| Friday, March 5, 2010 |
| When the networking giant Cisco recently experienced a 23
percent jump in quarterly profit and 8 percent gain in revenue, John Chambers,
the chairman and CEO, announced plans to hire as many as 3,000 workers —
despite an economy struggling to recover from the worst fiscal crisis since the
Great Depression.

| Reaching for the Innovation Gold |
| Wednesday, February 17, 2010 |
| Every two years, the eyes of the world are
trained on the Olympics, with each participating nation hoping to take home the
gold. Put simply, the games are an awe-inspiring event and, for me, a time of

America has lost sight of its competitive drive -- and edge -- when it comes |

| Investing and innovating with an eye toward
benefiting from global markets will directly result in more dollars for jobs

| In the next few days, over 50 million people-nearly one quarter of our nation's population-will be streaming onto campuses across the country. Even putting aside the sheer number of students attending school, the training of the next generation of leaders should be cause for excitement about America's future.

| Technology, the Road to Recovery, and Personal Prosperity |
| Thursday, August 13, 2009 |
| As we enter the sleepy days of summer few things of substance stick in the brain. We are more likely to dwell on the 40th anniversary of Woodstock than the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11. We should not. Rather than allowing the lunar landing to be a part of the coverage carousel that cycles stories in and then out every 24 hours, we should hold onto the |

| Doing What Works for the Short and Long Term |
| Friday, February 13, 2009 |
| The stimulus package exposed what we all hoped would have changed with a new President: That is entrenched perspectives unfortunately will not go away overnight.
