This is going to be BIG. (Free subscription) | 05/11/2009
A lot of times, when I see a startup’s advisory board, it’s a skippable slide. You’re a vertical search for Play-Doh and you have some guy that owned a toy store for 20 years as an advisor. That’s a yawner...

I’m rereading Admiral Samuel Eliot Morison’s Oxford History of the American People.The second volume was fairly dull until the democratic age arrives with Andrew Jackson, after which it’s consistently comic. For example, here’s a bit on the 1836 campaign by Vice President Richard Johnson, whose supporters chanted in answer to William Henry Harrison’s claim to [...]

Carlisle (N.H.), Huntingdon (N.H.) and Lingfield (a.w.)
oneXtwo Horse racing news (Free subscription) | 01/11/2009
The most interesting race in the U.K. today is the intermediate chase at 15.05 CET at Carlisle, where the field includes several useful performers. Killyglen (Jonjo O´Neill/ Tony McCoy) and Chief Dan George (Jimmy Moffatt/ Paddy Aspell) have not run since the Grand National meeting in April and would both probably prefer a trip longer than the 2 1/2 miles of today´s race, but can still...

oneXtwo Horse racing news (Free subscription) | 31/10/2009
today has the best jumping cards so far of the new N.H. season, with Wetherby´s Charlie Hall Chase over 3 miles 1 furlong at 15.55 CET taking pride of place. Only 5 runners but still a fascinating race, with our clear preference for the two bottom weights Tamarinbleu (David Pipe/ Tom Scudamore) and Ollie Magern (Nigel Twiston-Davies/ Paddy Brennan). Ollie won this race in 2006 and 2007 but has...

Royals Review (Free subscription) | 27/10/2009
Similar to the 2010 Relievers post from several days ago, this is meant to present a snapshot of who remains on the roster, can we jettison some dead weight, and are there any holes to be filled? The particulars about how many batters the team keeps on the 25-man and how many infielders/outfielders/Teahen-Bloomquist-IF/OF hybrids are kept will have a factor in the final roster (please allow some leeway...
