Dear Miss Snark,
As your blog is a great source of information giventruthfully, I'm hoping you can help me make sense of this incident.
At a recent writer's conference, I pitched a book to a very well known agent. Although the agent wasn't interested in it, she did request a partial of another book I'd written that had finaled in a large contest.
Later on, a friend of mine overheard this agent publicly ridiculing the first book I'd pitched her to a another group of writers (my friend knew this book was mine as she'd helped me brainstorm it and it's a fairly unique twist on an old story).
What on earth makes this agent think this behavior is acceptable? How would you react to this? My ire is up to say the least.
Well, my ire is up too. But not at the agent first. Why is your friend passing this along? This is akin to "I saw Killer Yapp licking George Clooney's face but you weren't there Miss Snark". Some things you just don't ever need to know.
But to your question: what the hell is wrong with someone who'll ridicule people behind their backs? The answer of course is that we live in the postlapsarian world, and we are all bitterly human.
Yes, of COURSE you have hurt feelings. Yes of COURSE it's grossly inappropriate to ridicule someone behind their back.
However, given that this blog is named Miss SNARK and I have a nitwit of the day, week and year, and I tell people they are scum sucking pigs for charging fees, AND I run a critique that's called CRAPometer, the only difference is that I do ridicule people openly and to their face. Here in New York, we sometimes call this "master class". We even write plays about it and have them produced on Broadway. Sometimes they're called Master Class, and sometimes they're called A Chorus Line, and a lot of times they're called "reviewed by Michiko Kakutani".
I'm sorry dear reader but in this case, after I bop your "friend" on the noggin, I have to say "suck it up" to you. Of course, I wouldn't send that agent the partial either, cause her sense of decorum is a bit skewed, but other than that, if this is the most humiliating thing that ever happens count yourself lucky.

THE BASICS: Senior Joseph Haboush scored the game-winning goal in the 75th minute to lift VCU to a 3-2 victory over Atlantic 10 foe Dayton in the Rams' home finale Sunday afternoon. Freshman Dennis Castillo and sophomore Kharlton Belmar also scored for VCU.
- VCU (10-2-4, 6-1-1) controlled play in the first half, firing three shots in the first seven minutes of the contest. Senior Juan Arbelaez took the game's first shot in the third minute but pushed his offering wide. Junior Jason Johnson had two shots in the fifth and seventh minutes, the first of which was saved by Dayton goalkeeper Chris Froschauer.
- Freshman Devon Fisher had a great look in the 12th minute but a Flyers defender was able to get in front of the ball and posted a team save to keep the Rams out of the net.
- Castillo gave VCU a 1-0 advantage in the 18th minute when the Rams were awarded a penalty kick following a foul inside the box. Castillo then beat Froschauer to put the Black and Gold ahead.
- VCU outshot Dayton (9-5-1, 3-3-1) 6-1 during the next 20 minutes until Belmar extended the Rams' lead with a score in the 38th minute. Mario Herrera Meraz found a cutting Belmar off a corner kick, who fired a shot off of a Dayton defender and into the upper right corner of the net for a 2-0 advantage.
- VCU junior goalkeeper Andrew Wells made his first save of the game on a shot from Andres Acevedo in the 56th minute. He made another stop on a strike from Daniel Berko in the 66th minute.
- Dayton eventually cut the defict in half in the 68th minute when Acevedo intercepted a clearing pass from the Rams' back line, drove through the box and finished in the right corner to make it 2-1.
- The Flyers continued to pressure and netted the equalizer two minutes later. Abe Keller sent a corner kick into the box, where Berko got his foot on the ball and found the top of the net to knot the game at 2-2.
- VCU regained the lead for good in the 75th minute when Haboush scored his second goal of the season. Herrera Meraz passed to Haboush at the top of the box, where he fired the ball into the right corner to put VCU back in front a 3-2.
- The Rams won their third straight match and pushed their unbeaten streak to five.
- Haboush's goal was his second of the season and his first game-winning tally of the year.
- Belmar added his fourth goal of the season and his second in as many games.
- Castillo's penalty kick was his fourth goal of the season. The San Jose, Costa Rica native is 2-for-2 on PKs this year.
- Herrera Meraz added two assists, good for his team-leading eighth of the season.
- Wells made four saves for the Rams, all in the second half.
- VCU honored its five seniors prior to the match: Haboush, Arbeleaz, Brad Seymour, Chris Maimone and Clark Hankins.
"I was proud of the guys today for a gutsy result against a very good Dayton team. After giving up the two goals, our guys made plays to get the goal and Joey [Haboush] came up big at the best time. That's a great belief builder for our team to know that we can bounce back in the face of adversity, no matter what is happening in the game, regardless of the opponent or conditions. Now we look forward to a big game Friday night against Richmond for the regular season title."
-VCU Head Coach Dave Giffard
The Rams conclude the regular season with a match at cross-town rival Richmond on Friday, Nov. 1 at 7 p.m.

Time Single Activities to Bill for Time in QuickBooks 2012
Timing or recording individual activities is one of two methods that QuickBooks 2012 supplies for tracking the time spent that will be billed on an invoice as an item. If you want to record service activities as they occur, choose the Customers→Enter Time→Time/Enter Single Activity command.
QuickBooks displays the Time/Enter Single Activity window.
To time or record a single activity, record the activity date into the Date box. Use the Name box to identify the person performing the service. In the Customer:Job box, identify the customer or the job for which the service is being performed.
Select the appropriate service item from the Service Item drop-down list and the appropriate payroll item from the Payroll Item drop-down list. If you're tracking classes, predictably, you can also use the Class drop-down list to classify the activity.
The Notes box should be used to record a brief appropriate description of the service. This description appears on the invoice, so be thoughtful about what you write.
After describing or providing this general information about the service, you have two ways to record the time spent on the service:
Manually record time: You can manually record the time spent on an activity by using the Duration box to enter the time. If you spent 10 minutes, for example, enter 0:10 into the Duration box. If you spent 3 hours and 40 minutes, enter 3:40 into the Duration box.
Have QuickBooks record the time: You can also have QuickBooks record the time that you spent on the activity. Just click the Start button in the Duration box when you start the activity, and click the Stop button when you stop the activity. If you want to pause the timer (while you take a phone call, for example) click the Pause button.
After you describe the activity you're performing in the Time/Enter Single Activity window, click the Save & New or Save & Close button to save the activity information.
Verify that the Billable check box is selected. The Billable check box appears in the upper-right corner of the Time/Enter Single Activity window. By selecting the Billable box, you tell QuickBooks that it should keep this record of a billable activity for later inclusion on an invoice.
You can use the Previous and Next buttons that appear at the top of the Time/Enter Single Activity window to page back and forth through your records of activity timing. Note, too, that the Spelling button is also available on the Time/Enter Single Activity window.
You can, therefore, click the Spelling button to spell check the notes description that you enter — which is a good idea because this information will later appear on an invoice.
QuickBooks also allows your employees to enter their time directly. Choose the Customers→Enter Time→Let Employees Enter Their Time command to get information about how this web service works.

This here's the music video for "Transfer" by Livetune, a Japanese pop group that makes use of the chirpy vocal stylings of virtual pop star Hatsune Miku (but relies on singer Megumi Nakajima for this particular song).
In this six-minute animation tornado by Fantasista Utamaro and Kubotabee, a pink-haired girl runs the same exact route through twenty-five or so different animated realities, each zanier than the last (see: the random samurai battlefield dimension).

Osama bin Laden's Death--How Will His Followers React?
The test now will now be whether bin Laden's death will lead to a decline in hostilities between his supporters and Western countries, or whether it could galvanize some of his followers.
[Black Star News Editorial]
Finally, after more than 10 years, Osama bin Laden has been killed by United States special forces inside Pakistan, President Barack Obama disclosed on Sunday night, adding that he had ordered the operation.
His capture or killing had eluded U.S. administrations since after 9/11 in the early part of George W. Bush's first term.
Bush vowed to capture or kill bin Laden; it remained a futile promise and became a quest and source of great frustration throughout his administration. Osama bin Laden featured prominently during the 2008 campaign, with Senator John McCain famously vowing that he would climb into every cave in remote parts of Afghanistan until he found bin Laden.
The test now will now be whether bin Laden's death will lead to a decline in attacks against Western targets by his supporters, and less hostilities. or whether it could galvanize some of his followers. It's also unclear whether, and to what extent, bin Laden had been protected by the Pakistani political and military establishment--and whether there might be a backlash between those who harbored him within Pakistan, and those who joined the U.S. in the operation leading to his death.
The U.S. had for long complained that Pakistan was not doing enough in fighting al-Qaeda, especially on its common border with Afghanistan. U.S. officials even accused Pakistan of protecting bin Laden.
Something also worth watching is the impact on al-Qaeda supporters in eastern Libya. Theyare currently allied with the Benghazi insurrectionists, France, the U.K., and the U.S. in the war against Muammar al-Quathafi.
Will the al-Qaeda elements continue their alliance with the Western-backed Benghazi forces?
It remains to be seen.

After recently cooking Mexican food for the first time from The Tortilla Book, I was excited to try this month's "Cinco di Mayo" inspired Daring Cooks Challenge.
Barbara of Barbara Bakes and Bunnee of Anna+Food chose a delicious Stacked Green Chile & Grilled Chicken Enchilada recipe in honour of Cinco de Mayo. The recipe, featuring a homemade enchilada sauce, was found on Fine Cooking and written by Robb Walsh.
Stacked Green Chile & Grilled Chicken Enchiladas with Green Chile Sauce
serves four
For Green Chile Sauce:
1½ lb. fresh Anaheim or poblano chiles (about eight 6 to 8 inch chiles)
Vegetable oil
8 oz. tomatillos (about 4-5 medium), stems removed
4 c. chicken broth
1 tbsp minced shallots
1 tsp dried oregano
1 clove garlic, minced
½ tsp kosher salt (add more to taste)
¼ tsp black pepper (add more to taste)
2 tbsp cornstarch, dissolved in 2 tbsp water
Dash hot sauce, your favorite, optional
For enchiladas:
5 or 6 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
3 tbsp olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper
12 small corn tortillas, 5-6 inch diameter
6 oz grated Monterey Jack cheese
Cilantro for garnish, chopped and sprinkled (optional)
Green Chile Sauce
yields about 4 c.
1. Coat each chile with a little vegetable oil. Lay the oiled chiles on the grill or lined baking sheet. Place the grill or broil close to the element, turning the chiles so they char evenly. They should be black and blistered. As they char, remove them to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them rest until they are cool.
Spraying the foil with non-stick spray prevents the peppers from sticking
3. Put a medium saucepan of water on to boil and remove the papery outer skin from the tomatillos. Boil the tomatillos until soft, 5 to 10 minutes. You can also grill the tomatillos until soft.*
*I grilled the tomatillos and the chicken for the enchiladas at the same time that the chiles were roasting in the oven. Multitasking at its best!
4. Cool tomatillos and puree in a blender or food processor. Put the pureed tomatillos in a medium saucepan along with the chicken broth, chopped green chiles, minced shallots, oregano, garlic, salt and pepper.
5. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Add the cornstarch/water mixture and stir well. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is thickened and reduced to 4-5 cups, another 10-15 minutes.
6. Adjust seasonings and add hot sauce if you want a little more heat.
Stacked Green Chile and Grilled Chicken Enchiladas
1. Heat a gas grill to medium high or build a medium-hot charcoal. Coat the chicken with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
2. Grill the chicken until just cooked through. Cool and then slice into thin strips or shred.
3. In a small skillet, heat 3 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until very hot. Dip the edge of a tortilla into the oil to check – it should sizzle immediately.
4. Using tongs, put a tortilla into the pan and cook until soft and lightly brown on each side, about 15-20 seconds per side (at the most). Drain on paper towels. Add oil as needed and continue until all 12 tortillas are done.
6. Divide half the chicken among the first layer of tortillas, top with another ½ cup of sauce and 1/3 of the grated cheese. Stack another four tortillas, top with the rest of the chicken, more sauce and another third of the cheese. Finish with the third tortilla, topped with the remaining sauce and cheese.
7. Bake until the sauce has thickened and the cheese melted, about 20 minutes. Let rest for 5-10 minutes.

|Taliban attack at Lakki Marwat checkpost claims 24 lives
|[Dawn] Suicide bombers attacked a military checkpost in Pakistan's troubled northwest on Saturday, killing 13 soldiers and 11 civilians, officials said, in an assault claimed by the Taliban.
"Thirteen security personnel and 11 civilians were killed in the attack," a security official said of the raid which happened around 240 kilometres south of Peshawar, the capital of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
Another official said that the civilians were killed when one of the suicide bombers ran into a house as security forces attempted to repel the attackers from the checkpost.
"A suicide bomber entered a nearby house in a residential colony of the irrigation department and blew himself up. Four children, three women and four men were killed there," said Nisar Ahmed, a senior government official.
He said four houses were also damaged in the attack.
"The explosion damaged four houses in the colony. Civilians who were killed in the attack were residents of these houses," he said.
The security official said that eight soldiers were injured also.
The attack was on a joint checkpost of the Pakistan army and a paramilitary force in the Serai Naurang area of Lakki Marwat district.
Another security official in Peshawar said security forces killed 12 militants.
The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) claimed the attack but disputed 12 militants were killed, saying they had sent only four suicide bombers.
"We sent only four suicide bombers to attack this checkpost. We attacked it to avenge the killing of two of our friends in a recent drone strike," said Ehsanullah Ehsan, a spokesman for the TTP.
Ehsan added that the attack was in revenge of Pakistan's "assistance to the US for drone strikes."

Hello folks....
What a month....its just flown by. Its been such a long time since I posted that I nearly didn't, but the lovely Kajsa encouraged me to so I will start with small steps again. So we are in and settled and the gallery is open. Here are just a few photos from the gallery and studio. We are really happy here. I have been made to feel very welcome so far by the community. The local people are just so friendly, it is a very special place. The response has been slightly overwhelming. It is lovely to have people point to their houses in the paintings. The opening was exhausting but so much fun. The town hosted a Victorian evening with Ice rink, snow machines and roasted chestnuts, I slightly overdid it with the mulled wine (first of the season) but hey ho I thought I deserved it.
I'd just like to point out my lovely Mum made the stars for the window which are also for sale, they are great for on the tree, I will try my best to get a better photo of them for you.
I am finding it a little hard to paint and be on show and chat but I'm sure I can get used to it. I had a film crew in from S4C yesterday filming me paint so I had to brush up on my Welsh speaking skills. I studied Welsh in school but that was 13 years ago so I may just go to a local class for a refresher.
So, hwyl i ti a diolch yn fawr iawn i'r pobl o Biwmaris. xx

"Michel Banabila, born 1961, is a sound artist, composer, and producer. Banabila releases music since 1983 and has produced musical scores for numerous films, documentaries, theatre plays and choreographies. He worked / performed in The Netherlands, Poland, Lebanon, UK, South Africa, Russia, Japan, Spain, China, USA and Belgium. Banabila is especially keen on mixing disciplines and music styles, using elements and influences from jazz, electronic music, classical and world music. Therefore there is no particular genre to categorize Banabila's music. In addition to acoustic instrumentation, Banabila uses electronics, field recordings, and snippets from radio, tv and internet. He collaborated with different types of artists like Anton Goudsmit, Erkan Oğur, Hanyo van Oosterom, Holger Czukay, Joshua Samson, Machinefabriek, Mete Erker, Oene van Geel, Radboud Mens, Salar Asid, Sandhya Sanjana, Scanner, Yaşar Saka , Eric Vloeimans, and Zenial, among others.
Besides making albums and musical scores, Banabila works with theatre, dance and visual art on more conceptual artistic projects. He builds a database with samples; uses the city environment as a recording studio, collects fragments of spoken texts, which he composes into soundscapes, audio/visual installations and performances. Using recordings of speech in several languages Banabila experiments with the tonality of words and the "sound system" of languages. Banabila worked on various projects with video artists Geert Mul, Olga Mink, and photographer Gerco de Ruijter. With Geert Mul he has an audiovisual set, Big Data Poetry, which they performed live in venues like The Barbican (London) during the Logan Symposium 2014, Yukunkun (Beirut) during the Global Week For Syria 2014, and TENT (Rotterdam) during Sound Spectrums 2012. With Olga Mink he performed at the LUX Festival (Sevilla), the VAD Festival (Girona) and the State Of The Image Festival (Arnhem) in 2006. For Gerco de Ruijter he did sound design for several stop-frame animations, like the critically acclaimed Crops, shown in the Hirhshorn Museum (2013 / Washington DC) and Ringdijk at Panorama Mesdag (2016 / The Hague)"-Michel Banabila Website (http://www.banabila.com/biography)

sample the album:
"After their collabs on 'Music for viola and electronics', (2014) Michel Banabila and Oene van Geel decided to continue their recording sessions, again combining viola with electronics. This time they invited Eric Vloeimans on trumpet, Keimpe de Jong on contrabas clarinet, Joost Kroon on drums, Emile Visser on cello and Radboud Mens for Ableton programming. Emile plays in Zapp String Quartet with Oene, Eric performed live with Oene and The Nordenians, Eric and Michel worked before on their award winning album VoizNoiz 3, Keimpe and Michel performed together in a theatre play, Radboud and Michel worked on ZoomWorld and many other projects together. The artwork is again by photographer Gerco de Ruijter."-Tapu RecordsQuotes, reviews:
Michel Banabila's and Oene van Geel's Music for viola and electronics I & II is wonderfully immersive, expansive, and intimate. If there's one word that comes to mind, over and over it's cinematic. The listener is swept up in a storyline that's played out by two superb actors, in this instance, Oene von Geel's viola and Banabila's electronic counterpoint of mood and temperament. The overall result is a sonic dance that fills the space and the heart. Let's encourage these two superb musicians keep collaborating. Highly recommended for headphones. Five stars. (Don Hill)
After they met when working together on Cloud Ensemble, Michel Banabila and Oene van Geel extended their collaboration which resulted in 2014's "Music for Viola and Electronics".
Both were so very enthusiastic about the new musical world that they had opened up, that they kept working on "Music for Viola and Electronics II", which is released this month. Judging by the (strikingly beautiful!) aerial landscape photography of Gerco de Ruijer on the cover, their collaboration will probably not end here: the crop of the (geometric) landscape on the Volume I cover photo is only partially harvested - by hand, line by line... a difficult, strenuous, but most rewarding work. Even for those that follow Banabila's work throughout the years, "Music for Viola and Electronics" is a bit hard to classify, because it's different from most of what he did before. At least, it seems that way: according to Michel himself, it's simply a next step - the logical consequence of everything he has done in the past.
The combination of Michel's modular Doepfer electronics with the warm natural sounds of Oene's viola opens up completely new perspectives. In some way, it is easier to say what this music is nót, than to describe what it ís. It cértainly is a roller coaster of emotions and dynamics, which probably is demonstrated best at the beginning of Volume I: after opening with the carefully restrained, almosts zen-like "Sinus en Snaar", complete turmoil kicks in with the aptly named "Dondergod" ("Thunder God"). It's probably best to put on safety belts before you play this on high volume! "Music for Viola and Electronics II" builds further on the same concepts as the first volume. Some extra musical guests are introduced on several tracks: Keimpe de Jong (contrabass clarinet), Joost Kroon (drums and metals), Emile Visser (cello), and Eric Vloeimans (trumpet). There are some distinct references to somewhat less 'experimental' musical territories. For instance, "Kino Mikro" and "Vleugels" both have a rather cinematic arrangement (the latter taking a surprising turn midway with frantic drumming backed by a string section that sounds like a metal band - a surprising moodswitch effectively breaking the constraints of minimalism). Unlike many other albums that choose to focus on one particular atmosphere, these albums are more like a kaleidoscope of fragmented emotions. This may be a bit confusing at first listen, but it proves to be very rewarding if you carry through and keep listening ! (Peter van Cooten)
UTILITY FOG (FBI Radio):
Music for viola and electronics II follows the same sonic path as part 1 but adds further instrumentation: bass clarinet, cello, trumpet, drums. It's not all experimental modular electronics & extended techniques, but nor is it all lush world beats & string melodies - it strikes a nice balance. They've both stayed on my virtual turntable a lot recently. (Peter Hollo)
In the last six months they worked on new music, again using their set-up of electronics, which is for Banabila a doepfer A-100 analog modular system, radio, logic pro and keyboards (the latter on all tracks) and Van Geel plays viola and 5 string violin. I was highly surprised by their release, and obviously the second release is not the similar surprise (it could be, of course, but it just isn't) but it further explores the nature of violin playing and electronics. 'Chaos' comes close to the world of free jazz, with some wild electronics too and a fine orchestral ending. In the longest piece, 'Hephaestus', that also is the opening they set the compass to all things drone like and atmospheric, along with the modular synth cracking up like rainfall and some sparse drumming, making it all a very intense piece. A top-class release of some highly exciting electronic music meeting classical instruments. (FdW)

News of Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones' planned midseason departure from "Parks and Recreation" marks, as Lowe's hyperbole-prone Chris Traeger character might put it, literally the biggest blow yet to an often-underappreciated gem of a show.
Then again, the endlessly enthusiastic Chris would embrace the prospect of plunging into the unknown, even if the prescription for TV success doesn't include his penchant for megavitamins and constant exercise. The upheaval to life in Pawnee, Ind., comes amid a spate of changes set this fall for established programs faced with the challenge of making the show go on.
Chevy Chase appears done with the resilient "Community," while Donald Glover's burgeoning career will relegate him to part-time status this season. Angus T. Jones, the "Half" on "Two and a Half Men," won't be around much anymore on the long-running sitcom, which already survived Charlie Sheen's 2011 implosion.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"Saturday Night Live" begins its 39th season without Fred Armisen, Bill Hader and Jason Sudeikis. Seth Meyers is set to leave midseason to replace Jimmy Fallon, who is replacing "Tonight Show" host Jay Leno, a battle-worn veteran of TV shakeups.
On the drama front, Dan Stevens has exited "Downton Abbey" and Cote de Pablo is saying goodbye to "NCIS" after eight seasons. "Glee," sadly, can never be the same after the tragic death of Cory Monteith.
There is, of course, precedent for shows thriving after the departure of major characters, with "Cheers" and "MASH" leading the comedy pack. More recently, "The Office" rebounded from a shaky period after Steve Carell left near the end of the Season 7, finishing strong in its ninth and last outing. Dramas seem to weather change better than sitcoms, whether in realistic shows ("ER," "Law & Order") or campy soaps ("Dallas," where a shower washed away a season).
The shows that successfully forge ahead are tied by strong writing and quality ensemble casts, even if creating new chemistry is far from an exact science. Still, some programs just don't know when to quit, post-major departures, most notably "All in the Family" and "Happy Days," which floundered after Fonzie jumped the shark.
Jumping a shark sounds like a dare Chris Traeger would relish. But we're not too worried about "Parks and Recreation," which is coming off its fifth and best season, striking its most winning quirk-to-substance ratio.
Still, Lowe and Jones will be missed. Lowe's Traeger rivaled Nick Offerman's mustachioed meat lover Ron Swanson as the show's most meme-friendly breakout character, thanks to his constant use (and misuse) of "literally" ("It has literally been a world class pleasure," Lowe tweeted after news of his impending departure broke). Jones brought humor and vulnerability to Ann Perkins, the grounded, if lovelorn, best friend/straight woman to Amy Poehler's pie-in-sky-reaching Leslie Knope (March 14 always be "Ann Day" on Leslie's calendar, where seemingly everyday is a holiday).
The on-and-off Chris-and-Ann relationship, presumably, will play a key role in the episodes leading up to their farewell. In the meantime, check out one fan's supercut of Chris employing his favorite L-word:

Programme Description
Your goal isn't simply to be an accountant; it's to be an accountable leader in a business environment. You realize more than ever that investors and boards of directors are demanding that businesses perform ethically as well as profitably. Your personal sense of responsibility to your employer and to society drives you to examine the breadth and depth of an organisation's finances to ensure that it meets - if not exceeds - the highest standards.
The Master of Accountancy (MAcc) program at Duquesne University's John F. Donahue Graduate School of Business is a full-time, 30-credit course of study. The curriculum focuses on forensic accounting, ethics, and regulation and reporting - the three most significant and challenging areas facing the accounting profession today. At the completion of the program, students will have fulfilled the 150 academic credit hours required to become licensed as Certified Public Accounts (CPAs) in Pennsylvania and most other states.
In addition to satisfying the credit-hour requirement for CPA licensure, the program prepares students for careers in public and corporate accounting, non-profit and governmental accounting and forensic accounting.
Duquesne's MAcc program emphasizes accounting as a profession and ensures that graduates are thoroughly prepared to be communicators, analysts, and responsible leaders. Equipped with essential accounting and financial analysis skills, MAcc program graduates also have expertise that extends beyond the scope of traditional accounting and auditing.
Distinguished by a century-long legacy in accounting education, the School's focus on the future is equally exciting. Grounded in a tradition of ethical leadership, Duquesne was one of the first 100 adopters of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME), a United Nations endorsed initiative promoting environmental stewardship, human rights and fair trade practices in business education.
With a balance of scholar-teachers and experienced practitioners, Duquesne's faculty immerse students in theory and application, thereby ensuring graduates are prepared to pass the CPA exam and join other Duquesne alumni as exemplary leaders in the accounting profession. Against the backdrop of a city with renowned corporations, health-care providers, robotics developers, and cultural organizations, the Donahue School introduces students to an array of connections to assist them in the advancement of their careers.
About the School
One of the nation's top Catholic universities , Duquesne University provides a well-rounded education that will challenge you academically while nourishing your spiritual and ethical development.

SINKING SPRING (AP) - A 14-year-old boy has been sentenced to up to a year in a juvenile treatment center for stabbing a classmate at their Berks County middle school.
The eighth-grader admitted at a hearing earlier this month that he had stabbed the other boy three times with a pocketknife at Wilson Southern Middle School on Jan. 15. The Reading Eagle reports (http://bit.ly/VSjDLu) Juvenile Judge Jeffrey Sprecher on Tuesday sentenced the teen to 9 to 12 months at the juvenile treatment facility.
The hearing was closed after prosecutors and the teen's attorney noted the boy's age and said a mental-health issue could arise.
The victim was treated for wounds to the arm and shoulder blade.
Police have said a dispute on a social media site may have precipitated the altercation.

Kevin Duffy: Settlement doesn't solve UConn's alleged sexual assault problem
The UConn women's hockey archives lists no Silvana Moccia, nor does it list a Silvanna Monccia, the spelling provided by several news outlets.
Silvana Moccia is not on a roster because she left school as a freshman in 2011. She cannot be found on the statistics page because she never appeared in a game. She does have a bio on the school's website, but the photo accompanying it, of what should be her face, is of the new UConn Husky logo.
Silvana Moccia -- and that's how her name was spelled in the lawsuit -- is the face of a deeply troubling epidemic in college athletics. There's no hiding from that truth: The NCAA has many issues, and chief among them is the rate at which sexual assaults are alleged.
There's no hiding from the truth that this is an enormous problem at UConn.
The high-profile lawsuit against the school, asserting it mishandled sexual assault cases, was settled Friday. Moccia received $900,000 in exchange, basically, for her silence. The lawsuit states that "plaintiffs, individually and collectively, warrant, represent and covenant not to make any written or oral statements about UConn, or issue any written or oral communication about UConn, that disparages UConn, portrays UConn in a false light, or encourages others to disparage or portray UConn in a false light."
Some may insist this has little to do with sports. UConn is one of 67 colleges under federal investigation by the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. It's a review of the entire university, not its athletic department.
Yet here are the numbers in this lawsuit: Five women alleged UConn failed them, in some manner. Two of those women claimed to have been raped by UConn athletes.
Rose Richi said she was raped by a football player in September 2011. Moccia said she was raped by a men's hockey player that August. Richi didn't go to authorities until 2013. The football player was exonerated by law enforcement and remained on the team. Richi asserted the UConn police conducted a shoddy investigation.
In the lawsuit Moccia joined this past December, here's how she outlines her brief experience at UConn: On Aug. 28, 2011, her third night on campus, she consumed "less than two shots" of alcohol at a party. She was driven to another party, and she felt her face going numb during the ride. Once she arrived, she could no longer walk and was carried into the house by her three friends.
Once there, she vomited in the bathroom. A male hockey player, unnamed in the lawsuit, told Moccia's friends to put her in his bed. She then lost consciousness. When she awoke, the male hockey player raped her.
On Sept. 9, 2011, Moccia called the UConn Women's Center to report the assault. Kathy Fischer, Associate Director of the center, referred Moccia to a rape crisis center for counseling and also offered to speak with her coach, Heather Linstad.
Moccia alleged that Fischer failed to advise her to contact the police. In its Feb. 3 response to the suit, UConn denied that allegation.
On that same day, Moccia met with team doctor Thomas Trojian, who had previously examined her knee. She told him she'd been raped. According to the lawsuit, Trojian told her he didn't want to know who the assaulter was, although he "could probably guess." He then mentioned transferring as an option for Moccia.
UConn denied those allegations in its Feb. 3 response, and Trojian did not respond to an email seeking comment Saturday.
On Sept. 12, 2011, Moccia met with Linstad, who was upset because the freshman goaltender had not disclosed her knee injury, according to the lawsuit, and because she had missed practices for being "sick" or "oversleeping." Moccia asserted that, due to the rape, Linstad did not think Moccia was "stable enough" to be on the team, an allegation UConn also denied.
Moccia claimed she was removed from the team and later received a tuition reimbursement. Linstad, who did not return a call seeking comment, resigned from her job in March 2013. Trojian is still employed by UConn. The case got to UConn's Director of Community Standards, Cathy Cocks, but never made it to the police, as far as the lawsuit indicates. The athletic department could not confirm or deny whether the accused assaulter remained on the men's hockey team.
This was a million-dollar mess for UConn.
The broader issue has two layers. Sexual assaults among college athletes occur at a disturbing rate. According to the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes, male student-athletes comprise just 3.3 percent of the college population, but they represent 19 percent of sexual assault perpetrators.
The egos of college athletes -- not all, but some -- can spiral out of control. By nature, athletes are aggressive. And there's booze in college. Lots of it. And there are females consuming lots of booze, and there are females who enjoy being around famous athletes.
None of that will ever change. Not the drinking, which complicates the accounts of alleged sexual assaults, and not the status and entitlement college athletes attain. The cocktail for trouble will always exist.
UConn does take preventative measures. Its football team receives hours of education on harassment and assault through the UConn Women's Center. It's unclear if other teams take part in the same program.
The second layer of the problem, the manner in which these cases are sometimes handled, is the one that can be better controlled. Too often we hear of a school protecting its logo, not the victim. This past spring, two Oregon basketball players -- Damyean Dotson and Dominic Artis -- appeared in an NCAA tournament game while they were being investigated for rape (they've both since been dismissed from school, but no charges were filed). Earlier this month, we heard an outrageous statistic from U.S. Senator Claire McCaskill: Over 20 percent of universities give their athletic departments oversight of sexual violence cases involving athletes. This is a nationwide issue.
In Moccia's case, why didn't someone at UConn -- anyone! -- step in and say, "We'll let the police handle this"? I don't know. Maybe someone did, and the lawsuit omitted it.
That said, why didn't Moccia go to the police herself? Did she really need to be notified that pursuing criminal charges was an option? I don't know.
Who to believe in this mess?
The women made their claims. UConn steadfastly denied any wrongdoing. The two sides settled. Moccia was paid nearly $1 million. Outside of that, truths are hard to find.
This much we know to be accurate: This was a disaster for the state university.

Correction part I
When I was 15 years old, I had three very lovely kittens in my house. They were like my only friends. I spent all of my free time looking after them attentively. Since they were born until they were 4 months old, not a day went by without seeing their faces or hearing their voices, and I loved them so much.
I'm not a teacher, nor a native English speaker. I'm just trying to help....Any other comments are welcome!

Hi Friends,
I just wanted to shoot you a quick note to let you all know that I am still alive, well and cooking up things in the kitchen. And I am working on a project that I am SO EXCITED about!
I've been working my tail off to get my new site, The Simple Kitchen, up and running. Why you ask? When I started Food-Life Balance, I was not using my own original photography and some of the recipes here are simple modifications of other people's creations. So this new site will have similar recipes as you have seen here but I've been upping my game in learning photography (although the picture above is not an accurate portrayal of that – this was something I snapped with my iPhone while at a cafe) and working on creating all my own recipes to post on the site. The focus will still be simple, healthy, plant-based recipes that taste delightful!
And the good news for all of you that subscribe here is that you will automatically start receiving those recipes in a few weeks when the site goes live. Food-Life Balance will stay available so if you reference this site for recipes often (I know I do!), you'll still be able to find them here. I just won't be adding new content here as it will be added at The Simple Kitchen.
I look forward to having you all join me on this new adventure!

Does your adventure or campaign feature a haunted house? If they do, you need GM's Screen #7: Haunted House!
Space behind your GM's screen is precious (and limited). You've got dice, figures, the adventure, reference books—obviously a drink and snacks—as well as pencils, pens, a notebook and more! Often times a GM needs to be a juggler to make it all fit.
That's why we created the GM's Screen line. Most GM screens focus on presenting the rules. This GM's Screen line is different. Instead of rules, each instalment presents hyper-focused pages of dressing, minor events and more all designed to add depth and flavour to an adventure. (And better yet, you can use the tables without your players realising what you are doing!)
This instalment of the GM's Screen line comprises three tables designed to bring to life the haunted houses in your campaign and is compatible with virtually any roleplaying game.
Using a GM's Screen
Using this supplement is easy. Simply print out page 2 and pin it to the inside of your GM's screen. (You can also print it out and cut it up before clipping it to your screen so you do not obscure vital tables printed on the screen itself).
When play calls for it, roll on the relevant table and use the result to build verisimilitude, detail and flavour into your game. Always re-roll inappropriate results, but consider any given result as a starting point. Describe the situation and see how the players react!
Because words have power, we've also added some flavoursome examples to help you bring the setting alive in your players' minds.
Sign up for Raging Swan's Patreon campaign by 22 August and get GM's Screen #7: Haunted House bundled with five other instalments in the line!
A System Neutral Edition GM's Resource by Creighton Broadhurst
Released 27 August 2018; Pages 3

Welcome to Watch List, where we identify five things on TV to watch while you stay at home and mediate negotiations between the NFL owners and players. Yes, the two sides remain far apart on all major issues. But perhaps a little bit of wine and a cheese platter could be the avenue to compromise, no? LET'S GO!
AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL – 8:00PM (CW) Tyra and her five-head send the models out onto the runway tonight wearing live bees. Yes, that's right. LIVE BEES. Will there be a beard of bees? Oh, there better be. And will there be a beekini? You know there will be. And what about a bee bra? Bees are such a versatile fabric that way. This opens up a whole new door for people interested in wearing live animals as a fashion statement. Surely, Lady Gaga is currently working on coat made of six live puppies stitched together. I'm hoping for snakes next week. ANTICIPATION: BEES!
MODERN FAMILY – 9:00PM (ABC) Tonight's episode was written by Carol Leifer, the esteemed standup comic and former "Seinfeld" writer who was the inspiration for Elaine's character on that show. What's interesting about good shows like "Modern Family" is that the voice of the show is so strong, it's usually impossible to notice any variation when different writers handle different episodes. That's always a good sign. ANTICIPATION: VERGARA!
TOP CHEF ALL STARS – 10:00PM (Bravo – an NBC/Universal network) Dale got the boot last week, and while I don't doubt that he had the weakest dish, I still think the judging process for this show is inherently flawed. They never take past wins into consideration when figuring out who should go home. That means, you can be second from the bottom every week until the finale, and then pull a nice meal out of your backside and BOOM! You're the top chef. But does that really make sense? Is that really a good way of deciding who's the best? Dale and Angelo have been booted in consecutive weeks, yet chicken oyster thief Mike remains. It's wrong, I tell you. ANTICIPATION: FLAWED!
HARRY CONNICK JR. IN CONCERT ON BROADWAY – 9:30PM (PBS) The crooner enchants folks on the Great White Way with renditions of old Sinatra songs. If you want to feel like you're at a wedding, this is the program for you. ANTICIPATION: I HOPE THERE'S CAKE!
AMERICAN IDOL – 8:00PM (FOX) The top 12 girls perform. Quick! Grab a jar to capture J-Lo.'s tears! ANTICIPATION: CRYING!

Meg Connolly was an example of compassion, competence and commitment even before she graduated from Marygrove in 1967.
"She was outspoken, in the best sense of the word, about everything, but in particular about the myriad social inequities spawned by racial discrimination," said Sharon Rodgers Simone '67. "I admired her and was a little bit scared by her insights into social injustice. It would take me a few years to see what she already saw in the social structures we were all embedded in. In this regard, she was a leader and a role model for me and many other fellow Marygrovers. She still is."
Nurtured by the testimony of the Civil Rights movement, Connolly recognized early in life that her passion was justice, and has tirelessly pursued it for those less privileged.
"Marygrove nourished my passion for social justice," Connolly said. "The message was, 'No matter how hard you and your families have to work to have you here, you are fortunate to be here and by virtue of that you must give back, you must contribute to the world."
Taking that message to heart, Connolly has been giving back ever since. In 1985 she became the executive director of the Volunteer Lawyers Project (VLP) of the Boston Bar Association. Under Connolly's direction, VLP has recruited, trained and coordinated more than 1000 private attorneys to provide free legal services to the poor. With her guidance, VLP has become one of the nation's preeminent organizations providing pro bono legal services for such basic needs as health care, housing and domestic relations.
"Meg has always been a leader—insightful, committed —with a gift for expressing her ideas in an inspiring and convincing manner," said Anne Fitzgerald, Connolly's Marygrove classmate, colleague and friend. "Since her early career days servicing impoverished legal clients in the federally funded Legal Assistance Program, Meg has demonstrated a concern and compassion for those without access. She has dedicated her life to making sure they receive the legal services they need."
Connolly's exemplary career as a public servant spans more than three decades. After graduating cum laude from Marygrove in 1967, she earned her law degree from Boston College Law School in 1970.
From that time on she zealously pursued social justice for all. Connolly says it was her sense of outrage that gave her the patience to remain in legal services work for 33 years.
She began her career as a legal services lawyer working as a housing attorney in the Massachusetts Law Reform Institute at Self Help, Inc. in Brockton. During her tenure, she represented public housing tenant organizations and successfully petitioned the Brockton City Council to adopt a Fitness Ordinance, ensuring that low-income renters would have habitable housing certified by inspectors.
In 1973 she became regional counsel to the Office of Economic Opportunity/ Community Services Administration in Boston. In 1976 she became deputy regional director of the Legal Services Corporation of the Boston Regional Office, where she worked with more than 100 evaluation teams to review legal services programs all over the country.
As a long-standing member of the Boston College Law School Alumnae Association, next year Connolly will become the first public interest lawyer to serve as president.
"Marygrove nourished women, as it was a women's college then," Connolly said. "It was assumed that many of us would go on to graduate school. When I said I was going to law school, faculty members nodded as if this made sense. This was when only five percent of law students were women."
"Not only is she an acknowledged leader and expert on pro bono legal services, but she is also a person who inspires others and builds consensus," said Mary K. Ryan, Connolly's friend and colleague.
"Meg's career of providing legal services to the poor gives life to the injunction, 'Justice, justice, justice shalt thou pursue.' It has been my privilege to be included in her life," said her husband, Thomas Saunders.

Hello Scorpie,
I have been working on the D&D for iframe for a while now which I needed for my app: WIDGaT
The only solution I found was to register a script in the dom of the document in the frame which relay the mouse events to the top window (might cause cross domain problems).
Here is a link to the script I'm using:
This only works on Firefox and Chrome so far, IE uses a different way of firing events (looking into it).
It's the first time I'm using ExtJS and it's a pretty big app so the code is most definitely not optimised but I'm doing exactly what you are looking for so keep looking you'll probably find what you need

by Heinz Decker (Isbn 3-925300-44-9). It was published by The German Exlibris Society
The book is profusely illustrated and belongs in your reference library if you are interested in bookplates used by writers.The section that I found most interesting is called Erfundene,dedizierte und postume Dichterexlibris (loosely translated, with the assistance of Google it means invented and dedicated posthumously ) . Some of these "honorarium" plates are illustrated below.
I have unknowingly bid for several of them on Ebay .
James Joyce (1882-1941) by Johnny Friedlaender
Thomas Mann (1875-1955) by Emil Preetorius
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle( 1859- 1930) D.F.A. Sc , K.L.G.,Fec.
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) by Michel Fingesten
George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) by Michel Fingesten
Here is a link to Claus Wittal , a very knowledgeable dealer and publisher who can assist you in ordering this book.
While I am wearing my book reviewer hat I would also recommend Books, A Memoir by Larry McMurtry. It has nothing to do with bookplates but if you like browsing in antiquarian bookshops you will probably enjoy reading this book.
See you next week.

Tomorrow is a big day for Nokia with the Finnish company preparing to unveil its latest Windows Phone devices. We know that at least two phones will be announced – Lumia 820 (Arrow?) and Lumia 920. As you would expect, we care more about the latter model which will be Nokia's new flagship phone. The rumor is that it will come with a 1.5GHz dual-core processor, 4.5-inch HD screen, 1GB of RAM and 32GB of built-in storage. In addition, we're hearing that the phone will be touted as PureView even though its camera sensor will count just 8 megapixels (as opposed to 41 or 21). However, it is said that Lumia 920 will rock some advancements in image stabilization and camera software which is always a plus, but I'm not sure it justifies the PureView name.
In the other Nokia news, we've also learned that both Lumia 820 and Lumia 920 will support wireless charging that could possibly (it's not confirmed) sing along the Qi wireless power standard. If that's true, you will be able to use either Nokia's or some other's Qi-based charger to add extra juice to your new Windows Phone. We'll have all the information within a day so stay tuned. 😉

A reader, who is not at all crazy and is totally onto something here, just sent us the following email with the above picture attached:
I guess I'm crazy, or maybe my picture isn't good enough for others to see it, but I see Tim Duncan in the clouds at Kanye West's Yeezus Tour in this picture. It looks to me like he's still sad he missed that baby jump-hook in the Finals.
And you know what? He's right! Look at this!
Most of my Deadspin colleagues disagree with me, but that's because they are stupid and lack the vision necessary to recognize a miracle when they see one.
Also, this means that Tim Duncan is in the Illuminati, and we were all stupid to have not realized that before.

Dear HIV,
For the entire time I have existed, you have been reality. I am one of the first generations of 'post-AIDS' LGBTQQ folks, meaning that HIV/AIDS was on this planet before I was. From an early age, when I barely understood what AIDS was, to now, when I know friends living with you in their bodies, you have always haunted the land, a specter or hobgoblin on the horizon.
The fathers in the neighborhood used to warn us about you and how 'It used to be if you were unlucky, you got a shot in the ass. Now you can die!' The school teachers indoctrinated us with safety procedures regarding bodily fluids spilled in class so to prevent potentially furthering your existence. Hell, Tom Hanks even won an Oscar for playing an AIDS patient.
But this has not stopped you. In a world where LGBTQQ folks are still raised to hate themselves, the cult of flesh and a quick high has replaced what we used to call 'pride'. Even though there are now LGBTQQ TV shows, the simple truth is that the gays of my generation are closer to BOYS IN THE BAND than WILL AND GRACE. As such, young men will die from having unprotected sex intentionally. I know of your horrifying and repulsive 'Bug Catcher' cults, which are the darkest versions of internalized homophobia seen in generations. I never will know how you have made men feel like they should literally fuck each other to death. Simply put, you did.
I will also never understand how you were able to convince the Pope and African bishops that you cannot be prevented with contraception. I will never understand how you convinced Ronald Reagan to cut funding to the CDC when you first appeared in New York and San Francisco. I will never understand why, after all the hard work of groups like ACT UP, you still continue to poison innocent people whose only sin was the desire for intimacy and love.
You are simply too much, HIV. I think the sooner we break up and you move out, the better. Oh, and I am keeping the fine china, so don't even think about it. Just go away. No one likes you anymore. You are vile and evil, not me, and I will never apologize again for my homosexuality because of your embarrassing and evil acts.

Gerrard hails 'phenomenal' Rodgers
Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard has hailed manager Brendan Rodgers as "phenomenal" and hopes the Northern Irishman can build a legacy at the club.
The pair have been at the forefront of Liverpool's Barclays Premier League title charge, which was strengthened by rivals Manchester City and Chelsea both slipping up against Sunderland this week.
A top-four finish was the stated aim this season for the Reds, who have finished no higher than sixth in the past four campaigns, but they have thrived under Rodgers
Gerrard told the Daily Telegraph: "He's a phenomenal man for his age (41). I think he's going to grow into one of the world's best managers and I hope he is here long after I am gone.
"I hope he is here for many, many years because this club is in great hands. Whatever happens now until the end of the season, it's safe.
"He's a winner, he's hungry for success, he does the right things, he treats players well, he doesn't try and control the football club, or get involved in stuff that has nothing to do with him.
"He just focuses on getting on the training pitch and coaching the team, improving individuals, improving the team and playing football the right way. That's what the supporters want here."
The Merseysiders currently top the standings by two points, ahead of the clash with Norwich, and are now firm favourites to earn their first league success in 24 years, with captain Gerrard admitting he will need to keep his emotions in check during the run-in.
"They are there - the nerves, the excitement. They are there because we have earned the right to have those kinds of feelings," he added.
"The challenge for me, which just as important as being on the pitch now, is can I control myself and can I get on with my life for the next four weeks."
