2 HASKINS & SELLS January Cash Disbursements by Branches BY C. R. OLIN, JR. (Supervising Accountant, Cincinnati Office) ALARGE manufacturing company, through its thirty sales branches, efficiently makes and adequately controls annual cash disbursements of about five million dollars. It is done out of a fund of $15,000.00. Less than two years ago its branches numbered only twelve; its annual disbursements through these branches aggregated but one million dollars or less; and the fund amounted to $30,000.00 or more—indicating that the present volume of business under the old methods would have required a fund of at least $150,000.00. The present plan affords a number of features which are interesting and desirable both to public accountants and to any institutions whose business transactions and form of organization require that disbursements be made by employes located in widespread and distant points. One of the more important is the absolute control and check by the home office. This is of particular interest at present in view of the unusual attention which is being given to the cash situation by accountants and executives. The plan can be better appreciated by having in mind the methods it has superseded. These old methods, in this case, were very similar to those which have been and are being widely used by others. A comparison of the old and the new will make obvious many of the advantages gained and it is to be hoped that it will suggest beneficial adoption, either in part or as a whole, of the new plan by others. The outline of the old methods is brief and confined to the essentials. Formerly each branch was supplied with an imprest fund. These funds varied from $100.00 to $5,000.00, depending upon the size and location of the branch. The amount was expected to be sufficient to cover their requirements for a reasonable length of time. Actual practice showed that seasonal requirements necessitated temporary increases in these funds. It was, of course, intended that such temporary increases would be returned when the emergency passed. However, they more often became permanent ones or were retained by the branch for a period considerably longer than necessary. It is a human trait, it seems, to like to control more money than actual needs dictate. Naturally such excess funds were unprofitably idle. At most branches a large part of the imprest fund was carried as cash in hand. Purchases and expenses of varied size and character were paid for out of it both in cash and by check. Supporting vouchers of various sorts were taken. These were sent in to the home office for reimbursement when the fund became diminished. Geographical distance from the home office necessitated larger balances at the more remote branches to care for their needs while the reimbursement checks were in transit. Audit and control of the branch funds were more or less ineffective. When bank accounts were maintained for part of the funds these accounts could, of course, be checked and audited with some degree of satisfaction and safety. But when all of the fund was in hand, or when part was in hand and part on deposit, it can be seen readily that proper control and simultaneous audit (with other funds of the company) were not only difficult but perhaps expensive, especially if made by the company's own traveling auditors. The new plan has all the advantages of the old and few, if any, of the disadvantages. Some of the requirements of the

According to a press release from the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office, dated Sept., 25, 2012:
On Sept. 24, 2012, at approximately 6:00 p.m. the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office received a call from the Camp Host at Moonstone Beach regarding an explosive device that was found. The responding deputy was a member of the Humboldt County Sheriff's Office Bomb Squad. The camp host told the deputy the device was found at the south end of the parking lot in some bushes by another citizen. When the deputy retrieved the device he recognized it as a "Model 450 Flash Bang Device", which are typically used by law enforcement or military personnel. These devices, normally designed with a short (nominally one second) delay fuse, produce a stunning, disorienting blast and a brilliant, dazzling flash. They can cause serious injuries if used inappropriately. They are illegal to possess. If you find one, do not touch it, and call local law enforcement immediately.
The deputy took custody of the live device and booked it in to be destroyed. Anyone with information for the Sheriffs Office regarding this case or related criminal activity is encouraged to call the Sheriffs Office at 707-445-7251 or the Sheriff's Office Crime Tip line at 707-268-2539.

OPENING KICKOFF: Today's Centennial Conference (CC) game marks the 18th meeting between McDaniel (0-1, 0-0 CC) and Moravian (0-1, 0-0 CC) in a series that dates back to 1972. The Greyhounds hold an 11-6 advantage in the all-time series, including three wins in the first three meetings since the renewal of conference foes in 2007 as well as last season, 21-7. The Green Terror snapped that streak with a 13-10 victory in 2010 in Westminster and made it back-to-back victories with a 35-14 home win in 2011.
WHEN LAST WE MET: Moravian scored 14 points in the final 1:06 of the first half to break a 7-all deadlock and defeat McDaniel 21-7 in the CC opener for both teams last season. Matt Emerson led the Green Terror on offense with 153 yards rushing on 21 carries. Joe Tegan led the offense for the Greyhounds with 129 yards rushing. Jimmy Lahue completed 14 of 22 passes for 178 yards.
LAST TIME OUT: Catholic jumped out to a 27-0 lead en route to a 48-16 win over McDaniel last week. Derrick Miles (Glen Mills, Pa./Bayard Rustin) led the Green Terror on defense with a career-best 12 tackles while Erik Klugh (Millersville, Pa./Penn Manor) chipped in 11 tackles – all solo stops. Mike Cousar (Easton, Pa./Easton) added 11 tackles, including a sack, and also caught an 18-yard pass off a fake punt in the fourth quarter. Joe Rollins (Temple Hills, Md./Surrattsville) led the offense with 118 yards on 22 carries, leaving him 20 yards shy of second place on the program's all-time list. He also had both touchdowns. Ryan Yamada (Brookeville, Md./Good Counsel) went 17-for-41 for 218 yards.
WITH HONORS: Joe Rollins and Derrick Miles were named to their respective CC Weekly Honor Rolls last week. Rollins was named the offensive ledger after leading the Green Terror with 118 yards on 22 carries. He also scored both touchdowns. Miles earned the defensive nod after recording a career-high 12 tackles to lead the defense.
LEADING THE WAY: Mike Cousar, Derrick Miles, Mike Oliveto (Robesonia, Pa./Conrad Weiser), Joe Rollins and Pat Tighe (Point Pleasant Beach, N.J./Point Pleasant Beach) will captain the squad in 2013. All five are first-time captains and mark the most since 2009.
OPENING STATEMENTS: McDaniel had won back-to-back CC openers, snapping a four-year skid, but dropped a 21-7 decision at Moravian last year. After a one-year hiatus, the Green Terror returned to opening the conference slate against Moravian in 2011. The Greyhounds won each of the first three CC meetings when the two teams meet in the first conference game of the season. The Green and Gold are 14-16 in conference lidlifters since the inception of the CFC. The Green Terror dropped its first eight openers after the creation of the CFC in 1983 – all to Gettysburg. For the first 20 years, McDaniel and Gettysburg squared off with the Bullets holding a slight 11-9 advantage. Ursinus was the first opponent on the Green Terror's CC schedule for the next four years. McDaniel won the first three of those meetings.
THREE'S COMPANY: The Green Terror had three defenders reach double-digit tackles last week against Catholic. Derrick Miles led the way with a career-best 12 stops. Erik Klugh and Mike Cousar both added 11 tackles. All 11 of Klugh's stop came as solo tackles. Included in Cousar's 11 stops was a 19-yard sack that forced an intentional grounding call.
FAKING IT: Mike Cousar was also on the receiving end of a fourth-quarter fake punt by McDaniel. Facing fourth-and-8 at the Catholic 37, the snap went directly to Mike Oliveto in the personal-protector position. Oliveto found Cousar for an 18-yard gain and first down that led to a Joe Rollins six-yard touchdown run five plays later.
ROLLINS ALONG: Senior Joe Rollins enters his this week's game with 3,385 rushing yards in his career, which ranks third all-time in program history. He is one of just five running backs in the 30-year history of the CC to eclipse the 3,000-yard plateau in his first three seasons. Rollins needs just 21 yards to pass Rob Johnson for second place alone. Rollins would need a single-season program-record 2,014 yards to match Eric Frees' record of 5,281 yards from 1988 to 1991.
NEW MEMBER TO THE CLUB: Sophomore QB Ryan Yamada recorded his first 200-yard yard passing game last Saturday, completing 17 of 41 passes for 218 yards. He became the 15th Green Terror signal caller to record a 200-yard passing game and the first since Nick Valori (Sewall, N.J./Washington Twp.) threw for 231 in the 2012 season opener at Catholic.
SIX PACK OF KICKS: Six different Green Terror players returned a kickoff in Saturday night's opener. Erik Klugh was the team's leading returner with three returns for 36 yards. The other five men only had one return each, including the deep men on every kickoff – Joe Rollins and Nick O'Melia (Taneytown, Md./Francis Scott Key). Rollins had a 21-yard return the one time he touched the ball while O'Melia took it back 12 yards.
AERIAL ATTACK: McDaniel was able to get a number of players involved in the passing game during the opener. Seven different players caught at least one of Ryan Yamada's 17 completions. Joe Rollins, in addition to his 22 rush attempts, was the leading receiver with five catches for 36 yards. Mike Oliveto caught four balls for 58 yards while Sean Montgomery (Bethesda, Md./Walter Johnson) and JT Kotowski (Colonia, N.J./Colonia) each had three snags for 44 and 41 yards, respectively.
YOUTH MOVEMENT: The Green Terror will enter the regular season with a roster of 96 players. Of those 99 players, 64 are either freshmen or sophomores. McDaniel will have a freshman class of 41 in 2013 – by far its largest class on the roster.
TERROR TIDBITS: Joe Rollins notched his 16th 100-yard rushing game last Saturday. The only Green Terror player with more in program history is all-time leading rusher Eric Frees (28)… Six McDaniel players have celebrated birthdays in the last eight days… In last week's opener with Catholic, the two teams combined to run 167 plays… The Green Terror was the most penalized team in the conference last week, being flagged nine times for 99 yards.
COACHES' CORNER: Mike Hoyt is in his second season at the helm of the Green Terror, entering today's game with an overall record of 0-11. He spent the previous eight seasons as the defensive coordinator, culminating with being a finalist for the American Football Coaches Association Assistant Coach of the Year award in 2011. In his first season at Albright, his defense went from allowing an average of 235.4 yards per game to 175.1 yards per contest, helping to guide Albright to an ECAC South Atlantic championship. His tenure as defensive coordinator was marked specifically by stout run defense, ranking in the top half of the Middle Atlantic Conference in rush defense, total defense and scoring defense in four of his last five seasons. His 2008 defense led the conference and ranked 33rd nationally, allowing just 16.9 points per games and appeared in the ECAC South Central Bowl… Jeff Pukszyn is in his third season as the head coach at Moravian after serving 10 years as assistant head coach. He enters today's game with a record of 4-17 after back-to-back 2-8 campaigns in his first two seasons. He joined the staff as a part-time coach in 1997 after a three-year playing career under former head coach and current Director of Athletics Scot Dapp that saw him named to the All-Middle Atlantic Conference first team in 1994 and 1996. The two-time captain joined the staff full time in 1999 as defensive coordinator, a position he retains as the head man.
THE WORD ON MORAVIAN: The Greyhounds enter today's game off a 31-7 loss at Ithaca last Saturday… Robbie Moyer went 14-for-26 for Moravian for 163 yards to lead the offense. He also accounted for the squad's only touchdown, rushing for 16 yards on 15 attempts, including a five-yard run in the third quarter for the score… Anthony Orlando racked up 18 tackles to lead the defense, including 11 solo stops… Kevin Bracken also reached double digits with 11 stops… The Greyhounds turned the ball over four times, resulting in nine of the Bombers' points. Ithaca also stopped Moyer in the end zone late in the third quarter for a safety.

Symantec quietly snaps up Revivio's CDP assets
In a hush-hush deal that closed last week, Symantec folded in continuous data protection startup Revivio's intellectual property for an undisclosed sum.
Symantec Corp. has picked up continuous data protection (CDP) startup Revivio Inc. -- or, rather, Revivio's intellectual property -- after weeks of buzz in the industry.
The deal for Revivio's IP was finalized Nov. 20, according to Symantec spokeswoman Linda Smith Munyan; she said it was Symantec policy with acquisitions based on IP not to release a formal announcement. The majority of Revivio's staff has been laid off, and it appears the company is closing its doors, although it would neither confirm nor deny this.
"It's great for their customers that Symantec is acquiring this technology rather than spending three years in development reinventing the wheel," said Curtis Preston, vice president of data protection for GlassHouse Technologies, Inc.
Last of a dying breed?
Revivio was founded in October 2001; between then and this past spring, the company raised more than $55 million in venture capital investment. The company's continuous protection system (CPS) product was one of the first "true" CDP products -- defined as a product that copies every block and can recover to seconds or nanoseconds before a failure.
But, "Revivio kind of missed the boat," said Arun Taneja, founder and analyst with the Taneja Group. The company hadn't focused on OEMs like its rivals, Taneja said, and had committed "marketing blunders."
"They didn't present it as a solution -- they were selling technology, and it wasn't clear to customers what to do with it," Taneja said. "I've never heard of more than a handful of customers for them -- their VC community was getting up in arms."
Symantec did not disclose financial details of the deal, but analysts predicted the amount paid for Revivio's IP was probably low. One industry expert who asked not to be named said it had probably been a "fire sale."
Revivio certainly hasn't been alone in having trouble getting traction; while hype around continuous data protection has increased over the last year, confusion on the part of end users about where and how to use the technology has risen as well, according to discussions at the recent Storage World conference.
Users found the prospect of using CDP to back up every single block of data over an entire environment particularly unappetizing. Dealing with storage growth in conventional backup systems is enough of a struggle as it is, they said.
The long-term future: CDP becomes part of backup 'spectrum'
Even as adoption of CDP as a standalone product has stalled, the big vendors are snapping up its pioneers like hotcakes: EMC Corp. acquired heterogeneous replication and CDP startup Kashya Inc. in May; CA Inc. acquired Windows replication and CDP startup XOsoft Inc. in June; and Network Appliance Inc. (NetApp) acquired CDP and heterogeneous replication startup Topio two weeks ago. Now Symantec is weaving CDP into NetBackup.
"The issue with CDP adoption so far is that vendors haven't put it in context," Taneja said. "What the larger players are doing is putting it in place along a continuum of backup and recovery options."
Over the next few years, Taneja said, companies like Symantec will be bringing together unified consoles for data protection management rather than offering different approaches to backup. Under these consoles, Taneja said, users would set service levels for applications, and the product itself would pick a backup technology based on the user's policies, whether CDP, disk as disk, virtual tape library (VTL), "or whatever the acronym of the month is that's best for the problem," Taneja said.
"At some point in the not so distant future, I'm sure we will [hear] of some new acronym to describe the convergence of backup, CDP, replication/mirroring and snapshot management," said Greg Schulz, founder and analyst with the StorageIO Group. "It makes sense for the technologies to be able to work together as a combined solution."
Meanwhile, backup expert Preston said he isn't convinced that every backup method will ultimately converge under one umbrella, but he said he agreed that CDP and backup are meant to be used in combination.
"Any enterprise level backup product at this point needs CDP as part of its feature set," Preston said. "And I don't think CDP is ever going to be the way to go for every single application."

Here, recycling is the name of the game. Copper and aluminum obviously, but also steel, brick and even seemingly worthless nuggets of concrete from demolished buildings find their way to new and productive uses. Grasses are planted to protect critical wetlands near the Chesapeake Bay, and further toward the Appalachian Piedmont, new trees will help protect tributaries of the Potomac River.
Dedicated individuals pick up trash along miles of highway and reclaim historic sites. The mission spans the generations, as well; kids tend raised beds, pick cucumbers and make friends with writhing red worms in rich black soil. And to top it all off, the organization that does all this will soon be maintaining more than 200 acres of solar panels that will, if all goes as promised, effectively double Maryland's output of sun power.
And what is this uber-green society? The Sierra Club? Riverkeepers? No, it's Maryland's state prison system. The image of the stripe-attired inmate chained to an iron ball is rapidly changing.
As prisons enter the 21st Century, the core mission remains imprisonment. Hard time is still hard time. But Maryland Public Safety and Correctional Services Secretary Gary Maynard's administration has initiated a "restorative justice" program called Public Safety Works that is designed to teach inmates usable skills while they repay their debt to society in ways that matter. The program has evolved to dovetail with Gov. Martin O'Malley's "Smart, Green and Growing" initiative to take on a decidedly ecological flavor.
Inmates who are in pre-release (a sort of air lock to acclimate them to society) or other low-risk categories are eligible for Mr. Maynard's work crews. On occasion, Mr. Maynard said, inmates do walk away, but usually it's to meet a girlfriend or to answer the siren song of a fast food joint.
An average day in Maryland will see 400 inmates on job sites across the state. For local governments, a ready, willing and cheap workforce is there for the asking. "I tell them to show me their biggest mess and I'll clean it up," Mr. Maynard said. So far, the only snag has been a reluctance of local governments to take advantage of an offer that almost seems too good to be true.
For the price of peanuts (last year the town of Boonsboro put a two-man crew on staff for $12.80 a day), a local jurisdiction can employ considerable manpower that it otherwise could never afford.
And the DOC has shown a taste for projects that contribute to society in ways that go beyond the standard trash gathering and string trimming along the interstates. Prison crews have helped to clean up and stabilize the endangered Anchor of Hope Cemetery on Hooper's Island in Dorchester County and reclaimed decaying veterans' cemeteries across the state. They've planted trees along Antietam Creek, where 23,000 soldiers fell on Sept.17, 1862, and built five Habitat for Humanity homes in Federalsburg.
Williamsport requested a full-time prison labor force, and inmates have performed more than $40,000 worth of work for the town, including restoration of a historic barn, installing public rest rooms and painting the town hall.
In Baltimore, juvenile offenders have learned some lessons in agriculture by tending raised beds of vegetables in the prison courtyard; across the state, inmates plant bay grasses, maintain parks and are more than halfway to their goal of planting 1 million trees.
Under a partnership between the DOC and state Department of Natural Resources, a Southern Maryland crew has worked at the Piney Point Aquaculture Center, putting together 42,000 shell bags and filling them with 24,000 bushels of oyster shells, which were reintroduced to the bay as a habitat for oyster larvae.
Perhaps the inmates' signature project will be demolition of the abandoned House of Correction in Jessup, which was originally to be bulldozed and landfilled at a cost of $10 million. With inmate power and an intense recycling plan, the job will now cost state taxpayers closer to $4.5 million. Copper wires and steel bars will be recycled, 1 million bricks will be reclaimed and crushed concrete will be used for oyster reef substrate.
The icing — or perhaps it is the cake — is that inmates are learning skills that will be in demand upon their release, in areas such as construction, equine care, aquaculture, and lead paint and asbestos abatement.
But, says the public safety department's mission statement, "Public Safety Works isn't just about giving inmates jobs and skills; it's about meaningful projects, paying society back in the restorative justice model that gives inmates and communities alike something truly invaluable."
And building homes for the poor and saving our bay and our history is about as meaningful as you can get.

We currently have a two week sprint and we seem have issues with timing between testing and development. We have (nearly) daily releases to a test environment. We stage our release about 1.5 days before the production release in a separate environment. We have 3 developers and 1 tester.
One strategy is to test through these daily releases as features/bug fixes are code-completed. The drawback with this strategy is that the code base is in constant flux and what passed testing at the beginning may not pass at the end. There is a little bit of time to retest things during the 1.5 day window, but not enough to test everything.
The other strategy is to stagger the testing, so that the tester is working on the (frozen) code base one sprint behind the developers. The drawback with this is that if problems are found, the functionality needs to be remembered/rehashed/etc - a lot of the arguments against waterfall.
Does anyone have any opinions about which way is better, or an alternative?


text: Men's Lacrosse 3/18/2016 2:33:57 PM RECAP: Denver 14 - Florida 10 The heat was heavy in Boca Raton, Fla. as the Outlaws dominated the first half of the game, outscoring the Launch 5-0 in the first quarter and 11-1 by the end of the second. The team now enjoys a 21 consecutive regular season winning streak, carried over from their past three seasons, albeit narrowly after a fight to the end from the Launch. Drew Snider opened up scoring this season, his first of two goals followed less than a minute later by Coke Player of the Game Chris Bocklet. Bocklet netted his first of five goals with the same shot as Snider, obviating Launch defenseman Tucker Durkin and aiming from the left side of the net, burying it top shelf behind goaltender Brett Queener. Florida charged back, looking for a 2-point goal to make up the difference merely three minutes into the first, but were shut down by a swarming Outlaws defense and top goaltender Jesse Schwartzman, who set the new League record for the lowest goals-against average last year with 9.27. The Launch would be unable to penetrate the Outlaws' defense until the second quarter, often getting caught attempting to move the ball in front of the net or having the ball on one player's stick for too long. The Outlaws were able to regain possession after every shot attempt by the Launch and turn over the game, Eric Law netting two of his own with passes from Matt Gibson, and Bocklet and Snider both burying power play goals, giving Denver a sturdy 6-0 lead entering the second quarter. With a sudden burst of energy, MLL veteran Casey Powell stormed Schwartzman in net, allowing Launch midfielder Josh Amidon enough room to slip in a shot around the goaltender, finally putting Florida up on the board. The high, however, was short lived. Bocklet scored an unassisted goal against Queener, followed by Michael Simon and Sam Snow, completely zapping any energy Amidon's goal had built within the new team as the margin between the score continued to widen. To make matters worse for Florida, Queener was then hit on his none-dominant forearm with an Outlaws' shot on net, going down in pain. With over five minutes left in the quarter, Queener continued to play, his efforts thus far in the game the reason the Launch weren't trailing by more goals. To add insult to injury, midfielder Jeremy Sieverts, who had 44 of his own points last season, fired a 2-point shot behind Queener, who then did not return after halftime. Then, the tables turned. The Launch came back from halftime firing, netting the only five goals of the period and leveling the score 11-7. Amidon netted a 2-pointer, while Powell, Andrew Scalley, and Grant Kaleikau all stormed the net, finagling their goals single-handedly, and Kevin Cunningham netted the final of the barrage off of a pass from Powell. In Queener's place now stood Adam Fullerton, an eight year MLL-veteran from Denver with a .533 average save percentage. Suddenly enlivened, the Launch began to fight back. It seemed as if everything the Outlaws had been doing right in the first half they were now doing wrong; they couldn't maintain possession, they were turning over the ball and keeping it in one player's stick for too long. Florida capitalized with high energy, dominating on the faceoffs, taking good shots, and burying them. Powell opened up scoring in the final quarter with an assist from Peter Ricci, and then he drew the Launch's first penalty, a holding call against Outlaws' Domenic Sebastiani. Scalley took the man advantage to score on the power play, but unfortunately Florida was unable to ever steal the lead from Denver. The Outlaws battled back with goals again from Bocklet and Justin Pennington, but even a final goal from Powell would not be enough to lift the win from the Outlaws, who were able to finalize the score 14-10. With this win the Outlaws secure their first of the season. Although they were unable to upset the reigning undefeated team, the Launch exhibited play in the second half that should bolster support both inside and outside of the new Floridian team. The Outlaws suit up next weekend for their home opener on May 4, hosting the Ohio Machine at 5pm ET. The Launch host the Charlotte Hounds May 3 at FAU Stadium at 7pm ET. Game Notes: · Chris Bocklet was awarded the Coke Player of the Game with five goals to start the season. Last year he netted 42 goals. · Goaltender Brett Queener left the game at halftime after withstanding being hit with a shot on net after turning away 15 shot attempts. His current status is unknown. · Denver had multiple goals from multiple players: Bocklet had five, Snider and Law had two. · Casey Powell and Josh Amidon helped accrue eight out of Florida's 15 points in the game, Powell with three goals and two assists and Amidon with two goals and one 2-point goal.

NEW YORK PORTLAND PROVIDENCE SAINT LOUIS SALT LAKE CITY SAN DIEGO SAN FRANCISCO SEATTLE TULSA WATERTOWN BERLIN LONDON MANILA PARIS SHANGHAI HAVANA MEXICO CITY MONTREAL VOL. X I NEW YORK, NOVEMBER, 1928 No. 11 The Era of Consolidations COMPETITION, traditionally referred to as "the life of trade," today frequently finds itself branded as a "menace to business." In that ideal state which economists assume as an hypothesis upon which to base their reasoning, free competition is held not only to be a boon to consumers, but to regulate production so that it is confined to a profitable basis. In that practical world with which business enterprise actually has to deal, free competition may be advantageous to the buying public, but statistics show that it does not always keep production within the bounds of profit. Boarding houses spring up in a city like New York, not because compiled data show that there is a profitable demand for more and better boarding houses, but frequently because some uninformed widow must seek a means of economic existence, and she determines to "try her luck" at accepting paying guests. The result usually is a shortlived experiment, continuing until the meagre capital has been exhausted. Business ventures, too often, are like city boarding houses. They are likely to be begun without adequate survey of the field and scientific planning of the operation. Frequently, they are continued, regardless of demand, without knowledge of costs, and with intermittent, if not continuous, losses of capital. The facts, if they could be developed, probably would show that many businesses are started without a possible chance of economic success. They are continued in the face of certain failure. They battle with competition which is sure to be fatal. The entrepreneurs "try their luck" when there is no luck to be had. The outcome is preordained. Such is the condition of thousands of small enterprises today. The business in their respective fields is so organized that they cannot compete and survive. High costs which go with small volume of production sap their capital and leave them, sooner or later, stranded in the bankruptcy courts. The day of small business in this country probably is past. Consolidation is the order of the day. Every industry seems to be headed toward the formation of larger units, working on a basis of sound and sane competition. The economists may yet realize their ideal state. In the meantime, the accountant must understand what should be his part when business units are brought together. He must furnish, in consolidated form, the results of past performances of the units. He should not undertake to prophesy what

"Can a man, who is for society virtually called no good, murderous, a menace to society, actually change into a decent and respectable human being with gifts to help society? That's a million dollar question."
– Clifford Jones
Clifford Jones was sentenced to 50 years at Angola Prison. A prison in which many enter and few are expected to leave due to the length of sentencing – a fact that leaves little hope for the inmates. One day while walking Angola's grounds "frustrated and mad," Jones stopped beneath a tree, and it is there that he heard God speak to him: "Take care of my business, and I'll take care of yours." Thinking himself crazy, Jones says he walked the yard one more time, but once again as he got to the tree God repeated himself. It was in this moment Jones decided to join the Bible college gaining momentum within the walls of Angola.

Here is a familiar face we haven't seen in a while here on Dragoart. It'a Winnie the Pooh and he is coming for you. Well, not literally for you, maybe to you on your sheet of paper or computer screen. Here is another great popular character that is great to draw in a very easy to understand fashion. This tutorial only has a total of five drawing steps and every single one of them is going to be easy to follow, understand, and replicate. Here is "how to draw Winnie the Pooh easy", step by step. This was one of my favorite tutorials that I made today. I think it's because of his adorable childlike face takes me back to when I was a kid. I used to be obsessed with Pooh Bear and all of his friends at the Hundred Acre Wood. Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Piglet, Tigger, Owl, Eeyore, and even Roo where among my favorite faces in all of the movies and cartoon series. I could never understand why Piglet and Pooh where so darn close. When I used to watch the movies, I didn't remember them being together a lot. I remember Tigger and Pooh hanging out all the time, but then it turns out that Tigger is best friends with Roo. The whole thing has go me all wireded up just thinking about it. Again, you will be drawing Winnie the Pooh in a three fourth fashion, but this time I drew the head turned a bit more so that it actually looks like a full frontal of Pooh Bear. This was another fun task, and if you are a fan of Winnie the Pooh, you will have fun drawing him out too. I shall return so stay tuned in. peace out people and like always, enjoy!

Anyway, I tried a natropath-led diet program (at a very high cost) that involved following a strongly alkaline diet: lots of green leafy vegies, small amount of protein once a day (no red meat or dairy), no fruit except one apple a day, no alcohol or caffeine, no breads, rice or pasta, lots of water. On this diet, apart from being very hungry and cranky, my psoriasis became the worst it's ever been and trebled in size! This was in conjunction with taking nine supplement tablets three times a day and using a "special formula" cleanser and lotion. A very expensive failure! I now just try to be healthy and I do find that I flare if I don't eat lots of vegies. I have heard it can be helpful to eliminate what's called the nightshade family of vegetables: includes tomatoes, capsicums (or peppers) and potatoes.

The Center for Student Development and the Office of Fraternity and Sorority Life has a no tolerance policy for hazing.
Being a member of an organization at the Texas Woman's University is a great experience for students and should be an experience which enriches a student's life.
Involvement in an organization should provide positive academic, leadership and character development, as well as foster a sense of community amongst students.
It is important that all Greek organizations have read and abide by first, the Texas Hazing Law and TWU's Hazing Policy.
Texas Hazing Law
This hazing policy was passed by the Texas State Legislature relating to offenses related to hazing at or in connection with an educational institution.
First it gives the definition of an "educational institution", "student", and an "organization" classify as. The next three terms are very important:
- a "pledge" is any person who has been accepted by, is considering an offer of membership from, or is in the process of qualifying for membership in any organization
- "pledging" means any action or activity related to becoming a member of an organization
- "Hazing" means any intentional knowing, or reckless act occurring on or off the campus of an educational institution, by one person alone or acting with others, directed against a student that endangers the mental or physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of pledging, being initiated into, affiliating with, holding office in, or maintaining membership in any organization whose members are students at an educational institution. The term includes but is not limited to the following activities:
- Any type of physical brutality,
- whipping,
- calisthenics,
- severe mental illness,
- beating,
- threats,
- striking,
- shame,
- branding,
- humiliation,
- sleep deprivation,
- alcoholic beverage, or
- any activity involving the consumption of: food, liquid or any other substance which subjects the students to an unreasonable risk of harm, mentally or physically
Under the Texas Hazing Law there are also two offenses:
- Personal – A person commits an offense if they engage in, encourage, direct or attempt to aid another engaging in hazing; if they intentionally or knowingly permitted hazing to occur; or if they had firsthand knowledge about the planning of a hazing incident at an educational institution and if they had firsthand knowledge about a hazing incident and knowingly failed to report it
- Organization – an organization commits as offense if the organizations condones or encourages hazing or if an officer or any combination of members, pledges or alumni of the organization commits or assists in the commission of hazing
Offenses under these sections are misdemeanors punishable by a fine not exceeding $1000. Offenses which cause death are a misdemeanor punishable by a fine up to $10,000, confinement in jail, or both.
TWU Hazing Policy
(pg. 125 of the Student Handbook)
According to Texas Woman's University the definition of hazing is the same as the Texas State Law on Hazing: any action or situation, with or without consent of the participants, which recklessly, intentionally, or unintentionally endangers the mental, physical, academic, health or safety of a student. This includes, but is not limited to any situation which:
- Creates a risk of injury to any individual or group
- Causes discomfort to any individual or group
- Causes embarrassment to any individual or group
- Involves harassment of any individual or group
- Involves humiliation of an individual or group
- Involves ridicule of an individual or group
- Involves or includes the willful destruction and/or removal of public or private property for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with, or as a condition for continued membership in any organization.
Depending on the offense, persons are subject to 6 months to one year in jail and up to a $10,000 fine.

I'm somewhere between Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral. I don't think law and tradition have any inherent self-value, but favor personal liberties, and don't think peace and security weigh more than them.

I did everything online product details only to go by and it came out AMAZING! My daughter LOVES it! The discount price was well worth the finished product.I will use this site again!
Waseem runs a tight ship. I was impressed by his attention to detail and quality control. The jackets we all custom sized and fit awesome.
This was my second jacket from Clothoo and I'm again very happy with my purchase! They make a great jacket and I highly recommend them! Nobody does it better! __ Clothoo!
I needed four very specific jackets that were slightly different from the Clothoo's blank jackets. After reaching out to the team I was able to get a custom color and jacket style created all still at a reasonable price. My embroidery design came out perfect and the jackets are even better than I expected! Fits true to size and I would highly recommend this company.
Clothoo certainly does live up to the many five star reviews they get for their products. I was surprised to see my Jacket for the first time via e-mail, and was thrilled to see my logo stitched on the jacket precisely. I'll definitely recommend Clothoo to friends and family in search of custom outerwear apparel.
My daughter has been after a varsity jacket for over a year now, and as we live in the UK they are not something that are readily available in many if any stores and those that are are of quite dubious quality to say he least. I found Clothoo's site and was impressed by the fact that you can design your own jacket and after reading many reviews I ordered a jacket. I initially ordered a wool jacket but I received an email from Waseem saying the colours and style I wanted where only available in fleece. We emailed back and forth a few times and finally arrived at the colours and personalised detailing that I wanted. The jacket was shipped out and I received it 5 days later!!!! The quality of the jacket and materials are outstanding and far exceeded what I was expecting - truly awesome. I cant post a picture yet as my daughter will not get her jacket 'til Xmas day but I am 1000000% confident she wil be blown away with it and I look forward to updating this post . In conclusion if anyone is wanting a jacket from Clothoo I wouldn't hesitate , you won't be disapointed
Fantastic! I LOVE Clothoo inspired jacket! Supreme quality garments. Fast delivery. More LOVE the flexibility to get patches and sewing completed on the spot and the custom design fit my body perfectly! And I Love Theirs' Great Site Will Order Again Soon ...
I was a little worried at first ordering a custom jacket from a company over seas, but it was perfect. Custom Embroidery design. Created and shipped way faster than I thought it would.
I paid $40 for shipping, but it was totally worth receiving my one of a kind jacket! It's really warm, and it's high quality. The embroidery is absolutely beautiful.
This was an amazing experience! I looked around for months and no one was willing/able to make this jacket for me. Finally they said they could! I sent artwork and measurements and we measured three times to make sure it fit. Every message had an update with the art and measurements to make sure we were on the same page. Shipping was fast as well. Couldn't be happier!

Jinxed position? Colorado Buffaloes loses another wide receiver
BOULDER — With the news Thursday that Colorado freshman receiver Jeffrey Thomas has returned home to Dallas for "personal reasons" and will grayshirt (delay his enrollment until January), it got me wondering if wide receiver has become a jinxed position for Colorado.
It sure seems so.
CU coach Jon Embree and his staff signed three wideouts in February, and only one, Gerald Thomas, is in school. Jeffrey Thomas (no relation) and Peyton Williams will grayshirt. Williams is coming off reconstructive knee surgery for an ACL tear suffered last December during the high school playoffs and wouldn't be fully recovered for the start of this season.
For whatever reason — and there seems to be myriad of them — bad luck has followed Colorado wide receiver recruits.

The Accounting Historians Journal
Vol. 14, No. 1
Spring 1987
BARBARA D. MERINO, EDITOR North Texas State University
LaCapra, Dominick. —History & Criticism. Ithaca, NY: Cornell
University Press, 1985, 145pp., $17.50. Porter, Dale L. The Emergence of the Past - A Theory of Historical Explanation. Chicago, University of Chicago Press, 1981, 205pp., $19.00
Reviewed By Barbara D. Merino North Texas State University
These two books deal with very different subject matters but they have a common theme, namely that contemporary know-ledge should not be modeled on the early 20th century's under-standing of certain pieces of 19th century and especially 17th century physics. In short, they reject the deductive covering law model as an appropriate method for historical research. LaCapra examines social and intellectual history and proposes to join the traditional documentary model of history with rhetorical analysis to create a broader, interactive understanding of histori-cal discourse. Porter's thesis is that modern scientific knowledge has changed conceptions of time and events, making historical narrative better able to generate valid explanations than the Newtonian mechanistic paradigm that has had a lasting impact on historical research. Porter contends that "the positivist" deductive law approach is based on a conception of science that was already becoming outmoded when Carl Hempel challenged historians to follow it [p. 63] and that modern science now demands that perception replace the static causal concept of a "fictional physical force" found in deductive law models [p. 69]. Porter advocates use of a "genetic approach to historical methodology," based on the process philosophy of Whitehead and extending the processive model of Hexter.

Racially heated posting sparks UC Berkeley outrage
UC BERKELEY Many don't see satirical bake sale listing as funny
BERKELEY -- A Facebook post announcing plans by a UC Berkeley Republican group to sell baked goods priced according to race, gender and ethnicity - "White/Caucasian" pastries for $2 and "Black/African American" pastries for 75 cents, for example - has drawn outrage on campus.
"I'm ashamed to know that I go to the same school with people who would say stuff like this," responded student Skyler Hogan-Van Sickle on Facebook. "I'm really trying to figure out how someone can be this hateful."
The campus Republicans, who expect to go forward with their "Increase Diversity Bake Sale" on Tuesday, say the event is meant to mock an effort by the student government to drum up support for SB185, a bill to let the University of California and the California State University consider ethnicity in student admissions. It's awaiting approval or veto by Gov. Jerry Brown.
"Our bake sale will be at the same time and location of a phone bank which will be making calls to urge Gov. Brown to sign the bill," posted six students who created the Facebook page. The purpose "is to offer another view to this policy of considering race in university admissions. The pricing structure of the baked goods is meant to be satirical."
But students say the joke is anything but funny. More than 200 students responded to the event, most opposed, and some violently so. One threatened to burn the table and set the cupcakes on fire. At least four student groups sent complaints to campus administrators, and a student-only meeting was set for Friday evening to discuss it.
"It's offensive because of the tactics that they chose," said Joey Freeman, a vice president with the Associated Students of the University of California, Berkeley's student government. "This should be done for constructive dialogue and debate. But not in a way I thought was, frankly, racist."
The posting describes five price levels for pastries, with the highest for "White/Caucasian," and the lowest for "Native American." A 25-cent discount is offered for women.
"If you don't come, you're a racist," the post declares.
Berkeley's tempest follows a series of racial and anti-Semitic incidents across UC campuses, which prompted UC officials to focus new attention on fighting hate speech among students.
In March at UCLA, a student posted a video of herself ranting about Asians. In 2010, UC San Diego students posted racial slurs and caricatures on Facebook, and used campus TV to belittle black students. Someone also hung a noose from light fixture in the library.
At UC Davis, six swastikas were found, including one carved into a Jewish student's door, and someone defaced the gay students' center.
At UC Merced, a video mocking efforts to create a Chicano studies program was posted on Facebook.
In 2010, UC President Mark Yudof described the incidents as "quite simply the worst acts of racism and intolerance I've seen on college campuses in 20 years." He created a committee to help campuses strengthen anti-hate policies. And next year, all students and employees will be asked to take a survey about campus tensions, said UC spokesman Steve Montiel.
At Berkeley, the Facebook posting violates no campus policy, said Gibor Basri, vice chancellor for equity and inclusion.
"The only policy it violates is the principles of community," he said, adding that a campus-wide letter will go out Monday. "We can use this as a teaching moment."
Shawn Lewis, president of the Berkeley College Republicans, was surprised by the number of critics and their harshness and said he agrees that race-based pricing is discriminatory.
"But it's discriminatory in the same way that considering race in university admissions is discriminatory," he said.
