I'm not sure if all of you watched the Today Show this morning, but Jo Rowling gave an "exclusive" interview to Meredith Viera, in which she revealed the information that everyone has been dying to know. What do Harry, Ron, and Hermione do for a living? "We know that Harry marries Ginny and has three kids, essentially, as Rowling explains, creating the family and the peace and calm he never had as a child.Does Your Occupation Fit Your Personality?
Chances are you’ve taken a personality test at some point in your life — a Myers-Briggs for fun, a Caliper or other employment test for a new job — but have you ever thought about how the results might impact your career choices?
Nancy Ancowitz, author of Self-Promotion For Introverts, recently wrote an article in the New York Times about how her introverted personality affected her career path. Ancowitz had always assumed her need to work alone and her aversion to large meetings were character flaws.

I just got this posting from one of my safety blogs. I work as a Safety & Health Officer on a hazardous waste site. My husband is a social worker at our county jail.10 Suicides a Month at Ft. Hood -- War Stress Is Taking Soldiers to the Brink
Editor's Note: This Tuesday, President Obama will attend a memorial service for the shootings at Ft. Hood last Friday. He would do well to consider that the war policies he's continuing, extending the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, are the underlying cause of acts of madness and desperation by soldiers at Ft.‘Good evening, live from the Berlin Wall’
I thought this would be an interesting tie in from Tulipe's earlier post. On the night of Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall — the stark, menacing symbol of the Cold War — came crashing down, suddenly and dramatically.Ford to put air bags into back seat belts

Advice to readers about the coming orgy of analysis about the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial elections: Ignore it. Disquisitions on The Meaning of It All for President Obama or the 2009 results as a harbinger for Congress in 2010 have scant basis in reality.

Stanley McChrystal, the American military commander in Afghanistan. Although he has taken a few lumps for playing politics with the White House, McChrystal has generally been sold to the American public as a “Zen warrior,” a counterinsurgency genius who, if simply left to his own devices, will be able to radically transform the ongoing debacle that is Afghanistan into a noble victory that will rank as one of the greatest political and military triumphs of modern history.Media Ignores Women's Health Disparities in Shriver Report
The "battle of the sexes is over" claims the much-heralded Shriver Report: A Woman's Nation Changes Everything on American work and family life. Go ahead, take a victory lap.
