COVINGTON Newton County Fire Service firefighters braved the cold temperatures Monday morning to fight a fire on Hemlock Street in Porterdale.According to Assistant Chief Tim Smith, a call came from 14 Hemlock St. in Porterdale about 9:15 a.m. "The fire began in the laundry room in the area of the dryer," Smith said. "It appears to have been an accidental fire." Smith said residents were able to escape with no injuries, but the interior of the home was a total loss. He estimated the loss to be around $90,000, with $75,000 for the house and $15,000 for the contents. He said firefighters had to be careful as they began their cleanup as water used to fight the fire began freezing. "The temperatures really didn't hamper us fighting the fire, but we had to be extra careful because water began to freeze on a deck around back where we were walking. When it hit the surface, it froze within a matter of minutes," Smith said, adding that he checked ground temperature in the area Monday and found it to be 34 degrees. He said even though the cold temperatures did not contribute to this fire, the NCFS is urging residents to be cautious, especially when using auxiliary heating. "We're asking everyone to be extra careful right now, especially with space heaters or using a fireplace for warming the house," Smith said. "It looks like it's going to continue to be cold at night, and we're asking people to use extra caution."

Improving the Clarity of Auditing Standards
Improving the Clarity of Auditing Standards
Now is the time for auditors to prepare for the transition to the clarified standards, which are effective for calendar year 2012 audits. For example, new requirements may involve planning discussions with clients; some may affect interim testing and other fieldwork; and some require changes to the report. If your firm develops and maintains its own audit methodologies then you need to start now to be prepared. If your firm relies on commercially provided audit methodologies you still need to understand the underlying standards and requirements to ensure you use your methodology to complete audits as effectively and efficiently as possible while remaining compliant with the standards.
ASB Clarity Project
Harold Monk, former Chair of the ASB, and Ken Odom discuss AU-C section 600,
Special Considerations - Audits of Group Financial Statements (Including the Work of Component Auditors).
Additional information is available on AU-C section 600
Special Considerations - Audits of Group Financial Statements (Including the Work of Component Auditors)
at our dedicated
Group Audit page
The Auditing Standards Board (ASB) has redrafted almost all of the auditing sections in
Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards
(contained in AICPA
Professional Standards
) now reflecting the ASB's established clarity drafting conventions designed to make the standards easier to read, understand, and apply.
Among other improvements, generally accepted auditing standards (GAAS) now more clearly states the objectives of the auditor and the requirements with which the auditor has to comply when conducting an audit in accordance with GAAS.
As the ASB redrafted the standards for clarity, it also converged the standards with the International Standards on Auditing (ISAs), issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB). Although the purpose of redrafting the auditing standards is for clarity and convergence and not to create additional requirements, auditors will need to make some adjustments to their practices as a result of this project. The AICPA has developed a
Learning and Implementation Plan
to help you prepare for the transition.
The AICPA offers guidance and training on the Audit Clarity Standards, including:
Video Library

James Joyce's landmark novel Ulysses was the author's attempt to write the internal thoughts of his protagonist, Leopold Bloom. The book transcribes Bloom's thoughts as he goes about a typical day in Dublin on June 16th, 1904.
Joyce used a variety of literary devices to create a sort of claustrophobic stream-of-consciousness, something not unlike the disjointedness of most people's thoughts. It doesn't make for easy reading, in fact Ulysses is famous for being tricky.
Millions of people have started the book, only to put it aside after a hundred pages or so. They get bogged down in dense thickets of words, run-on paragraphs, seemingly nonsensical trains of thought.
Photo: Mark Duggan
James Joyce's Ulysses is a notoriously difficult read, but there is a Cliff Notes version.
But the book has developed a second life. Every year on June 16th - the day portrayed in the book - Joyce fans worldwide gather to read passages from it. In fact, some 'Bloomsday' celebrations, as they are called, last up to 24-hours and feature hundreds of participants, each reading passages that amount to the better part of the book.
Joyce fans realized that the fierce, beautiful language of Ulysses is best appreciated when rendered by the human voice, preferably a voice lubricated with Irish whiskey.
Photo: Mark Duggan
Reading from Ulysses, a book set entirely on one day, June 16th. Fans worldwide meet on the day to celebrate the book and their Irish heritage.
Tucson's Bloomsday celebration included plenty of readings from the book. A number of speakers stood up and admitted they'd had problems reading it on their own, until they read it out loud in a group of people. One man waved a copy of his Ulysses Cliff Notes saying it helped him understand the book's mysteries.
The evening turned out to be more than a celebration of Joyce's book. It was also a celebration of Irish culture, well removed from the gaudiness of modern St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Here, young and old alike stared in rapt fascination as they listened to a succession of speakers. And when it came time to sing, everyone seemed to know the words to the old songs.

Winnie Nanna organized the Tucson Bloomsday Celebration, watching it grow from its start as a very informal affair in living rooms. And yes, she has read Ulysses. The whole way through. She beams with pride as she talks about its importance in literary and Irish history.

Before last week, I had never heard of George W. Trippon. Now I know he was a dancer in Hollywood movie musicals, apprenticed at MGM studios for costume design, studied fashion design in Paris under the G.I. Bill, founded and operated the Trippon Fashion Center School of Dress Design in Hollywood for 26 years, and finally and gloriously starred in a daily TV show teaching women how to sew called "Sew What's New" from 1972 until 1994.
This documentary was made by Shawn Quinlan, who met Trippon in LA in 2008. After Mr. Trippon died a couple of years later, Quinton was given a stack of his show tapes and a box of photographs and clippings. Inside he found the makings of a interesting documentary and, according to the YouTube posting, a chance to fill the void of information on gay life in the 30′s and 40′s.
I'm so glad I found out about this guy. That's what happens when you have drinks with awesome friends, they tell you about facinating things, then send you YouTube links the next day. (Thanks Grant!)

Great Salon – I Love this tanning salon. It is by far the most convenient and the best value of any that I have ever been. The prices are great the service is better.

Then, the salon is right next door if you need your eyebrows waxed or a haircut.

Top Line: Bergeron, Toews, more Game 5 fallout; Saddledome disaster; more
By Allan Muir
An annotated guide to this morning's must-read hockey stories:
• The Blackhawks seized control of the Stanley Cup Final with a convincing 3-1 over Boston in Game 5.
• For now, they're calling him Mr. June, but after another two-goal performance Saturday night, Patrick Kane is close to being called a Conn man.
• Here is Eric Duhatschek's take on Kane's memorable efforts on a night of carnage and attrition.
• And here's the great Bruce Arthur, who notes there weren't thumbs on the scales as the series tilted in favor of the Hawks, but fists instead.
• The Hawks won Game 5 because they beat the Bruins in every way that mattered, when it mattered most.
• A suspected spleen injury appears to have ended Patrice Bergeron's quest for the Cup. Exclusive insider insight: If he's done, so are the Bruins.
• Bergeron's game is irreplaceable, says everybody who has ever watched him play.
• If Jonathan Toews is sidelined after taking a forearm shiver to the head in Game 5 and the Bruins come back to take the series, they may as well award Johnny Boychuk the Conn Smythe for delivering the cheap shot that changed the complexion of the series.
• The Hawks are just one win away from the Cup … but can they get it without Toews? Probably a bit dramatic here — Toews looked fine in joining the team celebrations post-game. I'd guess the decision to staple him to the bench in the third was precautionary. He'll be back Monday.
• The NHL is reviewing the head shot on Toews, as they should. There was a clean but effective hit to be made there. Boychuk only had to drop his arms six inches. Still, not convinced they'll go so far as to suspend him.
• What glove hand? Corey Crawford bounced back with a strong 24-save performance that proved his mental toughness.
• David Krejci says the Bruins have to play like there's no tomorrow in Game 6. Would have been nice if he'd thought of that, you know, yesterday.
• It looks grim for the Bruins, but they've dug their way out of a mess like this before.
• Carl Soderberg went from perenniel scratch to second-line savior after Bergeron went down. It was a pretty comfortable playoff debut for the rookie, who might see an even larger role in Game 6.
• Chicago's GM is chasing the trophy he was named after. No, not a People's Choice award.
• Larry Brooks touches on the rejuvenation of Jaromir Jagr's image, compliance buyout protocols, and the impact of the financial struggles of the New Jersey Devils.
• The event level of Calgary's Saddledome is a total loss after this week's tragic flooding, but the team's president promised the building would be ready to start the 2013-14 season on time.
• If you haven't yet seen the pictures of the destruction, you need to click here now.
• Steve Serby had a sit-down with new Rangers coach Alain Vigneault. Here is what he had to say.
• Rob Rossi gets his Corsi on in explaining Pittsburgh's options with Kris Letang.
• All that talk about the Avalanche passing on Seth Jones with the first overall pick? Yeah … Joe Sakic ain't bluffing.
• If Colorado doesn't want Jones, here's one team that will be thrilled to take him.
• John Niyo writes that the Pavel Datsyuk signing means the Red Wings will get serious about beefing up their roster for a Cup run. Nathan Horton is one option. Helene St. James says David Clarkson is another.
• The Jonathan Bernier sweepstakes are heating up. Steve Simmons believes the Flyers are the favorites, but Elliotte Friedman, speaking on Hotstove Tonight,thinks they won't pay the price and another team might swoop in.
• Add the Minnesota Wild to the list of Bernier suitors. And by the way, they might be interested if the Pens decide to deal Marc-Andre Fleury.
• The QMI Sunday notes column touches on Torts, Tip, Bryz and the draft.
