“According to the researchers, for many, the agony of a bogey seems to outweigh the thrill of a birdie. The researchers calculate that this type of decision-making bias costs the average professional golfer about one stroke during a 72-hole tournament. For the top 20 golfers, that translates to a combined loss of about $1.2 million in prize money a year.”

““It’s been drummed into people that they should stretch, stretch, stretch — that they have to be flexible,” says Dr. Duane Knudson, professor of biomechanics at Texas State University in San Marcos, who has extensively studied flexibility and muscle response. “But there’s not much scientific support for that.””

“As a matter of economic logic, President Obama’s goal of universal health insurance cannot help but undermine former President Reagan’s goal of lower marginal tax rates. Future generations of Americans may find health insurance more affordable, but they will also find hard work less financially rewarding.”

“With the economy so lousy, retailers didn’t buy much this year (and don’t we all know it). By many accounts, they bought 30% to 40% less inventory over last year. There will be more money chasing product (even in this lousy economy) meaning holiday discounts aren’t as likely as last year’s experience would indicate.”
