BIOLOGICAL PASSPORT NABS CHEATING CYCLISTS
The contest between athletes who use performance–enhancing
drugs and the authorities trying to catch them is much like a race
itself. Each time a new drug test comes out, athletes and their
doctors figure out a way to outsmart it.
But a new "biological passport" that measures blood and body
chemistry over time may finally be putting a dent in sports doping.
Professional cycling is the first sport to embrace the
relatively new test, and it's just nabbed its biggest catch: an
Italian cyclist, Franco Pellizotti, who was one of the favorites to
win this year's Giro d'Italia. The Giro d–Italia, a grueling threeweek
event second in size and importance only to the Tour de France,
kicks off on Saturday.

Inside The U.S. Navy's Leadership School
The top level of Navy leadership is its admirals . There are 238
of them. They have responsibility for more than 390, 000 members of
the Navy and control an annual budget of more than $130 billion.
They are the equivalent of a corporate C–suite. Of the more than
3,000 captains who serve in the Navy, roughly 38––barely 1% ––make
the cut to admiral each year.
In 2001 the chief of naval operations––the Navy's CEO––asked
retired Vice Admiral Phil Quast, who had spent 38 years in the Navy,
to establish the program that became the Executive Learning Office.
"Of 238 admiral positions, fewer than 40 are concerned with actual
war fighting, " Quast notes. "The vast majority is doing jobs
analogous to that of a CEO, CTO, CFO, COO or other functional
business areas. Our job is to help them develop the business acumen
they need to run the business of the Navy as excellent stewards of
the public's money and its trust."
