Consumers' wider adoption of broadband makes rich media more appealing to retailers.
Rich media on web sites has been on a roller coaster ride. At first, wowed by the prospects of virtually re-creating the store experience online, retailers deployed rich media because they believed it would boost conversion rates. Then, when reality set in and they realized that consumers were leaving sites where graphics took too long to load, they cut back. Now rich media appears ready to make a comeback, spurred by consumers' increasing adoption of broadband Internet connections and their willingness to buy after they see a rich media presentation.
"We felt good enough about what rich media has done for our web site when we tried it on some products that we decided it was a good feature for a lot more," says Gary Dembart, executive vice president of handbag and apparel manufacturer and retailer Dooney & Bourke. Now as Dooney & Bourke adds products to its site, it adds color-swapping and zoom features from RichFX Inc. "We really believe it enhances the way people look at our products," Dembart says.
Dooney & Bourke is not alone in re-assessing rich media presentations on retail web sites. And while there's no land-rush return to advanced product rendering, as rich media is also known, a growing number of retail web sites are flirting with some form or other of rich media. In fact, 31% of retailers had planned to have some kind of rich media on their web sites by this past holiday shopping season, according to a survey from Jupiter Research Inc. Zoom and color swapping are the most widely used. But 3-D presentations appear on sites as diverse as Dell Computer Corp. and Eddie Bauer. Macromedia Inc.'s Flash technology is used to help customers build products at such sites as bag retailer Timbuk2.com and confectioner Eli's Cheesecake.
More perceived value
Now with consumers' growing acceptance of broadband Internet access, analysts are encouraging retailers without rich-media presentations to get ready for them. "Broadband users see more value in rich media product presentation," says Carrie Johnson, analyst with Forrester Research Inc. who has just issued two reports on the impact of broadband on retail presentations. "They value zoom and 3-D more than they did when they were dial-up users."
The market may be shifting to the point where broadband users become the prime movers of web content, she says. Forrester's surveys underscore the importance of broadband users: In the past three months, they spent 70% more online on average than dial-up users: $552 vs. $324. Further, according to Nielsen/NetRatings data, broadband users spend 43% more time online than dial-up users. More than a fifth of American Internet households will be broadband users by the end of this year and that will reach nearly a third by the end of 2005, says a new report from eMarketer Inc. "Before, everyone was worried about annoying the dial-up user by offering too much," Johnson says. "But it may now be more important to avoid annoying the broadband user by offering too little."
But just like the rest of Internet retailing, retailers are smarter about rich media today and realize that there is a cost to providing such enhancements as zoom, video presentation and 3-D views. "There's always a higher cost associated with providing that kind of functionality," says Matthew Berk, analyst with Jupiter Research, who follows the web site content market and the effect that various media offerings have on web site performance.
A retail site will need greater bandwidth to deliver the experience and will probably have to adjust the product display on pages to allow areas for higher-quality graphics to appear, Berk says. Rich media display also can require more photographs of products-30 shots for the product to rotate on a single axis, 60 if it will rotate on two, Jupiter says. And there will be additional costs in staff training, in more quality assurance to make sure customers are seeing the presentations in the way the retailer intended them to be seen, and in more storage, hosting and operations functions, Jupiter says. "Retailers will always have to do some amount of labor to take advantage of rich media," Berk says.
Labor-saving technology
But if retailers are performing the labor now, at least consumers don't have to. In the first versions of rich-media, consumers often had to download programs to run the presentations. And while that seemed natural to the techies who developed the programs, it only seemed scary to consumers who had little idea what downloading a program meant, other than the possibility of viruses. "We've made a lot of progress in the past year in knowing what's too much for consumers and what's the right amount," says Paul Cimino, COO of RichFX. "We were trying to push the bleeding edge of technology, but we took a step back about a year ago. Now we are introducing technology at a level that consumers are looking for."
RichFX's zoom and color changing are now based on Flash technology. "We wanted to make sure we didn't alienate the user," Cimino says.
Retailers' interest in rich media is also growing, analysts say, as they try to get the most out of their web site investments. "If you've spent thousands of dollars to shoot your product images, you need to be able to use them in more than one spot," says Tim Bigoness, vice president of marketing of Equilibrium Technologies Inc., San Rafael, Calif. At the same time, rich media does not exist as an end in itself. "It's hard to convince a company to invest in just rich media, unless there's an ROI," Bigoness says.
That's a big caution these days, analysts say, but one that can be approached in a number of ways. Increased product sales is the measure that most retailers look to when they implement rich media. Berk reports that The Spiegel Group Inc., for instance, experienced a 101% increase in conversion rates when it applied RichFX's zoom technology to a test of 250 products last year and expanded it to 1,640 products at the end of the year.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called on Democratic presidential rivals Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to halt their in-fighting or risk damaging the party's chances of winning the White House.
"I would encourage both of them, as I have, to remember we have to keep our eyes on the prize, which is the general election in November," Pelosi said at a luncheon in New York on Friday.
"We are all very passionate about our politics and the issues we believe in, but we have to be very dispassionate about how we approach winning. We have to lift the debate to a place that does not turn off the American people."
She said the bickering between the candidates would only help Republican John McCain in November, the San Francisco Chronicle reported.
"There is absolutely no question that I have concerns about the attacks that are being made on one candidate or another," Pelosi told the luncheon gathering. "I do have concerns that the negativism can diminish our prospects for the general election."
Her remarks came on the same day that Obama adviser Samantha Power resigned from the campaign after calling Hillary "a monster" in an interview.
And Obama's team is still angry over Clinton spokesman Howard Wolfson's charge that Obama was "imitating Ken Starr" — the independent prosecutor who probed the Clintons in the 1990s — by calling for the release of Hillary's tax returns.
Pelosi also said the attacks by the two candidates are becoming too personal, and could even negatively impact Democrats' changes of holding on to or increasing their majorities in Congress.
"My responsibility as speaker is to make sure that I have a Democratic majority in the Congress of the United States," she declared.
"So while I want these candidates to operate on a proper tone so one of them will be in the White House, I have to insist upon it because I can't have their - if you want to call it bickering - have an impact on my congressional races."

To someone who saved you you owe nothing unless you asked to be saved. But if you are grateful then you are free to thank them and keep trying to repay the, as far as your gratitude goes.

To one you saved, you owe only space and time to consider their position, without feeling pressured to repay you.
For the person who saved my life I do owe them my undying gratitude. For the person whose life I saved, I owe them nothing and they owe me absolutely nothing!!
Thanks for choosing my response as Best Answer!
I'd suggest loadsa drugs and a wild 3sm.

i will be thankful with them and thank them n even try to protect them too! but if i save someone elses life i will not expect anything form them! i will just be happy with myself i did good
I will always look up to the person who'll save my life. They cannot be forgotten.

If I save someone's life, I don't need nor want anything in return. It is a good deed from my part and knowing they are okay.
A letter of sincere gratitude and appreciation and a SUBWAY® gift card.

ASUS is now joining EVGA, Palit and Gainward by offering a 6 GB version of the GeForce GTX 780. Normally we would expect a card like this to be part of ASUS's Republic of Gamers or DirectCU II lines, but ASUS has actually launched a new brand called STRIX.

Sapphire has just added a new graphics card to their R9 290X lineup. It is the R9 290X Vapor-X Tri-X OC graphics card. The thing that sets this card apart from their other R9 290X cards is that it features vapor-chamber technology to improve cooling even more than than their current cards and this card features a factory overclock on both the GPU and the memory. The card will have a GPU frequency of 1080 MHz (80 MHz over reference) and the memory will be running at speeds of 5.64 GHz (effective). Other features of the card include a pretty sleek backplate, a Sapphire logo that lights up and even changes colors and dual BIOS support. Is this the Radeon R9 290X that you want? Read on as we take a look…

So this more or less confirms that the card has made its way to retailers and they are just waiting for the greenlight from NVIDIA to start selling the card. No word when that will be, but when it happens we will be sure to let you know.

AMD has just announced a $30 price cut for their Radeon R9 280 graphics card. Compared to the Radeon R9 280X the R9 280 has a few differences like a 20% lower clock speed, turbo speed, memory speed and less shaders and computing units.

It looks like the first review of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX Titan Z graphics card has been leaked. It is from Chinese magazine E-Zone who had published the review back on May 8th, the original date of when the Titan Z was supposed to be launched. Looking at the results from their tests you can see why NVIDIA has delayed the card for the time being.
May 12, 2014 Bob Buskirk All News, Gaming News, Hardware News 0
Reports have surfaced that say AMD is working on a new single-GPU graphics card to compete with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 780 Ti and maybe even the GeForce GTX Titan Black. While we expect this new graphics card to have a clock speed bump, it will also leverage high-bandwidth memory (HBM). This new cutting edge technology relies on stacking multiple DRAM dies with dedicated memory paths into a single package. This will effectively cut down on power draw, temperatures and PCB real estate.

NVIDIA was supposed to launch their high-performance GeForce GTX Titan Z graphics card this week, but we have not seen any reviews, any release from NVIDIA or seen the card hit retail shelves.

MSI has just announced a brand new graphics card to their gaming lineup. It is the R9 270X GAMING 2G ITX, which if you can guess by the name is a card made for ITX builds. That card is just 17 centimeters long, which means it will easily be able to fit in your small form factor build.

PowerColor will soon be launching their Radeon R9 295X2 Devil13 graphics card, which of course will be the successor to the previous Devil 13 card that featured dual Tahiti cores. The card will most likely be the first custom-cooled R9 295X2 card as all of the ones that we have seen so far have used the reference cooling design.

Hey Y'all,
Well its finally time to replace my battery and I was looking around on here and found that the optima series batteries seem to have a great track record and thier statistics seem to be overall the best that I could find. I recently ordered an Optima Yellow Top battery that was the replacement for the stock tacoma battery and I had issues with it fitting in my 2007 V6 Tacoma 4x4 with towing package and SR5 package. I read that some people who replaced their stock batteries with these optimas ran into the same problem as I encountered and I was wondering what I needed to do in order to fit one of these Optimas in my Tacoma. I have seen some members on here running these batteries so I know that it is possible to fit one beneath the hood as well as securing it properly. Any information that y'all have would be greatly appreciated!


text: YOUR DRIVER AND DRIVERS HOURS Your driver plays a very important role in the smooth running of your trip. In most cases not only is he/she driving but also navigating, caring for luggage on board and of course looking after the safety of the group whilst on-board the coach. DRIVERS HOURS The number of hours any driver can actually drive on one session and over the course of each day need to be taken into consideration when planning any itinerary. Our consultants have lots of experience in planning effective itineraries so that you get the most from your visit whilst taking account of how many hours each day your driver is working. From April 2007, there have been major changes to the rules governing the work and rest patterns for coach drivers operating tours and hires throughout Europe. The changes will have a significant impact on the planning of tours in particular. Maynes Coaches has produced this fact sheet to help group organisers plan effectively. WHY ARE THE RULES CHANGING? The law affecting coach drivers' work is set by the European Union. The old rules had stood the test of time over 20 years but are not compatible with the new digital tachographs now being introduced, and the European Parliament wants to improve drivers' working conditions. Whether the new rules will actually achieve that objective is a moot point! But the rules ARE changing and we must all work within them. DRIVING HOURS There are no changes to the basic rule – drivers must take a break of 45 minutes after 4 ½ hours continuous driving. However, that break can be split into two – the first of 15 minutes and the second of 30 minutes. The old provision for 3 separate breaks of 15 minutes is abolished. Maximum driving remains 9 hours per day but this can be extended to 10 hours twice a week. Total weekly driving is limited to 56 hours per week and 90 hours per fortnight. DAILY REST Normally this must be at least 11 hours, giving a maximum working day of 13 hours, but can be reduced to 9 hours not more than 3 times per week, to give a 15 hour day. Drivers of double manned coaches can be on duty for up to 21 hours. WEEKLY REST Here's where the big problem comes. In future, drivers will be required to take a weekly rest period after no more than 6 days' work. The existing so-called "12-day" rule is abolished. This means that one driver can no longer operate a tour of more than 6 days without taking a full weekly rest period (normally 45 hours, but this can be reduced to 24 hours once a fortnight provided the time is made up soon afterwards). Page 1 of 2 The special derogation for drivers working away from their home base is also being withdrawn. During the rest period, the driver cannot undertake any work at all, so cannot act as courier or perform any other duties for the tour party. They cannot even travel home, as this counts as "other work"! WORKING WITH THE NEW RULES Multi-day tours will be particularly affected. Some ways to manage the changes include: Scheduling a "free" day during the tour when the coach and driver are not used. Paying for an additional driver to travel out to meet the tour coach, either to cover so that the regular driver can take their weekly rest period at the destination, or else to allow the first driver to return to base within their working week to take their weekly rest. Either way, the cost of operating multi-day tours will increase – through no fault of the coach operator! OBLIGATIONS OF TOUR OPERATORS The new rules make tour organisers jointly liable with the operator for planning schedules that meet the law. USEFUL TIP It's a good idea to either pre-book or at least discuss your activity plans with our consultant, to avoid situations where you may wish to use your coach but cannot do so due to the driver having reached maximum permitted hours during any individual 24 hour period. For advice on drivers hours, please speak to us. GOOD COMMUNICATION Your driver is an essential part of your team, making sure you get where you want to go, on time. Communicating with and involving your driver in key discussions is often welcome by the driver who can share his/her experience and knowledge where appropriate. ON-BOARD SAFETY BRIEFING Our driver will deliver a safety briefing prior to setting off on your journey. As our driver delivers the briefing it's worthwhile listening to this every time you join the coach as some coaches have different safety information. SAFETY WHEN DRIVING The driver's number one priority is getting you and your group safely to your destination. Whilst on the move, please ensure members of your group know not disturb your driver. DRIVER CRB AND POLICE CHECKS Maynes Coaches only employ professional drivers that have received appropriate clearance from the Criminal Records Bureau or Scottish Criminal Records Office.

text: 9 killed in suspected drone strike in YemenBy Hakim Almasmari, For CNNUpdated 2:16 AM ET, Tue January 31, 2012Story highlightsThe missiles hit in areas in Abyan province near areas taken over by a militant groupSome residents in the area say they saw the aircraft"We were scared and expected a night of explosions and blood," resident saysA suspected drone strike hit militant targets in southern Yemen on Monday night, killing at least nine people with suspected links to al Qaeda, security officials said.The missiles struck Abyan province near areas that have been taken over by Ansaar al-Sharia, a militant group with links to al Qaeda, three security officials officials said.The militant group took over large parts of Abyan province in May after government forces evacuated a number of security posts and military bases. The group announced Abyan as an Islamic emirate and is calling for the implementation of Sharia law.Hundreds of troops and militant fighters have been killed in the government's efforts to clear the province from the hands of the militants, according to Yemen's defense ministry.Two security officials said the drones were from the United States.U.S. officials rarely discuss the drone program, though privately they have said the covert strikes are legal and an effective tactic in the fight against extremists.A CIA-operated drone attack in September killed American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, the external operations commander and chief recruiter of English-speaking militants for the al Qaeda in the Arabic Peninsula. But key players remain at large in Yemen, experts say. Some residents in the area said they saw the aircraft in the Monday attack."The U.S. aircraft was flying in surprisingly low altitude Monday night. We were scared and expected a night of explosions and blood," said Mousa Abdul Kadoos Abu Ali, a resident of Lowder distict, an area in the province.More from middleeastAmid brazen, deadly attacks, gay Syrians tell of fear of ISIS persecutionIraqi forces push toward Tikrit as they seek to dislodge ISISWhat Iranians think of Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to CongressPowered by Livefyre

On the second page of the résumé, Respondent listed 'Attorney Frederick Iverson, 1025 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Suite 1012, Washington, DC 20036' as a reference, without disclosing that he was her husband. "17. In the résumé that was submitted to the Commission, Respondent did not disclose that she had worked for her husband in Columbus, Ohio during the period of November 1995 through August 1996. "18. Respondent's Ohio employment with Iverson was listed on a résumé th at she subm itted to the Securities & Exchange Commission in 1997. "19.

Shortly after March 13, 2000, the Commission decided to offer Respon dent a pos ition as an atto rney at a grade level of GS-11, step 1, w hich carried a salary of $42,724 per year. "25. Lupov itz called Responde nt to commun icate the offer. During this conver sation, Lup ovitz advised Respon dent that in order for consideration of hiring her at a salary higher than that for the grade level of GS-11, step 1, she would have to have a competing job offer, or be currently employed at a hig her s alary. "26. The Commission's decision to hire Respondent was based in part, but not exclusively on Iverson's reference on her behalf; however, it cannot be said that with out his recommendation Respondent would not have been offered the position with the Commission.1 _______________________ " 1 See Petitio ner' s Exhibit 2, pa ge 2: 'Ms. Flo yd received excellent references from two [Securities and Exchange Commission] supervisors and from attorney Frederick Iverson, all of whom praised Ms. Floyd's excellent legal skills, intellect, and hard work. All three references emphasized that Ms. Floyd's outstanding performance and personal demeanor exceeded expectations fo r a law stu dent an d young attorney.' _______________________ "27. Respon dent wan ted to be paid a higher salary than $42,724 per year that accompanied that for grade level GS-11, step 1 and requested of Iverson that he put in writing his officer of employment with him. "28. On March 16, 2000, Iverson composed a letter on 4 stationary displaying his 1025 Connecticut A venue N.W ., Washington, D.C., office address, stating: Ang ela F loyd 643 Pennsylvania Avenue, SE Washington, D.C. 20003 Dear Ms. Floyd: This letter is written to memorialize the salary terms of my offer to you. Per our discuss ion, I am prepared to offer you a monthly salary of $4500 per mon th, or $54,000 per ye ar. T his salary is based on your completing a minimum average of six criminal m isdemean or cases pe r month. T his arrangement would remain in effect for one year and, thereafter, be open to renegotiation. Regardless of where your future employment decisions take you, I wish you the best of luck in your career. Sinc erely, /S/ Frederick D. Iverson, Esq. "29. Respondent was aware of the contents of Iverson's letter before she delivered it to the Commission. "30. Respondent delivered Iverson's letter to Lupovitz, who in turn gave it to Kolish. "31. On March 28, 2000, by memorandum, Kolish requested of the Comm ission's Director o f Hum an Reso urces, autho rity to offer Respondent a position at GS-11, step 7 with the accompanying annual salary of $51,269. "32. The subject of Kolish's March 28, 2000 memorandum was 'Justification for hiring Angela Floyd as a GS-11, step 7.' The memorandum begins, The Division of Enforce ment seeks to hire Angela Floyd , a M ay 1999 graduate of Georgetown University Law Center, as a staff attorney. Since August 1998, Ms. Floyd has 5 worked in the Law Office of Frederick Iverson, which has m ade a n em ploym ent offer to h er at a salary of $54,000 per year. A copy of the written offer letter is attached. Therefore, to com pete with that offer and given Ms. Floyd's excellent credentials, we recommend that she be offered the grade of GS-11, step 7, at a salary of $51,269. "33. Kolish received the requested authority. Respondent was offered a position at GS-11, step 7, and began work at the Commission shortly afterwards. "34. Respondent and Iverson ele cted not to disclose their marital relationship because th ey did not con sider it relevant to the hiring decision. "35. In various e mploymen t documents, required to be completed for purpo ses unrelated to Respo ndent's actual hire, Respondent identified Iverson as her husband when that information was specifically requested. "36. Kolish and Lupovitz did not become aware of the relationship between Respondent and Iverson until 2004, when they were advised of the fact by the Commission's Office of General C ounsel. "37. After the discovery that Resp ondent and Ivers on were married, a meeting was held in Kolish's office between Kolish, Lupovitz, Respondent and John Graubert, Esquire of the Office of Gen eral Coun sel. "38. At the me eting, Resp ondent w as advised that Kolish and Lupov itz viewed her failure to disclose her marriage to Iverson as misleading and advised her to be more concerned about appearances in the future. "39. No formal disciplinary action was taken; however, the matter was refe rred to the Attorney Grievance Commission of Maryland. "40. For reason s that do no t relate to the issu es raised in the Petition for Disciplinary or Remedial Action, Respondent is no longer employed by the Commission. Discussion "Rule 8.4 (c) provides It is professional misconduct for a lawyer to: 6 (c) engage in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation. "Petitioner contends that Respondent's concealment of her marital relationship with Iverson was an implicit representation to the Commission that Iverson was someone with whom she had o nly a business relation ship, and tha t this representation was dec eitful and dishonest because it led the Commission to believe that Iverson's recommendation and competing job offer were made by someone who was unbiased and who had no financial stake in the amount of money offered to her by the Commission. "Respondent argues that § 720.901 of the Code of Federal Regulations ("C.F.R." ) prohibits the federal government from discriminating agains t her on the bas is of he r marital status. She then asserts that this regulation excused her from disclosing that the individual who was providing a job recommendation and a competing job offer was her husband. "C.F.R. § 720.901 provides Equal opportu nity without regard to politics or marital status. (a) In appointments and position changes. In determining the merit and fitness of a person for a com petitive appointment or appointment by non-com petitive action to a position in the competitive service, an appointing officer shall not discriminate on the basis of the person's political affiliations, except when required by statute, or on the basis of marital status. (b) In adverse actions and termination of probationers. An agency may not take an adverse action against an employee covered by part 752 of this chapter, not effect the termination of a probationer under part 31 5 of this chapte r, (1) for political reasons, except when required by statute, or (2) because of marital status. "Respondent did not explicitly misstate any fa ct. However, the law recognizes that deceit can be based on 7 concealment of material f acts as we ll as on overt misrepresentations. Levin v. Singer, 227 Md. 47, 64 (1961) ("Where concealm ent effectiv ely suppresse s material fac ts with the object of creating or continuing a false impression, a cause of action based on fraud may arise.") In Brodsky v. Hull, 196 Md. 509, 515-16 (1950), the Court of Appeals said that "[a] fact is material if its ex istence or no nexistence is a matter to which a reasonable man would attach importance in determining his choice of action in the transactio n . . . ." While Petitioner does not have to prove the elements of fraud to establish a violation of Rule 8 .4 (c), these principles are useful in assessing Respon dent's con duct. "The Cou rt accepts Respon dent and Iverson's explanation as to w hy they elected not to advise the Commission that they were married. However, acceptance of that explanation does not resolve the question o f whethe r their marriage was a fact that would have been material to either the hiring of Respondent, or the salary at which she was hired. "The letter written on Iverson's office station ary with his Connecticut Avenue address to Respondent at their home address was clearly intended to be relied on for the purpose of attaining a salary greater than that to which Respondent, a s a new hire, would have otherwise been entitled to receive . It was intended to be relied on and failure to disclose the actual relationship between Respondent and Iverson deprived the Commission of the opp ortunity to explore the bona fides of the offer. "No reasonable person would accept that a relationship of spouse and spou se would not be relev ant to whether an offering is to be relied upon as the product of an arms leng th relationship between the obje cts of an inquiry. Iverson's letter begins "Dear Ms. Floyd", as though addressed to someone with whom Iverson had only a business relationship. The letter states the basis for the salary offer and sets out a standa rd of six ca ses per mo nth that Respo ndent w ould be expec ted to handle to earn it. In the last sentence of the first paragraph, Iverson sets out that the salary will be subject to 'renegotiation' at the end o f one year. The concept of negotiation clearly creates the impression that the relationship between Respond ent and Iverson w as arm's length. "An interesting feature of the letter is its concluding 8 sentence, which states, "Regardless of where your future employment decisions take you , I wish you the best of luck in your career." Whatever personal message Iverson may have intended to convey to Respondent, the only reasonable conclusion from this se ntence is tha t the two would have no further day-to-day contact if Respondent decided to work for the Commission.2 "Responden t's removal of the first period of employment with Iverson from her résumé conceale d the fact that they had known each other for some time before 1998, the beginning year of Respo ndent' s secon d perio d of em ploymen t with Iv erson. A comparison of the résumé sho ws that on both ré sumés, Respondent listed three jobs she had before her first employment with Iverson, none of which was in the legal field. Inclusion of the first period of employment would have alerted the careful résumé reviewer to the fact that Respondent and Iverson had both moved to the District of Columbia from Columbus, Ohio, and would have led the careful résumé reviewer to question Respondent or Iverson about the coincidence and, if answered honestly, either would have disclosed the relationship between employer and employee. While one has to acknowledge great discretion in marshalling information to be included in a résumé, selective exclusion of information relevant to the weight to be given to various references is perilous when that which is excluded takes on more relevance with regard to benefits sought from the person from w hom the in formation would b e relevant. _______________________ " 2 Iverson testified that the object of the final sentence of the letter was to assure Respondent that he wou ld consider to support her whatever decision she made, even though he would have preferred that she work with him. _______________________ "The C ourt elects not to question whe ther Responden t's value as reflected in Iverson's letter to Resp ondent. Indeed, the Commission could have determined that Respondent's income- making capacity at that m oment in h er career w as equivale nt to that expressed in Iverson's letter. But it is clear that such an 9 impression, alone, would not have allowed Responden t's hire at an above entry-leve l salary. The failure to disclose the relationship between Iverson and Respondent had the natural consequence of depriving the Commission of an independent determination of the bona fides of Iverson's offer and Respondent reaped the intended benefit of the letter, the higher salary. "The effect of Iv erson's letter w as to induce Kolish to seek authorization to offer Respondent a higher salary than that which was proposed in the original offer. While Kolish's March 28, 2000 m emorand um refers to additional factors, all of them were in existence when the original offer was made. It is clear that Iverson's job offer was the principal motivating factor in Kolish's decision to seek a greater salary for Respondent. In short, Respon dent know ingly conceale d from the Comm ission that her job reference and her competing job offer came from her husband, knowing that the agency would assume that they came from someone who had no bias or ulterior motive. By suppressing a material fact, Respondent created a false impression and furthered it with the letter of March 16, 2000 to reap the benefit of a higher salary. Levin v. Singer, 227 Md. at 64. This co nduct w as deceitfu l. "The Court is unable to see the connection urged by Respondent betwe en her la ck of d isclosur e and C .F.R. § 720.901. To disclose an intimate relationship between one who is identified as a person to be contacted to assess one's qualifications or one who has been identified as making a job offer to be honestly received as a basis fo r a salary above that to which one might otherwise be qualified would not run afoul of the above-quoted regulation. "Fully aware of the importance of references and the central role that a pending job offer would have on her starting salary, Respondent elected to involve her husband in her job application. Having done so, R esponde nt's failure to d isclose that she and Iverson were married to each other, deprived the Commission of information material to its ability to make an appropriate assessment of Iverson's recommendation and job offer. C.F.R. § 720.901 cannot be read to shield Respondent from the prohibition of Rule 8.4 (c) that she no t engage in conduct involving deceit or misrepresentation. 10 Conclusion "On the basis of the foreg oing Findings of Fact and Discussion, the Court concludes that Respondent violated Rule 8.4 (c) of the Rules of Professional Condu ct by engaging in conduct involving "deceit or misrep resenta tion". The deceit or misrepresentation was Respondent's failure to disclose to the Federal Trade Commission the fact that Frederick D. Iverson, Esquire was her h usband. R esponde nt's failure to m ake this disclosure was exacerbated by her reques t to Iverson to produce a letter offering her a job at a salary above the entry-level for the position offered her by the Commission. This letter was necessary for Respondent to obtain a beginning salary of $51,269.00, rather than the $42,724.00, the Commission was otherwise authorized to offer Respondent. The relationship between Respondent and Iverson was ma terial to the ability of the Commission to determine the bona fides of the job and salary offered in the letter provided by Iverson, an employer who had earlier given Re sponden t a "100% recommendation". Recommendation "It is recommended that Respondent be reprimanded for violation of Rule 8.4 (c), rather than suspende d or disbarre d, in light of the following mitigating circumstances: "1) Responden t's husband actually desired at the time of the deceitful conduct that she would work with him; "2) Sufficient other bases existed for the decision of the Comm ission to hire R esponde nt; "3) It was possible that, had Respondent disclosed her relationship with Iverson, the Commission may have determined that his job offer to Respondent was bona fide and sufficient to merit the salary at which Respondent was hired; and "4) The Commission was sufficiently satisfied with her performance as an agen cy attorney that it elected to confront Respon dent and to continue her employment with the ag ency upon d iscovery of the deceit. (emphasis in original). 11 DISCUSSION The hearing judge found that Respondent had violated Rule 8.4 (c ) by "engagin g in conduct involving 'deceit or misrepresentation'." Neither Petitioner nor Respondent took exception to the hearing ju dge's finding s of fac t. Therefore, we a ccept the hearing cou rt's findings of fact, as established, for the purpose of determining the appropriate sanction. Maryland Rule 16-7 59 (b)(2)(A ); Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Logan, 390 Md. 313, 319, 888 A.2d 35 9, 363 (2005). We note that this Court has original and complete jurisdiction over attorney disciplinary proceedings.4 Attorney Grievance Comm'n v.

Mininsohn, 380 Md. at 564, 846 A.2d 370 (2004); Awuah, 374 Md. at 520, 823 A.2d at 660. Respondent took exception to the hearing judge's conclusion of law. She exce pts to 4 While this Court apprec iates the diligence by which this judge and all of the other judges approach their tasks in finding the facts and making conclusions of law and identifying mitigating and aggravating circumstances in Attorney Grievance matters, we encourage them to refrain from making recommendations regarding sanctions, no matter how much a party entre ats them to do so . See Md. Rule 16-752 (a) (defining the authority of Court of Appeals to enter an order designating a circuit court judge to condu ct an evidentiary hearing); id. at 16-757 (c) (defining the duties of the hearing judge, but including no authority to recommend sa nctions). 12 Judge Martin's conclusion that "her failure to inform the Federal Trade Commission of her marriage to Mr. Iverson constituted a deliberate omission of material fact in violation o f Rule 8.4 (c) of the Maryland Rules of Professional Conduct." Respondent asserts that 5 U.S.C. § 2302 (b)(1)(E)5 and 5 C.F.R. § 720.901 (a)6 "spe cific ally, unequivo cally a nd unqualifiedly" prohibit a federal agency, during the employment process, from considering marital status. The sole question before us therefore, is whether Respondent, in proffering a letter from her husba nd, who did no t share the same surnam e, in support of an incre ase in salary from that which she had been offered by the Commission, engaged in "conduct involving dish onesty, fraud, deceit or misrepresentation," Rule 8.4 (c), when in so doing led th e Commission to believe that she had "purely an employer-employee" relationship with her husband, Mr. Iverson. We agree with Judge Martin that Respondent violated Rule 8.4 (c) when she "dep rived the C ommissio n of inform ation materia l to its ability to make an 5 5 U.S.C. § 2302 (b)(1)(E) (2000) provides: Any employee who has authority to take, direct others to take, recommend, or approve any personnel action, shall not, with respect to such authority . . . discriminate for or against any employee or applican t for emplo yment . . . on the basis of marital status or political affiliation, as prohibited under any law, rul e, or reg ulation[ .] 6 5 C.F.R. § 720.901 (a) states: In determining the merit and fitness of a person for competitive appointment or appoin tment by noncompetitive action to a position in the competitive service, an ap pointing officer shall not discriminate on th e bas is of the p erso n's political affiliations, except when required by statute, or on the basis of marital status[.] 13 approp riate asse ssmen t of M r. Iverso n's reco mmen dation a nd job o ffer." In the present case, as the hearing judge fou nd, Resp ondent did not "explicitly" misstate any fact but rather, concealed a material fact that she had a relationship of significance with the person who penned the letter that she inten tionally submitted in support of her petition for a higher salary. The hearing judge found that the correspondence at issue, which was written on office stationary addressed to Respondent at her home address that she shared with her husband, included the appellation "Dear Ms. Floyd" with language suggesting that the salary referenced therein would be subject to "renegotiation," and concluded with the sentence stating, "Regardless of where your future employment decisions take you, I wish you the best of luck in your career," w as intended to concea l a relationship other than that of an emplo yer and emp loyee. Judge M artin cogen tly noted that Respondent also omitted from her résumé any reference to her employment with Mr. Iverson before she and he relocated to the District of Columbia, although other non-legal employment prior to that time was included. Respondent concealed her relationship with her husband in her attempt to secure a higher starting salary from the Commission than she otherwise would have received. As the hearing judge noted, deceit can be based not only on overt misrepresentation but on concealment of materia l facts. See Hoffman v. Stamper, 385 Md. 1, 28 n.12, 867 A.2d 276, 292 n.12 (2005) ("It has long been clear that '[f]raud may consist in a suppression of the truth as well as in the assertion of a falsehoo d.'") (citation om itted); Parish v. M d. & Va. M ilk Producers Ass'n, 250 Md. 24, 72, 242 A.2d 512, 539 (1968) ("It is well established that 14 actionable fraud ma y result from the concealm ent of ma terial facts as w ell as from the false statement of material facts."); Levin v. Singer, 227 Md. 47, 64, 175 A.2d 423, 432 (1961) ("Where [] concealment effectively suppresses material facts with the object of creating or continuing a false impression, a cause of action based on fraud may arise."). While it is true that Respondent did not lie in her quest to gain a higher salary, her concealment led to a perception that she and Mr. Iverson stood at arms-length from one another, rather than as husband and wife, and as such, she encouraged a less-than accurate representation.7 We agree with the District of Columbia Court of Appeals when it noted in another case involving an inaccu racy in the app lication proce ss: In the first place Respondent had an ethical and professional obligation to furnish information that he knew to be accurate. The resume is usually the first significant information a prospective employer rec eives abou t a candidate ; its accuracy is essential. In re Hadzi-Antich, 497 A.2d 1062, 1065 (D.C. 1985) (emphasis added). Further, the Supreme Court of Florida, when confronted with a situation in which a respondent concealed information about his criminal history on his résumé, determined that the concealment reflected a lack of good moral character and constituted "conduct which would cause a reasonab le man to have substantial doubts about [his] honesty, fairness and respect for the 7 See Conn ie Swe mba, To Tell the Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth: Employment Referenc es and To rt Liability, 33 U. Tol. L. Re v. 847, 850 (2002) ("[ R]eliable references are necessary because prospective employers can make effective decisions that are more responsible during the hiring process when they have the advantage of an open, honest, and informative employment reference f rom a pas t employer."); id. at 852 ("[P]rospective employers need candid employment references to fit the right person to the right job."). 15 rights of others a nd for the laws of the state and nation." Florida Bar re Jahn, 559 So.2d 1089, 1090 ( Fla. 199 0) (citatio n omitte d). See also In re Wolmer, 650 N.Y.S.2d 679, 680 (N.Y. App. Div. 1996) (stating that submitting a false and misleading résumé and reference letter to several prospective employers, including exaggerating the amount of time he worked at prior positions and omitting othe r positions all together, was "serious" m isconduc t); In re Norwood, 438 N.Y.S.2d 788 (NY. App. Div. 1981) (dishonest conduct for submitting false and misleading résumé to prospectiv e employer); In re Lavery, 587 P.2d 157 (Wash. 1978) (misconduct involving d ishonesty and misrepresentation when attorney falsified his résumé, transcript, and letters of recomm endation). The fact that the Commission could not discriminate against Respondent on account of her marital status, as codified in 5 C.F.R. § 720.901 (a) ("In determining the merit and fitness of a person for competitive appointment or appointment by noncompetitive action to a position in the competitive service, an appointing officer shall not discriminate on the bas is of the person's political affiliations, except when required by statute, or on the basis of marital status[.]"), is not in issue. Rather, regardless of w hether Respond ent and Mr. Iverson had been married, they enjoyed a close personal relationship, a material fact that Respondent should not have concealed when she voluntarily submitted the offer letter to the Commission. Her concealm ent of a close personal relationship with Mr. Iverson, in addition to that of employee and employer, impeded the ability of the F ederal Tra de Com mission to question and evaluate the bona fides of what was proffered as a competing offer. Clearly, in an application for emplo yment, the pro spective em ployer is concerned about any potential bias 16 of an author of a letter submitted by an applicant, whether such bias be social, intimate, or economic. In this case, Respondent engaged in "conduct involving d ishonesty, fraud , deceit, or misrepresentation" in violation of Rule 8.4 (c) when she concealed the nature of her relationship with Mr. Iverson in order to obtain a higher starting salary with the Federal Trade Commission. SANCTION In the case sub judice, Respo ndent h as viola ted Ru le 8.4 (c). Respondent asserts that because the hearing judge's co nclusion o f law w as not supp orted by clear an d convinc ing evidence , no sanction is appropriate and the action should be dismissed. Petitioner, on the other hand, recommends that Respondent be suspended for a period of ninety days because she has been found to have engaged in dishonest conduct by concealing the fact that M r. Iverson w as not a disin terested refe rence. W e agree w ith Bar Co unsel. As a general rule, the appropriate sanction for a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct "depends on the facts and circumstances of each case, including consideration of any mitigating factors," Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Zuckerman, 386 Md. 341, 375, 872 A.2d 693, 713 (2005), in furtherance of the purposes of attorney discipline: "'to protect the public, to deter othe r lawyers from engaging in violations of the Maryland Rules of Professional Condu ct, and to ma intain the integ rity of the legal pro fession.'" Id. (quoting Awuah, 374 M d. at 526, 82 3 A.2d a t 663) (citation s omitted). In Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Sheridan, 357 Md. 1, 27, 741 A.2d 1143, 1157 (1999), we said: Because 'an attorney's character must rem ain beyond reproach' 17 this 'Court has the duty, since attorneys are its officers, to insist upon the maintenance of the integrity of the bar and to prevent the transgressions of an individual lawyer from bringing its image into disrepute. Disciplinary proceedings have been established for this purpose, not for punishment, but rather as a cathars is for the profes sion an d a prop hylactic fo r the pu blic.' (quoting Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Deutsch, 294 Md. 353, 368-69, 450 A.2d 1265, 1273 (1982)) (cita tions omitted ) (emphas is in original). When imposing sanctions, we have enunciated that, "'[t]he pu blic is protected when san ctions are imposed that are comme nsurate with the na ture and gra vity of the violatio ns and the intent with which they were comm itted." Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Gore , 380 Md. 455, 472, 845 A.2d 1204, 1213 (2004 ). Therefore, in this case w e consider th e nature of the ethical du ty violated in light of an y aggravating or mitig ating cir cumsta nces. Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Sweitzer, 395 Md. 586 , 598-99, 911 A .2d 440, 447-48 (2 006). In Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Potter, 380 M d. 128, 8 44 A.2 d 367 (2004), we considered what sanction was appropriate for an attorney who deleted client records fro m his office computer prior to leaving the firm's employ. We determined that Potter violated Rules 8.4 (b), (c), and (d) and concluded that he should receive a ninety day suspension from the practice of law. We iterated that Potter had no prior disciplinary record, his misconduct was an isolated incident, and that his motive was to act in the best interests of his c lients. Potter, 380 Md. at 162-63, 844 A.2d at 387-88. In Attorney G rievance C omm'n v. Maxw ell, 307 M d. 600, 5 16 A.2 d 570 (1986), Maxw ell, while representing two individuals charged with drug trafficking in Florida, 18 delivered a dee d to h is clie nt's b ail bo ndsm an, p urpo rting to co nvey land on the Eastern Shore from Jaxon and Associate s, Inc. to the ba il bondsman's principal; the deed contained the signature of "Ronald Jaxon," and was witnessed and notarized by Maxw ell. In fact, there was no s uch perso n as "Ro nald Jaxo n," and M axwell had witnessed one of his clients sign under that name. Based upon these facts, the hearing judge concluded that Maxwell had engaged in misconduct involving misrepresentation and false statements in violation of Disciplinary Rules 1-102(A )(4),8 the predec essor to Ru le 8.4 (c), as w ell as Rules 1- 102(A)(1) and 7-102(A)(5).9 For these indiscretions, we issued Maxwell a ninety day suspension. Maxw ell, 307 Md. at 605, 516 A.2d at 572. In reaching this conclusion, we noted that although we could not "condone deliberate falsification of a solemn document by an experienc ed attorney," M axwell ha d an unb lemished d isciplinary record, expressed remorse for his actions, and his conduct did not result in any actual harm: "In cases where the improper conduct of the lawyer involved misrepresentation, the severity of th e sanction to be imposed for the miscond uct depen ds upon th e facts and circumstances of the particular case." We have given careful consideration to those facts and circumstances. W e recognize M axwell's prior good record and his rem orse, as we ll as the lack o f actual harm in this case. Yet we cannot condone deliberate falsification of a solemn document by an experienced attorney. That this action was done 8 Disciplinary Rule 1-10 2(A)(4) p rovided that "[a] law yer shall not . . . [e]ng age in conduct involving dishonesty, fraud, deceit, or misrepresentation." Disciplinary Rule 1- 102(A)(4) was the predecessor to Rule 8.4 (c), which took effect when we adopted the Rules of Professional Conduct effective January 1, 1987. 9 Disciplinary Rule 1-102(A)(1) provided that "[a] lawyer shall not . . . [v]iolate a disciplinary rule"; Disciplinary Rule 7-102(A)(5) stated that "[i]n his representation of a client, a la wyer sha ll not . . . [k] nowin gly make a false s tateme nt of law or fact." 19 to assist a client in obtaining bail, rather than for the la wyer 's personal gain, does not exempt Maxwell from discipline. The imposition of a suspen sion from the practice of law furthers "the primary purpose of protecting the public by demonstrating the type of misconduct which this Court and the legal profession will not tolerate." We conclude that in order to protect the public from mis conduct o f this sort, a 90-day suspension is the proper sanctio n. Id. (citations omitted). In Attorney Grievance Comm'n v. Haupt, 285 Md. 39, 399 A.2d 1350 (1979), we addressed what the a ppropriate sanction was for a n attorney wh o violated D isciplinary Rule 1-102(A)(4). During a visit with his clie nt in lock-up , Haupt bro ught his clien t's fiancée w ith him, who he represented as his assistant when queried by an officer with the Sheriff's Department; the fiancée would not have been admitted to the lock-up if her true status had not been concealed. We determined that Haupt violated Rule 1-102(A)(4); given the dishonest nature of his misconduct a nd the fact that it constituted a second offense, we impos ed a nin ety day susp ension . Haupt, 285 Md. at 44, 399 A.2d at 1353. In Prince George's County Bar Association v. Vance, 273 Md. 79, 327 A.2d 767 (1974), Vance forged a form indicating that he had been assigned to active military du ty in order to give him access to a Post Exchange, where he made several purchases ranging from $12 to $14, w hich allo wed h im to sav e rough ly $1.00. Vance conceded that his conduct reflected deceit in violation of Disciplinary Rule 1-10 2(A)(4). A ddressing th e approp riate sanction to impose, we noted that although Vance had expressed genuine remors e for his miscond uct, which was an isolated instance and resulted in only minimal personal gain, the 20 violation was still serious enough to warrant a ninety day suspension from the practice of law: Nor, however, is this properly a case for a bare reprimand, let alone an outright dismissal of these proceedings. Our earlier observations are largely dispositive here. However minimal the amount involved m ay have bee n, the inesca pable fact re mains that resp ondent's acts were the fruits of misrepresentation; moreover, they were studied, not impulsive. It is questionable whether conduct such as occurred here can ever be so lightly regarded as to result in no more than a mere reprimand. Though not committed in a professional capacity, the actions of respondent neverthele ss reflect direc tly upon his fitn ess as an attorney[ .] A reprimand, as the least severe sanction which may be imposed in a disciplina ry proceeding , is clearly reserved for misconduct that is not affected with such deception as was exhibited here. In our considered judgment, the proper sanction to be applied here is a suspension of 90 days. Vance, 273 Md. at 84-85, 327 A.2d at 770 (citation omitted). Like in Potter, Maxw ell, Haupt and Vance, Respondent's misconduct reflected dish onesty; she violated Rule 8.4 (c) by intentionally concealing the nature of her relationship with Mr. Iverson from the Federal Trade Commission during her employment application process in order to obtain a higher salary. Moreover, we find it troubling that Respondent omitted from her résumé any reference to her employment with Mr. Iverson before she and he relocated to the District of Columbia, although non-legal employment prior to this time was included. We also, however, consider any mitigating factors when determining the appropriate sanction, to include: "absence of a prior disciplinary record; absence of a dishonest or selfish motive; personal or emotional problems; timely good 21 faith efforts to make restitution or to rectify consequences of miscond uct; full and free disclosure to disciplinary board or cooperative attitude toward proceedings; inexperience in the practice of law; character or repu tation; physical or mental disability or impairment; delay in disciplinary proceedings; interim rehabilitation; imposition of other penalties or sanctions; remorse; and finally, remoteness of prior offenses." Sweitzer, 395 Md. at 599, 911 A.2d at 448 (quoting Glenn, 341 Md. at 488-89, 671 A.2d at 483 (1996)). In this case, Respondent has no prior disciplinary record, and the instant violation is not part of a pattern o f misco nduct. Additionally, she acknow ledged her error. Considering all of the circumstances, Respondent's deceitful conduct warrants a ninety day suspension from the practice of law. IT IS SO ORDERED; RESPONDENT SHALL PAY ALL COSTS AS TAXED BY THE CLERK OF THIS COURT, INCLUDING C O S T S O F A L L TRA N S C R I P T S, PURSUANT TO MARYLA ND RUL E 16- 715(c), FOR W HICH SUM JUDGMENT IS ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE ATTORNEY GRIEVANCE COMMISSION. 22
