Shape loops of sparkly wire ribbon into a gorgeous flower bow to use as an embellishment on a wreath. You'll learn how to make a bow the quick and easy way with this tutorial from Marti Wills.
- Floral Ribbon – wire edged is easier to work with
- 1/3 of a regular pipe cleaner that matches the ribbon
- Hold the edge of the ribbon in between your thumb & finger. Bring the ribbon around to make a loop. Pinch the width of the ribbon together width-wise and hold. This is your center loop.
- Twist the ribbon one time so the right side is facing forward again. Form a loop next to your center loop. Pinch the ribbon in the same spot and twist so the right side is facing forward again. This is your first side loop. Make one exactly the same on the other side of your center loop – pinch & twist.
- You now have a center loop and 1 loop on each side. Make another loop slightly larger & slightly off center from your first side loop – pinch & twist. Repeat on the other side.
- Continue to form loops on each side of your center loop, getting larger and alternating the placement until you have your bow the size you want. Try to keep the loops on each side evenly sized and placed.
- Be sure to keep your layers of ribbon pinched tightly. When your bow is done make one long dangling loop and one final pinch – cut from the spool.
- Use your pipe cleaner to tie around your pinched layers and twist it tightly closed to hold them in place. Snip the ends so they do not show. Cut your long last loop in half for the two streamers.

Virgin Mary celebrated at Italian feast
OAKVILLE — For many Italians originating from the small farm town of Cercemaggiore, America wasn't the most important discovery of the 15th century.
As legend goes, a farmer was working his land when he stumbled upon a clay case buried in the ground. Inside that vase, the farmer uncovered an even greater treasure: a four-and-a-half-foot tall wooden sculpture of the Virgin Mary.

If you live in south suburban Lansing, know this: Your village board is ripping you off.
Your property tax bill is higher than it should be because the board has awarded absurdly lavish pensions to about 40 retiring cops and firefighters. And the scam goes on.
According to a Better Government Association story in Monday's Sun-Times, it works like this:
If a cop or firefighter has 20 years on the job and turns 50 years old, he can retire and get a 25 percent boost in pay or $12,000 — his choice — on his last day of work. His pension, for the rest of his days, is based on that inflated final paycheck.
Lansing Village President Norm Abbott wants to end the practice, which a state agency called a bad deal 17 years ago. But Abbott can't get four votes from the seven-member village board, which apparently cares more about its police and firefighter pals and relatives than it cares about you.
We didn't know Lansing has tax money to burn.

Thanks op...I bought one, right at the price point and specs I was looking for, plus I wanted a Vaio...win win!

The real problem with this laptop is that the 7550 is a joke. It's on par with a 525M (aka only about 50% more powerful than the integrated graphics). I don't see the point of paying for a graphics card when it does a barely better job than the onboard.

Would you guys rather have this Sony or the following refurbished Dell for $600:

AMD Radeon HD 7730M 2GB
15.6 Full High Definition (1080p) LED Display

Plus Sony's laptops are more reliable
PeteyTheStriker ( ) Mar. 2, 2013 at 11:04am
For this price point this laptop is a steal. Better then any other deal posted so far. As for the GFX card not being good, its considered a top tier level 3 card. It has the Intel HD 4000 beat by a lot. Overall you could do some decent gaming on it. Someone mentioned if im paying for a GFX card I would want something better. Well you can get something better but its going to cost you around $800+. Especially with back lit keyboard which are hard to find, and full 1080 screens. This is a great deal for anyone who needs a desktop replacement, and does not mind the size for carrying around if your going to be lugging it around with you. I bring my asus rpog to a few places, and i dont mind the weight.
mikenmike0001 ( ) Mar. 2, 2013 at 11:16am
the details don't list anything about USB 3.0 or 2.0 ports and how many they are.
and it doesn't mention if this is a Dual Layer Light Scribe DVD Burner or not.
I would like to buy this or I wonder if there's going to be a better sale for this screen size and resolution within this month?

I enjoy hanging out with my friends, we have fun going to movies, going bowling or just hanging out playing card games and or Xbox. I also enjoy hanging out with my family. I come from a big family, I have 2 older brothers and 3 younger sisters. Growing up we went on long trips and now that im older I still love to travel. I love to be outside so camping is always a great time. I'm most happy when I'm with friends or family. I'm also looking for someone that will help me to grow stronger in The Lord. It's easer to get to know someone face to face, so lets chat and get to know each other.

Since our last update on The Casey, formally known as 2100 Delgany, a lot of progress has been made over the past nine months, as you would expect. The six-story, 187-unit apartment project has topped out and is now only a couple months from completion.
First we will start with some shots from a nearby rooftop. As you can see, the structure is complete and closed in at six-stories. Workers have also started on the facade on the south end of the building.
The facade is mostly comprised of brick with some paneling and stucco mixed in. As far as the main structure, the first floor is concrete with five-stories of timber on top.
Last but not least, here is a view of the project from the Wewatta viaduct, heading down into Union Station and Prospect.
The next time we look at the Casey will be for the final update in a couple of months. See you then!

Meek Mill Announces 'Dreams Worth More Than Money' Release Date
Mark your calendars. Meek Mill has set a release date for his sophomore album Dreams Worth More Than Money.
The follow-up to his 2012 debut Dreams and Nightmares will arrive on September 9, he announced on Twitter.
He has been in the studio with Chris Brown, Pharrell, and Timbaland. Nas spits on a Scarface-sampled record, Rita Ora guests on "I'ma Ride," and Big Sean and A$AP Ferg appear on "B-Boy," for which he recently shot a video.
He describes his new sound as "trap-hop." "It's like trap and hip-hop all together," he told Miss Info.
In May, he dropped the first single "I Don't Know" featuring Paloma Ford.
"There ain't gonna be no album to top this," said a confident Meek. "It's just gonna be different this time."

The low side is in the hose that runs from the evaporator to the compressor, this is called the suction side, because the compressor is sucking out the freon from the evaporator. ONLY use the suction side to add freon or you will damage your compressor, as a liquid is non-compressible. As the compressor sucks in the added freon, it has time to expand. If you add it in the high side, then usually bad things happen, unless the car is off and you have a Professional Freon Machine.

Dongsha marine park could be a model for how to handle other disputed islets.
DONGSHA, Taiwan — The Taiwan coast guard patrol ship skims over shallow, aquamarine water, white foam fanning out behind it.
Coast guard officials garbed in bright orange uniforms keep a wary eye as a group of journalists snap pictures and pace unsteadily across the back of the open boat.
One official points out from the boat at the dark patches rushing by, alternating with white coral sand — sea grass bunched at the bottom of a coral lagoon 17 miles in diameter.
Behind us, a tiny sliver of land — just big enough for an airport, a saltwater "lake" and a few scattered buildings — recedes quickly in the distance.
That sliver is Dongsha island, controlled by Taiwan but also claimed by China. It's an almost comically small patch of land in the South China Sea, the highest point of a massive coral atoll that forms a near-perfect ring — one of the roundest coral atolls worldwide, according to Taiwan officials.
Amid rising tensions over disputed islands in the South and East China seas, Dongsha is a perhaps encouraging example.
Just over a decade ago it was an over-fished ecological disaster and military outpost manned by a small contingent of Taiwanese troops on constant alert. Now it's Taiwan's first protected marine national park, where the coast guard keeps a wary eye for illegal fishing boats rather than Communist Chinese frogmen.
In line with warming cross-strait relations and Taiwan's growing environmental awareness, Dongsha is slowly making a comeback. Some are even talking of seeking UNESCO World Heritage status for Dongsha and promoting it for eco-tourism, though any such tourism would have to be sharply limited for practical reasons (right now there's only one flight a week from Taiwan's southern port city of Kaohsiung, and there's no hotel.)
"We haven't decided whether to open it yet [to tourists] said park headquarters chief Chang Chung-tso. "If we do, we'd have to strictly limit tourists — maybe to 20 people a day."
A model for the region?
Of course, Dongsha's situation is simpler because, unlike other South China sea islets and atolls, only China and Taiwan claim it.
China fiercely claims all of Taiwan as its own, but in practice it tolerates Taiwan's control of Dongsha, as well as Taiping island 650 nautical miles to the south, the largest of the Spratly islands, or Nansha. Analysts say China sees Taiwan's presence as marking both places as "Chinese territory," which is good enough for Beijing — despite the fact that they're held by a rival "China."
"Taiwan and China have very strange relations," said Shao Kwang-tsao, from the Biodiversity Research Center at Taiwan's Academia Sinica. "As long as Taiwan controls that island [Dongsha], they think it belongs to them, too. We help them conserve resources."
"For some common purposes, the [China] will agree to Taiwan taking over and doing something. For Taiping island, they have the same attitude."
Still, some say the marine park concept could be a model for other disputed islands. "Establishing Dongsha as a marine park to promote conservation is a good way to protect this area and reduce the political problems," said the National Museum of Marine Biology and Aquarium's Tony Fan, who has conducted research at Dongsha.
The Dongsha model could allow Asian countries to give up costly, far-flung garrisons on absurdly tiny rocks and atolls, and replace them with scientific research outposts.
U.S. scientist John McManus has long argued for the establishment of a South China Sea international marine "peace park" as a confidence-building step for claimants, and earlier this year he collaborate with two Taiwanese researchers, including Academia Sinica's Shao, to expand on the concept in a paper.
"Territorial disputes have led to the establishment of environmentally destructive, socially and economically costly military outposts on many of the islands," the authors write. "Given the rapid proliferation of international peace parks around the world, it is time to take positive steps towards the establishment of a Spratly Islands Marine Peace Park."
Five countries claim all or part of the Spratlys (or Nansha in Chinese) and Vietnam disputes China's control of the Paracels (or Xisha in Chinese). China's recent statements that its claim of the entire South China Sea is now a "core interest" has inflamed tensions.
Farther afield, China and Taiwan dispute Japan's control of the Diaoyu islands (or Senkakus, in Japanese) in the East China Sea — a territorial dispute that spun out of control recently with Japan's arrest of a Chinese fishing boat captain after a collision between that boat and two Japanese coast guard vessels.
In 2008, Taiwan's then-President Chen Shui-bian (now detained on corruption charges) flew to Taiping and announced the "Spratly Intiative" a plan for cooperative environmental protection and research in the region. The current president has said it supports such measures. Academia Sinica's Shao has led a feasibility study for the government on turning Taiping into a protected marine park like Dongsha. The study is now working its way through the bureaucracy.

It's large a rural town with a large elderly population, far from any hospital, and home to a ski center that brings thousands of visitors across its borders on winter weekends. Such is Shandaken, a town said to already possess a cracker jack ambulance department, but one that would serve the community better if it had another ambulance.
Phoenicia — The Shandaken Food Pantry will hold a benefit dinner on Wednesday, Dec. 9 at Al's Seafood Restaurant in Phoenicia. Dinner will be served from 4:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The third annual Toys for Tots outreach sponsored by the Catskill Mountain Classic Car Club will be held on Sunday, Nov. 8 from noon to 3 p.m. at the Big Indian firehouse.
Bring an unwrapped new toy to help that special boy or girl this Christmas. Information: 845 254-4238.
By Jay Braman Jr.
Shandaken voters will have several choices in the coming election, with races for supervisor, superintendent of highways, two town board seats, two town justices and two tax assessors.
Candidates include incumbent Democratic Supervisor Peter DiSclafani and Republican challenger Robert Stanley.
By Jay Braman Jr.
It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone in the Town of Shandaken that the political atmosphere is hostile. Long known as the wild west of the Catskills, this community has a history of tumultuous election campaigns and volatile government sessions.
By Jay Braman Jr.
It appears the ongoing farm-stand flap in Shandaken is at a stalemate. A proposed farm-stand law remains in limbo, and in the meantime the man that stands to be most affected by the law made a last ditch effort recently to get the town board to scrap it altogether and start fresh.
Al Higley, the operator of the Hanover Farms produce stand on Route 28 in Mount Tremper, made an appeal to the board at the town council's October meeting, saying that it would be a bad idea for the board to pass the law as proposed.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The Shandaken Supervisor/Budget officer has proposed a spending plan for 2010 that would jump taxes only two percent over this year, but opponents of the administration say that during these tough times the plan doesn't cut it.
By Jay Braman Jr.
The budget process has begun this year in Shandaken with two of the most expensive departments hitting the ground running, asking for new vehicles, and another department head asking for extra, unbudgeted help for this year.
That was the case at a recent special meeting of the town board. The meeting was called to make a decision on the long-hovering tax issue for the City-owned Pine Hill sewer plant, but Supervisor Peter DiSclafani warned the budget season has apparently started as well, noting ambulance department personnel in the audience along with the town's tax assessor, both with funding requests.
The following is an account of the Big Indian legend by author and 19th-century newspaperman Charles M. Skinner. It appears in his book Myths and Legends of Our Own Land, published in 1896.
"In the Esopus Valley lived Winnisook, whose height was seven feet, and who was known among white settlers as "The Big Indian."
By Jay Braman Jr.
Following the advice of Catskill Watershed Corporation (CWC) officials, the Shandaken Town Board agreed Monday to a settlement of a dispute with New York City over the assessed value of the Pine Hill waste treatment plant.

Thumb out.
I watched the cars zoom by, trying to forget the cold in my bare hand.
As a part of an experiment, I was testing to see if I was more likely to be picked up if I removed my hat and gloves.
The answer: Yes
A bald guy in a van drove by, and made a forward motion with his eyes, looking behind me and then back at me.
Oh! Once again, a car had pulled up behind me without me noticing.
I grabbed my bag and ran back. My mind was negotiating with my eyes, insisting that this can't be real.
The car that had stopped to pick up a young hitchhiker was by far the most expensive car I had ever seen.
The exterior was sharp and angular, a matte grey. The inside was all subtle and yet powerfully Red.
I got in.
We sat, listening to the purr of the engine as we flowed past the other cars.
No words were spoken.
Time was lost in the flow of the moment.
"Where are you going?"
His words brought me out of the trance.
"Then we're going the wrong way."
I leaned against the wind, walking down the highway ramp and deep in thoughts.
I had just been helped by a man who was further along the path than me. Yet on the same path.
He had recognized my determination and my search for perfection, as a mirrored by his own.
Once more, thumb up and out, this time glove on.
I watched the cars zoom by.
I was more F than A or C, but any way you look at it, I was an AFC. An Average Frustrated Chump. I had a crush on a girl named Renee, who lived on my floor in the dorm.
For weeks I lived in agony, wondering if she liked me. I'd make subtle hints and get back subtle responses which weren't nearly conclusive enough for me to do anything about it.
Things came to a head on Friday night. I had to ask her. Not in person, of course. On AIM.
I'm beginning to feel like somewhat of a car crash magnet. I've totaled three cars in three years, thankfully with no one seriously injured in any of the incidents. I was not at fault in the first two wrecks, but a couple days ago, I caused the third crash.
I was coming home with the kiddos from my grandma's house in Mt. Vernon. Traveling on Route 3 is quite the roller coaster ride. Lots of hills and twists. But I've traveled that road so often, it's become familiar. I was cresting a hill, and there were two cars waiting to turn left in front of me. I didn't notice that they were completely stopped until it was too late. I slammed on the brakes, and tried to slide into the large gravel driveway on the left (the one the two cars ahead of me were headed to), but the first car started turning as I was crossing the other lane and I hit the back left side of her car, most likely at about 50 mph.
My kids were taking their much needed nap in their car seats when we collided. They woke with wails and tears, not understanding what they had just been through. For about 10 seconds after the crash, my brain was kind of fuzzy and I tried to gather myself. Trying to take in the reality around me without becoming overwhelmed at the possibilities that may have been caused by it. Trying to decide what the next best step was. My arms were spotted with an orange dust from the air bag. I noticed the familiar tingle of a seat belt burn on the left side of my chest as I had the same feeling three years before in my first crash. I wiggled the key out of the ignition as I looked over the rest of my body with relief. I dug my phone out from under the rubble it had slid under at the foot of the passenger's seat, unclicked my seat belt, and rushed to check out my little ones.
I got the kids out of the car, hoping that being able to snuggle me would help calm them down. They didn't have any signs of injury except some red irritations where their harnesses had been. At this point, people from other cars were already out asking if they could help and if we were ok. We sat down on the bank in front of a farm house, the only house I could see. The rest of the scenery was fields and woods. I explained to Noah and Hope what had happened and asked them if they were hurting anywhere. Just as they were starting to calm down, a light breeze came through and Hope yelled, "I'm Coooold!", clambered onto my lap and sobbed into my neck. Noah was just staring at our broken car in front of us, trying to take it all in.

Five Cape Town Banting Restaurants to TryBanting. If you haven't yet heard of the concept, then you clearly haven't been out in the big wide world in a while because everyone is talking about it and everyone knows someone who is on the banting (essentially meaning low carb, high fat) diet (or eating plan).

Memories of JFK From His Gay Best Friend
BY Advocate Contributors
November 22 2013 4:00 AM ET
Jack and Lem in a Palm Beach photo booth just before their European tour, 1937
"Jack and Lem's summer in Europe began on July 1, 1937. Joe generously paid for half the cost of Lem's ticket on the way over, saying Lem could pay at least part of it back when he graduated from Princeton. 'I borrowed the other half from an inheritance I was about to receive from my grandmother after I graduated from college,' remembered Lem. Both boys kept diaries on the trip, although Lem's was more of a scrapbook. It contained scores of photographs of himself and Jack in Europe, as well as a handwritten narrative. It would go on to become one of his most prized possessions." (Page 53)

As I write this, it is Sunday, Dec. 21. In only four more days, it will be Christmas. It is so difficult to keep on a schedule in a place like this, where all the days are so much alike. I lost a whole day this week, and I thought this was Saturday morning until I discovered it was Sunday, and I had an article due. As usual, a deadline is a deadline, and I must rush this out before noon.
I am still at Elk Run, where I can receive some assistance when needed. When I look out the windows to the north, I can see the open meadows of Elk Meadow Open Space. When I look east or south, I can see the semi-open areas of widely scattered ponderosa pines across the grassy meadows, beyond which the trees grow closer to each other and a forest is formed.
Early December is a dreary time of year. Winter has taken a fairly good grip on the land. Our landscape becomes mostly black and white. It is cold, and few exciting or unusual birds are to be seen.
Only the hardiest winter birds come to the feeders. The fall migrant birds have all passed through. The year-round residents that exist here in the mountains are relatively few. The hairy and downy woodpeckers still appear, dressed in black and white except for a small red patch on the nape of the male, so they blend right into the winter landscape
(Reprinted from Dec. 7, 2011)
Many people complain to me that they find winter birding dull because there are no pretty birds around.
True, the winter residents at most feeders, pine siskins, chickadees, nuthatches, hairy and down woodpeckers, house sparrows, house finches, and the various forms of the dark-eyed junco are mostly gray, brown, and black-and-white birds. Not very exciting or colorful, but they are still interesting.
Beneath the ponderosa pine that grows outside my window is a wax or squaw currant bush, Ribes cereum. This shrub is probably one of the most important plants that grows in the foothills.
The fact that the berries turn a wax-like orange-red when ripe accounts for the common name of wax currant. The other common name of squaw currant simply refers to an old name for the Native American women who used these berries in many ways. Although tart, with the addition of a little sugar they make a tasty jelly or sauce.
There are many who complain that the weather forecasters on television never predict the weather correctly.
However, they were right on this past week when they predicted that a cold front would arrive on the afternoon of Monday, Nov. 10, and that it would remain for four days.
There will be no sledding and no Nordic track at the Evergreen Golf Course this winter, after the Evergreen Park and Recreation District abandoned a plan to make the programs come to fruition.
EPRD had been in talks with course owner Denver Parks and Recreation to lease the golf course and pro shop for $500 for the winter season, said Brad Bednar, Evergreen Lake House supervisor.
An Olympics-sanctioned cross-country ski trail could be created this winter on Old Squaw Pass Road and other roads near Echo Mountain Resort.
Supporters want the trail to run from the privately owned Echo Mountain on Colorado 103 west to Echo Lake at the base of Mount Evans, according to Nora Pykkonen, owner of the ski area. Members of the U.S. Olympic Committee have looked at the proposed trail to see if it would be a suitable venue for a race, she said.
The first snow arrived during the night last Friday and stayed on the ground between the clumps of grasses. As winter approaches, I always receive a number of inquiries about how and what to feed birds.
We have very little in the way of red fall colors in this area. However, we do have a native heuchera, closely related to the coral bells that are known to every gardener.
It bears a spike of greenish-white flowers in summer and grows in a dinner plate-size clump of leaves that turn a bright orange-red in fall.
Wild strawberries also produce a few red leaves in fall, and some of the many varieties of potentilla also have red leaves, but all of these are so well concealed among the grasses and other plants that they are often overlooked.

Haneke's 'Amour' wins top prize at Cannes
CANNES, France The Cannes Film Festival rewarded one of its favorite directors Sunday, as Michael Haneke won the top prize for a second time with his stark film about love and death, "Amour."
The Austrian director's powerful and understated film stars two French acting icons - 85-year-old Emmanuelle Riva and 81-year-old Jean-Louis Trintignant - as an elderly couple coping with the wife's worsening health.
Cannes jury member Jean Paul Gaultier praised the performances of the two actors and the "incredible connection" they established in the movie.
Haneke said he made the film because "I experienced something in my family that touched me." He thanked his wife and - in a rare personal comment - said he had promised her "we would never leave each other, like in the film."
Some viewers were surprised by the movie's frank humanity, coming from a master of tightly controlled cinema whose movies often contain sudden bursts of violence.
The director said his reputation for delivering shocks was unjust.
"Journalists always try to stick a label on directors," he said. "For a long time I've been the expert in violence."
But he said a film's style should match its subject matter, not its director, and "this film is about love."
Haneke has brought 10 films to Cannes over the years, including "Funny Games" and "Hidden." He previously won the Palme in 2009 for "The White Ribbon," and is only the seventh director to take the top prize twice.
The festival jury awarded the second-place Grand Prize to Matteo Garrone's Italian satire "Reality," while Ken Loach's whiskey-tasting comedy "The Angels' Share" won the third-place Jury Prize.
Both have won Cannes prizes before - Garrone took the Grand Prize for "Gomorrah" in 2008 and Loach won the Palme d'Or in 2006 for "The Wind That Shakes the Barley."
Mexico's Carlos Reygadas was named best director for his surrealism-tinged family story "Post Tenebras Lux."
The best actor prize went to Mads Mikkelsen as a man ostracized by his small-town community when he is accused of child abuse in "The Hunt."
Jury member Ewan McGregor said Mikkelsen had given a beautiful performance whose "wonder is in the subtlety ... but with complete conviction with his character."
Best actress was won jointly by Cristina Flutur and Cosmina Stratan, as friends separated by faith in Romanian movie "Beyond the Hills." Cristian Mungiu's drama of love and faith in a remote Romanian monastery also won the award for best screenplay.
The prize winners were chosen from among 22 contenders by a jury, led by Italian director Nanni Moretti, that included actors Ewan McGregor and Diane Kruger, director Alexander Payne and fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier.
Moretti revealed that none of the winners had been a unanimous choice, with several films sharply dividing the jury.
He said the biggest fights had been over Leos Carax's bizarre and episodic "Holy Motors," Ulrich Seidl's sex tourism drama "Paradise: Love" and Reygadas' "Post Tenebras Lux," whose title means "light after the darkness."

WASHINGTON Crafting a State of the Union address often raises an internal debate at the White House: When should a president dispute a negative judgment by the public and when should he cede it and promise better?
According to some polls, about 60 percent of Americans disapprove of Obamacare. On Tuesday night, President Obama ceded nothing, maintaining that Americans are insufficiently familiar with the law's helpful provisions and (by implication) insufficiently grateful. There was no recognition of continuing implementation problems, no empathy for losers in the new system, no course correction of any kind. As a political matter, this was probably the right judgment. Even a hint of presidential doubt would remove a Jenga brick from the bottom of the Obamacare tower.
A Jan. 22 Quinnipiac poll showed that 77 percent of voters also believe the economy is "not so good" or "poor." Would Obama, in his big speech, disagree with them or concede their discontent? In the end, he did both.
This produced some rhetorical tensions. Separated by only a few paragraphs, Obama declared the economy is humming – jobs created, oil produced, China bested – then described it as stagnant and stratified for many. "Average wages have barely budged," he said, previewing the next GOP convention speech. "Inequality has deepened. Upward mobility has stalled."
But in balancing these arguments, the president developed a more accurate account of recent economic history than have many in his party. Rather than laying blame for problems on the greedy 1 percent, or the previous administration, he described America's problems are primarily structural: "Over more than three decades," he said, "even before the Great Recession hit, massive shifts in technology and global competition had eliminated a lot of good, middle-class jobs, and weakened the economic foundations that families depend on."
What should be government's response? Obama admitted a "rancorous argument" on the size and role of government in the nation, but decided not to engage it. Instead, he would offer "practical proposals." And that was the organizing theme of his speech: proposing things. Without any overarching argument, they came in a torrent of the trivial, recycled and unlikely. The few glimmers of genuine policy creativity – extending the earned income tax credit to childless workers, encouraging retirement starter accounts for low-income savers – were buried in an avalanche of program reviews and strokes for Democratic constituencies.
Someone in the White House policy process fought hard enough to get the EITC and MyIRA proposals included in the speech, but not quite hard enough to have them drive rhetorical themes – though increasing the rewards of work and addressing asset inequality would have been rich ones.
Obama gave a hint of a theme in his varied references to hopeful action outside the federal government by corporate leaders, small-business owners, state governments and nonprofits – which almost sounded like a conservative deference to federalism and civil society. But for conservatives, actions by these groups are preferable. For Obama, they are enlisted to pressure eventual federal action, which is the primary goal. Obama seemed driven to talk about civil society – not because of its essential value – but because he can't achieve his objectives (Obamacare uptake, a minimum-wage increase) at the federal level. This is subsidiarity as the last refuge of the lame duck.
What does his fifth State of the Union say about the president? There is the natural, appropriate humility of the second term. But that adjustment has a particular poignancy in Obama's case. A president elected to pursue an ideology – say, a new Democrat or a compassionate conservative – can downsize his domestic agenda to fit the political moment. But a president elected to transcend partisanship, heal the planet and slow the rise of the oceans has a longer fall. Obama's appeal has always been more personal than ideological. And when that personal appeal fades, as it naturally has, there is little left to unite his agenda – leaving the disconnected set of proposals and gestures we saw on Tuesday night.
Obama probably found a political message for the coming midterm elections: "Give America a raise." But it does not give his presidency a theme or a theory.

New standards for not-for-profit organizations (NPOs) and government not-for-profit organizations (GNPOs) were effective for fiscal years beginning on or after January 1, 2012. Most GNPOs and NPOs have adopted the standards issued by PSAB (for GNPOs) or by AcSB (for NPOs). The previous edition of Focus on Financial Reporting discusses the differences between NPOs and GNPOs and the standards applicable to each.
Focus on Financial Reporting provides information to help boards of directors, audit committee members, corporate management, and other interested parties to identify and address recently released Canadian, International, and US regulatory and financial reporting developments that may affect their organizations.

The information in this edition of Focus on Financial Reporting is based on pronouncements released prior to November 15, 2013. For pronouncements released after this date, please refer to the official document in question or contact your KPMG adviser.
