Voters in the Columbus Schools area who were hoping to see a ballot initiative in November will be disappointed. The Campaign for Ohio's Future, a group made up of 12 separate educational groups, simply ran out of time to collect all the signatures needed to put their proposal on the 2007 November ballot. Supporters in the Columbus Schools had hoped that the proposal would shift financial obligations from the local community to the state, and improve the quality of public education. Over 400,000 signatures were required; the group managed to collect 150,000 before deciding to put the program on the back burner. They say they will try again in 2008. But not everyone in Columbus Schools, or in Ohio...

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment opportunities related to education jobs from teacher to administrator positions are expected to grow about as fast as the average rate for all occupations. This means that jobs in the education sector will increase at a rate of 7 to 13 percent from 2008 to 2018.

There are probably few things in business operations as frustrating as employee turn-over. It's both a disruption and an expense. Not only is it frustrating, it's also very costly, and the costs occur in the form of both hard and soft dollars. Some are evident as line-item expenses; however, the ones with the greatest negative impact are typically the soft costs. The problem is compounded when your company experiences a high turn-over rate or when you experience multiple, simultaneous resignations. The Real Costs Consider the following checklist of the real costs of turn-over and replacement: Exit costs: Figure the cost of the exit interview, payroll and benefit cessation; COBRA notification and...

There is a well known psychological theory called the expectations disappoints theory. The theory states that the resultant mood a person experiences after an event is the difference between his expectations and the outcomes he got. For example if a man expected to begin his life with 8000 Euro starting salary he might feel bad if he started with 7000 even though this is a very good starting salary. Since a perfectionist expects everything to be perfect he faces disappointments all the time, these disappointments doesn't only make him feel bad but they badly affect his self confidence and self esteem. For perfectionists: Each rejection makes them feel unloved Each failure makes them feel...

Oil drilling rig jobs are not for the weak or faint at heart. These are jobs that can only be done by those with strength and courage. Work on offshore oil rigs is difficult with long hours, made dangerous by treacherous weather. Sometimes work has to be done in freezing cold rain, sometimes in the hot sun and humid windless heat. But if this was all that an oil rig worker had to look forward to, no one would do the job. But the oil industry is one of the few sectors which actually pay their front line workers well. They make a lot of money, and almost never have enough workers. That's why offshore drilling companies are willing to pay $45,000 a year for entry level roustabouts. But this is not the...

One of the biggest decisions taken by western society businesses in the last twenty years or so has come back to bite them. I refer to the decision around 1990 that the cost of permanent staff was too high to sustain and, as much as possible, work should be out-sourced to contract or casual labour. The consequent widespread sacking of staff - especially in the middle management ranges - had a devastating impact on the workforce culture, including workers' dependents. Loyalty - both ways - died almost overnight. The concept of long-term commitment to the one employer, rewarded with a retirement pension and the proverbial gold watch when they reached their 60's, became a thing of the past. Term...

Apparently not…. In Germany, a bank employee secretly transferred money from rich to poor clients. Sadly the 62-year old woman was given a 22-month prison term for this act of kindness. She could have faced a 4-year sentence, but the court was being nice because she confessed immediately and did not profit personally. Between December 2003 and February 2005, the German ‘Robin Hood Banker’ moved some €7.6 million in 117 transfers. She did not take any money for herself. Her only motive was to prevent poorer...

These two colleges are the city's first and second largest employers, respectively. The area known as "University Hill" is the city's fastest growing neighborhood, adding dozens of small businesses and residential...

Does Medicare Cover Dental and Vision? Medicare is the US health insurance plan for seniors and disabled people. It provides basic medical coverage, and it really helps our seniors and disabled pay for health care. But original Medicare does not pay for everything, and dental or vision benefits are very limited. Routine care, like checkups, fillings, and glasses, are not usually covered. Services may be covered if they are associated with a medical issue like an illness or injury. For example, Medicare may pay for a hospital stay in the case of a complicated dental procedure. But it may not cover the actual dental work. For another example, Medicare does not usually cover eyeglasses or contacts...

When Social Security was established back in 1935 it was typical for women to stay home to raise the family. In most families the husband was the higher earner or the only earner in the family. In addition, women statistically outlive men, especially if the wife is younger than the husband. The combination of lower or no earnings and a longer life span meant many women found themselves in poverty when their husbands passed away. The Social Security Board recognized the challenges that women face and have implemented several changes to the system over the years to account for these needs. One of the first amendments to the Social Security system was to allow women to apply for benefits at age 62...

A 70-year-old truck driver was travelling west on I-196 near Grandville, MI, driving a semi-truck carrying pies when his truck crossed the centerline and collided with a 20078 Chevy Tahoe. The truck careened over the edge of an overpass and both vehicles caught fire. Motorists who stopped at the scene and Grandville police officers helped pull Robert Gortner, 82, from the Tahoe.

The lavish retirement years are gone. Our fathers enjoyed great retirements, but we will not. Buy-outs, business failures and economy drills by big business have forced us into a new reality. Not a bright one either. Most people spend more than they earn and huge debt is more normal than not.

The Al and Tipper Gore split has many Baby Boomers examining their own marriages and even more thinking, "how can this happen?" But happen it does, and the reasons are as individual as the couples themselves. As a Phoenix divorce lawyer, I see more than my share of Boomers who may have moved to Arizona to enjoy the wonderful weather, only to discover they no longer enjoy each other. Apart from the emotional side of a divorce, an older couple must also examine several issues that impact them simply because of where they are in life. The major income generating years are usually behind them, so careful attention must be paid to the valuation and division of assets, including the primary residence...

Everybody starts working with one clear goal in mind. This is to make enough money to not have to work anymore. Over a lifetime of work, people have the opportunity to take a percentage out of every paycheck to be put aside for retirement. These types of plans are called the 401k retirement package. However, what is the basic structure of a 401k plan? To begin, the first piece of information that can be highlighted is that a 401k plan takes a prearranged percentage of a person's weekly, biweekly, or monthly paychecks. This deduction from wages is brought on by the employee and not the company and can be set by the worker themselves. Each company is different, so it is important to read over all...
