Jonathan G. Katz, Secretary
Securities and Exchange Commission
450 Fifth Street, N.W.
Washington, D.C. 20549-0609
Re: Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Proposed Rule (File No. S7-13-00), Revision of the Commission's Auditor Independence Requirements
Dear Mr. Katz:
I am writing to you about the Securities and Exchange Commission's proposed revisions to Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X, which sets forth the requirement for independence of accountants practicing before the Commission.
I am also troubled that the Commission has chosen to tie its long overdue modernization of the financial interest and family relationships rules to a major proposal on the scope of practice and then provide an unreasonably short comment period. Limiting to 75 days the period for commenting on a far-reaching and highly complex proposal, including responding to more than 400 questions, collecting and analyzing a great deal of data and considering alternative concepts for regulating auditor independence, is political gamesmanship, and I find that very disappointing.
The Commission suggests that these revisions are needed because non-audit services `may' or `could' affect auditor independence. The Commission never states that such services `do' affect or `have' effected auditor independence. This is because there is no link between a broad scope of services and any degradation of audit quality. Numerous studies have borne this out.
In fact, the O'Malley Panel on Audit Effectiveness, which was formed at the request of the Commission, concluded that a broad scope of services often improved the quality of an audit, identifying specific instances in which a non-audit service actually enhanced the quality of the audit. The O'Malley Panel identified 37 engagements that involved both audit and non-audit services to clients, none of which resulted in the Panel identifying any instance in which providing non-audit services had a negative effect on audit effectiveness. Further, the Panel is not aware of any instances of non-audit services having caused or contributed to an audit failure or the actual loss of auditor independence.
The Commission's proposal is contrary to the findings of the O'Malley Panel. There are simply no conclusive studies to support such a change. In fact, the Commission's suggestion that non-audit services `may' or `could' affect auditor independence indicates a lack of understanding of the risk model. The consultant's risk of loss on a consulting project is usually limited to fees paid. The auditor's risk of loss for a blown audit can be hundreds or thousands times fees, depending on the losses of creditors, investors or other financial statement users. The belief that I would turn the other cheek on an audit issue to save a consulting assignment ignores the relative risk of those options.
The O'Malley Panel also said that in the final analysis, the most important determinants of audit effectiveness are the personal attributes and skills of the individual auditor. I agree. Auditors, who have a duty to protect the public interest, need to be able to say no to management. The Commission has addressed this concern with the Audit Committee Rules put in place in 1999 and the Commission should give those rules a chance to work.
In 1996, former SEC Commissioner Steve Wallman wrote "If we keep saying that we must guard against appearances being tainted even though there is no tainting in fact, then we confuse the public and ...promote bad public policy." He concluded that a "prohibitive approach focusing on the provision of non-audit services to audit clients...appears to be wholly without any empirical support indicating any lack of objectivity in fact resulting from the provision of non-audit services to audit clients."
Unintended Consequences
I am concerned with the new structure that this change would bring. With firms no longer able to assist audit clients with non-audit services, the audit merely becomes a commodity. I am convinced that audit quality would be compromised from several aspects. Not only would firms lose an important source of revenue needed to invest in improving audit quality and evolving technology changes but may not have access to traditional and non-traditional talent needed for audit projects.
The impact on recruiting and retaining talent in an "audit only" environment will be severe. The "audit-only" firms endorsed by the proposal will have difficulty attracting the necessary talent both from accounting programs and from information technology programs, because the best talent will be drawn toward industries with broader career opportunities. The reason audit firms need these professionals is clear - the businesses and systems that auditors test are growing more diversified and complex, and they need expertise to perform the highest quality audits. A mandated change to the accounting profession is unwarranted and unsubstantiated.
Cascade Effect
I am a partner in a large accounting firm with 16 offices throughout Michigan and Ohio. We currently provide audit services for only 14 SEC registrants. On the surface, these proposed changes would seem to have an insignificant impact on our practice. On the contrary, we believe the impact to us will be severe because the SEC's proposed rules will surely reach beyond publicly-held companies. With a precedent set by these rules, others, including Department of Labor, General Accounting Office, banking agencies, insurance regulators, and State Boards of Accountancy, are sure to follow suit, affecting all audit engagements, not just those of registrants. The State Boards of Accountancy for New York, California, Colorado and South Carolina have already indicated that they would seek the new proposed SEC rules for their state. If the Ohio State Board of Accountancy adopts similar rules, it would have a dramatic negative impact on businesses all across the state, especially smaller businesses outside the major urban areas, where choices of service providers are much more limited.
The SEC's proposal to restrict the services offered by accounting firms represents a fundamental restructuring of a profession that has successfully given investors the reliable, independent data they need for the past century. A decision by a government agency to tell some business organizations what services they may offer and to tell other businesses from whom they can buy services is an extraordinary economic intervention, and it is being made without any empirical or other basis. The forced restructuring and broad sweeping changes represent a restraint of trade, will compromise audit quality, is anti-business and would impede the progress of our clients that our firm has been serving diligently and conscientiously for over 75 years.
I would be pleased to discuss this with you further. Please contact me at (419) 843-6000.
Very truly yours,
Michael Marciniak, CPA

at the Admiral Rodney
Over the coming months we will be introducing a selection of delicious gins for you to try at the Admiral Rodney. Make sure you head down to ensure you don't miss the gin of the moment!
Read about the current gin on offer below and come along to try it for yourself. Be quick, as it won't be around for long!
Available at Admiral Rodney from 1st March to 30th April. Don't miss out!
Mor is a bold and innovative gin made with old school traditions at the Arderin Distillery in Tullamare, Co Offaly - a craft distillery founded by Eoin Bara in 2015.
The inspiration for the gin came from tales of relentless adventure and distilling legacy stretching back three generations to the 1930s when Eoin's grandfather was a Master distiller of a world renowned Irish Whiskey in the same town.
The gin is used with natural ingredients which means that every bottle is unique. Each blend is tested for flavour, strength and consistency each time. Our unique blend of botanicals are hand mixed and stepped to create the perfect balance of flavours.
Following that fresh water is lightly filtered through the blend to add a crisp, clear, finish to the wild, bold, flavour our gin is known for.
Big and bold flavours are key to the gin. The guiding principle is a taste not acquired but enjoyed.
Earthy at first, with coriander and rosemary making a big impression. Sweet and juicy with big bundles of fresh berry notes at the core. A slight peppery hint on the finish.
Juniper Berry
The key ingredient to all gin. The aroma and taste of juniper is th signature note which makes gin an incomparable spirit.
Cranberry pairs well with rosemary, and rounds the sweetness of the other two berries. Allowing for a fuller flavour
The sweet-tart flavour and earthy quality of Blackberries adds both a sweet and savoury profile to our gin. The moderately high acidity of Blackberries cuts through the rich flavours of our botanicals.
The star berry of Mór, a distinct flavour like no other. Sweet but not sugary, balanced and refined.
Each of the botanical elements within the gin are chosen with care and attention to flavour and fragrance. The gin is made using a four part distillation method.
Fresh blackberries, cranberries and raspberries are steeped overnight and distilled before being blended with the four core botanicals of juniper, rosemary, angelica root & coriander. Through steeping the botanicals this allows each ingredient to release its full flavour, helping to create this unique bold flavour for our quality gin.
The average batch size is around 1200L. Fresh fruit is sourced in the summer from Ireland as much as possible such as raspberries, blackberries and rosemary. The juniper comes from Macedonia, the coriander from Italy, cranberries from the USA and German angelica root.
Once you have tried this delicious limited edition gin, why stop there? We have an excellent selection of gins within our range for you to experiment with different styles and flavours. Check out our range below to see what takes your fancy.

|A Findagrave.com photo that I took and don't care who knows it.
If you have read this blog for any amount of time you know that I hold copyright very dear to my heart. I have posted numerous links to public domain photos and content. But I believe that Find A Grave should be in the same realm. The photos are uploaded by users for the intent of sharing content. If they didn't want them shared with the world they wouldn't have posted them in the first place. I have posted numerous photos and have seen the same photos on several trees on Ancestry.com. I don't care because I wanted to share the images to help other people. After all, that is the intent of the Find A Grave site.
From the Findagrave.com FAQs page:
Why did you create Find A Grave?
We believe this information is important for many reasons. It is of great historical importance to have a record of all those who have been a part of our collective humanity. Burial information is a wonderful resource for people researching their families (genealogists). Most importantly, visiting a gravesite is a way of keeping the memory of someone alive. We aim to create a comprehensive 'virtual cemetery' where loved ones can visit graves, leave flowers, etc. when they cannot do so in real life due to geography, finances or other circumstances.
So, what is the issue? If Find A Grave is a free site whose content is loaded by its end users, why the need for the copyright restriction? I completely understand Find A Grave's need to cover themselves with the copyright mention on their facts page. However, I believe that in order to post images to the site the users should comply to an agreement that the photos they upload become part of the public domain available for use by the general public. After all, we're talking about photos of gravestones, not something you are going to sell at an art gallery. As for photos of individuals and newspaper clippings, that is the user's choice, but newspaper clipping images don't technically belong to them either.
The bottom line is this: If you want to retain copyright to an image and squirrel it away for yourself, don't post it on a publicly accessible and free website. It's that simple. I don't think there is any need, in this instance, to request the use of the photos. I think it should be inherent. What are your thoughts?

Officer Gregg Maloney, 44, was killed in a motorcycle accident on April 1.
PLYMOUTH – Thousands turned out Monday and Tuesday to pay their respects to a Plymouth police officer who died in a crash while on patrol last week.
Officer Gregg Maloney, 44, was killed in a motorcycle accident last Tuesday.
His wake was held Monday at Memorial Hall. The funeral and burial will be held Tuesday.
On Sunday, mourners remembered Maloney at a vigil that started with a motorcade of bikes, antique cars and muscle cars, which Maloney loved.
"It's overwhelming support from the community," Police Chief Michael Botieri said.
Hundreds of people filled Brewster Garden – a park Maloney patrolled daily.
The funeral Mass will be celebrated at 11 a.m. Tuesday at St. Peter Church, 86 Court St.
Following the Mass, a procession will proceed from St. Peter's north on Court Street to Samoset Street and then turn west to Vine Hills Cemetery. The Plymouth Police Department will march on foot in this procession, which will also include motorcycles from the Metropolitan Law Enforcement Council Mobile Operations Unit.
Samoset Street will be closed to traffic during the procession, and the eastbound Route 3, Exit 6, off-ramps will be closed.
Court Street, from Brewster Street to Samoset Street, will be closed to traffic beginning at 8 a.m. through the duration of the funeral.
Parking will be banned on Court Street between Lothrop Street and Brewster Street and on Vernon Street, South Park Avenue and in the lot behind Memorial Hall until the funeral has concluded.
Parking will be available on Water Street, at East Bay Grill and at the Radisson Hotel. Parking meters will not be enforced during the hours of the wake and funeral.
Investigators still do not know why Maloney's bike went down, and the crash remains under investigation.

(CNN) -- Real Madrid will head into a big week knowing the club's Spanish title bid is back on track and that one of its records will stand for at least another season.
Carlo Ancelotti's team will be just three points behind Barcelona ahead of next weekend's "Clasico" at Camp Nou after the La Liga champion dropped its first points this campaign in Saturday's 0-0 draw at Osasuna.
It was the first time in 64 league matches Barca had failed to score, despite the introduction of Lionel Messi midway through the second half.
Second-placed Atletico Madrid then surrendered the division's only other 100% record, losing 1-0 at Espanyol to also fall one win short of the 1968-69 Real side's benchmark beginning.
Read: Ferguson backs struggling Moyes
Ancelotti, meanwhile, was lifted by a 2-0 win at home to Malaga earlier in the day which lifted some of the building pressure on the Italian.
"Today I am happy, we have to keep going and keep improving, but the team has done well today, the week has started well," the former Milan and Chelsea coach said.
Angel Di Maria put Real ahead a minute into the second half with a speculative cross that bamboozled the keeper, and Cristiano Ronaldo sealed victory in time added on with a penalty after substitute Gareth Bale was brought down in the box.
Marquee signing Bale is now in contention to face Juventus in the European Champions League on Wednesday, having impressed on his return from injury.
"Bale has no problems and is another option. We will see now that we have three days of training before the next match," Ancelotti said.

He backed Ronaldo after the Portugal forward -- who hit the bar in the first half -- apologized to fans for not scoring earlier in the match.
"He was not happy because he wanted to score -- he had chances and I said that the today it was just not his day, but he showed a cool mind in scoring the penalty because when it is not your day, it is not difficult to miss a penalty," the 54-year-old added.
Barca coach Gerardo Martino shrugged off his side's frustrating day ahead of Tuesday's Champions League trip to Milan.
"We should have won given the chances we created. I'm pleased with the team's performance," the Argentine said.
"We weren't accurate in front of goal. In the first half we were missing that final pass. We were off by centimeters.
"I would be concerned if there had been a decline in our performance. We tied because that's how it had to be -- I don't think our level has dropped."
Atletico's perfect run came to an end in the Catalan capital as Espanyol triumphed thanks to a bizarre own-goal from goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, who could only divert Juan Fuentes' 55th-minute cross into his own net via his outstretched foot.
Atletico did breach the opposition's goal, but Mario Suarez was offside when he headed in Koke's free-kick.
In Saturday's other La Liga game, Valencia missed a chance to stay in touch with the top four after losing 2-1 at home to Real Sociedad.
Bayern Munich returned to the top of the Bundesliga after coming from behind to beat Mainz 4-1, with substitute Mario Gotze inspiring a second-half fightback.
The 21-year-old set up Arjen Robben's equalizer and was also involved as Thomas Muller and Mario Mandzukic made it 3-1. Muller sealed the scoring with a penalty after Bastian Schweinsteiger was fouled.
It extended the German and European champion's unbeaten run to 34 matches, two short of Hamburg's longstanding league record.
Borussia Dortmund reclaimed second place with a 1-0 win at home to Hanover, thanks to Marco Reus' first-half penalty.

It gave last season's runner-up a goal-difference advantage over third-placed Bayer Leverkusen -- whose controversial Friday win against Hoffenheim, courtesy of a goal that went through the sidenetting, will be reviewed on Monday.
Fourth-placed Hertha Berlin, another seven points back, beat Borussia Moenchengladbach 1-0, while Schalke took fifth as Roman Neustaedter's injury-time goal earned a 3-2 win at bottom club Eintracht Braunschweig.
Second-bottom Freiburg drew 0-0 at Werder Bremen, while it was 1-1 between Eintracht Frankfurt and Nuremberg.
AC Milan notched a morale-boosting 1-0 win at home to Udinese, moving into the top half of the Serie A table thanks to Valter Birsa's first-half goal.
Brazil midfielder Kaka came on as a second-half replacement after a month on the sidelines with injury, as severely-depleted Milan bid to put together a match-fit squad for Tuesday's home clash with Barca.
Cagliari won 2-1 against 10-man Catania in the club's first match in 18 months at its renovated home stadium, joining ninth-placed Udinese on 10 points from eight rounds.
Second-placed Juve will seek to cut the gap on leader Roma to two points by winning at Fiorentina on Sunday.
Ligue 1 champion Paris Saint-Germain went three points clear with a 4-0 drubbing of Bastia, as star strikers Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani scored twice each.
Monaco can regain the lead on goal difference by winning at bottom club Sochaux on Sunday.
Lille moved up to third with a 1-0 win at Montpellier, while Nantes beat Ajaccio by the same score to also go above Marseille -- defeated at sixth-placed Nice on Friday.

It happens every year at E3, the world's largest videogame expo. Inevitably, the games that get people the most excited are the ones that won't be out that year. That was particularly true this year—as some of the biggest titles on display won't hit retail shelves until holiday 2011. It's frustrating for players, but for stockholders, it can make the case for a long-term investment.
Action games (and shooters) are the largest sales category in gaming—making up 32 percent of all sales. A blockbuster title can also make a company's year.

I thought I'd quickly show off my latest hauls from Nippon –
Kiss Veil Pact Powder – I hate powders but I can't deny that my face is turning into slime in the summer and this compact is supposed to reduce redness and moisturise. This is shade 03 –
Mmmmm this is my favourite thing, EVER. Esprique Precious gel eyeliners, in pink and blue. These are both limited edition for summer – these colours are vivid and absolutely gorgeous!!! Gorgeous!!! Espriques gel liners are my favourite – they have texture like buttah – better than any other I own:
These are the new glossy eyeshadows. They are creams that dry quickly – I chose the pink and cool brown duo (there is also a warm brown and a blue and a lilac).
Smudged in:
These are AMAZING – when they dry they do completely give the wet look – they shimmer and gleam and do not crease. So gorgeous, I want all the other colours!
I bought one Fasio gloss in beige to try out. Its only medium shimmery, but the pigment is lovely:
I have never tried kiss lipsticks before but I am fond of these. They feel like glazes – I noticed the newer ones are too sheer, so I chose old colours – Earl Gray a nude brown and a Tulip Kiss, a warm pinky gold.
I am a sucker for spring greens so got the Kiss polish in pastiche. I have some kind of disorder where I can't own only one of something so I chose Apricot to go with it, a very glitter peach:
In other news I am madly in love with my EEE 900. It is a tiny 9 inch (yes boys, a tiny 9 inches) – although I hate Windows XP so much. I am a MAC girl! –
25 packs of gem stones arrived for me – what are they for you ask?..you wil have to wait and see!:
I picked up this mirror in a cheap jewellery store. It reminds me of the Anna Sui rose and teal is my favourite colour:
Oh yeah I also got SANA pore putty. I've heard good things about this as an eyeshadow base and as a concealer, but, it does only come in one shade so I will have to see if it works on my tanning skin!

Unofficial Opinion 2008-1
A probate judge serving in a county with a population of over 96,000, where jury trials are authorized in the probate court, must have been both admitted to the practice of law and be a member of the Georgia Bar for seven years prior to his or her election.
You have asked whether O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑4, which applies to counties with a population of more than 96,000 persons and where jury trials may be held in the probate court, requires that an individual serving as a probate judge must be a member of the State Bar of Georgia. The answer to your question is yes. It is my opinion that a probate judge serving in such a county must have been both admitted to the practice of law and be a member of the
The Georgia Constitution provides that there shall be a judge of the probate court in each of the State's 159 counties. Ga. Const. Art. IX, Sec. I, Para. III (a). As a county constitutional officer, a probate judge is elected by the qualified voters of the county and serves a four year term.
In exercising its constitutional authority, the General Assembly has enacted a number of statutes addressed to the qualifications necessary to hold the office of probate judge. Basic eligibility requirements provide that no person shall be eligible to offer for election to or hold the office of judge of the probate court unless the person:
(A) Is a citizen of the
(B) Is a resident of the county in which the person seeks the office of judge of the probate court for at least two years prior to qualifying for election to the office and remains a resident of such county during the term of office; [1]
(C) Is a registered voter;
(D) Has attained the age of 25 years prior to the date of qualifying for election to the office, but this subparagraph shall not apply to any person who was holding the office of judge of the probate court on July 1, 1981;
(E) Has obtained a high school diploma or its recognized equivalent; and
(F) Has not been convicted of a felony offense or any offense involving moral turpitude contrary to the laws of this state, any other state, or the
O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑2(a)(1). Probate judges must also complete a training and certification program within one year of taking office and continue any mandated training throughout their terms of office. O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑1.1. The failure to meet and maintain the necessary training and certification requirements may result in a probate judge being removed from office. O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑1.1(d). A probate judge may also not serve as an executor, administrator, guardian, or other agent of a fiduciary nature in his or her own court and is restricted on the type of law and cases that he or she may handle where the underlying matters relate to cases that have been or may be within the probate judge's own court's jurisdiction. O.C.G.A. §§ 15‑9‑2(b); 15‑9‑3.
In addition to these requirements and restrictions, the General Assembly has also provided for additional qualifications for probate judges serving in counties with (1) a population of more 96,000 persons under the 1990 or any future decennial U.S. Census and (2) where the probate court is authorized by law to provide for jury trials. O.C.G.A. §§ 15‑9‑4, 15‑9‑120 through 15‑9‑127. In those circumstances, the probate judge must have attained the age of 30 at the time of election and have "been admitted to practice law for seven years preceding election." O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑4(b). [2] Probate judges elected under these provisions are also prohibited from engaging in the private practice of the law. O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑4(a).
Your question is what is meant by the statutory requirement that a probate judge in such counties shall have "been admitted to practice law for seven years preceding election." You have asked whether this means that the individual must be and have been for seven years a member of the State Bar of Georgia or whether membership in another state's Bar would be sufficient to satisfy this "practice requirement." The Supreme Court of Georgia has on at least three separate occasions addressed similar language establishing a "practice requirement" for judicial branch officers, and has interpreted this type of language to mean a continuing membership in good standing in the State Bar of Georgia for the specified period of time. The Court has specifically rejected the idea that service in another state's Bar would satisfy such a practice requirement.
In Wallace v. Wallace, 225
The Court continued and clarified this interpretation of a constitutional and statutory "practice requirement" provision again in its decision in Whitmer v. Thurman, 241
[n]o person shall be a district attorney, unless at the time of his election he shall have attained twenty-five years of age, shall have been a citizen of the State for three years, and shall have practiced law for three years next preceding his election.
Ga. Const. of 1976, Art. VI, Sec. XIII, Para. I (former Ga. Code Ann. § 2‑4201); Whitmer, 241 Ga. at 569‑70 (citing former Ga. Code Ann. § 24‑2901) ("'No person is eligible to the office of district attorney … who has not been duly admitted and licensed to practice law in the superior courts for at least three years.'") The Court rejected the challenger's claim that prior practice as a member of the State Bar of California should be counted towards his meeting the
It is clear that the intent of the legislature when it imposed this practice requirement was to insure that the individuals who were elected to the office of district attorney would be experienced in the practice of law before the courts in which they would be required to perform their functions as district attorneys. It would be contrary to this intent to allow individuals who have not been licensed to practice before our superior courts to include their practice time in other states as partial satisfaction of Code §§ 2‑4201 and 24-2901, the three-year practice requirement.
Whitmer, 241
In Littlejohn v. Cleland, 251
[n]o person shall be a Justice of the Supreme Court, a Judge of the Court of Appeals, or a Judge of Superior Courts, unless, at the time of his election, he shall have attained the age of thirty years, and shall have been a citizen of the State three years, and have practiced law for seven years.
Ga. Const. of 1976, Art. VI, Sec. XIII, Para I (former Ga. Code Ann. § 2‑4201); Littlejohn, 251
Since a person may not practice law unless he or she is a member of the State Bar, a person cannot qualify for an office requiring law practice unless he or she is a member of the State Bar.
Littlejohn, 251
All three of these decisions of the Supreme Court interpret requirements that a candidate for office must have "practiced law" for some period of time preceding his election. This is the same type of requirement that is established for probate judges in the applicable counties subject to O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑4(b). In these three opinions the Supreme Court has repeatedly held that this type of requirement means both that the candidate seeking office under such a requirement must be a member of the State Bar of Georgia and that the candidate must have been a practicing member of the State Bar of Georgia for the time period prescribed by law. Such a conclusion in this instance is also consistent with the policy purposes of the General Assembly, as outlined in Whitmer, 241
Therefore, it is my opinion that a probate judge serving in a county subject to the requirements of O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑4 must have been admitted to the practice of law and be a member of the
Prepared by:
Deputy Attorney General
[1] An exception to the two-year residency requirement of O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑2(a)(1)(B) is provided for chief deputy clerks in counties with a population of over 550,000 where the chief deputy clerk has served in that position for more than two years. In that case, under O.C.G.A. § 15‑9‑2(c), the chief deputy clerk is eligible to fill a vacancy in the balance of the unexpired term of the incumbent in accordance with the provisions of O.C.G.A.§ 15‑9‑11.1.
[2] These requirements applied to individuals qualifying to run for the office of probate judge at elections held after June 30, 2000, and did not apply to incumbent probate judges in office at the time of the passage of this statute unless and until the judge sought to qualify for re-election. O.C.G.A. § 15-9-4(c); 2002 Op. Att'y Gen. U2002-3; see also 1978 Op. Att'y Gen. 78-20 (This practice requirement must be met at the time the person is actually elected to the office in question.)
[3] Courts of other states have reached the same conclusion in addressing practice requirements, following and citing Littlejohn v. Cleland with approval.

Caroline von Grone
Double Reflection (2014 - 2017)
Double reflection 13 (Bettina S.), 2016
Double reflection 8 (FC Gundlach), 2015
Temporary studio at Lehmbruck-Museum, 2016
The exhibition "Double Reflection" featuring portraits from the eponymous series by Caroline von Grone, will be on view from 20 May to 26 August 2017 at Galerie m Bochum. The Hamburg-based artist has been working on these two-part works since 2014, for a time in a
temporary studio
at Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg, portraying in some cases people she encountered in the Kantpark just outside. The portraits are now being shown for the first time in a large-scale show. The artist plans to make further paintings at Galerie m to continue this series, enabling visitors to experience her at work.
"Double Reflection" consists of sets of two portraits showing the same sitter in the same pose. The artist paints one image in color on canvas directly after the model, and the second is rendered as an oil sketch on a white background after a photograph. "A photo is not always a good likeness of the person. But when they are sitting before me as model, their own atmosphere charges the space all around – and that in turn changes the portrait," says von Grone, adding: "It's only then that the complexity of the personality is fully revealed."
When examining the finished works, the difference between the two processes of depiction, between presentation and representation, authenticity and cipher, is quite striking. The observed portrait, which bears Caroline von Grone's own inimitable touch and intense coloring, seems more individualized and multi-layered. By contrast, the oil sketch done after the photograph offers only vague lines suggesting the basic contours, making a more stereotypical and distanced impression.
The artist is working with people from all walks of life for her project "Double Reflection," among them completely random encounters. She subjects all persons portrayed, whether known or unknown, to the same soberly observed, concept-oriented painting method. Von Grone's body of work conveys an intense exploration of the medium of painting in the field of tension between a clearly defined formal structure, abstract gestural color, and arresting realism.

Field Culture & Lake Pictures
July 8th - September 30th 2011
From Friday, July 8th, on, Galerie m Bochum presents works from the two new series
Field Culture
Lake Pictures
by US-american photographer
Lucinda Devlin
(*1947, Ann Arbor, Michigan).
Field Culture
(2006-10) Lucinda Devlin turns her attention to the American countryside, thus breaking with a constant of her earlier series. Since 1977 the artist has almost exclusively depicted interiors: clinical, well-organized, carefully styled and high-tech functional or also entertainment spaces, such as spas, amusement parks, animal enclosures, medical treatment rooms or, as in
The Omega Suites
(since 1991), execution rooms in American penitentiaries. The customs, values and convictions of a culture are abstract. But Lucinda Devlin shows us how they are made tangible by furnishings and equipment, in the way rooms are designed and in their functionality.
Her series
Field Culture
at first consisted of photographs from the
Empire Farm Days
– open-air agricultural fairs – and pictures of gigantic, high-tech industrial farming machines. And yet while she was working on portraying the cultural landscape, the beauty and specificity of the fields themselves always managed to obtrude into the picture. She thus ended up setting a round ball of hay like a portrait sitter in the middle of a picture; in the background, under a resplendent blue sky, the edge of a field appears as horizontal bar. Having grown up in the Mid-West and now living in Indiana, center of America's "grain belt," Lucinda Devlin is familiar with the seemingly boundless fields of green soy plants and golden yellow waves of grain.
These landscapes are characteristic of America, but without looking clichéd. Between the plant stems spreading out to the horizon, utility poles and wind turbines grow up out of the fields. Shiny silver silos remind us of the manmade structuring of the landscape, evidenced in the neat rows, the repetition of parallel furrows. As paradigm for global industrial farming, the American agricultural landscape is no longer a natural countryside, but rather a cultural space crafted by man and machine.
With their clear-cut structure, Devlin's photographs can be grasped quickly. The square format and central perspective make the object her camera lens has focused in on perfectly plain. On the level of content, however, the motif's complexity and depth become apparent: we begin to wonder about energy, its sources, its consumption and its storage, and about the future of agriculture – ultimately about the future of our natural environment and culture.
Contrasting with these green and gold fields are the
Lake Pictures
(2010/11), presented at the entrance to the exhibition. With their reduced formal language and calm tonality, they reinforce the impression of infinite expanses. The series is devoted to Lake Huron, one of North America's five Great Lakes marking the border between the US and Canada. It is fascinating to see how much the surface of the lake varies in the different photographs, although the photographer's point of view and framing remained the same. The colors and atmosphere here are shaped alone by the light at the various times of day or night, by weather conditions and the season.
As in the pictures in the
Field Culture
series, the landscape appears endless here – yet in a less readily visible, more metaphysical way. The mind's eye follows the surfaces of water and sky beyond the margins of the picture. As a constant orientation aid, the horizon guides us through the time of year, day and night. Nature and not primarily culture is the subject here.

Icer/Glazer Applies String and Waterfall Curtain Icing on Panned, Unpanned Food Products
Hinds-Bock's icer/glazer will apply string icing and a waterfall curtain icing onto a wide variety of both panned and un-panned products. The icer uses a double-walled heated and agitated tank with high quality, variable frequency pump and filter assembly. An oscillating icing head is used for string icing and an adjustable waterfall trough is used for curtain icing. The conveyor hinges up away from the icer for easy cleaning and loading of icing. The conveyor uses a two-part pass through wire mesh conveyor with catch pans and a optional removable center belt section is used for icing small un-panned products.

It's a beautiful Sunday morning in a small sleepy Mexican town. The sun pierces the jet blue sky. A rooster crows in the distance. The local residents begin to file inside the church.
The bell rings, the music begins, the congregation rises and the reverend enters. However this is no ordinary Sunday mass and this is no ordinary reverend. This is Fray Tormenta (Friar Storm), the wrestling priest.
Watching the golden masked, 60-something-year-old priest walk down the aisle amidst the packed house of parishioners is quite a surreal yet energizing experience. Live music fills the air, not from a church organ but from two men playing an electric guitar and bass from the balcony above. The bass player lays a steady line while the guitarist uses a slide and credit card pick to lead the procession to the pulpit. Welcome to the house that Fray Tormenta built.
Tormenta is in the news these days because of the new movie Nacho Libre, starring Jack Black. While the tone and hijinks have been dialed up to Hollywood levels, make no mistake, Nacho Libre is loosely based on a true story.
Both Fray Tormenta and his alter ego, Reverend Sergio Gutierrez Benitez have all the qualities for what's best in being a true superhero. His alter ego wears coke bottle glasses but when he dons his mask, his vision becomes 20/20. He has a strong moral code, including a willingness to risk one's own safety in the service of good and he has a special motivation, a sense of responsibility. He also has a strange fondness for spandex but most importantly, his origin is born from the flames of adversity.
Tormenta was born from a family of 18 children. His life of poverty took him to the dark side of crime and drugs. Hitting rock bottom, Tormenta sought help from a priest who gave him the necessary inspiration to continue on. It was then that Reverend Sergio Gutierrez Benitez was born. He vowed to himself that he would never turn away a child seeking refuge. A lifetime later, Fray Tormenta is man true to his word.
"Some 35 years have passed and over 2,000 children have come through my doors," Fray Tormenta told SLAM! Wrestling.
Back in the church, Fray Tormenta offers communion to the people. To them, he is a hero like no other. Mask or no mask, his heroic deeds speak volumes.
The service has ended. Father Sergio says goodbye to the people then walks outside for some fresh air.
"I have so much to be thankful for... three doctors, 16 teachers, one public accountant, one private accountant, one priest, 20 computer technicians, five lawyers and five practising law have all come out of the orphanage."
In the beginning, saying "yes" to every child that needed Fray Tormenta's help was difficult to say the least. Money was hard to come by, bills had to be paid and mouths needed to be fed. "I became Fray Tormenta out of necessity. I had to support my kids. I thought that a wrestler made as much money as guys like Cassisus Clay/Muhammad Ali. So I decided I would become a luchador and in one year, I'd make a million dollars and I'd build the 'City of Children'... but it was not like that. My first match paid me about $200 pesos or $20. I said to myself, Jesus Christ... after so much training... twenty bucks! But I was hooked and thanks to lucha libre, I accomplished many great things."
The Padre chose the easiest gimmick; his character would be "Fray Tormenta" aka "Friar Storm". Who would ever guess he was actually a real one?
"I designed my own mask and outfit. My mask colours are yellow and red. The yellow represents gold for Divinity and the red represents the blood that Fray Tormenta is willing to shed for his kids."
Tormenta managed to keep up his anonymity for several years, serving God by day and dishing out pain at night.
"In the beginning, nobody knew I was really a priest. It wasn't until two or three years later that my superior, Monsignor Torreblanca called me and said 'Hey is there a luchador out there posing and wrestling as a priest?' I said 'Yes, sir.' He asked if I knew him and I said 'Yes, it's me!'"
The padre pauses for a moment, reflecting on the story; he adjusts his mask and continues.
As time passed, Fray Tormenta's reputation and popularity grew. Rumours began to circulate -- was he really a priest? The man who eventually discovered Fray Tormenta's secret identity was no other than Daniel Garcia, the legendary Huracan Ramirez, inventor of the famous "Huracarana".
"I remember speaking with Fray Tormenta on the phone because we were to wrestle as tag partners. He told me openly to come by his church after his wedding service. Well I laughed and said 'Come on really?' and he said to come by and find out," Garcia recalled. "I did and sure enough... he was telling the truth. I remember saying to Rev. Sergio, 'But you're really a priest and you fight in the ring!'"
Once word got out that Fray Tormenta was in fact a real priest, it spread like wildfire across the country.
"Luchadores were afraid to fight me, not because of my strength or skill but they were afraid of the fans. They would shout out, 'You can't fight a priest!' and they would throw tomatoes, garbage and even coins at them!" said Tormenta.
A couple of foes recalled the battles. "I remember a woman screaming at me for roughing up the Padre. 'You're going to hell Terry!'" said Black Terry. His tag team partner, Shu el Guerrero added, "Yeah, I was pretty much condemned to hell also."
He hobbles over to his car. It's obvious that the years of pain and abuse have taken its toll. Every step seems to be an effort but in the end, it's all been worth it, the kids are worth every injury suffered.
About a dozen boys play a game of marbles outside the orphanage. A banner hangs above reading Cachorros de Fray Tormenta ("Puppies of Fray Tormenta"). The Padre arrives and the boys run over to greet him.
"Let's go train, boys!" shouts Tormenta. The kids, aging from 5 to 17, look excited. He leads them inside the building revealing an old wrestling ring. The boys rush the apron and climb in. They begin warming up.
"I have about 60 boys here. I used to have 250 boys in San Juan Teotihuacan. The house was bigger but we had to move to the state of Hidalgo to a much smaller house. There's not nearly enough room. My dream was always to build the city of the children but I never could gather the money but I'm not giving up hope."
The boys begin their training, running off the ropes, doing rolls and practicing their breakfalls. Tormenta climbs in and begins to run them through a series of drills. But it's not always about the training. To the Padre, education comes first.
"I came to the orphanage at the age of seven. Then I started training in lucha libre at nine. All I wanted was to become a full time luchador, however, the Father didn't want that," said Fray Tormenta Jr.
"He told me, you have to get a career because one day you might suffer a career-ending injury, then what? But if you have a career and you want to practice lucha libre and you get injured, well, without a leg or without a hand, but you can still work on your career. So I got my bachelor in law, got a post graduate specialization in criminal law and now I work for the government for the state of Hidalgo."
The boys now go through a series of moves with the Father. They come off the ropes and get hip tossed from Tormenta. Then he picks them up and proceeds to slam them down into the mat. A glint of excitement shines in the Padre's eye. He's enjoying himself and so are the kids.
Fray Tormenta Jr. looks over at the Padre. "There are many kids that, when they are little, they say, 'My dad is a policeman' and they feel like heroes themselves, or 'My dad is a firefighter...' and we would say, 'Well, my dad is Fray Tormenta, so be careful if you mess with me'; so we would gain instant respect. To us he is our real father. We have always said it, a father is not the one who creates you but the one who gets you through life."
Fray Tormenta has traveled the world, wrestled thousands of matches and achieved worldwide recognition. Yet the wrestling priest has managed to keep his feet firmly grounded. "Fame is like foam: It goes down just as it goes up so the best thing that a public figure can do is be humble and simple with people, because fame is fleeting. We all need to be humble and more than anything, as I said, people should be able to know that even though you've achieved fame around the world, you should still keep your feet grounded because fame is not endless whereas friendships are timeless."
As a filmmaker and a writer in Toronto, Michael Paszt spends much of his time in M�xico, where he is a columnist for the weekly magazine specialized in Lucha Libre, Super Luchas. He is currently filming a feature documentary presently entitled Viva la lucha libre. He can be emailed at email@example.com.

SJC orders resentencing for man convicted as juvenile in Roxbury slaying
The state's highest court has thrown out the life without parole sentence of a man who was 16 when he fatally shot a 14-year-old in 2004 on Hazelwood Street in Boston's Roxbury section.
Charon Ray killed Dakeem Galloway on June 10, 2004. Ray was convicted of first-degree murder in June 2007 and received the mandatory — at the time — sentence of life without parole.
The Supreme Judicial Court said Ray should be resentenced because of the court's recent decision that it's unconstitutional under both the US Constitution and the Massachusetts Declaration of Rights to sentence juveniles in Massachusetts to life without parole.
The court rejected a number of other arguments brought by Ray in his appeal.
"We therefore decline to vacate the defendant's convictions but remand this case to the Superior Court for resentencing,'' the unanimous court said in today's decision, which was written by Justice Robert Cordy.
Suffolk County prosecutors said they would fight to make sure Ray stayed in prison.
"This defendant stalked and murdered a 14-year-old boy who went out of his way to avoid a conflict. The defendant's fellow gang members tried to thwart the investigation and these proceedings. Despite the intrusion of gang activity into the courtroom, he got a full, fair trial and a conviction based on the evidence. That's much more than he gave Dakeem Galloway before taking the boy's life. This defendant was sentenced to life in prison for the premeditated murder of an innocent child. Based on the facts of this case, we expect to argue that he deserves every day of that sentence,'' District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said in a statement.
Attorney Robert F. Shaw Jr., Ray's attorney, said Ray's convictions should have been thrown out.
"We respect the Supreme Judicial Court and we vigorously disagree with this decision. The judgments in this case should have been reversed. As for the District Attorney's public declarations of gang involvement, they are completely unfounded and contradict what prosecutors have represented in court for nearly a decade,'' Shaw said in a statement.
Shaw, on the other hand, said he was pleased that "the blind, automatic sentence of life without parole no longer has force and effect in Mr. Ray's case.''
After the SJC decision striking down life without parole sentences for juveniles was announced in December, lawyers told the Globe that such prisoners would have to have served at least 15 years before being considered for parole.
Lawmakers and prosecutors are pressing legislation on Beacon Hill that would amend the law to require juvenile murderers to have served at least 35 years before parole eligiblity.
For adults, life without parole remains the mandatory sentence for first-degree murder.

Two weeks ago, I had the opportunity to address attendees at a Downtown Madison Inc. breakfast meeting. The issue of illegal signs and advertising was discussed. One member of the audience asked if I was willing to compromise.
I responded by saying, "I'm not interested in compromise. What I am interested in is coming to reasonable conclusions as to what will work when we value- when we look at all of these values…"
The media message that came from this was that I would not compromise. When the headlines focused on the first sentence of my statement, readers felt that I was intransigent in my position, unwilling to change or listen to others.
Compromising is not problem solving. Refusing to compromise is not refusing to consider alternative solutions.
Others have said it more eloquently than I could.
Stephen Covey, the author of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People who recently passed said, "Compromise is the result of not properly perceiving the possible synergy of the situation."
Brad Feld, Managing Director of Foundry Group said it best:
Compromise is a negotiation strategy, not a problem solving strategy.
- Compromise doesn't care whether or not you actually solve the root cause problem.
- Compromise is two polarized positions converging based on each giving something up rather than problem solving.
"The downside to compromising is that it can be an easy way out and reduces new creative options. If you constantly split the difference or 'straddle the fence,' game playing can result and the outcome could be less than ideal." Fisher, Ury and Patton, Getting to Yes, 1991
And, by the way, the discussions on signs and advertising continue.

Slain bombing suspect bought "lock and load" fireworks in February
Updated 7:22 PM ET
Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev purchased two "lock and load" pyrotechnics in February from a fireworks store in New Hampshire, CBS News has learned.
William Weimer, vice president of Phantom Fireworks, confirmed that the now-deceased bombing suspect purchased the fireworks on Feb. 6 at the company's Seabrook, N.H., location. He said that each firework has 24 shells containing 60 grams of composition of powder, half of which is black powder.
Weimer said that he does not believe what was purchased was enough to be used in bombs.
He said he does not have video of Tsarnaev because after 10 days, it is reused and recorded over. The company does apparently have a scan with information from the older brother's driver's license.
Megan Kearns was the store clerk. "I do remember [Tsarnaev] asking --first, him having the accent--and then him asking for the biggest, loudest stuff," she told CBS News, "and I showed him one other product. But he definitely stressed that he wanted the biggest, loudest stuff."
As CBS News correspondent Bob Orr reported, investigators are now trying to determine if the brothers used the black powder from those fireworks as the explosive in the pressure cooker bombs. He also added that there are key remaining questions for investigators involving the bombs: Where did the brothers build them? Did they ever set off practice explosions? How did they pay for the materials and do all of that under the radar.
New pictures also surfaced Tuesday of the early Friday morning shootout between the Tsarnaev brothers and police in Watertown, Massachusetts.
The photos taken from inside a house, overlooking the scene of the gunfight seem, to show the brothers crouched in front of a Mercedes SUV they had carjacked. One of brothers appears to be holding a gun with both hands in front of his body.
A second car belonging to the suspects can also be seen in the photo with a passenger side door open. Witnesses says during the shootout, the brothers seemed to retrieve ammunition and explosives from that vehicle to use in the ongoing battle.
Tamerlan Tsarnaev was killed in the confrontation. But his younger brother Dzhokhar survived and is now in fair condition in a Boston hospital with multiple gunshot wounds.
- Was NYC next target for Boston bomb suspects?
- Officials: Bombing suspect says he and brother acted alone
- Wife of slain bombing suspect assisting feds, lawyer says
Meanwhile U.S. officials said Tuesday that the elder Tsarnaev brother was an ardent reader of jihadist websites and extremist propaganda, adding another piece to the body of evidence they say suggests the two brothers were motivated by an anti-American, radical version of Islam.} }
As he lay in his hospital bed with a gunshot wound to the throat, Dzhokhar, 19, was charged on Monday with carrying out the bombing with his older brother. Tsarnaev could get the death penalty.
Interrogators questioned him at the hospital, letting him write down his replies, and his answers led them to believe he and his brother were motivated by religious extremism but appeared to have no major terrorist group connections, said U.S. officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the investigation publicly.
However, the written communication precluded back-and-forth exchanges often crucial to establishing key facts, officials said. They warned that they were still trying to verify what Tsarnaev told them and were poring over his telephone and online communications.
On Tuesday, two officials said the older brother frequently looked at extremist sites, including Inspire magazine, an English-language online publication produced by al Qaeda's Yemen affiliate. The magazine has endorsed lone-wolf terror attacks.
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, whose condition was upgraded Tuesday from serious to fair, was charged with using and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction. The University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth student was accused of joining with his brother in setting off the shrapnel-packed pressure-cooker bombs that killed three people and wounded more than 260 on April 15.
The brothers are ethnic Chechens from Russia who had been living in the U.S. for about a decade.
The next step in the legal process against Tsarnaev is likely to be an indictment, to which federal prosecutors could add new charges. State prosecutors have said they expect to charge Tsarnaev separately in the killing of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer who was shot in his cruiser Thursday night on the campus in Cambridge.
Federal public defender Miriam Conrad, whose office has been asked to represent Tsarnaev, asked that two death penalty lawyers be appointed to represent Tsarnaev, "given the magnitude of this case."
A probable cause hearing at which prosecutors will spell out the basics of their case was set for May 30. According to a clerk's notes of Monday's proceedings in the hospital, U.S. Magistrate Judge Marianne Bowler indicated she was satisfied that Tsarnaev was "alert and able to respond to the charges."
Tsarnaev did not speak during Monday's proceeding, except to answer "no" when he was asked if he could afford his own lawyer, according to the notes. He nodded when asked if he was able to answer some questions and whether he understood his rights.
Conrad declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press.
The criminal complaint outlining the allegations shed no light on the motive for the attack.
In the criminal complaint against Tsarnaev, investigators said he and his brother each placed a knapsack containing a bomb in the crowd near the finish line of the 26.2-mile race. The FBI said surveillance-camera footage showed Dzhokhar manipulating his cellphone and lifting it to his ear just instants before the two blasts.
After the first blast, a block away from Dzhokhar, "virtually every head turns to the east ... and stares in that direction in apparent bewilderment and alarm," the complaint says. But Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, unlike practically everyone else around him, appeared calm, the FBI said.
He then quickly walked away, leaving a knapsack on the ground; about 10 seconds later, a bomb blew up at the spot where he had been standing, the FBI said.
The FBI did not say whether he was using his cellphone to detonate one or both of the bombs or whether he was talking to someone.
Among the details in the affidavit:
Dzhokhar Tsarnaev had gunshot wounds to the head, neck, legs and hands when he was captured hiding out in a boat in a backyard in the Boston suburb of Watertown, authorities said.
One of the brothers it wasn't clear which one told a carjacking victim during their getaway attempt: "Did you hear about the Boston explosion? I did that."
The FBI said it searched Tsarnaev's dorm room at the University of Massachusetts-Dartmouth on Sunday and found BBs as well as a white hat and dark jacket that look like those worn by one of the suspected bombers in the surveillance photos the FBI released a few days after the attack.

If i didn't have it, and he didn't have it, where did this STI come from?!
Hollie replies:My question is, I was tested for Gonnerhea and Chlamydia at the end of April of 08 and I was negative. I just got another test done when I was refilling my birth control three months later and came out positive. I know I surely have been faithful, and so has my partner, but we can't understand where it would have come from between the last test and this test. We've had intercourse since November of 07, and I was checked twice being negative. I know for a fact there aren't any faith issues, could I have had it without it being detected the first time? Please help! He's of course thinking I'm cheating. Blaah.
Hi Kayla,
While you can be sure that YOU have been faithful, there is no absolute way you can know that your partner has been faithful.
Has your partner been tested for gonorrhea or chlamydia in the past? If not, there is no way for you to know that he didn't have it when you started dating. If your tests were negative in April and positive now, it would seem that something/someone has gone astray since then. It is highly unlikely you would've gotten two negative results if you were infact positive.
You'll need antibiotics and testing done later on to make sure the infection is gone (your doctor should've discussed this with you). Your partner also needs to be tested now, and you need to either abstain from any sexual activity with anyone, or be using condoms for ALL genital contact. If your partner refuses to be tested, i'd be extremely suspicious that a) he has no concern for his own health or yours and b) perhaps he does have something to hide. Ending this relationship in that case would be a no-brainer for me.
