...Riding in groups] is one of the things that triathletes have a problem with [because] they tend to train alone,” Shoemaker said. “[Cyclists] hate triathletes because they tend to be so bad at riding a bike, but now I have the mind set that, well, I’m on the cycling team and I am a bike racer...
...salvaging a diplomatic train wreck, however, Blackwill, 64, may be the best there is. So a year ago, when the Bush Administration realized how much trouble it faced in postwar Iraq, National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice reached out to Blackwill.

"To say I wasn't disappointed would be lying," Nardelli says. "You don't train to come in second." Nardelli bounced back to become CEO of Home Depot, a company half the size of GE, a month later. This time his GE management style and determination are paying off. After two years of struggling, Home Depot's sales and profits have rebounded. The stock...
