Two CPAs to Join Record Number Already Serving in Congress; More than 50 CPAs Elected as Lawmakers in their States
December 20, 2012
In January, two more CPAs will be sworn into the House of Representatives than are currently serving. Congressmen-elect Patrick Murphy of Florida and Tom Rice of South Carolina, both alums of Deloitte & Touche, will join eight of their colleagues, increasing the record number of CPAs currently serving in Congress to ten.
In Florida, Patrick Murphy ran on the Democratic ticket against incumbent Alan West in a highly competitive race. Murphy attended the University of Miami where he studied accounting and finance. Following his graduation, he joined Deloitte & Touche where he served as an external auditor of large companies. Congressman-elect Murphy will be one of the youngest members of the new Congress.
In South Carolina, Tom Rice, a Republican, won in a newly-created seat in South Carolina. He attended the University of South Carolina studying accounting and later obtained a law degree. While at Deloitte & Touche, Rice earned his CPA. In 1997, he created his own law practice.
AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon, CPA, CGMA said, "As the next Congress takes on the challenging and complex issues facing our nation, it is an opportune time to have CPAs in Congress. CPAs like Patrick Murphy and Tom Rice are in tune with the overall realities of business and will bring with them to Washington, D.C. their unique skills in translating complex information solutions."
Murphy and Rice will serve in the House with the other CPA lawmakers: Representatives Brad Sherman (D-CA), Mike Conaway (R-TX), John Campbell (R-CA), Lynn Jenkins (R-KS), Collin Peterson (D-MN), Steven Palazzo (R-MS), James Renacci (R-OH) and Bill Flores (R-TX).
The CPAs in the House are joined by Senator Mike Enzi (R-WY) and Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) in the Senate who are accountants.
CPAs Elected to State Legislatures
More than 50 CPAs were elected to state legislatures across the nation in the November elections. Their election means that CPAs will continue to have a voice in their states' discussion about budget and other important issues in 2013.
Watch a video of four state legislators explaining how their experience and background prepared them to serve as lawmakers.

Kcal ??? Fat ??? Fat(sats) ??? Carbs ???
Not only is it the last day of the month, but it is also the last of my reviews from Hotel Chocolat's Summer Peepster Selection. Having covered off the Tutti Fruitti last year (See HERE), and Cookie Creme and Eton Mess slabs over the last few weeks, the last remaining slab left to try was this Banoffee one. Having heard good things from other review sites and my readers (namely Lottie and Richard) I was really looking forward to seeing how this 'milk and caramel chocolate, with crushed cookies and banana slices' would fair on the rating system. What with my mother being a bit of a chocolate banana connoisseur there was no way I was going to be able to sneak a review up on the site without her noticing - watch out for here candid opinions.
Quelle surprise this slab also came in 100.0g form and it lasted around a day in our household with us all snapping bits off to eat every now and then. In fitting with the rest of the varieties from this summer selection box, the slab looked very appetising and the dried banana pieces were a nice decorative touch to the already grand looking two tone chocolate swirl pattern. Something that is probably worth mentioning about these 100.0g slabs is the difficulty that I had breaking them apart. As I have written about previously, its not often that I can fault Hotel Chocolat slabs aesthetically, but they can sometimes prove a little hard to break up into smaller bits. This minor observation was immediately put to to one side up as I broke the plastic packet seal. Upon doing so a plethora of sweet smelling fruit and toffee scents invaded my senses - this had all the hallmarks of a great chocolate.
Reading the spiel on the wrapper it was comforting to know that a good proportion of this slab constituted of Hotel Chocolat's 40% milk chocolate recipe, and it proved to be just as good as ever but with an additional banana twist. Indeed, the chocolate maintained all of it's standard cream based cocoa flavours, but had a lovely note of very real tasting banana which came through strongly in latter stages of the thick melt. Although my mother was especially loving the banana chocolate, I personally thought that the bites where both the caramel chocolate and the banana flavoured milk chocolate were swirled together were the best. In these mouthfuls the buttery, salted toffee influences of the caramel further enhanced the depth of the flavours making the resulting taste even more varied and enjoyable. The cookie pieces that lined the bottom of the slab failed to create much of an impact on the taste, however the same can't be said of the banana chips which further went to reinforce the banana flavours. Although in the context of the taste the cookie bits didn't add much, they did at least bring a a decent crunchyness texture wise, which contrasted nicely from the soft melting chocolate.
Overall this was another very well executed flavour combination from Hotel Chocolat and it certainly met all my expectations. It would have been easy to have forgotten about the caramel element to Banoffee Pie and just focused on the banana flavours, but it was great to see Hotel Chocolat recognise the importance of both and combine them to such great effect. Being the big banana chocolate fan that is she is, I knew that this chocolate was going to be good when my Mother did the honours eating the first bit and then exclaiming it was 'the best ever'. Personally I don't think this is the best chocolate I have ever tasted, but believe me when I say that is very good indeed. If you have little interest in bananas then I don't think this will be your sort of chocolate, but on the other hand if you have just the smallest urge to try this chocolate I very much recommend you do so. This is definitely one for you banana lovers and has proved to be a fitting end to my reviews from this delicious Summer Peepster Selection.

Beware of offers of quick and easy degrees! Parents and students should be
aware that there are companies doing business that claim to be
institutions of higher education, but in reality are nothing more
than fraudulent diploma mills.
Parents – The monetary investment you make in your child's future may prove to be money
down the drain if your child does not receive the education and
training you expected and cannot get a job with the degree they receive.
Businesses – The businesses and economy of Alabama are hurt when people are

Trojans rally behind Young, strong defense
It was a tale of two halfs for Bandys on Friday night in its first round playoff match-up against Ashe County.
After trailing 14-12 at halftime, the Trojans rallied behind four second half touchdowns by running back Dominique Young, and the defense forced four turnovers, leading Bandys to the 40-14 victory in Catawba.
The Trojans opened the game with a bang. After returning the opening kickoff to their own 44-yard line, quarterback David Barrow tossed a 56-yard pass to Hunter Lackey to make it a 6-0 game. The extra point was blocked.
The long pass play, coach Randy Lowman said, may have ended up being a curse.
"I'm not sure it helped or hurt us to hit that big pass at the beginning of the game," Lowman said. "I think we got in our head that it was going to be easier than it was going to be because the next 2-3 series, we didn't do anything offensively on the field. Our safeties weren't moving around and they got caught standing in their tracks."
Ashe County quarterback Sam Gammons made the Trojans' secondary pay for their lack of coverage. He completed his first eight passes in the contest for 104 yards.
The Huskies' defense first got the team on the scoreboard. After a snap flew over Bandys punter Peter Guiraud's head, lineman Michael Elliott hopped on the ball for an Ashe County touchdown. The extra point made the score 7-6 Huskies.
On the opposite side of the field from Gammons, Barrow continued his stellar play, completing a 31-yard scoring pass to DeAndre Mack on the last play of the first quarter to put his team up 12-7. A two-point conversion failed.
Despite Gammons' strong play, the Huskies couldn't manage to score an offensive touchdown until their final drive of the first half. That's when he connected with Tyler Stuart for a score to give his team the lead at halftime.
Gammons finished the half completing 15-of-20 passes for 199 yards and a touchdown pass.
It went all down hill from there for Ashe County.
After a message from the training staff, Lowman replaced Barrow with Anthony Toscano in the second half because his senior quarterback was experiencing dizziness.
"I didn't know David was going to be out," Lowman said. "I went to talk to the team, and the trainer told me 'Dave is still a little groggy. I don't think he should go.' He passed all of his concussion tests and answered everything right. We didn't think twice and put in Anthony."
The junior quarterback, who started for the Trojans in several games following a broken hand by Barrow in week one of the season, had a strong half, completing 4-of-5 passes for 62 yards.
Dominique Young, though, stole the show.
Despite being held to nine yards on seven carries in the first half, Young, a senior tailback, exploded for four scores, including three on the ground of 29, 10 and 14 yards.
All three of Young's rushing scores came off of turnovers by the Huskies, including an interception by Gammon and fumbles by Jeremy Caffey and Kolten Pilar.
Gammons threw two interceptions and was held to just 55 passing yards in the second half.
"We got our safeties moving around instead of standing on the hashes watching them complete passes," Lowman said. "I should have made them buy a ticket to watch."
Capping off a great night, Young added a 30-yard touchdown score on a pass from Toscano on fourth down and eight.
"He's just a professional," Lowman said of Toscano. "Nothing shakes or rattles him. He just goes in and executes. I liked having him out there."
Young rushed 19 times for 93 yards and also caught two passes for 32 yards. Both efforts were part of Bandys out-gaining Ashe County in offensive yardage in the second half, 174-40.
"We knew we were a better team," Young said. "We made a lot of mistakes and weren't playing as hard as we could. We just came out, made a few big plays and it sparked us the rest of the game. The offensive line really made some adjustments in the second half."
The Trojans advance to next Friday's second round, when they will take on Smoky Mountain, who defeated fellow CVAC member Bunker Hill.
"It's going to be cold up there," Young said. "I think we can beat them though. I have confidence in our team."
Lowman said his team will have to re-evaluate itself and take a new approach next week.
"Our guys in the past have had to step it up when they get to this point in the season," he said. "I hope this bunch will do it, too."

Neil Resnick, MD, leads one of the largest and most innovative geriatric programs in the country with more board-certified geriatricians than nearly any program and a wide array of senior services and an extensive research portfolio.
Dr. Resnick helped to pioneer the field of geriatric voiding dysfunction and incontinence, syndromes that lead to significant disability. His research has improved the understanding of the causes of incontinence, and he has developed novel approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
In addition, Dr. Resnick devised a nurse-administered incontinence management strategy which is now mandated by the United States government for every nursing home resident, and which has been adopted by other countries as well.
He has contributed to the National Institutes of health Consensus conference on Incontinence, edited its published proceedings, chaired several national scientific meetings on aging, and served on numerous editorial boards and grant review committees. He has served as a consultant to the World Health Organization international consultations on incontinence.
A graduate of Yale, Dr. Resnick received his medical degree from Stanford University Medical School. In 1983, he founded the Continence Center at Harvard's Brigham and Women's Hospital, the first of its kind in North America. He also founded and directed the geriatrics division at the Brigham for a decade until his arrival at the University of Pittsburgh in 1999.
Dr. Resnick's expertise has been recognized by inclusion in "Best Doctor" lists both locally and nationally as well as by awards from the NIH, International Continence Society, Society for General Internal Medicine, and American Urological Association.
More recently, Dr. Resnick and his colleagues have been working to re-engineer geriatric care. Their goal is not only to improve it, but also to make it more feasible for non-geriatricians to provide.

1891 Corn Palace
The 1891 Palace was so large that it spread across Pierce Street and featured a large archway that allowed traffic to pass though. The palace featured a balcony atop the main 200-foot tower. There, visitors could take in a magnificent view of the city and the surrounding three states.
Once again the spacious interior allowed space for concerts by nationally famous bands.
1890 Corn Palace
The biggest palace yet, the 1890 Corn Palace featured a 200-foot main tower and six 100-foot towers. A huge dome, built as part of the largest tower, formed a giant globe with various countries mapped with grains of corn. Of course, Iowa faced front and center with Sioux City most prominently displayed.One of the inside highlights, according to the Sioux City Journal, was a miniature valley, "and from far distant mountains clothed in pines came a stream of water, leaping over rocks, winding across a meadow, and falling into a lake below where palmettos were growing." The palace also had an auditorium that seated 1,200 people.
1888 Corn Palace
The second corn palace, built the next year in 1888, was even more splendid than the first. It was built at a new site on the northeast corner of Sixth and Pierce. There was a huge main tower and several smaller towers, and every square inch of the exterior was covered with grain. The only wood showing was on the flagpoles. Inside there was a roomy courtyard surrounded by display galleries. In the courtyard people could enjoy three daily concerts played by the famous Elgin Band from Elgin, Illinois.
1889 Corn Palace
In order to further advertise Sioux City as the Corn Palace City, officials sponsored a special train "the Corn Palace Train" to make a tour of the eastern seaboard. The train was decorated much like the palaces themselves. It left Sioux City in the spring of 1889 with 135 good-will passengers. A band was on board to play rousing tunes along the way and help attract attention. The cost of the trip, including fares, decorations and everything else was about $20,000, paid for by businessmen of Sioux City. They all considered it a good investment.
1887 Corn Palace
The Corn Place committee hired architect W.E. Loft to create the plans for the first corn palace structure. His original plan called for a building 58 feet by 58 feet to be built at the northwest corner of Fifth and Jackson Streets. However, planners soon decided to enlarge the building to 100 feet by 100 feet. It was again enlarged to include the Goldie Roller Rink. The final size of the corn palace encompassed more than 18,000 square feet of floor space.
The budget increased, too. Originally, the budget was just $5,000. However, it was soon clear that this would not be enough, and a finance committee was appointed to raise a total of $25,000. The work on the palace could then begin.

Autism Speaks joined with advocates from the nation's other leading disability organizations today to make the case before Congress for ABLE—a bill that would allow families raising children with disabilities to save tax-free for their future needs. The briefing was organized by Reps. Ander Crenshaw (R-FL), Chris Van Hollen (D-MD), and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) all cosponsors of HR.3423, the House version of the Achieving a Better Life Experience (ABLE) Act.
A panel of disability experts, including Stuart Spielman, senior policy counsel with Autism Speaks, addressed the briefing. The Achieving a Better Life Experience Act would level the playing field for individuals with autism (and other disabilities) and their families to save for disability-related expenses. Just as families can put away savings in tax-exempt accounts for children to go to college, the ABLE Act would allow such accounts for individuals with disabilities to cover their future education, housing, transportation and related expenses.
ABLE Accounts would resemble existing 529 college savings plans and would supplement, not replace, benefits provided through Medicaid, private insurance or employment. Spielman noted the 600 percent increase in the prevalence of autism over the past two decades and the financial hardship encountered by many families caring for loved ones with autism. The ability to plan for the future needs of loved ones with autism would offer another resource for some families, he said. John Ariale, Rep. Crenshaw's chief of staff, said the bill was drafted so that SSI and Medicaid benefits would not be negatively impacted by opening an ABLE account.
If the account balance reaches $100,000, SSI benefits would be suspended, he said. SSI benefits would resume if the account balance drops below $100,000. Crenshaw and Van Hollen said the bill enjoys strong bipartisan support in both the House and the Senate, and already has over 90 House sponsors. Qualified disability expenses under ABLE would include: school tuition and related educational materials; expenses for securing and maintaining a primary residence; transportation; employment supports; health prevention and wellness costs; assistive technology and personal support; and various miscellaneous expenses associated with independent living.
Eligibility would extend to any individual who is receiving supplemental security income benefits or disability benefits under Title II of the Social Security Act, or "who has a medically determined physical or mental impairment, which results in marked and severe functional limitations" that can be verified by a physician. Spielman noted that he and his wife were able to establish a traditional 529 account for their typically developing son to save for his college expenses, but are unable to do so for their other son who has autism to save for his future life needs.
The ABLE act would improve the quality of life for individuals with disabilities, he said.

PHOENIX (AP) -- A change-of-plea hearing is scheduled Friday for an Arizona legislator charged in a corruption case.
Rep. Ben Arredondo previously pleaded not guilty to federal charges of bribery and other crimes.
The Tempe Democrat's lawyer did not immediately return a call for comment, but a federal court docket entry says a magistrate will hold the change-of-plea hearing Friday morning.
An indictment charged Arredondo with soliciting and accepting sports and charity event tickets from FBI undercover agents and with disclosing confidential information while he was a Tempe City Council member.
The scheduling of the change-of-plea hearing was reported first by the Arizona Capitol Times.
Arredondo is not running for re-election.

I started writing a new blog — both for the therapy of writing my way through all of this and to give the folks in my life here in Michigan a way to keep tabs on me while I get started on a new adventure in the big city.
It's been a while since I've posted here. First, adjusting to a new job. Then, wrapping my head around divorce and the awfulness of saying good bye to the dog that has always been the muse for this blog.
For the time being, I'll continue to post here every once in a while. There will be a dog in my life in New York and either way, I intend to start volunteering at a shelter once I get settled.
So there will be dog stories yet to come. And with or without Sensi, my love for learning about canine behavior will not be dampened.
In the meantime, here's an excerpt from my post about why I'm leaving my dog. Follow the link to read the entire thing.
Truly loving dogs, especially your own, means making sure that your decisions are based on what is best for the dog and not what is best for your own emotional wellbeing.
I'm not an idiot, though. I know Sensi is going to be depressed without me. Animals have emotions. It's so much harder to think about the story of Hachi now.
This isn't a situation where I can have it both ways — decide what's best for him and not hurt him in the process. Whether I bring him or leave him, I hurt him. The decision left to make has to be based on what hurts him the least.

The very precision of drone strikes, and the necessary secrecy involved in such actions can end up shielding our government from the public scrutiny that a troop deployment invites.
For me, and those in my chain of command, those deaths will haunt us as long as we live, just as we are haunted by the civilian casualties that have occurred through conventional fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Beyond the Afghan theater, we only target al Qaeda and its associated forces. Even then, the use of drones is heavily constrained.

Sexist Moments In The Newsroom Recap: "Bullies"
Look, I don't want to be tossing around the word misogyny like Tom Cruise used to toss around cocktail shakers (too dated?). However, honestly, Aaron Sorkin's The Newsroom is just ridiculous. I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore (not too dated!). If I'm going to keep hate-watching this show, I'm going to recap it here so we can discuss it. So. Last night's sexist rundown – which we'll define by instances where female characters seem too stupid to exist in any professional world, let alone a newsroom:

text: Hey Gang! Thanks for checking out my profile, although I'm not real sure why you would. I'm a pretty simple kind of guy. I have a bunch of kids because I figured the more I make the better chance I have of one of them being able to take care of me when I'm really old. My wife says she loves me, although I think she just tolerates me. I am a flag-waving proud American and Texan. I like camping, shooting sports and taking long naps. I am a United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA) competitive shooter and I love my sport of choice. I like trucks, loud music and playing golf when I can. Yeah, I also like long walks on the beach and piña coladas, but this isn't a dating service! Love ya, mean it!

Fostering a New Tradition of Indian Puppetry That Educates as it Entertains
This article originally appeared on the Sesame Workshop India site. VisitSesameWorkshopIndia.org to learn more about Galli Galli Sim Sim and all the wonderful work Sesame Workshop India does to improve the lives of and educate the children of India.
Sesame Workshop in India is committed to sustainable projects that enrich children's lives long after our work is complete. We do this through partnerships, local development, and by investing in the furry heart of our programs—the puppeteers themselves.
Folk traditions of string puppets and shadow puppetry flourished in India long before our Galli Galli Sim Sim television show arrived in 2006. Yet the program's Muppets represent something new: a sense of humor and emotional depth that connects powerfully with children and opens them to all types of learning.
It's this quality that attracted actor Manish Sachdeva, whose work with Sesame Street in India has transformed into an enduring passion. Despite having no puppetry experience before his audition for Galli Galli Sim Sim, Manish was chosen from among 2,000 actors to begin training with master Muppeteers from Sesame Street in the U.S. Learning the unusual art of video puppetry took weeks of hands-on mentorship and many rounds of video critiques.
Manish's character Boombah the Lion is a playful big brother known to a generation of Indian children. Even during training, Manish was urged to explore Boombah's persona and make him as real as possible. "I started asking 'What's his chemistry with other characters? What does he think?'" recalls Manish. "As an artist, you play with it and make it your own."
The experience—artistic, technical, and social—was excellent preparation for Manish's next big role. At the end of his tenure on Galli Galli Sim Sim, he started building his own puppets and a company of artists to bring them to life—The Puppet Studio. In its first year, the group produced numerous videos, hosted workshops for children and aspiring puppeteers, and staged an all-puppet version of "The Wizard of Oz." And Manish is dreaming even bigger, with ambitions for a feature film and TV series that expand the legacy of Muppets in India.
By investing in puppeteers like Manish, Sesame Workshop in India is helping to nurture an art form that can move people in profound ways, giving a voice not only to artists but to children who might otherwise have none.
Living proof is Ghazal Javed, the voice and hands behind Chamki, the much-loved star of Galli Galli Sim Sim. India's leading woman puppeteer, Ghazal's career with Sesame Street in India started during her final college exams in 2005. She's been immersed in puppetry ever since, parlaying her time on the show into a dizzying array of projects, including scriptwriting, documentaries, a soap opera, performing at the Cricket World Cup, and a high-profile government campaign to promote girls' education.
But her most rewarding work, she says, happens more quietly. In 2011, Ghazal and her partner, who plays the character Googly on Galli Galli Sim Sim, brought a month-long puppet workshop to an orphanage in the embattled region of Kashmir. Working with children whose lives have been torn apart by war, Ghazal worked to create a safe space for them to share their stories.
Ghazal recalls one girl who wrote about how her father was gunned down by militants. At first, she struggled through tears to put words to her tale. Then she picked up a puppet.
"She grabbed this puppet, which she made," Ghazal says, "and she stood up in front of everyone. She told about losing her parents and how she came to the orphanage. She didn't flinch. She did it all confidently—with a smile."
Behold the power of puppets.

text: ECMO: Our History, References We were the second ECMO center on the West Coast and one of the first three facilities in the nation to achieve a "Center of Excellence" designation. We are the only center in the Pacific Northwest to provide a formal, immediately available and experienced transport team; we are by far the busiest and most experienced center in the region. Our first experience with multiple casualties needing cardio-pulmonary bypass (CPB) support was due to the Mt. Hood climbing disaster in 1986. Thirteen climbers on a high school outing became trapped at altitude (9,000 feet) in a blizzard and suffered severe hypothermia. Nine of these adolescents died. The four climbers found three days later were profoundly hypothermic. (<24 C), and the media generated an expectation that hypothermic patients are not dead until "they are warm and dead." Because of the limitation of CPB teams and equipment at our hospital, we organized and coordinated with three other Portland hospitals to distribute the patients so that every patient had the opportunity to be revived by this technology1. There were several survivors, and our ECMO program was born. Over the course of years, Jonathan Hill, M.D., and William Long, M.D., from the Legacy Emanuel trauma team, continued to use ECMO for a variety of indications, particularly patients suffering from "un-resuscitate-able" trauma. The extremes of hypothermia, acidosis, hypoxia and shock could be stabilized and corrected by acute ECMO. Cardiopulmonary bypass technology (and ECMO) can restore adequate blood flow, improve oxygenation, and re-warm the patient2. It has been our experience that these profoundly compromised patients require a period of total support while their extreme physiologic derangements and injuries are corrected. Frequently they require extracorporeal support for a relatively short period of time before their native function begins to return3. Some of these patients are too unstable for transport by normal means; therefore, in 1985 the Mobile Surgical Transport Team (MSTT) was formed to address the logistical problems of transporting patients in extremis from referring institutions. The program was designed to take a team to the patient and provide additional personnel, resources, capabilities and experience at the referring institution and en route back to the level I trauma center. With the development of miniature, simple CPB or ECMO systems and heparin bonded circuits; this technology was added to the MSTT missions. Selected members of the operating room, critical care, trauma resuscitation, perfusion, and surgical teams were trained and credentialed to function on an MSTT4-6. A strong transport capability is essential for a regional ECMO referral center to be effective. The neonatal and pediatric ECMO programs developed simultaneously, beginning in 1987 and 1998 respectively. In 1998, with the addition of Andy Michaels, M.D., who was trained by Dr Bartlett in Michigan, we began using ECMO for isolated ARDS more frequently and added protocols to our approach to severe lung injury7,8. We have been early adopters of new technologies in critical care, perfusion science, vascular access and resuscitation and continue to have a state-of-the-art clinical program. During the H1N1 "swine flu" pandemic of 2009–2010, we were among the busiest centers in the world and treated the second highest volume of patients in the nation9. Since then, our regional impact has grown and our volume of patients and outcomes have been excellent10,11. In January 2013 we instituted a focused ECMO service integrating the neonatal, pediatric and adult programs with our critical care services to create the Randall/Emanuel Severe Cardio-pulmonary Failure and ECMO (RESCUE) Center. It is our goal to treat the most compromised patients in our region with standards of care and outcomes that are consistent with the best international practices. Our current results reflect that goal. We have a 65 percent survival rate for adults with profound refractory hypoxemic ARDS. This compares favorably with international rates of 55 percent for severe ARDS patients treated with ECMO and 45 to 47 percent survival for similar patients treated with the best "non-ECMO" methods. In addition, the time that the survivors in our care required ECMO is significantly shorter than for the survivors reported to the international ELSO ECMO registry treated in other centers11, 12.

By Clara Parkes
Hats offer an ideal excuse to play with yarn. Unless you have a job that entails rubbing your head vigorously against rough surfaces all day, you don't really need to worry about durability. You can choose a yarn based on prettiness alone and know that almost anything will work.
I chose to swatch Faina Goberstein's lovely Crown of Leaves hat because it has such intriguing intricate sideways cables while simultaneously maintaining functional ribbing motifs everywhere else—which means you'll have fun knitting and the hat will actually stay on your head.
The original sample is knit in Handwerks Classic DK, a smooth traditional plied yarn made from 100% superwash wool. I really couldn't improve upon this type of yarn's performance, so I shifted my focus toward differently constructed yarns.
First, I swatched Classic Elite Moorland. This tweedy faux single gives the hat a decidedly wooly, wintry look. Without any interruption of ply shadows, the yarn renders the stitches in a smooth, clean way rather as if I'd been knitting with a tube of pasta.
In terms of fiber composition, Moorland has 42% merino wool, 23% alpaca, 19% mohair, and 16% acrylic—a reasonable mix of bounce, warmth, shimmer, and affordability. For the medium size in this hat, you'd need two skeins.
Moving from one ply to two, I cast on with Elsebeth Lavold Silky Wool. Generally you may hear people advise against using two-plied yarns for cables, since two plies always push away from one another instead of coming together to create a round, full fabric. And you want round, fullness in cables.
But Silky Wool has a slightly tweedy, wooly finish that fills in the gaps and works magic with cables (if you've seen any of Elsebeth Lavold's patterns you'll know this to be true). The rich colors are all heathered, adding to the gently weathered mossy finish in the fabric. At 45% of the total fiber content, wool is in the majority—followed closely by silk (35%) and nylon (20%). I'm guessing part of the yarn's slubby texture comes from raw silk, making the nylon necessary to hold the shorter fibers together. Despite generous yardage, you'll still need two skeins to complete a hat—with lots left over.
Many years ago, while researching my first book, I asked a long-time millworker what his favorite fiber blend was. Without missing a beat, he replied, "Cotton and wool, 50/50." He went on to explain how this particular combination made both fibers better, giving you an ideal fabric that was both cool and warm, well-wearing yet lively. I've never forgotten his advice, which is why I next swatched Classic Elite Chesapeake from the Verde Collection.
This 50/50 blend of organic cotton and Merino wool was spun in Italy. Its S-on-S construction (with fine, plied strands further plied together in the same direction) produces a round and springy yarn with spectacular high-relief stitch definition for cables. (It's the same yarn Tonia Bary used for her Goose Rocks hoodie in the Spring/Summer edition.) For those knitters in warm climates, this particular blend is an ideal way to get your wool kick without overheating your hands (or head).
It appears that the wool and cotton are kept in separate strands that are then plied and dyed (or vice-versa) so that the wool is fully saturated with color while the cotton stays lighter. This gives the yarn a candycane look that becomes more gently heathered the further away you stand. Yardage is a little shorter on this yarn, so you'll need three skeins to complete a medium-sized hat.
Since the S-on-S construction is so ideal for cables, I decided to swatch another fiber combination—this time ditching the cotton in favor of the softest, most plush, shimmery and luxurious blend I could find. The answer was Sublime Cashmere Merino Silk DK, a blend of 75% extra fine merino, 20% silk, and 5% cashmere (also spun in Italy).
This final yarn was pure decadence, rendering the cables in full, well-rounded definition while producing a springy and oh so squeezable fabric. This yarn has enough elasticity to make a hat that'll stretch to accommodate a far wider range of head sizes than any of the other yarns swatched. The colors are all smooth, saturated pastel solids. The combination of S-on-S construction and 20% silk content gives this yarn a crisp, well-tailored clarity and brightness. Lucky for us, a medium-sized hat requires only two skeins.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Fox says the new "American Idol" panel of judges is set -- but the network is keeping mum on who has been picked until next week.
The network said Thursday that the panel for season 10 has been confirmed and will be announced in Inglewood, Calif., next Wednesday. Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez are the front-runners.
The incoming judges will fill at least some of the seats vacated by Simon Cowell, Ellen DeGeneres and Kara DioGuardi and likely join original judge Randy Jackson.
Fox is making the announcement during the last of the national contestant auditions for next season, which starts in January. The tryouts are being held near Los Angeles at the Forum, former home to the L.A. Lakers.

ASUS recently announced a new range of microATX motherboards with onboard HDMI and DVI ports for Intel and AMD processors with integrated graphics, and USB 3.0 ports with performance-enhancing ASUS USB 3.0 Boost technology. By removing the need for a discrete graphics card, the new motherboards provide a more affordable option for home entertainment PCs that can fully exploit high-performance USB 3.0 storage.
The new ASUS microATX motherboards support the integrated graphics features of both processor families, and each model features both an HDMI port for use with HDTVs and a DVI port for connection to desktop displays. The ASUS B75M-A, H61M-PLUS, H61M-A/USB3 and H61M-A are microATX motherboards designed for Intel processors; the A85XM-A, A55M-A/USB3, A55M-A are for AMD APUs. The microATX form factor and reduced cooling requirements of these new motherboards make them ideally suited for compact desktop and home entertainment PCs.

Metascore®Mixed or average reviewsbased on a weighted average of allcritic review scores.
I call Piranha 3D ''exploitation,'' rather than a quality scare movie, because it serves up well-timed gross-outs instead of genuine suspense and because the movie has no pretense of providing character, plot, acting, or dialogue that's anything more than boilerplate.
Read Full Review
A pitch-perfect, guilty-pleasure serving of late-summer schlock that handily nails the tongue-in-cheek spirit of the Roger Corman original.

Not for kids
Extreme gore, sex, teen drinking in fishy remake.
What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Piranha 3D is a graphically gory remake of the 1978 cult favorite. The new version is very, very heavy on gore, with a stomach-turning sequence of post-piranha carnage -- complete with skeletal remains; hanging, wobbling flesh; and gallons of blood. There's also plenty of sex on display, including a long sequence in which two fully naked women swim and kiss underwater, not to mention dozens of other teens wearing (and sometimes not wearing) skimpy bikinis. Teens drink openly, with very little consequence. Language is strong and constant, with many uses of both "f--k" and "s--t." The 3-D factor makes the effects and violent scenes even more intense and relentlessly bloody.
Messages: The movie is basically one long, unapologetic celebration of sex and gory violence. There's a minor message about how the teen partiers mess up the lake with their trash, but it's drowned in blood. There's some attempt at teamwork and problem-solving toward the end, but it's perfunctory and rushed.
Role models: Teen hero Jake eventually steps up to rescue his friend -- and finally gets to express how he really feels about her -- but before that, he lies to his mother and abandons his younger brother and sister in order to work on a boat with porn stars, booze, and a drug-snorting director. Both bad and good characters die, in the most horrific ways imaginable.
Violence: Tons of grisly gore, with the expected blood-in-the-water and bubbling as the piranhas go to work just below the surface. There's also a gruesome, post-carnage sequence of torn and shredded Spring Break bodies, tattered, hanging flesh, and gallons of blood. Bloody skeletons, and the fish munch on flesh, eyes, and one penis. A cowardly teen tries to escape in a motorboat and runs over several other teens in the process (a girl's hair is tangled in the motor). In one very squirm-inducing moment, a small girl steps on a broken bit of glass in the water. Two children are in peril during the course of the film.
Sex: Real-life porn star Riley Steele plays an actress shooting a sexy video. She's seen completely naked, swimming around underwater with another naked woman. One character's penis is ripped off by the fish; it's seen floating in the water. Dozens of girls in bikinis at the Spring Break festivities; some remove their tops (one girl parasails while topless), and there's also girl-on-girl kissing and a wet T-shirt contest. A teen looks at a porn website. Lots of additional sexual innuendo.
Language: Very frequent use of "f--k" and "s--t." Other words used often include "son of a bitch," "goddamn," "piss," "ass," "boobs," "t-ts," "tatas," "chocha," "Jesus Christ" (as an exclamation) and "penis."
Consumerism: A Mountain Dew banner is seen during the wet T-shirt contest.
Drinking, drugs and smoking: An old man drinks beer in the opening scene. Teens are seen drinking heavily during the Spring Break festivities. The "porn" director snorts cocaine and drinks champagne and tequila. He shares champagne and tequila with the teens on his boat; one teen girl drinks some and throws up afterward.

Im ready to give BoF V Dragon Quarter a chance.. Even if I dont like it, it's as close as I can get of a new Breath of Fire experience for the rest of my existence.
I would've loved a BoF6 for 3DS.
I reckon it was either this or Breath of Fire 6 for 3DS.

10 reasons for environmental and energy technology from Bavaria
Bavarian companies provide innovative technologies and services that exist worldwide using a variety of factors.
1. A1 location for key technologies
Increasing the quality of life, the responsible use of our natural resources, and the conservation of natural habitats for us and our future generations: With the solutions they offer, they have developed environmental technology into a globally-recognized key sector with high growth potential within a few years. Bavaria has helped shape this development from the beginning and is now one of the strongest locations for environmental and energy technology worldwide.
2. Central industry of the future
Approximately 60,000 employees generate annual sales of an estimated twelve billion euros: the production of environmental protection goods, both qualitatively and quantitatively, has long been one of the decisive economic factors in the state of Bavaria. Both in the number of employees as well as in the sales figures, this corresponds to approximately twenty percent of total German revenue. The level of performance respective to the environmental management field places Bavaria in a top position when comparing on a national level.
3. Innovation for the world market
An unusually high level of innovation associated with typical German ingenuity creates ideal conditions here in order to successfully meet the technical challenges in this forward-looking sector in particular. The highest quality standards and broad-based technical and scientific know-how form the very best foundations. With an export ratio of nearly forty percent, Bavarian environmental technology company products are some of the most successful in the world market.
4. Patented dynamics
The variety and quality of patents are an important indicator of economic dynamism and strength of innovation in a region. In Bavaria, 63 percent of all patenting companies hold patents on their own technological sector in the environmental industry. At the same time, patent applications in renewable energies and renewable resources also continuously increase, such as for new developments in the biomass and fuel cell field and in the solar technology industry.
5. The power of the middle class
The strong middle class and the large number of small and medium-sized companies are among the economic factors for which Germany and especially Bavaria receives worldwide recognition: this is especially true for the field of environmental technology. Bavaria alone has over 2,500 medium-sized businesses in this sector: in drinking- and wastewater treatment, in the construction of electric cars, and in the fast-growing solar technology industry such as in the development of specific measurement methods for the energy sector.
6. Concentrated scientific competence
Bavaria is one of the leading European research facility locations in the field of environmental technology. Seven universities, ten colleges which include a number of world-renowned institutions such as the Helmholtz Institute, the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Institute, the Kompetenzzentrum für Nachwachsende Rohstoffe [Competence Centre for Renewable Resources] and others offer a unique concentration of scientific competence and create the best training and educational opportunities through their partially cross-disciplinary network
7. Training trump card
The strength of the Bavarian economy is based, as is the entire key technologies sector, on a training and education system that has been proven over decades.. This applies to both the scientific and academic superstructure with its strong interdisciplinary orientation as well as the training of skilled workers and employees. They benefit from what is known as the "dual system" in Germany, which connects the theoretical basics with practical professional activities.
8. Policy as a partner
"New products, new businesses, new markets" - is the guiding principle of Bavarian economic policy. That these words are put into action can also be seen in the success of Bavarian environmental technology. The State of Bavaria has created the best conditions for domestic and foreign companies with an uncomplicated administration favourable to medium-sized businesses and the creation of attractive location and employment conditions. This includes targeted incentives for the long-term support of research, education and network structures.
9. Best connections in the heart of Europe
A functioning infrastructure that has historically evolved to air, water and land is one of the primary conditions in securing competitive advantages in global competition. With its superbly developed road network, the international airports of Munich and Nuremberg, and its densely-developed regional and national rail network, Bavaria offers the best connections to all national and European regions from the heart of Europe.
10. Twice as attractive
The diversity of the Bavarian landscape, the cleanliness of its lakes, rivers and forests are evidence of an intact, carefully-guarded ecological balance. Thus it offers not only an example of the appreciation for the region's natural beauty, but is also partly the result of successfully-applied solutions from the domestic environmental economy. For companies in this area that makes Bavaria twice as attractive.
