Monday, October 13, 2014 I made a lot of money in an Apple trade last week. While enjoying a 12-mile run this morning, I gave a lot of thought to my next play on the stock. I like Apple a lot. From my perspective, investors are undervaluing the company. Yet my perspective doesn’t matter. All […]

Sunday, October 12, 2014 The march to complete Prison Professor is heating up. I received an invitation to speak at symposium on federal prison reform that the UC Hastings Law School is sponsoring next February. Before attending that conference, I need to have a working version of Prison Professor up and running. That means I’m […]

Saturday, October 11, 2014   I now have completed six full lessons for Prison Professor. Today I wrote about the Bureau of Prisons staff hierarchy and about the administrative process. This week I wrote more than 20,000 words on the subject. To provide some perspective, to print 20,000 words would require about 100 pages. The […]

Friday, October 10, 2014   Today I learned the Orange County office of Education has expanded its relationship with our foundation. We’ve sold several license agreements for our Straight-A Guide to Orange County, and today we learned that another institution will use our products. I feel a great sense of fulfillment when I learn that […]

Thursday, October 9, 2014   The stock market got slammed today. Fortunately, I’m holding a position in Apple, and that was the one shining star in the Nasdaq. I went long on Apple last week, and I am holding shares with an entry level of $99.39. Early this morning, I read that Carl Icahn, one […]

Wednesday, October 8, 2014   Responsibilities at work required that I take my attention off of Prison Professor. Sometimes I feel as if I’m working three full-time jobs. I have so much work that I’m not able to run every day, as I like. I’m still ahead of schedule with regard to my running log, […]

Tuesday, October 7, 2014   I wrote another lesson for the Prison Professor initiative I’m launching. In today’s lesson I wrote about Prison Classification Systems. I suspect that professional-type individuals who’ve been convicted of a federal crime will become the most active clients of Prison Professor. They may assume that since they don’t have any […]

Monday, October 6, 2014   Today I had another great day of writing. The lesson I wrote for Prison Professor concerned sentence-mitigation strategies. I’m convinced that individuals who face troubles with the criminal justice system can take some affirmative steps to prepare. Before it’s too late, they should prepare a coherent plan to guide them […]

Sunday, October 5, 2014   A productive day of writing resulted in a lesson plan of more than 5,000 words. This lesson teaches individuals what they should know about the Presentence Investigation. Individuals who are encountering the criminal justice for the first day may not know the significance of Presentence Investigation and the report that […]

Saturday, October 4, 2014   Today I took more affirmative steps to write the program for Prison Professor. In the weeks to come, I intend to make significant progress toward advancing this initiative. I now have an outline to follow, and I have more than 30 individual lessons to write. I suspect each lesson will […]
