*******OT*************** Henry: Acknowledge your post on Shari Lewis. I can remember watching her as a child, and Howdy Doody too. That was over thirty years ago. Seems there's a lot of scary numbers in my life (and I'm not talking assays here)lately. Married 15 years, known my wife over 22 years, a son who is 12 and wears a size 9-1/2 shoe (I wear an 8), daughter whose 8 going on 16, and many more. These things add up to a good reminder of our own mortality. JLA

Henry: We WILL have to disagree, albeit hopefully respectfully. I think your minor points are anything but minor. I once posted a definition of management but the essence of management to me is a refusal to accept the status quo or simply put to make things happen when most people feel you've done all you can. To me this is the key to success and the difference between management and highly compensated employees. "Feeling stuck" with a statement from someone who you have paid $3,000,000.00 over the past few years is just not management by any real meaning of that term. The same sentiment goes to merely accepting the premise that we just can't make a lab toe the mark, especially in this situation. I've stated this before many times and I really can't understand why this is such a difficult concept to grasp or why it seems people are so willing to accept that it can not change. It seems the approach to the labs is made on bended knee, a position more suitable for supplicants (and perhaps White House interns) but not for management. I suspect Allen & Co. would have been happy to advise the company, if we'd been willing to pay the price. JLA
