Edged by Pirates in 2-1 Heartstopper
December 11, 2010
Glens Falls, NY- The
Phantoms could not have come any closer to a dramatic
comeback. Luke Pither's breakaway attempt with just
8 seconds remaining was knocked away off the right
skate of Portland goalie Jhonas Enroth and the Pirates
were able to hang on for a dramatic 2-1 victory
Saturday night at the Glens Falls Civic Center.
Pither had scored in the 2nd period to give the
Phantoms a 1-0 lead. Time was winding down on the
Phantoms who had come close to tying the score on
multiple occasions. But the best chance came almost
as time expired. Danny Syvret made a great diving
poke to knock away Derek Whitmore's chance for an
empty netter and the Phantoms found Pither rushing
in behind the Pirates D as the GFCC contingent rose
to their feet. Pither moved in and got off a good
shot but Enroth was just able to react with his
right leg to make the terrific save and preserve
the win for Portland.
The loss prevented the Phantoms from winning back
to back games for the first time this season.
Michael Leighton played a stellar game in net for
the Phantoms in his Adirondack home debut. The Flyers
goalie on conditioning assignment with the Phantoms
made several highlight reel saves through the first
two periods as Adirondack carried a 1-0 lead into
the second intermission. It was anticipated that
this 4th game of Leighton's conditioning stint would
be his last with Adirondack.
Mike Testwuide had picked up a loose puck at center
and found Pither up the right wing. The 21 year
old rookie blasted a top shelf wire to the far post
for his 4th goal of the season to give the Phantoms
a 1-0 lead and also bring a barrage of Teddy Bears.
The Phantoms first annual Teddy Bear Toss night
was a success as hundreds of stuffed animals were
thrown onto the ice after the Phantoms first goal
of the evening. All of the bears were collected
and will be donated to the Salvation Army.
Paul Byron grabbed a puck in the crease and was
able to drive it past Leighton just 21 seconds into
the 3rd period for a power play goal to tie the
game at 1-1.
Adirondack looked terrific on a power play at 6:25
into the 3rd and had Enroth and the rest of the
Pirates scrambling. Danny Syvret made several impressive
diving efforts to keep the puck in the zone and
prevent Portland from clearing or getting to change
players. But Adirondack's power play efforts came
up empty and the Pirates raced away with an odd-man
rush as Drew Schiestel returned from the penalty
box. Schiestel carried the puck across to the left-wing
circle and passed it to the slot where Derek Whitmore
was able to chip home a one-timer at 8:35 into the
third for a 2-1 Portland lead.
The Phantoms benefited from a double-minor for
high sticking with just 6:41 into the game but were
unable to score on their four straight minutes of
power play time.
Portland outshot the Phantoms 30-29 in the game.
The Pirates for 1-for-5 on the power play while
the Phantoms were 0-for-5.
The Phantoms return to action Sunday afternoon
at 3:00 in Hartford against the Connecticut Whale.

PHOENIX (AP) - The state clemency board has denied a final plea for mercy from a death row inmate set for execution next week.
The 3-0 vote came after a hearing at the state
prison in Florence Wednesday. The hearing came hours after a federal
judge denied a request from 71-year-old Edward Schad's lawyers to
temporarily block the execution.
They're trying to prove that Gov. Jan Brewer's
office interfered with Arizona Board of Executive Clemency members by
removing them from office when they vote for clemency in high-profile
A state lawyer argued at a court hearing Tuesday
that current board members are impartial and urged U.S. District Judge
Roslyn Silver to deny the request.
Schad was convicted in the 1978 killing of a Bisbee man.

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel congratulated the cadets at West Point's commencement ceremony Saturday, but warned them they have a tough road ahead.
He praised how far the military has come in terms of diversity but he addressed the many problems service men and women commonly face. Hagel urged the cadets to help put an end to it.
"Alcohol and drug abuse, suicide and mental illness, sexual harassment and sexual assault. You will need to not just deal with these destructive and insidious forces. But rather you must be the generation of leaders that stop it," said Hagel.
Hagel also warned the cadets that they must be ready to fight unpredictable wars with fewer people and less money.

A beautiful gift from Sioux City sister city in Japan, Yamanashi City, has been unveiled at City Hall.
A Jacquard Weave tapestry was presented to Mayor Bob Scott and outgoing City Manager Paul Eckert during a trip to Yamanashi City earlier this summer.
This unique work of art was made in Fujiyoshida City, which is well-known for its textile industry.
The silk is dyed using snow that's melted from Mount Fuji to make bright and vivid colors.
The inspiration for the work is said to come from Japan's oldest love story.
This and other gifts from Yamanashi City are on display on the first floor of City Hall.
(SOUTH SIOUX CITY, NE) South Sioux City students were celebrating a birthday Friday, 200 years in the making!

MILWAUKEE (WSAU-TSN) Jason Castro tallied his first career multi- homer game in the Houston Astros' 7-6 win over the Milwaukee Brewers in the opener of a three-game set.
Brett Wallace and Castro hit back-to-back blasts in the fifth inning for the Astros, who have won four of their last seven contests.
Edgar Gonzalez (3-1) surrendered three runs on four hits over 5 2/3 frames to pick up the win.
Yovani Gallardo (16-9) allowed five runs -- four earned -- on eight hits and three walks for Milwaukee, which fell five games behind the St. Louis Cardinals for the NL's second wild card spot. The Cardinals defeated the Washington Nationals earlier on Friday.
The Brewers and Astros play again Saturday night on Fox Sports 1390 at 5:35pm.

Woman's exceptional care, centered on you
Screening Versus Diagnostic Mammogram
Woman's Hospital is the Baton Rouge area's leader for breast imaging and mammography services. As such, we offer both screening and diagnostic mammography services based on the individual needs of each woman.
Screening mammograms vs. diagnostic mammograms
A screening mammogram is used to check for breast cancer in women who have no signs or symptoms of the disease. Screening mammograms usually involve two X-ray pictures, or images, of each breast. The X-ray images make it possible to detect tumors that cannot be felt.
A diagnostic mammogram can be used to check for breast cancer after a lump or other sign or symptom of the disease has been found. Besides a lump, signs of breast cancer can include breast pain, thickening of the skin of the breast, nipple discharge or a change in breast size or shape; however, these signs may also be signs of benign conditions. A diagnostic mammogram can also be used to evaluate changes found during a screening mammogram or to view breast tissue when it is difficult to obtain a screening mammogram because of special circumstances, such as the presence of breast implants.
How are screening and diagnostic mammograms different?
Diagnostic mammography takes longer than screening mammography because more X-rays are needed to obtain views of the breast from several angles. The technician may magnify a suspicious area to produce a detailed picture that can help the doctor make an accurate diagnosis.
What are the costs associated with a screening or diagnostic mammogram?
Medicare, Medicaid and all private health insurance policies created after March 23, 2010, cover screening mammogram costs. Most states also have laws that require health insurance companies to pay for all or at least part of the costs of screening mammograms. You typically pay more for diagnostic mammograms than screening ones, and the insurance coverage may be different.
When should a woman get a screening mammogram?
Woman's encourages women over the age of 40 to receive a screening mammogram every year even if no signs of breast cancer were detected in their previous exam. Women who are at higher than average risk of breast cancer (for example, because of a family history of the disease or because they carry either the BRCA1 or the BRCA2 gene) should talk with their doctors about whether to have mammograms before age 40 and how often to have them.

The Joint Quantum Institute has developed an all-optical switch uses a single quantum dot
An all-optical switch created using a quantum dot placed inside a resonant cavity can switch a beam of light from one direction to another in 120 ps with very little power.
Developed at the Joint Quantum Institute, it consists of a nanosize sandwich of arsenic and indium. It is so tiny that it can emit only discrete wavelengths, as if it were an atom. It was placed inside a photonic crystal that had been bored with several tiny holes, enabling light to pass only through the crystal, for a narrow range of wavelengths. When light traveled through the waveguide adjacent to the resonant cavity, some amount of light entered into the cavity and reacted with the quantum dot. This interaction can modify the waveguide's transmission properties. To create a switching action, 140 photons are required in the waveguide. In the JQI experiment, however, only six photons are required to throw the switch.

In 1954 the US government pulled some really sick shit, they needed a place to test the hydrogen bomb and found a central pacific island to do it at. Showing very little regard for the inhabitants, they turned the island and the surrounding islands into a radioactive wasteland. Having grossly underestimated the size of the blast and fallout zone, they never evacuated or informed the surrounding islands of the threat.
The following are 2 videos of Early US atomic weapons tests.
CLICK HERE - Bikini Island Atomic Bomb Test Video
CLICK HERE - US Nuclear Testing Video Compilation
In the morning of March 1st 1954 people living on the islands surrounding a place called Bikini Island or Bikini Atoll watched in amazement as 2 suns rose in the sky. Shortly thereafter, it began to snow white ash and the islands water supply became brackish.
"Children played in the fallout; their mothers watched in horror as night came and they began to show the physical signs of exposure. The people experienced severe vomiting and diarrhea, their hair began to fall out, the island fell into a state of terrified panic."
This is from the testing of atomic weapons on Bikini Island by the United States. Scientists underestimated the explosion and created a radioactive disaster that went far outside the evacuated areas.
The people on the neighboring islands received no explanations or warnings whatsoever from the United States government. Two days after the test some of the native people got medical treatment.
The radiation levels made the area uninhabitable for decades to come with the area finally being settled in the early 70's. Unfortunately for the people who had to wait decades to come home, the problem with radiation was far from over.More testing showed that the area was radioactive and the soil and water supply was contaminated. The radiation caused an increase in birth defects and cancer and in the mid 70's, the Bikini Islanders sued the US government in order for them to do more testing.
On Bikini Atoll the radiation levels increased dramatically. And, in late March following the Bravo test, the off-limits zones were expanded to include the inhabited atolls of Rongerik, Utirik, Ujelang and Likiep. It is startling to note that none of these islanders were evacuated prior to this blast or even before the subsequent nuclear weapons tests. In the spring of 1954, Bikar, Ailinginae, Rongelap, Rongerik, were all contaminated by the Yankee and Union weapon tests which were detonated on Bikini Atoll. They yielded the equivalent of 6.9 and 13.5 megatons of TNT respectively.

just like the title says, bludgeoned seals. Just Sick and twisted shit - Seal killing in Canada.
Turning the ice red with blood, they killed hundreds of pups during the first day of the annual harp seal hunt.
The cull, which has been the target of protests since the 1960s, will mean the slaughter of up to 320,000 young seals on the floes and islands around Quebec's les de la Madeleine in the Gulf of St Lawrence.
"It's just horrific out there," said Rebecca Aldworth of the Humane Society of the United States. "There is blood all across the ice and seal carcasses as far as the eye can see. We've seen seals that were moving around and breathing, that have been left in these piles, some left conscious and crawling."
Animal rights campaigners, who claim the pups are often skinned alive, have begun a boycott of Canadian seafood products and are planning protests until the end of the cull on 15 May.
Despite an import ban imposed in the United States and the European Union, a growth in demand for seal pelts from eastern Europe and China led the Canadian government to issue a quota in 2003 that allows hunters to kill 975,000 seals over three years.
If you are a bit squeemish about watching cute baby seals getting chased and bludgeoned to death, then this video may be a bit to graphic for you.
I would imagine many people saying what is sick about hunting? well this is not "hunting". This is the slaughter of thousands, not for food. The only reason for this is financial, people in Asia pay money for pelts. People have already "hunted" too many species into extinction, even though the seals are not there yet… they may be in time.
Do we have the right to destroy life in its natural habitat for money and twisted greed? thats the sickening question.
This shows what goes on during a baby seal hunt in Canada.

As the year ends, I sit here and try to remember the videos and content that I have posted in the last few months… well since the beginning of the Just Sick Shit websites.
Right away one image comes to mind. You see many are a blur in a mess of torturous, inhumane and wicked behavior that I look at daily writing for JSS… but this one stands out.
It does not stand out for being the most graphic, but more so for being so incredibly wicked and monsterous that it really is at the top of my memory.
For anyone who missed this, I am talking about an old Saddam video of the cruel, sadistic and torterous execution methods he and his sons lived by. This video is shot in the middle East (nothing new there) but it captures sadistic and humiliating torture and execution methods that seem to be taken from an old Roadrunner and Coyote cartoon… or more fitting in this case… Superman.
You see the military took the condemed to the top of a four story building, then pushed them off to splatter on the concrete below. To really humiliate the persons already sentenced to death by way of concrete splat, they dressed the first in a comical superman costume. Basically laughing about these fools better pull a Superman stunt and learn to fly in .0005 seconds.
Unfortunately, this is a torturous method of execution since 4 stories may or may not be high enough to kill on impact and many of these men probably suffered with their bones smashed for quite some time before death took them.
I must add that I am really amazed that youtube still has it up. The Superman method of execution starts about midway, the beginning of the clip is pretty much just soldiers beating the shit out of other men.

John Burkoff Gives Keynote Presentation on "The Art of the Steal"
On November 29, Professor John Burkoff was a keynote presenter at an event sponsored by the Pittsburgh Foundation, speaking on the ethical implications of the lawyers' conduct depicted in the documentary, "The Art of the Steal." That documentary depicted the decades-long efforts to resolve the financial problems of the Barnes Foundation, an estimated $30 billion collection of mostly Modernist and Post-Impressionist artworks, ultimately resulting in the officers' decision to break Albert Barnes' will and relocate the collection from Lower Merion to Philadelphia. One hundred fifty lawyers, accountants, and financial planners attended this 4-hour CLE program.

Personal Summary / Bio
I am a Council Member of NEMA (National Early Music Association, UK). In 2009, I organised NEMA's Conference Singing Music from 1500 to 1900, the proceedings of which are available online both on NEMA's and the University of York's websites; this material includes my paper and video on vocal vibrato. I have specialised at various times on recorders, curtal, crumhorns and treble viol, but concentrate currently mainly on great bass shawm, harpsichord continuo and choral singing, as a member of the Thames Valley and Southern Early Music Fora. I am continuing to investigate vocal performance practice in the 19th century, focussing on the under-researched period after 1830.

PORT CHESTER New York United StatesI'm looking forward to buying the acoustic trio cd. Is there a name for this band? Will there be a video made to promote the music? How exciting!May 17, 2014 1:07am
Thanks for all your encouraging messages...! This year I am invited to perform with my band or other formats in a few different countries and continents, such as in Brazil soon....Paulo thanks for attending almost all my performances in your country, too soon to give you a setlist but it will be a mix of early material like "Mirage" among others and newer material. Meanwhile I am preparing a recording as an acoustic trio with Stanley Clarke and French Gypsy guitarist Bireli Lagrene, the album should come out in early 2015, followed by live performances including in the U.S. hopefully. Then I am also in contact with Jon Anderson ex-singer from Yes to start a project together, also with plans to tour in the U.S. in 2015. So please keep visiting this site for updates.May 17, 2014 12:11am
An unforgettable concert experience with you
David Dean
Orange Park FL USADear M. Ponty... I've just discovered your website and am delighted to be able to reminisce about one of the most exciting live performances I've ever seen -- yours. I was at the New York City concert on the pier by the Hudson River in 1984, during your "Open Mind" tour, when the skies erupted in a furious thunderstorm. Not many of us in the audience left (maybe we were too scared to), but frankly, we were afraid for your safety. After all, you continued to play your electric violin in a spectacular lightning storm. But I will never forget that image of you, absolutely soaked, your hair nearly horizontal in the wind, DEFYING THE ELEMENTS on that stage. You didn't even step upstage where it might have been more protected -- you were downstage center, right in the storm, playing for us. It seemed to energize you even more, challenging the weather to do its worst -- it wasn't going to stop YOU from performing. It was positively thrilling. So, M. Ponty, thank you so much for a lifetime of music, and a thrilling concert experience nearly thirty years ago. DavidMay 15, 2014 3:23am
Chicago Concert
Chicago Illinois USAJean, Greetings from Chicago!!!! I pray that you will consider adding Chicago to your list of concerts for 2014. I have been checking your website since 2013 hoping to be able to introduce my wife and son to your amazing music. I hope your well, and may god bless you always.May 14, 2014 4:29am
shows in Brazil
pauloMoseigneur Ponty, I am so glad that you will play again in my hometown São Paulo on June 10th. I had a major surgery in June 8th, 2013 and to see the great Ponty again, a year after that will be incredible! I am glad to tell you that I went to your concerts 3 times: São Paulo, about 1987, São Paulo with ROS about 2005(I was in the first row!) and Curitiba w Orquestra Sinfonica do Paraná 2012(first row too, with my girlfriend) Such a fantastic experience!!!! So, my girlfriend and me are looking forward to listen to your fantastic music again!!!! If it won't bother you, what will be the setlist? Tahnk you PauloMay 14, 2014 2:42am
Love your music
RykIt's not hyperbole to say your music changed my life. I had always like music, and was a percussionist in school band for 5 years. So I liked the symphonic and marching band music from school, and popular music, especially disco. Then a friend played the first part of Imaginary Voyage, and I was blown away. What is that? I asked. So discovering Imaginary Voyage and Aurora introduced me to the world of jazz-fusion. Soon afterwards I discovered the art-rock of Genesis and Rush. So those are my three biggest musical influences. (Your guitarist Darryl Stuemer played with Genesis) I was playing around with a solo violin from Miroslav Philharmonik, and applying Guitar Rig effects to it. So I'm searching for a good way to produce an electric violin sound inside my library of soft synths. Between IK Multimedia's Total Workstation bundle and Komplete 9, there are approximately 26,000 sounds. And I have other programs. Hopefully I'll figure out how to make a good electric violin sound. Thanks for the inspiration. Hope to upload some music someday to my YouTube channel.May 6, 2014 12:53pm
are you going to write more songs
David Steele
Detroit MichagainAre you going to write more music like the struggle of the turtle to the sea or like solitude where its smooth and intense too because I love that about your music. And I would love to hear more of your style in new music. I am a jazz violinist and I want to become a composer and write music like yours. Do you have specific techniques you use to warm up and within your music like licks and phrases. Do you have any tips on writing music. And I'm 14May 5, 2014 10:00pm

Living to 100
Centenarians on the increase
It has long been accepted that improvements in medicine, lifestyle and an understanding of the effects which habits such as smoking can have on our health means life expectancy is increasing. Future generations are likely to enjoy much longer and healthier lives on average than their predecessors.
However, figures released in April 2011 by the Department of Work & Pensions illustrate more accurately exactly what that means. These figures suggest, of the under 16s already alive today, over a quarter are going to reach the age of 100 – and already, the average new-born female is going to live to over 90.
As Steve Webb, Minister for Pensions, commented at the time, this means that millions of people will spend over a third of their life in retirement. However, as the DWP were quick to point out, this news also coincides with a period during which pension savings are in serious decline.
An ageing population is putting our welfare system under significant pressure as more people need not only pension income but also healthcare, incapacity support and help within the home. You can therefore have little expectation that a State Pension will provide anything other than a safety cushion when the time comes. If your retirement plans include holidays, visiting relatives and treating yourself on occasion, then its time to take control of your savings and start building up a retirement fund of your own.

Infrared Spectroscopy - An Overview
The infrared part of the spectrum is where the emission and absorption lines of virtually all molecules as well as numerous atoms and ions (electrically charged atoms) lie. Infrared spectroscopy is the primary way to detect these elements in space.
Spectrometers onboard infrared missions like the Kuiper Airborne Observatory (KAO), and the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), as well as near-infrared spectra from ground based observatories, have led to the discovery of hundreds of atoms and molecules in many different regions of space.
Infrared spectra of the molecule CH4 - one of at least ten new molecules detected by ISO.

Since infrared can penetrate heavy dust, which often surrounds objects like newly forming stars and our galactic center, infrared spectroscopy can provide information about environments which are hidden from optical view, such as regions of star formation and the center of our galaxy.
As a result of the Big Bang, the Universe is expanding. This causes spectral lines which would normally appear in the ultraviolet and visible part of the spectrum to be doppler shifted into the infrared for very distant objects. This means that infrared spectroscopy is a valuable tool for understanding conditions in the early Universe. An example of this can be seen in the spectrum of the most distant quasar currently known.
The doppler shift of spectral lines also allows astronomers to detect and measure the velocity of planets around stars, stars around stars, expanding stellar atmospheres, outflows from star forming regions, rotating rings in galaxies, rotating spiral arms, supernova explosions, and shock waves from colliding galaxies.
Infrared light is radiated from any object with a temperature. Even objects which are too cool to be detected optically can be studied in the infrared. For example, the ISO spectra (left) led to the discovery of a new molecule in interstellar space. The molecule, CH4, is one of the most important tracers for the formation of complex carbon-based molecules. It was detected in very cold and thin molecular clouds by its infrared absorption lines. The discovery of this molecule and the measurement of its abundance will lead to a better estimate of the abundance of hydrocarbons in space. To see some of the molecules which have already been discovered in interstellar space click here.
Infrared spectral studies are providing stunning information about the role of interstellar molecules in the formation of stars, planets and possibly even life. For example, infrared spectroscopy has shown that water is abundant in many regions of space and it is likely that the water we have here on Earth originated from stars which died out long before our solar system was formed. Crystaline silicates, the most abundant mineral on Earth, is also found in abundance in interstellar space. Recent infrared spectral data have shown that complex organic molecules can form rapidly (over a few thousand years) in the environments around old stars and are abundant in many regions of space. These elements and molecules will likely find their way into new stars and planets as they form from molecular clouds.
These are just a few examples of discoveries resulting from infrared spectroscopy. Future infrared missions such as SOFIA (The Stratospheric Observatory For Infrared Astronomy) and SIRTF (The Space Infrared Telescope Facility) will include infrared spectrometers which will lead to a greater understanding of the chemistry of the Universe.

Love is like a balloon. It's floats so high and unaware. And then it bursts.
I'm known as Ketty around here, maybe even Kettlecorn if you're special. I don't if it's a rule or something around here, but I have to tell you about myself in this box thingy. So I will. I'm a twin. My twin brother's name is Tyler. We don't look alike. I do have a social life, so I'll be on and off during the day. I'm not here to please the fakes or you, for that matter. Just here to make friends. Nice ones. My favorite color is bloo. Don't like me so far? I wonder who cares. I live for music. And my ipod goes with me every where. I got a few top bands, if you wanna know them just ask. And if you don't ask I'll tell you anyway. I costantly change my hair, don't know why... just an impulse. I have a few piercings, and if you can't see them, then I'm sure your blind. To my friends I can be crazy, or sweet. It depends on whether I like you or not. Best friends? No. I don't pick favorites. If your still reading this then your on your way to becoming one of my good friends. Also, I'm bisexual. No, not just because everyone else is, but I do like boys and girls. Don't hate, baby, appreciate. Still love me? You better. Am I single? Yeah. I am. But that doesn't mean I'm interested in just everyone. Get real. Speaking of real... fakes are one thing I can't tolerate. I'll add you for the numbers, but inside I probably just don't like you. So, don't expect me to be bestfriends with you if you knowyour a fake. Just stick your face in front of a camera, we'll still love you. Promise. Okay, so I'm near the ending of this thing. Like me or not, honey? Well, I wouldn't know unless you tell me. I'm not as mean as I seem. I just like to bite. So, add me. Hate me. Love me. Hack me. You know you want to. Just do it. Click. Goodbye.

Message from the Chair
On January 17, 2012, an $8.6 million gift from the Leungs launched Azusa Pacific University's L.P. and Timothy Leung School of Accounting, with the following vision: "We will be a premier Christian Accounting School, recognized as a thought leader on accounting character and competence to reflect the life of Christ and shine the light of Truth."
Four components of the vision are:
- God First. Consistent with APU's God First mission, we are united in purpose to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, strength, and mind.
- People. We will show God's love to our customers (students, graduates, employers), colleagues (faculty, staff, administration), the Church, and the world.
- Thought leader. We will be a leader in accounting competence and character, following exemplars like Daniel, who was trustworthy and neither negligent nor corrupt.
- Committed to the Truth. We will be truth tellers, understanding that the purpose of accounting is to give an account. An inaccurate or untruthful account is no account at all. Truth is the "value-added" core of accounting. Falsehood is costly to business.
Prior to the Leung gift, APU's School of Business and Management (SBM), under the leadership of Dean Ilene Bezjian, DBA, had developed a small but solid accounting major, graduating between 11 and 25 students per year and placing them in many local, national, and international CPA firms, as well as in industry, government, and nonprofit organizations. As of 2011, there were about 75 accounting majors in the program, constituting a relatively small part of about 800 business majors within SBM, guided by two full-time accounting faculty members, including Accounting Director Stanley Deal, M.S., CPA
The Leungs' gift is being used to build a nationally recognized, highly respected School of Accounting at APU. In January 2012, APU held the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new L.P. and Timothy Leung School of Accounting and unveiled its vision for the future.
Several initiatives are expected to begin in the near future, starting with the unveiling of the Master of Professional Accountancy (MPA). The school plans to launch this distinct MPA that will focus on internships for students; a top pass rate on the CPA exam; and an exceptional student placement rate in public accounting by graduation.
The Leung gift has allowed APU to take a leadership role in responding to the 2014 California State Board of Accountancy requirement for 150 semester credits to become professionally certified. Accounting degrees featuring new courses in accounting ethics, forensic accounting, global financial accounting, accounting research, and auditing will assure students are equipped with the character and competence to meet the needs of the accounting profession of the future.
