What would you do?
A business-school simulation designed to teach students about balancing business and ethics produced results that were eye opening — and painful. Idealistic students, who started the game preaching virtue, succumbed to the everyday challenges of making their numbers and whipping the competition. Some students were stunned that, under pressure, they readily chose corner-cutting paths they had vowed never to take.

Personal finance
Ten ways to make your friends wish they knew as much about money as you do: No. 8 — Take advantage of compound interest and start investing early.
Compound interest means earning interest on interest. When you keep earning money on the money you earn good things happen. Pennies become dollars, dollars become thousands of dollars and so on. The "Rule of 72" gives you the math: To determine how long it will take your money to double, divide the interest rate into 72. For example, an account earning 6 percent interest will double in 12 years (72 divided by 6 equals 12). For more valuable tips on personal finance, go to:
