Credit Report Fraud Alert

Following in the wake of the Enron Corp. demise and the resulting aggressive federal investigations of corporate malfeasance, "cooperation" is the coin of the realm. What cooperation means in the context of any given investigation is what the federal agency handling the investigation says it means. Over the past few years, federal agencies have issued a series of written statements articulating the importance of cooperation and setting forth their expectations of the steps necessary to obtain "credit" for cooperation in the context of agency enforcement decisions.

Some of those statements -- most notably the now-superseded "Thompson memo" issued by the U.S. Department of Justice in January 2003 -- have fueled controversy, particularly with respect to their treatment of such issues as waiver of the attorney-client privilege and work-product protections.

Baltimore: A landscape of patriotism, boats and baseball

Up until the early 1980s the port of Baltimore, and its Inner Harbor, was like a legion of other commercial maritime ports on the East and West Coast of America. In other words, it was more antiquated and run down than modern and attractive — a place of smoke stacks, decaying buildings and an inhospitable landscape.A massive building boom in the 1980s, and much architectural flair, has transformed a bleak vision of wharves into a center of contemporary entertainment that is now Baltimore’s premier tourist stop. The setting is as if the stage design for a dramatic play featuring modernity and history.All of that notwithstanding, any harbor or water space worth its salt needs to show off an eye-catching ship, and Baltimore’s Inner Harbor is up to the challenge. Moored in an easily accessible central location is the USS Constellation, which was commissioned in 1854, and is the only ship that was a combatant in the Civil War and is still afloat.Its tall masts and spare spars, embedded into a robust hull of green, black and white, with a rakish bowsprit, looks the epitome of a mid-19th-century naval ship of the line.

Cates takes no credit in game-winning run

ASHLAND - In the record and history books, it will forever and always show that sophomore Kaylin Cates of Greenville scored the only run of the 2007 state Division II girls softball championship game.

It would ultimately be the run that would make Greenville high school sports history.

Cates was entered as a courtesy runner in the bottom of the sixth for senior Katie Beanblossom, who had been hit by a pitch, as well as battling a hamstring injury through the team's tournament run.

Cates came on to run at second base, when senior Abbie Shell ripped a double to left, scoring Cates and giving Greenville a 1-0 victory and the first state title in school history.

For Cates, there was no glitz, no glamour.

In fact, Cates takes no credit for the run itself.

Anticipating the Palm “iPhone”

This week there was a big announcement from Palm, one that could dramatically change what you see from that company. The result could have a big impact on Apple and the cell phone industry.

Not only did they get a large influx of private capital, allowing them to significantly enhance their ability to design and build new products, but the former head of Apple’s iPod Division, Jon Rubinstein, who also ran hardware for Apple through some of their best years, will take over as Executive Chairman of Palm’s board. What is unique here is not only will Jon have the very highest position in the company (the CEO effectively reports to him), he will be the head of development. This is very similar to the role Bill Gates had when he was both Chief Architect and chairman of the board for Microsoft. This may also explain why the iPhone is not as good a product, comparatively, as the iPod has been.
