Another year passed. I would have been 21 this year. At this time last year I was saying that Mom, Keshy and the medicines were losing the battle against her UTI and the asthma. I guess my birthday every year going forward is going to be overshadowed because Keshy went to the Bridge the day after my birthday.
Well she's here with me now. This isn't exactly what I would have wished for my birthday. Our ashes are sitting next to each other on Mom's bookshelf too.
Mom was digging through the cabinets and found my stuff just today. Funny, she could never bring herself to part with it. She just made the decision to either use the two (mock) crystal bowls I used for my food and water or to get rid of them. She also found the apple bitters she put on Keshy to keep me from having my way with her. Those apple bitters are almost 14 years old now, Mom. Time to get rid of them!
We're still trying to figure out if it's that Mom forms an emotional attachment to things because of the memories they invoke or if she just thinks 'what if I need it again?' At least Cappuccino and B.A.'s bowls aren't there anymore. My bowls were much better ones. Who is she kidding?? Except for the one water bowl she won't use them again—too many memories. That makes the stuff hard to part with, doesn't it?
But it's my birthday, what am I talking about? Happy Birthday to me! I spent the day celebrating with the other angels while Mom spent the day thinking about some of the things I used to do. All in all, it wasn't a bad day.
Thanks for stopping by my page.
Thank you:
Smokey Joe and Family for the pretty rainbow
Molly Angel for the wonderful top hat to match my tux. Green always looks wonderful with black and white—and the ice cream cake was positively divine.
Nala Sue (Angel) for the yummy shrimpie.
Monster for the Blue Ribbon.
Family of Bella and Orange Ruffy for the lucky four-leaf clover.
Family of Big Harry and Patches for the beautiful heart.
Teebo, Callie and Rose for the Pink Ribbon—my Marrakech's favorite color!
Griswold for the lucky four-leaf clover. (Man, you are getting big!)
Monida for the pretty heart.
And thanks for the p-mails:
Tabbie O'Trout Towne - I love "cake, pie, pork chops, burgers, ham samiches, sghetti, tunie on hole wheet and oh course...trout..., flounder, bass, perch AND mackerel". Good thing I've got a hearty appetite, 'cause I'll have them all! MOL
Pipo and Minko for the card with the piano-playing Catereoke dude!
Thank you all for a stopping by to remember me. It's been a few days since my bridge day and Mom got busy and then today, she had a humdinger of a migraine. So we're late in saying thank you.
Watching the goings on at home is sure amusing. Since Keshy died, Samsara has started driving Mom crazy. MOL! She wasn't that demanding while I was there! And, the lucky little rat, since Colette took over the sofa, she's been trying to figure out a way to get sofa time too. (Mom never let any of us, except for Colette, on that sofa. Colette was finally allowed to go there when Keshy and Samsara wouldn't let her go on the bed. Mom still doesn't want her there because Samsara has always been a messy barfer. She lets it roll where ever she happens to be. If Colette has to barf she usually makes it to the wood floor and does it there. )
Mom would have let her get away with it in exchange for a photo the other day. When Mom came out of the bedroom, there was Colette in her usual spot (Mom's spot) on the sofa—except it looked like she had two heads! The second head was growing out of Colette's hip. The rest of Samsara was hidden behind one of the cushions! Samsara saw Mom heading for the camera and jumped down before Mom could take the picture. Better luck next time (and there will be a next time), Mom.
Thank you for all the lovely gifts you left for me and Mom:
Nakita for the Angel Star
Tabbies (o' Trout Towne) for the Rainbow Star
Smokey Joe, Milo, Mallee, and Sam for the pretty Crown
Anonymous (who sounds suspiciously like Nuk) for the Angel Star
Monida for the Rainbow
Tink and Snowfor the Rainbow

What to say… time goes by and while the love stays, the memories grow more dim.
I miss him. What a cat! He loved people; he loved being with you and loved helping (hindering) with anything you were doing.
I just spent the day remembering little incidents—snippets of stories, really.
The very first weekend when my friend and I brought him home to her house as a tiny little kitten, her (now ex-) husband, Jack, claimed he was allergic to cats, and didn't want Misha in the house because of their small children. At that time, their youngest was 6 months and the oldest was 3 years. Jack thought that animals were dirty and carried germs. I'm still willing to bet that Jack hated cats and that the kids carried more germs than 12-week-old Misha. But, anyway, we found a rather tall box for Misha, and he spent his first night with us in the box in their garage. Or so we thought. When we got up in the morning I went to attend to him—he wasn't there. I found him, unhurt, emitting rapid-fire staccato cries—eh, eh, eh, eh, eh—from the bottom of their empty steel trash can. How he got there was anyone's guess. I came that close, then, to accusing Jack of having put him there. Fourteen years on, I'm not so sure that Misha didn't get there all by himself, knowing his penchant for mischief.
Home, not too long afterwards, he found the toilet paper. I looked up in time to see him proudly carrying the end of the roll in his mouth, head up, tail proudly in the air, and toilet paper flag unfurling behind him.
Toys? Not in a conventional sense. He loved to carry around the leash the vet gave us, and he loved anything he could turn into a hockey puck like there was no tomorrow. No small round object dropped inadvertently escaped his notice. He was off with it in a flash—bottle caps, coins, buttons, subway tokens.
He loved his Marrakech. He picked her as his mate, in every sense of the word, from the first week he spent with her and was hers for the rest of his life. I swore at the time that Marrakech wasn't mine, she was Misha's. It wasn't until after Misha went to the bridge that Keshy became so deeply attached to me. She was still a baby when he started mounting her. My vet solved the problem by suggesting I put apple bitters between her shoulder blades. It didn't deter him for very long, but the first time he tasted the apple bitters I laughed so hard. He had the funniest look on his face: "Gee, I don't remember her tasting that bad the last time!"
A favorite game of his was to walk everyone to the door as they were leaving. When an unsuspecting neighbor had their door open, I thanked my lucky stars the building was small and I knew almost all of them. I had to fish him out of their apartments. He also liked nothing better than leading me on a wild goose chase three flights up or down. Usually, he went up the stairs—I always had to collect him at the doorway to the roof.
One time he never made it that far. The people in the apartment directly above mine had decorated their door with Christmas gift wrap and a large bow. By the time I caught up with him he was hurling his body at the door. Whap, whap, whap. I didn't yet know that neighbor.
I've mentioned elsewhere how his trip to a vet to have him fixed caused major psychological problems every time I needed to take him. We tried medicating him with phenobarbital before I would bring him in. It didn't do much good. In later years, the vet wanted to see him as much as he wanted to see her. To be fair, the vet didn't want to stress him any further than was absolutely necessary.
I phoned her the day Misha got one of his claws embedded in his pad. She taught me how to perform the extraction over the phone. I took him into the bathroom, shut the door, and put him in my lap. I turned him on his back and braced myself for the worst. The worst never happened. I shook like a leaf while Misha calmly let me do what I needed to do. Wow!
As, Finney or Lacey might say, he was a 'pain in the behind', but what a lovable, loving character he was! Misha is gone but the love and the stories remain. I am truly blessed to have been able to have spent fourteen years of my life with this incredible creature.
Misha, I love you.
Mom, Carol

San Francisco, California

Event Details
What is Sustainability?
One definition of sustainability is that it is a business approach
that creates long-term value by embracing opportunities and managing risks derived from economic, environmental, and social developments. Creating a sustainable environment requires visionary leadership!
To create and lead an organization that will maintain a competitive advantage during these turbulent times, many executives will have to transform an organizational culture that was founded on yesterday's paradigms and ideas. Priorities will shift, and thinking will have to change. Attitudes and behaviors reflecting new and different social and organizational values will have to be adapted. For many people, learning to adjust to change will be difficult, and managing change will present even greater challenges. Organizational success will require leadership that is focused on positive results!
In this briefing we will discuss the role a leader plays in creating a stronger brand, enhanced ability to enter new markets; enhanced ability to attract, retain, and motivate employees; increased customer loyalty; and the leadership competencies needed to create a sustainable organization.
Come join us for a FREE informative discussion, hear what other L.I. business professionals are doing to develop a Strategic Plan for the new year, continental breakfast and networking!

The truth is that if you are a child of God, He will never leave you or forsake you. But it is also true that you can feel more close to Him or less close to Him based on how you respond to His commands and promises. When you look back on your life you will either say that "God was faithful and I rested in His peace…" or that "God was faithful but I kept worrying about everything anyway…"
One thing is sure: God will be faithful. He will not leave you, He will not forsake you. But the degree to which you, as His child, feel His peace is determined by your response to His goodness.

I am trying to skin the GoodReader icon and the loading page "the retina way". However, I am unable to find the name of the folder/bundle of GoodReader. I could do it the lazy way by creating an icons folder but would prefer to do it the proper way. I did manage to find the GoodReader folder at iPhone in a folder with a string of numbers. I did try to overwrite the icon png but decided not to do so because I want to keep the original icon.
And one more question- what is the difference between bundles and folders? It is a bit hit and miss for me as the icons sometimes is to be placed at the folders and sometimes at the bundles.


text: PRINCETON, N.J., Aug. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Soligenix, Inc. (OTCQB: SNGX) (Soligenix or the Company), a development stage biopharmaceutical company, announced today the results of a Phase 1B clinical trial of an aluminum hydroxide (Alum) adjuvanted formulation of RiVax™, designed to improve the immunogenicity of the vaccine. The results of the Phase 1B study indicate that Alum adjuvanted RiVax ™ is safe and well tolerated, and induces greater ricin neutralizing antibody levels in humans than adjuvant-free RiVax™. The results of this study have been published in the online edition of Clinical and Vaccine Immunology http://cvi.asm.org/content/early/2012/08/16/CVI.00381-12.full.pdf . The Phase 1B trial was conducted by investigators at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) led by Dr. Ellen Vitetta, Director of the Cancer Immunobiology Center at UTSW and supported by a combination of grants including a $940,000 grant from the Office of Orphan Products Development (OOPD) of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The trial in healthy volunteers was designed to evaluate the long term safety and immunogenicity of escalating doses of the vaccine up to one year after a primary vaccination, in which the vaccine was administered by intramuscular injections at 0, 6 weeks, and 6 months in doses of 10 and 100 micrograms. The vaccine was well tolerated in all individuals with only mild side effects that are typical of reactions to vaccines injected intramuscularly. At peak antibody titers determined two weeks after the third vaccination, all of the subjects developed neutralizing antibodies against ricin toxin. When comparing peak antibody titers obtained in the Phase 1B trial to that of the prior Phase 1A trial which used an adjuvant-free formulation of RiVax™, all subjects in the 10 microgram dose group of the Phase 1B trial developed neutralizing antibodies with the Alum formulation of RiVax™ compared to only one of five subjects in the 10 microgram group of the adjuvant-free vaccine. For the 100 microgram dose vaccine, peak neutralizing titers were four-fold higher with the Alum formulation of RiVax™ as compared to the adjuvant-free vaccine, with total antibody titers (including all antibodies directed against the vaccine) 17 fold higher. Of all vaccine recipients of both the high dose (100 micrograms) and the low dose (10 micrograms) in the Phase 1B trial, 100% were seropositive at nine months after the first vaccination, with 60% remaining positive at one year. "These positive results indicate a route forward for the further development of the vaccine in larger and more definitive trials in humans and to provide the additional correlates of protective immunity in pivotal animal studies," said Robert N. Brey, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer of Soligenix. "With the formal Request for Information (RFI) from the Department of Defense regarding the status of ricin toxin vaccine development, we believe that Soligenix is well positioned to collaborate with the DoD on the future development of RiVax™." Dr. Brey continued, "The Phase 1B results demonstrate that well characterized adjuvants can improve the performance of highly purified subunit antigens such as the one contained in RiVax™. The next steps for the development of RiVax™ will include the evaluation of secondary adjuvants to enhance the induction of neutralizing antibodies in fewer doses and the employment of our ThermoVax™ technology to stabilize the ingredients of the vaccine for long term storage at ambient temperature conditions."

Japanese Pleiades have designed a pretty unique looking Trumstand iPhone dock which is a horn-shaped speaker dock that is made out of brass. The Trumstand speaker dock does not rely on any electronic parts to amplify sounds for your iPhone, which works similarly to the MegaPhone that we've seen before.
The Trumstand speaker dock simply makes use of the natural acoustics of its horn-shaped speaker to amplify sounds. In addition, the sound that is emitted from the iPhone's speaker is transmitted to the base of the Trumstand that works as a sound box and transfers sound to the speaker itself.
The base of the Trumstand is also made out of thick alloy which minimizes external vibrations to ensure better sound quality. Two models of Trusmstand are available, a gold and a silver model but they'r priced at hefty prices at $2,000 and $1,800 respectively.

EndNote Web is a cloud-computing bibliographic management application to help users collect, organize and use citations in research. With an EndNote Web account, researchers can keep track of up to 50,000 references and format them in over 3300 different citation styles. The system allows citations to be organized into "groups" so that material for multiple projects can be kept separate and even shared with a team of other users.
References can be imported into the system directly from an article database and, if a PDF or other file of the article exists, it can be attached to the reference for later discovery (up to a 2GB total per account).
To utilize references in a written paper, EndNote Web has some built-ins to simplify the process. The system can create a bibliography from stored references, in the desired citation format. Alternately, l the Cite-While-You-Write plugin can be downloaded and installed (available from inside the EndNote Web account). The system will insert in-text citations and automatically generate a bibliography in the document as it's written.
The EndNote creators have a series of video tutorials available.
There are four different "levels" of EndNote to keep in mind:
EndNote 7 is an application to buy and install on the computer and does not require an internet connection to use (although it can be synced with the online options). It is the most complex and has the most options of any EndNote product. It must be purchased and the University Library does not support all of its features.
EndNote online is the cloud application that provides unlimited reference storage and five GB of attachment storage. Users who own EndNote 6 or 7 have access to EndNote Online.
EndNote Basic is a free bare-bones cloud-based system that anybody can use.
EndNote Web is supported at the Library. Another name for EndNote Web is EndNote Basic Online. It is essentially an upgraded version of Endnote Basic that includes many more choices for citation formats and a larger number of databases that it will interface with directly. EndNote Web has the same features as EndNote Online but provides less reference and attachment storage.
Compare the different "levels" of EndNote here. To see the differences between EndNote Basic and EndNote Web, check the box next to "I have Web of Knowledge" – our subscription to that database (and other Thomson Reuter products) is why we can offer this upgrade free to ISU students and staff.
All members of the Library Reference and Instruction Department have a basic knowledge of EndNote Web and can assist in getting accounts set up and using it. For questions about any EndNote product, contact Sarah Passonneau at firstname.lastname@example.com, the contact person for EndNote questions and the coordinator of the Library's EndNote Web workshops.

At a time of increasing poverty and lack of work, people strive with all their might to uncover an issue that has nothing to do with any real problem in order to divert attention from what matters in our lives. UK Education Minister Michael Gove is now confronting a storm of horror because he -supposedly– used the word, "nigger" in an old rhyme that was common in my childhood. The little ditty went as thus:
eeny, meeny, miny moe, catch a nigger by the toe, if he hollers let him go."
Mr. Gove was citing the rhyme while on a TV show, Top Gear–which is among the shows I refuse to watch. He made three versions of the ditty and attempted to substitute, "teacher" for the "nigger" word. Apparently in one version some might think he was saying "nigger" while he insists he was merely saying, "teacher."
In the world of political politeness we often wander into the ridiculous. A few years ago I was teaching a college class and read something written by Martin Luther King in which he referred to the "Negro people." Three black students approached me after the class and wanted an apology for using the word, Negro." I refused insisting the words used by Martin Luther King stand as he spoke them. Such is the madness of political politeness.

External funding has enabled individuals and organisations to work with Trinity Laban's new Business Enterprise Manager whose role is to facilitate knowledge exchange with Trinity Laban for commercial and community benefit, promoting access to a wide variety of academic specialists, technical expertise and resources, to improve skills, products and business processes.
In 2007, we launched specially funded projects to investigate collaboration between dance and music. We are exploring issues relating to dance and music performers' vocabularies, training dance and music students with disabilities, and looking at ways in which performance might be optimised. We are encouraging the development of new choreographic / music opportunities. All these initiatives signify a vibrant, if relatively small research enterprise, which is expected to grow as new challenges present themselves. Our students benefit from the dialogue that such research generates, as well as in several cases being participants in these research activities. We are actively supporting our staff to engage in research to ensure a growing research output to enable the continuing development of our art forms.
Research Ethics Policy
Trinity Laban ensures that appropriate governance procedures and mechanisms are in place to oversee research involving human participants. The ethical principles of integrity, honesty, confidentiality, voluntary participation, impartiality and the avoidance of personal risk to individuals or social groups characterise research that is conducted in a professional and ethical manner. The key concept of informed consent needs to be understood by both researchers and Trinity Laban's Research Ethics Committees in light of the context, aims and objectives.
Ethical principles for conducting research with human participants
In all circumstances, researchers (which by definition, includes individuals also undertaking postgraduate research) must consider the ethical implications and psychological consequences for the participants in their research. The essential principle is that the investigation should be considered from the standpoint of all participants; foreseeable threats to their psychological well-being, health, values or dignity should be eliminated. Researchers should recognise that, in our multi-cultural and multi-ethnic society and where investigations involve individuals of different ages, gender and social background, the researchers may not have sufficient knowledge of the implications of any investigation for the participants. It should be borne in mind that the best judge of whether an investigation will cause offence may be members of the population from which the participants in the research are to be drawn. All activities that have a potential ethical implication should be forwarded to the Trinity Laban Research Ethics Committee for consideration. The Secretary for this Committee is Angela Kerkhoff [email protected].
Code of Best Practice for Research
- Research should be designed, reviewed and undertaken in a way that ensures its integrity and quality.
- Research staff and participants must be informed fully about the purpose, methods and intended possible uses of the research, what their participation in the research entails and what risks, if any, are involved. Informed consent entails giving as much information as possible about the research so that prospective participants can make an informed decision on their possible involvement.
- The confidentiality of information supplied by research participants and the anonymity of respondents must be respected.
- Research participants must participate in a voluntary way, free from any coercion.
- Harm to research participants must be avoided.
- Consent must be sought for research participants under the age of sixteen.
- The independence and impartiality of researchers must be clear, and any conflicts of interest or partiality must be explicit.
- Participants in collaborative research should at all times follow best practice as regards the accreditation of the work of others.

I'm flying to Las Vegas for a several week long training course for my job. I will be taking my normal carry gun, a Kahr CW9 and I will also be taking my recent purchase, a Ruger LCP for pocket carry. This will be my first time flying with 2 guns. I have often flown with one gun in my checked bag but I am wondering if this is different.
I will be looking up the rules on the TSA site but I am wondering if both guns can be in the same locked hard sided case or not. I'm just not sure what differences having two guns in the bag will change. I also wonder if I will encounter any more attitude than I have experienced from the TSA before.

Not an issue, was no different than as though I had one in the case. Both times it was taken at my word that they were clear. Worry more about the pat down than the 2nd firearm. As always refresh yourself on the guidelines for the TSA and the airline, and carry applicable copies in your carry-on in the case with the gun, and on your person able to show to the TSA and airline at a moments notice; as the actual applicaiton of the procedure varies between airports and some try to pull a fast one and take your key for inspection without you present, or break procedure in other manners, and knowledge of the subject varies wildly even between employees, it's like OC have that mindset of ready to educate if they err on the side of not knowing, even when they think they do know better.

Yes, I've flown with two guns. I couldn't find any regs against it. One gun was an LCP and the other was full-sized but I can't remember what it was. I had both in one case, both were locked back so the slide was open. I opened it up for the guy, he said okay and that was that. I never touched the guns, nor did he, I don't think he's supposed to.
Don't forget ammo has to be packed in an appropriate container, which IIRC can be a magazine.
Helpful hints on pushing back and strengthening the 2A:
Done before, and not a problem to have multiple firearms in one case. A few tips:
- Read the rules themselves: TSA: Traveling with Special Items
- Check with the airline for other specific restrictions
- Check the firearms laws for your departure/arrival airports. I traveled via Boston Logan several years ago with long guns with no problem, and later was told that it could have been an issue. The Airport cops didn't give me a second look, but a couple different groups of travelers gave me the leper glance.
- I've heard that magazines qualify under the "packaging specifically designed to carry small amounts of ammunition," but my recommendation is that you pack your ammo in the original manufacturer's boxes, inside a small hardsided container. It avoids any confusion with local policy about what qualifies as proper packaging. It also lends credence to them being "normal" rounds, as some airlines have rules about what kind of ammo can be carried. I don't reload, but if I was carrying reloads, I'd put them in manufacturer's boxes also.
- I always put the mags (unloaded) in either the case with the firearms or the ammo.
- Make sure you've got real locks - with keys, on your person. You might even carry a spare set of locks just in case.
- VERY IMPORTANT: Until your firearms are on the conveyor, the first thing you should say to EVERY uniformed person - TSA, cop, airline - you talk to, and ANYONE behind a desk or the TSA luggage screening is, "I have firearms in my checked luggage to declare." There are TSA ninjas out there who are looking for a chance to make headlines and are convinced that an easy way to do that is to catch someone with undeclared firearms.
- Put your cell phone number on the luggage tag - in big print. Also print your name and cell phone # in huge type (like 72+) on a full-size piece of paper laid across the top of the firearms in the case. If TSA has a problem with the luggage (it breaks open when the Samsonite Gorillas toss it across the tarmac, the lock is broken/cut off, or they need to do a supplemental security check) they are supposed to make a reasonable attempt to find you before they leave it off the airplane - I try to make it as easy as possible for them to make a reasonable attempt.
- Call the airline baggage desk at your destinations to find where they deliver firearms/special baggage. Beeline there after you disembark. Once had my firearms delayed and when they arrived they called and told me they would be held securely at the luggage counter. When I returned to the airport to pick them up, the case was sitting in front of the unmanned counter. I picked them up and walked to my car without anyone stopping me. I called the airline baggage desk a few minutes later, identified myself, and said "Hey, I'm going to be there in a couple minutes to pick up my guns and wanted to make sure someone was there..." Pretty funny to hear him stammer when he realized they were gone.
Done it many times, no biggie - same drill as with one gun. Mine have always been in the same case, FWIW.
My shooting buddy from back east has also traveled here twice with 2 ARs and 2 handguns packed in the same case, also without incident.

Done it before, but prefer to take two bags and divide the guns between them in case one bag is lost. Make sure and get the extra insurance.

Two guns, not a problem. Unloaded of course and in a locked container. Just make sure you declare them before the TSA nazis find them. Ammo has to be in appropriate container-this varies from airport to airport. I've had the least problems by keeping the ammo in original boxes.
For God's sake, don't even think about carrying on nail clippers or more than 3 ounces of after shave.
You could always pack one and carry the other. J/K
I don't ever remember seeing anything that says they have to packed separately, but then again, you're pretty much up to the mercy of the carrier. Don't want to mention it too loudly, but they might make you use 2 bags for the additional baggage fees.

We've carried 4 in a bag, some airlines have limits as to how many you can check. I don't think two would be a problem.
I'm a cowboy action shooter and sometimes travel to away matches by plane. I have carried as many as four in one pelican case without a problem.. Due to additional matches this time I will be carrying 6(3 long and 3 handguns). I ship my ammo to the match site. I have never had a problem and don't anticipate any this time. Southwest Airlines has always been "gun friendly".
When I've flown with two...no different than one...happy trails to you.

I've flown with two handguns in a hard case before. I was always pleased with my treatment by any of several carriers when I brought along a handgun. I used to do so fairly frequently but it's been a few years now since I had opportunity as the more recent flights have either been to California or the UK.

Warren Buffett Converts Crisis-Era Warrants for 2.8% of Goldman Sachs
Posted by: Holly LaFon (IP Logged)
Date: October 9, 2013 12:19PM
Warren Buffett's long-term horizon has enabled him to continue to benefit from deals made five years ago during the financial crisis. GuruFocus Real Time Picks shows that this week his company, Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A)(BRK.B), became 2.8% owner of Goldman Sachs (GS) by converting warrants he purchased when the investment bank was verging on meltdown in 2008.
At the time, Buffett became savior to a number of faltering institutions by infusing both cash and his impeccable reputation through similar deals such as with Bank of America (BAC), GE (GE) and Dow Chemical (DOWB).
Buffett's cash commitment toward his crisis-era deals totaled $14.5 billion, he said in his 2008 letter. He had to sell stock in his holdings in Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Procter & Gamble (PG) and ConocoPhillips (COP) to generate the capital to make them.
"We very much like these commitments, which carry high current yields that, in themselves, make the investments more than satisfactory. But in each of these three purchases, we also acquired a substantial equity participation as a bonus," Buffett wrote.
In the original Goldman Sachs deal, Buffett invested $5 billion for the bank's preferred stock and received $5 billion in common stock, strike price $115 per share. He had five years to exercise the warrants, which carried a 10% dividend.
Then, in March 2013, the two parties amended the deal from a cash settlement to a net share settlement. In other words, instead of giving Berkshire Hathaway the right to purchase 43,478,260 shares at an exercise price of $115 before Oct. 1, 2013, Goldman would instead give him the number of shares equal to the value to the difference between the average closing price of the 10 trading days leading up to Oct. 1, 2013 and the exercise price multiplied by the 43,478,260 shares the warrants granted.
This stake was smaller than it would have been in the initial deal, but did not require Buffett to spend any money to exercise the warrants. As disclosed on Oct. 8, the stake given in the amended deal totaled about 13.06 million shares, making Berkshire the six-largest external shareholder in the company.
In 2011, Goldman redeemed another 50,000 shares of preferred stock with a 10% cumulative dividend at a price of $110,000 per share that Berkshire purchased concurrently with the warrants. Goldman paid Buffett $1.64 billion in one-time preferred dividends at the time of redemption.
Goldman Sachs shares trade around $154.69 on Wednesday, up approximately 21% since Buffett made the deal with the company on Oct. 1, 2008.

Man Rescues Woman From Fire
Photo courtesy of A. DeMartino/10News.
A man delivering newspapers early Thursday got an Otay Mesa woman out of her mobile home after he noticed it was on fire, authorities said.
The noninjury fire at the Ocean Bluff Mobile Home Park at 3340 Del Sol Blvd. was reported at 4:57 a.m. and knocked down about 20 minutes later, according to a San Diego fire-rescue dispatcher.
The man called 911 to report the fire but spoke only Spanish and was unable to give an exact address, she said. He then went to the front door of the home and knocked until the woman who lives there heard him and was able to get out.
The woman then got on the phone and was able to provide her address so crews could get there to put out the fire, the dispatcher said.
Arson investigators were called to the scene to help determine what caused the blaze.
The Red Cross was called to assist the woman who lived in the mobile home.
At the scene of the fire, media partner 10News cameras captured police officers putting a man in handcuffs.
Neighbors identified the man as someone who had lived in the mobile home, but was kicked out. 10News learned that the man walked up to the woman with papers in hand. Authorities told 10News the man was arrested on suspicion of violating a restraining order obtained by the woman

It's okay guys. No need to respond to the interloper. Tried to book a room for the week and two days guiding and they're booked solid. No Ausauble for me this year.
It's okay guys. No need to respond to the interloper. Tried to book a room for the week and two days guiding and they're booked solid. No Ausauble for me this year.
Try the Woodland motel in Grayling. It's only a short drive from Gates. I don't know who to recommend for other guides but the fly shops in town may be able to help out there. Sorry about no response. I guess we just didn't think you really sounded that serious about making it.
No one is making more water. Use what we have wisely.
Thanx for the response Rainbowchaser. Having a longtime cyber friend in Grayling I'd like to make the trip someday. I also have gone to bamboo rod gatherings around the country in the last few years in my retirement travels. I talked to my friend yesterday and he said the hex hatch makes things kind of crazy in June with everything booked for 30 miles around and most of the fishing at night. He lives right on the river in a fairly small cabin and his daughter is home from school in the summer so no room for us but for general daylight fishing there are other very good times to be there.
I didn't mean to sound to rude and after reading it did come of snotty and I'm not that way at all. Just wanted to find out a few things about the type of group activities you guys participate in and instead seemed to shut the thread down. I wish you guys the best and if you are night fishing the hex be careful out there.
If you like bamboo gatherings google grayrock. It happens about the same time as the fish-in and is a gathering of bamboo enthusiasts. You might be able to attend both.
No one is making more water. Use what we have wisely.
I must have missed your first post (Not a happy camper with the new "Fish-In's Forum!). We are planning a meet and greet cookout that will be announced soon. This is a time for us to do some planning for the week as weather is a big factor in what you can do. Thanks to the Hex Hatch things are rather quiet during the day as a lot of "Hex Addicts" are asleep! Kaboom1 & I will be checking into Gate's Lodge early Sunday afternoon on June 22nd. We will be coming down from the Grayrock gathering in Lovell, MI. The Brown Trout Suite at Gates is sort of a gathering spot during the Fish-In before setting off for a days fishing and there is some fly tying in the evening. I think this year the Lodge is offering box lunches for those headed out to fish the river.
There are few "Scheduled" activities. Meet & Greet, Burger night at "Spikes Keg-O-Nails", Saturday afternoon "Bikini" watch during the Canoe Hatch. However we will make sure that a first timer is never left to his own devise and spends time on the "Holy Waters" with some really good new friends.
I just booked a room for the week at the Woodland Motor Lodge last week. I stayed there during last years MIFI and it was excellent. Rob and Dianne are good people and they have a nice, clean, newly remodeled place. Watch out for the black squirrel! They are very budget friendly and have an even better weekly rate if you are staying 5 nights or more. Guides book up quick. I couldn't get one last year, but a great fella that frequents the woodland was up that week and he put me on some private access on the Mantistee and we did some night fishing for browns.
Separate your observations from your preconceptions. See what is, not what you expect.
I'm sure I've said this in other locations of the FOAL Forum but I'm definitely "in" for the MIFI this June. I'm planning to camp this year and have a tent spot reserved at the Camp Grayling Campground for the week. I'm looking forward to additional information about the schedule of events and various things the group has planned for the week. As a "first timer" I throw myself at the mercy of you veterans who have fished this area before, point me in the right direction and let's go have some fun!
Looking forward to more information and details!

My sincerest congratulations to Chris on this first step in victory. This is a night that should be enjoyed by Chris, his family, and his supporters. I wish I could have been there to celebrate as well!
Tomorrow, work begins on the next step. Those of us who have been following this since the beginning knew this was going to be the outcome, and have been preparing already.

As the results of yesterday's election becomes today's news, be it known that there will be no badgering, gloating or ridiculing of the other candidates' campaigns from the Clinton campaign. These four men felt they had something to offer and exercised their right by offering themselves as candidates. A heartfelt invitation is extended to the supporters of these men to join the crusade to rid TC of the shame, corruption and criminal activity and to help in bringing about pride, honor, dignity and respect to the Sheriff's OFFICE. By helping to do this, you will also be helping to restore the trust and confidence of the citizens of this county.
The choice is now clear as to the candidates. One wishes to return this county to the ways of the "good old days long past" and the other is focused on leading this county into the FUTURE. Chris seeks your advice, assistance and support as this county addresses challenges now facing us and of those quickly coming upon us. Chris Clinton has the ABILITIES TO LEAD us toward a bright and prosperous FUTURE. His opponent wishes to return this county to the past and for many of you now living in TC, you know how it really was in the past. Let each and everyone band together and LOOK TO THE FUTURE. VOTE FOR AND ELECT CHRIS CLINTON --- SHERIFF

A better quote that fits you lifetime is you got egg on your face. Do you wake up scrambled brained thinking about how your candidate got fried? Can I offer just a couple of eggs jokes to make you smile, or "crack up".I can make some good yolks about eggs.
Q. What did one egg candidate say to the other? A.Nothing egg candidates can't talk.
Q. Why did the egg candidate cross the road?
A. Never eggs can't walk.
Q. When did the egg Candidate get elected?
A. Never, he couldn't walk or talk and never showed, kuz he was too yellow.
Remember Lifetime dont get upset, just have fun. I am trying to leave something open so you can put a whooping on me. Give me a minute, no Sorry I dont have a watch or the time. Neither did you candidate. Chris has all the time, talent, energy and experience to bring Towns County out of the past bad History and to a bright Future. He doesnt throw eggs, or negativity. He has great hope and prayers. Please have fun posting and Chris for Sheriff.

I just came back in from a recon trip and as I sat reading these posts, it became quite apparent that there are no more than two ( 2 ) people on all these threads that are trying to convince themselves as well as others, what a fine, wonderful, upstanding, highly religious person the former sheriff is. I received a fax today with info that I would like to pass on to you. You will have to check the validity of this info as I have not had the time to personally check for myself. The info was about the sheriff's office from the 1970's until the present. There was a sheriff who was sent to prison for drug charges and who was his chief deputy? Who was appointed sheriff after the conviction? Who was beat for his actions and conduct while in office? The candidate who beat him just plead guilty to felony charges and is now awaiting his sentencing. Who in their right mind would want to return to the "good ole days when he was sheriff" knowing what really happened during his time in office.
The law-abiding citizens of TC now have the opportunity to elect an HONEST, CHRISTIAN, HUSBAND and FATHER that will restore PRIDE, HONOR, and DIGNITY to the SHERIFF's office. By doing this, the citizens will once again be able to hold their heads high and declare to the world, I AM FROM TOWNS COUNTY and I AM PROUD OF IT. VOTE CHRIS CLINTON -- FOR ALL OUR SAKES.
#16 Nov 8, 2007
You post rumors without having time to check the validity???? I will tell you, This is nothing more than a rumor, or lie being started by a supporter for the other candidate. I LIVED HERE THEN - Yes, a former Sheriff was arrested in the 70's and
NO, Rudy Roach DID NOT WORK FOR TOWNS COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPT WHILE THAT SHERIFF WAS IN OFFICE. He won the following election, and was elected as Sheriff.
To me this says a lot about this supporter for Clinton. He is posting what is nothing more than a lie in order to try to get votes for his candidate. This is not the way we should want a Sheriff to get into office.
Sniper, you should ask your candidate about this, his family lived here and knows who the Sherif was that was sent to prison, and knows who did and did not work for him. If Clinton is the man I think he is, and he is above lies, he will not want you to be spreading lies to get votes.
#17 Nov 8, 2007
He was appointed or did you forget?
#18 Nov 8, 2007
Yes, I did forget, he was appointed as Dover was for Eller this past summer, then he was elected. I was much younger then, and not so interested in politics. However, I do remember who the deputies were when the former Sheriff was arrested and Roach was not working in the county.
#19 Nov 8, 2007
It has come to my attention after reading posts after the vote was tallied that the rr/gh camp have changed tactics. They had no problem before spreading lies and rumors about Clinton on all these forums and started several weeks ago. They had no foundation for the rumors they were spreading ranging from Clinton turning Hiawassee into a sanctuary city (LMAO), calling this Christain man a cult leader while making fun of his Christain beliefs, attacks on his children being homeschooled, attacks on his parents and wife, attacks on his morals and values, and about anything else you can think of or care to read back on. They even began trying to dig up his years in high school. They were quick to defend roach but still have never pointed out which flaws on him are rumors. Please tell me which are rumors on roach...all the wives, all the wrecks, the girlfriend, and the rest. It has become obvious that the rr camp do not like the numbers now. They had no problem attacking anything they could dream up before the vote and now, they want to play nice. I am sure the reason for this has nothing to do with the fact that the gossip they were spreading about Clinton was just that, gossip, and most of the questions and statements I've read on here about roach seem to be true. I guess if you have a closet full of skeletons it is best not to open your door. But did yall forget? Yall opened it weeks ago. CLINTON FOR SHERIFF
#20 Nov 8, 2007
I have told before of much prayer that I have had with the only living God about Towns Co. and the S.O. election. What I did not tell is that I did not pray for a candidate but for the people of Towns Co.. I prayed for the future of T.C. and its residents and visitors. I also advised God that I was leaning towards C.C.{as if God didn't already know) but did not want that considered. What I wanted was as much safety, serenity & peace of mind as the S.O could bring into the community. I have faith in the great works so far and I pray that if C.C. is the right man to bring peace, justice, fairness, experience and the overall respectable performance of the S.O. to T.C., that God will continue to bless him with your vote. Please join me and many many more for that exciting day come Dec. 5 and vote CHRIS CLINTON FOR SHERIFF.

|I'm in the military, so I don't know if my opinion counts, but these guys are both tards and should be denied a chance to be elected/re-elected. Elect someone that is actually going to do away with the Patriot Act and doesn't let their religion influence policy. Also, end the wars and I think the economy has a chance to stabilize till we figure something out. The republican race has been a total joke with the exception of Ron Paul. Running on a religious basis really sickens me. There's a reason there's something called "separation of church and state".
On a slightly related, half-hearted note, I've been chronicling and purchasing essential hip-hop albums I consider to be from the "Golden Ages" (~'88 through '92 and ~'93-'97, an enormous project) and Life After Death was next on my list. Re-hearing some old tracks, I must say, this track should be the mantra of both our presidential candidates, particularly the hook:

Part of this comes in extensive changes to contemporary American culture and values, which people are starting to see as self-destructive and undesirable. People are getting fed up, and the more fed up they get the closer we are to rebooting the computer.

A conservative that I respect greatly is the late Senator Barry Goldwater from the great state of Arizona. He wrote a book that I think you would enjoy called "The Conscience of a Conservative". I found it very informative and based on a lot of good common sense that transcends political partisanship.
Same thing with Reagan. While I have some major issues with some of the things he did, I at least found him to be a rational conservative who would speak out against the out of control influence that this lobbying is having. Reagan also understood that there is a place for taxes and said many of the exact same things as Obama with regard to tax rates.
I object strongly to Romney because of his experience. The things he did at Bain Capital are reprehensible and demonstrate everything I view as being wrong with current manifestation of American Capitalism. Prominent Republicans like Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower, Reagan and "the father of conservatism" Goldwater would utterly reject his actions and ideas as immoral and destructive.
I will disagree with Goldwater being the father of modern conservatism. That should be William F Buckley who created National Review, and who's views, writings and activism shaped Goldwater and Reagan.
I guess they are both co-founders/fathers of the modern conservative movement, with Goldwater being the politician. I know why you liked him. He said it himself, he likes liberals and liberals are needed as a counterweight to balance conservatives. I think we can both agree, if one party were to disappear America would go to hell in a handbasket very quickly.

but on this issue, we are in agreement. That whole Fast and Furious debacle is right up the with Iran Contra in my book!!! My biggest point of anger with Obama has been his stance on this growing police state and abuse of the Constitution. He pledged to do away with the anti Constitutional USA Patriot act that had turned the United States into an Orwellian nightmare. He pledge do stop Extrordinary Renditions of suspects to countries who use torture. He pledged to close Guantanamo. On every single one of these issues he has not only failed to do what he pledged but has actually made them worse. I think you may actually be correct in that this constant shift to the right and selling out of his base is a result of his inability to be a leader.
Still, Romney is a douche bag and what he did at Bain is fucked up. I don't want that kind of "leadership" for the country. Obama is way lesser of the two evils. Romney will be the final death rattle of our democracy! As I said, I am a Socialist but fully supported Ron Paul for the executive branch because I place our Constitution ahead of economics. Without that, we are not America and the rest of this shit does not matter.
I know you're a socialist and understand your position. I am a capitalist but ... I'm not a laissez-faire proponent. I think sometimes the two get lumped together and that's not right. I'm a pragmatic capitalist which means I still think private sector economy is still key, and that govt. should be strong enough to prevent abuse, fraud but not so big it drags the regular economy down. I know you've given examples of some European nations (I think Sweden and France?) of examples of your market based Socialist system but I just disagree. Sweden is tiny so what may work there won't work elsewhere. France, no thanks.
That said if you ask me who I think wins, I think it's Obama unless the economy takes a huge dive. Last two incumbents to lose were Carter and H.W. Bush both due to economic issues in my opinion.
Everything that happens from now until Sept/Oct is worthless. I think that's why McCain lost by such a huge margin. At the end of the day, gay marriage, immigration, etc. don't mean shit. As James Carville said, The Economy Stupid.
If the economy shows signs of growth Obama wins. If it deteriorates quickly Romney should win.

Bob Doll: Cliff Concerns Overdone
Posted by: Dheeraj Grover (IP Logged)
Date: December 18, 2012 10:20AM
Bob Doll, chief equity strategist at Nuveen Investments was on CNBC to discuss his views on the fiscal cliff. He thinks that cliff concerns are overdone in the market. He thinks even if we are not able to reach consensus on the cliff by Dec. 31 nothing much will happen as we go into next year. He also said in all probability the can will be kicked down the road. He also discussed what will be the impact of kicking the can down the road on the economy.

Colorado State at Tulsa | Game 8
Colorado State (2-5) travels to Tulsa, Okla., to challenge the Golden Hurricane (2-5) at the Donald W. Reynolds Center (8,355) Saturday. Tipoff is set for 1:30 p.m. MT.
Five out of the Rams' first seven games this season have been against opponents who've competed in the postseason in 2012. This will be just the second foe Colorado State will face with a below-.500 record this year. The last time was CSU's last win, vs. Seattle at home. The Redhawks were 0-2 when they visited Moby Arena on Nov. 17.
After an 0-5 start to the season, Tulsa is currently riding a two-game win-streak, with victories over Utah Valley (80-53) and Omaha (49-48). The Rams will play in their third double-header this season, as the Tulsa men will play TCU at 11 a.m. MT.
With the return of two-time all-conference selection, Sam Martin, and the reigning Mountain West Sixth Player of the Year, Meghan Heimstra, the Rams will look to improve upon last season's 13-17 record. Sophomore LaDeyah Forte leads Colorado State from the point guard position. She finished second in assist-to-turnover ratio in the MW in her rookie year.
The game will be broadcast live on AM 1410 KIIX. Matt Wozniak, now in his fourth season with the Rams, calls all the action. Live game video will also be available for all home contests via Rams All-Access subscription on CSURams.com, and for the first time, fans will be able to listen to every Rams' game for free on Rams All-Access.
Scouting Report on Tulsa...
- Saturday's game will be the only home contest for the Hurricane in December. Tulsa will then embark on a four-game road trip to finish out the year.
- Senior Taleya Mayberry was named to the Conference USA Women's Basketball Preseason Team this season, after earning a spot on C-USA's first-team all-conference last season.
Similar to the Rams, Tulsa has begun the year with a tough schedule. The Hurricane's first three games were against teams that advanced to the postseason, including two that went to the NCAA tournament (UALR and Arkansas).
- The Rams and Hurricane have played against one common opponent so far this season in Loyola Marymount. Tulsa played them in the Junkanoo Jam tournament in the Bahamas, losing by just one point 75-74 on Nov. 24.
- Tulsa ranks 108th among NCAA Division-I schools in scoring offense with 67.0 points per game.
- Senior Taleya Mayberry averages an amazing 21.3 points per game, ranking seventh in the nation. Mayberry shoots an impressive .872 percentage from the free-throw line, ranking 65th in the nation.
- Second on the list is senior forward Tiffani Couisnard who averages 10.1 rebounds per contest, ranking 37th in the nation, nine blocks and 11.3 points per game. Couisnard ranks 14th in the nation in double-doubles this year with four.
- With six seconds remaining in the game, sophomore Kadan Brady sank a three-pointer to win, 49-48, over Nebraska-Omaha in Nebraska. After letting the gap close during the second half of the game, the Hurricanes were scoreless for 6:45 of the clock, tying 46-all, until Brady's clutch three-point shot. Freshman Kelsee Grovey lead the Hurricanes with 11 points, while senior Taleya Mayberry and sophomore Mariah Turner added 10 points apiece.
- Tulsa was predicted to finish sixth in Conference USA this season, repeating its fate from last year. The Golden Hurricane return seven letterwinners and three starters from the 2011-12 campaign.
Series vs. the Golden Hurricane...
Saturday's meeting between Colorado State and Tulsa will be the sixth game between the two schools. This is Head Coach Ryun Williams first contest vs. the Hurricane.
The Rams are 4-2 vs. Tulsa overall dating back to 1999. They have a 2-0 record in Oklahoma.
Last time vs. Tulsa...
The Colorado State women's basketball team won its first game of the season, 87-68, against the Tulsa Golden Hurricane (0-3, 0-0 Conference USA) at Moby Arena on Nov. 17, 2011.
Senior Kim Mestdagh set her career high in points scoring 35. Mestdagh ranks 12th in the all-time record book at CSU for most points scored in a game. She shot 77.7 percent beyond the arc and 73.3 percent from the floor. Mestdagh also tied for fifth in the CSU record book for scoring the most three-pointers in a game.
The Rams (1-2, 0-0 Mountain West) were 18-21 from the free-throw line, with five players shooting 100.0 percent.
The Rams were leading by only three at break and went on a 16-2 run in the first 5 minutes of the second half. The Rams outscored Tulsa 44-28 in the second half.
Freshman LaDeyah Forte recorded a career-high 10 assists for the night. Heimstra got her third double-double of the season with 12 points and 13 rebounds. Heimstra also tied her career high for blocks with five.

Z3 Leaky Roof
Fastwoman contributed a wonderful posting in this forum on figuring out the cause for her Z3's leaky roof, and providing some great pictures and text of how she fixed the problem. My Z3 also leaks (it has the hardtop on). I thought I might post my experiences so far with trying to fix the leak. Actually two leaks, one on either side near the top of A-pillars.
I took off the hardtop and all gaskets seemed clean, pliable, and in good shape. I poured water into the windshield's gasket's crevice and sure enough, just like Fastwoman said, the water flowed down the crevice, disappeared, and then appeared as a small puddle under the car. Fastwoman said there is a water channel in the A-pillar which is supposed to do this, and it seemed to work fine.
I did find the triangular "plug" Fastwoman talked about, but it didn't seem loose. I pushed it and pulled it a little, but didn't see it separate from its housing. For Fastwoman the "plug" was loose and she added some silicone or glue to reseal it. But in my case I didn't see any water coming out the "plug."
Not knowing what else to do I put the hardtop back on and did a hose test on the car. My driveway is at an angle. I first parked the car with the front higher than the the rear, gave the window area a real good shower from the hose, but didn't see anything dripping.
I next reversed the car, so now the hood was pointing down hill. Sprayed again and now saw water dripping inside. Still, I had to spray a lot water before seeing the dripping.
Next I parked the car across the driveway (perpendicular to the drive way) so it was level (front-to-back) but angled down driver's side-to-passenger side. Then I repeated the hose test and this time water right away started dripping inside.
I put the car back in the garage (which is level). The next morning I dumped 2 cups of water from a Pyrex measure on the windshield area near the A-pillar. No leak. I poured another 2 cups of water. No leak. I filled a 3 quart sauce pan of water and dumped the whole thing. Leak! Dripping inside the car! So right away I opened the car door and it seemed to be leaking from the junction where the windshield's gasket butts up against the hardtop's gasket. This is right where the "plug" is that Fastwoman refers to. I pushed my finger in a bit to push apart these two gaskets but didn't see anything conclusive. Of course by this point the water was no longer dripping.
I suppose the water could have been coming out the "plug" Fastwoman wrote about. I'm not sure what to do next. Maybe tomorrow I'll take the hardtop off again and try to pour and pour water down the windshield and hope to see it come out the "plug."
By the way, it leaks the same way on the other side. I recently bought the Z3 and it came with the hardtop on it. I'm not supposed to raise the soft top until the weather warms, so I don't know yet if it will leak when I put up the soft top.
Opinions sought and appreciated.

The Veterinary Technician program of Iowa Lakes Community College has received a level of "Initial Accreditation" from the American Veterinary Medical Association – Committee on Veterinary Technician Education and Activities (AVMA-CVTEA).
At its May meeting, the CVTEA changed the nomenclature of "Provisional Accreditation" to "Initial Accreditation". The definition and meaning of the accreditation status has not changed.
The Committee believes replacing "Provisional" with the term "Initial" accreditation will more accurately define and convey the accreditation standing and process to stakeholders and the general public. Initial Accreditation is a positive accreditation status and graduates of programs on Initial Accreditation are considered graduates of an AVMA-accredited program.
To reach the accreditation, the program went through a thorough self-evaluation and site visit by a team of experts.
"The visit in March 2013 not only included an inspection of program facilities to ensure compliance with regulations, but there was an evaluation/review of program curricula," said Thomas Brotherton, Executive Dean of the Emmetsburg campus. The next site visit by the AVMA-CVTEA team will be in the spring of 2018.
The facilities had to meet specific climate and animal health regulations for AVMA-CVTEA approval.
"Maintaining the Program's accreditation is important for both the college and the students. It means that the Program meets all the national standards and our graduates are prepared for and can take State and National Boards Exams," said Dr. David Rentschler, DVM, one of the instructors and coordinators for the Program.
The Program has had two groups of students graduate.
"Student job placement has been good. Last year's graduates had success passing state and national exams. This year's graduates are now preparing for the State Exam in June and the National exam in July. We have also had positive response from veterinary clinics that have hired our graduates and from those that have taken our interns. We work hard to prepare our students for the work force" said Dr. Rentschler, DVM.

Q. I'm considering instituting a policy at my company that would permit me to record my employees' phone conversations. Can I record employee phone calls without their consent? —P.C., Michigan
A. Given the legal limitations, I suggest searching for another means to achieve your goals. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 severely limits an employer's right to intercept or monitor employee telephone calls at work.
There are some limited exceptions to the prohibition on recording employees' conversations, including when an employee has consented to the monitoring and where business phone calls are being monitored for a business purpose. Just having a policy that states you are recording conversations doesn't equal employee consent. And if you are monitoring calls under the business-purpose exception, you must stop immediately upon discovering that a call is of a personal nature.
In addition to federal law, many states, such as Michigan and Maryland, have stricter laws requiring that both parties to a conversation give their consent before recording is lawful. Remember the trouble Linda Tripp landed in when she didn't tell Monica Lewinsky that she was recording their conversations?

The Leonard Lopate Show
One Big Table
Former New York Times food columnist Molly O'Neill discusses taking a cross-country road trip to find out what Americans cook at home. Her latest book, One Big Table: 600 Recipes from the Nation's Best Home Cooks, Farmers, Fishermen, Pit-masters, and Chefs, is a celebration of American home cooks and a portrait of what we eat and why. It includes heirloom recipes from communities such as Virginia's Eastern Shore to New Mexico.
