Now that the oil has stopped, enter — the lawyers
With each development in the saga of the BP Deepwater Horizons saga — death on the drilling platform, oil spreading throughout the Gulf of Mexico, fisheries shutdowns and costly cleanup efforts — new doors opened for attorneys and complex legal cases, including class action suits. At least 125 federal suits since April have named BP as a defendant, in Louisiana alone.

Smaller companies need help in closing the loop on leads
There is something rotten in the land of web-based lead generation. Businesses are adding a ton of new web-based lead-gen tools to their websites, but they are not reaping the rewards. We all know the saying that if you give a man a fish you feed him for a day but if teach him to fish you feed him for a lifetime. Apparently the same is true of leads.
Even in a difficult economy, a technology company with an excellent product, proven track record and demand in the marketplace has the opportunity to expand. For years that same potential for growth was unavailable in one of Massachusetts’ most important sectors: the public education system.
Internships provide graduates and employers with an edge
