Three plead guilty to roles in large-scale identity theft ring
July 12, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – Three more individuals have admitted their roles in a large-scale, sophisticated identity theft scheme that led to dozens of arrests last fall, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Jong-Hoon Kim, 50, of Ridgefield, N.J., pleaded guilty today to a three-count Information charging him with unlawfully producing identification documents, aggravated identity theft, and conspiracy to commit wire fraud.
Sung-Rok Joh, 53, of Palisades Park, N.J., pleaded guilty on July 7, 2011, to an Information charging him with conspiracy to unlawfully produce a counterfeit identification document and commit credit card fraud.
In-Sook Lee, 33, of Palisades Park, N.J., pleaded guilty on June 29, 2011, to an Information charging her with conspiracy to unlawfully produce a counterfeit identification document and commit credit card fraud. All three defendants have entered their guilty pleas before U.S. District Judge Katharine S. Hayden in Newark federal court.
Kim and Joh were arrested on September 16, 2010, in a coordinated law enforcement takedown of 53 individuals in connection with widespread, sophisticated identity theft and fraud. Lee turned herself in to the authorities in October 2010.
According to documents filed in this case and statements made in court:
Kim, Joh and Lee conspired with Sang-Hyun Park, a/k/a "Jimmy," and others to obtain social security cards beginning with the prefix "586." Social security cards with that prefix were issued by the United States to individuals, usually from China, who were employed in American territories, such as American Samoa, Guam, and Saipan. Park is alleged to have been the leader of a criminal organization headquartered in Bergen County, N.J., that obtained, brokered, and sold identity documents to customers for the purpose of committing credit card fraud, bank fraud, tax fraud, and other crimes.
The Park Criminal Enterprise engaged in the fraudulent "build up" of credit scores associated with the Chinese identities. They did so by adding the Chinese identity as an authorized user to the credit card accounts of various co-conspirators who received a fee for this service – members of the enterprise's credit build up teams. By attaching the Chinese identities to these existing credit card accounts, the teams increased the credit scores associated with the Chinese identities to between 700 and 800. The members of the build up teams knew neither the real person to whom the identity belonged nor virtually any of the customers who purchased the identities.
After building the credit associated with these identities, Park and his co-conspirators directed, coached, and assisted his customers to open bank accounts and obtain credit cards. Park and his co-conspirators then used these accounts and credit cards to commit fraud. In particular, Park relied on several collusive merchants who possessed credit card processing, or swipe, machines. For a fee, known as a "kkang fee," these collusive merchants charged the fraudulently obtained credit cards, although no transaction took place. After receiving the money into their merchant accounts from the credit card related to these fraudulent transactions, the collusive merchants gave the money to Park and his co-conspirators, minus their "kkang fee."
On April 28, 2008, Kim and other members of the Park Criminal Enterprise traveled from Bergen County to Chicago. Thereafter, Kim used "586" social security numbers in the names of individuals with the initials "Z.A." and "R.C.," and other false documents to fraudulently obtain Illinois photo identification cards in the names of those individuals. Kim made another trip to Chicago on October 7, 2008, and using the same fraudulent documents, obtained an Illinois driver's license in the name of the individual with the initials "Z.A." Kim made a third trip to Chicago on November 11, 2008, and used a "586" social security number in the name of an individual with the initials "C.S.H." and other false documents to fraudulently obtain another driver's license in the name of C.S.H. After returning to Bergen County with the identification cards in his possession, Kim used them and the identities of Z.A., R.C. and C.S.H. to open bank accounts or apply for and obtain credit cards from various banks and stores. Through this scheme, Kim and his co-conspirators fraudulently obtained in excess of $100,000 in merchandise and cash.
In addition, Kim was a collusive merchant for the Park Criminal Enterprise. Kim used the Z.A. identity to open a merchant account in the name of Red Coco Int'l and the R.C. identity to establish a merchant account in the name of Nabis Club. Red Coco Int'l and Nabis Club were two fictitious companies that neither sold products nor provided any services. After obtaining the credit card processing machines for these fictitious companies, Park and other members of the Park Criminal Enterprise provided Kim with fraudulently obtained credit cards belonging to customers of the enterprise. Kim charged these credit cards and provided portions of the cash back to Park and his co-conspirators.
At his hearing, Joh admitted that he was a customer of the Park Criminal Enterprise. Joh purchased a "586" social security card in the name of an individual with the initials "L.Z." from co-conspirator Park and used it to fraudulently obtain an Illinois photo identification card in the name L.Z. Thereafter, Joh used this fraudulently obtained identity to apply for and obtain credit cards from various banks and stores. Through this scheme, Joh and his co-conspirators fraudulently obtained in excess of $79,000 in merchandise and cash.
At her hearing, Lee admitted that she was a customer of the Park Criminal Enterprise. Lee purchased a "586" social security card in the name of an individual with the initials "P.F." from co-conspirator Park and used it to fraudulently obtain an Illinois driver's license in the name P.F. Thereafter, Lee used this fraudulently obtained identity to apply for and obtain credit cards and loans from various banks and stores. Through this scheme, Lee and her co-conspirators fraudulently obtained in excess of $16,000 in merchandise and cash.
At sentencing, Kim faces a maximum potential penalty of 15 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, on the unlawful production of an identity document charge (Count One); a mandatory minimum of two years in prison on the aggravated identity theft charge (Count Two); and a maximum potential penalty of 20 years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or twice the pecuniary gain or victim loss from the offense on the conspiracy to commit wire fraud charge (Count Three). Sentencing for Kim is scheduled for October 17, 2011.
At sentencing, Joh and Lee each face a maximum potential penalty on the conspiracy charge of five years in prison and a fine of $250,000, or twice the pecuniary gain or loss from the offense. Sentencing for Joh is scheduled for October 17, 2011. Sentencing for Lee is scheduled for October 11, 2011.
Kim and Lee were detained pending sentencing. Joh was released on a $250,000 bond.

Sci-Fi Strippin': More Cosplay Burlesque Action
Did I really get drunk at lunch and spend the last two hours asleep on the john? You know I did! And since my brain never recovered from the nap (plus my legs fell asleep and I beat my face on the towel bar standing up), here's a little burlesque cosplay action to end the week. LA Weekly reporter/photographer Erin Broadly sent me these shots from the recent 'Ladies of Sci-Fi Burlesque' show at Bordello (do you need a gaffer next time?) including "Pris from Blade Runner, Ripley from the Alien franchise, Maria from Metropolis, Aeon Flux, Barbarella and Metroid's Samus Aran." I posted a SFW shot or two from each act after the jump, but you'll need to check out LA Weekly's coverage for the full 42-picture set (some NSFW). So yeah, if you need me I'll be drunk for the next 72 hours. Did I say 72? Because I meant 48. No, no I didn't either. Somebody's writing tyrannosaurs wrecked on Monday!
Hit the jump for a bunch more and link to the entire gallery.

A Big Deal Goodbye: Alexei Barrionuevo On His Decision To Leave The Times
There are few things that The Observer loves reading about more than the lurid world of ultra high-end real estate. From Eastern European oligarchs buying $88 million dorm rooms for their daughters to billionaires butting heads over custom renovations to their mega-penthouses, real estate is a both a personal and a professional obsession. And during this past year, there are few reporters that we have enjoyed reading more than New York Times's Alexei Barrionuevo, who has chronicled the ups and, well, the ups of the trophy market in his Big Deal column over the past 16 months.
So we were sad to hear that Mr. Barrionuevo will be leaving his column and The Times to work on a documentary series called Project Allegro. Read More

Item # TLD0257
2013 This model is no longer in stock.
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Mountain Helmets in stock than that.
Troy Lee Designs D3 Carbon Fiber Helmet $0.00
To simply call it a brain bucket seems disrespectful.
TLD began over 30 years ago. A teenager named Troy Lee painted helmets for his friends in his parents' garage. The operation is bigger now. Troy Lee Designs has become one of the most trusted names in motocross and mountain bike helmets and apparel. Always on the cutting edge of performance and design, TLD is one of those companies that sets the bar while everyone else scrambles to catch up. The D3 Carbon Fiber Helmet is a perfect example of this process in action. Of course, someone else might eventually design a helmet as good as the D3 CF, but by that time, who knows what Troy Lee will have cooked up?
The D3 CF is made with Troy Lee's carbon fiber shell. Carbon fiber has become the dream material for helmets because of its light weight and incredible durability. The helmet also comes with two visors, so you can pop a new one on in the event of a visor-smashing digger. The shell is accented with titanium hardware for light weight, strength, and additional bling. Troy Lee also threw in a custom helmet bag for a little added protection when you toss your helmet into the back of your buddy's beater shuttle-wagon.
The interior of the D3 CF is as sexy as its exterior. Full incremental sizing, rather than a cheesy adjustment system, gives the D3 a completely custom feel. Dual-density shock pads provide luxurious comfort and unprecedented protection. Incredibly, the D3 exceeds CPSC 1203, CE EN 1077, CE EN 1078, ASTM F1952 and ASTM F2040 safety standards. That's whole heap of standards. Troy Lee's comfort liner is completely removable, washable, and replaceable, so you don't have to buy a new helmet every year, no matter how funky the liner gets. The liner is also made with CoolMax and Dri-Lex moisture-wicking materials to keep your head dry and cool while you ride. Troy Lee also equipped the D3 with quick-release cheek pads to make the helmet easier to remove in case of an emergency.
Troy Lee didn't stop at padding to make the D3 the most comfortable helmet on the market. The D3's ventilation system keeps the air flowing with an advanced intake/exhaust system. 20 high-flow intake and exhaust ports, together with a new, deeper EPS channeling system provide cooling airflow through the helmet, so you won't feel like your head's on fire at the end of your run.
The Troy Lee Designs D3 Carbon Fiber Helmet comes in Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large and is available in four colors–Pinstripe Black, Team Red/yellow, Peat World Champ Red, and Pinstripe Yellow.

Practical Protection
Kevin K

There's a reason everyone and their brother runs these helmets at the bike park or DH race and it's not only because of the looks. TLD nailed it with the D3 by having a super lightweight shell that breathes super well for banging out lap after lap. Not only was the exterior looked after when designing such a great helmet, but the inner pads are completely removable so you can wash them every so often. I have been able to test the protection per say of this helmet, but things such as easily removable cheek pads are another small aspect of this helmet to know that everything was considered. A helmet bag is included which keeps it looking fresh instead of rolling around in the back of your truck. As for sizing, it does fit a bit tight, I would recommend following the sizing chart. If you are borderline, size up.
Good Stuff

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I have ridden in this helmet since its release. Its is a bit larger looking than a D2. Carbon is lighter than the composite, and more impact protection that the D2. The shape is more aerodynamic. Has removable liner washable liner. Has more ventilation than the D2. I have only used it for skiing.
Member since
Hi Seth, I've run across Troy Lee Designs D3 Seth Morrison Helmet and love the graphics. Any idea if they are still available?
Excellent fit and comfort
Ben B.
Member since
I just picked this up and although the price is pretty high the fit, comfort, and ventilation is hard to beat. For sizing reference I wear and 7 1/2 fitted hat with short hair and 7 5/8 with long hair and the XL was spot on.
The best fullface helmet I've used
Chris Aidan
Member since
When it comes to my helmet I am always willing the make the investment that provides the most protection available. I have ridden the POC Cortex, the Specialized Dissident, the Fox V3R Carbon, and a couple of other fullface helmets over the years. I have always had issues finding the best fit, either the helmet would spin even when ratcheted down to my chin as tightly as possible or I would have a ton of up down movement when pulling the mouth guard down, the Troy Lee D3 has taken care of those issues and makes me feel fully protected.
The inside is super plush, it comes with an extra visor and I love how understated the D3 carbon looks (some of the Troy Lee stuff can be too flashy for my taste). It fits perfectly with my Leatt neck brace, I now understand why you see so many people riding DH with these helmets.
Quality Helmet
Chad Cordell
Member since
This is the standard when it comes to full face helmets. I used the D2 for many years and this is the evolution of that helmet. The fit is very similar. It's snug out of the box but fits just right after a few rides. The venting is awesome and is an improvement over the D2. Other features are removable pads, extra visor, and a zippered helmet bag. If you're looking for something a little less expensive check out the D3 composite.

Citi. Back in 2009 I had a CC with them and they wanted to raise my interest rate to 30% (from 17). No amount of pointing out that I had a perfect payment history over a 9 year relationship with them would convince them not to raise the rate. So I closed the account and never looked back.
You cancelled your Freedom after only 3 months? FWIW, Chase has lowered my APR upon request on my Amazon card. It's my understanding that 15.24% is the standard rate for their regular rewards earning cards while for the Slate, their lowest advertised rate is 11.99%.
10-21-2013 04:15 PM - edited 10-21-2013 04:17 PM
@parakleet: I did cancel my Freedom after 3 months. After the poor customer service, insulting interest rate, and toy credit limit (Which at the time and for the foreseeable future, I would be unwilling to take a HP to increase), I really didn't see any way that they could make me a happy customer, so I decided to cut my losses. I know it probably didn't do good things to my credit score, but I decided that I had just had enough of them. Especially when I had several other cards that I was happy with.
Any card managed by FIA isn't touching my wallet.
Waiting a few months before applyying or getting a WalMart card would have been better than Chase Freedom. Service and website are fine but it's been stuck at $3K 2+ years despite regular use. Can't pull the plug on it right now but they'll be first to go when utilization won't suffer too much.
Is it BofA or a partner card? In my short experience with BofA, they have been very generous. I can always call up an analyst and see if I can get an increase or if I qualify for anything mroe than what I have. I am not sure FIA partner cards would have that ease of access to credit analysts though. If it is BofA, make sure you call them! The number I use is 888-260-4696 or 866-421-8153. Also, if the first person doesn't give you the increase you are looking for, call back. These people are making individual, personal judgement-based choices, so you are bound to eventually get someone who will give you what you want or meet you halfway, at least.

It's unfortunate that you did close it, but that's up to you. I was approved for 1000 for the Amazon Visa at 21.24 and the Chase Freedom for 3000 at 17.99. They are now at 5800 and 13000 just one year later and I have much more credit with them on four more cards and have two cards with a 10.24 interest rate. Time will always make things go your way in the credit world. I know people say it's the "principle", but did you plan on carrying a balance on the card anyway? If not, why did it matter. You shouldn't feel insulted because of an interest rate; they aren't giving it to you to make fun of you. Cards with rewards will usually have a high interest rate, especially from big lenders. The two 10.24 cards I mentioned are Ink cards and they usually give lower rates for those.
I don't know how long ago this way, but perhaps if you had kept it, the limit would be higher and interest rate lower. 1200 Doesn't seem to be too off from the cards you have right now. You also mentioned having to send student documentation to Discover for their card, so could that be why Chase gave you a low limit? Low interest rates are usually reserved for people with a very long and perfect history. A short history isn't likely to get the lowest interest rate. If you want a card with a low interest rate, I suggest a credit union or at least a card that doesn't have rewards.

A card from my local credit union: This was my first credit card. The CL was never increased even when I used the card. The CL remained at $500, which made the card useless to me. I recently cancelled this card.
Not all lenders will increase the limit without the customer requesting it. Did you ever attempt an increase on it?
It just amazes me sometimes how people think about money. I've spent basically a life living in poverty, I have to be thankful for everything I have, everything I'm given, and everything I earn. I however have spent much of my working life around very successful people who easily make hundreds or more times what I make, some even into the millions. Some of these people, despite having all of their money, are thankful for everything, and never let their money effect how they regard others, or their possessions. However some people work for something, and become too proud of it. They let it go to their heads. Every time I see someone say that a limit, CLI, Interest Rate, etc are just insulting, or they feel demeaned by it; I can't help but think wow, that person doesn't really get it. Being disappointed is one thing, feeling insulted is another. If the lender thought you wouldn't be a risk to them or their jobs, they'd have given it to you when you called in and spoke to them. And what they gave you, whether it be 500, 1000, 5000, or more, is something you don't have secured, it's given on good faith. Be thankful for what they extended to you, what they trusted you with, because they didn't have to give you anything. You are not entitled to their business or Credit Card, they are a service provider, and entrust it to you. Be thankful for what you have, because some people will work just as hard as you or harder, and still never have what you have

My friend Brian Katz has a propensity for stirring the proverbial pot, and I love that about him. As the head of a mobility department for one of the global giants, Brian has a unique viewpoint on what he and his users want ... it's just not the typical 'security viewpoint' but then again, that's alright.
On his blog today (appropriately named) "A Screw's Loose" he wrote a very interesting piece on herding kangaroos which actually discusses the rise and fall of the mobile device management (MDM) market and it's many, many, many offshoots. Brian declares (again?) that "MDM as a product is dead". Now, it so happens there are people on Twitter who have opinions on these types of things, and when provoked the conversation gets ... well ... interesting.
I'm going to quote Brian's piece here, because after you've read the entire thing these words will stick with you
"What one has to remember is that MDM became another symptom of the sickness that IT has fallen into and vendors have capitalized upon which is characterized by legacy thinking. IT has always wanted to own the device. The data and the apps were always less important than protecting the device." -Brian Katz
So here we have MDM as a symptom of the sickness that ails IT, and not a cure as many in enterprise information security see it. Odd, wouldn't you say? I mean to point out here that while IT people seem to be turning to MDM more and more (I know internally we're doing this and it makes me nuts!) to secure their endpoints, this is causing more pain than it could ever solve. Why, you ask? Simple Watson - because MDM feeds ITs need to own the endpoint, and this approach is just plain wrong, and doesn't translate into the future desired state.
Let me explain, before my security brethren come knocking on my door with pitchforks and torches.
I've said it time and again, security has defaulted to the perimeter since we could never quite get the 3 main things - identity and access, change management, asset management - quite right. This strange obsession with falling back to the perimeter has led us to the desire to control every endpoint where possible corporate critical data could live. We used to lock down the servers and corporate desktops, and it was easy. Then when data went mobile through tablets, laptops and mobile gadgets we started to panic and IT Security departments would mandate that every device "on the network" and that could house corporate data was under the control of IT. This is strict control, as Brian points out in his post, from the cumbersome full-disk encryption, to multiple layers of 'agents' which protect us from the bogeyman, keep viruses at bay, and federate our identities to disparate systems.
How's all this working? Be honest with yourself and the answer is simple - "it's NOT".
Naturally, when we start talking about BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) the conversation goes wonky. I won't debate whether BYOD is a good idea or not, because it's happening. This is sort of like debating whether sunrise is a good idea for the population or not ...meanwhile the sun will rise and you're wasting time when you could be mitigating. Now you're staring down the wrong end of a pointy stick called BYOD, and you're going to push MDM to it? LOL - that stands for "laughing out loud" as in I'm laughing at you if that's your strategy. Think about your strategy from the customer perspective. I, the owner of the device, bring in my device to work on corporate 'stuff' and you think you're going to push some agent to my device that controls and monitors? No thank you sir. Those personal family photos, music, texts, tweets and web browsing (hey, it's my device, right?) are off limits ... so MDM is a non-starter and we're back to disliking IT.
From the other perspective, the security perspective that is, what options do we have?! It's not like you can actually depend on applications to secure the data and developers to secure the application. Look at the statistics from any application security report and you'll understand why that starts to sound Loony Tunes ...at least in the short term. Knowing that you have to protect the organization, and that any options to 'secure the applications and data' is at very least off in the distance - what else can we do? On Twitter we discussed MAM (Mobile Applications Management) and other options, but at best these are in the process of maturing ...at least that's my limited view on things from experience with the mess.
We have some work to do ahead of us folks in Enterprise Information Security, or IT Security ... there is both a short-term problem and a long-term problem - tactical and strategic. On the tactical side we need to figure out where the bleeding is coming from and do something to stop it. MDM may very well be your short-term salvation ...or MAM may be the way to go. Long-term (strategically) you need to ensure that your focus is on identity & access management, risk-averse (secure) application development, change management and asset management.
This isn't an easy problem to solve, and to be honest it's our own **bleep** fault. IT and enterprise security has spent years misunderstanding (and in some case ignoring) the big-picture problems and instead slapping band-aids and duct tape on everything - well ... the revolution is here and the chickens are coming home to roost.
I still don't feel comfortable with where this ended up... because I'm not comfortable with it being an either/or situation. Taking over the customer's device is a no-go, and trusting the customer is just as dangerous in equal amounts.
I can't help but point out again, we did this to ourselves.

Nice post but I think you left out the most important piece in your conclusion. It's the data stupid...if we do all those other things but don't also focus on the data we forget that although we built an awesome brick wall with doors that require identity, and we build apps that are good and secure, we forgot that we had kangaroos behind the wall that just hopped over and spread throughout the world, with no one the wiser.
Data has to be part of the equation, which is why I brought up the future which will hopefully be MIM, where the policy and security follows the data and the endpoint and apps have basic controls and APIs that can understand that policy and security (identity is part of those 2 pieces). There really is hope here, if you can see through the legacy fog.

Key take-away is the bottom line on MDM...
"MDM feeds ITs need to own the endpoint, and this approach is just plain wrong"
Bingo. I agree with Brian regularly that MDM features are useful, but it's the beginning, not the end. Mobility has brought the fight to our door, with so many endpoints and devices that it's finally becoming obvious to IT - the data is what must be secured, not the device. The device is quite literally disposable.

I enjoyed reading your write-up. I'm involved in several conversations every week with our customers trying to get them to see the scenario from the business process point. I tell them the key here is to protect the system, i.e. applications and the data. Not the mobile devices. One can lose a device, break a device or change a device what remains constant is the user identity, the company's access policies and the business process that they are trying to conduct.

Project Update
Investment Companies: Disclosures about Investments in Another Investment Company
Last updated on November 7, 2013. Please refer to the Current Technical Plan for information about the expected release dates of exposure documents and final standards.
(Updated sections are indicated with an asterisk *)
The staff has prepared this summary of Board decisions for information purposes only. Those Board decisions are tentative and do not change current accounting. Official positions of the FASB are determined only after extensive due process and deliberations.
*Project Objective
*Decisions Reached at Last Meeting
*Summary of Decisions Reached to Date
*Next Steps
*Board/Other Public Meeting Dates
*Background Information
*Contact Information
*Project Objective
The objective of this project is to require disclosures in an investment company's financial statements that will provide transparency into the risks, returns, and expenses of an investee that is also an investment company.
*Decisions Reached at Last Meeting
See meeting minutes below.
*Summary of Decisions Reached to DatE (AS OF October 23, 2013)
Scope The disclosures would be required for:
- Investments in unconsolidated investment companies.
- The first level of investments in another investment company, not to the second or third level of investments. However, the Board decided that the guidance would include language to discourage a reporting investment company from creating additional levels of investments to circumvent the proposed disclosures.
A reporting investment company would disclose the following about each investment in another investment company (that is, an investee fund) that has a carrying value that equals or exceeds 5 percent of reporting company's net assets as of the date of its statement of financial position:
- The reporting investment company's share of the dollar amounts of management fees and incentive fees associated with the investee fund. If the reporting investment company cannot obtain information about the dollar amount of its share of the fees, it would disclose instead the percentage amounts and computational basis for each such fee.
- The reporting investment company's fair value of, and its share of income/loss from, its investment in an investee fund.
- For investments in which the reporting investment company owns more than 20 percent of an investee fund, the reporting investment company would disclose whether its ownership percentage is between 20 to 50 percent of the net assets of the investee fund or whether its ownership percentage is greater than 50 percent of the net assets of the investee fund.
Those disclosures would not apply to consolidated investment company subsidiaries.
In a master-feeder structure, a feeder fund would be required to attach the master fund's financial statements along with its financial statements, which would satisfy the disclosure requirements. For structures that are not master-feeder structures, an investment company would be permitted to attach the investee fund's financial statements along with its financial statements to satisfy the disclosure requirements.
Investments Held by an Investee Fund
All investments companies (regulated and nonregulated) would be required to disclose information about each investment owned by an investee fund that exceeds 5 percent of the reporting investment company's net assets at the reporting date. The information disclosed about the investment would be the requirements in paragraph 946-210-50-9.
Applicability to Interim Periods
An investment company would provide the disclosures for any financial statements that include a schedule of investments (regardless of whether those financial statements are for an annual or interim period).
The disclosures would be applied prospectively and early adoption would be permitted.
The comment period end date would be the later of 90 days from the date of issuance of the Exposure Draft or May 15, 2014.
*Next Steps
The Board directed the staff to draft a proposed Accounting Standards Update incorporating the decisions reached. Please refer to the Current Technical Plan for information about the expected release date of the exposure draft.
*Board/Other Public Meeting Dates
The Board meeting minutes are provided for the information and convenience of constituents who want to follow the Board's deliberations. All of the conclusions reported are tentative and may be changed at future Board meetings. Decisions become final only after a formal written ballot to issue a final standard.
*October 23, 2013 | FASB Board Meeting —Decisions about scope, proposed disclosures, threshold, applicability to interim periods, and transition |
March 13, 2013 | FASB Board Meeting—Decisions about the next steps. |
January 23, 2013 | FASB Board Meeting—Decisions about the threshold and "as of" date for disclosures |
August 29, 2012 | FASB Board Meeting—Decisions about disclosures requirements |
*Background Information
In October 2011, the FASB issued proposed Accounting Standards Update, Financial Services—Investment Companies (Topic 946): Amendments to the Scope, Measurement, and Disclosure Requirements (ED). The ED would have required an investment company to consolidate controlling financial interests in another investment company in a fund-of-funds structure. The Board reasoned that consolidation would provide transparency into underlying investments and obligations to which the parent investment company has economic exposure.
However, in response to the ED, many constituents stated that the Board's concerns regarding transparency into the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of a controlled investee fund could be addressed through expanded disclosures in the notes to the financial statements rather than through consolidation of the controlled investee fund. Constituents stated that information should be provided about investee funds that are significant to the reporting investment company and not just those that are controlled.
In light of the feedback on the ED, the Board tentatively decided in August 2012 to require certain disclosures about significant investments in investee funds. In order to assess the operationality of the potential disclosures, the staff conducted limited outreach with constituents. After considering the input from this outreach, the Board decided in October 2013 to require the disclosures described in the summary of decisions reached .

"When you have experienced receivers, they can meet with their quarterback on the sideline and discuss routes with better effect," Mays said. "Having two seniors there, they understand how to beat a particular defender."
South Charleston has not appeared in the playoffs since its eventually forfeited win against Brooke in the 2010 semifinals. The last time SC missed the playoffs in consecutive years was 2003-04, the final seasons of a 10-year playoff drought experienced by the program in seasons coached by Todd Chevalier (who went 14-36 in five seasons from 1996-2000) and Vernon Redman (15-37 from 2001-05).
Chevalier sought a return to his former post after Messinger's retirement, but SC Principal Mike Arbogast gave the Eagles' highly successful offensive coordinator the nod most expected he was due.
That belief stemmed not only from Messinger's tendency to highlight the work of his assistants to all who would listen but also from the fact that it was Mays' version of the zone-read option offense that helped paved the way for the Black Eagles' to win state championship seasons in 2008 and '09.
Chevalier's son, Tyler, was a junior offensive lineman at South Charleston in 2012. He now attends George Washington.
The departure of the rising senior underscores what already looked to be Mays' biggest chore in 2013: building a formidable offensive line to front SC's shotgun formation.
"We have eight or nine offensive linemen that we think can start and play," Mays said. "Biggest thing is we want to know who can be a center.
"Every kid takes snaps on a daily basis whether they're a tackle or a guard. That's where you have to build out from, is the center."
Mays, who served as SC's offensive line coach in 2006 and 2007 before assuming offensive coordinator duties late in the '07 season, said rising sophomore Andrew Bishop (6-2, 285) and senior Khance Johnson (6-1, 230) are two who have excelled during the offseason, at guard and tackle, respectively.
"We have some big kids who can move," Mays said. "I don't think we're as short-handed as we look."
South Charleston opens the regular season at George Washington on Thursday, Aug. 29.

We purchased the Tacoma weathered coffee table and Tacoma Media center as a bundle as it recommend us on the website and even got a discount to do so. Then the products came and shipped very quickly....They are two very different colors, the media center very dark the coffee table very light. We sent the coffee table back and spoke to customer service who told us they would find a darker one....We received the exact same color very quickly. We again spoke to customer service atleast 5 times throughout the ensuing weeks and finally were told they do not match and there is no darker coffee table. We were offered a refund on one of the items. Shipping - Quick Price - Great But we were very mislead about the Tacoma items matching and to purchase them together, they even have pictures of them all in the same room, but they do not match at all in real life.
I returned both the table and end table after opening one box. There is no grey in the wood at all. the "weathered look" looked to be created by a stamp or machine that just repeated swirls over and over again . A real disappointment.
I was so excited about getting my new coffee table, so excited that the day it arrived I made my husband come come on his lunch break to put it together!!.... what was my surprise, when we open the box we notice the top of the table was damaged with what seemed to be 4 nail dents in a row, in two different spots, after taking a closer look, we noticed that does same exact dents where on each side of the table, on top of both shelves, so that is 8 dents! very noticeable, we still put it together to see how it would look in the room, and I have to say I felt stupid, my hsband didnt needed to come home at all, the assembly was very very easy and the table was sturdy, it looked amaizing in my living room, so I decided to call and see about getting a different one, when I called the company they said they didnt had any in stock and that I neede to call overstock.com to get a replacement, after talking to the very friendly customer service at overstock.com they said that I would have to wait about 20 days to get a new one!... that was it for me! it made me realize I didnt like that table good enough to wait so long for a new one and chance it on getting another damaged piece, so I went ahead and returned the table and got an amazing deal on a different coffee table.... bottom line... its a great piece, but waaaay to damaged!! I cannot believe someone would send this item to a customer looking like this...
Loved the styling and wood on this table. Super heavy and nice quality. Not packed from manufacturer properly so it came very damaged. Tried again with result the same second time. Customer service was excellent resolving issue.
The item arrived badly damaged, the corner was missing from the particle board top of the table. I immediately contacted customer support who said they would ship out a new part and it would not be a problem. Two days later they told me I cannot have a new part (it is out of stock) and I can either have $@) refund or $$) credit or return the whole product. I would not recommend the product because of the low quality and faulty shipping container. This will be a very large hassle to return, and not worth the energy.
Great product great price Happy happy happy aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa++++++++++++++++++
We bought all 3 pieces and they look great together in our living room. Easy to put together.
Just assembled my new coffee table. Love it! It looks great, as shown in the picture. It's very heavy and sturdy. It arrived undamaged, was easy to assemble, and appears to be well-crafted. Glad I bought it and would recommend it to a friend.
Read mixed reviews with regards to this coffee table but took a chance as it felt the positive outweighed the negative. Was right - arrived almost immediately after purchase, was simple to put together, and looks beautiful. Highly recommended.
Excellent quality, sturdy and heavy. However the weathered look is manufactured. Great table for the price. I am very pleased. Thanks overstock!

Press reviews
"As individual Tours stages highlight the hidden corners of France, imbibers can now find fascinating regional wines, such as this full-bodied, racey red made from the local Negrette grape in Fronton, in the Haute-Garonne. Ideal with all grilled meats and Meditteranean foods." Applies to 2009 Vintage
Terry Kirby, Independent on Sunday , 14th January 2013

- Product information
- Peyres de Loubert Fronton
- Vintage: 2010
- This is an elegant style of red wine from the Fronton region of south west France. It is made with the Negrette grape, unique to the region, which gives rose petal and red fruit flavours with a hint of white pepper. To preserve quality, this wine has been minimally treated and may throw a harmless sediment, which will not impair quality.
- About this bottle: The Selle family have lovingly farmed their vineyards sustainably for three generations and winemaker Nicolas Selle uses no oak to preserve the characteristic aromas of peonies and violets typical to the Fronton style of wine. Fruity, floral and spicy, this versatile wine pairs well with many types of cuisine, or drinks very well on its own. Try it with Italian dishes, grilled meat or lightly spiced Asian food.

College: | Azusa Pacific '90 |
Position: | Head Coach |
Experience: | 3rd Season |
"Headed in the right direction" after making huge strides with one of the youngest teams in NCAA Division I a year ago, head coach Jim Hayford enters his third season at the helm of the EWU program.
The continued development of young players was the focus in the 2012-13 season, including six freshmen/sophomores who each started at least three games with a collective total of 97 starts. Hayford's third Eastern team will return starting experience at all five positions and he hopes that will translate to winning more of the close games they lost in the 2012-13 season.
"Ultimately, our players have to get a little better and our coaches have to coach better," he said at the conclusion of the season. "We were young and we are still going to be young (in 2013-14). We'll see how much we learned from these lessons. But I do feel like everything is headed in the right direction."
Now 279-122 (.696) in 14 seasons as a head coach, the Eagles made great strides in Hayford's first season at the helm in 2011-12. He led the school to its most successful season in six years and concluded the season 15-17 overall and 8-8 record in the Big Sky Conference to place fourth.
His team improved by five victories from the year before, as the Eagles equaled their most wins since Eastern made its first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in 2004. The Eagles won their first postseason game since 2006, beating Idaho State in the quarterfinals (81-75) before falling to eventual champion Montana (74-66) in the semifinals.
In addition, Eastern won six road games – its most since EWU won seven in the 2002-03 season and six the year after. And Eastern's average attendance of 2,286 was double the 1,101 average of the 2010-11 season when EWU finished 10-20 overall and 7-9 in the league. Eastern's crowds of 3,617 versus Montana State on Jan. 28 and 3,512 against Montana on Jan. 26 rank ninth and 10th, respectively, on EWU's all-time list of single game recorded attendance.
And for the first time since 2006, the Eagles also had their first non-losing conference season and hosted and won their first game in the Big Sky Conference Championship.
"I'm really proud of our players, and proud of the season we had," said Hayford, who has also had tremendous fund-raising success through his Sixth-Man Club. "We advanced Eastern Basketball further than it had in a long time, and that's what I want our players to hang their hat on."
In just two years, Hayford has had players earn some of the highest honors they can win in the league. In his first season, his players were honored on the All-Big Sky Conference first team (Cliff Colimon), BSC All-Tournament squad (Colimon) and Big Sky Newcomer of the Year (Collin Chiverton) – only the third such honor for an Eagle and the first since 2002. In 2012-13, freshman sensation Venky Jois was selected as the Big Sky Freshman of the Year, becoming just the fifth Eagle – all in the last 12 seasons -- to win the award. He also earned honorable mention All-Big Sky honors from the coaches.
After spending 10 seasons building nearby Whitworth University into a NCAA Division III powerhouse, Hayford was announced as Eastern's new head men's basketball coach on March 29, 2011. He is Eastern's 17th head coach in history and ninth at the NCAA Division I level (since 1983-84).
In his tenure at the helm of the Pirates, Hayford had a record of 217-57 and a winning percentage of .792. He coached the Pirates to eight 20-win seasons, six appearances in the NCAA Division III Tournament (including the last five seasons in a row), five Northwest Conference titles, three NCAA DIII Sweet 16 appearances (2008, 2010, 2011) and one Elite Eight appearance (2011).
"We are hiring the right person at the right time for Eastern basketball," Eastern athletic director Bill Chaves said when Hayford was hired. "Coach Hayford has had tremendous success on the court as his record attests. He has also had tremendous success with the academics and leadership of student-athletes. And his ability to get into the community is outstanding. We could not be more excited in bringing Jim and his family into the EWU family."
Hayford, 45, earned five NWC Coach of the Year awards and was honored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches as the West Region Coach of the Year in both the 2009-10 and 2010-11 seasons. In Hayford's final two years at Whitworth, the Pirates were 54-5 overall and 31-1 in league play. Whitworth was ranked 21-consecutive times in the D3hoops.com NCAA Division III rankings over Hayford's final three seasons at Whitworth.
During his 10 seasons leading the Pirates, Hayford coached six Northwest Conference Players of the Year – Bryan Depew (2003), Lance Pecht (2006), Bryan Williams (2007), Ryan Symes (2008), Nate Montgomery (2010) and Michael Taylor (2011). During the same period, 25 Whitworth players earned All-NWC honors, including 18 first-team selections.
Hayford said all five positions on the court were represented by those players of the year. He said that illustrates his program's ability to adjust and adapt.
"We've been able to run a system that features the different strengths of great individual players every year at every position," Hayford explained. "I think I'm adjustable and adaptable to utilize the strengths of our team. We determine what new talent we need to complement our returning players, and then we put together a solid core that can help give our program a winning record."
"Our goal is to quickly get this program to a winning Big Sky season and post-season success," he added.
Including his two seasons at Sioux Falls (1999-2001), Hayford's win-loss record is 279-122 (.696) in 14 seasons as a head coach. At the time he left Whitworth, his career winning percentage ranked among the top 10 among all active NCAA Division III coaches.
"It's a dream come true to lead and coach a NCAA Division I program," Hayford added. "I feel like I'm joining a winner when you look at what the Eastern Athletic Department has been able to accomplish, including the national championship in football. The future is great here in Cheney and I'm so proud to be an Eagle. We are looking forward to taking the Eastern basketball program to a new level of success."
After 10 Years at Whitworth, Relationships Continue . . .
In his 10 years at Whitworth, Hayford developed solid relationships on a number of levels. Most notably, with his players.
"The basis of my coaching is a highly-relational style," he explained. "We want our players to be solid and comfortable in their relationship with me – there needs to be give-and-take, feedback and communication going both ways. The days of a coach doing all the talking and the players doing all the listening is over.
"I'm consistent at finding out what is their best and what they consider excellence, and then hold them to that every day that I coach them," he continued. "By developing consistency and relationships, insisting on excellence and being able to do things together, we're going to create a culture where this is a true team. We need to be sold on each other, committed to each other and we need to be able to count on each other. That will be the strength of our program."
Those relationships extend to the high school coaching community.
"When you live in one place for 10 years, you get to know all of the high school coaches in the state and the region," he said. "Those relationships transfer. While teams at the Division I level were recruiting one player on a particular team, I was building a great relationship with that coach recruiting another player on that team."
Like the Eastern football program, which captivated the community and its alumni base with its run to the 2010 NCAA Division I title, Hayford hopes his program does the same in the coming years.
"We want Eastern Washington basketball to be a meeting place where the community wants to come together, take pride in the kind of players that are on the court, want to cheer them on and share in their success," he said. "We want to bring a lot of people to the party."
Hayford's 2010-11 Whitworth Squad Led by Former Eagle Michael Taylor . . .
Whitworth spent three weeks in the 2010-11 season ranked No. 1 in the D3hoops.com NCAA Division III rankings, including the top ranking at the end of the regular season. The Pirates set a school record for victories and winning percentage in finishing 28-2 (.933), and ended the season ranked fifth nationally after losing at Wooster 76-66 on March 12, 2011. Whitworth advanced to the NCAA Division III Sectional Final (Elite Eight) for the first time in school history, while making its fifth-straight NCAA DIII Tournament appearance. The Pirates also claimed their fifth-straight NWC Tournament title.
Leading the way in Whitworth's sensational 2010-11 season was Taylor, who averaged 5.7 points and 1.9 assists when he started for EWU as a true freshman in the 2006-07 season. In his lone season playing for the Pirates, he was named the D3hoops.com Men's Player of the Year and was named a first-team All-American by D3hoops.com and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC).
In addition, Taylor was previously named the NABC West Region Player of the Year, D3hoops.com West Region Player of the Year and Northwest Conference Player of the Year in his only season with the Pirates. He led the team in scoring average (20.3 points per game to rank second in the NWC) and led the Northwest Conference in both free throw percentage (.884) and three-point percentage (.528). He also led the Pirates in assists (3.5 per game to rank third in the NWC). After playing one season at EWU, Taylor transferred to the University of Montana where he was a key contributor off of the bench in two seasons.
In 2009-10, the Pirates put together a school-record 25-game winning streak and finished unbeaten in the Northwest Conference (16-0) en route to a final record of 26-3. The Pirates finished ranked seventh in the D3hoops.com poll.
In 2008-09, Hayford led the Pirates to a 23-6 record and a runner-up finish in the NWC standings. Whitworth then made their fourth national tournament appearance by virtue of winning the NWC Tournament championship game. Whitworth accomplished that despite the graduation of two first-team All-NWC selections, including the conference's Player of the Year (Ryan Symes), following the '07-'08 season.
During the 2007-08 season, Hayford coached Whitworth to its second-consecutive Northwest Conference title and second-straight appearance in the NCAA Division III Tournament, where the Pirates advanced to the Sectional Semifinals (third round). Whitworth finished 21-7 overall and Hayford earned his third NWC Coach of the Year award.
In 2006-07, he led Whitworth to a 24-4 record and a conference title, earning his second NWC Coach of the Year honor. His team set the school record for single-season winning percentage (.857), which was later broken by the 2009-10 squad (26-3, .897) and his final team in 2010-11 (28-2, .933). The Pirates advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, losing at the eventual third-place finisher by only two points.
He coached the Pirates to a 20-7 record and to within a game of the NCAA Tournament in the 2005-06 season. The 2004-05 season may have been Hayford's greatest challenge, but also possibly his greatest accomplishment. Rebuilding his team with only one returning starter, Hayford coached the Pirates to five-straight wins to end the season, turning an overall record of 8-11 and an NWC mark of 4-7 into 13-11 and 9-7 finishes.
The Pirates also just missed one of six at-large bids to the 2003-04 NCAA Division III Tournament after the team's third straight top-two finish in the NWC and a 19-6 overall record.
In his second season (2002-03), he led Whitworth to a 23-4 record, a Northwest Conference title and an appearance in the 2003 NCAA Division III Tournament, earning his first Coach of the Year award. In his first season as the head coach at Whitworth in 2001-02, Hayford led the Pirates to a record of 20-7 and a second-place finish in the NWC. It was the second-best coaching debut in Whitworth men's basketball history. The only coach to start better was Art Smith, whose 1954-55 team finished 21-4 and advanced to the NAIA Tournament.
The Pirates were 13-12 the season before he arrived.
Hayford 37-27 at Sioux Falls in First Collegiate Head Coaching Stop . . .
Prior to coming to Whitworth, Hayford was head coach at the University of Sioux Falls (S.D.), where he compiled a 37-27 record in two seasons. During his inaugural season (1999-2000), he led the Cougars to their first conference playoff appearance in five years. The team finished 15-15 after losing in the South Dakota Intercollegiate Conference (SDIC) championship game. Hayford's Cougars finished the 2000-01 season at 22-12 and lost to the eventual NAIA Division II champions (Northwestern College of Iowa) in double overtime in the Great Plains Athletic Conference championship game. His team set a school record for wins in a season. Prior to Hayford's arrival, USF was 9-17 in 1998-99.
Hayford served as the top assistant coach at Azusa Pacific University (Calif.) from 1990-99, including eight seasons under Bill Odell. APU won seven consecutive Golden State Athletic Conference titles during that time and advanced to the NAIA Division I Final Four in each of his final two seasons there.
Hayford also coached at the high school level, leading Contra Costa Christian High School in 1987 and Berean Christian High School from 1988-1990.
Hayford earned his master's degree in education from Claremont Graduate School in 1991. He earned his bachelor's degree in social science from Azusa Pacific in 1989. He is a 1985 graduate of Berean Christian, which is located in Walnut Creek, Calif.
Hayford and his wife, Robin, have a daughter, Jayme (18), and son, Joseph (15). Jayme is a freshman at EWU, and Joseph attends Gonzaga Prep in Spokane.

Chinese construction-equipment maker Sany Heavy Industry built a $60 million office building and adjoining warehouse on 228 acres of land that it purchased in 2007 in Peachtree City, Ga. Sany acknowledges that the space is more than it needs right now. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal
1 of 9
Having such an impressive building shows potential customers 'that we will be here for the long term,' says Jack Tang, president of Sany's U.S. unit. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal
2 of 9
Sany aims to turn itself into the world's biggest maker of construction equipment, hoping to someday eclipse current leader Caterpillar and No. 2 Komatsu. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal
3 of 9
Sany came in sixth in the latest ranking of the world's biggest makers of construction equipment, according to KHL Group, a publisher of construction magazines. Sany's annual sales are nearly $13 billion, far below the $66 billion Caterpillar expects to report for 2012. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal
4 of 9
The company is among the leaders in the Chinese market for certain construction equipment—including excavators, cranes and concrete pumps—but still 'has to learn how to be a global company,' says Tim Frank, chairman of Sany's U.S. business. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal
5 of 9
The toughest challenge is establishing networks of dealers in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere. In the U.S., Sany has signed up 12 dealers for excavators and sold only a few hundred earth-moving machines. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal
6 of 9
The company is also considering the possibility of buying all or part of an equipment-rental company. Sany acknowledges that it would be an expensive venture. Many equipment buyers are wary of little-known brands, such as Sany, because they lack an established secondhand market. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal
7 of 9
Company Wrench, an Ohio-based dealer for demolition equipment, has purchased about 12 Sany excavators. 'We think the quality is very good,' says owner Brad Hutchinson. Sany machines cost about 10% to 20% less than the top U.S. brands, he adds. Jeff Herr for The Wall Street Journal

By far the most popular Lamborghini ever (nearly 13,000 made so far), the angular, mid-engine Gallardo is dramatic yet civilized: an Italian exotic you can truly drive to work during the week and at the track on weekends. Credit the influence of Audi, which acquired Lamborghini in 1998, for the impressive refinement. Decoding the Gallardo engine nomenclature, the LP550-2 gets a 542-horsepower V10, the LP560-4 upgrades tuning to 552 horsepower, and the LP570-4 tops out with 562 horsepower. All three are available in coupe or Spyder (convertible) versions. As the designations suggest, the LP550-2 has rear-drive but the stronger engines come only with all-wheel drive (AWD). The bodywork looks angry, the V10's song is wickedly enchanting, and the driving experience is enthusiastically Italian.
