This is going to be BIG. (Free subscription) | yesterday
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 [...]

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...

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...

LUBBOCK, Texas | For further evidence that seniority matters little to Kansas coach Mark Mangino, check out the latest defensive depth chart, which features four freshmen in the starting lineup. “The young guys are really talented,” Mangino said. “We would have liked to bring them along a little later but did not have that choice.

Two jumps meetings today with the best sport at Wetherby, and despite the controversy surrounding the racecourse (4 fatalities at the last meeting), the fields are quite competitive with runners from many of the top stables. Main event is the listed 3yo hurdle at 16.15 CET with 8 runners, 5 of them last-time-out winners. Trumpstoo (Richard Fahey/ Brian Hughes) and Ravati (Chris Grant/ Lucy Horner)...

Jumps racing this afternoon in England at Haydock - the first N.H. meeting there of the new season- and in Ireland at Punchestown, where several promising types will be in action. There are the usual huge fields here, the exception being the first race, a novice hurdle at 14.15 CET, where 2 above average performers have scared off most of the opposition - Some Present (Tony Mullins/ Davy Russell) and...

Don't join Sonicbids. If you are already a member, quit now. Like many Berklee alumni, I was offered a six month free Sonicbids membership. At the time, I really didn't know Richard Johnson about it, but I decided to try it out. Big mistake. The entire paradigm is wrong: Musicians pay to bid on gigs... as if musicians and money problems aren't already the stuff of legend. I was expecting a place to...
