But a Coral Gables website is among a few locally with faith it can succeed. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346401.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346401.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Richard D.

But it's hard to ignore incredible, ever-shrinking bank accounts. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346398.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346398.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST They want to work when it's convenient to their lives -- not punch in at some 9-to-5 job and be stuck sitting in a cubicle. They relish a challenge more than a paycheck, and resent it when bosses look over their shoulders or fail to reward them for a job well done. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346399.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346399.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Q: A few months after I became a supervisor, my manager ``wrote me up'' because of conflicts with my employees. These people used to be my peers, and they were upset when I was promoted. Since then, my boss and I have bumped heads over several other issues. She says I can't take feedback, which is true. I'm currently working on that, because I really want to succeed in this job. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346402.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346402.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST ACCOUNTING<p/> Gary Opper has been named managing member of Levie-Opper, a Miami-based forensic accounting firm.

Like those in uniform who also protect and serve, these healthcare providers must maintain professionalism, integrity, competency and ethics in challenging environments that are often ill-designed for healing and far from therapeutic. These healthcare providers advocate for and deliver services in the best interests of their inmate patients. The community ought to appreciate and support these efforts, even if only because the community's own health and safety ultimately benefit when proper care is given to inmates. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346404.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346404.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST HOMESTEAD<p/>WAREHOUSE SELLS<p/>FOR $1.75 MILLION<p/> Location: 701 S.

But sometimes my subconscious (probably) constructs mash-ups of books, leaving it to another part of my brain to sort things out. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346414.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346414.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Jill Angel thought she had it made.

Or even a pear tree, for that matter. Try out Grey Goose's new flavor, Le Poire (that's French, for, well, you guessed it). This crisp 80-proof spirit makes a nice package all by itself, with the frosted glass bottle that's sealed with a cork stopper and elegant foil closure. Just throw on a bow. From $29.99 at liquor stores. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346412.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/story/1346412.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST In such a precarious economy, some may wonder about the point of a corporate gifts at all.<p/> Who has spare change left in the 2009 budget to splurge on wrapped trinkets? http://www.miamiherald.com/602/story/1085748.html http://www.miamiherald.com/602/story/1085748.html Mon, 08 Jun 2009 08:11 EDT Six years after the death of an ambitious joint effort to make Miami a major healthcare destination for wealthy foreigners, a new group has formed to try to do the same thing -- for less money and without any attempts to disguise the fierce competition among local hospitals to lure well paying international patients. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1322565.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1322565.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 01:00 EST In South Florida's bleak real-estate market, houses for sale aren't the only glut. Churches and other religious properties, some of them bank foreclosures, are plentiful, and stuck in a commercial purgatory. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1288448.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1288448.html Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT South Florida's housing boom cratered fast and, like the epicenter of an earthquake, left a trail of destruction in its wake.<p/> But in the aftershocks of plummeting home prices, unemployment and continuing foreclosures, some professionals and entrepreneurs have found ways to make money amid the ruins. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1289196.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1289196.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Alexandra and Waldo Cruz moved from their Kendall apartment to Homestead, seduced by a yellow house with white trim, three bedrooms, two baths and a small yard in the back. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1288433.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1288433.html Sun, 18 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Most everyone involved in a foreclosure says they never wanted to go through the process in the first place: Not the homeowners at risk of losing their houses, not the banks that loaned them the money, not the judges who must rule on the cases. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1288053.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/business-monday/job-file/story/1288053.html Sat, 17 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT If you think the torrent of foreclosures affecting every city and nearly every neighborhood and street in South Florida is as bad as it can get, here is a harsh new reality: http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1346407.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1346407.html Mon, 23 Nov 2009 01:00 EST Like some people, I read several books at the same time and do a mostly good job, I think, of keeping them apart and discrete.

Craig Ferguson. HarperCollins. 268 pages.<p/> Acknowledged that this may seem to be a left-field choice for a biz book review but upon closer examination, maybe not. Two reasons: first, some of the best business advice comes from life itself, not just unambiguously mercantile situations. Second, in many ways, this really is a business book: Fergusons' story is an archetypal tale of the pursuit of the American dream . . . and not just in terms of achieving success by owning a house with a wife and 2.6 kids. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1288443.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1288443.html Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Here's your chance to read the latest business books and review them in The Miami Herald. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1288437.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1288437.html Mon, 19 Oct 2009 01:00 EDT Healing the Wounds: Overcoming the Trauma of Layoffs and Revitalizing Downsized Corporations.

Using the left and right parts of the brain in concert? Being practical and creative? Daniel Pink and a host of other major thinkers have been tooting that horn for years. Now dubbed ``convergent and divergent thinking,'' this notion is poised to enter the mainstream -- if it's not already there. http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1254863.html http://www.miamiherald.com/business/columnists/richard-pachter/story/1254863.html Mon, 28 Sep 2009 01:00 EDT I Love You More Than My Dog: Five Decisions That Drive Extreme Customer Loyalty in Good Times and Bad.
