According to the REBGV, since this time last year, sales of detached, attached and apartment properties have dropped by over 42% across the board. While summer usually marks ...

Improving a Business' IQ: Strategies to Make Business Work Better Through Research

2010-08-13

"Firms don't have a good measure of R&D effectiveness or what I call, Firm IQ," says Anne Marie Knott, associate professor of strategy at Olin Business School, Washington University in St. Louis.

Knott has received a grant from the NSF for a study to identify the characteristics of firms with highly productive R&D (high IQ) versus those with less productive R&D (low IQ). During the pilot ...

2010-08-13

North Carolina's Contributory Negligence Rules Outdated and Unfair

2010-08-13

Imagine that you were in a bad car crash. Not only was there extensive property damage to your vehicle, but you also suffered severe injuries and have thousands of dollars in unpaid medical bills to prove it. In an attempt to recoup your losses from the insurance company of the driver who hit you, you file a personal injury lawsuit. While there is some question about whether the other driver is 100% at fault, you are confident that he is at least partially responsible for your losses. The court, however, disagrees and finds you shared fault - 10% of it - for causing ...

Public Outcry for FDA Reform

2010-08-13

Federal and Florida State Policies Put Bikes on More Equal Footing

2010-08-13

Today cyclists are a familiar sight on Florida's streets, but it has only been in the last generation or so (since the 1970s) that cycling among adults has really taken off. Before that, cycling was generally regarded as a children's pursuit. While many Florida roads have had bike lanes added to them, in many cases it's not a perfect fit, and on other roads adding bike lanes has proved difficult due to traffic patterns, natural and man-made obstacles, and expense. In March of 2010, Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood announced a major policy change, saying that it was ...
