Their rise to fame began on the Las Vegas strip. Now, Imagine Dragons is taking radio waves by storm and hitting the Roseland Ballroom in NYC.
The band performed 'It's Time' during GDNY on Friday.
"I wrote the song at a low point in my life and now it's translated to a time that's much happier. My life was falling apart. I've always struggled with depression and anxiety. I was writing it for myself. I brought it to the band and that's when it really came to life," said Dan Reynolds.

Now that Duke Energy's Edwards-port coal gasification plant is allegedly "commercial" as of June 7, it's once again time to set the record straight and fill in the blanks. For more than seven years now, Duke and the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission have conveniently left out information they prefer the public not be told, as perhaps the truth is too inconvenient.
Duke, along with the IURC, continues to perpetuate the myth that the plant will result in just a 14.5 percent rate increase. The reality is this 14.5 percent represents only a portion of the financing costs for the project. Additional financing costs of at least $320 million, as well as the actual construction costs currently capped at $2.595 billion, are not included.
That 14.5 percent only represents the approximately $665 million in construction-work-in-progress charges, or CWIP, a tracker or extra fee tacked onto the bill of captive Duke ratepayers. How much more will monthly bills increase after the other $3 billion is factored into rates? Ask Duke or the IURC … see if you can get a straight answer.
Duke is already collecting approximately $30 million per month from ratepayers just for financing costs. In fact, Duke ratepayers will pay more just for the financing charges for the Edwardsport fiasco than Indianapolis Power & Light is seeking in total for its proposed natural gas plant in Morgan County, a plant that will produce approximately the same amount of power.
Duke claims its construction costs are capped at $2.595 billion, but that isn't accurate. Duke declared the plant "in-service" on June 7, which effectively marks the end of this so-called "cost cap" from the settlement. From this date forward, ratepayers can potentially be stuck with every dollar Duke spends on the plant, and there remains a lengthy "punch-list" of items that are yet to be completed. So, the settlement effectively exposes consumers to the potential of significant costs outside of the cap, which was intended to protect them.

Evolution-Creation: Where Do Obama and McCain Stand?
Come November, which presidential candidate will you vote for? While the candidates' views on many issues will influence your decision, we hope that one of these issues is their view regarding origins and the teaching of evolution in public schools.
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama told the York Daily Record his stance on the teaching of evolution: "I'm a Christian, and I believe in parents being able to provide children with religious instruction without interference from the state. But I also believe our schools are there to teach worldly knowledge and science. I believe in evolution, and I believe there's a difference between science and faith. That doesn't make faith any less important than science. It just means they're two different things. And I think it's a mistake to try to cloud the teaching of science with theories that frankly don't hold up to scientific inquiry." (Emphasis added)
Republican presidential candidate John McCain takes a somewhat different approach. At a 2007 debate at St. Anselm College, McCain was asked if creationism should be taught alongside evolution in the nation's schools. His response: "No, I believe that's up to the school districts. But I think that every American should be exposed to all theories. There's no doubt in my mind that the hand of God was in what we are today. And I do believe that we are unique, and I believe that God loves us. But I also believe that all of our children in school can be taught different views on different issues. I leave the curricula up to the school boards." (Emphasis added)
And we leave your choice of candidate up to you.
As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, Creation Moments cannot and does not endorse any candidate.

depends how much editing you are planning to do. For the down and dirty quick edits probably fine, but for much else it will likely be slow running LR 4 or aperture depending on what is your flavor. Also more ram won't necessarily make the editing software run better/faster, you're better of with a better/faster graphics card vs more ram if you want to deal with detailed editing...just my $0.02
I am a PC guy and I have quite a beefy rig in my office for edits, but when I travel I have a Macbook Air (which is comparable to the Ultrabooks in spec etc) which I use to backup and perform on location edits just fine.

In Progress . . . and Recently Completed
WWHT Portfolio Enhancement Phase I – In Progress
The Portfolio Enhancement Housing Project (PEI) is a 29 apartment, scattered site project involving the energy upgrades and general "spruce up" of 5 WWHT properties. Some of the earliest buildings purchased by WWHT have begun to show their age; their upkeep and energy costs are increasingly expensive to maintain. It's time to replace the kitchens and flooring, refinish the floors, improve curb appeal, and improve energy efficiency.
Each rehabilitation will begin with an energy audit to guide construction plans and specifications. The work will range from modest replacements (flooring, roofs, furnaces, etc.) to substantial rehabilitation. In most cases, kitchen cabinets, counters, bath fixtures, flooring, roofs and light fixtures will be replaced; porches and foundations will be shored up where needed. We'll replace sidewalks, enhancing accessibility, and spruce up yards and driveways. In some buildings, we'll add a common laundry room. All the buildings will get a new coat of paint, inside and out. In recent years, we've reduced energy consumption on our projects by 32% on average through upgrades.
We've added solar domestic hot water panels, and done aggressive weatherization and insulation, at times replacing older windows. We've installed pellet boilers, and recently—in Algiers—we installed our first photovoltaic panels for electricity. We've reduced our average annual per-unit oil consumption rate to 200 gallons… which helps us keep our apartments affordable!
Town: Brattleboro & Wilmington
Units: 29 apts (10 SRO/efficiency, 8 one-BR, 7 two-BR, and 4 three-BR)
Timeline: Construction began in early 2014 and will be finished in the fall of 2014.
The buildings and their story: These buildings were built in the late 1800s and purchased by WWHT in the 1990s. They are all great sources of in-town, affordable housing.

Algiers Family Housing - Complete!
The Algiers Village Housing project is a new construction project in Guilford. It includes two buildings: a 15 unit building at 91 Guilford Center Road, and a duplex at 71 Guilford Center Road. In addition to the housing project, there are two concurrent projects which are related but have been managed and financed separately: the Brownfield cleanup on the warehouse lot, and a new municipal water system extension from Brattleboro. Find more information about the Algiers Village project in WWHT's Spring 2012 Newsletter.
Town: Guilford
Units: 17 units (7 one-bedrooms, 9 two-bedrooms, and 1 three-bedroom)
Timeline: Project began in July 2012, and was completed this past summer.
Unique Features: The long awaited next phase in a multi-faceted community-driven village revitalization project, the Algiers Village Housing project redevelops an abandoned warehouse parcel in the center of the village.
The economic viability of Algiers Village has ebbed and flowed for over 200 years, however throughout that time period a consistent settlement pattern has emerged, anchored by eight historic structures in the village area. When the Friends of Algiers Village group began their work 10 years ago they envisioned a vibrant village area which would encompass a retail store (Guilford General Store), a restaurant, service related businesses, and mixed income housing. Now this vision is being realized.

Former Sixers center Marreese Speights was traded to Memphis earlier this week, which, of course, spurred a reaction from Pistons fans wondering why the team didn't get involved in trading for a big man who can score. The Pistons were in talks with the Sixers, but the Sixers wanted draft picks and not actual players in return for Speights, who was traded for two second-round picks. The Pistons like him but didn't want to give up picks while adding payroll.Vincent Goodwill - The Detroit News
Mike Woodson and Lawrence Frank remain the favorites to become Detroit's next head coach, reports ESPN's Marc Stein. But why hasn't Dumars expanded his search?

Standing on righteousness
by Jamal Ortiz, aka Brotha Jamah
I'm still being held at Pelican Bay Ad Seg A1 Unit. Within the last 60 days, I've been through some fire with these racist pigs. I was pepper-sprayed for refusing to comply with a cell search that did not comply with cell searching procedures because I felt I was and am right. I stood firm on my position and attempted to take this officer's can of pepper spray. I was charged with battery on a peace officer.
My cell and another brotha's cell out of Oakland had been searched five times that week. Sheets, books, newspapers and other items were taken. I was left in the cell with no underwear, no T-shirt or socks. I had to tear open the mattress and sleep between the cotton to keep warm – naked! As the searches continued, the mattress was taken and I was given two blankets and a sheet.
Myself and the brotha from Oakland have been separated. I was moved from A1-118 to A1-131. He is double R from Oakland, s/n T. Wolfe, F-11442, in A1-117.
I am now in the presence of another strong comrade from San Francisco, Fillmore. He is Oba Lee Frelimo, J-25506, A1-126. He also subscribes to the Bay View newspaper.
I was unable to write the Bay View for some time due to all of my property and two phone books being taken from me until I recently received a Bay View newspaper. I was not able to write my mother for over a month until I got three letters from her two days ago and I still cannot write my father in San Leandro until he writes me.
I've filed a habeas corpus requesting a restraining order and to be re-housed away from specified officers. Nevertheless, I am firm in my position that I will no longer comply with orders that are outside of CDC Section R policies and procedures. I'd prefer to die a man standing on righteousness than to live as a weak coward bowing and being comfortable in oppression.
I'd prefer to die a man standing on righteousness than to live as a weak coward bowing and being comfortable in oppression.
Please don't assume because you don't hear from me that I'm not being prevented from writing. It means a lot to me that you continue to send the Bay View newspaper. Some just read it, but when you are at war with alligators up to your neck, realizing there's no turning back, it becomes a tool and it's all about how you use and apply it.
I'm asking the Bay View newspaper to please print this open letter so that California Prison Focus, MIM Distributors, Rising Son Press, Anti-Racist Action and the Black Riders Liberation Party will know why they have not heard from me – also Shaka of the Black August Organizing Committee and Brotha Secretary Yawo at the Oakland Uhuru House. I have no addresses, so at this point I cannot contact them unless they contact me.
Thank you again for continuing to send the Bay View newspaper.
In pure bullet-proof Black-on-Black love and unity.
Send our brother some love and light: Brotha Jamah D. Ortiz, K-94544, A1-131, PBSP, P.O. Box 7500, Crescent City, CA 95531.
One thought on "Standing on righteousness"
Oba Frelimo is my cousin who was wrongfully convicted. I recently found a letter from him, which was misplaced when I moved and am about to write him a letter. Thank you SF Bay View for allowing our loved ones a voice.

These have become a favorite holiday treat. Kids and adults love them! I do use regular graham crackers and natural peanut butter. They are also very good if you add marshmellow fluff on top of the peanut butter.

Comments about NIKE Women's Pro Padded Sports Bra:
I've always found nike pro bras to be my favorite and this is a great addition to their line. I mainly use the padded pro bra for low intensity workouts and use my regular pro bras for higher intensity (running, crossfit, etc.). I love both and they always have fun color choices!

Poured into a snifter
A: Coffee brown. No head. Light lacing.
S: Smoky, vanilla, malts. A little coffee in the mix.
T: Dark fruits, malts, light vanilla. Chocolate. Robust, smooth, sweet. Never picked up the oak barrel aging nor the oatmeal.
M: Light to medium. Chewy. Not much carbonation.
O: A solid porter. Glad I got to try it. I bet it's even better on tap.

In general, we at the Dudeletter are about a week behind the curve in a two week cycle. As a small start up, we have few writers and the article ideas tend to be narrow. However, with beer, my liver urges more out of me. While I don't have the motivation or money to test the new Kindle, I do have the Hamiltons to try the new Red Brick. While they have broken my heart in the past, with sub-standard beer tasting, and several recent missteps, they are proving with this beer that they have a plan. The beer plays carefully between smokey and sweet, heavy, but not overwhelming. I want to emphasize that there, in fact, is such a complex play of flavors, you could easily miss something under the umbrella of goodness. The smell is subtle, but distinct. It melds roastiness of a coffee, but none remains in the taste. The vanilla is there, but is almost ice creamy, rather than extract. The smokeyness may seem out of place, but it adds almost a savory note; counteracting the presumed sweetness. Having described all the other named aspects, I assume you wonder, how the gorilla tastes. Well the answer is, hairy. The beers size is the gorilla on my back; which is why, post review, I may not be able to stand. The boldness/strength of the beer is so big, it hides the alcohol, but remains balanced. This is possibly one of the best vanilla beers out right now, if you can get it…and

32oz growler courtesy of mjmoon15 in a recent trade. Thanks Mark! Poured into a Brooklyn snifter.
A - Pours a rather thick, very dark brown with excellent clarity (amber and ruby highlights when held to the light) and a finger of loose, tan foam at first that settles into a tight, creamy thick skim coat on the surface of the beer. Foamy lacing left on the glass.
S - Grainy, dark roasted malt, coffee-like roast, sweet cream, vanilla bean, mild citrus hops. Overall intensity is a bit on the low side...what is there is good, but wish it had a little bit more "kick" to it.
T - Quite smooth and creamy. Roasted coffee, smooth and rich vanilla, hints of charcoal and burnt toast, citrus hops at a low level. Not aware of this spending time in any kind of barrel, but I get some woody, oaky notes that complements the vanilla nicely.
M - Silky smooth and creamy...slick and oily on the tongue. Noticeable burnt/charred malt aspects that throw just a subtle edge into the beer. Carbonation is on a lower level, perhaps due to coming from a growler, and really blends well with the already smooth body of this beer. Body feels quite full, probably even more than it actually is, and feels thick and viscous. Grassy and citrusy hops come on quite a bit in the finish/swallow and increase in intensity as the beer warms a bit.
O - I've seen conflicting info about the style of this beer (porter vs. stout)...regardless, this is a pretty tasty beer and probably could be classified either way. The thick and oily body is a highlight here. Definitely enjoyable...helping me make the most of a rare snowy evening this winter.

2.05/5 rDev -41.3%
A: Poured a thin deep brown, nearly black with good carbonation and a nice tan cap
S: Smoke, bakers powder cocoa and some vanilla extract
T: An immediate smoke which pretty much kills any other flavors. Light vanilla extract, a few oats thrown in for good measure?? and some cheap bakers powder cocoa.
M: Thin and off putting feel, overly carbonated and not a tasty brew.
O: This beer should go back to the drawing board. This beer is a perfect example of regional hype. Alabama born and raised.

Another beer I had on cask at The J. Clyde yesterday. Always nice to be able to dip into two casks on one day. I was told that this was the Double Chocolate Oatmeal Porter aged with vanilla, so hopefully this is the right place to post this. Figured I would follow glid02's lead, assuming this was the right area. Served up in an imperial nonic pint glass.
A: This is a bit darker than the original offering I had a couple days before from the bottle. This seemed to be even more black, allowing even less light through. Still had a touch of dark garnet colors springing forth at the extreme edges when held to the light. The thick and foamy tan head had great retention and really created some nice foam lace on the glass as well. Basically, this went up a notch in grading due to the slightly darker color and the better head retention.
S: Smell was a lot better. The malts really come out and let you smell the sweet and roasted qualities. Coffee and chocolate are more pronounced along with a touch of toffee. The vanilla is there but not overpowering or crazy. The oatmeal is also more pronounced and really brings out a nice earthy, breakfast quality. I don't know what brought out more in the nose from this cask offering than the bottle, but everything is more pronounced and easier to smell. Very nice.
T: Taste is almost identical to the bottle offering, but it comes with just a nice addition of smooth vanilla that rounds out the flavors. Has all the qualities of my previous review :
Really nice, chunky oatmeal flavors come out first and foremost. Then there are some nice coffee and cream flavors. This tastes like breakfast. There is also on the finish a really nice milk chocolate flavor that really sits in the aftertaste. Very rich chocolate flavor.
All of this combined with that vanilla really comes together nicely and is incredibly enjoyable.
M: Medium in full in body that seems to be even more creamy than the regular offering. Nice coating thickness to it. ABV doesn't play a role at all it seems, just allows these nice sweet flavors to be enjoyed. Aftertaste is a bit of chocolate and vanilla flavors that are a pleasure to have sticking around.
D: Yet again, a really easy drinking beer. The added vanilla is something that really brings all the flavors together even more, and makes it very enjoyable to drink. This is a sweet beer and was perfect as my dessert. Just damned tasty and easy drinking. Would love to have some of this again. Really happy we decided to have a late lunch here.

On Cask at Atlanta Cask Ale Tasting - Pours an opaque dark black with an average head and a small amount of lacing. Smells of chocolate, coffee, roasted malts and only a tad of vanilla. Flavor is all vanilla with coffee and chocolate battling for attention. Mouthfeel is lightly bodied with below average carbonation. It s amazing how much vanilla is the taste and how little is in the nose.

4.33/5 rDev +24.1%
Appearance: Black body with a small, light khaki-colored head.
Smell: Roasted oat aroma with pleasant notes of bittersweet chocolate and sharply-scented vanilla.
Taste: Sweetish blend of chocolate and vanilla with just a bit of oats and a nice roastiness that grows into an overall earthy quality. Light licorice midway. Very deep vanilla flavor as it warms. Drying finish with a lingering roastiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation. Smooth mouthfeel.
Drinkability: Kudos to Atlanta Brewing Co. Overall, a rather tasty beer and a very nice expression of vanilla in a beer.

Cask at Taco Mac Metropolis into a pint glass.
Pours dark, dark brown with a large tan head that hangs around as an inch-thick cap throughout and leaves great lacing.
The aroma has lots of roasted malts and milk chocolate with hints of coffee and vanilla.
The roasted character moves more towarda burnt character in the taste with heavy toasted malts and some espresso. The chocolate is still present in the taste but the vanilla is much more prevalent and lingers through the finish.
The mouthfeel is very, very smooth and creamy as one would expect from the cask. The carbonation is strong and complements the smoothness of the feel.
I haven't tried much Atlanta Brewing beers recently, but I can say without a doubt this is the best one I've ever had. I hope this is a step in the right direction for them and that they'll keep playing around with some more interesting things. Recommended.

I've seen conflicting reports on what this is. One person said it was a Porter, but I'll go with the guys at Taco Mac and call this an oatmeal stout. Also according to them it's a double chocolate oatmeal stout that's been aged for 25 days with vanilla beans. Daryk77 said that this was at the Decatur Beerfest, but he doesn't think it was from a cask.
I watched this being poured at the bar (I got mine from a server earlier in the night) and there's a big three-finger tan head that recedes into a wispy layer of bubbles on top and a thick ring around the glass. Lacing is pretty sticky.
Smell of roasted malts with mild chocolate and vanilla aromas up front. As the beer warms the vanilla becomes more apparent.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Mild roasted malts with bitter chocolate up front. Again, as it warms the vanilla comes out more and the last sip is mildly bitter dark chocolate with a good amount of vanilla. Bitterness is mild throughout.
Mouthfeel is good. It's from a cask so the carbonation is subdued. It's not quite as thick as I would've hoped, but it does go down very smoothly.
Drinkability is good. This is a solid tasting beer, but I'm not overly anxious to order another.
Overall this is a step up for ABC. All of there beers are good but not great, and this is one of their best in my opinion. I'm hoping that this means they will venture more into dark beers and high gravity beers. I hope they continue to dole out more casks in the future.

The family of Marine veteran Shawn Hunkins squealed with delight and shed tears of joy when they got a tour of their new home on Long Island. Hunkins has done two deployments to Iraq. The Hunkins were one of six families selected for deeply discounted new construction built exclusively for returning veterans in Islandia.
Hunkins said they had been planning on moving to Missouri because they couldn't afford a home on Long Island.
The homes were built by Long Island Home Builders Care Development Corp., the charitable arm of the Long Island Builders Institute. The builders say the homes (most have three bedrooms and two bathroom) appraise for about $400,000. The veterans were able to purchase them for half of that.
These six families got quite a holiday present. But there were more than 100 applications for the homes. so the need is there for returning veterans seeking affordable housing.

Director Louis Leterrier is kicking off the new year with a bang. Last week, the helmer signed on to direct the Summit thriller "Now You See Me" and now he's got another picture in the works.
THR reveals that Leterrier has signed on to produce and direct "G," a sci-fi action picture the details of which are being kept under wraps for now but is drawing comparisons to "The Day After Tomorrow" and "Taken." And while those parallels are somewhat apt, from what we know, Leterrier has been quietly working on this one for the past little while and though we can't tell you much right now, we do know he's planning a very ambitious and interesting approach to the shoot that is going to turn some heads. Stay tuned.
The concept for the film was thought up by Guymon Casady of Management 360 who will also be producing along with Mark Gordon. George Nolfi and Michael Hackett of Gambit Pictures will produce as well as Leterrier's own Rabbit Hole shingle. The project is currently a bit of a way off as the filmmakers are taking it out to screenwriters, but the concept is a doozy and it should definitely generate some interest.
But we'll have to wait a while yet before we see what Leterrier and his team are cooking up. The director will first tackle "Now You See Me" before getting to "G."
Nick Carver | February 24, 2011 2:57 AM
Hey - I was pretty much right (if that news article is to be believed)! The concept of gravity gradually diminishing sounds like a pretty interesting concept for a videogame. Not so much a film. Cue 3 hours of people falling out into space on a bunch of different continents (but mostly on the West Coast of America).
The tag lines will pretty much write themselves though:
'What happens when DOWN is UP?'
'Gravity: HOLD ON.'
'Isaac Newton is going to shit'
carrie | February 23, 2011 10:01 AM
Delterrier is a drudge
Nick Carver | February 23, 2011 6:12 AM
The G probably stands for gravity. It could be about gravity being reversed and everyone having to stay indoors to avoid falling out into space. Or maybe it;s the next G-Force? With 'auteur' Leterrier on-board I'm excited to see what he has in store for us next!

Koss Fraud: We Didn't Bother to Look at the Endorsements On Our Own Checks, But Grant Thornton Should Have!
The latest news in the Koss Corporation fraud committed by ex-VP of Finance Sue Sachdeva is a lawsuit filed by the company against Sachdeva and auditors Grant Thornton. It's unlikely that the company will collect much from Sachdeva, but the auditors are a great target because they have deep pockets (especially in the form of a professional liability insurance policy).
Everyone expected Koss to sue Grant Thornton. It's just standard procedure to sue the auditors after a fraud is discovered. It never matters to the companies that audits are not designed to detect fraud and the auditors tell management this over and over.
It never matters to the companies that they are the ones responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls over financial reporting, as well as putting procedures in place to prevent and detect fraud.
The standard management representation letter required to be given by the companies to the auditors has language something like this:
We confirm that we are responsible for the fair presentation in the financial statements of financial position, results of operations, and cash flows in conformity with US GAAP. We also acknowledge our responsibility for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, including designing and implementing programs and controls to prevent and detect fraud."
But when things blow up, someone has to be held responsible, and Koss is pointing the finger at Grant Thornton.
Here's what I find so funny about the lawsuit: It goes through the fraudulent payments Sachdeva initiated in great detail, listing dates, payees, and amounts. The accusation being made is that if Grant Thornton had examined those checks and looked at the endorsements on the back of the checks, they would have immediately known Sachdeva was defrauding the company.
Why is that so funny? Because Koss management could have (and should have) done exactly what they're saying Grant Thornton should have done.
Talk about making yourselves look like absolute morons.
Financial statement audits are very limited in scope. Companies may not like that fact, but it's just the way it is. If companies want their auditors to find fraud, then they ought to hire the auditors to do more than the audit. As it stands, when you hire auditors to do audits, you have very little chance that they will find a fraud-in-progress. If you want them to look for fraud, then you have to hire them for additional work.
Contrary to what many may believe, the auditors don't sit and go through canceled checks as part of their audit procedures. Their job is not to sit and go through every payment that passes through the bank account. That's a different project with a different scope. Get over it.
You should read my article at Daily Finance about this lawsuit. I point out some interesting contradictions in statements Koss made to the SEC and that they're now making in their lawsuit. Maybe if the company had spent as much time and money on the management of their business as they will spend on this lawsuit, this all could have been avoided.

You are right on target as it is the company that owns their controls, not the auditor. Koss should have had both preventative and detective controls to thwart the fraudulent payments. These would logically include controls pertaining to vendor selection activity; an independent review of cash disbursement pertaining to detail, dates, payees, amount; and an analytical review of account activity by someone other than the VP-Finance. In addition, the board (usually through their audit committee) should have been comfortable with controls over management override. If I were a Koss director, I would be nervous regarding adverse legal action.
However, the auditors are not entirely off the hook as one element of their audit standards (paragraphs #22-25 of PCAOB standard 5) requires them to test entity-level controls, which include "controls over management override." The standard goes on to define this as; "Controls over management override are important to effective internal control over financial reporting for all companies, and may be particularly important at smaller companies because of the increased involvement of senior management in performing controls and in the period-end financial reporting process. For smaller companies, the controls that address the risk of management override might be different from those at a larger company. For example, a smaller company might rely on more detailed oversight by the audit committee that focuses on the risk of management override."

From Auditing Standard No. 5 http://pcaobus.org/Standards/Auditing/Pages/Auditing_Standard_5.aspx:
" This standard establishes requirements and provides direction that applies when an auditor is engaged to perform an audit of management's assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting ("the audit of internal control over financial reporting") that is integrated with an audit of the financial statements."
From the audit opinion:
"The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform an audit of its internal control over financial reporting."
Grant Thornton was not engaged to do this (an audit of internal controls) and so Standard No. 5 does not apply.
Run of the mill
now wait Tracy, while I agree that auditor does not necessarily look for fraud, the auditor must be comfortable that the financials are free of any material mistatements. In this scenario, the fraud was MATERIAL, and thus should have been caught by GT as part of thier regular audit (and not the "internal controls" audit as mandated by 404).
Ofcourse, it is always foremost management's resposnbibility to maintain adequate controls and the fair presentation of FS. But GT sure does deserve its share of the blame.
Tracy Coenen
An audit provides REASONABLE ASSURANCE that the financial statements are free of material misstatements. It does NOT provide FULL or ABSOLUTE assurance that the financial statements are free of material misstatements.
Further, fraud is much more difficult to find than simple errors because people are taking proactive steps to conceal their actions from the auditors. It's hard to apply the same level of responsibility for finding fraud to the auditors as finding errors, as someone is going out of their way to hide fraud and make sure the auditors don't find it.
Ron Kral
Yes – correction noted to my previous comment as I had assumed that Koss was an accelerated filer in which case they would have been subject to the internal control audit for the last few years. While not rendoring the opinion on financial reporting controls clearly lessons the auditor's legal exposure, some still exists as it will now be left to the attorneys and legal system to figure it out.
Run of the mill
Tracy, reasonable assurance is still considered "high" level of assurance. Now in the case of Koss, the embezzelement amount (~30 mil) is almost equal to their yearly revenue (~37 mil). Now would it be REASONABLE that GT found did NOT find a misstatement that almost totals a company's annual revenue? Is it REASONABLE that GT did NOT find a misstatement that's causing a Fin Stmt restatement for last 3/4 yrs? We"ll I will leave that judgement to the legal system.
As far fraud being harder to catch, the auditing standards are very clear. The auditor has the SAME responsibility to catch misstatement either by error or fraud. "Tough to find" is not an excuse. Interestingly enough, ethical standards ask the firms to resign as auditors if they do feel that management is unethical and they cannot get reasonable assurance over the FS.
Though I do find it absurd that management is suing GT. It was their primary responsiblity to catch the fraud. Now investors suing GT? that would make sense.
Tracy Coenen
Reasonable is not a "high" level of assurance. Audit assurance is a higher level than review or compilation, but is still not high.
Yes, it may be perfectly reasonable that GT did not catch this fraud since Sachdeva (and apparently some other employees as well) was proactively concealing the fraud from the auditors.
The audit standards do NOT apply the same responsibility to catch errors or fraud. Common sense tells you that management can appear honest while committing fraud and going to extraordinary lengths to hide it. Thus, fraud is much harder to find than simple errors in accounting, and so there is a distinction in the world of auditing.
Without seeing the audit workpapers, I have no idea whether or not GT did their jobs as auditors. But simply because the amount stolen was large, does not automatically mean that GT erred.

Tracy, you're mistaken. Please see AICPA SAS#1 Section 230 that states:
"The HIGH, but not absolute, level of assurance that is intended to be obtained by the auditor is expressed in the auditor's report as obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement (whether caused by ERROR OR FRAUD). "
Tracy Coenen
Written by auditors, of course. You win on this issue of whether someone calls an audit "high" assurance. I win on the reality – No real business person who actually understands what an audit is considers it high assurance of anything other than a large fee paid each year to the auditors.
Run of the mill
Unsure where you are getting your "reality" from Tracy, unless you're an external auditor yourself? or is just all based on hearsay?
If an auditor or firm cannot perform an audit to obtain resonable aka high assurance (as per standards), they shouldn't be auditing in the first place. It's fairly black & white IMO.
Tracy Coenen
Right. Auditors should be following the standards. And they very well might have performed an audit competently and still did not find a fraud.
The reality I speak of is the level of assurance an audit really provides. People sufficiently familiar with the work of auditors know that the work provides little actual value to anyone. So to say it is "high" assurance … well that means something different in audit-speak and in real business world terms.
Run of the mill
Agreed. Even well designed audits can fail to detect material misistatements.
Auditors provide little actual value? Try telling that to the investors and pension holders that lost billions in enron/worldcomm when the auditors failed to do their jobs.

I don't know, Tracy– this is tricky ground. According to the SEC, AS 5 "directs auditors to those areas that present the highest risk, such as the financial statement close process and controls designed to prevent fraud by management. It emphasizes that the auditor is not required to scope the audit to find deficiencies that don't constitute material weaknesses." Certainly what happened at Koss is NOT immaterial. ALso– what about SAS 99– clearly the GT example is another indication that auditors don't give a crap about SAS 99. If they did, they'd catch a lot more fraud. I guess it's not illegal to ignore audit standards, but I do see Koss's point in trying to prove that it is.
HOWEVER– I could not agree more with that management are the real bozos here– I believe you used the term "morons"— very apt. That they are now wasting tons more money trying to blame it on GT is sort of understandable, but for the sake of the business, if I were Michael Koss, I would do a mea culpa get my internal control act together, and move the f–k on– taking advantage of peoples' short memories to let this nightmare fade away.

Wicked Salem Witches Diva Dash by Team IEN Engineering - 12 months ago
"We created team tanks for the Shape Magazine Diva Dash that was held in the Boston area on 9/7/13. Our team name was the "Wicked Salem Witches" as we are all from Salem, MA. The Diva Dash is an all women obstacle course and 5k. You can get a timer chip, but it's meant to be a fun run and has options for all fitness levels. This was our first Diva Dash and we had a great time. This was my second time making shirts with CustomInk and I've had a great experience both times. The first time was for a charity walk team and CustomInk even donated to my charity!"
