Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies
Introduction | General Description | Data Collected | Additional Information
General Description
In the United States, samples were taken from 5,000 adults between the ages 16-65 with similar samples drawn from the other participating countries. While maintaining continuity with previous surveys, the PIAAC expands on quality assurance standards. In step with the dynamic nature of this research, the PIAAC extends the definitions of literacy and numeracy, and it also presents the problem-solving domain to emphasize skills used in technology-rich environments. The data measurements provide more information about individuals with low levels of literacy by assessing reading component skills.
Using the results of this study, stakeholders will have the necessary data to compare U.S. adult literacy skills to those of adults in other countries. This information may assist leaders in developing policy and creating better accountability structures for adult education and training programs.
Beginning October 8, 2013, PIAAC findings will become available to the public with follow-up release dates extending through April 2014.

It's more than just Chengdu Taste
It's no secret that Sichuan cuisine has been gaining in popularity not only in East Asia, but across the United States. Even for those who haven't encountered authentic Sichuan food, a passing familiarity with Chinese menus will offer, at one point or another, exposure to a dish at least derived from the cuisine of Sichuan province. Kung Pao Chicken, a mainstay of westernized Chinese cuisine and Panda Express menus everywhere, originated there relatively recently in the 19th century.
Yet, for a region internationally renowned for its spicy cuisine (UNESCO named capital city Chengdu a City of Gastronomy in 2011), in a country where culinary tradition is rich as it is long-standing, the actual use of chili peppers in Sichuan cuisine is not as ancient as it may seem.
The practice of raising chili peppers in China originated during the Ming Dynasty, with the first reference to peppers in writing coming in Gao Lian's Eight Treatises on the Nurturing of Life, published in the late 16th century. And while the debate on the cuisine's traditions and its future raged on back home, the cuisine's key ingredient, the Sichuan peppercorn, was banned stateside by the FDA until 2005. Since the lifting of the ban, the number of restaurants practicing either Chengdu or Chongqing culinary traditions has been nothing short of alarming.
And so today, with its massive Chinese immigrant population and welcoming attitude toward foreign cuisines, Los Angeles is quickly becoming home to some of the best Sichuan food in the nation. Here's a handy guide to the most essential Sichuan restaurants across greater Los Angeles.

The house TODAY!
The outside is almost complete - just rain gutters and light fixtures need to be installed.
The porch to the side of our front door.
The view from Boston's room (looking out the front of our house)
The nursery looking into our bedroom
Front door and office - I love the color of that front door!
The loft - open to entry on the side Zariph and Boston are looking on, and open to the great room on the other side.
Linen closet in an upstairs bathroom
The walk-in linen closet in the other side of the upstairs bathroom.
Boston's bedroom
The playroom
The closed in part of the loft
The great room/entry/stairs
The hot tub room - we tiled the wall 3/4 up, to hopefully help with peeling paint and the steam. It looks really good under the plastic, I'll take another picture later.
My side of the closet, you can't see it all in the picture, though.
This is Zariph's project for the past two weeks - our master walk-in shower. It's almost ready to tile! The great room My craft room - could I be any more excited!

Perhaps one of the biggest Biz Buzz news item for 2017 is Warren Buffett acquiring Pilot Flying J. Never mind what it means for the truck stop chain. What does this move mean for the trucking industry as a whole?
In case you are not aware of the details, allow me to brief you. According to a news release, Berkshire Hathaway's initial minority investment of 38.6 percent will allow the Haslams to continue to own a majority 50.1 percent of PFJ, with Jimmy Haslam remaining chief executive officer. Berkshire will acquire an additional 41.4 percent in 2023, giving Buffett's holding company an 80 percent majority stake. After 2023, the Haslams will maintain 20 percent ownership and remain involved with PFJ.
Warren Buffett is known to be one of the greatest investors in modern history. Dubbed the Oracle of Omaha, you have to wonder if this guy can look into the future. With that said, Buffett's huge bet on Pilot Flying J is essentially a huge bet on the trucking industry, and that is something truckers should be optimistic about.
Berkshire Hathaway is not a company known to buy out companies, quickly boost up their stock and sell for a profit. Rather, the holding company has a reputation of long-term investments rather than quick-sell speculation. Buffett is in it for the long haul. If you're looking for a quick buck, go to the casino. If you want a fat retirement account after years of annual growth from an investment (an average of 19 percent annual growth since 1965, to be exact), you go with Berkshire.
Bottom line: If Berkshire buys your company, it is likely that the Oracle of Omaha sees a bright future within that industry.
Wrapping back around to Pilot Flying J, what can we speculate about the Berkshire's recent acquisition?
Although PFJ's revenue comes largely from fuel sales, it does not accumulate its $20 billion in annual revenue from just diesel. A lot of that money relies on customers coming inside the store and purchasing food, gifts and other retail items. If trucks (and passenger vehicles, for that matter) go completely driverless, a significant chunk of PFJ revenue is gone.
One can speculate that Warren Buffett's bet on truck stops indicates a dismissal of autonomous trucks replacing truck drivers. In fact, it would be more than just speculation:
"Trucks are going to be around for a very long time," Buffett said to Bloomberg News. "Who knows when driverless trucks are going to come along and what level of penetration they have. There is nothing that we own that doesn't have something in the future that might affect it."
This does not mean there could be some drastic changes in truck technology. Buffett also has invested heavily in renewable energy. Berkshire Hathaway Energy – formerly MidAmerican Energy Company – is big on wind turbines. MidAmerican Energy began investing in renewable energy in 2004 with a vision to provide 100 percent renewable energy to its customers using wind and solar energy.
MidAmerican Energy is also a champion of electric vehicles, with a section of its website dedicated to EVs.
The problem EVs face today is a lack of infrastructure. If Buffett predicts massive financial gains in EVs, what better way to realize that potential than to buy the nation's largest truck stop? By doing this, Buffett can transform PFJ into the leader of EV infrastructure by implementing a business model that installs charging stations at every PFJ location.
EVs have been waiting for the infrastructure. Conversely, infrastructure stakeholders have been waiting for EV demand. Someone had to pull the trigger first. Perhaps Buffett is the man to get the ball rolling.
Although self-driving trucks may not be in Warren Buffett's crystal ball, electric trucks may be.
During a time when Congress is pressured to quickly pass legislation that will allow self-driving technologies to hit the road, Buffett's investment in PFJ undermines those attempts. It suggests that this futuristic world of self-driving vehicles dominating the roadways is much more distant than near.
Obviously, this is sweet music to the trucker ear. You may be driving an electric truck in the future, but YOU will be driving nonetheless.
Without humans driving trucks, Pilot Flying J's – and any truck stop's for that matter – revenue will plummet. If Warren Buffett wants a piece of that PFJ pie, you can bet the house that truckers are not going anywhere.

30 January 2013
I have managed to gather a little group of Danes here in Montreal - something that I'd normally not do as you want to interact with the locals when you live somewhere else. But these people are great, and we have lots of fun together. I know them from various constellations, and luckily we seem to get along really well when we're all together. Of course, cooking a dinner where you manage to get drunk before the food is ready is never a bad idea. So here's what happened last night:
Hui came over to make quiche and chicken, and we hung out in the kitchen drinking wine talking about the kind of subjects you always seem to cross with a new group... No comments.
The fire alarm went off.
When my roomies came home around midnight and wanted to go to bed, we moved out of the house. John recommended a place on Parc, a no name bar with plants inside. We arrived just as they wanted to close, but we stayed there for a few hours drinking cocktails and being the only ones there.
The decor was strange.
At 3.30 they kicked us out, and today I've spent two hours cleaning the apartment with a slight hangover. God I love that.

SNB threatens new steps on franc if euro woes worsen
The Swiss National Bank dangled the threat of capital controls to hold down the value of the franc if the euro zone crisis escalates, days before a Greek election that could drive another flood of money into the safe-haven currency.business Updated: Jun 14, 2012 20:23 IST
The Swiss National Bank dangled the threat of capital controls to hold down the value of the franc if the euro zone crisis escalates, days before a Greek election that could drive another flood of money into the safe-haven currency.
The central bank said it was determined to defend a cap of 1.20 per euro on the franc it imposed on Sept 6 and was ready to buy foreign currency in "unlimited quantities".
"Even at the current rate, the Swiss franc is still high. Another appreciation would have a serious impact on both prices and the economy in Switzerland," SNB chairman Thomas Jordan told a news conference on Thursday.
"The SNB will not tolerate this. If necessary it stands ready to take further measures at any time."
Asked repeatedly about the possibility of capital controls, Jordan declined to say what sort of additional steps the SNB was looking at.
"Concerning capital controls, there are various experiences and various ways to implement them and there are also countries that have also had positive experiences with these measures in the recent past," he told one questioner.
"We are continuously looking at all possible other measures. It is to be understood in the sense of an emergency plan, if there is a corresponding escalation of the crisis.".
However, the lack of any concrete additional measures in the SNB's announcement following its quarterly monetary policy meeting pushed the franc up 0.1% against the euro to 1.2003, testing the SNB's limit.
"We expect further pressure on the EURCHF 'floor' in the coming days, especially considering the Greek elections," said Peter Rosenstreich, chief forex analyst at Swissquote, adding he saw the threat of capital controls as sabre-rattling.
"Our gut reaction is this verbiage is a tool to add uncertainty to the policy decisions - a cheaper route than direct intervention - geared at keeping speculators sidelined," he said. "The SNB is trying to downplay franc attractiveness and buy more time."
Last opinion polls before a blackout ahead of Sunday's Greek election showed the leftist SYRIZA party which wants to scrap Greece's 130 billion euro bailout deal running neck-and-neck with the conservative New Democracy party.
Jordan has said recently Switzerland could consider capital controls to deter a flight to the franc if Greece leaves the euro, but most economists believe they would have little effect and could seriously hurt the big Swiss banking industry.
Last month, as markets grew increasingly anxious about Athens' future in the currency bloc, the SNB had to expand its forex reserves by nearly a third to make the cap stick.
Citing the risk of deflation and a recession, the SNB set the cap last year as investors fleeing the euro zone pushed the franc up some 20% in just a few months, threatening ruin for Swiss exporters and the country's tourism industry.
"Risks exceptionally high"
The policy has helped the economy to stabilise, prompting the SNB to raise its growth forecast for the year to 1.5%, from close to 1%.
But the SNB said that was just because of an unexpectedly strong performance through the winter and it still expects a significant slowdown for the rest of the year.
"The risks for the Swiss economic situation remain exceptionally high," Jordan said.
"The uncertainty about future developments in the euro area has again risen. If global activity proves disappointing or the turmoil on the financial markets increases, downside risks will again emerge for the economy and price stability."
The SNB trimmed its inflation forecast for 2012 to minus 0.5% from minus 0.6%, but kept its forecasts for 2013 and 2014 steady at 0.3% and 0.6% respectively.
Jordan rejected the idea of using the huge foreign currency reserves the SNB has built up by intervening to weaken the franc to create a sovereign wealth fund - an idea some Swiss politicians have proposed to boost the bank's returns.
"The creation of such a fund would not help to enforce the minimum exchange rate," Jordan said. "It does little to assist Switzerland or Swiss monetary policy."
He said such funds in Norway and other oil states could not serve as a model as they invested income from commodity exports, while a Swiss fund would be financed through printing money.
Jordan said the SNB was working to diversify its holdings, with 10% of investments now in shares, adding that the bank had invested in the Korean won since the start of 2012, with other investment opportunities continually being evaluated.
Broad political support for the franc cap and calls from e xporters to weaken the currency towards 1.30 or 1.40 per euro initially helped the SNB to defend the limit without spending much.
But the escalation of the euro zone crisis has encouraged speculators to test the SNB's resolve of late just as influential voices have started to question the policy.
In its annual financial stability report, the SNB also urged Switzerland's two big banks, UBS and Credit Suisse, to do more to boost capital, adding that Credit Suisse in particular needed to act this year.
The SNB kept the target band for the Swiss franc LIBOR at 0 to 0.25%, as economists had forecast.

BELLINGHAM, WA — Mark Redwine was allegedly driven to murder his 13-year-old son Dylan after the teen discovered "disgusting" photos of the his dad eating feces from a diaper while dressed in women's clothes, according to reports. Redwine allegedly became enraged after Dylan and his older brother Cory Redwine found the embarrassing pictures, Denver7 reports.

According to an indictment, Dylan planned to confront his father about the photos — which is what family members believe set Mark Redwine off and resulted in a violent altercation between Dylan and his dad.
"I have seen the photos," Cory Redwine told Denver7.
"It shows him wearing women's clothes and makeup and a diaper and then eating his feces from the diaper. It was disgusting. We couldn't believe it."
Dylan went missing during a Thanksgiving visit with his father in 2012. His remains were found in 2015.
Mark Redwine was arrested Saturday in Washington state on felony charges of second-degree murder and child abuse resulting in death. The police bodycam video of his arrest has just been made public (above). He is being held on a $1 million bail in Washington while he awaits an August 17 extradition hearing to Colorado.
