so the scoop is he is average .
he recently moved out of bandwidth 6 weeks ago and back into continental power trading - why he is moving again after 6 weeks . is it a problem with the business or him ?
he worked for marcello romano ( head of bandwidth trading in europe ) as john knows . marcello says he is a solid hard worker who has no edge . if marcello were to run uk gas again he wouldn ' t take him - as he is not sharp . so he wouldn ' t bother to move him across the atlantic if it costs a lot .
your call . ring marcello for more information .

"::::No, the Schofield text rarely makes claims of the ""first"" sort. That is one of its major problems, actually. It doesn't effectively place Priestley in his historical milieu. I had to rely on other sources, such as Tapper to do that. Most of the generalized statements about Priestley's importance do not come from Schofield. I would not rely on the JP: A Comet in the System book. It is not the most reliable text we have (see publication information) and citing a dissertation is, sad to say, not the first line of defense. I already listed that Schofield quote above, which shows Priestley's indebtedness to other eighteenth-century thinkers. That list is more reliable, in my opinion.
I agree that Schofield is partial to Priestley. It was kind of frustrating, actually, because it was the most complete account of Priestley there was. | talk

best regards ,
jaime williams
steve sent you a breifing on the vitro plant , in case the topic it comes up :
the following is a brief bullet point description of the monterrey cogeneration plant to incorporate intom the information you are send louise in preparation for the conference tomorrow .
* 245 mw cogeneration facility located in garcia , nuevo leon ( about 20 miles west of monterrey ) .
* natural gas fired ge 7 fa gas turbine is the anchor piece of equipment used at the facility .
* commercial operations set for october 31 , 2002 .
* power purchasers are vitro ( 110 mw ) , imsa ( 90 mw ) , and apasco ( 40 mw ) under 15 year ppas .
* vitro subsidiary alcali to be supplied 210 tons per hour of steam under a 15 year spa .
* transmission and distribution of the electricity to be provided by the cfe .
* natural gas to be provided by pgpb ( pemex ) .
* financing provided by the inter - american development bank .
* major equipment foundations have been completed at the construction site , and equipment is beginning to be placed on the foundations .
* the offtakers of energy from this plant are expected to save over us $ 400 mm over the term of the 15 year agreements
a couple of other things to note are to the extent the project comes up , all enron people should refer to the project as the monterrey cogeneration plant and not the vitro plant so as not to diminish imsa and apasco , and to the extent we are questioned on the sell - down of the equity the response there is that initiative , while not finalized , is being pursued to manage enron ' s balance sheet and that enron will continue to maintain a significant equity interest in the facility . | scam | en |

What are you talking about? What you did is the fill-in-the-blank question:
Gusuku ... often refers to castles or fortresses in ______ that feature stone walls.
And your answer is ""the Ryukyu Islands."" That's wrong in the sense that we wouldn't say, ""We speak Germanic"" when we actually speak English. Castles or fortresses that feature stone walls are typical of Okinawa. Applying the term to other island groups is highly problematic to say the least.
Narratives about gusuku are truly chaotic. No wonder you don't understand the situation correctly. No one can define the meaning of gusuku, which reminds me of family resemblance. What's why I avoided the ""A is B"" definition and used ""A often refers to B"" in the article. Explaining many conflicting theories as I did in the article is confusing. So I present just one hypothesis which I personally support:
The word gusuku originally meant stone walls that, say, partitioned agricultural fields. In other words, the word gusuku was not associated with castles. This meaning survives in Yaeyama.
There has been a long tradition of mountain cult. At first, the word gusuku was not associated with mountain cult.
In Amami, medieval mountain fortifications, that are typical of mainland Japan, were constructed, probably in response to Ryūkyū's repeated invasions. At this stage, the word gusuku was not associated with these mountain fortifications.
In Okinawa, some sacred mountains were later fortified with stone walls. One consequence of the fusion of mountain cult and fortification was the association of the word gusuku with mountain cult and/or fortification. The association of gusuku with stonework was weakened, but anyway Okinawa's castles and fortresses had stone walls.
Ryūkyū finally conquered Amami and introduced the noro ritual system to Amami. The new meanings of gusuku (1. related to mountain cult, 2. fortification) were also introduced to Amami. Most of the former medieval mountain fortifications were abandoned, but some were transformed into sacred places and given the name of gusuku even though they lacked stone walls. Some people of Amami might have interpreted the word gusuku as fortifications regardless of whether they had stone walls. Others reinterpreted the word as a sacred place regardless of whether it had stone walls. For this reason, some gusuku are on sand dunes, on cliff edges, and in caves.
Archaeologists of Okinawa Prefecture re-used the word gusuku as a technical term (yet another meaning). This was the source of confusion. They referred to Okinawa's castles and fortresses that feature stone walls as gusuku. They met fierce oppositions from folklorists because their use of gusuku was not grounded in people's actual usages.
Some archaeologists of Okinawa Prefecture attempted to extend the gusuku-as-fortifications framework to Amami, Miyako and Yaeyama, regardless of whether local people referred to the target as gusuku (The remains of human settlements of Yaeyama are not called gusuku by local people either). They met fierce oppositions not only from folklorists but also from fellow archaeologists.
It is convenient to consider a dichotomy between inductive and deductive reasoning. Linguists, folklorists and ethnologists base their arguments on people's actual usages and try to infer a generalized conclusion from them. By contrast, archaeologists often define a term, independently of people's actual usages, and apply it to those which meet the definition. Due to lack of written materials, archaeologists need to name archaeological findings by themselves. So they naturally clash with scholars from other disciplines.
It is important to note that the gusuku-as-fortifications framework (that's what the lead sentence says) is no longer supported in the archaeology of the Amami Islands. The renaming of so-called ""Uragami Gusuku"" was a symbolic event. A gusuku is a gusuku only because people refer to it as such. It's not because the referent meets some definition. In Amami, gusuku (as a technical term) is dead, long live gusuku (as to people's actual usages)! " | toxic | en |

:: Luther also showed quite an affinity for classical literature, Roman, Greek and Christian. Early on, he also expressed an appreciation of intellectual freedom. While you have a right to your opinion, I see Luther quite a bit differently than ""doctrinare, intolerant and provincial"" Probably the quickest way to demonstrate this is to refer you to Luther's words themselves: especially ""Freedom of a Christian,"" ""to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation,"" and ""A Prelude on the Babylonian Captivity of the Church."" I also can recommend to you several books on the subject of Luther and Humanism, if you'd like. " | toxic | en |

We never state that there was a ""sex game."" the sex game is refered to twice - once ""Judge Micheli, who conducted the hearing on the indictment of Knox and Sollecito, dismissed as “fantasy” prosecutor Mignini's claims that the sex game in which Kercher is alleged to have died was inspired by Satanic rites, Halloween rituals or violent Japanese ‘manga’ comics about dead vampires,"" and once ""Subsequently, at the commencement of the trial, prosecutor Mignini presented a theory that the murder was motivated by a sex game turned violent."" Neither of these statements state that the game happened - in one the allegation is ""dismissed as fantasy"" by a judge, and in the other it is put in the mouth of the person who said it.

Using newspaper reports, especially those several years old, is usually not a good idea with articles like that. We need to see what the professionals have said about these. The decades old mastodon/tool find is a good example, see. Does anyone disagree that to use this we need to report what peer reviewed studies say? This mentions the Delmarva claims but not Solutrean, do Bradford etc discuss it in a source we can use?
Also WP:LEAD makes it clear that the lead is a summary of the article, it shouldn't contain anything significant not discussed in the article. | toxic | en |

December 26 '07 changes
Certain additions were made on 26th December, which I'm afraid I have felt obliged to remove, for the following reasons:
1) In the section on the Sonnets, the insertion of the comment about Sonnet 86 is in my view unnecessary, as well as turning the paragraph into gibberish. In order to achieve a NPOV we have already removed two paragraphs on the apparent relevance of various other sonnets to the theory, and this one is far less appropriate than most of those which were deleted at that time.
2) The graph showing the time spans of various authorship candidates is relevant to the article on the Shakespeare authorship question as a whole, but in my opinion adds little of value to this article, the thrust of which is to explain the reasons why Marlovians believe that Marlowe survived 1593 and made a major contribution to Shakespeare's works, and not why anyone else did not.
3) The opening paragraph of the ""External Evidence"" section up to ""Shakespeare's grave etc."" was written as a counter to the argument of whole ""Marlowe's Death"" section. To then add a counter to that is illogical, even if it had had something to do with external evidence, which it doesn't, and wasn't so obviously written by someone whose first language is not English.

*Hi Lancevortex, the policy is stated at International_phonetic_alphabet#Wikipedia_usage and SAMPA#Wikipedia_usage. Personally I like the policy because SAMPA is a total pain to read. Editing with the IPA is a lot easier if you do the editing in Microsoft Word vel sim. and then paste into Wikipedia. There's also WikiTeX if you know how to use it (I don't).
:: Readability is a matter of opinion, I guess. That said, I must confess I didn't realise that SAMPA was merely a hack; I suppose that's why I've never seen it anywhere but Wikipedia. Thanks for piquing my interest and making me actually find out about what I was arguing for. I'm converted just wish I had an IPA keyboard. | toxic | en |

They are not ""my"" jokes, they belong to the Bektashi culture. I provided links to many websites they are full of samples of these jokes. All of these websites are devoted to the Bektashi culture. They wouldn't put them there if they were ""inappropriate"" or irrelevant to their culture. I don't know what you know about Bektashi culture, but if this whole thing is about those stories being not confirmant of what you understand from religion, you don't have any right to censor them. Because this is our culture, this is our understanding of religion, and we will not let our way of looking at things suppressed anymore. I will also include a section about Bektashi poetry in there, and probably you won't be able to stand what's in that poetry as they will not obey your understanding of religion. Will you then tell me ""there is no place for poetry in an article about religion?"" This is what Bektashi culture is about, and this kind of censorship is unacceptable. " | toxic | en |

Anyway, I really do hope you decide to stick around for a bit at least. There is so much more work to be done on Cuban-related articles and to be quite honest because of the political situation in Cuba there is extreme partisanship from both sides that tends to make editing such articles a difficult task. I find you to be one of the few rational people whom I find editing such articles and losing that will be a big loss. Anyway, happy new year. | toxic | en |

You don't get to delete RS just because you don't like them. Want to censor? Move to North Korea. When you get there, I'll even airdrop a certain current movie you won't like either. But let me define a coward for you: A coward is an editor who willfully misinterprets and/or simply ignores several WP policies to push his own POV, and then, when ""some random IP"", calls out his not even subtle game - and he knows he can't defend himself - he runs, like a 5 yr old, to an admin, because the mean ""IP"" wouldn't let him have his way.

I actually did intentionally remove the sub-brigades of the Zintanis because there are too many different militias involved in the conflict and if we keep adding all of them the list will be a mess. As for the brackets you added for the Libyan National Army on each side, then yes, you were right. I didn't notice that and you did well by adding them, apologies. You also did an excellent job in the background and the following sections, but I would really appreciate it if you cited some of the info you added. Thanks, | toxic | en |

Factual errors in Nelson and Pearson
The egregious factual errors in Pearson's book on Oxford's wardship and finances are explicated in detail in Christopher Paul's article in The Oxfordian cited in the references for this article. Nelson openly admits he merely followed Pearson concerning Oxford's wardship and finances, thus compounding Pearson's errors. There are also a myriad of factual errors on topics other than Oxford's wardship and finances in Nelson's book. And although Nelson does not always openly credit his source, even a cursory examination of his book establishes that he largely follows Ward's earlier biography of Oxford. In consequence, the only accurate source of factual information on Oxford's wardship and finances and a number of other topics is primary source documents, and an earlier Wikipedia editor approved my citation of them at the time I edited the article some months ago. These primary source documents themselves, along with transcripts of hundreds of other documents mentioning Oxford, are readily available in modern-spelling transcripts at www.oxford-shakespeare.com/documents.html, so no user of Wikipedia need go to an archive to determine what the primary source documents actually say. The complete removal, in recent weeks, of my hours of work in accurately sourcing statements in the Edward de Vere article constituted vandalism as vandalism is defined by Wikipedia.

the wall street journal online
stocks rallied sharply monday despite the widening anthrax scare , as a batch of better - than - expected quarterly earnings reports cheered investors .
the dow jones industrial average gained 172 . 92 , or 1 . 9 % , to close at 9377 . 03 after gaining 40 . 89 points friday . the nasdaq composite index rose 36 . 75 , or 2 . 2 % , to 1708 . 06 after climbing 18 . 59 points in the previous session .
other major stock indexes gained ground monday . the standard & poor ' s 500 - stock index added 16 . 42 to 1089 . 90 , the new york stock exchange composite index rose 7 . 13 to 561 . 45 , and the russell 2000 index gained 4 . 80 to 430 . 50 .
bonds were mixed and the dollar strengthened .
the stock market ' s gains were tempered briefly by news that a postal worker in washington , d . c . , was diagnosed with anthrax contracted by inhalation . additionally , two other postal workers in washington have died and their deaths are being investigated to determine if they died of that same ailment .
but stocks took the anthrax reports in stride , suggesting a new and surprising level of confidence among market participants , some analysts said monday . " the market is really shrugging off this news , " said mark donahoe , a managing director at u . s . bancorp piper jaffray .
upbeat earnings news from american express , released monday afternoon , seemed to give stocks an additional lift .
investors may be shifting their focus away from concerns about anthrax exposure and u . s . military maneuvers in afghanistan to take a closer look at quarterly earnings results , said steven kroll sr . , managing director at monness , crepsi & hardt .
the uncertainty on the global front " looks like it is going to be a long , drawn - out affair , " mr . kroll said . " i think stocks will revert back to being earnings - driven . "
although dismal by ordinary standards , last week ' s flood of quarterly earnings reports got a reasonably upbeat reception from investors , who seem to have approached them with extremely low expectations . " the markets acted pretty well last week in light of some very ugly earnings , " said mr . donahoe of u . s . bancorp . that resilience might be giving hope to investors this week , he added .
still , investors will be carefully sifting through quarterly results in the coming week to get a fix on how the fourth quarter is shaping up , mr . kroll argued .
third - quarter earnings showed several pockets of strength on monday , with big companies such as minnesota mining and manufacturing and u . s . steel posting results that met or topped analysts ' estimates .
the dow industrials got an additional boost shortly after 2 p . m . edt when index component american express reported earnings that , excluding certain items , beat wall street previously lowered estimates .
the financial - services concern posted net income of $ 298 million , or 22 cents a share , down 60 % from $ 737 million , or 54 cents a share , a year earlier . excluding charges related to a corporate restructuring and the september 11 attacks , american express said it would have earned $ 595 million , or 45 cents a share , for the latest quarter . analysts had been expecting earnings of 30 cents a share , according to thomson financial / first call .
shares of american express surged after the quarterly earnings release , closing up 3 . 4 % at $ 30 . 32 .
chip stocks helped lead the nasdaq composite higher , with the philadelphia semiconductor index gaining 5 . 4 % . the rally seemed to be a continuation of friday ' s gains in the sector , sparked by positive earnings news from kla - tencor .
u . s . steel , the nation ' s no . 1 steelmaker , said it swung to a third - quarter loss from a profit a year earlier , hurt by oversupply and a weak economy . but excluding charges related to the closure of one mill and damage at another , u . s . steel said its loss was much narrower than what was forecast by analysts surveyed by thomson financial / first call . shares of u . s . steel rose 9 . 7 % to $ 14 . 74 .
investors also sent 3 m shares nearly 5 % higher after the maker of chemical and adhesive products squeaked by wall street estimates , despite a 21 % decline in net income . and oil producers conoco and usx - marathon group handily beat analysts ' forecasts .
but not all the earnings news was cheery . local phone company sbc communications recorded net income that was slightly below estimates . shares of sbc , a component of the dow industrials , fell 5 . 1 % to $ 41 . 40 .
meanwhile , the outlook for corporate profits in the fourth quarter seems discouraging , some analysts noted . on monday , 3 m guided wall stret ' s earnings expectations lower for the upcoming quarter , and a top executive at u . s . steel told analysts that the company ' s fourth quarter would be " difficult . "
companies " are meeting third quarter expectations , but they are talking down the fourth quarter , " said mr . kroll of monness crespi & hardt . he said that some of the rise in monday ' s markets might be a carryover from friday ' s buying activity related to the expiration of u . s . stock option and index option contracts , an event known as " double witching . "
one of the hardest - hit stocks on monday was enron , an energy concern that said that the securities and exchange commission was seeking information about certain complex transactions it undertook with a limited partnership organized by its chief financial officer . shares of enron plunged 21 % to $ 20 . 65 .
overseas , stocks closed higher . london ' s financial times - stock exchange 100 - share index gained 1 . 1 % , while frankfurt ' s xetra dax index rose 2 % . earlier in the day , japan ' s nikkei 225 average closed with a gain of 0 . 3 % , but hong kong ' s hang seng index ended 0 . 3 % lower .
in economic news , the conference board reported that its index of leading indicators for the month fell 0 . 5 % in september , matching the estimates of economists surveyed by thomson global markets . the index - - a composite of measurements aimed at forecasting likely changes in the economy - - included some data gathered after the sept . 11 attacks .
the decline , which was the index ' s largest one - month drop since january 1996 , confirmed that the widespread weakness in the u . s . economy is deepening , the conference board said . falling stock prices and rising initial unemployment claims were two of the index components that contributed most negatively to the september reading .
in august , the leading - indicators index slipped 0 . 1 % , less than the previous estimate of a 0 . 3 % decline . even so , the back - to - back declines paint a bleak economic picture , said conference board economist ken goldstein .
the two - month decline in the index suggests that the already - weak economy is likely to remain weak into next year , mr . goldstein said . the overall reading from these numbers indicates that manufacturing and services are experiencing a significant slowdown .
in major u . s . market action :
stocks rose . on the big board , where 1 . 09 billion shares were traded , 1 , 813 stocks rose and 1 , 291 fell . on the nasdaq , 1 . 49 billion shares changed hands .
bonds were mixed . the 10 - year treasury note rose less than 1 / 16 point monday , or 62 . 5 cents for each $ 1 , 000 invested . the yield , which moves inversely to its price , fell to 4 . 618 % . the 30 - year bond fell 1 / 16 point to yield 5 . 364 % .
the dollar rose . the dollar bought 122 . 56 yen , compared with 121 . 20 yen late friday . the euro traded at 89 . 18 u . s . cents , down from 89 . 84 cents late friday .

usa : update 3 - sec looks into enron deals , stock slides 20 pct .

reuters english news service
( c ) reuters limited 2001 .
new york , oct 22 ( reuters ) - shares of enron corp . slumped more than 20 percent on monday after it said u . s . regulators are looking into company transactions , another blow to a company whose chief executive resigned in august .
a spokesman for north america ' s biggest buyer and seller of natural gas and electricity declined to discuss an inquiry by the u . s . securities exchange commission , but said it was cooperating . the sec also declined to outline details of its inquiry .
investor confidence in the company has been rocked by reports from the wall street journal about its relationship with two limited partnerships that were run until recently by enron ' s chief financial officer , andrew fastow . the company also reported last week its first quarterly loss in more than four years , and took $ 1 . 01 billion in charges and writedowns on ill - fated investments .
problems at enron surfaced two months ago when ceo jeff skilling resigned after only six months at the helm .
enron shares declined $ 5 . 49 , or 21 percent , to $ 20 . 56 in monday afternoon trade on the new york stock exchange , shaving off almost $ 4 . 2 billion of its market capitalization . the stock , the biggest decliner by percentage loss on the nyse , fell as much as 22 . 8 percent on monday , when it opened at its lowest level since september 1998 .
shares declined 23 percent last week after the journal ran its first story about the limited partnerships on wednesday .
enron declined to comment on whether the sec ' s inquiry into " certain related party transactions " involved the partnerships .
" related party transactions " is the heading used by enron in its 1999 and 2000 annual reports to discuss dealings with its limited partnerships , ljm cayman lp and the larger ljm 2 co - investment lp , which engaged in complex hedging transactions involving company assets worth hundreds of millions of dollars .
fastow severed his ties to the partnerships in june . ljm was set up in june 1999 for energy - related investments , and ljm 2 in december 1999 for energy - and communication - related investments .
the journal reported $ 35 million of its third - quarter loss of $ 638 million were connected with the limited partnerships
curt launer , an analyst at credit suisse first boston , said investors should question enron ' s use of real value accounting when the value of certain assets , " most notably in telecommunications , " have declined precipitously .
" investors have had several opportunities to question enron ' s credibility and at each of those turns the share price has declined , " launer said .
some analysts , though , cautioned against assuming fire when there might only be smoke .
" this is an inquiry , not an investigation , and i cannot imagine enron ' s attorneys or accountants would allow it do to something illegal , " said merrill lynch analyst donato eassey .
" it ' s easy for the market to kick a company when its down , but these challenges do not last for a solid company , and we think enron is one . "
shares in the company are down 75 percent this year .

houston ( ap ) - shares of enron corp . plunged more than 20 percent monday after the energy trading giant said the securities and exchange commission had sought information company ' s transactions with limited partnerships , which were managed by an enron senior officer .
in a statement , enron said it had provided the regulatory agency with information in response to an inquiry last week .
" we welcome this request , " enron chairman and chief executive officer kenneth l . lay said in a statement monday . " we will cooperate fully with the sec and look forward to the opportunity to put any concern about these transactions to rest . "
investors were upset by the news , however , sending shares of enron down dlrs 5 . 30 to dlrs 20 . 75 in heavy trading on the new york stock exchange .
the transactions took place in 1999 and 2000 , according to houston - based enron ' s 2000 annual report . they resulted in a dlrs 16 million pre - tax gain to enron in 1999 and a dlrs 36 million loss in 2000 .
enron officials declined to provide details about the transactions or name the limited partnerships , instead referring questions to a section of the annual report on related party transactions .
" enron entered into transactions with ( limited partnerships ) to hedge certain merchant investments and other assets , " according to the section in the annual report .
enron spokesman mark palmer said the sec first contacted enron last week and described the request is an " informal inquiry . "
" this is not an investigation , " he said . " we see the request as an opportunity to put this issue behind us . "
sec spokesman john heine said he could not comment on the filings . " we can ' t confirm or deny that type of activity , " heine said .
the electricity marketer and natural gas provider says both internal and external auditors and attorneys reviewed the related party arrangements , the company ' s board was fully informed of and approved the arrangements , and they were disclosed in the company ' s sec filings .

new york ( afx ) - shares of enron corp were down sharply in late morning trade , after the securities and exchange commission requested the company to provide information on certain related - party transactions , prompting ag edwards to downgrade the stock to ' hold ' from ' buy ' , dealers said .
at 11 . 10 am , enron was down 4 . 29 usd , or 16 . 47 pct , at 21 . 76 . the djia was up 57 . 57 points at 9 , 261 . 68 , and the s & p 500 composite index was up 5 . 57 points at 1 , 079 . 05 .
in a statement this morning , enron confirmed that the sec had requested documents , and said it would " cooperate fully " with the commission .
however , the company did not give any details of the transactions concerned or of the reasons behind the sec ' s request .
according to ag edwards analyst mike heim , enron " significantly reduced " its equity to unroll a partnership arrangement with a partially - owned subsidiary formerly run by enron ' s chief financial officer .
" this arrangement , which was not discussed in past sec filings , has led to a growing distrust of the company by the financial community .
" in our opinion , the market is most likely overreacting to the news being disseminated over the last few days .
" however , we can give no assurances that all the problems at enron have been fully disclosed , " heim said .
in its statement this morning , enron said although its internal and external auditors and attorneys have reviewed the related - party arrangements , adding that the board was " fully informed of and approved these arrangements " , which were disclosed in the company ' s sec filings .
" we believe everything that needed to be considered and done in connection with these transactions was considered and done , " said chief executive kenneth lay .

enron shares slide as sec seeks information on deals with cfo ' s partnership

dow jones business news
( copyright ( c ) 2001 , dow jones & company , inc . )
houston - - shares of enron corp . slumped monday after the energy - trading concern said the securities and exchange commission has asked for information about " certain related party transactions , " including those between enron and a limited partnership organized by its chief financial officer .
enron promised to cooperate fully with the sec request and said in a prepared statement that it " welcomes " the request and looks forward to put " any concern about these transactions to rest . "
in 4 p . m . edt trading on the new york stock exchange , enron ( ene ) shares fell $ 5 . 40 , or 21 % , to $ 20 . 65 .
last week the wall street journal reported that a limited partnership organized by andrew fastow , enron ' s chief financial officer , made millions in profits in transactions with the firm . the story cited information reported in an internal partnership document .
enron also said last week it will repurchase up to 55 million shares that it had issued as part of transactions with ljm 2 co - investment lp , the limited partnership created by mr . fastow .
in addition , enron took a $ 1 . 01 billion charge in the third quarter , mostly connected with write - downs of bad investments , producing a loss of $ 618 million , or 84 cents a share . excluding charges , income was $ 393 million , or 43 cents a share , in the quarter .
the charge covers a wide range of items including costs related to the limited partnerships that were , until recently , by mr . fastow .
the company said the costs connected with the partnerships total $ 35 million and involve the early termination of " certain structured finance arrangements . "
the partnerships were set up two years ago , and while the company maintains that they are perfectly proper , some have suggested that it is a conflict of interest for enron ' s chief financial officer to be involved in a partnership that was looking to purchase enron assets , the journal reported .
the energy company said its auditors reviewed the arrangements and its board was fully informed and approved the deals , which were disclosed in sec filings .
" we believe everything that needed to be considered and done in connection with these transactions was considered and done , " enron chairman and chief executive kenneth lay said on monday .
separately , an enron shareholder filed a derivative lawsuit in texas court alleging enron ' s board breached its fiduciary duties to the company by allowing mr . fastow to create and run certain limited partnerships .
a law firm representing the unnamed shareholder said in a prepared statement that enron ' s board lost over $ 35 million by allowing mr . fastow to run these partnerships , which engaged in transactions with enron and presented a conflict of interest .
the suit alleges that the limited partnerships bought enron assets , permitting mr . fastow to use his inside knowledge of the company ' s financial condition to earn millions of dollars .

enron says sec asks about related - party transactions ( update 8 )
( adds in sixth paragraph that analyst estimates dissolving
affiliated companies would cost $ 3 billion . )
houston , oct . 22 ( bloomberg ) - - enron corp . ' s shares fell 21
percent after the houston - based company said the securities and
exchange commission requested information on partnerships run by
chief financial officer andrew fastow and other executives .
enron , the largest energy trader , created partnerships and
other affiliated companies to buy and sell assets such as power
plants to lower the debt on its books . an investor sued enron ' s
board wednesday , saying two partnerships cost the company $ 35
million and fastow ' s leadership of them was a conflict of
interest .
investors today said they were concerned that enron may be
forced to dismantle the affiliated companies by paying off the
owners in cash or stock . chief executive ken lay said last week he
may be have to ` ` unravel ' ' agreements that created the companies
if enron ' s debt ratings fall too far .
` ` we need confidence their long - term credit rating won ' t go
below investment grade , ' ' said roger hamilton , an analyst at john
hancock ' s value funds , which own 600 , 000 enron shares .
enron reduced shareholders ' equity by $ 1 . 2 billion when it
repurchased 55 million shares of two such partnerships controlled
by fastow , ljm cayman and lmj 2 co - investment , the wall journal
reported last week .
dismantling more of the affiliated companies and partnerships
would cost enron or its shareholders as much as $ 3 billion , ray
niles , a salomon smith barney analyst , wrote in a report to
investors today .
enron shares fell $ 5 . 40 to $ 20 . 65 . they touched $ 19 . 67 during
the day ' s trading , the lowest level since jan . 15 , 1998 .
shares plunge
the stock has fallen 75 percent this year amid concerns about
failed investments in trading of space on fiber - optic
communications networks and a water company , and the resignation
of jeff skilling as ceo in august after seven months on the job .
while skilling said he resigned for personal reasons ,
investors say his departure led them to question whether the
company was concealing problems , including possible liabilities
from affiliated companies .
on tuesday , enron surprised many investors when it reported a
$ 618 million third - quarter loss , the result of writing off $ 1 . 01
billion in failed investments .
moody ' s investors service placed the company ' s debt on watch
for possible downgrade . the company ' s debt is rated at investment
grade by fitch , standard & poor ' s and moody ' s .
the company received a faxed request for information from the
sec on wednesday asking for information , spokesman mark palmer
said , and will respond ` ` as soon as possible . ' '
` ` we will cooperate fully with the sec and look forward to
the opportunity to put any concern about these transactions to
rest , ' ' lay , who is also enron ' s chairman , said in a statement .
dilution fears
enron has formed at least 18 companies to serve as financing
vehicles for its projects , based on filings with the texas
secretary of state . fastow and other enron executives are named as
the controlling partners or the board members in the companies .
some have bought enron assets such as power plants , removing
the debt for those projects from enron ' s books . that allows enron
to keep cash earned from the main trading business from supporting
what it views as secondary businesses , standard & poor ' s debt
analyst todd shipman said .
enron brokers trades of electricity , natural gas and other
commodities as well as owns power plants and natural - gas
pipelines .
dismantling the affiliates would be costly . whitewing
management , an affiliated company that has bought 14 enron power
plants and lists fastow as managing director , holds 250 , 000
preferred shares of enron .
enron may have to convert the preferred shares to common
stock if share prices fall below a certain level and the credit
rating drops below investment grade , according to company filings .
that would dilute the value of common shareholders ' investment .
` ` the concern is how many of these dilutive structures are
out there ? ' ' shipman said . ` ` investors are worried they might have
to share their enron earnings with a lot more people than they
originally thought . ' '
worrisome financing
enron ' s auditors and attorneys reviewed the company ' s
` ` related party arrangements , ' ' the board approved them , and they
were disclosed in sec filings , enron said in its statement .
that hasn ' t eased concerns . the reduction of shareholder
equity by $ 1 . 2 billion from the ljm partnerships is reason to
worry about enron ' s other financing vehicles , wrote niles , the
salomon analyst . enron also may take another $ 2 . 4 billion in
losses from investments in the dabhol power plant in india and
projects in south america , he wrote .
enron ' s 8 percent coupon bonds due in 2005 fell $ 34 per
$ 1 , 000 face value to be offered at $ 1 , 022 today from $ 1 , 056 on
friday , traders said . yield on the debt rose to 7 . 33 percent from
6 . 33 percent .
based on bloomberg composite ratings , most of enron ' s long -
term debt is rated at bbb 2 and bbbl , two or three levels above
investment grade .
fastow continues to work , and enron hasn ' t punished him ,
palmer said . fastow declined to be interviewed , spokeswoman karen
denne said . sec spokesman john heine declined to comment on the
agency ' s request to enron .
` ` we believe everything that needed to be considered and done
in connection with these transactions was considered and done , ' '
lay said in the statement .

Two birds, one stone
Dear 206.186.8.130... I have been quite content to leave Dyukov described as a historian Novosti, the state news agency, trots out to dispute Baltic lies about history. (One of several of my edits deleted, each replaced by a more strident defense of Dyukov's credentials.) Given Dyukov's command of basic facts is worse than the factual improprieties he alleges in the film, he already commands far too much space devoted to his views. However, since English-speaking viewersto whom this encyclopedia is targetedget to see Dyukov quite often on ""Russia Today"" (Novosti's version of CNN or the BBC News), I'm supportive of leaving his commentary in (other editors have mass deleted it). Dyukov's spokesmanship as a historian ""specializing"" in Soviet history and in debunking, in particular, Baltic ""myths"" (he uses stronger words in his Novosti interviews) is notable whether I like it or not. However, his POV and role in the official Russian (not independent) media must remain in the article for his presence in the article to be understood and defended.
As for my ""principles"", they are to representing the parties and their relationships to their establishments accurately. It's obviously simpler to delete undiscussed POV anonymous IP edits as vandalism if they have no reasonable basis in actuality. But whether you register or not, whether you choose to reveal yourself or not, any edit that portrays Dyukov as a reputable historian and ignores his incestuous relationship with the Russian state media agency will continue to be deleted as totally POV.
Your tone of questions communicates to me a wish to be blunt. I'll be happy to oblige. Writing that Dyukov is a ""professional historian"" here and that he isn't should be discussed elsewhere amounts to nothing but asking the editors here to ignore facts and to lie under the pretext of ""NPOV."" — " | toxic | en |

"Hi. I appreciate your current efforts to add to the Tony Hendra article. Those efforts will be more successful if you do the following:
Review the following policy pages: Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view.
Explain the changes you're making in a brief form in the ""Edit Summary"" box you see in the edit form, just above the ""Save Page"" button, or in more detail on the Talk:Tony_Hendra page.
The approach you've taken so far (adding lots of information to the top of the article, then lots of blank space to force the original content way down the page) is problematic, because it represents an apparent effort to ""hide"" some of the information on the page. Wikipedia doesn't normally work that way.
Assuming you actually are Tony Hendra, I can understand your concerns with some of the current material in the article. The best way to move the Tony Hendra article in the direction you appear to want to move it would be to discuss the problems you have with the article on the Talk:Tony_Hendra page. For myself, I'd be happy to use some of the information you've been adding to flesh out the non-controversial parts of the article (though I would probably want to de-hype it a little to satisfy the Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view policy).
The material on the controversy with Jessica Hendra is more problematic. That controversy exists, and a case could be made that for good or ill it has come to be a significant part of your public notability. To the extent that's true, removing it from the article would be contrary to the interests of Wikipedia's readers, who expect to find relevant biographical information in a biographical article.
You might very well see the matter differently, and if so, you have every right to express that point of view, and to work with other editors to try to improve the article. To the extent we can arrive at some sort of an editorial consensus, though, it will help that improvement process work more smoothly. Discussing your concerns on the Talk:Tony_Hendra page would be a good way to work toward such a conensus.
Thanks. " | toxic | en |
I fully understand you explanations. You don't accept that in the symposium in Moscow they make comparisons between the Gotlandic astronomical calendars and Stonhenge. And this document is edited by 2 renowned professors and published by The Russian Academy of Sciences
According to you such a document can't be published on Wikimedia as you are one of the few remaining people (the rest are dead) who thought the grooves are from Iron Age when it is internationally accepted that it is astronomical calendars from the Stone Age | toxic | en |

You are arrogant, condecending and just plain rude and I consider you to be a despicable person for the way you've talked to me here. what the hell did I ever do to you? Did I act like BD on any apges I edited? Did I come on your talk apge nad lash into you? NO. All I did was DARE to stand up rto the RFC that was filed against BD and for THAT get the guns turned on ME. Vwery nice. Very tolerant. You should be proud of yourself. I did not deserve that and I consider it beneath even. If BD did that to you, you'd be posting it on his RFC SO FAST. You, sir, are a hipocrite. It was full of low blows and name calling mixed with MORE self important(I'm a professor blah blah blah). GOD, I have never met someone so FULL of themself. Althoug, now taht I know you're a professor, I shouldn't be surprised...I've only know a small number of profs who didn;t think they were better and smarter then everyone else. I don't want to have any contact with you ever again. Stay away from me and stay away from this talk apge from now on. If you do come back here or amke contact with me again I will consider it vandalism/harassment and act accordingly. GOOD BYE. (Kizz: you ARE still welcome, but please tone it down with me.

good morning ,
attached , please find the latest issue of our independent power weekly .
summary :
1 . ipps fall 3 . 7 % last week our ipp composite declined 3 . 7 % ,
underperforming both the s 2 . development activity slowing / value driven
m and , 3 . enron exposure .
4 . prevailing mood at eei : uncertainty versus last year ' s conference , the
prevailing mood at eei was one of uncertainty . given developments in the
equity market , commodity market and regulatory arenas , some investor concern
is not surprising . however , we remain positive on the prospects of the
owners and developers of power generation assets for 2 reasons : 1 . long - term
industry fundamentals remain intact ; and , 2 . current concerns are
discounted / ipps trading at 20 % below private market value .
5 . selectivity is important ; focus on the major ipps : highlighting cpn , mir
and nrg we continue to highlight calpine ( cpn , strong buy ) , mirant ( mir ,
buy ) and nrg energy ( nrg , buy ) . owing to their combination of geographic
diversification , large scale operations and substantial hedging , our
analysis indicates that these companies are best positioned to deliver
sustainable earnings and growth in the face of volatile power market
conditions . we believe the current environment should serve as a catalyst
to differentiate these companies from their peers .
6 . debt market update last week enron remained the focus of debt investor
attention , fueling a high level of trading activity for the ipps . credit
spreads continue to be negatively influenced by concerns regarding exposure
to enron .
regards ,

I'm sure there can be no doubt that Wikipedia is ambiguous about this. All of this is dodging the issue, though: All I wanted to know was whether you really, really want to have conflicting formats in that article (and if so, why), or if you would be happy to have them resolved in favour of one or the other.
