Thanksgiving is a holiday for gratitude, family time, and good food. It's also a time to learn about the Mayflower, the Pilgrims, and the Wampanoag native Americans. The following picks cover the entire Thanksgiving gambit: from American history to modern traditions, crafts and recipes.
Enchanted Learning: Thanksgiving Crafts5 stars
For little ones, holidays are an excellent excuse to get their hands dirty with some craft projects. And Enchanted Learning's selection is excellent, as always. You'll find lots of turkey crafts, some autumn leaf ideas, and a slew of printable activities for early readers. These include Thanksgiving coloring books, stories, connect the dots, counting activities, and fill-in-the blank "I am Thankful for... " exercises.
Family Education: Happy Thanksgiving3 stars
Visit Family Education's Thanksgiving pages for a friendly selection of printables (place cards, mad libs, and coloring pages), three Thanksgiving quizzes, holiday recipes, and travel tips. For Thanksgiving day craft ideas, read "10 Things to Do Besides Watching Football," which admonishes us not to be coach potatoes, but rather to " celebrate the true meaning of Thanksgiving." through family activities.
Infoplease: Thanksgiving4 stars
The concise Infoplease almanac has several articles on the history of Thanksgiving, and a fun one titled "Thanksgiving by the Numbers" which houses all sorts of Thanksgiving trivia. The average American eats 13.8 pounds of turkey annually, most of it at Thanksgiving. 583 million pounds of cranberries were grown in the U.S. in 2003. Other noteworthy features are "Carving the Perfect Turkey," an interactive crossword, and a Thanksgiving quiz ."What is the name of the skin that hangs off the turkey's neck?"
Plimoth Plantation: Investigating the First Thanksgiving5 stars
"Historians are history detectives. They use clues to try and figure out what happened in the past. Some historians think that the first Thanksgiving wasn't really a Thanksgiving. They call it the 1621 Harvest Celebration." Dancing Hawk and Sarah, whose ancestors where at the first Thanksgiving, guide us through an amazing learning experience as we separate Thanksgiving myth from Thanksgiving fact. This multimedia extravaganza is my pick of the day, but you'll need a high speed connection to fully appreciate it.
Scholastic: The First Thanksgiving5 stars
Scholastic's First Thanksgiving takes us on a virtual trip back to 1620, the Pilgrims' first year in America. Enhanced by Russ Kendall's oh-so realistic photos, topics include the Mayflower voyage, life in Plimoth, and the Wampanoag natives. Best clicks are the picture time line, interactive Mayflower tour, and the Thanksgiving Cyber Challenge. It is all topped off with a Research Starter for students, and a Teacher's Guide.

Study of Fish Ears Helps Measure Antibiotic
Written by Barbara Geehan, River Gazette Editor
Did you know fish have ears? Did you know their inner ears are similar to humans? So similar in fact that scientists are using them to study hearing damage?
St. Mary's College biology professor John Ramcharitar asked senior Gordon Michael Selckmann to help him study the effects of using too much gentamicin, a popular antibiotic for children's ear infections, by studying the effects on the sensory hair cells of goldfish. Their resulting paper has just been published in the Journal of Applied Toxicology, "Differential Ablation of Sensory Receptors Underlies Ototoxin-Induced Shifts in Auditory Thresholds of the Goldfish."
Bottom line: An overdose of the antibiotic can indeed kill hair cells, which can damage hearing. The correct dosages are fine.
"It was an amazing opportunity for me to go through the entire process of such a study," says Selckmann. "Working for Dr. R gave me the chance to understand how academia works."
Selckmann dissected euthanized fish, then dyed the ear tissues; hair cells not destroyed by the gentamicin turned a bright green. He counted the damage under various circumstances, then helped analyze the numbers.
Selckmann, a biology major headed after graduation to a job with the Chesapeake Biological Laboratory in Solomons, came to be scrunched over a microscope by a circuitous route. Growing up in Frederick, Maryland, with a summer home in Calvert County, he "fished my entire life. If it had gills, I knew how to catch it."
He also credits his passion for fish to field trips with his uncle, who works at the Smithsonian's Natural History Museum.
But at 6'9", Selckmann has another love besides biology: pounding the courts with a basketball. "I played on the team for two years, but then realized I had to choose between them. Even if you are giving 110%, you end up giving 55% to each, and failing both. It was a big turnaround for me, a defining year, a real conflict of passion." He still plays pick-up with friends on the team, and was thrilled when St. Mary's captured the program's third CAC championship title this year.
Selckmann worked on the project with Ramcharitar all last summer, while juggling research for his St. Mary's Project. For that, he also went to the sea, studying how the brains of fish like croaker and spot are connected to the ear and how auditory signals are sent through this neural network. "I'd go out in the afternoon, catch some croaker for research - and dinner," he says.
Other SMCM Authors
In another recent example of St. Mary's students getting published - a rarity for undergrads, senior psychology majors Katie Bamberger, Kelli Hill, and Kevin Turek worked alongside Laraine Glidden, distinguished professor of psychology and human development, since their sophomore years, on the 20-year-old Project Parenting that compares families with biological children with developmental disabilities to those who voluntarily adopt. The results were published in the Journal of Applied Research in Intellectual Disabilities in January 2010 and demonstrated positive outcomes for families rearing children with disabilities.
Theater, Film, and Media Studies major Ian Prince's contemporary Japanese-inspired kyôgen play, The Healing
Drink, was recently published in The Wittenberg University East Asian Studies Journal.

FORT MEADE, Md. (AP) - Pfc. Bradley Manning took the stand Wednesday at his sentencing hearing in the WikiLeaks case and apologized for hurting his country, pleading with a military judge for a chance to go to college and become a productive citizen.
He addressed the court after a day of testimony about his troubled childhood in Oklahoma and the extreme psychological pressure that experts said he felt in the "hyper-masculine" military because of his gender-identity disorder - his feeling that he was a woman trapped in a man's body.
"I am sorry that my actions hurt people. I'm sorry that they hurt the United States," he said as he began.
The soldier said that he understood what he was doing but that he did not believe at the time that leaking a mountain of classified information to the anti-secrecy website would cause harm to the U.S.
Manning, 25, could be sentenced to 90 years in prison for the leaks, which occurred while he was working as an Army intelligence analyst in Iraq in 2010. The judge will impose the sentence, though exactly when is unclear.
Manning gave an unsworn statement, which meant he could not be cross-examined by prosecutors. He spoke for only a few minutes and appeared to be reading from a statement he was holding.
He said he realizes now that he should have worked more aggressively to find a legal means to draw attention to his concerns about the way the war was being waged. He said he wants to get a college degree, and he asked for a chance to become a more productive member of society.
His conciliatory tone was at odds with the statement he gave in court in February, when he condemned the actions of U.S. soldiers overseas and what he called the military's "bloodlust."
Manning's attorneys contend he showed clear signs of deteriorating mental health that should have prevented commanders from sending him to a war zone to handle classified information.
Manning eventually came out to Capt. Michael Worsley, emailing the therapist a photo of himself in a long, blond wig and lipstick. The photo was attached to a letter titled "My problem," in which Manning described his trouble and his hope that a military career would "get rid of it."
Worsley testified Wednesday that the soldier was struggling under extreme conditions.
"You put him in that kind of hyper-masculine environment, if you will, with little support and few coping skills, the pressure would have been difficult to say the least," Worsley said. "It would have been incredible."
Worsley's testimony portrayed some military leaders as lax at best and obstructionist at worst when it came to tending to soldiers with mental health problems.
"I questioned why they would want to leave somebody in a position with the issue they had," Worsley said.
Navy Capt. David Moulton, a psychiatrist who spent 21 hours interviewing Manning at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., after his arrest, testified as a defense witness that Manning's gender identity disorder, combined with narcissistic personality traits, idealism and his lack of friends in Iraq, caused him to conclude he could change the world by leaking classified information.
"He became very enthralled with this idea that the things that he was finding were injustices that he felt he morally needed to right," Moulton said.
He said Manning was struggling to balance his desire to right wrongs with his sense of duty to complete his Army tasks and his fear of losing his GI benefits and the opportunity to attend college.
"His decision-making capacity was influenced by the stress of his situation for sure," Moulton said. "He was under severe emotional stress at the time of the alleged offenses."
Moulton also reported for the first time in open court that Manning has symptoms of fetal alcohol syndrome and Asperger syndrome, which is an autism spectrum disorder.
Also Wednesday, Manning's sister Casey Major, 36, testified that they grew up with two alcoholic parents in a rural home outside Crescent, Okla. She said their mother attempted suicide with a Valium overdose after Brian Manning left his wife when Bradley Manning was 12.
After looking tearfully at a series of childhood photographs presented by defense attorney David Coombs, Major said that Manning has matured since his arrest.
"I just hope he can be who he wants to be. I hope he can be happy," she said.
At least 46 international journalists and 78 spectators were in attendance. Many spectators wore black "Truth" T-shirts.

World Bank Group - Committed to Africa Regional Communications Infrastructure Program (RCIP) EASSy eGhana eRwanda WIZZIT mobile banking infoDev Business Incubators Celtel MTN Village Phone Nigeria Output Based Aid Uganda infoDev Survey of ICT and Education in Africa Global Capacity Building Initiative (GCBI) Central Africa Backbone (CAB) DRC Broadband Africa Infrastructure Country Diagnostics (AICD)
A US$12 million Output-Based Aid project was designed, in part, to address this situation. The World Bank contributed US$10.5 million and the balance has come from the Uganda Communications Commission.
The project is designed to support the build-out of telecommunications facilities in areas where the social returns of the investments are high but the operation of services was not commercially viable. Subsidies are required in these areas to support capital investment in the network.
The project is accelerating access to voice telephony by providing at least one public telephone per 2,500 inhabitants throughout Uganda. This equates to everyone living no more than an average distance of about three kilometers from a public phone. It is providing broadband Internet points of presence in 32 of the 56 district capitals, dedicated Internet access for institutions, Internet kiosks and rural multipurpose telecentres.
The use of OBA to promote private investment in the provision of telecommunications services in rural Uganda has proven an effective tool. It served far more communities than anyone had originally anticipated, and at a fraction of the cost of more traditional funding methods.

UTEP to Introduce Beer Sales at Athletic Events
POSTED: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 10:00am
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 2:08pm
The University of Texas at El Paso announced Tuesday that beer sales would be introduced at the upcoming Homecoming football game on Oct. 20. Officials said beer would be sold for $7 per 16 oz. cup and $9 per 24 oz. cup.
Officials said beer sales had been under consideration for several years, particularly in response to fans and supporters of athletics expressing interest in the notion.
"UTEP's extensive experience with beer sales at special events in the Sun Bowl and the Don Haskins Center assures us that we will be able to offer at athletic events the same safe and family-friendly environment that this community has come to expect," said UTEP President Diana Natalicio. "Introducing beer sales at UTEP's Homecoming Game on October 20 underscores our commitment to this goal."
Officials said over the next several months, UTEP will closely monitor sales and the quality of fan experiences as part of an overall assessment to determine whether beer sales will be continued at UTEP football games and other athletic events in the future.

There Is No Nobel Prize in Economics
It's Nobel Prize season again. News reports are coming out each day sharing the name of the illustrious winner of the various categories — Science, Literature, etc. But there's one of the prizes that's a little different. Well, that's putting it lightly… you see, the Nobel Prize in Economics is not a real Nobel. It wasn't created by Alfred Nobel. It's not even called a "Nobel Prize," no matter what the press reports say.
The five real Nobel Prizes—physics, chemistry, literature, peace, and medicine/physiology—were set up in the will left by the dynamite magnate when he died in 1895. The economics prize is a bit different. It was created by Sweden's Central Bank in 1969, nearly 75 years later. The award's real name is the "Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel." It was not established by Nobel, but supposedly in memory of Nobel. It's a ruse and a PR trick, and I mean that literally. And it was done completely against the wishes of the Nobel family.
Sweden's Central Bank quietly snuck it in with all the other Nobel Prizes to give free-market economics for the 1% credibility. One of the Federal Reserve banks explained it succinctly, "Few realize, especially outside of economists, that the prize in economics is not an "official" Nobel. . . . The award for economics came almost 70 years later—bootstrapped to the Nobel in 1968 as a bit of a marketing ploy to celebrate the Bank of Sweden's 300th anniversary." Yes, you read that right: "a marketing ploy."
"The Economics Prize has nestled itself in and is awarded as if it were a Nobel Prize. But it's a PR coup by economists to improve their reputation," Nobel's great great nephew Peter Nobel told AFP in 2005, adding that "It's most often awarded to stock market speculators .... There is nothing to indicate that [Alfred Nobel] would have wanted such a prize."
Members of the Nobel family are among the harshest, most persistent critics of the economics prize, and members of the family have repeatedly called for the prize to be abolished or renamed. In 2001, on the 100th anniversery of the Nobel Prizes, four family members published a letter in the Swedish paper Svenska Dagbladet, arguing that the economics prize degrades and cheapens the real Nobel Prizes. They aren't the only ones.
Scientists never had much respect for the new economic Nobel prize. In fact, a scientist who headed Nixon's Science Advisory Committee in 1969, was shocked to learn that economists were even allowed on stage to accept their award with the real Nobel laureates. He was incredulous: "You mean they sat on the platform with you?"
That hatred continues to simmer below the surface, and periodically breaks through and makes itself known. Most recently, in 2004, three prominent Swedish scientists and members of the Nobel committee published an open letter in a Swedish newspaper savaging the fraudulent "scientific" credentials of the Swedish Central Bank Prize in Economics. "The economics prize diminishes the value of the other Nobel prizes. If the prize is to be kept, it must be broadened in scope and be disassociated with Nobel," they wrote in the letter, arguing that achievements of most of the economists who win the prize are so abstract and disconnected from the real world as to utterly meaningless.
The question is: Why would a prize that draws so much hatred and negativity from the scientific community be added to the Nobel roster so late in the game? And why economics?
To answer that question we have to go back to Sweden in the 1960s.

Baseball Stadium
Submitted by Adam (not verified) on Mon, 02/06/2012 - 4:31pm.
We need to stop thinking of a new stadium for use ONLY by a new minor league team. We need to think about all of the other positive benefits it brings to Wilmington. We can host State Championships, and host thousands of players and parents. We can host many other premier events, and give our town's young ballplayers a top notch facility to aspire to play at in big games. This will be a great benefit to Wilmington, and if you allow the city to profit off of all concessions and ticket percentages for each event, it will be able to sustain itself.

|McCoy on Movies: "The Back-up Plan" Movie Review
McCoy on Movies: "The Back-up Plan" Movie Review
Jenny from the Block is back in theaters this week with a new romantic comedy. But is it one you should support? Find out by checking out our reviewer's thoughts here.
"The Back-up Plan"
KEY CAST MEMBERS: Jennifer Lopez, Alex O'Loughlin, Michaela Watkins, Tom Bosley, Linda Lavin, Anthony Anderson, Noureen DeWulf and Eric Christian Olsen
WRITER: Kate Angelo
DIRECTOR: Alan Poul
WEB SITE: TheBack-upPlan.com
They're standing in a room full of cheese — Hmm… How fitting considering how bad this movie is. Zoe (Jennifer Lopez) stares deep into the eyes of Stan (Alex O'Loughlin) in CBS Films' new romantic comedy "The Back-up Plan."
THE PLOT: Set in New York City (because 90 percent of movies have to be set in either L.A. or New York apparently), "The Back-up Plan" tells the tale of Zoe, a successful pet shop owner, where her younger co-workers (Noreen DeWulf and Eric Christian Olsen) do whatever it is they do. She has just one little problem: She wants a baby NOW and doesn't want to have to wait on a husband to get one.
So, being a woman of action with a plan (hence the title), Zoe decides to head to a specialist (Robert Klein) to get inseminated even though she's not sure it will take. Attempting to catch a cab after leaving the clinic, she literally bumps into Stan, also attempting to catch a cab. Skip ahead, and Zoe and Stan are getting along famously … Until Zoe gets a piece of news via her pet dog Nutsy — who gets MORE than his fair share of screen time — that looks to complicate things with Stan.
Anyone wanna guess what that news might be?
THE TAKE: Ladies, I'm not going to pull any punches with you about "The Back-up Plan", a.k.a. the bad romantic comedy Kate Hudson and Jennifer Aniston apparently didn't have time to make. There are literally — LITERALLY! — only three reasons to drag this man to your film (perish the thought of you and a friend going to see this yourselves with hope in your hearts of it being worthwhile): [1] You enjoy arguments [2] You feel compelled to make him suffer for some horrible crime perpetrated against your person and/or [3] You really, really want to break up with him but need a reason for him to do the breaking up so that you don't feel bad about breaking his heart if you said what you've been wanting to for days/weeks/months/years.
Now before you say '"Wait a minute, Tabari, if that is your real name — You don't get it. This is not a guy's movie. This is a movie for women." First, I take offense to that as I, despite my prejudices going into a film whatever they may be, give every film a chance to surprise me, sometimes pleasantly as in the case of "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" (a wonderful French/American biopic/drama I highly recommend seeing at least once in your lifetime). Second, anticipating your skepticism, I was sure to bring — or as it turned out, drag — along a female friend who enjoys traditional "girlie" things, and she could not wait to escape the theater and return to life as she previously knew it before she wasted 90-plus minutes watching "The Back-up Plan."
Why is it so insufferable, you ask? There are plenty of easy things one can pick apart, such as the repeatedly bad attempts at humor (there are maybe three genuine laughs in the film, tops, four if you count an EXTENDED birthing scene that goes where "Knocked Up" did a few years ago). How about the non-compelling performances of the supporting cast — save for Anthony Anderson as Stan's would-be relationship/parenting mentor, Klein as the most-leveled headed person in the whole film doing his best with tired material (and that's a compliment to Klein), and Watkins' occasional stab as the sarcastic best friend (which she does well at times and not-so-much at others). The younger, hipper characters of Olsen and DeWulf don't add much to the affair other than a pair of pretty faces.
The major problem, however, is the one that pains me most — Lopez. I know many people hate on her singing (which I admittedly don't mind so much). "The Back-up Plan," however, does her no favors in terms of acting creditability. I mean, her portrayal of Zoe is so downright silly at times that it's impossible to feel anything — distaste, sympathy, empathy, etc. — real for her character. She never transcends Zoe from "movie character" to "person." O'Loughlin, who proves that a good six-pack can get you a leading role, only fares slightly better as he at least makes you feel something (whatever that may be may vary by person) for the haphazard Stan who is either too smart for his character or too dumb for what he is supposed to be, based upon the circumstances in which the audience first meets him.
Of course, Poul's "here comes the joke/drama" camera-work, which doesn't do anything for Angelo's paint-by-numbers, sappy happy script do the leads no favors, either. The characters' relationship feels artificial, as do 99 percent of the events that lead them to every twist and turn in their relationship, almost like you're watching a movie about a romantic comedy than a romantic comedy itself.
The film has a "been there, seen this" vibe to it from the opening scene and fails to provide any compelling (there's that word again!) reason to invest in it, financially or emotionally. In other words, unless you are the type that needs no brain stimulation as long as there's a happy ending, this might be a film that's best to skip or watch on DVD when you're up for a bad movie night by yourself.
The film's lead characters finally fall for each other in a room full of cheese (see the picture above) — and that is much more telling of the film's quality factor than I'm sure its cast and crew intended. Those reasons will make "The Back-up Plan" cause you to look for an escape plan ASAP. If Nutsy were really man's best friend, he would agree.

Man gets 145 days for throwing punch that killed Beverly teen on Indiana beach
BY RUMMANA HUSSAIN Sun-Times Media May 16, 2013 10:58PM
James "Jake" Malecek | Provided photo
Article Extras
Updated: June 18, 2013 8:38AM
A DePaul University student was sentenced to 145 days behind bars Thursday after admitting his role in a deadly brawl on a Lake Michigan beach that claimed the life of a Beverly, Ill., teenager.
James "Jake" Malecek will begin serving his jail term for involuntary manslaughter on July 1, his attorney, James Voyles, confirmed in an email hours after a hearing at LaPorte Circuit Court.
As part of the plea deal, Malecek, 20, also was ordered to be on electronic monitoring for nearly four years after his jail stint.
Malecek threw the punch that killed 17-year-old Kevin Kennelly Jr. on the beach at the town of Long Beach on the July 4, 2011, prosecutors said.
Kennelly's pals told police that Malacek's sister approached the friends and offered them vodka. One of the boys called her a drunk and told her to scram. She hit him and disappeared back down the beach, then returned with her brother, Malecek, who aimed for the name caller, police said.
Instead, he hit Kennelly hard in the right ear. Kennelly lost consciousness. He died two days later.
Last month, Kennelly's father, also named Kevin, told the Chicago Sun-Times that the plea was a "slap on the wrist."
But he added, "... At the same time, any time you go to trial there's always the possibility one juror thinks, 'Oh, he seems like a nice boy.' "
Kennelly's parents couldn't be reached for comment Thursday.
The slain boy's uncle, Art Kennelly, on Thursday night described the baseball-loving Mount Carmel High School student, as a "great kid."
Malecek's relatives offered their condolences to Kennelly's relatives in a statement they issued Thursday.
"Jake's life has been forever altered by this tragedy," the statement read. "He is deeply remorseful and horribly pain stricken. However, we are confident Jake will spend the rest of his life learning from the events of July 4, 2011, and teaching others about the importance of tolerance, acceptance, peace, and understanding because that is the fundamental nature of Jake Malecek."

Enjoying their second awards season together, George Clooney and Stacy Keibler were at it again as one of the night's sexiest couples. The hunky star, who coproduced Argo -- which won for best motion picture (drama) -- may not have known specifics about his date's gorgeous Armani Prive gown ("I believe it's [made of] some sort of cloth," he joked to Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet), but we're sure he was confident that he had one of the hottest dates of the night.

Half-Cocked: When Heller Met McDonald…
Chicago Embraces Landmark Supreme Court 2nd Amendment Decision
In a sweeping move to embrace the spirit of the Supreme Court's
landmark second amendment ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago, Mayor Richard Daley announced several new common sense regulations designed to protect the city's reputation for violence and general thuggery.
While the landmark decision clarifies protection of individual second amendment rights to own firearms in all states, cities, and local jurisdictions, Chicago represents a clear case of exception according to Floyd Capone, spokesperson for Mayor Daley's office. "In order to maintain our solid reputation as one of the nation's leading violent crime producers, we need to ensure that only our best thugs and gang-bangers maintain ownership of guns. If ordinary citizens and other types of little people can get access to guns, we might run our most prized criminals right out of town. That would certainly be a blow to the city's cultural appeal."
Capone heartily agreed with the wisdom of the courts decision for the most part. "Of course some reasonable restrictions will be applied for the common good of keeping Mayor Daley in power." stated Capone.
For example, Chicago subjects will be required to complete a city sanctioned firearms safety and political obedience course. While the launch date of the new indoctrination program is unclear, the Mayor's office anticipates availability "by the spring of 2037 at the very latest. We expect to begin offering the political obedience portion of the program starting next week. Of course, the firearm training part of the curriculum will take some time to develop."
Additionally, subjects will be required to both pinky swear and complete a 'Scouts Honor' pledge that they will only store disassembled firearms in an approved lockbox in their attic. Some Chicago residents interviewed for this story have already started second mortgage applications to cover the admittedly high registration fees.
City official recognize that some of the new requirements may hinder subjects ability to actually use their firearms in time of emergency but insist that Chicago is 'pretty safe' anyway.
The Mayor's office looks forward to a new spirit of cooperation with the Supreme Court. "We're sending a delegation out to Washington to help them understand our point of view." stated Capone.
United States Constitution Acknowledged By Senate
Thursday, February 26, 2009 Fairfax, Va. – In a surprise vote today, Congress determined that there is in fact an important document called the consitution that outlines how the country should be run. "This new discovery kind of threw us for a loop" stated Senator Dianne Feinstein. "We've just been figuring things out as we go up to this point, and in our view that's been working out pretty well. Except for the whole national bankruptcy thing of course."
After discovering, and reading, the newly found Constitution, the Senate quickly voted 62-36 to overturn a controversial gun ban in the nations capitol. "Apparently there is some language in there that talks about peoples rights to own weapons of mass destruction or something like that" observed New York Senator Chuck Schumer. "My staff tells me its called the 'second appendage' or 'second abomination' or some such thing. I'll have to look into it and get back to you. Clearly we're going to have to fix that."
Others were not surprised by the move. Chris Cox, Executive Director of the National Rifle Association's Institute for Legislative Action commented "It's time for leaders in Washington to wake up to the fact that the Supreme Court decision is now the law of the land."
When asked about Cox's comments, Senator Schumer appeared surprised. "What? That's just great. First we find out about this Constitution thing and now you're telling me about something called The Supreme Court? What is this country coming to anyway?"

Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) refer to the standard framework of guidelines for financial accounting used in any given jurisdiction; generally known as accounting standards or standard accounting practice. These include the standards, conventions, and rules that accountants follow in recording and summarizing and in the preparation of financial statements.
Many countries use or are converging on the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) that was established and is maintained by the International Accounting Standards Board. In some countries, local accounting principles are applied for regular companies but listed or large companies must conform to IFRS, so statutory reporting is comparable internationally, across jurisdictions.
All listed EU companies have been required to use IFRS since 2005, Canada moved in 2009,[1] Taiwan in 2013,[2] and other countries are adopting local versions.[3][4]
In the United States, while "...the SEC published a statement of continued support for a single set of high-quality, globally accepted accounting standards, and acknowledged that IFRS is best positioned to serve this role..."[5] progress is less evident.[5][6]

Conrad Black Is My Hero
Conrad Black is out of jail. He's back in Palm Beach, out on bail—paid for by his friend and fellow conservative Roger Hertog—because the Supreme Court has ruled that he, along with other various abominated businessmen (including former Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling), was convicted under a way-too-vague law.
Black, who ran one of the world's largest and most influential newspaper empires (the Telegraph in London, the Jerusalem Post, the Chicago Sun-Times), has no assets and faces many civil suits; even the Palm Beach house, which he once owned, is only being loaned to him for a few nights by its present owner.
If I were a novel-writing sort, I would consider Black as a worthy character—not because of his fall, but because, even at 65 (in a sense, because he is only 65), he is bound to start again. Now Black is not a sympathetic figure (he and I have, on occasion, exchanged public insults and invective—without, I assume, actual rancor). Foolish, pompous, comical—even his supporters titter behind his back—he was one of the greatest social climbers of our time. And yet he was curiously sincere. Where Rupert Murdoch, his arch-rival, has always been profoundly cynical, Black is a believer—in his own importance, in the talents of his editors (a hands-off proprietor, his papers were always better than Murdoch's), even in his own prose style. An autodidact, he wrote biographies of FDR and Nixon.
