Around Campus / President's Mansion / Re: Maybe we should take a closer look at Herman Cain

Herman Cain was on the Jay Leno Show last night and was very impressive. Even Jay was polite and seemed impressed by him.
The media wants a Rhino which is absolutely NOT what we need. I may go campaign for Mr. Cain. I remember him from my Atlanta days.
And let's take a positive position - instead of saying he can't win, let's pass the word and believe he can win. Thinking positively makes things happen.

Around Campus / President's Mansion / Maybe we should take a closer look at Herman Cain

Here is his bio:
1. Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics.
2. Master’s degree in Computer Science.
3. Mathematician for the Navy, where he worked on missile ballistics (making him a rocket scientist).
Computer systems analyst for Coca-Cola.
4. VP of Corporate Data Systems and Services for Pillsbury (this is the top of the ladder in the computer world, being in charge of information systems for a major corporation).
All achieved before reaching the age of 35. Since he reached the top of the information systems world, he changed careers!
1. Business Manager. Took charge of Pillsbury’s 400 Burger King restaurants in the Philadelphia area, which were the company’s poorest performers in the country. Spent the first nine months learning the business from the ground up, cooking hamburger and yes, cleaning toilets. After three years he had turned them into the company’s best performers.
2. Godfather’s Pizza CEO. Was asked by Pillsbury to take charge of their Godfather’s Pizza chain (which was on the verge of bankruptcy). He made it profitable in 14 months.
3. In 1988 he led a buyout of the Godfather’s Pizza chain from Pillsbury. He was now the owner of a restaurant chain. Again he reached the top of the ladder of another industry.
4. He was also chairman of the National Restaurant Association during this time. This is a group that interacts with government on behalf of the restaurant industry, and it gave him political experience from the non-politician side.
Having reached the top of a second industry, he changed careers again!
1. Adviser to the Federal Reserve System. Herman Cain went to work for the Federal Reserve Banking System advising them on how monetary policy changes would affect American businesses.
2. Chairman of the Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank.
3. He worked his way up to the chairmanship of a regional Federal Reserve bank. This is only one step below the chairmanship of the entire Federal Reserve System (the top banking position in the country). This position allowed him to see how monetary policy is made from the inside, and understand the political forces that impact the monetary system.
After reaching the top of the banking industry, he changed careers for a fourth time!
1. Writer and public speaker. He then started to write and speak on leadership. His books include Speak as a Leader, CEO of Self, Leadership is Common Sense, and They Think You’re Stupid.
2. Radio Host. Around 2007—after a remarkable 40 year career—he started hosting a radio show on WSB in Atlanta (the largest talk radio station in the country).
He did all this starting from rock bottom (his father was a chauffeur and his mother was a maid). When you add up his accomplishments in his life—including reaching the top of three unrelated industries: information systems, business management, and banking—Herman Cain may have the most impressive resume of anyone that has run for the presidency in the last half century.
Are we automatically ruling him out as a serious contender because he is black? If so, we should be ashamed of ourselves.

Great seeing everyone yesterday! A great visit and I think one of the most enjoyable lunches we have ever had. Sorry Flyboy, Hannibel and Leewillie couldn't make it. TP, thanks for bringing Johnny! It was great meeting him - you have a prize there. And we'll even forgive you for not bringing the Hersey pie!

I agree. My teachers (all who made a career of teaching) always knew they had the support of parents. I lived with a real taskmaster who made me and my brothers do our homework as soon as we came home from school. Once it was done we were free to do other things, but not a minute sooner.

Good luck to you. She seems to be holding on so what you're doing seems to be working. Hopefully, she just is too small to suck or to fight the other puppies for a space. Some TLC may be just the thing. Sounds like you are doing all the right things!

free puppies. available in approx 6 weeks. How many? 8 total, I think 6 will make it. 1 is very small and ill and wont nurse. The other runt may have some issue with his legs. If the little one is still alive, go to any of the pet stores and buy small bottles with a selection of nipples (comes in one pack) and Esbilac for Puppies. I bought both at Pet Depot. P.S. none of the nipples had a hole in it so I took a big needle and made one. Esbilac is great for puppies, kittens, rabbits, squirrels and flying squirrels. I have used it on all of those except kittens (don't tend to find them in the wild) and they thrive. Regular milk is a no no. Animals are allergic to it. It still might not make it but it's something to try. I am currently raising a baby rabbit I almost stepped on in our path. I have had him (or her) for three weeks as of today. And it has turned from a cuddly little bunny into a pretty wild hare but he will let me pet him (but not pick him up). We will keep him about 2 more weeks and release him back to the wild. I had to bottle feed him initially but now he is eating rabbit food, spinach and Esbilac mixed half and half with water. He has tripled in size.
