...there is a better way to structure this organization," said Reuss. "For the last three months our results have been on par with the industry.

Creating artificial rogue waves in a laboratory has always been a challenge. But in 2009, scientists from Harvard University and Tulane University examined patterns of microwaves, rather than water waves, to get a better sense of how rogues might arise. They created a metal platform in a lab measuring 26 cm by 36 cm (about 10 in. by 14 in.) and randomly placed 60 small brass cones on the platform to mimic the effect of unexpected ocean eddies in the current. When they beamed microwaves at the platform, the scientists found that "hot spots" - the microwave equivalent of rogue waves...

I met Anna four years ago, when I attempted to prove that fashion publicity had gotten so out of control that even a sound mixer could get a designer to lend her a dress for the Oscars. A $2,650 Escada dress, a $1,195 black Swarovski-crystal purse and a $45,000 Erica Courtney diamond bracelet later, I had proved that I am the gayest investigative journalist in the world.
