We received this private e-mail: I got a great film for you: Zeitgeist. You can view it for free online. Do a quick search.

Management Problem Allegedly Persists To The Level Of Incompetence?

April 12, 2008 Score Card

March 21, 2008 Score Card

My daughter’s soccer practice ended at 7:30 pm Thursday, March 20th, the same night that Cal State Fullerton was to play in the NCAA tournament. The last time the CSUF basketball team played in the NCAA tournament was 30 years ago. I had graduated from that school and worked as a staff member for over 30 years and thus tied to that campus. I wanted to see that game. It was televised by KDOC. Just days previous I received the…
