Business, too, has seasons of prosperity, recovery, recession and drought. Yung-Yuan Lai calls this the Natural Theory--and suggests that life cycles, business cycles, economic cycles and stock cycles shape our lives, and are key factors to success.... (Continue reading)

Federal Lawsuit Blasts Political Cronyism in Philadelphia Courts

The Philadelphia Register of Wills is an elected official who runs campaigns to win his position. He also has the duty as a judicial officer to appoint qualified heirs as administrators to estates. When Petitions are filed with the Register, the law (20 Pa.C.S.A. §301(b)) and the Register's own procedures manual mandate hearings before refusing an heir appointment to be administrator of their parent's estate. But in Philadelphia, the law does not matter when politicians run the show. New York Attorney Susan Chana Lask was amazed to find the Register not once but twice denied her a hearing and appointed a third party stranger to administer her mother's estate without any basis, and against the law. The lawsuit alleges that the Register denies hearings to qualified heirs so he can instead appoint his campaign contributors as administrators, who then reap financial gains by taking a percentage of the estates they're appointed to. The Complaint was filed July 12, 2006 in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Case No 06CV3066.... (Continue reading)
