		<description><![CDATA[Last Thursday I received an un asked for spider bite.  Since the shop behind my home has it&#8217;s share of the little eight legged critters I really should not be surprised.  But like so many things that happen to me these days, the bite got me thinking about Dr. Deming, and what he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   As Americans we just can&#8217;t seem to get past numbers.  Listen to any sports broadcast and you will be swamped with numbers.  &#8220;Ladies and gentlemen, this is ONLY the fourteenth time in six years that Andre Carter has hit a ground ball to second base!&#8221;  &#8220;Way to go&#8230;&#8230; Andre!&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[Though easily identified as conservative in my thinking, I have been scratching my head trying to figure out what happens to the new men and women we send to Washington.  It really seems that there must be a problem with the water.  To be fair (as if that were possible), the more liberal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After being exposed to the power, and dare I say, common sense, of the Deming approach to management, I suddenly felt very alone.  I found that I was surrounded with &#8220;successful&#8221; business owners that really believed that their methods worked just fine, and that all they needed was more customers to apply them to.

		<description><![CDATA[This is the worst business climate I have seen in Florida in 20 years.  Of course every business will want to look at any unnecessary spending but can I caution you.  The man that taught the Japanese quality methods taught them to &#8220;purchase by lowest total cost.&#8221;  What does this mean?  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The oil spill in the gulf will take years to fully recover from.  As a student of the management methods of the late W. Edwards Deming, I can&#8217;t help but wonder what the great doctor would have had to say about it.  Dr. Deming would have been asking questions.  Like what?  [...]]]></description>
