So far, we haven't had any major problems with the applications that are offsite in terms of data security and integrity.

He laughs. 
 
'It’s funny, because he’d already left the party before I arrived… But contrary to opinion, however sated I got, I always looked after myself. I’ve woken up in trees, I’ve woken up almost hanging off cliffs, but I’ve always known how to sort myself out."
 
It's the CBS approach to Charlie Sheen - he's always shown up to work knowing his lines (pun intended), regardless of what he does in his personal time.

 |  You really can't post something like that and not post pictures.  It's just bad form, really.
