Kenneth Lay Dies of Heart Disease at 64
HOUSTON -- Enron Corp. founder Kenneth Lay gave his role in the scandal that enveloped him and his company the most final ending possible.
The ever-optimistic former business visionary whose reputation shattered in 2001 along with the one-time energy trading giant faced decades in prison _ essentially a life sentence for someone a year away from qualifying for Medicare.
.The Case Against Direct Revenue
Long before New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer picked up Direct Revenue's scent, a few Internet watchdogs spent years tracking the Manhattan-based outfit. Although Direct Revenue's business would soar, the persistence of these amateur sleuths helped raise awareness about some of Direct Revenue's less-visible practices. .
The Burryman comes to town
What appears to be an accident between a man, a big jar of honey and a gorse bush wanders round and round collecting money and getting drunk. It could only happen in Scotland.
The Burryman is an ancient tradition, dating back at least 900 years, and is said to bring luck to the yearly fair. During the day, a local man is dressed in a full body costume made of flannel, before completely covering himself in burrs – (the hooked fruits of Arctium Lappa and Arctium Minus, to be precise). The Burryman must collect all these burrs himself, as well as flowers and ferns to decorate his costume. Once covered in his Arctium suit, the Burryman finishes off the ensemble with a flower-covered bowler hat, a flag cummerbund and two staves of flowers. It is a sight to be seen.
This will be John Nicol, a 32-year-old graphic designer's eighth year as the Burryman, a job he concedes few people would want to do, but which he considers an honour.
