wedding shoes
"I wore these pumps for my brother's wedding and was for the most part comfortable. I ordered a size wide and they fit perfectly, after 3 previous orders from other companies failed to fit. I was pleased with these shoes and will re-wear them!"

So close and yet...
"These shoes were the perfect fit - very true to size and surprisingly comfortable. Unfortunately, they material used feels incredibly cheap - the same texture as the styrofoam padding placed inside the shoe. And they have much more of a glitter effect than I gathered from the photo. So despite fitting well, these won't work for the wedding I am in and I'll be sending them back."

Official Washington (the politicians, the press, think tankers and various talking heads) is, as always, preoccupied with the crisis du jour, which, fortunately for the 24/7 news cycle, can and does change frequently — yet always includes the Middle East.
Current topics include:
All of the above are fine. But in the real world, not so much …
The question of the hour — for millions of feds and non-feds — is simple:
White House prepping government reorg executive order
White House prepping government reorg executive order
Will the White House declare Monday, Dec. 24, as a bonus holiday (or at least a day off) for non-emergency federal workers. Simple question. Not a simple decision.
In the past, more often than not, feds have gotten time off when Christmas Eve falls on either a Monday (as it does this year) or a Friday. But that is not chiseled in stone anywhere.
For federal workers (most of them anyhow), it is a no-brainer. The Monday before or Friday after are pretty much dead days as far as productivity is concerned. Why heat up the building and turn on the lights for one day? Why not let millions of feds have an extra day to shop, park, spend and eat out or travel. It could do wonders for the economy in places like D.C. and other cities that have a high percentage of federal workers.
Giving feds an extra day off would, indirectly, help the commute of those of us who must work that day. Absent school buses and federal rush hour traffic, getting to the office would be a breeze for us.
Some government contractors would be in a bind because when you don't work and get paid they don't work but don't get paid either.
Here at Federal News Radio, we got our first bonus holiday query in July. Somebody was obviously thinking ahead. We've written about it a couple of times — perhaps scooping the competition on what some would consider a non-story — and gotten lots of responses. For the track-record, click here.
The problem this year is the economy and the perils — real or contrived — facing it. And us.
For most policymakers, it should be an easy call: We've done it before, let's do it again.
But while the politicians haggle (or do nothing) about the fast-approaching fiscal cliff they created, would it be a good year to let federal workers have an extra day off? Would that play well in Peoria and other places where people don't have jobs? Either way, Congress, which just returned this week, will almost certainly be off.
A surprising number of feds have told us that while they would love the day off (and after two years in a pay deep-freeze, deserve it) they could understand if it doesn't happen. Many say they plan to take time off either way.
In the past, when presidents gave feds a bonus day off, the call was made in late November or early December. President George W. Bush waited until Dec. 9 one year. The problem is that it's already Dec. 11.
So what's your thought? Big deal and deserved. Or not such a good idea this year?
By Jack Moore
Before the advent of wrapping paper, Christmas presents were typically concealed in tissue paper. In 1917, after a particularly busy shopping day, stationery salesmen J.C. and Rollie Hall (owners of the eponymous Hallmark store) ran out of tissue paper and started selling "fancy French paper meant for lining envelopes" instead.

Home to acclaimed chefs and award-winning restaurants, two of which made it onto the prestigious World's 50 Best Restaurants list this year, Peru is fast becoming the world's most sought after gastronomic nation. The destination is increasingly recognised for its culinary tours, food safaris, world class cooking schools and food festivals.
The richness of Peruvian cuisine stems mainly from the combination of Spanish cuisine with traditional native Peruvian ingredients with later influences from Chinese, Italian, West African and Japanese immigrants. Coupled with a variety of native foods and dishes such as fresh fruits and cereals, Peru's cuisine is now proclaimed as the best in Latin America due to the wide variety and flavours from the various regions.
With such a diverse geographical landscape and long history, it is no surprise that local cuisine varies from region to region and has evolved to reflect the rich and varied cultural heritage of the people, its ancestors and more modern influences.
Lima is the traditional City of Kings, the capital of the country and gateway to Peru. It has been declared the Gastronomic Capital of Latin America thanks to its excellent world class restaurants serving national and international cuisine. Creole food, the mix of Spanish and local cuisines, includes the highly-recommended 'Causa' - a cold chicken or shellfish potato pie with tomatoes and avocado. 'Tamal' - a hot dry corn mash filled with hot peppers, chicken or pork, wrapped in banana tree leaves and slow cooked. Another favourite is Cebiche - a dish made with raw fish which is now enjoyed all around the world.
Cusco's restaurants provide authentic specialties from the Novo-Andean style which use the same ingredients as the pre-Incan ear: tubbers, corns, llama and alpaca meat, trout and guinea pig, these flavours have been enhanced with the introduction of bread, rice and pasta. The Pachamanca is a typical country lunch where different meats and vegetables are cooked underground with red-hot stones, resulting in a tasty healthy meal. Arequipa located in the south of the country also offers delicious regional cuisine through a variety of Novoandian restaurants and Picanterias (traditional restaurants where they used to cook over open flame).
The cuisine of the jungle, as exuberant and exotic as the Amazon itself, is vast and still unknown. The paiche is an exceptional river fish, combined with the fruits which are continuously being discovered such as the camu-camu, are the perfect ingredients for their exquisite dishes.

The IC has flyback diodes on each circuit, but I may put another one on them.
Well, way back...... although each coil has it's own "driver" (as in the + is switched) it was said to be a good idea to put a reversed diode to act as a general fly back for any other coils.

She enlisted her staff to spy on one another, recalls Brenda Della Casa, managing editor of I Am Staggered, USA and author of "Cinderella Was a Liar."
"She'd then use the information—accurate or not—against the employee and as an excuse to go off on the employee and create a culture of fear," Della Casa says.
Sure, lots of bosses work hard to motivate workers. But what are the best practices for leaders seeking to "completely, utterly destroy an employee's work life," in the words of a recent Washington Post article?
In that article, researchers Teresa Amabile and Steven Kramer tell how they collected confidential electronic diaries from 238 professionals in seven companies over several months. They compared the best days with the worst and came up with a how-to for bosses seeking to turn eager hires into dispirited underperformers.
Among their suggestions were, "Never allow pride of accomplishment," and, "Miss no opportunity to block progress on employees' projects."
We called Amabile and sent out a query through Help a Reporter Out to hear tales of what not to do in the workplace. Do any of these undermining communication horror stories sound familiar—either on the giving or receiving end?
Impede their progress
You thought they all just wanted to goof off, but—go figure—they're actually happiest when they're productive.
"On the best days at work, the single most prominent factor by far was simply making progress on meaningful work," says Amabile, who with Kramer is co-author of "The Progress Principle," which described their study.
Undermine and second-guess them
A university media and public relations manager who asked to remain anonymous offers this helpful tip for nasty bosses: "Keep repeating in staff meetings 'I'm here to help all of you find your creative confidence!' and then withhold information, make decisions about their jobs without consulting them, and question every decision they make."
Ignore them when they're right
Max Holloway, head of online marketing for Miravue Skin Clinic, recalls spending a day with a director of a company he formerly worked for, proving that a marketing activity was working and making money.
"At the end of it he just said, 'Yeah, but I don't think it's working so we're cutting it anyway,' [despite] the proof right there," Holloway says.
He adds: "So, how to demoralize your work force: Don't listen to them. Ever. Especially when they're right."
Focus on superficial 'morale boosting'
Barry Maher, author and motivational speaker, recalls a Nixonian boss who "who had a genius for creating bad office perks," by piping in Muzak and leaving candy dishes everywhere when most employees were dieting.
She also tried to boost morale by having every individual create a motivational banner. One employee offered a slogan that management then hung by the main entrance: "Walk the elephant and pitch to the giraffe."
(Perhaps management was unaware that it's the punch line to a joke: "What do you do with an elephant with three balls?")
Offer destructive criticism
Bert Martinez, author and expert in sales and business, says, "Criticism plays a major part of any employee's bad day or destruction. With enough criticism, you can chase away positive people and attract equally negative people."
Done right, unfair criticism can turn a competent, productive employee with high esteem into self-doubting, non-performer.
There's a bonus to managing that way: "The destruction doesn't stop there," he says. "It will follow the employee home, too, where it will interfere with personal relationships and reduce their sex drive."
Ha! That teaches them for thinking they're good enough to work for you.
Promote mediocrity
"One of the most destructive things to an employee is not offering clear-cut, consistent standards of successful performance," says V. McLeod, founder and chief facilitator of Conversations with V!
"When mediocrity or, worse, underperformance is tolerated or rewarded in the workplace, it demotivates and disempowers potential excellence from developing," she says.
Trip them up on deadline
Want a good laugh? Stick out your managerial foot just as an employee is rushing by trying to get something done.
Scott Thompson, an engineering draftsman and project leader with Laminators Inc., recalls a boss who would delay providing data that his associates needed to do the job.
"He would deliver necessary data just before your due date so that you had to rush to complete work on time," Thompson says. "If you didn't complete projects on time, you got written up."
Don't provide clear goals or autonomy
One consumer products company fared poorly in Amabile and Kramer's study. A manager complained that a vice president killed her handheld mixer project three times before it was finally approved. All the stops and starts demoralized staff.
"She talked about the frustration her team was having in not having clear goals and not having the autonomy to get it done," Amabile says.

Their first fight on June 9, 2012, ended with one of the most controversial decisions in boxing history.
Ring announcer Michael Buffer's proclamation, "...And the new WBO welterweight champion, Timothy 'Desert Storm' Bradley", sent shock waves through the MGM Grand Garden Arena, especially on press row, where nearly every writer scored the fight for Manny Pacquiao. Many believed it wasn't even close.
Bradley's split-decision victory ended Pacquiao's welterweight title reign as well as his seven-year, 15-bout win streak. It also set off a chain of events that included an investigation by the Nevada attorney general's office (which uncovered no foul play), and the WBO conducting its own judging of the fight (a unanimous decision for Pacquiao).
Nearly two years later, Bradley-Pacquiao II is set for April 12 at the MGM Grand. A press conference Tuesday in Los Angeles officially announced the fight. Both fighters seemed happy to have an opportunity to clear up one of the sport's great controversies.
"I want my title back and I am prepared to endure my hardest training camp ever to win this fight against Tim Bradley," Pacquiao, a Filipino congressman, said. "It is very exciting to be returning to Las Vegas. And as always, I dedicate this fight to my countrymen throughout the world and to bring glory to the Philippines."
Pacquiao (55-5-2, 38 KOs) has endured the worst moment of his Hall-of-Fame career since that loss, a sixth-round knockout by Juan Manuel Marquez in December 2012. He came back from that fight with an impressive unanimous decision victory against Brandon Rios last November in Macau.
Bradley (31-0, 12 KOs) called the aftermath of the Pacquiao victory one of the darkest periods of his life, saying that criticism of the Pacquiao decision sent him into a period of depression.
But his life changed for the better when he fought Russian Ruslan Provodnikov last March. He engaged in a brutal 12-round slugfest with Provodnikov that ended up being 2013's fight of the year. Bradley was concussed early and nearly knocked out twice, but won a unanimous decision.
Bradley, known up to then as a defensive fighter, was praised for engaging with Provodnikov and providing the most entertaining fight of his career.
He followed that with another impressive outing, a split decision victory against Marquez in October, to remain undefeated.
"This fight is to get the credit I did not get the first time," Bradley said Tuesday. "I must beat Pacquiao as convincingly as I beat Juan Manuel Márquez."
Bradley's trainer, Joel Diaz, agreed. "This is a fight which will give us peace of mind after the controversy of our first fight," Diaz said. "We have to win and make it clear. It's not going to be easy for Pacquiao if he thinks he can beat Bradley. I will guarantee that."
Pacquiao's Hall of Fame trainer, Freddie Roach, who also handles Provodnikov, praised Bradley's toughness.
"Tim Bradley is one of the toughest guys in the world and I saw that up close when he fought Ruslan Provodnikov last year," Roach said. "Tim looked even better in beating Márquez in his last fight. Tim is the champion and Manny and I know we have our work cut out for us to successfully challenge him on April 12."
Top Rank's 82-year-old Hall of Fame CEO Bob Arum, who promotes both fighters, deeply criticized the judges' decision in that first fight. It was Arum who called for the Nevada AG's investigation. He also said Bradley told him before the decision was announced, "I tried hard but I couldn't beat the guy."
Bradley, who came into that fight as a 7-2 underdog, was furious over Arum's reaction, yet recently re-upped with Top Rank.
"At long last a competitive super fight," Arum said. "I am sure the sports books in Las Vegas are gearing up for huge two-way action."
Jay Rood, Vice President of Race & Sports for MGM Resorts International, said this fight's price will be much closer than the first time.
"Our opening number is Pacquiao -180 and +160 for Bradley, which means Manny is slightly less than a 2-to-1 favorite," Rood said. "This line may in fact move up and down with most of our action picking up during fight week in April."
Tickets go on sale on Wednesday.

This pedal board makes hooking up 12 2.5" x 4.5" pedals as easy as hooking up just one (of course, if you're using pedals that aren't 2.5" x 4.5", the snug foam padding can be cut to accommodate pedals of varying shapes).

The Ins and Outs
Connect your guitar, bass or keyboard to the single ¼" input in the upper right corner of the board. A pair of ¼" FROM EFFECTS jacks in the upper left corner allow you to connect stereo effects, and two ¼" OUTPUT TO AMP jacks send a left and right stereo signal to up to two amps. When it is time to load out, just unplug the power supply, disconnect your guitar and amp, put the lid back on the PB1000 and slide the locking latches back into place. The heavy-impact plastic casing will protect your pedals from the rigors of the road.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The first words out of Whitefish By girls basketball coach Greg Capper's mouth following the Blue Dukes' dramatic 58-57 road win over host Germantown Friday night were this:
"That's exactly the way we drew it up."
And returning NOW All-Suburban center and author of the winning baseline three-pointer with two seconds to go Maya Jonas, mostly agreed with her coach's assessment.
"It was actually to look for anyone that was open," she said of the play that began with just 8.9 seconds to go and Germantown up 57-55. "...and when I let it go I thought it was way short and then (when it went in) I went 'Oh my and thought we can't let them pick up the ball and score!'"
Germantown could only get off a rushed half-court heave at the buzzer.
Bay guard Ava Stock, who inbounded the ball to Jonas, never had a doubt.
"We can always count on Maya," she said with a laugh.
And the rest of the Blue Dukes are now happy that is the case because Jonas was actually playing only her third game of the season for Bay (6-2 in the North Shore and 9-6 overall) after undergoing knee surgery back in May.
"The funny thing was," Jonas said. "For the longest time all I could do was practice my three-point shooting because I couldn't take part in any contact drills. This (the shot and the win) makes up for a lot of time off."
"But I tell you, I couldn't have done it without the support of my teammates. No way I could have made it back (through all the rehab) without them."
"She worked just so hard," said Stock.
And because of Jonas' work and because of her return, the Blue Dukes now have a critical North Shore win that keeps them just a game back of North Shore leader Cedarburg (7-1, 10-3) which was a winner over Grafton tonight. Meanwhile, Germantown fell to 5-3 and 11-4 overall.
"...We just wanted to give ourselves a chance," said Capper, "and we wanted it in the hands in one of our best three outside shooters (including Stock and Jonas). I tell you, these kids worked so hard in preparation for this game. It meant a lot that they could absorb the energy and handle the hoopla."
"It was they who staying calm in the huddle, saying 'One (play) at a time, one at a time'"
"Going down the stretch I felt good about my composure. I hope they felt the same way."
The game was a stark turn of events from an early season rout the Blue Dukes had visited upon Germantown and was a vast offensive improvement for Bay from Jan. 11 when border rival Nicolet held it to just 24 points in Jonas' return.
"We'd been working on our response to their press all week," said Jonas of the Warhawks' fast-paced pressure and turnover-based attack. "I tell you it was a lot more fun playing that way than the way we did last week."
For Warhawk coach Matt Stuve it was a frustrating turn of events. His team had trailed the Blue Dukes since early in the first quarter by as much as 11 before eventually tieing the game at 55-all on Taylor Higginbotham's three-pointer with 2 minutes to go.
Both teams subsequently squandered attempts to take the lead, until the Warhawks Courtney Mehring hit one of two free throws with 47 seconds left. Bay then missed three close-in shots before Higginbotham made one of two free throws with 13 seconds to go to give Germantown a 57-55 advantage.
"We kept attacking and attacking," said Germantown coach Matt Stuve, "but if we hit a few more free throws we could have had a four-point lead (down those final seconds) and that's a lot easier to defend than a two-point advantage."
"We just opened the door for them a little bit."
Which Stock and Jonas were happy to step through.
Germantown would hit only 10 of 17 free throws on the night as opposed to seven of 10 for Bay.
The Warhawks were led by Mehring with 16 points as Higginbotham had 14 points, all in the second half, and Bridget Kelley seven.
"It would have been human nature to hang our heads after being down for so long," said Stuve, "but the kids kept fighting back even as the margin grew wider."
"And I can't enough about the play of Taylor (Higginbotham) in the second half. She just put us on her back. She just willed us back and was the best player of the floor."
...If we play with that fourth quarter intensity like we did tonight all the time, we'll be hard to beat."
Capper, Jonas and company would like to keep that same status for themselves. The Blue Dukes were led by forward Ashley Reed with 19 points, while Abi Harper had 11, Paige Kerwin 10 and Jamie Talbert and Jonas six each.
"You've got to be careful about poking your head out of the foxhole," said Capper of his team's narrow escape, "because this conference is just so tough right now."
"If we keep having total team efforts like this, we should be in good shape," said Jonas.

Crowd Attacks The US Ambassador In Beijing
Malcolm Moore, The Telegraph
Sep. 19, 2012, 6:19 AM
A crowd of around 50 Chinese protesters surrounded the official car of the United States ambassador in Beijing, who escaped unharmed, a State department spokesman said.
The melee occurred outside the gates of the US embassy on Tuesday and security guards had to intervene to protect Gary Locke, 62. The protesters caused minor damage to the vehicle, a statement from the embassy said.
"Embassy officials have registered their concern regarding today's incident with the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and urged the Chinese Government to do everything possible to protect American facilities and personnel," the statement said.
The incident happened on Tuesday, while large crowds of protesters were massed outside the Japanese embassy nearby, to demand that Japan relinquish control of an island chain claimed by China in the waters between the two countries.
The statement gave no details about the demonstrators who blocked Mr Locke's car, or what angered them.
However the Chinese artist and dissident Ai Weiwei tweeted a photograph of the protest on Tuesday afternoon, and said the crowd had chanted: "Down with US imperialism" and "Pay us back our money!" referring to the trillion dollars or so of US government debt that China holds.
Some Chinese observers have blamed the US for standing behind the Japanese on their claim, and suggested that the US is attempting to foment unrest in the region as a pretext for "pivoting" its naval forces back to the Pacific.
The incident came as the US Defence secretary, Leon Panetta, was meeting with senior Chinese leaders to reassure them that the US does not intend to "contain" China by building up a military presence in Asia.

Eliminate caffeine from your diet, Sam. Give it a try.
"Riding the Tiger" indeed, eh!
There are protests all the time in China, Janice Joplin style. "Freedom's just another word for nothing left to lose."
They don't make the news over here, but they certainly happen.
There's also something liberating about anonymity there.
We are tracked and controlled in the US to a far wider and more accurate extent than most Chinese are, certainly in the lower classes. We have less freedom, because we actually exercise it less, because we have more to lose.
The fact that we are all posting in a "Free Republic" with pseudonyms....?
"Pay us back our money..."
The world is salivating at the prospect of our economic collapse.
You know Rush has brought up the collapse several times on his show recently. He was being serious about it, not jocular. His indications were 18 months away, I thought it was much closer than that.
The things we don't know, we don't know. What we do know is... the government lies. We know the unemployment figures are rigged...but...what if they've lied about the debt? How would we know the real amount anyway?
Bernake printing like we're the Wiemar Republic...that's how we know. It is over...all that is left is to wake up the American people to their national poverty.
This is why we need a war. It's how the depression got ended...World War.
Meanwhile, Obama parties it up with a $800/per bottle, 350 bottle champagne tower.
Kerosene ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BWoClD6ot0M&feature=related ... Dang It World. America is growing tired of taking. Time for some giving!
Thanks odds. Much appreciation.
Well, you only had three choices.
Defend a weak assertion, concede the limitations of your argument, or bow out with graceless snark.
I shot 9 holes with Locke at Interbay, 7 or 8 years ago. It was pure chance I was a single and got thrown in with his threesome.
I, by no means, rub shoulders with the political class however, I've met a lot of politicians through my place of employment: Pelosi, Gorton, McDermmitt, Gregoire etc...
I totally disagree with his politics but, Locke was the first professional liberal I've met who didn't come off like a complete prick. He was pretty nice and didn't mention politics once.
He's the kind of guy you disagree with, but you'd be fine golfing with on a regular basis.
War does not end depressions, the death of FDR and his economic policies with him ended the depression
Upset about the crappy movies Jackie Chan stars in for Hollywood compared to the Hong Kong action film classics.
And any moment now we'll hear from Apple Inc that they've decided to move production of the highly profitable iPhone to the United States... Yep... Any moment... Just hold your breath there...
Translation: Sabre rattling by China while their workers are busy filling up shipping containers with Valentines day cards and Easter baskets...
The fact that the Depression dragged on for years convinced generations of economists and policy-makers that capitalism could not be trusted to recover from depressions and that significant government intervention was required to achieve good outcomes," Cole said. "Ironically, our work shows that the recovery would have been very rapid had the government not intervened." http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/FDR-s-Policies-Prolonged-Depression-5409.aspx
I'm not so sure those policies died with FDR.
Obama's New America
I have also heard that even though he is a big-time liberal, he is...by many accounts...a genuinely nice guy. Same for his wife, Mona.
One of the very few exceptions for his party.

so does this mean jug ears is off to Vegas again and funny how the American media has not mentioned this yet?
What a crock this media is and how Holder who should have been removed has got his racist DOJ working with media matters which stunningly is a tax exempt group.
The corruption from this admin is stunning.
China should prepare for Wild Angels (the angels are angry) ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7Z9lvUz2DI
Couldnt happen to a better target than that ObamaBot Gary Locke. He disproves the stereotype that all Asians are smart.
What I find most peculiar...from my understanding of China politics...there is no way that mob would have been able to form w/o Chinese govt sanction.
No THAT...I find most disturbing for the safety of US officials.
No. In the future, I'll just expect you to continue to be wrong.
Wow, "Hey Girl" Lisa Lu is still around and making movies.
Nice to see everyone finds this amusing. Obmama's weakness is harming the nation.
time to revisit the Engrish site I see..
(Sigh)...well, I suppose an apology was just too much to expect.
You post starts with the condescending "People would do well to remember this is the PRC. The Chi-coms."
Yes, in fact, everyone knows that. Thanks!
Then you went on to denigrate all these Chinese protesters as mere puppets of the government, conveying a diplomatic warning to the USA by, uh something....uh... showing up at a Japanese embassy protest first to make the secret message to the USA perfectly clear, to well, to you at least.
My response called you on both points, and now rather than back up your assertions, you pine for apologies to you? lol.
these commies ought to be throwing rose petals and singing songs of praise to the ambassador. The our traitorous US politicians and once USA (now global) corporations that brought them into the first world, and Wal-Mart destroyed our economy but made banksters rich.
Now instead of riding bicycles the Chinese are driving Buicks and building ICBMs, stealth aircraft, driving the price of energy up and making crappy products with cyanide etc in it that they sell to us.
I can understand they want their money back, but "imperialism"? Right now the Chicoms are in a better position to be imperialists than the US. Same exact thing happened to Mexico with France and Egypt with Britain. Chicoms will invade the US and take over because Obama borrowed money to buy used cars, start "shovel-ready" projects, and "stimulate" the economy. Mexico lost a war and a lot of territory to the US, and couldn't pay back France. Egypt built the Suez Canal, and Britain wanted more security for their loan. The US built what with the money borrowed from China?
China ordered this. Anyone who thinks otherwise is clueless.
Smart power strikes again. Maybe Obama should talk to these people and reason with them.
Not investments, Don't allow Chinese nationals to attend U.S Universities — kick the ones there out.
You're absolutely correct. Nothing like this could happen without authorization from the Chinese polituro. They were sending a message. There was no danger to the Ambassador, but it was an "in your face" insult at a time when Americans (if not the American government) still have an open wound because of what happened in Libya.
"China ordered this."
Absolutely right. The question is why the government ordered this.
I think it is to show the Islamic radicals around the world that China is not afraid to be disrepectful to the United States also.
Hilarious. LOL.
Further than that.
The Knights of Bushido: A Short History of Japanese War Crimes
"Short" being a relative term - 352 pages in the cited edition.
This is the classic, standard account of Japanese war crimes; a best seller in its time, but out of print for many years. Between 1931 and 1945 Japanese troops rampaged through one defeated country after another, executing civilians, despoiling cities, massacring prisoners and cruelly exploiting prisoners of war and native populations. This carefully constructed history charts this brutal swathe of destruction, objectively examines individual crimes and details the reasons behind Japan's unprecedented disregard for accepted humanitarian principles. Japanese troops behaved with considerable brutality in their war against China a campaign designed 'to punish the people of China'. The Nanking massacre of December 1937 was just one example of the appalling series of atrocities the Japanese inflicted on the conquered Chinese. Japan also excelled in the mistreatment of prisoners of war. Allied troops unfortunate enough to fall into Japanese hands were abused, humiliated, starved and forced to serve as slave labor. This sweeping indictment of atrocities committed by the forces of the Rising Sun is a detailed and carefully documented study and one which throws light onto one of the most disturbing episodes of World War II.
My vote is in the affirmative.
Thank GOD, that the fearless SecDef was there to assure them that we would do nothing with our military!!
Teddy is rolling over in his grave (Roosevelt not the swimmer) as America sinks
Can't ya feel the Love?
"And we'll be respected throughout the world" Yeah, right. /UltraMegaDrippingSarc
Looks like Obama really has changed the world view of America.
Good grief, I went to buy a new pair of Red Wings and even they are made in China now.
Also, those Chinese cooking shows really hacked them off all along the Yangtze River. Finally, Gene Karradin in Kung Fu, and that bald kid who played him as a young disciple. Sinkiang Province was in an uproar. Foolish mortals, keep copyrighted material off of You Tube.
Wasn't the movie. They were protresting the Japanese and just had a little spill-over of general enthusiasm.
for later
As a Chinese strategist once observed, "Now, when your weapons are dulled, your ardor damped, your strength exhausted and your treasure spent, other chieftains will spring up to take advantage of your extremity. Then no man, however wise, will be able to avert the consequences that must ensue."
Our strength, in a great many ways, is exhausted. It was only a matter of time before 'other chieftains' began to capitalize on our weakness.
"Leon Panetta, was meeting with senior Chinese leaders to reassure them that the US does not intend to "contain" China by building up a military presence in Asia."
This "peace through weakness" strategy is confusing me.
Liberals were right four years ago when they said the world would see us differently if Obama was elected ... He was - and they do... very differently.
Not to mention, "Have Gun, Will Travel" and Hey Boy.
There are indeed protests all the time in China often directed at the Party officials in a particular areal.
I thought the pseudonyms here where as much necessary because of the lunatic Left as the government. That and personal expressions.

What is DLESE?
How is DLESE pronounced?
How much does DLESE cost?
Who operates DLESE?
What is a resource?
What is a collection?
Does DLESE host the resources?
How do I find resources in DLESE?
I'm getting too many results from my search. How can I narrow the search?
Where do DLESE resources come from?
How does DLESE ensure the quality of its resources?
How does DLESE ensure that education standards are applied appropriately?
How can I contribute a resource to DLESE?
Does a "Resource of Interest" on the DLESE homepage mean it has been reviewed?
Currently, what is the number of reviewed resources?
Where is the list of review criteria for reviewed collections?
Who is the DLESE Community?
What is the National Science Digital Library (NSDL)? What is the relationship between it and DLESE?
There is a problem on the DLESE web site that I'd like to report.
DLESE is the Digital Library for Earth System Education, a geoscience community resource that supports teaching and learning about the Earth system. It is funded by the National Science Foundation and is being built by a community of educators, students, and scientists to support Earth system education at all levels and in both formal and informal settings. DLESE provides:
Resources in DLESE include lesson plans, scientific data, visualizations, interactive computer models, and virtual field trips - in short, any web-accessible teaching or learning material. Many of these resources are organized in collections, or groups of related resources that reflect a coherent, focused theme. In many ways, digital collections are analogous to collections in traditional bricks-and-mortar libraries.
All resources in DLESE have been contributed by community members, are relevant to Earth System education, and are checked periodically for technical stability. The Reviewed Collection includes those DLESE resources that have been more closely examined and are considered exemplary.
DLESE serves as the geoscience node in the National Science Digital Library (NSDL). NSDL serves the broader communities of science, technology, engineering, and math education.
Duh-lees-ee. In keeping with the library's community focus, this question was definitively resolved at the first DLESE Annual Meeting in Bozeman, MT in 2000. There, the K-12 working group noted that since the final "E" at the end of the acronym stands for Education—a "pronounced part of the effort"—it should also be pronounced in articulation of the acronym. The community appreciated both the pun and the sentiment, and it has been "duh-lees-ee" ever since.
Use of DLESE is free - DLESE is entirely funded by the National Science Foundation. The majority of the resources that you can discover in DLESE are free as well.
DLESE is operated by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) Computational and Information Systems Laboratory and the NCAR Library on behalf of the education community.
Resources in DLESE include lesson plans, scientific data, visualizations, interactive computer models, and virtual field trips - in short, any web-accessible teaching or learning material.
Collections are groups of related resources that reflect a coherent, focused theme. In many ways, digital collections are analogous to collections in traditional bricks-and-mortar libraries.
DLESE doesn't host resources. The value of DLESE is in its careful descriptions of its resources and services. These descriptions take the form of metadata records and are analogous to the cards in the card catalog of bricks-and-mortar libraries. The centerpiece of each metadata record is a description of the resource written by an Earth system educator, scientist, or librarian. The metadata also includes grade-level, technical requirements, creator, publisher, and for a subset of the collection, alignment to educational standards.
A search in DLESE is analogous to a search in a card catalog. In response to your search, you get a set of metadata records describing materials that match the criteria of your search. These records help you quickly decide which resource best meets your needs. Then you can follow a link to the resource. Although DLESE doesn't host any resources, we do check to be sure that the resources described in metadata records remain accessible and functional.
A resource of interest is not necessarily a reviewed item. It is usually a resource that has recently been accessioned into the library, or one that reflects a recent Earth event and is selected for its potential for use as a springboard for teaching.
The distribution of resources in the Reviewed collection can be obtained using a search for Educational resources. In the search box on the DLESE homepage (located on the Earth image), click on the blue Collections button, then select DLESE Reviewed Collection (DRC), and then click on the Search button. A search with no other qualifying terms will result in a list of all items in all reviewed collections. Selecting a specific reviewed collection only (e.g. Community Annotated Collection, DWEL or NASA ESE) will reveal the number of items in that discrete collection. Browse items in the DLESE Reviewed Collection .
DLESE recognizes multiple pathways to the Reviewed collection. Each collection must meet or address 7 basic criteria. They are:
a. scientifically accurate
b. important or significant
c. pedagogically effective: has student learning occurred?
d. well-documented
e. easy to use for students and faculty
f. ability to inspire or motivate students
g. robust/sustainable as a digital resource
All reviewed collections must articulate a review process that explicitly addresses each of these points at a minimum. Some systems may add additional criteria, and the mechanism for implementing the review process varies with each collection.
There are three ways you can find great educational materials in DLESE.
The easiest way is to use the blue Grade level, Resource type, Collections, and Standards drop-down menus to constrain your keyword search. You can also check the Search tips page. If you still cannot find suitable resources, please tell us what you are looking for.
While many resources are created by universities or large institutions interested in Earth System education, such as NASA, others are created by experienced educators who wish to share their work with colleagues. Resources are contributed to the library by their creators, by community members who have found them useful in their teaching, or as part of a thematic collection. If you have a favorite Earth system science educational resource, please suggest it to us.
All resources in DLESE have been contributed by community members, are relevant to Earth System education, and are checked periodically for technical stability. The Reviewed Collection includes those DLESE resources that have been more closely examined and are considered exemplary.
For more details about the quality of resources in DLESE, please see the Collection Policy.
Education standards are assigned by the people who catalog the resources. These includes teachers who have used them in their classes, collection builders, resource creators, and Earth scientists. DLESE also reviews the standards assigned to resources; any questions are discussed with the resource cataloger.
DLESE encourages library users, community members and resource developers to contribute to the library. This not only grows and strengthens the library, it encourages the reuse and sharing of materials. It takes about five minutes to suggest a resource you think should be in DLESE. This will place it on a list for possible future inclusion in the DLESE Community Collection (DCC), one of the many collections in DLESE.
The DLESE community includes anyone interested in Earth system science. In practice, DLESE consists primarily of K-12 teachers, college professors, and curriculum and material developers from numerous national organizations. DLESE is a freely available service that encourages open and diverse participation. DLESE does not require registration or a login.
You can post an item at any time and generally it will appear within 48 hours. We encourage you to use the DLESE posting tool for announcing news, events, and opportunities of interest to DLESE and Earth system science education communities. Please feel free to recommend this tool to other Earth system science-related email groups.
Send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com.

AAA 2010 Financial Accounting and Reporting Section (FARS) Paper
We examine the relation between disclosure tone and shareholder litigation to determine whether managers' use of optimistic language increases litigation risk. Using both general-purpose and context-specific text dictionaries to quantify tone, we find that plaintiffs target more optimistic statements in their lawsuits and that sued firms' earnings announcements are unusually optimistic relative to other firms experiencing similar economic circumstances. These findings are consistent with optimistic language increasing litigation risk. In addition, we find incrementally greater litigation risk when managers are both unusually optimistic and engaging in abnormal selling, consistent with insider sales signaling an intent to mislead underlying the manager's optimistic statements. Finally, we find that insider selling is associated with litigation risk only when contemporaneous disclosures are unusually optimistic.

GDFD No. 62: Me and you are done, you clowns
Ryan Lambert
February 13 2010 06:24PM
Welcome to the Game Day Fire Drill, for this, Calgary's 62nd game of the season on Feb. 13, 2010.
Last game before the Olympics. I don't know how to feel about you people.
On the one hand, all I learned from your opening ceremonies is that First Nations people wore a lot of brightly-colored clothing and you guys seem to do lots of acid. I'm pretty cool with a country that has both of those things.
But I think this is the last time you and I are going to be able to be friends for a while. As you probably know by now, I am an American. And there is nothing that I am going to relish more than seeing our great Olympians head up to Vancouver and kick your weaksauce Canadian asses all over the Great White North. Remember that World Junior tournament where John Carlson clowned Your Boys out in Your Sport and you all cried like stupid little ugly babies? No? Here's a reminder.
And now it's gonna be a whole hell of a lot worse than that.
Obviously every medal your lame athletes win will be on account of what I think we can all acknowledge is cheating and a general lack of class, couth and tact that is generally associated with the spirit of goodwill and sportsmanship of the Olympic Spirit. Americans embody that. Canadians not so much.
So yeah, you can expect a report from me on every great American success and every shameful Canadian failure (of which there should be many!), so keep peepin' FlamesNation.ca to learn about the many ways in which your representatives' disgraceful performances have dishonored your ancestors.
Oh, right. The Flames. They're gonna lose I bet. Whatever dude. Olympics.
God bless America.
The Calgary Flames (29-23-9 for 67 points. Eighth in the West, third in the Northwest) and the Anaheim Ducks (29-24-7 for 65 points. Eleventh in the West, fifth in the Pacific).
8 p.m. Mountain time and 10 p.m. Eastern time. All other time zones should try not to screw up the Opening Ceremonies next time (I'm lookin at you Gretzky!).
Pengrowth Saddledome, Calgary, Alberta.
Calgary is 14-14-3 at home this year, which is alarming. The Ducks are 10-16-5 on the road, and have lost five of their last eight road games.
What (to hate about the Ducks)
Saku Koivu — Despite being looked to not necessarily as a scoring threat, he still has 32 points in 51 games and has devoured 18:17 of ice time a night. He has been a fantastic signing for the Ducks and their struggles aren't his fault.
Scott Niedermayer — They might be Nieds'. Looks like he's finally gettin' up there, which isn't so bad when you're 36. The Hobo King of Canada has still provided the requisite offense with 34 points, but he's a minus-17.
Their treatment of Dan Sexton — Sexton came up in early December and went on a tear, scoring seven points in his first six NHL games after starting the year in the ECHL. After that, he went longer than two games without a point just once (and that was a three-game pointless streak in which the Ducks as a whole only scored seven goals). So how did they reward him for his 18 points in 28 games, which was a better point-per-game pace than all but Getzlaf, Perry, Selanne and Ryan? They sent him to the AHL on Jan. 29.
Because this is the last Flames game until March. Enjoy the game and cry yourself to sleep in the comments section.
you're so mean TLP :P oh well, it'll make canada winning that much sweeter.
Sweet merciful Gods of Hockey.
Is this really what I am reading today on this, the day of love?
I can't even begin to find all the errors in this piece - hopefully Coach Wilson can translate the success he has seen during the NHL season onto the Olympic Ice Surface.

Cura Salon in Sparta, WI will make you feel relaxed and we all need to be pampered.
Do you have an over worked body, tight shoulders, aching arms and hands? The service of massage although once looked to as a service only for the well to do, has now become a very necessity. It brings relaxation to quiet one's mind, but also the awareness of the abuse and repletion that we put our bodies through in our day to day obligations. Regular maintenance of this service and or reflexology would keep many people from future major health issues and possible surgeries, such as carpal tunnel. Muscle tightness does not allow for proper blood flow as well as energy flow, when this is restricted it leads to other issues.
Pain is one of the ways the body try's to communicate with us, but many ignore the symptoms and choose to numb the message with the use of drugs and other pain relievers.
The skin is the largest organ of the body, and keeping it clean and exfoliated helps with the passing of toxins and also useful nutrients to pass in and out. Body wraps and facials are a great service to support this action. They are a wonderful and relaxing way to honor and care for the wonderful body we have been giving. Facials keep your skin glowing, and help one to look years younger and feel the best!
I am the innkeeper of the Franklin Victorian Bed & Breakfast and I go to Cura Salon for my services. I look forward to seeing them and their beautiful setting. I feel relaxed and welcome as soon as I get there. They are professional and feel they look forward to serving me and making me feel special l when I GO RELAX. Can't Cura Salon when you are coming to stay with us for your next day of pampering Phone: (608) 487-9510.

Haysi train derailment update
HAYSIi, Va. - We learned late Monday afternoon that the cleanup of a train derailment near Haysi, Virginia will take longer than first thought. In fact, it could be early June before work is complete.
The site was inaccessible with the closure of the only road leading anywhere near the derailment, but we did get the opportunity to talk to one of the neighbors to the accident.
The only thing moving on the CSX rail line leading into Kentucky is railroad crews and equipment heading toward a derailment that happened nearly three weeks ago. Access to or even near the site was denied and the road leading to two homes near the site has been closed.
Late Monday afternoon, CSX spokesman Bob Sullivan released a statement confirming that it may be early June until the accident is cleaned up.
Containment and collection of propionic acid is being monitored and five cars containing liquid nitrogen fertilizer are to be transferred.
The road closure only effects two homes but it's the only way in and out for two families. "It's a biggie to me and a biggie for my neighbor of course, but they've been good about letting us by. There's nobody else down that road but me, my neighbor and our guests," says Jason Barton, who lives next door to the derailment.
The derailment still was a little too close for comfort for those nearby considering the leaking acid first reported. "It had bothered me originally but I've inquired about it several times. I've been told each time that all pH levels are at acceptable level and at this point it's pretty much back to normal," Barton said.
Except for the rail cars scattered all around his property. "Four of the tanker cars are actually on my property there. I've noticed no visible leaks of any kind since it happened and I was there the day it happened," he says.
Whether and how long things along the Russell Fork will return to normal is up to the cautious work of CSX and hazardous materials experts.

The research is focused on finding ways to encourage the government of China to attach more importance to civil solutions to climate change, such as voluntary emissions reduction and NGO participation. There are currently barriers in China to establish a voluntary emissions reduction system. Through literature review, field research and interviews, the research team is conducting an analysis of these problems looking at the past, present and the potential for future voluntary emissions reduction in China. This information will be used to make suggestions on public policy with regard to establishing a comprehensive voluntary emissions reduction system in China.

The financial burden for cancer survivors is significant. In a recent study, more than 30 percent of people living with cancer said they had practical concerns regarding financial issues. On top of monthly or yearly insurance premiums, extra costs such as co-pays, medication (chemotherapy or treatment) expenses, travel costs and lost wages are all part of the equation as you deal with a cancer diagnosis, treatment and survivorship.
Some practical ideas that may help as you navigate your way through these issues include:
Feel free to share ideas, pearls of wisdom and any resources that you have found helpful.

and lets not forget that besides the financial loss we have to deal with emotional problems as well. The guilt I feel for being the one to put us in this devastating position can be overwhelming. I think people forget that besides the medical bills we still have all those pesky living expenses and just when you see a glimmer of light...the washer breaks down, you need new tires on the car etc.
i was in the hospital for 1 1/2 months 2nd time for my cancer operation, 2 years apart. financial problems ,oh boy do i have them. it seems i asked all the charities and i can't get help. between medicine and supplies. i just can't seem to make ends meet.. it puts a strain on my family too.my landlord wants his money, but what can i do. i've tried everything i can. but i'm not giving up.
I wanted to thank Sandra for her comments and add the same problem exists for those having problems with late effects from treatment. I am a 17 year "survivor" and was "fortunate" to have insurance that covered enough of my medical costs that it wasn't an overwhelming burden. I'm sorry for those that have that battle to overcome. I struggled for about 7 years working through the fatigue and chemobrain issues I was experiencing since finishing treatment. When full time work became unbearable I tried working for myself and searching for help. Ten years later I still can't work much, no insurance, lost my house and still not able to find any assistances. It's real hard to consider all of this surviving. I hope there are others having better luck.
I was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer June 2007. Had a whipple surgery because it was caught early. Because of my age 78 I decided not to have Chemo or radiation. I new I would not be able to live without being very Ill.
Told at Mayo Clinic I would not live more than 6 months. Took my chances and it is now 4 years and not to sick. Tell others they to can survive if they have doubts about the treatments.. Thank you
Give me a break you people, money is a big problem for people with cancer or we wouldn't be talking about it. The astronomical costs, initially and on-going are enough to wreck your life and your family's life. Critical illness is a huge financial problem for everyone from the patient, society and government.
If you are really sick you don't have the time, energy or ability to think well enough to do what you need to do to get help.
I've been persistent and I have received a lot of generous help and for that I am grateful. But for the sake of those out there that don't know how or anyone to help them, please don't make it sound like anything is out there for the asking. It is just not that simple.
Having cancer is bad enough, trying to get help shouldn't be so hard.
It's reading these things that make me so glad that I live in British Columbia, where we have compulsory government health insurance. Our modest monthly premium (around $100 for a senior couple) has covered all treatment for my three (like Marsha) different primary cancers. That's surgery for all three, and radiation and adjuvant hormone therapy - letrozole - for my recent breast cancer. I will never have to pay for the letrozole out of my own pocket, and I expect to be taking it for at least 5 years.
I am amazed at the amount of help there is available for the looking. Like most things in life, it will not readily appear to you - you must do a search and be open to opportunities. As a social worker, I knew a lot of community resources and learned more when diagnosed with Lymphoma in 2009. Two months to live, treatment (chemo and radiaiton) saved my life. Unfortunately, two months into chemo, my work terminated me for being disabled/unable to work for three months. With no insurance, I thought I would lose my life and fight. Instead, I connected with the hospital social worker, the American Red Cross, and did a search on Internet for every wall I was up against. The American Red Cross offers many programs and I took advantage of those that assisted my condition, and kept my ears open to the patients I met along the way. Also, networked with my fellow patients on what they had discovered during my chemo and radiation treatments. I was eligible to receive assistance from the hospital for medical and prescription needs; still 18 months later they cover. I am forever grateful for these opportunities. Now if only I could find an employer willing to take me on as a staff member without the prejudice from lack of work in these past several months. Faith, believe, courage, hope, and peace of mind let me know the day will arrive that my final obstacle - getting back to work for a totally normal life again - will be conquered. Hang in there everyone :>)
I completely agree with the previous post! I've had cancers 2001, 2006, and 2010. I've been to every organization and church I could find. The Salvation Army won't help unless I have cut off notices which puts my rental agreement in jeopardy if I would do that. The local food shelter told me after the first two times with cancer that they are only for "short term" and I used up my help from them. The cancer society let me know that the finances for my kind of cancer had run out so they could not help. Another cancer organization gave me a 1 time help with gas to get to Johns Hopkins for surgery; but let me know they could only help once. I am a single mom without a support system that FALLS BETWEEN THE CRACKS for help and am in financial and emotional devastation.
I never dreamed I would have a third primary cancer. Sure enough, renal cell, an exact duplicate of my mother's cancer which did reappea 3 1/2 yrs. later. Then she died. I have already lost my job because my recovery and complicatins since the surgery in 2009. Needless to say, my finances changed. I have felt like I have been penalized for being sick. Less sick pay and SSD than I made when working. I have found that most hospitals will help you with a payback plan. It is a constant struggle.I have Lynch Syndrome, a genetic cancer that will probably show it's ugly face again. I feel like I will never have financial freedom. I say though, don't give up. I also have type one diabetes mellitus and cost are there also with the insulin pump. Be willing to put yourself out there. I have found help through charities also. Even with insurance, my co pays have been very costly. It is amazing that I am still living. My two other cancers were ovarian, and colon cancer. I pray everyday and feel that faith still goes a long way. I say to myself, God has a reason for me to still be here and somehow I meet the budget every month. Please search every avenue. I was very surprise of the help I got. Thank you.
Here's my pearl: don't get cancer if you don't have insurance.
In September I will file for my 2nd bankruptcy, thanks to the "health care team" I had to use. The Salvation Army paid my rent one month, friends had to help...

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
In the August Huntington city Council meeting, it again was clarified that Huntington City has no involvement in any proposed restoration of the flour mill located at about 550 W. 400 N. in the city. The flour mill is on the National Historical register. A preservation organization that is accepting additional members is being formed and will be responsible for any work performed. During the public comment period, a concerned citizen questioned this again and seemed satisfied with the answer that Huntington city was not involved in this organization.
Councilperson Julie Jones then led a discussion on clarifying cemetery rules and regulations, which were later adopted by the council. Cemetery property, which before was non-transferable, can now be transferred with written permission from the mayor and the sexton. Also changed was the size of monuments allowed in the cemetery with prior approval. It was clarified as to who is responsible for the placing, cleaning, raising, repair or removal of markers or monuments. Perpetual care funds of cemetery lots will now be in default after a single year rather than the previous 10 years.
In other business, Mayor Hilary Gordon commented the Desert Edge Christian Chapel thanked the city for weed removal on public property near their location and again thanked the city for the sidewalk along Main Street between 400 South and 500 South. The chapel recently finished more landscaping along that sidewalk and is getting ready for more improvements including a pavilion and grass for a soccer field. These improvements will be available to all, not just church members.
Councilperson Jerry Livingston reported the summer construction season is nearing an end and all projects in the city are progressing nicely. Livingston reminded residents that it is against city ordinance to park on sidewalks and that includes in driveways. Now that the city has more new sidewalks, this is important to remember.
Councilperson Travis Larsen reported there is sufficient water still in our reservoirs and that city use will not be restricted this year. Electric Lake is at 82 percent full, Huntington is at 90 percent, Millers Flat is at 78 percent, Cleveland at 59 percent and Huntington North is at 63 percent.
Larsen reported the city will receive a new fire truck this fall and will then retire one of the older trucks. The city has added an additional $500 to the fireworks fund so that Heritage Days can have a longer show next year.
The city will be touring the Huntsman Motors building to evaluate turning the building into a fire station. It is questioned if the doors are currently big enough for the trucks but that will be looked at to see if it will work. The location would benefit the city and those who need response as the location is on the highway and not in a residential area. This consideration for use of this building is early in the process but if viable, government grants would be applied for the purchase of the building.

UT Tyler Department of Accounting, Finance, & Business Law
Professional opportunities in the field of accounting include professional practice as a certified public accountant, corporate accountant, controller and government sector fiscal officer. The accounting career path often leads to responsible positions in organizations such as vice president of finance or president. Accounting is also excellent training for graduate business degrees (e.g. the MBA) and for law school.
The undergraduate degree in accounting is currently designed to guide students to complete all of the accounting requirements necessary to sit for the Certified Public Accountant (CPA) Exam. At the current time, however, the State of Texas requires individuals to complete 150 semester credit hours of higher education prior to taking the CPA exam. Thus, students will require additional course work after graduating with a BBA in accounting before they are qualified to sit for the CPA exam.Objectives
Educational outcomes for students who complete the accounting major include the following:
- Complete the accounting courses necessary to sit for the CPA exam.
- Comprehend the policy, environmental, regulatory and compliance issues of accounting.
- Understand and exercise the ethical and professional responsibilities of an accountant.
- Understand the content, concepts, structure and use of internal and external reporting for organizations.
- Analyze, anticipate and meet the information needs of decision makers.
- Understand different costing systems and their application to both manufacturing and service organizations.
- Comprehend and develop systems to identify, gather, measure, summarize and analyze financial and nonfinancial data in organizations.
- Understand and apply the concepts, methods and processes of accounting and administrative control.
- Understand the nature of attest services.
- Understand and apply the principles of taxation to financial and managerial decisions.

The other change up front sees Wian du Preez replace the injured Julien Brugnaut (groin) while McGahan's bench has a decidedly youthful look to it drawn as it is from either Academy or Development players, the only exception being Tom Gleeson who sits out the start behind Lifeimi Mafi.
With three of the regular Os not available by international dictat, Paul Warwick slips into the number 10 jersey while the fourth O, Mick O'Driscoll will captain the side.
Munster, although buoyed by their bonus point win over Connacht last time out will need no reminding of the type of challenge that they face on Saturday.
"It's easily one of the toughest games of any season." says skipper Mick O'Driscoll. "They have a great home record and besides that, last weekend without key players, they gave a full strength Leinster one helluva game. So yes, it's going to be very difficult to get anything out of this one. Always is in Ravenhill, but these are the sort of games you want to play in and I'd be happy with our form going into it."
Munster. Denis Hurley; Doug Howlett, Lifeimi Mafi, Jean de Villiers, Ian Dowling; P Warwick, P Stringer; W du Preez, D Varley,T Buckley; M O'Driscoll, D Ryan; B Holland, N Ronan, J Coughlan. Replacements: M Sherry, S Archer, P O'Mahony, T O'Donnell, D Williams, S Deasy, T Gleeson.
