won the recount, but AMLO is going to take it all to court. There is a massive protest getting ready to happen in Mexico City tomorrow (Saturday, July 8). It's going to be interesting to see what happens now.....I just hope there isn't any violence.

Yes, there is an enormous amount of poverty here, but the solution to that is education and better infrastructure, not government handouts. Mexico is joining the world as a force to be reckoned with in terms of business, and it...
6 Steps To Get Slightly Famous
A few years ago, Bruce Smith experienced a slowdown in his Salt Lake City-based travel agency. Airlines had eliminated his sales commissions. The recession and recent terrorist attacks also took a toll. And because the travel industry was ultra-competitive, he knew he had to find ways to distinguish his company from thousands of other travel agencies.Then, he had a fortunate accident. His wife asked him where they would celebrate their first wedding anniversary. When he gave her a blank look, she set about planning a trip-but wouldn't tell him what she was planning. Because he enjoyed the mystery leading up to the trip, and the hints his wife gave him, he repackaged his travel service as The Veiled...

All inclusive packages aren't inherently bad. They're certainly different from the type of travel I enjoy but there are many people who speak very highly of them.In a nutshell, all inclusive packages are great for people who travel because they want a week or two of great weather. People who love all inclusive packages are typically those who don't really care about the culture of the place they visit: things like the size of the waves at the beach or the water temperature are more important to them than whatever churches, museums and other tourist attractions are nearby. For any couples looking for a honeymoon where they can lounge around a beach or a swimming pool, maybe play a round or two of...

Recent Studies Show How Our Bodies Fight Disease
**Obese people less likely to survive colorectal cancerAccording to a new report, people who are physically inactive and are obese around the middle have poor odds of survival after a diagnosis of colorectal cancer."We have now shown that modifiable lifestyle factors that were known to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer can also reduce the mortality in cases diagnosed with the disease," Dr. Andrew M.

Health Savings Accounts Put You in Control of...
As Health Savings Accounts grow in popularity, there is growing fear among those who want to nationalize healthcare that they will not be able to put the cat back in the bag. There are already over 3 million HSA owners, and by 2010, the Treasury Department estimates as many as 45 million Americans will be covered by HSA plans. They will have billions of dollars invested to cover future medical expenses, and by then it will be politically impossible to take that benefit away.If you currently have a high-deductible health insurance plan, you can invest tax-free money in a Health Savings Account.

Trendy Furniture Can Make Or Break A Room
Some say that you are what you eat. The same can apply to furniture. You are as cool as your furniture is trendy. The type of furniture you choose, the color, style and look can make or break a room's appeal. But more than that: the furniture you choose to place in your bedroom, the furniture you sleep on or dress in front of, can truly impact on your mood, self esteem, relationships and general lifestyle.The trendier a piece of furniture may be, the trendier you will feel. Of course, one piece of trendy or cool furniture doesn't always solve the problem of a nondescript looking room, but one piece of furniture will automatically change the feel of a room, be it the bedroom or the kitchen.

The holidays are here, that means sleding, tubing, skiing, building snow men, and snowball fights with frineds and family. Many people forget to wear sunscreen this time of year because it's not the hot days of summer. But going without sunscreen in a snow covered environment is in many ways worse than no protection in the mid summer sun.The fact is that snow reflects light in a blinding fashion. If you've ever walked through snow and had to shade your eyes from the glare of the snow then you know what I mean. That light is also hitting your unprotected skin and causing sun damage. The glare from the snow is usually many more times magnifined then the sun is on it's own. This means the damage to...
How to Maintain Your Power Throughout the Holidays
It's that time of year again. The Holiday Season is upon us. Which means most of us, for better or for worse, will be with our families. Being with family-though familiar-can inspire a sense of dread. As we approach Grandma's house (or Aunt Jude's, Dad and Mom's, our Brother Ted's, etc.) we roll our eyes and prepare to be treated the same way we were treated when we were the adorable 5 year old or the rebellious 16 year old. Rarely do we experience a full and welcoming embrace of our present day selves; instead, we are constantly shadowed by the memory, stories and expectations of who we once were, sometimes in stark contrast to who we've become or would have liked to become.And then, as if stepping...

Could the person in this story be one of your salespeople?A 39-year-old salesperson recently told me that he earned a six-figure income last year.

The salesperson is not married.As he and I began our interview, I asked permission to ask a few questions about his financial situation and he agreed."If you don't mind my asking, how much of last year's income did you invest?" I asked him."I know I need to begin saving for retirement, but so far I've not...
Mexico: Death in Mexico
Death: No thank you. Dying: Gives me a panic attack. Burial: Not today, please. Of all the subjects I could write about, this one is my least favorite.

No more than seven months later, my youngest brother died of undetermined causes.
