What'd You Say?:
Did you seriously just call that José Bautista Fathead a POSTER?! Come on! That is a Fathead Wall Decal! FOR REAL! Fatheads are SO much bigger than posters, and an officially licensed José Bautista graphic is huge. A Fathead stays up on its own with a low-tac adhesive that won't damage your walls, making this wall graphic easy to move and reuse.
A Fathead REAL.BIG. wall decal is life-size and features a game time, hi-def image that blows wall stickers and posters out of the competition. So forget Toronto Blue Jays posters and José Bautista stickers; Get it For Real with the José Bautista Wall Decal.
What is A Fathead?:
Fathead is Huge! REAL.BIG. Fathead wall decals are life-size action images that you stick on any smooth surface. You can move them and reuse them and they are safe for walls. Fathead wall decals are way better, bigger and tougher than a poster or sticker. Choose from hundreds of licensed sports and entertainment images.
You can also get a custom Fathead! Upload your photos to make your own Fathead using our Fathead customizer. Need decorating ideas? Need to find a unique gift? Need ideas for party decorating? Need to decorate a den, office, kid's room? Fathead has you covered! Great for party planners, wedding planners, interior designers, decorators, sports enthusiasts, and fans of all ages! A fathead can transform an entire room in a fraction of the time, and cost of painting or wallpapering.
What It's Made Of: This REAL.BIG. Fathead Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you want to cry, don't worry, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic. You can stick 'em near your REAL.BIG. or use 'em to decorate another space.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a few minutes and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, because your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Real.Big. Fatheads are perfect for transforming person caves, basements, family rooms, TV rooms, bedrooms, workout rooms, offices or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface. Need to decorate for a party or get together? Fatheads are the ultimate companion for watching the big game or as decorations for a theme party.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. For those curious folks who may want to try to stick their Real.Big. Fathead in clever places like on the sidewalk or on your Dad's car, you may want to rethink your decorating because to be honest, it won't stick or stay for very long. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces. When we say you should put it on an interior surface, we don't recommend putting it in your garage unless you have one of those fancy, finished, heated garages. Fatheads don't like the cold, but who would want to leave their poor Fathead in the cold anyway? Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself, let's just put it this way, your Fathead will not let go without a fight. The best way to prevent this is to grab a friend or two and have them help you put up your Fathead. Then you get to show it off that much sooner.

Limestone drum slab depicting the birth of Prince Siddhartha
From the Great Stupa at Amaravati, Guntur District, Andhra Pradesh, India, 2nd century AD
The remains of the Great Stupa at Amaravati are some of the most valuable and impressive expressions of early Buddhism in India. This relief, one of the finest sculptures from Amaravati, shows four scenes relating the birth of the Buddha.
The top-right panel depicts the sleeping Queen Maya, mother of Prince Siddhartha (the Buddha). According to myth, Siddhartha's conception took place when Maya saw a white elephant enter her side in a dream. In this scene, she is with her attendant and the Lokapalas, guardians of the four directions. The narrative progresses to the panel on the left, where astrologers and seers are collected to interpret this dream in the court of her husband, King Shuddhodhana.
The bottom-right scene shows the next part of the narrative, the moment after Siddhartha was born. Maya was walking in the Lumbini forest, and, holding on to the branch of a shala tree, gave birth to him, again from her right side. The image of a person holding the branch of a tree is an ancient one in India, which is also seen in the cult of the Shalabhanjika Yakshi (literally, the yakshi who is breaking a branch of the Shala tree). The baby Siddhartha is depicted symbolically as a long cloth held by the four Lokapalas. His presence is indicated by the presence of two tiny footprints on the cloth.
The last scene in the bottom-left of the relief shows Maya taking the baby to the clan's yaksha, Shakyavardhana. A platform with offerings around it underlines the sacredness of the tree in which he resides. When the tree spirit recognizes the baby's Buddhahood to come, he appears from the trunk, and reverentially folds his hands, worshipping the child. Since Siddhartha's divine nature is by this time known, in the last scene we see his aniconic presence (his footprints upon the cloth) sheltered by a parasol carried by an attendant.

Crisis in South Sudan
Almost 2 million people have been displaced by violence in South Sudan since mid-December 2013, including around 504 539 people who are sheltering in neighbouring countries. The security situation remains tense with sporadic fighting concentrated in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile States.
Around a quarter of South Sudanese are now food insecure, and the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis carried out in December 2014 indicates that food security has deteriorated at an alarming rate since the outbreak of the conflict. Some 2.5 million people are now facing crisis or emergency levels of food insecurity and the outlook for 2015 is dire.
Acute malnutrition is expected to remain above emergency thresholds and food security remains critical. In the worst-affected counties, as much as 80 percent of the population was unable to cultivate staple crops during the last agricultural season. Above-normal flooding in Lakes and Warrap States further affected production. Markets in Juba and other towns see soaring prices for staple foods and are running out of key commodities; staple food stocks are projected to deplete within the first quarter of 2015. Further challenges include abandonment and looting of livelihood assets, disrupted agricultural cycles, constraints to aid access, collapse of local markets and disruption of commodity supply corridors.
FAO and partners' efforts in humanitarian assistance have reduced the number of people in Crisis and Emergency Phases. However, adverse weather, insecurity and insufficient funding continue to hinder deliveries. FAO will continue to scale up its support to both respond to urgent needs triggered by the current crisis, as well as continue to protect livelihoods and uphold programmes in less-affected states.
As part of FAO's Emergency Livelihood Response Programme for 2015, in the worst-hit states (Central and Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei, Lakes, Unity and Upper Nile), the Organization is focusing on distributing emergency livelihood kits (including crop and nutrient-dense vegetable seeds and minimal-harm tools), while in calmer states (Northern and Western Bahr el-Ghazal, Warrap and Western Equatoria), FAO is concentrating on protecting and boosting food production by improving local availability of quality seed and planting materials and facilitating technology transfer through farmer field schools.
The risk of livestock disease outbreaks has been heightened by the conflict as the cold chain system for vaccine storage and distribution has broken down, and non-traditional livestock movements lead to the intermingling of vaccinated and unvaccinated herds. Unusual livestock movements and concentrations also risk worsening tensions between pastoral and farming communities, as well as raise concerns about increased cattle raiding.
FAO is distributing vaccines and veterinary supplies to enable rapid preventative vaccination campaigns, while equipping and retraining community animal health workers to provide basic, on-the-move health care to migrating herds. Distributions are ongoing and FAO is ensuring that conflict-affected populations have what they need to farm, fish and protect their livestock. Under the UN and partners' 2015 South Sudan Humanitarian Response Plan, FAO is appealing for USD 89.2 million to provide urgent assistance to about 2.8 million people.
FAO's response programme has been made possible thanks to the generous support from the Governments of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Norway, the Swiss Confederation, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, the Africa Solidarity Trust Fund, the European Union, the UN's Common Humanitarian Fund and additional allocations of unearmarked funding by FAO.

A 26-year old orthodox woman obtained a court ruling for a divorce from her husband after proving he was married to another woman.
A 26-year old Coptic Orthodox woman has obtained a court ruling for a divorce after proving that her husband was married to another woman. Al-Maydān had previously published this woman's story before she obtained the court ruling, but the question now remaining is: what is to become of the wife?
In answering this question, Father Indrāwus 'Azīz said that once the husband decided to marry another woman while he already having a wife, the first marriage contract became null and void. According to Christianity, the second marriage is considered 'adultery' which allows the first wife to get divorced.
He also said that the victimized wife should resort to the patriarchy to obtain the permission to remarry. Archpriest Indrāwus 'Azīz offered to perform a re-marriage ceremony to the wife based on the divorce verdict she received which complies with the Orthodox beliefs.
Father Indrāwus 'Azīz further stressed that it is important to find suitable grooms in order to protect other wives. He offered to search for other husbands of other similar divorced wives in order to save these women from following or acting upon forbidden immoral desires.

CSU Fundraising off to Strong Start in 2014
May 9, 2014
Bolstered by notable gifts at Sonoma and Northridge, California State University fundraising efforts are off to a strong start in 2014.
In January, Sonoma State announced a $1 million personal gift from Gary Heck, president and owner of Korbel on behalf of Korbel to seed the renovation of the former University Commons building to house the university's Wine Business Institute.
"The wine industry needs leaders with solid business skills and a deep knowledge of the industry if we are all to be successful. The Wine Business Institute has delivered on this for more than 15 years and this building is the next step. It will provide a visible home that will be a place of learning and gathering for everyone: students, faculty, industry professionals, and not just from our own area but from around the world," said Heck.
More recently, CSUN announced a $10 million cash gift commitment from alumnus David Nazarian who is leading a $25 million fundraising drive for the university. In recognition of his gift, the CSU Board of Trustees announced the approval of CSUN naming its college of business, the David Nazarian College of Business and Economics at their March board meeting.
"While investing in companies can change lives and improve our economy, nothing is more impactful and important than access to quality education and mentoring. That is why I consider this to be the most significant investment of my career," Nazarian said. "I'm encouraging my business associates, friends, family and anyone who wants to positively impact the lives of talented young people in our region to join me in supporting CSUN and the amazing work being done there."
2012-13 marked a banner year for the CSU as the 23 campuses and Chancellor's Office garnered $338 million in gift commitments. The CSU's philanthropic efforts raise funds for scholarships, research, public service and additional university priorities. Funds raised go to support the educational mission of the university and provide a tremendous return on investment. For every $1 invested in fundraising, the CSU sees a return of $6.30, almost $1 greater than the national average return for master's universities.
While fundraising is a critical endeavor that results in additional resources for the university, it cannot replace revenue lost to state funding cuts. The great majority of donations are targeted to particular interests. In 2012-13, 96 percent of all charitable gifts were designated to specific interests identified by the donor. While that leaves only a small portion of the funding to be directed for the university's most pressing needs, gifts do have a direct impact on students.
One example of many is the CSU Trustees Award for Outstanding Achievement – a systemwide representation of gift giving and its immediate benefit to students.
Each year, the California State University honors 23 students who have each demonstrated superior academic performance, personal accomplishments, community service and financial need – with the CSU Trustees' Award for Outstanding Achievement. The CSU Trustees' Awards are among the highest student distinctions within the university and are accompanied by scholarships of $3,000 to $10,000.

In 2012-13, Sacramento State awarded 795 privately-funded scholarships totaling $937,486. In this same period, the number of donors to annual scholarships increased nearly 40 percent. Additionally, 95 percent of the University Foundation's endowment holdings are earmarked for scholarships.

2 arrested in major grow house bust in west Las Vegas
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- Las Vegas police busted a marijuana grow house Wednesday night near West Desert Inn and South Fort Apache roads in southwest Las Vegas.
Narcotics detectives served a warrant on the house in the 3300 block of Trickling Stream Circle at about 5:30 p.m. after receiving complaints from neighbors about a smell coming from the residence.
Two people, a man and a woman in their 40s, were arrested as they attempted to leave the residence but Las Vegas police have not said what the charges the pair may face.
A decontamination team and a robot had to be sent into the house after officers encountered an irritant that caused coughing and breathing problems.
The irritant was determined not to be chemical or biological and officers were able to continue.
Once inside, officers found about 1,000 plants in the house in the 3,500-square-foot home.
According to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, no neighbors were in danger and the two officers that went into the home and encountered the irritant did not suffer any lingering effects.
A lieutenant with LVMPD said it was one of the most extensive grow houses that he has ever seen.
This was LVMPD's first grow house bust of 2013.

The rain clouds lifted and the sun came out just in time for Wonder Woman Day III in Flemington, NJ this past Sunday. I got to put my Zatanna costume to good use for a good cause. Over $4,000 was raised for SAFE in Hunterdon!
The event took place at Comic Fusion and resident Wonder Woman Beth welcomed me with open arms. We really could not have asked for a more gorgeous day. Neil Vokes and Chris Muller sketched away while visitors, including myself, perused the fantastic array of art up for auction. There was a little something for everyone.
It was really fun just sitting outside with the other costumers. Beth and Spider-Man-Evan were waving to people as they walked and drove by. We started taking pictures almost immediately and even managed to convince this real hero to get in a few with us. A photographer took us aside for a while to take some more posed shots, hopefully he'll send them along so I can share those as well.
Everyone was so nice it was hard to leave! I was able to take home two auction items and another wonderful sketch, which I'll share with you all tomorrow. I also apparently cleaned up on the raffles but I haven't picked those items up yet. You can check out more pictures at Myspace or my Facebook fan page. Thanks to everyone at Comic Fusion, the people from SAFE and all those who attended and donated. I will definitely be seeing you next year!

Webb Jets to NYC to Meet Another War Criminal
12:09 PM, Sep 28, 2009 • By MICHAEL GOLDFARB
What is it about the Burmese junta that Jim Webb just can't get enough? After traveling to Burma to meet with the junta's top brass in August, he ran over to the Burmese embassy in Washington last weekend to meet with Nyan Win, the junta's foreign minister whom Webb helped secure a visa for a jaunt to the nation's capital (the criminals that run the junta typically aren't allowed any further from the UN than Qaddafi or A'jad or other tyrants). Now we get word from Webb's office that he's jetting up to New York today to meet with the junta's Prime Minister Thein Sein. From the press release:
"I appreciate [United Nations Under-Secretary-General Ambassador Joseph Verner] Reed's initiative in arranging this meeting, and I look forward to continuing the dialogue with Prime Minister Tein Shein that was begun last month," said Webb, who similarly met with Burmese foreign minister Nyan Win last weekend to discuss U.S.-Burma relations....
You know who Webb won't be meeting with: members of Burma's democratic opposition. They aren't so enamored of Webb's work as the self-appointed junta spokesman in the United States. Webb's "efforts have been damaging to our democracy movement" wrote one opposition leader on the Post op-ed page. Another accused Webb of trying to "pressure my country's democracy movement into giving up economic sanctions--the most important tool in our struggle for freedom."
Meanwhile, the Washington Post has an editorial today that does not argue against engagement, but implicitly rebukes the kind of engagement in which Webb has become so deeply engaged. Webb has been calling for Burma's opposition to participate in next year's elections and for the U.S. to ease sanctions. The editors at the Post "hope that discussions lead to tangible progress, in which case the United States might begin to consider easing sanctions," but they ask, "what if they lead to no change in the regime's behavior or in its plan to stage phony elections in 2010 that only entrench military rule?"
Webb doesn't seem to care--he wants Suu Kyi to "fully participate in that country's elections," despite the fact that they will entrench military rule. If Webb were even remotely interested in the welfare of the millions who face routine violence, rape, and murder at the hands of the junta, he would be raising the profile of Burma's democratic opposition. Instead he is conferring legitimacy on the junta with what seem now to be weekly meetings with top Burmese officials who for decades have been persona non grata in the United States. And what is Webb getting in return?

Posted by Matt Norlander
We're debuting a new weekly feature today. The title I'm not so nuts about (it won over "Rivaling Résumés"), but the objective should be pretty fun. Call it a twist on bubble watching, only it's not just that. Every Tuesday I'll be taking teams and stacking their ledgers against each other. Sometimes it will be to debate and determine at-large inclusion into The Tournament; sometimes it will be about seeding. To start, we'll take two pairs this Tuesday, looking at two teams firmly on the bubble, and two more you might be surprised are closer in seeding than expected at first glance.
Battle on the bubble: Duquesne vs. Oklahoma State
Duquesne has come out of nowhere, streaking with an eight-game winning streak, to be tied atop the Atlantic 10 with Xavier (both are 5-0). It's the best start for this program in decades, so why not give them the inaugural treatment with this feature? The Dukes have a 36 ranking in KenPom world and 46 in the Sagarin universe (both objective, beautiful places to live, despite a lack of sand and constantly warm weather). Full disclaimer: I have not seen Duquesne play yet this season. There's a strong chance you're in my company.
With that out of the way, let's look at what the team's accomplished. The losses are all OK, save for the road one at Robert Morris; that did come in the Dukes' second game of the season, the first one against a D-I opponent. As we move further and further away from the RMU loss, its meaning does diminish. Pittsburgh, Penn State, West Virginia and George Mason (two OTs) are the others who've picked off the Dukes. Not embarrassing whatsoever, considering George Mason is a top-40 KenPom team. Win-wise, home vs. Temple on Jan. 15 is the only thing to hang outside the window for the Dukes.
Okie State is 14-5 and has a 73 KenPom ranking, 58 in Sagarin. Same number of losses, but the opponents are a little worse, collectively, and the teams who did fell OSU are worsening the Pokes' reputation by the day. Losing to Texas A&M is fine and dandy, and even the Virginia Tech loss on Nov. 26 has improved with age. But Baylor, Colorado and Gonzaga are tailspinning and pulling Oklahoma State into the spiral with them.
Missouri State, who is atop the Missouri Valley, and Kansas State, those are the two wins Travis Ford's team can be proud about right now. A win against Texas tomorrow would easily catapult Oklahoma State past Duquesne.
The pick: Oklahoma State, but it's way close. The strength-of-schedule probably is what does it (OSU: 59; Duquesne: 127). The good news for Duquesne is the still-undefeated conference record and the fact it turns teams over at a higher rate than anyone else in the country. Chances are this team won't be vaporizing its chances any time soon. Plus, if the Dukes finish with two losses, maybe three, in the A10, this won't be a debate.
Who should be seeded higher: Georgia vs. Marquette
Both teams are safely in the field as of now, by my count. What's intriguing about this pairing is how familiar you likely are with one team compared to the other. Marquette's on national television with regularity; Georgia is not. Georgia hasn't been for some time. Now, the Bulldogs get a game tonight on ESPN against helter-skelter Florida, and if they win, we could be looking at a 7-seed for them. Marquette gets a home game against Connecticut, which, as Andy Glockner notes this week, is now 1-seed-worthy.
So what types of seeds are we looking at for these teams? As of this moment:
Georgia, 9-seed. Wins over Colorado and UAB, two teams that will likely be irrelevant by late February, are paying off right now in bubble-watch ways. (This field is so damn weak.) The Bulldogs have the 89th-toughest schedule, according to Sagarin, which doesn't matchup to Marquette's No. 31. However, the Golden Eagles are a benefactor of the Big East. Georgia lost in double-OT to Notre Dame, looking better by proxy after what the Irish did last night. But let's get right to it: beating Kentucky Jan. 8 is what gives Mark Fox's team a lift right now. The sweep over the Mississippi schools is another trump card, but UK is the primary scalp on Georgia's shoulder.
Marquette, 11-seed. The Eagles are below .500 in close games again, with a 2-6 record in tilts decided by five points or less. Does this sort of information get factored into seeding? It should. Marquette is 2-6 against the Sagarin top 50 and did zip outside the conference. Not one good win, unfortunately. That puts them below the dreaded 8/9 game in this year's field as of now. Beating Notre Dame, since Georgia didn't, is why I lined these two teams up. Will that win eventually look better than Georgia's over Kentucky? Will be interesting to see, because the Big East is so deep, and UK will probably stay atop the SEC, per usual, bloating the significant of Georgia's win. Buzz Williams' team needs to win close ones, especially on the road, to climb up the seeding ladder.Photos: AP

It is with a heavy heart that I inform our readership that Robert F. Chew, the actor who blessed The Wire fans with the endlessly quotable and imitable Prop Joe, has died of heart failure at the age of 52.
Distasteful wordplay and line-dropping aside. Chew's amazingly restrained performance as Prop Joe in the HBO inner-city epic serves as a touchpoint of the brilliance of the program, widely regarded as one of television's best.
While Robert Chew's legacy includes turns in David Simon productions Homicide, The Corner, and The Wire, perhaps his greatest work was his effort after achieving success, mentoring Baltimore's Arean Players, a troupe of child and young adult actors.
No less than David Simon has high praise for Chew, offering:
"He could have gone to New York or Los Angeles and commanded a lot more work, but he loved the city as his home and chose to remain here working. He understood so much about his craft that it was no surprise at all that we would go to him to coach our young actors in season four. He was the conduit through which they internalized their remarkable performances."
With that quote, we learn that not only was Robert Chew responsible for his own great performance on the show, but also in eliciting the moving performances.
While he was known for his character, I'm sure he was known to many other people as something more. Rest in peace, Prop Joe, you cadaverous motherfucker.
Consider posting a comment.

Accounting for Financial Instruments
- Imposes on one entity a contractual obligation either:
- To deliver cash or another financial instrument to a second entity
- To exchange other financial instruments on potentially unfavorable terms with the second entity.
- Conveys to that second entity a contractual right either:
- To receive cash or another financial instrument from the first entity
- To exchange other financial instruments on potentially favorable terms with the first entity.
Since 2005, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) have been working together to improve and simplify reporting for financial instruments. The main objective, then and now, has been to provide financial statement users with a more timely and representative depiction of a company, institution, or nonpublic not-for-profit organization's involvement in financial instruments, while reducing the complexity in accounting for those instruments.
Over time, the FASB and the IASB took different approaches to various aspects of the accounting for financial instruments. In 2009, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which provides guidance on classification and measurement of financial assets. Meanwhile, in May 2010, the FASB issued its proposed Accounting Standards Update, Accounting for Financial Instruments and Revisions to the Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The feedback received on that Exposure Draft caused the FASB to rethink its original proposals on these issues, and to approach the project in three separate phases:
- Impairment
- Classification and Measurement
- Hedging
The global financial crisis of 2008 highlighted the need for more timely financial reporting of credit losses on loans and other financial instruments held by banks, lending institutions, and public and private organizations. U.S. GAAP currently accounts for credit impairment using an "incurred loss" model. Because the existing impairment model delays recognition of the credit loss until the loss is probable (or has been incurred), many have argued that the model fails to alert investors to expected credit losses in a timely manner. Some have recommended that standard setters explore alternatives to the incurred loss model that would use more forward-looking information.
In December 2012, the FASB issued its proposed Accounting Standards Update which sets forth a "current expected credit loss" (CECL) model. This proposed model would replace the multiple impairment models that currently exist for debt instruments in U.S. GAAP. The CECL model uses a single "expected credit loss" measurement objective for the allowance for credit loss. Under this model, the allowance for expected credit losses would reflect management's current estimate of the contractual cash flows that the company does not expect to collect, based on its assessment of credit risk as of the reporting date. The FASB has completed its major decisions in this area, and expects to issue a final standard during the second half of 2015.
Continue to Full Project Information
As part of its financial instruments project, the FASB also is working to improve how financial instruments are classified and measured. This includes simplifying the multitude of classification methods currently in use.
In February of 2013, the FASB proposed improvements to the classification and measurement guidance of financial instruments. Its proposal included a two-step test to classify and measure financial assets, similar to the two-step test utilized in the IFRS 9, as amended by the IASB's exposure draft ED/2012/4 Classification and Measurement: Limited Amendments to IFRS 9 (Proposed amendments to IFRS 9 (2010).
Based on feedback received from U.S. stakeholders on its proposed model, the FASB determined that the two-step test would not alleviate the complexity that currently exists in GAAP, nor would it represent an improvement to the current model. The FASB instead is focused on targeted amendments to current GAAP to improve financial reporting in this area.
Continue to Full Project Information
Many companies use derivative financial instruments to hedge their exposure to certain risks. Today, hedge accounting is an elective approach that minimizes the accounting volatility created when derivatives, which are otherwise accounted for at fair value through net income, are used to hedge revenue or expenses that are not yet recognized at all (e.g., forecasted sales or purchases) or to hedge assets or liabilities that are not measured at fair value through net income (e.g., inventory or debt). Qualifying criteria must be met in order to apply hedge accounting.
Both the IASB and the FASB have proposed changes to their respective hedge accounting models to address the complexity and improve the understandability of the current financial reporting of hedging activities. The FASB's proposals were contained in its 2010 Exposure Draft. Now that the FASB has concluded its major decisions on impairment and classification and measurement of financial instruments, it has resumed deliberations on hedging. Decision-making meetings are expected to occur during the second half of 2015.

How to survive an avalanche
WILLAMETTE PASS, Ore. - It's a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the snow looks good.
But the next thing you know, you're in the middle of a dangerous situation.
"Scary. I mean it's big and it's fast. You don't realize how fast things are going to happen," said Ski Patroller and Avalanche Adviser John Fischer.
Accidents happen all too often.
"You're buried under six feet of snow by a 50 foot slide, it's just as as if you're buried under 6 feet of snow by a 5,000 foot slide."
According to the Northwest Avalanche Center, 8 people have been killed so far this year in the U.S. from avalanches.
The survival rate for avalanches is slim.
"Half an hour, 50 percent if you're buried," said Fischer. "After half an hour, half the people are dead."
According to Fischer, what kills most people isn't just the fall.
"What kills the people under the snow is suffocation."
So what can you do to save yourself in an avalanche?
Fischer says if you find yourself tumbling down the hill, try and kick off your skis and make a swimming motion with your arms.
"If you hear people looking for you, make a noise, as you're coming to a stop. If you know which way is up, try and get something up, try and get a hand up."
If you can make a dig an air pocket around your mouth to breath.
It's also important to carry tools with you, like a transceiver, a tool that can help people in your party find you if you're stuck.
"I can switch this to search mode, now it tells me how far away, 2.5 meters, and the direction that person is," said Fischer.
The moments after someone is caught in an avalanche are the most critical for survival.
"So what that means of course is the only people who are going to help you, are the people in your party," said Fischer.
But he says the best way to survive an avalanche is to avoid the areas where they happen.
"Just be more careful. if you never ski anything over 25 degrees, you'll virtually have nothing to worry about."
It's important to note that most avalanches occur in back country areas that are not maintained by ski patrol.

I guess I expect European cars to be a little more upscale than Japanese or American cars. No, VW's do not need power folding mirrors but I think they should feel upmarket to retain that European feel.

Clink261London, England
We started our 19 day backpacking adventure here and then came back for the last 2. The staff was super and the breakfast was more than enough and good. We left our luggage in the store room with no worries or issues. Even though we left our things in our 10 person dorm, nothing was missing. Overall a great place to stay, close to Kings Cross Station and the Metro. Will stay here again when we come back to the UK>
Orsa Maggiore for Women OnlyRome, Italy
I really liked that we were close to literally everything in the city. We strolled Roma and we able to see most all the main attractions in one day. We were 3 blocks from the Vatican and 20 minutes walk to the Collisuem. The piazza down the street has a great variety of resturants and street vendors. The hostel was clean and relaxing. We used the kitchen and made a few meals to save money. Would have been nice to have an oven, but the microwave was ok. I would difinetly stay hera again.
Aloha HostelParis, France
The light in the shower hung by just an exposed wire. Bathrooms for us was outside like an outhouse only half the size. Night staff was nice enough to point out that I wasn't in a 3 star hotel and that all hostels are like this. I have stayed in hostels in several countries now and would never recommend this one to anyone. You should consider looking into this yourself to see if you wish to still recommend this on your site.

Landscape Glass Uses
Gone are the days of bark mulch, stone groundcover, and earth tone colored rocks. From dry riverbeds and fountain accents, to flagstone fillers and rock gardens, the rainbow of colors available in glass is unprecedented in landscaping applications. Because it's tumbled, the glass won't cut. Because it's 100% recycled, the glass is environmentally friendly. And because it's colorful, the glass will allow your landscape project to take on a striking life of its own.
Terrazzo Glass Uses
Never before have such vibrant colors been available to designers of terrazzo flooring. Recycled glass chips are a modern addition to an ancient flooring technique dating back to Michelangelo and the Renaissance. The unique affect of glass can transform an environmentally sustainable floor into a stunning work of art and can even increase the durability of a flooring installation. As with traditional terrazzo marble, the smaller size glass chips provide a traditional look while larger size chips provide a bolder, more aggressive appearance.
Countertop Uses
Artisan crafted concrete countertops have grown in popularity over the years, providing customers the ability to customize the dimension, shape, color, and texture of their countertop surfaces. Recycled glass aggregates have been an equally popular additive to recent designs by adding color, variety and, most significantly, a third dimension—depth. Whether it's a do-it-yourself vanity or a manufactured full-size slab, glass can bring out the shine in any countertop concept.
Aquarium Uses
Tumbled glass chips are an exciting substitute for ordinary aquarium gravel. Its translucence lends itself to under lighting and the mixed colors provide beautiful underwater hues. Furthermore, because the glass remains motionless, it allows beneficial bacteria to grow within the glass chips in essentially the same way as traditional aquarium gravels. Spoiled fish are happy fish…spice up your aquarium's display appeal and style with glass.
Fire Pit Glass Uses
In an era of extreme home makeovers, nothing revitalizes old, dingy fireplaces and outdoor fire pits like glass. Available in a customizable array of colors, it is the ideal replacement for outdated lava rock and ceramic logs, burning with natural gas cleanly and consistently well below its softening point. Custom homes, restaurants, and world-class resorts have all utilized glass in their fireplaces and fire pits. And now you, too, can achieve this stunning and intriguing look.
Swimming Pool Uses
One of the many limitations of traditional plaster materials in swimming pools is lack of sparkle and depth. This is precisely where glass works its magic. Whether in a terrazzo-like or exposed aggregate finish, faceted glass chips reflect and illuminate sunlight, adding an entirely unique dimension to any swimming pool. Almost any combination of colors can be incorporated either alone or in combination with traditional pebbles or quartz. And because glass pebbles don't react with harsh swimming pool chemicals, it may actually extend the life of your pool.
Glass Color
Glass is colorful. It's vibrant, shiny, translucent, and brilliant. Cobalt Blue, Cranberry, Crystal Turquoise, Moss Green, Pink Champagne, Amber. These colors never fade—they aren't affected by sunlight, by UV rays, by good weather or bad. The color is literally baked into the glass. And because of its naturally faceted surface, glass is able to add a unique spectrum of light and color to any project. With more than 35 standard colors and an unlimited quantity of custom colors available, there simply is no limit to what you can do with glass.
