That's right: We're having our first-ever book fine amnesty.
During the week of May 18-23, you can bring back any overdue materials, and we won't fine you at all.
Bring back damaged items, and we'll give you 50 percent off the replacement price. Or tell us you lost an item, and you'll get the same deal.
If you've lost your card, we won't charge you for a replacement during that week.
To accept the amnesty offer you have to come into the library in person.
We're doing this because we want to recover books and movies so they can go back into circulation. But, we also know that when people owe fines they stay away from the library and we want them to come back.
So, put that week on your calendar, and come back in.
In newsrooms across the world one of the most perilous temptations is to go with a story that's just too good -- or bad -- to be true.
You've got a good reporter, say, who comes up with a story about an 8-year-old heroine addict in your city. Wow, you think, this will knock people's socks off. You just want to have it be true, so you don't give the story the usual hard-boiled treatment. You let your guard down. And if you're the esteemed editors of the Washington Post circa 1980 you get the piece out big and bold on the front page and congratulate yourself for being oh-so-smart at hiring excellent reporters and editors.
And your people win the Pulitzer Prize!
But, out in the community people have been asking some tough questions. Like, from the cops: Tell us where to find this kid so we can intervene.
A reasonable request. Except your prize-winning staff can't remember how to find him.
And before long everyone, including you, has figured out that there is not and never was an 8-year-old addict.
Goodbye prizes. Goodbye reporter. Goodbye credibility.
Too bad to be true.
Now another episode: Rolling Stone has a story about behavior so bad it will turn the country's colleges inside out -- gang rape goes unpunished at the University of Virginia.
It's a story that can't stand on its own merit for even a week. Then this weekend RS finally retracts the whole thing and apologizes.
Wow. Wouldn't you think editors would eventually learn from these episodes?
Otherwise normal people deny climate change even in the face of overwhelming evidence. ISIS rebels have crossed the border into Texas from Mexico. Aliens landed in Roswell. The web is full of crazy stuff!
It's just that editors aren't supposed to have agendas, but of course they do.
If we didn't have volunteers, we'd be in deep trouble here at the library.
Unlike some libraries across the state -- even small ones like ours -- where volunteers are restricted to doing the most mundane and simple tasks, we have folks doing a wide variety of jobs.
Some catalolg materials, some decomission materials, some prepare items for shelving. And others, of course, staff the front circulation desk, providing great customer service.
Last year, our volunteers donated a total of 6,270 hours of their time.
If we had paid them just minimum wage, that value would have been $4,545.
But their time was universally worth much more than the minimum.
Thanks to all of those who love the library, especially those who give of their time and talents.
Poor Parade magazine is a mere shadow of its once proud self.
I don't even look for it in my Sunday American-Statesman anymore. For a long time, it's had nothing in it I want to read.
Parade has been a victim of the society-wide shift away from print to other media. Years ago, when it was at its peak in popularity, Parade salesmen liked to think they alone drove Sunday newspaper sales. Publishers had to pay Parade's going rate to insert their products into the Sunday editions.
Nowadays, I understand that Parade pays publishers to insert the little magazine. And that's probably the way it always should have been.
At one time, Parade had a competitor: USA Weekend, published by Gannett. But, Gannett closed out product last year.
Parade's days are numbered. It's become irrelevant, kind of a joke.
That's too bad. With some enlightened editing and promotion, it might have made the leap into this digital age.
A friend sent me an e-mail with a screen shot from a Facebook posting.
The item posted was a newspaper clipping from the Amarillo newspaper, a story I wrote when I was first hired by the Daily News and Globe Times and was written in 1966 or 1967.
The story was about an Amarillo high-school student tradition: "dragging Polk," or the habit of bored teenagers driving up and down the city's main street, out to be seen and heard and sometimes to do a little between-the-stop-lights drag racing.
I don't know who found that article, but it was the only one I'm aware of that actually chronicled this particular activity, thus preserving a fun and interesting memory for those hundreds and hundreds of kids who were involved in the ritual.
It's not crucial that this story was saved somewhere. It's just nice.
But, there are stories out of Amarillo and everywhere else that are, in fact, crucial to our understanding of history. And those we absolutely need to preserve in some accessible form.
The operative word there is "accessible."
Library Journal has an article this morning about how the State Historical Society of Iowa, once tasked with microfilming that state's major newspapers, has been out of money since 2009 to pursue that goal. Between 1,600 and 1,700 bundles of newspapers are lying around waiting to be processed. It will take $255,000 to microfilm them.
What a shame.
But, then, the University of North Texas newspaper preservation project is woefully behind on its pursuit. And, that's a shame, too.
At UNT, the newspapers that are archived are available on the Internet. Double shame, shame on Iowa, though, for going to microfilm. I say that because the last two newspapers I worked at had microfilm readers that DID NOT WORK, and they had no plans to replace them.

It is the key to the ignition that propels us forward and fuels our ambition to advance. But if you've never been behind its wheel, you would need to proceed with caution, for if you don't know where you're going while being "driven" by where you've been, it can lead you into a state of mind called ["CrAzY"].
*** *** *** *** *** ***
When last I detoured off the road of Heather Hardy (for the original article click here), she was racing toward a UBF International Super Bantamweight title fight against Ana Laura Gomez on 11/9/2013. She wrecked her in 2 rounds.
Fast >>>Forward to 2014.
A few weeks ago she ran into Christina Fuentes at the Roseland Ballroom here in New York City, getting a suspenseful and intense SD win after 8 rounds. Christina proved to be a pretty difficult roadblock to get around, but "The Heat" turned it up and prevailed.
Not everyone it turns out was impressed, and in her rear-view mirror were sirens. Besides, what good is any good sequel without a good villain?
"She's been running her f*cking mouth and talking sh*t, but I'll fight her ass anytime she's ready," fired 2-time badass Hardy, referring to the loud noise coming from fighter Shelly Vincent.
"Lou [DiBella] has tried to contact her and her people about a fight for the longest time. I would love the chance to beat her ass."
You uh, you heard that Shelly?
*** *** *** *** *** ***
On this particular Monday morning, its rather "brick" outside for early March. "Brick" is an expression we northerners use to describe disgustingly cold weather. I arrive at the legendary Gleason's Gym in Brooklyn and caught a glimpse of Heather throwing a few at trainer Devon Cormack.
To hear him tell it, she couldn't do anything right, I even think he had a problem with the way she was breathing.
"C'mon, I need you to step into the punch!" demanded Cormack. "You don't want to be moving that way, when you're trying to throw this way."
It is with a practiced persistence that they engage with, and Heather knows all too well how big subtlety is in the game of Boxing. At 32, she's only been doing it for 4 years, which is extraordinary.
This is a sport that the average "guy" should never be getting into at 28, let alone a woman who has the full responsibility of motherhood, as she demonstrated by being in the gym after taking her daughter to school. Something she does everyday.
Entering this her 9th pro fight, she'll be facing a stiffer foe with real championship pedigree. In fact, this "opponent" is looking to use Heather as a means of staying busy while not putting her title on the line.
Already around fight weight with a few weeks to go, Heather knows how important this fight is.
"I'm just going to be prepared to win, whether if it was her or Ronda Rousey, I'm ready to win on the 21st," said Hardy, in a face more "poser" than poker.
She's exceedingly emotional, and wears her heart at the edge of her fist. I could see scar tissue when I looked at her. Not on her face or around her eyes - but deep within them.
The pain that she has seen and experienced, somehow produces this recognition her body language and general way communicates; for it made me nod my head in understanding - because I could literally see what she was saying.
You almost get the sense that she feels as if she's on borrowed time that owes her a favor, with "payback is a bitch" type motivation.
In actuality, studying Heather on tape before, during and after fights, produced what I thought was a fascinating similarity. On this day, she wore an authentic "Manny Pacquiao" hoodie, which is who she happens to remind me of in spirit.
In possession of great thematic apperception in relation to what she does to survive, Heather can summon the will to endure the preparation and actual moment of combat in a rare way.
She can subvert an opponent - a much more talented one - and take them back to a place of doubt. She does not reside in fear and is therefore disconnected to hate. It allows her to love what she does and the pursuit of a result.
Even though she didn't know what she was chasing when I asked her, I think I know where she's driving to. Her destination- is glory.
Did I mention she doesn't even have a Driver's License?
See Heather fight at the Aviation Sports Complex in Brooklyn on Friday, March 21st, @7pm. Tickets are $45, $65, or $125. Contact Gleason's Gym @718-797-2872 and pick them up there, or via e-mail [heatherhardyboxing.com]

Stop. Are you sure you want those puppy kisses? This is a real "ewww gross" moment, but there are solutions for one of the nastiest dog behavior problems. Solutions that require vigilence, commitment and veterinary assistance: coprophagia. Or eating poop.
Sorry, "ewwwwwww."
Older dogs as well as puppies can develop this noxious habit. The first step is a thorough veterinary exam to make certain that your dog is not missing minerals or vitamins in his diet. Supplements or drug therapy may help. It is also very important to check for internal parasites in a dog with coprophagia.
As distasteful as it for their people, basically, dogs eat feces because they taste good. If your dog is eating its own, or those of other dogs in the household, add things to your dogs food bowl that will make poop taste bad. Pineapple, garlic and spinach may help. Commercial additives, like Deter or Forbid, may also curb the attraction. Try a low fat dog food, and slow down his eating. If he eats too fast and the food comes out the other end partially digested, it may be too tempting to resist a second round.
Keep your yard clean. Pick up your dog's poop as soon as he makes it. If your dog poops while on leash, pull him away promptly with a "leave it" command and clean it up. Pay attention. Be diligent.
Try to keep your dog well-exercised and entertained. A bored, anxious dog is more apt to adopt bad habits, including poop eating.
Keep your dog kissable. Dog affection destresses people; it's worth avoiding nasty habits.

Two additional collapsible water containers holding more than 10 gallons each are expected to be added to the cargo transfer list before the Shuttle leaves, bringing to 17 the number that will be left behind, a substantial increase in the amount of available water.
ISS Program Manager Bill Gerstenmaier said in a Saturday news conference that the program was very happy to have the additional supplies and that the station's consumables status had improved considerably with Discovery's visit.
Mission Manager Wayne Hale said Saturday that the added mission day will be added to the crew's schedule after the third spacewalk day.
Hale also noted Saturday that Discovery's protective tiles and thermal blankets passed review and are cleared for entry. Analysis continues on the reinforced carbon-carbon areas and two protruding gap fillers.
Also Sunday, astronauts will make preparations for the second spacewalk of the mission scheduled for Monday. Discovery's cabin pressure will be reduced to 10.2 psi to prepare Mission Specialists Stephen Robinson and Soichi Noguchi of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency for their work outside the spacecraft.
Space Shuttle and Space Station crewmembers will participate in two separate in-flight interviews. Shuttle Commander Eileen Collins, Pilot Jim Kelly and Mission Specialist Charlie Camarda will talk to reporters with ABC News, Fox News and NBC's "Meet the Press" at 5:49 a.m. CDT. Collins, Robinson, Noguchi and NASA ISS Science Officer John Phillips will speak with CBS News, CNN and Discovery Channel reporters at 7:39 a.m.
Discovery's crew was awakened at 11:11 p.m. CDT by the song "I'm Goin' Up," by Claire Lynch for Mission Specialist Wendy Lawrence. The Space Station crew was awakened about the same time by a tone onboard.
The crews of Discovery and the Space Station are scheduled to go to sleep about 2:09 p.m. CDT.

pediatric orthopaedics
Pediatric orthopaedics is a specialty that provides surgical and nonsurgical treatments for diseases that affect a child's bones, joints and muscles, deformities in skeletal structure that they may have been born with, and injuries from trauma, such as a broken leg or a car accident. Whether your child breaks or fractures a bone or has a condition that affects his or her musculoskeletal system, you want the best possible care. The pediatric orthopaedists at Bon Secours are experts in handling issues related to the muscles and bones in infants, children and adolescents.
These specially trained physicians offer comprehensive quality care for the complete range of common and complicated orthopaedic problems. Some of the conditions that pediatric orthopaedists treat include:
- Fractures
- Spine disorders, such as scoliosis or kyphosis
- Genetic skeletal disorders
- Disorders that affect the neck, shoulder, elbow, hand, wrist and fingers
- Hip conditions, such as hip dysplasias
- Knee injuries
- Foot disorders
Because children's bones and muscles are still growing and forming, orthopaedic issues must be handled differently than those in adults. These physicians will partner with you and your child's primary physician to develop the treatment approach that is right for your child.

Too bad dorm rooms never look as elegant as the Miso Soup K Workstation ($Inquire). If Bill Gates was our sugar daddy (
sexy), maybe we'd get this sleekly modern two-toned workspace as a back to school present... But until pigs fly, we'll have to appreciate this ingenious furniture from afar. The undulating curvature of the honey colored wood looks smooth with white edging, and the efficiently compact design looks effortlessly beautiful. A studious fantasy is certainly new in our daydream repertoire.

Cabinet session held in Riyadh
April 5, 2010
The Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah bin Abdulaziz chaired the Cabinet session in Riyadh today. He began with a briefing on his most recent contacts with foreign leaders, including a meeting with U.S. Congressman Keith Ellison (D-Minnesota); a telephone call he received from Bahraini King Hamad bin Isa Al-Khalifah; and two telephone calls he placed to Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, during which he condemned the recent terrorist attack against the Moscow metro system.
The Cabinet praised the outcome of the 12th Conference of the International Energy Forum, held last week in Cancun, Mexico. The meeting came about as part of an initiative by King Abdullah to encourage dialogue between energy consuming and producing countries in order to ensure reliable, affordable energy supplies. The Kingdom was appointed chair of the Supreme Supervisory Group, which will submit recommendations to the conference participants.
Continuing down its agenda, the Cabinet approved the General Goals of the 9th Development Plan (2010-20140); approved the final account statements of the King Fahd National Library for fiscal year 1428/1429H; authorized the Minister of Finance to sign two draft agreements with Vietnam for the avoidance of double taxation and prevention of income tax evasion and for cooperation in the oil, gas and mineral sectors; reinstituted the National Committee for the Saudi Building Code, formed by the Council of Ministers Decision No. 174 and dated 15 Jumada 2, 1422H (3 September 2003); and approved a number of measures involving citizens traveling abroad for medical treatment, including informing them that the Kingdom's foreign missions will not pay for their treatment or issue guarantees for their treatment unless directed to do so by the concerned authorities in Saudi Arabia in accordance with the instructions governing this issue.

Last night, I decided to make some semi-homemade bread to ultimately dip in a little olive oil and Sicilian spices. I had purchased a box of Fleischmann's Simply Homemade Country White Bread Mix a while back and decided to whip it up. And "simple" it was! I heated up a cup of warm water and added the yeast packet and sugar packet, allowing it to "bloom" for several minutes. Then I stirred in the bread mix and voila! Instead bread dough!
It needed to rest for 30 minutes in order to expand. After the time was up, I placed the bread in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 25 minutes. It came out looking beautiful. Crusty on the outside and soft on the inside. It did have a slightly sweet taste to it that was not appealing with the olive oil and spices, but it would definitely make a good bread for French Toast or Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches. A little Honey Butter would also be delicious with this bread.
Fleischmann's makes several flavors of bread, including and Italian Herb that I would be interested in trying.

Benchmark No. 20300
This survey marker is in Black Hill Regional Park, near Boyds, Maryland. I discovered it in April 2000 while exploring the meadows near the southern boundary of the park. I returned last Friday to take these pictures. The marker itself, a metal disk embedded in concrete, is less than a meter† in front of the so-called witness post.
The engraving on the marker was difficult to read in the field, because the marker had gotten soiled from being buried under a thick layer of grass. By enlarging the picture on the computer screen I was able to make out most of the pertinent information, which states that this is a W.S.S.C. (Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission) First Order Control Station, number 20300. The abbreviation "B.M." stands for "benchmark". I don't know what "T.S." and "MC" stand for.
I also measured the coordinates at the spot with my Garmin eTrex, visible in the first picture. The data sheet‡ for this mark gives its coordinates as 39° 11' 07.27002'' N and 77° 18' 29.63964" W, while I measured 39° 11' 07.3" N and 77° 18' 29.6" W. They seem to be pretty darn close, but it is difficult to relate to latitude and longitude. I find it easier to work with UTM coordinates, which are in meters. Again, the data sheet gives the UTM coordinates (for zone 18) as 4,339,883.768 m north and 300,637.576 m east. In comparison, I measured 4339884 m north and 300,639 m east, which place my location about 1.42 m east and about 0.23 m north of the mark.
Finally, the data sheet gives the elevation as 125.8 m, while I measured 120 m.
When I am doing land snail surveys, I try to measure the GPS coordinates of every one of my collecting stations. I am hoping that the coordinates will help me or others to return to the same spots in the future. This exercise shows that my coordinate measurements are accurate enough for my purposes. In this case, what contributed to the accuracy of my measurement was that the sky was unobstructed by trees or nearby hills. Under tall trees, especially when they have leaves, or in deep and narrow canyons, the accuracy of GPS measurements goes down; sometimes I can't even get a fix on satellites.
You can download a list of all the registered survey marks in your area from the National Geodetic Survey's database. Many of the marks around here seem to be in residential neighborhoods. There are, however, a few in more rural and isolated locations, this being one of them. Whenever time and weather permits, I will try to locate more of them.

‡If you live in the Germantown area and want to find this survey marker, its data sheet provides detailed directions to the location. Alternately, you may let your GPS receiver, if you have, direct you to the spot. It would be a fun activity.

Many consumers are worried if the use of compatible or aftermarket printing supplies will void their printer's warranty. The answer is no.
More simply put, this means that your printer warranty cannot be voided just because you choose to use compatible products unless the manufacturer can prove that the compatible product caused direct damage to your printer. In cases such as this, the manufacturer may choose not to repair your printer but your warranty would remain in effect for all other warranty issues.

What's this?
The Applied Security Analysis Program curriculum includes core MBA classes, as well as courses in investments, portfolio management and security analysis functions. The ASAP is a CFA® Program Partner with the CFA Institute.
The first year of the program equips the students with the tools and techniques to perform investment research, while the second year is focused on training students in the actual management of various portfolios.
The CFA partnership indicates that the ASAP degree program incorporates more than 70 percent of the Chartered Financial Analyst® (CFA) Curriculum, the CFA Institute Code of Ethics and Professional Standards, and adheres to other requirements.
During the first semester, ASAP students enroll in the core MBA classes that are required of all Wisconsin MBA students. During the second semester, ASAP students take additional core MBA courses, as well as courses required for the finance major.
One key aspect of the first semester is the integrated core project, where students (working in groups) analyze a firm across all of their core MBA classes. This project ends with group presentations to the faculty and staff at the end of the semester.
A focal course for first year ASAP students is the Contemporary Topics course, which is nicknamed "ASAP 101." This course is taught by investment managers, and teaches students how to produce high quality research reports and introduces them to the tools and approaches utilized by money managers. Group project work completed in the first semester core classes is also incorporated into the research report created in "ASAP 101." While this class is offered for two credits, the work load is substantial.
First year students have access to all of the resources in the Hawk Center and are encouraged to spend significant time in the Center interacting with the second year students who are managing the funds.
Following the first year, students are placed in summer internships at various investment firms across the country. In addition to internships, the students are required to write an industry report, including a detailed analysis of at least one stock and one corporate bond.
During the second year of their MBA studies, ASAP students manage various portfolios and operate the investment firm. They have research and administrative duties within the firm. Students are divided into teams, manage about $62 million, have no safety net, and report to clients. Find out more about the structure of the second year and the ASAP student portfolio.

The story about a nude Tesla sports car driver on the Pacific Coast Highway (PCH) in Los Angeles on Tuesday continues to gain steam, with New York's Daily News reporting on April 23, 2014, that other motorists traveling the California highway at the same time the man began to act erratically just couldn't seem to stop from staring and watching the unidentified male.
Capt. Scott of Pacific Palisades Fire Station 69 speculated to the Palisadian-Post that the unidentified male may have been experiencing a "meltdown or psychiatric episode or was on a controlled substance," according to an April 24th LA Weekly report.
One bystander named Teddy Bliss caught most of the stripping driver's behavior from the other side of the roadway, but the images seen are still too graphic in nature (even for that distance) for under-age eyes, if you choose to view the YouTube video shown here.
Bliss said that he didn't begin filming the scene right away, as the driver was clothed at first, only stopping his car suddenly on the highway and exiting it, waving his shirt at other drivers, as if he was letting them know something was wrong with his car. So when he returned to his vehicle no one expected that he would began jumping up and down on his glass sunroof, breaking it, and then getting back behind the wheel to drive it so erratically that he crashed into a Mini Cooper down the road.
Next, the naked Tesla driver abandoned his vehicle and tore down Santa Monica beach as he shed his clothing, which was what was going on when emergency personnel arrived to the scene. And that's when Bliss began videotaping the wild antics of the naked driver as fire department personnel tried to reason with and calm the man down.
The LAPD has not released a statement about whether the man was under the influence of some drug that made him lose touch with reality for a brief period of time, or whether the man had a psychotic episode due to a mental illness. But one thing is for sure: The PCH Tesla driver is now in the care of a hospital. And that appears to be what he needs right now.

"The Voice's" top eight artists gave it their all during Monday's live performance show with every vocalist fighting for a spot in next week's semi-finals. The compeititon especially heated up tonight as three contestants will be sent home tomorrow, instead of the usual two.
And if you're watching the Emmy-award winning musical competition, you're no doubt aware of the power-house talent on Team Blake: Sisaundra Lewis, who opened the show on a great note tonight with a classic Tina Turner hit. "That was exciting! When I walked in and I saw the list of how the show was going to go, I was like, oh my gosh! But then you just try to channel all that nervous energy into something positive," said Lewis on her reaction upon learning she would be the first performer of the night. "To see how the audience received it and to hear the coaches comments, it was really, really good."
In addition to great feedback, something else that made tonight's show special for Lewis was having her mother in the audience watching her sing non-Gospel music live for the first time ever. "That was the first time outside of church that she has ever been to any of my performances. This show has brought us together as a family and it warms my heart- to open my eyes and see her. Because every time at my church, she always was that person in the corner that is like: "Sing Sisaundra, sing!" And after all these years of doing that, I missed that. And to be able to see her eyes and her face in the audience while I was performing, along with the rest of America, all the audience there; it just made me want to go harder. It was so motivating!"
Week after week Lewis has been consistent with her strong performances and if she continues on the track she is on, she can definitely earn her coach Blake Shelton his fourth Voice win. A coach that the mother of the two says has changed her as an artist for the better. "Working with a huge talent like Blake [Shelton], and him taking my gift and defining it more: just like do this, don't do this, work on this. He has just been pouring all this knowledge into me and I just feel so honored to be able to receive it," said Lewis. "He's just unbelievable. And the way he tells you how to do it, you can't help but just go yes, sir."
Shelton isn't just the only successful talent Lewis has been fortunate to learn from; prior to "The Voice", she worked as superstar Celine Dion's vocal director. "Celine taught me everything that an artist should be," said Lewis when asked about the most valuable lesson she took away from working with Dion. "She's very gracious, she's very kind; very open-hearted, and very down-to-earth. I know people would think that a talent of hers would have this iconic personality and ego, but she doesn't have that at all. She comes from a huge family; and all of that you see in her when you work with her and when you're with her. And you see her on stage when she talks to people she's very personable. It was just so great to grow in the music industry and witness that first-hand from an iconic person."
Whatever "The Voice's" results will be for Lewis Tuesday, it's safe to say we will be hearing about and from her for a long time. And when asked what the title of her first single could be, Lewis's answer proved that it's not just her voice that is big. "My title would be: 'The Joy You Bring', said Lewis. "Life is all about joy and inspiring, and this journey has just been that: to inspire others. Not just the 40+ group, but learning that I'm inspiring even younger people to follow their dreams. It's amazing to be in that position."

Future Proofing the Profession (PDF 1MB)
Just as the industrial revolution changed the world forever in the 18th and 19th centuries, we are now facing a period of significant transformation, likely to be characterised by both amazing new possibilities and seismic shifts in the way our national economies function.
These changes impact society in a way not often contemplated. That manufacturing and blue collar jobs will be significantly impacted is widely accepted, but automation and advances in computer software will also displace white collar jobs, including those in the business, financial and accounting worlds. Social adjustment to this polarisation of work is occurring globally and is met with mixed reception in different parts of the world.
This publication provides analysis and context to an issue that needs to be discussed with more depth. With contributions from professional accounting bodies, practitioners and accounting academics this sixth volume in the series examines the challenges and opportunities the futures presents for Australia and New Zealand.

Including contributions from leading national and international academics and policy makers, it covers the accounting profession's competitiveness in the Asian market and how Australian universities can respond to economic growth in Asian countries.
The Virtual University: Impact on Australian Accounting and Business Education (PDF 2MB)
Technology is changing the higher education landscape, just as it has changed music, newspapers, retail and book publishing. The rise of online learning offerings, in particular massive open online courses, is putting the onus on tertiary educators to adapt to the changing market. What impact will this have on the future of business and accounting education?
The articles in this volume offer insights into the subject of the virtual university, a field that is very new in research literature, from the perspective of a range of contributors from industries such as IT and publishing, professional bodies, industry groups and from those in the higher education sector.
Emerging pathways for the next generation of accountants (PDF 2MB)
How are education pathways for entry into the accounting profession changing? How are globalisation and new technologies, along with new social and environmental issues, impacting these pathways? And, what can our next generation of graduate entrants expect as accounting roles become increasingly varied and diverse?
Each chapter provides fresh insights from professional accounting bodies, practitioners and accounting academics as they openly explore and debate the changing role, education pathways and future needs of professional accountants in an Australian context. Of note, the recurring issue of quality and strategies for upholding the highest standards in accounting education is a shared priority among all contributors.
Edited by Elaine Evans, Roger Burritt and James Guthrie

Why is academic accounting research still lacking impact and relevance? Why is it considered so detached and worlds apart from practice and society? These and many more questions are tackled in this new publication commissioned by the Institute and the Centre for Accounting, Governance and Sustainability (CAGS) in the School of Commerce at the University of South Australia.
Each chapter provides fresh insights from leading accounting academics, policy makers and practitioners.

'Continuous assurance for the now economy' (PDF 2MB)
The IT revolution of the late 1980s early 1990s paved the way for information to be available upon demand. Over the years the demand by the users of information has grown stronger. As a result businesses, shareholders and sophisticated market analysts are demanding and are now receiving data in real-time.
The key question of what assurance could, and should, be provided over this stream of real-time data needs to be addressed. The concept of real-time or Continuous Assurance attempts to better match internal and external auditing practices with IT systems that provide stakeholders with more timely and accurate results.
Continuous Assurance for the Now Economy is written to promote discussion on continuous assurance as a concept. All stakeholders, standard setters, regulators, government users, and the profession have a role to play.

Dec. 21, 2011
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) — Brandon Weeden and Jordan Pratt can only chuckle now about their baseball connection.
The Oklahoma State quarterback and Stanford wide receiver spent a sweltering summer together in 2005 with the Class-A Columbus Catfish, the Los Angeles Dodgers' former minor league affiliate in Georgia. After practice or before games, they'd often take a break from baseball and play out another sports fantasy.
"He'd bring out a football every once in a while and throw me routes," Pratt said. "We'd always talk about, 'If baseball doesn't work out, we'll go back and play football.' Everybody else is like, 'Yeah right, that'll never happen.' And the two of us were kind of like in the back of our minds thinking, 'Yeah? We're going to do this if baseball doesn't work out.'"
They might be the only the ones not surprised by this rare Fiesta Bowl reunion.
Weeden, Oklahoma State's 28-year-old starting quarterback nicknamed "Grandpa" by students, dropped baseball in 2007 for the gridiron. Pratt, a freshman walk-on wide receiver at Stanford some call "The Professor," is just beginning his college career at age 26 after eight years in the minors.
As their teams get ready to meet in the Fiesta Bowl on Jan. 2, both are playing out that football fantasy on opposite ends of odd college careers — something they could only imagine six years ago on baseball diamonds thousands of miles away.
"It's kind of ironic when you look back at how things kind of evolve from those days," Weeden said.
The two formed a teammate bond while chasing the dream of pitching on Dodger Stadium's mound.
They lived in the same apartment complex, played beach volleyball with other teammates during down time, spent countless hours together on bus rides, eating meals at truck stops and staying in motels.
Both spent time in a variety of cities and leagues. Columbus offered shorter travel than most; the longest bus trip was about seven hours that season.
The Catfish also had several future major leaguers, including Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp in 2004. However, it was not one of the most desirable places to play.
"It was hotter than crap. We didn't get many fans," Weeden said.
While they played multiple sports in high school, each turned to baseball first.
Weeden spent five years in the minor leagues after being a second-round pick — and first player taken — by the New York Yankees in the 2002 draft. He always had an idea of what he'd do if baseball didn't work out, and that's exactly what led to him to being an unexpected Cowboys sensation.
Pratt played for eight years in the minors before seeking out Stanford. He received a $175,000 signing bonus with the Dodgers and is now taking advantage of a $120,000 college scholarship program with his baseball days done.
"Scouts were telling me I had a chance to do some things if things worked out baseball wise, and so I really wanted to give that a shot and leave no stone unturned," Pratt said. "So that's why I was always focusing on baseball. It was always kind of my first love. I knew I could always go back to school."
Both are following rare paths to major college football.
According to research by STATS LLC, they are among at least 17 Bowl Subdivision players who are at least 25, though not all schools provide players' birthdates in team media guides. There's at least one player older than Weeden this season: Buffalo punter Peter Fardon, a 29-year-old senior from Australia.
Age is a constant subject of teasing by teammates.
"They call me old man a lot and they joke with me," Pratt said. "They say, 'Man oh man what are you doing here?' Anytime I make a comment that makes sense they say, 'Ah, the wise old man.'"
Life is also different from those of most college athletes.
Weeden lives off campus with his wife, Melanie, and is financially stable thanks to his baseball contract. Pratt married his wife, Amy, back in February and is thinking more about starting a family one day than an NFL career. He will be at least 30 by the time he graduates.
"At least he'll get hassled about his age more than I will," Weeden joked.
The experience of playing professional baseball is what separates both — besides their age — from their younger teammates who had a head start on football.
Cowboys coach Mike Gundy considers Weeden's age to be a positive because he's been through the ups and downs of the minor leagues and doesn't get rattled easily. Stanford coach David Shaw expects Pratt, relegated to the practice squad as a freshman, to play next season and see big minutes before his Cardinal career is over.
"I've had a lot of friends who have played professional baseball. A lot of times in professional baseball, you don't have the highs and lows." Shaw said. "You have to be a pretty steady guy, so when things go wrong, you don't panic."
Pratt plodded along for seven seasons in the lower minors before the Dodgers promoted him to Double-A Chattanooga in 2010. He finished there with a 6.00 ERA in eight games, then sent his old football tapes to Stanford and became a non-scholarship player this season.
Weeden ended his baseball career in 2007 when a partially torn labrum and severe tendinitis in his rotator cuff didn't get better with rehab. He visited with Gundy and Larry Fedora, the offensive coordinator at the time, and decided to walk on — with the Yankees paying for his schooling before he was placed on scholarship last semester.
With the difference in throwing motions, he doesn't experience any pain when tossing a football.
The two have lost touch over the years, as is the way with a traveling minor league player. Weeden didn't even know Pratt was at Stanford until somebody told him after the Fiesta Bowl announcement a couple weeks ago.
They haven't had a chance to speak to each other yet but are hoping to catch up soon.
"I'd probably say, 'What's up?'" Weeden said. "See what he has been doing, talk about his last few years in baseball and about the glory days in Columbus, Ga."

As in most other states, residents of Utah must file annual income tax returns and pay taxes on the money they earn. If you live in Utah but work somewhere else, you may still have to pay tax on that income. It all depends on your status as a Utah resident.
Filing Status and Residency
The rule for filing tax returns and paying state income tax in Utah depends on your residency. If you have a permanent Utah residence, but left for Texas to work for less than half the year, the money you earned in Texas is taxable in Utah. State law defines a "nonresident" as someone who had a domicile in Utah for less than 183 days during the year. If you had an abode in Texas for 183 days or more, you don't need to pay Utah taxes on money you earned in Texas.
Federal Tax Return
Like many other states, Utah bases its state income tax on income declared to the federal government on Internal Revenue Service Form 1040, the federal tax return. If you do not meet the minimum income threshold for filing a federal tax return, you don't need to file a Utah return, no matter how much you earned in or out of Utah.
Utah Income
If you are a nonresident of Utah, but earned money in Utah and also must file a federal tax return, you have to file a Utah state return as well. This means income you earned while working in the state, or income from a Utah source while working outside the state (and living, for example, in Texas). This provision in the law often trips up self-employed and freelance workers, who may find out, several years later, that the money they earned from a Utah company means they have to pay Utah taxes.
Out-of-State Credits
When preparing your Utah return, and dealing with out-of-state income, keep in mind that you may claim a credit for any income taxes you pay to another state. Without this rule, which is a common feature of all state income tax laws, workers would be subject to double taxation on income they earn outside their own state. With Texas earnings, however, it's not going to be an issue: Texas has no state income tax.

Those who have been following our reviews know that we had a few issues with the previous episode of Telltale Game's The Walking Dead, specifically the decision to abandon the Carver storyline halfway through the season. While it isn't perfect, the newly released finale does a serviceable job at putting the season back on track during its final moments by expanding upon its themes and showing us another side to its characters. "No Going Back" also gives some added weight to player decisions and the role of Clementine in the group's survival. Before we continue with this review, we should warn you that there will be plenty of spoilers for the previous episodes of The Walking Dead, though we will avoid giving away major plot details from this episode that don't occur within the first few minutes.
The final episode opens where "Amid the Ruins" left off, with Clementine and the others engaged in a brutal shootout with Arvo and his gang. An undead Rebecca has also been shot (either by Clementine or Kenny), leaving her newborn baby defenseless in the winter snow. It doesn't take long for the action to subside. Like the previous episode, most of this chapter deals with the group's dynamic. In a surprising move, "No Going Back" actually features a few light-hearted moments. Each character gets a moment to be charming, poignant or humorous, allowing the player to grow close to the group in a way that the game's bleak situations typically don't allow. Of course, this only serves to make this episode's losses even more painful.
As we mentioned earlier, we were previously disappointed with Telltale's decision to depart from the Carver storyline so early in the season. "No Going Back" worked to set things straight by tying Carver back to the themes presented in this episode, namely how desperate times can change people for the worse. Like usual, it's up to Clementine to act as the group's moral compass during these difficult times, though "No Going Back" often leaves her and the player without any "correct" choices.
The character deaths themselves felt a lot less forced this time around (Nick's offscreen zombification in "Amid the Ruins" was especially cheap). "No Going Back" gives each decision and death the weight it deserves. This is where the episode really excels. Players have faced difficult decisions in the past, but there has usually been an easy way to justify and rationalize their choices. There are several instances during this episode where any given choice will cause someone to suffer, or may have unforeseen consequences. Clementine herself is lost at this point and begins to wonder what is best for her, something that will ultimately reflect on the player and their choices.
Fortunately, the impact given to Clementine's actions are unlike the franchise's previous chapters. While "No Time Left" was a fantastic way to end season one, Telltale was forced to funnel players into one possible outcome in order to set up a story for season two, making the choices throughout the player's adventure feel far less meaningful in the end. "No Going Back" doesn't follow these restrictions (it's probably safe to say that season three won't follow this cast of characters), and gives the player the ability to drastically change the game's outcome. This was a much-needed change for a season that otherwise made the player feel like a helpless bystander, regardless of which choices they made.
Overall, while a strong episode, "No Going Back" lacks some of the emotional punch that made season one's finale such a success, though it makes up for this with its focus on player choices and character interactions. This episode made us love the characters and long to see how things could have been had they met under better circumstances. The focus on Clementine's feelings perfectly illustrated how the character has grown since her time with Lee. In the end, "No Going Back" served as a strong finish for an, at times, shaky season.

Nov. 4, 2010
Stanford freshman Erik Olson has made an immediate impact with the No. 2 men's cross-country team. He placed 53rd at the Pre-National Invitational as Stanford's No. 7 runner and just last weekend was the top freshman at the Pac-10 meet, placing 11th overall as Stanford's No. 6 runner. The Novato, Calif. native took a few minutes to answer some questions from GoStanford.com.
GoStanford.com: Why did you choose Stanford?
Olson: How could I not choose Stanford!! We have great track and cross-country programs along with amazing academics, it was an absolute no brainer for me!
GoStanford.com: How has the transition to college cross country been?
Olsom: So far it has gone pretty well. The main challenge is just knowing when to say "No" in order to make sure I get enough sleep to compete at my highest level. The upperclassmen are all great in trying to get the team to hangout outside of practice, which also helps me from not getting caught up in "stuff" that could affect this cross-country season. Other than that, classes are going pretty well, though I think I have a pretty easy schedule.
GoStanford.com: Have you exceeded your goals so far? What goals do you have for the rest of the season?
Olson: I wouldn't say I have exceeded my goals so far, because my personal goals change every week pretty much. Right now, training-wise, I am where I want to be, but at the same time my goals are just to continue to get better so that I can make a greater and greater impact on the team as we head towards NCAA's. Thus, the majority of my goals this season are teamed based and all revolve around winning NCAA's as a team!
GoStanford.com: Do you have a mentor on the team or someone you look up to?
Olson: Well our team is great, but I really look up to the guys in the top seven. So that would include Jacob Riley, Chris Derrick, Elliott Heath, J.T. Sullivan, Miles Unterreiner, and Benjamin Johnson. Those guys are all great mentors and they set such good examples on what to do in order to be great student-athletes that its almost hard to not have an easy college transition. I owe a lot of my recent successes to them having faith in me and pushing me to do better during workouts.
GoStanford.com: It is impressive to already be contributing to a team as talented as Stanford as freshmen. How does that affect your goals for your four years here?
Olson: Well coming into Stanford, my main goal was team-oriented and it was to just help the guys as much as could as we contend for NCAA's, after a couple races that goal still remains. I haven't really thought much about the indoor and outdoor track seasons being that I am still focusing on cross country, but my goals for the next four years will definitely be high. I figure if I don't challenge myself then I will never be able to truly reach my full potential. I hope to be given the chance to succeed after college in the Olympics and what not, but that is all in God's hands.
GoStanford.com: What is your favorite place to run both back home and here at Stanford?
Olson: Back home my favorite place to run is at this place called Bear Valley, which is a trail that leads to the Pacific Ocean, IT'S AMAZING!! At Stanford, I pretty much love every run...my favorite place would probably be Huddart Park even though it's a pretty hilly and strenuous run.
GoStanford.com: Has it been difficult to balance school and running so far?
Olson: So far classes haven't been too hard, but like I said before, I think I am taking pretty easy classes. The most difficult thing I have to do is managing my time correctly.
GoStanford.com: Favorite class so far? Any idea what you are going to major in?
Olson: Right now I am just taking IHUM, CS 105, and French, so all General Requirement classes, and I don't really have a favorite out of those three. I am really interested in human biology but I am also a big fan of European History so I am not exactly sure what my major will be. Down the road I would like to go to graduate school for either medicine or law, so I'm pretty much keeping every door open.

There's all sorts of situations in which this thick leather bit that affixes around the head care of Velcro straps can prove useful. Chief among them muzzling pain freaks when you're beating the crap out of them in your dungeon so as not to disturb the neighbors. But it's also good for shutting up that particularly motor-mouthed friend who keeps stepping over your words, or your gabbing significant other when you're trying to watch the latest Raiders loss.

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) -- Diana Taurasi has been through this so
often she didn't even bother with the cap, instead just flinging it
into the stands.
Let some happy Connecticut fan wear it. Taurasi had just helped
Connecticut earn an unprecedented fifth straight trip to the Final
Four and she didn't need any souvenirs.
Mon., March 29
From the start of the game, all the energy was with UConn. Against Notre Dame in the Sweet 16, Penn State's offense showed signs of fatigue, and the Lady Lions, who have travelled from Indianapolis to Blacksburg, Va., to Hartford, Conn., for its tournament games, appeared sluggish again early on Monday.
It wasn't that Penn State didn't get some of the looks it wanted.But the Lady Lions continuously dawdled in setting up their offense, and often didn't start running the offense until 10 or so seconds were left on the shot clock. Also, they weren't getting second chances.
A lot of the credit goes to Connecticut, which had clearly scouted Penn State well. The Huskies knew each Lions' individual strengths and how to neutralize a good offensive team. Barbara Turner stepped up to give scoring help to Diana Taurasi, and that was a lethal combination for Penn State.
The feeling alone was enough.
Taurasi scored 27 points in her last game in front of the home
fans and Connecticut blew the game open in the second half to beat
Penn State 66-49 Monday night in the East Regional final.
"It's just unbelievable, really," said Taurasi, the regional
MVP. "To try to put it into words kind of takes away from it."
Taurasi did enough talking with her play, as did teammate
Barbara Turner, who scored 26 points. Together, they kept the
Huskies (29-4) in the running for a third straight national
championship and fourth in five years.
Only Tennessee has won three in a row, from 1996 through 1998.
"This is the way it should be," Connecticut coach Geno
Auriemma said. "To me, D needs to be in the Final Four her senior
year. Her senior year should not end in any other way, shape or
form without her being in the Final Four."
It will be a Connecticut double at the Final Four because the
men's team qualified on Saturday, making UConn the fifth school to
send both teams in the same year.
The women will play the winner of Tuesday night's Duke-Minnesota
game in the national semifinals in New Orleans next Sunday night.
Duke would have teams in both Final Fours if the Blue Devils win
that game.
"I just think we were tougher," Taurasi said. "We
outrebounded them, we made more plays. When you get this far, it's
just a matter who has the tougher team and that was us tonight."
Top-seeded Penn State (28-6), seeking its second Final Four
trip, buckled under Connecticut's intense defensive pressure in the
first half, but recovered to make a run at the second-seeded
Huskies after they opened a 21-point lead midway through the second
The Lady Lions got the lead down to nine before Turner and
Taurasi combined for nine straight points to return the momentum to
UConn, which had the backing of a boisterous crowd at its second
home, the Hartford Civic Center.
While Taurasi is a two-time All-American, Turner looked the part
in this one, shooting 8-for-11 and adding six rebounds and three
assists. She was 4-for-5 from 3-point range, including one she
banked in from the top of the key in the first half.
"That was the biggest problem we had. We had no answer for
(Turner)," Penn State coach Rene Portland said. "When she hit the
two 3s on Jess Brungo in the first half, there was an excitement
for their team. She had a very special night on a night that her
team needed her to have a special night."
Tanisha Wright led Penn State with 16 points and All-American
Kelly Mazzante finished with 14 after scoring only two in the first
half. Mazzante, the Big Ten's career scoring leader, missed eight
of her first nine shots and finished 5-for-17.
Penn State was 6-for-30 in the first half and shot 28 percent
for the game.
"They had a lot of great athletes right on me. They really were
tight on me," Mazzante said. "It was their game plan to hit all
of us coming across the lane. It was just something I knew was
going to happen. I was ready for it."
Still, it took the Lady Lions out of their game and once UConn
got untracked offensively, it was over.
"This was not a fun way to end the season," Portland said.
Connecticut led 21-13 after the choppy opening half, then got it
going in the first few minutes of the second half. Turner had a
3-pointer, two three-point plays and two free throws in a 16-6 run
that made it 37-19.
Taurasi hit a fadeaway for a 43-22 lead and Ashley Battle's
layup made it 47-26 with 11:57 remaining. Penn State then managed
its only threat, drawing to 51-42 when Mazzante converted a
three-point play off a leaning shot.
But Taurasi hit a wide-open 3 from the left corner after a UConn
timeout and the Huskies soon were back in control
"That's a deadly answer they have to your momentum," Portland
Connecticut had plenty of rough moments offensively in the first
half, but its defense never wavered. The highlight for the Huskies
was Turner throwing up a shot from the top of the key to beat the
shot clock and watching the ball bank in.
That came during a 10-0 run that broke an 11-all tie and put
Connecticut ahead to stay.
"It was just one of the those plays," Turner said. "It was
kind of a desperation shot. It was lucky."
Lucky or not, the Huskies are moving on. Next stop: the Big

Summer has officially arrived. Before you head out to the shore or travel on that well deserved vacation, don't forget to pack one of the best and safest natural sunscreens on the market according to the EWG 2014 Sunscreen Guide.
The Spa Examiner and her family recently sampled Sunology for Body Natural Sunscreen SPF 50 while at a golf outing. The four-hour beach day was ideal, with picture-perfect weather and a comfortable 80 degrees in low humidity. However, the sun's rays were strong and sunblock was needed. Correction, sunblock is always needed when outside to prevent skin cancer and premature aging. A few in the golf party wore the broad-spectrum sunscreen and others protected their skin with another brand.
The Sunology label claims its sunscreen is water resistant and offers protection for 80 minutes. For four hours, the three that used the sunscreen for face and body did not burn, whereas the others showed signs of redness and had to reapply. However, for optimal skincare protection, it is always recommended to reapply as directed by the product's manufacturer, even if you are having too much fun to remember.
Sunology received an overall rating of one for 2014, the best the Environmental Working Group has to offer. Made with natural ingredients that create a mineral-based formula along with UV Micro Reflexion Technology, Sunology's sunscreen "reflects the sun's rays and forms a physical barrier." The sunblock is gentle enough for those with sensitive skin.
The natural sunscreen from Sunology comes in three formulas, for kids, for face and for body, and the entire line received the highest rating from the EWG. The sunscreen is affordable and convenient for travel and everyday use. The two-ounce tube slips easily into a purse or diaper bag. Sunology is available online and at Amazon.com. For best sun protection, always follow the manufacturer's directions when applying sunscreen, wear layers, a hat and sunglasses and avoid the sun during its strongest time.
