King of the Trees safeguarding Taiwan's forests
With his blue stetson and thick grey jacket, Lai Pei-yuan looks like a modern-day cowboy, but rather than raising cattle, he grows trees.
The 57-year-old Taiwanese entrepreneur made his fortune in transportation and property, but his real mission in life is to reinstate at least some of the forests that once covered most of the island.
"It was just a simple idea I had," said Mr Lai from a hillside near his native Taichung city in central Taiwan.
"If I was to safeguard Taiwan, I would have to plant trees."
For the past three decades, Mr Lai has bought and planted thousands of trees every year, often with his own hands.
Today his efforts can be seen in the form of 130 hectares of mountainsides near Taichung covered with 270,000 deep-rooted trees, representing indigenous species such as Taiwan incense cedar and cinnamomum micranthum.
'Legendary person'
"He's a legendary person," President Ma Ying-jeou said during a recent visit to Taichung, when he met Mr Lai.
"No one else in Taiwan has planted so many trees."
It is an endeavour that has cost him hundreds of millions of New Taiwan dollars (millions of US dollars), but it has helped him achieve fame as "King of the Trees."
He's a legendary person. No one else in Taiwan has planted so many trees.Taiwan's President, Ma Ying-jeou
He says he was inspired by seeing how rapid industrialisation laid waste to Taiwan in the post-war era of super-high growth.
"Many, many trees growing in the mountains were cut down and exported," Mr Lai said.
It had begun under Japanese colonial rule from 1895 to 1945, when ancient trees were cut down in the name of progress, a process that continued until the closing years of the 20th century.
Only in 1989 did the Taiwanese authorities ban the logging of primeval forests, but by that time it was almost too late.
The results were devastating.
In the course of the 20th century, forest coverage fell from 90 percent to 55 percent, according to one government survey.
Mr Lai nevertheless saw it as an opportunity to build something that would leave a legacy for posterity.
"I had seen how companies prospered and declined. I felt I wanted to do something which could last for generations to come," he said.
Early days
Mr Lai began his crusade for the trees when he was about 30, setting out every morning to plant trees on plots of land that he owned.
Often his family would only see him after sunset. His children were puzzled.
"When my brother and I were young, we had no idea what Dad was doing. Our impression was that he was on the mountains all the time," his elder son Lai Chien-chung said.
I had seen how companies prospered and declined. I felt I wanted to do something which could last for generations to come.Taiwan's 'King of the Trees', Lai Pei-yuan
Today Lai Chien-chung sells coffee beans, grown in his father's forests, under the brand name "Coffee & Tree".
He also opened his first coffee shop in downtown Taichung last year.
Around 95 percent of the profits from the coffee sales have been used to finance the maintenance of the forests and the planting of trees, Lai Chien-chung said.
To ensure sustainable management of his forests, Lai Pei-yuan pledges no deforestation and sell-off.
Nor will he give the forests to his family after his death, he said.
They will instead be managed by a non-profit foundation set up by Lai.
Meanwhile, he can take pleasure in the fact that others are following in his footsteps.
Since 2008, Taiwanese individuals, companies and government bodies have jointly planted more than 23,000 hectares of trees, according to Taiwan's forestry bureau as part of President Ma's iTaiwan projects launched in 2009.

Just turn to your kitchen for inspiration—chances are, your cupboards are already lined with the following ingredients that, when mixed together, create yummy concoctions that are deliciously good for your skin. Feel free to nibble as you nourish! Olive oil: This common pantry staple is liquid gold for any natural face- or body-mask lover. Extra virgin olive oil (and make sure it's unrefined extra virgin because this has gone through the least amount of processing and contains no added chemicals or artificial flavors) is loaded with vitamins E and K and squalene (a nourishing fatty acid), which help moisturize skin. Pair it with sea salt for an exfoliating scrub, with strawberries for radiance, or with milk and turmeric to soothe irritated skin. Brown sugar: There's nothing sweeter than a brown sugar scrub. It smells great and leaves your face smooth and supple. Because it has smaller particles than white refined sugar, it's a gentle exfoliator. According to Livestrong, brown sugar contains glycolic acid, which fights bacteria, and it is a natural humectant, which retains moisture. Plus, it can be paired with a variety of ingredients you might already have in your cupboard. For a particularly nice scrub, combine Manuka honey, brown sugar, coconut oil and a drop of your favorite-smelling essential oil for a special personalized treat. Sea salt: Not only does a pinch of sea salt make just about any food taste better, it also does wonders for your skin. These days you can find sea salt offerings at every spa and in a myriad of expensive products like cleansing oils, scrubs and moisturizing creams. But really, anyone with a bottle of sea salt at home can benefit from its antimicrobial and absorbent assets. "Minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and potassium [in salt] help moisturize and firm skin," Ashely Brown, Too Cool for School's director of education, told Allure. Mix about half a cup of sea salt with our friend olive oil and a few drops of essential oil and you have the perfect homemade scrub. For a delectable recipe, combine equal parts raw honey and pink Himalayan sea salt for an exfoliating homemade face mask. Bananas: What's in bananas that make this fruit so awesome for skin? It's loaded with vitamin C, vitamin A, antioxidants and manganese—all of which help with boosting hydration, reducing inflammation and fighting acne. Be sure to mash up and use the banana right away; otherwise it will turn a rather unappealing brown. An easy DIY banana face mask recipe for brightening is one banana, a tablespoon of honey and a splash of lemon juice. Honey: As you might have noticed, honey pairs well with every above-mentioned ingredient. A natural antibacterial, honey is full of antioxidants, so it's helpful for acne, cleanses pores and provides a moisturizing boost. In addition to all the tantalizing concoctions mentioned above, you can also do a light homemade face mask of pure raw honey—just smooth it onto damp skin and rinse off after about 30 minutes. Important note: Always test these ingredients on a patch of skin before full immersion, just in case you have a reaction. If you don't have the time or patience to raid your kitchen pantry for an at-home spa day, check out our skin care line, made with organic botanical ingredients. Pantry Staples for Homemade Facials While spa treatments are so relaxing, there's no need to book a pricey facial to reap the benefits of a skin-softening treatment. Just turn to your kitchen for inspiration! Tweet

ALL CLOTHING - H&M (Not sponsored)
Summer where have you gone?!?
The weather in the UK has been terrible this summer, thank god I had two weeks in sunny Malta to see me through. It really feels like a lifetime ago I got back from my trip but only a month has passed! Here is another look from my travels to cheer you up on this miserable evening.
I wore these super bright red trousers for an evening of sightseeing in Valletta, Maltas capital city. I wanted to be comfy but of course still bring the fashion, these trousers from H&M ticked all the boxes. I don't believe they are in stock anymore but they do have a newer version without the tie waist.
Malta really is the island of beautiful doorways, I mean check out this beauty! If your into the hashtag #ihavethisthingwithdoors then Malta is a must visit. Valletta is also a must visit, the city is recognised as a UNESCO world heritage site and has also been selected as the European capital of culture 2018.
I will post more looks from Malta over the coming weeks but for now i'm off to have a cup of tea and snuggle on the sofa like its mid October.

HVAD LATERAL™ Study
The first clinical trial of a full-support ventricular assist device to utilize an implant technique other than sternotomy, the HVAD LATERAL™ Study is a prospective, multi-center, IDE, single-arm clinical trial that has enrolled 145 patients at more than 30 hospitals in North America. The trial population includes patients with end-stage heart failure who have not responded to standard medical management and who are eligible for cardiac transplantation. Completion of enrollment was announced on April 27, 2016. (Read Press Release)
The trial will evaluate thoracotomy (study arm) and median sternotomy (control arm) on survival, adverse event rates, quality of life metrics, perioperative bleeding and transfusions, length of stay, and time on cardiopulmonary bypass. Endpoints will be compared between the two groups of patients. The primary survival endpoint will be measured at six months post-implant and compared to a performance goal.
The principal investigators for the trial are Ed McGee, M.D., FACS, Director of the Heart Transplant & Ventricular Assist Device Program and Professor, Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Loyola University Chicago Stritch School of Medicine and Anson Cheung, M.D. BSc MSc FRCSC, Surgical Director of the Cardiac Transplant Program of British Columbia and Clinical Professor, Department of Surgery at The University of British Columbia.
U.S. ENDURANCE™ Supplemental Trial
The most detailed study of destination therapy with continuous flow VADs as well as comparison of outcomes and adverse events with the two most widely-used devices.
In this investigational device exemption supplement to the original ENDURANCE, HeartWare will enroll up to 310 patients receiving the HVAD® System, as well as up to an additional 155 control patients using a randomization scheme consistent with the original ENDURANCE protocol. Patients will be followed for 12 months after implant. HeartWare intends to incorporate the data from this new cohort into an anticipated Pre-Market Approval (PMA) Application seeking approval for the HVAD System for the Destination Therapy indication.
The protocol for this cohort is designed to confirm clinical observations that sites adhering to more regular monitoring and management of patient blood pressure witnessed a notably lower incidence of neurological events. Enrollment at the 50 participating centers began late 2013.
U.S. ENDURANCE™ Destination Therapy Trial
HeartWare's first destination therapy clinical trial cohort, ENDURANCE, is a prospective, randomized, un-blinded, multi-center, non-inferiority clinical trial to evaluate the use of the HVAD® System as a destination therapy in advanced heart failure patients. During the Opening Plenary Session at the 35th Annual International Society for Heart and Lung Transplantation in Nice, France on April 16, 2015, HeartWare announced that data from ENDURANCE successfully demonstrated that this trial achieved the primary endpoint.
Between August 2010 and May 2012, 446 patients were enrolled at 48 U.S. hospital centers and were randomly selected to receive either the HVADSystem or, as part of a control group, any alternative Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for Destination Therapy, in a 2:1 ratio. The study population was selected from patients with end-stage heart failure who have not responded to standard medical management and who are ineligible for cardiac transplantation.
The primary endpoint is survival free from disabling stroke (Modified Rankin Score ≥4) at two years, defined as alive on the originally-implanted device, transplanted or explanted due to patient recovery. Investigators for the study have reported that 55.0% of the investigational device patients attained the primary endpoint of the trial. In comparison, 57.4% of patients in the control arm achieved primary endpoint of the study. Based on these results for the primary endpoint of the ENDURANCE study, non-inferiority of the investigational device compared to control, was established (p=0.0060).
HVAD System improvements, including sintering of the inflow cannula, resulted in improved outcomes of investigational device patients. Among the 200 patients who received the investigational device with a sintered inflow cannula, an enhancement granted by the FDA in April 2011, 57.5% successfully attained the primary endpoint. Today, the HVAD System, featuring the HVAD® Pump is only available with the enhanced sintered inflow.
In addition, patients had significant and sustained improvements in NYHA heart failure classification and quality of life measures after implantation of the HVAD System.
Other secondary endpoints, including adverse event profiles, were also collected.
ENDURANCE is the largest trial to date for the long-term use of a left ventricular assist device.
The principal investigators of the trial are Francis D. Pagani, M.D., Ph.D., surgical director of the Adult Heart Transplant Program and director of the Center for Circulatory Support at the University of Michigan Health System and Joseph Rogers, M.D., senior vice chief for clinical affairs, Division of Cardiology and Mechanical Circulatory Support Program at Duke University.
U.S. ADVANCE Bridge-to-Transplant Trial
The study was a multi-center (30), 140-patient, prospective trial designed to evaluate the HVAD® System as a bridge to heart transplantation for patients with end-stage heart failure. Patients were followed for ≥ 180 days after implant or until cardiac transplantation, device explant for recovery, or death. The published data from the ADVANCE Trial reported 94% survival at 180 days. The FDA approved a total of 4 IDE (Investigational Device Exemption) supplements that allowed HeartWare to enroll 256 additional patients in the ADVANCE Trial under a Continued Access Protocol (CAP). The ADVANCE Bridge-to-Transplant trial received a positive recommendation from the Circulatory System Devices Advisory Panel in April 2012, followed by approval from the FDA in November 2012.
International CE Trial
In late 2008, HeartWare completed enrollment of a 50-patient international clinical trial for the HVAD® System. The study was a multi-center, prospective, non-randomized, single-arm study, enrolling patients across five participating centers. The company received CE Marking approval in January 2009 based on data submitted for the first 25 patients.
The purpose of the international trial was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the HVAD System as a bridge to cardiac transplantation in patients eligible for cardiac transplantation with refractory, end-stage heart failure at risk of death. The primary endpoint was survival to anesthetic induction for heart transplantation or survival to 180 days on the device and listed for transplantation.
Clinical results from the first 23 patients enrolled in the international trial were presented by Dr. Georg Wieselthaler at the ISHLT Meeting in Boston, April 2008. Of these first 23 patients, 21 (or 91%) successfully met the primary endpoint of the trial, namely survival to 180 days or transplantation.

SEATTLE – Sounders FC inched closer to clinching a playoff berth on Sunday night at CenturyLink Field, but a second-half equalizer from Tim Cahill kept Seattle from sealing its fifth straight spot in the postseason.
Sounders FC dominated the first half, but could only garner a 1-0 lead out of the performance on a Brad Evans penalty kick and New York bounced back in a much more balanced second half to find the equalizer and Seattle settled for the 1-1 draw against the top team in the Eastern Conference.
"I thought we were a little fortunate tonight," Sounders FC Head Coach Sigi Schmid said. "But I don't think it was our best soccer. I know we can play better than we played tonight. We still came out with a tie, so we got a point and we still have some games in hand. But when we play at home, we'd like to win."
While dominating possession, Seattle was able to generate very little on the offensive side through the first 25 minutes. Then it unloaded a barrage of 10 shots over the final 20 minutes of the first half, eventually finding a 1-0 halftime lead.
In the 26th minute, Mauro Rosales sent a free kick toward the penalty spot where Eddie Johnson rose above the defense, but put his header just wide of the near post on Seattle's first shot of the match.
Seattle nearly grabbed the lead in the 35th minute. Rosales dummied his way around David Carney to get free up the right sideline. His cross for Johnson came in behind the Seattle striker and was knocked clear of the box by Ibrahim Sekagya, but right to Brad Evans, who thumped a right-footed shot just wide of the far post.
Johnson had another clean chance in the 38th minute on a ball from Lamar Neagle, but his shot from the left side was parried clear by Luis Robles. On the ensuing throw-in DeAndre Yedlin put a ball into the box for Martins, but his header missed high as Seattle continued to press for the opening goal.
Two minutes later, Johnson raced up the left side to track down an Evans pass, drawing Robles out with him. Johnson then crossed to Martins for a header that Martins put just wide of the far post.
"I thought we struggled early in the first half and then I think the last 20 minutes of the first half we did really well because we played a little more direct," Schmid said.
In the 44th minute, Evans got in up the right side and knocked a cross toward the middle, but Markus Holgersson was whistled for a handball and Seattle was awarded a penalty. Evans converted with a powerful shot to the low right corner for the 1-0 lead in the 45th minute.
"I always feel comfortable stepping up there," said Evans, who returned to the starting lineup for the first time since suffering a calf strain against the Columbus Crew on August 31. "I just have to keep it going and pick my spot and get it there."
For Evans, it was his fourth goal of the season and second from the penalty spot. He is now 7-for-7 all-time for Seattle when he takes penalties.
"Brad has done well with his penalties," Schmid said. "Robles went the right way, but the ball was well hit."
That pressure continued for Seattle, though New York provided a bit of pushback in the other direction in the second half.
"I thought we got forward a little bit, but I thought we gave them way too much space in midfield to play," Schmid said.
In the 61st and 63rd minutes, headers from Holgersson and Fabian Espindola found the frame – Holgersson hitting off the crossbar and Espindola off the post.
In the 76th, the Red Bulls nabbed the equalizer on a scrappy goal by Tim Cahill. The ball bounced around in the box as Seattle worked to defend the ball clear. Finally, it spilled to Cahill on the left side and he curled a shot inside the far post for his ninth goal of the season to make it 1-1.
"It was a bouncing ball all over the place in the box," said Gspurning, who finished with two saves in the draw. "He hit it well the first time and there's nothing (I could) do."
A midfield battle the rest of way meant the match finished with that score, moving Seattle to 15-8-6 even with Real Salt Lake (15-10-6) atop the Western Conference standings on points, but behind on the second tie-breaker, goals scored. New York leads the East and is one point ahead in the Supporters' Shield standings at 15-9-7.
The draw runs Seattle's overall unbeaten streak to seven matches (5-0-2) and the Sounders remain without a loss in their last 14 matches at home (10-0-4).
Sounders FC will meet the Colorado Rapids in its next match on Saturday at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. Seattle is unbeaten in its last eight matches against Colorado at 7-0-1, including a record of 1-0-1 this year.
Sounders FC – Brad Evans (PK) 45.
Red Bulls – Tim Cahill 76.
Sounders FC – None.
Red Bulls – Tim Cahill (caution) 54; Jonny Steele (caution) 64.
Sounders FC – Michael Gspurning, DeAndre Yedlin, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado, Djimi Traore, Marc Burch, Mauro Rosales (Adam Moffat 79), Osvaldo Alonso, Brad Evans, Lamar Neagle, Obafemi Martins, Eddie Johnson.
Red Bulls – Luis Robles, Kosuke Kimura, Markus Holgersson, Ibrahim Sekagya, David Carney, Lloyd Sam (Eric Alexander 71), Dax McCarty, Tim Cahill, Jonny Steele, Peguy Luyindula, Fabian Espindola (Andre Akpan 89).

so Hugh Sisson and I toasted to that fact after the tour.
Continuing with my Baltimore/DC area beer adventure, a friend and I drove out to Clipper City Brewery last weekend to catch a tour. I was amazed that the man himself, Hugh Sisson, was on hand to guide us through the inner workings of his production facility. Apparently Sisson handles most of the tours there.
For $5, you get a commemorative logo pint glass and 5 tokens to exchange for 5 samples from either the Clipper City, Oxford Organic Ales or Heavy Seas product lines. I spent my tokens on the various Heavy Seas beers available from the tasting room that day. Unlike some breweries, you're encouraged to top off your glass and bring it along on the tour with you. What could be better than enjoying a tasty brew, straight from the tap, while walking through the facility it was just freshly made in, during an up close and personal tour from the head of the brewery? Honestly, how cool is that?!?
Hugh Sisson and I chat with some of the other guests after the tour.
Sisson shows us how the brewery works.
Sisson shows us how the brewery works.
Sisson did an excellent job educating his audience, not just about his own beers, but also about craft beer in general. He ran us through the brewing process, providing a great tutorial suitable for the seasoned brewery tourist and brewery-virgin alike. Covering a multitude of topics, Sisson stressed the importance of quality ingredients, beer styles and food pairing, proper pouring methods and the dangers of drinking straight from the bottle. He also explained the concepts of balanced beer, fireplace beer, organic beer, and beer economics.
After the tour, Sisson mixed and mingled with his guests in the tasting room, enjoying a beer and friendly conversation, often talking one-on-one with us. Over all, it was very educational, down to earth and fun. Hugh Sisson successfully created an association between his "Joe the Brewer" persona (my words, not his) and the tasty beers he provides.
Bottom line, Sisson sells his beer by selling himself.
I was a big fan of the Loose Cannon Hop3 Ale, hoppy but smooth, simply a great beer! Sisson showed us how Loose Cannon is hopped in the kettle, again in the hop back, and then finally dry hopped, hence the Hop3 name...
They also had their seasonal brew, Winter Storm on tap. This is also a great beer you really need to try. Sisson was quick to note this beer was the World Beer Cup Gold Medal winner for the "International Pale Ale" category. While he bragged that this beer is the worlds best International Pale Ale, he also (jokingly) admitted he had no idea what an International Pale Ale really was. Apparently the style is unique to this competition.

Praise for Raised Right
"Journalist [Alisa] Harris gives a face and a voice to America's younger generation, offering herself up as a case study of Christian youth caught in a partisan nation.… Young Americans will identify with her coming-of-age struggles and passion for weeding out injustice. Right-wing politicians and older generations of Christians should pay close attention in order to understand, and perhaps empathize with, her demographic."
—Publishers Weekly
"Endorsements to co "A wonderful story for political misfits of all shapes and colors. Harris invites you to hop off the political bandwagon and to walk with her down the narrow way that leads to life. And she reminds you not to veer too far off the path to the left or to the right, lest you get confused and can't find the way home again."
—Shane Claiborne, author, activist, and recovering sinner, www.thesimpleway.org
"Raised Right demonstrates that the evangelical stampede to the far right in the 1980s has produced a generational backlash, as young evangelicals like Alisa Harris encounter the Hebrew prophets and the words of Jesus. This is the most encouraging book about evangelicals and politics I have read in a very long time."
—Randall Balmer, Columbia University, author of Thy Kingdom Come: How the Religious Right Distorts the Faith and Threatens America
"Raised Right is funny, insightful, and packed with truth. Harris speaks on behalf of a generation of culture warriors longing for a more peaceful way forward. Those who grew up in the trenches will relate to every page."
—Rachel Held Evans, author of Evolving in Monkey Town
"In Raised Right, Alisa Harris paints a fascinating picture of how the same religious devotion can send succeeding generations to opposite sides of the political battlefield. And while her story may be more common than ever, it's uncommonly told. Alisa's voice is fresh, honest, gracious, and provocative in all the right places. An enthralling and illuminating read."
—Jason Boyett, author of O Me of Little Faith: True Confessions of a Spiritual Weakling
"Alisa Harris is a smart, fearless, gracious writer who, in her memoir Raised Right, showcases a deft mature-beyond-her-years honesty and kindness when sharing her affecting story of growing up in a politics-and-faith-charged environment. But the brilliance of Raised Right shines brightest when Harris begins confessing—often with a self-deprecating spin—the personal and spiritual unraveling that happens when she begins to unmarry her faith from her politics. Ultimately, hope wins throughout as Harris discovers small bits of humble truth along the journey. And because narrative in Raised Right is rich yet familiar, readers will discover small bits of their own."
—Matthew Paul Turner, author of Churched and Hear No Evil
"Raised Right chronicles Alisa Harris's journey from an evangelical childhood community steeped in the politics of James Dobson to an evangelical young adulthood where the politics of Barack Obama are preferred. It is engaging and well written, and it will be very illuminating to anyone who wants to understand the changes afoot among youth raised evangelical and what those changes will mean for American politics."
—Jonathan Dudley, author of Broken Words: The Abuse of Science and Faith in American Politics

The Bosch coil suitable for F1 and other motorsport applications below cost 710 euros.
Yea.. cheap dirt cheap.... double the price i paid for my car for all 8. it all adds up.
And just because i got it wrong because titanium is better than aluminium in a spesific area doesn`t mean the idea about material spesification is wrong. Like alu intake and such.
You might be satisfied with the current engine prices but there is allways room for reductions if they was having a focus on it.
there is a huge potensial to improve the hp/cost for F1 cars and their components.
Tony might recognise this one. yours at around 15000 dollars
here is a 1992 modell cossie for 60 000 punds.
Just a poor comparison but you get the picture.
The Asia tech motor from 2002 is cheaper but mostly because its not a winner motor and maintenance and parts price and such is a pain i suspect.
http://www.carclassi...h_F1 Engine.htm
And saying steel suspention with limitations in manufacturing technicues would be more costly is just plain wrong.
the diff stuff i simply don`t believe. As said you can only do so much to a limited amount of parts. It might be costly initially but not in the long run.

There is still plenty of snow in the mountains, but with ample space to catch it in Jackson Lake, runoff on the Snake River is unlikely to reach historic levels.
That's the assessment Mike Beus, operations manager for the Bureau of Reclamation, delivered at the agency's water meeting in Jackson last night. The bureau controls releases at Jackson Lake and Palisades dams to supply water for irrigation in Idaho and prevent floods.
Runoff in the upper Snake basin is projected to be about 130 percent of normal, Beus said. But because of last year's drought, the uppermost reservoirs are filling slowly. The Jackson Lake reservoir was drawn down to 18 percent of capacity last fall, and Palisades was nearly empty.
The bureau is releasing only 300 cubic feet per second from Jackson Lake Dam; it will double the flow shortly before Memorial Day weekend and increase the release to 2,500 cfs by June 1.
The agency plans to gradually increase the dam release as tributaries drop off, thereby reducing the risk of flooding. The bureau projects a maximum release of just over 5,000 cfs beginning in late June. Once the runoff subsides, the release will be held steady at 2,500 cfs through the end of September.

by John E. Kolesar Partner, Pittsburgh Office
Presented before the Pittsburgh Chapter, Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants— November 1972
It is a well-established fact that knowledgeable and responsible critics, both within and without our profession, are seriously questioning the profession's independence and its ability to sustain effective self-discipline. We frequently hear such statements as "Unless the profession manages to discipline its members, some outside body will." In some states, consumer representatives are already sitting on State Boards of Accountancy. In Harrisburg today the matter is being seriously considered by our State Department of Professional Licensure.
Questions are frequently raised as to what the profession is doing about the many well-publicized liability suits where it is alleged that the auditors were deficient in the performance of their work. Until recently considerable criticism has been focused on the inadequacies of accounting principles to prevent misleading accounting and reporting practices.
Currently, however, there is a growing concern on the part of critics that the more important and fundamental problem is one of inadequate performance of the attest function. They imply that one or more of the following conditions exist:
1. The profession is not maintaining an acceptable level of independence.
2. The profession's adherence to generally accepted auditing procedures and reporting standards is deficient.
3. Generally accepted auditing procedures are not wholly adequate.
The inadequacies of generally accepted accounting principles and auditing standards may not be a direct concern of the AICPA Division of Professional Ethics, but maintaining independence and adherence to these principles and standards falls squarely within the concern of that Division.
Recognizing the need to make our Code of Professional Ethics and our disciplinary procedures more creditable to the general public, the AICPA

Jon Gosselin is not making it work.
Fashion guru Tim Gunn ripped the reality TV dad's duds and said the doughy father of eight is committing "the biggest crime against fashion" for men, according to Usmagazine.com.
"In his case, everything is too big," Gunn said. "It is what I refer to as the slobification of America. If you want to dress to feel as though you never got out of bed, then don't get out of bed."
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
The "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star is known for sporting Ed Hardy shirts and jeans emblazoned with growling tigers and other tattoo-inspired images associated with the Christian Audigier brand.
Gunn was forgiving when it came to Jon's soon-to-be-ex-wife Kate's signature asymmetrical hair cut. The "Project Runway" star said he was "accepting" of Kate's 'do.
"If that's the way she wants to present herself, then she's doing a good job," he said.

With Heidi Klum, 'America's Got Talent' tries quartet of judges
Judge-flation has hit "America's Got Talent."
One season after the addition of Howard Stern for a reported $20 million failed to goose the show's ratings -- which actually fell noticeably -- NBC announced Monday its next big "AGT" idea:
Add a fourth judge.
That judge: Heidi Klum, the statuesque, wooden host of "Project Runway."
"As we look to develop an act that will get the world's attention, we and the contestants will benefit from Heidi's international sensibility and understanding of what works in today's global entertainment industry," enthused NBC's head of alternative programming, Paul Telegdy.
"Heidi Klum brings huge experience to 'America's Got Talent' from her background as a model, designer, actress, TV host, producer and successful businesswoman," chimed in "AGT" executive producer Trish Kinane.
"America's Got some serious Talent!" explained Klum.
The addition marks the first time the show has had a four-judge panel. Klum will join Stern and Howie Mandel, as well as fellow newcomer Mel B (a.k.a. Melanie Brown), who replaces Sharon Osbourne.
"AGT" isn't the first competition show to feature four judges: NBC's own "The Voice" has four, Fox's "The X Factor" has four and Fox's "American Idol" has tried both four and three. But it's the first time a competition show has hired a fourth judge one season after shelling out $20 mil to hire "the king of all media" -- not to mention the cost of moving the show to New York for "KoaM's" convenience.
This past May, about 10.5 million people tuned in to watch Stern's debut on "AGT." That's about 32 percent fewer viewers than the 15.3 million who watched the previous season's debut.
Among 18- to 49-year-old viewers who are the currency of NBC's ad sales, Stern's unveiling came in 14 percent short of the previous season starter.
Meanwhile, former Victoria's Secret undies model Klum cut her teeth on reality competition as a host and judge on "Project Runway," which famously moved from Bravo to Lifetime network, causing much uproar in the biz. In its most recent iteration, "Project Runway" averaged 2.5 million viewers.

I made this with Chocolate Rasberry chips PLUS I can read and follow directions !!! When it says it is not done until a knife comes out clean to ME that is exactly what it means ...like the saying goes..."if all else fails...FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS" There wasn't any left to worry about the chocolatee solidifyingand ahd there been ..of COURSE I would have warmed it up !! Works better that way when you put ice cream on top or drizzle more chocolate syrup or warmed berry jam on it while it is warm ! That what was missing :-) <>

Added butterscotch chips to mini chocolate chips and used mini croissants. It was great!

I find it hard to believe this can be a make over recipe. I calculated it would be 9 points plus on the Weight Watcher's system which is a lot
Nov 30, 2011
It is missing something.I fixed it last year for a family dinner we all thought it was something missing.if I can figure it out what it needs.
Jan 15, 2011
The croissants make this bread pudding very delicious. My only problem is the chocolate. We did not finish this dessert, so it got put into the refrigerator and (of course) the chocolate resolidified, so you sort of crunch into cold chocolate. My only suggestion is to eat it all (HA!) if you can or reheat it in the microwave prior to eating leftovers.Unlike the other rater of this recipe, I found it to be flavorful, however, it does have a little bit of a slimy feel to it if you don't let it sit long enough prior to cutting and eating.
Dec 4, 2010
Made this recipe this morning and it was horrible. I did bake it for 60 minutes and did the knife test in the center. It came out dry. Waited 15 minutes and cut into it...slimmy! Tastelesss. So happy I tested this first before serving it for Christmas brunch. I would pass on this one if I were you.

Athletic Facilities
Athletic facilities at The Citadel are among the finest in the Southern Conference. Home football games are played in historic Johnson Hagood Stadium. Originally built in 1948, the stadium is currently in the midst of a major revitalization project.
McAlister Field House, which houses the Athletic Department staff and several coaches' offices, was built in 1939 and renovated in 1989. Seating 6,000 for Bulldog basketball games, McAlister Field House also serves as home of the volleyball team as well as the site for graduations, concerts and a variety of other events. New women's locker rooms are currently being added to the Field House.
Next to McAlister Field House is Vandiver Hall which opened in 1991 and provides the Bulldog soccer, baseball, wrestling, golf, volleyball, cross-country and track and field teams with a modern and well-equipped facility. Dressing and locker rooms, a golf driving range, a wrestling room, and a baseball batting tunnel are a few of the features of Vandiver Hall. Seignious Hall, which is located directly behind Vandiver Hall, houses the football coaches' offices and the football locker room, along with a top of the line training room. Also located in this facility are a spacious weight room and equipment room.
The Donald C. Bunch Courts at the Earle Tennis Center, site of the 2001 Southern Conference Men's and Women's Tennis Championships, receive a significant amount of play year-round. The men's and women's soccer teams utilize WLI Field along the Ashley River as well as Johnson Hagood Stadium while the track and field teams use a track surrounding one of the football team's two practice fields.
In April 1997, The Citadel's baseball team moved into the new, state-of-the-art Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park, located on the banks of the Ashley River. The 6,000-seat park, which serves as home of the annual Southern Conference Baseball Championship, features the Bulldog locker room, luxury suites, an indoor batting tunnel and a major league style matrix board. The Citadel utilizes nearby College Park as a practice site during the year.

Ten Second Review
Toyota has been continually improving its third generation Yaris supermini, but the package of revisions we look at here is the most far-reaching yet, delivering an all-new look, a new 1.5-litre petrol engine and standardisation of the brand's camera-driven 'Safety Sense' package. What was already a class act has just become genuinely hard to overlook.
If you were asked to name the cars vying for the title of best supermini, it would be a reasonable wager that the Toyota Yaris wouldn't be amongst your top three. If, on the other hand, you had to name a small car that would be trouble-free, cheap to run and easy to use, it would be right up there. The thing is, those criteria are exactly what many supermini buyers are looking for. They don't care if the car can't take the Esses at Donington flat without lapsing into understeer. It's an irrelevance for most but car magazines still put a huge priority on handling and award their 'best of' titles predominantly on which cars are most fun to drive at the limit. The Yaris has always been a supermini that works well in the real world and this third generation car is no exception. It has long lacked a bit of flair though, and Toyota has belatedly realised this, endowing the latest model with a lot more styling input, as well as engineering improvements.
Driving Experience
Toyota has worked to improve the driving dynamics of this car in recent times and the result is that if you haven't tried a Yaris for a bit, you might be surprised by just how well this one handles. Probably the greatest efforts have been centred on improving refinement and to that end, more recent models feature better soundproofing material, refettled engines and sleeker aerodynamics to reduce wind noise. The big news on the engine front is the introduction of a new 1.5-litre petrol engine to replace the previous aging 1.33-litre unit. Power output is up 10% to 110bhp, which makes the car nearly a second quicker over the 0-62mph sprint (which now takes 11.0s). More important is the news that torque is up to 136Nm, so the crucial 50 to 75mph overtaking increment is a second quicker too. The engine can also be paired with an optional CVT automatic. As before, other Yaris engine options include a 1.0-litre VVT-i petrol unit and a 1.5-litre petrol/electric Hybrid which has been re-engineered for greater efficiency. And on the road? Well, it depends upon your expectations. Though the ride is better than it used to be, it still gets unsettled over rougher surfaces. And though the steering is a touch more feelsome than long-time Yaris users might be used to, it's still very light and better suited to metropolis rather than motorway use. Which is one of the main reasons why this car remains one of those you'd buy primarily to shoot to the shops and take on the odd motorway trip to the mother-in-law, rather than to speed around Silverstone. That's why traditionally, there have been no hard core hot hatch Yaris variants, though that's now changed since the announcement of a 1.8-litre supercharged 205bhp Yaris GRMN model.
Design and Build
Toyota has spent over 90 million Euros improving this model, so we're talking about more than just a light facelift here. The front end is completely new, much sleeker and classier than before. There are revised rear tail light clusters too. It's these days a more assertive-looking design and Europeans like that. The headlights feature projector technology for high and low beams and the clusters incorporate LED daytime running lights. In profile, this improved Yaris displays a smart door belt moulding, door mirrors with an optional folding function and classy 15 and 16-inch alloy wheel designs. A rear bumper and diffuser assembly give the back end a more self-confident look. The interior features the Toyota Touch 2 multimedia system, complete with a 7-inch screen. This apart, the interior hasn't changed much since this car was launched in 2011. Which means that build quality from the French Pas-de-Calais factory is as strong as ever. And that the controls are sensibly positioned and extremely easy to get to grips with. There's also plenty of interior storage space, though some of the ledges provided tend to deposit their contents onto you once you corner with any speed. The door bins are useful though, able to accommodate a decent sized drinks bottle with ease. The boot offers 272-litres of space. Toyota's impressive EasyFlat rear seats split 60:40, fold and slide bringing a useful degree of versatility and up to 477-litres if you need it.
Market and Model
Prices sit in the £12,500 to £19,500 bracket, which is pretty par for the course in the supermini segment. Prices for variants fitted with the new 1.5-litre petrol engine begin at just over £15,000 and Hybrid models start at around £16,000. Toyota knows equipment levels for this car have to be very class-competitive, so even the most basic 'Active' version now gets the brand's 'Safety Sense' package which includes a 'Pre-Collision' autonomous braking system, 'Lane Departure Alert' and 'Automatic High Beam', features you won't find anywhere else as standard at the 'Active' variant's price point. This base trim level also gives you rain-sensing windscreen wipers, power front windows, Bluetooth and a six-speaker audio system. Hybrid models additionally feature automatic air conditioning and projector headlamps. If you can afford to go further up the range, there are 'Icon', 'Icon Tech', 'Design', 'Bi-Tone' and 'Excel' vaiants to choose from. Particularly popular is the 'Icon' grade that gives you 15-inch alloy wheels, cruise control, air conditioning and a 4.2-inch colour TFT multi-information screen. At this level, you get the Toyota Touch 2 touchscreen-controlled multimedia system, a rear-view camera and the Toyota Safety Sense features are expanded to include Road Sign Assist.
Cost of Ownership
The Yaris' residual values have always held up better than a Fiesta and leagues better than a Corsa and will stack up even more competitively now that the efficiency of this latest model has been improved - at least in mid-range petrol form anyway. The 1.5-litre unit is 12% more efficient than its 1.33-litre predecessor, official figures suggesting a combined cycle performance of 56.5mpg and 109g/km - with manual transmission on 16-inch wheels. Of course is you really prioritise efficiency, you're going to want to look at the Hybrid model, which accounts for a quarter of all UK Yaris registrations. This manages at CO2 return of 75g/km, which translates to a combined fuel economy figure of 85.6mpg with virtually zero NOx and particulate emissions. The three-cylinder 1.0-litre petrol engine that most customers choose now meets the stringent Euro 6 emissions standards and manages a carbon emissions figure of 99g/km.

Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak was in Chicago Thursday to unveil a new digital and print campaign designed to convince Chicago same-sex couples to legally marry in his city.
The "I Want To Marry You In Minneapolis" ads have already started appearing in local publications such as the Windy City Times, and feature the owners of Minneapolis businesses who are ready to help Chicago couples "plan an unforgettable wedding day."
Rybak, a vocal proponent of same-sex marriage in Minesota, discussed the campaign Thursday morning at a news conference at Boystown's Center on Halsted.
"Chicago is my kind of town, but it's a second city with human rights, and right now that gives an incredible competitive advantage to Minneapolis," Rybak said. "I hope the day comes very soon that all Illinoisans can marry the person that they love, and I strongly encourage the Legislature and Governor Quinn to pass marriage equality as soon as possible -- but until that day comes, I'm here to steal your business."
When asked if poaching business on another mayor's turf was fair, Rybak quipped, "Have you met him, Mayor Emanuel? He would do it to me any day of the week I'm sure."
Rybak made headlines on Aug. 1 when he performed 46 same-sex weddings from midnight to almost 7 a.m. to celebrate the first day that Minnesotans were allowed to legally marry. Since then, one-third of marriage applications in Minnesota have been for same-sex couples.
Illinois approved civil unions in 2011, but lawmakers failed to call gay marriage to a vote during this year's spring session. The Legislature is expected reconsider the measure during the November session.

It may not show up on many shopping lists, but identity protection could be one of the biggest gifts consumers can give themselves this holiday season.
That's because, according to Javelin Strategy & Research, an estimated 15.4 million consumers were victims of some type of ID theft in 2016. That number is up from 13.1 million in 2015.
Arvest Bank understands how much people enjoy the holiday season, but we also want to remind everyone that December is Identity Theft Prevention and Awareness Month. Arvest also wants consumers to know it is critical to know how to help protect themselves from identity thieves because of the long-lasting effects such an attack can have on their credit and bank accounts.
With that in mind, here are some tips created by the Federal Trade Commission that can help consumers avoid identity theft.
For more information on privacy and identity protection, visit www.ftc.gov* and look for the 'Tips & Advice' tab. If you're interested in the kind of identity-theft protection that includes theft-resolution and file-monitoring services, Arvest offers IDProtect®* with some of its checking accounts.

Temporarily Dye Your Hair Vibrant Red Hair Dye with Zero Hassle!
Each package comes with detailed instructions on how to use the hair chalks for best and most colorful results.

How to Use the Red Hair Chalk
- Grab a hair chalk, a towel or a plastic cape, gloves, a hair clip, hair spray and a plastic jar with water – can be a yogurt jar (or just tap water)
- slightly wet your hair and the end of the hair chalk
- Rub the chalk onto your hair, holding it straight. Rub it in direction of hair growth (from top to bottom) instead of up & down movement.
- Apply the color with the tip of the hair chalk, not the side, for a brighter and more vivid color.
- You can also try dissolving the hair chalk in a splash of water and applying the mixture on your hair with a hair color brush
- Use the blow dryer to dry your hair – don't dry it with a towel as the chalk will stain it – but the best is just air drying and brushing to dry your your hair (this way you'll also get a nice gradient hair color – not too deep)
- For longer lasting hair chalk, use the hair straightener or hair curler
- For better & longer lasting color, use the hair chalk after you've styled your hair!

International dairy prices increased from already high levels in the three months leading to mid-December and are expected to remain strong through at least the first half of 2014, according to a new report from Rabobank.
Producers in most exporting regions have responded to larger margins by increasing milk production, which has boosted export supply since September. That increase has largely been soaked up by China's vigorous buying, leaving less product to go around and resulting in high international prices that have sidelined some buyers.
With export supply only in the infancy of recovery, China mopping up whatever increase has been available and other buyers almost desperate to secure more product, Rabobank predicts 2014 will launch with exceptionally strong dairy product prices and extremely strong to record farm gate milk prices.
Strong milk prices and falling feed costs have already increased milk production in many exporting regions and will fuel more, but prices are expected to hold around current levels before easing in mid to late 2014 as inventories are replenished.
While exporting regions increased milk supply a total of 3 percent year over year in August and September, that response has been delayed in the U.S. Milk production here grew just 1 percent year over year in the September-October period.
Several factors are keeping the reins on U.S. production, including forward contracting of feed at higher prices and poor forage quality, the report states.
The December U.S. all-milk price is expected at or above $21 per hundredweight and feed costs are expected to be down 30 percent from their March highs.
Positive margins between milk price and feed costs were historically associated with milk supply growth of 3 percent to 3.5 percent. But Rabobank expects the U.S. response to be less vigorous even when the temporary supply drags have passed, rising only 2 percent in both the first and second quarters of 2014.
Rabobank analysts say following a period of losses, many U.S. producers are looking to build equity.
Among those who do want to invest, bank financing is not as readily available as it previously was. Uncertainty regarding immigration reform is also affecting an appetite to invest. Some of those who are investing are buying more ground to grow more of their own feed, rather than investing in cows and sheds, Rabobank stated.
Even with a relatively modest rate of supply growth and improved domestic dairy demand, as the economy continues its slow recovery, U.S. processors have the wherewithal to launch another major push into export markets in the first half of 2014.
With more exportable supply internationally, prices will ease in the second half of 2014. But the extent of that easing will be limited by higher demand, assuming the world economy remains on a slow recovery track, the report states.
The world price situation could be positively influenced by adverse weather during peak milk production season in the Southern Hemisphere in the first quarter and in the Northern hemisphere in the second quarter. In addition, China's import growth could exceed Rabobank's estimates and Venezuela, which slashed its purchases from the world market in 2013, could return to the market.
On the downside, the U.S. milk supply could respond more strongly than anticipated, and emerging markets (other than China) might not come back to the market with the same force as anticipated.

None of us want to live with multiple sclerosis (although, it is better than the current alternative). We'd much prefer to go to sleep at night and not wonder what this disease could take from us in the night. We would rather have all the capacities we once did. I would have liked to keep going down my old path, even though I admit that there have been some positives to be mined from this experience.
Why, then, does it seem that are we constantly feeling like we have to justify what we can or cannot do?
Whether it's simply having to explain why we're using a disabled parking spot when we "look so good;" pleading with the boss for an air conditioner in the office; or the monster-pile of paperwork for disability insurance – making it known how our disease affects us takes up valuable energy and makes us feel worse about the disease than simply living with it!
If you can button a blouse properly one day out of three, does that mean that that you can go to work full-time? If I can walk from the car to a shopping carriage (which will act as walker as well as grocery receptacle), should I not have used my parking placard?
My all-time favorite has to do with volunteer time.
If I can rest up and prepare for a couple of speeches per year, to help raise money for the National MS Society (and then spend days recovering after), does that mean that I'm disqualified as a disabled person?
Sometimes, I feel like I feel worse (not just about the disease, but actually feel like my MS is worse) when I have to focus on justifications!
I don't know if I'm alone, but I doubt it.
We are, by nature, a group of people who want to do things for ourselves. We want to, but sometimes the system seems to want us to be in the black or in the white… and MS is most assuredly a disease of gray!
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Nick Clegg 'to block childcare ratio reforms'
Nick Clegg has told Conservatives he will block government reforms to adult-child ratio limits for childcarers, BBC Newsnight has learned.
In meetings over recent days he said he could no longer back the plan to increase the number of children nursery staff and child-minders can look after.
The deputy prime minister's veto could have funding consequences for the government's entire childcare package.
The ratio changes are set to be implemented in England in September.
Whitehall is now waiting for Prime Minister David Cameron to begin "horse-trading", in the words of one source, with the Liberal Democrats over the policy, or let it sink.
Insiders indicated they were hopeful they could persuade the deputy prime minister to change his position.
But Mr Clegg's spokesman said he "remains to be persuaded" that changing the ratios, as originally envisaged by Tory education minister Liz Truss, was a good idea.
The reform, a high-profile element of the government's drive to reduce childcare costs, has run into fierce opposition.
In one survey, conducted by the National Children's Bureau, out of 341 early years staff interviewed, 95% said they were concerned about the policy.
The government's own adviser on childcare, Professor Cathy Nutbrown, has said the ratio plans "make no sense at all". In February, a coalition formed against the changes called Rewind on Ratios, run by the pre-school learning alliance and supported by - among others - Mumsnet and Netmums.
Statutory ratios for carers per child vary depending on age and setting. Those for children aged one-and-under are set to rise from three children per adult to four children per adult. Those for two-year-olds are set to rise from four to six children per adult.
Ratios for three-year-olds and over would remain at eight or 13 children per adult, depending on whether a qualified graduate was present.
Ms Truss has championed the reforms, saying they will bring Britain into line with other European countries including France and Sweden.
She says that allowing minders to care for more children - providing those minders have higher qualifications, a parallel reform she has proposed - would lower the cost of childcare and improve quality, by enabling the profession to attract those with higher salary demands.
Sources told BBC Newsnight that if the deputy prime minister does block the plan there will be funding consequences for the entire childcare package, which also includes £1,200 tax breaks on childcare for working parents - a central offer of the coalition government as they try to bring down the cost of living.
Britain has some of the highest childcare costs in the world, with many mothers with two or more children saying it does not make financial sense to work.
Mr Clegg's spokesman told Newsnight: "The delivery of good quality, affordable childcare is one of Nick Clegg's biggest priorities in government.
"He has looked very closely at proposals to increase the number of children each adult can look after - and at the very serious concerns raised by parents and childcare providers in the recent government consultation.
"Nick remains to be persuaded that this is the right thing to do for very young children. Or, crucially, to be persuaded that this would actually help families with high childcare costs. This continues to be discussed in government."
