...Besides the usual skinny dipping and boat racing, members of Company 151 can look forward to "Paul Newman Day," when everyone must individually guzzle an entire an entire case of beer before the clock strikes 12. On "Package Night," band members do the full monty with a sympathetically naked tech crew to tote. Happy drinking...
...booming U.S. economy, with unemployment at lows not seen since the late 1960s, it's easy to forget that job hunting is still one of the most important rites of adult life--maybe now more than ever. High-tech whizzes and software wonks may be snapped up barely out of their mother's womb.

The good guys haven't had much luck yet, though not for lack of effort. The FBI has nearly tripled its investigations into corporate espionage in the past year...
...first federal economic-espionage case to go to trial, however, is decidedly low-tech--in essence, it's all about glue. In Youngstown, Ohio, next week, Justice Department attorneys will argue that Pin Yen Yang, president of Taiwan-based Four Pillars Enterprise, and his daughter paid Avery Dennison engineer Ten Hong "Victor" Lee $67,500 over a four-year period to steal the $3 billion-a-year company's formulas for making adhesive labels and tape. Officials say China--already defending against charges of nuclear espionage in the Los Alamos case--and Taiwan are among the most notorious purloiners...
