I can spot a winner when I see one, and so far I have been right.
Should Bolt repeat his 100-meter victory from Beijing, he will become the second man to win consecutive Olympic titles in the event, after Carl Lewis (1984 and ’88). In the 200, Bolt has the opportunity to become the first in history to capture back-to-back gold medals.
“This Olympics can give me my legend status, so that’s my aim and what I hope to do,” he said. “I haven’t run in London for a long time. I think there will be great energy with the fans, and I feed off great energy.”
Four years ago in Beijing, Bolt attained his superstar status by blazing to three gold medals, all in dominating fashion.

I have had this article drafted for the longest time. I have brought it up now to post it as I recently referred to it during a conversation. It it still relevant.

It has always been debated, but proof?…that was far from coming. Now here it is! The Economist has highlighted an article pointing out that business students waste the most time ever at school (compared to other broad subject areas). At first, i wondered how i should feel: threatened, offended, or ambivalent; However I have decided to accept that there is some truth to what is being said, and business students need to wake up (the entire system for that matter)!. Here are the major points from The Economist, and the Original Article, after which I will highlight my comments.
Before you get the major points though it is interesting to note the following (also from the same article), about the field of business: 1 in every 5 degrees is for that field at the undergraduate level in the United States…Woa! (talk about saturated).
This is not a small corner of academe. The family of majors under the business umbrella—including finance, accounting, marketing, management and “general business"—accounts for just over 20 percent, or more than 325,000, of all bachelor’s degrees awarded annually in the United States, making it the most popular field of study.
Major points from the articles
Interesting quoutes
IN MY day people who wanted an easy time at university studied geography or land management. Now, in the United States at least, the soft-option of choice is business studies. Business students of various sorts are the most numerous group on American campuses, accounting for 20%, or more than 325,000, of all bachelor degrees. They are also, according to a long article in The Chronicle of Higher Education, by far the idlest and most ignorant.
Three big problems
Two big problems
What is the major reason why students in other major improved over time (state fields) vs why business students saw little improvement. What accounts for those gaps?
The two sociologists point to sheer time on task. Gains on the CLA closely parallel the amount of time students reported spending on homework. Another explanation is the heavy prevalence of group assignments in business courses: The more time students spent studying in groups, the weaker their gains in the kinds of skills the test measures.
Group assignments are a staple of education in management and marketing. In dorm lounges and library basements around the country, small cells of 20-year-olds are analyzing why a company has succeeded or failed (Drexel University); team-writing 15-page digital marketing plans (James Madison University); or preparing 45-minute PowerPoint presentations on one of the three primary functions of management (Tulane University).
