Worried about the happy ever after

I wonder who lives at this house?

I wonder when she was promoted?

I wonder if this conflict was reported to Pearson?

I wonder if this is ethical if you are in a position to promote someone;

Oh she was married with two sons at home.

Hmmm....

Ray Lambert was divorced a year before.  Marie started to meet with her attorney about the same time.

I wonder how his ex and 7 children would feel about dishonor and cheating?

I hope they have cold AC and are enjoying the cultivated stone.

1.  We would like the manufacturer's specifications for the installation of the cultivated stone on the home at 4250 Glenstream and a more complete response to the moisture entrapment issue.

2.  The tree in the backyard would not endanger the house but it could injure occupants of the backyard

3.  I would like to know the credentials of the people working on the HVAC.  Are they licensed heating and colling professionals?

Boycott Pearson Education

Someone should check out the selling price of Connections Academy to Pearson.  Ohio's tax and school funds are making some people rich.

Kind of like Watergate:  Follow the money!




Private equity firm Apollo Management LP is selling Baltimore online schooling company Connections Education LLC to U.K. publishing giant Pearson plc for $400 million, Pearson said Thursday, Sept. 14.
Apollo and Sterling Partners, the target's minority owner, will pocket nearly the entire amount because Connections Education has little debt, a person familiar with the company said.
The two PE firms evidently will turn a profit. In September 2004, according to a financial filing, they paid $12 million to buy the business from Educate Inc., a K-12 education services provider Apollo had purchased for $283 million the previous year.
It isn't known how much additional capital, if any, New York-based Apollo and Baltimore-based Sterling have put into Connections Education since then.
Apollo executives were unavailable for comment. Sterling did not return a message seeking comment.
Connections Education has enjoyed spectacular growth over the past seven years. It posted less than $6 million in revenue the year Apollo and Sterling bought it.
This year, revenues are likely to hit $190 million, Sterling said.
Through its Connections Academy business, the company provides online instruction to more than 40,000 students in grades K-12. It operates "virtual" accredited public school in 21 U.S. states.
"Virtual schooling is an attractive choice for a growing group of American parents, and in the next decade it will take off in other countries," Pearson chief executive Marjorie Scardino said in a statement.
London-based Pearson, a textbook publisher that also owns the Financial Times newspaper and Penguin books, said it expects the acquisition to boost per share earnings after one year.
Pearson's shares closed up 32 pence, or 3%, at 1,100 pence ($17.42) Thursday on the London Stock Exchange.
Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP's Robert Dickey, Danielle Davis and Ji Kim were the buyer's counsel. Pearson has no outside financial adviser.
Apollo and Connections Education were advised by Barclays Capital bankers Pat Ives, Neil Meyer, Adam Nordin and Jason Williams, and by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP attorney John M. Scott.
Connections Education is one of several businesses that were once part of Sylvan Learning Systems, an organization that was the focus of various deals involving private equity shops.
In 2000, Apollo invested $80 million in Sylvan; three years later it traded its stake in Sylvan for a controlling stake in Sylvan's K-12 tutoring operations. That operation was rechristened Educate Inc. In 2006 Apollo sold Educate to Sterling, Citigroup Private Equity and other investors for $518 million.
In 2007, Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. LP and Citigroup Private Equity bought what remained of Sylvan -- its Laureate Education Inc. post-secondary education operation -- for $3.8 billion.

Hi Beverly, We would like to see the home on Five Mile Road as soon as we can find a mutually agreed upon time.  The other homes we did not see yet seem to be further away than we find desirable.  We drove by those homes today and decided the Five Mile Road home is the one we would still like to see.  I appreciate your working with us. Regards, Marie Regards, Marie Hanna

Gallup Poll

According to a recent Gallup poll, cheating on your spouse is the most morally reprehensible thing a person can do. Americans view cheating as being worse than cloning humans, polygamy, suicide, abortion, cloning animals, taking birth control, homosexuality and divorce. 

Trust and Respect take years to earn, but can be lost in a moment.

Do not Lie, Cheat and Steal, nor tolerate those who do

Seems simple

These are the expectations from the West Point Military Academy for its cadets. 

Of course Ray Lambert did not go to the Academy, it is my understanding from Marie that he had a troubled youth,  and was involved in some violence (something about a stabbing) while in high school.  They take the best and the brightest.  He does not qualify.

Nontheless, these seem like pretty basic rules for leaders miliatry or civilian.

Three rules of thumb

1. Does this action attempt to deceive anyone or allow anyone to be deceived?

2. Does this action gain or allow the gain of privilege or advantage to which I or someone else would not otherwise be entitled?

3. Would I be dissatisfied by the outcome if I were on the receiving end of this action?

Lie about intent

Cheat on spouse(s).  Perhaps they broke up two marriages instead of just one.  (Lying and cheating)

House shopping with the boss. (Lying and cheating)

Promotions from the boss (stealing)

Hide expense account money (who approved those expenses? Ray?) (stealing)

Buy presents for Ray Lambert's house (stealing from marital assets)

This private blog is an expression of intolerance for those who do lie, cheat and steal.

Military Honor (or lack thereof Raymond Lambert)

I thought this was interesting:
Adultery Article 134 UCMJ
Elements.
(1) That the accused wrongfully had sexual intercourse with a certain person;
(2) That, at the time, the accused or the other person was married to someone else; and
(3) That, under the circumstances, the conduct of the accused was to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces or was of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces.

Retired members of the uniformed services who are entitled to retirement pay are also subject to the UCMJ, as are retired reservists who are receiving hospital care in the VA system

People tend to think that those in the military, including many from Connections Academy according to Marie, are not as smart as those in the civilian world. In this case, I think they are right.

Peter principle at work. He made it to Jr. Colonel.

I suspect that many in the organization would not be sorry to see him gone.  But what the hell do I know.
