Here's an email that's been making the rounds recently:
At Heathrow Airport today, an individual, later discovered to be a public
school teacher, was arrested trying to board a flight while in possession
of a compass, a protractor, and a graphical calculator. Authorities
believe he is a member of the notorious Al-Gebra movement.
He is being charged with carrying weapons of math instruction.

Julia Roberts on Redbook —
Redbook draws fire from Julia Roberts for putting a picture of her on its cover in which a recent image of her head is pasted onto an old picture of her body. Ironically, the title of their article about her is "The Real Julia." Redbook also recently got in trouble for doing the same thing to Jennifer Aniston. The problem, of course, is not in their use of composite images (everyone does that), but in doing such a poor job of them.

A Quality Study of the OpenStreetMap Dataset for Tehran
Received: 8 November 2013 / Revised: 22 April 2014 / Accepted: 8 May 2014 / Published: 22 May 2014
Abstract: There has been enormous progress in geospatial data acquisition in the last decade. Centralized data collection, mainly by land surveying offices and local government agencies, has changed dramatically to voluntary data provision by citizens. Among a broad list of initiatives dealing with user generated geospatial information, OpenStreetMap (OSM) is one of the most famous crowd-sourced products. It is believed that the quality of collected information remains a valid concern. Therefore, qualitative assessment of OSM data as the most significant instance of volunteered geospatial information (VGI) is a considerable issue in the geospatial information community. One aspect of VGI quality assessment pertains to its comparison with institutionally referenced geospatial databases. This paper proposes a new quality metric for assessment of VGI accuracy and as well as for quality analysis of OSM dataset by evaluating its consistency with that of a reference map produced by Municipality of Tehran, Iran. A gridded map is employed and heuristic metrics such as Minimum Bounding Geometry area and directional distribution (Standard Deviational Ellipse), evaluated for both VGI and referenced data, are separately compared in each grid. Finally, in order to have a specific output as an integrated quality metric for VGI, its consistency with ground-truth data is evaluated using fuzzy logic. The results of this research verify that the quality of OSM maps in the study area is fairly good, although the spatial distribution of uncertainty in VGI varies throughout the dataset.

Super skinny supermodel Kate Moss has been spending her time somewhere other than the runway— the kitchen.
Moss, known as the woman who coined 'the waif' look, has apparently been putting on the pounds ever since she started getting into cooking— and she has never looked better!
It started when her 8-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, gave her a new cookbook. Since then, Kate has been obsessed with making vegan meals for her fiance, Jamie Hince.
The infamous party girl has put her wild ways aside and taken up a more domestic route, and according to a source, she has been saying, "If people could see me now. Whatever happened to wild Kate?" However, her fiance seems to love this side of her.
Last year, the supermodel gained a new jam-making hobby after perfecting her plum conserve recipe at her estate in the Cotswolds, and with all the fruit on her land she has access to, Moss has been thinking about making a business out of it.
A rolling Moss gathers no stones, but maybe a pound or two!

3 Responses to Kate Moss Has A New Obsession: Vegan Food
she really veg or just another celeb made veg by veggie gossip ?
Maybe she'll give up wearing real fur too and save a few more lives. I won't hold my breath.
my misstake, the article doesn't claim she is vegan now, it just says she cooks vegan meals sometimes.
it's about one week later now, i wonder if she still likes to cook vegan food…

Tc - Good to hear you are on your way and already did the seminar. That is great.
That is really weird about the other person with frozen and not fresh. I think the stats are close to 50+% with fresh and like 28% with frozen. I guess we are changing those statistics! My donor source contact was Sheryl and she was great. I also have an attorney who was terrific if you need the name. I have mentioned this before but the psych evaluation was incredibly helpful for my husband. I think it normalized the process and he was able to talk about some of his concerns (since most of the communication with the professionals tends to be through me). I thought it would be a waste of time but really found it to be a bonding experience. -

Luck, After reading your posts and talking to some of my friends who have various issues, I may be interested in donating eggs someday. I know you're not a complete expert, but you know more than anyone else I know! I would want to wait until after having our kids, so I'd probably be 33-34 by the time I was ready. Would they even want my eggs at that point? Are most of the donors younger? -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/11/2010 12:23 PM EDT
I have no idea if 33 is officially too old to donate, but I know if I were going that route, paying big bucks and needing to succeed in as few attempts as possible, I'd get 18 - 25 year old eggs. Why would I pay for eggs that are on the flip side? (Couldn't resist the little joke, forgive me.) -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/11/2010 1:56 PM EDT
That's pretty much what I was thinking, Kar. Why would they want 33 yo egs when they could have 20 yo eggs? But it's crazy to think of someone so young making a decision like that. -

Re: August TTC

I won't give up on the thought all together...in future you be willing to donate to a family member or friend.
Sorry the last part got deleted...It would be less about age and more about genetics, the person & their personality. -
Re: August TTC

That's a good reminder, tomarra. Part of why I started thinking about this is that my brother's wife expects to have issues. For her, I don't think it will be the eggs, but we'll see how it goes for them. -

Not sure if buying the 25 pack of pg. tests from Amazon was a good thing or a bad thing. I am 12 or 13 DPO, and with the tests sitting around I couldn't wait. Yesterday there was a VERY faint line, that DH said, that's nothing. He said if he poas it that line would probably come up. Today it was darker, and you can see a line, but still really faint. I may be reading too much into it, but here's hoping! -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/12/2010 8:11 AM EDT
DH is mistaken. A very faint line is a postive result!!! Test tomorrow and confirm that it wasn't a chemical pregnacy. Yes, TOMORROW, you can wait! ;) Hoping for a darker line tomorrow!!! -

Re: August TTC

Thanks... I tried to tell him that, but he didn't believe me. Maybe he is getting confused with the OP strips, where the lines had to match exactly. I am trying not to get too excited yet, as I know it is early, and it could be chemical. I'll use another strip tomorrow, then on saturday I'll use the test I bought at the store, which I think is more sensitive than the strips that I bought. -

You should give your doctor a call and see if they will do a blood test...it may give you both a piece of mind.
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/12/2010 9:27 AM EDT
ajuly--my DH was the same way the first time I got pregnant. He shrugged and said he'd believe it when the doctor's office confirmed it.
Next time around, I got some of the tests that say "pregnant" or "not pregnant" instead of the line. That was harder for him to dispute :) (Plus, I'd been on clomid, so it was more believable to begin with!)
Fingers are crossed for you! -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/12/2010 9:37 AM EDT
ajuly, YAY!!!! That's what happened to me - I waited a few days to even tell/show DH because my line was so faint! But it is a line! I'm so excited for you!!! Keeping my fingers crossed for a very healthy sticky bean. :-)
Oh and at 13DPO I did go and get it confirmed witha blood test so if you want some more peace of mind, I recommend it!
I am loving the August TTC! Let's keep these good vibes going... -
Re: August TTC

P.S. I think you should tell DH to go ahead and prove he'd get a line too :o) -
Re: August TTC

Yay ajuly! And a line is a line!!! But, if you want one of those digital ones, there is no mistaking things then. I was queen of multiple tests, multiple brands both times b/c I would always get antsy and test early and then get paranoid that I tested too early and was risking a chemical. There are just some brands that have a faint postive line no matter how many dpo or past AF you are... particularly the tests that are two pink lines in my experience. The blue +/- are a little clearer, but then the digital are most definitive. -
Re: August TTC

Blood tests are no more accurate - they are only more precise. The HPT tells you IF there is any hCG in your system. The blood test tells you HOW MUCH there is. You can have peace of mind from the EPT line that you have hCG in your blood. -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/12/2010 11:30 AM EDT
It was peace of mind for me, that there was a substantial amount of HCG and more than my faint line was letting on. It may not be a scientific approach, but emotionally, it made me feel more confident in my pregnancy. -

Thanks ladies.I think I will make DH poas tonight. Seriously. The tests are like $.30 each. So, that's another reason I am having a hard time believing, they're so cheap. I'll use the real thing tomorrow or Saturday. If I do get a darker line tomorrow, I'm thinking I'll call my dr. so I don't have to wait till after the weekend to get a blood test if need be.ETA: On the reviews of the strips on Amazon, some girl tested it with her dog's urine. Uh..I'm not that crazy. -
Re: August TTC

I'm kind of curious about the blood test. When I called my doctor, they didn't give me any options; they just said OK here is your appointment around 8+ weeks. I guess it would be different if you were unsure and wanted them to confirm the BFP? -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/12/2010 6:01 PM EDT
ajuly, if you call your PCP he/she should be able to order you a bloodtest. That's the route I went, and my PCP had me come in, gave me a quick check-up, took the blood, etc. It was fantastic!
Isn't it even better when you're getting a line on a cheap test that isn't as sensitive? Let us know if DH is expecting! LOL! That is awesome-- you totally need to get him to poas... and update us tomorrow. :) -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/12/2010 8:18 PM EDT
Fram, I had to ask for one to confirm and they said to come on in. No apointment necessary. I could probably go every day if I wanted to. Not that I thought about it...
And I think (But could be wrong) that the blood test might become standard after a loss. Some doctors like to monitor your HCG levels to make sure things are progressing normally, which sort of just adds more stress to the situation b/c it isn't like they could DO anything about it if they aren't progressing...
ajuly, I wonder if the dog ended up being pregnant? do you think dogs have HCG when they are prego or is that only a human hormone? I'm kind of curious about this now... :-) -
Re: August TTC
posted at 8/12/2010 8:32 PM EDT
HCG = HUMAN Chorionic Gonadotropin.
So, dogs definitely don't have it :)
BUT from what I know with a biochem background and NO actual research, I would expect them to produce something very similar (canine chorionic gonadotropin?) since they're mammals. I would expect its structure to be mostly conserved across species given its function, so it is plausible that if its structure is similar enough to HCG, and if the test is looking for a part of the molecule that is conserved across species, then it could pick up a pregnancy in a dog.
So...that's my guess :)

Van Pelt ends PGA victory drought
He thought back to all those times on his couch with his golfing buddies watching a pro fail in the clutch with a seemingly easy opportunity. Now, he�d left a second putt a little too far for comfort.
�Twenty feet, two putts to win, I�d get that done no problem, like that�d be the easiest thing,� Van Pelt said. �Sure enough, that�s what I had and, sure enough, I leave it 3 feet short.�
Turns out, it was just the right distance.
Van Pelt won for the first time on the PGA Tour in 229 starts with a 3-foot birdie on the second hole of a sudden death playoff over John Mallinger on Sunday at the U.S. Bank Championship and put 10 years of frustration behind him.
�It got to the point where I don�t even know if I wanted to play anymore a couple of years ago,� Van Pelt said.
On the second playoff hole, the 29-year-old Mallinger rolled his second shot in a greenside bunker. Mallinger got out, but left himself a 28-footer for birdie that he pushed right of the hole and settled for par.
That would be plenty for Van Pelt, who had a chance on the first hole�also No. 18�to end it, but looked nervous and missed a 13-foot eagle putt. He settled for a tap-in birdie to put the pressure on Mallinger, who made a 5-footer setting up the final scramble.
�As soon as you make a putt, you kind of get some momentum,� Mallinger said. �Bo made two great shots on 18 in the playoffs.�
Van Pelt is a towering presence at 6 feet 4, but he was a late bloomer in high school and never followed his father�s footsteps. Bob Van Pelt was drafted as a center in the fifth round in 1967 by the Philadelphia Eagles.
Instead, the younger Van Pelt gets a $720,000 check and the satisfaction that he�s finally won on tour after finishing no better than second at the 2008 Puerto Rico Open that sent his career in a tailspin.
�I had my worst year on tour in a while last year and I lost in Puerto Rico by a shot and really had the lead the whole way and really should�ve won the golf tournament,� he said. �I think that bothered me for a long time last year because it just felt like I was playing so good and I was playing so good every time I went out and I still wasn�t getting it done.�
This time, the 34-year-old Van Pelt shot a 64 in the final round and did not have a bogey to move from 7 under to 13 under, finishing with a 4-foot putt for birdie on No. 18. Then he had to wait and watch the scoreboard. Van Pelt went to the driving range with his caddie alone and as each group came in, a few more onlookers joined him.
Mallinger, who was also looking for his first tour title, shot a 65 on Sunday and used an eagle on the par-5 15th to vault among the leaders. He also needed a short birdie putt on No. 18 to send the tournament to a playoff for the first time since 2001.
�I�ll take a lot of positives out of this, I�m just a little disappointed right now,� Mallinger said. �I felt like I was in the driver�s seat coming in after I made eagle on 15 and birdie on 16.�
The tournament must find a new title sponsor to return next season after U.S. Bank earlier announced it was ending its relationship with the 42-year-old event following a six-year run.
�We�re going to continue our efforts to try and find a sponsor, meet with people, talk with the PGA Tour and proceed on our mission,� tournament director Dan Croak said.
Croak said the PGA has not given him a deadline to find a new sponsor, but knows the sooner the better.
�I remain very hopeful,� he said.
Jerry Kelly and Steve Stricker, both from Wisconsin, are working together on a new concept for the tournament that they plan to pitch to sponsors and the PGA.
While Kelly, who finished at 12 under and in third place, said he can�t get into the specifics, one key component could be to move the event into a new time slot that isn�t opposite of the British Open.
Several PGA events are facing the same economic pressure and may not return.

News International CEO Mike Darcey Views Premier League Deal As New Direction
News International's new CEO Mike Darcey has held up winning the Premier League digital rights as indicative of his vision for the company's future, centered around "content worth paying for" and "customer care," according to Arif Durrani of MEDIA WEEK. The former COO at BSkyB outlined his vision for the new News Int'l, "which will emerge from the creation of the Fox Group in July." He called the deal secured in January to show Premier League football highlights on mobile and Internet sites for The Sun, Times and Sunday Times, a "great example of our thinking and ambition." Darcey: "There are few news businesses that combine the financial muscle and technical expertise that made this deal possible with the knowledge of audience that will ensure we can turn it into a paying proposition. This truly is content worth paying for, and it's going to be content that delivers an audience worth advertising to." The deal has been "unofficially valued" at more than £20M ($30M), and will enable News Int'l brands to present "up to eight 30-second clips of key moments during live matches via mobile devices" (MEDIA WEEK, 3/8).
Germany's Kabel Eins Sees Ratings Drop For Europa League Round Of 16
German free-to-air TV channel kabel eins "received not the usual high ratings for its Europa League game broadcast" on Thursday night, according to Patricia Schätzler of QUOTEN METER. A total of 1.39 million viewers tuned in to watch the round of 16 first leg matchup between VfB Stuttgart and Lazio. The number translated into a 5.4% market share. In the target demographic 14-49, Lazio's 2-0 victory attracted 520,000 viewers, which equaled a 6.3% market share. During the second half of the game, the viewership increased to 1.7 million viewers or a 5.3% share. In the target demographic, 780,000 viewers tuned in to watch the second half of the game, and kabel eins was able to increase its market share to 6.4% (QUOTEN METER, 3/8).
SIX NATIONS: In France, France 2's broadcast of the France vs. Ireland clash at the Aviva Stadium was watched by 4.8 million viewers and a 29% market share. A peak of 6.6 million viewers was registered at the end of the match. The game ended in a 13-13 tie. France 2's broadcast of the Scotland vs. Wales encounter also faired well with an audience of 1.2 million and a 12% market share. Wales won the match 28-18 and will play in the Six Nations title game (OZAP, 3/10).

Easter devotions are here! Sign up for our Lent and Easter email devotions.
Note, 1. God can turn foes into friends when he pleases. He that has all hearts in his hand has access to men's spirits and power over them, working insensibly, but irresistibly upon them, can make a man's enemies to be at peace with him, can change their minds, or force them into a feigned submission. He can slay all enemies, and bring those together that were at the greatest distance from each other. 2. He will do it for us when we please him. If we make it our care to be reconciled to God, and to keep ourselves in his love, he will incline those that have been envious towards us, and vexatious to us, to entertain a good opinion of us and to become our friends. God made Esau to be at peace with Jacob, Abimelech with Isaac, and David's enemies to court his favour and desire a league with Israel. The image of God appearing upon the righteous, and his particular lovingkindness to them, are enough to recommend them to the respect of all, even of those that have been most prejudiced against them.

Riding Launches Prince of Wales Post-Show Cabaret
Live - a planned season of cabaret in the Delfont Room, the theatre's main, lower bar – will launch on Wednesday 2 February 2005 with a one-night only concert given by two-time Olivier Award winner Joanna Riding, whose many musical credits include The Witches of Eastwick, My Fair Lady, Carousel, Guys and Dolls, Martin Guerre, Me & My Girl and A Little Night Music. Riding is currently appearing at the West End's Savoy Theatre in Noel Coward's comedy, Blithe Spirit, for which she's been nominated for a Whatsonstage.com Theatregoers' Choice Award for Best Actress (click here to vote now).
A spokesperson told Whatsonstage.com that Riding's concert will comprise classic songs representative of her own career in musical theatre as well as newer work, including "You Don't Know This Man" and "All the Wasted Time" from Jason Robert Brown's Broadway musical Parade. Riding's musical director is Douglas White.
A season of fortnightly evenings throughout March and April will be announced in the new year and, if they're well received, says Dolman, the plan will be to programme more frequent post-performance entertaining at the Delfont Room. The late evenings begin at 10.00pm, after the 7.30pm performance of Mamma Mia!, the Abba musical which is now resident at the Prince of Wales. On these occasions, the Delfont Room, which has secured a license to serve alcohol beyond 11.00pm, will remain open until 1.00am.
The Prince of Wales closed for a year while undergoing its top-to-tail refurbishment. In addition to the restoration of the building's façade to its original 1930s art deco style, the theatre's interior was gutted and rebuilt, with the 1,100-seat auditorium redesigned to provide greater leg room and more comfortable seats. All other public facilities were also been expanded and improved (See News, 25 Jun 2003).
At the time of the reopening, Mackintosh told Whatsonstage.com that audience members' overwhelmingly positive reactions to the new-look Prince of Wales, and in particular the improved bars, had convinced him that they should make better use of the facilities outside of show hours. As for his vision of the Delfont Room as a performance venue in its own right, he likened it to "what Sardi's or the Green Room used to be". He added: "We don't want to rival the local pub. The idea is to make the West End a glamorous as well as a fun place to go. It has to be glamorous."
The Delfont Room will have a club-like atmosphere, with capacity for 200, of which approximately 70 will be table seating. Tickets for Riding's February concert are priced £10 for general admission and £20 for a seat ticket.
NOTE: Booking for the Joanna Riding concert opens on 5 January 2005.

eBay Is Doubling Down on Payments
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The last time I wrote about eBay (EBAY - Get Report), there were concerns about its long-term growth potential and management's ability to harvest value.
I wasn't suggesting that the company was struggling, but it was clear to the Street that PayPal, eBay's dominant person-to-person payment service, was been doing all of the heavy lifting, growing 30% in the most recent quarter.
On Sept. 26, eBay decided it needed to protect that golden goose and picked off payment services system Braintree for $800 million.
We can't say whether eBay overpaid, because Braintree is a private company and we can't get a comprehensive look at its financials.
We do know, however, that Braintree processed more than $12 billion in transactions per year, which is more than what rival Square is reported to have processed. One thing that made Braintree attractive was that one-third of its transactions were mobile payments. eBay has been working hard to build its own mobile payment capabilities and inked a deal earlier this year with NCR (NCR), which specializes in point-of-sale technology. The agreement allows for NCR's systems to integrate with PayPal's mobile services, which will enable customers to pay for goods and services using smartphones. The deal will also present PayPal users the option of using NCR's Convenience-Go app at gas stations and convenience stores. Essentially, eBay's management has gone to great lengths to guard PayPal from emerging mobile threats ranging from Square to accounting software giant Intuit (INTU), which is gaining traction with its GoPayment system. Although PayPal has grown to interoperate with multiple financial networks around the world, the question, is to what extent Braintree can convince the Street that PayPal can become a long-term viable POS system. I'm not suggesting that PayPal doesn't already work. But a person-to-person transaction is different from a purchase at Lowe's (LOW) or McDonald's (MCD). To say it another way, I believe PayPal needs to see significant uptake and conduct more transactions in the realm of large retail operators if it wants to prove its worth. This is where buying Braintree became a no-brainer, pun intended.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

5 things that worry a new doctor
We know the first year in practice brings special challenges. It's a major life transition to move from school to the workforce no matter what your profession. And in veterinary medicine, associates hold the lives of pets in their hands almost from Day 1, which gives the experience even more intensity. To learn more about recent graduates' experiences in the workforce —and how owners can make them feel more comfortable and help them hit the ground running—we asked Dr. Philip VanVranken, a 33-year veteran of veterinary medicine and owner of Dickman Road Veterinary Clinic in Battle Creek, Mich., to act as a mentor to recent graduate and Veterinary Economics Editorial Advisory Board member Dr. W. Andrew Rollo, who's an associate at Gibraltar Veterinary Hospital, a five doctor, small animal practice in Gibraltar, Mich. The two doctors exchanged regular e-mails over the course of a year and discussed everything from basketball to making mistakes. We're planning to run four articles this year that share portions of their conversations, which we hope will stimulate discussion and help both associates and owners understand each other better and learn to work together more effectively. Near the beginning of their discussion, Dr. VanVranken asked Dr. Rollo what his top worries were as he made the transition to practice. Here we share his responses and Dr. VanVranken's advice.Concern #1: Do I know enough? Dr. Rollo: I think I can speak for 90 percent of my classmates (and the other 10 percent are in research) when I say that I was concerned about whether I knew enough. Confidence as a doctor is something they can't teach at school and something everyone has to figure out on their own in the real world. In the first couple weeks, I found myself running out of the exam room into the office and looking up what I had just told a client about a certain disease or condition. One time I suggested Addison's disease as a possible diagnosis. The owner began asking many questions about the condition such as treatment and prognosis. I'd never dealt with an actual patient with hypoadrenocorticism and probably slept through the lecture years ago. To my surprise, when I opened the closest reference I could find, I learned that what I told the owner was right. Dr. VanVranken: I understand feeling concerned about your confidence. But, not to worry, clients have confidence in doctors who work hard for their patients. Think of it this way: Every pro baseball team has a fan-favorite, and it's usually not the 10-year veteran with the big salary. Instead, it's the rookie making the league minimum salary. He runs out every ground ball, is remorseful when committing a fielding error, and makes himself available to fans and reporters. The moral of the story is you can bat 245 and still win fans' admiration. Everyone pulls for the individual who strives to please. Concern #2: Making mistakes Dr. Rollo: To be human is to err, and I'm aware that I'll make mistakes. Sometimes it's in the exam room; a few weeks in, I told a client that she could get Demodex from her dog. Hours later I realized that I'd mixed up Demodex with scabies. Needless to say, I had to make a humbling phone call later that day to re-educate the client. Luckily I have a great team around me for help and support along the way. Dr. VanVranken: We all make mistakes, even after 30 years of experience. Granted the mistakes aren't as frequent, but they still happen. Get used to them and learn from them. There's a lot of dung out there and the challenge is to step in as little as possible. Your experienced team will help you in that regard. Another thing that will help is to spend a few minutes each night at home reading about one difficult case you saw that day. After a couple of years, you'll have read about almost every disease. |

I have an ERBE that the Monster Mamba ESC was toasted. I sent it to castle 2 weeks ago. I've been calling/ emailing since Monday. I finally got hold of a tech yesterday. He said they are working on getting to it. They have been backlogged since the recall issues.
Anyways I havent had a chance to run my ERBE as of yet. I picked this fine machine up on ebay for a good deal. I have tested everything including the castle 2200kv motor and its running good. I have an EMBE and tested the motor with the MM ESC on it. Other than the toasted MM ESC, all is good, which I knew when I purchased it. Looks like I might/ could be out for a little while, especially since the holidays are coming up.
I guess what i'm asking is what should I purchase in lieu of the MM ESC? Purchase the same off ebay? HPI Flux v3 ESC ( being waterproof, be good to just have around), issues, pro's, cons of buying that one. Or something cheap that would have me running till the replacement comes in. I dont want anything that will burn my motor up/ jeopardize my system. Maybe something in the $80-140 area. I could probably hold out another 3 weeks, but i really dont want to at the same time LOL. I dont think guys have the patience to wait. I'm already out 2 weeks w/o running it.
I'm currently running nothing but castle in all my rigs, so i'm basically setup to run them. I have the Field Programmer card, a couple links, and a good knowledge database on running with them.
So any recommendations are warranted. Thanks for the help in advance guys/ gals.

Comments about HFT 12 Pc Assorted Length Elastic Stretch Cords:
The elastic stretch cords are fine but the package is supposed to contain 12 pieces. The container is completely full but only contains 10, not 12 as stated on the label. The advertisement and the label are completely misleading. If you want to buy this unit, be sure to open the container, unwind the contents and count them before checking out.

Here's one that got away from my day in Snowdonia with Lee and Eifion. It's a close-up of the slate fencing at Cwm Orddin, near Blaenau Ffestiniog. I was particularly interested in the patterns created by the lichen and general weathering - my first DSLR capture that I'm really pleased with. Who knows, I might even join the 21st Century and buy a DSLR of my own....
Oh and many thanks for the loan of the camera, Lee - even if it did feel weird switching from my LF camera to a DSLR - a bit like turning off a sleepy country lane straight on to the fast lane of a German Autobahn!

It is a corporate ethics dilemma made in New York City tabloid heaven. Take one Brazilian native arrested on charges of prostitution, narcotics and money laundering. Accuse her of running a brothel out of her Manhattan apartment. Let the gossip columns have a field day, printing salacious details of the "sugar daddies" providing her gifts of cash and clothes.
And if you're Time Warner, brace yourself—because your chief financial officer, Wayne Pace, has been identified as one of the men most prominently helping the Big Apple's newest madam, Andreia Schwartz, to fund her lifestyle and activities.
News of Pace's peccadilloes has set New York abuzz since Schwartz' arrest on June 14. Time Warner initially refused to comment, but then said it would investigate the matter. In late June, the company succinctly announced that an internal probe "found no evidence of illegal conduct … or any misuse of corporate assets" for the gifts Pace allegedly gave to Schwartz.
Now comes the hard part for Time Warner's board: What to do about an executive who apparently has not betrayed the company, but nonetheless is entangled in some very embarrassing behavior?
Donaldson |
According to experts, the ethical course of action for the media giant isn't exactly clear. Since Time Warner has concluded that Pace did not steal from the company, "this is one of those places, unfortunately, where there are no hard and fast rules," says Thomas Donaldson, director of the ethics program at the Wharton School of Business. Indeed, as of late last week, Pace remained on the job and the company had no public plans for disciplinary action.
Several experts contend that since Pace has been cleared by the company, his personal life—even one dissected in the gossip columns—is his. Others argue that the higher up an executive is, the more that right to personal freedom must be balanced against the role the executive serves as a spokesman or symbol of the company.
"In the research we do, leadership has a huge influence on employees' belief that standards really matter in an organization," says Patricia Harned, president of the Ethics Resource Center.
Shapiro |
Then there's the hard line, toed by the likes of Barry Shapiro, head of the corporate practice at law firm Meyer, Suozzi, English & Klein. Pace may not have used company funds in his relationship with Schwartz, he says, but "this is a public company. Any action which brings management into disrepute is a firing offense."
Conduct And Misconduct
Like virtually every public company, Time Warner has a code of conduct for all employees as required by Section 406 of Sarbanes-Oxley—in this case, called the Standards of Business Conduct. Senior executives and financial officers must also obey an additional Code of Ethics. Among the standards executives agree to follow is to "engage in and promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and professional relationships" (see box above, right).
Values do play a role in deciding how to address a situation like Pace's. In 2004, consulting firms Booz Allen Hamilton and the Aspen Institute surveyed senior executives at 365 companies. Nearly 90 percent reported that their company had a written values statement, and that ethical conduct was a principle in those statements.
The survey also found that 85 percent of respondents said their companies rely on explicit CEO support to reinforce values, and 77 percent said such support is one of the most effective practices to maintain a company's ability to act on its values.
So what should be done if an executive appears to have violated a company's code of conduct or acted against corporate values? And who even makes the determination that a violation occurred? Usually, legal experts say, the audit committee spearheads any internal investigation—especially if the CFO is involved, because of the potential misappropriation of funds.
Annex |
"In today's world, there is the risk due to Sarbanes-Oxley and 404 that if there is a misappropriation, it will attack the internal controls," warns Alan Annex, head of the corporate practice at the law firm Greenberg Traurig.
Shapiro says potential violations also are often referred to the human resources department, which can then work closely with a member of the audit committee and in-house counsel.
If the audit committee determines no misappropriation of funds occurred, it then tries to determine whether the executive was unfairly smeared. But if an investigation ultimately determines that the executive engaged in questionable—but not illegal or professionally irresponsible—behavior, the company still has much latitude in how it reacts. "It's done on a case-by-case basis," Shapiro explains.
Most times, the company must also tread carefully; firing an executive for cause is a delicate matter. Often, Annex says, if an executive demonstrates bad moral conduct, yet the behavior did not affect the company, it's difficult to fire the executive without paying severance. For those like Pace at the stratospheric heights of Corporate America, that can get expensive: Pace's 2005 compensation totaled $6.8 million.
Other Poor Judgments
Time Warner is not the only company forced to deal with a high-level executive's personal behaviors spilling into public view. In March 2005, Harry Stonecipher, then president and chief executive officer of Boeing, resigned after the disclosure of an extramarital affair he had with a female executive at the company. At the time Boeing was praised for its swift action and tough commitment to ethical behavior, as Stonecipher was considered a good CEO professionally.
And in May, IT consulting firm Keane ousted Chief Executive Officer Brian Keane—son of the company's founder—after one current and one former employee made allegations of sexual harassment against him. A subsequent press release identified the current employee as Georgina Fisk, vice president of marketing, who was paid $1.14 million in a settlement with the company and resigned last month.
In making the announcement that Keane stepped down, the company asserted that his conduct "reflected poor judgment." As a result, the company said the board concluded that "Keane could not continue to provide the leadership that [the company] requires and that his continued service as CEO would not be in the best interests of the company."
Annex believes that in today's environment, ultimately Pace or others who find themselves in similar situations will cut a deal where the company will pay him to leave.
