Best MBA Textbooks
In this section of my site I am collecting all the required textbooks and recommended reading by the professors in all of my classes throughout the MBA program I took at George Washington University School of Business. I also added some books that were not in the original recommended list on the syllabus, but popped up during classroom discussions with instructors and my classmates. Plus a few books I came across on my own that I think could add value to the overall MBA learning experience. Collectively, these books probably make a mark of some of the best MBA textbooks used in business schools across the USA.
I put this list together so you could have an insight into the materials used in the MBA programs. Also, if there are extreme Do-It-Yourself-ers out there who want to gain the knowledge of the MBA without doing the actual MBA, they could easily 😉 do it on their own by using this list. Warning: it will still set you back by quite a few thousands of dollars , even if you only buy required textbooks.
From the vastness of the list you can easily deduce that I would not have time to read every single one of them from cover to cover. From the required textbooks I did my best to read assigned chapters (should I mention here that I failed to do that more often than I am willing to admit). Some of the recommended books I used as reference and skimmed selected chapters, others I did not have a chance to read at all, but they came highly recommended either by the professor or the classmates. So those books are on my personal wish list for reading in the future.
The list is not complete with all subjects as you go through it, and I will be adding more subjects and books regularly, until I have all of them on the list. Also, take into account that this list is a snapshot in time when I was taking the class. By the time you may read the list, the title of the book may change and most likely there is a more recent edition of the book on the market and in the classrooms. So, make adjustments accordingly.
Another important note – this list is neither exclusive nor exhaustive. Other business schools, and even other sections within the MBA program taught by a different professor could use different textbooks. Nevertheless, the list is exemplary and gives comprehensive and accurate insight into the materials used in MBA programs in many business schools in the USA.
I also give my personal rating of the book on a scale of five hearts. The rating is very subjective and reflects in part the easiness of the language, my personal interest in subject, comprehensibility, book organization, book presentation.
Therefore, for each subject there can be up to three categories of books:
- Required MBA textbook(s)
- Recommended MBA reading (by the professor)
- Optional reading
Financial Accounting
Required Textbook:
Financial Accounting: An Introduction to Concepts, Methods and Uses – ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Comment: I found this book relatively user-friendly. If not for the fact that Accounting was not my best friend, I would probably give it five hearts.
Optional Reading:
The Accounting Game: Basic Accounting Fresh from the Lemonade Stand
– ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
Comment: For those of you who are poets and have not had exposure to accounting prior to entering the MBA, here is an introductory ice-breaking book that I highly recommend to read before embarking on the heart-breaking subject of accounting. To this book I wholeheartedly give five hearts. To read a bit more extended review on this great book go to my Pre-MBA Reading List for Poets.
Data Analysis/Statistics
Required Textbook:
Data Analysis and Decision Making with Microsoft Excel, Revised (with CD-ROM and Decision Tools and Statistic Tools Suite) – ♥ ♥
Comment: I have a soft spot for statistics, even though I am a poet. Even though I had to struggle through the course, I still liked it. There is something fascinating for me in being able to dissect the past data and try to make forecast for the future based on numbers. Using hard numbers and scientifically-looking formulas gives those prognoses an air of legitimacy. This textbook, however, does not do good service to the subject from the poet's perspective. It is very dry, very dense, rather hard to understand. It was apparently designed by and for people with very strong quantitative set of mind. I got so frustrated with the book, that I asked professor to recommend an easier introductory text on statistics.
My professor was a math buff and he really tried to feel for me, so he recommended another book Complete Business Statistics (McGraw-Hill/Irwin Series Operations and Decision Sciences), that, in his opinion, would be easier to digest. I actually bought that book, and found it to be not easier at all. It was, though, a bit thinner. Read my post with more details on comparison of these two textbooks.
Optional Reading:
Basic Statistics: Tales of Distributions (with CD-ROM) – ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
While I was struggling with the two statistics textbooks mentioned above, I found this book which was in fact very helpful in getting me understand and appreciate graduate level statistics. You can find more detailed description of it in my post re-MBA Reading List for Poets. The language and presentation of this textbook is much easier to understand and you have a chance to actually tolerate if not fall in love with statistics.

The Great Fusion Race
Right now a race is on for the greatest technology humanity has ever created. Clean limitless fusion power is very close to becoming a reality. I would put two groups closer than any others to a breakthrough: LPP Physics and EMC2/Navy/Lockheed.
LPP physics is a small lab in New Jersey working on a dense plasma fusion device that is very close to the goal. They are raising money on Indiegogo to speed up the final step, buying a new, very expensive Beryllium electrode that may allow them to break even. Check it out on: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/focus-fusion-empowertheworld--3
As for the Navy/EMC2/Lockheed, they are working on a high Beta design sometimes called the Wiffleball reactor. They just published some results:
We may finally be on the edge of this amazing technology and, personally, I hope the LPP Physics people are successful so that the technology will be accessible for everyone. I am concerned that fusion power developed by the Navy and Lockheed Martin Skunk-works will be kept secret. You can see both presentations form the different groups on these links:
To me, this race to the greatest technology in our history is the biggest story of the year.

- energy,
- power,

Medical science is always trying to find new and innovative ways to solve long standing problems. Stroke and its resulting disabilities have frustrated medical researchers and patients alike. Once a stroke affects you and takes away your ability to think, move, and care for yourself, no one can do anything to bring those abilities back.
However, in the Eastern tradition, the practice of acupuncture has been used for centuries to help with all types of disability. Many acupuncturists make wild claims about the use of the therapy for stroke patients. From reversing dementia to regaining the feeling in a limb, some of these claims can sound pretty outlandish. It should be investigated, though, because if acupuncture can do half of what it claims, then it is well worth the effort to scientifically test it.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is based on the theory that your body is filled with a life force called chi. When the body experiences disease or discomfort, the theory states that the chi must be blocked from flowing correctly. By placing needles in specific spots where the chi flows, the practitioner can direct the energy, open up the blockage, and restore health to the patient. It takes experience and training to know where to place the needles and how to restore the chi to proper balance.
In the case of stroke treatments, there are two different types of acupuncture. The first type is plain acupuncture that merely involves using plain needles directed into the acupuncture sites located throughout the body. The more recent – and some say more effective – type of acupuncture involves attaching electrodes to the needles and passing a small current into the acupuncture point. This is said to increase the flow of chi and help to open up the blockages more quickly.
Science has studied acupuncture for years in the case of pain management and infertility. In some cases, it has shown benefit. The theory is that the placement of the needles stimulates the blood flow or other healing chemicals in the body, and this accounts for its successes. However, acupuncture remains hotly contested as pseudoscience in the medical community, and rigorous research studies are still ongoing to determine its place in modern science.
What are the Claims?
The claims for acupuncture as a treatment for stroke are nothing short of astounding. Some practitioners have claimed that contracted muscles slowly open up and can move freely. With the case of numbness on one side of the body, acupuncture has been identified as one of the only treatments to help restore feeling. Even the mental aspects of stroke, such as dementia, are reported to respond well to acupuncture techniques and improve cognitive function.
Studies into these claims are notoriously difficult. For instance, many of the claims are anecdotal. It seems to work for one patient, but finding consistent, repeatable results on a wide group of patients has been challenging. In addition, many of the studies are biased because they are conducted by those who practice acupuncture for a living. The studies that have been conducted on the ability of acupuncture to treat stroke outcomes have not been as positive as those conducted by practitioners in the field.
What Research Reveals
Scientific tests on acupuncture for stroke symptoms are not that promising. An analysis of several studies into stroke and acupuncture published in the medical journal Stroke in 2002 showed that it does not help motor recovery, but it does show some improvement in disability. However, since many studies do not meet the rigorous guidelines for scientific testing, it is difficult to get a large enough sample size to determine the efficacy of the treatment. The benefits that do seem to come from acupuncture may easily be related to a placebo effect. More studies need to be conducted to determine if there is any validity to the claims of acupuncturists.
A more recent study published in 2011 in the Canadian Medical Association Journal also looked at a wide variety of studies into the use of acupuncture after stroke. This study showed more definitively that there were no functional improvements in those who received acupuncture after a stroke and those who received "sham" acupuncture that puts the needles in the wrong place, does not sink them deep enough, or otherwise interrupts the flow of the treatment. The researchers do state that this method of testing cannot be fully trusted because the sham treatment may have some physical effect. While acupuncture offers hope as an alternative or complementary treatment for stroke, more scientific researches are needed before anyone can definitively claim acupuncture as a viable treatment for disability after a stroke.

Is there any stroke treatment to help me?
NeuroAiD™ is an oral stroke treatment made of 14 natural ingredients which helps patients recover better and faster from stroke.
Clinically safe and efficient, NeuroAiD™ stroke treatment has been proved to increase the production of new neurons in the brain and the connections among these neurons (neuroplasticity) as well as to build stronger neurons (neuroprotection). Hence, NeuroAiD™ creates a favorable environment for recovery.

In a speech filled with literary and historical references, Massachusetts Attorney General Martha Coakley advised 446 graduating Suffolk University Law School students to be active and courageous and to always bring integrity to their endeavors.
She acknowledged that this is a "tough year to be graduating from law school," then used the alphabet as a guide to life as a lawyer in her commencement address Sunday at the Bank of America Pavilion on Boston's waterfront.
"A is for activism … the best way for you to stay in shape and … the best way for you to keep the issues that you care about in shape," Coakley began.
She then encouraged the students to "Be somebody … who makes a difference."
Using humor to bring home some serious points, she quoted Mark Twain and made an association between the letter D and dogs, which she said could teach simplicity and "doggedness with a bone."
For the letter I, she focused on integrity. "The only thing worse than an incompetent lawyer without integrity, is a competent lawyer without integrity. … If your reputation for integrity is impaired, set that diploma on fire."
She used John Hancock, Thomas Moore and Don Quixote as examples of courage, adherence to the law, and living life "as it should be."
In the end, she said that, while lawyers are trained to sound good when they speak, it's important to have something to say that matters.
The College of Arts and Sciences and Sawyer Business School ceremonies were held in the afternoon, with award-winning journalist Ted Koppel speaking.
Suffolk University awarded the following honorary degrees during its 2009 commencement exercises:

And that its Feb. 5 performance at the Tilden Arts Center at Cape Cod Community College will showcase principals and soloists from the Dance Theater of Harlem, the Suzanne Farrell Ballet, and Ballet Monte Carlo? And that they will be dancing works by Harrison McEldowney, Edwaard Liang (of the New York City Ballet), and Peter Quanz as well as a world premiere by Snappy Dance Theater's Martha Mason?
If you don't, you're not alone. "We're nationally well-known," said co-director Catherine Batcheller, "but here people think they'd be coming to a dance recital." Leading dancers, choreographers, and musicians disagree, by the looks of the company's latest program.
"Configuration: A Ballet Ensemble for the 21st Century" was established in 1999 as the "Washashore Dance Ensemble" by Batcheller and her spouse, Joseph Cipolla, who are former principals of the Birmingham Royal Ballet, Dance Theater of Harlem, San Francisco Ballet, and the Stuttgart Ballet.
Configuration was selected in November as an "example of excellence" listed in the 2004 Massachusetts Catalogue for Philanthropy, one of 69 such organizations selected from more than 150 applicants.
The Feb. 5 performance will include "At the End of the Road," choreographed to the music of Irving Berlin by Harrison McEldowney, the ensemble's resident choreographer. The world premiere is "Ave Maria," to the music of Caccini, sung by Vyatcheslav Kagan Paley.
Peter Quanz's Corelli Variations returns as well, with a live piano accompaniment by Philip Kraft of Chatham, who graduated from Harvard College in 1972 with degrees in music and biochemistry, and later from Harvard Law School. He practices law in the Boston area.
Configuration has performed off-Cape at the Copley Theater in Boston, the Sorenson Center for the Arts in Wellesley, Symphony Space and Club in New York City, and the One World Theater in Austin, Tex. To date, the company has also provided 26 apprenticeships.
The company emphasizes diversity of style and background and was described by Dance Magazine as "a living art gallery with an international collection." Configuration will perform at the Tilden Arts Center at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 5 (tickets $18 to $26; call 508-945-4096 or 508-945-2867). On Feb. 4, the ensemble will dance at 8 p.m. at the Sorenson Center for the Arts in Wellesley (tickets $26; visit Bostix or call Ticketmaster at 617-931-2787 or www.artsboston.org)

Have you ever heard of Ree Drummond, aka The Pioneer Woman?
(Everyone nodding here!)
She's got a cute true-life romance book out about her
and her cowboy husband. My sister Beth liked it, and I have yet to read it,
but her story on her blog was funny!!
And she has a recipe book!
I have been wanting to make her Cinnamon Baked French Toast
for a while and last night I got started.
The recipe called for one loaf of crusty bread.
Since I didn't want to go out to the store, I started a loaf in my
handy dandy bread machine. When it was done baking,
I cut it in cubes and let it cool. I put together
the casserole and put it in the fridge overnight.
This morning, I preheated the oven and sprinkled on the crumb mixture
I had premixed the night before and baked it for about 45 minutes.
Here it is after I pulled it out of the oven. Mmmm...it smelled SO GOOD.
As I was checking my e-mail while it was baking, I came across Crystal's recipe for omelet on her blog, Every Day Food Storage, and found this recipe for Oven Denver Omelet. This recipe is good because it can double easily for a crowd and is a yummy way to use the powdered egg I have in my pantry. I had a few minutes before the baked french toast would be done, so I decided to whip this up, too. Why waste a hot oven?
I usually use powdered egg in baked goods, so I was wondering how they would taste in an omelet as one of the main ingredients. (It was a little crumblier than real egg but tasted just fine!)
By this time, my cute little 3 year old buddy was asking what I was up to, and was very happy to be invited into the kitchen. It turns out he is a superb mixer of eggs and cream! He happily whisked and chopped bell pepper with a butter knife. Kids make great sous chefs!
Eggs before oven:
Baked and piping hot...
Doesn't this look yummy? It smelled really amazing with that sweet nutmeg-y aroma...
And the eggs were a hit!
Kid Approved!
The baked french toast and oven omelet were perfect together!
If I were to make the baked french toast for just our family of six,
I would halve it and bake it in a 8x8 glass dish.
To serve the eggs to my family, plus guests,
I would double the recipe and bake it in a 9x13 glass dish.
This combination would make a great "company" breakfast!
Here we are, a couple of Happy Chefs and Breakfast Buddies!
Bon Appetit and Happy Weekend to you!

A+: Brevard County Manatees, @ St. Lucie Mets
Ppd by rain. You know, because it's summer in Florida.
A: Savannah Sand Gnats 9, @ Lakewood BlueClaws 8
This was actually a nice comeback as the Gnats trailed 6-1 before rallying for three runs in the sixth inning and four in the seventh to take an 8-6 lead. After the 'Claws tied the game in the eighth, the Gnats won it in the ninth on a pair of fielding errors sandwiched around a wild pitch.
Logan Verrett was hittable: 7 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 0 BB, 9 K, 2 HR. Good: nine strikeouts/zero walks and nine ground ball outs. Bad: 8 hits and two homers.
Good stuff: four different Gnats had two-hit days. CF Gilbert Gomez tripled, his first of the year, in a 2-for-4 night with a walk. The 20-year old is hitting .248/.333/.309 in 41 games with the Gnats.
With 1B Cole Frenzel back and playing, and Aderlin Rodriguez promoted to St. Lucie, Brian Harrison moved across the diamond to third base. He was 2-for-5 with a double and three RBI, including a two-double that put the Gnats ahead in the team's four-run seventh.

The name Alfie is of English origin.
The meaning of Alfie is "elf counsel".
In the U.S. in 2014, it ranked 8753 in baby name popularity for boys with 8 occurrences. Less than 5 girls were given the name.
View the Alfie Name Popularity Page to see how the popularity trend for Alfie has changed since 1880, or to compare the popularity of Alfie to other names.
Alfie is a diminutive (nickname) of Alfred.
Alfred is derived from Old English name Aelfraed. It is composed of the elements aelf meaning "elf or supernatural being" and raed meaning "counsel".
As most Old English names were replaced by Norman ones after the Norman conquest, Alfred (along with Edward) is a rare example of a distinctively old English name that is used widely on the continent. In both cases it was probably due to the fame of royalty associated with the name, in this case Alfred the Great.
Alfie falls into the song name category.
Just for fun, see the name Alfie in Hieroglyphics, learn about ancient Egyptian Hieroglyphics and write a Hieroglyphic message.
Learn about nautical flags and see your name or message written in nautical flags, on the Alfie in Nautical Flags page.
Looking for something more mystical? Visit the Alfie Numerology page.
Biblical names are still very prevelant. Nature, literature, mythology, celebrity, surnames, variants of traditional names and newly invented names are all sources of English given names.
The evolution of English names in the U.K. can be traced to the various conquests and ruling power changes of its early history. The evolution of English names in America has been more influenced by the various influxes of immigrants from different parts of the world during different times in its history.

Invest to Save: Report and Recommendations of the NSF-DELOS Working Group on Digital Archiving and Preservation
2003) Invest to Save: Report and Recommendations of the NSF-DELOS Working Group on Digital Archiving and Preservation . (
Digital archiving and preservation are important areas for research and development, but there is no agreed upon set of priorities or coherent plan for research in this area. Research projects in this area tend to be small and driven by particular institutional problems or concerns. As a consequence, proposed solutions from experimental projects and prototypes tend not to scale to millions of digital objects, nor do the results from disparate projects readily build on each other. It is also unclear whether it is worthwhile to seek general solutions or whether different strategies are needed for different types of digital objects and collections. The lack of coordination in both research and development means that there are some areas where researchers are reinventing the wheel while other areas are neglected. Digital archiving and preservation is an area that will benefit from an exercise in analysis, priority setting, and planning for future research. The WG aims to survey current research activities, identify gaps, and develop a white paper proposing future research directions in the area of digital preservation. Some of the potential areas for research include repository architectures and inter-operability among digital archives; automated tools for capture, ingest, and normalization of digital objects; and harmonization of preservation formats and metadata. There can also be opportunities for development of commercial products in the areas of mass storage systems, repositories and repository management systems, and data management software and tools.

Event Details
11/14/2013Location: Longfellow House-Washington's Headquarters NHS Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Isaac Edrehi, one of the early Jews of Boston, inspired Longfellow's mythical character "The Spanish Jew" in Tales of a Wayside Inn. But what was he really like? The son of a well-known scholar, the charismatic Edrehi traveled about in a number of foreign guises, making his living by questionable means. How Longfellow hosted and was inspired by this "living Arab" will be dramatized by actors Ian Pomerantz and Jonathan Remmers--along with Edrehi's other flamboyant exploits. Based on historical accounts recently discovered by our presenter, Joyce Michel of Hopkinton.
This event will be followed by a multi-ethnic reception in the spirit of Edrehi.

Entertainment Report: Jay Cutler And Kristin Cavallari…Again?
September 20, 2011 8:15 AM
Kristin Cavallari did an awesome job on Dancing With The Stars yesterday. According to some reliable sources Jay has been trying to get back with Kristin, sending texts and emails to the blonde beauty. Last night he retweeted a post by Kristin including, "good luck BABE." Should the couple get back together?

I'm afraid that I'm in the group that already regards Jessops as a lost cause.

The Worst Interview in the History of Dance
Growing up, I, Shelby Fero, always dreamt of becoming an ace reporter – digging up scoops and giving hard-hitting interviews. I'd even have my own cool Edward R. Murrow sign-off like "I'm done now!" or, "Goodnight and Good Luck!" (I wasn't very creative or original as a kid.) So when I was offered the chance to interview David Arquette and his partner Kym Johnson behind the scenes of Dancing with the Stars, I did what any other Lady/Professional would do to prepare: ate two bags of jellybeans and wondered if he was that guy in Scream or not.
So here I present to you, what is correctly titled, The Worst Interview in the History of Dance.

You won't get what you don't ask for. That's a given. But so is, You can't always get what you want. That's the end of most lawsuits for one side or the other.
Take Wade Oil & Gas, Inc. v. Telesis Operating Company, Inc., et al, for example. Wade, an oil and gas properties broker, entered into a contract with Telesis in which Wade was granted "the exclusive right to solicit and seek offers" to purchase a property for three months in return for a sum of money and an overriding royalty interest. Telesis received an offer from the buyer during the three-month term, sold the property to the buyer with little to no involvement from Wade, and did not assign the override to Wade. Wade sued, arguing that it was owed the override because the offer was received during the exclusive listing period.
Unfortunately for Wade, the contract didn't say what Wade thought it said (or at least, what he wanted it to say). The agreement read as follows:
"If any offers are received to purchase the Property by Telesis Operating Co., Inc. within 180 days after the [3 month term] that were identified by Wade to Telesis [. . . ] during the [ 3 month term] and a sale is consummated, then Telesis [. . . ] shall be obligated to compensate Wade"
Because Wade did not 'identify' the buyer to Telesis, Telesis was not obligated to compensate him with the override. Wade argued that he had an exclusive right to sell the property during the term, but he did not. Instead of Wade obtaining an exclusive right to receive offers and sell, Telesis "reserved its right to sell the property independent of Wade."
Wade lost out on a large sum of money because his contract didn't say what he intended it to say; instead it created ambiguity.
It might seem silly to reiterate so frequently the notion that your contract needs to clearly state what you want and expect to come from the agreement and the relationship, this case reminds us that contracts don't always get written that way.
The takeaway: Negotiate for what you want and then verify that your agreement explicitly states what you intend. Ambiguity works pretty well for presidents and members of Congress, and in some religions (think Episcopalian, but not Baptist)

Campaign for Student Housing at Louisiana College
"...the founding of the College exerted a singular influence in the unifying of the denomination. "
"...for long ago the Convention determined that at all costs that (Louisiana) College must live."
"In every instance since its inception the Convention has responded with one voice. "
- Glen Lee Greene
House Upon A Rock
The Churches that make up the Louisiana Baptist Convention have supported Louisiana College since the beginning of our institution in 1906. Today, meeting the needs identified for Student Housing at Louisiana College are more important than ever. For LC to recruit the best and brightest our Student Housing Facilities must be renovated. Please take the time today to Pray for Louisiana College as we prepare future Christian Leaders and Pledge to the Capital Campaign for Student Housing at Louisiana College.
Some Insight
Louisiana College and the Louisiana Baptist Convention find themselves joining in one of the most monumental opportunities in the history of the lives of each institution. Louisiana College, "The Pride of Louisiana Baptists", has experienced tremendous growth in the last few years and finds itself in great need of renovating and improving its student housing. Not only has the College outgrown its capacity for student demand for housing, but some of our dormitories like Cottingham Hall haven't been upgraded for over 70 years. Student housing is the number one need on our campus. Along with the growth of the College coupled with the need for updating of these aging facilities, the Convention and College have the opportunity to repeat what they did in 1971 when the two entities came together to fund and build Guinn Auditorium. Louisiana College is challenged in growth and retention of students because of inappropriate housing. We have the finest faculty and staff to be found anywhere. The College is graduating young men and women who are truly dedicating their lives to LC's Mission, "to change the world for Christ." We have no choice but to provide a comfortable and decent place for our students to live while receiving the best Christian education to be found anywhere. Our partnership will transform our College and Convention for generations to come and will allow us to remain, "the Pride of Louisiana Baptists."

Scott Jagodzinski was the Twin Cities' top Mo Bro last month.
The Eden Prairie man raised close to $7,000 as part of Movember, which is a decade-old worldwide movement encouraging men to grow mustaches during November to raise awareness about men's health issues including prostate and testicular cancers.
"Mo Bros," or men who pledge to grow facial hair for the month, register online, and visitors can donate money and track their progress.
This year, more than 6,000 men and women in Minneapolis and St. Paul raised nearly $450,000 in support of men's health, and participants across more than 20 countries raised close to $100 million, said Aaron Brost, president of Ro-Bro Marketing and Public Relations.
Jagodzinski heard about Movember from members of his Crossfit gym in Minneapolis. The men formed a team online, and the usually clean-shaven Jagodzinski started growing out his beard for a good cause.
"My father-in-law has had prostate cancer," Jagodzinski said. "And a buddy of mine in our 40s had it. All of the sudden these things kind of came together and I thought, 'I'm going to do this.'"
According to the National Institute of Health's National Cancer Institute, almost 250,000 American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2013. A man is 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer, according to the Movember website.
Jagodzinski reached out to his network of friends and colleagues in the Twin Cities to support his salt-and-pepper stubble.
"I sent out emails asking for support, and I'd play around with the subject line and say 'I care about your prostate,'" Jagodzinski said.
"I thought it would generate some sort of intrigue or disgust or at least a response."
And the response Jagodzinski received was overwhelming; he ended Movember at the top of the Minneapolis leader board.
Individually, Jagodzinski raised close to $7,000, although he's expecting more checks to come in, and he's already planning out his marketing campaign for next year to stay on top.
"I started doing it for the right reasons, and the competition aspect was like an accelerant," Jagodzinski said. "Now the stakes are raised for next year. I need to hit the market hard in October."
More than money, though, Jagodzinski has raised awareness for an important cause.
"This is a real issue," Jagodzinski said. "On the men's side, for prostate and testicular cancers, they need more attention to help improve the odds. If people can put some time and energy to help every guy that's out there -- we all win from that."

Owner has his Gallardo destroyed to make a point.
Reportedly, someone in China was so pissed off that his Gallardo didn't work after being serviced by his Lamborghini dealership, he hired
the cast of Blue Man Group Beijing a group of identically-dressed men with sledgehammers to publicly destroy his sports car. The violent act was performed on World Consumer Rights Day; the owner supposedly had the car smashed in order to draw attention to the fact that he felt Lamborghini wasn't respecting his rights as a consumer. (Meanwhile, approximately 500,000 Chinese citizens imprisoned without charge or trial also feel their rights aren't being respected, but apparently lack any exotic sports cars they can use to draw attention to their cause.)
Hey, Mister Richie Rich Chinese Fellow—word of advice. If you have the means to own a Lamborghini in a country where the average citizen makes around $6,000 a year, hiring people to destroy your car to prove a point probably won't win you much respect. In fact, it just makes you look like a money-wasting douchebag. Which you probably are. Don't take out your problems on a perfectly good Lamborghini. [via MSNBC, Jalopnik]
What a foolish waste!
This text is in Spanish: No se como pueden hacerle esto a un Lamborghini, es como destrozar el cuadro mas hermoso de todo el mundo, se les tendría que caer la cara de verguenza.

Hamid Kachmar's "Intricacies"
- Views: 33197
Hamid Kachmar, a Moroccan born painter is now featured in an exhibition entitled "Intricacies" at the Parish gallery in Washington, DC. Mr. Kachmar is a multifaceted, internationally trained artist of indigenous Moroccan Amazigh ancestry. His materials and techniques evoke metaphors, moods, and expressions from where he grew up and what he experienced during his studies and travels. His work is mostly, not entirely inspired by his Amazigh culture, his philosophy of life and survival and its embodiment in "poetic objects" such as weaving, wood carving, and body adornment, and he strives to employ universal metaphoric content to his work. MoroccoBoard TV, in this documentary, directs a spotlight on this unique and talented Artist.
"I have recently been investigating the process by which transient and fugitive identities take place while collective cultural ones endure global osmosis in order to preserve their peculiarities. Although we live in a more cross-cultural and interconnected world we strive to understand, communicate, and express ourselves due to implications of cultural idioms, dislocations, alienations, and hegemonies. Translating that to my art, I consider my surfaces as spaces of transience, interaction, and transformation. They are constructed out of several intricate and interwoven visual elements. Identity, memory and daily encounters are the crux of my creative endeavor."
Mr. Kachmar received his BA degree from Meknes University in Morocco in 1995 and his MFA from Howard University in 2006. He teaches at the Children's Studio School for Arts and Architecture in Washington, DC along with lecturing at Howard University.
For the past 12 years his works have been shown in exhibitions in Washington, DC, Virginia, Oregon, New England and North Carolina, along with exhibits in France, Spain, and Morocco.
He has been the recipient of several awards from Howard University and is an active supporter of Moroccan American children art workshops.

Our Artists need all the help they could get. I had great hope in Touria Jabrane to change things a bit but so far is the same old same old. I guess money talks. Her ministry does not get enough dough to be able to make a change.
Events such as these can only help. When Nawal moutawakil and Aouita won the Olympic medals, things changed dramatically in Athletics, lets hope the same can happen to Art.
(Hamid Kachmar is a descendant of a nomadic Berber tribe in Tafilalet, a region in the southeastern part of Morocco. His materials and techniques evoke metaphors, moods, and expressions of where he grew up and his travels experiences. Kachmar's fanatical use of natural pigments, most of which are from his mother's dying repertoire include, walnut, madder, henna, and saffron....thei r preparation is part of his alchemistic approach to creativity. He uses textured surfaces to convey memory's persistence and perseverance: colors are of earth tones - warm shades of yellows, browns, reds, ochre's; colors from southeastern Morocco. Most of the materials have a sort of "sacred" value or a close relationship with his background; wool, wood and sand are of a major presence in his work. His goal is to bring his cultural heritage to speak across time and cultural borders. By incorporating symbols of the alphabet "Tifinagh," weaving, architecture and body adornment patterns, he captures the wisdom of Berber myths and tales and by communicating its imaginative energy. "I'd like to consider myself, along with historians, writers, poets and architects, a perpetuator and a guardian of human heritage and gatekeeper of a collective visual memory.")
Thank you Hamid for inviting me and thanks to Moroccoboard for the great coverage. I hope we see more HAMIDs in the future. Great jobs guys!
Merci Kachmar pour cette exposition qui démontre encore une fois que lHomme amazigh a su, et ce depuis la préhistoire, entretenir un patrimoine admirable, une mémoire collective millénaire et une croyance incontestable dans la noblesse de lart et de la culture des peuples.
Tes tableaux sont magnifiques comme toujours.

Enlist a friend (or two) to shop with you. Divide up your lists and conquer long lines together! You may need someone to help save your place in line or heft those heavy bags! (image)
Opt for a cross-body handbag to ensure hands-free (and hassle-free) shopping. Be sure to pack the essentials: a fully charged cell phone, shopping lists, chapstick, and hand sanitizer. (image)
Fuel up before you shop! If you're heading out in the wee morning hours, be sure to stash a protein-packed snack like trail mix in your bag—as well as plenty of water and coffee in your car! (image)

Take a tour with me?
Let's go to Walking Street.
Stepping onto Walking Street is like entering an entirely different world. A darker world. On Walking Street, vice is screaming out. Evil doesn't lurk in the corners; it blatantly accosts you. Perversion has no shame. It's in the screaming music blaring from the bars, it's in the blinding neon signs lighting up the street – signs advertising establishments like Lucifer's Disco and No Rules Bar.
Girls and ladyboys line the street, scantily dressed. The girls are young. Some younger than I am. Many of them have numbers pinned to their clothes, because that's all they are here. A number, a price to pay for a night's services. Bought and sold as business transactions.
As we walk, people outside the bars and brothels push papers under our eyes. They look like menus. But these are no restaurants we're walking past. The papers are listings of sexual services.
A few of the bars are advertising European girls. These lighter-skinned beauties fetch a higher price than their Asian counterparts. I look up and see a blonde-haired girl dressed like a ballerina, her lithe limbs twirling gracefully around a pole. Her eyes are glazed over and her face is expressionless. She is probably drugged. She is closed off from the world in a little glass room overlooking Walking Street, and a crowd of onlookers is gawking from below, taking pictures of this graceful, spinning, trafficked ballerina.
Most of the bars are open to the street, but a few of them are closed off by curtains or doors. "You really need to see what's inside, Dana," my friend says. We walk up to one of them, and a woman pulls back the curtain to let us in. The scene inside was like nothing I had ever seen before, or desire to ever see again.
As we continue walking, it's as if a heavy, oppressive darkness is weighing down upon my chest, pressing against me on every side. We are walking through a thick shroud of darkness, a physical cloud of evil and oppression. You can feel it. If you don't believe in spiritual warfare, then come to Pattaya.
When I exit the bar- and brothel-lined street, there is some relief for my eyes and ears, but not for my mind. It's almost midnight and I should really get home, but instead I walk for awhile, needing to clear my head. I am blinking back tears. The images I saw are seared into my mind. When I close my eyes, all I can see are faces like that of the expressionless, pale-faced girl, twirling around in her glass cage like the ballerinas in the music boxes I had as a little girl. Did she ever get to be a little girl?
Sleeping was a futile effort that night. Instead, my heart was breaking for the brokenness all around me.

This insightful and practical guide for parents shows how we often undermine rather than encourage our teens' success on one of the most stressful standardized tests--the SAT--and what strategies will remedy the problem. In recent years this test has taken on fearsome proportions, matched only by the growing competition for slots at major universities. Success is now as much a matter of navigating the maze of changing testing structures, crippling self-conceptions,… (plus)

Hello and welcome to my BITS blog. I thought it would be fun to write entirely in acronyms, but then I thought again. Bear with me. I've started a few blogs in the past using various websites and they are now floating in the netherworld of the webosphere – unfinished, unattended, and forgotten about. This time will be different! (Dang it.) This time I will try to provide you, Bard faculty, students, and staff, with daytime diversions into my life as a technophile. Hopefully, I can introduce to you tools, software, and sites that will interest, entertain, or actually make your life noticeably easier at your desk and beyond. What do I know? I'm fairly new to this blog thing. If you have questions, comments, or suggestions, well – email me. Allowing comments makes for some major spammage.
The first thing I'd like to introduce you to is Dictionary.com. Lo and behold the available dictionary, thesaurus, and encyclopedia there! Throw away that chunky set of Britannicas you've got in the attic. (Oh, alright, donate them.) Better than the dictionary, they also have a word blog called Hot Word. And no, it's not too cool for this school. I'm a crossword puzzle and scrabble fanatic, so I'm liking all things word. Word up, man. Check back every once in awhile, will ya?

Star Trek Voyager ended in 2378. Star Trek Voyager went off from air in 2001. I think they should set a new series some time 15-20 years in the future, as there always seemed that Star Trek people aged slower (because of medical advancement I think). So the idea is that we could have cameos from previous series, I really want to see an Ezri cameo, a Annika Hansen cameo, a Chakotay cameo, a Jake Sisko cameo and so on so on ... As for the Andromeda Galaxy, I must say I could live with the idea of exploring the Andromeda Galaxy but in a way like DS9 explored the Gamma Quadrant: though a double way wormhole. You are right that Star Trek is about exploring, but they have established a huge basis with the almost 700 previous episodes and I really want to see some Klingon, Romulans, Vulcan, Cardassian, Earth based stories too, not just the unknown ... And for me the most important points are as previously stated: good and clever writing, good acting, great stories all around not where is set. But I really don't want a show which does not use already established races and situations ...
Well, that's explain a lot. I understand now. So, new ideas that cross the border of the current Star Trek concept will be rejected in here; thanks.

One of the simplest ways to prevent your child from getting sick.
If there is one thing a parent can do to help prevent illness in children, it has to be hand washing. And no wonder considering 80% of all infectious diseases are transmitted by touch. And a quick rinse under running water doesn't do the trick. Instead it's recommended that hands are scrubbed with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. Lynn Wilcott with Food Protection Services at the BC Centre for Disease Control elaborates on the health benefits of hand washing. "Hand washing is huge and what I'd like to recommend to all parents: if they're going to teach their child one thing, and that's to teach them how to wash their hands properly, with, you know, warm water and soap and teach them to wash their hands regularly and this goes a long way for preventing food borne illness, but it also goes a long way to preventing other things like getting a cold and getting the flu."

2006 Suzuki Boulevard C50T from United States of America
I love this bike
General Comments:
Very very nice bike. I liked it the first time I saw her, and anyone who looks at the bike thinks it is a Harley.
It rides like a baby; it's very easy to make turns.
It is not very heavy bike, so if you go in a pot hole you can regain control…
Would you buy another motorcycle from this manufacturer? Don't Know
Review Date: 21st December, 2008
1st Mar 2013, 13:58
Own a 2006 Boulevard. Have 16000 miles on the bike. Added a Mustang seat. Would ride around the world if I could.
For the money you can't beat it, and I really think the higher price bikes aren't any better. Have nothing bad to say about the bike.
I'm 58 years old, and make a couple of hundred miles rides regularly.
The bike will go as fast as you need to go. Can't complain. Roll tide roll.
12th Mar 2014, 12:57
I also have a 2006 C50T. Bought it used in June 2012 with 4,500 miles on it. Now has 15,000 care free miles.
It came with Saddleman Jumbo throw overs, which I converted to bolt on, driving light bar and lights, windshield and sissybar and back rest. I added throttle lock.
The bike is the perfect size and weight for me, has plenty of power (I ride solo).
I do oil changes every 3,500 miles with a filter every other change. Would like a tach, six speed trans, disc brakes all around and a better seat, but for the price, it cannot beat it. Can do oil and filter in an hour or less. A similar size Yamaha is a nightmare to do. I know, I just did my buddy's bike. No more of that.
All I need now are engine guards with soft lower covers. I also added a 90db buzzer to my directionals to remind me to turn them off. Only problem, they're hard to hear with my helmet on.
27th Sep 2015, 21:24
I was expecting and getting around 47 MPG when I first got my bike. I now have close to 30,000 and am getting 55-57 MPG. This is with the recommended regular 87 octane gas, with mixed around town and regular highway speeds. I'm wondering what other owners are getting on their C50t? I'm also riding single, no two up.

The Internet is forever, and so is what you say when you're online, but that doesn't necessarily have to be the case.
A new Californian law enables minors to take down their online activity should they want to, the SFGate reports.
Of course, the idea is a very good one and even Google's Eric Schmidt suggested something similar earlier this year. He then said that the Internet should have a "delete" button for those who want to remove troubling information from the Internet.
Well, California's governor Jerry Brown wants to do exactly that. The new law doesn't require companies to delete records from their servers when minors demand it, but simply that they take it offline. The rule covers photos, data or other online activity generated by the individuals who make the requests.
There are some limitations to the new law, namely teenagers cannot force companies to take down posts made by other people or their own content reported by others.
The new piece of legislation will go into effect in 2015.

For plenty of middle-aged men across the country, it's the most wonderful time of the year (cue the poorly-timed holiday music.)
Football at all levels is just around the corner. And with the return of football comes the chance for everyone to become a champion … of their respective fantasy football league.
I've reveled in fantasy football over the past several years. Yet I don't claim to be an expert, by any means.
What I can offer you, though, is some advice on what not-to-do when drafting your fantasy football team.
And after a weekend comprised of two drafts -- one with a lump sum of money attached to it -- I feel as though I've grown from a young grasshopper to a wise sense in terms of how to avoid a poor draft.
That, and I'm talking up my teams as best I can, trying to reassure myself that I didn't make any mistakes.
So without further ado, here is some rational advice from a seasoned vet on what to avoid in your drafting war room:
1) Being green
Going green is one of the better things you can do for the environment. Being green going into your draft could prove disastrous.
Making sure you've read up on the league rules and regulations is a must, especially if you and your friends score in an unorthodox fashion. Also, make sure you know which pros are injured, or simply not playing.
No one wants to be that guy who drafts Rob Gronkowski, who won't be back until mid-September at the earliest (this guy!).
Even worse is the guy who drafts Aaron Hernandez and pencils him in as their backup tight end (not this guy!).
2) The player who's past his prime
Sometimes it's tough to pass on the Randy Moss's of a generation, but if you're still planning on drafting Chad Johnson, you might as well call it a year right now. Johnson, while still listed as an available player on Yahoo.com, has yet to land on a roster and probably won't, ever again.
While an extreme case, avoiding players similar to those in Johnson's situation (i.e. Willis McGahee, Plaxico Burress, Tim Tebow) is a must.
3) Playing favorites
It's hard not to play favorites when someone from your favorite team is on the board. But if you draft five offensive players from the Buffalo Bills, you're not making the playoffs this year, or any year.
It's alright to choose one, maybe two players from your favorite team, but don't bog yourself down by drafting the whole team. If the offense has a bad week, no one will score you any points.
Likewise, try to avoid doing the same with any team, even if they do happen to be an offensive powerhouse.
While drafting Aaron Rodgers and James Jones may seem logical due to the big-point possibilities, it could blow up in your face if Rodgers has an off week and throws three interceptions.
4) Overdrafting
There are several forms of overdrafting to discuss. The first is when you should draft your defense and kicker. Before this year, I had always been one to try to fill up my entire starting roster before filling in my bench positions. It only seemed natural to get a good defensive/special teams unit and kicker before the top teams and players were gone. However, drafting a kicker in the 10th round (of a 14-round draft) just because you want to round out your starters is not a good idea. Trust me, I would know.
Instead, wait for someone else to break the seal on defensive/special teams units and kickers. You may not get the top option at those positions, but it gives you a chance to strengthen your bench for when you'll need to replace someone on their bye week, or an injured player.
The second form of overdrafting is in regards to those crucial first couple of rounds when all the top talent is flying off the board. If you still need a running back and are afraid you won't get a good one, it doesn't mean you need to draft a mediocre one with your second round pick. I'm sure that mediocre back will still be available in round three, or four, or five, or maybe six. Instead, go after another position that you haven't filled yet, such as wide receiver or quarterback. Those players will be just as crucial to your team's success, maybe even more so than your first pick.
Once again, just because Tom Brady and Drew Brees are off the board, it doesn't mean you need to go into panic mode and draft Philip Rivers sixth overall because you're worried you won't get a decent QB in the later rounds.
Speaking of Rivers …
5) Never Draft Philip Rivers
Part of this advice is fact, and part of this advice is pure pent up anger that hasn't yet dissipated. But all of it will save you from a dreadful second half of the season (December and January; i.e. the most crucial part of the year) that has you consulting a Magic 8-ball, a shrink, and a Ouija board to see who is going to have the better Week 15 performance: Rivers or Mark Sanchez.
And yes, this situation actually happened.
Stick to these draft day tips, and your team shouldn't have anything to worry about, well, at least until the regular season starts. Then you're on your own. I don't give free agency advice. I'm not paid for that.
Speaking of payment, should you happen to win your league, I'll take a 25 percent advisory compensation in check form.
But cold hard cash works, too.

On September 11, 1851 Maryland slaveholder Edward Gorsuch, his son and five others went to Christiana, Pennsylvania in search of four freedom seekers. The freedom seekers were living with William Parker, a former slave.
Parker, the freedom seekers and other free African Americans attempted to prevent Gorsuch from capturing the freedom seekers. Caster Hanway, a Quaker neighbor, tried to prevent the group from resorting to violence, but Gorsuch was killed and Parker, the four freedom seekers, and others escaped to Canada.
A company of U.S. Marines joined U.S. Marshalls in a house-to-house search of the neighborhood, and Hanway and 40 others (38 of whom were black) were charged with treason in trying to resist the Fugitive Slave Law.
Abolitionist and women's rights advocate Lucretia Mott attended their trials, which were held at Philadelphia's Independence Hall. On December 11, they were acquitted of treason.

I just wanted to say "thank you" so much for your products my old girl, recently passed, had suffered from seizures, food allergies and skin issues all her life and it wasn't until I found the honest kitchen that all her symptoms went away. It got to the point that I didn't even remember that she had them. People would stop me when they would see her and ask me what I was feeding her because her coat was extremely shinny. I wish I had found your products before. Now I have my other three dogs on it and I will never change them back to kibble. It is true that it is a little expensive especially when you have more than one dog, but when you love them like family that expense is nothing compare to the health your dog. So simply put "Thank You."

The sound created by a handsaw is a beautiful, ethereal sound, very similar to a woman's clear singing voice. The saw is generally played with the player seated with the handle squeezed between the legs, and the far end held with one hand. To make a note, a sawist must bend the blade into an S-curve. The parts of the blade that are curved do not vibrate so therefore that part does not make a sound. At the center of the S-curve a section of the blade remains flat. This is called the "sweet spot" producing a distinct pitch. The wider the section of blade, the lower the sound. Marlene Dietrich was a famous performer on the musical saw who often played it on the Berlin stage and then later used it to entertain troops during World War II

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
wdfisher57 is spot on! I am a 30-something female of the GenX group this author rambles on about. Of all the folks I have known & am currently friends to or associated with, it's more common for me to hear these tales of woe & lament from women. It is also a fact that more of the women of this group have caused instability in their romantic relationships through extreneous affairs & poor treatment of their spouse/mate that have led to divorce/break ups. The younger generations are profoundly socially retarded thanks to the "digital age" on top of widespread promiscuity & inflated sense of self importance which will lead to more broken homes for the children born to them, which will cause many problems in the foreseeable future. The GenXers are going to have to relearn the life lessons on how to make & build upon friendships the "old fashioned way" (i.e.: getting off their duffs & going out to meet people instead of sitting in front of a computer & leaving snarky & snide remarks on various "social" web sites if they wish to meet a new mate. Saying that most of the longing & "what ifs" are a male issue is ridiculous. Women need to "unlearn" some of the things they hold near & dear if they are to succeed with a relationship & also to know that there is NO shame in remaining single.July 28 2010 at 11:57 AM Report abuse Permalink +1 rate up rate down Reply

On counts against Bobby Ferguson and his codefendants, jurors were close to convicting, close to acquitting and split.
As the government prepares to re-try Bobby Ferguson, one thing is certain about his last bid-rigging trial: The jury was divided and sometimes confused on parts of the complex case.
According to a Tuesday court filing, the jury was close to convicting on some counts, close to acquitting on others and evenly split on some charges against Ferguson, a longtime friend of ex-Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, and two associates.
U.S. District Judge David Lawson, who set a new trial date of Aug. 21 -- which is likely to get pushed back -- explained in the filing how divided the jury was in the case, which ended in a mistrial last week when the jury deadlocked.
A day after the mistrial was declared, several jurors said there was a holdout in the case. One wrote on Facebook that the jurors voted 10-1 to convict on most of the charges.
The Free Press confirmed through four jurors that the panel voted to convict Ferguson on conspiracy to defraud the U.S., illegal dumping and unlawful possession of a firearm. At one point, jurors said, the panel was unanimous on those counts. Ferguson could have faced up to 10 years in prison if the jury had delivered a partial verdict.
But one juror changed her mind. The woman, whom the Free Press has not named, has declined to comment.
Lawson had advised the jurors not to talk to the news media to avoid swaying jurors picked for the retrial.
According to Lawson, who interviewed the jury, "the court learned that the votes on some counts as to some defendants favored conviction, the votes on other counts as to other defendants favored acquittal, and still other counts and defendants divided the jury nearly evenly."
The new trial date was set under the requirements of the Speedy Trial Act, but the defense is expected to object to the Aug. 21 date. Among its main arguments is that Ferguson's lawyer, Gerald Evelyn, also is representing Ferguson in the upcoming public corruption trial involving Kilpatrick. That trial is set for Sept. 6, which means Evelyn can't handle two trials at once and needs to wrap the racketeering trial first.
In the bid-rigging case, Ferguson and codefendants Michael Woodhouse and Calvin Hall are charged with running a scheme to help Ferguson's company win a nearly $12-million contract for a low-income housing project. Ferguson also is charged with illegal dumping, money laundering and unlawfully possessing two guns. All three defendants face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
In the public corruption trial, Ferguson faces up to 30 years in prison on charges he, Kilpatrick, Kilpatrick's father and ex-water boss Victor Mercado ran a criminal enterprise through the mayor's office to enrich themselves.
