...while Stewart plans to appeal her conviction and remains free on bail until the appeal is exhausted, the likelihood that she will play only a peripheral role in the company means that it must now figure out how to move forward without its most important product. Stewart owns about 61% of the company's stock, and its business is indelibly marked with her name. While brand experts have criticized the new CEO, Sharon Patrick, for moving too slowly to separate the company from the convicted felon, the seeds of that transformation are already in place...
Coming out of the courthouse last week, Martha Stewart put on a brave face, smiling for the cameras before ducking into her black SUV. But if her appeal process is exhausted, Stewart's new life will be no cakewalk. She will most probably spend her five-month sentence at a minimum-security "prison farm" in Danbury, Conn., just 20 miles from her home in Westport. Like other inmates at the facility, where hotel queen Leona Helmsley served time for tax evasion, Stewart will wear a khaki uniform and black, steel-toed shoes and work 7 1/2 hours...
Every four years, Democrats appeal to us black voters, and our hopes are raised; then they forget us, and we grumble. Another election, and the game begins anew.

Affleck says it's not hard to see why poker has wide appeal. "There's elimination," he says, "there's victory, there's defeat and there are real stakes involving everyday, normal people." And some very smart people as well. "The dotcom generation loves poker. It gives you a sense of control you don't find in other games," says Howard Schwartz...
...base, with the Asian market representing a huge new growth market. That fact, more than any other, explained the decision of Spanish giants Real Madrid to sign Manchester United's English icon, David Beckham. Beckham is a good player, of course, but hardly a great one - his real appeal is as an icon, a handsome, soft-spoken married man (his wife Victoria is better known as Posh Spice) with a global pop-idol appeal, nowhere more so than in Asia. To put it unkindly, while Beckham's contribution to Real Madrid's performances on the field will always be eclipsed...
