Championship sports analysts such as Mike Lineback and Jim Kruger may view the Professional Handicappers League's site contests a bit differently, but the bottom line's the same. The contests not only rev up their competitive juices, they also provide the public a "black and white" opportunity to see for themselves just how well a handicapper is doing in a particular sport versus the competition. After all, while the handicapping business generates a lot of camaraderie among the various players, it's still, much like professional sports themselves, a dog eat dog industry and one in which the numbers do the talking. Many boast they're the best, but few actually can document such claims. Lineback...

Leaders know high expectations lead to high performance. Leaders know that the more people believe in themselves, and their leaders believe in them, the more they will accomplish - at all levels.

Let me share a story of real leadership: A young girl, in second grade in a small town in Wisconsin was tested and classified as a below grade level student. That designation put her in an educational wasteland. Not much expected of her, not much effort...

I remember speaking with a person that was on one of my first adventure tours through the Southwest which took place almost 15 years ago. Back then, I was bringing people from Europe and taking them on 2-3 week adventures through California, Arizona, Nevada and Utah. When I first started, I really was not sure where to take them.

It was a major step up from the first van which was an old 8-passenger vehicle and to turn the air conditioner on you had to roll down the window. To my...

Part One -- East Coast -- New York City's Essex House There's an opening scene in the Peter Jackson film, King Kong where the camera pans across Central Park and you see this big skyscraper with a sign that says, "Essex House." The time was the 1930's and the Essex House sign was already an icon on the New York City skyline (it was built in 1931). Today, it's still a landmark.

The Vatican, Rome Technically this is a city-state, not an attraction within Italy, but guidebooks have been guilty of pairing them for decades with less justification than this. Enter St Peter's Cathedral, considered Christianity's most magnificent Renaissance church. And get ready to queue for Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel (or book ahead), though many find the maps and even frescoes on the way to the Chapel even more compelling than the main draw. Assisi Perched halfway up Mount Subasio, overlooking the town of Perugia, this walled city with a fourteenth-century fortress (Rocca Maggiore) is the birthplace of St Francis (1182), work began on his basilica in 1228, two years after his death, and if...
