Valparaiso scored three unearned runs in the fifth inning and scored twice in the bottom of the eighth once Youngstown State cut the margin to one in a 7-4 victory over the Penguins on Friday afternoon at Emory G. Bauer Field.
Valparaiso starter Chris DeBoo retired the first nine Penguins he faced, but Mike Accardi got the YSU offense going to start the fourth. He singled to center on a 2-2 pitch, and Neil Schroth followed with an infield single. Drew Dosch then reached on a bunt single that catcher Billy Cribbs threw wide to first on, which allowed Accardi to score from second. Nick DiNello then singled in Schroth to give the Penguins a 2-0 lead.
The Crusaders cut the deficit in half in the bottom of the fourth when Andrew Bynum led off with a double, went to third on a sacrifice bunt and scored on Cribbs' ground out. Valparaiso then scored three unearned runs in the fifth to go up 4-2. Spencer Mahoney reached on a three-base error by left-fielder David Saluga to start the inning, and Tanner Vavra followed with an RBI single. YSU starter Blake Aquadro allowed the go-ahead run to score on a two-out balk, and the third run of the inning scored on Kyle Schneider's single.
The Crusaders got another two-out run in the seventh to go up 5-2 when Cribbs doubled down the left field line and scored one batter later on Andy Burns' single.
The Penguins got within one in the top of the eighth when it scored two runs on four hits. Jason Shirley led off with a pinch-hit double, and he scored two batters later when Schroth singled. DiNello and Phil Lipari hit back-to-back two out singles to plate Schroth. Valparaiso closer Karch Kowalczyk came in and retired Marcus Heath with runners on first and second, and the Penguins went down in order in the ninth.
Valpo got both of its runs in the eighth with two outs. Tanner Vavra came in on a wild pitch from Nic Manuppelli, and Chris Manning singled, went to second on an error and scored on Bryce Hara's single.
Aquadro allowed four runs, just one earned, on eight hits in five innings and left with a 4-2 deficit. Alex Frey was charged with two runs, and the final run went on Manuppelli's record. DeBoo allowed all four runs on eight hits in 7.2 innings.
The Penguins and Crusaders will wrap up their series and the regular season on Saturday at 2 p.m.

A GIANT crater found under the Timor Sea could turn out to be the biggest known to have hit the Earth and may even have been responsible for creating Antarctica.
The crater was discovered by scientists from the Australian National University.
A crater in Siberia currently weighs in as the largest asteroid strike on Earth, at 100km wide.
However, the crater discovered by the ANU has so far only been measured according to the width of the base of the mountains surrounding it.
The biggest - Mount Ashmore - measures 50km at its base, according to ANU extraterrestrial impact specialist Dr Andrew Glikson.
"The minimum size of the Mount Ashmore dome ... is 50km at the base, but the full size of the impact crater - not yet defined - may be significantly larger, " Dr Glikson said.
Only one other crater compares to the pair - the 85km wide Chesapeake Crater in the ocean floor off Virginia, USA.
Dr Glikson said the asteroid hit the Earth during a period of intense bombardment 35 million years ago.
Its strike coincided with a sharp fall in global temperatures which in turn preceded the formation of the Antarctic ice sheet.
Both the Siberian and Chesapeake asteroids hit at roughly the same time.
And a million years later, the Drake Passage cut South America off from the Antarctica land mass, providing a constant flow of water around the ice sheet already forming as the Earth cooled.
Dr Glikson said the Antarctic has since acted as a "'thermostat' for the Earth's climate".
His research has been published in the Australian Journal of Earth Sciences.

Trying to get a handle on Ludo's music is a little like forcing six blind men to describe an elephant having felt just one side of it. Listen to "Whipped Cream," the first single from the band's 2010 Island Records/Island Def Jam Music Group release Prepare the Preparations, and you hear what co-founding member, vocalist and songwriter Andrew Volpe, dubs "'70s butt-rock," delivered with a deadpan, tongue-in-cheek irony even Weezer would appreciate.
After forming in 2003 and releasing two independent albums on its own Redbird label – 2003's self-titled bow and 2005's concept album Broken Bride (both re-released in 2009 by Island) – Ludo scored a Top 12 Hot Modern Rock track in "Love Me Dead," the burlesque-style necrophilia smash. While humor is a vital part of the group's approach, its musical chops place the group closer to art-prog artists like Frank Zappa, They Might Be Giants, Ben Folds, Randy Newman, and Queen than to a novelty act. It's kind of a blessing and a curse," admits keyboardist Tim Convy about the band's sense of humor. "But it's a large part of what we do. We're just trying to be genuine and true to the cornucopia of human experience. We have songs that are dark and creepy as well as songs that are stupid and fun."
How can the same band be responsible for the spacious dub-wise world beat of "Too Tired to Wink," the band's look back at the exhaustion of two years on the road working on its last record, and the '50s soul torch ballad "I'll Never Be Lonely Again," its scratchy gospel organ underlining Volpe's sweet ode to his grandparents' romance "on a hot Kansas night?" "I'm a Romantic with a capitol R," says Volpe. "I think the moon is beautiful, the stars are beautiful, the mountains and ocean are beautiful. The same way the macabre can be beautiful. Those standard 19th century poetic images still work, even if they are clichés. Just because you're intelligent doesn't mean you can't have fun. Sometimes it's okay to just indulge." Perhaps that's the best way to describe Ludo: simple, genuine and down-to-earth, but smart. This band can be funny, but also dead serious about its craft – in all, a rock 'n' roll band for the post-modern 21st century.

As new year approaches, I've put together a little 'what I wore' 2013, featuring some of my favourite outfits from this year. At the start of this year, my blog was solely personal style, but as I look back I'm so happy with the way it's developed over the last year and I hope you've been able to see a bit of the real me. As ever I've loved writing my blog this year, and have literally shared my experiences wherever I went - including my visits to Paris, and London.
July was a crazy month, but I've chosen my little dress I wore on holiday as one of my favourite outfit posts! The dress was from Primark, and was definitely one of my summer essentials. In August, I attended V Festival for the first time, and with that my complete festival outfit. My New Look top complimented my vibrant orange River Island shorts. I also loved my Joules wellies, which had details of cute doggies on! As I started a new school year, I went for a cheeky day trip to London. I wore an cobalt blue skirt with OASAP denim jacket and Clark's boots.
Lots of Love,

Head Coach Michelle Bento-Jackson
On the game:
"At the beginning of the second half, we just need to get to the point where we can build a 17-point lead into a 25-point lead. We have to get stronger and I felt that we were allowing them to score too easily, and we became too careless on the offensive end with turnovers."
On the team's outside shooting carrying the day:
"Ashley and Chandice came through for us there. Whenever we would start to struggle, one of them would hit a three and turn things around for us."
On halting the three-game skid:
"A win is a win, and the good thing about today is that we did finish the last four minutes of the game pretty strong. We did get some strong rebounds and key stops on the defensive end, and now we need to finish our non-conference schedule strong at San Jose State and fix a few things to give ourselves confidence heading into WCC play."
Guard Ashley Graham
On the team bouncing back from the Toledo rally
"That's happened to us a couple of times before, and we're just working on staying strong despite adversity. We just have to continue to fight hard."
On the team's hot outside shooting: "We have to keep shooting every opportunity that we get. We have great shooters on our team so we know that we can get hot at any time."
On getting a win to break a three-game skid:
"This was a big win for us. Despite their rally in the second half, this was a good win for us regardless, and it will help us especially heading into conference play in a week."

The U.K.-based power metal sextet Dragonforce formed in 1999 around the twin-guitar assault of Herman Li and Sam Totman, keyboard player Vadim Pruzhanov, and the powerful vocals of ZP Theart; drummer David Mackintosh and bass player Adrian Lambert joined the lineup later. Dragonforce had already toured with the likes of Halford and Stratovarius before the release of their debut, 2003's Valley of the Damned. The success of that record earned the melodic rockers a worldwide audience, resulting in a string of sold-out concerts in Asia and Europe. The group's sophomore effort, Sonic Firestorm, was released in 2004, followed by Inhuman Rampage in 2006 and Ultra Beatdown in 2008. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
Awesome band.
My favorite songs are:
Through The Fire and Flames

SAfrica: officials suspended over wedding scandal
JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Five South African officials, including police and military commanders, have been suspended after a chartered plane carrying about 200 guests from India to a lavish family wedding was allowed to land at a South African air force base, the government said Friday.
The scandal, in which the passengers allegedly bypassed customs procedures on their way to a gaudy entertainment complex, has angered many South Africans who see the episode as a case of cronyism linking big business and the highest levels of government in a country where corruption is a growing problem.
The government sought to stem public outrage over the incident, launching an investigation into how the Airbus A330 was given permission to land Tuesday at the Waterkloof Air Force Base and ordering it to fly on Thursday to a civilian international airport in Johannesburg. The wedding festivities wrapped up on Friday.
The guests attended the wedding of Vega Gupta, whose Indian immigrant family has powerful business interests in South Africa, and groom Aakash Jahajgarhia in an extravaganza spanning several days at Sun City, a leisure center northwest of Johannesburg. Some South African current and former officials also attended.
Justice Minister Jeff Radebe said the suspended officials included two brigadier generals at the air force base and the head of state protocol, Bruce Koloane.
He said the government is "gravely concerned at this violation of the security protocol and total disregard of established practice for clearing the landing of aircraft in a military facility that is of strategic importance to the country."
Radebe added: "Our particular concern is that the aircraft was carrying international passengers who do not fit the category of government officials or VIPs on official duty"
According to authorities, two police officers and a reservist were also arrested for working for a private security company that provided escort vehicles — black BMWs equipped with illegal emergency lights and false registrations — during the wedding guests' transfer from the military base to Sun City. Authorities were also investigating the alleged use of marked police vehicles in the incident, Radebe said.
The Democratic Alliance, an opposition political party, said in a statement that parliament should open an investigation and alleged that the government's reaction was as an attempt to protect President Jacob Zuma and Cabinet ministers from the "political fallout" of the scandal by targeting lower-ranking officials. South African media reports said a son and a nephew of Zuma were among the guests at the lavish wedding.
SABC, South Africa's state broadcaster, quoted Virendra Gupta, India's high commissioner, as saying permission for the plane to land at the base had been requested because of security concerns for VIPs and "senior political figures from India" on the flight.
The South African government, however, said it did not have a record of notification from the Indian High Commission. Instead, it said, India's defense attache in South Africa requested clearance from the air force, which consulted the office of state protocol without informing the military chief.
SABC quoted businessman Atul Gupta as saying Gupta investments have brought jobs to South Africa and boosted tourism since the family began operating in the country in the 1990s. Atul Gupta is chairman of the family-owned TNA media group. The family is also involved in technology and other interests.
Photographs of the wedding ceremony showed the couple of traditional Indian attire as they floated on a platform across a pool at the Palace of the Lost City, one of Sun City's deluxe locations. The bride was also photographed joining the groom after stepping out of a sculpture of a giant lotus flower.
While many South African newspapers focused on the scandal, the Gupta-owned The New Age newspaper carried a front-page headline on the event: "A union of elegance and tradition."

Encountering Andrew Huang (黃學正) is like meeting a kung-fu master. Only this master's uncontested prowess is of a gastronomic kind, manifested through his creative compositions that are the exuberant synthesis of distinctive flavors and aromas. And instead of setting up a school to procure fame and disciples, the martial artist chooses to live among us, in an unostentatious residential neighborhood near Taipei's Xingtian Temple (行天宮).
Huang's Dolce & Crepes is literally in his home, with his two elementary school-aged daughters often seen doing homework on a round table in the living room that doubles as the dining area, where patrons eagerly await the feast they ordered from the menu scribbled on the wall.
It is under this domestic veneer that Huang works his magic. Using nothing more than the usual pots and pans, he produces dishes of a culinary refinement on a par with that of Taipei's top fine dining establishments.
Patrons are given full attention upon entering the simply decorated room. Huang takes the time to give a detailed explanation of how the food is prepared and cooked and to suggest wine and drinks to accompany the meal. The owner and chef seems to have a natural ability to describe the nuance of flavors and his luscious combinations of ingredients in a very vivid way, luring diners into an epicurean fantasy that preludes the banquet to come.
Huang's menu contains only around a dozen dishes, but each is hard to resist. The chocolate duck leg confit (油封鴨腿, NT$380), for example, consists of lean meat cooked to tender perfection and seasoned in an appetizing vinegar-based sauce, while the aroma of cocoa delivers an exciting punch to the meat. Huang says the duck leg is marinated and roasted in extra-virgin olive oil instead of duck or goose oil so as to give the French specialty a fruity and less cloying flavor.
Address: 31, Ln 330 Songjiang Rd, Taipei City (台北市松江路330巷31號)
Telephone: (0910) 202-340
Open: Business hours are subject to change. The restaurant's Facebook page says it's open from 2:30pm to 8:30pm on Sundays, and 9:30am to 8:30pm on other days of the week, but it is better to call for a confirmation before going. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays
Average meal: NT$1,000, plus 10% service charge
Details: Menu in Chinese, credit cards not accepted
The lamb shoulder stewed with figs and apricots (無花果杏桃燉羊肩, NT$680) is another delicate composition which sees the divine match of fresh figs and succulent lamb exploding in the mouth, smoothened by the sweetness of apricots and sauteed vegetables.
The Chinese culinary influences also have a strong presence on Huang's menu. The Sichuan-style spicy chicken (川麻口水雞, NT$580) and king oyster mushroom (川麻杏鮑菇, NT$580) use various types of Sichuan pepper to create an enticing, tongue-numbing sensation, and the homemade pepper oil and sauce taste so good that it is almost a crime not to lick the bowl clean.
For seafood lovers, Huang's popular plate of crabs with deep-fried garlic chips (NT$2,000 or NT$1,000 depending on the types of crab) is definitely a high point of a visit to Dolce & Crepes. Though we weren't there during crab season, the crustaceans Huang picked for my dining companions and me last month were satisfactorily plump and sweet, buried under the savory layers of garlic chips and doushi (豆鼓), or fermented black soybean, that are fried using olive oil till they are crispy.
Vegetarians are also in for a surprise. Fun to look at and pleasant to taste, the roasted balloon with mushroom juice (菌汁烤氣球, NT$220) is a specially sauced bean curd that puffs up when roasted and contracts after cooling down. The end result is a large piece of bean curd that is firm on the outside but retains a fine, soft texture on the inside.
Affable and well-informed, Huang appears to be a versatile master with hidden talents and skills. Those interested in renewable energy may want to raise related topics with their host. Huang is also the chief executive of Advanced Power and Energy Transportation, a company that's developing a green car running on zinc-oxygen energy fuel cells.

So this is basically how my Louise Brooks outfit turned out.
Unfortunately, I didn't get the best of photos.
I wore this 1920's wool swimsuit and silver mary janes and painted myself to look like I was in black and white, but most people thought I was just dead or a zombie.
The Pressman was a director, but everyone thought he was Max Fisher from Rushmore.
Oh, and this sweater made a great addition to the outfit later on.

Rachel McAdams, actress, was claimed by the media as "the next Julia Roberts" and she received a BAFTA nomination for Best Rising Star. Still she reminds me of Jennifer Garner and Hillary Swank. She starred in the 2002 comedy The Hot Chick. McAdams found fame in 2004 with starring roles in the teen comedy "Mean Girls" and the romantic drama "The Notebook." She has starred in many other films. I am glad to submit this tutorial to you. I hope you have learned something from "How to Draw Rachel McAdams." Go ahead, don't be shy--vote, comment, and fav. Thank you all for your support. Much hugs and love to you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXGyKVDj37 Everyone who's played a Tomb Raider game knows that Lara Croft's pistols are her most iconic and trusty weapons. Always filled with ammo, always ready to mow down the rabid wolves, Yeti and human thugs who get in her way.
But the new Tomb Raider reboot doesn't start players off with guns. Instead, your first weapon is a bow, scavenged off of a dead body along with a quiver full arrows. I've always been fascinated by how the bow and arrow speaks to something primal, to a time when ingenuity, accuracy and steely patience meant your family would eat tonight. So, when Square Enix announced that they'd be setting up an archery gallery at New York Comic-Con, I jumped at the chance to get my hands on one of mankind's earliest weapons. You can see how I did in the video above. I'm not exactly lethal with the bow, but maybe I could keep some really cowardly bad guys away.

Staff Reading Pick
Here is another reading pick from the Logan Library Staff.
Book: Stars and swastikas : the boy who wore two uniforms by Walter Schröder
Recommended by: Barbara, Library Technical Assistant
Walter Schröder's parents came to the US after WWII. Walter was born in the US and lived in New York until he was seven, when his parents moved back to Germany. At school he had to become part of the Hitler Youth and when he was 15 he was drafted and sent to man Antiaircraft guns. He was captured and soon it was realized that he spoke "Yank" and was used as a translator. When it was found out that he was a US citizen he was drafted into the US Army. What is interesting about the book is that it isn't an everyday WWII memoir, but a great description of life during the Nazi Era and early cold war years. Walter ended up working for the U.S. Defense Department for almost thirty years and was awarded the "Navy Superior Service Medal & Citation" for his contributions.

Accounting Research December, 1943 No. 21 BULLETINS • Issued by the Committee on Accounting Procedure, American Institute of Accountants, 13 East 41 st Street, New York 17, N. Y. Renegotiation of War Contracts (Supplement) Copyright 1943 by American Institute of Accountants THIS bulletin supplements Accounting Research Bulletin No. 15 issued in September, 1942, and deals further with the financial statements of contractors and subcontractors who are affected by the provisions of the War Profits Control Act (Section 403 of Public Law 528, 77th Congress, as amended). (1) Since renegotiation proceedings have now been conducted over a considerable period of time, it is to be expected that many companies, particularly those which have completed renegotiation proceedings for a prior year, will be in a position to make reasonable provision for renegotiation refunds in their current financial state-ments, in accordance with the long recognized accounting principle that provision should be made in financial statements for all liabili-ties that can be reasonably estimated. (2) Where such provision is made, there should be disclosure in the financial statements, by footnote or otherwise, of the basis upon which it is made. It is recognized that by reason of changed condi-tions, a settlement made in the preceding year may not, in some cases, be indicative of the amount refundable in respect of the cur-rent year, and the provision made should take account of this pos-sibility. If, however, the provision is materially less than the amount which would be indicated on the basis of a prior year's settlement, the reasons therefor and the approximate effect of the difference upon the net income were a refund required on the same basis for the current year, should be stated, except as hereinafter provided. (3) Where a provision is not made, a statement to that effect should be set forth in a footnote, together with appropriate dis-closure of the reasons therefor and of the company's renegotiation status. If a settlement has been effected for a prior year, such dis-closure should, except as hereinafter provided, include a statement of the approximate effect upon the net income were a refund re-quired on the same basis for the current year. (4) The information required under paragraphs (2) and (3) SUMMARY STATEMENT 171

RNC threatens to boycott NBC, CNN over Clinton documentaries
The Republican National Committee won't partner with NBC or CNN on 2016 presidential debates, chairman Reince Priebus warned in letters sent to the two TV networks Monday, unless they agree to pull the plug on recently announced documentary programs about former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Last month, NBC said it would air a four-hour miniseries about the former first lady and top-seeded contender for the Democratic nomination titled, "Hillary;" days later, CNN Films announced its intent to produce a documentary about her. In separate letters to NBC Chairman Robert Greenblatt and CNN President Jeff Zucker, Priebus called each documentary a "thinly veiled attempt at putting a thumb on the scales of the 2016 presidential election."
"This special treatment is unfair to the candidates for the Democratic nomination in 2016 who might compete against Secretary Clinton," Priebus wrote in the letters, specifically naming Vice President Joe Biden, Govs. Martin O'Malley, Andrew Cuomo and John Hickenlooper, and Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar. "Should Clinton compete in the general election," he continued, their programs could also disadvantage the GOP nominee.
"It's appalling to know executives at major networks like NBC and CNN who have donated to Democrats and Hillary Clinton have taken it upon themselves to be Hillary Clinton's campaign operatives," Priebus said in a statement. "I hope Americans will question the credibility of these networks and that NBC and CNN will reconsider their partisan actions and cancel these political ads masked as unbiased entertainment."
Priebus also pointed out the hoopla among Democrats in 2008, when the conservative group Citizens United planned to air a pay-per-view documentary about Clinton on election eve. "And yet they're conspicuously silent now that a major news network will launch a documentary of its own. They must trust that you're doing her a favor," he wrote.
The chairman is seeking a quick turnaround, imposing a nine-day deadline for the networks to decide: "If they have not agreed to pull this programming prior to the start of the RNC's Summer Meeting on August 14," he wrote in the statement, "I will seek a binding vote stating that the RNC will neither partner with these networks in 2016 primary debates nor sanction primary debates they sponsor."
No word yet from NBC or CNN, but mouthpieces from both sides have already started to rally.
A.J. Spiker and Matt Moore, the GOP chairmen for early primary states Iowa and South Carolina, respectively, took to Twitter to announce their backing of Priebus's threat to boycott the networks. And David Plouffe, a former top adviser to President Obama, wrote on the social media site: "Better RNC debate plan. Held in hermetically sealed Fox studio. Avoid exposing swing voters to Crazy S*#t My Nominee Says."

Lauren Urke tallied the game-winning goal against Colgate at 66:35 (Gil Talbot).
HAMILTON, N.Y. – After trailing 1-0 at halftime, Aisha Price, Lauren Urke and Meg Casscells-Hamby each scored goals in the second half to propel the Harvard women's soccer team to a 3-1 victory over Colgate Sunday afternoon.
Bethany Kanten recorded five saves in net for Harvard, which improves to 2-1-1 overall, while the Raiders slip to 5-3-1.
Colgate nearly grabbed an early lead at 21:53, but Catherine Williams's chance from 12 yards out rang off the right post and out of danger. Late in the first, Williams sent a cross into the box, and Jillian Kinter jumped and headed the ball past Kanten and into the right side of the net, making it 1-0 at 40:46.
In the second, Harvard earned back-to-back corners and capitalized on the second chance, as Peyton Johnson sent in a kick, and Price directed the ball with her head for a tally, evening the score, 1-1, at 49:49.
In the 59th minute, Kanten made a point blank save against Caroline Brawner at 58:06, keeping the game knotted.
The Crimson went ahead, 2-1, when Elizabeth Weisman slowed down on a breakaway and slipped a pass to Urke. Urke fired a shot from 12 yards out at 66:35. Harvard extended its lead to 3-1 in the 75th minute, as Casscells-Hamby moved in alone toward the Colgate box and fired for a goal from just inside 18 yards out at 74:11.
Harvard earned its second win of the season, despite Colgate holding an edge in shots, 13-12, and corner kicks, 9-3. Ashley Walsh turned aside three shots in net for the Raiders.
The Crimson remains on the road and will visit Quinnipiac Wednesday at 4 p.m. Harvard will then host No. 6 Boston College Saturday, Sept. 15 at 7 p.m.

Liberty News
Alumnus helps launch Orlando alumni chapter, continues donations
|Liberty alumni sign in at the Orlando Alumni Chapter launch last weekend.
In an effort to establish 50 alumni chapters nationwide and globally, the Liberty University Alumni Relations office launched its most recent chapter in Orlando, Fla., on May 16. Over 100 Central Florida alumni gathered at the Country Club of Orlando for LU's largest chapter launch to date. The reception featured LU alumnus Greg Clendenin, who encouraged other alumni to stay connected and carry on the university's mission.
"As an alumni chapter, we can enjoy the fellowship and the network and we can support the future of LU through prayer and by being ambassadors of LU wherever we go," Clendenin said. "LU had a huge influence in my life. Without the education and experiences I had at LU, a lot of things would not have happened that happened in my life in the past 35 years and that continue to happen in my life."
Since graduating in 1975, Clendenin has been a consistent supporter of his alma mater. On May 14, Liberty Athletics honored him and his wife Dottie for their contributions to LU's baseball program by naming the locker room inside the Crowder/Muckel Fieldhouse the Greg and Dottie Clendenin Locker Room. Clendenin, who retired from owning and operating Florida's largest private pest-control company, also gave $100,000 for lights to be installed at LU's Worthington Stadium in 2008. He also made the construction of Liberty's Towns-Alumni Lecture Hall a reality with his generous gift of $200,000.

It survived the Depression, a bomber crash and King Kong�s climb, but can the Empire State Building withstand a bedbug infestation?
Officials say exterminators had to clean out an employee changing room in the tower�s basement after bedbugs were found there last week.
The officials tell The New York Daily News that an employee had the bedbugs on his clothes and brought them into the building, but that the problem is now under control.
Tourists visiting the skyscraper say they are disgusted by the bloodsucking pests.
Bedbugs have been discovered recently in New York City theaters, clothing stores, office buildings, housing projects and posh apartments.
The city fielded 11,000 complaints about bedbugs last year.

Castles in the Brecon Beacons National Park
- Carreg Cennen Castle
- Crickhowell Castle © Philip Pankhurst
- Llandovery Castle
- Tretower Castle
Wales is home to some of Europe's finest surviving medieval castles. Here in the Brecon Beacons, we have our fair share.
Perhaps the most dreamy and dramatic of all are the weathered remains of Carreg Cennen Castle, perched high up on a limestone crag.
As our National Park is situated close to the border between Wales and England, many a territorial struggle has taken place on our doorstep. Magnificent ruins such as those at Brecon, Crickhowell, Llandovery and Tretower bear witness to a turbulent past, while grand mansions such as Cyfarthfa Castle, Newton House at Dinefwr and Tretower Court remind us that castles were once mighty symbols of power and wealth.
Most of our ruins stand in parkland that's open to the public, while our more intact castles and mansions are cared for by Cadw and the National Trust. They all make exciting and inspiring days out.

The Accounting Historians Journal Vol. 19, No. 2 December 1992
Dale Buckmaster UNIVERSITY OF DELAWARE
Abstract: The origin of income smoothing in literature has been at-tributed to different authors in recent years. However, the attribu-tions have been made based on research using a simple analysis of the term "income smoothing". This study considers the modern con-cept of income smoothing rather than simply the term itself. Using this approach, income smoothing is either explicitly or implicitly rec-ognized and discussed in literature long before the aforementioned authors. A lack of awareness has been the primary reason for modern income smoothing research overlooking the earlier literature on the subject. This awareness can be ascribed to weak citation analysis. Therefore, researchers should be more cautious in how they use cita-tion analysis.
Several authors in recent years have made explicit refer-ences to the origin of income smoothing in literature. Cushing [1969], Dascher and Malcom [1970], and Imhoff [1981] made statements that Gordon, Horwitz and Meyers [1966] were the authors of the first empirical study of income smoothing. Imhoff [1981] also identified Hepworth's article [1954] as being the first theoretical discussion of income smoothing. Archibald [1967], Ronen, Sadan and Snow [1977], Eckel [1981], Gamble and O'Doherty [1985], and Dharan [1987] attribute the origin of the recognition of income smoothing to Hepworth [1953], and White [1970] attributes the smoothing hypothesis to Gordon [1964]. None of these attributions are correct if the concept of income smoothing rather than the term, income smoothing, is considered. Modern authors generally take the broad-based, flexible view that income smoothing is management action
Research support was provided, in part, by the KPMG Peat Marwick Fac-ulty Development Fund, University of Delaware. The author wishes to thank Richard Vangermeersch, Scott Jones, R.H.K. Carstens, and two anonymous ref-erees for their valuable comments.

The Canadian Soccer Association announced on Wednesday that seven Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency players have been called up to Canada's men's U-18 national team for the upcoming 2013 COTIF U-20 Tournament set to take place from August 11 to 21 in l'Alcúdia, Spain.
Named to the 20-man roster are goalkeeper Nolan Wirth; defenders Sam Adekugbe, Quinton Duncan, and Jackson Farmer; midfielders Kianz Froese and Mitch Piraux; and striker Brody Huitema.
Huitema and Wirth are both former members of the BC Soccer Provincial Development program and the National Training Centre.
U-18 head coach Rob Gale will lead his side into the tournament in Spain where the young Canadians will come up against Japan, Argentina, Bulgaria and Belarus during the group stage.
"This high level of competition is going to be ideal for our boys," said Gale ahead of the team's depature for Europe.
"The overarching goal here is preparing this group of players for the next cycle of FIFA U-20 World Cup Qualifiers and this is the type of opposition we need to prove we can compete against."
As has been a continuing theme for Canada's youth program under the stewardship of technical director Tony Fonseca, Gale will ask his U-18s to continue to express themselves as creative footballers – even against some of the best youth sides in the world.
"We want to go into this tournament in a way that will continue to see us play the attacking brand of football we preach throughout our youth system," said Gale.
Gale has selected a diverse group of players with talent being brought in from clubs across five countries.
"What's promising is that there is an increasingly larger number of players playing day-in and day-out in professional environments," said Gale.
"We will continue to offer opportunities to the players that are challenging themselves by fighting for professional contracts.
Queens Park Rangers midfield duo Dylan Carreiro and Michael Petrasso, who both featured with Canada's U-20 team in earlier in 2013, have been named to the squad as they will again be eligible to feature in U-20 action in 2015.
Canadian defender Luca Gasparotto will also be eligible to join the U-20 team in 2015 – but he was not called in for the COTIF tournament as he continues to fight for a first-team place with Rangers FC in Scotland.

There is onboard decoding for nearly every major format in use today, including the latest high definition and lossless audio formats specified for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray disc formats. The unit features an oversized Toroidal transformer for the main power supply as well as separate transformers for the audio and video circuitry. Each channel also employs premium quality Burr Brown audio DAC's and Integra's VLSC (Vector Linear Shaping Circuitry) for dynamic, low-distortion reproduction at all output levels.
The Integra DTC-9.8 includes a comprehensive package of features specifically tailored to the needs of custom installers, including an Ethernet port for integration with network-based control systems such as AMX Device Discovery and Crestron E-Control. It also includes bi-directional RS-232, RIHD (Remote Interactive over HDMI) system control integration over HDMI, three programmable 12-volt triggers, dual IR inputs, and three unique assignable IR code sets. Lockable customized dealer settings can be independently stored for easy recall, making it simple for installers to maintain complex installations.
The DTC-9.8 boasts exceptional multizone capabilities, including fixed and variable line level outs with subwoofer for two additional zones. Zone 2 also includes both composite and HD-quality component video outputs, as well as independent tone controls. Zone 2 and Zone 3 both include balance controls as well as maximum and power-on volume settings.
For simplified setup, the DTC-9.8 includes Audyssey's acclaimed MultEQ XT room acoustics correction, the most powerful built-in solution available for countering room distortion in dedicated home theaters. This technology uses an included microphone to detect and configure speakers in the room, and then adjusts each channel's level, delay, and crossover settings to best suit the room's acoustics. By incorporating measurements at up to eight points in the listening room, Audyssey MultEQ provides both frequency response and time domain corrections throughout the entire listening area, rather than just at a single position. The DTC-9.8 is also Audyssey MultEQ Pro capable- allowing custom installers even more room calibration precision and flexibility.
The DTC-9.8 includes a high quality AM/FM radio tuner and built-in HD Radio reception capability. It is also the world's first "SAT Ready" preprocessor with connections for both XM and Sirius satellite radio. It includes onboard Neural THX processing for multi-channel surround programming on XM HD and other Neural THX sources. Finally, there are 40 presets for AM, FM, HD Radio, XM, or Sirius stations.
The Integra DTC-9.8 is now available from Integra dealers with a suggested retail price of $1,600.
