    John McCain Is a Political Genius!
    2008-08-13 20:11:48
    I AM IN AWEFor the past few days I've been listening to the usual conservative sources (as in "round up the usual sources") once again turn Lindsey into the demonic entity akin to the Black Death.  They are also trying to promote the idea that Lindsey has turned on John McCain.  I know Lindsey.  The other day I read something in the fine print about promoting nuclear energy.  Anyone who knows Lindsey, South Carolina and Nuclear Energy knows the game's afoot.  Not only have they introduced a halfway decent energy proposal, but Lindsey has turned into "bad ......

    Flash of Genius
    2008-08-11 06:51:01
    Based on the true story of college professor and part-time inventor Robert Kearns' (Greg Kinnear) long battle with the U.S. automobile industry, Flash of Genius tells the tale of one man whose fight to receive recognition for his ingenuity would come at a heavy price. But this determined engineer refused to be silenced, and he took on the corporate titans in a battle that nobody thought he could win. The Kearns were a typical 1960s Detroit family, trying to live their version of the American Dream. Local university professor Bob married teacher Phyllis (Lauren Graham) and, by their mid-thirties, had six kids who brought them a hectic but satisfying Midwestern existence. When Bob invents a device that would eventually be used by every car in the world, the Kearns think they have struck gold. But their aspirations are dashed after the auto giants who embraced Bob's creation unceremoniously shunned the man who invented it. Ignored, threatened and then buried in years of litigation, Bob is...

    Simple Genius by David Baldacci
    2008-07-01 19:17:00
    This book deals with Sean King and Michelle Maxwell again, both ex-secret service agents. If you are into butt kicking women, you will love Michelle Maxwell. The CIA figures in here as well as a revolutionary war mystery. Baldacci seems to be following Patterson’s lead in very short chapters. I’ve got mixed feelings about these short chapters, speeds up the story but seems to truncate character development. Part of the book premise hits entirely too close to potential reality, a little uncomfortably so. Good story, I recommend it.Body of work of David BaldacciReview: http://mysterycrimefiction.suite101.com/article.cfm/review_simple_geniusWeb Site:http://www.davidbaldacci.com/web/ ...

    Leadership: The Art Of Manifesting Your Genius
    2008-06-05 11:06:10
    By Christopher MoonIn Vision Mountain Here's a quick quiz:1. Is your day filled with activities that consist of doing what you love to do?2. Does what you do enrich the life of at least one other person?3. Are you well supported financially to do what you love?If you answered these questions with a resounding yes, you are one of the few people in the world that is fully manifesting your genius. As such you are a true leader and we are blessed to have your brilliant example in this world. As sincere and well-meaning as many of us are, human beings are often so hampered by lives filled with compromise, misplaced loyalties, insecurity, and false beliefs, that the idea of fully expressing our genius is little more than a wistful fantasy.Why is it so scary for us to simply do what our hearts want us to do? Why do we feel that we will not be supported emotionally and financially if we were to express what is really great about us? What blocks us from considering that the sole purpose for our...

    Is GM "a genius or a dolt for developing the Volt"?
    2008-04-30 06:13:00
    Last week, Holman W. Jenkins, Jr. got space in the Wall Street Journal to question "whether GM is a genius or a dolt for developing the Volt." Jenkins suggests that gas prices might drop again. If this happens, then GM can say goodbye to consumers who want the Volt, Jenkins says. A big drop in gas prices is unlikely, based on recent trends and predictions, but not impossible. Jenkins' argument is one reason that an artificial floor on fuel prices - through higher gas taxes or a set minimum on oil prices - would secure the industry's investments in green cars. Jenkins is also unimpressed by GM's willingness to lose money on the first Volts, but he does see one strategy where GM "bribe(s) consumers to drive Volts off the lot. That is, if doing so frees GM to build and sell other cars bigger and more powerful than the cars its rivals can afford to build under the CAFE rules."In the end Jenkins doesn't answer his own question. To be fair, this chapter is far from finished and an answer can...

    Definition of a Genius
    2008-03-13 07:14:00
    Are you familiar with these scenario. A person who's wearing glasses, holding many books with a pocket calculator and has a 150 above I.Q level?We usually called them smarty pants, nerd, Einstein Jr. or simply genius. The dictionary defines “genius” as: “Someone who has an unusually high level of intelligence, mental skill or artistic ability.”Here's some of the definition of a genius, who knows your one of them:1. It is the state of being naturally smart or exceptionally gifted and creative.2. Also characterized by their ability to see things "outside", making them likely to create a lite-changing invention, radically changing the world.3. A 6-letter word for someone who will someday get a 10-digit income and be called "Boss" by the majority.4. People who do not study for exams and yet get high scores, making it impossible for the professor to curve the test scores.5. The person who makes saying the most complex words sound freakishly ordinary and spontaneous.6. The most popu...

Henry sent him a membership card "giving him access to an array of options including our newsletter, bumper stickers, pins, Green Monster seats and a hat personally autographed by David Ortiz."More from the Boston Herald: http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1077223&srvc=redsox&position=1Perfect.

    I KNEW IT - Genius Level Ain't Bad
    2008-01-09 15:17:00
    Seth Godin understands me, without knowing it. He recently made a post about dumbing down to reach the average.The thing is, when you dumb stuff down, you know what you get? Dumb customers.Too true! I recently made a post myself about my blog ranking at a Genius Level reading ability. I pondered whether or not it was a good thing, since the Melissa Donovan's post (where I first saw the quiz) was proposing that it was good to rank lower so more people could understand you.But that's not how I write. It's not the type of people who appreciate my writing. So why should I "dumb down" what I write in order to reach the average middleman? That was my stance, and I don't mind saying that I feel justified that a major blogger like Seth sees things my way.One of the comments on my previous blog noted that you should write the way you speak when blogging. That opens up the conversation. I completely agree with that, and the thing is... I do speak this way. Which is why I write this way. I need not apologize for my love of grammar and syntax!...

    Girl genius, 15, makes history as youngest Black female accepted into Ivy League School
    2007-12-28 15:02:45
     She was sitting up at 4 1/2 months old, making pyramid designs with blocks at 6 months old, walking at 8 months old and completing 24- to 100-piece jigsaw puzzles at 15 months old. So it should come as no surprise that Brittney Exline, 15, of Colorado Springs, CO, recently graduated from high school and then made history by becoming the youngest Black female ever accepted to an Ivy League school, the University of Pennsylvania. "I'm not easily excitable, but I think it's cool and I'm proud of myself for holding that record," said Brittney, a graduate of Palmer High School's International Baccalaureate program in Colorado. Her dad, Christopher Exline, who works in copier sales, said, "I feel really proud of her. I think it's wonderful." A spokesperson for the University of Pennsylvania would not comment, telling JET, "We do not give out information about our students." Brittney, who studied anthropology last year during summer school at Harvard University, received a full scholarship to cover the $50,000 tuition at the University of Pennsylvania. "She's pretty much got a full ride," said Chyrese Exline, Brittney's mother. A former geriatric administrator and part-time pageant coach, Chyrese said that she and her husband of 14 years didn't do anything special for Brittney to become "gifted." "She kind of came out that way," laughed Chyrese. "Her IQ, the last time it was done professionally, was 185. That was when she was almost 6 years old." On the IQ scale, over 140 is considered genius or almost genius. Her mother said that Brittney was a quiet baby, born two weeks late on Valentine's Day. So quiet, said Chyrese, that she didn't speak her first words until 22 months old! "We thought something was wrong. She didn't baby talk," said Chyrese. "When she did talk, it was perfect speech. She already knew her colors, letters and was reading. We just read regular bedtime st...

    Genius Level... Is it such a bad thing?
    2007-12-20 15:57:00
    In catching up with my Google Reader subscriptions I see a post on Writing Forward about the reading level of one's blog. This little widget allows for a nice bridge into writing for the broadest audience possible. In my infinite curiosity, I went and had this blog analyzed.Is this really a bad thing? Blog author Melissa Donovan seems to think so: Writers who use big words and fancy phrases will not reach the broadest audience possible, and in fact, will turn many potential readers away. Who wants to expend a whole lot of energy to decipher a short story or understand a blog post? When a writer tries to come off as brilliant by using complex language, the effort usually outshines the material.Personally I'm not so sure it's a bad thing to exhibit my intelligence. I wouldn't say that I write in a manner that excludes people... I'm pretty sure that anyone I know could chime in and join the conversation. And I don't know many geniuses. So what is it about a post that makes the reading a genius level read? I'm very curious what standards this particular website is using on making that assessment.Thoughts? Do I need to dumb this down, so to speak?...

    The "Mad Genius" Is at it Again
    2007-09-25 06:15:59
    I'm going to be very blunt about this: Tony La Russa's new strategy of batting the pitcher in the eighth spot has got to be one of the dumbest, pseudo-intelligent, wanna-be innovative ideas I have ever seen. As I understand it, La Russa thinks it creates more scoring opportunities for the guys at the top of the lineup. The pitcher has to bat somewhere, though, and now there are just fewer scoring opportunities for the guy now batting ninth, as well as more plate appearances for the worst hitter on the team. You can stretch your brain any which way trying to come up with convoluted justifications for this move, but ultimately, it can't possibly help. Rick Hummel is willing to give ol' Tony the benefit of the doubt, however, proclaiming that La Russa's new maneuver is "a hit." It's not, and I'm here to tell you why.But this year, after some initial national (and some local) snickering that La Russa was "overmanaging," the method seems to have gained at least tacit acceptance. The results bear out La Russa's logic.The tacitness shouldn't automatically be taken for acceptance; maybe people just got tired of arguing with La Russa and his ridiculous stubbornness. It makes sense. At first people snickered and said he overmanaged, but he's been doing it for 48 games now, and you can only complain about something for so long before you just give up in despair.Before Sunday's game, the Cardinals had a slightly better record with the pitcher hitting eighth at 22-26, compared to 50-56 before that. They had scored 4.69 runs a game, compared to 4.34 before that.Nothing like a gross misuse of statistics to brighten my day. The difference in the record amounts to no more than a couple games, and with such small sample sizes you can't possibly assume that the difference is proof of La Russa's strategy at work. A more likely explanation (which includes the runs/game difference) is that Rick "HGH" Ankiel has been playing out of his mind and boosting the offense.Both Aaron Miles and Brendan Ryan, who have hit ninth most of the time, have batted over .300 as ninth-place hitters this season, with Miles at .350 and Ryan at .301. More gross statistic misuse. Ryan has hit .302 for the entire season, so it's not as if he's doing any better in the ninth spot. Miles is indeed hitting .350 in his mere 66 ABs as a ninth hitter. He's also hitting .366 in 41 ABs as a second hitter, and 1.000 in 1 AB batting fifth!Since Aug. 4, the first game of the pitcher hitting eighth, Cardinals starting pitchers are six for 17 (.353) with six RBIs with men in scoring position. Joel Pineiro has been terrible, but Adam Wainwright and Braden Looper have been productive.Now the contention seems to be that, by hitting the pitcher 8th, La Russa has rendered the pitchers themselves more productive, and that they may, in fact, collectively win a batting title. Such is the power of changing the lineup in a very minute way.Want my opinion instead? 17 at-bats is way too small a sample size for me to give a crap about. And if you thought that was a small sample, try analyzing each individual pitcher's batting totals in that tiny sample. Pineiro has apparently been "terrible" in his at bats (as a pitcher) since August 4th while hitting eighth and with runners in scoring position. How many at bats does that include? Two? Three, maybe?We'll let the brain behind the master plan close this out with a rambling, incoherent statement."If you really want to be serious about it, you've got to look at the potential, rather than at the actual, unless you figure in that the players were insulted by hitting ninth, which I don't think they are.""Look at the potential rather than the actual." Ignoring the fact that, well, this doesn't make sense, I'd still rather look at the "actual" results.Hey, I have a new idea with loads of "potential." Let's give the leadoff guy even more RBI opportunities, and bat the pitcher 7th! Yeah, and if that works out, maybe I'll move him up to 6th. Hell, let's just bat the pitcher leadoff, since that's where this whole strategy logically leads anyway. Tony La Russa can cultivate this "mad genius" image to his heart's content, but I, and a large portion of the public, see through his BS. In reality, he's just the William Shatner of baseball managing....

    Joe Maddon: Tactical Genius
    2007-09-03 09:53:12
    I'm well aware, dear readers, that some of you may be quick to belittle the impact a manager has on his team's performance. I've been guilty of harboring these doubts myself. But my crisis of faith came to an end once I read about Devil Rays manager Joe Maddon's brilliant strategic maneuvering during Saturday's Yanks-Rays game:Rays manager Joe Maddon made it clear that he didn't believe there was anything illegal about Alex Rodriguez's bat, but he still requested it be confiscated Saturday afternoon an inning after Yankees manager Joe Torre did the same to Rays 3B Akinori Iwamura.Confiscation without suspicion? A highly unorthodox move. Only a true master of the "game within the game" could attain such heights of...gamesmanship.Rodriguez's bat didn't have a flat barrel end like Iwamura's (Torre reasoned he had never seen that before), but the majors' home run leader had just hit his 45th of the season in the first. "It was just retaliation," Maddon said after the Rays' 9-6 loss. "There...
