GASB Proposes Elevating Implementation Guide
May 2, 2014
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued an Exposure Draft, "The Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles for State and Local Governments," that would reduce the GAAP hierarchy from four categories to two. The hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) comprises guidance that state and local governments in the United States follow when preparing financial statements. The first category (level a) would be GASB's accounting standards and the second (level b) would be Technical Bulletins, Implementation Guides and AICPA guidance cleared by the board.
GASB also issued an accompanying proposed implementation guide, "Implementation Guide No. 20xx-1," (Proposed Guide) which combines all implementation guidance to date. Due to major proposed changes in the authoritative level of implementation guidance, the Exposure Draft and proposed implementation guide will be exposed for public comment through December 31, 2014. Additionally, the Proposed Guide that accompanies the Exposure Draft contains certain changes from the existing Comprehensive Implementation Guide (CIG), which can be found in Appendix C.
GASB's first CIG was released in 2003. With the continuing release of GASB accounting standards, the initial CIG combined and eliminated various questions and answers from topical standalone implementation guides that GASB had been releasing since 1991. Since 2003 the staff and a committee composed of GASB constituents have been updating the CIG based on known ambiguities and constituent questions submitted for literature clarification. Although all new releases of the CIG are cleared by the board, lack of constituent due process has kept the CIG's level of authoritative significance in the GAAP Hierarchy to level d (the lowest of four authoritative levels in the GAAP hierarchy).
In April 2011, the addition of pre-agenda research activities related to a project to reexamine the GAAP hierarchy was approved and the project was added by the board to its current agenda in April 2012. The Exposure Draft and accompanying Proposed Guide reflect the board's belief that GASB Implementation Guides should be placed in category (b) of the GAAP hierarchy because they play a significant role in the governmental financial reporting environment and provide a mechanism through which to promote consistent application of GASB statements.

Publisher's Description
Author Bio
Ive read too many articles that open with an identical list of the many issues and fears pressing down on us today. Its depressing. Its repetitive. And most of us are pretty well aware of the crises that are taking place in our world. CNN is at our fingertips. So its worth noting that Wheres Your Jesus Now? is not depressing, and its not by any means repetitive.
Based on the ultimate concept that weve taken our eyes off Jesus and glued them on fear, Zacharias uses personal experiences, history, and contemporary culture to emphasize her points. Each chapter reads more like a personal essay and stands almost entirely complete on its own, full of color, life lessons, and punch. And although some readers might find themselves uncomfortable with Zachariass in-your-face style, I found her voice to be refreshing and bold.
Zacharias doesnt claim to be a theologian. In fact, Im sure that there will be some who will disagree with her point of view as expressed in the book. But thats okay, because thats her point, too. She doesnt give a bulleted list of solutions or pretend to have the ultimate answer. I believe Zacharias intended this book to point us back to Jesus and away from fear, away from the angry dad box we put God in and back to the Lord who loves us and never leaves. As Matthew 28:20 puts it, Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Lauren Richwine, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com

I read through all 67 reviews and now I really understand that this is divided into 3 sections, upper body, lower body and abs, and that there are 3 levels you can follow when doing the exercises, but I didn't see one single review describing the exercises that are being done.
Is there a lot a floor work? Does it use any weights? What kind of exercises are required here? I am thinking about buying it for someone who now gets together with friends to do chair exercises in an area that I would be very uncomfortable having these elderly women get down on the floor for exercises, as they'd all have to buy yoga mats, and that would increase their risks of falling. For most reviews of exercise DVD's someone has gone through and described the type of moves and what is required, but not here. If someone could please write a review with the description of the types of exercises and whether this would be appropriate for elderly people who really shouldn't be getting down on the floor, that would be wonderful. Thanks.

Previous studies that have looked at the connection between sleep and metabolism have determined that blood sugar goes up after a night of poor sleep because the body's muscles become less sensitive to the hormone insulin. Insulin resistance leads to myriad problems in the body, including diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, heart disease, and cancer.
The new study found that insulin resistance isn't the only problem caused by short sleep, however.
Too little sleep appears to prevent the pancreas from making enough insulin to meet the body's energy demands.
"The pancreas is tired," Buxton says, and isn't "responding adequately."
Why that happens, he says, is still a mystery.
"There's plenty of insulin packaged and ready to go. Somehow it's either not sensing the actual glucose level, or not responding with an adequate or typical response," he tells WebMD.
The good news is that the metabolic disruptions reversed after people in the study were once again allowed to get plenty of sleep on a regular schedule.
The study is some of the strongest evidence to date that short and disrupted sleep is bad for the body's metabolism.
Other studies, which have been shorter or based on more indirect evidence, have shown, for example, that children and adults who sleep less than about six hours a night are more likely to be overweight and have diabetes than people who sleep more than that.
"It's not that it's new information. It's that it provides a lot more information about the combined and potential long-term health effects" of sleep disruption and deprivation, says Charles Bae, MD, a neurologist at Cleveland Clinic in Ohio.
Bae is an expert on sleep disorders, but he was not involved in the research.
Advice for the Tired and Overworked: Don't Sacrifice Sleep
"What I tell my patients is to make sleep a priority," Bae says. "For everybody -- and I'm at fault, too -- sleep is the easiest, quickest thing to either get rid of or cut into because we're all so busy."
"On top of that, if you have to work at different hours, and in this economy you take what you can get, that also means you're less likely to get sleep during the day. Especially if you have demands on your time from family and friends," Bae says.

I was having battery problems so I installed a new battery in thee vehicle. I later realized that the alternator was the problem, so I replace the alternator. Upon starting the vehicle, everything worked fine aside from some rather loud squealing coming from the engine. Assuming it was the drivebelt, I tightened it, and now the engine refuses to even try to start. Battery is brand new and working fine, there are no warning lights on, but all electrical systems are working fine.
My engine won't start, makes no noises or effort to start. on 1991 Toyota Corolla

Expiration Date:?Jan 2020
Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.
Shipping Weight:?0.03 lbs (0.01 kg)
Shipping Weight
The Shipping Weight includes the product, protective packaging material and the actual shipping box. In addition, the Shipping Weight may be adjusted for the Dimensional Weight (e.g. length, width & height) of a package. It is important to note that certain types of products (e.g. glass containers, liquids, fragile, refrigerated or ice packed) will often require protective packaging material. As such, these products will reflect a higher Shipping Weight compared to the unprotected product.

Augmented reality (AR) is coming, not for flash or fashion (sorry Google Glass), but because of the overload of big data bombarding the human mind, in work and in our lives.
We are about to reach a tipping point in the evolution of information technology, sparked by the intersection of big data and the natural capacity of the human mind and body to think, and accomplish our life's tasks.
Since 1995, data is being produced, processed, and aggregated at such volumes that we are now reaching diminishing returns in our worker's ability to actually do something with it. The average company doubles its data every year but us humans have not doubled our cognitive and critical thinking capacities at the same rate, nor have we learned to type, text, write, or tweet exponential paces either. The data wave is above our head and we can barely breathe.
We are admittedly faster with technology than we were ten years ago, but not fast enough to maintain the current paradigm of a device-centric world where the human factors have been left behind. In general are still having to work for technology, to adapt to it, reach for it, rather than have the technology work for us.
The principal reason we are lagging in data actionability is because the bulk of data is entered, generated, processed, and displayed on the machines' terms, not ours'. Look at us. We reach for technology, we divert for it; we even put ourselves in harm's way for it. We have had to walk, work, and drive in dangerous "heads down" ways, looking for that email, that direction, that map and link. The data we need to be productive is being delivered & captured in technology's terms not humans'. The machines – and the big data they move - are stunting us because we have not figured out how to make the machines work for us, adapt to us, in hands free and more natural ways.
So we are at that tipping point in 2013. Big data - through its sheer volume - will actually be the trigger that drives a massive adoption to Augmented Reality, where the display of data and the capture of content are delivered in more natural and hands free methods. This human liberation will happen not because of any fashion trend nor consumer whim. The shift will happen because American productivity in the workforce will require it.
In fact, the next wave of American productivity requires a world of more wearable technology, data by human design, which means a smarter way to present data and content onto our physical world, in full context of where we are and what we are doing. In that world of wearable technology, context is king, which then finally arms the American worker with the right information, in the right amount, at the right time - all without having to physically deviate so much to get it.
Acknowledging companies like APX-Labs in Herndon, VA, the "business of hands-free" is moving right along to bring smart glasses applications to the people that need them most: the information employees of 2013 who actually do things with their hands (nurses, doctors, soldiers, manufacturers, and even journalists).
Looking ahead, the companies that quickly bring smart glasses into the hands-free functions of their more mobile employees will make the vital data flows of their employees more actionable, more efficient, and by default, more human. And who wouldn't want to experience that? Time to put the Big Mind on the same cycle as Big Data, but on the minds' terms.
SaaS companies can greatly expand revenue potential by pushing beyond their own borders. The challenge is how to do this without degrading service quality. In his session at 18th Cloud Expo, Adam Rogers, Managing Director at Anexia, discussed how IaaS providers with a global presence and both virtual and dedicated infrastructure can help companies expand their service footprint with low "go-to-market" costs.

When it comes to cloud computing, the ability to turn massive amounts of compute cores on and off on demand sounds attractive to IT staff, who need to manage peaks and valleys in user activity. With cloud bursting, the majority of the data can stay on premises while tapping into compute from public cloud providers, reducing risk and minimizing need to move large files.

The cloud market growth today is largely in public clouds.

Panel visits Vt. wind projectsFebruary 15,2013SHEFFIELD Members of the Vermont Governors Energy Siting Policy Commission have visited two wind projects as part of a statewide tour of energy production facilities.
The tour Tuesday brought commission members to the top of the ridgeline in Sheffield where First Wind of Boston operates 16 industrial wind turbines. The commission also toured the site of wind project in Lowell.
Some legislators are seeking a three-year wind moratorium on large-scale wind projects. They want a more thorough environmental review of them.
Commission member Jan Eastman told the Caledonian-Record that the impacts and sizes of energy projects are among the major issues the commission is evaluating.

Fluvanna Review
17 May 2016
"These funds will protect vulnerable homes by reducing or even eliminating the effects of repeated flooding," wrote State Coordinator Dr. Jeff Stern in a press release from the Virginia Department of Emergency Management. "We partner with each locality to protect lives and property through these grants."
All work must be completed by September 15, 2017, according to a notice on the TJPDC website.
Of the four buildings involved, only one is taxed as a structure, indicating that the other three have been assigned no value by tax assessors, according to Fluvanna County Administrator Steve Nichols.
Public records indicate the Richard Harry family currently owns all of the impacted properties.
All four buildings are in a federally designated flood plain. As such, any substantial renovations or new structures added to the properties would have to meet federal flood plain requirements. The cost of meeting those requirements can be prohibitive.
"I'm not positive that the landowner is going to sell, and I am not positive they are going to sell for the price that we can offer - which is fair market value," said Nichols. "The landowner cannot rebuild those properties without meeting federal flood plain standards which is catastrophically expensive," he added.
Nichols described the properties as "eyesores, health hazards, and firetraps," and added that the vacant buildings could prove particularly attractive to children, who might be unaware of the dangers posed by compromised structures, and might be tempted to explore them.
Fluvanna County Sheriff Eric Hess agreed. "They are an attractive nuisance for kids," said Hess, referring to the four derelict properties. "If I were a property owner, I wouldn't want the liability," he said. "It is no different than owning a swimming pool – you can't just leave a house abandoned where any child can have access to it."
When asked if he believed that tearing down the four uninhabited buildings and creating green space would have an effect on crime in Columbia, Hess hesitated. "Until some other issues are dealt with in Columbia – it will help but it is not going to fix the problems," Hess replied. "The problems lie in some of the people who live there - but mostly in the people who come to visit the people who live there. It is the intersection of three counties," he explained, "and you get a lot of people who don't want to drive all the way to Charlottesville or they don't want to drive all the way to Short Pump; there aren't many places to go for some people, so they go to Columbia to hang out."

Developing with Performance Testing in Mind
A tester friend of mine recently came to me with a complaint that I think is fairly common in the testing community. He said, "Every time there is a new release of the software for us to test, we have to rework our testing scripts." I've heard this complaint throughout my career, not only in performance testing but in functional testing with automation tools as well.
This state of affairs arises from three fairly straightforward observations:
- Change is inevitable. Everything changes, and in no industry is this more apparent than software development. It makes no sense for testers to ask developers to stop changing the code, but it does make sense to encourage wise changes.
- Developers and testers don't always communicate well. The proverbial wall between developers and testers is still quite formidable. When developers throw a new version over the wall to be tested, too often they've given little thought to how it will be tested.
- All testing tools are not created equal. Some make it easier to identify and handle changes than others. If your testing tool is designed to handle change well, then your entire team is better positioned to embrace change rather than fear it.
Thinking Like a Tester
Most development organizations make a real effort to improve communication between developers and testers, but it's not always enough. Beyond encouraging developers to talk with testers, I ask them to take it a step further and think like testers.
I find that it's a good idea for developers to sit through some of the training that the test engineers complete. In my experience, the developers who do are more careful and avoid making arbitrary changes with little or no justification. They don't, for example, change the name of a field in a form simply because they don't agree with the name the initial developer gave it. When developers are aware of the kinds of changes that make a tester's job harder and what kinds of changes make it easier, then from an organizational standpoint the entire process is more productive.
An Analogy from the Early Days of Functional Testing
Some of the earliest automated functional testing tools for GUIs would simply record the location of the mouse pointer on the screen during tests, and then play back those mouse clicks to execute the test script. If a developer moved the location of a button on the screen, the script would break. Other tools would record the label on the button, so the button could be moved around the UI without breaking the script but changing the button text from "Submit" to "OK" would break the script. More advanced tools used the button's ID to identify it in the script so that the developer could change both the position and the label of the button without making the tester's job more difficult.
One key lesson here is that the choice of testing tool makes a big difference in the productivity of the testing team when the software under test changes, even in relatively trivial ways.
The other key lesson is that developer awareness of testing tools and procedures goes a long way in facilitating a smooth testing operation. I saw this firsthand during a training session I gave years back. While describing how button label changes affected testing, a developer who happened to be sitting in on the training sat upright when he finally understood why his colleagues in testing were so frustrated by many of his changes. He never knew why they objected so much to his changing a button label from "Clear" to "Reset". Going forward, that knowledge didn't stop the developer from making necessary changes. It did, however, make him pause when he made such changes to consider whether they were really necessary.
Performance Testing Tools That Make It Easy to Handle Change
In performance testing, we are not concerned with the location of buttons, but we're not immune to seemingly trivial changes.
For example, when a web form is submitted to the server, the form fields will be a series of name-value pairs. Changing the name of a form field, adding a field, or deleting a field can cause problems during performance testing. With a less capable testing tool, these problems can be hard to identify and diagnose, especially if there is poor communication between developers and testers.
File difference viewers (diff viewers) that enable the tester to compare multiple recordings against each other are particularly helpful in pinpointing the changed fields. When it's time to modify the script, an effective tool will enable you to add, delete, and update fields without programming. Just right-click and choose add, or simply drag-and-drop to update your load testing script.
Form fields are relatively easy to handle for load testers. Parameters that are session specific are more difficult. (These parameters change from session to session but stay the same for the duration of each user session). By default, the hard-coded session values are captured by a load testing tool in each script, and a test engineer needs to parameterize them to make the script usable for load testing. Double-clicking on a hard-coded value to make it a variable is easier than diving into the script code. Here again, tools that help automate the process can reduce test creation time from many hours to a few minutes.
When a new script is needed or maintenance is required on an existing script, tools that are easier to use can make the task orders of magnitude faster.
Overcoming the Fear of Change
I know of development teams that gradually became more and more afraid to change their software because of the difficulties that the changes introduced in testing and elsewhere in the process. Needless to say, this had a negative effect on their ability to deliver new features and fixes. A root of the problem, it turned out, was the testing tool that they were using, which made changes arduous and error-prone. Once they switched to a modern tool, the required script changes were easier to make. Performance testing times shrank from a week to less than a day and development was once again free to make long-needed changes. Agile development shops in particular depend on this ability to rapidly implement changes in testing scripts, and get the tests going in minutes or hours instead of days and weeks.
If your organization is starting to fear change, encourage your developers to think like testers and encourage your testers to use tools that make inevitable change easier to handle.
