Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting a group of compliance practitioners from Russia who came to the United States to meet with US based compliance professionals and learn more about how the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) impacts how US companies do business overseas. The delegation was hosted by Washington-based Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), an affiliate of the US Chamber of Commerce.
The purpose for the visit was straightforward, to allow these Russian compliance specialists to understand more fully the obligations of US companies under the FCPA so that they, in turn, could educate Russian businesses which may want to do business with US companies. It is, as my colleague Jason Poblete often writes on his blog The DC Dispatches, a business approach to a legal problem. As this is Texas and the world famous Houston Rodeo is just beginning, we dined at lunch with some very excellent Bar-Be-Que. Meeting our Russian colleagues were some of Houston's top in-house compliance officers and practitioners. While primarily drawn from the energy sector, there were representatives from public and private companies; multi-billion dollar companies down to entities with $100 million in annual sales; product manufacturers and service-oriented companies, some companies had larger compliance departments, down to one-man (compliance) bands
I learned quite a bit listening to the Houston based compliance specialists talk about the thing that was most important or significant when dealing with a third party. Their remarks were limited to 5 minutes so they could only talk about a few key points. By far the most important was to understand who they were doing business with in the third party. Not just the listed owners, officers, directors and key employees but who is the ultimate beneficial owner. It is because that understanding of ownership allows a determination to be made if there is a foreign government representative involved. While certainly this would raise a red flag, the Department of Justice (DOJ) Opinion Releases have shown that having foreign official ownership does not require a US company to decline to do business under all circumstances as the key is how is that relationship is managed.
A second point made was that if a Russian company had a compliance program in place and understood a US company's obligations under the FCPA; it would clearly stand out as a market differentiator. So by having a program, training on it, having documentation of all of this a Russian company could stand out as a potential business partner of a US centric company, in a variety of manners such as an agent, sales representative, supplier, joint venture partner or even as a key customer.
Another Houston based compliance practitioner, whose company has more of a logistical focus, said that a key compliance indicator for his company is documentation. The more documentation that can be presented to support invoices, the more comfortable he can be that all assessed charges are legitimate and are levied with transparency.
The final topic was another point that the FCPA Guidance makes clear, which is not only do you need to assess your risks but you also need to manage your risk. Each Houston-based compliance officer discussed the risk profiles for their company and the FCPA risks that were presented to them. They each had a different focus for managing their attendant risk. It was a powerful way to view the clear import from the FCPA Guidance to assess your risk and then manage it.
One of the things that I found most fascinating were the lessons that I learned listening to my newfound Russian colleagues. While they may seem obvious when you think about some of these lessons. The first was regarding language. While all of our guests spoke English quite well, they provided a translator because the nuances of both compliance-speak and Texan would probably have been a bit too much for them to fully grasp. It made me understand that even with very good "English as a second language" speakers involved, it is far better to provide information and education in the native language. Clearly, when the FCPA Guidance suggested that a company's Code of Conduct and its compliance training be in a subsidiary's local language they were on to something important.
Another point was that the Russian compliance professionals innately understood that you need to look at several different factors on a company's background in the performance of due diligence. One technique cited was the tendency of certain company owners to open and close several businesses, while running up huge debts and not paying them, thereby bankrupting not only their business but their unlucky suppliers. So there was a focus on company debt and length of time to pay suppliers that they believed was also a key factor in an appropriate due diligence investigation into a Russian company to determine if it was an acceptable business partner.
A final observation was the enthusiasm of the Russian compliance practitioners. Not only did they clearly understand that a company run ethically with good business practices was a better company; they also understood that Russian companies, who did business with US companies and were forced to have a FCPA compliance program, could help lead better business practices generally and more widely in Russia. In other words, they believed there is a market solution to help Russian companies do business ethically and that by requiring Russian companies to abide by anti-corruption laws like the FCPA and UK Bribery Act, it can help lead Russian businesses to more of an international position.
Our lunch ended and with much BBQ digested and we all said our good-byes. I hope that our Russian guests found us to be as gracious hosts as we found them to be guests. I also want to salute CIPE for organizing this trip and a shout out to my friends at the US Chamber of Commerce for putting together an NGO to help deliver business solutions to legal (and ethical) problems. As Mike Volkov wrote yesterday, compliance is much easier if you simply do not engage in bribery and corruption. CIPE helps non-US businesses and persons to follow that proscription and to help bring a more international effort to the fight against bribery and corruption.

A man accused of shooting his ex-girlfriend at her Westmoreland County home in December is now facing a homicide charge.
Pennsylvania State Police said Arthur L. Whitfield III, 51, shot ex-girlfriend Holly S. George, 36, four times while she lay in bed at her home in Derry Township on Dec. 1. Critically injured, she was flown to UPMC Presbyterian, where she died Dec. 20. An autopsy revealed she died from multiple gunshot wounds, the Allegheny County Medical Examiner's office said.
Before her death, Whitfield, of Josephine, Indiana County, was charged with attempted assault, recklessly endangering another person, criminal trespass and various gun violations. His bail was revoked Dec. 11 for having contact with Ms. George's family, court records show.
State police filed the new charges Wednesday as the result of her death. In additional to criminal homicide, he is charged with burglary and firearms violations. He was arraigned on this set of charges on Thursday morning and faces a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Using Database Mirroring
This feature will be removed in a future version of Microsoft SQL Server. Avoid using this feature in new development work, and plan to modify applications that currently use this feature. Use Always On Availability Groups instead.
Database mirroring, introduced in SQL Server 2005, is a solution for increasing database availability and data redundancy. SQL Server Native Client provides implicit support for database mirroring, so the developer does not need to write any code or take any other action once it has been configured for the database.
Database mirroring, which is implemented on a per-database basis, keeps a copy of a SQL Server production database on a standby server. This server is either a hot or warm standby server, depending on the configuration and state of the database mirroring session. A hot standby server supports rapid failover with no loss of committed transactions, and a warm standby server supports forcing service (with possible data loss).
The production database is called the principal database, and the standby copy is called the mirror database. The principal database and mirror database must reside on separate instances of SQL Server (server instances), and they should reside on separate computers if possible.
The production server instance, called the principal server, communicates with the standby server instance, called the mirror server. The principal and mirror servers act as partners within a database mirroring session. If the principal server fails, the mirror server can make its database into the principal database through a process called failover. For example, Partner_A and Partner_B are two partner servers, with the principal database initially on Partner_A as principal server, and the mirror database residing on Partner_B as the mirror server. If Partner_A goes offline, the database on Partner_B can fail over to become the current principal database. When Partner_A rejoins the mirroring session, it becomes the mirror server and its database becomes the mirror database.
Alternative database mirroring configurations offer different levels of performance and data safety, and support different forms of failover. For more information, see Database Mirroring (SQL Server).
It is possible to use an alias when specifying the mirror database name.
For information about initial connection attempts and reconnection attempts to a mirrored database, see Connect Clients to a Database Mirroring Session (SQL Server).
Programming Considerations
When the principal database server fails, the client application receives errors in response to API calls, which indicate that the connection to the database has been lost. When this happens, any uncommitted changes to the database are lost and the current transaction is rolled back. If this occurs, the application should close the connection (or release the data source object) and re-open it. The connection is transparently re-directed to the mirror database, which now acts as the principal server.
When a connection is established, the principal server sends the identity of its failover partner to the client to be used when failover occurs. Where an application tried to establish a connection after the principal server failed, the client does not know the identity of the failover partner. To allow clients the opportunity to cope with this scenario, an initialization property and an associated connection string keyword allow the client to specify the identity of the failover partner on its own. The client attribute is used only in this scenario; if the principal server is available, it is not used. If the failover partner server supplied by the client does not refer to a server acting as a failover partner, the connection is refused by the server. To allow applications to adapt to configuration changes, the identity of the actual failover partner can be determined by inspecting the attribute after the connection has been established. You should consider caching the partner information to update the connection string or devise a retry strategy in the event that the first attempt at making a connection fails.
You must explicitly specify the database to be used by a connection if you want to use this feature in a DSN, connection string, or connection property/attribute. SQL Server Native Client will not attempt to failover to the partner database if this is not done.
Mirroring is a feature of the database. Applications that use multiple databases might not be able to exploit this feature.
In addition, server names are case insensitive, but database names are case sensitive. You should therefore make sure that you use the same casing in DSNs and connection strings.
SQL Server Native Client OLE DB Provider
The SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider supports database mirroring through connection and connection string attributes. The SSPROP_INIT_FAILOVERPARTNER property has been added to the DBPROPSET_SQLSERVERDBINIT property set, and the FailoverPartner keyword is a new connection string attribute for DBPROP_INIT_PROVIDERSTRING. For more information, see Using Connection String Keywords with SQL Server Native Client.
The failover cache is maintained as long as the provider is loaded, which is until CoUninitialize is called or as long as the application has a reference to some object managed by the SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider such as a data source object.
For details about SQL Server Native Client OLE DB provider support for database mirroring, see Initialization and Authorization Properties.
SQL Server Native Client ODBC Driver
The SQL Server Native Client ODBC driver supports database mirroring through connection and connection string attributes. Specifically, the SQL_COPT_SS_FAILOVER_PARTNER attribute has been added for use with the SQLSetConnectAttr and SQLGetConnectAttr functions; and the Failover_Partner keyword has been added as a new connection string attribute.
The failover cache is maintained as long as the application has at least one environment handle allocated. Conversely, it is lost when the last environment handle is deallocated.
The ODBC Driver Manager has been enhanced to support the specification of the failover server name.

Sweden's Lundin Petroleum reported Thursday that it is to plug and abandon its exploration well 8/5-1 on the Ogna prospect in the North Sea after it came up dry.
The well – located on on Block 8/5, production license 453S in the southern part of the Norwegian North Sea – reached its target depth of 7,675 feet but the primary, Jurassic-age reservoir was shown to be of poor quality and no hydrocarbons were encountered.
Lundin is the operator of PL435S with a 35-percent working interest. Its partners in the license are Noreco, Det Norske and VNG Norge.

They can make innocent conversations uncomfortable. Just ask Japanese rocker T.M. Revolution. He is one of Japan's most recognizable singers. He's also the proud owner of a new PS Vita. Advertisement "Just as I'd heard, the screen is huge, and it's beautiful!" T.M. Revolution tweeted. "It's also easy to use, and, yep, I totally want to play Monster Hunter 3G on this!"What's more," the singer continued, "this is my first tweet from the PS Vita!"AdvertisementInnocent, enough, no? He got a new piece of hardware, he likes it, and he wants to play a game on it. Thing is, Monster Hunter 3G is on the 3DS. It's not on the PS Vita. Suddenly, an innocent conversation is not so innocent—and red meat for fanboys."That bit about Monster Hunter was unnecessary," tweeted Japanese Twitter user Tekitou. "It makes a bad impression".T.M. Revolution seemed surprised, replying to Tekitou, with a "Huh?"SponsoredTekitou is following only eight Twitter users (Nintendo is first on his follow list; T.M. Revolution is not on it). He replied to the singer, noting that Capcom made best use of the 3DS's features and characteristics when developing and launching Monster Hunter 3G, then asking him what Capcom would think about the singer's 3DS denial.Another Twitter user pointed out that T.M. Revolution didn't do anything wrong, forwarding him a Japanese game site link detailing the whole Twitter incident. Online, others commented that it's natural to say you want to play Monster Hunter on Sony hardware due to its long history on the PSP. Others added that the singer didn't say the 3DS was awful. Yet, T.M. Revolution still apologized.AdvertisementAnd then the conspiracy theorist came out of the woodwork, like they always do, pointing out that T.M. Revolution is on Sony's music label. Who's the fanboy now, eh? Eh? Um...Speaking of music, you know what the best thing for video games could ever be? If they were like music in that you could play, say, T.M. Revolution's debut solo album on cassette, mini-disc, CD, or MP3—whatever the hell you wanted. If you wanted an analog experience, you could get that. If you wanted something slick and digital, you could get that, too. Or if you wanted to play his latest album on an Apple machine, you could do that. Or a Samsung machine, you could do that, too. But no. Big companies box in hardware and provide fodder for internet bickering and, here, celebrity hassling.Culture Smash is a daily dose of things topical, interesting and sometimes even awesome—game related and beyond.Advertisement(Top photo: Cloud Nine | Sony Music)Reply89 repliesLeave a reply

The nearest galaxy to the Milky Way is the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), which we see from a distance of 170,000 light years. It is inclined to our line of sight by about 40 degrees. Magellanic-type galaxies are quite rare, so we are lucky to have such a close view of such an unusual specimen. For purely statistical reasons edge-on galaxies are also rare, so we are especially fortunate to have in NGC 55 an example of a Magellanic-type galaxy seen edge-on which is also nearby. NGC 55 is at a distance of about 5 million light years, in the direction of the constellation of Sculptor. It is close enough for us to see it resolved into individual stars. With a big telescope like the AAT, the central regions look very much like the Milky Way seen with an ordinary camera. NGC 55 is a member of the Sculptor group, where the galaxies are few in number and well separated in space. It is probably for this reason that NGC 55 is not rich in star forming regions, because it is not interacting with any nearby companion galaxy, unlike the LMC, which is stirred up by interactions with both the Milky Way and the Small Magellanic Cloud.

While the recent Labor Day weekend brought good news to frustrated Time Warner Cable (NYSE:TWC) customers – the cable giant finally settled its carriage dispute with CBS (NYSE:CBS) – Bloomberg reports that a very similar disagreement is brewing between Disney's (NYSE:DIS) ESPN network and Dish Network Corp. (NASDAQ:DIS) — a dispute that could potentially thwart the excitement over the new football season.
Disney and Dish are currently looking at a September 30 deadline to negotiate the amount that Dish is required to pay for content as well as whether the satellite TV provider will be able to offer ESPN content through mobile. Both issues are analogous to those that caused Time Warner Cable and CBS to enter their month-long blackout. The current conflict between Disney and Dish could potentially see a fight equally drawn out, considering that ESPN is the most expensive pay-TV channel.
If the results of the Time Warner Cable and CBS debacle are any indication as to how the dispute between Dish and Disney will play out, the cards appear to be stacked in Disney's favor. CBS ultimately negotiated significant price increases while retaining the digital rights. And while Bloomberg explains that Dish Chairman Charlie Ergen has spoken of holding down costs in recent months and has brought up the idea of dropping ESPN before, that's not a popular idea for a television channel with viewership that extends far beyond that of die-hard sports fans.

Wilson was best known as Andell Wilkerson on UPN's Moesha and its spinoff, The Parkers. In addition, she appeared in the movies House Party 2, House Party 3 and Friday.
Wilson's Moesha costar Shar Jackson Tweeted Thursday evening: "I wanna thank all my tweeties for their prayers but god has chosen to take my sister Yvette home."
According to NewsOne, Wilson went to California's San Jose State University and became a regular on Russell Simmon's Def Comedy Jam.. Her big break came in 1993, on the short-lived ABC sitcom Thea, which, like the later Moesha, also starred Brandy Norwood.

The remix of Jamie Foxx's "Digital Girl" featuring Drake, Kanye and The-Dream just got a Hype Williams-directed video that finds supposedly digital women set against colored backgrounds while the four guys mug for the camera. Kanye, like on basically every song he's been featured on post-808s and Heartbreak, runs away with the thing, dropping lines about Passion of the Christ, Stacey Dash and whether or not taking a woman home from the club counts as a first date.

Today's episode was recorded live at CONvergence 2014. We even got the audience to sing our theme song. Our guest was Raychelle Burks, better known as Dr. Rubidium! Ray is a chemist so we spent the entire episode talking about Chemistry! Actually that was the plan. We ended up spending quite a bit of time talking about "Murder, She Wrote." We did eventually get to Chemistry, though, so if that's your thing, just hang in there. Ray also got a crack at our five questions.

1976 Seville problems - Germany
I´m Markus from Germany. I got an 1976 Seville since a few days. But it is not running. I ordered an shop manual but it´s not arrived jet. And checked some things whitout special information.
The enging fire uo really nice and run on all 8 Zylinders when i spray brake cleaner into the throttle body.
I check both fuel pumps and they are dead. Now i got an old fuel pump from an other car. I tried to get fuel to the rails. After an while it fired up and runs. But not at all Zylinders. The fast idle works, when it get a little bit warmer the idle drops to normal speed. But it won´t run really good when the idle drops. And the engine stops. Okay thats only an interim solution with a lot of fuel leaks
Now i´m thinking if i buy the pumps and 2 or 3 injectors and try to get it run. Or if i start to make an conversion to carburetor. Maybe somebody can help me with his experience.
And maybe somebody knows where i get an in tank sending unit. Because this is completely rusted,
Thanks for helping me

the early fuel injection system was full of problems -
you will be much happier with a carburetor - - 01-11-13 03:49 PM #3Cadillac Owners Master

Re: 1976 Seville Problems
Isn't that car throttle body? A problem with the distributor or also the HEI can cause problems like you are having.
Because of where you are it would probably be easier in the long run to convert to a carberator then finding parts in the future. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements
Re: 1976 Seville Problems
i will think about the conversion or to get it run like its origin.
But first we have to get the Car Registered again in Germany. Some of the owners before lost the documents of the car. In germany that is a kind of bullshit you never seen.
if that makes to much trouble and cost to much money it will go out in parts. But i wan´t to get the car on the streets again. It is in a very good condition. - 02-16-13 03:09 PM #5Cadillac Owners Member

Re: 1976 Seville Problems
Been in the same mess,
Parts hard to find, and expensive efi-parts
easier to get a carburettor with intake from oldsmobile in the same era, and cheaper.
So i would go for carburettor conversion or newer tbi conversion from 1986-95 Chevrolet(Thats another story)
Come back and tell!

Re: 1976 Seville Problems
Hi Markus, I bought a 76 Seville 4 years ago. When I got it it ran way too rich & would foul out the plugs quickly. The problem was the ambient air temperature sensor in the throttle body. If that and/or the coolant temperature sensor are bad, the car will run badly. The shop manual is very helpful. I also used this site before my manual arrived http://www.cadillacseville.org/, lots of good info & troubleshooting. Unfotunately I don't know see a source for the sending unit. Over time, I replaced both fuel pumps & 1 injector. The car is currently running great on the fuel injection.

Re: 1976 Seville Problems
Okay i will get a try. I ordered both fule pumps a filter and the air temp sensor. But i didn´t find a coolant temperature sensor. Do you have an store for that?
I repaired the in tank sending unit. It was completely rusty and it didn´t work. I hope it will do the job. Cleaning the fuel tank and waiting for the spare parts.
Maybe i have a little bit luck - 05-10-13 09:01 AM #9
Re: 1976 Seville Problems
so some good and bad news. The car runs with the new fuel pumps very good at a copule of time.
But now it won´t start any more. Also when i spray brake cleaner in the throttle body. I got sparks on the spark plugs and the voltage is there on the distributor. Fuel is also coming. - 05-10-13 09:18 AM #10
Re: 1976 Seville Problems
If you plan on converting to a carb & use the original pump setup, you will need a regulator to cut the pressure down to 5-7 lbs.
Personally, I'd go with an Edelbrock Performer with the choke & EGR allowance and a Q-jet. - 05-12-13 02:35 PM #11
Re: 1976 Seville Problems
that will be plan b, if i don´t get it to run.
I tried some things today, and the car starts perfect. But the engine stops after a second. But i can keep it run with the brake cleaner.

How are the injectors? Fuel filters?
Re: 1976 Seville Problems
How can i check the injectors?
The fuel filter outside the tank is the old one. I try tomorrow to change it. I can´t open the housing till now - 05-13-13 03:50 PM #14
Re: 1976 Seville Problems
Okay i get some more infos.
I changed the fuel filter and nothing changes.
i checked the pressure regulator with my compressor. And round about 40psi it opens.
Both of the temperatur sensors have about 900Ohm when i´m right the coolant and air sensors are the same or do they only look like the same from above?!
The injectors are clicking with ignition on and turning the throttle slowly.
The car keeps running, when i pump the gas Pedal fast. I have no second man for measure the speed sensor. Could that be the symptom for that? - 05-14-13 05:01 PM #15
Re: 1976 Seville Problems
and again some tests.
The speed sensor gives me the trigger signal, when i measure the resistant. And the 9V is clean.
The fuel flow must be okay. When i calculate it, it´s round about 115L per Hour.
When i squeeze the tube after the fuel pressure regulator that i get a higher pressure nothing changes. Also when i plug of the vacuum.
Now i haven´t really an idea, what it could be. I try to get an fuel pressure meter to check it in the car. - Sponsored Links Remove Advertisements

In the critical first three years of business it is important that you plan for growth but do not burden yourself with unnecessary additions to your overhead.
It is a difficult balancing act; it may just be that the founding partners are the only 'employees' of the company and often there is little or no profit so they cannot take a salary and may be working full time in another job to bootstrap the business. It helps if your full time job is similar to your start up business because the synergies will help you establish credibility and authority more quickly. So how do you punch above your weight as a new company? Here are 5 tips.
1. Attitude is altitude
Recently we were fortunate to hear Stedman Graham speak at Business 2012 in London and he made this point – Attitude is altitude. If you aspire to reach for the heights of your sector you must have the right attitude. You must be able to see beyond your immediate environment. Be extremely positive – we think 'Attitude is altitude' sums it up nicely.
2. Perception is reality
Here's a good demonstration of how perception is reality when you are establishing your brand and business. After a disagreement at Uptown records Sean Combs aka Puff Daddy now known as Diddy was running out of money when he met with Clive Davis of Arista Records to broker a distribution deal and new home for Bad Boy entertainment. Do you think he met Clive in a Starbucks and discussed the deal? Well no, he bought a brand new Range Rover, arrived in style and created the perception of himself that would get him the deal that he wanted. Want to read more about Diddy? Click here
3. Vision & Big thinking
One area where small businesses sometimes let themselves down is with their lack of vision or big thinking. Understandably business owners have very real operational concerns but there should be no limit to their imagination.
4. Big brand tactics – Planning & focus
You do not need a big marketing budget to use some big brand tactics. One of the strengths of household brands is the amount of planning that goes on prior to implementation. Most big brands do not attempt to do everything at once and yet often small businesses do. Small business owners should imitate this planned and focused approach rather than attempt to have an impact on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and Pinterest all at the same time. Choose your channels wisely and keep sight of your objectives.
5. Disruption*
If you have met with Marketing Fundamentals you will know that we are extremely keen on disrupting the marketplace or being different to achieve stand out. Harnessing this disruptive approach will yield dividends and prevent you from being another 'me too' company. Think of James Dyson, Sir Richard Branson or Steve Jobs and how you can apply this approach to your business.
There may be other ways that you can punch above your weight in your niche – we would be happy to explore specific opportunities for your business and how best to market them so give us a call on +44 (0) 845 2264 247 or drop us an email via email@example.com

Here is a recap of Perry Saturn on "In Your Head" Wrestling Radio, dated 08/29/2012 by Vic Schiavone:
Hosts Jack E. Jones and One Inch Biceps welcomed former ECW tag team champion and current member of Extreme Rising Perry Saturn to IYH Wrestling Radio.
Highlights of this interview included the following:
What were his memories of Paul Heyman in ECW?
"Paul E was really great at putting us all together. He would do everything half-assed, last-minute which would make us all nuts but when it was done it was a good show all the time…Paul E would get us fired up. Paul E's a great motivator, and he would convince us how everyone in the world was against us and it was only him on our side…Paul E would get everything out of you just by talking to you. There's been so many times when I've been so mad at Paul I'm gonna kill him the second I see him. Two minutes after I see him I'm laughing and hugging him and telling him I love him. It's unbelievable how he is. Paul E really loves wrestling, no way around it…not the wrestling business, but wrestling."
Where did he enjoy working more, ECW or WCW?
"ECW. WCW was like being in Hell; it was the worst place in the world. Nobody was happy there. Everybody hated their job; it was horrible there…Everybody was unhappy, from the top to the bottom, and when everybody's unhappy it's a miserable place to be. Everybody just bitched all day. WCW made you hate wrestling; it was horrible back there…There was no boss in charge, anybody could do whatever they wanted, everybody would bitch all the time, the top guys never made shows; everybody was unhappy…The only thing that was good about that place was the money; they paid you good money."

Summary: The Irish accountancy profession has achieved extraordinary prominence and success. In business, accountants are active as executives and managers, as well as members and leaders of company boards; in professional practice, accountants are responsible for the audit or consultancy requirements of corporations, charities and government.
The Versatile Profession shows how accountancy achieved this prominence. Informed by its exploration of the wider social and business background, North and South, this new history describes how Irish accountancy was able to remodel itself, its structures and services, as new opportunities opened.
Author: Don Anderson
Summary: This book has been produced to mark the Centenary of the Ulster Society of Chartered Accountants, a district society of the Institute of Chartered Accountants Ireland, Ireland's oldest and largest professional body of accountants.
Author: Ros O'Shea
Summary: Recent global economic crises have highlighted the devastating impact of business leaders becoming unmoored from an ethical base. Stakeholders now demand that they restore integrity at the heart of the enterprise. Leading with Integrity: A Practical Guide to Business Ethics equips business leaders and managers with the understanding and tools to set the right 'tone at the top', embedding a culture of integrity and compliance with ethical and organisational values.
Summary: Over the past few years, the Irish arts sector has suffered significant grant cuts, and is braced for more. In this environment, fundraising from various sources (other than the Arts Council) may well be the only way for arts organisations to survive and thrive. Thus, Irish arts organisations will need to become more ready to apply for and to receive funds from private and philanthropic sources. For this, they may require different governance structures, including more transparency and financial accountability.
Authors: Donal McKillop, Peter Goth and Noel Hyndman, Summary: Credit unions are a unique brand of financial institution – they are not-for-profit, cooperative, member-owned, voluntary yet value-driven. There are over 600 credit unions in Ireland, serving 3 million members. The Irish credit union movement is a modern financial phenomenon with unique market penetration, even in a global context.
Author: Ciaran Connolly and Tony WallSummary: Although Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been in operation for more than a decade, much of the evidence as to their impact is still contradictory and inconclusive, with little or no research being conducted in an Irish context. This book seeks to redress this lack of research into an important subject.
Author: Patricia BarkerSummary: In 1918, there were no women Chartered Accountants. By 1980, women represented 1.5% of the total membership of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Ireland, and in 2009, the figure had increased dramatically to 30%.
Author: Noel Hyndman and Ciaran ConnollySummary: Over the last 25 years, numerous changes have occurred in the public sector in the Republic of Ireland (RoI) and UK. Collectively, these adjustments have been referred to as New Public Management (NPM) and are viewed as ways of improving planning, controlling, transparency and accountability. In tandem with NPM reforms, many governments around the world have made the transition from cash to accruals accounting, a move which facilitates comparisons with private sector providers of public services.
Summary: The Business Compass brings together seven practical perspectives on business ethics from accountants with experience of working in various sectors of the economy including practice, industry, the public sector, academe, banking and international non-governmental organisations.
Authors: John Doran, Margaret Healy, Maeve McCutcheon and Steve O'CallaghanSummary: Enabling student learning via case-based teaching in large classes can challenge many educators. This article documents one example of addressing those challenges, describing how the authors structured the learning activities and assessment tasks.
Authors: John Doran, Margaret Healy, Maeve McCutcheon and Steve O'CallaghanSummary: This short research paper answers the question: How can we ensure that students using cases in large classes prepare the case in advance, work collectively, make meaningful contributions, ask questions of each other, participate in large class discussions....AND... achieve a valuable learning experience?
Author: Geraldine Robbins Summary: Accounting in Irish Hospitals: Contradictions and Tensions explores the developments in accounting that have/have not coincided with changes in management practices in four Irish hospitals, situated across two former Health Board areas.
A report issued today by Chartered Accountants Ireland and Praesta Ireland outlines the results of a survey of Irish business leaders, including Irish Chartered Accountants and reveals that many organisations have responded to business and reputation risk by investing in ethics training programmes and codes of conduct, a policy frequently driven from the top.

Canada's Mike Weir held a two shot lead from Sweden's Peter Hanson after round one of The US Open Championship at Bethpage Black.
As the course dried out following the torrential downpours that brought a premature halt to proceedings on the opening day, the late-starting half of the draw found birdies much easier to come by as they finally got their first round under way.
And Weir, who won the Masters Tournament in 2003, fired eight birdies in a stunning round of 64 – one outside the US Open record.
His only blemish came on the par four sixth, his 15th hole, where he ran up a double bogey six.
Hanson, who memorably qualified for the tournament with a hole in one in a play-off at Walton Heath, picked up four shots in his opening ten holes after starting his round at the tenth.
Dropped shots at the fifth and seventh saw the 31 year old slip down the field, but he fought back superbly – with accurate approach play leading to birdies at the eighth and ninth.
Remarkably, Hanson admitted he may have been forced to withdraw from the event had rain not kept him off the course on day one.
"I was very lucky yesterday that the rain came in because something tweaked in my neck on Wednesday and I couldn't have played," he said.
"It was really bad for 24 hours, but they have been great in the physio truck. I have been given some stretches and treatments and it feels fine now.
"It was so nice to get those last two birdies at the end because five and seven are such tough holes and I didn't manage to get up and down there, so to stiff my last two approaches to eight and nine was a great feeling.
I haven't seen many leaderboards out there but it feels pretty good to be up near the top."
Todd Hamilton, David Duval and Ricky Barnes were one behind Hanson on three under, with fellow American Rocco Mediate a further shot back following a round of 68.
Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell, who completed his opening round much earlier in the day, was among a group of seven players on one under, together with world number two Phil Mickelson and Australia's Adam Scott.
Ian Poulter and Johan Edfors were also among the early starters and put themselves in contention by each posting 70.
They were later joined on level par by a host of European Tour members, including Spain's Sergio Garcia, Denmark's Soren Hansen and English duo Ross Fisher and Oliver Wilson.
Defending champion Tiger Woods dropped four shots in his final four holes for a total of 74, the same score as playing partner and Masters Tournament champion Angel Cabrera.
Three-time Major winner Padraig Harrington, who was grouped with Woods and Cabrera, also struggled and ended his first round on six over.
But Northern Ireland youngster Rory McIlroy finished with three successive birdies on his US Open debut, giving him a score of 72.
The 20 year old said: "The three birdies in a row certainly helped – I really needed it because the round was looking like it could be 76 or 77."
The late starters enjoyed only a short break following their rounds as they had to go back out to start their second 18 holes in a bid to get the championship back on schedule.
However, McIlroy was keen to return to the course, adding: "We have definitely got the good side of the draw and you have to take advantage of that.
"The front nine is supposed to be the one where you can make a score so I want to try and go out there and take advantage and get to even par or one under for the tournament."

But Irwin, you don't have to do anything to be a psycho! Strange powers, on the other hand, take years of skill to perfect. | |

Does the juxtaposition inherent in in the picture imply something about Stephin Merritt's sometimes inscrutable mental state? | |

Wed. 11/3/10 3:10pm
Duet or overdub? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 3:12pm
Matt from Springfield:
Overdub, courtesy of Jody's production. Uhhhh, I would hope it isn't a duet. There is only ONE Lady - Amanda. If there were two, one would be the corresponding Anti-manda, which I hope doesn't exist in this dimension... | |
Wed. 11/3/10 3:15pm

Laura L:
The new Clientele is splendid--thanks, Irwin. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 3:24pm
Matt from Springfield:
Very cool new Clientele for sure, Laura! Why is it a mini-LP, it has 8 songs. Some are only a minute but 26 mins easily makes an EP. Maybe they preferred "mini-LP" to "double-EP". | |
Wed. 11/3/10 3:36pm
I like "It came from You." maybe positive reinforcement might help. | |

Two Pink Floyd tunes (almost) from FMU in one day? Did the world stop spinning or something? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 3:53pm
Matt from Springfield:
I'd love to see MB live, have to see if he's coming to the DC area... His events wouldn't be under-attended if we ALL crammed into the same show! (Or, if you play his music to your friends, make them go too!) | |
Wed. 11/3/10 3:57pm
Matt from Springfield:
"Pram,", with the comma eh? Are they the Plastic Ono Band's opening act? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 4:01pm
Denise in DC:
Matt, I never realized that your Springfield is the one in Virginia! I will gladly be one of the persons cramming an MB show, or any other show where DC-area 'FMU fans will gather. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 4:03pm
Matt from Springfield:
There's so many WFMU listeners from the area (yourself, dc pat, Chris from DC, etc) or grew up in the area, we should coordinate for DC-area shows of 'FMU favorites! | |
Wed. 11/3/10 4:05pm

Btw, DJ Julie once wondered which "Springfield" it was, I told her I was a few blocks over from Evergreen Terrace. | |

Wed. 11/3/10 4:09pm
the ONLY Aztec Camera | |

Mike East:
I consider it a tragedy that I don't own any Roky Erickson. I saw that documentary about him last year. That dude is no bullshit. I need to remedy this situation as soon as I have some extra cash. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 4:21pm
I am listening to the show today live. feels good. better than archived at another time and day. the thing about the archives rather than live, though, is that you can dedicate the time to pay attention to the whole show. listening live may miss some things. glad there is a playlist. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 4:21pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Irwin: Know anything about Tienerkoor? That was to the tune of Cliff Richard's "Congratulations" (a Eurovision song), and at first I thought they were singing the German birthday chant "Hoch soll Sie leben", Long May You Live. I think that version is Dutch. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 4:23pm
Matt from Springfield:
@marq: Better still, listen live with enjoyment (and chat with the wonderful listener community!), and then backtrack to parts you missed in the Archives, or listen to a great or missed show. In a perfect world I would have time for both! | |
Wed. 11/3/10 4:34pm
I don't often get a chance to listen to most of the shows I like live. Maybe at some point I can afford an Iphone and be able to listen to wfmu all over the place. The ham radio signal only comes in at certain times of the day and it is hard to lug that thing around and also find the electricity for it. | |

Matt from Springfield:
I've got enough trouble rockin' out to Irwin while pretending to work, now the comments section is feeling neglected? All right, comments section, but you're going to be getting a lot of pseudonyms and in-jokes as well! Can't chat with you as myself all the time you know! | |

Peanut Gallery:
During a USO tour by a number of baseball players in 1944, Joe "Ducky" Medwick was among several individuals given an audience by Pope Pius XII. Upon being asked by the Pope what his vocation was, Medwick replied, "Your Holiness, I'm Joe Medwick. I, too, used to be a Cardinal." | |

Why does Wikipedia say: Tandyn Almer (born July 30, 1942 in Hennepin County, Minnesota) is a musician, composer, lyricist, and record producer, most famous for writing the song "Along Comes Mary", the 1966 hit by the Association. ??? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:19pm
Please god!! No more Amanda!!! | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:20pm
Joe Bacon:
Ah, a second helping of Amanda! | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:20pm
The more I hear of it, "Empires and Fifth Dimension Perspective" is Amanda's Rubber Soul. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:20pm
and who is this Amanda and where can we find her? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:21pm
is this available on 8-track? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:21pm
Matt from Springfield:
I and others probably have wondered, Jandek: have you ever thought of collaborating with this performer, Amanda? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:21pm
LMAO! "Let's JUMP... on a parking meter!" | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:21pm
Amanda, you haunt my dreams! | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:22pm
Amanda, alas, is way too instinctually talented to fit my um style. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:22pm
What the hell did Amanda's parents think? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:22pm
Matt from Springfield:
@David: with this sped-up tape and guitar solo, "Fashion from Limbo" sounds like Amanda's Tomorrow Never Knows. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:22pm
Matt, you;'re RIGHT! LOL | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:23pm
Is this Amanda like retarded or something? No seriously, I want to know. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:23pm
What did I miss? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:24pm
@ Peteski: Nothing. Everything. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:24pm
She's a straight up genius. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:24pm
More like a savant every day | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:25pm
Yea, she's a tard man... | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:25pm
Matt from Springfield:
Brilliant segue, Irwin! @Jandek: I suppose that you feel like going "against" any type of grain then! Even when the grain is beyond the norm. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:25pm
I need her on my iPod. Really really bad. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:26pm
I'm just totally clueless. Don't overthink it. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:26pm
Matt from Springfield:
Behold, David: the latest Amanda convert and Fan Club member. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:28pm
Matt from Springfield:
@Jandek: Whatever you're doing, keep doing it. You know, Irwin needs 52 new albums and mailers--I noticed his office is missing them. Be sure to send Irwin some. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:29pm
Don't doubt me, dude. He needs more clutter to vacuum. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:34pm
Amanda is a modern day Capt. Beefheart | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:34pm
People that do not like Amanda are extremely suspicious. I think they hate America. They hate our freedom. | |

Diggin' this new bed music! What is it? | |

Wed. 11/3/10 5:46pm
Can't tell you. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:46pm
Listener John:
If anyone is interested, Amanda has a MySpace page. And there are some videos of her on youtube (maybe somebody mentioned that above). I been trying to figure out if she is the same person as Amanda Bynes, a young comic who used to be on something called "The Amanda Show." As you can tell, I've been doing random interweb searches . . . | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:49pm
Listener John:
Apropos of Caetano Veloso: Did you all ever notice that all the sophisticated people listen to Brazilian music? It seems that way to me. NB: I can't tell a samba from a bossa nova either . . . | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:51pm
Matt from Springfield:
@LJ: As a sophisticated person, I can tell you I was once really into old bossa nova stuff when I was about 20. | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:52pm
Bossa nova was a certain version or offshoot of traditional samba, just like rock has all kinds of offshoot genres. This is a mournful lyric about a mysterious woman, who'd guess huh? | |
Wed. 11/3/10 5:57pm
Mike East:
This has been an excellent show, Irwin. Now its time that I catch the 194 back to Jersey. Good evening to you all! | |
