USING EX-CONS TO SCARE MBAs STRAIGHT Business Week, April 24, 2008 By Jane Porter
	By the time he was 40, Walter A. Pavlo Jr. had graduated with a master's degree in business from Mercer University, worked as a manager at MCI, concocted a $6 million money laundering scheme, served a two-year sentence in federal prison, and was divorced, unemployed, and living with his parents. Pavlo, who lined up his first (albeit unpaid) gig before he was released from jail in 2003, is one of the busiest convicted felons on the B-school speaking circuit. He's given 25 lectures since January and expects to keep up that pace through the year. "Here's a real person telling students what happened to his life.

But start us off with what the global compact is all about. TOM DONALDSON: The global compact was introduced by Kofi Annan a number of years ago as an initiative that would pull together major corporations around the world in line with a set of standards having to do with issues such as bribery, the way employees are treated and so on. And at the present time we now have 5 500 major companies that have signed up to the Global Compact.

Short-term Results, Long-term Goals CFO Magazine, April 7, 2008 By Joseph McCafferty
	Corporate managers have long complained about the pressure to focus on the short term, but now, for the first time, critics and business groups are racing to their defense. The Conference Board has also called on companies to abandon quarterly guidance. And in March, the CFA Centre for Financial Market Integrity and the Business Roundtable Institute for Corporate Ethics proposed a standard template for quarterly earnings reports that would, in their view, obviate the need for earnings guidance.
