Several members of the East Baton Rouge Parish School Board went into an Aug. 10 meeting skeptical of national search firms and how much help they'd be in finding a new superintendent for the school system.
Now, not so much.
"I do feel that the proposals that were made the other night were strong," Board President Barbara Freiberg said. "The firms obviously have a nice national network. I'm leaning more toward getting a national firm than I was before."
The board plans to decide Thursday whether to hire one of three firms, or whether to go in a different direction.
Before the Aug. 10 presentations, Freiberg was one of those questioning whether a search firm was necessary. The three presentations, however, left her impressed with the experience that such firms bring.
"It made me think less about getting someone local or having a university or another group do the search," she said.
Freiberg said she still wants community leaders to have an active role in the search.
Jerry Arbour, Freiberg's predecessor, oversaw the search that led to the 2009 hiring of John Dilworth. In May, Dilworth announced he won't stay beyond his three-year contract, which expires in June. Arbour said the 2009 search, handled by a search firm that did not reapply this time, was well done.
"This search will be measured against the previous search. The previous search was pretty transparent," Arbour said.
Arbour also suggested search firms free the board to deal with other school business.
But with other board members still debating alternatives, Arbour is not placing any bets.
"I don't have a feel for whether we're going to hire a search firm," he said.
The three firms that presented Aug. 10 and their suggested fees are:
• McPherson & Jacobson of Omaha, Neb., $33,500, plus up to $14,420 in expenses.
• PROACT of Wilmette, Ill., a flat $32,500.
• Ray & Associates of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, an estimated fee of $36,800. The firm also charges an hourly rate of $100 for one of their consultants and $25 for an administrative assistant, plus expenses.
All three firms have agreed to reduce those fees if the school system bypasses some or all of the development of the candidate profiles they all suggest in their proposals. Instead, the School Board is considering simply adopting a variation of the profile it used in 2009.
PROACT looks to have the closest to an inside track and it gave the longest presentation of the three. Freiberg, Arbour and board member David Tatman gave PROACT the best marks of the three presenters.
The firm handled the 2005 search that led to the hiring of Chief Academic Officer Bob Stockwell. It also handled the 2010 search that ended with the rehiring of current Chief Academic Officer Herman Brister Sr.
Gary Solomon, chief executive officer of PROACT, worked with the school system in 2008 and 2009 under a school improvement contract as part of the company Synesi & Associates, which Solomon currently serves as president. PROACT also has hired Jim Huge, a former superintendent and veteran search consultant. Both Solomon and Huge handled Thursday's presentation.
The firm said it focuses on large urban school districts, though it did handle a recent search for the local charter school group Advance Baton Rouge, which operates five schools in the greater Baton Rouge area.
Freiberg agreed that PROACT had a good presentation, but said she is still checking the firm's record before making a judgment.
PROACT, under different management, unsuccessfully sought to lead the search that led to the hiring of Dilworth.
"I wasn't very impressed with the one three years ago, but Gary Solomon and Jim Huge made a very good presentation," Arbour said.

Thirteen thousand people took to the streets of Glasgow yesterday for the second annual Glasgow Sky Ride, amongst them were Sir Chris Hoy and TV presenter, and home town girl and queen of the GMTV sofa, Lorraine Kelly.
Riders of all ages and abilities tackled an 8KM traffic free route through the centre of the city along the way they were treated to free Gatorade and could have their bikes checked over by staff from Evans Cycles, there was also an entertainment village on Glasgow green with a display of flatland BMX riding and various celebs talking about cycling. There was also plenty of entertainment along the route including British Cycling Go Ride competitions for youngsters, bicycle bingo, and a Wacky Riders fancy dress parade – some wacky bikes too, including a sofa bike, you'll never guess who they got to sit on that… Oh, you did.
All that and a chance to buy Team Sky kit in a special adidas shop.
Commenting on the day Four-time Olympic champion Sir Chris Hoy said: "It was fantastic to see so many people enjoying a day out cycling together in Glasgow and I'm sure having the unique opportunity to enjoy the traffic-free streets was a great experience for everybody. I hope today will have reminded people how much fun can be had from cycling and encouraged people to get back on their bikes."
For anyone that missed out yesterday Sky and British Cycling will be running a series of 30 smaller rides in and around Glasgow which will be running every Sunday over the coming weeks through to October the rides will include historical and art tours as well as trips in to the country side and around famous local landmarks. There will be rides to cater to all abilities of cyclist and they will be led by trained ride leaders. To find out more visit www.goskyride.com.
Yesterday's event in Glasgow and the whole programme of Sky Rides across the UK is part of Sky and British Cycling's combined effort to get 1million more people cycling regularly by the end of 2013.
Plucked from the obscurity of his London commute back in the mid-Nineties to live in Bath and edit bike mags our man made the jump to the interweb back in 2006 as launch editor of a large cycling website somewhat confusingly named after a piece of navigational equipment. He came up with the idea for road.cc mainly to avoid being told what to do… Oh dear, issues there then. Tony tries to ride his bike every day and if he doesn't he gets grumpy, he likes carbon, but owns steel, and wants titanium. When not on his bike or eating cake Tony spends his time looking for new ways to annoy the road.cc team. He's remarkably good at it.

About the Book
There are many World War One books out there that give us facts, figures, dates and places. They tell us about the soldiers who fought for our country as groups of regiments and battalions but very rarely tell us about the 'man'. Men who had families and memories,men who were scared. This book tells the personal story of a man at war. This is the diary of my Great Grandfather, Corporal Walter Davis.

Ducks Coach Bruce Boudreau was talking about the long-standing difficulty of playing that first game at home after an intense stretch on the road in Canada.
He stopped and wanted to make it abundantly clear that he was not finding fault, not a bit, after the Ducks defeated the Phoenix Coyotes, 6-2, on Wednesday night at Honda Center. Defenseman Francois Beauchemin scored twice and added an assist.
"I'm not complaining at all," Boudreau said. "We scored six goals. There's times this year we would have taken half of that and been happy."
Yes, the dry spells around Anaheim seemed to last months, not weeks, during the first half of the season. Now the goals are coming in a rush — 31 in their last seven games — and they are 6-0-1 in their last seven. The Ducks took a 2-2 game and scored four unanswered goals against the Coyotes, and goaltender Jonas Hiller is looking like the Hiller of old.

After a season marred with underperforming offense, a franchise record losing streak and 8 shutouts and counting, it is clear that the Predators are struggling upfront. The organization would have to be banana's to not draft some offense with their first round pick, especially after looking at the overly talented crop of players this year. Drouin, Mackinnon, and Nichushkin could all have challenged Yakupov for his first overall spot last year.
But even with that said, friends, I propose to you that we draft a defenseman with our 4th – 7th overall pick. Unfortunately, I think Seth Jones will be slightly out of reach, as he is likely to go 1st or 2nd. So, I present to you, for your consideration, Darnell Nurse, a 6'5, 192 pound Canadian boy who is currently playing with the Sault Ste-Marie Greyhounds in the OHL.
The trade deadline added a spectacular pick-up to the Predators already talented prospect pool. Fans were able to see the highly anticipated Filip Forsberg after his inspiring performance at the World Championships, where the 18 year old tallied 5 points in 6 games.
The team added Forsberg to their roster two days after signing Zach Buddish, of the University of Minnesota, to a two-year contact. He has 2 assists in his first 5 AHL games. Brendan Leipsic, of the WHL's first place Portland Wintethawks, is tearing up the playoffs. Next to linemate Ty Rattie and blueliner, touted first overall pick, Seth Jones, the Preds prospect has 5 goals, 10 assists, and +8 in 10 playoff games.
And how can we not mention the NashWaukee Predators who are contributing excellently to the team in the late stages of this season. Taylor Beck has looked very good, while Watson and Mueller at least look NHL ready. Bang has been arguably a bit worse, but it's easy to see that the potential is there.
Our defensive crop is a bit more lackluster. Ellis and Blum are … underperforming a bit for how highly they were drafted. Hal Gill only has a few years left. Weber is a beast while Klein and Josi hold their own. Bartley has been okay and Mueller doesn't look too bad … but the defensive prospects in Milwaukee are few and far between.
The defensive prospects in Nashville's pool are fewer and farther between(er?). In comparison to our offensive talent, they are much further behind. Garrett Noonan, with Boston University, had 19 points this year, which is still good for a defenseman, but 8 less than his NCAA-East leading 27 from the year before. Charles-Olivier Roussel is playing in the ECHL and, at 21 still has room for development.
So, with that background, I think the Preds need to draft a Defender this year. The fans might be livid … it's hard to draft a D when your team has been so bad on the O. But we have offense in our pipeline. You have to go to our 6th pick, in the 4th round of the last draft to find our first Defensive pick (Vainonen, 118 ovr). Since 2010 we have only drafted 6 defenseman in our 24 draft picks. Only 3 of them were in the first four rounds (out of 13 picks.
Nurse probably isn't NHL ready. He will be 18 at the start of next season, which allows him another year, two if needed, in the OHL. But he is a big guy and is highly rated as a smart defender who is positionally sound. His big body is great for laying on the hits; which will probably stand out at training camp. Most mock drafts have Nurse going anywhere from 6th to 9th … just about where the Preds are drafting. If the Predators felt like they could steal him late, they could trade their first rounder for a slightly later first round and a bit more of a return. I discussed this a bit with @MusicCityVIc, but it would take a whole other post to delve into.
Hit me up on twitter @canadaspredsfan or in the comments to let me know how upset you would be if the Preds didn't draft offense in the first round.

Explaining Postcommunist Economic Performance
This article critiques neoliberal transition theory from a neoclassical sociological perspective. Neoliberals argue that postcommunist economic failure is the result of inadequate adherence to neoliberal precepts. This paper argues that the neoliberal policy package of ???Shock Therapy??? (consisting of the radical transition to a market economy through rapid and extensive price and trade liberalization, stringent monetary and fiscal stabilization, and the implementation of a mass privatization program) creates severe supply-and-demand shocks for enterprises, inducing firm failure. This leads to a fiscal crisis for the state, and an erosion of its capacity and bureaucratic character. This in turn reacts back on the enterprise sector, since the state can no longer support the institutions necessary for the effective functioning of capitalist economies. The neoliberal theory is tested against a neoclassical sociological theory by examining the experience of 12 postcommunist countries and two reform Asian communist countries.

Samsung Announces New Tablet W/ SENS-240
Samsung has so far been quite successful with the tablets and Android phones it has created. With continued success, the company has announced a new product today called the hybrid tablet with the SENS-240. The devices were built to work with a Samsung Android smartphone or tablet. The SENS-240 is of course a car navigation system that can connect to a normal phone using bluetooth. With the SENS-240 connected to the smartphone/tablet, it is able to send voice, data, voice search, and video and play the content on the seven inch screen.
This will be much more useful for Android smartphones, but it is nice to know that it is compatible with a tablet, if one would need that connection. The seven inch screen displays an 800 x 480 resolution. The tablet also features 256MB of RAM, USB 2.0 host, and an SD card slot.
Users will be able to use the smartphone or tablet as a remote control for both the tablet and SENS-240. Yes, we are talking about controlling a tablet with a tablet. No information yet on pricing or a release date. I think users would get the most functionality of this tablet by hooking it up or modifying it to fit in their car, assuming you don't already have an LCD screen in your car. Aside from that, I can't envision too many uses for this new gadget, but as I always say, options are good!

I think there's something seriously wrong with me. I've always considered others' feelings before my own (ex. having sex with someone even though I didn't want to because I thought saying no would hurt them). However I never thought it was a serious concern until now. My boyfriend cheated on me and I cried but I honestly don't know why I was upset because as soon as he started crying I wanted to comfort him. I left and said we were done but when I got home I had a message from him saying he'd never been so sad in his life and that he didn't want to lose me so I told him it was okay and we're together again. I'm not angry at him at all and it's the next day I'm just scared that he'll do it again. I don't understand how I feel. I'm very confused. How did you feel when you were cheated on? Does how I am reacting make sense?
Most Helpful Guy
You are too compassionate and caring of other. I agree that love is a powerful thing and wanting to make your SO happy is something we often put before what we as an individual feel and want. But there comes a time when you sacrifice so much for them that things sort to feel one sided and you end up in a depressed state or with mix emotions like you have now, just remember that pleasing him is all well and good but there needs to be a line and he crossed it. Some things are never worth looking over and past, and you need to firmly stand your ground10|10|0
Most Helpful Girl
Emotionally yeah I have... You have to stop putting your all for those who will not do the same for you. I'd forgive my.. EX lol but I wouldn't take him back. Know one accidentally fall's into kitty cat or onto a banana or eggplant. I just think you're mad (crazy) to comfort HIM-_- after he misused your trust, cause I'm pretty sure he didn't give a fudgesicle about you or your feeling's as he was slathering that chick with baby gravy. if you are scared he will do it again, WHYYYYY give him another chance if you don't trust him. What is a healthy relationship without trust and communication and love? yeah people learn from their mistake's, but I think you are ok with this situation a little too soon.00|00|0

Dragon_avalon replied to Mahaboo's topic in Help & NewbiesHello everyone. I have been a lurker on ocremix for a good long while now (probably 4 years or longer). I must say its long since overdue that I get involved with the community of amazing people that make up this site. I find it fantastic that ocremix exists, and I absolutely unconditionally agree with the goal of the site. Music is indeed the most universal language, and game music has vast amounts to say about many, many genres. As far as music from games goes, I have been listening to game soundtracks since i was 3 years old. My first one was final fantasy's original nintendo soundtrack back in 1988, when i first got my curious hands on a nintendo controller in my older brother's room. Ever since that day, I have been a huge fan of games, the tales they tell, the characters trials that they face and overcome, and the majestic music that fills the scenes with emotion, and breathes life into the game itself. I hope to see you all around the forum! (i know i probably will anyways xD )

pound would 1le that derived from the juices of the cooKed meat, which, as he states in the specification, passes into the sugar, and converts it into a syrup of meat, which is absorbed by the dried fruits. The most satisfactory criterion afforded by the description to determine when the compound is sufficiently free from moisture to answer the terms of the claim is found in the fact that no free liquid is used in preparing it, and the only moisture present is what is produced by the juices of the cooked meats and dried fruits. It seems very clear that the condensed mince meat made by the defendants is not compounded dry, within the meaning of the claim. It is made by adding to the ingredients described in the patent 140 pounds of boiled cider to each 1,000 or 1,200 pounds of the compound. This is an addition in volume of about 12 or 14 gallons of liquid, and is more than the other ingredients will absorb. When packed, it is a li'lensibly moist product, which will wet paper, and destroy paper boxes, and for this reason it is wrapped in a waxed paper, to prevent the moisture from injuring the outer package. The bill is dismissed, with costs.
THE ETHEL. HODGKINS v. WELSH et aI. (District Court. E. D. Pennsylvania. January 19, 1894.)
No. 74 of 1893.
In determining whether there is a shortage ot cargo consisting of bagl'l of sugar, both the consignee's output count and the. intake count as shown by the bill of lading are controlled, when the deficiency alleged is only three bags, by proof that the hatches were sealed after the sugar was in, and opened only by the port wardens on the vessel's arrival, and that there was no opportunity for loss or abstraction.
In Admiralty. Libel by Frank M. Hodgkins, master of the bark Ethel, against S. & J. Welsh, to recover a balance of freight, which respondents assume to withhold because of shortage of cargo. Libel sustained. Curtis Tilton, for libelant. Richard C. McMurtoil, for respondents. BUTLER, District Judge. The only question involved is one of fact. The respondents seek to have the value of three bags of sugar, (a part of the cargo,) $41.40, deducted from the freight, on the ground that the delivery was short to this extent. The bill of lading acknowledges the receipt of 6,443 bags, and the respondent's output tally shows only 6,440 bags. If there was nothing more the claim would be allowed. While the ship is liable only for the cargo received the bill of lading has the force of a written receipt, and binds her until· disproved. To discredit it and the respondent's output tally the libelant invites our attention to a dispute which existed respecting the intake count, and to a discl'ep-
vol. 59.
ancy in the several counts, and to the ma.nner; lin which the respond.ent1!l' :output count was made. That there. is danger of mistake ,in!;counting where 80 many items or packages are involved, even under the most favorable circllllJ.stances, is apparent. Under the circumstances attending the respondent's count the danger is greatly increased. Loading the scales while they were being unloadedtand estimating each load atsu bags, might well lead to mistake. Extraordinary care would be required to avoid some commingling of the loads. ! If the case rested here it would not be free from doubt. The libelant has gone further, however, and produced evidence that he delivered the entire cargo taken in. If the evidence is ·sufficient to est8iblish the fact it settles the controversy. I thinkit is sufficient-The master's testimony covers the entire ground..,..;.shows tL.a.t the hatches were sealed up alter the sugar was,taken in, and were not opened until the port 'wardens unsealed them, after the vessel was ;docked and the respondents called to receive theirsugar--'-that no p\»,t was touched from the time she sailed until her arrival here, and that there was therefore nQ opportunity for the loss or abstraction of any part of the cargo. I regard this testimony as more reliable than either of the counts made, and therefore accept it as concl,usive. The libel is therefore sustai:ned.
HODGKINS v. WELSH et aL
(Dlstrlct Court, E. D. Pennsylvanill. 'January 26, 1894.)
No. 14 of 1893.
AlIMIRALTY-COSTS-PROCTOR'S FE'E-SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS.
In summary proceedings, where the amount is less than $50, and libelant's proctor takes the benefit of the rule of court dispensing with libelant's stipulation for costs, no proctor's tee can be taxed in his favor, except by special allowt\nce by the court, on a showing of special circumstances; and the allowance will not be made merely because he had the testimony taken before a' commissioner, Instead of before the court, as he might have done.
In Admiralty. Libel by Frank M. Hodgkins, master of the bark Ethel, against S. & J. Welsh, to recover a balance of freight. The libel was heretofore sustained, (59 Fed. 473,) and the cause is now heard Qn motion for allowance of costs. Motion dismissed. Curtis Tilton, for lib.elant. Richard C. McMurtoil, for respondent. BUTLER, District Judge. This was a summary proceeding, the amount being under $50. The libelant's proctor so regarded it, and took the benefit of rule 72 which dispenses with the libelant's stipulation for costs. No proctor's costs were therefore taxable without special allowance by the court. Such costs were

Ciara Stripping Down To A Lacy Catsuit Will Make Your Holiday So Much Warmer
Sitting by the fire isn't the only way to feel warm and cozy this holiday season.
If you want your home to feel toasty, project a video of Ciara stripping down to a lacy catsuit on your living room mantel.
The image of her shaking her hips and touching her breasts will make your loved ones more comfortable than ever. Instead of buying gloves for Grandma, give her the gift of Ciara's ass this Christmas.
The 31-year-old singer was featured in Love magazine's video Advent calendar on day 15, and the video is hot as hell.
In the clip, she starts off fully clothed wearing a long coat and hat before she removes both items.
Then, we see Ciara dance in platform boots and a bodysuit while creepy unicorns float around her in the background.
Forget the fire — you can roast chestnuts off Ciara's smokin' bod.
Ciara also showed off her sexy suit on Instagram and captioned the pic, "Good morning."
Well good morning to you, too. 😉
The artist — who is expecting her first baby with husband Russell Wilson — joined Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, Irina Shayk, Rita Ora and Ireland Baldwin in Love's Advent calendar.
Kendall Jenner freed the nip during her sexy shoot…
…while a sweaty Bella Hadid taught us some dirty aerobics.
Irina Shayk covered herself in clay while making pottery…
…and Rita Ora showed off some major sideboob.
Keep it up, ladies. You're doing great!
My personal favorite Love magazine Advent calendar video was when Kendall Jenner dressed up like a shark last year and took a steamy shower.
Please watch that and tell me you don't feel weird inside.
Welp, there are only 10 more days until Christmas… meaning there's plenty of time for things to get just as weird this year.
Can't wait!

Clarke County is a county in the U.S. state of Georgia. As of the 2000 census, the population was 101,489. The 2007 Census Estimate shows a population of 114,063.[1] Its county seat is Athens,[2] with which it is a consolidated city-county. Clarke County is the smallest county in Georgia in terms of land area.
The Athens-Clarke County (balance)[3] is the principal city of and is included in the Athens-Clarke County, Georgia Metropolitan Statistical Area.
History Edit
Clarke County was created in 1801 by an act of the Georgia General Assembly on December 5. The county was named after Revolutionary War hero Elijah Clarke and included 250 square miles (647.5 km2) of land that was originally part of Jackson County. Clarke was most recognized for being credited with the 1779 victory at the Battle of Kettle Creek in Wilkes County. The Elijah Clarke Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument in his name in the middle of Broad Street in Athens that still stands today.
As the population of the county grew alongside the University of Georgia in the early 19th century, its agricultural and cotton industries prospered. The adjacent plantation harvests flowed through city mills and were bolstered by the natural resources of the Oconee River. These early manufacturing and textile production operations were big industries in Clarke County and in Athens, particularly so once the railroad came to the area beginning in 1841. Athens and Clarke County were second only to Savannah and Chatham County in capital invested in manufacturing during the 1840s.
Two skirmishes took place in Clarke County during the American Civil War in 1864, one near Barber's Creek and the other off of Mitchell's Road. An occupation garrison arrived in Athens on May 29 and a provost-marshal government was set up temporarily. Formal military occupation of the area ended before the end of 1864, although federal occupation continued until early 1866.
The original Clarke County Commission had selected Watkinsville, now in Oconee County, as the county seat. All county offices and county business, including the courts and jail, later moved north to Athens when the seat was moved on November 24 of 1871. For four years, county meetings were held in the old town hall in Athens until 1876 when a new courthouse was constructed in the area bounded by Prince Avenue, Hill Street and Pope Street. The current courthouse in use today was later erected on the corner of Washington and Jackson Streets downtown in 1914.
On February 12, 1875, to placate county residents still angry over the relocation of the county seat to Athens three years earlier, the state legislature created Oconee County from the southwest section of Clarke County and named Watkinsville as its seat. Oconee gained one-third of Clarke's population and three-fifths of its land.
During this time, the title of "commissioner of roads and revenue" was proscribed by the legislature to what would be known as county commissioners. The county, as an extension of the state, would operate welfare and health programs, build and maintain roads and conduct courts of law that were part of the state justice system.
In 1973, the Georgia legislature passed legislation on March 29 increasing the number of county commissioners from three to five and allocating a position for a county administrator.
In 1990, the citizens of Athens and Clarke County voted to unify the two governments creating Athens-Clarke County, becoming only the second unified city-county government in the state of Georgia after Columbus-Muscogee County. The citizens of Augusta and Richmond County voted likewise to join their governments in 1996, creating the Augusta-Richmond County unified government.
Clarke County is located at 33°57′19″N 83°22′59″W / 33.95528, -83.38306 (33.955464, -83.383245).[4]
According to the 2000 census, the county has a total area of 121.28 square miles (314.1 km2), of which 120.79 square miles (312.8 km2) (or 99.60%) is land and 0.49 square miles (1.3 km2) (or 0.40%) is water.[5]
Clarke County is the smallest of Georgia's 159 counties.

Though no format has been prescribed for the profit and loss account, Part II to Schedule VI of the Companies Act, 1956 gives a list of items which must be disclosed in every profit & loss account. Every profit and loss account of a company must give a true and fair view of the company's profit or loss for the financial year for which it is drawn up.
Adoption of Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account
The Board of directors must present to the shareholders of the company, the balance sheet and a profit and loss account for the financial year at every annual general meeting. In the case of companies which are not commercial organisations such as Section 25 companies, instead if the profit & loss account, an income & expenditure account may be prepared. The profit and loss account to be placed in the FIRST annual general meeting should relate to a period beginning with the incorporation of the company and ending with a day, the interval between which and the date of the meeting does not exceed nine months. In case of subsequent annual general meetings, the profit and loss account should relate to a period beginning with a day immediately after the period for which the preceding profit & loss account was made and ending with a day, the interval between which and the date of the meeting should not exceed six months. The financial year may be more or less than a calendar year, but it must not exceed 15 months or with the special permission of the Registrar, 18 months.
If any director fails to take all reasonable steps to comply with the aforesaid requirements he is, in respect of each offence liable to be punished with imprisonment up to six months or with fine up to Rs.1,000/- or with both.
Authentication of Balance Sheet and Profit & Loss Account
The balance sheet and profit & loss account of a company must be signed on behalf of the Board of directors by two directors out of whom one must be the managing director, where there is one and the manager, or secretary, if any. The balance sheet and profit and loss account must be approved by the Board of directors before they are submitted to the auditors for the purpose of audit. The report of the auditors must be attached to the balance sheet and profit & loss account.
The company and every officer of the company who is in default with the above provisions shall be punishable with the fine which may extend to Rs.500/-, if:
any copy of balance sheet and profit and loss account is issued, circulated or published, without being signed as required ; or
any copy of balance sheet is issued, circulated or published, without there being annexed or attached thereto, a copy each of the following :-
the profit and loss account;
any accounts, reports or statements pertaining to subsidiary companies which are required to be attached to the balance sheet,
the auditors' report; and
the Report of the Board of Directors
Circulation of Balance Sheet and Auditors' Report
A copy of every balance sheet, profit and loss account, auditors' report and every other document required to be annexed or attached to the balance sheet must be sent not less than twenty-one days before the general meeting to every member, to every trustee for debenture holders, and to all other persons who are entitled to have a notice of general meetings. In the case of a company not having a share capital, the above documents need not be sent to a member, or debenture holder who is not entitled to have notice of general meetings.
In case of listed companies, the company may keep the aforesaid documents available for inspection at its registered office during working hours for a period of twenty-one days before the meeting and send to every member and trustee for debentureholders only a summarised statement containing the salient features of these documents in the prescribed format.
Filing of Annual Accounts with the Registrar
Every company must file with the Registrar within 30 days from the day on which the annual accounts, auditor's report and the director's report were presented at the annual general meeting, three certified copies of these documents signed by the managing director, manager or secretary of the company or if there be none of these by a director of the company.
These accounts may be inspected and copies thereof may be obtained by any member of the public at the Registrar of Companies on payment of the requisite fee. However, no person other than a member of the company is entitled to inspect, or obtain copies, of the profit and loss account in the case of the following types of companies :-
a private company which is not a subsidiary of public company;
a private company whose entire paid-up capital is held only by one or more bodies corporate incorporated outside India; or
a private company which is deemed to be a public company by virtue of Section 43A, if the Central Government directs that it is not in the public interest that any person other than a member of the company should be entitled to inspect or obtain copies of the profit and loss account of the company.
In case the annual general meeting of a company for any year has not been held, , 3 copies of the balance sheet and profit and loss account, duly signed, within thiry days from the latest day on or before which that meeting should have been held in accordance with the provisions of the Act must be filed with the Registrar of Companies. If for any reason, the annual general meeting before which a balance sheet is laid does not adopt it, or is adjourned without adopting the balance sheet or if the annual general meeting of a company for any year has not been held, a statement of the fact and reasons thereof must also be annexed to the balance sheet and to the copies thereof to be filed with the Registrar.
If default is made in complying with the above provisions, then the company and every officer of the company who is in default shall be punishable with fine which may extend to Rs.50 for every day during the period the default continues.

Anyone who follows this column regularly might accuse me of being a slave to all that is white — and with a name like "Snow," that criticism does seem justified. So in order to get it all out of my system (at least for a few months), this month I'm covering all things white. There is a zen-like satisfaction in a white product — instead of imposing a particular chromatic texture that, in the end, has a great deal of influence on how the product is viewed, white lets the industrial design shine through.
Let's kick things off with a lighting accessory, something that quickly comes to mind when thinking of white, in the form of the Hanabi light from Nendo's Oki Sato. I swear that its color wasn't the first thing that attracted me to it (but it didn't hurt). The Hanabi — Japanese for "fireworks" and made up of the characters for "flower" and "fire" — lives up to its moniker by quite literally "blooming" as it gets switched on, taking on a shape that lets it spread its luminosity.
I'll also point out that Nendo is behind the interior of one of the brighter spots of the so-far disappointing Omotesando Hills shopping complex, the design-friendly select shop Idea Frames. It's just a shame they had to make it next to impossible to find the store, burying it in the lower levels with no direct connection to the rest of the complex.
For more information, see nendo.jp or call (03) 3954-5554
This time, I wholeheartedly admit that our lust for all things white was front and center when it came to selecting the Kai series of pots and kettles from Kyowa. Designed by Makoto Koizumi, the Kai series provides a beautiful blend of white exterior with natural wood handles, and is just the kind of thing I need to add a sense of style to my kitchen (to put alongside last month's electric kitchen accessories I featured from Amadana). Already getting mentions in plenty of style magazines, there seems to be a clear concensus that this collection is a hit. With the different pieces averaging 5,000 yen, I'd say it's a fair price to pay — consider me sold.
For more information, see www.kyowaweb.co.jp/
In the bag
Launched last year by D&Department, the 60VISION brand has a simple mission: bringing back classic '60s Japanese designs by way of the original makers. To do so, they've managed to get those original makers to not only start manufacturing the original products again, but to also offer some news twists, mostly through added colors or patterns. Covering all aspects of interior decor, the brand goes one step further by also incorporating lifestyle-related items, as in the luggage and bags of Ace 60 (from original maker Ace). All bags from the Ace 60 collection come in a variety of colors, but of course, I'm favoring the white ones, which I think offer just the right amount of simplicity and stylishness to an already elegant product. And besides, white goes well with pretty much everything, so it's easy to accessorize. For the best look at all the items and different collections of 60VISION, we recommend checking out the special space devoted to it at Shibuya's Loft (and of course D&Department's own stores in Tokyo and Osaka).
See www.d-department.jp/ or call (03) 5758-3851.
A product roundup wouldn't seem complete without some sort of electronic presence — this is Tokyo after all — and my pick in that category goes to the new digital cordless phone (JD-S10CL/CW) from Sharp. Start with a simple form and compact shape, add a wide range of functionality through a display screen — it almost feels like a paired-down mobile phone — and finish off with a base that lets you easily reposition the phone facing any way you want (the charging base rotates 360 degrees). We could point out that the phone also comes in black and red, but by now you must realize where our true loyalties lie.

Chinese aerospace conglomerate AVIC I unveiled the ARJ21-700 regional jet during a December 21 rollout ceremony in Shanghai for a select group of official guests and government-approved media. Officials used the occasion to reveal a new Chinese name for the 90-seat airplane–Xiang Feng, or Flying Phoenix–and announce a 100-aircraft commitment from Kunpeng Airlines, the new Xian-based domestic carrier launched in October with Bombardier CRJ200s by China's Shenzhen Airlines and Mesa Air Group of the U.S. AVIC I Commercial Aircraft (ACAC) now claims to hold orders and MoUs for more than 170 ARJ21s.
China plans to fly the airplane in March and deliver the first airplane to launch customer Shandong Airlines in September next year. Although it has yet to secure a Western customer, ACAC plans to certify the airplane to international standards with the help of a new FAA office in Shanghai. Some 40 percent of the ARJ21's components come from outside China, including its GE CF34-10A turbofans and Rockwell Collins Pro Line avionics.
Meanwhile, Canada's Bombardier could help develop the fuselage for the planned 105-seat ARJ21-900 under a proposed partnership in which ACAC would spend $400 million in R&D and plant construction to support the Canadian company's still theoretical C Series.

DETROIT Detroit police Chief Ralph Godbee resigned from his post on Monday after his affair with an internal affairs officer came to light.
Mayor Dave Bing announced at a press conference the 44-year-old Godbee submitted a letter of retirement, effective immediately, from the job he's held since 2010.
Bing said Godbee told him about his decision to retire after a 25-year career during a meeting Sunday. The mayor said he did not force Godbee to leave but believes "this was the right decision by the chief." Bing said Godbee was "contrite" and "embarrassed."
"Yes, he did apologize ... he felt he let the citizens of Detroit down," Bing said at a news conference.
The former Detroit police chief also apologized for letting the mayor down. He also pledged to still be active in the community, school system, communication colleges and churches, adding his "mission is to continue to work to make this city the best it can be."
"I got to know Chief Godbee well over his tenure and respected him as a person who was very involved in our community, respected in our community," Bing said according to CBS station WWJ-TV in Detroit. "It bothers me, it hurts me a great deal that it has come to this. I worry about him as a person and hope that he is able to get on with his life."
Godbee, who is in the middle of a divorce, has not publicly commented on the revelations of his affair with Angelica Robinson, who is currently married, WWJ-TV said. There was no mention of the scandal in an eight-paragraph letter dated Monday from Godbee to Bing that announced the former chief's retirement. A copy of the letter was released to reporters after the news conference.
Bing placed Godbee on a 30-day suspension last week pending an investigation into the claims by Robinson's attorney that the 37-year-old woman had wanted the relationship to end but that Godbee did not.
At the news conference, Bing said assistant Chief Chester Logan will serve as interim chief. Logan had assumed Godbee's responsibilities during the suspension. Bing said a national search for a new chief is planned.
"I'm humbled, I'm honored," Logan said during the press conference according to the Detroit Free Press. "I'm ready to roll up my sleeve and get started today."
Angelica Robinson's lawyer revealed that she and Godbee had been seeing each other for about a year, but Godbee was upset when she wanted to end the relationship.
Angelica Robinson posted a photo of herself with her service weapon in her mouth on the social media site Twitter after learning Godbee was at a weekend police conference with another woman, attorney David Robinson has said.
He said Godbee had other officers locate Angelica Robinson and put her under surveillance.
Godbee was appointed to the $140,400-a-year job by Bing in 2010. Godbee succeeded former Wayne County sheriff Warren Evans as police chief in 2010.
Bing hired Evans a year earlier, but fired him after he took part in a promotional video for a cable police reality show. Bing later said he also fired Evans because the chief was romantically involved with Lt. Monique Patterson.
Godbee also had a romantic relationship with Patterson before she began dating Evans and when she was Godbee's subordinate. At that time, Bing issued a statement saying he wouldn't fire Godbee for having an affair, WWJ-TV reported.
Godbee joined the department in 1987 and rose to assistant chief in 2007. He later retired only to be reappointed assistant chief in July 2009 when Evans was hired.

It must be a law: design and real estate pictures can't show people.
On this sentimental fathers' day I say to heck with that. Houses are for people. We proved it yet again with a week of family house guests.
It started with BBQ and pies. Cristin and Linda drove in via High Point and brought BBQ from Kepley's Bar-B-Q and peaches from Abbot Farms near Gaffney, home of the Big Peach.
Not all the loved ones could make it.
Still life with peaches, BBQ sauce, and store-bought crusts. Has a kitchen ever looked prettier?
Cheerwine, painted chairs, cupid, and laminate still get job done. We don' need no stinkn' granite.
There is a lot of mileage on that burner.
Puppies, pie plates and crusts compliment the counter.
Silver, yellow green, gray, and white are good colors for our kitchen. We shucked the corn but we didn't have room in our tummies.We cut up some watermelon and cantaloupe.
Friends and loved ones arrived and it was really hard to wait.
I think the aroma of Kepley's BBQ is imprinted in my genes. The pharaohs would have loved it. This picture makes my mouth water.
Linda and Cristin cut back on the sugar so the pie was a bit tart, perfect with the ice cream.
Kepley's hush puppies are slightly sweet, they crunch but aren't hard. They bring tears to the eyes of many High Pointers. I think they are fine but my son dreams about them.
They came, they baked, we ate.We saved some for my brother Ken who arrived the next day.

Your Jaguar dealership isn't the only place to locate genuine or original equipment quality repair parts to fix your XKR. The vehicle in your driveway is head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to all the cars, trucks, and SUVs currently being driven today. Anyone who operates a Jaguar knows that when it comes to maintaining their vehicle only the most superior replacement parts will do. Car aficionados know that luxury is built into each Jaguar, and know that only the highest quality replacement XKR parts will suffice when maintenance needs to be done.
Engines need to keep cool if they are to maintain operational status. That's why your Jaguar XKR engine has a network of cooling hoses transferring a mixture of water and ethylene glycol throughout the engine. The radiator hoses under your hood connect the radiator to the water pump and to the engine block, while other coolant hoses send the ethylene glycol mixture through the thermostat, return the coolant to the expansion tank, or by-pass the heater hose flange. If a Jaguar XKR radiator or coolant hose bursts, then your engine will lose its ability to maintain the prescribed operating temperature; leading to engine failure.
