For eighty-two games last season, the Detroit Pistons were the best team in the NBA. Now, just a few months later, they find themselves on the heels of a disappointing playoff loss to the Miami Heat and without their defensive anchor, Ben Wallace.

If someone were to tell you that basketball was created for white athletes and black players were both unable to understand the game or play well you would not only think that person is a racist, you would think they were absolutely insane. The thought that any race would be unable to play a sport is based on racial stereotypes and not founded in any sort of educational or real-life understanding. However, in the 1960s, college basketball was dominated by such thoughts. Teams had black players on the roster, but usually only played one or two per game. All this changed in 1966, when small Texas Western College from El Paso, Texas won an NCAA championship. What made that team so special? Don Haskins...

From the Golden Arches, to the Big Boy and Goodyear Blimp to the Michelin Man, these are the iconic symbols that represent America at its best - so recognizable that one glance instills a deeper meaning in just seconds. The Re/Max balloon is sort of an "icon in training", if you will. While it certainly hasn't reached Golden Arches proportions, it is still very recognizable and stands a symbol of our nation and the real estate market - for better or worse. In a local sense, it is possibly the most recognizable image for Missouri real estate. However, the balloon goes above and beyond its promotional status for...

Lately I have been coming across more and more real estate boards that having been banning the use of the word "MLS." They can't use it in print, radio, TV and especially Internet to convey the service they offer. The public knows what the MLS is and expects their agent to offer it. If they don't see that, they are going to go to the next guy that does. So if agents have their hands tied and the boards are selectively enforcing this rule, it makes for quite an unfair business environment. It's akin to a car salesmen not being able to use the word car because a corporate lawyer felt it was leaving the company open to a lawsuit because they were being bias to trucks and SUVs. The corporate lawyer...

It was a time, when there were demonstrations all across our Nation, dividing the country.
