“Superliar” Meg Blames Brown for Housekeeper Scandal FireDogLake. I first heard of eBay when an investor buddy called me asking if I knew anything about Meg Whitman. He was looking at the company, Whitman was about to be installed as CEO, and his ringing around on her got reports back that she was completely mediocre. He was very puzzled at the choice, since the rest of the C-level at eBAy looked good. This is a pet peeve of mine because I know a lot of super competent women who don’t seem to get the breaks, and then ones like Whitman and Carly Fiorina make it to the top…..

Antidote du jour. From ZooBorns:
The Oregon Zoo recently provided a temporary home for twin orphaned cougar cubs while they recuperated from malnutrition and dehydration. The cubs were transferred last week to their permanent home at the Western North Carolina Nature Center. According to Oregon Zoo keepers, the “cute and vocal” brothers have a close bond that has helped them recover from “a rough start to life.” “As a conservation organization, it’s important for us to take a leadership role in finding homes for orphaned animals,” said Kim Smith, zoo director. “These guys really needed our help.”
Baby cougars can’t live in the wild without their mothers, so zoos offer the orphans’ only chance for survival.” Schireman was able to quickly place the 10-week-old cubs. “There are a lot of zoos around the country that would be thrilled to provide a home for a cougar, and the nature center was at the top of the waiting list when ODFW contacted me about these cubs,” Schireman said. “I’m really pleased that the brothers now have a permanent home where they can live together.”

Good read on the 2000-2001 Dennis Erickson-coached Oregon State football team that won the Fiesta Bowl with a lot of transfers; 16 of 24 starters graduated, none of the five JC starters graduated, but they all made the NFL.
