  Business As Usual
But for now it seems to be business as usual, with the White House finding new and novel ways around our constitutional protections.
The gavel sounds, the hearing adjourns, and corporate executives shuffle off to an expensive luncheon in their business suits, confident that they have weathered yet another attempt to examine their ever increasing control of this government, and the nation it supposedly serves.
Business as usual, and the business goes on, one little step at a time.

  Business as usual - INQ7.net   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
I did not hear the business community complain that GMA was bankrupting the nation by siphoning public money with a vacuum cleaner to put up huge billboards across the length and breadth of the country-and hiring a horde of sweepers to sweep the walls clean of posters of her rivals.

 Business as usual - The Washington Times: Metropolitan   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
The answer involves a negative perception of the business world, education experts say — and it's depriving women of an important tool to enhance their careers.
"In business overall, I probably have to admit, there isn't a clear path for women to advance, and therefore the appeal of entry to women isn't as straight as say, law or medicine," says Dan Bauer, founder of the MBA Exchange, a Chicago admissions consulting firm.
The apparent answer is no. According to a 2000 study by Catalyst, a nonprofit research and advisory organization, and the University of Michigan, female graduates cited as barriers: a lack of female role models, incompatibility of careers in business with work-life balance, lack of confidence in math skills, and a lack of encouragement by employers.

 New Kind of Business as Usual
In the past decade, Horvath has reconfigured his business school to incorporate ethics and environmental coursework into its core program of studies.
And now his MBA program is leading the way -- along with the business schools at George Washington, Michigan, North Carolina, Stanford, and Yale -- in training business leaders to cope with a lot more than just the bottom line.
"We hope that business school graduates will have the skills to make business decisions in a complex global economy where environmental and social issues are key factors," said WRI's Meghan Chapple, a coauthor of the Pinstripes report.

I loved Crazy and F-19 (an experimental ditty if there ever was one), but was frankly puzzled by the addition of the live tracks from the "Brazil" album.

 Opinion: Business as usual
President Bush won't be able to cast himself as a serious reformer of the scandalous culture of Wall Street as long as the culture of his own administration is in question.
The president who came to office bragging about the business experience he and his inner circle would bring to the White House now bristles at fair questions about that corporate history.
It will take more than a couple of high-minded speeches to erase the impression that the president and many other top administration officials are too close, personally and philosophically, to the rapacious business leaders, compromised auditors and cynical stock touters whose lack of ethics led to the mass exodus of investor confidence in the markets.

 Business as Usual
The mood among business lobbyists, according to a jubilant official at the Heritage Foundation, is one of "optimism, bordering on giddiness." They expect the elections on Nov. 5 to put Republicans in control of all three branches of government, and have their wish lists ready.
In fact, it is so confident that it has already given business lobbyists the gift they want most: an end to all this nonsense about corporate reform.
But the S.E.C. is ludicrously underfinanced: staff lawyers and accountants are paid half what they could get in the private sector, usually find themselves heavily outnumbered by the legal departments of the companies they investigate, and often must do their own typing and copying.

 OpinionJournal - The Real World
And as with Oil for Food, which ran from December 1996 until the fall of Saddam in 2003, the timeline of IHC business with the U.N. starts in December 1996.
Picco's initial career with the U.N. had spanned from 1973 to 1992, and at the time he joined IHC he was in private business, running a consulting firm, GDP Associates, in New York.
But in an era when many authorities are worried about the transit of millions across borders and the enforcement of good governance, it appears the U.N. has been serving as a bazaar in which corruption, conflicts of interest and shadowy financial networks have found ways to set up shop.

 InformationWeek | Microsoft | Business As Usual? | October 15, 2001
Business customers were saying its products weren't scalable enough to run burgeoning Internet environments.
Future Microsoft.Net software could help businesses build networks that authorize wide swaths of people inside and outside company walls to use their systems-hard to do with client-server software-and disseminate company data to employees and customers' PCs, servers, and wireless devices.
