Here's a little bit of information out of New York that will lend fuel to the talks of newly-elected City Comptroller John Liu eventually running for higher office. In the recent Nov. 3rd elected, Liu not only became the  first Asian American to hold the second highest office in the world’s foremost city, but he also out-polled Mayor Michael Bloomberg by about 150,000 votes.

Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize has the potential to be the lit torch to brighten and forge a path forward and not another political stick for partisan "Punch and Judy" theatre.

I went to the doctor yesterday (I'm lucky my health insurance is fully covered by the small nonprofit I lead, where we see the health of our employees as critical to organizational success). As I was leaving the doctor's office, an elderly woman frantically rushed up the stairs of the building, asking me if I could help her husband. When I ran out with her, I saw that he'd tripped and fallen getting out of the car outside, lying down with blood oozing out of his head on the pavement.
