ADHD Drugs and Serious Cardiovascular Events in Children and Young Adults — NEJM
In conclusion, in our study involving children and young adults with 2.5 million person-years of follow-up, there were 3.1 serious cardiovascular events per 100,000 person-years.

Not Working? Sorry, Not Interested – Businessweek
Rejecting unemployed job candidates out of hand is really stupid business, on top of being shockingly rude and unprofessional. When we say, “We don’t hire unemployed people, period,” we’re sending a loud signal to the talent population, our employees, our customers, and our vendors that we don’t have a clue how to manage people. It’s pretty easy to separate the wheat from the chaff in a selection pipeline. No one has yet won a Nobel Prize for innovation in recruiting, because it’s just not that complicated a topic.
Fascinating article and IMHO a MUST read. If companies don’t hire the unemployed just because they are unemployed then we will have millions of people spinning their wheels looking for work until they end up dead or on government assistance.
Hamsters one and all.

Only Your Brand Will Save You – Dorie Clark – Harvard Business Review
Starting today, think about how you can own your niche and build your audience. If you care about insuring yourself against hard times, the only true safety is in developing a personal brand that’s better known — and therefore more powerful — than that of your competitors, or even your employer.
