I've known bullies like that. I try not to associate with them. I don't care if that's how lawyers and politicians and businesspeople are expected to operate, like they're hunting for prey. I'll stay naive and pretend we've evolved.http://blogs.opml.org/amyloo/2008/01/24#notTheLeadershipStyleWeWant Write Better by Starting Early Writing- January 24, 2008 Leo Babauta, author of the oft-linked Zen Habits blog, has taken on the subject of writing, and writing productively, with a new blog project, Write to Done.

Socit Gnrale says it uncovered last weekend a fraud "exceptional in its size and nature," executed by a single trader, that has generated a loss of 4.9 billion euros, or $7.1 billion. As a result, France&39;s second-largest bank says it will seek emergency funds. The size of the fraud dwarfs the $1.4 billion loss created by...http://feeds.portfolio.com/~r/portfolio/top5/~3/222319880/Huge-Fraud-Rocks-Banking Housing Starts Plunge- January 17, 2008 Can the slump in housing get any worse Oh, yes, indeed, a new report shows.Starts on the construction of new homes plunged 14.2 percent last month, to a seasonally adjusted 1.1 million homes, the lowest since 1991, the Commerce Department reported.

Peter Drucker I travel a lot, so I spend a lot of time waiting in line at security, at the gate, on the tarmac. As I was standing in line recently, it occurred to me that mobile phone systems are a ready-made source of data that can be used to do continuous time and motion studies.
