...running. He showed no hesitation in testing his pain threshold in the pursuit of victory. At the outdoor Heptagonals at Yale, Chenoweth fell at around the 2000-meter mark in the 5000-meter run. Instinctively, the freshman picked himself up and, sitting dead last, made his way through the pack. At one point Chenoweth took the outright lead before finishing second in the home stretch to Princeton’s senior Dave Nightingale by only .03 of a second. “That race was really a great illustration of why Dan is a great competitor,” Saretsky...

The SunRice purchases partly explain why rice importers in other parts of the world are having trouble finding supplies...
What distinguishes an entrepreneurial leader from the rest of the pack? Most people would tell you it is a tolerance for risk, and most people would be wrong. Having studied 22 years of performance data on more than 7,000 growth companies, I discovered that the idea that entrepreneurs are, by definition, risk takers is a myth. Curiously, many entrepreneurial leaders actually lose their nerve as they become successful. That may sound like a reasonable trade-off, but this tendency can hurt a firm's chances for long-term success and growth...
