FORT COLLINS, Colo. – In a thrilling match at Moby Arena on Thursday night, the No. 13 Colorado State Rams (14-0, 5-0 MW) remained undefeated after topping Utah State, 3-1, (25-17, 20-25, 25-23, 25-18) in front of 2,806 fans decked out in pink for CSU's annual Dig Pink match to support breast cancer awareness.
The win is CSU's 14th in a row, the fifth-longest winning streak in program history. Additionally, the Rams have now won 15 straight home matches, sixth-best all-time.
From the opening point, the tone was set that this was going to be a defensive-oriented match that the Rams needed to find a way to grind through.
"We need to give credit to Utah State," Head Coach Tom Hilbert said. "They are a very good team. From the standpoint of blocking, digs and defense, they were one of the better teams we have faced all year, if not the best."
With tough defense being played by both teams, the Rams hit just .173 while forcing Utah State (9-7, 3-3 MW) into 29 attack-errors and a .099 hitting percentage. That didn't stop CSU players from posting impressive numbers on the court, though.
Led by sophomore right-side hitter Adrianna Culbert's 14 kills, CSU had three players register double-digit kill totals, and had six players record at least six kills. Senior middle blocker Samantha Peters and freshman outside hitter Michelle Lawrence joined Culbert in double figures with 11 kills and 10 kills, respectively.
The Rams also received a spark from redshirt freshman Acacia Andrews, who entered the match near the end of the second set. Andrews provided CSU with much-needed energy and recorded nine kills on a career-high .692 hitting.
"We put Acacia in, and that was probably the turning point of the match," Hilbert said. "Acacia made a huge difference; she was terminal for us today. They had no answer for her, and that reminded me of practice where sometimes we don't have an answer for her either."
In the opening set, the Rams trailed early after dropping three of the first four points. Once the Rams regained the lead at 6-5, the team made sure never to relinquish it, no matter how hard they were pushed. Leading by just one point at 11-10, CSU used a 6-1 run to jump ahead 17-11 and seize control of the set. The Rams closed with a 5-1 run to win the set, 25-17.
In Set 2, CSU once against dropped three of the first four points, but this time it couldn't recover. After a back-and-forth with the two teams tied 12-12, the Aggies pulled away and won the set, 25-20, to tie it up at 1-1 heading into the intermission. It marked the first time all season that CSU had dropped a set at home.
Undeterred, CSU came back and battled in the crucial third set that featured seven tie scores. The Rams once again found themselves down early and clawing from behind. Down 11-15, CSU began to mount its comeback. The Rams tied it up at 20-20, and took their first lead of the set at 23-22. With help from Peters, who was responsible for four of the last five points in the set with a kill and three blocks, CSU won the third set 25-23, closing on a 5-1 run.
Peters finished the match with a career-best eight blocks, but none were bigger than those which finished off Set 3.
"That third set was a huge turn around for us," junior setter Deedra Foss said, "especially because we were behind the whole time until the end. It changed how we played in the fourth set, and added momentum going into it because of those two blocks at the end that got us the win."
With all of the momentum from the intense third set carrying over into Set 4, CSU took a commanding lead at 15-8, and cruised to a 25-18 victory to finish the match. Making an impact, Andrews led the way for the Rams with six kills on seven attacks in the set.
"I'm ready to go in at any point," Andrews said. "I'm very engaged on the bench. I love being out on the court and I'm just glad that I could step in and help my team."
The 14-0 start marks the third-best start in CSU's storied history, but it would not have been possible without key defensive efforts tonight against the Aggies.
The Rams posted a season-best 16.5 blocks as Foss provided problems at the net alongside Peters for the Utah State hitters. Foss finished with a season-best seven blocks to go along with her six kills, 47 assists and six digs.
In the back row, Colorado State had four players register at least nine digs. Sophomore libero Jaime Colaizzi paced the Rams with 21 digs, the second-most in her career, while Culbert and sophomore defensive specialist Kaitlind Bestgen each notched 10 digs. Freshman defensive specialist Cassidy Denny added nine digs.
For Culbert, it was her seventh double-double of the season, which ranks third in the Mountain West.
CSU will look to keep its undefeated record alive as it returns to the court on Saturday to host the Boise State Broncos. The match is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m. MT, a half-hour later than originally scheduled to accommodate fans and staff traveling from CSU's Homecoming football game. Tickets can be purchased here.

where can i get full coverage, smoked headlight & taillight covers for a 2008 GC?
Re: Light covers
MOST members have the rear lamps spray tinted. We have an awesome vendor here...Scott Paint and perform. that does tinting. he could also do your front lamps...but it will seriously cut down on light output.
You can also look into blackout film by Lamini-x or black out covers from AVS

If anything, it's just some good nightly reading.
ATHENS - Another edition of Fletcher Page's news, notes and somewhat relavant rambling.
It's not always easy coming up an intro for each Mailbag. I want this space to be informative and entertaining while still relevant to a current conversation.
I might get a hit. Sometimes I get out. Sometimes I don't even walk to the plate for an at-bat.
Inevitably I wind up thinking. Which for me, is a term that really means procrastinating. Lately I've been spending most the time usually designated for production on watching the Sopranos. If you're busy or not, I recommend it.
So late Thursday night/early Friday morning, I start digging into Season Four, having just read Dean's latest article on fan support and the sometimes-audible noise level in Sanford Stadium. The takeaway from the piece: Georgia fans are reactive and require something to cheer about before really getting into games.

Newtech Recycling - E H & S Policy
Newtech Recycling Inc - EH&S Policy
Scope: The Newtech Recycling Inc. Environmental Health & Safety Management System (EH&SMS) scope covers all of the facility operations and the supporting operations conducted by Newtech Recycling at 600a Apgar Drive, Somerset, NJ 08873. The goal of this EH&SMS is to develop a set of management processes and practices that enable Newtech to analyze, control, and reduce the environmental, health and safety impacts of it's activities and operations and function more efficiently. As part of the EH&SMS goal we are looking to improve compliance with laws and regulations, reduce any pollution from our operations and our energy consumption and reduce the likelihood of injury and ill health. Newtech is a demanufacturing company who takes apart all of the electronic equipment that is received at our location.
The activities of the employees, contractors, and subcontractors of this facility are subject to the policies and procedures outlined in this EH&SMS. This EH&SMS is designed to conform to the ISO 14001:2004, OHSAS 18001:2007, R2:2013 and e-Stewards v1.0 specifications. The Newtech Management team and ownership are fully behind this EH&SMS.
The Newtech EH&SMS is being structured using a "Plan, Do, Check, Act" (PDCA) framework. The "Plan" portion is to set forth targets, objectives, and instructions for how to accomplish tasks. The "Do" is the implementation of the "Plan". This includes operational structure, flow and controls, and emergency preparedness. The "Check" is the actual monitoring of the activities that will lead to corrective action. Checks are made on operational output with the development of a corrective action plan taking place along with training. The type of records for output and corrective action is also created. The "Act" is the taking of action. Through management involvement, a review is done of all activities, performance, accomplishment of objectives and then taking the steps for improvement. This also includes the proper allocation of resources to accomplish the objectives both financial and people.
Newtech is committed to managing environmental, health, and safety (EHS) matters as an integral part of our business. It is critical for us as a responsible entity to assure the EHS integrity of our processes and facilities at all times and in all facets of our operation. We will do so by adhering to the following principles:
Managing Used and End of life Electronics:
Newtech will manage the material at our facility based on the Hierarchy of Responsible Management Strategies. This hierarchy is based on: reuse, refurbish, recover, and dispose. Newtech will take all practical steps to direct properly functioning equipment for reuse, unless the client dictates otherwise. Newtech will attempt to refurbish and repair used and end of life electronic equipment, components, and materials for Reuse. Equipment that is non-functioning will be manually demanufactured and the commodity/component material generated through this activity will be directed to a recovery facility. Any remaining material from the process that needs to be disposed of will be done through an approved facility.
We will comply with applicable laws and regulations and will implement programs and procedures to assure compliance. Compliance with EHSMS standards will be a key ingredient in the training, performance reviews, and incentives of all employees.
Risk Reduction, Prevention, Resource Management:
We will seek opportunities, beyond regulatory compliance requirements, for reducing risk to human health and the environment. We will also establish and meet our own set of EHSMS quality standards where appropriate.
We will employ management systems and procedures specifically designed to prevent activities and or conditions that pose a threat to human health, safety and the environment. We will look for ways to minimize risk and protect our employees and the communities in which we operate by employing clean technologies. These technologies will be safe for the environment and the operators and a solid emergency plan will be in place.
We will strive to minimize releases to the air any impurities that would adversely affect the environment. Proper filtration devices will be part of the operation along with routine maintenance to insure proper functioning. All tasks in the operation will be continually evaluated for EHSMS compliance.
We will do our best to manage natural resources such as fuel, oil and gas in an environmentally sensitive manner. We will also work to find new ways through operational changes and efficiencies to maximize the necessary use of these resources.
We will communicate our commitment to EHS quality and our environmental, health and safety performance to our employees, vendors, clients, and the public. The policy is communicated via the Newtech Recycling website; hard copies are also available on site. We will solicit their input in meeting our EHSMS goals and in turn will offer assistance to meet their goals.
Continuous Improvement:
We will measure our progress on a quarterly basis as best as we can. This can be done on an informal basis unless there is an issue with the operation. Then a formal investigation will be done of the area where there is an issue. We will continuously seek opportunities to improve our operation and the adherence to these principles and improving our environmental and operational performance.

For Impostor Home Chefs, Gourmet Takeout Now Comes With Dirty PansBy
Catering to the demands of phony chefs, Shoreditch (U.K.)-based gourmet takeout service Housebites this weekend will start offering an optional £5 ($8) service to deliver and pick up dirty pots and pans with the meal.
This new service sprung from suggestions the company received from Twitter and Facebook. For example, one writer tweeted: "Shame I can't pass it off as my own. Women dig guys who can cook, right?" without acknowledging that women perhaps aren't as fond of pathological liars.
"We want to deliver an experience, not just a meal," says Simon Prockter, chief executive officer and founder of the service.
Housebites—launched in 2011 by entrepreneurs Prockter (who also started Speed Dater) and Paul Birch (co-founder of Bebo and BirthdayAlarm)—loans the pans to customers for as long as two nights, after which the chefs collect them. It offers a £2.50 refund to customers who clean the dishes before returning them—finally giving impostor cooks a reason to run their dishwashers.
The food, generally delivered by the chefs themselves (so you can try to squeeze out colorful details about the recipe to make your deception more convincing), comes in separate packaging—so users will have to dispose of the evidence before guests arrive. Delivery is free for orders of £15 and more.
"We have enough extra pots and pans in stock to cater for current demand," says a Housebites spokesman. And if you somehow end up breaking the pot? "The pans won't be overly pricey, but the service is a paid-for added extra, so costs are covered if they're unreturned."

How Can I Get My Interior CLean?
Alright i have a 1994 Eagle Vision ESI i just bought and the inside carpet has like pop Spills and just like Dirt all over whats a easy way to clean it ?
Pay somebody to do it.
Maybe a wet rag with soap, or a rag with carpet cleaner, and just scrub it real good.
Yeah, get a quote for getting it cleaned. Find a limo service in your town and find out who cleans their carpet. There used to be an automotive cleaning service next door to my shop. They cleaned a couple fleets of limos, they could get out some nasty stains. I wouldnt pay much more than $100, you could get a brand new replacement carpet for $130-$150.
Knights "Spray Nine" will clean it.
rent a steam cleaner
Steam cleaning and some of that Castrol Degreaser works really good. I like to spray the Degreaser over everything scrub it with a brush and then steam clean it. WOrks a charm
Oxy Clean
Go to home depot and check out the Oxy Clean and Citrus Clean products that they carry. Secret is in getting a plastic brush (some thing like a scalp cleaning brush people use in the shower) and working it up to a good foam after you spray it. Fell a sleep one night drinking chocolate milk. Don't ask. Jumped to my feet and the milk went every place. Took me an hour to clean and the wife still doesn't know about it. Good stuff. That has been over a year ago.

Hello there, I'm a 22 year old from Wales/England. I've recently started an ESB Boba and I thought I'd show everyone my progress. This is my first post on here as well so I suppose I'm introducing myself as well…hello! I started this about a month and a half ago after being inspired by welshwarrior's SE build (if you ever happen to read this welsh, big fan). This is something I've always wanted to do blah blah. I did try and started one a few years ago, but lack of knowledge led to a go nowhere project. But this time I'm back with a vengeance, ready to have a hack at it once more…
Since I'm not particularly well off financially I can't afford to go about buying the best of the best so this is for the time being this is a budget build with me making as much as I can myself. This way it doesn't matter so much if I make the odd mistake. I got a sewing machine for Christmas (intended for the manufacture of re-enactment items which I'm also involved with, though is quickly becoming the most useful thing EVER) so by making, I primarily mean soft goods. I'm relatively new to prop building (fastly changing thanks to this excellent resource of a website!). For example I've recently invested in an airbrush kit. No idea if it's any good or not and haven't much idea in terms of its use but hey ho it's all experience isn't it.
Anyways, I've rambled on for far too long already. On to what I've actually done!...

There's no investigation from envato: they disable the item as soon as they receive a DMCA and the only way to have it restored is by sending a counter.
You need to counter their DMCA, after that they have 15 working days to file a lawsuit against you and inform envato. If they don't, your item will be restored but frozen funds could take up to 3 months to be released from envato.
Just an advice: do not rely on raid/ssd for your data safety. They are less prone to hardware failures but not to filesystem meltdowns so always use external storage for backups.

Decision makers
- Whom it may concernNICE

NICE and the SMC: Reverse their decision to reject the breast cancer treatment Afinitor.
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (England/Wales) and the Scottish Medicines Consortium have both rejected the breast cancer treatment Afinitor for use by the NHS on the grounds that it is not "cost effective". Metastatic breast cancer (i.e. breast cancer which has spread to other parts of the body) has limited treatment options and is killing thousands of women every year in the UK. Brilliant research is being done into producing targeted drugs such as Afinitor for this form of the disease, but this will be in vain if patients cannot get access to them. People's lives should not be shortened because NICE and the SMC have decided that such a drug is not a good use of NHS money.

An oasis for lovers of classic films from the silent era to the 1960s
Thursday, July 18, 2013

CFB - A wonderful look back at one of the great sit-coms of all time! When this show first came on I was too young to stay up and watch but I use to sneak peeks and my parents would hear me laughing. Instead of getting mad they eventually let me stay up late and watch the show. Mary Tyler Moore was probably the sexiest TV wife/mom of the day (as you mention, those Capri pants). Needless to say Moore and Van Dyke had great chemistry and the rest of the cast were excellent. Later on, I realized how wonderful the writing on this show was, a key element to its success. The show remains a real treat to watch.ReplyDeleteReplies
I'm glad you remember it fondly and well. As for those Capri pants, CBS had to limit how often she could wear them on an episode to once at the most! How times have changed ... LOLDelete
I recently shelled out for the complete series on DVD (there was a sale). It is now so easy to get the entire family to sit together and enjoy the gang on "The Dick Van Dyke Show". Drop by any time.ReplyDeleteReplies
Glad you enjoy the show as much as I do!Delete
I have used up an enormous amount of Internets bandwidth on the love I have for The Dick Van Dyke Show. It's my favorite sitcom of all time...it can't and never will be duplicated.ReplyDelete
How deep is my love? When I was a kid, I would practice tripping over the ottoman in our living room aping Rob Petrie. I wasn't as fortunate as Our Lady of Great Caftan to get the complete series on sale but I bought every volume when it was released because it was simply something I had to have here at Rancho Yesteryear.Replies
You need to film yourself tripping over the ottoman for a video clip at Rancho Yesteryear. I'm sure it would be expert! This show is a classic for the ages and I love it.Delete
An irresistible favorite for those who grew up with it. Loved your mention of the extra black and white portable TV. Surely every home had one of those. In the kitchen, or the den or family room, or on a long extension in the backyard to watch a ballgame on a summer night. "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was just as good in reruns on the old little portable.ReplyDeleteReplies
You are right about that. I did love that little TV ... watched my first full Oscars ceremony on that TV in my room in the 1970s :)Delete
CFB - This is a lovely tribute to a beloved and brilliant show - one of my all-time favorites. When "The Dick Van Dyke" debuted on Nick at Night in the '90s I hadn't seen it since it was on network TV - and I noticed something I hadn't as a youngster: the Petries strongly resembled the Kennedys (JFK and Jackie). Both couples were attractive, stylish, smart - and youthful. I later found out that, coincidentally, the first episode of the Van Dyke show was filming on the same day JFK delivered his inaugural address. Two new frontiers kicked off on the same day...ReplyDelete
I'm always home from work by the time Dick Van Dyke airs on MeTV and I've found that it never fails to lift my spirits - even after the most grueling day on the job.Replies
Thank you ... I've read a few comparisons between the Petries and the Kennedys, but I didn't realize the pilot was filmed on the same day as the inaugural address. Fascinating. On another note, I'm still a bit hacked off that Entertainment Weekly didn't include this show on its recent list of top 100 TV shows of all time. Really???Delete
A marvelous post--a perfect mix of background details (most of which I didn't know), analysis of why the show was so good, and your memories of The DVD SHOW from youth (as a kid, my daytime TV schedule included LUCY, DVD...and PERRY MASON, THE RIFLEMAN...I watched a lot of TV). The casting of Dick Van Dyke and Mary Tyler Moore was kismet; as you noted, they had great chemistry and came off as a very realistic couple. I always preferred the at-home scenes to the office ones, although Richard Deacon is always funny. On a personal note, my junior high band teacher--who let us play current pop music by the likes of Chicago--picked THE DICK VAN DYKE THEME for one of our numbers. Not sure what inspired that...we sounded awful on it, although the percussion guys were enthused about playing the slide whistle during the ottoman spot in the theme.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you, Rick. I really appreciate it. I agree about the home episodes ... I forgot to mention all the times Rob was forced to write and direct the PTA shows that they rehearsed in their living room. How fun regarding the junior high band ... at least you enjoyed it, no matter how it sounded!Delete
CFB - love this show - and your fine tribute. Growing up in NY, the show seemed like home to me. Plus - I really dug Laura's capris!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! It's funny our perceptions. It felt like home to you, and I think this show is where I learned about something called the suburbs! My town of 2,200 people didn't have such things :)Delete
Great post! I'm more of a sporadic watcher of the show, but I love the episode with Richard Dawson (because I LOVE Richard Dawson) and I like the Twizzle episode because Me-TV plays that song a lot and I LOVE it! :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Richard Dawson is fun, and the Twizzle is one of the rare episodes built around a pop culture craze of the time.Delete
OH ROB!!ReplyDelete
My favorite part of the show, are the scenes where he and his staff are trying to come up with ideas for their comedy-variety show.Replies
And those scenes include the Buddy-Mel relationship which is hilarious. I loved when Mel used a clicker whenever Buddy irritated him.Delete
I'm proud to say I have watched this series my whole life and have it committed to memory. Favorite episode? Probably the Christmas episode where we are watching an episode-within-an-episode of "The Alan Brady Show." The opening musical sequence where Buddy, Sally, Laura and Mel Cooley sing "Alan Brady" while Rob conducts the disloyal choir. CLASSIC! Thanks for writing about this series--and reminding me why I love this series.ReplyDeleteReplies
You are welcome. I love that episode, too.Delete
Loved your post -- I've been waiting for it all week! The Dick Van Dyke Show has always been my favorite show of all time. It's funny, though, the one episode I don't like is the one with the walnuts -- it's scary and creepy to me, and I never watch it when it comes on. But I adore all the rest -- one of my favorites that you didn't mention is the one where Rob and Jerry go skiing and Rob sprains his entire body, except the corner of his mouth. Dick Van Dyke showed such physical talent in that one. Oh, I could go on and on, but I won't. Just wanted to say your post was worth the wait!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! I'm glad you liked the post. I thought of many episodes I didn't mention and realized just how many great ones there are. I'm starting Season Five while walking on the treadmill and I'm looking forward to the one where Laura inherits the brooch shaped like the U.S.Delete
Great post about a great show! I'm glad you mentioned the "That's My Boy??" episode--it's one of my favorite TV comedy episodes ever.ReplyDeleteReplies
It's a great one ... still makes me laugh out loud.Delete
Brilliant indeed! This is one of my all-time favorites and you do it proper justice! I was smiling through your entire write-up. THAT CAST! And the brilliance of Carl Reiner. And... and... on and on. It's perfection. Funny as hell and classy. Prat falls and all-out production numbers.ReplyDelete
Anyway - great stuff!
PS - "Coast to Coast Big Mouth" is one of my favorite episodes! :-DReplies
Thank you! And glad you love Coast to Coast Big Mouth :)Delete
Wonderful tribute to this terrific show. I haven't seen too many episodes, but I've really admired those I have. So many clever lines and the characters are interesting. So glad you included this in the blogathon. It wouldn't have been a proper Classic TV blogathon without "The Dick Van Dyke Show". :)ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! You'll have to check out more episodes and let me know what you think.Delete
Great post on a show which I had only seen sporadically, but which my mom (a huge MTM fan) always raved about. I'm much more familiar with her 1970s work, but after watching a few episodes on YouTube, the brilliance of MTM on this series is quite evident - super chemistry with Van Dyke as others have also mentioned. I was unaware of the "wrong baby" gag, but found a clip of that also - rather interesting stuff for that time period. Thanks for providing a fantastic tribute with many background details.ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you! Glad you liked the post, and I hope you check out more episodes. You are right about MTM ... she's a natural.Delete
A splendid post on one of the greatest TV shows of all time. I remember liking the episode where a very lavish b-day party for Richie goes out of control, with a kid in an Indian headdress tied to a stake and screaming constantly. Very funny.ReplyDelete
Growing up, I always enjoyed Buddy's insults on baldness towards Mel. Now.....Replies
Ha! It was Richard Deacon who came up with the "blech!" reply for Mel to utter at Buddy. Besides, hair is overrated ... remember "Coast to Coast Big Mouth."Delete
Perfect pick for this blogathon, CFB! I think this show is one of the very best things ever put on TV, bar none. The writing was sharp, the actors divine. I seem to remember reading that Van Dyke felt it was time for the show to end when it did -- it was damn near perfection, and he felt it would just go downhill if it went on too long. My favorite episode is called "Coast to Coast Bigmouth" about Laura spilling the beans that Alan Brady was bald. I laughed until I was sick at that one. The episodes with Carl Reiner were just wonderful. Great piece!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thanks, CB! Good to see you. Glad you are as much of a fan as I am.Delete

In your own home, Rob's caring yet overly-nervous spouse Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) stays on aware of the couple's kid Ritchie crosswrods solutions. Encircled through most of these distinctive figures, Deceive is definitely involved within another person's plan, imagination, or maybe shenanigan.ReplyDelete

G'day Boys,
An interesting perspective on the garbage we have to put up with at duck opening here in Victoria.
http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/duck-p ... 6024497084
Makes interesting reading. By the way, the kid didnt do it. He has been total exonerated of all claims and the protesters tried to make a citizens arrest on two other hunters before targeting this young fella.
We have what is called 'human saftey regulations' that are designed to protect both hunters and protesters. Unfortunatly, our law enforcement agencies choose not to pursue protesters with the same zeal that they check hunters
Good Hunting

They told me all they can do is put a request for more Titanium Focuses and pretty much wait for one to come in that fits the criteria that I want, in other words they do not custom order. This is my first time purchasing a car so I'm not sure if this issue is more my fault or theirs. Either way, I am definitely thinking of going to a different dealer despite actually liking the salesperson I have been trying to deal with.
Should I go ahead and seek out another dealer or just wait and settle for the SEL? Any advice is appreciated, I feel stupid for not knowing what I'm doing or what's status quo and what isn't.
The order bank for 2012 is closed. That means you cannot go order a 2012. The factory shifts from making 2012's to 2013's in July. So, everything that shows up from May 14 or so to July 30 or so is a 2012 that Ford made according to their matrix. You can order a '13, but it won't get here till July ish. As I ordered in mid March and it is June tomorrow with no car, your wait would be no longer then mine has been. There are deals to be had on these cars that are built after the order bank is closed. The dealers want to move them and make room for '13 and cars they choose. If you find one with the options and features that you want, there is a good chance you can get a good price and/or nice incentives on the car. There are not too many deals on the '13 models yet, so they will likely be the more expensive car at this time.
It's your car and your money. NEVER settle for what a particular dealer has sitting on his lot that he wants to move. Dealers sell the cars that are on their lot, they don't necessarily sell the cars their customers want or need. Occasionally, the two align and the customer actually gets into the car they would have ordered in the first place.
Keep doing your research and shop a bunch of dealers in your area. Playing dealers against each other is actually kinda fun.

Khloe Kardashian Drops by "The Tonight Show"
Never one to shy away from revealing her true feelings, Khloe Kardashian elaborated on her dislike for ex-brother-in-law, Kris Humphries.
During an interview with Jay Leno last night (February 28), the "Khloe & Lamar" beauty opened up about the initial reason as to why she wasn't thrilled about her sister Kim's choosing.
Of the first time ever meeting the basketball star, Khloe told, "One of the first things that came out of his mouth, within the first five minutes was 'so how much you getting paid to fake your marriage?' which "rubbed me the wrong way so ever since then I had a very defensive wall up."
"I'm a good judge of character, if I do say so myself," she added with a laugh, "I mean it just rubbed me the wrong way initially."

Remember when the LCP first came out? Couldnt find one anywhere. Just be patient. Let all the bugs come out. Put back $450 and in a couple years Shields will be found anywhere.

no shortage of them around here. I went into LGS today to get a set of tru glo TFO's for my glock 19, and they had 9mm shields readily available at $399

Glock 22, 27 Gen 4
Ruger SP101 .357mag
S&W 637 Airweight
Ruger Single Six
Ruger Blackhawk Bisley 45 Colt
Mossberg 835 Grand Slam
Whoah! Those numbers are amazing to me. I guess it was just some serendipity that I went in looking for a Gen 4 Glock 26 and walked out with a Shield earlier this summer. That "fraction of an inch" difference translates into a huge difference once you're wearing it.
I passed up a .40 this week that was $399 and am waiting on a 9mm to come in. I am second on this shops list. I just need to score by Christmas so I guess I will wait. Its for a lady shooter so I don't want to get the .40. Seems .40's are harder to find around here. But both are sporadic in nature. They come and go fast. But they do come.
Are you opposed to getting one from a vendor outside of your area?
That's what I did. I'm picking it up from my FFL later this afternoon. The total cost ended up being about the same as if I had bought one here + tax (just a few bucks more).
If you know someone who's seen one and the price is decent I'd go that way if you don't want to wait.
"The Second Amendment isn't about protecting ourselves against criminals. It's about all of us protecting ourselves from all of you." ---Dr. Suzanne Gratia Hupp to Congressman Charles Schumer (D-NY), 1994**
After all, it's just a gun. But, I was lucky enough to order my 9mm Shield early. (Got it in May). For my EDC needs, it just looked like it fit the bill for me. And it really does. This weapon has great size, features, and shoots accurately with surprisingly little recoil. It really is a great little gun. I haven't found anything I don't like about it. One of my buddies who is quite a (self-professed) Glock nut shot my Shield once and ordered one immediately (He's still waiting). It's worth the wait. Handy little shooter.
I searched and searched for one for either my wife or myself to carry. Got close at times, but no cigar.
My wife now has a PPS and loves it- shoots it very well too. I picked up a Kahr K9 Elite and I absolutely love it.
We own a Glock 21 but we needed something a bit more practical for EDC and we got tired of waiting.
I love my PPS much better than the Shield but it is more expensive. I am not a fan of the thumb safety on the Shield. I hope that they will come out with a model with no thumb safety like the other M&P series.

Those who are willing to trade freedom for security will have neither.
I can't find any in Cleveland Ohio. If anyone has a line on some inventory, please let me know.
they are pretty hard to get around here (metro detroit) and up in port huron/bad axe area....

Accuracy ALWAYS WINS! So carry what you can hit with.
If you find yourself in a fair fight your tactics stink.
I'm glad I got mine the day after they were announced. First time I've been on the right side of a gun trend. :D
Rowe/Higgins 2016!
I'm another one of the guys that got tired of hunting for the elusive Shield and ended up with a PPS.
Very happy with my purchase.

Given that the transfers are at 9 and 3, Suzuki must have machine up the crankcases differently to match. Unfortunately the seller did not have the head for the block. I'll have to track down a head as well as figure out what pistons will work and get a set of cases modified. I'll work up a port map in the near future as well.

Doha, The Middle East's Emerging Sustainability Laboratory
In my most recent article on Guardian Sustainable Business, I discuss how Doha is slowly becoming a hub for green building and solar energy. During my time in Qatar last month, I had the opportunity to meet many sustainability professionals, including the Qatar Green Building Council's head, Issa Al Mohannadi. Mr. Mohannadi is also the CEO of Msheireb Properties, a 31 hectare site that will transform downtown Doha. From architecture to education, Mr. Mohannadi explained the shift in thinking that is remaking Doha. Projects like Msheireb will start to change the face of Doha (pictured, click to expand) and in the long run, the rest of the Gulf Region. Oil and gas may flow for many years, but that peak oil moment could smack the Gulf at any moment. The time to invest in an economy that looks beyond fossil fuels is now. Critics, like one group I met in Doha, slam Qatar's leadership for not moving fast enough on sustainability issues, or for doing nothing. I believe it is impressive what Doha's leaders are doing now. Countries like Qatar and the United Arab Emirates developed at a dizzying rate in only 20 years; western powers took two or three centuries. Change will come; maybe not at the rate we would like to see, but it is occurring. And most importantly, the Qataris will have to make these decisions, not expatriates who are quick to criticize their host country while they gleefully cash in on their riches. So even after my visit, do I believe Doha is still an emerging sustainability hub? Of course. There is plenty of low-hanging fruit--actually, that fruit is hanging on the ground. With an impressive lineup of international events scheduled in Doha, it is in this country's interest to show that they are serious about weaning themselves away from fossil fuels. Watch for Qatar to succeed in redefining itself this coming decade. Read the full article here.

Citation: Bosma, W.B., Appell, M.D., Willett, J.L., Momany, F.A. 2004. Density functional study of cellobiose hydrates [abstract]. American Chemical Society. p.189. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Previous studies of the disaccharide, cellobiose, at the B3LYP/6-311++G** level of theory led to a result in which the energetically favored conformations were those in which the glycosidic dihedral angles were in the range of (phi,psi) less than (180 degrees C, 0 degrees C). These conformers, called the "flipped" forms were less than 2.5 kcal/mol lower in energy than the "normal" form or those conformations experimentally observed in solution. To understand this result we have investigated the effect of adding water molecules around cellobiose, optimizing these configurations at the above DFT level of theory, and comparing the energy differences between the best "flipped" and best "normal" conformations. The resulting mono-, di-, tri-, and tetra-hydrate structures were found to converge on a energy difference that suggests that the synergetic hydrogen bonding network found for the "flipped" forms is gradually disrupted as more water molecules are added around the cellobiose molecule, allowing the "normal" conformation to become more favored energetically, relative to the "flipped" form. The energy differences with the "flipped" conformation favored moved from 2.5 kcal/mol with no water molecules, to less than 1.5 kcal/mol for one water, less than 1.0 kcal/mol for two waters, less than 0.6 kcal/mol for three water molecules, and finally to a value near zero for four water molecules. Clearly the preference for the "flipped" form is lost as the hydration level increases and we expect the "normal" form to be somewhat preferred in water.

She was born September 2, 1947 in Lakewood to David S. and Marjorie (Turnbull) Preston. Elizabeth worked and retired from the Human Resource Department at Kent State University. She liked to play bridge, do crafts with her grandchildren, and cook all sorts of delicious goodies.
She is survived by her husband, Walter Sestili, whom she married on December 17, 1966; daughter, Wendy (Timothy) Chasar of Medina; grandchildren, Antonia, Brandon, and Celeste.
The family would like to thank all that were involved in her excellent care at The Elms and Summa Western Reserve - Palliative Care and Hospice teams.
Calling hours will be held 2-4 and 6-8 PM Tuesday, February 18th at Bissler & Sons Funeral Home in Kent. Funeral services will be held 11:00 AM Wednesday, February 19th at Christ Episcopal Church with Rev. Julie Blake Fisher officiating. Burial will be held at Standing Rock Cemetery.
Betty was one of the nicest people I ever worked with. Although we have not kept in touch since I left Kent State, I have often thought of Betty. Betty made me a candle center piece many years ago that I still use today on my dining room table during the holidays. Walt and Wendy, you will be in my prayers.

Step It Up & Dance
Elizabeth Berkley and Jerry Mitchell talk about 'Step It Up & Dance'
By Christopher Rocchio, 03/31/2008
So You Think You Can Dance
Dancing with the Stars
Your Mama Don't Dance
Randy Jackson Presents: America's Best Dance Crew
, dance-themed reality shows are currently the craze. Director and choreographer Jerry Mitchell -- a mentor on Bravo's new
Step It Up & Dace
series -- thinks he knows why.
"I think dance is infectious," he told reporters during a Wednesday conference call. "I say to people -- the general population -- I say dance is like a bird flying for most people. It's something everyone wants to do, but very few can."
Step It Up & Dance
Thursday, April 3 at 10PM ET/PT and is being
by Magical Elves' producers Jane Lipsitz and Dan Cutforth -- the same duo behind Bravo's
Project Runway
Top Chef
reality series.
It will follow a similar format to the aforementioned Bravo shows, combining elimination competitions with behind-the-scenes footage of what it takes to make it in the professional dance industry. While Mitchell acknowledged it also has similarities to the aforementioned dance-themed shows, he added it is unique.
"I've watched [
So You Think You Can Dance
] -- which is spectacular and the dancers are tremendous -- and it's based more on the competitions that go around the United States where dancers compete in competitions just like that, young dancers from different dance schools. It's pretty much based around one style," he explained.
Step It Up & Dance
is going to expose these dancers to choreographers who actually work at the top of their line in different styles of choreography. And on the episodes, those dancers will get a chance to really do things that they probably never would have been asked to do before. And that's going to be interesting to watch how that evolves."
Saved by the Bell
actress Elizabeth Berkley will
serve as
Step It Up & Dance's
, and she agreed with Mitchell on how it differs from other dance-themed reality shows.
"What's really, really exciting about our show is each week -- it's the producers who do
Project Runway
-- what's exciting about that format that works so well is you really get involved with the dancers' personal lives because you see them at their apartment [living] together," said Berkley. "The stakes are so high on our show where you're seeing them learn choreography and the turnaround is so fast where they have to then perform for the judges and the guest judge."
In addition, Berkley said the challenges facing
Step It Up & Dance's
contestants each week -- from burlesque to Broadway -- allows viewers to get a sense of the "journey" they go on to become the best.
"They're so invested because it's new and different every week. So you really get invested in the dancers because you get to know them personally as well," she explained. "Anyone watching at home, it's going to definitely be entertaining for them to see these people they begin to care about, and then just have to see them and how they literally step it up."
However home viewers apparently aren't the only ones who will become attached to the show's cast.
"By the third episode of this show, I was really emotionally attached to all of them and it was surprising because like Elizabeth said, it's such a condensed shooting schedule and these kids are working so hard," explained Mitchell. "And my job as the mentor is to make sure that they come off the best that they can and to encourage them to be the best that they can. And when they're doing great, acknowledge that. And when they're not, try and get them to do better because that's what I do with my own dancers."
Because of that Mitchell said his investment in the contestants "started to grow," which "sort of surprised" him.
"I think one of the things that's been most interesting to me is watching each of them change," he said. And watching them sort of challenge themselves to do things that they never thought they could do. And I can't get specific about any one episode. I think that's against the rules for me. But I was really impressed at how they really changed throughout the series and how I saw them change. So I'm hoping that comes off."
Mitchell said when he was first approached by Magical Elves and Bravo to get involved with
Step It Up & Dance
, his reaction probably wasn't what they were looking for.
"I thought, 'Oh my god, a reality show.' I wasn't really that familiar with
Project Runway
. I had watched it a couple of times," he said. "But what I realized -- first of all -- was any way to get dance in front of the greater population, for me, is a plus."
So Mitchell said he decided to sign on for
Step It Up & Dance
"It offers the chance to make everyone who's out there, who thinks, 'I can be famous tomorrow' realize that there's a lot more that is behind being able to excel in your particular line of work or your profession," he explained.
"And for a dancer, that requires determination, drive, discipline. It requires all of those things. And this show is going to hopefully help enlighten the general population to that -- those things that are necessary in order to succeed in this business. And I thought that was a really, really interesting take in an exciting way to expose dance on television that hasn't been exposed before."
Berkley told reporters that -- as a dancer since childhood -- the work ethic is "necessary" to succeed, which also intrigued her about the project.
"The work ethic that is necessary to become great is something no one can give you. That's the hours in that studio,' she said. "And there's something really extraordinary about that, which is why I -- to tell you the truth -- really wanted to be a part of this show."
In addition, Berkley said "especially in the world of reality television right now" there's "this kind of strange democracy of fame" that she said isn't evident with
Step It Up & Dance
"What I truly love about this show -- and a few of the shows that are on Bravo -- it's really about the artistry," she explained. "Whether it's
Top Chef
or whether it's
Project Runway
, or our show where it's dancers -- these are true artists that are expressing themselves creatively. And it's not just about, 'Oh, the entitlement for wanting to be famous.' It's about working hard, going after your dreams and I think it's going to be a great, kind of reminder for people of what it really, really takes."
Berkley said that what differentiates dancers from actors is that with dancing it's "constant critique," so
Step It Up & Dance
contestants "have to be tough enough to take it because this is what the business is and so it's kind of a wake up call."
"You have to be comfortable going into the room and giving it your all no matter what the outcome is," added Mitchell. "That's really what the business is about."
The performances of
Step It Up & Dance's
participants will be judged by director and choreographer Vincent Paterson, choreographer Nancy O'Meara and a weekly guest judge. Mitchell disagreed with the assertion that he'd be playing the villainous role on the show.
"I don't think I'm a villain. I don't think anybody on Broadway would say I'm a villain. But I can be brutally honest and not in a bad way," he said. "I'm usually a very positive influence on my dancers. It's strange. Here in New York, the dancers that I work with have a tendency to stay close to me and they work on a lot of shows with me. I develop a family sort of feeling and I believe in their talent and support them. And they come back to me and come back to me. And I often use them in many, many projects."
As for her own role in the show, Berkley said she just tried to be herself in serving as host.
"I think the most important thing to me was to bring myself to it because talking about dance and that whole world is so organic and authentic to me," she explained. "So it was really just important for me to bring myself to it, but of course, within what the format of the show is."
If she is looking for inspiration, Berkley won't have to go too far -- as she's friends with fellow former
Saved by the Bell
actor and
Dancing with the Stars
third-season celebrity participant Mario Lopez, who recently finished hosting MTV's
America's Best Dance Crew
reality competition series.
"To me, it just kind of makes perfect sense because we both have always shared a great love for dance," she said. "And then being that in our kind of culture at this time, dance is being embraced in the way that it has which is such a great, great joy. It just makes perfect sense."
Mitchell also touched upon some of
Step It Up & Dance's
special quest choreographers, including Spice Girl and former
Dancing with the Stars
fifth-season runner-up Melanie Brown; Cirque du Soleil choreographer Jacques Heim; and the group that members of Stomp.
He added the wide variety of choreographers will help the show's contestants "to really step outside of their boundaries."
"We have amazing, amazing choreographers coming on this series that are going to test the limits of these dancers and take them in directions that a lot of them have never ever thought they'd ever get the opportunity to learn or would they be able to excel in this kind of choreography," he said. "I just think that's really going to be exciting."

Behold the power of Onions!
ONIONS! I had never heard this!!!
... In 1919 when the flu killed 40 million people there was this Doctor that visited the many farmers to see if he could help them combat the flu...
Many of the farmers and their families had contracted it and many died.
The doctor came upon this one farmer and to his surprise, everyone was very healthy. When the doctor asked what the farmer was doing that was different the wife replied that she had placed an unpeeled onion in a dish in the rooms of the home, (probably only two rooms back then). The doctor couldn't believe it and asked if he could have one of the onions and place it under the microscope. She gave him one and when he did this, he did find the flu virus in the onion. It obviously absorbed the bacteria, therefore, keeping the family healthy.
Now, I heard this story from my hairdresser. She said that several years ago, many of her employees were coming down with the flu, and so were many of her customers. The next year she placed several bowls with onions around in her shop. To her surprise, none of her staff got sick. It must work. Try it and see what happens. We did it last year and we never got the flu.
Now there is a P. S. to this for I sent it to a friend in Oregon who regularly contributes material to me on health issues. She replied with this most interesting experience about onions:
Thanks for the reminder. I don't know about the farmer's story...but, I do know that I contacted pneumonia, and, needless to say, I was very ill... I came across an article that said to cut both ends off an onion put it into an empty jar, and place the jar next to the sick patient at night. It said the onion would be black in the morning from the germs...sure enough it happened just like that...the onion was a mess and I began to feel better.
Another thing I read in the article was that onions and garlic placed around the room saved many from the black plague years ago. They have powerful antibacterial, antiseptic properties.
This is the other note. Lots of times when we have stomach problems we don't know what to blame. Maybe it's the onions that are to blame. Onions absorb bacteria is the reason they are so good at preventing us from getting colds and flu and is the very reason we shouldn't eat an onion that has been sitting for a time after it has been cut open.
I had the wonderful privilege of touring Mullins Food Products, Makers of mayonnaise. Questions about food poisoning came up, and I wanted to share what I learned from a chemist.
Ed, who was our tour guide, is a food chemistry whiz. During the tour, someone asked if we really needed to worry about mayonnaise. People are always worried that mayonnaise will spoil. Ed's answer will surprise you. Ed said that all commercially-made mayo is completely safe.
"It doesn't even have to be refrigerated. No harm in refrigerating it, but it's not really necessary." He explained that the pH in mayonnaise is set at a point that bacteria could not survive in that environment. He then talked about the summer picnic, with the bowl of potato salad sitting on the table, and how everyone blames the mayonnaise when someone gets sick.
Ed says that, when food poisoning is reported, the first thing the officials look for is when the 'victim' last ate ONIONS and where those onions came from (in the potato salad?). Ed says it's not the mayonnaise (as long as it's not homemade mayo) that spoils in the outdoors. It's probably the ONIONS, and if not the onions, it's the POTATOES.
He explained onions are a huge magnet for bacteria, especially uncooked onions. You should never plan to keep a portion of a sliced onion.. He says it's not even safe if you put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in your refrigerator.
It's already contaminated enough just by being cut open and out for a bit, that it can be a danger to you (and doubly watch out for those onions you put in your hotdogs at the baseball park!). Ed says if you take the leftover onion and cook it like crazy you'll probably be okay, but if you slice that leftover onion and put on your sandwich, you're asking for trouble. Both the onions and the moist potato in a potato salad, will attract and grow bacteria faster than any commercial mayonnaise will even begin to break down.
Also, dogs should never eat onions. Their stomachs cannot metabolize onions.
Please remember it is dangerous to cut an onion and try to use it to cook the next day, it becomes highly poisonous for even a single night and creates toxic bacteria which may cause adverse stomach infections because of excess bile secretions and even food poisoning.
Please pass this on to all you love and care about.

A few of you may already know, most of you may not. I've started a research project into rat nutrition. I've noticed over the years there isn't a lot of valuable information about the nutritional needs of rats available to the pet community. It is out there in scientific journals and lab settings, but that information is either simply not available or not very easily to understand for your average pet owner. It seems one of the biggest debates in the pet rat community is "what makes a proper diet?" with opinions about as plentiful as eyeballs. So I have decided to take it upon myself to start a research project. To date I have collected over 60 journal articles on various aspects of rat nutrition, ranging from general nutritional needs and requirements to nutrition as it relates to health (such as the areas of immune response, tumor development and growth, and stroke). Through this research, I hope to be able to lay out the information in an easy to understand format, as well as develop a formula to help the average pet owner develop a diet appropriate for their pet rat. I have created a blog where I will outline and summarize my research for all who are interested in keeping tabs on it. Once my research has been concluded I will probably lay it out on a website in an easy to read manner. Although I have over 60 articles already, I am continuing to collect more. So if anyone has any articles they'd like to share, please let me know! The more information the better. I don't want websites so much as real scientific articles that give me the experimental procedure, results, and subsequent discussion of those results, along with any additional background information that is relevant, and citations for sources used to gather information. Anyone can make a website, but it typically takes a bit more work to develop and conduct an experiment and then get it published. Wink
So without further adieu... the link to my blog is

Liam Payne of One Direction Gets Update on His Faulty Kidneys
One Direction cutie Liam Payne has dealt with a pretty significant health problem for most of his life. Payne, who turns 19 at the end of this month, had a sole working kidney, which was likely due to being born prematurely. However, he got some good news regarding his organs and found out both are working now.

The Year Of The Horse
That's the greeting many will say on Jan. 31 to mark the beginning of Chinese New Year. The important Chinese festival, also known as Spring Festival, marks the start of new life and the season of ploughing and sowing. The holiday is traditionally linked to honoring the household, heavenly gods and ancestors. Today, China celebrates New Year's Day on Jan. 1, but it marks the Chinese New Year as time to spend with family and relax from work.
The two-week holiday is divided into two parts. The first week is designated time to spend with family and friends. The second week involves traditions designed to bring good luck. The festivities end with a Lantern festival.
Before the holiday begins, families tend to clean their homes, but throughout the holiday, dust brushes and brooms are hidden so that "good luck can not be swept away." Typically, the holiday begins on New Year's Eve, when families gather for a large traditional meal in which regional foods are served. At midnight, fireworks are set off to "frighten" evil spirits. Red is a common color for the holiday because it symbolizes fire, which wards off evil.
The holiday itself is usually spent with relatives, shopping, watching fireworks and in some cases -- a religious ceremony honoring heaven, earth and other deities. Other traditions include stuffing red envelopes with money and candy and placing them under children's pillows, to open on New Year's Day.
Each year corresponds with one of the 12 Chinese zodiac signs and animals. Each sign is believed to influence the personalities of those born in those years. In 2014, it will be the year of the Horse. Those born under this sign are known to possess good communication skills and are cheerful and stubborn. They crave success, and they are popular and talented.
For those who want to join in on the festivities, below are 25 inspirational sayings, greetings and proverbs to usher in the new year:
Happiness, Prosperity, Longevity
¸£Â»ÊÙ fú lù shòu
Wish you luck in the Year of the Horse

Standard Setter updates
Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
27 January 2012 FASB/IASB joint videoconference meeting
Accounting for financial instruments: classification and measurement - The Boards agreed to jointly redeliberate certain aspects of their separate classification and measurement models to reduce significant differences. Key topics to be discussed by the Boards in coming months include (1) the contractual cash flow characteristics of an instrument, (2) the need and basis for bifurcation of financial assets, and (3) the basis for and scope of a category for debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Boards will also discuss any interrelated issues, such as disclosures.
Accounting for financial instruments: impairment - The Boards tentatively agreed that purchased financial assets with explicit evidence of credit deterioration would initially be placed in Bucket 2 or Bucket 3, rather than Bucket 1, where all other financial assets would initially be placed. The Boards directed the staff to further define what would constitute such an asset. The Boards also tentatively agreed that these purchased assets would initially be recorded at fair value (i.e., no allowance) on the balance sheet and an effective interest rate would be calculated to accrete from fair value to the expected cash flows. While these assets would be recorded net, the Boards decided that disclosure of the expected contractual cash shortfalls implicit in the purchase price would be useful so investors can compare originated and purchased portfolios. An impairment allowance would be recognized if lifetime expected losses change from those assumed at acquisition. Increases in expected cash flows would be recorded as an adjustment to bad debt expense even if they exceed the previously recognized impairment losses.
For additional detail of the Boards' discussion, see the FASB's Action Alert.
Education sessions
See the FASB calendar for upcoming education sessions. No decisions are made at these sessions.
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)
SEC Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies recommends modifying triggers for public registration
The SEC's Advisory Committee on Small and Emerging Companies (the Committee) recommended that the SEC amend Regulation 12(g) of the Exchange Act to increase the number of record holders that trigger a company's obligation to register and report as a public company from 500 to 1,000 (2,000 for commercial banks) and increase the record holder threshold from 300 to 600 (1,200 for commercial banks) below which a company may terminate registration and suspend its reporting obligation. In both cases, the Committee recommended that the record holder count exclude employees who hold company stock if there are restrictions on their ability to sell the stock in a secondary market.
The Committee also recommended that the SEC modify Regulation A to raise its annual registration exemption for public offerings from $5 million to $50 million. The Committee discussed the use of crowdfunding and acknowledged concerns over investor protection, but did not make any recommendations.
The Committee and SEC staff heard from members of the IPO Task Force who summarized their report, "Rebuilding the IPO On-Ramp," which was presented to the US Department of the Treasury in October 2011. Members of the IPO Task Force spoke about a proposed new category of issuer called an "emerging growth company," the modified regulations for these emerging companies currently being considered in Congress, as well as the costs and concerns associated with becoming a public company.
The Committee was formed to advise the SEC on the priorities and interests of small privately held businesses and publicly traded companies (i.e., those with less than $250 million in capitalization). The next meeting is set for 2 May 2012. More information about the Committee and its recommendations is available on the SEC's website.
Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB)
PCAOB to host a public meeting on auditor independence and audit firm rotation
The PCAOB will host a public meeting on 21-22 March 2012 to get more input on ways to enhance auditor independence, objectivity and professional skepticism, including through mandatory rotation, or term limits, for audit firms. Panelists will be invited to present their views on the Board's August 2011 concept release, and Board members will ask follow-up questions.
An overwhelming 94% of the more than 600 respondents to the concept release opposed mandatory audit firm rotation. Only 6% of the respondents - mostly individuals who didn't disclose an affiliation - favored it. Comment letters were due by 14 December 2011.
PCAOB names Director of International Affairs
The PCAOB has announced that S. Bruce Wilson will join the organization as Director of the Office of International Affairs. Mr. Wilson will lead the PCAOB's efforts to negotiate and implement cooperative arrangements with non-US auditor oversight bodies. Prior to joining the PCAOB, Mr. Wilson was a member of the law firm of King & Spalding and spent eight years as the top legal officer of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)
IFRIC Update for January 2012
This edition of the IFRIC Update summarizes the IFRS Interpretations Committee meeting held in London on 17-18 January 2012, when it discussed:
- Current agenda:
- IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets - Levies charged for participation in a specific market (date of recognition of a liability)
- IAS 32 Financial Instruments: Presentation - Put options written over non-controlling interests
- IAS 2 Inventories - Long-term prepayments for inventory supply contracts
- IFRS Interpretations Committee agenda decisions
- Issues considered for Annual Improvements
- IFRS Interpretations Committee work in progress
IFRS for SMEs Update
The January 2012 edition of the IFRS for SMEs Update provides the latest news surrounding IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities (SMEs).
COSO says companies need to communicate their appetite for risk
The Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) has issued a paper, "Enterprise Risk Management - Understanding and Communicating Risk Appetite," that aims to help companies define their appetite for risk, communicate it clearly and monitor and update it continually. The amount of risk organizations are willing to accept in pursuit of their objectives is an integral part of an effective ERM system, the paper says. It provides examples of statements of risk appetite.
