Hackers claim to have 12 mn Apple device IDs
Washington: A group of hackers has released a set of identification numbers of one million Apple devices and claimed to have obtained 12 million Apple device IDs by hacking into the laptop of an FBI agent, Xinhua reported.
In a message posted on Pastebin.com, hacker group AntiSec said it obtained a file with "a list of 12,367,232 Apple iOS devices, including Unique Device Identifiers (UDID), user names, name of devices, type of device, Apple Push Notification Service tokens, zipcodes, cellphone numbers, addresses, etc".
UDID is a sequence of 40 letters and numbers specific to Apple devices, that establish a unique identity in Apple`s app system.
Security experts said the leak of UDID on their own poses little danger to the device owners.
The hackers claimed they obtained the file by hacking into the laptop of FBI agent Christopher K. Stangl, a member of the FBI`s Cyber Action Team, Xinhua said.
The FBI told the Los Angeles Times that it was aware of the alleged hack but could not comment further. Apple made no comment on the issue.
Some experts doubted the hackers` claim of breaching the FBI, saying there are many ways that the file could have been obtained.
Graham Cluley, a researcher with security firm Sophos, said in a blog post that the person who wrote the Pastebin message may be a German speaker because of some German phrases used in the post.

The covers are great looking. The problem was installing them. Extremely difficult to do on my 2013 Jeep Wrangler. I did not read anything about tucking in excess cover into seat. This was almost impossible and very frustrating. We finally got it done but I would warn buyers!!

Got them about 2 weeks ago (front and rear)at first I wasn't sure on how good of quality and print they would actually be/feel,but they are AWESOME. They look very nice and fit to perfection ,very good product quality. Took about 1 hour to put them on, but well worth it. We are telling anyone we know don't shop around like we did,there is really no other place where you can get this product or a similar product for a better deal. Maybe"" the same but not better.

Recent reviews:
July 30, 2015 - I received this today in 2 colors, the ocean and grape. After reading the reviews I decided I should order up 1 size. I am 5'2" 105 lbs. and ordered a size medium. The fit was perfect, the tunic comes below the hips and the sleeves were not to long. There is plenty of give and fit in the material so I think it would fit someone both smaller or larger.
July 28, 2015 - I wish I were the size of this 3X. Very Pretty, but runs way small. It will make a nice gift for one of my thinner friends. :)
May 8, 2015 - May 8, 2015 - Very Comfortable. Loved the blouse
April 5, 2015 - Very pretty. I got the ocean colored one and have received compliments when I wear it.
March 31, 2015 - I normally wear size large or XL, so I ordered a 2X and wish I had ordered even larger. So pretty but just to small. Bought the grape one.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Canes Shorthanded
by Paul on 12/15/06 at 03:24 PM ET
Comments (0)
from David Shoalts of the Globe and Mail,
The Carolina Hurricanes will likely be missing two of their top six forwards, top scorer Rod Brind'Amour and first-line winger Erik Cole, when they play the Toronto Maple Leafs on Friday night.
Also among the missing will be forward Andrew Ladd, who was stricken by appendicitis on Thursday night and had an emergency appendectomy. Head coach Peter Laviollette said after the Hurricanes' game-day skate on Friday morning that Ladd will be out for two to four weeks.

This week has been social and I've loved it. Everything has come up last minute and somehow it's all fitted in perfectly. The summer holidays don't make too much difference to us, but we do get to spend time with friends we don't see very often. We spent last Friday at Clifton Park in Rotherham with friends, and although it was very cloudy the boys had a great time in the water fountains. It's the first time I've been and it's really fantastic.
My sister gets married next Saturday and I'm heading down to Cambridge on Wednesday or Thursday to help with prep. I am so excited, and I really hope the sun is shining for them. I'm speaking at the wedding service and need to sit down and finalise my thoughts. I don't want to be worrying about it last minute!

China's lack of transparency leaves Asia guessing
by William Pesek
As China's coughing fit grows, countries in the region are wondering whether its illness will prove contagious.
As China's coughing fit grows, countries in the region are wondering whether its illness will prove contagious.
Russia and China have made little progress in the bilateral economic and financial projects that they've announced with considerable fanfare.
Rather than seek the defeat of Islamic State, Obama will limit U.S. military involvement in Iraq to a level sufficient to keep the militant group from taking Baghdad while he's in office.
Some of what has gone wrong with the tedious bailout talks between Greece and its northern European creditors can probably be attributed to cultural differences.
Prime Minister Tony Abbott has bungled once again by trying to bully Australia's national broadcaster into toeing the government line.
The longer Xi Jinping delays weaning China's economy off excessive investment, the more Lehman-like the fallout will be.
China's new national security law is worrying on several levels, both because of what it says and because of what is left ambiguous.
With China's mega-dams, mines and military activities in Tibet set to increasingly affect Asia's environment and security, the world's leading democracies must consider playing a discreet role to help save the Tibetan plateau's unique heritage from becoming extinct.
Most Greeks know the current approach isn't working, that's why they voted against a third bailout.
The euro is destined to fail because it imposes a common monetary policy on economies that requires different ones.
The latest restructuring attempt has been emphatically rejected by the Greek people as little more than a bailout for European creditors.
China's financial world has officially entered the paranoia zone.

11. Suprette
08 May 2015 at 3:52 pm
I was in search of a good burger, having been recently disappointed by W39's over-hyped rendition and word on the street was that Suprette served up one of the best burgers in Singapore in current times. Since it wasn't too far from our place, the wife and I decided to drop by one Sunday morning for brunch (yay to free parking at the public carpark).
Suprette is actually housed in the heritage Kam Leng Hotel (first established in 1927 and later extensively refurbished and reopened in 2012), along the busy and sometimes chaotic Jalan Besar Road. The simply furnished eatery is quite small and can probably take up to about 30 customers in one sitting. As it is located on the ground floor, all the views you get are of cars and passers-by (relatively rare). But the place is cosy in it's own right, exuding an unhurried, small world charm amidst the hustle of the passing traffic. However, having said that, pray for quiet patrons. During our visit, there was a relatively loud table who held us hostage with their gossips and that marred our experience quite a fair bit.
Pasta Of The Day - Pasta of the day happened to be Carbonara so went for it. In a "tribute" to the local dining scene, the spaghetti is served on a water resistant brown foil (like those you would get at nasi lemak or economic beehoon stalls) placed in a old school tin plate. Or maybe they just wanted to save cost and do away with the fancy tableware. Anyways, the spaghetti was a little overcooked while the cream sauce came across as a tad runny. Throw in generous handful of porky, fat laden bacon bits and you end up with a rather uninspiring rendition of this Italian classic. I reckon I could get something similar at a random western food stall in Singapore, at a fraction of the cost.
Suprette Burger - The sole reason why we were here; Suprette's eponymous burger, with an additional topping of bacon and mushrooms ($3 apiece). Soft buns slathered with butter and toasted on the griddle till crisp and golden brown on the surface, sandwiching a juicy, beefy patty with bits of fat for that extra chewiness and topped with a layer of gruyere cheese which imbued it with a faintly sweet, nutty taste.The additional topping of mushrooms was worth it, adding an earthy perspective to the mix but the bacon did come across as a tad too crisp, dry and lacking in salt. Overall still a good burger and one of the best I've had in a while (last one was at Minetta Tavern in New York).
There is only 1 dessert available daily and we didn't fancy what was on offer that day (lemon meringue pie with vanilla ice cream) so we skipped it.
At $20 for a basic burger with fries, it is honestly a little on the pricey side but I reckon it's well worth the dough. Service was decent and I'll be happy to return just for the burger (and the nostalgia from the hotel), minus the bacon strips of course.

Category: Bakeries
I had read about W39's awesome burger in the various (un)conventional media outlets and eagerly made my way down with my colleagues one weekday afternoon to partake in the consumption of one of my favourite dishes.
The Place & Menu - Nestled within the quiet private estate stretch of Jalan Mas Puteh and playing neighbour to KFC, W39 stands out with its cosy yet rather quirky interior with a nostalgic nod to yesteryear. Think bare floors, brightly coloured chairs, and knick knacks from my childhood (okay I'm old).
Wagyu Burger - The main reason why I was here, the much raved about wagyu burger. I should had known better. For starters, it was relatively tiny (think McD's new Big Mac size but without the middle slice of muffin) and the bun was dry and insipid though crisp in some parts. Instead of medium rare as per my request, the patty came medium well but looked like it had hemorrhaged just before service (check out the amount of blood soaked up by the bun). Taste wise, it was rather similar to McD's Quarter Pounder patty, albeit coming across as slightly thicker. And the cheese atop tasted almost non existent. In my humble opinion, this burger doesn't even meet the mark for a normal, non fast food beef burger, much less a wagyu beef burger. How it is so highly raved about honestly confounds me.
Mister Chocolate - Apparently the best selling dessert at W39 (according to a placard in the display fridge), the Mister Chocolate did manage to provide a wee bit of redemption after the less than satisfactory burger experience. Smooth and rich chocolate fudge covering and flowing through the moist sponge whose texture was strangely similar to huat kueh (Chinese steamed cake). Top up $2 for a scoop of average quality vanilla ice cream. Overall still a decent dessert.
Rainbow Cake - As vibrant and appetising as the rainbow cake looked, it was actually pretty bad. The buttercream was stodgy and eating it was akin to chomping straight down into a cube of butter. Dry sponge layers definitely didn't help one bit. It was so bad that there was quite a bit left over.
Lunch for the 3 of us cost almost $87, which was pricey considering the quality of food. Service was alright but it will take more than service and a cosy ambience to get me to return.

13. The Naked Finn
19 Apr 2015 at 2:44 pm
I had heard about the rather exclusive (served in limited quantities on a first come first serve basis and only during lunch) but delicious lobster rolls at The Naked Finn and decided to try my luck one weekday afternoon.
But first, getting a table. Strolling into the place at 12pm sharp got me the very last counter seat. And boy was I grateful. The place is tiny, with approximately 10 counter seats and another 10 table seats inside the seemingly make shift premises. Outside there are probably another 10 seats but unfortunately those are not open during lunch.
Lobster Roll With Homemade Mayonnaise - 90g of warm, sweetly succulent lobster chunks wedged between a crisp on the outside yet soft on the inside, pan fried brioche that boasted a smooth butteriness. The dollop of homemade mayonnaise imbued a smooth and creamy finish with a nice piquant aftertaste. Very good! Only gripe I had was pertaining to the fries, which were double fried till extremely dry and in some cases, burnt. Good fries should retain a certain degree of moisture beneath a crisp surface in my humble opinion.
Lobster Roll With Crème Fraîche - As I was still hungry after my first lobster roll, I had a go at another one but this time opting for the other alternative on the menu; Lobster roll with crème fraîche instead of homemade mayonnaise. And the verdict? The crème fraîche was noticeably lighter on the palate but it killed the butteriness of the brioche and dulled the crustacean sweetness of the lobster. Homemade mayonnaise is definitely the way to go in my humble opinion. Did I also mention that shortly after my order was sent to the kitchen, the place ran out of lobster rolls for the day? And it was barely past 1pm!
ps: I skipped the fries, naturally.
A cholesterol level busting lunch cost just shy of $70, which isn't expensive for lobster rolls, especially in Singapore. Quality was very good and just a wee bit below that of Burger & Lobster in London but marginally better than Luke's Lobster in New York. Service was good and I liked that sky juice was served free of charge as well. There were other things on the menu that seemed interesting as well but somehow I can't quite reconcile paying almost $30 for a bowl of prawn noodles vis-à-vis topping up a few dollars more for a lobster roll. I'll definitely be back!
Update - And I went back 3 times in the space of 3 weeks, with varying degrees of quality in the fries (twice burnt and once perfectly fried with a touch of salt. Quality control issues?). The lobster rolls remained delicious though but during my third visit, the buns seemed to have lost a bit of their butteriness and came across as a tad dry.

Punggol end used to be just Jumbo seafood, a roundabout for bus 82 and a place where I used to catch spiders when I was a kid. Now it has been revamped (and renamed to Punggol Promenade) to include a handful of restaurants and pubs, a cycling track/boardwalk and even a small scale supermarket. Upon a recommendation, the six of us dropped by Horizon Bistronomy for dinner one relatively quiet weekday evening.
Located on the second floor of the building and playing neighbours to a Thai food outlet and a pub, Horizon Bistronomy offers both indoors and alfresco seating, with the latter obviously being more popular due to an unblocked view of the Singapore/Johor Straits.
Chilled Crab Meat Angel Hair - To start, I had the crab meat angel hair, which came topped with three substantial chunks of chilled, crunchy crab meat and chorizo oil (pork sausage) that had bits of crisp chorizo for that nice bacon-like texture and taste. Finished off with salty, crunchy salmon roe. Although the angel hair had a touch of truffle oil which gave it a light fragrance and smoothness, it was a tad too thick in my humble opinion. Overall a very decent dish but not something I would go wow over.
Horizon Pork 2 Way - The two way refers to a 24hrs slow braised pork belly and a kurobuta pork tenderloin. The former was melt in your mouth tender and topped with mild grape mustard but as it had quite a substantial amount of fat, the nausea kicked in really quickly. I personally preferred the latter, which was tender with a nice smokey taste to it. The accompanying cauliflower puree was smooth but could do with a little butter. All in all, a pretty good dish!
Chocolate Textures - The name of this dessert brought back wonderful memories of Quay's rendition. But the end result was vastly different. A brownie like chocolate base topped with 66% valrhona chocolate mousse, seperated by a thin layer of orange marmalade and finished with a coffee sauce. Contrary to the menu's claim that this dessert is "simply divine!", the orange marmalade weighed in too strong on the flavours, effectively diluting the taste of the chocolate whilst the bitterness of the coffee sauce didn't quite jell with the whole dish in my humble opinion. Maybe a vanilla bean sauce would have been more appropriate?
Garden By The Bay - A chef's special that's not on the menu, the Garden By The Bay came looking like a few random greens growing out of a pot of soil. Beneath the soil (which is actually chocolate crumbs with bits of nuts) was a thick layer of smooth and light but rather bland vanilla mousse with strawberries, apple slices etc thrown into the mix. I personally liked the chocolate soil, which had a nice crunch coupled with a mild nutty flavour.
The 6 of us spent close to $250 which wasn't too expensive quantitatively but portion sizes did seem a tad small and quality was somewhat a mixed bag. Some items, like the pork and angel hair pasta, were decent but others, like the King of the Sea (not featured because I forgot to take a photo of it) came across as average (salmon was bland and king prawn wasn't fresh). Desserts are definitely not a forte at this place as well. On the upside, service was good with a great view to boot. That, coupled with the pork dish, might well be enough to warrant a revisit.

15. Mikuni
23 Mar 2015 at 10:42 pm
Category: Japanese
Inagiku was long gone (since 2012) and in its place, Mikuni, a Japanese restaurant helmed by Executive Chef Moon Kyung Soo (who is Korean by the way). After seeing all the wonderful reviews about the place (mostly invites though), we decided to drop by for lunch one weekday afternoon.
I really don't know how to begin describing the interior of Mikuni. It had sort of a weird vibe to it, like they couldn't decide whether to make it techno-ish or modern Japanese (what's with the blue overhanging lights?) and tables were placed relatively close to each other. I could make out what the tables to our left and right were talking about which was quite a turn off in my humble opinion, the tron legacy lights notwithstanding (reminded me a little of Eva Air's Infinity Lounge @ Taipei as well).
Appetiser - And we started off with a bowl of complimentary salad and some thin, crustacean crisps (I believe it was ebi) with dashes of spice. Pretty nice.
Sashimi Set - Very fresh sashimi; Tuna, creamily smooth sea urchin, salmon, swordfish, squid and amberjack. Need I say more? Served with a cup of chawanmushi (more on that later) and a rather tasty agedashi tofu sporting a somewhat elastic skin.
Australian Beef & Ebi Ougon Sauce Set - Although portions were a tad dainty, this teppanyaki set offered a pretty good sampling of beef and prawn. The beef was tender and flavourful with bits of fat even though it came almost well done instead of my requested medium. However, the highlight was the prawns; Fresh, crunchy and smothered in creamy yet lightly savoury golden sauce (The old Inagiku's rendition was slightly richer and better in my humble opinion though). I personally loved the addition of the fried garlic chips to the dish for that strong garlic infusion and crunch.
The set also included a bowl of fragrant garlic fried rich and a cup of chawanmushi, with the latter silky smooth with bits of prawn and meat inside without coming across as too eggy.
Espresso Ice Cream & Petit Fours - I'm usually not a big fan of coffee ice creams but the espresso ice cream was pretty good; Not too strong or acidic and went well with the blob of cream in the center. Biscuit crumbs atop provided a nice crunchy texture to the equation.
The petit fours included rather interesting red bean squares that had a smooth, melt in your mouth texture (similar to paste) but appeared gelatin like. Matcha balls (matcha cream encapsulated by a thin white chocolate shell and dusted with matcha powder) completed the picture and I personally liked how the bitterness of the matcha complemented the sweetness of the chocolate.
If it wasn't for the Feed At Raffles discount, our lunch would have been exorbitantly priced. Thankfully, with the 50% discount, it was a more affordable $103 for two. Food quality was pretty decent but I wouldn't describe it as mind blowing. More like reliable if you ask me. Service was good but the ambience wasn't ideal (lose the blue lights please). However, at such a price point (with the 50% discount) and food quality, I'll be inclined to return.

Rooms fairand staff told porkies for the duration of my stayregarding the switching on of the steam room in the mini gym.
Great Hotel!!
Stayed at this hotel just a coupleof weeks ago and found the hotel clean and friendly. The food was good and my friends and I had a great time. I would recommend it.
Just spent a fantastic weekend in Bundoran at the Grand Central Hotel!! Bundoran is buzzing with activity and the people are really friendly. The hotel was excellent - very clean and had everything you could possibly want. There is a small gym and a steam room which was nice to relax in! The Central Bar in the hotel was great - live music & open fire. Would definately recommend it.
Is there a rating lower than terrible?
Rooms were dirty, staff very unfriendly, had to clear our own tables in restaurant, food cold and bland, Manager refused to meet us to discuss our complaints, very disappointed all round,a great let down, apparently staff problems in kitchen , which should reflect on guests who havee paid good money. No apologies were offered only excuses. Not to be Recommended.
Bring a tent
The toilets are filthy, the staff are unhelpful and rude and there is a limited choice of beers in the bar.
Accommodation and Faire Good
Just come back from St Patricks weekend celebrations. Staff could not do enough for you. food was of high quality and well presented
Nice staff
I stayed @ the Grand Central, a few times of the summer of 2002, I found the staff friendly & helpfulthe food was good, any problem I had was quickly sorted out, I would recommend for a family break
the food was a disgrace, the manageement were rude but on the bright side i found the restaurant staff lovely in particular a blond girl called Sarah who brightened up my stay in the dump
what can i say the place is a pig sty...... wait a minuite thats unfair, to the pig sty. The food or so they called it reaked of some foul odour. I have to say that the management were very good, at nothing, very snotty, knew everything, u were just another smug they could take advantage off, i think its safe to say that i wont be returning, but the bar was quite nice, one fella in particular stood out, a ginger lad, very friendly with frightinly handsome good looks.
Eat till you burst!!
Very comfortable rooms, friendly staff, delicious food served in ample portions, if you leave feeling hungry, boy, do you have a problem!!!
Great entertainment. Loved Fiddlers Green, atmosphere was so good.

YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — Graffiti artists in Myanmar are unhappy with a new ban on their handiwork in the country's biggest city, but expect many to carry on one way or another.
Yangon city authorities imposed a ban Monday prohibiting anyone from drawing on public buildings, roads and bridges, as well as in schools and parks. Authorities said anyone defying the ban would face an unspecified punishment.
The graffiti artists said Tuesday that the ban was not a surprise because authorities were copying regulations enacted in other countries. The artists also said they expected many to continue drawing, and urged authorities to provide a legal outlet for their work so they would not have to act illegally.
"I cannot complain about the ban because many countries have such regulations. But the prohibition doesn't stop graffiti artists," said 19-year-old graffiti artist Arker Kyaw, who became a minor celebrity with his painting of President Barack Obama on the eve of his historic visit last month.
"The psychology of young people is the urge to do something more when it is prohibited," Arker said. "Authorities should allow graffiti artists to paint in appropriate public spaces."
A graffiti artist who calls himself "twotwenty" also said he expected the ban. "But they can't stop what we are doing," he added.
The 27-year-old artist is one of the four members of a group called Yangon Street Art that has been drawing graffiti since 2006.
"It's fair that they impose a ban. But they (the authorities) should give some opportunity to us by providing some places for graffiti and street artists, like in other countries," said twotwenty. "If not, things will get worse."
He said the number of graffiti and street artists in Yangon has been increasing steadily since 2010 and now stands at about 150, adding that he dreams of organizing an exhibition of their work.

Internet book deal boosts WH Smith
Saturday 16 January 1999
Helicon produces educational reference material, including the Hutchinson encyclopedia, both in print form and online. WH Smith plans to use the content in the relaunch of its Internet site in the spring, which is expected to include a wide range of electronic commerce activities such as the sale of books, CDs and videos.
The company has been working on the site since last summer when it acquired the Internet Bookshop, an online book retailer. The new site is expected to extend well beyond Smith's traditional product categories.
After the success of Dixons' Freeserve Internet access service, which has helped Dixons shares to double since its September launch, the prospect of Smith's following a similar route has excited the City. Smith's shares surged 32p to a new high of 623p after big rises earlier this week.
Analysts said the Helicon deal was logical, acknowledging that books could successfully be sold over the Internet, while the physical product could also be downloaded direct to subscribers' PCs.
"It is a little crazy at the moment," said Iain McDonald, retail analyst at Charterhouse Tilney. "If you just mention the Internet your share price goes though the roof."
He said it would be easy for Smith's to distribute CD-Roms through its retail network, and the retailer also has a good knowledge of its customer base though its Clubcard loyalty scheme.
Richard Handover, Smith's chief executive, said: "Our strategy is to develop our brand, including strengthening our retail businesses and building an online capability."
WH Smith used to have an Internet capability through Waterstones before it sold the book retailer to the HMV Media buyout. Wary of the huge success of US online booksellers such as Amazon.com, WH Smith filled the gap swiftly by buying the Internet Bookshop in July. Smith's has been using the Internet expertise of that company in the relaunch of its website.
WH Smith is paying 94p per share cash for Helicon, with a share alternative of three WH Smith shares for every 18.86 Helicon share.
Helicon was formed in 1992 as a management buyout from Random House, the publishers. Last year it recorded a loss of pounds 86,000 on sales of pounds 2.7m. In the six months to September losses increased to pounds 166,000 on sales of pounds 1.6m. Its third-quarter performance was below expectations.

Kerala cabinet biased in Vijayan`s favour, CBI tells SC
New Delhi: The CBI has told the Supreme Court that the Kerala Governor was justified in granting sanction for prosecution of CPI(M) leader Pinarayi Vijayan in a multi-crore rupee graft case as the "state cabinet was biased in his favour".
The agency submitted that Vijayan being the state party
secretary had the propensity to influence the council of
ministers as even the Chief Minister`s appointment in the
CPI(M) hierarchy is subject to the party leader`s opinion.
"Petitioner Pinarayi Vijayan was ex-minister and at
present he is the Secretary of the ruling political party viz;
Communist Party (Marxist). As per the hierarchical set up and
the actual exercise of power in the party, the State Secretary
of Marxist Party is politically the top most position.
"In other words, the party secretary`s opinion counts a
lot in the selection of chief ministerial candidate as well as
the council of ministers. When it comes to the matter of
prosecution of such a person, the council of ministers would
not appreciate the real facts and advise the Governor without
any bias," the CBI said in an affidavit.
The CBI`s affidavit has been filed in response to
Vijayan`s appeal in the apex court challenging Governor R S
Gavai`s decision allow his prosecution in the SNC Lavalin
corruption case, even though the state government had opposed
it on the ground that the case was politically motivated.
The CPI-M leader is facing prosecution for his alleged
role in awarding a contract in 1997 for renovation and
modernisation of three hydro-power plants in the state to a
Canadian firm, SNC Lavalin, without any competitive bidding.
The government`s official auditor had later found that
the award of the contract by Kerala State Electricity Board to
the firm allegedly at the behest of the minister had resulted
in a loss of Rs 3.5 billion crore to the exchequer.
Though the council of ministers declined to grant
sanction to CBI, the Governor had subsequently granted the
sanction under Article 163 (2) of the Constitution.
The CBI further said that the Governor`s action cannot
be challenged in the court as he enjoys Constitutional
immunity under Article 163 (2).
"According or not according of sanction is a matter
distinct and different from one for which advice from the
council of ministers is required. The decision taken by the
Governor in his discretion shall be final, and the validity of
anything done by the Governor shall not be questioned on the
ground that he ought or not to have acted in his discretion,"
the affidavit added.

THE HAGUE, The Netherlands, January 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Amendment of accounting policies to improve consistency, comparability and transparency
Aegon today announces changes to its accounting policies related to deferred policy acquisition costs and longevity reserves as of January 1, 2014. These changes improve the consistency, comparability and transparency of Aegon's financial results and will be applied beginning with the first quarter 2014 condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The retrospective adoption of these two accounting changes is expected to decrease shareholders' equity by between EUR 2.2 and 2.5 billion at January 1, 2014. Aegon estimates that these accounting changes will increase underlying earnings before tax by approximately EUR 80 million in 2014.
"With the measures announced today, we continue to execute on our financial strategy. Management believes the amended accounting policies related to deferred policy acquisition costs improve the consistency, comparability and transparency of our financial results," said Aegon CFO Darryl Button. "Furthermore, the amended accounting policy related to longevity reserves is consistent with our internal economic framework, the current regulatory solvency regime and the future methodology to be applied under Solvency II."
Aegon's new accounting policy for deferred policy acquisition costs is aligned with the current proposals for future insurance accounting under IFRS. Under the new accounting policy, deferred policy acquisition costs only include costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or renewal of insurance contracts. The previous accounting policy was based on a broader definition of costs that could be deferred, including sales support costs. The adoption of the new accounting policy is expected to decrease shareholders' equity by between EUR 1.4 and 1.6 billion. The company estimates that this accounting change will reduce underlying earnings before tax in 2014 by approximately EUR 50 million, as certain expenses are no longer deferrable and are directly accounted for in the income statement.
In addition, effective January 1, 2014, Aegon will establish its longevity reserves in the Netherlands on prospective mortality tables instead of observed mortality tables. IFRS reserves were previously based on observed mortality tables, while actual experience was taken through underlying earnings. The adoption of prospective mortality tables ensures that Aegon's IFRS reserving for longevity is consistent with that of its regulatory solvency calculations and internal economic framework. The change is expected to lead to a decrease in shareholders' equity of between EUR 0.8 and 0.9 billion, and an increase in underlying earnings before tax of approximately EUR 130 million in 2014.
Aegon's gross financial leverage ratio stood at 30.1% on September 30, 2013. The pro forma impact of the announced accounting policy changes on the leverage ratio is 2.8 to 3.3 percentage points as a result of lower shareholders' equity. Consistent with Aegon's objective to reduce its gross financial leverage ratio to within its target range of 26 to 30%, the company has today announced the redemption of the USD 550 million junior perpetual capital securities in a separate press release. This redemption improves the gross leverage ratio by 1.2 percentage points and will reduce Aegon's future leverage costs. The adverse impact on Aegon's group IGD ratio is approximately six percentage points. On September 30, 2013, the pro forma group IGD solvency ratio including the repayment of the securities would have been approximately 202%.
The changes to Aegon's accounting policies have no impact on the statutory capital position of the company's subsidiaries or on the company's group IGD solvency ratio.
Aegon will host a conference call today, January 22, 2014, at 09:00 CET which can be followed through aegon.com.

- The effect of the European Union's Solvency II requirements and other regulations in other jurisdictions affecting the capital Aegon is required to maintain;
- Litigation or regulatory action that could require Aegon to pay significant damages or change the way Aegon does business;

- Competitive, legal, regulatory, or tax changes that affect profitability, the distribution cost of or demand for Aegon's products;
- Changes in accounting regulations and policies or a change by Aegon in applying such regulations and policies, voluntarily or otherwise, may affect Aegon's reported results and shareholders' equity;
- The impact of acquisitions and divestitures, restructurings, product withdrawals and other unusual items, including Aegon's ability to integrate acquisitions and to obtain the anticipated results and synergies from acquisitions;

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats.
