PwC to come under scrutiny over role as BHS's auditors
UK accounting watchdog launches investigation into PwC's audit of BHS.
By Rachel Middleton
Updated June 27, 2016 20:51 BST
PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the UK's big four professional services firms, has come scrutiny by the UK accounting watchdog over its role in the audit of retailer BHS. The investigation relates to PwC's audit of BHS accounts the year before it was sold off.
The investigation by the Financial Reporting Council, is specifically looking into the audit of the financial statements of BHS for the year ended 30 August 2014 — the year before the retailer was sold by Sir Philip Green's Arcadia Group. The sales saw £215m in debts being written off.

Ex-BHS boss Sir Philip Green 'spent £48m on luxury jet'
A PwC spokesman said: "We will co-operate fully with the FRC in its inquiries." PwC stepped down as BHS's auditor after the sale to Dominic Chappell-led Retail Acquisitions in March 2015.
The Financial Times said that following the collapse of BHS in April, the sale to Retail Acquisitions has come under intense scrutiny. MPs are looking into how Sir Philip sold a lossmaking business with a large pension deficit to a company run by Chappell, a former bankrupt with no retail experience.
The newspaper said the FRC's investigations comes following pressure from MP Richard Fuller who had written to its chief executive Stephen Haddrill, asking the watchdog to launch an investigation into the conduct of the directors and advisers involved in the transaction that resulted in the sale.
Fuller had expressed concerns over whether the standards that "underpin high quality actuarial practice" was followed by the auditors.
In a joint BIS/Work and Pensions committee meeting, Sir Philip told MPs that advisers to the sale, including Grant Thornton, Goldman Sachs and Olswang should be held accountable for effectively vouching for Chappell.
BHS came under administration in April about 13 months after it was sold off by Arcadia to Chappell for £1. PwC, The Guardian reports, was questioned by MPs at the hearing over its description of BHS as a going concern just days before it was sold.
At the hearing, PwC partner Steve Denison said: "The existing management team was trying to turn the business around, and had some success in driving costs down and reducing cash requirements; the cash requirements were lower than the losses shown; and there was a deal which would bring extra cash from the vendor and new cash from the purchaser. Compared with the plans, there was no material uncertainty."

Needs not always to prosecute every doctrine which lies in his text, so is he wisely to make choice of such uses as, by his residence and conversing with the flock, he finds most needful and seasonable; and among these, such as may draw their souls to Christ the fountain of light, holiness, and comfort.
A man who knows his sheep will be able to bring the Word of God to them each Lord's Day in such a way as to rebuke their sins where they are falling, encourage perseverance where they are growing in holiness, comfort them in the midst of pain and difficulties, and most of all draw them to Christ.
Has anyone ever told you to "follow your heart", "be who you really are", "do what feels right" or something like this? Such an imperative usually comes from a person who means well, and wants you to know it. I want to add a few drops of digital ink to the ocean which is the internet with the hope of showing why such statements are so hazardous to a correct perception of your identity as a Christian and to your passion for life.
On Friday I spoke of the death and burial of Christ. I went to a Good Friday service with my girlfriend that evening, and it was an excellent portrayal of the depth of Jesus' agony on the cross as he took the sins of all humanity upon himself, all the while experiencing the wrath of God in punishment for sin. That day was the darkest in all of history, because God himself gave up his life in sacrifice for sinful man. God incarnate hung naked on a cross, beaten, bloody and bruised. He gasped for breath, fighting just to exhale. Professional executioners gathered around to mock him, gamble for his clothes and inflict as much pain as possible upon him, ultimately stabbing him with a spear and leaving him to die. He was taken down from the cross, that instrument of torture, and was laid in a tomb, never to walk the earth again — so thought his executioners. The good news is that they were wrong.
What is good about Good Friday? After all, it is the day we mark the death of Jesus Christ, which took place as the result of the outpouring of God's wrath against mankind, and this upon a sinless man!
Consider the weight upon Jesus' shoulders, so much that he would cry out "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death!", while at the Garden of Gethsemane, which refers to an oil press, where a heavy stone would crush olives, squeezing every drop out of them.
For the last month I've been working through a series where I show how God's actions toward Christians are the ultimate example of several of the most common human emotions. We are comforted by God, known by God, loved by God and forgiven by God. I have not explained this series very clearly, so allow me to do that.
This spoke to me, and I hope it does to you as well. Be sorrowful for your sins, yes. More importantly, have a proper knowledge of Christ's status and your standing before him.
Moral of the story: Preaching is powerful, and good notes allow good preaching to continue to be powerful long after the last word has faded from your ears.
Please note: This is the third in a series of 4. If you haven't read the first 2, read them here and here.
Love is one of the most overused and wrongly used words in the entire English language. You love your dog, french fries and your spouse. There's clearly a difference, but it is critically important for us as Christians to make this difference explicit, especially in light of the great love with which God has loved us. This post seeks to reclaim an element of the particularity of the word, and to show not only that God loves you, but also how and to what extent he loves you.
I've spent a lot of time in the last week reflecting on relationships. Not just romantic relationships, but also general, personal human relationships. They form the base of society, and yet we frequently treat them with casual disregard. I want to explore some aspects of relationships, particularly how critical healthy relationships are to normal life, and how a relationship with God is so much more important than anything else.
If you're reading this, I'm assuming a couple of things about you. First, you are a human, and thus have feelings and emotions. Second, because of these feelings and emotions, you have been hurt at some point in your life, some of you deeply hurt by those who should have taken care of you. The third thing I assume about you is that you did not enjoy the process of being hurt. This part isn't complicated. People hurt other people and the consequences are not fun. This is the result of sin in the world, and as long as there is still sin, there will be pain.

Switzerland to hold vote against mandatory covid vaccination policies
The Swiss Freedom Movement (MLS) has collected 125,000 signatures, which is 25,000 more than required, to hold a vote against the prospect of mandatory Wuhan coronavirus (Covid-19) "vaccination."
If passed, the referendum would actually prohibit all vaccinations and implants without an individual's consent – meaning vaccines would always remain voluntary and never be compulsory in Switzerland.
Unlike the United States, Switzerland holds referendums several times a year. Citizens can petition to vote on an issue by collecting signatures for it, and if the threshold is met then the country votes on it.
In this case, the Swiss are trying to get ahead of a possible Fauci Flu injection mandate before one arrives on their doorstep like it already has in nearby Germany and Austria.
Swiss law currently allows for mandatory vaccination policies, though none exist at this time. The referendum would remove that provision and disallow the possibility of vaccines ever being mandated in Switzerland.
Incoming president Ignazio Cassis has said that he would only consider mandatory vaccines "as a last resort" to curb the spread of infection. This is too open-ended, which is why the Swiss are attempting to ban the possibility before it ever has a chance to become reality.
"The person concerned must not be punished for having refused to give his consent, nor suffer social or professional disadvantages," the initiative states.
To clarify again, the referendum covers not only covid injections but also all "other vaccines, chips and digital information that would be implanted in the body."
Get out there and vote, Switzerland!
As part of the referendum, the MLS is calling for the Swiss Constitution to be amended to include specific protections for health freedom and the fundamental right of each citizen to decide for himself whether or not to be injected.
While Swiss authorities have said that mandatory jabs will not be enforced, Switzerland's Epidemic Act technically allows for them in extreme circumstances.
There is also concern that Cassis, who takes office on January 1, might try to impose them. Cassis, also a trained doctor, has suggested in the past that "mandatory vaccination can be useful," which is why the MLS is pushing the referendum.
The date for the referendum has not yet been set, but will likely take place in 2022. It comes after a recent controversial vote approved more covid restrictions (i.e., lockdowns) and so-called vaccine "passports."
Supposedly 62 percent of voters supported that legislation, which was already technically in force, prompting Health Minister Alain Berset to say that authorities "still have the necessary instruments to manage the crisis, and we can, if necessary, adjust the instruments to developments.
"A decision has been made and we must come together now to get through this winter as well as possible," Berset added in a statement. "This is an appeal for unity but also for respect for decisions that have been taken."
The strange thing about that particular referendum is that it saw a 65.7 percent turnout, which reports indicate is "unusually high for a country that holds referendums several times a year."
As you may recall from years past, Switzerland has made some pretty noteworthy decisions with its referendum process. In 2019, for example, the Swiss rose up to help stop the 5G rollout in their country.
"At last, some common sense," wrote one commenter at the DailyMail Online about the new MLS referendum to prohibit mandatory vaccination. "Hopefully it won't be rigged."
"I only wish Australia would follow the Swiss," wrote another. "Holding a referendum on mandating vaccines is not a bad idea. But no, the authorities in Australia would not consider such a proposal. They only wish to dictate such a ruling. The Swiss have the right idea."

Washington Week Host Robert Costa Departs Program
Washington Week host Robert Costa.
Catch the last two Washington Week broadcasts with Robert Costa. After three years as host and managing editor of the Friday night PBS news roundup Washington Week, Robert Costa will conclude his tenure with the 8 p.m. broadcast on Friday, January 1, 2021. Costa is leaving television to co-write a book with renowned journalist Bob Woodward.
Washington Week, produced by WETA, the PBS station in Washington, DC, will continue its weekly roundtable panel discussions about the week's news with renowned journalists, moderated by interim hosts. Washington Week is the longest-running primetime news and public affairs program on television.
WETA President and CEO Sharon Percy Rockefeller said of Costa's departure:
Bob is one of the most talented journalists I know, with a deep commitment to the highest standards of journalism and the relentless drive of an investigative reporter. He has been the ideal moderator of Washington Week for this remarkable political cycle, bringing perspectives from his superb reporting, profound knowledge of politics, and insider sources to the Washington Week roundtable each week.
Respected by his peers, Bob has brought an insightful, diverse and expert slate of reporters to the Friday-night discussions. His abiding dedication to the important role of public broadcasting in our society and for our audiences has made him a valued part of our mission.
Reflecting on his change in career, Robert Costa shared:
While stepping away to co-author a book isn't easy, I do it with a deep sense of appreciation for WETA and Washington Week. This experience, from working with the wonderful crew on Friday night to engaging with the devoted audience, has lifted me as a reporter and been a joy.
In 2017, Sharon Rockefeller welcomed me into the public broadcasting family by giving me the honor of moderating Washington Week. Ever since then, she has been a mentor and friend. I look forward to working with her and the first-rate team at WETA in the future. WETA and PBS, supported by their partners, are truly invaluable institutions in journalism and also in American civic life.
Until a new Washington Week moderator is named, the program will draw from the best of Washington's political reporters to host the roundtable discussions. Washington Week could not be more important in these times; the perspective that reporters bring to the news of the week is critical to our understanding of issues, policy and events as the country moves towards a new president and administration.
Watch Robert Costa in his last two dates as moderator: Fridays at 8 p.m. on December 25, 2020 and January 1, 2021. We hope you will continue watching! Past episodes of Washington Week are available on its program page.

PBS NewsHour Special Reports


Make no mistake: Fresh battle lines are being drawn in the clash between data-mining tech giants and Internet users over people's right to control their personal information and protect their privacy.
An update to European Union data protection rules next month — called the General Data Protection Regulation — is the catalyst for this next chapter in the global story of tech vs privacy.
A fairytale ending would remove that ugly 'vs' and replace it with an enlightened '+'. But there's no doubt it will be a battle to get there — requiring legal challenges and fresh case law to be set down — as an old guard of dominant tech platforms marshal their extensive resources to try to hold onto the power and wealth gained through years of riding roughshod over data protection law.
Payback is coming though. Balance is being reset. And the implications of not regulating what tech giants can do with people's data has arguably never been clearer.
The exciting opportunity for startups is to skate to where the puck is going — by thinking beyond exploitative legacy business models that amount to embarrassing blackboxes whose CEOs dare not publicly admit what the systems really do — and come up with new ways of operating and monetizing services that don't rely on selling the lie that people don't care about privacy.
Right now the EU's General Data Protection Regulation can take credit for a whole lot of spilt ink as tech industry small print is reworded en masse. Did you just receive a T&C update notification about a company's digital service? Chances are it's related to the incoming standard.
The regulation is generally intended to strengthen Internet users' control over their personal information, as we've explained before. But its focus on transparency — making sure people know how and why data will flow if they choose to click 'I agree' — combined with supersized fines for major data violations represents something of an existential threat to ad tech processes that rely on pervasive background harvesting of users' personal data to be siphoned biofuel for their vast, proprietary microtargeting engines.
This is why Facebook is not going gentle into a data processing goodnight.
This is of course another high gloss plank in the company's PR strategy to try to convince users to trust it — and thus to keep giving it their data. Because — and only because — GDPR gives consumers more opportunity to lock down access to their information and close the shutters against countless prying eyes.
But the pressing question for Facebook — and one that will also test the mettle of the new data protection standard — is whether or not the company is doing enough to comply with the new rules.
One important point re: Facebook and GDPR is that the standard applies globally, i.e. for all Facebook users whose data is processed by its international entity, Facebook Ireland (and thus within the EU); but not necessarily universally — with Facebook users in North America not legally falling under the scope of the regulation.
It has claimed it won't give US and Canadian users second tier status where their privacy is concerned — saying they're getting the same "settings and controls" — but unless or until US lawmakers spill some ink of their own there's nothing but an embarrassing PR message to regulate what Facebook chooses to do with Americans' data. It's the data protection principles, stupid.
Zuckerberg was asked by US lawmakers last week what kind of regulation he would and wouldn't like to see laid upon Internet companies — and he made a point of arguing for privacy carve outs to avoid falling behind, of all things, competitors in China.
Which is an incredibly chilling response when you consider how few rights — including human rights — Chinese citizens have. And how data-mining digital technologies are being systematically used to expand Chinese state surveillance and control.
The ugly underlying truth of Facebook's business is that it also relies on surveillance to function. People's lives are its product.
That's why Zuckerberg couldn't tell US lawmakers to hurry up and draft their own GDPR. He's the CEO saddled with trying to sell an anti-privacy, anti-transparency position — just as policymakers are waking up to what that really means.
Facebook has announced a series of updates to its policies and platform in recent months, which it's said are coming to all users (albeit in 'phases'). The problem is that most of what it's proposing to achieve GDPR compliance is simply not adequate.
Coincidentally many of these changes have been announced amid a major data mishandling scandal for Facebook, in which it's been revealed that data on up to 87M users was passed to a political consultancy without their knowledge or consent.
It's this scandal that led Zuckerberg to be perched on a booster cushion in full public view for two days last week, dodging awkward questions from US lawmakers about how his advertising business functions.
But whether Facebook's business having enabled — in just one example — the clandestine psychological profiling of millions of Americans for political campaign purposes ends up being the final, final straw that catalyzes US lawmakers to agree their own version of GDPR is still tbc.
Any new law will certainly take time to formulate and pass. In the meanwhile GDPR is it.
The most substantive GDPR-related change announced by Facebook to date is the shuttering of a feature called Partner Categories — in which it allowed the linking of its own information holdings on people with data held by external brokers, including (for example) information about people's offline activities.
Evidently finding a way to close down the legal liabilities and/or engineer consent from users to that degree of murky privacy intrusion — involving pools of aggregated personal data gathered by goodness knows who, how, where or when — was a bridge too far for the company's army of legal and policy staffers.
Other notable changes it has so far made public include consolidating settings onto a single screen vs the confusing nightmare Facebook has historically required users to navigate just to control what's going on with their data (remember the company got a 2011 FTC sanction for "deceptive" privacy practices); rewording its T&Cs to make it more clear what information it's collecting for what specific purpose; and — most recently — revealing a new consent review process whereby it will be asking all users (starting with EU users) whether they consent to specific uses of their data (such as processing for facial recognition purposes).
As my TC colleague Josh Constine wrote earlier in a critical post dissecting the flaws of Facebook's approach to consent review, the company is — at very least — not complying with the spirit of GDPR's law.
Indeed, Facebook appears pathologically incapable of abandoning its long-standing modus operandi of socially engineering consent from users (doubtless fed via its own self-reinforced A/B testing ad expertise). "It feels obviously designed to get users to breeze through it by offering no resistance to continue, but friction if you want to make changes," was his summary of the process.
But, as we've pointed out before, concealment is not consent.
To get into a few specifics, pre-ticked boxes — which is essentially what Facebook is deploying here, with a big blue "accept and continue" button designed to grab your attention as it's juxtaposed against an anemic "manage data settings" option (which if you even manage to see it and read it sounds like a lot of tedious hard work) — aren't going to constitute valid consent under GDPR.
Nor is this what 'privacy by default' looks like — another staple principle of the regulation. On the contrary, Facebook is pushing people to do the opposite: Give it more of their personal information — and fuzzing why it's asking by bundling a range of usage intentions.
The company is risking a lot here.
In simple terms, seeking consent from users in a way that's not fair because it's manipulative means consent is not being freely given. Under GDPR, it won't be consent at all. So Facebook appears to be seeing how close to the wind it can fly to test how regulators will respond.
Safe to say, EU lawmakers and NGOs are watching.
"Consent should not be regarded as freely given if the data subject has no genuine or free choice or is unable to refuse or withdraw consent without detriment," runs one key portion of GDPR.
Now compare that with: "People can choose to not be on Facebook if they want" — which was Facebook's deputy chief privacy officer, Rob Sherman's, paper-thin defense to reporters for the lack of an overall opt out for users to its targeted advertising.
Data protection experts who TechCrunch spoke to suggest Facebook is failing to comply with, not just the spirit, but the letter of the law here. Some were exceeding blunt on this point.
"Zuckerberg appears to view the combination of signing up to T&Cs and setting privacy options as 'consent'," adds cyber security professor Eerke Boiten. "I doubt this is explicit or granular enough for the personal data processing that FB do. The default settings for the privacy settings certainly do not currently provide for 'privacy by default' (GDPR Art 25).
That looming tweak to the legal justification of Facebook's Custom Audiences feature — a product which lets advertisers upload contact lists in a hashed form to find any matches among its own user-base (so those people can be targeted with ads on Facebook's platform) — also looks problematical.
Here the company seems to be intending to try to claim a change in the legal basis, pushed out via new terms in which it instructs advertisers to agree they are the data controller (and it is merely a data processor). And thereby seek to foist a greater share of the responsibility for obtaining consent to processing user data onto its customers.
However such legal determinations are simply not a matter of contract terms. They are based on the fact of who is making decisions about how data is processed. And in this case — as other experts have pointed out — Facebook would be classed as a joint controller with any advertisers that upload personal data. The company can't use a T&Cs change to opt out of that.
Wishful thinking is not a reliable approach to legal compliance.
Over many years of privacy-hostile operation, Facebook has shown it has a major appetite for even very sensitive data. And GDPR does not appear to have blunted that.
Let's not forget, facial recognition was a platform feature that got turned off in the EU, thanks to regulatory intervention. Yet here Facebook is now trying to use GDPR as a route to process this sensitive biometric data for international users after all — by pushing individual users to consent to it by dangling a few 'feature perks' at the moment of consent.
Veteran data protection and privacy consultant, Pat Walshe, is unimpressed.
"The sensitive data tool appears to be another data grab," he tells us, reviewing Facebook's latest clutch of 'GDPR changes'. "Note the subtlety. It merges 'control of sharing' such data with FB's use of the data "to personalise features and products". From the info available that isn't sufficient to amount to consent for such sensitive data and nor is it clear folks can understand the broader implications of agreeing.
"The face recognition suggestions are woeful," he continues. "The second image — is using an example… to manipulate and stoke fear — "we can't protect you".
Of course it goes without saying that Facebook users will keep uploading group photos, not just selfies. What's less clear is whether Facebook will be processing the faces of other people in those shots who have not given (and/or never even had the opportunity to give) consent to its facial recognition feature.
People who might not even be users of its product.
There are suggestions it will indeed be doing that. But if it does it will be breaking the law.
And Facebook does already profile non-users — despite Zuckerberg's claims to Congress not to know about its shadow profiles. So the risk is clear.
It can't give non-users "settings and controls" not to have their data processed. So it's already compromised their privacy — because it never gained consent in the first place.
But nothing in the measures Facebook has revealed so far, as its 'compliance response' to GDPR, suggest it intends to pro-actively change that.
Walshe also critically flags how — again, at the point of consent — Facebook's review process deploys examples of the social aspects of its platform (such as how it can use people's information to "suggest groups or other features or products") as a tactic for manipulating people to agree to share religious affiliation data, for example.
"The social aspect is not separate to but bound up in advertising," he notes, adding that the language also suggests Facebook uses the data.
Again, this whiffs a whole lot more than smells like GDPR compliance.
"What matters most is whether FB's processing decisions will be GDPR compliant, not what exact controls are given to FB members," he concludes.
US lawmakers also pumped Zuckerberg on how much of the information his company harvests on people who have a Facebook account is revealed to them when they ask for it — via its 'Download your data' tool.
'Download your Data' is clearly partial and self-serving — and thus it also looks very far from being GDPR compliant.
Facebook is not even complying with the spirit of current EU data protection law on data downloads. Subject Access Requests give individuals the right to request not just the information they have voluntarily uploaded to a service, but also personal data the company holds about them; Including giving a description of the personal data; the reasons it is being processed; and whether it will be given to any other organizations or people.
Facebook not only does not include people's browsing history in the info it provides when you ask to download your data — which, incidentally, its own cookies policy confirms it tracks (via things like social plug-ins and tracking pixels on millions of popular websites etc etc) — it also does not include a complete list of advertisers on its platform that have your information.
Instead, after a wait, it serves up an eight-week snapshot. But even this two month view can still stretch to hundreds of advertisers per individual.
There's plenty of other information harvested from users that Facebook also intentionally fails to divulge via 'Download your data'. And — to be clear — this isn't a new problem either. The company has a very long history of blocking these type of requests.
In the EU it currently invokes a exception in Irish law to circumvent more fulsome compliance — which, even setting GDPR aside, raises some interesting competition law questions, as Paul-Olivier Dehaye told the UK parliament last month.
"Ads Topics" looks rather random and undigested, and doesn't include the clear categories available to advertisers," he further notes.
Facebook wouldn't comment publicly about this when we asked. But it maintains its approach towards data downloads is GDPR compliant — and says it's reviewed what it offers via with regulators to get feedback.
Earlier this week it also put out a wordy blog post attempting to diffuse this line of attack by pointing the finger of blame at the rest of the tech industry — saying, essentially, that a whole bunch of other tech giants are at it too.
What its blog post didn't say — yet again — was anything about how all the non-users it nonetheless tracks around the web are able to have any kind of control over its surveillance of them.
And remember, some Facebook non-users will be children.
So yes, Facebook is inevitably tracking kids' data without parental consent. Under GDPR that's a majorly big no-no.
TC's Constine had a scathing assessment of even the on-platform system that Facebook has devised in response to GDPR's requirements on parental consent for processing the data of users who are between the ages of 13 and 15.
So again, the company is being shown doing the minimum possible — in what might be construed as a cynical attempt to check another compliance box and carry on its data-sucking business as usual.
Given that intransigence it really will be up to the courts to bring the enforcement stick. Change, as ever, is a process — and hard won.
Hildebrandt is at least hopeful that a genuine reworking of Internet business models is on the way, though — albeit not overnight. And not without a fight.


Located in Tucson's Barrio Historico, this residence is a modern interpretation of the neighborhood's traditional courtyard architecture. From the street, the house is anonymous, fitting into the Barrio context with façade proportions and door and window openings in keeping with neighborhood guidelines. The interior of the house is something very different: a contemplative courtyard experience focused on the sky and a swimming pool that fosters a year round connection between the home's interior and exterior spaces.
The house contains an additional surprise: a long rooftop periscope over the kitchen draws the view of the distant mountain vista into the interior of the house where it appears as if looking through a broad window. This experience of the interplay of framed views and reflections is repeated in more subtle ways throughout the house, capturing the intimacy of the courtyard and its landscaping as well as the ever-changing Sonoran desert sky.

Buccaneers' Giovani Bernard takes blame for botched fake punt in tense exchange with reporters
Edward Sutelan
It felt like a major momentum shift Sunday when the Buccaneers botched a fake punt while leading 17-3 and giving the ball back to the Bengals in Tampa Bay territory.
On Tampa Bay's first drive of the third quarter, the Buccaneers drew up what was supposed to be a a fake punt, but it apparently caught backup running back Giovani Bernard by surprise when the ball hit him in the helmet.
Asked about the play after the game, Bernard began the exchange with reporters by expressing his frustration that they only wanted to speak with him when something bad happens and that he just wanted to see his family rather than address the play. He eventually relented, taking responsibility for the mistake but saying little else other than it was his fault.
"Miscommunication, that's all it was on my part," Bernard said. "I take complete fault for that."
Bucs running back Giovani Bernard didn't want to talk to the media about what happened on the botched fake punt. Here's that interaction.

Asked whether he knew it was a fake punt, Bernard again wouldn't dive into the answer, just saying he didn't know and that the play was his fault.
"I messed up," he said repeatedly before the exchange ended.
Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles was more clear about the play during his press conference. He explained that Bernard missed the ball and knew it was a fake.

Bowles defended the decision to try for the fake punt on fourth-and-1 from the Tampa Bay 26, saying that it was a play the team has practiced and that he felt the blocking was there on the play for the Buccaneers to pick up more than enough yardage to get the first down.
"Yeah we needed one yard, we had it and we practiced it all week and he just didn't handle it," Bowles said.
The Bengals turned the turnover on downs into just three points after being stopped at the Tampa Bay 3, but the momentum took a hard swing. The Bengals went on to score 34 unanswered points and win the game 34-23.
Bernard's tense exchange drew plenty of attention, including from NBA star Kevin Durant, who praised Bernard's responses and criticized the media's handling of the situation.

Entitlement in this world has gone to another level. Media believes they are responsible for the popularity of the game
MORE: Bengals, Joe Burrow bailed out with holding penalty
ESPN's Jenna Laine defended the exchange, saying that Bernard is contractually obligated to speak to the media — all players are — and noting that the media would have spoken with Bernard earlier in the season, but he has been injured. He has appeared in only five games this season, having been placed on IR on Sept. 21 and returning on Nov. 26.
Players on injured reserve do not speak with the media.
Every player this year who has made some type of in-game mistake has spoken about it without issue. In a team that has had communication problems all year, the No. 1 thing we wanted to know was, 'Did he get the call that it was a trick play?' We can't just go off of what we see.
Further…I posted the clip in its entirely because 1) I believe in transparency and 2) It provides an honest look at what a locker room is like when a team with Super Bowl expectations falls to 6-8. If the reality of that is too much for people…I don't know what to tell you.

Delta Sextantis (δ Sex / 29 Sextantis) es una estrella en la constelación de Sextans, el sextante.
De magnitud aparente +5,18, es la cuarta más brillante en su constelación después de α Sextantis, γ Sextantis y β Sextantis.
Se encuentra a 322 años luz del Sistema Solar.

Delta Sextantis es una estrella blanco-azulada de la secuencia principal de tipo espectral B9.5V.
Tiene una temperatura efectiva de 10.360 K y su luminosidad es 95 veces superior a la luminosidad solar.
Con un radio 2,3 veces más grande que el del Sol, rota con una velocidad proyectada entre 140 y 172 km/s.
Posee una masa 2,82 veces mayor que la masa solar y, en cuanto a su edad, ha discurrido ya 3/4 partes de su etapa como estrella la secuencia principal.

Delta Sextantis muestra una abundancia relativa de hierro inferior a la solar en un 70% ([Fe/H] = -0,52). El magnesio manifiesta idéntica tendencia, mientras que el nivel de silicio es mucho más parecido al del Sol.
Recientes estudios revelan que un amplio número de estrellas de tipo B también presentan anomalías químicas —en cuanto a que los niveles de los distintos metales difieren de los solares—, hasta ahora circunscritas a estrellas más frías de tipo Am y Fm.

Slate is readily available on Vancouver Island and is a good choice if you are wanting a garden feature that is not too heavy. It is usually very thin and can be found in large slabs allowing more surface area for the design without the weight of other stones. Because of this same thinness there is more danger of the stone breaking so should be handled carefully. Below are a few examples of designs you might find at our booth at craft fairs. We have a large selection of both natural and tumbled slate to choose from, and we would be happy to work with you to create a custom design for your home or garden.

_ A practical 4 hours class in Lisbon, with Musicians. These professionals working at health and social settings, contribute for more human health system.
It was a pleasure to share with them some notions about the importance of Body, body expression and awareness for 4 hours, in November, 2011.


Just two weeks after Congress negotiated a last-minute deal to avert going over the fiscal cliff, economists say political roadblocks by Republicans, who have gotten hammered lately, are again throwing tantrums over the nation's borrowing limit and could once again threaten to cause grave harm the nation's sluggish recovery and 99 percent of Americans' well being.
"It's probably the biggest headwind right now," said Paul Ashworth, chief North America economist with Capital Economics.
The first group of course says,"My gosh, of course it should be raised — why are we even talking about this? The thought of willingly defaulting on the national debt is insane and shows a deep lack of understanding about how economies work!" This is not a self-imposed deadline like the fiscal cliff. This is real-world, and it has serious consequences for every American. They[the GOP] are playing Russian Roulette with Americans' livelihoods.
This might seem logical to your average, run-of-the-mill community college drop-out, and it's mostly right. But it's just flawed enough to be absolutely, disastrously, and tragically wrong.
First of all, the government certainly does take in enough tax revenue to cover interest payments on the national debt — by at least a factor of 10. In fact, despite the hand-wringing, and downright lying by that second group above, interest payments as a percentage of GDP are actually near the lowest level in 40 years.
But again, teabaggers, ne'er-do-wells, nay-sayers, listen up…the government is NOT like a household that receives a fixed amount of pay every other Friday and pays a static mortgage payment on the first of the month. Tax revenue and expenses are uneven, irregular, and coming and going in sporadic fits and starts.
That's an incredibly important distinction. Why? Because although it's accurate that on an annual basis the government takes in enough to cover interest payments, it's categorically not true on a day-by-day, week-by-week, month-by-month, basis.
So, on its first day with no spare cash on hand, the Treasury is projected to receive $9 billion in tax receipts and owe a $30 billion interest payment.
Suppose you are a parent with a child that desperately needs to have his appendix removed or he'll probably die, or at least become gravely ill, but you just don't have the money in the bank to pay for it that day. Are you, a parent, going to mull over whether or not you should go borrow the money to have your child's soon-to-rupture appendix removed or just hope that it will hold off just long enough for you to get paid or worse, won't actually be that bad? I guess if you don't understand or don't care about the consequences, the kid is toast. Welcome to the GOP mentality. "As long as it doesn't affect me? @%#$ it.
Even if we shut down all the Federal courts, send the FBI home, lay off all Federal workers, suspend all Social Security payments, and stop paying soldiers, the Treasury still wouldn't have enough money to make its Feb. 15 interest payment on that day. (But I bet the Congress won't miss a payment, a healthcare insurance claim-for LIFE , or a pension deposit-for LIFE !).
That is what's known as a debt default.
It's not a fiscal cliff/slope/whatever. It's serious hurt for 99 percent of Americans and the economy as a whole.
The Treasury is expected to bring in $40 billion of tax revenue from Feb. 19 to Feb. 21, and it could easily make its interest payment then, at that time, but only after being in default for four business days. That's why, until this current flock of nutjob Republicans, the debt-celing increase has always been a ten-minute parliamentary procedure, not a dangerous game of Russian Roulette with House GOP using the American people as human shields. The average American doesn't even know it's happening, but what would happen to financial markets during those four days as the full faith and credit of the United States goes up in smoke?
I don't want to find out…and anybody with a brain or a conscience shouldn't either. It's absolutely insane that we have Republicans who are so out-of-touch with how the government (that they hate so much, yet will campaign to remain a part of at virtually any cost) works, that they are AGAIN considering using it as some sort of hostage-taking. It really is tantamount to domestic terrorism.
The risk of defaulting by not raising the debt ceiling is so irresponsible, so treasonous, that the Republicans considering it should be prosecuted for domestic terrorism and shipped off to Gitmo.
According to Politico, a right-wing online "news" organization, Congressman Jason Chaffetz warns that "lawmakers are prepared to shut things down or even default if Obama doesn't bend on spending." What do they season these teabaggers' food with, LSD?
Yes, we've been down this rabbit hole before. Last summer's debt ceiling debate and in the more recent fiscal-cliff negotiations, the Republicans basically threatened to hold their breath til they turned blue like petulant children. Both parties try to intimidate each other and draw lines in the sand, the Dow falls about a thousand points as investors panic that these fools won't come to their senses, congresspersons suddenly realize they need to get serious, and a deal comes at the last possible moment. But the magnitudes of even getting close to, or threatening to default are so serious and would shellac so many, that I can't believe Congress would actually allow it.
But with this bunch of clowns, that only work 126 days a year for life-long pensions, healthcare and ever-increasing staffs? Sure. They could do it and never feel the pain themselves. And really, therein lies the rub.
I don't have Warren Buffet's or a Congressperson's money to pad my fall if they do. Do you?
For pete's sake Red States. Quit sending these idiots to Congress!!
I don't know who has been seasoning the House GOPs food, but it couldn't have been the House of Reps dining facility. Because apparently it's been closed recently because nobody goes there. They're always off fundraising instead.

Q: Can't assign SSL certificate to Google App Engine app I've gone through all the steps of setting up an SSL certificate on a Google App Engine app with custom domain.  It worked for our test app (URL: test.mycompany.com).  Now I'm went through the exact same process with our demo site (URL: demo.mycompany.com).  Google is not letting me assign the URL to the certificate.

A: Figured this out.  This posting was most helpful: How do I enable SSL for custom domains on appengine?.
In short, first add the custom domain in the Google Apps admin.  Don't add it to the Google App Engine Console.  Then in the Google Apps Security settings upload the certificate and assign the URL to the certificate.  Adding the custom domain to Google Apps Console after doing this.
Having the custom domain defined in GAE admin console first, produces the error, "We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later. (Error #1000)".

About a year ago I wrote an article about the Committee of 100 Cafeteria on Southwestern Adventist University's campus, taking a critical look at how the café operated and what was being served. Much of the article dealt with the lack of options and the predictability of the café menu. This past year, however, I believe there's been a huge change in not only in how food is served, but the health benefits of the food as well.
With the arrival of new Head Chef Mandy Smith, the café has vastly improved not only its variety, but its quality. Chef Mandy's prime objective for the café has been making sure that they serve healthy, nutrient rich food that still tastes delicious. One of the most obvious ways this has been implemented is by moving the salad bar to the front of the serving table, motivating students toward a healthy start to every meal. This has also been accomplished through a variety of different dishes, all done from scratch and made with fresh ingredients. Much of the produce served in the café comes from local farmers in the community.
The ingredients are not the only thing that stays fresh in the café. Not often does one walk into a meal time to find the same dish that was served the week before. Chef Mandy and the kitchen staff have been very good about making sure that the menu does not become stale or mundane. Leftovers are a rarity, and the dishes are varied and eclectic in nature. If you don't like the main dish, there's always an alternative. Don't like either? The sandwich bar is always open. The café has also installed new cereal dispensers that are always available, as well as fresh fruit.
The café has made some strides in the past year, but as with everything, there is still room for improvement. Specifically, the hot food service in the Rusty Bucket has slumped in the past year. Whereas they used to be open every day, hot food is only served two days a week, and at irregular hours. I'm told that this is due to the lack of hands in the kitchen because of tight class schedules. There is also the problem of lack of hot food availability. There are often many items on the menu that run out quickly and then are not replaced. I have no doubt, however, that these inconveniences will soon be remedied. The food sold in the Bucket is a little better, and I really enjoy the new "customize-your-order" system in place for hot food.

Warning: I'm about to start whining.
I feel like a lump. Last week I had an ear infection and tonsillitis of the throat (not the tonsils, so it's actually called something else, but no one has ever heard of it). I feel a lot better, but still very run down and have this annoying cough and my lungs feel heavy.
Except for about a total of 2 hours of pilates I have done absolutely nothing in two weeks. I'm feeling a little discouraged (and like I can actually feel my muscles deteriorating) since this really is the official beginning of my healthy lifestyle and it's not starting very healthy. And at this point I have my first challenge—the Ragnar Relay in five weeks. That may seem like a long time, but it will be here before I know it.
It doesn't help that it's been rainy and cold.
