Terrible PR
Analysis of: GM Sues to Recoup $450K in Employee Discounts | www.forbes.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
When GM is offering "employee discounts" to everyone, this seems like a terrible PR move.  I mean, seriously $450K is hardly a footnote on GM's balance sheet.  As a former Congressional Hill staff member, I can tell you that this will not play well when GM asks to be bailed out.

A NEW PROPERTY FOR STATION CASINOS - A GOOD OMEN IN A DOWN ECONOMY
Analysis of: SUN CITY ALIANTE-ABUZ WITH CASINO ANTICIPATION | www.lasvegassun.com
Author: Ron Lodge, Former Senior Marketing Executive (former), Venetian Casino Resort Inc
This property construction was started prior to the drop off in business. It's not the best scenario for an opening, however, it should stimulate some new business for this company. It's in a rather new residential area and should help the community it serves very well.

Until we get to "intent-based, situationally relevant" search, there is no vision
Analysis of: Is Microsoft's Vision of Search Enough to Catch Google? | www.businessweek.com
Author: Chicke Fitzgerald, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, LeisureLogix, LLC
We are still in the world of Search 1.0 at best.  As long as search engines don't care what my intent is or what my current circumstances are, then I will still get 563,000 results when I enter Travel Tampa in a search bar.  Is there anyone out there that really thinks that this is effective...

THE MACAU ECONOMY HAS BEEN EXCELLENT - WHY PUT A DAMPER ON GOOD TIMES??
Analysis of: TRYING TIMES LOOM FOR SANDS IN MACAU | www.lvrj.com
Author: Ron Lodge, Former Senior Marketing Executive (former), Venetian Casino Resort Inc
Is it my imagination or does China not have both oars in the water? Why try and curtail the profit structure of a very viable industry serving their country well? It's time that the policies of China work to help industry rather than hamper it. Hard to figure their motives...

Its all in the economy
Analysis of: STATION CASINOS REPORT A 2Q FALL IN REVENUE | www.lasvegassun.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
For years it was believed that gaming companies were immune to the ravages of the economy and in the past they had been, but not now.  Stations problems stem from a weak economy, high gas prices, lower housing and stock prices, nothing else.

STATION CASINOS SHOULD BE ABLE TO OVER COME THE SHORT FALL IN BUSINESS
Analysis of: STATION CASINOS REPORT A 2Q FALL IN REVENUE | www.lasvegassun.com
Author: Ron Lodge, Former Senior Marketing Executive (former), Venetian Casino Resort Inc
Having been an avid fan of Station Casinos for quite a long time, it always distresses me to see negative reports concerning them. Their second quarter reported loss does not seem to be outlandish. They have many thing on their plate at this time. The cost of doing business continues to rise as the...

Analysis of: Travelport Announces Second Quarter 2008 Results | www.examiner.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
The GDS model has sustained the neutral travel distribution model for a very long time.
