Women In History Mystery:

The Legal History Blog reports that the Virginia Historical Society is offering a $1,000 reward to the person who best convinces them of the identity of this earl 19th century woman.

"The problem we pose for 2011–12 concerns a Thomas Jefferson letter. We do not know the answer. Perhaps it is an unsolvable mystery, but perhaps you can find an answer that makes sense. The person who submits the most cogent explanation by May 1, 2012, will receive a check for $1,000 at the annual VHS awards luncheon in July.

On January 13, 1807, President Thomas Jefferson included a cryptic comment when he wrote a letter to his treasury secretary, Albert Gallatin. The relevant passage in the president's letter reads, "The appointment of a woman to office is an innovation for which the public is not prepared, nor am I."

The mystery: who was the woman? "

There are some golf fans who I have talked to that say the PGA Tour shouldn't host tournaments at venues that are so easy. But again, I think it is good for the game of golf to have some tournaments played at courses, such as TPC Summerlin. I don't find myself enjoying watching tournaments where everyone struggles to make par, although I can certainly see why others would. Having diversity is something that benefits the game of golf, in that no two golf courses ever seem the same, and to have that represented in tournaments on the PGA Tour is in many respects mirroring what golf truly encompasses.

Mr Reiss says he has not been surprised by the victims. "People are much more discerning now about how they spend their money and you have to keep moving forward as a brand. If you don't have that sense of uniqueness or give customers what they want, you are going to struggle. You have to be adaptable and understand your customer. It's a tough world out there."
