Some Thoughts On “Cyclist Tyler Hamilton Hands Over Gold Medal After Accusing Armstrong”

There is still no test for HGH. Endurance famous athletes have hemtocrit levels below normal due to increased plasma volume. UCI will ban a rider if his level is above 50%. Blood boosting with your own blood is virtually undetectable. So an endurance athlete with in the low to mid 40s could boost to 50%. Also, the T:E ratio used to bust athletes is again based on a normal population. Endurance training has been shown to actually drop testosterone levels, which makes sense when you look at the lack Read More...

Some Thoughts On “Erin Wasson’s Off”

I see the WSJ is moving closer and closer how to approach a girl People Magazine/NY Post/OMG.com level of journalism. This article has ABSOLUTELY no news or informational value whatsoever. It is about a tall, skinny pretty girl. Nothing else. Don't get me wrong - I am all for pictures and stories about tall, skinny hot chicks. But lets just cut to the chase and move right on down to other News International products: The Sun and The News of The World. Starting ASAP, the WSJ should have a daily: 1) Read More...

Thoughts On “Review & Outlook: Mitt Romney’s 59 Economic Flavors”

Romney's plan has too many parts and is not speciific enough. Now is the time for candidates to run on a platform for specific, serious changes away from the Obama/Pelosi/Reid policies. I urge everyone to take another look at Jon Huntsman's plan. I originally discounted Mr. Huntsman as a candidate because I did not believe he was conservative enough. Shame on me for buying into the media spin! Now, I think Mr. Huntsman may be the most serious candidate with a real simple business plan conservative Read More...

A Response To “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior”

Sorry, but I still see her treatment as abusive and she's setting up her daughters to develop masochistic tendencies or other maladies. Tough love isn't what Amy's practicing, she's engaging in emotional abuse signs and her daughters still depend on her for everything. When they grow up, I hope they disengage from both of their parents and get their story on record since Amy has made them fodder for the media with her book. I also hope that Amy is investigated for abuse, and btw, it's typical for Read More...

Opinion On “Accounting Board Backs Off ‘Mark to Market’ Push”

OUTRAGEOUS! Over 20% of the S&P500's earnings come from financials. And 100% of these earnings would disappear IF the financials were forced to mark-to-market, ie. tell the TRUTH. So thanks FASB. You are being complicit in a massive scam to deceive the investors in America's stock markets. They are investing in FALSE earnings. They are investing in a LIE. But not to worry, because the ONE thing FASB cannot LIE about is CASH FLOW, and as all the toxic garbage owned by the financials continues to destroy Read More...

Thoughts On “Obama and the Debt Crisis”

No one with such a deep and long-standing non-relationship with reality has the capability either to learn quickly what mess we are in, what we need to do about it, or develop leadership skills list skills worthy the name. Obama must go. That's all. There is no saving him or advising him---except thorough a very long, initially painful process that would take him several years to complete even if he is willing. This is no time for on the job training for someone charged with the most important job Read More...

A Commentary On “The Sleepless Elite”

I've been sleeping 6, 5, now closer to 4-5 hours, putting a dog to sleepll my life (less and less the older I get - I am now 52). There's so much to do! If I go to bed when my wife likes to - around 10ish, I read for up to an hour, then I am up by 1:00, at the computer, catching up on one of the two activist groups I head, read, blogging, etc. I go back to bed for round 2 at 6:00 or so, then up again by 8:00 naturally. Oh, but don't try to wake me when I'm asleep. When I do sleep, I sleep very deep, Read More...

Analysis On “‘A’ for Apple, ‘F’ for Yahoo: Grading Succession”

Succession planning is one of the most important functions of management of any Board of public companies, and any family in privately owned family firms. In fact, it's the Final Test of Greatness for almost any organization. Unfortunately, it also is one of the most unplanned functions of most organizations-be they publicly owned, privately owned, or non-profit. Having worked with many organizations on succession issues, it does not surprise me that several well known public companies have not fared Read More...

My Analysis On “Fouad Ajami: A Thrilling Spectacle in Tripoli”

I agree with many commentators that the future is not certain. I hope that the result will be a decent life for these people definition of fear Libya, that they will enjoy the fruits of their hard won and heavily paid liberty. Of course, a happy end is not at all certain at this time. However, no matter the immediate result, the fact that such an evil tyrant was toppled will be a net gain for everybody. There is a moral here, clear for everybody. A people has to be respected. Thinking of all tyrants Read More...

My Take On “Atlanta School Scandal Sparks House Cleaning”

The solution to cheating on current standardized cogat tests is simple, but no one seems to address it. Students of each grade level or test should be placed in a large room and given the test while multiple proctors (teachers) are available. When the tests are over, they are collected in one box and removed. I have administered tests this way early in my four decades of teaching and also took many tests this way myself in school. It is only when high-stakes NCLB was initiated that tests were suddenly Read More...
