Johannesburg - Presidency spokesperson Mac Maharaj's attorneys laid charges against the Mail & Guardian newspaper and two of its journalists on Saturday."Attorneys acting on behalf of Mac Maharaj, laid charges against Mr Sam Sole, Mr Stefaans Brümmer and the Mail & Guardian Newspaper for contravening the provisions of section 41(6) of the National Prosecuting Act of 1998," Maharaj said in a statement.They also requested the police to investigate whether records of National Prosecuting Authority inquiries had been stolen.The charges relate to Friday's edition of the newspaper, the front page of which featured a picture of Maharaj alongside the words: "Censored. We cannot bring you this story in full due to a threat of criminal prosecution."Big black blocks were printed over about three quarters of the page, where the story would have been published.'Won't hold up in court'The Act makes it an offence to disclose evidence gathered in camera by a section 28 inquiry - providing for a maximum penalty of 15 years in jail, reported the Mail & Guardian Online on Thursday evening.Mail & Guardian editor Nic Dawes said the charges would "not wash in any court", as Maharaj's instigation of legal action leaned heavily on the newspaper's possession - rather than disclosure - of the information."The Act pertains to the disclosure of information, [the way the story was published] we did not disclose it," he said."There is absolutely no basis in fact or in law for charges to be brought against us. It is clearly a pretext to use the resources of the police to search for information on our sources and the state of our investigation into the arms deal."Dawes said the newspaper would seek legal advice.He said he hoped the attention the incident had generated would raise public awareness about threats to press freedom in South Africa."The public has the right to know," said Dawes.
Very Clever of him. Now he can not stop the evidence coming out in court. A very good move from M&G
No doubt the powerful unfluential and uber connected Mac's case will be funded by you and me - the stupid bottomless tax payer - for the sole purpose to defend is massive EGO
Come clean Mac and stop harrassing us. And ubuse our taxes to defend your ego.
The thieves and criminals are trying to cover up- with state resources
Check Robert Gumede's next move. Mac Maharaj is a puppy against this mongul. Dont they have ties. We want Robert Gumede exposed for what he is.
Another disgraceful member of the 'ruling party' about to be shown to be as corrupt as the rest. Really, the real prisoners are running the asylum.
The more I read your comments the more I understand why Robert kicked the whole lot of you out of Zim. Feel free to not like this comment.
@Refilwe ~ The more I read your comments, the more I understand why Africa is in the state it is and always will be. Feel free to not like this comment too.
Mac Maharaj knows that Gorbachov started PRIVATISATION before 1985.
The chinese admitted in 1997, when they got Hong Kong back, that China was 50 years behind Hong Kong.
The indians have dropped the central control economic system, so loved by the ANC, Association of National Criminals, doing Abortion Murder and Genocide.
And Mac Maharaj was involved all the way, ordering the death of People who refused to strike in the old days. He was there when the ANC bought submarines, corvettes and fighter planes, but refused to buy medication for 5 Million aids sufferers.
He was there when they tried to pass Benzene off as Virodene, to kill off the 5 Million aids sufferers.
He was there when they decided to kill 800 000 South African babies
Abortionist; Murderer; Genocider!
Maharaj was the commander and master brain of the dreadful "Operation Vula" during the 1980's when the ANC shifted the focus of their terrorist bombing from 20% to 80% civilian targets.
He is directly responsible for the coldblooded murder of thousands of innocent men, women and children of all races. He thought nothing of it to plant bombs in shopping centres, fast food restaurants, bars, golf clubs and even hospitals.
And what for? All so he and his buddies in the ANC could steal the taxpayers blind in among many others, the now infamous arms deal of 1999.
@Rafilwe, - seeing as you mention the "whole lot of you" who Mugabe kicked out, just be man enough to say white people........ why not also mention the "little figure" of the 3 million mostly black Zimbabweans who are now living and working in South Africa because of the injustices & persecution they faced, the daily struggle they faced just to live, and those who are left there still do face, under a brutal ZanuPF gvt, who allow little if NO free press. Let's not forget the other 1 million or so, who have gone abroad. Is that how low you want SA to get? Where people are dying of starvation, cholera, HIV (oh yes SA already have a high rate of HIV infection......) Where you have to stand in line with a satchel full of money to buy a basket full of groceries, as once was the situation....... They have just swapped the white farmers for the Chinese developers who are only interested in exploiting Africa for the good of China, to feed their HUGE population, to feed their stomachs and their bank balances - what they get out of Africa they will NOT put back much into it, it will all mostly go back to China. So yes, Mugabe got what he wanted, he kicked most of the whites out, but at what price? At least the white farmers were feeding their own country, a country most of them were born in and called home, unlike the Chinese. There were no petrol or food shortages from 1980 - 2000. Let's hope South Africa does not go down the same road, otherwise it will be ripe for Chinese pickings.
Amazing that a Gupta guppy or two hasn't surfaced here or there from the murky depths of swamp scavenging - for a while as well.
Since "that" government inner circle mouthpiece rag started publishing - that name has also effectively been censored into silence and every single tender along with it too.
Is this attack on M&G a series of legal loopholes that team Menzi Simelane must support in the transformation of Justice to suit a certain agenda's guidelines, now being ferret style prompted by Moegoe and Hlophe under the baby-face (no longer) umbrella orchestrated by Kwa-Zuma Incorporated and the sudden about turn in "investigations allowed"?
Could it be that from the dead and gone Modise through a Long List, that each has more than 783 skeletons?
Check Mate
Go M&G...you good thing!
Mac was involved in the arms deal...sod him...slimy piece of work!
Now we see why the information bill is so VITAL to ruling party. Dont have to worry about a leak!
He's testing to see the reviews and ammend the bill to suit . Don't give him anything .
Typical ANC...if they cannot get their way inside the law then they simply break the law or change the law.... they will use every dirty trick in the book to get the likes of Nic Dawes (M&G editor) jailed for 25 years if they reveal any of the ANC corruption scandals
Typical. Mac - admit and let it be. It might be a lot worse if the truth is eventually published. Don't be like the rest of the ministers and police commissioners.
Mr Maharaj has a right, in return for is co-operation with the investigation, to non-disclosure of his interview. That he must have been told when he agreed to it. The newspaper were not stopped from publishing it by a court order, but by the fact that doing so would be illegal. He simply pointed the fact to them and they retracted. Now he should be congradulated for stopping a criminal dead in his tracks before the crime is commited. Journalism in SA is a disgrace. The truth might never be known because the 4th estate is more interested in sensationalism than good quality work. It's their fault for attempting tomake their own front page the scene of a crime.
It's not journalism "that is a disgrace".
The arms deal is the REAL disgrace.
This issue should never have arisen in the first place - if is was not for your disgraceful currupt government and heros comrades cadres (you keep on voting for until Jesus comes) who clinched the corrupt arms deal in the first place.
I find it amusing yet distasteful that your sentiments are against the free press who try to stop the coorupt tsunami.
No, instead your sentiments seems to be with thugs the ANC has been hosting and protecting dutifully and loyally all along since the scandal surficed.
Where is your patriotism?
Absolutely spot on Thabo. Mac Maharaj has called the bluff and the M&G's flimsy theatrics are shown up as rank cowardice. The M&G should have worked out that Mac was going to go after them and anyone else who tries this on. What did they think he was going to do?
You people are so stupid, so eager to serve the ruling party in spite of all the evidence. You actually deserve your own country because your actions, by voting, also affect the intelligent members of SA, the 5% who pay tax and pay for your ministers
Do you know what Maharaj was being quizzed about? I presume you do not and now you won't be able to find out either at least through the press. Legally everything is being shrouded in mystery. What if it was about the misuse of State Funds, yours and my money? The fact is it is impossible to run a healthy democracy if things which the voters need to know about are shrouded in mystery.
@Thabo: What is your version of the truth? It must be clear to you that there is more than one truth, the strentgh of a democratic country is that many versions are open for debate. Stifle that debate and you are sliding one way down a very slippery slope. Obviously there also has to be the right to privacy and the right to impartial recourse through the courts. But using the mechanics of the state to supress information and protect criminals is dangerous and utterly dectructive.
@Refilwe, thank you for defending me and trying to make me feel welcome. I too will defend you and try to make you feel welcome. Thabo, you too. But this story from the M&G exposes the truth, not a lie. Would you rather that the press does not print the truth and does not let us know what is going on? Would you rather that this whole scandal gets swept under the rug as if it never happened? I would think that what people fought for was freedom, including freedom of speech and the press. If the DA does something sinister, I want to know about it. It will seriously make me consider changing my vote. Why should the ruling party be immune?
THabo, I think the point is that NOTHING has come of the arms deal "investigstion" and that Mac is complicit in it. My view is the moment a person commits a crime, he has forfeited any and ALL rights. My view may seem a bit extreme, but to take the emotion out of it, look at countries like the US and UK where these governments have used these "rights" to ensure their elite are never prosecuted.
If you have nothing to hide, then why try to hide it.
I'll back the 4th estate, even with all their faults, over a dishonest government any day of the week.
get a life - and save south africa from the likes of Mahrahj...
This week the M&G found out what the ANC thinks of the constitution of South Africa… Nothing! They wipe their backsides with the constitution. They feel nothing for freedom of speech or the public's interest. As long as they can steal taxpayer's money and nobody complains all is OK. So Maharaj, who was one of the main brains involved in the arms deal, censored them.
What the M&G found out was that Maharaj lied under oath to the Scorpions (now known as the Hawks) and to prove this the M&G had to quote certain transcripts.
The questions thus far is....
1) If he did nothing illegal and the bribe money he received was innocent, why did he lie under oath?
2) If he did nothing illegal, what is he trying to hide by gagging the newspaper?
Investigators suspect that bribes of over one billion rand were paid to facilitate the deal.[5] Jacob Zuma, Thabo Mbeki, Schabir Shaik and his brother Chippy Shaik and the late Joe Modise have all been mentioned.[5] [6]Andrew Feinstein, an ANC Member of Parliament and the former African National Congress leader of Parliament's public accounts watchdog Scopa, resigned when the party moved to curtail investigations into the arms deal. He wrote a book called After the Party with an insider's view of the process.
Whistleblower Patricia de Lille alleged in Parliament that she had evidence of three payments by warship supplier Thyssen-Krupp on January 29, 1999, each of R500,000, to the ANC, to the Nelson Mandela Children's Fund and to the Community Development Foundation, a Mozambique charity associated with Mandela's wife, Graça Machel.[2]
I don't care much whether Mr Maharaj is guilty or innocent, only that the truth must come out and if he is indeed implicated, must face the concequences. But you can't excuse the media for shoddy work and criminal conduct. We read the trash they churn out all the time and accept it as fact. We also want to defend their criminal acts because we beleive it is "in the public interest". If you're ever close to a story or the people implicated in it you'll know how much facts are distorted and blatant lies told by the holier than though 4th estate. They know that by not divulging their source they are habouring a criminal who stole and gave them the info. They also know they can misrepresent any facts to sensationalise the story. If they have the courage of their conviction then they must publish and be damned by the laws. Yes, I hate corruption as much as all you lot, but the brown envelope media we have in SA is, I repeat, a disgrace.
Let us hope Maharaj walked into the trap and in court must, in his own defence, divulge what he is keeping secret. The wheel turns.
My question is: Just WHY was the color of the blocks used in the M&G article BLACK?
Why not white or some other color, like PimpPurple? Why Black, why?
Ohhhh puhleez people , just put on your humor shoes for once. Jeez whats up with this stoicims, South Africa?
Malema has hurt y'all in many ways than you can ever imagine!!!
Black ink is the cheapest.
I thought the world went paperless and inkless about a decade ago, Tony. Microsoft word provides PimpPurple for free.And Tippex is white.
Why Black????
It's not a technicolor paper
I'd like to see a nice violet! Maybe black ink is just cheaper (because of bulk purchasing power -eish, just managed to head off that one), and they are cost conscious?
They used black in in the apartheid era too to highlight censorship. Get a life and get over the colour of your skin.
The whole tradegy is : Macs geat grand children i.s.o. being proud of the legacy of their great grand father, would now be shy of their heritage. A friend of mine once said his father was a skollie in his younger days . Could there be any worst feeling , than that if you children or grandchildren refer to you as a criminal?
We as South Aficans ask no more or no less than the facts.
Then we can form our opinions and either feed our fantasies or starve our fantasies. It is our democratic right.
If politicians and other public figures don't like it, well, we do not force them to cling to their positions.
post the petition M & G I WILL PUT MY PAW ON IT.To hell with that has been hippy expose whatever you have please
Can the info be "leaked" to Wikileaks...?
What a stupid F#ck. This is every ones country and as voters we are entitled to know all and every thing about how badly the government is doing , when they rip us off , who did it . If any of our soft judges had to even consider your case then we are already suffering under the info bill.M+G are sorting you . Heh Heh . STAMP OUT THE DISHONEST ,CORRUPT THUGS .
Spot on Kevin - but that's the nature of a thug - cover up your tracks
We are all share holders in SA and have the right to know what is going on in SA. Weather good or bad.
So now I understand the world according to Refilwe. Because the slimeball Maharaj went to jail because of his actions, he is a hero in Refilwe's eyes. Being a hero means you can do, say, steal, along with being as corrupt as you want to without consequences. No wonder Africa is in the state it's in and always will be. Hero my ass!
@ Refillable IronBrain Inakoma
Fighting for democracy and spending time on Robben Island does not give you the right to steal, lie, cheat and be corrupt.
The sad fact is politics has a particular attraction for people who only want to serve themselves. That is why freedom of the press is absolutely vital for the healthy functioning of a democracy so that the public can hear what nefarious things these folk might be getting up to. Section 41(6) of the National Prosecuting Act of 1998 is clearly an erosion of press freedom and should be tested in the Constitutional Court. Maharaj is obviously not much of a supporter of a free press as he is invoking that very section.
What you hiding now. ??? It's is going to surface . Get ready to wipe the crap off the fan.
Looking for another free Disneyland trip?
Only one reason for Maharaj's actions, HE HAS SOMETHING TO HIDE. He is as corrupt as are the rest of the ANC people involved in the arms deal.
Before you make a loose comment at least google search Mac and you will a million great things this man has done for this country, it is men like Mac that called for a political solution instead of war, papers like the mail and guardian seek to undermine the ANC and our most loved heroes with it, I stand to be corrected but I have never heard a story about the factions that exist in the DA and how the party has been infiltrated by the old national party (helen zille being the good guy in resisting their intentions). I have never heard a story about how sun city has declared a loss for the last 8 years, while taking what should be tax money out of this country. I have never heard a story convicting Lonmin of making billions from their mines in the north west while the Bapo people, the landowners, live in shacks and young boys sit under tree's without hope. Yet men like Mac have told our people bed time stories about how one day everything will turn in their favour. Its sad, we black people have done everything to make white people feel apart of this country, there where a few that wanted to rape and destroy your legacy but we fought for your rights and freedom. What will it take for you to believe that we want and need you in this country as one.
How about just giving us South AFricans the facts? We will make up our own minds.
What's wrong with such an approach?
@Refilwe ~ If the people you regard as 'heroes' hadn't stolen well over 30 billion, maybe people wouldn't be living in shacks and maybe young boys wouldn't be sitting under trees without hope. Think boet, think!
Tragic, that's all I can say. Reading the drivel written by Refilwe and the shallow reasoning behind it, one can only pray that one day all SA's population will be mentally emancipated. I'm thinking particularly about the socalled ANC supporters who follow the party blindly with unquestionable loyalty. The sad thing is that they believe they are the sole and legitimate "owners" Of South Africa. Worst still, that their leaders have "earned" the justification to be corrupt.
@Rafilwe Rakoma, "What will it take for you to believe that we want and need you in this country as one". Thank you for that particular comment, (and I don't mean it sarcastically) It's a point where we can meet in the middle. Whites ARE a part of this country and always will be unless EVERY single white man, woman and child flees this country or is killed, heaven forbid the latter. My ID/passport states that I am a South African CITIZEN, South Africa is where Iive & it is also my home and no one can take that away from me. Most of us whites pay our taxes - and not all of us are rich miners or business people, many of us have jobs with salaries that are not excessive and that get our families through the month, if only just and many also live from hand to mouth. I certainly don't believe the majority of black people are incompetent or without good will, and I've certainly seen people of ALL races who do lack competency & have no good will, but I can only hope they are the minority of the citizens of this country. That said, surely in a free country it is also the right of whites, as law abiding & tax paying citizens, to voice their opinions without fear of being persecuted or labelled ungrateful and racist, because they do not agree with certain gvt policies?
At Refilwe Ironman Rakoma, One bad deed cancels all the good done. To help you:- A priest that helps a hundred boys make a good life for themselves, is not good if he raped two while showing them the way.
@Thabo ans all that share your perspective. You have every right to your version of the truth, as I have mine. I absolutely do not agree with you, BUT I will shout as loud as you, and louder, to defend your right to hold and discuss your version.
Mac must know you don't start an ink fight with someone who buys ink by the barrel.
If he has nothing to hide he would be quite happy for the M & G to disclose it- I hope that the tax payer will not be paying for his legal costs.
The mail & guardian is anti-goverment, so all its machinations must be seen in that light. In my opinion it is a very evil newspaper.
We all long for the truth and the facts.
It is a noble endeavour by whoever to bring us reality.
What's wrong Vegi? Because the Mail & Guardian doesn't bow to the ANCrime Syndicate it makes them an evil newspaper? What part of the truth do you think is evil?
@ Irene
What is wrong with Vegi?
Firstly his heroes appear to be crooks.
Secondly he is a blind supporter of the ANC's socialist bull. He does not even want to exercise any independent thought.
He dislikes the facts that the M&G is in possession of. It challenges his perceptions, hence he labels M&G evil.
If the veidence exists and is real, only the criminals will challenge it, by saying that the truth is invalid because it was improperly obtained.
Vegi is part of the problem.
The majority of our people who own this country do not approve of what the mail & guardian is doing. The others who have their loyalties elsewhere approve of the evil deeds of this paper.
How is this "owning" going for you dude?
I am with you my good man.
The M&G has always exposed government malfeasance going back to the days when the Afrikaner Nationalist apartheid government was forever taking their predecessor to court to prevent it publishing the truth about their wrongdoing. There's nothing "evil" about revealing corruption, or perhaps it's only "evil" when ANC corruption is revealed?
The majority of this country's citizens, in fact ALL this country's citizens, are entitled to know what is going on behind the many screens.
In other words, once again, we are all entitled and allowed what the facts are on which we should judge those in power.
Those in power will agree, unless of course they have reasons of their own not to let the man/woman in the street be witnesses to the truth.
Viva M&G Viva!
The people who 'own' this country ie. the taxpayers, fully approve of what you're doing.
Expose these thieving swines and keep up the good work.
@Vegi: Now that you "own this country", I suppose you also own the right to destroy it? The only problem is that you're destroying it for your children, and unfortunately for ours as well. When are you going to wake up and realise the damage you are doing? If Maharaj has nothing to hide, why on earth is he afraid of the truth? This is the same man who once claimed that Mr Bolelani Ngcuka was once an apartheid spy. He had lied and was proven wrong by a judicial investigation. Do you know why he had lied? Because Mr Ngcuka as the then head of the Scorpions, wanted to investigate the arms deal! Mr Ngcuka is also black like us and also a top ANC man. But he wanted a clean South Africa.
Vegi, The Bible teaches me that 'the earth belongs to the Lord and the fullness thereof,' yet you speak of 'the majority of our people who own this country.' Could you show me the 'title deeds please?
This ANC government is proving to be the most corrupt government in the history of South Africa. Even its stalwart head of Investigations Willie Hoffmeyr says that it is looting as much as R30 billion a year though corruption and incompetence. To think that they are actually stealing money meant for the poor. Millions who are living in shacks without running water. This ANC regime is worse than the apartheid regime according to Tutu. Its massive corruption is a crime against the humanity of South Africa. Most South Africans will be praying for its downfall one day just as the Zimbabwean people are praying for the evil Mugabe and his ZANUPF regime to be cast into the dustbins of history. ZANUPF and the ANC are uncannily similar.
Vegi, I looked at you profile, for a moment there I thought you were Malema writing as "vegi", but remember he had this computer fear thing.
Hopefully it all comes out in the wash... kudos to M&G... In what capacity are they being taken on ... In Mac's personal capacity or in the name of the government?
The difference between Lonmin and Southern Sun and the government is that the government is using taxpayer funds in corruption. You may not like what Lonmin and Southern Sun are doing, but they are using private investors money to make a profit, they are not using taxpayers money to line their own pockets.
Our longing for the truth can no longer be allowed to go unsatisfied.
If the M&G can no longer be allowed to satisfy the need then there must be other ways.
All we want is the truth. No court cases or threats.
Trust South Africans to make up their own minds.
Race and stuggles and political philosophies and the law are not substitutes for the truth and facts.
The latter are all we ask.
All of us. No matter what our political affiliatins or religion or philosophy.
Just what is factual. We can then decide where the facts fit in with our individual approaches to life. What is so unreasonable about our wishes?
I really don't think it matters what colour the man is, or what political party he belongs to, or what other deeds he may or may not have been party to in the past. Corruption is corruption, and if he's been involved in something that amounts to corruption, then expose it! I see a FAT portion of my salary disappear into the government's budget every month, and I would very much like to know that it's not being mis-spent. This arms deal has had a very rotten smell about it from the start. Let's get the truth out, for once and for all, so that we can move on now.
Mac Maharaj is a slimey little man. Wouldn't trust him to cut my toe nails.
@ Irene
Or lick my a....
i hope my fave newspaper counter sues and burys the corrupt anc ass licker
Possibly poor Maharaj is afraid that some of his comrades might know what he told the scorpions about them. what a threat to media freedom
and so the rot continues....while cover-ups become the rule of the day!
Well done M&G, STOP laws that protect misappropriation of public funds
I was under the impression that news media was there to keep the general public informed on various aspects of news which certain government officials decline to print the truth. Keep it up M&G you are doing the public a favour and not treating us like mushrooms.
I have just watched an interview of Mac Maharaj by Justice Malala on e-News. Mac Maharaj was arrogant, evasive and clearly in a corner.
In my humble opinion, he is a liar and is as guilty as sin.
Can anyone imagine what would happen by a slim chance the arms deal was made public and all those who were given millions in bribes were named and shamed? We all realise that this will never happen. The Macs are just covering their own arses when media blackouts become the order of the day.
@ Comurray
I hope you are wrong.
Knew he was also dodgy....anyone close to Zuma is- (Cele etc) (and anyone in the ANC distant from him is also suspect hahahaha). This is better than Isidingo . The ANC is harvesting this country and taking a dump on the heads of the poor...yawn just another day in Africa....Maybe vote DA next time ?
I love the fact that in an interview on etv he was asked in simple english. "Did you accept a bribe? " - his response was that he will not answer these questions. Surely if you're not guilty you'd say no. Nail the guy along with all these other corrupt people. Clean up time!!!

How Does Your Stock Plan Team Stack Up?
More than 200 public and private companies recently participated in our stock plan administration benchmark survey. From technology providers to healthcare and pharmaceutical companies, there was a wide range of participation across industries and equity plan design. Here is what we found to be true around how teams are spending their time, weaknesses and strengths in regards to technical skills, and a few ideas on how you can improve processes.
How Stock Plan Administrators Can Communicate Potential Dividend Equivalent Income
Stock options have been granted to executives at a regional airline for many years. After losing two senior executives to competitors recently, the airline's board decided to award performance shares in order to provide current year income on vested shares through dividend equivalents. Dividend equivalents are payments of cash or additional company stock an executive receives after the units vest. While stock options do not pay dividends, dividend equivalents can offer executives the flexibility to increase or supplement their income. This example explains the benefits and how they work.
Trends (And Gaps) In Employee Stock Plan Communications Revealed By Survey Of Multinational Companies
If you're as much into stock plan education as we are, you're probably also really into survey data. That makes today a good day for both of us at this blog. We have been perusing the 2015 Global Equity Incentives Survey by PricewaterhouseCoopers and the NASPP. The survey presents questionnaire data from 245 multinational companies with employees in 75 countries. The researchers found that the use of equity awards by the surveyed companies generally continued to grow in 2014 and 2015, after falling in 2009–2011 and rebounding in 2012. With this growth in the use of equity has come an expansion in stock plan education and communications.
Dos and Don'ts for Year-End Equity Compensation Planning for Your Participants
As the year winds down, there are a few dos and don'ts that may impact how your participants plan to exercise vested stock options before year-end. In order to make sure employees get the most value out of their equity awards, it may be helpful to provide some considerations for equity compensation planning.
Are Complexity and Clarity at Odds in Executive Financial Planning?
Whoever coined the phrase "cash is king" wasn't talking about executive pay, which as you know has become increasingly weighted toward equity compensation. Has the complexity of executive compensation trumped clarity in executive financial planning? That's the challenge for today's C-suite executives. The longer executives have worked for the company, the more likely they have accumulated various combinations of executive compensation and rewards. Over the course of a decade or two, the mix can include stock options, restricted stock grants, stock appreciation rights, employee stock purchase plans or performance arrangements. Few executives would say they have a good grasp on the particulars of their company stock holdings, tax treatments and a game plan to optimize these rewards.
Beware of the Modification
A modification is a change in any term of an award that is not included in your original equity compensation plan such as a change in number of shares, exercise price, transferability features, settlement provisions, or vesting conditions. Modifications to awards can result in additional compensation expense for the company. Below are a few examples of common events that trigger modification accounting, as well as those that do not.
First Official Recommendation from the Investor Advocate
On February 24, 2014 the Securities and Exchange Commission established the Office of the Investor Advocate. According to the SEC, the purpose of the Office of the Investor Advocate encompasses three core functions: (1) to provide a voice for investors, (2) to assist retail investors, and (3) to support the SEC's Investor Advisory Committee.
Determining Eligible Employees: from Entry Level to Top Executives
When building an equity compensation plan, companies have to consider which employees will be eligible to receive equity. Are you looking to develop an executive-only plan focusing on senior management or a broader program where all employees may participate? Both have their pros and cons, and pulling guidance from larger corporate goals and vision can help you lay out a plan that will drive the right results.
Who's on Your Stock Plan Communication Team?
Communicating an equity-based compensation program requires effective collaboration of multidisciplinary internal stakeholders (e.g., finance, human resources, legal) and external service providers (e.g., brokers, transfer agent, software vendors). Thinking of each of these parties as members of your stock plan communication team will help to break up the responsibilities and coordinate efforts to work towards a common goal – increasing participant satisfaction with the equity plan.

She begins with a rather downtempo version of the 1920s Ida Cox blues standard, "Wild Women Never Get The Blues," perhaps the only disappointment on the album. The song is usually a celebration, but this one just lies there. Thematically, Count Basie's "Goin' To Chicago," presented later in this album, bears a similar message and is delivered much more appropriately, with a punchy up-tempo performance aided by a Chico Freeman tenor sax solo.
While Mariama's expressive voice is well-suited for blues singing, I prefer her approach to jazz singing on such titles as "Young and Foolish," with a cooking Freeman solo, as well as "You Don't Know What Love Is," from the pens of Ray/DePaul. The rather forgotten Donny Hathaway/Leroy Hutson soul ballad "Tryin' Times" is given a fine dusting off, as well as "Home," the ballad from the Broadway musical version of The Wiz, which is unearthed quite nicely. Ivan Lins' popular ballad from the 1990s, "Love Dance," shows the romantic side of Mariama; she concludes with a version of Stevie Wonder's "Knocks Me Off My Feet."
Track Listing: Wild Women Never Get The Blues; Home; Young And Foolish; I'll Be So Glad; You Don't Know What Love Is; Love Dance; Goin' To Chicago; Tryin' Times; Knocks Me Off My Feet.

September 8, 2005
Rising health costs are a serious problem in the United States. A new paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) finds that many workers are sacrificing other types of insurance to keep paying for health insurance.
The authors examined the response to health insurance costs among almost 3,000 employees at a single large firm. Employees are offered defined contributed benefit plans. These plans offer a base amount of coverage for a variety of areas, such as health, life insurance, disability and retirement. If employees want additional coverage in any area, they can either pay for it outright from their pretax earning or reduce benefits in one area and shift them to another.
During the three-year study, noncatastrophic health care prices went up. Employees had to pay for some of the other benefits, such as disability and life insurance, or pay the premiums for more comprehensive health plans.
- Two-thirds of the health insurance premium increase was paid for with wages and the remaining third from a reduction in other coverage.
- Some employees simply shifted to less generous plans, such as one that only covers catastrophic illness.
Consequently, rising health insurance costs are not only reducing take home pay -- and hence consumer spending -- they also are lowering insurance purchases against a variety of other risks. The authors warn that as health insurance becomes more expensive, employees will become increasingly vulnerable to other non-health care related risks, such as disability or premature death.
Source: Matthew Davis, "Effects of Rising Health Insurance Premiums," NBER Digest, August 2005; based upon: Dana Goldman, Neeraj Sood and Arleen Leibowitz, "Wage and Benefit Changes in Response to Rising Health Insurance Costs," National Bureau of Economic Research, Working Paper No. 11063, January 2005.

Overalls: Vintage Guess | Shirt: Vintage | Shoes: Topshop
I LOVE farmer's markets. Whenever I have any extra money that isn't immediately spent on a ton of clothes from Goodwill or ramen (both the 45 cent kind and the restaurant goodness), you already know I will always cash out at farmer's markets.
The overalls that I'm wearing were purchased from this fine market a couple months ago so I decided to stomp around in these bad boys. I paired them with my favorite go-to striped long sleeve shirt and to keep up with my daily dose of Japanese style, I put my white socks (which I should probaaaaably wash now...) with my metallic Topshop wedges.

Customer Reviews
What You'll Get
Having a baby face can have unforeseen benefits, such as being mistaken for a famous baby actor. Look younger with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
- $99 for one microdermabrasion treatment and mini facial (a $200 value)
- $159 for two microdermabrasion treatments and two mini facials (a $400 value)
- $219 for three microdermabrasion treatments and three mini facials (a $600 value)

An aesthetician uses a diamond-tipped wand to remove dead skin from the face during a microdermabrasion treatment. This leaves the skin looking younger and more uniform, with fewer age spots and fine lines. During a mini facial, botanical elixirs laden with antioxidants rehydrate the face and complete the process.

The Fine Print
Promotional value expires 180 days after purchase. Amount paid never expires. Limit 1 per person, may buy 3 additional as gifts. Limit 1 per visit. Valid only for option purchased. Appointment required. 24- hour cancellation notice required. Must arrive 15 minutes ahead of time to fill out paperwork. All services must be used by the same person. Merchant is solely responsible to purchasers for the care and quality of the advertised goods and services.
About Ethos Spa
If it turns out practice doesn't make perfect, Ethos Spa's medical director, Dr. Hardik Soni, will be very disappointed. Dr. Soni, who specializes in non-invasive and minimally invasive cosmetic procedures, has performed more than 35,000 laser treatments over the course of his career. At his spa, he works with a team of plastic surgeons and aestheticians to perform even more, turning to laser beams' power for a variety of purposes: minimizing the visibility of unsightly veins, tightening skin, and soothing acne. The med spa's services extend beyond laser treatments, too. The team also instills clients with a youthful glow via microdermabrasion, Botox injections, facials, and making them sleep in glow-in-the-dark cribs.

Rapper Chip Chocolate finally released his highly anticipated (?) music video for the song "Cookie Dance" on Wednesday, and we have to say that we're, well … we're amused. The song first came out as an iTunes single on September 25, and made No. 68 on the UK Singles Chart.
The official music video opens with a young Chip Chocolate sticking his hands in the cookie jar, much to his mom's frustration. Even though she offers him an apple and tells him eating cookies will get him nowhere in life, he takes the cookie. The scene then cuts to the rapper as he is today, enjoying cookies with a giant chocolate chip cookie on a chain around his neck (think Flava Flav's clock).
While we're not sure the "Cookie Dance" will win any MTV VMAs next year, we're pretty sure the video will become a viral hit, as it trended on Twitter and gained 2,000 views (and more than 21,300 comments) on YouTube in the span of a few hours. As is predictable, the video is getting some dislikes, it has more than 63,000 likes as of Wednesday evening.
While we'd like to think that Chip Chocolate is a serious rapper, we think we know better. The rapper is actually Jesse Wellens, half of the duo behind the YouTube channel PrankvsPrank. Wellens and his girlfriend, Jeanna, like to film themselves playing pranks on each other, then posting them to YouTube, where their channel has more than 548 million views and four million subscribers.
The duo also has a vlogging YouTube channel, called BFvsGF, where they post daily videos about their lives. It was there that they introduced Chip Chocolate with the video "Fruit Assassin."
While we're a bit skeptical about Chip Chocolate's intentions in the rapping world, we have to say, "Do the cookie dance!"

The Greenhouse Effect: Origins, Falsification, & Replacement
Timothy Casey B.Sc. (Hons.)
Consulting Geologist
First Uploaded ISO:2009-Oct-13
This article focuses on the lack of a clear thermodynamic definition of the greenhouse effect. The idea of a "greenhouse" effect was initially introduced in 1824, an age when only one mode of heat transfer was known and when the theory of "aether" was used to explain how light and heat were conducted through space. As the greenhouse effect was refuted by a simple experiment in 1909, this article finds that the mechanism of heat residence in materials subject to incident radiation, referred to in the modern misuse of the term "greenhouse effect", would be better referred to via Kirchhoff's Law. Furthermore, this modern reincarnation of the Greenhouse Effect, perhaps more aptly called the Kirchhoff Effect, is controlled by the material property of emissivity; a thermodynamic property that is poorly understood in translucent materials and as yet undocumented with respect to the temperature of a radiating translucent-body at thermal equilibrium. This article, in clarifying emissivity in this context, critically analyses the role of "greenhouse gases" in a modern radiation budget and finds that the putative relationship between carbon dioxide concentration and air temperature, has no evidentiary underpinning whatsoever. In fact, simple experimentation has shown that not only is visible light not converted into heat on absorbtion, but that carbon dioxide concentration has little if any effect on air temperature in the urban environment. This would indicate an equivalence of carbon dioxide and air emissivities and ergo, that carbon dioxide concentration makes little if any difference to the Kirchhoff Effect as it applies to the temperature of the atmospheric gas mixture we call air. As such, the the mechanism by which the addition of carbon dioxide warms the atmosphere has no empirical basis. Therefore the assertion that global warming is anthropogenic, may well be philosophical and perhaps political, but it is most certainly not scientific.

Secrets of Success
I Just Graduated From College... Like Less Than Twelve Hours Ago...
Sunday, May 12, 2013
And all I can think about is how damn fat I've gotten.
I cannot even describe how pissed off I am about this. I worked my ASS off over the past four years, I battled emotional issues, lost a ton of weight, lost my grandfather, my uncle, my best friend, I double majored, I graduated with a 3.7 GPA. I WORKED MY ASS OFF! I should be bouncing off the walls with glee at the fact that I worked so hard and gained so much knowledge, experience, skill!... But no, the only gain I'm concerned with is the twenty pounds I put on over the past year.
This all made me realize something... Graduating is one of the most amazing things I'll accomplish in my life. This is a huge milestone. Gaining weight can't take away from that... But making poor health and diet decisions and playing the ignorance card in order to be able to party and eat a donut or mozzarella sticks at three in the morning or eat McDonald's three times a week... THAT can take away from the milestone that I completed today.
I know the real reason I'm bothered by the weight gain is the way in which I gained the weight. I know I'm just upset that I stopped taking care of my body. I know I'm upset because I stopped doing the right things and now I feel week, tired, pudgy, bloated all the time and, hey, I don't even fit into a lot of my Summer clothes. Yippe.
However, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I'm going to start today with a clean eating diet and three workouts per week. I want to take care of myself and I finally feel that I have the energy, focus and most importantly, the TIME, to workout and eat right and not get overly stressed about it.
Today I am going to weigh myself on a good, accurate scale (the one in my basement is kinda crappy and whenever it gives me a weight I go, "oh, psh, that could be like two pounds off", NO MORE). I'm buying myself an electronic scale and I'm facing the cold hard truth about my weight and then I'm going to destroy it! I'm going to get my awesome, strong body back. I'm going to get my self confidence back! I'm going to be healthy!

Congratulations on your graduation. Don't be upset about your weight gain. You learned the valuable lesson that it's easy to let life can get in the way of our best plans. There will be other busy/stressful times in your life. Now you are aware that proper food and exercise has to remain a top priority.

St. Augustine-Palm Coast Council Named "Outstanding"
by Navy League of the United States - Click for Details!
Welcome to the
St. Augustine - Palm Coast
Navy League Council
The St. Augustine - Palm Coast Navy League Council (SAPCNL) is proud to inform the public of the importance of the sea services to the safety and security of our Country. We also sponsor and reward personnel assigned to Naval Aviation and surface Units at NAS Jacksonville & Mayport, and to the Coast Guard at Mayport & Cecil Field. In addition, SAPCNL supports its own Sea Cadet Battalion and deserving high school students by awarding scholarships to Cadets in the Junior Reserve Officer's Training Corps (JROTC) at St. Augustine, Nease, Matanzas and Flagler Palm Coast High schools.
What exactly is the
Navy League?
The Navy League of the United States was founded in 1902 with the encouragement of President Theodore Roosevelt. The Navy League is unique among military-oriented associations in that it is a civilian organization dedicated to the education of our citizens, including our elected officials, and the support of the men and women of the sea services and their families. You need not have served in the military to be a member of the Navy League. read more

Yes, it can be done! There are at least seven ways you can sleep absolutely for free. And the best news: none of them involves park benches or sneaking out of hotel windows via the fire escape at 4am.
My favorite? It also happen to be one of the easiest: Couchsurfing. This freebie version of the old hosptiality network model allows you crash on a couch or spare bed in a friendly local's apartment.
Here they all are:
* Some of these techniques do involve joining a club or network for which there is a fee, but actually spending the night each time is free. Besides, those one-time fees tend to cost less than a single night's stay in a mid-priced hotel.

Nah, the bokeh adds a nice arty touch, well done! :D
Those shoes are insane :D This is a great photograph.
Pretty ….
I think it works beautifully
Had to google 'bokeh', and now that i know what it is i think this image is fantastic. It reminds me a little of the HBO Carnival series…
Oh wow thank you! I am a huge fan of that show.. and I was so sad that they canceled it. Thanks for the comment!
Me too!! I wanted a tree tattoo that covered my back until Brother Justin stole my idea… damn anti christ. Lila was my fav…
I just loved that they had a bearded lady. No circus is complete without one. I so miss that show.. I watched it over and over again since there was no third season.. I can't stand that they left it the way it ended in the second season. It was an absolute masterpiece.
this is fantastic, the confusion on her face so suits the editing and bokeh. also love the washed out look of the couch and her hat. great styling. ;-) xox
I love the bokeh, how did you get that effect?
It's just a texture that I changed the colors of and overlayed onto the image. Something you can do when you mess around with layers in photo shop.
there is never to much bookeh!

Disentangles Complexity !
Summary :
Ludo Janssens, Civil Engineer, Founder of "Scarpino Consulting," an independent IT-organisational and business development consulting practice.
With many years of experience I have build my own project approach (DTE Workmethod (*1)) in how to realize companies missions at moments these companies had come to a point of important change in their organisation, mostly driven by a new acquisition event or merger activity.
Advising companies who are prepared to change their world for the better with innovative technology, improved and adapted processes and business engineering models (The Right Enterprise Architecture (*2)) .
I'm an innovative change advisor, focussed on driving profitable and sustainable business growth in a renewed situation.
I respect and admire Companies who have the fortitude to do what is right, focus on long term growth and build truly customer-centric organizations.
In most of the missions i accomplished in the past, i went from 'Building the Approved Plan' to 'Final Realization' (so from A to Z). Most of these missions and programs took around one to in some cases several years of execution.
Today i focuss more on the advising role to CEO's, CIO's and other domain responsible people within companies whereby i can assist and advise the 'day to day' Program/Project Manager in building & reviewing his Transformation Plan and its execution.
Some recent references :
✔ Program Manager in the creation process of VIVIUM insurance company, as an independent advisor and program manager in merging 'Zurich Insurance Belgium' and afterwards integrating 'ING Insurance Belgium' on the 'P&V-insurance' platform creating a 'Common Logical Information Platform (CLIP)'
✔ Program Manager in the creation of CRELAN Bank, as an independent advisor and program manager in merging Centea Bank from KBC bank (650 Agencies) into 'Crédit Agricole Belgium' Bank' creating ONE adapted information platform.
✔ Several missions for GARTNER group as well national as international.
✔ Further a number of change Programs and projects for KRAFT foods, VAN ROEY, ING, BANKSYS (WorldLine), BALOISE, DEXIA, IBM (IS4F), BELFIUS, UNISYS, VOLVO Car, SANTENS Engineering.

(*2) The Right enterprise architecture :
Does it seem that your employees are working harder and harder, yet your company is still losing ground? That you've formulated a rock-solid strategy, yet your company still can't get ahead? That you monitor the market, listen to your customers, and respond to competitors' moves, but your results are still lukewarm?
IF SO, you need to build a solid foundation for business execution - an IT infrastructure and digitalized business processes that automate your company's core capabilities.
Probably we can help you !

(*1) The 'DTE' Workmethod :
Next to the importance of for example PMI, Prince II, ITIL, COBIT and many other equally unmistakable supporting methodologies, those will and can never be the ultimate warranty to success. I have worked out my own 10 success-formulas, those i find indispensable and decisive to reach result and final success (supplementary to the above mentioned). I have started to describe those in more detail and they have become Scarpino's formula's to reach Successfull Project Result.
• Drive :Providing autonomy and responsibility.
• Motivation: How to motivate myself and team.
• Coaching: How to select, develop, motivate and coach.
• Confidence: How to build trust : With all stakeholders.
• Change: How to implement change in organizations.
• Creativity: How to develop creativity (in teams).
• Crafting: how to work in a human centered manner.
• Communication :Bring clear messages at all levels.
• Risk Management :Identificate & mitigate in early stage.
• Recognition, Trust, Respect for Effort & Professionalism.
So Scarpino developped this workmethod" under the name "DTE", it is the shorter name for 'DMCCCCCCRR'-method -). I call it also the 'Down To Earth' Method.
Objective : Go for COST effective Project RESULT.

For Immediate Release
Chicago, IL – January 24, 2012 – Zacks.com announces the list of stocks featured in the Analyst Blog. Every day the Zacks Equity Research analysts discuss the latest news and events impacting stocks and the financial markets. Stocks recently featured in the blog include Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Free Report) , EnCana Corp. (ECA - Free Report) , Devon Energy Corp. (DVN - Free Report) , Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN - Free Report) and Halliburton Co. (HAL - Free Report) .

Here are highlights from Monday's Analyst Blog:
Natural Gas Picture Still Bleak
The U.S. Energy Department's weekly inventory release showed a slightly lower-than-expected drop in natural gas supplies, as warmer-than-normal temperatures across the country have restricted the commodity's requirement for power burn. In fact, gas stocks – currently 20.8% above the 5-year average and 19.6% higher than the same period last year – are at their highest level for this time of the year, reflecting low demand amid robust onshore output.
The Weekly Natural Gas Storage Report – brought out by the Energy Information Administration (EIA) every Thursday since 2002 – includes updates on natural gas market prices, the latest storage level estimates, recent weather data and other market activities or events.
The report provides an overview of the level of reserves and their movements, thereby helping investors understand the demand/supply dynamics of natural gas.
It is an indicator of current gas prices and volatility that affect businesses of natural gas-weighted companies and related support plays like Chesapeake Energy (CHK - Free Report) , EnCana Corp. (ECA - Free Report) , Devon Energy Corp. (DVN - Free Report) , Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN - Free Report) and Halliburton Co. (HAL - Free Report) .
Stockpiles held in underground storage in the lower 48 states fell by 87 billion cubic feet (Bcf) for the week ended January 13, 2012, just below the guidance range (of 88–92 Bcf draw) as per the analysts surveyed by Platts.
The decrease – the eighth consecutive withdrawal of the 2011-2012 winter heating season after stocks hit an all-time high in mid-November – is well below last year's draw of 228 Bcf and the 5-year (2007–2011) average drawdown of 162 Bcf for the reported week. The current storage level – at 3.290 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) – is up 539 Bcf (19.6%) from last year and 566 Bcf (20.8%) over the five-year average.
A supply glut pressured natural gas futures for most of 2011, as production from dense rock formations (shale) – through novel techniques of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing – remained robust, thereby overwhelming demand. As a matter of fact, natural gas prices have dropped approximately 50% from 2011 peak of about $5.00 per million Btu (MMBtu) in June to the current level of around $2.50 (referring to spot prices at the Henry Hub, the benchmark supply point in Louisiana).
To make matters worse, mild winter weather across most of the country through the first months of the season has curbed natural gas demand for heating, indicating a grossly oversupplied market that continues to pressure commodity prices in the backdrop of sustained strong production.

This is not the Ritz...that being said, it is a comfortable, quiet, great-value of a motel in a location hosting very few lodging opportunities. It is an older motel which has been updated. It offers free (!) parking to approximately 12 cars, but street parking is available if you watch the signs. They offer a simple breakfast of muffins, juice and coffee each morning. The room was nicely sized, clean, and included what we needed for our stay. Wi-Fi worked well in our room, but was just a tad slow. We heard a bit of noise from people walking to their rooms, but not much from Geary which was in the front of the building directly outside our window. The office people were not terribly friendly or outgoing, but answered questions and provided assistance. If you are looking for 5* accommodations, this will not be your favorite, but for a place to sleep, especially in this area of SF, it works quite well.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Centrally located to all of San Francisco's major attractions, nearby Golden Gate Park - The Geary Parkway motel offers 20 unique guest rooms, with comfortable beds and a wide range of extra amenities such as In-Room Microwave/Refrigerator, In-Room Iron & Ironing Board In-Room Hairdryer, In-Room Coffee and Satellite Cable/HBO. Enjoy Free complimentary breakfast, Wi-Fi internet access and Free parking. The Geary Parkway Motel AAA approved and a member of the San Francisco Convention and Visitors Bureau. ... more less
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Orbitz, Priceline, Booking.com, Expedia, Travelocity, Hotels.com, Hotwire, Cheap Tickets, getaroom.com, Cancelon and TripOnline SA so you can book your Geary Parkway Motel reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.
