public

Yes, simply because that is the nature of the moment and the age we live in. We cannot turn the clocks back to more 'sensible' times when information was controlled, and only certain people with questionable motives set the public agenda and decide appropriate behaviour for all. We are in new technologically dominating times and we have to get over it. The media revolution we are experiencing, especially with its easy access to instant news, makes concentration on public figures one of the more unpleasant side effects of our new age. But like anything else, media coverage is audience driven. If people did not want to hear a thing about Paris Hilton, if she had no fans or anyone interested in her, she would have faded as a distant memory a long time ago, just like many other famous figures who have long since come and gone.

Keep your sex life out of my life. I don't want it. I am not interested. I don't care if you are bi-sexual,homosexual,asexual,heterosexual,animasexual,anibusexual,gnosexual,or any other form of sexuality you can think up.

Keep it to yourself. Don't try to entertain us at the movies, or the mall, the park, or zoo. Keep it behind close doors with the curtains drawn, because you make me sick. Watching your mouth roll all over someone's face and mouth is revolting. You have no camera angles, make-up & hair people, no lighting pro, no computerized imaging to make you look better than you are. So pleeeease......spare the rest of us.

The Sarbanes Oxley, passed by both Houses in 2002 is bound to have a profound impact on the VC community in the U.S.

Put simply, the act imposes many stringent regulations on companies that wish to file for a public offering(IPO). For VC's this means that far fewer of their portfolio companies will go public, and an acquisition by a bigger company is the most viable 'exit'. These acquisitions typically do not fetch as much as a firm going public, and hence VC's find it harder to earn returns manadated by their LP'S.
