An Opinion On “Details Emerge on UBS Scandal”
The necessary implications as to the total mismanagement vs. leadership of this company (albeit they are not alone) are nowhere to be found. Yet it is obvious this is a management failure. Without implying in any way that this man is responsible for what he has done, which is criminal, the question of management cannot be ignored. Frauds will always take place - and the swift punishment of the guilty is mandatory and required, practically, Read More
Some Thoughts On “The Weekend Interview With David McCullough: Don’t Know Much About History”
Sorry Lara, but history is never the study of diversity nor the study of all groups of people. It is the study of the past and the men and well behaved women rarely make history who lived during those times, the events that happened and the lessons we may learn from them. History is not about interpreting a time period through a 2011 mindset and sensibilities nor ignoring the great men and women for certain minor people that in spite Read More
Thoughts On “Jonah Lehrer on Pain Control and Psychology | Head Case”
John- as the IOM study on emotional pain which came out last then a month clearly indiocates there are still professionals who believe thast pain is nothing more then a subjective sensation with no underlying pathophysiology-and as you can see here-there are those who advocate meditation regardless of the underlying condition. And i dont dispute meditations effectiveness to alleviate the sensation of pain-but i do dispute it as a standalone Read More
A Commentary On “When Is Your Kid’s Food Allergy Really a Food Allergy?”
I have been in the allergy field for over 30 years. I do allergy SKIN TESTING and have had many patients over the years come in with their allergy BLOOD TESTING results. I have had VERY little correlation in the results! I have asked about as many people in the know as I could and have yet to get a definitive answer as to why the results are SO different between the blood results and the skin results.
The closest thing to a reasonable Read More
Commentary On “Strassel: The Democrats’ Blue”
Whi want to change my lifele you're at it Marty...
Should the sun explode, it would ruin the planet for all intelligent life, and for human life too for that matter.
Should a sizable meteor hit the earth, it would bring on another catastrophic climate change, and again kill all intelligent life, and human life as well.
Should I get out of bed this AM and hit a deer on the way to work, I might die. Oh My!!! Better just keep my head under Read More
Thoughts On “Naomi Schaefer Riley: Academia’s Crisis of Irrelevance”
Mr Hall: Methinks your bias against corporate research is personal and a bit naive. Remember, the transistor was developed by Bell Labs. Much types of research methods the current innovation that runs our technology businesses came from Xerox, IBM, TI, Intel, Apple and Microsoft. The internet was not a creation of university research but of the US Defense Department. Telecommunication interconnectivity was not a result of university research, Read More
Thoughts On “U.K. Court Orders WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Extradited to Sweden”
I'm amazed by those who are so ready to make excuses for Assange without first-hand knowledge of the facts. Apparently some are more equal than others in this world. Got it!

So you are a lawyer? You were there when the two (2) women were allegedly sexually assaulted? You dictate Swedish law? Wow, how good are you??? (Not!)

Opinion On “Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan Kills 13 in Shooting at Fort Hood Army Base; Suspect in Stable Condition”
This was a premeditated attack. Why else would he be giving his possessions away before he committed this act? Additionally, how to prepare for an interview did he train himself to fire pistols with the calm and accuracy he needed to kill 13 soldiers and wound 30 more. One has to prepare for this ahead of time. I believe he fully thought that he would not survive this act of terror and was ready to give his life for his cause. The Read More
My Analysis On “Schmidt Defends Google at Hearing”
@Frank McNeil. That is not true. True innovation is patenting the search google algorithm change so that other people can learn about it and improve upon it. Not keep it a secret so you can continue to make billions and exploit your power. Google is worse than Microsoft in the 90's. They position their products unfairly, they track the heck out of anyone who views their ads. They need to be better regulated and they are too big to as Read More
Analysis On “India Graduates Millions, but Too Few Are Fit to Hire”
Based on my experience with Indian based call center servicing Intuit customers, I totally concur with the assessment that the typical Indian call center employee can not communicate in American style English. The general managers of these service oriented business must be hamnmered by their off-shore customers about failures in effective english communication skillss.
It has been almost 50 years since I had to work for Indian graduates Read More
