Cat Fight – Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on his recent lady fight with Phillip Jackson: "I own Phil Jackson. Not literally of course. That thrill belongs to the smartest businesswoman in professional sports, Jeannie Buss [Jackson’s girlfriend and team executive].

The Nice Guy Syndrome: Every holiday, Health Services at Rutgers sends out a “don’t kill yourself email.” The Nice Guy Syndrome is a perennial favorite of mine.

Reading the Right Books by John Granger – Granger is the author of “Finding God in Harry Potter.” The book is a really insightful look into the series and shatters the myths about their being satanic. I’m a big fan of the series and really appreciate the work. Rowling does a wonderful job of creating a world in which basic virtues are stealthily held up for children to absorb. In many ways, I think that her work is just as rich as Lewis’s Narnia and, depending on the outcome of Book 7, Tolkien. If you are a Potter fan or enjoy the discussion of Lewis and Tolkien, you should also check out his site, the Hogwarts Professor.
