So what does LGM do? Well, that’s a good question. Here’s a small snapshot of the last few days.
First, our good friends over at Indian Creek Winery invited us over for a barrel tasting of a few of their upcoming releases. I am trying to recollect my mental tasting notes . . .
If I […]

I am still confused. So a couple weeks ago John McCain said that we could be in Iraq for 100 years. Look it up - it’s all over the Internets. Anyway - now he is out there clarifying his statement by saying, roughly, “yeah - we’ll be in Iraq for 100 years like we are […]

Ok so its not BIG fun, but Google Alerts, not only useful, can be pretty amusing. We use Google Alerts to get notified whenever Pronetos, our competitors, or industry leaders are mentioned in the press. It’s just one more way to keep abreast of the business landscape out there.

Granted, most people don’t follow the intracacies of what is going on with the academic publishing market, but this thing called the Internets really seems to be gaining traction among academics.

Man I swear you can’t get on the local websites - either the Statesman or the Idaho Business Review without hearing some realtor or developer tell us - “Ah heck, housing is coming back. Don’t worry about it. All these rate cuts, people will be snapping up the cheap money to buy everything in sight.”
Uh […]

So . . . if you saw the Day After Tomorrow it is clear what is happening out there - I mean all the snow in Idaho, Israel, etc. Yeah, we’ve been buried in it, even here in the big City. Never the less, Barak Obama managed to get here to campaign. And though half […]

So in a previous post, I wondered why B of A, who lost billions in the mortgage market, would want to buy CountryWide, who lost billions in the mortgage market.
