One of the most frustrating things as a driver is to be told not to lay on the accelerator. Fuel strategy is built on trying to stretch what is in the fuel cell farther than originally planned. It's frustrating when leading because it means that there's a risk of falling into the clutches of those behind him.
On the other hand, it could be beneficial for those trying to chase down the leader because it means they too now have a chance to steal away a victory.
No question, that's how Dover ended up for many at the front.
The favorite, Jimmie Johnson, got the lead late on a restart, but questions as to how close he was on fuel began to come up. Sure enough, the fuel was coming short, and he was forced to conserve. That meant he lost the lead, and eventually would finish fourth.
Kyle Busch, the dominant car all afternoon, was in a worse spot. He was nearly eight laps short, and rather than conserve and try to hope for a caution, he had to pit for a splash-and-go, finishing seventh.
The one car that seemed to save enough fuel to make it to the end was one that was not on the radar all afternoon, until it mattered. Brad Keselowski inherited the lead when Busch and Denny Hamlin had to pit for fuel. He then tried to conserve fuel just enough to make it to the finish. Meanwhile, he also had to hold off a charging Jeff Gordon, who took fuel on a late caution and would make it to the finish and beyond.
Keselowski had enough fuel to make it to the end, and do some very long burnouts to celebrate his fifth win of the season, and also him taking over the points lead.
The win by Keselowski didn't give a writer a victory, however the points did take a shake-up. There's now a tie at the top, with wins being the deciding difference. The top nine are separated by just 19 points, and only 40 separate the entire field. Take a look at how everything now stands after the AAA 400 at the "Monster Mile":
James Broomhead (2129) Jimmie Johnson finished 4th (3)
Dustin Parks (2129) Kyle Busch finished 7th (2)
Rob Tiongson (2128) Jimmie Johnson finished 4th (4)
Sal Sigala Jr. (2128) Jimmie Johnson finished 4th (3)
Kelly Crandall (2127) Jimmie Johnson finished 4th (4)
Ryan O'Hara (2120) Jeff Gordon finished 2nd (2)
Christopher Leone (2117) Tony Stewart finished 20th (3)
Misan Akuya (2114) Jimmie Johnson finished 4th (1)
Billy Fellin (2110) Jimmie Johnson finished 4th (5)
Michael Hirshbein (2099) Jimmie Johnson finished 4th (1)
Kara Martin (2092) Matt Kenseth finished 35th (3)
Patti Rodisch (2089) Matt Kenseth finished 35th (2)
Next Race: Now, the term "wild card" becomes a reality. Fuel mileage may be in the driver's control when they are able to keep their foot off the accelerator. Next weekend, there are so many elements outside of the driver's control, that anything is possible.
For the final time this year, the cooling system will be altered, the grille opening is moved higher, taller shark fins on the trunk and rear window, and a shorter, more curved spoiler will be bolted on. The most important change, restrictor plates are bolted onto the intake.
Dover may be called the "Monster Mile," but next Sunday NASCAR visit's the monster track. The 2.66-mile superspeedway awaits the Chase contenders, and 31 other brave souls. Next weekend, it arrives...Talladega.
Writers, this is a gamble worthy of Vegas. But, have your picks, or in some cases hopes, for victory in the Good Sam Roadside Assistance 500 submitted by Thursday, October 4, at 10 p.m. ET.

I like this thread. I am on track to meet my weight reduction target by the time I ski for the first time this year. I have free slalom skied for years and love it but ever since my neighbor at the lake asked me to try his course last year I got a bug. I know it would be advised to get professional help and I am going to try to get down to Liquid Edge but my international travel schedule is a biatch this year. If you were starting fresh, in great physical shape and wanted to learn how to ski a slalom course for the first time, what would be your course of action? I know for some of you, you are going to have to go back in time. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I am very driven person that takes advice so if it means I do some sort of training drills most of the season well so be it. I want to do this bad!!

My life as a Chaco Ambassador isn't always about just one sport. Sometimes it isn't even about a sport at all, it's about adventure and just plain fun. This past weekend was a great mix of all of the above for me.

Steps For Writing A Wedding Speech
The prime directive when fashioning a wedding day speech is the caveat that you want to personalize this presentation as much as possible. Including a joke or two is fine, but keep to the task of making this speech about a particular bride and groom. Following these simple steps should keep you on task.
Understand these basic and fundamental steps proficiently in your wedding speech.
Remember to thank the parents for the wedding itself. Not only did they grow beautiful children, they have sponsored the day itself, and should be acknowledged fully and properly.
After a serious beginning, many speech givers choose this moment to interject a joke or talk about the circumstances of meeting the bride or groom. It is wise to have given this some thought to ensure you are selecting the very best memory to include in your speech.
Before you start a new topic, you may want to use this transition time for another joke. Perhaps this is the place for a slightly lengthier joke or a personal story about the newlyweds. Again, after finishing the joke, alternate with a more serious statement of why you feel these two are a strong couple, meant for each other. Check to make sure you have included enough personal information about the bride and groom to make it meaningful to them.
You may include jokes and stories in your wedding speech, but always return to personal memories you share with the happy couple.
As you finish your speech, be sure to thank all of those who have made this day possible, from the parents, the bride and groom themselves, and even the professionals responsible. It is polite to acknowledge those who have traveled some distance and made a strong effort to attend. Also try and personally acknowledge a few close family members from both the bride's side and then the groom's side. Again, humor is acceptable here as well, but your final comment should be positive and heartfelt, as you invite everyone to toast the bride and groom.
There are no hardcore guidelines for a wedding speech, and you can feel free to deviate in any way you feel is appropriate for the day. Remembering the most important elements – keeping it personal, thanking the important participants, and expressing hopeful sentiments for the future – you will have composed a speech you will be proud to stand and deliver come the wedding day itself.

With New York Fashion Week in full swing, a girl's mind can't help but turn to the greatest male model of them all.
But just which of the True Blood characters would have been most at home this week, strutting their stuff on the cat-walk and sipping gratuitous amounts of orange mocha frappuccino?
Of course it can only be a man so overwhelmed by the sight of beauty that he couldn't see the vengeful viking warrior king from the walking personification of gorgeous that stood before him.
"Hello, have we met"
"Eric Northman, Sheriff Louisiana Area 5, come to see the king"
"Talbot royal consort, permit me to facilitate"
Poor old Talbot, he was doomed from the start, but I do kind of miss him and his exquisite taste in decor. Anyone else have fond memories of Russell's toy-boy? Did he really deserve to be emptied down the drain in such an unbecoming manner?

Thank you for your interest in the Astronomy graduate program at The University of Texas at Austin, one of the leading academic institutions of astronomy and astrophysics in the United States. The Department of Astronomy and McDonald Observatory have many exciting opportunities for graduate training and research. We welcome your application and further inquiries. You will find application materials and instructions, as well as information concerning our program on our website.
The Department of Astronomy at the University of Texas is one of the largest in the United States, with 20 active teaching faculty, 30 research scientists and research associates, approximately 15 postdoctoral fellows, and about 40 graduate students. The research activities of the faculty and staff span virtually all of modern astronomy. Our faculty have won several of the major prizes of the American Astronomical Society, as well as the 1979 Nobel Prize in Physics and the 1987 Heineman Prize for Astrophysics from the American Institute of Physics and American Astronomical Society, the 2007 Newton Lacy Pierce and 2009 Education Prizes from the American Astronomical Society, and the 2013 Klumpke-Roberts award from the Astronomical Society of the Pacific. Numerous other prizes and fellowships have been awarded to our faculty members, placing us among the top American astronomical institutions. The large number of highly qualified research astronomers means that every student can receive individual attention and work closely with some of the top people in their field of interest. A list of our faculty and research scientists with a brief description of their main research interests can be found on our website as well.
The University of Texas operates McDonald Observatory, located in the Davis Mountains about 450 miles west of Austin. The night sky in this part of the country is unusually dark. At present, the Observatory operates the 9.2m Hobby Eberly Telescope, as well as the 2.7-meter, 2.1-meter, 0.9-meter, and .76-meter reflecting telescopes. The observatory is equipped with a wide range of state-of-the-art instrumentation for optical and infrared imaging and spectroscopy. We also have one of the first and most productive lunar ranging stations. Graduate students are given substantial direct access to all of the telescopes at McDonald Observatory, including the submillimeter telescope, with additional time being granted to their advisors for joint projects. In Austin, graduate students have access to the University's super-computers "Stampede" and "Lonestar", sophisticated visualization hardware, and technical support for software and instrumentation development.
Thank you for considering The University of Texas at Austin Department of Astronomy for your graduate studies.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Daniel Jaffe

Mostly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
To The Editor:
We began Phantom Music Series with a show by The Stray Birds in Jim Edgcomb's barn about two years ago. Thirty or forty of us gathered together not knowing exactly what to expect, and from the first note we sat in awe of these three young musicians. Their instrumental work is polished, multi-faceted and performed with finesse far beyond their years ... their vocal harmonizing is superb. This will be our third show now with the Birds, and we are extremely pleased to have them play for us again.
About two months ago I made an announcement that Phantom Music Series was coming to an end and this would be our farewell show. I couldn't imagine sending the series off with a more appropriate act, and I still feel very much the same. However, some folks throughout The Valley have been very resistant to the idea of discontinuing the series and saying farewell to the caliber of talent we've been able to entice to come play for us. There are murmurings amongst the ranks of sponsorship and the possibility of a group forming to help keep the series alive. They are just murmurings so far, but it's incredibly heartening to hear there are folks out there who feel as we do, that keeping quality music here in The Valley is important and worth putting forth the effort to make sure it persists.
So we don't yet know for sure if this is the last show for Phantom Music Series, as I had advertised, or whether the rally cry will bear fruit. It is certainly our deep desire to continue bringing great music to The Valley. We've loved every minute of the endeavor and are exceptionally thankful for the kind words and the appreciation folks have shown for our efforts. This is a great community we live in and for 22 years Nancy and I have been incredibly proud to be a part of it. We saw this music series as a way for us to give back to the community that has been so giving to us. We're hopeful circumstances will align in order that we can continue doing so.

Many parents in the state have high education levels and good incomes, making it easier to support their children's education. In addition, Mr. Toner says, school districts are relatively small, allowing for teachers to know the community better; any student can enroll in an AP course; and all students are encouraged to take college-entrance exams such as the SAT.
With high-stakes testing, some students do have to drill basic skills rather than enjoy a well-rounded curriculum as they approach 12th grade, Toner says, but "you'd have to admit that by having a graduation requirement ... it got kids' and families' attention and you could see the proficiency numbers on the exams [going] up."
Stevens says she has seen over time how the MCAS pressures teachers and presents a rather rigid structure for some learners. But her sons received a well-rounded education, including early opportunities to play musical instruments, which weren't available in California at the time. Older brother Nicholas O'Connor is now studying engineering at Boston College, and Benjamin O'Connor is a high school junior hoping to study marine biology.
"We understand the value of an education," Stevens says. "It's the one thing you can give your child that will last their whole life.
Because of Massachusetts' success story, education policies here are watched and sometimes "emulated by other states," Wilhoit says.
Texas, for example, adopted new math standards this year after a democratic process – starting with a draft based in part on standards from high-performing states, including Massachusetts, says Todd Webster, chief deputy commissioner of the Texas Education Agency. Texas is sticking with those standards rather than adopting the Common Core.
But Massachusetts' future doesn't look as rosy to observers such as Jamie Gass, director of the Center for School Reform at the Pioneer Institute for Public Policy Research, a conservative-leaning group in Boston.
"Massachusetts made historic gains ... but in the last four or five years, a lot of those policy gains have been rolled back," he says. "There are other states that are nipping at our heels ... [and] Massachusetts has kind of plateaued."
Particularly problematic, he says, is the state's decision to jump on the Common Core bandwagon. Massachusetts' standards were a model, he says, and the Common Core standards are of lower quality. For instance, standards for English-language arts used to be based largely on classic literature and poetry, which have a rich vocabulary, but the Common Core emphasizes more informational text, Mr. Gass says. To him it's part of a "trendy fad" focusing on workforce-development goals and "softer" 21st-century skills.
Commissioner Chester defends the state's decision to adopt the Common Core, saying it "advanced what we already had on the table."
Collaboration is increasing among states as more leaders look at the bigger picture of the global economy, Chester says: "When [there are] 50 different sets of standards [and testing] ... you're not necessarily giving children and parents honest and accurate information about how they measure up in a world where state boundaries are less and less relevant to your economic opportunities."

Our star - the Sun - is the center of our solar system. Without our Sun, there would be no life on Earth.
Our Sun is a ball of hot, glowing gases. The part we can see is about 11,000 degrees F (6,100 degrees C). It gets hotter as you go deeper. The hottest the oven in your kitchen gets is 500?F (260 degrees C). The surface of our Sun boils like a pot of soup. It also shoots flares of hot gas thousands of miles into space.
The Sun is way too hot to visit. A person or spacecraft couldn't even get near it. Even if you could get close, powerful gravity would make one of your arms weigh as much as your whole body. It would be impossible to move.

Environmental Groups File Lawsuit Against EPA
Lecturer in Law and Director of the Environmental Law Clinic Deborah Sivas is quoted in an Associated Press article in Sauk Valley.com about a lawsuit filed against the EPA about insufficient regulations regarding waste water release in U.S. coastal waters. The AP writes:
Environmentalists sued the federal government Monday over new rules that critics say do too little to prevent cargo ships from dumping invasive species into the nation's waterways.
In their lawsuit filed with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, three groups contend the EPA permit's requirements are too weak to meet Clean Water Act standards.
"The law does not allow EPA to do what's politically expedient," said Deborah Sivas, director of the Stanford Law School Environmental Clinic. "It requires what is necessary to protect our waters."


text: Shiseido Nebula (VI207) Lacquer Gloss ($25.00 for 0.25 fl. oz.) is described as a "violet with multi-coloured pearls." It's a medium lavender-purple with soft, cool undertones and a multi-colored, fine shimmer. It had semi-opaque color coverage, where the gloss noticeably changed the natural lip color but still enabled some of it to come through, so your natural lip color will influence the ultimate result (particularly any undertones). It applied evenly for the most part, but there was room for improvement. This shade wore well for four and a half hours. NARS Annees (P, $26.00) appears more similar when swatched (but has no shimmer), but applied, it is much lighter. MAC Cinestyle (LE, $20.00) is cooler-toned, milkier, no shimmer.

The Crusaders are also averaging 3.6 blocked shots per game, and are outrebounding the opposition by 0.6 boards per contest.

not Sedum acre[edit]
I moved this one to the unidentified plants category because it clearly is not Sedum acre. But what could it be? -- Robert Flogaus-Faust (talk) 19:37, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
User:Uleli put the Picture already in Category:Unidentified Veronica. They used to be Hebe, but I think since APG they are Veronica --Wer?Du?! (talk) 03:15, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
not Eichhornia –> Alismataceae?[edit]
I suppose it's not Eichhornia azurea
- Maybe Hydrocharitaceae? There are 2 more Hydrocharis species beside Hydrocharis morsus-ranae. -- Hämbörger (talk) 20:20, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
not Anthericum[edit]
Images found in Anthericum liliago
(left picture) if the leave margins are toothed (upper left part of img), I tend to say it's Rhamnus cathartica, though the branches look too bright brownish. but there's several variations and also hybrids between Rh. cathartica and Rh. saxatilis (which has much smaller leaves, and is a rather small and compact shrub of 1, sometimes up to 1,5 m height). on the other hand there's also similarities to Cornus mas, but their leaves are not toothed, and the nodes sometimes seen in the picture are too thickened. both species have (mostly) oppostite leaves and veins running to the apex. --22.214.171.124 08:12, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
(right picture) reminds me of some species of Arabis. --188.8.131.52 08:18, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Iris, but not Iris florentina[edit]
This Picture was uploaded as Iris germanica florentina
To my knowledge Iris germanica florentina (or just Iris florentina) should be nearly white.
Rubus idaeus?[edit]
- Rubus but Rubus idaeus
this is not! R. idaeus; maybe R. trivialis, but not quite sure
not Centrosema[edit]
not Centrosema virginianum, probably Lycium sp.
not Phaleria[edit]
not Phaleria as this species is not cauliflorous, probably any cauliflorous member of Rubiaceae (Versteegia?, Psychotria?) --Franz Xaver 09:54, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
not Rosa canina[edit]
Leptinella -> Hebe[edit]
I found the following photos in Leptinella dioica (Asteraceae). However, these photos are no Asteraceae. They show some Hebe species from Plantaginaceae, formerly Scrophulariaceae. --Franz Xaver 05:31, 16 July 2005 (UTC)
not Helichrysum petiolare[edit]
Whatever this photo is, it is not Helichrysum petiolare. --Franz Xaver 21:21, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
not Pimelea ciliolaris[edit]
Both photos certainly are not Pimelea nor any other species of Thymelaeaceae. They show some Asteraceae, Asteroideae, probably relatives of Helichrysum. --Franz Xaver 13:27, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
Hypericum pulchrum -> Hypericum perforatum?[edit]
Especially in the second picture the sepals can be seen. In my opinion it's not H. pulchrum, but H. perforatum. --Mbc 16:17, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
- Yes, the "holes" can be seen in some leaves in the shadow. -- Hämbörger (talk) 09:00, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
not Sedum telephium = Spiraea betulifolia Pall.[edit]
Not Eriogonum umbellatum[edit]
Definitely not Eriogonum umbellatum. For one thing, it has no umbels. I have no idea what it is (though I have the feeling it's a standard garden perennial), but I bet a nickel it's not an Eriogonum. The site that it's from, www.biolib.de, is currently down and gives time-out messages that freeze the window. —JerryFriedman 18:53, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
- Heuchera? —JerryFriedman 19:42, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
This is probably Tellima grandiflora 126.96.36.199 18:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Unidentified = Bryonia alba'[edit]
Dactylis glomerata[edit]
not Sanicula europaea[edit]
not Bellis annua[edit]
In the uper part you see a rosette of a Sempervivum-species, in the lower left there isGeum reptans (Sieversia reptans) and in the lower rigtht Lotus corniculatus agg. You can conclude the picture has been taken in an alpine environment, but Bellis annua does not grow in alpine environments...
Please rename to Bellis spp.--Ixitixel (talk) 11:33, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
not Cedrus deodara[edit]
This image has been categorized as Cedrus deodara by a user with HotCat; it was transferred to Commons from Malayalam Wikipedia. What is it?--Carnby (talk) 23:53, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
not Crepis tectorum[edit]
The leafs are not typically formed. The description under the drawing says: Crepis biennis. --Danny S. (talk) 14:31, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
- Crepis biennis L. is a valid name --Chris.urs-o (talk) 17:23, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
User Seysi stated some doubts at de:Wikipedia:Redaktion Biologie/Bestimmung/Keller#Zweifel an einem Gras und zwei Nelken
- Thx --Chris.urs-o (talk) 17:29, 29 July 2012 (UTC)
not Crataegus monogyna[edit]
It's a Sorbus but whitch one? Panticosa seems to be a spa town in spain.
What plant is this?[edit]
Does somebody know which plant is this, looks like sallad but it's not, and smells like peppermint? --Ivan25 (talk) 11:40, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Welp, I've decided to dip my toes in to the blogging world, yanno, test the waters. I know, shoot me now.
With as many fashion blogs out there, I decided to do something a little different, something I really wish there was more of, because, I swear, I'm the biggest prim whore on the planet. I'm doing furniture!
And to get me going, I gave myself a little challenge, just so I come up with something creative to post instead boring the absolute daylights out of you guys. Here is the first of my Week of Time.
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
If something is easy, it wins big points in my book. Constantly changing my trees over for seasons (because I RP) would be a huge hassle if I didn't have these lovely little things to make shit so much, well, easier.
Forest Floor has come up with the ingenious idea of having one tree that you don't have to constantly remove by simply change textures.
It comes with each season, which totals nine different foliage textures (and falling leaves for autumn!) and three barks to choose from. Three different sizes, two different leaf coverages, and the option of roots. Jeez, not only that, but it comes with shadow prims.
'Oh, boo, shadow prims,' is what I'm probably getting from you right now. 'What if I terraform and my land's all bumpy?' Well, calm down, they have stuff for that too. There's a flat version for, well, flat ground, and a sculpted version for rough terrain with seven different texture options.
I absolutely love these trees, as you can tell by the fact I've used them all over my damned lot.
Trees: Forest Floor – Elm (2-4 prims, copy/mod)
Wall Ivy: Trompe Loeil – Wall Ivy Multi (3 prims, copy/mod)
Grass: KIDD GRASS – Dark Meadow (1 prim, trans)

2013 Annual Report
The objectives of the SCA and parent project complement each other. For example, objective three of the parent project, "Develop management practices to minimize the transport of pathogens from concentrated dairy and beef cattle operations to water resources" directly relates to our experiments examining pathogen transport during overland flow. Preferential transport of pathogens will also occur during overland flow and this has been studied as part of the SCA research described above.

The guilty verdicts were not the end of the story. Only six weeks after his conviction for conspiracy and fraud, Enron founder and former chief executive Kenneth Lay was dead, the victim of a heart attack. Jeffrey Skilling, Lay's successor at the now defunct energy giant, continues to maintain his innocence and has vowed to appeal; nonetheless, he's likely to receive a hefty prison term when sentenced. As the drama plays to its final conclusion, corporate America watches with bemusement and searches for lessons. Is the Enron case a "Verdict on an Era" gone by -- as The New York Times suggests? Or do the "Guilty Verdicts Provide 'Red Meat' to Prosecutors Chasing Companies?" -- as The Wall Street Journal speculates?
There's probable truth in both scenarios. In interviews we've conducted with executives of companies large and small, it's clear that the Enron case will influence discussions and decisions in corporate boardrooms for years to come. Here's a look at some of the lessons already learned -- and how many executives are gearing up to meet the challenges of increased scrutiny and expense, organizational change and a mandate for measurement to help ensure ethics programs are far more than just corporate window-dressing.
New Players in the C-Suite
Perhaps the most noticeable change is in the new roles and titles to which Enron has given life. One of the newest is chief accounting officer.
"Enron has made us all just nervous," says Joyce Bastoli, vice president and regional director of Ajilon Finance Solutions. "CFOs don't want to be blamed for weaknesses in accounting functions, so companies are bringing in this extra layer of management, hiring chief accounting officers to handle reporting and compliance and work with outside auditors. And they have found that their stocks usually rise when they do."
Ajilon, headquartered in Saddle Brook, N.J., provides companies with senior level finance and operations professionals on a project or interim basis. But like many of its clients, Ajilon is cleaning its own house, "enforcing the rules a lot more and not letting it slide when there's no process in place," Bastoli says. In fact, the company recently dismissed one employee for misreporting his key-performance indicators. "We're really holding managers accountable for ensuring their numbers are accurate, and doing more due diligence to make sure the people we hire are credible and ethical."
Steve Skalak, partner in the corporate investigations practice of PricewaterhouseCoopers in New York, agrees that "the whole area of forensic accounting is being pretty aggressively installed in major companies, though the jury is out on whether the measures are worth the cost." In early returns, the data suggest that one area where the return on investment is palpable is the lessening risk of legal actions. There were 168 securities-related, class-action cases last year, down from more than 200 for the first time in 10 years, he notes. According to PwC's Global Economic Crime survey, a company's two most effective investments are in whistleblower access and internal audit.
The big-picture lesson, Skalak says, is that whatever the specifics of a corporate system of internal controls, ethics office and hotline, it's important to constantly reinforce the concept of "We trust our employees but we verify what they do." He suggests a supervisory review by management, scheduled on an appropriate cycle, at all levels of the organization. In corporate governance, for example, that means questioning what management is doing deep in the clerical operations. And it translates into making sure payments for routine goods and services are being properly reviewed at all levels.
Skalak says companies also shouldn't forget one of the most important -- and most counter-intuitive -- lessons learned from Enron and other business- ethics scandals. The old saw that communicating stories of bad behavior only inspires others to try it themselves has proven untrue. "One key best practice in corporate investigations is communicating that you have detected and mitigated a problem," he says. "That has a substantial deterrent effect and is definitely preferable to keeping everything confidential."
For ethics and compliance officers, the most obvious post-Enron trend is the evolution of their job responsibilities into a field in itself, separate from law, human resources and audit. The Ethics and Compliance Officer Association, Waltham, Mass., reports that in the five years since Enron collapsed, the association has grown more than 70%, to 1,260 members.
One ongoing challenge for most compliance and ethics professionals is that they "still don't really have the power to say no to a CEO or CFO," says Joseph E. Murphy, partner in the Compliance Systems Legal Group, Warwick, R.I. Murphy suggests that compliance officers be accountable to corporate boards, not to senior management, with employment agreements that need the approval of a company's full audit committee.
Adding It All Up
Measurement. That's what companies are increasingly looking for with regard to their ethics and compliance programs, partly to determine whether the programs are working but also to tweak and fine-tune business systems and processes in the hopes of recouping some return on the vast sums being spent on post-Enron compliance.
"The new wave is business-process improvement through accurate, real-time reporting," Ajilon's Bastoli says, "looking at how finance can leverage technology to capture efficiencies, savings and activity-based costing, to trace profits and be sure you're running a lean operation."
At Boeing Co., the huge Chicago-based aerospace company, the goal is to "be in a position to see ahead, predict what's happening and get ahead of it," rather than responding after the fact to negative behaviors or publicity, says Martha Ries, vice president of ethics and business conduct. Ries told a packed room at a recent Conference Board conference on ethics and compliance, "We're starting to take our survey data, our H.R. data, data from a number of companies we benchmark within the defense industry and focus-group data, and look at it altogether."
In January, each business head at Boeing identified three key business risks to focus on for 2006. They each get a daily summary report that tracks current cases, backlog, cycle time and customer satisfaction. An internal Ethics Report, posted on the corporate intranet, communicates the disposition of any cases that arise for all employees to see, with only the names of the perpetrators deleted.
Dow Chemical Co., Midland, Mich., is also looking at the numbers and the data, trying to measure how employees perceive it's ethics program. It's also working to develop a standard process and database to identify and track issues, apply consistent discipline or remedial action and eliminate the possibility of double standards based on management levels, says director of global ethics and compliance Tom McCormick.
At PBS&J, a Florida-based, employee-owned engineering firm with 3,800 employees, chief ethics and compliance officer C. Lee Essrig identifies best practices as focusing on risk assessment, measuring program effectiveness and putting a real emphasis on culture and leadership. "The key is to encourage and reward right behaviors instead of punishing after the fact," she says. They're also "relentless about communicating with employees. The point is to breathe life into the program by following through on what you promise."
"Does your company have mandatory ethics training?" she asks. "Is it truly mandatory? What happens to people who don't go?"
The question of over-promising also concerns Lisa Ruca, director of corporate compliance at law firm Holland Knight LLP. "Enron is the perfect example of a window-shelf compliance program," she notes, with a state-of- the-art ethics program and a CEO who talked the talk. The lesson? It's not what you put in your code; it's about how your executives embrace and own the program. "The important thing is to integrate compliance and ethics into the business. Companies don't know how to do that yet, but they have learned that paper programs just aren't going to work. There's more of an emphasis on measurement than ever, even though it's very difficult," Ruca says.
Looking to the Future
In the autumn of 2001, Enron was beginning its final slide into corporate oblivion, taking with it the Arthur Andersen accounting firm and the jobs of thousands of employees. Few could have imagined then what has unfolded since. Certainly no one could have predicted that the financial and business ramifications of the Enron debacle would continue on into the second half of the decade.
Yet that's what is happening. In Washington, the debate continues regarding Sarbanes-Oxley and required levels of compliance, especially for smaller publicly-held businesses. Ajilon's Bastoli predicts a wave of small companies privatizing as their executives simply give up trying to meet the compliance standards. "We'll see a lot of activity in investment banking and M&A in 2007," she says.
But larger companies also will continue to search for efficiencies. "There's no question that investors are better served today than before Enron, and that the system has delivered better processes," says PricewaterhouseCoopers partner Ray Beier. "But the question is, at what cost? I do see where the system has acknowledged that maybe there's too much regulation. What's the balance between regulation and getting things done in the marketplace? That's the debate that will go on. That's going to be one key question for 2007.
Meanwhile, getting the accounting right is particularly important, Beier says. The IRS likely will be looking carefully at how companies account for liabilities in terms of reserves and complex hedging transactions, and whether they account for revenue properly. Executive compensation will draw attention in 2007 -- and so will the role of the board.
And the age-old question will remain: "How do you make sure your people do the right thing? Are your incentives directing behaviors the way you want them directed?"
Former federal prosecutors Chuck La Bella and Thomas McNamara, now white-collar, criminal-defense lawyers at their own San Diego firm, predict that enforcement activities by the Securities and Exchange Commission will continue at the current level, "though federal prosecutions may have reached a peak." Regulators and law enforcement agents have been so aggressive that companies are starting to fight back a little. Still, they note, "the SEC is pooling hundreds of millions of dollars in resources (into) an enforcement apparatus it didn't have five years ago. They have to do something."
Another "subtle aftermath of Enron" is the increased role of the institutional investor. "They're flexing their muscles, and we're going to see more and more of that," LaBella and McNamara predict. Insurance companies and pensions funds are going to demand good corporate governance -- and their involvement "is a much more effective solution than an Enron trial, because they are interested in the survival -- the growth and prosperity -- of companies, and in creating real value."
Smart companies will fine-tune their use of good governance not just to satisfy market analysts but as a public relations vehicle, the former prosecutors predict. "Good corporate governance," they note, "can be as effective a marketing tool as a good quarter."
A Little Light in Portland
Enron may be gone, but its legacy continues in a most unlikely place.
In April, on the same day former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling took the stand in his own defense, Enron subsidiary Portland General Electric spun off from its bankrupt parent and made its debut on the New York Stock Exchange. Enron creditors received 27 million newly-issued shares of the utility, or about 43% of its outstanding stock, for a payout worth $568 million. The remaining shares are being held by a disputed claims reserve for future distribution to Enron's creditors -- including the 401(k) accounts of Portland General's retirees.
Portland General, Oregon's oldest utility, delivers electricity to about 780,000 customers. When it was bought by Enron for $3.1 billion in 1997, its pension plan largely remained unchanged -- but its 401(k) plan shifted to Enron securities, which today are virtually without value.
"It's a relief to have the Enron chapter behind us and we're excited to be an independent company again," CEO Peggy Fowler told Business Ethics. Now, the remaining issue is personal, as employees "are still dealing with their 401(k) losses in varying ways and are watching closely how the 401(k) settlements will work out, including if there will be any noticeable recovery of those lost investments."
Some folks have delayed their retirement plans and stayed on longer than they had planned. Others are hoping for a successful outcome to Portland General's efforts to convince Congress to pass catch-up retirement legislation for employees of companies like Enron. Portland General, meanwhile, is offering retirement planning advice and job training for workers who want to move into other areas of the company.
"Most of us have moved on," says Fowler, and certainly her focus is on the future rather than the past. In the works at the newly public utility are an infrastructure investment plan that will add the 400 megawatt (MW) natural gas-fired Port Westward Generating Plant by 2007, and a wind project that will produce 450 MW more, as well as new metering technologies and information platforms to better monitor customers' daily needs.
But the lessons of Enron are not forgotten -- especially not by Fowler. "Would Enron have been different with different people? Probably," she says. "It's important to have the right people in the right jobs, especially when they are key leadership positions. And it's extremely important to protect your company's reputation. It's far too easy to damage or lose your reputation these days -- and far harder to earn it back."

Where is it from?
- A User Melbourne, Australia
Musket - Pattern 1842 Reg. No: ST 000261
- Summary:
- British Service percussion musket, Pattern 1842 Musket, cal. .753 in., steel smoothbore round barrel, 992 mm long, with Lovell's bayonet catch on R.H.side.
Issued to the 40th Foot (2nd Somersetshire Regiment), an infantry regiment of the British Army stationed in Victoria from 1852 to 1860, used these guns in the attack on Eureka Stockade, Ballarat on 3 December 1854.
One of 26 guns donated in 1871 by the Victorian Ordnance Department from its Melbourne Armoury, for the newly created Industrial and Technological Museum. The display was intended to show mechanics and gunsmiths the principles of gun construction and recent technical developments in weapons.
- Description:
- Steel side lock and hammer on R.H. side, brass oval triggerguard with small front spur and longer rear extension, two brass 'Lovell's sidenail cups' for lockplate screws on L.H.side, brass foreend and butt plate, two sling swivels, one mounted from triggerguard, the other above front ramrod tube. Block foresight, V-notch rear sight, barrel fastened to stock via three barrel keys, steel ramrod, and three brass ramrod tubes, the front one being trumpet shaped.
Lockplate stamped with a crown over 'V-R/ TOWER 1847' and a smaller crown and broad arrow combined. Stamped on stock R.H.side with government broad arrow over 'BO' and '1854' over an illegible mark. Stamped on underside and L.H.side of stock 'W SCOTT'. Ordnance marks stamped on underside of stock near triggerguard. Barrel L.H.side stamped with particularly clear Birmingham government proof marks. Barrel not removed for inspection on this date (7/9/05). Barrel top at breech stamped with a crown over '17'. Buttplate tang stamped '40/ E/ 2'.
- Statement Of Significance:
- This is a particularly important item in the Museum's collection. The Pattern 1842 musket was issued by both the 12th Foot (East Suffolk Regiment) and the 40th Foot (2nd Somersetshire Regiment) before being stationed in Australia. Companies of both these Regiments used these arms in the attack on the Eureka Stockade in December 1854. When the Regiments departed for the Maori Wars in 1863, they were re-equipped with the Pattern 1853 Enfield rifle and their Pattern 1842 muskets were subsequently relegated to the Melbourne Armoury store. This one remained there for a further eight years before being presented to the newly formed firearm collection of the Industrial and Technological Museum in 1871.

If you've ever played through Skyrim, you will probably have found at least one of these masks while adventuring. While there's some disagreement, a lot of people think that they are one of the best-designed pieces of equipment in the game. This instructable will show you how to make your own dragon priest mask, whether it be Krosis, Morokei or perhaps even Konahrik.
If you already have a couple of tools, this should be fairly cheap to make and there's room for variation, too.
Step 1: Ingredients
-Resin and hardener - Depending on how obsessive you are, you will need somewhere between 250ml-500ml.
-Filler or "Bondo" - Only a small amount, just for neatening up edges. Get the smallest tub.
-Fibreglass - this goes on the inside, so don't worry about thickness.
-Paper - You will need fairly thick paper, but no more than 10 pages of it (Provided you succeed the first time around).
-Glue - You can buy glue specifically for paper craft, but otherwise a glue gun will create very strong yet flexible bonds.
-Various grades of sandpaper.
-Paint - You can paint the mask however you like since there are variations in-game.
-Foam - Optional, if your crest fails like mine did.
-Rubber Gloves
-Old Clothes - If resin gets into any piece of clothing, consider it scrap cloth. Use clothes you dont mind getting ruined.
-Gas Mask - For when you start sanding.
-Eye protection - For sanding.
-Dremel or other similar tool - Optional, but very useful when sandpaper cannot reach certain areas.
-Files - Again optional, but useful for creating sharp edges.
-Sharp Knife and Cutting Board
-Patience - This is relative to how good you want the final piece to be, but be prepared to spend hours sanding.
-Stirring stick
-A stand to paint on - This can be anything you don't mind getting painted on.
From those of us who are Skyrim fans, we thank you!! Beautiful work. Can't wait to clear out the glass room and start creating these. Absolutely beautiful. And enough time to make it for Halloween!
I want to find a Konahrik mask tutorial now....
Thanks man, awesome project.
Thank you so much man!
Cheers for the instructable! was really fun!! :D
Just another day in office... :D
You should try craft foam or a closed cell, EVA foam
That's really awesome!
Me and my girlfriend want to make two of these, but our local art store don't have any fiber glass and their epoxy is quite expensive
Is fiber glass boat epoxy suitable for such a project ? (since it's half the price)
Also, got any idea where i could find fiberglass or any alternative product that i could use ?
And yes we will use them, and yes we will fight with them on battlegrounds :P
thanks for your respond, but especially for your wonderfull work !
And finally fibreglass products are generally really easy to pick up, the majority of hardware shops, Halfords and arts and crafts stores should have it in. The cheapest place to get would probably be a car-body shop, if you can find one.
but that was 6 months ago !
for this summer i'm trying to make a new one using thicker paper, masking tape and areosol ruber ! :D
I hope you'll continue to make us other great instructables !

Bookstores are obsolete?
Also, number 5 on the list? Bookstores. Agree or disagree?
16 comments:
I disagree...Borders is always crowded when I go in there, although I buy most of my books from Amazon.ReplyDelete
I think people still like bookstores and still NEED bookstores. But I also think that people probably buy the majority of their books from online sources.ReplyDelete
Also, did you hear that Borders is near bankruptcy? NOOOO!!!
Highly disagree!! I will always be willing and wanting to buy more and more books.ReplyDelete
Totally disagree!ReplyDelete
Someone forgot to tell the catalog companies that they are obsolete...I still get at least one a day.ReplyDelete
I don't see that bookstores will ever be obsolete. True, I buy or get most of my books online but that is because I am a voracious reader. The casual reader isn't as likely to give up perusing a bookstore for their 1.2 books read a year.
very strongly disagree, while I think there are some who are big on online ordering I think many, myself included enjoy going to the store to see what grabs my eye or what I'm dying to read.ReplyDelete
I don't think bookstores are obsolete. There are always lots of people there...ReplyDelete
I disagree... for the moment. However, as previous commenters stated, online bookstores are gaining in popularity, as well as e-readers like the Kindle and Nook. I don't believe that bookstores are obsolete quite yet, but I think that sometime in the future they will either cease to exist, or become an entirely different sort of environment.ReplyDelete
VIctoria Strauss did a post about the context of stats (http://accrispin.blogspot.com/2011/01/importance-of-context-part-1.html). While brick and mortar as suffered lately, so has a lot of other businesses during the recession. Shopping online is convenient but there's something about going to a bookstore and browsing that can't be beat. And judging by the number of people I always see in the bookstore when I go, I'm not swayed that they're obsolete.ReplyDelete
Well I sure hope not! I use them all the time for gifts. I also use online ones too but it's the same for all shopping. I use both online and instore for much shopping so please keep 'em!ReplyDelete
I think there's definitely still a need for book stores! Even though I do buy lots of books online, there's something really lovely about browsing through a bookshop and picking up a random read you mmight not have discovered. Round my home in the UK, a lot of Waterstones are closing down, which is such a shame :( In the future bookstores might face a struggle though.ReplyDelete
I disagree too ... there's no comparison between browsing online and in an actual bookstore. No matter how hard I try, I can never keep away from the bookstore too long :-)ReplyDelete
Whaaaat? That list is crazy. Watches? Catalogs? The separation between work life and personal life? (That last one just made me sad!)ReplyDelete
Although as I continued through the list... a lot of those things are gone, baby gone. Yellow pages? Landline phones? See ya later!
I hate to say that I think they could be on the right track about book stores. I just wrote a post a couple of weeks ago about my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE book store (Treehouse Books in Holland, MI) that just went out of business. It's hard to keep up with the Amazons and B&Ns!

how i hope that isn't true!ReplyDelete
though the borders by me isn't nearly as crowded as the barnes and noble so i do believe borders will be gone soon
I disagree. There are still music stores, even though most people don't buy CDs anymore. I think strong bookstores will survive, because most people who are book lovers love browsing a book store and discovering new books. I gander publishers will still print books for several more years, just perhaps they're putting out more e-books than paper books.ReplyDelete
Just wanted to let you know that I just linked back to this post! Thank you for sharing it with all of us :)ReplyDelete

Police: Samuel Sanchez arrested after burglary victim spots stolen sword
Sanchez, 18, charged with burglary in home break-in on Porter Street
SAN ANTONIO - Police arrested 18-year-old Samuel Sanchez in connection with a home burglary on Porter Street where a sword was stolen.
An arrest warrant affidavit stated a man called police on Aug. 6 after returning to his East Side home and finding that he had been burglarized.
Someone had stolen several items, most notably the sword, from the residence, the affidavit stated.
Later that same day, the victim told police he had spotted a man coming out of the home next door, in the 300 block of Porter Street, carrying some of his stolen property, including the sword.
Investigators said they talked to several people in the home who pointed them toward Sanchez. He was booked into the Bexar County jail Tuesday with bond set at $20,000.
