	Why does the fed keep raising interest rates when gas seems to be the main inflationary item? Bread and coffee cost the same so where is the inflation? Most of the increases in my business and personal life stem from trickle down from oil prices. 6 answers - Asked By: middleriverman123 - 7/8/2006

	What is a career in Supply Chain management like? Im in the business school at my university and I just wanted to know what a career in Supply Chain Management and logistic is like and about how is the compensation in that job area? 2 answers - Asked By: ebocka - 3/23/2009

	Does anyone know the true definition of a sub contractor/ Independant contractor? I think my boss is screwing me over. She has it stated that I am a "sub contactor" , even though she dictates how much vacation time, and sick days I can take off. She is also the one who sets the wage I work for. Is it just me, or is this backwards? I have been working at this place for 11 years now, and I am not sure what rights I have. If anyone has any GOOD and helpful advice, it would be much appreciated. I have tried to find info, but I'm not sure what is right or wrong. Does anyone know of someone I should speak too? I live in Ontario, Canada. I am a music teacher at a privately run music school. My "employer" does not pay my CPP or my EI. I know if I am self employed I pay for these myself, which I have been doing. However; shouldn't it be myself giving her the contract to sign, with my rates and expected vacation time? If I get none of the benefits that a regular employee would get, which no one is there, then my boss obviously has it backwards just so she doesn't have to take taxes off my cheque. The other thing is, if I decide to take a vacation, when I come back, I have to make up all the lessons that I have missed with my students, which means I work 6 days a week. If she is still continuing to pay me for my vacation, but I have to come back and re-do lessons I've missed. Does that make any sense? She refuses to find another person to fill in for me, because I have voice and piano in my program. Thanks for the help in advance! 6 answers - Asked By: Zuzu - 5/1/2008

	Is $225,000 insurance too much for this house? My husband and I are buying a short sale house for $162,000. The property appraiser's website has the house appraised at about $143,000 & total appraisal at about $180,000. It's a brick home w/ vinyl trim. 4 bedrooms, 2 baths. Maple cabinets w/ Corian counter tops. Carpet/Tile flooring. There is about 1700 sq ft living space & about 2600 total sq ft. The home was purchased new in 2007 by the seller for $219,000. The bank says the insurance coverage must be no less than our purchase price of $162,000, but the insurance company recommends more coverage due to not being able to rebuild for the price of $162,000. Would I be overpaying at $225,000?? 6 answers - Asked By: Misty - 6/11/2009
