LOSING STREAK -
The nation's colleges and universities have bonded together again to mourn the victims and support the families of those slain at Northern Illinois University, one of several college shootings in the U.S. and abroad in the recent months. »
The Wall Street Journal is my favorite newspaper. It's also the best selling newspaper in the country. I don't count USA Today because their subscription data is tainted by hotel contracts. I can remember eagerly anticipating the prospect of and subsequent News Corporation takeover of the classic newspaper this summer.

To say I'm a night owl would be an understatement. In fact, right now it is about 12:15 a.m. and I am just starting this article I should have written yesterday, or the day before that. I just function better when I do stuff late at night and sleep in the next day. Even studying is easiest for me in the early hours of the morning. Some of that may be due to the procrastination but the other part is that it is just part of my natural clock.
