The accounting for business combinations, divestitures, and related topics such as impairments and segment reporting continues to pose many challenges and remains on the SEC's radar screen.
Read the latest developments on these business combinations accounting topics:
Following the issuance of Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-02, Accounting for Goodwill, which significantly changes the way that private companies can account for goodwill, the FASB has undertaken a project to consider changes to the accounting for goodwill after a business combination, including potential simplification of the goodwill impairment test for public and not-for-profit entities. The board is considering several potential alternatives, but during its March meeting, indicated a preliminary leaning toward permitting entities to apply a single-step impairment test, and possibly allowing that assessment to be done at a level higher than a reporting unit. The board is awaiting the results of the IASB's post-implementation review of its business combinations standard to see whether there may be an opportunity to improve convergence before arriving at any conclusions. Further discussions are not expected until the third quarter of 2014.
In April 2014, the FASB issued a new standard changing the threshold for reporting discontinued operations and adding new disclosures for disposals. The new guidance defines a discontinued operation as a component or group of components that is disposed of or is classified as held for sale and "represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. A strategic shift could include a disposal of (i) a major geographical area of operations, (ii) a major line of business, (iii) a major equity method investment, or (iv) other major parts of an entity. Although "major" is not defined, the FASB provides examples of when a disposal qualifies as a discontinued operation.
Having significant continuing involvement with a component after a disposal or failing to eliminate the operations or cash flows of a disposed component from an entity's ongoing operations will no longer preclude presentation as a discontinued operation. New disclosure and presentation requirements apply to discontinued operations and to disposals of individually significant components that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The guidance applies prospectively to new disposals of components and new classifications as held for sale beginning in 2015 for most entities, with early adoption allowed. PwC's Dataline summarizes the main provisions, provides insights into key aspects of the standard, and highlights areas to consider when applying the new guidance.
At its March meeting, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus-for-exposure on Issue 12-F that all entities would have the option to apply pushdown accounting upon a change-in-control. This would result in a significant change in practice. Currently, pushdown accounting is prohibited for public entities unless a purchase transaction results in obtaining an ownership interest of at least 80%, and it is required at an ownership interest of 95% or more.
There would be no additional requirements to apply pushdown accounting and no circumstances that would preclude an entity from applying pushdown accounting upon a change-in-control. The guidance would be applied prospectively to all change-in-control events occurring after the effective date. The effective date will be discussed after input from comment letter respondents is received. Look to PwC's EITF observer – March 2014 for details.
Two standards that were issued last year became effective for some companies beginning in January 2014:
Among the continuing areas of challenge for preparers and users is the application of guidance for:
In addition to being complex, applying the relevant accounting guidance often involves significant judgments and estimates to be determined by both financial and non-financial management. PwC has a publication series entitled "Mergers & acquisitions - a snapshot" that takes these complex topics and addresses them in a plain-English manner. PwC has issued numerous publications from this series which are available, along with other helpful technical alerts, in the "Publications" section of this website. PwC recently commenced a series focused on navigating the waters of a cross-border acquisition. The series will look at various aspects along the deal continuum, including pre-acquisition due diligence and strategies, financial reporting requirements, tax implications, and post-acquisition considerations.

At the lastminute.com blog we know you like to party and we know you like to party in style – especially at New Year. New Year's Eve or "Hogmanay", as it is affectionately known in Scotland, is a time for huge celebrations and they don't come any bigger or better than Edinburgh's Hogmanay 2015. So much so that the hard partying Scots get the 2nd January off work as an extra bank holiday – just to recover!
Back in the day, as the bells rang out at midnight, it was predominantly the locals cramming on to the world famous Royal Mile and having a wee jig and snog to the tune of Auld Lang Syne. However, now properly organized and funded, it is arguably the best New Year festival of celebrations and events in the world. The event is in its 22nd year and has grown into a three day festival jam-packed with unique things to do.
Edinburgh Hogmanay highlights 2014/15
The spectacular Torchlight Procession on 30th December – a family event with over 25,000 torch carriers accompanied by massed pipes and drums and led by Shetland's Up Helly Aa' Vikings. The route takes them from Chambers Street to the Son et Lumière and a fireworks finale on Calton Hill.
The highlight of the festivities is on 31st December. Edinburgh's Hogmanay Street Party on Princes Street is where 80,000 revellers party it up and countdown to midnight. As the clock strikes 12 there is the world's largest rendition of Auld Lang Syne along with a spectacular fireworks display from Edinburgh Castle. With DJ's, ceilidh dancing and live music – this is the big event.
Sort out your New Year's Day hangover and celebrate the start of 2014 by taking part in the truly crazy and breathtaking Loony Dook – a mass plunge into the refreshingly chilly waters of the River Forth under the shadow of the world famous Forth Rail Bridge. Are you brave enough?
Okay, so there are more things to do than physically possible in this great city and you'll need somewhere to stay. Like any world class city, when there is an epic event on, accommodation is at a premium.
Our top 5 Edinburgh hotels for New Year stays:
The Caledonian – Waldorf Astoria sits at the West End of Princes Street in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle. 'The Caley', as it is known among Edinburgh locals, is smack bang in the centre of all the New Year action. It embodies the very best in Scottish hospitality.
Sheraton Grand Hotel and Spa – for some it's not all about the partying and it's more about relaxing in style. With one of the finest spas in Europe, the Sheraton is definitely the place to unwind. A two minute walk from Princes Street means you are super central, so you're right in the mix if you fancy it.
Edinburgh Marriott is located just 4 miles west of the city centre with superb transport links from the airport and to the city's festivities. A more wallet friendly option and a perfect base from which to start your Edinburgh adventure. It has loads of free parking and family rooms and the added bonus of leisure facilities including a pool – perfect for tiring out the kids.
Fountain Court – Stewart Apartments offer boutique chic styling in practical serviced apartments. Located in the heart of the New Town and parallel to George Street you could not be more central to the festivities. With all the 'mod cons' including a dishwasher, HD TV, blu-ray player, iPod dock, free Wifi plus Sky sports and movie channels, you will feel right at home.
Macdonald Houstoun House sits 12 miles west of Edinburgh in West Lothian and is a perfect choice for those not looking to party the night away. It's still close enough to Edinburgh to enjoy some of the many side events to the Hogmanay celebrations. Built in the 1600s to host Mary Queen of Scots, this is a hotel steeped in Scottish history.

Information Technology (IT): Because IT has become embedded into every aspect of our modern lifestyles, and even more importantly for learners, into every aspect of our professional lives, studying IT and developing our communication skills are now more important than ever.
The importance of communication skills is readily evidenced by glancing through the daily newspapers. Most job vacancies leading to positions with future career prospects require computer literacy and foreign language skills. This is even more important for Indonesian students currently because of the government's drive to increase foreign investment.
Creativity: IT and Communication Skills can enable us to enter into many professional and vocational areas, however these skills alone will not ensure good future prospects or personal development without the simultaneous development of our personal creativity.
Computers and websites, are good tools for expressing our creativity in the field of graphics and animation. Students can work on projects individually, in pairs, or in group activities. However, consistent with modern teaching practices (developing the individual), contextual learning (PAKEM in Indonesia) - Student-Centered-Active learning is the best strategy for developing creativity. Programmed learning (E-Learning) on the other hand tends to kill creativity because of its rigid structure (fixed 'correct responses' and outcomes) and lack of opportunity for creativity in the learning process (Behaviorism-Based). The human interaction process and receiving individual constructive feedback is an important component in our personal development, and these are not met through E-Learning programs.
Sharing and Communicating: The sharing of ideas and knowledge should not just be limited to the classroom. It is equally important in this "Global Community" that we share information with the broader communities, both within and beyond our native shores.
The more we participate in the process of exchanging information, the richer our learning experiences will be. For schools and campuses, establishing broad communication networks will enable them to share resources and developments within their school or institution. Sharing curriculum and concepts for school development are just two key benefits from broad communication networks.
The Internet: Through the Internet we can participate in this sharing process at all levels (see: Wide Area Networks). Photo: Modern Internet Servers.
Today, with the wide range of services available even in remote communities, there is no excuse for not participating in the Global Learning Community. In even the smallest of communities Internet Cafe's (WarNet) are now springing up and access through dialup is available throughout Indonesia. By efficient use of these facilities (see: Internet & Education), we can bring these benefits to both our school and our learners. An example of sharing information can be found at: MBEProject.Net.
School and Institution Websites: One role of a website can be to enable basic information about your school or institution, and contact information to be found (Globally). Example: Raffles International School, a very simple but effective website. Websites can be used as a medium for engaging in much broader community activities including forums and discussion groups. The scope of the website will depend upon your particular vision for the site and your resources.
A key issue here is that it is no use having the best website in the world if nobody visits it. Therefore, being part of a community like Pendidikan Network assists with that vital link to your information.
Throughout our network of sites (EducationIndonesia.Net) we have endeavored to open up communications within the Indonesian education community. We believe that the Internet can provide significant benefits for developing schools and therefore we have created this new resource (EducationWebsites.Net) to assist with both collaboration and information sharing.
Schools or Campuses that do not currently have a website can create a basic website using our information and facilities.

You call Florida "good" for going fishing in oily waters?! And that, it turns out, is also why they're bad? Muck!
But wait, there's more—Louisiana wins by something they had no hand in building: The Delta! And yet they destroy marshland better than any animal in the country. Looks like irony isn't just for hipsters anymore.
Well, I'll be. It seems you bozos are crabwalking again when it comes to the big issues. And don't think ole' Ships Cptn hasn't played that propaganda-fuelled Garbage Game you so cleverly developed. Let me tell you something: If it were up to me, the garbage would stay in the streets of New York, where it belongs. Those schmucks in the east have their hands so far up their own asses they wouldn't even notice the smell until they were tripping over it! Or, even better, throw everything into the Hudson until the beetlebums can walk to Jersey—a true hellhole!
You boys should really think of investing in property over there.

Governor Andrew Cuomo has introduced what he's calling several significant modifications to his 2013 budget. Capital Tonight's Nick Reisman has more.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Governor Andrew Cuomo has introduced what he's calling several significant modifications to his 2013 budget.
The budget amendments involve issues ranging from post Sandy mitigation to the state's Medicaid reimbursement rate to, most notably, teacher evaluations.
While 99 percent of New York schools passed teacher evaluation plans, New York City did not.
At a press conference, the Governor introduced an amendment allowing the state education commissioner to put a plan in place for New York City schools. Cuomo emphasized that this amendment is not a onetime fix.
"This is not just for this year. Any year that New York City does not have a plan in place, then SED [[State Education Department]] would come in a put the plan in place," Cuomo said. Cuomo says the amendment ensures that New York City students won't lose out on $250 million in aid.

The cursor (the vertical line) is at the end of the second paragraph, after the word "assistance." To type anywhere else in the document, you need to move the cursor to that place. Here are a couple of ways to do that:

A northwest suburban woman and her two daughters — whose disappearance last week sparked a candlelight vigil and searches by aircraft pilots and scuba divers — were found Sunday safe and vacationing in the Wisconsin Dells.
Aneta Marsek, 33, and her daughters — ages 2 and 4 months — were reported missing by Marsek's estranged husband, Dan Marsek, after the trio apparently vanished October 6th during a five-mile drive from her parents' Wauconda home to her own house in Volo.
Authorities used a helicopter and airplane to help in their search, and divers searched ponds near Marsek's home.
On Saturday evening, a candlelight vigil was held for the trio.
It's unclear how the miscommunication occurred but law enforcement near the Wisconsin Dells informed authorities in Illinois that Marsek and her daughters were "unharmed and vacationing in the Dells," according to the Lake County Sheriff's Department Sunday evening.

In van Persie's absence, Wayne Rooney ensured that Manchester United secured victory against West Ham with two goals in the first half and whilst one was more spectacular than the other, they were equally important to the team's growing confidence. Leading the team out, Rooney was the figurehead of the side in more ways than one and took the edge off the pain of van Persie's injury.
It leaves me feeling angry and confused that the proud nation of France is so often cruelly stereotyped as too willing to cave in to strong willed aggressive personalities with unreasonable demands. Context be damned as judgments are laid down condemning the ease with which Robespierre, Kaiser Wilhelm, et al imposed their will on the Gallic populace. How sad then that my pod-brother Frenchy has backed Manchester United to act in just such a fashion. How can such a talented young football writer possibly support signing up to five more years of the Rooney Stretford circus? He's wrong. Here is why. Read more…
If you really don't want Rooney to stay at the club, I suggest you stop reading now and head over to Tom's piece on the matter.
Many will agree with Tom and will refuse to accept the reasons why Manchester United have decided to give Wayne Rooney, more commonly known by haters as "The Evil Scouse Backstabber", a new contract. However, I know there are some out there who will understand why the current Premier League champions, currently lying in 7th and 11 points behind 4th, want to keep one of their most important players. Read more…
The arrival of Robin Van Persie at Manchester United in the summer of 2012 was a boon to the managerial fortunes of Sir Alex Ferguson. The Scot surely knew the 2012-2013 season was to be his last; the purchase of Van Persie then was his attempt to secure a champion's golden handshake.
Despite a lively start to his Old Trafford career, Javier Hernández has seen his playing time diminish since a young Danny Welbeck made the step up to first team and Sir Alex hit the transfer lottery with Robin van Persie. Now, with Wayne Rooney staying put at Old Trafford and Shinji Kagawa close to the first XI when fit, the competition for places is very high up front. Read more…
Times have changed. Football clubs, players and supporters are much different from the sport I fell in love with. The painting of 'Wayne Rooney the baddy' has been carefully orchestrated by the club and ably assisted by the fans. Fergie's final act of mischief coincided with the unedifying spectacle of a player booed when receiving a Championship winners medal. The former we have become accustomed to but the latter really saddened me. On a day of celebration of a season and an era, a significant number of fans chose to voice their displeasure with an important part of the achievements they were revelling in. Wayne Rooney is the fourth highest scorer in Manchester United history. All of those goals came under Alex Ferguson. To not cheer was understandable given the immediate context, but to boo was an act of disrespect to the achievements of the entire team.
In early May I wrote a blog suggesting it might be best for Rooney too seek a new challenge and had commenters queuing up to disparage my argument and even question my allegiance to the club. Those very same critics are unlikely to be such staunch defendants of their 'hero' tonight. Momentum has swung to a point that even those who readily forgave his last treacherous act are in agreement that his services are no longer wanted. It is – it must be said – the perfect situation for the club. Instead of open revolt at the prospect of selling a prized asset at the peak of his career, they are being roundly congratulated with no little schadenfreude displayed at the shift in balance of power.
Could it be because of his morality? To dislike the man is understandable. I remain surprised that in 2010 a ill-considered rant against the England fans who insulted him drew more outrage from the masses than the reprehensible act of soliciting a prostitute whilst his wife was pregnant. United fans seem happy to draw a line between personal and professional conduct – as demonstrated by the adoration of Giggs. It could be seen as double standards to worship the adulterous Welshman whilst lambasting Rooney for similarly sinful acts.
I'm not alone in being furious at his condition when returning after his 2012 summer. His relationship with Fergie has been marked by unexpected spells out the team where he has been punished for failing to conduct himself in a manner befitting a professional at the club. This is beyond dispute. The same can and has been said in the past of David Beckham, Bryan Robson and most famously of all George Best. Three men beloved of the United support despite their failure to curb 'outside interests' for the good of the club. The traditions of the club has been to support our players even when they have committed brainless acts which have left us deprived of their services for long periods of time (see Cantona, Ferdinand and Keane). In the context of being unavailable for the best part of a year, on reflection the reaction to our scouse number ten carrying a bit of summer timber was perhaps over the top.
In 2010 he successfully held the club to ransom and less than three years on he refuses to request the transfer we all know he wants for the sake of adding to his already considerable wealth. Nothing changes. Yet which doyen of financial fair play is Rooney trying to squeeze what he feels he is owed from? Our parasitic owners. Make no mistake, every action (or inaction) of the Glazer era has been driven by pursuit of money. The decision to cave in to Rooney and Stretford's demands in that infamous week was can recognition of calculating that to allow him to move across town would potentially cause greater harm to the club's ability to generate revenue. You need not plough through the annals of time to find examples of greed outweighing what would benefit on field performance. As I write this the squad are on the other side if the world, after yet another long distance flight, fulfilling meet and greets in an effort to flog brand United. Unlike the US tours we can't even spin it as a worthwhile football exercise against fellow European giants. Our next opponents are severely weakened by the absence of Emile Heskey. Let that sink in a moment. Then consider the fact that our new manager and coach attributed their victory over United to the lack of foreign expeditions. How our new manager, looking at his intimidating early fixture list, must wish that he was spending his days familiarising himself with new players and surroundings in Manchester rather than photocalls by Sydney Harbour bridge. If we are disowning Rooney for being motivated chiefly by money, then we must be similarly scathing of our beloved club.
The current stand off is the result of one super rich, ruthless organisation seeking to cut the best possible deal for the club in the sale of one super rich individual. Both are trading unsubtle blows under the gaze of the public which does neither any credit. Once again we see a business masquerading as a sport. It has been an unfortunate subplot to my time supporting United that players who have served the club well have departed in ignominious circumstances. A case in point would be the departure of Ruud van Nistelrooy in 2006. Our number 10 had led us through the lean times, keeping us in contention through his goals alone as the weakest side of the Ferguson era struggled behind him. Yet when Ferguson – and the club – decided it was time to move him on it was conducted in a manner unbefitting a player who had given so much in a red shirt. In fact if Rooney had been a bit more clued up on his recent United history he would not have been so surprised by a surprise omission for the final home game of the season.
It could all be so simple; the player wants to leave, the club accept it would be best for all concerned. We should be acknowledging a player who has aided our clubs achievements but whose time has come to a natural end. Instead of an amicable, respectful parting of ways we instead have a messy divorce played out through media briefing. This has duly been jumped upon enthusiastically by some 'fans' who view football as a soap opera and Wayne Rooney as the arch villain. I won't be sorry to see him go but nor will I celebrate the departure of a man who, on the football field at least, gave me such moments of pleasure.
In the latest installment of the James Bond franchise, Skyfall, our tuxedoed secret agent finds himself confronted with some difficult truths. Early in the film his inability to subjugate an adversary forces his superior to make a decision which, when carried out, places our hero's career in limbo. Upon his return to MI6 he is submitted to a stringent physical and psychological evaluation in order to assess his ability and readiness to return to the "field". Read more…
Wayne Rooney is closing-in on goal scoring records for Manchester United and England and, at 27 years of age, needs just another 56 goals to overtake Sir Bobby Charlton to top the Old Trafford all-time striking charts. Judging by his scoring rate over the past few seasons, it's a target he should be able to hit, but what does the future hold for Rooney beyond these milestones?
As his first touch becomes evermore precarious and unreliable when off-form, we're told he's not a young man anymore, and received wisdom tells us that football is a young man's game. Read more…
8th April 2010 was a day of stark contrast in Manchester United's history. On the one hand, the Red Devils had just been knocked out of the Champions League the day after losing on away goals to Bayern München (a 3-2 win at Old Trafford proved insufficient to overcome a 2-1 loss in Germany) and on the other hand a virtually unknown Mexican striker, nicknamed "little pea," was unveiled as a new Manchester United player.
Javier "Chicharito" Hernández Balcázar was signed from Club Deportivo Guadalajara (widely known as "Chivas"), arguably Mexico's most successful team, for a reported fee of £6 million. At the time, he was unknown Mexican whose signing didn't garner too much attention but in the years since there is no question that United's scouts did a great job in plucking Chicharito from relative European obscurity. Read more…
It goes without saying that Manchester United have several world-class players fitting the bill to be classified as reliable penalty-takers, namely Ryan Giggs, Robin van Persie and Wayne Rooney.
However, this (apparently) pleasant task has become a bit of a nightmare for the United faithful as of late, as the Reds Devils have failed to find the net 4 out of 7 times so far this season. The more positive side of such an equally dreadful and astonishing stat is that none of these 4 mistakes has proved costly for Sir Alex Ferguson troops.
In previous years, former Manchester United legends Dennis Irwin, Eric Cantona, Ruud Van Nistelrooy and Cristiano Ronaldo were all terrific from the spot. They had very different personalities but when it came to take a penalty, all four knew how to do it properly. Every one of them missed obviously the odd penalty, but fans knew a penalty in United's favour meant an almost secure goal.

Becoming a Section 8 Landlord
We appreciate your interest in learning more about becoming a landlord in our Section 8 Voucher program. The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program provides for a rental payment subsidy on behalf of an eligible client. The client (tenant) is responsible for the tenant portion of the rent.
The Glendale Community Housing program pays the subsidy amount directly to the landlord. The landlord/owner has certain responsibilities, which are established through federal program regulation. Please click on the links to the Participant Handbook and the Landlord/Owner Handbook, which will help you to understand your rights and responsibilities as an owner of a Section 8 property.
The Glendale Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program complies with all Equal Opportunity requirements. CHD is in conformity with the Fair Housing Act, Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program is a three-way partnership between Glendale Community Housing, the landlord/owner, and the tenant. While Glendale Community Housing will enter into a contract with the landlord/owner, and the tenant, the lease is between the landlord/owner and tenant only, just as it would be in any renter/owner relationship. Glendale Housing is not a party to the lease.
To begin the process of renting your rental property through the Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program, click on the link below to open and read the Landlord/Owner Handbook and the Participants' Handbook. Then, click on the link for the Landlord "For Rent" Form, fill it out and return via fax to the Glendale Community Housing Office at 623/930-1064. Once your rental property is chosen by a Section 8 family, you will be contacted to complete the process, by providing copies of the deed, and the legal description of the property.
Notice to Section 8 Landlords Regarding Rent Increases:
Glendale's Community Housing Division (CHD) is asking all owners to voluntarily defer rent increases at this time, even if their rent is reasonable. Based on federal funding limitations and current financial shortfalls, an increase in rent may cause the CHD to terminate the family assistance and the Housing Assistance Payment contract. While we regret having to inform you of this decision, we must take all steps necessary in this difficult economy to sustain the Glendale Section 8 Housing Choice Voucher program. If you have any questions regarding this notice, please contact our office at 623-930-2180.

Malta lacks investment in energy infrastructure – EU
A draft European Commission report on investment in energy infrastructure seen by news portal EurActiv.com named Malta together with Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Cyprus, Spain and Portugal as having insufficient infrastructure connections with the rest of the European Union.
The report is urging EU countries to speed up the connections of their gas and electricity grids. It said that dependency on a single gas provider also prevails in countries with a better geographical position, such as Slovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania.
Following the Russia-Ukraine gas crisis in the winter of 2008-2009, the EU took a number of measures to make sure that individual countries are better connected and less vulnerable in the case of a supply disruption from Russia. The report shows that despite the facts that a few years have passed, it appears that little has been done, even though funding is available.

Sept. 13 --Congress likely will continue utilizing the Securities and Exchange Commission's disclosure rules to effect social and political goals, Meredith Cross, the former director of the agency's Division of Corporation Finance, said Sept. 11.
"Requiring companies to post potentially embarrassing information" on Edgar--the commission's financial reporting system-- "even if the information is not qualitatively or quantitatively material to investors, can be a very powerful motivator to change corporate behavior," said Cross, now a partner at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr LLP, Washington.
"Congress has figured this out, and the dam" has broken, she said. "And I think there is a significant risk that people will keep pushing for it."
Cross suggested that based on current "hot topics," areas that may see future disclosure requirements include corporate political spending, the steps taken by companies to prevent cybersecurity risks, and business dealings with Syria.
The attorney spoke at a disclosure panel at the Practising Law Institute Directors' Institute on Corporate Governance.
Cross served as Corp Fin director from June 2009 to December 2012, during which the division recommended about 60 rulemakings to the commission (44 SRLR 2222, 12/10/12). These included requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act to implement a disclosure regime for the use of conflict minerals, and for resource extraction payments.
Dodd-Frank Section 1502 directed the SEC to promulgate rules to require public companies and foreign private issuers in the United States to report their use of so-called "conflict minerals"--gold, tantalum, tin, and tungsten--from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjacent countries. The legislation was aimed at stemming the funding of armed conflict in the region.
In the meantime, Dodd-Frank Section 1504 directed the SEC to require resource extraction issuers to annually disclose payments made to governments to further the commercial development of oil, natural gas, or minerals. That provision sought to shed light on the governmental process for allocating resource contracts.
"When I worked in the SEC in the 1990s, one of my big jobs was to try to keep that from happening," she told the audience. Cross was Corp Fin deputy director during this period. She noted that while providing technical assistance to lawmakers, the SEC staff would try to get the point across that if they required corporate disclosures about issues such as glass ceilings, "they would break the dam" leading to "endless amounts" of disclosures.
The SEC adopted disclosure rules for conflict minerals and resource extraction payments in August 2012 (44 SRLR 1595, 8/27/12). Business groups challenged both regulations in court, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia vacated the resource extraction rule (45 SRLR 1245, 7/8/13), but upheld the conflict minerals rule (45 SRLR 1378, 7/29/13). The SEC did not appeal the decision invalidating the resource rule but said it will undertake further rulemaking pursuant to the court's directions [see related report in this issue].
The decision affirming the conflict minerals rule is on appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (45 SRLR 1522, 8/19/13).
On the hand, the district court's conflict minerals decision included language helpful to the SEC by rejecting the argument that the agency had to consider whether the regulation achieved the humanitarian benefits that Congress intended, said co-panelist Jennifer Zapralka, another WilmerHale partner in Washington.
Zapralka served as Cross's senior special counsel from 2009 to 2013, when she left the SEC to return to private practice.
In other observations on the litigation, Cross noted that First Amendment challenges have followed on the heels of the socially and politically motivated disclosure requirements. "It's interesting" that the business community is using the First Amendment to challenge securities laws, she said. "It's a watch-this-space area."
Congress takes this approach "where it would be too expensive, or complex or controversial to regulate the behavior directly," Cross continued. "You need to think of other areas where this could happen."
The Iran sanctions law--which President Barack Obama signed in August 2012 (44 SRLR 1567, 8/20/12)--includes a provision that requires public companies to report Iran-related dealings to the SEC.
In other comments, Matthew Lepore, corporate secretary and chief governance counsel at Pfizer Inc., (PFE) said it has been "a ton of work" for his company to comply with the Iran and conflict minerals requirements. "We've been working on these two provisions for a very, very long time, and it's been very, very expensive," he said.

CHUG, which stands for "Canals in Hackney Users' Group", is a charity and a community of boaters who live in Kingsland Basin, in Hackney's central London. This community has around 14 boats, but there are over 15,000 people living afloat in Great Britain. They use canal narrow boats as homes to navigate the, which were originally built for transporting bulk of raw materials and fuel up and down the country's long narrow man-made canals. CHUG began in 1983 as an association of local people whose aim was to promote the use of the Hackney's canal for the benefit of everyone living in the area, while promoting environmental, educational and planning issues as their main objectives.
There is a dedicated boat holding a luscious floating allotment that gives an abundance of fruits and vegetables ranging from spinach, lettuce, rocket, countless herbs, onions, potatoes, aubergines, tomatoes, beans, asparagus and even artichokes — all which the community shares. But with five huge noisy developments currently underway in the canal, the allotment boat is pretty important not only as a floating food resource, but in bringing local wildlife back into the area. At CHUG, there is also a bicycle parking area that protects the two-wheelers from rain while they wait for the next ride.

LOVE this post Ana Lisa – thanks for covering this! I used to live near the Hackney Canal and Kingsland Basin and I was always so fascinated by the houseboat communities and wanted to learn more about them. AWESOME!

Beaufort West
On Sunday 4 November at 11:00 the last service for the departed for the year 2012 will be held.
This will be an audio-visually transmitted divine service with District Apostle N Barnes serving from Beaufort West.
The historical church buildings in Beaufort West, which today are all national monuments, are a reflection of the early inhabitants' Christian way of life. The first church building that was built was the Anglican Church in 1850. Thereafter in 1874 the Travellers' Methodist church was built, followed by the NG Mother church in 1894. And it is from this NG church that the divine service will be broadcast to all the stations on the New Apostolic Church's transmission network.
May the event and its location bring about a most unique preparation for everyone.
A member has written: "Beaufort West is almost in the middle of nowhere in the Karoo about 5 hours' drive north of Cape Town. We sometimes paused on our travels to look at our church there and occasionally also attended the divine services. The late District Apostle Gut once mentioned that he was going to hold a divine service in Beaufort West and then remarked that our Church had had great difficulty in establishing itself there, but eventually all requirements were met and a church could be built at last.
Attached is a photo of the church. Please look at its shape. It started off as the small building in the front of the photo, towards the right. The congregation kept on growing and the building had to be extended, which is the bigger building in the middle, linking to the small one on the right. And they kept growing and had to extend yet again, which is the building to the left of the photo, linking to the middle one."
A gathering of some significance
On the weekend starting Friday 2 November 2012 Beaufort West will become the gathering point for the senior leadership of the New Apostolic Church. They will converge on Beaufort West after having held divine services in a number of different congregations in the vicinity on the Thursday evening. As soon as they arrive in the town District Apostle Noel Barnes will hold a meeting with all the apostles.
The Saturday morning has been set aside to view some of the historic monuments in Beaufort West before a visit to the local cemetery where some of the Church leaders are buried. Thereafter a music hour will take place in the Rustdene congregation. District Elder Vernon Rodrigues who has been working in Beaufort West for the past few years will be retired from his ministry.
The highlight of this gathering of significance will be the divine service for the departed that District Apostle Barnes holds on Sunday 4 November 2012 at 11:00 in the NG Moederkerk of Beaufort West. This divine service will be audio visually transmitted to all congregations on the New Apostolic Church network.

As part of our Symantec Government Symposium 2008, Symantec named three Visionary recipients in each public sector category: Federal, State, and Local. Visionary award winners are selected based on criteria that include technology innovation, tangible business value, and the role of Symantec partners and services. With many public sector IT budgets and staff allocations remaining static, or in many cases, shrinking, it takes new and interesting approaches to be successful in IT management. Ten Visionary Award winners were recognized at the Vision event in Las Vegas, Nevada on June 10, 2008.
The Envelope Please
Each of our three Visionary recipients faced some stiff competition. Their use of technology, ability to tie the business to technology initiatives, and interest in driving business value across various constituents are just a few of the compelling factors that led to their selection. Without further ado, please join us in congratulating this year's Symantec Government Visionaries:
Local Government Visionary
Jeff Porter
IT Infrastructure Director, Fairfax County Government
Jeff Porter, IT infrastructure director for Fairfax County Government in Virginia, led a massive overhaul of the county's IT infrastructure using Symantec technologies, with solutions ranging from an email archiving and e-discovery, to compliance management, to endpoint security, to mail security, to high availability and disaster recovery. Key results of his efforts include approximately $4 million in hardware costs, IT staff productivity gains, and end-user efficiency improvements.
State Government Visionary
Ken Theis
CIO, State of Michigan
Ken Theis, chief information officer for the State of Michigan, led initiatives within his organization to reduce backup-and-restore costs, streamline endpoint security, and optimize messaging management. Business value includes: consolidation of backup and restore with Veritas NetBackup that reduced associated TCO by 30 percent, equating to an immediate savings of $320,000, and a $240,000 in labor cost avoidance; enhanced endpoint security using Symantec Critical Systems Protection and Symantec Network Access Control that helps the state avoid $42,000 in labor cost for each averted intrusion and reduced monthly system downtime due to security incidents from 16 hours to 4.5 hours; and a more than 30 percent reduction in the backup window for Microsoft Exchange using single-instance archiving and compression technologies in Symantec Enterprise Vault.
Federal Government Visionary
Craig Woods
Manager of Technology Support, United States Postal Service
Craig Woods, the manager of Technology Support for the United States Postal Service, saved his organization nearly $1 million by revamping its security infrastructure. He teamed up with Juniper Networks and Symantec Consulting Services to create a technology solution that provides USPS with a comprehensive view of its threat landscape in real time, while significantly increasing efficiencies and improving employee productivity.
Download and listen to a podcast interview with Mark L.S. Mullins, manager of Symantec's Customer Reference Program, who discusses the Symantec Visionary Award Program and some of the ways in which the three Symantec Government Visionaries are using Symantec technologies to deliver tangible business value to their respective constituents.

Quinn keeps salary, takes new job in Albany County
ALBANY -- Former Albany County Deputy County Executive, Christine Quinn, is back to work in a different position but with her old salary.
Over two months, 10 weeks, after taking a leave from her job following an arrest and charges she obtained Ritalin prescriptions illegally, Quinn is back to work for Albany County as the PIO of the Division of Information Services.
Quinn will oversee Albany County's IT services, said a spokesman for Albany County Executive Dan McCoy.
Quinn will keep her salary of $111,000, the same one she had when she left her position for leave. During the 10 weeks Quinn used up much of her vacation and sick time to be able to still collect a check. During that span Quinn collected $21,382, according to numbers from the county comptroller's office.
Some Albany County Legislator's are upset over County Executive Dan McCoy's decision to bring Quinn back before her charges play out. Timothy Nichols, D- Latham, said Monday he and other legislators will question if Quinn's $111,000 salary should stay a line item in the budget.
"The message it sends to our community is if you're politically connected, you get charged with a felony drug arrest, it is OK," Nichols said Monday.
In response to the hiring, and the criticism from legislators, Director of Communications for the the Albany County Executive's office, Mary Rozak, said "our office is not going to comment on (Mrs. Quinn's) issues outside of work. Her leave had nothing to do with her performance (as Deputy County Executive)Mrs. Quinn is qualified for this job."

|I used to own a PowerMaster Ultra Gym that I really liked and used quite often. However, I think that the actual machine that I had was kind of a lemon because eventually metal pieces inside broke and it kind of fell apart. It never felt too sturdy, but I don't think it was a problem with the Ultra Gym, just the particular one that I had.
Anyway, the thing that I hated most about it was that in order to adjust the incline, you had to screw in the the pin. After using it for only a few weeks, it became very difficult to get it to screw in, and was very frustrating. I've started looking for a replacement in the $100-200 range, and I'm zeroing in on the Sensible Gym or the Total Gym in stores (1500, I think). My question for Sensible Gym owners is whether the incline adjustment is a screw in piece or is it a pin you just easily slide in like the Total Gyms?
Thanks in advance.
Follow-Up Postings:
|The Sensible Gym has a spring loaded pin that adjusts the height. Very easy to use. I have had the machine now for 7 months. I love it. It is a very sturdy machine and should last quite a while.

California Jobless Rate Dips To 9.6 Percent
By JUDY LIN
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) â¿¿ California's jobless rate dipped to 9.6 percent last month, the lowest rate since December 2008 when the nation was gripped by the financial crisis, state officials announced Friday.
The state's Employment Development Department reported California added 293,800 jobs in the past 12 months for a 2.1 percent gain. That outpaces the national job growth of 1.5 percent, keeping the state ahead for 2013 despite its slowly declining unemployment rate.
The statewide unemployment rate fell from 9.8 percent in January after dropping below double digits this past winter."After a long recession and housing crisis in which the state lagged the nation in job growth, California is once again one of the nation's job growth leaders," wrote Stephen Levy, director and senior economist at the Palo Alto-based Center for Continuing Study of the California Economy, in his assessment of the latest employment figures. The state added the most jobs in February in areas that are traditionally strong in California, such as technology, tourism and construction. Construction jobs increased by 5,700 for the month, signaling renewed strength in the housing market. Levy said while previous months' job gains were regional, the increases are now widespread. The San Francisco Bay Area led the state with above average gains and Southern California saw year-over-year gains in Los Angeles County, Orange County and in the Inland Empire. Overall, the department reported nonfarm jobs increased by 41,200 during February, bringing the state total to 14.6 million. That's compared to only 4,200 jobs gained in January. The survey found jobs increased in the construction, financial services and leisure and hospitality sectors. But manufacturing, transportation and health services slipped over the previous month. The number of people who are actively searching for work and considered unemployed in California fell below 1.8 million in February for the first time since January 2009. That's down from 2 million last February.

If you own a network today, of any kind, wireless or wired, you have some important choices to make. We've all heard the proverbial "we don't want to be just a dumb pipe". It's the party line. But ask yourself, when was the last time your phone or cable provider did something truly innovative and valuable for you? If you're like most people, you're still just staring blankly at this blog post. To be fair, there have been some exceptions (visual voicemail was cool, and there are some creative new pricing plans…), but for the most part, if asked, just about 100% of us would never put our network providers on the list of Top Innovators who materially help us live better lives.
So what's the choice I'm talking about in the title? It's this. If you are a network owner, what you care about most is monetizing your network investments. The ONLY way to do this is to get people to USE it. To make matters worse, your worlds are moving inexorably to pure IP-based architectures leveling playing fields and causing even further dumb-pipe-itis. What do you do to inspire usage? Real usage. Sustainable, growing and profitable usage?
Up till now it's looked like this – go ask the big OEMs what they have in their product pipeline, stick it in your store and hope+pray customers like it. You cringe when even thinking about this process because historically customers have been completely underwhelmed by what you've proffered. Some companies have tried their hand at designing and building their own products. But these have also been, for the most part, flops.
What's the answer? Open up your network to innovators. Give developers – ALL developers, hardware and software – a reason to love you. A reason to talk about you at cocktail parties and spread the word. And I don't mean just putting up a fancy website saying you "love innovators". I'm saying provide them with the all tools they need to surprise, inspire and delight you. Create a home for them that's equipped with a fully stocked kitchen, foosball table and cool t-shirts. Invite them to help. Prove you are sincere. Let THEM figure out how to best use your network. Let THEM shine the light on the path forward. In fact, it might not be ONE path. It may be hundreds. But the fact that you provide the best, most awesome, ecosystem for building, supporting and deploying new things adds immeasurable value to your investments. And your community of innovators won't hold it against you. You're a business for goodness sake. Apple did not write the applications in their AppStore. Their community did. And they've benefitted to the tune of over 7 BILLION downloads and a sky high stock price.
So, to me, it's open up or fizzle out. I know it sounds like a threat but it's not. It's just a prediction. The world is not moving towards monolithic, one-size-fits-all solutions. It's moving in the exact opposite direction. Gone are the days where you can dictate just about anything your customers. They will leave you. You need to either embrace that or perish. You only need to look at what's happened to the media world over the past 10 years to understand what's coming.

Career Development Series: Tips for Finding the Firm That's Right For You
Having a job is important, but having the right job is equally important. The PR industry is filled with firms large, small, and everywhere in between. Moreover, they're working with different clients, are staffed with people that have varying priorities, and have created a unique style that makes finding the right firm kind of like finding the right boyfriend or girlfriend. Do you have things in common? Are you heading in the same direction? Do you both like watching Bravo reality shows and sports?
Oh… yeah… right. PR jobs. Gotta find the right firm. How do you do that? Start at the start.
"Looking for a job should be a job," says Margarita Miranda-Abate, SVP of the consumer lifestyle practice at Kaplow. "Why are you not happy where you are? What's not fulfilling you? You should know why you're making the switch." In other words, take some time for introspection to determine what you'd like to do. Having a good grasp of what the goal is will make achieving it possible.

Crazy dad builds 10-horsepower, 50-mph baby stroller
Improving on an old idea…
From the video description…
This is hopefully going to be the world's fastest pram on October 14th at Avon Park Drag Strip (Shakespeare County Raceway). All I have to do is break 30 mph, but as you can guess from the video, that will happen. I'm hoping for around 50 mph if i can stay on it.

Here is a knee length tunic with rolled up sleeves I made for plus size but not obese me! I designed the base mandarin neckline tunic patten with patternmaster boutique, I created a bib and embellished it with ruffles made using the universal ruffler
Brown tie and dye brocade – 3m
Aug 15, 2013, 04.40 AMby cheshyreblue
I do love ruffles! Nice! :)

This is really nice!
Aug 13, 2013, 04.42 PMby Oksana Starzhynska
I like your tunic very much: such eclectic combination of sporty sleeves, romantic ruffles and tie & dye print created a wonderful result, very nice work and it really suits and fits you well!
Aug 13, 2013, 06.57 AMby dayocouture
Thanks for your comments.
Mary, I used the Janome ruffler foot here's the link showing what it looks like :http://content.janome.com/index.cfm/machines/Accessories/All/Ruffler,_Ultimate_Ruffler. It nakes lovely pkeats and gathers. Prior to making the ruffles, I overlocked the fabric strips with black embroidery thread to achieve a glossy edge effect.
The fabric is made from cotton brocade which was dyed using the tie & dye method to get the pattern. It is a fairly common African fabric and sold in most African fabric shops i believe.

Fabulous!!! Now I have to google universal ruffler, I didn't know about it either and seems a very handful tool !!
