Ancient Trackings
By Scott Thybony
Flagstaff, AZ – So many pages of geological history lie wide open at the Grand Canyon; it's hard to know where to begin reading. And it's even harder when it comes to the fine print. Flagstaff writer Scott Thybony brings us his latest commentary from deep within the Grand Canyon. Scott Thybony is a Flagstaff based writer. To see a slide show of the ancient tracks he found in the Canyon visit our Web site KNAU dot org.

Intergalactic Damien Hirst artwork to be auctioned
Posted: March 04, 2014|
An impressive Damien Hirst work heads up an exciting new sale of painting, sculpture, photography and modern design at Bonhams tomorrow.
The piece by the Hirst, who has a house in Combe Martin, is estimated at £60,000 to £80,000. Conceived as a single work, "Beautiful Intergalactic Fantasmagoria in a Rainbow Big Bang Explosion, Let's Have More Intercourse 2012", is formed from nine iconic spin paintings on paper laid together.
Another highlight, Banksy's Keep It Real, depicts a stick figure with a billboard against a bright blue ground.
This work is estimated to sell for £50,000 to £70,000, and was acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in 2002.
During the A Contemporary Edge sale, Bonhams will also be auctioning works by eight leading contemporary artists to raise funds for SHAPE, the UK's leading arts charity which works to help disabled people engage with art and culture.
Amongst those who have donated are Sir Antony Gormley, Angela de la Cruz, Jake & Dinos Chapman, Marc Quinn and Tacita Dean.
Gareth Williams, Head of Contemporary Art at Bonhams, comments: "We are delighted to be launching this new and exciting sale format, our first to be held in Bonhams' brand new flagship salerooms.
"The curated section offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire works by artists that are new to the auction world.
"We are also proud to be supporting Shape in their fundraising efforts towards such a great arts-based cause."
A Contemporary Edge takes place tomorrow at Bonhams' New Bond Street salerooms. Viewing takes place tonight until 6pm and between 9am to 3pm tomorrow. The auction starts at 6pm.

Voice of the people
Arming teachers is not the answer
I was born an Army brat, which meant I attended a lot of schools in many different states and a couple different countries in my youth. There is no way I agree with teachers (or custodians ) having weapons of any type.
Most educaters are very hard-working and dedicated, but they also have their misfits and fanatics; some are unstable and have many issues of their own. Just look at the ones in this area caught with pornography and trying to date their students via their computers.
I would never allow a child of mine to attend a school allowing a teacher packing heat. I would rather they take their chances outside of school property.

Pastors need to address abortion
Jan. 20, 2013, is Sanctity Human Life Sunday. I wonder how many sermons will be for those 55,000,000 that have been killed by this barbaric procedure since 1973. The answer to that question is very few.
In years past, this date has come and gone without hardly any notice, which is a shame. It is controversial and pastors don't want to preach on this subject, as so many in their congregation have walked that road and they don't want to offend them. However, there are many who are suffering emotional scars and need to hear that Jesus forgives and he'll take the pain away.
Hopefully, it will be more than the three pastors I knew that actually brought a message on Sanctity of Human Life last year.
God's word is clear. We all will be held accountable for what we should have done to save as many of these little lives as possible, but refused to do so!
In closing, a couple of years before my mom died, she told me of her abortion when she was 17. The year was 1941 and it wasn't a back-alley abortion either, as it was in a doctor's office in Huntington. I remember she said, "It was a little boy." She regretted it until the day she died at the age of 84.

Utilities should give notice prior to work
To the West Virginia American Water Corporation: Please be advised that I am grateful for your service and I know that it is a full-time job in maintaining our old water lines, as you have been here on West Washington Avenue several times in the last six months.
What has happened to the common courtesy of letting the residents know that the water is going to be shut off for maintenance? There is no sign of an emergency break, the trucks just showed up and started jackhammering, then you packed up and left for lunch. I myself am retired and can cope with the inconvenience, but my tenant has a baby and has to be at work at 4 p.m. not knowing that the water is shut off for the afternoon.
It used to be that the water company would leave a card on the door the night before it was going to work on the lines or would notify the customers affected with a knock on the door. Sure would appreciate that courtesy returning.

Toro Loco brings its Mexican fare to Ashland
ASHLAND — Recently a new location of Toro Loco opened along 13th Street in Ashland.
Toro Loco is a regional family of restaurants in the Ohio and Kentucky region with five other locations. It was founded by Jose Garcia a restaurateur who also owns the Ashland-based Italian restaurant Bella Fonte.
"About one year ago in April we tried a new restaurant concept in this location called The Grille, which served a mix of Spanish and Peruvian cuisine," said Theresa Newsome, office manager for Toro Loco. "The new restaurant idea wasn't as popular as we wanted it to be, so we decided to turn this into another Toro Loco location. Enough people were asking us why we didn't put a Toro Loco in Ashland, so it just made sense for the change."
The restaurant didn't close during the transition, but there were some changes.
"We did some painting and a little of refurbishing here and there but there wasn't a lot of work in the transition," Newsome said. "We worked for about two months on the transition, getting the new menus just right. Because some of our chefs had worked in other Toro Loco locations they already knew the menu."
The new Toro Loco location will carry over some Peruvian items from the old menu including "Tallarin Saltado" a stir-fried spaghetti pasta served with beef ($11) or seafood ($13). There are also some variations of "Ceviche" a Peruvian-style tossed fish salad made with fresh, uncooked fish that has been marinated. Customers can also try "Cicha" a Peruvian style of cider made with maize.
The Mexican menu includes traditional favorites like tacos, burritos, enchilladas and chiles rellenos (stuffed peppers). These include the Burrito Grande ($10.99) filled with ground beef, chicken, steak tips, rice and beans. There are also a wide selection of combination dinners like the Grande Special ($10.50) featuring a chalupa, chili relleno, enchilda, taco, burrito, rice and beans.
The restaurant also features a lunch buffet from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Sunday ($7.50). The buffet features several Mexican dishes, a Peruvian dish, a salad bar and dessert. The Ashland location also features a banquette room that can be booked for private parties and sometimes hosts live music. This location serves a variety of beers but no liquors.
"We use the freshest ingredients, and we stay true to authentic Mexican cuisine," Newsome said. "We have a lot of dishes that are really good. I think the thing the most people ask us about is the queso, which is made from a Oaxaca cheese and we use in a variety of dishes. We have what I think is the most fabulous salsa you will ever have. We also have a really hot salsa that we keep under lock and key in the kitchen for the really adventurous types. We pride ourselves on great customer service. We want our customers to come in, kick their shoes off and enjoy themselves."
Toro Loco is located at 915 13th St., in Ashland. It is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sundays through Thursdays and from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays.
For carry-out orders or more information, call 606-393-3939. Cash and all major credit cards are accepted.

Alcohol: Easy ways to TURN DOWN a drink!
Ways to refuse a Drink/Drugs
· "No, thanks!"
No explanation necessary; your response can be short, sweet and direct.
· "Thanks, but I've got a ton of work to do later."
· "I'd rather get my own, thanks."
· "I'm allergic to alcohol."
· "I'm driving tonight."
· "I have an important meeting tomorrow."
· "I'm OK for now."
Keep a half-filled cup with you, whether you are drinking or not.
· "No thanks, I'm taking medicines that I can't drink with."
· "I'm dieting....alcohol's got too many calories."
· With an invitation...Leave the option open for the future.
· "Not now, but maybe later" or "Another time"
*With a friend...
Plan with a friend beforehand what each of you will or will not do, stay with the plan, and stick together. The decision to drink less then becomes kind of a team effort. /
*With an exit...
*Plan to physically relocate in case you feel you are in an uncomfortable situation. /
· "No thanks, I'm still a little partied out from New Year's".
· "I've had enough"
· Again: short, to the point and completely acceptable.
· "You know what your problem is? You think too much about others.
· It's time you start making yourself and your needs a top priority."
"Why - do I seem sober?"/
1. See, I've got this thing about putting poison into my body... I try not to.
2. Drinking at West Canaan High was your life...I don't want YOUR LIFE!
(props to Varsity Blues)
3. I do not want to lose what little intelligence and common sense I have.
4. I'm too much of a jerk when I'm sober. It won't be any better if I'm drunk.
5. I'm donating a kidney to my 8-year old cousin tomorrow...and he's already a recovering alcoholic.
6. I'm allergic to anything that looks like Kool-Aid...I turn red and bloaty and end up crashing through a wall and yelling "Oh YEAH!" at everyone.
7. Hey thanks for the drink...now let me tell you about how brilliant L. Ron Hubbard is...
8. That is very kind of you, I'd love an apple juice, glass of soda, etc. if you don't mind.
9. Sorry, I never drink on Friday (or whatever day it is)
10. Not right now -- the party's wild enough as it is and I want to appreciate it fully.
-Compiled by John Spranza, Georgia Highlands College
No more -- I leak.
I'm too young and dangerous.
No Mas
Too windy, I'll spill it.
I'm delaying my start.
You see, I'm expecting.
Sorry, I'm allergic.
No. I'm single.
Nope, not in front of the kids!
Not my time. Later, maybe.
No. And you're the 548th to ASK!
Nope. My limit is two.
Not that desperate.
* No thanks, my liver is tired
* I can't lift 12 ounces
* I already have a 6 pack
* I would rather not waste the calories
* I am trying to prevent a beer belly
* I don't feel like praying to the porcelain gods tonight
* I'm driving
* I'm pregnant

O's Hammel apologizes for win
For Orioles, this season is a continuation of last year
Jason Hammel picked up the win in the Orioles opener against the Rays. He really did, despite what he said about his starting performance afterward.
"Overall, I was pretty bad today," he said (via MASN). "Just uncharacteristically wild with the fastball. Seventy-five pitches after six innings. On a good day when I'm commanding, I'm going to finish the game. They helped me out by taking early hacks. It got me through some innings."
Lest you think Hammel stunk up the joint — the joint being Tropicana Field, which isn't a great joint for baseball — he went six innings, giving up three runs, three hits, one walk and striking out two. That won't win you a Cy Young, but it's far from dreadful.
Still, Hammel deflected all credit to his teammates for the 7-4 win.
"I feel like they did it all," he said. "I honestly don't feel like I did anything today. It was a battle. I hate that it was the first one out of the gates. It really was. I wasn't too good today. I'll be back in five days. I'll go work on it in two days to get it right and be good to go real soon."
Manager Buck Showalter said Hammel might have been dialed up to 11 because it was Opening Day.
"I think Hamm was pretty amped up today," Showalter said. "I thought stuff-wise he was in pretty good shape. Sometimes, you want something to happen too much."

What's The Difference Between An Issue, A Crisis And An EmergencyMarch 21, 2012 on 10:33 am | In issues management, PR, Public Relations | 1 Comment
Photo credit: sideshowmom from morguefile.com
In the grand scheme of things knowing the difference between an issue, a crisis and an emergency can help you craft appropriate communication strategies to weather the storms.
From our last post, where we defined the life cycle of an issue, but we never really answered the big question: What is an issue? So, an issue is a trend or condition that, if continued, would have a significant effect on how your company is operated, as one researcher sees it. That is to say, "an issue is a type of problem whose resolution can affect the organization," says W. Timothy Coombs, a leading crisis communication researcher.
But there are two types of issues: crisis and emergencies. And each of these will affect your company differently.
Crisis: A crisis is an unpredictable event that is a major threat to your company, an entire industry or to stakeholders. Simply, a crisis is a crisis when it is of such magnitude that its occurrence will fundamentally change how you do business.
Emergency: The difference between a crisis and an emergency lies in the details. Yes, an emergency poses a treat to your company. Severe weather would be a good example of this. Yes, an emergency is unpredictable. And, yes, it will impact the company and, perhaps, the stakeholders. But the difference lies in two distinct areas. First an emergency won't affect a whole industry. Usually emergencies are localized. Secondly, unlike a crisis that alters the fundamentals of an organization's operations, an emergency temporarily disrupts them. Your company will usually recover fully from an emergency.
Recovery is the sticky part. However, understanding what is an issue, crisis and emergency helps with communication management. More on this later.

Since 1994, Dr. Arnett has designed and taught graduate level courses in fundamental and advanced concepts of epidemiology, methodological and theoretical aspects of epidemiology, and grant writing. From 1998-2001, she served as Chair of the Epidemiology Master's Degree Program at the University of Minnesota and as Director for the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funded Training Program in Cardiovascular Genetic Epidemiology. At UAB, Dr. Arnett leads the Seminar Series and teaches Grant Writing, a doctoral level course that teaches the fundamentals of writing grant applications.
Dr. Arnett is an elected fellow in the American Heart Assocation Council on Epidemiology and Prevention, the Society of Epidemiology and the American College of Epidemiology (ACE), and serves on the Board of Directors for ACE. Dr. Arnett is President Elect of the Greater Southeast Affiliate of the American Heart Association, representing Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida and Puerto Rico. In addition, Dr. Arnett is Chair of the Scientific Publishing Committee for the American Heart Association and serves on the AHA Board of Directors. Dr. Arnett has served as an Associate Editor for the American Journal of Epidemiology since 1996 and as an Editor since 2004. She currently serve as Guest Editor-in-Chief for Circulation.
Dr. Arnett's primary research area is cardiovascular genetic epidemiology. Professor Arnett's current research involves the genetic epidemiology of atherosclerosis hypertension, and target organ damage from hypertension. Pharmacogenetics is another research interest. Dr. Arnett is Co-Director of the Program in Analytic and Epidemiologic Genomics for the UAB Heflin Center for Human Genetics.
Genetics of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy: HyperGEN (Arnett, PI):
This family study seeks to identify genes contributing to hypertensive heart disease in families participating in the Hypertension Genetic Epidemiology Network (HyperGEN) study. The study is currently in the midst of a genome-wide association analysis to identify genes contributing to left ventricular hypertrophy.
Genetics of Antihypertensive Associated Treatments, GENHAT (Arnett, PI):
Ancillary to the ALLHAT study, this grant is evaluating genetic modifiers of response to four antihypertensive treatments in ~39,000 hypertensive individuals.
Genetics of Diet and Lipid Lowering Network, GOLDN (Arnett, PI):
GOLDN was designed to evaluate the genetic predictors of response to two interventions, one to raise triglyceride values (i.e., a high fat meal), and one to lower triglycerides (i.e., drug treatment with fenofibrate). We are currently conducting a genome-wide association study to identify genes contributing to these traits.
Pharmacogenetics of Methotrexate Response (Arnett, PI):
This study is ancillary to the Treatment of Early Aggressive Rheumatoid Arthritis Study (TEAR). We are evaluating candidate genes contributing to folate synthesis, polyglutaminization of methotrexate, and drug transport genes to determine variable efficacy and toxicity of methotrexate treatment.

2014 Grammy Awards
Can I just say, snubbed big time!! Justin only won 3 awards this year, after the wonderful year he's had with 20/20!
Best Rap/Sung Collaboration:
Jay Z Featuring Justin Timberlake, "Holy Grail"
Best Music Video:
Justin Timberlake Featuring Jay Z, "Suit and Tie" (David Fincher, video director; Timory King, video producer)
Best R&B Song:
Justin Timberlake, "Pusher Love Girl" (James Fauntleroy, Jerome Harmon, Timothy Mosley and Justin Timberlake, songwriters)
I have to say, I am glad that "Pusher Love Girl" won because I think it's such a wonderful song. But "Mirrors" (*my* Song of the Year) losing out on Best Pop Solo Performance? And The 20/20 Experience losing out on Best Pop Vocal Album? Unbelievable!

Students, teachers recognised for inventiveness
Students and teachers at Redesdale-Mia Mia Primary School are celebrating after being recognised for the number of inventions they had submitted to the Bendigo Inventor Awards.BRONWYN BEYERS December 26, 2012 4:23am
Students and teachers at Redesdale-Mia Mia Primary School received a visit from the Bendigo Inventor Awards committee recently.
Redesdale-Mia Mia Primary School has been recognised for having an inventive group of students.
The school's students entered the Bendigo Inventor Awards and the committee was so impressed with the number of entries from one school that representatives from Greater Bendigo and the awards committee visited the school earlier this month to make a special presentation to the school and students to present them with their awards.
Acting principal Ben Fiegert said it was a great chance to showcase the school.
''This is wonderful publicity for our school and the communities of Redesdale and Mia Mia,'' he said.
''Well done to the students who received awards and hopefully we can look at entering the competition again next year.''

I'm a huge fan of fantasy/science fiction novels, but also very huge on Manga type stories. My aim is to write stories with strong Manga elements, be they fantasy or otherwise.
My favourite authors include Douglas Adams, J.R.R Tolkien, Terry Pratchett, Joss Whedon, Harlan Elison, H.P Lovecraft, Alan Moore and Hiromu Arakawa. I don't have a favourite book as such, but anything by the above authors is a good read in my eyes.
Currently I have one book out called Trapped on Draconica. But I am hoping to have more in the near future.

Our Social Security COLA was 1.5 percent because this was the cost of inflation. This should be a standard that should be followed by federal and state agencies. Mount Prospect Elementary District 57 teachers are receiving a 3 percent increase and a 3 percent step increase the first year, a 2 percent base increase and a 3 percent step increase in the second year. Where is our step increase and why not 3 percent?
Retired people are joining the AARP every year. I believe they should be joining the teachers union -- the benefits are greater and more pleasurable.

ABERDEEN, S.D. (AP) — A South Dakota judge has ordered an Iowa couple to pay more than $1 million over wool loan deficiency payments received for sheep they didn't own.
The U.S. attorney's office says Howard "Jack" Aleff and Reena Slominski, of Knoxville, Iowa, submitted 132 false claims for their business, L & J Wool & Fur.
As a result, they got nearly $304,000 from the Farm Services Agency in Iowa and South Dakota.
They earlier pleaded guilty to a criminal charge of conspiracy to defraud the United States and were sentenced to probation, fined $60,000 and ordered to repay that amount in restitution.
U.S. District Judge Charles Kornmann in Aberdeen has now entered an additional civil judgment of $1.38 million.

The 42-year-old is expected to make his first appearance in the FA Cup first round when Bournemouth host John Still's League Two side on Saturday.
And the former England keeper spoke of the confidence in the squad as they look to earn a place in round two in what would be his 59th FA Cup appearance.
"I always said there was a lot of talent in this squad and Eddie has put his stamp on it," James told the Bournemouth Echo. "He has got the players playing very confidently.
"If selected, it will be the first time I have played in the first round. If not, it will be the first time I will have been involved in a first-round tie.
"For the likes of us, it is a great opportunity to progress and maybe get a good draw. If you get through the first two rounds, then who knows who you could play. It could be Manchester City or Manchester United and how good would that be?"

We headed to Ogawa for dinner after reading good reviews here. We were not let down! I ordered the vegetable tempura combo, which came with rice, miso soup, a good portion of tempura, salad, fried shumai, and an avocado roll. The fried items were perfectly done, crisp and not greasy. The rest of the food was fresh and delicious. My boyfriend ordered a shrimp tempura roll and a tuna roll and salmon sushi. The fish was excellent, and the portions were very fair. The waiter was patient and took our special requests in stride, and I didn't feel rushed. We will definitely be heading back to Ogawa soon.

I was very bored one night so, I stsrted to search for the best rated sushi places in the west village. I Know Sakura Hana gets great reviews, I like them but, I wanted a change. So, I tried Ogawa Cafe. THE BOMB! Some of the greatest Sushi delivery! The price is unbeatable and makes it taste that much better. Try it I promise you won't be disappointed
Posted by en27 on 08/05/2006
I work in the area and have probably walked by this place a dozen times without realizing it's there. I'm glad I've finally found it. I'm a big sushi fan and Ogawa was among the best I've had for the price. Definitely recommended!
Posted by local sushi lover on 04/23/2006
I just discovered this place and i am so happy, it is fantastic! cheap and very fast delivery. It's not the best in the city, but for the price and convinience, it beats any other place i know. give it a try!
Posted by Anonymous on 04/15/2006
it's a tiny hole-in-the-wall. there are only 5 tables and you'll miss it if you weren't looking hard for the restaurant. the sushi is fresh and cheap. great spicy rolls (tuna, white tuna, salmon, yellowtail, scallop). Also try the fried oysters appetizer and fried banana with green tea ice cream dessert
Posted by Mark on 12/18/2005
Great rolls, fast delivery, good value! A trustable choice.
Posted by baileyelliot on 08/14/2005
Every time I order I am shocked by how fast they arrive at my door. Quality, consistent Japanese -- better than some of the more expensive options in the area. Always good and fresh -- what more could you ask for...

Hi ladies
I'm back with another review on the Liz Earle foot care range.The range consists of 3 main products for perfectly pampered feet,great for a at home pedi and it really does end up working out cheaper.So lets get started!
Foot Scrub
I'm the type of person who has really rough feet,I have no idea why maybe its from the wrong shoes or something but all I know is they are so rough they are sharp and they are as dry as hell,now I will admit I'm a bit of a tight bum when it comes to spending 30 to 40 dollars on a pedi so when I received the foot scrub I was really happy.I tried it a few times and I did notice a huge difference but unfortunately my feet are still rough but I do think if I continue to use the foot scrub they will improve ill keep you posted.
Liz Earle says
"Our new Foot Scrub, containing natural pumice, gently yet intensively exfoliates the rough skin on your feet to leave them smooth and buffed to perfection. Includes softening avocado and wheatgerm oils and the invigorating aromas of peppermint and rosemary essential oils for sweet-smelling feet."
Foot Repair Moisturiser
The thing that one me over with this one is that it smelt like peppermint and for me peppermint totally makes me feel refreshed and I love that cooling feeling.The moisturiser leaves you feet feeling smooth and pampered, but feels even better when someone else is massaging it into those tired feet =p
Liz Earle says
"Our refreshing peppermint-scented Foot Repair Moisturiser uses a blend of shea butter, skin-softening wheatgerm oil and avocado oil to intensively moisturise the driest of skins. Best of all, it sinks in fast so won't leave feet feeling greasy."
Foot Spritzer
Now this is something you don't see very often a foot spritzer,I've seen plenty of face spritzers but never a actual foot spritzer which makes extra special, I know for the ladies on the other side of the world its Summer over there so this would be perfect for those hot and sticky days just spray your feet once and have instant refreshed feet. This is great for keeping in the hand bag.But get in quick ladies cause this one is only available until September the 5th 2010 while stocks last.
Liz Earle says
"Spritz your feet, legs and ankles with a cooling and invigorating burst of 9 essential oils including rosemary, spearmint and peppermint. This fast-drying spray fights odour-causing bacteria to help keep skin fresh."
And finally ladies I also wanted to bring your attention to Liz Earle's Kits and Gifts, there perfect for trying out sample sizes, and even prettier as gifts, all Liz Earle's products come beautifully wrapped and some of them even come in beautiful little bags perfect for travelling,in the hand bag or just to look pretty.This one is the New Flight Essentials Kit consisting of 4 great products to help your skin through the air
Liz Earle says
"Air travel can take its toll on your skin, so make sure you stay refreshed and hydrated before, during and after your trip with our new Flight Essentials Kit. Includes four of our most popular beauty must-haves in cabin-friendly sizes."

Top 10 accounting problems in organization
Top 10 accounting problems in an organization
In late 2001, the Arthur Andersen and Enron scandals in America drew attention to the problems of accounting and the scale of corruption that is possible through misappropriation of accounting in business organizations. One of the largest bankruptcy in history, it shook the financial world as it led to closing of Arthur Andersen, one of the world's top five accounting firms. This reveals how accounting rules are abused to paint a rosy picture of business growth contradictory to what might really be happening in a company. Accounting problems build over time and needs visionary and intelligent analysis of facts and figures in order to understand what lies ahead. As a member of Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) Charles Niemeier says, "Problems at the root of the accounting environment are more like the mozo bamboo plant. The South-East Asian bamboo plant can appear to lie dormant for up to five years before growing as much as a foot a day and to more than 100 feet in the coming years. The suddenness of that growth spurt is a bit deceptive though for as much of those early years the plant was developing a complex root system. It's only then that it has the foundation for its shoots to take off." Accordingly accounting problems too build up over time. When kept unchecked, accounting problems and misappropriations have lead to bankruptcy of many leading multinational companies as was seen in the past.
The top ten accounting problems are:
1. Playing with numbers
There can be many irregularities done while maintaining the accounts for a company such as the finance department may inflate the reported earnings of a company or company officials asking the accounts department to change the figures in order to show higher profits in business and gain personal benefits such as promotions, bonuses etc. They can show more profits than it actually is by \'gaming with the numbers". This will increase their market share value for a short time but in the longer run the company might just end up in bankruptcy. This was as seen in one of the Fortune 500 companies. In a report of \'
Congressional Research Service - The Library of Congress" says, in
April, 2002,
Xerox 120" paid a $10 million fine (the largest ever imposed in an accounting case) to settle an SEC complaint and restated its reported income since 1997. The SEC found that Xerox had improperly inflated its reported earnings by over $3 billion, primarily by recognizing future payments as current income. For example, revenue from long-term leases of Xerox equipment was reported immediately rather than at the time payments were received.
2. Not so clear
There is often lack of transparency in showcasing financial statements in an organization. There is a need for developed and standard accounting methods to have a clearer picture, both in private and public sector companies. Otherwise, this can misled the investors about the actual status of their investments and business growth. For e.g. Enron Creditors Recovery Corporation (formerly known as Enron Corporation), an American energy company, reported a revenue of $111 billion in 2000. Fortune declared it as \' America\'s most innovative company" for six consecutive years. But in late 2001, it was found that the positive financial growth was mostly manipulated through systematic and creatively designed accounting fraud. The profits and revenue of the company were result of deals with special purpose entities (limited partnership which it controlled). Hence, the debts and the losses were not reported in its financial statements. The share value of the company fell drastically from $ 90.00 to just pennies. As Enron was considered as a blue chip stock, the investors were devastated. Owing to complex financial statements that were published for the shareholders, it was years before the investors even had the slightest clue that something was going terribly wrong. The lack of transparency in the financial statements has often resulted in such cases of bankruptcy where the investors are the worst hit.
3. Accounting methods
There are often confusions as the finance department cannot judge which system of accounting will be best suited for the smooth functioning of a company. Like the finance department in a medical centre might be confused on how to account for patients coming with ailments that require long term treatment. Critics say that while accounting long collection period may indicate that revenue was over billed and ultimately may be uncollectible. There is a need for the evolution of a new era of standard accounting regulations as the world prepares for the convergence of national, international and multijurisdictional planes especially for publicly traded entities.
4. Dealing with outside agencies
The finance department often faces problems while dealing with outside agencies such as government departments, including tax departments etc., while seeking for sanctions or permissions etc. There is always a need for professional and dynamic accountants who can handle this shortcoming with intelligence.
5. Lack of communication
It is most often seen that there is a lack of intra-departmental communication between the finance department handling accounting and the management body of an organization. This makes it difficult for the finance department to keep a track of the business growth of the organization and even warn of possible threats it can face in the future. An accountant handling the figures of an organization on a daily basis most often develops expertise in analyzing the business and even may help in forming future strategies and contribute positively towards business growth of the organization. But in most cases the finance department is not involved while taking major decisions for the organization.
6. Reporting at gross
In some companies, the accounting is done based on reporting at gross. This led to inflating market share proportions. For e.g., eBay.com included the entire price of auctioned items into its revenue even though it had no ownership or credit risk for items auctioned online.
7. Revenue issues
The accountants may also face problems in determining what should be considered as revenues while accounting for an organization. There are often questions whether what is billed is considered as revenue or should it get logged only when the company receives the payments.
8. Human errors
There can also be human errors such as typographical mistakes. Such mistakes might lead to problems in the final tallying of the balance sheets.
9. Lazy bones
There can also be issues in accounting if the transactions are not updated on a daily basis. The accountant may forget to make entries of data of previous dates. This can lead to a faulty balance sheet.
10. Keeping an eye
The finance department might also face problems in the absence of a strong hierarchal administrative system. Such systems are highly recommended for keeping a check on any kind of misappropriation, whether deliberate or done by mistake.
These problems can be tackled in various ways. With the advent of globalization, the meaning of accounting and finance is constantly being redefined. The expanding purview of financial services has solutions for any problem under the sun. All that is required is to find the right way. Louis Grumet, publisher of The CPA Journal and executive director of New York State Society's of Certified Public Accountants (NYSSCPA), says,Over the past couple of years, serious issues have been raised about the quality of audits of publicly funded entities across the country, including the state of New York. The public entities questioned include school districts, nursing homes, fire districts, waste disposal sites, and public authorities. To address such concerns, a rising tide of legislation has been deliberated in statehouses and capitols. The profession needs to be better equipped to limit the risk of fraud in these entities and maintain the public trust when it comes to the use of taxpayers' money. Taxpayers should not be taking risks when they pay their taxes. As the financial world evolves in a borderless, technologically advanced era, effective regulation of the profession through an interstate compact and the implementation of accounting academies would better serve and protect the public. Our nation's physical borders are no longer the only borders that require well-prepared and well-educated sentries.

Celebrity chef awards Mame first prize
Celebrity chef Paul Rankin has awarded Mame from year 10 first prize in the latest Harris Masterchef Competition, which took place in May.
The competition saw 13 finalists from across the Harris Federation create their own dishes and cook them under competition conditions, under the watchful eye of judges.
Mame, who was mentored by local chef Suzanne James, created a mouth-watering menu of:
Roast fillet of spiced Cornish pollock with lemon scented cous cous, served with a medley of summer vegetables
Rhubarb and stem ginger yoghurt brûlée
Jubilee brûlée - with seasonal English berries, yoghurt and caramel
Soda bread rolls
Mame is taught by food teacher Kerry Stephenson and for the competition was also mentored by Suzanne James of East Dulwich caterers Suzanne James - Caterers of Distinction. Suzanne supported Mame as she planned her menu and presentation.
"To prepare for the competition Mame tried four different combinations of spices with the fish," commented Suzanne. "I was particularly impressed that Mame wanted to bring in spices that reflected her heritage. That was very interesting for me, and I was excited that she wanted to use locally-grown rhubarb from the allotment of one of the teachers too. That was a lovely touch."
Chef Paul Rankin was joined by other judges, including Lord Harris. Dan Moynihan, Chief Executive of the Harris Federation, said: "Mame was the unanimous choice of all the judges. It was really top restaurant-quality food – brown bread roles, two different amazing puddings and a stunning main."
Highest standards
The Masterchef competition is just one of the ways we encourage the work of our students to match up to the highest standards in the world outside of the academy.
"At Harris we believe that our students should be creating work – whether art, literature, science or cuisine – that can stand comparison with work created by professionals," said Principal Jane Fletcher. "That's why competitions such as this are so important for students and raise their aspirations."
Suzanne James, who also mentors students in our HOPE cupcake business run with Kerry Stephenson (see picture below) agrees: "Competition is really good for students and Mame gained a lot of confidence from this experience. I don't think she knows her own ability. She's a very, very, very talented girl."
The finalists each received £100, with Mame also receiving a Kindle (donated by the academy's school lunch caterers, Sodexo) and a further £100 from Lord Harris.

Halo 3 documentary in the making
Published 9 years, 1 month ago by Dan Page
Bungie have revealed that they're set to release a documentary on how they made the Halo 3 trailer shown at E3.
"Some of our sharp-eyed fans may have noticed Marty [O'Donnell, composer] hinted at an upcoming documentary on Bungie.net.
"It was supposed to be a surprise, but since the man himself gave it away, we can in fact reveal that we have a documentary short that shows the process and people involved in making the E3 trailer, complete with some never before seen scenes (think angles, really) from the trailer. This was the goodie I had hinted at in a previous update."

Stabbing victims show up at different hospitals
San Antonio police investigating whether cases are connected
SAN ANTONIO - Two stabbing victims showed up at different hospitals early Wednesday morning and San Antonio police are investigating whether both cases are connected.
Officers were called to the 6600 block of 1st Park 10 Boulevard, off Interstate 10 just after 1 a.m. but found no victims or suspects.
Shortly after, San Antonio police received reports that a man was dropped off at CHRISTUS Santa Rosa Hospital on Babcock with stab wounds to his neck, back, shoulder and face.
A second victim was then dropped off at Main Methodist Hospital. Police are investigating the details of the stabbing, and are on the lookout for a white Ford Mustang that may also be connected to the stabbings.

The Traveling Naturalist: To the Bat Cave!
The Traveling Naturalist, our series featuring natural wonders and biological curiosities for the science-inclined wanderer.
What's the world's largest concentration of mammals? Many people guess that it's one of the great herds—the wildebeest in the Serengeti, or caribou in the Arctic.
But no: To see even more mammals, you have to look to the sky. More specifically, head to a bat cave in the Texas Hill Country, between now and the end of summer.
At caves around Texas, Mexican free-tailed bats emerge nightly by the millions. Yes, millions. The biggest? Bracken Cave, owned by the excellent conservation organization Bat Conservation International, with an estimated 15 million bats. That's a lot of critters.
These are maternal roosts: females come here to have young. Come fall, they migrate south to Mexico.
Bats emerge en masse from caves, and within minutes they stretch out to the horizon. At a glance it resembles nothing so much as a thick cloud of smoke, swaying in the breeze.
Where there are large congregations of animals, of course, there's also congregations of predators to take advantage of the bounty. Hovering outside the caves are often a variety of raptors, ready to snatch a wayward bat.

Your Favourite Concert/Gig
Regardless, I want you all to share your favourite live experiences from a viewing standpoint. I'll share mine:
Last year, I managed to get a ticket to go and see Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 - the 'Symphony of a Thousand' at the Birmingham Symphony Hall. An enormous concert hall that seats around three thousand and is about one hundred feet high. I was sat in the middle, at the back right in 'The Gods'.
I've been to an awful lot of formal concerts over the years. I've seen Benjamin Britten's War Requiem at the Bridgewater Hall in Manchester, I've seen the Halle Orchestra and Choir (my other half was in the choir) play some incredible repertoire and saw an amazing Violist called Lawrence Power play Berlioz there the week before last as well as numerous smaller concerts at University and elsewhere.
But this Mahler concert was different. I'd never listened to Mahler seriously before - or much since actually, but it was the most captivating and emotionally overpowering experience I have ever been through. The specific piece (Symphony No. 8) is a huge piece - in this instance there were over five hundred performers. The Orchestra (City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra) and at least five large choirs (including the Halle Choir - my other half was performing) and soloists. The performance had everything, delicacy, power, subtlety and majesty. I sat at the back with tears in my eyes for ninety minutes.
I will never experience it again quite like that.
Re: Your Favourite Concert/Gig
Wow, super moving stuff MFB. I used to play timpani, so went to many concerts myself, mainly in the Liverpool Philharmonic hall. I was taught by the first percussionist of that orchestra back in the day. I have fond memories of the usual public pleasing performances of the Hallelujah Chorus, but the performance of the full Planet Suite by Holst was probably the one that moved me the most.
On an altogether different level, I went to see The Tubes a few years ago at a club in Bristol. Crap venue, but the sound was superb & the atmosphere intimate. Great relaxed performance & got to hang with the guys for the rest of the night. Probably the most fun gig night I've had with my pals in years, plus the Tubes guys were a blast!
Ah, so many cool music moments to choose from, I must stop here.
Re: Your Favourite Concert/Gig
I've been to a few...
* Every Max-era Sepultura gig I've been to has been amazing
* Every Machine Head concert but particularly the first headlining tour for Burn My Eyes
* First time I ever saw Slayer
* Download 2009... Whitesnake / ZZTop / Def Leppard

Re: Your Favourite Concert/Gig
Last year saw Jeff Beck. Was lucky enuf to snag 2nd row center seats and to watch him perform up close and personal was amazing.
The first Ringo's All Starrs I went to in 2008 was unbelievable. We had taken a young friend of ours, she was about 25 years old at the time and she wasn't sure what to expect. Experiencing all of the musicians was such fun. It didn't really hit her until they started playing and then she would keep looking at me going "that' really Ringo up there!" like she finally realized what she was witnessing :)
My first concert ever was Sammy Hagar opening for ZZ Top on the Elimnator tour. Saw them on my 15th birthday in Nashville. Special because it was the first and I'll never forget it :)
I am deluded enough to think I can bring something to the table - Huey Lewis.
Re: Your Favourite Concert/Gig
I've had the pleasure to see some big names perform at some great venues but This past Summer, Primus at Santa Barbara Bowl (maybe 3k people only) 10 feet away from the great Les Claypool and Jay Lane... Wolfmother opened. Two days prior though I went to see Rush and the Time Machine Tour, so Rush and Primus in the same weekend was unbelievable.

Re: Your Favourite Concert/Gig
I get your distinction, mr. funkybeat. I hate it when i go to a rock gig and my dad asks me "how was the concert?"
The only actual concerts i've ever been to were my sister in her youth orchestra back in the day or my mum in choir. We went to see the East Riding Youth Orchestra with my sister in the choir at hull city hall (much nicer than you might expect) many years ago and had to move out of our seats because we were sitting where the mayor of our town was supposed to be lol.
My best ever gig was probably 36 crazyfists supported by Exit Ten in york fibbers. Tiny club, we were right at the front. I managed to stand right at the front with the band playing no more than about 1.5 to 2 metres in front of us at all times and attempted to join in with the group vocals bit. Having sung along with all the material, i then got to meet everyone in the 2 respective bands afterwards. Actually i'd already seen a couple of them since they had to use the customer toilets lol. Got a couple of snaps and signed tickets. Also accidentaly dropped my phone in the moshpit and it survived! I used to own one of those rubberised "tough phones", no where near as tough as this £20 beastie lol. Awesome night.
Unfortunately they've turned fibbers into just another hipster bar for students to get drunk after a hard 2 hour day of looking at comic strips on the lecture board and important communications on their iphones or whatever poc smartphone their parents bought them after complaining of not having any money because they'd spent it all in the aformentioned bar :)

Re: Your Favourite Concert/Gig
My very first concert I attended was Elvin Bishop..1974. Since then I've seen Peter Frampton, Yes, Pink, Heart and Rush...All great shows.
Re: Your Favourite Concert/Gig
Three outstanding concerts I saw a long time ago and will never forget.
One was Oregan at the Town Hall with Ralph Towner on acoustic guitar and Colin Walcott on tabla. The gig was transcendent, so perfectly beautiful. I walked out floating on air. Then the foolish fellow I went there with talked me into playing Space Invaders with him at the train station soon afterwards and it totally killed the mood *sigh*
Another was John McLaughlin's One Truth Band with Tony Smith on drums, Fernando Saunders on bass, (forgot the keys player) and the remarkable L Shankar on violin and tambourine.
Tambourine doesn't sound like a big deal but the way he played it and the way it was miked, it sounded like a herd of stampeding elephants. He did a guitar / tambourine duet with John McL and I swear those guys are psychic. Improvising in perfect unison - bar after bar. The stage sound generally was incredible too. Tony Smith's toms sounded like cannons. The whole thing was a buzz.
The third was Queen. I had front row seats. The show was meticulously put together, the band, especially Brian May, was fabulous but ... Freddie ... that man was such a Mr Good Vibes. He could probably even put a smile on the face of a corporate lawyer.
A funny one ... I saw the Brandenburg Orchestra with a friend and I got dolled up to make more of an occasion of it (very rare for me). A bad mistake. My heels were killing me and I had to get them off - but the floor was hard wood while the orchestra was super quiet. I remember the struggle to get the shoes off without going *clunk*
I wasn't the only one having trouble. At the end of a long piece it seemed like the entire audience went into a fit of coughing and throat clearing (being too afraid to make a sound during the music). Then they all cracked up - even the orchestra.
We all could have done with a Marshall stack that night ...
