Exclusive: John Mayer attends 10 year reunion

I have it on good authority that musical sensation John Mayer attended the Fairfield High School ten year reunion this past Saturday. And that the double doors of the high school were still standing on Monday morning.

"At the same time ..."

The Office of Career Services requires that before any student can sign up for an on campus interview, the student must first go through a mock interview. A mock interview is a dry run of an actual interview conducted by a second year student who interviewed and interned in the same industry. Even though it is not an actual interview, every attempt is made make it look like a real interview as possible. This means we have to pick a company and show up, dressed in business attire, as though we are interviewing for that actual company's internship position.

 

I had my mock interview this afternoon. I did not do spectacular but did not do as poorly as I could have done. My interviewer was impressed with my understanding of the chosen company but felt I did a poor job at explaining how my background has prepared me for a finance position. He pointed out certain areas on my resume that I can use as strong sell points and gave me tips on how my skills in the technology field can translate into a career in finance.

 

The entire interview was videotaped and I am going to have to force myself to watch it sometime. This reminds me of 2000 when Al Gore's campaign advisors obtained a videotape of the Saturday Night Live skit parodying the former Vice President's performance during the first debate and forced him to watch it to make him realize how poorly he did.

 

My interviewer did say something surprising that I am going to have to watch for on the videotape. He said I used the phrase "at the same time" on at least ten different instances during the twenty minute interview. I do use that phrase quite a bit but do I use it too much? I will let you all be the judge of that.

New Yorker Magazine: How Goldman Sachs is carving up its $11 billion money pie

"Last year, the New York State Comptroller's office estimated the average bonus on Wall Street to be a clean $100,600 (or $15.9 billion split among 158,000 employees). Early estimates of the 2005 bonus pool reach as high as $19 billion."

"Just kicking arse and taking names"

I love quoting lines from one of my favorite movies.

 

After spending nearly a week away from Kenan-Flagler, I am finally ready to finish out Mod II.  As of right now, the only things standing between me and the completion of the toughest Mod in the MBA program are one finance case competition sponsored by a bank in Charlotte, a "trading game" sponsored by a New York City investment firm, five final exams, three finance assignments, two operations assignments, one strategery case write up (that I know of), one Habitat for Humanity project, and something personal that I hopefully will get around to doing in the next twenty-three calendar days, God willing.

 

It's good to be back. More importantly, it's good to finally have my mind back in the building! 

Giving thanks

I complain a lot. That should not be news to any of you that have regularly read this blog. But on this Thanksgiving, I am going to force myself to jot down a couple of things I am grateful for. Please keep in mind that while some of these may be trivial to you, they certain are not to me.

 

In no particular order, the following is an incomplete list of things that I thank God for on this Thanksgiving 2005:

 

1. My study group at Kenan-Flagler. I cannot think of a group of students that are more intelligent, thoughtful, supportive, and considerate than the ones that I have been fortunately enough to have been paired with during these past two quarters.
2. Christians at Chapel Hill. Between the people I have met in church, the Kenan-Flagler MBA Christian Fellowship group, and one particular professor I met when Ken Elzinga spoke at InterVarsity in October, I feel I have found a supportive group of Christians I can fellowship with.
3. My downstairs neighbor at Chapel Hill has an unguarded wireless network that I have been using for free since the day I moved in.
4. I feel God working in my life over the past four months. During fall break in October, I mentioned that I was feeling a sense of peace over my situation at Kenan-Flagler, almost as though God was telling me to continue doing what I normally do and He would take care of the rest. In the time since Mod II has begun, He has continued to make me feel more at ease about other aspects of my life. There are some personal issues that I have struggled with for a long while, for so long I am embarrassed to tell you how long. On two separate occasions this month, I felt bothered by something that reminded me of these issues and each time, I felt God telling me to leave things up to Him.
5. My mom has started to read the bible.
6. Even though I am not attending a business school that was my first (or even second) choice, I am certain that attending Kenan-Flagler is a better option for me than spending another year in my previous situation.
7. The Virginia Advocate is back in business at UVA.
8. Even with all the scandals about prisoner abuse, unreliable intelligence, our national government has done a reasonably good job in protecting us from a second terrorist attack and in retaliating against the thugs responsible for 9/11.

Ni hao ma?

There was a story on World News Tonight last night about public school districts in places from Brookline, MA to Portland, OR starting to teach mandarin Chinese to their students. This is largely due to the realization of the importance that China will play in tomorrow's economy.

"The Driscoll teachers like to tell their students that if they learn Chinese, they will be able to communicate with nearly a third of the world's population - the seven percent who speak English, and the 18 percent who speak Mandarin."

Kenan-Flagler offers a one year long foreign language class where students learn business communications skills in either Mandarin Chinese, Portuguese, or Spanish. I had originally signed up for it but over the summer I decided against taking it because of the time commitment involved. I can still take it during my second year and I am going to consider giving it a shot.

Bat out of hell

I am scheduled to fly out of Raleigh/Durham International Airport later this evening, weather permitting. I say that because for the first time in a long while, it's been raining in Chapel Hill and as a result, the time for my flight keeps getting pushed back.

 

A second year told me over the weekend that Mod II is "pretty much over." By that he meant that by now I should have a pretty good grip on the materials covered in my classes. Unfortunately for me this means I am screwed in strategery, marketing, operations, and macroeconomics.

 

I am going to set my sights real low this Mod. As long as I don't get an L (low pass) and hopefully an H (high pass) in finance, I'd be happy.

Advice to the Kenan-Flagler Class of 2007

I came across another blog last week belonging to a current second year in the Kenan-Flagler MBA program. He had written a post at the conclusion of his first year listing all the lessons he had learned during the first four Mods.

 

The post can be found here. But I am going to copy and paste from his blog the nine bullet points of wisdom that he wishes to pass to the Class of 2007:

 

1. Prioritize Prioritize Prioritize. When you are inundated with work and responsibilities in the first semester, remember why you came to b-school and focus on developing that area.

2. Foster a deep relationship with your study group. They are going to carry you on so many things. Treat them with the respect they deserve.

3. Don't be a book worm - get out! Socialize. Connect with as many people as possible. Remember, "A P is a P is a P"

4. Develop your weakness. If you are a quant jock but suck at the "soft skills," do your best to develop those skills.

5. Lead. Give speeches. Take on responsibility. Prior to starting in the fall last year, I joined up with the head of the e-ship club and we put together plans to have a west coast trek to meet VC's and entrepreneurs. I planned the trek and made the connections to the VC's and entrepreneurs. It was an amazing experience that allowed me to foster relationships with my classmates, work with second years, and connect with some great people on the west coast. The people I met on the west coast helped me immensely later with career advice or making connections to other folks.

6. If you are married, dedicate time to your spouse. They are priority #1 - remember that!

7. Be prepared for rejection. I realize that most of you to this point have never faced rejection after an interview or two or three or four. Get ready to be dinged. It happens.

8. Connect with your professors. They will give you very candid feedback on your job search and will potentially offer connections to the appropriate hiring managers.

9. Ask the blindingly obvious questions ... you will benefit and your classmates and professors will love you for it. I have to admit that I wasn't good at this ...

 

On behalf of the Class of 2007, thanks Vince!

Has anyone seen my wife?

I have had several conversations this past week that gave me the impression that there is someone here that I should be on the lookout for. Let me explain.

 

Earlier this week I was at an event talking to an alumni. He mentioned that he met his wife during his two years at Kenan-Flagler. He also said that there were eight couples from his class that met in the MBA program and ended up getting married. One of my classmates then turned to me and asked "have you found your wife yet?"  I had no idea why he chose me to pose that question to and simply answered "I have no idea."

 

This afternoon I was at a tailgate before the Duke game. I was talking to two classmates, both married. One excused himself by saying he had to go talk to his wife. The other then said he had to go find his wife. The first student, who is well aware of my marital status, then asked me if I knew where my wife was.

 

So if anyone here at Kenan-Flagler sees someone that looks like she could be my wife, please tell her that I am looking for her. Thank you.

OOTO

At the company where I used to work, "OOTO" was short for "out of the office."  Whenever a  co-worker went on vacation, he would send out an email with the subject "OOTO until xxxx" to let others know of his impending absence.

 

Ever since Monday when I came back from Omaha, I feel as though my mind has been out of the office. I have work to do and I don't particularly care. All I can think about is leaving town next week for Thanksgiving. It's as though my mind has left the building.

 

This is not a good thing because I still have lots of work to do and lately I have been dropping the ball. I had to hand in a form today to the MBA Office to inform them which section of Management Communications I want for next fall and I almost completely forgot about it. This afternoon, I received an email from the Office of Career Services about a company presentation that took place last night, a presentation that I had signed up for but had decided not to attend because I was working on an assignment due today. The email politely reminded me that I am obligated to attend all the presentations that I have signed up for.

 

Classes didn't end until 5pm today because of my operations professor had scheduled a guest speaker. This was followed by a mock interview workshop presented by an investment banking firm. I then stopped by the firm's happy hour at the Carolina Brewery and came back to the school for yet another presentation by a big name consulting firm. Now that I am finally done with presentations, I would much rather blog and read the New York Times than to do any work.

 

Maybe I will finally get around to do that Warren Buffett write-up that I have been promising you guys.

Morgan Stanley to axe seven percent of managing directors

Circle the anomaly

Which of the following five items do not belong with the other four?

77 degrees        Sandles        Shorts      Short sleve shirt      November 16th

That's right, today is November 16th and I am sitting at the Latane Plaza outside of McColl wearing shorts, short sleeve shirt, and sandles. Today's supposed to hit a high of 77 later.

My operations professor arranged for a tour of the Honda Power Equipment factory in Swepsonville this afternoon. No operations class, a field trip, and summer-like weather in North Carolina, who can ask for anything more.

Sound familiar?

I have been so busy since getting back from Omaha that I have yet to have the chance to do a write-up on the Warren Buffett talk. However, I came across a web page at the Tuck School of Business that includes a good write-up of a trip a group of their students took recently to Omaha. The trip sounded like an exact duplicate of ours with a tour of the Nebraska Furniture Mart, followed by a question and answer session with Buffett, and later lunch at Gorat's.

 

While we are on the topic of reading things on the Internets that sound familiar, there is a blog at Kenan-Flagler called the KFBS Onyen. It is named after the login that every employee and student has here at UNC, pronounced "onion."  The KFBS Onyen comes out quarterly and spoofs individuals, events, and organizations here in the Kenan-Flagler community. The most recent issue had a posting that begins with the following:

 

"There has been a great deal of consternation over the 1st Year that writes a personal blog about his experiences here at Kenan-Flagler. For those of y'all that haven't read it, the 1st Year in question waxes poetic about a rival business school which snubbed him, causing him to seek refuge in Chapel Hill. To make matters worse, let's just say the writer doesn't toe our company line that KFBS is an academic utopia where the administration is strong, the faculty is beautiful and all of the students are above average."

The second richest man in America

Our schedule began this morning when our trolley took us to the Nebraska Furniture Mart. This Berkshire Hathaway owned company has been operated by the same family for over forty years and advertises itself as “America’s largest volume home furnishing store.” In addition to furniture, it sells electronics, record music/movies, and rugs. On any given day it holds tens of millions of dollars of inventory within its walls and tries to attract customers by selling new release movies and music at prices $3 to $5 cheaper than its competitors.

After the furniture store, we went straight to the headquarters of Berkshire Hathaway where Warren Buffett met with us for just under two hours in the top floor of the Kiewit Center. He began by informing us that the format of the meeting was not a talk, but rather a question and answer session where he would answer our questions on anything ranging from investing, politics, to more personal matters.

During the talk, the specifics of which I will blog about in a subsequent post after I have had the chance to go through my notes, a couple of things about the man were evident. First is that he has a sense of humor. He pointed at the Coca Cola products that were laid out in the back of the room and jokingly said that because his company owns 8% of Coca Cola, the profits of one out of every 12 cans of Coke goes directly into his balance sheet. I was amazed at his ability to recall details, names, and dates. But the most striking thing I have noticed is Buffett’s complete lack of pretentiousness. He surprised us by arriving at the meeting room 15 minutes ahead of time and did so by walking up the same narrow flight of stairs onto the 16th floor that many of us did (there was confusion as to which floor we had to go to and a bunch of us got off the elevator on the 15th floor and had to make the walk).

After the talk, we went to lunch at Gorat’s Steakhouse, a place Buffett had mentioned during the talk as an example of "sophisticated dining in Omaha. I remember reading about his favorite steakhouse in a magazine article a few years back. He drove there in his Lincoln Town Car and allowed four students to ride with him. When lunch ended, we went outside and the approximately 80 students (about 30 from Kenan-Flagler and 50 from McCombs School of Business) mobbed him as we fought one another for the chance to have our pictures taken with the Sage of Omaha.

The biggest surprise I had today was running into a familiar face among the students from McCombs. When I had my Kenan-Flagler interview in January, I met another applicant that I had exchanged business cards with. Unfortunately we never corresponded afterwards. He is now a first year at McCombs and I had the chance to talk to him during the tour this morning at the Nebraska Furniture Mart. As I was leaving Gorats, I gave him my business card and asked to keep in touch. I just hope he is better at emailing than I am.

Blogging from the Heartland

Greetings from Omaha, Nebraska where later today around fifty students from the Kenan-Flagler Business School and the McCombs School of Business will meet with legendary investor Warren Buffett. 

 

When I got off the plane 30 minutes ago at Eppley Airfield, the weather was a chilly 35 degrees. This is quite a change compared to the unusually warm weather we’ve been having in North Carolina. For comparison purposes, it was 68 degrees when I arrived at Raleigh Durham International five hours earlier.

 

During the first leg of the flight to Atlanta, I sat next to a graduate of the Kenan-Flagler MAC (masters of accounting) program. He currently works for a computer hardware manufacturer. If you are an MBA student, chances are you are right now using hardware manufactured by his employer. We talked about our experiences with our respective programs and turns out he’s taken some of the classes that I am either currently taking or plan on taking next semester.

 

The rest of the trip was boring but I did get the chance to take a nap on the flight from Atlanta to Omaha. I am going to need it since we have an early start later today.

Dodged the bullet

I blogged earlier about the importance of diversity, diversity in personal finance. More specifically I had warned against the natural inclination to chase after yesterday's returns by investing in assets that seem to be making tons of money for everyone else.

 

Yesterday’s Washington Post had an article about the latest financial bubble that is in the process of leveling off, if not bursting altogether.

 

"With housing supply higher and demand lower, prices have fallen from their summertime peaks -- though prices fluctuate every month and often decline in the fall because summer is the busiest home-buying season. Nevertheless, some slides are evident almost everywhere: In the District, the median price -- the point at which half the houses cost more and half cost less -- was $425,000 in October, down from a high in August of $435,088. In Fairfax County, the peak was in July, when the median price was $503,000; in October, it was $489,450. The peak in Montgomery County was also in July, when prices hit $460,000; the median price in October was $429,000."

 

As much as I love the condo I lived in before I moved to Chapel Hill, I am so glad I got rid of it back in August.

I have died and gone to heaven

But only in a secular sense.

 

Earlier tonight I had the opportunity to do something I never had the chance to do when I was at UVA, something I thought I had forever passed up the opportunity to ever experience.

 

I attended a sorority mixer. Let me pause while that information sinks in.

It was a mixer between Kenan-Flagler and Pi Beta Phi. I showed up near midnight and noticed right away that the guy-girl ratio was quite generous (at least from my perspective). At first, I felt a bit intimidated. I usually have no trouble striking up conversations with girls but not when they are so much younger than me. But after a couple of words of encouragement from my classmates, I walked up two girls and introduced myself. I was pleasantly surprised at how friendly they were. I ended up talking to many more girls than I had expected, I would be in a conversation with a couple of them and another one would walk by and the would introduce us.

 

I guess maybe it is true what they say about Carolina girls.

Lots of pressure

This has been a pretty rough week so far. I have an macroeconomics quiz today, another 15% of my marketing grade will be decided tonight as I prepare the second case write up, an operations assignment due Monday, an application due on Monday for the Global Immersion Elective I am taking next semester (more details on this later), a finance homework due Tuesday and a macroeconomics group project due on Tuesday.

 

On top of all that, I am going to be in Nebraska on Monday to meet none other than the Sage of Omaha himself, Warren Buffett. This is a trip sponsored by the Finance Club. I really don’t have time to go but the way I analyze the situation, if there are investors who pay out of their own pockets to travel to Omaha to hear him speak at the annual shareholders meeting, I should be willing to pay a bit more (cost of travel plus the value of my time) for the opportunity to be meet with him, to ask him questions, and for lunch with him afterwards. I plan on asking him about his views on the efficient market theory, but I have a feeling he is going to say he disagrees with it.

Fulfilling my constitutional obligation

After class this afternoon, I did my part to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. I voted.

 

I blogged about a month ago that I had received my voter registration card in the mail. What I didn’t tell you was that the following Tuesday I went to vote in the local primary and was almost turned away. Because I had registered so recently, my name was not on the official book printed by the Board of Elections. Fortunately, I had my voter registration card with me and was able to cast a provisional ballot.

 

When I went to vote today, my name was on the book and the process was much smoother. But since I have no idea who any of the candidates are, I simply wrote in my name for each position on the ballot.

Wall Street Journal Online Edition is free all this week

I'd like to thank McCoy for posting this on his blog, which I read multiple times a day. Speaking of the Wall Street Journal, I have not seen a copy of the paper on my doorsteps since I have returned from fall break.

Trading in five lane highways for picket fences

One of the things I realized this past weekend when I was in Arlington, Virginia is just how much I hate city traffic. It’s getting harder and harder to go anywhere in the suburban Washington, DC region on the weekends without having your travel delayed by a traffic jam. After church on Sunday, I went to a local shopping center in Bethesda, MD (across the street from McDonald’s on River Road) and there was so much traffic going into the shopping center that the police had to show up to direct traffic.

 

I imagine what’s happening in the suburban Washington, DC area is happening in cities all around the country. On the drive back yesterday evening, I kept thinking why more people don’t try moving out of these cities to more livable areas where they can afford the same lifestyle at much cheaper prices.  

 

Today’s NY Times had an article about exactly this.

"The couple sold a three-bedroom house near Los Angeles for $450,000. They bought a four-bedroom house, with two kitchens and a swimming pool, for $185,000 in Gladstone, Mo., near Kansas City.

With a monthly mortgage payment of only $496, Mr. Osegueda said he hoped he could retire by the time he was 48. In California, he said, "people need to work all their lives to pay off their home.""

AOL Relaunched

I am glad the turnaround of my favorite Internet company has happened just in time for me to have something to talk about during my upcoming job interviews.

"Wasn't it just five minutes ago that, as far as most of the world was concerned, AOL was DOA? Now it is reemerging as a force on the web. More surprising still, it's being courted as an important potential partner for companies that once dismissed the service as Internet for Dummies. Among the suitors: tech titans Google and Microsoft. The incongruity is striking. It's as if Porsche and BMW were suddenly vying for a piece of Buick. But the attractions are considerable: the more than 100 million unique visitors AOL attracts to its network of sites and gaggle of online utilities such as AOL Instant Messenger, MapQuest, and Moviefone. And now there's the free aol.com website, which was quietly launched at the end of September. The site, a portal offering news, search, and listings, is already piquing advertiser interest." - Fortune Magazine article

"We" beat Boston College

Greetings from my favorite state in the Union. I drove up from Chapel Hill this morning to attend a friend's wedding in the City of Alexandria. This was my first visit to Virginia since I started my MBA program. On my way I stopped by a gas station south of Richmond where I paid $2.16 for a gallon of gas.

I got to my destination ahead of time and had the chance to drive around to check out my old stumping grounds. I stopped by a consignment store at the corner of Pershing and Washington in Arlington County that I used to frequent. I used to stop by periodically to look at the collection of political buttons that a local dealer/collector would drop off to sell. I found three very nice buttons that would go well with my collection. As I was paying for them at the counter, the proprietor mentoined that I have not been back in a while. I then told her that I moved back in August and I was back for a wedidng today. She said she was touched that I made the point to stop by.

The wedding was beautiful. I sat at the reception with a group of students that graduated from a school we politely refer to as the Virginia Polytechnic Institute. They were on the phone every five minutes to get the score of the Virignia Tech/ Miami game. We talked about a couple of the ACC football games that have taken place in the past month such as Virginia beating Florida State only to be defeated by Carolina. I then said "and we beat Boston College today."

Pointing out the obvious

My dear and loyal readers have failed me. I blogged multiple times earlier this week that I am donating my services as a designated driver for the MBA Food Fight silent auction. I am sure the irony has dawned on at least couple of you. Come on ... all those times that I drove you guys (former co workers) to lunch and the near misses and close calls we've had. (Wink)

Speaking of driving skills. They will be put to use tomorrow as I take this blog on the road with me to Alexandria, Virginia where I will attend the wedding of a good friend of mine

A few items of interest

The bidding for the auction ends this evening. As of an hour ago, there were no takers (other than my initial bid of $10) for my offer to drive someone to the airport for Thanksgiving break but we've received several bids for my services as a designated driver.

One item that I have been watching closely is the opportunity to have dinner at the Carolina Club with a beloved retired Kenan-Flagler professor. This professor spoke to us back in August during the Monday morning of our orientation and gave us a video "walking tour" of the Carolina campus. I contacted him over the weekend and he agreed to take three students out to dinner and even offered to pay out of his own pocket. His exact words were "I miss being around students." 

I submitted bids for several other items; two apple pies baked by a second year student, a lemon lime pie donated by a classmate and his wife, the opportunity to shoot (ammunition and guns provided) with a classmate who participated in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and a glass gin bottle retrieved from the bottom of a river in Nigeria that is more than a century old. The only auction that I am currently winning is fresh cookies baked and delivered by a classmate and his wife. I don't particularly care for the cookies and plan on saving this (if I win) for a special occasion next semester when someone does me a favor or I am in the mood to brighten a particular person's day.

Turns out the "have your house cleaned by a student dressed in a French maid outfit" was a joke. The student whose name was listed is a male who was volunteered by his friends. He stopped by the table this afternoon to withdraw the item but before doing so he submitted the final bid of $30 to outbid every other bidder. I am glad he was a good sport about it.

The fleecing of Carolina

The folks at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina sent me a nice letter earlier this week informing me that starting January 1, 2006 my health insurance monthly rate will be $104.  Since the letter made no reference of what the current rate is, I had to go look it up to find out that the current rate is $93.

I hear so often companies justifying their rate increases by saying that they are simply passing on the higher cost onto their consumers. It's just too bad there is no one else I can pass along my higher costs to.

Food fight anyone?

Last week’s Apprentice had a competition where the teams competed to raise money for a charity by organizing a charity auction. Students in my class had the chance to do that this week as Kenan-Flagler participates in the annual MBA Food Fight.

 

The MBA Food Fight is an event organized by students at the Ross School of Business where schools compete to raise money to fight hunger. Within Kenan-Flagler, there is an internal competition where each of the eight sections is competing against one another. The fund raising effort at Kenan-Flagler revolves around a silent auction where the members of each section donate items to be auctioned off.

 

In the past, items donated range from tangible items such as artwork to services such as golf lessons or a date with a consenting (and hopefully attractive) student. I helped out by donating my services as a driver. One of my items was to drive the winner to the airport for Thanksgiving and the other was to drive the winner home from the bars on a night of his choosing.

 

The bidding began this week and by Tuesday night I was embarrassed that my items had not attracted any bids. I decided to help get the ball rolling by bidding on my own items. I had previously calculated that volunteering to make the drives was going to cost me a certain amount of time and I was willing to pay an amount up to my value of the time to get out of having to make the trips.

 

In addition to bidding on my own auctions, I also submitted bids on other items donated by others in my section with the intentions of driving up the prices. But for the few special items that I really do have an interest in, I am going to hold off and keep my powder dry until right before the auction ends to submit my bid so I can snatch them up at a good price.

 

PS: I feel legally obligated to tell you that in some states, it is illegal for a seller to participate in his own auction. But let's just say that because the money from this auction goes to charity, I don't expect the North Carolina Attorney General's office to be calling anytime soon.

CBS Evening News with Aaron Brown?

"CNN ousted its longtime prime-time anchor, Aaron Brown, today in favor of Anderson Cooper, who has received extensive media attention in the wake of his widely publicized coverage of Hurricane Katrina."  - New York Times article

I have always liked Newsnight with Aaron Brown and thought Brown is an elegant presenter. But I am going to make a prediction here that he will end up as the next anchorman (or one of many) over at CBS Evening News.

Sexual harassment lawsuit against The University Club of NYC

I was at The University Club two weeks ago at a Kenan-Flagler alumni reception as part of our fall break career trek to New York City. Sunday's New York Post had an article about three female employees suing the club for on-the-job sexual harassment.

"The University Club, a bastion for bluebloods, power studs and A-list celebs, has a "serial sexual molester" on its staff who gropes banquet waitresses during classy parties and ritzy weddings, a lawsuit charges."

Here's a set of login/password to use with the New York Post Online Edition.
