Ford CEO and a VP say the Ford 500 , renamed the Taurus, looks like Homer Simpson.
From the article -AP and CNN.com
While speaking in Detroit this month, CEO Alan Mulally and Derrick Kuzak, head of global product development, took shots at the current Taurus, with Kuzak likening its looks to the portly, balding, doughnut-devouring Simpson.
Glad I did not buy Ford when the stock was at $8.
But I have to say I like the CEO and think he might be on the right track to cut some considerable fat at one of the original American brands.

Okay, I know some of you are not sports fans.
But Pete Carroll, head football coach of University of Southern California, gives you an insight into someone who shows the power of believing in your own code of honor, removing the sense of fear and realizing criticism means nothing if you have already been given up for dead.
Pete took USC from a school with a great past to a current college football dynasty.
Try to take the sports out of this article and look at the human side of believing in others even when those people don't look like you.
I heard about this article from LA Magazine during the college bowl season before the Rose Bowl.
Yes, it is a long article, but take my word for it, you will be a better person for reading it in full.

And people said an angel network and an entrepreneur council would NEVER EVER work in western North Carolina.
My last event as the leader of the angel network was March of 2006 and these two companies presented.
Sylvan Sport is based in Cedar Mountain , NC and Sensory Analytics has an office in Morganton, part of the BREC/BRAIN territory
What is the lesson here? Don't listen to the naysayers!

Starting a company is more than just being the sexy CEO

As someone who has started two entrepreneurial councils and consulted on others, I thought this article was right on. Some entrepreneurs think being the founder/CEO is the greatest thing in the world, until they realize they are also the Chief Bottle Washer and many other unsexy titles.
Take a look at the article when you or someone you know is thinking about being an entrepreneur.
