Neil Cavuto talks about balancing parenting and work in the Star-Ledger.

I haven’t met a mother or father who hasn’t wrestled with this issue of balancing home and work. Even the most hard-charging executive – male or female – doesn’t wince at missing a child’s game or recital. I’ve missed more than a few such events over the years with my daughter and sons. That’s why I make doubly sure to call and check how that game went. I’ve also discovered technology can be a wonderful thing. Between Skype and Apple Face Time, I always can connect with the family while on the road or on assignment. I know it’s cliché to say it’s quality time over quantity of time, but I’d be the first to admit, there’s no substitute to physically being there. Still, I also think kids are as perceptive as adults. When they see you’re making the effort, they see you’re still trying to make a difference.

Banks have been shut down and residents can only withdraw 60 euros from ATM machines, that is when they’re operating and if they’re not already empty. Citizens cannot transfer money abroad or pay bills using debit cards.  According to the Wall street Journal, Greece’s banking system has about 1 billion euros in cash left as of Wednesday. Unless the situation changes, the country will probably run out of cash in just a matter of days.

This is going to yield some good ideas and opportunities to grow, but not at the expense of the environment. We have to grow and we have to open up markets in the economy — the U.S. is growing 2 percent. Companies need to find windows. But how do you grow? This is an opportunity for the world to see that it can be done — and not just to make money, but to also ensure that we are living in a sustainable world.
