The Most Arrogant Man In The World: Jamie Dimon
Guess What Happened When JPMorgan’s CEO Visited Elizabeth Warren’s Office
WASHINGTON — A meeting between Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Jamie Dimon deteriorated almost immediately after the JPMorgan Chase & Co. CEO visited the recently elected senator and consumer advocate at her Capitol Hill office in 2013.

I can't believe he's had a thumping great crash on the road to Damascus. More likely he's had a PR intervention and more than a few pints.
Jeremy Clarkson joins Guardian drive for fossil fuel divestment
Former Top Gear presenter says being sacked by the BBC was a ‘wake-up call’ as he joins host of celebrities backing climate change campaign
We’ve both been on vacation this week and instead of making firm plans to go anywhere, we stayed around home and got some things done. Unfortunately, the weather has not been cooperating, and the previous week’s mild temperatures were replaced by cold, high winds, and even a 5″ snowfall. We only went riding once, and the old bike was off the training stand because I was riding it before we purchased Veda, my new bike (a Specialized Vita Elite).
Veda’s up on the training stand because vacation’s over, the weather isn’t good for riding the rest of the weekend, and it’s been too long since I got any appreciable exercise, and my blood glucose numbers tell the story.
The week of St Patrick’s day, I didn’t have a single reading over 100, and most of them are in the 85-95 range, with one morning as low as 81, the day after an eight-mile ride in Elk Grove Village. There were other rides in the same week – I rode daily after buying Veda until midweek and the BG numbers follow right along.
This week, with almost no riding except for a cold and frustrating ride around the Paul Douglas forest preserve bike path loop, and not much walking counted by my Vivofit fitness tracker gadget, the numbers have been troubling. They went right back over 100 with only one day under that number all week, although I’ve been carefully counting carbs and calories (and losing weight) through the week “off.”
Not exercising means not controlling my numbers well. That’s all there is to it.
I’m looking forward to going to the Chicagoland Diabetes Expo in April and hoping that my brother-in-law Dan and his girlfriend Tami can go along with us, it’s going to be fun.

Not Watching CSI: Cyber BUT I Read Snark Reviews
CSI:Cyber and the Sexy, Spooky Killer Hacker Printer Fire
One good thing about CSI:Cyber is that you never have to wonder what an episode will be about because someone will very plainly state exactly what the episode is about within the first 10 minutes.
…we wait to see if Hamster and Captain Slow renew their contracts, or not
BBC: Clarkson mounted unprovoked attack on Top Gear producer
Follow live updates as the BBC decides not to renew the contract of the controversial Top Gear front man
… who would I like to see take the wheel? Rowan Atkinson could be simultaneously funny, competent in a serious car, and terrified if stuck in the passenger seat next to The Stig. Or Sabine Schmitz, a German driver-presenter who's appeared on the show, is sarcastically funny and has the chops to leave the old boys behind.
Distant third: Tanner Foust, the Top Gear America driver, who would drive the English insane with his driving trucks but just isn't funny enough. He was on the show recently driving a rally car extremely well, but not saying very much and staying well out of the banter-channel.
Who could replace Jeremy Clarkson on Top Gear?
Jodie Kidd, Chris Evans, Stephen Fry and even Alan Partridge have all been touted as possible new hosts. But only one star has what it takes …
Billionaire’s Dark Money Contribution To Scott Walker Pays Off Big Time
John Menard Jr. is widely known as the richest man in Wisconsin. A tough-minded, staunchly conservative 75-year-old billionaire, he owns a highly profitable chain of hardware stores throughout the Midwest. He’s also famously publicity-shy &mdas…
It can be hard to keep track of the carbs you consume, yet it's got to be done if you're trying to regulate your blood sugar through diet (and exercise).
It's even harder when the sugar carbs are hidden or part of another ingredient that can be added mindlessly, like teriyaki sauce, hoisin sauce, or flavored coffee creamer.
If you're aware of the extra carbs in that lemonade, and balance them with lower-carb choices throughout your day, you can keep yourself pretty well-regulated.
But if you're diabetic and don't care, or assume "the drugs will fix it," or are trying to commit slow suicide, by all means have that delicious full rack of ribs dripping with thick BBQ sauce. And have a couple of glasses of lemonade and a side of cornbread while you're at it.
This anecdote is based on the experience of watching a family member make poor food choices, over and over, at shared meals. It's another reason my husband and I ride in #TourdeCure.
7 normal snacks with a crazy amount of sugar
Experts recommend limiting your added sweetener to six teaspoons per day. Here’s what that looks like.
Why isn't Ted Cruz a Cuban the way Obama is a Kenyan? Is Canada the 51st state, right after Hawaii?
The birthers really need to get their story straight. Also, the Supreme Court better define "natural-born" already.
Is Ted Cruz Allowed To Run Since He Was Born In Canada?
Texas Sen. Ted Cruz became the first major candidate to declare for president, but some question whether he’s eligible since he was born in Canada. Legal scholars, though, believe he can.
