What Top Executives Do
Top executives devise strategies and policies to ensure that an organization meets its goals. They plan, direct, and coordinate operational activities of companies and public or private-sector organizations.
Work Environment
Top executives work in nearly every industry. They work for both large and small organizations, ranging from one-person businesses to firms with thousands of employees. The job can be very stressful, and top executives often work long hours.
How to Become a Top Executive
Although education and training vary widely by position and industry, many top executives have at least a bachelor's degree and a considerable amount of work experience.
In May 2010, the median annual wage of chief executives was $165,080, and the median annual wage of general and operations managers was $94,400.
Job Outlook
Employment of top executives is expected to grow 5 percent from 2010 to 2020, slower than the average for all occupations. Applicants should face very strong competition for jobs.

Famed cyclist Lance Armstrong is facing the loss of seven Tour de France titles and his championship legacy after ending his fight against charges of illegal doping.
Armstrong's move prompted the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency on Friday to slap a lifetime ban on the athlete and strip him of his wins dating to 1998, though there is a question of whether the organization has the authority to take such action.
"If I thought for one moment that by participating in USADA's process I could confront these allegations in a fair setting and -- once and for all -- put these charges to rest, I would jump at the chance," Armstrong said in a statement Thursday.
"I refuse to participate in a process that is so one-sided and unfair."
The World Anti-Doping Agency and the International Cycling Union will review the USADA's findings, with one or both agencies then given the option to appeal the case before Armstrong can be banned or stripped of titles.
Armstrong has vehemently denied U.S. Anti-Doping Agency allegations that he took steroids throughout his career. The agency said it has testimony from former teammates to support the charges, though it has declined to reveal who provided the evidence.
The International Cycling Union, which Armstrong has said should be the arbiter of his case, has previously opposed the USADA actions by claiming it has jurisdiction. That position has been recently backed by USA Cycling, the official cycling organization recognized by the U.S. Olympic Committee.
But the U.S. agency said the anti-doping regulations that Armstrong is being sanctioned for are defined as violations by the cycling union and other agencies, all of which have adopted the World Anti-Doping Code and the WADA's prohibited list.
The International Cycling Union said Friday it will not comment on the case until the USADA issues "a reasoned decision" explaining its stance.
The cycling union has 21 days to file an appeal following a review of the USADA case, and then the World Anti-Doping Agency can file its own appeal, said Terence O'Rorke, a spokesman for the WADA.
The World Anti-Doping Agency's president, John Fahey, said on Australian radio that the allegations against Armstrong have credibility. He said he is disappointed the case would not be tested because of Armstrong's decision not to challenge the charges.
The U.S. agency has charged Armstrong with using, possessing, trafficking and giving to others performance-enhancing drugs, as well as covering up doping violations.
"Nobody wins when an athlete decides to cheat with dangerous performance-enhancing drugs, but clean athletes at every level expect those of us here on their behalf to pursue the truth to ensure the win-at-all-cost culture does not permanently overtake fair, honest competition" said U.S. Anti-Doping Agency CEO Travis Tygart.
"Any time we have overwhelming proof of doping, our mandate is to initiate the case through the process and see it to conclusion, as was done in this case."
Armstrong has been an icon for his feats and celebrity, bringing more status to a sport wildly popular in some nations but lacking big-name recognition, big money and mass appeal in the United States.
He fought back from testicular cancer to win the Tour from 1999 to 2005. He raised millions via his Lance Armstrong Foundation to help cancer victims and survivors, an effort illustrated by trendy yellow "LiveSTRONG" wristbands that helped bring in the money.
The cyclist's one-time high-profile relationship with singer Sheryl Crow also kept him in the public eye.
But Armstrong has been dogged by doping allegations in recent years, with compatriot Floyd Landis -- who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title after failing a drug test -- making a series of claims last year.
Armstrong sued the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency to stop its investigation of him, arguing it did not have the right to prosecute him.
But a federal judge Monday dismissed Armstrong's lawsuit after ruling the court did not have jurisdiction.
After that ruling, Armstrong said "enough is enough" in the face of his battle with the USADA and Tygart, whose investigation he describes as a farce. The U.S. agency is the official anti-doping agency for Olympic, Pan American and Paralympic sports in the United States.
"I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999," Armstrong said. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a two-year federal criminal investigation followed by Travis Tygart's unconstitutional witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today -- finished with this nonsense."
Armstrong said he plans to help people "affected by cancer" and is "looking forward to an end to this pointless distraction."
"Today I turn the page. I will no longer address this issue, regardless of the circumstances," he said "I have a responsibility to all those who have stepped forward to devote their time and energy to the cancer cause. I will not stop fighting for that mission. Going forward, I am going to devote myself to raising my five beautiful (and energetic) kids, fighting cancer, and attempting to be the fittest 40-year old on the planet."
Armstrong came out fighting in May 2011, in the face of fresh allegations made on CBS News' "60 Minutes" show by another American, Tyler Hamilton.

At least three people were killed and 174 injured during clashes in Egypt on Sunday, officials said, exactly one year after the country's first democratically elected president came to power.
Protesters took the streets, demanding the resignation of President Mohamed Morsy. His supporters also rallied at what were mostly peaceful demonstrations.
However, at least one person was killed in Bani Suef, south of Cairo, when fighting broke out between the two sides, said Health Ministry spokesman Yehya Moussa. Two others were killed in Asuit, he said. All three suffered gunshot wounds.
Many Egyptians worried about tensions leading to a dramatic showdown.
"Egypt is on the brink of a volcano," government-run newspaper Al-Akhbar said.
Anti-Morsy supporters divided
Anti-Morsy protesters have a wide range of views on why Morsy should go and how to eject him from office.
The Tamarod, or "rebel," campaign, a large movement led by opponents of the president, has spent months collecting signatures on a petition calling for Morsy to step down and call new elections. Organizers helped push for Sunday's protest.
But the opposition is made up of various groups and loose coalitions, and not all anti-Morsy protesters agree with the road map the Tamarod campaign is advocating.
Some anti-Morsy protesters are loyal to the ousted government of Hosni Mubarak, while others want the army to intervene and lead a transition similar to the revolt that removed Mubarak from power.
Applause greeted Egyptian military helicopters that flew over Cairo's iconic Tahrir Square midday on Sunday during protests.
Morsy's opponents stood their ground in the square, where protests two years ago helped topple Mubarak's 29-year rule. This time, they're hoping for the same fate for Morsy, as the chant most heard in the crowd was the word "leave."
Ordinary citizens fed up with fuel shortages, power cuts, a collapsing economy and rising crime have also joined the protests.
Morsy supporters rally
Morsy's supporters, however, say the president needs more time to tackle Egypt's problems. Supporters gathered at the presidential palace in Tahrir Square and in Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square in Cairo's eastern suburb of Nasr City on Sunday.
A sit-in that started on Friday continued in Rabaa Al-Adawiya Square, where thousands of supporters gathered in support of Morsy.
Demonstrator Rifaat Ali traveled from Upper Egypt to the capital with a message to Morsy's opponents: "Our patience has run out. Either you back off, or the only thing left to do is attack with one fist."
The tensions weren't limited to Cairo. Protests also erupted Sunday in Suez, Sharqia, El Monofia and Gharbiya, the state-run Ahram news agency said. And in the port city of Alexandria, so many people turned out that traffic virtually came to a standstill.
Fears of more violence
Before the death reported Sunday, clashes had already claimed at least eight lives, including associates of the Muslim Brotherhood whose offices came under attack.
Andrew Pochter, a 21-year-old American in Alexandria to teach children English, was stabbed to death Friday while watching the demonstrations, his family said.
The Kenyon College student wanted to improve his Arabic before returning to the United States.
"He cared profoundly about the Middle East," his family said. Pochter was planning a career in the region in hopes of advancing the peace process.
An Egyptian man died from a gunshot wound to the head, the health ministry said.

This substantial porridge will take the edge off an early winter chill. If using dried beans, substitute with Calypso for a tasty and visually pleasing companion to the lacinato kale.
Arepas, or corn cakes, are popular in South American countries like Venezuela and Colombia where they are typically served warm with meats and stews. They're a perfect accompaniment to chili. This updated version gains extra flavor from cumin and vegetable broth...
Serve this pineapple, orange, kiwi and berry mix for breakfast, dessert or a snack. It makes for a great lunch or brunch side dish, too.
Enjoy this simple vegetarian version of classic Spanish paella. We added lima beans and peas for extra flavor and protein. Topping with grilled tempeh would provide an even bigger protein boost. Rice in paella should be al dente, so take care not to add too much...
As an alternative, make this traditional cornbread stuffing with gluten-free or dairy-free cornbread and use gluten-free chicken broth.

Nike ends contract with Brewers' Ryan Braun
Outfielder suspended without pay for violating league's drug policy
The shoe company Nike has terminated its contract with Milwaukee Brewers outfielder Ryan Braun, the company said Friday, nearly two weeks after the five-time All Star was suspended for violating Major League Baseball's drug policy.
Nike did not provide a statement explaining its decision to drop Braun, the 2011 National League MVP.
Still, the decision isn't altogether surprising given Commissioner Bud Selig's announcement on July 22 that it was suspending Braun without pay for 65 days -- which worked out to the rest of the 2013 season.
The 29-year-old apologized and admitted wrongdoing in a statement, though neither he nor Selig went into specifics.
"I am not perfect," Braun said. "I realize now that I have made some mistakes. I am willing to accept the consequences of those actions.
He'd faced a 50-game suspension last fall after a drug test showed high levels of testosterone in his body. But that suspension was overturned after Braun successfully challenged the testing process.
The latest suspension has already hurt Braun's image, and his wallet. Before Nike took action, Kwik Trip severed ties with the 2007 rookie of the year, according to the convenience store chain spokesman John McHugh.

Yoshimoto, Banana
Banana Yoshimoto 1964–
(Pseudonym of Mahoko Yoshimoto) Japanese novelist, short story writer, and essayist.
The following entry provides criticism on Yoshimoto's works that have been translated into English as of 1994.
Yoshimoto is best known to English-language readers for fiction that features young, offbeat Japanese characters and concerns such sensationalistic topics as incest, suicide, transsexuality, and mysticism. Despite earning a reputation for a hip sensibility, her works are pervaded by traditional themes of loss, love, friendship, and isolation.
Biographical Information
Born in 1964, Yoshimoto is the daughter of renowned philosopher and literary critic Ryumei Yoshimoto. A resident of Tokyo, she attended Nihon University and has won numerous literary prizes. In addition to her works of fiction, Yoshimoto has also published essay collections in her homeland.
Major Works
NP (1991; NP) and the novella and short story that comprise Kitchin (1988; Kitchen) focus on young Japanese women. In the novella Kitchen a young woman named Mikage moves in with her friend Yuichi and his transsexual father after her grandmother dies. Mikage, for whom kitchens, food, and cooking have cathartic properties, studies the culinary arts, eventually using them to help Yuichi cope with his father's unexpected death. In the short story "Moonlight Shadow" the protagonist's boyfriend dies in a car accident on a bridge. Obsessed with his death, she returns daily to the site until a mysterious woman conjures a vision of her lost lover. NP revolves around a woman, Kazami, who befriends a brother, sister, and step-sister whose father, a well-known author, mysteriously committed suicide after publishing a collection of short stories entitled NP. Employing a metafictional approach, Yoshimoto creates an intricate web of interpersonal relationships and coincidences as Kazami's life begins to parallel that of the author and several of his characters. The plot is further complicated by many twists, including affairs involving the step-sister and her half-brother, her father, and Kazami.
Critical Reception
Although Yoshimoto's fiction has been received enthusiastically in Japan, the response among English-speaking critics has been mixed. Detractors have found Kitchen little more than charming, arguing that the dialogue is unrevealing and the protagonists' introspective ruminations about life are insipid and sentimental. Several commentators, however, have expressed appreciation of Yoshimoto's youthful perspective on modern Japanese life, praising her focus on social fragmentation, her blending of Japanese and Western cultures, and her openness to eccentricity. Citing Kitchen's use of fantasy, its lack of conventional parental figures, and its emphasis on androgyny and idealized love uncomplicated by sexual encounters, Deborah Garrison has observed: "Yoshimoto's attraction to weirdness and her unpretentious approach to it—she's not trying to be hip, just faithful to her sense of people as they are—are what might make Western readers want more of her." NP is generally regarded as less successful than Kitchen, with critics mentioning unsympathetic characters and unconvincing treatment of weighty issues as the novel's flaws. Donna Seaman, however, has observed that the events of NP "deepen our wonder at the dangers and idiosyncrasies of love."

[In the following excerpt, Hornby contends that Yoshimoto blends prosaic and extraordinary elements in Kitchen, yet the desired effect of this fusion is unapparent in translation.]
Kitchen comes to us almost bent double with the weight of its success in its native country. Banana Yoshimoto's slim volume, which consists of the title novella and "Moonlight Shadow," a matching short story, has sold "millions" of copies in Japan, and won two prestigious literary prizes. Works like this always appear strangely attractive in translation, promising as they do the contradictory virtues of accessibility and exoticism.
The book is certainly exotic. Indeed, anyone who has been deterred by the self-conscious eccentricity of some recent Japanese writing (particularly the work of Haruki Murakami) might find themselves dispirited by the novella's dramatis personae alone: one of the central characters, Yuichi, lives with a mother who was formerly his father.
Yoshimoto's writing is much more understated than this isolated example of narrative flamboyance suggests. Her stories possess a clarity and simplicity that can seem lightweight. The reliance on mood and a kind of ingenuous directness means that the author is perilously dependent on her translator. "The endless sea...

In an interview, the architect Arata Isozaki once remarked that Tokyo's massive sprawl rendered the ideas of "center" and landmarks superfluous. One could easily set down in any of its several urban areas and not know (or care) that, in most major cities, geographical meaning was supposed to radiate from a singular locus. While initially discomfiting, for Isozaki, the effects of such decentralization are strangely appealing, when one gets used to them.
This psychological state of living without defining landmarks, of decentralization and dislocation, is also at the heart of Kitchen, [a novella and a short story] that represent the first English translation of Banana Yoshimoto, a young and extraordinarily popular chronicler of the 20-something crowd in Japan. Like the geography of Tokyo, Yoshimoto's characters exist at random, denied any possibility of order by the death of their loved ones. Alienated and withdrawn, they linger in the wake of these deaths, grappling with the transition from order into emotional chaos.
Kitchen, the better of the two [pieces], concerns a young cooking student, Mikage,...

[Grimson is an American novelist and short story writer. In the following review, he perceives a youthful, innocent quality and an emphasis on family life as both the strengths and weaknesses of Kitchen.]
I had been really looking forward to reading Banana Yoshimoto. I've long been a fan of Japanese fiction, from the emotionally cryptic but cumulatively powerful work of Nobel Prize-winning Yasunari-Kawabata to the "most Western," sex-and-violence-obsessed Yukio Mishima, plus Tanizaki, Kobo Abe, Yoshiyuki—almost everything translated has been worth reading, with many surprises to be savored along the way.
Banana Yoshimoto has been mentioned along with Haruki Murakami (author of Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World and A Wild Sheep Chase) as part of a new generation of Japanese novelists, and Murakami is amazing, just what the art calls for, so I presumed Kitchen, Yoshimoto's first book to be translated would be, well—important.
Instead, Kitchen is light as an invisible pancake, charming and forgettable, showing every sign of having been written when the author was only 23. It starts out engagingly enough, the young female narrator telling of her love for kitchens: "White tile catching the light (ting! ting!)."

[In the following review, Garrison perceives the novella Kitchen as a quirky and oddly upbeat examination of a young person's emotional trials.]
Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen is a tangy, imperfect little snack. The book, though it appears to be a short novel, is really a pair of stories—the first, called Kitchen, is just long enough, at a hundred and three pages, to be classed as a novella. A literary prize-winner and long-running best-seller in Japan a few years ago, it arrives here translated, somewhat doggedly, by Megan Backus and attended by a small but irresistible fanfare of cuteness. There's a photograph on the mint-and-dark-peach jacket of a bright-eyed Japanese girl in a white eyelet dress, her hair stylishly longer on one side than the other—someone it might be fun to know. She's not Banana, but the packaging doesn't entirely lie. The author was only twenty-four when Kitchen was first published, and reading it, along with its less ambitious companion, "Moonlight Shadow," gives you the sense that you're meeting a real young woman, who is, among other things, cute. Both stories are told by a naïve, occasionally goofy first-person narrator, whose bursts of energetic resolve are as girlish as her cries of passionate despair.
What makes this girlishness...

[An English novelist, biographer, and critic, Fitzgerald is the author of several novels, including The Golden Child (1977), Offshore (1979), and Innocence (1986). She is known for combining a humanistic approach and a compressed, witty narrative style in her fiction to reveal the strength and nobility of her characters as they cope with life in contemporary society. In the following review, she contends that the pieces included in Kitchen emphasize the theme of coping with loss.]
Banana Yoshimoto contributes a respectful preface to her book [Kitchen], dedicating it to her publisher, and thanking the manager of the restaurant where she supported herself while she was writing it and the professors who voted her a prize—'it made me so very happy.' This dutifulness sounds traditional. Traditional, too, when you get to the novellas themselves, are the violent emotions restrained within cramped but manageable limits and the compelling need for analogy between the human predicament and the natural world. 'I understood it from the colour of the sky, the shape of the moon, the blackness of the night sky under which we passed.' 'The sky outside was a dull gray. Waves of clouds were being pushed around by the wind with amazing force. In this world there is no place for sadness.' 'The scratching...

[Buruma is a Dutch-born critic who has written several nonfiction works on Asian culture. In the following excerpt, he claims that Kitchen draws upon aspects of traditional Japanese literature and current popular tastes.]
Japan can easily give the impression of a country of fag hags. Comic books for young girls feature beautiful youths falling in love with aristocratic men, or androgynous rock stars. Japanese girls like David Bowie at his most camp. The film of E. M. Forster's Maurice played to full houses, mostly of young girls. Luchino Visconti was a teen-age idol, as was his star, Helmut Berger. The most popular theater company for young girls is the all female Takarazuka, based in a dreamlike little spa near Osaka, with pink bridges and pink houses, and a large pink theater. One of the most popular Takarazuka roles—apart from Rhett Butler and Lieutenant Pinkerton—is that of a young woman at the court of Louis XVI, who grows up as a boy named Oscar. As a dashing military officer, Oscar falls in love with a Swedish aristocrat, who is already in love with Marie-Antoinette. But Oscar in turn is adored by her/his groom, who is unaware of his master's female identity. The play is entitled Rose of Versailles.
All this would be camp, if it were knowing. But it...

[In the following review, the critic describes NP as "ultimately unsatisfying."]
Japanese novelist Yoshimoto follows her well-received Kitchen with [NP,] an off-beat, intriguing, but ultimately unsatisfying tale about incest, suicide and broken relationships. NP (after an old, sad song titled "North Point") is the name of a short-story collection published in America by celebrated émigré writer Sarao Takase. The book seems, as one character says, to be cursed: Takase committed suicide, as did three would-be Japanese translators. Four years after the death of her boyfriend, who was the last of these translators, narrator Kazami Kano becomes involved with Takase's children, the twins Saki and Otohiko, and Otohiko's girlfriend, the willowy, messed up Sui Minowa. All three of them are obsessed with NP and particularly one story about a man's affair with a young girl whom he later discovers is his daughter—a thinly veiled description of Takase's affair with Minowa. With the ghostly figure of Takase, the four young people make for a messy stew of incest, lust and obsession that is eventually brought to a head by Minowa's shattering discovery that she is pregnant by Otohiko. Yoshimoto weaves some lyrical writing and philosophical intimations of the hand of fate into her...

[In the following review, Seaman provides a positive assessment of NP.]
Kitchen was a surprise hit last year for young Tokyo author Yoshimoto, so expectations will be high for this taut little melodrama. Yoshimoto has a distinctively pop, bemused, and telegraphic writing style. Her new novel's enigmatic title, NP, stands for "North Point," a sad old song that was a favorite of a writer named Sarao Takase, who used it as the title of a collection of 97 stories. After his suicide, a 98th story surfaces and becomes, or at least is rumored to be, the catalyst for two more suicides. Those deaths, and the 98th story's incestuous theme, set the fateful tone for several tense little romances. The narrator, a pretty young woman named Kazami, is amusing, sensitive, and high-strung. She becomes fascinated with Sarao Takase's children: the twins, Saki and Otohiko, and Sui, their half sister and, problematically, Otohiko's lover. Kazami finds herself attracted both to Sui, which surprises her, since she has never been in love with a woman before, and to Otohiko. Moments of telepathy and extravagant behavior lend a kooky air of mysticism and spontaneity to the proceedings and deepen our wonder at the dangers and idiosyncrasies of love. Yoshimoto's fans won't be disappointed.

[In the following review. Galef argues that NP suffers from superficiality and poor writing.]
Like comic books for businessmen and green-tea ice cream, Banana Yoshimoto is a Japanese phenomenon that Americans may find difficult to understand. Though her previous novel, Kitchen, got mixed reviews in the United States, it was a best seller in Tokyo, and she is particularly attractive to the teen-age and young-adult set. Her protagonists tend to be young women adrift, sliding away from family into sensuous romance. The loosely constructed episodes are meant to evoke a mood of what the Japanese call "aware," a contemplative sadness akin to the original meaning of melancholy. In between are pregnant conversations, strange coincidences, erotic interludes and lyrical passages on the weather.
N.P., described as a novel, is actually a series of stories. A Japanese writer named Sarao Takase has completed a collection of 97 stories, also called N.P., before committing suicide. But a 98th story is discovered after his death, and whoever translates it seems as doomed as Takase. The protagonist and narrator, a young woman named Kazami Kano, had a boyfriend, Shoji, who died in the attempt.
Drawn into Takase's world, Kazami is haunted by Takase's twin children, Otohiko and Saki....

[In the following review, Cohen offers praise for NP.]
When Banana Yoshimoto's novella Kitchen arrived on the American literary scene last year, many readers discovered a new soul mate. First published in Japan in 1987, it was praised for its artful simplicity and whimsical style; Yoshimoto proved to be a master storyteller with a lot of heart. And with the publication of her new book, NP, she has ventured out of the familiar confines of the kitchen and into a more restless, but no less magical, world.
Set in Japan, NP takes its title from a collection of 97 stories penned—in English—by a celebrated Japanese writer living in Boston. When a 98th story surfaces after the author's death, so does a distressing pattern: Anyone who tries to translate it into Japanese dies inexplicably. Kazami Kano, the novel's central character, is one of two people in possession of this cursed chapter (it was left to her when her boyfriend committed suicide while attempting the translation). "When I'm reading it," she confesses, "I always get this feeling of a thick, hot liquid brewing in my heart. A new universe enters my body, and takes on a life of its own within me."
Through the writings Kazami befriends the dead author's two children and his tragic young lover. As their lives become...

Cash or a bond given to the court by a prisoner to secure conditional release from custody. The prisoner promises to return for judicial proceedings at a later time. A failure to return triggers the bond obligation and allows the court to keep any money given as security.
Definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary
The money paid to the court, usually at arraignment or shortly thereafter, to ensure that an arrested person who is released from jail will show up at all required court appearances. The amount of bail is determined by the local bail schedule, which is based on the seriousness of the offense. The judge can increase the bail if the prosecutor convinces him that the defendant is likely to flee (for example, if he has failed to show up in court in the past), or can decrease it if the defense attorney shows that the defendant is unlikely to run (for example, he has strong ties to the community by way of a steady job and a family).

James Zahn of therockfather.com said he generally steers clear of complaints about portrayals of dads, but this was "over the top."
"If Clorox were to assign the same '6 Mistakes' to any other sex, race, or group -- there would be major hell to pay," he wrote.
Chris Routly at daddydoctrines.com envisioned dads saying, "I would complain to Clorox about that thing, but I'm too busy betting on red. The baby loves it when I bet on red!"
It's not the first time an insulting depiction of dads comes from a dad. Last year, Huggies took action after an ad infuriated people. Part of the company's response was a Facebook post from a father, using his first name only, who said he was responsible for the ad.
Clorox did not say who wrote this "6 mistakes" piece, who approved it for the website, or whether officials have any assessment of it now.
In an e-mail exchange, spokeswoman Rita Gorenberg said it was "a piece of web content written by a freelance humor writer who helps us on a number of projects. ... We have enormous respect for parents, moms and dads, as they make their way through the early years of parenting. We're in new territory with today's modern families and changing family roles and we appreciate all feedback to help us get it right."
Chris Routly says this one web page does not reflect Clorox's actions in general.
"I know you know better because I've seen the carefully crafted ads that you've produced that try to recognize dads as user of your products, who might be goofy, but at least aren't idiots," he wrote in an open message to Clorox on his blog. "I've seen you engage with some of the brightest voices in the dad-sphere on campaigns that seek to include dads into the picture in a positive way. I know you know better because you are a company made up of people who are moms and dads that know better what modern families look like."
Some people argue that dads, and people of all groups, need to lighten up about stereotypes in general. "The problem these days is everyone has lost their sense of humor," Christine Lee wrote on Huggies' Facebook page last year.
But others say the stereotypes send bad messages to boys and girls, and contribute to assumptions made in society and the court system that dads aren't as good caregivers as mothers.
As far as angry parents are concerned, this "6 mistakes" post boils down to one big one by Clorox.

This particular design is simple in order, more for the sake of keeping my short attention span on track for long enough to actually get this finished!
Let me know if I've missed some detail and I'll correct it.
For more photos see flickr page
Warning: Even a low power laser can cause permanent eye damage. Always wear safety glasses and never point at people, animals, or police helicopters!
Step 1: Materials and Tools
This guide shows the set-up for slides made from overhead transparencies.
I will use the Dinkle rails and polymorph pellets.
Materials Required:
- Green laser module 10mW+
- 1 solid length of wood (~90cm)
- polymorph pellets (or a willingness to create lens holders from wood, plastic, etc)
- concave and convex lens. You can get these from old disposable cameras which camera shops will throw out by the dozens.
- Hardware for attaching rail to wood (bolts or screws, depending on method).
- Dinkle rails, with 72mm rail modules (x4), and the mounting feet (x8), available from http://www.altronics.com.au/ (note, you may find a better way of mounting the parts, but this one works for me).
- perspex or pcb 72mm with for Dinkle mounts.
- Drill
- Jigsaw or handsaw
- Hole making bits for drill (if using wood to create lens holders)
I will use the Dinkle rails for this instruction simply because they make alignment so much easier. They also allow a great degree of modularity - being able to swap different lasers, lens, etc in and out quickly.

In short, yes a pet laser would work, but it would have a range of probably a few cm in a dark room
get a green one, a blue, and a red one all together and have full color laser projection.
The reason I started to look at these things is a friend of mine just got me into lasers. I have been an electrical engineer for years and a DJ on the side.
One of my aspirations was to build my own projector. Now I do not have the mula for a new 1/4 or even 1/2 watt diode but I was able to get a Reliant 250M.
It was out of an old Mobolaser unit and I finally got it to run after a few days of pulling my hair out and backwards engineering it to trouble shoot it.
Lol it turned out to be an opto blown.
I will have to beam mix using a 250 mw red but I was able to get my greens and blues now at around 250mw.
I also picked up an old pangolin system. Right now it is in pieces but give me time I will have it worked out soon.
One of my questions is before I start buying stuff for my new / old projector is:
Has anyone used the Skyscan?
I heard it has even a faster smaller mini type of scanner block in it.
I found it here: www.minilaserscaner.com
Please let me know if you have used one of these projectors. I may go that way instead.
It looks like aaxa is starting to retail out similar projectors with RGB lasers. Looks like the same general idea, however.
I might buy one after I botch the one i'm trying to make. haha.
so i followed kipkays tutorial on lasers and get a lser out of a DVD drive
but instead of the laser being focused into one beam it acts as a spread beam (like a torch) is this because it doesn't have a lens?
so also is this bad or does it just mean there is no need for the convex lens
you're right about the laser having no lens and not needing one.
but you can consider getting a convex lens and placing this one closer to the laser than the focal length (so if the focal length is 5cm keep the the lens no further then 5 cm, otherwise you're image gets up side down)
cause when you put an convex lens in front of it you can control the beam spread. how closer to focal point how smaller the beam spread is.

DecentPros: Stays in ear during regular running. Sound is standard for ear buds. Cons: The inline controls are clunky and heavy, but I wounldn't stay away just because of that. Other Thoughts: Works as advertised. Good Build quality. I like Sennheiser. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: stylish, can get loud, adjustable cord length, volume control, interchangeable earpieces (rubber "hook" can be removed, which i did), cool carrying case Cons: sound wasnt much better than apple headphones for ipod Did you find this review helpful? |
worste headphones everPros: pretty colors Cons: everything Other Thoughts: worste headphones ever Did you find this review helpful? |
Awesome...butPros: The pros:fits in ear, and the fin makes sure it won't come out of place. It might look a bit uncomfortable by the looks; however, you barely notice its even there. Sound quality is fine, and the clip was nice for when i was lifting weights. Cons: There was only one con; however, this should be the deciding factor. I've gotten these headphones twice, and the exact same thing happened both times. The first time, the headphones worked for 2-3 months, then one ear went out, then the other. I admit I was a little rough with them, and loved them, so decided to by them again. I treated it like it was my baby, made sure that I wouldn't let it snag on anything. However, after around 4 months, one ear suddenly went out, and the next day the other side stopped working. Other Thoughts: Loved the headphones but the longevity was horrid. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Very good Ear BudsPros: Very good sound and the fit snugly in the ears. Cons: DHL shipping. Why did Newegg decide to switch to these people that do nothing but add two days to the delivery time. This is the third item that I have that shipped this way. I hope they change their mind on this shipper before the lose their reputation as a very quick shipper. 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Sweet HeadphonesPros: Great sounding ear buds, the volume control comes in handy. This was my first time purchasing this particular brand earbuds but I am glad that I did. I wasnt sure if spending the money on these would be worth it in the long run but I LOVE THESE THINGS!! Cons: Only Con would be the earbud rubber ends, one is HUGe the rest are so so in size. I ended up going down to the smallest one for the best fit I'd like to see more pieces in the box for those of us with different size ear canals. Did you find this review helpful? |
Stays in earPros: Stays in ears when running Cons: Not long enough Other Thoughts: Normal earbuds have a heck of a time staying in my ear when running, but these do really well. A couple of issues: Did you find this review helpful? |
Great headphonesPros: These are great sounding earbuds. I have no issues with the earbuds at all. I have owned them for about 18 months now and the still work great. The noise isolation is awesome. I have worn them on the inside of a C-17 and listened to music. Shot a .50 machine gun and had still no trouble hearing my music. Also, the fins are great at staying in-ear. Running, and lifting weights I have had no trouble using them. Cons: On the other hand the volume control has broken twice. The first did not last long at all. Then I actually found another one that someone had lost. Same thing happened with it. The female end of the volume control starts to give the headphones an underwater sound when it is even slightly touched. Even with the volume control broken you can just use them with a shorter cord. Even though it is very convenient I would just go with the MX680i Other Thoughts: Great earbuds but the volume control needs to be a lot more durable. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
awesome earbuds!Pros: Got the volume control. The cord is not too easy to rip. Great sound for earbuds! Yea it wont give you a perfect sound so dont compare it to professional equipment. Cons: Rubber pieces on the earbuds tend to fall of quite easy (I wear them at work) Other Thoughts: For the price they are definitely the best headphones I've owned. And I am on my second pair already. Did you find this review helpful? |
Look elswherePros: -volume control Cons: - horrible sound for the price . Other Thoughts: RMA these after comparing to my other ..*philly lips* got a nice pair of clips that fits under the ear..they are canals..the price is 1/2 and the sound is twice as good .bass is perfect mids are there and highs are good alway like this company for good value-quality.they are comfortable no problem wearing while working, riding bike ..but can not comment on jogging.. they would be good for retention and comfort ..heavy moiture and sweat..can not say.. but i for one need decent sound .. or head to the 99c store and wear a headband over your ears and for head.noleakage and good sound and retention ..for 99cents . throw out if no like and try another .. you will be amazed . 0 out of 3 people found this review helpful.

Abstract: C4 savanna grass species, Digitaria eriantha, Eragrostis lehmanniana and Panicum repens, were grown under optimum growth conditions with the aim of characterizing their above- and below-ground biomass allocation and the response of their gas exchange to changes in light intensity, CO2 concentration and leaf-to-air vapour pressure deficit gradient (Dl). Digitaria eriantha showed the largest above- and below-ground biomass, high efficiency in carbon gain under light-limiting conditions, high water use efficiency (WUE) and strong stomatal sensitivity to Dl (P = 0.002; r2 = 0.5). Panicum repens had a high aboveground biomass and attained high light saturated photosynthetic rates (Asat, 47 μmol m−2 s−1), stomatal conductance, (gsat, 0.25 mol m−2 s−1) at relatively high WUE. Eragrostis lehmanniana had almost half the biomass of other species, and had similar Asat and gsat but were attained at lower WUE than the other species. This species also showed the weakest stomatal response to Dl (P = 0.19, r2 = 0. 1). The potential ecological significance of the contrasting patterns of biomass allocation and variations in gas exchange parameters among the species are discussed.
