ACCA Hong Kong (the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants) is pleased to see that the 2014/15 Budget delivered by John Tsang Chun-Wah, Financial Secretary, today addressed key issues related to maintaining prudent management of public finances, and introduced additional measures for the development of key industries.
The overall Budget is forward-looking; however, ACCA Hong Kong had expected the Government to devote more effort and attention to supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and the middle class.
The estimated fiscal surplus for 2013-14 is expected to be HK$12 billion which is largely in line with ACCA Hong Kong's earlier expectation.
Fergus Wong, Vice Chairman of ACCA Hong Kong, believes that the reduced surplus is due to the slowdown in business activity in the private sector, as a result of fluctuations in the global economy last year. This in turn put a drag on the growth of Government revenue from earnings and profits taxes which were lower than originally estimated.
Wong said: 'We agree with the Government that public expenditure should be maintained at less than 20% of GDP. This is in line with the principle given in the Basic Law to avoid any structural deficit. Constraining public expenditure and balancing the Government's budget are our top concerns.'
As emphasised in ACCA Hong Kong's submission to the Government, fostering a business-enabling environment is of great importance. Wong said: 'We appreciate that the Budget introduces seven measures to support local SMEs and to enhance the development of pillar industries. This will ultimately enhance Hong Kong's competitiveness compared with its neighbours and foster Hong Kong businesses to survive and grow, thus increasing profits tax revenue in the long run.'
Wong added: 'We welcome the proposal for interest deductions in corporate treasury activities. However, it would have been more useful if the Government had provided a concessionary profits tax rate to those group treasury companies to promote Hong Kong as a regional headquarters location, and considered group loss relief and offer a special concessionary tax rate to support SMEs in their start-up stage for enhancing Hong Kong's business environment, as we have long advocated.'
As proposed in the Budget, middle class families will receive on-going recurring relief measures.
Davy Yun, Chairman, Tax sub-committee of ACCA Hong Kong said: 'We applaud the Government's move to devote continuous efforts to support the middle class such as increasing the allowance for maintaining dependent parents or grandparents, but the measures do not address the concerns of these middle-income families. We advised that the Government should provide benefits by increasing across-the-board personal allowances such as a deduction for the cost of employing domestic helpers, medical insurance premiums, child allowance and so on, in order to fully ease the financial pressure on the middle class.'
Overall, ACCA Hong Kong welcomes the proposed measures in the Budget that can enhance the business environment in Hong Kong and benefit the community.
Wong said: 'We agree in principle with establishing a 'Future Fund', but a closer look at the operational details is required. We look forward to seeing more concrete measures being implemented by the Government in exploring new business and job opportunities and improving people's living standards.'

EAST LIVERPOOL - The city school district and a concert promoter have both been found liable by Municipal Court Judge Melissa Byers Emmerling for $170 in un-refunded ticket sales to a local purchaser.
Pennsylvania Avenue resident Guy Taylor filed the small claims suit July 25 against Superintendent James Herring and Terrance Smitherman of T&T Promotions, alleging he purchased seven tickets to a Bow Wow concert that was canceled.
Herring ordered the concert canceled after he said Smitherman failed to secure liability insurance required by the rental contract he signed to use district facilities.
Taylor was seeking $3,000 plus interest since the Nov. 6, 2011 date of the canceled concert.
Testimony was heard during an Aug. 27 hearing by Taylor, Smitherman, Herring and the district's building and grounds director, Mark Reed.
In a ruling last week, Byers Emmerling noted Smitherman met with then-principal Jack Cunningham on Aug. 1, 2011 about the concert and was advised he had to pay custodial and security fees, with the school to receive 100 percent of parking and concession fees.
Cunningham also permitted pre-sale of tickets and for the tickets to be advertised and sold from the high school, according to the judge, who noted tickets went on sale Sept. 5, with 250 sold over the next two months, bringing in $6,550.
She went on to say, however, that the only contract in existence was not signed until Oct. 12, a month after the tickets were sold and, although it refers to a reverse side, that side was blank. Nor did it include rules and regulations referred to in the contract language.
The contract states, "A liability policy... is strongly recommended and may be required," and the judge said there is no written documentation that the district required Smitherman to purchase liability insurance, in what amounts, or by what date.
Although district officials presented at the hearing six internal memos between school employees, Byers Emmerling said Smitherman was not aware of any of those and said the memos indicate the district had not required liability insurance until after Oct. 31, "long after tickets were pre-sold."
She pointed out Reed testified that Smitherman had indicated he would provide proof of insurance by the Friday prior to the concert but then the school failed to wait until Friday to cancel the event.
The court found that there was no written contract requiring the liability insurance nor any existing proof that Smitherman was ever notified he had only until noon the Thursday before the concert to present the policy.
Byers Emmerling ruled that Smitherman pre-sold tickets to a concert that was canceled and owes Taylor the $170 he spent, "regardless if he was unable to perform the contract due to the school's actions."
Secondly, she ruled that the board of education is jointly liable for the $170, saying the district "knowingly took advantage of the consumers by selling tickets to an event without the liability insurance being in place... the school should not have sold any tickets until the liability policy was filed."
Although Herring had testified the school was not a party to the concert, the judge disagreed, saying the district was in a joint venture with Smitherman since it received a profit, not just a fee; because all promotions to the public listed the school as presenting or sponsoring the event; because tickets were sold at the school by school employees; and the event was promoted within the school.

Erie County lawmakers will decide whether to give workers in county government's largest labor union back pay for the first year they started working under an expired contract.
Three administrations have been unable to finalize a deal with members of the Civil Service Employees Association Local 815 to extend a union contract that expired in late 2006. The union represents about 3,500 workers spread throughout county government and Erie County Medical Center.
After failing last year to get a proposal ratified by the union membership that offered pay raises in exchange for employee health insurance contributions, Erie County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz has opened the door for the Legislature to impose a one-year retroactive settlement with the union for 2007.
Poloncarz wants the Legislature to approve a one-year settlement that would extend the terms of the existing contract without granting any additional pay raises for 2007 or lump sum back pay "due to the state of the county's finances."
"There's no money for that," said Peter Anderson, a spokesman for Poloncarz.
CSEA members last year voted down a proposal that would have given them cost-of-living raises totaling 11 percent for the years 2012 through 2016, as well as a signing bonus for the previous years in which employees worked under an expired contract. The rejected proposal also would have required workers to pay a portion of their health insurance costs, in addition to other concessions.
Legislators now could decide to approve Poloncarz's request or give retroactive pay raises or a one-time bonus for 2007 – as it previously has sought to do in 2008 with another union contract – but it cannot change the terms of work rules or other areas of the contract.
CSEA workers continue to receive pay increases for length of service, but have not received cost-of-living raises since the contract expired in 2006.
The Legislature has formally received a copy of a 2011 report completed by a neutral fact finder after the union reached an impasse with county negotiators – a step necessary to allow the Legislature to impose a one-year financial settlement.
The fact finder's report recommended that the union workers be given a lump-sum payment of 2 percent of a worker's wages for 2007, but it also recommended a series of other contract changes, including eliminating two paid holidays, reducing personal days and shortening lunch time.
Anderson said the Poloncarz administration believes the Legislature should not impose a pay raise or bonus since such a financial settlement would not address other issues, including employee contributions for health insurance.
Joan Bender, president of CSEA Local 815, said the union reached out to legislators prior to the fact finder's report being sent to the Legislature to communicate what it would like lawmakers to do. She declined to describe those discussions so that it did not appear as if she was trying to put public pressure on the Legislature.
Bender said the union late last year requested that Poloncarz send the fact finder's report to the Legislature.
If the Legislature imposes a one-year settlement, the union would begin negotiating with the county again over the expired contract starting with 2008.

For Luke Bryan, who burst into tears when his name was announced, being named entertainer of the year at Sunday's 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards wasn't just big. It was BIG.
"You know, your life flashes before you," Bryan, who also served as the Las Vegas event's co-host, with Blake Shelton, tells PEOPLE.
"Everything – the years to get there, the loading up amps in trucks, and even the move to Nashville and then driving back to Georgia and playing little bars and then the record deal and watching your fan base grow and watching people start to love what you do."
Continued the Leesburg, Ga., native, 36, breathlessly: "It all flashes before you. You see all that and you want to say and thank everybody. And you think of all the sacrifices – I got 30 to 40 people on the road with me and they're gone from their families too, and they are celebrating, too."
For a complete list of winners, click here.
On a personal level, Bryan told PEOPLE, "I just feel I'm blessed and lucky to be here. At any point in my life, one thing could have sent me down another path, and I wouldn't have moved to Nashville. So every second in this business, I'm going to take it with a smile and enjoy it."
Still taking in his victory, the Tailgates & Tanlines musician – who vied in the top category along with Shelton, Jason Aldean, Taylor Swift and the evening's biggest winner, with four awards, Miranda Lambert – said of the acknowledgment from his peers, "To have the country community pulling for me is just so special to me."
So, to celebrate? Not so fast. "I have obligations!" he noted. "I've got to do Tim McGraw's thing tomorrow, so I have to think about my voice. You don't want to party all night and sound like a bullfrog tomorrow. We'll do the all-star jam and go to the Capitol [Records, his label since 2007] party and then wake up going, 'Wow.' It's crazy. My whole family feels really blessed."

At the age of 15, Julie Koon was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease.
Unable to walk, she no longer could attend school and had to resort to home schooling. Alone at home, this once social butterfly found solace in food.
Seven years and two surgeries later Koon found herself more than 100 pounds overweight. However, she also found herself engaged to the love of her life for more than five years.
Her upcomingwedding gave her the motivation to call Medi-Weightloss (www.mediweightloss.com).
"I wanted to be that beautiful bride that looks back at her photos, 20 years later and feels happy with how she looked," Koon said.
Koon started the program in July 2012 and by August 2013 had lost 95 pounds.
According to Koon, "the staff made the entire process so easy.
It is more difficult in the beginning of any new life change or routine, but because of their support, I breezed right through the hard stuff and now I am enjoying my new life and my new view on food and health.
Medi-Weightloss changed my life completely.
"Their system is based solely on proper nutrition and scientifically what the body needs. There are no gimmicks, no points to keep track of, no crazy formulas – just simple, easy, healthy nutrition. Thank you so much for saving me and giving me a new life. I am forever grateful."
Since May 5, 2009 Medi-Weightloss has helped the Mount Pleasant Community lose over 31,455 pounds.

Cross Country Brings Home Ball State Invite Title
MUNCIE, Ind. - - All eight of Ball State's runners finished in the top 10 Friday afternoon at the Muncie Elks Country Club, as the cross country team ran away with the second annual Ball State Invitational title.
Ball State finished first overall with its top five runners scoring 17 points and posting a season-best average time of 18:49.08. Marian finished second with 46 points, while Indianapolis took third at 74.
"On a day where the temperature was chilly, the course was wet and it was raining most of the time, I was really pleased with how our team ran," said head coach Randy Heisler. "What is even more impressive is that our top three runners each scored personal-bests on the afternoon. While it was a great overall race for us, we are still looking forward to getting better as we approach the MAC Championships."
Leading the charge for Ball State's 11th consecutive race was senior MaryKate Mellen (Michigan City, Ind./Michigan City) who won the meet with a career-fast 5K time of 18:08.70.
Finishing second was BSU sophomore Courtney Edon (New Palestine, Ind. /New Palestine) with a career-fast time of 18:25.20, while freshman Katelyn DeVries (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso) also ran a career-best, placing third overall at 18:29.70.
Rounding out BSU's scored runners were junior Esther Tirado (Dominican Republic/Lafayette Jefferson) in fifth overall with a time of 19:29.90 and senior Emilee Zets (Berlin Center, Ohio/West Branch) placing sixth with a time of 19:31.90.
The Ball State cross country team returns to action next Friday, when it travels to Peoria, Ill., for the Bradley Classic which is set to start at 4:30 p.m.

HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, Ky. - The Stetson men's soccer team (2-7-2, 1-3-1) dropped a 1-0 game on the road against Northern Kentucky (6-8-1, 3-1-1) on Sunday afternoon. The Hatters will now return home to host North Florida and ETSU and work themselves back into Atlantic Sun Conference contention.
"We didn't play well enough for the full 90 minutes to come away with a win," Head Coach T. Logan Fleck said after the game. "I haven't lost any faith in the guys' ability to do what we need to do to win, but we need to find ways to play better for each other, and that may be in our preparation."
It was a lone goal in the 34th minute that gave the Norse their third conference victory. Craig Heard crossed the ball to an open Nick Toney, who headed it to the right post and put it in the back of the net with just under 12 minutes remaining in the first period.
With three yellow cards on Northern Kentucky and a red card on Stetson's Luis Ocejo late in the contest, the match wasn't without its drama. The Hatters battled, but weren't able to tie the game with any of their five second half shots.
The Norse outshot Stetson 12-9 for the game and recorded five corner kicks to Stetson's two. Junior goalkeeper Andreas Schnabl made three saves for the Hatters, while NKU's A.J. Fleak totaled four for the Norse.
Stetson, now 2-7-2 on the season and 1-3-1 in league play, will host North Florida on Friday, October 26 at 7:00 p.m. in a "Coaches vs. Cancer" contest. The Hatters will then play ETSU on Sunday, October 28 at 1:00 p.m. for Senior Day.

Here�s why you should care about parabens: They are one of the most widely used preservatives in beauty products, and can be found in everything from moisturizers to makeup�check your ingredient labels for methylparaben, propylparaben, isoparaben and butylparaben. And while the Food and Drug Administration�which largely (and unfortunately) does not regulate cosmetic ingredients�says there�s no need for consumers to be concerned about parabens in grooming products, some studies have shown that these chemicals may disrupt normal hormone function and increase the risk of breast cancer. We�d rather not take the chance�how about you? Here are five of our favorite paraben-free conditioners that offer up lots of other great hair benefits, too. Product: Philip Kingsley No Scent No Colour Conditioner, $29, philipkingsley.com The Deets: This fragrance-, color- and paraben-free formula is just the thing for those with sensitive or easily irritated scalps.

In the past seven years as sports editor of the Salem News, when it comes down to telling people what I've been doing as opposed to doing, which is usually drinking something, I get a great deal of response from said bar stool quarterbacks in whatever watering hole I've ended up at after the last relevant game I've had to wait for the conclusion of.
When I explain my day to day it typically results in questions regarding professional sports coverage and who and when I've talked to whom and when I talked to them.
Don't get me wrong, it's always with a bit of self confidence I can freely admit to interviewing not only some of my idols in the sports world (John Daly, Rocco Mediate, Casey Blake) but also some of the biggest sports figures on the planet (Tiger Woods, LeBron James, etc.).
One of the perks of journalism is press passes and the access they often grant. Admittedly, when I made the decision to move on from my world as sports editor of a small, daily newspaper that often times I had to explain in more depth than I wanted to the exact location of, I got a lot of second guessing from people who jump to the conclusion what I've made a living at involves only talking to sports celebrities and hanging around in professional locker rooms. Most things in life are questionable regardless of whatever the circumstance and often times make semi-to-little sense. Neither does anything else, and a lot of what I went to was catered.
Truth be told, I will miss having access to events most people have to buy a ticket for. It was one of the perks of a job only the most dedicated sports enthusiasts can survive in. A lot of it is opposite hours of the normal world, failing miserably at personal relationships, never getting to watch the Super Bowl outside of the office, and always having to say you're working when the rest of the free world finished their 9-to-5s hours ago and are letting off steam.
But little of what I'll miss comes in the professional sports world sense or the simple drawbacks that come with not only this job, but every other one on the planet.
I'll miss the high school sidelines, dugouts, court-side at the gym and chasing down cross country runners, crouching behind hundreds of parents, referees, officials and players to get the best photo.
I'll miss the competition. Not just that of the every evening, but that of the one-on-one challenges I subjected myself to garnering a better understanding of exactly just how good and dedicated these "kids" I cover are. Kids they are by definition only. If most of us adults had to do what they did on a regular basis, we'd do so with the frequent loss of limbs, mobility and dignity.
I'll miss the inspiration. The work ethic and dedication to achieving goals we as "grown-ups" have either long forgotten about or taken for granted.
I'll miss the tears. Not those shed by the athlete who fell just short of his or her goal, but those shed by said sports writer who was moved by the persistence of which young men and women just short of half his age showed perseverance in shooting for their dreams.
I'll miss the camaraderie. Not only of the teams who came together, but of the communities who supported their children, grandchildren, nephews, nieces, cousins, brothers, sisters and friends.
I'll miss the miracles. The people who cried on one another's shoulders in the most improbable and tragic of situations, but through the sheer power of support, love and hope made it possible to continue. To not only stand up in the face of adversity but to say we as a community will be stronger, will love more passionately, will cherish more vehemently, and will reach the other side better, smarter and more compassionate than we ever thought possible before.
I'll miss the parents. The awesome ones, the crazy ones, the mothers and fathers who thought I had an agenda and hated my guts, to the ones who never said a word, to the ones who said far more than they ever needed to. You all love your children, and it's a love and protection I as a single man in his early 30s can't even fathom but perhaps one day will be lucky enough to understand.
I'll miss the coaches. Those who sacrificed their time to mold and shape young minds, not only in sports but in life.
I'll miss my co-workers. The kids straight out of college I tried to help guide, to the journalism lifers who deserve more from a field struggling to maintain its identity, to the managing editor who just might be the coolest boss in the world, but most importantly is an even cooler father to his daughters. He personifies the definition of "sacrifice."
I'll miss you. The reader who told me what he or she thought, good, bad or indifferent. You read. You followed my work. And for that I will be forever grateful.
Thank you all for the experience. I'm wiser for it. I'm better for it. And I love you all for it.
I'll see you soon. And I'll certainly be rooting for you all from afar.
'til next time

Outbreak Spurs Calls for New Controls
As many as 13,000 patients may have been exposed to fungal meningitis from tainted spinal steroid injections, authorities said Monday, as some lawmakers called for bringing certain specialized pharmacies under greater regulatory scrutiny.
The oversight of compounding pharmacies, which create customized versions of medicines, is gaining greater attention as the death and illness tolls in the outbreak continue to rise. On Tuesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said 11 people had died and 119 people in 10 states had been sickened by fungal meningitis, a rare but potentially deadly inflammation to the brain or central nervous system.
New Jersey is the 10th state to report at least one illness, the Associated Press reported. The other states involved in the outbreak are Tennessee, Michigan, Virginia, Indiana, Florida, Maryland, Minnesota, North Carolina and Ohio.
The CDC said a majority of the thousands exposed to the tainted injections had been contacted and weren't ill. The number of meningitis cases could still rise in the coming days and weeks, but it isn't possible to forecast how many might ultimately get sick, the CDC said. Patients have come down with the illness one-to-four weeks after receiving the injections.
State regulators, federal agencies and the pharmacy industry all share some responsibility for monitoring compounding pharmacies like the New England Compounding Center, the Massachusetts facility that shipped the contaminated steroid tied to the meningitis outbreak. But health officials and lawmakers say these facilities essentially slide through the cracks because no one entity has full responsibility for overseeing them.
"Compounding pharmacies currently fall into a regulatory black hole," Rep. Ed Markey (D., Mass.) wrote in a letter to Margaret Hamburg, Food and Drug Administration commissioner, on Monday.
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D., Conn.), called for the FDA's oversight authority of the facilities to be extended if necessary, saying that compounding pharmacies' "relative immunity from standards of safety and effectiveness seems anomalous and unacceptable." Mr. Blumenthal is on the Senate committee that oversees how much jurisdiction the FDA has.
If the FDA had full oversight of these pharmacies, it could treat their compounds as new drugs and require the pharmacies to submit clinical trials before the drugs are allowed on the market. It also would have more powers to inspect facilities.
Three lots of potentially contaminated steroid injections were sent by New England Compounding Center to 75 health facilities in 23 states from July to September, according to state and federal officials. But oversight of the facility, which specializes in assembling spinal steroid injections made from a powder and solution mixture, falls with the state and not the FDA. That is because NECC is considered a pharmacy and not a manufacturer.
"Our joint response and investigation with the FDA will continue until we have all the answers and information we need to determine what if any regulatory changes need to be made," said JudyAnn Bigby, the Massachusetts Health and Human Services secretary.
A spokesman for NECC declined to comment.
"From what we can tell so far, it seems that the majority [of patients] are not ill," said Benjamin Park, a CDC medical officer. Whether a patient ends up getting sick depends on the amount of the contaminated steroid vial they are exposed to and their immune system, one health expert said.
There are about 3,000 compounding pharmacies, and drugs made by the facilities represent as much as 3% of the roughly $300 billion in prescription drugs sold in the U.S. each year, according to the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists, an industry group.
The FDA has pushed in recent years to increase its regulatory authority over compounding pharmacies. But it has been stymied by, among other factors, a 2002 Supreme Court decision. In the majority opinion, written by Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, the court struck down as unconstitutional the portion of a 1997 law setting out how the FDA would decide which compounding pharmacies it would regulate. The FDA had pushed for the 1997 legislation, according to agency officials.
The FDA issued a 2007 warning noting that compounded drugs "are not FDA-approved." It said there had been "devastating repercussions" from such drugs, included three patients dying of infections from a drug used to paralyze the heart during surgery and two patients at a veterans hospital who were blinded by a compounded product used in cataract surgery.
Another piece of guidance from the FDA said it "should seriously consider enforcement action" if the "nature and scope" of a pharmacy's activities are more like a drug manufacturer than a drugstore. But it hasn't gone back to Congress to codify its regulatory standards and has supervised compounding pharmacies only fitfully, current and former agency officials said. The FDA declined to comment.
"This method of taking enforcement cases from time to time hasn't really worked," said Mary Pendergast, a former FDA lawyer.
The compounding pharmacy industry has created safety standards meant to reduce the risk of tainted products. In 2004, United States Pharmacopeia, an industry-backed nonprofit, established safe-practice guidelines for compounding pharmacies.
But the industry is required only in 17 states to follow the guidelines, according to a survey conducted this year by Pharmacy Purchasing & Products, a trade publication. Researchers found that compounding pharmacies in states that required the guidelines reported higher levels of compliance.
"This is yet another preventable event that's harmed way too many people," said Eric Kastango, one of the researchers from the PP&P survey who also helps update the guidelines.
Part of the struggles with maintaining oversight of the compounding-pharmacy industry is that there are few avenues for quality control of the product—except when tainted products sicken or kill people, health officials and pharmacy experts said.
There are no legal requirements that compounding pharmacies test each batch of injectable steroids or record where they go, said Carmen Catizone, executive director of the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy. "It's something the good pharmacies do and the other pharmacies don't," he said.
States cite several reasons why they don't require compounding pharmacies to adhere to the industry-created guidelines. The higher costs and the need to conduct more frequent monitoring and sampling of the work areas are the most commonly cited reasons by compounding pharmacies for not complying, said Kate Douglass, president of Performance Strategies LLC, which consults sterile compounding pharmacies on safety issues.
"The amount of compounding pharmacies that are aware of the guidelines grows every day," Ms. Douglass said. She consults compounding pharmacies on safe practices but believes very few are fully compliant.
Joe Alessandrini, assistant vice president of Clinical Services at South Jersey Healthcare, which had 124 patients at two hospitals receive the recalled steroid injections, said the health system started buying the steroid injections from the NECC about eight years ago after being frustrated by shortages of brand-name steroids from drug manufacturers.
He said the health system and state officials have contacted all of the patients, including making home visits to some who didn't have telephones. So far, 87 patients have visited a special clinic that was set up to screen patients concerned they might be sick, and 13 have been referred for additional testing. No illnesses have been reported.
What Patients Need to Know About Meningitis
Q: I think I might have received a tainted steroid injection. What should I do?
A: Contact the facility where you received the injection.
State health departments and clinics have been notifying patients since last week if they received a potentially contaminated injection.
Some of the hospitals and clinics affected are screening patients to identify those who received the tainted injections.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has a list of clinics that received the contaminated steroid medication made by the New England Compounding Center at: http://www.cdc.gov/hai/outbreaks/meningitis-facilities-map.html.
Q: What are the symptoms of fungal meningitis?
A: They are similar to symptoms of other forms of meningitis, including headache, fever, nausea and stiffness of the neck. However, these symptoms often appear more gradually and can be very mild at first. People with fungal meningitis may also experience confusion, dizziness and discomfort with bright lights.
Q: Can meningitis be spread?
A: The type of meningitis linked to the contaminated steroid shots is not contagious.
Q: Will everyone who received a contaminated injection get meningitis?
A: Whether a patient who got a contaminated shot ends up getting sick will depend on the person's immune system and the amount of the contaminated steroid the patient was exposed to, said Andrew Pavia, who leads the pediatric infectious diseases division at the University of Utah.

The 6 Stupidest Things We Use to Judge People We Don't Know
A couple of days ago I was talking to a friend about music, and within 30 seconds we were making fun of Nickelback. Half a minute after that, we were ripping on their fans. At the time, we were just two guys looking down our noses and laughing at a fan base and a form of music we considered beneath us. But after that conversation, I kind of felt like a douchebag. Not for making fun of Nickelback, because that band really does suck, but for damning their fans. What made me think that my taste in music made me any more important or intelligent than them?
We as humans do this constantly. I'm not referring to just the elitist assholes who lord obscure knowledge over us like an approaching thunderstorm made of anus. I'm talking about average, everyday people who judge a person entirely on meaningless things like ...
#6. Where You Work
Regular readers know that I used to work at a truck wash for big tractor/trailers. In 15 years of employment there, there wasn't a single day when I was proud to tell someone what I did for a living. In fact, if I was meeting a stranger for the first time and I knew that there was no chance of us ever seeing each other again, I'd flat out lie. "Oh, you're a lawyer? That's awesome. I build nuclear warheads with my penis."
I did it because I knew the reaction my job produced wasn't one of interest. It was one of sympathy. "Well, hey, at least you have a job, right? Not many people can say that in this economy." As if I needed the reassurance of a stranger to justify my occupation.
"I appreciate you saying so, sir. Now if you don't mind, I have some of your food to shit in."
Of course, we've all felt that satisfying mixture of pity and superiority that comes from seeing a stranger doing a crappy job. When we see a middle-aged woman working the McDonald's drive-through, we immediately assume she's uneducated and barely employable. She's "stuck" working a fast food job. It never occurs to us that she may be intentionally working her way up the ladder to become a manager -- a job that pays an average of $40,000 a year. Or that this isn't her only job, and she's busting her ass, doing whatever it takes to survive. Or that, of the 50 applications she put out over the last half a year, this was the only job that replied.
"So that's a No. 4 with a large go fuck yourself? Anything else I can get for you, you arrogant cocksucker?"
Instead we scoff, because it makes us feel better about where we are in life. "Yeah, I may stack boxes in the dildo factory, but at least I don't flip burgers for a living." In doing that, we're justifying our own occupations to ourselves. And since it happens so often, we know for a fact that those in better careers are looking at us through that same judgmental lens. No matter what our level of employment, scoffing at others for how they make their money is our means of comforting ourselves, because at least we're not that poor bastard who picks up my trash.
"All it takes is for me to slip one human hand in here and we never see you again."
And God help you if you work the night shift, because you'll definitely be getting shit for ...
#5. Sleeping Late
I've always been a night person. Some of my best writing happens at three in the morning when the house is totally silent and I don't have daily chores looming over me like paparazzi at a celebrity funeral. It feels like the whole world is asleep except for me. It's peaceful, and I need that feeling of isolation to help me concentrate and create.
But even when I was working manual-labor jobs, I still preferred the night shift. I got in the habit of staying up until daybreak and then sleeping until early afternoon, and that schedule has worked for me ever since. But holy shit, did people ever look down on me for it.
"Goddamnit, leave me alone!"
People assume that late sleepers are lazy and unproductive. They're lumped in with people who stay up all night partying, dancing in a drug-fueled craze while wearing aluminum foil pants and stuffing glow sticks in their asses, then sleeping away the day because of the ensuing hangover. Or teenagers on summer break who spend the night playing video games, shouting racial slurs at each other over headsets and ignoring the importance of getting up at the crack of dawn like a "normal" adult. Or worse yet, they picture us going to bed at the same time as them but just choosing to sleep for the next 16 hours because we think our body deserves more sleep than theirs.
Of course, most of us night people sleep the same amount of time as people who keep more regular hours. We're just shifting our active schedule to a different time of day. While they're asleep, we're working just as hard as they did when the sun was out. We're equally as productive -- just not at 9 a.m.
My yearly clock budget is in the thousands.
But still they scoff, because to them, we're immature. Real adults start their day when the local businesses open and go to bed when late night talk shows are over. People who are just getting started when Letterman ends might be more productive than them (and in creative industries, that's often the case), but the sight of someone in their bathrobe any time after 11 a.m. is just too much for some people to deal with. It's automatically assumed that we're sleeping our day away while respectable society carries us on their back.
"I'm sleeping because I just hate responsibility that much."
But before you decide to try out the lifestyle of the Daywalkers and invest in a fancy computerized alarm clock to help you wake up, be warned that you'll be scoffed at for ...
#4. The Technology You Buy
I have friends who are militant Mac advocates. They're constantly on me to switch from my archaic PC because "Mac is so much better at processing video." When I tell them that I don't really create video and that my PC does everything I need it to do, they assure me I'm being unreasonable, and go off to rub their boners together while talking about what the next iPad might look like. Evidently, I'm supporting The Man because I choose to use Windows instead of whatever jungle cat the current Mac operating system is naming itself after.
Get the most out of your computer by using Toothy Scar-Eye.
It's the same with video game consoles. "You play an Xbox 360? Pfft. You haven't lived until you've played a PS3." If you have tech-savvy friends, you'll hear it no matter what you buy. TVs, phones, computer monitors, speakers ... pretty much anything that uses electricity, they know of or own something better. And it's enough to make you want to grab their far superior technology and beat them with it until transistors flake off of their skulls like Terminator dandruff.
Now, I understand that if you're a tech person and you see a friend about to make a mistake by purchasing something truly shitty, it's your duty to step up and give them a warning. "I know this tower is cheaper, but the reason is because there's no room for upgrades, and the components will be obsolete within a year. Paying a little extra for the other one will save you hundreds in the long run." But that's not what we're doing when we scoff.
"Oh, that's so cute. Look at him, thinking he knows things."
Scoffing is dismissive -- it's not helpful. It allows us to write people off. And if we're not writing you off for what you buy, we're doing it because of ...

Bayfield resident Thomas Ray Moats Sr., died of metastatic liver cancer Monday, July 30, 2012, at his home. He was 59.
Mr. Moats was born to Ernest Ray Moats and Alice Cline-Moats on May 11, 1953, in Englewood. His family said he attended the �School of Hard Knocks� and Sheridan High School.
On June 11, 1971, he married Cathleen Staley in Englewood.
Mr. Moats began his 38-year career pumping concrete with Harvey Hoyer of Allstates Concrete Pumping at the age of 16. He went on to work at other concrete companies, including O�Brien�s, Gibbons, Brundage, Murdock and Southwest, before starting his own concrete-pumping business, Moats Concrete Pumping, in 1988. He sold his business in 2003 to travel with his wife and dogs.
The Moats settled in Bayfield six years ago, where Mr. Moats worked for Sky Ute Ready Mix.
�Thomas loved jeepin�, camping, fishing, gold panning and barbecuing,� his family said. �His family and his dogs were his world.�
Mr. Moats is survived by wife of 41 years, Cathleen Moats of Bayfield; sons Thomas R. Moats Jr. of Fort Collins and Russ M. Moats of Costa Mesa, Calif.; brother, Ben Moats of Fort Lupton; sisters Rosie Moats of Colorado Springs, Sharon Murphy of Longmont, Peggy Wooden of Hayden, Ala., and Jane Oliver of Alba, Texas; three grandsons; and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.
A celebration of life will take place at a later date in Fort Collins.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
NeoStem won a two-year, $595,252 research grant from the NIAID to fund evaluation and development of human autologous, pluripotent very small embryonic like (VSEL) stem cells as a potential countermeasure against radiation exposure resulting from nuclear accident or terrorism. The work will be headed by NeoStem and Mariusz Ratajczak, M.D., co-inventor of the VSEL technology, who heads the Stem Cell Biology Program at the University of Louisville's James Graham Brown Cancer Center.
"Currently there is only one intervention that saves a fatally irradiated person—a rescue through stem cell transplantation," states Denis O. Rodgerson, Ph.D., director of stem cell science at NeoStem. "VESLs might be an ideal cell therapy to regenerate the body's immune system and repair other tissues damaged by radiation exposure. Most importantly, early studies show VSELs are resistant to lethal radiation, which destroys other immune system-restoring stem cells in the body, making autologous treatment post exposure possible."
The VSEL program is based on the discovery of a heterogeneous population of VSEL stem cells in bone marrow that have properties similar to those of an embryonic stem cell, and that offer the potential for cell-based therapies. NeoStem has succeeded in isolating and culturing VSELs and is currently working on expanding them, as well as establishing their efficacy in preclinical work. The firm has already received nearly $2 million in grants from the Department of Defense, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Material Command, and the NIH to fund evaluation and development of the technology in applications including osteoporosis therapy, traumatic wound healing, and bone defect repair. Sponsored research is in addition under way with academic partners in fields as diverse as macular degeneration and glaucoma, liver regeneration, and motor neuron regeneration.
Cell therapy specialist NeoStem's wholly owned subsidiary Amorcyte is developing an autologous bone marrow derived CD34+ cell-enriched cell therapy AMR-001, for preventing major cardiac events following acute myocardial infarction. A 160-patient Phase II study, Preserve, was initiated in January.
NeoStem also has an 80% holding in Athelos, a firm developing T cell therapeutics for immune-mediated diseases including graft versus host disease, autoimmune disorders, and allergic diseases. Phase I trials are ongoing under a number of independent physician INDs. The remaining 20% of Athelos is held by Becton Dickinson. Athelos and Amorcyte were originally established by cell therapy contract manufacturer Protenitor Cell Therapy, which NeoStem bought out in 2011. PCT provides NeoStem with ongoing contract manufacturing revenues as well as manufacturing capacity for its own programs, and for Athelos and Amorcyte.

Observations on British and American English
by an American linguist in the UK
England and America are two countries separated by a common language.
--George Bernard Shaw
BrE = British English
AmE = American English
OED=Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edn. [1989], unless otherwise noted)
Thursday, May 08, 2008
Better Half came home tonight to find me watching The Big Bang Theory with a sleeping baby on my lap. (My excuse: I was stuck--I couldn't very well disturb the baby, who hates to nap and so must be tricked into doing it on my lap. So, nothing to do but power up the remote control.) In this episode, the boys are preparing for the "Physics Bowl". When they started practi{c/s}ing for the Bowl with physics quiz questions, BH said, "Oh, that's what they're doing! I couldn't figure out why physicists would get so excited about bowling!"
The AmE bowl in Physics Bowl is the same as the more general College Bowl--a contest between (usually) students in which they answer (usually) academic questions. The UK equivalent to the College Bowl is University Challenge, a television program(me) in which students from different universities (or colleges within the Oxbridge/London universities) compete on television. (Perhaps some Americans will have seen this in the book/film Starter for Ten--if it was released over there...) University Challenge was based on the College Bowl, but it has overtaken its ancestor in terms of popularity. The College Bowl was televised in the US from the 1950s until 1970, but University Challenge is a television institution that's still very popular today. My own bowl experience was to be in the History Bowl when I was in the 8th grade. In that case, it was a county-wide competition for which I had to learn much more than I ever wanted to know about the Erie Canal. (I stayed home on the day of the final, insisting that I was [AmE-preferred] sick/[BrE-preferred] ill, but I think my mother was right in insisting that it was just butterflies. Oh, the regret.)
I'm fairly certain that the name of these kinds of contests (which hasn't made it into the OED or American Heritage) is derived from the use of bowl to refer to certain post-season football (=BrE American football) games, such as the Rose Bowl, which are played between (AmE) college (= BrE university) teams. (Plus the Super Bowl, which is played between professional teams.) They are so-called because of the bowl shape of the stadiums (or stadia, if you prefer--the spellchecker doesn't) in which they were first played.
The kind of bowl(ing) that Better Half was imagining is generally called bowling in AmE, but ten-pin bowling in BrE. (In AmE bowling can also refer to variants like candlepin bowling. You can look these things up if you'd like to know the difference! The social class implications of bowling in America are noted in the comments of a recent post.) This distinguishes it from the game more traditionally played in England, (lawn) bowls, which is closely related to the continental games boules/pétanque and bocce (which is the more familiar game in America, thanks to Italian immigrants). Another kind of bowling found in the UK (more than the US), particularly in the Southwest, is skittles, the game from which modern indoor bowling is derived. This provides me with an excuse to post one of my photos of the Children's Parade in the Brighton Festival. This year the theme was favo(u)rite games, and one school chose skittles. (It's not the best photo I took, but I've suddenly had qualms about posting a photo of other people's children.) In the US, I imagine most people would associate skittles with a (AmE) candy/(BrE) sweet.
(...which compels an anecdote. I was at a party in Waco, Texas once and met a man who told me he was in Research and Development at M&M/Mars, one of the bigger employers in town. I asked what he'd developed. His wife proudly put her arm in his and beamed, "He invented Skittles!" As you can see, one meets Very Important People in Waco. And I should join Anecdoters Anonymous.)
The verb to bowl is used to describe what one does with the projectile in all of these games, but is also used to describe how the ball is delivered (or not) to the bat in cricket--and hence the person who does that delivering is the bowler. The closest thing in popular American sports is the pitcher, who pitches a baseball.
Going further afield, another bowl that differs is found in the (AmE) bathroom/(BrE informal) loo. While AmE speakers clean the toilet bowl, BrE speakers stick their brushes into the toilet's pan. I'm not absolutely sure that BrE speakers don't also use bowl in this sense (do you?), but it jars whenever I hear people speak about the toilet pan, as it makes me imagine something very shallow.
Those are the bowl differences I've noticed myself, although the OED also gives a special Scottish English sense: a marble. Their only example is from 1826, so you Scots will have to tell us whether it's current!

I've heard both pan and bowl used for the toilet. I'd use bowl myself. I hear pan mostly as part of the expression: 'going down the pan' as in something going very badly.
My Nan and Granddad were bowlers until old age prevented them from playing anymore. They have quite a few trophies, I wouldn't say it was like boule, except that the aim is to get your ball nearest the jack. Crown green bowling or flat green bowling as I would call it the balls are rolled along the green not thrown like boule.
I love your blog, as we'd say it's gradely.
- 08 May, 2008 08:21
I (BrE) would usually say toilet bowl rather than pan - I'd understand the latter, but I would be surprised to hear it used much. To be honest, if you'd asked me before reading this article, I might have assumed that it was an American usage (which I think is a phenomenon you've discussed before).
- 08 May, 2008 09:41
Surely "rose bowl" derives not from the stadium, but from the trophy (a rose bowl being an alternative to a cup). Using the term as a name for the competition is thus parallel to "World Cup", "F.A. Cup", etc.
(P.S. "Practising" in British English as well as U.S., as it's a verbal form.)

Another BE speaker who says "toilet bowl" and "toilet pan" is not very common and possibly American usage.
- 08 May, 2008 10:10
"Bowl" comes from the stadium? Well, I'll be bumswizzled.
I always assumed that the various "bowls" were named after the trophy being competed for, analagous to the FA Cup, or the Northumberland Plate.
I suppose the idea was supported by the fact that, to me, a rose bowl is a type of vase, usually crystal or silver, that is sometimes used as a trophy.
Fancy that.

Yes, indeedee, it's the stadium. Another famous stadium (though not for (American) football) is the Hollywood bowl. The OED says:
d. A football stadium (no longer necessarily bowl-shaped). Freq. in the names of particular stadia. Cf. ROSE BOWL 2, Super-Bowl s.v. SUPER- 6c. U.S.
bowl, n.1
Add: [3.] e. A sporting occasion, held in such a stadium, at which a football game is the main (orig. the only) event; later extended to include similar events held elsewhere. Also spec. = bowl game, sense *7 below. U.S.
[7.] bowl game Amer. Football, an established post-season game, spec. one played at any of a number of named stadiums.

The only time I've ever seen toilet pan is in a few Asian airports where a particular stall might be marked on the door "squatting pan" to distinguish it from a Western style toilet.
Re: bowling, I assume that most British people would have no idea what duckpins are.

I always say bowl, but that may be the influence from my family.

- Dougal said...
Aye (er, yes) I can confirm that bowls is also a term for marbles, though it's pronounced bools (a bit like 'fools' only a slightly "fatter" sound? I'm afraid I don't have the terminology).
- 08 May, 2008 12:14
How odd. I was sure I had sent a post along the same lines as Dougal's. Apparently it got lost in the ether between here and the blog.

Some histories of the Rose Bowl say it took its name from the Yale Bowl which, if true, begs the question way was it the Yale "Bowl".
- 08 May, 2008 21:15
The Yale Bowl was completed in 1914 and was the first "bowl"-shaped stadium. The Rose Bowl (game) was from 1902 to 1922 played in Tournament Park and called the Tournament East-West football game. The Rose Bowl (stadium) was completed for the 1923 game. The "Rose" part comes from the Tournament of Roses Parade held on New Year's Day in Pasadena since 1890.
Wikipedia makes me feel clever.

- Sili said...
How amusing. As I recall my one, short visit to the US, the toilets there were a lot shallower (and used an inordinately large amount of water to rather ill effect compared to even British toilets ...) than any other I recall seeing, so 'pan' would fit them a lot better than their British/European counterparts.
- 09 May, 2008 00:02
@fauxklore: yes, neither duckpin bowling, or candlepin bowling, or any other of the N. American variants are known in Britain, as far as I know. There are however many variants of skittles in different regions.
'Bowl' seems to me to be more common than 'pan' in referring to a toilet, and the instructions on toilet cleaning products seem to refer to the 'bowl' (and rim) mainly. I've seem toilets in Germany which have much shallower 'pans', though.
- 09 May, 2008 12:03
Yes those German toilets can be quite alarming when you first come across them, although these days they are less common then previously.
In my ScE upbringing I also knew both pan and bowl. My feeling (not necessarily accurate of course) is that "pan" was formerly more common but that "bowl" has for quite a long time now been steadily gaining the upper hand. To me at least that suggests that "pan" is seen as older and lower class.
- 09 May, 2008 12:34
- Simon said...
Dougal: So it's pronounced like Boules? That's the name I give to the game the Southern French call Pétanque - and thinking about it, the rules of marbles and pétanque are very similar.
- 09 May, 2008 12:56
I'm American. The only link I can think of between toilet bowl and toilet's pan, is bedpan.
- 09 May, 2008 15:35
Oh, and Linnet's Nest, Americans sometimes use the expressions "going down the tubes" or "circling the drain" when something is going very badly.
- 09 May, 2008 15:42
- lynneguist said...
I think Cameron's right--pan is probably more common among the older working class--on reflection of where I've heard it...
- 09 May, 2008 22:49
- Marc Naimark said...
Toilet pans: never heard the term, but it's true that in Germany, and sometimes in France, you find what appear to be normal toilets, but rather than having a deep bowl of water, there is a shallow upper level with almost no water in it. When you flush, the water sweeps away the contents of this "pan" into the lower level then down the drain.
- 12 May, 2008 13:01
They're for medical purposes, Marc! They make it easy to inspect the contents before flushing so you can make sure you haven't got anything nasty hiding in there. Bizarre but true. Not at all necessary any more with modern diet and medicine and so on, and they are steadily losing out to the type more common elsewhere.
The main problem I've found with them is that if it's a HEAVY use, then when you start wiping... no, never mind, I'm not going there.

I had to look back, which in the way I'm paginating as I catch up with the blog means going forward to a post I haven't yet read (yes, I know, but it makes sense to me) to find out the social status of (ten-pin) bowling in the US. I suppose I should have guessed since these days I associate the game with Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski.
I have had some experience of ten-pin bowling but haven't enjoyed it much. For one thing bowling alleys in the UK, which I assume are based on the US model, have that ambience of seeming to batter all the senses into parting with one's money in exchange for overpriced fizzy drinks and hamburgers. For another I suffered from a strange inability to let go of the ball and at least once found myself sliding ignominiously along the lane on my (BrE) bum/(AmE) fanny.
Since I moved back to my birthplace six years ago I have taken to playing bowls, however. Up in these parts we play the grittier, more robust form called crown green bowls rather than the more refined rink or lane bowls you would encounter in Brighton. So there's probably not the same social contrast with US (ten-pin) bowling although we women are still expected to be referred to as 'ladies'. There's also a vague sense (more in some locations than others) that women are permitted to use the green under sufferance. But at least we aren't expected to wear white skirts and panama hats.

Lynne, was the man who invented Skittles, whom you met in Waco, Texas, British?
Wikipedia (which of course is never wrong) cites a source that says Skittles "were first introduced in the United States in 1974, made by a company in England."
Other pages on the Internet, none of which rise to the level of completely credible sources, say things similar to this one, which says, "Skittles was invented by Rick Walden, an employee of Mars Limited, the British branch of Mars, Incorporated, based in Slough, England, in 1973."

You don't need to have salt water running through your veins to join the Summerville Salt Water Anglers, but if you do that's ok.
The club was founded four years ago by a small group of dedicated anglers looking for an excuse to get together to celebrate and promote the activity they love. It's now up to 150 members, which makes it the biggest club of its type in the area. However, club president Warren Phillips says additional members are more than welcome.
"I'd say the club has something to offer both those who have never fished in salt water and want to learn about it and those who are experienced anglers," Phillips said. "We are a family oriented club that meets to talk about fishing and holds several tournaments a year. We have a lot of fun. I mean, I can't think of many things that are as amazing as seeing a 12-year-old pull in his first big catch."
The club holds meetings at the Summerville Country Club's Miler Pavilion on the second Wednesday of every month. Each meeting typically features a guest speaker, food and a raffle. Past speakers have included fly fishing experts, representatives from the DNR and Crosby Seafood, and fishermen with unique knowledge of local waters.
The Summerville Salt Water Anglers holds monthly fishing tournaments open to youth and adult members at no charge. Prizes are awarded for the biggest catch in each of four categories: Redfish, Trout, Flounder and Sheepshead. Points can be accumulated toward an Angler of the Year and Youth Angler of the Year contest.
In addition, the club hosts a series of approximately six more formalized tournaments during the year. A small fee is required for the series, but the emphasis remains on club members having a good time.
The club also participates in charitable endeavors and outreach projects such as the Oyster Reef Project.
On Nov. 15 the club held its End of the Year Party where it named its anglers of the year and presented a $3,100 check to Dorchester Children In Crisis officials.
"The focus of that organization is helping abused and neglected children which fits right in with our vision for the club," Phillips said. "Fishing is important to us but we are also geared towards youth involvement and helping in our community."
During the celebration Summerville Salt Water Anglers tournament directors Doug Connelley and Jody Tucker presented the Youth Angler of the Year Award to to Ian Fladd and the Adult Angler of the Year Award to David Fladd.
Visit http://summervillesaltwateranglers.com for more information on the club.
