Since 2004, we have seen NASCAR steadily do more to attempt to create exciting finishes. First there was the chase, created in an attempt to manufacture an exciting finish to the championship. More recently we have green-white-checkers and late-race cautions which are used in an attempt to create more dramatic race finishes. But are these things actually creating the excitement that was intended? Before going any further, I will admit that I am more of a traditionalist. Seven years after its inception, I strongly dislike the chase. I'm okay with the "lucky dog" rule and perhaps one attempt at a GWC finish, but I do not care for many of the newer rules. However, stating those opinions is not the purpose of this article. Instead, I want to take an intentional, logical look at why I believe NASCAR's attempts to create excitement have actually been counter-productive. I also want to note that I do believe NASCAR readily throws caution flags late in the race to bunch up the field. To clarify, I do not believe the cautions are completely fake or just for entertainment. I am not big on conspiracy theories; most are just plain silly. However, I do believe that they are quick to throw the caution for a minor spin or tiny piece of debris that they may have ignored earlier in the race. NASCAR has completely missed one crucial point as it has made these changes over the last several years. Some drivers are better in the short run, while others come on stronger towards the end of the run. This point can be applied in two different ways. When we have a green-white-checkered finish or an ordinary restart with less than 10 laps to go, it obviously favors cars and drivers who do better on restarts and the short run. Often a GWC finish is only about the restart; the driver who gets the best restart gets out front and usually cannot be caught. That does not produce good racing. In contrast, a race that has a long green-flag run near the end can produce better racing. Typically during a long green-flag run, some drivers will run faster early on while others come on strong late in the run. By the end of the run, those two groups of drivers have often caught one another on the track, and that can create a great battle for the win if it occurs at the end of the race. No, it won't happen all the time, but by throwing cautions and bunching up the field late in the race, NASCAR does not even give this a chance of happening. Similarly, some drivers do better early in the season while others do better as the season wears on. Tony Stewart is known for coming on strong later in the season, as has Jimmie Johnson in recent years. By resetting the standings for the chase, NASCAR does not allow this to happen. The chase format benefits drivers who can have a strong 10-race run but does not allow others the opportunity to catch up. Therefore, NASCAR's own chase format simply ends up stifling the competition. Let's take a look at some statistics to back this up. In the six seasons we've had the chase, here were the final point margins between first and second: 8, 35, 56, 77, 69, and 141. Of special note was the 2007 season which featured a 77-point gap between first and second, but third-place Clint Bowyer was an astounding 346 points behind. Now, let's look at some statistics prior to the inception of the chase. The following figures come from the seasons between 1990 and 2003. Yes, there were some very wide point margins (195, 444, 364, 201, 265, and 349). However, more frequently, the margins were much closer: 26, 10, 80, 34, 37, 14, 38, and 90. Of particular interest is the 90, which was Matt Kenseth's final margin of victory during his championship season. People often point to that season as the reason why the chase was instituted, but the final gap at season's end was actually rather small. Again, it's because it was allowed to play out naturally, and Kenseth's consistency took some hits late in the year. The average gap between first and second place in the six seasons of the chase is 64 points, and 6 of the 14 seasons prior to the inception of the chase featured closer point battles than that. The reason? Different drivers performed better during different parts of the season, and by season's end, they had worked themselves into a tight battle for the championship. There was no need for the points to be reset. Whether on the race track or in the championship standings, NASCAR needs to let battles play out naturally. History shows us that, more often than not, the finishes were still very exciting.

It's been over thirty years since a reactor in the United States melted down. Some believe this indicates that all safety problems have been addressed and no challenges remain. That's not "mission accomplished," it's just plain luck. The Japanese thought the same thing until their luck ran out.

KOLKATA: Commerce secretary Rahul Khullar on Wednesday advised exporters that they should not get perturbed by what is happening in the US and the Eurozone because that is not the end of the world.
"Keep diversifying, look for new markets. Go to Columbia and similar countries. Don't think that the world stops with the US and Europe," he said while speaking at a seminar organized by Federation of Indian Export Organisations ( FIEO).
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) curtailed India's growth forecast and with another crisis looming in the Western markets, the Centre has urged the Indian exporters to diversify into other markets.
"Though the growth may happen in exports, it may not be as high as the predicted 40% or so," he added.
Khullar predicted that in next three to six months there would be fair amount of exchange rate volatility. "Exporters should not get greedy or scared due to volatility in exchange rates. Last time, many exporters who took risks during the crisis got clobbered. So, be cautious," he said.
He said food inflation will come down in another six months, while cost-push inflation will decline by some time next year. "On the other hand, interest rates are at the top of its cycle. Unless something disastrous happens, it should be down within a year," he added.
On changes in Special Economic Zone Act of 2005, which are being done, he said the ministry is set to come up with a set of draft rules within two to three weeks for public discussion. "There needs to be a change in the act, rules and policies followed in SEZs. Moreover, the minimum land requirement will also be relooked as land is a major issue in many states," Khullar said.
While asked about the Bengal government's decision of not taking up any SEZs, he said, "Those states who are not implementing it are going to lose out in the long run. Look at states like Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Kerala and the kind of development happened there due to SEZs."

A man took the bus to work. Since rain was predicted, he went to get the umbrella, but his wife stopped him.
"You have taken every umbrella we have and haven't brought a single one back. I need that umbrella for my running around today. Just hope it doesn't rain before you get to work."
So he caught his bus, and by the time he was approaching his stop, the bottom fell out. It was pouring and he had a two-block walk to his office. Then he noticed a gentle Quaker sitting across from him with an umbrella propped in his seat. Read More»
Several years ago, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution ran a story about Los Angeles juror number 2386. This man had faithfully reported for jury duty, but had been sitting in the courtroom for two days, waiting to be interviewed by lawyers.
Suddenly, he let out a loud yawn.
Superior Court Judge Craig Veals said, "You yawned rather audibly there. As a matter of fact, it was to the point that it was contemptuous."
"I'm sorry, but I'm really bored," the juror replied.
"I'm sorry?" the judge responded, and the juror repeated his statement. Read More»
The other day, I was finishing a very pleasant visit with a couple who had worshipped with us the previous Sunday. They walked me out the door, pulled the door shut, and then realized the door was locked.

I called the office and one of our ministry assistants picked up a phone book, looked in the yellow pages and gave me a number for a locksmith listing in Fayette County. Read More»

Detroit Tigers pitcher Justin Verlander, a right hander, stepped off the pitching rubber as if to attempt a pick-off throw to first, but instead at the last second changed his mind and threw sideways to the plate and right at the batter. It was a weird move and briefly confused the umpires. Read More»
Last Wednesday, the processional carrying the body of fallen soldier Jeremy Faulkner passed our church on the way to the funeral home in McDonough. Faulkner was killed March 29 when his unit came under enemy fire in the Konar Province of Afghanistan.
Faulkner's body was flown to Falcon Field in Peachtree City, arriving around 11 a.m. Then Patriot Guard Riders and law enforcement officials escorted his body through Fayetteville and Lovejoy and into McDonough. Citizens lined the route to wave flags and show respect for this Griffin High School graduate. Read More»

First Baptist Bryan takes very seriously our commitment to ensure the safety and well-being of every child under our care. The Church has developed a policy which specifically defines procedures and requirements for working with children. Click Here to see the new policy.
Some of the ways we do this are:
FBC Kids Ministry desires to effectively teach and share the love of Jesus with each child engaged in our ministry. Unique needs–academic, medical, social or psychological–can better be addressed with communication and the cooperation of parents and staff. For this reason, we request that parents inform the child's teacher or division director to the specific need so that we can better assist your family on your spiritual journey and make coming to church as positive an experience as possible for your child.

I am puzzled, and quite frankly amused, at all the rhetoric being spewed out from the left about who's to blame for the government shutdown.
Honestly, both sides share some of the blame, but the vast majority of the blame belongs to the Democrats. Why? Because they refuse to even talk to Republican leaders. The Republicans tried their best to avoid this shutdown. It was them who tried to pass a bill that would have defunded Obamacare. When that wouldn't work, they tried to delay it; then they tried to take away special exemptions. That didn't work either. They want to fund every part of the government except the atrocious and super-expensive so-called "Affordable Care Act," which is costing us four times the amount we originally thought.
I don't care what the Supreme Court said; Obamacare is unconstitutional. Everyone who knows their history knows that the Supreme Court has made plenty of bad decisions. To name two of them, there's the Dred Scott v. Sanford decision, which declared that slaves were not citizens, then there's the Brown v. Board of Education decision, which declared racial segregation in schools legal. Thankfully, the Court later reversed these bad decisions.
My point is the Democratic Party is to be (mostly) blamed for this shutdown. During the shutdown of 1996, the Grand Canyon and other Parks were not shut down. Why are they doing it now?
I'll tell you why: to inflict as much pain on the American people as possible.

hello....i unintentionally hijacked another thread into an AR cleaning debate, so i thought i'd start my own. last time i started an AR care thread, i am afraid i left more confused than when i started. i got suggestions about cleaning and lube products that ranged from dish soap to hoppe's to vegetable oil i use, and really like WIPEOUT foaming cleaner for barrel cleaning. i am especially interested suggestions for products to soak the parts to make cleaning the bolt, etc much easier. i had a friend who suggested breakfree....but i don't understand the whole "it cleans & lubricates" at the same time thing. any suggestions for a good cleaning and lube product appreciated...i am probably more interested in "off the shelf" vs "home brews" also, please mention any products that are "wrong" or might damage function or finish. thanks for any input. this is a very helpful AR board, and i appreciate all your help.

well, i use breakfree CLP. mostly due to thats what i used in the military and so i just continue to use it. it does the job but i can only assume there may be better options. but for right now i'll keep using it. if you want to soak a few items, i would say the firing pin, retaining pin, and the can pin. would be soakable. i wouldnt want to soak the bolt or BC. but thats just me.
I would read this link. It really covers it all. !!! Best of all it has pictures. Frog Lube is The best or Slip 2000 EWL http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=35490
What clp does is it soaks into and disolves carbon. It grts into the pores of metal and floats carbon up off the metal. It is designed to work with parkerized surfaces the best. Oiling a firearm liberally with clp over the course of days allows it to displace water carbon dirt etc preventing rust from forming under normal storage conditions. You can store a firearm thats been cleaned to whiteglove standard wipe clp on it come back in a few days and run the same glove it will be black with carbon pulled out of the metal displaced by the clp. Sonic cleaners are great for steel parts. I use clp as general carbon cleaner and hoppes for a barrel cleaning as hoppes works great at lead removal. Its also good for cleaning when corrosive ammo is used. I dont use gun oil for lube it evaporites or suffers thermal breakdown under moderate to light use. Frog lube slip 2000 great products but expensive. I get the same lube results from a cheap quart of 30w synthetic motor oil. Motor oil will not break down under the heat a firearm generates in its moving parts. It works and its cheap.

So Are you saying that the 30w motor oil is better to use on your gun than any other reasonably priced gun lube?
I lube my guns with Mobil1 full synthetic 5-30w motor oil.

Josh Hamilton: 'My loyalty is here'
SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Texas outfielder Josh Hamilton said Sunday that he owes the team all of his effort and focus for 2012 and that if he becomes a free agent after this season, the first call he's making is to the Rangers' front office.
"If it does go to free agency, the first place I'm coming is here," Hamilton said. "If I owe anything, it's that. My loyalty is here. This is where I've been. This is where my family's been, so obviously I'd love to stay here more than anywhere else. So first of all, they get a chance to do what they need to do to keep me here."
Hamilton clarified his remarks from Friday, when he said he didn't "owe the Rangers." Hamilton felt it was misconstrued.
More Texas Rangers coverage
For more news, notes and analysis of the Rangers, check out ESPN Dallas' Rangers Report. Blog
"What I owe is 100 percent on the field," Hamilton said. "My employee-employer relationship is to give 100 percent in the clubhouse, to the fans, everything I've done while I've been here. That's what I owe to the Rangers. I've done those things and I'm going to continue to do those things. That's what I mean by it."
His agent and Rangers recently put off talks on a new deal after Hamilton had a relapse with alcohol. The outfielder has been troubled by drugs and alcohol throughout his professional career. Hamilton said he doesn't expect to get into any long-term contract negotiations with the club this spring or during the season, but he didn't close the door to negotiating during the season.
"If it's during the season, I'm not going to know about them because I've asked not to know about them," Hamilton said. "I trust my agent. He's not just my agent, but a close friend and mentor of mine, somebody I go to for advice and I really trust. I leave that up to him. I just say call me when there is something worth talking about."
"I'm just going to leave it up to him. If they approach him and he feels like it is something to go forward with, I'll leave it up to him. It's not going to be something I'm focusing on, concentrating on," he said.
Hamilton will make $13.75 million this season as part of a two-year contract he signed last offseason that finished off his arbitration years. If the club and Hamilton don't reach a long-term agreement before the end of the season, the 30-year-old will become a free agent.
Hamilton was asked about his contract on Friday and said he didn't feel he owed the Rangers.
"The Rangers have done a lot for me, but I've got a question for y'all: Have I done a lot for the Rangers? I think I've given them everything I've had," Hamilton said on Friday. "I don't think anybody can say I haven't. When it comes down to it, people don't understand, fans don't understand, this is a business, this is an entertainment business.
"I love Texas. I love my fans. I love fans of the Rangers. I love the organization. I love my teammates. I love everything about it. But I'm not going to sit here and say that I owe the Rangers. I don't feel like I owe the Rangers."
Hamilton stressed Sunday that he does owe the Rangers all of his effort in making 2012 a successful season. And he vowed to work toward that goal.
He said he's received plenty of support from fans, some of whom told him they were emailing the Rangers to tell the club to re-sign him. But Hamilton also said he knows there are fans who don't think the club should bring him back.
"There's going to be people that don't like what I say if they don't get all the information," Hamilton said. "At the same time, there's going to be a handful of people that don't like it or don't get it, but there's a lot more than that handful that really do get it and support me."
Hamilton said Friday that he is in one-on-one counseling and in counseling with his wife, Katie, as part of his recovery process from a second relapse with alcohol in the past three years. He had the relapse more than three weeks ago at two Dallas-area restaurant/bars and then apologized to fans, teammates and his family the next day. Friday was the first time he answered questions. Hamilton brought his Bible to the news conference and ended up reading five verses during the nearly 37-minute session. He said his faith is instrumental in his recovery.
"Don't get me wrong, this is going to be an ongoing process until the day I die," Hamilton said Friday. "So it's never going to stop. The relationships in my house with my kids, my wife, all those things, have gotten 100 times better just in three weeks. I see where I want to be. I hate that it keeps taking relapses or taking my own power back to seeing where I need to be, but it has."
His teammates have continued to show their support for him.
"Josh is completely open with the situation," Ian Kinsler said Friday. The second baseman was with Hamilton for part of that night of his recent relapse, but Hamilton was clear that he didn't drink in front of Kinsler and then returned to a bar after Kinsler left. "The day and age we're in, it seems like you need to rehash things over and over again. I'm sure it's not fun for him, so we're going to be here to support him as best we can and make it as easy as possible for him."
Hamilton said Friday that he has a good relationship with the club's new staff assistant Shayne Kelley, whose main responsibility will be to support Hamilton, especially when the team is on the road.
"He's been around sports a long time and he loves the Lord just like I do," Hamilton said. "The relationship is there already. We've spent a little time together already. He's there to help me."

Gautam Gambhir, the India opener, expects to recover from the jaundice that forced him to miss the Delhi Test within a week. Gambhir is captain of the defending IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders and he is set to be fit in time to play the first game, which starts on April 3.
"Gautam is suffering from mild jaundice, and the doctor has prescribed rest because he is feeling weak," Gambhir's spokesperson said. "He should bounce back in maximum a week's time. There is no speculation at this stage about IPL." Venky Mysore, CEO of Kolkata Knight Riders said that Gambhir "should be ready to play before the first game". Gambhir also confirmed his availability for the IPL on Twitter.
I AM AVAILABLE FOR THE IPL. Its a mild jaundice, hoping to be good in 4-5 days time.
— Gautam Gambhir(@GautamGambhir) March 20, 2013
Gambhir was axed from the Test squad for the series against Australia but was initially drafted in for the Delhi Test, only to be withdrawn due to his illness. He is among the most expensive players in the IPL, having been bought for $2.4m ahead of the 2011 season.

Domestic orders placed Monday - Friday by 6 p.m. Eastern Time will be packed and shipped the same day, pending verification of billing information and the shipping method selected. International orders and orders containing gift cards, out-of-stock items or refrigerated items will be processed as quickly as possible, but won't necessarily be shipped out the same day.
Excludes all orders placed on major US holidays (Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day and New Year's Day).
The study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, included 144 overweight or obese men and women. To qualify for the study, they had to have stage 1 hypertension, or prehypertension, defined as a systolic blood pressure of 130 to 159 mm Hg or a diastolic blood pressure of 85 to 99 mm Hg. They were randomly assigned to:
The people in the DASH diet groups received instruction and support for eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables and low- or non-fat dairy foods, while limited in fats and sodium. Those in the weight loss group were also instructed in behavioral strategies and ways to think about food to modify eating habits, and participated in supervised 45-minute exercise sessions three times per week.
The results:
"The DASH diet with or without a behavioral weight loss program results in clinically significant reductions in blood pressure. Adding exercise and weight management to the DASH diet also appears to confer even greater reductions in blood pressure as well as additional improvement in... other markers of cardiovascular risk," lead study author James Blumenthal, PhD, professor of medical psychology at Duke University, said in a press release.
So, if you are managing high blood pressure, work with your doctor to create a program that includes these important basic steps:

James L. Brooks lost most people after Spanglish so they probably won't like How Do You Know either, but I appreciate a romantic comedy where people talk about what's actually going on.
It's a good thing True Grit is a good movie, otherwise the critics would have had a field day rhyming with Grit.
This is a site geared toward men, or so I've been told. I guess that brings up the question of what makes a man? If I'm not into cars and…
The interesting visuals are minimal in The Tempest so the film relies mostly on the text. The story of an island hermit's manipulative games with some shipwreck survivors isn't quite as deep as star crossed lovers or political treachery.
One of those movies where you know exactly what you're going to get, but if you're looking for that sort of thing it's exactly what you want.
Sure, all these movies are the same. The kids have to find some magical artifacts so they can stop an evil force from wreaking havoc on the land. What makes Dawn Treader fun are the individual magical encounters. The sum of the parts adds up to more than the whole.
For a story about a crime so full of weird details, there is absolutely nothing interesting about All Good Things. It's just an episode of Unsolved Mysteries only they tricked some really good actors into being in it with the promise of Oscar, but Oscar will not be one of all good things that All Good Things might receive.
They did it. Tron Legacy is everything you want it to be. It out Matrixes The Matrix with its special physics and gravity, and even more poignant metaphysical themes.
The 10 best Korean action movies listed below will have your heart beating and your head spinning. From warriors of the past to modern gangsters, there's something for everyone's taste….
The King's Speech is a British period piece about the monarchy AND a triumph over disability story, so it's a sure thing for the Oscars. This is one you'll actually want to watch anyway and it doesn't even play like Oscar bait.
One of those romantic comedies that opens with pop music. It's retro pop music because the movie is set in the '90s, but it's still one of those movies that has no personality of its own so it tries to bogart a song that conveys personality.
Burlesque has good music and dancing, so that's all it needs. It's no Step Up 3D but they put on a good show.
No matter how hard you've had it during the economic crisis, it's got to make you feel better that Ben Affleck, or at least a character he's portraying, knows what you're going through.
The tough guy movie of the year is here. Faster is all about the characters and attitude, much more so than action. This is how you make a cool movie. It's not just set pieces. It's an overall tone.
The Next Three Days is not the next great prison breakout hit. It's really, really stupid but in the best "so crazy I can't believe it's a movie" way.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Pt. 1 is the worst of all the Harry Potter movies. This is the most bored I've been watching one.
Obviously Unstoppable is Speed on a train, but it's about 15 years too late for that comparison. Maybe now it's more like The Fast and the Furious on a train. It certainly is the fastest, most furious movie of the year.
The secret screening at AFI Film Festival was the long awaited boxing drama The Fighter. Mark Wahlberg waited four years to make this movie and it was a lot for me to take. I mean, I can handle death and despair. That's a good time at the movies. You give me an abusive family and that's just hopeless.
Fair Game seems to take the trappings of the spy movies we love and apply them to the real life situation of Valerie Plame. That doesn't make it feel any less like a standard docudrama though.
Megamind is going to suffer for being the second animated superhero movie. In fact, it follows a long line of Dreamworks being second to Pixar (fish, monsters although they did beat them to insects). I'm not saying it's The Incredibles, but Megamind is the best Dreamworks animated movie and certainly the best animated movie this year.
Due Date is a slow build of a comedy, and it's effective at that. By the time it gets really crazy, you're so waiting for it that it's a cathartic release through the rest of the movie. It also means that the first half could be a bit of a chore if you're not in it for the long haul.
Black Swan is some classic Darren Aronofsky crazy. If you missed the high style of Requiem for a Dream or the abstract interpretive level of The Fountain, they're back. Yet it's also set in a physical world like The Wrestler, so maybe I can work Pi into this comparison somehow too.
Saw 3D is my most not favorite Saw movie. That's the worst I'm ever going to say about a Saw film because I love the franchise. I'm impressed that they've…
Here it is, folks: the arm cutting movie. You've heard about it. It's true. There's a lot to this story, but you know it as the arm cutting movie. Personally, I think they should do a double feature of 27 Dresses and 127 Hours. In either order.
More after the jump…
Hereafter is a Final Destination movie with the air of respectability that Clint Eastwood commands, but absolutely no fun. Clint Eastwood doing Final Destination may sound awesome, but this is…
I loves me some badass, bald Bruce. He's my hero and Red had all the makings of the kind of crazy action movie I like. In some ways it kind of delivered but I'm still disappointed by it. The comedy works and making that the context for the action totally works, but it's more "Moonlighting" than Die Hard.
Frank Moses (Bruce Willis) goes about his daily routines, flirting with Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker) by phone as she handles his pension check. When ski masked guys come to his house, he takes them all out, goes after Sarah and gets the old gang back together. He was a CIA operative with Joe Matheson (Morgan Freeman), Marvin Boggs (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren). Now agent Cooper (Karl Urban) is on their tail.
More after the jump…
There seem to be two schools of thought on Jackass. Of course there's the one that deplores it and condemns it. Then there's the one that exaggerates how much they…
Get Him to the Greek is a half-wadded spitball at the entertainment industry and all things not sacred from Judd Apatow factory of funny. The return of infamous British rock star, Aldous Snow (Russell Brand) of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and newcomer music intern Aaron Green (Jonah Hill) must make it to the famous Greek Theater in 72 Hours or both their careers will be left in the dust. From traveling around London, New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles this odd-ball duo leave a trail of drugs, sex, and rock 'n roll behind them. It's when the comedy stops and things get serious that the movie creaks along its way to an ending that dearly holds onto whatever "Jeffery" vapors it has left.
With that being said, the DVD/ BluRay release gives us another unrated, post-theatrical look at this comedy, which according the filmmaker's commentary is a push to make comedic movies into a new coined term called "Hard Comedy," mixing the laughs with dramatic weight.
Special features breakdown after the jump…
When I read the description of Sound of Noise in the Fantastic Fest brochure, I thought there's no way it could be as awesome as it sounds. It's about musical terrorists, but if it were really that awesome, some Hollywood people would have done it already, right? Well, I discovered at a sold out Fantastic Fest screening that Sound of Noise is one of those rare indie foreign films that is as awesome as it sounds.
**Sort Of Spoiler Alert**
Mark Romanek's cloning drama turned out to be secret screening #2 at Fantastic Fest. Never Let Me Go is about a school for kids who find out they're being bred solely to donate organs, and they'll probably die after three or four donations. There was an action movie version of this a few years ago, but it wasn't very good and didn't do very well so Romanek's version may as well be original.

Implementing Successful E-Commerce Initiatives By Marc J. Epstein Thanks to the dot-com balloon experience, companies going online for the first time are better prepared. Businesses that want to be successful in e-commerce, however, must show strength in four areas: leadership, strategy, structure, and systems. The environment and the metrics are different, as described here, but basic business principles still apply.
Preventing Computer Fraud By Greg Hanna Small companies are subject to several attacks by computer hackers every day, and giant corporations are under attack virtually every minute. The vast majority of these are virus attacks, most of which are repelled. But the real threats come from within: It is estimated that 75% of computer crimes are committed by insiders.
The Tone at the Top and Ethical Conduct Connection By Barbara Lamberton; Paul H. Mihalek, CPA; and Carl S. Smith, CMA, CFM, CPA Management accountants say the two most important factors that make them act in an ethical manner when pressured to act otherwise are a professional code of ethics and an individual sense of ethics. This survey of IMA members shows that corporations whose top managers value ethics are somewhat more likely to have their own internal audit department and a written code of ethics and are less likely to pressure accountants to alter the numbers.
Self-Interest vs. Concern for Others By Michael K. Shaub, Frank Collins, Oscar Holzmann, and Suzanne H. Lowensohn What factors lead management accountants to cut ethical corners? A survey of IMA members indicates that "motivated self-interest" is a major factor behind unethical actions while "concern for others" is a strong element underpinning ethical behavior. The good news: Survey results indicate that IMA members are unlikely to endorse the sort of unethical behavior patterns that led to the fall of Enron and WorldCom.
Health and Productivity Programs: The Business Case By Richard E. Johnson A comprehensive program designed to improve the health and productivity of your workforce can substantially reduce health and absentee employee costs. This HR consultant describes how a major company with 60,000 employees reduces its health costs by taking advantage of new approaches to integrating disparate programs and employing a uniform method to calculate costs, savings targets, investment, and net return on investment.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"The cards are perfect. I added text on the bottom with small font and am pleased that it's very legible and looks great. Glad the color of the card is exactly how it looks online"
"I was looking for a very modern, classy invitation. I stumbled upon this suite and it worked out great! The foil is pretty, the card stock is perfect. I wanted to make the back plain black and they were able to do it. Very accommodating and checks everything before it is printed."
"I changed the color and the saying after already submitting it. The review team changed the card to exactly what I wanted in one day and then mailed it out two days later. Excellent people every time I called. Really like wedding paper divas."
"Loved this invite! I'm so excited to send them out to our guests!! We decided to go with the flowers in blue; we changed the layout of the font to a more traditional style with all the text centred on the card. We also had the back of the card changed to a solid blue colour. The quality of the paper is excellent! And the invitations arrived a week before schedule! I'm so impressed! My only wish is for a wedding paper divas location in Canada!"
"I was very happy with this product. I chose the blaze color option since we are having a colorful spring wedding - our colors are raspberry, coral and yellow. I added one of our engagement photos to the back and it turned out beautifully. I had it printed on the shimmery paper option which I highly recommend as it makes the light gray background very silvery. I also paid to have the gold mounting cards sent with the invites but when I saw how nice the engagement photo on the back of the invite looked on the shimmery paper, I decided not to glue them together. Instead I bought some transparent gold paper from a craft store and used the gold mounting paper as a backing to make an inner envelope. I wrapped the inner envelope with a raspberry-colored satin ribbon (also purchased from a craft store since they had lots of color options) and the invites look out of this world amazing. It took a lot of time but it's a pleasure to see how pretty they are. I can't wait to get them in the mail!"

my truck (08, 4cyl, 5spd, base model, completely stock) has been throwing these codes. '
2441-air switching valve stuck closed
2445-air pump stuck off
they are both related to some pump that injects air into the exhaust when the engine is cold to lessen emissions--completely unnecessary for truck operation and has no effect on driveability. But....i need the truck to pass inspection and it will not b/c the light is on.
anyhow; does one of those issues "make" the other issue appear-- such as the "the switching valve stuck closed forces the pump to be off"?
all hoses/wires are hooked up, both issues appeared at the same time. the pump costs over $900, and the valve costs $300ish. i hate to "throw parts' at the problem, but i am not familiar with this system.
anyone have any insight?
